[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] infobg:
Hello,

I installed Sunno HDi Build 23676 but some problems occur not only with the Contact but also with the Office Moble and the GPS. Not all programs run with that driver. There is a ROM kitchen in Chinese in the following forum: http://www.forums.smart-telephone.org/rom-versions/sunno-hdi-roms/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] don_walio:
Folks: I have HERO and downloaded official 2.1 update earlier this summer. I was really hoping that issues like dialer lag and general "under-performance" feel on HERO would improve but I am still disappointed. I have still lot of time before I get eligible for a phone upgrade. I have no experience with rooting or custom ROMs. Would a HTC sense-less ROM help my case? I love the form-factor of this phone but lag just kills the experience.

I would really appreciate if someone can point me to step-by-step procedure on how to get a ROM on HERO that works lag-free.

thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
keep it stock if you like. thats how i did it at first. i rooted the stock stuff and deleted tons of sprint bloatware and the other useless apps; peep, teeter, gmail, socialnetworkprovider.apk...tons of stuff. after doing ONLY that, my device was faster and more responsive. ive never used a 'killer' of any sorts. linux is smart and you dont need 'killers'. of course, others may argue differently.

so head over to the dev forum and learn how to root.

edit: read, read, read. thats what i was told to do and i did. a lot of prep was required before rooting but if you follow the directions, it will go very smoothly
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
In my opinion, the two fastest ROMs here are

Darchdroid 2.8 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=703133

and Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=722122

But know that these two ROMs are based off Android only, and don't have the HTC Sense user-interface (in other words, they will look different than stock and have some different apps and features).

But first you will need to root your phone following these steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

After you root your phone, NANDROID BACKUP! Then you can try deleting apps like the post above mentions. See this post here about deleting apps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581976

If just doing that isn't good enough for you, try one of the two ROMs I posted above. I think you'll find that rooting your phone is a very wise and eye-opening decision :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Lol chromiumleaf you didn't recommend the ROM in your sig :p

OP if you are willing to root and still want Sense UI, nfinitefx45's stock ROM is for you. If you follow the instructions you will basically run an over clocked (if you choose, but recommended), streamlined version of stock ROM + apps2sd (your choice, but recommended)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] don_walio:
thank you all for quick replies and helpful pointers to the resources. Looks like rooting + deleting apps is the first step. I will try that. Btw hadnt relaized that custom ROMs is a world on its own :-)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJB628:
It sure it as I have also been reading, and one more thing incase you did not know and I don't believe it was mentioned in this thread you need to not be on the 2.1 .6 firmware, you need to downgrade to the .5 firmware to be able to root, I know it is in the instructions pasted by other but was just giving you a reminder incase you still have not done anything. Now if you did finally Root I would like to know how it went, as I am also almost ready to Root, tired of mine going into sleep mode and not responding, anyways it has been a while since you were suppose to have rooted, just curious how it went and how was your experience, and if you did finally go to a custom Rom which one did you go with??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markus_del_marko:
if you want to stay close to stock but be rooted id say use the stock rooted .6 rom with apps2sd. you could also use an oc kernel but i never found it did much for my phone. always use advance task killer and use a memory manager like autokiller and set it to aggressive or ultimate. my hero runs pretty good now. if your daring you could try the new froyo rom too.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Zilliano:
The only difference between the stock 2.1 lockscreen and the one on the X seems to be that they've given the X a flat, non-clear texture. It does look nice, but, is there any way I can get the original look of the bars back? I love the circular icons this version uses, but the way the bars look like they're sort of folded when you pull them out bugs me.

Does anyone know where I can find the original images, so that I can edit the normal framework-res and get that back? I know there's a metamorph theme that does that for the Eris, but I'm 99% sure that such a thing wouldn't work on the X.
[Captivate General] Sti ftw:
This is my third Android phone, but the first with this problem. Zip files only download like 64kb,and not the whole zip.When I download a metamorph theme for example on my phone it will say the theme is invalid. But if I download that same file om my comp and copy to my sd card, itll work......my captivate wont download the full zip. Please help:eek::mad:
[Captivate General] IsaiahC:
I have the same issue, haven't seen it resolved.
[Captivate General] Sti ftw:
Blah. This is something so simple I was able to do on my nexus and droid 1. Pretty sad the Cappy cant
[Captivate General] tytdfn:
Is this on just the default browser or on opera and dolphin too?
[Captivate General] Sti ftw:
I tried dolphin and same....
[Captivate General] iGuitar93:
Does it do this with other types of downloads?
[Captivate General] tranms:
I read somewhere that certain file types like zip and rar isn't associated with any program and the download will fail. Download Crutch Lite app allows you to download the file by allowing you to associate it to a program. Not sure though.
[Captivate General] Sti ftw:
Tried it and still doesnt work......
[Captivate General] lost2030:
I've downloaded small ROMs that are zip files and they work fine. I've tried large zip files and they don't work.

[Streak 5 General] moosic:
Will I be able to walk into an AT&T store on Friday and purchase the Streak? Or are all orders being fulfilled via dell.com? This isn't entirely clear to me.

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
I'm not sure but most likely only at dell.com. A way dell has survived is to sell directly and not worry about resellers, hence you see dell booths at malls.

I'm making this guess because there is no word about the streak on Att's site. also some guy on twitter asked dell the following

[HD2 General] Scabes24:
Sorry if there's already a "purple stains on my HD2" but I just ordered this one on ebay and apparently the guy's daughter kept a purple case on it.. this is the result.

I don't wanna screw it up trying to clean it with alcohol but does it look like this could come out? or has anyone else used cases that have caused this?
[HD2 General] toreone:
Just get yourself a nice black case and with time the purple might wear down. I would much rather do that than ruin the rubbery finish it has!? But then again..i guess the choice is yours..my guess would be that it was a case with a custom paint job because there is no reason why the finish should have been coming off.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yeah, I suspect that color is probably actually "Beijing Pink"...classic mark (no pun intended) of a cheap paint job on a cheap case.

I haven't tried alcohol on this phone so I don't know if it'll affect the finish or not. Sometimes you can get that stuff to come up with a pencil eraser, but only in certain situations. Might be worth a try though.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
If you can't take it off with an eraser you'll end up buying a cover. If you use alcohol and can't remove it or damage the finish you're still going to end up putting a cover.

I say you just try the alcohol route. If it doesn't come off then that's fine cuz you were going to slap cover on it anyways. I'd try a mr. clean magic eraser sponge, orange citrus cleaner stuff, goo-gone and alcohol being my last resort. Use Q Tips.
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Looks like a bit of moisture got trapped between the phone and the case.

Knowing how tough red stains are to get out, in just about any environment, good luck is all I can say.
[HD2 General] juggamonkey:
i had this same problem with a old nokia i had a blue case on it and it somehow stained the battery cover blue . i tried everything to get it off but i was desperate and said hey let me try some black magic spray on tire shine .left it on there for about five min and it wiped off like butter lol also works good for stickers on car bumpers let me know if this helps .
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
Yes it was :/ the seller sent it with the pink/purple case, looks like it was spray painted (very poorly too). I do have a black rubber case that came with my first one, but i can't see it helping anytime soon..

Yeah, I suspect that color is probably actually "Beijing Pink"...classic mark (no pun intended) of a cheap paint job on a cheap case.

yeah ill give that a try lol seems safe enough. (and the purple seems to be "soaked' into the finish ..at least thats what it looks like..) thanks! :D

Thanks alot guys :)

The eraser didn't seem to work :/ , haven't tried the alcohol yet but I was wonderin if any of you knew about using acetone, nail polish remover, or gunkOff as far as embeded spray paint removal? (like which route is the safest)
[Captivate Accessories] acandia007:
I just got the best buy insurance plan last tuesday because my phone fell n i got chips on it >.>.

but than decided if i get a full body screen protector plus a case(case on the way from ebay =D) i dont think ill be needing the best buy one.

because it is 10$ a month... do you guys think its worth it.

btw is the zagg full max worth it because i am getting it for 12 dollars..

[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Just think, if you keep your phone two years... $240 on insurance.

Half the cost of the phone.

It's almost ALWAYS a better investment to spend the $20 on a case and then pocket the $10/mo into your own personal "insurance fund".
[Captivate Accessories] acandia007:
True.. Because today im going to best buy n decide there.

Well wht about the att one.. How does it par even though it has deductibles
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
$125 deductible... $5 a month is half as much, so $120 over two years. $120+$125= $245

It's a wash but based on the fact the BB doesn't have deductibles it might be cheaper if you have to replace it twice.

But all in all, you can insure yourself to death, I vote just get a $20 case and call it good.
[Captivate Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
you guys are funny.......

www.squaretrade.com

and stop overpaying for insurance on electronics!!!! use www.RetailMeNot.com to get coupon codes, seriously people.......
[Captivate Accessories] thedon809:
I have it because cases are gay.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
ST only insures the money spent on the device, not the device itself. Check facts before posting.

Also, BB warranties obviously only apply to BB purchased devices.
[Captivate Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
ummmmmm, WHAT? so you're telling me that when my TyTN II died the first time under SquareTrade's warranty and I paid $750 for it, giving me back $750 after a year and a half was........ not what I wanted? Check YOUR facts before rambling....
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
I bought my Captivate on a pricing error for $299.

Guess how much SquareTrade will cover? $299. If my device dies, they'll cut me a check for $299 because the retail $499 price is too expensive.

So check YOUR facts, please.

Let's also assume a $499 device had a $300 repair done to it. They devalue your coverage by that much, so now you've only got $199 left. So now let's say your device breaks completely. Well, you've only got $199 coverage left, they'll cut you a check for $199 and you're SOL on the rest.

Again, like I said earlier, they insure your money invested, not the device. So please stop talking out of your ass when you have no idea.
[Captivate Accessories] firehazard:
Insurance is always offered at a rate which would make the provider money. So no, you couldn't convince me that any phone insurance out there is "worth it."
[Captivate Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
CLOSE, but they don't cover the $299 because $499 is too expensive, moron, they cover it because THAT'S WHAT YOU PAID! You don't go to the dealership and buy a $40K car then tell your insurance company "well, it's worth $80K, but I got a good deal on it because of a pricing error" - sucks you couldn't buy it for $275 like everyone else who early upgraded

How do you think insurance works? Seriously, what the hell.....

Where are you getting this information from??? Here's how it REALLY works since you're just going to make up whatever the hell you want here..... I bought a $750 TyTN II and insured it for the full amount I paid. After a year and a half, my keyboard buttons started sticking - called them up, they said they could fix it in 5 days or refund my purchase price if they couldn't (the full $750!), just how it states on their website. They sent the phone back with the Tilt keyboard instead, and the buttons were in the wrong place, so I sent it back to fix it right or pay me the $750. They couldn't get the keyboard in the 5 days, so they sent me $750 back to my PayPal account!!!!!! Furthermore, since they screwed up, they also added in the purchase price of the warranty which they have NO problems doing (they refunded it back to me on a separate occasion too, but your little brain can't process that much info all at once). Directly from their website:

So WHERE do you get the fact that once they do a service (replace my keyboard) that they deduct the money involved in the service??? They cancel the warranty if your plan requires a refund of the purchase price of the device, but that has NOTHING to do with subtracting the amount of money spent in repairs........
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Exactly like I originally stated. They warrant the amount invested but not the device.

How about their own terms?

Now maybe perhaps you can shut the hell up and go back to being ignorant.
[Captivate Accessories] gerbick:
In the case of Squaretrade, you can always go up to the $599 device plan and they will pay for your $499 device if need be.

They have multiple tiers. I'm thinking of getting the middle tier for their smartphones and if I need to, and I'll pay the difference if it's above that amount to replace that phone.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Wrong.

What part of "Your item is covered for up to the full purchase price" do you not understand?

In the case of subsidy, the "full purchase price" will be the MSRP (which is shown on your receipt), but outside of that "full purchase price" is the amount paid.
[Captivate Accessories] boborone:
Me too

[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
I have no case and no insurance.... I will deal with things as they happen. I hate cases, and I find the cost of insurance to high; over the 2 year life of the phone contract I would be paying for a second phone (at subsidized rates).

No other products have such high insurance rates. You don't pay $20,000 in insurance fees over the loan period of a car (5 years) or even over the normal usage duration (10 years) of a car.

But small personal electronics are lost and dropped in toilets all the time (apparently) so the insurance companies have to be able to cover all these people and not go out of business.

The best strategy is to buy these things when they are 6 months old and get the By One Get One offer - then you have a backup.
[Captivate Accessories] gerbick:
Insurance at $144 or so covers $599 via their Premium Smartphone insurance. You paid $499 for the Captivate without subsidy. Last I checked, $499 is less than $599.

So you would be covered for $499 when/if the need arises.
[Captivate Accessories] CraigP17:
ill try to be impartial answering this. yes its worth it. 240 over 2 years may be half the price of the phone, but thats still less than full price of the phone if you want to buy it outright after destroying it.

no deductible, no limit to claims. only thing my customers dislike is the wait time while it is out for service, an issue for most customers and not wanting to put money down on a loaner phone. shouldnt be an issue with the common XDA forum poster...we all have tons of phones lying around we can use in the meantime.

i get a wicked good discount on phones through work and I dont pay any cell bills and i have the 4 major carriers. and i still get the Black tie protection on all my phones

[Captivate Accessories] denellum:

[Captivate Accessories] sk8inrj1:
I like the simple fact I can chuck my captivate in the air and it smash on the concrete and roll into the pool and BestBuy will cover it. ATT does NOT cover physical damage or water damage. I've been known to chuck a phone at a wall or drop my phone and step on it trying to "catch" it with my foot!:D
[Desire General] xwizit:
ok so this is my first post here after a night of troubleshooting i decided i might ask here directly since everyone seems to know what is going on.

im a fairly big phone noob but i do know what basic references mean.

so anyway, i have an asian desire, unlocked, unbranded (but apparently even though its completely unbranded, the fact that its chinese and has chinese texts places it in the "branded" category.)

so last night i grew tired of waiting for froyo for asian desires and decided to change things around.

things i did.

changed my rom from stock asian rom to RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed

installed froyo from one of the links on this site (untouched, official HTC euro rom).

since then, anything that uses the "radio" doesnt work. recorder freezes, google maps doesnt work, my location doesnt work, etc.

now, ive read i need to upgrade the radio. thing is, my phone is not rooted. and id rather not root at all, all i wanted was froyo (and iirc, i cant root now anyway, since im on 2.2)

is there any way i can fix my issues with my phone now? thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPerson:
dmaverick50 posted about this but didnt seem pissed like i am. My phone's browser went from 2mb to 58mb yesterday because it is not a stable NATIVE application, so i had to close all windows and kill the process to get the low memory notification gone, I couldnt even send or receive texts because i had a total of 5mb of internal memory. It did the same thing today. How is this acceptable? Are only a few people experiencing this? I paid $600 for this phone. This is in no way OK. My phone is stock, i understand android has many bugs. Hell i cant send pictures to iphones, ANY iphones and ive tried to send them to every kind except the original model. Why is my awesome superphone so ****ing unstable? I love this damn phone why is android trying so hard to push its customers away?

i've seen this happen every once in a while. Normally the cache gets filled from poorly coded websites. The cache clears itself on a regular basis once the program falls out of the recent apps list. But since that doenst always happen the cache is kept full for a while. Its not the brower or android its the poorly coded website.

www.pocketnow.com is one such website. Love the site, but cant go to it in a browser.

LOL to iphones i know a fix for this and this is iphones fault actually.. that can receive images over 600k android phones by default sends 1M and can receive up to 2M i think, but change your settings to send mms at 600k(handcent) and send it to a iphone and they will get it with no problem(my buddy had this problem i found the fixed also tried this with a families iphone too and it worked

also i havent experience the other issue i nor allow it usually every 3 weeks or soi go into recovery and clear my cache out jus a habit i do..

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
i think androidperson knows how to clear the cache. the problem is that the data portion balloons to insane numbers, if you clear that you lose your data. You have to close all of your windows and end the browser process. its not that it cant be fixed, its just that its annoying and shouldnt be that way. for me the problem began with froyo

interesting about the iphone thing ive had that issue for a good while now, really annoying
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Would you rather have your browser misbehave because it can't cache the site?

Maybe you would rather be limited by 300k MMS size (because most older and/or simpler devices don't support any larger)?

'Android is irresponsible' because your device happens to have low memory in stock form?

Or maybe because other devices are outdated and can't support newer features?

Yeah right.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
Haha iPhone only support 600k mms only double ok older phones android I notice can handle 1.2M and I believe up to 2M wife sent herself a pic that was about around that size and she got it
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
this has already been covered. google has changed the browser in froyo to more aggressivley cache your active webpages so that when you hit the back button, or lost a data connection (i.e. entered into a tunnel or something), the network doesnt need to refresh and it pulls it from local memory. this was a huge request in the google forums to implement this, and google did it.

the only thing i can suggest is to close the open windows you have in the brower, and your space should return. you shouldnt even have to clear any cache, just see how many tabs you have open and close them, cause each one is probably being cached.

personally i like the new way, i dont get any out of memory errors yet.
