[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klopinator:
Hey guys,

Wondering if any of the Hero-ologists here can help.

I have a CDMA Hero, running the most current radio, kernel, etc. Currently I'm running the CM6 nightly with JIT enabled, (Linpack is ~4.9, Quadrant ranks higher than average Motodroid, FTW)

Anyway, I've had the issues below for months now. Nothing changes with kernel, ROM, anything.

From the moment I bought my Hero it's run exceptionally hot. I've come to believe that perhaps it's simply due to the fact that I live in a 1X area, averaging about -100db signal. Battery has always gone extremely fast as well, but that's pretty common.

I have two batteries and an extra charger, and generally I keep a rotation throughout the day, and often I use all 3 batteries. I'm a pretty heavy user (hah, sounds like a drug).

Alright, so here are my symptoms, besides the rapid battery drain:

-Sometimes when my battery states it is somewhere around 20-30%, it will suddenly restart, then it will say it's around 3-7% and to connect my charger.

-Randomly, occasionally, my phone will simply give up charging. This happens plugged into USB, my car charger, or the factory charger.

-When it gives up charging, sometimes the light will stay orange anyway.

-Usually, the LED will instead switch to a rapid-flash of orange/green/2 seconds/orange/green/2 seconds...and so on....and it most certainly is not receiving any power.

Usually I just tolerate the issue. When it happens, I'll swap the battery and it works fine, charges fine. Here are the things I've tried that don't seem to make a difference:

-Battery wipe

-Full battery conditioning

-Ensuring I'm plugged into a USB 2.0 port on the PC

-Swapping to the wall from USB

None of these things work. But it happens with any of my 3 batteries, and when I swap with whichever battery is charged, it fixes the problem.

A bit more storyline here, for record:

When I first got my phone, the battery went so fast, I contacted Sprint. Unfortunately there's no service center for about 120 mi from where I am, and I was too stupid to buy Best Buy's Black Tie when I bought the phone.

They said to go to the local dealer and see if they'd give me a new battery. The local dealer is run by a complete *****, and Best Buy looked at me like I was crazy.

I bought the phone in February, and I believe it's under a 1 year warranty, so perhaps Sprint would swap it for me. I would of course have to unroot my phone, which I'm fine with. But the litmus paper is slightly smudged, and I'm not sure what Sprint would say if they got the phone that way either.

Anyway...that's my story. If anyone has any input, I would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

EDIT:

Note that because of the spare charger, normally this isn't a real issue. But I fear things may get worse, and just in case, I'd rather fix this issue now than later. And being that tonight I left my charger and spare batteries at work, my battery officially depleted and I have no phone until tomorrow. And it's like having your crack-pipe taken away.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zionptm:
Hi, guys !

I have a problem with my HTC Touch Pro2 when connecting to wireless networks.

When I select the wireless network in Connection Manager it asks me for the password, I click NEXT then it says that the password is wrong.

I found that if I connect to the network by going to Advanced - Change Network and manually select the encryption of the network the phone connects ok !

I think is a problem with the phone not auto-detecting the encryption because on the second page of "Change Network" the default settings in the drop-down boxes are "Open" and "WEP".

Any ideas ? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drewcam888:
so why not manually change the encryption settings
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zionptm:
Because, by default, it automatically detects the wireless encryption method.

And, for example, if I am in a pub and the wifi is encrypted, I can ask for the password but (for sure) they will not know the encryption method !

Anyway, I found the solution !

In HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters there was a DWORD key DisableWPA with the value 1.

I set it to 0 (zero) and now it's back as it was ! :D
[General Questions and Answers] synth:
Hi,

I have some problems with mortscript ... until two days I need this script working.

I'd like to copy all files and folders from my internal storage (system-storage) to my memory-card.

I've huge problems to understand the manual, have some points missing in it.

Here I've just the up to now written script ... it should copy all folders but not the memory-card-folder (called: Speicherkarte) ... it would write all foldernames to a file called FL.txt on memory-card.

Local()
x = 0
ARRAYFOLDER = DirContents( "\*.*", DC_DIRS )

While x = 20
WriteFile("\Speicherkarte\FL.txt",ARRAYFOLDER[x] & " | ", TRUE, unicode)
If ARRAYFOLDER[x] <> "Speicherkarte"
MkDir( "\Speicherkarte\Backup\" & ARRAYFOLDER[x] )
XCopy( "\" & ARRAYFOLDER[x] & "\*.*","\Speicherkarte\Backup\" & ARRAYFOLDER[x], FALSE, TRUE )
Message( ARRAYFOLDER[x] , x )
EndIf
x = x + 1
EndWhile

Because of my broken device, I've no chance to use any input, the touchscreen is dead ... so i didn't get real feedback ... the message here is only symbolic ... don't know if i have to confirm it. Every test takes a lot of time, because of this i like to make it as shure as i can.

Biggest problem is the declaration of the variables ...

Could someone please help?

THNX a lot!

Best regards, synth

PS: Sorry for my bad english ... on writing german I'm much better. ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
Will they be able to put the drivers for the video camera etc into the ROMS now, or the hydra kernels? I remeber hearing that they needed the source to be able to do this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortbushemi:
new hydra kernels were released the day the source came out, everything works in them so far that I have found.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
Wait, so I can upgrad to Froyo, install Sky Raider and a custom overclocked kernel and still have video camera?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortbushemi:
if u so desire. yes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Froyo source does not contain ANY proprietary drivers.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortbushemi:
I think he meant kernel source...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrippel82:
froyo Source.

No... He ment froyo source code, not just the kernel. see the attached link Unless i completely read this wrong...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekanpwnsall:
i think...

i remember reading a while ago when we had like skyraider 1.9 that they needed the info from the 2.2 ota to make camera work. i dont think he knows that he needs the new radio. although i think you guys already stated it above. you just need the the new radio but now that unrevoked forever is out you dont need to unroot bro. there is a thread topic very easy good luck :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooksalot:
I think what it boils down to is the question "Will we be seeing some cool roms soon?":D:D:D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomclart:
Is it possible to restore just the wireless settings of an AP or all AP's from a full Titanium backup.

I've deleted one by mistake and it was a right pain setting up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
If you've done a full backup you should have an entry called "Wi-Fi Access Points" in the Backup/Restore tab. Clicking on it an on restore should restore them.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomclart:
Cheers... must of missed that when I looked through the backup.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn8f1st:
Hi guys/gals,

I'm going to root my Desire this weekend. I've had it for a couple of months and I want to try out different roms. But I keep having the same questions go through my head when I read the rooting guides and the flashing guides posted. I just really need to clarify a few things before I start to mess with the phone.

First, my desire was bought through VodaFone, so from what I can make out it's a Branded/Unlocked phone, correct? (meaning that the phone has a specific VF rom on it but it take sim cards from other carriers. I have not tested with another sim as of yet but form the VF forums it sounds like it's true)

So when I root the phone do I need a gold card or not?

Where can I get the generic 2.2 Desire rom from? (I'll get bashed for saying this but I like the sense UI)

OK whats all this talk about radio? is it just the FM radio (that I never use)?

I have been looking at using the modaco Custom rom, any good? I like the online kitchen thing...

Also I noticed that with CM6 there is Desire support (finally), can I still get CM6 with the sense UI? I just want to keep the phone how it is for now, once I get used to flashing it, then I'll try a more stock android ROM, but I have grown to like the Sense UI a lot recently.

Is there any thing else I need to know?

Oh, wavesecure.. Yay or Nay?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
First thing, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a not of the software version on the unit. If you're on a Vodafone handset it'll show x.xx.161.x, if you're lucky enough to be on a generic handset it'll show x.xx.405.x

If you're on a 161 handset you'll need to make a gold card to allow the phone to pass CID checks to flash a generic HTC ROM. If you wanna go custom then you'll need to root the phone following the instructions dotted around random forums
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiz_:
Hi,

I had the same. Unbranded phone from VF UK, the updated it with the branding... I rooted it and flashed Neo's custom ROM from this site and not looked back!

Here are the steps I took, but please do your own research...

1. Use unrevoked to root.

2. Get Titanium backed to backup your apps.

3. Get a ROM and Radios you want to Flash, copy it to your device. I used Neo's 1.7.1.

4. Boot into the recovery menu.

5. Do a Nandroid backup.

6. Wipe the various caches...

7. Flash the device.

8. Flash the Radios.

Was simple. Didn't need a gold card.

Search for a Vodafone thread in the Q&A is a week old. I think its call Vodafone update not Froyo. I've posted in there too. On page 2 or 3 someone has posted instructions which I carefully followed to the letter...

Good luck!

Hello,

I wonder if there exist a way to backup and restore my sms from my good ol' Diamand to my future android device ?

Some of them are precious to me...
[Android Apps and Games] k_o_t_s:
You can use this . It's free and does excellent job. I use that also. I am sure there will also be other solutions out there but you can try that if you want. With this you can transfer contacts, sms, call log or any of those
[Android Apps and Games] Leygion:
Thanks a lot !!

Seems easy to use, will try it !
[General Topics] kristovaher:
Ever since Froyo the one thing I have noticed is that my Friendstream and News widgets sync button in the bottom of the widget does not always work. At times it jumps to the left when clicked and quite often it finishes the job before everything is actually sync'ed. This is especially bad on Friendstream that sometimes requires three or more clicks on manual sync button in order to actually sync the feed.

Deleting accounts and removing widgets, then adding accounts and widgets again did not fix it.

I wasn't able to find threads about this, but if there is one already please let me know.
[General Topics] kristovaher:
It has only gotten worse, I've tried removing Facebook accounts and re-sync'ing them. Right now I have to do a LOT of sync now clicks in order to sync my contacts, because it only syncs about 3 to 5 contacts at a time, per click. And live feed is almost not synced at all.

No one else experiencing this? Perhaps it's related to newer version of Facebook app?
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
for those that can check on a rooted XT720, is the model using the /system/bin/mot_boot_mode binary still?

im just thinking if its possible to adapt my mods to the XT720 model too?

Please send PM with details if possible.. or maybe just send me a link to the firmware to download and ill check it..
[Milestone XT720 General] en0203:
yes, mot_boot_mode is still there in system/bin
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
thanks.. but you got no "vunerable recovery" like G.O.T or OpenRecovery option?

so if we are to change the /system partition, it has to be done "live" somehow?
[Milestone XT720 General] en0203:
sorry i am not sure how it can be done but yes, there is no vulnerable rom for xt720 yet
[Milestone XT720 General] pijes:
skrilax has released open recovery for xt701 here - modmymobile.com/forums/f545/xt701-open-recovery-1-15-06-18-2010-a-553227/

xt701 and xt720 basically the same thing isnt it?

As many of you know the new Voice Search lets you do a lot of new things but i think its needs to be tweaked a little bit more. Here are some of my suggestions feel free to add any you feel are important i will update.

1. Make it so it searches for songs from the main music app.

2.Make it so you can set whether its a long tap or short tap to start application.

3.Make it so it can call numbers from other programs. ex. Facebook

Thanks in advance

Link for the Info on The new Voice Search Features: Nvm cant post links yet just google "just-speak-it-introducing-voice-actions" it's the second link

Directions on how to install:

1. Remove Google Voice from your System using these Adb Commands

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

adb uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

adb shell rm /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk

adb uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch

2. Reboot go into market and download voice search and google search and install.

ONLY FOR FROYO(2.2)

Every time i try to download a file from one of the hosters mentioned above i only get a like 50-100kb file.. That REALLY sucks.. Any help? ):

Tried with 2.1, 2.2, different browsers..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mahagon Coral:
Got the same problem... Opera Mini sometimes gets the download right, but it is unable to use pages that have a countdown, as it doesn't refresh them most of the times...

Then I found out about DownDroid on google, but it just does nothing for me and tells me to go get a Premium Account on Rapidshare, although I am able to manually perform a free download (not waiting time) ... this prog also only works on megaupload and rapidshare, so no solution either...

Anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Piny12:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
Install astro file manager and in preferences tick the option to enable browser downloads. That should fix it for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RudigerIsNotMyName:
I'm able to download from rapidshare and other sites with the stock browser. JM5, rooted and lagfix. But try the Astro thing, it should work :)

Im trying to use Opera Mini because I have some network "restrictions". Opera Mini just jump it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PartyVirginX10:
Use opera mobile.

Install the app "Download all Files" from the market. It solved the same problem on my phone, it only have to be installed on your phone and nothing else.

Hi. Just for anyone thats a bit worried about flashing theirs...

Mine was a rooted 1.6 from o2.

put the update.pkg on the memory card start the phone with the vol+ & - held then power up. select the firmware update option.ing

Now at that point mine did some unexpected stuff....firstly it looked like it hung half way through but after about 2 mins it carried on. Then, after that another flashing type logo appeared...sat there for about a minute. Then the o2 logo flashed on and off about 3 or 4 times then sat there for a min with a black screen then it came up.

Thats what mine did anyway....i only say as at everytime mine paused hed i thought it was possibly bricked. Might help people when they upgrade so they know what to expect.
[Streak 5 Android Development] RedMist:
This has to be a beta.

... No built in widgets (email etc), poor wifi (no 'N' support), poor battery life and slow.

Absolutely a beta, not been optimized at all.

Some people restore a backup from 1.6

Very stupid idea. If people do that people don't have to wonder about disadvantages.
