[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Check that your 'Slot Cycle Index' is at 0. It's how frequently your phone 'checks in' to the tower to see if any calls or messages are coming to your number.

Pull up the Dialer and type in ##DATA# (DATA=3282 fyi)

Choose View Mode.

Then select Advanced.

Scroll down until you see Slot Cycle Index and it should show a number. I think the Hero's default is 2. If you take it down to 0, it will make your phone check-in to the tower much more frequently (like every second as opposed to every 4 seconds or something like that), which lessens your phone call lag a great deal. I changed this a few months back and haven't missed any calls due to phone lag since then.

You'll have to choose Edit mode to actually change that value, and you'll need your phone's MSL passcode from Sprint to do get into that.

If this isn't the problem then I'm not sure what to suggest.

After all this modding done to my phone, how come I've never seen seen this mentioned :eek:?? Anyway this sounds great! However, it sounds like battery life would suffer as a consequence...? What are your experiences with this tweak?

Edit: here's an easy way to get your MSL without calling sprint:

I haven't noticed any negative effects on my battery life in everyday use, still lasts me a full day with all the stuff I normally do on my phone.

It does drain your battery a bit faster if you're in an area with really weak or no signal, but that's all I've ever noticed.

There is already a hypnotoad app, so the wallpaper wouldn't be too hard I think.

Hi and sorry for my english,

Can we port the iphone monopoly on windows mobile HD2? because i saw on the internet this article of microsoft:

Porting the Amplitude Application from the iPhone to a Windows Mobile Device – a Case Study

Did any xdadevelopers have already port iphone apps on windows mobile?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Incanity:
not that i know of.

probably not.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sniper-wolf:
If you mean EA Games Monopoly Here & Now, it's already been done, had it on my phone for a while.

iv looked and read maybe i didnt look enough, but it seems i need to root my mytouch 3g in order to say... make it look like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644157?referrerid=922386 (hero mix theme) ?

Id love a cool new theme with out voiding my warranty =\
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Thanks for choosing my theme. :D

But to answer your question... no. You must have root.

An alternative would be to look for a home app substitute such as ADW Launcher, Open Home, DX Top, etc. You wouldn't have the black bar and additional effects but it'll give a a slightly different look with some extra options.

Good luck and we'll see you again when your warranty expires. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] tutsuo:
ooh yea, ur theme is pretty cool, i wont lie its reminds me of the evo. Thing is i got this phone and it still has warrenty on it for atleast another year and since iv never really had a touch screen phone nor a phone with such a screen id rather not crack the screen or mess up the track ball and be screwed, but its pretty temping. i have a T-Mo Dash(S260 / Excaliber) iv hacked. Thanks to Xda

Heres another question for you. I dont think ill brick my phone but if i were to root my phone and someting happens couldnt i just re-flash the orignal firmware and t-mobile would never know it was rooted ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Binary100100:
Yup. Just search for the Unrooting guide.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] tutsuo:
WOO now to root my device... what method would you recommend XD

i have a 32B

Edit/update : Phone magicly says system update(lame it went from 1.5 to 1.6 -.-")

[Vibrant General] DLarva:
First time smartphone owner and first experience with android, so forgive my basic questions.

1) Can one view the important operating system directories, like System, without rooting? If so, how? And can you get write access?

2) What is the difference between firmware and baseband? Can they be updated independently? Can they be updated without rooting?

3) What is the general term for software like TouchWiz? Can you replace it without rooting? What happens to is when you install a different type?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
to answer your first question, you can download an app called astro file manager from the market that will give you access to the directories you want, but i don't think you can have write access without root, but i could be wrong

second, not sure what the difference between firmware and baseband. pretty sure you need root to update the firmware though since there hasn't been an official release.

lastly, i think the term you're looking for is 'launcher'...you can download alternative launchers from the market. ADW launcher and Launcher Pro are probably the most popular. you can have them installed without actually replacing the Touchwiz launcher, but you won't have access to the Samsung widgets. you can also download an app called 'home switcher' to switch between the different launchers you have installed.

hope this helps. and, anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
Thanks for the reply.

I have Astro File Manager, but I can't see the System dir. Any idea what I might need to do?

Are Launcher and Home Switcher Synonymous?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Home Switcher is an app that lets you move from LauncherPro, ADW and TouchWiz more easily.
[Vibrant General] julez456:
You won't be able to see the System dir without rooting. You might as well root if you want access to the System dir. I've had the G1, the Nexus One, the MyTouch Slide, and now the Vibrant and this phone is by far the easiest to root so far AND its reversible just in case you need to un-root to send it in for repairs or warranty claim. You can learn how to root here in xda but here's a link with step-by-step instructions.

http://tinyurl.com/2arangz
[Vibrant General] DLarva:
Thanks for the replies, this is clearing up a lot of things in my head. I'll be sure to check out that link. I was hoping to hold of rooting until we got froyo, but I'm guessing that won't be for a while.
[Vibrant General] julez456:
I'm hearing Sept for froyo for us but if you root and keep the stock rom like I'm doing you should get the OTA update for froyo when they decide to send it out.

Just wanted to know if anyone has compiled the AOSP with Galaxy S kernel and put it on their phone?

By this I mean has someone built a ROM completely from scratch, no grabbing libraries, APKs, system data etc. from an official ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jodue:
not yet but there are many people (me included) who would like to see something like that! wesgarner (from the cyanogenmod team) has written on twitter that he will probably build a cm version for the galaxy s but that will take some time...

i have been playing around with the sources for some day's now and i am thinking about trying to build something myself. i have however to little experience to do it all by myself. it would be cool if we could start something here ... :)

can anyone help me out with this? its a lot of info for me, and i dont know what to do/ look at

i have read all the newbie and noob posts out there, so dont tell me to go read them

id like someone to tell me exactly what to download and how to run it to effectivly get android running on my device, dual boot if possible, id like to keep wm 6.5 but also have android. id also like to have a back up rom that is completly "stock" unless a hard reset will erase everything and put it back to "stock" incase i need to sell the device, or just go back.

im sure i am missing a few things, so any help would be greatly appreciated, i really need to get this done, because as of right now, i am not to happy with my device with just wm 6.5 and i cant afford to take a loss and sell it back...

i also may be wrong with some of my terminology, so what i understand is with dual booting i can run wm 6.5 just like i have now and use CHT and stuff, or i can run an android UI like the real android devices?

like i said, any help would be greatly appreciated, and i really need to get this accomplished,

thanks,

wow, you expect us to solve all your problems in 24 hours, on the weekend no less? How much do you think we are getting paid for this?

Glad you got it figured out. Next time, you could try posting in the regular hd2 section as well, seems to be more traffic there.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
So you're bothered by the fact we didn't give you the answers quick enough, to something that you obviously had the ability to work out on your own? That points to the fact you didn't do enough to help yourself, before posting your question...something the rules here specifically address.
[HD2 General] pbleonidus:
i did several hours of searching before i posted this, and after a lot of dead ends and frustration, i posted the question, but i continued to search after i posted, which led me to my answer.

and i dont think you guys get paid anything, i just would have expected at least one person to post something, helpfull or not, i just found it weird that no one said anything, not even "i am interested in this as well" or something like "good luck" that i see in other posts....
[HD2 General] ryan562:
There's nothing weird you just don't have enough patience to wait for replies. Anyways, good to see that you actually utilized the search function. There's a dedicated android on hd2 forum here on xda. You should have posted your question there.

[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
We dont. It was sarcasm. Hes saying hes not getting paid to help you, so dont get upset when you dont get an answer... This is the internet. Dont expect things from anyone. Just relax and wait. Sometimes, depending on the question, it can take days, weeks to get an answer. If you need people to hold your hand and wish you luck, try the Disney forum.
[HD2 General] pbleonidus:
haha, very funny, i know it was sarcasm, i just gave a serious answer...

i didnt expect anyone to hold my hand or give me an answer, i just would have thought some one would have something about something, like i said before, a lot of times people say good luck, or id be intersted in this too... i found it weird that no one said anything. i know you guys are mad because you couldnt understand my sarcasm, and that i was able to figure it out for myself. how come when i needed help no one said anything, but now that i have it figured out, you guys rant about me wanting everything handed to me, when thats not the case?

mods, please close thread, i got the problem fixed, and there is no need for this thread anymore...
[HD2 General] pbleonidus:
and i didnt mean anything negative by this, i wasnt mad at anyone, i was just trying to be a little funny by throwing some sarcasm in there...

i am terribly sorry that you guys have no sense of humor and couldnt understand that... i though forums where supposed to be friendly, and people were supposed to be able to say funny and or sarcastic things without somone jumping on their back...

once again, please close thread.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
it's all good in here man. We all just get a little bit of newbieitis where the only cure is to lash out at the newbs.

There is a lot to learn on this forum and by the time you learn it all, your device is out of date.

It seems you wanted to figure it all out in a night. Been using WinMo for about 2-3years now and I still don't have a clue most of the time.

:D
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
pbleonidus, if that comment was just tongue-in-cheek, then it's all good, no harm no foul. Those types of comments are near-impossible to tell the difference between light-hearted and just disrespectful....and believe me, we get FAR more of the latter type in here...and that does tend to strike a bit of a raw nerve with those here who go to a lot of effort to help others.

So, a lesson in this for all of us: you're apparently not the type of snarky jerk that we run across so often, and we're not always able to generate answers as quickly as you might expect. Cool? Cool.

I'll get this thread closed for you.

Hey everyone, does anyone know the solution to get the news widget to automatically update on froyo? I have to manually update it each time, and I have the automatic settings set for every hour too. Friendstream and weather updates are working fine too.
[Desire General] Tomaco:

same problem, but i doubt there is any solution...
[Desire General] aljwatson69:
Strangely, my news widget never automatically updated before I updated to 2.2 but since I've flashed one of the new 2.2 ROMs it's started updating as it should. I just assumed it was the same for everyone else? I was on a T-Mobile ROM for 2.1.
[Desire General] aindow:
I just made a thread about this with a solution. A factory reset is your friend.
[Desire General] al89nut:
That's a hell of a way to solve the problem though - reinstall all the apps, set up all the home screens again...
[Desire General] aindow:
Well I thought I'd just give it a go seeing as pretty much all my apps are showing in the market now anyway. I love the news widget when it worked, most probably the most commonly used thing on ky phone next to internet and picture messaging. :-)
[Desire General] sbdags:
It's easy. Just add to the auto sync settings.

Yeah clicking ActiveSync for it doesn't seem to respond. How can I save my apps and its data though , dere should b a market app for that though rite for factory reset ?
[Desire General] al89nut:
Except that when I go to Sync > Add Account and press News nothing happens.

Just to let you all know It's working fine for me now, over 24 hours since I did the reset.
