[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njiwani:
I am already flashed with CM 6 RC2. What should i do?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houmles:
flash the latest nighly from there http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/passion/ or flash CM6 RC3 which was released yesterday

both of them have 720p already in
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njiwani:
When I re-flash will i lose everything?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njiwani:
I have flashed rc3 its the 720p in the camera application?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
720p is the default "High" setting
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:

i have a rooted htc hero cdma sprint phone.

firmware 1.5

build # 1.56.651.2 cl85027 release keys

software version 1.56.651.2

i rooted this by using this

what i want to do is go to 2.? software without losing root access.

i did not go to step 3 on that page,because all i wanted was to use the tether program.

what is a rom i should use,and how to use it, to still have root access and be able to go to the 2.? software?

thanks to anyone who responds
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
flash the .5 version of the rom(RUU) and then root again.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

thats how i did it with the newest update. after that you can flash nfinites .6 sw version to have the latest stock sw while retaining root.

i hope that that is clear...if you follows the guides on here, everything will go very smoothly
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankdank11:
ok

im lookinking for the .5 version of the rom,but i dont know what that is. i did go to the page and can follow the directions when i understand what that is
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Now that you're rooted, all you have to do is flash nfinitefx45's Stock de-odexed ROM -- it is the latest official 2.1 release from Sprint, with root access (super-user permissions), wifi tether, and Apps2SD support added. Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=703267 Follow all the directions there.

You can ignore the post above -- you don't have to run the 2.1 RUU in order to run a 2.1 ROM. I am running the ROM I listed and I'm still on the 1.5 root.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankdank11:
thanks

thank you i will try that now.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankdank11:
just a what if ?

what if i update to stock 2.1 with no update and then root from there? will that work? or will i be "barred" from doing that by some thing?i was just asking because reading about the rom you showed me there were some things that do not "work" correctly or just didnt work at all.i know that by reading all the coments.

just a what if

thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Yes, you can upgrade to the official 2.1 RUU using HTC Sync if you want. There is a way to root that version too but it's located in a different post in the Development forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankdank11:
thanks again

thanks again leaf

all i want is to have the most up to date or most powerful device i can have still with the root access,not to much to ask for seeing how i pay my bill every month.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankdank11:
Hey check it out I'm running 2.1,thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dankdank11:

HTC restart problems

Hi to all,

I bought a new HTC model A6288 G3 + Hero and I pressed the button "Return to factory settings" with both SIM and microSD removed. Window opens to restart Windows, then the indication is "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Phone." I clicked and pops with "align screen" after I used the stylus to align. Hence no longer happen.:mad: I can go one way or window. To turn off your Pocket PC must remove the battery.

In the Add / Remove Programs I have left only three programs, but to Explore My Windows Mobile-Based Device Windows folder there(with activesync help).

How can I solve this problem, if anybody knows? Thanks very much.:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
@dankdank11 -- Glad you got everything figured out!

@cj15pas -- I think you have posted in the wrong forum. This one here is for the Sprint-based Hero that is running Android, not Windows. You should go post your question in the Q&A of the other HTC Hero: G2 Touch forum here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=508
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykal3:
Hi all, when I first got my EVO I used to be able to watch the webcams at my doggy daycare with the stock browser, but since updating to 2.2 they no longer work saying that active x is not installed. Their webcam site is set up to work with active x on IE only so it was much to my surprise when it worked with the stock browser in 2.1. Anyone have any ideas why this happened or if there is anything I can download or do to fix so the site works with 2.2? Thanks for any insight. I have tried Dolphin with no luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
Unless I missed something over the past year it's impossible that ActiveX ever worked on your Android-based phone. ActiveX is proprietary and, to be honest, I don't know many people who are a fan of it let alone want it running on their devices. You sure your webcam isn't using a different technology, like Java for example, to pipe video over the net?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykal3:
The webcams from the site may have been working with the Java or Flash lite from the stock browser in 2.1. Active x is needed to download the add on RTSP MPEG4 SP Control from VIVOTEK INC. I never downloaded anything to have them work on the EVO in the past. I went to the website clicked the link and the cams came up to view. Since updating to 2.2 I have not been able to view the cams on the phone.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
In case you haven't heard, Contacts was updated:

http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/updates-to-contacts-and-slightly-new.html

Best feature I've been DYING to have for months: custom labels!!! My god, I always found it absolutely maddening to look at a contact in Gmail with four different numbers and not know which is which for lack of labeling tools. Finally, I can name phone numbers as "Google Voice" or "Skype" rather than have a whole mess of "mobile" "work" "mobile" "work" numbers and not know which one is which.

Funny bug, notice that if you select "Google Voice" as the drop down in Gmail, it actually comes out "grandcentral" in Android :eek: Someone forgot to update the name since that company is long since gone... :D

(And for some reason the fields selected from the default dropdowns in Gmail come out lowercase on Android like "mobile" rather than "Mobile".)

​

Anyway, I am VERY excited about this feature! One more step to Google/Android awesomeness! :cool:
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
??? I've been able to do custom labels since I bought my Nexus
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Not in Gmail :cool:
[Nexus One General] pmow:
That's great to hear! I guess I will see them soon once it works its way into GApps users. I have a gmail account for android market and google reader...but I draw the line at my contacts!
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Cool.. This is probably off topic a bit, but I have my outgoing calls automatically private (AT&T does it for me), so I manually put in *82 for some numbers..

Android tends to hide it, so I never know if I'm really sending my number (prefixing *82) or not. Actually I need to try something else, most other phones if I put in *82 AAA NNN-NNNN and that person calls me, it doesn't match the numbers so I have to put one with *82 and one without so CID shows that contact...

Okay this has nothing to do with the original topic... So...

Cool, I'll be glad to have some custom ones, as some folks have "Work cell" vs "Personal cell" or such. ;) Thanks for mentioning it, I'll be tweaking at least a few folks in there.
[Nexus One General] norazi:
they need to add the other fields that show up in the phone to the google contacts webapp (ie notes, birthday, etc)... birthday in particular needs to be better integrated to contacts and calendar in general so i can ween myself off facebook.

also would be nice to be able to list all my non organized contacts.. currently i can only list my organized contacts or "all contacts"
[Nexus One General] J.L.C.:
is this for the android contacts app or just the gmail web interface?

[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Just the Gmail Contacts interface, which if you don't see yet, will be rolled out to everybody over the next few days. But all the new data gets formatted and sync'd to phone (as opposed to having to edit hundreds of contacts via phone...)
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Hey look, and we still can't add birthdays on from the phone. Good work Google. Keep it up.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
The phone didn't magically change.... Therefore, no new features were added on the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] junooni.1980:
A malicious application that can steal cash via phones running Google's Android operating system has been found.

The program poses as a media player but once installed starts sending premium rate text messages.

The service being sent messages is operated by the malicious app's creator, who scoops up the fees.

Discovered by Kaspersky Labs, it is believed to be the first booby-trapped application for Android.

In a security advisory Kaspersky said that the virus - Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a - is being spread by text message. The message prompts users to install an application, 13KB in size, which purports to be a media player.

The virus was most prevalent among Russian Android users. The risk to Android owners worldwide is believed to be low.

'Trusted model'

In its advisory it said that the huge growth in the number of Android applications was likely to make the phones tempting targets for criminals.

"We can expect to see a corresponding rise in the amount of malware targeting that platform," said Denis Maslennikov, mobile research group manager at the firm.

Simeon Coney, spokesman for mobile security firm AdaptiveMobile said booby-trapped applications that run up big bills via premium rate numbers were very common on other platforms such as Symbian.

Symbian is the most popular smartphone operating system, commonly used on handsets built by Nokia and Sony Ericsson.

"There are a significant number of Java based mobile viruses that do exactly the same malicious activity of sending out premium rate (i.e. reverse charge) SMS," he said.

Like other mobile application stores, Google has a system in place that can revoke malicious applications and stop them running on handsets.

"Our application permissions model protects against this type of threat," said a spokesperson for Google.

"When installing an application, users see a screen that explains clearly what information and system resources the application has permission to access, such as a user's phone number or sending an SMS.

"Users must explicitly approve this access in order to continue with the installation, and they may uninstall applications at any time.

The spokesperson said the firm advises users to "only install apps they trust".

"In particular, users should exercise caution when installing applications outside of Android Market."

[XPERIA X10 General] GlennQ:
Interrrsting, are there any anti virus programs available for android?

Google's disclaimer is rediculous, most users have no idea what it means. Shameful handling by google.

Why nog set up an approval process on the market?
[XPERIA X10 General] rynoon:
Because that would be irritating. Head over to the Apple store and get yourself an iPhone if you want that sort of treatment.

Here's an idea. If you have a computer, think for a second before installing something you have absolutely no idea about. The #1 rule of computer safety: Don't install random crap.

People need to realize that software isn't magically safe just because you're using a phone. It's still a computer. Use a little common sense. This isn't that complicated.

So today I was out and it rained and my phone got a little wet :(.. wouldnt say it was a lot but the phone is not turning on :( doesnt charge.. but when i did try once it turned on the flash for sometime :(..

Update.. Idk why I have the battery out and the cover off.. for sometime now.. maybe half an hour or so.. and now.. if i put in the battery the flash comes on.. Waiting for some guidelines :).. and just for the heck of it I put the battery in again been like an hour.. and the flash didn't come on but I can hear a strange noise from the inside..
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Stop putting the battery in or plugging it in...whenver water gets in the case of a device like this you need to let it dry thoroughly before trying to put any juice through it at all.

It's often recommended to let the phone sit in a bowl of uncooked rice for at least a day to try to absorb any moisture before trying to turn it back on.
[HD2 General] sudeep62589:
Hmm.. K so I would try using a hair dryer or something first thing tomm morning to dry it out.. and then try to turn it on??
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I don't know how comfortable I'd be recommeding using a hair dryer, but I guess it might be worth a try. I'd be sure to use it on a very low setting, and point it only at the back and not the screen side...and from at least 6-8" away.
[HD2 General] sudeep62589:
hmm hopefully it will get sorted out :(

[HD2 General] juggamonkey:
Take the battery out.goto walmart and buy a product called damp aid. it is two bucks .empty the little white pellets into a ziploc bag .with your battery out place both the battery and the phone into the bag inside the pellets .squeez all the air out you can and seal the bag up.let it sit for atleast 24 hours .i fixed phones soaked in puddles like this let me know if this works
[HD2 General] Metastable:
That sounds like a great idea, I placed a soaked phone on a radiator and given it a day to dry up. It works and It's free, if you have radiators of course. Hoping for the best.
[HD2 General] sudeep62589:
Umm.. So today after I saw that it just won't work as in turn on etc.. I took it too a friend who is also a service agent guy and he opened the phone.. water has done a lot of damage.. we cleaned the phone with some agents, etc and then put it back together.. the phone did start.. but there was water in the display.. and then it turned off.. he told me to come again tomm to check out how to get the lcd back up again.. any thoughts guys?

Update : K, I think my phone is kinda dead for good now.. Because we were not able to get the lcd up now.. And I took it to HTC service center yesterday and they told me that the motherboard has a problem and needs to be replaced with the screen.. And quoted me round about 250-260$ :(. And then still they said it might not work for more then 2-3 months etc :(.. But I don't get it.. the phone charges.. it takes incoming calls u can talk to any1 u want.. the other person can listen to u.. if u view it from a quite disturbing angle u can see the screen.. So, do I need to get a new motherboard with LCD or just the LCD.. or should I try with another service center?

I can wait. Let Samsung get it right first.
[Captivate General] shep211:
Froyo will be out in sept for I9000. We then have to wait for At&t to update and release it. If a froyo kernel is leaked for the captivate we can use the I9000 froyo rom.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
That is what I was thinking. A lot of people think it takes a couple of minutes to crank out the new update to froyo for the Galaxy S phones. It takes time and a lot of coding and debugging to ensure maximum compatibility and stability with the new Froyo update. I prefer to wait and make sure the kinks get worked out.

At least we know they are working on updating to froyo since we have seen various I9000 froyo leaks, so now the best thing to do is wait and make due with what we have.
[Captivate General] slider2828:
I have to agree with the concesus here, this phone is already blazing fast and its going to take time to port froyo to operator specific phones. Motorola just needs to deal with verizon whereas Samsung is dealing with 8 carriers ALL with different hardware... Not something that is easy.

Best thing you can do turn off live wallpaper and install LauncherPro and call it a day. Increase battery life and speed... Done and Done!
[Captivate General] ConceptVBS:
Make that 110 carriers. However, the core functionality of all these phones are almost the same. I'd say (just a guesstimate) around 95% of the hardware are similar. The software side maybe more different as pre-loaded software have to be considered.
[Captivate General] KewlRobD:
OMG, Why don't we just go find the old threads for the blackjack and blackjack II WiMo upgrades. Do a little find and replace, paste the results here and stop wasting our time having this conversation again.

It will be realeased when it is released. Samsung is notorious for slow updates so we have to deal with it. After all we are all here on XDA which means almost every last one of use will flash a Froyo ROM long before the official update is released.
[Captivate General] ViniD:
I was at the mall yesterday went to ATTto ask if they new when update is coming out. He said GPS will be end of Aug and Froyo is coming Mid-Sept.
[Captivate General] KewlRobD:
And if you call ATT I bet they will give you some type of date. I will then gaurantee you that date will come and go with no update. This is par for the course when waiting for samsung OS updates on the ATT network. I think it was the blackjack I was waiting on. There were several dates, all confirmed by an ATT Rep. It took well over 6 months from the first date before we saw the update. So don't hold your breath.
