+1 on this. I just want to listen to my podcasts with bluetooth and use cardio trainer on my 15+ runs (hey I'm slow, they take awhile). I understand there are tradeoffs between newest rom's out there and the old reliables. I've been using collin tweak and that seems to help, but I'm also searching for other solutions.

We all use our phones in different ways. I'm not big on youtube, but I don't bash people that are having problems with it either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
I believe Gmail (set up on the computer) has the option to add an smtp server to handle your outgoing email, it can then be set to use that account for all outgoing emails or just ones in reply to that account.

I had it setup this way for my POP3/SMTP work email since email being pushed via Gmail is meant to use less battery than polling with the standard email client. Only problem is that Gmail's polling of your POP3 server varies depending on email load, so sometimes it can take a long time to get an email if you dont get many often.

I think I have 100% wake, my uptime is 23 hour! My battery has been terrible.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scott2020:
Same here. I am going to try maybe doing a manual sync or set it up to sync less frequently. Letting it sync real time will obviously eat more battery, but I also can't be tethered constantly to a power source to make it through the day as has been suggested already.

I'm very happy with the ROM features, speed, stability, and all of that. I just need to figure out the work email Exchange thing and find a balance that allows me to use this thing for business and pleasure.

Holy **** it's been a long ass time since my last post, but I have been away from this forum for a few months, (found a new fond time sink, vaping lol)

I come back and lookie what i find....didn't think it would happen! 2.2 for us poor sobs.

Thanks Darch!

I know this is unlikely to help you since the triathlon is only a week away, but I bought spare batteries on eBay. About $10 got me two batteries and a wall charger than can charge one while the phone is also being charged. So, maybe carry an extra battery with you and swap it out at some point along the way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kirby Baker:
I was hesitant to install this MOD but just did today, and its awesome! Did a full wipe on everything except battery stats, flashed it, flashed google apps and sprint vvm. So far everything seems to work. Havent had any crashes. sms send/receive are good, mms send/receive are also working flawlessly in handcent.

Oh, and one other thing... its FAST! :) Much smoother than my Fresh 2.3.3 install I was using.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pgreptom:
When I go into Running Services, only services showing are Google Services, K9 Mail, and Smart Keyboard Pro.

If I go into OS Monitor, under Watch log it shows

Please help me. This akmd is taking 3-35% of my CPU... and I can't figure out why. It's not listed under 'Running Services'
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
I've been having very good luck with it too, although Fresh was pretty smooth as well. I got a custom clock and date widget and changed the launcher to launcher pro and I don't really miss not having sense...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Yeah the inability to control polling frequency is another big reason I said IMAP may be better, I realized that the custom SMTP may be possible (wasn't sure about how/whether Android handled this) but it all just seems more roundabout with more potential points of failure.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
That's pretty awesome, is there a "direct" way to check awake time % on this ROM? (It used to be under Phone Status but not anymore).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Thanks, I did think about that but decided I don't want to deal with the extra trouble of swapping things out and risk taking a tumble on the bike :) Although we had several Android test phones @ my last job (my team wrote mobile apps) so I may get a former coworker to help me "borrow" one for a day.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Not familiar with OS Monitor, does that show the same info as adb logcat? If not you may want to check in there for clues...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barry.bishop72:
I think shapewriter is free and I can't tell the difference (I only used swype one time so that may not be accurate). It's worth a shot though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jakejm79:
I believe Android just follows whatever you have set in the web client of Gmail. Yes IMAP is probably way better, unfortunately that wasnt an option with me. Now I am back to POP3 regular polling (15mins) luckily the stock battery life on this warm is great so it is a viability.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
try removing beautiful widgets. It was causing me bad battery drain before
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Oh and BTW any of those apps that have auto-orientation may be polling the accelerometer so try going into each of those & turning that feature off to see if it helps. For example I know Handcent has that under Application Settings.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] typeadam:
Several posts say not to use a task killer w/ this ROM. However, is it OK to use it just to kill the apps that use my GPS and don't shut it off when they're done?

This is such a strange bug - if the GPS is idle it shuts off after about 15 mins, yet as I posted before, on other ROMs I had, exiting the program would shut the GPS off...

Anyway, so is a task killer OK to just kill those apps??

Thanks,

Ok, can someone please help me? (I've searched but haven't found answers.)

I made a post earlier about being able to set email inbox to show only the days new emails or a 3 day view. I am pulling in Yahoo mail and have the plus paid version set up. Now it keeps alerting me to 4 new emails that I have already marked read about 5 times. Is there some sort of glitch with the email program and using Yahoo and is there anything I can do about the view setting? Any help is appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] barry.bishop72:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tobiasly:
Have you tried MailDroid? Haven't tried it myself but the feature set looks impressive and the price is right...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] EonBlue725:
Thanks for the link! I will check it out. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LifeInTheGrey:
Just a heads up, you can use the stock email app with Yahoo Mail as an IMAP. Settings are ...

Incoming:

IMAP server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com

Port 993

SSL Security

Outgoing:

SMTP server: android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Port 465

SSL Security

Works for me, and it doesn't cost anything.

Anyone know why I cant add facebook as an account in Accounts and Sync ?

It shows up as an option but when I click on it it does nothing - everything else I'm trying to do is working great.

And on a side note, being new to this, could someone please tell me what 'nightly's' are ?

I have been using CM 6.0 with the updated kernel and I keep reading about nightly's - I flashed one with the black theme for this rom and all I noticed was that it turned my status bar white - so I couldnt read anything on it because I had set up my text to be white -

Listen Daryel... I have no idea who you think you are but you sound like a ****. You are not the king of the universe and you have no right to talk down to people like you are. I am a IT Engineer with over 15 years of experience and believe me, you are not impressing me a bit.

Here is some advice... If you are getting annoyed reading other peoples post asking for help, then dont read them. Take a deep breath, loggoff your computer and go harrass someone else. Life is too short to put up with angry little ****s like you.

Perhaps you need to think about other people's feelings before you berate them publically... By the way, how does it feel?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] roadster92:
Actually, Sprint VVM and Sprint Tv does work.

-Install the latest sprintcore.apk (same for sprint tv)

-Input your number in under settings

-Installed Handcent sms and delete aosp's mms.apk (under system/app) to get rid of the annoying voicemail text notification. Just make sure that you set handcent sms to retrieve your text automatically.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Playing devil's advocate here, but....

Though BJex was out of line to a degree in his approach, he raises a good point. There is no need for a FAQ, when there are numerous ways to obtain the most up to date info on Page 1 of this thread.

Need to find nightlies? (Click link).

Want to discuss progress? IRC (though many people would disagree, again just pointing out various mediums..)

And at the end of the day....yes, search. It may be a PITA to find the answer your're looking for, but if you were that dedicated to try the ABSOLUTELY NO COST TO YOU ROM in the first place, then it should be just as gratifying to spend 10 min tracking down an answer. From IT professionals to internet noobs, it isn't that hard to get what you're looking for. Period.

A FAQ is always welcomed, but historically has shown will never solve the problem of thread clutter. And it's unfortunate to see that this thread has been filled w/ pages of repetitive questions.

I seriously doubt (or hope) no one considers themselves holier than thou when addressing anyone on an internet forum, and remembers everyone was a "noob" @ some point. That said, hopefully we (meaning IT professionals, phone geeks, and net heads) don't completely forget how to use all available resources rather than relying on developers to spoon feed the basics on every ROM, Kernel, or mod.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kelsonelso:
in regards to the collin battery tweak, what should i set the polling interval to? thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
Best to leave it @ the default setting, but feel free to up it for testing purposes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kelsonelso:
will do. thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
I think your points largely point to exactly why a FAQ would be great. (Though obviously they won't stop all clutter.)

The problem with repeat questions with repeat answers is that it's information overload. There are many times I've searched and found too much information, much of it conflicting, little of it concrete. You don't know who to believe, (everyone's an expert on the internet) and you'd have to spend forever looking, because you search for the question, and the answer isn't for pages. You have a good sense that it's a problem with an answer, and it's very frustrating that you can't just find it in black and white.

Furthermore compiling a list of questions/complaints, with answers, or saying there is no answer, which is just as important, would be a good way to "give back" to the devs by lightening the load.

My Hero is currently running DarchLegend 2.1

That is the first rom I have ever flashed,and it does work great considering im a noob to all this as of a week ago.

so first off thanks to those that build this stuff as well as those who share knowledge :)

What id like to kno is if i want to start running this rom that is still being developed, do i go ahead and go with the most recent nightly?

and in doing so (correctly) do i use the factory wipe,or am i supposed to use the first nandroid backup i made before ever flashing DarchLegend (what i had stock was 1.5) and flash that backup instead of factory wipe?

Im ready to jump on board with this rom ,but want to be sure i do it as clean and neat as possible so any advice would be appreciated

;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:

Been flashing nightly since they started, never an issue.

8-21 build is trouble for me:

Market doesn't work right.

Maps fc.

Slow: Linpack & Quadrant, just everything slow.

Nand back to 8-20 and it's all good again.

Would post in IRC but now one has to register (shrug).

Did you do a complete wipe / install or did you go over 8-20?

I just did a complete wipe/flash of 8/21 and with the exception of Market (which is down for pretty much everyone) everything works. Camera is faster, maps works great (no FC) and it is snappy as hell, at least as fast (if not faster) than my 8/20 build.

I wouldn't say this rom is exactly "super fast " for me today I had an unexpected situation, someone got stuck on the highway, and I had to make a couple phone calls send out a couple texts etc quick and searching for someone through the search app takes hella long to load it takes forever for the phone call to cennect and disconnect keyboard was being laggy and I just overall felt like my phone wasn't as productive as it has before. Ill try reflashing (what is a nightly) lol and don't the uncappd kernels break GPS?
