Dear,

I purchased an orange france HTC hero unlocked so I don't have unlock code, I want to upgrade to android 2.1.

I am afraid that the upgrade with official RUU will lock it again?

Thanks

I know this might be a really stupid question but what is a radio and why do i need to flash one when i need to flash a custom ROM?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PhilDsT:
http://villainrom.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Dictionary#Radio

Radio

The Radio on a Hero is the part of the phone that deals with mobile connections. It handles talking to the GSM/3G network, Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS. The radio contains software that controls how it operates, and newer versions of radio firmware are made available from time to time in #RUU updates. These updates are transparent to the user, although users who elect to install custom software can update their radio using an update.zip file made available by members of the modding community.

Flashing the radio is potentially risky, and you should NEVER pull the battery out of a phone that is #flashing the radio. If you do so, it is possible your phone will be bricked. Nevertheless, it can give improved battery life, signal strength and data performance, so is often done by users moving to later versions of ROMs.

Care should be taken to only #flash the correct type of radio to a phone. NEVER attempt to flash a CDMA phone with a GSM radio or vice-versa. It is likely you will brick the phone if you attempt to do so.

Samsung Moment 2.1 Bluetooth

I have a basic samsung moment with 2,1 and very satified except my voice activation for bluetooth. I understand the moment will not get 2,2 froyo which would solve my problem.

Me being a nubee and dummie, and just learning, is there a basic way to get this portion of 2,2 into my phone? Or do I have to do a full root etc, Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geon106:
I'm half way through my 2nd day using Android on my HD2 and this thread is for me to say what issues i've found. Not to complain, just because most of them may have fixes or other people may have the same issues. These ROMS haven't long been out and i'm sure the developers here will fix many issues.

ROM: NRGZ28 Energy ROM

Radio: .12

Android Build: Desire v5

Battery Life:

Compared with WinMo, Android appears to be less optomised on battery. I put the phone on a full charge at 7pm last night, at this time(10:25am) with very little use, 1 3 minute call and a quick check on Facebook) the battery only has 50% left just over

Unresponsive Screen:

Occasionally the screen will stop responding, however pressing a hardware button usually clears the problem up

Photo Uploading:

I took 2 photos yesturday and went to upload them to Facebook, however the progress bar stays at 0% on the notification bar and no way to remove it

No Mic/Audio:

I've made another thread for this and I found the problem, with my Windows Mobile ROM it doesn't automatically load CLRAD.EXE before HaRAT.EXE, so when starting up the phone, i have to take out SD Card, use File Explorer to start CLRAD.exe, put SD Card in then launch HaRAT.exe

I've heard changing to the Titanium WinMo ROM fixes many issues compared to Energy so I may try that tonight
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bimme:
your rom should be fine to run android.

desire v5 is not the best choice, cause its one of the first builds.

you should take an new build before doing anything else...

if you like sense, give mattc 1.6 a try. if you not like sense take a look at darkstones newest froyostone.

there have been many many kernel updates since desire v5 was released. you will notice a huge difference in speed and response...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geon106:
Thanks for the tip, I may try Mattc 1.6, is that 1.6 the version of the ROM or is it Android 1.6?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
Actually wait a bit on mattc 1.6. It currently has issues. mattc 1.5b is my fulltime build right now. I haven't used WinMo in 2 weeks. As a matter of fact, I'm going to load on a light version of WinMo, like Chucky's. Why have a bloated WinMo when you're not using it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
I said to you to upgrade as desire is an older build. In regards of clfcad it should be on your SD card in the android folder along with haret so why is it stored elsewhere? Plus you always have to click clrcad before running haret unless you use an android launcher like mskips which does this automatically.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
So OP other than your experiences with highly known problems. What was your experince with android overall.

Did you like it? Did you use it to is full potential? Did you try out the new voice search? What did you think of qik? or any other note worthy apps?

I know you are probably already aware but I just wanted to say

these things.

The battery life improves with use of setcpu. Considering the phone was never designed to run android I am ok with it.

Unresponsive screen is solved right now by disabling screen rotation.

there is also a slight delay built in I believe.

Uploads were a big problem untill the recent ppp fix.

You shouldnt ever have a problem with sound running aslong

as clrad.exe is being properly ran.

I wanted to address these because I believe android on the hd2 needs a fair chance. If we dont take into account these minor flaws we wont see the greatness.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geon106:
Those files are in the Android folder on the SD card, but I thought the WinMo ROM as it has a button built in to launch Android would be scripted to run CLFCAD.exe and HaRAT.exe automatically, wrongly assumed on my part though.

hmm, mskips you say? May give that a go.

Yeah i've been told by a few people to upgrade the Android rom i have, the reason I started with this one is because i figured the HTC Desire is a similar phone to HD2. I'll try in a bit a new WinMo ROM and Android ROM but with the same radio
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geon106:
Don't get me wrong this isn't me complaining about it. I knew there would be "niggling" issues of course.

Well personally, I love it. I want to use it as my main OS. It is suprisingly stable, it looks good, it runs reasonably well(i.e above issues). I love the Android Marketplace, i've given Layar a go(which runs well and is fun) i enjoy Latitude and using it with Google Buzz.

I am hugely grateful for the work people are putting into these ROMs, its fantastic and as they get improved and issues get fixed well, I can imagine great things :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
sorry I didnt mean to imply anything. I just wanted to see what you enjoyed. I am glad to see you are enjoying it.

I knew these guys were smart so i bought it even before I knew about the project.

Dreams really do come true lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geon106:
I agree, I will be keeping a close eye on the ROMs and as they get improved more and more, our experiences with Android will only get better. Right now i'm experimenting with different builds to see which one suites me best
[Touch2 General] cheeseycase:
Hey, just wondering is there any possibility on how to get .apk files to work on the HTC Touch 2.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch2 General] duchu:
if our xda devs port Android to mega it will be possible :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myn1:
I always have to slide to unlock and then enter the PIN to further unlock.. is it considered normal? :confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisnielsen:
+1

it's a bit of a hassle using both, I would prefer just the PIN lock
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
+1

Tenchar
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SS2006:
+100

want just PIN
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karolis:
I wish some dev read this and coded it into ROMs. Sliding to unlock + entering PIN is simply waste of time. But if you disable lock screen, it disables everything :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laslow:
I'm on the latest CM6.1 nightly, and I use a combination of "Menu Unlock" and "Quick Unlock".

"Menu Unlock" lets me press the Menu button in lieu of sliding to unlock, and "Quick Unlock" makes it so that as soon as you finish typing your PIN (correctly) your phone unlocks, rather than needing to take the extra second to press "OK".

I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but it's probably as close as you're going to get right now.

Edit: Of course, if you use Pattern Unlock it skips the Slide to Unlock screen altogether.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
You can also use no lock to bypass the lockscreen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Yeah, I use no lock and leave the phone unlocked most of the time. Turn it to lock and then I get the use of the pin. Another not an answer answer but its how I'm working it for now. I would like an app that allowed me to use pin unlock, skipped the slide, and had a timer so the phone would stay unlocked for a set amount of time after unlocking it and then go to the pinlock when the time window ended.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laslow:
FYI, the CM6.1 nightly builds (possibly even 6.0, can't remember) have an option in the CyanogenMod settings for "Screen timeout delay" and "Screen turned off delay" - with those, you can specific a time limit, up to 30 minutes, that the phone will wait before requiring the lock screen to come up.

That would at least satisfy the timer portion of your last post.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Yep, been there, cant quite make it through the day on cm though, running enom now. While some report (much) better battery life on enom I find that it is better but only enough so that I can just make it through the day whereas I dont quite on cm. Always checking back from time to time.
[HD2 General] ledese:
hello everyone

i've been using peep for a long time, and i always had problems but i could find the solution on the internet especially on xda.

but this time i couldnt.

i updated twitter lastnight everything was okay, but today when i updated, the home screen popped up saying "Launching HTC Sense..." and of course when i looked back at peep there were still last nights tweets and no new ones!

i tried everything, i restarted. i restarted sense. soft reset.

and i dont wanna hard reset!! now tell me is there anything else i can do?

i really like Peep despite of its problems, and i wanna keep using it!!!
[HD2 General] SilverRook:
yup i'm having the same issue - just tried it on mine to test what you said about it

as soon as i update my twitter it reboots sense.

i'm disabling twitter for now to see if it has any effect, also contacting htc support as htc peep is their app
[HD2 General] SublimeAnarky:
same trouble here - when i disable twitter sense works fine.. anyone else seeing this ?

my symptoms were very different though.. sense doesnt re-load - it just freezes me out about 10 minutes after every soft reset.. once i disabled auto-retrive on peep, it worked smooth enough, but the moment i tried retrieving tweets after last night - it froze up again.. now i've tried deleting the twitter cache in my temp file - but i dont think thats helped..

any ideas ?
[HD2 General] markymunkeypants:
I've had my UK o2 HD2 since Nov last year and have had no problems with Peep until today, but now it just relaunches Sense everytime it tries to update (which I've set to every 15mins) - I presume many others are having the same problem, so hope a fix or solution is provided soon!

:-(
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Same problem here, when I want to update Peep, it crashes manila.exe.

So far I know it's because Twitter made a change in their security system.

It makes a lot of users and developers confusing right now.

I hope this will be fixed soon!
[HD2 General] GauBan:
I am having the same issue. I've had my phone since start of year. No issues (like this). Running latest offical O2 rom from HTC site.

Whenever I try to update twitter HTC Sense crashes and restarts. I originally was worried that it was caused by the update to fix the calaender (which I had just installed before checking my twitter at around 5pm GMT). But seeing that you are all having issues I digged a little deeper.

This is what seems to be true

The problem only appears to be when checking "All Tweets" (Which is the main screen) and not when checking "Mentions", "Direct Messages" or "Favorites". I can even update Twitter but it crashes when trying to retrieve the messages again.

So the problem is that a server (either Peeps or Twitter) is not working right. Our Peep clients can access the server but are causing a failed responce. This is causing Peep to crash and take Sense with it (As the apps are closely linked). I guess we need to sit tight and wait for either an update for HTC (If the way PEEP works is chanigng) or for the server to be fixed.
[HD2 General] SilverRook:
any ideas anyone HTC dont seem to know

i've copied them a link to this thread too

on a side note i'm also getting "Windows Live Hotmail is temporarily unavailable. Please try again." since this has been happening with peep
[HD2 General] GauBan:
Well the issues seems to have gone away now. Just checked again and it's all working.

Guessing the above post about Twitter security update/issues may have been true and the people who run Peep needed to make changes.
[HD2 General] ThaSySman:
Still same problem here!...

Someone discovered any solution...?
[HD2 General] SilverRook:
still have this issue - am trying few diff things

have just

logged out of my account on peep

disabled twitter tab in home tabs options

then delete the device/temp/twiteng folder and

rebooted phone

revoked access for htc peep from twitter connections via web

re enabled twitter in the home tabs

and logged in to twitter again

HTC Peep by HTC Corp.

HTC Peep
Revoke Access · approved on 6:55 PM today · read and write access

Dowloading tweets......

CRASH sense.....

anyone else got any ideas ?
[HD2 General] ThaSySman:
MoTweets & PocketTwit is working.. seems like a silent update from HTC Peep/HTC Manilla/Twitter which is wrong..

Looks like the connection to Twitter is working well.. at least, from my GF her Desire Peep is working..
[HD2 General] GauBan:
Well mine is still working. What you might want to do is try the following

1) Sroll to Settings then pick Data Services.

2) Turn off twitter.

3) Go back to the Settings HTC Sense tab and click Menu at the bottom and All Settings.

4) Click the Today icon and then go to items. Turning off HTC Sense.

5) Load file explorer click "Menu" and turn on "Show All Files". If you haven't already.

6) Delete the TwittEng folder from c:\Temp.

7) Delete the Twitter folder from c:\Application Data\HTC.

8) Reboot device.

9) Turn HTC Sense back on via Start > Settings > Today etc.

10) Reconnect to Twitter using the log on via the Twitter HTC Sense tab (I did this via a wi-fi connection instead of the mobile network shouldn't make any difference but hey)

11) Then rechecked via mobile connection.

After this I've rebooted the phone and Peep is still working over Wi-Fi and GSM/HSDPA
[HD2 General] SilverRook:
have already tried that check my previous post and mine isn't working :(
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Sadly that didn't worked, but thanks for giving us this option to try :)
[HD2 General] GauBan:
To be honest I think what I did was just at the point an issue somewhere else was being resolved may on the server my account is on.

I'm guessing that the issue has been solved but the fix is having to work it's way through the servers/accounts. All I can say is hold on and wait it should be good by tomorrow.
[HD2 General] joshoon:
I'm able to sign in, no problems, but I just cannot download my tweets.

I even can post tweets just as normal! but it crashes after posting is done.
[HD2 General] siddharthdeb:
Same issue here, Manila.exe instantly crashes when you update twitter.... Hope this gets resolved soon:mad:
[HD2 General] GauBan:
Reading your post you didn't delete the Twitter folder in Application Data/HTC*

I found that when I first deleted it before clearing out the rest of the stuff when I was downloading the tweets that it would download just one of the user images again. There was also in the folder /Application Data/HTC/Twitter/TempPhoto was some sort of crap/corrupted image.

It might be worth just checking those. Like I said before I dod those steps and it works again. However is the problem is server based then it won't mean crap.

* Sorry got you mixed up with SilverRook. But again just check to make sure.
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Solution for me: Log in to Twitter with Opera Mobile (twitter.com), and log out again. then Peep worked fine again.
[HD2 General] SilverRook:
yup just tried removing the htc/twitter folder and it still does the same.... must be a server side bug then :( oh well i'm sure i can do without twitter until its fixed lmfao.
[HD2 General] salman22:
Facing the same issue...I even reset to factory settings thinking it might be something I did...Hope they fix it soon :(
[HD2 General] tech0815:
Seems to be a problem with twitter server:

http://status.twitter.com/post/1004400550/a-known-api-issue-is-causing-some-clients-to-crash

"A known API issue is causing some clients to crash

1 hour ago

There is an issue with the API that is causing some clients to crash. A fix is being deployed now"
[HD2 General] ledese:
why thanks everyone for trying, i am impressed this was my first thread!

anyways i tried a hard reset too, cause i was devastated by twitterlessness and the result:

no change at all.

so noone hard reset their phones!!
[HD2 General] joshoon:
Well, I got it fixed.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
TOO LATE :( GRRRR DAMN YOU TWEETER!!!

Oh well was due for a spring clean anyway.........
[HD2 General] salman22:
They fixed it :) Everything back to normal
[HD2 General] scotia_rfc:
I'm still having issue here! Have turned off twitter for now
[HD2 General] Fabian1985:
I've got also the famous manila.exe crash. I even got back to my orriginal branded vodafone rom but it didn't does the trick.

We jusg have to sit tight and use the desktkp for our tweets.
[HD2 General] sabena03:
Same thing here: no problems with Peep in my HD2 since I got it last December until a few hours ago. Click update and the message "error in manila.exe" shows up or Manila is restarted. Twitter says the issue has been solved, though.

Greetings
[HD2 General] Adr3naL1N:
too late as well!! :( its crashing for me still wen i update

i also think im having a general problem with sense as well, its just freezing on its own??? rest of phone still works i.e the menu i can still use??
[HD2 General] Adr3naL1N:
edit:

ok i think its working again, i noticed tweets had been downloaded when a slid across to twitter, was blank before when i tried to update and it reset.

i think we just have to wait it out.
[HD2 General] tech0815:
Damn, still not working for me :-(
[HD2 General] guysu:
Still not working for me either!!!

Once i initiate an update, it freezes.
[HD2 General] dardarlt:
Still not workin

Phone freezes for me too.

I've tried all fixes here: this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7823522&postcount=12 and this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7824747&postcount=19

They don't work

I didn't try, but Hard reset does not help too :)

But it works, if I update twitter not from All messages, but from Mentions or Favorites, as stated here before.
[HD2 General] Maarten_0031:
I had the same thing yesterday and what did the trick for me was setting my update rate from 5mins/120 tweets to 15mins/50 tweets. Seems to use less memory or something. After I did that my problems were gone.
[HD2 General] Aphoenix:
i have the same problem :(

when i refresh twitter, htc sense restart

how can i solve this problem.
[HD2 General] ThaSySman:
I got still the same problem too.. Yesterday it quit working around 17:00 GMT+1 and now (9:30 GMT+1) it is still not working,

Which i tried:

- SoftReset

- Disable Twitter, remove Temp Dir, enable Twitter

- Changed Update interval

- Log out and on

- Log on to the website, by Opera, log out

So, Whats next... :p
[HD2 General] PedrooNL:
Same here. Problem persists.

Somebody more info?
[HD2 General] sabena03:
...still not working, still not working, still not working...

MoTweets does work, though; my account updates flawlessly. So it may not be a problem with Twitter after all :confused:
[HD2 General] matt_zipfel:
Not working for me either

Must be a twitter/sense API issue, as going into twitter, it's still working from a pc. Wondering whether it's some cunning ploy to start us using the new android twitter app???
[HD2 General] Queazer:
Might be something to do with twitter removing basic authorisation from its api (the OAuthaclypse). If so, this won't be resolved without an update to the HTC Peep code.
[HD2 General] matt_zipfel:
Just downloaded the NEW Twitter app for Android

And now have a new widget called Twitter for HTC Sense - fixed my problems...I didn't use peep for facebook anyway.
[HD2 General] PedrooNL:
I did just now a reflash (after task29) and everything is fine again.
[HD2 General] ledese:
i lost 2 days worth of tweets, damn.

so i think its nothing we can solve, we have to wait till twitter or htc finds something out
[HD2 General] izzwanemir:
oh mann. it's still not working. i can't log in. it says incorrect username or password :(
[HD2 General] erwinthb:
I had the same problem here since yesterday. After calling the supportdesk of HTC I upgraded my rom to the version of 02-02-2010. (it is the same version as on my device).

But it worked for me!!!
[HD2 General] Mark Twain:
I'm still facing the issue and sense doesn't simply restart, it toally locks up so that I have to perform a soft reset every time. Gonna disable twitter now...

Maybe the errors occur depending on the location of the client?
[HD2 General] stevep:
Peep now working

Hi All. I seem to have got Peep working again. I too was experiencing Sense lock-ups and then the inability to log-in.

Try logging into Twitter using Opera on your HD2 and then immediately logging out. Exit Opera and then try logging out and then into Peep again. For some unknown reason, this seemed to do the trick and Peep is now up and running.

Not sure if that's a coincidence, but I had tried everything else!

Now can someone who's more techy than me, tell me WHY it solved the problem. In my small brain, there's no connection between Opera and Peep!
[HD2 General] Aphoenix:
still not working :(
[HD2 General] markymunkeypants:
I logged out of Twitter on both my desktop and laptop computers, then logged into Twitter using Opera Mobile 10 on my HD2 for the 1st time and logged out as suggested above... but when I reactivate Peep/Twitter on my HD2 Sense still crashes as it has done for the last 36hrs.

:-(
[HD2 General] Smailtronic:
Glad to find this thread, I was starting to go a little crazy yesterday. I've been using TouchTwit, but still kept Peep downloading messages so that its vibrate notifications would alert me when a message came through. Stinks to lose that functionality, but hopefully the issue is addressed sooner, rather than later.
[HD2 General] grumpylad:
All sorted here now

Same problems as described elsewhere after disabling tweets yesterday today all is fine apart from having reload all tweets again
[HD2 General] sabena03:
Finally working again

It looks like I fixed it. I switched off Sense and then deleted Twitter's account database (Explorer/temp/TwitEng/Db/"Youraccount"). Then switched Sense back on and updated Peep. Worked like a charm!

Good luck, everybody :)
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
I turned mine back on a few hours ago and all seems fine now....
