try apps before you buy

what are some good apps for 2.2 that wouldnt work on 1.6 i have phone rooted with universal androot installed apps are titanium backup,root explorer,quick app cache cleaner,better keyboard,adw ex launcher,andguard,astro file browser,beautiful widgets,dropbox,memory up pro. i have found a place to get apps and install from sd card for anyone that wants to try the apps and make sure they work or are what you want before purchasing them and installing them,just go here http://www.4shared.com/ and use search for apps for android apps you want to try. i then get them from market and pay for them if they work and are what i want. saves me from getting something that doesnt work,and then trying to get a refund from market. ok hope this helps everyone. tommy:p

you can put it in bootloader mode and it will upgrade it to 2.2.1 because the phone goes into bootloader mode to install this update and well it works 2.2.1 is here and i have used it thank you all

Saving Face

Cricket is trying to save face by saying the update leaked out is for the Sprint Zio and not Cricket. Funny because it replace all the Cricket apps that I remmoved a few months back.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Thats so funny! lol

Cricket reps are so friggin clueless... Thank the gods I can do 99% of billing/editing/etc... from the website, because their whole operation (asides from the actual service itself and price) kinda sucks. o.0

Accelerometer

My Accelerometers are all shaky now. Makes using google sky impossible. Has anyone else checked to see if it is the update or just my phone. I use the bubble level app and the bubble jumps around with the phone still. I hope it is just a bug.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
accelerometers fine for me.

If this is the leaked version are we gonna get one that supports flash player and multi-touch!!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] kf4omc:
THe Zio Hardware cant support Flash.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
Helllllsssss yea! The update is pretty bad ass!

Also Z4root works as well as universal androot to root the device. After the update I tried using universal androot and it kept giving me some weird error. So I just used z4root.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] kf4omc:
Universal Androot work just fine for me. Funny how it works on some phones but not others.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
It also could have been the version of androot that I had. That is weird. It worked fine on 1.6
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hastingb:
I performed the update from my Windows 7 (64bit) laptop without any issues. Not sure of what to tell you other than make sure that there are no other apps running. I had my Zio set up to automatically mount and run isyncr when the USB cable was plugged in. Once I killed the app and tried the install, all went well. Have a look in your system tray and make sure there are no apps running from the sd disk...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hastingb:
Yep. Just tried it and connected in as usual. I had re-rooted my phone after the update. Barnacle came up and requested super user rights. No problems.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] TakashiMoto:

[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
Update worked for me (W7 Ultimatex64)

It was easy breezy. I did NOT use the drivers that were included in the download file. I believe I downloaded the drivers on my computer from the Zio webpage or from the CD. In any case, no issues. At 0%, the computer started searching for a driver for "M6000". It found it on my computer and after it installed it, the update went straight through. Clicked finish, fired up my phone, took about 5 minutes before the home screen popped up. 10 minutes of total time from start to finish after the download.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hastingb:
Yeah the only app that doesn't seem to work is MyBackup. No big deal.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
Hrmmm barnecle keeps erroring out on me maybe I should completly un install it and reinstall instead of restoring it from a backup?????

Trying to find a free program that can uninstal defualt apps on my Zio

Hey all, can anyone help me get the app needed and explain to me where and how I can get rid of the stinking default apps like midnight bowling and Uno? As shameful as I feel for this I can't affored the lousy $4.04 to buy the app everyone is using to do this so i'm stuck trying to find a free app that will work just the same. Once I find it then I need to find out how to get it done so i can get rid of the lousy bloatware that comes with this phone. Cricket and the phone makers are total assholes for putting crap on the phone like that and not giving us the option of being able to uninstalling it without the headache of having to search for the way. IT SUCKS!:mad::mad:

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] kf4omc:
Well did a factory reset and it still does it. I guess my Accelerometers are going bad. I dont live near a Cricket store (over 500 miles away) Still under Warranty. I guess I could send it to Kyocera but I would be with out a phone then. HMMMM. Dont know what to do.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I know this is off topic, but I can't help but wonder how all those people that dumped the Zio for the Ascend just to get 2.1 are doing now.

As for me, after the upgrade, no major issues yet and some small ones that I worked out in just a few minutes of reinstalling certain apps and adjusting phone settings. Took me maybe 20 minutes to get everything just right for me. Makes me glad I stuck around with the Zio instead of getting impatient and going with an inferior phone just to temporarily have newer software.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] killa619:
where do you download the upgrade from???
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
You need to download android mate from market, allow super user permission when opening. Go to file explorer. Hit the back button a few times then choose the folder labeled data, then the FLEX folder, then the app folder. The bloatware apps will be in that folder and you can delete them from there. To be clear, their location will be data/FLEX/app

Since the update, when i receive a phone call from any of my contacts it does not show their names, only the number. and since I don't know anyones number it makes it impossible to screen calls like when my boss calls and i don't want to answer. Anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Hello ZIO owners and developers. I bought the ZIO when it came out and thought that it was a decent phone for my first Android phone. Well I eventuall broke and wanted to root it and do more with it. I downloaded the universal androot and that worked great for 1.6, I then installed ROM Manager and picked a device that was not compatible. My phone rebooted and then I got an endless cycle of the Kyocera logo. I was able to get the phone to load android one last time so I thought I would do a factory reset, that was the last time my phone worked until I decided to do a search on the web for the update and cheked the forums here, I was in my Cisco class and immediately e-mailed myself the exact address to the page and left class a half an hour early and walked home as fast as I could. I downloaded the updater and the drivers and read the forums of others success stories. It was about 12:30AM 2/23/11 when I finished the entire download since my roomates were playing on Xbox Live and Playstation Network. I installed the drivers provided with the update that I found on the forums here, I am running Windows Vista 32bit and I only had a problem with the updater when I tried to extract the files to the desktop. I found it worked best just running the updater from the zip file. I didn't have any problems with it hanging at 98% like some others reported, Updated within 5 minutes. Atlast my phone has a Kyocera boot screen again after I power it on, then CricKet, and Android. "This has to be the CricKet update" I thought to myself when I saw that the phone looked similar to when I first bought it and it wanted to sign into gmail to the first time. I skipped that step and connected to my WiFi. The phone connected to my Lynksys N router using WPA2. I guess I will wait to see what is up with the whole 3G thing everyone seems to be concerned about but so far I have a great phone once again. And I am currently experimenting with the phone. I've already messed something up and filled the memory on the phone and couldn't find it anywhere and decided to factory reset the phone because I only had about 32mb free on the phone itself even with all apps on the sd card. I was downloading a zip file and the download stopped in the middle of the night so it was in limbo somewhere. Even after that screw up after resetting the phone it was back to normal. I will see what I can do about contributing to the development of the phone, I am not as experienced as most on the forum but I want to learn as much about android as possible to be able to create custom roms.

Maybe we can take the updater file that we used to update, break it down somehow, put in our own rom and put the updater back together? Just a thought.

Kyocera ZIO 2.2.1 Froyo!

Rooted with z4root

Root Explorer

Uninstaller for Root

No Bloatware
[Kyocera Zio M6000] mazrim71:
Thanks alot for the tip to clear the data. I was wondering what was interfearing with the OTA. I was about to do it manually.

Thanks for the Corp Crap Ryan. I'm sure we all knew this already no thanks to CricKet.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] entr0py24:
Official 2.2 update is bricktastic!

After trying to install the 3rd of the update packages, my phone will do nothing except alternate between a black screen and the kyocera logo. It never boots to the desktop no matter how long it's given.

I really don't want to have to take this to a store, I've had too many bad experiences with the local full service center. I'm afraid they won't be able to fix it, and will try to insist on replacing it with an Ascend.

Is there any other way to restore it? Perhaps some sort of PC utility?

I have seen this problem too.

You just have to clear the data for the updater in the app manager then try again. You will have to clear the data every couple of times you check for updates.

cricket upgrade!

i just got off the phone with cricket and they said that tomorrow they will launch android 2.1 for the zio and with in a week you will be able to take it in to a store for an upgrade to 2.1 finally!!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
That's excellent news. We won't be able to do the update ourselves, or is that just an option for people who don't feel comfortable doing it themselves?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rat_fink1950:
zio update

That is from cricket themselves, they said they will send out a mass text saying they have updated the software and to bring your phone in and they will update it for you and from what i understand even if you have super user prevledge it will work, so if you feel like waiting for for someone to rom it wait, or if you feel like going in and getting it rommed its your decision, i for sure am going to get them to update it so i am not going through the trouble of romming it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
So there will be no OTA upgrade?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rat_fink1950:
im sorry im new to droid what does ota mean?

Over-the-air meaning upgrading it yourself without having to go to a Cricket store.

zio 2.1

im sure there will be a way of doing it your self but why when they will do it for you, i mean all we want is 2.1 and they are going to give it to us.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] muttd:
maybe...maybe not

There may be an update may not. Not until they record sales with the new Huwaei Ascend which I may trade in my Zio for. 9 customizable screens with 2.1 129$ count me in. Using the moto droid btw and works well but always itching to collect more devices. The newest phone will sell a lot and fast. Yeaaa boiii
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rat_fink1950:
zio 2.1

it just looks alot cheaper to me, and doesn't it have a smaller Processor? i don't know i want to see how the zio does with 2.1 but i'll probably end up going out and getting it for the hell of it and get a case for it.

Tried that this morning -- force stop, killed the updater via task killer, cleared cache -- reinitialized wifi and tried again.

Nothing...

Pretty frustrating.

Strange thing is, that this function at one time worked. o.0

**edit: Im going to unroot the phone, kill and clear the cache, clear my wifi settings and reinitialize everything -- see if that works. I'll repost with findings.

Lower screen resolution: 320X480

Less RAM: 256Mb

Slower processor: Qualcomm MSM722 @ 528 MHz (although some sites incorrectly list it @ 600 MHz)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Although it is labeled as something different, I _believe_ that this is the Ascend:

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2513&c=red_bull_mobile_rbm2_huawei_u8230

Slower older CPU, less RAM, less upgradeable ext. memory and not as good of a display as the ZIO.

BUT, the fact it can run 2.1 with lower system specs gives me great hope that 2.x will run great on the ZIO.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
There actually will be an upgrade regardless, it is just a matter of when. Both Kyocera and Cricket have stated there will absolutely be an upgrade, they just don't seem to agree on when it will be.

Now with the Sprint Zio out, I am actually confident there will be a 2.1 upgrade for the Cricket phone coming from a user in the near future at the very least. I am also certain that in time, there will be a Froyo upgrade as well since Sprint has stated they will upgrade their Zio to Froyo in the future.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
The more I pay attention to the error message, the more I realize it doesnt make sense. Bad english...

OK. Makes sense.

What can be available -- updates? If so, this is incorrect. You cant update without wifi.

wtf? Theres no app (as far as I know and as far as I've read) phone or PC alike to update the firmware through your PC, so whats this all about?

Am I just reading into this too much, or is there something Im missing?

Excuse the frustration here. :)

[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
are you reading all this on the phone? I have run my update tool a few times and every time it just tells me to connect to WiFi, once I do it runs though a check and says there is no update available. I have never seen it say anything else.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Yes. Reading directly off the phone.

In the past (when this updater was working) this message would pop up if I didnt have my wifi enabled. Once I enabled wifi it would tell me the same, that no updates were available.

Now however, it just keeps saying what I posted above, regardless if wifi is active or not.

When wifi IS active, it performs a search for an update, but instead of saying no updates are avail. it just spits out that text I posted above.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
And update: After exploring more, it seems my google market app is also experiencing difficulty with wifi. Giving me a network connection error notice.

Once again, tested on multiple wifi connections.

So.... Problem with the wifi module now?

Well, today is yesterdays tomorrow, and there wasn't any 2.1 update.... sigh.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I was getting the same error earlier and when I finally got past that, it took forever to download the app I was looking for. Maybe it is a Google issue with the Market.

email setup with Zio

I have Cricket's Sanyo Zio. As others have mentioned, i'm not yet finding an appropriate forum for discussing issues with this phone. My apology for being somewhat off-topic.

I'm wondering if anyone has had trouble setting up email. I have verified that i'm using the correct settings. My provider is a major one, Qwest/MSN, and i've successfully set up this email account on a different cellphone.

The Zio phone works when communicating with the incoming email (POP3) server, but it fails to communicate with the outgoing email (SMTP) server. Not sure what the next step should be.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Roaming indicator is for if you roam out of the Cricket service area and into another as in those plans from other carriers that have "roaming charges". The "roaming indicator" would let you know that you are getting "roaming charges" when you use your phone.

Well, there is not a Cricket or Kyocera website that states it, but I can sign up for a free web page and put the announcement on there myself for you if it will make you feel like it is more legit...

(That basically means that just because it is on a web page, that doesn't make it 100% true...even if it was on Cricket's web page, we will only know when it is being released once it is actually released)

On a separate note the firmware update will not affect anything on my phone like ADW launcher will it, and will i need to root again after it is updated, sorry if thats a stupid question
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
hey guys i just joined this forum after learning that there are users who are interested in the Zio. i just upgraded yesterday to the Zio M6000 (via cricket service) and i like it.

having a new OS update will definitely make this phone more the while to have. anyway, i ran the update tool in wi-fi (will not work on 3G) and there was nothing available to update the Zio with.

hopefully that v2.1 OS will be available at cricket this week :)
