I've called Cricket several times. Once they told me that they are updating the Zion to 2.2 then another time they said 2.1, tehn another time they said they were both releasing a update. Since they are releasing another phone with 2.1 without taking care of us that bought their zio is a slap in the face. I'm switching to Clear when they get their mobile phone service to get a way better phone and 4G.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
I was at a cricket store yesterday. The rep said the update should be available OTA sometime in the coming week -- no need to bring the device in.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
As stated before, there is an update coming it is just a matter of when. Knowing how businesses work, I understand the those who make the decision on new products are not always the same people that oversee upgrades for existing products. That being the case, I don't see it as a slap in the face. When I bought the phone, they said an update was coming. As long as it is here by the end of the year or early next year then I don't think its that big of an issue.

Everyone is entitled to feel how they like of course, but I know that sometimes things are not as easy I think they are or happen as fast as I think they should. I may not know why, but then again the world does not revolve around me :P
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Hopefully they are right. As I mentioned in another post, Kyocera and Cricket can't seem to agree on a release date. This is an E-mail I just got from Kyocera...

[Kyocera Zio M6000] jcaf77:
that is too funny, I got an almost identical email but they said they didnt know what version of android would it be, but now they are saying is 2.1... oh well.. will be on 1.6 until next year it seems :(
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
unless somebody creates a custom ROM...

this week, next week, next year. either way. i'm rooted so I'm content...for now.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Think about it: I dont see why so many reps would all be saying the same thing (even at official cricket outlets, not just tech support) -- next week -- if it wasn't true, or at least what they've been told.

Perhaps Cricket worked independantly to get the 2.1 rom working? Who knows..

Unless its a flat out lie handed down from corporate (thus the reason all reps nationwide are saying the same thing), Im going to expect an update within a week or so.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
EARLY NEXT YEAR?!?!?!?

THIS BLOWS!! i hope this is not true.. i will be soo disappointed.. im expecting a update by friday..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I'm not. Friday I think would be too soon even by what others are saying, it would most likely be the following Friday at the soonest. To be honest though, I am not holding my breath.

If it does come out this month, then that would be great and I would appreciate it. I am not waging any bets on it though.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
Well i would want it as soon as possible.. or else i might as well sell the ZIO and pick up the Huawei Ascend for only $129.99.. What are the key differences between the 2 phones, other than the Huawei Ascend having 2.1?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Mainly the ascend has lower screen resolution: 320X480 and slower processor: Qualcomm MSM722 @ 528 MHz (although some sites incorrectly list it @ 600 MHz).

Personally, knowing that the update is coming (eventually) and considering what is in the update to 2.1, I would rather just wait it out. There is nothing in 2.1 that I absolutely have to have right this second that I feel the need to give up screen resolution and processor power over.

In all honesty, I could live without 2.1. I don't need anything in the update and I am not all that impressed with what it has to offer over 1.6 . What I really would like is 2.2 simply for the flash support and support for installing apps on the SD Card. Those are really the only two updates I am excited about and 2.1 does not have them.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jcaf77:
skype doesnt work on 1.6 :( , Launcher pro doesnt work on 1.6... facebook contacts sync doesnt work on 1.6, no activsync etc........................
[Kyocera Zio M6000] alusher:
sanyo zio

if people would put as much time into developing as they do complaining we would have a custom rom by now
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rat_fink1950:
I hear ya, if I could I would lol, I thought they were close earlier in this forum but I guess they gave up.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
You win.:p

If only I could code...

I'm great at testing ROMS and breaking things that aren't supposed to break, though...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
That is why I said that I PERSONALLY don't care much about it. I don't use Skype at all, haven't checked my Facebook in weeks (I don't really like the Facebook app anyway and if I really need to check it I would just use Skyfire) and as far as contacts, I believe I have mine synced though an alternate app (I think the software CD that came from Cricket with the phone). Oh, and I don't care much for active Sync. There are better alternatives to it that suit me fine.

However, I DO understand that there are people who would like those things. I was just stating that I don’t. Plus if they would give us 2.2 instead of 2.1, you would have all the stuff you want in it and I would have the stuff I want in it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Yeah those are the 2 things I really want as well, but at least with 2.1 hopefully a rom will come along that can help us
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Back on topic:

I found this new blog post from koush with instructions on how to port it over to a new phone. It would be better to get a Sprint Zio with (most likely) a newer kernel to do this with. I have Ubuntu installed on my desktop (which has been unplugged for a while), so I would be pretty easy to install the Android SDK and get that ported if I find the time.... o sweet time... where do you go... [reddit, porn, lmao].

There's a new Sprint Zio 1.008sp update. I was looking all over to see if I could find a place to get it, but it seems it's OTA only. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] richdaley:
But not all of us are named Rockefeller and can afford a $229 off-contract phone. :p

The Ascend is only $129(!!!) with no contract. I am with you on the screen resolution but you should be careful comparing processor speed. Sometimes those numbers can be deceptive. The 528mhz phone seems to run pretty fast on the engadget review. It looks at least as fast as my 32B mytouch running CM6 with the same processor speed. I wasn't blown away by the Zio when I tried one but Android 2.1 seems noticeably faster than 1.6.

So what is the deal with the Ascend? No custom ROMs yet? C'mon folks. It will be shipping soon! :p
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
One doesn't need to be a Rockefeller to afford $229. However, I was replying to someone who already ownes said phone so.. apparently he could afford one. I am not knocking the new phone however. I am thinking of grabbing one for my girlfriend who likes the way Android runs on my Zio.

As I said before, there will eventually be a 2.1 upgrade for the Zio. It is not as if waiting 90 days or so is the end of the world. Of course, as I am learning, I simply may be more patient than other people.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] richdaley:
I was just kidding around. I am sorry it didn't translate well in the post. $229 is a great deal. I paid a heck of a lot more for my MyTouch and I continue to pay for it again and again with my contract with t-mobile. I had Cricket a long time ago (back when it was $29 for unlimited everything) and I still think it is one of the best deals around, as long as you are relatively savvy and don't have to call their customer service.

You are more patient than most people. You should see the people climbing over each other on the t-mobile forums because they are releasing the official froyo rom this month. They are all comparing EIN numbers to see who is getting it first. I think the Zio will run very well with 2.1.

I am considering trading my phone in for one of these phones on Cricket or even the Virgin mobile Samsung Intercept. Virgin has a plan for $25 a month that includes unlimited messaging and web plus 300 minutes a month. A good deal for those of us that rarely use our phones as a phone. I would just like to see a little more ROM development and rooting of course. I am really spoiled with the MyTouch which along with the G1 gets a lot of developer love.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Its no biggie. As far as patience, the worst I saw was the news story where people were literally physically fighting over who got to be in line first for the iPhone.

Cricket is the cheapest option I have here in Houston for unlimited everything. I use my phone quite a bit for work as well as for personal reasons. I like the unlimited data so I can tether it to my laptop when I am out of the office and get 3G internet. I also text quite a bit, at least 40 to 50 times a day I would say, that is how I keep up with my family and close friends on a daily basis. I use the heck out of my phone now that I have one that I see as basically a "micro laptop". My most used app is my tether app and Docs to Go, then the Skyfire browser and Google Maps with GPS.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
The ascend also has only 1/2 the RAM the Zio does. _This_ is where you're going to see the performance decrease.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jcaf77:
it looks like they both have the same amount of ram 256mb, check ziobykyocera.com
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
ok guys its monday..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
already running out of space on zio

so i've had this phone for about 2 weeks and i have about 40mb/s of storage left?? why would you put 185 megs for storage on a device and only 85 megs is available for apps and such?? we definitely need froyo on this phone so we can save stuff to sd card?!?! does anyone know how i can free up space or something?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Yeah, delete apps you don't need.

How else would you free up space?

BTW, where did you hear that there is 185 Mb of storage? All the official specs say it is 256 Mb.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
well gee wiz thanks for the response.. all i need to do is delete everything huh? sounds great. well ive read that there is 256mb's of storage as well but when i open up "quick app cache cleaner" it says i have 67mb of 185 available? and with most of my apps being around 1-3 mb's im just not seeing how i've used up 75% of my storage because i am constantly deleting crap off here that i dont use much or just wanted to try out and i cant get over 75 megs of storage back..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Also it gets laggy and I will press home and it takes a few seconds for my icons to appear.. when I use task killer and kill all Alps it says I have 41megs of memory available,how does that compare to others?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
I experienced the same problem. But i am passed that. First thing first.. Get RID OF Task Killer.. That kills your battery and ur android operating system. Android is a "smart" device. You should let the phone handle by itself to maximize performance. Now, for the laggy part. Create a habit by pressing the HOME button after EVERYTHING u do. Example (instead of pushing the BACK button) after reading/sending text, web, camera, basically all ur programs.

The more u use the HOME button, less to no lag u will experience.

Lemme kno if it works out well for u! :)

Also.. I am currently using a different version of HOME, which to me i think its the best!

Go to the Android Market Place and DOWNLOAD ADW Launcher. And set it as your DEFAULT HOME SCREEN.

It will make your phone look like the interface of a Galaxy S.

Enjoy!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Ok, ill try that thanks for the info.. I'm actually using adw right now and like it a lot.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
No prb netime.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I wasn't trying to be mean, but it really is the only way to make room on a cell phone. You can't add a larger hard drive and you can't put more RAM in it. All we have is an SD card that you have to root or upgrade to Froyo to add apps to. So, short of that...the word is "delete".

Look at it this way, if you buy a PC that is advertised as having a 500 Gb hard drive, do you actually have 500 Gigs of space once you install the operating system?

On my phone, if I go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications

I have roughly 140 apps on my phone. At an average of 1.5 Mb per app, that is 210 Mb of storage taken up. So, I suspect I still have somewhere around 46 Mb of room left give or take.

Remember, these are low end cell Phones, not NASA mainframes.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jcaf77:
well apps take extra space not only the size of the app itself but their content... games and other interactive apps grow in size :( ... I know we will get Froyo at some point! so the space thing will be temporary.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
Ok guys. I called cricket and they told me the 2.1 should release within the release for the sprint zio. Sometime this week or early next week. Lets hope its true!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Sprint has already released their Zio.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
All of a sudden when I try to start BT or use a BT device I get an error saying BT can not be started because the BT stack could not start. If I soft reset I can then start BT without issue. I decided to just leave BT on over the weekend since I was driving and it connects to my car stereo automatically when on. This morning, I go to sync using BT and the icon is in the tray, but I get the BT can't connect error. Soft reset and works fine. What could be causing this?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] boggsie:
Is this with the stock rom or a custom one?

I have also experienced this, but I build/flash custom roms so often, I never bother to track down or even research the issue.

Best regards,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
In my sig, OEM AT$T ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
OK, I think I have found the problem. I have CleanRAM scheduled to run every morning at 7:45 so that my Tilt 2 starts the day fresh. It is configured to run a Level 2 cleaning. Apparently, this is causing some process to be shut down relative to the Bluetooth stack that then causes the error when trying to use Bluetooth. It doesn't shut down BT completely, so the Taskbar icon remains. I'll either have to drop CleanRAM down to Level 1 or just do a soft reset every morning to re-establish BT. I wonder if the developer of CleanRAM is aware of this issue?

Hey guys,

for the last year or so ive been searching long and hard for a way to run blackberry messenger in some kind of way on my HTC touch/ELF, i hear of people receiving bbm,s on the touch pro using blackberry connect and people with the touch pro and HD running the entire blackberry os through some sort of virtualization, we would like to not only see bbm on touch pro and HD but general wm PPC devices. so if we have any developers out there up to the challenge to find a way to run bbm through a virtual environment like how lime wire runs on java etc this is he place to do it. and any one who finds some one else successfully running it some where else feel free to post a link or the download. an please no one posting that it cant be done, how you need a pin and that you cant visualize the pin. It can be done just not yet and thats what im starting this thread for.

Here is the link to download the blackberry application suit whish apparently works fine an touch pro.If we can eliminate most of it and just leave behind what is needed to use bbm that would be great, ibut but if we use the entire thing on the elf/touch we need to find a way to get a touch screen keyboard in there.

Here it is: megaupload.com/?d=ZP1A68MI

And link to other places where i have seen this

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spatel9114:
So I posted a thread about how my 3G wasn't working, and it's still not working. So after talking with Sprint for about 2 hours yesterday, I'm getting a refurbished phone. They told me when I get the refurb, to send back the one I have now, which is rooted. So I need to completely unroot the phone I have now. Is there a tutorial online that will show me how to completely unroot my phone?

Thanks

EDIT: Will this do it? If I just run this file with my phone connected to the computer?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Yes, the RUU completely restores the phone back to factory, unrooted stock condition, just like if it were fresh out of the box.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spatel9114:
Nice, also, I saw what you posted in my other 3G thread. I'm gonna give that a shot. The update profile thing I tried a few times (a few times myself as well as with the Sprint rep), but I never tried the airplane mode. Thanks for the info.

EDIT: Thanks, but it didn't help..still the same thing. I don't get what could be wrong though, I literally tried everything. I even factory reset my phone twice, still no go..I wonder if it's a hardware error, I don't know what else it could be at this point.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spatel9114:
Okay so I'm trying to flash the originial RUU that I posted in my OP, but for some reason, when I start it up, it says "Waiting for Bootloader..." and it does that for about a minute, and then an error comes up saying that the phone couldn't be updated and to try again.. I did it twice and I'm getting the same error. Does anyone know how to get past this?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Make sure your battery is charged pretty well (at least past 50% or so). Turn off your phone and turn it back on. Does it get stuck at the black HTC screen? Or the white one?

If so, leave it this way, plug your USB into the phone and computer, then try re-running the RUU with the phone stuck like that. Sometimes this works for people who get these types of errors.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mspence2010:
First of all Hello and thank you for having a great forum. I have learned a lot from the posts that I have read. Ok, like I said my touch screen lost its touch. :D It started acting up last week and got to the point where it would not accept touch input. I tried a hard reset, but I still have the same problem.

I am beginning wonder if any of you sages and guru's may have come across something like this in the past. I tried flashing the device but it is difficult since I can not touch the screen to ok the program load.

So, do I have a hardware or software problem? Also, are there ways to select a soft key other than touch? Thanks for reading and if you got any ideas let me know.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 3|Saint|5:
I would say its a hardware failure, especially since you flashed your phone and your screen still wont register any touch. But I would wait for a second opinion before I take it in to be serviced.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mspence2010:
Thanks, but I was not able to flash only reset it using the alternative method described on Verizon's website. I am trying to flash the phone with a new ROM, but the phone prompts me to click 'yes' or 'no' on the screen to install new software. Of course, that is a no go. I tried to flash from the security unlocked screen but the flash program will not run. I am almost out of options.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] qtipextra:
You woudn't be using a case on the phone by any chance, would you? I have noticed some cases extend onto the screen too far, causing it to be touched, and then it wont recognize any other screen touches.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] roughboy:
I went through the same thing a year ago, and I found some posts from people with the same problem.

It is caused by gunk getting in groove around screen.

take a business card or similar thickness paper and drag through groove around screen.

If that does`nt work get a piece of duct tape and apply to screen and gently pull off at steep angle.

It will lift screen back up and unstick it.
