[Touch CDMA General] Does_It_Matter:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Touch-Screen-Di...749473?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item439b537fa1

You may just need a new Digitizer.

Can get them pretty cheap on e-bay - just have to wait since coming international mail.
[Touch CDMA General] southcan:
I am having similar problems. Usually when the phone goes to sleep and I wake it up the touch screen is unresponsive. Only way to get touch to respond is to reboot.

I have tried it on my vogue on both the fresh froyo and experimental fat free froyo using both the 10-9 and 9-29 kernel on nand. I have also used nbh editor to change the panel types (vogue uses auto detect so I changed it to Polaris) and still the same problem. I thought perhaps there was a problem with a program but I have no programs installed right now and the problem still persists.

Does anyone have any suggestions? My phone was working fine up to a few weeks ago and I would hate to be forced to use windows again. I have reinstalled windows and it works fine there so I don't think it is hardware related. It seems something happens when it goes to sleep.
[Touch CDMA General] mikurej95:
Well there might be a driver issue. Try going back to the stock rom for your device and see if the touchscreen works, if it doesn't work, then it's probably broken. Try opening the vogue and disconnecting and reconnecting and then turning your device back on and test it again. if it still doesn't work, then yea you will have to get a new digitizer.

You can also try using other releases/roms with different kernels.

good luck!! and may your vogue live on!!
[Touch CDMA General] southcan:
Thanks, I've installed a windows rom and the touchscreen has no issue there so it leads me to believe it is not the digitizer, especially because it seems to break when it goes to sleep.

I will try even older kernels and perhaps a donut build to see if the problem still exists.
[Touch CDMA General] n2rjt:
Try to figure out when things broke for you by trying the kernels that have been released over the past month. Maybe we can isolate the change that broke things for you. Maybe not, but it's worth a try.
[Touch CDMA General] SuperJMN:
Hi! I had this problem, that was the reason why I put back WM. I experienced it using .32. I think it was from 1-Oct-2010 approximately when it started to fail.
[Touch CDMA General] deltagamer:
IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!! Last week my screen broke as well. I was running "not so super froyo" and it would work for a second then just be completely unresponsive... needless to say I now have a droid x *fap**fap*:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ejen:
Hi I've been reading these forums for ages but only just signed up, I'm looking to root my hero (surprise) and complete newb.

Basically current build/software is 3.32.405.1 so 2.1, followed the rooting instructions exactly, then rebooted holding home and power on buttons but it just boots straight into a red triangle with exclamation mark in the middle of it, I can hold power and volume up to get a small menu with apply sdcard: update but tried that after getting frustrated and that said that the file wasn't verified. :mad:

how do I get the normal recovery screen because already have a villainrom on the sdcard. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
You need to do the root process to get to the care bear, then flash villainrom on the care bear, before rebooting.

That will get you sorted :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ejen:
Well I rooted using universal androot, then used the teminal to input the su (press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (press enter) part of instructions but at no point do I see the care bear :S
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SikiN:
I have the same problem as Ejen. The phone is root i have superuser permission i do titanium backup .I put RA-hero-v1.7.0.1 with Better Terminal Emulator. When I turn off phone and press Home&Power I get a picture phone with a triangle. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Yes, this is because stock rom automatically reflashes recovery with the stock one each shutdown iirc.

You need to stop this happening, but I can't remember the command. When you have root using universal androot though, you can stop it happening.

Or maybe it's too early for me. Wait till I've had a coffee or two and I'll revisit this...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] duck0:
Perhaps you can edit /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. A quick look trough /system didn't find anything like a shutdown script so perhaps this file is run by the android environment.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bloke:
I had this same issue the other night, been searching for a fix, hopefully one appears here soon, thanks Pulser_g2, i was hoping to install your 1.5 Rom

Bloke
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ejen:
Ah seems I'm not the only one well at least I wasn't just being silly then, well tried it multiple times but still seem to have no success even tried the unlockr websites method with no success either.

If anyone knows thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Right... Are you on 1.5 or 2.1 just now?

Could someone (preferably the most tech savvy here) if you're on 2.1, try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726118 and see if that works.

I'm trying to work out what's going on here...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ejen:
I'm 2.1 and had been using your other guide to root my phone but embarrasingly got stuck at stage 2 whilst trying to set up ADB (my knowledge of cmd is very limited to the point I only know the command tree :) ), saw the guide on XDA and thought that looks really simple so tried that instead, then tried unlockr method when XDA's didn't work now given up and asked for help :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Ok,... So how far did you get on setting up adb http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...de-Setting-up-ADB-and-how-to-use-it.-(Windows) ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ejen:
I had done up to part 4 using ADB, opened up cmd prompt I couldn't seem to push stuff to the SD card and was unsure what I did wrong.

When checking the USB works part 3, I used the link chose part 2, HTC sync users > ADB I couldn't find android_winusb when updating the driver software. I'm probably missing something or being silly now but I don't know
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Type adb devices, and if you see your phone's serial number, then you don't need to worry about drivers. Remember to "cd" into the correct folder first.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ejen:
I'll try that but CD did nothing I'm running windows 7 and it sticks on C:\users\username Can't go back
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Where have you downloaded your Android SDK too?

for example > "cd c:\SDK\tools"
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SikiN:
I guess that is already on the phone RA-hero-v1.7.0.1 as you said stock rom automatically reflashes recovery. I suppose that the method VillainROM Roots 2.1contains RA-hero-v1.6.2.img. What will then happen with recovery if i try to do again root with VillainROM Roots 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
When you try that method, you get the phone booted into patched recovery, at which point you take a nandroid backup and flash a custom ROM.

this prevents the recovery being lost. Just try it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SikiN:
I'm not at home and can not install ADB and run runindos.bat. I have on SD card recovery and FroydVillain 1.5. That's why I tried this method.Next week I'll be home and if someone does not fix the problem i will try the method you suggested me.

Can I try to put again recovery with Better Terminal Emulator, maybe recovery was corrupted ....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bhavik236:
i went through the same thing!!

helloo!! i apologise if i am interupting or butting in whilst your in the middle of other solutions... i just saw the title and jump right in. i went through the exact same thing just 2 weeks ago!! unfortunately for me there was no successful forums or websites at the time... it sounded like a simple problem, with no simple solution.

this may not be what you where looking for, but its a very quick easy method that definately worth a try.

so... am i right in saying you have the official OTA HTC android 2.1 update?? and you now want to get this rooted?? and have you also tried rooting using the two common methods, the "one click root" and the "unrevoked" one? thats wat i did and i kept being stuck at the same red triangle and exclamation mark.

those methods (and countless others) will not work with the official htc hero android 2.1. (as far as i know) what you will need to do is downgrade the phones software. check htc's website and look for the older RUU and using the computer get your hero back to android 1.5. (under no circumstance should you upgrade your 1.5 android to the 2.1 android via HTC's OTA update... its only going the remove the root access!!!! - always reject it)

then continue to root as per the numerous rooting guides. done? now, obviously you will want to flash an android 2.1 rom. if you want to keep to htc's original 2.1, you can search for this in the forums under 'development'. or go ahead and flash the custom roms (villianrom).

thats exactly how i did it. im not entirely sure if this is the info you are after... but reply back and ill be happy to answer any query - big or small. (i should warn you, im no expert - but this forum is filled with the earths most powerful brains - u should have an answer in no time!!)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Vicntc:
I have an HTC Hero. I ran the simple root method and got Carebare response.

I too have read numerous threads in the forum here and elsewhere but can't seem to get past the USB section.

adb says no device

I can use HTC Sync to sync data to the phone.

The SDK is installed and I have previously used it to capture screen shots of my device.

If I try to run one of the RUU executables, it fails with a [114: USB Error] (number may be wrong but the message is right.

I can mount the SD card and copy files to/from it.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Quad Core AMD CPU.

If I do the Home/Power thing, I get the same red triangle as described in the 1st message of this thread.

Fwiw, I have successfully and repeated loaded ROM's on my previous phone (HTC S621) so I am not a complete newb (but i am newb to Android).

What am I missing? This shouldn't be this hard (at least from what I've seen posted anyway)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Have you seen this guide,... Might help.

[Guide] Drivers & RRU Errors Solved
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ejen:
I know this is ridiculously late reply but hey I thought should thank you all for your help.

I only got around to rooting it last week after failing all that time ago.

What I ended up doing was going to HTC website and downloading the Hero 1.5 unlocked ROM and using old HTC Sync installing that onto the device.

I then followed the old guides and it was incredibly simple managed to get the recovery and put froydvillain 1.7.2 onto the device looks great, runs great and is generally awesome.

Battery is a problem today but hopefully will sort that anyway thanks but that was my solution ^

question is are there any videos out that have a walk-though for making a cable that will put the phone into car mode
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
ok i could be wrong on this so dont shoot me. It is my udnerstanding that it isnt the cable that puts it into car dock mode for te evo. it is a magnetic band on the dock itself. As an alternative since i have only heard of the official HTC cardock acctually putting it into car dock mode (it doesnt come with a cable) you can get a cardock app to put it in. yes it is an extra few buttons but it may be your best bet.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
So I just (half-an-hour ago) switched over to Launcher Pro. I absolutely love it. I'm running it on Fresh 3.2.0.0 with Kingx's BFS #8 . . . but I just realized that I'm basically bordering on being done with Sense altogether. I am used to (and prefer) the HTC dialer, messaging, VVM, and a few other things, so that would make the switch hard, but how much Sense is still going on behind Launcher Pro? Is it going to kill my performance or battery life?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
There's still some Sense stuff in the background, but it's not all bad. The awesome copy and paste ability that you see in the browser would be gone. The MMS app in CM6 doesn't let you send messages longer than 160 characters without it failing to send. Also, the battery life of CM6 is much worse than Fresh 3.2.0.0. Yesterday I read an ebook, messaged, surfed and played a bit of Connectoo and still had 66% battery life after 12 hours. Sure, that was light use, but I can barely make it to 9 hours on CM6 without it dying.

If you want to try CM6, here are a few things to address your concerns. You can install VVM on CM6 and it will work just fine (though some people report getting annoying notifications saying that they have a message when they don't). You can install Handcent messager which will let you bypass the 160 character bug I mentioned above. Also, there is an app called Dialer One that behaves kind of like the Sense dialer.

Edit: and if you use Exchange for your mail, I really like CM6's AOSP email app. If you type a letter or two from the email address you want, it will actually search the server's email addresses and list all matches, not just those in your own contact list.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Thanks for the info! I think I'll stick with Fresh and LP for now, it's everything I love. Gonna try VaelPak before reflashing to get rid of this theme I just flashed (didn't nandroid first), then it'll be back to the old standby.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
I've been using Vaelpak for about a week now and its great. I switched when I found myself using Sense less and less. I never tried CM6 because I use 4G and can't do without it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firemedic1343:
I used to be on Cyanogen...since the first nightly up to the final version. I recently got 4G in my area...so I've tried Baked Snack and Fresh...right now I've been using Vaelpak for about 12 hours and it is a very nice mostly Sense-less alternative.

btw, launcher pro is awesome, but I love my ADW just a little more :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
I used both Launcher Pro and ADW and I love ADW. Dont get me wrong I really liked LP and I like the customaizable dock but ADW is where its at man. If your gonna try another laucher play with ADW and play with all the settings there is a lot. Also that post above about CM6 isnt accurate lol. I have been running CM6 for a month now and my battery life is awesome. He probably had an app not letting his phone sleep. For instance my phone died in 9 hours the other day. I used it none stop for 5 hours straight then used it lightly for 4 hours before it died. I always get by a full day and charge everynight. If I used it lightly for a day i wouldnt have to charge it that night. Today its been off charge for 9 hours and I used it kinda lightly however I streamed pandora for at least 3 hours today. My battery is at 46%. Oh and I am not running any special kernals, I dont use a task killer and I dont use Juice. The only thing syncing is my PSN friends widget. That sync's every thirty minutes.

Lastly I really like the AOSP dialer because its got the option for favorits and that basicly takes the place of the only sense widget I used. CM6 is great no sense is a bit overwhelming the first time you load CM6 but man I am really loving it. Also Iv been on fresh and liked it, I also liked DC 3.2 when I tried that. Since I have loaded CM6 a month ago I havnt flashed any other rom. I hate to sound like a CM6 fan boy lol but CM6 is perfect for me even if its not perfect for others. I mean I was using ADW before I loaded CM6 and I never used any of the sense widgets so whats isnt there to love about CM6 for me. I get 4G in my area and still use CM6 lol.

Whatever you do have fun and love the fact that you have choics because with all the choices we have out there now we can really choose what is perfect or what works for use. Even if you where to like sense its your choice your phone do what you want. Thats just my disclaimer so I dont get flamed for touting CM6 so much in this post lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
You can also remove a lot of the sense and sense widgets form the phone to prevent a lot of them from running in the background. I am of the minority it seems that is nto a fan of AOSP. I admit cyanogen does amazing work just from what he has accomplished but the rom is nto for me. (of course i also dont like ADW but yuo can switch that even on CM)

Anyway basically if yuo know you arent going to use the sense ui then i suggest just removing it and the htc sense widgets. I have a script now that i flash after each rom install /upgrade to remove sense and all the extra htc sense widgets (at least i am pretty sure i got them all) and a few things i dont use (ie peer networking apps cardock etc)
[General Questions and Answers] namekiano:
Hi all,

I have noticed for a while that when using apps for downloading wallpapers e.g. Flikie Wallpapers HD, Wedge, Mabilo, Backgrounds, etc. I get messages saying that is not possible to save on the SD card.

Strangely enough if I open Astro file manager almost all files and folders in my phone including those in the phone memory are marked with an -r-, are they then read-only files? If so, could it be the cause of some apps failing to save on the SD card?

If then I connect the phone to my laptop or pc I can then revert the read-only attribute of any file or folder but when I mount the card on the phone again the read-only attribute comes back again.

Here are some examples of apps that I have tried so far:

Wedge:

It seems to be OK being able to save and set those wallpapers and navigating to them with Astro doesn't seem to be a problem although they are still shown as -r-.

Backgrounds:

Saving: "Could not save the image. Please make sure the SD card is inserted and mounted"

Set wallpaper: works OK

Mabilo:

All working OK

I hope someone might be able to help. This is perhaps an easy problem to solve but I'm running out of ideas :confused:

I'm using HTC Hero 2.1, T-Mobile UK, original ROM. For the rest the phone works well, so I don't think this is a phone-specific issue...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynameisjon:
Hey, I used the search button already, but couldn't find any answers, so I'm creating this thread.

Has anyone here used Google Voice Search to "Text xxx example message" yet?

I tried a few times but it never lets me select handcent as the default app to send the text with. Does anyone know how to get that done?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeRRiiN:
If i'm correct, it sends the text using the Google Voice Search app, then the message gets displayed in your stock messaging app...or since you use handcent, it will also appear on there too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynameisjon:
Yeah, it "sends" with the voice search app, but when I press send, it asks to use

a. Google Voice

b. Messaging

No handcent option. Have tried re-installing handcent, to no avail.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
Just select stock. Basically, you're choosing which service to send the message by--your carrier or GV. If you select stock, it is sent through your carrier, which would also appear in handcent.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynameisjon:
Yeah I'm doing that right now. It's just annoying that I can't do it with Handcent.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeRRiiN:
It doesn't matter what app you're using instead of the stock messaging app, they ALL get sent from your device and the message will appear in ANY messaging app that you use. So in a way, you ARE using handcent even though you're selecting the stock messaging app.

The info is in the dev section but here are the simple steps.

Preperation

1)Enable debugging mode if you want to use adb reboot download

1) Open Odin and install the 512 pit in the pit section and the .tar in the pda section

2)plug phone into computer with cable

3)get phone to download mode

4)Start

All should go well, if you get a fail make sure you look at your process because it should work just fine this way.
