Ok so here goes... I keep getting the message when trying to send or receive mms... I'm not in wi-fi, I have tried the apn workaround, master reset phone and have gotten the ota update... master reset works but only for the first picture. Does anyone know if flashing the phone to 2.2 resolves the issue or not? Because i've seen that this is an issue with htc 2.1 phones.

I have been using FroyoStone Series V1 for about 2 weeks and when I went back to WinMo (until I get my hands on V2) I have noticed quite a problem.

My archived photos I had (about 100) have vanished (!?!) and my gallery from Home Tabs no longer works properly. For some odd reason gallery now reads EVERYTHING graphics related and all small icons, shortcuts, etc - is displayed in it (:() Then, no larger pictures can be slid from one to another unless I start viewing pictures from Albums - than I can slide, multi-zoom, etc.

Does anyone have similar problems and what possibly can be the solution to it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mr.Htc_Viva_Opal_T2223:
I too have the same problem, the images tab stores all the images of the Android system, there is a solution?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
Try to hide in options all folders OR go into your DCM folder and then thumbnails and delete all of the little pics. This actually solved mu issue under WinMo sine it now works totally fine.

MOD - you may rename it with SOLVED... thanks

Are they the same thing?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
no....underclock means to lower the clockspeed (from 1ghz to 900 mhz fkr example) and undervolt means to lower the voltage being delivered to the cpu at a given clockspeed.....you as the user can freely undervolt using setcpu but the kernel chef is the only one who can undervolt a kernel
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflip:
Thanks!

Ok, 4 questions:

1)Does undervolting slightly affect the performance of the phone? If so, in what way?

2) Which kernel is better on the battery? Kingclick, our hydra kernel?

3) does it make sense to overclock slightly on an undervolted kernel.

4) which roms are most compatible with each kernel if there is a compatibility issue?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1. undervolting improves battery

2. hydra is better on principle

3. overclocking is never necessary....overclocking isnt needed at 1ghz, but if you insist in overclock, 1.113 ghz is good....or 1.15 but i wouldnylt reccommend 1.2

4. all sense roms work with custom kernels
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflip:
I'm pretty sold on skyraider. But It s packaged with kingx. Have you tried hydra with skyraider? Does it perform better than king x and would you recommend it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Kingxklick is a theif
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflip:
Which kernel is undervolted more? Hydra or kingxklick?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not sure....but kingklick kernels are overvolted too
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msjulie:
So if I have a stock rooted 2.2 Incredible and just want to save some battery, can I just drop a kernel in place and it will "just work" ? I have SetCPU lowering the clock when screen is off, would this be better?

thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If I was you, I would flash your kernel of choice (mine is hydra ssuv v0.5) and definitely lower the screen off profile....and use a good Rom too...speed isn't always in the kernel you use, its in the Rom too...that's why I don't overlook....

And also, unpack and quadrant are just bragging rites, nothing more nothing less

[Hero CDMA General] chebubbin:
Hello,

The Android 2.1 RUU update from Sprint ("HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe") caused USB connectivity between my Sprint HTC Hero and my PC to stop functioning. I followed all directions while performing the RUU update (and I'm fairly tech-savvy). Everything functions perfectly well with the exception of USB connectivity. The menu that normally appears when the phone is connected to the PC (options for "Charge only", "Disk drive", etc.) does not appear on my phone. The phone charges while connected, however, and USB connectivity DOES indeed function in FastBoot mode. So, it's not the USB cable or the phone's hardware.

I am not the only individual with this problem. There is a lengthy thread about it on Sprint's official community forums: google.com/search?q=sprint.com%3ALoss+of+USB+connectivity+from+HTC+Hero+to+Windows+PC+after+Android+2.1+update

I was able to root my phone and install a custom ROM without the ability to connect my Hero to my PC. I did this with the use of another Hero (I have two identical models in my household). I intend to post instructions for others to follow, once I find reliable solution.

I installed the "EXTBLUE_04SEP.zip" ROM using the "recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img" image. Surprisingly, I still have no USB capabilities, even though USB continues to function as expected when the phone is in FastBoot mode.

When I first called my local Sprint service location about this problem (several months ago), they said, "We're aware of this problem. It will take a couple of hours to fix. We need to restart the USB services on the device." I'm not exactly sure to which services he was referring, which is why I've come for help. It's worth noting that one customer in the sprint.com thread said that the store could not fix his phone (big surprise) and that they had a new phone shipped to him.

Having the phone replaced seems silly. With root access to the device, there must be some diagnostic process I can follow in order to determine which USB-related services are failing to start.

I find it odd that the lack of USB connectivity would persist across different ROMs, but after all, they are based on the same Android builds.

I even formatted the ext partition, cleared all user data, etc. before updating the ROM. The ROM works beautifully... except for USB.

I am deeply appreciative for any insights that the experts here may be able to offer.

Thank you in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
If you are running 2.1 I would try usb switcher from the market. There are some other usb mount widgets, some are free and some are paid. I do not know if usb switcher works on the Hero, but i was using a widget that I just clicked on to enable usb. If you are on 2.1 do a search in market for usb and you should find some.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Go download PDANet from here: http://www.junefabrics.com/android/

Install that on your computer, and then when it wants you to connect your phone, connect it. It should install the drivers for you. Then you should be able to use your phone with your comp :D
[Hero CDMA General] chebubbin:
Thank you both for your replies.

I tried downloading the only free USB mounting app from the Market, but it crashes on launch. Others have complained about the same behavior in the app reviews.

Further, it seems as though such apps are simply replacements for the included "USB switcher" app that asks the user what to do when the phone is connected to a computer. Given that my core USB functionality is "dormant" (or outright busted), I suspect that these apps will have no effect, even if they worked as designed.

PDANet brought no joy, either. I installed the software and it never detects that the phone is connected.

I should clarify on a couple of points. I have another HTC Hero (also Sprint CDMA) that I also updated to 2.1 (via official RUU) and its USB port functions absolutely fine on the same computer. This fact indicates that it's:

a) not the USB cable

b) it's not the PC (and therefore not HTC Sync, drivers, etc.)

In other words, the drivers are installed on the PC, and function as expected with anyone else's Hero. My Hero never "presents itself" to the computer, so the result is the same, whether or not drivers are installed on the PC.

Any other thoughts? Thanks again for your responses.
[Hero CDMA General] chebubbin:
I found the following information regarding the USB kernel module in Ubuntu. Perhaps unloading the module would be useful in this situation, too. In Ubuntu, it's

# modprobe -w -r usb_storage
# modprobe usb_storage

I suspect that the USB kernel module in Android goes by a different name. Does anyone know what it might be?

Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA General] chebubbin:
I decided to go a different route here.

I thought about attempting to restore the phone to the condition it was in when I received it, to see if USB would once again function with the older software. After all, USB was fine until I ran Sprint's RUU for Android 2.1.

The phone shipped with "RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1.exe" or similar, I believe. But when I tried to run that RUU in "FastMode", the installer failed with "Bootloader version mismatch" (error message may not be verbatim).

So, I decided to try installing the same software that "bricked" my USB functionality in the first place (downloaded from Sprint's website). Surprisingly, that RUU executable ("HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe") actually worked for restoring my phone to a suitable condition in which to bring it to a local Sprint store.

It looks like replacing the phone is the only real option when the 2.1 update wrecks the phone's USB functionality.

The most curious bit is that RUUs install perfectly fine over FastBoot. The USB-related hardware is obviously functional if it works in FastBoot mode. The question is why doesn't USB function in ANY ROM (including the official Sprint ROMs)? :confused:

I've given-up. I'll report back after I return from the Sprint store. (In other words, there should be no means by which the store is able to determine that I rooted my phone at any point, and thus my warranty should still apply.)
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
The only reason I mentioned an app to toggle mounting the sdcard is that when I was messing with apps on my phone I deleted one that toggled the choice of charging, mounting, etc. I have extended controls and they have a switch for mounting the sdcard and it worked. There was also some others that i have that worked, but are no longer available in the market.
[Hero CDMA General] chebubbin:
Makes perfect sense, unCoRrUpTeD. It was a solid suggestion, and I do appreciate your willingness to assist.

I just returned from the Sprint store and they told me that a) the liquid submersion strip had been tripped (it was bright red) and that b) there's a crack at the base of the phone, immediately adjacent to the USB mini port. The technician stated that either of those items could be the cause of the "malfunctioning" USB port.

In other words, they blamed me, told me that my 1-year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects does not apply (because of the submersion strip and crack) and that I'll have to file an insurance claim if I want a fully-functional phone. I don't feel like I should have to pay a $100 deductible to replace a phone that Sprint's own update wrecked. I sincerely doubt that the USB port ceasing to work immediately after the 2.1 update was a coincidence.

Given that this phone has never been exposed to any type of liquid, and that it's never been dropped (it lives in a silicon case that protects it heavily from both types of damage), I'm a little irked. The silicon case probably traps moisture, hence the tripped submersion strip, and my buddy's Hero cracked in the exact same spot, next to the USB port.

I guess the case on this one is closed for now: I'll have to live without the ability to connect to the phone to the PC. At least FastBoot ROM installations still function.

Thanks again for the help.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
You might want to try

this

and then run the 1.56 RUU and see if it fixes the problem.

Another thing you could try is adbwireless. This will work if you have a wireless router. Download it from the market and then connect your phone to your wireless router. Start adbwirelss and it will give you an ip address. You type this into either the cmd window or terminal and then you can use adb to push or pull crap from your phone. You might also be able to use droid explorer if you are using windows and just do the adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555 and then use droid explorer to see everything.

For anyone purchasing a SPRINT BATTERY BOOST to use to charge their micro-USB phones, DO NOT TRY TO CHARGE YOUR DEVICE while the Booster is charging....it's advertised to be able to be hooked up to an electrical charge AND charge your phone simultaneously....well I tried that yesterday and nearly burned up my desk AND the booster was hot as a boiled egg after about 15 minutes....smell of burning something in the air....I unplugged EVERYTHING and let it all sit, today the booster seems to be OK with the exception of smelling like burnt transistor, LOL. I haven't tried to use the card reader yet. Just an FYI, don't do what I did you might start a fire!!!!

[Galaxy Spica General] LostAlone:
Hey guys, apologies in advance if I'm in the wrong place.

My gf is just about to upgrade her device and wants to go to a droid phone but doesn't want the extra cost to get a galaxy S, but she's determined to stay with a samsung device.

So, we checked out her options, and one offered by t-mo uk is the galaxy apollo. Now, I've never heard of that device, and its not listed here or wikipedia, but there are some reviews that say its running eclair and the model number i5801, which led me to this forum, thinking its a spicia variant(like how the galaxy s has the fascinate and so on)

So yeah, is the apollo an updated spicia or a cut down galaxy S or what ? And how comes no-one seems to be talking about the device. The reviews seem to indicate that it would have launched in the past couple of months but apparently to no great interest.

So yes... I figure that someone here will know what this device actually is and if there is anyone developing for it, or if its just a flash in the pan that isn't worth investing in.

Cheers guys, sorry for rambling!
[Galaxy Spica General] munchy_cool:
well it's better than the spica that it has a radio,

and lesser than the spica that it has a very less resolution, and the processor is slower.

a friend of mine just bought it and after using the spica i was not impressed with the screen clarity when compared to the spica, but a good value for money phone, considering it costs around 12,000 INR.

also it has the samsung's touchwiz which i personally hate ...

I would suggest the Acer Liquid, one hell of a phone if the budget permits, with a lot of devs working on the liquid.
[Galaxy Spica General] LostAlone:
Ah, so its definitely not actually a Spicia device then... Anyone know if it is developed for at all ?

Don't get me started on exactly why she HAS to stay with a samsung device and HAS to stay on her current network. If I could get her a Spicia (i think they call it Portal here) then I would, but alas the choice is between Jet, Wave and Apollo. Since Jet and Wave are basically feature phones with pretensions, at least the Apollo gives her the app store, proper email and internet and well... all the reasons why droid is a good thing :P.
[Galaxy Spica General] munchy_cool:
^ As of now I have not seen any development on the Apollo.

Download it to your SD card (root directory), reboot into recovery, and flash the zip just like a ROM. You may want to wipe your cache and dalvik first, some people say it's a good idea. Don't wipe data, obviously. :)

:mad: Dude, c'mon really? :confused: Have you read anything in this forum? :confused: Two of the biggest threads in the dev section are about kernels.

Good luck! :D

Just a heads up, not many people will answer a question if it is something that can be easily found in this forum... Also not reading will get you the "Google it!" response more often then not.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexxed:
Ok, I just figure having a thread about this might help since I haven't found any similar problem to mine.

I was using Cyanogen RC2, out of the blue the phone did not boot (stuck at the logo screen). I did manage to get to fastboot and from then on this happens:

It does not power up in any way most of the times (power + volume down, power or power + trackball). I'm trying to see the causes of this but fail to do so. Leaving the battery out for days doesn't solve it. It just sometimes boots in fastboot or bootloader.

In this not powering up state, if I charge it to the wall or USB cable, it charges. If I push any combination of powering up buttons in this state, the charge led goes off and stays off until I remove the battery and cable.

When I get lucky and power it up in fastboot, I can try flashing. It hangs 90% of the time during various states, most of the time at the begining. This means I see the green progress bar empty or in progress.

I'm trying now to flash the stock OS (boot, recovery, system and userdata). The radio is FRF 50, 4.06.00.12_7, hboot is the original, 0.33.2012.

I managed to flash different version of recovery.img (stock, RA, cyanogen) but booting in recovery mode from hboot menu just restarts the phone.

When fastboot works and the phone hangs during the flash process, I have to remove the cable and battery and start over.

I did manage to flash a system.img once, don't remember what version, but that did not get me nowhere (might not have matched my radio).

Any ideas are welcome, like using the SD card somehow instead of fastboot over usb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emul8or:
PASSIMG.zip

You can try the passimg method-

1. download a stock image and rename it PASSIMG.zip

2. Place the file on the root of your sd

3. Power off your phone, then turn it on by holding VolDown and pressing Power

*It will start up in HBOOT mode and will prompt you to flash the PASSIMG.zip update
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexxed:
I've read about this, that's what I plan to try next time when I manage to start the phone. Do you know if this works automatically when powering the phone or it expects the recovery mode (choosing Recovery from the boot menu) to work (because it doesn't)?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willzz:
No it reads the img with out needing to be in recovery it will up date in the bootloader
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexxed:
Some progress on the not booting sometimes, if I insist, it will boot after 4-5 battery pullouts.

I tried 2 versions of PASSIMG.zip from shipped-roms

Thought I'd share my contribution. Since I'm no programmer, the best I can do is resize and crop some hot women for your Vibrant pleasure.

MOST of these are the standard 960x800, although there were a few that I felt could not be cropped without destroying the intent of the image, so these have been sized to 960 width. MOST are of hot women, although there's a few random walls in there too.

As with all Vibrant walls, these should also work fine on any phone that uses the same size walls (Nexus 1, etc.). Once I've converted a few more, I may try and .zip up a big file to be hosted somewhere, if anyone's interested, but Picasa works great for now.
