[Hero CDMA General] bholoo:
Nah. Stick whith the hero. Root it, use terminal emulator (theres a forum on how to do it) too remove any stock apps (peep, amazonmp3), and buy launcherpro from android market and use it. No need for any new roms. I do this and my hero is beastly fast, seriously. oh, and get the Advanced Task Killer app, stick the widget on your home screen, and click it every couple times you access your home screen.
[Hero CDMA General] steve19137:
omgosh you people are insane!!! i have a moment atm, but i just bought a hero off ebay last night. here why. ive had my moment since early august. i rooted it practically instantly, and was a happy camper for a month. no issues what so ever. then i had some file system corruption and had to restore back to stock. let me say, its a pain in the butt to root that thing more than once. i cant wait to get the hero, which i think is clearly the superior device. i have played with it extensively at the sprint store, and its form factor and size is much better than the moment, even though the keyboard is awesome. ya, its just the screen and the keyboard that are awesome. the rest, you will have problems with if you arent having them now. just saying.
[Hero CDMA General] boiker:
I'm a moment user, I've had two and Sprint will not replace the moment anymore. They bump you over to the Hero. My data locks (whether rooted, custom rom or stock) are happening about once every couple days as of late. The GPS is flakey at best (after working great for months), and the screen won't come out of sleep without a reboot for some reason.

So, I've taken it in and opted for the Hero. I think the moment was a device with tremendous promise and poor execution. Open GL doesn't work, the data locks are frustrating, and the other hardware/software issues are just too annoying.

James, I can't believe you have had no issues, but I'm happy for you. While working the moment is great.

Edit: Got my Hero last night. Rooted and installed CM6. So far so good.
[Hero CDMA General] mcarrion78:
Ive been a loyal moment user since feb. had no problems with it until Sprint started coming out with the useless updates now i can barely spend 5 min on the web with out it locking up. Have had it replaced twice in the last month. They finally decided to discontinue it and offer a hero or an intercept. The intercept is just garbage. So I went with the Hero. I loved my moment. the ability to customize it made it such a better phone. Id still keep it if not for the data lockup. Congratulations Samsung you have lost another customer for good. If i could end my contract with sprint they'd lose me too
[Hero CDMA General] Hexidecimal:
Just swapped my Moment for a Hero tonight. Love that phone when it works, but these useless updates to software have ruined it. Reboots constantly (any time it mounts SD card), Data Locks daily. Dunno what they did but I used to love this phone. Now I can't wait to get my Hero here and rooted.

my computer wont recognize the phone and the one click root doesnt work anymore saying the device is not connected or online

so I cant update, cant mount the phone/SD

[Droid Incredible Accessories] Xephik:
Hey guys, thought I'd share my LEGO car dock with everyone.

First about the phone:

HTC Droid Incredible running

2.15 Radio

CM6 9/17 Nightly

With a shell/holster case combo

Then the vehicle:

2002 Honda Civic EX 2 door coupe

Pioneer stereo system with AUX/Bluetooth/CD/iPod/XM Radio support

The LEGO set:

Jedi Starfighter

And without further delay, the pictures:

(Sorry about the glare, didn't realize the sunroof was cover was open until halfway through)

Yeah, the R2D2 legs acting as the front bumper to the phone isn't the prettiest of options, but I felt that between making the dock as small and as unobtrusive as possible, aesthetics, and functionality... this option filled the first and last options the best out of any other combination of parts.

Now for the ultimate in awesomeness, I decided to try out putting a movie on the Dinc then streaming the audio through the bluetooth. There are some issues with the audio being weird. I don't think its the blueooth itself, I think its the fact that the 1 hour episode I put on there is almost 1.5GB and ridiculously hi-def. I'll try out another movie this weekend. Heres some pictures featuring an episode of Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

So far, "structural integrity tests" have proven that this baby can take an amazing amount of shock. Took a two hour drive with my girlfriend and a friend and drove around the rural parts of my area. There was a few bumpy dirt roads and the whole time this thing kept together and more importantly kept the phone steady.

I used to have this awesome desktop dock for it too, but I tore it down the other week. Maybe I'll rebuild if I get tired of this one o.o
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ToyTank:
Best.....Dock......Ever.....Thanks for sharing. Made me LOL:D Hopefully wikitude drive goes live soon, then I'll need a dock that let's the camera see the road, and this gives me ideas.

Edit: Your stereo does not have audio in?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Xephik:
Thanks!

It does, but I never found a use for it. Plus i'd have to drill a hole and run the AUX cable to the back. So far the iPod cable that runs into the glove compartment and the bluetooth as worked alright ^.^
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ilangoadigal:
Awesome. Any instructions for setup?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Xephik:
Yeah sure if theres enough demand i'll take it apart and put it together again on camera.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] iflip:
Dude! I like that! Post some instructions!!

were you watching Some swedish lesbian porn?

Send me a link to that as well.
[Droid X General] toddman:
What a difference a phone makes. Droid X is light years better than the Epic. The Epic's capacitive back button would always require 2-3 presses. I do have a question, with the Droid X I'm tempted to download the leaked 2.2, good idea or should I wait for the official version that seems to be "just" around the corner? My wife has the droid 2 and loves it. Froyo is awesome. :)
[Droid X General] zanix:
You can safely use the 2.2 leak, we have the sbf to flash back to 2.1

Here is how http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7740791

The sbf and instructions to flash back to 2.1 are also in that thread

It also give instructions on Rooting 2.1 and keeping root for 2.2

And if you mess up by mistake, you can always use the Droid 2 root method, it works on the 2.2 leak for DroidX as well
[Droid X General] x.v_:
In my opinion, keep in mind it's only my OPINION, but I would just hold up for the official 2.2. If Moto decides to follow it's deadline (which it's already slightly past), it should be out very soon. And the fact that there is a leak, I would take that as a hint it's here soon. :P
[Droid X General] toddman:
Thanks @zanix & @x.v_ for two valid options. Decisions...
[Droid X General] xliderider:
There is a rumor that Moto/Verizon is patching up all the exploits in the froyo OTA though. Some think that if you want to root, then you should go the leaked froyo route. If you have no interest in being rooted, then waiting for the official froyo update is an option.
[Droid X General] iamrobk:
Apparently the 2.2 OTA is the same as the latest leak (2.3.15).
[Droid Incredible General] justinmburrous:
I have an htc incredible with 2.2 froyo installed.

version 2.2

kernel 2.6.32.15

baseband 2.15.00.07.28

and s-off

When I startup titanium backup the app says that it can not find root.

it is allowed in superuser, and super user starts up fine as well as some other root only apps.

Help?
[Droid Incredible General] Ed Zachary:
Probably saying something about installing busybox, too. Right?
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
Click having problems and install busybox. That should fix ur problems.
[Droid Incredible General] justinmburrous:
Firstly sorry for asking dumb questions, I didn't see the problems button at first.

Secondly what does busy box do. Doesn't super user already give it all the permissions it needs?
[Droid Incredible General] Zackify:
Idk but just open busybox, first time it always fails for me. Just click install again then titanium will work.
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
busybox is like DOS/*nix/etc prompt, only that it processes commands in the background. Even you have a working copy of Busybox installed, it's a good idea to hit said button and download a specific version of Busybox for TB (don't worry, it doesn't overwrite any existing copy of busybox).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammbox:
hi, im pretty new to this rooting business and noticed when going on a thread for a specific rom, they have a google add on download.

what is that? do i need it? if so, how do i install it?

another question, what are kernels? and if i need it and how to install?

ive used the androot 1 click root application and clock work mod recovery if anything

thanks
[Desire General] Drefsab:
I was upgrading my SD card copied the fakeflash/clockworkmod update.zip onto my new sd card along with my new rom then put it in the phone and tried to boot into recovery.

I get the standard menu chose bootloader then chose recovery as I have done many times before. But instead of getting the black screen with the triangle with the ! symbol in it it just stayed on the white screen with the HTC logo.

Odd fair enough I did a battery pull and then tried to boot normally but got exactly the same thing.

Ok that's strange put my old SD card back in, but no joy cant boot normally and cant get into recovery.

Is there anything I can do or have I just lost my phone for good?
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
You just need to put a sd card in the phone (a sd card which u are going to use permanently)you dont need to copy anything to sd card apart from rom and radio before u flash it, reinstall your rom + radio and things should be ok, happened with me when i got a new sd card.
[Desire General] wingnutta:
Seems VERY similar to a problem i had. Instead of HTC logo though - mine was on o2 splash screen as it is branded.

Have a look at my thread -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=776120

.....it was solved at the end. :D

If you are going down this route, be aware though you will want an unbranded RUU file and you will lose everything on the phone!

But a wiped working phone is better than a full non-working one! :p

Good luck :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
After I rooted I deodexed my ROM. Now I am having trouble setting up my gmail and other accounts. Which APK handles the account set up? When I go into my accounts and then press add account I get knocked back to the home screen so I am thinking that doing the zip alignment messed up that APK.

Thanks!

Edit:

Found it...was setup.apk.

Just a warning...for those that are deodexing your ROMs and then doing the zip alignment. You may want to copy the deodexed setup.apk to a safe place before you do the zip align. Setup.apk does not like to be zipped aligned...
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Despite lacking the latest 1GHz or 1.3GHz chips & bigger 4.3" screen seen on other soon-to-be-released devices, the Desire Z turned into my attention because I've been eagerly waiting for the next HTC phone with keyboard *and* decent screen/chip

But as expected, the Desire Z, is being launched with 900/2100 MHz 3G bands only, as near every new HTC phone does

Q:

Any news or rumours of an american bands (850/1900) users friendly version soon ??

May Telstra or AT&T could be carrying it too ??

Colateral Q: :D

Why is HTC always "avoiding" those bands when launching a new phone ??

.
[G2 and Desire Z General] StuRoid:
A1: No, the Desire Z is a Europe and Asia only phone. The G2 is the American version and is for T-Mobile. And I highly doubt that they will be making a Desire Z version for the states like they did with Cellular South which came about 6 months after the initial European launch.

A2: Haha, HTC are not 'always avoiding' those bands when launching, it comes down to your carriers over in the states always demanding exclusivity for devices so that's why they are not coming out with those bands.

My tip, move to Europe where the carrier doesn't dictate what phones you can get :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] leadfoot9281:
So I haven't ran across much talk on the cellular south desire. I'm thinking about a upgrade next month from my hero. Just wondering is it worth it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jokeyrhyme:
I read recently (probably on the Whirlpool forums) that the Desire HD has been picked up by Vodafone and Three, and that we might be able to infer that the Desire Z will go to Telstra and Optus.

During a support call with Telstra (regarding their stubborn refusal to start offering OTA updates, or even acknowledge that it's both technically feasible and being used overseas), I asked them about the Desire Z and all they would say is that they don't have a department that responds to questions about future devices. /shrug

Guess we'll find out when everyone else does.
[G2 and Desire Z General] trendz:
I too have been waiting impatiently for HTC's next NAM 3G qwerty, I'm still holding on with my HTC Dream lol

This is the only lead we have so far on a HTC Desire Z with NAM 3G:

Not much to go by but it's a bit of hope.

http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/09/18/htc-desire-z-leather-case-pops-up-in-best-buy-canada-inventory/

HTC said it will be arriving in "North America" later this year, whatever that means, we can only speculate, but it would make sense if they made a 850/1900 3G version would it with one of Canada's big 3 (Bell, Telus, Rogers - all operating on 3G 850/1900)?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jabbafat23:
Nearly every phone? I'm sorry, under which rock in America have you just emerged from? The MT Slide isn't even released outside of America. The Hero is 3 different flavours depending on your carrier. You have the HTC Evo which is the version before the Desire HD with extremely similar specs, the Droid incredible that can only be had through Verizon and now the Desire plus the G2 which is the T-Mobile version of the Desire Z not to mention America had exclusive rights to the Nexus One for months.

It wouldn't make much financial sense for HTC to make a NextG specific version just for Telstra because the market isn't big enough here. An American carrier (AT&T) would have to pick it up as well but then they are going to insist on exclusive rights and blah blah blah and at the end of it it would just end up with Bing or Yahoo on it anyway.

Avoiding bands..... um look at my first response, oh and the Legend is making its way to America as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Let me disagree

Your statement is valid for USA only, not for America

Those phones you mention are T-Mobile or Verizon only

Those are USA operators running over very particular bands (1700 MHz and CDMA)

The UMTS (WCDMA) 850/1900 MHz bands are what I am talking about

These bands are widely used from canada to central/south america and the caribbean, plus australia

You will rarely see a 3G-quadband (or at least 3G 850/1900MHz) new phone coming out from HTC, no, they all come with 3G 900/2100

Then, some months after, they *may* release an american/australian version of *that* new phone

.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jokeyrhyme:
I didn't realise this, but we have a new iPhone4 in the office for testing, and the version sold here in Australia has support for all the 3G bands used here. That means this single device can have a Telstra NextG SIM, and then be swapped for an Optus SIM and still get full 3G speeds.

Makes me wish Android manufacturers would go the extra mile and make more devices like this. It definitely makes life easy for the consumer, although does strip carriers of some of their lock-in powers (so I can see why they wouldn't like it).

I have wireless tether, and in the past (WM phone), I have been able to share my wireless connection with my X-box360 by plugging it (the 360) into a wireless router/access point. I have been doing a lot of searching about this, and appears that other android phones can do this, but I haven't fount anything about it for the EVO. Does anyone know what I need to switch Wireless Tether to Access point mode instead of ad hoc. I think this is my problem. I am rooted with nand.

Hi long time reader new to sgs

..my question is why doesnt samsung music player come with a widget???

2nd......when froyo gets released will thet update cause me to lose all my apps like other official update did? Im using a,Bell samsung galaxy and the,last update wiped my apps

...i used my backup pro to restore them lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
1: only samsung can answer that. lol. but you can pull down the top tab for music controls. music controls are still accessible when the screen is locked, so +1 for that. but if you really want the widget, there are alternative players you can use. you might also wanna keep an eye on this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=766544

2: if it's official thru kies, i have no idea. but if you flash it yourself, it will wipe your apps. it's always best to keep backups anyway in case something you don't expect will happen.

Alright, so here's what's up. I'm running Fresh 3.2 and I decided to flash Netarchy's 4.1.8 bfs over the HTC kernel Fresh comes with. I switched to Amon Ra as my recovery from Clockwork with ROM Manager to give it a try. I cleared my caches and flashed the Netarchy kernel but went into boot loop. After a little (late) research, I found out that the Nandroids I made with Clockwork aren't compatible with Amon Ra (I put them in a "nandroid" folder after changing to Amon Ra, btw).

So I was like, "No probs, I'll just put Fresh 3.2 on my SD card and wipe and start over," but when I put it into an SD card adapter and put it in my computer, I get that the drive is write protected. Any suggestions?

I read it. Sorry to hear about your EVO man.

I got my EVO through Craigslist new in box because all the Sprint stores in my area who had them in stock wouldn't sell them to people not adding a new line of service. (Which is another story in and of itself)

When I brought it in to Sprint to activate they let me add insurance and told me that I'd still be covered under warranty for a year. I would be steamed if I was in your shoes too.

Thankfully I have a HW revision 0003 and my EVO hasn't yet to display any of the known issues.

You bought the $7 plan for this very reason-- a more-than-likely behaviorally caused ding. (yes I read your post, but look at this from someone else's point of view. You had/used the phone how long before you saw this?)

Pony up the deductable and get a new phone. You realize you're costing yourself way more than $100 in grief and wasted time?

Lastly, just in case this is a defect and a recall is issued, keep your documentation on your calls to CS, claim filed, and out of pocket money. At that point you should be able to recoup your deductible among other things.
