[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerbak:
Hey everyone. I'm using a HTC Hero G2 GSM phone running froydvillain and I love it. I recently ran into a problem. I've been out drinking and suddently my phone asks for my sim code. I totally forgot my sim code and tried whatever I could think of, but after three attempts, my phone locked asking for a PUK code.

I'm in possesion of my PUK and my pin code but I don't know where to type it in. On the lock screen there's only some information about looking for the user guide or customer care and no option for typing in the PUK code.

Please help me and thanks in advance ;)

-Regards: Me

EDIT: I found a fix for the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayferer:
If you don't mind, what was the fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerbak:
I tried using the search function for once and most of the posts didn't have a reply, but considering I was partly drunk when I wrote, then I'm quite stubborn and I found some dude who had written this:

And my phone provider had sent me my PUK code in an old e-mail which I fortunately had saved in case I would need it.

And on the part where to write it, I simply pressed the "emergency call" button and wrote it with the keyboard there..

Hope this answers your question :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayferer:
Cool, thanks :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFauteux:
Hey everyone. I have an issue with my phone. When i go to change my ringtone volume from the homescreen, it changes the media volume. I reboot the phone and it adjusts the standard volume for the ringtone. After a while, it goes back to only adjusting the media volume from the homescreen. Even after i use advanced task killer to kill all applications. Is there any way to fix this issue? It is becoming very annoying to have to reboot my phone 3 times a day. Thanks again!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tchem:
if you have headphones in then it will change media volume, do you have your heaphones or any other device connected to you phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFauteux:
nope not at all. I mean i love the phone but this is getting crazy. I still have a worthless GPS after flashing the new files and this issue going on. I think its software related because the media volume doesnt get stuck after inserting any headphones in the jack. So i really have no idea.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anibalin:
same here.

Was about to post the same issue.

Somehow I get the "media volume" instead of "ringer volume".

If I reset the device it gets fixed.

If a play a game, and then exit, it gets screwed again.

Checked for any app in memory but its empty.

Whats wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
The volume rocker checks for what activity you're doing currently. If you're using media player or Navigation or games, the volume will be 'Media Volume'. If you played a game and exited, and your volume stuck with the 'Media Volume', it is probably the issue with that game who didn't properly reset the environment when exited.

Note, even if you're on Home screen, if you still have those apps running, your volume will stay that way. If you want to change ringer volume, just lauch phone dialer and change there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anibalin:
Thanks for your reply foxbat :)

Thats what I thought too. That there should be somehting in the background still running so the phone still thinks its on it so the volume would be set to media.

However, I have 0 active apps running and even when I go to phone mode the control buttons on the side still shows media volume instead of ringer.

Thanks again for your time mate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
Your issue seems to be related to a particular game you played. That's the issue with game itself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anibalin:
Gonna test it out a bit more.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catmandu:
Why doesn't any DInc roms or themes ever change up the 3G/signal/wifi icons? Unless I passed over a rom or theme, I don't see any. It seems there are so many Evo/droid themes and roms that have these sweet icons and I'm jealous!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
There are plenty of roms and themes that change that image. Try the smoothsense changes or Cyanogenmod with a Galaxy S theme. I know I have seen others but can't remember them.
[Touch GSM General] iwanarifs:
Hi there, i am newbie. and i think i have read a lot of here to effort to revive my device.

The device wouldn't weak up again after upgrading ROM to winmo 6.5. during ROM updating, the progress was not shown on the device, and suddently reported that updating failed. Since then i can not effort to do run on bootloader mode, even i follow to press volume down + soft reset.

can anyone help me, please.

Tx.:mad:
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
There are many ways to enter the bootloader (from the wiki http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Elf.png):

Hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.

-An alternative way to enter bootloader:

Switch the device off by long pressing O/I (power) button. hold down the camera button while pressing the O/I button about 1 second. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.

=Alternative(universal?) bootloader(3)

As almost all htc smartphones with onboard camera, when you push and hold the camera(photo) button, and plug in usb adapter. Even a "stupid" usb power adapter will work.

Good luck!
[Touch GSM General] iwanarifs:
Thank you bro tito12,

But my device is HTC touch diamond which no camera button on it. Refer to the article, it was mentioned to do with volume down and red reset stylus. but no respons. I also follow this thread:

I uninstalled my market because I couldn't download anything from the market then I restored it with titanium backup and now it doesn't even open does anyone know how to fix this
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jellum81:
Works like a charme on my i9000. Thx

Btw will this work on the Galaxy Ace?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Clear your market cache/data next time you have that issue.

As for the market app, you can get it on their website I believe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgy76:

[Epic 4G General] Xemantic:
My GPS totally stopped working after the update. What gives?
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I have the same issue. It was bad before but no totally unusable. Samsung needs to get their act together and release froyo.
[Epic 4G General] Xemantic:
Hey bro try this, it's annoying but it worked for me. Turn off wifi, then go to "settings> location & security" and disable "use wireless networks" restart the phone and gps should be working. This is how a few other people have got the gps goin again after the update. it might or might not stop working when you turn wifi on again after gps is working
[Epic 4G General] spf2722:
No issues indoors or out.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
D107 changed the relationship between screen brightness and perceived ambient light. Prior to this update, the brightness vs. ambient light was PERFECT. Now, it's too dim in low-light conditions!
[Epic 4G General] tommydaniel:
Same here and nothing seems to be helping
[Epic 4G General] DevilDogVIKING:
I'm not having any gps issues. It actually locks on faster than it did before. I got a lock within 3 seconds inside my house.

I just got my OTA for D107. I heard alot of people were having problems that if they were rooted it wouldn't install. I didn't have that problem at all. I am rooted and it installed just fine plus I've had no problems with my paid apps or the market.

What I did was when the OTA came in I clicked on "more info", then I clicked on "Reboot and Install" or "Restart and Install". I can't remember exactly what it was. It turned off, it installed, and then started the phone. Everything works great including the media hub, paid apps, and the market.
[Epic 4G General] tommydaniel:
Alright so I got mine working. Started Sprint Nav and had it search for something, it came back and said no GPS could be found, backed out and exited the program and openeds maps and it worked. Foursquare is working now too..
[Epic 4G General] dumpringz:
yea it sucks .
[Epic 4G General] Senater_Cache:
Agreed, I have the exact same issue, and it has led to me turning off the auto-brightness function...
[Epic 4G General] jfenton57:
Sprint Nav used to work fine.

This morning on a 40 minute drive to a photo shoot in Boston, it lost GPS 4 times without a cloud in the sky and twice when it came back up, it thought I was in Rhode Island.

is this what they call GPS Enhancements?
[Epic 4G General] Annihil8or:
I like my screen pretty dim so this kinda makes me happy... Different strokes for different folks it looks like.
[Epic 4G General] id_twin:
GPS is locking on satellite, however I can only get it to put me within a 30 meter proximity.
[Epic 4G General] jfenton57:
The 30 meter distance is apparently coded into the software of the phone so pay not attention to it as it doesn't mean squat.
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Just stumbled across this little vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksZoMkV75ig) and I thought it was kinda interesting and give a bit of hope for the future for the phone maybe :p

It's of Dell announcing how they are going to try and intergrate the Dell Streak into the medical health system to digitize patient information for quick and easy access for all medical staff.

I think this is a pretty good idea but why now and why with the Dell Streak? Don't get me wrong, I love the Streak but we've had PDAs and stuff for ages, so how come this hasn't been done earlier?

Thoughts?
[Streak 5 General] gypsydigi:
Great Link! +1
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
Lol, just checked out randomly some of the vids on the side, seems that this vid is pretty much exactly the same as another announcement that Dell made last November and the dude has pretty much just replaced Dell Mobile Clinical Computing with Dell Streak :D (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rsDdb2PEXk&feature=related)
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
so their just implementing the device for another use. Thats good for the device but the way i see it (and what upsets me) is the device isn't being adopted by the majority. For us streak owners that means less mods (no cyangenmod and such) so we as streak users have to it upon us to start learning new things (which i and a couple others are) to get the ball rolling.

This is a great device, its just up to us users to make the most out of it, and we have to stop being lazy and expect others to do it for us..
[Streak 5 General] Muo:
To be honest, that is the future for tablets. Tablets (or small MIDs) are going to take over the world with 1 in nearly everyone's hand. I find it fascinating that Dell is actually pushing this on the medical industry with the Streak.

Thanks for the link :D
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I think its good news all round for us :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gargon01:
Hi Guys,

I've been using Swype for about the last 6 months on the Windows Mobile side of things and it was probably the first app I looked for once I made the switch to Android. I opened a thread asking for a version I could use on Android and someone kindly pointed me in the direction of one. I have been using it for about the last 2-3 months on dans froyo build and it was fine. I made the switch to Hyperdroid yesterday and today I got 'your trial period has ended. please upgrade your copy of swype'. I still get the keyboard but I can't Swype!!!

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing and keep getting the same problem. If anyone can post a working up-to-date version and/or help me with my problem? Any help would be much appreciated, it's the only keyboard for me now.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastajest:
Swype is no longer free, you need to purchase it in order to use the latest version. And people can no longer post it in these forums. Sorry, dude.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gargon01:
Is the official Android version available for purchase? I can't find it anywhere. I'll pay!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastajest:
Just use google. I'm sure you'll find what you need.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgtoys:
Not 100% sure about this one but one of the guys from Swype came through the forums a while back and said something like their working on the final version, and until it comes out their won't be a full version available. I think that was the jist of it.

I have version 1.56 for Android and it hasn't expired, I've had no problems with it on any Android build I've used. PM me for more information ;)

UPDATE:

Just checked the Swype website, no download links, here's what I found:

------

Swype Beta for Android™

The Swype Beta is CLOSED

June 2010: Thanks for your interest, the Beta is now closed.

Please register here and we will notify you when the beta re-opens.

------

This confirms what I said, no final version yet, it was just beta testing. Not quite sure why mine still works, but no complaints :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leginag:
Fair enough. But it doesn't appear on the marketplace or anywhere else to buy...

I'm using the 1.56 version...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastajest:
Yes, sorry you can't purchase it either :o

But, as I said on my previous post: Google ;);)

on another note, this thread would be more appropriate on a general forum rather than in this development one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datfoooo:
Swype is on mattc download. Download his build and it comes with it, if not pm me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gargon01:
All I can find are Beta's. Am I blind? Can someone point me in the right direction. As I said, I'm not looking for warez, I'll pay for the official one if it exists.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgtoys:
Read my above post. I promise it's the truth! That's why you can't find it on the market. Weird, I'm using 1.56 with no issues...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjones1983:
The version I have, and have been using on every build for the last month or so is 1.61.37.8128_WVGA800_by_jd ... according to the long ass file name lol. It's a great version, much better than the 1.56 I previously had. Bold letters, less annoying "click" sounds. I love it. Which is why I've kept the APK of it on my SD card the whole time...</hint>

Have faith if it is stock in a rom it will appear somewhere
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgtoys:
I think this thread is bad luck, ha! My swype has been working fine and now it doesn't work, after I was saying it did!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bityfne:
actually.. the swype version most of us have been using is the 1.56.. that was the last or second to last release of the beta version which expired back in may. some1 dunno who apparently cracked the expiration lock so we could keep using it. .. i think what they did now was just reset the timer or whatever.. so thats why every1's is expiring again today
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtncrespo1@msn.com:
Can you please post a link where we can download??? I'm dying without swype, android is completely different without swype (even considering switching back to winmo because I text alot)

Please help, TIA

If you having problem locating it, please give SlideIT a go. IMO, it is faster. After tried both keyboards before for 3 months.

I'll only suggesting, not forcing other to think what is the best ^_^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Slide IT isn't as good as Swype in my view, it seems to be smoother but the functionality (especially the correction method) leaves a lot to be desired.

Hi --

Anybody have this problem?

I have my phone plugged into my car stereo via the headphone jack. I've got the bluetooth headset on because I want to make a call. When I hit the button on my bluetooth, the music comes through my headset, at full volume no less, and I can't hear the voice dial prompts.

So, I'd like to overcome this problem. Does anybody have a solution, workaround or app that they're familiar with that will solve this problem? I'm losing the hearing in my right ear :( .

Oh, yeah, I have an Evo 4g if it matters.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm new here and am a novice with rooting. I rooted my phone and installed the 2.1 rom that looked like the original. I really don't like the look of the "vanilla" or "darkened" modified roms.

My question is if there's a 2.2 rom designed like my 2.1 stock looking rom. I don't remember the exact rom I installed, but if you guys need it for reference I can try to find it again.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tj13:
There are basicly four 2.2 roms to choose from for the Eris. You would need to try them for your self. I've tried all of them myself. None of them look like 2.1. If you like your 2.1 rom, why don't you simply apply another theme to it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
If by "stock like" you mean 2.2 with HTC Sense then no there are no 2.2 roms like that. A vanilla rom would be the closest to "stock like" as you can get.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
I had a Evo before and the Android System used maybe 15% of the battery (as seen in the battery stats section of the settings.) Now I have an Evo with far worse battery life, and it says that 55% of the juice is being used by Android System? Anyone know why, or how to fix it? These are essentially stock Evos, no rooting or such. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] bharris25:
Mine says 30% right now but that's with me playing on it for a while tonight. Try a battery pull, or reset it.
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
Click on it and see how many apps "android system" contains. Also if you havent made any phone calls or used 3rd party apps to much "android system" will occupy most of the battery.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
Ok, did some research and found that people have been having issues with version 1 of the HTCfacebook app keeping the phone awake all the time and killing the battery. Seems.it.can not he deleted on non-rooted phones, but I did force close it and the drain on the battery seems to have slowed, and the system is down to 30% battery usage. now, does anyone know how I might delete this app without root? (this is the app which comes preinstalled and runs all the time in the background, not the one downloaded from the market.)
[EVO 4G General] sintricate:
Did you make sure it's not set for auto sync using the HTCfacebook app?
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
You should be able to update it to the newer version that fixed that issue. No need to delete.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
How does one update the preinstalled version? Thx.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I re-read one of your posts and noticed that its the htc facebook that's giving you the problem.

You should be able to download facebook for android (ver. 1.3.2 I believe) on the market and that should become your default facebook app and solve your issue.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
Thanks lovethyEVO, I have done that but the default app keeps running in the background
[EVO 4G General] wampuscat:
Wonder if you went to settings, applications, and found the bad fb. App. Then hit clear defaults. Now set the upgraded version as default. Idk. It might work
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Was going to suggest an autostarts type of app, since you can't uninstall it unless your rooted, but it looks like you have to be rooted on autostarts also. You can maybe try to find one that doesn't need root, or an autokill type of app. You can't uninstall it, but maybe you can keep it under control.
