redownload the .tar and 13 pitt file with the newest odin i had issues with it hanging on mine too hence many bricks your files could be corrupted
[Vibrant General] ProximaC:
Ok, downloading the PIT and JFD again fixed it. I am now back to stock.

Thanks everyone! You are life savers.
[Vibrant General] cybertang:
no prob i bricked my phones so many times its almost a joke if i dont brick it im not happy
[Vibrant General] thenotoriouspie:
Why does everyone think getting bricked is such a horrible thing? I mean you can get a fresh replacement. I would love to get a brand new vibrant. That reminds me if I got my vibrant used do you think if it bricked with the update I could get a new one free of charge?
[Vibrant General] zerosource:
if getting a new vibrant, will the previous purchased apps be able to use on a new vibrant?
[Vibrant General] ProximaC:
I've bricked and recovered a few times, but this time it was a screen I'd not seen before and I couldn't get it into download mode at all using the methods I'd been using successfully before. So yeah, I was a bit more stressed this time. Also, when I've bricked before, it was my fault. This time it was the OTA that did it. Somehow that made it worse.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] el-grosso:
i must be doing something wrong. i just got a new laptop with windows 7 and attached my htc hero, and it automatically installed my drivers, but when i download the android sdk and try to partition the SD card on my phone, it just says 'device not found'. do i have to install drivers for my htc hero or something? thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigballa:
The easiest way I do it is in windows 7 go to the sdk folder. In the top right of the window search for adb. Copy all three files.

Adb.exe and 2 adb...dll files.

Go to the Windows folder in the c drive. Then system32 and paste those files in there.

Go into your phone settings - applications - development and turn on debugging. Unplug and replug in the phone and go to cmd and type adb devices. Should show up.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
I finally get 4g by my house.... but the weird thing is it connects only when I'm inside my house and not outside. I get like 2 to 4 bars of 4g but when I browse web pages they tend not to load all the way and eventually time out.... if I refresh the page a few times it will eventually load. This doesn't happen when I'm on 3g....

Is it just that I have poor 4g reception? A bad evo or what?

BTW I'm on ava v9 with kingx #10.
[EVO 4G General] om4:
wimax is too broad, it really would make some sense that you cant get a signal if the only signal is being cut down by buildings, in front of my complex we can get 4g, inside my apartment i get decent 4g but any further into the complex and i have to be pretty line of site to get a working signal
[EVO 4G General] intel i7 quad:
maybe thay have jammers
[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
I have had signal issues like this before, just where I'm on the edge of signal.

I played with the wimax settings and it is a lot more reliable now. You should search for the thread, I can't remember the title, something about better 4g for longer. It works really well. You can change how often the radio scans for signal, and how easy it drops a signal once it has it.

Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
I found the page with the 4g tweaks and it helped a little but what I think helped more was to use a different browser than the stock one... right now I'm using dolphin hd and it seems to load pages fine.... even if it don't fully load it displays what is downloaded so far.

The odd thing about my wimax settings was that a lot of it was set to a value of 10.... even the dbm ones.

Here are the link to the tweaks if anyone wants them:

[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
Ok I still cant load all pages while on 4g and using dolphin hd browser. It is slightly better though.

I also get that wimax signal is supposed to be stronger while outdoors rather than indoors but I can only connect while in doors and especially in my room.... now that I think of it I do have a new airave unit in my room..... does airave transmit 4g?
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
I still cant figure out the issue....maybe its just poor 4g signal...

I still get 1-2 bars of 4g...
[Hero CDMA General] KrayzieVanh:
Anyone know how much the Hero is going for in stores? I want to add one to my current plan. I have only been able to find it listed in a few places:

BestBuy - $99

Sprint - $250 (150 with M.I.B)

Radio Shack - Not sold

Wal-Mart - Not sold

Wirefly - Not sold

$99 from best buy is the lowest I found. Is that high?
[Hero CDMA General] debh945:
They are .01 on Amazon but I had to type in my zip code for that price. It may be different in your area.
[Hero CDMA General] KrayzieVanh:
Just tried that. There's no option to "add to current plan". I guess this is only for new users. That would of been a great deal!
[Hero CDMA General] xjayman:
new line of service only. best buy is the cheapest, every now and then they put it on sale. I purchased mine in mach for 79 and have seen it for as low as 49.
[Hero CDMA General] debh945:
My bad. I thought if you were adding a line to your contract it was a new line of service.
[Hero CDMA General] rockypr:
Here in Puerto Rico. In RadioShack it is Free.
[Hero CDMA General] painter_:
I see them on craigslist for between $100 - $150. Why would you use an upgrade to get a Hero?
[Hero CDMA General] elessarelfstar:
You can sometimes even find them for 75 or 80 on craigslist. Just make sure call Sprint to make sure the esn is clean before u hand over the cash.
[Hero CDMA General] ASimmons:
I would never buy electronics off of craigslist, I can't count how many threads that start with "i bought this off of craigslist" and there suck in hboot or have bad esn. Buy it from the store, then you'll have the warranty.
[Hero CDMA General] xjayman:
it should be !lol sucks when new customers get better deals than loyal existing customers.
[Hero CDMA General] KrayzieVanh:
Amazon has a seperate wireless store (beta) that gives the option of upgrading or adding additional lines. For some reason Sprint is not part of the store. Supposed to be added "soon".
[Hero CDMA General] ghlu:
Sprint is selling refrub version online for $79.99 outright. Should be a better option than buying from craigslist or use your upgrade credit.
[Hero CDMA General] Asadullah:
I think that the moral of this story is don't waste your upgrade getting a hero. Only get one from craigslist if you got balls of steel and know what your doing. If there is a refurbished phone from sprint for an outright price of 79 bucks get that. I'm sure it will have some kind of warranty.

I bought one from craigslist first of the guys story of I signed up for sprint but didn't like there service so I went back to at&t soon proved to be a lie when after a few minutes of talking to me he was trying to sell me four different phones from sprint. Everything worked great on the phone but when I got back home I noticed that the screen was dimmer than my other hero not much it was the only problem but it bothered the hell out off me. I ended up selling it for $125, 75 bucks less than What I paid for it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerod:
Does anyone have any information or insight in to what role, if any, the SIM might play in preventing restoral to 100% stock. The question, of course, assumes the SIM is left in when mod the phone with another ROM, kernal, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsooley:
over at the i9000 forum they say when flashing or restoring if you dont remove the sim it will lock the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerod:
I did have that happen to me on my first try of an I9000 Froyo ROM (forgot to take it out). Since then, I've done a lot of flashing and not had that happen again (left it in cause the directions for the ROM's I was flashing said nothing about taking the SIM out).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecitypaper:
I'm not certain this is an issue specific to the Evo or the Gmail app in general, but...I can not preview attachments (jpeg's specifically) in most emails dated within the last week. Almost everything older than a week previews/downloads fine, with a few exceptions. This issue occurs whether I'm using 3G or WiFi.

Any ideas?

edit: To be clear, what happens is that the Gmail app gets stuck on the "Fetching Attachment, please wait..." window indefinitely on the attachments in question. To be more clear...these attachments open fine on my computer. This problem is specific to the Gmail app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyo78:
I'm having exactly the same problem with the gmail app on my Dell Streak, this only started after i updated to Android 2.2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
I had that happen this morning, when I tried to open a pdf that was attached to an email in my Gmail account. I decided to uninstall Adobe Reader, reboot, and reinstall. Once done, everything works just fine. Not sure what you should do ... just giving my experience and perhaps a little insight.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghostcreamy:
Same issue on two different TMobile G2's. On the first, I never got it to pull an attachment. On the second, it worked for the first day or two. I thought the first must be a lemon, but now it has started on this one.

The only thing I can correlate is that the last attachment I 'fetched' had to open the included QuickOffice.

Why do people need gps on their phones? this is a serious question

I have never needed or used gps in my life

I like using maps better I guess
[Epic 4G General] fooo1:
My biggest uses:

Find restaurants/activities near me to try new things (or in a new location)

Geo-caching - fun way to hike

Navigation - maps are dangerous and slow to use in a car, annoying to carry, and out of date depending on your source. Phones aren't the best for this but Android's Navigation is basically the cream of the crop.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Um if you dont know what good a gps is you really need to get into the tech. age.

I use it for EVERYTHING.

The real key is that I use google maps to look up anyone or anything around me. My friends all use latitude on weekend nights so we can find each other. If my gps doesn't show where I am how are friends supposed to find me?

I use it for pizza on a random night... or out on the boat when I'm going to a restaurant on the water.....or on a Friday afternoon when traffic is horrible and I want an alternate route.

There's plenty of reasons why the GPS NEEDS TO ACTUALLY WORK on this phone.
[Epic 4G General] <3me:
Well I'm not making an excuse for the gps problems I just have never needed gps is all

barely any of my friends have an android phone

Still stuck on blackberry and feature phones
[Epic 4G General] kynetx:
I use GPS to navigate around unfamiliar locations. I cannot memorize the entirety of the planet's geography so I must rely on tools to bridge this particular shortcoming and I cannot safely read a map while driving.

What the hell did you expect?
[Epic 4G General] <3me:
Just hoping for something I could use:-)
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Google navigation is the best, ur in an unfamiliar city,got the munchies, u long press search button and say "navigate to subway" and voila! Ur guided to ur destination. And u hear oooh and aaah from ur buddies...

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Gosh. Where to start: Geocaching; geotagging photos ("the accident|family snapshot|scenery is right here"); tracking athletic runs (Cardio Trainer, etc); self-geocoding of addresses to avoid intellectual property issues with online geocoding sources; geocoding any physical object surveyed for a multitude of GIS applications and databases; "I am here" apps for emergency use; wardriving; geo-based social networking; geo-based shopping (Barcoder, Shop Savvy, etc.); calibrating speedometer and odometer; orienteering; mapping trails; tracking hikes and bike rides; of course, real-time vehicular navigation; recording and analyzing delivery routes ...

The list is really open-ended, and is expanding as democratized GIS, mapping, and GPS functionalities expand.

The integration of GPS with other technologies on the "phone" -- really a pocket computer that happens to make phone calls and is enhanced by cell-based GPS hybrid location and thus orders of magnitude more useful than a dedicated GPS receiver-- is what provides the power. I can be driving down the highway at lunch, speak "Taco Bell" into my phone, and it will find the closest choices with directions on a dynamic map.

This is why an accurate and functioning GPS is integral to Android smartphones. It enables things you didn't even conceive of, and services still being invented.
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
Geographically-based "to do" items, so the phone alerts you when you're getting off the freeway and reminds you to stop at the grocery store to buy toilet paper and cat food on the way home from work.

Location-aware ringer preferences. At the office, it turns down the ringer volume so half the floor doesn't hear the theme from The Great Giana Sisters (starting at 2:18) performed by Machinae Supremacy whenever somebody calls ;)

Lol....I always say the same thing to my wife...I took of off my phone. Personally I think the **** is a waste on a phone. I can find almost anything I need without it. Although I am not one who travels throughout the country or has to make business trips to unfamiliar locations. So I can see pros and cons
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Well then you need to expand your horizions :) Sometimes it's fun to go get lost and then of course have a nice gps to bring you home.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I use sprint nav when me and my friends get lost on a random night in the car or when we're driving with no where to go, I'll use sprint nav to get us to some random restaurant in another state or something.

I also use google maps to find trainstations nearby when I'm in some random part of the city. And when I went to my friends college 7 hours away, thebus had to make a random stop and I used it to figure out where I was.

Its also entertaining to ride a train and see a little blue arrow scrolling across the screen following your path with a Speedometer.

If you have intimateknowledge ofplaces bfore hand, then you have no reason for a gps considering you clearly don't care about the tecnology. This gps bug effects quite a few people adversely. I for one didn't realize how much I used gps until I upgraded from my hero :(
[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
Dang, you must have a pretty limited set of places you go...

Except for going between work, home and the grocery store, I almost *never* know where I'm going. That's called "exploring your surroundings" and "finding new things to do".
[Epic 4G General] BrianDigital:
ok since you dont use them so i should not either...........I for one do like reading a map while driving and guessing when my upcoming turn is actually coming up......

I have a series question why do you care why I need/want a gps in my phone....
[Epic 4G General] <3me:
thats a great series of questions sir the answer is i do not care why i was hoping there might be something im missing like a feature thats too awesome for words or at least really useful

and to the first part its not a hate thread chill out

also read the map before you go so you dont have to read while driving *hits staples button*

actually its not that limited i worked for fedex so i generally know where i am going though i dont travel alot

So i just rooted my droid for the first time today. I have a motorola droid running on 2.2 and i used root version 1.8.

Now that i have it rooted, what do i do next? :confused: iv tried reading some different websites but it just confuses me. How do i make it look cooler (different themes, icons, widgets, ect.) i know i need roms but where do i find them, and once i find them how do i put it on my phone. any help would be greatly appreaciated.

As of 5PM EST Sprint is having service issues and appears to be most areas (per conversation with tier 2 tech support).

Service is back up in more areas but still expect intermittent issues. Can personally verify Chicagoland is working.

I'm sorry for any inconvince this may have caused. Anyone who is here to pay a bill or needs anything else pls form a line. Thank you."

I seriously made a mess of my today bought HTC Ameo(Dutch T-mobile). Enthousasticly I tried to unlock, first try stuck at second step and second try stuck at third step. After that I couldnt do anything with the HTC, except the boot screen, so I tried to update to WM 6.5 and the result you can see in the attachments.

I know have:

Strange colors and:

S 02

G 00

B 05

On the right

R 1.16.00.00

G 32.63.7018.01H

4.00

This text disappears and the HTC won’t react at anything. Shutting down is geting the battery out and the only thing that works is the reset button.

Before I mess up even more, please help!!! ( I tried to downgrade, but I got message invalid updater)
