[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
first i would post this in the Q&A section as this is a question.

CM6 is sluggish?? really wat r u doing to make it sluggish? its prolly the fastest most stable rom ive used so far besides fresh 2.4.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
For fast 2.1 I'd go with zen or NFX roms
[Hero CDMA Android Development] H4k3r4r34l:
pancake 1.5 the fastest ive ever tried
[Hero CDMA Android Development] supchaka:
I just ripped one from an RUU for her... we'll see how it runs. Otherwise I'll look into some of the others mentioned here. Thanks for the input.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] supchaka:
In case anyone wanted it, I dont know what all is floating around the hero community.

Its based off RUU 2.20.651.1 It includes the radio. It WILL wipe your Hero by default. I removed all the sprint software (cept VVM) and some of the other stuff like footprints, twitter... uhh anything but facebook. I added root explorer and wifi tether. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! See ya's

PS. it did seem to take awhile to first boot into it, Im used to the EVO so dont know how quickly the Heros come up as a norm.
[HD2 Accessories] teosnew:
Hello everyone,

Would like to share my story. I have 2 hd2's got one and was very pleased with it running winmo on it, then Android came along and I decided to get another one so I would be able to have both winmo and Android phones. And recently I have dropped 1 whilst getting out of the car and the lens got cracked its terrible to look at, few days later dropped 2nd and cracked it as well as the 1st. Now I've got 2 of them and they both cracked and have no insurance. Need to fix it but there are so many ways and places in the market so I am confused a bit. I live in London and I found local HTC repair center where I've been told to pay 125 quid to repair 1 handset. Seems awfully expensive. Could you guys share how you sorted this sort of issue please.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Accessories] ewdin:
There's an assembly/disassembly video on youtube from HTC that someone uploaded.

I bought a replacement glass from aliexpress because I had a coupon, but check eBay as well, prices are always fluctuating. Expect to pay around $50ish for the glass, $100 if you want the whole glass/LCD unit (less of a hassle to install)

I'll update with more once I get the glass, which might take a while, seeing as it's coming from China.
[TG01 General] mobenar:
Has anyone tried routing the sound to the earpiece during voip on the tg01? I have tried all the solutions and nothing seems to work.
[TG01 General] ivan1975:
Hi, I am using the TG01 with skype. I can use the standard earpiece. I have the official wm 6.5.0 orange UK

Ciao
[TG01 General] Pere:
When you say "standard earpiece" do you mean connecting an headphone to the usb to 3,5 mm adaptor or instead do you mean directing the sound to the earpiece (as phoning , in few words)

Because if you mean the second one, I can't do it, with official wm 6.5.0 Movistar and Skype.

Please confirm
[TG01 General] ivan1975:
Right, I am using the sound earpiece. I tried also a bluetooth earpiece but with skype is not working.
[TG01 General] Pere:
Sorry, once again, do you mean that the sound comes from the frontal loudspeaker (on the screen face) and not from the rear loudspeaker (on the back)?
[TG01 General] ivan1975:
Yes when I am using the bluetooth headset with skype the sound come from the frontal loudspeaker, it seems that skype is not using the headset. I tried to look in the option of skype but there isn't the possibility to choose an external headset.
[TG01 General] mobenar:
:confused:

Hi, sorry, I am also still not sure I fully understand what you are saying, you say when you are using the bluetooth headset the sound comes out of the front speaker, if so that would be the case even when you are not using the bluetooth headset; the question therefore is how have you managed to route the sound from the back speaker, which is standard for all apps aside from the phone, to the front speaker. I suspect you may be mistaken, and the sound is truly coming from the back, make sure to put your ear to the back speaker (located at the bottom of the device at the back). Let me know, thanks.
[TG01 General] ivan1975:
I think that skype is able to manage this. The sound is from the frontal speaker that you use to make normal calls.
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
Hi everyone.

I was wondering something - a lot of apps for Android (and iPhone) are basically just wikis with specific information in them, so is there some general Wiki Wrapper out there somewhere that can be used to create an info/guide app?

It's not entirely necessary but it would be nice!

Thanks

SE
[Android Software Development] Subjective Effect:
Really? There is nothing out there?

It would seem like a sensible app/platform to develop, no?

If I had the ability...
[HD2 General] Stingerrray:
Tmobile sent me the unlock code for the HD2 today. I cant figure out where to enter it. Any Ideas??? I would try and figure this out but I need to do it quick any help would be appriciated!!!!!!

Thanks.

Stingerrray
[HD2 General] spencer911:
Have you inserted a a different sim card other than the tmobile sim card. Try inserting a sim card from AT&T from one of your friends that will make the phone not recognized the sim and ask you for the unlock code. Good Luck.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Either that or use the File Explorer on your phone to navigate to the \Windows folder, then once there, scroll down and run the program called "simlock.exe" and input the code to unlock your phone.
[HD2 General] Stingerrray:
Tried the sim unlock. It took the code not sure if its unlocked or not. I ran down to wal mart and picked up a tracfone but that sim will not register. I guess I wasted 10 bucks.

Stingerrray
[HD2 General] xxraver99xx:
you have to put in a sim card from another carrier, if the phone is locked, you will get the sim lock screen where you can input the code, if it is unlocked then you won't even see the sim lock screen.

It probably didn't register the tracfone sim because it isn't activated
[HD2 General] Stingerrray:
Ya I activated the tracfone sim but it shows no connection when I turn on phone.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
It's the current thought that the HD2 doesn't support pre-paid SIMs from any carrier other than T-Mobile for whatever reason...SIM unlocked or not. Try an ATT SIM if you can and see what it does. If the SIMlock.exe program took the unlock code and didn't throw an error, then you are more than likely SIM unlocked.
[HD2 General] Stingerrray:
Yes it did do that. A message box came up that it took the unlock code so I guess its OK.

Thanks,

Robert
[HD2 General] Stingerrray:
BTW I tried to run the sim unlock program again and it would not run so I guess thats a good sign. What do you think?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Correct, if your device is succesfully unlocked, the simlock.exe program will cease to run.
[HD2 General] Stingerrray:
Thanks, You have been the greatest of help.

Stingerrray
[HD2 General] itsedstech:
Well if you got it to work then disregard the rest of this post, Im pretty sure tracofone runs off a diffrent type of network just like boostmobile which uses sim cards but runs of igen network not gsm and if thats the case it wont work with your phone.
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
Tracfone Sim Card only work on tracfone phones since they require porperiary software to read your account and display it... So thats why it wont connect since it requres the tacfone software whitch is not avaible to the public and woudn't work on anyother phone

[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
Is it safe to end the android system process? It seems to be what always keeps the phone running 100% of the time when the screen is off. I killed it while this was happening, and the percentage went down, but will this effect anything?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
What did you use to kill it?
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
I just ended the service under settings>applications>running services
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
If you ended it that way then I would say that it is safe to assume that it is ok to end it. The reason is that I don't believe the stock task manager(which you get to using the path you took) will let you end essential processes like a 3rd party app will.

TL;DR Its safe to end cuz you did it through the stock task manager

after the soft brick from the OTA updates, i had to use Odin to factory reset the phone, then flashing it to JI6. everything worked out. re rooted re lag fix, but i cant seem to mount my phone to my computer. it beeps when i connect and recharges like before but nothing else.

[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
I just received the OTA update and when I rebooted to install I pulled the battery

and booted into clockwork and pulled the delta files from /data/fota and uploaded

them.

http://www.mediafire.com/?df44pptybdcrm0h

an interesting note is that they are updating the SBL and it is exactly the same

as the one in the 3-button issue fix thread.

for any one interested in the redbend delta format here you go.
[Vibrant Android Development] gravis86:
So basically you're saying they fixed the Hardware Locked issue with the new firmware?
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
Yes, my phones have been fixed for awhile and the update was canceled when

I pulled the battery to grab the update files so I cant confirm that the SBL is

actually installed but T-mobile is sending the fix out to customers phones.
[Vibrant Android Development] LiberatorUSA:
I'm looking at the delta file format in the hopes of finding some clues on how to generate a delta file so those of us stuck on the DK28 modem with broken USB (Epic4G) can get a different modem in there.

Can you give me some more info on the discovery you made regarding your "interesting" note?

A quick look at the files shows that they are packages meant for redband. I see tons of repeating sequences so the "delta" files appear uncompressed.

I'm not sure what Im looking at,.. Are these decompressed delta files just before they are applied?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Dude you're quoting a guy from more than 6 months ago lol
[Vibrant Android Development] LiberatorUSA:
I know :P

But I dont see many other people messing with delta files,.. so I take what I can get

As most of you already know from my NFL dialpad skins thread, I'm a DIE-HARD Philadelphia Eagles Fan!! I've been skinning various items on my device and one of the latest has been for the HTC default calculator. I haven't made them for every team as they take me about 4 hour each to create. If you'd like a skin for your favorite team, leave me a request and I'll make it for ya but please be patient. You'll find cabs for the skins in both white and black backgrounds below.

All I ask, if you like and use my skins, is to leave comments and/or suggestions. Donations are not expected But always appreciated!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fAtaXe:
Hey guys..

I'm wondering what the "best" ROM is.

I'd like a release I can easily patch with z4mod and that has the best functionality (like for example I heard some releases won't work with the current Microsoft Exchange or the browser of JP6 being faster than that of JPM) which also means that no apps that provide integrated functionality for communication (like Facebook synch) are removed, whereas apps that are really unnecessary (Mini Diary, Write & Go, Latitude, Layar, Memo, Social Hub) should be removable or not included in the first place.

Until some days ago it was pretty easy since the only real ROMs where Docs Mod and Tayatuma but now lots of ROMS are popping up, some based JP6 some on JPM some use parts of both and to be honest I am kind of confused about what the best choice for someone like me would be.

Also of great concern to me is battery life. I don't need to get through 3 or 4 days but at least one day with medium to heavy usage should be possible I think?

I currently have JPH without any mods (besides OCLF & root) running but this thing eats up my whole battery at light to medium usage in less than 24 hours which just isn't cool and also the OCLF doesn't really fix the lag... Quadrant scores are around 1800 but the phone doesn't feel lagfree.

I mean I would really like to test each ROM for a few days and see which one is best, but I really don't have the time to do that especially since new ROMs get out every day.

[HTC Aria General] chopperpl:
I know it is a sensitive topic, but I'm so frustrated with ATT, and was wondering if I could get any directions from you guys.

I bought for my wife new Aria (full price) so she can collaborate with me without using her brain. Few days after the change I realized att changed her unlimited data plan to tiered one.:mad: That move really pissed me off, and I had to switch her back to old nokia to preserve unlimited plan. I used to have an iphone with this plan (unlimited data for $15/month), and it looks like they are enforcing new, more expensive plans not only on new customers, but also on existing ones.

Enough said... I would like to get some hints on changing imei, so I get to keep my old plan...

Thanks
[HTC Aria General] zeyoner:
Not 100% sure but just swap the sim and it should work. ATT are assholes for doing away with unlimited data made the mistake of losing my unlimited data plan when the iPhone 4 was released thanks iphone!
[HTC Aria General] joshua54:
I upgraded to the aria And had the unlimited data plan transfered..if u just call customer service and tell them that u have been a loyal customer for a long time now and u should be able to keep the plan u have had..u should mention being grandfathered in, be polite and tell them if they can't help u then u might be looking at other carriers. U would be amazed at the things I have gotten for free or discounted by just calling and talking to customer service..if they say they can't do it ask to be transfered to to the person who can, u might be on the phone for a minute but u can get it done I promise u:)
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
Post this same info on ATT's Facebook.

Same thing happened to me, I went from an iPhone to the Aria, and had the unlimited data removed, put a post on ATT's facebook, and within the day, I was talking to a guy who gave it back, credited my account, and gave me an additonal discount, to make my bill cheaper.
[HTC Aria General] chopperpl:
Interesting... if that's what they did to you then I may actually get somewhere. I just pulled the plug on one line to get G2 from tmo, and may threaten to close another line if they refuse to keep my plan...

If it comes to sim swap then it won't work with att branded phones. The only thing that may work (it worked with my old line) is to use unlock phone and ask them to update imei. They will mark your line as unlocked phone and never update your plan again. It worked for iphone...

Thx for your input.
[HTC Aria General] shark0807:
How much data do you actually use on your plan? I use my phone's data very regularly throughout the month and the most I've ever managed to use in a month was a gigabyte, making the $25 plan a cheaper solution than the $30 PDA Smartphone plan that preceded it.

I work in a retail position in which I handle AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile customers on a daily basis, and I have yet to meet anyone who uses more than 2GB a month, and some of these people use the phone as if they do not have a home internet service!

Thankfully AT&T has a very easy way of checking to see the monthly data usage you use, and even gives you a nice graph of the last six months of data usage, so you can decide for yourself what data plan is right for you.

"Unlimited" 3G data (w/ 5gb limit) for $30 on a smartphone is going the way of direct connect. Verizon will not be far behind with unveiling their new data plans and T-Mobile is talking about doing the same thing. I think once it is all said and done, we won't even see unlimited plans on 4G networks, especially once Sprint gets enough people back onto their service.
[HTC Aria General] cegna09:
Just do the switch yourself. If you bought the phone full price you could have gotten it anywhere besides AT&T, swapped the SIM and been on the same plan. that's what i did coming from my Fuze. I just moved the SIM card to the new phone, and it worked flawlessly. kept my unlimited plan and everything.

as for data usage. When i had my Fuze i used maybe .5gig a month, but as soon as i got the Aria my usage spiked. I use consistently well over 2 gigs a month, breaking 4 gigs in August. I don't use it for tethering, i don't download huge video files, in fact i'm pretty tame with my phone usage. I'll be keeping my unlimited plan when i get a free upgrade in January.
[HTC Aria General] chopperpl:
You sound like att spokesperson addressing all dumbasses that purchased smartphone thinking it will make them look smarter. Your data usage statistics are off, and just because you ask your customers about their data usage, it doesn't mean it makes you right. I have observed the data usage by mobile devices in the enterprise I manage in the past 3 years. It seems people spend more time using internet driven apps when their experience improves. That pretty much means the faster mobile network becomes the more bandwidth is consumed. Another huge impact on data usage comes from pushed advertisement. People love free apps, but in order to support brightminded developers those apps have to display small banners. lets do quick math here... each banner is about 5KB. Popular apps rotate them in intervals of 10s, or display new ad whenever you go to new page. If your phone supports multitasking, for example new iphone, then if you don't close the app (for example weather app) it may actually keep rotating those ads in the background eating up your bandwidth. That's 5KB every 10s throughout billing cycle gives us total of about 1.3GB each month. That's based on single app that probably won't be running 24/7, but you may have few of such apps running at the same time, so this will definitely bring you close to that number.

Now, lets talk about 4G, and your assumption of all carriers going with tiered plans. I've been enjoying my G2 over HSPA+ so much. You tube videos are actually in visible quality now. Those very same videos over att 3g were just a joke, and waste of time. What do you think how much bandwidth those HQ videos consume? How about video calls? How about flash driven apps? Limiting users to tiered plans would mean blocking all those services, and worse it would bring technology development for mobile devices to a halt (at least in US).

Mobile carriers are facing very hard times. There is more bandwidth demand than they estimated. ATT for example chose greed, and decided to oversubscribe their infrastructure hoping iphone will save them. Verizon however, invested in their network to ensure they can handle the growth. They all should be thankful to Apple for stealing the name "smartphone", and introducing it to masses in the form of a dumbphone. That move changed the industry, and right now we're all paying for it through higher cost, development by spending more time rooting devices than coding new apps, and reliability. I love my mac, but I hate Jobs for the iphone so much...
[HTC Aria General] chopperpl:
Aria is the only woman friendly (small) android phone that supports att 3G. I paid for it $300 (new). Legacy, which seems to be pretty much same phone is $200 more, and doesn't support att 3g frequencies. It looks like att is getting better in cat/mouse game. I may just have to threaten to leave, to get something done...

BTW

any android phone is concidered by att as smartphone, and they require smartphone plan with it. My wife previously had unlocked nokia, so they did not know what kind of phone it was, and allowed regular $15/month unlimited data plan. Once you put your sim into device that they have in their database they enforce on you smartphone plan that's currently available. If her previous plan was unlimited data for smartphone ($25/month), then I agree, she would be able to keep it.
