[Hero CDMA General] bholoo:
Hey, im pretty new to all of this, so pardon my "mess-ups"

First off, I want to make clear that i take no liability for what happens to your phone, but all of this is relatively safe, so don't worry.

It concerns all the people who are worrying about Hero "lag" (which is pretty much everyone) and of you want to make it faster, take a look at what I did.

Okay, enough with the talk. Lets get started.

Here's some prerequisites that you need to have to speed up your hero:

Advanced Task Killer (Free, Android Market)

Launcher Pro (Free, Android market, but paid version is better)

(Optional: ROOT: You can do this using super one click:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...d-samsung-captivate-with-super-one-click-app/ )

For optional, root your phone before proceeding.

The main key to Hero lag (in my opinion) is HTC sense. If you install launcher pro from android market, you remove sense, but get a nice, simple launcher from android market. Play with it by going into preferences. I currently have five screens, 3D app drawer, and a a 5 and 7 app drawer speed. Its REALLY fast. With the paid version, you can get app resizing, and more widgets. Thats about it. oh, and did i mention you get a LANDSCAPE HOME SCREEN?!?! (girly shrieks)

As for the Advanced Task Killer, download it, and put the widget on your homescreen, and click it everytime your phone lags.

If you have rooted your phone, install terminal emulator, and follow this guide (http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/), and remove all stock apps that you never use.

If you have any extra tips, feel free to comment below.

(P.S), if you have any way to get of the keyboard lag while texting, please comment, because even with no vibrate/sound it sometimes lags)

(P.P.S) This method works on any ROM. Use it with CM6 for ultimate awesomeness.
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Don't use a task killer, use Autokiller instead. Not a task killer, but does allow you to kill problematic apps if need be (2.2 allows you to do this as well).
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
If you are unrooted and use lp or adw, sense is not removed. If you go that route, remove all widgets an icons from your sense screens. Also, no task killer. They cause more problems than what they're worth. Use the running apps to close anything.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
E

Yeah, they don't remove the Sense framework, just the launcher. If you're going to stay unrooted, it definitely helps.
[Hero CDMA General] c00ller:
The most sure-fire way to speed up the phone is to root and run a custom ROM. Any custom ROM will be faster than a stock release thanks to the developer's tweaks. If you want to stay closer to stock, look into nfinitefx45's ROMs.

Agreed with others, don't use a task killer. Only use the root-only "AutoKiller".
[Hero CDMA General] bholoo:
Question: what do you mean by "use running apps to close anything". Sorry im sorta noobish at this, but what problems DO task killers cause? Because i haven't had any.
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
they can close things that don't need to be closed. Also, they constantly run in the background, taking up ram and precious cpu cycles (which we don't have a lot to spare... lol). Using auto killer, you can change your ram free settings, and let android kill what isn't needed to free up ram. I run it at optimum on cm6... it's the lowest I could run and keep everything very snappy, and any higher and apps close as soon as I exit them, killing my multi tasking. (i.e., I can exit my browser, send a text, and when I go back to browser it doesn't have to reload the page)
[Hero CDMA General] jeadly:
App Killers have their uses; but...

As I understand it, Android manages its processes differently than many people are used to thinking about. More free memory isn't necessarily a good thing in Android. So when you kill all Apps, you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Sure, you might get that one misbehaving app, but there are all kinds of well-behaving app casualties. Mostly you should use a task manager to view stats on resource usage to identify bad apps and then get rid of them.

(sorry, no url link for n00bs) lifehacker.com/5650894/android-task-killers-explained-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them

Also, yes Sense is much slower than cm6 and I haven't even been tempted to go back.
[Hero CDMA General] bholoo:
OHHH! yea thats why android 1.5 always crashed when killing tasks. Thanks. So whats a better way to free up memory? Oh, and does anyone have a way of launcher pro actually working with Cm6? Because it seems to sorta do the animations and tasks in a "play by play" sort of way. Thats why i reverted back to stock rom. Sorry about all the questions, im still pretty new to the whole android thing.
[HTC Excalibur] lebero:
HI,

often ( five - six times a week ) when I start to write text ( sms or email ) I meet a bug. I cannot write letters but only the numbers on the keypad. I've tried to change the writing options without solving the problem.

To solve the problem I need to restart th unit!

I have Xt9 enabled.

can anyone help me?

thanks a lot.

lebero
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
and what rom are U running :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] lebero:
sorry for the delay in my answer...

I'm using last 3VO ROM! [Build 3VO.3.50.033010] and the problem apperars randomly!

Sometime, when I start to edit a new message only the numbers are accepted on the keyboard! ( for example I can only write "4" and I connot write "s" )

I need to restart the unit to solve the problem!!!

thanks a lot for your help!!!

regards

Salvatore

yes, I've tried!!!

Normally everything is OK.

the problem appears
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
This seems to be a pretty common problem lately: I've had it, and at least three others that I know of have had it. Luckily, there's a pretty simple fix.

Known Symptoms:

-Notification bar will say "3G," and appear to be connected, only to disappear (from the notification bar) after opening an internet-using application (at which point there will be no internet).

-Notification bar will only say "1X," and only 1X speeds.

-Settings --> Wireless & networks, mobile data will keep saying "turning on," without actually turning on.

Fix:

0. Disclaimer: You take responsibility for your own actions. The following is merely a replication of the steps that worked for me.

1. Do a nandroid.

2. Do a factory reset:

----Settings --> SD & phone storage --> Factory reset --> Reset phone.

----Phone will reboot, show a Clockworkmod-like screen, then reboot again.

If you have 3G, skip to Step 4, congratulations. If not, continue onto Step 2.

2. RUU. This will restore your phone to stock ROM, and wipe as much of the data as possible.

----Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IH461NS4

----MD5: 784d7d55d987ed5afa7b10a30b402fb4

----Put PB31IMG.zip on the root of your SD card.

----BE SURE TO HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY.

----Boot into bootloader (vol-down + power), wait a minute for it to load / unzip, and select yes to update.

----Phone will reboot again into bootloader, wait a minute for it to load / unzip, and then select yes to update, wait a minute or to for it to update, and then yes to reboot.

----Phone will now reboot into stock ROM. Go through the set-up.

If you have 3G, skip to Step 4, congratulations. If not, continue to Step 3.

3. Factory reset:

----Settings --> SD & phone storage --> Factory reset --> Reset phone.

----Phone will reboot, show a Clockworkmod-like screen, then reboot again into Setup-like screen.

----Follow prompts, eventually getting to "Activate" and follow directions.

If you have 3G, continue onto Step 4, congratulations. If not, please post info, and I'll try to help as best I can.

4. Read Notes.

Notes:

-Reroot with unrevoked.

-I'm not sure whether a nandroid restore will maintain the fix, but I think it will (not mess anything up).

-The problem seems to occur with something being corrupted outside of ROM files, so that's why different ROMs don't alleviate the problem.

---More specifically, the problem seems to be related to doing a *228 on an Evo ROM. Nothing's wrong with using a ported Evo ROM, just don't *228 it.

---Not saying a *228 is DIRECTLY the cause of it, but there definitely seems to be some correlation.

Please report back if this works! (Or if it doesn't...)

So far: 100% =]

So I did a factory reset on my redemption ROM, but when I restarted it, it just brought me back to my homescreen with my accounts deleted.. and the problem still there. Do I need to totally wipe, flash a fresh redemption ROM, then when it prompts me for set up use wifi to get through, then factory reset?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
why not just say, do a nandroid, wipe and restore nandroid.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Michael_:
My brother had the same issue using virtuous 3.1. What fixed it for him was changing kernels for what its worth...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n_i_x:
Activate just does *228. How is this method any different?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
None of this is working for me... Including the kernel... I also just reprogrammed my phone but that didnt fix anything either. I guess I'll try and flash skyraider again and the service pack or something..

Any other ideas?

*edit* - Formatted my sd card, got rid of everything, reinstalled Redemption and no go... gonna try skyraider again...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
Hmm, I'm trying to think of what I did to fix my 3G, and I think I RUU'd, and then did a factory reset. That should be your best bet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd5500:
I'm also having these issues. What does "RUU'd" mean?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
What is the point of the nandroid if you ruu and go back to stock anyways?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayporsche:
RUU stands for 'Radio Unit Update'........
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n_i_x:
None of this makes any sense. It sounds like a coincidence that it worked for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
Well that's funny... CAUSE IT WORKED!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH gmichaelow!

Basically the deal seems to be in the factory reset. When you factory reset a RUU it deletes EVERYTHING which makes you need to reactivate your phone. When I reactivated my phone before, it didnt work because the corrupted files (im guessing) were still in tact...

Time to reroot! haha
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
Ahahahaa!! Yayyy!!! Lol, I'm so glad it worked! It was REALLLLLYYY frustrating for me, as there's no documentation to a solution to this problem. There are only reports of the problem, but no answer.

It was actually a Verizon rep who put me on to this, after telling me to "factory reset." But I was running CyanogenMod at the time, and the factory reset did nothing.

So I figured that I should RUU, I've tried everything else. RUU didn't fix it by itself. But then I remembered the Verizon rep... factory reset... and then that magic "3G" icon appeared! And stayed! =]

lol, anyways, glad I could help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
Ya the factory reset on Ruu must wipe the PRL data and stuff too which is why it makes you reprogram I think!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
Yeah, it's definitely wiping something that ROMs aren't getting to. Probably the PRL, as no ROM I've ever flashed boots into that screen with an "Activate" button.

Me and my gf had 3G loss issues. After I did the RIL patch it did it less, but now it doesn't do it. So I've done nothing and my issues are fixed.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixedlemon:
I was having these problems as well, I did everything I could think of to fix it, RUU, 228, checkin, nothing worked. I ended up taking it in to a verizon store and they gave it a shot.

They ended up just sending me a replacement Incredible, and I haven't had any problems on this one yet.

WOW, this worked great for me!! Before I did this, I had mobile data that worked ok with Sense ROMs and very poor with AOSP ROMs. I could only set up CM7 with WiFi. After doing this, I saw 3G pop up during set up of CM7. Loving that ROM again.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HillsRider:
Worked for me also. And I am pretty sure that it was caused by rebooting while in airplane mode while running a Evo 3D/Sense 3.0 ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProneTheDuck:
I just realized that my phone died in airplane mode the other night when I was at the movie theater, so that definitely could be issue

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MechaMorph:
My wife's Dinc suffers from the 3G issue. With RMK's ROM that appears to fix the problem can you just nandroid backup, install RMK's ROM, and restore the backup? I want to fix her phone, but I can't afford to wipe it right now as I'd probably be killed. ;)

Curious

Ive read all the post's here and have a question, I'm running CM7.2 and have had no issues until just a couple of days ago where I lost wireless connection while on my pc. I looked at my phone and it lost 3g connection, it came right back.

Is this the same issue that is being talked about here? I restored back to my stock rom that is rooted and did a *228 and it did its thing, not sure if it made a difference or not, I seem to have good connection and all, but when I go back to my CM7.1 or 7.2 is where I have the issue, I even tried wiping and installing from new on the CM7.

If I remember right, just doing a factory reset may lose all your stuff, but it does not unroot or change S-off status.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cole119:
Is it supposed to boot into recovery after you select yes to update the RUU?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
Well, you need to put the RUU on your SD card, and update it from Hboot not recovery... I can't remember exactly, but I do not think it went into recovery. The whole point is to get rid of the recovery image and go back to stock after all XD
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
No... I'm not sure of the minute details, but it should prompt you to update, then reboot and prompt you again. And then reboot once more to a "reboot: yes or no" and finally that reboot will take you to the ROM.

(Or something close to that order.)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cole119:
I did update it from HBoot; what happened was: it found the file and loaded it, then it asked me if I wanted to update, so I pressed volume up to select yes. After that, the screen went black and then it booted up into recovery. I don't know why it would do this though, lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
What is your radio? If it is 9.01 you need to downgrade to the official radio.

Also, you need to turn S-ON btw first.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernando sor:
ok this is what i did to get my 3g back.

first off im going to list everything i did. the first few steps my not be neccesary.

1)download sense rom.

2) go to sd card and phone storage and select reset phone and internal storage.phone will reboot

3) upload the ruu over the air update and apply in hboot.

4) again go to sd card and phone storage. select reset phone and internal storage. phone will reboot. activate the phone.

you do lose root but gain 3 g back.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
Ya, it's the RUU's factory reset, that spurs the phone activation que on start up that fixes the 3g i think
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
S-on is not needed. As far as I can tell, the only thing is a factory reset from RUU. get there however you want xD
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernando sor:
i never lost s off. just root. anyways thanks. it worked
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
Ah yes, that's exactly what I meant. S-off will not be lost. Yay! 3 for 3!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khukman:
I can confirm that this fix worked for me as well. I went ALL THE WAY back to stock though, S-ON, unrooted, RUU. It was STILL there, but when I did a clear storage, it wiped out the PRL information and forced me to re-program it via *228. After I did this, everything was fine. I believe that my issues were brought on by flashing a ROM that was Sprint-based. That is what I have tracked it to. YMMV. I for one and going to practice 'safer burning procedures' in the future to try and avoid this. I went for about 2 weeks with little to no internet connectivity and I decided that I DON'T LIKE IT!!!

I love these forums BTW, they allow us to shoot ourselves in the foot, but then give us the tools that we need to patch ourselves back up!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Contempt4You:
Did any of you download the Adfree app or install a Rom with it preloaded?

I'm not saying that it's the culprit, but it would be nice if we could narrow this down. I didn't have the problem until I downloaded adfree.

The funny thing is when I uninstalled adfree, my Incredible still runs without ads, so I know something is being left over.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abe.froman:
This worked for me. Followed the OP exactly.

My 3g seemed to start its disappearing act after I tried out the MIUI rom. Had been running Skyraider without problems prior to that, but decided to try MIUI briefly since I had to wipe everything for the new Skyraider anyway. Noticed the 3g issues after I eventually loaded the new Skyraider.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernando sor:
Mine started before I downloaded adfree. I think it was an evo based theme that did it to my phone.

Redemptive rom

Nameless theme blue/black

Hydra kernel
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
All right! 5 for 5! :)

Yeah, I think it has to do with flashing an evo rom. Perhaps doing a *228 on an sprint rom messes something up? Buy I don't really want to try though xD.

No, just don't do a *228 on it. I'm using an evo rom and have no problems.

Btw, here is no need to downgrade radio. The ruu already overwrites the radio.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
I still have 3G and have flashed Redemptive (EVO based ROM). I have also flashed the Alpha Burst theme and Nameless on this ROM. I have not flashed Matted Blues, could that cause some of the issues?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
Again, I have had no issues using an evo rom without *228. I believe a *228 on a sprint rom will corrupt the prl.

This does work. It sucks that you have to go back to complete stock to fix it but it will work. I had to do the complete factory reset plus reset internal storage and *228 to reprogram for it to fix it.. I haven't re-rooted yet (Lost my damn USB cable!).
