[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
ther are lots of ways to check things. does it drop 1% a minute all the time meaning you only get 100 minutes? does it only do it when you take it off the charger at 100% where ti will drop to any where from 99-90% in a matter of minutes?

if the later then thats normal and is because the phone doesnt have a trickle charge. this means that the phone charges your battery to 100% then stops however the indicator on the phone will not change it will still show 100% once the acctual power reaches 90% the phone then charges again up to 100%. what this means is once you take your phone off the pwoer if it has been sitting there even if it says it is at 1005 it can be any where from 90-100% which the battery quickly changes to over first few minutes.

If it happens past 90% and all the time then something is wrong and you likely have at least 1 if not more apps running wild on you, you have things set to sync constantly, and you have everything under the sun turned on for your phone.

for apps the paid version of system panel is very nice for monitoring you can go to monitor top and top apps and see which apps are using the most battery/cpu.

witht he information you have given that is aobut the best i can tell you. I would not say everyone has crappy battery life with the evo as i have slowly gotten my phone set up and now with moderate usage i can get 14-15 hours and at least 8-10 with very heavy usage(stock battery) which i dont consider to be crappy battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekoulak:
I appreciate the response, and I forgot to add that I'm running stock unrooted sense. This is not my first Android phone so I know about battery managing. I don't have everything sync every two minutes nor do I have everything turned on. It does drop rather quick even past 90 percent. I think it might be the phone it self. I doubt I got 2 bad batteries, one being extended. I'll see if I could get a device swapped out.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyheli:
My first EVO was like that. It drained quickly shortly after charging. I could never figure it out. Till one night before going to bed, I noticed something weird about the bottom keys on the phone. They were " very dimmly " lit. The home, menu, return, search were all dimmly lit. It was I believe a defect in the phone. I got it swapped out. No problems like the 1% drain since then.

Did you flash a kernel thats overclocks your cpu like jacs kernel or whiskey.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eweo911:
I've read that apparently some Vibrants cannot handle the overclock. Might be the case if you did not install a OC/UV kernel as pointed out above.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parmijo11:
As most overclocked kernal developers have stated if you experience freezing or force closing your device may not be able to handle overclock. Not all Vibrants can.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
Hey guys

Just a quick yes/no answer

I have a HTC HERO gsm... its running with the newest HTC update...

To root I shall do this right? :

1. Universal Androot -> root device

2. ROM manager -> Flash ClockworkMod Recovery...

3. Download a ROM (suggestions ?)

4. ROM manager -> Install ROM from SDCard

Done ??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
I'll try this ROM

Floyo 1.1.8

but the rest ?..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zebwen:
Floyo is great! FroydVillain is also good (but imo a little bit bloated). You could always try piecing your own device together from great pieces of work created by various people around XDA (this tends to be what the ROM packagers do, but they put them together in nice neat packages that do a lot of the work for you).

However, for a first rom, Floyo is a great choice!

Zeb
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
and the rest i listed is correctly ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
And one more question...

Will this rom install wipe my SD-Card ???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:
No, but if you choose to wipe SD Card Or EXT- Partition than it will !
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
Okay thanks :)

Then I'll properly have a rooted hero with android 2.2 at the end of this day :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
First time Boot

I have rooted now...

How long time should the FLOYO boot screen be there ?

its just goes round and round... and then blink some times...

is this normal ???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zebwen:
Yea, this can take a very long time. Leave it, but if it takes longer than about 30 minutes then I would pull the battery and reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
thanks.

How do I boot into recovery if I need that ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zebwen:
When powering on the phone, push and hold the Power and Home buttons until recovery boots.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
Okay, thanks againg :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
New ROM

Hey again

Just to keep it thight..

I have Floyo 1.1.8 now, played around and have a nice working phone :)

but ! Floyo 1.1.9 have just arrived, and i want it baaaad

how can I install it and dont start from the beginning all over again with all my aps and settings ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:
just Wipe everything .. its okay if you dont wipe App2sd Because you going from 1.1.8 to 1.1.9 but its good to wipe everything .. because it affects your ROM & Speed
[Hero, G2 Touch General] clobberknocker:
Hello, its my first time of rooting and installing a custom rom.

I have followed what B4Me has done as far as

1. Universal Androot -> root device

2. ROM manager -> Flash ClockworkMod Recovery...

Ive then used rom manager to partition my sd card

512mb ext size

and 32mb swap size.

Im planning on following Zebwen guide

The Perfect Hero Setup (How to set up your Hero with granular control)

Once ive downloaded all the parts what part of the SD card do i put them in?

When i mount the phone to the computer and open the sd card i have a one folder called rosie_scroll.

And then can i use Rom manager to flash and install the new rom?

Oh and whats the easiest way to completely wipe the phone?

cheers for any help, or a point in the right direction.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zebwen:
If you are using clockwork recovery you can put the zip files anywhere you want on the SD card. I have a folder named roms and I place them all in there.

You can wipe the device through recovery also. When people say "full wipe" they mean to wipe nand, battery stats, rotation, ext... basically all of the wipe options. This will leave your phone with only the recovery mate on it and it will leave the storage area of your SD card intact too.

Once you have done all of this you can go ahead and flash the roms as outlined in the other thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
then put new rom on sd-card (ex. Floyo 1.1.8.zip)

turn phone off

turn phone on WHILE holding down the HOME button, till a recovery screens appers.

in here, select first wipe all

then install .zip from sd-card

select the rom (ex. Floyo 1.1.8.zip)

it will then flash, and then you just WAIT and WAIT...

if like mine nothing happens after 40min

pull the battery, and restart the phone, DONT flash again.. just reboot it...

then It should start up after some tries :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] clobberknocker:
Spot on, thanks very much for the help.

Is it also advisable to do a nandroid backup?

Or is that not needed with me using the flash clockworkmod recovery in ROM Manager?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
No Idea... I did It JUST in case...

but didnt need it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] huskypaw:
Hi, I just did the same thing as clobberknocker but floyo just seems to keep spinning on screen! I pulled the battery and tried to boot again but it wont boot up. What should I do? Just let it keep going? Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
When I installed...

first boot...40 min of spinning

pulled battery

second boot...10 min of spinning

pulled battery

third boot...2 min spinning and then working
[Hero, G2 Touch General] clobberknocker:
Hello, i've rebooted into recovery mode using ROM manager, and gone to flash the cyanogen 6.1, which I have called update.zip, however I get the following:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

[Vibrant General] C-4Nati:
ok, i shipped my vibrant to thegreat520 who is by the way the most helpful guy i've ever talked to but my phone had to be reset to stock with odin, and i DID read a lot trying to find this answer before posting but couldn't find it but i had my phone unlocked so is it possible it was lost and the phone was locked again from that or not?
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I have read that once the phone is unlock, even if you go back to stock it will stay unlocked.
[Vibrant General] adinis78:
anyway to check on that, i unlocked my phone as well but had to revert back to stock. i do not have another carriers sim so how can one check?
[Vibrant General] hkfan:
i unlocked it...then installed ji6 and then bionix....its still unlocked.
[Vibrant General] DreamcastDC:
I have flashed back to stock JFD, stock JI6 and Bionix roms, and it is still unlocked.
[Vibrant General] adinis78:
ok then i take it mine is still unlocked then......
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
I believe any phone that gets sim unlocked, is unlocked forever.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithAdv:
Yay!

T-Mobile has decided that its HSPA+ network qualifies as "4G," so that's what they're calling it now. I feel faster already!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
lol they still call it 3g with 4G speeds

sorry to burst your bubble
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
I think calling it HSPA+ does it more justice than "4G". And it's "4G-like speeds" since I believe serious 4G is 100 Mbps on the down speed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
thank you agreed
[G2 and Desire Z General] jcX4ever:
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/11/t-mobile-readying-bone-crushing-4g-speeds/

They will push it beyond 168 Mbps... any complains??
[G2 and Desire Z General] ikarma:
Wow, so how fast will we be able to use up our 5gigs?
[G2 and Desire Z General] SmartHat:
Old news is Old.
[G2 and Desire Z General] FlyLikeAG2:
pr0n lol j/k

I think the 5gig limit cap is pretty small :\

I tend to game and download a lot of files so I could go through that within a week. Does anybody know what the throttled speeds are after you cap the 5gig limit?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kronickhigh:
supposedly edge speeds
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
yes, that 168 is FUTURE plans..... (who knows when that will be)

ACTIVE thoretical speeds are 21 Mbps

ACTIVE actual speeds are 6MBps - 12MBps (peak)

they have to go through stages... like 42 MBps upgrade..... and so on... they are not gonna jump to 168 over night..... there arent even any devices out that support those speeds. HECK we dont even have devices right now that support 21 MBps.... G2 is capable of 14.4 max MBPS....

I am not flaming you or anything, just saying that you can't always count on future speculations.

I love T-Mo btw, and deff love their new marketing strategy. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithAdv:
Really? The article I'm referring to was posted on the Information Week site today, November 3, 2010 08:50 AM, just a couple hours before I posted here.

Does everyone understand that what they're apparently saying now isn't "the G2 is a phone with 4G speeds," but that HSPA+ is literally 4G?

In a press release issued yesterday, T-Mobile specifically refers to the G2 as one of their "4G products." I hadn't seem them do that before.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ScottC:
60kilobits/sec, which quite frankly is next to useless.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithAdv:
This is becoming an interesting little tempest in a teapot today. The Wall Street Journal weighed in about an hour ago. I can't post links, but google "4G Image Scrambled As T-Mobile USA Enters The Mix" and you'll find it.

According to the article, T-Mobile began their campaign yesterday (so I'm still not sure how it's "old news," although I know folks here are pretty plugged in).

On T-Mobile's main site, I'm not seeing references to HSPA+ anymore. They're just "America's largest 4G network" and the G2 is a 4G product.

Lotta controversy coming from the competitors, though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
No, my G2 went to 19 mbs on wifi I think its peak might be in the 40s
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
I can partially agree that it's "old news" because I understood it a while ago that it's not truly 4G. I also noticed that today, there've been more articles being released about T-Mobile's campaign.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithAdv:
Those articles are all responding to the press release and campaign begun by TMO yesterday, which has started a controversy. In short, they say your understanding is wrong now.

Yes, we all know that prior to yesterday TMO was saying the G2 had "4G-like speeds."

But starting yesterday, they said, basically, "heck with it, our HSPA+ network IS 4G. Consumers aren't interested in all that 'alphabet soup.'" (their words).

So, if you walk into the store where I bought an HSPA+ G2 two weeks ago, they are now selling 4G G2s. Same phone, though.

Im the original post, I was simply pointing out that their announcement yesterday kicked up a backlash all over the net today. Even the Huffington Post had an article, calling TMO's network a "4GERY." (Clever.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
wow, should I waste my time telling you that we are talking about CELLULAR DATA.

not Wifi data.......

noobs these days.... :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mikey:
You mean 3G speeds called 4G lol

actually 3.6G

Nobody has 4G speeds yet, it's an advertising gimmick
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mikey:
Relax with the jpgs last warning :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] naria01:
That's what I'm getting now!!! LOL, I would like to have some damn 3G in my area...
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithAdv:
Yeah, my original post would have been easier to understand if I could post links, but the forum software won't let me because I'm a board newb.

The point isn't/wasn't about the technology itself, but that TMO threw down the gauntlet to everyone yesterday. Additionally, their declaration that they are now 4g, period, has created a little storm. Not the biggest news but interesting and fun.

Talkandroid has TMO's press release in their article titled "T-Mobile formally announces the largest 4G (HSPA+) network in the US."

Now there's a big cat fight going on between AT&T and TMO, with each claiming the other is skewing its numbers.

It could be an advertising gimmick, but that's their story and their sticking to it.

Here is TMO's new point of view, from the press release:

"'Consumers do not understand the technical alphabet soup of technologies involved in 4G, but for our purposes we define WiMAX, LTE and HSPA+ as 4G technologies,' said Chris Nicoll, distinguished research fellow, Yankee Group. 'HSPA+ is evolving a far more ambitious and long-term road map than was originally envisioned. T-Mobile is using an upgrade to HSPA+ to deliver faster 4G speeds today and is quickly bringing a number of HSPA+ devices to market that greatly enhance the mobile data experience for its customers.'"

So, not 4G-like. 4G. Even faster 4G at that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
I'm talking about the peak download speed, tmo said the phones max download speed was at a peak of 14 mbs and that their hspa+ would be at 21 mbs max download, so I understood that tmo said the phone can only go up to 14 regardless of wifi or hspa+ isn't that what they ment?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kubernetes:
:rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
:rolleyes:

Lmao you still can't read can you? I especifically said I'm not talking about hspa+ or wifi, I said the G2 max capability of download speed can't be 14 mbs and someone said that no device can reach 21 mbs and I replied telling them my G2 can since it did 19 and the speedtest was going from 19 to 22 until it settle at 19 mbs. And I also seen an evo get 21 mbs dumbass wow you love to troll.

If hspa+ can really go up to 21 the G2 would get those high speeds on hspa+ since 14 is not the peak
[G2 and Desire Z General] rajbaba2:
I think this is great i saw the link but what about more coverage. We need that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] puertoricantainoking:
Loving these speeds. although I was hoping better like the 10+ mbs tmo said we would have, here in brooklyn I been getting about 5-8 mb/s on average but its very inconsistant tho.
[G2 and Desire Z General] puertoricantainoking:
I don't think the G2 has a 14.4 mbps cap, since I can go over that on my wifi I've gotten 20 mbps so if hspa+ thoretical peak was 21 the G2 would support those speeds very fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cbmm:
that picture was hilarious.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Keirnoth:
What T-Mobile needs to do first is remove that ****ing 5 GB softcap. I hit that cap by accident because I was stupid enough to believe I could stream a Youtube playlist through the Desktop site for awhile.

If they're going to be allowing 100+ Mbps speeds in the future, they better be allowing us to fully utilize that by INCREASING THAT CAP. I've currently been nerfed to EDGE speeds, and needless to say, it pretty much makes doing any sort of browsing useless.

DRM process killed

All syncing applications set to 1 hour or greater, except Gmail.

Light usage

= no web browsing, very few phone calls (5 mins or less), 0 - 20 txts, staying off the market, and no or limited game playing.

Medium usage

= a few phone calls (no longer than 10mins each), 0 - 50 txts, sporadic market downloading/searching, checking Gmail and Facebook occasionally and getting down with some Angry Birds and World War (games).

Heavy usage

= no limit to phone calls, my phone blowing up with txts, browsing the web more than 5 times, using the Facebook app a bunch and cracking out on some games.

I find it strange that I finally upgraded to a smart phone and now I hardly get phone calls. I at least put a hurting on my bandwidth usage, ha ha.
[Epic 4G General] imwillzillla:
To me light usage would be if I were at work for an 8 hour period where I wouldn't touch my phone except maybe on break or to check an email or two.

Medium would be if I were web browsing texting and a few phone calls here and there.

Heavy would be sitting at home on a day off playing Galcon, fruit Ninja, web browsing, Ap downloading ect.
