There may be a possibility of getting your data back. As long as you don't write anything new to the card. Anything new put on the card would overwrite the old data that is in the same location, basically 'randomly' overwrite old stuff.

But if you haven't written too much to it, you could use some recovery programs to try and find your old files. Technically they are all still there, but their 'location' on the card is now unknown.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madflasher:
Iv'e read many posts throughout these forums about ROMS and/or Kernels being fast. I think my phone is fast enough for me. For others that may not be the case, so...

- to what extent does speed affect stability if any?

- aside from the obvious overclocking what else would one do to speed up their phone?

- what would you use these speeds for?

- then again what is fast, scrolling speed, transitions, streaming, gaming, browsing.....?

- what methods are being used to gauge these speeds, fps, linpack, quadrant.....other, are they acurate?

- its been said that AOSP is faster than Sense if so how?

It would be nice to gain a better understanding of various opinions on speed. Maybe some screenies of your set-up or different processes taken.

- Thanks for the insight

I would like to know the same thing i see alot of asop roms hitting 2000+ on quadrant i can only get to 1700 .....any help?:eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
If you're getting 1700+ on sense, you don't need help. AOSP will be slightly faster just b/c there's less to it than sense. You're not going to feel a difference between a ROM running 1700 and one running 2000+ as long as you setup is running smoothly. Speed is more about feel than numbers anyway, although the popular tests are linpack and quadrant.

If you just want high scores, run CM6.1 and Snap 7.6 Kernel w/ Turbo activated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wryun:
When I flash CM6/CM7 on my EVO, I am able to send emails to anyone in my Exchange/Active Sync directory. The contacts do not show up in my contacts app, but when I enter a name of a co-worker in the "TO" field in email, all associated names in the company directory show up. *which is expected*

However, when I go back to stock ROM (HTC Sense), and setup my Exchange/Active Sync stuff, co-workers in the company directory do not show up as they do when running an AOSP ROM. I made sure "sync contacts" is selected but nothing works.

Has anyone else experienced this, or know of a fix?

I am using the default email app with both ROMS, and setting up the email correctly.

I can send and receive email just fine. All of my work calendar items are visible, and do sync. It's just the contacts I am having trouble with.

Thanks.

I can't find this now for some reason ... but FWIW I called my VZ corporate store today and they had "no information" on price yet ... yet BB knows it's $250, why is this?

I'm assuming it's going to be 249 @ vzw as well as BB? Or do you think VZ is going to hit us w/299 and expect us to do a 50 rebate?

I'm going to get the TBolt and if I end up not liking it I'll just sell it after the DInc 2 comes out :-) I'm scared to get a larger phone, I love the size of my Eris .... and we all know SIZE MATTERS :-)

$250 from Verizon on a 2 year contract, confirmed by V today in a tweet...
[Thunderbolt General] snerfu:
This is not the same question as the poster, but it kind of falls under the topic. I was going to order by calling verizon and having them send me the phone(can't get a certain monthly discount on wirefly(so the customer service person tells me)) and they offered to waive the activation fee. But I found a midnight launch here locally and was wondering if those employee's have the ability to waive the activation fee as well? I would try and entice them with buying the same amount in accessories of course.
[Thunderbolt General] Philosophre:
Verizon retail employees can waive alot of things and give additional discounts. Just say that you really want this phone, but the price is too much. They would want you to be a loyal customer and have you pay $20 less than just walk out.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
I wish you the best w/the waiving of the fee .... I recently added a line and they charged the $35, it took a call and then a request to talk to a supervisor .... and many minutes on hold before she came back and told me that, as a one time courtesy they would waive it. They also wanted me to "be sure to understand" that going forward all extra lines would have a fee.

I had to laugh when I hung up 'cuz the CS rep assured me in the first place that I would NOT be able to get the fee waived, even after I asked to speak to a supervisor ... moohoowahhahahahaha, I win! And the fact that she was all *****y about it and I got it waived made it even sweeter!

yay me. From what I understand the store people will tell you they don't have the authority to waive it .... let us know what you find out.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
Thank you!

Killing applications isn't necessary. The OS will do that for you when it needs the extra space in RAM. Killing processes will waste battery life as it will have to launch all of the background applications that you kill all over again. Only use a killer if you have an unresponsive program.

I grabbed the different .ogg notifications & ringtones from the Xoom and from CM7 to use on my HC.

Instructions for Installation

:

Extract the attached "Notifications.zip" to a folder of your choosing on your computer

Hook-up your NC to your computer, ensuring ADB is working properly

Then run the "Audio.cmd" file by double-clicking on it (tested using Win7)

The .cmd script will transfer the .ogg files to your HC NC in the following directory:

/System/Media/Audio/Notifications

You can change the script to have the files transferred to another directory on your NC, if you so choose.

Enjoy and let me know if any issues!

[NOTE: Some of the .ogg files in the .zip may be a duplicate of what you have already loaded on your NC, this won't be a problem.]

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PwnHero:
I am looking at rooting my phone. I have a few questions but I'm not sure where to post at because I'm new on this site. I read through some root instructions, but the creators were not specific on some areas.

Does it matter what carrier I have if I root my HTC Hero as long as it is CDMA? I have Alltel. The instructions I read for this were not specific as to carriers, they just said CDMA HTC Hero.

My other question is when you root your HTC Hero, is flashing a new ROM to the phone part of the rooting process or something different. The instructions I read also did not clarify this.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PwnHero:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borrowedchief:
I don't know whether the carrier matters or not when rooting. You don't have to flash a ROM when rooting, but I would venture to say the the vast majority of folks are rooting to add a custom ROM. Especially with the Hero, due to it's limitations.

Edit: I found this post here. So I would research that a bit as far as carriers.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
If you want to stay stock but remove bloatware, you can just root and remove with an app like root explorer. I would think about at least an overclocked kernel.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pstevep:
i know there are people on here who rooted from Alltel, the only thing is the majority of people have sprint.. so most of the custom stuff will come with sprints banner on it.. there are ways to change them and none of it is too hard at all to do.. its not a bad idea to try out some custom roms even if they are just custom versions of the stock rom..

i would check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=674788 it gives a break down of everything you will need to know both with the site itself as well as rooting your hero in general.. a good thing to keep in mind before posting a lot of questions is google is your friend, a search of the forum will bring up most answers to anything.. a lot of people around here get really ticked if you post questions that have already been answered, or if you post it in the wrong section.. but check out the link, any other questions feel free to ask..:D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PwnHero:
I found this blog on rooting. It doesn't say anything about carrier. Does anyone know? It just says CDMA, which is what my phone is.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pstevep:
you can root being alltel, rooting in general is not carrier specific.. if you flash certain roms it may change your provider banner to sprint because it is the most common, but even that can be changed back and it doesnt affect your radio or prl.. if its a CDMA hero the CDMA root process should work..

Backing up/transferring contacts is easy without any 3rd party apps.

*note, I'm using Huawei Ascend running 2.1, but these instructions should be about the same.

To backup:

Open Contacts > press Menu > More > Manage Contacts > Backup to SD Card. Your contacts will be saved in a vcf format, located on your sd card in Contacts folder.

To Restore:

Open Contacts > press Menu > More > Manage Contacts > Restore from SD Card.

Depending on which message app you have, there should be an option to backup sms/mms.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viroid:
First off, I'd like to say that I've been a long-time follower of XDA and a hard-core HTC/WindowsMobile fan, the learning curve to move to an Android based device has been rather steep at times but enjoyable.. With that said, the Atrix is a solid piece of hardware and I'm warming up to Android pretty quick. =)

Anyhow, since I can no longer synchronize my contacts and calendar items to my phone via USB, I informed my Boss that due to the huge push in 'to the cloud' synchronization none of the newer cell phones on the market allow synchronize via USB and that almost 75% of our technical support team was now without the ability to synchronize our service calls for the day to our mobile devices and that we needed to move to a Microsoft Exchange Server so that we could utilize ActiveSync. He laughed at me, and then said go for it. (Woohoo!)

So, I spent the better part of my weekend deploying a Microsoft Exchange Server (Exchange 2010) and am currently the process of setting up all the users/distribution lists/etc so that we can cut-over to it next week. I have had my Exchange account configured in Outlook 2007 since Sunday night and everything has been working fine, I am still IMAP'ing my work email but Outlook has been doing its normal exchange synchronization things in the background. I couldn't get my Atrix to sync, but I assumed it was because I didn't have the UC SSL Certificate installed as Outlook wouldn't sync over the air either..

Last night (3/15) I finally got the new UC SSL Certificate installed on the Exchange server, and installed the RootCert (Generated my own RootCert, and signed the request from Exchange) on my Laptop and my Atrix. I still couldn't establish a connection though, so I spent a couple of hours pouring over search results. (notice my ultra low post count?!, I know how to use the search function!) I tried the 'remove activesync mobile device policy' fix, the 'side-loading email app pulled from an android 2.2 vdk?' fix, and then finally came across a post on a Microsoft forum about inheritable active directory permissions. Basically as a member of the 'Domain Admins' group my domain account was not inheriting the appropriate permissions from active directory to allow my account to create the active-sync object.. Here's where I actually get on topic, and this get's interesting...

Less than 5 minutes after the first successful sync from my Atrix to the Exchange server Outlook 2007 crashed on my laptop and wouldn't re-open; I spent the better part of today troubleshooting this issue, (removed and re-created my profile, rebuilt my user profile, removed Outlook 2007, installed Outlook 2010, and removed and re-created my exchange mailbox) and in the end the issue definitely seems to be caused by the Atrix. If I remove the ActiveSync connection to my Atrix from the exchange server, Outlook opens fine and works without a hitch, as soon as I re-establish the connection Outlook crashes. =(

Anyone ran into this? Anyone else using an Atrix on Exchange 2010 w/ SP1?

My work uses GoodLink for this. "Good" software to run with your exchange server. Multi-platform and high security. A pain in the butt when switching ROMs though. My IT dept must hate me because I always open tickets to get access to it. I'm sure it's not cheap, but just throwing it out there.
