Hello,
I have a huge problem and I don't know how to solve it, my phone was disconnected due to non-payment (lost my job); however, everything was working fine (on my WIFI) except for calls and text, until I accidentally reset the phone (weathebug app), how do I bypass the gmail login to turn on wifi, then proceed with activating the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can't unless you root it, after that, there are plenty of ROMs that allow you to bypass the activation. Its really not that hard, the entire procedure took 30min, just read several forums about the subject and make sure you have everything ready.

Even with auto-sync turned off, you have probably noticed that google contacts
keeps syncing on an irregular basis. It's not supposed to do this and for some reason when it does it slows down the phone BIG time.
In my experience, the only time I lose the audio (phone slows, audio goes, have to reboot) is when the google contacts are trying to sync.
If you aren't on a call when the contacts sync, the phone slows and recovers fine on its own. If you are on a call...curtains.
If the google sync issue is corrected...the problem may go away. I have no idea how to attempt to do this but I really think these issues could be tied together.

Just one problem with that statement...when on a call, EVDO (all data) drops out, meaning sync isnt possible. However, could it be possible that those experiencing issues have a problem with data continuing while on a call wrecking havoc? Just an idea. Have yet to experience this yet and hopefully wont.
hmmmm interesting
ive too also have been dealing with the audio issues, my thing is it doesnt do it all the time, my phone sometimes does have a google sync issue at times, where it kind of hangs, i too have noticed that when i loose audio my sync is connected, but when its completely off theres no probs, meaning i never have to retart phone. idk im beat once my sync is done when i flash a rom i completely turn it off and i un check always on mobile in settings, and my audio issues went away................
im not sure if this is what you guys are talking about, but ive been having an issue that is driving me insane. I can make and receive calls fine, however no sound is transmitted to either party (my mic and speaker don't work). The only thing that fixes it is a restart, then its usually only the first one or two calls after the restart that work fine, after that its lights out again. always on mobile is unchecked, contacts/mail/calendar are set to manual sync and nothing else really pulls data without me initiating it.
Ive been on with Sprint all week about it and they are sending me a replacement and credited me back the past month, so we'll see if its a ROM or a hardware thing cause the second the replacement comes in its getting rooted and flashed
I have flashed Fipz' 2.0d on my phone, my co-worker's, and my wife's. The first two phones have worked just fine, from the first boot, however, after flashing it several times, my wife's hero continues to lose audio. I have even tried the update.zip that was supposed to help it.
The only differences that I can account for is that I rooted and flashed the two working ones on a Windows computer at work, and my wife's I rooted and flashed at home in Ubuntu.
It doesn't seem likely to me that I did anything different, (other than the required differences in the code when rooting) on my wife's phone than I did on the other two.
After 3 wipes, SD Format and re-partitions, and reconfiguring her phone, it still gets that audio issue. The longest it has lasted without doing it is about 6 hours.
I have absolutely no clue what could be causing this lol

To complicate things, I'm on a mac and have flashed MatrixROM. So, it looks like nobody is safe...Ubuntu, Windows and Mac. I noticed someone had posted a possible fix a little bit ago. I may give that a shot as it's incredibly frustrating. I wish there was a way to send all calls to voicemail, cause its pointless to have them connect through right now.
hopefully anyone who wants to test the new fix has. if not please do. its on the thread i started and it uses a variation of "fixes". as stated before, we know what causes it but not really sure how to fix it. im working with a very good dev to create a kernel and ramdisk to fix it with everything working.
wifi doesnt work with the fix as of right now. but anyways hope it helps.
My wife flashed her hero to the official sprint 2.1. She had never rooted or flashed a custom rom before, so her going to the official 2.1 didn't really bother me much. However, now she's running into an issue with her data not working. A couple days ago she noticed she wasn't getting her e-mail. Strangely enough, mine quite working too (I'm on fresh 2.1.1). I rebooted my phone and mine started working. So I went to her wireless and network settings and turned off her data. I then turned it back on and after 30 seconds or so it said it was connected and everything started working just fine.
The strange part is there are no errors and even when the phone tries to check e-mail, it doesn't report any errors. Now, on my phone when this happened, my HTC Mail app threw a fit because it couldn't connect to the exchange server. Since I could refresh my gmail account and got no errors I thought it was just our exchange server. I signed into my account on my PC (for exchange) and it was in fact working fine. After I rebooted (just this one time as mentioned above) gmail kicked off with new mail and exchange connected fine.
Today, she has told me 3 times now that she went in and reset the connection (turn it off and back on) and a while later it would quit working again. She turns her phone off every night, but for good measure I am having her reboot it now.
Anyone else have this issue? She never had this problem on 1.5, so I don't think it's hardware. I've only had the issue once, but I'm also not in her area right now (tower related, maybe? My data borked when I was at home where she is at right now).
Thanks

This does seem like a tower problem. However, if you want to troubleshoot, you could always reset your data settings via the Sprint ## codes.
For data, enter this code: ##3282# on your Dial Pad. Give it a second and it'll ask if you want to view or edit your settings. Trouble shooting this problem would mean you have to Edit the settings, but in order to edit them you need your MSL code, which can be obtained by either contacting Sprint CS and asking them for it; or you can search around here on XDA and I'm pretty sure some people posted other ways to get your code.
Once you have your MSL code, choose edit when you get the pop up window and then click on your menu button -- there should be an option for you to choose reset -- enter your MSL code and your phone will reboot.
This may or may not fix your problem; I've had success whenever I've had data problems.
Hey thanks! I did a search for MSL and found a thread with a procedure to get it through CDMA workshop but the drivers don't want to work with Windows 7 x64.
However, my wife was complaining the other day that it takes a long time for her phone to start ringing when someone calls. I think I'll call sprint tonight when I get home and just tell them I need to fix that and see if they give me the MSL... Might kill two birds with one stone.

On the taking a long time to ring:
1) Move the ringtone off the SDcard into the phone, in some cases the SD card is to slow to read it fast enough. - Worked for a buddy of mine
2) There is a polling rate you can set when you get the MSL - but I have heard sprint forces a particular rate from the tower even if the phone has one set. - This will also decrease battery life.

This may be too obvious of an answer, but have you tried using the device self service tool and updating your profile and prl?

No problem, hope everything works out.
I had the same problem, took it to the sprint store (Waste of time!) and ended up hard resetting it, seems to have fixed the problem. you can hard reset by turning off the phone and then holding down the end, back and home buttons and selecting "clear storage" or "clear user data" (sorry, can't remember the exact wording). It will completely reset the software but it will wipe the data off your phone.
I got her MSL code via the logcat method that was just recently posted and reset her data and also changed her slot index. Although some people say that it is overridden at the tower, I also changed her priority. I updated her PRL as well. Before, it was ringing after I would hear about 3.5 rings, sometimes 4 full rings. Now it's ringing on the second ring. Also, her data was essentially turning off after about 30 minutes. After doing all of the above, she is saying it hasn't stopped working yet.
Thanks for all the suggestions, looks like it might be fixed.
Well it's still not fixed. She has it happen a couple times a day and now my phone is doing it too. It's not happening consistently that I can tell, just seems to randomly stop working.
Also, I'm on Fresh 2.1.2 and I'm getting some really really bad lag. I don't use any custom ringtones, just the ones that came with the phone and sometimes my phone will start to ring and the only way I know is because the vibrate starts. Then a good 3 seconds later I'm still getting a black screen as the phone is trying to tell me who it is.
I will randomly pick up my phone to surf the web too and it won't respond or do anything for like a good 10 - 15 seconds. I open up ES Task Manager and usually one of the mail apps is trying to update with like a 5% - 10% cpu usage, but that's all that has any CPU percentage. I'm not really sure what to try next. I've removed some apps that I don't really use and a couple that I just recently installed just to see if they are the culprit.
I'm using the Launcher Pro Beta too. Maybe that's it?
I've had a similar issue... only happened to me a couple of times since the update though... but I've just been turning "airplane" mode on and then off it turns off the radio and then turns it back on... seems to have worked for me...
again.. for me it's only happened a couple of times since the update to 2.1 so it could be a different issue.
I never thought of airplane mode. Doing what her and I are doing just reconnects data, not turning the radio on and off. I'm going to have her try that next and see if that fixes it. She says that she turns the phone off every night, but maybe she isn't some nights.
I recently had problems with my phone constantly giving me "Error 67" and I could not get data through the Sprint network at times, other times it would work fine. I searched on google and this forum a great deal, but could not find anything that fixed it. I performed the profile update, PRL update, contacted Sprint and did some thing in the dialer starting with ## (I do not remember the numbers) that did some kind of auto update, and even installed the official 2.1 patch. Everything seemed to work at first, but nothing sticked for very long before the issues continued. The issues first started when I had my phone overclocked and slightly unstable, I thought that I had maybe damaged the phone and needed a replacement.
After a week of all this, I had an idea. I had just recently sold my BlackBerry Pearl (8130) to a co-worker, he still had not had data turned on for the phone but could make calls with it. The next day at work I asked to see his phone. He could not pull up any internet data, but under connections data was still turned on. I turned it off (since he did not need it anyways) and tried it out. It has been 2 days now without any errors. The only thing I can figure is that even though I cleared out all my data on that phone, it still had my password to connect to data. Since it is a smart phone, it would try here and there, even though there is no need for data. The network would see my phone trying to connect after the BlackBerry and boot it since that password is already connected.
The only reason I made this post was because I could not find any solutions on the net that helped me at all. I hope with this post maybe I could save a few people the headache I went through.
Hey guys.
I have some issues with my HD2. I can't make calls, it just hangs up after 2 sec.
I can't recieve calls. I sometimes get a text with a notification, that someone tried to call me, but not always.
I can get on 3g, but I can't access the web. I am, however, able to send and recieve texts.
I've tried everything, resets, re-installing to an older HTC ROM, fiddled with various settings. Nothing seems to work. And it just started behaving like this all of a sudden..
The phone has been rooted with android for months, working great. But to isolate this part, as a possible reason for the phone not working, I've completly un-rooted it again, but still no progress..
Also, the phone doesn't work with any SIM-card, and my own SIM-card works fine in my old phone. So I suspect it to be hardware-related.. Although it just happened all of a sudden.
I've also spoken to HTC customer-service, but they have never heard of the issue..
Any help is greatly appriciated..
Help required??.
Okay here's what's happen, I've just got back from a week away and normally on my phone I just the fingerprint recognition, but as I was away I added a password but I was still using the fingerprint to access. On the flight returning back I turned the phone off to save my battery...'why did I do this?' , & with that when I turned the phone back on I could only use the password which I setup but now was unable to remember
Okay so after some searching online I found where I could temporarily change the password by visiting Google.com/android/devicemanager, I entered the temporary password and sent it to my phone, when I tried to then access my phone it still came up with incorrect password. I checked that my phone was actually contacted by ringing it from device manager also but the password didn't work.
Also what's annoying is that I have to wait for an hour on the phone before I can another attempt. I don't know how many attempts I've tried as yet but I heard once I get to 20 I can use my google account to reset it.
I really don't want to loss all the photos I took and the data. If anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks
Anyone.

You can safely use ODIN to flash the official stock firmware.
Odin flashing will NOT wipe your photos, videos or music.
It will not wipe anything which is on your internal sd.
It will wipe contacts and mms and stuff like that but
you will automatically get those back after odin flashing
and setting up your phone.
After setting up your google (gmail) account it will sync
all your contacts, emails, mms etc so you won't loose
much of anything at all.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
