stuck on using data connection - Hero CDMA General

So recently I've flashed my Sprint hero to fresh 1.1 with modocos custom kernal 1.2. I am also using emericas white taskbar. So my problem is that it seems like I'm stuck using my data because the icon on the taskbar indicates I am. My battery seems to be dying fast because of it.Is there a way to fix this or should I re-flash everything?
Thanks in advance!

Might sound like a stupid question, but have you hard reset (SEND+MENU+END) since you start experiencing this issue?

I'm sorry I'm pretty new to rooting.. but what does that do?

It forces the hardware on the phone to reset itself. You won't loose anything.

Would i lose any apps or other data?

Like I already said, "You won't loose anything".

Really sorry about that.
And thank you. I believe it worked.

Phone keep restarting by itself ??

Ok so my hero keep turning off by itself. This is not the first time it happen, it'll be on then it will just turn off by itself. Even worse sometimes the led light will be flashing for a new message and when I press the menu button to unlock it, it restart automatically. It mostly restarts itself when the screen is dark and i always press menu to bring up the light or to unlock it. Is this mean my phone is now defective ? I mean this happened before on some other 2.1 ROM too so idk what it is. Can someone tell me how to fix this????? I've tried almost all 2.1 Roms Aloysius, DC 2.07.2, Trevs Damage, ZenHero , RegawMod (themed) and Fresh 2d. the only rom that didnt restart my phone was the Fresh 2d with the very first audio fix by Avalaunchmods but i already erased that out of my computer.
Hmmm, not much to go on. I had experienced a similar issue back on early ROMs, but it was so infrequent I never really cared.
Try a Nandroid Backup and then flash to a 1.5 ROM and see if it continues, if so then yes the phone may be defective.
Also try different 2.1 ROMs here, and let us know if anything changes.
Dude, seriously do you need to have such a big font? Its not necessary....
i didn't catch that, what did you say?
lol mr big font
this happened to me last night, i wasnt even touching the phone and this happened, but its been the only time and ive been using 2.1 roms for a while now...i think this even happened once or twice when i was on stock...
coming from windows mobile, im used to things like this.
This happens on my sisters stock phone frequently I don't really care to look at it though.
Big fonts aren't nice. Stop using them
Try a different ROM. You may even want to revert to stock for awhile, if it keeps rebooting you should return the phone for a non-defective handset.
LOL @ RTessi

My sis's is on stock, and she has the problem
Funny thing is my phone is the only one without problems, and it's the only one that's rooted.
i don't know what we're yelling about loud noises
i got it fixed now, i think, i've had Fresh 2.0d for a few days and this problem is gone. oh and sorry for the big font lol i did this post in class on my phone and i didnt preview or look at what font i was using

Can a ROM interfere with HTC Sense?

First I apologize if this has been answered in a prior thread but my phone is my only internet access at the moment and my Sense has crashed making it VERY difficult to do any searching.
So anyway, today I went to unlock my phone and it was frozen. I did a soft reset and when it came on Sense would not work. I've been running the Elegancia GTX ROM for over a week now just perfectly then today sense crashed. So i wanted to know if reflashing the ROM could fix it or if its a hardware issue? any input would be MOST appreciated. Or any fixes you know of. Thanks.
Try this...

if your having that much problems with the rom, flash a new rom,
(i prefer core cell series) and when you flash it do a hard reset...
and it should be fine, maybe a program you installed ain't compatible with sense.
If the only issue is with sense (i.e. everything works just fine when sense is off), then it's defintely software related and not hardware, so you can rule that out.
What's probably happend is that one or more of the manila files that sense is "made of" has gotten corrupted or deleted. There's over 3000 of those files (if I remember correctly), so finding exactly which ones is probably impractical.
I would start by uninstalling any recently installed apps/tweaks. This may not solve the problem, but it's the easiest thing to try first. If that doesn't work, then hard-reset the current ROM you're on now...just backup any crucial data from the phone first, and catalog your installed cabs etc for reapplying afterwards. Then, if you still can't get sense to behave, go hunting for another ROM to try.
Also note that any time you flash a ROM to your phone, it's always a good idea to do a hard-reset immediately, before using the new ROM, just to help insure stability of the flash.
Hey thanks Phunkee,
I got it figured out. What it was... I was using the Co0kies HTE that came with the ROM and when I changed the 'custom operator text' and the 'main text color' (to red) it messes with sense. I dont know why. But yesterday I did a hard reset, it fixed it. So before I installed anything I decided to try that same step again and what do ya know...Sense crashed.
I think I saw something about using Red in the forum last night as I was looking for a new ROM but I may have dreamed that haha. Either way, I now know not to do that again. Im running the Omega Series Alexander ROM now, I changed the 'custom user text' (not to red, but still custom) and so far all is well.
Great advice though, thanks for the help! And ya I ALWAYS do the hard reset after flashing, and Task 29 PRIOR to flashing. Yesterday I was oping to avoid a hard reset just because I hate having to re-setup everything back to the way I like it.

Did you mention it to Steve? It might help him to fix it if more than one person is experiencing it...
For now I switched to Omega Series, getting the same speed and performance so its working out pretty well so far.
il let him know, i switched to omega gtx as well, much better battery so far

phone won't go past 50%

hey guys.
i have a tmobile hd2 and i've noticed that my phone wont go past 50% with memory usage without having to restart itself. its very annoying. it happens after ive been using the phone for a while or been using the wi-fi router. my touch pro 2 never did that to me though so im wondering whats wrong.
help?
thanks
sorry to bump this but can no one help me?
Is it getting hot? Mine gets warm after using WIFI router. Once, only once, and I have no idea why because it hasn't done it since then, it randomly rebooted. I understand that higher temps can cause issues with the HD2. I'd do a search but I'm too frazzeled after a long day of work.
it cant be the heat...my phone gets warm but not hot once in a while. when it resets itself, it doesnt have to be hot to do it.
and when it does reset itself, it forgets to start the gps so i have to reset it again
i hate when it does it...is that normal to not go past 50% ram usage? does anyone elses do that? im gonna call and get a replacement but does anyone elses HD2 not go past it?

You don't have your ROM in your sig, so I don't know if you have a custom or not.
For sure, you phone crashing that fast is a shame and not normal.
If you are running a custom ROM, try getting on that thread to see if someone has or had the same issue. Sometimes these things happen and fixes are pretty fast if the chef wants to keep an audience.
If you are running stock, you might consider giving a custom ROM a shot, especially some of the "Lite" versions out there.
Be sure to Task 29 between any flashing to wipe out all previous data. Spare bits hanging around can interfere with a new ROM in unpredictable ways, including developing a crash pattern specific to your device that doesn't happen to other users of the same ROM.
Please keep us informed of your progress, someday another might have the issue and be looking for your solution, even if that is a hardware warranty exchange
hmm, i can see the rom version and everything on my sig... =/
im running the stock rom.
i wanted to go to a custom rom but then i hate having to update the rom every time a new one comes out. you know? props to the chefs who do that though!
i just had it exchanged. it was too annoying to keep going on like that

Odd Problems with HTC Hero CDMA

I have this weird problem, and I can't figure out the cause.
Whenever I use my phone lately, it will randomly freeze/force close certain apps. It's super laggy. If I drag my hand/palm across the touch screen, it will stop lagging and perform all the touch commands that I had "queued" up. This seems to persist even though I just wiped+flashed my phone again.
I've got nandroid backups for my stock hero, CM6.1.0, and now I just wiped and flashed to CM7.0.2. Sitting in the CM7.0.2 setup wizard as I type this, and it's lagging like crazy. Is it possible my Hero is internally damaged somehow and that's causing the problems, or does it sound like software? My Hero has been through a LOT of bumps, some harder than any phone should have to endure.
Still, I'm strapped for cash and making the best of what I've got. Anyone got any ideas? Is it possible that I screwed something up using the adb shell when I was a little nooblet? And that said, is there anyway to wipe everything and start with a completely clean slate?

I'm new here but I've had a lot of different problems also. What I do is RUU and start over. It fixes a lot of screwups on my part... if you have the problems after RUU with stock s/w then I'd have to say its your phone. Good Luck.

First when a rom is starting up, it's likely to be SLOW, for 2 reasons, kernels need to "warm up" and the market is probably downloading a crapload of apps (this is a new feature). Second, it sounds like maybe you're device is running low on RAM, I would suggest you get an app from the market called "autokiller" and set the preset called "optimum". Third, go into settings/cm settings/performance and then set your governor to interactive 352-691 or ondemand 264-691. Fourth, go read a LOT of the threads in here and learn some stuff that will help you. Fifth, what recovery are you using and what exactly did you "wipe". Sixth, what do you mean could you have messed something up with adb shell?

1. Yeah I know that. I hadn't had this problem until the last couple months. Until then, it was more or less okay. The problem is, it really is a completely fresh rom.
2. The Hero is kind of a low memory phone to begin with, so that's certainly a possibility. 2.2 and 2.3 aren't exactly kind on old hardware.
3. I don't have those settings in 6.1.0. I was using SetCPU for awhile with it at 480-7XX (Can't remember, I think 791, as that was max) and OnDemand. I had some screen off, temperature, and battery profiles too.
4. Any specific threads I should read you can suggest? I was lurking on the forums for awhile before I did anything to my phone (didn't want to brick it).
5. I'm currently using Amon RA 1.6.2. I considered clockwork, but some people said it has more problems. I've heard complaints that Amon RA requires signed packages, but frankly it hasn't been a problem thus far. It actually saved me from bricking my phone when I was new to this whole thing. As for what I wiped, I simply went through Amon RA and wiped data, dalvik, battery stats and rotation. Don't know what battery stats/rotation are, but I am familiar with the Dalvik cache.
6. As for saying I could have messed something up, when I was flashing my phone, it was something I'd never done before. It's certainly possible I mistyped something or screwed something up.
I was hoping someone could help me to completely wipe it and start fresh, since I'm sure it's had its share of problems.
I would suggest flashing clockwork. You can wipe more areas of the system then the one you have. And it has more features. I personally made the switch.
As for your lag, it might be your hardware. If you did a clean install and wiped boot, system, cache, data, and dalvik, and installed the latest stable release and it's still laggy? Then things are not looking good brother.
You experience the same thing on a sense base ROM?
also it could be cpu govenors because usually by default most roms have it set to ondemand witch has always caused problems for me and as soon as i set it to performance its fine.

Are you aware that the performance governor runs at the MAX CPU speed all the time? Seriously. Your battery life must suck.
sent from a series of tubes.
yea but otherwise my performance sucks lol.
most of the time on aosp and cm7 i cant even stream music without it freezing unless i set it to performance.

What is RUU? How do I do this? I tried to search the forums but it said search was unavailable. Would this return the phone to 100% stock, no recovery software or anything? That's really what I'd like to do now, to make sure there's not a trace of rooting or flashing left, that way I can start from scratch.

I tried using RomManager to flash Clockwork, and it still booted to Amon RA recovery. I'm going to try to use ADB to do it, but I don't know that I'll be able to.
EDIT: Manually pushed ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 onto my Hero.
Before I touch any of these settings, what will format boot, format system, formata data, and format cache do? Can it brick my phone, or will it let me flash a ROM onto a completely clean phone?
hmm thats very weird thats just about the only thing rom manager is good for now adays is installing cmr

You will not brick, that is how you wipe. You should also wipe dalvik cache. Go to this site for really good instructions :

But please note when u wipe u "wipe" lol you will loose all your market apps and anything else installed just make sure you dont wipe sd card then youll loose all your photos and music backups exc...

So I downloaded the 2.1 update from the HTC website, ran it, and it completed with no problems. Phone booted up, and now I'm trying to go through the tutorial, lagging all the while. It's almost impossible to type.
Does this mean it's hardware related?
sorry for not posting sooner but lagg isnt usually caused by hardware the kernal probably has to worm up also is it the 2.27 software update or 2.3 because 2.27 lagged pretty bad anyway and if your typing with vibrate on keypress try turning that of it always helped me.

I had to start from scratch several times and my phone was pretty snappy when I first started it up after RUU. Also you stated your phone was fine and then just started running slow for no reason, was this after it took a bump?

sorry, RJhall..
I don't recall it taking any bumps before it just stopped working like it has.
However, I have found how to "fix" the problem. If I squeeze the sides of the phone in, it stops lagging and works. Any touch motions of queued up will then immediately execute. Any idea what in the phone is physically broken?

Never had mine apart, maybe someone has and can help..
Okay so things have gotten increasingly weird. It used to be that squeezing the sides of the phone allowed the touch screen to work. Yesterday that stopped working altogether. Today, the screen stopped turning on at all. The LCD simply doesn't turn on. Pressing the red button turns on the phone (it vibrates when turning it on) and when the phone is on, pressing the red button lights up the keys (so I know it's waking the phone up). I took the phone apart (much simpler than I thought it would be) but I was unable to find anything that seemed out of place or broken. Does anyone have any ideas?

problems while running blu kuban

Im actually having 2 problems at the moment, first is every few days or so the phone will just completely shut down and not restart without pulling that battery, then when it does boot up, it shows there was still plenty of battery left. 2nd issue, which is the more important. My voice is not working right. I get no notification at all when I get messages and even tho I save messages, the next day they are gone. Everything else seems to be running fine. Does anybody kno whats wrong?
I'm guessing you're in the wrong forum, unless somehow Blu Kuban is somehow out for this phone already without me knowing about it!
