Hi, once I got my HTC Hero yest, I did a software update automatically on the way home. Do I have the lastest update to my phone? I notice that I have a hard time pressing the "+ new message" for SMS, it does not do anything. Or even then I want to add a widget to the screen, I have a hard time pressing the widget icon, but no issues pressing Program, shortcuts, and folder, just the top most selection.
Same thing happens where It doesnt do anything when pressing the + icon to add a company for the HTC stocks widget
Is there a way to calabrate the screen?

Go to menu>settings>Language&Keyboards>Text Input>scrool to bottom and you have choices of reset or calibrate
Thank you very much, however I though it would fix my issue of not being able to select new message icon, but I still cant select it.
Wont work for
+ New Message
+ Add Contact
Cant add Widget, but can add program, shortcuts and folders just fine, seems to be a sense issue for the top most "add" icon
seems like it might be a sense issue
Not really a way to calibrate the screen that I'm aware of

Try doing a factory reset, maybe some of those 1's and 0's got lost in the ether.LOL! Of course everything that you've setup on the phone except for your sdcard will be erased. If you need to that Settings>PrivacyFactory Reset. Hope this solves the issue.

Yeah the directions take you to where it says calibrate your screen. Does it help(shrugging shoulders)dunno! Personnally if feel that when you are doin those ota's and driving or moving signal loss and tower changes may give you chance to drop data.IMO

Man, you really should just spend a week or so messing with your phone instead of cluttering up the general section with questions that have all been answered or are easily answered by reading the guide that came with your phone. Not trying to be a ****, but Ive seen u start several threads here in the wrong section. Please use the search finction on the sight, and the user manual for your phone.

I would love to have 2.2 on my hero, please email me with details, already rooted all that is needed is ROM. email me if you can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: No longer a noobie and figured it out. Sorry for spamming my email in earlier post didn't even think about it sorry.

You're asking to get spammed.
This is a pubic forum that gets indexed.
Try looking at the Development section of the forum for AOSP or Dev Rom.
The software version that was on my sons hero I just rooted was
2.32.651.7 .Android version 2.1 update 1 . He got that update done at a Sprint store but the system update option under settings should give it to ya. His ran pretty smooth.

Hi, I only recently had this problem. Basically when im on the HTC Sense menu, if I go to email I can browse the emails flicking up and down however, when I press an email to open it nothing happens. You can see the press action but the email doesnt open instead I have to go to inbox and open that way.
Anyway else experienced this?
Thanks
I experienced the same thing on my hd 2. must have been after the installation of some thing. the problem is u can never know what caused it. anyways I had to hard reset as I couldn't stand feeling something is wrong . after owning the hd2 since oct, I really believed they rushed its release.
Hey thanks for the reply. I just ended up doing a hard reset, think you might be right i've hadd to hard reset a few times now because of problems I have had !!
still looking for a contact manager though!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I get this sometimes, theres a quicker and easier way to get it working (until it happens again of course, but this doesnt tend to happen again until youve hard reset)
Tap the windows tab at the top left of the screen so you get to the program files, then on the bottom left of the screen, tap "lock"
Now just unlock the phone and the problem will be gone
TouchPal Pro
On my case, the same problem occurs after I uninstall TouchPal Pro. The "Windows-Lock" cycle solve this issue.

I thought i was getting smarter...i was downloading and installing stuff with no problems until this clock program. Can some one tell me how to make it work please. I am running cht's newest version but can't get the clocks to show up...it shows that they are installed...but can't find where they are and how to make them work. Help please...thank you
It would probably help to know what clock app you are trying to use.
It should be in the advanced settings in CHT...there's a drop-down list there to choose whatever compatible clock you have installed.
Thank you I will look in the advanced setting and see if that helps.
I have cookies 1.8.5 and there is no advanced drop menu I can find. I'm trying to use the clock called "the bull C3". From forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670136

Ok well I'm running an older version of CHT (1.7) so I don't know if it's in the same place, but I access it by hitting the "menu" soft button on the home screen, then choosing "edit home layout". Once it enters the editing mode there, you should find the "advanced" button in the bottom right.
Ok...I found the advanced menu right where you said it was..but the clocks I installed don't show up in the options...do I have to install the cab file in a special place to get it to show up in the advanced menu?

Hmm...it was my understanding that whichever clock you have installed (I think you can only have one "actively installed" at a time) would show when you picked the appropriate option in the list...like "analog 1" or "analog 2"
Try picking each of the options that do show in the clock list, and see if any of them are the one you think is installed
Nope that didn't work...it's not there...I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. I really appreciate all your help. I must be retarded or something.

lol I'm glad it works for you now, I know how frustrating that kind of thing can be. Had you done a soft-reset after you first installed the clocks? Sometimes changes in WM just need to be kick-started with a 2nd reboot.
Yeah I tried to re-boot it several times after installing it...then I uninstalled it and went on here asking for help...then I installed again and re-booted several times during our discussion....then on one re-boot the standard analog clock disappeared...so one more re-boot and magically the one I installed showed up. Now I'm just praying it doesn't have a virus or something. You don't happen to know of a anti-virus for the hd2 do you? Thanks again for all your help.

Nope...I know that there are some AV apps out there for winmo, but I've never felt compelled to test or use any. I'd have a hard time believing that your issue was casued by anything like that though. I'd suspect it's more likely related to the fact you installed all the clock cabs at once, but that's just a guess.

In Marketplace look up 'Lookout'. Its free and works great. But if you are on the stock ROM still dont use it. I had some issues when I was on my original ROM and it froze it to the point I had to hard reset. But it includes antivirus, Malware scan, firewall, etc. Plus it has a nice feature where if its stolen you can remotely (from any PC) 'NUKE' your phones contents. You can also pinpoint its location and go get it. GL!

After installing the clocks cab. then go into edit mode press the old clock till the remove tab appears, then hold the empty sapce till add new tab.appears and select analog 1 from dropdown menu, soft reset and new clock should show. In fact you can get 2 different clocks to display-- one for day and one for night.
how do you get one clock for day and another for night?

Most of the clocks for the 1.8.5 it says you have to uncheck sense install/restart your phone/then click sense back on...yeah pretty complicated other wise it will not show up...usually a reboot will take care of it...As far as two different clocks..I am pretty sure that is not possible...only one at a time...
I just got my Evo on Saturday and have experienced a problem that I cant seem to fix.
Basically what happens is my home button stops functioning. Instead of taking me back to my default screen, the screen will just flash. So I have to use the back arrow now.
I have launcherpro and beautiful widgets installed, but I dont know if either of these would cause the issue.
Ive had to reboot my phone several times before its fixed, then it will randomly happen again.
Has anyone experienced this? Please help. This is so frustrating and annoying.
Thank you,
Whiteice
EDIT So I unstalled launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets and rebooted and its still happening. Im trying to find out if this is an issue others have experienced or if I have a defective unit that I need to return?
try clearing sense default, settings, applications, manage applications, touch ALL at top, scroll down to HTC Sense, touch it then scroll down to clear default

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately the option to clear default is grayed out.
Try getting default home from the market, it lets u clear it
Swyped from my fresh evo
Dude the same thing was happening to me. When u try to press the home button it would jus flicker back and forth between screens or something like that. And the only way I got rid of it buddy was rooting and flashing a new Rom, because the sense Rom has sum sort of bug in it. That's a guaranteed fix.
r0cky.Da.3v0.SU.
Are you talking about cleardefaulthome that your talking about?
And as far as rooting, Im a noob at it and not sure how to do it. Is their a one click method by chance?
Thank you,
Whiteice
No, I don't mean clear defaults. I mean flashing to a custom built Rom. That's the only way that problem will stop. I only know this because when I first got my Evo I had the same problem. I thought it was something I was going to have to deal with but I noticed the problem was gone sum time after me rooting my phone. This was not planned, it was just knowledge from experience. Yes there is a one click method for your phone called unrevoked3. You will jus need a few things. To install on ur computer. Check out this link and follow the instructions very carefully. http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/howto-root-the-htc-droid-incredible/ if u seem to get stuck which u probably will, jus let me know and I can TRY to help. It shouldn't be a hard or long process but if u don't have any experience then it might take a little while. And by the way, follow these instructions at ur own will, because I am not responsible for what happens to your phone. If u find something that u don't completely understand, just do what I do, Google It! GOOD LUCK

And by the way, you'll love your phone ten times more once u root. Speed and full customization can't get any better.http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l596/r0ckyda5st4rg3neral/snap20101121_100650.png

Hi all,
Updated to Stock ROM 3.14 and now my txt message converstions don't show in either converstation mode or traditional i.e when i tap 'reply' the previous messages are not showing.
Thiis was always sporadic in 1.66 (sometimes they show sometimes they don't, seemed to depend how you entered into the message client)
Any ideas?
I suggest you do a hard reset as with a official ROM or a custom ROM it is always good to do a hard reset after you flash just to be double sure e erything in the ROM was set correctly. Sometimes Win Mo needs a sweft kick in the a$$ lol.

To be honest I really don't know if SPB Backup will backup you rCookies Home Tab settings or not as I have nevery used SPB Backup. But it is worth a try but just incase take and make a hand writtin list of what you have on your Cookies Home Tab and what settings you are using for it so you can set it back up like you had it. I only use Microsoft My Phone as it backes up whent I really need backed up and I do the rest the old fahion way as it keeps me well aquanted with how to use my HD2.

Ah man, i hard reset and tested the messaging again and it works fine. But when i restore the problem returns so it backed up the original bug!
I'm gonna have to start over, 3 hours i spent today playing with settings and finding my away around the new cookie monster editor
I hope you are right in that i should of just hard reset after the rom upgrade. I spose now I'm gonna have to test the messaging is still working after i change every setting as i go... a wasted evening... spose i could do it when at work tomorrow heee heee!

I'd already done the hard reset but my spb backup saved cookie monster and everything else so all cool
problem is now, i have the sent message notification problem again! Don't spose you have a fix for that? The above thread is all i could find on it and the original fix wont work for me as the .exe is incompatible with newer versions.

Hi, Can't seem to find an answer on this, when I go to setting in magazine ux, say as an example on the news widget, I click the three dots to customize the widget, it just spins and spins, no options to select which news I would like to add. Anyone else have this problem? It happens with all widgets, news, sports etc.
thanks

Yup, multiple times. I can scroll threw the news stories straight from the widget, but soon as I click the three dots, a white side window opens, but nothing populates, it just spins. I tried it on a second device at work and it was the same thing.

it seems that we're going to have to wait for a fix from samsung, hopefully they are aware of the issue
I've been talking to Flipboard support to see if there is anything they can do. I'll post if I find anything new. So far they have just told me to reset everything, etc.
Frustrating!
I also have the same problem straight out of the box. So I sent it back and this is the third device I have received with the same problem. I contacted Samsung and they said there is nothing they could do need to send it back for repair and it would take two weeks. I'm thinking it's a software issue maybe with flipboard app, I got a flipboard error at some point. Hope to see fixed with patch or update. Don't want to send a brand new tablet back for repair with a two week turnaround.
Also on another note when I called Samsung for an issue with the back just below the camera there was a hump they told me that the tablet I had purchase from Best Buy was not a valid SN and that the tablet had no warranty. After that I mad it a point to verify my SN with Samsung to make sure I was covered by the 1 year warranty.
Also change language to Spanish and it works but not in English
