[Q]VZW/Hero Frankenphone - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone.. So I've got my hero here.. It seems to be working ok-ish.. I seem to have gotten the phone on VZW's network, and I can Call and Text from my phone. MMS and Web are my next hurtles, I was curious if anyone has had experience in such settings. I've spent quite a few hours googling for some stuff, but everything I've come across hasn't been very helpful :/.
My Next idea is this: perhaps take an Eris (or any other) VZW rom and port it to the hero and everything will work magically?
Can anyone shed some light on the next step I should take?
Thanks!

MMS issues with 6.1 ROMS?

I know its like beating a dead horse, has anyone on TMOBILE been able to consistently get MMS messages? I have tried and tried and can't seem to get them to work. I can send them fine all day. It never receives them though. I have ran several different CAB files to try can get them going. I have even set them up manually too. Anyone managed to figure something out?

I have inconsistencies with receiving as well. It's been that way for awhile, but I'm hop[ing the next batch of 6.1 roms has this fixed. I believe Ivan got it to work on his clean rom.
Same here.. Add me to the lineup... Sending fine, receiving is the problem.. Touch 3.0
right now im testing out open touch biggy and I haven't had any issues like I did with some other 6.1's. I thought I would but so far so good. I really like this rom its the first I've tried other than itje's work. these guys really know how to cook. hopefully opentouch 4.0 will have all the bugs worked out

MMS not working w/ Hero. Cupcake/Donut work fine.

Hi All. Has anyone run into this and maybe have a solution?
I have tested 5-6 Hero ROMS and 4-5 Cupcake/Donut ROMS in the last week or two. None of the Hero ROM's will send/receive MMS. All of the Cupcake/Donut ROM's work fine as far as MMS goes. Hero always times out when sending, even to myself. I've checked the APN's and they are identical.
When I install a new ROM, I re-format my ext partition, wipe a few times and check for errors, etc., before flashing. The ROM's work as they should, the only consistent issue I have is the MMS. Usually, other people say it works fine for them.
If anyone has any ideas or has experienced this/fixed it, please let me know. I would really appreciate any help. This is a Hero daily use show stopper for me. I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this. At least I hope not!
i not sure i too see some have prob some dont .but im on hero rom right now ,have been for a while .all i have tryed i have no prob with mms at all .i have t mobile .it makes me wonder if it has some thing to do with carrier .not as much as the roms ? but i could be wrong .i have a friend on att and it issues with his mms .
Very strange. I'm on T-Mo also... I use switchrom and can go back and forth and Hero just won't work.

bt audio works for calls.
Yea I know it is but not for audio routing so you can't listen to music through it
Video playback is also still not working.
I'm running the super eclair from incubus
Well the camera on mine still isn't working after the update. It loads but when i take a picture it crashes.
I'm very new to this so I'm trying to learn as I go.
but also I'm not receiving text for some reason, everything else seems to be working fairly well.

Text messaging is a known issue with super eclair. It works on other builds.
cool now that the camera is working does everyone have MMS setup to send?

its always going to say my touch 3G, thats just what he has the build set to recognize the phone as, it shouldn't cause any problems
i have no clue what an MMI code is so im not sure
This is day two of going back to this phone and I dont have any data connection. In two more days according to Sprint I should have 100 percent access to whats on my account. I hope I have data connection soon. If I dont have it back by then I will be posting it here. I miss my data connection!

what happened there, was your Data working before you flashed to android?
I have the Vogue and the Titan. I switched from my Vogue to the Titan due to some minor issues and now my Titan is doing the same thing. Before switching back to my Vogue I flashed the rom with the Android, liked it alot and then called up sprint and did a switch back to my newly improved Vogue. According to the sprint rep it will take upto 4 days for all provisioning to be complete. As of right now I have it all working except for the data. My phone doesnt even show a data connection and when it tries to access something via internet it says "You don't have a network connection. Ths could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. Please try again when you are connected. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Ohh yah, *2 and *4 doesnt work. I was going to call them today to see if they could speed things up but cant call them this way.

yea so i have an easy fix to your problem, flash back to windows mobile once its back an loaded access the internet, it should do some sort of dialing #777 thing then flash back to android after IE loads any sort of web page.
you should be perfectly provisioned right now the max it usually takes is like 24 hours, although i do still have nightmares from my days as a service tech provisioning those sprint Direct Connect phones
but yea so if you were in android before you activated the phone thats why you dont have data
Thank you. I relized that I would probable needed to do this but I didnt want to if there was a easier way to resolve this issue. I recall that I needed to do this when I went for stock rom to nfs 6.5 and had no internet as well. I then needed to load the 6.3 rom and then back to 6.5. This time I reverted to the 6.3 nfs rom and straight to this one.
okay so I am super new to this...i have a sprint vogue and i am running the zen-hero files from my sd card...I cannot get my caller id to work to save my life...it shows just numbers when someone calls me please help...

[Q] Internet not working after debrand

Hi all,
I havent been on in awhile and have no real experience with Android. Last night and tonight I have been trying to debrand my Vodafone branded Legend and 5 minutes ago finally managed to do it.
After following the initial setup etc and connecting to my WiFi connection it was time to add my Orange Internet and MMS settings.
My internet doesnt seem to work though and wondered whether anyone can help me?
Many Thanks
James
P.S. I have searched for an answer but do not really know what I am searching for.

Facebook and GPS issues

I apologize if this is a repost. I've done extensive searching on this and found only limited results.
My girlfriend has a Droid 1. We had her first Droid replaced due to a bad proximity sensor.
The replacement worked fine for about a month or so. Now she is having issues.
First, the Facebook app won't load at all. Additionally, we tried loading it on the browser and that didn't work. That makes me think that it's a Facebook issue not a Droid issue. Is anyone else having this problem?
Second, the GPS doesn't work at all now. It can't find her location. It just keeps searching. I've read a few posts where an app may interfere with the GPS. Has anyone had this experience? Also, I've heard of the app GPS Test and the fact that it can potentially fix the problem. Could this be true?
I am willing to try anything to make her happy considering I have to deal with the complaints.
Her phone is all stock 2.2. I haven't rooted it or customized it in any way.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Edit: Now I can't access my facebook. I have a Droid also.
