How to stop startup vibration? I detest this feature very much! help!
Im sorry to report I can't really help you with this as im no real genius on the matter but im guessing it may be due to some sort of P.O.S.T response on the device similar to the beep you here on some older pc's and laptop's. If so it may be easier for someone to find the right registry entry to change. Then again I may be talking out of my backside. Good Luck!

Are you talking about vibrate on connection ?
Start> phone> menu>options> advanced> uncheck vibrate device when connection is established.
He's talking about when you turn the device on..
I think he's talking about the vibrate when the phone boots (from a soft or hard reset, or from turning the phone completely off)
why so bother about that vibration?
What's it matter...? He still wants to turn it off....
I'd like to as well..
I means how to stop power-on vibration or hard or soft startup vibration. anyone has already stop the vibration, it's really boring!
i would actually be interested in that as well, i have my phone setup to automatically reset itself every day at 3 in the morning, and the vibration from the reset sometimes wakes me up.
yea, i dun like the vibration either.. But i doesnt make a very big deal though
My phone feels shaking , something loose from vibrating effect.

It is decreasing the battery life time , maybe not much for 1 boot.. but if you boot 20 times in a day.. ( god may know why ) Than it would be handy

I think the booting itself will require more power than the one short vibration at the beginning

the vibrating sure isnt helping the battery life either and i would like to disable this also. 10+ resets a day here and each time it vibrates my wife thinks someone is texting me! lol
Additionally, can anyone help get rid of those red numbers during boot-up?
I know that's an obnoxiously complex task that may be impossible for seemingly little payoff, but consider:
1. They prevent using the entire display for splash images, unless you want it covered up for part of the time,
2. My friend is color-blind, and won't be able to tell if they're red, green, or purple - I don't want him to not be sure,
3. They could attract a bull, if you waved it around accidentally in Madrid,
Etc.
I'm sure you can tell there are no shortage of reasons.
Anyone have any ideas?

If you're SR'ing 10 times a day, it's time to fix something on your phone.

i probably flash just about every new rom thats posted in the rom section. that and i've been testing the android builds that get released
Has anyone ever had any issues with the backlight on the Hero?
Lately, sometimes, when I turn my phone on or something, it's as if there is no screen at all. It stays black, eventhough I know that the OS is running. I've even tried rebooting, taking out the battery, etc... I can tell it's booting normally because it does the little vibrate, and then vibrates once the OS is fully loaded, etc... cept, when this is occuring, I cannot see anyting on the screen. If I tilt it just right, I can JUST BARELY see the outline of a window or something (whatever is up on the screen at that time). Then after dealing with this issue for a couple of minutes, and rebooting a few times, it works itself out.
I'm thinking I'm starting to have some type of hardware failure, but really don't want that, because I'm due to upgrade to the EVO here in about a month and don't want a stupid replacement just so I can go buy a new phone a month later, ya know? Anyway, wondered if anyone has had the issue before and what, if anything, they may know to do to fix it.
Thanks guys!
Yes I get the same issue off and on. I think it has to do with CM6 and the brightness settings. Not sure though.
For some reason when I flash CM6 it sets the Automatically Adjust Backlight setting to be off. I figured it was just the nature of the rom, so everytime I flash a new one, I go and turn it on in Display settings.

No man, I'm saying, even when I first turn on my phone, I dont even see the white HTC screen. It's completely black, but vibrates like normal when I press the power button to initially turn it on. It's fukd I'm pretty sure. I can't see a thing on it, not even in recovery. It's completely black, but vibrates at the correct times it should vibrate (when I first press power button to turn on, when the rom initially boots up, etc...)
I'm thinking my hero is dead....
I only had a little less than a month to go before I could get an EVO too.... damn phone.
Have you done any damage to it? Sprint might replace it for free.

Nope, I didn't do anything to it... unfortunately, I'm stuck with CM6 installed on it, because I can't see it to be able to switch back to the stock ruu... LoL
so I hope they don't notice and then say, well, too bad, u'r screwed because u rooted u'r phone. But no, my phone is still immaculate except the 'End' key is chipping off (the paint). That's about it
I'm hoping maybe they'll let me just upgrade to the EVO since I'm due in about a month anyway. I doubt it, but even if they give me a replacement (a new one) then I'd be okay with that.
Welp, they ended up replacing my phone with a replacement (refurbed) Hero... I pretty sure this one is 99% new though, not a single problem aesthetically and it seems to be running froyo quite smoothly. It basically feels like a brand new phone (which according to Sprint Reps, there's an 80% chance of getting a new replacement and 20% chance of getting a used replacement). I'm thinking I'm in the 80% range
Very happy thus far... just my touch screen is a little quirky right now b/c I installed a clear screen protector and believe some of the moisture is interfering with touches... which has been getting better as the hours go on. So that's' good!
Thanks guys on the info.... It's just fine for getting me through until Sept. 15th so I can upgrade meself on the EVO!!!!
We shall see if it holds up until then
Take ya'lls and thanks for all the replies
You should get the epic instead. Lol

Hello all, I've got a rather complicated problem I was hoping that someone here would be able to help me with, before I have to resort to getting a replacement phone.
I while back my Hero stopped working after some water damages. I managed to fixed the thing by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol, it turned on and everything, but the brightness setting would cause the screen to flickers out of control, or just go off altogether, until I decrease the brightness to the lowest setting.
Ok, this still works out for me, unfortunately due to some carelessness, I broke the connector on the screen. Of course, the next best thing to do was to buy another screen from ebay. I was hoping that somehow that this would fix the brightness issue as well, but of course it didn't. The phone boots and runs just fine once I lower the brightness all the way, except for one problem: I get no bootscreen.
When turning on the phone, I can feel it turn on because it buzzes once, but I will see nothing on the screen until it gets to the lockscreen. I assume that this has something to do with the sensor keeping the screen off because the system hasn't boot completely to get the brightness setting down? Anyways, I was happy with it able to boot, so I went on to do my normal rooting thing. Everything went fine except I get no data connection after rooting Cyanogen/AOSP, so I used ROM Manager to install the OTA update, and after the phone restarted, it never comes back on again...
I have a feeling that it's giving me some sort of error, I just can't see it because I don't get to see the boot process. I can't boot into recovery either because I can't see that screen either. My only guess is that the light sensor has something to do with this.
Does anyone have any idea how I can go about to fix it if this is at all possible? Is there any way I can revert it back to factory without having the need to see the recovery screen? Or maybe if someone has an idea on how I can do this blind...
I know, crazy problem, but I'm really stuck here, and looks like I won't have a phone for the next few days...
I appreciate any help in advance.
Ouch.... it is alot!
So I hope ur due very soon for a new phone... sometimes u can see old heros for $30 or $40.... but until then...
I think ur best bet is the RUU via usb from HTC since u can't see certain screens and with this method it's just plug and wait Cuz ur computer will tell when it's finished.
The RUU zip file requires that u can load into hboot screen so unless u can, then that's no good.
Good luck

Thanks! I'm not due for a discount for another month, and my contract doesn't expire for another 2 months after that...
Can you tell me how I can get to the hboot screen? I think I can get to the Recovery Screen by holding [Home]+[Power], although I just can't see it to make any selection/change. Is there a specific button combination to get to the hboot?
Hboot:
From off...
Lower Volume button + power button at the same time

Hey guys so. My thrill dropped in value even more the other day when i turned my screen on. And all of a sudden realized that led for the capacitive home button has either blown or severely dimmed. I have never heard of this happening on any device. And it is kinda ugly to look at. I have tried reboots, roms, LG hidden menu... everything to try to get it back. All to no avail. Then i decided it would be far more pleasant to look upon if all the led's were dead. So i apart from taking my phone apart and shorting them out i have tried everything to achieve this goal. Still failure was my result.
My questions to you, the community, is:
1 has this ever happened to you?
2 does anyone no a way of disabling them with a script or mod?
Thanks
do you have the option to leave them on all the time?
if you do leave them on for at least 30 minutes
that in my opinion should reheat the light and just maybe have a working light again.

That is the way Samsung controls the LEDs for the capacitive buttons on GB and ICS.
When I had the Thrill I used this app to keep the lights on with the screen. If I recall correct there was a way to have them always off. But I'm not sure.

So... woke up this morning and the home button is now brighter than it has been. But its still a bit more dim then the rest... strange...
isn't the phone covered under warranty?
it is less than a year old right?
Like a fool.. i didn't get the warranty package.
Doesn't matter any way. I scratched the speaker out to make it look silver. Lol
yeah, I wanted to do the same thing to the speaker but was too afraid to press too hard or go over and scratch the screen.
Well I think this phone is great even thou my daily is the galaxy skyrocket, but I like it so much that I bought my daughter a Thrill from craigslist for $150 unlocked, I thought it was a very good deal
Hey Guys,
I apologise for the long Title but I coudlnt figure out a better way to to title the thread...
anyways I went to bed and plugged in my phone as per usual with an alarm set for 1230pm. come 1230pm, alarm goes off, i snooze it until 1pm. The next time it goes off, the alarm sounds for about a split second and then its off - I didnt turn it off.
So obviously i am a bit concerned since this has never happened before. I check the device and its off. Mind you this entire time the phone is plugged into the wallcharger from HTC.
I think its a random reboot (which i have never had before) and try to reboot the phone - nothing happens.
I try the hard reboot - nothing
The lights, both soft keys and LED for power will not even turn on or respond. Plugging it into a computer, it isnt recognized. Its as if the device is just dead. The power was at 100% too.
I would like to add that it is currently plugged in. I am hoping it simply, inexplicably lost power (happened on my Xperia T) and i have to give it some long-term juice. It does get a bit warm while plugged in right now.
it was running CM10.1 nightly 5-20.
does anyone have any insight or advice for this?

This is the 3rd incident that I know of a phone dieing. Mine was one, then there was another, and now you. All running CM 10.1. When Mine died I was transferring files via usb with the computer so I figured something fried in there (weird but the only explanation at the time). I came here for help too. That phone is long gone at this point. The thing is that I was told it's very very hard to brick a phone like that with S-on.
I don't know. I do love CM but i'll be waiting for a stable build before I go back again. GL to you. I had it it returned under the pretense that it was a hardware failure.The other guy who's phone also bricked said that there is some sort of issue with the batteries or something. I haven't confirmed that with anyone.

You can try to scan the cm 10.1 forum. they are pretty unforgiving if you brick your phone. Try to get a logcat to them so they can take a look at it (sarcasm). They completely ignored my post (I had the alpha when it crashed and burned). He the other guy also posted there and they did go back and forth for a few post, but they squashed it pretty quickly. I haven't checked any of the AOSP forums, so it may not be CM 10.1 at all. It could very well be hardware issues. Either way, with S-off its very hard to do something like this and I'm really more convinced its hardware. But unless it can be confirmed that AOSP didn't cause the issue, then i'll hang on to my doubts and wait for something more stable. I give maybe a month or 2.

custom kernals running sense based roms and a launcher should tide me over till then. With desense version coming out and s-off soon, it should make AOSP roms more solid.

Thanks, I am dead certain its hardware related myself. I am going to leave this plugged in, maybe it really needs to get properly charged (its happened to me with my old Xperia T where it went into deeeeeep sleep due to power loss), so i will be keeping it plugged in until Monday and then taking it Rogers, thankfully i bought a warranty for just this sort of crap happening.

after you let it charge for a few hours unplug it put it under a bright light and hold power+volume down and see if it boots to bootloader. i know a few people have had this issue and the phone came back on. all said there was no charging led and wouldnt do anything

well when I had mine I tried leaving it plugged in for a day, but I didn't put it under bright light. I didn't notice a fast discharge with mine either. It was plugged into the usb port to my computer and I was transferring files. I could have missed it though, I mean I was around 90% at the time and wasn't too worried about the charge.

does anyone know if a similar issue to mine was fixed? either on XDA or somewhere else? i really just want to get back to my own One
I had this happen to mine. No fix I've seen works, they just replaced mine with new one. If they sent you scratched replacement all I can say is complain and demand another one.

So you guys have cm10.1 installed when it happened? just want to confirm it occurs only with phones with cm10 installed, and not with Stock rooted sense! I don't want to end up like this, so I'll avoid cm roms for now, I'll stick with Sense only, and If the problem occured with Stock rooted sense, I will not even root my phone
Can you guys confirm this?
Thanks in advance,
cheers
