Android : Upgrade Failed With HTC Hero Type Phones
Dec 8, 2009
We have a number of users experiencing crashes with our apps on Hero type phones (hero, droid eris, etc.). After some debugging, it appears that they upgraded the app, but that the phone somehow cached the old version of the AndroidManifest. For instance, the app version is still reported as one less than the latest, and the crash is caused by the phone not seeing a new activity in the Manifest (which is true for the old version manifest, but the new manifest of course has the activity defined). This seems to be limited to Hero phones, but we've seen it on all types (tmeu hero, verizon desirec, etc.). Is there any way to fix this besides spending many characters of the limited description size on something like "Hero users: please uninstall before upgrading"? Will there be a Hero fix to fix this behavior?

I am trying to create an Android maps project. Everything was working fine until i added Salesforce classes into it. Now it doesn't even compile. It gives me: Type Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null error.
I tried 1) Increasing memory in the .ini file. That didn't help. 2) Project -> Clean option. It cleans, builds again and then gives me the same error.
I am using Snow Leopard and i have the latest version of Android on my system. I just installed it last week. Plus, my eclipse is Ganymede. I even tried it with Galileo.

I've been using the G1 for a while now and have been quite happy with it except that it only goes up to 1.6. In order to develop on 2.1 and beyond, I need to upgrade to a newer phone. I'd like to continue it using the new dev phone as my personal phone as well which limits it to AT&T for me. Seems like my only choices, according to http://www.google.com/phone, are nexus one, samsung captivate or HTC aria. Are all 3 good developers phones? Should I look for an unlocked droid instead? The nexus looks great but at it's a bit steep considering I'll probably need an android tablet for development as well soon. BTW, any thoughts on what would be a good developers tablet and when they might be available.

Not sure what is going on. Running Windows Vista x64. Not had really any problems with eclipse. I had to upgrade to 1.5 and when I did that I got all kinds of install errors. So I said 'f-it'. I decided to start over and downloaded the 1.5SDK, downloaded the Eclipse for Java, Not Eclipse classic (someone said that was an issue). So now I have Eclipse for Java (or something to that name). Each time I try to compile it says 'Unknown Error: SDK is not loaded yet'

Ok not sure where I'm going wrong. Here's everything I have done. Starting with stock DX
- Used UniversalRoot to gain root access
- Installed and ran Titanium Backup, backup saved to SDcard
- Reran UniversalRoot and unrooted
- Flashed with SBF, seemed successful but my user data was still intact
- Booted to stock system recovery, wiped data/factory reset & wipe cache
- apply sdcard:update.zip
E:signature verification failed Installation aborted

Recently I have successfully upgrade my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 to Jelly Bean 4.2.2
my friend to upgrade his.
However, I got stuck.
Below is the sequence I performed before I got stuck:
1. The Tab was on firmware 2.3.3 version
2. I root and install clockworkmod using CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS file.
3. I performed backup
4. Then I follow the instruction written in one of the site for upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.2.2 i.e. wipe data/factory reset and "wipe cache partition and wipe Dalvik cache.
5. Load CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 custom ROM
6. Then it reboot to Cyanogen but I had trouble to load google app package. tried a couple of time it went back to main menu.
7. This is when thing went wrong. I restore back from the back up I did earlier. Restore was successful but reboot and hang.
8. Then I powered off again. Restart using (power and volume +) then I've got error message such as
E: unknown volume for path [/system],
E: unknown process volume! Skipping...
E: unknown volume for path [/ data]
etc, etc...

I just recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy GT-17500L (its a Bell Canada phone). After purchasing the phone (which was originally unlocked) I bought a Solo mobile sim-card, which was needed in order to use the phone on my Solo monthly plan. Everything was working fine until I decided to try and update the firmware from 1.5 to 1.6; unfortunately, like a few others from Canada, I didn't properly read the guide and after the upgrade, the phone was "re-locked" and wasn't accepting my sim-card. After going through the guide posted on Pg.4 here (Bell Canada users and Brazilian Users - Galaxy 7500L (notice the L)), with the help of Rasta-Man FB posts and others, I was able to get my phone back to the original firmware, but now I'm having reception issues. The phone will at times pick up the Solo Netowork (I'm still using the original solo sim card), but then drop it after 10 minutes and just say there is no service. When I search for networks, it recognizes the Solo one (I'm guessing b/c of the S.C) but it isn't able to connect.

Sweeter Home 2 is the most innovated, customizable home replacement software I've seen, but it is only available for 1.6 & 2.0. We need this for the Hero, Eris, and other 1.5 phones? Please help get Sweeter Home 2 released for the 1.5. The dev team will release a build for 1.5 if enough people click the link below and submit a comment asking for it: Running Android 1.5 and can't install the beta? : sweeterskins.net themes and news about Sweeter Home More info: sweeterskins.net themes and news about Sweeter It's unlike any other home replacement, allows you to store apps in different trays that pop-up at a click of the button, add custom calendars to the home screen, add chat and sms blocks to home screen, everything and I mean everything on the screen is customizable.

I haven't got a Hero yet, but while waiting for delivery I'm trying to anticipate possible problems and realise that one of the first could be typing the WPA passphrase for our WiFi router accurately with stubby fingertips on an unfamiliar touchscreen keyboard. Is it possible to see the passphrase you type (and so spot the typing errors)?

I originally titled this with the word "quirkiness" instead of "bugs" but after reading the android reference docs, I believe it's a bug.
I'm having problems with the app icons and labels for the Light Racer series of games I've released on Hero. The games seem to run fine but for whatever reason, they are having problems displaying more than the package name on the home screen on Hero phones. The app manager shows the right name and icon but not the home screen. It also on some phones shows a random image as the icon, not even the app icon! I used a copy of a manifest that I used originally for Light Racer 1.0 from when the Android SDK v1.0 was originally released. For whatever reason, I put the words "Light Racer" directly in to the manifest for the android:label. I also don't specify that same label for the launch activity. I've since changed the label to the default @string/app_name but people are still reporting problems. I thought that maybe not setting the label on the launch activity was causing the problem but then I read this: Code...

Ok, my question here is about the speed in which the Androids operate. I have a HTC Hero, I have it rooted and running the Fresh 1.1 ROM and the more I play with it, the more I don't like it. I work at a Verizon franchise and get to play with the Moto Droid all day and it is amazing at how much quicker it is. So, what I am asking is, is there antother DROID powered device besides the Nexus One that puts out similar speeds? And is there one for Sprint that is coming out soon or rumored to be atleast?

It happened to me last week, I set the alarm early for work but it failed to go off. Luckily for me I was already awake and thought I had set it wrong. I forgot all about it... Until this morning when it did the same again. I did a test on the alarm and set it go to off after a couple if minutes to test if it was working and it this time it went off properly?

With any other phone, if an SMS fails to send due to no signal, it stays in the outbox, and is automatically retried when there's a signal again.
So why not on Hero? I tried to send a message just now, it failed. When I find a signal... nothing happens. MOREOVER, when I bring up the failed message, and hit SEND, it says "invalid content"... I eventaully worked out this is because it doesn't think I'm re-sending the failed message, it thinks I'm trying to "REPLY" to it with a fresh message.
Is there any way to resolve this very basic issue?

Has anyone else had this issue while trying to play MP3's through the Music player? I downloaded this album the other day (legally of course), the first track plays fine but the rest of them just throw up this error.
"Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file"
The tracks play fine in media player so I'm a little stumped.

How do I type a word without adding it to my dictionary? Say I'm purposely misspelling a word for an example of something like "haha, you totally just typed computer instead of computer" but I don't want to add that word/use the word it suggests. I can't figure it out!
