HTC Hero :: Update Has Deleted Factory Widgets
Aug 27, 2010
Yesterday I did an update check on my HTC Hero, even though I already had 2.1 eclair on it, it noted there was a new update available, but being impatient I didn't read what update it was, and just downloaded and updated.
In software info it says:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
---
Software number: 3.32.405.2
When the update was complete, it deleted ALL my factory widgets. Not just off the home-screen, but completely off the OS. I cannot add them. The ones missing of the top of my head are Clock/Weather widget. The stand-alone weather widget. The twitter widget. The email widget. The notes widget. The bookmark widget. Friends widget.... Probably more that I can't think of. These are completely gone from the phone, I cannot re-add them.
Has anyone else had this problem? Seems very unusual... The OS has suddenly become quite buggy too... Voice to text isn't working at all, alot of the applications are force-shutting down. Is this perhaps a buggy release?
Might be worth noting I've had absolutely no issues with any previous software updates.

Exactly what is deleted/defaulted? Will I lose anything on my SD card? Do you lose all of yours apps? Can paid apps be redownloaded? Do you lose root? Do you default to out-of-the-box 2.1 build?

i think i deleted the wrong files and now my phone won't go back the "HTC ONE" screen. I've done the process of a recovery and then allow the red triangle to come up, from there i know i should hold power + Up, and that should take me to a black screen with blue letters, and i should select something about "partition" but this black and blue screen, i remember seeing it as a thumbnail in a folder i deleted. I thought it was an ad photo saved onto my phone as spam (as the folder was named adSOMETHING) and so i deleted it and now, i feel i have have screwed myself over. I have no way of getting another phone right now. How can i get my laptop to read my phones connection and allow me to copy and paste the files needed to get it running again?

I want to create a settings file for my app which I store in the internal memory. I am wondering if this file will be deleted when the user updates the app to a newer version.

I recently rooted my droid eris and installed the sense-able2.0 custom rom. I was just wondering if I could delete the zip files out of the root directory after they are installed?

1) Does anyone know if the update still works? I did tried it today but didn't get too far. On the LGMobile Support Tool it says Model: GW620R Version: V10C. Everything looks good so far but when it gets to the analysis part, I have to close it because it says "Software update is not supported for this model".
2) For people who did the firmware update, do your text messages get deleted? Since my text messages could potentially be deleted, how do I back them up or save them to my SIM card?

Lots of people recommend doing factory reset of their phones AFTER updates and some others talk about factory reset BEFORE receiving an update and some others recommend both!.What exactly I should do before I jump from stock JellyBean to flashing stock Android 4.2.2 (once the KDZ file is available) in order to get 100% free troubles on the short and long run. I'm on LG G2 16 GB.

It's been a couple months, so I'm not clear. My Inc is rooted on 2.2, but otherwise factory. I have S-OFF set, so I can flash whatever I want. If I flash a factory recovery onto the phone won't the OTA update take? Then I can just use ROM MGR to flash back the ClockWork recovery. Is this a bad assumption? I do have the factory 2.2 recovery which I can flash.

I have an AT&T Galaxy S4 I337 that I have been running Cyanogenmod on for quite a while now. Well, after getting bored and wanting to revert to the original firmware, I went through the process of a factory reset to stock through Odin. Everything went smoothly, all that's left is to update to 4.4.2 Kitkat and to root my phone once again. I went into settings and began the OTA update thinking it would install 4.4.2. After about 20 minutes of updating and downloading, my phone finally finished rebooting, but when I checked to see what version of android I was running, it was still 4.2.2. Kies also says that I'm running the latest firmware. Why won't my phone or Kies pick up the new Kitkat update? Does it have something to do with the fact that I flashed a custom ROM before?

Got my Desire 2 weeks ago on T-mobile from the Carphone Warehouse. This morning I downloaded the over the air update and it all installed ok but I have a problem. For some reason, my desk clock, people and htc music widgets have vanished from my homescreens and widget menu.

This phone looks sweet, and my friends are impressed by the sleek looking widgets on the screens, but I don't have the heart to tell them that the widgets don't update automatically. This is most visible in the FriendFeed, and "News" widget, but I suspect may also affect the Weather and even the People widget. My "Background Data" and "Auto Sync" settings are on. For example my phone was at my home for most of the weekend, where I have wifi. But as of Monday morning, the FriendFeed is still showing Friday's updates.

Beautiful Widgets just posted an update with full skinning support and a nice selection of download skins (including some great flip clocks in both the regular and small size).It looks better than ever

I did a factory reset on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100P. Everything went fine until I noticed Google play store now tells me my device is not compatible with a number of apps, such as Google Chrome browser.
I noticed that firmware is now gingerbread, android version 2.3.4.I tried several times to update but the phone repeatedly says my software is up to date! What do I do??

Just an FYI, there is a new version of Beautiful Widgets on the Market that fixes the weather update issue so many people have been reporting. Open the Market, hit the options button and go to "downloads", and you can update from there. Just got the update myself and among some other neat changes, the weather actually updates properly now.

I just checked the market for updates on my applications and there is an update for beautiful widgets. I thought this app was pulled from the market? Has anyone done this update? I am afraid that if i update it will change the way it looks to something less appealing because of the whole HTC C&D letter.

Anyone else having issues with widgets disappearing after the Froyo update? It's not that they disappear off of the home screen; but that they are just gone. For example, PDANet, it's installed and working. I used to have the widget option and had it on my screen. Now, the app is still installed, but I no longer have the option to add the widget. It's not listed in the available widgets. This has also happened with the Mint.com widget.

I got ballsy and since T-Mo is sending me a new phone since this one is Hardware locked and I can't get into ODIN, I opened up mini Kies and got the new firmware. All it did was re-install all the bloat I deleted before and got rid of root.
I don't know if this is universal or I got lucky, but it worked. It hung on the Galaxy S screen for about a minute, but after that it's awesome.
I see 12 Sats indoors and I connect to 7. Outside I see 13 and I connect to 11.
Vibrant is the best phone I've ever owned after this GPS update.

Yesterday my Droid Incredible kept telling me there was an update to my phone. I waited until 8 or 9 hours later and then did the update last night. EVERY single app, contact, messgae, email...everything is GONE...the phone is like the day I got it. I had no warning and I'm beyond devastated. I was able to use Backup Assistant for my contacts, LOTS of pictures are gone, ALL my message threads are gone and on Monday, I'm going to have to reset my Exchange email at work. I've reloaded my personal email and some apps I remember, but I cannot tell you how upset I am.
One of the biggest problems is I don't know what I don't have? I had so many apps, and I don't have a record of them.
Is there some way to back up everything on the phone, all settings, etc, to a website so this never happens again? I am NOT rooted and a I have Froyo 2.2

I had a HTC Hero which I sold to a friend.Before sending him the phone I Goolged how to log my Google account out of the Hero so that my friend could log in under his account.The answer I found on a multitude of website was to perform a hard reset of the phone, back to factory setting.As such, I performed the Factory Reset but the phone was originally Unlocked.Now my friend is saying he cannot make calls with ihs Tesco mobile sim.
Would the reset cancel the unlocking and revert the phone back to locked to a network?

I did a factory reset because i thought it would fix a number of problems i had before and after the 2.1 OTA.
1. HTC's weather app wouldn't update on it's own or manually (sometimes) (not a force close issue)
2. Mobile network issue. Places where i would get 3-4 bars got 1-2 (sometimes 3) and the "D" under 3G mostly changes to the up down arrow. This was on 1.5 and might have to wait maybe another day to see if this continue on 2.1.
3. apps is my main issue. I know all the apps are in the download section on the market and i saved my apps in the SD card but when I reinstalled, scores and profiles from different apps and not there. Is there a way to restore the apps to where there they where before the factory reset instead of the apps acting like it's been just downloaded.

I received the latest update a couple of days ago. I am like many on the forum that was having issues and growing very tired of this phone.
Issues I was having:
1- Blank display during a call. I have been having the issue of the phone display going blank during a call. The way it's designed to work is that when you place the phone next to your ear the display turns off to 1- save battery and 2- reduce heat. Mine was staying off which made it impossible to traverse a voice response system.
2- Lag during dialing.
3- Time without a signal. ** Retracted - This issue still exists. After rebooting multiple times the issue is back.
Fix - Reset to factory defaults. So far so good. Best the phone has been since updating from 1.5.
Never rooted- Stock versions
fw - 2.1
baseband - 2.42.01.04.27
kernel - 2.6.29-8a03cb9a, htc-kernel@and18-2 #1
build- 2.37.605.4 CL 185970 release-keys
software- 2.37.605.4
browser- WebKit 3.1
PRI - 2.11_002
