"Phone is now unlocked and running on Vodafone (thanks to the folks at unlock-now.com). It detects this, and offers to update all my settings accordingly. Nice."

Hi I´m newby spanish user.

I just bougth an HTC Hero with orange and I will like to use the phone with movistart => I need to free the phone. Is it the same as unlock the phone? Is a good method unlock using emai? Did you do it at "http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/"?

A lot of thanks, sorry for my bad english.

Best regards,

Any Speed Issues noticed? Can You give us a brief Comparison to fE iphone 3G, 3GS or maybe TouchHD/Blackstone?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sphinxy:
Thanks for the quick little review!

Just a quick couple of questions:

- Im not believing the battery life some have stated as the phone seems to be fully working round the clock

- Can the handset be rotated the other landscape way? So that the trackball is on the left side?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bagpuss:
That's exactly were I got it unlocked. They were incredibly fast. I had my unlock code within about 10 minutes of ordering.

Simply insert your foreign SIM, it will prompt you for the unlock code. Enter the code from unlock-now.com, and it all works.

Bagpuss.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bagpuss:
Not sure on the battery life at the moment, as I've not had it long enough to tell.

Sadly, you can't rotate it so the trackball is on the left. It's only a software thing, though, so HTC might implement it in future.

Bagpuss.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stilghar:
Hi Bagpuss,

I have a question. I have two different gmail addresses that I normally use. Is it possible to have the two accounts setup in the phone? Basically I want to know how it handles two e-mail accounts and two google calendar accounts.

Thanks mate.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] supadupahands:
yes the sync software for the orange phone is on the micro sd card provided you plug it in go to mass storage mode and then run the .exe I have syncned all my contacts and calendar , unfortunatly you cannot sync any other outlook items this way currently
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
you set up the reply to address on the Gmail website.

It's in Settings > accounts, and it sends as whatever you have the default email address set to in the 'send mail as' section.

No, you can not be signed in to two Gmail accounts at once. you can set up a second Gmail account in the mail application to access your mail from the second account, but i don't know any way to access calendars from a second account unless you can share calendars between accounts. maybe that will work?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NisseGurra:
How is the screen outdoors?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stilghar:
Thanks, I think that will do. I can sign in with one of the Gmail accounts and set the other one in the mail application. Regarding the calendars I just noticed that all my google calendars are only in one of the accounts. So I will sign in on the phone with that one and use the other only in the mail application.

The only problem will be moving all my contacts from one account to the other...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
Just got mine as well,

I noticed that there was considerable amount of lag for the first hour of using it, but now all the lag is gone and its working amazingly well.

HTC have taken a lot of the ideas from this site and implemented it in the sense ui, Customising the phone is fun and really easy, the only thing I'm unhappy with is being unable to get my Hotmail, and I don't really want it forwarded to my gmail.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
Correct me if wrong, but you can always create a new dummy gmail account, forward your mail to that, and set in the gmail website that your 'identity mail address' (from address AND reply-to) is your hotmail address.

that way other people will not notice you use gmail to retrieve it (unless they look in the headers). Thing is you can't manage your hotmail account that way (delete / move / mark as read your mail)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
Funnily I got hotmail working through the standard email app, it doesn't push the email but you can set the frequency at which it syncs, so it's good enough.

Also while using the hero i'v noticed that some times the phone doesn't respond after unlocking and it takes a couple of seconds to respond to your touch.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] liamhere:
got mine this morning

only just got home to play with it.....

must say it really "feels"like a nice phone....time to play now
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stesa:
hi all to the lucky owners :)

reading mobile-review and engadget review they say about slowness and sluggyness and lag and devilsh ****ness :p

is it becouse they have some prototipe sample or do you confirm all this lag and slowness ?

thanks guys
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
yep, the lag is there, Obviously the more widgets you have running the more lag you get, I'm just playing around with it to see how I can make it faster.

Loading pictures is a pain, seems to take for ever to load an album but that's most likely to do with the crappy memory card that comes with it, may need to get a better one.

I wonder if the memory card that came with the Touch HD is any better, might need to try it and see.

I am slightly disappointed though regarding the speed, hopefully someone figures out how to over clock this phone like the G1.

Over clock slightly and get an extended battery, that should improve things.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pda_crazy:
Hi Guys,

Could you please help me with following question. I am planning to buy Orange HTC Hero

1. Does it come with quick office? Can I open/edit word, excel and power point presentations?

2. Is there any navigation software installed.

3. Any email client where i can configure Pop3, Imap or company microsoft exchange server.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
1. Yes, but I think it is view only. Just testing it now, I cannot work out how to edit on it.

2. Google maps (!) So, no, not really, you can buy copilot though for 22.50

3. Yes, embedded in the OS.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] supadupahands:
The only time i seem to have speed /lag problems is when an app has just closed or i've come out of the browser otherwise runs fine I am using tskiller quite regually to clean up after myself but am running mail, calendar, twitter, footprint, weather and datamonitor just fine. I did hear a rumour that some of the original handsets were sent back due to faulty mem card and that caused the original delay... maybe not all units have been fixed...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
I'v taken the transcend micro sd card out and put in a sandisk one in, still having alot lag and freezing when trying to load up pictures using the album, are you have the same issue?

Are you sure taskiller works, I'v added touchflow to the ignore list then use taskiller to kill all running applications, then when you go to home screen and hold the home button, it still shows all the apps running
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pda_crazy:
Thanks for this clarification. Could you please confirm if i can edit excel sheet
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
As stock I do not believe you can edit an xls.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] irispen:
yes you can, you just need to buy one.

http://www.androlib.com/

there is some site that offering it for free.. but it is illegal so i cant provide a link.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] irispen:
try to put a class 6 memory card.. i heard that lower than this will give lag in hero.

i know taskiller works fine, it actually the best for non rooted phone.. but there is a better one for rooted users..

EDIT:

sorry for double post XD
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
I'm running a class 2 Sandisk. No lag at all. Have copied things backwards and forwards and installed some chunky apps (Co pilot), which incidentally was good but seemed unfinished, ie, buggy; causing things like total lock ups on the phone :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] liamhere:
i have gone class 4 8gb

as i have read that class 6 will work on the hero as class 4....but what do i know :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] koffee:
Can anyone compare it to iPhone 3G(s) or some WM device with Touch Flo in case of response and speed? I am considering buying new phone and I don't want to wait for it. I want it to be faster than I am ;)

I really like the HTC Sense, but I am scared of bad reviews due to speed and response because of the HTC Sense UI. On the other hand it makes it really nice and "must have it" effect for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jkr284:
man after all the trouble we have had with the ****ty qualcom 7200 series chipsets people are still supporting htcs decision to go with the same chipset!! I too have been guilty countless times (touch cruise-touch diamond-xperia-touch hd) but **** this the chipset is way too old even if the resolution on the hero is less taxing! im gonna wait until htc moves to another chipset, rant over!!

sense

Can it be used with sense disabled?

If yes.. is it like the magic then?
[Touch Cruise General] isellmidgets:
I know this topic has been covered - but that's the thing...it hasn't, that I can find. I see a dozen searches for this, all with responses saying "Try Vito ButtonMapper!" or "Try AE Button Plus!" Well, I've tried both.

AE Button creates a delay in any key I try to remap, so that the internet key (remapped to the Scroll Right button, since my normal Scroll Right button is ... broken) has a three-second delay after I push it until the button registers being pressed. So, AE Button is a no-go.

VITO is working much better, albeit it is far less functional in terms of those keys that can be remapped. But that's not my concern for my current issue. I'm using it right now, and it's screwing up my softkeys royally (and yes, I do know how to use the program properly, and so it's not just my ignorance to the different configurations).

So, can someone just give me a yes or no, without beating around the bush, on whether there is a direct registry key that can remap one button onto another? And, if there is, would anyone have any idea where I can find a list of keys corresponding to their respective registry values?

Thanksssssssssssssssssssss.

Hi everybody,

sometimes happends me that during call wifi gets automatically power on, then i have to manually shut it off...Where can be the problem?

Next thing is im still searching for solution how to get smaller font in Start Menu, where latest programs, Programs, Settings etc. are...Im not using TF3D, and when it is in landscape mode i cant see all things like Programs, Settings...grrr...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andrew-in-woking:
Push email

Hi vikino

To answer your first question, I think it may be because you are using ActiveSnyc with Push Email enabled. If you go to Comm Manager, is the switch for "Microsoft Direct Push" on? If so, when you are on a GPRS connection and make a call your data connection will drop as only 3G or HSDPA can co-exist with an active call. Like the difference between old dial-up and modern broadband internet on your landline. If you're not using Direct Push I can't think what's causing it, but it maybe the HTC Push Internet. If it's the push email thing, you may want to consider switching off "Microsoft Direct Push" from Comm Manager and then going into ActiveSync and setting the sync schedule to "As Items Arrive" manually.

Can you please clarify your second question. It's not 100% clear what is not being displayed properly.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vikino:
.....you know what? :) You're right, im using Push mail with my own mail server at home...and in the region i live in we dont have 3G :) it runs on Edge... :) Push internet i dont know where to set it up, i found it only in TF3D, but im not using it...If it is working w/o TF3D would be nice to know where to set it up...

The second thing is that on Xperia i had was nice small font in menu so in landscape fits all fields in without scrolling, on TP2 is much more bigger font and i have to scroll down for everything, programs and settings i found in top as icon...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tristyB:
I'm sure this has been asked before but after prolific searching of the forums and our friend Google I turn to you guys for help. As the title says I'm using OS X and I need a solution (that isn't dual booting to use XP) to signing the update.zip so that I can customise aspects of my ROM, I'm very eager to learn how to do this and this so far seems to be quite an annoying problem.

Thanks for your time in advance :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] korndub:
pm me............
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
Hi korndub,

Cannot you post the answer here so everybody that uses OS X can also sign?

I'm also having problems signing full roms (update.zip files) with signapk.jar

Any help is appreciated :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] korndub:
i have a folder on the desktop which contains the signapk.jar and both sets of keys...put the Archive.zip that you have created and want to sign in this folder, then open terminal

in terminal, you type

$cd FOLDER-containing-files

$java -jar signapk.jar testkeys.x509.pem testkey.pk8 Inputfile.zip outputfile.zip

the outputfile.zip is your update which is signed....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
OK, I do all that I think.

Heres my process.

Download ROM

Extract downloaded zip to folder eg update

Make changes to files

Compress folder back to zip eg update1.zip

java -jar signapk.jar testkeys.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update1.zip update_signed.zip

rename and copy the signed file to sd

reboot recovery

wipe and apply update

It doesn't moan about the signing (so I assume its ok) but I get an update script not found error and it doesn't install.

I haven't changed the update scripts, only the boot.img and one or two scripts in system.

Does every file I change have to be resigned as well? I muct be missing something here

on OSX 10.5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ehnvis:
Signing has nothing to do with that error. Make sure that the update-script is in the correct path.

META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
it is, is a normal update.zip (ie cyanogen rom), and the only file I've changed is boot.img and a2sd in system/bin
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tristyB:
Thank you so much, this works for me, I might try and build it into an automator workflow :)

Edit: I spoke too soon, I get the update script error also

Edit Again: my update-script is in the same place as it should be also
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Wonder if this is a specific OSX problem? We do have apples 'interpretation' of java don't we?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tristyB:
haha, yeah that's right, those crazy cats at Apple. but I assume that korndub also has Apples 'interptretation' so something else could be the problem also
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
perhaps the way we zip the archive?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tristyB:
sadly not, I just used a application that zips in a PC format (without mac hidden files) and no joy. Good idea though.

Edit: Just tried archiving the zip but not compressing. Thought I was on to something. I wasn't.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tristyB:
Another update, I have tried the same in Fedora 11 and again, getting the update script error message when I flash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] neuro159:
I signed modified update for 3 different builds on my Mac, everything worked w/o problems every time. I did everything like described in readme and several times here. So, it's not a global OS X problem.

BTW, I used muCommander to directly modify all zips.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tristyB:
When I find the time later on I will give the muCommander a go. Fingers crossed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] korndub:
you dont archive (zip) the folder, this is where you are having the issue... say you extracted the rom to ROMFOLDER, what you need to do is go into that folder, select all, then right click or two finger click and choose Compress - you will end up with an archive that contains all sub folders, if you zip the folder then you have a folder within a folder and that is where all goes south..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tristyB:
Oh my god, you're right. And I think I actually read that somewhere before now you've reminded me. Damn. Thanks though! Thanks a lot! :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] bonesy:
first job is to see what version you have..So.. before turning on press and hold back then press power (red phone) at the top it will give you some info, it will say either 32a or 32b this is the main part you need. Then go to HBOOT to determine your spl..follow instructions there (remembering to download bits for your board 32a or 32b)

After this you need to go HERE

After that is done you need to choose your rom HERE

If you have a 32a you a lucky s o a b and i would recommend a hero rom,32b im actually using nk02's google ion rom as it will still let me get updates and has root

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] volumnus:
Ok. As I stated, I dropped my AT&T Tilt in a pitcher of beer. I dried it out and it went to bootloader mode. I was able to reinstall the stock rom from the HTC website, and all functions worked for two days, then it went back to bootloader mode again. Now I can't get the rom to install. It starts installing but I keep getting connection errors before it completes. I think the USB port may be screwed up.

Anyway, I know there are threads about rescuing your phone from bootloader mode, and I may or may not continue to mess with it. But what I really wanted to ask is which phone you'd buy to replace your Tilt if you had to buy it out of pocket. I'm not due for an upgrade, so I'll have to pay full price. I really liked Windows Mobile and my favorite programs were Garmin and the three S2 programs.
