Guys,

I put the TP2 on for charging the whole night (about 9 hours). In the morning the LED was green and the battery meter said 100%. I took the charger off from the handset and re-inserted the tip in. Guess what? 95%.

AM not sure if it is a battery problem or handset problem?

Its come down to 73% with just one phone call of 5 mins. Mail is on, but its on manual and havent pulled anything since morning.

Any idea?

What cases are you chaps investing in to protect your Heros?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] R3PUBL1K:
Have not seen any yet. Not sure if I should get one or not I did not get one for the Diamond and that is in great nick :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cbailey:
New mobiles make me nervous...........:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] brummiesteven:
If you have the white... with Teflon coating and a good screen protector I would imagine that a case isn't necessary.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] cbailey:
You haven't witnessed my ability to juggle mobiles and drop things out of pockets onto concrete :p

Also, when locking onto GPS signals, putting phones on window ledges and watching in horror as they drop 30 foot to paving slabs.....oh yes.....:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] liamhere:
Been there....done that!

i will be keeping a firm grip on my hero....

my old diamond was always trying to jump out of my hand :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Irregular Programming:
Mine will reside in my pocket, next to my homekeys, some coins and lint.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] robboy:
I like to put mine in a belt case while at work as I'm always running about. Apart from that a good screen protector normally does the trick
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Dancorp:
Soon available at www.noreve.com (high quality cases)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] xdaman85:
I'v tried all the high street stores, and nothing, 99% of mobile shops don't even know what the HTC hero is :confused: and 95% of them only sell iPhone crap and nothing else, the worlds getting taken over by sheeps with iPhones :mad:

Original HTC Pouch

I bought this:

https://www.expansys.at/d.aspx?i=184424

...and unfortunately, it's crap. My white Hero has now some black parts and looks already old. :mad:

So, don't buy this if you have a white Hero. No problem whit a black one, I guess :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Volker1:
I got this for free (http://www.handtec.co.uk) and so far no smudges. I tried rubbing some white plastic (NOT my Hero) on the inner leather lining, and with considerable effort I can rub off some black colour. After cleaning the white plastic piece it was bright white again, maybe you want to give it a try.

The case is a bit tight, though. On the other side, the phone can't fall out even if the magnetic latch opens accidentally ;-)

Overall, I'd give it 7/10 (good but not great).
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] tallen3:
Foof case for my Hero

At the moment I'm using a Foof case with a sherpa fleece inner. Its surprisingly protective and fits perfectly. Snug enough not to slip out but easy to remove. Got the ipod touch size from http://foofshop.com/ and they have great choices for different colours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] stilghar:
I've got this pouch:

http://www.krusellcases.com/uk/p_krusell_product.aspx?i=179446

Just what I wanted so far, it protects the phone and is rather slim. I didn't want more bulk in my pants pocket. The Hero fits quite ok, maybe it's a wee bit too wide, but not much.

Edit:

I'm gonna return the Pouch to the shop. The inner part (as well as the exterior) is made of a leather-like matherial in black color. The first days it was ok, but it has started to leave black stains on my white Hero. I was able to remove them really easily but I'm not happy anymore. I'll go check if its a defect in my pouch or all these models leave stains. I don't recommend it anymore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] sdc77:

batteries?

anyone find any good deals on replacement batteries that hold more power?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] AndyCr15:
Why would you post this here, rather than the thread about batteries?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] soulonfirexx:
I do not have a Hero yet, but I do plan on getting on when it is released in the US. Anyway...

Have you guys ever heard of SwitchEasy? They make cases for the iPhone and they are my favorite case maker, and I was planning to get a case from them as I was originally planning to buy an iPhone about a year ago. However, I did buy one for my girlfriend about a week ago and she LOVES it. I waited on buying that iPhone and out came the Hero.

I recently sent them an email to see if they would ever consider ever making a phone case for the Hero. Unfortunately, that was about 2 days ago and have not had a reply...

Perhaps if we can get enough people to send them emails so that they can realize how many people have Heros (and provided you like their cases :p) we can get them to manufacture some cases and add a bit more selection to the slim pickings so far.

I am not trying to promote their products or site in any way, but if you like the style of their cases like I do, I would definitely like to see a case from them for the Hero. Was just wondering if we can do a group effort here.

If this post violates any rules that this forum has, please delete or mod it. Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] TheBrit:
I'm using the HTC belt holster that I got for my Diamond. It's a nice tight secure fit. The Diamond used to wobble around in it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Dokie:
I bought this recently:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370243150192&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I have the same kind of case for my blackberry, havent had a scratch yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] :
I got this one from Mobilefun.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexishield-skin-for-the-htc-hero-clear-p21210.htm

Has the same kind of protection as the silicon cases, but does not look anywhere near as horrific, and doesn;t cover all the buttons, which i absolutely hate.

Pair that with either a screen protector or a microfibre cloth and it works perfectly for me. YMMV of course, as cases are a personal preference....
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] stickyasglue:
i just got a decent silicon case of ebay
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] phrozen_lad:
i been seaching for a case since i got the hero and nothing ticks all the boxes :(

Really dont like the silicone type cases as i think they make the phone look cheap and bulky, really wanted a pouch style case (like the diamond) but the chin means it doesnt fit snuggly in most cases :confused:

eventually bought a pouch and to my horror it left black marks all over the phone :mad:

there must be a nice hero specific pouch out there??
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
Just ordered one of those exact cases from eBay for $12AUD inclusive of postage. I'm hoping better cases are released soon. I would really like something similar to my incase slider case I had on my iPhone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] sphinxy:
Which buyer? Thats pretty cheap - ive been looking at that case and wanting to try it out.

Can you please put a little review on what you think of it when you get it? If its worth while then i'll go ahead and order one myself -> if you direct me to the one you're buying it from!

Im from Australia too, so $12 seems quite good!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
Here you go buddy:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390080658266

Yeah it was cheaper than mobilefun.co.uk but I guess a longer wait for delivery but I'm not too fussed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] tomehb:
Well, just for a little input.. I got mine from Mobile-Fun, as I did'nt want to wait around for it. Happy with it, shame I bodged my first screen protector, so on the second already!

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
Ahhh nice. I don't mind waiting around 'cos I know that the Hero won't be dropping out of my hands any time soon with that nice teflon coating, and in saying so the coating will be able to withstand scuffs from every day use - unlike my iPhone 3G which started scuffing soon as I took it out of the box!

The screen protectors aren't very good IMO but I guess they'll do for a temporary solution. Luckily for me I got mine down in one go and it would have been a perfect application if it weren't for the crappiness of the corners of the screen protectors not being curved.

Photos of Flexi Shield Case

Well, I had already dropped it once :(

Some photos of the case for anyone that is interested..

http://tomehb.www.idnet.com/images/HTCHeroFlexiShieldSkinCase/
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
Damnnnn... bad luck mate.

The case looks reaaaallllyyyyy not-too-bad (couldn't say "nice" 'cos it kind of reminds me of any other silicone case - even though it's not technically silicone). Oh and on a side-note: that's a hot Alienware laptop you got there ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] sphinxy:
I cant seem to find the clear one on ebay...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nicelad_uk:
I don't think its clear, its white. I'm looking for a black one
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] msoek:
maybe this is what you want......

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
There are clear ones -

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/WHITE-Gel-Ru...Q5fMobilePhonesCasesPouchesQQsalenotsupported

The title says "WHITE" but it's more of a transparent white if you look at the photos.. so I consider it as more close to being clear than white (opaque).

Protective cases

Hey guys,

I'm waiting for my Hero (in a couple of days) but i've already found the protective case for my special new phone.

Here :http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000627

you have a lot of choice and good prices.

Bye
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
I just received my clear FlexiShield case and I gotta say for 2.95 pounds + 2.95 pounds postage I'm quite impressed. This will be a great temporary and throw-away case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] sphinxy:
Great! I might actually have to get one then...need it for when i need to put the Hero in my bag when im playing sport or the like.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] keyra74:
great ! ordered a silicon one days ago but wasn't really into it

bought this one right away : http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000627&products_id=16495

HTC Hero Plastic Case Help...

Does anyone know where I can find this protective case for the Hero? Any help, would be much appreciated.

Thanks..

Marc
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] soulonfirexx:
Those are not cases, they're different colors that the Hero comes in that HTC hasn't produced yet, minus the White, Black and Pink ones and the special Graphite one for a European carrier that I forget.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
Graphite is on Orange, IIRC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] gavinfabl:
I have a white hero but got the black case

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160355523071&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Makes the device very cool with the contrasting case. Kind of a see through black/grey.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] odajay:
Is this one exactly the same as the FlexiShield one ?

Or just a random case ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] gavinfabl:
It looked the same to me hence why I bought it. And in real life it looks the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
It's exactly the same i.e. FlexiShield
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] odajay:
Thanks for the quick feedback <o)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Vormulac:
Why do they all use magnetic clasps instead of velcro these days? Putting magnets next to your mobile phone is not especially smart, I've had it screw up my phone in the past and know other people who have had the same thing. :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Huey85:
just browsed around eBay and found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2-x-Momax-Cr...ries?hash=item3ef7f0ebc2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Looks quite nice - similar to that FlexiShield but the cutouts look a bit cleaner and I like the smokey grey one. Might hit one up. Anyone had any experience with Momax accessories?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] hcf:
I have found a lot of choices of protective case for HERO

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] stripey_tiger:
I have bought the cheaper ebay version of the flexishield. Was hesitant about buying it as thought wouldnt be very good quality. But am very impressed and cant see the £12 equivalent being any better quality. I put forward an offer of £2.50 and it was accepted.

Can you link to the seller please mate?

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] robw1978:
Cheap gel cover as well

I also got one of the cheaper Gel covers, but in black.

It is extremely good quality and is 10 times better than the silicon cover I also bought.

It does add a bit more weight and size to the phone, but definitely stands up against any iphone covers I have seen in terms of quality.

Cheers! :) .
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] stripey_tiger:
yep thats the one :)

Another shop

Do you know netimes.com?

I bought cases in that shop (not for the Hero, for an HTC HD) and they have very good prices...

http://www.netimes.com/shop/htc-dopod-htc-hero-c-80_680.html
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] philfred:
sorry saw the answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] kadison:
I can certainly vouch for the clear flexsheld case. Got mine on ebay for a few quid. I hoped it was going to be a tad thinner as it makes the phone feel a little bulky initially. A couple of days after fitting it, I fumbled and dropped it face down on concrete. It made me feel sick watching it tumble towards the floor!! :eek:

Thankfully the case saved it and it is totally unmarked, so the extra bulkiness really doesn't bother me now! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] nokmond:
Has anyone used a gel case alongside a screen protector? I did but the gel case was lifting the edges of the protector so I've gone back to screen protector/sock!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] soulonfirexx:
Bought a new Hero on eBay and I can't wait (seller hasn't shipped yet, bought it last night =()! I bought a case from netimes.com and also got the Flexishield on eBay as well. I will review the silicon case I got from netimes.

Link to case: here
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] JBNAquatics:
I bought from a seller on ebay named "slkcellular" and his is the same as the Flexishield made of gel and not silicone. It was $7.99 shipped, fast shipping, awesome product.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] ZenorGR:
I also bought one but I wouldn't recommend it since after two days of usage my white Hero now has some white spots on the back..

You get what you pay for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] gavinfabl:
Odd that as I don't have any black marks at all. Will keep an eye out though just in case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] crypt0night:
Now i have this on my htc hero:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Black-Silicon...?hash=item4ceadfdda5&_trksid=p4634.m351.l1262

Its fits well and screenprotector is not noticeable:O
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] ZenorGR:
Mine are white spots, not black. It's like the case design was left on the back of the hero. It's not that bad but I am not sure if I will keep using the case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] tkm89:
Has anyone tried this from the official HTC Accessory store? Any good?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Volker1:
Did you notice the "Availability: Due Friday 23rd October" that is printed in big, friendly letters below the price? :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Centaur291173:
I have had one of these cases now for the last month or so and works like a charm, plus the quality of the leather, stitching and fit of the phone is outstanding.

I would reccommend this highly as it also protects the phone and screen really well.

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000759&products_id=23243

Also one little tip: go to the Pound Shop and get a chamois leather cloth (or chammy leather as some might know it! :p

I use this to give the Hero screen a quick wipe when it gets too mucky - the chamois is great at cleaning the skin oils from your fingers that leave the smudge marks on the screen. And it si so soft it doesn't scratch it!

DON'T EVER WASH THE CHAMOIS! Just buy a big-ish piece and cut little sections to use as a wipe, and throw it away once it gets too manky / dirty. I am still on my first piece after nearly two months.

Good luck!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] tkm89:
Hmmm, haha, my bad!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] vik_x:
I'm just about to buy this one:

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=187180

But found it cheaper on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380160414973

I will post back once I receive it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] soulonfirexx:
The silicone case from netimes is super soft and it's hard to slip into a pocket. I don't really like the build quality on it, it seems very cheap. Well, it was really cheap, $3 dollars. Oh well.

Still waiting on my Flexishield and the pouch I got from Foofshop. I'm probably going to go with one of those.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] surfer69:
I use the leather belt clip case from my old Hermes, it's a bit big for the Hero, but the clip is brilliant!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] salmanbodla:
Hi, please tell me the colour of your Hero and that of the case? Do you have a white Hero? Did you ever experience the issue with these leather cases i.e. leaving marks on the white teflon?? Does the case have a magnetic clasp? If yes, is it safe to use it in the vicinity of a mobile device?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] JJHamster:
Poor corner protection

Just dropped my Hero in one of these from a small height - it offered no protection to the corner of the phones "chin" where it landed, so now it is chipped. The phone can move around slightly in the case so that the corners protrude (look at the corner gaps in the picture) - if you are unlucky these take the impact. Very disappointed in the design from such an expensive case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] vik_x:
I recieved this case and it fits the Hero perfectly. It uses velcro to keep the lid closed.

Only thing is, it only has a belt clip, but this is still very solid on the belt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Samek:
Does anyone have http://www.expansys.si/d.aspx?i=187366 in combination with Hero white? Is it any good?
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] RufusA:
+1 I use mine too. Well actually that's a lie, I use the one from my Kaiser!

The Hermes one with the magnetic closure was a better case, but sadly I lost the case and phone somewhere on Waterloo bridge (London) when sprinting for the train!

I have now modified my Kaiser case with a small tether and carabiner so that if the clip ever bounces off (or someone light fingered takes a liking to it), the case will dangle securely from a belt loop!

To date the modification has saved my phone a few times!

HTH - Rufus.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] choccy31:
I got one of Amazon, it's a silicon one was about £6 it's ok, but dirt seems to stick to the case.

But it is fine.

Think the T-Mobile G2 Already has a screen protector on it already.
[G1 Android Development] fabrantes:
Hi everyone!!

RockOn is a music player for Android and its main goal is to innovate on the UI side. To those of you who don't know it you can check it at http://abrantix.org/rockon.php.

Now comes the time where I'd like to expand the dev team, as I cannot do it all by myself :P. There's a lot of things to improve or fix and to make RockOn the best player I need help. In a first phase im planning to open the code to a small number of devs that will help me clean up the code and fix some of the most important bugs (right now the code is pretty ugly in some parts, and there are all sorts of architectural problems in the app structure). In a second phase RockOn would be completely open sourced to the whole community.

Also, RockOn currently has a 'donate' version, which I will make free as soon as this kicks-off. This will be a community project on the long run, thus not-for-profit.

So, if there are devs around interested in contributing please drop me an email (filipe.abrantes _at; gmail.com).

twitter for updates:

http://twitter.com/fabrantes

Cheers,

Filipe
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
Nice apps, really like the design and the album art, hope somebody will be interest to be part of this dev.
[G1 Android Development] overpower:
Wow I really do like the interface. I would be willing to help out, but it looks like you want really active developers for the first phase and I don't think I can commit for that. But of course if you don't mind having people making small fixes and passing them in sporadically I can help there.

I did notice a bug while searching for mp3s using non-ascii characters (specifically Chinese). I'm wondering if the like search in the sql database is even unicode aware.

07-23 04:36:44.897: INFO/SEARCH(2319): title LIKE '%æˆ‘ %' OR artist LIKE '%æˆ‘ %'

Regardless, hopefully you find some people who can push your app along quickly!
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
love your app, can only get better...

... and xda is the place to find developers who will make it happen. RockOn! is my default fall back app when HTCMusic doesn't work. I've had some issues with lag and FCs occasionally but I must admit, running RockOn on cyanogen's experimental build 3.9 with compcache and a backing_swap partition seems rock-solid. I used it all night and it was really smooth, only one hiccup and it passed NP. So great work fabrantes, I look forward to seeing what this community can do to make your app even better.
[G1 Android Development] wayne07:
i was thinking it was weird that there is a lack of development of open source apps... especially essential stuffs like music and video players..... group development etc.... instead of relying on htc apps (closed sourced).

Unless i am not aware of such stuff :-)
[G1 Android Development] fabrantes:
hi overpower, yes for this first phase I'd prefer to get a smaller group of people that are willing to commit to the project, deadlines and such. But we'll see how this evolves. I did not state this before, but this call also applies to designers.
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
i would be willing to help with design work, especially if you plan on adding widgets.
[G1 Android Development] fabrantes:
Yep, right now it has one widget but it is really a knock-off of the standard player's widget. Would be very nice to have a more advanced one. Drop me an email.
