Erm, actually the iPhone (1st Gen) worked quite well out of the box...

The Sense UI is an overlay on top of Android, IMHO I think the device needs a better processor or maybe it could get away with more memory. I used Advanced Task Killer and that done some very weird things, as I mentioned the media is not very good, I had stuttering MP3 playback, it can't play AVI, you have to get a AVI player for that. One thing that REALLY impressed me though was Market Place - Best of the lot I would say. I also liked the fact the screen cleans very easy...

The customizable UI is good, but for me at times the phone would grind to a halt, I even had to do a battery pull (Ah Win Mob Days) to get the thing to work again. :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] liamhere:
had mine from day one

and i have had no speed problems at all....more than happy with it

good luck with what ever you try next.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] StellaDel:
I'll just stick with the Blackberry Bold for now, I have my old faithful (Samsung i780) in reserve. I thought about the Touch Pro 2, but I think my missus would shoot me if I turn up with another phone :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pagn22:
Had mine for 3 weeks now, and there has been no freezing and very very little lag, I am more than happy with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
I came from a Touch Pro 2 to the Hero, more than happy with the change.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] StellaDel:
Having had the iPhone and now the Hero I don't think I am a big fan of touch screen keyboards. Don't get me wrong, both of those phones the keyboards are okay - just me wanting something more tactile probably.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iammorris:
For those of you who think the lag is enough to make you want to sell the phone, you may want to hold off just a little while.

I have a very reliable source who has confirmed that HTC will be releasing a very, very speedy ROM soon. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwitha:
I'm more than happy with the phone, wouldnt trade it for anything else at the moment!! Can't say Ive had much lag at all... although im quite excited by the idea of a new ROM! Any ideas when this would be?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] badgaz:
I hope you're not lying because you made me feel a little excited.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] suisen:
what's soon? :D

anyway, i've had a stutter here or there, but nothing big, also mostly when i force it, unlock the device and before the clock went through it's animation go swiping to other pages, such

tried TasKiller and Advanced Task Manager, then read that Android isn't WM and i don't have to kill processes, it will do it when it needs memory, so i uninstalled both and am running it clean now, seems to be working just fine without messing with tasks :/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
I hope your source is right, and I hope soon means next week :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] StellaDel:
For those you you with the Hero I hope the "rumor" is right. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ritdaw:
My fingers are crossed, but how soon is soon? Not that I would get rid of this phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fozzieb:
i almost put mine on ebay today to go back to my iphone, but every time i ditch something a patch comes out the next day, so i'm keeping it.

the lag is not that bad, but the iphone had no lag at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
Oh... only 28 posts and no source... well... I really don't want to say that I don't believe you... but untill you or somebody else can show some proof I am gonna think you're full of it....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] arahmank:
I got my htc hero today, and to be honest, I'm impressed. I was reluctant to get it due to the different comments on the lag and the sense UI being slow but I'm not getting that. I'm not sure if people are experience serious lag issues or it's just like, the twitter widget takes 5 seconds to refresh, or switching between screens has a 2 second lag. If it's the latter then you should learn to be patient. Yes it would be amazing to have it work flawlessly but this kind of lag is insignificant, I've experienced serious lag issues with my blackberry bold when I'm viewing websites and switching between applications. This however, isn't something I'd call lag.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
The iPhone has not lag as it also doesn't keep apps open, it has had numerous (years worth) of updates to get it right.

Bare in mind that this is the first release of a new front screen and there are going to be issues, but as HTC are putting 50% more resource into Android from WM, there are going to be a lot of updates quicker.

Plus I haven't noticed many differences, on my iPhone if I open certain apps/do certain things it grinds to a hault too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
It's a matter of perspective. I came from Dream, went to Magic and then on to Hero (2 of them), and having just switched back to the Magic last night to do some testing, I did notice a significant different in performance, with the Hero definitely behaving more sluggishly.

I am wondering if this has to do with Facebook/Twitter updating in the background, or the Sense UI alone (which doesn't make sense - no pun intended - since I get the same lag in apps like the Dialer).

I'm also hoping that HTC pushes out that update soon, though I wonder how they will push this out, considering that the Hero has cropped up in grey markets all over the world
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
I get lag on my iPhone as well, depending on what apps I had opened recently, and the recent OS3.0 has brought my iPhone to its knees, i.e. slower than Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ce:
I had a HTC touch pro 2. The device has some issues. A few days ago HTC announced a Rom upgrade for this device and guess what, one of the two fixes is........

....The Financial Providers Icon.... wasn't displaying correctly :(

(the other has to do with displaying the correct amount of available memory)

What i want to say is...yes HTC does release ROM upgrades but don't hold your breathe when it comes to ironing out real software problems. HTC could easily release a Hero 2 (faster processor and more RAM\ROM) instead of solving this lag problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] StellaDel:
I will admit not being a big fan of the company HTC (their phones are okay) but having had a Vario / Kaiser which was plauged with the video driver issues and HTC's response which was basically - Go do one...

What happened mext the brought out the Diamond and the Diamond Pro and those stuck on contracts where stuck. I hope there is a new ROM for the Hero but I wouldn't hold your breath. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iammorris:
You say that like someone's post-count is related to their reliability. So I've been here for over 2 years, but because I'm not a spammer I'm unreliable? Great logic there.

In any case, I'm not really fussed if you or anyone else doesn't believe what I've said. I've got no reason to make anything up, and I was only mentioning the information I have because I don't want people to become annoyed when they sell their Hero and then shortly after there is a ROM which fixes the lag issues.

Go ahead though, sell your Hero if you must.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ruffnexx_uk:
i actually find it faster than my iphone 3g and xperia....lovin this phone!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stingerpl:
Almost every Hero review out there complains about the speed. I think they need to fix it and have it reviewed to sell the phone better and they know that.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TGAQ600:
I've only noticed lag in the Home replacement, the contacts app and the calendar app. I don't run any widgets though, so that might make a difference. On the other hand, there's no such thing as too fast, and it could definately stand to be a little speedier. I hope iammorris's source is correct - it might just be the boost we need to top the iPhone.... ;)
[Palm Treo Pro] darkfoot:
help me guys, i bought treo pro palm (sprint) n using it with indonesian carrier (smart telecom)...its just fine

the problem is I can not erase or edit the connection profile from sprint (power vision), i can only go online with my data plan (smart) with tap and hold the connection profile n push connect, whenever i click url or i go with my opera it always connect power vision as my default connection

please help.. how can i remove the connection profile from sprint (i tried it but it showed again)

:confused:
[Palm Treo Pro] dozel:
hi, you can do that, you need to go to explore files in windows folder, in startup folder, erase htc guardian and the other .exe, softreset, go to power vision delete and ready!!!
[Palm Treo Pro] darkfoot:
i tried as u suggested but still "power vision" profile came up again ??

[Palm Treo Pro] to0:
Use a task manager to kill HTC_CM_GUARDIAN.exe and then delete \Windows\Startup\HTC_CM_GUARDIAN.lnk and \Windows\HTC_CM_GUARDIAN.exe

thanx problem solved

[Shift General] mdkia:
sorry for the (maybe) stupid question, but if when putting it back in its bag i accidentally switch it on, would it get damaged for the overheating (as it would not "breath") or ...?

thanks
[Shift General] thaihugo:
Yes, CPU will stop when reaching overheating, and the whole shift will goes off. But I don't think it's good on the long run, so you better check your power switch before putting it in the bag. Watch for the lock position. In this mode, the shift will not power back on on the first press.

Hi all

I have a problem about volume in my viva, volume is very low

even in maximum. when i restart the device there is no problem but

after 10 or 15 mins volume goes down, every sound play is low,

ringtones, music, movies ...

hard reset doesn't solve problem, even i install eset anti virus cus

i think that might be a virus problem but problem still exist.

what is the problem? please help

thanks in advance
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Diagrax:
Have you tried a HArd Reset?

thanks Diagrax for your response

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] MusikMonk:
Might be a problem in the ROM.

What ROM are you using?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] xhtc:
when i reset my viva hard or soft everything is just ok but after 10 or 15 mins

sometimes an hour the sounds played are not as loud as it should be

even when volume is at max

at this time when i play a movie the sound and movie play faster than normal!!!

strange problem ha?

and i'm using 1.26.488.2 WWE ROM version
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Diagrax:
if im not mistaken theres a newer official rom
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] MusikMonk:
You can try flashing another ROM, it might work.

I'm using this one. You can also try a WM6.5 ROM but, personally, I think that they still have a few bugs that needs ironing out.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] TheRem:
same problem with my Viva....

i emailed HTC's tech support and they said that maybe some 3rd party software might be causing it.

what i did was: i removed all the unneccessary Notification queues (scripts) using SKTools... these notification queues are either made by 3rd party alarm clock apps or by script makers like Mortscript, which i also uninstalled... in my case, it was pTravel alarm that's causing it... i also tried Mortplayer and it was also causing it because of mortplayer's alarm function. (don't try Mortplayer, i had to do a hard reset just to remove it)

best thing to do is: uninstall all 3rd party alarm clock software, check the notification queues for unneccessary ones and restart your phone.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] xhtc:
I'm not sure that was a third party problem cus i hard reset

my viva many times and hard reset remove any third party

softs but that not resolve the problem.

and i have good news , after doing many tests finaly i decide

to remove my SD card and then hard reset the device.

and yes , that worked for me but when i insert SD card again

the problem appears , what does that mean? is that mean that

i never can use a SD card ?

Thanks all for help
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Diagrax:
Your SD could have a currupted file or your whole SD is....and is causing something wrong when your device reads it, and causes your present problems. fixing this problem is easy yet hard :mad:

i had htc s 710 befor and i had this problem with it and now i have viva and i have this problem again my sd card is the same that i used in my s710
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] TheRem:
yes it's not a 3rd party software problem... because my viva's problem came back!

i already did a hard reset with NO other apps installed then after one hour, the volume softens (you can't barely hear the ringtones and mp3s) and the sound speeds up.

but when there's no microsd inserted, the volume is loud and the music speed is normal even after so many hours.

i tried both 8gb (Ridata) and 4gb (Kingston) microsd... after an hour... boom! same problem. :(

is this a microsd "brand" problem?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] PJ@y-Z:
I've no SD card !!!
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Diagrax:
It could either be you have currupted files in your sd or it's a sound driver gone wrong but the "currupted files on an SD is closer to the logic"
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] TheRem:
even WITHOUT the microsd card, the problem happens.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] pejman6767:
i think no one can fix this broblem

my phone works ok now however it had broblem 4 days ago

i moved any folders that was in my storage card in to my document and now its ok but i am not sure that this is the problem i realy dont know what to do
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] TheRem:
i found out that instead of soft resetting the Viva, you can just call your own number and enable the speaker... then the sound will be back to the normal volume and speed. ;)

check it out if it'll work on your Viva... but of course you'll hear a busy line when you dial your own number. :D
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] xhtc:
Not a thirdparty problem

My SD card is Corsair 1GB, as all you know Corsair is a good and trusted brand in memory technology, so it shouldn't be SD problem and also its not a third party problem:confused:

when i first remove my Sd and hard reset viva it was ok for nearly a month,

but the problem come back today again, but now its ok after a soft reset:mad:

it seems that its a BIG viva problem maybe just for some versions and not for all vivas:(

Related with Edge

Hi

I have been experiencing this problem too.

Over the time I have experienced that whenever this problem occurs my edge icon on the taskbar changes from "E" to the icon with bidirectional arrows and a small cross under it.

So this might be related to this stuff.

Any ideas?

[General Questions and Answers] apkapkapk:
I'm new to Windows Mobile and having installed quite a few applications, I would like to know where the programs are installed to. Is it installed into the phone's internal memory or on the memory card? It's not like installing a program on the desktop where you can select which location to install to. Please enlighten me on this.

[General Questions and Answers] tempest2112:
Whenever I install a programme I always get the choice of location , "device" or "storage card", always assumed this was a standard process:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
it is depending on which phone you have. A diamond doesnt have sd card slot so will automatically be installed on internal memory. If you dont have an sd card installed in your device at the time of installation, you wont get a choice:)

Also some apps can only be installed to device memory and you wont be given a choice then.
[Networking] baam2k:
i bought a wrt320n gigabit router from linksys.

i have an htc touch (elf) with wm6.1

now i tried to connect my device to the router wireless .

now the only thing my htc says is connecting but it never connects .

when i connect to another access point it asks for a password like it should .

but when connecting to my linksys router it just keeps connecting without making a connected status and askin me for the security key.

my router give me the exact info on how to config my phone but it just wont connect .

how can i make my phone connect ??
[Networking] duckyman:
Some routers allow new connections only after registration of the device (e.g. phone) on the router itself. This registration acts as an extra security measure besides the key. Only registered devices may connect. You could check your router documentation to see if this applies to your situation.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] maxcherry:
Hi,

I've recently flashed from the Compact V rom to the latest stock rom.

I've managed to re set up the data connection and am able to connect to the internet through T-Mobile, however, I cannot connect to my yahoo account any more. I just get a message "Error Synchronizing".

I've tried resetting the settings and recreating the account to no avail.

You can send the settings to your phone on the T-Mobile site via SMS, however, the messages are not being received to my phone, the first one comes through saying "You will receive another message shortly, enter 1234 as the PIN" but the 2nd message never comes through.

Has anyone else has the same issue?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] agent.m:
i had or have the same problem. you need a .cab called tmobileukfixed or t-mobileuk it sends you the t-mobile settings so u can use the mms as well. ps if you getting low signal ie gprs then that has been my problem before and i think it rom specific although im not an expert.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] maxcherry:

Thanks for the file!! Did this solve the problem with some text messages not being sent aswell? I seem to be OK to send to some numbers, but not others.

Dont know if its network related or not.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] anarchyuk:
The 2 issues with sending messages and error sync are not related, the error sync is caused by the proxy settings box becoming ticked and the 149.xx.xx.xx ip becoming active this is tmobile public address transaltion server, just un check the proxy box in settings if the problem occurs!!
