how do you get the hero to run flash videos is browser.....cant seem to get mine to work....any ideas. thanks MInes on orange if that helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewans:
It doesn't work with a lot of sites, it will probably stay this way until flash 10 for mobile devices comes out later in the year.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
thanks for the reply ewans ....cleared that up ....thought it would just work with all sites....naive!

I am currently holding to a G1 and i tried drizzy's Hero rom..

well if you compare to cyan's 3.9.2, i would say its unusable.

I am thinking of upgrading to a Hero.. but i am worried that it would be as sluggish a G1 with ported hero rom. Does the (288mb-192) 96mb ram difference makes it smoother?

Can someone with a G1 and actual hero enlighten me please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
big time improvement....had the same problem as you...i didndt think it was quick enough to be useable on g1 so got my hero through this week....amazing to say the least ...no lag what soever. awesome kit with multiple keyboards...including my fav one which is phone keypad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgear356:
really relieve to hear that..

not even choking on any part? Is it as good as a g1 with cyna's rom?

my next question is how about a magic+ported hero rom?

since their hardware is pretty much the same. (32A boards)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAO1908:
Much more faster, not as a g1 with f.e. JF mod, but you can really use it, no forcecloses and other things like that.... I love it (have the G1 and the hero since today)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
i mean sometimes there maybe a hint of lag but thats only if im surfing the web and playing music and flipping rosie faster than a pancake , but mostly all motion is very smooth and as mentioned no force closes whatsoever
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
to be honest i think (dont know) that hero is a very ram demanding UI and i dnt think you will get as smoother use with a magic ...thats just my opinion. i mean the widgets on hero do use a lot.....id say its worth getting hero if ya can rather than porting it ......but if you dnt wanna fork out (understandable) than maybe magic can offer you a close resolution! let me know how you get on .
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x9f:
yes it lags but not as much as the g1. It all depends on what and how many widgets your running on your homescreen.

i read on facebook someone with 8gb class 6 card with hero and its speed was greatly improved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonWesthead:
No lags at all on a T-Mobile UK Hero. It runs far smoother than any G1 port. And I tried them all thanks to the amazing work the guys do here.

The only negative thing you can say about the phone is the position of the back button. which is difficult to press if you are right handed..but perfect if you are left handed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] menov321:
starting to lag a bit on conatcs screen and messages a bit but still nothing that really makes it unenjoyable ...so to speak....i mean i still prefer this over g1 feels much more expensive better build...though have to say g1 was very quick with tasks....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stats101:
Anyone know what this does? and how it supplements the normal "Rom upgrade mode"?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer8nl:
It will be unabled automaticly when needed. I mean when another rom then the rom where the backup was made from is detected. I tried it once but it totally messed up my phone. So better just reinstall everything after a rom flash. The force rom upgrade mode sucks.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10123:
Im really considering purchasing a X1 but what is stopping me is the lackluster text message interface, are there any apps for text messages which shows sent items etc that have a nice touch interface that looks good too?? thanks
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
The built-in text message app has Sent items, flick scrolling and is relatively finger-friendly. It may not be that pretty looking though. Search Handango or one of the many free software sites for Windows Mobile software.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anheuer:
Some time ago i read in the news that in the uk there was someone who had gone out of the country and when he/she came back there was a huge bill waiting for her for the data connection the used during his/her trip.

T mobile then made public that there was no way to completely disable the data connection.

So no mater what you do, you will get a nice bill if you take your phone on a trip.

I was wondering if this has been resolved by now.

Its been a while and there are some apps that you can use for wifi, gps, ring, data connection ect.

Is this enough to disable all data flow without having to fear a huge bill?

[XPERIA X1 General] Orka82:
I'm looking for the same thing.

Need to touch two times to get the phone to react if the screen has faded...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] kingtendo:
Folks.. Not sure if I made a mistake here.. I whinged to T-mobile about how my Vario IV's lack of reception was driving me over the edge and somehow convinced them (mid-contract) that I just HAD to have a G2 or i'd die!! Well not quite but anyway they felt sorry for me and as of yesterday I am in possession of my first android phone.

1) Looks and feels great. matt/rubberized casing a joy to hold and the Bruse Forsyth chin seems to make sense somehow.

2) Display is crisp and clear and touch screen is very responsive although the idea that I can't use a stylus effectively bugs me a little especially when yr fat thumb can't quite place that pin acurately on google maps!! :)

3) When you get reception and make a call it is pretty clear and loud enough

4) Music playback.. Plays well. Again fairly clear and loud enough to drown out even the loudest tube journey effectively.

5a) Camera stills. Not alot of love here.. Don't get me wrong the pictures look ok but not a vast improvement over the g1 3.2 or any pther mobile phone 3.2 cam. To be honest, being able to take shots exclusively by pressing the thumb wheel was a mistake.. I found myself zooming in or out alot just as I was about to take an exposure.. Frustrating!

5b) Camera/video capture. CRAP!!!! seriously HTC why are we still toying with 352 x 288?? Can someone please tell me??? :(

6) Keyboard.. One of the better touchscreen keyboards out there and with feedback is always a plus, problem is I am a dedicated/Qwerty/ h/w keyboard fan and this just is not doing it for me at all.. The keys though responsive are not accurate at all and you will find a whole bunch of errors when you look back at your text even after the intuitive suggestive text has it's way. the other thing I found was that I started experiencing cramp in my thumbs even after a very short period of typing on this thing due to the awkward position I had to place my thumb in to effectively hit the "backspace key".

7) Lag..It's there folks and it's real!! It doesn't seem to take much to get it going too.. I only had a google maps sess and the cam running in the background.. Hopefully HTC can sort this in some form of a s/w update..

by the way I can't seem to dial 150 to get to t-mobile services.. just says the number isn't valid.. Anyone else having this prob??

There is more and i'll hit you with it when I remember but that's it for my T-mobile specific rants on the G2.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Just got the Hero today. I noticed there is a slight gap where the screen meets the casing.It just about doesn't meet the top, infact I can just about see a component through it. Is yours like that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kingtendo:
Same here.. I can see a bronze looking component to the right of the speaker vent
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
thats it! Maybe there are all like that. Bit worried its going to be a problem with dust in the screen. Bit naff for a 400 quid phone. Great otherwise. Worth sending back for a replacement? what do you think?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
The one I had seemed to have a 'dimple' by the power symbol. As if dust had got under the final finish, another iffy build issue methinks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Are all yours Orange network branded ones? I've got the white unlocked one and its absolutly fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thedumbkid:
Could somebody post some pictures of these gaps? That's very concerning :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Acelister:
A portion of the Hero's on Orange do have that gap, I've noticed. Thanks for making this topic, it will help if it happens again. As it's a customer affecting issue which will cause returns.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
Thanks Acelister,

Not seen a post of yours since the Touch HD release :o

Mine has that gap at the top where the screen meets the casing - its not bothered me until now and the pocket dust is building up. I'll check the white hero tomorrow and see the difference, if so different I will return the device as I am still within the 7 days as I received my device last wednesday.

I'll post an image tomorrow when back in the office.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kevwright:
Noticed it on my T-Mobile one on day one, yesterday. Massive bit of dust stuck in the gap. Managed to get it out, but when you think that most cases are gonna be less effective cos of the chin, this could be a big deal :-(

I think mine will be getting 7'dayed.

The gap ain't the only reason :-)

Kev
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
What are the other reasons?

Remember its 7 Working days excluding the day of delivery :D don't let them tell you otherwise as some try it on
[Hero, G2 Touch General] menov321:
i cant see a gap anywhere ...lol where am i supposed to be looking ....mines on orange
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Aqrab:
what !!!

the same problem on htc diamond 2 that dust inside the display screen !

what wrong with HTC
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Its also on the Touch Pro 2. Maybe they have opened a new warehouse for manufacturing in a dusty place? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
between your ears :D

Seriously, between the HTC logo and the ear piece
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Mine doesn't have a gap any larger at the top than any of the other edges.

I'm using a black T-Mobile Hero - given the "custom" colours, it makes me wonder if there is an issue here with specific colours.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Good point... Is it just the white models then? mine is white and i can see a lovery copper looking componenet through the gap.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Mine is white and I can't see anything
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fl4r3:
Same here....the gap seems equal on all sides. Some pictures would be helpful to see what it looks like.

Mines is the graphite version from Orange.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Acelister:
You have a good one. When you look at the handset straight-on, you can see a gap that isn't fully filled with the rubber stuff. In that you can see two or three copper squares. I thought it was maybe just with the Graphite version, but if it's on the White version too, then it's obviously a build issue. The tolerances must be set wrong on the machines.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fl4r3:
Guess I am lucky :D

Mind you, if I look EXTREMELY closely at the rubber gap on the top part of the screen, I can just about see some copper part shine in the light on the left. But the gap is extremely small and you have to really look for it to reflect the light. The phones with the gap probably do have tolerance issues on the machines since some have it and some don't.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Raspster:
Kinda off this topic but the white coating on the white version is NOT impervious to dirt. I have only had mine for 2 days and I left it on a screen cleaner whipe that came with my iphone and the dye from the black screen cleaner bled onto the back cover of the back case. Now it has been very hot where I live for the past couple of days and nothing was wet but there was humidity in the mix. Sounds weird but I know it did this because the way the screen cleaner cloth was resting under the phone left the same grooves. They are only small and dull black lines but I feel they may fade with use.. I hope...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Yup, this is true. Had a curry last night and must have got some on my hands. Picked up my phone, luuurvly. Nice yellow stain on it.

I have managed to get this off by the help of my worlds best mother :) I used a small amount of Cif Creme on a damp cloth and wiped it. Back as good as new.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Raspster:
Anyone know whats the equlient to CIF CREAM in the USA? LOL
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Lovin' that teflon. Way to go teflon. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] LeeDroid:
:rolleyes: I dont see this gap as an ssue, looked around 6 or 7 Heros and they all have the same gap! as its a solid capacative touch screen with no flex, it seems the gap is to allow a little movment in the case without putting the screen at risk of cracking! makes sense, and if you give it a little squeez there is some movement ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Ok, this gap in the screen... I'm curious, around the screen do you not have like a rubber seal? I do, between the screen and be metal surround.

This rubber seal will give and take to allow for movement in the screen, but, do we thing its a case when the screens have been placed in on some devices that its pushed the rubber under the screen?

Can anyone place a photo on here...? Lots of people talking about it, but I want to see it...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I have a white Hero purchased from Mobilefun. I have no screen gap at all, I can't even see an imperfection with a magnifying glass. All I have is a very tight rubbery seal around the screen.

Can anyone tell me however, what their volume button is like? Mine has a bit of give in it; if i touch it lightly without depressing it I can move it up and down. It feels slightly loose when a finger is resting on it. It's very minor, but I was wondering if everyone else's has the same small amount of movement?

My battery cover is also not PERFECT, it has maybe a tenth of a millimetre of displacement here and there. That's probably normal but I'm a perfectionist :p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
Yea my volume rocker does the same thing (white simfree).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I've just taken the back cover off and jammed an almost microscopic piece of rubber into one of the tiny gaps in the side of the rocker. Problem solved :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gaabrysz:
Hmm i have no gaps in the screen but i do have a ..... DEAD PIXEL :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I'd be sending that straight back for a replacement.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gaabrysz:
I'll do that asap. So sad....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Here is a picture to illustrate the gap. My camera wasn't too great at focusing close so i used a piece of paper.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sallcho:
hmm, I see a great NEW ANTI FINGERPRINT SCREEN...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
Yeh that's a point. My screen gets more fingerprints than any other touchscreen ive had. BUT, they wipe off much easier. I think the oleophobic screen is both a blessing and a curse.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
Gees - Mine is never that bad.

However I did call about the signal issues and Orange suggest that the diagnostic system is down, so could I call back. LOL
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Vener:
its not anti fingerprint, it is oleophobic. Means it won't stick to oil, it is just way easier to wipe off compared to normal screens.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] egalitarian:
Did any of you guys had their phones replaced based on the screen gap? Mine also has it and I'm wandering if I should go for a replacement.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kingtendo:
Mate, get that thing replaced straight away. I did as mine had the same prob as well as a dead pixel.. I got a replacement quick smart with the gap sorted but now have 3 dead pixels.. Luck of the draw broseph..

See my thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=545726
[Hero, G2 Touch General] simcarloc:
I have a graphite Orange Hero and I certainly do not have the screen gap issue, or any dead pixels for that matter. Please don't take this the wrong way mwatson, but how on earth have you not sent that phone back to be replaced yet? That gap is ridiculous!

I hope you manage to get things sorted,

S.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Yeah you're right. Its on its way back now..... especially now HTC themselves have told me to return it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
Hmmm... I'm noticing a small gap on the replacement I received recently. When I say small, I mean I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for this thread. Basically, round the bottom and side edges of the screen, the rubber is squashed tight between the screen and case. At the top though, the rubber seal is less stressed to the point that there are TINY gaps here and there along the length, and yes the copper thing is just visible if the light hits it at the right angle.

Would this be considered a 'gap' which requires return of (my 3rd) handset? It doesn't particularly bother me but a) If i can have a good one, I want a good one and b) I don't want the gap to become an issue down the line with dust etc.

For those with no gaps, does that mean that the rubber seal is squashed tight all the way round? I can definitely edge a corner of paper in to the rubber seal here and there...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
I just got a replacement from Orange for my first phone (signal problems) and I've got the gap at the top of the screen on this handset and had it on my first too.

Basically, I'm with Switchbitch, if there are good ones out there, I want one.

It has to be said, it's so small, I'm tempted to just run some superglue round it.

EDIT: Called HTC and Orange and I should have a new one tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
From HTC themselves:

New Response From [ Pete (Europe Support (Tech)) ]

As for the screen issue, i have heard of a couple of other people that have this, and it seems that the seal may not have fitted correctly. That would be best to send it back, or i am sure that we could fix it later as well.

best regards,

HTC Europe Support
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
I have decided to swap mine out due to the gap issues and a replacement is due for a delivery this afternoon. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
OK I'm gonna go for it. This is my third replacement though, so it's pretty likely the fourth will have issues too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
I have to say, I've got the same worries. This is the problem with ordering stuff for delivery. I wish I could just go to the Orange shop and ask to inspect a handset and swap it over.

To be fair to Orange, they didn't quibble and the guy I spoke to thought it was significant.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I just can't decide if the gap in mine is big enough. If you hold it in your hand and look at it you'd be like.. 'what gap?'. But if you really look closely there IS a gap, though very tiny, and not even along the full length of the screen. It's a tough choice between keeping it and potentially having problems with dust/dirt underscreen in the future, or returning it and getting another handset with other problems. Good chance a replacement will have a gap too.

I really want to go to a store and inspect a handset aswell, then I'd be guaranteed quality. This many handsets shouldn't be faulty though, what's up with HTC's manufacturing process?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] plbelanger:
I've no issues with my Hero but I'm just curious, I'm in the US so if I should ever get a problem and have to send it to HTC for repair, would I have to send it to UK since that is where I got it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
Well the replacement I got had a worse gap then the first - It's being replaced in the morning, if that has the issues too then Orange will arrange to swap for a different phone altogether - there was even talk of cancelling the upgrade and waiting for another device which I am happy with.

I'll wait and see
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
Let me know how you get on, I'll base my decision on what happens. If you get a good one, I'll replace mine too. If not, I'll hold off :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
Will post back by dinner time ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
I feel the same, I can't tell if the people that are saying "no gap here!" actually realise what they're looking for. I can only see the gap on today's phone in the right lighting, I wish I'd never heard of this now! I'd probably have accepted it and just got on with it had I not realised, if dust does get in the gap, would it actually get under the screen?!

I think I'll have to inspect the phone the courier brings tomorrow before he leaves. If there's a worse/same gap I might just send him off with the new phone, at least the one I have now has no issue with pixels, etc.

Argh!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thedumbkid:
On my device, the rubber seal is less stressed on the top as well but I still don't know how to tell if there are gaps. Are the gaps between the rubber seal and the screen, or are the gaps between the casing and the rubber seal?
