[Hero, G2 Touch General] spacecat:
basically i am back using my old viewty phone which isnt too bad IT ACTUALLY WORKS :)

They offered me some crap loan phone but i dont wnat something that god knows how many people have stuck to their ears and my viewty is a decent enough phone for now.

I am just so annoyed that they didnt just replace it , it lasted for a whole 10DAYS! before the LEDs went and some people have reported as low as 3 or 4.

No doubt HTC will give me a new phone or miracously fix my one but this fault seems fairly widespread, i new i should have waited until they had been out for a while, its clearly a manufacturing defect.

I think the phone over heats or gets hot enough to damage the LED and or 3.5mm jack circuitry.

\I use the internet loads and it does whack out some heat when it does this.

The regular heating and cooling action could i believe damage poorly soldered/connected circuitry over time hence the delays to when it occurs i.e. not straightaway.

I dont know whether to just let it ride or kick up a massive stink !

I guess i am just really hacked off that an expensive phone i bought and was enjoying stopped working so quickly and now i have to wait!

I may give HTC a call on monday and see what they say
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Geez that sucks. I guess find out how long the wait might be, and if it turns into even longer then kick up a fuss.

If it makes you feel any better I went for the Samsung Galaxy and their new firmware broke everything :-/ the price we pay for wanting this first!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spacecat:
thanks for the support.

they reckon up to a maximum of 14 days :(

i should have screwed em by taking out insurance and the reporting it faulty then they would have had to gve me one immediatley then i could have cancelled the insurance!

I guess expecting a phone that costs £400 to work for more than 10 days is is too much to ask these days eh!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Well you should have just demanded a replacement. In fact you still can. Just say you didnt know you're rights and in fact are quite shocked that they didnt explain them to you.

The Insurance route is a bad idea - once you're on their ****list you'll possibly have problems with phone insurance in the future.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jhericurls:
The thing I don't understand is why would there be two notification lights, led and trackball? On a miss call/text the phone will light up like a Christmas tree.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] axclass:
So here is my question

If the Hero was purchased form Expansys UK and the 10 day grace period has expired for faulty goods, I can still return it because of EU laws?

Strangely, although my trackball lights up, my LED doesn't flash when I have received an sms or email, or for a missed call, but it does glow red whilst charging, so I assume it still works...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sphinxy:
I am experiencing exactly the same thing with my phone o_O
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
My LED has never flashed for anything but Google mail messages. The trackball always slowly flashes though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ballandbiscuit:
Same for me, only flashes green for a Gmail and when charging. Has never flashed for an SMS or a missed call which is rubbish. Tried the "missed call" app from the market but this doesn't work correctly on a Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gavinfabl:
Hopefully the HTC update will bring some consistency to whether the damm trackball and/or led's light up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frymaster.127:
there isn't a 10-day grace period for faulty goods. There's a 7 working day grace period for any reason - faulty, don't like the colour, there's a "Y" in the month, whatever. That's the distance selling regulations. (Note that you have to pay to return the goods)

the period in which you can return something for being faulty is much much longer - six years for electrical goods - and this is backed up by the Sale of Goods Act. (I believe if it costs you to return the goods you should be refunded, but IANAL)

while sometimes it may be faster for a customer to deal directly with the manufacturer under their warranty scheme you always have the option of going to the vendor and asking for a refund or replacement.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deeren:
anyway wanted you guys to know that i went to my retailer and wanted to get an exhange for my device. My htc didnt flash for sms or miseed calls but only when charging.

well after insisting a lot, i managed to convince him to swap but surprisingly, all the devices he had behaved like this. I personally tried 5 devices ( 4 white and 1 graphite) and none flashed for sms n missed calls. only trackball.

I am just relieved that it's a software problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] juyin0711:
Anyone provide your date code? Mine is "HT96C". You can see the S/N number by taking battery out . And I have no this kind of issue. Is this caused by difference date code? Collect more info and try to mail HTC. Good luck!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deeren:
This is the response from HTC:

Dear valued HTC customer,

Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and answering all of your questions and concerns.

You recently wrote us about an issue that you have encountered with your device

To clarify your issue, you stated that: “Dear Sir/ Madam, i am writing you for some information about HTC Hero. I am the owner of this nice phone but however a few days ago i have noticed a problem. The ledlights besides the earpiece do not flash for incoming sms or missed calls . only the trackball flashes. I went to my retailer to complain about the problem and the latter told me that the led do not flash for these notifications and that only the trackball do. i have read that a lot of people have been complaining of this problem. I would really appreciate if you could clear these misunderstandings here and tell me what does the led actually do. I thank you in advance and await your response, yours, Dr.Naiken

When you have a missed call, the right led and the trackball will flash.

When you have a message, only the trackball will flash

Thank you once again for your continued patronage.

Best regards,

Europe customer support team

HTC Corp. Global Service Division

Well for me, i do not get the missed call led notification. I guess it is a software and we shouldnt worry about it too much cause if u install the missed call application from the market, u do get led notification on messages and missed calls when configured. Let's hope for the update.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ivandias:
Hi,

This applies to the white unlocked Hero and is 100% correct.

The note in the .PDF manual on page 47 is a mistake, the top LED does not flash on notifications with applications included with the phone except for an incoming Googlemail message (edited after being corrected, thankyou).

The trackball flashes flashes notifications in most cases.

LED:

Solid Green: Battery charging full (100%) (when mains still plugged in)

Flashing Red: (Blinking, on 0.125s every 2 seconds): battery low.

Fast flashing with dual colors (Blinking 0.064s amber, stop 0.25s, and then blinking 0.064s green every 2 seconds) when mains is plugged in: battery failure or battery is over temperature (battery is on charge and over 50 degrees C)

Solid Amber and unit won't turn on yet is on mains: LDO charging mode, battery empty, cannot power on device (yet, leave it charging a few mins and try again)

Solid Amber: main applied and battery is charging (0%-99%)

If the Hero's upper right LED doesn't light at all when plugged into the mains, you have a faulty Hero (or a duff power supply) and need a return/replacement/repair.

Kind Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frandavid100:
I have noticed that several times while charging the phone using a car adapter. How bad is it? Should I stop using that adapter? Is there any risk of permanent damage?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deeren:
I don't think your statement here is right. Try setting up a gmail account and check it out. On incoming mails, you do get led blink for emails.

More, if you use an instant messenger for example meebo, you do get led blinks for notifications for incoming conversations.

Check it out!

My HTC hero is a white unlocked one . Cheers!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jhericurls:
LED notification is application dependant!

Mine is also white. BYE!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deeren:
Exactly!! cannot agree more with you. That was the best way to put it.

thanks jhericurls.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ivandias:
Lol. Yes, it does flash green on a Googlemail email. Humble pie eaten

But, it doesn't on anything else included with the phone and hopefully at least info published here helps some people who read the manual and wonder why software included with the phone doesn't seem to be flashing the LED when the manual clearly states it does!

Kind Regards

Here another defective unit. Lights and headphone worked fine and all of a sudden no LED notifications and no headphone sound anymore. Contacted HTC already.

LED's and Headphone Jack

Hi to everyone,

Only been a member here for a shortwhile... actually just since i get the Hero.. sigh... and it seems that my Hero like othes here is subject to failure too... this is my first post after reading what seems like thousands of posts to see if there was a solution that was already posted.

1. LED's have stopped working

2. Headphone jack is now not recognised

As with a lot of people i am really annoyed about this as the phone is only a couple of days old.. will be contacting the supplier for a replacement. Seems to me although i may be wrong that there is a link between the LED failure and the headphone jack for whatever reason.

LED's do not light up at all... even when charging.. that includes the trackball and pluging the Headphone jack in does not transfer the music to the earphones.

Obviously it seems that no one can shed light on the root of these problems as they seem to happen to quite a lot of people, but if you can any help will do.

As a gripe or it may be just stupidity is there any way to assign the default action in the phonebook to a mobile or a home phone without deleting the default action first?

Thanks for any help.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] handerson31:
Add me to the list as well. The phone is only 6 days old and all led notification lights, button/trackball backlighting and headphone socket have stopped working. I got a fairly generic email reply from HTC about hard resetting and sending in for repair if the problem remains. Needless to say the problem still remains after (the pointless) hard reset. Will be sending back to point of purchase for replacement rather than having HTC repair it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] minogue:
Will HTC Charge you for that???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spacecat:
Of course not its within warranty and is a manufacturing fault. In a way its better as you no they have spent time testing it as well
[Hero, G2 Touch General] M3 SMGII:
hmm, it's better then to wait for a while untill they updated/fixed the problem.

but I cant wait for my Hero, really need a phone! I wanted to order the phone wednesday so it will be delivered thursday.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hkr:
Another one

Mine died today, no LEDs anymore, no headphone, and since today, I'm not able to make a USB connection to the PC. Yesterday everything went well, LED flashed and Hero could be synced with the PC ...

Will write to the dealer and look, how warranty works in Switzerland. System is 10 days old now ... and I was soooo happy with it *grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mullynyc:
LED, Trackball, headset and menu button light failure

For what it is worth, I had a simultaneous failure on all the above RIGHT AFTER i updated HTC Sync. Did not even sync the phone. Was just getting ti ready for the upcoming ROM update. Anyway, seemingly having blown out four things that were sort of important to me, I was so disgusted that I rooted the HERO and applied MODACO's 2.2 update. I didnt even do a nandroid backup I was so pissed -- thinking I had to send the phone back anyway . Well...VOILA...that ROM update (not the rooting alone) fixed EVERYTHING and it FLIES. I am not super technical, but the rooting and update are pretty straightforward and would recommend it to anyone -- ESPECIALLY if you have lost the lights / headset use. NOT WORTH sending the phone back..do the update and you will have a unreal phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] earthbellybutton:
Hello!

I got exactly the same problem: when i whant to charge my phone suddely my notification light is not working (So i don;t know if the battery is fully charge or is low) and after i try to conect my phone to speackers and was not working, the same to my headphone. I call to Htc and they tell me to upgrade the ROM and if is still not working then i should call them again. :) ( at last i got a account on the Costumer Service) So what they told u Ce? Aaa, and besaaide of that i was asking about BT, so they tell me that the bluetooth on Hero is only for the hedphones or car kit, not for sending files or receive.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] earthbellybutton:
I solve my problem with the notification led and the head phone. I upgrade my rom and now is working much better my phone. I can play music thrue my headphones and nice blinking notification light :) yuuppiii!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AndyG:
Nice to see you solved your issue! I have the same - the LEDs dont work for notifications but the trckball does flash and the upper right LED does light up for charging.

Which ROM update did you use for this and where did you acquire it from ??

[Touch Cruise General] ij2241:
Hiya's, just a question about the ROM Update that is located on the HTC website. Can anyone tell me what it does and is it something that does good for the Cruise..

Link to the Update here

Also the HTC Update to WM6.1 indicates that the "Download is not suitable for my device". Its definitely a Cruise and I fairly sure it is version 6. Any one know why its not suitable? I have emailed HTC a couple of weeks ago but have got no response so far..
[Touch Cruise General] DriftJos:
What the ROM does is explained on the HTC-site itself. Nothing big, fixed some bugs. The main reason for me was the fix for the keyboard (it now remembers the keyboard you last used instead of displaying the touch keyboard as a default).

Had some trouble with high battery drain on this new ROM and imap email that could not connect, but that's fixed.

It's working fine now. Did not have any 'device' problems like you mentioned.
[Touch Cruise General] Bodisson:
Please do search this forum.

There was enough written about update issues, including your "not suitable" issue.

As a hint, look for my posts...
[Touch Cruise General] ij2241:
So from what I can gather, HTC basically announced the upgrade to 6.1 and then didnt follow through..
[Touch Cruise General] Bodisson:
Oh, it did.

But only for devices not obtained trough vendors (Vodafone, T-Mobile...).

And with some problems 6.0 did not have (including sync with multiple PC's)

[General Topics] newuser888:
You made me very curious.

Why would you want an OS that has so few application software rather than one that has 65,000 application? One of the key reason people go for iPhone is because they want to be able to choose from those 65,000 software, increasing by hundreds each day.
[General Topics] crazy talk:
out of the 65,000 applications only ~5,000 are worth having. this is apparent if you jailbreak and have "themes" on your iphone. most only have 700-1200 icons built in and most of the time they covered everything i had with few exceptions.

the software on the Pre is astonishing. it's smooth and elegant. and it can multitask! if the Pre had the same form factor as the Tp2 it would be far more popular then the IPhone.

[Touch CDMA General] Bigtechs:
OK,

I could understand griping at me if I just came here saying "Hay guise! I'm too

lazy to spend any time doing research and finding out how to do this on my

ownz. Could somebody just spoonfeed me something they spent hours

learning how to do?"

If that were the case I would deserve much scorn and derision but perhaps

you might hear my explanation and perchance give me a little help.

I recently bought an HTC Vogue that was sold to the original buyer through

Sprint. I have Cricket. Since I previously had an account with Sprint I thought

I could set one up again but no, they turned me down, don't know exactly

why.

I was buying the phone to replace my Sanyo that was going off the deep end

and thought I would learn to unlock/flash the new one over to Cricket on my

own. Much time was spent joining forums, reading conflicting advice and

gnashing my teeth. Then, joy of joys, the Sanyo craters all together and I

now have no connectivity at all. To worsen matters my cell line is how I get

business, being a handyman and I many people are reluctant to hire someone

who doesn't answer their phone. So, much to my consternation, I desperately

need to get my Vogue working on the Cricket network. I have the Vogue's

ESN registered as the phone on my account now and the guy was kind

enough to provide me with the min, mdn and SID numbers when I went in

to do the changeover but that's all I gots.

I have seen too many pages of data telling me the alleged definitive way to

get not only my voice service working on Cricket, but text, SMS, web AND

GPS as well but I am reluctant to try any of them because I can ill afford to

buy another phone because I bricked this one. Nor do I want to pay someone

to do it for me when I know that given the right info, I can do it myself.

I know it is stupid to lose business because I want to flash my own phone but

surely many of you out there feel the same way.

Here's what I am asking. Can a few of you kindhearted folks point me to the

ultimate and definitive guide to getting all of my services working on the

Cricket network? I really have put in a lot of search time but all I can say for

certain is that I believe that xda Devs is the site that is my best shot.

I would be very grateful if someone could help, I have also seen evidence of

many people saying that Android is the way to go instead of WM but I have

no idea if I should just stay with Windows Mobile 6, upgrade to a newer one

or switch to Android much less if I should make a change before or after I

flash the phone to Cricket. Uggggghhh.

Please good sirs (and ladies?) thy help would be most fortuitous at this

juncture.

Thanks in advance,

Tex

Adden-dumb

It looks like I figured out that since the phone was an insurance

replacement that it has Windows Mobile 6.1 on it, that solves

one riddle for me.
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
I've seen very few guides to doing this..and most of them from rather untrustworthy sites.

Basically because I believe the same information can be used to CLONE a cell phone, stealing someone else's service.

I'm afraid that's not of much help to you, but I looked into it once before, and was told basically unless the provider was willing to program it for me, it would be very difficult to do.

Iam unable to attach anything to email (pics, files, etc), it states that I need java script to attach anything. I understand that the8525 does not support javscript for some reason.
