[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Heroic_:
Has anyone with Orange/T-Mobile tried this yet? If so, does the update work for those, too, or do you have to be on an unlocked hero or a custom ROM?

I WANT AN UPDATE :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruudud:
Yes. Of course nothing on the memory card is deleted, but the contacts, apps and everything else that you store in your phone memory.

HTC Sync takes care of the contacts, and you have apps that can backup your installed apps for you if you are not able to do so manually.

The only annoying thing I've discovered, is that I've lost the hard work i spent in connecting phone contacts with Facebook friends. But that is a small price to pay to get the update imo. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shahpur.Azizpour:
can somebody please post the EXACT build, kernel and softwareversion numbers after the official update?

Installed this update to a unbranded Hero with latest leaked Modaco rom.

I had locales for English, Francais, Dutch, Italiano.

I tought I'd get the Scandinavian language support after the "Nordic" update but I didn't.

Same locales as before.

Am I missing something or what? How to tweak the language support?

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulobrien:
You need to wipe to get the customisations.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mishobehar:
Can someone here post his serial number that works so everyone can download the update from the htc website?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 5tuart:
Probably not the best idea 'mishobehar'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spfrance:
And if you don't give us your real serial number you can replace the three last digit with a "x" ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kives:
Hmm. I flashed again the CyanogenMod's patched recovery image - booted into that - executed wipe from there - and ended up into same situation.

Nordic locales are still missing.

How do you get those Norwegian and Swedish keyboards/dictionaries?

Do you also have Finnish?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpalo:
On MoDaCo's ROM, I have done the required locale tweaking (selected locale, even used the Custom Locale application to change things to Finnish), but there is nothing Finnish in the ROM. No UI texts (not that I would even want them), no date/time format, no dictionaries, only English keyboard layout available.

Just sent message to HTC Support and asked if there is any way to get anything mentioned above. I find it strange if they've decided to exclude Finnish?!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mishobehar:
Can someone please upload the update to one of the sharing websites?

www.zippyshare.com

www.zshare.com

www.tranz.it is a great sharing website but it is in Bulgarian language so if someone can send me the update, i will upload it and this site does not have limitataions so everybody can download the file.

Thank you in advance.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thiesen:
What exactly is this? Is it for the nordic countries or for Europe?

Since when I tried to enter my s/n on HTC's site to try to download the Nordic version I couldn't... I was in contact with HTC's support hotline and they said that my Hero was for the Sweich (spelling) region...

I TOOK THE PLUNGE!!! YAY!!!

It's starting up now... it went past the Hero logo and the cute little android animation... AND THE LED's ARE WORKING!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! And the lightt sensor too... this too good to be true... I am in heaven... it works... I just suddenly got another phone in christmas (although it's the same one)

IT's GOD DAMN SMOOTH so far... and I have English, Deutch, Francais and Italiano.... I will continue to go through the first initial configurations...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mishobehar:
Thank you very much.. I will upload and post the links. One more question - does it have English language or it is only Swedish??

Does someone report any problem on non-scandinavian device???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
This is the WWE, it's got most languages. It's not specific to sweden at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] archboy69:
How come it is only on the swedish support for the HTC. I changed it to UK and nothing? Will it also be coming to the UK?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pteittinen:
If this is WWE and not specific to Sweden, where's the ROM Swedes and Danes got? And since there was that warning on the Swedish forum, should I wait for some sort of a bugfix?

I tried to download the official Swedish ROM from HTC's website but it said the file is not suitable for my phone, based on the serial number. Bought my Hero from a UK store but it was mailed from France. Could it be I can never install any Nordic ROMs on my phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thiesen:
I am in the very same position as you are my fellow Swede (hej hej, förmodligen för att vi importerade våra telefoner, jag köpte min från eXpansys).

But the RUU linked to in this thread works very fine... EVERYTHING works that stopped working a month ago (LED's, headphone jack light sensor)... and it really is faster than the old ROM...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pteittinen:
I'm actually Finnish but close enough :) Jo, jag köpte min också från eX.

Great, I'll give it a shot the moment HTC Sync finally recognizes my Hero. It hasn't managed that so far, and I've tried a few times, in a few different ways. Most annoying.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spfrance:
Also available here : http://android.smartphonefrance.info/actu.asp?ID=342 (Fast speed and no limitations) :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Switchbitch:
Can anyone offer an explanation as to why it has only been released in Scandanavia? (so far)

Also... this update blocks the fastboot mode of the device, is that correct?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
Yep, HBOOT won't flash/boot non HTC-signed stuff.

It's is identical to the one Modaco just as a base for his, so better to use his update.zip version and keep your HBOOT for future modding needs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pteittinen:
Took the leap and flashed the ROM. I'm now setting the phone up from scratch. Looks like I can't download anything from Market. Hmm.

UI does feel a lot quicker and smoother, which is nice, although I never thought it was sluggish originally.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arene:
I now have Modaco 2.2 on my rooted Hero.

Is there a reason I should try this one or should I stick to my Modaco-ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thiesen:
I suggest you try with the original HTC SYnc software that came on the memory card... HTC Sync 2.0.4 didn't recognise my Hero at all
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
For those of you who used the latest Modacco ROM, how's the speed compared to the official release? I noticed a two second lag in the clock using the Modacco ROM after a few days.

Custom Boot Image

After installing this update the patched recovery image (Cyanogen) has disappeared as well as "root" functionality.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
of course, this was something we expected when flashing the custom htc rom.

you might notice that you'll nho longer be able to flash the cyanogen image and flash a new rom if you want to now. that's because the hboot has been changed with the update. take a look at this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556010

after that i recomend the modaco rom. the advantage is that the rom doesnt change th hboot and u have rooting and ap2sd already integrated.

What memory card? There wasn't one with my Hero. Installed the Hero Sync from HTC's website on a Vista 64-bit and that worked. Had to remove the application the next day however when Vista crashed on a BSOD while doing absolutely nothing. After uninstallation Vista has worked OK again.

I also have a black unbranded, unlocked "Eastern European" version and would like to know if I can apply the "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe" release?

Also what application backs up the applications you have on the phone? I already took care of the contacts with HTC Sync.

So far so good - got everything reconnected and setup - downloaded my old apps off the Market.

Home screen seems much snappier. Phone as a whole seems very similar - keyboard response is about the same.

I get the acore forced close with Contact synching, using both Sprite Backup and Google Synch. I wonder whether there have been some changes to the contacts database as there were with SMS messages. How did you restore your contacts? I restored them from a backup rather than resynching with Outlook, so perhaps that is the problem. The Google contacts synch is Phone->Google.

Hopefully XDA will upload this copy for everyone to use, and hopefully T-Mobile haven't locked my phone to prevent the update working.

I restored my contacts from a backup (My backup). With the original ROM version I did not had these problems nor did I had the SMS problem.

Anyway I have all my contacts saved in Google contacts (csv import)

and with the csv file I can also sync the contacts from pc --> phone with HTC sync right?

I'm thinking about a full wipe and then flash it with the EU update which has just released, although it seems exactly the same file as the Scandinavian update..

Hello! This Monday i went and got a HTC Hero.

Have fixed with to and from the whole week, and are now starting to get it like I want it with the right software, root, recent ROM, etc.

BUT!

I have used much of the week to search around the forums for one thing I can not possibly get to work.

I have a Nokia BH-602 which I previously used with my E75 (or because of this issue is still using)

Now the problem.

Paired with my E75, I got all notifications of BH-602, ex. sms, msn, mms, email etc, all the sounds that the phone did, even custom ringtones.

In my HTC Hero is the only conversations that I can get the BH-602 ...

WHY ?!?!?!

No, BH-602 is not an A2DP headset.

If that is the case that Nokia has had this to work with just BT1.5, why not the android? Or why there is not a SINGLE little answer somewhere on the net that says more than "it does not, you must have A2DP"

It's not needed because it works with my nokia.

Even a single small ugly hack or something, anything!

I want my hero, for which Eddie Izzard says;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6C_HjWr3Nk

"This is the one! I will not have to work again!"

Help please anyone, if nothing else, a laugh a little at Izzard, so wonderful!

I'm using a T-Mobile Touch Pro2 which includes the Broadcom Bluetooth stack and Microsoft Voice Command 1.6.2105. The problem is the Bluetooth software is not compatible with Voice Command and I hate it.

Voice Command is unable to announce TTS events via any bluetooth headset despite having the option for that turned on. Also, activating Voice Command via a bluetooth headset button is either very slow, or unstable (doesn't work sometimes).

Has anyone been able to create a Rhodium ROM that uses the normal Microsoft Bluetooth stack, which has been known to actually work with 3rd party programs?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] asango:
Finally someone who has the same problems as I have.

There are also other annoying side effects of this Broadcom stack:

- As we all know the stereo output is nothing compared to for example an IPhone. Therefore I always used WOW SRS as a sound mixer which closed the gap at least to some degree on my Kaiser.

But now with the TP2 and its Broadcom stack as soon as WOW SRS is installed (I know about the different settings and driver versions to get it working, so this is not the cause) the BT stack is only connecting the hands free profile after this and the stereo profile is simply not working any more.

With the old MS stack this was not a problem.

So I'm back to the old crippled stereo output again :mad:

- One could imagine using the integrated HTC sound mixer/booster, but here another even more annoying thing comes into play:

The internal sound mixer (and also the FM radio by the way) are not working with BT at all!!! :mad:

Both are only working with a cabled headset and I found no way of getting the FM radio sound to the BT headset or using the sound mixer function on BT.

Together with the non working voice command thing this whole BT integration is so dilettantish that I can hardly believe HTC is selling it as a "professional smartphone".

If someone has any workaround for the above things I would highly appreciate it.

And of course if one of the chefs could implement the old MS BT stack in a cooked ROM this would also be a great thing, but I have not seen one so far.

But even if, I can only hope that some HTC people are reading these comments and that HTC is putting some more professionality into this issue and will soon get it together as a working whole and not as this amateurish implemantation it is currently :mad:

I have a sprint tp2. on the opposite end of you i like to use my stereo bt with my pioneer bt deck. with the tp1 i had no problems but now i cant end the call from the deck anymore, it lags when picking up the call, and some other minor bugs. the sound quality is still good.

What Pioneer headunit/Pioneer bluetooth unit are you using?

I have an AVIC-D3 with the Pioneer CD-BTB200 module for bluetooth. I have zero issues making it connect with the CD-BTB200 module. I can make calls, receive calls, play bluetooth stereo, etc. The ONLY issue that I have is that when the phone rings on an incoming call, I only hear the ring through my phone's speaker, not the speakers in my SUV. This was not an issue with the M$ Bluetooth stack, however. Go figure. If I can figure out how to make the phone sounds play through my speakers (yes, I have the send notifications/sounds box checked in the advanced bluetooth properties), everything will work 100%.
