has anybody bother to update there prl and profile? being that it was sitting in the box for a month or so.sprint has updated there prl recently and that may fix the issue...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mike21pr:
i did.... still same issue
[Hero, G2 Touch General] flexte:
I had to reset my phone twice today just to get the internet connection back. Android is a joke or maybe its just sprint. Im moving back to winmo as soon as hd2 is here in the US.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] katmandu421:
I can assure you it is not Android, but Sprints implementation of Android on the Hero. Hopefully we'll get a 1.6 update soon. Hang in there, it'll be worth the wait.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] flexte:
i hope so. i really miss bluetooth transfer and exchange server is constantly on i want to be able to set peek times. i also want me notifications to repeat until i acknowledge them. missed call only works or missed calls and sms.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jman069:
I have reset my phone three times now and still not working. I can assure you this has nothing to do with the network as I'm still able to receive calls and emails hence not the network but what I believe to be HTC. Let me clarify, I believe I have either installed an app that corrupted my ability to receive sms text or somehow messed my phone up however it's the phone itself that's not erasing all info when I do a reset like it should.

I still have audio files from sound boards I installed when I initially got the phone that are still present after four factory resets that shouldn't be. This is a phone issue and not a network issue. Sadly the phone is so new there isn't a rom I can flash to that would fix the issue as whatever I did to my phone a factory reset isn't fixing it. It's that simple, if HTC made it to where a factory reset put the phone back to the original state then I wouldn't have this issue or files present from 3-4 factory resets ago....

This is frustrating :O
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
A wipe should restore your phones internal state to that of the shipping ROM.

However, it won't touch anything on the SD card, so I do wonder if the files you are seeing are on the SD card, as many apps will automatically store their data on it.

Dave

working

Well after a factory reset, and a profile/prl update im happy to say that its working again. I HAVE NOT INSTALLED ADVANCED TASK KILLER which seems to be the one that started this since its the only task manager i have used and to my surprise, my hero is just as fast and responsive letting android handle the memory management. I found out i did not need it after all. At first the messages had a 5-15 minute delay till i recieved them but i tested again after i woke up just now and no delay at all. Looks like its back to normal.... sooo relieved
[Hero, G2 Touch General] riironman:
it was that damn taskiller that screwed up my text. if you kill all apps then you will have to reboot your phone to get the services running.i since than switched to advanced task killer and there you have a option to just kill certain apps and leave the critical ones running.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lawsofpower48:
you might want to try NOT installing anymore task killers, ive tried nearly all of them...i even tried the avanced task manager.... you will get the same issues on the long run, ive been mentioning this to alot of people and no one listens.... dont use task killers or any taks managers... it will ONLY screw up your hero and you will be on here complaining again over and over why your phone is messed up. There is a thread on here somewhere explaining why NOT to use any task handling programs. The hero is built to handle the programs and it closes them off if they are not used manually, you guys arent running on windows anymore, so no need to close programs
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mike21pr:
it was Advanced Task Killer that messed up my Hero...

but as the above poster said, i stopped using task managers since my incident and have not experienced lag or issues whatsoever with memory management or closing apps letting android do all the work. its fast and snappy plus i dont have to worry about closing apps anymore. dont need it
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jman069:
I did notice earlier yesterday that the sound files were stored on the sd card as well as a ton of other things (I had not viewed the contents of the sd card on my pc previously) so I erased all contents of the sd card, performed a factory reset and still nada... Can make and receive calls and can send text which people receive however I cannot receive texts. Also I didn't realize this previously but despite updating my Visual Voicmail I was also not able to receive any vm's that people had left me.

I even installed the CDMA Rom found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559622

I've spoke with tech support who says everything is fine on the network end of things and we checked my MDN & MSID in my phone and my phone was being programmed correctly over the network. I also should note several times in between flashes I haven't installed anything at all!

I have two options at this point which are to stick with the HERO from here on which I'm sure a replacement would fix the issue as long as I avoid task managers (which I did install when this all started and I installed several to try so who knows which one did it) or return the phone and wait for the moment and try that out as I can't exchange for another hero and switch to the moment due to sprint's 30 day return/exchange policy...which I'm not complaining just stinks in this situation as I wanted to try this out a little longer.

If anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestions but to recap I've factory reset approximately 7 times both through the menu as well as the boot up method. I've deleted everything from SD card and even formatted it. I've even used a clean Rom to try and fix this. Also I've done PRL & Profile updates after every reset. I'm at a complete loss as to anything else I can do that hasn't been done.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Twenty4:
Let me start off by saying, I am an Kaiser/Tilt user on AT&T. While I am waiting to upgrade to the Tilt 2, I decided to pick up a Sprint Hero and give it a 30 day test run. I must say I really like this phone, I actually like the looks much better then the standard Hero. Love Android and it's ease of use but Sprint service sucks. I wish AT&T would get on the Android bandwagon and pick this phone up.

I have only had the Sprint Hero for two days. I was planing on keeping it for about 3 weeks then returning it for the full refund. I don't even think I will make it till the end of the week.

Sprint, stop worrying about 4g and get your regular coverage fixed first!

Only complaint I have with the actual phone is battery life, but that is probably because I am playing with it constantly!! I am sure under normal use it would be much better

Battery Issue

Well I've played around with alot of settings on the Sprint Htc Hero. My Awake Time was 100% of the Up Time. I knew that wasn't RIGHT! Cuz my phone was going into sleep mode at least 1/2 of the time. The question was why were they the same. HTC really didn't know. I had read on the 'net that it was a text app issue. So I reset my device. Before I used it, I check the Awake Time vs the Up Time. My phone was going to sleep. The times were different. Then I sent a text message from my phone and then checked it. It did not go into sleep mode. Even when the phone looked asleep. The time were now constantly running. So I reset the device again. This time I after reset the phone was running like it should. So the 1st app I installed was Handcent SMS. I then tried sending a text message to wife's phone and she recieved the text (oh the text did go thru on the last try). So I checked the Awake Time vs the Up Time again. They were different. The phone was going to SLEEP. Great! BUT!!!!! Then I tried to send a SMS from the wife's phone to mine (Htc Hero), my phone did not recieve IT! So, I Reset the Htc Hero once again. This time after the Reset the phone was working like it should (in regards to the awake time vs the up time). This time I sent a SMS from my wife's phone to my Htc Hero. I recieved it on my Htc Hero. Great! Then I checked the Awake Time vs the Up Time, and they were different. The Htc Hero was going to sleep. Then I installed the Handcent SMS app on my Htc Hero. I then sent my wife's phone a SMS from my Htc Hero "Using the Handcent SMS app". And her phone recieved it. Great! I then checked the Awake Time vs the Up Time, and they were still different. AWESOME! So now I was sending and recieving SMS and the Htc Hero was going to SLEEP. The Awake Time and the Up Time have be different ever since. But everytime I ADDED an APP, I would install it, use it, and then check the Awake Time vs the Up Time...... just to be SAFE. So far my phone's Awake Time is 7:13:00 and the Up Time is 28:59:20. My Awake Time is 25% of the Up Time. The phone is sleeping 75% of the time....saving battery. Oh......... anywhere the phone asks you, always set the Handcent SMS as the Default SMS app. 1 thing though, there is a slight delay recieving SMS (3-10 sec) somethimes. Sending seems to be instant. I think that the recieving them is slow because it goes through the phone normal app. But it is working! Hope this is some help!

I use Task Manager 1.10.7 and it works just fine. I recommend it if u need a task manager (which u will at some point).

I also heard about the messaging app battery drain issue; some have recommended chompSMS and Handcent SMS and avoiding the stocing messaging app.

I haven't tried those, but I haven't received a text in the last 24hrs and my awake time is 24%
[Hero, G2 Touch General] davebu:
have 2 heroes on one acc, 1st time messaging wasnt working it was line 1 and we had them deactivate it and reactivate it (my solution, not theirs). it worked, but somehow messed with the 2nd lines functionality and caused messaging to stop on it. did the same thing on that line and then the 1st line stopped working again. called up again and they had me do a reset through the dialer (##786# if i recall correctly) and it worked fine after that. only did that on the one that wasnt working, the other line works fine now too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ajones7279:
Sounds like you guys have bad luck. I've had my Hero since the 9th and haven't had to do a factory reset your. Nor have I had any issues with messaging. Or maybe I just have good luck. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] toenail78:
uhh howd u get in on the 9th, the release date was the 11th?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ajones7279:
Best Buy Reward Zone members were able to pick theirs up on the 9th.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] candicerestenfel:
I was the 1st to get one from my Best Buy on Oct. 9

Yep, Best Buy here had them on October 9. Early release for the Htc Hero for Reward Zone / Pre Order from Best Buy! I may check out the Samsung Moment when it releases Nov. 1. Does anyone know if it will be early from Best Buy? It should be. Nov 1 is a Sunday. The guy that I talked to about the Hero said that they always have them early (like Thursday or Friday before they go on sale). So I figure that it will be available on Friday. I might stop up and ask them. But has anyone heard?

Marc
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ajones7279:
No. But most people didn't hear anything about the early release for the Hero until about a week or so before, if that early.

text message issue

I am also having the same issue with text messaging. Everything else on the phone works correctly, I just can not receive text messages. Sending them works just fine. I have never installed a task manager program of any kind, so the issue may have a different source. The only apps I have installed were 'google sky map', 'ringdroid' and the 'shop anywhere' app. Off to the Sprint store today.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jman069:
Thanks gonna give it a try! EDIT: the ##786# asks for a password when you try to reset... It's your MSL and this didn't fix it.

@ Rainydaze7

I also had ringdroid installed when things went bad initially along with 60 other apps... so far most people think it's a task manager that's messing up the phones but who knows at this point.

Found a safe mode for the phone which may help someone in the future as well:

Press the END CALL/POWER button and hold the MENU button until the system boots up to the Home Screen. Then the Safe mode notification will be shown on the bottom left of the display. In Safe mode, all 3rd party applications will not be executed so you can boot up your phone successfully to uninstall any applications which you may have recently installed or which may be stopping your phone from booting correctly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bb45:
Just got back from the Sprint store with the third replacement HTC Hero in 4 months (plus 11 trips to the Sprint store). This time, we didn't even make it out the door before the phone stopped working! The Sprint repair people in the store are terrific, but all they are authorized to do is continue swapping out the phone. From what the repair techs told me, the problem lies in the fact that the OS is not compatible with the phone hardware. There is no solution in sight. They suggested calling Sprint customer service.

The customer service rep was surprisingly rude and unhelpful. I am a 10+ year Sprint "Premier" customer (a worthless title) and for my loyalty all they offered to do is give me a different model refurbished phone if I agreed to sign a 2 year extension of my contract. When I refused, the rep suggested I contact HTC to complain about their phone. I sent an email to Sprint Customer Service in the hope that it might reach someone more sane.
[Touch HD General] ferraridave:
Wondered if anyone can help me with this, been searching for a soloution for hours and can't find one.

I have photos attached to a good deal of my contacts, and when dialling via a speed dial button the contacts photo is not displayed, (Rhodium dialler and canvas), they are when dialling in any other way just not on speed dialling, and this annoys me greatly.

What I want to do is either, make it so that they are displayed, or, disable speed dial completely so that they don't show up on the phone canvas, and you just see recent calls and contacts.

I worked out how to delete the speed dials from 2-9 but can't get rid of the voicemail one, does anybody know how to make this deleteable ?

Thanks' in advance for any help given, Dave.

Has anyone found a way to filter your appointments by category in either SPB MS 3.5 or Manila??

I have both my and my wife's calendar entries on my phone, categorized, and I would like to make it so that only my appointments show on the agenda view of SPB MS or on the calendar tab of Manila. I can't find a setting anywhere, so I'm guessing one doesn't exist. I'm happy to do a reg edit if anyone knows what I need to change. Thanks!

Hey all. I think orions is the best wm game. Unfortunately it doesn't support the wvga resolution. You can use wvga fix, but I wanna play the game on wm6,5 which isn't supported by wvga fix. The previous version of the game (the second age) could be played on wvga (with black stripe). I've just took the EXE file from it and put to the folder with Deckmasters and clicked on it. The cards from deckmasters appeared In duel mode (I play only duels), they behave correctly, but pictures are all messed up. I think, that the .pak files are responsible for images (in deck masters there are 3 image folders, in previous is only one, i think, that it is possible to put all the pictures in one .pak and it would work). Unfortunately I can't open the files... I tried plenty of programs, may be somebody like orions too and would help me?

sorry for awful english)

You can try my version of the game (just extract, copy to your ppc and click on the "orions2.exe" in the folder

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowfear:
What are the stats of the phone? You can check the versions in the settings\about phone area. Model #, Firmware version, Baseband version, kernel version and build number information would be helpful.

Is it already rooted? If not, you may want to go ahead and start reading up on the root process. Some of the newer builds may or may not help the issue. But if it isn't rooted and you arent getting a signal, it very well may be a network issue. Also, does your phone service have a data plan? Has the phone gone through and passed all of the sign-in procedure? (being from another country, I am not sure what all you have to do to activate your phone) Sim card good?

I had an issue with the glossy battery door on the new tilt 2. I am accustomed to the tilt 1 and its nice rubber back. I do not like body gloves nor plastic cases. I use a screen protector and carry phone in a leather belt case. So, the glossy screen, edges, and rear created a very slippery, very expensive device.

I found no solutions to my problem online (ie replacement OEM TP2 case...) and I am very impatient so I took matters into my own hands and the results are below.

Let me know what you think!!

Its actually very easy to "clean" (wipe off) any finger prints and such. The finish is more like a satin finish. If you think about it, finger prints and dirt show up less on a non-glossy surface.
