[XPERIA X1 General] matejdro:
Yea, i have feeling that nothing changed too. About excel: it works, but on wm6.5 preinstalled office it gave me error on opening random xls files which worked without problems on PC. I havent tested with 2010 yet.
[XPERIA X1 General] sopdogg:
It looks like it's only on WM6.5. I'm not brave enough to flash and cook yet.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Hi

I just got unlocked HTC Hero. I'm unable to download firmware upgrade from HTC because (as far as I understand) the phone is T-Mobile branded.

Will I be able to upgrade after I root it?

Can I use firmware posted at this link?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
I also want to know this...

But I believe (don't take it for granted) that you can simply use one of the original RUU files on that link and update your Hero with them. No need to root it or anything... This is what I think, I'm not sure about it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Well, since there are other people interested to know I will answer my own question.

I just successfully rooted and upgraded my T-Mobile Hero to Modaco custom ROM providing a great improvement to UI speed (and many other things I'm not yet aware). I used the following guides from The Unlockr.com for rooting and upgrading:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
I appreciate it, thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Killian12321:
Hey Jackhab,

Appreciate the postback with the solution to your own problem but was wondering how old your Hero was? I've just ordered one from Tmob which I expect to arrive tomorrow and am wondering if the steps will be as simple for me.

:)

Not sure where you live but I'm in the UK so just hoping they don't come already updated.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] choccy31:
Why not go to the t-mobile forum and all your answers including links to correct firmwares are there!

T.mobile.co.u.k - we are all on there!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
I bought mine a couple of weeks ago on eBay from some guy in California, the device is from Germany and I live in Israel (quite a trip this poor cell phone made :)). I don't think you'll have any troubles with yours as long as you follow the *written* instruction (the videos are good to get the idea in general).

I also noticed this Unlockr guy(s) is a very nice person and answers to every single comment people post (see comments below the videos) so even if you do have a problem he/she will be ready to help.

Just two things to note.

First, the upgrade erases *all* your settings so don't spend days customizing it's GUI (it's so easy with Hero) just to find you need to do all over again. Upgrade as soon as you can. It will also give you better UI experience.

Second, I tried to be smart and backed up the system settings with MyBackup application. After I restored them the phone went into an endless boot and I had to go through upgrade again. If you need only backup non-system settings, bookmarks and such.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
@jackhab

T Mobile ROM as in the sticky thread should be fine but if you are after rooting your device than it is poinless as you may be flashing your choice of rom......most probably MCR....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Thanks, I used MoDaCo but since I have a choice now what would you recommend? Is there such thing as "the best ROM for HTC Hero"?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Do you mean the forum at http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/?

Can you show me the links?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
Once recovery flashed ,you can happily flash 2.8, which is excellent.

And after that dont forget to update radio with latest for excellent results.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jackhab:
Now I have 2.9. Are you saying 2.8 is better? And, by the way, what are the things radio updates improve? Is it something noticeable at all?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Amdathlonuk:
I've just looked at this....

What is included in the latest download from T-M?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] justbabu:
Nothing new, I was just giving the links to jackhab.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
Stick to it! All MCR are super.

Upgraded radio will be better than last one for signal strength etc.

Fring is now available for Android, from their website or via the Market.

Allows you to make Skype calls, including SkypeOut to landlines (if you have SkypeOut credits in your Skype account).

It seems to be more compressed and "echoy" than just using Skype on my netbook (using the same WiFi connection) but it does work and lets you use your data plan rather than voice minutes. :D

Also lets you see if your Skype contacts are available.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] palexr:
Yep, nice little app. Brilliant if you want to make cheap/free calls (just watch your data plan).

An updated ROM is now available for HTC Magic customers to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience.

Installation Instructions:

ROM version 2.20.401.2

------------------------------------------

Vodafone Proximus BE Magic 32A not accepted!

I'm pretty sure that it's just the plain stock 1.5 just with language support...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fregor:
It is, confirmed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] visitador02:
It is my understanding that you should not update to this because it contains the perfect SPL.

The update to the Sense Rom will specifically say so. And again, from what I read, if you choose to do so, it will contain a perfect SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ZeaDK:
This Update makes the phone useless to custom roms and everything good about the phone.

Info from my Fastboot:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0014 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.23.18

If anyone can come up whit a solution for this I will be very pleased
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DopyG:
1.33.0014?

Thats a never seen before SPL? :O
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :No-Frost::
It's not newer... Thats the SPL that came in the HTC Magics of my country (Chile in South America)...

It can be rooted using the goldcard method, but at least here in Chile, after you use the goldcard the magic looses the 3g, Edge, and any kind of mobile internet connectivity...You can still use wifi)...
[HD2 General] ghost-5:
This is a question that I feel is most important regarding a mobile phone but is never mentioned in any reviews :confused: -

What is the reception like on this phone - as good as, worse or better than

most

other phones

I know it's not an easy question to answer but the reason I am so interested is because at the moment I have my Omnia i900 and my Nokia 6223 sat next to each other. My omnia is just showing a 'G' symbol while the 6223 is on 3 bars. I find that my Omnia drops a bar or 2 of signal everytime I pick it up, but I read that they put the antanee at the bottom of the phone for some reason. I also owned a Touch Diamond for a short while last year and I found the signal poor on that.

If anyone could do a side by side comparison with the Omnia that would be brilliant, otherwise if you could just comment on if your dropping signal where you usually have it, if you've had no problems or concerns about it or even if your gaining signal where there usually isn't any.

Thanks :)
[HD2 General] siksik6:
Have only had the handset for a day, but in my office it performs almost exactly the same as my iPhone 3GS (on O2).
[HD2 General] Enonoid:
Compare.

Well i do not own an Omnia.

But I can get my hands on some others.

EU - NL - Tmobile - GSM - 3G - HSPDA

I live in a location where the reception of internet using 3d of hsdpa is slow.

(that was what i thought)

Ive tested the following phones.

1- LG shine

2- HTC tytn

3- HTC Touch Diamond

4- HTC HD2

Phone Voice quality

On phones 1 and 2 its was bad with a lot of noise.

Phone 3 its was better still the (canned voice)

On phone 4 , the quality was better then all three of them.

Clear and no noticeable voice data losses.

Even whispering was loud and clear !!

Internet 3g Hsdpa

On phones 1, 2, and 3. Internet was not usable. And that was not even due to the fact of a smaller screen size.

But it was the speed internet can put up a page that is viewable.

Phone 3 was acceptable. But not usable.

Phone 4,.,.

Weird enuff with the same Provider, the same sim card, the same dataplan.

Internet WORKED. Almost everytime it tells me its connected using HSDPA.

Even when its in 3G mode. It loads pages in "almost" a flash.

And yess i am a HTC fanboy.

And since the rumors started spreading about the LEO.

I wanted one, Now ive been using one for about a week. And its the best winmo phone HTC has ever created imho.
[HD2 General] cfu:
I too can confirm that the reception on this handset to be excellent.

In the locations of my office, I would normally only get 2 bars of 3g reception on my old Hermes phone.

But with this phone, i can get 3 or somtimes 4 bars of reception.

Back at home, the signal i get is pretty rubbish. Normally i wouldn't receive any 3g signal at all with my Hermes, and i can often see it dropping back to a 2g line. On the HD2 however, I get around 2 bars of 3g signal and a HSPDA connection!! What a surprise that was eh?!

At both locations, call quality is superb. (But then again I think this should be expected, because I would always have a 2g signal, regardless of whether I was at home or at work.)

Sorry that my results aren't very 'scientific' or precise. But I just want to say that signal is definitely not an issue with this handset. I would say that it's probably the best out of HTC's whole range of products, and definitely up there with the best of Nokias / SEs / Samsungs can produce. So no worries.
[HD2 General] Tubgirl:
Does anyone know if the reception is better or worse than Nokia's E90?
[HD2 General] d3l1:
So far it has the best reception. every phone I owned before had 2 or 3 bars at best, mostly 1 or 2 where I live, the hd2 is almost always at 4 bars
[HD2 General] tony.wheeler:
T-Mobile UK

No change in reception bars on this T-Mobile HD2. I have come from an HD - offers? However, the phone works very much faster that the HD and the Kaiser and there is absolutely no faulting the quality of the sound. It really just works! That may sound a strange comment to make about a 'phone' but those of us that have PDA/phones for a while will know that a PDA cannot always be counted upon as a good phone.

Very happy with my HD2 :)
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
I'd guess it's not mentioned in reviews because it depends on so much. What was the phone you are comparing it to like? What network are you on? Where are you? What bands do you use? GPRS or 3G?

For what it's worth compared to my Touch Pro I've been picking up a weak 3G where on my TP I'd have GPRS.
[HD2 General] Coatezy:
I have found the reception on mine to be better than my iPhone 3gs so far.. Used to get very poor signal at home on my 3gs.. Nearly get full signal on the HD2. :D
[HD2 General] Nighthawk:
Without a doubt, the HD2 has better reception than my iPhone 3GS.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
It is by far, better than my SEX1. I get 2 bar where the X1 got none. I love this phone!!!
[HD2 General] tregba:
Within the past 12 months I've owned the following:

3GS

Blackberry Bold

Omnia i900

Nokia N78

Touch Pro

I live in a poor reception area. Only the N78 from the above list didn't drop calls on a frequent-enough-to-be-annoying basis. The HD2 is easily on par if not slightly better than the N78 (I'm yet to have a call dropped).

[G1 Android Development] Takenover83:
Like many members here in the USA, I am on the $25 unlimited data plan that comes with 400 SMS messages. I plan on using my Google Voice account, to send the bulk of my SMS messages, sense it is free(cheaper then $40). My question, is there anyway to get your Google Voice SMS messages to show up under the "Messaging" app, as normal? Currently when you get the notification, Google Voice is opened when you click the notification.

I do get notifications, that a new message has arrived, and it auto checks every 5-minutes. Not sure if there is anyway to lower the time frame.

I do get asked if I would like to send the SMS via my normal number or my Google Voice number.

So the integration is already pretty good, but I did not know if there are some mods out there to make it even better, or if any others have some idea's.
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
there is a unofficial version of google voice in the market and it checks evry minute...but wen i had the official version my sms came thru my reg message inbox and in the google voice app inbox..i jus got the unofficial app cuz its better to me but i havnt sent a message out thru it yet since i got it..im gonna see if it comes to my reg message inbox wen i receive a txt...hope i made it clear wat i was tryin to say.
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
and yes it does come to the messaging app..i jus chk... but it still gives u a notification in the gv app also
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Set Google Voice to e-mail your Gmail account upon an SMS. You'll get the e-mail notification much more quickly, as it's pushed. Not the best solution as you get 2 notifications for each text, but it sure beats getting a text late.
[G1 Android Development] PToN22:
What i did was send all my txt msgs to gmail and disabled sms notifications and status bar notifications and auto refresh google voice app every15 minutes.

This way i dont have to be checking google voice app(since it's not push) and i can reply to sms directly from gmail
[G1 Android Development] Takenover83:
Yea I just completly disabled notifications in Google Voice. Then from Google Voice on the PC, I went to Settings>Voicemail & SMS, and chose to forward all SMS to my email.

Now I only should get one notification. The notification will open gmail ofcourse. But I prefer to reply via Google Voice, as the interface is a little better.
[G1 Android Development] Evervoid:
Here's what I did.

1. Go into settings on your computer (not phone) and click forward to e-mail.

2. Go to your gmail account, then settings, and allow IMAP forwarding

3. On your phone go to market and download k9 beta

4. Setup the app, directions are shown when you start up.

By doing this you will have instant push messaging through your e-mail. Whenever you receive a text message, it will be forwarded to your phone instantly via IMAP where you will be notified by K9. You can reply directly to the e-mail which will text the person back. The only reasons left to keep Google voice are for sending the first text (You start the conversation) and for calling other people.

P.S. I recommend turning off inbox notifications/checking for Google Voice so you wont waste your battery or get double notifications.

I hope that wasn't too confusing, I'm about to head home and I thought I'd leave this here for you :).

EDIT: I am 100% for making a new app or even integrating Google Voice directly into the OS. I would specifically like to see a contact by contact option to call with the Google Voice number Always, Sometimes, or Never. That would be immensely helpful.
[G1 Android Development] bweisholtz:
This is what i do and have found it to be the best option, as the email notifications are pretty much instantaneous.

Then i just delete the email thread when i'm done with the conversation.
[G1 Android Development] Takenover83:
I uninstalled the official Google Voice App, and gave "GV" a spin. I like the 1-minute notification option, which is much better then being notified via email. The shortcuts are very nice also (long hold empty space on a Home Screen). The options under GV Shortcut are "Directly call through GV| Directly SMS through GV| Open SMS conversations| Quickly compose a GV SMS| Open your GV voicemail| Open your GV call log. Open SMS conversations, is essentially the same as the "Messaging" app, so its a handy shortcut where you can read or choose a new contact to SMS. You also get the popup when you click on a contact, to use GV or normal messaging. I am not using this app for calls.

The only nag I have with the program, is that is rarely crashes. I also can not find a way to change the notification. Currently it just vibrates three times(along with the popup in the notification bar), so no sound. Overall a very handy program.

Edit: Even if anyone has the knowledge/know how, here is the source to the program.

http://evancharlton.com/projects/gv/source/
[G1 Android Development] Evervoid:
Personally I got quite annoyed with GV as it continually crashed on me. I have to say that e-mail with K9 forwarding is the best way to go about it.
[G1 Android Development] Takenover83:
Excuse my ignorance, but isn't K9 doing the same thing the official GMAIL app is doing? Doesn't it provide instant push?
[G1 Android Development] Evervoid:
I'm not entirely sure of the difference between the two. I believe I've read that the Gmail sync is not entirely push but rather a consistant querey to the server, but I am not sure to the validity of that. Personally, I like the layout and overall scheme of K9 in comparison to the Gmail app.
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
gv never crashes on me(knock on wood lol) i like this 1 better only bcuz u can make free calls thru gv if u only hav a data plan or if ur only usin the g1 thru wifi and dnt hav a min plan but hav a gv acct..u can call for free usin sipdroid-gv and gismo5 but it has to be the unofficial gv..jus a way to get around havin a minute plan thru tmobile..cuz u can call and txt for free thru gv..all u need is data plan or wifi
