I came frfom a Moment, let me tell you to each his own. If you prefer a hardware keyboard, and better colors, get the moment.

If you don't mind the virtual keyboard and want to be able to flash 3-4 times a week from development community, get a hero.

The Moment currently ONLY has a cooked kernel to flash that was made by someone who started at samsungmomentforum.com and moved to sdx-developers.com.

With the CL14 kernel update the battery drain issue was solved, after putting on that update I would get a day and a half on my phone with light use, it has vanilla android with no extra interface options, which could be a plus or minus on which way you look at it.

I enjoyed my moment, but was left "wanting more", so I traded it for a TP2, which has a huge development community. The TP2 left me "wanting more" because it couldn't do the things that Android could, so I traded it for a Hero and now I am completely happy.

To each his own, sir..To each his own ;]

Wait for the Supersonic. Upgrade deals will come and go, that deal doesn't even sound that good to me.... your phone has made it this far, what's a few more months (hopefully... )

You will regret it if you don't once that phone comes out.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailypush:
Made me laugh... And was helpful! (thanks for making my day)

Go for the Hero.. you will love it!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatonka_hero:
I love the people that say "wait for the supersonic". They have NO idea when it's coming out. The thing could come out in April, or it could come out in December, or it could come out any month in the middle. There's been no statement saying when the thing's coming out, and your guess is as good as mine (mine happens to be late August or September, to catch the Hero crowd wanting to upgrade).

If you like the phone you have now and want something with a snapdragon processor, then you obviously have to wait. I honestly don't see what difference a faster processor is going to make when it comes to the overall use of the phone. The 2.1 ROM's that are out now are so insanely fast that a faster processor would be overkill for the general use. It would certainly help with some of the processor intensive apps/widgets, but for general functions, I really don't think it'd make a huge difference.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
That is my thought also. And frankly, my fervent prayer. I'm due for upgrade in December, and I'm hoping the Supersonic will be fully rooted and kickin' 3G butt by then, lol!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Personally, I signed a new contract when I got my Hero's. So I am stuck for another 2 years or what ever the time period is for an upgrade. I will be drooling over a supersonic, but hopefully by the time mine comes around I'll be able to get one of the dual-core 1.5 ghz snapdragon phones. Hell, I may bite the bullet on one when they do drop one on Sprint instead of waiting. I think I'll skip the current phase of 1 ghz devices though.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatonka_hero:
you're not a premium customer (premier customer? I can't remember the specific term)? I thought like 90% of Hero owners ended up in that category, simply due to the price of the plan.

Guess I'm not entirely certain, being that I'm not on a contract, and am eligible for upgrades every year (or so I'm told by my girlfriend lol)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scriz:
Individual plan of 69.99 or more, family plan of 99.99 or more, or someone who has been a customer for 10 or more years.

So, yes..most hero owners should qualify for Sprint Premier, as long as your account is in good standing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Yeah...see I didn't know that.

I'm on the 129.99 Unlimited plan x2 lines. I guess that qualifies me, assuming I don't drink all my money away and can't pay the bill. ;)

I guess I will requalify around the begining of december. Good thing too, cell phones don't usually last me more than 7 months or so. They habitually end up in the toilet. :o
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakujin:
thank you so much folks! You have a been a world of help in final decision... I too feel the moment is too big, and realize samsung's lackluster handset support in updates over the years... i am definitely getting myself a hero.

funny that one or two of you mentioned battery life. I was reading a very verbose conversation on that on the moment board just yesterday between engineers but thought it was related to cooked roms. this concerns me now as wifey likes the hw keyboard of moment and she's also not a tweaker so cupcake/moment will do her just fine, even if eclair doesn't make it. She simply needs pictures, video, and mobile access to facebook for android and a decent browser as well as gmail, google calendar and such and she's golden; prettiness of gui is not a concern. But this battery problem is in the stock Sprint 1.5 Roms? She would not dig 5 hrs of battery life and I'd therefore have to waste the $35 fee in getting her over to another phone!

Say it ain't so! Does this affect all stock Moments if so?

Also... this Sprint Premier... is the reason for getting it similar to TEP i.e. upgrade options faster? What are the perks and is this a request i need to make?! More details please! I'm coming off 4 years of T-Mobile (although had sprint prior to), and am looking at the $129.99 Everything Messaging (unl. data, text, mms) - 25% monthly corp. discount so ~ $97/mo before taxes when all said and done. I would like to transfer asap as our phones are ancient; plan sucks @ 700 min (although very cheap at ~$52 before taxes/fees after discount); 2 years of contract doesn't bother me so much, but if I see the potential which happens from time to time (ETF change recently) I'll jump at breach of contract and void my contract. However, I don't mind not having a snapdragon at all. It's more important to get TX numbers (for discount and lower taxes/fees) before moving west. Frankly, I've been putting of the upgrade for far too long, invariably waiting for something better, or that next great thing. I was going to go HTC TP2 because of the excellent support from this community in the past, but w/ the announcement of win 7 and tegra and the cost of the tp2 i changed my mind.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hakujin:
anyone know what good sprint premier is?

now, the more I read about supersonic, the more I am reneging, as I'll be jealous. I know Sprint has a 30 day exchange policy if you pay a $35 fee, but if I purchased the handset from Amazon, maybe not?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
sprint premier basically lets you get full discount every year instead of every 2 years.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rank78:
the odd thing for me is i'm under a family plan but my dad is the main account, yet last year i was eligible for the 2yr/150 only after owning the instinct for a year while my dad was only eligible for the 1yr/75 upgrade when we got the instinct at the same time. i just checked and now i'm back to only 75 off after 1yr and 150 off after 2yrs. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
so when do you guys think we will see the official update? maybe april? :(
[Hero CDMA General] cooolone2:
Ok... did the usual search thing... haven't read or found any new information on this issue.

Considering it (BT FILE FUNCTION) to be one BIG omission on the Android platform and/or with the HTC handsets, I am interested to know if the functionality of file transfer (and whatnot) has been made available, will be made available or has been put into any of the ROMS... to ANYONE's knowledge?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

[Hero CDMA General] Shelnutt2:
let me add on, does anyone know if SPP or HID profiles were added also?

[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Sorry double post.
[Hero CDMA General] cooolone2:
**BUMP**

Wow... I find it hard to think with all the Dev's here nobody has ANY insight or anything to say about the BT issue? I know the profiles have been updated for the 2.1 release, but that's about it. No word of FILE functions? Wow...

Well, in any event, I appreciate ANY word on this subject.

Elow.

Can someone tell me how to build HD2 Roms? I mean - there are so many ROMs out there, but how were they built? There aren't tutorials. So I think it cannot be really difficult.

I actually imagine, that you start with the normal clean HTC ROM. Then you install your Cabs, etc., use some registry tweaks, maybe some visual changes, and that's it. Then you have to "save" the actually ROM, or better said: you make a backup of it. (Dunno how to do this.)

Yep.

Is this right? Or how does it work? Can anybody help me or give me a short tutorial?

Cheers.

I've searched but I couldn't seem to find a thread, I'm wondering what cases do all you guys have? I just got the hero and I want to protect it, especially the screen. So who has what and who likes what?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] KBizzle:
Here is some good reviews of the most popular cases.

http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/49725-bodyglove-vs-otterbox-vs-seido-innocase.html
[Hero CDMA Accessories] tejasrichard:
I use the bodyglove case. I like the way it looks and feels, but do have 2 complaints:

1. When typing in portrait mode, it is hard for my to hit the keys at the edges of the screen (so i normally type in landscape mode, lol!)

2. If you DO happen to drop your phone, sometimes this case pops open. That being said, I've not had my phone damaged when this has happened, but you still should be aware.

I plan on trying the otterbox myself, just to see if it is better, but for the most part I am completely happy with the bodyglove.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] morbidpete:
I have thew rubber case they sell in the sprint store. i cut the edge's of on the screen part due to not being able to hit the edge of the screen like tejasrichard mentioned with his case

Has anyone compared the otterbox impact and commuter series? Is the commuter series suppose to be more rugged? I can get the commuter series from newegg for the same price as the impact normally is. Reading their descriptions on the otterbox website aren't very helpful in differentiating the series. The commuter is a hard shell where the impact is a soft one right?

Seidio Innocase II combo. Absolutely love it. Adds almost no bulk to the phone at all.

[Hero CDMA Accessories] lordofokra:
Otterbox

It's a little bulky, yeah, but it has a good feel to it. Also, Hero took a trip into the hot tub again (survived once with no case) with the Otterbox on and there was almost no water inside the battery area when I pulled it out. Phone still works!

[Hero CDMA Accessories] danknee:
I'm using a swiveling mount from Proclip.

The pricing is absurd, $45 just for the swivel part, you need to have a base mount to attach it to. I already had a custom base in my Honda S2000 I bought for my Garmin ($15) with the standard mounting holes. The Garmin is going to Ebay with these great new 2.1 ROMs and built in NAV.

The Proclip is well built, very functional and sturdy as hell. It works great vertically and horizontally. It DOES NOT work with a case on your Hero. I am using a no-name hard plastic clear case ($5 from the interwebs) that I snap on and off each time I get in my car.

The whole setup works so well that I am using Home++ so that I can utilize horizontal home screens while driving... Can't wait for Darch's stock build and I will switch to this.

I will be getting a new case in a couple of weeks that has yet to hit the market. It is 100% waterproof and very functional for those of you that are boaters, beach goers and pool sitters. See pic below. I will have them on eBay for $39.95 but for all of you here on XDA, it will be $30.00 + $3.00 shipping. I can invoice you via paypal or we can do the cashier check and mail thing.

i use something similar to that, its basically a silcon resin skin case and its hella durable... ive dropped the phone so many times with it on it and not a single scratch or crack....

i highly recommend it

its got the toughness of like a hard shell case but its far more flexible and is only one piece.... i really dont have much trouble typing like others seem to complain about

I second the otterbox.. I have the commuter and absolutely love it. I took it off for the first time in months the other day and realized that I was so used to it that the hero felt weird without it on.. lol it is worth the price.

I got the Otterbox Defender. Total protection and well worth every penny. The only downside is having to extricate the phone to pull the battery.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] dante042:
I get to work with Otterbox cases, so...

In levels of ruggedness (lowest - highest):

Impact - a good quality rubber skin

Commuter - an inner layer of rubber with a thin-ish outer layer of plastic.

Defender - an inner layer of rubber with a thicker outer layer of plastic.

In terms of use, most people around my work recommend & use the commuter on their iPhones. I've heard complaints that the defender case interferes with hitting the edge of the screen. They should all come with a screen protector.

I haven't tried any of the cases personally (just makes the phone too bulky for me, but then i also have a clip attached to the backside of my phone, so I'm a bit weird :P), but my wife LOVES the commuter I got for her Samsung Moment. It has a good feel, if you ask me.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] alxrg:
For what it's worth, I ended up getting a 5$ case with screen protector off ebay and it's been great so far.

I'm not rough on my phone so the otterbox cases were an overkill (Although their great!! I've used them before)

This one slips into my backpack no problems, plastic not too sticky so it's pocketable.

I suppose I could spend more on a case, but I don't use it much anyways.. I prefer to look and feel of a phone without case!

I would really like to get an Otterbox case myself.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] JEsuzzz:
Yes that's exactly right. I bought my otter case at best buy online because they don't have it in stores. I personally have the soft case and love it because its not as bulky as the body glove one that I used to own. Its all up to you the hard cases really protect it more of course. And when I bought my otter case it came with a screen protector. But if you really want to protect your screen buy invishield they are the best out there its quite pricy but worth it

Otterbox defender.

U will thank ur self one day.

Ebay has em a bit cheaper.

My job gets me a 22% discount so I got it around 35$ from) vzw store.

(I have a droidx2)

I dropped my phone out my pocket on a rainy day IMMEDIATELY AFTER buying the otterbox. But BEFORE I could put it on.

Luckily it stored short of the puddle of death.

But the body glove case I had on at the time(which was peeling back after ONE MONTH) popped off and my x2's casing got scratched and nicked all on the corners and edges. needless to say as soon as I got home I burned the body glove out of frustration and slipped on the otterbox. 10 drops later and you would never know I dropped it. The otterbox even still looks brand new.

If u don't go with otterbox then go with a Trident Kraken case.

Protect ur investment. The more scratches/drops ur phone goes thru the LESS its worth in resale. Invest in a durable casing. U wont regret it. And u EASILY get uses to the size difference quickly ;)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] pr0stagma:
I have a silicon case, it makes the phone a bit heavier but it gives satisfactory protection.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Hmoobphajej:
Got myself a cheap otterbox defender. Well its cheap now anyways. Its awesome though, kind of thick but for me it's about the right size. My hands aren't the smallest or biggest but it fits comfortably in it. Plus it has the belt clip, hard case, and silicon sleeve. Feels pretty safe accidentally dropping it now.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ashclepdia:
don't forget, the belt clip doubles as a kick stand ;)

and ive dropped mine a few times since putting otterbox defender on it, and EVERY TIME I go "aahh awe...meh who cares, DEFENDER!" LOL...
[Hero CDMA Accessories] kbitz:
I do this all the time. Rotate the belt clip part around so it's pointed at 1-2 o'clock, and then turn the phone around in the case. It'll hold the Hero in landscape mode on a desk just fine.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] cytherian:
The Otterbox Defender looked too big for me. The Impact ended up being rather bulky too, but it works reasonably well. The only problem with the Impact is that without a hard shell, it's too sticky to store your phone in a front pants pocket. The Commuter is the best option, IMHO. It's basically like a junior cousin to the Defender, with a soft rubber casing and a removable hard shell, while still maintaining a reasonably thin profile. I also like how the ports are covered. $3.99 on Amazon while supplies last.
