I dont think you will be able to find a Cheap New hero with warranty or insurance. I think the only way you can do that is by buying online, which is still pretty dam expensive even though its an old phone. I got mine off craiglist
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HiTach:
3 Smartphones 0 data plans

I got their messages late last year about forcing a data plan on my unlocked iPhone, so I was forced to sell it. I have three smartphones on my account two of which I was going to update - due to which the grandfather clause would be negated. I called and was able to make sure they annotated my account to allow any smartphones (except iPhones) on my numbers not to require a data plan, based on long customer history in good standing. YMMV.

Now running MyTouch, Hero Touch G2, and 8125 (waiting for upgrade to a GSM Droid a.k.a. Milestone) all with no data plan.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
The IMEI is not pushed to the carrier from the phone. The only way they would know is if you call them up and tell them. I've been using the hero for about 3 months now on the $10 family data plan.

On a side note, are people getting dropped calls from their hero? I've been getting more dropped calls from this phone than my previous phone. Wondering if there's a different radio firmware or something that I can upgrade to to fix the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Twenty4:
I have no problems with a Telus Hero. Excellent data speeds too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
@HiTach so at&t pretty much just let you use other smartphones other than the iphone? Since upgrading or switching smartphones negates the grandfather clause right?

@obfuscated7ruth never had a problem with dropped calls...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eatmydave:
Yes! There is an issue with certain radio versions in North America. I use the one in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581981, and have not had any dropped calls on at&t with my Hero. 3G works flawlessly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] silver2kgti:
nor do i!!! i love this phone
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheChemist187:
I am also thinking about getting one so i can keep my 10/month medianet plan. Do all of the GSM heroes support atts 3G? If not then what must I look for?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
No, as far as i know only the Telus (canada?) one is compatible with at&t 3G in the US. I dont have a data plan (and dont plan to) so i just got whatever hero i could find.

Sounds like you haven't created an ext4 on your SD card making Gapps not work. If this problem still exists after making a ext4 partition then try reflashing the rom.

[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
Jealous of the Droid users with their custom windshield mounts? Currently, I have not seen any aftermarket windshield mounts that are specifically for the CDMA Hero. Want to make one for around $8.50? It's not that hard, and only takes about 20 minutes of your time. Here's how:

Custom belt clip holder for CDMA Hero + Some sort of windshield mount.

I picked a windshield mount for a Garmin 200, which worked out well for me. This cost me $4.39 including shipping from HK, from eBay seller 'metapark'. Then I purchased the belt clip from eBay seller 'mobilesandpdas' for $3.89 including shipping from Ohio.

1. First thing you're going to want to do is pop the pin out of the belt clip to take it apart.

2. Then remove the rest of the clip using a drill and a 3/16" drill bit. Go slow! It should only take a few turns and the rest should come right off. Then you can take the rest of the mechanism and toss it.

3. Now we want to remove the round part where that mechanism was previously connected, in order to make the back of the clip flat. At first I tried a hacksaw, but it looked like it was going to tear up the back of the holder, so instead I used some wire cutters. Clip the semi-circle of plastic and the center pin.

4. Now to get it perfectly flush, you're also going to need to sand or grind it down a bit too. It should look like this when you're done.

5. Next take the mount for the Garmin 200, and remove the portions that extend forward to grab the Garmin. Use a hacksaw for this, and then sand it a little to smooth it up and make it look nice. You'll end up with a flat piece.

6. Use some sand paper to scuff up where the two pieces will be glued together, to make sure they get secured well by the glue. Spread some epoxy (I used some 5-minute stuff) thinly on the areas where they will contact. Make sure not to get any into the socket where the ball of the rest of the mount sits. I also filled the little valley with epoxy just to make it flush.

7. Let dry (I waited 15-25 minutes) and enjoy the new mount.

Finished product: [Front], [Rear]

Note: I know the final pics aren't that great, but it does really look great. No one is going to tell it isn't factory unless they're really looking closely. Some of the epoxy I slopped around where I didn't want it, I removed after about 5 minutes by scraping it lightly with a straight screwdriver. (wait for it to set up, or you're just going to spread it around)

By the way: This mount holds the phone very steadily, it doesn't shake or rattle in anyway at all. Another nice thing is that you can swivel the phone sideways for landscape GPS nav.

Check out how davide169 made his mount in this thread
[Hero CDMA Accessories] rlaxton:
Cool, Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] crunchybutternut:
Nice job!

I'd be interested in a DIY solution that allowed the camera to be used while mounted for Layar, or other Augmented Reality apps.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
You could move where the mount is glued on slightly, and it would probably work. The belt clip part has an opening to allow for camera use.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] poor_red_neck:
Well..... I think driving is one of those things where you need to focus on REALITY not an augmented reality.

I'm using a air vent mount for my hero, as my car's windshield is too deep (Volvo S80)

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Arkon-SM329-SBH-Universal-Cell-Phone-Air-Vent-Mount/13045680

Works fantasticly, and what I love is that it rotates 90 degrees so when using google maps/nav I can have it widescreen.

The version i purchased in the store looks a bit different, but it is very adjustable so that the USB power cord can still be plugged in, and its the first universal mount I've ever used that holds the phone securely that doesn't mess with the volume buttons.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] toastcfh:
wow bro good work... shows u were determined lol . but yeah thanx for the hook up.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
@poor_red_neck

Yeah, I've been using a similar version solution until now. Unfortunately, I've owned a half dozen of the universal mounts, and they all have a few issues. The main one recently being that I can't see my google navigation when it's way down on my air vents. :D

It also worried me when exposing my phone to temperature extremes. My vents go pretty much closed, but the heater still would heat my phone up, so I completely stopped using my dash vents and switched to floor vents until I built this one.

@Everyone else: thanks for the compliments, I hope this will help someone in need!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] zikronix:
i run your boot screen and now ill be running your mount.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
Thanks. There's nothing that makes my day more than knowing that I've done something that someone appreciates. Its the reason I stopped lurking and started posting.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] rufflez2010:
I've been looking for this for months! I paid more for a insufficient product. I may give this a go.

Only downside is my Seidio 3500mAh won't work with this... but that doesn't stop me from using the original battery for this purpose :)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] bobsbobbers:
very professional and exactly what I needed. thanks for the step-by-step!

:D:D
[Hero CDMA Accessories] halcyon_22:
good walkthru, i just ordered myself the beltclip, car charger and mount. all said and done, $9.00.<--you cant beat that with stick!!

thanks!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] scirio:
I have something like that. One thats a pre made one of those, solid, no rattles and has an optional elbow.

And my current setup that's power/audio wired inside the dash and pro clip mounted on the right of the HVAC using right-angle extUSB

No pics
[Hero CDMA Accessories] HeroMeng:
Nice. This looks great for using Maps Nav.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] katmandu421:
You could easily drill a hole in the back of this setup for a camera port.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] jschramm:
Awesome job, ordered all my parts, cant wait to put them together.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
I may have to try this... I'll take a look at it here this afternoon and see if that would line up right. Not that I'd acutally use it lol
[Hero CDMA Accessories] abcdfv:
This is flipping amazing. I'll build on this week!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
You might want to note that the Garmin mount came from Hong Kong, so if you order from the people I did, it might take a week and a half to get it. However, the same concept would apply to any other windshield mount that you could glue on.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] rufflez2010:
Just ordered both items. Should be a nice fun quick assembly! Thanks again for this post.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] djjenso0n:
great idea

ordered them up look twoards the completion of my project

thanks for the idea
[Hero CDMA Accessories] akijikan:
Hrm, this is almost great but I'd have to take it out of the otterbox every time I got in the car and put it back in when ever I get out
[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
There are belt clip holsters for the Otter Box too. You could do the same thing.

Edit: Wait, maybe I'm wrong... There's one for the seidio case, but maybe not the otter box.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] chococrazy:
I had an idea of getting one that slides in. Instead of the ball you push in. That you can get a belt clip that slides in, and a suction cup that slides in also.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] SamXp:
Just built one of these. Works great! No more awful, bulky, clamp-on windshield mount.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] cooolone2:
Really cool stuff, gotta make one. Thanks for the inspiration and info.!

:)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] rufflez2010:
Got the belt clip in the mail today, fits great! just need the GPS mount and ill have pics 5 min. later

Stage 1 complete. Still haven't received the GPS mount :(

Here's a pic of the progress. I just used a nail file and got good results. Took like 10 minutes after getting a good piece of the plastic off with wire cutters.

So far, so good
[Hero CDMA Accessories] bubi73:
Finished product which only took 20 minutes start to finish. Not shown is the band aid I needed on my left thumb for cutting myself! :)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ro_bro:
I use something like that, except it has a window mount. but i don't like it b/c it rattles. (the side arms that hold the phone). I'm going to try this custom mount today. Got all the parts as of yesterday.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ro_bro:
OK, took 30 mins last night and finished this project! Like user bubi73, I inverted the back clip so that the camera can see through the mount. (different than the OP's pic).

some lessons learned:

1. I accidentally put the epoxy on the 'bridge' area that goes right below the hole. that area is over a whole and won't stick on anything. oops. I had to put black electrical tape there on the inside to make sure that the sticky epoxy stuff won't be an issue. I hope it dries up fully soon.

2. I think instead of epoxy, crazy glue can work. epoxy seems unnecessarily messy, even through it's really strong. I might try another one to test.

3. When drilling to take off the belt clip of the holster, it's a good idea to drill and lean the bit to the sides to weaken that center and allow for easy removal. Don't drill down into the holster.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] awesomginger:
So I just went to check a little on ebay for the parts. I ordered the Garmin 200 mount for $3.99 (amazing), but then there are no more of the custom belt clips from mobilesandpdas. I am under the impression that most other similar looking belt clips would do the job, am I correct?

Thanks for any help in advance....
[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
Be careful. There is one style of belt clip going around that mounts face-down. This obviously won't work for you.

If you've got one that mounts face-up, this should work fine.

BTW, status update: I've had my mount fastened to the windshield of my car since I wrote this guide. Even through the ~100 degree week we had. I don't park in the shade. It still looks and functions like the day it was new.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] awesomginger:
I found one that looked exactly like the one you used and i got that. Now, to wait for the shipping.... :/
[Hero CDMA Accessories] NekoHunter:
Just wanted to give my thanks for this guide as well. Thanks to bbv203's insight in the Otterbox thread, I found that I could use a Samsung Moment holster instead of one designed for the Hero when making my mount so that it holds the Hero in its Commuter case. It takes a little trimming to make the volume buttons fit with the screen out and a little extra routing so that the camera is fully visible, but the result is well worth the effort!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] thematrixkid17:
Anyone want to buy my mount that starred in the making of this guide? It's in good condition. I also have a slightly used "2000mah" Andia extended battery too. Check out this thread for details:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782816
[Hero CDMA Accessories] maxpower47:
Sweet. I don't suppose you have access to a Seidio case to test it on? The holster designed to hold it with the case on only works with it facing in.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] NekoHunter:
Sorry, the Otterbox is the only case I've owned for this phone.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] maxpower47:
If any one's interested, I did end up getting one to try with a Seidio case and it works great. Haven't made up the mount yet, but I did cut off the belt clip and opened up the slot on the side for the volume buttons.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] the_jon57:
Or just go to DealExtreme...

You can also just go to DealExtreme and get one of their universal mounts. They take a while to ship but they're ridiculously cheap:

(Link removed, XDA won't post it because I'm new? Dumb. This was a link to a search for "universal car mount.")

Here's the one I got:

(Still can't post a link but the SKU on their site is 41529.)

The one thing I have to be careful of is that it doesn't hold down the volume down rocker when I put it in, but for $5 it's awesome. Stays well-attached and fully folded it's about the size of a can of Fancy Feast (cat food).
[Hero CDMA Accessories] pizzachef:
Thanks! Works great on a plastic disc on the dash of my Element.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Casao:
Tunes Remote never works right for me (force close anytime I try to browse the library, if anyone knows the solution), so I'll give this a try when I get home, thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TheSailerman:
I just tried out Tunes Remote and Remote for iTunes for the first time on my Nexus One.

I couldn't get Tunes Remote to find my library - it searched for almost 10 minutes before I gave up on it.

Remote for iTunes worked like a charm. It found my library almost instantly, and it just works. The only notable feature it lacks when compared to the iPhone/iPod touch Remote app is the ability to adjust iTunes' volume - not a big deal, IMO.

Edit: I take that back. The volume rocker adjusts iTunes volume. Sweet.
