[Hero, G2 Touch General] Basket_case:
Hey guys,

I am sure this is a topic that has come up in the past, so bear with me.

i recently got a sprint HTC hero(converted by a friend from an iphone)

i hooked it up to my pc and i can't get HTC sync or windows to recognize my phone due to the drivers bug. Windows will only recognize it as a storage device.

I am currently running Windows 7 64 home edition.

i tried the solution posted on the unlocker but have had no luck.

(new user won't let me post link lol)

any help would be great

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Basket_case:
After posting the above post, i decided to rework everything...

it took me a few hours but i discovered a work around for the work around that wasn't working for me lol

thanks to everyone who read the post

sorry for the waste of space :-/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] airoff:
and you're going to share it with us, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Indeed,... Let others know how to solve the issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Basket_case:
Hey guys sorry it took so long for the reply, I was dealing with a family crisis and hadn't had much time to do anything.

you will have to find your sources for Sync and the drivers because i can't post links in the forum.

This is how I solved my problem:

1.Download latest specialized sync tool from HTC, namely HTC Sync 2.04 from HTC

2. Install the downloaded program on the computer. At this moment, your computer still won't recognize the HTC Hero.

3. Manually update the HTC drivers from Windows 7, using the Windows Vista drivers

by installing HTC Sync software on a machine running Windows Vista and then copying the drivers (namely androidusb.cat, androidusb.inf, androidusb.sys, htcrndis.cat, htcrndis.inf and WdfCoInstaller01007.dll in HTC Drivers folder) over to the Windows 7 machine. or you can manually download the drivers from someplace like theunlockr.

4.Extract the driver into a folder. For example, %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64 (for the Windows 7 64-bit) or %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x86 (for the Windows 7 32-bit) accordingly.

5.open devices and printers

6. right click your android phone and choose 'properties'

7. go to the "hardware" tab and again select "Properties"

8.on the general tab click"Change Settings"

9. Go to "driver" tab

10. Click "update Driver"

11. The window that pops up will ask how you want to find the driver. Be sure to select the option that allows you to browse your computer for the driver.

12. Navigate to where you saved and unzipped the driver.

13. reconnect phone

now if everything went well HTC sync should recognize your phone.

now if this doesn't work msg me and i will try and help you to the best of my abilities
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tucamsam:
I know this is a rather old post...but I have recently just switched back to the Hero after taking a trip to webOS land...I have followed these instructions to the letter, but my phone still does not show up in Devices and Printers...Do I need to be using exactly the version of HTC Sync mentioned here, or should newer versions work as well?

Also, in other places I have read, it mentions that the Hero should pop-up a notification asking to allow a connection to the computer or something...I haven't seen this...is there somewhere in an app setting that I may need to change a default value?

If anyone is still interesed in buying a x7500

Hello there,

If anyone is still looking for a x7500 to play with I have one not doing much since I bought my HD2 so am looking to sell it on. It's a T-Mobile Amro branded unit that I bought from a dutch chap a while ago and was happily running with my O2 sim.

Currently has SPL3.5 and Lennies Hulk rom installed and is in full working order. I have a couple of cases, the original manual and a charger with a Euro mains connector and the bodywork is in good condition with just a few sctaches here and there.

If anyone is interested I am happy to post pics up of the unit. I will happily ship anywhere just let me know so I can work out a price for you.

Andy,

can anyone help me? I've been looking for a dictionary app for the hd2 and haven't had any luck! :( ino there is tons for the iphone so just woundering if there is any for this, thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anonymous operator:
I am using "Langenscheidt Dictionary for Windows Mobile".

But I guess it's only available in german...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PlayStation:
Install Microsoft Reader and then download the free Encarta Pocket Dictionary. I have used it for ages with other Windows Mobile devices. Actually can read various books with pocket Microsoft Reader. Ed

Edit.... Not sure Microsoft Reader will work with 6.5.... It appears the available app is for wm 6.1 maybe you could try it for us and report back. Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lord.Nibbler:
There are lots of dictionary apps for windows mobile.

http://www.hnhsoft.com/dictec

As a matter of fact I do think that there are lots of really good softs for windows mobile and they definitely can compete with Iphone ... and without the need to jailbreak or hack your own phone to be able to customize it a little bit ! :mad::eek:

But it is also a fact that it is more difficult to find the softs as there is no softaware catalog that could compete with the centralized AppStore : you have to search with google with a lots of keywords : Pocket PC, wm5, wm6, wm6.1, wm6.5, windows mobile and so on ...

<OFF TOPIC>

Yet the biggest enemy of Window Mobile in the ability to compete with Iphone is from my point of view ... Microsoft :

- With the aberrant conditions to entry MarketPlace for developers,

- And with their crappy windows phone 7 series that is maybe the biggest step backward in computer industry that I've ever seen,

they will totally kill Window Mobile and commit suicide to their mobile department !

Cheers,

Apart from "Encarta Pocket Dictionary" it is available the "Oxford English Dictionay" in .lit format for free some where in the net, and if you have a dictionary in .doc format (with hypertextual links) you can convert it to .lit format using the appropriate mirosoft word patch, all links will work in .lit too.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M37R01D:
Hi,

Ive tried both versions of Fresh 2.1 roms and both do the same thing

it says i have 30 voicemails but i really have none.

I do have GVoice, but ive checked both my sprint and GV and both show no new Vmails.

i went to settings > calls > delete vmail icon

which works for a few mins but then it pops back up

normally i wouldnt care all to much but what happens when i talk on the phone, i guess my check rubs on the phone and i always do 3 way calls with my vmail and whoever im on the line with and it is kinda annoying

Anyone who may have any ideas please shed some light??

[HD2 General] gavin22y:
Hello All,

Just wondering if you can help, I have tried to upgrade my HTC HD2. I installed HSPL on the phone, the phone was hacked fine, all went well. I downloaded the Energy Rom, all started to install fine, then it started to load it up for the first time, and then restarted. Now the HD2 won't connect to Active Sync and is just on the O2 Welcome screen and doesn't go any further, any ideas of how I can sort this out please?

Thanks a lot,

Gavin.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
flash a compatible radio. check in the first post of your roms thread, the chef will probably recomend one.

power off, hold vol down, tap power keeping vol down, this boots you to bootloader.

when the word 'serial' turns to 'usb' flash the radio.

restart the phone.
[HD2 General] gavin22y:
Cheers for that managed to sort it.

[Nexus One General] Android Touch:
Ahhh, idk about this one..

I think it's too big...

what do you guys think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnQcsC-qjpo
[Nexus One General] darx:
If i was on sprint my phone would already be on ebay.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Same size as the HD2, which is NOT too big...the overall dimensions of the phone are just a little taller than our N1 and about it looks like half an inch wider.

+1
[Nexus One General] malicious85:
i really dig the kickstand.. pretty cool feature

front facing 1.3 mp camera is pretty cool, video chatting ftw

1500mah battery will not last long in there at all

id consider selling my tmo nexus1 when that comes out on sprint

depends on how sprint decides to handle their 4g data plans

afaik they will not be offering all you can use on 4g
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
The battery can't be any less than ours... we're at 1400mah, right?
[Nexus One General] malicious85:
bigger screen is gonna suck more juice, not to mention all the extra goodies that phone has

yeah the nexus has 1400

[Nexus One General] TurboTsi:
There is nothing the new iPhone that will come out this year have that will be better than the EVO!!! **** I want it
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
I'm personally sick of chasing phones, my n1 seems pretty cool still, nothing really kicks its arse...

Plus imo its too big.. the hd2 looked way bigger than my n1 when I compared them...

4.0 would be perfect... I most definitely ain't switching providers.... n1 for me all year unless a better processor comes out I could care less about the camera and front camera... just my opinion...

But looks cool though
[Nexus One General] Android Touch:
I don't think the big screen is gonna be pocket friendly and HTC is just throwing phones out there that won't reach quick updates like the Nexus. Sure the Evo is better spec'd but the support the Nexus will get from Google will keep it at the top until Googles Nexus Two. I just think all these random HTC Android phones like the Incredible, Desire, and the Evo are one and done androids. They will get Android 3.0 like 8 months after the Nexus and that will most likely be it. While the Nexus is there getting fed updates.
[Nexus One General] darx:
I really am excited to see applrs response to all these amazing phones.
[Nexus One General] crazy talk:
getting it on the first day without a doubt.
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
CDMA fail...
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
After switching from an iPhone 3gs I really have come to despise exclusivity agreements with carriers the way the EVO 4g will be. If HTC goes out of their way to make the EVO 4g available on all the carriers the way Google is going to do with the N1 then I would consider EVO 4g but otherwise I wont support that kind of shady business practice anymore. This is why I support an open company like Google which puts the customer first and gives them options they are asking for.
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
HTC sadly won't make it available for all 4 and doubtful if any of them but Sprint. Hopefully my predictions wrong though :)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Ok.. so while a couple of you have good point, it seems that the majority is in denial because you already bought the Nexus One. I own an N1 too guys...but I can honestly say that the Evo 4G is going to be a great phone for Sprint. At the end of the day, this is going to help Android increase their market share, which is what we all should be rooting for.
[Nexus One General] darx:
I didn't want to be the one to say it haha. this phone trumps the n1 in all ways except design.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
It doesn't support 802.11n. Does it have an AMOLED display?
[Nexus One General] Aesthetics45:
ya maybe with Sprint...
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
nope i had 3g every i went with sprint, even in places where my verizon and at&T friends had no coverage i did :)..i miss that network :/ but im glad i was able to cancel my contract through that loop hole because now i can get it subsidized :D and no contract with tmobile so everything is just working perfectly :)

Unfortunately no one can post the links as that would be considered Warez, it's illegal to have a game rom unless you own the original game.

[Desire General] firedup:
Some people saying Thursday, some Friday, some Monday.

Anyone had confirmation or have inside T-Mobile info?
[Desire General] harroguk:
Official date touted by T-Mob is the 26th however if their stock arrives early they will be sending it early.
[Desire General] cpam:
:) Friday, but probably I will receive it Monday. :D
[Desire General] leoni1980:
You've no chance of receiving it until the 6th at the earliest. No stock will arrive for either phone shops or general retailers until the 1st of April - which unfortunately is the day before Good Friday.

The original 26th projection was erroneous.
[Desire General] thedalmeny:
26th wasn't a projection - it was the date T-Mobile stated for release on their twitter page and to all press contacting them.

I've also been told by 3 seperate customer service agents that stock will be in by 25th - to expect delivery on Saturday 27th.. If you're lucky, Friday 26th. (Which has been confirmed by pretty much everyone on hotukdeals - who have ordered the phone)

So i'm fairly confident i will be getting my HTC Desire at the very latest - Monday 29th of March. Plus i ordered 2 hours after they put up the pricing details, so got in very early incase their first shipment was limited.

Also to note: T-Mobile and all the networks have a window of time on their Credit Check process. 10 days..

So you'd have quite a few very angry customers - who have been debited £164 for the £10/pm price plan (like myself).. And have a credit search added to their credit report - only having to repeat the credit search process again.. As they can't complete on that time frame until despatch has been confirmed.
[Desire General] jamiepyrite:
I was told Saturday by both the guy in T-Mobile store and T-Mobile on the phone. Although the guy in the store mentioned it's a bank holiday on monday so I won't receive it til Wednesday... :S
[Desire General] leoni1980:
Ive spoken to a number of authorised HTC vendors who all say that the 26th WAS stated as the despatch date but that this is now April 1st. How can TMobile get it before the factories have despatched it?

Also Friday and Monday are bank holidays so theres no chance of anything arriving then.
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
I received an email of black market import manager, he pretends he will get it on 1st April in the showroom,if it's true it will be great to spend Easter holidays with a Desire!

Don't ask how he will get it so fast knowing he buy directly from Asian countries, unless he uses air freight it will come by boat and this take plenty of time (10 days)
[Desire General] leoni1980:
I forgot to add....my handset will be unlocked and unbranded and the contract is only costing £306 all-in so even if TMobile somehow get their branded stock out first im still happy :)
[Desire General] thedalmeny:
Just decided to ring to confirm again

Stock coming in Friday - Should arrive Saturday.. So think where ya getting ya info is incorrect..

1) T-Mobile wouldnt pump out a release date of 26th - and tell all the press aswell

2) I can't imagine they'd waste submitting thousands of credit searchs - only to have to resubmit then and then go through the hassle of removing the original credit search from everyones credit report. As two searchs would have an adverse affect on somebodies credit rating.

3) Doubt they'd be lieing to so many customers about a release of 26th and expected delivery of the Saturday - as everyone on hotukdeals have been told that.. And hundreds of people on there have ordered.

As for phone branding - nobody knows yet what T-Mobile branding will be on the phone. If any.. I'd imagine the battery cover is most likely with the time HTC have had since T-Mobile are getting the first batch.. Simple pop onto ebay in 2/4 weeks and u'll be able to order a replacement cover for £7-10 if you really want.. :) - As for locking. Not a big deal to people already on T-Mobile like myself - plus unlock codes will be doing the rounds in the next 1-2 months.

As for you getting one for £306 - i giggled - i really did :)
[Desire General] thedalmeny:
Some indications that the handset will be completely unbranded physically

- Someone on here on another thread, said T-Mobile UK on twitter informed him of no branding

- T-Mobile HTC Desire competition winner posted a video of his new phone, no branding. He can't however confirm whether its a pre release or T-Mobile retail version

- Chatter on other forums with people confirming the handset will have no branding

I would imagine the phones will come network locked - my personal feeling is T-Mobile wanted to first release of this phone.. As a result - didn't give HTC enough time to brand the device.. Whether this is true of the network lock, network boot logo or firmware.. Is unknown.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Yeah they informed me via twitter that it was going to be unbranded (this was back when I was going to try and get early upgrade rather than buyout and new contract).

If you think about it there is one reason which really sticks out for this, Orange and T-Mobile are merging VERY Soon. They wouldn't want to be merging, changing their name and then having their best handset still displaying the old networks name. That's my opinion on it anyway.

BTW, if it was branded they would have renamed it like the other HTC Android phones, T-Mobile G3 Mytouch 3G or some crap like that...
[Desire General] thedalmeny:
Very good point on the handset name - they did indeed rebrand the HTC Hero the G2.. So again that could be a clear indication of no physical branding.
[Desire General] firedup:
Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Just called t-mob again and this time the operator said she thought it wouldnt be available until next Tuesday so probably delivered for next Weds / Thurs.

WTF is going on? Why cant we get a definate date?????????????:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
It sounds like the initial rumour of them only having 75 handsets is true.

They will more than likely have got way more than 75 handsets. They're probably prioritising the initial stock for "loyal" customers eg Upgrades and everyone else will get the phone when they get more stock which is probably when you said "next Tuesday"
[Desire General] firedup:
Annoying. I already have a contract with T-mob, this will be an additional contract (which I would think would make me more 'loyal' than someone with one who is upgrading.) But then again I am a bit of a freak. I've ordered 2 Desires so will now have 3 T-mob contracts, one 02 and one Orange. Don't tell my wife....:eek:
[Desire General] leoni1980:
I still wouldn't hold your breaths thinking you're going to get your handsets before the 6th April. Operators are notoriously slow on the uptake/shady with their sales tactics and all the alternative vendors ive spoken to seemed very erudite and said they were in close communications with HTC, and that all their information was telling them that the 1st April was the earliest shipments could be expected.

I fail to understand why T-Mobile would get the handsets a week before the three largest distributers and resellers in the country with no good reason. If the handsets are available and tested HTC would release them to all clients surely?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
It is because T-Mobile have a (albeit very small) time exclusive contract with the Desire.

It's been known for ages, back at MWC infact, that T-Mobile would get the phone at the end of March and other networks would get it in April.
[Desire General] leoni1980:
its not a network issue though: contract IS on T-Mobile and is not supplied by any other networks, it is a generic factory model.
[Desire General] niraveg:
Just spoke to T-Mobile & it is an unbranded handset. Still locked to T-Mobile UK and it's meant to be non-software branded but I could be wrong.
