[Hero CDMA General] Glod:
So the paint problem on my power button got worse after i picked at with my finger nail ONCE just curious on the construction like a RETARD.

what followed was a week of pain and humiliation. The paint started coming off slowly leaving my hand looking like i was touching glitter, It was like a flesh eating virus, the glitter continued and button started looking worse and worse so i decided Saturday that i would end this once and for all, i got out nail polish remover, a magic eraser, and a microfiber cloth and the result is a BARE bright RED power button that is visible from 20 feet away and looks absolutely horrible. What i also didn't expect that the nail polish remover also took some of the paint off the area around the button and off the side of the phone.

The end result is that my phone is now an embarrassment, fully functional, the rest of the phone is in perfect shape but no matter how well i keep care of it now it will still have a huge red button visible from 20 feet away.

*sigh*
[Hero CDMA General] LuisPotato:
looks pretty cool
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Bust out a silver sharpie and give it a quick paint job.
[Hero CDMA General] dennistpm:
Note to self: "Keep phone away from nail polish remover." I have a slight bubble developing on my End button. I'm hoping I don't have to scrape everything off. On the other hand you could go ahead and scrape off the paint on the Call button and have a nice Christmasy-looking phone. LOL
[Hero CDMA General] Glod:
is this a good enough excuse to get an EVO the day it comes out?

god i am bummed out
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Duck tape fixes everything!!

Get small piece and stick it over the button.. Or take phone apart, rap duck tape around it.. In the process, dont break phone so you wont have to duck tape the entire thing together.
[Hero CDMA General] mrchu001:
mine looks exactly the same dude.. :/

my back button even is starting to peel
[Hero CDMA General] Glod:
I am afraid that if i start experimenting with paint and glue that my hero will end up out my apartment window.

no matter what i do it is always going to look bad, but seriously i need to make this less obvious.

did i mention that when the back light is lit on it, it is bright as hell too.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Take it to sprint and say the paint just wore away. You are a heavy phone user and you dont like how this happened. Ask what you options are and say you would like to get the buttons replaced. They do the work for free if you are insured.
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
It's a nice pic nonetheless. :)
[Hero CDMA General] Hamspiced:
it looks like t-1000

[Hero CDMA General] ccapasso:
Mine just started peeling off last week. Not a heavy phone user, but regardless, the End Key is now peeling :(. I have insurance, so I'm debating on whether to take it in or not. If they can just fix the button, great. If not, well, we'll see. That and I'd likely have to RUU before taking it in :) (unless I just leave it powered off :p.)
[Hero CDMA General] Lennyuk:
Get some silver nail vanish and reverse the issue :)
[Hero CDMA General] jcaliendo:
Scratch everything off both the call and end buttons and just pretend it's supposed to be that way. That works for me, but I know it would bug some people.

[Hero CDMA General] thatjerk:
That's what I did. It really does not bother me. At least I don't have the dust issue. I don't trust a sprint tech taking my phone apart for those two buttons. It really looks alright when both buttons are missing the paint.
[Hero CDMA General] pbp776:
my phone end button is peel off too. I guess phone was never meant for moderate to heavey usage for end button imho. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] Genjinaro:
At 1st I was horribly upset that I had to carefully scrape the paint off of the button. But it grew on me over time & I can use the phone without graying hairs over paint peel.
[Hero CDMA General] spidercheck04:
on mine is the power button and the return button too sprint said that they can send me another one phone
[Hero CDMA General] WhiteWidows:
Same thing here mine looks exactly like urs :/ Anthink i,m goign tto try and mask it off and get some hobby paint..idk what color thou
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
I completely peeled my power button months ago. It's red, I'm over it.

The "back" button has been doing the same thing. The little back arrow is a blob of naked plastic now. I don't care since I'm getting an EVO.

There are threads at Sprint and other Hero forums where people have been trying to get Sprint or HTC to replace the phone because of this. I think only one person got lucky and was given a new phone.
[Hero CDMA General] Genjinaro:
LOL EVO or not I'd probably lose it after that. My sanity wouldn't last till May let alone June.

Maybe I'm veering into OCD? :p
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i was laughing with my friend at this thread and namely the picture (i can obviously let him see the comparison via my handset) before he suddenly stopped laughing... and with shrieking jason terror music in the background, pointed to my back button with a look of pure horror on his face...

there. glittering in the computer light, was a huuge spec missing from the paint. a golden diamond amongst the sea of shiny silver. a feeling of nausea took my stomach like the vikings and the sea monster, i poked my finger at the paint ( ..ahem, "like a RETARD") and now a full blown CHIP is missing.

the hero button paint nightmare CONTINUES.

dundunDUN

im still a man if i cry, right?
[Hero CDMA General] Glod:
damn. I have a feeling it will get worse

but why the hell is that area of the phone so ****ty made, like its just really really badly made

other than that and the glass dust thing, the phone is a tank, it survives impact like a pro
[Hero CDMA General] kenfly:
lol

but yeah i have the same issue. now my call button paint is wearing off
[Hero CDMA General] Glod:
Electrical Tape and an Exacto knife anyone? Anyone? yeah i have a innocase for the hero, lol, i stopped using it but now it seems appropriate

this is MUCH better, from a distance my hero looks cool. Dark and industrial.

and seriously, regardless of how ghetto it looks, it looks better than it was before.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
That actually looks cool.
[Hero CDMA General] WhiteWidows:
Does anyone know where to get replacement buttons? Well actually The Paint is not only missing on the END button now but also the area around the button and it look like a$$ :(
[Hero CDMA General] randalldeflagg:
when my buttons were peeling I just RUU'd it back to stock and took the phone in. the replaced it under the manufactures warrenty. cost me nothing. old phone would not over clock over 620mhz. New one can go all the way past 710 now. so that is always something to think about.
[Hero CDMA General] iaccax:
I just hot black nail polish an painted them over work for me!?
[Hero CDMA General] TheNexxuvas:
Love hearing how people don't trust Sprint Techs, LOL, some of us have been techs for over 5 years and have logged some 25,000 repairs a year.

The buttons are easily replaceable and most tech locations have a ton of them, granted we do not get the part from our suppliers, but we harvest good looking ones from Out of Box Failures all the time. It's not a hard nor long repair either.

So keep not trusting us, or, give us the benefit of the doubt and get your phone looking sweet again for free if you subscribe to S&R, otherwise, do the work yourself and pray you don't clip an LCD connection like most of the "wannabe" techs out there. :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] dpeeps74:
I'm perfectly happy since just chipping all the paint off my answer/end keys. I like having big green & red buttons :-)
[Hero CDMA General] WhiteWidows:
So send me some then
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I have no problem with my send/end buttons, but the paint on my back button is completely gone. Can I call Sprint and get a replacement for that?
[Hero CDMA General] hexskrew:
I give a +1 to the pic as well. I like it! Not to mention you should by all means give that baby a custom paint job!!!

instructions:

1. go into adb

2. nandroid

3. don't worry about it

4. go to walmart (or lowes/homedepot/dollarstore/whatever)

5.get some paint. Hell get a couple! Snow Camo (the plastic version)

6. GO APESH(7!

***EDIT/REAL IDEA***

This may sound stupid but if you find a cool design it could totally work!

1. Go hunting around for the press on nail type of design stickers

2. cut to fit (if a template needed, take a pensil and scribble on a piece of paper over the button :)

3. get some clear nail polish.

4. put the tinyest dab on the bottom of the sticker (for durability.. AND SCIENCE!)

5. press, rub, clean off excess if needed

6. Enjoy! (after letting it dry for a while)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PollPixx:
Well, I am not the kind of person who uses this kind of information, but I really like the graphics/colouring on this program. Good job...

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
This version is amazing and really good working. The GPRS service is working perfect. At the weekend the app have found 12 satalites in my range. Wow.

And in the next three weeks the DUSK theme will be online for this app. Yes this is sience stuff and my wife and me we love stuff like this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tsalta:
THANK YOU DUDE

I dont use this but i will download now with sure because looking SO COOL and Beauty

ALready have few Payd APPS that compared to this one they are SUPERB UGLY

I like the Image Quality and that is a FingerFriendly

THANK YOU AGAIN

will use it now

ONE Suggestion: The App is really COOL, Fast and Beautyfull

Maybe in the next release can be added in the Menu "My Location Service" and when you tap it your Exact location to be found by the GPS because now for example the APP recognize me by the Time Zone not exactly my Location so i live in Rousse City Bulgaria and the Application recognize me like im in Sofia because Sofia is the Capital.

Also the GPS Position is ON but i didnt see any changes..

Maybe just i miss something but when i go in the Options, USE GPS Position is Cheked this mean is ON and when i click into Locator to show my Current position about the GPS is writen

GPS Status : ON

Latitude: 0

Longtitude: 0

Cell

Status: Disabled

Cell Tower: Unknow

Latitude: 00.000000

Lontitude: 00.000000

So my question is why my position is not avalible? i mean what i need to do all to work perfect?!

When i go into Set Position Manially there is Timezone GMT +2 Europe/Sofia but IM NOT in SOFIA

Im in city Rousse

Also in the Main Screen in the top right corner is writen above YOUR LOCATION is 43 N 25 E When i chek this coordinates in google map this Location YES is in Bulgaria but its Not my city and is really far away from the place i use the app.

I hope to explain me how i can use exactly my location...Because no matter do the USE GPS position is Off or On always is the same i mean nothing changed

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Awesome... will try it as soon as possible.

Please let me know if I can help you translating this application to german.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LifewareSolutions:
1. GPS Works outdoors only when 6-8 satelites are visible.

2. It takes ~ 1-2 minutes while GPS detects your location.

3. Once your coordinates detected they are stored in the configuration file so you can turn GPS off to save your battery life.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tsalta:
Thank you very mch .. I was thinking the same that i need to be outdoor to get the GPS location but beause i didnt see any Search of the Satelites i was thinking that i miss something..

I mean for example in iGO when the iGO search for satelites you can see the animation and everything that the program is searching but in the case i didn`t see anything for that reason i was thinking just nothing heppand

Now i left my device outdoor and will see what will heppand:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tsalta:
THIS IS SUPER SUPER COOL Software

I try it now i left my device outdoor for around 10 minutes and Nothing heppand then i decide to RUN my iGO without to close the Moon Application and what heppend is after the iGo found alot of Satelites i just close the iGo and when i come back to the Deluxe Moon My exact cordinates was there WOW:) so this mean all is cool and working for me..

Also i believe alot in this Things and i know that the MOON is very importmantly for US and for everything life on the Earth and not Only.. i know a Person who is a trader in the Stock Market and he USE only the MOON Fases to trade and he have serious success on that.

Can i please you for something, or maybe is kind of suggestion.

Can you give me some info i mean to give me some place where i can read about the MOON fases and what we can expect?

Or maybe you can Add in the APP in the Menu something like..

for Example Today the moon is FULL on 100% and is under my Zodiac VIRGO so.. what is good for you to do on this day and what you can expect?! This is just example

Because i also know that have diference do the moons is in Raise Fase or Other also cause effect so maybe you can do something like INFO..

AND i think this Soft can be a WINNER of 2010 because i don`t know really such a PERFECT LOOKING AND WORKING software for the MOON in any Mobile Platform LOL.. im so Excited.

Maybe you can do something like this:

To have options to add your Zodiac sign for example i download the APP install it and im a Virgo so i can add that im Virgo and thats it..

When the App know im Virgo can write me.. witch Days are good for me, what i can expect from this days and what is good to do in this days..

This will be very usefull 1st because Everyone have his own Zodiac Sign and second one if i want to chek for some friend i will be able just to add his or her Zodiac and to see it with his INFO lol.

I don`t mean a super full alot of info but something like:

for example 26 April FULL MOON under Virgo:

The whole day will be good for you, its good to meet with new persons, and to make bussines.

For example 27 April 97% Moon under Virgo or any other Sign:

The day is not your perfect day, its not good to make bussines or make investitions because have a big chance to lose them.

I think you understand what i mean

THANK YOU

Is it possible to have sunrise/sunset timings as well? I know it's Deluxe "Moon", but i hate having have to use another app just to get those timings when this one looks so nice... :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
And can you please make the PAID one for WM, because the FREE one got VERY LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY compared to iPhone and Android one...

And please don't turn your back on WM simply because M$ so stupid to ditch the WM platform and make new WP7 platform.

We got nice apps from you but not so nice because we only got option for the limited one (FREE). And its the only option because WM is dying.

PLEASE NOTE that we really WILL BUY IT if you release the PAID COMPLETE version as Android and iPhone one. Just make it the same, can you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LifewareSolutions:
Just to clarify: all free versions of Deluxe Moon for Android, iPhone, WM and soon for WP7 have very similar functionality. Yes, we will release both free and full versions for WP7 as soon as we can release them on the market.

Naturally all full versions for all platforms have much more features. We are currently focusing on developing a free and full versions for WP7 as a replacement for WM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Yes, I'm aware of that FREE feature and LITE.

What I'm saying is DeluxeMoon FULL and WM, not WP7.

Yeah, another company that make a GREAT PROGRAM but turn their back on WM again because of WP7. Well done...

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Yeah no answer...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Just ignore us, WM users...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] luckyuser:
Ridiculous that we must beg for a paid version!

I can imagine that many WM users are disappointed, including myself.

In all honesty say that we participate as beta testers have been working on this pretty amazing program.

Now it appears a success, creating/given the i-Phone/Android users also a better version!:eek:

It is really ridiculous that we must beg for a paid version!:(:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LifewareSolutions:
be cool, stay cool

Genlemen,

thank you very much for your feedback!

We highly appreciate contribution of the comunity to the Deluxe Moon project.

At the present time we are overloaded with enormous amount of testing of the application for all platforms, OS versions and screen resolutions. That's why it's quite difficult to provide an update schedule.

All Deluxe Moon free versions for any platform have identical functionality and feature set. Windows Mobile version is even more complete: you can cahnge the date, touch teh Moon and enjoy a nice options screen. Besides that it had been translated to multiple languages and available worldwide. Thanks again to the comunity.

Q: will be a paid version available for WM? There is one and the only one reason not to release a paid application for WM. It's not a platform API (which could be much better) and it's not a WM's market perspectives.

The reason is:

Your nice WM application in which you put so much efforts, time and money will be hacked in a couple of days and distributed over multiple warez sites and torrents located in Eastern Europe/Russia/India and China. There is absolutelly no reason to create WM paid version. We hope WP7 will be more protected.

By the way that was the main reason to let WM vershion be free.

So no objections are accepted. We are sorry if someone is disapointed but Lifeware Solutions did as much as it could.

In any case we are happy providing you with such a great free stuff as Deluxe Moon is. Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
And you guys have done a amazing work, really. I was planning todo something for the dusk theme, but on my day job there was so many work todo the last month. Also in private things are changed and then there was really no time left for me.

I hope and i wish for myself that i find the time now todo things. And please hold up the very good work. Possible some people will donate to pay all the coffee, the energy drinks and the pizza :D.

BTW:

the third wallpaper is the one i will use now
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Scared developers

If you're afraid that your program is being hacked, just put it at reasonable price. That will make hacking useless.. Who want to hack a $5 program anyway? Take a good example of some program made by this community. Only a little are hacked.

Again: If you're AFRAID that your program get hacked, QUIT BECOME A DEVELOPER and STOP MAKING PROGRAM!!

You made a GOOD PROGRAM and yet you're AFRAID and not giving us GOOD PROGRAM!! Such a SHAME!!
