[EVO 4G Accessories] lllDreadChiclll:
Okay so I have noticed that my bad ass EVO has the future doomed screen separation issue going on. Not to the point of where I can put a card under the edge like some I have seen but I noticed it so its there. Seeing that HTC has recently acknowledged it and plans on changing something during production of the next batch I have yet to apply my still in the box Zagg Invisible Shield. So I'm thinking it may be a few months before we see any new ones should I go ahead and apply the Zagg til then or hold off for a few months til mine can be replaced? I hate to waste it and new phones come in after I had recently placed the shield on but I also don't want to stratch my phone up either even if it will be replaced, just in case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] brndnwbb:
might as well apply it. just register your zagg on their site. so you can get a free replacement when the time comes. that's what i plan on doing.
[EVO 4G Accessories] frettfreak:
Not a fan of the feel of the Zagg... BUT.. thats pretty awesome that you can register and get a free replacement!! I can appreciate a company for their business ethics and it will make me like their product more to know that they stand behind it like that!
[EVO 4G Accessories] brndnwbb:
i'm not too sure on how i feel about them. this is my first time using them. what do you use?
[EVO 4G Accessories] frettfreak:
I just ordered a Steinheil so we will see. They are a more hardened material (more like glass) than the rubbery feel of the Zagg (which is just a 3M material)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Check Resco's site and see if its a standalone app.

They typically offer trial versions of other apps with the main app.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] p00ltergeist:
No its not , as I mentioned before the taskmanager is "packed within" the explorer.

"Buy this - get that for free" kinda thing.

Anyway Im using Showcase tm for now so it should satisfy me for a while...

While on the phone with someone, if someone else calls, the current call goes completely mute.my girlfriend can't hear them and they can't hear her. Is there anyway I can fix this?

I have a Nexus One and I don't experience this issue.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megan23247:
This happened to me today! Ended up having to hang up on them and callin um back. Wonder what were doing wrong?

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tangent_:
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but this sounds like normal call waiting behavior to me. If you want the current and incoming call to be able to hear each other you need to conference the calls, not use call waiting...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SvB4EvA:
I'm having the same problem on my TP2.

What happens is this... You are on a call with 1 person... Another person calls, call waiting shows that another person is calling, BUT the problem is that my phone gets muted. You CAN hear the person you are on the line with, but they CAN NOT hear you, and turning your mute on and off does not help. Also, even if u take the other call... That person also can not hear you.

This is a big problem because you must end the call and call back the person u were on the line with... also, if the other person keeps calling... it turns into a real mess...

Any ideas?

I can confirm that you can EASILY unlock a HTC Hero on ORANGE without having the go thru the tricky procedure of installing the Modaco Custom Rom also known as rooting.

I bought a brand new HTC Hero on eBay locked to Orange, when I recieved it I noted that it was not running the latest Orange ROM 2.73.61.66 so I updated it, this was fairly straightforward as I had an Orange PAYG sim to hand which I got for FREE also on eBay which allowed me to check the version.

The only problem I had was related to Windows 7 64bit (and possibly Vista 64bit) in that I kept getting error 170 when trying to install the new Orange ROM, I ended up doing it on my Windows 7 32bit netbook instead.

Once updated I purchased an unlock code for £ 6.50 on eBay which was to unlock Hero on T-Mobile but unlock codes are specific to the IMEI not the supplier so it worked with the Orange.

SUCCESS!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Rooting and unlocking are two very different things offering radically different functionality :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
I know but previously with an Orange locked phone you HAD to root in order to unlock it, which is quite an undertaking for the less technical amongst us.

Since February 2010 Orange ROM update 2.73.61.66 was released all you now had to do was update the ROM to the latest Orange ROM 2.73.61.66 which is much easier proposition. This fact is not mentioned on the HTC site or on Orange info about the update.

I am not saying rooting is still no beneficial its just there does not seem to be much regarding this new easy way to unlock the Orange out there.

My first google searches returned posts many of which dated back to 2009 and after a quick search I had come to the conclusion that unlocking an Orange Hero was not really feasable.

It was only because I won an auction for one on eBay which did not have the simlock mentioned in the listing which turned out to be an Orange that I started to look into it further and found a few references to the fact that the 2.73.61.66 ROM update solved the problem but info was still pretty scarce.

If you search this forum for HTC orange unlock there is very little information there, hopefully someone searching in future will find this and have the confidence to buy Orange locked Heros or be able to lock theirs should they already have one.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bonesy:
You never had to root it before you unlocked it! I unlocked my first hero the day i got it, i never rooted that one. I rooted this one and havent unlocked it
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Exactly :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Some Orange handsets never gave the option to input the network unlock code. Can't remember which ROM version it was now. But yeah, some had to downgrade or update to get that option. Same as mine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Detol Loki:
I've unlocked 4 Heroes on Orange using different ROM versions..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Just to clarify - untill the release of the February Orange ROM Update 2.73.61.66 it was impossible to unlock the ORANGE variant of the HTC Hero without installing the Modaco Custom Rom first (aka rooting) which was a tricky proposition for those who did not want to get their hands too dirty.

Heros locked to other networks never had this problem and it was possible to unlock them with any ROM. The ORANGE variant needs the 2.73.61.66 ROM update to enable relatively simply unlocking.

Like I said I just updated my brand new ORANGE locked Hero from an older ORANGE ROM to the latest 2.73.61.66 ROM available on the HTC Hero UK Site and was able to unlock the phone after purchasing a £ 6.50 unlock code from eBay which was for a T-Mobile phone but the unlock is based on the IMEI not the brand so any properly generated unlock code will then work.

EDIT: I think some early HTC Heros from Orange had a ROM which did allow unlocking but that was replaced by a further set of updates which disabled unlocking untill the February 2.73.61.66 ROM update enabled unlocking once again, this may explain why some people say they had no problem unlocking their early Orange HTC Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Wezternator:
I thick your getting things a little mixed up here, for a start Installing a Custom ROM such as MC will not root your device, the fact is you need to have the device rooted (and have a recovery image installed) before you can install it.

In fact I had my device rooted for several months on the stock Orange UK ROM.

And there was never a problem whereby you could not unlock an Orange branded phone without flashing a custom ROM, I did it on the old Orange ROM (pre-feb update).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Believe me there was a problem with some Orange ROMS and unlocking, a method employed was to root the phone, installing a Modaco Custom Rom was part of the rooting process after which you could unlock.

What happened was that it would ask for the unlock code and when you entered it, it said unlock successfull but you would get a no service message when you tried a SIM other then Orange in the phone.

After rebooting the phone the unlock message would appear again and if you entered the code again the same thing would happen.

Apparently the phone would hang with a message saying unlocking so the unlock did not actually go through despite it saying it had completed successfully.

If you do a google search you will find multiple instances where people had this problem. You can also get the no service message on a phone that has been unlocked successfully (with the 2.73.61.66 ROM for example) but that is usually because the IMEI has been blocked on some (if not all) networks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sambartle:
There were definitely Orange Heros that couldn't be unlocked without installing another ROM.. (you technically didnt need to root however)

I have one. I cant even remember which ROM it had when I bought it.. but the code I bought didn't work.. I changed to a custom ROM.. and it worked fine. (Quite a lot of unlocking sites tell you to do this)

Orange do seem to do it quite often as they apparently change the algorithm a bit.. they do it on nokias as well, as I tried to get orange to unlock one for me a few years back.. and Orange themselves couldnt unlock it as id flashed a non-orange ROM to it so the codes they generated (for a phone they supplied) didnt work any longer and it had to be reflashed by nokia first back to the orange rom.. so they could unlock it for me (i had to post it in to Oranges technical people in newcastle) and then i had to reflash it back to the ROM i wanted.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
As you quite rightly point out you did not need to flash a custom ROM, if you downgraded to one of the earliest Orange ROMs on which unlocking was possible then you could unlock successfully. The thing is the older Orange ROMs might not have been available or people just did not know which of the oldest Orange ROMs allowed unlocking so a fair few of them installed custom ROMs to get around the problem else they put the phone back on eBay. All you have to do now is install Orange ROM 2.73.61.66 as to whether future Orange ROM updates will still allow unlocking to work is another matter.

The problem was that the phone on certain Orange ROMs would hang at the "unlocking SIM" stage, it was regarded as a firmware bug and perhaps had something to do with the algorithm as you pointed out - even unlock codes provided by Orange themselves would not work.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Fame123:
Hi Nlel

I have a htc hero orange uk branded. I wanted to unlock it so i can use my o2simcard. How can i do this? and where did you buy the code for £6.50 on ebay?

Can you please provide a link if possbile?

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Its simple, first you must make sure you update to Orange ROM 2.73.61.66 which is available at http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all its the 2010/02/04 ROM update. This is needed to unlock the phone as many older ROM versions had a problem when it came to unlocking this particular brand of phone.

New phones from Orange may already have this update you can check which version you currently have in the Settings/About Phone/Status. At the moment there is no guarantee that future ROMs will still allow unlocking so its best to flash the latest (as of today) 2010/02/04 2.73.61.66 Orange ROM update to be sure.

After you have flashed the phone you can then buy an unlock code for £ 6.50 on eBay (from any seller) I used this eBay seller http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Unlock-HTC-Hero-Lock-T-Mobile-UK-/290421723982?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item439e7bd34e don`t worry that it says T-Mobile the code provided will unlock an Orange as well and in fact any brand of Hero just follow the instructions carefully. Simply insert your O2 sim and enter the unlock code provided when prompted - jobs a goodun!.

Once you have unlocked the phone it stays unlocked forever so you can flash future ROM updates without fear of it becoming locked again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Fame123:
Hi nlel

thanks for the prompt reply, really appreciated

But are you definately sure that it will work with orange uk bcz in the description it says:

***Warning: We DO NOT UNLOCK HTC HERO ON ORANGE and following Network Provider***

So does it still work?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Yes it works, the reason why they say they do not unlock Orange is because of the problems I mentioned with some older ROMS and they do not want/need comebacks from uninformed people on Orange struggling to unlock.

When you buy the code you do not actually have to tell them which network its locked to but if you do just say its an Orange phone that has been rooted, thats what I told them although it hadn`t actually been rooted just flashed to the Orange ROM 2.73.61.66 2010/02/04.

You will notice they have exceptions to the NO Orange rule in that if you ROOT the phone then they will support an Orange unlock. Rooting is no longer necessary once you flash the Orange 2.73.61.66 ROM 2010/02/04 and they do not know this.

Hope this clears up any final hesitations.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rosemolr:
what are you guys saying..i'am having a htc hero which is locked to orange.It is running on villain12.0 custom rom.is it possible to unlock the phone without buying the unlcok code from sites like unlock-now or unlock2go..?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
No, you need to buy a code but villain 12 should support unlocking as it's based on a plain unbranded rom
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
No we are not saying this - it will never be possible to unlock a HTC Hero without an unlock code (which can be bought for only £ 6.50 on eBay).

If you could find some way of generating a valid unlock code for free perhaps by using some kind of generator then maybe it would be possible to do it for free.

But at the moment I know of no way to generate a free unlock code therefore had to pay £ 6.50 for one on eBay.

We were just talking specifically about how to go about unlocking a HTC Hero on Orange using an unlock code bought from eBay.

Hi

I have had the hero for a month now which is locked to orange

i have tried various things such as Turbo Sims, codes and etc

They didnt worked out for me. i have been looking for ages for a code.

Currently i bought a unlock code for £12, however it says "Incorrect pin"

I am currently on the Villian Rom 12.

Can any 1 help

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Forgive me if I am wrong but I think your problem "incorrect pin" has nothing to do with the unlocking process failing but more to do with the PIN number associated with your SIM card.

There is usually two a PUK1 and a PUK2 mine is set to 1234 by default and I have it set so it does not prompt me for it everytime I power cycle the phone.

You have to know the correct PIN number to get past this message and you have to know it to disable it. I think its the first thing it asks for when you turn on the phone and if its asking for it then it must be unlocked successfully otherwise it would be asking for an unlock code instead.

All I needed to unlock my phone was the Orange ROM 2.73.61.66 installed on the phone and an unlock code bought for £ 6.50 on eBay it asked me for the PIN the first time and I entered 1234 then I went on to disable it, I think you have three attempts at the PIN number then you have to contact your mobile operator.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] qasi:
However i does say insert the 8 digit code!

most likely it is the unlock code coz my sim password is not that long?

Thanks In advance
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Strange, I was able to unlock after flashing the 2.73.61.66 ROM update from Orange dated 2010/02/04 from the HTC uk site. All I did was enter the unlock code when prompted and it worked first time, I have never had that message again and have been using it with my Airtel-Vodafone SIM.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] qasi:
thnks

i put the orange rom on the phone and thats y it worked, now i need to re-root the phone

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Its good to hear that the Orange ROM 2.73.61.66 dated 2010/02/04 worked for you too, you must be glad to finally have it unlocked after a month!

Strange that the villian rom did not work though as I thought rooting the phone also always allowed the phone to be unlocked but from your expierience I guess not!

Oh well you can (and will) go back to villian rom now safe in the knowledge the phone is unlocked forever...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Fame123:
Hi Nlel

Thanks alot for this, really appreciated. Just like you said it...

Worked fine when installing uk oem htc hero (Feb update). Only thing is now have to root the phone again.... lol. Anways I guess that's worth it considering the phone is unlocked to all networks now :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mtnorbeach:
I bought a HTC Hero from Ebay that was locked to Orange and rooted with CyanogenMod nightly installed on it CyanogenMod[dot] com I'm on Three network so I bought an unlock code from Ebay from Unlock Fusion for £5.25 ebay[dot]co[dot]uk/itm/190567135155?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2810wt_1141

However, although when I entered the code it said unlock successful I got no reception. Having read this thread I installed the VillainRom 12 from here: villainrom[dot]co[dot]uk/forum/showthread.php/1717-VillainROM-12.0.0-FINAL-WWE-Android-2.1-Release and the unlock code worked.

Thanks guys. I'm so glad I didn't have to go through installing the standard Orange ROM 2.73.61.66 as 1) I don't have a Windows computer as I only us Ubuntu GNU/Linux so would have be a hassle to use someone else's computer. And 2) I really didn't what the hassle of re-rooting the phone.

Going to flash with Cyanogen now :) Happy days...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] m4rk84:
Orange say they wont give you an unlock code for free but if you complain to them about their service they do. A simple email suffices.

Other than that I was running Speedmachine(2.2) and I had the problem of no signal after unlocking too. It's because you need to enter a provider code and a service code (or something like that, two codes anyway...) and froyo only asked for one code. Nandroided to tegro (2.1) and it asked me for the two codes, concurrent with peoples accounts of installing VR12 to unlock etc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunswick000:
To start i have no experience with "bricked" phones and could only assume to identify one if it just didnt work, so i could be way off here. I met a fellow who owns a Nexus One and he is trying to sell it as it no longer works. He tells me that he was preforming a firmware update, the phone "crashed" so he yanked the battery and since then he is unable to power it up. Im looking for more specifics on this to see exactly what is happening when he tries to power on. Given this info is it likely that his phone is bricked, and if so is there any way to fix it? Im inclined to think no, but would appre iate the opinions of others just like to make sure as he has offered it to me for next to nil. Thanks for any help.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
If he pulled the battery while flashing a radio image update, it is likely bricked.... but a bricked phone should power on to the static X initial boot image, and would stay there indefinitely.

Sounds like something else might be going on (battery dead/malfunctioning?), but I don't think it's officially "bricked" as much as "broken" ;)

Damn, and I was just getting used to 2.1
[Droid X Themes and Apps] aeronauticsrock:
Heres what I understand:

$30 Unlimited Data plan to the phone (as usual)

Optional $20 Wifi Tethering with 2GB cap (through Verizon App?)

When 2.2 comes out, will the built in Android Wifi hotspot be removed? Or will it work without the $20 wifi plan?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Sqube:
They have to disable it. Otherwise, who in their right mind is going to pay for something when there's software already on the phone that allows you to do it?

I guess I'll just be sticking to PdaNet. Nice try though, VZW.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] aeronauticsrock:
Yeah, darn. Hopefully the geniuses here can find some way to reenable built in wifi tethering so that vzw cant tell that its being tethered. I want wifi on my ipad :rolleyes:
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Pitnefor:
does this mean there is a high chance this phone will be un-rootable? because of http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[Droid X Themes and Apps] weedahoe:
2.2 source code may be released to the carriers but they can change it however they want to fit thier hardware and needs.

So if they want to take out the free wifi hotspot capabilities in 2.2 for the X or other devices and still charge for wifi hotspot capabilities with 2gb caps for 20 bux then guess what, they can.

PDAbnet may do wifi tethering but that is different from wifi hotspotting to multiple devices

remember that once rooted you can flash different roms and install any apps to your hearts content
[Droid X Themes and Apps] drew630:
This doesn't really have any bearing on whether the phone will be unrootable - IMO every phone is rootable, it is just a matter of finding an exploit... Hopefully this phone will be easier than the last one I had (Droid ERIS :-/)

This is not correct. The Milestone has been rooted but no access to the bootloader has been had meaning no custom Tom's.
