Just like the title says guy\gals; How do I unlock my Sprint HTC Hero?

OS-Android 2.1 with root.

I've tried Google,YouTube and a few other sites, but nothing concrete or even close.

Any help, links or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electronicmaji:
The Sprint HTC Hero uses proprietery hardware and form designed only for Sprint. Even if you could unlock it it wouldn't be of much use as it really wouldn't work on other networks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyborgNM156:
Hmmmm interesting and good to know! But there are tons of guys here in Dallas Tx. that use these HTC Hero's and put them on MetroPcs with proven, guaranteed results. With market,mms,sms,txt,net and gps everything working! So they are using some kind of skills to unlock the phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seajm:
Yea, but are the using "SPRINTS"

HTC Hero??? I would like to know as well. They say sprint will do it for you???:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jass:
when u put sim card did !!!! it ask for unlock code???

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedcayce:
Sprint doesn't use sim cards, therefore can't be unlocked.

What can be done is it can be flashed with a ROM compatible with Metro, which shouldn't be too difficult being as how you've already rooted it.

I've not seen that type of discussion here, if I were looking for how to do it and possibly a compatible rom, I'd probably check out howardforums.com in the Metro section.

Happy hunting, hope this helps.
[HD Mini General] Bright Neon:
Hi everybody..

I have been considering buying this wonderful device but during my looking into the specifications I noticed this new strange resolution 320x480 HVGA which is the first time for me to come across this type of screen!

My question is, after your experience with this device, have you encountered any problems which are due to this specific type of screen? either on the level of program compatibility, which is most important, or any other problems?

The device is just the hit for me but this screen thing is holding my hand :(

Thank you in advance..
[HD Mini General] moscard:
Yes, of course, some applications do not run, especially alternative keyboards such SlideIT.

Nevertheless most of them work just fine.

If you use specific legacy application, post a question on this forum to know if it works or if there are some alternative ones.

For example, I used in the past TomTom Collins French english dictionnary. This worked well on Diamond, but no way on HD mini. I had to change to slovoed that work fine, even if I like less the UI.
[HD Mini General] Bright Neon:
Thank you for your reply..

It's good news that MOST of the applications have no problem running on this device :)

Ok - of course there are many applications I want to make sure of before buying but some are essential and some are not so I'll ask about some programs that are of importance to me:

1) iGo for navigation

2) Navigon

3) Mobipocket Reader << this is the most important program in my Diamond right now so it has to work properly :)
[HD Mini General] Bright Neon:
No answer! :(
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
Have some patience!

iGO8- there are 2 threads on this, and there are ways to get it to work

Navigon: No idea :)

Mobipocket: No problem at all here- one of my most used programs!
[HD Mini General] Bright Neon:
Thank you NeilM :)

Well, so far so good, but need to make sure of other programs which I might mention here to make sure they work..

I just don't get it, why would HTC use such a screen? Is there any specialty that I should know about? Why not just use a WVGA or at least a normal VGA if that'll cost them much :D

Pardon me for my ignorance :o I have my history with PPCs but lately I wasn't up-to-date with the new ones :(
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
I think it is market economics. A number of Android devices also use HVGA so the same basic screen can be used across a range of phones.

Also WVGA and HVGA are both widescreen format which suits current usage patterns of video etc.

A less power hungry screen is a definite advantage in a smaller device. I don' t find the display any less usable than my HD2 in normal use, though I did need to use a registry editor to enable Cleartype, without which text is very poor; for some reason O2 have disabled the control panel for this.
[HD Mini General] Bright Neon:
The rule says: NEVER produce a perfect device :D << well, maybe it's not a disadvantage to have this screen but temporarily with the compatibility issues, it's really annoying!

Ok, I want to ask you as a user of HD MINI, how do you find the screen in terms of clarity, brightness, accuracy? How do you compare it with the Diamond's << I love that screen :cool:- I mean I understand the MINI is 3.2 inch whereas the Diamond is 2.8 inch so does this H in HVGA has a noticeable effect on the screen compared to its size?

Thank you for the information :)
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
As a previous Diamond user I have to say for me the HD Mini is much better. Obviously it is capacitive/multi touch which makes it very different in use, but the extra size makes a big difference.

OK, maybe icons and graphics are a little less definitive at the edges but it doesn't affect everyday use.

Personally I think VGA on a very small screen is pointless as text can be too small to read and web pages are very small, so HVGA is an improvement.
[HD Mini General] moscard:
It seems that will be the new trend on Windows phone 7 and ohter phones (android, Iphone).

HVGA for small and WVGA for big screens. It is effectively strange, because it is even not the same aspect ratio.
[HD Mini General] Bright Neon:
NeilM,

Of course it's better if you look at it this way; capactive/multi-touch screen, but if you look at the other side which is the definition, you'll find that:

HD MINI: 480x320 + bigger screen = less picture quality

Diamond: 480x640 + smaller screen = more picture quality

Theoretically, I prefer having smaller screen with better definition rather than bigger one with worse definition, but I wouldn't base my decision now without testing it in reality - maybe I'll like it!

And as you said before that you use mobipocket, you need bigger screen and you'll sacrifice the quality for that, but, me, the cleartype matters alot to me :)

Honestly, I see a screen with the size 3.2 inch as the best typical size for me, but, more importantly, it should have a suitable definition too :cool:

Again, H in HVGA stands for what?! I don't think it's for "high" :D
[HD Mini General] Bright Neon:
moscard

I don't think so - unless they want to go back!

I mean why not use a normal VGA, for example, for a device they think it should be a revolution in phone market?!

I might be missing something here, but is there a problem in using VGA with capactive/multi-touch screens?

Why use less resolution while you should use more!

I hate these companies!

Thank you both :)
[HD Mini General] moscard:
- H : I suppose is for Half 320 instead on 640

- I used Diamond for two years, and I prefer HD mini screen, the smaller resolution is not really an issue, but the bigger screen is really more confortable. In addition it runs a lot faster and all the things are more reactive, especitially for phone functions. The sound is better as well.

- Just a remark vs Diamond, HD mini do not have front camera anymore. For me is not an issue but it could be.
[HD Mini General] moscard:
I hope you're right, but most of companies are trying to standardise anything... screen resolution as well. What I do not understand, is why they choose two resolution with diferent aspect ratio. With same aspect ratio it would be simpler to disign software apps.
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
Yes- HVGA is Half VGA, ie 480*320

The aspect ratio of VGA and QVGA is 4:3, which is the standard 'square screen' ratio

WVGA and HVGA are 15:9 and 15:10 respectively which are near enough both the standard widescreen resolution.

There is no doubt that both increasing the screen size and decreasing the resolution should have an adverse effect on overall resolution, but my experience of the HD Mini is thta this is mitigated by the better overall quality of the screen, regardless of resolution.

Maybe if I were 20 years younger with perfect eyesight, I might have a different view!

The effect on device responsiveness using a lower resolution is marked though: 600MHz running HVGA is much faster than 524MHz running VGA ! Going back to the Diamond makes it feel so sluggish and unresponsive compared to the HD Mini and HD2.
[HD Mini General] swiss420:
Not happy with the HTC HD Mini

Just a quick feedback since I am playing around with a HTC HD Mini for a while now. Its my Girlfriends and has a broken screen so I get the chance play around until I replaced the screen. My personal experience is that this device is "horrible". Bad quality screen (I used it also before it had a broken screen :)), compatibility is very limited (Custom stuff like XDA Mods not as much bought Apps) further more the Touch sensitve buttons are horrible to accidentaly hit them. Maybe I am just spoiled with the HD2 but I feel there are allot of trade-off's for the smaller form factor. But the worst thing all the nice XDA stuff will probaly never support this resolution since its preaty much the only device with it. (Windows Mobile atleast) Tried Cookie and MaxSense Mod on the HTC Mini without luck. Resolution problems.

PS: Anyone ever found disassembly instructions for the HTC HD Mini? I can find it for any other phone but not the HD Mini. There were just not enough sold to pros. I guess a good phone for Woman and iPhone users.
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Encountered very few problems with this resolution. Especially for the newer free apps. Problems arises only in some old apps which either support only QVGA or VGA. But most certainly, you won't want to install such old apps in this shiny new colorful gadget.

For me, the Sense improvements to the UI, and WinMo 6.5.3's own improvements have eliminated my dependent on many of the old apps. I ended up installing less apps. Mostly new one i found reading thru the forums here.

Most of the only old apps i had to carry over from my old WinMo 6.1 are the dictionaries and translators. One of my favorite translators, HNHSoft Eng-Chn Dict, works poorly with HVGA resolution. Nevertheless, still usable. Fortunately, another from my old collection, WM-DICT 2.0, which worked poorly in 6.1 QVGA, turns out to be a great performer in 6.5.3 HVGA. So in reality, i lose one and win one, makes like i didn't lose anything at all.
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
I'd agree on the compatibility- almost all programs I've tried work fine. The only exceptions are TouchPal keyboard and 1-2 Remote.

1-2 Remote was poor on the HD2 as well as it's designed for QVGA and the skins are not optimised for other resolutions.

WM6.5.3 in its native form here, plus the current version of HTC Sense is a lot more stable than the native WM6.5 on the HD2 and any of the custom ROMs.

If you correctly tweak the screen (enabling Cleartype) it is very good indeed- can't understand the comment about it being poor- maybe it was faulty from the start if it failed later?

Having come from both a Diamond and HD2 I'm very satisfied with the HD Mini though I do find the screen 'touch' accuracy including the 'touch' buttons to need some getting used to. Switching the 'Touch Input' to 'Compact QUERTY' makes typing very much easier with XT9 turned on :)

[Nexus One General] cue_32:
So I had too many phones for 2 users and needed to sell whatever sells....

Of Course one of them ended up being the Nexus One (Stupid iPhone 32GB wouldn't sell). So from being the owner of 2 Nexus Ones, now I'm down to none.

If this sounds like a desperate plea... that's cause IT IS. =) I was down to using the iPhone 3GS and couldn't last more than 6 hours until I traded it for an X10.

I'm looking for a Nexus One that works for Rogers, so if you're thinking of selling yours, let me know. I'm only looking to buy local so no shipping please.

I'm located in Toronto so can meet anywhere in the GTA.

My apologies ahead of time if this needs to go to another forum.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubax83:
hi,

I've got some problems with my G1.

Recently i used CM 5.0.8 where i had some problems with calls.

From time to time my phone just mute the call so that i can't hear the other side, and vice versa.

Some times it even disconnects the whole call.

it doesn't matter if i'm calling to a cell phone, or normal phone...

I read (and thought about that already) that the call gets muted for about 5-6 seconds when a e-mail is pushed to the phone, but i'm not shute if this was evry time i got muted.. (at least one time saw that i got an email)

i tested it a few minutes ago, and after around 30 minutes of sitting and holding my normal phone, i decided to switch the phones, so i replaced my short usb cable (front panel) with my stock usb cable, because i can sit normaly while holding it with this cable. i sent a e-mail to my own g-mail account and after 5-6 seconds of no sound, i could here me saying "test, te" and then got disconnected...

anyone got ideas what this could be?

here is the relevant logcat log.

Hi,

I'm new to the G1 but got the hang of it really quick, I just transferred from the Samsung Impression. On the Impression I had free Internet and I tried it for the G1 and it worked! (You must be on T-Mobile!!)

-APN: epc.tmobile.com

-proxy: 216.155.165.050

-MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050

-MMS Port: 8080

-MMC: 310

-MNC: 260

-APN type: not set

2)REBOOT phone

3)Open up Browser and go to http://jaghax.org/tmobilex/

4)Bookmark it and begin searching.

Won't this considered as warez since you are getting a payed service for free?

I'm surprised that T-Mobile didn't stop this.
[G1 General] ezterry:
sounded more like he had data included (even if on a minimum amount) on the plan from the previous phone.. and used the same apn to use the same data access.

A) T-Mobile ignores it as the plan has some sort of data..

B) they just didn't update the billing database with the new phone detected on the network and it becomes dissabled or

C) a nasty bill will be in the mail and the data is considered al-la-carte

Regardless of ops success or failure.. if others try this be sure option b or c will be properly set up soon enough.

Well I just launch the app-idea I always had been wondering for.

It's not very hot to have it now due to roaming costs but eventually can be great.

Listen, when on holiday I always am in a place where they don't speak my language. I'm from holland and understand german, englisch and a bit french, but going to greece, spain, or marocco and my options are lost.

The biggest problem is SIGNS. I just don't get em. And it is technically absolutedly possible to just grab your phone, picture it, and let it translate it.

heck: even common signs can get special explanations, since recognising a sign is not that hard.

Google has all the tools, but no-one put it together. (Goggles, translate, GPS for a good indication of probable language, etc)

If anyone starts devving at least make it free for me :D

it can't read the letters and instead it appears like squares ..

so i was wondering if any of you guys can help me and teach me

how to add a font to the mobile so it can read arabic ...

i was searching and looking arround and i guess i found many stuff

that can help but as i said am so new into this .. and i don't know anything

If the language is zipped up, rename it update.zip pop it on the root of your SD card and either power off and down to flash it (like a new ROM) or use ROM manager to do the same thing only without having to rename it

i tried to install ROM manager before but there was some wrongs with the phone i dont know what ..

I tried now to do how you said the first time .. but i guess i understood wrong .. because my english is not that good in mobile and computer language .. so can you please try to explain more detailed?

Its unzipped and i just rename it to " update.zip" and i copied it to the SD card

and then when i pressed down and the power buttom so i got a list and i didnt understand which one to take :(

Sorry if am kinda slow in this .. but its not my field .. so could you please help me more detaild?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
its ok mate,,, follow what is says in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189

and all should be nice and clear for you

you have to read it all to understand how to use the bootloader and recovery, then with the font zipped up as update.zip on the root of the SD it should allow you to update then reboot the phone

Again failing that have another try with ROM manager, makes this process sooooooo much easier
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay5137:
mate i did it on ROM manager ... and the mobile rebooted and i got a black screen with a red question mark .. then the mobile started by it self normally .. but! the mobile is still cant read the arabic text .. i zipped the font like hw u said .. so wuts the problem? :(

Sorry I've been busy working on putting together themes for the community. You want to put the zip file on your sdcard then boot into recovery. You can boot into recovery by holding the - volume button and then power when your phone is off then choosing the appropriate options on the bootloader screen. Once you get into recovery, select the choose zip from sdcard option and find the theme.

You must be rooted in order to apply. If you don't know how to flash a zip from recovery then you may need to do more reading before modding your phone. If you need more assistance than this, please donate and I will walk through the process via gtalk or gmail. Please don't post rude comments because haven't replied for a day.
