I have a CDMA Hero with Cellular South (a regional carrier in MS, AL & FL). They have been generally pretty slow to provide updates and currently have only released Android 2.1 for this device. I was hoping that they would eventually provide a 2.2 update, as I understand that this would allow some applications to be moved to the flash card. Right now, the limitations of being able to store applications on only the phone memory is fairly constraining and makes the decision of whether to install or not install an app pretty tough.
I have been recently told that Cellular South does not intend to update this phone to 2.2, so it will be stuck forever on 2.1 (unless I install a 3rd party update). why this phone would not be updated to 2.2. Has HTC just decided to not support it any longer? If so, I've bought my last HTC phone.
I would like to know how can I update my android 1.6 to android 2.0? I have been using these phone for less than 1 month and I still don't have the idea how to update it..
Does anyone know how to get voice to text on the Hero 2.1? Under settings, there is something that says "text to speech" but I don't know how to get it to work.Also a major problem I have is that you can't jump through the address book/people by selecting a letter, you have to manually scroll through the entire address book to get to a phone number or contact that you want. Do anyone know a way around this?
Does any know what profiles the CDMA version of the hero supports? I see that the gsm version supports SPP but does the CMDA version support it? I'm trying to decided betweent he hero and the samsung moment but I need support for a bluetooth keyboard (either HID or SPP). If they hero doesn't have SPP support does anyone know where I can find a profile for it? I see I can add HID support here (possibly).
is there a broadband hack to use your clearwire internet for your cell phone like you would if you had cricket, if so how would i go about doing it? i want 4G speeds on my hero.
I have a HTC Hero on the regional carrier, Cellular South. For some time I've been using the WiFi, which comes in particularly handy in those places I visit where I can't get a cellular signal. Recently the WiFi just stopped working. It's turned on, it just does not work. I've uninstalled a number of applications, rebooted the phone and took it in to the Cellular South store, where the Hero expert looked at it. Their suggestion was a hard reset, which would wipe out everything on the phone. It would all have to be reloaded afterward. The suggestion came with no guarantee and they said that it might have to be replaced if the reset did not cure the problem. I've experienced other problems with the Hero falling back to "base Android" when the HTC Sense application got set to not autostart. This probably due to interaction with some downloaded application.
My question is if anyone else has experienced WiFi not working and knows of any non-destructive fixes for the problem? (e.g. look for a particular program that needs to be restarted)
after using htc hero for 2 months, i tell you right now the biggest problem is that the cpu is not fast enough to run android, with senseUI with its 7 screens.occosionally, IF I haven't restarted it in a long time, The phone will lag so slow that after having pressed something on the screen, it will lag and then capture the movement seconds afterwards.
I have downloaded the ROM upgrade to set my phone to Android 2.1. I have also downloaded the latest HTC Sync software.i have no problem 'syncing' my phone with my PC (Windows 7) and the connection is fine. Until, I open the ROM upgrade software on my PC. When I get to the first window warning me the upgrade will delete all info from my phone and asking me to open the Readme, the connection always drops out. Therefore, the PC cannot start updating the phone.
I have a problem, I cant log in to the android market because my google account that is linked to it is deleted, I can�t add a new account or change it for some reason, I get an error when I try that. Is there any fix for this?
I just got an HTC Hero. My old phone was the HTC Touch which is a Windows Mobile phone, and I'm wondering how I can transfer my contacts/address book from the HTC Touch to my new Hero.
Does anyone know any good HTC Hero/ Adroid Themes. I love my blackerry, but the default theme is a little meh. One of the things I like about the Hero and Android Phones is the UI, so if you know any free/ pretty cheap themes please post the OTA.
i recently bought a refurbished hero and want to update to 2.1 but i am having problems doing it.there is not a option on the phone to update and i cant seem to update when i connect to my laptop running windows 7, the laptop doesn't recordnise the phone for me to update it.
I was updating my Orange ROM from the HTC site to the most updated one using windows 7 and it needed to install a driver to my pc for the phone halfway through. After this it stopped updating and told me i needed to reset my pc, i did this and afterwards the update stopped running, i hate to reset my phone and reinstate factory settings to get it to work.
I'm about to compress a lot of short videos for mobile phones that will be online. First i compressed as .mp4 (H.264/AAC) which worked fine on iPhone, worked ok on a SE-X1 (needed to load whole movie before it could play), the Hero couldn't recognize the file at all.
The info page for Hero says it handles mpeg-4 (H.263 and H.264) and MP3/AAC.Is it just the .mp4 container that the Hero doesn't like?Does anyone know what format that would be best for video on the net to work on most phones?

I can not update my ray and that the update to Android 4.0.4 is available for my number if from there 5 days, anyone has the same problem??? My number is 1252-1255, i think it corresponds to a ray of the Spanish region.
I just picked up the GW620 for my wife (it's our first Android device) and being the tinkerer that I am, looked into the rooting situation for it.I wasn't aware that Android 1.5 was lacking quite a lot of the features of 1.6 and 2.0 but I was hoping there would be an update from Rogers.
I just contacted LG's live chat support and he said that there wouldn't be an update for the GW620 as it's a combination of Android and S-Class.Would it be possible to update to 1.6 via other methods?
Considering buying one of these, either this or the ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco in UK). The Orange San Francisco is cheaper and has a bigger screen with more resolution, but the Wildfire looks more solid. Can I put 2.2 or 2.3 on it though?
Currently my android v 2.3.4 and Build version 4. How can i update android v4. Android v4 is available now? If it is how can i update? When i updating is it losse my existing data?
I have been trying to update my x10 from 1.6 to 2.1, however even when i follow the videos which have been posted i cannot for the life of me work out how to get it to update to 2.1. It just keeps saying that it has the most up to date software and thats it, and my phone hasn't updated!
I have just brought a Xperia X8. I am trying to upgrade it to Android 2.1 from 1.6. Both Pc companion and Update services both say my phone is up to date.
I have purchased my HTC Wildfire about a year ago from Bangladesh. It is made in Taiwan, shipped from Singapore and most probably made for Germany. My system software version is 2.1-update 1. I know 2.2 FOTA is available. Few of my friends have got it during January. But I haven't got any automatically. Even when I check manually, it says "No updates are available". I have tried (1) Soft reset by removing the battery for couple of minutes (2) changing the date forward & backward (3) Factory (hard) reset, (4) Through both mobile network and wi-fi ...but failed.
Everytime that i try to use the Android market it comes up "Sorry! The application market (process.com.vending) has stopped unexpectedly."And now that i have tried to update the phone to the latest software it wont let me
Okay, so I have received my Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 today, and I just looked and it has really old firmware as for a 1.6 OS. Okay, I called Customer Support, and they told me that the Firmware isn't released for US AT&T yet, and they are currently working on it. Well I WANT IT NOW, i mean i have seen firmware 2.1 and it seems legit and I don't want to do a generic or flash(or whatever its called) because I don't wanna mess up my phone. and then not be able to download the actual firmware, or crash my phone and break it ya know? Someone make me feel better about all this because its an amazing phone!
