HTC Hero :: Upgrading It To Android 2.1?
Sep 21, 2010
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.

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 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.

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.

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?

I had just recently flashed my LG g3 back to stock and rooted it from my previous version lollipop 5.0. I had backed up system data and user apps with titanium backup. But unfortunately I cant restore my contacts because it's a different version from stock when I backed it up. And I have a custom backup with twrp. I'd like to know if I let my current version update and I loose my root so I could write down all of my contact numbers would I be able to use my twrp backup to go back to my rooted stock? And do y'all know of a stable android 5.0

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 on Verizon (SM-G900V) on the latest lollipop build (OE1). Whenever I have to switch on my phone from being powered off, it tells me "Android is Upgrading" ever since I did the latest update.

I got a SE XPERIA X8 for me and my girlfriend, in a special package from Vodafone Portugal. The site said that the 2.1 Update is available. I start using the phone and got a notification saying the update was available to make. So, I got a PC Companion, did exactly what they said and nothing, it stopped in Step 2, when I push the "Back" button and insert the USB cable. So, I researched and all, used the Update Service, still nothing, removed Anti-Viruses, Firewalls and run the computer in safe mode in networking...and nothing.

Ever since upgrading to 5.0.2 and later, when turning on my (now replaced) Z3 it would show the Sony logo, the encryption/lock animation, ask for my encryption pattern, get to the wavy boot animation screen then restart. After the restart it would go through the same process but after inputting my encryption pattern I'd come across the 'Android is upgrading/starting' screens. Meaning it would take around 10 minutes to just turn on my phone.
I thought it was just a problem that would be fixed with a reset. However, when my device was broken (insured) I was given a completely new one by my carrier which after a few days came across the exact same problem and has been doing it for over a month now. As far as I can tell it only happens after I turn on encryption but that might not be the cause at all.

I've just upgraded my x10 to 2.1 and all of my contacts are not being restored, where are they? It took 10 minutes to restore the contacts so they must be there somewhere, does anybody know where?I've tried importing them from the memory card in the phonebook options but it says that it can't read the memory card.

I used to face reboots when my X10 was still on 1.6, but I was ok with them since they happened on certain apps and not that frequent. After upgrading to android 2.1, my phone never stops rebooting. The first reboot occurred when I was using Backup and Restore app to restore my contact, SMS .... I have not even downloaded or set up any application. Then the reboot started to happen whenever I turn on my Wifi. Now whenever I am using my phone it reboots, during calls, searching contacts, installing and playing games. I tried re-installing Android 2.1 several times using PC companion and Sony Ericsson Update Service, but no use. Always the first reboot after a fresh install will be when I am restoring my data. I like the phone and was waiting for android 2.1 since September, and this is what I get, a useless phone where I can barely place a call.

After upgrading my Xperia X10 mini pro all my notes disappeared even though I did a back-up. I had(hopefully still have somewhere) a lot of important information stored there. This topic has already been issued at this as well as other forums, without any reasonable solution. My notes were stored in Notes which is an original feature of the phones software. Is it really impossible to retrieve them anyhow? Aren't there a way to wind time backwards and undo the upgrade? Where and in which format Notes files information is stored? Are they saved at the SD card?

I have a big problem with my Xperia Z3, I i am using lollipop 5.0.2 . It worked fine with no issue until yesterday when I restart my xperia z3 it just keep on restarting . I switched it off and the on again.
Now its stuck at” Android upgrading, starting apps” all the time and it keeps restarting. I have tried to soft –reset nothing is happening. I have reached at a level to lose everything in the phone especially my contacts by deciding to do a hard/factory reset but still I cant do that using volume up or down. I am totally stuck. How to get rid of this. I cant get into recovery mode coz nothing is happening when I press key combination.

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'm looking to switch to Sprint and get a new phone (currently have a BB 8120 on TMO). I'm considering the Hero, because I'd like an Android phone, but don't want to get locked into the $10/mo that Sprint charges for the Evo and all future 4G phones.My hesitation is the one that every gadget lover has - will the Hero be obsolete soon after I buy it? We already know that 2.1 is the last Android OS the Hero is going to get.
I'm probably worrying about nothing as the Hero can handle everything I envision doing with the phone - in decreasing order of importance: calls, texts, emails, web browsing, GPS, etc.Hero owners, what would you say to someone considering a 2yr relationship with the Hero?

I just got a Hero, am trying to get my hotmail, but it will not download emails. I am getting a message "Sorry! The application mail (process com.htc.andriod.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. " I called Sprint and they walked me through resetting the phone, deleting the hotmail account, and adding it again, but the same problem persists.

So I've done all the steps on how to send an MMS but when I click on the menu button to pull up attatchments its not there. I texted CS help (I'm with Cellular South) and they said that the Hero is unable to send or recieve MMS at this time and an app is being developed, yet I see all over the internet that people can send MMS so what is the deal?

I dunno if the Eris is that much better to make me stay with Verizon. The Sprint plans are just better. I really have no idea if there's any difference between the two though.
