I think this should be possible, but I'll need a bit of help setting it up as I'm not yet competent with tasker. During the day I have "data enabled" most of the time because if someone sends me an email I want to be able to reply. However data enabled does cause significant battery drain and...

Just noticed that the latest amonra is at 1.7 but I think I'm using 1.6.2a Should I update? If so why? Thanks

From time to time I choose to install an app from the market, but often there are several apps which serve a similar function. Whilst reading through comments of users, as well as looking at star rating can be helpful I think it would also be useful to have a point of reference on here. I...

There are quite a few running apps on the market. The one I use a lot is speedometer which allows you to upload your runs. Whilst handy for seeing the route that you've taken and you're speed at different stages the graph it plots is distance against speed, and it would be useful to have speed...

When ever I partition the sdcard it gives the option of installing a swap partition. I know that my ubuntu installation on my laptop installs a swap partition when I installed the operating system. Would there be any benefit for installing a swap partition on the sd card?

Just spent the day trying to upgrade from villainrom 10.0 to 10.3. I tried flashing the 10.3 rom and everything seemed to be fine. Then using villainrom update i tried to download a few of the ota's. However I've done this twice now and on reboot the phone gets stuck on the reboot screen...

It's so useful to keep an eyeon your battery level, the problem is that these apps often drain battery themselves. Which ones have you found to be the best and why? Personally I've just installed batteryminder. I quite like the feature which calculates how long you have left based on your...

I'd like to have a go at rooting my phone, but I'd like to get back all my settings and apps when I do. What's the best way of backing up my phone so I can get the phone back to how I like it?

there are several camera apps because the default is not the greatest. However after playing with a couple of others I still go back to the HTC app because when all is said and done it allows me to easily vary white brightness and seems to take best pictures (as long as everything remains...

There are quite a few threads waxing lyrical about the advantages of rooting your phone, I haven't heard too many people saying why you shouldn't do it. Are there any good reasons to not root your phone? Has anyone got any horror stories of rooting their phone and having heaps of trouble. I'd...

The great thing about android is that a lot of the apps in the market are free. It's wonderful to have the opportunity to try and use so many useful/entertaining bits of software. However I also recognise that money makes the world go round and in order to support developers then those that...

I just wondered if anyone had managed to radio 5 live working on the htc hero?

It can be a bit sad showing off your new phone, but nonetheless there are a couple of apps that my friends have seen and thought were pretty cool. I want to know which apps have impressed people when you've shown them your new phone. I'd say the two that have impressed people most are Google...

I like to put my phone on silent but keep the vibrate on. Does anyone know an app that does this. I'd also like to disable the volume controls at the side of the handset because i sometimes knock this and that turns the ringtone back on. is this possible. thanks dudes

I'm not sure if this has been done before (I had a brief search and couldn't find it) but I don't see any harm in having an up to date version of this thread. We all know that battery power is an important issue with the HTC Hero. I just wondered what people had discovered in the way of apps...
