I've noticed that with some of the higher end Sense phones, such as the Droid Incredible and Evo 4g, there are different animations when swiping down the lock screen arc. For us Hero users, when we pull down the arc, the entire lockscreen wallpaper image comes down with it. However, when...

For those of you running the leaked 2.1 for the Sprint Hero, can you tell me if there is a native task manager type of option that allows you to see all the background apps that are running? If there is such a thing, how do you access it? Does it allow you to switch between running apps? Does...

I am thinking about purchasing a MyTouch dock to use with my Sprint Hero, but I'd like to know from people who already use it. Does it fit the Hero well? Perfectly? Not at all? Is there a distinct "click" when it is plugged in, like what you feel when inserting a usb cable? Is it firm? Wobbly...

First, can we change the phone to vibrate once instead of twice when recieving an SMS? Also, is it possible to have the phone turn on its screen briefly when an SMS is recieved? I'm talking about while using the native Messages app, not with chompSMS or Handcent. Thanks

Does anyone have or know of a good charging dock that is both functionally AND aesthetically good? I've seen plenty on eBay and random accessory sites, but most of them are very square/blocky and very unnattractive. I've also heard that the MyTouch 3G dock works, but doesnt fit perfectly so...

I have noticed that the Hero's screen display is actually a bit lower than the screen on which you touch. This may be a little difficult to understand, so think of it this way. Say you have a picture framed inside of a picture frame. With the Hero, it seems like there is a bit of space in...

As we all know, theres an annoying little feature on the 1.5 Sense's browser, and that is the frequent "Retrieving Sign-In Details" message that pop-ups when launching the web browser. Now that there have been some leaked 2.1 Sense ROM's out there, can anyone clear up whether or not the coming...

So I was looking around everywhere, watching all of the few youtube videos that have been popping up showing eris with the 2.1 Sense. But NONE of them demo the browser! One of the biggest thing I am looking forward to is the new Sense's browser performance. So can someone record a video...

[ROM-DEV] 03/04/10 | CDMA Hero Eclair 2.1 v2 | NEW Eris 2.1 Base! - xda-developers Anyone try it yet? Feedback?

Well we all know that the 1.5 Sense was pretty slow and laggy at times. Is the 2.1 any faster? A lot faster? Just as slow?

So most of us can agree, when we have full bars the Hero runs pretty smooth. But when we are down to, say, 1 bar, the Hero starts to lag a lot. Is this something that occurs with ALL smartphones? I dont think iPhones, or Blackberries do that... those are the only smartphones I've played around...

***Im talking about the 2.1 Sense with the pinch-zoom in the homescreen. From the xda, perhaps? If so, could you record a video on it and show us? Or, are there any videos of the HTC Hero running the 2.1 NEW Sense? (excluding sidewise filmed initial video demonstrating the homescreen...

That's right. I have my gmail account linked to the Mail app (not the Gmail app, just didnt like UI) and it has been working fine until today. Now, the app won't retrieve mail from my account. I am looking at my mail app, and dont see the new mail that I am seeing when viewing my inbox on my...

Sometimes the touchscreen is just fine, but other times it falls in sensitivity. I find myself have to press down hard on the screen in order for it to recognize the touch. This has been the case both with or without a screen protector. Anyone else experience this? Can this be improved in any...

So I've been looking at some videos on YouTube of the new HTC Desire and Legends. I've been paying attention mostly to the Legend, because it was more similiar specs to the Hero than the Desire does. I've noticed that the new Sense seems to run very smoothly on the Legend with its 600MHz...

Well I've been using a class 6 microSDHC card, and it seems like the "Loading SD card..." time that appears when doing such things as opening albums to view pictures is still the same - several seconds. That leads me to assume that this sd loading time has a lot to do with the properties of the...

With the Droid's 2.1 update, it will be getting multitouch in the browser. So I'm assuming that stock Android browsers will be getting multitouch from 2.1 on forward. I've always been under the impression that the purpose of the Sense browser was to incorporate multitouch that was previously...

So I really want to be able to type in other languages with the Hero keyboard... my friends with iPhones can text each other in different languages, but I can only reply with english. Any idea on how to do this?

According to Wikipedia... Droid: Arm Cortex A8 600 MHz (underclocked to 550 MHz) Hero: 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7200A ARM11 processor I dont know what "underclocked" means, but nonetheless the Droid's processing is a bit higher than the Hero's. And also, I know that the Arm Cortex A8 is a better...

By us, I mean Sprint. Verizon gets Droid, Eris, and soon, Nexus One. Sprint has Hero and Moment. And though moment has a better processor, I think the Hero is still better. Since the Eris, more or less, is the same phone as Hero with some minor differences, the following statement is true...

Why, you ask? Tap the screen with your finger nails. Then tap a glass surface with your finger nails (such as a coffee table, or heck, even an iPhone screen). What do you think? I was convinced that it HAD to be glass in order for it to be capacitive. But then, I thought about the Palm Pre. The...

Smooth scrolling. That's right, do you ever think we will see smooth scrolling on our Hero? There are a lot of places where scrolling IS smooth, for example in Settings, scrolling through Facebook newsfeed, etc. But as I'm sure most of you know, scrolling through a lot of the Sense stuff can...

Let's say the user starts with a 16GB, class 6 SD card. What are the benefits of storing apps to the SD card? Does it let the phone run smoother? Does it allow you to install more apps on your phone? What are the cons? Do apps take longer to open/load? Is there a risk of damaging the SD...

Now that the Hero has been out for a good couple of months, I'm sure there are several users here that have tried out different types of full body skin protections. I have always been against Zagg because I have a friend that used one for his G1, and it started to changed colors and peel...

Here's the deal. I am seriously considering rooting my Hero to achieve one main goal: speed. I hear that rooting the Hero will let it run very smoothly and with almost zero lag. Now about my favor. Can anyone record a video of their rooted Hero so I can see exactly how fast it is? If you have...
