Like I said before, only time I ever had that problem is when I tried installing a bunch of apps at once from the Market. Never happens when I use AppManager though. But I have more than 70 and I'm not having a problem.
Those are all downloaded. And I rebooted about 3 times.
just to add evidence to this thread, I had the exact same problem twice.
The first time, I did a hard reset (after two weeks of use). The second time, when I was about to smash this damn phone against the wall, I found this thread and deleted a couple apps I was not using until I had less than 70. I rebooted the phone and BINGO! it is working again. I think I had around 75 apps when it started to give me problems.
I rarely reboot my phone, but when I did it, it was gone. It would force close almost everything. After I uninstall a couple of my apps it is back in business.
I don't know if the problem is Android or Sense, but this limitation is annoying. I don't think that 70 apps is a lot. Also, the 150mb of internal memory is a joke. If I have 16gb of memory in my SD why can't I save my apps and emails to it?? I know, there is a lot of technical explanations behind it...but that is lame anyway.
I was so happy with Android but now that I have used it for a while I am finding lots of limitations. That is sad... hope Android 2.0 is better....
Kronium, I'm not sure to what Sprint update you are referring. I have the latest firmware.
And yes, I have about 70 apps.
Yeah, the firmware update Sprint released last week. If you have it, then it didn't fix the problem. :
Apps2SD doesn't fix the problem either.
has anybody actually confirmed that this is only on the htc hero?
While I truly feel the frustration of having a limit...I really think this issue if it truly exists will only have an impact on a very small subset of users. I consider myself a power user and I only have 40-50 apps max on my phone. I had an iPhone before and while you can have 1,000,000 on your phone at once it's a complete waste since I hardly used more than 20 except the first time I launched them. The limit, if it exists sucks, but people need to chill out.
Are you really using all 70+ apps at once? Especially the ones that are free, it's very easy to uninstall them and install them when you need them. Just my 2 cents.
Yes I use 70+ apps. Especially since I have games on my phone for my children. Come on, one of the selling point of the Hero is the thousands of downloadable apps. Now we find out that you can only install 70 of those? We need to chill out? If you have less than 70 apps on your phone, you're not even close to utilizing its full potential. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE.
Anyway, an HTC rep, via email, confirmed and escalated the issue. I'll update here when I receive a new response.
And to the guy who said to just reinstall the app when you need it...you're a moron. Go return your smart phone and get a flip phone; and remember to put your helmet on.
You all need to calm down and stop blaming htc
I have no doubt watsoever that they're trying to fix the issue
But it's not as simple as that
What would the number of apps downloaded have to do with the phone creating theese problems?
Do any of you know?
Well I doubt htc does either.
But don't think they aren't working on it
