Hey guys and gals, I have been looking around these forums, and I must say that a lot of things are very helpful here. I do wish that in the App Sticky that there were some more US only apps, but that isn't that big of a deal.
My question though is about my own Hero.
1) I recently acquired this phone on christmas, already activated and what not, but sometimes when I am browsing through the market place or on the homepage, the Data connection just stops working. If I go in and look at the status, it says it is searching for a connection. Why? It was just connected. Is this a common problem, or should I go to Sprint and ask them why I keep getting Data dropped.
2) I saw something about the Beautiful Widgets Application. Now, I know that the Main Flip Clock/Weather Application is known to drain the battery, does this Beautiful Widgets App do the same thing basically? If it does, what other applications would you guys recommend for it? I have disabled the flip clock, but I still use the default Weather Application, as I like to know what phase the moon is in, and The Weather Channel Application does not provide me that information.
3) When I search for the Beautiful Widgets Application in the market place, it says it finds 5 results but then does not list any. Is there a reason for this? Is this because of limitations on hardware, location, carrier, etc?
4)My battery. Now, due to the fact that I have only had this a couple days, I can't be 100% sure on what my actual battery life will be like once I finish trying to customize every bit of it I can. Is there any other things that can help improve the battery life other then the Tricks thread here?
5) Is there any application that is free that can automatically disable applications at start-up/boot. I know I saw one, however that wasn't free and cost 5 dollars. In my opinion, not worth it.
6) What Task Killers would you recommend? As I have been seeing mixed reviews and results with different ones. Some not picking up programs running in the background, etc.
7) Are the cases that the Sprint Store sells bad? I ask this because the heat seems to hold when I have my Bodyglove case on. If I use the same idea that a phone is a computer, and heat is not good for computers when the heat exceeds the Temperature limit, wouldn't this be bad?
I prolly will have a bit more questions, but, for now, these were my biggest concerns. Thanks you guys.
