do other people have these problems:


  • Don't recive all the texts
  • get a message and it disapears before you read it
  • at times you cant type anything into boxes, E.G. when on facebook or writing a message you can't write anything in the box and have to switch the phone off and back on to do so
  • Andriod errors pop up after doing simple tasks (process.com/adroid.mms) - just one of them
  • When you loose signal it asks you to select what network your on.
As much as i love the phone there are just always the same problems that i have with it, and its the second phone i have had. Am begining to think that it may not be as good as first thought :S

Anyone got any idea;s on how i can sort the issues out at all?
 
well i know the first 2 quite a few people are having them hence the other thread lol. but i just dont know why i keep getting the last 3, i mean i dont think im doing anything different on my phone to normal :confused:
 
oh i forgot to mention im on Orange, does anyone think i could just have been unlucky and have got 2 unlucky phones or should i try to get a new sim card and see how it works with that?
 
joeb,

Have you installed the ROM upgrade for your handset -

ROM Upgrade for HTC Hero (Orange)_2.73.61.5

This might sort out some of the issues you're having. However, when you install the upgrade, it wipes the data from your handset, so use something like MyBackup from the Android Market to copy your data to the SD card before you run the upgrade.


Chegs.
 
I had the Losing network problem, constantly losing the connection then asking me to choose a network. when I selected Orange it would either 'registerered with network' or tell me 'the sim is not compatible with this network'. I phoned Orange and they sent me a text update for my sim, the usual read/delete/turn phone off and on instruction. appears to have fixed the issue. its not happened since.
 
Orange sims seem to be quite sensitive. Mine had to be replaced as it wouldn't bring any data when I first got the hero.
It was a new sim too.

They are not all created equal - or so it would seem.

Yeah they sent me out a text update, to try and cure the problems worked for about 5 hours then started again.

Yeah mine is a new sim card on a brand new contract, when i rang to register it they said it was a PAYG number, so im kind of guessing that the sim card is not set up properly? should i ring them and ask them to send me a new one out?
