So just got my Hero yesterday, most likely a sort lived romance before I pick up the Evo. Get to wait twelve days after it is released to make sure it is stable first.
But brand new to Android, my first smart phone since my Palm 5 back in 2003.
A couple of little minor issues I am noticing, wonder if there is anything I can do.
Shortcut to call my wife
I have a shortcut to call my wife on my main home screen. I find I always have to press it 3 - 5 times to get it to work. No other icon does this, 96% of the time they all open right up. But not this one.
Temperature Display
I love having the temperature displayed right on my home screen. I ride a motorcycle and otherwise have to always open up the netbook right before I leave to check temperature and decide which, if any jacket to wear. But my temperature is wrong. Has been stuck at 80 degrees for the last 5 hours, even though my local news sites all say the temperature is really 74 degrees. Noticed it was cooler than I expected tonight. I assumed this adjusts automatically?? Are there some settings I need to mess with.
Random dimming of screen
I notice about every 5 -10 minutes the screen will dim for a moment, then return to it's original brightness. Does this when nothing has changed in my environment. Not a huge deal, but it is a bit annoying.
Otherwise, I love this phone, even while I lust for a larger screen. And am especially grateful for hereh as I would have been clueless without all the tips I gleaned from here before I even got my phone.
