Found this forum searching Google to buy a stronger battery because of the voracious battery drain of this of my new Sprint HTC Hero. Saw this thread, and have now joined the forums, and implemented the suggestions, in this thread. Using Handcent etc., and the phone is now sleeping. Thanks to all for the temporary solution until the OS is upgraded and hopefully fixes this problem.
Other than this small problem, I am having a great time getting familiar with this phone. It's my first PDA/Smartphone, and I realize this is really a computer that makes phone calls! I had been considering the iPhone, but have been a Sprint customer for a long time, and didn't want to switch over to AT&T. Plus, I like the fact that the HTC Hero has a removable battery, and expandable memory, plus the ability for anyone to write programs and share them.
Every phone or product will have it's pluses and minuses, but overall I'm having fun hooking into 21st century phone technology, and being able to share texts, photos etc. with family and friends. I'm looking forward to reading this forum on a regular basis, and utilizing all the tips, tricks, and programs I find here. All you contributors, and Admins rock!
