What H3G stands for? 3G+HSDPA?

Could be the Hutchison 3G (marketed as Three UK, Ireland, Italia and so on) issue of the Hero.

It might be for Heroes supplied by 3, rather than just an unbranded Hero running on the 3 network.

New Hero Update for 3 Network.
Pulled right from twitter.
There is a software update for the Hero on 3 in the UK today. As always, keep me posted on how the update goes. ROM Upgrade for HTC Hero (H3G)
What confuses me is: Why would HTC release another 1.5 ROM(I think) when we are expecting 2.x relatively soon?
Unless we won't be seeing 2.x any time soon.

if it is an update and it's still for 1.5 than it's mostly a maintenance update to fix bugs etc. possibly preparing the hero for a 2.x update

just checked the link and its the 2.73 update, so one would assume that the 3 Hero's were running on the previous and is therefore being brought up to speed with the rest... this would most likely have been on the roadmap from the start for 3...

Threads merged to keep things tidy....
3 came late to the Hero party, so this is them catching up to Orange, T-mobile and the generic unlocked handsets. Who knows, this may mean that the 2.1 update is just around the corner now that all the official carriers are on an equal footing?

I'm on 3 UK went to the download site, as mentioned it's v:2.73.771.73. Checked my phone and it has v:2.73.771.62 CL#80033 release-keys.
Before I grab this is UK europe 1 or 2?
EDIT: Doh!! God I'm thick sometimes, it's just a download location

Just done this update.
From what I recall its the same as the one that was for the orange network posted nearly 2 weeks ago.
I do beleive this to be bug fix and general platform stability update.
I wait with baited breath for 2.1...

I have a hero on three, my last phone was an n95 with three and they have always been a bit slower than the rest with firmware updates.
I haven't done a firmware update on my hero before so have a couple of questions.
I dont mind losing data as its on a memory card, what i am bothered about is loosing my applications, does the market remember what i had installed so i can just go through my downloads list and reinstall?
Also do any of you use any backup application for settings?

Hi,
From your post, it seems you have upgraded ROM to v:2.73.771.73. Because I want to upgrade it as well. Just wonder it still keep original 3 UK's functions, like Skype for 3 etc after upgraded? Or anything should be noticed? Many thanks for your sharing. Look forward to hearing from you!

The readme file for this update says that it will delete all data on your phone. It suggests that you back it up first.
First of all, does that mean it's going to delete all the apps and contacts on the phonebook?
Secondly, if it does delete it, how would you back that up? I guess you could always painstakingingly go back and download all your apps. But backing up all your phone numbers????

It keeps all 3UK settings, wipes everything else (contacts/apps/etc...) but as long as your contacts are synced with google once you login to your google account at reboot all your contacts are synced back to the phone. The market also keeps a list of your purchased apps so you can redownload them.
The first time you launch market it should also list the free apps you downloaded (well it did for me) I downloaded some of them but when I went back to the markets later the ones I didn't re-download were gone, so I'd advise making a list of the free apps you have before upgrading or back them up with Astro.

1. My phonebook is quite different than my Google contacts. I have many phone numbers stored on my phone that are nowhere to be found on Google. I don't want to lose my entire phonebook. How can avoid this?
2. I don't recall the Market keeping track of which apps I've downloaded. In fact, many of the apps I've downloaded previously, quite accidentally, I've noticed have updates awaiting.

1. Before updating you can convert the non google contacts to google contacts and they will synced to your account
2. The fact the market is showing you that there are updates available means it IS keeping track of your apps. Apps don't auto update, market tells you if there is an update available and offers you the choice of whether to update or not.
If you have apps you don't use on your phone (accidental downloads) it's probably best To uninstall them.

I have no information on this, where did you hear that the update added a Java app?
As far as I can tell the update is a minor bug fix release
