Hey everyone I'm new here so I thought I'd get my first post out of the way
Got my HTC Hero about 2 months ago and I was loving everything about it until about a month ago problems started happening.
The first problem was that the touch screen... Mainly the bottom of it started becoming unresponsive at times. It was quite weird... It would work perfectly at times then it wouldn't. I then discovered that the only way to get the bottom of the screen to work while it was being unresponsive was to use my thumb the tips of my fingers were no longer able to do anything... stranger yet when I would be moving stuff around on my home screen using my little finger at the top of the screen I assumed that when I dragged something to the bottom it would automatically drop the item but it didn't :S I was able to use my little finger on the bottom of the screen perfectly but as soon as I let go of the item I could no longer grab it back with my little finger and I had to use my thumb :S I assumed it was a software problem rather than a hardware one because the screen would still work at times or when I was doing particular things ( and I've tried recalibrating it with no success ) I upgraded the ROM completely wiping the phone and still nothing. Another really strange thing that happens every now and again (but not since I upgraded the ROM) I'll be using the home screen and the whole screen won't work when I touch it but it will when I hover my finger over it :S what i mean is I can select things by simply hovering my finger over them... It's sooo weird
The second big problem I've come across arose yesterday. The screen orientation had worked flawlessly until yesterday. I was in messages and I flipped the screen to side to get the bigger screen.... I typed my message and sent it but when I went to flip it back it wouldn't :S I tried recalibrating but it just won't work....
There has been several other little problems like this but I can't remember them atm.... Any help guys... Has anyone else experienced this? Should I just get it changed for a brand new one??
If you need any more details guys just help. Thanks
