Hello Hero users. This is my 1st post in this whole forum but i have read this thread completely for 5 hours now. I have a few question and i hope for some good answers.
I have a free-sim, nonbranding HERO brought from NORWAY, in april. It was up-dated when i first took it. I was waiting the Eclair for some time now mainly because i want my hero to speed up because sometimes it's a bit laggy or "low fps" to say the least
.
So, a week ago i made the FOTA update. So far so good, but after that, i start having problems, almost everything i made, the system stopped unexpectedly and i had to click "Force close" but the notification kept coming so the latest thing to do was hit shut down. After 1 week of this FOTA, my hero is running fine now, i think it needed some time to be ok with the update I guess.
Is anyone out there with this same problem after this FOTA update?
I need some tips about how to backup my data, like SMS, or settings (my apps are backed up with linda manager, my contacts are in google, and my music and pics, on sd card). Anyone who can help me with this, thanks in advance.
Also, when the update to Eclair will be ready, do I need to make a backup of my original ROM of 1.5? And, If this Eclair official release its not very stable (the taiwannese eclair has bugs) like we want to, I will be able to root my phone after I update my Hero to Eclair 2.1? (i didn't root it until now, but if this eclair is a failure, i will want to try some custom ROMs)
Because hTC will not upgrade the HERO to 2.2 ("HTC have suggested
[19] that they will not be updating the device further to version 2.2.") (i heard that this 2.2 is 450x faster) i will want to upgrade in the near future to this froyo release with the custom ROMs.
Is there a way to root the official Eclair 2.1 and i can use custom roms? Uhm, or is there a way that i can go back to 1.5 if i upgrade to eclair?
I hope i didn't bother to much with all my questions and i hope there is someone who could ask all of them. Many thanks guys.
