    What are the problems/quirks, etc. on the Sprint Version?

    Hello all, 1st off, I hope that I'm in the right sub forum. Samsung really needs to simplify and come out w/ a new phone moniker, lol. I'm looking at an upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G for Sprint. I've been anticipating this one and am about to pull the trigger. But before I do, I...

    Newer Titanium Backup Problem --> 1 backup. None on chosen platform

    what the heck does this even mean? I've been doing full backups for awhile, but never after doing batch backups did my apps still show the exclamation icon and this verbiage before. Running GB 2.3. I reckon they will still restore ok, but aggravating as the it's harder to discern w/...

    O.K, to format SD card if apps are on it? AOSP v.9.9.2 (Froyo)

    So... I've been getting some weird slow downs lately, a large part due to some sever slow down I'm experiencing on apps from SD card (this is most prolific at reboot and it takes a VERY long time before the phone is fully functional. I'm hoping to rectify the problem by wiping SD, but how does...

    Any AOSP or Froyo Hero'ers: How is the video recording quality?

    I was checking out the Optimus T (T-Mobile) & S (Sprint) reviews on engadget mobile, and noticed a markedly better PQ and 640x480 resolution on what seems to be an inferior sensor to the HTC Hero. Optimus T is slightly better due to LG's camera app (further validating that the Hero is crippled...

    Help HTC Sense for Facebook has been broken for some time for me...

    Last time I was running Fresh and it was fixed. I've been running NFX for some time now and just gave up on it, as it seems to always be mired in difficulty. Facebook upload sucks though because it doesn't offer a album choice. Sense Does. Can anyone point me to how to fix the latest HTC Sense...

    NFX Hero Lock Screen

    Everytime I delete the HTCLockScreen.apk (no ODEX) or install either Fresh Default Vanilla Lockscreen, or one posted over on XDA that is supposedly tuned for NFX, I get what I want: Vanilla Lockscreen, but the sliders on the top and bottom instead of the side (looks odd) and the date is so big...

    No ROM changes whatsoever to Fresh 2.4 from v2.3.3?

    This MR just seems to be a few updated apps, no changes to the ROM itself correct? I haven't been poking around here as of late as I recently moved. And my HTS Sense for Facebook has been broke for awhile now... was hoping this update would fix it, but it would seem that it's not any sort of...

    Help Camcorder on the Hero is such and underachiever...

    I swear... I almost never use camcorder on the Hero because the PQ and SQ is abysmal (and that's putting it mildly. IT SUCKS. Why on god's green earth is there not a good alternative to increase was is most certainly software and not hardware related. We need more encoding options. My only...

    ExtUSB: what's the practical value?

    I've recently read about port's ability to cary audio and video IO in addition to data (miniUSB side). What I'm wondering is what's the practical advantage. Any nifty uses of this port on Hero; maybe... different ways to display video or output audio from the Hero?

    Facebook for HTC Sense in Fresh 2.3.3 broke?

    It worked fine in 2.1.2, but I tried to set it up today in 2.3.3 (I know, I'm slow) and no matter what, the feed won't update (just blank), nor will any contacts. I really wish I could just remove it, friend stream, yada yada and just use the Facebook (non sense) w/o causing problems... anyway...

    2.1 & WiFi Tether BT PAN (or DUN) Working?

    anybody have any degree of success? i can't get a concrete answer on line if 2.1 BT stack supports PAN, but I'm guessing so if it's implemented in WiFi tether. However in 1.6. BT Tether always FCes. Only updated to 2.0+ does it not FC, but then I can never connect to it w/ Widcomm stack in XP or...

    Why does Hero lack a proximity sensor?

    Funny enough, it was the Moment's bug where proximity sensor doesn't always work as it should when you are too quick (but now I've mastered it and like it), which made me realize the Hero required pushing a button or using a hackneyed light sensor program to get the same effect. Seems strange...

    Help During phone calls, screen too sensitive; face touching screen

    anyone have this problem w/ the moment whereby your face touches the screen and causes accidentally pressed keys, things to move on screen, etc. associated w/ touching the screen? I think I remember this happening once or twice on the moment but admittedly, I don't use it much so not sure if the...

    Bluetooth Wireless Tether

    Anybody able to get PAN BT and Wireless Tether to play nice? With 1.6 Wireless Tether, I get FC every time I attempt to even use BT. But w/ newest Wireless Tether, it starts, but can never connect to PAN w/ Win 7 native BT client. Is it just a matter of running 3rd party BT stack on pc, or are...

    do custom ROMs allow firmware update?

    might be a dumb question, but I don't wanna do the fw update on my fresh 2.1.2 hero, if it's going to break root. I'm guessing not but want to be sure. thanks!
