    Does HTC Sync work with Outlook 2010 or 2007?

    Hi, I've got a Windows 7 laptop with Outlook 2010 beta on it. Loving 2010, but HTC Sync doesn't seem to want to work with it. I've asked HTC, and they say it don't work with 2010. If anybody knows a way of making it work with 2010, please help! Alternatively, I'm considering buying Outlook...

    Android in car?

    Hi all, I don't know if I've missed something, but wouldn't it make sense to start making in-car entertainment systems that run on Android? I've read about some tawaiinese car manufacturer that I've never heard of using Android in-car, but it sounded like a cut-down version. What I'd like...

    Standard browser much slower than Opera Mini beta. Is this normal?

    I'm finding that the standard browser is way slower when navigating than the Opera Mini beta. Same thing over wifi and mobile. We're talking about 30 seconds in standard browser compared to about 1 second in Opera. What's that about? Is everybody else finding the same thing? It's annoying...

    Changing the default browser?

    Hi, I've been trying the Opera Mini 5 beta, and I'm loving it so far. Particularly the fact that it's so much faster than the standard browser. So, my question is... Is it possible to change the "default" browser? That is, in some apps I have the option of "viewing in browser", but these...

    Is my Hero "branded"?

    Hi, I got my HTC Hero on a Vodafone contract, meaning that the handset was free, based on a 24-month contract. I keep reading on here about people who's Hero is "branded", such as by Orange, etc. I'm interested in this, as I'm wondering what happens when 2.1 becomes available. I got the...

    My battery is draining fast, awake time high, but nothing keeping it awake!

    Hi, Please help!!! Before everybody redirects me to the standard "ways to extend your battery life" threads, I believe I've tried all the usual tricks, which is why I'm posting another thread. This is really starting to drive me nuts. Up until a few weeks ago, I was getting good battery...

    Wifi really annoying me now - can I get a replacement handset?

    I know there are numerous threads on here about dodgy wifi, but I think mine is a more unusual problem then most are finding. My problem is that wifi stays connected all time when it should do, but using apps that download data are all unreliable. Nearly every time I want to download...

    Getting really annoyed now. What is this network error?!?!?

    This is really annoying me now... Ever since I've had my HTC Hero, the internet connection has been really flaky. That is, about half the time it works ok, but with a slow start, and the other half it doesn't work at all, and comes up with either a "cannot find page" in the browser, or "a...

    "Slow" internet symptom - is this normal?

    Hi all, I'm finding that when I browse to a webpage on any site, using the default Hero browser, that most of the time the progress bar sticks at about 10% for a good few seconds (say 5-10) and then either starts loading the page, or fails with a "page not found" type page. It does it on...

    Does the RC E100 totally work with the Hero?

    Hi, I like the headphones that you get free with the Hero, because of the controller half way down the wire that lets you play, pause, skip forward and backward without having to turn the phone's screen on. But, I find the actual earbuds don't fit too well in my ears and so are...

    Internet/data connection a bit iffy?

    Hi, I've had a Hero for a few weeks now, and while most things are great, I'm finding the internet connection very unreliable. For example, if I try to use the browser to view a website, often it says it can't find the page, even for www.google.com, and this is using a bookmark so I know...

    An app for copying files from my networked PC?

    Hi, I'd like to be able to copy files from a PC on my wireless network, to my SD card, without having to connect my phone (HTC Hero) to my laptop via a cable. I've found Estrongs' ES File Explorer, but I can't manage to get the connection setup via the "add server" thing. No matter what...

    Why are so many threads getting closed on here?

    Hi, I know I'm probably asking for trouble by questioning the management 'round here, but why are so many threads getting closed on this forum? I've only been on here a few days, and being a new Android owner, and having never visited this forum before, I asked a question about something...
