    Root ClockworkMod Recovery Version 5.0.2.2 Not Backing Up WiMax Partition.

    I realize that for Sprint HTC EVO 4G folks, Amon RA Recovery seems to be the recovery of choice. However, I have a friend who swears by ClockworkMod Recovery and I have noticed something weird about it. Version 5.0.2.2 of ClockworkMod Recovery does not seem to be backing up the WiMax partition...

    Has Anyone Else Tried Angry Birds Space?

    Yes, indeed, I have played Angry Birds Space. I tried it on my rooted Sprint HTC Hero and it actually runs, albeit, in a fairly choppy way. Of course, I tried it on a stock ROM with no overclocking. I may flash over to CyanogenMod 7.2 Release Candidate 1 and give it a try again. It took well...

    Sprint HTC Hero Gets New Features In Google Maps Version 6.2.0.

    I just installed Google Maps version 6.2.0 on my Sprint HTC Hero for fun. I noticed that it seems to have the features that only worked on much newer handsets up until now. Now, I am not 100% sure if this was implemented in Google Maps version 6.2.0, as I had not updated it for a while on my...

    Help Battery Level Drops After Going Off The Charger.

    My wife has a Sprint HTC EVO 4G that is currently stock and unrooted on Android 2.3 with HTC Sense. Lately, she has been having this issue where, once in a while, she will take the handset off the charger after it had been charging overnight and as soon as she does that the battery level drops...

    Root [CDMA] What PRI Is Everyone On?

    My friend's Sprint HTC EVO 3D is on 1.6_003 for the PRI. I have seen others with 1.5_003 and 1.24_003. What PRI are you all on and what is the latest PRI? I am talking about the PRI, and not the PRL. I guess I am asking mostly because I would like to update his PRI to the latest and greatest. I...

    Root [CDMA] Automatically Signed Up For Premium Texting Service?

    I recently helped a friend root his Sprint HTC EVO 3D using the Revolutionary method. I then flashed TWRP Recovery, but he wanted ClockworkMod Recovery, so I installed ROM Manager and flashed that for him. Oh, and I had to sideload the SuperUser .apk file as well, which I got in this thread...

    Signs Of The Times.

    I just checked over at xda-developers today and saw that the Sprint HTC Hero has been moved over to the "Legacy & Low Activity Devices" section. I know that xda-developers tried that once before last year, but a lot of people raised a stink about it because it was still a widely used handset at...

    Wi-Fi Maintains Connection But Data Cuts Out.

    I just bought a Sprint HTC EVO 3D and that is my main device now, but I am still using my Sprint HTC Hero as a personal media player and Wi-Fi device. Since I switched to the new handset, I now have the Wi-Fi turned on constantly on my Sprint HTC Hero along with it being set to Airplane Mode so...

    Help 2D/3D switch is cheap!

    I just received my Sprint HTC EVO 3D from UPS about twenty minutes ago. I looked at the box and immediately noticed that the seals were broken on it and the screen protector had been lifted. I assume that was to get the ESN or MEID so that is is assigned to me. The battery is already in the...

    Adobe Flash Player 10.1 App For ARMv6 Devices.

    I ran across this thread over at xda-developers today. It looks like someone has developed an .apk file that gets Adobe Flash Player 10.1 to work on ARMv6 devices. This should technically work on the Sprint HTC Hero. So, if anyone would like to give it a try, please have at it and report back...

    What Will You Do With Your Sprint HTC Hero After It Is Retired?

    A lot of Sprint HTC Hero owners will be shifting over to the Sprint HTC EVO 3D soon, so I figured I would create a thread asking those people what they will do with their Sprint HTC Hero handsets after they retire them from service? I asked someone this somewhere else and thought I would make it...

    The Sprint HTC Hero Has Gorilla Glass?

    I was searching around online trying to see if the upcoming Sprint HTC EVO 3D will sport Gorilla Glass. Apparently, the answer is yes, it will.

    Updating The PRI.

    Okay, so I have done some pretty extensive research on this subject, but I figured I would run it past the folks here anyway. My ultimate goal is to update my PRI, with a letter 'I' and not 'L' to the latest version. The latest version of the Sprint HTC Hero PRI is version 2.65_003 and it was...

    Verifying A Nandroid Backup.

    Does anyone know if there is a surefire way to verify that a Nandroid backup is good? Does ClockworkMod or ROM Manager offer a service to verify the integrity of the contents of the Nandroid backup's folder because I did not see anything. A friend of mine recently ran into a bout of corrupted...

    Sprint Visual Voicemail Anomalies.

    I have been having a strange issue with my Sprint Visual Voicemail. It will instruct me that a voicemail is pending because it cannot download it, so that I would have to dial in manually to get the voicemail, but it will also eventually show up in my Visual Voicemail. I can then listen to it...

    Okay, so I added a Google Voice phone number to my contacts list for the first time in GMail today, and labeled it as such. I go into my contacts on my Sprint HTC Hero after it has synced up and it calls this number "Grand Central" and I know that is what Google Voice was originally called. My...
