    Clearly the moderator has thrown his toys out the pram over my last post and deleted it. I would be grateful if the same person could delete my account - I can't see the option anywhere. Thanks

    UK people:

    If I can sell it now I will, otherwise I'll persevere with it. Anyone tempted? If so I'm in Birmingham. Cash only. It's locked to Orange UK but it's got a Rebel Sim. Only had it about a fortnight. Put screen protector on (screen mint) and in case as soon as I got it. It's rooted, on...

    Root 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 radio

    Just flashed this new radio. Seems to be better than the IU previous version. Now getting 3G in my bedroom all the time in my bedroom as opposed to only occasionally. Strangely I seem to be getting fewer bars on my phone but calls still seem to be OK. Hope it's not to the detriment of call...

    Root Nandroid backup - danger of brickage?

    I'm well aware of brickage dangers whilst flashing but is the nandroid backup feature dangerous? I wouldn't have thought so as it is just copying everything to the SD card and no settings are being changed?

    Root Spl wtf?

    Could somebody read this, tranlsate into English, and tell me why this is significant: [GSM] 24/11 - Finally, an unlocked SPL for Hero! - Android @ MoDaCo Lots of acronyms. Not sure what the difference between CID and SIM locks are. If it means I can unlock my hero I'm a happy chappy...

    Root Goldcard unlock with stock 2gb card?

    Got a rebel sim but I now want it properly unlocked from Orange UK. Followed the procedure to the letter from here: How To: Root Your MyTouch 3G (GoldCard Method) | The Unlockr with the exception of using an SD card reader and perhaps, not surprisingly, it wouldn't work (kept wanting to format...

    A poor man's iPhone at the end of the day...

    I must have had my Hero for a couple of weeks now. On the whole it's valiantly fought above its weight but as someone else said almost everything it does it doesn't quite get right - I'm pained to say. Only this evening I was with some mates watching a top gear episode. On it there was a...

    .pls player

    I'm trying to listen to Dubstep FM - an online radio station. The options are: Browser iTunes / Winamp iPhone Real Media Windows Media Live Video Can't get any of the above to work. I need something that will start playing a .pls file. When I open it the only option is either my Linda file...

    Weird screen response (or lack of)

    I'm getting used to the touch screen but it doesn't half stress me at times. (My fat Lincolnshire sausage fingers certainly don't help) I often struggle with the keys on the edge of the screen. I don't know why that would be. Oh, and the most strange phenomenon is when a left hand finger...

    Recommendations for a cover

    There's loads on ebay. Anyone recommend a good silicone one? It'd annoy me if I got one which was crap i.e. couldn't press buttons easily. I take it screen protectors don't affect the capacative screen too much?

    Firmware update

    Another opportunity to make a total arse out of myself again... I'm on firmware 1.5. My kernel (what on Earth is that when it's at home) is 2.6.27 How do I update the firmware? I'm not a complete noob - all is not lost, I have rooted it and I have tried other ROMs. (At least I thought I had...

    Beebplayer woes

    Just to cement my reputation on here as a moaner :p, anyone else having trouble with Beebplayer. Almost unusable on Wifi. Crashing, pausing, and what a bad audio sync problem! Real shame. I wonder if the developer has tried it on a Hero?

    HTC Hero - what a mistake

    Oh dear. Decided to take a risk and opted for the Hero. Not impressed so far. The mp3 sound quality -awful. Just before tracks start to play there's this whooshing sound like a CD player finding a track. You can also hear it in quiet pieces of music. I tell you it's almost a dealbreaker. Ipod...
