    Contacts not synching

    All of a sudden the contacts I enter on my phone do not transfer over to my gmail contact. And, vise versa, contacts I enter online with my gmail contact do not transfer to my phone. This just started. I'm wondering if I accidentally changed some setting that is inhibiting this. Any...

    gmail chat -or- text messaging

    I have an Android Hero phone. My primary email account is with gmail. Lately, I've noticed that when people try to chat with me within gmail, some of those comments come to my phone as a text message. At first I thought that was pretty cool but now it is a bit confusing because its not clear...

    ringtones and version 2.1

    I recently upgraded my HERO to version 2.1. All my contacts come from my gmail contacts. When I reassigned the ringtones to certain contacts, they do not seem to take effect. The default ringtone always plays even though a different ringtone is clearly displayed on the contact card. Is this a...

    How do I get my bookmark widget do display my bookmarks in a scrolling list instead of the grid or thumbnail format. I've tried everything and I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!

    Help phone & gmail contacts

    I noticed that when I'm on my computer and select my gmail "Contacts" that my phone contacts now appear on that list. However, when I add a new phone contact on my phone, that new contact does not appear on my gmail "Contacts" list. At first, I thought it was nice the my gmail account...

    weird icon

    Lately, I have a weird icon on my HTC Hero that I have never seen before. Above the bars there is a triangle. The Hero manual does not address this icon. It seems to be completely undocumented. Although the manual says that an "R" in this area means your phone is in "roam mode", I believe my...

    deleting calendar events

    I know you can individually select and delete calendar events, but what about all those accumulating events that have come and gone and still reside in memory? There does not seem to be any easy way to "Delete Old Events" like most phones have. It seems that ancient events continue to...

    long touch no longer works

    On my HTC Hero, when typing messages, I could always easily access characters like "?" and "!" and numerals by simply "long touching" that button. Very convenient. However, recently, that featured stopped working. I can no longer "long touch" the K-key and get a question mark like I used to...

    picture mail

    How do you send picturemail with the HTC Hero? I used to do this with my old phone all the time. You see something interesting, snap a photo, and quickly send it to a friend. With the Hero, when I select a photo, and try to "Share" it via a "Message", it always says, "Message size limit...

    *67 blocking caller ID

    I know dialing *67 blocks caller ID but I cannot figure out how to call select somebody from my contact list and, at the same time, insert *67. I realize I could edit their phone number by adding the *67 and save it. But I don't want to do that. I also realize I could manually call their number...

    disabling keypad feedback

    The HTC Hero is my first experience with a virtual keyboard. It takes some getting used to but I have adapted rather quickly - to the point that I actually like it better. The self-correcting feature is great. It catches nearly all my mistakes and fixes them on the fly. However - I don't know...

    too many rings before answering

    One thing I've noticed with my HTC Hero (Sprint) is that I have a very short period of time to answer an incoming call before the caller is directed to voice mail. When I do answer the phone people are routinely telling me that it rang 4 or more times before I answered even though, from my...

    voice dialing

    Supposedly the HTC Hero (Sprint) is capable of voice dialing but I do not see any mention of it the user manual. Does it do it? And, if so, how do you initiate it?

    notification tone

    Whenever I get a text message I always get a subtle little chime on my phone. But it is not the notification tone that I setup under "Settings". In fact, no matter what I select for a notification tone, I always get the same little chime. Isn't this configurable? If so, why will it not use the...

    email notification

    I want an audio notification for voicemail and text messages - but I would rather NOT have any audio notification for incoming email. I prefer to check email on my own and not to be constantly reminded that a new one has just arrived in my gmail INBOX. Is there any way to inhibit email...

    I accidentally saved a word into the dictionary that was a mistake. Is there any way of deleting that word once you've saved it?

    Extra digits in phone number

    I am contemplating purchasing a Hero shortly. I have looked through the user manual online to check out some of the features. One thing that I need is the ability to be able to send additional digits in a phone number. For example, for my work, I frequently have to call in to a Voice Response...
