    Help visual voicemail problem

    Recently I've had 2 issues crop up with Visual Voicemail. The 1st problem was messages could hardly be heard, even with volume at max ... if I enabled the speakerphone I could hear the messages a little better but still not as loud as they'd been. The volume problem began a few months ago but...

    XDA keyboard issue

    Installed the XDA keyboard so I could access Speech-to-text input. Works great except that the "Hide Keyboard" button doesn't appear after I disabled the "Smiley Hack" per instructions I'd read. I never use smileys but often use the hide keyboard function ... help!

    weather apps

    Am looking for a weather app that works like the OLD HTC Sense app. The new weather app HTC included with v2.1 doesn't allow me to add cities that aren't in its list ... frankly I don't give a crap what the weather in Paris or Dubai is! We used to be able to input additional cities, current...

    Need help with Bluetooth

    Am new to Bluetooth and need help getting it working. I've read in many posts that the Hero has problems with Bluetooth but I'm not trying to do anything fancy here, just use a headset for calls ... it should be able to do that shouldn't it?!? A friend loaned me a headset to try (Motorola...

    SMS saved as draft

    Anyone know where the Hero is saving "draft" SMS? I had started writing a text message when an SMS came in ... I hit the back button and got an onscreen message that my SMS was "saved as a draft." Am using the HTC-supplied SMS app. Thanks.

    Need advice on Uninstalling Apps

    I'm new to Android and just got a Hero a couple weeks ago so I'm searching all the forums (and other Android sites) for useful tips. So far, I'm impressed with the Android OS, the Hero and even like HTC's Sense UI. There are some apps included with the phone that I don't want/need (ex: Sprint...

    HTC Sync failed installs

    I cannot get HTC Sync installed on my WinXP laptop. Based on all the posts I've read I'm not the only one with this problem. None of the posts seemed to have a fix and based on the comments of users who'd contacted HTC, they don't have a fix either. I don't want to beat a dead issue but how am...

    saving mms pics

    According to the User Guide included with my Hero, I'm supposed to be able to save pictures that someone sends me (via MMS) ... the guide says to "long press on the picture and then hit save on the menu that pops up." Tried that but no menu popped up and pressing the menu button didn't bring up...

    Help UI question

    A question for all you Sprint HTC Hero owners: can you customize the main screen (homepage?) on your phone? I know you can customize and add pages of icons but can any of those become the default page your phone powers up to? I'd want to remove the HTC Date-Clock-Weather banner and just have a...

    HTC Hero specs

    Anyone know a reliable source for specs on the HTC Hero that is coming to Sprint? I've seen a few pictures and some general specs in "pre reviews" but all the articles were pretty incomplete and there were some inconsistencies (example: wi-fi support?)

    Cost comparison

    I'm new member who is learning about the Android OS.... I'm currently a Sprint customer (contract fulfilled years ago) looking for a new phone. I've been unimpressed with most of Sprint's offerings. Am excited that Android-based phones may be available soon ... but what will they cost...
