    What's the best "lost phone locator"app?

    I know someone who has lost their phone twice in a month. I want to help them install an app that will help them locate the phone if it's lost, and wipe it remotely if necessary. I know of several, but was wondering if anyone here had a recommendation? Thanks,

    What is the new upgrade policy?

    I seem to recall that Sprint has changed their upgrade policy (in April?). Can anyone tell me what the new policy is? I seem to recall, that I cant get an upgrade every year anymore, but I don't remember what the details are. Thanks

    I have Angry Birds on my EVO, and wanted to download it on my daughter's Intercept, but when I search the Android Market on her phone, it doesn't show up. Has anyone else been able to find Rovio's Angry Birds on the Android Market on their Samsung Intercept?

    No 4g in my subdivision, who to complain to?

    I wanted to get an EVO but it appears from Sprints coverage map that my subdivision is an island of 3G in a sea of 4g coverage. I woul love for them to put up a 4g tower to add 4g coverage in my immediate area. Who can I call or email to complain?

    What About the $30 Mobile Hot Spot Fee?

    OK, not a question about the $10 premium data fee (I promise). My question is, if I bought an EVO and wanted the mobile hot spot feature (at least until I'm comfortable rooting the EVO), they would charge me an additional $29.99. Can I cancel only that feature (and the $29.99 charge) at any...

    AOL Stopped Syncing

    I have had the Hero since October 9 and never had a problem syncing my AOL email with my Hero. I have had it set to sync every 15 minutes and all worked well. About a week ago I started noticing issues with not getting my messages consistently and I started seeing a message below the emails...

    anyone else experiencing faster battery drain after the update?

    After updating my Hero the other day I have noticed a marked decrease in battery life. This started the very next day after updating my hero. Right now I'm at 41% of battery life left after unplugging from the charger about 9 hours ago. For the past few weeks, I have been around 65%-70% at this...

    Any video of a rooted hero in operation?

    Has there been a video of a rooted hero being displayed for it's performance? I'd really be interested in seeing how much quicker it actually is. I'd be interested in rooting my phone, but only if it would give me a significant improvement. If it's only marginal, I'd rather not take the chance...

    I went to make a call today when I felt a scratch on my thumb as I was picking up my Hero. It seems that the chrome colored trim that surrounds the mini usb charging port is cracked. I haven't dropped the phone nor had any incident that would lead me to think it could have been damaged, but here...

    Chompsms, mms?

    Is there a way to receive pictures from Chomp SMS? I had this set as my default text app (due to battery issues with the stock message app). I was sent a photo attached to a text message but it said that the mms did not down load. I couldn't figure out how to view it so I had to go into the...

    Pac-Man free?

    I noticed on the android.com website under the market section they list a bunch of the free and paid apps and games. It lists Pac-Man as one of the "Top Free" Games. When I actually look on the Marketplace with my Hero, I see a Pac-Man for $6.99, not free. OK, I figured that maybe it used...

    Uninstalled Apps Take Up Memory?

    I've down loaded quite a few apps that I have since uninstalled. I noticed that they are still listed on the My Downloads list with an option to reinstall. My question is, are these apps gone or are they still taking up some of the precious memory? If they are, is there a way to free upmore...

    Anyone else already planning their 'Scenes"?

    I have started forming (in my head at least) some basic "scenes" for my Hero, but i was wondering if anyone had already done this and if so, would you mind sharing what you have in mind as far as how you plan to categorize and organize your scenes? I'm thinking of having scenes for Work, Home...

    Task manager?

    I saw a Hero video on You Tube, and it looked like there were always apps running in the background (web browser etc). Does the Sprint HTC Hero have a Task Manager Application to close those apps out when you're done or do you need to down load one?
