Well i turned on the location feature and now its working fine.. ANy idea what one has to do with the other??? And wont this eat up my battery
There is an audio loss issue with the Hero. Appaently it is happening to you. You can reboot your phone (shut it off and turn it back on) and that usually works to fix it. Since you upgraded with the official 2.1, though, I would take it to sprint and tell them that you want a new phone, for safety reasons. Who knows when it will happen, and if the audio goes out during an emergency, then what? Those of us who rooted have a fix for it, but if you aren't rooted, it won't work for you. Good luck, hope you can get it straightened out.
Dunno if you have resolved the issue or not yet just wanted to let you know that as of Thursday I had this same exact issue. Thursday night I updated to firmware 2.1 and the following morning I was no longer able to receive calls. Texts were also not working, i could call out and still access the internet. Frustrated all day I finally called Sprint Customer service and after about an hour of trying everything to fix it, we finally had to do a factory reset on the Hero. After that it hasn't had any issues since. So my suggestion is to simply call them up and have them walk you through a factory reset. Hope this helps, let me know how it turns out
Bluetooth Issue: After the update, I am experiencing frequent issues with BT in my car ( 2010 M35 ). It pairs OK with my car, but most times the call just doesn't connect - either incoming/or outgoing. I have tried deleting the phone and re-installing...but, no luck. Prior to the update, I had no issues with BT connectivity with my car's system, so this issue is definitely related to the upgrade.
Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but I have a serious lag on making calls. When I click the person's name it takes about 7-10 seconds before it will actually call, plus the connect time.
you can always do a hard reset using your PRI code.... call up sprint and ask them for the PRI code...or have them guide you..that should fix your problem...
called sprint and did a hard reset i seem to be able to hear at least now although i am not getting teh calls til teh 3rd or 4th ring. i will give it til friday if i start dropping audio i guess i will head into the store.. I just hate the hassel of that.. thanks everyone
well i have tried everything and it all seems to work for 2 maybe 3 calls then the audio drops out again.. I am so frustraited at this point. I never woudl have thought a update woudl totally ruin a phone but it has..
Now, I guess we know why they update release took so long in the testing phase with Sprint!!! BUT, They still cant get it right!! They should have put a warning on it.
Just wanted to update everyone.. I went into the sprint store today. They tried updating the phone from their end.. Again it worked and seemed to be great. So i left with them saying if it didnt fix it they woudl order me a new phone. Well i got home started putting my apps on and kept testing my phone on and off. still working. finally i decided to sync facebook then tried calling out.. One ring then dead silence but still ringing on the others persons phone and once connected still dead silence.. Tried this off and on for an hour before deciding to start uninstalling apps. After about the 3rd one and it not working i said hmm facebook is the last thing i did.. So i unsyced and still not working.. Took the battery out and so far the phone is working again.. all calls going threw so if you have no audio please try this.. Hope it helps someone else...
