Questions About the Sprint HTC Hero?

This is my second HTC Hero. I had my first one swapped out because I couldn't delete my text threads. When I would try to delete a thread of over 100 messages the phone would freeze and i have to restart the phone. Now my second phone does the same. I still can't delete the threads and my phone is slowing down because of it. Help! What do I do?

I just got my HTC. I'm a person that if I can't find it in the defaults then it doesn't exist. However, after reading it seems that you have to go out and customize it to suite your needs. I have two big annoyances with the phone.

1. Notification indicator. The light blinks for 5 minutes or so and shuts off. Sometimes it doesn't blink at all but I heard that I had some type of notification occur. Is there anyway to have the light continue to blink until you actually pick up the phone and unlock the screen? It kills me that once the light goes out and you pick up the screen and unlock it the light starts blinking again. At that point I can see the notification icon.

2. Text Messages: So I am used to my old phone where the ring was multiple times not simply a quick beep and such. I have messed around with the different tones but want to know if there is a way to have it "make noises" a few times or like the iphone - repeat every 5 minutes or so. I do not like having to check my phone constantly when you are in a loud environment and you can't feel the quick vibrate.

TIA.

Anyone else being driven nuts by not being able to put email into user-defined folders?
Or the lack of cut and paste?

I have had the Hero for almost 2 months now... has anyone else had a problem when someone sends them something to download and the download never works? If it comes up as a slideshow it'll work, but when you have to actually click on the download button through a text message it never works. This is getting really frustrating for me!!!! Anyone know what the deal is or how to fix it? Anyone else having these problems as well? Thanks!

I love the hero. But I'm having an issue.... I installed text-to-speech and now I receive two different application text messages.

i absolutely love the htc hero! but there's only one problem! why is that everytime i try to clear a thread in the text message inbox, my phone completely freezes up??? and when it's not frozen anymore the thread is still there....my phone has been very slow and i recieve text messages late!

I'm trying to set my hero up to sync with outlook, but it doesn't seem to install the HTC sync software on my computer. And then I can't sync my hero to outlook and such. What gives?

Does anybody know if there's any way to make the screen light up when receiving text messages? Looked throught the manual and online cant find anything. Gotta be able to see when texts come in.

Hi,
I just got the htc hero. I don't know how to set my phone up so that I have access to my email at all times. My email is XXXXXX@bellsouth.net. When I log on to my email I have to go to att.net which puts me on the yahoo webpage and that is how I log in. I was reading about some of the problems with yahoo email. Can someone tell me how to get access to a bellsouth.net email address???

thanks!

Is it possible to link my gmail account to the phone but not my contacts. For example: I have contacts in my phone now that are people I may have emailed once in my life in response to a craigslist ad... I dont want them in my phone.

I want to continue to receive my gmail but I dont want those contacts there... any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Also, is it possible for the phone to be on when I take it out of my holster or must I always hit the end key and slide my finger down?

Thank you!

I LOVE my Hero! It's fast, it's slick, and it does what I want. Mostly. It's worked flawlessly until now.

Here's my deal, I connect with my work's Exchange server via data, over air. When I first got the phone, it worked just fine, for months. Recently for some reason, it started to not update e-mail automatically, although it acts like it does. The little icon spins, the notification shows up, no "exchange sync errors", and it states the time correct for the intervals I've set it at. To get it to work, I have to manually update it. No big deal.

Then manually updating will no longer work after a few days, and I actually have to send my Exchange account an email from my gmail account, then manually update it, whereupon it finds the gmail I sent. I then delete it on the Exchange account to get it to update, and the rest of my e-mails show up. If that sounds crazy, IT IS.

When I get tired of that, I delete my account, set it up again, and it works okay for a day, will only manually update for a few days, and then will only update at all when I force it to by sending an email via gmail.

HELP! It's vital for me to keep up with what happens on my job when I'm not at work, and I have to have a more reliable set up than this. Why would it work just fine and then stop? Why would I be able to get it to work, only to have it gradually degrade?

Has anyone had problems with the Hero not disconnecting from calls, even if it said "call ended" after pressing "end call"? I've had this happen several times where the person that I just called, calls me back saying that after they hung up, they got a voicemail from me, and they could hear me talking, after I ended the call, and put the phone down. Is it just me, or do I have a problem with my Hero?
Thanks

I recently purchased a HTC Hero by Sprint. I downloaded some ringtones from the market app. I some how have duplicate listings of the same ringtone in my Ringtone List now. How do I remove a ring tone from the ringtone list.

Sincerely, Cory

So I recently had to reset my HTC Hero and lost all contact information. For some reason when your HTC Hero piles up on messages, IT IS VERY HARD TO DELETE. My Phone froze over and over again. HORRIBLE. There is not a feature that which will allow the HTC Hero delete messages every so many days. Result, the phone works slower than ever.

For sure Im looking into getting another phone, I would imagine a phone so complex would have such features for text messaging, but I guess they didnt think too much about the simple things.

Unless anyone knows if this is a feature I am unaware of??

HI I have a hero and its really slow, freezes all the time and it won't let me.delete any of my text messages...any suggestions?

I have the htc hero and for some reason everytime I try to delete my messages it freezes up and will make me choose between waiting or forcing it close, but either way it doesn't delete my messages. Is anyone else incountering this problem?

I have the htc hero when I get a message sent to me and try to down load the message it says unsucessfull. Cant figure out why never had this issue before. Any suggestions ? Not sure if I changed a setting or something please help.
