I just received an SMS from Sprint: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=75&cat=2&dl_id=73
The software upgrade posted below provides several key enhancements for your Mogul:
1. Upgrades the operating system from Windows Mobile® 6.0 Professional to Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional
2. Adds Sprint TV
Did you look at the date?
This rom has been around for a while now.
doh, I didn't realize that.
Well, at least we know Sprint is advertising it now.

Beware if you use WMWifiRouter. This rom does not allow you to share internet through Sprint PCS. It only allows the Phone as modem option. I would just use DCD 3.2.6. It blows that rom away.
Does anyone know if its possible with this phone? In the past its been done on other HTC phones (the mogul for one)...
I'd really like the touch pro on verizon, but their version of the phone is crippled...
Thanks
Here is the thread i used over at PPCgeeks to get a sprint TP working on VZW

Have fun =)
Does anyone know if there will be a ROM update for the HTC Hero that is available from Hutchinson 3 UK?
Thanks
Presumably yes but HTC Hero 3 branded is very new at the time of writing so we will have to wait. It is basically same thing as eg Orange or T Mobile with there own spash screen and perhaps home page. There may be Planet 3 , I dont know , only 3 users can tell us here.
3 Branded
I have 3's HTC Hero. There is no splash screen or any branding apart from 2 shortcuts on the homescreen(which you can easily remove) to Planet3 and 3favourites. Does anyone know whhther 3's Hero is running the latest version of HTC's Sense or is it still running the first version?
Thank you for info.
You can check that by going to settings>> scroll down>> About phone or something like that.
I think this thread should have been placed in General section.
Software Version
My software version is 1.0.0.A6288 or something like that. What is the latest one?
Don't look at the software version - look at the build number. If it starts 2.73, you are effectively on the latest firmware.

@yusufdaud - did you get any specific software for 3 network by any chance? (ie skype, msn or anything)?
3 Software
Didn't come with Skype or WLM preinstalled. According to Three's website it should have Skype out of the box though.
WLM to be launched soon according to three portal which will also be totally free like skype.
I think other network subscribers are going to be jealous
@yusufdaud - can you confirm the firmware number on your hero? Thanks
I am having some major issues with this.
I bought a Hero from Amazon last month, not knowing that it would be packaged and released by Three Uk, so essentially I have setup everything : I now have internet etc.
I am a Three user however, so when I called the Customer Support (HA!) line they said I should be able to install the skype client once they release their packaged phone this month.
I was able to install the skype client this morning, which, as it was on my old 3 phone, worked perfectly with using any of my minutes.
The issue I know have is that it does not put the phone back to sleep, even after I removed the installation and power cycled my phone... it is awake 100% of the time even after skype has been removed and my power usage has suffered as a result.
Does anyone have any ideas how to remedy this? I am a complete noob when it comes to this :<
Firmware
Firmware Version - 1.5
Build Number - 2.73.771.62
Software Version - 1.0.0.A6288
Thanks yusufdaud - Seems like 3 UK ship the Hero with the latest version of the firmware
Unlock
Anyone know anyway to unlock 3's Hero? I called Three yesterday night and they told me I couldn't get a code from then until the contract finishes.
yusufdaud:
when some calls you on Skype, does it show the contact who is calling?
i bought my Hero before it was released on 3 and downloaded the official Skype client via Planet 3 but mine always says "Skype Service" instead of the person who is calling. a guy in the Richmond shop told me if i had bought the handset from 3 it would work properly. sounds like nonsense to me.
I have unbranded Hero from yesterday and before that an unlocked orange branded. Both worked very well with Skype on 3. Including caller ID.
Is it related to radio rom? You can update radio easily on rooted one but not sure about "virgin" Hero.
I actually updated the radio before Skype on 3 was released. My radio version is 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08 - I just tried updating it to 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22 and had some interesting results. Now Skype won't work at all - i get a message saying "Skype couldn't connect over your phone connection." (tried uninstalling and re-installing too but that made no difference.)
However, it's the first time i've ever seen all four bars on my signal so that at least is a slight improvement.
Don't know why it wasn't connecting before but it is now. However, it's still not showing the caller.
@Lord Lucan
Can you tell me your Rom and Radio versions please? I tried a 2.73.405.38 rooted ROM (the HTC Generic one) off MoDaCo but still didn't get caller id.
Thanks.
skype on 3 is still in beta testing for HTC hero. both msn live and skype need to be downloaded to the phone from planet 3.
Is it possible to extract the TMOBILE TV app from the HD7 and made to work on the TMOBILE HD2. if so, can someone cab it up for us, as the MOBITV app is so unattractive.
HD7 uses a completely different operating system, which is not compatible with WM6.5 in any way.
Thus, sorry but I don't think it can be done - at least without extreme effort.
what about reskinning the mobitv app, is that possible? and if so, can it ber made to look like the tmobile tv app?
Hey there, so I recently had my HTC Radar replaced from a launch model, I used to use tethering on it fine without paying, and without logging in. Now however on this new replacement, I get the upsell screen from T-Mobile about adding WiFi hotspot on my plan. Can I get some samples of anyone's versions to see if mine is any different? Thanks.
Software version 7.10 (8773)
Radio: 2.16.0.D4
Radio Software: 17.5006.08.27_17.08.50.306U
Hardware revision: 0002
Firmware revision: 1750.0602.40602.531
Apparently their starting to do this to everyone. I've been seeing this in the SGS2 forums also. I haven't tried, but some have been successful in calling TMobile if you have at least the 2GB plan getting them to add it for free. Good luck!
