I've just got my HTC Hero... I was going to hold out for the HD2, but 1) There's a recession on, and 2) I played with a dummy version and whilst it's fantastic, it's very very enormous, and I have issues with the size of my equipment. (Unsightly bulges in my suit. Um...)
Isn't Hero lovely? It's the thinking person's iPhone.
Anyway, can anyone help with:
1. I'd like to sync some files with my desktop, in the same way as I could with WM My Documents. What do I need to do?
2. How can I get my MP3 ringtones to register?
3. Is there a good time-based profile application? (WM Phone Weaver was excellent.)
4. I hear Hero will support Andriod Eclair? Does anyone know when it's coming out, and what's going to be new?
Thanks for your help!
Welcome
1) If you plug in your Hero into your computer, your Hero should have a USB notification at the taskbar. Bring down the curtain and "Mount" your Hero. This will allow the computer to see it like a USB stick. Just drag the files across as you would normally.
2) Sorry - I didnt quite search around to find the post that would answer this for you, but the process was detailed by Dayzee - search around one of the stickies in the general Hero section.
3) As i came from WM, i liked time-based profiling too, however, i have failed to find an awesome one just like Phone Weaver/Phone Alarm/SPB Phone Suite etc. Locale is a FREE program on the market which suggests it can do these things - i find it a bit confusing and not useful for me. Example, I cant choose the phone to enter vibrate mode if it sees ANY appointment in my calendar, but you can select individually the appointments to switch into vibrate. To me, it was too tiresome to continuously add every appointment so that it will turn to vibrate..someone might be able to help you out here (even me!)
4) HTC have stated that Android 2.0 IS coming to Hero and they are working on it. THere are numerous thoughts on when this will be and nothing is confirmed solid yet from HTC.
btw, most of your questions could be answered if you read around the forum. There is a wealth of knowledge around this forum and even at Modaco's about our Hero. Might be best to read around first before posting. Just had a skim through this section of the forums and i could see 2 Android 2.0 threads. That would of definitely answered question number 4.

Use tone picker, you can download it in the market place. There are other apps that do the same thing but this one works fine for me.
It's also possible to select a ring tone in the original music player. When the song/ringtone is playing in the full screen app (not in the widget), press menu and there is an option to add the song as a ring tone.
Hi guys.
Sorry if i have posted in the wrong part of the forum, i have done a search but can't find the right place to post.
Just a bit of help using my new phone.
I can't figure out how to change my message tone to one i want (on my SD card),
Also i am unsure on how to forward messages on. :/
I will probably post here when i get stuck again, so really sorry if this is in the wrong place ...

Sharon, to forward a msg, long press it and options will pop up.
Regarding the ringtones and notifications, create two folders on the SDcard called ringtones and notifications, drop the files you want to use in this, post a restart it should come up in Settings-> Sounds options
Cheers,
Vikram.
P.S. a lot of the capability is stock Android so it would make sense for you to search in general android forums for answers instead of searching specific to this phone ...
Thanks for the responce I have managed to work out how to forward.
So any types of these questions i should go to an Android forum?
Sorry am new to this phone...
Thanks in advance

Is there a sent box on this phone or does it just come up with the conversation window.

SMS are based on conversations like gMail have. Some time I hate it, but many times it is most better solution that I ever seen.
About question - I think that its fine. I had same problems But I just used google.
hey guys,
sorry if this question has been asked before, but i didn't find the answer in that forum...
i bought my lg P500 yesterday, flashed to LOL 1.4.2, which is an ****in' awesome rom, but there is one thing missy : the vibrator.
in fact, the phone doesn't vibrate when receiving SMSs... and it's very annoying... do you know how to fix it?
i wanted to ask this question in te rom dev thread, but i don't have the "permission" to reply on a dev thread (that is a poor rule...)
have a good day
EDIT : i found out a solution. you have to go to the sms app, hit the menu button, parameters, and at the very bottom there is an option to tick. sorry for the inconvenience, it's the very first time a use android
hello Xda users:
First of all, thanks for such an amazing and informative forum, its great just love it, and also thanks to all devs and specially to those working on MIUI its just way to beautyful and great.
now back to my post:
im new to all this about changing FWs and software to mobilephones, im a proud owner of a Xperia X10a and last weekend with a friend of mine installed OOdie MIUI wich i think is MIUI 2.1.20 version or at least that is what the "build number" says on the About info in my phone.
my issue is that i try to set a custom ringtone for my calls but does not work, tried with other MP3 and files but nothing seems to work. also when i try to listen to music the app keeps freezing and in the worst case scenario it power off my phone.
my question is, is there any newest version of MIUI? how can i know if mine is the lastest one? and finnally, is this an known issue? its there a fix for it?
everything else is just great but i would love to have a custom ringtone with me.
Thanks in advice i hope im not breaking any rules... (i searched with no luck)
PD: Any english Failureness its my fault, its not my primary Langage, im sorry.
ok. so i changed the song on the Theme settings and not in the System settings and seems to work just fine, at first didnt work with the file i left on the ringtone folder, but worked with some other i choose.
First, I would like my first post to include a THANK YOU to all of developers. Without you guys, my phone would be as boring as sober missionary with the lights off. So once again, thank you guys.
Now onto my problem...
I have tried about 6 or 7 of the ROMs listed here in the development forums. I enjoy each one for different reasons. Today I tried [ROM][CM9HYBRID] PARANOIDANDROID UNOFFICIAL June 25th *Hammer time!! and fell in love. This is the ROM that I would love to use as a daily driver. However, I have a major problem that I don't know how to fix.
Whenever I try to play music from any music player, I get a "cannot play file type" message. The file type is mp3. I have been running, like I said earlier, 6 or 7 ROMs throughout the week and have noticed that if it isn't based off of TW, I have the same problem with the other ROMs.
I'm really a noob when it comes to things like this so I followed the noob rules and looked for an hour for an answer to my question before eventually creating this topic. I'm sure the answer is simple to some, but I'm totally lost as to what to do to get mp3 playback functionality with this ROM. Is it a codec to download? I just don't know. Thanks in advance.
And the problem was transferring the files over to my phone using airdroid. I don't know why this caused a problem but once I connected a cable and moved them over, it works. Thought I would post my solution just in case someone runs into the same issue.

OP would you please edit your thread title to say "Solved" ?
Other reasons files don't play is where you purchased them from. iTunes-bought files have DRM protection so they only play on iTunes authorized machines.
