hi guys,
i've just ordered a htc hero on orange and i have 7 days to try it. I will receive it on tuesday, so whilst i'm waiting i have many questions that i would like help with. My computer knowledge is good, but with mobiles i'm almost useless, so apologies if i end up asking questions which may sound pretty straightforward to many of you.
1. The hero will come with orange firmware, but i assume its a lot slower than custom firmwares, so what is the latest and the best known firmware at the moment and what is the procedure on installing it?
2. Since I have 7 days to test out the phone, i want to try it with the latest firmware, but i'm nervous and i want to play it safe and need to protect the original orange firmware, so what is involved in making a FULL BACKUP of the orange firmware and if i decide i want to put the orange firmware back onto the htc, how do i do this?
3. Is there any risk involved in the above procedures where i could mess up the phone and not be able to fix it again?
4. Lastly, if I replaced the phone with the current latest firmware and at a later date Android 2.0 came out, will i be able to upgrade to the latest operating system without problems?
Many thanks again

1) why would you assume this? Orange dont put anything on there that slows the phone down, only an app for extra orange settings, which i believe takes you to a webpage...
2) read up on this, we cannot type it out every time. look for nandroid. But if you are trying it use the official update method from the orange site.,
3) same question, if you follow instructions you will be fine.,
4) It has been said by HTC that 2.0 will come to the Hero.... again this is plastered all over the forums and I do believe that your a lazy ass for not looking this up yourself.
Barry - it seems that rather than helping your simply having a go at me for asking questions. It might be a straight forward procedure for you, but I clearly stated that i'm a noob when it comes to the understanding of mobile phones. If you don't want to help then simply ignore my thread, rather than throwing insulting comments mate.
1. As for telling me that orange doesn't slowdown the phone, well many forum users tell a different story as they said there is a huge difference in speed between modaco firmware and orange's own version.
2. Nandroid is one of many and people have also mentioned sprite and mybackup which confuses us noobs as to which one is best and simplest one to use.
3. The 3rd question is not the same as no.2 because i'm trying to ask if there is any risk of totally bricking the phone, which might not affect you, but it means that i end up stuck on a 24mth contract with a bricked handset.
4. It seems your simply increasing your post count as you didn't read my question properly....I never asked if HTC 2.0 will come to hero....i asked that if i update to a custom firmware now, will i still be okay in updating to android 2.0 or could i run into problems because i have a different firmware.
Hi Mate,
There's a lot of useful info around these forums though i hate the 'High and mighty' approach a lot of people have around here, i dont know if they get a kick out of it or just generally like being unhelpful and worship the search god.
From my experience the search on this site is almost completely useless as you have to know exactly what it is you're searching for in the first place - and the point is that Noobs dont know what their looking for!
As for help with your questions i'll try my best! I have the Hero on Orange also - just had it for over a month.
1. The Orange Firmware doesn't have the bloat you'd expect - it's pretty much the same as the official HTC firmware bar the Orange boot logo. The reason Modaco is so fast is that it has tweaks and such to make it faster.
2. It's possible to do this - however you'll need to install a Custom Boot Image. I made a quick guide for someone else here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4868874#post4868874
The custom image will allow you to do a Nandroid backup of the currently installed ROM and it can also be restored - however the Orange Rom can also be downloaded from the orange website too and installed if needed using the RUU that coms with it.
3. There's always a risk when flashing firmwares and such. If the instructions are followed then generally you should be ok but theres always the small chance of something unexpected happening.
4. If i understand the question correctly - then yes you are able to install the latest official firmware when it's released. Though i hear that the latest official firmwares have been harder to 'Root' - maybe someone else could clarify.
Anyway i hope these answer your questions - and i'm 99% sure you'll be sticking with the Hero - from my first Month with it, i find it's the best phone i've ever had. Yes i've even owned 'one of them iThingys'.
Just for info I'm running Amon Ra's recover Image 1.2.3, the Modaco 2.8 rom with the Teknologist 1.8 kernel.
Cheers
Paul
thank u so much paul. Mate thats all i was asking for and thank goodness someone like u is here to help us noobs on the forum..ur an asset to this forum..keep up the good work.
I've just received the hero around 5 mins ago and i'm gonna play about with it to see if there even is the need to update the rom and will let u know how i get on.
I'm worried of scratching my touch screen, so my question is that can i get hold of a cover or something that can protect it?
Cheers mate...much appreciate it
No worries mate - glad to help people, shame most people round here find it such a chore.
I've been using my Hero for just over a month and havn't protected it with anything. I always take care to slip it into an empty pocket.
From what others are saying the screen is made of gass and quite resistant to scratches - obviously scraping car keys down it isn't the best idea but i'm sure itll be ok if you take a bit of care with it.
I also hear the response of the screen is lowered if a protector is added. Take a look on the Hero Accessories forum, there may be a thread on there about covers / cases and such.
Cheers
Paul
my problem is that i have 2 mobiles in one pocket and that sometimes means i end up putting my house keys in the same pocket too. The reason i have to have a phone in my trouser pocket is because i'm deaf in both ears and unless the phone is ultra loud, i can't hear it, so the only alert is when the phone vibrates in my pocket.
People recommend either the flexishield or the invisibleshield, don't know wot to go for, lol.
Also the htc unlock button should only be the one on the most right, yet if i press home button, that too unlocks it..is there any way of disabling this or altering the button combination?
To be fair, most trousers / jeans have 4 pockets. If you want to scratch all of your stuff, put both phones and your keys in one pocket. If you want to keep them nice, use some of your 3 spare pockets. At the end of the day, it's a £400 phone - treat it as such and it will reward you by staying nice and shiny.
true, but its not just keys that can do the damage mate...i'm a cable installer and my work involves crouching, bending, lying down and the worry is that the trousers stretch and crack or damage the screen, so some case or screen protector would be nice to have.
Some people say that the touch sense doesn't respond well, but i tried to use the touch with its original screen protecter sticker which comes with it when orange sends it and it works fine.

Well it sounds like you'd need a case to keep it protected in your situations. I'm sure there's loads of options available. Either that or just leave it out of harms way
How are you finding the Hero now you've had it for a few days now?
@newbiephone Belt mounted case is what is needed.
hi paul mate,
i think the screen protection is the last of my worries
i have the following issues which i don't know how to address:-
1. Low reception - after reading up, i switched off 3g and this increased the reception, but only slightly.
2. contacts / people list - I have exported 350+ contacts from nokia e75 into a CSV file. Then i imported it into google mail and now i synced the HTC with google and this allowed me to download the contacts list. However the contact's numbers are all classed as additional "notes" rather than numbers. I hope i don't have to manually type in 350 contacts!
3. Is there a more simple dialpad that you can recommend? I hate the htc one.
Hi Newbiefone
Can I just say something here that will satisfy all your worries!!!
You wont be wanting to return the Hero after 7 days because it is a quality phone....
Before long you`ll be installing roms, themes, apps galore.
Plus we`ve all got Android 2.0 to look forward to too....
lol, thanks for the positive comments mate, but these are not worries mate, but problems that need diagnosing and solving. I'm sure one these are solved, my htc will stay with me hopefully forever! ROFLOL!
Oops sorry newbie my post was in relation to your first post!
Only just seen your last post..
I sync my contacts with outlook. Can you not import them into there with your csv files and then sync your hero with outlook?
I have seen may posts about problems with contacts and syncing.
To be honest ive not had one problem with it the way i do it..
If you have any more questions just give us a shout. Had my hero since the day it was launched on Orange.
Ah Newbie just been thinking there is a dialpad out there that ive seen. Just cant think of the name lol...
Christ maybe i should think before i type!
A question for one of your questions. Have you tried the latest radio firmware?
Mine and my girlfriends Hero signal are both poor but we do live an airaid shelter!!
Johnny boy your a STAR!!! If you were a girl, i'd kiss u, lol!!
I exported from nokia pc suite straight to outlook and then used HTC SYNC Manager to synchronise calender and contact its done it perfectly!! Thank u so much!
Right what do u mean by the radio firmware? I currently have the latest orange firmware and was adviced not to mess around with that firmware by someone on the forums as i'm still in my 7 days exchange warranty with orange.
Now how about that dialpad name?
LOL oh i`m glad it worked. I dont know why people have so many problems sorting out their contacts on here. Ive seen many a story about syncing problems. I just think this way is so easy i dont know why everyone doesnt do it this way. Ah well never mind at least ive helped someone.
Mmm best leave radio firmware then till you decide to keep it.
Dial pad now thats a tricky one i had a quick look and couldnt find it.
I`m happy with the stock one so i didnt pay much attention to it. Maybe i should have lol!

the reason many people have problems mate is because many import/export the more difficult way via CSV, then google then HTC and if the CSV is messed, then it won't work, but outlook seems to import data perfectly.
If you can't help with a dialpad program, how about like a contacts grid? The Favourites one takes up too much space and only can add a verticle list...if i'm gonna use the whole screen, then i might as well have at least 9 contacts or more at the same time, rather than 3 at a time.
Hello.
First off, I hate myself for doing this, because it is the wrong thing to do. But I have done the right things....
I was wondering if any of you would say that you have experienced such a bug or not:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106272
Also, the glow on the edges - it is messed up. it looks like the attached image.
Can anyone PLEASE confirm whether it is a software bug, or a hardware bug? I need to know so I can replace my handset if buggy.
Thank you.
Mo.
P.s. I am a developer myself, so you can talk to me
It is neither a software bug, nor a hardware bug. This is a classic example of an 'operator' bug. As I see you are a 'developer', you will undoubtedly be able to fix it, most probably by pushing back your backed-up files right? You did take back-ups didn't you?
PS I'm sure many folk are curious as to why you posted this question in the development thread. Oh! It must be because you are a developer.
Anyway, either push back your backups, or reflash the ROM.
Allgamer please move to Q&A section..

thanks for the reply.
I posted this in the Q&A but there was no answer (Given 100 or so views!), so I thought I need to post this in dev to see whether any of you had the same problem or not.
Well, yes I do have a backup. The question is why it happens sometime after the screen has been on, and not instantly? I mean at first and for the first -say 2hrs- the screen is fine, but afterwards this 'bug' appears.
Nothing gets rid of it, unless you reboot the phone.....
Thanks for the reply,
Mo.
If you can screen capture it, it's not a hardware bug.

Still not a reason to post it in dev.
And come on, this is a software bug... Surely it's patently obvious. If you fix your tweak, it should work fine.
I bought an M730W about a month ago from geeks. It came with 2.3.4 on it. I searched high and low to find the ICS for it since I'd seen that the same model is out and comes with it installed. I finally contacted Geeks to see if they could get me in touch with the manufacturer. They had no contact info. Finally after digging around I noticed something with the name of the US based company that hold the patent rights to it. I then dug more and got their number and while I was on hold I found their site. At this address (mymidpad dot com forward slash Downloads_M730Flash dot html) iwas was able to obtain a good manual and the updated firmware. Inside the installer it comes with PhoenixUSBPro, an IMG file and a key. During the install it said it was installing drivers to my laptop but I can not find them when I connect my tablet. The only way that I can apply the update is to have my M730W connected to my machine in a way that it's recognized. The only way for me to do so now is to connect as a USB storage device which does me no good when it comes to using the included software and firmware for updating. So my question is, does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?
Hey Tod. I also have the m730w. ICS is definitely available for the tablet but theres a catch. Since its a tablet(a generic one at that) you have to use a program for your pc called Live Suite which is primarily used for the ainovo tablets but can be used with any generic tablet. I cant do it right now but most likely tonight, ill post the links and the information on how to upgrade to ics. im currently running 4.0.3 flawlessly and much faster and smoother than GB. and i have full root which i can also show you how to do. just let me know

I don't have just the rom. What I've got is the package that can be downloaded from their site. I don't have enough posts in to put an external link in my posts here. I'd try using a different browser and going to the URL I cheated into my OP. Just replace "dot" with "." and "slash" with "/". The software doesn't install the drivers properly on Vista though so you will want to be aware of that.
Any other word??? I want to update my neice's if at all possible.
Wow, here are the instructions! Good luck!

Bump.
I have searched this exhaustively! I still don't know what ROM to download or how to boot into recovery mode. The guy above who posted about Live Suite? Haven't heard back from him. I downloaded that, but without the ROM, I don't see the point in even setting it up. I'm not particular about which ROM, as long as it's newer than the one on here, preferable CM7 or newer, but beggars can't be choosers emmirite??!!

LOL. Hi there. Nope. Not a damn thing have I done with mine. It is sitting on my desk. I let my son play Minecraft on it on long rides, and I use it as backup for my phones camera. I know it could be so much smoother, but is being crippled by it's OS. If I could ficgure out how to boot it into recovery I might risk bricking it with a questionable ROM. But I can't find the ROM OR the means by which to boot into recovery. In truth though, I mainly got it to patootz with. I'm more of a laptop kind of guy anyway.

If you don't know, there's no chance any of us ever will. Someone got this for free at some promotion and handed it off to me, so I'm out absolutely nothing. Just a bummer there isn't more to do with it. You'd think that all these POS tablets would just share the same mainboard and proc, so that some standard JB rom would work for all of them. The screen is terrible and it registers touches so poorly that many games are just unplayable. But, if I give it to one of my nieces or nephews, I'll be a hero!
Thanks though!

Yes you will be a hero. I'm sure there are generic ROMS that would work with this. A) I have no idea where they would be. and B) I don't know how to flash them. If I found one I suspected was close, I might try to ODIN it on there.

Hi, I tried it and I don't get waves. And I know from PC days I am quite capable of seeing flicker. I think what you are seeing looks like a video sync problem. What have you got installed? Maybe you need to check your graphics settings or perhaps Power Saving that may have altered the settings?

I may be using wrong terms. In the old CRT screens it was called sync - that's what your video reminded me of.
Have you tried JJ's suggestion of Factory Reset?
Also do you have anything installed other than how the phone came? If so, list the changes you made - you will probably get more responses if people don't have to ask 'did you do/have this?' and have you say, 'no I didn't' or 'already done that' - tell us what your phone has, what you have done, what conditions etc.
e.g. CF-Root, Omega JB Rom, All Power saving options on - anything you can think of including the ROM/Kernel versions

The issues definitely look lie Vsync issues, though with the quality of the video you posted it's hard to tell. If you phone is now on a true stock rom with no root or anything, then it's likely a hardware fault. Take it back to where you purchased for a warranty repair, there's nothing else that will help you here I'm afraid.
Hey everyone!
I couple of days ago I bought this phone from alibaba.com because I got a good price for it and the specs where decent, atleast for the price.
So far, it's a great phone. It has one bug though which is that sometimes, not always, the volume will go from mute to FULL and force itself to stay there. Like if you were to try and lower the volume, either via the phone menu, or with the side buttons, it would go back up.
This is kind anoying, and these spasms lasts for maximum 30 seconds, ie after 30 seconds you can normally turn the volume down.
But overall, good phone, would've been better if it wasnt doing that. Anyways, to my question.
I want to install Cyanogen mod on this phone. That is the reason why I made this thread, to ask for help/informationg regarding this process, wether its possible or not.
Here are some information I took from the "about phone" window;
Model Number: N3
Android Version: 4.3.0
Baseband Version: N3XXUAMDK
Kernel Version: 3.4.5-526212 [email protected]#1 tue aPR 23 23:00:57 kst 2013
Build number: N3_V1.0_V01_2013
SELinux Status: Enforcing
For specifications phonewise visit this link; turns out I cannot post links yet, but just google "No.1 N3" and their main page will pop out and there are the specs. (I have the 1gb version btw, on their page it costs 199 i think)
So, is this possible? I feel like if this is some kind of software failure, installing cyanogen/or any other rom might fix it.
Also, if it isnt going to fix it, I'd still want my phone to have cyanogen if possible.
Thanks in advance everyone!
issues
Just got this phone in the mail....looks identical to note 3 butttt ...it just isn't connecting to my mobile network. Very frustrating
Radio frequencies are correct etc. I'm on Telus network, I did get a connection for 2 mins and then gone.
On the manufactures website the specs indicate it comes with 4.2 but mine has 4.3. Wondering if the 4.3 is an issue.
The status bars are all grey with a red x above them. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
Porting cyanogen-mod is possible, but just in the way, that almost nothing is impossible.
There is no cyanogen-mod porting so far for the 6589 phones, so you have to port every driver and everything by hand.
If i were you, i would try to flash the newest no1. n3 rom and look if it runs better.
At my No.1 S6 the last firmware solved always every annoying issues from the beginning.
I haven't found a thread about this phone here yet, so i cant give you a link to the latest firmware.
I saw that needrom.com has a rom for the No. 1 N3 so you who had a problem with your phone could maybe use that.
The volume error has seem to have dissapeared now for some strange reason?
Anyways I'm happy, but I still want more discussion about this phone. It's very good actually.
Thanks to the one posted here.
Also, I have no experience with android development so me porting cyanogen to this phone would not work at all
I think i will get my N3 next week.
Now i'm on my No.1 - S6...

From where did you buy it?
Also, please post here with your thoughts of the phone when you get it!
I buyed it second-hand, originally it came from tinydeal.
Is here a general discussion thread about this phone?
I got mine today, with firmware from 2013-11-18, and the camera-pictures are very noisy.
I guess this is an issue of the camera-drivers.
How are your photos?
So no.1 n3 dont have any custom rom

You have the white bootanimation or the black bootanimation?
My camera is good actually, cant complain on that.
I can give you all the files required to get the black boot animation "version", as I contacted customer service and they gave me the files.

Is here a general discussion thread about this phone?
I got mine today, with firmware from 2013-11-18, and the camera-pictures are very noisy.
I guess this is an issue of the camera-drivers.
How are your photos?

American noob here. XDA Developer Boocy has some interesting info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438752
I received my No.1 N3 (the lower end $179 version as a matter of poverty) with the black boot animation. I believe it shipped with the updated ROM version on http://www.needrom.com/mobile/no-1-n3-2/ . I didn't use Boocy's backup and root tutorial because the cpu name has a T at the end of it (MTK6589T) and this is Android 4.3.0... it seems this phone needs some time on the market before developers see a demand for custom ROMs and we can get a straight forward fix for the GPS issues.
MTK Droid Tools reference in Boocy's post rooted the phone with the superuser button and SuperSu (after spending 8 hours researching why my MTKDroidTools didn't have a root button as seen in some image searches).
As a noob who spent the past 3 days on this phone, MTKDroidTools rooted the phone, but none of the GPS "fixes" or apps I've found work... and GPS is essential for my job. I've researched other custom ROMs but found nothing. I"m stuck at attempting to go back to stock with the needrom.com version posted above (because I didn't know enough about creating and flashing backups until it was too late).
Please link any relevant guides that have helped you in working with this phone. Keep on Google and let the rest of us know when this phone gets the attention it deserves from the developer community! (Thank you developers!)

I've installed the first version of the stock rom from needrom.com... black boot animation. I'm installing the update, which is what I believe came on the phone, black boot animation. I don't think I've seen the white or know where it came from. I'm not sure where the boot animation is stored on the phone, but I'm assuming it is attached to the ROM and when you flash you get a different animation?
I forgot to mention I have MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.2... and that in rooting by pressing the SuperUser button, I replaced the HBOOT screen with CWM (when you press volume up, power on, and home screen button during boot). Not sure how I did that, but I'm still trying to figure out where the kernel, rom, and recovery screen and recovery ROM are and which one gets replaced with what. Guides appreciated.
Sorry, if GPS is so important for you, i'm afraid to say you got the wrong phone.
No Fix will make a REAL good GPS, because the antennas are not really good.
With EPO and AGPS on, my phone gets a hot fix in less than 10sec, but navigating with maps is nearly impossible.
Finding satellites inside a car with chromed windows is more than hard.
Nearly all china-phones, but specially the clones have bad gps, and i think they always will.
Better buy a better phone than a cheap samsung galaxy grand or something.

Just got this phone in the mail....looks identical to note 3 butttt ...it just isn't connecting to my mobile network. Very frustrating
Radio frequencies are correct etc. I'm on Telus network, I did get a connection for 2 mins and then gone.
On the manufactures website the specs indicate it comes with 4.2 but mine has 4.3. Wondering if the 4.3 is an issue.
The status bars are all grey with a red x above them. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
