HTC Hero ROM update for 3 UK?

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.
Regards,
Dave
@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.

[Q] Orange UK HTC 7 Mozart & Mango Beta 2

Hi all
This is a question that relates to the Orange UK Branded HTC 7 Mozart.
Has anybody with this variant installed the Beta 2 Mango Test Update? If so, can you please say whether or not you still had access to the Orange branded apps, e.g. Orange Maps?
This is something of a deal breaker for me.
Thanks
andrew-in-woking
yes and no
Ok so as a Student, i installed the tools today.
It works perfectly (beta quality of course) on the Mozart.
The orange branding does indeed disapear. However if you have already installed the orange apps before upgrading they will not delete themselves.
Hope this helps!
Edit: actually it keeps Orange UK orange colour as a theme. All i can see that is still there!
Edit 2: weird restarted and orange selects are back! but like the htc apps can't be accessed. However search for them manually and they work fine.
So i think you are safe

Nothing here on o2 UK yet. Mind you, I only just got the last update
Checked via Zune about an hour ago, and nothing. On giffgaff, but handset came straight from Nokia in Helsinki.
well, the german site mentioned it will be distributed gradually in the next two weeks.
anyway, the update mentiones audio improvements... well, in the first phonecall after the update i experience an increased lowest volume level, which i hate, and more background noise in the call, but that may be due to the windy conditions at the moment

Unfortuantely it does not fix the low light central red zone on the camera. But general color accuracy on capture does seem improved.
No update here in uk. Sim free on lyca mobile
I just go the update on 3 UK.
Anyone else from UK still not getting the update. This update stuff makes me really anxious. I think I'm gonna miss university tomorrow
Still nothing for me. I'm on o2 UK but bought the phone SIM free from the Carphone Warehouse so I don't know if that has something to do with the delay, but I only just got the 7740 update last week.
I have the update t-mobile UK.
For anyone that does not have it have you tried the dissconecting the network trick that was widely used to get Mango? ie go to check for update on zune and after 2 seconds dissconect the internet. May work as it looks like they useing the same que system.
No, the trick isn't helping for me.
Yup T-mobile uk update here also ;-)
Got the update last night when plugged the phone in to Windows Phone Connector for mac.

ATT Nokia Black Update in the wild.

I was promoted and installed the Black update on my ATT 920 which was flashed to a Rogers ROM then back to the ATT DEV ROM. Not sure if its available for the normal ATT 920 Black via OTA yet or not but seems to be listed on the download too for both product codes in NCS if anyone's up for manually flashing it.
All in all, not to bad for ATT this round, only a week or two behind everyone else as apposed to the 3-4 months last time.

Thank u guys...
I will try to update my existing European(French) ROM by OTA or by NSU..
And guys if any of you get the latest Lumia Black ROM(Indian Version) download link for offline flashing, then please let me know.
It fixed my wireless charging issues and added custom notifications for SMS and email. So far it's all good for me.
The only real app update I got was to the Preview for Developers app as well as Skype. The first not really doing anything yet, but looks like its in preparation for the next release. haven't really tested Skype yet. Though I did have a bunch of updates when I initially loaded the Preview for Developer app and updated to GDR3.
Still having some minor issues with controlling the volume on what appears to be single channel audio podcast. But nothing a reboot doesn't fix.
To delete.
Anyone able to flash the official AT&T Black update OVER the Amber Dev ROM? Tried but getting the FFU error.

If your Hardware Product Code is that AT&T, so then try to update the Product Code with NSU, for example.
Not a Lumia 920 owner, but have the Lumia 928 and it too got the update.
I just love how sexy this phone is. Sadly because its a Verizon exclusive (Unlocked) it isn't perfect on MVNO. Works great on T-mobile except that to send messages you have to set it to EDGE.
Works perfect on Net10, internet, SMS, MMS
Almost perfect on H2O, internet, SMS, (can't receive mms)
So I have it as my spare/secondary device. Can't wait to see how it WP8.1 comes out. My main device is Nexus 5, but just love how cool and minimalist the Lumia is.

WP 8.1 not supporting AWS?

Hi,
I have a L920, originally Rogers (CA) ROM. I flashed it into Euro Dev a long time ago, and it worked just fine until yesterday on my AWS provider (Mobilicity).
As with previous OTA updates, carriers started to deploy theirs, and I didn't get a notification for mine until yesterday. Did the OTA and as soon as phone started with 8.1, I was showing 'No service'. If I did a manual search, neither Mobilicity nor Wind would show, only CDN Roaming (Rogers), and Bell.
After a few hours with the (un)support of both MS and Nokia, I gave up and decided to flash back. I flashed it back to Rogers WP 8.1, and same thing. I reflashed it to the previous OS I had (Euro Developer, 8.0 GDR 3) and same thing.
My guess is that the AWS frequency is now somehow lost, since the previous Euro version had it and now it doesn't.
Anyone has heard anything about this? And, more importantly, anyone has any idea how to get my AWS back?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
