There are a few people on the web reporting their HTC Hero is running a 2.73.728.5 ROM. I wonder if anyone here has seen this in the wild and could report whether this is a provider customized 2.73.405.5 or yet another new build?
And, with the release of Donut, I hope we have another update coming this side of Xmas!
Whatever that Hero update contains, it'd better sort out Bluetoothing. When I say Bluetooth I mean by way of file sharing with other phones not just with a headset.
Anyone get an answer from HTC about sorting this Bluetooth filesharing issue out? I've tried tweeting HTC, but get no reply.
P.S. the market apps don't work, even with root access. Sending AND receiving. Come on HTC sort this out, it would make the Hero a killer phone.
I honestly don't see how BT filesharing can be a big issue. Maybe a nice feature. I doubt it's on anyone's 'urgent list' at HTC or Google.
Airtel (India) comes with a factory default of 2.73.720.5.

Well, it really should be considering that any old phone can do it these days, yet top of the range smartphones like the Hero can't do it? Ridiculous.
Maybe not an important thing in the US, but it is widely used globally. Research by Microsoft and MTV shows 75% of European 16-24 yr olds) 'Bluetooth stuff' to their friends. It's huge in Asia also.
You can do it on most HTC WinMo phones. I am frankly embarrassed when a friends asks me to bluetooth them a song or photo and I have to admit I can't.
I can see why Apple don't want to do it on the iphone, as they dont like the idea of moving music from one phone to another, but Android has no such ideological reasons for doing it, just a massive oversight.
Check out: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1725
Plenty of people there who want it.
edit to add:
IN fact its the second most requested item: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
Come on Google, pull your finger out!

I have that exact ROM build. I just received my HTC Hero and I love it. I could not tell you the difference in builds, but the HTC website states im not eligible for their latest ROM upgrade to 405. I bought mine online unlocked and using on the AT&T/Cingular Network in S.Carolina. Works just great with Wifi, on Edge, I dont have any Bluetooth devices, but soon to get some.
Hi Everyone,
Please comment and contribute to the poll.
Question is whether you would pay £5 to recieve a windows 7 upgrade for HTC HD2
This poll and the comments made are going to be used as a petition to try and get HTC to release an upgrade for all us HD2 owners.
I'm pretty sure that HTC would release an upgrade if people paid for it so please comment and answer the poll
Thanks Everyone
i voted NO because i hate an os that doesn't let you change stuff ( at least thats what the latest news was on that )
after 6.5 i'll turn to Android
As long as I can still hax it and have Android.

Indeed, someone would have to pay me a heck of a lot more than £5 to have WP7
I'd say no on the basis they've stated it won't happen, I'd imagine it'll cost more than £5 per user at their end also
first of all I voted no! even if HTC will pay me 600€ ,I don't will WP7
Fore doing what? first of al I don't like the UI (if we can speak of a UI)
secondly it's to limited.
ow fore give you a answer, HTC wouldn't release a official ROM update fore the HD2 To WP7! It's not authorized by Windows. there are strict ruels.
But you will find cooked roms here.
i dont see whats so special about W7
I had alredy paid 755€ why should I pay 5€ more or should not
but I prefer to donate 10€ to XDA when NAND is realised. (I'm likly hearing your voices -why 10€- because I'm just a simple student)
You REALLY think HTC will take notice of a little petition like this - especially when they've just announced their line of WP7 devices? lol
Really, what is the point of this thread.
If you're that desperate to have 7 on your HD2, just wait for a hacked ROM to appear (then enjoy it's limited functionality!)
No never
Why?
Because i didn't have a credit card lol
And 1thing
U know ,actually i'll be going to NAND Android
WP7 is bull****
if they let me dual boot back to WM 6.5.x yeah

No. More than one reason, but one of the main reasons is: TETHERING
tethering is supported
No tethering in WP7

Not according to this post on CNET...
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-20017576-56.html
I would pay. I don't see how so many can be against an OS they've never used. You've seen videos. That's it. I liked WM 6.5. I didn't like Android until I thoroughly used it. I'll invest $8 to give a new OS a shot.
However, this exercise is moot. If HTC released this on HD2 they would have to support it.
Microsoft would never license it on a phone that doesn't meet Win Phone 7 specs.

I wouldn't.
I don't trust MS enough that they will support this OS for more than a year or two.
Android has support across the world.
what? no multitasking? no nothing i should say, i thought microsoft would do something extraordinary with WM7 to catch up with android, instead they copied and pasted the 1st iphone version.
Finallt i say WINDOWS MOBILE IS DEAD, LONG LIVE ANDROID.
definitely yes
I absolutely would pay 5 pound to upgrade my HD2
As long as it will not effect on the android Os.
5 pound would be nothing comparing to have a completely new OS.
always trying new thing is good. so, Why Not ????????

OT: This thread is totally useless, do you really think HTC will consider this? Devs are currently working on it, so you'd better ask whether people would donate developers if they would have managed to get WP7 working on the HD2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSRFA4eYhw8
Maybe if Microsoft received a few emails that most HD2 users will jump to android then maybe they will think twice about it and force HTC to do a free upgrade. Regarding £5 its not too much to pay but it should be free.
Hi,
since a few weeks I'm playing with the thought to buy a HD2. But there is only one thing which prevents me from doing that:
The question about the future! I guess there will be some developers left, who create applications for the HD2/WM6.5. And it is possible to run Android on it. But what about repair service from HTC. How long can I send it in for repair (hope it will never need to )? What about the compatibility with future devices?
-> Can anyone tell me how many years it may take until the HD2 is too old and nothing will work anymore? I prefer a lifetime of at least 2 years, starting from today!
What about other devices? Are there any similiar devices from HTC, which can be interesting? Maybe should I wait? Are there any anouncements of new devices?
I like WM6.5 really much and I also like the stuff/apps for the HD2. I won't buy WP7 for now, there are too many things which are missing, maybe in one or two years.
Best regards
zyclop
I have a very dumb question....Where can I find the guide to unlock/jailbreak the radar so I can install apps not in the market??
I did search and found this chevron thing but its about a year old, dont know if it applies to the RADAR.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
There currently isn't any way to unlock the Radar or any 2nd gen HTC WP7. I'm anxiously waiting for this, would love to install the screen capture app on mine.

uhm....whats interop??
Don't know why my last comment didn't show, damn xda app!
But, interop unlocking gives you/an app access to certain drivers locked down by MS, usually reserved for OEM's or partners.
Currently their is no way to interop unlock any 2nd gen HTC devices like our Radar or Titans. For now us 2nd gen HTC owners are stuck with stock phones. Unless you have a developer account, student account, or purchase a chevron token.

So what does the Chevron token do? Will it work on the Radar?
Well the Chevron Token unlocks the phone to sideload a set number of apps, 10 I think. It should work fine on the Radar. But they're currently "sold out". They will hopefully be able to sell more, it's only $10. It doesn't interop unlock the phone, but interop unlock usually isn't necessary unless you really want to change registry values or fully unlock your phone for some homebrew apps that require fully unlocked phones.
My girlfriend also waiting for Jailbreak because she wants to use Advance Config.
Is there any way to deploy an Registry Editor to the Radar?
No. All 2nd gen devices are locked down hard.

i'm interested too.
If you create a DreamSpark account through Microsoft, you can dev-unlock your phone for free. You just need a functioning .edu email address. Just Google "Microsoft DreamSpark" and you should see the website where you can create (and then verify) your account. I can't post the link because I'm a new member.
I found this thread and hoping this student account stuff is still valid. So I just created and verified my info. Now where would I even begin to unlock/jailbreak the Radar?
i hate microsoft so much.
i've found so much more power in linux, and android, and i just don't understand how microsoft is even in business....
i got the radar (for free, from the mschallange), and i think its designed for complete idiots...i am sooo disappointed

Well, seems engouht intelligent to hate Microsoft. I 'm also waiting some way to work with htc radar (like send contacts without exchanges account....), or better, wait canonical distribution at the end of this year and hope we can use for erase from windows phone. Phone as a tool, have to work for me, to make my life easier, isn't it?

Lol, you sound like you're in the 1950's! Besides it's only a backup dev phone "mate" (that is a very strange word). But you're obviously a troll with nothing intelligent to add, so adding you to my block list, lil girl.

as the title says, i just bought a lumia 800 of ebay
got myself the cyan model, with 16gb of mem
£265 uk pounds, unlocked as new, good deal?
im coming over from a htc hd2 with win7 flashed to it, what do you guys reckon ill enjoy the most?
personally im looking forward to a decent days battery, even when playing music, and the compass working
im not looking forward to a non-removable battery (like having spares for long weekends at festivals without charging) and going from my 32gb card to a 16gb
any accessories people recommend?
Well since you already bought it, I suppose you like the way it looks.
I think most of the people who bought it, did so because it looks absolutely fantastic - I did and with that I have to live with all of the drawbacks that it (and most other phones out there) has.
I personally like- how it feels in the hand and how quick the os is on it.
Enjoy your new toy
I bought my lumia today, WP7 is a bit confusing for me. Its my firs one, I came from android (LG OB). If you dont mind i have some questions:
-Is there a smart way to connect contacts with facebook or WL profiles? (it would be boring to do it one by one)
-I linked my live profile with FB, i can receive and send messages like in fb messenger, but is there a way to update conversations? sometimes i dont get some messages and they appear minutes later.
-how about unlocking? how is it working (or not) here? is it possible to install cracked apps?
-the most annoying for me: is there any chance, to change keyboard? in my language we have a lot of letters that are not included in basic keyboard. any chance to change it like in android?
thanks
ps.: im also really curious about if there is a HDR cam app (i couldnt find one)
I had the HD7 which is a lot like the HD2 and think the Lumia is a much better phone. WP7 is a great experience on the Nokia.

1. A smart way would be to name the people the same way in each service (Facebook, live, etc.) so that they would be linked automagically.
2. -
3. As far as I know there's no "jailbreak" for Lumia yet. Operator unlocking, I guess, can be done via Nokia firmware update tools by flashing an operator free firmware. By cracked apps I hope you don't mean pirated apps?`
4. There seems to be a Hungarian keyboard but no special characters. I'm Finnish and in Finnish keyboard we get the 3 "special" extra letters we need (å,ä & ö). By long pressing a letter you get to choose a lot of extra special letters and I guess those would cover your needs.

I'm sure XDA would rather seeing you use the dedicated XDA app though.
