Today, I was caught out for the second time by the unintended SMS recipient bug, where you go to send a text to someone and the phone selects a totally random contact. Normally I'll spot it before I send but it's an accident waiting to happen. This time, I sent a romantic text to my friend instead of the wife, last time I sent a text to the ex instead of my wife! No damage done thankfully but it's totally unacceptable and I've had my phone since Oct 2009. At this rate I'll need a new phone before HTC fix this bloody issue.
When Google finally acknowledged the issue recently I raised (a third) support call with HTC who said they'd fix it when Google issued a fix. Recently Google have started rolling out a fix to 2.3 Nexus S users. Anyone have any intelligence when (if?) this is going to come to 2.1???
never heard of this problem
As above. I havnt heard of this bug effecting 2.1....
Ive heard it effects 2.2+
Hate to break it to you, but the hero is basically dead to HTC now. It has been superseded by so many phones now, HTC are never going to provide any further updates to it. The best you can hope for is a dev will integrate the fix into cyanogenmod 7, if they haven't already.
I can assure you it does affect 2.1 and I've seen various other people say so in other threads. The mate I sent the wrong message to has a Magic and he says it affects him too - not sure what version of Android he's running.
I hadn't seen Google refer to the issue as specific to any particular revision but, if people have been reporting it since June and a fix has been rolled out to 2.3, it would seem to suggest a fairly generic issue.
Like many people I'm pretty disappointed with HTC but I may still stick with them for my next phone as I have an aversion to Samsung and Motorola.
What carrier/country are you in? i also own a magic and still have never had this problem?
I'm on Orange in the UK, dunno what network my mate is on.
To be precise (because there are two bugs really) this is the one where you go to a contact details, select "Send message" and it takes you to the conversation thread for another contact. It would appear to occur randomly however it usually seems to affect texts I send to my wife. This could be because I text her more than anyone else. However once it has done this once it will affect that contact (and not others) until I reboot the phone. I reckon it's some kind of stack issue.
I've had this happen once or twice. Wasn't a huge deal but yeah I've noticed it on 2.1 haven't on 2.2 though
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
May have somethign to do with the amount of conversations stored? i rarely have more than 3 due to flash nightlies EVERY night
Upgrade!
My hero received an OTA update today taking it to software level 3.36.405.1.
The only posts I've seen relating to this update indicate that it fixes issues to do with the Peep app. MF that, what about basic stuff like making it send messages to the right people?! Anyone know anything more about this upgrade?
Edit:
I noticed that the upgrade added a bunch of bookmarks to my browser, which I was thankfully able to delete. For all of yesterday I even thought that ordering my bookmarks alphabetically would finally persist but no, today they're back in the order added! I mean, if you're going to bother with an OTA update why wouldn't you fix something like this? At over 6MB I'm guessing there have been some other changes with this update, time will tell if the text bug has been addressed but I'm thinking this is just a HTC update rather than anything to do with Android?
Has anyone allowed this Kit-Kat push to install? If so, I would be curious to know what has changed, if any settings were lost, disabled apps re-enabled, etc.
I just hate to be a guinea pig for these OTA pushes; always afraid that Google and sammy will continue to lock down the control screws by removing user ability to disable instrusive built-in apps via Application Manager, etc. On the other hand, I realize that they will need to do bug fixes for some period of time after such a new release. In this case, the release notes are the most cryptic that I have ever seen "increases stability" but "might change settings, delete data, etc." What the hell?!!
I am trying to avoid rooting this new device but may be forced to in order to do an image backup to get back to a previous stable state if one of their OTAs wreaks too much havoc. Any thoughts on this or any way to disable OTAs with stock firmware for the TMo USA S5?
What version of software are you on?
So far there has only been one OTA push for the phone and that was the one you would have gotten out of the box.
version NCH.
That one is still rootable too.
I think that is what the root method was actually based on.

Thank you for the reply, Artisan, and sorry for the late reply. I am on NCD (e.g., Build number KOT49H.G900TUVU1ANCD and Baseband G900TUVU1ANCD). I picked my phone up from a TMO store on the release Friday and received the OTA push download a few days later. I have not yet installed it because I cannot determine what it is/does/improves/or limits.
Not quite sure what you mean when you say that there has been one OTA push and I would have received it out of the box. The TMO store unboxed the phone and set it up for me. Either the update was not yet available, or was and they simply did not install it. In any case, it appears that I am on the released version NCD and what they are trying to push to me is the one and only update so far, NCH, right?
My question remains, what does NCH change? The release note is useless; it says "increases stability." Does anyone know the answer to this question?
Thank you!

The NCH update only does what it states, increases stability. It's what everyone is on and doesn't limit anything.
Did anyone else get a OTA update today? I had my H5x in the box setting beside me on my table, I heard it vibrate a couple times, but I didn't look at it as I thought it was just Facebook notifications or something. I finally pulled it out to check it and it was doing a EMUI update....I looked at the build number and its still ends in b130, the security patch still shows a Dec. 2015 date on it.
The phone at least appears to be a little smother with seemingly less lag....anyone else get this, or was it just something random my phone did?

I dint get any update ! And there is no official or unofficial news regarding updates . i tried contacting huawei customercare and they forwarded me this thing
Hello,

Hey guys,
what's your experience with the new 32.2.A.4.3 firmware?
I have been waiting for some reviews on it as well. But it seems a very limited number of people have got it and they've neither installed it yet nor they are around here to tell us What I am expecting on this update includes 1- November security patches, 2-Updated camera UI (with manual controls as in XZ and X Compact), 2-A newer version of Xperia Home. (at least some of them, if not all)
The only thing I know is that 32.2.A.4.3 was an open source archive from sony. No idea what that Norwegian company did with it, but I have no plans to test it out.
Main reason I don't believe this is real firmware update: version going from 32.2.A.0.305 to 32.A.4.3 doesn't make any sense.
I am no expert but from what I see, all the listed firmware on developer.sonymobile.com eventually ended up being commercially released. I guess we'll have to wait for a couple of days and see whether it's going to be live in any other regions or not...
Well Telenor Mobil NO has gotten it.
Check https://xpericheck.com/device/E5823 for that...
Doing a diff between 32.2.A.0.305 and 32.A.4.3 open source archives shows just a few tiny changes. The ROM itself may have more changes, though.
Mines just updated, NOBA
I got the update today about half an hour ago. August security patch and about 90mb. Can't see any differences.
Me too. I updated. I don't see anything new. Camera app, launcher, settings, nothing. Just the August 1 security patch.
Updated and for me it screwed up my phone. Home and Menu buttons stopped working, but gave tactile feedback when I pressed them anyway. Back button worked though. But kind of rendered the phone unusable.
Also the top pulldown menu did not work anymore.
Needed to do a system restore to get it working again (joy...)
Don't do 32.2.A.4.3
Upgraded to :silly:
Phone is really slow after upgrade, most apps lagging and sometimes crashing.
Instagram is a nightmare after this upgrade..
Using screenshoot function takes 15-30 sec before picture captured.
Doing re-install in a couple of days.
DO NOT UPGRADE
There's a new release on developer.sonymobile.com: 32.2.A.5.11
Maybe is a fix of the problems in this version. So if you have 32.2.A.4.3 maybe you should wait for this update.

The update to 4.2.6 contains huge errors. All the tested outdoor activities don’t work with it. I have examined Run, Go, Hike, Biking.
After a short time it crashes. It shows senseless numbers (for instance a million of hours), then the data is lost. Newly starting it, this process repeats.
anyone have any solution for this?

so you can roll it back to previous ROM version with factory reset or is there any other way to do it?

nice, to hear it! ...i can't wait anymore.. having the same problems all the time.
after a software update 4.2.7. i have still the same issue with GPS... do you also have guys??
In my case, the watch stops recording activities after like 5 min, No error message or anything.... I'm really unhappy with amazfit/Xiaomi.... Most of the tech related products I've bought in the last 4 years are from Xiaomi (inc. a stratos 2 that died after 18 months of use)... I'm really thinking that Xiaomi is no longer at the level they were a while ago or they say they are... Very disappointed... Let's see if this gets fixed or I just give up and buy something else
