No Flash 10 on Hero?

Just came across this,saying that the Hero wont support Flash 10.What do you think about that?

WHAT?
Well, that sucks ass >.> What are we suppose to do? Maybe one of our awesome devs can work on it when the issue comes up. *waits for toast to read this* LOL

no biggie, by the time it comes out, I will be able to upgrade and hopefully will get the rumored supersonic!!

Just because they say the hero won't be supported doesn't mean we won't have it.. lol

Oh I know we'll have it.
Just curious on peoples thoughts as to whether it'll be able to run.Guess we'll just have to wait and see till one of these brainiacs get ahold of it and see what they can do.

i like that adobe already knows its going to cause battery issues lol

I thought the battery drain was negligible. I read an article yesterday on engadget saying that they streamed about 3 hours of video on a nexus one. The article made it sound like it wasn't a battery hog.

yeah your right, that guy above you didn't read the article right haha

yea but adobe knows we'll have it Wonder if they're just trying to deter us...lol

I can honestly say that I couldnt care less. I dont play flash games. Youtube has its own app (though it currently doesnt work in the 1.5 OS), and HULU blocks mobile connections. So....what is left to use flash for....the thousands upon thousands of ads dancing across nearly every web page and bragging rights against Apples Iphone. No thanks Adobe, I can live without your crap software.

Point well made..

I don't think the battery will be an issue. I think the CPU is just too slow.

Just read Palm is updating the Pre WebOS today via OTA. Among the changes is support for Flash 10. Doesn't say it'll work on the Pre, just supported.

It says Flash 10 will be available in the app store soon.
The Pre has much more robust hardware than the Hero.

Flash 10 would be rather useful in some cases, i know personally i would like to listen HoNcast videos while im at work without loading down my network at work. Boss doesn't like that...by the time we get flash 10...flash 11 or 12 might be out and id still be boned...but i can always hope for the best ha ha

we should
port android to the damn pre so we could have basically a droid... except my hero gets a much better signal compared to the damn pre....

I think it sucks. A lot of false promises with this phone. I feel like a beta tester
If anything my thought is that Sprint should allow another upgrade for Hero users. This phone has never worked at 100% since I got it. It's issue after issue.

I have to agree that, while I love this phone, it was definetely produced in a very incomplete state. It's really BS that HTC made the Nexus One not three months later and it has twice the hardware, plus a flash for the camera. WTF?

The hero has to have flash, it was the first phone with flash lite! Also, I'm sure that a developer will get it *looks at toast* if it 'isn't supported' and show them .

If you were thinking anout getting N1.. DO IT!

I just switched from touch pro 2 and let me tell you... There is no comparison. I had TP2 for a year and almost everytime I had to do something fast, look something up or do somehing more complicated than calling - it would fail me. It led to a constant feeling of doubt and being unsure if it will just freeze when I need it the most.
N1 is freaking fast. Everything on it JUST WORKS. There is no guessing, like on TP2 - "omg I hope this launches.. I hope I don't have to soft reset.." - everything is integrated, every transition happens in a snap, every task you throw at it is handled immediatly and with style. It's a reliable life partner.
If you are undecided like I was a week ago about switching to N1, do it - you'll wish u've done it sooner.
Android FTW.

It looks almost black & blue already.

Its far better than the TP2 but it reboots by itself alot. I don't know why. I do understand you, coming form that phone also. But its not perfect yet.

My n1 never random reboots.....Ever since JIT got throw out the window, no reboots....I had almost 12 days uptime once....

What is JIT?
Scratch that. I found what it means. How do you get rid of it? I've read its built in.

THANK YOU, OP!
Yes, I was pretty undecided up until now. I have a SE X1 and really, I know what you're talking about when you mention "doubt". I just hate the thing and WM makes it a nightmare. When I got my X1 I was thinking of keeping the phone for a long time, I wasn't expecting a $900 phone to turn out to be complete crap both hardware wise (flimsy, crappy keyboard, crappy paint, etc.) and software wise (WM!!!). Hopefully, I can use the N1 for a longer time with the updates and all...
I guess I'll be getting it now for sure, the only thing left to decide is whether or not it's worth it to wait the extra time to have it engraved...ha!

Actually I ordered mine engraved and it shipped the same day. Suppose to be delivered today .
You may also want to check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654493

I also came from a TP2 and I don't miss it or windows mobile at all. The laggy feel to if it was on for a day with no soft reset. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who made the switch.

And to fill that final need.......
go and download dildroid just google it. Now your phone can handle anything, no really, I mean anything!

Dude, be VERY careful about the engraving.
Read the warranty policy - if you engrave it, it becomes a non-refundable phone that can only be sent in for repairs, if needed. Also, think if you'll want to sell it in a year or two.. nobody wants your "My name is John and I have a 12" tool" engraving.
Not that it's a bad service, just make sure you consider that.

Nah I was thinking something like:

Or something that would make the "wife" happy. I have to be careful what I engrave otherwise I'll get the cold treatment XD.
Oh well

I'm thinking that if I do want some "engraving" on it, I could get away with a transparent acid-sticker of a sort.. at least that I can remove and sell/return if need arises.
Although only death can separate me form my N1 at this point.

If Adobe would hurry and release the fully gpu accelerated flash player for this phone, I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
Seriously! The ipad / iphone guys are crying so hard about wanting html 5 everywhere because they're not allowed to have flash.. I worry that Adobe's missed the boat on this one.
Not a single developer leaking the gpu flash 10 player for android either..

Samsung Moment gets 2.1 official???

I just read as I googled "Sprint 2.1 update" I get all kinds of, Sprint releases Moment update 2.1, I thought we were getting the "official bits" first?
Why is it I always pick the phone that takes forever to get anything done on, lol...
Thank God for XDA!

I think you need to re-read your google links, as it was a leak.
Something that we've had a few times now for the 2.1 roms...

i know im so using those =P
and on topic, the moment will probably get the update i think first, its plain android and its much easier to port android 2.1 1:1 like that.

Im aware this is the HTC Hero thread, and I dont care about the moment, other than that fact that it seemed, and Im correcting myself I did not see anything that was officially stating that it was official, I was mearly stating that everything I saw, was saying that Hero would get the bits first, then moment,.
Im sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but Im a hero user, and it urked me.

That wasn't to you specifically.. Just a joke about the forum.. Don't worry about it.. You can post whatever you want, this place is for you to learn...

All I can say is that it's about damn time. I've been loving 2.1 on my hero for the last couple weeks while my wife's moment has been crying itself to sleep. Looks like they've already rooted it over at SDX, so I'm gonna probably flash that whenever I get home from work.
Of course, what would be *really* nice is if Sprint put out something official for a change.

Has sprint ever officially done anything

This is crazy...
Just for you narrow-minded people...
Just because it is not "officially" released on your schedule, doesn't mean anything negative to a company...
Just look at Verizon and the Storm 1.. People kept hounding and hounding Verizon for updates for the phone, but when the update wasn't what they expected, go crazy that they should have done better QA...
It is Sprint's responsibility to make sure all issues are addressed and taken care of... Do you have any idea how many thousands of issues are brought in the testing phase???
Do you know how hard it would be to guarantee a million phones for retail, from a single demo(test) device??
Have a just a tiny bit of understanding and stop complaining....

Narrow minded? Is that would you consider Microsoft? They release software that has no business being in the market place, only to patch it every tuesday when admins like me all over the world find bugs and exploits, and errors and problems. Just release the damn thing, and do incrementals as needed. Take the M$ route and get us what we want!

I would take that with a grain of salt, if I had a dime for every article I saw that had a date in it, I'd have enough money to buy Google and get 2.1
It'll be out whenever Sprint is ready. It doesn't help that they are dragging their feet, most likely for their proprietary apps. I'm not holding my breath.

YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS ! (please read)

OK....so you guys wont believe this.....
I live in NewYork....(flushing) to be precise...which is an area dominant by chinese people....
so I took the subway.....and it was jam packed.....
but thats not it.....
about like a metre away from me I saw a chinese dude with a huge ass phone in his hand....i was kinda curious to know what phone it was untill he flipped it over to do something and I saw....the HD2 buttons.....and thot.....no big deal...i have a HD2 too.....
BUT TO MY SURPRISE !!
I SAW WP7 running on his phone.......he had the Zune music player on it....
NOW i know a lot of you guys will be like....ohhh it might have been a theme or an add on !!
but ! NO
he pressed the start button and it had the same transition.....he even pressed the VOlume UP button and I saw the Notification feature on top of the screen in WP7.....
I so wanted to talk to him about it...but the train was packed and the dude left at the next stop....
now I want to know what you guys think about this ???

i think its bs

This thread is pretty useless without pictures or even the standard blurry/shakey video. It's just going to start more rumours and threads like I know a friend who knows a guy who saw a guy eating lunch who apparently works for HTC and he and a prototype HD2 running WP7.

Farewell :(

Well everyone,
I regret to inform you all that my time with my beloved Vibrant has come to an abrupt end.
Due to finally being hit by the EU bug, and with my vibrant's port being broken and being unable to mount to my pc....
I'm afraid that my time is over. Although I will continue working on fixing my phone in the coming weeks, maybe fate is
just telling me that it's time to move on Sigh.
It's been a pleasure guys, I'll miss my vib, and the wonderful community. Not sure what my next device will be...my upgrade is coming up, so I guess it's time to start shopping :/
