Broken hero, buy a new hero or desire? - Hero, G2 Touch General

My hero is broken and i cannot make up my mind about what to do.
should i get a new hero or switch to a desire?
I started to read in the desire forum and clearly they are having problems with this usb brick.
It also seems like the custom rom development for desire barely exists.
Im really happy with my hero running very smooth, even smoother than my friends desire in some gui animations but the snapdragon does its thing when it comes to calculation..
add to the calculation that i can get a hero for roughly half the price.
help me out here!

Hmmmm,.... Well I dont think the Desire is worth twice the amount of a Hero,... But if it had a hardware keyboard I'd be tempted.
If I was you,... I'd get the cheapest thing available, i'd even consider a Magic,... Then wait for the Vision,... But again, thats cos I really want a keyboard, and it could be 6 months or more for that to drop.
If you wont be upgrading again for a while i'd get a Desire, and custom ROMs will get better.
Hmmmmm,.... Its a hard one.... Sorry, no help whatsoever.

have you considered a legend? u will still get the nice htc styling (infact in my opinion the legend is best looking android phone) but also 2.1 android as default - htc will no doult upgrade legend to 2.2 (even if it takes 6months)
the legend is alot faster then the hero (not as fast of the desire mind but still)
it seems a good middle ground choice for you!

the legend is ok i guess, but its almost as expencive as the desire, and then id rather go for snapdragon and oled
a friend of mine has the legend and i dont really like the color reproduction..
and with my current rom to the hero its less sluggish than desire so i doubt legend could beat that. but on the other hand i dont know anything about legen custom development..

I just bought a Desire and am selling me Hero to finance it, well i'm going to use my Desire for a week and see if i like it or if i miss my Hero, as you said the dev scene on the Desire (right now) isn't a patch on the Hero!
I am also concerned about the number of Desire's that are being bricked whilst being rooted and as such won't be rooting mine until they find out why it's happening, tis a bit expensive to turn into a paper weight and if i can't root might stay with Hero because i love ROM flashing . I do realise that they may never find out why though

the usb brick is my biggest concern..
the custom dev will appear i guess in time but im also worried about HTC, how long will they delay froyo for example?
we all have bad experience from HTC with the 2.1 update for hero..
i could buy a cheap hero now and buy the next flagship from HTC ( WITHOUT HARDWARE KEYBOARD )

If you want to save money the buy another hero.
Otherwise not another htc phone.

Perhaps ask dev's like Paul @ Modaco, Nathan @ VillainRom about their thoughts on the bricking subject? (I'm sure they both have Desire's + Behnaam is getting one too)
On the Froyo for Desire it's *due* end of June..
And the Desire with hardware keyboard looks [email protected]$$

Huh? HOW? Where?... I initially paid £230 for my Hero 4-5 months ago, fortunately it had 2 TINY chips on (less than 1mm each), so got £30 back again.

G1 or Hero!

I'm gonna buy a new phone about 2-3 weeks. I've got 2 choices: Google G1 and HTC Hero. Actually, I prefer G1 than. Because It's got qwerty keyboard which very useful for my work . But Only 192mb Ram as 288mb of Hero.
Hero has a 3,5mm audio jack. But If I buy G1, I can use Usb Jack to 3.5mm, not really convenient!
I like Hero's Sense UI and gonna upgrade G1 (If I buy )) to new rom with it inside. As I know, there was some problems like Force Closed, is it?
Is there any 2.1 Rom like Nexus1 on G1 yet? And is it fast?
Hero hardware and looks are perfect for future rom.
So what should I choose you guys plz help me!
I am to receive my G1 this afternoon..
Had a hero before this, and an iphone (both 1st and the 3g) before that.
As you said:
+the G1 has a keyboard and the original android
-G1 less memory
-G1 lacks headphone jack
-G1 is bigger
My reason for switching to the G1 (after selling Hero) is:
The Nexus one. After seeing a 1ghz powered 512MB ram equipped phone web browsing, and coming to the conclusion that even the 2G iphone as a smoother interface, and browser, I knew that my Hero would never be able to do what my iPhone did almost 3 years ago.
So I said, "**** it", if I'm going to be stuck with an ugly-ass phone (brown Hero) until september 2010, then I rather have a REAL ugly-ass phone (G1) instead of a wannabe phone like the Hero.
Hero imo is wannabe because:
-multitouch browser but no multitouch keyboard..
-the photo app are so wannabe, but sub 60fps
-almost everything else
I really detest the Hero interface, especially compared to the slick stock android interface.
The G1 is not afraid of what it is; a Geek phone. I love the bulkyness and the Nerd-design. More than the Hero which doesn't know if it wants to be an iPhone when it grows up..
The memory issue did not bother me that much, The android interface does not allow for real multitasking like the Palm pre anyway, although the notification drawer is a step in the right direction.
But anyway, aside from mp3, browsing and messaging at the same time, I am not going to be multitasking that much anyway.
Conclusion: for me the design, keyboard and the true Android OS instead of Sense UI were the reasons for choosing the G1.
P.S. I have used a Hero from september 2009 until last week.

Just my 2 cents, but I would get the hero, unless you REALLY need that hardware keyboard ...
As you mentioned the Hero has more ram and rom, fixing the shortfalls of the G1 hardware, also it is still unknown whether the G1 will receive an official Android 2.0 update ... whereas the Hero is only a few months old and HTC have already committed to upgrading it to 2.1.
I quite like the Sense UI but other stock Android 1.6 roms are available in the hero section of this board if that's what you want.

i would get the hero. i have the g1 and i wish i could get the hero but i cant.....i really dnt like the g1
I think you should get a 2010 android phone not 09 or 08
I was thinking of getting the HTC Leo or the TP2(WM phones).
hero! get the hero, I would trade my dinky little g1 for one any day. Official 2.1 hero vs. rooted hero for g1 = hero wins. Even the best hero roms on the g1 are just too slow. trust me, get the hero
actually, did you see that roadmap of the new htc phones for 2010, yeah get the snapdragon one! wait it out, don't adopt an old phone
I don't know maybe I'm part of the minority but I like my g1 and it's keyboard. I can text anyone on a hero, N1 and Iphone and still reply and text 5x more over them. When the next android phone with a keyboard comes out I will upgrade.
and hiddengopher if your g1 is slow and dinky it's not the rom's your flashing because my is super fast and sleeky
Maybe I'll buy a Hero, can't wait for new phone in 2010. Don't tell me about MileStone or N1 'coz I don't have that much money and Sense UI impression me after all!
I was tried the qwerty on G1 and find it's hard to type( I have HTC Kaiser before), the soft key on Hero and G1 in landscape mode still good.
If I buy a Hero, I have to wait for money support from my family in about 2 week
P/s: As I know, there are many G1 has been bricked! So I don't want to get risk of it!

htc hero worth the cash?

hey,
I'm currently using lg eve and i'm really interested by htc sense UI and I was wondering is it worth buying since the processor is only 528 MHz plus is the multi touch on the hero similar to the iphone?
-someone might have asked this same question i couldn't find it-(lazy)
lol, i wouldnt have the nexus one ( 1 Ghz) if i could. I love the hero so much, its perfect haha. well, with an update coming in mid february, it will hopefully be perfect;p
id say go for it
and it has capacitive touch screen, so its basically the same sensitivity as the ipodtouch/iphone.
and in browser, 2 finger pinch to zoom, is "almost" as smooth as in the iphone...
if your deciding between iphone/hero... go with the hero, multitasking pwns
No you should get the HTC Legend which is the 2nd gen hero
You can find it here

Absolutely!
Paid fourhundred euros for my first one which I lost The next day I bought another one for 350.

The sense UI doesn't work for me. I don't need 7 homescreens and it slows my phone down. Pleeaase don't compare it to the iPawn. they're two completely different things. but I should tell you that multitouch is enabled by HTC it soesn't work natively in android 1.5, it only works in the browser and in albums
edit: but after the update to 2.0 it will support multitouch!
in my opinion, no its not worth the money i paid, however i have bought one, and will keep it for a while.
you'd be far better off getting a G1 and flashing it to the latest 2.1 rom.

The G1 is indeed a very nice device my father owns one, I find it a little bit too big, but the sliding keyboard is very, very nice!!
I bought mine, I have to say this phone is awesome! You won't regret it after purchasing it.
finaly decided
well, guys I'm getting the hero tomorrow and thanks for the replies, it really made a difference
I love my hero too... it the best phone i ever had!!
side question to all...
I have loveD each of my phone, when i got it.
Every time we get a new phone, it is an upgrade.
so each time.. it would be for a better phone.
so.. would we not love each new phone.. THE BEST!
lol

So what do you think about Sense?
before i used to think htc sense made windows mobile more friendly, but after seeing htc sense on android it was mind blowing, its like best of both worlds

Is the Hero worth buying now?

SO.. as the title says... is the Hero worth buying now?
Also, I`ve read here about some problems with the touch screen that suddenly appear... is that a general issue or just some isolated incidents?
The phone is over a year old now, the CPU is a generation older than the other Android devices with the 1GHz Snapdragon processor. I'm sure the phone manufacturers are preparing the next generation devices for later in the year - making those phones obsolete.
If you're after a cheap device then you should be able to get a Hero second hand for a decent price. If you're willing to root and try new ROMs then there is still a decent community for the Hero - otherwise you'll be stuck on Android 2.1 if you stick with the official updates. The Hero is highly unlikely to get any more updates from HTC.
If your budget allows for a newer phone, then you'd be better off getting a more powerful Android device.
Thanks, I too think that it`s a little old, but it has a fairly good price, almost the same as Wildfire here, where I live, but that qvga screen on the Wildfire is a let down for me.
Alex~ is bang on, it is cheap,and the community on here is great, so if your gona be using custom roms then go for it. But I wouldn't like to say how many devs will still bother with us after Xmas.
If you can put up ur budget, do that.

Tru, there are better phones available if buying new, but it's more than competent if second hand.
I'll be about till May 2011 with my hero anyway, as my contract expires then. And even then, the hero is popular enough to merit continued support i reckin.
Hi I just bought one off eBay about a month old for £150 took a bit time to root and get used to Android, but worth it and its ok for price with lots of features. Although I think I now should have gone for HTC Legend?

Not to mention that there is no other Android phone with as cool appearance as that of a black Hero (the european version, not the US Sprint's ugly cousin). I held the Desire in my hands and played with it a bit, but although it was blazingly fast, it didn't strike me as something I'd want.
What I will want next year is a Hero-shaped phone with modern hardware.
Would not recommend ebay.
Three are selling reconditioned £159.99 with £10 credit and can be unlocked from ebay for £6.50. Also £12 cashback if you go through Quidco.
Hope this helps.
Well the community for it is quite huge. Ofc it will slim when others move to newer phones, but I guess there are folks who got a 2 year contract (me being one of them, hehe )

I agree completely, imo the only other phone that looks as good or better than the Hero is the Legend. A Hero-shaped super phone would be amazing

they've released the htc wildfire which is very much just a repackaged hero... i have no idea why they did it. it lacks all the style and class of the hero and only has an fm radio to make up for it.
Well if you root your Hero and overclock it, it pretty much becomes a Legend. Without the better screen and slimer profile. I want the Desire but got the HTC Hero this year because it just looked awesome (unfortunately Canadian carriers screw you over with 3 year contracts instead of two ) but I do love my Hero as it is my first smart phone and I love the 'chin'.
It is a matter of preference so the choice in the end is yours, but we do have Feeyo .
The design really stands out yea. People are always like "hey, what kind of phone is that?" while my brother gets none and has a desire
I think there are too many phones who are desire-like look at first look. Hero really stands out

I get that a bit. Although the only smartphone that really has any recognition here in NZ is the iPhone. I imported my phone as we don't even have a decent range of Android phones (at reasonable prices). I mean... we JUST got the Nexus One which Google just stopped selling? lol.
But I only recently got my hero (a month ago now?) and i'm happy with my purchase. I mean... there's other purchases that could be had. I almost got a Milestone but the keyboard really put me off (played with my mates', it was a terrible keyboard.. the buttons are so stiff it isn't funny). I mean... I noticed a price drop of the Milestone shortly after I purchased my Hero but.. Eh, I can't complain. Bigger screen/higher res would've been nice though. Specs aren't really much more to write home about though.
Hero was reasonably priced, looks good, performs well enough. My only real annoyances about it are: No official Froyo, smaller screen/lower-resolution than others, can't run some newer games which i probably wouldn't play much anyway.
I'll probably upgrade next year when I have lots of money

HTC Hero is still good?

Hi, a few days ago, I found in a shop, an HTC Hero at 199€
Is this a good price?
I would like to buy it, but i have some question:
1- The low RAM slows down the phone?
2- The videos are shot at only 10 fps, it' s not possible to increare that at 30fps?
3- What is the max stable OverClock you can do?
4- Are there any ROM with A2SD?
Thanks in advance for the response
P.S. I also have an LG Optimus ONE.

1. the ram is 288 and it dose not slow the phone
2. the videos are shot @ 30 fps
3. i use the phone stable @ 748 Mhz
4. yes there are a lot of them
i recommend to buy another phone because the hero has already 2 years... look for a desire at least

I have another question; the HTC Hero can record video in HD 720p?
What is the best record video resolution?
Sell your LG and put that money with the 199E and buy something more up to date. You can buy a* Desire for pretty much 199E
EDIT: *used
Don't buy a Hero. It's just too old. And that's not even a god price You could get a Desire for that
Depends what you want an android phone for, but I agree that it's better now to look for something newer. The Hero struggles with modern apps e.g. Angry Birds and can't play flash etc because of hardware limitations. I might snap up another one up in a fire sale for 100 or less (for my dad, for example) because other than being underpowered it's actually not so bad with a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM (except battery life, which is a bit poor), but at 200 you're better off investing that toward something that's going to give you more use into the future.
The only thing I'd specifically recommend getting a Hero for is for audio-recording your calls: there's a Hero-specific exploit that allows the free rVoix app to do that once the phone is rooted.

Yep like said before, don't buy the hero anymore .
If you are on a low budget go for the htc wildfire S or Samsung galaxy gio.
Or go for a second hand desire hd or something like that.
It's a good phone if you buy it for the right price. I won one for just under £100 on eBay, already with a custom ROM installed (it's vanilla so I'm not keeping it, but the advantage is it's already set up for me to install my choice of ROM) and I think it'll be a good on-the-cheap HTC. A Desire costs about £160 if you want one in decent condition, which is almost £100 more than a Hero.
I have a Hero bought in oct-09 and I'm planning to buy a new one (galaxy sii?) before christmas because it's got too slow for heavy use, the hero was a good one until htc gave up with updates (a few months after my purchase?), if you want to root it or as your first smartphone it still could be a good choice, though €200 is not really a bargain. however my partner has a Wildfire which I rate one of the worst smartphone around! actually the hero, although one year older, is much better in nearly everything, looking at the wildfire display is something painful. in the end, you always get what you spend... besides that, I now dont like HTC that much...

Definitely avoid. Take a good look at a Desire if you can, or a Desire HD in great condition if you can stretch it. The Desire with its low memory might start to get stretched soon however, but the Desire HD still sits with the best of them if you flash custom ROMs.

Suggestions don't buy
The Hero is nice if you get it for free. The phone is almost 3 years old already and indeed the Wildfire S is about the same price you are saying. So go for that to have more support for the current apps.
On the Hero Google Maps 5.5.0 is the last version that runs fine on it. But the current version is 5.9.0. So if you want to have your phone for about 2 years. Then do NOT go for a Hero but something else.
The Hero is easy in modifying (Custom roms and stuff) but that will come for the newer phones pretty soon. Since HTC is more nice to devs

I think this sums it up perfectly really.
Best thing, in the situation outlined above, where you get the phone free, just run CM7 on it. It will be buttery smooth
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but when I see a Hero (I saw one earlier today), even with my DHD...there is something about it that just makes me want one!

Is it worth upgrading to an HTC Evo 3D

So the HTC Evo 3D seems still to be sold for a low price. Lowest price I found was € 269 and now it went to € 289
And the current price off the HTC Desire HD in the same shop is € 295.
So as far I know the HTC Evo 3D got an 1.2Ghz dual core and an 960x540 screen resolution, further it has 1024MB ram and a 3D screen.
And bluetooth 3.0 and a frontcam which the HTC Desire HD has not. So that is the general difference. And I would say getting about € 200 for my HTC Desire HD should still be possible.
But is it worth? I would still be investing almost € 100 then and there seems to be not so much different, in fact the camera on HTC Evo 3D is 5MP, but it has 3D recording possibilities.
I see the Evo 3D has no unibody design like our HTC Desire HD.
Well, you'll have awful battery life, a bulkier device, and a pointless 3D screen.
IMO, not much if an upgrade. Stick with your phone, it still has a long life ahead, and save up for a newer HTC flagship (One X etc)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Yes its heavier indeed I read. First I though it had an unibody design to, but it doesn't have it. I also already decided that it would not be worth upgrading.
I was only thinking of buying it because priced drop so much, its right now even cheaper then a new HTC Desire HD.
I also think in terms of design the HTC Desire HD looks much better.
I agree, it's not worth it. I would prefer to buy an HTC Sensation XE.
Or save the money for the next HTC devices (One X, One S).
Answer: Nah

Best thing would be ofcourse keeping the HTC Desire HD after my contract ends and using a cheap prepaid sim card for just being reachable.
As I always use rynga.com for calling. But the DHD is still good and as long it keeps working then I have nothing to worry about.
if you where going from a nokia brick to evo 3D, then yes
from dhd to evo 3d, nope.
€295? really expensive.. I bought my one at €130 last month.. and €99 today without a contract.

You mean the Desire HD? I don't think the new price off HTC Desire HD will be so low, but you are from Korea so it could be that you pay much less there.
But 50% less looks alot to me. The Evo3D is really cheap on the moment, but reason for it seems that it was not selling good.

Do you think that is worth? I could try put it on internet for about € 200 and be happy if I get € 200 for it.
So then I would still need add € 89 by myself and main difference between HTC Desire HD is the CPU and RAM and screen, the rest is not much difference, the DHD even got a 8MP camera and the Evo3d got 5MP.
Its not a bad phone the Evo3D, but its not without reason its being sold for so low price. Because I also see this device doesn't have custom roms like the HTC Sensation has, there are some custom roms but its not same as our DHD, for the Evo3d there is right now not even a ics sense rom.
So I think its not worth really, but if my DHD would break then I would buy it right away as its a good deal right now, but the HTC One X and HTC One S will be released also soon.

You're right, lack of roms is unacceptable cons. I forgot where we're

If you want to root and install custom ROM, it's better to keep the DHD.
In the new line of HTCs, One X, S and V, there's one that is completely compatible with DHD, namely HTC One V, with just slight difference in camera resolution (DHD got better camera than OneV).
Let's hope that there's a developer in XDA that might pick this up and port it into DHD with all the ICS+Sense 4 goodness.
Officially, DHD would get ICS as well, though I doubt they would give sense4 into it, most likely just sense3.5.
Yes if we look to custom roms then our DHD got more options. But a good ICS rom for the DHD is there right now not yet.
If I look to another aspect off buying a Evo3d then I not only see a better phone, but also warranty for 2 years.
Selling my DHD and buying an Evo3d would not be to bad at all. I need to consider that if my DHD breaks that its nothing worth at all, but on other side it should still keep working for awhile and buying the Evo3d right now will not be a good idea, because there already annouced the new HTC top devices.
I guess I just keep mine DHD till at least my contract is finished, I still have until half October until my contract finishes and be honest most off days lately I'm not using my phone much.
Of course get a sensation /Xe or wait for The One X evo 3d is not worth a gange from a dhd besides some users have reported that they felt a little bit dizy after looking to 3D pics because u dont use a 3d glasses with this phone
I gave my gf an sensation lol. So I bought one but gave it as present and I will just keep using my DHD.
When I switched from iPhone 3G to DHD that was like I entered heaven, but I think an upgrade will not have that experience anymore and our DHD will still function very good.

Are u serious? HTC Sensation is quiet better than Desire HD. If u go to Sensation forum u see a lot of great Roms with ICS + Sense 3.6 and Sense 4.0. Why don't u change with your girlfriend and play with Sensation 4 awile until your contract finish?

Hahaha she will scold me, she doesn't want a used phone and when I bought her the Sensation I though it was better then buying the DHD because the Sensation cost not so much more.
And also its rude to give someone your used phone as Christmas present. I let her Sensation just stock because its not mine but hers so I didn't root it or put a custom rom on it.
I don't consider the Sensation worth to upgrade and only reason I was considering the HTC Evo3d is because its practical an HTC Sensation in terms off specification, but its price is much cheaper right now, but I can see its not a good phone if you like have newer Android version, as certain parts in ports for evo3d are not working good.
But they do have an Sense 4.0 port right now, that's further then the DHD is, we only have an ics sense 3.6 rom which got no internet connectivity. No I really think I can stick with mine DHD, I only still have 8 months to go on my contract and I think the DHD still will do a good job. We already have asop ics.

I've wanted to buy an HTC Sensation, but i changed my mind when i saw the new HTC One devices.
Well not long ago we just had some Sensation roms, so in terms off software we are not so much behind and we will get an official ICS.
Yes HTC One serie looks great.
