Well i guess this will be a bit bummer for you. You can connect a BT headset, BUT file transfer is not working
The only way to get it working is to root phone and use a custom rom that supports BT. (Vanillain?)

It should be said that this is a limitation of Android 1.5 - it doesn't support bluetooth file transfer. Whilst there are some attempts to solve this problem, it should go away entirely once we get the official Android 2.1 update as this has better bluetooth support.

It's not the sort of update that you'll ever find on the Market - it's a complete new version of the OS (Android 2.1).
Not every phone is getting OS upgrades, but HTC have announced that Hero will be getting 2.1 and currently evidence seems to suggest it will be released some time in March.
If you keep an eye on these forums, you'll know pretty much instantly when 2.1 for Hero is available.

thanx!
hope it comes soon cause i want my BT to work!
will HTC make it's own 'sense' like the TF3D in the android system on the Hero?

Sence widgets on android home.

Hi,
New guy here so go easy.
I am running an HTC tattoo and am not a big fan of the Sense gui so I have reverted back to the android. However I would like use of some of the HTC widgets. Is there anyway to use these with just the standard GUI?

I tried doing this some weeks ago, and it won't work. The HTC Widgets won't be available on the Android Home. Unless other know of a way to get it to work...

noob Android question about f/w and Home screen

hi all
am a new Android owner with a HTC Legend.
one thing thats confusing me is that..yes the system reports the firmware as 2.1
however, of all the Android 2.1 clips I've seen...mostly of the Nexus1, there are 5 home screen pages, saw a diagonal ribbon type thing on a Doid stock 2.1 video, a button to open the apps page instead of the drawer, with the apps page being a 3d wheel kinda thing....and so on.
Now, with the Legend, once HTC Sense is disabled, i get Andoid's original (i think) Home screen. this shows up as 'Home version 7' under Manage applications.
And it's NOTHING like what i've seen of 2.1. it looks basic, not so different from one of the earliest versions that ran on an emulator on windows.
the only thing i can make of this...is that f/w 2.1 and Home version 7 are different things. much like HTC Sense is different from f/w 2.1..in that they're both just skins and can be different versions independent of the f/w as long as its supported to run.
can someone clarify?
thank you.

doesnt anyone know?
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere...

HTC Legend doesn't have live wallpapers.

ahh so all that I described is part of the live wallpaper?
thanks for clearing that up

[Q] Launch Car Panel manually

Hello there,
as there are several builds of android floating around the forum, some do have a "car panel" shortcut amongst the programs and other builds do not.
Since the GPS is working and gmaps navigation too, i like this car panel very much but on my favourite buld, the mattc 1.4 i can´t find how to launch the car panel
Any suggestions?
best regards...
p.s. sorry for my bad english :-D

Chances are that car panel was not pre-installed on your build.

I'm just wondering, because i do have settings form car panel...
Is there anders apk form car panel?

I am not sure if you can switch to default or anything, but there are heaps of sms apps on the market, a couple of which are pretty good - once installed you can make it the 'default' app, disable notifications in the htc version and away you go.

Using the stock keyboard
I'm not sure what the old keyboard you were looking for looks like, but I was successful at adding the stock keyboard (with voice input) back as noted in my recent post in the thread titled "Froyo 2.2 Keyboard APK" (post 20).
Sense was was a great improvement for WinMo, but the UI kind of sucks (imho) for Android. I upgraded to the FroyoStone update the other day and it seemed more stable (less SoD, that's for sure). But the HTC junk scattered across the UI ruined it for me.

the darkstone thread has a link for the apk of the kb youre looking for. search don't ask they'll bite your head off
