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.
Milestone...
+1 other
nexus one.
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

Both of those are downgrades, IMO. Why would you want to take a step backwards device-wise, even for a little extra money? Remorse is sure to ensue.
Vibrant is cheap plastic, and lots of issues with that phone (CPU lag, major GPS problems) and there is less developer support on XDA for Samsung phones. HD2 is old hardware, that phone was released Nov. 2009.
Check out this post by another guy that traded his G2 for the Vibrant, and totally regrets it. Don't be him.

Than try Desire HD, HD7, Evo Shift, Thunderbolt or something similar, but not outdated phones like HD2 ;-) And Samsung is not a choice at all IMO. Low quality, cheap plastic, disposable toys. They could'nt even make their own design and copy-cat'ed an iPhone.

If you like trying new phones, the HD2 doesn't qualify. Its a very old phone. 14 month old hardware may as well be 10 years in the smartphone business.
And a Android port is never going to run as well as a phone that is designed to run Android natively. So don't think that you will really have an Android phone on your hands if you buy an HD2 and flash an Android port. Old hardware that runs a very outdated OS, that also has the ability to run an Android port = not worth it.
I'm actually getting an HD2 to run Android and ditching my G2. It has the same hardware as my N1, which is running wonderfully and is a year old now, so I am not worried. I want the big screen, dual LED flash, and the Desire HD ROM. I've been waiting for T-Mo to announce a 4.3" HTC phone but who knows if it'll even happen at MWC so I am using the HD2 to hold me over until one ever comes to T-Mo.
just thought i'd let you guys know, i got the hd2 and am now running CM7 on NAND. its amazing. i love it
I had the hd2 before i got my z and it is a good phone with good support on xda. I just couldnt get used to its size. The z just "feels" better.
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.

Yes... the HTC HERO has already 2 years, and the HTC Desire is better, but it costs more
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.

Well, P&P aside, I paid about £90, which is 70%, and I'd say that's almost 100%.
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!
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).

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.

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.
