Hello everyone! I have been a die hard hero user since the hero was released. I loved that little guy and thanks to all of you here at xda, my Hero was the funnest "phone" I have ever had.
Oh well you can't stop EVO-lution right? hahahaha OMG I love my EVO even more than I first loved my Hero!
Shout to Koni for making my Hero Hot back in the day(a year ago hahaha) and now making my EVO Elite.
run over by a car? poor Hero was destroyed!
I have a hero. You had no choice but to move up.
my 7 yr old girl.. is have a great time with my old hero... (no cell service)
I loved my Hero, it was revolutionary just like the EVO is/was. It's funny though, you didn't think the Hero was slow until you used the EVO
i loved my hero when i had it, shoooot, it even has gingerbread. i had to switch to a blackberry cuz something happened and i didnt wanna put a claim. 2 more months and i get an evo

In two months, it will be May... You might as well wait an extra 30~60 days and get the Evo's (or the Epic's) successor.

ding ding ding ding we have a winner! That's exactly what happened hahaha
I came here from a Hero as well. I upgraded to the Evo and gave my Hero to my girlfriend. When she had me look at her phone for some reason I suddenly realized how small the Hero was. There's no way I could go back now. LOL
Welcome to what is probably the best section of the forums I've ever been to (coming from T-Mobile and their MyTouch Slide and G2 forums here). The death of your hero is a travesty and we shall all mourn it's passing.
I am also an occasional Elite user (I flash back and forth between that and MikFroyo), the guy does some great work.

I saw this tweet earlier today.....how gay. The EVO and every other phone being shipped out get the upgrade except us. I'm getting really sick of these companies just ditching the stuff that's already out there when it's not really even an outdated phone. This was tweeted from Sprint

Some of us can't afford to keep getting a new phone every 6 months sir. I just got the Hero a few months ago and I'm not spending 500 for a ****in phone. I can do alot more with 500 then buy yet another phone. Bottom line, there's no reason to abandon the Hero yet. If they bothered giving it 2.2 it'd run a ****load better. Yes, I realized I was in the wrong section afterwards but this one is bookmarked, my fault.
Moved as not Android Development.

I can't stop laughing...
But yeah, we won't officially get it, but we will get it.
well sprint can try to lease us in the cold, but the legend will get froyo in the next few weeks and it will get ported to the hero, so we will see the htc version of froyo...LOL
Sammy is an angry Guy.
By the way, I have a friend on Facebook who says froyo will be ob the hero.

Now I cant stop laughing.
Just a few months ago, before we knew the Evo was coming out, many of you were not bashing your phone. Now, all of a sudden alot of threads on here peopleare bashing the Hero. You bought the phone. You had 30 days to return it, yet you chose to keep it. If you hate the Hero, shut the F**K up and get you a damn EVO or something else and move over to their forum. I'm sure you will find something wrong with it also.
Yes, my Hero might not be getting 2.2, but the Devs are working on it and have most of it completed. I'll have it on my phone regardless. The problem with our phone is HTC does not want to make Sense work with 2.2 on our phone as it will probably slow it down. You can blame HTC and not Sprint.
I never bashed my Hero. I love my Hero. I just want an Evo. Nothing wrong with that.
After a chat with a Sprint rep. I was told there was no news regarding 2.2. I asked about the tweet and was told that the info regarding 2.2 not being available for the Hero or Moment was wrong and to "ignore this information."
Gasp indeed Sprint. Gasp indeed...
Then there is hope o:
of course the sprint rep told you that. After the beating Sprint is taking in their own forums I expect nothing less
well Sprint Barely gave us 2.1 not to mention they skipped all by 2.0. Every body was ranting and raging about that. Now theres a new version coming out your ranting again... wow. The eyes of men are truly never satisfied
but dont let me fail to mention. What sprint want do, we have some genious developers here that will do it. Therefore, i want complain. I have froyo on my hero already and its beautiful.......
The funny thing is that they claim there are hardware compatibility issues (processor, etc.) that prohibit the Hero from running Froyo. LOL
Ok So I just sold my Nexus and my Vibrant got here today.
I love it. There is a lot to love about this phone.
First the screen is amazing.
I love how the phone is light yet solid.
I think what I really most about this device is that if it breaks I can take it to a store and get it replaced. With my Nexus if something went wrong, I had to send it in to HTC and wait for them to send it back, me phoneless the whole time.
I have yet to notice the lag issues others complain about and I don't miss the trackball or the camera flash at all.
Clockwork is getting a recovery going and Wes Garner is Deving for it.
All is well in the world of Vibrant and I have not a single regret!
Awesome welcome aboard

I too sold my n1 for the vibrant and I made agiod choice... I to like if it breaks much easier replaced...
Welcome to the Vibrant side! I'm still having a hard time selling my 3 week old Nexus One I only used it for 2 weeks worth. Never hacked or Rooted, and I have no bites. Oh well.... If I can't sell it I guess I now own 2 badass phones?

Heh, I got rid of my EVO for the Vibrant! A bit smaller screen, but SO much better! I can't wait for CM6.
Well I bought the Vibrant on day 1 of release..still have my N1, have a MyTouch Slide (my daughter is using it) and still have my G1 as well. I guess you can say I'm an Android phone collector. Whatever this "super phone" is that's rumored to be coming out in September..if its running Android I will add it to my collection as well.

+1 can't get over the speed .. and the screen is like
I still have my N1.. It is sitting in my car in my cool N1 car kit... I use it as a GPS and movie player for the kids... I am still up in the air on which phone I like better..
the Samsung because of the screen.. the N1 because of the trackball and 2.2...
I think the biggest selling points for me were:
TV out
In store customer service.
The screen.
That being said the N1 is an awesome device but right now is the time to sell it and it still have some resale. With Google Washing their hands of it, I fear what the Support will be like. I also like the dedicated GPU in the Vibrant and believe that once Wesgarner and company get CM 6 on it, it will be the fastest damn thing out there, till that dual core HTC Monster hits, anyway!

lol no. i was in dover nh when i got it. i love the phone just my Flash is broken.
Welcome. At the time, I really enjoyed my HTC Hero. I previously had an HTC Touch with a winblows OS, so android was a wow moment for me.
There's alot of great devs and support for the EVO. It think it what sets this phone apart from any other. Good luck and enjoy (when you get your flash fixed).

im a Sense freak. i am gonna go with myn's warm rls5 with slayer69 cyan dragon theme.
i was thinking if i tried to flash it to see if i liked it and to see if it would fix my LED flash problem. but idk how to UNROOT the evo like i did with the hero. cause idk where to get the RUU for the evo. its on there main site for the hero but not the evo. just tells me how to hard reset by holding the volume down and power on and clean drive.
If you want instructions on how to unroot the EVO this thread on this site talks about it and has links to instructions on what you need to do.

I've had an EVO since launch day but I just bought my dad one over the week. He's upgrading from the RUMOR so it's a big step up for him. Radioshack had a promo over the weekend. Turn in your old phone and credit a $50 dollar credit for either a new EVO or EVO shift. So total it was only $150 plus tax out the door.
Also new to the EVO forums, got it today, cant wait to get home an root-root-root.
And flush my Hero into a drawer for emergencies.
I'll be seeing ya'll around here. ;-)

Welcome, I love my EVO
First time poster, long time reader, just wanted to hi and that this forum site is awesome. I rooted my phone three days ago and today I'm running and loving mikfroyo 4.5. Thanks to all!!
Welcome, try cm 7
I bought an Evo almost entirely because of our dev community.
Currently running MikFroyo 4.5 with Slayer's Dragon Theme (it is badASS) but I've run quite a few others. Huge CM fan (it's been on all my rooted phones at some point.
Great devs, great phone, adequate service. Yeah, I love my Evo
Plus, we have a Honeycomb rom being cooked up by AndroidBall. Excited about that as well
lucky you. i cant run the slayer69 dragon theme. its a SICK SICK theme toon. it just keeps crashing on me. but
Welcome to this old decrepit phone. In few months I'll be ditching mine. I'm just waiting to see what radio hacks develop for the cdma iphone.
I am sad to say that my hero is now going to be retired. The screen somehow broke and now only the bottom half works. Goodbye hero, you will be missed. T.T
Oh well, getting an E3D in a week or sooner

I was kinda sad also they day I retired my hero.. ( didnt break,, just moved on ).. Right now its my 8 yr old's angry birds slash mp3 player..
I was so sad to see mine go... it was two days ago. I love my evo but my hero was great....
I'd just like to say WOW - I had a HTC Hero GSM (G2 touch i guess as I am from the uk and it was on tmo ) I've now got a desire, but you know what I actually miss the hero, it was my little Hero - I had it running faster (appearance - not clock speed) than the wildfire and the wildfire S (I used to tease my mates about it LOADS) I loved that little thing. Ok so I like the desire, its got better hardware yes, but I really dont care, and I'm glad we are getting ICS going on it, but at the end of the day its just a phone now. My ikkle Hero was never just a phone to me it was a HERO
Anyway I just decided to pop my head in and see if any1 was still developing for it, and wow am I surprised! it's got loads of people still keeping that awesome phone going! my congrats to the devs too for starting to look at ICS for the Hero! and to everyone else who it keeping it going.... I am impressed, and wish I had never given the hero to my g/f (now ex who bloody sold it for £50 -____- ).
I guess this thread has no real purpose... I just wanted to say well done people, and dont put your Hero down coz others have "better" phones, its all perspective. For the hardware the Hero has, it does so so sooooooo well.
Over and out
One Up for that
Some weeks ago my Desire just broke and I had to switch back to my old Hero.
I allways was interested in CustomRoms but never switched because I didnt wanted to lose warranty. But with the Hero already being out of warranty I started trying out Roms
Just great what the community is able to do with that hardware. So much better than the manufacturers rom. Current, faster and more functions build in.
If my desire wouldnt be repaired I would happily stay with the Hero.
But now I think I will give it to my g/f
regards
st
Well, I'm also back for a while only phone ever w/h (major) problems... though I miss the performance and size of my HOX..
