Just got my new Galaxy Nexus today so have to say good buy to my Hero but I will be selling it to my flat mate for £45, Thanks to all the devs that created the ROM's and thanks to any one that gave me support even when I asked stupid questions but I'm so glad to have a new phone that is fast but I will always remember my Hero as it was my first Android phone and I loved it .
Same story here. It started on Android 1.5. Now it runs ginger 2.3.5. Quite a lot of updates i would say. Best phone...

I agree...
Jep its sad to say but Hero is slowly getting to old.
Maybe I give him a bite of IceCreamSandwich and try going with it, if it turns out ICS is his Kryptonite and makes my Hero weak and slow.
I will release him and he has to stay on Gingerbread.
I'm also waiting for a Galaxy Nexus to retire the HTC Hero.
After that, I'll try out different Roms that may not be so stable.
I'm going to try some Roms with updated HTC Sense versions.
Still using Hero but with Custom Rom Elelinux-7.1. Speed is not too bad after OC, but definitely can't run any 3D or heavy app.

Ditto, had my Galaxy Nexus a couple of weeks ago, holding my Hero now it feels tiny! And thick lol. (that sounded a bit dodgy..)
Anyway yeh it was a great phone, I shall miss it!
Aww man, this phone is legend you shouldn't had sell it, I'm going to keep mine forever till it dies. I'm now using the ICS 4.0.1 rom from Glassmacka and it's quite stable and fast. Not for daily usage yet though. But it's nice to see it work so well on it.
ICS rom for Hero
Same here, not long got an upgrade to an HD Desire, Thanks Elelinux for the great Roms, gonna miss coming to this part of the forum.
i'm sad to say that you may be right about the hero being 'past its sel by date'. i remember when you could have a phone for 3 or 4 years and it would still be considered a good phone but nowadays with the amount of competition it seems something new and 'improved' comes out every week.
i'm actually considering getting a new phone myself but for the life of me i can't decide what to get.
currently i'm thinking about getting either the iPhone 4s (i can see me getting some hate for even mentioning that but i like the apps haha), HTC Sensation XE or HTC Sensation XL
what are your opinions on those phones?? perhaps you could help me decide?????

Well, the XE isn't THAT bad, but unless you really want HTC I would go for something else. Galaxy Nexus is nice, but you might want to take a look at the sgs2 as it has better gpu than the nexus and the price has dropped a bit and I hate iPhone, so yeah I usually say iPhone is for those who cannot use Android (from the android is for those who cannot afford iPhone thingy ) ...

Google Exec Hints at Why Nexus One Was Leapfrogged by HTC Incredible, Evo 4G
http://googlewatch.eweek.com/content/android_vs_iphone/google_exec_hints_at_why_nexus_one_was_leapfrogged_by_htc_incredible_evo_4g.html
"Nexus One isn't a failure so much as a casualty of the success of the next wave of Android smartphones. In a few months, I'm sure we'll be saying the same things about the Incredible and the Evo 4G."
Some people may be bothered with this, but I am happy with my Nexus One. I have no buyers remorse.
I don't view my N1 as obsolete in any way at all and am quite happy with it, it's no worse than the Incredible and all aspects of the device ooze performance
phones are starting to become like computers now. as soon as you buy one a new and better one comes out tomorrow.
and what sucks about is...you're suck with a 2 year contract.
So adding two features equals "leapfrogged" now?
What a load of crap. Who has FroYo now? Yeah, that's what I thought.
I always f*cking hate these posts. I really don't want to hear doom and gloom.
Definitely don't feel any remorse.
My phone is JUST as good as the ones that are coming out NOW.
Yea, 8MP cam + dual flash, but cmon, the pictures are hardly better.
Plus the nexus LOOKS better than both of those.

SERIOUSLY, people are rediculous....... I stayed with DDR400 until DDR32000 came out because it was a serious step up...... There is nothing that screams "OH MY GOD INNOVATION" about either phone..... My next phone will be when my Nexus no longer has the NAND capacity for the current Android version. I love my Nexus
i'm with mortzz on this one. we have a phone that we can do whatever we want to do to it. i'd MUCH rather have this. i'm on the fence about the evo, but until we can get real system access (yeah, i saw the root article, but i'll believe it when i see it), custom ROM's, etc, i'll stick with the N1. which, btw, is STILL the sexiest phone i've ever seen. girl i'm seeing has the incredible, and...no thanks. not in comparison. it's a nice phone, if you have to have verizon. but, i don't
i do however have to get a sprint device. so...i may have to break contract with tmo and get the evo. otherwise, my school is going to stick me with the freaking touch pro 2 as my pager. lord what a step back that will be. but, at least if i take that, i can keep my N1
Uh. What?
Incredible and Evo won't get FroYo until the end of this year.
How about we come back to this article then so we can point and laugh?
Having root >>>> anything else.
Have any high-end phones since the Nexus achieved full root? I mean cracked bootloader and all. Desire, Legend, new Droids - none have the kind of access we do. Heck, we may have the best fully root-able hardware HTC will ever release.
I dont think the Incredible is any better than the N1, i've played witht he incredible and it feels cheap plastic like and the camera sucks as well. I like the feel of the N1 and like the looks of it. The Evo is a whole different story...

They have "root" meaning they have su permissions. AFAIK they don't have write permissions to the partitions, so it's pretty worthless.
Only thing i regret about my Nexus One is that apparently the Desire and Incredible both have touchscreens that fixed the multitouch issues.
Other than that the idea of having basically a google developement phone surpasses any of the other current phones, maybe when we see a decent hardware upgrade, then it will be a different story, but hopefully Google continues to make new Nexus phones.

That is sad. So they have the same MT issue as us, a much smaller dev front, usb-bricking issues while flashing roms, no full solution for being rooted/unlocked...took htc ages to release the kernel...they won't see froyo for ages (officially).

How many points does a Galaxy register again? I'm guessing more than 2
In the UK, the N1/Desire is still the King. Desire = UK incredible, but is LITERALLY an N1, and I doubt we will ever see the Evo here [not even a whisp of 4g network].
Even if they did, all the incredible has is the less buggy touch matrix, although this has been nicely 'fixed' in froyo. The evo is a different breed of phone, id never buy it purely based on the fact that i like thinks to fit in my pocket xD
Until I see a snapgradon 1.3+, 1GB RAM, a TRUE 8mp+ cam, froyo, new gen OLED/better, my N1 can sleep with my girl any day.
that makes two of us i love man I LOVE MY NEXUS ONE
the video is @ livestream.com/disrupt/video?clipId=pla_cfa02640-01dd-4ac5-bba9-a2a2b0feee24
haha my friend was a tad jealous of me. he has the Hero and i like his sense ui. but the minute froyo came out, i installed it. i showed him how i can play hulu, i showed him that i got live wallpapers (of course he doesn't have 2.1) and the rest of the froyo goodness. and outta jealousy, he was like "oh well im gonna get a phone thats better than that. im give to get the Evo 4G that has everything the nexus one has and more, including Android 2.2" and i was like "riiiiight. just like the hero was supposed to (officially) get 2.1 right?" and he stood quiet lol idk about all of you guys but i don't really care for 2 led lights. im good with just one. as for 4G, i like to have the freedom to switch between my N1, my BB Curve 8310, and my iPhone 3GS with the simple swap of a SIM card so im great with my Sexy Nexy
First day using my new Desire today...thought i would post my thoughts as i was very hesitant i would be impressed with it vs my awesome Hero!
Firstly the speed of the Desire is phenomenal! I mean the Hero isn't slow and, if anything, is getting faster with every new rom but this thing is like rapid in all aspects!
The screen is beautiful! Again the Hero is really good but the AMOLED on the Desire is far better than i anticipated!
Build quality wise the thing is solid - iPhone esq (never had an iPhone myself) Hero is put together fantastically well too but the Desire is another level!
But finally....i miss my Hero not sold it yet and i'm not sure how long it will take me to 'let go' lol...when i do R.I.P my Hero, best phone i ever had! And major kudos and thanks to all the devs for their ongoing work with making the Hero dev scene the best around (controversial i'm sure lol) hope to see some of you guys over in the Desire dev scene one day
Peace out!
Nice post. Enjoy TRAITOR! Rofl, I kid.

Nah, am happy with it...not feeling the Evo 4G and the Desire with keyboard (forgive me i forget the name) is just a Desire with a keyboard?? Plus i get free upgrade in November so can go again
Wrong forum?
I have similar experience with my almost 2 weeks old Desire.
I'm glad to see that there is a huge community developing for the Hero, making it much faster and much more usable. But the speed of the Desire (and perhaps other Android phones with newer hardwares) is just way way way faster than the Hero can ever be, and the larger screen makes the touch screen keyboard much better.
Having said that, I do think the Desire look a bit dull on the design. I like the way the Hero and the Legend look... I wish they had made the Legend with a bigger screen and put the Snapdragon in it. But the speed of the Desire just make the phone much more usable and enjoyable to use, and it is really hard to go back to use my Hero.
why not the nexus one??
if you don't feel like selling your hero, you can gift it to one of your favoured hero dev so he can use it as a development device

So I just played with an N1 for the very first time and must say I wish this phone had come to Sprint as planned a few months back.
While I love my Evo there's just something about the N1 I like more. The trackball for notifications is wicked and the size is just right. I love the size of the screen on Evo but after all this time I still can't get comfortable using it as a phone.
Anyone else wish the Nexus were available as a cdma?

Nexus/Evo same phone pretty much. The nexus has a amoled display and stock Android 2.2. Other than that the Evo is the same thing as the nexus pretty much just with a few upgrades and extras when it comes to hardware, so in actuality, you sort of already have a nexus one sort of on steroids
Sent from my DAMN Evo!!
Wait until the N2 comes out then you'll really have phone envy. That thing is prime to be a benchmark just as the N1 was
I had the nexus 1 and gave it to my girlfriend when the evo came out. I am a sense lover so i liked the evo a lot when it came out. Stable Sense wasnt ported to the n1 at that time. Now though whenever i hold my girls n1 i am envious. It feels perfect in the hand. Yes i like the trackball too. great for typos in the middle of a sentence. all the different trackball notifications are great too. A differnt color for every scenario. i loved the N1 docks (home and car) too. The only thing i disliked about the n1 was the screen. While it looked great indoors, outside you couldnt see anything, I mean nothing at all. It was like the screen was turned off. the N1 has some crazy talented devs too. Cant wait till next week. Hopefully the Nexus 2 rumor isnt a rumor and it'll be available with gingerbread next week.
Yeah I felt the N1 its nice in hand but once you go 4.3 you cant go back.
I would give up my Evo for a Nexus One any day... I love that phone!!! =)
Still wish I could have one, but they are really hard to find and quite expensive! Even after all this time!

The nexus 2 isn't coming out next week >< I read where it was just delayed due to hardware issues.
Besides, it's made by samsung...so IMO either get a nexus 1 or stick with the evo.
The Nexus2 or Nexus S so its called... will likely not hold a candle to either. All the hype from Samsung about the galaxy S phones and none of them are all the good.... in fact I think they are just now getting froyo.. imagine how long it will take for them to get gingerbread... if they ever do!
Sorry for the rant, but IMO there will never be another phone as good as the nexus1

I'm with ya. I'm fairly anti-samsung when it comes to Android phones. They just feel cheap and have always had very limited support by the development community and Samsung themselves. Not very experienced with moto androids but HTC builds a pretty reliable Android phone.

+1 I love HTC phones, I will say that sometimes their build quality feels rushed.. but they pump out a lot of phones. My hero and evo have had great DEV support and HTC does a pretty decent job with updates.
Samsung, IMO, is the worst when it comes to quality, dev support and updates... it's just not a good idea to have samsung make a 2nd generation nexus IMO... so so sad
i cant say i like the galaxy series, the epic feels cheap and somewhat clunky to me, htc phones have their problems as well but i'd take htc over sammy any day, it seems crazy that just a few years ago htc was selling great phones left and right and still reporting quarterly losses, now they seem to be doing better then ever and it looks like they are really starting to step it up when it comes to developing sense, hopefully they will only pick up more steam
I had the nexus one the day it came out..payed the 529 plus tax n was loving it..it was a very snappy phone running cyanogen 5..update were awesome..trackball notificatons were cool..but basically the evo is the big brother of the nexus one..evo is the ROOT of HTC

I tried out the nexus one for 30 days on at&t early this year when I was still an iphone user and must say the N1 is the DAMN SEXIEST PHONE EVER MADE! I ended up sending mine back because I couldn't justify spending $500+ on a phone. Even though I still miss the hell out of that phone I'm not sure I could get up my evo's bigger screen and 4G data.

The botched touch screen was a serious deal breaker for me with the Nexus. I had one for a while, and I liked it, but I can't go less than 4.3 now. I just can't.
The only thing I love about the N1 is the fact that it gets lightning fast updates.
Engadget just posted an article starting the nexus one will be getting gingerbread in the next few days! That is one thing to admire about it
What about the kickstand! If the nexus had a kickstand and front facing camera .... oh boy I would be tempted to get it. (Again) had the nexus before got bored of vanilla. Just flash cyanogen 6.1 on the evo. There you go you have a nexus minus the trackball. I mean if I had a nexus that's the rom I would run. Might as well. Same same.

I've been saying those other phones dont come close for a while. The Captivate is garbage with it's broken GPS and laggy file sytem and Samsungs poor support. I returned mine after 2 weeks. The Inspire is nice but it's an old design with god awfull battery life. The Atrix is the best phone you can buy right now.

I love the screen and the camera and video and audio apps are fantastic. Atrix becuase its a generation ahead of those 2 devices and has the best battery life. Im going crazy from it. Dont get me started on what I am going to do when that 4.5 inch screen Samsung hits.
One thing I like about the Atrix is that I CANNOT change the ROM. saves me HOURS of wasted time and allows me to go to sleep before 3am. I am a device and ROM junkie.

The atrix look promising BUT The dock (ALL of them) require a Tether plan, soo that the fisrt thing to change. There is no ROM or bootloader aviable yet. I'm very interested on it for the same features you mention. The GPS is the best GPS that I have tested. I have a Nexus One, soo i'm in doubt.

Honestly, I flashed a lot of ROMs with my N1 and if I never get to flash a full, true ROM with this phone, I don't care. I like it so much more than my Nexus. The screen (I can see the Atrix in the sunlight!), the size of the screen, the speed, touch sensitivity, etc. Plus I live in a strong AT&T area and do not have problems like some do.
I would like HSUPA enabled, but from what is floating around here, AT&T is supposed to be "turning on" HSUPA at some point.
Just wanted to say i have been an avid lover of my hd2 and this site for the past 2 years.
Not sure i made the right choice but i have just bought an evo3d simply because it was cheap with changing my phone i have also changed my userid.
So i just wanted to say many thanks to all the wonderful members and developers here that have helped me and my phone flourish. This was my first ever phone and i cannot believe how good it was.
Thanks.
I also upgraded to a Galaxy Nexus. It's not the same as the HD2. It was a cult.
What did you do with your old HD2. Sell it?
hey mate i really liked the look of the nexus or the s2 but with all the hype about the quad cores i was going to wait. but the deal on the evo was too good really.
i sold my hd2 to a relation they are still selling on ebay for nearly 150 they are a good phone. i reckon i will end up buying it back off him soon.
what did you do with yours?
I still have it. It has the NexusHD2 ICS Beta10 on it and other than the fast battery drain, I actually like it more than my new Nexus. I like the heavy, solid feel and the hard buttons.
I will see how the new HTC Edge/Endeavor is received and I might upgrade.
Yea I just upgraded too, but got the Samsung Galaxy S II, miss my HD2 a little, had it since launch, but my power button was out and I didn't fill like cracking it open. I'll still flash it every so often, theres not many ROMS for this phone yet, but ICS is coming, sooooo.

It's the very good phone. I'm using it and don't have any complaint about it.
Agreed, Thanks to one and all!!!
I've only recently received by HD2 as a hand me down with win6.5
Took the plunge last night and put Nexus ICS CM9 on it.

No probs so far.
From what I've read and searched, this little unit is going to be a rippa to work with - so looking forward to it.
I've been thinking about upgrading to a newer phone, but there are none that match the versatility of the HD2 yet! I don't know if we'll ever have another one as awesome either . I'm going to continue using my HD2 for the rest of the year, and buy the 2nd gen Xiaomi phone. It sounds like the closest thing to an HD2 follow-up to me.
