New HTC Hero - Droid Incredible General

I have a new HTC hero. I had it hooked up for about a month and got a newer Galaxy s. Now i want to use my Hero for something at home.I know its not worth much being that its an out of date model. I have wifi at home and now its only being used as a hi-tech TV guide, and text with google voice.
Any idea's what I could it for?

This is the Droid Incredible forums, you are looking for the HTC Hero forums.

What some use their old incredibles here for is as a music player. That's what some use. I use my incredible to test and flash ROMs as I use a Nexus now.
Oh yeah, by the way this is not the HTC Hero forums.

Im sorry I was not able to find the hero forum

Its under legacy and low activity devices at the bottom of the list of forums.

Nexus one for 600-650$,is it worth it?

Guys I m new in the forums so please bare with me..I was about to place my order for nexus one it was sold out,,now I don't clearly know the reasons why they stoppd selling it..but couldn't get a good deal anywhere,in amazon its about 600-650$ .is it worth the buy?as I have a feeling froyo my be last update for nexus and no more..and suggest me some good alternatives please..

Froyo will NOT be the last update for the nexus, gingerbread won't be last update for nexus either
But good alternatives, I would say samsung galaxy s, but don't expect updates from samsung, froyo prob will be last update for galaxy s, it will be the community that provides updates on it
Motorola looks like it will lock down all of its future android phones, so I can't recommend them
Any new htc android will be the best choice I think

Support for a costly product which I get to buy once in a while is must,,galaxy s is a real good phone but without a smooth interface and I don't expect frequent bug fixes from Samsung(I use a galaxy spica I hate samsung for no updates), how about the htc desire?
Edit: saw some videos about no multitouch but only 2 finger support (pinch to zoom only)for nexus and desire,and the faulty multitouch on both devices,do they really matter in real usage?

Just register as a developer ($25) then buy a nexus one when they're back in stock ($520 + tax).. and to answer your question: yes, it's worth it

I dont know if the dev version is better, but it wont be worse.
And should you buy a Nexus One? All I will say is this:
Im playing Final Fantasy VII right now with the new Playstation1 emulator on my Nexus at FULL SPEED WITH SOUND.
Nuff said
Can i get a link to that emulator and ff7

I don't think any phone is worth that much.
I did TONS of shopping around and waiting and ended up getting a Nexus One for 350 through Craigslist.
I'm insanely happy with my buy, but if you need one ASAP, just register as a Dev
I have one for sale on ebay cheaper than that but its on locked and on T-Mobile bands

Honestly I would probably spend that much for the nexus simply cause I think its the best on the market still simply because its the Google developer phone. Clean vanilla android, updates right from Google, will get gingerbread, and its the best build quality still out there.
Or buy mine currently in the XDA Market forum.
I'll happily ship anywhere

Yeah, the htc desire would be good, because essentially its just a nexus one internally, only difference is buttons, optical sensor (instead of trackball) and 64 mb more ram and of course sense ui.

Well said, backup N1 is for sure on my mind.
I need to register as a developer
Hello and sorry for this question but I am new to this...
I want to order a N1 and don't know how to register for the developer program ..can you please just post a link so i can follow and get my device
Thank you
Phil
You can go to https://www.google.com/accounts/Ser...sh&followup=http://market.android.com/publish and register as a developer. It is a one time $25 fee
The HTC Desire is getting Froyo with 720p recording. Is the Nexus One going to get that officially from Google?
is there a way to get HTC desire in Canada
Hello,
Is there a way to order and get HTC desire in Canada?
I will be interested to get this one (HTC sense is a cool option to have)

I just bought an Aria.

Just thought you guys should know. I'm on T-Mobile and use a Vibrant but I'm really digging the Aria's build and form factor.
Any suggestions for...anything?
I just got mine this week and love it! You're probably more advanced than I am though, since I'm guessing you have Android experience prior to the Aria... I'm coming from a Moto RAZR 2!
Currently loving LauncherPro (Plus) and Extended Controls. Those are the only 2 apps I've paid for so far.
I'm using my aria on T-Mobile and works good. No 3g in my area so no big loss for myself.

I've had mine for about a month now... I love this little phone! Much more than any iPhone or BlackBerry I've previously owned.
(I'm an admitted phone junkie.)
Think this is a nice post to share with other new aria users. I myself am a new aria user, its also my first android phone (on s sony eriscsson previously). Loving it so far but am very curious to know it inside out.
Any idea which features are androids n which are htc sense?
Thanks!
to the OP - I have a galaxy s right now and am thinking about moving into a Aria, how do you feel about moving from the vibrant to the Aria?
Well i'm a newbie to the aria and androis os myself, but u should definitely get the XDA app to easily access the forum and get this cool sig below!

Think It's a nice bit of kit too. Customer brought one in to have the digitizer replaced.. Just spent an hour and a half trying to get the new one to sit properly.. On really close inspection, the replacement (customer supplied) is almost 2mm broader..All,.
Not fishing for business, but just a heads up to anyone that's planning on a DIY digitizer repair.

Some help please lol

Well I have a g2x atm, and let me tell you if when had more support from lg this phone would be on the top of the list but back to reality lol; I'm looking into getting a new phone and I'm stuck on the htc sensation and this beautiful phone the nexus s for t-mobile, now I need some help on this decision. How's your 3g? How's the
development here? Like just some feedback from you owners. Thank you for anyone who responds

Development is great on these phones and we have stable ics. I know T-Mobile has way better 3G than sprint so I would say u should be good in that field. But I think u would be much happier with a nexus than a sensation.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
That's what I like to hear, but there are some downgrade like the camera compared to the sensation, do you like yours? And are there any sense roms? Cause don't get me wrong im 100% for stock roms but you know sometimes you want some sense lol

There's a sense based ROM in development right now, i'm on sprint and tmo has better service but I don't have a complaint right now on this network. The development overall is amazing and as a phone I love it, just talked my brother into buying one he came over from an evo 4g and said he wished he would haves switched a long time ago, and he's someone who is not tech savvy at all.
On the ns4g we have a sense rom how ever its not 100% but it might be soon then I'm sure it will get ported to the regular nexus. I agree with the camera but I love it. There's a thread in the theme section that shows everyone's pics taken with there nexus and they're some really nice pics.

So long Evo 4G. :(

I'm on a family plan and they are switching to at&t so I gotta follow. I was wondering what the beat phone from them is right now. I love my evo. It has been nothing but good to me. I want a phone similar. I was think the HTC one x but it doesn't have a removable battery.
So what are your thoughts? What's the best phone from AT&T right now for the Evo 4G loving flashaholic?

One X bro I used one today n I fell inlove with it, though Classic EQ preset sounds better than the famous Beats Audio preset on stock music player, let down.... anyways u also got the Vivid or Inspire if ur an HTC lover, though with the One X I personally wouldnt consider any of them and the X's battery is great according to some ppl, though no SD card slot is another let down....

The non removable battery isn't a deal breaker believe it or not! Just look at most tablets........they got a set combo that you can press if you get stuck in a bootloop or whatever
I would go with the one x if I was on At&t BUT that's just me.............shop around that's my advice to you dude! At the end of the day, we're not the ones that are going to be stuck with that phone....is YOU! I could tell you get this, get that BUT you got to like it........everything else is a matter of opinion!
GOOD LUCK!!
Awesome thanks for the fast responses. And that was my big worry with the removable battery that I wouldn't have any option if I got in a boot loop or a rom acts funny and I need to hard reset. If there is a hard reset feature then I think I'm sold. But I'm still not sure lol.

Galaxy Note
I got an evo when they first came out and have flashed everything to it. My HTC EVO 4G(I love saying it) has been an incredible phone but I recently upgraded to a Galaxy Note and I Love it. Its huge just like the evo used to be huge but I am used to it now and all phones feel tiny. The pen believe it or not is actually pretty useful, its fun to draw with but I also take a lot of notes and it has helped me out immensely with my business.
Yes its a tad slower than the htc one x and I do miss sense, but I need me an ext sd and removable battery. If i didn't like options i'd get an iphone. whats up with that HTC? that's seriously the reason I went with the Note.
but I recently bricked/semi bricked/softbricked my Note upgrading to ICS and that sucked but I fixed it and finally got the new official ICS and cannot be happier. I installed nova launcher over crapwiz and now im in heaven.

My debate is pretty much between the One X, The Note, and an iPhone...I know. Its sad I'm thinking ios over android. I'd regret it alot later but its an option.
But with the Note, I heard that the hardware Samsung uses on there android devices is pretty crappy like its built out of cheap parts.

I heard that too, but I dont think mine feels cheap at all the build quality is good and the parts on the inside dont feel too quick. Sometimes i cant believe how much faster it is than my EVO. I am able to run anything like grand theft auto really smooth. I do have the international version which is faster that the ATT version so that kinda suck for the OP.
and the new evo doesnt have that feel of being or having something that no other phone has. When the OG Evo came out it was one of a kind nothing could compare to it. The Note is the only phone that really stands out to me, More than the Galaxy s3 since its a bit similar to the htc one x.
Thats just me though, I like big phones. and i cant stress this enough that you do get used to the size unless you have small hands but my 8 years old niece can use it just fine.
i left to AT&T for the galaxy note - if you have LTE in your area it is SICK!

Hey all,
I'm just wondering what people had before the HTC ONE.
I'm thinking about getting this phone myself; I currently have the Galaxy Note 2 and really like a couple features of the new htc. I'd especially like to hear from anyone who is in the same position as me.

At least you can download and flash roms and kernels straight from your phone once you got custom recovery unlike Samsung which you need computer and odin
