Thanks so much, I've installed the voice search from yr link, I have the htc_ime on my phone also however when I 'open app manager' via ASTRO I get a 'file path not found' error msg, can you offer any further help?

Again... many thx from a noob!!!

YAY..... I'VE SUSSED IT, FAB.... THX SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!

Hi i just have a stupid question :

i'm quite lost with all the stuffs about the 2.1 update :

i have a 1.5 stock rooted rom on my hero.
i would like to update to 2.1 but keep the root thing.
and i want not to wipe my phone

So what i understand is :
- if i update : i'm not root anymore and won't be able to do it with the 2.1
- if i want to be 2.1+root i have to use a full rom (rooted) to have both but i have to wipe my phone.

Is that right ?
Is there or will it be a way to have an update (not wiping phone), in 2.1, and with root maintained from my 1.5 ??

Thanx for help.. i don't what to do with this ota update...

Ciao
Fred

Can anyone help, I've been trying to update mine but to no avail. I have an un-rooted generic Hero from Malaysia. I tried changing the date and restarting the phone but I still didn't receive any notification asking me to update.

Is there any way to update the phone aside from the OTA?

Hello,Ive got problem with android market,it wont show me my apps I bought. It showing me some of them but not all. Thank You.

Overall I'm really happy, coming from stock 1.5 it to the official Sense 2.1 update it seems a lot quicker. The Android devs talked about introducing lower priority for garbage collection in 2.1, and it seems to help, less judders when scrolling lists etc.

I'm loving the new weather animations when you unlock your homescreen. The wispy floating clouds are awesome!

And of course, there is the major improvement to the colour support, no more dithering or banding, the colours are sharp and clear.

One major pain, though, I swear the the volume rocker used to change the System volume when on the homescreen. Now it only changes the Ringer volume, so I have to lower the ringer, the notifications, etc, individually rather than all in one go. There doesnt seem to be a way to override what the volume rocker controls.

A new bug, when you open an sms message conversion and click in the new message area, the messages above dont shift up enough. Hence the keyboard is obscuring the last message, you cant see what you are replying to. If you cancel that, then click again to write a new message it correctly shifts the messages so the last one can be seen. This is a new bug, it used to shift them correctly in all cases.

Battery was seriously killed yesterday after the update (which understandably required a LOT of processing) and trying out all the new features, but today the drain seems just the same as 1.5.


I would also like to know if there is an APK for friendstream, live wallpapers, 3d gallery etc..

I always have my Hero set to show only phone contacts in the people app.

Why does 2.1 show phone contacts AND sim contacts in the phone app? Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

I noticed this too - it's really annoying!!

How are you getting the homescreen weather animations on official 2.1?

Re: the SIM and Phone Contacts, in what part of the Phone app are you seeing them both? In the people list, or the dialer when you start typing a name, or where?

Re: animations, I thought it was in Settings->Sound and Display->Animations.

But playing around with it, it seems to be on permanently.

Just switch the screen off making sure your home screen with the weather clock is visible, switch it back on , slide down to unlock, and after about a second you get a full screen weather animation over your entire homescreen. Very cool..

Hello, another noob here...
So, if I got this correctly,I can in a Hero that does not have root, flash the oficial NOT rooted 2.1 that is available in zip format, through recovery.

Am I correct? I just rename the Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R-signed.zip to update.zip, send it to memory card, run the recovery and install it?

thanks

I'm seeing the sim contacts in the dialer. I never used to see them in 1.5.

All animations are switched on so I don't know what's going on there.

You need to select/add your location, do a 'search locations' for your main city near you and then apply that don't keep it on 'current location'.
