dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) Nice to know my old beloved has been rooted on official 2.1; enjoy guys... as I said before, dont be afraid to experiment; thats how you learn; go for 2.1; speed issues may be related to people who dont follow rom upload and later on reboot procedures properly; always reboot your hero by removing battery; now as it is, you have nothing to fear as its been rooted... Now awaiting root on my new love - the Incredible.... Edited June 5, 2010 by dkaile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dpinal 2 Report post Posted June 5, 2010 Just rooted my phone and de 'Sprinted' my hero hoping to to make it sprint faster Removed the Tv, navigation nfl nascar etc . Just follow this link to know what to remove http://forum.xda-dev...8&postcount=175 I had posted earlier how laggy my phone was but somehow it had settled down on its own without me doing anything obvious. Like sort of my hardware got adjusted to the new software Oh and people who have not updated yet to 2.1 dont use the RUU from the Sprint or HTC site , its been updated and the root exploit already patched. http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=695027 If any one wants the old RUU let me know will upload it. I did this but I dont feel my Hero getting faster What about custom rom?? Did u find any best yet now?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted June 5, 2010 By rooting you can access the root folders, uninstall the pre-loaded aplications and best part is, you can load custom roms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not on orricial RUU, I am using Fresh 2.1.2 (Deodexed ROM) but I have tried almost all ROMs, this worked well on my hero without audio problems. However I have seen time lag (more than 5 seconds and upto 10 seconds) in contact search, call log update and phone book related operations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@mitJ@in 256 Report post Posted June 6, 2010 I have used my Hero on Sprint 2.1 RUU since starting, and I have not found any Lag, Speed Issue, Data Issue till now. All things are working perfectly fine. BTW - My Contact are zero 0; reason I am using this phone with a new number which is activated to be used on Data Only, No Calling No SMS, Nothing. But I am really dis appointed with the battery life, after charging it full, it take hardly 10 hours to completely drain the battery on DATA ON. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kshah Ji, I Cant use my primary number on this phone reason behind, I dont want to miss a single call, As on Always ON Data, My calls get missed, this is the biggest challange in imported sets. Hence, I Activated a new number for this phone to use for DATA Purpose only, Only Email, IMs and Browsing. Second idea was to use Primary Number with Always Data ON on Hero and divert all calls to another Reliance number (R2R Free Scheme in my phone) to get all calls without any issues, but later on found my BlackBerry comfortable to use for Calling SMSing purpose.

kshah 452 Report post Posted June 6, 2010 I i think Android by default has battery issue and its more prominent in cdma. Blackberry has best battery management. Even blackberry clients installed on wm gives reasonable battery life as compared to edge / gprs. Connection used by other mail clients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted June 6, 2010 Hero with 2.1 is absolutely fine. I haven't seen any difference in lag (as the small lag is there in 1.5 itself). The only issue I have seen is the SMS delivery report not correct but that is an incompatibility with Reliance network. It certainly is a very good phone to carry around with its small size.

Is this the reason battery of Tour and Flip is good ? blackberry connected to BIS on 1x or GPRS , gives fare better battery life i have used BIS and i have always got around 1.5days of battery on heavy usage , and similar usage on any other phone i get less than 24hrs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
