The Day my HTC Hero died

Mar25
2011 Written by Mauldor

This morning when I woke up, I noticed a message on the phone “There is a system update available”. I set it off to download, it restarted, installed the update and restarted again. I was left at the HTC Hero starting screen – I assumed that it might take a while before updating or something, so I left it plugged in and on while I went off to the Gym at 9am. I returned at 10:30am and the phone was in the same state -i.e. Not working. Maybe reboots, took sim out, tried the rom screen (Power & Back key while switching on) and nothing I did made it work.

T-Mobile in the UK have made a change to there data use policy, from February 2011, all users will be restricted to only 500MB a month. “If you want to download, stream and watch video clips, save that stuff for your home broadband,” said T-Mobile in a statement. A T-Mobile spokesman told Computer Weekly, it is reducing its fair use policy (FUP) in line with the industry. “As the average mobile internet customer uses only 200MB of data each month, this will only affect a small minority of users, whom we have begun notifying,” said the spokesman.

The spokesman also said customers who exceed the data limits will not be charged and will still be able to access email and web browsing services. Only file downloads will be restricted.

Adobe release Air for Android

2010 Written by Mauldor

At Mobile World Congress 2010 Adobe announced Adobe AIR would support mobile devices by the end of this year. Adobe AIR, a key component of the Adobe Flash® Platform, enables developers to use a single development platform and reuse existing code to quickly build applications that run outside the browser, across multiple screens, devices and platforms. Because the source code and assets are reusable across the Flash Platform runtimes (AIR and Flash Player), it also gives developers a way to more rapidly target other mobile and desktop environments.

In the news today I read that Skype had finally released – you can read it on there blog and basically it states it is for all Android phones running 2.1 or 2.2 of the OS.

T-Mobile Failed on HTC Hero

2010 Written by Mauldor

I would like to write a story About Android Phones, I would like to add into the mix HTC and then add some finely chopped T-Mobile to that mix with the idea to come out with the HTC Hero running Android 2.1 with all the trimmings and also easy enough for a normal customer to complete right? Without ruining the story, if it was possible to go back in time – I would be sitting here right now with an iPhone 3GS - yes you heard that right….

2010 Written by Mauldor

It’s good to have your own personal wireless network, both for reasons of security and convenience – and now, with a little help from us, you can set one up with your HTC HD2.

So, if you like the sound of using your HTC HD2 as a wireless router, follow these simple steps:

1. Before you do anything, make sure that your HTC HD2 has a SIM card in it and its connected to the internet – 3G, GPRS and EDGE are all good – and the computer you’re using has a built-in or external Wi-Fi adaptor.

2. To set up your phone as a wireless router Tap Start and go to Wi-Fi Router.

3. If this is the first time you’ve opened Wi-Fi Router there’ll be a little introduction, which you can either watch or skip. After this, tap Next.

4. Now, you need to set up the phone’s Wi-Fi network by entering a network name and a ten digit WEP key.
