HTC Hero :: How To Use WOL From Android Handset?
May 4, 2010
My PC at home is enabled for Wake On Lan (WOL), and I can turn it on at will from my laptop downstairs. I have done a quick search on the Market and found several apps that will turn my PC on using WOL. What I want is to be able to turn my PC on using WOL whilst I'm at work. I have read that opening a port on my home router (port 9) will allow WOL traffic. Does anyone use WOL from your Hero/Android handset? If so, which app do you use?

I was sitting there last night and my HTC hero was on the table when I heard it vibrate. When I picked it up it was turning itself off. It then turned itself back on again and everything was fine. Bit odd I was wondering if they do this from time to time to sort of update itself a bit like restarting a computer?

My wireless router is a Belkin N1 Vision that connects via my Virgin media ADSL cable provider.

now ive read so much about people having trouble getting them unlocked i'm not sure whether to buy it or not. I do not want to Flash it, root it or do anything to it as i just want it to remain as it is. So is it possible just to unlock the handset with a code yet?

I've just sent my Hero back again This will be the 3rd time that they've had my phone back in little under a year!
1st fault, phone arrived but couldn't get past white boot screen - I suspect they hadn't tested it and sent me a bricked handset
2nd fault, usb connection completely failed. Tried all the steps, they told me too send it back.. suspect they sent me a reconned phone back out
3rd fault, wifi has been basically non-existant on the handset, can stand next to the access point and get poor to no signal.. tried on several APs
Wonder if they'll send me a Nexus one to appologise.Damn you HTC - and the worse thing is, the cat calls from the iSheep users in the office who take much delight in my pain! "You should have got an iPhone nah nah nah"

Which bluetooth headset works best for the HTC hero. Also have anyone use the visor type and what was your experience. Also can you voice dial with your headphone.

Now I have a netbook which requires a GPS receiver for a program to work ( memory maps ), but I cannot find anywhere a guide on how to use my Hero as an external GPS ( if its possible ). I found a small guide ( here=http://www.laptopgpsworld.com/3360-htc-touch-pro-gps-pc#post27275) but got stuck with installing a .CAB file. Any tips on using a Hero as an external GPS receiver for my netbook? I'm running 2.1

I know there are numerous threads on here about dodgy wifi, but I think mine is a more unusual problem then most are finding.My problem is that wifi stays connected all time when it should do, but using apps that download data are all unreliable. Nearly every time I want to download something, wether it be a webpage through browser, or rss feeds through newsrob, or just to have a look at market, it only works about 30% of the time. I have to go and switch wireless off, wait a few seconds, then switch it back on and wait again. Then I can try downloading stuff.
I know I have the same problem with at least 3 wireless routers, and nothing else has the problem with any of these routers. My old iPhone worked absolutely fine with them.For example, at home I have several computers that use wifi to connect to the internet, and they NEVER have any problems with connection. My old iPhone and my partner's iPhone NEVER has any problems with wifi. I also have tried other devices (wifi webcams, etc) at home, and all with no problems. I haven't got any special settings on my router, just the factory defaults.My Hero is the only device that has any problems. Unfortunately, I don't know anybody else with a Hero, so I can't check if it's all Heros, or just mine.I'm on a Vodafone monthly contract. What are my options? Should they replace it with another Hero?

Can someone please upload it to Megaupload or Rapidshare or Youtube please?
It's this video :

I have an HTC Hero - which I love. Unfortunately, it looks like the trackball is broken - it only goes up, down and left.I'm going to call Orange to get a replacement handset but, will I lose access to the market apps I've paid for? Or does the fact that my market use is tied to my google account mean that it will remember which apps I've purchased and allow me to download them on the new handset?

When I was an iPhone user (don't hit me (I'm tougher than you )) I liked to use the Facebook App on the handset, and it had the Chat service built into the App, which was V. Handy.
I liked to use it for private chats with some friends rather than posting on the facebook thingy - dont want every one to know
The Andriod App doesn't seem to do this or have I just missed it?
If I haven't missed it and I am correct - anyone know why such a key feature would be on the iPhone App and not the Andriod App (doesn't seem fair)
Will we see it any time soon - as I don't fancy using another software App to do something the iPhone users can

Are there any existing or forthcoming handsets without physical buttons for Home/Menu/Back/Search? I know these are required for the Android interface, but are there virtual keys on any handsets? It's a small gripe, but on my Legend I am not loving the keys after operating the touch screen!

I currently have an HTC P3600 (old I know!) running Windows 6.1, with a copy of TomTom installed on it. Because of my job (plumber) and the fact that I live in the middle of nowhere I use TomTom on a daily basis. I would very much like to upgrade my handset and move to Android when it becomes available on my operator (SFR in France) later this month. Is there any way of running TomTom on the handset so I don't get lost in deepest darkest Normandy and get eaten by the locals?

Is it inherent in Android that the phone Handset profiles (HSP and HFP) can't be used for audio from the non-cellphone applications?I would like to listen to voice quality audiobooks and podcasts on my generic bluetooth headset, without buying an expensive stereo bluetooth headset.

I've been scouring the web looking for information on setting up a peer-to-peer connection between Android handsets and so far have drawn a blank. The only thing I can definitively seem to work out is that it was made a whole lot more difficult when XMPP was removed from 1.0. Apart from that, I find a couple of threads on an OpenIntents board about porting an XMPP implementation to Android that were last posted nearly 2 years ago. Has anybody solved this problem effectively? What's the best way of doing it (from a games point of view)?

I am just starting to learn Android development using the Android SDK and Eclipse. I can get my HelloWorld starting app to run in the device emulator, but not on my Verizon Droid handset. I have downloaded the drivers for Windows 7 and I can see the files on the handset in Windows Explorer, so I'm assuming I have the drivers working. I have enabled the USB Debugging on the handset.The problem is that when I set the Debug mode to Manual in Eclipse, I do not see my device in the "Choose device" list.What am I missing?
