View 5 RepliesNot sure how to do this. Unfortunately it's not as easy as erasing them from a my es file manager. I'm trying to get rid of the standard music player (Rock On from SlideMe is still a tad glitchy, but it's mostly fantastic for it's ineffable ability to land artwork for every album and the last.fm tour finder) and also Sprint Navigation (pointless with Google Maps).

The main browsers I've been able to identify are the following: If there are any others worth mentioning, please add them to the list. I would love to hear your input regarding the pros and cons of each one.

By the way, I'd like to add I am brand new here, I am brand new to Android, and I am brand new to Smart phones. I just upgraded from a crappy 2 year old samsung slider to the HTC Hero on Wednesday, and I am loving it so far!

I am coming off an iPhone 3G where you can copy and paste in pretty much all of the applications. My question is: which standard applications (applications that come pre-loaded on the phone) can you utilize the copy and paste functionality? Is it done differently within certain apps or is there a standard proceedure throughout?

View 3 Replies View Relatedjust got my Desire last week. Fantastic phone I have to say. One thing I haven't been able to find out yet is whether or not you can connect to a fileshare for e.g. pcsharename I know this works on a HD2, but that's a Windows phone. I noticed thewre is a VPN connection option. One would think that you should be able to connect to a network fileshare. Does any one know if this is possible with the standard apps installed or do I need an app from the Market?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an Orange UK branded htc hero, I was wondering if its possible to just flash it with a standard un-branded rom? I don't want one of the various "custom" roms floating around as they all seem to have little bits and bobs that don't work properly. I have no issue with my phone i just don't really want to have to wait for Orange to (if ever) write their own versions of the 2 updates for the European hero.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have looked there, and xda is my next stop, but I would like to ditch Sense and use the standard Android UI. Does anyone know if this is possible? I am not talking about flashing the ROM but rather stopping Sense and loading the normal UI. I am not having any real problems with the Sense UI per se but from playing with other Android devices I think I prefer the normal interface.

I have a sim free Hero (now on O2). Was working ok, but now seems to be getting very slow. I think my ROM is very old:
Firmware Version: 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25
Kernel Version: 2.6.27-a5504199
Build Number: 1.76.405.6 146733
Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288
What's my best option? Upgrade to the standard HTC ROM or go with Modaco? Are there other options? Is the android version linked to the ROM upgrade and if so, worth waiting for 2.1?
If it helps, I don't really use the phone too advanced. Sync to google and yahoo mail, some internet, music and a few apps.
I'm running basic Sprint 2.1 rooted. I've removed all the bloatware, and wireless tether is working great. Pretty much everything is working great, actually, aside from the standard dialer and contact lag many people have reported, plus occasional lag in other areas.
So here's my question: Is there a custom ROM out there that solves the lagginess problem while leaving everything else basically functional and intact? I've been reading the threads around all the various ROMs, and while it seems that some offer real advantages in various areas, it also appears that each introduces its own new set of problems and dysfunctions. While I'd love a snappier phone, I don't want a bunch of new bugs, worse battery life, whatever. I mean, based on the threads here, the average custom ROM user's experience would seem to be slightly worse than my experience with the standard Sprint release.
For one reason another it needs to go back to how it was as it came out of the factory !

We're talking about 30 seconds in standard browser compared to about 1 second in Opera.What's that about?Is everybody else finding the same thing? It's annoying that Opera isn't quite as complete as standard browser, coz otherwise I'd just use it all the time.
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy wife and I both have Hero's and after the recent updates our phone takes forever to dial a number. It was bad before going to 2.1 but now it's terrible. It takes about 10 to 15 seconds to actually dial out. Any suggestions? We both have Google Voice but it dials slow regardless if we're using Google Voice or the standard dialer.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOver the weekend I had a party to go to. The address was in my events on FB but I could not access my events from the FB app and I could log into FB from the browser. Every time I try to connect into FB through either the stock browser or Skyfire I get a "Cookies Required" error msg and it won't let me log in. Cookies are enabled on both browsers but I still can't get in. What gives?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using CyanogenMod 5.0.6 on my Nexus One. Until recently everything was fine but now, none of the browsers on my device are working on either Wifi or EDGE. I tried default browser, Dolphin, Skyfire and even Firefox nightly build. All of them are not opening any pages. Strange thing is, all other internet related applications work i.e. Market, K9, News & Weather etc. It is not a DNS problem as I can ping sites in terminal and get a response. I tried clearing the cache/data. Also tried CacheCleaner. None of the things I tried seem to work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the pre installed browser and a week ago installed Skyfire the app that will play SOME flash content. Whenever I go on certain websites like Facebook, it will ask me which browser to use. So I select one, then the box comes up every couple seconds asking me to choose which browser to choose after I already selected one of them! This is so frustrating some times! I don't want to make skyfire my default since its still in Beta stages.
