If i'm using the car kit, stop at a destination, and want to carry one the call but using the handset, how can I do this? I cant see a way to switch between the 2 when on calls.

How do I switch calls when I hear the beep (call waiting). Seems my screen goes blank when I hold the phone up to my face, then takes a couple seconds to illuminate the dial pad but the only button I see is to ADD CALL. I want to switch between or back and forth.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been using the HTC Hero for sprint for about three weeks. Overall it has worked fine for me. Only problems I've had is is difficulty with using the keypad at times (wrong key getting pressed)and occasional phone lagging. all the great reviews I've been reading I have been considering upgrading to the EVO. My son got the EVO two weeks ago and has been having a nightmare with the battery draining very quickly and the phone shutting itself off at times. He just exchanged his EVO for a new one yesterday. I'm wondering if I'm just setting myself up for headaches making the move to an EVO. This is further complicated that because I am at the end of my 30 day trial period I would not have time to switch back if the EVO didn't turn out to be a good thing. All feedback greatly appreciated.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter using the Moment for 28 days, I decided to exchange it for the HTC Hero. Generally, I could give or take the Moment. It is my first experience with Android, and though I quickly fell in love with the OS, I don't have anything else to compare it to (Android-based). The keyboard is ok. The camera is not quite comparable to the camera on my BB Tour. The call quality is excellent. The speaker phone quality is terrible. The build quality is decent, but the phone (as many have mentioned) is a brick. The biggest problem I have is that I constantly mute and dial other numbers when on a call (proximity sensor problem). I very randomly decided to exchange my Moment for the Hero. I guess it was because of my indifference towards the Moment. I just wanted to try something else. I have now been using the Hero for 4 days. My thoughts when comparing it to the Moment? ...wow, it blows the Moment clear out of the water. What a difference, especially with the Android experience. The tweaks HTC made to the Android platform with Sense is just beautiful. The overall operation of the phone runs so much more smoothly than the Moment. The difference is night and day. I have heard many complain that the Hero lags. I really have not noticed this. The switch between landscape and portrait is slower than the Moment, but definitely not a deal breaker by any means.

Is there any way to completly remove/switch off htc message client? I like handscent much better but dont want to charge my phone every day...
I like to read on my phone at night in my bed, so even though I am holding the phone sideways I do not want the orientation to change. In phones I had in the past you can assign a button to change the orientation. Is this possible on the hero?
View 2 Replies View RelatedA lot of the time I leave my phone on its desk charger. I would like to be able to set it up so that anytime that I receive or make a call when it is charging the loudspeaker mode will be automatically turned on. That way it can be used as a speakerphone. Is there an app that can do that please?Alternatively is there a little switch widget that I can put on my homescreen and which can toggle the loudspeaker mode on and off? I want this to usable when I first set the phone on charge, so I do not have to fiddle about with the phone when a call comes in.By the way I am still running a stock Orange 1.5 ROM.

I click to clear cached lock screen, reboots, still the same. Anyone know why it won't change? the boot screen changed first try, so that is good, just that damn lock screen. I don't like the clear thingy.

I am considering trying again as I am about to change to a different rom but does anybody know if the market is clever enough to spot that @googlemail and @gmail are the same address or will I lose my paid apps?
Is there any way to stop the volume rocker from changing the ringer volume when at the home screen etc. It's really annoying! It's so easy to press by accident, and I never want to change the ringer volume anyway! (I only ever want it to ring at a particular volume, or not ring at all...in which case I just put it in vibrate mode)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've switched from the iPhone to the Hero a week ago. I really like the Hero, even though some functions are better on the iphone (like the musci player).
There is one Issue however, which is really bugging me with the HTC, which might make me switch back to the iPHone if I can't find a solution.
Problem:
When I call with my headset (Not the original ones, I don't have huge ear holes....) I can't "switch off" the screen and put the phone in my pocket and call while walking... This sucks, as I have to hold the phone in my hands, which kind of kills the idea of having a headset.
there's a way to get the screen to automatically switch to home when the phone gets locked via time out or pressing the power button? Running ZenEXP/LP+/geekfor.me vanilla lockscreen.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have read a couple of threads that touched on this ring issue, but was unable to find any that had a solution or work around.Since the 2.1 update and the OTA update, many times when an incoming call comes, the phone doesn't ring. If I happen to be in front of the phone, I can see the screen change showing an incoming call.If I am listening to Pandora Radio, when the phone rings, Pandora stops, but the phone never rings.If I am not near or looking at the phone this results in missing the call.If I shut off the phone and re-boot it appears to ring fine, but at some point later in the day or week it will quit ringing.I normally never turn off the phone. Should I start to re-boot every day?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHad the Hero for 3 weeks now, and love it. Much nicer than the IPhone Just one issue I have had with it. When someone phones, I tend to only have about 2 rings to answer it before it goes to voicemail. When I tested trying to phone it myself from another phone, it rang 3 times on the phone I was rinigng it from before my Hero made any sign of life. On the 4th ring the LED started flashing and on the 5th ring it started making a noise. By th 7th ring the voicemail had kicked in.Why does it take 3 rings before the phone starts doing something?It seems like its the software just taking a moment to work out whats going on. I'm running the latest ROM however it was the same on the older one too.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have missed 5 incoming calls today (my children trying to contact me, my phone was on silent). There was NO notification on the notification bar to inform me that I had had missed calls. I have SMSToMailbox setup (which informs me that I have had missed calls, but, up to half an hour later than the call should have came through, it's still a great program though!), so I eventually found out they were trying to contact me.Since getting home, I have called my phone a number of times from my landline, all got through, BUT the 'missed call' notification on the notification bar only stayed there for a maximum of 2 seconds! (I disabled SMSToMailbox during the test).
I wondered if it might be one of the applications that I have downloaded that may be interfering with the notification not staying where it should be. SO, I uninstalled the 'Phonebook' address book app, and, low and behold, the notification stayed in place when I phoned from my landline and hung up.
I wonder, maybe some of the 'faults' we may find on the Hero (or other Android phones), may be down to what we actually download onto them!
