Sprint HTC Hero :: Can't Change Background / How To Fix It
Jun 16, 2010
So, I upgraded last week to DamageControl v2.09.1 and had a few issues, but everything has worked itself out and its working fine now.
The only problem I'm having is that I can't change my home screen wallpaper. I can change the lockscreen and I can do everything else with the phone except this. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm having trouble setting up my wallpaper. Every time I click on "Set as Wallpaper" it doesn't let me choose the whole entire picture. It only lets me select a small portion of it. Any help?
I just got the HTC Hero because I switched it out with the Moment and so far I like the Hero a lot better.

I've got the Fresh ROM installed on my phone, but I don't seem to have any luck getting the live backgrounds that came with the ROM working. I have a feeling they're inactive, but I can't find anywhere else to get them and load them onto my phone.

I have checked for related threads to see if this was formerly addressed. It's been discussed generally, but neither specifically to the CDMA HTC Hero or the procedure I'm going to summarize below:
If you press:
Home --> and hold it for a couple of seconds
You get pictures (icons) of the last six apps you've run.
I was in the Sprint store today and the rep who also uses the HTC Hero told me there's an App that stops them, which can be downloaded at the Android Market.
It's called " Kill-Something? "
It's an App we can download that will force these off and perhaps save battery power, or at least stop them from running in the background.
Questions
1) Anyone know the name of this App?
2) Is it useful? Have you had any experiences with it either positive or negative?
3) Any other tips (in layman terms please) on stopping Apps from running in the background on Sprint HTC Hero?

How can I prevent Sprint Navigation from running in the background all the time? Every time I go on the market, browser, check my email, or send a text, Sprint Navigation is shown running in all of my 3rd party app managers. I have task killer so I can kill it as I please, however I would like to completely prevent it from starting up when i'm not even using it. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

I just go hero and I went to the Pop3 setting and started to insert my microsoft pop3 account setting in the fields as prompted. The password was not correct so it would not pull in my emails.I can't seem to find out how to go back into my pop3 settings since the HTC Hero email application will not let me view my previous settings to make changes.There must be a way, I am just not seeing it.Please help me with the correct procedure.It tells me to select my email account from the drop down screen in my created email account, so, I select the email address that it shows that I created.

I haven't been able to figure out how to change the google account I originally activated my hero with. The reason i want to change it is because my gmail app only opens email from that account, and I used a new gmail account to register my phone with that was specifically for my contacts, and now i cant check my other gmail accounts email. anyone know a good solution without having to format?

I have the following linear layout. What I don't understand is if I set the background to another image, the padding information are reset. Is there a way to prevent this?
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/aPanel"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/bkground"
android:paddingLeft="15dp" android:paddingRight="15dp">
<!-- some children here -->
</LinearLayout>
I see the position of the children get shifted when I change the backround drawable of the linearlayout 'aPanel'.

Is there a way we can we use the old, automated sprint voicemail recording of "you've reached the sprint voice mailbox of ###-###-####" on the Hero? I don't particularly like that I had to record my own voicemail mailbox greeting when I setup the phone and rather have the basic sprint recording that I've had on every other sprint phone I've ever owned.

How do you change a default application for opening a file type. I am evaluating several programs for viewing my pictures. I had no default defined so that when I tapped a jpg file I got a popup menu asking which app I wanted to open it with. Someway or another I managed to check the box that says use this as the default and tapped the app before I could uncheck it. So now the built in picture viewer is set as the default and I would like to clear that so I get the popup box again.

I recently rooted and flashed my phone with fresh everything works great, except that I was able to change my theme only once. I am currently using the brocks theme, I tried to use kitchen to change it to defresh lastnight, and it said the process completed, but the theme is still brocks. Is there something im not doing?

I know this is a rather odd question, but, I know that on the damageless rom, it defaults to locate for GSM Radio Towers. Now, I know there is two HTC Hero devices, The Eris (GSM Version) and the Hero (CDMA Version), however the ability to search for different towers in the Damageless rom has me intrigued on if it is possible at all.
Why I ask is, I am going out of the country, specifically to the carribean islands and mexico. I am wondering if it is at all possible to use it like that. I really doubt it because I don't think that the CDMA version is backwards compatible with the GSM version, but I thought I might as well ask.

For some reason the notification led does not flash while the phone is charging when I have a new text, voicemail, etc. Is there an option somewhere that I am missing to change this? While charging, the LED stays a constant amber.

For those of you running the leaked 2.1 for the Sprint Hero, can you tell me if there is a native task manager type of option that allows you to see all the background apps that are running? If there is such a thing, how do you access it? Does it allow you to switch between running apps? Does it allow you to kill the app (like a task killer would)?
