So a guy I work with has a Droid Eris and the ball will light up when he has a missed call or a text. Is there a way to get the Hero (sprint) to do this? Also it seems the phone has two lights on the front? I have only seen the red/green light, light up.

I have had my instinct since 10/15 and the track ball is already getting dirty and sticking. i have never used a phone with a track ball before so i am looking for tips and advice on how to clean it and keep it clean.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was using CM6 and it had an option that i could unlock the phone by double pressing the menu button or by pressing the trackball. Now I am back to Darchdroid v2.8 because i like it way better than froyo, but the only way to unlock the phone is by sliding the screen icon. Is there a way to re-enable that menu/trackball way of unlocking the phone? I am using launcherpro 8.1 as home screen, not sure if that makes a difference.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've had the Hero since 10-29-09 and the scroll-ball light is always on, it never shuts off ... It's driving me CRAZY. Also; the light pulses very lightly. Like it has a short or something. I've checked all my messages, settings and I can't find the problem. Has anyone had this problem? How did you fix it? I don't really want to go to my local Sprint store because I'm sure they have no idea.
View 8 Replies View RelatedOk here is another thing that gets me. I just got done trying some games that uses the track ball button to induce action. Of course we don't have one. Is there any way to play these things without a track ball? My preference is to not have a trackball but now it cripples some apps.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I am trying to switched to Evil Eris from KaosFroyo just cause I want something different. But it seems that whenever I try and go to System Recovery to wipe everything there is a problem because I can scroll down to click on wipe or anything but when I press it down it will reboot. Is there any fix to this problem.

Can people track my location? Can I turn this "tracking" off should I wish? And is there an easy way to check for it in the phone: Sprint Hero by HTC.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI am still experiencing phantom swipes (only to the left) on my Incredible. Putting a piece of duck tape over the optical track pad seems to resolve it. This has been ongoing for about a month and a half. I have a warantee but really don't want to wait for my new phone/get one of the newer LCD phones. I have been able to recreate the phantom swipe by moving the phone under different light sources. This is so annoying.
I have tried everything, there isn't dust on my track pad and its not a matter of grounding. I really hope this is not a hardware issue. I got my Inc by pre-order (original with AMOLED). I have been able to toy with some of the newer Inc builds (with the LCD screen). I have noticed the trackpad is more flush with the unit, this leads me to believe they reworked the hardware to fix an issue. Anyone else with the original AMOLED Inc builds experiencing this?
Is there a way to have the phone still display notifications using the LED when he phone is charging? As it stands, charging the phone keeps the light solid.

Can I change the LED colors? the pattern? Something!? I know that i can flip it over to silence it.
My notification light comes comes on as it should , but only blinks for maybe two minutes then stops. Is there any way to have it stay on until you check ( like on all my other phones i have had ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that when viewing the screen in a darkened room that the screen is actually too dark. Yet in a normal setting that the screen is correctly lit. I've tried increasing the intensity to maximum with the sensor enabled and it's still to dark in the darkened room. Now, I've disabled the sensor entirely and the screen just runs wide open all the time - day or night.
Has anyone else felt that it was too dark in the darkened setting? I'm wondering if there is a setting (probably not yet written for the phone/OS) to vary how linear the light sensor is at darker levels? Maybe a 'minimum darkness' adjustment?
I find this extremely annoying that at night when I am using the scroll ball that the thing keeps lighting up, and then shutting off, lighting up..etc.
Is there a way or an app that shuts off the lights to the hardbuttons/trackball?
This is especially necessary in the day time when i can see the buttons, i don't need them illuminated.
When I owned a palm, there was a program call KBlights... shut of the keyboard, hardbutton lights.
Ok, sSand it wont do anything but light up green. Even if I go through and push call contact still nothing. Not even with the green button.? I did get a force close of android phone (I think that is what it said)

View 7 Replies View RelatedThe only thing that I've found that I dislike about this phone is the way it alerts you about new text messages. Is there a way to make your phones screen light up when you receive a text message? Also is there a way to set a reminder like every few minutes that you have a text message? Say if you receive a text message while you're away from the phone then two minutes later the phone vibrates or sounds to remind you that you have a new text.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAll other directions work. Not sure if this was the case straight out of the box, as hardly use the mouse wheel / ball. Anyone know if this could be an 'out of calibration' problem that can be adjusted, or is it just broken? Have to admit dropping the phone once, but not that hard!
