ps360,

What's the difference between leaked Nordic RUU update with the UK? Or between UK RUU with SEA RUU?

Are you sure the rooting is going to be more difficult after the latest RUU update? Any source on that?

Well, I'm on theunlokr side :-) The steps involved are fewer than the other, and come with video tutorial. You just tap the menus instead of typing the codes.

Thanks for the info naTTan :-)

Now I wonder which HTC model has the same screen size as HTC Hero. I just came back from LYP and I can't find any that suits HTC Hero.

Magic is much more smaller compared to Hero :-(

With no casing, no screen protector it really makes me nervous XD

Until then, I'll probably wrap it with thin plastic wrapper.

On the other note, the HTC Hero comes with 1 year warranty. You might add another RM50 for an extended 1 year warranty, which then give you two years warranty.

Yep. I'm adding my contacts to the phone already :-)

My... Cannot update to the latest ROM :-( Used RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe, I guess the update is tailored to specific region.

Oh? Mine 2.73.728.5 too :-)

Now I'm confused :-(

HTC Hero doesn't come with Android Market?

There is no application named Android Market or Market in my Hero. Only SAM. Confirmed no Market in Hero Malaysia/Vietnam, read http://bit.ly/3cF83h

Edit: It seems that there is build 2.73.1100.5, from Belgium. Nice to know there are many builds to keep us occupied :-)

Now, where to get the installer for Market?

Oh my...

Anybody know how to backup contact groups which are made in People? I did a reset consequently the groups were deleted.

I did backup (use Windows Contact, not Outlook) however the backup didn't carry together the groups :-(

Will Outlook backups the groups too?

Nice price indeed. Now we can have more members to join here and discuss things :-)

JayC75, from the settings I can see option to use keypad instead of qwerty. So yes I think there is T9. But don't quote me on this XD.

Well, without Market now I'm tempted to flash it with MoDaCo. But my warranty is two years :-(

I can't tell either it was laggy or not because the lag issue is most probably on 1.76.405.6, and our Malaysian Hero comes with 2.73.728.5. So I have no experience on the lag issue, so cannot compare.

From xda, the latest International update is 2.73.405.5 and solved that issue, which is older than ours. Assuming our update is built based on previous codes, I'd say the lag is not there anymore :-)

scalper, I'd love to help but I don't know where to check those settings you said.

FINALLY!

Now I have Android Market in my Hero after following this bit.ly/TVoUL exactly.

No problem at all. It's a smooth sailing for me. Now time to go to Market getting some groceries XD

Edit: Now I have my Hero exactly as I wanted. With Market :-) Just downloaded Linda.

Interestingly enough, my Hero is much more responsive now. I'd say the 2.73.405.5 update is so much faster compared to our update. SERIOUSLY.

You can get you settings (WAP, 3G and Internet) from here.

Copy paste enter bit.ly/TVoUL to your address bar :-)

Good to know that :-)

No issue :-)

But the sync won't import you contacts' groups.

Yep. I have groups with more than 30 contacts.

I can't comment as I don't use that function.
