heroes aboard, mind to share how is the multimedia capabilities? i heard photo shots & MP4 vids were laggy or choppy. Did the new firmware fix these? What about gaming? is it laggy too?
No offence bcoz I might be replacing my iphone 3gs for this & hope it's definitely for the better, not worse. I spend 50-50 between multimedia (games, vids & photos) against business use. |

guys, i've just gotten my hero & would like to 'un-virgin' it using MCR2.8 (with chinese). however, being all new to android os, i'm confused over the guide generously done by Levi here against Modaco's brief guide here or xda forummer here.
i know as new updates are created, the steps to root gets easier too. so which guide is safest, yet easy for noobs like me? Added on November 5, 2009, 11:28 pm QUOTE(evilpuppy @ Nov 1 2009, 06:23 PM) have you guys try PapaGo X5 on your Hero? i found that while im on MCR 2.8 my GPS wont get a fix to satellite. but after revert back to MCR 2.7 my GPS work normally and satellite fix took 5sec. any advise? @evilpuppy,because with MCR 2.7 SD damage message will appear everytime i unplug the connection. kindda annoyed has switch off and on the phone just to get rid of the SD Error message.   did u manage to resolve the issues using papago x5 on your MCR2.8? bcoz i'm getting it too, so wanna be sure my soon-to-root hero will run smooth with it. if not, i'll root it to MCR2.7 then. thanks!

finally, after a long tedious reading ard here & there, i've rooted with MCR 2.8. Thought all's well but just found several progs crashed & forced close, like Quickoffice, Auto Task Killer. Anything i may hav done wrongly? one that i missed was to partition my sdcard to allow apps installation into the card instead of phone memory.
neways, should i just reinstall these apps? if so, where to get the factory bundled quickoffice? now, i could only live with Docs To Go but lite version...sigh... |

another thing not working after rooting to MCR2.8, my sms delivery (although checked), isn't working. with the array of issues i'm facing, i'll downgrade to MCR2.7. what do u guys think? or should i wipe (despite mcr2.8 doesn't require me to) & re-root mcr2.8?
