As many of us Sprint HTC Hero users have learned, there was a recent software update. And while many of us applied that update and began digging around, the official change log was nowhere to be found — until now.
Anyway, direct from the Sprint Community Forums, here is what was changed and corrected.
HTC Hero Software Enhancement SW 1.56.651.2 provides feature updates and enhancements to address the following:
- Improvement to camera picture quality
- DST (Daylight Savings Time) issue addressed
- Unable to receive SMS due to full memory
- Memory leak when Bluetooth is in connecting state
- 3.5mm mono when not using headset with mic
- Dialer application causing excess battery draw
Important note: Dedicated Mute/Speaker buttons have been added to the Talk screen
Additionally, once you perform the update, you can then verify that it is in place by pressing Menu -> Settings -> About phone. Then look for Software version, which should read “1.56.651.2″
Of course, if you were holding off or were not sure where to go. Just hit Settings -> About Phone -> System updates -> Firmware update.

I want to thank you for all the GREAT work and info you have given us. Hats off to you and your team. Cheers Cd28rc
I plan on purchasing this phone come December when it finally becomes available here in the U.S. I am also happy to have read today that they are soon releasing a firmware update to fix the sluggishness that had been reported in reviews. I do have one major concern. I am switichin gover from Windows Mobile. I am a big Microsoft supporter but I just couldn't deal with Windows Mobile anymore. I did like however how I could sync my contacts and Live Mail account with my phone effortlessly. Is there any app available or in the works to support Microsft Live Mail and contact sync? I do not really use my Gmail account. And I have read about the forwarding option.. But I'd really just like to be able to put my preferred E-mail account on this lovely phone. Come hang out at http://www.HTC-Hero.com and thanks for reading.
I bought a Sprint HTC Hero last weekend. I set out to buy a Palm Pre, considered the Samsung Moment, and came home with the Hero. It's incredibly versatile, like having a mini wi-fi PC with a phone attached. I'm confident I'll get used to the touch screen QWERTY keyboard. (I'm using firmware update 1.56.652.1 — looking forward to 2.0 in early 2010.) You _can_ use any email service you like – I set up my AOL account as well as my GMail. I think you'll like it.
i bought HTC-HERO in two years ago and it locked my gmail address what is for the solution this problem?
