I Actually just got my HTC Hero a few days ago and i have not been able to send picture messages. Im on Tmobile US and have tried just about very combianation of apn's possible and with a Big NO GO. I Also contacted T-mobile but they were unable to help me and i even talked to various reps.
Ok so well everything else on my phone works just fine such as calling, sending normal text, using the internet and RECEVING Picture! But i just cant send them. Is there anyone else with this problem and were you able to find a solution? I've had my phone rooted since i received it so i dont know if after rooting it stopped working cuz i never tried that. I would like to unroot my phone but i just dont know how. I would need a nandroid backup of an unrooted image so if anyone wants to help me with that. I'd appreciate it!

Update: After trying the Hero forums with no luck since the forums are small and most users are new to android i decided to give the DREAM forums a go... Has this happened to anyone with the G1??
Thanks to anyone who can help!

I don't know how that's going to help since they don't even have the G1 on the page.

I might go as far as to say that it might be a network issue with the carrier. But it's hard to say. I have tried the Hero build on my G1 but unfortunately, I haven't even tried sending MMS. I'm reasonably certain that if it wasn't possible then someone would have noticed it and posted it along with the other issues (such as bluetooth and led). If you've already tried all the APN's then I really don't know what else to tell you. Sorry man.
Did you do an upgrade, or wipe your ext3 partiton, fix the partition and wipe the device. Then re-install the ROM. That worked for me when stuff like Gmail and that were broken.
from what he said he has the HTC Hero phone not the G1 with the Hero rom, i dont know where you would go for technical support
Yeah, actually there doesn't seem to be a place to go for technical support! The hero forums are dead. nothing new has been done to the Hero besides being able to root!
im guessing i will have to send my device back for a refund as i really do need MMS to work!

That works. But idk what you're trying to do...
That ROM is a stock ROM for the HTC Hero....
It can't be flashed on other devices like our Raphaels.
Sorry,

I saw somewhere on one of the many ppc news sites that they had a working hero port to touch pro.
I'm guessing it was either someone that redid touchflo as I saw something about someone completely redoing it,
otherwise it's an android port with hero interface.
I have no idea where its located, but it is in beta stages as they're trying to get a few more things working.
I don't have the bookmark anymore either unfortunately because my computer crashed not too long ago and I lost them all. :/
I'm sure the original poster had no intentions of bricking someone's phone, I would never load a random ROM on my device from a brand new poster, though. Also, honestly, this kind of thing belongs on the ROM board, not here in the SW board.
No offense is intended. You might be the greatest ROM developer of all time, Gaza-god, but until I can see some evidence of your work, I would NEVER load it to my expensive-as-hell phone and risk it on your recommendations alone. I recommend the same caution to any newbies here....and codybear, you should be exercising more caution, as well...
Before this gets started let me say I'm not a developer in no way I just feel I know quite a bit about most of the 2.1 roms floating around so if you have probs. Post here and somebody is bound to help you ill try my best with the little amount of knowledge I have

OK, I'm game. Normally, I've been on here a couple of months and am pretty good about just finding my answers via search, but no luck on this one. Maybe I am just lost in the huge number of posts in the DamageControl thread.
I've been on DamageControl since last Friday. I read about ESPN coming to Sprint TV, so I decided to reinstall Sprint TV and see how it looked.
I grabbed the apk from Flipz prekitchen and used the package installer on my phone to reinstall. Sprint TV worked fine. Then I opened it again up later to show my wife, and I got an error message "You must be a Sprint customer to use this application." Eventually, I tried uninstalling Sprint TV and reinstalling it. It worked on the first try again, but again, later tries gave me the "You must be a Sprint customer..."
Ideas?
damage isnt actually a sprint rom its a verizion rom so more then likely thats the problem and really wont be fixed till we have a sprint 2.1 release it might work on the legend roms though thats worth a try

its all about ease of ascess man one thread with mad problems is much better then spreading the problems out amongst multiple rom/custimaztion/literally every thread you can think of
I am going to give my sister my Hero when I get my EVO and I was asking her if she wanted me to keep it rooted and keep the roms up to date and she said yes. When I give her my hero and she takes it to sprint to have them port her # over to it will they have to ruu it to do that or will they just leave the phone alone and punch a few things in on their kiosk things to change the #. Thanks for the help!
Crap. I was perusing the general thread and still though I was over there. Mods please move this to general. Thanks and sorry for my stupidity.

Just demand that they keep it at 1.5; they won't have to RUU, they'll just have to essentially "reactivate" it.
No it doesn't matter if it's rooted at all.
I'm mailing it to her and she isnt the most tech savvy person so she wouldnt know at first if they RUUed it or not because I'm running a 2.1 rom. Im just wondering what they would do if you brought it in and didnt say anything and wanted them to activate it on your number.

They can't say nothing why don't you just call in and just do it for her?

I would but I dont really know what I'm doing with phone activation stuff. Only time I've dealt with activating phones is when they are brand spankin' new so I dont really know how activating an old phone or someone elses phone on your number is. Sorry for my lack of knowledge and general noobness on this subject.
Or activate it from sprints website..
Activating by phone is incredibly easy.
If you've switched your EVO to your line already, it's really going to be a matter of her calling and asking to have a swap performed. They'll ask for the imei/esn, possibly have her use an unlock code to reprogram it (although last time I didn't even have that) and then reboot.
Takes about 3 minutes and the service person will tell her what to do step by step.
Just make sure to specify that this is a SWAP and not an upgrade.
Ok sweet. I figured it would be decently easy. Thanks for all the help guys
cant you activate the phone online using the esn if so that would be the easiest way to activate it for her

so how did it work for you?
This is partly a matter of curiosity and partly a technical question. Since Cox has officially launched Cox Wireless in Hampton Roads, Omaha, and Orange County, we can be a little less paranoid about talking wireless tech.
And there will undoubtedly be some non-employee customers here, though they're all lucky enough to be able to start with the HTC Desire. I'm stuck with the Hero until they come up with some upgrade program for us early adopters.
So who here has Cox Wireless with a Hero?
More importantly, who has Cox with a Hero with CyanogenMod? Can you get MMS? If so, I may have other questions...
No I don't have cox. What is MMS.
lol, no. but a while back when i made a custom splash i remember seeing a great splash modified for cox, so whoever requested that should be on cox as well, here's the thread. cox, lol.

Heh. The only Cox splash I see on that thread is the one I made. Nobody requested it, I just figured I might as well share.
I made it partly because I wanted to "re-brand" my Hero back from generic HTC/CyanogenMod and partly because I wanted to prove I could make a prettier logo screen than our paid developers. Seriously, the Cox logo on the official ROM is tiny and grainy for no apparent technical reason.
And apparently two other people downloaded it.
Two people downloaded Cox.

I *had* Cox wireless with the HTC Hero but I dumped the service and went with another carrier for an Android 2.x phone because I can't even use the Cox HTC Hero for the things I want. Many of the apps I use such as Skype, Firefox, and just recently many Google Inc. apps, Google Voice, PayPal, and many other apps I like, aren't even found on the Market because the firmware is not supported. Its stuck on Android 1.5 and when I asked Cox tech support if there were any plans to upgrade the firmware I was told they have no intentions of upgrading the firmware. I wasn't interested in paying more money for an upgraded phone and restarting my contract from day 1 all over again after I've been on the service for the first year. I still have the phone though and looking to find some alternative uses for it besides selling it which I think ultimately I may end up doing because no matter what I try doing with it, or install to it to make the phone more appealing, I almost always get the error that this program cannot be installed to this phone.
I was considering trying to upgrade it to 2.1 but I'm kind of reluctant because word on the street someone tried and it bricked the phone. Although I don't know how true that is.

This is true. I get the feeling that the Hero was more of a proof-of-concept or beta test phone and they had a bunch of them left over at launch time.

It's doable. Someone I know in one of the stores actually got a laundry list of reasons from the HQ in Atlanta about why we couldn't/shouldn't do it ourselves, so I upgraded to a proper 2.1 HTC Sense ROM just to prove it could be done safely and with full functionality. Then I upgraded it to Cyanogen 2.2 just for the hell of it.
But then I switched to a Desire when they came up with an upgrade program for us employee early-adopters who got stuck with the Hero. My interest in this section now is purely out of scientific curiosity.
ok....Im new to xda and new to rooting a phone but i cant take this 1.5 on the hero any longer and am in deperate need of directions on what i need to do. i was promised by cox that there was going to be an upgrade and now we find out that this will never happen. please help
you need to run the ruu from a computer witch will uprade u to 2.1 or since your still on 1.5 rooting will be easy for u and u can install a custom rom.also if theres a sprint tech store in your area they should be able to do the ruu for you regardless if your on a smaller regional carrier.
I got an HTC Vivid today, After spending an awful amount of time looking this thing up and o.s. and yadda yadda to make sure there are updates to get it up on ICS. I need something to run 4.0. and this is driving me NUTS! I get the phone booted up and check for an update. Said error, not unusual for where I live SO.. I turned to HTC. Downloaded the HTC Sync, will not even register my phone. Phone can not locate it either. I talked to HTC, finally got fed up with them as I guess they did not understand I just needed my phone updated. After HTC, I called ATT tech support. After wasting 45 mins of my time they tell me to go to a store. So, I go to the store. Mind you our car blew a rotor yesterday and this ATT is out of town. We get there, they tell me they cant help me because the update needs to be done over wifi and this certain ATT does not have wifi. Great! then i proceed to show them the error message. They tell me it's some kind of software malfunction. Well, now I'm back home beyond frustrated and asking for some help here seeing as this wasnt as easy as I had hoped it would be.
I know the general idea of all this but I have never done anything with a phone yet so if someone can help here, BABY STEPS LOL! Talk to me like im 10 I dont care Just want to get this done so I can go about doing the things I need to, whole reason I bought the phone. Thank you in advanced!
NEVERMIND

This is what I did, it forced my Vivid to download the update
Easy peasy:
Open the dialer and dial: *#*#682#*#* and hit send. Might have to do it a few times, took me 2 times but it worked for me an my phone is running 4.0.3 now HTC sense version: 3.6
Hope that can help someone else down the road if need be!
I was personally ready to kill my phone though as I only had a few hours lol
I wasn't attached to it yet. So make sure if you try it, you are ready for the possibility it wont work.
