Intercept or HTC hero? - Intercept General

I'm using a HTC hero running the latest of CM7. I have a chance to switch to an intercept. Is it worth it? I can live without a keyboard.

The Intercept has a keboard but Im pretty sure the hero is a better phone I know there is no CM7 or any CM for the intercept also there are a couple different versions of the hero so I guess it depends on what you want or need .

No...I wouldn't recommend that.
Intercept is very difficult to work with and is a it of a #fail as a phone.
Hero is WAY better.....

Thanks. Guess ill stick with the hero

was going to say the hero its just better looking

I woulda said Hero too...

I own an intercept, which is why I'm on here right now...
...stick with HTC. Funny enough, the keyboard is a major part of why I bought the damn thing. That and the price. I wondered why it was so inexpensive.....http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Hey guys! Every android phone is getting 2.2 exept the hero. But don't worry.... we'll give you an updated 2.1 that fixes sprint TV and NFL mobile....... The crowd goes wild!
If they really are only releasing an updated 2.1 then they really are major a-holes.

Not true. We would need a Legend/Aria/MT3G Slide 2.2 ROM to port it over. IIRC, the Desire has an ARMv7 processor while the Hero has an ARMv6 processor

Traded Epic for Evo; Custom ROM not allowing activation on Epic?

Hi everyone. Yesterday I traded my Epic for an Evo (for my own personal reasons - regardless of how FUBAR they may be to you). I love the Evo and everything is going well... UNTIL the guy I traded makes me aware of a small little problem: Sprint says I can't activate the phone with a custom ROM on it.
I guess I must have forgot to tell him to not let Sprint in on the phone cracking, but too late. Now he is saying he needs me to help him put the phone back to stock. It currently has Quantum ROM 1.3 on it and clockwork mod and all that stuff.
Do any of you believe that the phone won't activate with this ROM? If so, do you have any recommendations of how to get this guy up and running - remotely? He lives 40 miles from me and it was a hassle for us to meet up yesterday.
Flash the modem stickied at the top of the Dev page using ODIN and you're golden. Why don't you just call sprint and activate the phone. You don't have to bring the phone into a store.
We did call Sprint and they put it in the system and everything and said it was done. However, the phone never activated
BTW, I am at that page and looking for the stock ROM. I see a couple of 2.1 ROM's, but neither of them seem to be the stock official 2.1
The stock tar is stickied at the top of the development thread, just follow the directions.

I took a chance at the method at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786266 and it worked perfectly. His new Epic works great and is back to Android 2.1.
Thanks for all your help everyone!

Yes, at sucking, the EVO is faaaarrrr superior I agree..lol
But realistically if your gonna make those kind of statements at least claim why you feel that way >.>
Last time I checked my evo was slow as piss and everything lagged, including the Notification area, App Drawer and the whole 9 yards. On top of that it liked to eat battery like a starving child. Htc needs to learn how to make graphics drivers. XV6800, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2. The cycle never ends, well besides the G2 of course.

Nice sig,,,
I thought the nexus one would be number one...
I have been using Ultimate Droid rom, and it's so much better than CM7. It's way more stable, and offers more customization.
I wish it had the following Cyanogen does, because it would be nice to have some other Evo users to help support and exchange ideas.
I think Evo is probably dead last in groups using UD. It's popular on Motorola Droid series phones. You guys should check it out. http://www.udrom.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1218-evo-ud-325/
interesting..
but way at the bottom of the list .. the desire is listed at 1 install.

Have you tried CM7 final? I haven't tested UD so can't compare, but CM7 has made me a believer and I'm definitely off the Sense wagon. Anyways, I noticed that UD incorporates wimax source from teamwin/cm so that's gotta say something for CM.

Yah its the HTC passion.
lots of people with Evo's, and Sprint won't release 2.3 = people looking for other ROM's.

[Q] General ?s about the EVO 4H

I have several ?s about my evolution. First, I backed up my Sprint Sence but decided to install Rom Manager. When I checked my backups, my HTC backup was gone
Or is it? If I need to reload sense, what do I do? Second, I loaded the latest Gingerbread Tom which works very well except for a couple of things. The HDMI does not work and the music player doesn't play my music like HTC Sence and Cyanogen Mod 7 did. I showed it the correct folders, but I guess it is probably in the wrong format. What do you suggset. THANKS!
not be an ass, but I suggest middle school English classes. I need more info.
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
Lmmfao... middle school though?

1) Flash a Sense rom the way you flashed the others if you want Sense. If you can backup/restore manually, don't use ROM Manager.
2) I'm sorry your HDMI doesn't work. I'll bet if you read in the thread where you got the rom, it'll tell you that it doesn't work. Solution: Flash a HDMI capable rom.
3) You can either use the music player from CM7 or download another one from the market. There's about 952 of them. I doubt that the file format changed when you switched roms, but that may be a bug with the the Evo 4H.
4) Read this: http://noobgui.de/wiki

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Thinking of switching phones. Help with another option?

I love the My touch 4G to death, but my wife doesn't seem to like it much. So, I'm need to find something to replace hers. Her's is being used unlocked on AT&t. So, does anyone have any suggestions? On eBay I can sell it for $200-240 so, i'd like to sell it and buy a replacement. It needs to be GSM (AT&T or T-Mobile phones are fine), in my price range and have similar specs. I have really can't think of anything. She hates it so bad she's using her old Samsung Magnet until I find her something :/ lol

She can't make text messaging signature and it doesn't have a keyboard :/
I've already talked to her..... There is no reasoning.
I've never heard of a text messaging signature before.
Good to know about the other thing, though. So the only requirement is a hard keyboard?
Stick with the my touch..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
For the text message signature she could try using Go SMS Pro in the market.
The only gsm android phone I can think of with a keyboard is the G2. I've used it in the past though and found it to be slightly slower than the MyTouch due to the smaller ram and lower processor speed. I agree that she should stick with the MyTouch.

So no need to change the phone, just change the ROM.

If anything don't get the g2 I had it. It's slow as hell outside the stock Rom. Has a good build quality to it though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
if she wants to have a physical keyboard then your gonna have to switch phones, id say go for the mytouch 4g slide just cuz it would be a more familiar platform and cuz the g2 would be a downgrade in hardware
Hard to imagine not liking the phone over those two reasons. Swype is so much better and faster than conventional texting. And as for the signature, I'm not rooted and I use GO SMS. As already mentioned, it has the option to add a signature. Plus it's much better than the stock text. JMO. Each to their own I guess.
After a solid year with my MT4G (which I am still in love with...) I just bought the GSII
Have to say so far, this phone's bad ass.
