My HTC-Hero

I have had my Hero about a about 4 months now. So far no complain :-D that’s good and I thought it might be helpful to share some tips/tricks in this blog.. :-)

1. First thing to do is to Calibrate the on-screen keyboard. Setting > Locale & Text > Touch Input > Text Input > Calibration Tool.
2. Of cause everyone would love to have their own MP3 ringtones.. sooo you can load your MP3 files (maybe need to do some editing on the file) into these directories on your memory card:
   • SDCARDS\MEDIA\AUDIO\NOTIFICATIONS (this for SMS or Alert)
   • SDCARDS\MEDIA\AUDIO\RINGTONES
3. To bring up a menu with your recent apps – HOLD DOWN the HOME key for a few seconds
4. To activate the speakerphone - HOLD DOWN the SEND key for a few seconds
5. To activate Google Voice Search - HOLD DOWN the SEARCH key for a few seconds
6. Taking picture maybe a bit difficult to press the trackball. Alternative you can HOLD your finger on the screen (this will focus and snap a picture). Problem is don’t know which part it will focus on heheheh.
7. Ok this is one of the tricks, Press the MENU key twice it will unlock the screen so you don’t have to scroll down the screen to unlock the phone.
