New hero update

Mr. Rager

I just downloaded a new update for my hero OTA. Does anyone know what changes are in it?

I also got the update today - just a few minutes ago. (Version : 3.32.405.2 )

While it was downloading and applying the update I did a few searches and discovered that a lot of others are also having difficulty establishing what exactly is in the update.

A few people mentioned that it fixed the G-Sensor calibration problem (a problem that I was, and remain, blissfully unaware of). Other than that, I've no idea what was in it.

Hopefully it'll fix the problems with Wifi/Mobile that the last update introduced.

Waiting on my phone to reboot ....... <rubs hands>

Oh right... I was hoping for something more spectacular

Not sure how many are having an issue the same as myself where certain important widgets are missing from either the home screen or even from the widget list when you go searching (twitter, weather, mail, favourites).

Found a solution here for anyone who needs

it does put your desktop back to the original installed version (any saved desktops will be gone but you do get you widgets back). But it doesn't take long to pop them back in (just remember to resave you desktop once sorted out)

Tis a bit crappy to have to do this for such a small update.

To make use of this new corrected calibtation
within Settings> Sound & display you can re-cal your device.

It does seem to work better my compass app would never fully calibrate correctly it was always skewed to one side, now seems fine.

So i've run this update, and i've now lost the default clock/weather widget thats normally on the 'home' screen. Any ideas how I can get it back? I can't seem to find it under the add widgets menu

Edit: Fixed - had to reboot and the widget re-appeared in the widget menu.

My Wifi and Mobile widgets seem to work properly now. That is, I don't have to reboot to get them to work.

Other than that I haven't noticed any difference.

Looks like it has fixed the facebook problem, I can link my contacts to facebook now.

Since upgrading to 2.1 my HTC Hero has gone to the dogs...Slow, unresponsive, reboots while opening mail or text messages.

Just downloading the latest update. I hope some of these issues are resolved in this latest update.

HTC's IT crowd dont fill me with confidence I've had to contact them about several bugs they have introduced to vanilla android and their response's leave a lot to be desired

I haven't experienced any difficulty when moving to 2.1. But the new update has made the phone slightly faster in general.

Only bug I have had is that I get a notification saying my youtube account is not syncing. However, its is!!?

Sorry I meant bugs encountered when creating apps and running them on HTC devices, when the Hero was on 1.5 they had broken some pretty significant API calls.

2.1 doesn't seem as bad although I have come across one broken API call already.
