THE HERO ECLAIR UPDATE IS HERE!
GOOD NEWS! If you have a Sprint Hero and a PC, you can download the update from HTC directly.
If you have a Mac, bad news, you need to use a PC, since the installer is a .exe file.
The download is QUITE large (118 MB) and as everyone is swarming the server, the download speed is slow (as of the this writing, 3.3 MB per sec, which is a 2 hour download.)
Please NOTE: If you try to do a download via the Sprint Network, you will not see that there is new firmware available. You must download this from HTC and use a PC to install this.
D/L speed is more like 15KB/Sec… When will OTA updates be avail?
After 7.8 MB downloads, it times out leaving nothing but a corrupted download file on my machine…. Repeated this twice…
We are getting some very slow downloads, but they are not timing out…
HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.5.exe

Using Ubuntu for 4 years, no way I am or can go back to Windows. If there is no OTC update then what’s the point? May as well be a Microsoft product instead of google.
I have tried Wine as well.
Why is my Hero phone restarting everytime I End a Call? Its annoying it almost happens everytime.
I recently updated to Android 2.1
Any help?
