Your Hero Questions Answered, Part 4

Posted at 9:08 pm PDT, October 22nd, 2009 by John Walton

Here is my 937th instalment of the DroidDog Hero series. Seriously though, I shipped the phone off today so if I missed a question that requires a video answer, it just isn’t happening. My speaking volume jumps up and down a bit depending on what time of day or night a given segment was recorded, so you’ll have excuse the Billy Mays effect.

EDIT: Why did I think you needed root to run Cose Everything, Advanced Task Manager, etc.? That is wrong.

You don't need a 3rd party app for ringtones. Here's what you need to do:

On your SD card, /media/audio/notifications is where you store files to use for app notifications. /media/audio/ringtones is where you store files to use as phone ringtones.

If these folders aren't there, just create them.

Yahoo Mail is available to the Hero at no cost, the very same way it's available on Blackberry.

You mentioned in part B that you were required to pay something like $19.99 a month to use Yahoo mail on the phone. I set up my Yahoo mail account with the standard Android mail app without having to pay a cent.

Thanks John for all the videos!

I did ask a question last time about if a GSM Hero phone charger would charge a Sprint Hero spare battery. (like would the dimensions fit in a GSM Spare battery charger)

Thanks again

I did look into this, but was worried about giving bad (possibly dangerous) information. I'm glad I looked again. They are not compatible: http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.as...

FYI, you dont need root

John Walton

Am I imagining this, or at one time did you need root for those apps? My mistake.

John Walton

Thanks for pointing out the error. I hate having one posted without a correction.

not sure about that, i only came to the android world when the mytouch came out. and ive given up rooted roms for stability in the stock android, ao i can confirm that advanced task manager still works

Acsteffy87

to end tasks just download Task manager from the Market, there are also free versions but this one is the best one out the IMHO

Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I've had this phone since Oct 9th and have been following this site for much longer. I think your analysis is spot on and appreciate the time you put into these videos. They are very well done.
