Well I guess everybody is happy with their hero except me. Don't get me wrong guys, i like the android os and i do think it looks better and has better functionality than the pre or even iphone. But common guys! I have rooted my phone and tried all of the roms her and NONE of them fix the Youtube issue. YouTube app says cant play video and when they do play the videos look pixelated and not in HQ as opposed to the pre that anyone whos had a chance to see Youtube play on it has to agree it runs WAY better no to mention the smootheness of the multitouch screen and overall seems faster than the hero. I was just disappointed that i traded a phone for another which was supposed to run better and cannot even run flash as advertised. My friend has the first model hero and flash and Youtube work fine but then Sprint decided to upgrade the firmware and now it is worse. Now before you go ahead and rant on me please just think about what i am saying which is all true.
Now, I wonder how are they going to make 2.1 run smooth if it is 1.5 and runs laggy.

This is just my opinion guys, just my opinion. Just tell me what you guys think, anyone who's had both phones.

So you have a Pre now. Stop posting in the Hero forum. Move on.

Still have the Hero. If anybody here can tell me how to fix the Youtube issue, the flash issue and overall speed of the phone without flashing any of the other roms here that have issues with force closes and apps not working properly after a while then i maybe will keep it. By the way, have you guys read the other posts with all the other people having problems with the hero?

So what youre saying is that all of us that are extremely happy with our hero, have had great flash experience, as well as increased speed from the new kernel are all just simple minded folks that got lucky?? Ok man. Well i guess i just feel like Youtube isnt a big deal breaker considering i can watch vids on my computer and 2.1 will be coming out before to long and address current issues. Just put your hero on ebay and allow someone else to enjoy it.

Here is how to correct the issue. Flash back to the 1.23 RUU.

Root the phone again.

Uninstall the crap apps you don't want. DO NOT INSTALL THE MR UPDATE.

Viola, youtube works. Phone is somewhat fast, not like if you were on Fresh Modaco or Gumbo, but youtube seems to be your biggest concern. There is also a Kitchen being developed right now for the Hero. Can you even flash a Pre?

yes U can flash a Pre. I use this custom pre ROM to remove the security bcoz I have to change the IMEI and ESN. If U know what I mean.

It also alows me to activate Using wifi. You cannot activate Pre without a Plan.
