Sprint Hero Getting Some Love

For those of you who thought your Sprint Hero was dead, think again! Sprint has released a new update: software version 2.31.651.7. It is supposed to fix the GPS and dialer issues and this is an OTA update. All you need to do is hit settings on your phone, system updates, and then HTC software update. Some people have already pushed this and are saying the dialer loads in seconds now instead of a full minute prior to the update. Sprint has also confirmed another update for the Hero in October. A lot of people are speculating as to whether this will be a 2.2 (Froyo) update or some kind of patch for 2.1 update 1. Sprint has said that the Hero will not be getting Froyo, and that pretty much shuts down that dream, but you never know. One can still hope for an official Froyo release on the Hero! Until then, keep your fingers crossed and hope HTC and Sprint have been paying attention to what some developers have been able to do with the Hero in regards to Froyo.
