[jelleverwer95]

You can chance the song logo place by tapping it for a few seconds

[08wilpri]

hold in the prev track to rewind and hold next track to fastforward

[yayocr]

play stream of internet radio?

[SimonSerenade]

lags too much on videos and such in my opinion

[ajaX227]

i hate this version of htc hero the US version with sprint is better in my opinion . i get it tomorrow. great review though

[Simon5005]

I've had this phone for about a month and I just think it's amusing that a phone that is supposedly "Google-powered" can't even play a freaking You Tube video which is owned by Google! I've tried everything including using different Browsers..........is there something I don't know? The YT icon on the phone as never worked...........I get "Video Cannot Be Played". Junk.

[ajaX227]

@Simon5005 you probably have bad reception where you stay which wont let the phone buffer the video sometimes. if not try using the phone's wi fi capabilities and see if that helps

[catrashoo]

lol liked the very end !!!

[Simon5005]

I'm still trying to figure out how to edit and delete music.

[dijji497]

Great video, does anyone know if the HTC music player has a podcast option? And will it recognize the podcast as a song or an actual podcast?

[samfau2]

Does anyone know if it sorts by "Album Artist" or actual "Artist" for albums? I have a lot of compilations and on my zune it was great because they'd sort by the album artist (e.g. ministry of sound) however on the ipod for example this does not happen.

[chieru91]

I'm having issues with my headphone jack. When I plug in my headphones the sound still plays from the phone rather then the headphones. Is there something I need to setup so the headphones can work?

[iLoveSk8boadingFilms]

@chieru91 i dont think so

[shortyyung]

@chieru91 i had the same problem, all i did was restart my phone and it was working again

[SuperMr30]

nice

[TechoPL]

will the music still play when you lock the screen? how do you lock the screen?

[violetdav]

this is more of a question than a comment - How do you stop the music? Or am I just supposed to pause it?

[AkisColdplay]

does the music player has landscape view?

[Bl4z3NP4]

is the sound quality good when you use the headphones becasue i use the music player quite a lot and because there no equalizer im just wondering....!

[avatardable]

Thank you so much

This is the type of info Iv been looking for. now I have an idea of what the phone is like just by watching the clips. Really helpful. Thanx!

[BwillBwill1]

[rafagames92]

Thanks for the review, I was looking for this.

[dalygirard]

[tmantonym]

I know it plays .mp4, but what's the maximum sizes for mp4? And what's wmv9? Does that mean it can play .wmv or what?

[RichboyJhae]

I'm with this guy^ Someone please answer.

[robm425]

How do you add music to the phone? I am thinking about getting a Verizon Droid but not sure how you add music to it.

This would be my first smart phone as I currently just carry my Ipod with me along with my krazr

[Evrae69uk]

I have this phone, had it over a week now and I love it but... I haven't found a graphic equaliser yet. Am I being dumb or does it not have 1?

[paul1320]

What format does the video have to be?

[darrelluk]

try locking the phone when the music player is playing, especially when a song has an album cover :-)

[etho42]

i thought the hero didn't have a 3.5mil audio jack? just the mini usb port

[asoccer345]

the magic doesn't the hero does

[Inmate527]

You sure do love black music dont you. I have never seen a white boy that has as much black music as you do in my life. Aretha Franklin Jay Z next your gonna tell me you listen to Gucci Mane.

[ScourgeOfHumanity101]

Are you trying to prove a point, or a you just being stupid?

[klasbadboy]

I can see the power bar going down after only 4 minutes that's not a good sign

[DoomKid177]

can anyone please tell me how to add the album pics on pleas

[Shawshank00]

The phone will lag...even more so when you use multimedia related apps like music, albums etc

[tech0StickyAsGlue]

no it dosnt .. if u have a vague clue on what to do with it u can get rid of the lag

[Shawshank00]

and what is that?...get a class 6 card?...root it or install the unofficial ROM update....turn off Sense UI? Please lets call a spade a spade, the phone is slow. Rate me down all you want.

[tech0StickyAsGlue]

na def not turn of sense its awsum :P

ye but u can always make a spade better :P

[ostesvin]

No "letter scrolling"!? I have like 3000+ numbers on my phone and I dont want to have to flick through all to find a song or two :-o

Same with videos and photos... so I really don't like (and never use) the flick through pictures, music on my HTC HD and don't think I'll "upgrade" to Hero if it's the same flick through system :-(

[cedqwig]

I think there is searching though...

[100moody100]

Hi mate, cheers for the videos as they helped me decide to get this phone. Now i have it i love it, however, i have one problem concerning the music player. When you upload music do you just do it by mounting the phone and dragging and dropping the music files? I am asking this because my album artwork from itunes doesn't show up on the phone when the song is playing. Do i need to upload the artwork seperately? Cheers, james

[cedqwig]

You probably need to embed the artwork as a tag rather than have itunes tag it :/

[100moody100]

sorry for being such a nube, but how would i go about that?

[moonlitegram]

i notice on a lot of these videos it tends to be kind of laggy from time to time.

Has that problem been prevelant with your experience or is it a rare occurance?

[jimbob150555]

@moonlitegram Hi, I have recently been sent a HTC Hero from Orange 'UK Network', it works fine with no lagg, im guessing this phone may be laggy for one of these reasons,

1. He has too many app's running and its slowing phone down - (this can be fixed by downloading Task Killer 'free' from Marketplace)

2. The phone maybe suffered lagg before an update mid last year.

The phone currently suffers no lagg and im astonished at its speed, puts my old iphone to shame.

Hope this helps.
