Sprint Release HTC Hero OTA Update 1.56.651.2
Sprint have begun sending out their first 'over the air' update for their HTC Hero handset. Before Hero owners get too excited, the update is just a maintenance and not the highly anticipated Android 2.0 Eclair update.
Weighing in at 3748377 bytes, the OTA update is reported to fix a number of SMS related issues which impacted battery usage, along with a fix to enable the device to function properly with DST.
If you're a Sprint HTC Hero owner and haven't yet received the update, then you can initiate the OTA transfer by going to Settings -> About -> System Updates -> then hit Firmware Update, and follow the prompts.
If you've noticed any other fixes, or changes after installing the update, then please let us know in the HTC Hero forum!

The “Beta” Google Tasks icon label is fixed! No longer read #13477778. Also the overall speed seems to have improved. Smoother, faster transitions. Please give us 2.0, though.
