Just wanted to update with my current experiences: A week or so ago, I did a factory reset on my Hero. I went through the initial settings you have to do and then immediately turned off the Hero Sense UI and chose to use the stock Android UI by default. Well, yesterday, after I had updated a few apps (pandora, handcent, where), I decided to do a test and reset the phone, thinking to myself that I was confident that nothing would go wrong. Well, handcent and where had broken icons and upon running pandora, I noticed that the version number that I updated to didn't match the version number that it stated while it was running.
So, there is something amiss here. There were reports that doing a reset and switching UIs would solve the problem. I have just found evidence that it doesn't. Is this still a HTC issue? Not sure at this point. Are there underlying HTC things going on in the background to handle package management & display even if you aren't using the Sense UI? Maybe, maybe not. But, since this isn't happening on non-Hero devices, it makes me think HTC is doing something in the background that is causing some applications to cause problems. Thoughts?
