how are you? long time no hear vs what are you doing? long time no heard

The first phrase 'How are you? Long time no hear' is correct and commonly used to inquire about someone's well-being and express that you haven't heard from them in a while. The second phrase 'What are you doing? Long time no heard' is incorrect because 'heard' is the past tense of 'hear' and doesn't fit in this context.
