[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djc:
My focus takes a while to boot up now after the mango update. After I shut it off then power the phone on it stays on "samsung" for a good minute before it loads up so I can use it. Anyone else?????

2nd.... The marketplace hasn't notified me of any updates yet.... I just updated earlier today...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovenokia:
my focus took a while to boot up the first day after the update in a couple days it should have speedy boot up again
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fb401:
It will take a little bit for marketplace to let you know about updates but when it does, it'll be large (I had 18 updates come through). Sometimes plugging into Zune makes the app update notification move faster.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylau90:
Agree with you,my mozart has stopped fetching the updates from marketplace for months...everytime i have do it manually,go into the apps i bought and press share and press back,then the updates will appear. Last time, connecting my device to Zune still works,but now it looks like it is not.

few weeks ago,i connected my device to zune,it also showing 13 updates to me.

this situation is so frustrating,hope microsoft can solve this out....god...as the apps installed on my device is increasing,the manual update thingy,not gonna work soon. Its so damn tired...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djc:
Ok! Thanks for the replies! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone on this...

Anyway! Mango rocks!!! Still missing features but overall they did a good job!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freypal:
just got mango update via notification.

no update notes for me yet either and if i look i cant see any... just share...

only one that had the option was samsung now and that is broken and wont update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djc:
my updates came through! Haven't turned my phone off so im unsure of the boot time
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freypal:
Ahh goodo. I'll just leave it for a day or so before doing anything drastic like re-installing them then!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freypal:
How long did the process of gettin app update notifications take for everyone?

I updated mine around 15 hours ago now and i've still had no notifications. I've been able to go in and "force" an update to check that it will actually work (had to go into the app, press back then re-open it).

Checking the versions of apps i have installed there are a number that are in need of updating.

Everything else is working fine, live tiles, push email, facebook chat etc.. all working well.

Just worried i'm not getting any... people seem to say wait a bit but surely not over 24 hours?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Samot:
I've had this problem for ages (running HTC Mango RUU) but thought it was just me. I've posted in different forums but no-one seemed to have the same problem.

Two days after installing Mango I had 5 updates for the HTC apps already installed on my phone.

A week after that I got one for Accuweather and then last week I got one for TuneIn radio.

During this time I've manually updated apps such as Flickr and HTC Hub.

It's a bit crap really as the update notifications used to be really quick but now it takes ages.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freypal:
Same thing here then... I used to get pretty snappy app updates. I don't really want to have to trawl through my installed apps periodicly to see if an update is available :|

Hopefuly it's just something to do with marketplace being busy due to the updates...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freypal:
Ok - Maybe my impateince?

They've just come through, got 13 updates pending! :s

I guess the network is just busy at the moment!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
There are too many posts on this, so let me share what I know.

If it is labeled as a full ROM: wipe everything and flash the zip through CWM.

If it is labeled as a PATCH: make sure a ROM is installed, wipe dalvik/cache ONLY (if you want to), then flash the patch over the ROM, using CWM.

Anything labeled [MOD] is a patch, if you're going to wipe anything its going to be dalvik/cache, but that's it. Thanks Blue6IX =D.

That is all.

BTW I posted in Development because some people don't visit other forums.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
This has everything to do WITH development. People dont read like there suppose to and they end up getting into a mess they cant get out of. Read read read. Developers ARE NOT babysitters. Thank-you for this. I Hope users READ this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nbetcher:
What I want to know is what is up with these black avatars with static in them? Some kind of stenography or can you not properly operate a camera? :P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Look at my username. Undeadk9. Black WITH a fog means death. Duh.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Uploaded using the xda app, probably had a crappy connection or something lol. Meh, not really a big thing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Just something to add would be:

[MOD] = patch

So people can get a better handle on thread titles, too.

Happy thread, thanks!
[HD2 General] metroidnemesis13:
This has to be a burning question in the HD2 community, as the device lives on into its 3rd year for some this December. I haven't seen a thread like it.

I have owned 2 HD2s and I've had one fail. I only had this one for maybe 6 months (it was six months old when it started having a fatal hit error--either from overheating or NAND problems). I only had the other one for a month (before I traded it for a Nexus S).

I'm wanting to keep an HD2 around to toy with occasionally but if mine fails every six months, I'm not interested in keeping it. I have seen some people on here that have had to send in their HD2 four times because of overheating/NAND issues.

I'm wanting to take a survey. Please post on this thread and tell me if you have had an HD2 fail.

I'M ONLY INTERESTED IN HARDWARE FAILURES NOT DUE TO THE USER--IE NOT IF YOU DROPPED YOUR PHONE IN THE TOILET AND IT WOULDN'T POWER ON OR YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE TRYING TO FLASH KAZAHKSTAN'S ROM ON A TMOUS.

1. Has your HD2 ever failed? If so, how many times has your HD2

failed? Do you own a TMOUS or EU version?

2. How long did it take to fail from purchase/exchange?

3. What was the nature of the problem?

4. Were you running your HD2 overclocked?

5. What were you running? WP7, Android, etc.

6. Did HTC check your bootloader/what you were running when you sent the phone in and void your warranty?
[HD2 General] psykick5:
1. Has your HD2 ever failed? If so, how many times has your HD2 failed?

Yes, twice. Once due to non-user error.

2. What was the nature of the problem?

Touch screen failure

3. Were you running your HD2 overclocked?

No

4. What were you running? WP7, Android, etc.

Android

5. Did HTC check your bootloader/what you were running when you sent the phone in and void your warranty?

No I restored SPL and WM 6.5 so they had nothing to piss at me for.
[HD2 General] metroidnemesis13:
Thanks psykick5. I also added a new category since I figured people would like to know on average how an HD2 lasts.
[HD2 General] zeus09:
1. Has your HD2 ever failed? If so, how many times has your HD2

failed?

Practically everyday if i use it for heavy duty. HD2 has become a basic phone for me only texts & calls, that's too only short calls.

2. How long did it take to fail from purchase/exchange?

Cannot recall, few months maybe after a trade in.

3. What was the nature of the problem?

Overheats alot and cannot use heavily and it reboots on its own after many rounds get fatal hit error.

4. Were you running your HD2 overclocked?

Nope

5. What were you running? WP7, Android, etc.

On wp7 it gets caught to a constant boot loop like mentioned above, Android gets stuck very often.

6. Did HTC check your bootloader/what you were running when you sent the phone in and void your warranty?

HTC dealership is not available in this part of the world :)
[HD2 General] Psyrecx:
1. Has your HD2 ever failed? If so, how many times has your HD2

failed?

um... well it started failing 2 weeks ago, then progressively got worse till complete failure

2. How long did it take to fail from purchase/exchange?

Just after the warranty expired... irony -_-;

3. What was the nature of the problem?

Hardware buttons screwing up the touchscreen

4. Were you running your HD2 overclocked?

Nope

5. What were you running? WP7, Android, etc.

First started while running WP7, complete failure happened on Android

6. Did HTC check your bootloader/what you were running when you sent the phone in and void your warranty?

Noop, they checked to see if it was still under warranty and when they found out it wasn't, I was told I should buy another phone.
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
No, Not even once :)

Currently, my phone has passed a year and about 5 months, phone is working seamlessly.

No, I've never overclocked my HD2 (and never will)

I'm running Android with cLK

by the way, I have EU version.
[HD2 General] MattOG:
UK Version. (EU).
[HD2 General] metroidnemesis13:
So by EU/UK version you guys mean the international version right? There were two versions as far as I know--the TMOUS version and the international version. After reading XDA I feel like most of the good ROMS and a few of the radios are cross compatible/support both models. Is this correct? I know the .51 radios instabrick the TMOUS phones.

Thanks for answering. So far it looks like the EU ver. is more reliable. I know there were some hardware differences between models.
[HD2 General] consolation:
3 versions, EU, TMOUS and Telstra. EU and Telstra are same except for different radios. Telstra can access the 850 3g band.

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
1. Has your HD2 ever failed? If so, how many times has your HD2

failed? Do you own a TMOUS or EU version?

Eu version. hasn't failed yet,

2. How long did it take to fail from purchase/exchange?

been using it for almost a year.

4. Were you running your HD2 overclocked?

I never overclock my device, I don't like risking it

5. What were you running? WP7, Android, etc.

I'm Dual boothing WinMo with countless Android build.

but my guess is that overclocking plays a major part in device failure.
[HD2 General] Richy99:
1. Has your HD2 ever failed? If so, how many times has your HD2

ive had this device since 20/11/2009 so it is very nearly 2 years old, never had any issues at all with it
[HD2 General] metroidnemesis13:
zeus09:

Did you have the EU vers? Does it still work from day to day and do the Fatal hit errors and reboots persist when you put winmo 6.5 on it?
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
He said :

I think he should be an exception.
[HD2 General] rikusuicide:

Touch screen failure, then replacement now has a memory failure. (5 vibrations before death)

4. Were you running your HD2 overclocked?

No.

5. What were you running? WP7, Android, etc.

Android

6. Did HTC check your bootloader/what you were running when you sent the phone in and void your warranty?

First time I SPLed and WM6.5ed it so no. Second time it's out of warranty anyway, so... no.

Mourn the HD2... I don't think I'll be able to get another... I think I'll go get a 4S :D
[HD2 General] metroidnemesis13:
I've wheeled and dealt on Craigslist a lot over the past two years and I've noticed that every TMOUS owner I talked to has had to send theirs in. Maybe EUs are more reliable.

[HD2 General] kidrythm:
bought in early 2010, buggy as crap, updated still buggy, android sd works Flawless!!!! spl 2.08 for droid install that never happend (mgldr had problems finding the sd card???) never bothered to replace 2.10 yet.

i am o.c.d. with the leo, it is emaculate. no case other than the stock silicone.

cannot wait for my 2 yr. to end in Feb.

so, no problems other than craptacular 6.5 buggz.
[HD2 General] fuglynutlock:
1. Has your HD2 ever failed? If so, how many times has your HD2

failed? Do you own a TMOUS or EU version?

Eu version. gps failure, 3 repair attempts by htc to no avail and 2 replacement devices. Original fault was loss of satellites and repeated rebooting/hanging on bootloader. All repair attempts made no difference. 1st replacement device didn't sniff out a satellite at all in the 3 weeks I had it. I've had 2nd replacement for 2 weeks and it seems ok. 3months of aggro and now it appears to be resolved.......

2. How long did it take to fail from purchase/exchange?

9 months

4. Were you running your HD2 overclocked?

I never overclock my device, I don't like risking it

5. What were you running? WP7, Android, etc.

Stock WM6.5
[HD2 General] pakure:
Have 3 hd2s mine and wife are international versions ( since January 2010 )., got US version for brother( August2010).... running all sorts of dual boots..wp7/ android.... wm/ android... no hardware problems ever
[HD2 General] Sinaptik:
1. Has your HD2 ever failed? If so, how many times has your HD2

failed?

Before after sales service intervention, everyday.

2. How long did it take to fail from purchase/exchange?

Two month.

3. What was the nature of the problem?

Touchscreen randomly stop to respond.

Left part of the screen "works", middle part is like you are tapping on the right edge of the screen, and right part was not working at all.

In this situation, impossible to unlock the lock screen, removing battery it was not possible to enter PIN code because of what I explained just before.

4. Were you running your HD2 overclocked?

No

5. What were you running? WP7, Android, etc.

WiMo 6.5, was trying Boyppc NAND with same problems

6. Did HTC check your bootloader/what you were running when you sent the phone in and void your warranty?

Don't know, but before sending it to after sales service (Cordon electronics in France) I cleaned the phone and set it as stock (no HSPL, task 29...), no problem at all about that.
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
Scared of jinxing it, but here it goes:

My EU HD2 has not failed me in any way over the past 9 months. I've had it overclocked at 1.2GHZ for the past few months, even had it at 1.5GHz for a month or so, still going strong.

Running NAND Android of course, what else is there?! ;)
[HD2 General] metroidnemesis13:
Do you own a TMOUS or EU or Telsus vers.?
[Droid X General] FrostyIcy:
Mobile Sensei has created a new custom rom for the DX basically with the ICS theme entitled ICX. From my understanding tho, I thought ICS was only gonna be built for android phones with dual core processors such as the DX2.

I could be wrong but can someone provide me with some insight into this. Whats the possibility of the DX gettin ICS?
[Droid X General] FrostyIcy:
????????????
[Droid X General] Eatwah:
I believe the Nexus S is only single core but I could be wrong. A couple weeks ago there was a leak of the Nexus S running ICS. I'm positive that theyll be a port of ICS to the DX :)
[Droid X General] silversonic1:
It's uncertain. The Droid X is closing in on being 2 years old. Google already forced Motorola and others to make sure they provide GB updates to this point. ICS may not be something Motorola will roll out for us.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
If Motorola doesn't provide an ICS update (that whole point is very debatable), ICS will have its full source released like all AOSP releases (Except Honeycomb).

With the 2nd init process of Rom Booting now avail to us, we will certainly get builds of ICS (CM8?)

I also hope (again, very debatable) that Google's acquisition of Motorola will eventually lead to an unlocking of the bootloader, which would make true AOSP projects even easier.
[Droid X General] FrostyIcy:
Yes this is exactly what I was thinkin as well. Not to mention how long it took for an OTA of gingerbread to be released for the X.....

I was thinking this as well. As you said all of this is very debatable. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. I'm leaning more toward the X not gettin the ICS (saying this hoping somewhere the droid gods will show their power and give us ICS, proving me wrong lol) just for the simple fact that the X is really on its last leg pretty much. In which I'm sure developers will create one.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] typci:
Just installed MIUI.

I can't figure out how to access the internal SD card. The hwuserdata folder isn't there. There is the option to switch to internal SD, but when I use it I can't access the external sd.

Does the MIUI rom allow for both internal and external sd cards at the same time?

I want app or something which will display smileys (emotion symbols) which are other than the stock smileys for eg. :), :))
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
Smileys I added here as exaple are showing properly but my message app (stock app) don't show it properly.

[Galaxy S II General] skibadee:
Try go SMS mate
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
I see what you mean,the stock android smileys are scary looking! Lol would be good to have a choice!
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
Actually u r right
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
there is no such software in. market
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
"Go SMS" is in the market. Try searching for "Go sms" or "gosms", they are both there.
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
No. this isn't the one m searching for. It is altogether different app for msges. I want an app which will makechanges in stock browser's emojis
[Galaxy S II General] kmaximax:
Chomp SMS from version 5.19 onwards supports EMOJI its a plugin for it from the market once installed :)
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
GO SMS PRO also has a plugin for this compatible with iPhone style.

But both are altogether different apps. And I want plug in for stock msging app.

Is der any such plug in?

Hey guys I'm due for an upgrade on October 25th and my x2 is only 3 months old....so here's my question should I just sit on the upgrade and wait to see what's to come or should I jump on the 4g bandwagon now?

X2ATRIX.4
[Motorola Droid X2] bswides412:
I would wait and see what the Prime and Vigour (I think) bring to the table. Just be careful or you'll be playing the waiting game forever because there is always a new phone on the horizon. Mostly depends on how patient you are.

I'd wait to see what ICS gets installed onto stock.

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah and I've read that the quad core phones should also have a separate 5th "low power core" that runs independent of the quad that will aid in preservation of battery for processes that don't require all that power. Sounds very interesting. Could be a huge step for better battery life.
