No issues with my Titan, UI is one of the smoothest I've come across. No lags no restarts whatsoever
[HTC Titan] frontieruk:
How's the gps vs the hd7? I've found the gps on my hd7 a bit lacking
[HTC Titan] javierhd2:
Jeje mi htc titán is the best smartphone with Windows phone ;-)
[HTC Titan] mndgz:
What exactly do you mean? All HTC's I have are relatively good in aquiring GPS signal.
[HTC Titan] vc.57:
Thanks for your excellent work...:D
[HTC Titan] adesonic:
GPS is excellent, my Titan acquires a lock in seconds
[HTC Titan] voluptuary:
I don't know if you are still having voice recognition problems on your titan but have you tried setting all the values in "region+language" and then 'tapping' at the top of that screen to restart and set the region on the phone?
[HTC Titan] novyd:
Have you had the chance to check if the sd card is upgradable, like in the HD2 and HD7? Would love to put a 32Gb card in this.
[HTC Titan] mndgz:
No memory card slot. Major disappointment
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:
No. It uses the Flash NAND Samsung Internal Storage. Would outperform the SD Card and save the battery some juice. :o

Sorry for the stupid delay, i have to choose another host for image, uploading now.
[HTC Titan] adesonic:
On the maps point, Nokia maps will be available soon for all WP devices - should help a lot!
[HTC Titan] edved:
I love the phone but...

I love the look and format of the phone, but, and that's a big but, I am scared to death of buying one and accidentally dropping it and having it shatter, rendering it both inoperable and irreparable. I had an HD2 and loved it, but I dropped it once, at a height of less than one meter and it shattered the glass rendering it inoperable and contacting HTC, inoperable! I paid nearly $1000 for this phone and got less than a years worth out of it. Where on the other hand, I've been using the Samsung Focus since January and I've inadvertently dropped it numerous times in my nearly one year of ownership and the gorilla glass is holding true to it's name. This thing is rock solid.

Hence my being leery of jumping back on the HTC bandwagon. I would love to see a youtube video demonstrating the relativity of it's gorilla glass!

Has anyone experienced dropping the unit and it coming out unscathed?
[HTC Titan] rob_p:
My HD7 was ok at GPS signal, but could take a while to get a lock. My Titan seems to be basically instant, so certainly seems a lot better for GPS. Got Navigon running on it and it's brilliant.
[HTC Titan] rdy2go:
My first week with Titan:

Pros:

* excellent GPS - very fast and accurate

* good screen - color reproduction (not as good as AMOLED, but very good as LCD)

* very fast and responsive overall

Cons:

* 50% calls - other party cannot hear me (!!!) despite maximum coverage etc. ---> people are laughing at me because of that terrible bug

* dropped calls

* terrible battery life 12-16 hours with moderate use from 100% to 20%

* poor quality, slow camera

* stupid power button at the top!!!

Result:

trying to return it to the seller today

BEWARE! I was happy user until I noticed first, second, 3rd, 4th... call when other party could not hear me. What a bug...

I don't call neither receive calls too often so overall it's a good mini-tablet with internet connectivity, but not a phone to make and receive voice calls :)
[HTC Titan] win7463:
Anyone else having call issues? Expecting mine early next week from Expansys.
[HTC Titan] Wevenhuis:
Yes, have had these worries too with my HD2 and Titan at first. But that's what protective cases or sleeves are for. Waiting for my Titan case. Already have a black rubbery one for my HD2. Dropped my HD2 a couple of times, also from one meter. Case does the job.
[HTC Titan] adesonic:
No call issues at all, also battery life is much better than expected.
[HTC Titan] meandu229:
No issues with calls at all, very very clear IMO none dropped so far (3 weeks)
[HTC Titan] gaabrysz:
same thing here. The phone has been great so far. I moved from android btw:)
[HTC Titan] prjkthack:
That's actually pretty good battery life for a smartphone. A typical smartphone will be somewhere around 10-14 hours out of the box. Once properly optimized and configured, you can usually squeeze a couple more hours out of it.

If you want terrible battery life, you should see my Thunderbolt. 5 hours with moderate use.

Most of your issues just sound like the phone itself is a defective unit. No phone should be dropping calls and/or the mic breaking/disabling during most calls. That definitely sounds fishy.
[HTC Titan] rob_p:
I'd agree - the issues described sound like a faulty handset. I had problems with a buzzing earpiece, but returned it and got a replacement today, and calls are no longer buzzing but seem very good quality. Not had any of the other issues described, and hopefully the new handset will be the same!

At the end of the day, this is a new model, there will always be teething troubles, but that's why you should be able to return for another handset within 7-10 days.
[HTC Titan] soullinker20:
how durable is the sleep/wake button of the Titan? can it handle the exposure since it's the only button to activate the phone? I came from an iphone so i'm really concerned on this.. my ip4's home button is pretty unresponsive now for most of the time because it's already a year old but i still have the sleep/wake working fine.. and the Titan has only one.

thank you
[HTC Titan] uiqjirka:
Pros:

* excellent GPS - very fast and accurate

* very good screen

* very fast and responsive overall

* battery life excellent

Cons:

* power button at the top
[HTC Titan] soullinker20:
why is it exactly a con to you? are you finding it hard to reach?
[HTC Titan] uiqjirka:
Yes because of the size of the device it the button for one hand control/managing placed to much on the top of it. It would be better if it will be placed on the side of the device.
[HTC Titan] win7463:
Awesome. Got sent out of town for work so the Titan has been sitting at home for 3 days waiting for me. Upgrading from HTC Surround. Also had a Samsung Focus but broke the screen. Loving Windows Phone.
[HTC Titan] jag233:
I can honestly say I love everything about my Titan, had the HD7, changed to the sensation for a month, could not settle with it, sold it and bought the Titan. No regrets.
[HTC Titan] bitterncarp:
Launch your phone using the camera button. No need to unlock and one press takes you to the home screen.
[HTC Titan] fallenmonk:
Close to getting one myself. Can you watch tv on it ?.

Has the standard of apps improved ?.

Any plans for a keyboard ?.
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:
i don't know if you can install T-Mobile TV on it.

TMOUS USA has the T-Mobile TV

AT&T has the U-verse.

No idea bout UK
[HTC Titan] ajftl:
anyone having issues typing after using youtube video... like it lags one sec then starts tying normally...always happens after watching a video from youtube.. rebooting fixs problem..
[HTC Titan] domineus:
has that problem listed above and others

in gaming (like sonic) the lag is unbearable. It's fast in many tasks but when you game or run something intensive, lag ahoy which is a shame...

this was almost the best windows phone released
[HTC Titan] spd_rcr:
I'm really surprised to hear this, on the android devices, the HTC phones only lock onto 4-5 satellites, while their Samsung counterparts are locking onto 10-12. GPS & Camera quality were my only 2 big concerns. I'd like to replace my the Garmin in my car.
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
wow,outstanding review! Very detailed! Great job :)

I currently have an iPhone 4 but after playing with HTC Radar,I fell in love with WP7 :D and I'm planing to jump ship but I'm kinda torn between Titan and Nexus,I know they're in different leagues but....
[HTC Titan] nebo99:
Same here - very much torn between the 2. Hardware of Galaxy Nexus but software of Titan. Any thoughts would be great!
[HTC Titan] Flytetymex:
Domineus,

Try disabling the Audio Enhancer that HTC has enabled under "Settings" and "Sound Enhancer" . Someone posted a tip on another Thread here that some of the games were lagging. It pissed me off because I was showing off Sonic and it would get laggy in certain parts. I disabled the audio and all the games that were laggy to me were no longer laggy. Give it a shot and see if it works for you.
[HTC Titan] pkapadia:
You can sync all your bookmarks, contacts, files etc irrlevant of whether you use a MAC or PC. You just have to sync it with Live drive which is a free Microsoft service and gives you 5gb of storage space. It will actually even sync files between your computers (Mac and PC) as well as as let you securely connect to a PC remotely from a web browser.

Actually that is what insurance is for. I am very clumsy with my equipment and have had several replacements for different devices. At least in the US you can add a rider to your renter's or home owners policy for a cell phone/computer equipment and it only cost less than $1 a month. It covers everything from theft to accidental damage and most of the time no deductible. Hope this helps. At least you dont have to worry about you breaking your phone!

Thank you for sharing the information, it's very detail!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
So a while ago I wiped my phone, and when I was reinstalling all the apps one particular app was not in the market anymore. I didn't think twice and just found the .apk somewhere and downloaded it there.

I used market doctor on all the apps.

I got this today

Does anyone know why it's not available? Is it a phone restriction or a I carrier or country? I live in the US.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Yes Shootme was taken off the Market by the dev. His feelings got hurt from some of the comments left:D

Actually it stopped working for me one day, tell me I don't have root blah blah blah.

I'm happy with Screenshot ER now
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espeanage:
CM7.1 has built in screen shot capabilities now by holding the power button down which brings up the power off, silent mode, etc. ShootMe stopped working for me too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
I know, but it takes shots at low res, and while I like it for simple things like sharing a screenshot, I do do a lot of graphic design and sometimes I need high-res. Shoot Me was the only one that worked well for me that tooks shots the dimensions of the screen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekrich:
Hello,

I need to reset my phone back to factory settings, unroot or what ever you call it! How can i do this? I have got a usb jig so that i can reset the counter. Do i just download a stock rom and do it that way? Or do i plug it into kies and then restore it that way. I don't need to keep anything on the phone.

Thanks

Richard
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Flash a complete stock Rom using odin. Latest for your region.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohbuckeyeman:
What do you guys think, does our lowly HeroC have what it takes? Also, even if it does, do we have the devs left to get it going? Sorry...I'm all geeked up for the announcement tonight. Plus, I'm not due for an upgrade until March...eek!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
What do you think?

And, also.. please move this to the Q/A or General section.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohbuckeyeman:
Sorry. Will do once I'm on my pc. Not sure I can move it from xda app.

Also, I'm hoping for some official cm8 love or something along those lines.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubnub82:
Eventually!? At least I hope we do.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastin1015:
If I can get the damn SDK to boot lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohbuckeyeman:
I have faith! You got HC to boot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubnub82:
That would be awesome if it did but i believe that you can do it seeing that you got other things working like HC and Sense 3.5.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohbuckeyeman:
I know this is in the wrong section. Anyone tell me how to move it to general? Just thought I would see who else was psyched for ICS like me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jurellz:
We probably have to wait till a low end device comes out running it, or it gets ported to a similar device, like we had to wait for the Pico. Only time will tell. . .
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastin1015:
Or source is released so CyanogenMod can work on it and CM9 is released...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB13:
Man i know you can get it to work You done some pretty amazing stuff on here and if you cant maybe you can get Jaybob to help you or something
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenny buster:
with the navigation buttons at the bottom, it might be a little cramped. sure we can change the dpi to like 120 but my phone lags when i try to make everything smaller and fit more on the screen.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shakes27:
Or if the navigation buttons can be removed... who knows. Of course even cramped ICS would be great on our Heroes.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_camacho:
Im almost positive we will get some sort of port of ICS. Ever since froyo the companies have been saying that the hero simply can not handel the new updates because of minimal system requirements. However I red an article with a Q&A about ICS, and one of the questions was what are the minimal system requirements for ICS? The anser was none that i can think of right now. ICS is meant to bring Android tablets and phones toghether in developmental terms. Google is trying to unify android, rather than have phones rounning one type of android and tablets another. It has even been said that ICS will be available for older devices of up to one year old or so. But in closeing im prety optimistic about a port for the Hero, and probably sooner than latter.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scataldo721:
Considering that our devs got the source now I'm sure were gona see ICS can't wait
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tutone:
I downloaded the beta version of ICS for hero to see how it looks and feels it"s a little buggy it has some things that need to be worked out like not being able to pair with bluetooth device and bluetooth turning off completely and not being able to turn it back on again... Also when trying to turn on wifi hotspot the phone just hangs there saying turning on wifi screen I let it run for 5 minutes before I rebooted my phone... This rom is in early stages of devoplement and if and when the stuff that isn't working gets fixed I see this as my next rom of choice... Nice work jaybob on a job will done and a million thanks to you...
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
I finally got the email today stating they're gonna change my plan if I don't stop tethering. I'll lose my unlimited data & have to pay another arm for my bill. What should I do? If they change my plan I could get out of my contract, maybe? If I stop using it they won't do anything right? What if I "accidently" used it like once a week instead of everyday? How did they even catch me? If anyone else went thru this I need some suggestions. Thanks
[Captivate General] erraz:
I got the letter last month and I'm still teathering
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
They said if I didn't change it by the next bill they would change it. Keep me posted if they change yours let me know please.
[Captivate General] Captain Zero:
I got the same letter from AT$T and I've never tethered so I'd like to see them prove squat. I don't think they can tell but I do suspect they send anyone that letter running a non-stock ROM.

No longer sent from my BlackBerry.
[Captivate General] gilpdawg:
Nope. I've been running non-stock ROMs on ATT for a long time now, and I don't tether, and I've not gotten a letter.
[Captivate General] Red_81:
Remember that AT&T is using your browser agent string to determine if you're tethering. If you are tethering, try changing your browser agent string on the computer you are tethering.

Somewhere there was a post on the whole thing but I'm having trouble tracking it down right now.
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
Has anyone actually had att change their plan because of tethering & lose their unlimited data plan?
[Captivate General] bames:
if they change the terms of your contract you have

30 days

to cancel without penalty

[Captivate General] seanpr123:
Is this listed/detailed officially anyplace?
[Captivate General] TTGZDOG:
Cant do ****

they cant change your plan because they cant prove your doing it and they cant chang your contract
[Captivate General] quarlow:
They can cancel your unlimited data at any time. You did not sign a contract with unlimited data, you signed a contract for 24 months service. That's why you can cancel your data at any time, and change your rate plan at any time. You also agreed not to tether in the att terms and conditions (unless you purchase the tethering plan). By tethering you have already violated your end of the bargain. Somewhere, either in store, on the phone or online when you signed up for unlimited data you agreed not to tether. They are within their right to not only charge you more for SUSPECTED tethering, but to also back charge you for previous months. They have no burden of proof. They may not force that issue, for fear of bad PR, but they are well within their legal rights to charge you for tethering, and hold you to your service contract. They have been known to send accounts to collection, and hurt your credit.

I am not saying I agree with them, bug its all in the gigantic Terms and Agreements.

Don't be under the false assumption that they cannot charge you more, or that by charging you more you can get out of your contract.

Am I the only one using Straight Talk? $45 a month everything unlimited(so far). I get my service from ATT towers but dont actually answer to ATT. I tether on the regular but nothing big. Mostly browsing. And big downloads. Where i live dial-up is the only option so I feel like I have no choice(Yes I still live in the US). Straight Talk has no tethering plan but their T&S clearly states they're against it. Straight Talk themselves probably doesnt care. ATT problem right? And ATT cant say anything because I dont use their service. Who's problem am I?
[Captivate General] bames:
If they change the terms of your contract (including adding or removing features) you

DO IN FACT HAVE 30 DAYS TO TERMINATE YOU SERVICE WITHOUT ANY EARLY TERMINATION FEE
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Data is not part of your contract.

You are right, if they do in fact alter the terms of your contract you can terminate. But, by charging you for illegal tethering they are not altering your contract.

*#$% DATA IS NOT PART OF YOUR CONTRACT.

YOU

AGREED NOT TO TETHER. YOU VIOLATED THE TERMS NOT AT&T. %$#*

Data is not part of your contract.

I hope I said that enough.

Go ahead, continue tethering, and when they charge you for tethering, stop paying your bill. Report back how that works out for you.

Look up the Wireless Customer Agreement on AT&T's website. Section 6.2.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Read your TOS. In it ATT states that they reserve the right to change you plan as needed as long as they let you know. And tethering without a tethering plan breaks your TOS so you would still have ta pay the ETF.
[Captivate General] eqt2010:
Does that mean AT&T can't tell I am tethering if I tether my wifi-only Android tablet via my phone since both of them are running Android OS?
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Only att knows for sure what they look for. They have not, nor will they ever, tell customers what they look fir to determine tethering. Browser agent is the best guess at this point.

With that set up you should avoid detection, but there are no guarantees.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[Captivate General] seanpr123:
Great question, my understanding was the browser identification method was one possible way to ping a person for tethering, but there were other possible methods available they could (more work for them perhaps) be using to track people. But nobody knows for sure.

If it is just the browser I would say you're much safer than a person tethering to a normal computer installation.

edit: Ha, quarlow beat me to it by a few min.
[Captivate General] goraps:
I am not on AT&T nor am I a US law expert but the fact that you keep pointing out "You Agreed Not to Tether" seems to imply that there is a contract. Otherwise what exactly did you agree to. A contract does not have to be written as far as I can remember. If data is not part of a contract then I cannot violate any TOS because as you state there is no contract. Your voice and data may not belong to the same contract but I would bet that there is some sort of contract that governs your data and thus any laws regarding changing the Terms of a contract should apply.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
That may be the case, another contract on top of your service contract. I am also no legal expert, so my terms may be wrong, but the point us the same.

When I say contract I am referring to your 24 month service contract. There is no time associated to data use, that can be cancelled at any time. There is a "Terms Of Use" or similar you have to accept before they turn on your data. People don't associate that with your "AT&T contract", though you may be right, that may be an additional contract. The service contract you signed with att is not tied to data plans or rate plans, just that you agree to carry AT&T service for a certain period. You agreed to certain additional conditions when you started data.

In the "Wireless Customer Agreement" it says att can disconnect (or modify) your service without notice, for violating the terms (specifically noting improper data use and a slew of other things), and you are still liable for the ETF.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Not to be rude to anyone, but just so this debate has a little more information, from 6.2:

"...Furthermore, plans (unless specifically designated for tethering usage) cannot be used for any applications that tether the device (through use of, including without limitation, connection kits, other phone/smartphone to computer accessories, BLUETOOTH® or any other wireless technology) to Personal Computers (including without limitation, laptops), or other equipment for any purpose. Accordingly, AT&T reserves the right to (i) deny, disconnect, modify and/or terminate Service, without notice, to anyone it believes is using the Service in any manner prohibited..."

Seems to spell it out pretty clearly, and it's the terms of service that everyone on AT&T's network signs when they agree to service.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Thanks for posting that, I was having a hard time posting it from my phone.

Bottom line, no matter how you word it, att enforcing policies you already agreed to does not alter the terms of your contract. So, you cannot get out of your contract simply because att is now charging you for a feature you are using, that you previously agreed not to use.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
Has anyone actually had or heard of att actually following thru with their threats? They sent me an e-mail, text & letter in the mail about it. I'm gonna stop but still need to tether to get my labtop online to print stuff once a week. I don't have a wireless printer to do it thru the phone.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Yes I have seen it enforced to a few peoples dismay, lmao boy were they mad.

Bottom line in all of this is that ATT has every right to do this as everyone signed the TOS, which almost no one ever reads. Maybe now you will read it before you sign your name to it.
