All the other points has been covered... So:

I miss my d-pad. Try using the HD to go to Call History and view the contact details of the third caller down. You can't! No Way to move down. If you touch the contact, it calls him!!

-> Flick

Try finding a contact with the last name that begins with 'M' when you have 100+ contacts who begin with 'M' and the one you want is in the middle of the list. Oh, "just start typing part of the name" you might say. I DON'T WANT TO!! I'm using one hand. The only way is 'flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking'.

You've heard of "tennis elbow", now there's "flick thumb". What a pain!

-> Basically, i never used the contacts list :). Always use the dial key, bring up the keypad, and use smart dialing - much much faster. and yes, its 1 hand operation. You probably not aware of this obvious function? E.g. if you want to call John, type in your keypad 5606 :). In the contacts list, There's a alphabet along the screen... touch letter M and it brings u to the M part of your contacts list... i dont think any of us have less than 100 contacts in our phone :).

All these are purely your problem for not learning how to use it. not the phone's problem.

The Touch HD surely has flaws, like any other phone, but all of your problems can be avoid by learning how to use it.

I could go line by line and combat everything this member says is "wrong" with the HD but I wont. All i can say is i am just not hving the problems he describes :) None of them with maybe the exception of I simply just dont use the camera. I use my real camera for pic taking

The one thing I miss is the roller-wheel of my hermes. But it sounds like I could remap the volume rocker to do something similar, anyone tried this?
[Touch HD General] Jim_Fear:
I've never used a full touch screen phone before, so like a cautious person I went in to the Orange shop and asked for a demo, which they were happy to give, and realised it wasn't all that daunting. A number of the annoyances with it so far are thanks to the not-so-touch-friendly Winmo 6.1, when someone cracks Android for this thing (apparently the Touch HD will be the new T-Mobile G2 according to the rumour mill) I'll be more than happy to try it out, plus the modding community will fix it up with their godlike skills, I'm just glad I found these forums! :)
[Touch HD General] carola:
Objective view, please...

I think most people here did not get the points raised here or have not been objective in their response (it is obvious they are product of their ne gadget); the phone as Windows Mobile is not per se user-friendly. The interface incorporated by HTC is not perfect. The hardware is therefore inadequate since it cannot be complemented by a good piece of software :mad:.

HTC has effectively delivered this phone in the same manner as it has done with other previouus devices (albeit a modified soft keyboard) with keypad. Even the TF3D for a WVGA screen, there is not difference to VGA devices, only larger icon and the Stock tab!

Excessive tweaking of the device is not always a good solution as it impacts other areas of the device.

Therefore stating all this is down to user is a best an over statement. :confused:

With all this feedback I wonder how HTC development team will feel! I for one do not complaint for the issues raised but admit they are serious problem. I can recall not being able to open the battery cover and having to refer to the manual, still it will not open. Only after several attempts the process became easier.

The iPhone is not always a valid alterative either, since many people wish to have applications that are not designed for this platform, such as any device car navigation program. This is particularly true in this case, as the poster clearly stated his background!

Personally, I must say my main decision for purchasing the BlackStone was merely for the screen size, having used the Universal for over year and then going down to Polaris (screen size wise), and with no sign of the Omni, I was “forced” again to a half solution. Any other aspect of the device was secondary in importance…
[Touch HD General] MicTh:
Ha, ha, ha...

Ha, ha, ha... thanx for the laugh, angry man :p

All new gadgets takes some getting use to... The HD i no exeption, especially when you cant use the software your used to because of the screen.

I love my HD though..
[Touch HD General] Looking Glass:
What a sound response carla!

I've been quite concerned about HD since I ordered it, and then once I got it (overpriced on HTC distribution orders to retail stores), etc. And finally with many "small" issues I wrote in other threads.

So I fully understand the feelings of angry users.

Has anybody noticed we, (concernerd users) are greatly defined by our previous machine?

It has come to my attention through this and other forums, that ex-TRINITY users are prone to be "in love" with it and not very pleased with HD.

I think this is really somthing to be investigated.

Finally, toying around in a phone store with the machine (if you have had the chance) is not enough to put all the blame in the "unconscious" buyer, it's simply not fair in todays e-shopping.

HTC did a very poor job putting the HD in the market for Christmas time, hope it will get fixed over the time, but i'm still very upset with HTC way of launching new devices.
[Touch HD General] calvinzhang:
i totally understand you.after using 3 HTC devices, i just find that this company has the ability to make a better WM phone, but it doesn't, and won't.(may be that's a marketing policy)

try sonyericssion X1,it's also a HTC made product,but doesn't have so many problems as HD or the other HTC phones and even far more better. don't believe me? just try the both and let the truth talk.

people in xda are very nice and helpful and like to fix the problems but they can't change HTC.

really disappointed by this company
[Touch HD General] Looking Glass:
Do we have the same ROM?

I'm sorry to disagree with you in some points Chris, but:

1.- if I press a call in my call hystory, IT STARTS A NEW CALL!

2.- How you get the old options about an entry in your call history? Well you have to go to menu, etc., not that intuitive.

3.- I have near 4000 contacts, believe me, flicking IS annoying, it was one of the reasons I discarded the iphone. Holding down (or up) the dpad moves you one letter at a time on your alphabet list, quite fast.

4.- Finally, the virtual keyboard is poorly implemented, specially if you have large hands (Iphone one is leaps ahead) and the standar WM keyboard is stylus-only. Someone mentioned the phone keypad, he/she obviously uses a language without accented characters, who, Guess what? ARE NOT SUPPORTED!!

Sure, you can be tweaking the thing forever, but usually you screw up other things on the way, too much tweaking make things unstable, this is a proven fact in computers.

We should be a bit more tolerant and not flame anyone who dares to critizise our "admired" gadgets.

Regards.

[Touch HD General] kokkie:
One post en still no reaction from the topicstarter. Just my two cents :rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] evilskanker:
I think the two of you may be talking about different 'Call History' screens.

The 'screen' above the dialpad is not the actual 'Call History', which instead is accessed via Menu->Call History (When on dialpad).

That might be where the disagreements lie.
[Touch HD General] Looking Glass:
That's right, this is what I pointed out: you have to go through the menu option, since there is not dpad.
[Touch HD General] WhO_KnOwS:
Or you can hit "Call History" right on the TF3D home tab

...i jave both a trinity and a touch HD. If you are so unhappy, i can exchange my trinity for your HD.... it is a free market for free buyers and free offers!

[Touch HD General] miki1971:
I am dissatisfied by Blackstone and I come back to my old Polaris. I dont like anything from dialer that if I want to see the numbers I make a call, interface does not fit in a screen so large an iPhone like interface he was a lot better, the keyboard is subtle bigger than Polarisis, in return phone is hard to keep in hand. Expect new ROMs otherwise is like I throw my money on the window. Sorry for my english
[Touch HD General] KukurikU:
i have them all (look at my signature);)

from my experience every device has a hate-love period. look at the first pages in diamond forum! diamond haters and diamond fans (i still am one of them) fighting like is no tomorrow :p this period is passing after ppl begin getting used with their device.

yes, trinity was good and yes, diamond is much easier to hide in yr shirt pocket but HD had an SD slot and bigger screen neermind that am still trying to understand why it comes with netframe 2 :eek: and so on, and so on.....but who cares? in a few month just when we'll all get used with our HD they'll lure us with a new shiny toy. in a few years somebody will write here an angry post about his new HTC Stelar (or what ever) and about how much he is missing his old HTC HD:D be cool, enjoy playing with this gadgets and don't forget: they supposed to be "only" a mobile phone. the rest should be only a bonus.
[Touch HD General] deli_gt:
HD is good but I sold it.

I bought HD because of the hardware and tough it would have android almost in the beginning but then I started to realize that it wont come fully functional in many months so I had to sell HD because of the crappy wm 6.1.

As for the hardware it's the best device in the earth, I didn't notice that there wasn't d-pad in the use, camera is much better than any other wm devices except omnia's. The screen is perfect, battery was good, loudspeaker good and the design is very nice. Only thing that could be better is the touch responsivnes, compared to iphone.

I'll say buy it if you don't hate WM it's the best device after iphone 3g which I owned before HD and own now.

When there is a well functional port of android for HD, i'll throw my iphone from the window and get another HD, but till then i'll use iphone because osx mobile is very good in use.
[Touch HD General] Chris Cross:
Ah, yes - you're probably right. I don't see a problem with the call history, but the "short history" above the dial pad IS quite annoying. To select an entry without dialing, you have to touch and swipe left or right. Then it switches through the different entries (mobile, private, email, sms) for that contact. Once selected you do have to go to menu etc. to enter the contact's file. That whole part is, in my opinion, poor design.

It would have been better if next to each entry there were a small "call" button that you would have to tap to actually call. Or even easier, don't call until I press the big green call button on the bottom. :) That way, you could tap on the entry itself to select it without calling. I would suggest: one tap selects entry, swipe left/right goes through that contact's numbers, and double-tap opens the contact's file. It's a shame that they didn't design that part better.
[Touch HD General] Nerdino:
Indeed, a reasonably sensible solution, and one which I'm sure will be configurable somehow (with a bit of tweaking and registry hacking) one day soon? Coupled with the big green call button at the bottom it would make this feature work the way I would expect and want it to work. Here's hoping one day...

As for loving or hating the HD, I for one have come to the HD from a Wizard!! Believe me, the HD is not too different in operation (I ran WM 6.1 on the Wizard thanks to XDA-developers) but it is leaps and bounds ahead in technology. There is very little to touch it on the hardware side of things. I agree the WM interface is not the best for a phone, but things are getting better. There will probably be a few oversights for certain software features expecting a D-pad but so far I have not found anything I just can not do without it.

However I'm digressing; I wanted to say I got the HD because I wanted the Pocket PC, not the phone. The HD is the business as a pocket tool that runs software. It's a bonus that it also has a phone in it. I'm not ashamed - I love the HD!

...And the "back" hardware button is very handy. Just try to use it, you'll find how useful it is.
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Thanks for insulting the intelligence of every person here who loves the device and actually knows how to control it.

I hope you find something more useful to comment on before every sucker starts realizing what a tool you are with phones.

I agree with a previous comment: I could comment on every problem you have with the phone but I just won't. Search hundreds of other threads where I and other people already did. It's not like these things haven't been said before.
[Touch HD General] vaughan:
All new devices take some getting used to and the user to work out what works best for them. The first few weeks in owning a new windows mobile device should be treated like a voyage of discovery, along the way finding exciting new shortcuts, tweaks and finally arriving at your destination to discover a fantastic piece of hardware suited to your every need.

I have been using HTC's for several years and have had a blue angel, hermes, and a titan before my HD... oh and a boring iphone. I did always hold an affinity with my blue angel (when flashed and tweaked) over the other devices, mainly due to the amount of memory, screen size and better video playback. I think it is about what you perfer and sometimes what you are used too. I loved the hardware qwerty keypads and thought I could never do without one, how wrong I was.......

I must say that all those feelings for my giant silver brick have now gone. I love the HD it is an amazing device. Just ask my lovely lady as given any opportunity she would dispose of it in a flash!
[Touch HD General] EmilN:
Works fine for me, I can move up and down the list with no problems.

Ah yes, the day when devices magically understand what person we want to call just by specifying his/hers first letter in the name, will be a glorious day. Seriously, what did you expect?

I use it. Just because you dont use it, does it make it useless?

While I understand that

could

be a problem, I've never had it. When I take the HD out of its protective thingie, I keep my fingers on the sides of the device at all times, and I've never had any accidental answers/ignores.

Have you tried locking the keys? ;)

It is very touchy, because it is a touch device. And as far as being expensive, I'm sure you noticed the price before before buying it?

try

fastboot flashing lock

That worked.

I wasn't on my main machine, so I also updated to make sure to have the latest fastboot. Just used the portable version from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-windows-adb-fastboot-february-2023.3944288/

I think my issue was I was on an old version of fastboot.

Edit: I fixed the below issue by doing a factory reset. I setup the phone after the first "lock" reset it does and I had the issue. After a factory reset from within android, all is working well.

I am though no longer able to set a screen lock. Any ideas other than flashing the beta?

Screen lock was already charged. Try again with the new screen lock.

Hi,

I've been looking for the answer but couldn't find any.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HertogJanNL:
Yeah it annoys me too. I use S2U2 as well and I hate that both the dialer and the contact list don't close after I made a call or receive one. The registry solution from the other thread doesn't work with the TF3D dialer. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kevlah:
Have you tried Advanced Config > Phone > End Call Delay? I haven't myself so I don't know if it's the time it takes to disconnect the call or the time it takes to close the dialer. Worth a try.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HertogJanNL:
No, that's the time it takes for the phone to end your call after pressing the end-call button. Which is ridiculous, when I press the button I want to end it immediately :rolleyes:.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] defaria:
I agree. Of what purpose could it possibly be to delay the end of the call?!? I mean if you could recover from accidentally hitting the end key that would be one thing. But you can't so any delay is just plain stupid AFAICT.

You can also use Advanced Config to turn off the silly animations and sounds at start up or shutdown. They also do little else but make start up and shutdown longer...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HertogJanNL:
I've switched to the WM default dialer now, as was suggested in this thread, let's see if it it works for me. I liked the HTC dialer though :(.

Hope it will be fixed in next official rom or somebody from XDA will find a solution for this annoying issue.As U guys sad when I press end button i wanna end immediately ,not in 5 sec!.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HertogJanNL:
I now use the phonecanvas cab for my Diamond, so I don't have to use S2U2 anymore. But I believe this only works with the HTC dialer.

Hello everyone, I have a question:

Do someone know how to communicate with a device via serial port, using a DOS software on android?

Context: I am working on engines with an old HALTECH F9 (ECU from '90s), and communication is made by a serial port (RS232). For this, I am using my computer on W10, using DOS Box and a PL2303 cable (drivers supplied), and It is working very well. But, I would like to have a more volatile setup, using my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, and a DOS Emulator. Unfortunately, i tried Magic Dos Box (paid version), and it doesn't work using the ttyUSB0 config in the config file. I read that i need an application to communicate with the PL2303, so I intall Serial Port Terminal, and it detects my PL2303 (and led goes blue on the cable). With more and more research, I am not a developer so I would like to know if someone already does that kind of setup, and how if it is possible.

Thanks everyone ! GTX
