Give the Carphone Warehouse a call. I have been with Orange for years and when I wanted to upgrade to the Touch Hd at the end of last year, Orange were looking to charge me £100 for the handset.. I don't pay for phones, ever...

So, I told Orange to do one and called CW, they offered me a free Touch HD, unlocked and unbranded, and said I would be able to continue my Orange contract. I was sceptical, but 6 months on and I am still with Orange with the Touch HD. The contract was renewed and I carried on.

The most positive point is I didn't have to pay a penny to upgrade.
[Touch HD General] winwiz:
i ordered one yesterday! so this is not true
[Touch HD General] Siygess:
Man this is just plain annoying. Rang Orange posing as a new customer and the sales person said they didn't have any Touch HD's and didn't know if or when they would be getting any more in stock.

I guess I'll just give BuyMobilePhones a call and get one from them (once I call Orange *again* for a refund on the phone and postage of the return)..
[Touch HD General] veehexx:
orange business: still current model and no plans to dis-continue!

looks like orange have been trying to have ya :P

-1 for orange :(
[Touch HD General] mrbeardy:
i ordered mine from buymobilephones.net last week and got it in no time. free on a £25 a month with orange. best phone ive ever used!
[Touch HD General] monzablue16v:
Contract distance selling laws. Return it in as new condition and tell them you want to cancel it. Not going to be easy to get them to admit to it but it is legally correct so keep hounding them :)
[Touch HD General] scotia_rfc:
My sister has just upgraded to the Touch HD yesterday, so i think someone at Orange is telling porkies!
[Touch HD General] the archer:
I was kicking myself as i rang orange last week to upgrade but they wanted £195 to upgrade, so i called their bluff and requested the PAC code and thought i would ring back this week to see if they would improve their offer.

But I was told on Thursday the exact same thing by orange that they have discontinued the HD, they told me that will be replaced by the Touch Pro 2 but that it is still been tested and will not be available for another 3 months.

But many thanks to d8smt who mentioned mobile phones direct where i got the HD for free on a tariff of £35 per month on Voda.

I received the phone this morning just waiting for it to fully charge before i start to play with it :):)
[Touch HD General] insanekitty:
Tis true!

Just rang Orange Upgrades and they have discontinued it!

They are replacing it mid June with the HTC Touch Pro 2

Going to the orange shop to get mine as they have "old" stock in
[Touch HD General] hamyg84:
Htc touch hd discontinued already!!!

MOD EDIT

Threads merged

Can you believe the beatifull HTC HD/BLACKSTONE has been DISCONTINUED already. all good things in life dont last for long.... lets see what HTC has in store for us now
[Touch HD General] PoisonWolf:
TC,

Where did you hear this?

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] OpenAreas:
Ah yes

Another reason for me to cancel my 2 year contract with orange with this T&C loophole

Ill be rining them tomorrow

iPhone 3GS here i come!
[Touch HD General] hamyg84:
A source

A source at orange told me...
[Touch HD General] chalid:
Is your source some store-manager? :D

Why should HTC stop production without a successor?
[Touch HD General] Freypal:
Well it just means when Orange get the HDs replacement, if anything was to happen to my handset i get the direct replacement instead. IE when my K850i broke i got the newer C902 instead.
[Touch HD General] hamyg84:
lol....

personally i think it is just orange who has stopped it... i have a htc hd and now lets see what happens when it is not working... excited to see what it will get replace with.... :p
[Touch HD General] ibsa03:
well.. i hope they stop making it.. 1 thing i really hate is looking around me and seeing everyone using the same phone as me... i like exclusiveness, so let them go ahead and not make them anymore, whoever wanted one, has it already :P
[Touch HD General] LenMackin:
good thing too

On Orange this phone is a rubbish. From what I have heard its not that brilliant on other networks. I have one and despite debranding and using the latest roms from Dutty this phone..

Is rubbish at making connections, it constantly drops call or they fade out

You cant see the screen in sunlight

Lousy operating system from windows
[Touch HD General] arfster:
You must have a duff one. I've had it on Orange for 10 months, never had a dropped call.
[Touch HD General] digitl:
Care to enlarge on this please? I've searched but cannot find any reference.

TIA
[Touch HD General] scscc3:
nahhhh... they wouldn't dare. The Touch HD will live as long as the xda community keeps it alive by releasing new roms and hacks. :p

Vive le HD! xD

Besides... why would they? The store where I bought mine from says it's still selling like hotcakes after being released for a year. Plus, the Elf is still on the market too, after being released in 2007. In my opinion, It'd be a pretty bad move on HTC's part to discontinue the HD financially speaking. However if it were to be true, hopefully the HD's successor will end up being more than what we would expect. :)
[Touch HD General] digitl:
Orange told me they had only around 30 HDs left and were replacing it with the Hero.
[Touch HD General] Freypal:
Hmm i assume that on Insurance you would still get a replacement. Afterall the Hero cannot be considered a new for old swap as it runs a different OS for a start.
[Touch HD General] hamyg84:
i can confirm the htc hd is been discontinued,

i can confirm the htc hd has been discontinued. once the remaining stock in stores had sold out then that will be it. no replenishment..... so get yours while you can....

well, the hd is discontiniued by o2 in germany for quite some time now..

i don´t know why, though.
[Touch HD General] chimpsinties:
Does anyone have any experience of the HD on a T-Mobile or Vodaphone network? I know these guys will give you free data contracts but what is their network like? Is it 3G? or HSDPA? Or is it just GPRS?
[Touch HD General] dgattenb:
orange

I'm with Orange UK .. wanted to upgarde from an N73 to a Touch HD a while back ... oraange shops and on the phone wanted 400 quid to upgrade .. told em to sod off.. found a small shop in cardiff ( city road ) who gave me ( for free ) the touch HD on a smaller contract than the one I had ... over 2 yaers ( which orange would not do )

Shop around !!!!!!!!

Open Home has a really sick app dock, now if you have a custom theme you and you want to use a custom clock then open home is not an option. I am asking if someone can make a widget just like or very similar to that dock. PLEASE..... its a need in the "rooted community".
[G1 Apps and Games] f4phantomii:
Doesn't aHome let you do this?
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
Sorta

aHome is fixed at the very bottom while Open Home has a slide out dock where you can add as many apps as you want and slide it back and forth.

He wants a widget where you can have different docks though out the screen.

Have a dock widget on each line to reduce clutter on the desktop.
[G1 Apps and Games] DKYang:
According to what Sistum said. I believe Sweeter Home has this option although it's still in beta. I don't know if I spelled the name right though.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
there is one- sort of- a widget by bratag.

i want a live folder with most recent apps (like launchbar)...

Im using MDA vario 2..

i've been having this problem with my phone line..

on the pda.. it is always active..

but sometimes.. calls cant reach to my phone and msgs cant be received..

but ironically.. i can make calls.. but i am not able to send messeages.. the msg tells me tat it cant be sent.. its like my phone line is dead.. i requested delivery notification but most of da time i dont get the notifications..

so i have to reset my phone line every one hour or so..

is this due to the radio problem or hardware problem??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Scotty93:
i dont know much about radio problems but sometimes alot of problems are just because of the rom, you could try flashing a different rom but not a radio rom i wouldnt try flashin one of them unless you know for certain that it is the problem as flashing radios can brick your phone which would be even worth.

Hope some of this helps and hope you solve your problem.

Good Luck :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wyeyip:
hmm.. rom problem.. but flashing another rom would mean tonnes of stuffs again.. i';; have to install lotsa stuffs back to da phone..

hmm.. thanks for da info.. i'll see how it goes den.

hello my htc touch pro does not connect with activesync but the phone works perfectly
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rudegar:
usb?

bluetooth?

tried other usb ports if usb ?

tried another computer?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] masteryoda:
yes i have tryed all tha no differance it will not work with active synce i tryed a hard restaand all what i could think of
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ndda:
1. check the manual

2. get newest activesync from microsoft

3. check settings (connection - usb to pc)

4. keep in mind, that it does not work with vista (at least it's not that easy)

5. if all that does not help, google or post again... we should find a solution
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] freekquency:
Also, do you synch another phone on this same computer? XP/winmo hasn't previously allowed synching two mobile devices. However i see they are offering a mobile "suite" that will help with this. (at winmo site).

When i first got my fuze i went thru this very same thing. Because my kaiser was already being used on the same computer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] masteryoda:
yeah my kasier syncs fine
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pisqle:
You should backup your data and upgrade your ROM. Which one are you using now? My experiences says it may solve a lot of troubles...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mobius285:
had this same problem a while back. make sure you don't have activesync on your computer looking for the old partnership and try going to settings>connections(tab)>USB to PC and unchecking "enable advanced network functionality" or if that is unchecked, try re-checking it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chrisbjr:
Hi!

i connected my phone to my car speakers via a mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter and i was wondering if i could use the microphone of the phone because this registers it as a headset and is expecting a mic from it.

it would be great to take phone calls through the external speakers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rudegar:
never heard of it being possible

but then also didn't believe it was possible

to use the normal speaker when a headset

was connected but thats possible on some

phones where the headset is antenna for the fm radio
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ndpendent79:
I use the factory HTC Fuze 3.5mm audio jack dongle that came with the phone, and I am able to use the phone's mic by default while audio-out is interfaced with my car stereo. The audio comes through the car speakers. I have been told by the caller on the other end that it sounds no different than me using a bluetooth headset.
[Touch HD General] blastman:
hey all,

I've got my HD waiting for me at home as it has just been delivered.

I've just been reading the quick start guide from HTC's website and seen that they recommend that I charge the batt for 3 hours before starting the phone up.

Is this a good idea??

When I've ever got a new phone I've always used the partially charged batt until it dies then given it a full charge to help with batt memory.

Is this advisable??

cheers in advance :)

Hi All,

I have a problem with Active sync 4.5

I have to use Windows XP SP3 on my office computer. I can install Active Sync but when I start Active Sync, I get the error message user32.dll is can not be relocated and active sync is not starting.

Any ideas?

Thanx a lot in advance
[General Questions and Answers] onomakhreste:
Can you find user32.dll manually? It should be located at "C:\Windows\system32".

If you can locate the file, my guess would be that you downloaded a faulty installation package, and you should re-download.

If you can't find user32.dll, or if the above doesn't solve your problem, someone more technically than me will have to help you :p

Anyway, there's my two cents.
[General Questions and Answers] onomakhreste:
HTC has released a hotfix that will fix the annoying backlight issue on AT&T Tilt (a.k.a. Kaiser) phones running WM 6.1, whereby the backlight won't listen to user settings, and just shuts off when it wants to. Unfortunately, it is listed as being only for the Tilt. I'm not exactly sure if other phones even have the backlight issue; if someone has a phone with the backlight issue that is not a Kaiser, you might want to test it out anyway. I do not have nearly the level of knowledge as a hardcore techie or a developer, nor will I pretend to, but my intuition tells me it should work. Anyway, Kaiser-users rejoice!
[General Questions and Answers] techxjster:
Dont use on xperia

Tried this on xperia x1 with wm6.5 rom. it fixed the timer resetting but now when the back light goes off it will not come back on, at that point you have about 30 sec before the screen stops responding to touch, then a few more before a complete freeze. pull out battery and all is good till you let the back light die again.

Hi I have dropped my phone because somebody bumped into me at busterminal and now no display. Phone works but no display. What to do?
[XPERIA X1 General] vwrmic:
Well it's obviously broken. Now we have that out of the way you have a few choices.

#1: Go down the "I pay for my repair" route.

#2: It doesn't look like I dropped it... I'll ring Sony and say "I don't know what's wrong with it, but the screen isn't working" and probably end up getting a free replacement.

#3: Take the thing apart myself and fix it, I might have to buy a new screen.

#4: Throw it in the bin. Don't do that one!
[XPERIA X1 General] Euroman28:
oh you are funny guy, but then I turn on the phone in the dark the display lights up, but no feed from the phone.I didn't drope it on concrete but a plastic floor :confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
lol i think the sudden jerk of the phone when it hit the floor pulled the thingy attached to the screen from its socket, i had this same issue with my p910 few years back, all i did was opened the phone and made sure everythign inside was fastened onto each other and wasn't loose, and poof, that did the trick until my son emptied his bottle of milk on it few days after

hope this helps
[XPERIA X1 General] dogans:
I had the same problem 2 weeks ago.

Dropped my phone like 1-2 meters and the display went black.

There were minimal damage on the phone, almost non visible.

However, I took it to a service center and told them that it just went black, but they opened it up and saw that I had dropped it :(

$500 poorer now :(
[XPERIA X1 General] Euroman28:
The display came back :D :D :D

I will guard the phone like it million dollars now :) Nobody will ever bump into me again :)

Glad you got it working again. :) Best of all, it didn't cost you anything!
[XPERIA X1 General] Euroman28:
Yeah :) This is great. Sorry I called you names.
[General Topics] cannondale0815:
I am looking for an instant messenger application that is easy on the battery of my HTC Fuze. I tried Beejive, but it just runs down my battery in no time when connected. I also tried OZ, which uses SMS instead of a data connection. This of course saves some battery life as it doesn't need an always-on data connection, but it would also quickly decrease the pool of my included text messages.

I was searching for a solution that would allow forwarding of instant messages via email. And if I were to receive such an email, I could then fire up Beejive and engage in the conversation. Does anyone know about such a service? I googled like crazy but couldn't find a thing.

As an FYI, I am using my HTC Fuze on T-Mobile with the $20 Blackberry unlimited data plan and a bucket of 400 text messages.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
i would say that the im client is the least of the batt drain thing

the fact that the phone have to be online with gprs or wifi all the time

to be connected is what drains the power

which program would not make much of a diffrence
[General Topics] moSess:
I think I might have a solution... Scratch the Blackberry plan, add T-Zones 5.99 plan and an unlimited 15$ a month text plan and your good for a buck extra a month.
[General Topics] cannondale0815:
Not a bad idea, if I wasn't using the Blackberry Connect software to get push-mail -- which is surprisingly gentle on my battery, even though it uses an always-on EDGE connection.
[General Topics] pw120:
I'm trialing this at the moment, tempted to buy it when my 7 days runs out

http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=im&platform=pocketpc

Very little battery drain and when signal drops can forward messages to an email address you specify
[G1 General] tulamidan:
Hi, is there a way to trick the standard mediaplayer to play a mp3 stream rather than a file?

The mediaPlayer Object from the SDK just takes any source not matter if the link points to the lokal filesystem or a link to a website. But I don't get it to work :/

I try to play http://www.motor.de/extern/motorfm/stream/motorfm.mp3 for example and I tried to put it into a m3u playlist. But the mediaDetectorServer (or whichever) always deletes this file. Any other ideas?

[Edit] Before someone asks: I try to use this for my alarm clock to get woken up by internet radio.
[G1 General] cigar3tte:
You are a brave man. Do you really want to risk being late to work because 3G/Edge/Wifi was down?

Sorry, I don't have an answer to your problem. I use StreamFurious for my Internet radio needs.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You know anything about linux? Create a fifo named "something.mp3", dump the network stream into the fifo, play the fifo. Should work. I'm not going to bother trying though since it really doesn't matter to me. If you don't know what I said, then google search is your best friend.
[G1 General] tulamidan:
Hm... dunno sound like a bit of a hassle to me. Might work all right though wit gScript. Hm...

Well I'm having a try with modifying the source of the musik.apk and/or the alarm.apk let's see how far I get.

I did not knew, a CAB file instead of an EXE file installer could make a difference.....then? a golden rule would be to use an .exe file instead of a cab file?

or u can just leave auto config and not dellete this

i'm sorry if my english is not fluently..:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Xperrier:

I will, but, after reading all the helpful post, I just found out my Xperia was still runing on Customization version R15A with the variant generik_uk,

Now after having made the update, I see that I have now the R2AA010, perhaps, this is also why I have or had, who knows trouble.... Do I also must update the generik UK ?

Now, if I like to try WM 6.5 do I must update thru the forum, tho the R3AA? or not? here, I am lost, and yes true cooking is ok with me but Rom and UI are not for me...better some Rhum and Coke...heahh:p:rolleyes:
