Here are my list of issues.

1) The volume rocker sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the volume rocker controls the playback of the track i.e. reverse/fast forward. Think it is linked to use of the headset. Like I say, this problem is sporadic, but annoying. The solution? Restart the phone.

2) Texting - something very basic. It annoys me that the space key isn't recognised enough so you can often type this 'haveyouheardof'... again it's just annoying. Same goes with the backspace too.

3) Still on texting - auto-capitalise doesn't work. This is just irritating beyond belief!!! I am a perfectionist and I want the phone to automatically put a capital letter after I use a full stop. It's not hard is it really?

4) Still on texting.... problem with texts not being sent and sitting in the outbox forever.

5) The screen - LOVE the screen but also HATE it. It's sensitive, but in the bad way, it recognises touches when you don't want it to but sometimes doesn't when you want it to. For example, use the MSN app and have the keyboard up in mid convo and try to scroll using the slider on the right and hold your finger down on the slider, mid way between the bottom and top of the conversation (sorry it's hard to explain), and the slider just flickers up and down as if its having a seizure.

6) The clock stutters SLIGHTLY when you press the home screen. It's just annoying - polish please.

7) Email sync often fails. Solution? Reset the phone - annoying.

8) If you hold the phone too hard against your ear, the earphone hurts your ear as it's sharp.

9) Multi-tasking. It's damn awkward even if it does it well, technically. It feels like I would kill for an 'alt + tab' type button a lot of the time.

10) Annoying perfectionist thing - when you're on a phone and you put it to your ear the backlight fades, when you take it away from your ear, the backlight comes back on. Sometimes it fades ON (good) but sometimes it flickers on (bad), looks sloppy and gross when it does the latter. I want continuity.

11) Battery life

12) LED notification light doesn't blink when you receive emails unless you hack the registry.

Task manager

The build-in wm task manager is anoying, so Dutty made a cab for the leo rom he made for the touch HD. It's simply the HTC task manager from the touch HD.

And it works like a charm for the HD2.

Just google "Dutty's task manager"

Remove your windows live account and re add it ensuring you don't click the box to merge/sync contacts with your address book.
[HD2 General] KingsGambit:
Many thanks for this reply, very helpful. I did wonder, when comparing the Omnia 2 to the HD2 about the battery. The former has a 1500mAh battery, a 3.7" screen and it's AMOLED so uses less power. The HTC has a 1230mAh battery and a backlit 4.3" screen...beautiful tho it is it's a tough one to live with. Until I bought the (Mugen 3000mAh) extended battery for the the TyTNII, it was always low :-(

I think I'll have a play with a relatives iPhone to see if I can live with the virtual keyboard, if not, the Sammy B7610 looks niiiiiice. This generation of WinMo devices is so close to mobile nirvana, but just falls ever so slightly short, it's annoying :-(

Hope this helped.
[HD2 General] jakem:
This is a funny one because auto-capitalisation works fine for emails. I guess HTC figure that people don't capitalise texts :)

Ha, I was complaining to my girlfriend about this today. Glad I'm not the only one.

Dutty's Task Manager should fix this for you. It makes app switching and closing a breeze.
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
Probably, but perhaps there are variables - in some devices it might be more noticeable due to different manufacturing line/process.

some people claim that they don't see a thing... I don't think they're blind. In that case, I would like HTC to investigate this phenomenon (sampling-wise) and perform a RECALL for devices which appear to be considered as "deviation" from their manufacturing standards.
[HD2 General] kasperknop:
First post updated.

I tried that too. Don't really know if it is better than having the original task manager bound to one of the 9 short cuts... The button is a little buggy Duttys, and sometimes the cross will appear at the same time as the drop down menu icon. It also does not include all the apps that the normal manager does, like communication manager... and then I have to get used to not being able to press the x all the time but use the hardware keys instead XD
[HD2 General] kasperknop:
Sorry have to bump this.. the messaging app lag is making me crazy! Sometimes I have to wait more than 30 seconds before I can start typing! Anyone found a workaround?
[HD2 General] fredskis:
For the messaging app problem just hit the SIP button or where it should be. This seems to speed it up for me.
[HD2 General] kasperknop:
SIP button??
[HD2 General] Enonoid:
Battery live would be far behind the Iphone, that is not exactly true. My friends all have Iphones and they need to recharge every day too. And sometimes even more.

And with the screen. Well the HD2 has one of the best capacitive screens available. And please Dont compare resistive to capacitive.

Its just a long learing curve if you are used to using resistive and now going for capasitive.
[HD2 General] Enonoid:
Yeah what is this SIP button ??
[HD2 General] shu8i:
i think its the "send" button. kinda working... send - no, and after that i can directly write a message
[HD2 General] msedhom:
I just realised turning off HTC sense, and using HTC messaging with the default windows 6.5 gets rid of ANY lag in opening up messages with a long history with a contact.

So im guessing its a ram allocation issue with htc sense, and htc messaging.

I hope someone finds a fix for this without having to disable htc messaging. Its getting quite annoying.

[Touch Diamond CDMA] mancsoulja:
This is really aimed at the mods!

There seems to be no info in the cdma section about upgrading cdma diamonds, hence alot of people dont know what to do, and could damage there device, if we arnt going to offer enough info wouldnt it be better to close this section and just send ppl to ppcgeeks? :confused:
[HD2 General] DAMIEN123_666:
hi all ive just contacted HTC uk line and asked about the camera issues with the pink/red tint in the midldle of the pictures and it seems that HTC expect a fair amount of people to complain before they will look at it, the person i spoke to took a htc hd2 out and tested it and she stated she had the same issue but untill enough people ring and complain its a bust

so if u want the camera sorted then look here and call to complain

http://www.htc.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx

p.s. do u think the camera issue is software or hardware related
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Is there a white balance manual adjustment anywhere? Haven't received my phone yet so can't check. I'm not talking about preset modes like "sunny", "couldy" and the likes, but somewhere where the colour temperature can be manually set? I'm a photographer btw ;)

Edit: saw the other thread about it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=584675&highlight=pictures with pictures! Could have something to do with metering modes cos this looks like it's getting the white balance wrong on some kind of spot or centre metering mode. Is there an "average" metering mode at all? Might be worth a try.
[HD2 General] DAMIEN123_666:
hi theirs no color temperature settings but their are three metering modes

-touch focus (spot)

-center area

-average

some tests of white/cream door:- autowhitebalance setting, super fine, everything else default, no flash

-------------spot----------------center area----------------average-------

some tests of stuff mag:- auto whitebalance setting, super fine, everything else default, no flash

-------------spot----------------center area----------------average-------

some tests of stuff mag:- indoor whitebalance setting, super fine, everything else default, no flash

-------------spot----------------center area----------------average-------

some tests of stuff mag closeup:-indoor whitebalance setting, super fine, everything else default, no flash

-------------spot----------------center area----------------average-------

if u have the time to change the settings depending on the lighting environment ur in, i.e. using the auto lighting setting gives red tints but with the indoor lighting settings its seems alot better dont u think, BUT its still visable
[HD2 General] Isadora:
ouch, that white spot with the magenta halo thing is really bad. I'm kinda stumped on that one, especially as I can't have a play with it (and have no idea when I'll get mine!) I don't suppose you have an 18% neutral gray card lurking around you could take pictures of lol at least that'd give me a reference point. Sunny or cloudy settings might improve the overall appearance in daylight conditions rather than using the auto wb but it's never going to get rid of that much imbalance, even the left and right sides are different tones. While I'd never expect a picture from phone camera to be great, I'd certainly expect something better than that!
[HD2 General] DAMIEN123_666:
emm what is this "18% neutral gray card"
[HD2 General] Isadora:
It is exactly what it says lol - a bit of card that's "officially" neutral grey - that's what we use to meter off to get the correct white balance in any lighting conditions.

A friend of mine should receive his phone before the end of the week, if he does I'll see if I can do some testing on the camera in daylight with a grey card and will let you know, of course :)
[HD2 General] siamchen:
have you try to adjust white blance? Do not use auto model and choose something else. That may reduce the tint in the central area.
[HD2 General] Isadora:
yep the indoor setting for indoor shots is much better so at least it's doing *something* nearly right lol - auto settings are rarely good anyway but they should manage better than that.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
I personally think this can be fixed with a ROM because if you read the 4winmobile.com review and look at the pictures they took in the main review with a pre release ROM the pink spot is very noticable

Then scroll down to the updated pics taken with a Retail O2 ROM and the spot doesnt seem to be there.

I dont have a HD2 yet, but when I do and if its has the pink spot I will be ringing up, as I suggest anyone else who has it does too
[HD2 General] DAMIEN123_666:
when i say indoor light setting or auto light setting i ment to say " indoor whitebalance setting or auto whitebalance setting"

ive edited post now
[HD2 General] maati:
I've got the English retail HD2 and there is NO tint.

All the pictures I've taken with my HD2 are great so far.
[HD2 General] DAMIEN123_666:
i have the english retail version too, please post ur device info, i.e. rom version and other info on the spec settings page
[HD2 General] maati:
ROM version

1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE

ROM date

10/26/09

Radio version

2.04.50.22_2

Now I looked again and there is a bit of a tint but almost not noticeable, if you don't know about it. Might be an issue with all HDs but frankly, I don't care too much, because it takes great pictures nonetheless.
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
The folks from GSMARENA.COM have posted their full review of the HD2. it seems that they've encountered the same phenomenon as described here - pinkish color cast towards the center of the frame, especially noticeable when viewing the thumbnails.

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_htd2-review-418p9.php
[HD2 General] DAMIEN123_666:
same on my device matey
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Exactly the same here - ROM and results. Several test photos both of plain surfaces (wall/paper/sky) and general photos and there might be the *slightest* tint to one or two if you look at them funny. Certainly there's nothing even remotely like the disaster pics posted here and elsewhere, thankfully.

If it is a ROM issue, it seems this is a solid working ROM.
[HD2 General] sjbale:
Hi all,

I reported this issue to HTC and sent them some sample photos. I received the following reply within several minutes:
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Colour tint issue

The halo of different colours would suggest chromatic abberation, which is hardware(lens) based so no fix possible.
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Chromatic abberation normally shows up as fringing around contrasty edges (so could be anywhere in the picture depending on what you're shooting) not a massive magenta blob consistently in the middle of every single picture!
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
It's not C.A. you can notice this phenomenon with normal DSLR Cameras, which have exposed the sensor for long periods, and some parts of it being heated.

example - http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2560/3670598368_1cc6f5f72e.jpg

Checkout the upper left corner.

whether the sensor is defective, or its mounting process causes this - I expect HTC to handle this problem by replacing the affected units.

esperOS is meant to be a tight, no-frills lite ROM suitable for those using SPB Mobile Shell, or those who just want us much RAM as possible to install your own cabs.

It is also brand-free, there is no 'esperOS' in the startup screens. I want it to look like a stock HTC ROM.

Please refrain from asking for additions, unless you can make a case that it is essential for phone operation :)

As for the stuff that's there, let me know if you find a newer version that can be cooked in -- I tried to keep all the HTC goodies.

This is fixed in the new 28002 I just uploaded. Now when you press and hold the green send key, nothing happens :)

However, if you create a shortcut to an app, rename it Long_Send.lnk (the .lnk will probably be hidden if you are using the default file browser), and put it in /Windows, that app should be activated when you hold down the key.

Hmm, I dunno,, I'll have to do some research.

Problems?

Is anyone getting the "won't return from sleep" or the "sound goes away at random times until phone is soft reset" issues with this build/rom? Seems to be an issue with multiple builds/roms so trying to locate one where the issues have been fixed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] burtcom:
I've seen this reported with 28002 and 28004 builds on the main ROM cooking thread.

This did happen to me the first time I flashed esperOS 28002 (won't wake up from sleep) -- I did a hard reset and it hasn't happened again (knock on wood)

I'm monitoring the main thread, and if anyone reports a cause and supplies a fix I'll be sure to cook it in.

BTW, if anyone wants an older build of 6.5, one known to be more stable, perhaps, which would it be? I can probably cook a version of esperOS using it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Keland44:
this rom is nice i'm using 28002 and i have noticed with this rom and the tpc kasier rom that it does lock sometimes after going to sleep at first I thought it was s2u2 but it's good to know it's not the program i would have been sad maybe if i upgrade to 28004 i won't have to worry about it

the amount of space on the rom is great i can go cab crazy and not have to worry about running out of space for seven or spbms 3.5 noticed battery life isn't to good but i think it might be because I'm using a new radio this time around since i thought that was causing the problem with the won't wake up from sleep issue
