LMAO. Got the same email before I could cancel.

So I've went from being told it will be sent out on the 11th, then the 12th (I'll give them the benefit of the doubt of a shipment delay), then when stock came in, 48 hours from the 12th, when the website also said 48 hours, then the website changed to available for immediate dispatch on the 13th, and on contacting them they said it wouldn't go out until the 16th, meanwhile the order tracker says from start to finish "pending stock".

Then out of nowhere comes a failure of an email showing their broken mailer...

What a disaster of a company!! If it wasn't so funny, I'd cry.
[HD2 General] adamjackdrew:
I had the same email at 5:57 this morning although my order status has jumped from Pending Stock to Complete. I, too, was thinking that their system had gone a bit weird. I was hoping (in vain) that the mail had been delivered late and I would be getting mine today. Doesn't look like it now, though.

I've dropped them 2 emails and have got nowhere, so I will try calling shortly to see what the situation is.

Royal mail can and sometimes do deliver Special Delivery items on a Saturday. I know they do the Guaranteed Saturday delivery thing, but that's only to guarantee it. 9 times out of 10, when I've had a Special Delivery delivered on a Saturday it's been a normal one.

My first time shopping with them and didn't know what to expect. Hey ho, you live and learn!

<edit> Called them and spoke with Matt. Says that "...the email you received this morning was automated because your item was ready for dispatch. If Royal Mail deliver in your area tomorrow then you should get it tomorrow...". Seemed very abrupt and the call centre sounded very busy. I wonder how many times he has had to answer that question today!! <edit>
[HD2 General] mikejasonsmith:
well i pre-ordered mine on sunday and have recieved no dispatch email yet. I dont want to ring them as I reckon I will just lose the plot....thats if they answer!
[HD2 General] nas09:
i ordered mine on monday.

It says pending. I think ill just have to play the waiting game.. oh well
[HD2 General] owz206:
I had mine delivered today around lunchtime.
[HD2 General] ssppeeddyy2:
glad to hear that. My will be coming tomorrow then......
[HD2 General] rovex:
I got through to them today. It seems they have just been overwhelmed by volume. They said this is the most popular windows phone they've ever had and maybe the most popular phone ever. They just got caught out by volume.

I think this is fair enough, it happens to everyone from time to time and their deals are the cheapest ive seen.
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Thats all very well and good, but why keep telling customers 24 / 48 hours when they must know they have so many orders it probably wont be that!

New orders should be delivered next working day? If they can't meet the current pre-orders surely they shouldn't be promoting new ones so fast?

Had my experience with them now and can't see me ever going back.
[HD2 General] rovex:
I think people really need to get a grip, its a day or two late and your likely saving £100 or more over the contract term by using them. Im the most impatient person in the world but even i understand a delay sometimes. Besides with the royal mail in the state its in right now i wouldnt expect it next day anyway, they are a sham at the best of times.
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
I started another thread without realising this one was here :o

I pre-ordered with MPD on 6th Nov

I got my email at 18:51 13/11/09 saying:

and my status on the website changed from 'Pending' to 'Complete'.

I got the 18month contract with TMob, £25pm and £132 for handset.

I don't know if you've all noticed or not, but they've actually put the price of the handsets down by about £25 today. :mad: They also say they are now including a 2GB SD card too. So for example, the contract I got would still be £25pm but the handset would only cost £108 Grrrrrrrr :(

Now I've spoken to someone who did receive their HD2 from MPD today and they got a 2GB SD card and a leather case with theirs so I assume that's actually something HTC are putting in the box and now MPD are claiming they're giving as free.

So if you bought it today,You'd probably still get it on Monday (like all us chumps who bothered to pre-ordered) but you'd be paying quite a bit less :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] dbryan:
Pre-ordered 27th October on TMobile, order tracker still says 'Stock Pending' and to make things worse the deal is now £24 cheaper than my pre-order!!
[HD2 General] mikejasonsmith:
Same here.

I wasnt expecting anything but just go home to an email telling me my phone has been dispatched - do you think I may get it tomorrow????

I ordered a 16gb sd card with it so im not too bothered about the 2gb card...

I have to be honest - I put my name down for a palm pre when they were fist released, then cancelled at last minute when i found out about this phone....the palm pre did not generate this amount of excitement, frustration or sheer anticipation like the hd2 has....fingers, legs, arms crossed that it may arrive tomorrow....
[HD2 General] dbryan:
unfortunately i think those of us who havent had an email confirming despatch are now looking at Tuesday at the earliest!

I have sent a rather strong email but dont expect to get a reply!!
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
The issue isn't (with me at least, can't speak for anyone else) that there's a delay. That would be fine *as long as it was communicated*.

When you go to a site and they say they have stock now and you order today to get it tomorrow, it pretty well pisses you off that your pre-order from weeks ago is still sitting there saying "pending stock". To then get fobbed off by customer "support" with a pissy attitude and ignoring the many problems just makes it worse.

This isn't 1956, basic communication like this is so easy any 10 year old with a copy of Visual Basic could knock up a system to keep customers informed and stock and order details accurate and timely.

Of course, looking at the pathetic broken email they sent out it's apparent that their webdev team didn't even manage to hire the aforementioned ten year old.

If you can't deliver, don't make the promise in the first place. Anything else just reeks of bait and switch, deliberately decieving customers for monetary gain.
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Well said, couldn't have said it better.

Regardless of the price savings, its false advertising!
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Apparently if you get an email over the weekend, expect delivery monday, if you get one monday, expect delivery tuesday. Or thats what the CSR told me on the phone earlier.

Bit strange though!!?
[HD2 General] Philhellene:
10.04pm and I get the Your has been despatched message.

Worse case is that it has been packed up ready but will not go till tomorrow so Monday earliest delivery.

Best case would be they got it off this afternoon but didn't stop to update the computer system till now.

Either way I have to say it's my own impatience as MPD said might be Monday in their email on Thursday. The price is good, Expansys charge £129 for the phone on the T-Mobile Combi 30 & Web whereas MPD have it as free.
[HD2 General] ssppeeddyy2:
I just had delivered my phone.........weeeeeeeeeeeeey.....
[HD2 General] rovex:
Post has been and gone, no HD2. Bit gutted really i was hoping to have a play over the weekend. I blame the post office just as much as MPD.
[HD2 General] ssppeeddyy2:
sure about hte post???? my wasn't delivered by my normal postman. It came in royal mail van. Unless van is gone as well you still have a good chance receiving it today
[HD2 General] rovex:
Its usually the same guy for me, but im not going anywhere for a few hours so ill keep positive..
[HD2 General] mikkybukky82:
Mine too has been dispatched.i ordered mine with Tmobile on 11th of Nov.hopefully i will get it on Monday.
[HD2 General] DeeTee73:
Received mine at 09:30 ish and it has to be said - it's fantastic.

I hadn't pushed them for a delivery date and to be honest expected Monday, received the e-mail yesterday saying it was dispatched and still thought it wouldn't arrive until Monday.

The postman nearly lost his arm and his pda this morning .....

So far the impressive bit has been synching my contacts from windows live - I had a HD and before that a Diamond, they used to get rebuilt multiple times weekly (due to me constantly recooking ROM's) and my 620 contacts used to take 15 mins+ to sync either by WLAN or HSDPA - The Leo managed the full sync in under 3 mins .... impressive.
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
delay teactic?

I got an email when I bouhgt the phone telling me it would be dispatched friday and arrive moonday. I called them to confirm this just in case as I was closing down my original contract on that day. ]

Well, that didnt happen as I have just found an email advising my order is awiting a pac code, at no point in the sale did it mention keeping my number and no option was chosen. Could this be a delay tactic by direct to unfullfill some of their orders they have no stock for?
[HD2 General] mikejasonsmith:
How have they been sent out - courier or royal mail???
[HD2 General] Isadora:
I've ordered one from them a few hours ago and there was box to enter my pac in the checkout process (once I'd selected the "I want to keep my number and transfer it" or words to that effect) option
[HD2 General] mikejasonsmith:
does anyone know if they sent them out via courier or royal mail?
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Their website says RoyalMail
[HD2 General] DeeTee73:
Mine arrived Royal Mail - I also ported and had received a mail, the day after ordering, requesting a PAC Code which all I had to do was respond with the PAC.

They called me on Friday morning saying there was an issue with the PAC which turned out to be nothing and they dispatched Friday - I received the phone (and new SIM) this morning and have a port date of Monday.

The phone is all I expected it to be - very fast and all working so far - I had been running a mostly LEO rom on my HD so had the majority of the functionality just not the speed.
[HD2 General] Hampshire PDA:
I purchased my HD2 SIM free from their store in Southampton on Friday morning, 13th. It came with a 2Gb card and leather-like case in the box. To my knowledge they had several more in stock. So far it is working fine - sync'd with Outlook on my work Windows XP PC, set up email sync with work internet, receiving SMS OK. Early days but it is very quick, though I am finding it slow to get used to typing on it. The capacitive screen takes some getting used to. I hope everyone gets theirs very soon - there's nothing worse than the waiting.
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
are the phones from mobilephonesdirect.com unlocked. Could you guys try another sim in your hd2s??
[HD2 General] owz206:
They come unlocked mate, I've treid a Vodafone,Tmobile and Orange sim in it.
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
Cheers bud. Just ordered mine. I'm hoping it will be with me tuesday
[HD2 General] Philhellene:
Well, my 10.04pm despatch text last Friday night means the phone was Posted today and I get it tomorrow according to the nice lady on the phone at MPD today. Shame I convinced myself it would be today and had some time off to spend with it - still a phone tomorrow is still good, rather than not.
[HD2 General] rovex:
Did they explain why the email was sent when the phone wasnt?
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
Same here. Email Friday but no phone today :(

Tomorrow. I don't know why but I just got a real downer about this phone. I might send it back and get a Hero instead. I just got Marketplace on my other WinMo6.5 phone and it's pretty appalling.

Maybe I'll feel better about it when I get it in my sweaty little paws :confused:

:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] rovex:
Dont bother with the hero, the screen is just too small for typing in my opinion. Its also got a MSM72XX chipset, and you can tell..
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
When I asked them the answer was

*click*

*dial tone*

Friendly chaps, always ready to help the customer!

I'm tempted to send the darn thing back and buy elsewhere (assuming it ever turns up) just toget the satisfaction of knowing it'll cost these cowboys money.
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
Yeah when I rang them, i got engaged about 5 times then got thru, phone rang for 30 rings someone picked up and hung up. But as it was I who rung them, the line stayed open. They kept picking up and dialling. A few times they would just listen till i said 'Hello?' and then they would hang up. I could hear them talking in the back ground. Sounded like a right fatty boom-batty, with her cackling hen laugh.

If you want to talk to a decent person, call their Reading Nokia branch and speak to Robin. He got things sorted to me, he can speak directly to the web team.
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
double post...............
[HD2 General] Nemeth782:

Thanks!

There are a number of ways to do this, but I prefer SKTools, since it allows me to disable/enable them as I see fit. You can also go into the Windows/Startup folder and add/delete as you see fit.

I hajve been helping my mom with the MT3G. I keep up with her on Latitude, and half of the time, it reports her position as Espoo, Finland.

[Touch HD General] Terrorhuhn:
Interesting for Chefs!!

Have you ever noticed that the Album version of the new Roms is very laggy in sliding between the pictures when you turn your phone in landscape mode?

I found 5 min ago a solution when playing with the registry, in which the Album slides smooth in Landscape AND

you can use the picture overview in Landscape.

In

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCAlbum]

Edit the "rotate" entry to "0"

[Touch HD General] darkness-star:
dude you are absolutely brilliant tnx alot

+1 for the music tab hehe:)
[Touch HD General] crashDebug:
i think it's useful for chef as it can easily be included in rom instead making us fiddle with the registry
[Touch HD General] ASK768:
what exactly does this improve? is it sliding between pictures when viewing full screen landscape or when the device is rotated on the photos tab?

if its the first, then it can also be accomplished by removing the entries in the Gsensor whitelist - thats how ive been doing it.
[Touch HD General] HorstDCC:
Great find.

Not only does it improve the landscape viewing, but it avoids/solves a bug in the recent HTC albums where you could confuse the sliding sequence when changing the physical position of the HD while continuing to slide.
[Touch HD General] mantrajt:
I don´t see any improvement....maybe someone can upload a video?

I really like this feature to work...!!!

Thks.
[Touch HD General] younxta:
Too bad it doestn't work for me. In portrait mode, the pictures slide very smooth. In landscape mode it's still choppy and slow, even with this change in the register and a softreset. I think it has something to do with the g-sensor. Is it possible to totally disable the g-sensor or at least when turning the phone in album..?

I've tried about 6 different roms and they all have this problem, i hope someone can fix this.
[Touch HD General] Terrorhuhn:
It's first

But the difference is, that the picture view (this where all pictures are listed in a grid) could be used in landscape mode furthermore.

With the removing of the whitelist this would be impossible!
[Touch HD General] Terrorhuhn:
No problem :-)

The only thing I wish is that there are no more laggy HTCAlbums in new Roms *ggg*

Which version of HTCAlbum do you have? You see the version also in the Registry path were the tweak has to be added.

I tried it with Dutty Holy Grail R0 2.1 And the Album version is 3.0

And I don't have to make a soft reset... wierd...
[Touch HD General] Jsoca:
Great discovery can you do that for the calculator and htc music
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
MOD EDIT

Moved to General discussion forum
[Touch HD General] noris08:
i have noticed that roms with os 6.5.1 has a very fast rotation and fast scrolling in landscape mode both for pictures and music (i just check on chinehe v.2.3)

and the rotation registry value is still "1"

so, maybe the solution for slow rotation and scrolling can be found starting from here + terrorhuhn discovery

a smart guy could find it and share for us:D
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
To speed up scrolling through pics in landscape go to HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCScroll and change "velocity_factor". It's set at 10000 and I've changed it to 20000. You might want to set it to 40000 just to see the increase in speed and then back it down from there. This setting will also increase scrolling speed in, among other things, the favorites tab, internet tab, and increase scrolling through albums in the music tab while in landscape. This tweak may very well be the one in HD Tweak, I'm not sure, but whatever the case, you can set it how you like.
[Touch HD General] giniman:
This seems to make the cover flow in music tab in lanscape mode a lot faster...

Thx for that tip :D

greetz giniman
[Touch HD General] Laurentius26:
Thank you, another nice tweak. :)

Grtz Leo :)

And you also, haha awsom finds. ;)
[Touch HD General] Terrorhuhn:
Yeah...

with scrolling speed I meant in my tweak the smoothnes of scrolling. I think I misspeaked.

But therefor Sean3 has found a cool one :-)

Hello,

I'm trying to get some xvid movie RIPs that I have on my computer to play on my laptop but so far I'm having no joy. I downloaded and installed CorePlayer 1.36 but the movies aren't playing right, they go green and it doesn't go full screen.

Do I need to change any settings to make it work properly?

The movies are generally 720x452(ish) and video is xvid 1600kbps with audio mp3 128kpbs.

Any help would be appreciated.

David
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
I hear they should play in HTC media player (not WMP).
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
HTC Player won't play xvid, unfortunately.

Re CorePlayer, go to Menu - Tools - Preferences - Select Page - Video and try to play with the Video output setting.
[HD2 General] JohnQ:
right now core player has problems of playing movies on HD2. also green here .

use WMP/HTC ALBUM is ok.

I am a new pure user and I am looking to "customize" the phone...

I am completely new to this and I don't even know where to start...

Help?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] WMguy:
I'd use the phone for a few days and figure out exactly what you like and don't like about it and then post what you want to change. Customize is a pretty general term but we'll be able to help you if you have specific wants.

BTW, is Dillybar a Dairy Queen treat?

lol - my last name is Dillard... so my friend who LOVES dairy queen nicknamed me dilly bar :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Bro,

Start first by searching and reading.

There are so many possiblities but it is important that you know what you are doing first.

Read "Flashing for newbies", then read through a few cooked ROM threads and see what the bugs are and what is offered in the ROM.

Mostly, a cooked ROM will be ready with everything you need other than personal tastes.

Also, almost any question you may have has already been asked and answered so search and read.....
