so in my case i can't get activesync to work, but i can manually sync another gmail account and a co.uk email account via imap in outlook.

i am indeed on the 45 dollar plan. (sans "corporate email and full html" browsing.

might the $50 smartphone plan fix activesync?

additionally, would it fix my connectivity errors with skype, palringo and opera mobile?

it features "full html browsing" so am i right to assume the smartphone connection plan bypasses metro's proxy?

Having all the same problems as above poster but also i can send mms but not receive.

Make sure that in your syncing options that tasks is not selected to sync. If tasks is selected it will come back with an error. I have everything unlocked only using the 40 plan

Post links here to any HD2 reviews that you find interesting.

Here's one at Gizmodo: http://gizmodo.com/5400593/htc-touch-hd2-review-a-tragedy The general tone is "HTC made a valiant but ultimately doomed attempt to hide Windows Mobile - why didn't they just use a proper OS?"

And here's a fairly in-depth review at techradar: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-hd2-647049/review - they say they wanted to give the phone four and a half out of five (putting it on a par with the iPhone 3GS and Hero) but couldn't quite bring themselves to do it.

^zoro25, good stuff & that's definately an in depth review!
[HD2 General] Sc4Freak:
It pains me to have to say that I agree with Gizmodo's review in general, from what I've seen.

The HD2 is the best WM phone out there, there's no doubt about it. But it's being utterly crippled by WM6.5. HTC's done a fine job covering up WM's horrendous user interface, but they don't have 100% coverage. Sooner or later, you're going to find an area of the UI that HTC hasn't covered up, and you'll be subjected to the full horror of WM's archaic default interface.

It's pretty clear by now that this phone was originally destined for WM7, but was shoehorned into 6.5 after WM7 was delayed to late next year. It's a shame, because it seems as if WM7 would have been a significantly better fit for what is otherwise a stunning device.
[HD2 General] precsmo:
to whoever gives a good review of iphone against HD2, it is entirely a personal opinion, just like I feel that HD2 is superior to Iphone in so many important aspects. Come on, iphone is more like a gadget to me than a HD2 should be like a workhorse phone, this is my entire opinion of course. I've never been a big fan of Iphone for many reasons, and I'm so glad I'm getting the HD2!
[HD2 General] Teneka_Khan:
Interesting to see that you picked the one negative review out of those available. I have read 4 or more other reviews that are extremely positive in fact mobile-review.net say its the "best of phones". So to say that it is "crippled" by WM 6.5 seems a tad of an over-reaction?

The tone of the review is fairly obvious from the URL ;) but he makes some very valid points, both about the weird dual-personality nature of Sense and WM6.5, and about HTC's quality control (or rather the absence of it).

The Gizmodo "review" is a stupid rant, not a review. Not worth reading. They can't even mention a single reason why they hate Windows Mobile. They just hate it for coming from Microsoft, or coming on a better device than their iPhones or just for the sake of hating it. Whatever.

[G1 Accessories] agentkalaw:
Hi,

I'm using one similar to that but mine's a vent mount and its pretty awesome i think. The reason I got one of these friction beasts is so that i can use it with my gps and phone. Yours seems to be better than the vent mount because it swivels. Mine doesn't swivel. But overall it works and its a very good multi tasker. I usually have it on landscape and don't use the little prongs. The foam pads are good enough to hold both my phone and gps.
[G1 Accessories] gospeed.racer:
I bought a cheap one from Frys for $15, it has a very similar clamping design but uses a flexible gooseneck and a suction mount. It works well, the friction mount part holds the phone well. I am not a huge fan of the gooseneck though. I cant wait to get back home and start modding on it, I think I can make it much better!

You referring to OP or one of the previous posts? I do not want a windowshield mount, I want a dashboard mount.
[G1 Accessories] lleong1:
This type of mount actually blocks the charge port so you can't charge it while in the car. Kinda a deal killer because GPS uses so much power. Phone will be dead when I get to my destination. :(

I ordered one of those that said it had 3 clips instead of the 4 but they sent me one with 4. Then the ebay seller, lovelypriceelement, emailed me back saying that the 3 clips one doesn't exist EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS ON THE PAGE THAT THE USB PORT ISN'T BLOCKED! :mad:

Don't buy this if you want to charge in the car.

[G1 Accessories] jaboswell:
I wish I remember where i got mine. It took me 3 different ones before i found one i liked, bought them retail....just kept returning them until the 4th was the best (around $25). It has 2 clips that clip onto the vent, and a support arm between the clips that rests again the vent, doesnt move at all and the charge port is completely accessible.
[G1 Accessories] lleong1:
If you could find out where you got that one, that would be great. Looking for a more elegant solution to mount my G1 in my car.
[G1 Accessories] jasonsplace:
I've seen the vent mount one at Staples but I don't know if it would work in my car. How long are the arms that clip onto the vent. I have a Mazda 6 and my vents are like the one in the middle of this picture:

For those who have used the vent clip mount, do you think that it would mount to the vents just above the radio in that picture? When open they have a curved front and they are a bit deeper than the average vent.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.aalai:
Hi all, have 2 questions re using Hero with media:

1- Still haven found an easy way or prog to make a playlist on the pc, and have it exported (inc the mdeia files of course) to the hero in one step. Hero doesnt show up on songbird, Windows MP syncs the files, but have to manually save and move the playlist to the phone. Am i doing something wrong? Just want an easy ipod like solution, so i can take what i need with me everyday.

2- Any way to play the media files i have on my pc on the hero over wifi when i am at home? Ie just browse my netowrk shares and play what i want, as i would from another pc? Tried some of the dlna options, but it needed to cache the whole file onto the hero before it would play which is kinda defeating the objective!

Thanks in advance!

Olá, Pessoal.

Estou com um problema no HTC, quando ligo, fica parado na tela inicial da Operadora (TIM), com as informações abaixo da logo em vermelho:

M 04 _______ R 1.58.21.26

B 04 _______ G 25.65.30.04H

_____________D 1.35

E fica parado aí.

A pessoa que me vendeu ele, realizou um "hard reset" e ele ficou assim.

quando aperto "power" + "câmera" + "botãozinho com a canetinha", aparece uma tela com as cores: Vermelho, Verde, Azul, Branco (Com a informação "SERIAL") no branco

e no vermelho as seguintes informações:

NIKI100

SPL-1.21.0000

CPLD-4

Se conecto o USB, ele muda a informação "Serial" para "USB" é só assim consigo comunicação entre o celular e o computador.

Operadora TIM idioma PTB.

Como posso rever este aparelho funcionando?

Desde já, muito obrigado.

[HD2 General] zoro25:
I had asked about this in a previous thread.

but the consensus was that what we were seeing was most likely a screen protector.

Well it really is a visiible matrix built into the screen.

Its a pity that HTC didn't get this right as on such a large device the screen being decent is one of the main selling points.

and

and from the mobile review site (lengthy review about the HD2)

Of course, the phone is not without its minuses. Normally touch screen phones if they do have a grid have an invisible one, the iPhone, for example, it hardly can be seen, however, HD2 grid is visible to the naked eye, especially if you should disable the screen as you can see the grid, sometimes it can be seen even when the screen turned on with content in the background. I can not say that it is totally a critical thing, but the fact remains that it is unpleasant.
[HD2 General] mike91t:
Yes it has a very slight matrix but the pictures make it look worse than it really is.

I just received my WWE version HD2 and I must say it is an AWESOME device!!!!
[HD2 General] galaxys:
^A slight matrix won't bother me either....who did u order u'rs from?
[HD2 General] precsmo:
it has already been repeating complaints about this. I feel one thing funny is that those of you who are concerning about the visible dots, are you guys having in you own mind keep fighting with the fact that HTC is a capacitive screen and it should not have dots like iphone which doesn't, and you guys just don't feel it is proper to see a capacitive screen with dots just because iphone manage to have their very first capacitive screen without visible dots! The funny thing is, just before the existence of HD2, any of the HTC phones have the same bloody dots on them, Touch HD has the same old dots, but I've just never been bother to realize the existence of the dots, because even though they are visible in naked eyes like HD2, but not intrusive at all, in fact, no one will actually realize or affected by the dots in normal day by day usage, unless we really hold the phone at an angle with good lightings that just good enough to shine the dots out, but why should we bother to do that??????

My question is, are you one of the very first owner of HD2? Have you already got a HD2 in hand? The photos that you guys been trying to show and complained in the post are the same old photos with the HD2 taken in an angle with kinda intense lighting, maybe not really strong lighting but just right amount to emphasize the existence of the dots in the screen. And it is the photographs and the exposure of the photos that make the dots much more visible than it should in real world basis.

If you have already got the HD2 and really can't accept the fact that dots can be visible in naked eyes (but I doubt I will bother to look hard to find the dots), then I strongly believe to those who think that the dots should not be in HD2, then these group of people should not even get any of the touch screen devices as most of the devices have dots easily detected with naked eyes. What is a big deal really? I have yet found a good reviewers so far to really comment about the dots at all.:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[HD2 General] zoro25:
I have a Touch HD and there are no dots on the screen.

I've also checked on line and I can't find one pic of a HD with matrix dots on the screen.

only HD2 comes back in any searches.

I like HTC and love this community but I'm no fan boy and can therefore state that the screen on the HD2 is flawed.

Just a sad fact.

but I guess as already stated in other threads all mobiles have their minus points and this is just another one of those minuses that affect the HD2.

I wasn't mentioning it to moan.

I was mentioning it to clear up the fact that it was not a screen protector as previously mentioned it really is visible on the screen.

People should know what to expect from the device. The more information potential buys have about a device the better.
[HD2 General] mike91t:
I got mine from smart mobile gadgets. http://www.smggsm.com/ He had a few listed on ebay but I think they are gone.
[HD2 General] tibursio:
how is the screen flawed? If it needs these dots to operate then so be it, just because they're using different tech than, let's say, the iphone it's not flawed...

they're not visibile when the screen is on, right? so that aint no big deal for me.
[HD2 General] zoro25:
According to reviews the are sometimes visible when the phone is on.

I'll still be moving up from HD to HD2 so it won't bother me too much.

I was just posting for clarity.
[HD2 General] Biffy:
I got my HD2 this morning and have been using it all day. There is no dots problem.

I will repeat that again: There is no dots problem.

By this I mean, I have been using the device as one normally would and have seen no dots. I did have one close look to try and spot them but couldn't.

So any worrying about this is nit-picking about a problem you're very unlikely to ever notice in everyday use.
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:
HTC Touch HD has the exact same dots too...100%. I know mine Touch HD has them:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] wildgoose1uk:
Agreed....
[HD2 General] rickgillyon:
Been using this device for hours now, you can't see the dots. You have to turn it off and hold it an angle to a strong light to see them at all, and even then it's bloody faint. Not an issue.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've tried really, REALLY hard, and no amount of light on the screen, or angling, or different backlights (or with it off even), or anything makes any dots visible on my screen. Is there something wrong with my HD2?

Just kidding. Of course there's not, but I can't see any dots at all, ever.

Obviously a production issue that varies from device to device. Pretty crap really.
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
OK, just got it. Before first run, under strong light and good angel, the matrix is indeed visible. However, now the screen got a bit dirty after few touches and I am not able to spot these dots anymore, even if it's off. This problem does not exist.
[HD2 General] pietrucci:
All that negative whining (do you people even own a HD2 already?)...

I'm looking very hard for dots on my HD2. I give up, no dots.
[HD2 General] Ciddy:
Dont trust pics online unless you know the exact circumstances these were taken under. I only noticed the dots by chance when I was looking at the HD2 from an odd angle with light coming flat from the side. They are invisible in a normal daylight setting, not nearly as visible as the Touch HD's matrix. Even in the reference pictures, you can never see all of them on the whole screen, showing how very narrow the visible angle really is.

Complain once the device is in your hands. But I doubt anyone will. ;)
[HD2 General] sharpey:
my god you can just about see them if you try... some people need to get a life if this is all they can moan about
[HD2 General] mkent_barbados:
Well, I can't see any dots on my at all, under any light. So definately not an issue for me.
[HD2 General] lucid:
Lot's of BS :)

Seen couple of HD2's now. Either on or off, the pixels photographed are

extremely hard to see.

The HD2 when turned on is a beauty, backlight and contrast are superb, and when off its a magnificent looking black mirror. Even up close.

/paranoia mode

There seems to be a sudden influx of strange postings from pretty new users

who post pointless remarks, about 2 of them in other forums, then post here.

@ Mods and Ops, some counterintelligence and research into the origins of this stuff would be nice.
[HD2 General] Oaquasis:
Problem does not exist...

Got mine yesterday and i never noticed a matrix.

After reading this thread i tried to spot the matrix on my screen. I can only see it when the backlight is off and i focus reall hard.

When its on, i really cant see it...

So, as previously stated. Problem does not Exist.
[HD2 General] bigsro:
Of all the numerous video previews/reviews I have seen - not one has mentioned this. It might be the same as getting a dead pixel on a display...just bad luck!
[HD2 General] Biffy:
I was one of the people on this thread that said it wasn't a problem.

However today I noticed the dots for the first time while just using my HD2. I was using Pocket putty which has a plain black screen for most of the device. The dots were quite clear then and were more visible depending on how the screen was angled to the light. They aren't noticeable enough to interfere with using the screen though.

It doesn't really bother me and there are certainly more annoying things about the phone than the dots.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
i can see a grid of dots and also a diamond pattern of solid lines.

however - its all totally invisible once the screen is powered on, and even when its off you have to get the angle and lighting just right to spot them

incidentally the my iPhone has a similar grid, but the pitch is much finer, about 2mm spacing instead of the 4mm spacing on the HD2.
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
I'd rather search for dead/stuck pixels instead of a stabilizing-grid, which is there for a reason.

Just like the diamondtron/trinitron tubes from some old CRT monitors, which had two horizontal visible lines across the screen, especially visible under bright backgrounds.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
off topic, but i used to love tapping them on the size and watching the mask wobble :)

andive just noticed that in the very very first picture in this thread, you cant see the grid of dots, what you can see is the diamond shaped lines, with bright points where they intersect
[HD2 General] btyeh:
