after installing ActiveSync, i did nothing... i was able to connect using my usb cable and PC's ActiveSync.

check your connection settings in ActiveSync, it should be Automatic or try the other two (work network, the internet) if you still can't share your computers internet connection.

By Win7 I'm assuming you mean Windows 7 for the PC not the upcoming WinMo 7?

Anyway - working on that assumption I can only assume it's a problem at your end since I'm running Win7 Home Premium 64bit and my phone is flashing just fine.

You could always use the MicroSD method (please search for howto) and avoid using your PC at all.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
your only flashing hard-spl, so that means that your rom won't change!

you can now flash a custom rom to change your rom!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] haroonazeem638:
hahahah..lol

im laughing because your reason is probably correct, but it's so funny people don't read or even think it through!

Can't imagine myself flashing just the hard-spl over and over again :P

nice answer :P
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] stewieG:
lol just laugh i would too maybe. but the reason that im wondering is that the pogram says that my new rom will be xxxnewxxx but after i run the pogram it says the same.

1 time: your phone have xxxoldxxx rom

your phone will get xxxnewxxx rom

2 time your phone have xxxoldxxx rom

your phone will get xxxnewxxx rom

the secound time i use the pogram i though the pogram would say something like

your phone have xxxnewxxx rom

your phone will get xxxnewxxx rom

when i update my phone with se it says

your phone have xxxoldxxx update

your phone will get xxxnewxxx update

but if i have the new update the pogram says

your phone already has the xxxnewxxx update continue ?

dont you see what i meen?

i have really been reading my head of since i dont have done anything like this before. so i just ask here as a last chance.

When we set up the active sync on windows vista, the programm creates a shortcut to a folder named "My dox on HTC2". This folder on the phone is resident in the main memory. And this is not good :mad::mad::mad:

I'd like to have all my 2GB files (excel, word, Acrobat, power point) and my 7GB Musics and movies to automatically sync in the 16 GB SD Card bought for this simple reason. :(:(:(

How to setup the programm to move and sync the files in the SD including all the messages, notes, contacts and bla bla bla.

I don't know why but with my old Nokia E71 I needed to check a box to sync the files in the sd card.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
If it's a persistant problem it could be with the skin data.. Try deleting the default skin from /prettyweather-googlecode-com on your sdcard.. That should force it to re-download.

Hello,

My phone info is as follows:

Model Number : HTC Hero

Firmware Version: 1.5

Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

Kernel Version: 2.6.27-8dd6deee htc-kernel@and18-2)

Build Number: 2.73.728.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys

Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288

Its one of those East Asian version of the phone. I am not sure if I wanna update my phone to Modaco or the WWE Rom. Any ideas??

Also, if you could point me in the direction of how to go about with either one of those, that would be great.

Please any help in this matter will really be appreciated.

Thank You.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Lucan:
I think you are uptodate. You cant choose though.

To put Modaco Designer (I mean Rom:)) you have to perform certain ritual called "Root Way", as his roms are not RUU.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir25:
Thanks for ur reply Lucan. I dont know if I am up to date or not as yet, cuz for some reason I do not have market on my phone and I surely need to have that to get apps. I dont mind if I have to root my phone, just want to get a good custom rom that doesnt have much problems and has the access to market. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Lucan:
You mean no Market as apk? In that case I would first consult your network provider for their explnation if the said one also supplied your handset.

Or take a journey to Rootway.

[HD2 General] Catman3146:
As stated in the thread title, I am seriously considering returning my HTC Touch HD2, because I find it almost completely unusable compared to the iphone that I owned previously.

Pros

- Amazing screen

- Everything else that has been highlighted in all the positive reviews that persuaded me to buy the device in the first place (spec, camera, connectivity etc.)

Cons:

- Touchscreen keyboard is unusable and not accurate, even after calibaration (compared to an iphone)

- Web browsing using Opera is frustrating due to the unreliable touchscreen - I find it impossible to click on links; particularly on sites such as this one (with small page numbers etc.) - even when I zoom right in I still can't click the link - there is a huge delay before anything happens, without any feedback to show the link has been clicked - this stuff just worked on the iphone, depsite the smaller screen

- Random app switching, erratic behaviour (screen moving on its own) and regular freezes in all modes/apps

For those who think I am some kind of Apple fan-boy, that couldn't be further from the truth - my iphone developed a dead strip of icons, which forced me to sell it for peanuts, so I vowed to never buy another! The truth of the matter is that the UI of the HD2 just isn't in the same league as the iphone - it's just a cheap imitation.

Maybe if it had Android instead of WM it would stand a chance, but as things currently stand, I find the HD2 completely unusable and will probably be returning it on Monday and getting an iphone, assuming I can persuade Mobile Phones Direct to adhere to the distance selling regulations that provide a 7 day cooling off period (according to their T&C's this only stands if the box is unopened, which is wrong)

Please note that I am posting this for the benefit of others, to provide my personal feedback after using the phone for the last few days. If anyone has any suggestions for how to rectify the problems noted above, I will happily try them.

I feel your pain...

Hi,

I know how you feel - I've only had it a day and i'm already getting that dreaded feeling! On the plus side I'm delighted to be away from that Stalin 'Jobsie' and his locked down iPhones - on the down side this HD2 is about as user friendly as the space shuttle compared to the jesus phone, and I sued to be so impressed with the iPaq from 6 years ago!!

I do think that I can live with it - just it's not going to be the long winded love affair type relationship - more the 'throwing at the wall' one minute, loving it the next!

Luckily, mines through o2 so i'm going to run with it for 10 days and see how we get along - if all else fails then there's always the 3GS to fall back onto. Although I wasn't for Android on this handset to begin with - from where i'm sitting now it does make more sense!

Good luck figuring it all out! :)
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
Look here :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583638

For some handy tweaks including, haptic feedback in Opera and the abiltiy to click links without zooming in!!!

But I do feel your pain, a little let down with the OS on this phone, everything else is excellent..... build quality, screen, asthetics, CPU, RAM, etc.. Just the OS is a pile of poo! lol :)
[HD2 General] NetDwarf:
Thanks a lot. You just proof yourself wrong ^^. Whether its better or worse is another question, but imitation? You mean the shortcuts on home screen? You're just *****in'. Pls close this thread we dont need that destructive posts.

Advice: Sell the HD2 and dont complain. I can click even the small ugly boxes in Windows Mobile itself. I dont know how long you've tried to click somethin', but if you really feel that it is impossible for you go back to resistive screen, on the Touch HD it wasnt that bad IMO.
[HD2 General] chronicle:
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion...even one sided twerps like you.
[HD2 General] babybungbu:
It's kinda strange for me to read your feedback, I had chance to play with the test version of the HD2 and things worked pretty well, most of your "cons" I could not find on my preliminary experience!?
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
(hollow laugh)

Good luck with that.
[HD2 General] niknik76:
I hear you man. I have the same considerations..

I don't have freezes or random app switching though. and I don't really care about the UI since I use spb mobile shell which runs excellent and so god damn fast on this thing.

but the screen is a problem when browsing. it's not accurate enough for my taste. and using the keyboard is also more cumbersome than on my Topaz...

it really is a beautiful and fast device. sometimes it feels like using a computer more than a phone and that's pretty cool too.

I'm still thinking...
[HD2 General] tzangPro:
Your poor experience seems to be the result of a faulty handset. For the first 4 days of receiving my HD2, the phone's touchscreen kept making its own decisions, even when left idling on the desk. The touchscreen registered wrong inputs and I had the same impressions of the phone as you have now. It was the final straw when the phone just kept registering the 2 option in Phone mode and refused to stop until I hit the soft reset button.

I took it down to the shop I bought the phone from, had it exchanged after explaining the situation (it did take a threat of wanting a full refund when they initially refused to classify the phone as faulty) and the replaced new handset is a complete different phone to the first one I had, the touchscreen does what suppose to do!

Before throwing all hopes away on the HD2, trying getting it replaced first. It is a genuinely good product, it's a shame that quality control has let some of us down.

Your experience with Opera should be resolved by Karlos G's link.

[EDIT] My phone was also purchased from Mobile Phones Direct. They are rather poor when it comes to refund and exchanges, trying to make up excuses as to why you cannot refund or exchange the phone (lies, lies and more lies... just don't go with the flow). State your case and don't let them push you around.
[HD2 General] d3l1:
I guess your are one of the unlucky people to get a "monday"-device. mine has none of the problems you have. my screen is accurate, opera is sometimes picky when you don't zoom in, and I have never experienced any erratic behaviour. the only problem I can recall is the camera issue (pink teint).

I applied Karlo G's link but I still have problems clicking links when zoomed out. maybe I have to get more accurate :) I'm still getting used to a capacitive screen.
[HD2 General] shu8i:
I think NetDwarf has a point... an imitation? Hello? on the iphone you've got hundrets of icons and THAT'S IT!... but this beautiful Sense UI. an Imitation? omg
[HD2 General] Timossss:
for me the HD2 is the best. I agreed with the keyboard but i found a solution.

Install Touch Pal and a cab in order to reduce the sensentive leval of the screen (the cab you can download on this forum). Now i can write even better as on the pro 2 - its really great. Forget I-Phone now.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I always find, the best thing to do with a new phone, is try some tweaks etc and then if it doesn't work out, return it. The tweaks usually fix most of the issues that people have. Without this site I would have really regretted getting my X1 for example. But XDA made it amazing.

I love the HD2, and the only problem I have had so far is getting used to the capacitive screen. Any of the other things (like task manager) have been fixed using tweaks from here.

We are so lucky to have all the amazing guys here on XDA developing and discovering all these tweaks for us, and keeping them all in one place.

I suggest you try some of these (they should fix most of your issues).

I would agree, the keyboard can be crazy. But I think it is a case of getting used to it. Every phone is going to be different. That's the nature of the world we live in.

Even then, I think the cons you have mentioned (most of which are fixable).

I hope you do try those tweaks and that they work for you.
[HD2 General] Catman3146:
Thanks for all your helpful suggestions and comments. I think it is important for people to get a balanced view about the device (particularly compared to the iphone), after reading so many unilaterlly positive reviews that fail to mention many of the flaws I have highlighted.

I will try the tweaks suggested and see how I get over the next couple of days before making a final decision (I'll post an update here), but HTC really should have done a better job with the initial release (the iphone had none of these problems - I bought one of the very first handsets in the US way before it was released here in the UK).

I am still hopeful that the issues are primarily software-related rather than dodgy hardware, but I will try to get a replacement out of MPD to try if this proves to not be the case.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I think you will find Catman, that most of the issues are related to the way the ROM is setup.

I think the tweaks should fix some of them. Have a read through the tips and tweaks list, and see what you can find. Some of them should help. Also, the CABs from smaberg here should also help.
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
If you sell it, contact me asap !

I am ok to buy :D !
[HD2 General] IrishDavid:
For anyone struggling with the keyboard, go to the hints and tips thread and install the referenced CAB to reduce screen sensitivity. My keyboard was basically unusable but installed it and it works about the same as the iPhone maybe slightly better because errors are still corrected with the dictionary a lot better...
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Wow if you think the iPhone had no problems at launch, you really are living in backwards land.

BTW, I don't think any HD2s have exploded yet either. I'm not sure if you think incendiary injuries are a positive or negative feature? To be "balanced" we should agree that it is both.
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
Wow, I find the keyboard excellent, I wonder whether its a ROM-version thing...

If typing an sms is bad for you I seriously recommend you install the cab to reduce screen sensitivity from the hints and tips thread. It is a lifesaver believe me.
[HD2 General] simplymee:
I had a HTC HD2 but then returned it to devicewire under the DSRs because of all the bugs and issues I was having which made the phone unusable. Since then I have got an iphone 3GS and I love it.

The only thing I don't like is the fact that virtually everyone has one, but then again, that's probably because... well... it just works.
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
Nah, it's more because the iPhone is intellectually undemanding for those that want quick fix, instant gratification. Nothing fundamentally wrong with that but very typical of our superficial, throwaway society. The requirement for several iterations of the tech and the O/S before it worked to an acceptable basic standard (copy & paste, MMS, video, etc), allied to the necessity for an apps store (largely packed with worthless novelties) to supplement a limted set of functionality and controls tells its own tale. The iPhone is like a visit to Blackpool - lots of glitter, bling and flash but almost no substance. You leave feeling cheap and slightly grubby.

All that said and because of its simplicity, I recommended the iPhone to my wife (she's not hugely interested in gadgets and tech fiddling) and she went out and bought one in August. It lasted until a couple of weeks ago; she was long since bored with it and the inability to replace the built-in keyboard, which she hated, was the final straw. When I got my HD2, she grabbed my old HD (and loves it) and my 13 year old son now has the iPhone...which he is slowly but surely getting bored with.

The HD2 isn't flawless and while I have some sympathy with HTC - they're condemned if they don't change the interface and condemned when they do - the fact that a host of standard tweaks now don't work, the screen is twitchy (it does get better) and the memory is crippled by some dopey limitations is unforgiveable.

Would I swap the HD2 for any of my previous devices? Hell no. Ever onwards and upwards. I'll take HTC's desire to push the envelope ahead of the iPhone's pandering to the lowest common denominator any day.
[HD2 General] simplymee:
I would consider it a rather glib notion on society to equate the functionality of a device to be a measure, and utility of intellectual capacity and prowess. I would certainly say that the use of my hd2 was not as fulfilling as my law degree in terms of intellectual satisfaction. But if that is what you look for from a device then fair enough I suppose, let's just hope that marketplace can release some form of mensa based sudoku... Although I would quickly become despondent at the possibility of marketplace being expanded rapidly. Unless this is just a novelty in which case your interest would quickly wain.

What did it for me was the poor keyboard which hampered the experience. It's like buying a car and then saying you hate the engine but putting up with it irrespective. Opinions opinions... The true demoninator of society, and the consideration of upper or lower? Well, just a mere opinion in itself also.

Well im currently an iphone user and was planning on getting the HD2 in 3 weeks (my o2 upgrade date) but i keep changing my mind and dont know whether to wait for the HTC Dragon/passion instead.

Its a tough one as i love android on my wifes hero but never used a winmo device before so obviously cant compare the two!

Im slightly swaying towards the htc dragon purely because its the same specs as the HD2 but also uses android 2.0

I guess i just dont want to risk getting the HD2 and then a few weeks later see the HTC dragon storm all over the place. Yes i know i could sell one to get the other etc but i really dont plan in doing that.

I guess ill make my mind up once the new htc device is amongst us so i can do a proper comparison.
[HD2 General] polystirenman:
well i have to say that when i first got my hands on this device i was a bit disaponted by all known bugs.but after few days i started to geting used to it.now i think those things are not bugs after all(exept poor camera and the ugly pink spot in centere)it is just something new and needs time.when a got my old Touch Pro i remember having troubles to use new Ezinput but after a while i was able to write sms realy fast.i havent used the tweak to decrease screen sensitivity on my Leo and now i can write sms almost without mistake.

what i was trying tosay is that after two weeks with this beauty i just love it and i'm realy enjoy watching this thing "fly".it is super fast and it has realy cool design.

that's my opinion btw.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
The Dragon may have the same specs but the pictures of it show it's also ugly (as most Android devices are).

Also, Android as an OS may be great but it's severely lacking in the multimedia and SatNav departments so far (yeah, I know some apps exist and there's that free Google thing but even the demos show its routing algorithm is horrible, if you watch attentively, besides requiring an always-on conection that will deplete your data plan and may not be always reliable). If this Dragon finally brings decent screen resolutions to Android you're going to have even more software compatibility problems for sure.
