Hi

just a warning for all of my fellow cooked Rom installers.

My device developed a fault with its keyboard after only a few weeks of ownership. I sent it back to HTC for a warranty repair having first, loaded the official HTC Rom however, they have invalidated the warranty as the device still had the unlocked SPL which they obviously found during their tests.

They are trying to charge me £200 for the repair which covers the cost of fitting a new motherboard and this does ot cover the keyboard repair either.

I have refused to pay this instead opting to have it shipped back and I'm now left with a duff device.

This is a warning to you that your warranty is absolutely 100% down the tubes if you change the SPL on the device.

I have found out the hard way and wanted to warn you all. Make sure the Rom and SPL is returned back to original state before sending it back.

A very unhappy HTC user. :mad::(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cirrob:
what does spl mean
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Amande:
You can use RhodiumSPLRelocker and Stock_SPL_Restore for warranty. Check out : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550131
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notinkeys:
I'm not sure why this should be a surprise to anyone. That's why I don't do that- don't want to have the warranty broken.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rhodirhodipiper:
hi. at least in the us, statutory law provides that unauthorized modifications void your warranty only if the manufacturer can reasonably show that modification caused the malfunction (see Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975). so for example, if a software modification does not affect a hardware problem, i doubt that htc can void warranties because of software changes. just my 2 cents.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
people dont read enough. of course you need to revert to stock rom, radio, and spl.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MikesDroid:
dude this is not news at all, no offense but it's 100% your fault for not putting the factory SPL back on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Andehh:
Reflash & send it back? Surely they can't refuse it the second time if its all 100% standard?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rahlquist:
Legally no. Although I know I wouldnt have enough money to start a class action suit to fight them.

Technically the device is likely blacklisted from warranty repair for life and notes have likely been made as to why.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kilimax:
It is absolutely my fault which is why I am reminding folk to restore to original before shipping back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kilimax:
My problem was I forgot about the SPL. Duuh :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
yeah. i kinda wish it would be stated a little more clearly in the hardspl threads.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sleuth255:
thanks for posting kilimax! It really is important to revert completely to stock firmware before trying to get warranty work done. Some people aren't aware of this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
I can testify to this. I bricked my phone, flashed original HRDSPL back on there before sending it back. They kept it for just over a month dang it, but I finally did just get it back. I only had to pay $20 for some idiotic Global Warranty whatever fee. But at least it was not $200+ . ;)

And I might add, it is clearly , CLEARLY stated in the HRDSPL thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
Dude, no offense, but the OP was incredibly clear about this post being a warning for others -- a doubtlessly needed warning (what isn't news to you is news to a lot of people) -- he didn't try and blame anyone. This misunderstanding is 100% your fault for not reading the post/understanding the need for the warning. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ryotgz:
Completely agreed. Just a warning and no blames were made.

kilimax-

Try to see if you can find a replacement keyboard online (unless the mainboard needs to be replaced as well). That way you won't have a broken device and should be cheaper than buying a new phone.
[HD2 General] pollenised:
Just been speaking to Vodafone to check my order status, as they were supposed to call when more stock was due yesterday. Been told by one of the managers that they were told late yesterday that they now have no future stock dates, as HTC were seeking to fix 'hardware issues' with the phone. She used the word recall when referring to existing Vodafone phones, and then mentioned the camera explicitly.

So for those of us with unfulfilled orders the wait continues. :confused:

And for those whose phones see the world with a pink hue, a hint of things to come? Anyone else spoken to Voda in the last 24 hrs?
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
I thought the pink hue was a software issue, or at last that is what HTC were reported to have said a few days back and they said they would be releasing a fix. If it is a hardware issue I wonder if the same recall is going to apply to HD2s from other networks, like O2 for example? And if those already sold are going to be swapped?

I'm not too fussed anyway as the hue on mine is barely noticeable, but I have seen photos from some where it's frankly terrible. Despite the quality of a camera on a phone being fairly low on my list of important features, if I owned one of those I would be interested in a swap.
[HD2 General] ijob:
I assume the Vodafone dont know what is really happening, I dont think HTC would lie about this huge issue.

After a week of tests on my handset that I sent to HTC repairs. HTC are returning it back to me without them doing anything apart from installing logging software that identifies the sms issue.

It has been explained to me several times that it [camera] is a software issue that can only be fixed with a patch that will be released as soon as they can, they are working on it.
[HD2 General] Isadora:
I had a call from Voda yesterday (since I emailed a complaint to the UK CEO, I get regular update calls lol) to say that the stock they were expecting hadn't turned up and that the next delivery *should* be 2nd December

Edit: got another call this afternoon from the nice girl who is keeping an eye on my order to inform me that they may get some earlier than the 2nd, she's going to call me back on Monday.
[HD2 General] alan1467:
I have a HD2 from Vodafone and mine is ok ok no problems with the camera. Got it last week
[HD2 General] stabloid:
Only yesterday, I was told 11th December by a Vodafone rep, middle of next week by a T-Mobile rep, and possibly monday by an O2 rep.

All of these companies were meant to give me a call as soon as the hansets came in. It turns out I've missed 1 delivery by T-Mobile, 2 by O2, and 3 by Vodafone even though I ordered with them some 3 weeks ago!!!
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I also thought the camera was an issue that HTC are working on. If there was to be a recall t would be for all phones, as Vodafone ones aren't branded.
[HD2 General] donbronzi:
Damn this is turning out to be a hard phone to get.

I had put an order i with Voda Business and voda general public. The latter said it would be with me by Sat, i called on the Friday to confirm and was told that a small batch came in but wasn't available to their department therefore wasn't available for me and they projected the next batch would be in around the 11th of Dec.

I then called back to make my feelings heard and was told that one would be with me by Monday and was already in transit. This it turns out was the phone i ordered through the business department which must have priority over regular customers.

I haven't heard anything regarding recalls etc but haven't spoken to them since Friday, so i'm really hoping it will be here on Monday. If not i won't be happy!!!!
[HD2 General] chrisnz1947:
Just to confirm the 11 december date. Vodafone UK informed me on 27/11 (which I had been previously told was the date the HD2 shipment where due into their warehouse) that this will not now be until 11/12.

However if there are hardware issues this may well drift into 2010.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
I'd hazard a guess the delay is due to some of the bugs noted in this forum seen on the first shipped ROM.

As many people have said here - the average mobile consumer expects their device to just 'work' when it comes to the basics (calls, sms etc). Vodafone aren't doing their own ROM but instead taking what HTC have provided; this means bugs and all. Trouble is while the average WM user who has paid £500 from Expansys etc would come here to look to fix such bugs, the average Vodafone user would be on the phone / back to the Vodafone shop complaining that their phone is "rubbish, doesn't work, can't use it, refund please". I'd therefore guess this is why they are delaying accepting HTC shipments - until their own QA people are happy.

For the record - while I understand this view - I personally would MUCH prefer them to just send me a phone and I'll update it to later firmware when available. But that's just my personal preference! Guess such things are the price you pay when a high end tech gadget like the HD2 attempts to make it into the mainstream consumer market - you're never going to please everyone. On the one hand HTC should have probably done a bit better with their QA, on the other hand no doubt they were under pressure to release. Whichever way they could have jumped their would have been complainers!! I mean, the people on here complaining about basic bugs - would they have been happier if the phone was delayed until say March next year?! Maybe some would've been, but probably not most.

IMO HTC have to keep people on-board by providing updated ROMS / Hotfixes quickly - weeks not months.

Just my opinion.. :)
[HD2 General] sunking101:
How long do these hotfixes take to come? I mean, shouldn't some HTC programming team be able to fix all this in ONE DAY?? (*providing it is software problems of course).

I am stuck here with a faulty handset that O2 can't replace because they have no stock. I'm just wondering whether to ditch it and go with another manufacturer. Even if it was working perfectly (which I somehow doubt will happen) it's still a total nightmare typing on the virtual keyboard. I have to correct virtually every word I type and for a previously hardcore texter, I have actually come to loathe texting. It has become a chore!
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Sounds like the HD2 isn't for you re. txt'ing. I felt similar around 2 yrs ago (in that I hated touch screen phones for txt'ing) but have since come round. Each to their own.

Re. the hotfixes etc, sadly turning them around in a single day just isn't realistic. Maybe on a home-brew app, but it is with these sorts of timelines which lead to the mistakes in the first place. I'd say you'd be looking at a turnaround time of 2 weeks MINIMUM from bug identification to public release, most probably longer. While it certainly isn't ideal I'd be happy if they turned things round in <1 month.

I know, I know, not ideal the bugs are there in the first place, but such is life! :)
[HD2 General] MicTh:
hmm... I can undestand what youre saying and I can agree in some of it. But if it is a hardware error with the camera, is dosen´t fit under the decription "bug" in my opinion

As to whriting on the HD2 I totally disagree, it´s so nice and i whrite very fast on it :)
[HD2 General] bigsro:
Hi Madindehead - is there a way of checking my vodafone internet usage? Cant seem to find it online on my account page?! I know there is a fair usage policy of 500MB but when I checked my phone this morning the notification tab stated I had been connected to the HSDPA network for 6 hours?! am I right in thinking this is just the connection being kept alive?

Also is there any software out there that can monitor my 3G connection?
[HD2 General] Isadora:
I wouldn't worry too much about the FUP to be honest, I don't know anyone who got told off for going over. Plus I think that if everybody tries to stay below it they'll never change it, on the other hand if the majority of people goes over it they might "officially" raise it.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Got mine this morning, woot. Would have had it yesterday but Royal Mail suck...
[HD2 General] Starfury:
they had a huge batch in on Monday 30th November
[HD2 General] fz9999:
Correct, I ordered mine on-line last night and have an RM tracking number for it to be delivered tomorrow morning :)
[HD2 General] stratplayer:
I got mine from Vodafone yesterday, not branded in anyway at all.

My mate got his too from Vodafone on Monday.

Problems I have so far

1. Can't send SMS messages at all!

2. Bluetooth wont switch on

No issue with the camera so far, battery life not too bad.

Can't get any twitter or facebook updates to notify me when screen locked, but then I havent read the manual!!

Lovely phone though
[HD2 General] Moandal:
You're lucky then! I've ordered through Vodafone business, and they can't access the online stock (why not?) and won't get their own stock until 14th December.

Frustrating.

Hello out there.

I can't change my email settings anymore. Also I can't create a new mail account. If I click on these buttons nothing happens. If I click longer I can delete the accounts that all.

What can I do? Please help.

[Touch 3G General] Zaikoff:
My advice is to create your account with a alternative program, which is for example Profi Mail which I use with a pleasure. It's very easy to operate with it, and it's very practical, here is the version I use:

http://uploading.com/files/41d4fc78/ProfiMail.v.3.20.rar/

Read the text file in archive, just register it with CD-Key that you want: 543435, 634535334, 434232, 5643534, 654453, 5345 or something like that.
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
try softreset, delete all email settings, softreset and create new email.
[Touch 3G General] balba2009:
Thanks.

For the second tip I can tell you that I deleted the accounts. But if I click to create a new one nothing happens at all. That´s great.

Anyone an idea? Is it possible that there is something wrong in my registry?

[G1 General] Ace42:
I think most T-Mo customers suffer from that, you see they have very small 3G coverage and Edge is super slow on tmobile. You must've had a faster carrier like veri$on,$print,At$T,O2, etc before. Well i had sprint before and they had some great speed and i always had Evdo, but now i only get this damn edge connection.

Hi,

My company is using Lotus Notes Traveler and Lotus Mobile Connect as solution for mobile emailing.

I could install Lotus Notes Traveler and Lotus Sametime Mobile (both intended for Windows Mobile 6.1) without any problem, however I am not able to install our VPN client, Lotus Mobile Connect.

When I try to install, the installation screen shows up and after 1 second gives back the message: "Installation not successful. This CAB file is not intended for your device" - I have attached the CAB file I am trying to use

Has anybody an idea how I can get Lotus Mobile Connect installed on the Windows Mobile Device (maybe manually) or if there is another client which I could use to connect to Lotus Mobile Connect infrastructure at my company?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Insecure:
I just got a uscc tp2 today. This is the first time I have noticed this (which is after I tried to do some registry changes)... so I'm not sure if I did it or if its what all the phones do.

The registry changes I tried to do was:

http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/disabling-the-new-start-menu-on-diamond2-touch-pro2

Now, when every I click the task manager icon, the clock goes back an hour and 1 min, then jumps forward to the current time. I reset the values back to the default and it is still doing this. I'm not exactly sure why. Does anyone else have this same thing happen to them?? Also, not sure if it matters or not, but if you have a uscc tp2 could you check a default registry value. I think I may have changed a wrong one by accident:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila"

"Manila://people.page.hidden"

I currently have it as 0.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Edit: Also the clock issue does it when I close a program as well.

Edit 2: Hard reset didn't change anything.

-Also, task manager X doesn't show up in the upper right hand corner unless I press the start button. Then it appears when I close out of the start menu. Which I'm pretty sure wasn't the case before.

Edit 3: The task manager X does show up, just wasn't giving it enough time to load I guess at first. The clock issue is still there though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pwisseh:

I have recently switched to HTC Hero. A very promising device and I like it very much after having Diamond for a while.

The synchronization between device and google looks however somewhat awkward. Does anyone know how to sync the "birthday" and "anniversary" fields beween telephone google-contacts and and google contacts on the web. Even though both contacts have these fields none of them get synchronized in any direction.

Is it a bug of Android or HTC ?
