[HD2 General] robertlewisca:
The volume buttons have only ever changed volume in HTC Music on my phone. In fact, it uses a slightly different volume screen. Instead of going to the full-screen volume thing like on any other screen, it has a nice little popup overlay of the volume while still being able to see the album cover in the background.
[HD2 General] levi3man:
you write that as if everything is fine and dandy when it clearly isn't. yes sometimes it changes the volume like you have stated while, on the other hand it decides to change the track instead.

what we need is a solution to this.
[HD2 General] bogdan wst:
i encountered this problem today in my hd2 youtube application (volume button got the video forward or backward instead of bringing the sound up/down). i uninstalled g alarm and restarted the phone and it came back to normal. hope this helps you.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Here's another thread about this problem. It's vital that all people with this bug let HTC support know about it, so please report it! Maybe we could even get a fix in the upcoming 1.48 ROM update...
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
The problem will come back. Resetting the device solves the problem, but only temporarily. No need to uninstall G-Alarm.
[HD2 General] bogdan wst:
thanks. i will reinstall g-alarm.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] deadwrong03:
The US Cellular version of the tp2 has the weather in the clock, with weather animations on the home screen like the hd2 has. i was wondering why cant we just copy all of the manilla files from the us cellular tp2 to the verizon/sprint tp2 to have the same htc sense ui that us cellular's tp2 has?

that way you wont have to flash roms or anything?

jump to 5:55 in this video to see the weather animations on the us cellular tp2

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ohyeahar:
Hey dude, things don't work that way. It's a different version of Sense (aka Manila) that has the weather animations.

Not sure how to explain why it doesn't work that way. It's like saying you can just add a couple of files into the Windows directory to upgrade your OS from WinMo 6.1 to 6.5. It just doesn't work that way.

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been answered before!

Does anyone know if its possible to install an Android rom on the HTC HD2? That phone with android would be amaazing.

Thanks!
[General Topics] lbcoder:
Not without a whole lot of work.

It is definitely a waste of that hardware to put wincrap on it.

The one reason I would NOT contribute to running android on that device is that every one of those devices that HTC sells, some amount of your $$ gets sent to microshaft, so strictly from the perspective of "I absolutely will NEVER give ONE THIN DIME to those greedy evil bastards", I would ignore the hardware and not do anything that could potentially boost its sales.

Thanks for the responses...

Yeah I would love to see Android 2.0 on a Snapdragon processor. I too have a distaste for contributing to MS by purchasing an HD2, but it would be worth it :-P

I get the feeling the recently confirmed "Google Phone" will infact be a modification of the HD2. The thing is, it's so fricken perfect in terms of form factor, I hope they don't make it worse in an attempt to make it distinguishable different from the original

Fingers crossed. And thanks, Ill check out that link.

So do you own an HTC HD2 or not? If as you say you shouldn't have one, and how you would know if Android is not easy to install on HD2?

You can hate MS as we all do, but don't bad mouth a great piece of hardware, which maybe great if it runs Android.

[General Topics] nomad33fw:
Better be aware of who you support

You complain about MS but think that Google is better? Really! You might want to check into the politics and beliefs of the Google CEO Eric Schmidt. In one of his most recent interviews he stated that he saw nothing wrong with controlling the news available to users via it's home page and search engine. Funnier yet is that they complain about China's censorship, I guess he beliefs censorship is ok as long as he is the censor.

Anyway, didn't mean for this to become a rant, but Google is no better than MS when it comes to attempting to control a market. Windows & Palm were first on the scene with smart phones and both of their operating systems have grown tremendously. I would even say that Apples iPhone OS would not be as intuitive today if it were not for MS and Palm.
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
Do you really want to port your own version of Android to HD2? It will never be as smooth and fast compared to say just buying an HTC Supersonic.

Also, what do you do with it when everybody has moved to Android 3.0? You won't have any support for it. The ROM Cook may no longer be interested with porting Android 3.0 to what would have been an old outdated piece of hardware in a year's time.

You're better off just buying an HTC Supersonic. At least you could pray that HTC would give you future Android versions when they become available.
[General Topics] sancmat:
I've played with a Nexus one and a HD2. The hardware is not close in my opinion. The supersonic (Evo) looks great but it's cdma.
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
I'm sure (or at least hopeful) that a GSM version will be available later. It's a shame to have such an excellent spec hardware not available to the rest of the world.
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Really! I've gotten so tired of my Pro2 with WM 6.5, I would buy one in a heartbeat if it was GSM and supported my carrier's 3G. But of course, AT&T has to get the worst Android phones in history in its lineup while forgetting about HTC completely.
[General Topics] Slystorm:
If the only thing to edit is the radio rom, shouldn't be such a big deal for all the developers here.

Really looking forward to my HD2 running android!!
[General Topics] steady6:
I hope you know why At&t doesn't want htc smartphones on their lineup? The reason is because they dont want any htc phones to destroy the iphone. Which is true...sales will drop if a htc 4"3 screen showed up. Not to mention apple is sueing htc.
[General Topics] bizmark03:
I just noticed the HTC desire has almost identical specs as the HD2, except for the screen size, most of it is the same, both are gsm....cant they port the android os from the desire on to the HD2..??
[General Topics] Timothye:
i want to know this as well .

Android for the hd2 ?

windows mobile isnt what i expected at all . A total failure (WM6.5 )actually IMHO
[General Topics] kpejr187:
Think the Droid Incredible ROM would work on a HD2?? I don't know if it being from Verizon would make a difference or not. BTW - Droid Incredible is the strangest name for a phone EVER!!
[General Topics] Purple Drama Llama:
NO! It's a CDMA phone with different specifications. And yea, it's kind of an odd name.
[General Topics] bizmark03:
does it matter if its CDMA or GSM?, because I heard that the radio and os are two different things...so would it be possible to run the android os from a cdma phone on the hd2 but install a gsm radio on it?

If not, they can use the android os from the desire, that one is gsm.....
[General Topics] bassmeister:
Has it been done? Can the OS from the desire be "portet" to the HD2... would be great....
[General Topics] numba1guju:
i have a feeling it will be possible but we will have to wait for the evo 4G to be released
[General Topics] Purple Drama Llama:
If you flash a Android ROM to the HD2, you will BRICK the device without question. If you Flash a GSM radio on a CDMA device you will BRICK it without a question. If you do either, you will not be able to recover your device. It's possible to port the OS from the Desire to the HD2. It's been done before with every HTC device since the Vouge through the Rhodium.
[General Topics] k20a1:
it would be nice to see the desire rom ported to the hd2 :D

The only thing stopping me from grabbing an HD2 right now is the lack of android OS...has one been developed yet?

I'm so anxiously waiting for this to happen. The HD2 is a sexy piece of hardware but no matter how much you sugar coat it, Windows Mobile sucks.

I'm considering selling this phone for the MyTouch Slide when it's released. The Droid would be ideal but with what HD2's are going for used on ebay (funny there are so many...) what I get for the HD2 won't buy me a Droid without forking over some extra money.
[General Topics] mfrey0118:
Ok, so I got my HD2 from T-Mobile on Thursday, been playing with it for 4 days now...

First, I hate Microsoft and Bill Gates with a passion so I am not a tool for them. That said, I have to admit that WinMo 6.5 has actually impressed me so far. The word I keep using is "polished".

My first experience with any Linux system was Android on the G1. First smart phone ever, in fact. So when I first got it, I read everything about how HTC dropped the ball on the development, blah, blah, blah...so the first thing I set out to do was root it so I could get more memory and do other things like tethering.

Well, to put my G1 experience in a nutshell: BUGGY

Man did I ever get frustrated. My phone would be out of commission for entire days as I tried to fix and change things on that phone. Lots of F/C's, hangs, reboots, no matter what ROM I was using. Plus, I was always painfully aware of the G1's shortcomings, and what I can't do...

Enter the HD2 running stock WinMo 6.5...NICE! Very fast, very smooth, and so far very little buggage. Even the error reports are for minor things and the phone recovers very fast. My only gripe with WinMo so far is the lack of free apps in their marketplace. But I can live with that if it means my phone works all the time!

So I am grudgingly giving Microsoft a pass this time. After the failures and frustrations of the G1, coming to a WinMo phone like the HD2 has been very...refreshing.

When I first thought about getting the HD2 (after I spent yet another afternoon wiping, flashing, and reinstalling), I searched everywhere to find out if there was hope of flashing an Android ROM to it. Seemed like people were pretty hopeful on the boards, so I dove in...

However, I am not so sure I even want to go down that road now. I mean, I am watching full version websites with FLASH CONTENT now on my HD2! That, in and of itself, is a miracle.

I guess I would be agreeable to a dual boot setup, with Android and WinMo, so I can see how Android runs on this...but that means a cooked ROM, which means BUGS, BUGS, and more BUGS...

BTW, How do I know if I have the 1024MB version? One person on here said you can't tell by the memory info in Settings, and if you have the green and red call/end buttons you have the 1024MB TMOUS version...any truth to that?
[General Topics] mfrey0118:

[General Topics] _atlien_:
I never understand why a regular person sides with the megacorporations instead of with other regular people. Who in her right mind wants to pay more. It's not like the companies aren't billionaires already, right? Geez.
[General Topics] cyclonesworld:
WinMo isn't horrible but it's not perfect. I keep having stupid issues like the home screen locking up, the camera not working unless I reboot, stupid stuff that would mostly result from too much memory in usage. I close programs with the task manager when I'm not using them, I have nothing installed on my phone that should cause these kind of issues.

Also I really don't feel that 6.5 is polished. Under HTC Sense is that ugly buggy operating system that hasn't changed much since my first smart phone running WM 2002. Android however is really kicking ass in the cellphone world at the moment and I feel this device would really be used to it's full potential running Android.

About the different versions of the phone. The HTC HD2 (without the red and green buttons) has 448mb I believe where the T-Mobile HD2 (with red and green buttons) seems to have 564mb(?). I may be mixed up with my details but that's just my observations. If the phone physically has 1gb, I have no idea. With WM6.5 it sure as hell does't act like it :P
[General Topics] zippa71385:
For the most part I do agree, when I said about the beer budget I was just referring to not willing to spend money... I hae no problem spending a duffel bag of money for a phone so long as it works like a dream and Im happy, for example the N1... Still havnt regretted anything, I mean Ive had it since janurary. Evo, HD2, incredible, and others are just coming out... I'll re-up soon as the next generation smart phones come out
[General Topics] mfrey0118:
Well, I am still running the stock 2.13 ROM with WinMo 6.5 and I have none of those issues. Been using it for almost two weeks now...as a matter of fact, the only time my phone started getting a little buggy feeling was when I installed several tweak cabs.

I guess I say it's polished because I am comparing it to Android 1.6 and 2.0 cooked for the G1 (my only Android experience)...

And I guess the "flash size" setting in "about phone" is the indicator of the memory size for HSPL2..? It says "1024 MB"...
[General Topics] gt45turbo:
Exceeded expectations

I purchased and modded my hd2. I am currently running cooked rom. I must say prior to any mods the hd2 performed without any of the issues mentioned....no coughs or hickups whatsoever. Prior to purchasing the hd2 I had done some research on reviews for this phone, read many web sites and most of them knocked the hd2, specially the camera. After I purchased the phone I realized people are full of crap, the camera on this phone out performed any camera phone I ever owned, right out of the box without adjusting settings this camera phone blows away my $700 nikon digital slr. This is an awesome phone It has performed flawlessly and now with elegancia it blazes like a dream. I couldnt be happier regardless of the OS.:D

[General Topics] attn1:
I don't think he said anything bad about the hardware at all - quite the contrary.

He said it would require a lot of effort, and I think it's a safe assumption that a complete port would be a lot of work since the Nexus One can't even run a ported Desire ROM without some issues.

He might have been a little over the top about his assessment of Microsoft purchases, but maybe not. Since they are universally hated, why give them another nickel if it can be avoided? They've forgotten who put them on the map in the first place - hackers - ignored their contributions and proceeded to build the biggest bag of viruses since Hitler's whore.

Give the guy a break, okay?

[General Topics] KevlarTheGreat:
I think a lot of you are stuck in a "I hate Microsoft because they are a big corporation" mindset and refuse to see that they actually made a pretty good OS with WM6.5. The HD2 performs very well and the camera is beautiful. I recently purchased a $300, point and shoot camera but I find myself using the HD2 instead because it's more convenient and the pictures are almost as good.

My HD2 has had to be rebooted maybe a total of 3 or 4 times since I got it about 2 months ago. No doubt there are a few issues with the OS and sense UI, but overall, it's still great.

About the real subject here...

Even though I like the phone the way it is, I'm always dying to try other OS's on my phone for some reason. Now that EVO is out there wouldn't it be easy to port the OS to the HD2?
[General Topics] PoisonWolf:
Here's a tip....similar physical dimensions does not equate to "easy to port".
[General Topics] kiljoy:
You need to return your dslr then cause you dont know how to use it. You should never have bought a dslr because you are a point and shoot type of guy. I like my hd2's camera too, it out performs most phones i have used and seen, but my Nikon blows this and all camera phones out of the water.

[General Topics] KevlarTheGreat:
Obviously, I wasn't referring to the physical dimensions, but Evo and HD2 must share a lot of the same hardware (display, touch, same processor, etc), thus those drivers (or system code) would be the same, etc... Of course there are some differences.. maybe the radio because Evo supports 4G, etc, but some of it has to be the same.

I'm a Hardware Design Engineer so I know if you don't have to change something for a price, performance, or sustainability issue, you don't change it. Why make extra work for yourself?

Drivers aren't hardware dependant. They're hardware and OS dependant. You couldn't use the same device drivers from an Android phone on a Windows phone. If you could, there'd be no point in having device drivers.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] naziroo:
Hey everyone! Yesterday, for the first time since I rooted and upgraded my ROM, I did not receive txts from anyone even though I sent our several texts - even spoke to my friends today who said that they responded. And it wasn't Sprint's fault, cos even after rebooting my phone, they wouldn't come through. But texts sent after rebooting would come through successfully.

Any idea why? I went through a whole day thinking my friends were ignoring me. Not a great feeling on Thanksgiving's eve :(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] naziroo:
FYI - I've just set up Google Calendar to send me an SMS alert every hour just to make sure that I'm receiving txts from now on. It's not the easiest workaround, but at least if I'm down, I'll know it's just for an hour. Any thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VoXHTC:
I'm gonna say it's not the ROM and blame it on Thanksgiving.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
If HTCIQ force closes on your phone for any reason then every thing will functional properly including sending texts, but you won't receive any. And a reboot won't cause them to come through. I'm not saying that's what happened (did you have any FC's?) but it's possible.

But just like vox said, there's no reason to think it's the rom. There have been 325 downloads of 0.6 so if there was an issue, it would be a known one. Kind of one of those "if you are the only one experiencing the problem...." type of things. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] naziroo:
FYI, so far I've received my Google Calendar hourly alerts for 12, 1, 3 & 4 pm (it's now 4.27pm PST) but the 2pm one did not come through :( I remember yesterday that I had a force close message for the Voice Recorder app. Could it be possible it's one of the apps running in the background?

What's HTCIQ? And how do I prevent it from FC'ing?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
Do you have any themes or optimizations or anything other than fresh 0.6? Are you using clear as a bell?

How did you put voice recorder back on?
