On my opinion, the HTC HD2 is the best device I've ever had.

The volume things aren't bugged. The speakerphone is simply perfect!

I'm saying this for some reasons..:

*- Have you ever downloaded MP3s that aren't so loud? Well, with this volume control, you can make those MP3s as loud as you want without distortions.

*- If you have a loud MP3 and you raise the volume @max, there will be a distortion, but this is obvious!

*- On your device, you can plug in earphones, PC speakers, professional headphones etc. for professional headphones you can raise the volume at the level you want. Or even for PC speakers.

As for the messages things, yeah, I have to delete messages for a fast charge of SMS conversations, but you can always disable the threaded mode for messages and won't notice any slowdown.

As for me, the HTC HD2 is simply perfect. It needs better SnapDragon drivers because they're so crap: the QSD chipset can do better performance with optimized drivers, but this isn't an HTC fault. Qualcomm plays in that thing!

When an OEM like HTC starts a project, it doesn't have BSPs for building the OS and.. what will an OEM do?

It requests the BSP package, in the case of HTC, it requests the BSP for SnapDragon boards, then integrates it in the OS and makes all the compiled thing to boot on the device.

If the driver isn't so good, is because of Qualcomm, not because of HTC, as they don't write any driver for that platform because when HTC buys the license for distributing the QSD chipset, in that license there is even the BSP package and rewriting all the BSP from zero would be a waste of money and I don't think that they can do better because I think that Qualcomm engineers would know their product way better than someone that simply integrates it in their devices.

HTC HD2: THE BEST DEVICE ON THE MARKET.
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
Bullys / fanboys whatever.

This is a post to the very few, the vast majority of users need read no further!

I have never seen so much *****ing on XDA in my life.

If someone has a negative feeling towards the phone, they are ridiculed and ganged up on with "sell the phone and stop complaining", "you are wrong its the best phone ever", "must be operator error" etc etc.

Its pathetic. Some people cannot bear the thought that, maybe, just maybe they have made the wrong decision in buying this phone. So they defend it to the death, no matter who they offend.

My feelings towards this phone, and all HTC phones in general are this:

Out of the box these phones are awful. Buggy, laggy, slow and unuser friendly. That is the reason this forum came to being in the first place. My HD2 is fine, but it seems some people have devices that are not. This does not suprise me in the slightest. But instead of helping, people are accusing them of liars, or idiots, "go back to the to the iPhone" etc.

The reason I, and most people have stuck with it is that with the help of this forum, these phones can be everything they should have been out of the box and so much more. This is something that people new to HTC may not understand quite yet, so rather than shooting them down in flames maybe people should be a little more friendly, after all these phones are not cheap!

As for the OP... I use the speaker function when driving, the volume seems perfect to me but would probably be too loud for the office etc.

Buttons without illumination - 100% agree. If the screen is on, those buttons should be lit. My process of making a phone call is to find the contact, and press the hard button to call. This is frustrating in the dark as I sometimes press the home button instead. There will likely be a cab for this soon.
[HD2 General] rob_c:
I notice Kholk that you have in your signature that you ROM is 1.43.405.1 [70124]

Do you get the volume problem??

I have the volume problem (too loud) and have ROM 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE and its dated 11/06/09

I wonder if the people with none of these problems have the later Roms???

:confused::confused:
[HD2 General] simplymee:
So, do you need to press the home/back buttons when you have an incoming cal then? Perhaps these specific buttons should not illuminate when a call is coming through to save battery life. Arguably, NO buttons should illuminate to save battery life upon an incoming call because you can use the touchscreen to accept/reject an incoming call.

I am not saying that the HTC HD2 should implement telekinesis (too much of a battery drain imo...) but it would be nice to see the back/home button etc whilst you were in a dark environment and using the touchscreen, e.g. laying in bed.

Funny that you even mention battery drain as a result of illumination. Considering the HD2's abysmal battery life, perhaps if the buttons did not illuminate, you may get what, another 2 seconds life out of it.

Alas which time would be wasted trying to find a hardkey ;)
[HD2 General] Ruudfood:
I don't have the HD2 yet but I can see some of the points of the OP.

- Yes, the lights should most definitely illuminate when the screen is also lit.

- Threaded SMS from the Leo ROMs I've flashed to my X1 is a joke. Any more than say 30 messages from one person and you wait an age to be able to send a message and it overlaps the message text with the time or shows texts in the wrong order. I thought it was because my X1 simply didn't have the power to cope with a large number of messages but apparently not. HTC need to fix threaded SMS because it's simply poor. There should be no "you can always tweak to use classic SMS view" excuse!

- The speaker issue on the other hand sounds like either personal preference or a hardware problem.

The only comment I can make to the OP is that if there are problems with your handset that you think could be resolved with an exchange, wait until you've gone through 3 handsets before you claim that it's the worse device you've ever had.

Alternatively, if you think the software problems are insurmountable then send your phone back and get a different model!
[HD2 General] jpmalum:
Sucks for you Pal!

I am enjoying my HD2 big time. and each time i pick it up in my hands my heart skips a beat :) - So to speak...
[HD2 General] pedmond:
+1.

Smartphones are for smart people :)
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Smartphones which are faulty are for dumbasses ;-)
[HD2 General] jakem:
There's a difference between the buttons lighting up briefly when the phone rings and lights being on whenever the screen is lit up. The first acts as a simple indication that the phone is ringing (the ringer might be silent and it's arguably faster to answer the phone by hitting the answer button than fiddling with the touchscreen) while the other serves no useful purpose save for the few times when you might be using the phone in the pitch black. I think we can both agree that lighting the buttons briefly for an incoming call is going to have a negligable impact on the battery. How hard is it to press a button if you

NEED

them to light up anyway?

By the way, I don't have any problems with my battery ;)
[HD2 General] loomx:
The problem with the text is a bit annoying, I have to say tho, to the people who dont have HD2s, its definetly not anywhere near as bad as it was using manila 2.5 on other phones, When I had it on the diamond and diamond 2 it really did take for ever to load, on my HD2 its about a few seconds delay. But its still really annoying!
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
100% Spot on!!
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Yeah this phone is buggy, but so it my nokia 5800 and thats a year old, i ferking love this phone, its the best i have ever had, i cant wait for the problems to be fixed, stick with it and you will love it forever, i keep mine in my pocket :)
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
it's about time you stop with this crap! We all now are aware of your disappointment and frustration with regards to the HD2. We also know that you wanted to "inform" us about this all, but you're overreacting now. So please stop harrasing us with your anger.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Um, excuse me but I was replying to someone who was making out that perhaps I wasn't smart enough to operate my phone. Take my reply out of context why don't you? Oh and as I am the OP it is only right that I respond now and again within my own thread. Am I supposed to state my point and then disappear? I have been abused and attacked within this thread so I reserve the right to reply!
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Of course you have the right to reply in the thread you started. However, I did not take your reply out of context. I only reacted to your way of reacting which is not very polite. The remark to which you reacted was IMO only meant as a joke, although a bit cynical, but not personal. I therefore want to ask you to not get carried away by comments and not to take them as personal attacks. Nobody wants to offend you.

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 General] addyb:
To be fair to the OP hes well within his rights to say the HD2 is the "worst phone" hes ever had.

Its only the same as someone saying its the "best ever" phone they've owned.

There is far too much flaming on here when someone has a negative view on the phone. I personally dont own the HD2 yet (upgrade date is next week)so im still with my iphone, which in itself is a fantastic bit of kit and as my first smartphone im happy with the purchase but nearly 3 years on im looking for something a bit more customisable.

Still not sure whether to just wait a couple of mths until a lot of peoples niggles with the HD2 are ironed out or just go for it next week. I like to play and tweak stuff so i'll prob enjoy fixing or trying to fix any little bugs i find.

That being said i can see why people are annoyed with stupid little problems that shouldnt be there out of the box. If your not savvy with tweaking etc then its the wrong phone choice.
[HD2 General] jakem:
I don't think anyone is denying his right to say that he doesn't like the phone. However, he refuses to listen to advice given to help him and continues to carry on about it. At this point he's just trolling.
[HD2 General] addyb:
Well yeah id agree that its getting to that point.
[HD2 General] pedmond:
Since I was that someone, let me point out the smiley at the end of my post. The smiley means it was a joke. Do you know what a joke is? It's something that's not meant to be taken seriously.

Stop being childish, will you? We're talking about a phone here...
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
Maybe we should all just leave it alone now - points have been made and there is little of value being added other than opportunities for toys to be thrown out of various iPrams and HTCBuggies.

Time to let the thread die off now...?
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
second that. Has gotten already way too much attention.
[HD2 General] Noonski:
Agree,

If this thread is only being used to complaint and not actually do something to fix these issues (as is the great tradition of XDA).

Then i have no problem injecting this thread with a lethal dose and put it to sleep.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
hi,

i'm having problems with google maps latitude not updating in the background. i'm supposed to be able to have my google maps location updated automatically in the background by cell id location detection.

apparently some phones are unable to do this :

"Windows Mobile phones that do not support cell ID (cell tower) location detection because of a manufacturer limitation in allowing the proper API will not be able to use Latitude to update location automatically in the background. This is a limitation of certain Windows Mobile phones that cannot be worked around currently."

does anyone know if the x1 supports cell ID location detection ?

thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
The google maps cell id location (not with latitude) works for me. It gives me my (general, about a radius of 300 yards) location even with the GPS turned off.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
thanks for the reply !

do you use latitude and does it auto-update ?

cheers !
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
It does .. if you have GM on, it updates about once per minute, via GSM or GPS. If you turn them off with Latitude on, it will ask you if you want to detect the position even with GM off. If you say yes, GM will silently start-up every 20 minutes, detect to position via GSM, and then update the position in Latitude. It works even with phone in stand-by (screen turned off).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
i have just re-downloaded the latest version of maps and it hasn't updated in over an hour despite the fact that i have latitude updates switched on.

any ideas ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
still no update in 12 hours !
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
Strange .. you can use FdcSoft TaskManager to display notifications queue. You should see GoogleMaps waiting there for next 20 minutes. It works for me but I used it only two days or so. I will test it some more.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
It seems the refresh is only done when data connection is active. It does not initiate one. Also WIFI is by default off on X1 while standby (GPRS is not).

But it works rather reliably it seems.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
hmmm, still no update for me in 18 hours. my data connection has been on for a couple of hours during that time.

any ideas ?

what should i be looking for in my notifications queue ?

cheers !
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
The process is GoogleMaps\googlemapsrunat.exe and it should be on top. Hard to miss, really.

Btw. you have latitude working when GM is on, right ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
hi,

yeah, latitude works just fine when i'm actually in google maps but as soon as i close the app, my location is no longer updated.

i don't have that process in my list - i assume it's there all the time and is run every 20 minutes or so ?

when i have google maps open, choose Latitude and the click the Privacy tab, i have "Detect your location" selected. is there anything else that i need to do ?

thanks again !
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
Not sure if we understand eachother .. it should not be in the process list .. it is in 'notifications' list. There is queue of all tasks scheduled for some time or event. Fdc Task manager can display the queue, just select it from the combo.

There you should see it waiting.

Are you asked if you want to detect location when exiting GM ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
ok, that makes more sense.

it's not there either and i'm not prompted when exit google maps ...

:-(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
My version is 3.2.1 (#35).

Btw. I have just found .. you must exit the maps with 'exit' command in menu. Closing it with X won't ask the question.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
genius !

ok, i now have the notification so hopefully my updates will work from now on ...

thanks for all your assistance. :-)

have just checked and it auto-updates after an hour. not ideal but better than nothing !

thanks again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
I periodically go into modes in which I need to clean clean clean my computers and gadgets and I was wondering if there was an app or something out there to detect which of my installed programs have been installed on the Storage Card and which have been installed on the Device.

I'd basically like to find what I truly need to install on the Device and reinstall everything else on the Storage Card to save Device disk space.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ThreeTima:
Don't quote me on this, but I think DinarSoft MemMaid has something like this. I had it at one time on an old phone of mine. I seem to remember not only having this functionality, but being able to change to and from the other storage (from Main-> Card and Vice verse).

It may have been program specific, but It's definatly worth looking into.

if you goto the following link and go down to "Storage Memory" (maybe a little more then 1/2 down the page), it says that it does have the ability to see "What and Where" things are installed.

http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/details.html

Hope it helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] barbo:
I could be wrong but if you open File Explorer and look in the Programs folder on "My device" you'll see all stuff installed on device memory and if you look on your storage card there is also a Programs folder with all the programs installed there. Perhaps I misunderstood your question and this isn't helpful - in that case, sorry!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
Actually this was the original problem. Programs installed on the memory card will not only put files in the Program Files folders on the Storage Card, but can also install some in the Device Program Files folder, the Device Documents and Settings folder and even in the Windows folders.

Someone from PPCGeeks recommended using SKTools to figure this out and behold: not only a way to see where the install folder is, but you can move it to the card from the device and vice-versa if wanted!
[Touch CDMA General] smarcin:
First, I would like to say thanks to all the devs who have been working on Android builds for our Touches. I have tried several in the last few weeks and like them all.

My question is, is anyone on Sprint able to see and buy the paid apps in the Market? (I have searched, but there aren't any recent posts about Sprint and paid apps.) I have tried the Market Enabler, but still see no paid apps. If anyone on Sprint has found a way, please tell us the exact steps you used to make it work.

Right now, my favorite build is the senseHero build, found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582372

I tried running it with just the needed system files, letting it write a new data.img file. I used a virgin gmail account at start-up. Before I went to the Market, I downloaded and ran the newest version of MarketEnabler. Still no paid apps. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Sally
[Touch CDMA General] tatnai:
yes, you can. first, you must have full root access. see here. short version: open up a terminal app on the phone, and type this:

chmod 4755 /bin/su

this sticks after reboot.

second, download market enabler from here. this has to be re-run after a reboot, it does not stick.

run market enabler, go to the second tab, long-click on t-mobile US, and clone it. then run market, you will see all the paid apps.

I know this works on android 1.5, market enabler previously was not working on 1.6 don't know if that has changed.

Hi all.

I know that the X1 was an HTC phone and thus, was included here, but is the X3/X10 also an HTC variant? If not, will it find a home here as the X1 is here?

Later
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
NO.....

not sure about X10 THOUGH
[General Topics] Rudegar:
x1 == htc

x2 != htc foxsomething oem maker think it's the same company that makes iphones for apple

x10 != htc same as x2 I believe

about you being able to use this site well it not being a htc device it will not get it's own forum but judging from the number of x2 stuff in x1 forum it's likely that there will be x10 stuff too

That is fairly easy, the so called "uncode" titles are actually from the file's properties.

First, you right click the file and choose "properties", under the "summary" tab, change the values of the properties in there will solve your problem.

I just got my tilt 2 about a month ago. I want to flash a clean rom, but here are my questions:

1. I heard that I have to unlock my phone before I flash a new rom, is that true?

2. Which rom do you guy recommend? I just need a clean rom with TouchFLO 3D or Sense.

3. How can I back up the rom I'm using now?

4. If I have to unlock my phone to flash a new rom(which I'm not willing to do it now), how can I delete all the pre-installed softwares? I looked it up in Wiki, but when I try to delete something by using CEregeditor, it always says that access denied. How to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
you dont need to sim or security unlock your phone but you do need hardspl. if you want a clean rom with manila/tf3d/sense i would recommend eras2r's rom at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=585403 . and for reverting to stock for warranty and everything else you need check out http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
radio is for wifi, gps, and cellular connections like phone and mobile data. you dont need to flash one. the stock radio that comes on the phone is one of the best stock radios i have seen. on the old touch pro, you would need to flash a new radio if you wanted to get a signal anywhere or use gps in this decade. i always flash the newest radios just cause i can but thats me, i dont like out dated software. i would wait on the radio if i where you, just to know what it all means first.

Let me guess, you navigated to the windows directory of your device? It's not broken. It's just slow. Wait for it to finish.

I would suggest using another file explorer if you need to frequently visit your windows directory. I personally use Resco Explorer. Another popular one is TotalCommander.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jmmmmm:
It takes fooorever for the windows folder to display. Just something to get used to I guess. I wonder if it is possible to setup shortcuts to folders?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tref:
A known issue and not just for the \Windows directory. Explorer on this phone is slow to the point of being useless. Nobody has been able to figure out why. Like others, I use Resco and it works as expected and needed. I would assume there are other 3rd party file explorers that work equally as well.
