I have read about this issue but not had it happen to me once yet, I have sent about 40 messages since I got the phone from O2 on Friday and I have received about 30. All of them without issue.

Did you get yours from O2 or is it a sim free model from elsewhere with your O2 sim in it?
[HD2 General] lumbard:
I get the "disable all Wireless connectionss" here too. Can't say a typo bothers me, but it's a little surprising.

Sim free hd2, ROM 1.43.405.1 (70124) No other problems i've noticed though, but I don't send all that many TXTs.

Alarm does not work

I can set an alarm, allocate a sound, but the alarm only comes up as a notification. I was late for work dammit!:eek:

Background intermittent hiss when talking :confused:
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
Well its looking good so far then..till now we seem to have:

A) camera pink blobby issue with a hotfix on the way..

B) sms' doing what they want but not what you want also with a hotfix in the wings apparently..

C) some background noise for a few of you

and it's looking good for me as a camera on a phone is a gimmick,I hardly ever send sms and if the background noise can be heard in my truck it'll have to be louder than its volume :rolleyes:

Thanks for the comments guys and if anyone else has any others please feel free to add them on

I've managed to lose my opera's multitouch after a bit of tweaking and program installing, though that may well be my fault....

I also have the calendar bug

And I have a weird texting bug whereby sometimes when replying to messages, when I'm trying to type a message in phone keypad mode, when i press the button for a,b,c only 2 comes up and if i try and press another key, then the same. basically, it only outputs numbers.... its very annoying and very hard to solve!
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
My 'issues' so far....

Camera, pink, and unusable viewer in low light (almost cant see anything).

Battery life, maybe 1 day at best.

WM tick box's way too small for finger touch.

Volume rocker, doesnt work in 50% of my games/apps including you tube!

No haptic feedback in Opera.

No pinch zoom in IE.

Lag when entering text in sms conversation mode.

No sent sms confirmation sound or on screen notification (sent the same message 3 times before i realised it had actually gone!!).

If used to solve above problem delivery reports stay in inbox like messages so every other message is a DR!

Emails do not mark as read unless opened in WM viewer not the sense UI.

No easily accessible task manager.

Programs do not close on exit but minimize so stay running in RAM.

Screen does not rotate in all menu's/apps etc...

Opening internet based Apps does not prompt you as to how to connect ie:WiFi or OTA instead defaulting to OTA unless you have already turned WiFi on.

Facebook App is nigh on pointless, cannot 'like' anything or see comments left, etc..

Windows Mobile is way to prominent and should be buried deep behind the Sense UI, specially as we do not have a stylus!

Whole UI feels messy being not really a WM UI and not 100% Sense UI.

Thats a brutal unbiased honest opinion!

The phone itself, hardware, asthetics, etc... are all excellent but the OS and UI are a long way from the polished experience I expected from a flag ship phone.

Some of these can be fixed with Reg tweaks or 3rd party Apps but............ we shouldnt have to!

- Battery drain,

- FM radio reception quality,

- Of course, camera,

- Opera : sometimes displays web pages like Google cache: only text, no images/background
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
Of all listed problems, the only one I have is the camera. Not even the SMS, every time I send a message, it's delivered right away.
[HD2 General] kolomnik:
I have one more issue for you. After I changed timezone to Russia which don't have AM/PM time division(clock range is from 00:00 to 24:00), I can't create a new appointment later than 12:00, because in the HTC calendar I don't have an option to setup time later than 12:00 :-) This is very very annoying.
[HD2 General] GTRoberts:
1. Install HTC's hotfix

2. I get three days out of mine... did you fully charge the battery for at least 12hrs before using the phone?

3. You must have really big fingers as I have no problems at all

4. Thats because app's HAVE TO PROGRAM for buttons, if the programmer didn't include any "reaction" to the volume rocker then the volume isn't going to change.

5. Apply the registry change and it'll do it

6. Current version of IE mobile doesn't support "pinch zoom" because its HTC's implementation of it, not Microsoft's (due with WM7) OR you can use the Zoomer app

7. because its loading HTC's large and ugly SMS app :-(

8. By default, this is turned off. Apply the registry change to turn it back on.

9. Never seen this problem with my Leo

10. Ah, yes it is actually there... just attach it to one of the Sense panels or install Dutty's Task Manager (to phone memory not SD card)

11. This is just an option, its easy to turn on or off in task manager

12. again, the program must support rotation or just use the various rotation apps

13. this is totally correct and makes perfect sense to me. this is not a bug or a problem or a design fault

14. I agree the alpha version of Microsoft's Facebook app is next to useless thats why I just use the website...

15. But you don't need a stylus... what do you actually need to do every day that needs a stylus???? What parts of WM are you seeing every day?? closest I get is pOutlook but I also prefer the original WM SMS app myself and NONE of HTC's programs.

16. Thats your point of view... I haven't read a review of the Leo yet that agrees with you. In fact, nearly all of them say the opposite.
[HD2 General] ovidiaconescu:
1. Where from? Link? It is not in the htc club downloads, or I don't have access to it.

4. Volume works in YouTube.

13. Can you program it to never connect to internet unless it is on WiFi?
[HD2 General] DexyG:
A lot of those problems can be solved using the tweaks in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=584415. The HTC task manager in particular, which is disabled for some unknown reason, is awesome.
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
It's not a discussion mate and you dont have to agree with me.... the OP asked for problems/issues with the HD2 ;)

All of which I listed are problems for me and maybe for him and other people also!

Installing apps and reg tweaks solves a lot of them as I said in my first post and as I have already done myself, but for some people that want a phone that works out of the box with out having to trawl the internet for fixes then it fails.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Well that is how WM is .. do it yourself. On the other hand, you can do almost anything. It is important to know you have to invest time into WM, and I understand if someone comes from iPhone, he might be shocked. I was when I bought X1 after 5 years of Palm OS.

Anyway if there is simple fix for something, it is simply no problem.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Speakerphone volume is WAY too loud, even on the lowest setting.

'Out of memory at line 20' message all the time when using IE

Screen too sensitive when scrolling, am always opening apps that I don't want to...
[HD2 General] RMNZR:
My wishes!

I'm running 1.43.409.1 (70315) NOR

I want:

- My calendar to remind me about birthdays. When I sync a contact with a person's Facebookpage, I also get the date of birth. But alas, it doesn't remind me for instance that "today is Jon Eivind's birthday!"

- To be able to write a new message without waiting for sense to load every message into the threadview. Annoying. And the more SMS I write with a person, the longer the wait for each time I enter the conversation.

- To be able to rely on my phone! Messages I sent last night didn't leave my phone untill I rebooted it this morning after oversleeping because the alarm didn't go of either as it was supposed to.

I think you guys have covered the rest :)
[HD2 General] GiorgosR:
I think we have enough critical mass to start a class action against HTC for making us late for work.

I also have the SMS delay. Which mean that my "I'll be late at the office" SMS arrived late in the evening. Is this a conspiracy from HTC to get me in trouble with the client?
[HD2 General] Highl1:
I have problem with e-mail application. I have two acounts configured, Exchange and GMail. When I hit send/recieve in GMail, it slows down the phone, even if there are no e-mail to sync (I only sync e-mails)

SMS problems

Im not having an sms delay, Im having a problem with SMS's not actualy sending at all! :confused:

It works and I get my notification as usual but since this morning it just stops sending txt's and I have to restart the phone or softrest and then it works again :s

Any ideas?

Anyone experiancing the same thing?
[HD2 General] sunking101:
If you have a PIN on your SIM and type a couple of wrong digits, then press 'cancel' to start typing again....the phone just boots anyway and takes you to the home screen with no network coverage. All your private data is still accessible though!
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
er ... thats perfectly normal behaviour.

SIM lock != device lock.

If you want to protect your data you need to enable the device lock.

Sim lock just stops the sim being used on winmo.

Eratic SMS

Initially I had erratic SMS send receive problems with the HD 2 also.

Originally I'd set the SMS message number to 973 (orange UK network)

After checking with a friend I put in the full number 07973100973 - still had issues.

Finally I compared with my old phone and changed the SMS message centre number and added the +44 and removed the 0. Seems to have worked flawlessly since then.

Fingers crossed. Also at the same time removed NODATA app.

Not put it back on yet.

Hope the above helps.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Ah, I'm sure on my previous Nokia phones that the SIM lock prevented the whole phone from booting. On going through the menus, the only phone lock I can find is one that asks for a password after x amount of minutes when the handset is left idle. Is there a lock similar to the SIM one, which prompts for a PIN only when the phone is booted?
[HD2 General] racer211211:
my hanphone hangs very often and i have to soft reset it to get it to work again ....

it hangs when i accept calls with the screen or when i tr y to unlock it .... then i can move the button to the end but then the sereen just freezes

twice or three times it already froze when accepting a call and made a loud noise....
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
The one you have found is the one you want. If enabled it will prompt you for a password when you boot the phone also.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Thanks! Now I have two codes to type in when I boot....bit tedious lol.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
nice and secure though :-)
[HD2 General] HSKalay:
I've experienced a few freezes, and lag here and there, namely on the threaded text if they go over a certain number.

next big gripe is the touch screen. it is WAY to sensitive. Sometimes when typing i get lag/freeze, and a few random letters appear up on the screen in an instant.

The screen is soo sensitive, i was able to select a function, without even touching the screen, just by literally hovering my finger above the screen. i think heat activates it.

[HD2 General] terrytpot:
perhaps I should have been a bit clearer with my initial post where I said this..

I appreciate a thread can take a life of its own and some of you are now using this one to address "niggles" that you have, however, I was more interested to find out if there were definite confirmed faults (such as the camera's pink tinge) as opposed to,

A) what could be described as "learning curve" difficulties..

B) failing to utilise the tweaks from xda-dev such as roms or cabs..

in hindsight perhaps my choice of thread title wasn't the best I could have picked:o still,looking on the bright side I'm getting briefed on the idiosyncrasies of the HD2 at the same time as I find out about any genuine faults;)
[HD2 General] Cammer48:
Where do I find out how to apply the registry change referred to in 8 please??

See the title...thanks
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
bump...

anyone else had confirmed defects with their hd2 yet?

appart from the poor guy who seems to have crushed his HD2 the only genuine faults I've spotted so far relate to the camera issue a few niggles over screen alignement and some background noise during calls. As far as I can see the majority of problems seem to be software related and not actual defects,unless of course you know different...:cool:
[HD2 General] Cavanti:
I guess the difference on the phones are pretty big.

Cause I have 0 issues.

No pink on the camera, LED notification blinks, SMS are sent and recieved, the volume can be turned down so the sound on calls is fine, etc., etc.

All this right out of the box. Guess I am one of the lucky ones.

email attatchments

Am i being stupid ? A friend sent me an email via hotmail that syncs easily and quickly with my leo. Attatchments download ( they are pictures) and i can open them to view them. But then when i want to save them i cannot see any option too, apart from save screen image. So i do that, then it says saved, but do you think i can find it ? lmao. and i know they are there coz if i try and save them again with same filename it says file already exists. They are not showing in any album, or in 100media folder, and when i do an all album check after saving them again the album count does not go up if you get me ? i have a horrible feeling that i am doing something stupid and someones gonna come on and go ...duuurrrrr. lol

[HD2 General] arturobandini:
- ERROR in the French translation. During a call it says you can slide UP the slider (it should be DOWN of course).:confused:

- Camera: after several days of use, it's definitely a big issue. Most disturbing aspect: I don't have the pink halo all the time. Can a HotFix solve the problem?:(

- Alarm: Snooze function. Can only be set to 5 minutes.:(

- Internal memory: very limited. You need to install some apps on the SD card. The consequence: if you replace you SD card with another one (e.g. I have a second SD card with all my movies) then you lose some apps during the time you're using this second card :(

- Battery drain: I tried everything. Registry tweaks, disable autobacklight and set backlight to 20%... Nothing works. Battery lasts less than one day. Not acceptable :mad:
[HD2 General] JamesHillton:
anyone else having these problems?

I'm having problems with all the connections on my HD2.

WiFi - only has 1 bar and wont connect even when in the same room as the router.

Bluetooth - wont connect to my laptop, and only connects to my BT headphones if its no more than 15cm apart.

Mobile signal - often jumps from full signal to very low even when stationary.
[HD2 General] ThierryD86:
Other error in the french translation:

When you click on an appointment in the calendar, under the dates and hours of beginning and end, you can see "invitation de"...

If nobody in this field, it should appear "Inconnu"

Here, we can read "Unknown"
[HD2 General] BobaFeTT_NL:
TomTom Navigator 7.916 lets itself get pushed to the background while navigating, i.e. when the automatic screenlock kicks in.

I have an Exchange account, perhaps security policy has something to do with it. Disabling the policy doesn't help since policy settings are pushed on a regular basis.

This problem occurred as well on my Polaris, and did not happen with iGo or Route66. So perhaps this isn't a HD2 issue, but nevertheless I'd like to know if there's a fix or something. Perhaps a little app that prevents the lockscreen from activating if TomTom is active?

I have an issue on mine (not sure if it is related to HD2 or Facebook), I cannot see any picture from my friends' albums with the Facebook tab. They never load....
[HD2 General] Issuj:
My biggest problem is that e-mail account is "unstable". First retrieval of mails is OK. After that phone can't connect to e-mail server due to false account details. I figured out that in "passwords" there is extra stuff, even though I have checked the "save password" option. Manually it can't be reconfigured, it always changes it back to false password.

Only solution is to delete whole e-mail account and create a new one. Then I get once again e-mails retrieved, once. And same again. Not very "handy" e-mail solution.
[HD2 General] Edm11nd:
Time stamps for received text messages are from the time set on the sender's phone.

I am only 80% certain about this.

Reason why i say this is because i usually set my clock about 7 mins earlier. And when i get quick replies from friends, their replies usually are displayed above the one i sent to them prior.

Sorry if i am wrong. I never really tested this, it just seemed that way for a long while.

* battery gets emptied unbelievable fast! :( Doesn't even last a whole day!!! That's with 2..3 SMS, no calls, 2 photos and else only sleeping in the pocket and receiving mails from one email account every 30min.

* Wifi won't connect at power up when cellular connection got disabled before turning off (real shutdown) the phone.

* camera is totally useless when using flash as the photos get totally overexposed and white balance is pure horror

* chaos with special reappearing icons in the start menu after moving them to another location. Really annoying.

* did I say battery life is a absolute no-go?!
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
1- SMS Problems, mainly the slow loading of messages but I do also get the occaisional message which gets stuck in the outbox.

2 - Peep, MSN messenger and Core/Myplayer cannot get data via GSM/3G data, only WiFi. Is there are fix out there for this???

3- Crackling speaker (earpiece), even when the volume is low.

4- Slowdowns whenever making changes to contacts, either editing, adding or even setting up a quicklink on the People tab of Sense.

5- Battery life is relatively poor, though I'm trying different combinations of GSM, 3G, HSDPA On/Off, SDCard in/out, Data Service updates on/off and push email on/off. Hoping to work out which are the drains and which aren't. I'll keep a record and post them here when I've got them all, should take a week or two to test all combos and record the battery drain. With all of them switched off and the SD Card removed I see about 1.5% drop per hour on standby.

email problem

If you connect the phone to an imap server with more than 400 messages in the inbox the phone slows down to the point where you have to wait 20 mins for htc sense to start up.

Interestingly if you disable htc sense the email app works fine.

This fault shows up if you turn on download everything ie all messages and attachments.
[HD2 General] fz9999:
I had someone text me a couple of phone numbers today. I assume he sent them as a v-card (from an htc hero) - but the hd2 saw them as mms messages and then refused to download anything :mad:

[HD2 General] novaci:
The battery life on my device has been improving steadily since I first got the phone. At first it'd barely last a single work day, but now I can get through up to three days without a recharge. This isn't because I'm using the phone less, either. Now that I've got all my mail accounts etc. set up to update the way I want them to, I'd say I'm using it even more.

The only issue I've encountered is that music playback starts to skip/stops completely at random if you receive a call while listening to music.

I'm not sure if there's something wrong with CoPilot Live 8, but the touch functions stop working sometimes when I'm using GPS outside. It works just fine inside in room temperature. Touch functions work fine with everything else outside. :O

I'm using the latest official WWE ROM with the latest hotfixes.
[HD2 General] UncleBeer:
The one thing that's really driving me 'round the bend is the fact that the LED notification for new email doesn't work. You'd think this is the sort of obvious glitch that'd be ripe for a hotfix. Hellooooo HTC...

Pictures taken with the the camera show up really weird in the album view. But look normal when opened.

I see statements like this a lot on this forum. Considering that you are the only person I've seen reporting this issue isn't it more likely that you are unlucky rather than the rest of us being lucky?

Just because it's a problem for you doesn't mean that "it does exist" and is something that we all need to be concerned about.
[HD2 General] Archer:
There's 2 people on this forum, and he found 1 post elsewhere on the internet. From another thread, it would appear that you can turn handwriting on in (some?) Asian ROMs, and that can cause the problem.

I agree though, he's unlucky, rather than us being lucky.
