I was in the same situation more or less. Spent days after it and finally I got into something that allows me input but only in portrait mode since it looks like no wvga version is out yet.

My sequence (lol) brought me to have emoji too but still no true joy. The keyboard of FSKAREN in landscape is small and ugly, to say it all, so I was thinking about the "Fingerkeb2.1" + Japanese SKINS of Fingerkeb you mentioned.

I've seen the Finger Keyboard 2,1 thread but no trace of the Japanese skin so far.

Could you please link it here :)?

Thanks in advance,

C.

I got it kinda working, but hiragana won't change to kanji

you must type, then select it and change...

I'll get another device to test soon.

another Q, what are

MsgStore.dll

helpstub.exe

imjp31u.dic

for?

When I made the Jp mod for WM6.0 I didn't need these files and it worked fine. But even then other cabs included them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] speakerphone:
HD2 from HK, running WWE

It overrides wince.nls and thus it is impossible to install Japanese support on it.

I have programs that install Japanese support on WWE WM6.5 and inputs fine no the emulator but on HD2 it just crashes, or after install you still cannot select region settings as Japanese
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BOBBY42:
Does it help?

Hi, I think that the problem is same as mine.

As you know that the wince.nls is always recovered by original ROM when each time of restarting your device. The reloadnls.exe is the program that overwriting nls file after recovered it by original ROM automatically. So you should have this (reloadnls.exe) shortcut file in you Start menu folder to prevent this kind of problem.

If there is no "Japanese" in list of region setting, means your modified wince.nls is not working correctly.

IME (Input Method Editor) crashes:

I am not really sure about the reason for this problem, but it seems be a conflict between Chinese IME and Japanese IME. It occurs on WWE ASIA ROM. If your device has the Chinese input support originally on soft keyboard, it must be a WWE ASIA ROM (I am quite sure that HK version is WWE ASIA ROM).

Can you check your "ROM version" from Start > Setting > About phone > Software information?

This is why I flash ROM with (WWE EU/US 1.48.405.2) on my HD2.

I installed ATOK and FingerKeyb 2.1 with WWE EU/US ROM, I don't have any problem about IME until today.

(You have to change registry - HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\Setting - chenge EnableHtcRichEdit 1 to 0 for solving ATOK conversion problem).

I hope this info helps you.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] speakerphone:
I got Japanese support set now.

Installed IME, but it can't load. So lacking writing, but I got gesture10 that does the kana bit OK...

can you share it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] speakerphone:
as bobby said it's just reloadnls.exe

everything else was the same

Heyy Guys

I've been using 1.15 radio for about 2 months

and have had a lot of battary failire problme, where it just freezes and stalls

Have already tired DOC Flash and Re-Flash of Radio

What should i do?

I have also considered moving basck to the: 1.18 radio

Soz for bad english
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] indrastrid:
as i remember Tomal him self still using radio 115. have you try with clean rom, disable titanium, running only one or two program at the same time? wm 65 eat alot ram, so if you want to keep it you should manage you free memory well. if not ... that will make you uni stop running and need to reset. make much reset can make down battery performance for a bad quality battery.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Simon_WM:
I've tired both 1.15 and 1.18 with Tomal's V12

And i found that 1.18 radio had a better battary consumption.

So i might Change back to 1.18 this weekend
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Win_XP:
For me the best radio is 1.15 too :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Simon_WM:
have u had any problems with ur uni crashing/ freezing / shutting down

all very random
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Win_XP:
No problems at all, I'm now with VnInt's WM6.1 rom and it's perfect :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rajivshahi:
well i like radio 1.18 and used it for quite a long time currently using radio 1.10 and it's allright with my service provider. well didn't had any problem with any radio (1.15, 1.18 and 1.10). May be issue some software and ram isuue...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Simon_WM:
OK,

well then i might try 1.10 then 1.18
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
Also you can try 1.09 which is the original one it came for O2 Exec

It worked great for some time.

In fact try to test them all:D

Good luck,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Simon_WM:
Well, Orb

i might hold you to that over the christmas hols staring with:

1.09 !

Ill try for 3 days each a give a report on each radio.

After loading

Tomals V12 WM6.5

SPB Keyboard V4

HTC Addicts CleanRAM

Windows Market

Windows Live (MSN)

Bing / Google Maps

After that ill give a report on each radio

OF Battary level, Speed, ect ect
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nndzry:
I think radio 1.17 is better.
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
I have just flashed to 1.48 WWE and re-installed the cab that moves the slider to the bottom of the screen. Problem is now I have no slider/lock screen at all.

Just wondering if somebody could help me get it back

Thanks
[HD2 General] panart:
There are many threads about this. Please use the "Search this forum" next time.

Anyway read this thread.
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
I'm so sorry for not using the search function - I should have my bottom summarily smacked.

Not to mention that the search function doesn't work as all vBulletin search functions are flawed of course.
[HD2 General] kul20:
I am quite new to this website and have been trying to read as much as i can about the forum. I recently purchased the HTC HD2 from Vodafone UK at the beggining of the month, i have had the phone for two weeks and love it!

After reading about the release of the new 1.48 ROM i went onto the HTC UK wesbite and tried to download the released ROM onto my computer, however after entering my phone serial number and clicking submit it says:

'Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device'

Can anybody help me with this my current ROM is: 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE

I don't quite understand why it does not let me download the new ROM.

Thankyou.
[HD2 General] kul20:
Please delete this thread i have found the problem. Sorry for the thread, did not do my research fully before creating it! :-)
[HD2 General] Graf Zeppelin:
Guys,

I just sent my HD2 (1.48 GER unbranded) back to Amazon for full credit.

By today I had nine cases open at HTC support:

Blutotth SAP

: phone does not find mast after disconnecting from car

SMS

: app crashes, SMS remain in outbox forever

Music

: volume rocker erratic behavior (changes to track skip)

Bluetooth

: headset looses connection after certain time

Weather App

: sometimes not updating location based weather

Email

: HD2 sometimes looses all mail server address entries. All emails in inbox get lost simultaneously

Facebook app

: certain information not being displayed

Telephone

: volume adjustment with BT headset next to impossible (turned fully up all the time)

SMS app

: mobile and fixed line No's are displayed with the same icon, so you never know whether its a mobile or fixed line phone you send your message to (if it gets send.........)

Plus:

Wired headset with Music Controls: renders next to useless without volume control buttons.

The majority of all the bugs always existed at the same time, so one app crashing influenced the others (volume rocker, SMS, weather, bluetooth), Needless to say that not one of the bugs was cured by the latest ROM update. I sometimes wonder whether HTC is doing any SQA at all.

I am a businessman who travels world wide. I need a reliable phone, it is mission critical. The HD2 is a million miles away from being that.

I am a HTC beta tester since 2001 and I cannot recall how many month of my precious lifetime I have spent on making HTC units work.

I had enough. Period.

Sorry, but it had to shot this out loudly.

GZ
[HD2 General] Chainfire:
So, what are you moving to?
[HD2 General] Xeon:
You forgot to mention the most annoying thing on earth with HD2, THE NOISY VOICE CALLS !!
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
Fair play mate!
[HD2 General] maati:
And you think that gets better with another company? Definitely not.

RIM's CEO had to apologize foll all the bugs of the Storm.

Nokia's N97 has recieved bad reviews for all its software issues.

Sony Ericsson's Satio had to be pulled from the market because of huge issues.

Apple's iPhone has litte bugs but also little features

...and so on...

The only way to have less issues is to also have less features.

I guess you don't want that, as you are asking for advanced features like the Bluetooth stuff or location based weather, which are features that other phones don't even have in the first place.

You can't ask for a phone that has every feature and at the same time not accept any bugs. There is no phone like that, unfortunately.

(Sure I wish there was, but there isn't)

So what's better? Having to tweak a bit in order to get some features to work, or not having those features at all?

You decide.
[HD2 General] spastik:
If you are not satisfied, try another brand like toshiba or acer.

And if you are a "HTC beta tester", you should know it better.
[HD2 General] maati:
Ah, the Toshiba TG01... another great example for my list. :D
[HD2 General] karlpj:
HD2 is a multimedia device and not a proffesional phone. You won't have any of therse problems in HTC Touch Pro 2 that is designed specifically to be a proffesional phone more reliable and less flashy: keyboard, bigger battery, less bugs etc. It has smaller screen, heavier, less megapixels etc but it is a business model, HD2 is not. I need to point also that iphone is not also a bussiness phone (you can not change battery etc) and Apple accpet that. Simply choose a bussness phone if you need it for bussines, not a expensive gadget as it is in this moment HD2.
[HD2 General] _tangent:
I find it extremely strange that some users are reporting the phone running stock roms as buggy to the point of being unusable, whereas for others (myself included) it's been utterly bug free. You can understand a wide variety of different bugs surfacing when you deploy desktop applications, because hardware and software combinations are almost limitless, but here that's not the case. Identical software running on an identical software/hardware platform should produce identical results.

I think others are right to say there is no such thing as a perfect device. It's about finding one which makes compromises you can live with.
[HD2 General] lude219:
I was fine until i read the part that you're a "beta tester." (notice the use of quotations?)

I laughed and proceeded to ignored your post entirely.
[HD2 General] suicidal.banana:
i experienced some of those problems, but already found fixes for most and for others their in development, like maati says, theres no 100% bug-free phone nowadays, heck, even the 3310 was bugged in some areas, and that was before all the 'hsdpa' 'gps' 'bluetooth' 'multitouch' '1ghz' stuff came along
[HD2 General] Bluecharge:
"Having to tweak a bit" ??? Dude, it´s one thing to "tweak a bit" and another to get this phone to do what it is supposed to!

Paying 600 Euro for a device plus doing the work that HTC´s developer are not able to do, for me it´s just not acceptable.

If everybody feels alright with that, HTC will keep on capitalizing customer until they encounter resistance.

On my job I have to do my work to get my earnings. Thats what I expect from others.
[HD2 General] maati:
This is not HTC specific.

There is just no perfect phone. No matter how much you pay, you won't get anything that's perfect.

I gave you some examples of other phones that have/had huge issues as well, despite being very expensive.

Sure, the HD2 has some issues. But you must not forget that other phones are not better. Not one bit.

True, entirely.

Unfortunately, some people don't get that. If all people realized that truth, threads like this would not exist.

We have to accept the fact that there is no perfect phone and just buy the device that requires the least compromises. This is a personal thing. I, for example, will probably never buy an iPhone again, becasue that thing annoyed me with all its flaws. Sure, it was pretty much bug free, but the lack of critical features was inacceptable.

Did I go to an iPhone forum and shout against Apple and tell everybody that I sold my iPhone? No. Because I am smart enough to realize that there is no perfect phone and I must just buy whatever works best for me. Going to an iPhone forum in order to tell everyone how much I hated the device would not have helped anyone, and creating such threads is not good behaviour anyways.
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
During the past couple of years, I used several so called "smart phones", from all the "big" manufacturers (Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG) - and HTC HD2 is my first HTC product.

So far, out of the box, it was - and is - the best, compared to all the others I had. The less "tweaking", the less issues, I think. I did not have any big issues, but some small flaws. With the ROM update, quite some improvement. I think 2 or 3 ROM versions later, the device will be better than any comparable device on the market.

If a mobile phone is crucial for a business person, I think the phone should not do much more than calls and texts - to be on the safe side. As of today, maybe a Blackberry or a Palm product might meet the business needs best.
[HD2 General] Holy Bear:
Damn, but that line is getting old.

No bugs here, and I got one of the first batch.

But don't let me interrupt the villification of the Great Satan HTC.

Being upset about your handset not working properly? Understandable.

Marking HTC as the worst thing since the antichrist? Yeah, it's been done. To death, revived and back to death again.

They updated the ROM and brought out a fix for the camera. Horrible!
[HD2 General] maati:
It's getting old but it's still as stupid as it was in the beginning. HTC is not evil, they're just a phone maker like all the others, and naturally, their phones have flaws, like all the others.

In fact, compared to others, if you look at the "features*advantages/flaws" ratio, HTC would probably come out on top.

That's what I'm saying: No phone is perfect. They all have their flaws and everyone should choose what works best for him.

HTC is not worse than anyone else in the industry. In fact, with the HD2, they may even be the best, currently.
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
ugh another one of these threads. These issues have been mentioned a million times in as many seperate threads. There isn't much point in opening a new thread again. Least of all if you don't own the phone or just on here to complain,there isn't a lot anyone on the forum can do to help you with if you don't own one. I understand the frustration though but it should be directed to HTC.

In any case if you are looking for a good business phone from HTC I suggest the HTC Rhodium. Another one of my favorites and with a physical keyboard.
[HD2 General] maati:
Exactly. That thread doesn't help anyone, and it's redundant.
[HD2 General] Bluecharge:
Then why do you fill it with so many postings?

Also, you did not get the point.

Its one thing to make a decision against a device, that simply does not provide the desired features, as you did with the iphone. Why did you not read its specs??? You just should have known before buying.

And, its another thing to buy a device with many features promised, but then finding many annoying bugs. Thats what I wrote about, ok?
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
I totally appreciate what the OP is saying about feeling like a "beta tester".

HTC are guilty of putting out stuff with some glaringly obvious bugs but dare I say, so does every other manufacturer out there.

The OP is simply expressing his dismay that once again he as a paying customer is receiving a product that needs further testing and development by the manufactuer!!

Still, it probably wont stop me from buying an HD2 soon...
[HD2 General] NZtechfreak:
Weird, I have none of those problems with mine...
[HD2 General] harolds:
Personally I do not have any of these problems.
[HD2 General] KapaGT:
It's my first WM device, also my first touch screen phone and dude! AM I LOVING IT??!! HELL YAH!

Not one problem yet.. Moved from a Nokia N95 to a HD2 and the only I can see is that I was working with a rudimentar tool compared to the HD2!

Good call sound, no weather bugs, lots and lots of SMS's not even one got stuck, and that happend in the Nokia :|

All emails in my IMAP account are there for me to touch and browse like there is no tomorrow! :D

I had a iphone for about 8 hours, I went and returned it, and keept my N95.. has more features, only lacks the touch thingy.

If it doesnt work for you, just sell it to us for a fair price.. :D
[HD2 General] thehawkCB:
May I ask a simple question.

Are these problems easily fixed by the HTC team? I'm still new to the device and at the moment I only encountered the volume up/down problem when receiving calls. It can be annoying of course.
[HD2 General] weareborg:
Sorry. bull****. It runs winmo. The OS comes from a business background. Period.

So, from your rationale, business phones work, and multimedia ones don't?

Come on, don't waste any more bandwidth.

The HD2 is flawed.

People are complaining.

HTC need to get some fixes in and stop relying on dev's here to patch it back to "normal".

1.48 improved a lot of my issues, so we are back into an uneasy relationship. But out of the box, it was a complete mess.

I'm happy for those who have no issues. I wish we could ALL have your phones, and evidently, your luck!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Hi.

I'm curious - could you tell us what issues the 1.48 ROM resolved for you? I expected there to be many fixes in it, but this is a copy & paste from the HTC support page for the 1.48 ROM...

I wondered if there was more the the update than that, and you've obviously got some answers. I'd be grateful if you could share that info with us.

Thanks :)
[HD2 General] maati:
@Bluecharge

No, you're completely wrong. First of all, nobody tells you to buy a device immediately when it comes out, history has shown that almost nothing is bug-free from the beginning. Things like the SMS bug will be solved soon, but if you buy a device immediately, you have to accept that there may be such bugs - other manufacturers are no different than HTC in this regard.

Secondly, I got your point, which is nonsense. However, you didn't get mine, which was that despite being pretty much bug free, the iPhone sucks as well, even more so than any HTC device. People complain about small issues with the HD2, but they completely miss the fact that they also get HUGE advantages over other devices, e.g. the iPhone.

The smartest users are those who understand that there is no perfect device. Those people choose what works best for them and they don't complain all the time, because they know that no matter how much you spend, you can't get anything that's free of compromises.

HTC is not worse than any other company in that respect. In fact, as I said, when you look at the advantages*features vs. flaws ratio, they probably come out on top.

The HTC HD2 actually requires to make very little compromises, compared to huge disadvantages of other phones.

Moreover, the issues stated in the OP are well-known and most people don't have them anyways.

So what is this thread good for? Nothing.

It's a stupid rant which completely misses the fact that other phone makers are not better at all, and which completely misses the fact that people are different and there is no phone to please them all.

His complaints don't help anyone, they're just spam in the forum - which is unfortunate, because there are so many helpful, constructive threads (they may contain complaints as well, but they try to help, get answers, fixes etc., which is totally different from the useless kind of thread we have here).
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Many manufacturers, if not all, as you rightly say make handsets which contain bugs. However, in the 'league table' of bugs call problems and SMS problems are *serious*. I have never had a Nokia, Sony Ericsson or Samsung phone which has had problems with call volume, calls distortion or SMS bugs.

Here you go again though Maati, anyone criticising the HD2 is a 'troll' and any thread which lays criticism at the feet of the HD2 is 'spam'. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] MicTh:
hmm.. I just sent the second HD2 back to the reseller because it was hardware flawed. So far I have payed the money but have not seen a working phone in almost 1½ month...

I´m also glad for all off you who have a flawless HD2, but why are you so angry at everybody who expresses sadness for recieving a f...ing useless phone (twise in my case) :(

I don´t care what your saying about all other brands, this is just not ok in my case.

Even if my number 3 HD2 is flawless in regards to the hardware (which i don´t even dare hooping anymore) i still must say that i think it is more than just "bad luck" recieving 2 useless phones in a month :mad:
[HD2 General] maati:
You are a troll, sunking. I didn't call anyone else here troll and it was not me who said that the thread was useless - I only confirmed it.

But yeah, here you go again, twisting my words, you lying troll.

Then you were lucky with the Nokias and unlucky with the HTC.

Truth is, other phones in general don't have less bugs and they don't have less serious ones.

You were lucky with the Nokias, tictac0566 was more lucky with his HTC, which goes completely in line with my point that all manufacturers are the same.

Here you have it:

Exactly what I'm saying.

Smart people realize that no phone is perfect before thay start complaining about ONE manufacturer, because they know the same could have happened to them with another.

Obviously, that does NOT mean that one should not complain at all! It only means that rants like this against HTC, which totally miss the fact that other manufacturers are the same, are useless and not at all constructive.

You are not so smart, obviously.

But that doesn't come as a surprise, after all, you've proven more than a hundred times that you are a stupid troll who's only spammimg the forum (anybody who doesn't belive me: Just look at sunking101's posting history).
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Dear maati and sunking 101, please stop this crazy war against each other. Reply after reply, it's nothing else than catching each other virtual flies. It serves no purpose at all and it's starting to get annoying.

regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
Totally agree with that Sunking.

I personally love my HD2 and have little problem with it. I am however a fairly atypical mobile phone user however. I could probably do without a phone altogether - I am just a gadget lover and like playing with and tweaking gadgets. If however I was a 'serious' phone user I would be pretty annoyed if I had all the bugs and faults with a phone.

The argument that it is ok if phones dont work properly if bought early in the phones development cycle is utter,utter rubbish - when people have paid a lot of money for a device that purports to perform x,y and z functions then the device should perform those functions without compromise. It is

NOT

ok if the device falls short of performing these functions, and moreover people are well within their right to shout about it.
