[HD2 General] moneytoo:
Hi there,

I'm thinking of buying HD2 but I'm a bit worried about how deep the HTC Sense/TouchFlo goes.

1. Today screen - since Sense is just a Today plugin it can be turned off, but

2. How about the non-skinned, standard Messaging/Contacts/Calendar application? Are they in the ROM? Are the HTC modifications just some addon or they completely changed the standard ones (like tmail.exe). Is the standard interface of these apps in any way accessible?
[HD2 General] Petulinek:
U can use classic Windows look - install plugins on desktop, use standard mail etc... Its implemented in WM, sense is only system upgrade... In Menu is folder Outlook with shortcuts to classic mail,calendar...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jib_intelli:
Okay, I have spent the past 2 months evaluating user feedback about the various wonderful and sekcy ROMs the wonderful chefs here have cooked for us - but being a n00b in this field I am totally CONFUSED!

I need help from you guys to suggest a custom ROM which should have the following features:

WM 6.5

MaxManila 2.6

X2: Dialer, Panel Manager etc. etc.

Facebook App

Should be stable, speedy and bug-free

ActiveSync should work

Can anyone suggest which ROMs to try out?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannigan174:
If you are a noob I would probably recommend you stay away from 6.5 builds and manila 2.5 type ROMS.

They are still pretty buggy and error prone. I have recently tried some, Untamed (manila 2.1) and EnergyROM( both manila 2.1 and 2.5 versions), but have reverted back to TouchX 10.1 because it is fast, stable, and compatible with X2 add-ons (except Myriad Java didn't seem to play nice).

If you want to give them a shot I think EnergyROM is the flashiest, and if you get the LEO version with the 28XXX core it will look fabulous. I flashed my girlfriends HTC Pure with EnergyROM and she likes it a lot, but it is much more stable on HTC Pure than on Xperia.

I'll say, though, that if functionality is more important than looks, get TouchX (or one of it's variants, there is an X2 one available). It is WM 6.1 (which is admittedly a little ugly) and it is not going to be 2.5, but that means it will work well in landscape, and be super-stable.

BTW, ActiveSync always works. And facebook app works on everything, just install it.

Hope this helps.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jib_intelli:
Thanks Hannigan! I think I'll have to do quite a few experiments before I get the ROM I like. I'll try out both EnergyROM and TouchX versions and finally stick with the one I like. :)
[HD2 General] lelinolino:
like in the title, why the windows folder loading in file explorer is very slow than in resco explorer is immediately? (windows folder of internal memory and not of storage card)
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
It just does...that's (one of the reasons) why many people use Resco in preference
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
Yep, the embeded file explorer tends to lag when it comes to large folders.
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
My Windows folder loads in 1 second.
[HD2 General] Studebaker72:
May I ask how you convinced the Windows Explorer to do it that quickly?
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
Sweet talk...

No tweaks applied though.
[HD2 General] Studebaker72:
Strange, my HD2 takes ages to open the Windows folder (almost one minute). As somebody already mentioned, Resco does it in a few seconds.
[HD2 General] whitelotus06:
widows explorer takes only a second to load
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Chaps,

The speed at which explorer loads the files depends on how many applications you have installed and how old your installation is. The older the installation the more dirty and polluted it is, slowing down explorer.

If you hard reset and then immediately load up explorer you will find that it will fly. Start loading up apps and using it on a daily basis and speed of access rapidly deteriorates.

Hope this helps.

WB

PS: Oh, and if the installation is dirty and you have stacks of apps open in memory when you open explorer then that just makes things a whole lot worse.....
[HD2 General] levi3man:
i dare you to go to that same windows folder and select sort by size, see how long that takes you.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Try loading the files by type and tell me if you finish in less than 2 mins :)
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
That's something else :)
[HD2 General] Pandor:
In short, don't sort. Set the sort key to its standard and loading goes faster.
[HD2 General] WarMasterd:
To make the windows folder open in a second, just....

1) get the folder to open

2) then change the sort to "name"

Next time you go to the windows folder it will load in a second!

Problem

---------------

When I go into contacts, pick any contact, then attempt to call the contact I get the "android.process.acore" failed message, and it kicks me right back out to my contacts. I have even tried to manually dial the number with no luck. I still get incoming calls, SMS/MMS, get e-mails, etc. Only thing that seems to be broken is the actual process that makes the call. Any help would greatly, greatly be appreciated.

Steps tried

---------------

- Reboot

- Remove batt and sim card

- fix_permissions

- Uninstalled all new apps that have been added in the past 3 days

- Reinstalled contacts.apk

Stats

---------------

G1

Rooted, running CyanogenMod 4.2.8.1

Apps2SD
[G1 General] atxtech:
Tried everything (even reinstalling CM 4.2.8.1). In the end had to wind up wiping and installing HTC 1.6ADP recovery image and then CM image on top of that. Good news is that because I had Aps2SD installed and working before the crash that when I did the wipe and reload, all my apps were still installed and working! Sweet. :D
[G1 General] King0fShadows:
Same problem. Wouldnt make any calls. Reinstalled contacts and all that. I just loaded Recovery in the end and did a factory wipe. Works perfect now..

Weird:rolleyes:

For whatever reason, my plantronics voyager pro disconnects while i'm in the middle of a phone call. it doesn't happen all the time, just randomly. As soon as I notice that it's no longer working, i look at my phone and it still has the headset icon active. I hear the disconnect beep in my headset, and when i try to turn hands free off, it won't turn off

I end up having to hang up, and call back the person. Not very professional when doing business, i'm considering going back to my old voyager headset. Any feedback or possible fixes? :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] yeskarteek:
The suggestion what i give is bit irritating but wll be better than now, Never connect your bluetooth automatically, Once u disconnect and reconnect your BT just remove them from your pairing device and re-pair. Now u wont get Disconnected wth ur BT but if u connect ur BT automatically then the problem continues

Any news on a new TCPMP + FlashVideoBundle? I used to love it because you were able to view YouTube as if you were on a computer and then see the videos and download them as well. I hope some developer can make another build to make it work with the new YouTube format.

I recently gave my htc touch hd for LCD Glass replacement. Before that the LCD was working fine. After replacing the Glass the display din't work and the repair guy there is some problem with the LCD and I have to change it too. But after few days he said its working but the display is dull. Today I got my phone back and there are colored lines on the display. Everything is working fine just these light colored lines all over the display from the time i switch it on. I even hard reseted the phone. I din't send it to a authorised service centre. Can anybody tell me how to solve this. I would really appreciate it. Thank you:)
[Touch HD General] berbecverde:
Not sure if it is going to help you but i will tell you anyway.

I have a Asus Laptop with vertical(you did not specify what kind of lines are) color lines on the lcd.On the forum s i read that this is an LCD failure(DEAD).

Since both are LCDs i think it could be the same problem.:(

Hi all,I am a new member here but I have been reading these forums for a few weeks now.

I want to replace my Nokia N73 with a HD2 or an iPhone 3GS.I am trying to decide which one would be better for me,but I can't.Firstly let me say that I never had a smartphone before,so I don't have any experience with WinMo but I have used an iPhone 2G a couple of times(for a few minutes,so don't know much about it's OS).

The past weeks I have read many reviews and watched several videos of these 2 phones.One thing that bothers me is all these people who claim that WinMo is a bad OS.On the other hand,everyone is saying how great iPhone's OS is.Almost everyone has an iPhone these days and I don't like that at all.I kinda prefer to get the HD2,as it has better hardware and it's newer,but I'm skeptical about it's OS,it's numerous bugs,features and screen response compared to the iPhone.

I want from my phone to do everything.Browsing,music,GPS,apps etc etc.I would like to hear some thoughts,especially from people who have used both phones.I apologize for the long post.Thanks in advance.

[General Topics] younxta:
I've had the HD2 for a couple days and must say it's a good phone and has better specs, but doesnt come near the Iphone 3GS. WinMo just sucks and is always been buggy, Iphone OS is much faster, smoother and user friendly. For browsing, music, apps (there are tons of apps for the Iphone) i would definitely choose the Iphone.
[General Topics] N.Creep:

You can do more with windows mobile ..

These are my main concerns about the HD2;

1.outgoing sms bug

2.alarm bug (I can't believe that on such an expensive device the alarm is not working properly)

3.Screen.It looks responsive on the review vids,but is it as good as it is on the iPhone?

4.Buggy OS(according to a lot of people)

5.Ugly and not touch friendly Windows interface

6.size

7.Less apps(most of the are not free too).

8.Battery life

I believe that most of these issues can be fixed by the devs here,so I really want to give the HD2 a try,but I am not 100% sure yet..
[General Topics] andes83:
Go for the HD2 if you don't mind that it is a huge phone but of course the + is that it has a HUGE screen that displays better than the Iphone all of the imperfections will be dealt with here in xda in time .And another thing the bugs can be removed but the screen of the Iphone will stay small (of course if you like smaller devices it's the opposite for you) but believe me when when you start browsing the internet or etc. you gonna wish you've gone for the bigger screen and yes the 1ghz processor is not just for show and don't worry about the apps i haven's seen so much Iphone programs that don't have an equivalent in WM (I'm speaking of course about the important ones).I was in your position 7 months ago when I was doubting if I should go for the Iphone or the Touch HD and to this day I'm sure I made the right choice with my HD despite the bugs and the headaches that it gives me :)

[General Topics] pistonripper:
The HD2 is a beast of a machine...but the os is a big let down..I have a Topaz running Sense 2.5 and a 3GS.

What HTC have done to WM 6.5 is amazing... otherwise if you have to interact with 6.5 then your back years compared to the 3GS OS,

Basically the iphone does most things well, and the App Store is what really sells it, everything runs smooth and beautiful. Games look amazing (i.e New Avatar game), a lot of really useful apps....after using the iphone you dont really want to go back to windows....

The HD2, of what little I have used, is too sophisticated for the crap OS that comes on it...barring HTCs Sense. The phone is light years ahead of its OS, and what the phone really shows is how slow Microsoft development has been compared to hardware.

I reminds you of the days when a new piece of software use to come and you had to beef your hardware up....but only opposite,

Hats off to HTC , a big up yours to Microsoft for not pulling thier finger out....(and we know they can, just compare Bing on WM to the one on the iphone)

HD2, the most advanced, gorgeous phone available, and I'm sure it will stand the test of time much longer than any other phone....I'm sure it will run WM7 like trooper...if it ever comes out.

I would go for the HD2... the 3GS is a good phone ...(Jailbroken of course...then watch it multitask)

Love HTC (only thing ....they just keep ****ing up on the drivers)....hate WM6.5

Where are all of you iPhone lovers coming from? and why are you here?

This is an HTC-based device forum. I don't go on iPhone forums to comment. Seriously, I don't understand. Not that you don't have every right to like it, but perhaps if you like iPhone so much better you shouldn't be on a WinMo/Android forum. Instead, maybe you should get an iPhone and go to iPhone forums.

[General Topics] goldsfool:
I can't even believe I'm reading what I'm reading. How can you even compare the iphone 3g to the HD 2? You can't even compare the iphone to the HD much less the HD 2. The only factor I can think of that needs consideration is price...but if that's not a factor than obviously get the HD 2.

Good luck.
[General Topics] Zoltair Wright:
I think everyone here loves their HTC devices, myself included, but it's sort of a love/hate relationship... WinMo is a terrible OS and no matter how much HTC paints over it with TouchFlo, you're going to have to admit at some point that even 6.5 is lightyears behind Android, WebOS, or the iPhone OS. The HD2 may be the best WinMo phone ever made but it's still a WinMo phone.

At the end of the day, I'd recommend the iPhone 3GS if you're buying right now. But for my money I'd wait until the tablet version of the Droid comes out. It's got the same specs, minus the keyboard, plus a better camera.
[General Topics] dhiral.v:
HD2 all the way. I have played around with the iphone 3gs and it is a good phone however the only thing good about the iphone is the app store. The HD2 has so much support on XDA :D, you can't say the same about the iphone. The HD2 I admit comes with it's bugs but they will all be sorted and the iphone comes with it's bugs.

Why are there so many people that love the iphone so much over here? :confused:

I've noticed that when the device makes a connection to a 3G/Edge/.. network to get an update it just leaves the connection open.

In itself it doenst really matter since you only pay a charge for traffic and not just an open connection.

However I was wondering what the downside could be?

enormous power drain perhaps?

By the way, how can the LEDs under the keyboard be blue on the pic above?

(Mine is red.)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
Yes you can flash in vista and to sync you use windows mobile device center instead activesync, but for new members is always more easy to flash the 1st time on XP machine.

The blue light on the keyboard can be changed (at least not that I know)

That is something related to the Universal model you have.
