Having been a long time reader and following the rise and birth of the HD2, I'm just about to order one till I saw the Alarm issue :eek: .

I have 4 basic needs:

Alarm

Bluetooth Voice recognition

Texting

and good call quality

I need it to wake me as an alarm is basic and should over ride silent mode and go for more than 2 beeps :eek:.

Bluetooth hands free, I need this to work as I need it while driving. How easy is it to get working with Nokia BT headset, and can it work like the n95 with auto voice recognition? Heard you can install MirosoftVoice thingy, but where from? :confused:

I have read a lot of problems about Texts. Presume this will be sorted shortly.

Good call quality, self explanatory, so don't like the sound of blastingly loud crackling volume.:rolleyes:

I use a pc for emails as mailwasher filters out all the sp*nk mail so I don't intend to use it for emails.

Am I going to get the right phone? I love the look of the HD2, nearly bought the HD.

Liked the iphones that I played with but hated the handcuffed options and itunes. Shame that every gadget or accessory in shops is geared towards iphone.

Need some help.

Cheers,

Steve
[HD2 General] cobnut:
Will that be a "No can't do the basics" then?
[HD2 General] maati:
Alarm: Built in alarm is fairly basic, it does override silent mode and you can set 3 alarm times with days and the sound. Snooze mode is also included. If you need more, there are great applications like G-Alarm.

Bluetooth: I can pair it with my Bluetooth headset, it's simple and works just like it's supposed to. I don't know how to map a key of the headset to MS Voice Command but I'm pretty sure that this can be done.

Texting: Some people had problems, but disabling HTC Messaging is a simple fix that silves the problems. I've not had any problem with texting yet.

Call Quality: It's pretty good, IMHO. Not the best among all phones, but very good for a smartphone, better than most other smartphones.
[HD2 General] Highl1:
1. Alarm works quite well for me, but I have a very light sleep, and almost every sound wakes me up. The only thing about HD2 that didn't wake me up was the battery notification (that it is under 10%)

3.. Texting - quite satisfied, only twice (I have the device for 3 full weeks now) I noticed the sms bug (sms not being sent from outbox), but soft reset solved those things. On my HD2 (with 1.43 WWE East Europe stock ROM) it appeared only when weather didn't want to update, so I kinda knew when it was appearing.

4. Call quality is very good, much better than on my old Nokia 8600 Luna

Hi!

I know there are many people thinking the same than me. I have a TouchWiz based phone (Samsung GT-S5600 Preston). It looks nice, has some nice features but you can't get any of those great applications that are available for Android, WM or even iPhone - like a car navigation software etc.

So is there a way to replace TouchWiz and install Android on it?

I mean Samsung has already one Android phone (I7500), I can't imagine that the hardware components are so much different to the S5600/Preston or other newer Samsung phones.

Has anyone experience with this?

Thanks
[General Topics] r0nald:
Hi, we have the same problem.. hope that some one will port the android to preston 5600..
[General Topics] frmariam:
I'm assuming you want the Android interface and not Android OS itself (which isn't availlable and most doubtfully will ever be available for your phones). But even that isn't possible (at least that I know of)... While there are today plugins with those features for WinMo your're stuck on a Symbian phone...
[General Topics] mobius112:
it is not a symbian phone, and the specs are, in my opinion, enough for the phone to support an alternative OS (not just an interface) such as android donut or probably WinMo 6.1.

By the way, I was in the same situation looking for another OS for this phone
[HD2 General] yanto1826:
Hi all...

Does anyone here experience the same thing as me ?

Take picture with Camera, review with HTC Sense via Albums, notice that the colour of the pic distorted in the album page but not when full mode picture preview...

Any known solution to this ??

Appreciate if someone could help..

Regards

Yanto
[HD2 General] padlad:
Its a known bug, its the same with my HD2. I have read reports its been fixed on the latest rom but cannot confirm, there is another thread about this issue somewhere.
[HD2 General] yanto1826:
Hi ... Thank you for your reply ...

At least now i know, its not just my phone ..

Well, guess the only way is to wait for a bug fixed by HTC..

Come on! HTC!:mad:

Not a bad price either!
[G1 Accessories] ohgood:
for $35 (total with shipping) you could get a 4Gb class 6 card, a new car charger, a splitter for earphone/charge/3mm, a few screen protectors, AND 2-3 of the $.99 HTC microusb to 3.5mm cords...

no, i haven't tried it, but i'll bet if/when it fails won't be long. didn't see a link for reviews from previous buyers. maybe check amazon for reviews ?

Hi !

I have a problem with my BT Headset (Sonyericson HBH-IS800) and the HD2.

I can adjust the volume when in a call, but in HTC musicplayer or Windowsplayer it does not matter what volume i set. it is always same (wery loud)

The headset is connected as "Handsfree" and "Stereo headset"

My rom version is 1.43.413.2 (70124) SVE

Radio: 2.04.50.22_2

[General Questions and Answers] stupiddiamond:
After giving up with a Motorola Razr V3a, I bought an HTC Diamond; I want to have, on a call, the caller id information go to my laptop, where I have another program to listen for it, and pull up a client record in ACT! 2009. Should be simple, except it doesn't seem there's any way of getting a cellphone to behave.

So, with the HTC Diamond, how can I get it to actually look like a usb modem for Windows XP SP3? I've been scouring the 'net for the majority of a day just looking for this; is it really that hard? What am I missing? Again, I don't want to get on the internet (internet sharing), I simply want a nice COM port that will accept AT commands.

(using ##DIAG let XP have HTC USB Modem, but attempting to query the port, or use hyperterm to talk fails)

Any help very much appreciated!

Edit: OR, is there any software that communicates over the USB cable that can be notified when a call is coming in, perhaps by Microsoft's Radio Link Layer SDK?
[Android Themes] Cost2betheBoss:
ATTENTION! There is an increasing trend of people posting "upcoming" themes. Please do not post upcoming themes or themes that are not done. It is polluting the thread. Only post themes that are COMPLETE.

Thank you
[Android Themes] david1171:
i agree and disagree with you and i will list my reasons for each

i agree because it gets peoples hopes up, it gives a larger then life feel to a theme, it leads to "flame wars" between people.

also though, from the themers perspective, it gives an insight at whether or not they should pursue their idea to fruition, or just drop for something else, it does promote the community helping to design it, what people like and dislike, what they would like to see before the themer makes the images and realizes that something else would have been better.

really in the end, it can go either way, but when deciding to make an "upcoming theme" thread, i think the themer should be willing to at least give out a beta version as a temporary hold off or have the theme fairly close to being in the release stages.

like personally, i jump around on projects very often, so if i made a concept thread, i could not touch the theme itself for a week, so i would hold off on a thread until i was ready to release it, but i know people like AGx-07_162 (i mention you a. i really like your work and b. you are a recent example) are usually good about releasing their work soon after the thread is made.

just my thoughts on the subject. i tried to give an unbiased view of both sides of it.
[Android Themes] opasha:
well said ;).
[Android Themes] joshuas_79:
I agree....
[Android Themes] sockpuppet4:
As long as the title of the thread states [upcoming theme], what difference does it make? A couple of sneak peek pics of a soon to be released theme, or even a concept that fell out of someones head isn't a bad idea. It gives the user something to look forward to. AND, if the original themer doesn't get around to finishing something, perhaps someone else could pick up where they left off and get the theme running.

No one is forcing you to read the thread. If it says [upcoming theme] in the title, skip it. While your forum name may be cost to be the boss, you aren't. When you start paying the bills to keep this forum open and paying for the bandwidth to support the number of users it carries, then, and only then, can you think you can make rules. Not a week after joining and making 39 posts.
[Android Themes] AGx-07_162:
I'll agree with you to a point. I hate the "upcoming theme" idea for the same reason I hate when producers release movie commercials 3-6 months in advance. Its not done for feedback, its done for publicity. This is not general as I cannot speak for the themers, its just the way I see it.

However the above poster makes very good points. It can be good for feedback if that's what the themer is after and not just to stir a buzz.
[Android Themes] Cost2betheBoss:
I guess it can be good for feedback to see what people like. So that is one plus
[Android Themes] schtuka:
Precisely. Taste is an individual thing. I am glad that there are previews. Once I see what is cooking I have a choice of not visiting this page again or follow it till it is done. Plus, you need creativity on this forum and creativity needs a constant window.

Besides, I can make a no-no thread about ppl making half page signature. takes a while to scroll, not everyone enjoys your in-ur-face sense of humor and it makes threads twice in page count. But I won't.
[Android Themes] _Kyros_:
I think the best way to avoid all these issues is... Any Dev. that is working on an upcoming theme and would like to share it with the community should take these steps, first contact a Mod before posting anything and let that Mod know that you have an upcoming theme and you would like to post screen-shots with a description of your theme and most importantly if the Mod could be so gracious and lock the thread (temporarily until theme is ready to install) immediately after you post, that way the thread doesn't get cluttered with nonsense, everyone has a glimpse as to what is coming soon and finally if anyone has any feedback or suggestions then we can PM the Dev. here or anywhere the Dev. pleases.

P.S. Obviously if your theme is ready to install and doesn't need a preview then there is no need for these steps...post away.
[Android Themes] bittermormon:
Whwn you're a mod then you can decide whats a "no-no"

Large stupid signatures should be a "no-no" too
[Android Themes] anddep:
as long as the thread say upcoming and has preview, thats good.. otherwise Mods will do something about it.

dude that was unnecessary..
[Android Themes] Cost2betheBoss:
And I can make a thread about "smart ass people" making smart ass comments. Did I offend you in anyway?, no I agreed with you. So grow up

[Android Themes] phantomzer0:
I don't really agree that preview threads should be outlawed. It get's people excited about themes, that's a good thing.

And I don't mean to jump on the bandwagon, but it is kind of an unwritten rule to not have a gargantuan sig pic on a forum, unless you are a noob of course. Usually a 200x120px banner is more than sufficient.
[Android Themes] docsparks:
So wait a minute.. caused i just searched 11 pages to find how many times 'upcoming theme' came up. Twice? Twice??

Really?

You made a whole deal over this 'upcoming' theme stuff?

You kids (and i do mean, KIDS) on XDA must learn some manners,

etiquette and get a good swift boot to the ass.

Devs, and Theme makers, from one honest hard worker to another, please keep up the good work.
[Android Themes] htcclay:
As in my post I really have never considered making a theme to share.

After being asked to share...I figured I should ask "what people wanted?"

Don't know if you don't ask.

As far as up and coming post cluttering the forum...idk

I do know that you also started a new post devoted solely to it.

[Android Software Development] SalamenceXDA:
There's currently one solution to your request. It's AOSP 2.0+ for Hero CDMA. Search for that. Sadly, the camera doesn't work. It's not 1.6, but the Nexus One verson (2.0/2.0.1). It has live wallpapers though! :D
[Android Software Development] illogic6:
Root your phone and flash the Damagecontrol ROM. If you remove the right apks in /system/apps you can use the plain ol' home rather than SenseUI. Not completely AOSP, but it's about as good as you'll get for now.

You have a fully working market and camera that way too.
[Android Software Development] Is_907:
We have an entire forum dedicated to ROMs and development of the CDMA (Sprint) Hero: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=519

I'd recommend you try darchstar's 2.1 AOSP ROM if you can live without camera. quietbclongs made a fantastic AOSP 1.6 ROM, too, that has just about everything you need in it.

Hi all, I am really really hoping that someone here can help me. I dropped my HD2 today and the screen just shattered. I rang HTC but since the phone has not been launched here in Australia they can not help me. I need to get a new screen but have no idea where from. Can anyone please help me on where to get a replacement screen. I was shocked at how the screen shattered, But I guess thats what happens with glass..lol..Thank in advance for any help
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
This is the drawback with glass screens, you get much better resistance to scratches but it becomes much more liable to shattering or cracking when dropped. A work colleague has had this happen to two separate iPhones.

As for your issue I can't really help, I doubt anyone else can either - given how new the phone is it's unlikely there is any means of getting the screen replaced outside of HTC doing the job even if you lived in a country where it's been released. However, I will suggest the first thing you do when and if you get it replaced is buy some sort of cover, this will reduce the chances of a screen shatter on being dropped dramatically. Here is the one I have purchased, it should be arriving today.
