try to see if you can exchange the phone. must be able to if you can show the phone crashes to vodafone and if you have the device not for too long they should exchange it for you as far as I know,..
[HD2 General] mr3rown:
Vodafone! are saying they have none in stock and cant replace it, would it be worth just flashing it with a different ROM since there is nothing they can do...
[HD2 General] jakem:
Have you tried a hard reset?

Also MaskedMagi just posted that Vodafone DO have some replacement phones left: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5285586&postcount=184

Perhaps it would be worth calling them back.
[HD2 General] MaskedMagi:
Yep, just to clarify that was about 3 hours ago so fingers crossed I'll get the phone tomorrow, though with the incoming snow probably not :(

I'm hoping that it is actually a HD2 and not a HTC Touch HD 2 or something as people have been confused over the phone before, I'll definately check before giving back my old one!

Needless to say I hope the newer one is not in fact worse than the old one! Give them a ring if you want, but remember you have to be within the 28 day period to get a return/replacement.

The direct line for returns they gave me was: 08448540430
[HD2 General] mr3rown:
Called them back but it was to late, got to call back during normal working hours... they are playing the arse because i called after the 28 days, when in fact I originally called on the 30th December, 27 days from when i received the phone on the 3rd.

I am very much annoyed, if they werent on holiday, there systems were down, then if not that they put me through to 3 different depts to then have to email v-store to them then telling me I am actually meant to call another dept.

These guys cannot be serious!!!
[HD2 General] MaskedMagi:
If you make enough of a fuss and tell them your original call was within the 28 day period and that they have delayed you they might listen, just have to see how it goes. Good luck with them tomorrow, keep us posted on how it goes :)
[HD2 General] mr3rown:
Originally they did, and the lady was meant to call back. But when she did the phone crashed. So I called back on the land line and got someone else instead.

Then had to go through the whole process again!! Will call back tommorrow though!

Did a hard reset we will see how that goes in the mean time.
[HD2 General] MaskedMagi:
Ah that sucks man, next time ask for their name and direct extension number straight away in case it happens again. Hopefully they'll sympathize with you tomorrow :)

Hi ppl i recently installed some custom icons and i have just relised that my file explorer is stuck when i go into the windows directory. I can no longer access file explorer even after reseting the phone.

Has anyone had this problem and how do u solve it?

thanks for the help
[Touch HD General] maaz_talha:
I've recently received two blank texts, the author of which is simply "Δ@", following which I promptly restarted my blackstone.

this isnt the first time i've received such a text. A little concerned, since I

read that receiving a blank text from dodgy places means someone might be

trying to hack into your phone.

Has anyone ever received similar texts before? Any advice / help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

[Touch HD General] JanSchotsmans:
Yeah, I got it a while back, but if I'm not mistaken, it was the iPhone which was vulnerable to this SMS attack.
[Touch HD General] Jason1978:
Have you checked your Voicemail, if I remember correctly, I had this and it is your Voicemail. I think the way the voicemail icon is activated on phones is via the SMS protocol, and your phone should not show you an SMS message like that, but intercept it and show you your voicemail icon.

If you have a voicemail, read and delete it and you will probably get another text message, which is similar, to instruct the phone to delete the voicemail icon, again you shouldn't see this normally.

I am sure there is a patch to sort this out, but I haven't had any problems like this for ages, so maybe update to a newer ROM and see if it goes away.

Jason
[Touch HD General] maaz_talha:
Thanks Jason

I'll look out for voicemail in the future :) i think i did have some at the time.

However, I keep getting told I have voicemail waiting to be read when I don't actually have any, so its a little difficult (and annoying) determining whether I actually have voicemail or not.

As for my ROM, im using NRGZ28's latest ROM released in late December :s

Maybe its an Orange thing?
[Touch HD General] Jason1978:
If I recall I was on Orange in the UK at the time, so I am not sure if different networks use different ways of forcing the icon to appear, and your phone does not support it. I would of thought it was something to do with the software, so the ROM is likely to be the problem, but I dont know for sure...

As I moved network, I cannot give any definites on whether my ROM would work for you either... You have not indicated your country, maybe if you advise, another person may be able to give you some assistance against that particular ROM.

Jason
[Touch HD General] EyeBees:
I am on orange UK

I have a HTC Tytn with 6.5 (23060)

The Tytn gets the SMS strange symbols when I get Voice message

My HTC HD phone on Orange has Miri 6.5 (21876) V13

Voice messge icon works OK on this

so I would think it maybe win 6.5.3 / Orange problem
[Touch HD General] crankshaft:
You should try calling your phone and leaving a voice message. Orange have a strange issue that I've helped people on xda with before in that if you hang up to soon after deleting voicemail the voicemail icon doesn't disappear. It could be that your phone isn't translating the sms that's sent to display the voicemail icon properly and the sms keeps being sent to you cos Orange thinks you've still got one.

1. Call yourself and leave a voicemail

2. Call you voicemail from your phone and listen to the message

3. Delete the message (option 3 I think) but wait about 5 seconds before hanging up

If you then stop recieving the sms and you're no longer told you got voicemail then great.

4. Leave yourself another message and see if you get the proper icon or a strange text

If you get the strange text then you'll need to do some research into it. I used to get it when I had a Prophet on Orange so take a look in that forum as there was a fix for it.
[Touch HD General] palonisj:
i have camera problem in the 2 week that i have this mobile

camera not working .when i press photo icon nothing happend

is there any solution for this ? this mobile it's new with original rom

happy new year 2010!!!
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Hi palonisj,

You can try and perform a Hard Reset (wipes device back to factory settings) to see if it makes any difference. Please note: a hard reset will reset your phone back to factory settings, this excludes data stored on your MicroSD card.

If you need to backup any data (such as Contacts, Messages, etc) before you perform a hard reset, then you can use a backup program such as PIMBackup or Sprite Backup (you get 15-days full trial) to backup your entire phone to the storage card. In order to run this application, you first need to install the relevant cab file on your phone and then you access the backup program (PIMBackup or Sprite) via your phone to create a backup.

To perform a Hard Reset, please do the following:

1) With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.

2) Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:

Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.

3) Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

4) After the reset, don't install any software. Try the camera.

5) If you still have the same problem, you can also try going to the official HTC website, to the support section, and apply their Hotfix. Here is the link: http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533. Just follow the steps and you'll hopefully be fine. *** Make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installed on your PC before you try this step ***.

If nothing from what I have suggested above works, then it is very likely to be a hardware issue in which case you should call up HTC to arrange repair - also explain to them that you've tried the Hotfix in the support section mentioned on their website.

Regards.

Hey guys, my hd2 was working fine connection wise using 3g or wifi but a couple of hours ago, whilst connected to my wifi network I cannot load any pages using opera or internet explorer. There is nothing wrong with the wifi network as im using it now on my pc to type this message,

The wierdest thing is, I can still browse the router config page by typing the router ip address into opera (192.168.1.1) etc. But when I go to any external page I get the error: "could not locate remote server"

Has anyone ever come accross this before?

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Ive already deleted the network from the hd2 and added it again but im getting the same thing. Ive also done a soft reset but still the same
[HD2 General] FordPrefect:
Sorry, have no solution .. just want to report that I am having the exact same problem. WiFi connects, but no web pages can be loaded ... Any hint is welcome.
[HD2 General] umiss:
Can you guys check what IP-adress you have during this error?

You find the IP-adress by going to ConnManager -> WLAN-> Advanced -> Advanced (I have swedish rom so I might have translated the titles wrong).
[HD2 General] FordPrefect:
For me, I can tell that I have an IP (169.254.248.92) which is not in the address range of my router. I suspect it is an IP of my mobile operator, from the GSM/UMTS connection the HD2 had before WiFi was connected.
[HD2 General] crapbag172:
i have ip 192.168.1.1

my router ip is 192.168.1.254
[HD2 General] crapbag172:
i just managed to get this problem sorted. i looked at the settings for my wireless adapter and for some reason the ip address was configjred fo 192 168 1 1. i changed it to auto and eveything is working fine now. i should have suspected this earlier but as i didnt change any settings i just ruled it out
[HD2 General] NuMbErSeVeN:

[HD2 General] bedwar22:
Hi, I just had the same problem and I thought I was going to have to do a hard reset until I found this thread. This site is great - answers for everything.

How I did it:

- go to settings

- menu at the bottom right

- more

This brings you to what I think are the Windows mobile settings.

- Connections ( or similar)

- WLAN

-Wireless network ( the upper box)

- tab at bottom for network cards

-there are 2 802.11 adapters listed. Check both and make sure the IP address is given by the server.

Sorry if some of the descriptions may be wrong above but I have the German version.

It worked for me so good luck.

Why it happened? - no idea. Anybody any ideas how to stop it from happening again?
[HD2 General] sherkaan:
Think I might have the same issue

IP adress might not be correct.

However I have to confess (with humility) that I did not manage to see what was the IP adress configured on my HD2.

Can someone kindly give me some details on how to do this ?

This rubbish is starting to drive me crazy and my wife is just having fun because her iPhone connected immediately....

[HD2 General] nickc78:
Thanks - worked for me too. I found I had to power down and restart in order for the changes to take effect. I also suspect that it may have been my mobile provider that knackered it as it was working fine prior to my previous mobile number being ported - it went bandy the day that the number was ported and they sent through some updates........which was nice!
[HD2 General] HTCHD2USER1981:
So I think I figured out what is causing this at least on my end. I had the same issue and the solution on this thread worked. What I noticed in mind was that when I turned on WiFi sharing (not available with the TMobile version HD2, I had to install it myself), it automatically sets the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter to use specific IP address. I'm assuming this is normal in order for other devices to find an IP address to connect to it. Once its turned off, it does not reset it back to Use server-assigned IP address. Pretty annoying. If anyone knows where I can find a .cab file for the wifi sharing program that does this let me know. Either what, this is what I noticed on my device. Might not be the case for everyone. Hope this helps.

***********************

I have the same problem when i install Cookie Home Tab (no web pages loading)

I get as far as the connection folder

i'm then confronted by

Account manager

comm manager

advanced network

connection setup

connections

wifi

i doesn't matter which folder i open there is no folder at the bottom called 'network cards'.

I have now opened every wifi/network accocciated folder on my HD2 and can find nothing where there are 2 802.11 adapters listed.

I also found another thread in the archive where 'crapbag172' had an

ip address was configjred 192 168 1 1 and changed it to auto.

How do you do that because i have the same ip but cannot change it.

If i can't get this sorted this weekend i will sell HD2 on ebay :eek:

For me,

Go to Comm Manager

Tap on "Wi-Fi Connect to Wi-Fi networks"

Tap on "Advanced" button

Tap "Adaptor and Networks"

Tap "Network Adaptors"

Set both 802.11 Network Adaptors to "Use server-assigned IP address"

Works for my setup (see sig)
[HD2 General] mustibabu:
Thanks for the fix buddy!

While trying out all the options in the settings, I did come across this, but never thought setting the IP address to be auto-assigned by the server would help. Its a lesson to be learnt! Simply try out all available options, including the senseless ones, 'coz sometimes u never know which one just might do the trick!
[HD2 General] waynethegr8:
New to xda, first post. Love the site.

First I have Tmo HD2.

I had this problem after I installed the trial version of WMWifiRouter as others have stated. I couldn't find the IP settings via any of the suggested routes though. I thought I would post how I found mine...

(Connected to the Wi-Fi network I am having issues with)

Start>

Settings>

Wireless controls>

Wi-Fi

Connect to Wi-Fi network> (not the toggle button but the bar)

Advanced (button on bottom right)

Change Network (button under SSID text field)

Network Adapter (tab at bottom of window)

Now change both Broadcom 802.11 adapters to...

"Use server-assigned IP address"

[HD2 General] xaban:
I've been reading HD2 users posts for some time now and I have one observation.

There is plenty of rather-satisfied and rather-not-satisfied users. But also there are many users that are very pleased or very much disappointed with HD2.

All the fixes are public, but they seem not to help everyone.

Perhaps some of you had bad luck and bought their devices from first batches/series having hardware bugs?

Otherwise, would it be possible to find here users with that many malfunctions and - at the same time - users with no problems at all?

I mentioned it in one of the threads but I desided to start a new one.

Let's build a list of serial numbers (probably with some digits replaced by "X" for privacy reasons) of good and bad devices.

For people that didn't buy HD2 yet and for those who decided to return their phone and change for a new one. To let them recognize the bad series.

To start a list, first s/n of the phone without the SMS problems: HT9C7NW0XXXX (thanks to djet).

ROM 1.48 WWE (update from 1.43)

Overall very pleased with device. You know why. Still, some issues

- Bluetooth stereo: very bad audio, fine after the linespeed tweak

- Screen way too sensible, many issues, ghost writing, some automatic writing even without pressing a letter, electrocardiography bug... better after tweak, but not perfect at all

- Permanent connection/disconnection to 3G network, fixed after installing Bandswitch software

- No not sent SMS, can't talk about the lagging since I don't have a lot of SMS yet

- Music player: a lot of freezes when filled with bad tagged mp3s... Still not fixed

- Camera: no problem, at least not obvious (quality is very good, by the way)

- No SMS sending issues

- No physical misalignment problems in corners - build quality fine.

- HUGE touch problems - all known major glitches occur and screen refuses to respond to touches when device is warm

- speaker distortion when using speakerphone

- no earpiece distortion but bloody loud even at lowest setting! :eek:

- camera fine

- GPS excellent

- Wifi seems to work but not thoroughly tested yet.

Just a question on the methodology - given the wide range of serial numbers without any apparent date markers or order, how would we know if a replacement phone came from an earlier or later batch?
