[HD2 General] DrATty:
I have the same problem and have e-mailed HTC. I can still return my HD2 for a refund but I'll see what they say first.

It doesn't suggest quality manufacture in my opinion. My phone is in a Noreve case and I rarely use the buttons but here I am, 3 months on; and my £500 mobile looks tatty. It won't send messages reliably, has an out-of-date OS, types on its own and crashes daily, buy that's WM for you. I'll put up with these foibles but not with it looking antique.
[HD2 General] Archange1:
I bought my HD2 about three weeks ago and I just noticed there's a dust-like scratch along the edge of the home button and its definitely not dust :(
[HD2 General] rawrscary:
I also got this after only 2 weeks of use, I ended up just scratching the layer off the home button and honestly it looks fine. When the rest eventually starts peeling i'll do the same to them.

Telstra HD2 T9193
[HD2 General] lokiderelb:
I think that all of you that have theire buttons peeling, are using the case thats send with.

i use it to and it seems to me thet this little lether pocket is ripping the coat of.
[HD2 General] nitr00:
FYI

Im using the HD2 since 30/11/2009 and the coating is still like new on my device.

Perhaps HTC economized on the coatings for later HD2's...
[HD2 General] DrATty:
Perhaps there wasn't any paint or cover on the buttons on your new device. I don't know and I hope it's not the case, but it's worth checking and being certain before scraping away at the buttons.
[HD2 General] anonymous operator:
Same on my german HD2 - unbeliveable...

always the same with htc :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] msai:
yep same here :(

only had mine since 26th of march
[HD2 General] hanissyazwan:
i got same problem too....
[HD2 General] taita:
how many of you use the HD2 inside the original HTC case? because, i´ve always use mine in the case, and barely use those buttons, and the buttons start to peel off too.

Maybe it´s because of put and taking out the hd2 in the case?
[HD2 General] DrATty:
I used the supplied case for a few days only. I have used a Noreve flip case ever since. I can see what you are suggesting though, and I agree that it would probably be more likely to happen with the pouch that come with the HD2.

I did report the problem to HTC. I didn't receive a reply. The buttons really do look messy now but I haven't applied HTC's 'hardware hot-fix.' I'm worried that my phone will end up looking worse than it does now. I do everything I can to avoid scratches and, apart from the buttons, my HD2 is pristine. There isn't a mark on it and this makes the buttons all the more obvious.

I've noticed now that fit of the metal battery cover is getting worse as well. It was never perfect but I think the constant resets needed are taking a toll. These annoyances, and the fact that the vigour of the vibration feedback from my phone is lessening, says to me that HTC have cut more than a few corners this time.
[HD2 General] maniep:
Wow!

Those pictures of the phone keys look terrible.

It is definetely a flaw on the product.

My phone is 2 months old and it does not have it yet, but I do try to use the screen and not the bottom keys whenever there is a need.

Example, to go to the home tap, I click on the star icon and then the home icon on the screen.
[HD2 General] Fif23:
Mine are starting to fade off.. I've had it for 2 months now.

Oh well, when they do finally fade, it will give me a reason to get a new Evo without those stupid low-tech Nokia type hard keys.
[HD2 General] verx123:
I'm using my HD2 since late November and the buttons are still as new as ever.Maybe it's because i don't have fingernails :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hjubm2:
So the power button started playing up. It either does not work or registers a long press & brings up the shut down menu. Has anyone else had this problem? Since the phones just run out of warranty any ideas of rough costs involved in fixing this?

Any info anyone has would be great.

Thanx
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mancsoulja:
you could prob replace it yourself if you buy a new button, it could be anything tho, maybe u had somthing sticky (liquid or somthing) get between the button and the casing or under the button and its stopping the button making a correct connection, if you know what your doing maybe you should try opening up your phone and taking a look :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hjubm2:
Yea I thought about something being under there but couldn't see anything there so not sure about it. Hoping it's only the button that's been damaged but even if it is wouldn't be confident enough to pull the phone apart.

Thanx

Hi,

I want to use Microsoft SMS Sender for sending SMS from my PC.

But this requires a modem driver for Treo Pro.

I can find it on google.

Do you have any information ?

Thanks in advance,

[Palm Treo Pro] muntu:
try pairing your treo pro with your pc via bluetooth. it installs a bunch of drivers and dial up networking (DUN). maybe that will help.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] husker91:
hey, while using the phoenix rom I noticed that when I held down the power button a number of options came up. Ive recently switched roms but would like this feature, is there a program I can install to achieve this? Thanks.

Edit: Right now it just asks if I want to shut down.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] backspacepc:
Ok, here is my strange problem, I recently refurbished my tilt. Replaced a broken earpiece, new casing, and screen. After the earpiece install, I have no sound out of it. Checked the speaker to make sure it works (it does), and checked the board it connects to. Everything seems to be working, so I have no clue as to what could be causing the problem. I thought it might be a registry issue, but I can't find any threads concerning this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[HTC Vox] dklinecp:
I am seeing the same thing when using ATT GPRS on my Vox. I just flashed it to WM6.5 using * VoxRomWM6.5Custom_v3.1 (STABLE) *. I haven't posted there yet. Seemed to be okay in a quick test using wifi, but GPRS seems to cause it to power off (shutdown). Have seen this in IE and Google Maps.
[HTC Vox] kbs_ar:
it's the battery, replace it

i've had the same problem
[HTC Vox] jenod:
even i thinks its the battery, because i noticed that it doesnt turn off if it is charging. and im already using the 6.5 clean 3.1 rom
[HTC Vox] jenod:

[HTC Vox] kbs_ar:

Hi

A wonderful New Year Wish to everyone ...

I have been working on a new Windows Mobile App / Game Review site. It has been in the work for a while now and I think it is a good time to introduce it to you guys.

We try and review each app / game trying to focus on the Pros and Cons of each of them.

Site URL : http://www.bestwindowsmobileapps.com/ ( if thats too hard to remember plz use wmArcade.com it will redirect you to us )

Games Category : - it is a work in progress : http://www.bestwindowsmobileapps.com/windows-mobile-games

If you guys can give some suggestions as to what is wrong with the site, how we can improve it etc. That would be great. Praises are welcome too :D

If you wish to Subscribe via RSS : RSS link

We are working hard to add more content. Thanks to the great team of reviewers we have. Looking fwd to hear your thoughts

We find the interesting Windows Mobile Apps and Games, then we test and score them so our readers can make an informed choice before purchasing or downloading these apps. If you are after Windows Mobile Freeware then you might want to check our sister site : 1800PocketPc.com

How to Interpret our Rating System :

We rate the Windows Mobile on various factors like

User Interface : is it finger friendly, does it look nice, etc

Features : what does the app do, has it got any feature that makes it stand apart from other similar apps

Ease of Use : is the app intuitive, has it got good documentation on how to use, etc

Re-use Value : Once you install it will you go back to this app or just forget about it and why

For games we also consider

Graphics : has the game for good graphics ?

Sound : is the music and sound effect appealing or annoying ?

We rate all of the above mentioned criteria from 1-5 , one being the least appealing and five being the very best. Then we give the app an over all score.
[Off-topic] kimtyson:
It looks good and has useful info. I will take a longer visit later but I liked it. Thanks.
[Off-topic] the0ne:
you are welcome. I am glad you like it.
[Off-topic] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Just had a quick look...

maybe you should categorize the games by supported screen resolution, cause there are games which are not supported by WVGA resolution, and it would be rreally nice If you could open the games section and view only the games which work on your devices screen!!!

Sorry if its already on site and I missed it, as I said - just a quick look.. :)
[Off-topic] psolunke:
Truely we required this type of info sharere..

Thanx for sharing bro..Excelent work dear..

Is it possible that you can provide the beta or under testing app info for WM6.5 also.
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
I think when your reviewing games do graphics, gameplay and sound

Because gameplay is what motivates you to play the game further.

and i like your site!

It looks like a blog site a bit and when i go to a review site it turns me away when it look big and like a blog.

flyboy
[Off-topic] the0ne:
@ Kristaps-K9-Lv : with the level of fragmentation on WM it will be hard, but we will try and include the supported resolutions ( provided we can get the info from the developer, coz we currently dont have the resources to test it on all available resolutions. May be this will change in the future )

@ psolunke: thanks . At the moment we are trying to focus on games and apps that are out of beta and ready for widespread use. If we get more reviewers down the line we might be able to include those

@flyboyovyick2k9 : excellent idea we will try and add gameplay in to the future reviews.
[Off-topic] BenF1:
I have never been to this site, but its one for the bookmarks! Looks nice and clean. Easy to use and very useful!

Maybe a new URL though? I dont like the bestwindowsmobileapps.com too much of a mouthful. Thats my only complaint though!
[Off-topic] the0ne:
Thats a fair call. We will keep the name for link structure and SEO results.

but here is an easy name to remember wmArcade.com that will take you to bestwindowsmobileapps.com. Hope you guys like it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dazz245:
I recently got a touch pro of a friend with a damaged screen that didn't turn on but the touch screen was responsive. Apparently he sat on it and the screen broke.

I then acquired it and replaced the LCD screen and i turned it on but all it shows is a blank black screen with the backlight on. I was tapping while it booted up and it was making that beep noise so i know the touch screen works. What do i do now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mancsoulja:
if the lcd is damaged and you only replaced the digitizer then that wont solve the problem, the digitizer just sits ontop of the lcd and recognizes your touches, hence why it mite know that your touching the screen but the screen is still blank :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dazz245:
I replaced the LCD along with the digitalizer. Tats what i meant.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
Sounds like either the new screen is inop on fit (fraid you need another to test, then send the first back as faulty), or the fault is not the LCD itself.

Possibily its the wrong screen, or its not installed correctly, or you damaged either the screen or the controller when installing.

I'm afraid you dont have many options - take it apart & rebuild to ensure correct parts & fitment, spend £££ on alternative parts to see whats broken (or serious £££ on test equipment!), send it off for repair or give up!

I'd go for option 1 first :)

If your friend sat on it hard enough to break the screen, i'd be looking for any damage / cracking to the boards / ribon cable mounts and be looking very carefully at the mountings of any IC chips. Incedently, when (s)he sat on it, did the screen work at all? and was it 100% working before they did?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dazz245:
Okay thanks for the replies. I just bought a flex cable where the slider thing is because the old one looked a bit old and flexed out and on inspection of the old screen i found a tiny rip on the screen's flex cable too. I wait for my cable and see if it works and if it doesn't then i'll sent the screen back as faulty and get a new one and if that doesn't work then I'll give up and sell it again
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nganto:
hi

sorry to wake up an old thread.

so what's your solution/conclusion?

is it the flex, or the LCD that broke?

i have the same problem right now.

thanks

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Versii2:
Is there a way I can get the start menu to not be so stupid? ARGG MICROSOFT... Just a simple layout like Android of iPhone or Symbian or WebOS or Palm OS or even Blackberry. I have tried to adjust but I just cannot. Any help, I tried searching but didn't really find anything. :(

I'm frustrated with my dismal battery life. I'd like to get a thread going where we accumulate all of the known methods of extending battery life .

If you chefs will grace me with your knowledge, I'll gladly update this for future users. Feel free to pipe in with ROMs known for better battery life as well.

- The Fake Server Trick to keep AS from trying to load automatically:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=288352&highlight=activesync+start

My experience, so far, is to leave the fake server on your device. It doesn't do any harm to be there.

- Turn HSDPA OFF (uncheck option) in Programs/Settings.

- Power off your phone manually. Don't let it go to sleep on its own.

- Use task manager to shut down all programs that you don't need.

- AS will often start with a soft reset - so when you power up, check task manager.

What else guys????? I need your brains here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Turn off wireless & bluetooth when not using.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DmytroL:
- Turn off IRDA too... that "Receive all incoming beams" option in Settings shall be unchecked.

- Avoid charging your Hermes from the PC, also do the battery maintenance procedure approx. once a month: discharge fully, take the battery out, wait several minutes, put the battery back in, discharge fully again if needs be, and finally charge the battery to 100% from the wall charger.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
First of all, Happy new year to everyone :)

I was wondering how can we allow the HD2 to preview a language other than english, such as sms, email, contacts without changing the GUI language.
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
Try in regional settings,

selecting your preferred language
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Hi Zazu and happy new year to you.

You can download the manuals for the HD2 from HTC's website which should help you get to know your new toy better. :)

WB
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Well, yes, that works if one is using an alphabetic language. Unfortunately, such a simple solution is not possible if the required language is an Asian language. Under those circumstances, installing fonts is required, or flashing a ROM that supports the language so that you can also use a soft keyboard for input.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
@Som30ne: Thank you for replying, but Arabic is not found in one of the languages :(

@wacky.banana: Thanks for the tip, I did that already and read through it, perhaps I missed it but i couldnt find anything that referred to adding an asian language.

@rlydiard: So where can I download an asian font for the phone ? And where should I install it.

I am skeptic about flashing the ROM because it voids the warranty, and can damage the phone if done incorrectly.

Thank you all for the help :)
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
I wish I could help you more on locating Arabic fonts, but as I am based on the island where HTC is headquartered, I am only familiar with installing traditional or simplified Chinese fonts in an English UI.

There are many talented Arabian members on XDA who can probably start you out in the right direction. Any fonts you acquire can be placed in the Windows folder on your device. This method will allow you to read the Arabic fonts on your device, but your keyboard would not allow you to write, so that is a whole other problem.

Perhaps doing a search of all the forums will come up with some leads on locating an Arabic font for you.
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
Maybe you should try this:

http://www.penreader.com/pocket-pc/...abic_Download_area_for_Language_Extender.html
[HD2 General] lee1980:
What you need is an Arabizer and as far as I know one of the best solution is MOBiDIV (http://www.citglobal.com/mobidiv/home.jsp) It's shareware but really reliable and as far as i Know it has been testet successfully on HD2....

Cheers,

LEE
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Unfortunately, not all answers can be found in HTC user manuals, but then, that is why XDA Developers exists in the first place, right? Getting unofficially supported languages to work on our beloved HTC devices is a good example of that.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
@rlydiard: Thank you for the help anyway :)

@Som30ne: This program changes the language of the whole UI, I only want the phone to read another language, keyboard isnt as important now since its a hassle to fix.

@lee1980: Thank you for the link, ill read more into it

Guys I want to ask, if I copied an Arabic font from C:\Windows\Fonts in my computer to the HTC Windows folder, will that work ?

Thanks for the help :) Really appreciate it !! :) :)
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Hmm I want to try sending some fonts to the phone, but should I send OpenType or TrueType ?

Can anyone please tell me if I can add fonts this way ?
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Hey guys, how come there are many views and no new replies :(((

I tried sending a font from C:\Windows\Fonts to HTC Windows\Fonts

But nothing really happened, I restarted the phone and nothing happened as well.

Any thoughts ?
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Just ran across this page. Check out post #6. It might just be what you are looking for!
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Thank you very much :)
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Did it work for you? Otherwise, if I see anything else that might help I will pass it on over to you.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
It worked but it has a small bug, the text is displayed in reverse order.

If you found another application, please DO reply back here, I really appreciate it :)

@rlydiard

Oh it be very nice of you can help me, I also don't want to flash with different rom.

I bought my Leo in China with UK Rom, all i wish is to red chinese sms and emails.

Thanks for your help !
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
You can try the attached file. It uses traditional Chinese though, not simplified characters. Unfortunately, at the moment I do not have a solution for simplified characters. Also, you can check this thread
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
If I find another solution I will let you know. In the meantime, you might post a request on the thread where the last solution was found. Maybe someone there knows how to change the order of words. It seems like a rather strange bug. You might also follow this thread, although I know you do not want to flash your LEO.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliano:
Well, I'll admit this is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

The Eris has a 5 Megapixel camera- but it can only record video in CIF at the highest.

Once it's rooted, maybe even before then, would it be possible to enable recording in VGA? I'm by no means technologically ignorant, but I'm not the most educated on cameras. So, if it's possible, let me know, and if not, please do explain WHY it's not, so that I can learn and not ask this question anywhere else.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliano:
So..... I take it no one out of the 50 people to view this has any idea about it?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R-T-B:
I honestly have no idea, sorry...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireSokar:
the reason its recording in CIF is as follows:

1) CIF is smaller/quicker and has better compatability when sent via MMS

2) Because CIF is smaller/quicker you get a higher framerate then if you increased resolution best example of this is the iPhone 3G programs setup to record... Stuttered alot and had very few FPS

3) Higher Res Video Recording requires a faster processor.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliano:
Aaaah, alright, thanks.

I just figured that because some other HTC phones before this (windows mobile, mainly) Had programs that could force VGA recording, I figured that this one would be powerful enough for it.

Ah well.

Now I just gotta figure out how to get the best quality out of CIF... any tips on making the motion not as blurry, or is that something I'd have to wait until they root the device to play around with? (Or not possible entirely)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanmmj:
It really depends on the chipset's processing abilities and whether it can handle the recording at that high of a resolution.
[HD2 General] jaguaralani:
Hi mates, I need to run a today plugin while I am on Manila ( running two plugins at the same time HTC SENSE+another ).

The reason behind that is that I need to run HOME SCREEN PLUS PLUS which shows the CPU usage as a digital number on the task bar while I am on manila.

I used to do this using TF DETACHER and hiding the Today Screen, but with the newest SENSE 1922, TFDETACHER is not compatible !

Any Clues ????

Thanx
[HD2 General] philo69:
Try SECOND TODAY......so you have a new today where you can put all your today plugin
[HD2 General] jaguaralani:
Thanx dude for the tip, I only had TFDetacher and Switcher in my mind !

Totally forgot about 2nd Today.

BUT, is it compatible with th new SENSE 1922 ??
[HD2 General] philo69:
Yes is compatible. I set, in second today setup, left softkey home TF as "Second Today", and in ST i set leftkey to "close ST"

Usually i leave ST open so i can switch to it fast.
