Hi All,

I have searched far and wide on 2 issues I have been encountering. I have yet to come across a solution though. Could anyone enlighten me please?

1. How can I rearrange the icons (when in grid format) in the main menu? I don't seem to be able to arrange them according to the way I want, and only have the option of list / grid format in the menu.

2. How can I set the screen to dim like say after 30 seconds but only lock after 5 minutes? Right now, its irritating to have the screen dim and lock after 30 seconds. Any 3rd party apps that can do this?

Thanks guys (:

Want > Rom with Sense, Wm 6.5 and basic icons, like touch3d, neon or black and white

Basically what title says, a rom with basic icons like original, can be colored, but not like the detailed ones of sense, but i want it to be sense. (just don't like its icons) and wm 6.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:
If you would have basically used the excellent search function of this forum you would have found this package that will reverse your (tab) icons to the original Diamond ones (-> make back up first and the overwrite in windows folder).

For the ROM, there are a few WM6.5/Sense 2.5 ones over here, you just have to read the corresponding topics and try them, cuz what fits you best can only you decide.

Personally i use the Donsalari V4.

good luck

[HD2 Accessories] Twiggerdingo:
Agree with above poster, can a mod fix this?

Nice case! ive also ordered 1 last week at PDAir, the 1 without a screen, so easy acces, but fewer protection. I am hoping its more solid so i can put it in my back pocket without getting a red face everytime i realize i accidently put it there...

When did you order it and did it took long (i am eager to get mine, but now hope is gone till monday or tuesday...)
[HD2 Accessories] DuperMan:
I disagree.

The "Cases" thread is too long and too complicated for discussing any one specific case.

Anyway I ordered mine just a moment ago and would very much like to hear how quick was the shipment, how snug is the fit and how reassuring the neoprene feels :)

It's a shame they opted for a plastic screen protector instead of either a window-less aluminum door or a transparent cover that lets you work with the touchscreen.
[HD2 Accessories] MonnieRock:
mohasea,

How thick is the plastic cover over the screen?

Does the plastic cover flex?

Do you think the plastic cover would prevent the screen being cracked if dropped screen down on ummm concrete?

I totally agree, wish they had a solid aluminum front door instead of the window cut-out covered in plastic or the other option they have of no plastic window cut-out. I would order one now,even not having my Leo yet, just because the front door was solid aluminum.

I am going to contact PDair and see if they would leave a few front doors out of the cnc cutter and have a full cover aluminum :)

Would you like one too, Duperman ?

Thank you,

Monnie

I'm debating whether to go with their leather flip case or this aluminum case...
[HD2 Accessories] copenhagen:
I got this case and immediatly wished there was no plastic screen on the front door. So, I held it over some boiling water for about 2 mins and and then used my thumb nail (not kidding it was easy) to pry the plastic from the metal. The whole lot peeled off easily, i replaced the foam into the case and BAM perfect case. (be careful not to rip the foam, but if you do it will still stick back. also the foam stretched out a bit but pushed back into shape no problem. TIP: Work from the front side of the case, wedge your nail into the seem and loosen it all the way around. If it starts to get tough again, hold it over steam for a while longer.

Also.. when the plastic was still inplace and the case door was closed, there would be random screen presses and that was not cool, however now that the plastic is out, i can leave the door closed, press when I want too, AND there is no random case presses :)

I know this sounds like a poor fix, but it worked awesome and it looks like it was SUPPOSED to come this way.

Now all i need is for my zag shield (front only) to show up and im perfectly protected (minus water damage dammit)

awesome case guys im not kidding. you dont have to put the nubbin on in the back either so it doesnt add much bulk to teh phone. good luck yo.

[HD2 Accessories] jbl200:
well, do not kill me if I say so .. but it is ugly as hell. :D

I do not say that it does not protect the phone, or the the finishing it's not ok .. but from a slim phone with a huge screen, it looks like a bullet proof brick with a screen.

The whole idea of an elegant smartphone it's gone.

Small question: what do you hate about the original leather case?

It is elegant, slim easy to use and protect the phone in normal use conditions or small accidents. ;)

Capdase Alumor Metal Case

Bought this silicon w/ aluminium backcover case by CAPDASE in Hong Kong, adding a more "solid" feel over the pure silicon case. It comes with a CAPDASE screen protector as well.

http://www.mobimega.com/capdase-alumor-metal-case-htc-hd2.html

Beware that the silicon case may not glue well to the aluminum backcover (I think it's the factory problem) which may leave a small gap between them when you put the phone in. I have to apply some glue to fix that myself. Apart from the case is nice and not too costly.
[HD2 Accessories] jaqm01:
Hi,

I am seriously thinking about ordering one for my Desire (A8181).

But what I'm not able to find, is how it works. I mean, you seem to describe the case as a silicone skin, with a metal plate sticked to it.

I thought it was more like a silicone skin with another semi-case to "clip" over the silicon....

Can you confirm if I am right or wrong?

And can you post multiple angles pictures?

Thank you, it would be much appreciated!

First of all you need to choose ROM - read all the threads on this forum, or just try first in a row (and then second, third... :-)) - everybody has different tastes so you have to make decision about what is best for you.

Second - if you don't want to have any problems, read carefully THIS thread and do exactly what is said here.

That's all, happy flashing :-)

[HD2 General] Starfury:
I used to use MSVC 1.6 on the Tytn2 on WM6.5 (see sig) and the confirmation notifications when you called someone always used the bluetooth headset. Since running it on the Leo MSVC seems to use the loudspeaker on the handset instead of the bluetooth headset even though every setting is marked as "Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only"

Anyone else having this issue as I did a search and couldn't find anyone.

Edit: Just had it working once but then the other end couldn't hear me when the call connected. Then I tried again and it had reverted back to not working.

I went to Bluetooth settings, Advanced, Audio and ticked the box then rebooted the phone...
[HD2 General] eskasi:
I have this same problem! Its annoying... you want to make a call and the prompts/confirmation come from the phone... Please, can someone figure this out?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Bumping thread as it should be resolvable
[HD2 General] eskasi:
IT isn't... I have done more research..

The Leo (and the TouchPro2) use a Widcomm BT stack as opposed to the usual MS stack. Sadly, this means the BT won't play nice with a lot of different apps/equipment. This isn't something that can be swapped out easily as NRG has pointed out. Touch Pro 2 users are still facing the same problems even though that phone was released much earlier. Some however have reported some success when using certain custom ROMS... how its working with some ROMS and not others is still a mystery it seems :(

I would watch the ROM Development thread carefully to see if a ROM what works with our MSVC shows up....

Workaround

Hi,

for this following workaround seems the only way to get it runnin:

My BT-Headset has the ability to be set as a Stereo-Device. When I establish a connection to this Stereo-Device, I can use it (my BT Headset) to give Commands and recieve "answers" from the VC. In case I want to start a phone-Call, my headset changes the connection automatically from "Stereo-Device" to "Handsfree-Device" and back, after finishing the Call.

This may be the Reason, why someone here already got it running with a BT-Stereo-Headset.?

Sorry for my bad english... :(

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] steviewevie:
Are you running a stock ROM ? If not, did your GPS work on the stock ROM ?

If your GPS has never worked then it may well be a hardware problem. But if it used to work and stopped with a cooked ROM, then there was a version of WM where GPS support was broken.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MightyCrys:
Google maps also needs internet connection, you have one? Also try with a navigation software like TomTom or Igo, in Igo you have to let the software discover the port used.

i have seen one or twice the gps icon.

i will have a go with Igo.

thx sofar ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rick94:
You could also try:

Chartcross GPStest.

Go sit next to a road so that it is easier to get a signal...

And it might take a few minutes until it got a fix.

And if you have a data connection (like T-Mobile web 'n walk), enable A-GPS in your settings. Good luck:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MightyCrys:
If it helps you, the GPS port is 4 and the speed is 38400, in Igo you cann set it yourself or let the software find it

Hello,

If do not upgrade from Vista to Win7, this means an normal installation and you do not format your system partition in the process, the Win7 automatically make an directory called something like this ''old Windows'' where you'll find all ancient informations.

But if you format the partition they are lost forever.

[HD2 General] Cheesy Dave:
Send it back.

I've had one now for over a month and it's great.

I don't have any of the problems you have.

I did have a slight pink tinge when I focussed at close range on a white sheet. But with the recent hotfix that is much improved. Anyway, I don't often photo white sheets !

I also don't video at all so tried your problem and I can confirm it's super simple to video and then playback (it's offered as an option after the recording is stopped).

I would send it back and ask for a new one and insist on an updated ROM.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Same here. Sounds like you've just been unlucky and got a bad one, like some others have reported on xda.

I agree with sending it back as faulty. Say you want another two weeks (or however long it is) with the new one as this one has been so faulty you need to re-evaulate when you get the new one whether you want it or not.

As for insisting on an updated ROM, don't even think about saying that to your phone provider. None of them have updated ROMs yet, and probably won't for a long time. They're likely to wait until the majority of bugs are ironed out before going through the lengthy process of "updating" a ROM for their customers. Seriously - just ignore that advice. (No offense meant, Cheesy Dave)
[HD2 General] sabes143:
Hi

Instead of writing here your complaints you should have read some of the threads explaining your problems. I advice you to backup your data then hard reset your device and reinstall your programs one by one and eliminate the program which is eating your HD2's memory. At least half of your problem will be gone after hard reset.

i am using HD2 for a month now and resolved 90% problems came with it.

Good Luck
[HD2 General] Cheesy Dave:
None taken !

Probably if you spoke to the local phone rep and said "ROM" they would be most confused !
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'm sure they'd advise you on a massive 32MB ROM SD card that you could put in and store all your music and video on. ;)
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
Oh I've been reading the threads here non stop and have hard reset the phone three times since receiving it. The only programs I've installed are BSB tweaks and the YouTube app which T-Mobile has removed. Otherwise it's untouched.

My main issue is the crackling speaker, which if you read my post you'd see that I'm happy to wait to sort all the software issues out over time, but hardware issues are different.

My problem is that T-mobile will not do another exchange. They will only give me one chance to exchange then it's either cancel or keep. As I'm on my 2nd handset already, it means I have to make that decision today.

I know some of you hate to see posts from people who are considering ditching their HD2, but that's the reality. We exist. I'm an existing WinMo user too, not even one of the iphone brigade.
[HD2 General] Ruudfood:
I can imagine the issues you're having are annoying and I must admit I've also experienced some of them.

1) Crackling: not a problem for me. I use a bluetooth headset (plus I'm a a bit deaf anyway) so I don't notice any crackling. Have you tried a headset? Any headset? Does it still occur or is the problem only from the external speaker and earpiece? I know others have complained about the volume but thought it was fixed in a newer ROM

2) Messages loading: yes, a real pain. Have you tried the workaround which is to click "Send" as soon as the messages start loading, then click "No" when prompted to send an empty message?

3) Contacts: I haven't had this problem, but then I haven't added users to any groups as they were already set up on my X1.

4) Random Slowdowns: yes, I must admit, this happens to me from time to time. Although you might think that nothing is running there are some processes that aren't visible by default that may be consuming the CPU's time.

I've been using Leo ROMs for quite a while now and if you think it's bad on the HD2 you should've tried it on the X1 to really appreciate the speed and stability of the Leo. OK, perhaps not an acceptable answer for you but some things you just have to put up with and blame not on the phone but the underlying OS (yes, Windows!!)

5) Camera: I've noticed the pink tint too even after installing the hotfix. Annoying, to say the least!

6) Camcorder playback: Works for me!!
