I had my Sony P1i for 26 months.....and had ZERO problems, so I would say currently it's the most reliable smartphone - certainly against your 2 month old HD2. :p
[HD2 General] freyberry:
I said in my original post that it was the most reliable smartphone I ever had. Because it is.
[HD2 General] chowdarygm:
stop complaining guys

NOM

nothing is perfect in this world. thats why XDA is here to make things almost perfect but "Rome is not built in a day friend" no smart phone was a huge hit out of the box.

if anyone cant wait / search / experiment this is not the right place

to be honest i will be getting my HD2 tomorrow but i had used all other HTC phones only because i know that XDA helps in almost every problem.i enjoy flashing roms every other day just finding the right one.

this forum, has been my favorite place. so many genious people are working for all of us to make things better

so not to be hard or hurt anyone , if u want to njy your HTC phone, please be patient, search and experiment.

I have a iphone 3gs and here are the complaints getting back:

scratched apple logo(happens to EVERY ONE) you wont be able to keep it scratchfree)

cracks in casing(about 30% of the users reporting this)

apple store approval team(they suck)

im member of 4 iphone forums and this forum got more problems then the iphone forums. Alhough stopid idiots always remain.

3 weeks ago there was a guy sending back his iphone because the backlight was to weak. He said he didnt try to fix it because he was still under warrenty. Lol...
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Well, the HD2 definitely has less problems than the iPhone. And other than Apple, HTC is working on solutions.

The cracks and scratched logo were widely known problems of the iPhone 3G, and yet Apple shipped the iPhone 3GS in the same low quality casing. Quality-wise, iPhone vs. HD2 is like Dacia vs. Bugatti.
[HD2 General] g.lewarne:
actually dacia aint too bad! but seriously, i still hear nothing but complaints from iPhone users and yet they will defend apple to the bitter end. Why? all they do is pump out poor quality expensive phones using yesterdays technology yet people still "would die to have one".

the iPhone is for people who dont know any better. HTC is for people who do know better.

EDIT: would just like to add that my Nokia 3310 that i have lying around is far more capable than the iPhone at actually doing what the apple products do, making and recieving calls. even in the most marginal of signals it naver fails to make or recieve a call.

As i said before flashing the device to wm6.5 was a breeze but when i press the ALT button to access ALT functions... it won't work. I press Ctrl to access the ALT functions... Why? is that normal?

Hey all you smart people.

I hope some of you have a helping hand you can reach out and help me here. I have a Kaiser (obviously) and it has been working perfectly for almost 2 years now. But all of a sudden today i stopped working for me. Its not completely dead and it boots nicely but when its done it stuck with almost a white screen. . Its not the screen cause as you see when i slide the keypad out it reveals some of the real screen on the right but i still cant do anything or press anything. If anybody have an idea or have heard or seen this before please help me. I have search and can't seem to find anyone with the same problem but maybe this is the place to get help.

Thanks in advance.

[FIX][SKIN] VGA NOTIFICATION FIX FOR "Max Manila 2.1919xxx Ultimate - v1.0 "

Im one of the users not moving over to 2.5 yet because of the lack of landscape support. Im jealous because of the great customization available by using max manila. Ive decided to stick with Sense 2.1 until the new 2.51922xxx is ported over. In the max manila thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4387068&postcount=5 there is a cab to install a limited version of max manila for sense 2.1 but its only for WVGA, thus the notifcation buttons are not accessible. This fix brings the notification icons higher for us VGA users.

This cab:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=235116&d=1254932008

must be installed before installing the fix.

This has been tested so far only on the latest EnergyROM 'Phoenix 2' (21885)|Dec 21|Sense 2.1/Titanium.

Known problems: Does not work with Kamills compact manila due to clash of manila files.

The original icons that come with this version of max manila are:View attachment 263676

I use these icons though...

View attachment 263866

if you to want these icons, the download is at the bottom

Instructions:

Zip files: Unzip, copy file/s to windows. Overwrite if necessary. Restart Sense.

Cab Files: Install to device

(thanks to Maxycy for Max manila and everyone involved in the porting of the new manila's :))
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] lyu370:
Tried it on the Dec 24 28011 EnergyROM. Doesn't seem to do anything. I'm getting what looks to be the WVGA screen. No notification icons display.

Although I did notice that the Dec 24 version is running Sense 2.1 1920, could that be the problem?

yep, its only for 2.1919 unfortunately

Does some know how to access HTC diamond 2 zoom bar ?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SnackMasterX:
I am having a problem with my phone and I'm sure there is a solution for it but I must not be using proper keywords to pull up posts. So I went through the first time flasher's guide and followed it all perfectly, got hardSPL flashed, resynced my phone then flashed the new ROM and it booted fine the first time and I was making a call then my phone turned off, rebooted once and claimed my battery was low which I know it isn't because it was a fully charged battery when I began all this, then it died again and hasn't booted since. I tried plugging it in to my computer's USB port and the charge light does not turn on. If I hold the softkeys and press the reset button or the power button (regardless of it being unplugged and running on battery) it comes up with the screen asking if I wish to restore factory defaults. When I do this it makes no difference in the device booting. When I press the power button the green light will remain solid for a short amount of time then turn off. I don't want to think this is a bad flash because it did work for a bit of time and I was going around and messing with settings and such, is there another possible reason for this and is there a way I can restore my phone to either stock FW or a different CFW?

The CFW I flashed can be found here

Thanks in Advance!

It was a faulty battery, it had dents in it and I didn't happen to think that the cell inside the battery got damaged, got a new battery in there and its working great now.

You have to

2) use the European version of the nbh file (if your phone is European)

3) if you get stuck at the rainbow screen - take out the battery, put it back and reboot again. I was also stuck but battery out and in helped

Rooting UK phone in USA

I bought a t-mobile g1 in London but am now back in the US. I have this same build of Android, but am not sure which set of directions to follow. I'm inclined to follow the US directions because this is where I'll be using the phone but is there something specific to the hardware that would make me want to use the UK instructions?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
To root, simply use AndRoot, available in the Market :D It even flashes you a custom recovery!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LJP1111:
Hi everyone

I was really having trouble rooting my UK G1 with 1.6 and version DRC92

Now it's rooted, the only problem is that after all the different methods, goldcard, superuser & simply copying the RC file with different SD cards, the latter finally worked for me.

DISCLAIMER​

this could damage/break your phone and encourage a permenant loss of data - I am in now way responsible for the lost of data AND/OR damage to your phone in any way, shape or form​

Here we go

- Backup EVERYTHING on your PHONE & SD CARD, if this does work, there's NO going back

-Put you're sd card (mine was in this case a no-name 2Gb mSD card) into an mSD to SD adapter and insert it into you're PC

- Right click your card in my computer & choose format

- Make sure the following are checked - FAT 32, Default allocation size @ 4096 and then check quick format (Make sure above all the FAT32 as my card ended up just as FAT for some reason)

-Download the same RC7 as me – EDIT see post #4 of this very thread! that's where I got it from!!

- I was using winrar, get the free version to be on par with me.

- Open the archive, extract it DIRECTLY to the root of the newly formatted sd card, NOT in ANY folders (The name of the file is correct, please dont extract it first and then copy, you must extract it directly)

- Once again, backup ANY IMPORTANT data from you're phone's internal storage (see disclaimer above)

- Turn off your phone

- Take out your mSD card from the computer

- Put it into your phone

- Hold down the camera button, then press the power button

- Recovery mode should start and a prompt to press power to install update

- When you press power, your phone will be downgraded to 1.0

Note: I had absolutely no luck before, couldn't get it to work, tried goldcard and was going to buy a 2Gb kingson card as I heard it worked with no probs. Then bang, this worked.

I think the main points are: As UK or EU phones we need to use RC7 (whereas some guides are using RC29 with US phones – this can be confusing), the freshly and precisely formatted mSD card in a sd adapter AND above all extracting the RC7 file STRAIGHT to the card whereas before I was extracting it to and then copying it from my hard drive.

Once you have downgraded, you can use the unlockr’s guide to activating over wifi on their site (again I can’t post links, google it or find it on the unlockr’s site>how to’s>Android>HTC Dream/G1>How to activate G1 without a data plan)

I'd be interested to know if this works now for someone else, let me know as I have written myself a guide on how I proceeded once downgrading to 1.0 so just PM me.

Thanks to XDA and unlockr for helping me through!

It seems its a bit hit and miss!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichieLion:
After hours trying it did work for me, AFTER I reversed the numbers in the "making a goldcard" procedure in sets of 2! So e.g. 123456 becomes 563412 and not 654321!! Don't forget to replace the first two digits in zeroes.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
Do people feel that Coreplayer on the HD2 is sufficiently much better than TCPMP that it justifies the price premium?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puremind:
In my opinion not really:

Does not read MKV files / H264 in spite of claim to do so (this is a huge let down)

streaming support is lacking (Windows Player can read streams that Coreplayer can't).

If you want to manage your music library there are other alternatives
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
No, useless in my opinion. WMP or HTC Album do a better job.

CorePlayer:

- is very old (the developer never seriously updated the current version and is also unable to deliver a v2).

- No hardware acceleration,

- cannot play AC3,

- cannot play MKV,

- cannot play real HD movies,

- has no recent codecs,

- has a very old interface.

It's a dying software.

Kinoma Play is much more promissing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DMAND:
QFE

Serriously htc album and wmp can play video better on the hd2 than coreplayer can, and version 2 is coming soon :rolleyes: yup soooooooon (yawn)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
There's no question that HTCAlbum and Media Player do a better job on video formats they actually support, but that's not many. I need something to play back downloaded xvids as well. TCPMP doesn't do too bad a job, but I'm wondering how much of an improvement I'd see with CorePlayer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
Actually there's one other possible issue when comparing with HTCAlbum and PMP besides format-compatibility and that's colour adjustment; TCPMP allows some tweaking of the video decoding - brightness, contrast, saturation, and white balance. The colour temperature on my HD2 is shifted quite badly to blue, so playback using TCPMP looks better if I can dial the blue down a bit. This option isn't available in HTCAlbum, and I haven't yet found it in Pocket Media Player (although I haven't looked very hard).

There's an additional problem in TCPMP, here, in that what appears to be the optimum combination of settings for maximum Benchmark framerate also happens to be one that disallows any video adjustments except brightness. (It disables dithering as well). The settings in question: use DirectDraw as renderer, then choose YUY2 as your overlay format, uncheck "use colorkey" and "use blitting" and check "use device stretching". If I switch to using RGB overlays instead of YUY2 then all the colour adjustment controls come back, but playback is much less smooth.

I assume Coreplayer has similar issues, but if it's sufficiently much faster in terms of basic performance then a colour-adjustable format may still play faster than an non-adjustable one in TCPMP.

So, what sort of performance difference is there? I'm guessing the difference is smaller than it would be on (say) a Touch HD because there's no HD2 equivalent to using QTV overlays...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Gandalf67:
Hi

I use CorePlayer very often, and my opinion is: drag & drop Your (not compressed) *.avi file on memory card and enjoy fine quality on almost full screen resolution. About music: choose folder with Your music (mp3) , select all files and put headphones on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vangrieg:
CorePlayer is miles better than TCPMP, there is absolutely no doubt about it. Yet it has annoying limitations, so it's miles away from being perfect or even excellent. Such is the sad state of affairs with regard to video playback on mobile devices that CorePlayer is the best we have... At least we have it on WM, iPhone and Android don't even come close.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] creiz:
I used coreplayer for as long as I can remember. OK it's not PERFECT. but it does the job VERY nicely. No other program I tried, for the kick of it, made the job like coreplayer can.

You can dump it from your device before you flash a custom rom, and then rebuild a "stock" rom with the dumps with ervius kitchen...

Then if you need to send it back for warranty, you can flash the stock rom, then the stock spl, and you are good to go!

That is IF you can flash back, ie your screen and your usb port are still working... :(
