RE

Ok i did a factory reset with the two soft keys and the power button, but its still having trouble working propery. I can get it to boot all the way, but I need to get into boot loader to flash tmobiles basic rom. I press the camera button next to the space bar and hit the power button and it boots up, it doesnt go into bootloader. I read somewhere hold the camera button and plugged it into the USB is still no bootloader. is there any other way I can get into boot loader?
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
repeat it again.. but without the battery..
[HD2 General] cheetah2k:
I just saw a TG01 running winmo 6.5.3 at CES and it looked impressive. Small changes and nice onscreen push buttons at the bottom of each page for easy pressing.

I wonder if the HD2 will get it??
[HD2 General] brinlarden:
already has it. head over to the rom section, bro.
[HD2 General] dashrink:
Dude you could have just searched instead of posting a new thread.
[HD2 General] bukwit:
I believe the OP meant officially rather than a cooked rom.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
wow

oops, ignore pls
[HD2 General] cheetah2k:
Show me the thread dcik head. Theres nothing in here about official ROMS sporting 6.5.3 for the HD2
[HD2 General] Jammie_1989:
Haha love how people just jump in to try make you feel bad.
[HD2 General] Archer:
There's nothing in the OP about wanting an official version of 6.5.3. It just says 6.5.3. So, he's right. Searching will find it. If you do want an official version, you'll have to wait until it's released. You may still not get it then anyway. It will be down to your provider.
[HD2 General] jakem:
I hope not. If HTC are going to put any effort into a new version of WM then I hope it will be WM7 rather than 6.5.3 :D
[HD2 General] tonyjansen:
Where did the thread starter mention that he has a provider locked phone?

This thread is full of rudeness and irrational answers. A mod might as well lock it.
[HD2 General] Archer:
And pointless comments that do not help the OP in the slightest. Don't fan the flames.
[HD2 General] tonyjansen:
Disagree, my question about where the thread starter mentioned that he has a provider locked phone is relevant in the light of at least one irrelevant answer.

But thank you for your pointless comment.
[HD2 General] le_paulo:
Back OT - My bold prediction is that HTC won't bother with 6.5.3 but will issue more and more patches for current issues and then present something more advanced at a later stage, probably in the middle of the year.

I have absolutely no factual (or even fictional) basis for the above assertion but it seems entirely reasonable. I feel it in my gut.

Shoot me down if you wish but at least I'm OT. :D
[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
Same as above, I don't think HTC is going to bother with 6.5.3 (or rather, I'd like them to pay to make actual proper drivers instead of OS updates); in any case, when/if an official release of Windows 6.5.3 is out you'll prolly be able to find it in the ROM section, xda being, you know, xda.

As for personal experience, 6.5.3 transformed my device into a trainwreck (a shiny trainwreck with huge buttons) with all relevant cooked roms as of 5 days ago, making me swiftly retreat to a cooked 6.5.0. Of course, it depends of what you do with it (if you want a device you can rely on and consider stable or not). Your mileage may vary.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
I got my Hero delivered on 10th December and was very impressed. Fast, smooth, supercool; a really nice phone. I didn't get my number ported until 6th Jan, which is when I found out it didn't ring...:-(

I phoned Orange who ran some diagnostics and confirmed the phone was faulty and promised to send a new one, which I received on Friday morning (8th).

This phone is COMPLETELY different. It has a really annoying rattle around the top end (I investigated this and it appears many of you have the same - lens rattle apparently), but it's also much slower and laggy - it doesn't even play Teeter without graphics lag. When I scroll through pages there is a definite lag while the graphics play catch up with my fingers.

How can this be? They're both the same phones, same network, same build, same programs, etc. I feel another call to Orange coming on...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] immya:
try updating the operating system, it could have the original rom, not the new faster official one
[Hero, G2 Touch General] spacecat:
will that stop the LENS rattle ...wow thats an amazing rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdisanza:
Sounds like a poorly repaired REFERB to me. Contact Orange again and tell em you want a NEW replacement, not a REFERB.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] welshboy09:
No it wont stop the lens rattle as thats a hardware fault. Mine does the same. I cant notice it until i bang my phone or shake it really hard though. Might be worth taking the cover off and just jamming a TINY piece of paper in there
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
Well, I spoke with Orange this evening and they assure me the 2nd phone was new....

I did get a very friendly and helpful chap who was very put out that I'd got 2 dodgy phones and he agreed to send another tomorrow morning. :-)

I'll let you know how I get on.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
OK, 3rd Hero was delivered on 12th Jan...with a faulty orientation sensor! It is 6 degrees out in two directions.

4th Hero is being delivered tonight, wish me luck guys...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] farukb:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] xinos:
I am amazed at you even getting a third one. But a fourth one, wow..... That's what i call service
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ruizit0:
dude maybe destini doenst want that you have an hero :\

try a nokia :\

lol
[Hero, G2 Touch General] farukb:
Did you know that they ban people who say N*kia and iP*one words:P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
OK, here's the thing. When I buy a new item I want it to work properly. If it doesn't work properly I take it back and get another. And I will keep doing that until I get one that works. Anybody who is willing to accept a substandard product from any manufacturer is partly responsible for the decline in worldwide build quality. The more people are willing to accept sub-standard goods as the norm, the less manufacturers care about whether the products work or not.

As for service; yes, Orange have now replaced my phone 3 times and every time their customer service has been excellent. Their call centres are domestic (which gets them a LOT of brownie points in my opinion), and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful.

The only real downside is that on 2 of the 3 occasions they tried to replace my handset with a refurb. Personally, I cannot see any reason why, because my handset was delivered faulty, I have to settle for a 2nd hand, pre-owned phone. I pay for brand new, I want brand new. Is that such a big deal?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] callummr:
It was 6 degrees out? Pretty much every accelerometer is slightly off, what was wrong with using calibration?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
The calibration tool made no difference. I would run the calibration procedure and the virtual bubbles would settle central as they should. A couple of seconds later they would jump off-centre, always to the same place. I ran a few experiments using diagnostic software, and 2 of the 3 orientation sensors were consistently 6 degrees adrift, and would not calibrate.

I have a colleague at work who has a Hero and this did not happen on his phone. If his was the same I would have accepted it as normal, but it wasn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] farukb:
don't take me wrong,i totally agree with you and i encourage what you are doing...you gave them money=>they have to be nice and forthcoming
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
Don't worry, no offence taken. :-)

I know I'm a fussy f***er, but I believe these things have to be right. Part of my job is customer relations for an electronics manufacturing firm, so I do understand that faulty new goods are an inevitable thing. But the customer should not be the one who has to suffer for it.

I do my utmost to make sure that my customers get exactly what they pay for, and I'm pleased to see that Orange are exhibiting a similar principle. A far cry from H3G...

hey guys, i am currently using darkdream (flashed via CM UPDATER) well i now installed advanced launcher and need to flash the advanced launcher version of his theme.

I so downloaded it and it comes as a zip file, i put that on the root of my sd card and then in recovery try and flash from zip.

Best Buy has a ~2ft USB cable with a mini plug (same as G1) on it but it comes with a mini to micro adapter. I dont know about data on it but it works great with existing mini wall and car chargerrs. The adapter is only about 1" long. The one that I bought at Best Buy was 14.99 and made by rocketfish. Only one I could find with an adapter.

If you have a fry's store nearby, go there. I think you can find mini-micro adapters as well as micro-usb cables. Plus, Frys sells these things at far lower prices than bestbuy.

[HD2 General] Jacky Rogue:
Hello guys, im new to the forum and this type of phone so pardon me if i come across ignorant i can assure you this is not through arrogance, i have searched the website for 2days and could not find any advice on this matter and get this message 99% of the time! "Connection error while attempting to download weather data, retry?" (keeps happening no matter how many times i retry)

I have tried hard reset, soft reset even changed my network thinking the data reception was bad but this still seems to be the case where ever i am positioned with my phone.

This is an awesome phone, but an incredibly consuming one that can be frustrating at times! without the guys on this forum I dont think I would have lasted one day!

Any help would be much appreciated!
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
Make sure your 3G settings do not include "this network connects through a proxy".
[HD2 General] liva:
i have the same problem and already do that but nothing, always the connection error too!
[HD2 General] gdayhtc:
just a question, you have problem with the connection only when you are trying to download weather update?
[HD2 General] cfu:
Hi,

I get this issue depending on my location. At my home I will get this message, but when I am at my office in Birmingham, it would update the my location weather no problems.

I think that if the place you are trying to get weather data for, is not on the database, then it will give an error. Because the software is not intelligent enough to find the 'nearest' place to your location.

The other problem can be caused by your telecoms, and how your 3g data is routed. As other have mentioned, this might be fixed with the proxy setting.

Oh, and I think you need to be receiving a 3g signal for this to work, I've never seen it work over GPRS...

To be honest, I've disabled the auto updating feature of this now. Because if I really needed to know about the weather of 'my location', I can always take a peek outside! :P
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Sorry that you can't find any information on this. I'm surprised as I think it could possibly be the 2nd most asked question on here behind the old issues with slow SMS delivery. Here a summary of my understanding.

A local Cell tower is used to provide My Location data. Not all locations can be automatically updated Using My Location but most (can be automatically updated by adding the location to a list. A data connection is required and you need to enable Google location services.

It is known behavour for the My Location to all of a sudden start working when you are out and about as your phone connects to a different cell tower in a different location. I for one cannot get My Location dataq in Cheltenham but when I go to Gloucester I can get around 4 different "locations" on my way to work.

There was talk that part of this might be related to multiple locations having the same name and this causing problems with My Location selecting the correct data from the Accuweather database.

Hope this helps a bit althoughn I doubt we will get a fix.

I cannot currently remember if people with different service providers have different behavours with this service.
[HD2 General] kjettern:
I got the same problem after using the Sim Contacts Fix... Found out that the stupid update changed the connection and told it to use a proxy server! Check if ur phone did the same thing as mine!
[HD2 General] pastypacker:
I can get my updates no probs without 3g, have no 3g coverage at the house at all, but what I have found is that when the weather would not work properly, and was giving the wrong location, I logged onto google maps, got a gps fix, and now the weather gives a spot on location, a very small village, that i would doubt being in any database.

I reckon weather pulls the location from the gps fix in googlemaps...

Just a thought.........
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
I think that is a slightly differemt issue caussing a similar effect. This issue has been around since the firat HD2 was released and mostly related to MyLocation successfully updating when in one area and not in another, with the same connectivity settings.

Regards.
[HD2 General] impished:
to OP...

I too have failed to find a proper resolution to the "connection error...".

I know it can work on my phone, as I've seen it work perfectly around Devon & Bournemouth, both indoors and outdoors.

IMHO, it's definately a problem with Accuweather's database, regardless of connection type.

I used Duttys Disable Current Location cab to switch the pointless thing off.

Maybe one day someone will find a way to make it work for everywhere.
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi,

Im interested. How do you get your weather updates? Are you using Wifi or do you believe that it is all done via GPS? Now a silly question, sorry. Do you now have your village as a defined location or is it only "My Location" that is automatically updating?

Regards.
[HD2 General] pastypacker:
At home, im using wifi, thelocation im referring to is the one that shows on the home screen after update, the nearest defined location that can be searched for is over 60 miles away in Plymouth.

I will try a non wifi update when i walk the dog again later, and see what that brings.....
[HD2 General] Jacky Rogue:
Yes all other apps and data features work like a dream, including google maps,
[HD2 General] gdayhtc:
well i have the same thing here...happens to me as well, i was thinking may be it is acuweather and our current location. Having said that i have not changed any thing in my 3 g connections. 50% of the tome works. so i am not really fussed about it
[HD2 General] XTREEM|RAGE:
To the OP (and anyone), please also report this issue to HTC self via their website. If they know about this issue, maybe they can make a fix for it :).
[HD2 General] cem_ari:
I had same problem and tried these:

Switched to airplane mode and wifi on. Tried update and successfully updated.

Switched to phone on wifi off. Tried update and not updated.

Removed all cities. Tried update for my location and successfully updated.

Added some cities. Tried update and not updated.

Weird:confused:
[HD2 General] Yevgeniy276:
For me the weather location is working generally fine, even if often it doesn't recognize a town (smaller ones) and instead shows "My Location" instead of a name. The update is only working when I have EDGE or 3G coverage (or WiFi), not when only GPRS.

What is very strange for me is, that when not on WiFi (then all works fine), i.e. when on the phone network, it updates well some cities, and some won't (the ones which won't are two of the cities I added in the beginning to the list, i.e. Geneva and Nuremberg). All other cities I added work well for the updated. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I added them at a specific moment. When I deleted these cities and put them back in the list it won't help. I wonder if you can reset the weather program without making a hard reset, in order to see if it would help.
