[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
OK if you live in the UK you have NO excuse to moan.

If you feel this bad about the phone, use your consumer rights and return it to the retailer.

You have the right to a defect free product for a reasonable time. A defect is a defect, small (tiny scratch underneath the battery cover) to a phone that won't phone. Any defect is a defect.

Timeframe: You have a "reasonable" time to return the product. As the phone is sold under a 24month contract you can easily argue that the phone should last 24months.

The ONLY way you will get HTC to release a near perfect product is by returning the phone and forcing the retailer to repair it/replace/refund. HTC will bear the brunt of this.

As long as you didn't buy the phone from Ebay/local paper advert/mate down the pub, you CAN return it. Remember, you have a VERY strong case for 18 to 24 months even if you didn't buy it "on contract". You have to allow the retailer (NOT HTC) 28 days to repair or replace. When they fail, you can then demand a refund. If they refuse, you need to use the Small Claims website. Google Sales Of Goods Act and USE it!

So, either return it or STFU or try to help resolve the issue(s).

If you live in a country with poor consumer protection (USA maybe?!) then contact your local mp/senate member and use your vote!

(Btw, im not sure on this but, if you live in Germany for example and purchased from a UK shop, I think you are still covered under UK law - although you should double check this.)

edit: and when you talk to the retailer, make sure you mention the Sales of Goods act - they will instantly pay attention. They pray on ignorance and don't listen to that 10 days BS on the Expansys website either, thats against Sales of Goods Act law.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
then act like one, use your powers, tell HTC you are not happy and return the product (see my previous post)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
But is isn't a device with 'a given task', it's a device that can perform hundreds of different tasks, , one of which is phone capabilities. If you wanted a phone, you should have bought a phone. The HD2 lineage is descended more from PDA's than phones, remember, the phone functions are an add on.

As someone else posted, we all(well, most of us) have computers that need updates every week, give or take. I bought mine to play Unreal tournament on, , is that then its 'given task'? and can i complain if it has a low framerate? no, because it is a multifunction device. Had I bought an X-Station Wii and the frame rate was bad, i'd have a complaint.
[HD2 General] hx4700 user:
I've had my HD2 since the second day available in the UK and I am not unhappy. I came from WM2003SE so I knew what I was getting.

The main features rarely fail, I don't get laggy text (and I am part of everyone), it doesn't often lose data connection (and never such that I have had to reboot). I've never had to take the battery out, but have had to reset it after installing unsigned software.

So it seems you have a bad phone - it will happen from time to time - read the posts and if you can, return it to the vendor. If it came from mobilephones direct, I am gobsmacked that they didn't force an insurance contract down your throat. If they did, or you can still sign up, then your accidental damage is of no import.

There is of course the chance that the drop has dislodged a connection and that is causing some of your problems. From the thousands of posts I have read, most are happy with their HD2 but would like more.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
Yes it is. Anything it ships with, is its given task. What does the O/S ship with? Phone? Yes. Media player? yes. Map software? Yes.... and so on. You can easily argue that, should Solitaire crash all the time that its returnable. What you may struggle with is if Need For Speed crashes as it doesn't ship with this.

It should perform all those functions it shipped with without defect. If the device a person has does not do what it should do "out of the box" then you can return it - under UK Sales of Goods Act.
[HD2 General] jakem:
Sorry but this just doesn't make sense. If you're not having any problems then how can you say that the device is inherently flawed? Which flaws have you experienced that would make you say that? Are you going to ignore your own experience and claim it's flawed because others tell you that it is?

As leftkats said, what is the point of crying out that you hate your HD2 without providing anyone with any information that might help solve your problems? A post like this really doesn't deserve a response because it's only designed as a rant. Seriously, how could anyone solve the OP's problems based on the information in this thread?
[HD2 General] jakem:
Good luck with that argument. Although I appreciate the spirit that it was meant in you'd have to take that argument to court because no manufacturer will accept it. I wouldn't imagine there'd be too many people who are willing to go to that much trouble over a phone ;)
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
And you are EXACTLY the sort of person they prey on.

Aprilia tried to tell me my wheel paint wasn't covered under warranty. They were right! However, I quickly pulled the sales of goods act on them ...... and hey presto...

a very rare Italian masterpiece had brand new front wheel! Thats value was only £250 yet you won't argue on a £500 phone?
[HD2 General] jakem:
Well you can try it but I'd say that it's easier to argue your rights over an issue with one wheel than with a computer with numerous applications.

To be honest, I've never really felt "preyed" on but I'll be watching my back from now on :D
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
really? It was nothing but cosmetic damage. A phone that won't phone.... thats pretty functional!

I've also used the sales of goods act to return a Touch Diamond as it wouldn't play music properly. I've had goods replaced via Expansys when they tried to tell me go away and i've also had 2+years of subscriptions returned from Sky - i've spoken to BOTH MD's via email. If you know your rights and are prepared to send a couple of letters (and I do mean a couple!) you can make companies like HTC understand we are not saps that will take sub-par. In the UK you have the power and the right! I'm currently living in South Africa and you should see the kak they get given as standard products and have no rights!!!!

You can either just be a sap (not intended as a personal insult, please don't take it that way) or actually stand up for yourself. Your choice.....
[HD2 General] jakem:
:D Great line.

Really though, I never considered myself to the manor born but my phone is perfectly stable and never crashes on a regular basis. I may have had the odd crash here and there but it's almost always caused by some sort of third party software locking up. WinMo and Sense both seem perfectly stable to me.

I don't spend too much time tweaking it and try to limit the registry hacks I apply. Maybe that's what keeps everything working for me?

As to your other complaints, I agree that the SMS problem is an issue for big SMS users like you. HTC obviously never stress-tested the application properly and it's a shame that they keep on getting this wrong. Hopefully the new 1.66 ROM will finally correct this. As to the keyboard, I don't generally have any problems with it although I don't tend to use it for speed tests. By the way, zounds is a word - it's an archaic exclamation. From memory it's slightly blasphemous but used in much the same way as someone might say "Jesus H Christ" today :)
[HD2 General] reeco:
My hero, you have summed up everything I was thinking in my head. I'd love to see a responce to this from some of these wm fangirls on this forum. What a legend. you have made my day :)
[HD2 General] onkeldunkel:
Well put my friend - I could not agree more... It's amazing that HTC can release a phone in 2010 with so many obvious flaws. I really like the hardware too and that was why I initially bought the phone and I thought WM had improved since I had my Qtek 9100 in 2006, but NO...

In general "I hate my phone" threads neither contribute solutions to problems nor do they seek answers to problems in a calm and reasoned way.

These forums are for the giving and receiving of information that assists users to get the best from their device - it is not a vehicle for "sounding-off" about your phone.

This thread does have some useful content, so I will not delete it but will close it as relevant points have already been made.

No dotted lines, no date no am pm no alarm no calendar no call history.

I removed all of these from the home screen. The touch spot for the call history and calendar still exist on the screen. But as you can see the words are all off the home screen. Try the cab.

I am using Mighty Rom on my Sprint CDMA Rhodium (Touch Pro 2)

If it does not work just uninstall. I think I fiuxed for German, English and spanish. This is a project I worked on for TP1 and just did this for TP2. The english control file for removal is 590ad244_manila. I altered this file and then edited manila to remove some of the icons related to the home screen calendar, alarm and call history.

In thoery with the control file and a few more edits we could remove the clock as well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ahhhhwhoa:
could you post your background also if possible. I like it alot.

[HD2 General] paulking:
first off apologies for the almost identical thread about sky mobile however this is a vodafone issue not t-mobile so i thought i should make a thread for VF instead of raiding the t-mob thread..

basicly i want to get the skysports package on vodafone...apparently there is some complication caused by vodafone ignoring the fact they have customers which own the leo - ****s!

has anyone managed to get this on there phone as vodafone live won't let me go on the website using the phone for the reason i stated above.

cheers.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
im on vodafone but am not interested in any of the vodafone live features so i havent tried this but have you tried connecting to live using the vodafone contract wap access point instead of contract internet?

It is worth giving it a go as this works to get iplayer streaming over 3g/hsdpa on vodafone connections.

if you connect to iplayer using the normal contract internet access point then iplayer doesnt recognise that you are using a vodafone connection and therefore wont stream.

could work for live services also
[HD2 General] paulking:
just tried but it still didnt work, i'll have to call them at some point...

what is the difference between contract wap and contract internet if you dont mind me asking a stupid question lol

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PsicoPete:
Hello all,

First of all I have to say that I'm a friggin noob when it comes to WM6.5 and HTC Sense PDAs.

I just bought a Diamond2 a few days ago and am trying to transfer files from my laptop to TD2 using bluetooth. On the laptop I have Bluesoleil (***.bluesoleil.com) managing my BT connections, and when I connect the TD2 it doesn't show File transfer service as available, but it it turned on on Bluesoleil. How can I activate this service on TD2? It would really help to have working.

Thank you all in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] djg269:
Why dont u use the cable? it works much faster.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PsicoPete:
I usually do, but I don't always carry all cables around so it would be an alternative for those times. Anyway you didn't answer my initial question: What must I do to enable file transfers via BT?

Thank you.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] fighter7139:
Don't make a connection. Just activate Bluetooth (both devices), set Topaz's Bluetooth visible to other devices and select from your laptop file send via bt.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hungtinglung:
enable OBEX File Transfer Service.

you can use TD2 Tools 2d.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kiousuke:
Use resco explorer with ftp plugin or total commander for mobile, and a ftp server on your pc, there are some good free servers available out there. Belive me WiFi is faster than bluetooth.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ramdroid77:
Bluetooth File transfer is not installed on TD2 by default. You need to install it manually (Bluetooth explorer, try search). That's the way I did it first but I don't know which file you have to download.... too long ago. An even better solution is try to find a custom ROM which already contains the BTFTP packages. But then you first have to find out how to flash ROMs ;)
[HD2 General] Beards:
Guys,

Am in need of some desperate help.

Up until tonight all was well with the HD2.

However, for some unknown reason every time I now launch Opera it changes the name of my Storage Card to Storage Card 2 which you then can not enter in Resco Explorer and in place creates a new folder named Storage Card and places 2 folders inside:-

OperaCache (with 264 files within)

Inbox.numbers (and inside this folder Mail Attachements which is empty).

What this means is because it has changed the name of the Storage Card I can't access any of my installed applications/photos/videos/music...nothing.

If you then soft-reset, as it is rebooting it is looking for items in the content of Storage Card but Storage Card was renamed and the consequence is the phone doesn't boot up correctly.

The only 'tempory remedy' (until I next use Opera) is when the Phone has finished rebooting, I launch Resco Explorer, Rename Storage Card to Storage Card 3 and again soft-reset.

This time when the Phone reboots Storage Card 2 (the real Storage Card) is renamed back to it's original name of Storage Card and the Phone boots up normally.

All seems well until I then load Opera again ........ which then goes through the whole process over again in renaming Storage Card and creating another.. etc. etc.

Help... help... help.

This is more than annoying as it is effecting my work and here we are talking patient care which is of paramount importance to me.

Note:

I have tried rolling back the system to a previous Backup point using Sprite Backup but no matter which Restore file I select once the system reboots to this restore point and I again launch Opera it does the same thing over again.
[HD2 General] stratplayer:
I got the same, it was because I had changed the cache location to the SD Card, but when I had the device plugged in via USB in Disk Mode it stops the phone seeing the SD Card.

I just moved the cache back to the phone, and the problem goes away!
[HD2 General] Beards:
Are you talking about Cache Directory4 in the Opera:Config?

Edited:

Many thanks statplayer. Initial findings show this may have cured the problem.

I'll be doing some testing later tomorrow when I get up (bed time now).

The only thing I am totally baffled about is I did the Cache Directory switch to Storage Card quite some time back.

Since then I have used Opera and the rest of the system every day without any problems.

What's made it all of a sudden decide it wanted to react today and not on the day I first changed the Cache area???????

Obviously this I would love to know.

Anyway, if this has cured the problem I owe you a debt of thanks. :)

Will report back tomorrow.

In the meantime ~ Guys if you can offer any further advice on why it's not played up before, please chip in.

[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
I had exactly the same issue in the situation specified regarding changing the Opera cache location to the storage card, accessing Opera with the USB plugged in (not activesync mode), and disconnecting the USB card then causing the phone to call the ACTUAL SD card "Storage Card 2" because Opera had already stolen the name.

It did cause a panick at first!
[HD2 General] Beards:
What I don't though is that I did this tweak quite some time back and until yesterday all was well.

I connect via USB daily and the same with Opera. Not once did I receive any errors.

Something triggered this all off and I would be grateful to whoever who can explain any reason why yesterday it all went 'pear-shaped' and played up.

Thanks Guys. :)

I have a Dash 3G that can successfully connect to my home network. My issue is that I am trying to use file explorer to enter a UNC path, but it is no where to be found.

I even noticed that the keypad is missing the '\' button. I would love to be able to get to my music from my phone.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Bupahs:
Use Total Commander or Resco instead.

The \ can be found by hitting the SYM key ( the pound sign # )

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darchstar:
I did a quick google search about this, and what i concludeed was that you could probably swap the /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your current rom with the one from fresh. i haven't tested it out, but i think it should work.
