[HD2 General] Mido:
after i got my hd2 i used a screen protector to avoid scratches and i clean it so easy just rubbing it in my shirt and thats it, but guys how to clean the edges and the speaker and buttons parts ?
[HD2 General] fi3ry_icy:
all this method of cleaning the screen is with consideration that u guys have a screen protector on right?

other then the microfiber method, all other method is scratch inducing and sooner or later a scratch will appear on the screen..

Hello,

I was trying to put UBCD (ultimate boot cd) on a usb stick using the supplied 'ubcd2usb' but it didn’t work, so I thought I would use the command 'ubcd2usb f: h: d -1', but nothing appeared to happen….until I restarted.

Some how it has made my 1.5TB hdd with all my stuff on from the past 10 years…not work, for lack of a better term. That command i put in wrote the ubcd to disk 1 which was the 1.5tb hdd not the usb memory stick! But it didnt write the ubcd to the disk it just made it 'unfunctional'

I also did 'ubcd2usb f: h: d -2' which made disk 2 (the 750gb hdd with windows on it) also unfunctional.

I have another 300gb disk with windows on which I didnt wipe fortunately. So When I go into computer management it says the disk is not initialised for both of the 1.5tb and .75tb disks. I know the datas all there but how do I get it back in too a readable state? I can only presume this program to get 'ultimate boot cd' has done something to teh MBR.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have not re-initialized the disk. There are 10yrs worth of photos tv music on there!

I know i could use software to recover my data.

I presume this would mean I would have to 're-initialize' the hard disk in Windows Disk Management?

I am scared that if I reinitialize it and use recovery software that all the filenames will be lost.

Is there anyway I can just write a new MBR to them?
[General Topics] useyourfist:
first i would plug into a computer with a differnt os i know it sound pointless but i have had problems before and xp seems better then vista for "seeing" files.

if that is no help i would try to use a program called glary utilites it has a program to recover deleted files which. you can then to see the location of the files, deleted or not. then decide where to go from there,

hopefully someone whith more tech know how can help more.
[General Topics] josefcrist:
before you do anything else you need to get some data recovery software. I use get "data back". it was totally worth the money.
[General Topics] rahulelectra:
I faced similar sutiation 2 months back... some of my partitions dissappeared which had datya of 9 years....

I used Diskinternals and recovered all my data.. you can try 'get data back'..

PM me if ya need ne help.

And please dont use the hardisk on which u lost data. take another system, connect your data (lost) HDD and install diskinternals recovery software.. and run teh self explanatory wizard.
[General Topics] TrYde:
You can try testdisk. This tool can fix broken MBR and recover partitions.

[General Topics] superevilllama:
+5 on testdisk. A small free program that is a miracle. I deleted a partition at a business that I was working for and wiped all customer data. Testdisk brought the partition right back.

Key thing is to not right over the data. Its still there, just marked for deletion.

Got a HD2 on a plan with Telstra a few days ago. I see it has potential, but it has been a far from smooth experience.

I got rid of the locked icons on the home screen pronto as per the other thread here.

My remaining problems are as follows:

- I do not want to use the data connection for the internet. I assumed the HD2 was like the iPhone, in that when you turn off access to the internet via 3G, it is actually OFF. This little bastard connects to the internet when it deems necessary, often when I'm on a perfectly good WiFi connection. Is there any definitive method of disabling any other kind of connection to the internet except WiFi??

- I sync music from Songbird. I sync 5 albums, it's ok, I sync 5 more it's still fine. But when I get a good 50 or so albums on there, numerous problems ensue. Not all the albums and artists appear in my albums or artists list, only about 15 do. All the songs appear in the song list however, and it shows they're all correctly labelled so it's not a problem with the metadata, I'm meticulous with that. When I play a song, I get 15 seconds before Audio Manager or something to that effect crashes. In File Manager I can see all the artists/albums/songs nicely arranged in their folders, and they play in WMP fine, but who wants to use that?! What is the smoothest way to sync music?

I would consider flashing a new ROM if it would fix these issues. If I'm going to do that though, is there a copy of the original Telstra ROM anywhere I can reinstall in case of guarantee issues?
[HD2 General] Spike15:
So you bought a phone with a 3G antenna because you don't want to use cellular data.

O...K...

Also: My phone uses WiFi when WiFi is turned on and cellular data otherwise. I don't know that it uses WiFi exclusively, but...

What's everyone's aversion to WMP?

I love WMP -- both desktop and mobile.

I hate the Sense music player, because you have no control over songs showing up there, it has an iTunes-like feel, and because it doesn't spawn a process that appears in the Task Manager that I can kill without going all the way back to the Music Sense tab.
[HD2 General] mehunlimited:
He's talking about the Telstra Next-G release of the HD2. Telstra's HSPA network (they branded it Next-G) offers coverage to like 99% of the population or something in Australia, whereas their 2100MHz 3G and GSM/EDGE networks don't have nearly the same coverage. Also, Telstra only release non-3G phones on their pre-paid services now.

So, in conclusion, down here we live in a 3G utopia, and all we can just about get on Telstra are prettyful 3G phones. :P
[HD2 General] laserviking:
I bought the HD2 because I'm often in WiFi hotspots, and TBQH I enjoy the break from the internets on the train and on the street.

When I am on WiFi, the data connection turns itself on, I assume to send data via that route. I haven't got my first bill yet so we'll see about that.

Cause it's butt ugly and completely out of keeping with the rest of HTC sense.

In any case, has anyone else experienced problems with loading large amounts of music on their HD2? Though I would hardly call 50 albums 'large' in the grand scheme of things.

The QWERTY keyboard of my Kaiser broke down so I replaced it with the keyboard which has English keypad.

However, I'd like to know where to purchase a replacement Scandinavian keypad/keyboard for my Kaiser.

I'd really appreciate if someone could give me a hint or help me. Thanks in advance!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Sensonic:
There are Å, Ä and Ö letters when you push FN button + A or O etc.

I don't have any problems with the software but I'd like to find a Scandinavian keyboard pad to replace the English one. It's quite hard to memorize where to find those aforementioned letters...

[Omnia II General] junalmeida:
I have updated my ROM to IJ9 but the ****ing annoying bug still remain.

When I'm listening to music with wired headset, if the screen is off, music STOPS with no reason. This happens always, but with random times. Sometimes, minutes after screen goes off, sometimes one hour after.

It happens like the same with both TouchPlayer and WMP. But TouchPlayer have hiccups when the screen is off.

Closing and reopening the player, and replugging the wired headset seems to solve, BUT i don't want to do it everytime.

Anyone facing this bug?
[Omnia II General] kapica:
..sadly, it can only be solved by turning off the motion etiquette...

[Omnia II General] antonyw:
I think you're talking about the exact thing that's been really getting on my nerves too: music just stops for no reason but restarts when you press the on buttn, or music skips and jumps like a gramophone record! There is a huge post about this on the HTC forum, and even a little patch (sorry for not having a link for you.) But anyway, I tried the ptch on my B7610 and it didn't work. I see it says here to disable the motion protocol - how do you do that? I presume that's something to do with G-sensor. I'm surprised so few people have mentioned this problem, but it does seem to be a Win Mobile thing rather than a Samsung or HTC thing.

If the Mini-5 comes out in TMo flavor 3G, then I'll likely be getting it.
[HD2 General] gearoidol:
After 10 years of nokias the n97 finally pushed me over the edge and i am expecting my new hd2 in the post today.Just a question about updating it.After installing the new 1.66 rom do i have to install any other htc official updates or are they all included in the new rom?

Is there a way to check for new updates on the device or do you have to check the htc site all the time?

Also whats this i read about updating the radio.What does this do?
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Haha just like my story, my last Nokia was the N97 .. look what they did, they made us nokia users divert to another phone company.

Welcome aboard :)

Im not sure about the last question, but regarding the first, a fellow good user told me that you most likely not need the official updates, but you can check in the HTC support for the versions they support. Most of them are 1.59 or below, so in that case you dont need them :)

I think you need to check their support page, or the RSS feed there. Dont know if there is another way.

Hope I helped a bit.
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
1. First of all congrats to your decision to leave Nokia and move over to HTC - you'll never regret this, I guess... :D

2. Please use search-function in the future. You have only to install hotfixes that are needed for your ROM-version - so if e.g. on the HTC-page is written sth. like "needed for version <1.6" then you haven't to reinstall these hotfixes again with ROM 1.66 (installation wouldn't work anyway).

3. To check if there are new updates availabel, you have to visit HTC-website (support section) - you can put an RSS-feed onto your phone to check it also - this is my solution. Better it is to visit this thite here XDA-Developers often, and you'll get also informed and beneath this lot of feedback according the updates.

4. RADIO is the firmware for the receiver unit aso. - it is responsible for reception (GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS etc.), very important for battery consumption and also responsible for a couple of other things like sound (not sure about these other things to be honest).

Hope this helps for the beginning.

I was a devoted Nokia man for years, until one day I saw the Touch Diamond and was overcome with lust. I had my Diamond for a while, then a HD, and now the HD2. I can't imagine ever going back to Nokia now, but I'll always be fond of them.
[HD2 General] gregormax:
My story almost the same. I had some Nokias, the last one was N95 and I then I bought a HTC Touch Diamond which... I generally hated ;). But it had a great GPS receiver and was very small so I was using it quite a while (for a year I guess) and now I'm using HD2 and I'm very happy with it although at first I was a little bit sceptic as I wasn't happy with my Diamond. Anyway in general HD2 is a great phone and I didn;t have some irritating problems with it so I would recommend it to anybody.

same story here. From the N97 to HD2. Best choice ever. Nokia user for about 10years, but its very doubtful that i will ever go back to Nokia again after the N97 experience. The new flagship after the N95 failed bigtime.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Add another one to the list. I was using the Nokia 5530, and I just sold it on Saturday (literally) to help finance my HD2 purchase. I'll soon join the ranks, and as my wife just said to before I saw this post, "I don't want to ever buy another Nokia phone."

I agree. Symbian drove me crazy. None of these models have enough system memory to function well enough. The N97 is a disaster.

I'm glad I found this forum, because otherwise I would not have known how customizable the HD2 really is, and the fact that it runs Windows Mobile would have caused me to shy away from it.

1) How do I put a shortcut on my Homescreen which links to the combined mail box? I can only see how I link to one mailbox :( (Also, can I have gmail in the combined mail box?)

2) Is there no vibration mode? I hold down power on my Hero I could flick it into vibration only. The N1 just has silent?

3) Has anyone ported over the 'people widget' from SenseUI? I used to love having them on my homescreen. Maybe there's a suitable replacement on the market?

4) Does no-one else use comma when texting?!?! Why do I have to go to additional characters to use a comma. I must use 2 or 3 each text! :(

5) In the news widget, how do the custom topics work? I would love US sports news (I'm in the UK) or more specifically NFL news. How can I set that up?

6) Does the N1 have no support for Groups in Contacts? If I create a contact I can't seem to assign it to a group? Also, I can't view or text people in a group :( Again, maybe there's an 'app for that' on the market?
[Nexus One General] LoKoYaW:
With the phone unlocked lower the volume to the mininum and voila, vibration mode :P

If you press the volume down again in vibration mode, you silence the phone.

Try to install Smart Keyboard, the comma is a stand-alone key in that keyboard.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
If you don't use the voice input stuff, disable it, and you will see the comma where the mic icon was on the default keyboard view/layout.

Technically, you can organize your contacts into groups and this is done via your gmail account. The phone however displays them only alphabetically, though you can choose which groups to include. They are searchable though.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
2) Once in silent mode, hit volume up once. There's also a couple i click wigets on the market to turn on vibrate mode.

4) press and hold the . key, it'll bring upa popup with common symbols.
[Nexus One General] cypher21:
If you don't use voice input (i don't) then disabled it in the keyboard settings. You'll get a comma instead of the microphone
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
You can long-press the period and other punctuation will popup, including the comma.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Tap on the news widget to bring up the news "app". Then tap on menu, settings, news settings, select news topics, custom topic and enter your own search string. While you are there, uncheck any news topics you don't need or want.
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
Ahh, cool. I didn't know that was an actual search term, I thought it was just a title. I've added NFL and also Android and it works awesome, thanks.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Good idea on Android as a search term. I also added "Nexus One" and that has been helpful, though often it is "old news" compared to what I read on this forum by the time I get around to browsing it on my phone...
[Nexus One General] Cheeze[iT]:
what about editing the lock screen so that when you slide the bar on the right, instead of going into silent, it goes into vibrate?
[HD2 General] peacebank:
Hi all,

Just a quick question, as a search did not reveal the answer, but is it possible to remove the len cover on the back of the HD2? As you will all know, it is very sharp - I don't tend to use the leather cover and it is starting to wear a hole in my jeans!

Looking at it the camera sensor itself is flush with the plastics of the device, but what I do not know is if the lens cover is simply stuck over the top of this, or if it covers any extra holes in the case.

Obviously it would need an alternative cover, which I am sure I could fabricate out of something, but was wondering if anyone else had been brave enough to remove it yet before I break my phone :)

Cheers

Looks like I will have to get my penknife out and give it a go myself then, lol

[HD2 General] max1274:
I use my case from time to time, but it's usually in my pocket on it's own. Certainly never uncomfortable and not close to making a hole in my pocket. I was told how sharp it was in the store when the O2 girl mentioned it had scratched their white desks, but since mine arrived it's never marked anything or been an issue.
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
I use the Proporta Mizu Shell case and this reduces the sharpness somewhat (although I've never felt the camera was sharp enough to wear a hole in my jeans). Maybe bigger jeans would help ;)
[HD2 General] alistair99:
i thought it was just my hd2 that could be used for cutting tiles but i solved the problem by buying a silicone case which covers up the edges of the camera.
[HD2 General] rjstep3:
I got a noreve case with which I am very pleased - it completely covers up the sharp bit (unless you want to take a photo). Much better than a damaged HD2.

Go to the accessories forum and look at the extensive suggesions there for cases, there's one out there with your name on it.

[HD2 General] sunking101:
Don't put the HD2 in your jeans, you will soon damage the screen.

Use a case, the slip case your HD2 came with is perfect. Every time you take the phone out, rest it on the case. No damaged phone and no scratched table etc.

When i got to power off my hd2, i can see the set-up just before it truns off.

Is there anything i can do to go through this initial set-up? everytime i reboot, my wifi is on.

If you have just flashed a new rom do a hard reset!

its always advisable to do a hard reset after flashing a new rom, (apparently it makes it run smoother)

but if that doesn't helpthen you can try disabling sense and you may find the wizard is running behind it.

edit a few days ago I read of someone with a wizard in thee background and when they put the phone into airplane mode it came to the front

Thanks guys,

I put the phone on airplane mode and the screen came to front.

This might be a bug with the ROM install process? dont know if other people are having this problem, but defo a prob with WWE.
