It is on front of handset, bottom right button with an arrow pointing from right to left.

Press and hold it, then tap power (the button above it), and see if anything happens.

FWIW, Vol. down + Power is something different used to flash the phone, so see if you can enter SPL, as that will do also.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ekerbuddyeker:
i have a TP2. our work email is only set up for Blackberry, not Exchange + activesync (they dont have the server for this or Outlook Web Access). i use Blackberry Connect (BBC) on my TP2, but its generally an unpleasant experience. In addition, i want to switch to an HD2 and apparantly BBC doesnt work on that device according the the forum.

Q: is there any third party softwares that will allow me to access my work exchange email, and that i can just add it as another account on my device? in other words, the same experience as using activesync (which doesnt work)?
[HD2 General] dino_Donis:
Is it possible to import a playlist created on your PC i.e. .m3u into the HD2 and make it appear in the sense music player?

Can you sync music/playlist on your PC with the HD2?
[HD2 General] Smygflik:
Yes, use Windows Media Player and right click on the playlist and press "Add to sync list" and it will appear in the sense player when done.
[HD2 General] dino_Donis:
Thanks...I'll give that a try
[HD2 General] dino_Donis:
Just tried this but only music being transferred and found by sense music player...NOT playlists...Are you sure this works??
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
I'm wondering this, too...how can I get my fifty gazillion song playlist onto my phone without sitting down for hours and manually re-creating it? This is very frustrating. Can't we stick a text file or xml or something into the phone system to get sense to recognize it?

PlaylistMgr is simple playlist editor for managing Windows Media Player and Sense playlists and also can import different playlist created on PC
[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
Doesn't work. I've got a Windows Media Player playlist on my pc that I want to copy to my phone and have Sense or at least WMP recognize it...anyone know how to do that, specifically?
[HD2 General] cliver:
Did anyone come up with a solution to this?

I have tried all sorts to get a playlist from my PC into my HD2 and to show up in the sence player to no avail :mad:

I've been playing with different ways to get my music on and seem to have a working solution using MusicBee which gets all my music including tags and album art into sense perfectly. It copies playlist over but I can't get sense to recognise them. Getting fed up with recreating playlists every time I change my music over on my phone :(

If anyone knows a way to get playlists into the sence player it would be most appreciated.
[HD2 General] harkrug:
please help .. I'm not a noob, but this time I've probably done damage.

I installed a ROM on my HD2, probably without the radio accurate (I think I installed and I'd rather have another), once installed on the ROM cell has successfully started, I sent SMS, made phone calls, then I Google Maps 4.0 installed in phone memory I did a soft reset and now it gets stuck with the writing htc green on a white background and not charged. I do not know what to do can you help me? the phone is not synchronized so I can not do anything to flash new ROM or radio. Help please :(

I'm sorry for my english i use google translate :)

-----------------------------------------------

Aiuto perfavore.. io non sono un noob, ma questa volta probabilmente ho fatto un danno.

ho installato una ROM nel mio HD2, probabilmente senza la RADIO esatta (credevo di averla installata ed invece ne avevo installata un'altra), una volta installata la ROM il cellulare si è avviato correttamente, ho mandato SMS che, fatto telefonate, dopo ho installato Google Maps 4.0 nella memoria del telefono ho fatto un soft-reset e adesso mi resta bloccato con la scritta htc verde su sfondo bianco e non carica. non so che fare mi potete aiutare?il cellulare non si sincronizza quindi non posso fare niente per flashare nuove ROM o RADIO. Aiuto perfavore :(
[HD2 General] dino_Donis:
1] Have you tried a hard reset? It is recommended that you hard reset after installing a new ROM.

2] You can load a new ROM via the MicroSD card so you don't have to have it sync'd. Have a look at the ROM upgrade section
[HD2 General] harkrug:
Yes i reset memory card too because i had english rom and i install italian rom....

i try with MicroSD Card now...
[HD2 General] harkrug:
everything ok .. I went into boot load and I flashed the new radio ...

thanks

well if you want to delete the post ... thanks
[HD2 General] dino_Donis:
Like the title says is it possible to point the sense player so that it only scans a certain folder or ignores certain folders (like the photo viewer can)??

I have ringtones etc in my player!
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
yes it is.. look in the sticky tips thread..!

oops sorry, that's for pictures and videos..

if you set a file as ringtone, it's copied to the ringtone folder.. no need to keep it on your storage..

If you're saying you want to use a different wallpaper in landscape than you do in portrait, the best solution is an app developed here at xda by member maranell0, called HDWalls...it lets you choose/assemble your portrait wallpaper (which will appear on all tabs), your landscape wallpaper, and even your slider icons if you want.

Details/download HERE

There's a cab (do a search here and PPCGeeks) for a wallpaper changer that allows for both portrait and landscape specific walls. It's called auto wallpaper changer. Works nicely.

Hey Guys and Girls,

Just wanted to know if ANYONE has ANY REAL screen shots of WM7 yet.

I am very amazed that Microsoft have kept thier cards close to thier chest !

I hope that this new OS is something radical, if not....I'm going to Andriod and bye bye Microsoft !

and that it will not be backward compatible with previous wm programs

but mind you that is rumours
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] theomni:
Yeah, I've been waiting too. luckily, the MWC is starting Monday of next week. I've all ready decided to Android, and it will take a lot for WM 7 to impress me enough to stay with microsoft.

Whats pissing me off even more is that while Android and to some extent iPhone OS are getting massive updates, WM is still behind in the dust and they're taking FOREVER to launch something.

I've all ready decided to switch to the Xperia X10 when it comes out in the states.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] oalex:
Also..

Goodbye activesync, welcome Zune desktop.

Actually that is one thing that I particularly liked.

My general impression that the New OS is for the bigger/non-IT public (just like iphone). We have to understand, they have to go where the money is. This new OS sure beats beats current iphone at its own user base.

Hardcore user experience did not come trough at all.

Still my feelings are positive.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] blackSVK:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] oalex:
Difficult to tell, but if I 'd have to guess I'd say NOT. Rather some king of smart PUSH.

Amway they have personal discussions with reporters so we will soon have that info, as many of them will definitely ask.

P.S:

I am not sure I remember right but it seemed he said something about special core and a deal with qualcom, with special core instruction set required for WM7. Doesn't that mean that snapdragon (aka HD2) will not run the new OS?

Almost sounded like an exclusive deal with qualcom, but not sure if I heard right.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jack E:
Does anyone else think that Windows Phone 7 Series is a bit like a car name :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] StuartMaher:
I would imagine what we saw, in the limited time they had, was the mass market appeal.

The mass market does not want the range of functionality and scope of customisation that is forced on you with WM 6.5. So they go for the iPhone which is closed and locked down. So they have shwon that WK7 will match and better the Iphone in a closed phone enviroment. Now, as more and more comes out we will see if WM7 retains the full operating system functionality that previous WM builds had.

Already, looking at demos shown on some sites there is functionality like right swipe to show what looks to be an installed application menu.

I really like this!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] egzthunder1:
I have to agree with Fallen... they are desperately trying to copy whatever Apple is doing without actually admitting that they are copying them...

Not that I will miss WMP, but Zune?~?~?~... Come On M$!!! I actually own a Zune 8GB and I have to say, those have to be the worst $60 I've ever spent on a gadget. I even thought about getting an IPod seeing how happy my nephew is with his Jailbroken one... I personally don't have an Xbox or use Bing, Facebook, or MS Live profiles... and the whole fuzz behind this thing is the integration with everything M$ (except for Facebook, that is). You know what M$, not everyone needs to update the status of their lives on their internet (or care about it for that matter). I personally have better things to do than letting people know that I am in the middle of taking a dump :D

Long story short, I can't wait for the WM7 devices to start coming out. The hardware supporting this has to be top notch to handle it. This way we will finally (here at XDA) get hardware fit to properly run the latest 6.5 without it crashing and with smooth... well, everything... Cooks and hackers... start your OS-porting engines :D

Hopefully, HTC will deliver, that is my only hope :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thomas_pieps:
just watched the press conference and I must say, I'm quite dissapointed. There is nothing new or special, it's just a black interface with text...

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] donbronzi:
"Microsoft used the launch of Windows Phone as a rare opportunity to poke fun at rival Apple, which has shaken up the mobile space with its iPhone.

Windows Phone, said an advert, doesn’t make users “go in and out of apps” - a clear dig at the iPhone, which has been criticised for its inability to multi-task."

I'm pretty sure WM7 will have multi tasking.

Looks like it could be a good OS, don't know why people seem down on it??:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidMc0:
From what I've read, windows 7 series will NOT have full multi tasking, just the ability for push notifications to happen while an application is in the background.

I'd often wondered if multi tasking is really necessary on a phone - the Iphone seems so responsive, and applications seem to run fast; how much of this is a benefit of not multi tasking (so apps have much more memory available to them)?

It'll be interesting to see how 7 Series develops. So far, it won't do anything my HD2 won't, but I hope it'll be nice by the time it arrives later in the year. Quite exciting!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Haobo:
Oh my god xda is screwed.

Are they serious that all future WinMo7 phones require capacative multitouch screens? And it wont be able to be ported to the older winmo phones? Microsoft has just broke my heart. I really liked resistive screens. Even better, multitouch resistive screens,
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Rudegar:
"I'd often wondered if multi tasking is really necessary on a phone"

well it would be nice to listen to music both streamed and on the device

while surfing

and running IM so you get a notification when you get a msg and of cause appear online to the contacts you got

that would be a multitasking requirement

and of cause you should be able to write a mail and go to the browser and copy something and go back and paste it in the mail of cause this is not real multitasking as

the started mail would just not be deleted when you left the mail app

but apps which are not gui active as content or titlebar would not need true multitasking

thats more of a many windows open at once thing
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jokes On You:
This in no way shape or forum mean the end of XDA. 6.5 is still out there and being developed. Mobile Phone 7 is just phone competition.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] StuartMaher:
Actually, I think with that they were saying "We don;t make you go in and out of apps, we do it all in one place"
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Soaa-:
I think Microsoft is breaking the app metaphor here. It appears that most "apps" won't be self-contained, like on existing mobile platforms, but will be extensions of the core UI. As such, multitasking isn't even a necessity here, as there are no apps proper. These UI extensions will run constantly within the core UI. The only instances where I could spot self-contained apps would be games, and I don't think I want a resource-intensive game running in background.

The real question now is how will they treat notifications? I love how Android does it; it's visible but unobtrusive.

I see how die-hard WinMo fans would be disappointed by the break, but Microsoft's need to abandon the past is obvious here. WinMo is very, very niche, and we know how Steve Ballmer hates niche. Their direction is very clear.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
I love the iphone has basically regressed expectations about new phones.

The default question has become "can it multitask" when it's pretty obvious multi tasking is a given.

I'm glad MS has basically started from the ground up, not doing that stagnated their mobile os and cause them to fall behind.

Regarding customizing and all that, from the looks of it you'll have a new os structure instead of the old:

Looks to me likes apps will live inside hubs if developers choose to, or new panels can be created, or apps can be individual entities. It's the natural progressing of cloud computing. Apps on android and iphone are born out of the lack of capabilites of mobile browsers. MS seems to have skipped that and integrated the data on the clouds instead of having to "go somewhere" for it.

Facebook, twitter, picassa, flickr. All those things don't inheritly needs applications, they just need to transmit data.

Like pandora for example, it doesn't need anything other than a menu to function if the OS already has an integrated player. On the flip side programs that don't fall under a certain category, like say navigation, will probably need to create their own "hub" where other thigns can reside as well, such as maps from bing.

I'd be very very surprised if MS locks this OS like apple has with the iphone OS
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mr. Makk:
i agree........
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jmbillings:
I dunno.

I watched the little demo on the windowsphone7 site and while it looks nice it's definitely aimed at the iPhone market. The assumption that everyone now lives their lives on social networks is a little tedious but it seems to be the way everythings going... I guess it's me that's out of date!

So all the built in stuff is lovely and swish, but what about existing 3rd party apps? (I've not watched any of the news yet so apologies if that's answered already...)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] remotek:
me 2...................
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
I think it looks good, but the only features I would use on that phone would be the web browser & music player. (edit: I would like to do that at the same time too...)

I will wait and see how it handles 3rd party apps, then make my decision.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WhyBe:
I would assume it would be similar to how Zune HD handles apps.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] F-Styla:
You are absolutly right!

I don't like the look of Windows Mobile 7. Looks ugly to me! How did they come to the idea, to don't use icons at all?

They said nothing about the notification system, push notifications, adaptability and so on.

They should have bring the Zune HD looking interface just for the media player, not for the entire phone.

And I don't now how you guys feel, but this UI has something I don't like about the iPhone as well: It looks very jailed and "given" and since they don't allow costom interfaces like HTC Sense anymore, it is indeed jailed!

I think WM7 will be compatible with to Zune HD Apps, which are - in my opinion - terrible.

They should have keep the customizable philosophy of WM6 with a new better looking interface, but new created Zune HD clone UI isn't good at all. Very disapointing...

So it will be iPhone OS 4.0 against Android for me this summer...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thomas_pieps:
yup yup, but there is one thing that can make a difference, hello XDA...

And most of the current device are using similar hardware so in a while having android on your WM device won't be a problem...

Now there's one thing, Microsoft always makes his wrongs right. Look at Win7, look at server 2008R2, look at SQL 2008 and so on...

So maybe in a few years they will see the wrongs in this one and make it wrigt :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
So many assumptions being made. This is isn't an apple unveil where there's so little substance everything can be presented in a two hour presentation.
