[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gsc12:
Hello monx

i will remove HSPL and start with the Official HTC ROM to send back the HD2

I heard that two ways

1. flash official ROM with sd card

or

2. flash official ROM with goldcard

I have the following error

the upper half of my Didsplay is mirrored to the down half
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] monx®:
i see. if that so, just

(1) Turn off your device. remove ur battery & reinsert back to make sure the device is fully power off. u also may charge ur device for a few minutes to avoid battery run out of power when flashing is in progress.

(2) extract ruu_signed.nbh form ur stock rom *.exe & rename it to LEOIMG.nbh.

(3) copy LEOIMG.nbh to microSD card root & put ur card back to device.

(4) Hold volume down + power button until it inter bootloader & ask to press power button to flash the image.

(5) Press power, sit back & relax until flashing finish.

(6) Softreset device by pushing reset hole.

Done.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
you still have HSPL on the phone. I think you have to stop holding the down button as soon as it comes up to boot from the card but i'm not sure as i nearly bricked my phone the one time i tried to flash my phone using the sd card
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htc12345:
is the error only visible on the bootloader screen or also in the roms you're running?

the exclamation mark you are talking about in an earlier post is most probably because you have a branded phone and you are trying to install a stock rom. this doesn't work with hspl when flashing from SD card because when flashing from sd you try to remove hspl with a rom which isn't compatible with your phone. because the rom is not compatible the upgrade or downgrade cannot complete without a goldcard.

do you still have the garbled display once you have installed a different rom via hspl/sspl, and after that try to reboot into bootloader?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gsc12:
Hello htc12345

the error is visible on the bootloader and in windows

without HSPL i geht the triangle to the on picture 3

yes the phone is an branded T-Mobile Germany Phone

so i think i have to wait for an official Provider ROM

I'm writing a small utility and wanted to use icon for it in the start program section and quick links. the problem is that I can't get my icon to be shown, only the default image is there (see the attach image)

The icon formats are: 16X16, 32X32, 48X48, 64X64, 90X90 & 120X120, all 32 bit bmp.

Any ideas? thanks

First sync with activesync *DELETES* any info on your phone that you've selected to synchronize --by DEFAULT... That's right. --The default setting with activesync is to replace everything on your phone with whatever you have in Outlook on your computer (you've been typing everything into Outlook to match everything on your phone, right)?

Now this assumes you selected to synchronize your contacts, calendar, etc... If you avoid checking any boxes on your activesync setup, nothing will be overwritten.

The other solution I found (say you want your phone to add its info to Outlook on your PC) is to select all those boxes on setup and then when it starts synchronizing *IMMEDIATELY* cancel the sync. Below it will list the things you selected to sync. Right-click on these items, and you can then select which device to overwrite in case of conflict. THEN continue with sync... ***There is nowhere in the initial setup to choose this.***

The nice thing, is if your phone is empty and you keep everyone's info on Outlook, it will -by default- add that info to your phone. Hmmm...

NOW -why I'm posting... Obviously activesync deleted all my phone's info on the first go. NOT FUN. Looking around -plenty of others have had this problem. I could rant on how stupid Microsoft is, why should activesync overwrite anything, and why should ANYTHING EVER be overwritten / deleted without a warning...? But my real concern here is how I got started upgrading my phone by reading through these forums, and looking at step-by-step instructions for installs, and reading opinions and follow-ups, with no mention of activesync problems... Googling "activesync delete contacts" will get you get a ton --several in these forums.

My hope is that there will be a Full ActiveSync Sticky --and warning on future "step-by-step" instructions where activesync is referrenced (activesync is often referenced in step-by-step instructions for those who don't know how to add files to their phones)...

Other activesync features (problems):

There are other times (separating a partnership) when Activesync will try to delete everything.

Activesync will re-sync automatically every few minutes while your phone is connected, often slowing / disrupting installs, sms, tasks in general.

Activesync will automatically run every few minutes on the phone even after disconnect.

Conclusion: In general, there is way too much automation in Activesync where you really need manual control. Try deleting a contact on your phone by hand --you always get a requester for confirmation. For Pete's sake, even Anti-Virus software asks if you want to delete suspected files and usually gives you a quarantine option... Activesync is a SCARY SCARY program. Be very careful with it.

My current setting: NO boxes checked for activesync to automatically do anything. All it does is connect my phone to my PC...

OK - so aside from bias/ability to afford/shipping/tax/price or other logistical factor - can we have a show of hands as to who has already bought a HD2 and has something to say - particularly what about the device makes you happy, what makes you sad?

Let's try keep it away from supplier/delivery issues or local network/band/signal issues - just pure usability/hardware/software.

Personally after trying one out in a store last week I finally received the experience I feel you want when moving to a PDA from a smart phone. What does our community think after using it for a while?
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
too subjective a question....for every person on here that says get it, there will be one that says don't get it.

the final decision must be yours....nobody here can make your decision for you. Make a list of the important things for you in a phone, then find the phone that matches those needs the best.

for example, I think the iphone has a much nicer interface, more apps, better screen (touch interface, not size or clarity), but for me it just doesn't handle business functions very well and that made me choose the HD2 since this was my primary need.

if you do the same process you might find the ideal phone for you
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
I got mine on Sunday just gone, was an upgrade from a Diamond. I loved my diamond, but as soon as I had setup my HD2 with contacts and apps etc I was loving this even more. Each time I use it I find something new, like facebook linking, then seeing in a contact card all communications with that person.

I'm yet to use the footprints, but look forward to trying it out.

The main thing for me was the screen size, I always had problems with the tiny diamond screen, but this is so crisp, easier to use and much easier to keyboard with.

Also the damn speed of the device is amazing, so fast, the OS loads so quick. I soft resetted it and put it down to expect a few minutes wait like on the diamond, but was rebooted so quick!

The one thing I would love to see is a facebook tab, like the twitter tab, shame they didn't implement that!

The specs that come with this phone are truely awesome, and that was the overall selling point for me, as I knew how good HTC phones were I just had to have something with the specs that this phone comes with.
[HD2 General] noofny:
twisted-pixel - good point about the subjectiveness. I suppose what I'm fishing for here are peoples post-usage horror/love stories - moreso with regard to hardware and usability. It's a nice big screen but it's also a nice big slab of tech - how do you find the size, whats the battery life like, do you notice anything bad about the capacitive screen, how often (if ever) do you feel the need for a stylus and say 'doh', does the headphone port become dodgy after use - or the micro usb port? I suppose because of this community we all have flexibility and solutions around software, so I meant to make this more hardware related I guess.
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
I admit to loving the phone...with one exception...the sensitivity of the screen is a complete disaster for me. it's very difficult to type on, someones it responds to the slightest touch, other times it doesn't. accuracy is also an issue (that was to be expected on a screen with high resolution I suppose)

and yes, I've tried all the tweaks going before anyone suggests it (currently running v3.3 of the tweak with sensitivity on)

I think if I had come straight from my HD then I would have been impressed, but I come from an iphone where the screen was a delight to use.

however, the rest of the phone makes up for that small failing.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Unfortunately, you will find more people venting than praising any device on this forum, as people only seek help when they have problems.

I must admit, I personally think it is the best device I have ever used.

[HD2 General] dondian:
I got the HD2 the day it was available in my country (one of the first in europe) and despite all the fixes and xda-dev recommendations i couldn't have it for more then 1 weekend. I sold it on monday morning.

I hated typing (i did try the keyboard cab which should lower the sensitivity), loading sms with some exchanged texts already (loading was awful for such powerful device), visibility outside was horrible, battery,..

Maybe my rant will be understanded better if i mention i'm a blackberry user that likes to try out new "hot phones" (no matter which brand or type of usage).

I've also tried the Nexus One and would say i liked it a tiny bit better then HD2, but still couldn't have it for more then a week.

So, why am i writing this.. After MWC last week, i've kind of wanted to give HD2 another shot. For the following reasons..

I've came across some nice taskbar buttons (which make it look so much better..), I saw there is a fix for sms loading time, i guess i could always install a different keyboard,.. and most imortantly i got a very nice (cheap) offer for a brand new HD2. Yesterday i even ordered a nice case (didn't like the one that comes in the box) and a screenprotector (which might reduce the fingerprints, which i hated so much and a visibility outside,.. hope i'm not too optimistic).

If i somehow manage to be happy with HD2, i might even go for the exnteded battery. And i'm kind of feeling the hype for WinMo7 rom for this device.. Don't know if it will be any better or worse, i just know there is some excitement about it :)

Hope my rant / "long mess" didn't bore you too much :)
[HD2 General] hanoi_toulouse:
+1 to buy with eyes closed.
[HD2 General] NeoGreendawg:
OK, this will be quick because I'm supposed to be doing something else right now but anyway...

I've just sent my HD2 back because of a problem with the microphone so if anyone should be telling you to think of other alternatives - it should be me.

But I can't because I love the phone. It's fast, responsive, it's got most of the features that you could ever want (minus USB host), the screen is gorgeous and the interface is pretty damn usable.

It's not perfect however... Customising it is more trouble than it should be. There is a slight pink hue in the middle of the camera when the contrast and saturation are turned up high enough to make the colours look half lifelike and when the screen is completely white, at certain angles you can see the grid dots that make the screen's matrix.

So to resume, if you don't mind spending some time on it and you're not completely obsessive about things being absolutely perfect (I am and I can still get to sleep at night) then you should be very happy with an HD2.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
The pink hue is solved with an update from HTC (here)

The dots are also visible on an iPhone, its down to the technology, not the device alone. :)
[HD2 General] NeoGreendawg:
Well, I'm sorry but the HTC hotfix did slightly improve the issue but it certainly didn't resolve it in my case. I love the phone believe me but I somehow doubt that anyone who isn't employed by HTC or affected by Daltonism could honestly claim that it has completely solved the issue.

Edit : Not trying to be rude or make out that it's a deal-breaker but I know that as a potential buyer I'd want to know about it.
[HD2 General] noofny:
Wish they would just whack a snapdragon and capacitive screen in a HD and re-release it....think that would satisfy a lotta folks. Cheers all for your input, it's really helping me to set realistic expectations.
[HD2 General] MasDroid:
I was contemplating on whether I should buy a Nexus One instead of the HD2, but I decided to go for the HD2 instead because it was cheaper, had a nice screen resolution, specifications don't differ much between both devices, and i'm looking forward to the Windows 7 release on the HD2 :)
[HD2 General] wahaj123:
i am currently contemplating to switch from HD to HD2....is it worth it?
[HD2 General] Prophete:
Buy it!

I come from the HD. The HD2 is what the HD should have been from the first instance.

Fantastic:

- speed (and I am using a stock French Orange ROM based on 1.43!)

- screen

- usability

As far as precision is concerned: I need a phone to check and type (even long) emails, and read documents. XT9 works just great, but even in ABC mode in landscape the accuracy is pretty good (and I type fast!).

If you need to play around with programs using stylus-based input, yes, then it gets really annoying (try to edit your registry in Total Commander and you'll get crazy).

In summary: if you want to tweak it like crazy all the time or intensively use older programs with small menus, then consider buying an alternative with a resistive screen and a stylus. But if you actually want to USE your phone with the standard applications, just buy it and you'll get the best of the market today imo!

to buy or not

i have it for a month after the trinity.

sorry but it hasnot voice call

no handwriting recognition

battery ends quickley

no video call

no .chm file reader

Official update or not, i am certain there will be more then 1 WinMo 7 ROMs out there cooked for all of those/us that wanna give it a try with the HD2

Same with the Touch HD, i didn't get 6.5, the diamond2 did ... well it didn't stop people from upgrading their Touch HD to 6.5 by themselves did it?

It's an awesome device, doesn't everything I could wish for in a phone...

BUT

I do like the look of the HTC Desire and I'm tempted to sell up and get it...am I being silly?!?!
[HD2 General] NeoGreendawg:
Your thread wasn't about whether upgrading to the HD2 was a good choice or not, it was about whether you should risk buying from a dodgy Ebay seller so you wouldn't have to pay full price... Totally different subject. This thread will help lots of people make informed decisions...

Yours was a waste of time as anyone with a little common sense would know that you don't send hundreds of euros to a stranger in good faith.
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
IMO, get a N1 instead, cause N1 get better support and more firmware update than any HTC original devices.

Hero took ages till last year for update to 2.1, all because of Sense.

Wish I could have one. I really want to try Android
[HD2 General] freyberry:
It is pretty much impossible to make a WP7 ROM for any device without an official upgrade or a leak.

This is a completely different story than the WM6.1 to WM6.5 updates. WM6.1 and WM6.5 are based on the same core. It's easy to port WM6.5 to any WM5-6 device.

But it's near impossible to port WP7 to any WM6 device.

Sorry for the bad news, but without an official upgrade or a leak of the necessary software (drivers etc.) you will be stuck with WM6.5 forever.

Unless you're a huge fan of WM6.5, don't buy an HD2 now.

WM6.5 is doomed and there is no confirmation that the HD2 will ever get a WP7 update. So, unless you absolutely want WM6.5 or the 4.3" screen, do not buy the HD2 now. Get an HTC Desire instead or wait until there is confirmation about an upgrade.
[HD2 General] MasDroid:
Hi there,

Thanks for that information.

Yes, I do appreciate that it is not possible to port Windows Phone 7 Series to any Windows Mobile 6 without any official upgrade or leak.

The fact that no confirmation has been given for any Windows Phone 7 Series update thus far pretty much tells the whole story. We will have to wait and see what transpires.

Additionaly, Microsoft absolutely requires that Windows Phone 7 Series handsets have Back, Start, and Search keys. The HD2 has the first two, but there’s no search key to be found. No search key = no certification, and no certification means no Windows Phone 7 Series.

Unless Microsoft changes their certification process or someone hacks Windows Phone 7 Series onto the handset, it’s just probably not going to happen. But, given the fact that the HD2 meets Windows Phone 7 Series Chassis 1 specs, could this mean that it’s only a matter of time until Windows Phone 7 Series is hacked on XDA?

I feel the HD should have been what the HD2 is now.
[HD2 General] noside:
HD was good. HD2 is betta!

hi i traded in my HD for HD2 n I'm really pleased with my decision. thoh I gotta admit typing is a lil difficult as e.screen is so smooth n slippery! it takes a while to yet used to it. I'm currently using e stock Rom fr my.Telco n it's e latest ver. 1.66 n it's superb. there's nothing much to be tweaked as everything is smooth n works nicely. e avi files I've d/l like Heroes se4 series looked like I was watching thru a mini hdtv! amazing clarity n video playback is smooth. oh I'm using coreplayer BTW.

surfing e net on e opera is fast n responsive. pages in tabs load up very much faster compared to HD and multitasking didn't slow it down either.

only one shortfall for HD2 n tat is there's no front camera, thus no video call function.

battery life does last longer than HD by quite a fair bit which really surprised me. I used to have to charge my hd in my office so it could last e rest of e day till nightfall when I get home, now I don't have to. well I think HD2 certainly beats iphone flat cos iphone might not last even if I charge it in my office till I get home as I'm a heavy user. always on e move reading thru emails n rss feeds. music n videos.

lastly I find that long usage of WiFi or web browsing doesn't get HD2 as hot as HD. so I won't worry bout e phone exploding... ha.

lastly an annoying issue is that HD2 uses a different usb mini port connector fr HD n I have to use its one n only usb cable to connect to my laptop or charging. I used to b able to use my psp cable or any normal usb 2.0 cable.to charge my HD. n my ps3 can't seem.to detect HD2 as an ext hdd! darn! I wonder y.

lastly I'm actually replying tis post with my new HD2 thru opera. nice if not for e slippery screen. I shld practise more.

so cheers to all who.had tried tis HD2. nothing is ever perfect. I feel HD2 is close to wat I would want in a phone which can keep up with the upcoming wave of new mobiles n still come in top for performance in speed n multitasking capability. no regrets I vote for HD2.
