[Hero, G2 Touch General] mancuk29:
I have had problems with my hero (the only issue mind you) where sometimes my memory card will corrupt if I turn off my phone - for example overnight or to reset the ram etc ... has happened twice

only big things I have on my memory card is co pilot and spotify (which has offline files on it)

can anyone help - is my hero faulty or is does it happen to anyone else ?

great phone apart from this !!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iammodo:
Not a problem with your Phone.

The problem is with your wallet.

Applications such as Co-Pilot and Spotify use data from the memory card a lot.

Mass transfer on a low grade memory card kills it.

you can use a grade 2 for music and photos but go above grade 4 if using co Pilot.

I know the Grade is normally used for speed but also seems to be for reliability.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mancuk29:
memory card

thanks for reply - the 8gb im using is a sandisk ,..... what would you suggest ??

how do you tell if a card is grade 2 or 4 ??

thanks in advance

chris
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mancuk29:
well ive learned something new, never knew that memory cards had this rating ... my card is type 2 .. just ordered a type 4 off ebay .. hopefully the issue wont occur when i get my new card

thank you for your help kindest regards

chris
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iammodo:
Lets hope the grade 4 works better for you :)

for anyone reading this. the grade is in a little circle after the word sandisk.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tehmk:
I agree with iammodo, nearly a year ago when I got my G2 Touch, I bought a 8GB Sandisk Class 6 from Play.com (£19.99), it worked perfectly and seemed to speed-up any memory card intensive apps or processes, but I took it out for use on another device and bought a class 2 8GB, didn't look worse at first, but then problems started occuring after days of use, sloweness, random corrupts, it even corrupts if I mount it or put the phone off for example.

I recently bought the Class 6 8GB from Play.com and I haven't experienced the problems again.

This is my experience, and probably won't happen to someone else, but at least moving back to Class 6 seemed to fix most of the problems.

I'll probably never buy a Class 2 again, I always go for the highest spec in a memory card anyways. Saving up for a 32GB soon, are there Class 6 versions? If not, I'll wait.
[HD2 General] carlowise:
I replaced 4gb msdhc class 6 with 8gb class 4 and it drained my batt in 2 hours.

what should I do to stop it

tnx
[HD2 General] traithudo:
Just flashed my HD2 with Miri's ROM 2.1 "Miri_HD2_WM65_21895_Sense25_V7.1". This is my first cooked ROM on HD2. It works well until I find out that every time I connect my HD2 to the PC in Disk Drive mode (fast file transfer), after a while the phone will completely freeze whether or not it remains connected to the PC. I then have to remove the battery and restart the phone. Suspecting if this is due to registry editing done to the phone, I reflashed the above ROM, and the problem persists.

Does anyone note this situation:(:(? Does this freezing have anything to do with Miri's cooked ROM? And is there anyway I could get rid of it?

P/S: The phone works flawlessly if the connection mode is set to "ActiveSync".

Thanks for any tips.
[Touch HD General] Iosif1985:
Hello fellows,

Does anyone know if there is a better camera application for our Blackstone ?

Thanks a lot guys
[Touch HD General] cyron_at:
..why don't you post in the blackstone forum? The result will be better I think..

BTW: I don't know any other app, sorry
[Touch HD General] Iosif1985:
Why ? Simple, I wrote in the wrong tab in my browser, only now when I was looking for my thread noticed that is writed in the wrong thread...

Sorry for the trouble, can a moderator please move my thread to Blackston Apps forum ?

Thanks a lot and sorry again...
[Touch HD General] stylez:
Thread moved and edited title so as users can see subject before opening.
[Touch HD General] Iosif1985:
Thanks mod, i forgot puting a subject (weird day today :) ), sorry about that...

Anyway, back on topic, has anyone any idea of a better camera application ?
[Touch HD General] raptoro07:
don't know of a better one, but I've noticed on the many of the PDAVIET roms that those guys are using a different HTC Camera, that has a zoom function. Not sure where they get it, or what version it is.
[Touch HD General] Iosif1985:
Hm, strange thing :)

I would of expect to exist at least one application beside HTC Camera....
[Touch HD General] Raptordin:
The official HTC camera application for Blackstone has Zoom by default, but since every one is using custom roms which get the camera application from later phone modules (Roms) it does not come with zoom in the camera.

If you want you can search for it in forums you will find it as I have seen it here before.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
There's a few available in the WM Marketplace...I haven't tried any of them, but I remembered seeing them when browsing there.

I have myself used Trancreative's WordBook for a number of years.

It's not free, it's not new, but without any other references I think it works well. WVGA is no problem.

Check it out at http://www.trancreative.com/WindowsPhone/WordBook/

Nice, only $10. Sold. :D
[HD2 General] bartveld:
On starting MyPhone I'm told I need a mandatory update. Once downloaded it says it will remove the old version. Then I'm told the old version can't be removed and installation fails.

I've updated MyPhone before without a problem. Of course it is part of ROM, so it can't really be removed, but I assume Microsoft takes that into account. I've already removed the older update manually, but still no go.

Any suggestions?
[HD2 General] bartveld:
Am I the only one? When I uninstall Myphone (a previous update) it says it can't complete it. I've already tried manually removing all files from Application Data but the update still won't install.

What will the subsidized price be for a HD2 on new contract?

I want this phone, and I decided I will get this, and if I don't like it then I'll trade for a nexus one.
[HD2 General] kcab87:
I think I read somewhere that the RUMORED subsidized price for the HD2 will be

$199.99 on a 2-year contract new/upgrade WITH the data package.

$449.99 no contract

Correct me if i am wrong...
[HD2 General] 10332007:
Almost positive your right on the non contract price. I believe you are correct as well on the subsidized price.
[HD2 General] chaoscentral:
The 449 unsubsidized price is confirmed on the offical HD2 product page in the footnotes, and I've been hearing 199 or 180 as the subsidized price.
[HD2 General] Gellenole:
cheap as hell!!!
[HD2 General] ppriyank:
I was wondering if I have to buy the phone from tmobile only (non-contract for $449) or will we be able to buy it straight from HTC? the reason being that it wont be branded with all T-Mobile logos...it will be unlocked and I wont be forced to get a data plan from them for additional $30 (i think thats what the price is). Instead i can continue using my $9.99 plan (with internet2.voicestream.com APN) and save $20 every month?

Thanks for any info that one might have on this...

Priyank
[HD2 General] predator290:
Partial upgrade eligibility?

Will this be on the partial upgrade list? The touch pro 2 is on there but im wondering if the hd2 will be added to it. If your not sure what im talking about here is the page.

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/01/t-mobile-partial-upgrade-pricing-discount-goes-live-tomorrow/
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
That is cheap, which makes the choice even harder between the Nexus One and the HD2.

I know my plan options already for both devices, if I choose either:

Unlimited Min Even more Plan: $69.99

Unlimited Data and text: $30
[HD2 General] chaoscentral:
If you pay for either phone unsubsidized u get a better rate plan, 79.99 unlimited everything
[HD2 General] qben88:
also FYI the Hd2 is part of the buy one get one free offer. but its only for 2 new lines.
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
Hello Everyone,

For the $449.00 , Can you just go in the t-mobile store, buy the phone, walk out. No plan, nothing else?

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Yeap, thats what it should be. You wont be able to do that until march 30th though.
[HD2 General] alexsql:
Can you confirm this

"also FYI the Hd2 is part of the buy one get one free offer. but its only for 2 new lines."

I plan to switch from ATT to T-mobile Even More Plus for Families 750 Talk + Text + Web. I will buy the Phone unsubsidized.

I do not see any indication on the Web site that I can get the second one free, can you please point me in the right direction.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
why march 30th?

thats not true if i get the even more plus plan but still buy the phone at full price right
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Isn't that the date of release for it? Thats why I say that.
[HD2 General] MartinXDA:
Cell Phone plan

Hi guys! Just a quick question.

Is it mandatory to buy a new phone when activating a plan like, let's say, for example t-mobile "even more plus"?

I mean, if I'm a new customer and already have a phone can I activate only that plan?

Thanks :)
[HD2 General] qben88:
i work at a cor store. this sale goes on till the 31st of march. the phone comes out on the 24th.
[HD2 General] qben88:
no, thats the great thing about even more plus. you can just go in and activate a plan and thats it. plus its cheaper monthly cuz we dont have to subsidize the equipment.
[HD2 General] MartinXDA:
Ehehe thanks qben88!

That $49.99 unlimited talk sounds like the way to go...even though the 1000 talk isn't bad either..:D
[HD2 General] chaoscentral:
March 24th is the date, 30th is the week after :)
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Lol, I was thinking of the end of my at&t contract :rolleyes:, and even that is in May lol.

I still have to wait a month before I can touch anything lol.
[HD2 General] jdp220:
I'm an AT&T customer and I bought the HD2 T8585 on ebay.. the data transfer was very slow- it would only connect to EDGE. After a bit of research, the T9193 is fully compatible with AT&T 3G (850Mhz 3G).

When it was announced that T-mobile US was going to be carrying the phone- I freaked out because I was just about ready to spend $700 importing an australian T9193... come to find out, the t-mobile version will NOT support AT&T 3G, is this correct? It's showing the 3G band as 1700/2100mhz..

Does anyone know which model the HD2 will be for tmobile usa? Am I correct that this will not support UMTS/HSDPA 850mhz?
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
T-Mobile uses 1700mhz for 3G. Not 1900/850, So your SOL on there. I am lucky because my contract is going to end soon so I can get a new device.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
anyone know if walmart or radioshack tend to get new releases right away? the closest core tmo store to my school is an hour away and they wont hold the phone :/
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
After a long while. My best bet is that theres not going a big bum rush to get them, so that hour will be worth it.
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
yeah I don't think people will actually be lining up early to get them like they did for the iphone.
[HD2 General] bokechukwu1:
i agree simply because there hasnt been any marketing for it, whereas the iphone had tons of publicity and marketing. Most people that arent tech geeks dont even know about the phone honestly
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
true not many people know but ive heard they will only get like 3 or 4 per store and it seems theyve at least semi promoted it.
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
HTC HD2 is quite mouthful to say when you've never had to say it.

I've said it, thought about it, dreamed it so often that it's easy to flow.

iPhone was, let's be honest, the coolest thing that happend in late '00s.

HD2 STILL doesn't even have am official release date in the US.

I've seen no marketing for this device anywhere, and only found out about it because I was looking at other HTC devices, such as Touch Pro2.

It's almost like T-Mobile doesn't think it'll hit and withholding the ad-cost as to cover their possible, and probable losses.
[HD2 General] lude219:
To those of you who ponder why Tmobile isn't making a big push in terms of marketing for the HD2, well, think about it.

Does it appeal to women and children? No.

Does it have tons of apps available to download that doesn't cost a massive amount of headache to run? No.

Is SenseUI and WinMo6.5 bug-free? No.

....

I could go on and on. The fact is, this phone is for power users and not casual users. Imagine this forum represents a small sample of the majority users, and you've seen about 10-15 new users each day posting all kinds of questions (some easily solved; some SOL)...now what would happen if you have a few millions of users calling up tmobile/microsoft each day asking why they're running out of program memory, why their phone froze spontaneously while playing mp3 and receiving phone call at the same time, why their battery only last 6-7hrs., etc etc.

The majority of the users out there are casual users, and for lack of a better word, are "retarded" when it comes to technology...especially the finicky WinMo OS. Tmobile is a business, and they're not going to advertise a specialized high-end product to all their audiences, that's why marketing for the HD2 has been quiet. Imagine if Tmobile persuade your grandma to get this phone and she goes around telling all her friends how ****ty this phone is because it doesnt work correctly and how crappy Tmobile phone and services are (because as we all know, ordinary users don't call it an HTC phone, but rather a Tmobile phone). Yea, I don't think Tmobile would be pleased with that.

In the end, this phone is not for everybody, that's why Tmobile is not wasting their time and money marketing it. Those who in the know would get it, and those who dont, will stick with the countless other dumbphones that Tmobile offers. Everyone happy.
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Smart post. :cool:

At the same time though, they aren't really going to market it for them anyways, because it hasn't been released yet, and when it does get released any advertisements aired, printed or [e]mailed, will be aimed at power users, like the TP2.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
The TMo marketing push doesn't start until MIX is over, if I'm not mistaken.

This is 'the' fashion phone for TMobile, make no doubt. $199/450? Easy easy easy.

You could argue it's the Nexus One, but they don't even carry that in their stores!
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
That's because it's Google priced the device competitively, so that other companies would charge outrageous fees to a device as great as Nexus one.

Who would've thought a great device like Nexus one could be sold for $180 with 2year plan?

It's mostly thanks to google why HD2 is so cheap, and most phones will be for awhile.
[HD2 General] kcab87:
The bottom line..... On March 24th, I will be at the door of my local T-Mobile store at 8:30am waiting anxiously to get this multimedia monster!!

oh yea, and eff WP7S. and besides when XDAndroid releases a version for the HD2, ill dualboot it. To hell with Windows Phone 7.........for now.....
[HD2 General] MartinXDA:
Nice words lude! I think of it this way:

You should feel proud that you're using a high-end device and not some fruit company phone that even children can use.

You've got endless possibilities with this device. Why do you think that is? Simply because you're not just limited to some apps available at the store, but more important you can cook and flash custom roms in it and in some cases even port a completely new OS!

That is something truly amazing with this tech-wonder and it can be done with very few devices. The fact that it ain't even advertised by T-Mo or any other carrier for me that's only a plus. By the way, that also mean you can get one on d1 without having to walk over people sleeping in a tent from the night before :D

So, to all the iphone users: keep the earth man, I want the moon! :D

Just kidding of course. :)
[HD2 General] bokechukwu1:
I feel as if its a plus they are'nt marketing it as well, **** it makes it that much easier for me to grab one of my own honestly ill be ready and waiting on the morning of the 24th honestly. So they can keep the phone underground so to speak for all i care i love it, its intended for us power users anyway as mentioned before this phone isnt for the average joe because they will be very disappointed once they find the messagin trouble, poosible pink hue in camera, 6.5 bugs, battery not lasting as one other member said the list goes on and on.. Also whats funny to me is some casual useres see the phone on youtube and etc and think its easy operation but I believe once the retards get the phone they will ***** about it because of all the various and very fixable bugs that they will not be able to figure out and take it back to the store honestly, talking about how bad the phone is when we all know at XDA the phone is nothing short of beibg a beast especially with all the tweaks that can be done to it
[HD2 General] Damitu:
What I'm worried about..

When I get this phone from

the store, naturally, I'm going

to want to tweak it..already

have a list of .cab files I want

to load on it.

But, once you go flashing different

roms to the phone and for some

reason or another damage it

what are the chances of just

acting dumb and taking the

phone back to the store?
[HD2 General] sleepwalkers:
Was this supposed to be a poem?

Anyway, your chances of returning a phone with a cooked ROM at a retail store are pretty good. To be honest, it seems like most of the reps don't really even care, since they just toss the phone in a box and it goes back to corporate. I've seen and known people who have returned multiple phones with something other than the stock ROM on their phone.
[HD2 General] lude219:
Yea, until it reach the mfgr's repair shop and they opens up your phone to find that you're using a cooked ROM and tell you that you're not covered under the warranty. Sure, the customer rep might not know ****, but I'm sure the mfgrs do.

Just flash in a stock TmoUS ROM before you ship it in. It'll even replace your bootloader/HSPL.
[HD2 General] deweylima:
There has been some mention in this thread of T-mobile offering 2 for the price of 1 (or buy 1 get the second free).

Can anyone confirm if this is correct?

Thanks
[HD2 General] alexsql:
Yes

It is correct, it is called BOGO promotion and runs from March 15 to March 31, HD2 will be included in the promo when it becomes available on 24th or earlier.

The promotion is valid only on two new lines on Even More plan
[HD2 General] Raspster:
Anyone see this pic yet? Yuk, they really know how to use that RAM and leave us with nothing. I though this guy was going to have atleast 600mb free. This sucks!

http://twitpic.com/191e1r
[HD2 General] deweylima:
Great thank you. I guess it was too much to ask for to be "two for one" at the unsubsidized price.

I was planning to pick up two at the unsubsidized price to get the better priced plan and not be tied up for two years.

Now I think I may have to consider going with the contract pricing in order to get the two for one.
[HD2 General] AllTheWay:
Question for you if you don't mind. Would it be possible to purchase the HD2 with a data only plan for the same $199 for the phone.
[HD2 General] jimecm:
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/03/double-the-pleasure-double-the-fun/
[HD2 General] HushH:
If you search for data only plans on T-Mobile's website and choose the $49.99 unlimited web & e-mail plan for smartphones, it will take you to a list of phones you can select with that plan. The HD2 is listed there as coming soon, so it looks like you will be able to do exactly that.
[HD2 General] AllTheWay:
Very nice. I just called a local T-Mobile store in the Sacramento, CA area. I was told I wouldn't be able to get just a data only plan for the HD2. However there website says different. I bet I can just call and get one after I start up service.

Looks like I will be getting a HD2 on Wednesday March 24th.
[HD2 General] takeda240:
i find this conversation hilarious ... i work for a walmart in a phodunk ass town apopka florida and we have the hd2 in its glorious black box i held it ... amazing .. the girl who showed it to me said its (obviously) not on sale yet but its 500 or 550 off contract and they dont know the 2yr pricing
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Oh, thats cool.

Also, im going with the BOGO thing.

Me and my mom are signing up at the same time, so we will port over our numbers and then make 2 new lines.

Is there any problem there? Or will I have to call CS to do this?
[HD2 General] docsparks:
I got to mess around with one today at my Tmo hookup, and its pretty damn impressive.

Im not sure if i would trade the huge, and i mean HUGE and AMAZING looking screen, with the windows OS, for my slightly smaller, duller screen, with android.

im happy with my n1 and all, but damn that phone was nice, and

i actually liked the shape.. phone sized for man hands.

the interface i thought was pretty nice, not my n1, but still pretty snazzy.
[HD2 General] zchen:
I just hope HD2 is still compatible with $5.99 tzones and they don't pull that IMEI checking they do with their android phones. Best case scenario for me would be use upgrade on one line to get it at $199 without signing up for data plan and then be able to use $5.99 tzone with it on my main line
[HD2 General] Titicaca:
Is it locked or unlocked for 450 bucks...can i use att sim under edge?
