Hi all,

Just after some advice. I bought a HTC HD2 when they were first launched. I upgraded the phone to 1.66 via a goldcard method (? the turkish release that came out). Since then the phone has not been upgraded. My wife is the main user and is still expriencing intemittent problems with the phone. Main ones being--

1- The Proximity sensor doesn't work that well. When on calls she sends random DTMF or hangs up on the caller. Seems to be her cheek on the keypad. I tried a screen lock app (name?)- but that caused other problems with the unlock intermitently not working.

2- If I enable HDSPA high speed comms it sometimes locks her SMS outbox

3- When composing SMS, it sometime locks so you can't compose. You have to wait quite a few seconds before trying again.

4- Other minor niggles.

When the phones works ok- it's very good. When the bugs kick in she wants to launch it thru the window. It's mostly used for business hence the need for reliable operation.

Anyway is it worth waiting for HTC to come out with official Ver 2.x software, whenever that might be. Or should in pick a ROM from the Development page and load that and hope??

Please advise!
[HD2 General] danfard:
Hi there,

Entirely up to you whether you upgrade, but I upgraded from 1.61 to a 2.01 Rom (Miri's) and the phone has performed faster, is more stable & includes additional features.

It was the first time I ever installed a cooked ROM, and I'd do the same again!

Regards,

Dan.

Hi, can anywhere edit my Lockscreen?

please remove the tasbar and the white shadow under the slider

here you are,

you have to rename it and copy and overwrite to /windows

und wegen der taskleiste, kann man die nicht ausblenden? ohne das ich HDWall benutze?

He says, that he wants to use his own slider and just wanted to remove the white shadow, which curiously appears at each PNG. He wants to know if there is the possibility to change something in the values.

Also, he wants to know if he can just let the taskbar disappear without using HDWall.

Is it possible to make the HD mini lockscreen background a large image that is 800x480 so that we actually SWIPE the image down? Kinda like the windows phones series 7?

Get it? Anyone???
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jumranb:
When I receive a new SMS, the unread count increases, but nothing shows up in the inbox. I have already tried running the Fix Unread Count utility, but that is not the problem - the unread count is correct, and increases as it should when I get a new SMS, but the new SMS does not show up in the inbox.

I have tried searching the forums and Google, but everything I find always discusses the incorrect count, or read SMS not being marked read. I cannot find anything about how to see new SMS messages not shown in the inbox. Does anyone have any suggestions or fixes?

Thanks!

Edit: So I apparently cannot type properly, and do not know how to change the thread title.

What shall I do ?

PS. On orginal HTC ROM bluetooth receiver is OK :)

I'd like to replicate my current setup in two respects.

With the HD2 is it possible to:

Send an automatic bcc on every email I send.

Have replies I send come from a specified account regardless of which account it came in on.

I know Flexmail is not currently a viable alternative.

Hello, I have some problems with my HD2...

1. I've decided to install a new ROM - Rom duttys 2.3 PTG. But when I want to install a Swype something go wrong...The installation process is OK. But after, when I want to change the keyboard to Swype the system is going down, and I have an information "System EnglishOS not found..." And I have to restart my HD2 and uninstall the Swype keyboard to work normally...

2. do you know any .cab that change from 3 to 4 or 5 icons (they are on Today screen)?

3.I'm using JWMD and CSMI program to change start icon...But I would like to change also the icon on the Today screen...I've changed the icon on the start screen, but when I go to Today screen there is still the same old "ugly" icon...even after restart....

Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Arclaud:
The answer to your third question is rather simple...

Browse to \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher and delete the icon you wish to see changed. Restart your device afterwards.

Hello Guys,

Today I installed a cab to my phone. Usally I have around 100MB free on my device. But today there where only around 10MB?

I searched around and found a mysterious directory in the Application Data directory called "Volatile" which exactly eats up the missing space...

I said to myself, mhh are you trying to move that directory to storage card and risk a hard-reset? I did it and my device still works.

But I want to know from where this directory "Volatile" came?!

Scilor
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the app data\volatile folder is a system temp folder. clearing shouldn't be a problem (unless maybe you clear it before restarting after installing something, perhaps).

You can also reg edit the location to move it to your storage card, at

hklm\system\filesys and change the path.
[HD2 General] scilor:
Thank you, so what exctly it is for?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
its the wm5 and above equivalent of \temp in wm2003. just somewhere the system dumps files, especially when installing and such like. so long as nothing is running when you do, just empty it now and again.
[HD2 General] ppcppcppc:
Keep it off!

As for the HD2 - you may NOT delete this folder!

Reason for my frequent hardresetting in the past was deleting this folder - directly or by third party apps to gain storage space.

If you did so - your phone won't be able to recognize soundformats - it won't ring or play anything after deleting this folder!

Cover arts will be skipped very fast, because sense thinks that tracks are played in no time. Very frustrating bug.

Discovered it this morning ... and wanted to share it with the community as none knows about that.
[HD2 General] scilor:
I never had a problem with this, I only deleted the content. But thank you for that info.

So I will now just move the files to my SD card :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:

Agree'd, it's quite pathetic to tell the truth. I just use Opera 10 and view facebook in full html. Yeah, it's not the fastest but it looks better than facebook mobile and Microsoft's facebook app.

I just don't understand how Microsoft could let the world's most active social networking site slip past their only mobile OS. I guess they are just too busy working on WP7S. :|

strange, I've never got one notification from the Facebook app in 2 years (since I had it on my Shadow too) do you have to always keep it running in order for you to get notifications??

no, whenever you start the app just press refresh an thats it.

Hi,

This weekend I upgraded my CDMA Hero to DamageControl. Let me say.. WOW.. it is great....

there are a few minor issues..

-gallery landscape issues

-vvm... but Google Voice is great!

-no Sprint TV

-upgrade Radio???

I am here to ask.. should I upgrade the Radio?

did some research and I am getting mixed feeling on this. Since in the past, only real way to brick your phone is to mess with the radio... and all the others that have major issues with the new Radio.

I am having cold feet about this!!

I can see that I am low in signal strength. and my standby time/ 50% of the time my phone is looking for coverage. My battery is not as good as it was before my new 2.1 ROM.

It looks like I should get the 2.41.04.02.(03) version

NOT the (02) version. RIGHT?

Any feedback??

Im in for other's opinions on this. I already upgraded the radio but cant seem to be able to update PRL and signal icon has low bars all the time, even if my wife's Hero has all the bars.

[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
Yeah.. I have read that.. and mine was already on CDMA auto PRL.... and 50%

I dont want to be on CDMA only... because.. I think that it will cause lower connectivity.
[Hero CDMA General] lgevo:
Our phones can only use CDMA so i am pretty sure it will not effect connectivity.... unless i am missing something.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
You want it set to CDMA only, otherwise you get problems
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:

I installed the radio right after upgrading to fresh 2.0b. My phone has been doing just fine since. I didn't know at the time that it could brick my phone. Glad it didn't. I am happy with the radio.
[Hero CDMA General] MrTrip:
Seems that I can no longer check an option to send callers directly to voicemail like I did in 1.5....

Example:

It used to be right under Add, it would be a check box to send all calls directly to voicemail. I approve of this function because I hate that kid that calls me ALL THE TIME asking for help with EVERYTHING electronic because he thinks I'm some kind of walking google :mad:
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I found it. Add the contact, then go into the People app, and then click who you want to send to voicemail. Scroll down to the "Information" section, and then turn on Send to voicemail.

I have sprint data card plan (cheap and unlimited) and I am under contract with t-mobile for GSM. this is the only phone that supports both GSM and CDMA modes... is there a way or reg hack to use gsm service from one carrier and CDMA service from another (data only)

Final Qn, is there a touch flo hack for a tab to quickly switch between the radios?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] bestfan:
SPRINT TP2 is unable to standby with GSM and CDMA at same time, you have to switch off one then active other one...

if you want standby with 2 networks, buy HTC T8388 in china, it supports standby with GSM and CDMA at same time

So... I already signed up for GVoice with my primary gmail account (the same gmail account I use for contacts and sync with the phone)

I have another gmail account and a GVoice invite, however I dont know if GVoice (app) will allow me to use it with another account.

What do you think?
[Hero CDMA General] tstack77:
I think you need to explain the issue a little more...what are you trying to do now?
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
Sorry...

I use example1@gmail.com to sync all my android stuff. Contacts, primary e-mail, etc...

I signed up for a GVoice account using the example1@gmail.com many months ago to use with Sip Sorcery/SipGate (for VoIP). So when you first create a Gvoice account, it asks if you want to forward your number for voicemail purposes, or create a new google number. I chose the latter option. Created a new google phone number, so I am unable to use the visual voicemail feature. You can not change this option.

I also have another google account, we'll call example2@gmail.com.

If I sign up for a google voice account using example2@gmail.com, can I still use the google voice application on my phone for visual voicemail, even thouh the google voice account isn't associated with my "normal" google account that is used by android to sync.

That makes a bit more sense now that I read it back, dont know if I can simplify it anymore :-P

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
yeah.. I dont know exactly what u are asking. So can not help.

guessing ...

I would use the main account.. dont worry about the invite account.

You need to logon via a computer into Google Voice... using the main account on the phone. Then you can activate it.. by calling the *28xxxxxxxxxxx number it gives you.

That will activate it.

To help get your vm faster. Have it send you an SMS. That will get your phone to refresh and get your message faster. Then have the SMS program blacklist that phone number, so that you dont get double notifications.
[Hero CDMA General] tstack77:
Why?

GVoice just acts as your VVM, you do not need to mess with any new/different numbers. Follow Dan330's advice and it will work just fine.
[Hero CDMA General] badbrewb:
Short Answer: Yes, Long Answer: No

I had the same thought and google has already taken some measures to prevent "cheating" the system. I was successfully able to invite another one of my gmail accounts and sign up. I got a new number and everything was great. The problem I ran into was when you confirm a gv account, it actually calls your phone. It knows that a number is already in use and won't add it to another gv account. No matter how much I search and try I cannot find a way to use one phone on two different gv accounts. I have two google voice accounts and I cannot have them work on the same real phone at the same time. I can on the other hand sort of trick the app into letting me login to the other account which isn't registered to this phone but it is more of a hassle than it is worth in my opinion. I actually just bit the bullet and made google voice my voicemail on my sprint phone so that makes my life a little easier since visual voicemail isn't working on 2.1 yet. Here is a link. Ok well I cannot post a link. Google this "Activating Google voicemail for your non-Google number" I actually was able to dial a number from my phone to activate it. I found this link afterwards and it is really simple and straight forward.

Good Luck,

B
[Hero CDMA General] VinceOB:
When you install Google Voice and when you start it for the first time it will ask if you want to use x@gmail.com. It will also have a option to use another account below...All you have to do is try it...
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
Wow, you don't have strong reading comprehension skills do you?

I stated in my post that I ALREADY HAVE (as in PAST TENSE). Ive had that google voice account since anybody even though of putting 2.1 on the hero.

[Hero CDMA General] dmitriandsnow:
You can sync gmail, contacts, calendar and picasa using example 1. Use example2 to register for GV and you will have visual voicemail.
