I don't get this at all. . . using the buttons on the side of the phone is the easiest way to adjust volume, period.

If the 15 levels of selectable volume via volume keys dont meet the accurate reqirements (i'm quite partial to having no more nor less than 73% myself),

you can always slide over to Settings > Sounds

you can then adjust volume from 0% to 100% for the rings & system seperately.
[Touch2 General] hdr87:
Hi Weznezz,

I am happy using the volume keys, but i would also like to know if there is any possibility of using the volume icon, to change the volume from the screen.
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
In previous WM builts you could do that indeed which I also liked......for some reason they took it away......:(

Will search and when I find something report back....
[Touch2 General] hdr87:
Hi Frank,

Thank you very much for understanding my request. Will be waiting for your response.

ok so i used to own an hd2 w/c got runover by a car(dont ask why or how coz it still breaks my heart thinking about it)so i bought a lower model pocket pc(samsung b7610).now im thinking,would it be possible to replace my samsungs processor and ram with the processor and ram from the hd2?that would make the b7610 a much faster and powerful phone.im just pondering if such a thing is possible coz i know for a fact that its only the motherboard of the hd2 that is irrepairably damaged and i feel other parts of it could be put to good use.any thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
No it isn't possible.

However you can try to sell the parts of your HD2.

I understand it is very frustrating if you damage your phone by accident.

Good luck with it!

We have 3 Tmobile Dash phones. One of them is very buggy, both on Kavana 6.1 and still after updating to 3volution 6.5. It reboots, crackles, freezes requiring battery pull, it's getting impossible to use. I'm thinking it's a hardware problem since the other 2 are fine running the same rom. We've switched batteries and sim cards to see if that was the problem. It appears to be the phone. Anything else I should try before giving up on it? Are there any utilities that might help?
[HTC Excalibur] winda:
I may have screwed up... I downloaded and flashed the official Tmobile rom and now it won't boot. :(
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Did you try to hard reset? If not try that and see if that can help.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
No you haven't if they are T-mobile branded. Try to get in bootloader and flash one of the official roms here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381726.
[HTC Excalibur] winda:
I have it flashed to the latest official T-Mobile rom now (yes, it's a T-Mobile Dash.) I can get it to boot maybe once out of 10 tries and then it only stays on for a couple of minutes before shutting off. Most of the time it displays the T-Mobile logo as it's booting then makes a weird sound (like the start-up sound in a fast loop) and shuts off immediately. As bad as it was, it was more stable under 6.5. I'm afraid to try flashing now because it won't stay on long enough to load the rom.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Sounds like you need a new battery.
[HTC Excalibur] winda:
That's what I thought too... but since we have 3 of these phones it was easy to switch batteries, and it doesn't appear to be the case because this phone has problems regardless of which battery is in it, the others are fine with either battery. Now that you mention it though... this phone was fine for a few hours after switching batteries, so maybe there's something wrong with the charging port?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Full charge a battery in other phone then place in problem phone now run it see if you get a problem and if @ a certain percentage, now when @ 10% battery turn phone off place the phone on charge "full charge".. Test phone.

Today my Sprint Snap 511 popped up a dialog that asked me if i wanted to accept or reject a new firmware update. I'm happy with how the phone has been performing, so i rejected the update pending some research.

anyone have an idea what this was? is it winmo 6.5? some sort of minor update? how do i even get back to that dialog if i want to accept the firmware update?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] DarrenUtd:
I have the same question. Noone knows anything?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] freakb18c1:
i got the update it seem'ed to have improved battery life i have not charged my phone since the update, about 48 hours ago .... maybe :confused:
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Dr.Gizmo:
Firmware Update for Sprint Snap--->DO NOT DO IT!

I installed it, and while the phone seemed to work well at first, it does one thing that will render your phone almost useless.

You can no longer change your default ringer, even to one of the pre-installed ringers.

In fact, I cannot even set the phone to vibrate.

HTC will tell you to do a hard reset but it will

not fix

the firmware problem.

So

DO NOT INSTALL THE FIRMWARE UPDATE!

It is not a WM6.5 update.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] mala19:
I saw someone post in another forum that after they did the firmware update they could not change their ringer and they also could not receive text messages. They could send text messages though. I'm definitely going to wait.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] digijuan:
Does anybody have any of the old firmware that they can upload? this new firmware is just ridiculous.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] jxzee121:
I agree with Dr. Gizmo. DO NOT download this new firmware.

I have been noticing something odd with my yahoo! email service on my Snap. I used to be able to attach multiple pictures into one email message. Now, I can no longer attach pictures in my email message. If I want to send an image via email, I have to locate the file in my album, then click 'send in email.' This is extremely frustrating, as I can only send one message with one attached file at a time.

I thought by doing a reset of the factory settings this would remedy the solution. I was wrong! After backing up my files and defaulting all of the settings, now my ringer is stuck at the default option. I can change it from silent, to work, to normal. However, I can make no changes to the actual ringer, ie "standard2, melody, drums, etc, etc."

I was half asleep when I pressed "accept" when prompted the firmware update. I wish I had pressed "Decline."

DO NOT accept the firmware updates.

Does anyone know a work around? Is there anyway we can reverse the firmware updates?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] PirateTD:
I have the same problem as all of you and I feel like an idiot for accepting the update when it popped up on my phone on March 24. I cannot change my wallpaper to a picture of my own or change the main ring tones. I called HTC support and they told me they sent NO firmeware updates out and that I should hard reset the phone. Do not hard reset the phone as this DOES NOT correct the problem...which really scares me because if a hard reset does not work then what the heck will.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the update or undo it?

Also, if HTC did not send out the update, it might have been an update that windows sent out and they are to blame. This needs to be addressed and fixed soon. By the way Sprint, please don't tell people to hard reset the phone...That DOES NOT fix this error.

Please help anyone

PirateTD,

You should be able to change your homescreen background image (wallpaper) from the menu at the bottom of the htc homescreen.

The ringer won't change from anywhere :(
[Dash 3G, Snap General] PirateTD:
SnapJoeSnap

Nope..changing wallpaper overall is not working.. try to change the wallpaper to one of your personal pics and it will say "Unable to set picture as Home screen wallpaper."

it will say this no matter what picture you try to change it to and this DID NOT start until the windows update.

If you go under settings and click on homescreen and then change it under where it says background image, it will change it but it will not change it to what you select. I have selected multiple different images under here and it either stays the same or changes it to something TOTALLY different from what you selected and i have no idea but it wont let you pick a wallpaper now.

Please try this everyone and let me know what it does to ypu
[Dash 3G, Snap General] PirateTD:
Anyone have any idea how to get the old ROM prior to the update and how to install in on the phone..

[Dash 3G, Snap General] SnapJoeSnap:
Funny thing, this win mobile is... I went through start>settings>home screen and I CAN change the picture setting to whatever I like (it does not give me the error) BUT the image displayed won't change. :eek: If I go back to settings>home I can see that the change stuck, but the picture won't change even thou it looks like the wallpaper is 'refreshing'. I was sure I could and did as I rechecked before posting and I would get the "error..." message from settings>homescreen but not from HTC Home sliding panel AND I saw the diff pic in the wallpaper. :confused:

EDIT: Wait just a minute... I can't insert files into emails!!! What the...???
[Dash 3G, Snap General] digijuan:
Yes it would be. Can anyone help us guys out?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] G_Buzz:
Sorry I can not help you with uninstalling the firmware update, but I can tell you this the update if from neither HTC nor Microsoft it is a Sprint Firmware update. The word is the update that has caused problems for our phone was released in part to put an end to the practice of using the phones data services on our laptops. As much as I do not agree as to how Sprint has handeled this I understand their reasons with some people taking advantage of this ability to hog bandwith with torrent downloads, watching movies... So if you are one of these people thank you very much and as a Sprint user I do not want to see Sprints service affected like ATT's with not being able to make calls because everyone is using their IPhones. Get your self an aircard!

Ok I have found a few work arounds to the main ringer and the home screen picture issue.

The first work around the Home Screen Picture - thanks to the update above and a locked registery the settings panel no longer works... But if you use the Picture and Video app (included with the phone) to set your home screen back ground picture. Just open the image you want to use with the app and with the use of the "menu" you can set your home screen image there.

The main ringer is a little different but along the same lines. Making this change requires something along the lines of a ringtome manager that allows you to change the main ringer in it, and the phone does not come with one. However I did a trial version of Photo Contact Pro that had this ability. Now I did not care for Photo Contact Pro after trying it out but still it allowed me to change the main ringer while I had it on my phone. Now I can no longer change my main ringer because I uninstalled the App but then because it was a trial version it did not cost me anything. So if you really need to change your ringer once here is an option, however if you are one of those who wants to change their ringer on a regular basis, you will then have to find an app that will allow you to did this or wait until a fix is released.

As far as an email issue someone wrote about here you will need to double check your email account settings. I had problems sending emails from my phone and found the auto settings were not correct for the smtp (out going mail) server and I had to set them manualy...

[HD2 General] tri0xinn:
Ok.. so I'm going down to get my HD2 today... Any reviews on scratch resistance compared to a non scratch resistant phone? Like my women I like my phone as naked as possible all the time.. I usually keep my phones out of cases and without screen protectors.. but this one with such a giant shiny screen I'm considering.

Opinions? Anyone with a few months of unaltered/uncovered Hd2 experience... comments would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
if you search this on youtube (or even google) you'll find a video proving just how ridiculously scratch proof the screen is.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I pretty much guarantee you're about to get a torrent of comments, all from people insisting that the screen is 100% scratch resistant and that you're a fool if you waste money on a screen protector. 99% of posts on this subject do say that. However, I have seen about 4 or 5 posts in the past 5 months (since getting mine and therefore ending up on this forum) stating that it's not impervious to scratches. There's a few people out there that do wish they'd got screen protectors.

You'll also be linked (no doubt) to a video on YouTube of a guy using keys and a razor blade on the screen. (Edit: Lol - see above!) These leave no apparent scratches, but it does scratch the screen. It scratches it in a manner that is so slight that it can be wiped off, but it will come back again. Trust me - that's what happened to mine. I have since applied a screen protector and have never seen it since. (The scratches are so slight that you can't see them, but natural oils on your skin make it show up, so you end up having to clean it off after every use. A screen protector obviously stops any oils or greasiness getting in there, which is why I've never seen it again.)

Anyway, for the sake of a few quid, I personally think you'd be daft not to. It a "just in case" measure, but I'd rather have a screen protector and not need it, than regret not getting one.

Incidentally, if you do look into getting a protector, I'd highly recommend the one I got. You can take it off and wash it if you get stuff behind it when you apply it! It's great for me as I seem to attract dust and cat hairs!

http://www.protectionfilms24.com/article/vikuiti-dqc-160-screen-protector-htc-hd2-28087.html

A bit more pricey than most, but 3 for 2 is good and it really is a good protector.

Hope this helps mate :)

[HD2 General] ruscik:
Screens on HD2 are the same type of crap screen as on Iphony. They are made from glass so not so resistant to drops and hits as any other HTC screen. Trust me screens from other HTC's are super durable as I dropped my phone on m-way at m-way speed from my motorcyce and phone was working no cracks on screen.

I have put screen protector because screen is less sensitive and ghost touches do not appear so often but also because protector is plastic it provides extra layer of protection for screen.
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
At first I thought HD2 was really scratch resistant. But when I saw my friend who was trying to install a cheap screen protector on his HD2 with my credit card, I changed my mind. After installing the screen protector, which result was really bad with too many bubbles, he took it out, cleaned the screen again with cloth. And guess what, under the bright light, we noticed a small hair line scratch, really hardly noticeable, but, definitely by the credit card.

So please dont believe in these videos. Put in a screen protector for your HD2. Try martin fields or brando, they are 99% clear so your HD2 will still be naked as u wish.
[HD2 General] mb76:
I dropped my phone today, only from no more then 6-7 inches, it slid along the ground screen side down for a couple of feet, fearing the worst I grabbed it and was surprised at how little damage there was, the case has a scuff where it hit the floor and there are very light scratches on the screen but only barely visible under direct bright light.

Gutted that it's marked already but hey could of been a lot worse
[HD2 General] tri0xinn:
thanks for the replies... well I picked up the Hd2 and so far so good.. loving it.. especially now that I'm tethering at work at fantastic speeds.. and incoming calls can come in and the tethering continues to work.. kicks my palm pre's butt in that regard.

As far as screen protector.. I'm gonna throw one on.. if it annoys me I'll remove it and not worry about it.

Thanks again for the input

Sorry for the noob question , but ..

Where are the email ( builtin app ) attachments physicallly saved ?

SD card somewhere ?

I've been searching , but I don't find them ?

Thanx for any information ...
[Nexus One General] prettyboy85712:
On your sdcard under default download.
[Nexus One General] pvillasuso:
Thanks , but no luck here ! :(

I can see the downloaded attachtments @ mail ..., but can's find them physically in the phone or in the sdcard :confused:

Files attached are .apk 30kb -as an example- ...
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I just downloaded a picture from an email

I went to /sdcard/download and there it was.

Something weird must be happening on your phone then.

are you actually downloading the file or just clicking on preview from the email apk
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Attachments are not downloaded until you hit download. The they will go to sd/download/.

Clicking preview ! < open button >

I see the little droid with da clip ! I click on open , I don't see any "download" option in the menu :confused: .

So... I asume it's already downloaded ! but not where you all say guys ! :eek:

edit : I changed from built-in to k9mail .. and now is working fine .. they are saved at /sdcard (root)

Thank You all for the help , maybe YES ... something is wrong with my built-in mail ! :D
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Clicking Preview doesn't download.

Also, I think only certain files can be downloaded.

I just tested with a .RAR file attached to an email and there was no Preview button and no Download button.

With a jpg attached, there were both buttons.

It's probably a security feature, so you can only download certain file types...
[Nexus One General] pvillasuso:
Yeah , must be that ... ( I sent to myself an .apk file )

Mystery Solved then ! :cool:

Thanx again Paul ! and all of you guys !
[Nexus One General] palosjr:
anytime... FWIW, you can just change the extension to .jpg or .txt and you should be able to download it then. once you have it downloaded just change the extension back to .apk or .zip

actually... not too sure if you can change extension file types on the phone...
[Nexus One General] pvillasuso:
Good idea !

I had this problem .. found some apps ( .apk ) and wanted to install them ..

BUT .... I forgot the usb cable @ home ... :D so decided to email them , and then I had the second problem .. where da fu... are the "downloaded" files ??? :eek:

So... I found the websharing app .. OMG .. what a great tool "online SDcard" using wifi ( maybe I'll buy the app to have full features )

And got the job done ! Files @ my SDcard ..

Finally .. I tried to replicate the same email problem using K9Mail ... but I did get the "save" option

That s the whole Tale !

Hi!

Does anyone know what kinds of changes was made to WM or IE from version 6.1 to 6.5, that might interfere with javascript built sites? Any tips on how to even try and debug the problem when this particular site that's mostly javascript does not work the way its supposed to on the newer WM 6.5?

for those wishing to upgrade to the EVO/supersonic please read this

http://phandroid.com/2010/03/24/4g-front-facing-cam-hdmi-out-get-dev-help-from-sprint/

This right here has changed my mind as I was still middle of the road about getting it after yesterday's reviews.

Basically what is going on is what happened to the hero. A 1.5 mashup with cdma support that caused us to basically be incompatible with other roms for a long time untill aosp 1.6 and 2.1 builds came out. 1.5 not having support for cdma technology. The linked article states that 2.1 R2 does not have 4g support as of yet. This isn't a game stopper, in my belief, and will probally run 2.1 just fine under 3g, but I'm not taking the chance of the problem running deeper for the simple fact of that, I really like my cross platform development. With a custom 2.1 release will probably come a non-standard kernel version as well. And potential lack of being able to root right out of the box. It might also lack ports of other android devices until some official build higher than 2.1 comes out.

Not attempting to discourage anyone here from going to the evo, just trying to inform the uninformed of potential downsides. I'm personally going to the nexus, regardless of that sexy big screen and kickstand *sigh*

Thanks,

-Grant
[EVO 4G General] jlechner:
says the devs are working hard on support for 4g though. As much hype that it has generated already, I have no doubt that devs will have everything compatible within a very short time period.
[EVO 4G General] abcdfv:
I don't see it taking too long for Google to release an Android Froyo with built in WiMAX support, especially since it's coming out over the Summer. As far as how long it's going to take HTC/Sprint to release it... Well us Hero users can vouch for them not having very timely releases. (kernel source anyone?)
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
I'm sure sprint and google will have it working... no doubt... but making the same changes to what's out there right now... or what comes in the near future... might be a challange for xda developers not sprint ones.
[EVO 4G General] fupamobile:
i thin it will be fine. its advertised as the first 4g phone in america and its not coming out until summer. thats a long time in cell phone years
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
Agreed. I guess the hope is just that the 4G compatibility trickles in from Google and not from HTC.
[EVO 4G General] LordLugard:
Mild fail, i'd say. You haven't even deterred me an ounce from not molesting this phone at launch. Nothing you mentioned is a potential downside when the fixes will be done by summer's launch. Why don't we actually get the device in hand first, start hacking away and then proclaim all the doom we want, eh?? It's still at least ~3 months away.
