do a quick search in google for "fonesafe insurance review" and you wont be surprised to find that more than 97% (if not more) of all fonesafe customers are extremely pissed off with their CON service.
[HD2 General] shandoli:
ummmm no, only people who have issues bother to post online. the rest just get their new phones and enjoy it. 2 of my friends have gotten brand new phones through them, 1 for screen and the other for losing it.

STOP SPOUTING BS!!
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
if they are really that good, then why are we having this discussion? and the BS about only people having issues bother to post online is again, BS. if again they are that good, lots of people will be giving positive feedback and recommending it to everyone. it's like ebay, or amazon, the reputation of the insurance company is judged by real life customers. i dont see any reason why if they are really that good that almost all the reviews i dug up about them are nothing but rubbish, unless fonesafe is really rubbish. i myself am having first hand experience with their extremely poor customer service. even my co-workers on other network told me fonesafe is total crap.
[HD2 General] shandoli:
Listen you drama queen. You think T mobile would endorse these guys if they were rubbish? Get off your high horse and be a bit patient.
[HD2 General] rumz82:
Everyone should check with their home insurance policies as most of them would cover your personal possessions(sp;)) including mobile phones. It will cover for lost or stolen phones.
[HD2 General] madpete:
Guys, just insure your phone on the house insurance...all mobile insurance is a con.

It costs me £20 per YEAR to insure my phone (also covers the wifes phone too) against loss and damage.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
Thats fine if you own a house! Most student insurance wont cover mobiles etc unless you have a addition premium

I pay £4.99 a month with O2
[HD2 General] r4xkx:
Fonesafe what a joke of a company !

Shadoli...... you dont happen to work for fonesafe do you?? Why the hell does it seem to bother you so much to believe that there a shody company? Fonesafe insurance is a big con i have had it since 2006 and never had to make a claim up till now and they've constantly increased my d/d without any paperwork and when questioned they said the premiums had gone up fair enough water so i was paying full premium when it comes to claiming. I dont get any accessories covered although I pay the full new premiums which it should be included in as im an old loyal customer im on the old t&c's so i dont get any of that but still pay for it so i also had to pay £10 for a sim and no cover for my mem card and case.

They are willing to take my money every month but not willing to replace my phone as it has been discontinued ok fare enough but at least they should have the courtesy to offer me something decent but no that's too much to ask they as they claim as my phone was discontinued its not worth as much as it was before and they could only offer me something of a lower value. The least they can do is match the spec as it says in there agreement its a total rip of and there are better companies offering cheaper insurance now.

As soon as my claim is settled whether it be through fonesafe or through my lawyer just on principle they are gona get it!

alexnvidia - Goood luck ! :)

Shadoli - I hope you'r with fonesafe and have the pleasure of claiming from them
[HD2 General] FloatHeavy:
BBBBWWWWAAAHAHAHA....Are you serious? Do you really have faith in your courrier?

MY answer is YES I KNOW T-MOBILE WOULD ENDORSE THEM IF THEY WERE RUBBISH. As long as the money talks the big biz is going to walk that walk. All electronics vendors eventually pickup a ****ty insurance policy or third party and it's always shotty. They give enough to keep credibility up, but if something falls thru a crack, THEY HAVE YOU FOR DINNER.

I don't get why everyone's always siding with a damn carrier or big company. WHEN will you realize they don't give two rubbers if they messed up. They got money from you for several years straight and now there's nothing you can do.

I don't know anything about a Fonsafe or anything. But I can tell you, INSURANCE IS ALWAYS FAITH BASED. You are putting a huge "what if" in the hands of people who have your money first. It's easy for things to go foul and in insurance biz, they often do. It's lucrative and all about profiting off our need for security.

Plz get off the tshmo nutz and get real.
[HD2 General] imaginarynumber:
I lost my phone back in March. On returning to the uk I rang them. They wouldn't cover me because I didn't realise that you need a crime number if you lose it whilst abroad.

I didn't know that, my bad for not having done so.

The thing that really peed me off was that they continued to take the monthly premium even thought they knew I no longer had the phone.

I rang them and they said that I hadn't cancelled the contract- I explained that I had assumed that it was obvious that i no longer wanted cover for a phone that I had reported as lost and that I had blacklisted.

Tough was their reply you should have read the T&Cs

I tried to get my money back under the direct debit mandate but they blocked it.

They are scum and owe me nearly £80.

If you want insurance use a third party company- have a look at money supermarket dot com.
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
i`m with tmobile uk, think i`m with fonesafe too. gotta say think there **** myself. unhappy with having to pay money to them when making a claim, thought the monthly direct debits were to cover this??????? they wanted an extra £25 when i had to claim because my screen was smashed. the next time i have to make a claim this goes up to £50 then next time its £75!!!! may have to claim again because my phone wont charge so there`s an extra £50 i`l have to pay. there a ****ing joke! 02 were the best phone company i`v been with like a couple of guys have mentioned. 48hr delivery no extra charges involved, no nonsense.
[HD2 General] imaginarynumber:
t-mobile compile a spreadsheet of customer complaints about fonesafe on a weekly basis. They do not take into account the severity of complaint- eg the fact that they have been stealing money from my account.

This spreadsheet under represents the degree to which Cpp fonesafe are shafting customers given that not everyone will take their complaint to t-mobile.

If fonesafe really gave a **** about customers they would not make you dial a 0845 number- they would have a 0300 number.

When I get the time I will report them to the FSA and set up a paypallsucks type site in the USA to warn people that they are scum.

I did email t-mob and to be fair a UK based member of staff rang me back- he admitted that fonesafe were out of order but said that his hands were tied.

I accused t-mobile of washing their hands of the situation. I reminded him that the instore staff aggressively push fonesafe and that had it not been recommended at the point of sale I would have probably got a better deal elsewhere.

He said that he would phone their contact at ****safe, unfortunately I lost his direct line and am waiting for someone at t-mobile to get him to let me know how it went.

I was treated with contempt by foneunsafe but t-mobile are in part responsible and I may well leave them because of fonesafe. i have been with t-mob for 13 years and do not particularly want to leave them but they are making money from the misery of their customers.
[HD2 General] bates_1974:
Best thing to do in future would be to put it on your house insurance or through your bank depending on what type of account you have and services they offer. I get phone insurance included on my current account with Halifax, I think Lloyds and several other offer the same.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
@ Elbophoto

Serves you right for having a gay phone :p ....jk!

That level of service is absolutely disgusting, If I was you I would NOT accept the refurb, I know it will mean more waiting but its the principle now, and I would also make a claim against the company for the phone calls and ring trading standards who will look into it for you and possibly help with claim or point you in right direction.

You should have a look or get a solicitor to look at your policy for you.
[HD2 General] gregianos:
The unfortunate part of these stories is that not enough people report these sham outfits to the FSA or the financial ombudsman service when they fly in the face of their own terms and conditions.

When submitting an insurance claim you should always keep a log and record what you've sent and when, and what casks you've made, making a note of the persons full name that you are speaking to. If you've got a full name they generally do what they say they're going to as they become accountable.

[HD2 General] Elbophoto:
Haha, you joker :D I unlike many, am one of the few that has tried 'competitor handsets' and just never gelled with them. Rather than being an ifanboy :p

I'm definitly going to e requesting a new handset, I don't pay to receive used goods, which in the long run, is what it is. Also apple don't cover a refurbished product, which they themselves haven't refurbished, under warranty!

I'm definitely going to be doing something about this, don't you worry! I check Twitter every few days for 'Fonesafe' and there are new complaints up all the time. I'm currently networking with around 7 people on there who have had similar experiences. My parents have solicitors at their disposal due to their lines of work and they are going to be made use of.

I've just spoken to Regenersis, whom Fonesafe put me in contact with. They have confirmed with me that they are STILL waiting for Fonesafe to confirm with them, the GB of my handset. I've told Fonesafe 3 times now, how incompetent can one company of wombles be?
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
Did you happen to pay these insurance payments via a credit card?

If you did get in contact with card company and ask about putting in a fraud complaint. You have much more rights when you pay for stuff via card as the bank is also liable.

You should also go into teh store where you got teh contract and ask to speak to the manager and start kicking up a fuss in front of other customers you may be able to get some sort of replacement there and then or mayeb put other wheels in motion.

I remember years ago me bricking my K750i within days of me getting it (flashed incorrect update to it somehow, cant remember) I took it back to shop and complained saying it just died, they said they would need to send it in to get repaired or a refurb replacement.

I said I'm not having that I want a new replacement im not paying for a repaired or refurb phone, they said they cant do that so I asked for manager and started to kick up fuss in front or potential customers and they folded (so they should) and replaced it there and then.

It may not be completley relevant to your case but it may help in some way if you do it.

awsome bro. Gonna give your kitchen a shot. just got my hd2 a couple of days ago and was going to look into cooking for the device. One question? are Touch pro/2 packages work with HD2 cooking enviroment. They are for the evirus kitchen.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
If they work in EVK, I'm sure they will work in Vistang's Kitchen too
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] sleepwalkers:
For someone who is new to cooking his/her own ROMs, is there a bit of an "Idiot's Guide to..." sort of thing, or at least some documentation that's at least somewhat newbie-friendly?

there is a lot of information here on how to cook your own rom. i dont remember the links off the top of my head and i dont feel like searching right now for them but just use the search bar at the top and type in how to cook a rom. i am sure you will find something instantly.:D

[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] noellenchris:
thanks for the quick reply, which do you like best? I've used 235XX branch before and like it, any advantages/disadvantages to 23112?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
I prefer 23112, honestly probably not alot, but 23112 is the general release branch of 6.5.3. Which means it should at least have more stability than com5.

is the kitchen in this rom fairly eazy to use and/or figure out. I definately wouldnt call myself a noob but also not pro. Had rhodium and flashed TONS of roms. but have never done anything as far as cooking but love the idea...easy to figure out with alot of basic knowledge or no?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
Honestly I think the vistang kitchen (the one chuckyroms use) sits right in the middle between EVK & OSKitchen (OSKitchen being the easiest)... However to be honest all you need is patience and a dose of common sense when using any one of the kitchens... at some point I'm going to create a screencast of the basics (once I've got some spare time) ;)

sparkienl's thread is a good place to start reading though ;)

[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] cfcoleman:
Hey Chucky I love your GTX rom. Its the best one I have tried. I do have one thing with the messages and I want to know if there was a way to change it. In HTC Messages in the threaded message it shows my messages at the top and then the other person's messages after yours and I want to know if there was a way to change it so it can be my message then their message then my message then their message and have it alternate like that.

Again I love your roms.

Thanks man.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
Sounds like you've disabled threading in the messaging client

Try this...
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] cfcoleman:
How do you enable threaded messaging on here.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
You can use the app here or apply the registry tweak.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] cfcoleman:
Ok. That did not work. How do you make the HTC messages show the messages in order of date and time instead of name.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
Are you definitely using the HTC Messaging Client? Probably the easiest and quickest way would be to hard reset and/or re-flash.

Is this a known issue? I cannot reorder the tabs or at least I can reorder them through the setting but the ordering is not applied. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
Most of the colour problems should be resolved once the official GTX is released. I can't honestly remember what Touch Driver I've got installed lol I have the original TM2.10 available in the 2nd post of the international thread. The kitchen includes everything you need you don't need (can't with cooked ROMs) to import the ROM.

Have you tried changing your regional settings, timezone etc, ya know all that stuff :)

Yup it is, see FAQ

Thank for the info m8 lets say i wanna put the 2.10 drivers in chucky rom:D if u can point me in trhe right direction with this, Thank you :)

lol loving it
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] kyleds:
i love this ROM, just 2 things that I can see that might need some tweaking. The messages, probably addressed already, but when you go to message tab and click on one of the contact threads, all the received text from that person shows up above the ones you sent to them. (not in time stamped order) the other thing was that in the top left corner (battery and time) in the notification bar, when it's a single digit hour like - 9:00 am- the grey background for the time overlapse the battery next to it. but once it turns to -10:00 am- it correctly spaces out. lol
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
:D You know I've installed that cab myself, and I have to say I see what you mean... I'll include it by default in the next release ;)

I don't know if this will work... but try going to All Messages and press Menu > Sort by > Time

For the taskbar clock, change your regional settings to always include a leading zero. It's a stupid Microsoft design fault, the text moves depending on 12 (no leading zero) or 24 hour.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] kyleds:

Rom installed

hey my good people. I installed this rom on my tmous Hd2 last night and everything is working great except for one small issue. I noticed that the signal icon stays on E whether I'm on 3g or HSPA. Any fixes? Love the rom!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
I haven't noticed this problem, moves from H to G without issue
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] twistedvision76:
humm interesting it's doing it on mine for some reason. I'll reinstall it tonight to see if it continues and I'll let you know birk. Great rom though.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Showtime7:
Hi, this is a nice rom but I have been experiencing a number of graphical issues, as to be expected with a themed rom. There are icons within outlooks apps such as calendar, mail, tasks, etc. which seem to have been affected in one way or another so that they appear highly saturated pink and teal, rather than their original colors. This cannot be intentional because it looks like crap, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. I can post screens if you like.

Also your notification enhancement is only portrait compatible. I am working on a REAL GTX notification enhancement which works in landscape also. I will send it to you when it's complete if you'd like to cook it in the next rom.

I've also got a set of icons I will be using with your rom, it's a work in progress but if you'd like to use them it would save me some time customizing on my next upgrade. Here is the link to what I have done so far: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724211

Thanks for sharing this great rom with us and hopefully it will become even more stable in future releases. :)
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] birkoffsjunk:
I haven't noticed any issue with the icon colours (Firestorm icons), some screenshots would be appreciated.

Look forward to the REAL GTX notification enhancement ;)

I'll have a look at the icons... :D
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Showtime7:
Here is what is was referring to:

Also, the REAL GTX notification enhancement was an epic fail. I ran into a wall when I found out you can't change the text color. There really is no work around other than what El condor did with it. I will still try to add landscape support for his theme and give the buttons and icons a more GTX look, because I think that was made before GTX was even birthed. I will also change/remove the "touch" text as we are HD2 owners and that's just silly. :P

EDIT: Here is the modification so far:

Just need to do the notification icons and we're set. :)
