Sorry to bother all of you. After 80 plus hours i am close to give up and sell my HD2 or dump it.

Bought a "English HD2" in Shanghai. Found out its a old ROM with many problems. Downloaded the new ROM from HTC and got a traditional Chinese version and for sure I do not speak Chinese. .Means iI can never use or update the phone if i leave like that.

Started research, found a HK SN and and downloaded from HTC a Hongkong english version and installed it.

Installed the win frame work update to.

It worked but there is no phone keyboard anymore but now i can input in CHINESE! I need the phone keyboard I cant life with out one.

Found the EzInput soft key and installed several times, every time after installing it the phone wont start anymore and only a hard reset can bring it to life again. I made a soft rest before installing the keyboard.

Can any body help me with the keyboard?

Or any information where to get a NEW ROM which works in English but need to be able to show( not type) Chinese characters.

I am begging all of you, my eyes are red, my girlfriend is so upset that she went back to her parents and I had to switch back to my E75. SAFE me please

Rom version installed: 1.72.831.1 (82124)

OS: 5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82

Tow more glitches i can't fix.

Switched it on after hard reset. Now the time is wrong. 27 min wrong and i don't know why. I set the time manual now.

Location is most times wrong. I life in Shanghai and I am all times set in Shenzhen or Suli or somewhere elsei If i drive suddenly the location corrects to Shanghai
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
instal hspl2 and then you can instal any rom you like (over usb).
[HD2 General] Maximilian_sha:
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I am not a developer. If i follow what you suggested what happen? No rom software anymore? Where do i find the rom(cab file )i need?
[HD2 General] johnboatcat:
Question

Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for your HD2 in Shanghai? Did you order it, or buy it there? Thanks!

You can probably get a better answer to your questions in the ROM Development section of the forum.
[HD2 General] Maximilian_sha:
Paid 4100 RMB including 2 batteries, and 4 GB memory card and the usual screen protection
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
you can install any rom you like. even those official ones from other regions.
[HD2 General] PPCApache:
Hey Mate,

I have the Telstra HD2 which has loads of crap software, so all I did was run the HSPL (HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and then found the Asia WWE (World Wide English) ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623283&highlight=WWE, it has the serial number for you to download directly from HTC.

I have been using the South East Asia (Asian WWE) 1.66.707.1, with no issues.

Hope this helps

I just got a TMOUS HD2 and had the same problems a lot of other people are having connecting it to my car. It connects to the car correctly, downloads the address book, but no sound comes through the cars speakers and the call doesn't register on the cars phone display. I searched XDA and there seems to be a bunch of registry change posts that don't seem to work all the time and disable some features. By doing the following I get it to work consistently with all the features enabled.

1) Turn off the data connection and Bluetooth in Comm Mgr

2) Turn on Bluetooth and connect (or pair) the phone with the car

3) Make a call

4) While in the call, turn the data connection back on

It works for my Land Rover RRS and stays working until I reset the phone. After I reset, I just go through the above procedure again.

I don't know if it works for every car make but it should work for most Volvos, Jaguars, and Land Rovers since most of them use common bluetooth systems.

Hope this helps somebody.
[HD2 General] kevev:
I am having the same issue. I have to manually connect the music stream. The phone stream always connects. Hoping for a fix from T-Mobile.
[HD2 General] BarryH_GEG:
My car doesn't support A2DP - the phone's separate from the audio head. All the car's phone features work though - voice recognition, conference calling, transfer to and from the handset, and address book and digit dial. I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix though. It's the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack that HTC started using with the TP2 so there are over a year's worth of complaints logged with HTC and no sign of a fix.
[HD2 General] eelpout:
well, not much to be said for the Microsoft bluetooth stack either. I have a 2010 LR4 and can't get my HTC Raphael/Touch Pro/Fuze to keep a connection. Hard to know what the problem is, starting a WiFi or GPS session often resets the connection, in addition to the random drops, sometimes mid-call.

When I tried an iPhone though, it worked fine, naturally. :o
[Desire General] peterloo123:
I have Vista Home and I installed HTC Sync using the .exe file that was inside the SD card supplied with the phone. But I have no joy getting this to work and so I cannot sync my Outlook contacts and calendar. The phone shows "cannot find HTC Sync on your PC and.. etc" When I looked into Control Panel/Device Manager I can see that there is a big yellow exclamation mark under Android USB Devices which reads "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)".

Any joy from anyone to sync your contacts and calendar ? thanks Peter
[Desire General] Hans12.:
of course it works, take the .exe and right click on it & choose properties...

you now see a tab "compatibility" en you can choose to run it as XP with service pack 2 ...

now it have to work properly.

Its very usefull onces you know it.

otherwise you can look for the programm "the missing sync for android"

good luck
[Desire General] JTHM:
Are you using the latest version of Sync - same as that available from HTC's website? I'm running Vista Home Premium x64 without compatibility and it's running fine.
[Desire General] crazybones:
After installing HTC Sync on the PC, you also have to switch the Desire from charge mode or USB disk mode to HTC Sync mode. Failing that, have you got a firewall/AV package which could be blocking it?
[Desire General] aemelius:
same issue

I've got exactly the same problem, did you fix yours? any tips?

HTC Desire Sync Problems

I'm new here so forgive any duplication.

I am having the same problems with the HTC Sync .exe, Vista Home Basic and the Device driver incompatability.

It has been a while since the last post to this thread and I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to the above problems. I hope so as it is driving me mad :eek:
[Desire General] garese:
Hi, I bought my Desire last Saturday, and it synched flawlessly with my Windows7 64bit notebook.... but that is not my pc -_-

My pc is a Vista Home Premium 32 bit, and I encountered the same exact problems that some mentioned in this thread... did any solution come out to solve it? Or Vista HP 32 owners are going to be disappointed? :(
[Desire General] garese:
Sorry for the double post, but I think I have good news :)

Trying again after I updated to Vista Service Pack 1, the "My HTC" device was installed perfectly, and connecting the phone to an USB port on the rear of the PC, the sync worked as a charm ;)

I hope this will be helpful to someone, bye!
[Desire General] alio993:
I also have a problem with HTC Sync on my laptop running vista 32 bit. I've installed it in the past but when it's installed it seems to interfere with my internet connection, basically slowing the connection down, it's as if it's stopping then starting over and over again. For example if im downloading or using youtube it will download a bit then hang for a couple of minutes or hang forever. Then when i uninstall Sync the internet is fine again.

To be honest i don't really use Sync but i'd like the option to be able to use it without messing up my internet.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening?
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
We've uncovered that the 16gb microsdhc card that comes with the T-Mobile USA HD2 is faulty in 2 ways.

1. When the card is used battery life is AWFUL

2. Files are "deleted" but space is not freed.

For example: I have 10.5gb free on the card now. I delete a 2gb file from the card. After deleting I still have 10.5gb free.

Can someone test this a little more for us? Do other cards have the same effects?

My SD from T-Mobile completely died after 5 days, they're sending me a new one in the mail...it won't recognize on a PC or in a phone at all, lost all of my docs/pics/music/etc...

Remember boys and girls, back up your data!
[HD2 General] toxtrepla:
Oddly enough.. I don't have these issues. My battery drains roughly 1% per hour on standby (a little less actually). I unplugged mine this morning at 8am, and had a day of heavy usage (15 mins talk time, 3 hours browsing, 20 mind of fpsece, 1 hour of music, and 30 mins of video), and I am at 34% as of writing (8:35PM). That's not bad for 12 and a half hours.

Also, when I delete items from my SD card, my remaining space reflects the changes I've made. I have had 0 issues with the card.
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
I have a feeling that there was a faulty batch.
[HD2 General] jehlinger:
I had bad battery life with another 16gb sd card that was mine. It's not the sd card that's faulty but the sd socket itself or the drivers. Hopefully it's the drivers. Or something about Sense polling the sd card.
[HD2 General] kudepi:
I have bad battery life with an italian hd2 and 16gb SD. I don't think it is something from t-mobile.
[HD2 General] bgsitizen:
I put the 16gb card I was using with my Touch Pro2 in the Tmobile HD2 and it wouldn't even recognize it. I think it even corrupted it because my laptop takes forever to access it.... I will try the 4 gig I have and post if anything changes.
[HD2 General] Caliban007:
I purchased my HD2 on launch day and so far haven't had an issue with it. I have had issues trying to sync my Win7 64-bit PC and the phone with Active Sync but so far no issues with the card itself. It's like a portable Harddrive to me. I have VLC player installed on my work computers and put XVid's onto the phone and run them off the phone at work without issue.

I'll look further into the space issues with the deleting large files, but I've moved lots of vids on and off and never noticed anything.
[HD2 General] erick10:
Is this for the Tmobile USA HD2? I have terrible battery life on mine and honestly its annoying and frustrating knowing I cant even browse the Web for 15min knowing my battery will drop 10-15%. I have blu-tooth off, and screen brightness at 30% and battery life is still horrible. This has worse battery life than my Sprint Touch Pro 2. This phone reminds me of the horrible battery life of the Sprint Touch. I dont know how you get those amazing numbers.

By the way, I dont have the weather or email autochecking. Everything is set to manual. I send about 30-50 quick texts a day.
[HD2 General] skylinepigeon:
really? i can use my phone on the internet for half an hour with the battery dropping oonly ~5%.

this is on wifi.

have you tried a couple discharge/ charge cycles?
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
I think this is a batch specific problem. I've done discharge and charge cycles and my battery goes down about 8% an hour on standby.

Also, the sd card will not get rid of things deleted off of it. they are gone, but no space is freed.

I'm going to go in to my t-mobile store and try to get a replacement.
[HD2 General] jetjockgordo:
Sandisk 16GB cards have problems!

I think Sandisk has been having MAJOR problems with their 16GB MicroSD cards for a while. I had one in my Touch HD and I needed to reformat it about every 6-8 weeks. Major pain. The last time it would not reformat again and after a major effort, Sandisk agreed to replace it (had to send in old one at my cost).

I am convinced they sent me the old one back because it is pretty much DOA!!! If it is not the old one then this one is buggered up too. It worked for a couple of weeks then stopped being seen by my HD. I tried to format it from 3 different PC's and two different (compatible) readers with no luck. I gave up and bought an A-Data 16GB card with no trouble at all!! Over 6 months later and not a single hiccup with that card. Keep in mind that I pretty much just leave the card in so "wear and tear" is non-existent.

My suggestion? Dump it and get a different brand (card that is).

Gordo

PS. Just do a Google search and you will find MANY people having issues with it.
[HD2 General] Flame3g:
mine works fine so far keep us posted....i deleted alot and i got my mem back
[HD2 General] toxtrepla:
Yes, this is for the TMOUS HD2. What I did:

1. Bought the phone

2. Let the battery die once

3. Full charge, and let the battery die again

4. One more full charge, and then normal usage..

I know battery conditioning isn't exactly needed at this point, but i did it anyway. My email is pushed every 15 minutes, and WIFI is on about 60% of the time. No blutooth, and my weather and facebook are set to manual updates. Stocks are diabled as well.

Obviously BSB tweaks is installed with power management, and automatic screen dimming is on as well. I really didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

My SD card also works outside of the phone, and in my G1 as well..
[HD2 General] witch1:
I have the HD 2-NOT from tmo-and haven't had any issues with my 16 gig sandisk card-ever. And my battery life is really good. Best of about any PDA I've ever had.:)
[HD2 General] erick10:
Thanks bro. I will do what you did on letting the battery die and charging it full again. Now, isnt it bad to let the battery die fully on li-ion batteries? Im a little worried on this but will still do it. Thanks again.
[HD2 General] mingkee:
You can buy another 16GB microSD and copy all data, and leave the original card secured.

Dane-Elec (class 2) is relatively cheap, and it's made by Toshiba (same as Kingston class 2 16GB).

Though it's a bit slow, it appears to be reliable.
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
sandisk is super slow... :/ I'm formatting mine. it gives me my space back now, but the damage has been done. only 5gb free with like nothing on it.
[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
I just formatted the card and didn't put my backup back on. I'll report on battery life compared to what I had today.
[HD2 General] HotShotAzn:
Should the two posts be merged (or one close) to keep the issue on the same thread?

Couple of points to consider:

1) Having a memory card in a device will always drain it faster. In my netbook, if i leave an SD card in, I drain the battery faster than with out it. And I'm not even accessing the card, its just in.

2) There's a "FilesToBeDeleted" folder on the SD card. I don't know much about the file structure but is that like a virtual recycle bin?

Besides the first day of getting my phone and charging it that day, I've only done two full charge cycles (besides plugging it in to flash a new rom). I've had it off the charger for 9 hours and I lost 66% so far. My battery drain has lessen quite dramatically after I did some tweaks. I plan to reformat my memory card to night to clean it up and move some apps from my memory card to the phone so that its not perpetually hitting the card.
[HD2 General] NuShrike:
I've had terrible battery life, but I thought it was the WiFi. Forcing WiFi to turn off while sleeping has stopped my standby battery drain.

I try swapping out the uSDHC to see if it's an issue. I know this 16GB is a lot slower than my 8GB one.
[HD2 General] goldt:
so whats the update, did anything work for the SD card and battery?
[HD2 General] :
I'm not too sure. I traded my hd2 for an nexus. It's been 12 hours and this thing has only gone down by like 10%

What recommendations do you folks have for the best smartphone I can use on Verizon without a data plan? Verizon-branded phones manufactured after November 08 are forced to use the data plan. I am looking for a way around this. (I only need wi-fi) Is there a phone from another carrier I could sneak onto Verizon with minimal effort and that I could find used for under $200? I was thinking about a Touch Pro but can't find up-to-date directions on how to do this and not trigger the data plan. My thanks to you.
[Networking] Tonytech0:
hTC TP2 get it from sprint or verzon, you can buy it off of ebay or craigslist.org

good luck
[Networking] JesusFreak316:
Just wanted to post my experience. I was planning to do the same thing. The best phone I could find made before then was the samsung sch-i760. I would have gotten the htc touch but it didn't have wifi which makes it useless without a data plan. I was planning to do the same thing as you. I bought the phone in May of last year but didn't get around to activating it until August or so. When I brought the phone in they said they had changed the rules from after October of 08 to all smart phones period. Soooo, didn't quite work out. Moral of the story is ask the Verizon salesperson first.
[Networking] Ace9583:
In theory you can activate **ANY** Verizon Wireless smartphone without being billed for a data plan. First, some background: A friend of mine had a Verizon iPhone that he lost at the movies one Friday night. As soon as he got home, he logged into his account and did an ESN swap to a Samsung Gusto so he could at least be able to make calls. Lo and behold when he got his bill, Verizon had billed his 150 some megabytes used on Friday at $1.99 per megabyte. Now we all know that nobody in there right mind would be using 150 megabytes on a sorry flip phone and in fact my friend didn't use ANY mb on the Gusto. He was able to get credit for the data use since it was clearly used on the iPhone and should have been included in his unlimited data plan. The Verizon rep explained that they bill by the day that he would have had to wait till after midnight on Friday to activate the basic phone to allow his data to be billed under his smartphone plan. No worries since they credited him the full amount, but when he told me, it got me thinking...

I realized that if he wanted the iPhone (or any other smartphone) just for the quality of the phone and did not want to use or pay for Verizon data that he could simply activate the smartphone in the morning, use it all day (with the mobile network turned off of course) and then activate a basic phone at night with no data plan. It could get tedious swapping esn's 60 times a month, but supposing it were automated this could work quite nicely.

What if the "night" phone were the Home Phone Connect on a $19.99 unlimited minute plan? Would that give unlimited minutes for 20 bucks on an iPhone? I suppose the "night" phone could be a basic phone on the $10 75 megabyte plan if one wanted just a tiny bit of data.

I don't have Verizon and my friend won't try it because he needs his unlimited data and he doesn't have WiFi access. If anybody tries this, be sure to post your success or failure story.
[Networking] HulkSmashBurgers:
I can't see that lasting very long. I'm sure Verizon would eventually ask you WTF you're doing.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HTC_FUZE:
Hi, Guys:

I found many ROMs has preset alarm sound and wallpaper for today already. I am building my own ROM, however I cannot get these two to work. What I did are:

For alarm sound:

1. In the beginning, I put Alarm-High.wav to Kitchen under SYS\AlarmSounds. Build and flash, I am not able to find it in the Clock setting. Then I change the name to Alarm-High.wma and rebuid/re-flash. Now I am able to see the sound in the list. So, WM6.5 cannot use wav as alarm sound?

2. After that I want to set this sound to Alarm sound in the kitchen so that I do not need to change after flashing. I set registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock\0]

"AlarmSnd"="\\Windows\\Alarm-High.wma"

No success. What is the proper way to realize?

For wallpaper:

I set registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]

"Wall"="\\Windows\\Grass.jpg"

Build the ROM and flash, the registry is set, but the wallpaper is not set.

Any suggestion on the above two problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FInixNOver:
For the alarm clock sounds, only wav files are accepted. (remember that you should not change the files extensions, the best way to change sound formats is to use an audio converter)

It seems to me that your reg setting are being overwritten during the ROM build process. Either make sure your reg is one of the last being processed during ROM build, or you should try using a provxml instead, since they're only processed at first boot.

Same thing goes for the wallpaper.

Hope it helps.

Cheers

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HTC_FUZE:
Both wav and wma files can be set as alarm sound. The strange thing is if I put Alarm-High.wav in the ROM and flash to phone, this sound won't appear in the list. BUT IF I copy the file to \windows, and then it will appear in the list. No idea why????????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FInixNOver:
These reg entries are in one of my OEM rgu files:

"AlarmText"=""

"AlarmTime"=hex:00,00

"Len_AlarmSnd"=dword:0000000B

"Len_AlarmText"=dword:00000000

If the file is located in Windows folder by default, you don't need to specify the file path nor the file extension.

However, AFAIK, only wav files can be used for alarms, and if you try to change the alarm sound in "Clocks & Alarms" in settings, you will realize that, in the drop down list, only wav files are available. But I may be wrong.

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HTC_FUZE:
Thanks. Proved both wav and wma will work for alarm sound. However, the wav file built in ROM won't work, wav file copied after flashing will work!. How strange!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HTC_FUZE:
Finally get alarm to work! Add Copy command in provxml to copy Alarm-High.wav file to \APPLICATION DATA\SOUNDS and build the ROM. After flashing, it appeared in the alarm list and set to alarm sound already!
