[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevitoNY:
Alright well first off I've looked all over XDA for an answer if theres is one out there a Mod can remove this post. I'm not new to this at all I have been flashing roms since the Dream was released, just the other day i was thinking about trying out a new from King's new Legend coming from CM 4.2.15.1 as usual i wiped everything reformatted my SD partitions and installed the Legend rom, now for some reason i cannot get past the G1 screen on that or any other rom there is out EXCEPT CM 4.2.15 I attempted the same thing on my 32B MT and get the same problem it will not go past the MT green screen has anyone had this issue or would anyone be able to tell me whats going on I've tried everything i could think of and nothing works. Thanks for any help people!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
theres a lot of other roms that require a different SPL than CM does. make sure you have the correct one installed. also, make sure to wipe before flashing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevitoNY:
I have kept that in mind and yes I have wiped before every flash I once again just now tried the CanNNoN202 rom correct SPL and all also running the latest radio still no go on either the MT3G or G1

[Desire General] coolboyashok:
Hello friends,

I m much surprised to see lots of feture of nexus one is not available on htc desire.Nexus one have 3D gallery with picasa sync option.

Simply want to know that the picasa sync is available on HTC gallery "photos" in Derise??
[Desire General] mhewitson:
If you go into Settings > Accounts and Sync > Google

There is an option for Sync Picassa web albums.

However, on mine anyway this doesnt work. :S

Not sure why as I'd like to use this feature!
[Desire General] Bandare:
I didn't want to have to open a yahoo account to use flickr. I wanted to use picasa. I can't find a default app for picasa, which is a surprise or am I missing a trick?
[Desire General] mdfine:
AFAIK Sync to picasa only works at the early @gmail.com accounts but just ask google about it ;-)
[Desire General] mhewitson:
search for picasa tool pro from the market. Works a treat.
[Desire General] Bandare:
thanks very much. I'll give it a try...

I love the phone but cant stand windows choppiness makes the phone useless... im coming from a Iphone 3gs.. i can use the iphone 3gs hardcore use all day without having to reboot it cause it gets slooowww and unresponsive...hd2 have to reset around 5 times daily.. wtf? camera pictures are stunning that's what kept me using it for 4-5 days ..i tried couple of tweaks and stuff. last one im using is BsB tweaks that seem to work good.... lets talk about typing..............OMG!!! lol suck ass i thought i need it to get use to the phone but not at all .. its just bad and it kinda make pissed cause i know is windows. why but why in the earth HTC loaded windows in this such a beautiful phone? ..i hope when the EVO comes out someone please please do the ROM from the EVO into the HD2.. this phone need to run android..........

and please be honest... the phone gets very choppy after texting and texting and sending mms ... i call that normal use...

so im going back to iphone until a miracle happens .. android ROM for the HD2
[HD2 General] fastwanabe:
same situation here, why the hell cant this phone just function like its suppose to? everything..... i mean everything is a god damn project with this phone. if this phone had the iphone os... for me at least itd be the	perfect device.
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
Either you love it or you hate it! So far I love it! :p
[HD2 General] wiggindude:
I don't have the issues anymore.................I returned mine.
[HD2 General] ruinertt:
Put on a custom ROM and the days of rebooting/choppiness will be long gone.
[HD2 General] makino_ruki:
Frankly speaking, TMOUS stock rom is the best rom so far I have used with windows mobile (forget about the interface thing, it's the most stable one I have ever experienced. Even custom roms got bugs here and there), and I never have to reset the phone due to any bugs or performance issues... I just can't help but to say I love my HD2
[HD2 General] ajftl:
Can u please link me to that ROM. I really want to keep using the hd2. I'll give that one I try
[HD2 General] kevev:
To be honest, I was ready to return both of mine. Then I disabled Sense and installed spb shell. All my issue have disappeared except the daily reboot on one(waiting on T-Mobile to get some in stock to send me a replacement). The keyboard does not hang anymore, and I type fast. The keyboard is acurate now too. The only problems I have now is the network, but I can't do much about that. Stick with the stock rom and do what I did. Also, keep using the bsb tweaks. It really does help.
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
Feel the same. Since I brought the phone home, has been flawless. Top notch performance.

My only concern is not the phone but, T-mobile's network.

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] ajftl:
Disabling SENSE kinda takes away the beuty of the phone.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
i don't think its windows i think is the damn t-mobile rom or the first batch of phones i say exchange it cause i had the touch pro 2 and i would just get maybe a message and email bug. but i do see where you coming from and believe me i had problems with all the phones i had with a lag when i had over 1000 sms my nokia n82 would lag android installing and syncing 2 years of calendar appointments went bunkers I think as tech gets more advance software gets more buggy. but if you find the iphone way more useful i would tell you go for it no device its worth a headache lol
[HD2 General] erick10:
Damn, I love this phone but Im annoyed with the Messaging lag and not to mention the lag with the onscreen keyboard. When I bought this phone

I was thinking I would get used to the keyboard like on the Ipod Touch

but boy was I wrong. Im not going to lie to you guys, even the Keyboard on the

Zune HD is better than this phones and its a shame because of the screen size.

I installed the sensitivity cab so it could decrease the sensitivity but it didnt help at all.

Not to mention Sense crashing on me if I try to load some picture on the photo album. POP OUT THE BATTERY LITTLE KID :mad:

BSB tweaks help for battery life I guess.

I AM SURELY GOING TO MISS MY MIGHTMIKE ROMS ON MY SPRINT TP2.
[HD2 General] glcK23:
I love my HD2
[HD2 General] 84Gti Guy:
Are you using the task manager? The only reboot i have done is on updates that require it. Set your call button key to open task mager on holding the call button. I always use end all tasks before locking the phone, and it is ready and waiting on the next unlock. I had to do the same on my wing and shadow. I love this phone. I have had an iphone, g1, sidekick. But to me Windows mobile is so much more customizable than the other phone OS'. My first smarthphone was the Shadow and got me hooked on windows mobile.
[HD2 General] blahjmz:
i feel your pain about everything being a damn project, i'm thinking about jumping ship as well and its only been 5 days
[HD2 General] blahjmz:
thats what bugs the sh*t out of me about this phone, yes its not the phone issue itself, but winmo6.5m. but having to install a rom or program just so the X button on the upright corner, will ACTUALLY CLOSE the program instead of minimize it and stay in memory, while draining resources?!? thats a great idea!! why should i have have to use a damn task manager to close a damn program...
[HD2 General] C:Sharp!:
Get an HTC Desire or Nexus one.

Best of both worlds: Hardware like the HD2, software like the iPhone (much better than the iPhone, actually).

IMO it's much better than both the iPhone and the HD2, cause the whole package is consistent. Great hardware, great software. Android alone is worth it (much better than both iPhone OS and Windows Mobile), but with great, HD2-like hardware, there's nothing that can even come close to the Desire/Nexus.
[HD2 General] Tester30:
Nexus One suck a$$... That's why I returned it... Piece of cr****.

Disable email on HD2 stock ROM and your re-booting problems will be gone...

I know..... Some peeps need email , but some is not clicking there.

Just my 2-1/2 cents... LOL
[HD2 General] mn3kgtvr4:
I second the opinion that the tmous stock rom is pretty dang great. Sense UI is the primary culprit behind any sort of slow down. It's great eye candy, but spb mobile shell is much less resource intense.
[HD2 General] ajftl:
Why would u want to disable ur email on this phone just to make it "better"? It's like buying a new car and get rid off the headlights !!! U need emails ! :) and I shouldn't or better say we shouldn't disable ANYTHING to make this phone better. It has balls to run anything ! He's just going to sleep for a while until a updates come or something

btw after playing with a screen this big anything else looks crappy lol
[HD2 General] Tester30:
Yea.. know what you saying... I get me emails off the internet..... Sucks: YES.

Freezes and re-boots: NO. By the way, tried to drive with no headlights...LOL

Hope they will come up with the patch. And waiting on that SPB shell 5.0.....
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Didn't Really Have Problems

I sold my phone due to poor reception, but I didn't have these problems because I didn't install too many junk that could be poorly written. I believe this is a large factor for those with problems.
[HD2 General] starstreak:
why does this post sound so much like a troll post?

HD2 sucks cuz its WIndows Mobile? Get a life. return it. Go back and get a iphone. My phone doesn't just lock up. No more than my friends iphone.lol
[HD2 General] b1ackplague:
Mines working just fine

I've had lag in messages (also when using the keyboard in the messages) and in the music tab; its worse in the messages. The music tab is partly because i can't decide which song i want to listen to so i set it to shuffle (and i have a lot of songs on it) and click next track so fast and so many times that it sometimes causes it to quit :p I have to admit, with all the eye candy the phone has, it handles everything really well. Regardless, i'm happy with it and those can both be remedied through software updates. Is there any way to scroll through songs with the letters on the side? Its a pain to try and reach the bottom of a few thousand songs by simply "tossing" the list.
[HD2 General] ApplesNoranges:
I love this phone. I just got it, but i am feeling like a lot of you here. Winmo 6.5 just kills it. It feels like i have to work a little to hard to get things done on this phone. I was hoping that we would get some kind of android release by now. But i guess i will stick with it, becuase i do love the phone and TMO doesn't really have anything better, besides the nexus one, which i am waiting on. I wanna give the HD2 more time. I only had it for 3 days, its a love hate thing right now, leaning more towards hate though.
[HD2 General] :
Wow...this like a hatefest for WinMo. Did any of you look into WinMo before you bought the phone? If you had owned a WinMo phone before and/or done your research you would see that any issue 6.5 has is nothing compared to what happened back in the days of pre WinMo 5. That being said, if you don't like it, go back to your locked down, call dropping, POS, non-multitasking iPhone, that DOES lock up quite often, and stop b****ing about problems with something YOU chose. I love my HD2, haven't had any problems, and didn't go into it thinking that it was another Apple wannabe to add to my collection of iJunk.

I'll get off my soapbox now. :p

[HD2 General] fociz:
Hopelessly waiting for an android port..

Ive had it a week now and simply want to pull my hair out.

You can liken this beast of a phone to a Ferrari with spoke bicycle tires on it.

Also..which Spb shell would you recommend?
[HD2 General] erebusting:
dont forget all your iFart apps!... haha
[HD2 General] :
Yes, let's not forget about those!
[HD2 General] C:Sharp!:
Get out of your small worlds, you guys!

There's not only HD2 and iPhone in this world. Just because you don't like the HD2 doesn't mean you have to buy a ****ty iPhone.

There are phones that are just as powerful, customizable etc. as the HD2, yet just as stable and easy to use as the iPhone.

Get one of those, if the HD2 isn't for you. Don't get a crappy iPhone, it's a thing of the past (just like Windows Mobile).
[HD2 General] fociz:
Its not simply as easy as that for alot of folks, most are under contracts and cant afford to slap down 5 bills for a phone like it was a drop in the bucket.

For alot of people getting something like an HD2 is a big deal and will have to last them atleast another year in order for them to afford an upgrade.

The iphone is a great piece of tech and the HD2 is..well im going to say it has potential cause ive had alot of issues with it the last week but if i send this back i go back to my MyTouch3G which isnt the end of the world but it certainly is no HD2 or EVO.

EVO...mmmmmm. /drool
[HD2 General] mystik610:
I too am an iPhone user and actually still my iPhone on hand as my personal device (HD2 is being used as a work device). After having the HD2, I find myself using my iPhone far less often, and it really does feel like an inferior device compared to the HD2.....especially when it comes to web-browsing.

I will say that the HD2 on the stock rom is buggy, problematic, and flat out harder to use than the iPhone. Once I flashed Kumar's ROM, however, things started running a lot better, and I don't ever need to perform a soft reset anymore.

There are two major culprits to crashes on the HD2 IMO.

The first is multi-tasking. Multi-tasking is a god-send in terms of being able to navigate the phone and jump between tasks quickly.

On the iPhone, if you send a message, you have to wait for it to send before you can do anything else....same with sending e-mails. If you happen to close your browser while in the middle of loading a page, you'll have to reload it when you get back. Going from one app to the next can be a pain in the ass on the iPhone, and isn't nearly as snappy as they pretend it is on commercials.

On the HD2 you can jump back and forth between applications with ease and perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Want to download a file, leave your browser running in the background, and send a text or e-mail out? Done. Want to leave your instant messenger client running in the background so you can receive IM's on the fly? Done. Want your navigation software to keep plotting your trip while you minimize it to change the station on slacker radio? Done.

Tasks like this are impossible, or a pain in the ass on the iPhone.

The downside to being able to multi-task is that you have to be mindful of how much of your resources you're utilizing, or else the HD2 will freeze up on you! It behooves you to pay attention to your task manager and close all the running apps before you open up something resource intensive. Any device that is push to the limits of its resources will start to have issues...including the iPhone. My iPhone has its fair share of lock-ups too...and it too lags severely if I don't clear out my texts. But the iPhone locks up less frequently because it doesn't multi-task.

The second culprit to most lock-ups is sense. Sense is a very resource intensive application. Its pretty, but doing things like adding 3D animations to texts takes a lot out of your phone. This is accentuated further if you start adding a lot of mods to sense that make it even more resource intensive.

If you run a lot of resource intensive applications, like to keep a lot of texts, or are too lazy to open the task manager and close files every once in a while, turn off some of the sense features, or turn sense off altogether. Turning off the weather animations and turning off tabs you don't use goes a long way.
[HD2 General] miguel4u2:
Have you tried Ram cleaner, no need for soft reset with it and it improves performance,search it up
[HD2 General] dailydriver:
I have no problem here. Mines stock. Haven't flash anything yet. The only time I had to reboot was when I was editing the registry. This is windows. It's not supposed to be user friendly. iPhone is not customizable. iPhone is a locked down os. All my friends that complains about the HD2 also complains about Vista and windows 7 too. And I always had to support them. I guess you just have to know Windows.
[HD2 General] nautiakopnoy:
Love it!

I love my HD2 everytime I pull it out it turns heads. Put on a custom rom (Romeo) I haven't had any issues yet. The stock tmobile rom is slow and it kills the battery, but with Romeo Rom I am able to not charge my phone with mild useage for 2 Days!!!! T-mobile's network isn't bad if you compare it to AT&T which has alot of issues.

My 2 cents.
[HD2 General] 2003evo8:
Like every new gadget out there, the "first generation" will always have a bug depending on the person. I'll wait awhile to get mine although now Tmobile has a 2 for 1 on the HD2 family plan.;)
[HD2 General] starstreak:
c:sharp- Get any other phone you want. I just mentioned an iphone because there were a few posts saying they had/wanted/compared to an iphone. You can get an Android if you wanted. The Nexus One is nice, but it has a smaller LCD screen, but its a AMOLED. :)
[HD2 General] Frag x 3:
Too bad this isn't the first iteration of the HD2. It's been out for a while now.
[HD2 General] pinhead:
It is being repeated many times here that the HTC Sense interface causes a few reliability problems. There is no doubt about it. Take a look at your RAM in use when running HTC Sense then take a look at the RAM in use with Sense disabled. When I do this on my phone I notice that Sense is using as much as 35mb of RAM when running!

HTC Sense is just a Today Screen interface. Sure, it also goes a little deeper by providing its own separate interface for texting, manipulation of of some settings, but overall it is just an application like any other. Fortunately, the HD2 is so powerful at this point that it can run HTC Sense smoothly and without issue. I have not really experienced any yet with it on the HD2. I really hated it on the Touch Pro2 though.

Windows Mobile, especially with some of the newest ROMs, is actually pretty impressive. I have now given up my Nexus One to use the HD2 in its place. In fact, I have another HD2 on the way for the line I was going to leave the N1 on. I must admit that Android provides the better home screen but I'll trade a little widget and icon space for a much better Contact and Calendar application as well as FULL Exchange integration. Plus, my N1 battery couldn't make it through half a day without a recharge even with relatively little use. The HD2 yesterday lasted me from morning to evening at the Shell Houston Open with plenty of battery left for me to read and then play around online while watching Formula One (recorded since I was at the SHO).
[HD2 General] reid-o:
I've found that a lot of my issues were tied to the sense keyboard.

Now that I've replaced it with Touchpal, my phone no longer lags during text entry at all.

I've lost haptic feedback, but the device is really snappy.

This proves to me that it's not completely a winmo6.5 thing but rather a sense UI thing.

You should at least give it a try.

Even if you don't like the keyboard, you'll see what I'm talking about as far as a lot of the lag going away.

[HD2 General] fiendskillz:
ive had this phone since launch day @tmo and i did have some freezes and weird things happen but thats cause i was just installing everything thing and anything. and so i did a hard reset and just installed the ones i knew was good now like bsb tweaks etc, and have no crashes or anything any more.

i also disabled favorites and alot of tabs and just kept home,sms,email,pics,weather,settings and disabled weather animation on home and everything is dandy for me now

i think when people get this phone and did no research they expected it to be like the iphone but just faster and no problems lol.. on my n900 i had alot of problems the first few days too because of stuff but now its pretty much bug free and fast
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I'm not sure if I can give up HD2. It is a bit of a small project to get things working the way you want though.

I converted to using Swype since I was really frustrated with accidentally tapping on the xt9/abc toogle (near the all important 'a') or the keyboard on/off toogle (near the 'space' button) while I was trying to type quickly.

I used coOkie home tab to get more quick links.

I had an HTC Dream (with Android) before and I'm not sure I want to go back to that. Being able to load up a few tabs of Opera and reading them w/o need data connection is great. Android would often kill my browser when it wanted more memory and even if I was in the browser it might want to reload the other tabs if I wanted to switch to them. Also the speed and big screen are great to have.
[HD2 General] thetaklu:
Lol, the original post is kind of funny to me. If you have any idea about using WinMo phones..and the multitasking.. You use Task Manager. Of course, iPhone doesn't have multitasking so you wouldn't know the concept of Task Manager.

[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
I made the right choice.

Hello Everyone,

I am very happy with mine. It is a powerhouse !! Today for example

1) Had Skype Running

2) Had Yahoo Running

3) Had ICQ Running

4) Had Google Maps Running, GPS On, Satellite mode on,tracking my position

5) Sending/Receiving SMS

6) Answering Telephone calls

7) Surfing the Internet

All at the same time :D Not sluggish,not pausing, no re-resetting. Just another normal day for the HD2 and no worries. All stock ROM. Only things I deleted were the demo games and the demo music

Thank you,

Monnie

[HD2 General] addicus:
My wife has never used a WinMo device before and uses her HD2 all day without a hiccup (TMo USA version). I added Quickmenu to both of ours and set the x button to close on short press and minimize on long press. This is a very nice, high powered machine that hums along. She sends about 30 texts a day with no problems. I'm coming from an 8525 so I'm missing the hardwrre keyboard, but it's a worthwhile tradeoff. I have to remember to use my skin and not the fingernail. 4 thumbs up from us.
[HD2 General] :
I'm not getting rid of my HD2 any time soon...although...I am looking for another IBM Simon if someone has one...mine needs a partner...(no joke, lol...seriously if anyone has one or knows someone who has one please let me know...lolol)
