Way to engender community spirit LOL. MMV, milage may vary. The phone has been out for about 6 months now (except TMobile US), multiple production runs, with various stock and custom ROMS and versions of software running on them. Users range from people who have used and tweaked Windows Mobile devices for years to ex iPhone Users to those who have never needed to do more than insert a SIM card. With great power comes great responsibility ;) and these devices have great power. Some people report no problems, some people report great problems, but some people use it as a telephone, others use it as a laptop replacement. As a member of this community I like to think that I help support users with less experience than myself. Yes, it can get frustrating sometimes when people don't RTFM or search the forum's before posting. It's frustrating when you see someone slagging off HTC and the HD2 because they didn't bother looking at the specifications or read reviews before buying. It is also obvious however that 6 months ago the original HD2 was buggy but successive ROMS and hotfixes have resolved most of the issues (again, milage may vary). Unfortunately those users who bought the device with contracts and are locked into their service providers cannot always get access to the latest stock ROMS so are forced to use custom ROMS (which can be daunting to some people) or put up with the issues.

Good luck to those who have never had a problem with their phone. For those of you that do have issues, I am sure that members of this forum will continue to try and help respond to any questions you have. Just please read your manual and search the forum before posting, mention your ROM version and remember that this forum is made up of many cultures and humour does not always translate. What might seem like funny to one person mighty appeare arrogant and aggressive to others (again, milage may vary).

I thought this was going to be a short post when I started, sorry.
[HD2 General] witch1:
I have seen many problems listed here as I started coming down here (from Rhodium and Wizard forums) BEFORE I got my device. While I was waiting for it to delivered I had already downloaded custom rom, hot fixes, spl, etc. I am OCD and have RFD (rom flashing disorder), so I wanted to be prepared. People really should be better consumers and read.....lots.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
Me too, had it since November. Absolutely love it.
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
Thanks for the advice. I use the task manager every couple of hours to close out programs. listen, I wanna love it. I really do. But the freezes and slow downs are frustrating.

Yes, I'm an iPhone user, but I'm not helpless. I just don't know anything, yet, about Windows Mobile. The HD2 hardware and HTC Sense attracted me to this phone.

Open Market? Is that different from the MARKETPLACE on my phone?

As far as deleting all mail, this is the 2nd instance where there were other options below the screen when selecting MENU. I just didn't scroll down...rookie mistake.

Thanks again. I'll keep at it with your suggestions.

Much appreciation for the constructive help here.
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi, Open Market is indeed different from Marketplace. It's an app (OMarket) for the http://www.freewarepocketpc.net site.

Regards.
[HD2 General] C:Sharp!:
If you can't get along with your HD2, get an HTC Desire (Nexus One). Almost the same as the HD2 hardware-wise, but much better software.

You get lots of *good* apps, like on your iPhone and you won't get all the lock ups and bugs.

(I know, there are lots of apps for WM as ell, but as has been said, they mostly suck, when compared to their iPhone/Android counterparts).
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Just in case there is any confusion, the Nexus One and HTC Desire are not the same phone. The Nexus One is apparently nearly half a milimeter thinner than the Desire ;) Slashgear has a comparison of both devices here: http://www.slashgear.com/htc-desire-vs-google-nexus-one-2074966/.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] grifforama:
Anyone else having issues ?

I setup Google Voice as normal, and I only use if for international numbers.

When I try and make a call, GV starts, but then Sprint kicks in and tells me I cannot make calls to this number ?

Weirdly, it's not happening in Gumbo 1.5c which was my daily use ROM.

I am trying this on RegawMOD 2.0
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] subliminalurge:
I haven't heard of a good solution yet.

Does anyone know if GV works properly on the N1 and the Droid? Those two phones are "officially" running 2.1 now.

Wondering if it's a problem with 2.1 across the board, or if the problem only occurs on custom roms.....

For now what I've been doing if I really need a call to go out via google voice is just initiating the call through the web page. Not the best workaround, but it gets the job done.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CHANG3D:
The only "work-around" is that I can make calls through the web (use the browser), but I can't receive calls. I do receive pushed sms.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 5tr4t4:
Install GV 2.0 (search forfor link), works like a charm on every 2.x I've used.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] johndoehizzle:
yupp.only version working is .2.thats what im using
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] askwhy:
In Damage's new thread (based on new Sprint Leak) there is a post that says this:

I am looking for confirmation. Anyone?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] SpiffyJr:
Works like a charm. Just tried it!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] askwhy:
Then it's on! Oh Yeah. Giggity Giggity!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] QuiQNeZZ:
Works for me on DC2r2 although I was getting the same message at first. I had never used it before so I thought I just could dial the number straight out like a regular call but it doesn't work that way. You gotta call your GV number first then there is an option to make an international call. Press that option and enter the number and you should be good.

I have my phone set for GV to make my international calls only though. Don't know if setting it for all calls would allow me to dial the international number directly and not have to call my GV number.
[HD2 General] bsanto9:
so yesterday to my surprise i go to get my beautiful phone in my car to find out (i was outside) that i had dust under my screen now i treat my phone like a baby and i never pocket it or anything so was like what the hell. SO i called the store i bought it from they can't exchange because no more phones for three weeks, so i call customer care same story so they notate my account to be the first to get one when it comes in but i got SO LUCKY one of the stores down down had two left thats it, the corporate office called and told them to hold it for me, well i get there and they almost didn't do it because they didn't feel like it was there fault i understood but didn't care the had to, so i harassed them till they did and i got a new one thank God so to conclude i dont want to freak anyone out but check your screens:mad:
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Thanks for the warning.

It totally would've freaked me out.

Im sure it wasn't there fault, but it's more like their out of stock and didn't want to hold the last one for replacement when they could've easily sold it to a person next in line.

You got real lucky They're that they held one for you.
[G1 General] robsclone:
Hey there. I've found some similar threads, but nothing exactly matching this situation, so I thought I'd post:

G1, running Cyanogenmod, though I'm not sure of the version. Latest update notice said there were 11 updates available. ( i know, but i couldn't upgrade my sd card yet)

Issue: Phone was fine, but then battery was accidentally removed while powered on (was cleaning camera lense).

Now, Phone will begin booting, and get to the skateboarding android screen, but after that it will just hang, black screen with backlight on.

Home+Power boot will go to control menu. Power + Camera goes to correct screen, also.

Is there any way to fix other than a restore? I can restore if needed, would just rather not since it's always a bit of a pain to set it back up.

thanks for any info! Other issues like this seemed to be posted in this forum, which is why i chose it. please let me know if it should appear somewhere else.
[G1 General] ultma75:
just goto recovery "home + end key" and wipe data + cache + ext and reflash everything. or you cant goto console in recovery and try fix_permissions. it might help
[G1 General] robsclone:
thanks for the suggestion! Trying to do the restores and permission fixes, I've realized that the issue was with the SD card. Apparently it's died on me :-/

partitioning a new SD card got the phone to boot again with all my settings intact, but unfortunately none of my apps.

I hear that the common problem with sd cards is the controller stopping working; does anybody know what my options are for trying to recover the data on it?

Thanks again for the help
[HD2 General] erebusting:
Anyone know the Tmobile USA HD2 Model Number?
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
I believe it's T5160
[HD2 General] erebusting:
thank you!
[HD2 General] erebusting:
I tried searching for cases for the model number and nothing pops up, I guess I have to go by searching things like "HD2 USA" or "HD2 Tmobile" which is sort of rediculous...wish they would just use the model number so I dont have two sets of results....

btw are you sure this is the model number ? can anyone confirm this ?
[HD2 General] tehsu:
it's t9193
[HD2 General] erebusting:
can anyone show proof?
[HD2 General] tehsu:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=t9193&aq=f&aqi=g7g-m2&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
[HD2 General] addicus:
This would be the Austrailan company Telus' version of the HD2 and not the TMobile USA version.
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
try searching for HTC Leo model #5160
[HD2 General] NuShrike:
No such model number and it doesn't make any sense since this is at least a 8K series device.

Why don't you post your source?
[HD2 General] erebusting:
I am suprised it seems so hard to get the correct model number.... anyone have any ideas how to get it at least ? I tried searching the net and nothing appropriate shows up, also I tried looking around the HTC website and that was no help as well, also I tried looking through my phone's about screen and it did not suffice anything useful also.... although I do see my phone showing up as t8585 or something similar to that when I connect it to my laptop....but I thought that was the number for the UK version not the USA Tmobile version .... any ideas ?
[HD2 General] cherokeefupa:
i've been looking and can't find anything. I guess its just HD2 Tmobile
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I Don't think it has a number

PDAdb simply says T-Mobile HTC HD2, while some of the other versions have a "T" number.

[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
Android would be about 100% more amazing if it included interactive widgets like Sense and other home replacements allow...do you think Google will ever make that standard on stock android?
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
i hope so. but, depending, some already interactive. basically the whole point of a widget
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Just get Sense. You'll be happy you did :D
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
I'd second that, but until BT can work on it, I'll have to pass sadly.

Heck, BT needs to work properly on stock Android 2.1 first, IMHO (But I shall refrain from derailing the thread :p ).
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
Nah I use sense periodically...but for some reason I'm not really feeling it anymore...I like stock android. I wish Launcher 2 modified would work with the Sense widgets, that'd make my life.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JColorado:
I am trying to use afew pics from my desktop as contact pics, but when I open them up on the phone it rotates them? I don't know if there is already a way to rotate them on the phone or if I need some sort of photo editor.

Sorry if this is a total noob question, but I am a noob and not to tech savy...:o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
This post belongs in the Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps sub-forum, but:

Here's a free one:

It works OK for basic photo editing (including rotating).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tjworldgreatest:
heres another one.. Pocket Photopad, its free too.

is there a way i can get the hd2 to automatically download my emails when it comes to my phone its annoying having to wait for it to download everytime i want to see an email
[HD2 General] Tomen:
All my e-mails a coming over gmail (I have 4 diferent e-mail adress) and I´m using active sync to m.google.com. All e-mails a now filtered (No spam).
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
LOL what?? did you not read what the OP posted? what does your response have to do with anything??

I wish i had something to add... but unfortunately.. i'm also someone who has interest in this question.... anyone?
[HD2 General] Stoferr:
Yeah I too am interested in knowing this :)
[HD2 General] RalphS:
I too use gmail

It has a push email server option.

It has the facility to import mail & contacts from numerous other accounts.

If your regular account is a gmail (or gmail 'family', ie Sky) account, you can forward mail from it to your gmail push email account.

This way I have a 'one stop shop' single push email account on my HD2 for my numerous email accounts. Can reply from the received account too.

I have set the option to also leave collected mail on the original server.

Have been using it faultlessly for a year.

[HD2 General] ariel123:
so how does this solve my problem about MY EMAIL DOWNLOADING AUTOMATICALLY

please explain......
[HD2 General] ariel123:
im sorry maybey i might be phrasing this wrong. i would like to know how an email MEASAGE can download automatically. without having to keep hitting on get the rest of measage
[HD2 General] RalphS:
Have read your post many times. I thought I had answered it!

Push email is delivered to your device as soon as it arrives in your server's mailbox. AUTOMATICALLY
[HD2 General] legend17:
this thread is quite comical - it seems many of us are interested in this - however people are answering it with either a totally different subject or actually not answering at all.

@RalphS - to be fair, you didn't answer it at all. We all know the email is SUPPOSE to arrive automatically once the Gmail servers or Hotmail servers pick it up, however it is not being pushed to the phone AUTOMATICALLY. You have to set a schedule for it which by default is to check every two hours unless you change it. It is NOT being PUSHED.

This is the point and also the reason "ariel123" posted a very common question most here would like a solution to.

Reading the question would avoid confusion. Clearly you did not understand the question despite "reading it amny times" - bottom line, no, you didn't answer it!
[HD2 General] jakem:
It would be easier to answer the question if the OP asked it in clear English using correct grammar and spelling. It's a bit difficult to answer something that appears to be written by a child who expects help from mind readers.

The first post certainly did seem to be asking about push email which explains why people have offered gmail as a suggestion. However, the OP's subsequent posts seem to be about downloading entire emails rather than just headers. If this is the case (and it's impossible to be certain given the lack of legible detail in the posts) then do the following if you're using Exchange or EAS:

- Click on Start>Tools>Activesync.

- Click on Menu>Options, select your exchange server and click on Settings.

- Click on Next twice, select Email and then click on Settings.

- Select Entire Message from the Download size limit combo and tick the Include file attachments option.

- Click on OK and then click on Finish.
[HD2 General] RalphS:
It has been properly answered - seriously.

My incoming mail is PUSHED to my mobile AUTOMATICALLY in REAL TIME WITHOUT A SCHEDULE.

Notification of the previous post arrived, of it's own accord, @ 14:15.

I do not have my own mail server. I rely solely on the Gmail exchange server to SEND to me my incoming mail, in their entirety, PUSHED in real time, collected from my numerous accounts, all for free.

In my 1st post I gave the link on how to set up for push email.
[HD2 General] ariel123:

not sure how long the NFL app might be available since Verizon picked up the NFL contract from under Sprint. We know how the NFL is with their trademarks, copyrights, etc.

[HD2 General] Smartmob:
The problem is in Opera 10.

Soft reset mob and start camera...it will be all ok. Then start Opera 10 and close and then open camera...and it wont, he will say memory low.

[Desire General] bcmobile:
There is a lot of speculation and conflicting reports of how voice-to-text was implemented on the Desire. After reading every thread related to v2t, Im still totally confused :confused:

If you already have a handset, could you please tell us what the real story is with voice-to-text? No speculation, rumours etc please! If you are lucky enough to already have one, please help by answering these 2 questions?

1) Is voice-to-text available as a 'general' text input (in place of the on-screen keyboard)? I know there is a thread on how to enable it using an alternative keyboard but that's not what Im asking.

2) Is it available on all versions (unlocked, T-Mobile, Orange??)

To assist with getting a definitive answer to the second question, please include the carrier/store you bought your handset from.

Thanks in advance for your help!!
[Desire General] adjei7:
initially i thought this thread was about how good voice to text was, but then read your post. So i'll comment on both.

I got my desire direct from t mobile, and voice to text was not a function i could find. It wasn't until i downloaded the keyboard app referenced in other posts, and then switched to android keyboard instead of the stock htc keyboard, that i could find and use speech to text. I presume that the speech to text button was always present on the android keyboard and the extra keyboard app only activated the function which wasn't working before. However, as i only found out how to activate the android keyboard after i downloaded the extra keyboard app, I can't be too sure.

I can only issume that it would be the same for the generic ROM and other network ROM users. But from hearing about the people who have received the OTA update it seems that speech to text function may be changing or being disabled. I definitely hope not, though.

I used speech to text for half of this message. It seems to be working really well for me, despite what a lot of other people are saying. It's definitely not perfect, but i can see it as a function i will use often. I look forward to it getting better, and hope it will stay on the desire.

What you want doesn't exist yet. The most of what you want is on Vega's Legend port, no working video though.
[G1 General] Sheldonjace:
Sounds to me like you have no real reason for Rooting your phone other than Pinch and Zoom. All the other things can be downloaded through Android Marketplace and mostly for free too. If you're main concern is Pinch and Zoom then I'd rethink what phone you actually want as the Iphone can perform all your wants without any hassle.

However if you fail to find this thread I'd start here if you wish to pursue a custom ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480
