[HD2 General] lokiderelb:
Hello there.

At first, I'm german and this is my school english and i wasn't realy good at school, so i'll try my very best and hope it will be readable.

I have my HD2 now for 5 month so it near to the half year.

As you know it'S not the cheapest thing in the world i had a few moments with it when i thought to myself: "God how stupid was that?".

The first moment i was thinking that was in the first week of using my HD2.

It was in the morning. standing in front of the mirror in the bath i had my hd2 under the mirror runing some music for a better start in the day. It stood upright beacause of the rubber end that i was thinking it will give enough grip to hold it right there. i was brushing my teeth and at the and i turned on the water spit out the crap and then it happend. i thing there was condensate unter my HD2 and the grip was suddenly gone. know you have to imagine slowmotion. my hand goes to the water-tap as i wanted to turn of the water. right in that moment the HD2 slipped off from the frame above the washbowl.it arived in the moment when the water stoped an the last drop was gone. there was my HD2 in the washbowl dry as the desert and looked into my face as it wants to say " you know that was lucky you stupid ashole". And that was exact that what i was thinking right in that moment.

no scratch and not a tiny drop of water on it. that was nearly a miracle.

the second time was very evil. i had to add the fact that i have a cat.

so i thougt, make it save to carge my HD2 and searc the highest point in the house. so i put it on top of my closet. i thought that the cat would never get up there and know the suprising thing in this story. the cat didn't got up there ever. to be true the cat didn't have anything to do with that ;).

i was in another room and then i heard that sound i never heard before. i never heard it because i didn't know the sound of vibrating HD2 on my hardwood closet. then there was another sound. i think it was the sound of a faling HD2 and the alu cover flewing around the room.

as i got aware of that i went into the room my HD2 was charging and it was on the floor screaming for help. so what happend was i didn't expect that the vibration of a incoming call was that hard, that my HD2 could fall of the closet. so it falls 2 meters down throws the back cover away and that was all. No scatches no broken display nothing. just the back cover falls of. the phone was still ringing and the first thing i said to my mother who was calling : "you nearly broked my HD2". I will never put it on top of anything. from that day on i'll charge on the floor.

so i've had a few moments like this and till today there is nothing broken or scratched. when i clean the disply it looks like fresh out of the box. so i think im the stupidest HD2 user on earth and i'm happy that this thing is the strongest phone i ever had. the first time i think that the mony was good invested.

so what about your storys?

ps.: hope my english wasn't that bad.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Guten tag lokiderelb!

Your English is certainly better than my school German!

I personally have a story from less than a few minutes ago.

I popped the HD2 on my work desk (which is quite smooth and slippery) next to my keyboard, and near the edge of the desk.

I did think to myself it was a bit near to the edge, but the keyboard is in the way, so I can't knock it, right?

What did I do? I knocked it, *with the keyboard* and it bounced off the desk, onto the handle of my chair, onto the foot of the chair, then onto a solid floor.

About a metre off of the floor, with several obstacles along the way :(

It ended up screen-down on the floor, a wash of fear went through me as a million pictures of smashed HD2s and iPhones* flashed before my eyes, like my life would in a near death experience...

I picked it up, making sure I didn't run it over with my chair (that would be my luck!) and slowly turned it around. Now, you know you get that fear wash through you, and a much better wash of relief? Well I got the latter.

My HD2 is now firmly on my desk, right in the middle!

* (my mate has broken several iPhones like that)
[HD2 General] lokiderelb:
I can hear my heartbeat while reading your story ;)

I wonder where is the limit to get this phone broke.

I saw pictures of broken displays and everyone knows the "knife vs HD2" movie on youtube. (i never will be able to give that a try).

ps.:thanks for the compliment.
[HD2 General] Frizzel:
I bought one.

hd2

sad stories:( btw why dont you buy a nice case for your mobile?:cool:
[HD2 General] lokiderelb:
Mhh. I respekt your expirience with HD2 and also could exept your point of view for the HD2 also i can't confirm that opinion , but i realy think this isn't the right thread for this.

do you know what spam is?

there comes a nice thin leader cover with it and most of the time i don't use the hd2 its in there, but to get the hole expirience of this device you can't keep it inside of any case, even it won't be very comfortable.

but my long time expirience with HD2 makes me wonder if i could ever broke it.
[HD2 General] quasi_mojo:
until the cat knocks the wardrobe over... :D
[HD2 General] Frizzel:
With all due respect, just because you dont agree with my opinion, it doesnt make it invalid and it doesnt make it spam.

It was just meant to be a bit of humour about my regret of having purchased this phone.
[HD2 General] lokiderelb:
So than it was ment ironic or some other kind of humor. But it would have been easier to understand with some of these --->;)
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
I got over excited on the day got it and nearly bricked it by flashing, funny thing is been flaahing my T/diamond 1 & 2 for ages lol, luckily this website saved my ass :)
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Okay. Here's my story.

I like to listen to music a lot with my HD2. it was after 2 weeks of owning the device, (TMOUS), and I JUST took off the silicone case it came with because it made it hard for me to slip HD2 in and out of my jacket pocket.

Anyways, I was listening to music with the pair of earbuds connected to the device, and I saw this stray cat right in front of me. The cat was friendly for some reason, and started to rub on my legs.

So i bent over to pet the cat.

As I bent over with my arm extended, the earbuds pulled my phone from my pocket, and since I was leaned forward, the phone slipped out!

I haven't experienced that kind of slow motion yet, but it happened. I immediately moved my handto follow the device, but my hands were too slow or far away to save the phone from hitting the asphalt road.

At the last second my foot somehow moved on its own, and broke the fall.

I have a slight scratch on the corner of the phone, but it's pretty concealed with the case.

I'm NEVER taking off the case again.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Put my digital camera back on the desk without really looking... oops, actually on the HD2 that was exactly at the same place. Got 2 scratches on the screen from the screws on the camera bottom, after 3 weeks... :(
[HD2 General] kuttyjoe:
LOL Funny stories. Well, my story is short and it doesn't have a happy ending. I went for a walk and used my 4 day old HD2 as an "MP3 Player". I pulled it out of my pocket and dropped it face down on the sidewalk. CRACK. The glass shattered. The end. The moral of the story is, a touchscreen phone is not a "walkman". One fumble and it's going for expensive repairs.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
Funny/sad stories :( This is for the HD1, so apologies for cheating, but it was still in the last year (October) :)

I cancelled my phone insurance two months into owning my HD. That very day I left it on an outdoor table with friends for one minute while I popped to the loo. This was the very first time I'd decided not to treat it like a real-life baby, and I paid for it, because I returned to a phone dripping in beer and my friend with a very guilty expression.

It survived almost working for three months, but then I got annoyed and got the HD2 :)

Anyway, anyone want to buy an HD1? It's in excellent condition :D
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
lmao! :D

mine's not too funny it's more of a mystery.. (crazy ninja face)

one day i put the phone in my pocket, nothing special, walking around etc, i took it out of my pocket and the camera glass was smashed to bits

to this very day im still clueless :confused:

i guess i need bigger pockets :cool:
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
*eh...

For some reason I double posted on an accident.

Sorry.
[HD2 General] the_cool:
Haha that was an awesome story! but cmon, you cant blame your mum for it :P hehe

I was just thinkin before i read the post that someone will say "i bought one" and lo behold some one did. if you dont like the phone, RETURN IT :mad: or give it to me! i wont mind having two hd2s!
[HD2 General] a13x4nd3r:
i was browsing on the web..

sorry for bad english
[HD2 General] pricefix23:
Bent

I crushed it in the car door. Now the LCD is cracked and the chassis(?) is bent so the battery cover won't fit. Does anyone know if its worth selling it for spare parts (e.g. camera module/buttons/batteries)?
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Well, I bought a Case-mate Barely There for HD2 and put it on. And for the 1st time put it off it nearly scratched my HD2 corner. I returned it right away. That's my only sad story:)
[HD2 General] Spider24:
Please Help

When I install WMDC 6.1 and connect HD2 it failes to install a driver for "Windows Mobile-Based Device".

WMDC does not get anykind of connection so no syncing possible.

I've tried

Uninstalling WMDC, stopping and deleting services, hard reset device, ticked/unticked 'enable faster data syncronization' nothing works

even tried WMDC 6.0

will try anything please
[HD2 General] Spider24:
Wrok fine with active sync 4.5 of xp,

I'm currently using windows 7 32 bit with office 2007

Hi, I'm trying to recover some old deleted files on one of my SD cards, I usually use disk internals uneraser but all the files its restoring are still corrupt and so cant be viewed (photos), is there any better tool to recover with? I tried photorec but its really confusing :S. I really need these files back, has anyone got any ideas? I would be greatly appreciative :):)
[Off-topic] stylez:
Link to thread with what i use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651563 no software is going to be 100% effective as can be a very hard job hence why data recovery services are very expensive.

Hey guys, thanks for all the input but so far none of these have worked, they've either only found some files, or any of the files I want are too corrupt to use, the problem is I need some of the older photos, deleted a few months ago. I need a really powerfull program..
[Off-topic] stylez:
Like i said no program is 100% to which is why data recovery is an expensive business ;)
[Off-topic] [★]:
Well the cost isnt an issue if you know what I mean ;)

really sucks that I cant get this picture in particular back:(
[Off-topic] wovens:
Once I had to recover a memory stick that was corrupted and I was forced to reformat and got reazonable success with PCtools File Recovery.

On the other hand, tried using same on a friend's stick without success because she had partially reused (overwritten deleted files) the stick. It also works on sd cards inside small card readers that look like memory sticks.

There is also another application from sony called Memory Card File Rescue: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?upd_id=2159&SMB=YES

but you will have to provide some sort of sony card type id to be able to download it, but it works with sd cards also as far as I tested but is less effective.
[Off-topic] [★]:
Thanks, but that one didnt work either.

Hi again, which one did not work? I've mentioned two!

Should have one more image later on today.

Im torn between this and the ivisi shield......
[Desire Accessories] llcooljazz:
One more image as promised
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
nice, gonna get this once out as I like the one with my HD2
[Desire Accessories] MasDroid:
Also found on eBay, slightly cheaper and stock ETA is 4th of May:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-HTC-D..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches?hash=item5d28bcbc33
[Desire Accessories] Jasand:
is that a strap that goes over the desire and velcro onto the case?

also does the desire fit in all the way as in the pic it looks like it does not go in all the way
[Desire Accessories] andrewpmoore:
Even cheaper if you buy directly from their site. £10.00 including UK delivery. www.supergps.co.uk

I know, I just bought it on ebay for £11.99 and then remembered they'd got a website and foolishly looked to check on the price - wish I hand't bothered!
[Desire Accessories] oawalker:
PLAY.com has it as well coming out 15th may

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...e-Google-Nexus-One-Pouch-PO-S520/Product.html
[Desire Accessories] s4vva:
might just go for this http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-po-s491-desire-standard-leather-pouch-black-p24270.htm same as above without the velcro pull thingy which would just get on my nerves.

edit: Just did a search for the same item on the handtec site and it comes up as a hero/legend case. On that basis it looks like a mistake by mobilefun so I would avoid it.
[Desire Accessories] who_me:
It's not a velcro strap...it's a pull tab, which makes it easy to gain access to your phone...you pull on the tab and phone slides out.

Does anyone know if the inside of the case is lined with microfibers? Or if it's just leather lined? Know it's not released yet...but wondered whether anyone who has had experience of HTC pouches could shed any light on it...
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
If it's like the HD2 pouch then it'll be lined, hope so anyway
[Desire Accessories] EddyOS:
Just seen that this is now expected to be released mid-July!!!

Bit of a piss take if you ask me
[Desire Accessories] dr_s:
If you search on google, lots of retailers advertising as releasing 7th or 10th May mostly. Except expansys and htcaccessortstore (which is expansys anyway) which are advertising July.

Hope it is available from 10th May. Looking forward to get one.

BTW has anyone tried ths pouch from amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-PREMIUM-Slip-Pouch-Desire/dp/B003K03B44/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1

Only £0.95 and for £0.96 you can get 5 x screen protectors. Is this true?
[Desire Accessories] jamfitz86:
I bought the screen protectors off them and they are top notch. I'm tempted to try that cover incase it is equally as good. Wish I had spotted it and I could have saved 2 quid shipping.

JAmes.

Hey everyone - I've been looking all over to no avail for a cabs that will update the following iconsets:

Sense 2.5 Settings Screen

Call History (Sense tab or standard screen)

Communications Manager

I am running a custom ROM that tweaks all of these and I would like to restore the originals, or select from some that others have created... but just can't find any. Are they out there?
[Desire Themes and Apps] npw:
This issue relates to my HTC Desire which an unlocked handset in the UK. It has come to my attention that certain applications do not appear to be in the Android Market that I would have expected. For example the Gameloft titles (eg Asphalt 5) do not appear.

Are these applications country restricted or perhaps do I have an issue. I read elsewhere that the issue could be related to locale or language in the settings, howeve rI have checked these are set to English.
[Desire Themes and Apps] FloatingFatMan:
Try using search instead of asking a question that's already been asked and answered a dozen times already.
[Desire Themes and Apps] npw:
The search on this forum is a mess. Found an answer through the google android postings.

Thanks for your "help"
[Desire Themes and Apps] FloatingFatMan:
Search on here works fine, and if you bother to actually read the forum rules, you'd know that you're meant to actually use it before asking the same question people have already answered dozens of times already.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Reflian:
Thanks FloatingFatMan, I actually got here using search and now you've been so kind to not provide a normal answer.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Waza_Be:
one crazy stuff. click on the first result.

[Desire Themes and Apps] FloatingFatMan:
Ever thought that just MAYBE, some people are starting to get fed up with the same questions being asked time and time again, when the answer could be got with just a couple of seconds of bothering to look?

You could have found the answer in less time than it took you to ask the question in the first place.
[Desire Themes and Apps] monkeyfishing:
This is true, however this matter could have also been settled in less than the 26 hours or 3 posts it took for you to school a noob.

Let's play nice FloatingFatMan; this is not the first thread I've read on here in that last few days where your comments are rude or unhelpful.

@npw - You'll find the answer to your question is that Google have not yet approved the Desire ROM for use with protected apps. Wait a little and the missing apps should appear in good time.

As already mentioned, please remember to Google thoroughly before you post!
[Desire Themes and Apps] npw:
Yes, thank you monkeyfishing, that was the answer I found after googling it. I searched this forum but not Google, this has always been my first stop for HTC related questions. Slight mistake on my part, but thank you for polite answer/ request to search rather than the rant of an ill tempered fat man (a floating one at that). I guess its just a waiting game for google to approve the desire for protected apps
[Desire Themes and Apps] FloatingFatMan:
Now if I was REALLY ill tempered, I'd take exception to that. But as I'm not, I'll just be childish, bend over, and moon you instead. :p
[Desire Themes and Apps] npw:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] patrickvh:
Just read Chinavasion news.

There is a device called myPad which looks very much as the X7500.

http://www.chinavasion.com/product_...-windows-smartphone-with-5-inch-touch-screen/

No keyboard though and lack of 8/16GB HDD.

I thing GPS is also missing.

Same processor, memory, screensize and camera.

Would be very nice if we can flash this cheap myPad with WM6.5! :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nor11wan:
Hi there,the O/S could be WM6.1 CHINESE VERSION!!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] PaulMdx:
Any idea if this is actually a X7500? I would like to get one of these and put Android on it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] patrickvh:
My experience with ChinaVasion Support is that they are quick and pretty complete. Info they don't have they seem to cannot find.

I myself have no hardware programming of Android.

And "Cross posting" is not allowed here I think?

The processor, ROM, RAM, GSEN and wifi looks the same to me and things like GPS are extra chips on the mainboard so if Android will be build for X7500 I am pretty sure it will work on the Chinese myPad too.

Maybe someone with the right knowledge can mail Kayode Enunekwu who bought one (see below at link).
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eghoti1:
If you use iPhoneToday you can pretty much setup your x7500 to copy an ipad's home screen OS look and even use the same background image as the ipad. It works really well with the Advantage-- autorotates, displays icons bubbles with counts, etc

still the android port is what I am waiting for

I'm having a hard time trying to buy one on Chinavasion.

Paypal is refusing my current credit card, then I've tried add a new one, but Paypal give me a invalid zip code error. I'm not confident enough to try bank transfer. :o

I must not miss this chance. :(

Sorry for my poor English.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] patrickvh:
Strange, have you contacted Paypal about it?

I have bought a couple of phones and a car stereo in a few years from them and never had any problem with my creditcard and delivery.

I am no wholesaler or shop myself so could just have been lucky.

I would never buy with bank transfer indeed. No insurance whatsoever that you get the product or the money back.

I just ordered one.. the chinavision model is last years model.. the manufacturer is actually a company called QIGI (qwee-gee..) and the model number is the u1000 smartbook.. I ordered the newer model U2000 which comes with WM6.5.. should be here by next week..
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
Looks like both versions have GPS. What's more interesting is the older version supports the 850 band but the newer one doesn't. I see one BIG problem with both versions - they only support EDGE, no 3G! I would buy one

today

if it had 3G. No 3G (or 4G), no sale...

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] patrickvh:
Just saw that the Athena is also called "Dopod U1000".

That makes the name "QiGi Smartbook U1000" even more copycat.

Would be bad indeed if there is no support for UMTS/HSDPA!

CSD is for Chinese market, right?

There is a "C-Motech Mangrove" with whopping 7" screen.

Hi guys! I also bought and received on monday a u2000. Everything works fine, except the battery... few calls, some reading in word = battery down in 3 hours. Next day, not using it , except 1 call, battery down in 6 hours.

I don't know what to do... a replacement of the battery, a refund...I just want the battery to last for 12-14 hours.

How long does your battery last?

What is your advice?
