I remember Nokias having ghost voicemail messages, these were reset by the mobile service provider, check with your network just in case.
[HD2 General] bps1:
Possible Solution...

I'm not an expert, but I kept noticing this problem as well (HTD2 on AT&T). Happens after a hard reset OR if AT&T updates their network or something (who knows).

Anyway, experimented and found if I left a message to my phone from another line right after a reset (when I was seeing the "ghost" voice mail notification), allowed the message to register on the HD2. Turn screen off then on. Slide VM notification. Dial VM. Check the messages and delete all (press 7 to delete). Exit VM with * key. And the ghost notification disappears. I will update if this works in the future.

Hope this helps someone.

[HD2 General] marduk79:
Some consumers reported ghost notifications on the Touch Pro 2. I don't know how they fixed them but I know they did. You may want to search those forums to see if the same solution can be used on the HD2. I think it should given that the operating software is pretty much the same.

With the advent of 32gb micro sd, plus mini sd adapters, there is no need for the microdrive. Is there any advantage to disabling it so that there is no battery drain? If so, how would I do this?.

(I did try searching for an answer to this - but the articles all seemed to concern faulty microdrives and how to get them working again, rather than actually taking them out of the loop completely)

By the way, when device goes to sleep mode after predefined time, what happens to the HD? Does it go to sleep mode as well like Wireless gets switched off? If it does, than well here lies a clue, IMHO.

So, did it work?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rjstep3:
No! At least I couldn't see any way of turning off the microdrive.

In fact I have rather gone back to the x7510 - I was trying the old one because I always liked the buttons which made everyday use so much easier. I suppose HTC dumped them to reduce manufacturing costs.

The real problem with the x7500 was one I had forgotten: it is not the old software like Opera, there are some advantages (no pun intended) like the buttons and the extra memory due to smaller OS space, but the real problem I faced was with the radio - after losing signal (like going into the underground railway) it would not pick it up again after coming out at the destination. I upgraded to 1.58, but no change, it was really annoying, the only thing I could do was to turn off the radio and then turn it on again. So in fact I have gone back to the x7510, using the old one as a spare and cycling both batteries.

thanks for the offer of help anyway,

Hi i have an odd problem my HD2 wont charge while in the car i am using the lusb lead that came with the phone plugged into a cigarette lighter adaptor with USB port. I know the lead is ok because it charges when plugged into my laptop and i know the cigarette adaptor is ok because it charges my ipod when connected, but my hd2 just wont charge. I have tried turning of bluetooth wifi well everything that can be just to check it was not using more power than it was geting but no joy. The HD2 does sy it is charging and the battery indicator changes to show this too but the battery percentage goes down. Any ideas.

HD2 Charging issue with 1500mAh battery

Got a second 1500mAh battery, the problem with it I can't charge it when the device is ON; When the phone is turned OFF, the battery will charge normally! The original HD2 battery is working fine.:confused:

Anybody experiencing the same problem?
[Nexus One General] jchap2k:
Since I have owned the N1 I have noticed that the screen will sometimes loose it calibration. Recently I have found though that when it starts to behave irregularly, if I turn off the display and use the slide to unlock mechanism built into the phone, the calibration is restored.

I was wondering if there was some type of calibration function to the unlocking feature of the N1, or if it is simply a placebo effect. If there is a calibration function, I wonder if there is a way to call it outside of the lock screen.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
It's not a placebo, pretty much everyone has to do it once in a while.

[HD2 General] vamarris:
Hello all,

I was curious about the possibility of editing the windows/Transformers.exe to allow you to place other movies into the sd/transformers folder and update the exe allowing you to utilize it as a movie browser/selector. I placed some other movies into the folder and renamed it "movies" however I do not know how to edit the .exe to recognize them or even if this is possible.

I would be curious if this is possible as it would allow you to place shortcut on program grid in Sense for faster/easier browsing of movies.

Does anyone know of any way to place link to a folder into grid. If this were possible the issue would be mute.

Thanks for any input regarding this!
[HD2 General] dkb218:
Transformers doesn't have a separate movie browser. It uses the HTC vid app. Its just the way the movies were formatted that make them look so good.
[HD2 General] CrazyDreads21:
Looks like you didn't really read the OP, I think he's asking if there's a way to add movies to the list that you see after launching Transformers.exe

To OP:

I think it may be possible depending on much of the assembly is hackable
[HD2 General] dkb218:
My bad... Reading is fundamental! I'm going to assume there has to be a regedit that points to the transformers movies.
[HD2 General] curiousGeorge:
I know this is a lame answer, but why not just put your movies in a folder and fire up file explorer? ;)
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Sense style file explorer would look like that, that's why.
[HD2 General] curiousGeorge:
Okay, okay. Resco 2010 can be themed to look (and act) a heck of a lot like sense, and it supports thumbnail previews and all sorts of rich media browsing experiences. And it's just a file browser, too. ;)
[HD2 General] vamarris:
Thanks for the input. Maybe I will give that a try. I suppose a better solution would be the ability to link to folders thru Sense interface rather than having to open a file explorer type prog.

For now I suppose a folder in the start menu will have to do. Thanks again!
[HD2 General] nightryder21:
I will try encoding a video file to the same specs as the Transformer movies and put it in the folder. Although I have noticed and mp4 file will use that video player to view the file.
[HD2 General] cellphonechris:
How can we find out the specs for the pre-loaded Transformers movies? And what do you recommend we use to convert movies we may have on our PC's?
[HD2 General] nightryder21:
connect you phone to your comp as a disk drive. then go to the transformer folder and right click on either file and click properties
[HD2 General] bbtech0251:
Interesting Question

I could be completely reading into this wrong, but let me throw my two cents in.

My buddy and I were discussing how we loved watching the Transformer's movie, especially because you can use the seek function without leaving full-screen mode. If you use windows media player, when you tap the screen in fullscreen mode it immediately reverts back to windowed format.

Someone else had already mentioned above how the transformers.exe uses the HTC video player. However, if you open a program in File Explorer it uses Windows Media player. Basically, I wanted to be able to use the HTC video player for all my videos.

Thankfully this is possible to do, it is just annoying. Here is how you can watch videos using the HTC player:

1) Start Menu > Albums

2) Tap on "Albums" at the bottom left-hand corner (softkey)

3) Under Storage Card or My Device, tap on My Videos (or the name of the folder where you have your videos)

4) Tap on video

By doing this, you can utilize the awesome HTC video player!

I hope this helps with what you were trying to do.

Yeah, I tried the same thing as going through the file explorer isnt one click access (unless you always leave it in the Movies folder).

[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
maybe you guys can help me out...

i removed transformers from my sd card and onto my computer in an effort to conserve space.. but now i realize that i'm not gonna use all the space.. so i decided to put the movies back on sd card.. the only issue is that now my transformers shortcut.. doesn't work.. it gets to the page where i have to click either transformers 1 or transformers 2.. then when i select one of them.. it states that the media cannot be found..

so yea.. i was wondering if anyone can assist me in making that shortcut work again... i'm assuming that i have to direct a file using a registry editor.. or something... i think something along those lines.. i can't imagine this being really all that hard.. so please someone help me out and kinda guide me through it.. any suggestions?>
[HD2 General] kwill:
There has to be and I just haven't found it yet. When I just copy past a shortcut, it never works when I go to the start menu and click on it. Although, if I'm in Windows folder and click on it, it opens the Movies folder.

does anyone else have any suggestions for me??

i really want to be able to view those dumb movies whenever i click the shortcuts.. like how i used to do it.. not from opening file explorer and whatnot.. its for cosmetic purposes...
[HD2 General] The_Scientist:
you have to make a "transformers" file in your SD card...there place your movies...then install the cab file you found and it should work.
[HD2 General] :
I ripped the transformers.exe, apart with a hex editor and it appears that the file names appear to be hard coded into the file, so without the source code, I doubt this will ever be possible ...
[HD2 General] nightryder21:
People.... If you do not have the actual movies on your SD Card then the transformers cab will be useless. It is simple an a shortcut to a list of the two movies. No movies = useless cab.
[HD2 General] :
Actually that is incorrect, it is not a shortcut, it is an application, sort of like a customized file explorer, but you are correct, in the fact it is hard coded to only show those two Transformers movies ..

The original question was not about the transformers movies, but about the app to see if it could be used as a "universal" movie browser .
[HD2 General] muchelaguito:
Make sure that the 2 movie files are copied to a directory called "Transformers" in the root of the SD card. Then, just run the Transformers App. It should work now. I did the same on mine after erasing them from the card, and it worked wonderfully!
[HD2 General] Habbit:
The easiest way to view your list of movies more aesthetically than the File Explorer is to create shortcuts of them and put them in a /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Movies folder.
[HD2 General] jvillejoe:
ive done the same thing i reformated the sd card and poof there goes my movies lol. how did you get them back?

[Nexus One General] maxh:
I found a dead pixel in my first nexus one so I decided to swap it. The new one arrived today and I played with them side by side. The screens are very clearly different between the two. With everything set up identical and the same brightness setting, the one with the dead pixel is very clearly washed out looking with a greenish bluish tint to it. I actually noticed this somewhat before receiving the swap but thought it might be my imagination (the screen didn't seem as clear as my previous t-mobile version.) However, with them next to each other the difference was night and day.

I tried to get a good pic of it, but my photography skills are lacking and this is the best I could get. In person the one on the left (new one) is way better looking. The one on the right (sending back for dead pixel) has nowhere near the contrast and feels washed out, greenish, and unsharp.

So to conclude, if you think your screen might not be as as good as it should be, you may be right. I can't help but wonder if the dead pixel was just a symptom of a larger problem with the screen; perhaps the significantly reduced battery life I experience (compared to the t-mobile version I originally had) is also related to a screen issue. Time will tell...

Update: Here's a better pic. Especially note the green tint and washed out look at the top right where the time is displayed. Look back and forth between them. I edited the color slightly so that what you see more closely resembles what I see. In person the brightness appears the same for both even though the right one looks brighter in the pic.
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
I agree that the dead pixel could of been part of a bigger problem, but the way the picture came out it appears as if the one on the right is alot sharper.

You should try turning the brightness down on the phones before taking the picture. Also did you lose a flash, or is this effect just from it being at 100%brightness?
[Nexus One General] maxh:
I know it looks that way, but it's just a crappy pic. I'll try again later today before I send the phone back. I didn't use flash, and screen brightness had no effect on the difference between the phones.
[Nexus One General] dr1337:
I actually prefer the the one on the right. The one on the left looks way too reddish/pink. Have you done a side-by-side comparison on the lowest brightness setting and going to a white screen page like Google?
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
the one on the right kind of looks like the color on a droid screen
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
The one on the right is far more color accurate. The one on the left looks like my T-mo launch N1, which has blown out reds and makes everyone's faces red in pictures that I take until I move them to a PC with a proper screen.

Color accuracy should be preferred over "pop" and "vibrance", IMO
[Nexus One General] dr1337:
Agreed, I wonder if HTC received a delivery of defective AMOLEDs from Samsung and just decided to use them rather than return them...
[Nexus One General] lazaro17:
I had a similar issue. My old Tmobile N1 had a the blueish tint (like the picture on the right) but I had a dead pixel.

My new Tmobile N1 has the purple tint (like pic on left) and has no dead pixels yet. I've had them equal amount of time now.

I wonder if perhaps the old screens were having dead pixel issues and HTC decided to go with some different screens?
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
It could also just be the backlighting. The LED that's being used probably just emits at a higher temperature, eg more bluish-white.
[Nexus One General] maxh:
With AMOLED there is no backlighting. Each pixel is its own LED, red green and blue ones, emitting its own light.
