Was excited but gonna stick with my current method

I tried this with high hopes but the fact that it turns right back on if you move the phone is no good for me while on the go, but is great for when my phone is just sitting on top of my desk or a table.

What I have been doing, and what others might want to try, takes a few steps but does work. I installed a little app called DisplayOff which turns off the display with one tap and will stay off until any hardware button is pressed once. I used Resco Explorer to create a shortcut for the app which is just an exe that doesn't need to be installed, just placed somewhere on your device and clicked on to activate. So when I'm in a call on bluetooth as I almost always am, I have to tap the home key so that I can then tap the DisplayOff icon which is a Sense Quick Link.

After thinking about this more, I just realized that using AE Button Plus, I could map DisplayOff to activate with say 3 taps of a hardware button instead of my current method..........

I know this since the day tmobile usa hd2 came out, nothing special about this as method, you can also blank the screen by placing your finger or object on top of the sensor next left to the speaker.
[HD2 General] mmorisa:
hi there,

everybody knew about the light sensor thing. What the poster said was another way of putting the screen off besides using the sensor.

As simple as this, for example.

You can soft reset your HD2 by;

a) Take the battery out, put back in, then power ON again.

b) Press the soft reset button underneath the battery cover.

c) Use any third party software that you can tap to soft reset the HD2, like SKTools, Memmaid, or simple softreset software.

regards,

morisa
[HD2 General] mr2kqql:
I know what the OP said. come on guys this isnt rocket science discovery, I am pretty sure alot alot alot of ppl know this already, kinda stupid to make a thread about it.
[HD2 General] Zepiii:
Niice :) Thank you, that is working on BiCh0n ROM !
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Well, nobody talked of it before, and as you can see many people learned something new - definitely worthy of a thread. That's if it worked for me ;)
[HD2 General] DrBasem:
thxxxxxxxxxx

works fine on Miri 6.5.x V15.2

i believe it's based on a TMOUS rom
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Theres always one thats gotta put a downer on it... Obviously its not that well known or you wouldnt be the only one slating the guy for starting a thread...

All I can say is you should just be proud that you are a special know-it-all with (at the time of posting) 8 posts to your name... How many of those 8 are slating people?

To the OP - Good find and ignore mr2kqql... I am another one who didn't know about this method so thanks.
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Thanks starfury.

Well, I've been away from xda since I posted this (dam finals, 2 down, 2 to go). Glad it's working for most of you, though it's a shame it doesn't work for everyone.

Hopefully I'll have time next week to go through the thread and make some sort of a chart as to which ROMs this works on and which it doesn't.
[HD2 General] Afjz:
Hi

Doesn't work with me Ii Had tired while I'm trying please tell us how do you That

thanks
[HD2 General] jubas:
where is the link for download

iam not find the link. thank to help me
[HD2 General] secano:
Your killing me!!
[HD2 General] jubas:
sorry but no link in my contry can you repost

its a first time iam not see a link can you repost here please i need this application thank
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
There is no link.... you just tap on the screen with 2 fingers during a call and the screen goes black. Then shake to wake.

Again, there was never a link or cab or file...:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
I believe that this little tip on our hd2 should be posted in the tips and tricks sticky at the top of this page... you are the first to my knowledge to come across this information... but yea...

and I'm sure if you are able to pm the Topic Creator.. he will then add this tip to one of the first 5 posts in that stickied thread... cause eventually this thread will fade into darkness... you should really consider what i told ya.. I'd do it for you.. but i don't want to make it seem like I'm taking credit..
[HD2 General] jubas:
thank

maybe i dont understand first because iam french my english is not perfect , but thank for your help next time i take more time to understand:o
[HD2 General] stanleyhunk:
thanks for the great tips~ love ya~ hahaha
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Was planning on doing just that, but was going to wait until I knew which ROMs this worked on so people didn't freak when it was posted in tips/tricks and didn't work for them (it doesn't seem to work on all of them, probably only on the 'newer' ones).

But thanks for the initiative!
[HD2 General] Jackuuuuu:
It works mate! You clever! Thank you!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SangoAmolo:
Where can i get this update. I know im late but need it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Badwolve1:
Hi there and welcome to XDA i take it you have a TP2, you need to use Hard-SPL and read the sticky threads

Goodluck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Biofall:
Sigh

Bro come on... I hate rewarding laziness, but I'd feel bad not imparting any wisdom on you.

K. So since you didn't say what version of the TP2 you have, I'll tell you the basics. If you just want the stock (out of the box) upgrade to 6.5, which you probably do, go to htc.com There go to the search bar, and type in "__ touch pro 2" and fill in the "__" with your carrier. Click on your phone, then go to the downloads tab, and the update will be there. Just follow those instructions. But the moral of this story is to READ THE STICKY THREADS, and search a little before you post. It's more fun to find your own way, plus you get more out of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
He doesn't need HardSPL if he has a phone where there's an official 6.5 upgrade available. Although HardSPL and a cooked ROM would be even better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Badwolve1:
Thays what i meant :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] addicus:
Hey guys I've been here for years and strangely for the last couple of weeks I've not found myself on this site very much. Why? Because my damn phone is so damn good I haven't the need/urge to mess with the set up I have. I'm yet to unlock it or flash it (although I hear there are some very nice roms out there). My set up is as so:

Standard TMO USA rom.

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5

Quick Menu 2.8 (task manager/program closer).

JZ Mortbuttons

Opera Mobile 10, Opera Mobile 9, Skyfire, Mobile IE

Resco Explorer

Coreplayer

I haven't added any of my other contact programs or anything because this damn phone comes loaded with great programs and runs very, very well. I know some people may ask why did I create this thread? I see a lot of people coming in here complaining about the HD2 and WM 6.5 and I think the satisfied people need to speak up also. The phone is great (needs very few tweaks) and the OS is awesome now that is actually has a processor strong enough to really use it and a screen beautiful enough to show it's shine!

Join me with your I love my HD2 comments. Peace all. :D
[HD2 General] remo32001:
Im with you on this one, people keep telling me to flash android. But there is no need for that.out of the box the phone rinds fine with no problems, and movies finally look good.

This will be my last phone I ever buy.
[HD2 General] addicus:
I would have to say this is the last phone I buy for a while. It fits all my current work and entertainment needs.
[HD2 General] fastwanabe:
you plan on stealing the rest?
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Saying it's the last phone you'll ever buy is quite a statement... you know it will die eventually, right? You plan on not using a phone after that?

Also, who keeps telling you to flash android on it? You should let them know that it's impossible to do, because their is no android port for the HD2.
[HD2 General] wingates:
HD2

HD2 is a cool phone, I waited for it since it came out first in Europe. I switched carriers too. I think it needs alot of help. The phone is clumsy to me, on any phone I had I never found myself making so many mistakes typing or scrolling, I seen the difference right away when I went back to my itouch. But I love Winmo plus I already have a that love/hate relationship by having dealt with win95/xp/vista/windows 7 so I figure why not keep it going with the mobile too..HD2 is nice it has made me learn alot about mobile phone software like CABS, Flashing, etc. We will see what impact winmo 7 has on the old 6.5/6.5.x versions. You have to admit you can't never get bored and you can't just change stuff on Android the way you can with winmo..ok im done glorifying..peace
[HD2 General] speoples20:
I really like my HD2, it has its quirks but they aren't bad. The screen is amazing on it and whenever I show people it they are blown away. Once some of the issues are fixed, random reception and freezes, it will be an amazing phone.
[HD2 General] secano:
I love my phone too:)

I'll keep it until the HD3 comes out :p
[HD2 General] s0nniez:
OP, you're from inland empire? Me too!
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
flashing ROM itself is quite an amusement for me.

HD2 does have a facebook app that I actually like and use.

I read books quite often, and HD2 became my alternative eBook Reader with an app called, Freda. I still have an eBook Reader as my main source of reading material, but on 4.3" screen, it isn't too bad to read on the phone!

Then I do watch lots of MP4 videos and use Youtube.

besides those, everything else is quite standard.

RSS hub, Web Browsing (although on 4.3" screen, it's pleasant to browse), Music Player, and all the things other phones also have.

HD2 is a satisfying device to spend your time on the go.

But it's nothing other phones can't do.
[HD2 General] efjay:
Definitely love mine, had a brilliant email, navigating, talking weekend and it didnt blink, Just need T-Mo to update to 6.5.3 and fix the radio issues and it will be perfect for me.
[HD2 General] addicus:
My wife has one also and her phone freezes while mine doesn't. The only real difference is I use SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 and she uses the standard Sense interface. I think the messaging in the Sense has issues with the OS.
[HD2 General] addicus:
Yep. Nice to see others in our area actually getting the phone!
[HD2 General] addicus:
I personally don't want 6.5.3 because it has the start button on the bottom and that would eliminate me from using QuickMenu as my taskmanager/program closer. Sad huh?
[HD2 General] spencer911:
This phone is so awesome to have. I have been roaming around xda-devs for years tweaking, modding, flashing but this thing I have to say is very stable. I have not flashed roms ever since I got it. So far i'm loving the way it handles things and haven't have any freezing unlike what other peoples says. Anyways I couldn't promise I will not be flashing roms coz they're tempting, lol. Cheers..
[HD2 General] samthu:
Quite a phone

I really love this phone, i have had a lot of wm phones but this tops it all. i use it as am mp3 camera browsing .... and so much more. I used to flash all my other phones but i think i will keep the stock rom since i havent had an problems with it.
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
I'm running Energy ROM on my HD.

Flashed almost every ROM that's compatible with TMOUS, and I think I'm pretty much settled on Energy for now. Problem with the most is the SMS lag. When you get more than 50 messages in one thread, it takes a while to load the conversation you highlighted on the messaging tab. I hated it, since I had to delete them almost every day, since I text a lot.

Energy ROM uses different looking SMS and MMS tab, which eliminated most of my annoyance.

Kudos, Energy ROM
[HD2 General] lukelasmf:
I have to agree with addicus. I've had my HD2 for a over a month now and have had absolutely NO issues (knock on wood) and I'm a HEAVY user. I keep reading these horror stories involving random freezing, SMS issues, reception problems, etc. To date these issues aren't affecting me (knock on wood again). I'm running the stock ROM because it works flawlessly for me. I've installed several apps/mods and am completely satisfied.

I haven't touched my iPhone since buying the HD2. My iPhone contract ends in June and I will not be extending it. Will this be my last phone? absolutely not. I'm definately an early adopter and have to have the latest gadgets. Until then, I LOVE MY HD2!!
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
It's the screen size and brilliant colors and picture quality and capacitive touch that get me... It's not much different than any other Winmo phone besides that. I also like the Sense UI.

I'm stoked on this phone and if you are afraid to do a hard resets, ROM Flashes, tweaking WinMo, etc, I don't understand what you are doing on this site complaining anyhow... Just buy an Iphone and keep your opinions to yourself... ;)

There is nothing worse about this phone than any other phone if you know what you are doing. Only good things...
[HD2 General] dailydriver:
Yeah, I love mine too much. I'm spending too much time on it. I think it's a bad thing.

Me and the wife's phone hasn't froze on us yet. We are on stock rom, using Sense UI.

I made a whole DVD of a graduation documentary with just the phone's camera alone. It turned out pretty good. Of course I edited on a PC though.

This phone will last me a while, at least till HD3 comes out.

Also, swype is screwing my typing skills up. The other day I went to use my Desktop and I was swyping on my keyboard. LOL...:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truck2:
I'm running CM 5.0.7-test1 and when I set up an exchange email, it doesn't download/show the actual contents of the email. It notifies me when I get new messages and shows the sender and subject, but the area where the actual message should be is blank. I tested out an IMAP account and it worked fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rustafar:
Should I be worried about the red led if phone is working correctly ??.

the red led will dim out sometimes.

Oh yeah, the green light still flashes in the background.

Any suggestions.

[Touch Pro CDMA] servicefailed:
I updated the energy rom everything went well until the startup screen it just says " please wait, phone starting up" but it keeps going blank then back to the same screen it's been an hour and nothing
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Did you install an NRG rom for the Herman (TP CDMA)? Cause, if you didn't then you just flashed a rom for another device on your TP. Simply grab another rom from this forum and flash it (either Vetvitto or NFSFan's to be on the safe side).

[HD2 General] ekerbuddyeker:
I have had this issue a couple of times with new ROMS. All installs fine, but when I soft reset, or take the battery out and put it in, it get stuck on the HTC screen.

Any one else had this issue / know what to do?
[HD2 General] ekerbuddyeker:
it was the radio. i installed a newer radio and the problem ceased
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ankycsj:
I like the taskbar very much, but just found the SUN-Y 1.0 Taskbar.cab , I think the 1.2 is more beautiful, can anyone share me with it, thank you very much.
[HD2 General] veritas17:
I'm wanting a phone that's got the power (if not more) than the HD2 had but using the Android OS. I've had two of these phones so far and the mms issue is really, really annoying amongst other things people have already mentioned but I'm not going to do that.

Aesthetically speaking the phone was phenomenal as well as its hardware, software wise it just felt on its face for me.

Anyhow any suggestions for things that are coming out that a tmobile USA customer could use I would appreciate it or something that's sort of identical to the HD2 just in android form.
[HD2 General] Sp4wn666:
Closest non HTC I have seen running Android hardware wise, is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

Same Snapdragon 1ghz and similar ram setup. Also very sleek and similar design.

I have one of them too, tbh I do prefer the HD2. winmo 6 isnt as bad as previous versions and the HD2 comes with sense. With a few tweaks its doing far more than my X10.

Anyhow, not sure if its available in the US, but I cant see why not.

Hope this helps,

Sp4wn
[HD2 General] tbonezx11:
uh the evo on sprint ius nearly identical hardware with android...how are you on xda and don't know this?
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Evo 4G is pretty much identical to the HD2 and it runs Android with sense(has 8mp camera in the back, front facing camera, and hdmi mini out). It's coming out this summer (June i think), but it's for sprint so you'd have to change carriers.

At this time, you're not going to find anything more powerful than HD2, since all it's components are max of what's out there atm.
[HD2 General] veritas17:
I don't make it a habit of frequenting all the other boards all the time and I'm with tmobile USA so I get even more limited with what phones they have to offer and I'm not a huge fan of spending 500+ for a phone if I can help it..

As for the evo, thank you very much - that sounds like something I would be completely interested in going for.

If the Hd2 ends up getting some updates that make sense stop crashing I'd be all over it.
[General Accessories] randyrubb:
Hello looking for a solution as follow

Existing are some Speakers etc. for exclusively Iphone/Ipod with a female plug for Apple. I want use those devices with a HTC, etc who only have a USB Port. The devices has no AUX input.

Where can I find an adapter-cable FEMALE IPOD/IPHONE to FEMALE USB

or Female IPOD/IPHONE with a bluetooth receiver, so i could play music via Bluetooth on those Iphone devices.

Thanks
[General Accessories] :
have you ever tried to good ol' cut the cord and tape them back together trick?
[General Accessories] randyrubb:
not yet

guess have not enough Duct Tape ;)

But honestly I thought about that getting me the plugs and soldering me a cable. But wonder the USB have 5 Pins and need some research how to get most out of this 5 contacts vs. to 30. Assume there are some bridges etc. helpfull/necessary.
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
I have and igo with the microusb tip and my DI is headed home soon. I was checking stuff out at the store and I got a long lecture about how power ratings can be different. Clearly verizon sales reps are better than electrical engineers. Anyways so the power ratings on the igo happen to be 4-5w, does anyone know what the ratings on the DI stock charger.

Even better if anyones charged their DI using Igo, how is that working out?

My fuze used to run a little hotter than usual on the igo.
[Droid Incredible General] fenningenarius:
The HTC charger that comes with the phone is just a little stub that plugs into the wall with a female usb connector on it to accept the micro usb cable that ships with the phone.

It outputs 5v at 1 amp.

Here's a photo of the charger:

(the part that's obscured by the flash says 50-60Hz)

I have an iGo charger as well and was planning to order a tip for this phone. Is it the A97 tip? The iGo site doesn't have the Incredible in their system yet.
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
very nice picture, thanks for the detail. the igo is rated at 5 watts so its perfect for this. and yes i think a97 is micro usb, however there are many micro usb tips and all of them work. easiest way to make sure is just carry your phone when u go get the tip. unfortunately i have left my tip in the car so i cant say for 100% but the packaging reads A138 which is another microusb. on monday i get my phone so i can hook it to the car and verify.
[Droid Incredible General] fenningenarius:
Has the A138 been working for you? I ended up getting a few A46 tips instead of the micro USB tips because my local Radioshack had them on clearance for about $2.50 a piece. The micro USB tips were $10.

The A46 is a female USB-A connector so it will work for pretty much anything that uses USB, provided you have the proper USB cable to connect it. I got a few 1.5' micro USB cables from monoprice for that part of it.

I haven't used these enough to notice if it's charging significantly faster/slower than the stock charger, but it seems to work fine. I wish iGo would publish the specs for all the tips (amps, volts, etc) instead of just listing compatible devices.

[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
Hey Guys,

So I've been absolutely loving my htc incredible thus far. However, just recently I wanted to have my phone only vibrate for SMS notifications when I realized it wasn't vibrating at all.

I've been through all the settings of Messaging > Settings > check vibrate and such. Also going to sounds and display > only to find nothing really for vibrate and nothing helped in there. I also have tried turning down to vibrate only and ALSO selecting vibrate mode from holding the power button. BUT NOTHING IS WORKING! I've searched on google and through here and haven't found anything but some fixes for the moto droid with third party apps. I'm thinking this is an android bug.

Any takers? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
I FOUND THE FIX.

It requires the third party app HOWEVER you don't need to keep it.

Go to the market and download an app called "Sound Manager" by Daniel Roozen.

Once downloaded, launch the app, press menu, go to vibrate settings and there should be two options.

BOTH should be onto vibrate whenever possible. The bottom one was set to don't vibrate and was most likely set by another app I had previously downloaded.

My phone now vibrates when it should be.

[Droid Incredible General] derik123derik123:
Thank you so much man. That worked!

You're welcome! I think it's a bug via the software. Please spread the fix! It's helped a lot of people over at android central.

Ok, I have a stock TMOUS HD2. Whenever I download any cab file from near anywhere with whatever opera that came with my hd2 (9 i think) it fails the install. Yet, whenever I do internet explorer, or Omarket, etc, it works fine. Is there any way to go about fixing this?
