[HD2 General] DikoMike:
well as far as my first ever post on xda goes...

just got my nifty leo 5 days ago, already been on this forum up and down like mad (i mean from 0), and as a newbie, who didn't even had a clue about xda existence 6 days ago... this device is not dead and will not die any time soon.

I did extensive research about official/non-official support for gadgets as i wanted the best out there possible, with the widest options possible. and there it is, the hd2. and as far as WM goes, even with is problems, i dare say that i've not seen (i'm not stating that it not exists, i just didn't see) better and wider support (off/non-off, who cares!) for any OS out there. xda is the best thing for that and i think it will keep the supported HTC devices and especially hd2 alive for many years despite this "kill the market, make them minions, sheep will follow, we will tell them what's best for them " policy that manufacturers and OS providers trend to lean to.

No. Leo is not dead. Neither WM. They will go live with Elvis and MJ... witch are also both alive and well (j/k).

sorry guys but it is a waist of time

[HD2 General] chris2busy:
You are right edward..and i am sorry for that.Its just that yesterday i have been reading around here and saw many posts and statements that actually made me sad (no support for official releases for something as simple as 6.5.X version that cooks here have been offering since god knows when-at least for 1 month now that i have the hd2/joined the forum). and thats it , i felt a little abandoned thats all. probably because HTC is making this so obvious lol , i cant really understand how their marketing system works .

anyways , as i said the phone is truly very amazing, hell i had the plastic sticker on the screen for a week, so i do not make the scren dirty :P..

anyways..this thread has nothing to offer just a tiny (mental ?) breakdown of mine here.will continue to love my phone even with its issues big or small.

If any mod is watching this , you can shut this thread down plz :P i do not want it to have the same effect others had on me yesterday :)

P.S : thanks for keeping me in the light dear co-members :)
[HD2 General] umiss:
Chris. I totally agree with you!

If one pays the huge amount of money (and it's no excuse that "other smartphones cost as much") we should be taken care of as customers. That's how companies should roll. What we learned from this is that HTC aren't all that reliable.

Having said that, the phone still owns. And it is indeed all thanks to XDA.

Without XDA I'd definately sent the phone back. HTC can't even solve simple bugs as the messaging. 50 sms' and you have a 1ghz phone lagging its ass off. That is probably not something you'd be seeing on an iPhone.

HTC are indeed making alot of money out of us. They did provide us with a potentially good phone, but many people here at XDA already knew that HTC wouldn't give a rats ass after a couple of months and proceed selling newer models to get more money. For us that didn't know, we do know and we'll think twice before buying something from HTC (only because companies shouldn't abandon their customers in this way, not because they made a bad phone, I'd give my left arm for my HD2!).

Hope you enjoy your phone and a BIG thanks to XDA for making this phone usable!
[HD2 General] DikoMike:
almost one year since... time prooved that HD2 is far from dead and has one of the brightest furures ahead :)

no more fears, no more worries.

[HD2 General] Decoid:
I can sign the bad costumer service.. When my screen stopped working last summer, I sent it to the repair center and it took god damn 2 months for them to change my screen... And they didn't even give me a message before I began to investigate why it was taking so long.... Freaking HTC, now they denied to repair my digitizer.. WHat a bunch of monkeys... Anyway, I sent my phone for a repair and it might be the last repair the phone's going to see...

I'm having these split-thoughts aswell...
[HD2 General] ptrics:
i bought my phone for $ 600 plus i send it to unlock to Mexico, other 40 dlls, but i think its the best money paid for anything.

HD2 Leo its a great, versatil, phone, i have what a paid for.

Versaril: Im using Android in SD and Custom Rom on Nand, but can change to WP7 when ever i wanto, or Android in NAND, even Other custom OS's...

Support: I HAVE XDA MEMBERS.... so to hell with htc support....

Thanks guys in XDA.... love it
[EVO 4G General] XAnimal:
I haven't seen anything one way or another but does anyone know if the Evo will support divx I know HTC has it planned for the desire and Samsung already had it on the galaxy s n the moment. It just makes sense with the hdmi out
[EVO 4G General] |Jason8|:
It would definitely make sense considering everything. We'll have to wait and see. :)
[EVO 4G General] VoXHTC:
The H.264 video codec and mp4 format provides superior video quality, especially on the screen that the Evo uses.

Apple has done 1 thing in their existence that is actually useful.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
If it wasn't for Apple, I don't think Android would be the way it is now.

There is a lot to thank the competition for.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
sure it does better quality, but I really don't want to have to encode all my files from mkv to mp4 just to put them on my phone, i'd rather just play em straight
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
I don't know about you, but I don't want to copy 15GB movies to my phone. Conversion is really the only way to go.
[EVO 4G General] MetroKnight:
or just stream them to the device. I'm just not up to date with HD streaming, but normal video streams well.
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
you'd need nearly a 20mbit connection for that. 15GB/120min/60sec*8
[EVO 4G General] mrniceguy715:
divx plays okay on evo using xyzflash player but looks better and played smoother when I converted to h.264
[EVO 4G General] afazel:
Does DoubleTwist automatically convert stuff for you?
[EVO 4G General] watzone69:
I noticed (in another thread) you saying you got to play with one. Do you still have access to it?

Slightly off topic, but would you consider recording some video on the Evo camcorder and posting it so we can check it out?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Pay modoco €10 and you can cook up a desire rom with standard contacts list. IIRC it even lets you have both.

Hi everyone,

I just need help with my HTC dream. Here's the situation:

I bought an HTC dream from Canada (Rogers locked). Now I bring the phone back to Hong Kong using service provider PCCW. I rooted the phone and also did a sim-unlock. However, when I was in Canada, I was able to use 3g speed but now when I am back in Hong Kong, I can only get 2g speed. Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edomaa:
That's probably because the frequencies they use over there are different. If that's the case then there's really nothing you can do... except get a model that's for use in that region.

right :D .. hd2 have one of the best gps receiver... igo8 for me is working faster than my ex-tomtom 520.. i think kpyhere needs to change his sys.txt and delete the content of the save folder ... do a search, under the thread of apps will find some good sys

PS - i never used QuickGPS, not even after a flash of a new rom
[HD2 General] kpyhere:
I got outside, staid there for a couple of cigarettes, but the gps was not locking to the satelites.

Tried GPS test. This doesn't want to work either... :(
[HD2 General] avasman:
Maybe a Fix for GPS not finding Satelites

I had the same problem, I tried all the suggestions in this thread and even from the entire forum.

I finally decided to turn AGPS off and amazingly, IGO8 and TOMTOM now find Satelites within 10 seconds. My thinking about this, is that AGPS is trying to find a lock using Cell towers first and this is causing the delay.

Anyway, my two cents worth and maybe it will help.
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
I'm just using the stock ROM on TMOUSA, but I get a lock on a cold start in about 10 seconds. It is so much better than the Touch Pro 1 or 2.
[HD2 General] digitalhater:
where do you turn off the AGPS? Thanks a lot!

I allready have A-GPS turned off...

So, no solution to this.

Still waiting for ideas.
[HD2 General] avasman:
If you go to Settings, then to Location, it should be there or you could use the tweaks program in the previous post.
[HD2 General] avasman:
Update

I have just arrived in New Zealand (Auckland), started up iGO8 and within 10 seconds I have a lock on 5 satelites. Still have AGPS turned off.

When I get back home (Melbourne), I will turn on AGPS and report back how long it takes to find lock.
[HD2 General] digitalhater:
I have no AGPS setting in Location from Settings.

Can it be found elsewhere without using a tweaking program?

Thanks
[HD2 General] kpyhere:
I've found this app over here and tried the gps again. Seems that this one senses some movement over the GPS. I am trying to follow the tutorial but i get this error. What should i do ?
[HD2 General] avasman:
I am now back home, turned on AGPS and iGO8 and all my other GPS related apps do not get any satellite locks, I left iGO8 running for 30 minutes and still no locks.

I turned off AGPS and iGO8 found them within 10 seconds.

For me this is working. It maybe worth a try.
[HD2 General] kpyhere:
Still having problems with the gps...

Seems that i can;t get it working :(

I had similar problem with Asus A696. One day, it saw satellites (red bars in iGo or proper GPS receiver on in GPSTest), but without positioning.

It was dead amplifier (unfortunately) so if nothing else will help, I'd send it to HTC back...

Hi,

I contacted HTC recently regarding the Audio Booster issues and here is what they had to say.

Me: Hi, There have been continual complaints on forums regarding the Audio Booster on the HD2 and its inablilty to remain active. I get the feeling that everyone complaining feels that this solution provides the best sound output, but find it very frustrating when it turns off constantly. Are there any plans to address this issue? I have been advised that various non-official iterations of your ROMs have addressed this, so why hasnt it been done officially and 6 months after release? Please advise. Thanks.

HTC: Good morning (my name), Thank you for contacting us it is truly appreciated. In regards to your problem, we can certainly help you with that. We have noted your comments and suggestions. We understand the points that you have made and we are putting these forward to our development and update team. Please keep an eye on our website for any future updates or changes to this in the near future. Please note that we cannot confirm as of yet if we will go ahead with your ideas or not. Thank you We trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if and when required as a matter of urgency. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Mat B. HTC

Me: Hi, thanks for your response. Although it appears to me that my enquiry has not been treated as a known software issue, but more as an enhancement request. This should not be the case. It is a bug, that is as frustrating as former SMS issues, but has yet to be resolved.

Thanks.

What do you all think?

Ok so I've had my hero for a while and I saw all these things about rooting and flashing roms so I decided I'd do it. I used unlockr's amazing videos to root and flash RA heroc 1.2.3. I think this is an old recovery but i'm not sure. I want to flash back to stock and unroot it. I have seen some stuff about RUU(whatever that is) but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. From what I've read around here there are alot of smart people working on this and I'm sure someone knows how to do it.

I understand what you're saying but it's pretty hard to brick these phones. If you flashed a GSM radio yeah. I've read about some crazy issues but the devs and community always work it out. Pretty much though just follow the guides and you're golden.

When you flashed damagecontrop did you wipe data and dalvik. With most Roms you need to wipe these otherwise you will be stuck in a hour loop.

If you are worried about anything, just leave your phone as is and wait till the 2.1 release and use that ruu.
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
Its not advertised, however I've had phones in the past with the functionality even though its not advertised, kind of treated as a standard feature.

Before I shelled out for the X10, I read quite a few reviews and spec sheets on it and was very impressed by the offering. One site I normally used before buying a phone is GSM Arena as they seem to be very good and realistic.

Anyways point in hand, they all said, under multimedia that Video Out was present on the phone.

This doesn't seem to be the case at all! I've tried 3 3.5mm video out cables, all which I know work with othet devices but nothing but audio.

Anyone else has any success with it, or have any insight to whether it'll come or not?

I appreciate I have already posted a similar question in the accessories area, however it doesn't get enough traffic for any decent answers to come from it. Cheers guys!

[Desire Themes and Apps] Andyokane:
with the rise in rooting and flashing to android devices to latest rom releases, I thought how handy would it be to have a program on my computer to arrange my apps/widgets without touching the device.

This would be great with a fresh device to get up and running, just how you like things.

Maybe even be able to save a layout or install apps from within the software?

a bit like itunes' application management where you can see all the pages and move,install or rearrange apps to your aesthetic pleasure.

Could such a program be created or is it too difficult?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Andyokane:
not a good idea then?
