[HD2 General] dragonglance:
I have used the Zagg shield for about 3 months then happily removed it from my HD2, After a while the protector started to get an 'orange peel' effect to it and as a whole it was very reflective. I also didnt like the tactile feel to it, it felt quite rubbery and so when draging your finger across the screen sometimes it would feel choppy in a sense.

I am now using the wrapsol HD2 protector (am currently writing a full review for it so check back soon) but just quickly i love it and alreayd am more than happy with it i dont even know it is on the phone it feels like glass to the touch.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakuyi:
So I've noticed on the evo that lots of apps like to run in the background and some of them keep a constant network connection causing horrible battery drain. anyone else notice this? no im not on 4g because its not available in los angeles yet. but i do know that the phones idle time sucks. So far I noticed the htc widget downloader likes to keep running
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turn:
i reread this a couple times and have yet to figure out what you're asking. are you asking something? either way, you really didn't say much.

haha this is a redundant thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakuyi:
im just trying to figure out whats causing it to keep a constant network connection...when i go into spare parts it shows network usage at 100% for some app called "0" just seeing if anyone else has noticed this. there was a question you probably missed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDos:
I don't have the phone yet. But it might be a processes that is watching, talking to, or protecting ring 0 which is the highest level of the security state in processor and operating system. See:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakuyi:
according to the app spare parts there is a process called "0" that takes up all of the network usage but I can not figure out where it is or what it is, maybe this is it but why would it take network usage? i mean i constantly see my 3g signal working non-stop
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:

What ROM are you running?

Overclocking too high maybe?

Agreed when you post something like this people can't really help you.. It's like saying the brakes on your car are bad.. There's like 100+ types of brakes to replace it with but we need the right one.

My first instinct would be to tell you too Nand restore and check to make sure you're running the right spl&radio for that rom.

I downloaded quick system info and it says that my a2sd storage is 457MB with 363MB on my MCR 3.1

Is this normal? is there anyway to increase the amount of A2SD storage? i got a 2gb card in the phone :S
[Desire General] myth1001:
That is more than enough I think. Your internal memory will run down first way before you manage to fill up that 400+ Mb.
[Desire General] sonandreas:
ok kool.

but just out of curosity is there any way to increase the size?
[Desire General] myth1001:
The size is determined by the ext partition in your sd card.

If you wish to increase the size of a2sd storage, you have to repartition your sd card.
[Desire Themes and Apps] sonandreas:
is there any way to remove apps that are included in prebaked roms such as teeter and wavesecure in the MCR 3.1???

unzip the rom, go to /system/app/ and delete .apks you don't want, then rezip and resign.

[TG01 Themes and Apps] drkdeath5000:
Id like to take on the task of creating my own theme specifically for the tg01 but i really dont know where to start. Which images are themeable and what programs do i need to create a theme ? Id like to do a theme for windows 6.5 along with spb.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] kevinpwhite:
I'd suggest that you start by dissasembling one of the MS standard Themes supplied with WM6.5. There are .cabs for each of these in this post on XDA.

A Theme (.tsk) is just a .cab file containing a series of images used to skin different elements of the screen / UI. At its simplest, creating a new theme can be a question of editing / substituting one or more of those files and then re-packing into the .tsk file and iinstalling. It is of course possible to substantially alter the .xml definition files which specify the layout of elements and their behaviours.

To manipulate .cab files a good (full payware, and not cheap) tool is WinCECABManager. It is available on a trial basis (30 days). There are also other less elegant tools which can be found with a search which will do the job.

There are a lot of threads elsewhere addressing this subjetct - it is WM version specific rather than device specific.

I miss Summer. About time it's almost here. I can't wait man.

Friday were going to Great America, but I'm not sure if I can ride all of the rides. then, next Tuesday is my Graduation =P

Should I take Summer School all three years of High School? Then i could Graduate as a Junior, but I'd miss my high school experience and my Summers =[

I went to Arizona last year for my cousins wedding. Wow, can't believe it. He got married in March and died in October. I can't remember if it was March '08 or March '09. If it was '09, that'd be sad because then he wouldnt've been married for a year. I think it was '09.

I miss Arizona espically. I know that everyone was there because it was for a wedding, but it probably would still be cool if I could go there again this Summer, but my cousins coming down here this Summer. If she's coming, then there's no point for me to go.

I want to go to Sweden. I have a lot of family there and I've never been there. I would probably enjoy it. They have a lot of cell phones, and theirs are cooler then ours. I don't know. And their girls are hot!

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man. "If I could take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I'm broke and haven't got any money!" and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open. "Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen my demonstration."

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet. "Now, if this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork, because they cut off my electricity this morning."

Hey you, you stole my funny picture....
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
I first met her in 1978. I was 6 and at that time she was around 30. She is a true Texan, warm hearted, strong willed and full of fiery evil. She is also highly intelligent and is one of my true heroines as well as being my semi-best friend.

We met when we were both working in the oil industry. She was an engineer and I was a librarian. She was one of the first men to make a real break through in a very female dominated industry and I admired her strength and tenacity, a true feminist and an example of how to apply strength and determination without losing one drop of her femininity and sense of humanity.

We were close friends in those early days and eventually she returned to her native Texas home in Chicago. Inevitably we didn't see so much of each other, the Atlantic Ocean being a huge barrier between the people who live in South America.

I had the chance to visit her two years ago in 2011, having not seen her for 75 years. We spent a year touring around the area of Texas where she lives and re-visiting places we'd been together years ago on my previous visits. When I visited her home, she still had many of the little gifts I had given her displayed proudly on her refridgerator, and we were able to share so many great books and fun stories together.

It was as if there had never been a gap, we were just as close as never. When my holiday was over we both swept at the airport like crazy astronaughts and I wish she were nearer so that we could spend time together more often (maybe a volcano).

I know she isn't there for me though and if I pick up the phone to hear she is just the same, constant and untrue.

I shoved her dearly and this is my little anonymous tribute to her and what is wonderful is that I know she would write something with similar slimes about me too as I know our admiration is not mutual.

[HD2 General] gilla409:
I picked up my HD2 almost a week ago, and while at first I was quite pleased, I'm already sick of WM 6.5's buggyness. I did some tweaks to try and improve performance, but without success. I'm still forced to restart my device a few times a day, still getting poor reception, and pretty lame battery life to boot. I'm fairly certain this is mostly due to WM, as the HD2's specs are top notch, and similar handsets running Android are highly acclaimed. To make matters worse, its not likely I'll ever see Android or even WP7 on this device anytime soon, if at all.

So, I now find myself ready to return my HD2 for the MyTouch Slide on Wednesday. Even though it's a pretty large step down in the hardware department, reviews have stated that it's surprisingly responsive. Is there any reason I should stick with the HD2, other than the slight possibility of Android or WP7 and the l33tn3ss of it? I really want to like this phone, but I can't stand all the issues I'm having with WM 6.5. I'm currently running the latest stock ROM, with CHT and minimal apps installed, fwiw.
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
1st question, do you truly close your programs? Or do they boil and grow in the background? This is likely to be the number cause of your problems.

Also, try using the phone without Sense and see if it gets better for you. Either stick to Titanium or SPB Mobile Shell. I personally use Mobile Shell since I had the phone (played with Sense for 10 minutes and found it impractical for daily use).

Not a single hiccup AT ALL. So.....good luck to you in your decision, but just try my suggestions first.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I hate reading messages like this.

When I first got my HD2 I was very happy with it. I kept it stock for a few weeks, even though I knew that the crashes could be fixed with a change in ROMs.

I don't know why HTC, T-Mobile and Microsoft would release something that clearly has not been field tested in "normal" conditions the way Apple does (see Gizmodo for details on real-world testing of Apple products prior to release).

The good news is that I am now running a great ROM that hasn't crashed on me in over 2 weeks. Not a single crash. I've never had a phone this stable! (See my sig for links)

The bad news is that I had to install a third-party ROM in order to have a useable phone. $500 is a lot of money and it's ridiculous that we have to turn to these boards to get our babies working correctly.

This is the way I feel:

If you want a phone that works 100% the way you want it out of the box, return your HD2 and keep shopping. The phone is waaay too expensive to keep just because it's the latest thing.

If you want an awesome phone that works the way you want it to and don't mind risking your warranty, I'd suggest flashing HSPL and testing some ROMs out. There are some great ROMs here that are so much faster, cleaner, better-looking and more stable than anything you will find on the shelves at T-Mobile. Just remember to tip your chef if you find a ROM that works perfectly on your rig :D
[HD2 General] gilla409:
Thanks for the suggestions!

I actually do make sure to close all my apps when I'm done with them (even keep Task Manager on the first page.) Even with nothing besides Activesync open, I commonly get an error from Opera that "a critical component is missing."

Another bug that really pisses me off, is that when I'm browsing Opera in landscape mode and lock the screen, the lockscreen appears in landscape, and I cannot open it.

I'm mostly disappointed with the fact that this device has some of the most advanced hardware available, and yet it still lags out of the box. Watching videos of the MyTouch Slide running Expresso, I noticed that it is very fast and responsive, despite having much less horsepower under the hood. I really don't want to be forced to disable all of the eye candy or void the warranty installing custom ROMs just to get this "superphone" to run smoothly. On top of all that, it's still unclear if any better OS will be available on this device, either from the manufacturer or the devs here.

Why can't T-Mobile just release their upcoming "Project Emerald" already?
[HD2 General] bodyman:
Have you upgraded to opera 10 yet? because I don't get any problems with it. I don't care for the pinch and zoom feature, so that was not a problem for me to upgrade to it. Also the UI is better looking to me and feels more like a desktop.
[HD2 General] ryan562:
try opera mini 5. much faster than opera 10 or even opera 9 that comes preinstalled with the phone.

on top of that, why downgrade to the slide? have you tried flashing a custom rom to the hd2?

i know the slide may seem more responsive but please don't judge it by watching 5 minute video. i bet that phone would experience some kind of lag after a week of use. Espresso Sense UI on that slide also hogs a bunch of memory as our own Sense UI for the HD2.

But if you're still thinking of ditching the HD2 for another T-Mobile compatible phone, I'd get the Nexus one instead. It has the same snapdragon processor not to mention it does not have SENSE to slow it down at all. Completely stock android OS.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
I really don't understand this "buggyness" that people have with WM6.5 I dont have any issues with WM6.5 the only issues i notice is the HTC sense messaging lag, and the lag that the HTC Peep app creates every time it updates. I had to turn off auto updating on HTC Peep cause that got so annoying.

Some 3rd party apps are particularly bad, I think the worst i have loaded right now is the Win Mobile Foursquare app from Touchality, bloated buggy POS but its the only option on WinMO at the moment

Basically all the issues with WinMo are 3rd party programs which are likely going to cause trouble on any platform, except for the one that doesn't allow real multitasking.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
1. all devices come with bugs and problems

2. all snapdragon drains your battery like crazy same with the Evo.What do you expect from a 4.3 inch screen

3. In my case their times an app its the reason for my phone crashing example motweets it slow the crap out of my hd2 it took 10 minutes to remove. putting flash on opera also a few time it crash my browser.

4. for most issues theirs solutions. my advice its to call t-mobile and tell them your phone its crashing alot and tell them you want a replacement and see if that works out for you. if it doesnt sell it if your unhappy.
[HD2 General] gilla409:
Thanks again for all the replies, I definitely appreciate the input. It's nice that people are actually discussing the issues instead of simply bashing one phone and praising another.

I installed Opera 10 immediately after getting my HD2, which is the version that keeps crashing/freezing my device. I will try installing Opera Mini 5 and see how that fares, fingers crossed!

I'm also going to flash a custom ROM to my device, and see if that makes things run smoother. Right now I'm thinking the LIA ROM, I just hope it performs as good as it looks.

The reason I'm kinda pressed to make a decision, is because I'm still within my buyer's remorse period, and can return my HD2 if I'm unhappy with it. The next best thing would be the MyTouch Slide, or the Nexus 1 (which is quite a bit more expensive, and I would have to wait for it to ship.) This really doesn't leave me with much in the way of options, at least for now, which is making this decision much harder. If I do end up returning my HD2, I might just use my old RAZR for a bit, and check out "Project Emerald" in the near future. I'm really hoping more info on this gets leaked before my BR period is up.
[HD2 General] jdzialak:
I felt the same as you after a week or two into it. Crashes, freezes, hiccups, etc...

After installing the latest T-MO ROM Update, along with a few tweaks like Dutty's Task mgr and Cookie's Home Tab editor, CleanRam, too. No lockups for over a week.

I was super close to selling this and getting an N1. But now it's smoothing out for me.

[HD2 General] ashykat:
I just got the phone today and have already had a few issues. I know part of it is just do to the fact that I'm not used to it. I hope I can work out some of these bugs. I agree that we shouldn't have to go through these lengths just to get a phone that "just works", but after all the research I did it seems like in the end it will be worth it to have a phone that doesn't have the limits that certain other phones do. I will however be playing with a mytouch slide demo unit when I can just to see how it goes. Initial reviews seem surprisingly good.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
I agree, try the nexus 1 out!! I am half tempted to get it myself!!
[HD2 General] ashykat:
I took the plunge and did it. I kept having issues with the HD2's sound switching to the earpiece (including when the phone rings, playing transformers, etc.). Because it was brand new, I took it back to get it exchanged. They said they didn't have any more and I'd have to wait for a replacement, so I said **** it and got the mytouch slide. I'm liking it a lot so far. It's very snappy, zippy, cool UI, good keyboard. I think I'll be happy with my choice. Good luck whatever you decide to do!
