[HD2 General] zim2323:
I have searched everywhere, but I know this has to have been listed before.

I have about 4gb of music I'm syncing from my PC, but when I pull up music on phone (no playlist) I see all the music on my device AND the music I synced.

I want to ONLY see the music I add. For photos, there was a reg key I added to set which folders were ignored. Is there a way to do that for music as well?
[HD2 General] cirolenoir:
Ur Own Music

zim 2323 - this drove me cRaZy for a couple of weeks until I downloaded OMarket and got "Nitrogen".

I can click and drag my music from my PC instead of having to sync (if you have already d/l double twist - get rid of it - more pain than it's worth) and the system music files are omitted in Nitrogen.
[HD2 General] toreone:
I did the same thing and it ONLY shows the music I added?! I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to do?! I dont have music on the phone and it only pools what I have on my storage card. When i first loaded music it said it was searching for music and it found everthing I added.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Hey Zim :) Yes, I think there's a regedit method for this, but the way I do it is to just figure out which folders I need to exclude and then navigate to them in Total Commander, long-press, and choose "properties"...you can then choose to hide the folder just like in regular windows. For me, it turned out that just hiding the "program files" folder on the SD card was enough, but I'm sure you can handle it if there's more you need to hide.
[HD2 General] zim2323:
Unfortunately I can't hide program files on the sd card because I have to see the folder for software I use/install.

I also do not want to use 3rd party media players. I want to load music and play natively in sense.

When I goto music TAB it finds every MP3 on ROM nad SD memory. I only want to see music located in \storage card\my documents\music.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
No folder that I've hidden this way seems to be invisibile to me or the sys...they still show up in file explorer, and are still directly accessible by apps etc, they just don't get indexed.

My daughters used to come and go with that message, she's on T-Mob.

It never happened on WiFi, only when using T-Mob connection.

Logging into her T-Mob account there was a drop down box to remove 'content restrictions', been fine ever since.
[Desire General] PaulW21781:

Sounds like you need to call them & get them to unlock it for you (usually turn off the Adult filter or something)

[HD2 General] Zuzler:
Hi folks,

in a few months I am able to extend my Vodafone Business contract and get the HD2. Currently I own a Touch Diamond and am finally VERY satisfied (after trying several ROMs for 6 months).

I still have some doubts about the HD2, I hope you can help me here:

1. Scratch-resistance of the display and the case.

I heard that the display itself is made of glass. For my diamond, I have a screen protector and a black Bugatti pouch. No scratches till now. So should I even use a pouch/screen protector, or is there no need for it? I am no big fan of those InvisibleShield solutions.

2. Availability and (especially) quality of custom ROMs.

Vodafone ROMs are made to be backed up (just in case of warranty) and then to be deleted. Any good and fast ROMs out there which basically provide an "upgraded stock experience"?

3. microSD

There is one delivered with the phone, but I could not find the size of the storage.

4. Landscape typing

Is it possible (without any greater hacks) to send SMS in landscape-mode? For the Diamond, I always use the standard portrait mode, but I once typed in landscape on an iPhone (phone itself: yuck, but the typing was great).

Thanks so far, I hope that you can help a potential HD2-owner :D

Regards
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
I use a gel case for the back, leaving the screen exposed and never had problems with scratching; nor worried about it being scratched unlike previous phones ive owned.

I believe it will be a 2GB microSD

Rotate the phone and it will allow typing in SMS screen natively.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
in all honesty since you are "very happy" with your diamond, and still gave a few months to run, I'd wait and see what is around closer to the time. the hd2 is great, but its not a day to day phone, its a tinkeres delight, but as a phone its more like a work in progress. (it auto phoned my boss last friday just because I pulled the earphone jack out, it doesn't mute the fm radio when you get texts so you miss them, reception stability in standby is hit and miss..... )

if you want a great grownups toy, do it, if you want a phone, stock with what you are happy with for now.i
[HD2 General] cd78:
Agree with above!:cool:
[HD2 General] hofo_mofo:
great now you guys are giving me buyers remorse...i have bought one, being shipped to me now...all I plan on doing is putting a stock ROM on there and go from there....:(
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
While this is true, I'm also pretty certain that HTC will not be pumping out anymore Windows Mobile devices of this caliber. Their next HD2-like successor will be running Windows Phone 7 and not Windows Mobile. This is how they'll get people to pick up the newer OS in the future.

So if you like Windows Mobile for Windows Mobile and want to stick with this OS, I think the HD2 will remain in the limelight for quite some time.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
lol, you'll love it, dont worry

very true, the tyraosaurus rex of the 6.x line, hehe
[HD2 General] low-dogg:
i have now had my HD2 since it got released.. and i agree with the above. It's a great toy but not a very stable user experience:) i have tried every single ROM out there and still not exited about this phone:...

i have just ordered the desire wich i find to be a much better phone, but with a smaller screen im afraid:)

when htc evo comes to Europa i will change phone again:)

i have been a long time windows mobile user, but im done with that now.. i have owned almost 30 phones and have even had an iphone 3g. my favorite OS i must say is android... user experience, stability, and productivity wise, android wins in my book..

in some way i hate to say it cause windows mobile has served me good for a lot of years!
[HD2 General] Zuzler:
Well, thanks for all the replies!

I won't buy it right away but will do so in the next 2-3 months.

But then it has to be very reliable for the next two years, since I will be traveling a lot (Europe and USA)

For the time being, I will have a look at other phones as well.
[HD2 General] gigagrunt:
I have the US Tmo version and I am going to return it tomorrow if they still let me (not sure if I am still within the remorse period), I tried really hard to fall in love with winmo again (was an avid Tilt user) but it just doesn't cut it for me anymore :(
[HD2 General] enyaj:
I have a 1.66 WWE Stock ROM and 2.10 radio and I'm not having any problems at all. I don't get why people always say HD2 is unstable. The only problems I'm encountering is what to do next because my HD2 is already running perfectly.
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
I have to agree with some of the things people are saying in this thread. Way too many people are attracted to the Hd2 because of the massive display, only to be disappointed because "it doesn't work" <-- Laughing at iphone users if you know what I mean.

Unless you are ready to handle a WinMo device, don't get the HD2. It requires too much tinkering in order to make it personally "YOURS" - and I'm not talking about personalization via pages upon pages of square iconic apps. *AHEM.

Regarding your questions:

1) I've used a vikuiti screen protector and have absolutely zero regrets. I am super picky when it comes to protecting my HD2 (going thru so many SP) so I hope you understand how much I crown this screen protector. Search my threads. I made a huge review about it.

2) Custom ROMS are always available- All the time. I use CleanEX mainly because gavin is an awesome and very active cook. He does a lot of the background stuff for CleanEX and when he release a ROM, ****, its awesome.

You should try it beta ROM, code named "AWESOMENESS" (all in caps)

3) Im using a 16GB class 6. Nothing but pure pleasure and speed when loading music or documents or games from the SD card. I had a 16Gb class 4. I noticed no difference in terms of speed.

4) typing in general, in sense UI can sometimes be laggy. Like you press an "A" and it does appear until a very split second later. But those laddyness are random. There have been lots of tweaks here and there to improve them. I never bothered, but they exist. I can live with the laggyness but I use SWYPE which has NO laggyness for me at all. =P
[HD2 General] dio62000:
The problems I encountered were due to 3rd party software I installed or registry edits I made. After hard resetting phone and carefully choosing (and listing) the apps I install there are no major bugs to report.

Using only stock ROM so far, didn't find the need to risk a custom ROM yet.
[HD2 General] Zuzler:
That was the most useful post, thanks!

Well, basically it is the same as with the Diamond in the beginning: Requires some time to fiddle out all the settings, but then works like a charm. I have the Diamond for one and a half years now and it works perfectly. I even UC'ed mine to have the old data on it faster after flashing new ROMS.

People who complain that "it does't work" should get an iPhone imho, since everything works out of the box there.

I considered getting a phone with Android or a propietary solution (e.g. Nokia), but there is hardly anything to configure (and my beloved TomTom won't run). Will try getting my hands on the HD2 in the next weeks, to get a real opinion about it.

Thanks again!
[HD2 General] hagba:
Excuse me since I will give my point of view withot reading the entire thread.

I myself had HTC Diamond before I used an Iphone for over 3 years,the experiance between the two phones(Diamond vs HD2)is from sky to earth (I sold back the Diamond after using it for couple of days),if you have the time to customize it a bit,not necessarily ROM changing,Im on stock 1.6xx,I say you can easily fall in love with it,I pretty much can do anything with it, within my interest.Most of the problem comes after installing not so much tested 3rd party applications.

BTW I use it as my daily device and I had no such problems as mentioned in some of the posts above,may be just a new WM user beginners Luck!!
[HD2 General] Zuzler:
hagba, it was the same when the Diamod came out: New apps striving to be tested. Bugs everywhere. Good coders everywhere, too. So the bugs vanished after a few months.

And as I said, I will wait a few months until I get the phone, so I hope the most crucial bugs will be gone until then.

Thanks for sharing your opinion!
[HD2 General] nim:
mines got the 1.66 rom and 2.07 radio direct from HTC......very stable.

I've had many winmo phones (mda compact/m600/kaiser/xperia x1) but the HD2 is the daddy!

Get one and you'll find it does everything your diamond will do......just faster and better!
[HD2 General] hagba:
I dont mean just software-wise but more hardwarewise too,so much differance between resistive and capacitive as well as the size of the screens, however prepare your self for a pleasent surprise if you ever decide to get the HD2,more so that you are familiar with the WM and its modding process.
[HD2 General] Savage-wp:
I have had my HD2 for 4 months now. I use it everyday for business. works flawlessly, and I'm a heavy user. lots of phonecalls, emails etc. use it as a wireless router or bluetooth PAN when I'm away on business. I have never once had the phone crash. I'm still running stock 1.66 ROM. I would definitely recommend this phone.
[HD2 General] Zuzler:
No crash sounds good - oh lord, what have I lost data on the Diamond based on buggy ROMs :)

But I will have to switch ROMs at least away from the stock one, Vodafone always has to have something special there.
[HD2 General] SomethingWicked:
The HD2 is the single most awesome phone in the world. IMHO. I tried an iphone and although the user interface is very smooth and seamless, I missed the customability of winmo. I've never tried an android phone, tho...

But, my HD2 loaded with the latest Dutty 6.5.5 rom, add Co0kie's home screen manila tab mod and LeoCPUSpeed app to safely boost the cpu speed to 1ghz (and overclock too if you like) there is nothing on the market that can touch it. I am sooooo glad I have mine. It's the first device I've had that will play movies flawlessly in stock configuration. And yess, I'm in love with the massive screen. Someone I was showing it off to called it a widescreen tv :D

Using Resco Explorer, the Windows folder loads in about a tenth of a second. No kidding... My wife has an AT&T Pure (Diamond 2) and her Windows folder takes over 5 seconds to load :(

Seriously, the HD2 is the quickest, most fluid device out there. It is THE PHONE that brings winmo to life. Hope you enjoy yours!!!
[HD2 General] ALEXRUSS55:
1) The screen is glass, much harder to scratch, but have in mind that it will crack before it scratches, as long as you dont drop it hard in te wrong edge, it great it really is i love it. But just to be safe i bought the case mate armor, invisible shield 20 bucks amazon, front and back great invisible protection and it brings 2 sets, really good.

2) The best ROM from personal experience for me being closest to stock rom but with the extras like 576 MB ram, is DUTTYS HG rom i am currently running V3 but you can check often for updates at HTCPEDIA.com they always have great Roms.

3) I search the web and the best sd card i could find was the Sandisk 16gb mobile ultra Class 4, The fastest to my knowledge, and of course sandisk has 10 years warranty. Works great best card ive tried.

4) Landscape is posible either automatically with gyrator 2 or manually with AH Rotate 90 degrees you can set it up with a long press of the call key, works well and fast.

As other members have said the HD 2 is an amazing device, but only if you really take advantage of all its features and hack-ability :P

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] dddnnnggg:
I want to prepare a few playlist, and i want to add them to my music tab player of the htc sense. so where should i put the playsit files>????
[HD2 General] *KenShiro*:
hey,

i think i have some informations for you (wrote this to a similar post):

... the playlists (created in manila music tab directly) are stored in this file:

"Device\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol"

You can rename the file (as backup) and SoftReset your HD2. The playlist is deleted too.

!!! Be careful if you delete this file ... your music information and created playlists will be ... gone with the wind :-) !!!

Own playlists can be stored in:

" \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists"

...[*.pls-files / *.wpl or *.asx / i don´t know if *.m3u is possible too]...

They will be "activated" after SoftReset the device.

I hope this will help you. :)

greetings,

KenShiro
[HD2 General] dddnnnggg:
Thanks for the info, unfortunatelly, when i open the playlists they all are shown as empty and they actually are not. I tried with m3u and asx.
[HD2 General] colossus_r:
Same here.

If i create a playlist in manilla its shows and plays OK.

If i transfer a playlist from the pc the show in the list but EMPTY.

What playslist files the manilla reads ????

Anyone on this ???

And if i backup the AudioManager_Eng.vol i have my playlist in tack after flash ????
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
when you create a playlist on your pc it also contains information as to where the music should be played from.. etc. "D:\User\Music\my song.mp3".. and since there are no such folder in your phone, the playlist will not find the song (just as it will not if you move the song after you created the playlist on your computer to another folder, etc. "D:\User\Music\Album\my song.mp3"..)

dont know how to solve it though.

thanx for all your replies . so since the whole cloning thing is illegal on this site lets skip it . say i got the phone to register with straight talk . what about the settings inside the phone . what should they be ? any idea?

thanx
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] travissand:
Well now that ST (ST= Straight Talk) sells sim cards for $15 the answer is yes but no cloning needed. It only works with the $45 unlimited everything plan. Just buy one sim card and put it in the Sprint TP2. Also buy one free ST phone that comes with the $45 refill card. Then go here and follow instructions to sim unlock the TP2. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-...us-touch-pro-2-cid-security-sim-unlocker.html,

Pay around $20 to sim unlock your Touch Pro 2...

Use the $45 refill card to to activate the sim card you paid $15 for and sell the cheep phone you got for free for $20. Do this every month if its worth your time. Depending on the free phone that comes with the $45 card you may get more then $20 for it.

Its better then cloning the phone because this sim card will work in any unlocked phone. Will work with a locked phone if its a T-Mobile or AT&T phone. I see people say it works with the Sprint I phone also.

Only thing is the sim card will not work in a Straight talk phone. I just tryed taking the ST sim card out of my Sprint TP2 and putting it in the free phone they gave me. It said something about putting in an unlock code and gave me 5 tries? It said 911 calls only. The phone did not do this when I put in my JOLT Sim card.

I guess cloning a cheep phone would allow you to use ST"s cheaper money per minute refill cards.

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

Oh one more thing. My internet is very slow. It works but its slower then Sprint EVDO and even slower then Sprint 1X. The Sprint TP2 only supports slow internet speed when using the sim card.

I bet some very educated person could create a flash to fix this but with every one going to the Android and the I phone I doubt this person will take the time to provide us with the flash. Microsoft has committed suicide with there smart phones and I wont be a part of it for much longer.

PS also my MMS is trying to fetch the photo from sprint so I cant send or receive any MMS.. Regular text messaging works.

Im still searching and having trouble finding how to change this setting.
