Ok I got sick of this back and forth. I talked to my wife and decided that no matter how much I love this phone, I am going to return it and get either a Galaxy S or a Droid. Screw HTC and their bull**** stories. If they would have shown an ounce of respect for their users I would have just counted on the XDA developers to come through (which they already have)

Screw you, HTC.

Here is my final response to the retard in support escalation:

"By the way - I would like to let you know that I talked this over with my wife and I have decided I cannot count on HTC to fix the numerous problems with the phone - not just the FPS cap, but also the screen separation and touch screen grounding issues.

I have decided to return my phone. Not *once* has anyone from HTC offered to help me with the other problems my phone has had, and after almost a month of waiting for a replacement I have been unable to secure one. Furthermore, even though your "hardware" limitation HAS ALREADY BEEN SOLVED by the hard working people on the XDA forums you are quick to point out that HTC does not condone us customers trying to get the most out of our phones that we can.

Thank you for helping to solidify my resolve. I am through waiting for the respect and solution that you are unable to provide - I will wait for the Droid X or the Samsung Epic 4G to come out and purchase one of those phones instead - I'm sure they will find a way not to cap the FPS on their phones despite both having HDMI output.

Good luck with your career in construction or plumbing.

Thanks,

Tim"

Hey they make a lot of money..
[EVO 4G General] kluster1999:
Damn, Tim, you let em' have it! Good for you, man. The only way htc is going to improve is when several of their ripped-off customers show them a thing called reality (taking their business elsewhere). Sprint had to learn that lesson the hard way. There is simply just too much competition out there in high-end phones now for any company to blatantly lie to its customers and screw them with delayed releases and crippled hardware.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
I sent my own EECB to those same folks :D

Read it below.
[EVO 4G General] ju5tiiv:
Way to stick to your guns Tim I too sent emails to the listed people of which I got a few bouncebacks from mark_baker and ht_cho already got the usual automated responses from Sprint and HTC will post up my replies to see what kind of "stories" I can get out of them too lol.

sent from my EVO from the dark side
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
I'm really annoyed at them right now..

Another generic response...

Should I call?

It's pretty amazing that they're still going on about the hardware limit..

30 is a pretty convenient number for a hardware limit lol.

They completely ignored the fact that we've already bypassed the limit to some extent..

P.S. Still absolutely no response from HTC
[EVO 4G General] timkdodson:
BRAVO! That was SO well written. I hope it gets their attention.
[EVO 4G General] timkdodson:
To the XDA Community... I have to admit... I went back on my word to return the phone. (Is anyone really surprised after all my flip-flopping?)

Here is the story. I got a call from Radio Shack district office telling me they heard that I was waiting for an EVO and they had shipped one to the place I got my phone from... and that it was waiting for me to exchange it.

I talked it over with my wife... we agreed that:

A) The phone is pretty great, without the screen peeling, sensitivity issues.

B) The XDA community (or HTC) would likely fix the 30FPS issue eventually

My wife has actually taken to the phone, quite a bit.

We understand that the Epic 4G is coming out and I may want that phone, and she wants an EVO... so...

I exchanged my phone today for a Model 0003 hardware EVO. We are going to wait for the EVO 4G to come out and if I really want it, we will buy one of those for me and she will keep my EVO. Otherwise, I will keep the EVO and she may buy one.

I am still pissed about the cap, but she doesn't really care as she doesnt really play games... so if they do not fix it I will end up going with the Epic and give her the EVO.

F it I am sick of arguing with them.

Half the reason is that I am about to leave on a 2 week vacation which involves driving halfway across the country and I wanted the free wifi tethering that comes with a rooted EVO... I couldn't go back to my Blackberry for however long it takes for the Epic to come out.

Anyway...

Hopefully it will all work out and I am more than happy to keep blasting HTC. They keep calling me but I am usually busy at work and what the hell do I want to talk to them for anyway? Obviously the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing and they like to employ retards who probably couldn't make it in the Construction or Plumbing industries, really.
[EVO 4G General] Albaholic:
I don't blame you for not returning the Evo. I was considering returning mine, I had the screen separation issue. Which I fixed on my own using the blow dryer method. I didn't wanna chance getting another unit with more issues.

It sucks that they can't just be straight about the issues. Release the kernel source and let the dev community do its thing. If it wasn't for the amazing backing we have here, the evo would just be another device crippled by it's carrier.

I think it's obvious we can't rely on HTC for anything beyond hardware issues. People should start EECB'ing HTC for the kernel source.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Thanks Tim, I quite liked yours too :D.

Especially the bit about plumbing and construction :p

I'm considering going back on my word and keeping it too..

I've managed to fix the screen sep. issues, so all that's left is a stuck pixel that i'll probably never notice because it is only visible when (attemping to) emit blue.

The last deciding factor for me is the quality of the >30FPS hack..

If it ends up being solid without random reboots and crashes, then i'll stick with the evo.

Otherwise i'll yell at sprint until they exchange for an Epic 4G.
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
I ended up returning mine. I posted a story a few days ago after getting a call from Sprint after emailing dan@sprint where the lady suggested I return the phone and wait it out since they are working with HTC to resolve the issues and the 30 FPS cap.

It was really hard watching my poor Evo get taken away to the back room at RS, knowing I will likely never get a Novatec screen again. :\ Let's hope I made the right decision. My screen separation was getting so bad I was starting to see the LED under the search button. My guess is the screen got worse from walking around with jeans on, working the screen loose. I baby my phone but was not able to keep it from separating. When I first bought it the leakage was barely visible. It does get worse. I would have tried sealing it myself but I also had a faulty headphone jack.

I think it sucks the new Epson screens don't dim progressively like the Nova screens. Oh well.
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
I don't see how the progressive screen dimming is an advantage.
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
No functional benefit at all, just looks cooler IMO. Seems there's always a trade-off no matter what route we take with these Evos.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mozillameister:
I dropped my phone yesterday, and the power button doesn't do anything now. It doesn't seem to move much, either. I popped a little of it out using the stylus, and couldn't find any wires so I don't think there's a solution. The button itself seems fine, but I think it got dislodged a bit from whatever mechanism (spring or latch) that tells it to turn on or w/e. Looks impossible to open up the device. (don't see any screws. looks soldered in)

Anyway, the phone itself works. I resetted it and it'll load up Android fine. I just can't get into Android because you need to press the power button to get out of the standby screen.

Is there any way I could

a) assign a new button in Android (say the center button?)

b) fix the button (or if I brought it to a Sprint store would it cost less than the phone? ($60))

c) get rid of Android and go to Windows without using the power button (power+reset code)

Thanks for the help!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] margosmark:
There are 4 Torx screws (1 under the warranty void sticker) essentially at every corner, so if you get a small enough torx screwdriver you can open it up

Here is a guide albeit in Russian, but the pictures are self explanatory

http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_touch/
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mozillameister:
Is there any way I can reassign the button to the Back button or something? I need a quick fix so I can use the phone now for calling. Its probably built on to the motherboard because there's no wiring from the looks of it. Not sure where to find such a screwdriver, but I'll look into it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mprinkey:
I had a similar problem with my camera (back) button. It was a fairly easy fix. You will need a tiny Torx to get it open. There is a complete teardown thread on this site to help guide it. Once I had the right Torx driver, it took a few minutes. The switches are surface mounted and are held in place with clips. I had to bend the clips back into place and then reflow the solder joints with a soldering iron. I dropped some solder onto the clips to hold them together.

I tried to roll an alternate ROM with different key assignments...the build process is not well documented, IMO. I asked and was basically told to go make friends with a developer.
[EVO 4G General] control_logic:
I did all the steps to root the phone, 1 and 2, but got stuck in a bootloop. The sprint log stuff would come up, the the 4g, then back to sprint etc. I flashed the PC36IMG.zip of the shipped version, but now I can't get the RUU to take the phone into a fully factory state. It starts, then gets stuck waiting for bootloader with a black screen and htc on it. I really just want to make it factory again and start over with the root process. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] jdickerman76:
Hold power and volume when turning on phone, then select fastboot and have the selection for bootloader highlighted, then start the RUU it should work then.
[EVO 4G General] control_logic:
OK, so I tried the volume down + power btn deal, but still no dice. I really don't undestand wtf happened, cause before doing the 2nd part of root, I was able to load Damage ROM, now anything I load besides the PC36IMG.zip from part 1 just bootloops. Crazy
[EVO 4G General] joeykrim:
ive seen this answered in the RUU threads. they mentioned the RUU doesn't automatically reboot the phone into the correct mode, i think it was bootloader? manually booting it into the correct mode, then connecting the USB, resolved the issue.

you might want to search/reference the RUU threads for more details as i never had the issue and am only recalling off the top of my head what ive read, which cant be 100% accurate!
[EVO 4G General] pirarre:
When RUU stops/freezes and your phone has the black screen with "HTC" on it.... do not restart your phone or anything leave it the way it is. What you do is exit out of the RUU program by clicking "exit" when it freezes up. Then without doing anything to the phone, just restart the RUU program and it should pick up where it left off and complete the process. I found this fix in "Q and A" part of the Evo forum and it worked for me.
[EVO 4G General] dragon1022:
You need to format the phone rest and format cashe then install the rooted image and it will boot. I had the same problem.
[EVO 4G General] control_logic:
Thanks for the responses, it is working again, YEAH!
[HD2 General] holdup:
Hi I need some help bad.

I have an HD2 (Stock ROM WWE 1.66, non branded). I've had the phone for about 6 months and when it works it is a dream. A few weeks ago I installed a custom ROM (Dutty's v3.4) for the first time, but decided to go back to the stock ROM due to reconsiderations about the warranty. Yesterday afternoon my phone suddenly stopped working. It had been freezing and running slow a few days before (I did a factory reset after that). The battery had drained really fast in the few hrs before (from 100% to 10%) it stopped working, although I had barely used it. Now the phone is completely unresponsive, and will not power on (I put in a fresh battery but it still wont turn on). Putting it on the charger causes the phone to randomly turn on to the title screen (HTC-Quietly brilliant), but then it turns off and then back on again (this repeats continuously for as long as the phone is on the charger).

I can send the phone back to the retailer (Expansys) as it is within the warranty period, but prefer not to do so because I experienced a similar issue a few months ago, and sent them the phone back. They repaired it, but it took over 2 months because there were various delays and they lost the paperwork (they office is in HK and the UK, I live in Australia) and would rather not have to go thru that again. Note that the last time such a problem occurred, I had not installed any custom ROM (was using WWE 1.66).

Help is appreciated. Don't hesitate to leave a post or PM me if any further info reqd
[HD2 General] MadSci:
similar problem here

It might be your charger is FUBAR, so your 'fresh' batteries are not really properly charged. Worse, a bad charger can actually fry the control chip inthe battery pack - leading to very inexplicable behavior by the phone.

If you don't want to be without he phone for along while, try getting an OEM charger on ebay (~$10) and a new battery and see if it works.

Good luck!
[HD2 General] holdup:
hi madsci

thanks for the advice, unfortunately i ended up giving the phone back to the retailer, and am still awaiting its return.

With regards to the charger, I normally charged my phone on my laptop and using an OEM charger that came with the phone, so I doubt they would be the cause of the problem, unless it actually fried the control chip like you said. Either way, I'm hoping the retailer provides me with a replacement rather than a repair

[Desire General] Geeba:
I wonder if anyone can help...

I'm at stage 1 of de-branding my UK Orange Black Desire..

I got the unlock code this morning and it worked a charm! ;)

Thing I have now is if I have the Vodafone sim in the vodafone desire it came from (handset is going back faulty) I get HSDPA....

If I then put the same sim in the unlocked Orange Desire it only gets 3G+ (whatever that is)

I had to configure the Access Point Names manually as prior to that it had no data connection at all? :(

Anyone got any ideas? am I missing something?
[Desire General] reaperSKD:
3g+ is hsdpa but orange named it 3g+ in their Rom for some reason. Don't worry, all is well :-)

[Desire General] Geeba:
Your a STAR! thanx mate! :D

Just got to flash it now and get rid of all this orange JUNK!

For some reason the market place is different on the orange phone to.... google earth, beebplayer and layer are all missing... and goggles doesnt work.
[Desire General] reaperSKD:
I'm on orange also, and have done what you are doing. Be careful when you flash the new generic Rom as it will lock the phone, and you will need an unlock code to use it again if you don't have the goldcard in while updating. You'll find Google earth in the market after the flash, as I have it installed on mine. Goggles also works. It will display hsdpa instead of 3g+ when flashed aswell.

Any problems I'll try to help.

[Desire General] aindow:
Orange always call HSDPA - "3G+" on all their smart phones, my Nokia N85 was the same until i changed it's product code and reflashed it. I guess they call it 3g+ because it sounds like an improvement to 3G. Non technical people will probably wonder what HSDPA actually is.

Also, if you want Google Earth, use a WWE rom as the European ROM i used to debrand my Orange Desire originally would not find google earth, even after doing an OTA update.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Diablo2424:
My friend who has an Android phone (Moto Cliq on T-Mo USA) showed me this application she got called, World Tour. The developer is BoD, his website is here: http://www.jraf.org/android/ and the specific section for this application is here: http://jraf.org/code-latoureiffel/content.xml

What I'm wondering is if someone out there could port this application to Windows Mobile for my HD2.. I already e-mailed the developer and he said he is not planning on creating any applications for Windows Mobile, only Android :-(.

If not, then does anyone know of any similar application for Windows Mobile that will load live webcam's (from different links, I even know a few of my own I'd like to use if possible) as your wallpaper (background)? And this application will also change the image every X minutes (my friend had her's set to 15 mins)...

Hope someone can help, thanks in adv.!

So I ordered this case before TMO released the phone (being proactive) and it does

not

wrap the phone perfectly. forcing it to fit will crack the case. I also believe that this case has slightly bent my battery cover (which hilariously makes for easier removal). that being said it won't pop off on a drop, and the crack on the case only visible on the inside (when the case is off). I wouldn't recommend this case, but if you can find a USA compatible case, I do highly recommend this style of case.

I purchased this case about 2 weeks ago for my US TMO HTC HD2 and I've had no problems with it. It is a little bit snug, but I can take it on and off in a few seconds. And I've taken it off probably 50 times since I got it, my phone has no scratches on it at all. I don't think it's "really tight", it fits perfect. I like how thin and minimal it is. I'd tried a few cheap hard rubberized cases from Ebay and they all started to peel/de-laminate immediately. I like this case so far.

i just bought a similar case with this one for $6 from ebay.It fits my phone perfectly. The only thing that this case is better than mine is: it's not polish.
