[EVO 4G General] clue1968:
This is strange. As of yesterday, my phone battery has been getting really hot with nothing running in the background. I'm using task killer and made sure I had no ruining

apps. Any suggestions I can do to stop this. I rebooted and even did a restoreand nothing seems to work :( HELP!!!!

My battery has had its times where it is just burning a hole in my pocket. AFter awhile it stops, but I don't know what is causing it, I don't have any sort of updates or syncs besides gmail.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
hmmm...

I would suggest running a logcat and watch it while your phone is asleep

Look for recurring processes from the same pid, the pid number will be in ( )

then use OSMonitor to identify what process is running over and over and over

This is how I learned Beautiful Widgets runs like crazy even if your not using it.

I had it installed and was not using it for ANYTHING and it was still running constantly, I won't let Beautiful Widgets anywhere near my phone again which is a shame because the widgets are pretty beautiful... :(
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
were you able to see beautiful widgets with a task killer?
[HD2 General] khaeid:
let's say your HD2 fell in water, or fell on the floor, or for some reason was suddenly not operating and cannot be fixed, and you have to buy another unit.

will you get yourself a new HD2 now that you really know the device? or buy another phone?

What would you buy if not another HD2 and why?
[HD2 General] Cass67:
Ok, i prefer not to think of that situation though ;)

Hard to say if i get another HD2 as there are many other phones out there with the same spec as an HD2. But if there were not id buy an HD2 in a moment as its a great phone, great screen, excellent call quality, active rom creating community for upgraded / custom roms .. Yeah it is a great device and id give it some thought if id have to purchase a new one ..

Probably id get a DroidX when it arrives. It has a similar spec and screen size as the HD2 and looks very nice .. Id be able to surf the web no probs on that device which is the primary reason i bought the HD2, so for me any device that has a large screen for web surfing and allows me to make a call once in a while would do me fine .. Hey would the 5" Dell Streak be too big for the pocket, hmm id give that one some thought too ;)
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
Nope, I love my Leo but I'd get an Android device and will be doing so when I can upgrade next January. I'd like to stick with a 4.3" screen though so therefore I'd like an Evo. But HTC have decided not to sell them in the UK so it would have to be a Desire.
[HD2 General] kervador:
I love my leo too, buti'll buy a droidX if I have to change quicker.
[HD2 General] StarLog:
I like it, but prefer android based OS.

So if I could get as big a screen with TMOUSA, then I would change.
[HD2 General] nebuneli:
I'll wait for HD3 :D
[HD2 General] htchd2sucks:
no, I will never buy such device.

Why? read my posts, there and then on this forum, including compete list of what's very wrong with it.

In short:

-poor support

-poor amount of updates, actually over because HTC discontinued the device

-official rom suck and is buggy

-HTC's philosophy to attack the one making roms

-Stupid design (sound, power button on the front, etc...)

Etc...

Also, I look competition and I see new Motorolla X, and I'm tempted to say: wow.

I heard feedback from people with droid and they did not have to wait custom roms to say "it works"...
[HD2 General] lexx-luthor:
If I broke my leo, I'd get a HD4, cause I hear its going to have a flux capacitor and be capable of generating the 1.21 gigawatts needed to power it.
[HD2 General] iarapilot:
Well, I ran into such a situation. My HD2 was not recognizing any sim card 50% of the time. And when it did, it only lasted for a short while. After trying all non invasive fixes, I decided to "operate" on it, taking it down to the screen. Still couldnt get it right. So I bought another one. I think it is a great phone for what I use it for. And, now I have a parts phone!:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] pedroxxx:
interesting question

Currently happned to me something similar. Phone has fallen out of my pocket on the ground, it was only 50-60cm, but screen is broken like if someone throw it against a bricked wall.

It will cost me at least 150EUR, bad luck. They do not repair only glass because is stick together with display and removing can break it.

I saw it at some thread ,that this is more problem of the hole around hw keys at the bottom. So basicly the design of the front panel, when phone is falling at bottom side.

But if it will be destroyed completely, I am not sure, but probably I will buy something else:

- phone itself is almost 9 months old, there are or shortly will be better phones

- there are still bugs after almost a year, and if they are solved they are not available for customers, for example official region version differencies

- is good that somewhere at forum is ROM which helps with battery consumption in standby mode, but you are not able to use it, basicly you are forced to break waranty otherwise you will be keep on usatisfied with device and forced to wait for official version for your region and wait and etc.

I like this device, but I am not blind to see weak points of the device or company policy, so it is almost 50-50 but time is ticking and competition will bring us better phones soon, I am optimist :-)
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
If that happened tomorrow, Id get a HTC Desire.

If it happened just before the Nokia E5 is released, Id go buy a cheapo phone to tide me over till E5's release.
[HD2 General] buzz killington:
HD2s are really cheap now on ebay, and I have a pretty fair library built up already so chances are good I'd pick up another one. Although it's equally likely I'd get a big Dell Streak. I mean have you seen the thing? Its keyboard has a numeric keypad!!!
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
If I absolutely needed a phone immediately, it would be a toss up between another HD2 or iPhone 4. Android on the HD2 seems closer every day so having that option would be nice - but I've got WinMo exactly how I like it and I don't mind it at all. Further, lets face it, the 4.3" screen size is just spoiling. I wouldn't switch for an Evo, and the DroidX is just TOO big.

If I could wait a few months, I'd look for a HD3 / other WP7 device... or an iPhone 4.
[HD2 General] Tm5078:

[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Ditto, Desire all the way. I am looking into Android a little more lately, I most probably won't, but I am trying to persuade myself to buy one.
[HD2 General] wakers:
I might get a Desire not because i don't like my HD2 but because i always have an itch to try something else.

Having said that it would be a close call i am due an upgrade on one of my contracts and was looking yesterday on the vodafone site, jeepers have you seen the prices on the Iphone 4's, flipping eck even if i wanted one i wouldn't get one, thats one expensive phone...

And having had a look around i've decided to stay with my HD2 for a while until something else comes out...
[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
"I might get a Desire not because i don't like my HD2 but because i always have an itch to try something else."

I know what you mean. I spent a year or so with my WM Tytn II - loved it then kind of got irritated by it's clunkiness ... had a Hero with Android for a year - loved it then kind of got bored and wanted a change ... ended up losing it and taking the HD2 as a replacement.

Android has some great integration, especially for social networking, but IMO it's not a great OS for business and things like emailing/file management. WM appears to be lacking in the former (although the HD2 is better because of HTC's work) but stronger in the latter.

For those reasons, I'd like to stick with the HD2 and see what my upgrade options are - iPhone 4 is an obvious option for me, but it's not often seen as the greatest tool for business etc.
[HD2 General] spike15_mk:
Android is the future

I know that hurts, especially all of us that have HD2(Windows mobile), but Android based devices are future. So probably if I broke my phone(I hope not), I will buy EVO or Desire. But I want to point out, i will never buy iPhone 4.
[HD2 General] khaeid:
Well, after reading all the previous posts, I was almost convinced to change to Droids, but reading your post, and the fact that you had TYTNII like i did, and you tried Droid for a year, i am sure you have a good point that droids are goo for social networking (showing off) and WM is good for business, and business is what i need.

but reading other posts and looking at my past 4 years experience in HTC, i am more than convinced that HTC company sucks, so i will try to find a better WM device from another company, but i am not sure if there is any
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bastiaan2003:
I recently clear my storage of my HTC Tytn II (factory reset) and ever since my incoming e-mail and SMS did not give me any vibration anymore. It does vibrate on incoming call.

My notification for e-mail and sms are set to 'play sound','display msg' and 'vibrate'

My sound profile is set to 'vibrate'

Does this sound familiair to anyone?

(I use the HTC default firmware)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Elwyn M3100:
I have had this in the past and ISTR that if you switch the vibrate off then on again in those settings it should work.

As a test, if you open up the comm manager and it should have 'Ringer' highlighted in blue on the left 4th row down (unless yours is radically different). If you click on it it should change to 'Vibrate' and vibrate the phone. Does this work?
[HD2 General] DanijasDub:
Hi all,

I have an issue with my HD2 nearly everytime after using file explorer and trying to shut program down by a task manager it freezes and soft reset is required by taking off battery cover and pressing "red panic button" :mad: annoying thing. Does anyone has the same issue thanks...

Using Stock Rom: 166 WWE
[HD2 General] htchd2sucks:
I had the same!!!

File explorer was set to explore "windows" folder (I was just trying to see the shortcut for the card game), and it always took like 10 real minute to explore.

The phone become unresponsive, only way was to kill the file explorer, then wait 5 more min. for it to "come back alive".

Everytime I was hitting the file explorer it was doing the same (still set to explore windows directory).

But one day it disapeared, and now, well I don't even try but the problem disapeared at some point, maybe it came back...
[HD2 General] DanijasDub:
i had this problem with windows folder as well so now im trying to avoid hitting that folder :) but im talking about killing file explorer in task manager , and gettin phone freezed.... fking hd2 :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shef:
Hi,

I can't get rid of bad call quality in my workplace (basement).

While other phones give much better performance in the same place.

I have been trying several radio versions, several rom versions, passive signal booster (perforated metal plate under battery)...etc....still bad.

I'm becoming desperate and if I don't solve that - Rhodium have to go away :-(

In that particular place the modes and cells are changing fast (It's switching between 3G and 2G and also Edge and GPRS several times when call is made even when phone stay at same place.

I was wondering if you don't have any solution for such problems.

Also It would seem more stable if for all calls and normal operation 2G would be used and only in case of data connection it would switch to 3G. Is there any software for that?

Thanks,

Petr
[Nexus One General] DarsVaeda:
hi,

I'm a bit confused about the froyo update procedure.

I have a N1 with Android 2.1 with I also started using Android at all.

So I never experienced any update procedure.

Is it always such a confusion?

I can understand that you will need to wait for adaptions if you are not running vanilla Android like on a HTC Desire or whatever.

And I may understand that an update would not be rolled out to localized Android phones like here in germany. As translations may still need to be done.

But...

As far as I understand it, I ie. will have to wait until my provider ( o² ) will do some adaptions ( what adapations?!? ) so I can update my N1 I bought from Vodafone ( germany too ). Which has, hopefully, just vanilla android with some localizations.

This seems to be a very stupid process if it really works that way.

And I do not understand it. Neither by idea nor technically...

Could somebody untangle this for me?

Hi,

Not sure what it is yet, but my phone is downloading a new Firmware update. OTA_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2-1.15.405.4_release_P4ohim1mtp6zggcyon.zip

Hi i get one HTC Touch Diamond blocked on XDP Diamond Logo,i try to reset with hard reset but i cant put in reset mode,so have any method to reflash because i'm new with HTC Phone thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iknighty:
Your only solution seems to be flash a new rom.

This guide should help you do just that.

Make sure your device is at the bootloader screen and connected to your computer before you run any of the executables. To boot it in the bootloader screen just turn the device on while holding the volume down button. Then enter the usb cable when the word 'Serial' appears on the screen and open the ROMUpdateUtility executable when the word 'USB' replaces 'Serial'.

Goodluck! Make sure to flash the Hard Spl first if you have never flashed a custom from before. There is no need to flash a radio, so you can skip that step if you want.

Goodluck and be very careful!

EDIT: If you have some problems or questions about the process or anything send me a message! Because if you post it here I probably won't see it.

I have an Shift of one of my colleges. The machine is very very slow and i wanted to start with a factory reset, where is this hidden?

I googled some, but can't really find specific info on this system (it's not a normal full vista it seems, but i'm not that of an expert)

If it's real easy maybe you guys have a workaround to put xp or different on it ? Vista is imo far to heavy for this machine.

Can one install linux and still be able to switch back to the vista recovery, or do you think that's also not an easy job?

2. when inserting micro sd card , i can view files write it but the phone is getting hung too. and also over heat..

Pls help me asap,what could be issue on that ?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
Overheating is a common issue with most devices. Normally happens whenever you are demanding too much power from the battery (ie when you are browsing the internet or are using GPS). If the devices hangs while reading/writing to the SD card, you may want to try using a different card as this may have an issue (short circuit inside of the card, which may cause over-heating issues as well)

If you need any more info just ask.
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
I've seen a few threads about it but never followed them to the end, you have 4 options as far as im aware

1- Send it to HTC but be prepared for a hefty charge and a long time without a phone

2- Search the net for phone repair specialists which is still quite costly

3- Ebay for a damaged or display model and take it apart

4- Live with it.

Use the search function and type "cracked" or "screen" and you wil find several threads, hopefully you will find your answer.
