[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoro8500:
Hello there guys

so i got my replacement phone after i lost my htc hd2.they sent me a brand new htc hd2 in the box.recently the screen showed up a mark in the middle with liquid moving around if u press it. its doesnt have any affect on the screen itself but it just looks bad. I phoned the insurance company and they said they will send me a brand new after i return it. i was just wondering if its worth all the hassle and can be fixed easily. also send/recieve button for email seems to be working for Wi-Fi internet only and it wont download any emails using the network internet even tho i know it work perfectly since i use it alot.

just out of interest, anyone willing to buy brand new htc hd2 unlocked (the one they will send me) and how much u r willing to pay.

thanks

Sounds like a Newton ring to me.

I was hoping that the HD2 wasn't going to suffer from them as I've not seen any posts mentioning them until now (unlike with my old HD)

Normally caused by overheating through using bluetooth/wifi/3G/apps although don't expect HTC to admit that, they put it down to applying too much pressure to the screen.

If you're having problems with the phone and they're offering a replacement, I'd take it.

You never know, they could have sent you a refurbed model by mistake.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoro8500:
OMG you are totally right. My original one never had such problems but the one they sent me came with a leather cover so i put it in and then put it in my pocket so i guess it could heat up easily with that. and btw how do i know it was refurbed model. it came in with a box and the screen cover and the wires. the box wasnt sealed like the my original phone

have you tried the hairdryer trick? sometimes works, do a search for hd2 hairdryer, should find it, hope it helps
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
Without signs of minor damage on the phone it's hard to say it's a refurb unit, and it's totally possibly that it's a brand new phone.

It's very easy for a company dealing with returned phones to accidently ship one out as a new one.

There was a rather embarassing moment for a bloke who was showing his wife how to use her brand new phone from T-mobile when they stumbled across amatuer nude photos! The staff in the T-mobile shop's initial solution when they complained was to offer to delete the images rather than a new phone!

Looks: Really cool! I love the rounded edges, but not to fond of the Launcher

Functionality: Not to many features, more of just Vanilla.

Usability: 8/10- It is not that fast and honestly just doesn't have the usaibilty of sense roms or stuff

I liked EZHero 3.x and 4.0 Beta a lot, but after a bit of usage I must say that the UI felt a bit sloppy in response time even though using LauncherPro and veryfing via top that no other process was out of control :-( moved back to VR 10.3 as SuperHero froze on my phone for no apparent reason.

I'd drop Sense in a heartbeat, but I don't like the vanilla calendar or music apps. It's what will probably keep me from using CM again :(
[Droid Incredible General] nfcrockett:
I feel you on that, I'm currently running CM and using ADW Launcher, Beautiful Widgets, Agenda Widget, Pure Grid Calendar, Pure Messenger, Pure Music and Visual Bookmarks all to replace most of the Sense widgets.
[Droid Incredible General] xvenom89:
I wasn't talking about the widgets; I also use, and love, ADW.Launcher. It's the actual applications I don't want to lose.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiko36:
Is anyone else having this problem? I used Advanced Task Manager to kill all the currently running apps and left the phone alone for a minute or so. Then I opened Advanced Task Manager again, and every single app installed on the phone is up and running again. Seems like this would be a huge battery drain. Any thoughts?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiko36:
That's exactly what I'm complaining about. I've had my phone off charger since 9 this morning and now have less than 25% battery left. This is near not functioning as a everyday use device.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaldreamer7:
What all do you have activated (gps, WiFi, Bluetooth)? Do you work in an office where you have spotty reception?

I get 12 hours out of this battery with bluetooth on, using the music player here at work. If I don't use the music player or bluetooth etc, I easily get 19-20 hours of batt life on the stock rom. I text constantly but I only get maybe 2 calls a day.

Locking the screen after each use (helps a lot and turning the internet connection off in my office helps a lot as well, I get really spotty signal down here and the constant switching between 3g and E drains the batt.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlacsamana1989:
Do you have a rooted MT3GS with a custom rom installed? If you do you should make sure you have the most updated radio since when you flash the eng build it downgrades your radio and that radio isn't the best on battery life. I remember doing it and going to work and within half of my shift it was down to 20%.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiko36:
Just as a little update:

This morning woke up at about 9 and took the phone off charger. Decided to try and go the day without 3G. Since this morning I've only used about 20% battery, leaving me sitting with about 80% left. The only thing I can think is the device is CONSTANTLY switching between Edge and 3G causing a major hit to the battery.

In reference to the radio suggestion, I downgraded to ENG, flashed the newest radio, then upgraded my ROM to SlideMeRoot2. Once I rebooted it gave me a pop up saying congratulations on the upgrade or what have you. So as far as I know I have the newest radio.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aflansburg:
Get the "Network" app by Philipp Mangelow in the Market

Use this if you don't have a CDMA only phone like Moment, Droid I think, READ THE WARNING in the market.

This stopped me from constantly switching between WCDMA and GSM which does seem to have an effect on the battery, and making your downloads/surfing uber slow.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
Many of those applications that are running constantly are vital (TMO Contact Util seems to crash my network when I close it).

Anywho, turn off WiFi, GPS, follow my Autostarts guide to disable unnecessary services/apps launching on unnecessary triggers (use with caution).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakgwailo:
Task killers/etc do a lot more damage than good, and really really should go away. If you use wifi/gps/et a lot, expect less battery life. I get a day easily, and that is making many calls, 3G and texting. Turning on my GPS drains the battery very quickly.

You can use AnyCut, make a short cut to Phone Info, and lock your device in either edge or 3G (WCDMA Only) to help with the switching. In my office in NYC up on the 28th floor all phone I have had (G1 and this) switch like crazy between edge and 3G, however, locking it into 3G gives me constant internet and not much battery drain.
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
I have had both of these phones for a while now, and have not noticed a huge speed difference between them. (The Hero can get bogged down briefly, but it is very infrequent. And I should say that my first Hero was not nearly as fast as my current one for some reason…)

In my opinion the most noticeable differences are:

Size, of course. My typing on the huge screen is far more accurate on the Evo because the keys are further apart - this is a welcome change for sure. The Evo still fits in pockets easily though, and does not feel much heavier than the Hero. The Evo does feel very solid and high quality though, for sure. And the Evo screen's resolution is superb: it makes the Hero screen look pixelated when looking closely.

I miss the trackball - the nav keys on the Evo are nowhere near as convenient.

Sound quality for calls on my Hero is very good, but the Evo sounds even better. Very loud and clear on both ends. (and each of these sounds way better then the Blackberries I have been using)

3g data throughput is about the same on these phones, and even though I am in the middle of LA, there is no 4g that I can detect. Lame considering the $10 premium.

Battery life has been very good on the Evo. Seems to last as long as my Hero – which is to say at least 24 hours in normal use. And the Evo loses only about 1% charge or less per hour when in standby! (I am not using the Mail app on either phone, because the POP function kills the battery in a few hours. Instead I use the gmail app and have it POP my outside mail accounts for me, and they are pushed to the phone by Google. Works just as well as POP, and the battery life improvement is *drastic.*)

In all I would say if you are happy with the Hero and do not intend to watch movies or do a lot of gaming on your phone, you might want to wait and see which other Android phones come to Sprint.

I would also say that if you are itching for a new large screen phone or if you type a lot, this Evo looks and feels aswesome, and at $200 it is a steal.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Nice review, but let the flame wars begin!
[Hero CDMA General] rulyskull:
nice bro evo is now back on my mind agian
[Hero CDMA General] rulyskull:
FLAME ON!!!!

so the hero is a old dude and the evo is a baby new and nice but still annoys you with its screams
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
I just cant see people comparing... This is like comparing a 2002 Benz to a 2010 Benz. Sure you can update the 2002 to run just as fast and smooth as the 2010, but in the end, the 2010 can be updated even more to run like a 2020....

Sorry, I just use cars as comparisons a lot. The only constant thing that I see people complain about the Evo is... screen size, and what do you know, every new smartphone coming out now is 4+ inches lol.
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
Well, the obvious reason for comparing is that a lot of people who have bought the Hero are considering the upgrade.
[Hero CDMA General] wjason:
Thanks OP. I appreciate the insight. I like the sound of 1% battery drain per hour while sleeping but I am pretty content with my rooted Hero for now.:cool:
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
EVO is approaching "teenager" quickly in Sprint/HTC Smart Phone years. :D
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
For the record, I am now getting better battery life out of the Evo! Hard to believe considering the screen size...

And I agree, this thing is large. But I am getting used to it, partly because the type on the screen is so much easier to read.
[Hero CDMA General] laufine:
I love my Hero, as I still my exs!lol
[Hero CDMA General] Stellarex:
Still doesnt make me wanna switch to the Evo.

My contract is up July 3rd. I was going to get the Evo, but if you say the speed is about the same then whats the point. I'd still rather have a N1 than the Evo.
[Hero CDMA General] cp0020:
the hero hasnt even been out for a year and people are already ditching it or talking about ditching it. the hero is still a badass phone. im keeping it till it breaks. and when it does break i'll get the latest and greatest phone cause i'll have all that money saved up and be laughing at the people who cant get it cause they blew all there money on a phone every 6 months. :p
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
Speed is not the same, but in practice there is not a big difference. Especially if your Hero is overclocked.

I say the main advantage is the huge screen - makes for much more comfortable reading, watching movies, sprint tv, games, etc. (I often strain to see the tiny type on the Hero screen - for example in the gmail app.) Also typing is much easier and more accurate on the big screen.

If you are not interested in a larger screen, keep your Hero.

I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere and I've been looking since launch day.. anybody who had a Moto Droid knows that when Google and Facebook contacts were synced, any contacts with identical names were automatically merged together. With HTC's "People", it suggests to Join them, but it never automatically puts them together. Is there a way to merge my identical FB and Google contacts together, or do I have to manually Join each one?

Hello, I am new to flashing ROM's on my device. I have seen the tutorial on how to do it, but I still have a question which I hope can be answered, as well as put somewhere so others that might have the same questions can find it without making a new thread like I am doing right now.

Does this void the warranty on the phone, and would restoring the original stock ROM on the device restore the warranty?

Again, sorry for making a thread for this, but I could not find the answer for this anywhere.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jhernand1102:
Yes it will void your warranty but as long as you flash back to a stock ROM and relocking your phone before sending it in for repairs you should be ok....:)

Simply using the trackpad button to wake the screen just as the lock button does.

I have a BA that is unlocked and happily runs Orange, Vodafone, O2 sims. But when I try a 3 sim I get the error: sim invalid.

I get the same message when there is no sim in it. I checked the sim contacts and all looks fine. And the sim works fine in my ordinary 'phone' mobile.

Any suggestions for a fix to the problem?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Stevemann:
OK. I'll answer:

Three (3) don't own any GPRS network so they have locked their sims from roaming onto any non 3G network. Else it costs them money.

So any 2G/2.5G device (BA etc) will not accept a 3 sim. Some people have found theirs to work for a short period until 3 see the non-3G usage and take action.
