I have had mine for nearly two months and I do not regret the purchase at all. Currently running stock rom and had very few hiccups. Once in a while you will have a minor issue thats not too bad to resolve. Its a little bit like owning a 70s muscle car...get your hands dirty once in a while...but she simply hums otherwise :)
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Ive had mine since november and its not caused me any serious problems (apart from ones that were my fault)...

The stability has been 100% on the stock rom and on an energy rom.........

There is a lot of negative posts regarding the stability/lag etc....

But as someone already said, the majority of people only post when they have a problem. Even if you do have a problem it can usually be solved ......

In short......... I dont think you'll be disapointed if you switch......
[HD2 General] troed:
Beside the heat-issue when navigating in hot summer-weather in the car (charging and running nav-prog :mad::mad:) my HD2 - though of the very first batch received by end of Nov. 2009 - is the most stable phone I ever had (NOKIA E90, Sony P900/910, HTC Touch HD "Blackstone")

I have approx. 50 apps installed (and use ALL of them !) and a lot of mods from the geniousses here at XDA (CoOkie, Dunc, Dinik, Smaberg, Davej, Jaguaralani etc. - sorry if I forgot one: YOU ARE ALL GENIOUSSES :D:D:D:p)

What I strictly refrain from is playing around with flashing ROMS and buying branded Smartphones. I have stock-ROM 1.66/WM 6.5/Radio 2.06.51.07/Prot. 15.30.50 running and almost all reg.tweaks from the "tips & tricks" thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583638 ). Especially moving all cache-folders to Storage Card is essential. My last getting stuck or freeze (beside the heat issue) was maybe three months ago. Cooked ROMS are great for enthusiasts and people that have plenty time playing around as a hobby but if You want to work with Your HD2 everyday in a stable way better not try it

I invested some money and got me SPB-Backup, SKTools (full background services running), PocketMechanic and Resco-Explorer (better than any e-reader- and document-tab) installed.

Whenever I install a mod or tweak or app I strictly proceed as follows (takes time and discipline to do this but spares the frustration and day-long anger hardresetting and starting from the scratch again):

0. READ ENTIRE THREAD FOR AN APP/MOD/TWEAK BEFORE INSTALLING !!! IF YOU READ: e.g. "Doesn´t work for me, 1.66 ROM" multiple times DON´T INSTALL IT !!! (that sucks but keeps You happy with Your HD2)

1. Full backup of the HD2 (except storage card)

2. Installation of app/mod/tweak (if not explicitly specified) to Storage Card

3. Testing the app/mod/tweak after installation and full testing of the HD2 if everything else is running fine.

4. Cleaning the installation Junk with e.g. "Junk Cleaner"

5. Additionally "Autoclean" with SKTools

6. Running Registry Optimizer with SKTools

If HD2 freezes after installation of an app/mod/tweak just take out the battery, start the HD2 and full restore with SPB-Backup-file and everything is fine and perfect in no time :D:D:D:D

Believe me, I am SO TEMPTED to install Froyo 2.2 but since it works only with Radio 2.08 and higher and I read of a lot of problems with Radios 2.08 and higher on the 1.66 ROM I have to abstain and live without Froyo 2.2

Have fun with Your HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hobb:
Hello,

Been playing around with almost all the android builds for the last month or so and I think the latest ones are pretty close to meet all my needs to be my main productivity OS.

One of those needs is the possibility to run OpenVPN, which I've still not been able to do. I've tried with Darkstone Froyo v1 without success and I think is because of the tun driver not being present. I'm a linux beginner and I'm not really sure of the difficulty of fixing this, specially at this stage where is likely to be a very low priority issue, but perhaps with a little bit of enlightment about if I'm right about why is not working I can try to do some research on my own about it.

I've already been looking around for an answer but havent's been able to solve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to the all the devs for such an amazing work making android/linux work in our devices.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] binfordboy:
I second that.

Thanks to all devs doing this incredible work!

The only thing i'm missing is a working tun driver too, to be in hd2 dreamland.

I have a HTC Tattoo,I flashed a SPL(seems SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip) which belongs to HTC Magic by mistake today,:(,(I just took a wrong sdcard,which I used in my Magic),then the Tattoo became a brick.

when i turned on the Tattoo by power button,it didn't respond any more ,the screen was not lightened too.

I have made a golcard before,Anyone could tell me how to fix it?

I could not open the Tattoo,

when I Pressed power+home buttons, no image comes up,no recovery mode shown;

when I Pressed power+return buttons, fastboot mode did not show too...

Thanks in advanced.:)

[Click Android Development] banane7:
Does it have any hope?Anybody?Any advice?
[Click Android Development] TheSSJ:
Sorry, but a phone which is not reacting at all is really a bad starting point..

Press volume down (hold) and press the power button..if you have luck you'll come into HBOOT (or fastboot)...if it turns on, then thank the lord :P

anyways, connect it to usb and DON'T touch the phone!

then download the original click ROM (i assume your German according to your nickname): http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Click/RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe

start it and then hope that it can flash your phone...

if the setup exits with error 131 (bad customer code) then try the following ROM: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Click/RUU_Click_Vodafone_UK_1.67.161.18_release_signed_NoDriver.exe

Good luck, that's all that can be done...you could send your phone back to HTC...since it doesn't even turn on I don't think they can determine that it is rooted ;)

Just don't tell then the truth (say that your mother threw it accidentally from the kitchen table and that it doesn't turn on anymore).

Good luck
[Click Android Development] haree:

But I'll add it as soon as possible...
[Click Android Development] Ihaveatattoo:
Did it work?
[Click Android Development] Sherry123:
The only way I could advice you on getting it fixed is by contacting HTC and explaining the issue and then asking if their is anyway of them fixing it... they will have all the flashing tools that don't require the phone to be operational.

They might ask for a fee for it doing but really it's your only option right now :(

Good luck!
[Click Android Development] TheSSJ:
No, in Germany this operation would be covered by the warranty (if you tell them the "right" lie) ;) Did this myself with a Tattoo of a friend of mine...

Hello ppl,

I bought this phone, i have one big problem, i can´t import contacts from outlook, i try export to gmail account and sincr with phone, but i can´t made call only edit then. is posible import from outlook?? how??

thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aahdab:
you can use Android-Sync free program ,

install into windows system and connect phone .

it is support for :

Contacts, Calendars ( Tasks, Notes, Bookmarks, SMS / MMS, Settings, File management, are working in progress )

Connect with a USB cable. Power saving, more secure, and private ( OTA wireless syncing is working in progress )

Support Microsoft Outlook from 98 - 2010

Support Android OS 1.1 / 1.5 / 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2

visit : http://www.android-sync.com/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] doc_oli:
I'm using gSyncit (14.99 USD). It syncs Calendar, Contacts, Tasks (to an additional Google Calendar), and Notes (to GoogleDocs). Does it's job quite nicely. The first complete sync takes some time but then it works quite fast.

Before that, I exported my Outlook Contacts to a CSV file and imported it from my Gmail account. Works quite well, but I prefer the comfort of an Outlook-plugin.

Cheers,

Oliver
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tecmobility:
Why not using the activesync that should be loaded by default?

Android-Sync free program is limited to 20 entries.... not very usefull unless you want to buy it and then realizing that it doesn't allow editing contacts from the phone :S
[HD2 General] stanadams54:
for some reason the pinch zooming only works on fotos but won't work in opera...worked fine yesterday..did I touch something forbidden?
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
turn your device on and off unless you installed opera 10
[HD2 General] nzxtneo:
Have you changed any settings lately? If not, try a soft reset. And pinch to zoom is not in Opera 10, so if you installed that it wont work. The HD2 has an optimized version of Opera 9 with pinch to zoom capabilities.
[HD2 General] stanadams54:
I went out for a run and turned it off before leaving. on my return after the soft reset it seems to be working again. like I said it's new so I'm still yoting with it, must have changed something without wanting to. thanks! while I'm at it, any idea why it won't play .avi files in the wmp?
[HD2 General] nzxtneo:
I personally convert all my video to MP4 using Any Video Converter Pro, here is their free version (its basic, but free!)

http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/

But it is easier to use coreplayer or TCPMP because they can play just about anything and you will not have to convert the file first.

And if you want to stay with Windows Media Player, here is some reading for you.

[HD2 General] stanadams54:
thanks for the advice. it's odd, the owner's manual states:

Video supported formats: .wmv, .asf, .mp4, .3gp, .3g2, .m4v, .avi

so I assumed there would be no problems playing .avi files. guess I'll have to give the converter a try.
[Captivate General] koppelmanwj:
Ok so this has happened every night I have had the Captivate (3 nights), I go to bed at night and in the morning where my signal bar should be I have a circle with a slash through it (no network). When I go to bed I will have like 2-4 bars of service but something must happen and I lose all network functionality. I have to restart the phone which solves the problem but is a serious pain. This also happens sometimes randomly throughout the day.

Any ideas if this is a common problem with all Captivates or if it is a hardware or software issue?

I like this phone and if I can get it to work properly I love it more than my iphone but not getting service is a buzz kill and I will return it. (Bought it unsubsidized for $500 because I couldn't deal with my iphone anymore)

Note: I live in Tampa which generally has good AT&T service and have had no other problems with other phones
[Captivate General] lost2030:
Did you turn off the phone and remove the sim card for a few minutes?? According to an at&t rep doing that solves network issues.

The problem I had today was that the phone showed full bars, but I couldn't send a text or make calls. I took the reps advice and it's fine for now.
[Captivate General] koppelmanwj:
Well I will give that a try tonight and see how it goes and post back tomorrow with my results. I really love everything. Else about this phone and would be a shame of I had to get rid of it because of silly antenna issues. Thanks for the advice!
[Captivate General] icedfire101:
Are you sure you don't have any power saving apps on that are turning off the radio after a few hours? Did it happen when it was stock with no programs installed? Might try and flash it back to stock and see if that solves the problem.

Otherwise you could always walk into an AT&T store and ask for another one and see if it still happens.
[Captivate General] koppelmanwj:
Well last night it did the same thing after removing the sim for about 10 minutes before bed.

And as far as knowing if it did this before I rooted it.....well...I owned the phone for maybe 10 minutes after unboxing it before I rooted it. So I have no idea if it is because it is rooted. I don't have any apps on it for power saving purposes and nothing should be killing the radio. Problem is that it isn't like airport mode is on...its completely out of service and the only way to get service back is to reboot. Turning the radios on and then off again while the phone is on won't work...it must be a reboot.

I will probably end up returning it and trying one more Captivate before I look else where for a new phone. But after seeing this screen it would be hard to look at any other phone twice.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
iphone4 would be a good screen alternative

ur antenna issue is unique and a new phone will probably fix it. id get that sim replaced too.
[Captivate General] koppelmanwj:
The new iPhone would be ok...but I can't go back to an iPhone. I have had 4 of them (2 first gens) and I am so bored of them. And I know people rave about the iPhones new screen but side by side with this phone I would take the extra screen real estate anyway.

And I did consider getting a new sim card too. I think I will wait until towards the end of my 30 day return policy and trade in for a new one.

Thanks for all the help guys
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I've had mine since July 18th and had never have this happen...till this morning. When I pulled it off charger I noticed the signal meter what a circle with a slash. Well, I dont get great reception in my apartment so it didnt phase me until I was on my way to work and still didnt have a signal. So, I turned it off and back on and then it had a signal. So I dont know what was up with that. I'll keep an eye on it tomorrow to see if its something thats going to happen regularly.
[Captivate General] koppelmanwj:
Hmmm...so I'm not the only one having this problem. Yeah I don't get superb service in my apartment but I have also never really had any other network problems with other phones.

Wonder if there is something that kills the network if you don't have a decent signal for a certain period of time. I just wish it wasn't everyday. On the brightside nobody will wake me up with emails or texts or calls.

Thats your bootloader.....

to do a hard reset its...

hold down volume up and volume down

tap and release power

keep holding both volume buttons down....

I think whats happening is that your only holding the volume down.

Try taking your battery cover off to get a better press and making sure that up and down are held, then tap the power button.........

hope that helps.....

What rom did you try to flash via sd card?

What rom were you using before it crashed?

Is it a tmous hd2 (green and red buttons?) or a "normal one"?

What happened to make it freeze crash?

Can you still get to bootloader? (the screen you posted above)

If you can then go to that screen and connect your phone via usb......

wait a few mins and let us know if the word "serial" at the bottom of the screen changes to "usb"........

If it does you should be able to flash a rom via your computer......
[HD2 General] kelleci:

[HD2 General] conantroutman:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=298516

would you be able to try and flash on someone elses pc?

im not sure if this would help or not but im running out of ideas im afraid....
[HD2 General] kuwait:
My friend, if the phone starts at all you definitely should be able to do HARD RESET.

You are probably not doing well the hard reset. You cannot destroy bootloader with backup programs.

You should :

-hold pressed volume up and volume down buttons

-tap and release power button

-keep holding both volume buttons down for several more seconds until three color screen appears and shortly after that a message will appear on lite blue screen. Then release both volume buttons. Then press volume up button, usually it is necessary to press it once again. System restoring bar will begin to raise up to 100%. After that pres again volume up and system will restart.
[HD2 General] kuwait:
By the way your initial rom is 1.66 but on the pictures is 1.48. So you did pictures after you flashed it. Also noted that you have flashed HSPL.

Suggest to download your initial original rom and install it from the memory card. Not sure but may be downgrade of the rom is not possible from 1.66 to 1.44.

To all of you having the "same problem"

If you are 100% sure your stock rom is correct. rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.NBH, put it on the root of your SD card, and boot into bootloader, it will flash.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE IF YOUR STOCK IS CORRECT POST HERE FIRST OR YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE,

better to look noob than to brick, there are too many versions of this phone to mess around here.
