[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelok:
The point of the HD2 is kind of a niche market of people who want a device that requires messing with. I have found that these people are the most happy with it. The iphone would be the other end of the spectrum with android in the middle.

i'm not sure if it's feasible for you financially (or contractually) but knowing how winmo can be for some users, I bought an Evo4g for my wife and she has never reported any issue with it. it's very similar to the hd2 with a few bonus hardware specs.

For me, winmo was (gasp!) on of the main reasons I got the phone. I prefer electronics that require hours of messing with to reach their full potential. To paraphrase what you said, It's like having a ferrari that can go 200 mph with a governer set to 40mph. Your average driver would be pissed, but I happen to be a mechanic... and I see speeding tickets in my future. :)

As for your active sync issue.. I replaced my left softkey with task manager and I would often accidently 'end task' on active sync. Now I have active sync run hidden so I don't do this anymore. This leads me to ask: when you experience connection problems to the PC, is active sync running on your phone? If not, that's your problem. If it is running, try to sync with another computer to see if perhaps that is the problem. It could also be the data cable you are using.

I'm curious also as to the freezing problem when making calls. You need to give more info. Like what apps are running? Exactly when does the freeze occur? (dialing out and/or recieving calls?) What is the nature of the freeze? (is it a total lockdown? is start menu accessible? Do the hardkeys light up? etc.)

man dont get me wrong i like messing with devices, as long as they actually work.

when i got my sony ericsson i spent about a month weaking it and got it setup just how i wanted it.

but the difference was, i was still able to make calls and do all the major functions on the phone.

here i change one thing and its done.

so far it works great if its all clean no software installed or anything

as soon as i install cookie home screen it stops working.

i left it stock for the whole day and was able to use all the features.

how is that a hardware problem when the symptoms show up after a software is installed?

and just now out of the blue it decided to connect to active sync after about 5 tries...

the cable is good and so is the plug because when i do file transfers it works without a hitch.

didnt change any settings at all it just synced up randomly just like it did before and so it was with rhodium.

and i have a new PC so that is not the cause.

i actually reinstalled cookie bar about 3-4 times within last 4 hours and up untill now it was buggy.

i had it running with cookie bad for last 2 hours and its been ok, i was able to make calls and all buttons work this time, did exactly same thing as i did in previous installs so i donno, maybe windows doesn like me or something.

at this point i feel like im having a flashback because this is exactly what i had to go through with touch pro2 different phone same issues...

chances are most of you old timers are just used to the winmo issues by now, kinda like driving a beater car where your windows dont roll down and you have to punch the dash to start the car but its ok for you ,

LOL this was my first WM phone, when i had it from vodafone it had an old original Rom on it and it was pants (this was about 8months ago), withing a week though guided to this site did a load of reading, then put hspl and a custom rom on, and haven't looked back since.

I've now got android running too and for me its a superb phone, i have no freezing issue's (the occasional stutter), in windows my phone never gets hot and the battery lasts really well prob 2 full days use.

Android is different much better than it used to be but still gets hot and battery drain is higher, but i have a WM phone for the day when in work its superb, then for playing about with apps etc i have an android phone in the night.

For your info i'm using the latest elegancia rom, and since installing one of the elegancia roms ages ago have had no issue's, slick smooth and fast, there are though plenty of good roms about...

Without doubt though this phone really does need some patience and some experimenting to get the most out of it, doesn't suit everyone but once you get it sorted there's nothing at the moment i would change mine for...

And just a small mention if you do use a custom rom and it sorts your phone out, think about dropping the guys a few $$$ for there hard work :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodybuilder27:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelok:
Could be a bad sector of RAM that CHT is accessing but normal system use is not. Could be faulty internal storage causing corrupt data. Could be faulty SD card controller that's retrieving faulty information from the external storage. Could be a bad micro USB port messing up sync and data transfer. Without getting my hands on it, I couldn't tell you for sure. One thing I do know is that your problem(s) are relatively unique and this leads unambiguously to the conclusion that either the specific user or the specific device is the problem. Since I would hesitate to place judgement on someone I don't know, I'm assuming that your HD2 has an issue that warrants an inspection and possibly a replacement from HTC.

Did you open task manager to see if activesync was running on the device as well as on the host computer prior to making the connection?

Also take a look at THIS (possible registry fix for bad activesync) thread and THIS (possible fix for no activesync while flashing) thread for a possible solution
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
ok i got some progress

ihad it running for about 24 hours so fareverything works relatively good

it freezes in my messaging screens now for few seconds.

email and sms.

but call screen works.

yesterday i installed HSPL3 so i can flash

installed the illuminati rom(clean tmo rom)

after that activesync would not connect

today installed 2.12.50 radio

installed cookie homescreen and ram clean. worked ok

installed bsb tweaks worked ok as well.

im puzzled lol

installed few more apps as well and so far its doing ok.

not sure if android is at the stage where i can use all features.

isnt there a proble wit 3g reception and camera still?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzysig:
bb27 ure dumb.

first off in no way i refered to any of you as stupid or otherwise retarded or called you names in my posts. only after some of you decided to call me names without reading the post carefully.

i only refered to windows mobile as beeing full of bugs etc.

and i also mentioned that i replaced my touch pro2 for a brand new phone when i had it and all 3 phones had similar issues, that were showing up randomly... so it seems to be normal occurence with winmo, usually with other phones an error comes up every time you do a certain task, windows is not like that i notticed.

anyway. you who cannot help please***Mod Edit*** leave my thread go make fun of kids on apple forum they will accept you as their own since you still in highschool.

as you can see theres nothing wrong with the phone because it is working fine at the moment.

well reading a blackberry/HD2 review online i found exactly what i was trying to say but couldnt think of right words.

"I sort of think that BlackBerry just works for you, whereas with with Windows Mobile, you need to make it work for you"

that pretty much what i meant when i started this thread.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
dude, you have been warned and now reported. We have tried to help you out but obviously you are not as technically proficient as you think you are. Your best bet is to sell the phone on craigslist and go back to your simple blackberry.

Obviously, either the phone is defective (1 year warranty at least through htc, even if you bought it used), or you really just can't figure it out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wacky.banana:
To the OP,

This thread is generating into a slanging match. You can't use the abusive language you have been while people are trying to help you out. If you are not aware you are in breach of XDA rules.

I am closing this now as there is sufficient information both in this thread and on the fora to help you overcome your problems if you really want to.

Hi,

Since installing 2.2 stock root, I've had the HTC Audio player start playing audio files by itself. Both times, I was not touching anything and when I looked at the player, it had the "play" triangle looking like it was not playing. I had to hit the play button once, once to turn it on (even though it was playing) and again to turn it off.

Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?

Thanks.

I'm fairly certain all it takes is running the official RUU, but is there anything that I should be taking into consideration?

just do a nandroid backup of your current rom and flash the latest RUU. then when you re-root you can just nandroid back in a flash. ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] true2you:
well hello guys

I'm just asking here if anyone encountered this problem before me:

My music tab has been working for like 2 months (since i flashed for the last time) without a problem, but i only had 3 or for albums on my SDcard.

I bought a new one (i went from 2 to 8gb) and i copied all my data on it, the music tab still worked for 2 days.

Then i decided to copy more music on it, i mean, why not? So i copied 2gb of music and then nothing, the tab just says "searching for music" until the "sorry but no music found" message.

But the card is fully functionnal and everything can be seen from the file explorer, and can be read with MEDIA PLAYER MOBILE (i hate that program so much).

After deleting most of the music, and only letting less than 150songs on the card, the tab works just fine.

Any comment would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time guys.

Sorry for the double post, I realized afterwards this was a better place for the question

I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.

last thing I did was copy over a froyo rom to the sd card and try to install it using clockworks rom tools from the sd card, however that process just rebooted my phone. So i assume it didnt do anything.

Is there a way to try to reflash the recovery image without being able to boot into android?
[Desire General] Ronaldo_9:
what do you get when u hold volume down and power button? do you not get hboot screen?

if you do then not bricked
[Desire General] rock_80:
I can get to the screen, but I cannot enter recovery, when I choose recover it vibrates, htc logo comes up then powers down. I cant boot into android , cant get to the recovery screen, so Im at a bit of loss what to do next.
[Desire General] Ronaldo_9:
you need to install recovery again then, i messed mine worse then yours and sorted using this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6710081&postcount=2

you have to download that ISO and burn it on cd and boot the linux and follow the command as if it was the 1st time you are rooting, if step 2 does not work then skip it and see if it boots into recovery. i remember i had to play with it for a bit
[Desire General] Dunbad:
I had something similar, Volume UP, then hit power? Select recovery, then wait 30 seconds, then update zip, then get it from there? Worth a try?
[Desire General] rock_80:
that wont work with the 0.83 bootloader will it ?
[Desire General] rock_80:
Anyone else have a solution?

I assume I may need to wait for a tiny linux version compatible with hboot 0.83? so that I can restore my recovery image? unless i can boot android

I cant connect in Win. because it wont boot..

How does fastboot work ? could I copy a slcd image over the microsd ( i dont have a card reader to test right now)card run fastboot, and have android boot long enough to sync windows and attempt to reapply the unrevoked recovery image?

[Desire Android Development] VeeDubZ:
nice one for the copy from modaco, I didnt think to add it here too, just want to add that this method WILL leave remnants in the widget and and app list.

The ways to avoid this is to remove them right after you install the rom before the first boot

or

remove them from the rom .zip file before install using winzip, winrar ect

Hope the guide helps people

I thought that youre post was that good that the XDA-community shouldt know it too.....;)

Btw, most of the apps are found in /system/app. I know that if the rom is odexed in system/app you find de .odex and that you had to remove them as well?! What happened to the .odex in a deodexed rom? Maybe thats the reason that there are some remnants?!

Anyway, i managed to get rid of some apps i don't need without any problems.

You have to remove the apk's before first boot of a flashed ROM, otherwise all the icons still appear in the applications menu.

If this is what you did, I would suggest that there are more N&W apks that you missed.
[Desire Android Development] sckc23:
can i use this method to remove quickoffice in order to free up some internal memory on the desire? thanks.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Removing apps from /system won't really free space on your device except maybe if you delete all the relevant stuff associated with this app in /data/data. It will just make the link disappear from list of apps.

BUT! A way to save space is to move the System apps UPDATE to /system/app and remove the old one. I did it for apps like Gmail or Gmaps, and it saved me a bit of space.

Hooo by the way, if you delete the .apk, you can delete the .odex file too.

Other tip: you can move the .dex file (in dalvik-cache) of an update system app to /system/app too and delete the old .odex. Worked for me, but do a backup before! (you've been warned ;-) )

Final tip: I moved some libs to /system/lib too (actually I did it for BIG libs like copilot live lib or FlashPlayer, at 8Mb each, I saved 16Mb of space on /data. Just simlink the old lib to the new one in /system/lib, and voila! )
[Desire Android Development] sckc23:
Thanks a lot for your tips mate! sounds a bit complicated to a non-techy person like me.. would you mind explaining how to move libs to /system/lib?

juz wondering.. if i reflash the same rom (in this case leedroid) but remove all the unnecessary apps such as htc stocks and quickoffice before flashing, will i actually end up with more internal memory?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
No because all those apps are in the /system partition and your user space is in /data. To get more space, you have to get S-OFF (security OFF) and resize your partitions! (even more techy than moving libs to the system partiton ;-) )

I'll try to write a small tutorial later about moving libs from /data to /system and save a lot of space!
[Desire Android Development] sckc23:
Cool that will be great! thanks again sibere=)

i'll try to s-off my device first to see what i can do next then.
