oops... Sorry. May be the battery dead. Was it a original stock battery or some china made brand? If it is original one then you can go for warranty claim if your phone is under warranty. I don't think battery may dead so early but if it is not original (as some china made type) then we can expect that. Don't use those batteries as they hold the explosion risk too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthisnamefit?yes!:
I use the original battery.

Call HTC support. Do you have their #?

Does your Phone not respond in any way?

Have you tried this?:

Plug in Charger and then put the battery in, normally the phone turn on with this method.

Does that also not work?!

Take a Look if you charger and the cable is broken. Use another cable (if you have a Logitech Performance MX try the cable from this mouse).

Try to measure if the battery is dead. You can also use your tongue to test that.

ATTENTION: You should do that only on low voltage parts!!! Like batteries until 9V for e.g.. DO NOT LICK ON A ELECTRICAL OUTLET!!! You would be suprised, beleive me :D (no I don't try this :p)

Plug your USB Cable to a Computer if you are not sure if you charger works.

The HD2 vibrates -> TWO <- times before it starts.

One really light and short vibration and one you could not miss^^

Does you phone vibrate when you try to turn it on?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthisnamefit?yes!:
Okay, so I bought a new battery, but my HD2 still won't work.

It's absolutely the same problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniff15:
wife had this problem too was solved when we noticed the pins inside the phone were bent for the battery. fixing them got rid of the problem.

no seems to have mentioned that yet so take a look, they wont be bent much but that is for us.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthisnamefit?yes!:
I think this could be the solution. I recall bending them a little now that you say it.

How exactly did you bend them right again?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthisnamefit?yes!:
I tried to bend them right again and when I tried to boot my phone again, it didn't work.

Same issue.

Can anyone please help me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigners:
is the battery that you got now at least 50% charged? if not try to find anyone

with a hd2 and use their well charged battery then . .

enter bootloader

(press and hold volume down then briefly press the power button)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthisnamefit?yes!:
I'm like 90% sure my first battery was nearly fully charged and I assume the new one I bought usually should be fully charge too, right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GLO:
is the bottom of the back of the phone warm?

If it is then, i suspect that your motherboard is overheating.

Mine has frequent lock ups and sticking it in the fridge for 15mins (seriously) helps with the boot up.

Also install Battclock so you can see what the CPU % is, as mine would always lock up at 100%, perpetuating the overheating issue.

Let me know if the fridge helps your boot ups.

Mine will be going in for service soon, its only 6 months old.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthisnamefit?yes!:
Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not help.

I left it in the fridge for 15 mins and started to boot it but it just didn't react.

I haven't been able to boot my HD2 for a few days now.

I'm desperate, please help me!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GLO:
OK,

Can you get into the tri colour screen?

i think at this point your goal is to get it working.

You may have to sacrifice your data on the hd2 though.

Pull out the SD card. then remove the battery.

Hold the vol button down and power on,

Try to get to the tri colour screen and tray to flash a new radio to it.

Failing that, perform a Task29, and try to boot.

10 mins in the fridge wont hurt it at all.

Try to boot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willthisnamefit?yes!:
I'd lose to sacrifei my data if my HD2 would work again, but I can not get into the tri colour screen. :(:confused::(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dimension2035:
It may be the battery. You can try to get a replacement on amazon for $9 or you could take the battery from your phone and put the 3 pin to your tip of your tong and see if it has any current. If it has current then ignore the steps below as it is your phone that has the problem If you have no warranty, or cash at the moment do the following.

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! The only thing that can get damage is your battery.

Most likely your battery is dead, so plugging in a power supply to your phone won't do any good since the phone can't detect it if I'm right. But you try to can jump charge it giving it power to see if its the battery or your hd 2 that has the problem

If you are good with electronics and wires do the following in a safe environment. (Low Fire risk)

1.Take a spare wall adapter that came with a sell phone or mp3 player.

2.Look at the back make sure its rated no more than 5V

3.Cut the cable at the tip and expose the 2 wires inside they most likely will be red and black. RED = + Black = -

If both wires are black then look closely one of them should have a WHITE strip

The wire with the white stripe is the + and the other is the -

4.Make sure you cut the wire so the golden tips are exposed

make sure that they are neat and in place

5.Take the battery and notice on the back there are a + and a - take the wire and carefully match + with + and the - with - for 1min. It is very important that you do not make the wires touch because it will smoke

6.After 1 min remove the wires and put the battery in your HD 2. If it does not power on then your phone needs repair.

I wish you the best.

He did buy a new battery see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8847940&postcount=9

Are you saying that it wont turn on at all, nothing!

So you have tried holding the volume button up and down, and power on!
[HD7 General] Tomo1340:
Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere, my internet is not great currently. Can you load tomtom on the HD7? I have read somewhere that it comes with tomtom maps and you pay a premium for turn by turn navigation.

Any ideas?
[HD7 General] slateac:
Thats for the Desire HD, Not HD7, since the TomTom for HTC is using the HTCSense Android navigation app
[HD7 General] Tomo1340:
So there currently isn't a turn by turn navigation app for wp7? Bugger.
[HD7 General] Netz15:
There seems to be one: Navigon select

(it's delivered with the HTC Mozart (T-Mobile Germany) on November 3.)

[HD7 General] xma1e:
No current GPS works so it's encouraging to see that Germany will have something in November, meaning the companies ARE working on it. Won't be long now.
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
Well I read at Pocket Now that turn by turn navigation may appear in the January update...

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-7-update-in-january-may-bring-turn-by-turn-gps

Of course, at the moment this is just a rumour, but it would seem foolish for Microsoft to ignore an opportunity like that considering Google are pushing it for free on Android...
[HD7 General] Phone Titan:
That probably true as most other smart phone OS have this feature and so they will probably add it soon to catch up with other OS like Android.
[HD7 General] martoto:
Bing Maps for WM6.5 supports turn-by-turn navigation. The questions is not IF rather WHEN Microsoft gonna add it for WP7 as well.
[HD7 General] xma1e:
Neither Google or Bing Maps support turn by turn in the UK on WM6.5 so I'm not holding my breath for the WP7 version. Would be good if it did.

Copilot is also being very tight lipped about WP7
[HD7 General] martoto:
Well, I am not sure about Bing, however Google Maps Navigation (on Android) works perfectly in UK and it is quite good. Actually I've never tried Bing, since for WM there are plenty of really good third-party offline navigation software. I do not think we will see the same quality for WP7 soon.
[HD7 General] xma1e:
Neither worked on WM 6.5 using the Energy ROMs, but it is good to hear that they made it to the Android version in the UK so there is hope if Google release Google Maps for WP7.
[HD7 General] ageorgiou1984:
I emailed co-pilot asking them about their product on Windows Mobile 7, this was their reply:

Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.

Unfortunately we have not tested the latest Windows Phone 7 as yet, We are planning to test it in the near future, but unable to tell you exactly when it will be released.

If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.

[HD7 General] martoto:
lol. The CoPilot answer really cheered me up. How pathetic :)
[HD7 General] humblehyper:
GPS should be free, MS needs to step up. Android, nokia etc offers free voice navigation. This is the only one I hate about my phone.
[HD7 General] ckacey:
give it some time, bing worked well for wm 6.x, let's give them an update or two to get Bing for wp7 to have a chance to get updated.

I was riding home today and thought of a few reasons I could see why it wouldn't work as launched, I didn't write any down because I was driving, but many had to do with power management, and the way the interface is currently setup, minor things that may have taken extra time to get tweaked so they just work, rather than feeling hacked-together
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
I'm just slightly worried that if Microsoft do bring Bing GPS Navigation, whether it will be restricted only to the US again as in the UK, we were unable to use the Bing GPS Turn by Turn Navigation on Windows Mobile 6.x!

Because if that's the case, us Brits will still be left with NOTHING and no alternative!!
[HD7 General] adesonic:
The Navigon product proves it is possible, I guess other firms may wait to see how much take up there is of WP7 before they commit development resources, or maybe they have something in the pipe now, or maybe Microsoft will release a Bing Maps turn by turn product
[HD7 General] MrLeche:
I agree. Not ALL parts of the world have superb internet access specially when you're off the city. I mean GPS and internet shouldn't be packaged.

Even if Bing maps and google maps ARE for free. With slow data connection and you're on the road, you will 100% miss your turn before your map appears on the phone. That's just silly.

I miss my GMXT on 6.1
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Surely you guys are just using the Satnav solution you used before you purchased your WP7 phone? I still use Tomtom on my HD2 in the car, and bing maps on the HD7 on foot.

It's not that hard, and will do until Satnav eventually makes it onto WP7.

If the lack of satnav is a dealbreaker for you, you shouldn't really have bought an HD7.
[Desire General] 325i.:
I was on the modaco rom but decided to try a different rom from xda. I used ROM manager but the screen was stuck on the HTC screen so i decided to cancel it.

I did the follwing but its still stuck on the HTC screen.

Turn off, hold vol down and press power. Boot into HBOOT. Use vol up and down to move through the menu and power to select. From here, Select recovery. At the screen with the desire and red triangle, press vol up and power. Select Wipe data/factory reset.

Help???
[Desire General] Dafferen:
After you select wipe, go to flash zip from SD card and find your ROMname.zip file. Wait for it to finish and reboot.
[EVO 4G General] aikeru:
I had a unique problem that is now solved and I wanted to share my experience in case anyone else can benefit from it. I was unable to access any Google services over 3G cellular internet, but over WiFi it worked just fine.

I was also able to browse the web over cellular. My EVO is NAND unlocked and been running Fresh's ROM and also CyanogenMod.

Since I first noticed this with Android Market I tried clearing data for it and that didn't work. I also noticed Google Voice couldn't send/receive messages, so tried that as well and could not reinstall as AM wasn't working.

I restored a backup I had made days earlier and had the same results. I tried clearing cache/dalvik cache/etc. still no joy. I tried installing fresh after clearing data/cache/etc. etc. and it still did not change anything.

Finally I called Sprint and they instructed me to do the following:

Enter ##3282## into the phone keypad, select Edit.

Enter a password the tech gave me.

Go to Data -> Press Menu -> Press "Restore". Allow the phone to reboot.

It will go through a lot of different things -- ie: PRL update, firmware update, resetting your "profile" (in settings/update), etc.

It did not work after all of these things so he said he would reset all the "stuff on their end" and after he was finished it worked. I asked and he assured me it had nothing to do with any configuration on my phone. When I asked him to describe what it was he did to fix it, he said he "switched the provider/internet signature" which is on their end. This finally resolved the issue.

So, if you have these same exact symptoms -- you may benefit calling Sprint FIRST before wasting your time trying all those things that I did. :)
[EVO 4G General] mytouchglast:
The problem that I am having is GTalk will hang at trying to connect for a very lengthy time. It works over WiFi just fine but over 3G or 4G it's sporadic. And when GTalk isn't connecting the market won't be able to complete a download either.

If it persists I'll give Sprint a call.
[EVO 4G General] aikeru:
Well... you can certainly try and troubleshoot via your phone. Steps I tried with mine:

- Restarting the phone (lol)

- Clearing specific app data (settings -> applications)

- Reinstalling apps (couldn't do this because related to Market and did not have APKs)

- Clearing Dalvik cache/cache

- Clearing app data

- Restoring a previous backup

- Wiping and reinstalling the ROM

- Trying a different ROM or ROM version

I'm sure there's another one or two but a Sprint call doesn't typically cause you to lose any data on your phone. :) Hope you get your issue resolved.
[EVO 4G General] xellus:
I've been having this issue sporadically ever since I switched from the Hero to the Evo about two weeks ago, and it's very frustrating! After trying to sign in to google talk (or cancelling and redownloading an app download) 10-20 times... it usually starts to work. Connecting to a wifi network always resolves the issue immediately.

I called sprint, and after trying most of the steps you have posted, the best they could do is ask me to call google at 650-253-0000, which I will try later.

I mentioned the "switch the provider/internet signature" idea to the initial rep that I spoke to as well as the "escalation rep" I was transferred to, and they had no idea what I was talking about :(

aikeru , have you experienced the problem again since Sprint's "fix" was applied?
[EVO 4G General] aikeru:
Hmmmm... I haven't experienced the problem anymore. That does sound frustrating. I got the rep to clarify more than once that it was a fix on their end and not on my phone. It's odd, but it's specifically Google services that I had problems with (ie: market, voice, talk, etc.) and not internet and they worked fine over WiFi.

You may just have to keep trying with someone else who is a little "smarter" or follow through the script until they get to that point. :( I wish I knew more technical details but that is all I recall them saying, really.
[EVO 4G General] Augie754:
I'm having the exact same issue as the first poster. I can't connect to Google services when using 3g. WiFi and 4g works fine. This started after I did a nandroid restore yesterday. I did another nandroid restore of an older know good backup and it did the same thing. I called Sprint and they said they did a reset on my phone and still the same thing. The tech also said she had another caller just before me with the same issue that they were not able to fix.

I'm am still using the stock HTC Rom (3.29) with it rooted with Unrevoked.
[EVO 4G General] Wellington Amaral:
So, from your description I've been having the same very problem. Like a couple of people, I had to call sprint a couple of time until they got me to a "senior" tech support. Until, then, they kept on telling me: go to google, call google, email the app developers.... bs bs bs... So, While on the phone with one of their "senior level tech support" (silly that they will insist for a half an hour on the phone with you before they pass you on to these senior techs... even sillier that there is such a division... if they are techs, they all should be trained to deal with these problems.. but anyway).

So the Senior Tech guy told me that they were aware of the problem, that it was indeed on their end and that they they were working on it....

(the first tech to answer the phone should know something like that as opposed to spending 30 mins of my time (each time I call) with "go to the app developers.... all 20 of them, it's their problem").

So, now, I'm supposed to wait until it's working again. Nothing I can do until they have it fixed on their network.

The apps that are not working for me are Market (on and off), Talk, google voice, news rob, Places Directory, Madison Bus, and a few others that use some kind of google service in part or in full, except google maps.

I'm on an Epic 4G, stock rom, up to date, and rooted. And this problem has persisted for 3 days now, in the Madison, WI area (3G/ no 4G).

Hope this clarifies a bit.

Trying to get some help regarding my HTC HD2 Leo for Tmobile. For some reason any windows rom i flash, it will always crash. It will either crash on its own during boot up,after boot up, while im doing something on it, or while i have it locked in my pocket. My phone worked fine before i tried to flash a new windows rom and install a new Android. I went over the steps i did before my phone started being jacked up, i cant seem to figure out what i did wrong.

What i did before the problem:

-Clear storage under windows

- Task 29, held the volume button down once it hit 100%, this put it into boot loader again.

- I flashed the windows rom that was used by dark-stone on his site. ( which i cant post since im new or something) <<< i was trying to use same windows build as him and update my android that he put out on Oct 17th.

- Once my windows rom flashed and it booted up is when it started screwing up, freezing, shutting off by its self after boot, not booting up once i would restart it and also if i left the phone on the tmobile screen it would vibrate like 5-6 times then stop

What i have tried since my issues:

- I tried to flash my old windows roms, with many others that i had before that worked fine. All of these i tried gave me same problems

- i tried to update to the new T-Mobile update that posted on October 20th, and i also tried old version of tmobiles stock roms. Same issues again

- I tried re doing task29, tried new radios, resets of all sorts

I do have HSPL on my phone, always have since i first started flashing roms.

At this point i have a windows rom that can last me couple hours without crashing, so i can text and call. However its really annoying since the phone seems to be fine i doubt i bricked it since it lets me flash new roms and radios. Should i just take off HSPL and reset everything and get this HD2 exchanged, or does anyone by any chance have a way of helping my figure this out, or have any suggestions i could try.

Its keeping me from using windows and even better android :(

Thank you

Youtube got updated and I want to get the latest version. But I don't see it on my AppBrain page under installed apps. So, how does this work? Should I install the AppBrain's latest youtube app and will it override my current app or will there be two instances?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ashwinmudigonda:
Thank you, but I was not looking for the app on the market, but for someone to explain why the app on my phone is not update-able. People on the Tmo G2 forums are saying that by installing this ver of youtube app, the phone freezes and is laggy.

It drives me nuts there are no '<' '>' symbols on the hard keyboard. When you press alt+space it brings up a popup of extra symbols. Anybody have an idea of how we can make this popup editable? I'm pretty sure its not tied to your IME because it doesn't change when I install a new one or use swype, etc.

I'm not sure where to look on this anyone have an idea?

Looking for the alt+space popup in ASOP
[G2 and Desire Z General] theclueless:
im pretty sure you are posting on the wrong section... but

hold alt+K for ], } and >

hold alt+J for [, { and <

hold alt+L for \
[G2 and Desire Z General] kevdawg:
What about a "\"?

EDIT: Ah I see. The same works for "\" however only with the stock keyboard enabled. If you're using swift key, the key you're pressing just repeats.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schwiz:
I thought this was section for brainstorming mods... Where should I repost for better results? Also, alt+L just gives me ')' how do you cycle through them?

Edit: ok I see it is tied to the IME cause switching to a differnt one wouldn't let me cycle through like you explained, switching back to stock keyboard now I can. Guess that sums it up.

yeah I thought about making a little app to do that but hate to waste a quick key for that, although I do have an extra one right now. But I just put in a feature request with smart keyboard pro for them to make the symbols popup editable when pressing alt+space. Hopefully they will do it, shouldn't be to tough.

Just heard back from SmartKeyboard dev and he says the popup from pressing alt+space actually isn't tied to the IME and he can't override it. Still waiting back to hear if he know how to mod it. In the meantime back to the drawing board. Anyone know where this popup lives in ASOP?

I would like the quick keys to be the option. I never use them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
I would like a program or hack to remap the quick keys to something.

one would be switching WiFi on and off.

Perhaps I can find an app in the market that does just that with one click, and i can then set that quick key to that prog?

I'll have to look.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrosilver:
I just learned how to root and flash ROM's for my evo a few days ago and I had a few questions now that I got the basics down.

1) Do I have to do a "data wipe, then cache, then Davlik" if I am just flashing a kernel and/or theme?

2) Is there a way to save NAND backups onto my computer so I have multiple versions of a rom/kernel combination?

3) Is there a way to save sense and all of my programs before I flash a ROM so that after I flash I don't have to type my username/password in all of my programs and reorganize my UI?

4) Are there any useful tips out there to make this process easier?
