I finally received mine today, I don't think the bulge is entirely for aesthetic reasons, they probably need extra room for the coil. While it does bulge out a little bit, the advantage is now that it actually sits flat and makes calibrating the g-sensor much easier, plus the phone is no longer sitting mainly on the camera. I took a few pictures for those that asked.

I'm running Android now, and I was very happy to find that it worked right away without having to go through any fuss. Extremely simple to install, just pop in the new cover and you're done. The cover feels much lighter than the original, might be some kind of fiber weave instead of metal. When you put the phone on the pad, the magnetic field kinda of straightens it out and gives a little beep and status light comes on to indicate connection and begin charging. All in all I'm very satisfied so far.
[HD2 General] huggs:
Thanks, I'll try and work up the guts to disassemble my precious HD2.

I've taken apart some of my other handheld devices before, but I gotta admit this one looks a little intimidating from what I've seen in the disassembly videos.

Thanks for the link, I wasn't even sure they sold just the port:):)
[HD2 General] tc3_racer_001:
doesnt work if the PCB is torn off like mine was. they wanted $230 for a new mainboard so i just held on until i found an almost new phone with cracked digitizer on ebay for $170, ripped the mainboard out and replaced mine. what a PITA job that was. 6 attempts later everything was back as it should and working... have fun and good luck!
[HD2 General] c_legaspi:
thanks for the photos. doesnt look anything like the ad but it still looks ok and still functional. im thinking about getting one
[HD2 General] buzz killington:
With the exception of loose fitting mine has worked very well, but there are quite a few people who could not get it to charge at all. You might have a look at this thread before you dive in

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849839
[HD2 General] c_legaspi:
thanks but too late as i already just made the purchase. i saw that thread after i had already purchased it online. just got to wait now and see if it works.
[HD2 General] pjhollin:
I hope yours works better than mine. The pad light comes on, the activation sound happens, but the HD2 charging light doesn't come on. After about half an hour the pad light goes out, but the HD2 has lost about 1 percent power. This has been happening since I got it Xmas day.

I'll call their CS tomorrow, but I expect I'll be shipping it back. At MY expense!! That really bugs me that companies can legally make the consumer pay for return shipping of a defective product.
[HD2 General] c_legaspi:
dam that sucks then. hope you get it all worked out. let us know any way how their cs is. maybe you can ask to have them ship you a new back cover instead of getting it all shipped back, unless you just dont want to deal with the hassle of it all anymore.
[HD2 General] pjhollin:
I'll let you know how my conversation with their CS goes. It's not much of a hassle if I have to return it; I've got all the packing and boxes and a pre-printed return shipping label. When I said I'd probably be shipping it back, I meant in order to get a replacement, not for a refund. According to their terms, they only give refunds for unused items. I suppose if the product simply doesn't work with HD2s, then I could get a refund. But I'd rather have a working unit, so I'll give them one more shot.

BTW, I'm running the stock ROM (never flashed, never Androided) on a T-Mobile HD2. I wonder if the powermat works on the international versions but not the T-Mo version.

Moderators - I'm wondering if this thread might be better placed in the Accessories sub-forum.
[HD2 General] c_legaspi:
you know i was kind of wondering the same thing for which hd2's that it may or may not work on. ill be using mine ona telstra t9193. looks as though one of the users on this post had success with the powermat on a t-moble hd2.
[HD2 General] buzz killington:
Mine is working with a T-mobile USA unit. Bought it back in April.

I'm really curious about this, one of the guys who's not getting it to charge put a microammeter to the unit and he's getting current. That means both the pad and cover are doing what they're supposed to do, but the phone is just not charging. I don't know if a replacement would change anything. It almost sounds to me like there must be some coating on the contacts in some units that's preventing contact from being made, but that wouldn't make any sense at all either.
[HD2 General] pjhollin:
I callled Powermat CS. The CSR (Jennie) was very nice. She ran through the usual questions and determined the unit was probably defective. Because it is still in the 30-day period, they will pay for the return postage, via UPS pickup in 7-10 business days. That's nice of them.

She did say she had no indication that the powermat doesn't work with HD2s. I mentioned several people had posted on forums that they had troubles, but she insisted Powermat had no records of that.

It's nice to hear that some have had success. Hopefully my unit was just a defective one. I did notice that when the powermat HD2 battery door was placed on the pad without being attached to the HD2, the pad's lights came on and it made the expected clicking sound, so some portion of the system is working properly.

I'm glad to hear of the success some people have had. Hopefully the problem isn't with my HD2 connectors.
[HD2 General] c_legaspi:
glad to hear cs is good. just got mine put in and so far no problems. this induction charging is not as good as my palm pre touchstone charger (quality wise) but it is what it is. i mainly bought it because i didnt want the usb connection to get really loose as my sony x1a did.
[HD2 General] pjhollin:
Well, I got my replacement powermat, but it doesn't charge my HD2 either. I tested the voltage on the powermat battery cover while it was on the mat and it registered 5 volts, as it should. I even tried scraping the HD2's contacts. And I ran wires from the battery door directly to the contacts on the HD2. Nothing worked. Seems like my HD2 has a problem.

A question for those of you for whom it's working: Does the red charging light on your HD2 come on when it's charging with the powermat? Mine doesn't.

Guess I'll have to see about a refund, although I'm not holding out much hope since the problem likely is with the charging circuit on my HD2.
[HD2 General] c_legaspi:
yes the red lights come on. the power mat will beep and the power mat light also lights up.
[HD2 General] pjhollin:
Thanks for the info c_legaspi about the HD2 charging light being on. Mine doesn't come on when on the powermat, so it's obviously not working. The powermat itself beeps and lights up and the battery door has voltage, so that's working OK. Oh well, time to move on.

Glad to hear it's working for you.
[HD2 General] jamesbryant:
There was a similar issue with using the pal pre and touchstone mod. It seems some (older)HD2s have live contacts, while newer HD2s have dead contacts by the sim. It could have something to do with the redesign of the car kit and I am thinking that they didn't bother to activate the contacts on the newer models.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=762783
[HD2 General] jamesbryant:
If anyone who is running stock rom and the powermat isn't working, could you try to power on the car nav and see if that makes it work? Maybe the stock rom will activate the contacts but only in car mode on some HD2s. Does that make sense? Got mine and it doesn't work. Don't want to load WM if it still wont work.
[HD2 General] dluther:
From "Terminal Velocity":

"Don't worry. I got my coffee-tron **** defender."

In all seriousness, I just bought the HD2 powermat kit at Wal-Mart for 29.95. Interestingly enough, that's exactly what the Powermat site wants for just the back cover.
[HD2 General] Pedro G:
i see it has alot of bad reviews on the walmart site.

how well has yours been working dluther?
[HD2 General] dluther:
Sorry it took so long to respond to this, I really didn't plan on watching this thread, but I just did a little "ego surfing" and saw your post...

My power mat has been working like a champ. I got the HD2 version that comes with a special back for around $30.00, and I'm very happy with it. It works so well I bought another one from a guy in the marketplace so I could have one at work and one at home.
[HD2 General] mooseman2142:

[HD2 General] JonnieLasVegas:
Maaaaaaan! I'm so upset about this powermat. I shouldn't be mad at the powermat...it works fine....on my girlfriends HD2....BUT NOT MINE!!!! Grrr. Oh well I guess it's not a total waste, seeing as how it works with hers, but damn I really wanted my HD2 to work with it.

PowerMat not working with HD2

Got one today as a gift. Not charging at all and no light on HD2 comes on when set on pad... pad lights up and makes noise though.

Am I just screwed? Has anyone any new leads?
[HD2 General] Damien13N:
Powermat says issue has been addressed

Spoke with Powermat this morning and they readily admit they have had numerous complaints about the hd2 not charging. They informed me they did uncover an issue with some hd2's and the problem "has been addressed".

They are sending me a replacement mat even though I explained the product is working fine... lights up and makes noise when placed on pad, leads on battery cover door show 5volts on pad, contacts touch phone, so it is working; my hd2 just isn't taking the charge.

Without saying so they gave me the impression the replacement they send may be different than one on the store shelf if I return and exchange.

Will report back and update after I have a replacement and see if the new one works.
[HD2 General] Damien13N:
Took UPS a week to pick mine up due to Powermat entering my zip code wrong in the UPS system. Just picked up yesterday. Powermat reps assured me they are sending me a receiver that will work with my HD2. We'll see.

No joy from powermat

Got my replacement Powermat today and as expected it does not work with my HD2 either. And this after Powermat informed me that "the problem has been addressed" and "we will send you one that works with your HD2".

Can we say false advertising, defective product, misrepresentation?

POWERMAT DOES NOT WORK WITH MANY HD2 don't let the company fool you into buying an ugly plastic back cover for your HD2 that does nothing.
[HD2 General] Bence:
I've received powermat today...

After placing my hd2 on it, the screen turns on, but it doesnt charge...

[HD Mini General] verminlt:
Hello, I want to know how to disable a light sensor? When I changed the broken touchscreen for my phone (htc hd mini) I broke the light sensor and it doesn`t work now. On the call my screen goes black and can`t end call or other things. I have tried many programs (advanced configs or sth like this, htc tweaks for diamond and HD, but it doesn`t solve my problem). Maybe is it possible to uninstall the drivers for the light sensor? Please help me! :\
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
Black screen during call (near your ear) has to do with proximity sensor, not light sensor.
[HD Mini General] hazhysalon:
and if that is the case, then it is normal because this is one of the intuitive feature of htc hd mini. Check the youtube channel of htc.
[HD Mini General] bine93:
hi! i find solution from another forum:cool::cool:

In the registry... HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin Change the value of "Enabled" from 1 to 0. That brings back the default WinMo dialer. You also lose the proximity sensor capabilities as well. (as that is associated with the HTC software side of things) So unless you have a S2U2 type program that disables the screen during a call, it will remain active.

Hello ppl,

One question please help me with odd setting i can not resolve.:mad:

Is about importing pictures from my Mini ( taken by camera ) to windows, when using WMDC to import pictures, it creates allways a duplicate in my sync folder on computer. If not attentive i can have many copies of same file, they are numbered like < name(x).jpg > where x stand for copy number.

I tried setting in import preferences, none seems to work.

I do not want to have pictures deleted from device...i want to show to other ppl the pictures i took using my phone.. that's the ideea of abums.. i think.

Is there a trick here that i miss ? I tried on a HD2 and a Mini, both have same problem.

Thanks in advance.

You can pretty much forget it. The screen is glued to the part you mention and the middle frame. You basicly have to remove te screen aswell as the sensorbuttons.

Hello boys,

I'm a beginner android programmer.

In my application I want active wifi, but I've a problem when test my application on my HTC DESIRE.

This is The code that I've write:

if(cur.getString().equals("false"))
if((wifiManager.getWifiState() != WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_DISABLED) && wifiManager.isWifiEnabled())
wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);
else if(cur.getString().equals("true"))
if((wifiManager.getWifiState() != WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_ENABLED) && !wifiManager.isWifiEnabled())
wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(true);

The problem is that, if the Wifi is enabled my application turn off the wifi, but don't work if the wifi is disabled and I want enable.

NOTE: I've insert this permission in the manifest file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"></uses-permission>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"></uses-permission>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"></uses-permission>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS"></uses-permission>

Why the Wifi not enabled? Is a problem of Sense Interface? Can you help me? :confused::confused::confused:

Hi all,

I'm running WildPuzzle ROM (latest stable build) on my rooted NextG Wildfire and notice that Voice commands only work if you 'put on an american accent'. My kids think this is a great game, but seriously there seems to be a release on the HTC Australian site for the Desire Froyo update which includes Voice Search for Australians.

Anyone know if it is possbile to extract the apk for the Voice Search from the Telstra Desire ROM Update?

I would very much to flash this on my Wildfire running WildPuzzle instead of the USA voice version!

hi there ppl.

some confusions i have regarding installation of themes.

1. will the phone memory gets erased when i install themes via recovery mode? ( will the apps n the data on the phone gets formated?)

2. my hero is android 2.1. i want themes which appear like the nexus one UI

so please guide me to find UI theme like the Nexus One :)

3. to be other the safer side, im even downloading the Hero RUU roms of SouthEastAsia from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559622

if i later get back to this RUU rom, will i be entitled to updates to the phone?

thank you guys :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] yasin12:
Ill try to answer your questions as best as i can.

1. No if u install a theme, your apps wont get erased. However, make sure that you install a theme that is compatible with the rom you have on your hero.

2. The nexus one ui is the standard google ui. You can get a similar homescreen from the android market called launcher pro. As far as i know there are no nexus one themes for hero.

3. You will recieve updates if you switch to an official rom.

Hope that helps
