I'm using the StealthGuard bodykit along with the OEM beltclip holster.

So far so good!

I had the StealthGuard bodykit lying around, I hadn't used it since I had a case on my DZ, but I switched over to the beltclip holster and couldn't stand keeping my phone "naked".

But it's working well so far and the fit is perfect; both the holster and bodykit.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nighte:
Seems like I was the last person to post, but bumping this thread so that the other members can see the OEM clip I'll post again instead of editing my post :p

It's a very good belt clip, it stays on. So far, I haven't had any trouble with it, my only wish is that the little tip where the phone gets held in place could be angled a bit higher so that it doesn't get cause in the earphone grill when I'm trying to put the phone back, but I'm getting use to it now.

I'm talking about in photo #2 the very top right where the little piece of plastic is sticking out. It's just a millimeter or two too low, causing it to get caught in the earphone grill when I'm putting the phone back (doesn't happen every time though).

However if you have any idea as to how I can angle the tip a bit higher, please let me know!

thanks for the pics. i just ordered the HTC oem Holster too from Amazon. seidio took too long and im not waiting anymore, lol
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Kuntao:
I too had the same problem but amplified because of an extra lip caused by the invisibleShield applied in the same area. I found a fix, but it wont be pretty. You can wedge something in between the bottom of the arm (where the two "pillars" are and the top of the back part of the case. This will raise the position of the tip of the arm so it doesn't go into the speaker grill. I used double sided tape a corner of a plastic business card

Now that I have the HTC holster. I'm only seeing one way the spring hinge part can get caught in the ear section. And its if you don't put the bottom of the phone all the way into the holster. I've yet to get the phone stuck on mine

man these are not hard to find, but its hard to find a store that has them in stock via google search.

ill have to admit, that these seidio people have been lagging on these clips. they still dont have one for the MT4G either, i bought a clip holster from tmobile which works well enough.
[HD2 General] wolle:
Hi,

I have a HTC HD2 and a car audio system Pioneer DEH-P70BT. With my old HTC TYTN WM6.1 I was able to send multiple contacts to the phonebook of the car audio via bluetooth.

Now with my new HD2 I was not yet able to send one contact to my radio so that I see the name and all phone numbers of this contact. I already tried different ways and software.

The HD2 and the Pioneer are succesfully paired and I set Bluetooth to the visible mode.

My old software I used http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/details.aspx?387 (IR+BT Manger) seems not to work anymore. So actually I'm not able to send any contact to my car system.

Does somebody have an idea or mybe a solution ?

Cheers Wolle

i understand what they all do. my main question is. higher the frequency the faster or slower? cause im tired of lag from lockscreens and apps i use.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Higher frequency is faster. Is the lag you get more like a delay in touch screen input rather than a stuttery slide? If that's the case, you should try some of the newer kernels like ZenKernel for Sense ROMs or the Uncapped kernels for CM6.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FRuiTBoOT:
While its in download mode try unpluging it from the USB port and plugging it back in...Works sometimes. Or power down the phone, plug in the usb cable..start up ODin then power the phone on into Download mode...should recognize it.

Or you need the current Samsung Driver for your PC. OR...just or you can search the Vibrant bible.

Anyone got a problem with the fit of the sim cover?

I didn't notice any gapping when I took the phone out of the box but after fitting sim card, when I replace the sim cover there is a distinct gap....very small, much less than 1mm.

I've had the cover on an off half a dozen times but can't get it to fit back snugly
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
hi eric,

lucky me, i've taken the cover off and on a few times, and everything is as it was... but a friend of mine has your problem too, i told him this place and he will post soon!

Hi!

I've the same problem.

The gap of the SIM cover is about 0.5mm.

As far as I remember it didn't exist when I unpacked the phone.

even without SIM and microSD the gap exists...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashmore:
Not only a poor fit and a gap! but the quaity of it is just pathetic!

It crumbled and kinked between my fingers the first time I tried to remove it.

Why on earth bother to make a perfect alloy housing and chassis and then stick a flimsy piece of plastic on the thing! It should be made from alloy too!

Not happy customer here
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrence750:
agreed, mine doesn't stick outwards, it's just not a snug fit.. i've almost broken mine aswell taking it off!

definitely not the build quality i'm used to from HTC..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjennings:
Didn't work for me. I've tried perhaps 2 dozen times, always get the gap .

It is clicking into place though so at least its secure

The gap between the screen and the case is also slightly wider at the top than the bottom. Maybe the bottom cover is fitting perfectly and its the rest of the case that's slightly off?!?!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazzuli:
You guys probably have phones from some early production batch since mine fits perfectly, no problems what so ever.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
First of all you cant make the cover from alluminum - the antenna woun't work. Second - my phone had a nasty gap when I bought it, but when I installed my SIM I took great care in closing the cover. The gap isn't there any more. You have to position the cover correctly in fully open position, then press LIGHTLY on the cover where the two locking teeth are ang GENTLY slide it in position. It worked for me. And remember that you have to be very gentle with it, because it can break easyly and AFAIK there are no replacements for now...

Sim Card Too Big?

Just got mine today and I had the same issue, think mine was because my sim card (a t-mobile one I've had for, dunno, at least 4 or 5 years now?) was slightly too long. I noticed the little ridges on the inside of the cover were leaving small dents in the sim card where I'd been shoving, so I used a nail file to remove a tiny amount from the blank end of the card and it seems to shut a lot better now.

Going to to try to fix the gap on the battery cover next...

Don't get me wrong, love the phone, but it has got to be one of the worst unboxing experiences ever, forcing you to fiddle with these two ****ty little plastic covers before you can use your expensive new toy. I seriously thought I'd broken my battery cover trying to get it off before I've even got to unwrapped the battery! :eek:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alltruism:
I completely agree....battery cover was a real pain, but managed it ok.

Then bent the sim cover in half taking it off...broken before I could even put the SIM in! Seems they made the cover out of the flimsiest plastic available, which is particularly bad because a) it doesn't have any "grippable" bits to make it easy to remove and b) it actually contains part of the antenna
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HacKage:
I don't have any gap, but from what I've read in a lot of threads people seem to be holding it at both sides and sliding it off, so that when it actually comes off you are pressing both sides towards each other and that is how it is bending and kinking in the middle. If I remember correct this is NOT the way they show you how to remove it.While some eople may have genuine problems with it, I think it is a bit rich to take off the sim cover off their own way and then complain that it is damaged.

The battery cover, there is again, a certain way to take it off and put it back on. I have had mines off and on around 10 times and never with any bother. Maybe people are being a bit too heavy handed?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alltruism:
The way they show to remove it in the Quick Start leaflet didn't work for me, couldn't get enough grip on the cover. The SIM / SD card cover is made of unusually flimsy material for some reason, and both covers are unusually and unnecessarily fiddly to remove / replace
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldskool73:
well god damn, I just managed to bend mine too taking it off, in the tiny thin bit above the charging port. If you are applying and side force when it comes off this is bound to happen as it's almost right in the middle and the plastic there's so thin it buckles easily, but sliding it off without any side force is next to impossible, really really bad design!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HacKage:
The easiest way to take it off that involves no side pressure whatsoever is if you hold the phone face down, and put both thumbs on the sim cover at either side and push away with your thumbs.

The sim cover is held on by 2 latches, one at the side of the sim, one at the side of the micro-sd card. These need to be depressed in order for the sim cover to come off.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alltruism:
I tried it that way but it just didn't work - maybe I have unusually slippery thumbs :)

I didn't want to press too hard doing it that way, as the fingers on the back of the phone would be pressing the screen, and if I've got to break something I'd rather it be the sim cover :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You're full of poo!

Of course it can be made from alloy! lazy ass HTC!

Why the hell we have to treat it as though its egg shells just to insert SIM card or SD Card?

Regardless of any "good fit" the "sd card/sim card" cover is lose and moves and creaks, with normal use.

As stated many times, this is no cheap second rate device, we pay a premium for them and they should damn well be perfect!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
VERY disappointing from HTC. I called their customer services about this and they were less than helpful... downright inept, in fact. She suggested I return the phone to the vendor. I am returning to Amazon, in the hope the replacement will be better.

I did come up with a fix of sorts - a few tiny blobs of blu-tack placed strategically on the underside of the cover does help a lot. I would be satisfied with this were I not concerned about the point in the future when I want to sell it...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
This is exactly how I did it. Took a little massaging, but it came off no problem. Put it back on the same way. Just reversed the push with pull. I did it a couple times to test it. Sometimes I could get a gap, some a bulge in the middle, some perfect fit. I even got it to be lower than the phone body once. It's all finesse. Be gentle like it's a new born baby.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
Oh, and a tip to those who say it won't work. The first couple of times my thumbs kept slipping off, but I washed my hands really well, and now the grip is easy.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatherD:
It works!

Spot on .. tried several times before doing it this way, there was a more definite click as it located. The gap is now very very small and even, no rocking about at all :)

EDIT: the 'flushness' lasted about a day, the cover is back to rocking from side to side!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
Yep. If you take off the sim cover, and look closely at the phone, you will see a little guide in between the SD card and the sim card. There is a guide also on the inside of the sim cover. The guide on the cover needs to go underneath the guide on the phone for it to not have a bulge. That's why you need to push in the middle when putting it back on. Otherwise if you just push with your fingers on the outside the guide will be on top, and that is wrong. See the pic, or open and look at your phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
No, it CAN'T be made of metal. If the whole back of the phone is metal, then you will either have the antenna "shoot" the radio waves into your head when talking, or you will have to listen to HTC's CEO explaining to you that you are holding your phone the wrong way and that's why you are getting dropped calls. Get some proper education before saying "of course...".

And you DON'T have to treat it as though it's egg shells. You have to treat it for what it is. It's a plastic cover. It's designed to be treated like a plastic cover and it should be treated like a plastic cover. The fact that the phone costs so much should make you handle it with due respect and not whine about it not being dumb-proof.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I guarantee my education far exceeds yours :D Anyway this wasnt a personal attack on you eventhough your "higher" intelligence thought it was, hahaha. Of course it can be made from alloy(not a metal btw), the antenna just needs to be insulated from the cover itself. I doubt it would be a difficult achievement for HTC especially since the entire body and chassis has been crafted from a single block of alloy. oh I just made a silicone mould of my backcover and Im thinking about using a clear polymer or fibreglass, I'll let you know how much better it is than the original once Im done.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jords12:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy - an alloy is a metal with other metals or non-metals dissolved in it. And also, having a metal covering the antenna is likely to attenuate the signal.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
Hahaha - your higher education clearly doesn't include reading. I said 'proper' education. Like RF engineering. If you had any idea about that you would know that regardles of using pure metal or an alloy, you are still using RF reflective material because they are both conductive. So you have to position the antenna outside the metal casing, because if it is inside, the casing itself will act as a reflector and direct the energy towards your face. There are other factors at work here, but to keep it simple, I'm not going to go that deep. So for now you have to have layer of alloy, layer of insulation and the antenna. That's for now. Unfortunately for you, it's not a good idea to touch the antenna itself. That messes up with its resistance and that messes up with its emitting/receiving properties because it's no longer matched to the resistance of the transceiver and the air. Simply said - if you touch the antenna, you'll be holding your phone in a wrong way. So, you'll have to add another layer of insulation on top of the antenna. And now you have layer of alloy, layer of insulation, the antenna itself and another layer of insulation. And to make it more fun, you have to do this about a mm thick.

There is a reason for HTC to make the body from alluminium and leave the two covers plastic. It's not that they can't make it. It's because of the laws of physics and RF propagation ;).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Regardless of any plastics used do you really think that will save us from high frequency radio waves?:D

Plastic is a good insulator right? whereas Alloy is a very good conductor correct? why not have an alloy cover with a very small insulating piece between the antenna? have a look at the actual antenna its merely a piece of Gold or guilded material shim stuck to a piece of plastic (which is quite chunky plenty of room for insulating material!)

Thinking about it, once an RF is ommitted from or admitted to the device the plastic is insulating it inwards towards the body whereas a good conductor would allow it to flow in both directions.

For goodness sakes we all stick these devices next to our heads and you honestly think that flimsy little piece of plastic is saving you? no offence but I am laughing my head off here.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
OMG! Really, get a PROPER education! Non conductive materials are generlly EM transperent and conductive materials are non transperant. It's not the plastic that shields your head, but a metalic foil or plate inside the phone. And I know it works because I personally have measured it. Not on the DHD but all the phones have similar design. The energy emmited towards the front of the phone is several times less than the energy emmited towards the back. And please go to your kitchen, get some alluminum foil, wrap tightly the back of the phone, see what happens to the signal with the cover designed by someone without a clue in RF engineering and enough of this! If you are so unhappy with the plastic covers, sell your phone buy something you are happy with and stop whining!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berek9999:
I'd give up digging that hole if I were you - every time you open your mouth you're just showing how little you know about the subject. You started off by saying that an alloy isn't a metal - which made you look like a complete idiot - and then you just went downhill from there.

Give it up before you look an even bigger prat than you do at the moment - oh, I nearly forgot - "no offence" of course.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No offence taken, I admit my mistake with Alloy not being a metal, however, you obviously have nothing better to do and I wouldnt expect you to understand anyway :D

Nothing you or any other know-it-all can say will lessen the fact that the DHD build quality has crap flimsy plastic covers that should have been made from a more resilient material. Its the final thing Im going to add to this thread, oh except that if I'd had wanted an a-holes opinion I would have farted! no offence.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
First of all, it was you that said about someone else that he is "full of poo", so definitely you wanted an a-hole opinion. Second, it's the know-it-alls that say "of course it can be made of something else", without knowing the facts (or at least the physics) behind HTC's decision. The only other material suitable for the job, that I know of, is fiberglass. In fact antennas' radomes are generaly made of fiberglass and that would seem the logical choise for the covers, but there might be some other fact that made HTC use plastic. Maybe it won't be flexible enough to be opened and closed, or difficult to make so thin, or something else, I don't know. I'm an RF engineer and don't know s... about fiberglass production. The fact is that there is no self-respecting company in the world that would want to make bad products (take it from a man that runs his own company) and HTC won't be where it is, if they did that. For the majority of people the covers need to be opened and closed only once (maybe twice if they have purcased a bigger SD card) and that's it. If closed properly the "gap" between the SIM/SD cards cover and the body is less than the "gap" between the screen and the lip. The "gap" between the battery cover and the body is even smaller. There is no moving, or creaking with normal use. If you expect the cover to withstand anything you might do to it... well I've seen a thread here that someone managed to bump the alluminium body, so I gues that is also a bad material for you.
