[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trotterjerry:
WOW - November 8th and no response.

I bought the one that was advertised as - The HTC HD2 US: An On The Go Solutions Exclusive

Unlocked GSM, US & International 3G (850/2100Mhz)

The HTC HD2 US is our flagship product. Starting off with an HD2 Telstra , we remove the Telstra ROM, and install the pure HTC HD2 ROM. This enhances your product in several important ways: Removes all Telstra software, data-settings, links and branding

Solves known bugs and problems on the Telstra units

Adds HTC applications and advanced functionality

Adds automatic setup of data/mms settings just by inserting your sim!

Qualifies for future HTC HD2 Windows Mobile updates

No Annoying Programs / Links from Telstra (Bloatware)

Rom: Pure HTC WM 6.5 EURO Version (1.72 Latest Release)

The manila version is 1.0.1921

This answers a - no bloatware - I can attest.

b) Onthegosolutions has been reputable - no problems and I have had the phone for over 3 months.

c) I haven't fiugred out ROM updates perhaps someone else can answer. But I am not really interested in reflashing either - unless there was a significant change. To date I haven't seen any except perhaps adding more quicklinks on the home page - not worth a reflash.

d) I have used several of the cabs from this site and have not found any issues. I even have been able to use several of the programs I used to use on my old Axim x51v (note: I stll miss by d-pad), but now that I have a 32 gig sd card - I am at least a little closer to my beloved device.

Lastly, I am on AT&T and have no issues other than the usual connection issues you get with AT&T ;-( . But I can't beat the price as my wife has an iPhone and combined we are paying $100 a month for both of us with full internt usage. I hope this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick76:
Thank you for your feedback trotterjerry. Since posting this query I have done a fair amount of "soul searching" and I am now at the point that I am not sure what I am going to do. After waiting so long for Windows Phone 7 details to become confirmed, I was so disappointed that without MS Exchange Server, there is no way to "cable-sync" with Office on my PC. This is the main issue that pushed me towards the HD2.

I have been limping along on my Touch Pro 2 for business use and iPhone for personal use, however, the "touch experience" on the TP2 (and internet for that matter) leave a lot to be desired. Actually, it is kind of ironic that, if you take Windows Mobile 6.x and previous out of the mix, one of the most capable devices for syncing with Outlook and Office is the iPhone (through MobileMe).

So, looking at it from this perspective now, I am considering WP7 with a hosted Exchange account because it shouldn't be that much different from a cost perspective than using MobileMe.

I will know better in a couple of weeks as I just bought my son a Samsung Focus for Christmas to replace his iPhone (his request). Little does he know that he is going to have to share his new toy with his dad while he is home from University on Christmas break! :-)

from: TechCrunch

Google had originally wanted to launch the Nexus Two device alongside Android 2.3, the next release of their mobile operating system, also known as “Gingerbread”. That’s not going to happen . The Nexus Two has been delayed. But it appears that Google is full steam ahead on the Gingerbread release. In fact, it may be hitting the Nexus One in the next few days.

This news comes by way of a tweet today from one*Alvaro Fuentes Vasquez. While Vasquez’s Twitter profile may not show much, his LinkedIn profile reveals that he’s on the “leadership team” of the Open Handset Alliance, one of the governing bodies backing Android. In other words, this guy should know what he’s talking about.

His Tweet today:

Preparen sus Nexus One (Developer version) para la actualización vía OTA de Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) para los próximos días :-DThat translates (roughly) to:

Prepare your Nexus One (Developer version) for Android OTA update 2.3 (Gingerbread) in the next few days:-DThis news, spotted by the blog The Android Phone , goes along nicely with the rumors from last week that Gingerbread would land on November 11 . For those keeping score at home, November 11 is this coming Thursday — a few days away.

The Nexus One roll-out plan also goes along with the way Google rolled out Android 2.2, late at night back in May . Further, a strange Flash Player for Android note seems to suggest an Android update is imminent as well.

And remember, a couple weeks ago, the Gingerbread Man landed at Google HQ.

Awesome I hope they can port it to Windows Mobile soon.
[General Topics] Dougefresh91:
Figures. I just got Froyo yesterday on my Vibrant. I'm really looking forward to the Nexus 2. I'll most likely be ditching this phone for that if it's specs are up to par.
[General Topics] KCRic:
Read about this on CNET, says it should hit on Nov. 11th. I smell something and it's not gingerbread.

I'm not saying it[gingerbread release] won't happen but the fact that the Nexus Two was thrown in there:confused: I believe Google was quoted in saying that they don't plan on making a nexus successor. It was a phone that was meant to showcase the ability of open source and also to push Android to the front of the mobile os market. It did it's duty and to this day is still on of the most bad a$$ phones out there so I won't hold my breath on a successor let alone, believe the statements claimed in an article mentioning an imaginary phone which resides in the same place as unicorns and a decent new Resident Evil game.

[Surround General] XeNoMoRpH1030:
I'm sure you all have read this, but if not, here you go: http://wpcentral.com/htc-surround-s-microsd-card-slot-probably-there-not-easy-get

The HTC Surround appears to have a microSD slot, but it's covered by a piece of metal as seen in the picture below:

I'm personally not too concerned since 16GB seems like more than enough, but I'm sure people will be asking if it can be upgraded or not. We really won't know till someone tears into it which is more likely since it was released today.

*UPDATE*

I just came across this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4015/htc-surround-review-pocket-boombox/8

It doesn't seem that difficult to get to actually, just a bit of disassembly required. It apparently comes with a SanDisk Class 4 16GB microSD card.
[Surround General] Stan City:
AT&T kills another great device! They also did it to the Tilt2 when they removed the 3.5 mm jack from that device. Somebody needs to fire an executive in that company.
[Surround General] elrooster:
T-Mobile did the same thing with the HTC HD7 but someone managed to swap cards and the HD7 worked with a 32GB microSD.
[Surround General] The HTC Geek:
Actually, It's not AT&T's fault. It's just that WP7 doesn't support swapping out memory yet, like say an Android phone.
[Surround General] fillmanw1:
Bought my surround today. ATT said there would be a patch comming out and not to insert a sd card yet....
[Surround General] Stan City:
Yeah, we know you can't swap memory yet but the devices in Europe allows you to upgrade memory capacity before the 1st boot. AT&T choose to remove that option on the Surround not the Focus. AT&T's fault...
[Surround General] serialtoon:
Just picked up my phone. Very solid device.
[Surround General] teoami:
I got my surround yesterday, and so far, I am pleased.

Has anyone actually looked under that piece yet? A teardown of the Mozart revealed a similar metal piece that was not hiding a microSD card.

[Surround General] XeNoMoRpH1030:
Good find. I'm still waiting for mine, so someone else will have to dig into it.
[Surround General] Stan City:
Anybody care to break down their Surround?
[Surround General] panflute:
Got my Surround 2 days ago

Nice phone, well built, the OS is slick with a lot of promise. Active tiles are slick, the Zune software on the phone & PC works great. In 2 days I managed to get back my BBC stream, got some video news, GPS is great, loaded some of my movies, set up my email, my contacts we transferred from my old sym at the AT&T store and I had no problems transferring them to the phone, and there are 100s of free apps already out and more coming every day. Pretty soon all of the developers will port over their apps and all will be fine again. Many apps use the GPS to find your area and cater what they deliver according to where you live. I paid $200 for it. I MAY have preferred to have the HD7, not sure since I haven't seen it and held it yet, but the Surround is really fine and if I decide to change or upgrade later on I wont lose anything. While we all get used to old habits and the way things work I thing this OS is an improvement and half the fun is setting up our toys the way we want them. Flash will be added to IE soon, upgrades will come from MS, we will be able to access the file system, more customizations will become available. The screen is twice the size of my Dash 3G. I am hoping an IRC client will be ported over soon since that is what I miss the most.
[Surround General] serialtoon:
I completley agree with everything you said. The only thing that kills me is the battery life. It is down right terrible. I dont fiddle too much with my phone as im usually too busy to do so, but when i do want to use it, seems like the battery is just not up to the task.
[Surround General] panflute:
Tips & tricks

Have a look in the Windows 7 general discussion..there's a tips and tricks thread at the top that give you ways to lengthen battery life. There are quite a few things to do like time out the screen sooner, turn off geocaching, etc. It should help. So far I haven't seen any spare batteries for sale on Ebay but they will come. This is a GREAT phone.
[Surround General] XeNoMoRpH1030:
Updated the first post.
[Surround General] Fullmetal99012:
I would, but:

1) Haven't bought it yet and

2) I'd probably end up breaking it.
[Surround General] XeNoMoRpH1030:
I was going to buy a 32gb class 4 card (Kingston), but $100 is half the price of the phone and I couldn't justify it. I also loaded a decent amount of stuff on it and have 9.7gb left. I think I can hold off for a while till prices drop.
[Surround General] Wingnutt54:
If you look at the teardown article further you will see that under the metal cover is a metal pad with foam and under that is a 16gb micro sd card. Not sure its worth it as someone pointed out it will cost a bit for a 32gb micro sd card and you will void any warranty. As for the post that said WP7 does not support changing cards out I thought one of the 3 phones with WP7 that AT&T sells had a removable sd card and onboard as well. That would make more sence that the drive with the ROM needs to static but if you have that the os should support a removable card its just that the surround does not have build in memory so the micro sd cannot be removed.
[Surround General] XeNoMoRpH1030:
The Samsung Focus has an accessible microSD slot. I believe it also has 8gb internally.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBionicChef:
I had to reflash my phone after trying to install a new font and it not working, the flash worked fine and the phone restarted etc. I then rooted with superoneclick, still fine, but as I tried jit all seemed to be working fine until the phone rebooted and is now stuck on the sony ericsson screen.

I've tried to update via sues and pc companion and also flash tool but to no avail as the phone doesn't get recognised in flash mode.

Also I know the phone is actually on but just stuck on the se screen as i can here incoming txt alerts.

Please could someone give me some pointers as to how to fix this??

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:
I just switch over to android from the iPhone.

It seems that android is a missing one of the key features that is very curial, which is the ability select text from Text Messages and be able to copy/paste it elsewhere.

I often have times where I would like to copy a txt message I receive and be able to paste it somewhere else (in a browser or into another txt message).

Is there a solution for this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t1h5ta3:
long press...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:
Doesn't work. When I long press, the only options I have is to call the contact, forward the message, etc. No option to select the text and copy it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] H2D2:
I know I've been able to do it in the past so I opened a text message to prove it to myself and lo and behold I can't long-press to select/copy/paste either! Must be the rom I'm using (MDJ FroYo Revolution 1.4), can't think of any other reason though surely something as fundamental as this should be cooked into any rom regardless of flavour?! Weird.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] squish099:
Long press works on miui.. Just hold your finger on the text message copy message text.. Hold finger on input box and paste... Works here and on every rom I've tried..

Sent from my Mytouch HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zythyr:
Ya, I think its an issue with the ROM. I just switch from FroyoStone to MDJ Froyo Sense Clean 2.3, and it still doesn't have the Copy/Paste feature in the Messaging app.

My friend has a Droid, running Froyo 2.2, and he has the copy/paste feature in his Messaging app.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] secano:
My current setup does have the ability to Copy/Paste in the messaging app. The way I do it is long press the selected text and press "Forward". Then you can long press on the input box and select the "Copy All" (it's the only option). Also works pasting in the browser url bar.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
Quick solution is to long press the message and select forward, then you can edit it and send.

[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-venue-pro/pd

Unfortunately it states there is 8GB / 16GB storage which is not removable.

Looks like if there is an SD socket it won't be accessible without voiding the warranty, difficult to say for sure...
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
Mind you, I suspect they're not allowed to mention SD slots "officially" anyway. I'm still hoping the base model is 8GB of on-board NAND and the 16GB model has an 8GB card in the slot as well.
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
16GB is enough for me. Just as long as it's not 8GB, I'm happy.
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
Yeah me too. 16 Is good. I am more upset it isn't available for order.
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
Also interesting is it list 900/1700/2100 bands. So no European specific models? I hope thats what that means
[Venue Pro General] Se4nH4x:
No you don't get it. This is the USA website so it will show you a model that WILL WORK IN THE USA.

It just so happens that the bands are also supposed in Europe (900/2100).

Europe models however do not have the 1700 band.

So there are European specific models out there (just checkout clove UK and expansys UK).

Australia also a model that is 1900/2100.
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
I am aware of that. What I am wondering if expansys is wrong info and there is only one model that covers all. Nokia does it. This is the official website posting not 3rd party like expansys. Get it :)
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
Is there a dell/uk? What do they list
[Venue Pro General] Silent Shark:
This is (possibly) terrible news.

But, you could interpret it to say it contains 8 or 16GB of Non-Removable storage, leaving the microSD slot free for expansion.

If you look at the official Samsung website for the focus, there is no mention of the microSD slot. All it says is: "8GB ROM On Board Memory". I hope that this is the same situation.
[Venue Pro General] Silent Shark:
No, the worst news has been confirmed.

This guy bought one:

http://twitter.com/#!/stakita/status/1722335723790337

And the photo evidence:

http://yfrog.com/izl7lpj

My order is getting cancelled. I'd be better off with an Omnia 7, as it'll work better in daylight. Unfortunately it means I've lost at least 2 weeks of having a decent phone for nothing. As much as I like the look and the keyboard, the big number 1 reason I ordered it was the microSD slot. Without that, I can't justify the massive upfront hit of the SIM free price over the contract-subsidised price of another handset.

I'm rather irritated right now.
[Venue Pro General] xxnoelziexx:
Still can't find out any info officially (contacted dell uk and they have no clue)

On the clove website I see the below.

8GB Memory

Expansion Slot Yes

Type MicroSDHC

Capacity (Up to) 32GB

I am sure in a few days time it will all be confirmed by someone.
[Venue Pro General] fatdragondzc:
If the build is like all other phones, the microsd should be behind that cover. We probably won't find out until someone daring enough is willing to open up the back and take a look. Compared to the HD7, it looks like only a screw is holding it in place.

This is the whole problem with this phone. Dell doesn't even list full specs on this phone. Even the official page just lists only some specifics. But from what I read and seen, the UK or unlocked version seem only to have 8GB.
[Venue Pro General] Se4nH4x:
it's 8 GB >.> why do you guys need more so badly.

I'd be satisfied with that.

I have my 32 GB Zune HD that I am fully satisfied with continuing to use for music and video. I love my Zune.
[Venue Pro General] Silent Shark:
I have 11GB of music. Therefore an 8GB phone is not enough. I'm sure many people have much more music.

You might say I don't need all my music on my phone, but that argument will fall down the moment I think "I've not listened to that track in a while... and I still can't because it's not on my phone". It also falls over when I've copied my 6GB of music I really want to carry around with me, and then I fancy taking a film or tv show with me, but I can't because I have no storage space left.

You might say use Skydrive, but with most networks here capping monthly data at 500MB, that'll get used up pretty quickly, particularly if video is required. Zune Pass has this issue too, coupled with the fact that most of my music is soundtracks and rather obscure stuff, none of which is available on Zune (I've looked).
[Venue Pro General] Aturayd:
Ill be satisfied if there is a 16GB version as appears there is on Dell's website. It was either 8Gb with accessible micro-SD expansion, or 16Gb without it. I can live with 16Gb. I have a 32GB zune im nowhere near halfway through. 8Gb was just way too little though.
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
No SD card kind of sucks, but it's all good. I'm sure someone will find out where the sd card is hiding. Unless it's onboard? If it's NAND, then I'd prefer 16gb of that vs an sd card slot, to be honest.
[Venue Pro General] Silent Shark:
I emailed clove yesterday and got this response a few minutes ago:

Not sure what to make of this.
[Venue Pro General] rob_p:
That says to me that they have no more of a clue than any of us at this point!
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
Some people who have purchased the Venue Pro are saying they can't find the SD card slot, certainly not in the battery compartment, but others hold out hope that it is there underneath a cover and is reasonably easily accessible.

I hope we find out for sure by the 16th because I may have to reconsider the purchase if it turns out the SD card slot really isn't there or it's too embedded to get at without voiding the warranty.

8GB is not enough - my HD2 has a 16GB card and that has zero free space, in fact I was looking forward to doubling up to 32GB so I could put a bit more of my mp3 collection onto the phone.

Keep your eyes peeled for real evidence one way or the other...
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
it honestly boils down to keyboard and amoled (venue pro) vs no keyboard and no amoled with higher price tag outright (hd7)

I like wp7, it took a lot for me to get used to it granted but it is "enjoyable"

That said a keyboard would enhance my experience
[Fascinate General] RayKinStL:
Accounts are set up right. Sync is on. The phone will pick up new emails on a restart, but after that, it won't give any new email notifications. Also, if I open gmail and hit refresh, it won't show new emails that I KNOW are sitting in my inbox. Only time it gets new emails is right after a reboot. Not a clue what the problem could be. Any ideas?
[Fascinate General] kamunist:
I am having the same issue, especially when it comes to archiving emails using the Gmail app. I hit archive, come back to my computer an hour later, and everything is still sitting in Inbox as unread.
[Fascinate General] RayKinStL:
Yea, I am still having this issue. No emails will sync. I am fearful that I am just going to have to wait for 2.2 and a custom ROM to get a clean install and a properly working device.
[Fascinate General] azturbomini:
I was at my local verizon store yesterday with a text issue. They said it was a known issue and being fixed on the next update. They said the text and a email sync issue both were to be fixed. They did not know what update though. IE: 2.2 or the smaller updates. Hope this helps.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
I have had the exact issues usually after restoring a nandroid. I have posted this in another thread. Works for me every time.

Turn sync off.

menu/settings/Applications/Manage applications/gmail storage/force stop then hit clear data.

And do the same for gmail/force stop and clear data.

reboot. And turn sync back on.

good day.
[Fascinate General] rigormootis:
I was having this issue and I did a *228 and reprogramed my roaming and it has been great since.
[Fascinate General] kamunist:
very nice, thank you sir. this seems to have fixed it.
