HD2 for our region, by default already come with chinese input. I know mine did. But for the rom update, I'm now sure if it would recognize our rom from the serial number itself.

Strange, but my serial start with HT9CENW06xxx. You sure you type it correctly?

No need. The hotfixs are required only for certain 1.xx.xxx.x version and below. Since 1.66.707.1 is the latest, the previous hotfix is already inside this package.

I'm downloading it now, install later. I'll wait for more reviews, and performance and speed test result.

I still prefer the original sleeve. It feel almost non-existence in my pocket, even fit my shirt pocket. The flip type is quite bulky though.

Man.... Anyway, it's not a deal breaker. It's specifically for T-mobile. Not very sure if there will be an unlock version for our region. If so, I think it will take some time before it reach here. Worth the wait? No thanks.

Additional ROM is probably for WinMo 7. But rumors had it WinMo 7 is only for eye-candy, totally written on a different OS, something like Zune HD. And for that, it may inherit some compatible issue with existing software. The RAM will be good though.... for gaming and video playback.

Yup. Garmin Mobile XT. It's bigger, faster, more responsive, amazing loading speed compared to HD. I'm loving it!

Happened to me before too. All you need to do is to check with the telco website. Find your phone and download there.

I'm planning to get invisible shield as well. But there was one guy that got his metalic brush effect/coating peal-off when he remove the invisible shield. in xda-developer. :sweats:

Nobody respond to my earlier post, i guess none of them is using it. Let us know the result after you try.

Added on January 28, 2010, 2:00 amBy the way, anyone has any complication with the official 1.66 rom yet? Any issue with Net 3.5? Games, app, message loading speed, internet browsing speed, gps signal lock, etc.... Need some review please.

For Maxis user whom has experience sms stuck at outbox in 1.48 rom, does the new 1.66 rom solve this problem already?

Hmm... PDA expert Mid Valley selling for RM2800... Where got RM2399...

So fast they release sms update for rom1.66? Yea, mine no problem so far. But my colleague one, Maxis, is having sms problem. Anyone has theirs resolved after 1.66?

Note: This update is only applicable to ROM version is less than 1.66.XXX.X. <-- Copy from HTC website.
So it's not applicable for 1.66 rom. Wonder if those that already install the previous hotfix, still need this or not?

I like this one. Thinking of getting one from them. About RM 21-22, excluding delivery. Anyone interested (to create a bulk for this)?

HOW TO DISABLE DATA CONNECTION

Warning: This will not only disable, but remove the data connection all together.

Go to "Settings" -> "Menu" -> "All Settings" -> "Connections" -> "Connection Setup" -> "Menu", and disable the "Enable Auto Configuration".

Then return to home, again go to "Setting" -> "Wireless Controls" -> "Menu" -> "Connections".

Under the Maxis/Digi/Celcom Internet Settings, select "Manage existing connection" -> "General" -> "Delete Settings"

Once complete, try go to "Settings" -> "Wireless Controls" -> "Data Connection". You should receive an error message say that it was unable to connect to the internet, etc. Work on my HD previously, should work on HD2.

Wifi, bluetooth and other wireless connection should work just fine. Anyway, with HD2, it's a bit pity if you don't subscribe to any data plan. With the 4.3" screen, it really is the best mobile gadget ever that allow you to online anywhere, anytime.

So far for battery life, full charge can last me 30 mins of calls, 10-20 sms, internet browsing for 1-2 hrs. Battery consumption on GPS is suprisingly good. I mean good because it last almost as long as my HD, although HD2 has bigger screen and lower battery capacity, it still quite good.

1+ hr of GPS consume about 30%.

The phone drain the battery mainly when you type your sms, not when you send. If you really spend 3 hrs (with the screen on), of course the battery bar is going to drop. :sweats: around 30-40% is normal for 3hrs.

I charge my phone every night, maybe I'm used to it already.

Anyway, never let your phone battery drop below 10%, it will spoil the battery. Better to charge when it still have power remain, even if it's still 50%, than to wait till it drop till 10%.

No one want to lead? If like that, then I'll probably purchase myself. Maybe I'll order few units, then I'll post up here.

One forumer just bought from pda expert mid valley, RM 2800, few thread earlier.

Yeah.... it does look flimsy, I don't really like the long flexible support. But those RM10 pasar malam can barely hold something this big, plus they are so big! I mean the clip, the whole thing, I find it a bit clumsy to hold something as big as HD2.

Another type is this one:


Not that practical, since most car cigarette holder is very low, as it draw our attention from the road. Very dangerous, especially when we are making critical decision to overtake lane and to take a turn...

HD2 Car Holder bulk list:
1. Aurora
2. frankgan
3. mezerwi
4. mikeis18
5. ahcong
6. KKW + USB Retractable MicroUSB Cable

The retail price, after conversion is RM21-22, excluding shipping. This is my first bulk, so I'm doing this bulk just for sharing the shipping cost, no earning, rounded to the nearest RM. If we get more people, maybe I'll use international courier express, so we can get the item faster.

dgtel2, you bought all resin case color available? I tried laying on my odometer before, but since I'm not using resin case, it slips if I corner too hard. I'm not planning to use resin, so I definitely need the car holder.

I read somewhere, there is no fix for the sms tone for original rom, not sure about custom though. It's a special feature (bug) intentionally for HD2 only. As for lag, probably you install something into your phone and always running in background? Try check your task manager, auto-updates.

Guys, I have created a bulk thread in garage sales. I will post the shipping fees and purchase cost in my thread once I receive the items, so we spilt the bill fair and square according to weight of item, ok? (Plus 5% on top of your purchase, for my effort, ok guys? )

Here are the list for car holder buyers.

1. Aurora
2. frankgan
3. mezerwi
4. mikeis18
5. ahcong
6. KKW + USB Retractable MicroUSB Cable
7. imhong + 1 black rubberize cover
8. fit + 1 universal car charger (microusb)

Try check your device manager, see if there is any uninstall/unidentify device. Probably just driver missing.

Which soft jelly case? There is another forumer selling epikcase, you can check him out.

Please visit tradezone, there are few forumers selling it there.

Check first page, there is a list of users, where they bought it, how much, and what are the package... As far as I'm concerned, PDA Expert can't drop their price too much because they need maintain the price tag, but they do give out some feebies. While other lower offer elsewhere, they don't give much, (if any) freebies at all.

wow.. that bad? Fortunately I haven't change. Btw, what kind of bug/problem you encounter with 1.66?

Added on February 2, 2010, 11:25 pmWow... that seems serious...

This, i'm totally over it, if it's going to happen. But not sure though if garmin/papago would want to enter android market. I see a lot of other s/w developers have yet to enter the market.

The whole street is filled with iphone user, even accessories for iphone have surpass nokia. Apple put too much constraint on their os. Power user will definitely stick to winmo. I believe most iphone users are looking for a reason to jump ship, usable gps s/w and multitask!

Speaking of which, I'm listening to music while typing this. A while ago was replying text sms, without having to quit my browser, with half of the post above. Occasionally quit to main screen to change songs tracks. Basic day-to-day multitask.

I'm also using my hd2 as broadband modem:)
