Okay, so next time I can update the rom manually through the internet? ROM 1.42 is good enough for hd2?

PDA Expert sells all original devices under SIS warranty.. basiclly all HTC devices are under SIS atm.. kinda hard to find an AP set.

and the best ROM atm for HD2 is 1.66.. actually to flash a ROM is very easy.. u just need to go to HTC's official website www.htc.com
and select SUPPORT. select your phone model and it will show you all the updates for your phone.. select latest ROM update and download it.. run it like a normal .exe file and follow its instruction.. as simple as that...

if u wanna save trouble, u can simply visit the nearest SIS service centre and they will help u to update the ROM for you.. but it might take quite some time..

hope this helps.. and errrrrrrrrrrr you are gonna love ur HD2 trust me visit www.xda-developers.com to enhance your device..

Hi guys....been reading this thread and i just can't hold off any longer....SO i bought it at PDA Expert Digital Mall for RM2800 with freebies. Please add me as HTC HD2 owner list ...Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. From what I've read from this thread, some encountered bug issue with 1.66 and some don't. Let say I wanna update manually ROM Version 1.66.707.1, I don't have to backup anything right since I'm using a new SIM card for it? I just have to proceed straight to the upgrade right?

Anyways PDA Expert doesn't help to update the HD2 ROM for free? Have to go to the HTC service centre?

Sorry for asking a lot, first time buying a windows mobile phone.

I just bought HD2 yesterday and when I check the ROM version, it already came with the latest version 1.66 installed. No need to update. No problem with the device so far. Everything is real smooth and working perfectly.

HD2 is still using Windows Mobile 6.5 right?

I want "pop" 1 question here
Just want to know sometime I put the movie file in my hd2, I can't see the movie clip appear in album, but if I click and play the movie file in file explorer and it will play.

yes.. it is still running on WinMo 6.5

i have no issues with 1.66.. only some applications won't work with the new ROM. to be specific, Clean Ram and MemMaid are not usable with this ROM. it would hang right after i cleaned my RAM. others are working like a charm.

but 1.66 improved my battery life by 50 % i have to say.. i experienced a really bad battery life with the 1.48 ROM and was largely frustrated. now i don't have to worry about my battery life.

Some new HD2s come with 1.66 stock ROM as those are the newer batch. those old ones should be 1.48. but if you bought it from PDA Expert and it is 1.66, then i assume all the PDA Expert branches would come with 1.66 pre-installed. and whether PDA Expert provide ROM upgrade. i think they do and it is definitely free (only that some of them don't have the ROM and they have to download it from the official website first), you can request and i think they will do it for you.

enjoy..

P/S: I worked for PDA Expert last year during my holidays... hehehe

haha, thanks for the reply! helped a lot. xD

np.. enjoy the HD2

WOW~~~ Nice to hear u said improved battery life 50%~~^^ so good~~
Sure bor? if compare with those customise rom at XDA developers there/? original rom good or 3rd rom good?

For clean ram : exceptions list - add manila.exe : it will not freeze/hang your phone

normally custom ROMs are faster than stock ROMs.. but some custom ROMs are not stable and require bug fixed by the chef.. so depends on you.. my Cruise is running on custom ROMs but my HD2 is not ready for flashing yet

been a while now since i last visited here. any interesting new stuff?
where and what screen protector, pouch and car klit u all recommend ar?

If u r rich enuf, can go for Noreve leather pouch, among the best i've seen so far in terms of elegance and quality..
if wanna go economic, can try epikcase~hehe

I cant seem to see manila.exe in the possible choices of running processes > how to get this manila.exe to run so i can select it >
Great info as i was having a hanging situation when using leval 3 but seemed okay in Leval 2

Open clean ram config program
Menu/Exceptions list
TICK "Enabled"
Under Running Processes - select Manila.exe : press the right arrow to have it selected into Exceptions list
Close
Run Level 3 : Guarantee you it will never hang - I have been using these in all the cooked roms and official roms

wat about lvl 2? it says for best performance

Lvl 3 is a better cleanup for the RAM comparing to level 2. Are you having a problem with Lvl 2 cleaning? Perhaps you can try it out with level 3.

[My Question]
I'm currently using the cooked ROM Topix 1.1.7. I installed the hotfix (which i think its the SMS hotfix) then my HTC Message got corrupted. The font goes too huge and the whole thing is not readable,even after i set the font size to smallest but still cant read. Its like all the alphabert overlapping. (but i can still read it individual message though.). Topix 1.1.7 not stable with the hotfix? Anyone else faces this problem?

2nd question, anyone tried assigning a long ringtone for SMS alert? I tried to assign like a 35sec ringtone for the SMS alert. So when the sms arrive the tone is triggered, but even after i open up the sms, the ringtone is still running until 30sec.. Anyway to set it to stop ringing after i open the SMS?

Thank you in advance for those replying to my post.

Regards

sorted > thanks Benny888
