Hate to point this out (especially on first page of V2), but someone from the other side of the world is experiencing this sweat.gif  sweat.gif :

Anyway, after going through the whole thread (and link to other threads), seems like it occurred due to excessive force, rapid ambient temperature change, screen protector. Could be a manufacturing defect, or could be due to its large screen size, it has higher tendency of occurrence.

IIRC, capacity screen is glass type, and by touch alone (without pressing), the screen will pick-up our finger gesture, right? And so, the screen isn't suppose to have any sign of softness and tenderness if we press it, unlike resistivity. I remember iphone capacity touchscreen as solid, not tender. blink.gif

it is a solid screen.. unlike resistive touch screens...

Bought my HTC HD2 earlier december. Loving it. I prefer windows mobile more than iphone due to iphones restrictions which kinda halts me from getting it. Plus I'm already so busy with my everyday life, I'm happy with all the apps available for htc hd2 as that is mostly what I want for work and leisure. Sure iphone has tonnes of apps but i ask myself this, am I or do I have the time to install so many apps into the iphone if I bought one. I just have this strong feeling that we will get a free upgrade to windows mobile 7, but don't take my word for it.

don't worry... it is rumoring all over the place now.. haha check this out..

This new SMS update solves the problem of the long loading of messages. which had been a very annoying issue.. and it also adds the number of SMSes u have with a particular contact. it is good that HTC is providing us with these hot fixes to make the phone better.. Thank you HTC rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

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 tongue.gif tongue.gif visit www.xda-developers.com to enhance your device.. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

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? smile.gif

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. biggrin.gif
*
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.. rclxms.gif

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

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?
*
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 tongue.gif

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

[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
*
i don't think u should install the hotfix if u are using custom ROMs.. those hotfixes are for the stock ROM made by HTC.

and for the ringtone.. all the WinMo devices will just keep it playing until the whole song is finished.. if u put a 3 min ringtone.. then u are gonna have it running for 3 minutes till the ringtone is done. so better don't assign a long ringtone as ur sms notification.

Hello, I'm getting my HD2 tomorrow! Sorry for bothering, but I've to ask this. Should I ask them to install anything to the phone besides ROM flashing, i think? Have no idea what's hotfix and etc etc. Argh! And, how to check the ROM version of the phone and also how much memory does the SD card come with?

Regarding the pouch, is the pouch provided good enough? I heard there's a brand called Noreve.. it is good?
*
they will install some necessary software for you and the original leather pouch is good enough for me.. up to you though

Oouucchh... software conflicts then. If you're using custom ROM, that could be the possible answer. I'm using the latest ASIAN WWE stock ROM. No Garmin issue so far.

it is stock 1.66.. and i just dunno why it started happen ... might be something that i installed.. might need a hard reset............. again........... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif
