i had my eye on this phone and thanks for the constant HD2 poison before, during and after football matches on ESPN...i finally succumb to it.
Got mine yesterday for rm2600

Yea, turtles, RM2600 sounds a bit of an overkill. Official price now i think is RM2499, though you can get it lower through some forum members here (SIS Original sets). But no matter, its a great phone! I am a new user too. Add me up smile.gif and i couldn't help but smile about what you said during ESPN..i kena racun too!

EDIT: BTW, custom ROMs rock! Luckily i had a lot of experience from my touch pro days. Unleash the 576MB!! (though i cant tell the difference)

Wah, the phone vibrates non stop when I received SMS.

Thats odd. Are you still using the original HTC rom? If this persists, i suggest you backup your phone and try hard-reseting it. Hope this helps

I'm using those normal ringtone that came with it only. It's about like 4-5 seconds only.

But the vibration keeps on going.

Even for phone calls? In any case, i think its time you hard-reset smile.gif

anyone can help....how to turn off the beeping sound as you dial phone numbers?

i tried settings > locale & text > text input > typing sound > off
but it only turns off the sound as you type text

Hi Turtles

Try going to settings/personal/phone. Under the sounds tab, change the keypad option to off. Should turn off the beeping sound as u dial numbers. Hope this helps

Guys, just found out something interesting for the HD2, esp for those using bluetooth headsets. Take a look.

To all the sifu here, may i know waht's the most stable ROM n Radio at tis moment??? ty n hv a nice day to all the sifu...

Hey Bangsar, so decided to stick to the HD2 eh? good for you!

Unfortunately, no one can tell you the most stable ROM and radio at the moment. It all boils down to individual preferences. For me, I like using Miri's ROMs, and am currently using zenkinz's Merlion ROM. I use these ROMs as they reliably allow me to backup and restore SMSs on the finicky HTC Messaging Client. Radio i am testing the latest 2.10.50.28.2. Just installed it but seems ok so far. Have fun experimenting and flashing!

Start with all the usual reading at xda forums and htcpedia. Really informative. I learnt a lot when i first got my touch pro so my experience in flashing also was due to that phone. I was like you in the beginning, totally unsure, but as long as you read carefully, and with the hard SPL, its very difficult to brick the phone. Touch wood, i have been doing ok so far. I am in KL unfortunately smile.gif Be patient, and have faith!

yea i'm excited with the WM7 too. but considering the last time they issued out a statement saying it might not be available for our HD2. and microsoft have just recently launched their own pho vmad.gif nes too(kin.com)...looks like WM7 is slipping away from our HD2....potong stim  mad.gif

Smang,

Actually it has been confirmed that our HD2 wont be upgradeable to WM7. Well, we probably won't get official upgrades, but hopefully those folks at xda and htcpedia can whip up some custom WM7 roms for our phones as and when it actually comes out.

Android without a doubt has its own appeals. Wife has a nexus one, and the apps and games with it are very neat. Unfortunately since using the HD2, all other phones i have tried seemed a little tiny in terms of screen size biggrin.gif

Yes this battery is highly recommended - get it from ebay cheap and good quality. Had been using it since Dec. If you are a heavy user it is always good to have a spare battery

Thanks for the tip guys. Just ordered one to try it out. BTW, i bought it from ebay hong kong. Cheaper than what i could find locally, but of course, shipping times are longer, and not sure if package will arrive or not safely. Still, at the price, worth a try smile.gif

erm guys...

i am confused. do i have to install the Calendar View Update dated 18.12.2009 if my rom version is 1.66.707.1?

thanks!

Hi Slaymaster

I don't think it is needed as I believe this Calendar View update was made available before the ROM Upgrade to 1.66, so all those fixes prior to the 1.66 release should already have been incorporated into your ROM.

You are welcome Slaymaster..and not interested in trying out custom ROMS? smile.gif

On a general note, i have been trying the new Ananda battery (1600mh) i bought from ebay Hong Kong. Though its rated higher than our original batteries, it doesn't seem to last as long. Maybe more usage later would help. Either way, its a good backup battery, and for the price, its a steal!

To all you guys/gals who setup streamyx email on the HD2,

Have you been having problems sending email through the phone lately? I can receive emails fine, but sending is not possible through streamyx. I have tried everything, even flashing to original ROM, but no go. Just curious if i am doing anything wrong. It worked fine previously, so i am assuming all my pop and smtp settings are correct.

I have no issue sending email via streamyxl account. just ensure you activate the "outgoing requires authentication..." at the SMTP setting. no need to set to port 587.

Dgtel2,

Hey, thanks for your feedback. Yea, i did set the outgoing authentication thing. Hmm..maybe its my daily ROM flashing that screwed it up. Let me try again smile.gif

Thanks to Google...the Android maker and Microsoft-killer...

I'm encouraging you to abort Streamyx email account as it is not reliable. Switch to Google account and you can do backups for calendar and address book / contacts.

I am really tempted to, but unfortunately, my Streamyx a/c is also my work a/c, so all the mail gets sent there. But i do have a gmail a/c, and recently playing with the Desire was really tempting! However, lets not get off-topic. Again, my thanks dgtel. thumbup.gif I am just somehow hoping that Windows Phone 7 would be ported to our devices sometime later this year.
