Have you tried cooling down your device (pulling out the battery overnight or putting it in the frige) and flashing using SD card again. If you still got custom rom/radio in your device and the service center manage to boot your device then your warranty will be void.

Your device is not brick (since you can still get into bootloader) so there is a risk in sending it in with custom rom/radio

You are right. I have come across similar scenarion on my htc HD. Just let the battery drain off dead. REcharge it and try again

I'm a new owner of HTC HD2.
I'm using WinMo6.5, the seller installed for me.
I have a few questions.

Q for Facebook: Why i cannot view what my friends wrote on my wall? I can only see for eg. "Megan Fox wrote on your wall" but i couldn't see the content. I can only see a few pictures of myself but i have tons of pictures. Do i need to update the facebook? If yes, then how?

Strange. Just download it from Marketplace

Q for Opera Browser/Internet Explorer: I got so frustrated with Facebook app then I tried to login with this 2 browser, but it kept saying Incorrect Email/Password. I was in no doubt that I made typo. Everything is spelled correctly and I even made sure Caps Lock is off. Is anyone else experiencing this??

NEVER

Q for Windows Media Player: I transferred songs into my phone but it only appeared under Music. I dont see anything in Windows Media Player. Is it because I need to have Windows Media Player on my Computer?? If so then how do i go from there??

NO. Use the built in player to play music

Q for Garmin Mobile XT: The seller helped me install but I reckon it's trial version. So what can i do now? Can anyone guide me on how to install the original version? If can't then anyone who is good with HTC HD2 and Garmin can help me out?

If you want cheap solutions, many guys at lowyat can install full version for you at ridiculous cheap prices. Or you can download and pay for the original version at garmin website

Q for Applications: Is there any way where we can sort of "jailbreak" this phone and download applications for free? I think the pricing of some applications are kinda ridiculous.

SORRY -= we do not allow discussion of such here


Q for Camera: I love the camera but one thing, how do I store the Images that I took into Memory card instead of Main Phone permanently(sort of a default). I hate the need to push the Storage everytime I take pics.

You can set it in your camera - check the settings

Q about Android: Which OS is better? Can anyone explain the differences between Android and WinMo? Which OS display beautiful interface??

Android is definately better but you'd better know the basics of Windows Mobile before attempting Android on HD2

Q about Hang issues: Why does my phone hang sometimes even when it's new(bought it like 2 days ago)? No buttons will be functioning and i can only remove the battery and place it back again when my phone hangs. How do I stop the hang/lag? Or what can I do to restart my phone without having to remove and place the battery??

Looks like you have so many problems. What ROM are you on. I think the seller installed a unreliable cook rom. Is it a used set ?

Thanks in advance to anyone who take the time and trouble to answer me.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
PS: anyone who has HTC HD2 and doesnt mind helping out a newbie like me, can you pm me your MSN? I have lots to ask =D
*
Please read post 2 of this thread first before asking any more questions . It is a worthwhile read as most of the basics are there. We will help you but help yourself first by reading up. Please do not treat members here as instant mee feeding machine. It is very obvious you are a newbie , so read an understand the basics first. And I'd strongly suggest that your seller reinstall the ORIGINAL stock rom for you first ( if he install a cooked rom) so that your learning experience is good and fast. Temporary do a hard reset and start afresh to see whether any of above issues still persist

My facebook is v1.007? is it too old? how can i update the facebook version??

This is stock rom. Is yours a used set or new set ? Do a hard reset and check again the issues/problems you face. You will lose all the programs the selelr have install for you. You can do a backup using either Sprite Backup or Sbp Backup first before hard reset - google to download the trial versions of this software to backup. As said earlier, go to marketplace ( It is a program inside your phone ) and search for Facebook and download - is FREE

If yours is a used set, is it original local set or a imported set which the seller installed a stock local rom for you?

how long will the btry span?

Battery life depends on your usage. There is no one simple formula to determine. If you browse a lot, play videos definately it'd be shorter. It also heavily depend on how many apps you have open to be connected to internet at any time. Just quotev you example :

My Weather - update every 4 hours, Email checks every 15 minutes ( 3 accounts), RSS and Tweeter updates every 30 minutes, Phone calls 5 to 10 /day, SMS - 10 /day, Browsing about 2-3 hours/day, Music and video not much most 1 hour/day - at full charge at 7 am , by night about 8 pm i will have about 20 to 30 % left
You can always get a spare battery - nowadays is cheap for generic type RM 40 to RM60 while the original about RM 150

to have a backup btry is a good idea.
just the matter how to charge the btry wthout using the phone only.
*
Just look for such battery charger in EBay - plenty choices . Go for the medium price ones not those cheap types ( won't last long) . For battery highly recommend Andida brand or Mugen ( more expensive). Dont buy those batteriea around RM30-RM40 - lousy and heatup easily and wont last. GO for those around RM 8o to RM100

thanks doc. when i bought my phone in february 2010, its already using the latest (official) rom 1.66.707.1. the hotfixes i installed are dated march-july 2010 (after the january 2010 rom upgrade). so i assumed that i require those updates. did i make the wrong assumptions? alamak!  rclxub.gif
*
There is no harm installing the hotfixes ; if it is already in your rom, it'll just overwrite it. It takes up space though.

I have been using the HD2 since Dec 2009 , I have never install any of the hotfixes as I do not see the need. My HD2 was Ok with no issues on SMS etc. When cook roms were available, I drop it and upgraded to the cooked roms

Check your extracted rom file - this file should be inside the Android folder, as I have seen and use it in ver 1.5

where did u send ur hd2 ?

This SMS issue was only in the early release ( not all, some sets affected ) in Dec 2009/Jan 2010. After Feb 2010, one rarely hear and infact I'd say for the last 6 months since the hotfixes and cooked roms , there is no such issue anymore. Is yours a new set or you bought a used set ? What is the rom version ?

Flashing the latest radio will also help if your radio is those early versions 2.06 or 2.07. Most of us now uses radio 2.08, 2.10, 2.12

What's the best Radio ROM for us? I am on 2.06.51.07 and tried radio 2.12, the GPS lock times are long and it points me at a wrong place 300m away, does radio 2.14 fix this prob?

oh, and my current radio very hard to find 3g network in my house, always 3G got disconnected and get EDGE

So far radios 2.08, 2.10, 2.12 works fine on my HD2. Did not try 2.12 as is still new and I am very satisfy with 2.12

First: Is your device normal HD2 or Tmous HD2 (with red and green call/end button). If normal HD2 proceed to next step. If Tmous, do not flash ANY Radio before 2.07.x or radio with the .51 example 2.xx.51.xx Radio or you could brick your phone!!

Second: Install HSPL from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
Choose either 1.42.HSPL or 1.66.HSPL (You will not lose any data)
If you have tmous HD2 you must use 2.08.HSPL. Please be careful so you don't brick your phone. (or you can just download hspl3 from the second post in this thread.)

Third: Download radio from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
I recommend radio Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2. But you can try others to see whichever suites you.

Fourth: Flash Radio. The guide is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
You will need CustomRUU.exe to flash. If it is in the radio file you download fine but if it is not there you will find it in the guide above. (You will not lose any data)
*
Correct me if I am wrong. If the hd2 originally is using a 0.51 radio, even if you upgrade must upgrade back to 0.51 right ? Based on what I have read the hd2 ESP tmous sets having 0.51 radio problematic and definitely need upgrades to 2.07 and above. Here in Asia is still best to get local hd2 or ap sets having 0.50 radio instead of tmous 0.51

You seems to have many issues with your phone. Did you buy new - if so should claim warranty. All the issues you mentioned I have never faced before using my phone since Nov 2009 till now
If you bought a used set - best is to hard reset and reinstall your programs. For your SD card - reformat it. You can even do this for a new set. If similar problems still persists, you have to consider it a hardware issue

NO need. Try to use this software to reformat when windows format cannot do it. This sia powerful tool - I recommend it to all those who especially wants to try Android. It saves 2 of my old SanDisk cards - which cannot be read and format by both Mac and Windows:

and please not htc service centre unless no choice.

Thanks

HTC Service center is the best - why you wish to go to others ?

If you bought it from SIS - go back to seller to claim warranty - as SIS is 2 year warranty . All sets in Msia warranty will still be valid as launch was in Dec 2009 and the first batch warranty expiring only Dec 2011. Even AP sets by Msian dealers carry a 18 month warranty - so is still applicable. However if yours is bought from overseas - you have to pay a service fee to HTC to process and hope they can replace whatever parts free for you

Before that check your battery - are you using original ? Sometimes cheap generic batteries will have this problem - I faced before . Once i bought a RM30 battery from ebay ( original RM150) ; after a few months the HD2 was hot averaging 38 to 45 C. After I replace with the original battery it was OK

You misunderstood me. The battery will not turn hot. A defective battery will cause unit to be hot
