OK here goes. First off Im no developer but thi seems to be where this should be posted. Now I know its hard to believe what im about to say but as soon as the thing gets here 2nite im posting pics and video. Anyway. My buddy stopped by this morning and had a 16g iPhone , pretty sure it was 16. At first Ithought he had bought an ipod but when he told me he paid almost 750$ for it and it was a phone I knew he just waisted hs money seeing as we have ONLY Alltel in our area. But he blew my mind. He called my phone from it. I was amazed. This is where it gets crazy. I checked it out and its insane!
When you power it on it goes to a back screen with "ver1" & "ver2" written in white. If you tap ver1 it goes black 4 about 13 seconds and then pops up a silver apple style wallpaper with a "loading" bar in red across the screen. After around 11 seconds the iPhone home screen kind of fades in the screen. My first thought was FAKE!!! But Ive messed with a real iPhone enough to know this was THE one and only iPhone. I stared at it for almost 2 hours just checking out every single detail there was. There are a couple things in question here:
iTunes was nowhere to be found period. NO WHERE! Why, dont ask me!
Also there were a couple of settings that were useless to Alltel.
Probaly a couple other things but nothing so significant for a non experienced tech to notice. But every app i tried, along with the internet and phone worked without a single glitch! I was so into it
I forgot about tha "ver2" Choice till he reminded me. So I killed the power and done the same thing with my other choice (how long it takes to cut on was the only thing that i noticed that may be a downside, but once its on youd never remember!) and right off i knew something weird was up because my buddy had that "HA HA bio**CH" loook. Anyway, it went black for around 12 or 13 seconds just like the first time. Then the same "loading" bar came up but on a green and blue wallpaper. When it finished after about 20 sec, significantly longer, it blew my mind!
The same windows mobile start up screen that is on my htc touch was on an iPhone !!! NO WAY!!!! Thats what i thought Too!!! after that instead of the alltel animation im used to seeing on my htc touch there was an animation of an earth spinning with some rotating rings. it lasted about 7 sec and then pops up a 4 button version of the htc home plug. i about passed out. it was my touch on an iphone! Needless to say iwent thru every nook and cranny, run and tested every app & Feature and function from internet to axcess apps, from the dialer to the home plug functions. And every single thing worked perfect! NOT ONE lockup, or connection loss. T
he only thing I didnt check was bluetooth or internet sharing. He explained to me about getting alltel to hook it up. he called them 7 times. The first 6 refused to do it on his pre existing account. Finally the last guy tried it and it worked. He tried to do the *228 programming /activation call twice thru the iphone section and it didnt work for some reason. But on first attempt thru htc dialer it started workin. I knew it had 2 be a fake. but even if it was the performance w is twice that of my touch. But when I told him that he actually called apple tech support and this thing really did start out as and is still partially a true Apple iPhone. Also the thing come with the original box and acceories. It came with I believe 6 manuals. 2 for a touch one sorta iphone quick guide a custom instruction book with around 20 pages and I cant remember the other. inside the custom one it lists two serial #'s.. The one on the phone(original ) & one listed as mobile serial/hex number(the one he gave alltel.
He got the thing 3 days ago while on vacation at a small pc store just outside panama city florida i think he said. The guy told him its the only one he made, and that it will work 4 and gsm or cdma service but we have absolutely no gsm service around here so we cant check that. But like i said im no tech. no where close. hes not either. so i dont know how this is even remotely possible! I've set & played with it for at least 6 hours today and still dont believe it anymore than i believe santa will bring me a wm7 upgrade for xmas but this thing is real. and its the most amazing ppc ive ever seen. its the best of both worlds. it not went unused for more than 5 min in three days and it locked up on the htc stuff 1 time. by the way it doesnt have the 3d cube either. but som freeware has already been downloaded and works so im guessing everthing will.
N e way. Hes willing to work something out and send it to an extremely talented and hopefully trustworthy tech (U.S. ONLY) 2 see if they could figure this thing out and maybe make it possible for others. I want one bad!
If your up to it post a reply and ill give you my contact info and we'll get it to you. For everyone else there will be craploads of pics and videos posted 2nite or first thing in the morning. Just waitin on dude 2 get off work. Dont ask for the stores name unless your flat out interested in being the one 2 tackle this thing. They had only 1 anyway as the owners own personal project so hopefully someone can fig this out. FAKE is not a choice as im now 210% sure its a ligit iphone after the customer serv. chat.

well i read it. its about an iphone that seems to run osx AND windows mobile through 2 separate paths without ANY problems. well im not believing it, since there isnt even a virtualizer 4 osx out there...and reprogramming from scratch is quite impossible. he promised us pictures...well, i hope for a video that shows us the functions (the menu for ver1 and ver2 for example)
I just read all of that and the long and short of it is his mate has brought an iphone that has a bootloader at startup where version one brings up the apple OS and selecting version 2 brings up WM.
After checking through all of the apps OP claims it appears to be all genuine and his mate is interested in sending off the phone to a US techie to rip it apart and find out how this was all done

Man... I took the time to actually read all that, maybe you should've made it a little shorter eyh But if what you tell is true, I'd sure like to get a hold of one, come up with the screenies...
I couldn't read it all the way through as I'm not paid by xda devs yet.
I think it's more likely to be the iphoney that runs on windows ce. Looks like an iphone but isn't.
What about the tocuh flo?
How about the touch flow? I cant imagine WM6 on an iPhone with the same amount of touch functinality. You didnt mention that.
i smell a HIPHONE.

My problem with this is that as far as I know, there is no WM device with the same screen/screen driver set, and the iPhone "OS X" uses a different kind of driver system and so it's unlikely to be a true iPhone...

Sorry, Had to try!
thx for trying
Pretty sure I have a headache now Ha!!!
pretty sure it is the chinese ripoff of the iPhone, as far as I can see, the touchscreen is big, true, but doesnt look as sensitive as the iPhone would be...it also looks like someone decided to redesign a phone with WM6, and steal some apps for xda and put it on the phone
Don't feel like reading it. Cliff note?

Well if you have read any of my previous post you would know that I dropped my phone and busted the screen on it. Afterwards it still worked fine so I continued to use it. Well a Few days ago the screen went black. The backlight still works but nothing showing up. After some reading I see some people are saying its the ribbon for the screen. At first I could remove my battery a couple times and it would work, but now nothing. My brothers screen works on his g1 but is stuck at the recovery tool and wont go any futher. Trying to decide if I wanna exchange his screen and cable over to mine or just dump em both off at ebay and get something else. If I do, it looks like it will have to be a iPhone since im on AT&T and I see how important warranty is now. I have tooken my brothers apart and I can tell you I do not like the design of the phones and how they were built but I do love my G1 guess its time to part ways.
Sad to see you go man, You should get another HTC phone and stay on the site! They're much more fun to play around with etc IMHO, or get a really cheap phone and wait till a new android phone comes out.
I like the iPhone (even though i've only used it a few times), but Windows Mobile/Android have more in the way of functionality, apps, and i've been an avid HTC user since I bought my first one!
from the smartphone community.
sorry to say guys but my time has come. I will still be active thru-out the XDA community, but no longer in the Maple Forums for i have moved on to another device.
Ill still be around for about a week or so until my new device arrives, so by all means..bring on the questions LOL
SoCal
Didnt have your Ozone for long huh? What are ya goin too (Just curious)...?
Are you selling that Ozone? I'll take it off your hands
I've been considering on upgrading to the Touch Pro 2 now that it is available at Verizon. Not quite sure though. I got a glimpse of the Leo, and I may want to hold out until that phone debuts later next year.
See ya around SoCal. Out of curiousity, what phone did you migrate to?
no i didnt have it for long at all..what 3monts i think??
..i tried and tried..but i just cant get the feel for it. I miss my VGA screen, and the full on feel of WINMO.
im moving on to a Touch Pro 2..according to VZW i should have it by Fri, Sat the latest. Im hoping my order is processed prior to them being out of stock.
Sounds like the better choice. I would die if our company decided to allow Touch Screens... But currently is Non-Touch only.

Good luck! Let us know how is your experience with the new phone.
Me, I got tired of touch screens. I'm very happy with the Ozone.
I love to have a keyboard, no stupid screen rotation that takes forever, tons of hw buttons and not have to use your nail for most of the options.
I may go back to touch screens in the future when the technology and windows mobile gets better.

good to know that Merck & CO isnt the only company out there like that.
i went thru the same issues for about 2.5-3yrs, so i wound up getting my own phone and then having a work phone. It was a pain the the arse, but i got what i wanted, and they had what they wanted!

my fiancee DIGS the Ozone. she doesn't put it down! as soon as i got it for her she turned into a smartphone guru lol. i asked if she wanted a touchscreen but because of our toddler, her pregnancy and her nails..the answer was "seriously J, what am i gonna do if i go into labor and i need to dial a number..i need a dial pad and keys, keys i say"! yea..she was cranky
Well, stop back in and give us a full comparison of the two phones.
I want a nice blend between touch and non-touch screen phones. That means, I can fully use a keyboard without the need to tap a screen if I don't need to. I enjoyed my PPC6800 for that very reason. But, it was slow. The Palm Treo was ok, but the lack of soft buttons was killing me.
See ya around, I may be joining you soon. That is, if my business ever starts to be productive again.
will do JT!
i should have it soon.
as of 9:50pm PST last night, the device was placed on back order and will not be here until the predicted date of 9-23.
sucks..but oh well
Awww... Poor baby.
lol.
Dont know where to start.
1. crashes all the time,
2. crashes when the battery is low, have to do a soft reset to regain functionality
3. the battery life is a joke. charge in the morning and by around 4pm i got to be cautious on what calls i take as it will die on me.
4. freaks out randomly when using opera. could it be my fingers are too big? lol
5. sms some times dont send. found the fix on the htc site, still not working.
feel like i made a terrible mistake getting this phone, why should i have to do hacks/fixes my self when i have never needed to on any othr fone before?
its trully a different fone culture using this, as i type this on the hd2 i have had to retype this at least 7 times. lol....
anyway the basic functions should be flawless, but they are not which worries considerably.
Seems like you got a bad piece which is unfortunate. I hope you can get it changed, because this is not how it's supposed to be.
I think I got a pretty decent piece. I never experienced any battery issues and neither the sms bug which I know many experienced on this forum. Also mine never crashes so I can just assume that you got a faulty piece.
As for the typing I can agree with you. However, if you tweak by decreasing the sensitivity (which actually I never experienced as a decrease in sensitivity, only as an enhancement while typing), that problem will be gone as well. It's not a difficult tweak, it can be easily done by installing BsB tweaks which can be found here in the forums.
Although I agree with you that one should not be forced to tweak this phone oneself, but I guess we'll have to live with it
thanks for your reply,
i will try the tweak, and see how it goes, i emailed vodafone to let them know. i forgot to let them know how slow the phone gets some times.
oh well, this is what i get ditching nokia!
try to see if you can exchange the phone. must be able to if you can show the phone crashes to vodafone and if you have the device not for too long they should exchange it for you as far as I know,..
Vodafone! are saying they have none in stock and cant replace it, would it be worth just flashing it with a different ROM since there is nothing they can do...

Have you tried a hard reset?
Also MaskedMagi just posted that Vodafone DO have some replacement phones left: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5285586&postcount=184
Perhaps it would be worth calling them back.

Yep, just to clarify that was about 3 hours ago so fingers crossed I'll get the phone tomorrow, though with the incoming snow probably not
I'm hoping that it is actually a HD2 and not a HTC Touch HD 2 or something as people have been confused over the phone before, I'll definately check before giving back my old one!
Needless to say I hope the newer one is not in fact worse than the old one! Give them a ring if you want, but remember you have to be within the 28 day period to get a return/replacement.
The direct line for returns they gave me was: 08448540430
Called them back but it was to late, got to call back during normal working hours... they are playing the arse because i called after the 28 days, when in fact I originally called on the 30th December, 27 days from when i received the phone on the 3rd.
I am very much annoyed, if they werent on holiday, there systems were down, then if not that they put me through to 3 different depts to then have to email v-store to them then telling me I am actually meant to call another dept.
These guys cannot be serious!!!
If you make enough of a fuss and tell them your original call was within the 28 day period and that they have delayed you they might listen, just have to see how it goes. Good luck with them tomorrow, keep us posted on how it goes

Originally they did, and the lady was meant to call back. But when she did the phone crashed. So I called back on the land line and got someone else instead.
Then had to go through the whole process again!! Will call back tommorrow though!
Did a hard reset we will see how that goes in the mean time.

Ah that sucks man, next time ask for their name and direct extension number straight away in case it happens again. Hopefully they'll sympathize with you tomorrow
About 10 minutes ago, my HD2 froze up. If you pushed the standby button, the hardware buttons would light up then go out as soon as you released the standby button. The screen would not do anything and just stayed black.
I did a battery pull and when I put it back in, the phone attempted to start up thenfroze and restarted on It's own. I was then greeted by a FRESH install screen as if I had just flashed a new ROM and all my settings are gone. Has anyone ever had this happen before?
Happened to me about two weeks ago...just another one of the oddities of this phone.
That's it?
That's really a HUGE slap in the face from both HTC and T-Mobile to know I laid down some cash for this piece of hardware, not to mention we rack our brains tweaking and fine tuning EVERYTHING about these phones and now the phone can whipe itself at any given moment.
We all laid down money on this phone. If you people haven't already, I suggest you get a good back-up program and back-up often. I've had to hard reset twice after my HD2 refused to accept my password. First time I didn't have a back-up. Second time it was a minor 20 minute fix.
T-Mobile and HTC are working on a ROM update so give it time.
best news i heard all weeek

While I agree it is wise to regularly create backups, I think this is a poor solution for these sorts of issues.
People with a device of this calibur should not have them in the first place. Same story as verizon and the BB storm. Everyone is so hurry to get the latest and greatest on the market they put quantity before quality.
Well looks like it happened to me again. Just 30 min ago...as much as I love the phone...it freaking pisses me off that this sh!t keeps happening. One more time and I'm contacting TMo customer service for a new handset (doubt that would help though).
mine did it. wtf!
Owned the Euro and the TMOUS, and it never happened to either of them.
My wife's HD2 formatted the SD card without any input from her. Weird.
Lesson learned, back your **** up on a regular basis and have a back up of that back up somewhere else just in case. People rely way to much and electronics and think they will never break. I don't care how expensive or nice you think something is, it will break eventually. I deal with these types of people all the time who have super important info that they cannot loose but yet they don't back it up anywhere and freak out when they loose it.
HD2 Reset
This happend to me not more than a week ago. I love this phone to death and put some major tweaks into it to suit me and everything was gone. APPs that I have paid for are now requiring that I repurchase them or provide serial numbers for full versions of them. Man what a slap in the face this was.... then two nights ago I was in town and it pulled up some home screens I have never seen before, I have been through this phone thoroughly and still have yet to discover where these screens came from or how. I cannot get them to come up again but I was very impressed with the lay out and definition of them........
My hopes are that these ROM updates will come out soon and fix these issues, they are major killers for this amazing piece of technology!!!
flash problem
sorry my mistake
This happened to me right now too
I cannot believe this! Google threw this post as first result for my search. I did not notice any kind of strange behaviour in the past 2,5 years. (bought in Oct 2009) Only thing was (after about 1,5 years) that the internal battery have lost the set time and date, but that was not disturbing as I havent restarted the phone so often. Today Ive decided to restart it, and after the reboot ALL of my Sense settings are gone, the phone says that Co0kies Home Tab is not installed on my phone, so I do not have any proper home screen now. Although the memory card is recognized (photos and other data are not missing) and the internal memory of the phone is intact too (phone numbers, messages are available). I cannot believe that something like that could happen with a phone, for which I have spent a huge amount of money... This is REALLY sad, HTC! There is no ROM or any sw upgrade for the phone since about 1,5 years, and in the meantime HTC released at least 20-30 brand new phone models... This is where the profit has higher priority as to serve customers, and (I hope) that this will lead to a massive loss of trust against HTC from all of the customers. This has already happened to me...
Guys let's give ourselves a break! Everyday we try to make our phones work better and faster. Searching for ROMS, RADIOs, Themes, ICONs, APPs and everything that is available out there and trying them out one by one. "Even soldiers at war know when to sleep.." This time let's share some interesting, funny, scary or any story that you can share. Let's talk about our stories with our HTC HD2s!
Let's try to have some fun while reading different stories between you and your beloved HTC HD2. Let's share not only good things that happened but also the bad stuffs, and maybe someone out there can learn something from your story.
So what are you waiting for? Start sharing your stories here!
I'm currently staying here in Riyadh because of work. Every once in awhile, me and my friends went out. We went to Khobar that day, it was weekend here so we have no work. About 4-5 hours travel by car just to get there, so we have a few stop overs just to go to the cr, buy some drinks and get some gas. On the mid-way of you trip, we have this stop over on a gasoline station, i went to the other car to check for our other friends there. Then we continued our trip. After more or less 20 mins, i started to noticed that i can't find my phone anywhere. I didn't let my friends know it at first because i thought i just put somewhere in my bag. But after 10 mins of looking, my heart starts to beat fast. At that time i only have my phone for 2 months i think, so i was so nervous but i didn't let my friends see it through me. Then i asked one of them to please call my number so that we would know if the phone was on the car or not. Then he said that it was ringing but we are not hearing anything inside the car. Then he said that a saudi guy answered the phone, at this point i don't know what to do and i was so scared. Then i told him that if he's just only joking it was not funny. Then he handed over to me his phone and when i said "hello.." someone replied from the other side. I was so scared that the guy who found my phone will not return it to me anymore. Then he told us that he found my phone on a gasoline station. Then he said that we will meet on the next bridge. After reaching the next bridge at a speed of 180km/hr, we called the guy again. He said that he was waiting there for 10 mins and he left already. He said that we will meet on the next bridge again. At this point im completely losing hope of seeing my phone again.
When we reached the said bridge, we called the my phone again and the guy said that he was waiting there for quite sometime and that he was on his way to Dammam. We told him to wait for us at the road going to Dammam, then he told us that he was going to a wedding and he was on a hurry. Then he said that in the evening that day he will be in Khobar for the wedding and he will return my phone there.
I didnt enjoy the rest of our trip because im still worried about my phone. Then as soon as it get's dark, we called the guy again. And he said that he was in Khobar that time and we will meet. I'm still nervous at that point, but my friends told me that the guy will return my phone.. blah blah blah.. Then the guy told us to hurry up because he will be leaving soon. So we asked him to give us 3 more mins and we will be there.
Then when we arrived at the said place, we saw the guy on a Lexus Black 2008 edition i think. The guy handed the phone to us with out any questions.
I was so thankful that my phone was returned. And imagine, i dropped the phone in a gasoline station but then when it was returned to me there are no scratches or anything, thanks to my Piel Frama leather case!
Since that day, i never let even a split second that i can't see my phone. I promised myself to take care of it very well. I treated my phone as if i was taking care of a cute puppy.
As of today im still waiting for my Otterbox Defender Case to be shipped. And im willing to give my very best for my phone!
That's all...
Thanks,
Pongskie
Great story, glad to hear you got it back. I'd be panicking loads if I thought I'd lost my hd2 and someone had taken it.
I was annoyed when someone stole my Sony Ericsson P800 back in the day.

Yeah! I think my chest was going to burst that time. That's why i'm so thankful to have it back again! Thanks for reading my story! And sorry for you Sony Ericsson P800. Hope you can post any unforgettable story about you HD2!
Mine is a bit lame, but over the past 2 weeks myself and my wife have been in hospital with our 3 week premature little girl in nursery care, during that time the HD2 was my saving grace, being able to stay on keep in touch with friends on facebook and general web browsing, take regular photos of our girl to update my wife while she was recovering from the surgery (c-section) and bub was in nursery, post online and send to family, uploading video to youtube etc. Everything is in this phone, there is not one limitation and thats what I love about it.

Since I got my HD2, my wife was on me about getting new phone and cost. all the way up until we were out and about and needed directions and needed to look up the store we were looking for. My HD2 came in like a champ. Yeah, I know I could have edone this with most phones, but for me, I like the flexability of this phone. and the size!!! I'm 6' 8'' and this phone fits me. Finally a phone that does not fill like I'm the giant in the room. BTW, I'm the normal one!!! the rest of you are muchkins!

See? If you don't have your HD2 probably you got eaten by wild bears! LOL

No understanding.
When I put the kids to bed obviously I have my HD2 just in case I need to check something.... My eldest daughter has now put a sign up outside her room "no telefon" she's only 6 still learning to spell.
Obviously my wife loved that and was thinking of getting one for the bedroom.
On a sad note my HD2 has been away getting fixed for 3 weeks (been using the old touch diamond which is still good) how they all laughed when I told them it had broke. Getting it back tomorrow hopefully.
p.s.
That's not my real name, if anybody saw this thread apart from HD2 owners we're F****ed. They wouldn't understand.
On a recent camping trip to the English Lake district,the torch came in really useful
for picking my way through the guy lines to find the toilet late at night.
Also was able to take photos and upload them straight to Facebook
so family could be kept up to date,was good to be able to use the router function
as well to run my laptop from a field awesome....

I know this feeling and this problem!
I think HTC and XDA must place a warning
warning:
Using a HTC device and be active on xda can created some damage between you and your partner!
LOL
