I miss my Trinity.
Been using HTC since they weren't branding themselves. My first phone was the Space Needle (ATT Pocket PC). I loved it. Did so much with it. Later flashed it, was very nice.
Then I moved on to the I-Mate Jam. Smaller, sleeker, also fun.
Then I got the Trinity P3600. This is absolutely the best phone there is in my opinion. It's small, light, has GPS, a decent camera, video call, mini SD slot.
I got more from my P3600 and a 2gb card than the HD has given me.
Yes, the HD has more memory, huge screen, better camera (although annoying, and who REALLY uses the camera on their phone for 'real' pictures), ..... wait, what more? For me, nothing.
I miss my d-pad. Try using the HD to go to Call History and view the contact details of the third caller down. You can't! No Way to move down. If you touch the contact, it calls him!!
Try finding a contact with the last name that begins with 'M' when you have 100+ contacts who begin with 'M' and the one you want is in the middle of the list. Oh, "just start typing part of the name" you might say. I DON'T WANT TO!! I'm using one hand. The only way is 'flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking'.
You've heard of "tennis elbow", now there's "flick thumb". What a pain!
And the soft touch buttons. USELESS!!!! First of all, forget the third one, the 'back arrow'. Does anyone use it? I don't. USELESS.
Now, try answering a call while the HD it in it's protective sleeve. While you're trying to slide the damn thing out, you almost inevidibly "answer" or "ignore" by accidentally pressing one of the soft buttons!! USELESS!
Now try putting the HD in your pocket or in the center console in your car. You will soon start hearing.....blip-blip-blip-blip-blip....... That's the soft keys being pressed accidentally.......Now look at the phone, it's frozen with just a start button.
..and and and......
I can go on, but this phone is hard to handle, very "touchy" and just a general PAIN IN THE A$$ to use, not to mention expensive as H3LL!!!
Glad I never sold my P3600. Will be going back to my old tried and true friend today. I flashed my Trinity to WM6.1, and it's GREAT!!!
Hope I can find a sucker to buy the HD before everyone starts realizing it sucks.
Thanks for listening!

haha, u made me laugh
well, firstly, were u blind when u were buying HD? I always check how device looks first, and you? Didn't u see it doesn't has a Dpad?
secondly, all your other problems are that you don't know what's a LOCK DEVICE function is...
in a conclusion, learn how to lock the device first, then you can talk about it
I miss my Trinity.
You still have it, so how can you miss it??

Working fine here.....

The Bug is not the device but rather the User...in this case
I was very concerned when I saw this thread as I will finally get my HD tomorrow. All the complaints made seem to be a user problem, I was able to do everything he couldn't do on my Diamond just using the screen, so I assume that that would be exactly the same as the HD.
I think everyone on these forums understands that most WM phones aren't the best out of the box but with tweaking the phones are made into great devices that are really interesting and are never boring because you can change so much.
If you want a device that just works with minimal functions so you don't get upset or have brain overload, the iphone is a great peace of hardware but WM has so much more to offer if you are willing to tweak and play around abit.
I think instead of posting "I hate the HD", it would be more appropriate to post.... "I need some help with some functions" and with the wealth of knowledge here you will get some answers very quick and not give people like me heart attacks reading your misleading posts.

Try finding a contact with the last name that begins with 'M' when you have 100+ contacts who begin with 'M' and the one you want is in the middle of the list. Oh, "just start typing part of the name" you might say. I DON'T WANT TO!! I'm using one hand.

You've heard of "tennis elbow", now there's "flick thumb". What a pain!
-> Basically, i never used the contacts list . Always use the dial key, bring up the keypad, and use smart dialing - much much faster. and yes, its 1 hand operation. You probably not aware of this obvious function? E.g. if you want to call John, type in your keypad 5606 . In the contacts list, There's a alphabet along the screen... touch letter M and it brings u to the M part of your contacts list... i dont think any of us have less than 100 contacts in our phone .
All these are purely your problem for not learning how to use it. not the phone's problem.
The Touch HD surely has flaws, like any other phone, but all of your problems can be avoid by learning how to use it.
Hey, for 100 usd I will be the sucker who buys it..
I could go line by line and combat everything this member says is "wrong" with the HD but I wont. All i can say is i am just not hving the problems he describes None of them with maybe the exception of I simply just dont use the camera. I use my real camera for pic taking

I Love this one: "I DON'T WANT TO!!" - I have a picture in my head of an angry little man dancing around a fire
Yes, I liked my PALM III very much but i came over it. Yes I understand "I DON'T WANT TO!!"
Not once you had a good point. Not once! You should have found one by accident.
The one thing I miss is the roller-wheel of my hermes. But it sounds like I could remap the volume rocker to do something similar, anyone tried this?
I've never used a full touch screen phone before, so like a cautious person I went in to the Orange shop and asked for a demo, which they were happy to give, and realised it wasn't all that daunting. A number of the annoyances with it so far are thanks to the not-so-touch-friendly Winmo 6.1, when someone cracks Android for this thing (apparently the Touch HD will be the new T-Mobile G2 according to the rumour mill) I'll be more than happy to try it out, plus the modding community will fix it up with their godlike skills, I'm just glad I found these forums!
Objective view, please...
I think most people here did not get the points raised here or have not been objective in their response (it is obvious they are product of their ne gadget); the phone as Windows Mobile is not per se user-friendly. The interface incorporated by HTC is not perfect. The hardware is therefore inadequate since it cannot be complemented by a good piece of software .
HTC has effectively delivered this phone in the same manner as it has done with other previouus devices (albeit a modified soft keyboard) with keypad. Even the TF3D for a WVGA screen, there is not difference to VGA devices, only larger icon and the Stock tab!
Excessive tweaking of the device is not always a good solution as it impacts other areas of the device.
Therefore stating all this is down to user is a best an over statement.
With all this feedback I wonder how HTC development team will feel! I for one do not complaint for the issues raised but admit they are serious problem. I can recall not being able to open the battery cover and having to refer to the manual, still it will not open. Only after several attempts the process became easier.
The iPhone is not always a valid alterative either, since many people wish to have applications that are not designed for this platform, such as any device car navigation program. This is particularly true in this case, as the poster clearly stated his background!
Personally, I must say my main decision for purchasing the BlackStone was merely for the screen size, having used the Universal for over year and then going down to Polaris (screen size wise), and with no sign of the Omni, I was “forced” again to a half solution. Any other aspect of the device was secondary in importance…
Ha, ha, ha...
Ha, ha, ha... thanx for the laugh, angry man
All new gadgets takes some getting use to... The HD i no exeption, especially when you cant use the software your used to because of the screen.
I love my HD though..
What a sound response carla!

I've been quite concerned about HD since I ordered it, and then once I got it (overpriced on HTC distribution orders to retail stores), etc. And finally with many "small" issues I wrote in other threads.
So I fully understand the feelings of angry users.
Has anybody noticed we, (concernerd users) are greatly defined by our previous machine?
It has come to my attention through this and other forums, that ex-TRINITY users are prone to be "in love" with it and not very pleased with HD.
I think this is really somthing to be investigated.
Finally, toying around in a phone store with the machine (if you have had the chance) is not enough to put all the blame in the "unconscious" buyer, it's simply not fair in todays e-shopping.
HTC did a very poor job putting the HD in the market for Christmas time, hope it will get fixed over the time, but i'm still very upset with HTC way of launching new devices.
I won't address all the issues, because other people already have, and because it really just sounds like the problem is more with what YOU like and don't like - and not with the phone. Either you are used to a certain way and you don't really want to change or you are not aware of how you can do things differently to better use the phone. In any case, I do respect your opinion and you have every right to express those thoughts here. Okay, so here are a couple of thoughts from my side.

The camera is descent - not excellent - but descent. The lack of flash is a known downfall. However, keep in mind that no phone out there will replace the quality of an actual camera. The camera feature on the phone is an extra commodity for those moments when you don't want to take a real camera with you or for those good times, when you are hanging out with friends and you don't need to shoot the greatest quality pictures. No camera phone is meant to be used as your main camera for vacation shots etc.

Maybe you don't understand how this feature works. On my HD, if I tap once on a number in the call history list, it DOES NOT call right away, but instead it brings up the call history for that caller alone. Then:
If the caller is in my contacts list, I see the name at the top and possibly a picture (if I added one). Below this, it shows me the call history.
If I tap on the name/picture, it pulls up a list of numbers and email addresses for that contact. If I once again tap on the name/picture, it brings me to that listing so I can edit the contact's information. I can always cancel by pressing menu at the bottom.
If I tap on a given missed call itself, it will call that number. The nice thing is that if that person called me once from their home and another time from their mobile, I can see that here and I can choose which number to call back.
If the caller is NOT in my contacts list, then I simply see "unknown" at the top and then the number that called below that (provided that person does not have their number blocked from callerID). If I tap on the number, it will call that person. If I tap on "unknown", I will eventually end up on my contacts list, where I can assign that number to a contact or I can create a new contact with that number.
I do have to admit, that it has happened a few times, that a contact calls me and in the call history list, I only see the number as if it were an unknown person. In that case, I have assigned that number to the contact and it overrides the number I already had. I don't know why that is. Maybe because some numbers I have entered as 0177-555-5555 and others as +491775555555 (in Germany).
Anyone know if that makes a difference? It seems that sometimes it does and other times it doesn't.
Try finding a contact with the last name that begins with 'M' when you have 100+ contacts who begin with 'M' and the one you want is in the middle of the list. Oh, "just start typing part of the name" you might say. I DON'T WANT TO!! I'm using one hand. The only way is 'flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking''flicking'.
You've heard of "tennis elbow", now there's "flick thumb". What a pain!

Huh?? Flicking is A LOT faster than pressing a D-pad arrow 80 times to get to your contact. You could also press the M or N on the alphabest list on the right. That way, you'll either see the beginning of the M's or the end of the M's and you can flick from there. Seriously - flicking goes really fast. And typing the first two letters into the name box is NOT that bad. You see, the possibilities here are endless!
Now try putting the HD in your pocket or in the center console in your car. You will soon start hearing.....blip-blip-blip-blip-blip....... That's the soft keys being pressed accidentally.......Now look at the phone, it's frozen with just a start button.

A simple press of the power button locks your phone - and guess what..... no more blip-blip-blip-blip-blip.
Now simply press the power button again and you can blip-blip-blip all you want.
So, there now - you must certainly LOVE your HD now, right?
This sounds like a very useful dialer ..
http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/eyes-free-shell-for-android-actually-delivers-on-its-name/
i.e. touch any part of screen and it will be 'five' then your gestures will decide which number to pick. With every number you 'go over' you get a feedback (vibrate/key click).
Would be awesome if someone can port it over to windows mobile.
It would be sweet to have this for WinMo.
However, if it will be a paid app I'll skip it though.

Thats brilliant if u ever find one for the HTC Wizard do post
I dunno about the vibrations and whatnot to dial. It would be like morse code lol... but a full sized canvas for you to draw numbers wouldnt be all bad. it could even use gestures and still not require you to physically look at the phone when you dial. A
brilliant idea
what for is this solution?
If someone is blaind then I uterstand but in other case i can't find enything briliant in that thing. Sometging new but useless for me ....
msvc or cyberon anyone?
Nah its just useful if you are preoccupied doing something and you'd rather not look at the phone when you're dialing.. for example.. say you're watching a movie and its getting good.. but then your girlfriend asks you to call her friend and ask her what time your gonna meet her somewhere and blah blah.. So to put it simply, it just makes life easier.
Honestly how many people these days remember numbers? Most people just stick a number in their contacts. The only numbers I could tell you off the top of my head are my own and my wife's.
ever tried to use the time when driving for 'useful' purpose like navigating complex phone tree ('press 3 for billing followed by your account number') ?

Hi,
is it possible to decrease the sensitivity of wiping right and left? I mean if you wipe from the middle to the right or to the left until the screen moves to the next page...
Normally these are only some millimeters. If you are selecting mails in inbox I often swipe to sms and all my selected mails are deselected again.
I think there have to be some kind of registry key for that...

Sorry, but you're basically saying that because you can't use something correctly then you want it to change to suit you??
Just give it a bit of time and you'll get used to it. TouchFLO has been around for a couple of years now (at least - it may have been round for longer!) and I've NEVER heard anyone say anything that even resembles what you're saying.
I'm not having a go - honestly, and I certainly don't want to start any bad vibes here, but you are talking about user error. Sorry mate, but it's that simple.
Persevere mate. Just get used to how it functions and you'll be fine.
Sorry too, but what stupid talking! Would you say that any tweaks in this forum is because users are too stupid to you their devices as designed and all of these changes you can do with WM are senseless?
This is not my first WM device and even not the first one with Sense or TF3D.
What about the discussion about screen sensitivity. They are all stupid using their devices, right?
So...
any constructive advices hear???

You're kidding, right? My software and devices should conform to my lifestyle, I shouldn't have to conform to it. I purchase devices and software because they fit my needs, not because the software forces me to change my habits. This is the very cornerstone of consumer choice, and I find it hard to believe that you'd honestly think otherwise.
i know it's EXTREMELY minor, but is it all at possible to turn off the auto-cap of the first letter? i don't ALWAYS need it and it can be quite annoying. TIA!

I just got my HD2 a couple of days ago and found this site yesterday, and I've just read alot of threads that were complaining about the HD2. Sorry if I thought you were hating. Actually, I see your problem and I second the motion. I guess I really never noticed it, but yeah, outside of the sms and email (probably office too), the first letter won't be capitalized, even if the box is checked. Hmmmmmm....

DONT click the Options field but the Options Tab on the bottom of the settings page.
Uncheck Capital letters
This MUST fix the problem - at least it fixes the problem in the default keyboard!

Just wondering ...
Why on earth would anyone want to disable the auto-cap for the first word in a sentence?
The first word of a sentance has been capitalized since the dawn of the Latin alphabet (includes English).
Why would you want to turn it off?

though it's impossible to understand why people like you feel the need to give your input when completely unnecessary, i'm sure it's happened since the "dawn of the Latin alphabet," as you so cleverly put it. thanks for the bump, i guess it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Becuase eg. in Danish we put dates as "d. 27. marts" meaning the 27th of March. In this case I would like it not to start "marts" with a capital letter since it is not a new sentence.

So in Danish you don't use capital letters for proper nouns? Well I never knew that.
Anyway, the suggested settings change DOES WORK. If it doesn't then you have a faulty device and should return it to the supplier. Ask them for the "non-capitalized" version.
I think there's plenty reasons why people don't want the first letter capitalized. I have found the need myself many times. Agree with you johncmolyneux, it should work when you have the settings done. Try a soft reset after making the changes Jawb. On my TyTN II I have the same setting and it works.

Agree with you johncmolyneux, it should work when you have the settings done. Try a soft reset after making the changes Jawb. On my TyTN II I have the same setting and it works.

I actually didn't comment on if it worked or not. But I have tried it and even a soft start won't make it work. At least not in Sense.

Becuase eg. in Danish we put dates as "d. 27. marts" meaning the 27th of March. In this case I would like it not to start "marts" with a capital letter since it is not a new sentence.

Well, I had never thought of that.
I WAS WRONG, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR MY EARLIER COMMENT.
I'm curious, even though there is no space between the period (.) and the word marts, does the HD2 still capitalize marts? I thought, in order for the HD2 to "think" that a new sentence has begun, there would have to be a space after the period. Is this not the case?
I'm going to try with my phone.
Be back shortly ...
---------------------------------
I'm back. I did the test and my HD2 DOES NOT capitalize the word "marts" in the example 27.marts, and I have it set to capitalize the first letter of new sentences. In fact, here's what I wrote:
This is a test. However, if we type 27.marts, will it capitalize marts?
No, it didn't!
But, when I wrote the following:
This is a test. However, if we type 27. marts, will it capitalize marts?
Yes, it did!
So, what I wrote originally still applies. I can't see a reason why you'd want to turn off this feature. If someone can give me an example, I will bow down and apologize again.

3 most worst problems of our Mini
1)Problem with Lock Screen. In missed calls wrong number is appearing.
2)Problem with in-call volume. After phone restarting, we have to push the side button during a call in order to increase the volume, because the initial level is approximately 40%.
3)HTC has released an update which supposes fix the problem with in-call volume. Are you sure that this update fix the problem which is written above (2) ? In case of “Yes”, could we install only the second “update file” (cab) in order to get rid of in-call volume ?
I bring to your attention to all issues above. Please for your cooperation in order to find a solution finally !! Furthermore, if someone has found a solution, I personally beg to publish the solution. Summing up, please try to keep this post ACTIVE !!! We have to pay lots of money for this wonderful mobile. However, it’s a really pity that these problems discomfort us !!! I am sure that together we can find a solution FINALLY !!!
I totally agree with you.
The first problem has occurred more than once on my mini.
The fact is that he always show the previous missed call.
So when your father calls you and you miss it.
And then the next day your sister calls and you miss that call again,
the lock screen will say that you missed a call from your father.
Strange that this has not been fixed yet, since this will just be a minor error.
My best guess is that they search the first missed call (missedcall(1))
where the function is maybe starting to count from 0.

Exactly my friend ! Ragarding second problem about in-call volume ? Do you have the same problem ?
Yes, but...
While the problems listed are serious, to me the very worst problem is the volume. Laid flat, the device is inaudible. Also I find the volume control was placed on the wrong side of the device. I think it should been on the right side but then I am a righty. Also I have big hand and end up changing the volume unintentionally. Because of the extreme sensitivity of the screen and placement of the talk/send soft key, my thumb pad (?) has placed numerous calls. This is correctable but one wonders if anybody at HTC played with the phone before the design was finalized.

I must say that the volume hasn't bothered me yet.
It's really strange !!! Some people have problem with volume level and some others not !!!
Your comments guys... Give all a try in order to fix this problem FINALLY
More serious problems:
1. Phone tends to freeze every few weeks. Only solution is to do hard reset, losing all data from your latest sync.
2. While having a numeric keypad is a great plus for a touch screen device, this great feature of HD mini is buggy. At times, it doesn't know if it's operating under T9 or under abc mode. The worst problem is that it tends to save every erroneous typing into the custom dictionary, with no option to ask for confirmation. While the custom words you really need requires a confirmation press on the word. Often, the custom words you want added to the dictionary are added erroneously, mispelled and cannot be modified or deleted. This is one very messy virtual keyboard.
3. Some regular and important options are restricted. Like the option to hide headers and scroll bars in mobile excel is greyed (unavailable). For no particular reason, other than to cripple the app.
4. Weather tab is buggy and a tremendous resource hog. Disable it and avoid it at all cost. It gobbles up close to 10Mb of ram, and makes the Sense unstable.
5. HTC Messaging is extremely slow. Cannot effective handle more than a few hundred messages.
6. Editing contacts is a mess. Copy and paste is disabled in many of the fields. Editing contacts will often freeze up the phone for a long time. Sometimes reaching several minutes. (Don't reset the phone no matter how long it takes, it will come around. It's just extremely slow and inefficient.)

I once emailed them about "wrong missed-phone appearing on the Lock Screen", you know what was their reply? (actually, you can guess)
pls HARD-RESET! .
Wow, so simple?
Hard-reset won't be the solution, bc, I have had hard-reset more than once, the problem still can not be solved.
Hopefully, HTC will soon issue some kind of patch for this.
Best regards

It won't work. HTC tech guys are so lazy and do not know how to solve problems. They always go for quick fix that won't work at all. Only to pretend they know what to tell you.
Some of the quick answers they usually go for are:
1. Go to service center for replacement (even if it's just a small software bug)
2. Hard reset (without even understanding why)
3. Soft reset
All these quick answers cannot solve any problems.
2)Problem with in-call volume. After phone restarting, we have to push the side button during a call in order to increase the volume, because the initial level is approximately 40%.
The problem above is the MOST SERIOUS for me !!!! We've paid lots of money and phone doesn't do the standard functions !! Let's BOMB with emails HTC Support
the problem which bothers me is that the footprints points to google maps or to copilot software,but i want it to point to my favorite gps software which is iGO....i asked htc support how to make footprints to open iGO NOT copilot $h|t and...here is what they answered

Yes. That's what i've been promoting. Drown HTC Support with surge of email complaints. This is the only way to force them to get off their lazy ass and do some real work.

Unfortunately, they almost never read your complaints. All they do is to issue standard pre-composed responses. Which will not contain any answers to your questions. This is their method. Of all the complaints i've written to them, none were ever answered.
SMS tab doesn't show flipping pages. Just simple text in a black background. The only effects you get is the twisting of the text when being swiped away. I think only big brother HD2 gets the flipping page effect for SMS.

Good luck on that. In our country, the HTC "hotline" is permanently connected to a fax machine. The only response you ever get is fax tone. Nobody answers the call.
