hello all - ive had my phone for about 1 month, its great at many things, but some things are very annoying with it. would very much appreciate your input
1) the built in calendar is very poor and difficult to navigate- i have been looking for an alternative without much luck- anyone got any suggestions?
2) i cant seem to get the camera to have a flash- just light on or off. is there a fix for this or am i doing something wrong.
3) media is very slow if not coded properly using coreplayer. i have heard they are working on a way to get hardware acceleration and this will take some time
4) flash doesnt work in all sites- i have installed flashlite- but to no luck. i think again we are all in the same boat.

Hey I am running the stock windows mobile 6.1 from sprint because I just got a replacement but I have always noticed that when i type a message, the letters always lag and it takes about 2 seconds for the phone to finally catch up. is there any solution for this problem out there because there was for the tilt but I tried that solution and it made things worse. any help would be appreciated.
I'd like an answer to that too.
That Makes Three Of Us And I Have To Say Its Pretty Darn Annoying!
From what I can tell this is just a problem with the hardware keyboard that has no fix (to the best of my knowledge)
actually not....
its not a problem with the hardware as it doesnt do this in the old 6.0 stock rom and when you hard reset then its normal and doesnt lag till a couple days later. I just flashed KAOS mogul rom from smartphonejunkie and it doesnt really do that at all. So there is something in the software definitely
Hey, I've looked around and searched some in the forums but haven't quite found what I'm looking for, sorry if this already been brought up.
Anyway, my Touch HD stops working while I run youtube application, this means, that the whole phone will lock/freeze itself and I can't even return by the "home" button and the phone won't even vibrate, it's just dead but the screen still shows. Same happens when I run TomTom and Media player at the same time, this really bothers me cause I'd like to be able to listen to music at the same time while I'm driving. The only way then to bring the phone back to life, is by using the restart button, and I really don't want to open my phone every 2 minutes just to restart it. Anyway, is there anyone who can help me with this? I have no idea what it can be...
Answers are really appreciated, thanks alot for reading and thanks in advance!
could be due to other installed programs... i would uninstall all programs except TomTom and YouTube and see if you have any problems. if not, then it could be due to one of more of the programs you removed. i would then add each program back to my device retest and if you have a problem you know its related to the program. if this process fails, then a hard-reset may be required to clear any issues.
Hey guys.
My HD2 sometimes show that my data is fine and working, but when i for example try to access a webpage, or anything else, where i have to use the internet nothing happens. The phone acts just like if it did not have any data. The only way i can get it to work is to go disable data, and then enable it again, but that really gets annoying when you have to do it quite often
I have the newest official rom (1.48.), and the problem exist both in that, and the standard one (1.43.). I have also applied the sim update, which also udates your radio, so it seems to me that it might be a hardware issue
Does anyone experience problems like that too? and more important does anyone have a fix
My telecompany wants me to send it to repair but if i could get it working myself i really do not want to wait 7 days for them to do it.
thought and opinions would be much appreciated

Welcome to my world.
I'm still trying to figure out the issue too. I do the whole disable/enable data trick as well. It seems to be the fastest way to get back on rather than waiting for the phone to sort itself out.
Will check out Master's link now...
well now i've sent my hd2 to reparation so now i will just have to wait and see
hello everyone
i am since 1 week a proud owner of fhis device. And please understand, i choose this device after allot of research en review analyses. I love it,the way it looks, feels etc. However after 1 week of testing and intensive using i came across many small issues that do create some irritation and i wanted to know what to do to fix them. That is if there are fixes available besides resetting the phone everytime they occur.
My first problem is the lock screen. If my phone is locked for a while and i want to unlock it, there is somtimes a good chance that my phone gets stuck and all i can do is resetting it
by removing the battery. My second issue is, that somtimes my opera browser stops rotating to landscape mode. Fixing this requires a phone reboot. My final issue which is the biggest, when i use the youtube app allot. After a while of using the volume control bugs out. Wheb you change volumes during the video, the phone freezes a tiny bit and then a windows error message appears.
What i would like to know if i can fix these problems somehow or if anyone else has simillar experiece as me.
Finally, i would like to know if it is possible to play youtube movies on the standard webbrowser, opera. i got skyfire installed, but it seems very slow and buggy.
Thanks in advance for your time
Hi Hydrad,
Sorry to hear you are having problems. I didn't have any of these problems initially so I can't help you there. It would help however to know what your ROM is, and if you ever updated your ROM.
The ROM my HD2 came with was messy and there were a lot of bugs. I installed Miri's 6.5.x rom and i have no problems whatsoever.
If you haven't done a ROM update before, don't worry it is not that hard, just write here and Id be glad to help.
All the best,
sh.

Follow the link in my signature for Flashing LEO Roms for noobs. Install HardSPL and then pick a rom from many available and flash it via activesync (usb). I would recommend Duttys WWE Rom in in sig to start withbut there are plenty of others that are worthy of flashing.
Flashing a custom rom will fix your freezing issues, fix your opera roatation problem and most include a youtube app to play yourtube videos directly rather than having to go through opera.
If you need anymore help then just shout as theres always people willing to lend there ear and share their knowledge.
Mark.
hi all. thank you for the replies.
i forgot to mention that i updated my rom already to 1.66. My htc is also not branded. I will follow the links you gave me. ty

Don't know if you're still even active in these forums but just wanted to say a huge thank-you for your ROM and as I can't add a message in the developers forums yet, I wanted to add my thanks here!
It is the only custom rom I can currently DL for the S200 but it's absolutely amazing and its like being given a whole new phone to play with. Huge respect for you and your work and I hope you might not be entirely ready to give up on the phone just yet...
I do have one problem however. I flashed your rom from a "virgin" 3.003c firmware and enabled EZinput for full landscape mode. So far so good. everything worked until I went in to the camera - half screen viewfinder displayed, no icons at screen edge and (after 30-40 seconds) the display locked and no hard or soft keys were able to get me out of camera mode. I couldn't even get it to power off, I had to pull the battery and restart. I read in the developers forum that the camera is a source of problems and at one point brainmaster had posted a cab file to reinstall the acer default camera so I installed it and restarted the phone but when I went into the camera again, the exact same thing happened.
Other posts seem to suggest it may be an HTC keyboard/camera conflict but presumably many folk on custom roms got that camera to work to some degree.
Any suggestions you can offer? I don't need it to work perfectly. I don't take that many photos on the phone but I do use it occassionally and I can't use this as a daily rom if locks up every time I accidentally start the camera.
Thanks again. Really appreciate all of the hard work you've put in and this rom does really make an old device sing very sweetly once again.....

First,
I'm glad that the rom is working for you, Thanks!
second,
I'm no longer actively building after my PC's Hd mysteriously crashed and I lost everything before that I was in the process of upgrading the rom to v.1.3.5
and trying to find a solution to the problem you're experiencing now.
It has nothing to do with the keyboard/camera relationship.
The Full Rotating phone canvas I used was developed for HD2 leo, not acerS200
meaning, it uses components native to the HD2 leo in this case, it's camera,video,full screen viewer etc... our problem w/S200 is that the camera,video,picture viewer etc.. being acer components,not HTC Leo's,
function using their own specs,dimensions, and most importantly, it's own resolutions and rotation based on those size resolutions.
I was experimenting with the phone canvas to see if there was a way to separate our acer camera,vid., but lost my HD... as a matter of fact,
I'm using a V.1.3.5 beta in my phone now that has parts of different phone canvas versions i.e. Raphael,Laurentius, Parts of caller ID fixes from laurentius too. But my testing was cut short and I haven't the time or desire to start all over again, sorry
So to finally answer your question, You must " uncheck" "EZinput" under G sensor settings for the camera and video to function properly.
Maybe one day I'll replace my PC's HD and try to cook again but I'm thinking
that it may be easier to buy an "acer stream"('cause I like acer) and see what
that's like.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply.
I really appreciate all the effort that went in to making something as good as this but appreciate that sometimes with technology we all just need to "move on".
I'll look forward to seeing your name (and efforts) pop up elsewhere in the forums.
Cheers.
