I'm sorry if theres been a million of these posts but i seriously regret buying one and now its too late to send it back because its taken me over a month to realise how bad it really is.
Now dont get me wrong, its an amazing piece of kit but its horribly let down by terrible software.
Main features rarely work, Everyone is aware of the LAGGY text problem the terrible text input software, the fact that it loses data connection all the time and has to be restarted to work again, When i come out of standby alot it doesn't work and the buttons light up and i have to take the battery out.
The phone is unresponsive and laggy alot to name but a few.
Its driving me insane, i want to get rid of it but i cant, i'd sell it on but my girlfriend dropped it and scratched it devaluing it and TBH, i'd feel bad selling it to someone knowing how bad it is.
send it back to htc for repair. that **** don't happen with mine!!!!

indeed, only had mine around a fortnight but i havent had any real issues with the phone...not even the camera bugs that were supposed to be wrong with it...all my texts go through straight away same with emails n what not
think these devices are very hit n miss you either get a decent one or a sucky one
appears you got the latter, send it to htc, tell them you want a working version of the phone!
Yeah, send it back to HTC for servicing, it sounds like a **** batch
Tell me this, did you get your phone expecting the best thing ever, and it sort of was until these problems came about but you thought you would hold out for a fix/fixes. Still waiting out you lost your patience and want something that simply WORKS?
I'd agree with what people are saying, sending it back because really, it shouldn't be so unusable. Give them a sharp angry tone, it might quicken up the fixes release for the rest of us!

lol - that could have been any number of things, couldn't it. The least likely is your phone!
Anyway, you do know that it doesn't send the text directly to the phone don't you? It doesn't mean it'll get there quicker if they're right next to each other

Like most of the people here I have not had a single problem with the device. I did however have to loosing connection but that was easily fixed because of a discrepancy between what the htc wizard set up as my internet connection and that which it really was. I'm on the dutch KPN network and instead of the portal being "portalmmm.nl" it should be "internet". No problem since.

yeah, i know, would expect an sms to be sent within 20minutes though!
was saying they're right next to eachother so i wasnt waiting for a reply from someone i would know exactly when the text came through.
i sent a text to my boss yesterday and i havent been sacked so im guess ing that one didnt go through either
Yeah well, When i say she dropped it, it was from 2ft and the phone would have been fine normally but it hit a stone with scratched it.
I had these problems before anyhow and i was waiting as someone said...for updates to fix it, there have been many updates with no fixes and any fixes i do get are user created ones!
I had an Iphone previously which worked fine and was a bit slow at times i didnt expect the HD2 to be the best thing ever but i expected it to be quicker than my iPhone, i couldnt foresee the problems the HD2 would have as ive had HTC's in the past with no problems and i rate the company very highly.
I'm just so dissapointed.
I got the mobile through Mobilephones direct with T-mobile contract, who do i get in contact with? Mobilephones direct? T-mobile or HTC?

Wow, I read about these experiences that people have and feel very lucky to have a rock solid HD2 in my hands...
To the OP: I presume you've hard reset the phone/installed newer ROMS?

Yeah man, factory reset's, updated the rom, tried all versions and still get same problems.
I'm another person who's had no problem with the device - and I am quite demanding. I have not made any changes to the device as delivered other than registry tweaks. I did run the HTC official quick-fixes, found they caused chaos and assiduously removed them all. All the software I've installed has been well-tried commercial stuff.
The only unusual thing I have to do is to disconnect data services before I go to bed, otherwise it won't sync with MyPhone...
i experience kinda the same problems, laggy texting or even no texting at all until restart, data connection dropping and again needing restart...
but still most of the times it works great, better than any previous phone i had. despite these little annoyances i still say i love my hd2 and wouldnt trade it for any iToy.
hd2 issue..tg01
i have the tg01 and i love it..i was having issue with the phone as well and discovered that if you install certain programs to the sd card it makes the phone laggy..and have to reboot....i had the spb shell 3.5 and i installed it on the sd card and it was laggy and the 3d accelerator didnt work..so i uninstalled and installed it on the phone and ...now the phone is very stable..havent had any issue...food for thought...
I've just received my complimentary Nexus One from Google, and I'd be so happy if only one thing - WiFi does not work at all.
I tried to install this update to ERE27, but it did not help much. Actually it helped a little, before the update the phone just did reboot on an attempt to turn on the WiFi, now it does nothing (just saying "Turning on..."). Any ideas?
I can't believe Google sends out broken devices for free just to get rid of defective ones...

Did you go into the phone settings' wireless and networks menu? (main screen -> menu button -> Wireless and networks)
If you look in Wifi settings you should see all the broadcasted SSID's. If not, then you may have an issue afterall.

Your phone is f~cked.
Send it back.
Sorry to tell you this. But hey at least I know what you're going through.
And you're lucky I saw this thread, as we're probably the only two people in the world to ever have this issue.
Luckily, I sent it back for a refund and it works great. To be honest, I was STRONGLY considering just sending it back for a refund instead of a swap and sticking with my G1 (man that would have sucked).
I am so glad I did a swap, and DAMN I love this phone. Haven't looked back since.
Nope, you guys aren't the only one who had wifi problems. My wifi wouldn't function at all on my first Nexus One... had to send it back for a new one and the second worked like a charm.

repair required
Thank you, guys, for responses.
I've called HTC and requested the repair.
Unfortunately, because it's complementary they do not send a new phone for replace, I have to send my broken one for repair.
Got it back from HTC today. They replaced it with a different phone, so probably that broken WiFi was not repairable. I hope everything works now.

Thanks for asking, wifi works fine. I'm writing from it now. And it seems the trackball did not work property on that broken one too. I wonder the other people who got a free N1 from Google, have same crap?
Sometimes I wonder why Google even bothers doing the device giveaway when miserable sods like you accuse them of sending out "crap". You don't like your free phone? Send it back, buy another one.
For crying out loud - everyone else in the program is exceptionally grateful and all you can do is whinge about it.

Really? After reading all 14 of your posts, I realize that I can't seem to dumb myself up enough to understand your poorly written thoughts. I have taken the liberty of quoting my absolute favorite of all your well thought out posts below. I think the use of "sound so stupid" within it is priceless.
You're definitely proof that reproduction has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence! How else would you have grandchildren?
Do the forum and yourself a favor and spare us your remarks so as to not "sound so stupid !!!"
Do your grandkids a favor and never attempt to read them a bedtime story!
ven2112 said:
hi, firstly may i say im sorry for asking these questions as to you guys they will sound so stupid !!! after giving up my trusty se k800i after many years & pressure of the grandkids to move with the times i now have a htc wildfire ( didnt even know who htc were untill now !) although i seem to be getting to grips with it ( well kinda lol ) i am quite dissapointed that there wasnt a better instruction manual in the pack, i only got a quick start guide, so these are the things i would like to know
text message- how do i forward a recieved message? i cant find the option anywhere ?
is there a option to get up all the text boxes? ie: sent box, recieved,drefts etc..
locked- is there any other way to wake the phone up apart from the on/off button at the top? i have problems with this now as i bought a gel cover & its makes it harder to use with 1 hand !
glowing buttons- is there anyway to have the 4 buttons (home,menu etc ) on the bottom glow when the phone is in use? these are impossible to see in low light & i am sick of hitting the wrong 1 !!
apps- is there a app for viewing tv on the wildfire? bbc i player , catch up tv etc, i looked on the net & skyfire seems to be the app but when i search the market its not there ?
anyway , that will do for now lol, im sure i will be back with more stupid questions soon lol, i quite like the feel of this phone although i was very dissapointed that it will not do video calls as this is a feature i used quite a lot on my old phone as i work away & chatted to the grandkids & they showed me stuff they had made at school etc, its my own fault for not checking i suppose, i just assumed, if old phones can do it surely the cutting edge phones can, i was wrong lol, anyway thanks for letting me drone on !!!

:good:
they were just questions about a new phone i had purchased, i don't do gizmos & thought i would just ask on here as there were a lot of people on who knew what they were talking about, after all i thought that was the idea of these forums to pass on knowledge & if you don't ask you don't learn, obviously i was wrong as there's people like you who know it all, anyway i see from your profile that your a usa marine, i worked along side them many years ago when i was a engineer in the royal navy & if i remember correctly when i said “good morning “ to them they were stuck for a answer! so i fully understand why you get excited over a new screen protector, anyway thanks for your invaluable help & i think i will just leave it there! :laugh:
Here's what I get buying a phone from a little Chinese company:
Gmail did not work when I first got the phone.
Oppo released a firmware update yesterday, which fixed the Gmail issue.
However, the firmware introduced a new issue: SMS now does not work
Next update will probably break the phone dialer.
I suppose Oppo doesn't think the fundamental essence (phone/sms/email) of a phone is all that important.

That's not fair mate.
I just got mine today,and I like the phone very much.
If there are problems,the oppo team and forum members will get into it.
If you don't like the phone,sell it.
Don't give the people at oppo the blame,they are doing the best they can.

Thanks,if Knite75 doesn't beat you to it and is feeling charitable,I'd appreciate that.
for a company that's as highly regarded for their top end AV equipment.... they'll get it right!
It kind of sounds like you weren't ready for this device anyway, it has been stated OVER AND OVER that the software is still in development and that it isn't perfect yet. However I'm fairly certain that I know what your problem is.
You might have put in the wrong area codes for your contacts, for instance in The Netherlands the number most people would use would be: 06xxxxxxxx instead the Find 5 requires it to be formatted like this: +316xxxxxxxx . It's a hassle but by syncing all of your contacts into google.com/contacts you can edit them within 10 minutes and never have any trouble with it again.
Another thing, try posting these kinds of issues on the OPPO Forums.. They are highly populated and they will help you find a solution for the stock firmware much faster than most of us on XDA could...
Please give your Find 5 to someone who will appreciate it more..
Thank you.
I have over 500 contacts, and most with multiple contact numbers.
I'll see if I can find the time to edit them all to the number format you suggested.
Strange, it was working okay, until the latest firmware update.

I don't know why the phone has a problem discerning which country it should dial I just know it's having some trouble with it.
Might be as easy as writing a base code to change the 0 into the country code the user is currently in.
For international calls you will always have to use the +1/+31 notation.
Works fine here in US, They will get it fixed looked what all they fixed with update number+1.
I probably got my Find 5 well before just about anyone on this forum (devs and beta testers excluded) and since day 1 it's been the best phone I've ever owned/used. Obviously there were problems with the Chinese firmware, but those were quickly resolved. Oppo brings out an update just about every week for this phone. It's fast, slim, beautiful and powerful. And Oppo is a major manufacturer of electronics even in America, albeit for media electronics like bluray players etc. You obviously aren't using Google enough to resolve your problems, and your problems all sound like software related bugs, which can be easily resolved by updating to any official update of the international ROM. Oppo is not to blame.

Okay, thanks but I just noticed it and she has had the phone since release and we got it from verizon... so we are screwed I just wanted to see if I could fix it some how.
@PhillyD77 Im sorry to hear that, did you get insurance on it. If so I would wait to use insurance until the phones not usable. you may be able to see if the play store has and app to try and fix bad pixels, some people say things like that sometimes work on pcs, but I have always doubted that they even work all. Let us know if you try anything and what the outcome is. Thanks
