Though this may seem strange, annoying, obnoxious...this is actually supposed to be a cool "feature" by HTC -- simulated excessive digit-flipping.
Someone has posted what seems to be a fix for this "feature" on NRG's Photon thread on the rom-development sub-forum.

THANX for the reply ...
that is the most silly feature ever ... hehehehehehehe ... i think at least they should allow it to be turned on and off ...

I will check it out and comment if it worked or not.

Some people who have tried it say it works. It didn't work for me...but I'm running a WM6.5.1-based ROM with Manila 2.5, so maybe however this fix works...doesn't work for my system.
I'd love to get rid of this too............. gunna try the "fix" but I am sure I not only don't know how to do it, since I have the newest and latest photon ROM it won't work.
This didn't work for me on the OEM AT&T ROM
You can swipe up to make the large clock away, and show a smaller clock (in portrait view), but then the large clock still shows in landscape. Suggestions for ways around this? There doesn't seem to be a built-in setting to change this. Any quick CABs or reg edits, aside from installing a different clock?

This is a completely different topic. Please create your own thread for that.
Worked for me. NRG's leo rom. Make sure you disable manilla before copying file into windows. Great!!
This clock-flipping thing seems odd to me, because I've never seen it on my own phone (running UK Vodafone stock ROM).
Does this mean I'm likely going to gain this "feature" when I flash a different new ROM (e.g. one of the ones from the chefs here) ?
i tried but it did not work ... demmit !
thought as much but worth a try anyway ... so we keep on searching ...
thanks
that file worked for me.
topaz; wm 6.5 official rus
Worked for me ...... Cheers
Works for me in my latest Manilla 2.1 rom.
as i can see most people comes back negative with this solution.. so do i..
not a good thing this bloody flipping flopping clock.. so will anybody come up with more successful solution on this one? i'll donate for the one who does

I take absolutely no credit for this. I just can't find the thread anymore. This works on my stock AT&T ROM Tilt2 with TF3D 2.1.

Who has installed this on the HD2? Are there any issues?
I have it and it performs very well. I found some issues with the S2U2 phone answering capability and so have not use that because it appeared to conflict with the slide to answer built in to the handset.
I note that there is an recent S2U2 upgrade though so this may have been addressed. Follow the extensive instructions and you will not go wrong.
I recommend it.
I have it installed too. No noticable problems.
I'm using the tPro theme and it looks pretty cool.

Well, im on 1.48 official german ROM with S2U2 2.24, and i had a huge battery drain over the last two nights. More than 40% were gone after 7 hours of sleep. Im not completely sure if its S2U2 but its the only external program running in the background over night. I have disabled it for now, lets see what happens this night. But try it out for yourself, maybe your're a bit luckier than me^^...
I haven't had any battery problems with S2U2.
I'm using version 2.14.
Have just installed this - how do you get rid of the normal htc lock screen as i dont want to have to unlock twice . thanks

Has anyone had any issues with S2U2 not displaying the caller image if the image is from a linked facebook profile?
Please can someone help. I'm sure I raised this question ages ago but can't find it.
I was using v2.41 and this had the error and now after upgrading to 2.43 the error still exists...
When on a call and another call comes through, The buttons to decide whether to answer the incoming call or to reject it get overlaid by more text from somewhere. More often than not, I make the wrong choice.
The lowest button (3rd?) has a red background if that helps...
Thanks for any help offered!
The "OMG, I can't believe this actually worked on my T-Mobile USA HD2!" Discussion.
So, quite recently on Twitter, I've been informing my followers of things I've tried, managed to accomplish, and/or various ideas on tweaks that I'd like to attempt in the future.
Now, with that in mind...
I'd like to present this thread as an open-discussion topic, to further the common knowledge of everyday users and "1337 h4xz0Rz" alike.
Please, feel free to share a "success story" of something you've managed to make possible on your HD2. Whether it be a registry tweak, theme, custom ROM, or various modifications... be sure to offer as much detailed information as you can, allowing other users to perhaps share in the same experiences.
More-or-less, this is where TESTS, TRIAL-RUNS, and COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS will meet in terms of what CAN and simply CANNOT be done... SAFELY on our devices.
hmm well it wasn't very "1337" but I was pretty happy that I could edit the registry to make TouchTwit blink the LED when I get mentions/msgs.

1) Open registry editor
2) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
3) There will be a lot of GUID entry folders. Find the one that corresponds to the notification you want to alter. When you open the folder, the (Default) value, if set, is the name of the notification that corresponds to the control panel value.
4) Change AvailableOptions from 11 to 15
5) Hit start->settings->Sounds & Notifications->Notifcations
6) Scroll to the notification type you just changed (for me, "TouchTwit: Mentions")
7) The box "flash light for [x]" will no longer be greyed out
Great find. Definitely worth mentioning. This is the kind of stuff we need on here. Thanks for the submission.
reignzone- I would like to know if it is possible to increase the vibe alert intensity on the TmoUS HD2? I did a search and was not able to find anything. I switched from a Razr V3 which had a strong vibe alert. Also, I successfully flashed to HSPL2 and just waiting for a stock rom to flash new rom. Thanks
Can anyone walk me through dumping my stock TmoUS rom so I can post it here which will provide everyone a way to revert to shipped rom?

Well, in terms of vibration intensity... that is usually application specific. The system vibration alerts cannot really be tampered with as far as I know. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. There are applications, "modded" applications that provide various system tweaks that can alter the vibration... but not too many of them are focused on something so "simple" as vibrating alerts.
As for a system dump, that would be excellent. Post in a few other threads in this area, and I'm sure you'll find people that would be glad to assist you in providing that for us all.

Maybe one of you can figure out how to use this program. Good Luck
i installed dusk theme on my tmous hd2 seems to be working fine. i think it even fixed a problem i've been having since day one where it doesnt come back from sleep. so far haven't had to soft restart. i also installed a few other files from the uk version and they seemed to work ok. also all the registy tweaks work fine.

Good stuff guys. Again, thanks for additional feedback.
As for Dusk, yes... I've taken quite a few bits and pieces from that theme and used it on my STOCK build. For instance, the retractable slider themed with Dusk features.
I'm so glad we're finally moving this T-Mobile USA forum along now, it needs more attention from the EURO threads.

That's pretty sweet man, pretty sweet. How'd you manage that?
I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I just installed and tested quite literally, every transparent home tab slider from the guys at PPCMods.
And needless to say, each one of them worked, flawlessly. Also, they all look just gorgeous. But after testing "the look" of most all of them... I fell in love with the Colorful Stickers icons. Simple, HUGE, and great design.
Finally, the clock fonts are phenomenal as well... check those out too.

Pretty simple - just get the HTC Networking add-on or (I use) Resco Explorer & its network client. Wi-fi up, point it to a file share with your creds, et voila! I find TCPMP and/or Core Player to be tops for viewing.

Hi, guys.
When I make a picture with my HD2, the flashlight is too much strong...
Is there a way to reduce the lights?
Thank you,
Luigi.
Up close the in-built flash will be strong...
Go to settings and turn the brightness down... That will help...

In the settings can reduce only the brightness of LCD Display, don't reduce the double LED Lights...
First of all: Rom version and which hotfixes you have?
camera flash light
This is already known problem with lots of description in other threads.
Basicly the problem is camera timing when flash light is in auto mode, because light meassurements are done before flash blink or there is some delay, and therefore pictures are overexposed.
Simple solution is to change flash mode before you make a picture from AUTO to ON, and than make a picture. Light meassurement will be much stable.
Somewhere was mentioned that there is already a fix for this problem, maybe rumors maybe not, so some search can be usefull
You have right, but if author having old 1.4x ROM, where was huge problems with flash, so he should update ROM or install hotfix from HTC site.
Thats why i ask about ROM version.
Well, this is very tricky part from HTC, that ROM updates(or even partial fixes) have no description which problems were fixed.
This is the reason why also people have very various experiences with this device.
Try putting your finger infront of the flash while taking the picture

Hello, i am running 1.66 rom on a generic htc hd2 with a t-mobile contract.
I cant update to the very latest rom because theyve only released it for branded phones!
The first bug ive comes across is the Facebook profile pictures in my favourites list sometimes switch around betweeen different people, so say joe's profile picture appears on bills name! happens every so often, and its very irritating. the only solution is to delete both contacts and re enter them into the phone!
The second is when im texting, at the start of the text, after i have done a few characters, sometimes it scrolls up to the last text and selects it, meaning i can still type, but i cant see what im typing, the keyboard covers everything im typing.
Incredibly irritating, i then have to minimize the keyboard, then maximize it aagain.
Also, a new occurance, when i switch on my phone it says launching htc sence and stays there for ages, when i click the cross, i get onto my phone, its as if sence had already loaded and just not removing the message.
The next thing is the wifi, is it meant to switch off affter a while? my battery went from 100 percent to 0 in about 5 hours! (not even joking) i just leaave it off now..
OOh and whilst im at it, one more thing. Can you sync your emails over data conneection? It always displays 'synchronisation error' when ever i try to sync over data connection, but on wifi it connects and downloads perfectly!
Any ideas on any of these issues? has anyone else experienced them?
thanks in advance

I don't use the Facebook app as it is absolutely usless, but after a search I found this -'Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.'

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

I am assuming you have BSB Tweaks installed? If so you have the 'Wifi Standby' option in Connections selected on. If you don't have it, download it and make sure it's disabled.

I get this regularly (and also having the keyboard go mental sometimes, switching character sets, entering characters when I'm trying to backspace etc). Seems worse when the phone's hot or when I'm outside and it's windy! But that might just be a coincidence.
I actually sent the phone back to HTC a month or two ago (their customer service was fantastic btw - picked up the phone on a Monday, I had it back by Friday all by courier).
There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.
Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).

thanks for the help! You say i would benefit from flashing a custom rom 235xx, what type of rom is that? for instance you have energy rom etc. Sorry if im sounding like a noob, but i like the original layout of my hd2, and dont want too change it too much if possible, but i would like the performance increases that come with it. thanks

253xx puts the Start button at the bottom of the screen and makes menus and scroll bars bigger, it's called WM 6.5.x.
219xx is the stock look with the Start button at the top and no so finger friendly menu systems.
That's the basics of the differences between them both.
ok thanks i think ill installl standard reference energy rom 235xx one.
Do i need to change my radio before i flash? i have hspl installed.
The reason being is that i have changed the radio rom before and the signal was no where near as good as the stock radio rom. So i flashed back.

If you have an international HD2 you have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio before you flash the Energy ROM. if you leave a 2.xx.51.xx radio on the device you'll brick it.
ok thanks, im gonna update the rom now. The rom i have currently is far superior, but i will flash anyway and make the compromise.
Thanks

Thank you for your feedback!
And also thank you the OP who posted about that SMS problem- which I kept reporting with no echoes.
1) Yeah "reconnected the touchscreen" my @ss. That problem was fixed as soon as I changed ROM.
2) "theres a patch for problem with SMS", my @ss, I installed it did not fix anything- Also, if you read the rom's releases notes everything is "fixing the sms". They forget to mention that they moved the "task manager" in rom 1.66 and changed a few other things-
3) i still had lot of bugs with that rom and device. Now some of them are removed and I'm using Artemis 22A- A few bugs but all minor so far- so I finally start to "enjo..."erm hard word to say after so many months of troubles.
4) also for the "quietly brilliant support" you mention, I would not be so happy if you really knows what happens there: it's likely they will swap your device with 2nd hand device as they discontinued the manufacture of new devices. Also they had shortage of 1 part and they took it from random devices...
My point is you also risk to get 2nd spares part or the whole 2nd hand part... not too nice as it does not means that the original fault/flaw is fixed, and its gambling until your warranty expires...
