Sure it has a lovely screen.
Sure the build quality is nice.
Sure the internet browsing is fantastic.
Now the basic functions of the phone:
Texts are delayed and, I kid you not, often go to a different person in your contacts list!!!
Phonecalls are terrible. The earpiece volume is SO loud it is deafening, you need to raise the volume and then lower it on every single call in order to get a low volume. This is an extremely tedious process.
Speakerphone is unusable in anything but a noisy environment. It is WAY too loud, even on the lowest setting. It also distorts like crazy.
Hard keys on bottom only light up *after* you have pressed them.
CoPilot Live is rubbish!!! Unusable. Takes you the wrong route time and time again.
Calendar snooze time is set at 5 mins and impossible to edit for longer.
The camera is actually very good, despite all this talk of it being poor and the pink colour in the centre. It's all the *basic* phone problems which make this the worst mobile phone I have ever used.
Is this just my handset? Have I got a faulty one????
Unfortunately you are right, I am having the same issue. I don't care about the Camera.. I just need to perfrom the basic phone features.
Hopefully HTC is reading us.
We are still using the first Stock ROM which is obviously buggy and it is expected.
However, HTC should hurry up and come up with a new upgrade and Hotfix patches, else, I will seriously consider selling the device. I can't wait more than two other weeks.
only problem with mine is the camera...none of the other issues you say you have...
to bad
People said the same things with the blackstone and diamond, magic, atom, kaiser etc etc etc. Is this your first HTC? last phone a nokia? For every problem you stated there's a solution, reg tweaks, programs what ever. This is my 5th htc device, they all start out like crap but once their tweakt they are superior to any other phone. But once again out of the box it's no nokia.
Good luck and good hunting (for the tweaks)
Um... slight exageration... there a couple niggles so its the worst phone ever? I think its the best phone ever, with a few niggles.
I dont have a problem with my texts being delayed. It lags a little bit when there are loads of texts, but I just clear them out. (one niggle I would like fixing though)
The speaker volume for me is perfect, yes it is loud, but I just keep it turned down and its fine, but it also means if I need to I can turn it up! which is a much better than not being able to have it loud enough. (Fine the way it is)
Speakerphone is supposed to be loud?! again, set it to a low volume and its fine, and if you need it to be louder then you can turn it up. (Fine the way it is)
Dont care about the hard keys lighting up, took me maybe a day, if that to get used to where the buttons are, dont need them to light up (Fine the way it is)
CoPilot is rubbish, but thats nothing to do with the phone, use iGO its miles better.
Calender snooze option, I hadnt noticed, will have a look...
As to if you phone is faulty, I would say operator error

Never had the sms problem
Huh on the phone volume?? Maybe im def or something becuase this seems perfect in my opinion.
Speakerphone... see volume comment above
I don't use copilot, i use tomtom, so no problem here. When i tried it out, it s worked perfectly for my route
Never tried the calendar snooze, but that isn't enough for me to agree with you.
SO i have to completely dsagree, best device ive owned by FAAAAR

Put it down on the table and walk away, it's just a phone not a crisis point in your life.

Hd2 = best phone / pda ever made
I am a heavy phone / PDA user ( around 7000 min per mounth phone and i have un unlimited data contract). My only problem is that HD2 was not here 10 years ago .
Sure is not perfect and bugs are there too but if u want a bug free phone buy a classic phone not a small computer. The OS and the HTC senses are very complex programs and there is no way hell to be ever bug free.
So all HTC phones are rubbish out of the box, I need to 'tweak' them in order to get them to work? I don't mind tweaking things but basic phone functions such as speakerphone, call volume and texting *should* work out of the box. All of you who claim your phone volume is fine must be deaf! There are several guys on this forum who complain about the in-call volume, speakerphone volume and distortion coming through the speakers....so this isn't a one-off faulty handset that I own.
Take the hands off that phone and walk away. It's better for both sides.
Disappointed people, sell the God damn thing
Sell it to me cheap then! I'll be happy to pass it on to someone who appreciates it more (and has more patience)
Ah ah ah ah
Why were you so hurry to buy such expensive phone ???
Weren't you able to wait some times to see if some issues raised
Your post is ... what´s the word you like to use ... ah yes ! your post is rubbish.
Sell you phone, you are not the kind of youngster that needs such a phone
Last week I sold my iPhone 3G 16Gb and two days ago I bought my first HTC device - the HD2. Yes, it has some bugs, yes, I reseted it several times, but overall the experience is great. From the problems, mentioned in the first post, I have only the last one, but the camera in my iPhone was nowhere near the HD2 one. So, I am very happy, it is a great phone with a great community. Someone complaint that you need to tweak the device before use it, but that is a positive thing, take the iPhone, which in most cases lacks the ability for customizations. I am really glad that I changed my device and I hope, we'll see some great ROMS, games and apps for the HD2.
I arrived on the Pocket PC scene with thge Xperia X1, I would say that this was my worst phone out of the 3 I've owned.
My second was the near perfect Touch Diamond 2, great.
My present one is the HD2, which despite the issues, I would not regret buying it as I believe and hope the issues will get addressed and sorted. Yep, the best phone I've ever had.

My HD2 Doesn't have any of your problems, including the pinkish color in the center.
You can try Garmin XT instead of Copilot. Other then that, i think most of the problems can be fixed software wise, we just gotta wait for new roms to come out .
I want my click back!

Hahaha, that's the proper comment for this thread.
So here's my issue.
During a call if i recieve a SMS/MMS/Email, my earpiece volume drops dramatically and i can use the volume rocker and put it too full and it still doesn't get back to a decent level.
So i was wondering if anyone else has noticed this and is having this small problem, other than that i am completely happy with the phone so far , haven't touched my iPhone since i recieved the Nexus One Jan 7th
P.S. i have SMS Popup app installed and same problem, so i have tried removing the app and still no cure
I haven't tried this on SpeakerPhone or BT Headset
I can 2nd this bug.
Along side, if you were to use any touch tone to send DTMF tones while on the phone (say you're entering your credit card or something), it also goes down real low. This is definitely a bug.
C
ya ....argh!!...hopefully a firmware update fix
I have experienced the bug as well...but what is even more strange is that if I get another text message or email and it causes the phone to vibrate the in-call volume shoots up even louder than it was before. I think it may have something to do with dual microphone and background noise cancellation this phone has.
No problem for me?
Just thought I'd offer some more input, but I don't think my phone is experiencing this problem..? I am currently on the phone with T-Mo, and had to enter numbers via the number pad while in the call, and the volume didn't adjust (neither up or down) at all.
I'm glad I found this thread. I should have read through all of the posts in XDA before starting a brand new thread about this. Sorry guys! I even have this issue listed on google's help forum with some ppl indicating the same. The call volume decrease for me when a call comes in. I have to put the phone on speaker, then take it off speaker in order to get the volume back to where it was. I use to have the volume decrease during an active call when a email or text comes in, but a small work around was to set the ringtone and notifications to silent in settings and in text and emails. Does anyone know if this is a software or hardware issue? or if there will be an OTA update to fix? This phone is amazing otherwise...I know there isn't a TON of ppl reporting this, so I hope google doesnt forget about us. I received a replacement that did the same thing along with new bugs the original didn't have, so I sent it back.
I have it also. Just thought it was me!
@johnboywilson, do you think google will come out with an OTA update for this? This is technically my first android phone, so im not sure how often they come out with updates, or if they get to all the issues no matte how few ppl might be having them. I had WinMo before, and they were pretty good at getting to bugs, sometimes even if just a handful of ppl have them. I had a samsung behold II for 2 weeks. I've only been using android for a little over a month now.
next time this happens will someone try swapping to speaker phone then back to handset and see if it goes back to where it was. I've had a problem a couple times where I couldn't hear the caller, switched to speaker phone, heard them fine, switch back to handset and the volume was back to normal. I honestly dont remember if I had received a notification at the time or not but I'd be curious to know if it is the same thing.
@zjchaser, if you had seen my two previous posts, you would have seen that I use the speaker phone on then off method to correct the volume decreasing when a call, text or email comes in while on a call. This is just a work around and not a fix. I need to know if we will get an OTA update to correct???
@Mrplennium I`m sure they will. if you go onto google support pages you will see what questions people are asking and what faults other people are experiencing.
@zjchaser I have had that problem too. If im on a call and i switch between speaker phone and handset the sound goes off. If i then make a new call the sound is still off and i have to switch between speaker and handset to get it to come back on!
Still love the phone though..
@johnboywilson, I hope you are right. I am one of those ppl that started a thread on the google forum about this issue, and others have been reporting it. I was just fearful that this is one of those issues that's in the minority, so google might skip over it. I hope that's not the case. Other than that, this is by far the BEST phone i've ever owned. I have no other issues with it.
I use the wired headset mostly, but I can confirm this as well. It isn't just another call or SMS for me that causes it...anything that adds a notification (SMS, plugging in to USB, email...anything!). The volume either goes crazy up, or crazy down. It seems to alternate.
It went down the other day after an email during a call, so I had to put the rocker all the way up just so it would sound normal. Shortly thereafter, I got a text and lost my hearing for about 10 mins...the phone can get very loud.
Seriously, this needs to be fixed.
Yup, it happens through the wired headset as well. I think it's def a software issue. Hope you have google people patrolling this site and seeing these issues as well. The first OTA update is coming this week, but for the 3G issue. No one knows what other possible fixes might be included.
Even received a replacement that did the same thing. Not sure why some ppl have working devices, and others have these software glitches. I doubt i'll ever be an early adopter again.
WOW! ok, after 3 preliminary tests, I can conclude that the OTA update has resolved this issue!!!!! YEEPEEE!!!!!!!! Now the phone is PERFECT! I will keep monitoring the situation throughout the day to see if it stays that way, which I can't imagine why it wouldn't!!!THANK YOU GOOGLE!!!!
it didnt fix the problem when i did the update,still have low incall volume
If you have low incall volume - rise it, or flash a kernel with volume boost hack. This bug has been resolved months ago. You're talking about something else.
Let me start by saying I LOVE this phone. Besides the 3G issue, it is a definitely an iphone killer! But, even though there are one or two things that could be corrected, the one issue that is a bit annoying is when im on a call, and a text, another call or email comes in, it throws the call volume all the way down till I can barely hear the person. I have to put the phone on speaker, then take it off speaker so it goes back to a leveled range where I can hear the person on the other end again. Am I the only one this is happening to? Is this a software issue? If yes, will it be addressed in the next OTA update?
I have the same issue. Hoping for a fix soon.
I just discovered there is a thread about this already. Guess I should have read through all of the posts on here. But none the less, it is annoying. I really hope it's a software issue and there will be a fix soon. Since the amount of ppl experiencing this is still in the minority compared to the 3G and touchscreen issues, I hope google doesn't forget about us..
Evo/sense answers calls when taken out of pocket even when screen locked since to answer is to scroll down which is natural movement when taking it out of pocket.
Any app that works great that does not interfear with calls. Side swipe would be best i think. I'm rethinking sense-less ROM now but i don't know which onces are senseless. Need stable and low battery consuming rom or an app. Any idea ?
I've been having this problem as well ever since upgrading to Froyo, I don't know if they increased the screen sensitivity or what but never had the problem before. I always either decline the call sending it straight to voicemail or if i'm lucky it answers the call instead, it's quite annoying.
maybe this thread will be of use
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727564
i have had this prob since i got the phone. mostly towards the afternoon when it's the hottest out. i switched to screen facing out, away from leg but fear screen getting broken, also trying to be conscious of how i pull it out of my pocket so not to answer an unwanted call by mistake.
Hi
I bought a new motorola droid razr m,
I use it international (GSM and WCDMA) and sometimes the other side does not hear me (Like a silence). Is there any way to fix it? an app or something?
Please help It is a good phone but it does not worth it if it does not work perfectly.
Does it happen on speaker phone also?
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Actually, I have a similar problem. When on speakerphone, the other person can hardly hear me, and so the feature is basically useless. And I've also noticed that the in-ear speaker is also on the low audio quality side. Is this a hardware issue? If so, might be time to upgrade...
i have the same problem from time to time but hasent happened since i updated to kitkat but its too soon to tell if the update did anything about that issue. one thing that i noticed if i pressed the google talk button on the top of the main screen it would strobe like there was st\eady sound waves going through no matter how silent the room was, its easier to test with google search button rather than make calls. (i would not recomend this uness you are out of ideas or just dont care) but i slammed it against a wall a couple times and whadaya know it started to work again. it may sound caveman-ish but maybe if youve dropped it few times something becomes slightly disconnected :silly: i got mine for free cause the screen was cracked slightly in exchange for some time fixing a friends xbox so i didnt really care about messing anything up any further but it worked for me.
