I saw that there are forums added for some WP7 devices. I was wondering why there's no forum created for the HTC Trophy 7. (I get one this thursday and I really need some roms etc .. no, the official reason for asking is, I believe the Trophy 7 is one of the only devices HTC is going to launch in Europe, so I think a forum would be very appreciated.
I was about to ask about this.
I get mine Trophy 7 deliverd tomorrow, but it's vodafone branded.
It should work with my KPN sim, at least thats what the shop said, but I want to get rid of the vodafone branding in the software.
There also wont be any logo's on the phone itself, just the software.
I'm sure i can flash an official HTC rom on it.... but i'll need some help.
I do have some experience with flashing. been flashing my Touch Pro since the first month i got it (been 2 years already )
so please make an Trophy 7 related section for us guys from Holland
HTC 7 Trophy
Hello all togeteher,
I was going to ask exactly the same question. I think there are already a few people who would like to see a Forum which can be used for discussions etc. about the HTC 7 Trophy.
I too would also like to see this trophy section created. This and the HD7 (I believe) are the only wp7 devices available from htc that are unlocked so these should get the most attention imho.
Trophy forum coming soon! Today we added a couple more WP7 forums.
today i was the proud receiver of a HTC Trophy
Been playin with it for a couple of hours now, but it incredibly smooth.
I'm happy with it

Did you receive the Vodafone's branding device? Is there any logo on the device? How about the software? Is it about a vodafone theme that you can change or something permanent?
thanks in advance for the answer

your making me super excited!!!! i get mine on monday!!! monday morning, few hours from now. feel like a little kid before Christmas, havent had this feeling for a long time.
hopefully htc and MS fixed this whole xbox xtras app that crashes on htc phone tommorrow. wanna shake my phone and make my avatar fall down....ooooh its raining hailstones!!
sorry for the late reply..
it's indeed the vodafone branded one.
The guy from the shop called me about it. and i asked the guy if there was any branding on the phone itself and he confirmed that there is no branding on the phone.
So when i received it, i was quite anxious about it, but there is only a bootscreen with the vodafone logo, a tile with vodafone (wich i deleted right away) a vodafone app (also deleted) and the manual setup of my APN settings (just had to fill in portalmmm.nl for my Hi account ) and thats it.
Ow and the tiles where red, but adjustable to your prefered setting (mine is blue right now)
@levi3man: xbox live and avatar are working fine, but i replaces my regular live account with an WP7 exclusive one because my contacts from my regular acount is a mess, and there are some people in there my girlfriend wouldn't be to happy about .
So i made an new account with no avatar at the moment.
g'day there.
just wondering if you can tell me if you can swap out the microsd card in the Trophy? this has been rumoured on a few sites.
cheers,
milka
I got mine from vodafone NZ and it has absolutely no branding at all, not even the common vodafone start up screen. Perhaps they didn't have enough time to flash it given NZ was the first place in the world to release a wp7 device?
Hey guys just wondering if someone could let use know what the screen is like under direct sunlight? Although it is not that important I would still like to know what I am getting myself into.
I currently have a desire and it's quite poor in direct sunlight - just for reference.

It's usable under direct sunlight, a lot better than my nexus ones amoled display. Perhaps comparable to my old 3gs and maybe a bit less than samsung's super amoled displays.
The SD-card is not in a separate slot below the battery or something so you can't remove it.
I haven't had any issues under sun-light, it's readable and clear enough.
the only thing that bugs me now is that the notes app does't work after the HTC update... Not that i'm using it but still
still playing with the phone, and as i go along, i'm discovering new features.
With windows phone 7 attached to your winlows live profile, you can do some neat things, at least i think their neat
You can map your phone, and it shows on a map the location of the phone, and in my case it was spot on.
You can ring your phone, wich lets your phone ring, so you can find it if you lost it in your room.
You can lock your phone, where the app asks for an 4 digit code to unlock the phone, and an optional message. With this app you can lock your phone from a distance and on wake (power button press) the phone shows an message that the phone is locked or your optional message. and after an reboot the phone still stays in locked state. The only way to unlock it is to enter the 4 digit code. It's still possible to make emergency calls with it.
And the final thing you can do is erase your phone, revert it to factory settings i guess, because i didn't test this part

It doesn't feel plastic at all. The glossy finish gives it a sort of "industrial design" look. Also, the coating on the back gives it a very sturdy grip.
All in all I like the minimalistic design of this phone. It's one of the best designs I've ever seen from HTC. But of course that's a matter of taste.
No scratching of the lens/flash. The lens/flash/speaker compartment is a bit raised, so when it is laying on the table it doesn't lay completely flat. The angle is just enough to prevent scratching.
bootup logo
I've got my Trophy with a boot up logo from Vodafone. Is there any way to get rid of that bootup screen?
Thanx in advance

ho hum *yawn* will i ever learn?
i think this is my last htc device that has moving parts!

Lol well i have my doubts then something restores my faith in it. I just used mikey's tutorial sticky on encoding video's and after doing it and watching lord of war and the transformers on this beautiful phone my faith in the future of the g1 is once again restored!!!
Just wondering what all the hype about root is because I have no idea what I can do with it even if i had it.
Semi-interesting Android phone (not G1)
This is a little off-topic, but it might be of some interest to Android aficionados.
http://www.kogan.com.au/shop/android-powered-kogan-agora-pro-mobile-phone/
Kogan, an Australian company, is scheduled to release the first Android phone for domestic and worldwide shipping in January. Its form factor is something like an HTC Excalibur (T-Mobile Dash) or a Blackberry Curve running Android. But the price is the best point. The "Agora Pro" version with GPS and wi-fi will sell for AU$399 and the leaner "Agora" for only AU$299. Using Handy Calc, that comes to about US$260 (£175/205€) for the pro and US$195 (£130/155€) for the plain version.
Pros (IMHO):
Cheap
Familiar smartphone form factor with no moving parts
256MB on-board memory, 128MB flash, plus SD-card slot
624MHz processor
1300mAh battery
3G worldphone for everything but T-Mobile USA's 3G
Will work with AT&T 3G
Cons (IMHO):
Smallish resistive touchscreen
No 1700MHz band for 3G on T-Mobile in the US
Uses a joystick-like pointer instead of a more ergonomic d-pad
Same OS limitations as the G1 (bluetooth, etc.)
At least it looks more legit than the G2 phone that one company said was coming out LOL
I wonder... The phone looks alot like BlackJack III
, would it be possible to flash WinMo to the Kogan....
I like it I miss the candybar layout- a sliding keyboard that squeaks vs. no moving parts for me is a no brainer (actually the setup on the new blackberry is intriguing as well) It would be nice if the specs on the internal memory would start increasing, seeing as how cheap memory seems to be getting lately. If it worked on tmo's 3g, I would be all over it.

Haha nice, oh well I still like the Dash for now... Even though the G1 can do somethings that the dash can't.... and the 3g on the g1 is amazing... I wish there was ultimately a way to have an emulator on the g1...
Could anyone point me to the right direction of this all > What are Root, RC8, RC29 and RC30 etc. Is there a starting point on this forum about the phone, about installing apps, from market and pc (pc > dont think this is possible yet?). I was under the impression the G1 was as open as can be. Then what's the point of jailbreaking. Does the over the air update effect a G1 in The Netherlands? I've read alot, but I can't put the pieces together/in the right order, because I didn't start from the beginning. Thank you in advance.
I live in The Netherlands and we have 240 Volts coming out if the walls. In the US this is 110V if I'm correct. Is it possible to use another HTC charger bought in The Netherlands to charge the phone?
Finally got my screen to stop squeaking...
the easy way....
(this is actually a friends G1, he wont tell me how it happened, but I am pretty sure it was thrown.)

1) Go to the Developers sub-forum for the RCxx threads (more detail there than you will probably want initially, then not enough detail as you hack-away!)
2) installing apps are phone -> market or internet at the moment. I think there is a way to install from the SD card (which means PC -> SD) but I personally have not explored that method yet.
3) it is very open and will be more open in the future, this is still a "baby" phone/OS. The RC30 OTA was to stop 99% of the people from trashing their phones by mistake thereby reducing the calls to customer service. On the other hand, plain text typing from the keyboad (reboot, etc) wasn't a very good thing. We'll see improvements on this in the future. Personally, I think the term 'jailbreaking' is misapplied here, the iPhone has many more issues. As far as SIM unlocking, that is available free from TMo.
4) the OTA updates will catch up to you in the NL, I am not certain if you will get the UK version or the US version.
5)the US charger is autosensing for line voltage and accepts 110-240V AC, no need to buy another unless you'd prefer a native plug for the wall instead of the US 'spade' type.
Welcome to a great phone.
--M
Connect G1 with USB. If you're missing the USB driver, get it here. Grab a copy of adb from here. Unzip it into the folder with the apks you want to install. Open a console, navigate to the folder with the apks and adb, and type adb install xxx.apk, where xxx is the name of the apk you want to install.
Anyone want to sell a g1 or maybe trade?
Is their anyone out there that would either sell me a g1 at a reasonable price or maybe trade for a hermes plus some cash. The hermes is a cingular 8525, unlocked. I have the charger, headset, usb cable, plus I just bought a new i-mate jasjam case for it. The only thing That is missing is the front camera. If anyone is interested please let me know. I know it is unlikely that it will happen but let me know.

My jaw dropped to the ground in sheer horror on that one.
Coming from the tmobile wing aka HTC herald i thought the HD would be a major upgrade but i have been let down again. I know i could switch roms and get a better experience but why should i have to do this on a device that should be top of the line right out of the box. I dont expect a whole lot out of a phone expect for when i press something it comes up right then. This phone is so laggy and no matter what i do its still slow. I spent 700USD on this screen because thats all the HD is, just a big screen an i am not satisfied with it at all. I tried my best to give the HD a chance but once the samsung omnia hd arrives, to ebay or craiglists my Touch HD goes. Its so annoying texting someone and responding an when i close down the sms window i have 10 new text messages from the same person i was just had a conversation with. Sometimes when i receive a text the phone vibrates forever until i press the home key. When i try to delete all messages the phone starts to count how many messages i have and when it reaches the max number of messages i have it starts counting over again and just repeats this cycle until i hit the end key. No matter how many times i set for a message,voicemail or notification to show up on the screen it automatically unchecks itself. I cant even take pics of my childern because the camera is slower than a turtle. Sometimes when i hit the power button to turn the screen off nothing happens at all, the screen is still on. If i didnt pay so much for it i would have thrown it at a wall a long time ago. Windows mobile just isnt for me anymore longer.
to make things easier I suggest you'd buy
1. a camera
2. stand alone GPS system
3. Nokia 1110i
Some lucky person will be getting the best phone on the market nice and cheap
In my opinion, you want 'out of the box, no messing' you should have bought an iPhone. You want a powerful, adaptable device then you get the HD.
The Omnia Pro is also a Windows Mobile device...

Dont' know what rom is in your device but i used my HD with stock rom for about 1 month and half and i didn't find any of the problems you mentioned
i left winmo devices for good twice and if your like me you'l come back because NOTHING ELSE comes close but please try a different ROM thats what the point of these phones are they are massively adjustable to what YOU want.

But i'm curious to know why you left it, and what were the main reasons that brought you back that you couldn't find on the other devices?

You're right... but I was talking about upcoming OMNIA PRO (which will be WM, not Symbian), not OMNIA HD...
Anyway, I made a mistake too, I read "Pro" instead of "HD" in the original post... Seems I must quit on drinking in the morning
Cheers
In the time it took to post the original post... he could have flashed either miri's v11 6.5 or dutty's 6.1 3.3.
Either of which would have made his HD cooler than any symbian device...
He'll be back...

Yeah, ill be getting rid of mine too and getting a Palm Pre or something else. Getting fed up of the HD. Tried all the roms and it still plays up all the time, freezes, crashes, sms counting problems.......time for a change.
HD for sale soon hehe
I am on my 3rd HD already. Everything i sell it and want to get something new i would always just get the HD back. It might not be a perfect device but a lot better than all the other WM phones i have used.
Even my iphone fanboy friend came back to the HD after the iPhone because of the amazing screen and the TouchFlo3D

I'm sure you'll get a few offers!!
I bet a lot of the so-called "problems" he's having stems from the 3rd party software installed on his phone, rather than the phone itself acting up.
Unless the phone was really buggy, problems don't just happen by themselves. And seeing as the majority of users on this forum aren't complaining about the same issues you have, the problem is most likely with the software installed.
If you can't deal with these issues never get a smartphone. especially a Windows Mobile.
The HD is definitely by far the most flexible and best smartphone device for me at the moment. I like to be able to surf the web without having to always zoom in and out like crazy
My own complaint is that the HD's screen quality (color wise) is no where near as good as the X1... but I can live with that.
coolfire +1 lol
they all come back
ok if any of you that are leaving have a t8285 for sale let me know.
I like the other posters am really curious to know if the OP is using a stock rom, and if he ran the HTC updates or even the new rom.
As another user posted i had no such problems for the brief moment in time the stock rom lived on my device...and i have to say i am completely, entirely infatuated with Dutty and his work.
It is also likely that you have a defective machine or as another user mentioned your 3rd party software is causing problems.
I'm not going to say my HD is perfect, but the usage is an improvement over the 8525 i had before...and there is no way i could go back to such a device...now the Toshiba tG01...that i want...though i desperately am in need of a us carrier or 850 mhz 3g version
After T-Mobile (UK at least) totally RUINED the Diamond 2, TyTn II and other previous HTC models (and by that, i mean they physically changed the casing etc). Does anyone know if the HD2 is going to be horribly re-branded and ruined?
Appreciate any feedback
Thanks
It doesn't (fortunately) look like it. For the first time ever, when you try and select a mobile phone in the T-Mobile website, there's an option to select an HTC phone. And the HD2 shows up in that choice. So, hurraaaaah, no more magenta or proprietary widgets.
Dude, don't you worry anymore! The HTC HD2 will be the second HTC device which will not be branded by T-Mobile. First device was HTC Touch2. Is this the end of HardSPL? At least it is the end of bleeding eyes due to Magenta poisoning....
Cheers mate!!
Oh joyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Haha awesome, if you're both right, then i'm defo calling them up tomorrow to get a sweet upgrade deal
According to T-Mobile the demand for "original" HTC devices was overwhelming.... hence they stopped making a mess out of beautiful hard- and software. Finally.........

Damn right. I couldn't believe how cheap and nasty they made the Diamond and Diamond2 look
I've flashed the T-Mobile ROM on an HD2 and it is thankfully 95% un-modded.
There is the odd T-Mobile splurge here and there, but other than that it is very much an HTC ROM.
The same applies to the Vodafone ROM as well, come to think of it!
I was more concerned about the hardware, but it's nice to know they've cut down on the software butchering too
The have hacked it a bit, removed youtube widget and oc forced opera to start on their laughably small tmob favourites/wnw clearly sized for qv not wv. There is a tmob im prog (nasty squinting sperm as icon) which fails to load every time with an error 'Sorry there was an error pls restart'. ??
I think they may have done more wrecking, mine seems a bit jerkey/stuttery at times. I fancy a re rom but am v new - any pointers, whats's good and how to do it?
I was an owner of a t-mobile branded diamond, and tbh, it thought the t-mobile casing was a lot prettier ^^

I still have one and I totally agree. But having said that, the same does not apply to all models.
Riding home today, I had my loved Legend in my jacket pocket and the zipper failed, letting the phone come out and skip down the road at 70+mph. Luckily, my parents were following me on four wheels and noticed. By the time they got my attention and we made it back, we couldn't find the phone at all. Using my Mom's phone I jumped on mylookout and made it scream. After finding it, the results literally almost made me cry.
After only two weeks of owning the most perfect fitting phone I've ever had, I now have this:
(56k/mobile warning)
https:// dl. dropbox .com/u/6609249/DSC_0869.jpg
Any one have any ideas as to where I can get it repaired? I obviously get calling HTC but I wanted to see if there were any other recommended options available.
I don't want to be pessimistic but I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of a new screen+chassis+labor is more than the cost of a replacement.
I had a very similar problem with my Legend. HTC will repair it for 270 euros..

As of today, that'd be 341.22 USD. Purchase price was more around 500 through myworldphone so l have some figuring out to do. Guess it's time to start posting some stuff up on craigslist.. I *MUST* have this phone back, new or repaired.
I will say about the quality of the phone that it still operates just fine as the music unpaused when I hit the optical and I've been hearing notification/alarm sounds, if I could only find a way to control it through PC. I've tried screencast but can't get the phone to be recognized through USB (I'm assuming doubletwist is autoenabling the USB drive mode, not allowing the phone to switch to "sync" and I sure as hell can't do it)
Any ideas there?
I find it quite amusing that the phone is still in one piece. It is truly a sturdy build, 99% of all phones on the market would probably be separated into a zillion small, small pieces after taking that kind of hit.
Still i shame though. The picture made me shiver at first glance.
OMG...i feel freakin sorry for you dude will try and help you...google...here i go!

I feel sorry too man, I love the phone because its one of the best build phones I cant get a scratch on the screen!

I ended up ordering another off of Amazon after taking mine apart to analyze the damage. Previous posters were correct, it would cost just as must to order a new so friend took care of me and got me another.
Interesting part is that (I'm assuming this) the first phone (also from Amazon) seemed to be from Europe, as the default language was UK English or whatever. It also came with a black A/C adapter plug.
The second phone came in with "CN Thai" as the default language, ultimately causing me to just give up changing it and root the phone. Anyway, that phone came with a *white* A/C adapter, no english defaults, Java and one other app starting with a P that was *not* on the first phone.
I wonder just how many out-of-the-box ROMs there are for "unbranded" phones...
Check your ROM version,and post it here.that is an asian version for sure...
Just root your phone and flash the wwe rooted rom.

well i was in a law suite with HTC for the issues i was having with my HTC Desire issues so i received a new desire hd for all the issues i went through even though HTC took a year to settle lol
so do you guys like your Desire HD
Congrats on getting the HD. Your going to love it. Im delighted with my one.
I got mine on 2 days back. I am loving it with Gingerbread sense.
Sent from my Desire HD
congratz.. now go to DHD dev and flash the gingerbread rom on it..
+1, then you never look back on your desire anymore
lol that statement is so true i cant put this phone down, lol as well i have not touched my iphone in days my buddy has a iphone 4 as well and he was blown away by the htc Desire HD i know the GPU is not all that but what i use it for it is amazing he just fell in love now he wants one
I must be the only person who doesn't love this phone, its not that I dont like it, its just that there seems to be a lot of issues.
I got mine on Saturday, it was a Vodafone UK upgrade, and coming to this from the orginal Desire has been a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
The one thing I noticed as soonas I took it out of the box was the seemingly sharp edges around the screen area, the phone itself is sluggish and the screen can be very non-responsive, I cant for the love of all thats almighty get the HTCSense to work - in fact cant even create an account, cant download Locations, the GPS wont work because it says it cant find the satellites even when I'm outside, and the list just goes on.
I loved my original Desire and chose it over the iPhone 4 and thought this would be the next step up buy boy was I wrong. Chances are Ive just got a bad one, but its hasnt half dented my confidence in what I originally thought was a great brand.
As I said, I had the phone as an Vodafone upgrade through Phones4U in the UK. Are they likely to give me a new phone or will they make me have this one repaired? To be honest, I dont want it repaired I just want a new one.
Suggestions please
It sounds like you got a bad one. You could try a factory reset and see if that speeds it back up to normal. If not I would suggest they change it for you. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing the normal (non-sluggish) speed. If your one doesn't match - ask them why it is so slow.
My 2 cents.
I would suggest the same as Grant Barker, sounds like you've got some kind of issuse!
Factory reset is always an good idea! ;-)

IANAL but distance selling reg's should cover this, you are entitled to reject the phone within seven days, personally I would speak with Phones4U as i have found them very helpfull in the past if no joy there try speaking to vodafone aswell.
But it does sound like you've recieved a lemon, even if I did find SENSE slowed the phone down over vanilla android.
1st thing I tried was a factory reset and to be honest, I think its made a blind bit of difference.
Thanks for the heads up people, I'll let you know how this progresses.
you will have to contact the company and explain to them u have a DOA

I must be the only person who doesn't love this phone, its not that I dont like it, its just that there seems to be a lot of issues.
I got mine on Saturday, it was a Vodafone UK upgrade, and coming to this from the orginal Desire has been a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
The one thing I noticed as soonas I took it out of the box was the seemingly sharp edges around the screen area, the phone itself is sluggish and the screen can be very non-responsive, I cant for the love of all thats almighty get the HTCSense to work - in fact cant even create an account, cant download Locations, the GPS wont work because it says it cant find the satellites even when I'm outside, and the list just goes on.
I loved my original Desire and chose it over the iPhone 4 and thought this would be the next step up buy boy was I wrong. Chances are Ive just got a bad one, but its hasnt half dented my confidence in what I originally thought was a great brand.
As I said, I had the phone as an Vodafone upgrade through Phones4U in the UK. Are they likely to give me a new phone or will they make me have this one repaired? To be honest, I dont want it repaired I just want a new one.
Suggestions please

HI hi hi
I'm just on to leav HTC at all.
I've order DHD from ....dialaphone.com(phone4u)
Second day I just ask to cancel my order for poor quality of finish AL-housing and plastic sim cover was just realy beadly made!!!
After canceling it I've order HD7 from dialaphone.com(phone4u)
Same sh.t realy same sh.t.
Baterry cover, plastic frame with scratches and in the middle of screen big looks like somone try to pull it off.You can see parts inside!!!
Was canceled !!!
No HTC in near future! Nono!
Is this fault of HTC TW? or Phone4u UK is selling some sort of 2nd quality ****?
Welcome from the owners of SHD.
Sense is really nice, I think.
With other Nosense Rom's i took less pleasure to use my phone.
In addition, drivers included in HTC sense, allow the phone to be much less energy.
Otherwise, you must hack the kernel.
