Microsft Myphone Sync

Hi All,
I am going to be getting my new HD2 tomorrow (CANT WAIT) at the moment I have a TP2 and need something faster thing drives me mad sometimes.. Anyway back to the point I am going to be using Microsoft Myphone to sync everything up and then back down to my HD2 and basically wanted to know if this will work well, any problems experienced from other users etc.
Thanks in advance,
Charles Hurst.

I moved from a diamond to an hd2. the process was slow because I moved all my photos that way - but all my contacts, messages etc got moved. Apps and settings won't go though.

Yes mate - I literally could not recommend it more!
I went from a Touch HD to the HD2 and I'd already been using MyPhone as an automated backup service for a couple of months, so I was confident it would work.
It's also handy for when I flash new ROMs onto the phone. I have it backup everything except the storage card, and it works a treat.
I assume you'll still have the TP2 in case you do anything wrong, so you won't actually lose anything. It's real easy anyway, so I doubt that.
As mentioned above though, it obviously doesn't do apps. Also, if you can, connect to Wifi before doing it, as it can take a while 1st time.
Other than that, welcome to the fun that is HD2

Yes, I second the "use wifi". You may also find it time out now and again, I did. But it picks up where it left off.
If you're near a PC though I recommend that for pictures and such like, and using MyPhone for contacts, messages, notes blah de blah

Great
Great many thanks guys, only worry I have is that it does not put my text back correctly with each contact as I had this before with SBS backup (I think its called) all the text were just everywhere. Guess I will wait and see, cant wait to show off my HD2 to mates who have Iphones LOL
Thanks again,
Charles Hurst.

I showed my HD2 to a mate who has an iPhone, and his exact words were:
"Jesus, I thought MY phone was big!"
It's a lovely weighty size
Anyway, MyPhone shouldn't garble your contacts at all - same format in both phones!

Just syncing as we speak *fingers crossed* looks good so far though, the phone seems amazing and so fast its f**king incredible compared to using the TP2...
One thing thats odd it never come with facebook app on Vodafone but cant be hard to find.
Thanks again for your help.

Depending on what you want to do with facebook, you may not need it. Using the default integration with Sense, you can link your contacts to facebook so you can see their status updates (you have to actually go to the page where these are shown though - there's no notifications), set your own status, upload photos, browse friends' albums.
If you want more, there's always the facebook app, and http://m.facebook.com which is a nice lite version of the site.

Need help !!!! HD2 changed wmm password?

Need help !!!! HD2 changed wmm password?
I have microsoft my phone enabled and everything, but.... as it is my wi-fi and cell radios are disabled....
Before i went to take a shower, i soft resetted my phone using BsB Tweaks, and when i got back from the shower i tried typing in my password... said it was incorrect, and i flipped. but before that i let someone use my phone for like couple seconds, told him my password to the wmm screen, nothing more.. It was working fine with my old password for about the rest of the day.. after letting my friend use it
And now it just seems like it changed the pass itsself, I know how absurd this may sound, but I'm speaking the truth. I just have customized the phone soo far, that i Really do not want to hard reset.
Can the t-mobile employees help reset the password? or Am i just left with that choice.
EDIT: I think i might just go to the t-mobile store and exchange my phone.. 3G was slow anyways, the speaker sounded broken, and the hardware keys are very loose.
EDIT: I can't even type in my password anymore, when i type in the pass, and click unlock nothing happens/

me too
I happened to me too, i did a hard reset. the last thing I remember is to install a cab for sms without manilla. i rebooted and i was able to enter my pass but the ui was the normal windows ui to enter the password, the i reseted the phone again and the normal manila password came but i couldn't enter the password, after several times entering the unlock button didnt even do anything.
Now if i install something big in the phone.. i disable the password , reboot then enable the password.
T-Mobile HD2

This seems to be a bug in the tmobile stock rom, maybe others? It's happened to me before too using the stock tmobile rom. Theres a thread about this over on forums.t-mobile.com as well
The last thing I installed before it happened to me was the flash fix installer to enable flash in Opera.

Anyone have a FIX for this?
I just got two new texts, and well I CANT READ IT? and it seems like my radio is active now... hmm?

Do any of the experts know what is wrong with HD2 winmo password.
i have the stock ROM that comes with HD2 tmobile USA and i hadnt even installed anything.
I was just checking a few tele no. on the phone and left is went into standby and when i opened it, its stuck on enter password and the pass i set just aint working??
i am screwed, had over 30 small softwares which took me quiet sometime putting in.
CAN I GET MY HD2 TO WORK SOMEHOW, is there a fix???
please help me out, i seriously do not want to do a hard reset.
thank you.

Use a hard reset. Hold you volumn buttom up and down together then press power buttom the same time. It will reset to the original manufacture.

This really sucks, isnt there any way around it, i mean is HTC screwing with us or what??

Its a pretty common bug. No fix, just dont use a password. You can download apps from the Market for protecting your phone with a password. I guess it has something to do with the Microsoft registry, last I read anyway.
If you backed up your phone on your PC then its no biggie. Hard reset, re synce your phone. If you didnt, well... let this be a lesson. I learned the hard way. Always backup your phone.

I already had my contacts backed up, but had over 50 programs installed, and it will be a big pain installing all of them all over again.

As an owner of 20 HD2's (corp. account), I can tell you this has happened to 4 of our phones. It was almost a deal breaker. I can also tell you that TMO/HTC have aknowleged the issue and are working on a fix for it. (This comes from upper ups at TMO)
We HAVE to have Lock PIN's enabled, as we are a law firm and such.
For the record, it has nothing to do with anything you've installed, BsB or otherwise. All of our phones, except mine, are running stock ROMs (2.13) and Radio. No one here has the want or desire for 'frilly' things like CHT or BsB. The 4 phones that have "lost" or "forgotten" the PIN code were all stock.
Our interim solution, is to have everyone use MS MyPhone for backup purposes. Note that this does NOT back up anything on your SD card. Pull the SD card out before you wipe it, and you will not lose anything there. Can't speak for apps installed there, as I'm sure there are needed reg entries on the phone that will need to be recreated. That's a guess tho.
Short answer, if it's forgotten your PIN, you're screwed as far as avoiding a wipe.

yup you are right it has nothing to do with bsb or CHT and YES i am screwed.
I will definitly installing some backup software that can also backup my programs.
I already had my contacts backed up in outlook.
I called HTC and the guys said they know its an issue that some ppl. have and its almost a deal breaker for me coz security code is suppose to help us not f*** us up like that.
Now i am looking for a backup program that can backup all programs aswell apart from my contacts and calander on the phone.
The HTC tech. guy said SPRITE is a good backup solution, i also know of SPB backup, so do you guys have any idea which one is better??
thanks alot

HTC HD2 running very slow...

Hey all,
Have noticed that my device has been running ever so slow past few weeks. Nothing is running in task manager and am finding myself resetting my device many times per day.
Any others having or had the same problem?
Advice or tips would be great...

have you installed any cabs recently? try downloading clearRAM but you shuoldnt really be needing to reboot it several times a day.
Have you flashed a custom rom? or using stock?

Havent installed any cab's recently. But noticed it has been slowing down since installing cookies tab. Plus its running on vodafone rom. Already have clearRam installed, that doesnt really help.
The device slows right down, even the animated is rubbish. Instead of it being smooth.. it kinda judders

If i were you i would install a custom ROM - go for it dude!

Remember to back up your data first, been reading that the home tab doesnt uninstall very well.
It may force you to do a hard reset like me

Make sure you have the chainfire drivers installed and used a rom based on the 2.13 base. Nothing but speed here

Thanks, downloaded that CAB and see how I get on with the HTC today, and will post back. Fingers crossed the device will stop slowing down. It's beginning to really drive me mad, or get on my nerves!

as mentioned allready i'd go for a custom rom

So many to choose from...

The best thing you can do is take a popular rom like dutty, energy,artemis, clean ex.

Well, the 1st thing I've always do when come to a new forum is click the Views function for descending, to see which is most popular 1st, then start from there

well i cant say which is the best as i havent tried many, but im running the energy, and its amazing.

I can confirm the problem was down to cookies home tab. I uninstalled it earlier, and the device has been running great ever since. So am gutted as I really enjoyed using cookies home tab, but it just kept slowing my device down after a few hours of use

My phone is slow as crap as well. After reading the posts I am going to try a new rom.

Really strange that lots of people are currently complaining about a slow device, mine has also become suddenly very laggy. I have the Elagancia ROM which has C00kies home tab built in - maybe it is this program that is the brunt of the trouble?

chainfire is not speeding up the phone at all. maybe 1 or 2 programs that most dont use, thats it. no use installing.
Cookies def slows down the phone. Especially if you have the weather animation on. If you got 3 full pages of shortcuts its slow. Recommend using 1 page.

I ain't trying a new ROm as I am not having problems with the VF ROM currently installed.
But I had to hard reset my device after uninstalling Cookie's tab, because it messed a few things up. Thank god I got SPB backup on this device.
Won't be going back to Cookies home tab tho... great tweak for the device, but with having the reset the device upto 5 times (or more) as day is a bit frustrating for me.

Didnt even think about reducing the number of pages, I changed it from 3 to 1 and not its so much faster.

I have been having the same issue on my phone and after deleting all of my text messages (you have to delete them, then go to deleted items and clear them) my phone is running much faster.

Txt conversations not showing after update?

Hi all,
Updated to Stock ROM 3.14 and now my txt message converstions don't show in either converstation mode or traditional i.e when i tap 'reply' the previous messages are not showing.
Thiis was always sporadic in 1.66 (sometimes they show sometimes they don't, seemed to depend how you entered into the message client)
Any ideas?

I suggest you do a hard reset as with a official ROM or a custom ROM it is always good to do a hard reset after you flash just to be double sure e erything in the ROM was set correctly. Sometimes Win Mo needs a sweft kick in the a$$ lol.

To be honest I really don't know if SPB Backup will backup you rCookies Home Tab settings or not as I have nevery used SPB Backup. But it is worth a try but just incase take and make a hand writtin list of what you have on your Cookies Home Tab and what settings you are using for it so you can set it back up like you had it. I only use Microsoft My Phone as it backes up whent I really need backed up and I do the rest the old fahion way as it keeps me well aquanted with how to use my HD2.

Ah man, i hard reset and tested the messaging again and it works fine. But when i restore the problem returns so it backed up the original bug!
I'm gonna have to start over, 3 hours i spent today playing with settings and finding my away around the new cookie monster editor
I hope you are right in that i should of just hard reset after the rom upgrade. I spose now I'm gonna have to test the messaging is still working after i change every setting as i go... a wasted evening... spose i could do it when at work tomorrow heee heee!

I'd already done the hard reset but my spb backup saved cookie monster and everything else so all cool
problem is now, i have the sent message notification problem again! Don't spose you have a fix for that? The above thread is all i could find on it and the original fix wont work for me as the .exe is incompatible with newer versions.

Do you mean it is giving you a notification that it sent the text message everytime you send a message?.....
There is a check box in the settings to turn this off but for the life of me I can not find it right now, sorry man.

Yeah. The deal was irrefutable But I don't mind, my phone works well, I don't use s**tty apps.
Our buildnumber is:
ALE-21C432B183
I'll make a hard reset if it comes back. Her apps stored on the sd card, there is a lot of free space and only the most used apps are installed on her phone. So I've trusted in you guys to save it
