Hey, I was wondering if the i9000 will work with the 3g bands of t-mobile. And if not, will there be much of a difference when it comes to edge?
edge is so much slower than 3g is not even funny.
Why not just wait for it when it comes to T-Mobile at the end of June or beginning of July. It was already pretty much confirmed after some moron posted a video showing that it had all of the T-Mobile exclusive apps running on it.

Do you mean this review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w1Z9v-Wi38
If so, I think it was a pretty decent demo, and I think it may be a bit far to call him a moron. It seems stupid that t-mobile wouldn't want people to know that they will stock this phone, so how could this guy know that revealing the model number and t-mobile apps would be a problem?

Why did Verizon just fire the Gym employee who leaked the Shadow? Why did Apple press charges on the people involved with the iPhone leak? This guy should have known that wireless carriers don't like there devices being leaked from sources other than them. I am also surprised you wouldn't know that either.

He didn't exactly leak it though. He just reviewed an (announced and expected) device, and people pointed out that the model number was consistent for t-mobile phones. It's not like he even says "t-mobile" at any point, or emphasizes anything.
If anyone is moronic, it's the people who saw the logo for the text input app (write and go, i think its called), and assumed the big "T" indicated a t-mobile phone. See about 20seconds into this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq4yXIKirVo

I thought folks would find this interesting, to say the least.
There has been a lot of rumor and theorizing about the infamous "Yellow Reset Button" believed by some to signify a new run of phones, supposedly marking the phones as after the first 50k production units. This may be entirely true, partially true, or a complete fabrication, elevated to the status of urban legend, right up there with "It is illegal to kill a Praying Mantis, and you will get a $50 fine if you do, LOL! (You won't trust me on THAT at least.)
So it was with some excitement that I received a "Yellow Button Special" as my 4th warranty refurb. Let's just say that it did not quite life up to the hype, and was the absolute worst as far as lock ups, and I had 3 previous ones to compare it with. Part of the reason I put this in the Energy Forum was a Tweet that our esteemed chef put out about 5-6 weeks ago, saying that he had a yellow reset button model and was experiencing nolockups. That's quite a claim to make for ANY Windows Mobile handset, but I do not doubt his observation. I do believe it was probably early in the testing of said phone, and that he could not have kept such a sparkling record going indefinitely.
So, by way of a long story, I come to the blasted point, LOL! Anyone who haunts this forum knows my posts tend to be... let's say verbose! Nevertheless, attached are two pictures of the Part Number for two phones, both refurbs, and both from T-Mobile Warranty Support. Called and pleased my case, whereupon T-Mobile agreed to send me handset #5 - yep. This is my fifth T-Mobile HTC HD2 Phone.
And? Its GREAT! It works better than any other one I have had, in particular the Bluetooth A2DP works to my stereo headset without cutting out. I have had no lockups in over a full weeks use, with multiple ROMs flashed to it. Display is perfect, sensitive (I know thats driver, not hardware related, but just sayin. I have put it through a pretty vigorous set of daily use testing, and it has been beautiful.
Now for the clincher, and it's nothing to do with a "Yellow Reset Button". If you must know it DOES have a yellow button, BUT: It also has a different part number
Check the attached pics, which I covered my IMEI and my S/N (paranoia, no other reason, he he)
I have checked Serial/IMEI and Part Numbers on each refurb they sent, and all have had the exact same part number. Until now, that is:
The old one reads: xxxxx001-00 B
The new one reads:xxxxx001-01 XB
What does this mean? As an expert witness for the prosecution I will TELL YOU! The answer is: I haven't a clue what it means, or if it means ANYTHING. I do know that it is significant, and to me, a different Part Number means a revision. What revision, and even if its a GOOD revision remains open to speculation. I prefer to think I have "One of the new, GOOD ones", LOL. But seriously I don't know. It would be interesting if anyone cares to track these and see what we can learn, if if anyone on the forum actually KNOWS what the bumped up part # signifies. Anyone have any info?
For me, i think the rumour that they changed the button to yellow because america expects small red dots to be water indicators holds more of a ring of truth than a build version marker. I just think it coincided with a second surge in production.
hmm...interesting...are you referring only to TMOUS version or European one as well. My HD2 for instance is European and P/N reads 02-00 C
Since november Ive only ever had one entirely solid and dependable HD2, it has a p/n ending in 039-00.
im quite curious to see how these numbers reflect on the time/location of production....
What are folks doing to their HD2 to have multiple ones?
I have the TMO launch HD2 and its fine. I have updated the unit to the TMO US firmware and its fine. The only problem I had, which is annoying and I wish someone could help me fix this, is that with Facebook V1.2, it doesnt retain my credentials. regardless if I click save. I am investigating, but if someone knows how to fix this, please advise.
Otherwise, the unit is fine.

I'm planning on buying a used HD2 off craigslist and I do not expect it to come with any warranty. I read some threads about the HD2 overheating and the touchscreens dying. Is this still a big problem?
Is there a way I can tell if the phone is a newer revision with less problems?

Look at the reset button.
If it's red, you're in for some deep ****.
If it's yellow, all is clear
The ones with red reset buttons had some quality control issues.

I wouldn't say I'm offended, but I would say that the statement is shortsighted and uneducated.
I've had my HD2 since early November 2009, when they first came out, and I'm still using the same device with NO hardware problems.
Blanket statements like that should always be utterly ignored.
Unfortunately, no-one can tell you that your device will or will not have hardware issues. Some will and some won't is the only true statement that can be made.
I haven't seen a Hd2 without a red reset button. But I have tmo. Just look it over and make sure everything works and it hasn't been abused.

Well, you know what? Call it what you want. Be offended by it, call Tue response "shortsighted and uneducated". Whatever. I talk from experience. I had a red reset button HD2 and I had to return it not once, not twice, but FOUR TIMES. They ALL died in one way or another, be it the touchscreen, the thing not turning on, or it freezing to bloody death. The fifth time, I got a yellow reset button HD2 and I'm still using it to this day. No problems whatsoever that atlre hardware related.

sorry, for jacking your thread. but, should I be worried if the void stick that covered a screw has been torn. I got it off ebay. It's working 100%, so I'm guessing it was repaired or something.

That.
Like I said, I'm not offended by it.
You're wrong. You had hardware problems, and I feel for you, but to say that everyone with a red reset button will have problems IS "short-sighted and uneducated".
You're clearly basing your comment on your limited experiences, albeit bad (no-one is questioning that), and not the experiences of the hundreds of thousands of HD2 users.
Okay, the phrase "short-sighted and uneducated" will cause offense, but it was not intended to do so. It's just how your post comes across.
Nonetheless, my post still stands and I still think you're talking from a limited and biased point of view that will not get backed up by many other users.
Hmm strange as far I can have information from htc have only the htc HD2 T-Mous devices the yellow reset button and the regular HD2 a red button.
If I follow the logical here this would mean that 75% of the HD2 Devices ar bad? hmm not convinced.

There were different "series" of TMOUS HD2s. AFAIK the early ones had yellow buttons and later ones had red buttons - I could be wrong about that though.
Some information I gathered on the yellow/red button thing. So it isn't just me I see.
sirphunkee said:
Nope, those are the only two versions you'll find. The initial red-buttoned batch ran out very shortly after you bought yours, and the ones with the yellow have been around ever since. There's not any conclusive evidence, but it's generally accepted that the ones with the red button seem to have a higher occurence of mysterious misbehavior. The only suggestion I have is to make sure you're at least running the updated T-Mobile ROM...your brother might have gotten it on his phone from the factory, but yours wouldn't have it by default.

Ok so i got two htc hd2 phones. One is mines and another is my brother ! I bought mines back in around March of 2009 or some time like that. But a month later after i bought mines , my brother bought his . I look at the reset button on both of ours and i see that mines is red and his is yellow! I was wondering what exactly could that mean because my phone freezes way much more than his! And if anyone might have any information if there happens to be a different color reset button like green for example . Thanks for all the support by the way, very helpful .

Q1-I JUST GOT A NEW HD2, AND MY RESET BUTTON IS A DIFFERENT COLOR!!!
A-Yep, hopefully it's yellow. The reset button is widely believed to be a hardware revision giveaway, IE, depending on the color is what revision of the device you have. So far 2 different colors are in circulation that we know of, those being RED and YELLOW. The HD2's that have red reset buttons seem to be revision ones, or based off of the Euro hardware, and seem to be more flaky when it comes to touchscreen quality and overall stability. For whatever reason, HD2's with red buttons seem to have touchscreens, mainly the digitizers that are more prone to failure. The second revision HD2's seem to all have yellow reset buttons and as far as we know these are the only ones being produced as of late. Yellow button models seem to be more stable hardware wise, and use a completely different motherboard and touchscreen/digitizer assembly.

Arrgg my reset buton is red!
Anyway I'm not surprized I bought it end of 2009... so now I will have hardware issues...
I bough the HD when launched, the HD2 when launched... none has never have an issue. It's difficult to predict hardware failure.
It's always possible, it's just a question of luck. HD2 has been launched for a long time now. It's a good and reliable device. There's not a lot of complains, that's a good proof!
Anyway, as with everything you may have problems. That's why warranty was invented.

And all you have proven is nothing.
You have one quote saying the person bought a 'yellow' a month before a 'red' and another saying that the 'reds' were the 1st version and 'yellows' were 2nd editions. Technically the TMOUS phones are all at least 2nd gereation HD2, because the European HD2 (with the lower memory) was the 1st generation model.
A quote saying someone guessed that 'yellows' were better.
Just for a bit of research, I flipped a £1 coin ten times and it landed 8 times on tails and a £2 ten times at it landed only 3 times on tails. Therefore my advice to anyone flipping a coin: if the coin is a £1 then shout 'tails' and if the coin is a £2 then shout 'heads'. I am informed that the £1 coin was developed before the £2 coin.
This research has been funded by those good folk at Acme.

You are correct that you didn't say you were trying to prove anything. So you normally post a list of quotes for no apparent reason?
I didn't start the game with an unproven statement.
However it would be interesting to see if there was an actual hardware problem with the red button compared to the yellow button 1024LEO. Something along the lines of:
Do you have, or have you had, a HD2 (1024MB ROM) and has met one of the four conditions:
It has a Yellow reset button and has no hardware faults.
It has a Yellow reset button and has had hardware faults.
It ihas a Red reset button and has no hardware faults.
It ihas a Red reset button and has had hardware faults.
I recently bought an HTC HD2 from Craigslist.
It had an HTC Desire Z rom on it and I've been racking my brain trying to figure if this HD2 is the 1024 or the 512. I've tried checking the forums but only found this uninformative thread. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140711)
Is there a way I can check?
I'd imagine it would have something to do with the colorbar menu? (HSPL or something.) If that is the case, then it says:
"PB81100 SSB-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE"

Ah, good to know! Thank you for the help.
Although, one final question. Is it normal for the HD2 to constantly overheat? I've read the thread about trying to fix the overheating problems but is it specific to certain HD2 models or all of them? :S
Overheating is only some devices & linked to motherboard issues. This is due to bad design & probably QC issue on certain batches of motherboard.
HTC revised/new suppliers of motherboard & touch screen on some region models.
My HD2 has no overheating issue so far & has not gone over 39degC even when using as internet modem for 4 or 5 hours in hummid Asia ... Hope you have similar results
I know this post is a bit off topic but I felt the need to post it here to help everyone as I've always received help from this group.
I'm writing this post to bring your attention to the latest display problem on nothing phone 1 after the latest software update ( nothing os 1.1.3 ). Unlike earlier nothing phone 1 green tint display issue, now I'm facing nothing phone 1 backlight bleeding at low brightness when using dark mode.
Nothing phone 1 display test shows how the screen occasionally turn grey before becoming complete black ( see the video attached below ).
This nothing phone 1 problem was not present till the latest software update. The point to note is that the phone that I'm using does not have the nothing phone green tint problem so I'm pretty sure that the new problem on nothing phone that I'm facing is a software problem.
Please check your nothing phones for this grey screen problem and if you're yet to do the latest nothing phone 1 update, then wait for some time as I'm unsure on how nothing phone 1 after update would work out.
