hi all i have been using the xda2 mini s for the past 2 weeks as i got one on a contract 2 weeks ago from o2 . anyway took the phone home took the o2 active stuff out of it and filled the phone up with spread sheets and all my contacts and lots of other things . the phone was to slow to use for what i can see . maybe it was all the stuff i had in the phone i am not sure . also the keyboard was starting to get a bit loose after 2 week down the line . so i thought today i have had enough of this crap phone its going back . so of i went with the phone boxed and everything as new back to the o2 shop to state to them it was slow and i have hard reset the phone about 3 times and that it was just not up to cutting the cream if u asked me . so the guy said no bother at all i will just give u another phone . and i said no i dont want another mini i want the xda2i to replace it . so he did and now i have something i can use and depend on . i said to the guy that my old p900 was faster than the mini he laughed . i dont care what he thinks i no for sure that the p900 was faster than the mini . any way i am happy i have the xda2i instead of the little unusable mini
just my 0.02 pence worth
I know what you mean, I had a Motorola A1000 which has the same Symbian UIQ OS as the P900 and it was a nippy blighter although the built in GPS was shoddy.
But overall the hardware side of things the processing power isnt a scratch on the mini or the 2i.
Due to Symbians nature of running a very small kernal and also stored on a lot less space makes it seem so much better.
The only problem I found with Symbian OS's is they're not(or wern't) majorly supported like WM03/05.
If you could re-compile a Symbian UIQ OS for the 2i that would be a beast of a device.
u r right mate about the os would be good and stable . anyway thats about 3 hours i have been playing with the 2i and its fast real fast for what i can see . i hooked up to the net on it tonight and i could not find how to disconect from the net .... also whats the best place to get a card for it i was looking to get a 2 gig card what do u guys use in your xda2i
Disconnect from the net by holding down the red hard button on the bottom until it wines!
My old Xda IIi (i killed it a few days ago, cracked screen and completely dead when I woke up, don't know how it died overnight) never had a problem with memory cards... this one locks up sometimes if i have one in.
My advice is to either go for a number of SD cards (512Mb ish), the cheapest you can find, or go for a Kingstone 2Gb.
Hello :
I need emails from htc to complain and explain my point !
I had a s100 , s200 , 9100 . 9000 ,tytn , tytn 2.... and now i have a diamond.
As you can read there are several problems with , speed , battery ......
My bigest problem is a diamond with 2 weeks that looks like a old phone , the metal frame that says HTC INOVATION , is losing black ink. The screen and the back cover already have scratches.
I had a iphone too....and the materials are good.
I always used my phones in my pocket...and this one is getting very damaged !
THnks
Buy a case? only £9.99
OMG! tragedy! drama! panic! sue! beat! kiiiiillll!!!!
Ok so here's the story:
Got my HTC Diamond (unlocked version) back in June 2008 for about $700 USD.
Few months later the backlight stops working and it gives me the microp version mismatch error.
I send it in to HTC for repairs, a month later I get it back, working again.
Now I've had the phone back for about a month, and today I turn on the phone and guess what: NO BACKLIGHT! When it finally does boot up (without the backlight) it gives me the MicroP version mismatch error AGAIN.
What a piece of junk. In less than one year this phone has died twice on me. I still have old sony and nokia phones from 6 or 7 years ago that work 100%, yet my HTC Diamond has died twice in less than a year?
I'll never buy another HTC phone. </rant>
That sucks that you of all people ended up getting the 1/100000 lemons out of the factory. I've gone through a few HTC's and have NEVER had a problem with them, as I'm sure not many have.
I'd give it another chance if it was me, god knows I love WinMo.
yeah...well i just called HTC repairs again. they said they will pay to have it shipped back to them for repairs, again.
hopefully it doesn't take too long...
i still think it's funny that the crappy free phones i have from years ago still work great, but this $700 phone keeps breaking on me! grrrrrr
It's because those 'cheap crappy phones' have 1-10 components inside, whereas the Diamond has 10x that (g-sensor,gps,wifi,etc) so there's so much more possibility of something breaking.
I think you've just been very unlucky, I've owned tones of phones and not one of them has ever failed on me.
I would suggest that if your Diamond fails again (touch wood it doesn't ) demand a new one as replacement, as it's probably beyond repair.
Bad luck for you.
I ve had HTC devices for about 4 years and never ever had a problem. I even dropped my HTC Wizard twice and stepped on It. And it still works !!!!
So Go and buy a Iphone
sony and nokia phones ... how many? why changing to htc if your phoneS works 100%? work both phoneS together 100% (sony 30% and nokia 70%).
i was the master of making a phone unflashable and unusable.
1. prophet: soundproblem ... after looking inside and try to repair = death
2. artemis: during flashing pull usb-cable = never starts again
2.1 artemis: after more than 100 try-flashing for reanimation the resetbutton gone to god
3. eten x800: 2 days old in germany, no roms, try something like x500 udlr = unflashable since today but function o.k.
4. diamond: 1 day - 1 hour - first think was flashing. it flyes with me to Turkey, drinks water, fly to wall (2 times), flashing and cooking, i think i would marry it.
today its a htc what you never buy, tomorrow its a palm and the day after its an other phone. do what you want and have fun with your new never-want-buy-xyz-phone ....
my oppinion is: i cant understand why you posting here ... ?

I agree with this comment! After two attemps at resolving the same issue, any manufacturer should replace the handset completely.
Best of Luck
i must say
only had HTC phones since 2002
not once has one broke down on me....
i have dropped a few....but thats me....not the phone
HTC the only one !
I´m a big fan of HTC. Now i have a Diamond. Earlier: qtek, nokia, motorola, soyericson and more....

im interested in that too, my phone does the exact same, and a friends.
is there any "home solution"
My Diamond broke twice during the first 2 months (overheated and wi-fi became dysfunctional). A friend's Diamond overheated so much whilst navigating that it broke too.
I've had mine for almost a year now but my next one will definitely be an IPhone. My Diamond has been immature and unstable from the beginning, requiring third-party software and registry patches for basic functionality like setting touchscreen sensitivity and the integration of the address book into the phone user interface is just moronic. Scrolling is plain awkward in TF3D, nothing like the smooth control you have on the Iphone.
My first HTC was a Qtec S200 and it was better in every respect except that it lacked GPS. More robust, better battery life, better GSM sensitivity, better wifi range, better touchscreen sensitivity. Solid as a brick.
Hey Guys, is this device a good device ?? Should I Buy it or not ? I will buy a new HTC becouse my HTC Touch (Elf) is broken...
PS: Sorry for my bad english!
pretty good although there are better phones
Thanks for your reply can you send me a link of the other phones but they don't need to cost more than the touch diamond
Seriously.. Are you living in the past lol. Surre the diamond is aa good phone (great at its tiime) but it is old and has been suceeded by the diamind2 which is still old and on a dead os. It is a phone of 2008. it is now 2011 and the mobile world evolves very quick. I d say get a hd2 or a phone announced at mwc.
Okay Thanks, I've buyed a HTC Desire HD, this is a really good device!!
Hi guy and girls,
does any body know where can I find or buy a boar for a t9193 telstra HD2 ?
I'm pretty sure the board of my HD2 is damage, i did almost all I can think of to fix it but no lucky so far (taskt29 flash android , flash wph, flash wm 6.5, flash the original telstra rom, flash hspl 2.8.0000 I even disassembly to look for a loose cable o some thing but noting).
it keeps freezing or restarting (depending of the OS)
I know that this phone is in the market for more that 2 years and this is not a phone i'll buy again new... but is so much fun to change OS play with adroind wph etc, so i dont want this phone to die.
I originally bought this from ebay in Australia but I live in Colombia, and here we dont have any HTC suppont.
