Guys let's give ourselves a break! Everyday we try to make our phones work better and faster. Searching for ROMS, RADIOs, Themes, ICONs, APPs and everything that is available out there and trying them out one by one. "Even soldiers at war know when to sleep.." This time let's share some interesting, funny, scary or any story that you can share. Let's talk about our stories with our HTC HD2s!
Let's try to have some fun while reading different stories between you and your beloved HTC HD2. Let's share not only good things that happened but also the bad stuffs, and maybe someone out there can learn something from your story.
So what are you waiting for? Start sharing your stories here!
I'm currently staying here in Riyadh because of work. Every once in awhile, me and my friends went out. We went to Khobar that day, it was weekend here so we have no work. About 4-5 hours travel by car just to get there, so we have a few stop overs just to go to the cr, buy some drinks and get some gas. On the mid-way of you trip, we have this stop over on a gasoline station, i went to the other car to check for our other friends there. Then we continued our trip. After more or less 20 mins, i started to noticed that i can't find my phone anywhere. I didn't let my friends know it at first because i thought i just put somewhere in my bag. But after 10 mins of looking, my heart starts to beat fast. At that time i only have my phone for 2 months i think, so i was so nervous but i didn't let my friends see it through me. Then i asked one of them to please call my number so that we would know if the phone was on the car or not. Then he said that it was ringing but we are not hearing anything inside the car. Then he said that a saudi guy answered the phone, at this point i don't know what to do and i was so scared. Then i told him that if he's just only joking it was not funny. Then he handed over to me his phone and when i said "hello.." someone replied from the other side. I was so scared that the guy who found my phone will not return it to me anymore. Then he told us that he found my phone on a gasoline station. Then he said that we will meet on the next bridge. After reaching the next bridge at a speed of 180km/hr, we called the guy again. He said that he was waiting there for 10 mins and he left already. He said that we will meet on the next bridge again. At this point im completely losing hope of seeing my phone again.
When we reached the said bridge, we called the my phone again and the guy said that he was waiting there for quite sometime and that he was on his way to Dammam. We told him to wait for us at the road going to Dammam, then he told us that he was going to a wedding and he was on a hurry. Then he said that in the evening that day he will be in Khobar for the wedding and he will return my phone there.
I didnt enjoy the rest of our trip because im still worried about my phone. Then as soon as it get's dark, we called the guy again. And he said that he was in Khobar that time and we will meet. I'm still nervous at that point, but my friends told me that the guy will return my phone.. blah blah blah.. Then the guy told us to hurry up because he will be leaving soon. So we asked him to give us 3 more mins and we will be there.
Then when we arrived at the said place, we saw the guy on a Lexus Black 2008 edition i think. The guy handed the phone to us with out any questions.
I was so thankful that my phone was returned. And imagine, i dropped the phone in a gasoline station but then when it was returned to me there are no scratches or anything, thanks to my Piel Frama leather case!
Since that day, i never let even a split second that i can't see my phone. I promised myself to take care of it very well. I treated my phone as if i was taking care of a cute puppy.
As of today im still waiting for my Otterbox Defender Case to be shipped. And im willing to give my very best for my phone!
That's all...
Thanks,
Pongskie
Great story, glad to hear you got it back. I'd be panicking loads if I thought I'd lost my hd2 and someone had taken it.
I was annoyed when someone stole my Sony Ericsson P800 back in the day.

Yeah! I think my chest was going to burst that time. That's why i'm so thankful to have it back again! Thanks for reading my story! And sorry for you Sony Ericsson P800. Hope you can post any unforgettable story about you HD2!
Mine is a bit lame, but over the past 2 weeks myself and my wife have been in hospital with our 3 week premature little girl in nursery care, during that time the HD2 was my saving grace, being able to stay on keep in touch with friends on facebook and general web browsing, take regular photos of our girl to update my wife while she was recovering from the surgery (c-section) and bub was in nursery, post online and send to family, uploading video to youtube etc. Everything is in this phone, there is not one limitation and thats what I love about it.

Since I got my HD2, my wife was on me about getting new phone and cost. all the way up until we were out and about and needed directions and needed to look up the store we were looking for. My HD2 came in like a champ. Yeah, I know I could have edone this with most phones, but for me, I like the flexability of this phone. and the size!!! I'm 6' 8'' and this phone fits me. Finally a phone that does not fill like I'm the giant in the room. BTW, I'm the normal one!!! the rest of you are muchkins!

No understanding.
When I put the kids to bed obviously I have my HD2 just in case I need to check something.... My eldest daughter has now put a sign up outside her room "no telefon" she's only 6 still learning to spell.
Obviously my wife loved that and was thinking of getting one for the bedroom.
On a sad note my HD2 has been away getting fixed for 3 weeks (been using the old touch diamond which is still good) how they all laughed when I told them it had broke. Getting it back tomorrow hopefully.
p.s.
That's not my real name, if anybody saw this thread apart from HD2 owners we're F****ed. They wouldn't understand.
On a recent camping trip to the English Lake district,the torch came in really useful
for picking my way through the guy lines to find the toilet late at night.
Also was able to take photos and upload them straight to Facebook
so family could be kept up to date,was good to be able to use the router function
as well to run my laptop from a field awesome....

Excuse my typing below but its 4:15AM...I've been drinking..
So I went out with a few "car forum" buddies out today. We decided to head to local bowling alley which honestly ****ing hate. So we're playing there and I decide to leave my phone at a chair in the area we're in. So I see an old ex co-worker, he's 2 buddies and some girl. I say what's up, etc. After they dip...within a minute I'm looking for my phone and I'm like ****...looking everywhere..nothing. I don't forget my phone ever so I know I left it on the chair next to my friend's keys, etc. So I tell my buddy to go outside with me cause I just had a feeling that one of these guys might've taken them.... So as I'm walking outside they look over and I call my ex co-worker over to ask him if he's seen my phone which looks like an iPhone (Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S..lol). And he's like nah man sorry. At the same time I notice one of his friends step over a few feet and get next to some beige looking Crown Vic and acts like he's looking at the tire...I paid no attention to that. And I'm thinking to myself..damn I left the phone on vibrate. But then I remembered I purchased an app called "Where's my droid" and set special "words" that if I text it it can switch off vibrate and turn the ringer to the highest volume and even turn on the GPS so I can track it. So I text it with my friend's phone. Within 30 seconds I hear the phone ringing....I'm looking and looking...and I see it at the Crown Vics rear passenger tire. Then one of them which wasn't the one starts to get all defensive...."That isn't my car"...."I drive that car there"....and at the same time Im telling him that I don't think the Vibrant grew legs and walked over by this tire. He's buddy was the one who stole it. My ex coworker and his girl were in shock that their 2 friends just did that ****. Before even a fight could break out in the parking lot my buddy calm me down.
In this stories current state...its pretty much the worst.story.evar.

I've never tried Where's My Droid..I have Lookout but I also have another app called SMS Commander that does the same thing and a lot more. You can silence it, set it to loud or vibrate too. You can send it a command to forward all the texts going to it to another phone. You can get the location of your phone. You can set it on Spy Mode and it will fwd SMS messages to whatever number you want, tell you phone #'s that call your phone and even send you GPS location of your phone when the call was answered or placed. You can even send it a command to send someone a text message and it will look like it came from your phone. This app works great. I've had it since my G1 days..I installed it on my Nexus, my MyTouch Slide and my Vibrant.

Didn't really mean kill, but I would have totally cleaned his clock... I can't believe people wouldn't do that out of natural reaction. Dude jacked him and he just took phone back..... wow. No wonder people do **** like that..
Good think he didn't need his GPS to find it, it would have sent him to another city with the system wonderful GPS.lol
and what would happen if one just did a hard reset on the phone? or switched it off? lol
...because everybody knows violence solves any problem.
Is this forum full of cavemen or what (no offense Geico dude)? Maybe the real learning moment here is to not set down a $500 phone and walk away. Definitely a good read, and I think you've convinced me to install one of these apps, because you never know.
And to the Neanderthals with all the great advice above, for the love of humanity, please don't procreate.

Don't you hate when you are having a great convo with someone, missed a great party, or showed up to work late cause of a delayed or getting no text at all. Arrrg I hate delayed texts. Freaking shocks me when I get a call and then all of sudden 20 texts come in all at once. Wish there was fix. Latest guys.

I've been having this issue too. Is it a problem on spirnt's end or a manufacturer hardware/software issue?
Best is when texts arrive out of sequence and delayed.
I hope most people realize texts are not as reliable as email, especially when sent between different providers.
No problems here but I did have this issue all the time with Alltell before AT&T bought em
Yeah, I get this problem quite often between my wife and me. It seems to be random when it happens. I'm thinking it's a Sprint issue, not hardware or software.
just stopped in to flame for your use of "convo" lol. I personally hate having a text conversation, that's why I have a phone. I try to keep texts short and sweet.

Happening to me as well. Texted my wife "Stopping for dinner - do you want anything?". Got her reply after I walked in the door - with food only for me!

ahaha that must have went well...
A phone call will "normally" fix it. Sometimes it wont even make a call while this is happening.
Instant messaging seems to be the only way, other than a phone call, to ensure messages get through. And avoid pissed off wives/girlfriends.
I know, I am starting to rely on using google chat/trillian to get my message thru to the wife friends and all. I like the one about getting food for himself, that happened to me the other day and I was a unhappy camper sharing with the wife. But the thing is phone conversations i hate cause of akward silence. Texts is just straight to the point and easy to hide. hahaha
Look on the bright side.. You get free mobile-mobile. It takes 20 seconds to ask the question and receive an answer vs sending a text, waiting for it to be received and acknowledged.
This has to be one of those generation gap things. For years I hated texts and texting, still do. However it is beneficial to non time critical events.

I don't know if im clients or google voice would eat up more battery. I used to go the gv route since that goes through the internet and not sms with the carrier. Of course it helps if the other side had gv too.

The Atrix is a great device. People need to stop crying about it. No one wants to waste time reading complaints.
If I could marry my Atrix I would! She already accepted my proposal via SMS, but unfortunately, although I am forward thinking, the State of Massachusetts is not, so we cannot wed!
doing the opposite of that is also annoying imho.. (will become so if not yet)
just stop feeding the trolls and they will move elsewhere
I love my phone -- just one complaint really.... as an actual PHONE -- it's a little tough for people to understand me on the other end. I know there are a TON of factors that go into this.. but... still... I find myself just putting a phone call on speaker and talking on it that way. Sounds better and I can have better conversations as opposed to people on the other end going "What?"

Seriously. The phone is great and there are too many vocal winers on this forum for it's own good. That's it. Once we get a few custom kernels unlocking the phone's true potential (+3 multitouch) it will be even better.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Just a lot of haters on it and Motorola on the internet for obvious reasons.
Plus At&t has a lot to do with it and since most people have their old tech still they want to believe that dual core is pointless and lags with motoblur and blah blah.
Just keep rehashing the same thing over and over again.
Watch if the bionic ever comes to verizon, it will be getting a lot more praise, even though it will be the same phone.
I get no lag on mine, it seems to be getting faster and faster the more crap I install on it. There were obviously some buggy models but if you get a good one, there's not too much to complain about it.
The browser is probably one of the best and that's what most people use their smartphones for.

You'r gonna be waiting a long time before moto unlocks this phone if they ever do which I doubt. Lts see how much you love this phone in six months when nothing has changed and much better phones are available.

yeah, too many whiners on this forum.
i have been a power user of phones since my blue angel sx66 back in the day. i was a primarily winmo user (sometimes palm and bb for work) until recently when i tried wp7 and have now moved on to this atrix.
i really don't have any features that i am missing except remote desktop.
i like my atrix and still have my surround and tilt 2. but i still keep using my atrix. there are far too many clowns in here talking about dumb stuff and half of them don't even own an atrix.
and so what if something better comes out in six months. guess what??? there will always be something better coming out in six months. get in where you fit in.
My Atrix rocks. It's really snappy, it never lags and battery life is insane. When I had my Milestone, I could only squeeze 12 to 15 hrs from it with moderate use. My Atrix can hold a charge for 20+ hours with heavy use, even more if I use the Lapdock since it charges the phone.
Very happy with this device!
I agree with the vocal minority theory. Many of these people look at the locked bootloader and try to convince themselves it somehow makes the phone subpar, or they listen to the vocal minority group that says AT&T sucks and translate that to their phone.
I haven't owned any android phones in the past because I've heard from others that they're slow and laggy. However, I bought the Atrix because seeing one in person, it was exactly the opposite. Having owned mine for a month now (as of today, in fact), its still just as zippy (if not more zippy) than the day I bought it.

I believe he's referring to the kexec bypass by Kholk, not an official Motorola unlock. Once that is available and we have custom kernels, I'd be surprised if there isn't a reversal in attitude among these people.

i like my atrix and still have my surround and tilt 2. but i still keep using my atrix. there are far too many clowns in here talking about dumb stuff and half of them don't even own an atrix.
and so what if something better comes out in six months. guess what??? there will always be something better coming out in six months. get in where you fit in.

Hey -- check out Teamviewer on the market --- all you need to do is install the server on your PC, and the app on your phone, and voila --- Remote Desktop.
the best part? .... its FREE for home users.
This phone is pretty cool. ONLY after it is rooted. I almost sold this phone until I rooted and put gibgerblur on it. I customized it to my liking and now I love it.

i have played with it. i dunno if i trust it. i can't see why they let it be used for no charge.
I was out on a bike ride and was just riding along and wham I got rear ended by a pickup truck going 30-40 mph. I never saw it coming. I had my Hero in my left rear pocket which should have been the initial impact point of the vehicle.
I lay on the road trying to breathe without pain and the first person on the scene was an off-duty fire battalion chief and he took care of me and called 911.
I was taken to the local trauma hospital where eventually my Hero was returned to me totally unscathed with MyTracks still running.
Inches from where the Hero was in my pocket I have a large hematoma and a fractured vertebrae (T10) and a ton of gross bruising. Everything else in my pockets was gone, every piece of clothing I had on was either ruined in the crash or cut off but my old old Hero lives on.
I'm proud of the thing, but I've sure been wanting a new phone and it seems I can't get rid of this thing even thorough extreme methods.
I've got 2 fractured vertebrae and a bunch of road rash, but no spinal nerve damage or anything else permanent (that we've discovered yet). I consider myself very lucky to be able to walk away from it.
Id say your Blessed. Glad your ok man.

Sheesh, the things people will do to get out of the contract so they can upgrade. Just kidding. Glad you made it safely.

Hero FTW. Holy crap that sucks. I went through an almost IDENTICAL event years ago. 2 surgeries later and I'm right as rain. I would suggest not biking for a while, the flashbacks can be crippling. Glad to hear your ok. Wow.
and thats why they call it a hero pun intended lol.
seriously though get well soon man im glad your okay sort off.. lol
Hope you have a quick recovery
What rom are you running? My phone would've restarted from having MyTracks + GPS open that long
Glad you're a tough sob, hope you recover quickly

CM7 nightly and I didn't get to flash a nightly for over a week.
MyTracks was running for 3:34:15 and split the track into 9 segments due to poor coverage in areas. I have it set to never split or never resume so it didn't reboot.
Damn glad you're alive!!!
Thanks everyone, I'm glad I'm alive too, but I probably wouldn't be very upset if I were dead.
I wish I had a new phone coming to me though.
