HTC HD2

For what its worth I have an HD2 and Waze seems to work well on it. Very finger friendly, but make sure you download the WVGA version. The standard WM6 cab works full screen but the icons look pixelated.

I look forward to further developments, and more users.

I too am seeing issues with GPS on my HD2 (standard rom), running 1.8.0 of waze.

If I choose detect GPS, it scans through comms ports 1,2,4 and 9 before giving up and saying cannot find GPS. Howerer! if I first start an app like google maps which uses the GPS, and then fire up Waze, the GPS detection suddently works. It detects on Com4, speed 4800.

Until auto detection works properly, it would be nice if we could manually set these.

It's weird. I'm using an HD2 based ROM on my Diamond2 and 1.8.0 works perfectly, except for the freezing issue after 20 mins.

Looking forward to that, TMO US should have them out by mid month. I will have one then.

I feel your pain, if ya like pm me your email and I will email you the last stable beta 1.3.9.0
It would be nice if we had access to the "all" of the builds, as we might find one that works for those of us with the freezing issue.

Ok, I just tried 1.8.0 again... This time I tried the following:
Stock Rom
KeepAwake
Stock Radio 2.08

Result froze after 14-15 mins had to pull back cover, phone completely unresponsive.

Tried again after HSPL,(Hard SPL so I can try custom roms)
Updated radio to 2.09.59.29_2
With and without KeepAwake

Result froze after 18 mins, pull back cover...etc etc.

Will update post after flashing new build,(currently running WinMo 6.5).

For the record, 1.3.9.0 does NOT show "Berries" on the map on my stock HD2. I can see them fine with 1.8.0 with the time limit of 15mins or so before freezing. :-(

Mine was mounted on my air vent, even with a/c running the newer clients froze from 1.4.2.3 on. No longer mounted on vent, but since I am running 1.3.9.0 I have not had a freeze.

I have this same freezing problem. very annoying. I play a lot of games on my HD2 with FPSECE. The phone gets warmer then when I am using Wave. No I wouldn't say that is the problem, if it was I would have the same problem while playing.

I wasn't restarting very often my phone before, now that I use waze 2 times a day, going to work and coming back from work I need to stop.

What I tried also was restarting waze every 10 minute, before it has time to crash. it does seem to solve the problem.
Tried that too, and it gets old fast...lol does work if you remember.

Landscape,

Hi, I just started using waze (today), I've downloaded the WVGA version. I've 2 questions:
* when I use my hd2 horizontally, the application is not in landscape. Is this possible?
* the text of the buttons at the bottom of the screen flow in eachother (size too large)? Do you recognize this? Is this changeable?

Regards, GSP-NL (HTC HD2 NL)
