[Desire HD General] dhdhk:
Anybody had a chance to compare the screen if incredible s vs the dhd? Incredible supposedly has a much better screen that is super lcd. I had a quick comparison in a shop and the difference doesn't seem huge. Maybe sharper because of higher pixel density, but colors, contrast etc were similar.

Otherwise incredible seems like a more balanced version of the dhd, more manageable size, better battery life, lower price.
[Desire HD General] ineser:
Incredible S seems shaper for me, thats it...

Not much difference except in size
[Desire HD General] downesey:
Since its a 4 inch screen compared to our 4.3 the screen wil look "sharper". Iv seen but i didnt have my dhd with me, but it looks nice and its definately bright, but no sharper than an x10 or galaxy s
[Desire HD General] borneanheadhunter:
I guess its a matter of preference. Individuals with big hands might prefer DHD over IS.
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
front facing video camera on the incredible s is a plus

the screen size is a bit smaller than the dhd.. but all the other features are the same , it is no where less in terms of quality or features.. the one major plus point the incredible s has is the front facing 1.3 mp camera..

the front facing camera 1.3 mega pixels for video calling is surely the deal maker
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I've read both reviews of the HTC Desire HD and Incredible S from engadget. They say the Desire HD's screen is nothing special, washed out, dull etc. And they say the Incredible S has an excellent screen, brilliant colours, vibrant, and the next best thing behind Retina display and Super Amoled.

So it's quite surprising too see some here say they are virtually identical apart from size.

That being said, if i had the opportunity to swap my phone for the Incredible S, i would because although i like the huge screen on the DHD, it is a little hard to operate with one hand (my hands aren't the biggest).

I also love the look of it.

I love the design of the back, and i love how there is a little bezel on top of the screen unlike the DHD. Makes it look more balanced. But that's just my opinion.
[Desire HD General] Try4Ce:
I tested the Incredible S at a shop recently and I have to admit, the screen looks a bit "sharper", but thats due to the smaller screen size @ the same resolution as the DHD. Colors arent better, in fact, they looked the same. I took out my DHD for a direct comparision and to be honest, besides the smaller screen, the image quality looked almost the same. I really love my Desire HD and wouldnt swap it for the Incredible S if I dont have to. Its a small difference IMO.

The looks are nice, true story. I like the look itself more than the DHD, but thats not a deal maker for me. Front camera is a nice addition, but I know how my friends look like, and if I wanna see them, I try to in person. I am not a fan of video calls, did it a couple of times and it wasnt really something special. And for that, I'd rather use my laptop with the integrated Webcam either way since I got alot more battery power there. So, for ME, the front camera isnt a deal maker as well.

The Incredible S is a great phone nonetheless, and has one or two more features than the Desire HD, but for me, its not worth a swap.

EDIT: One important thing - Isnt the Incredible S one of the new HTC phones that feature the infamous "lockdown" of the bootloader (and therefore custom ROM support) like the Motorola Milestone? If yes, that would be the TOTAL and ABSOLUTE dealbreaker for me. Android is meant to be customized, Android is meant to offer freedom over your pricey smartphone. Things like that destroy the many cool features about Android, and since I am loving to MOD my Device for full capacity, that would be a total no-go here!
[Desire HD General] borneanheadhunter:
H

Word! I totally agree with you. Ppl buy Android phones for its customization options.. if not, we'd buy the phone with a fruit as a logo.
[Desire HD General] 0semaj0:
Ive had a look at the IS and DHD screens in detail the other day at work and they are fairly similar. However, having 3 DHD in the household, they are all slightly different, a look in HBOOT showed the screen vendor, the best screen in my opinion that was also most similar to IS screen was made by AUO, and the Sharp was not as good...I suspect that maybe all IS screens are made by AUO? AUO for those who dont know is basically under Acer...
[Desire HD General] TurkXtreme:
samoled screen is the best. galaxy s has it.
[Desire HD General] Try4Ce:
That is actually not part of the discussion here. SAMOLED is a fine technology, but to be honest: Even tho it features vibrant colors and great contrasts, pictures from people or videos featuring real people suffer from being too vibrant and therefore appear a little "unnatural". I like the vibrant colors of SAMOLED, but I am perfectly fine with the SLCD the DHD offers.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
DHD is regular TFT-LCD, not SLCD. That's why I am surprised that people here say the DHD's screen is similar to the Incredible S.
[Desire HD General] dreamnitin:
DHD comes with S-LCD. It was originally decided to be launched with AMOLED, but due to the shortage of AMOLED they decided to come up with S-LCD. Samsung manufactures AMOLED that's why there was a shortage of Galaxy S too. :-)
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Sorry to say mate but you're not correct. The DHD has TFT-LCD. I can understand why you're confused because before the phone was released there was plenty of confusion about what screen it has, many thought SLCD, but eventually it was confirmed by HTC that it is LCD. But even now there still is confusion about the screen type. The good news is that the DHD has a very high quality TFT display. Have a look at this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvHaThf8w30&feature=player_embedded

Also have a look at these pictures, they compare the DHD with the Desire Z which has Super LCD.

You can clearly see that the Desire Z is brighter, more vibrant, has better blacks etc.
[Desire HD General] dlads:
Where i work i play with all the newest phones pretty much all day every day, the Incredible S and the DHD and Desire S all have pretty much the same screen, the difference is so minimal it doesn't even merit a conversation, to be honest i've come to like the incredible S quite a bit but besides the front facing camera and the larger battery and difference in screen size it's pretty much the same phone (spec wise) as the Desire HD, given the choice i would still have my Desire HD, losing that .3 of an inch might not seem like much but it really does make a lot of difference, if you wanted a smaller screen then I would go for the Desire S, it's such a sleek phone, but like i said before the difference in screen brightness just isn't worth shouting about.

Check out the optimus 2x and the arc mmmmmm now theyre two nice phones, shame the software lets them down, don't know how companies can allow them great devices go out with such **** launchers on them, if you could get sense on them they would rule over all, especially the optimus 2x ( i know it's off topic, i just wanted have a shout about how nice it is :) sorry )

Oh and the Desire Z is a nice phone too if you like the sideways flip out keyboard, personally i can't stand it but it's one of the those love it hate it things, just think how often you flip your phone on it's side to use the keyboard, i never do so i would hate having to all the time, but that's just me.
[Desire HD General] garethjknight:
I went into a shop specifically to compare the IS with my DHD as I thought I may consider trading. I came out very happy with the DHD. For me the IS screen is a bit over-saturated, but I think think this is just subjective and depends on what you're used to.

I thought maybe I would prefer the smaller profile as the DHD is a large phone but I am really used to it and it just doesn't feel too big anymore - other phones just feel too small!

The IS didn't feel as solid as the DHD. Although its nice and light the IS felt more plastic for some reason whereas the weight of the DHD is quite reassuring that the build quality is solid.

Also the IS was quite laggy in comparison. It shouldn't be as specs are similar so maybe it needed a reboot or something but my stock DHD was noticeably smoother.

Very happy with the DHD.
[Desire HD General] dhdhk:
I suppose there are two different versions of the dhd screen right? I guess I am lucky enough to have the better version, which looked similar to the incredible s one...
[Desire HD General] willk22:
A prelude...

Right, the other day I dropped my DHD onto some concrete from about 2 meters... Predictably the glass digitizer shattered!

However, I have no insurance (because I'm an idiot) and HTC quoted a repair cost of £85. Yes, £85. So I hit ebay and bought a digitizer, and decided to do the job myself!

Before I start:

1) THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY

2) I am not responsible if you do anything wrong, or even if you do everything right and it still goes wrong, or if your girlfriend leaves you, or if your dog dies, or if... You get the point :D

Part 1: Preparation

What you will need:

Your hands

A little brute force

1) Turn your DHD off!

2) Remove battery door and battery.

3) Remove sim card cover and take out sim card + SD card.

Done! That was definately the easy part...

Part 2: Taking off the unibody cover

What you will need

A torx 5 and torx 6 (T5, T6) screwdriver (or a very small flathead)

A small flathead screwdriver

LOTS of brute force

Some brain cells

1) Remove the LED flash cover. To be honest im not sure if their is a way this is meant to be done properly, but I used a flathead screwdriver (a VERY small one) to force it out from the top. This of course risks damaging the unibody cover but I really cant see a better way of doing it! (Turns out there is a better way of doing it, but you need an 'opening tool.' Cool).

2) Undo the 5 T6 screws holding the unibody to the device, they are labelled in the picture below in purple:

If you dont undo the screw underneath the LED flash cover and try to pull the unibody off, you end up with this:

Yes, I am that stupid.

(Still works though!)

I actually used a small flathead screwdriver to undo the T6 screws, but this risks ruining the screw itself. Also, the screws are tiny so make sure you keep them safe!

3) Remove the volume strip, its just a piece of plastic that covers the buttons inside, pinch it and then gently pull it upwards. It is quite delicate so be careful!

4) Slide the unibody case off. This isnt as easy as it sounds, it involves some brute force and some shimmying around... Be careful though! When I did this I think I damaged the LED at the top that flashed when you are low on battery. To be honest I found it extremely irritating anyway so I'm quite glad...

Part 3: errr...

Ok, I must admit I haven't actually got any further yet, I'm in the process of peeling away the old glass digitzer. When the new one arrives on wednesday I will complete this guide, but in the meantime here is a picture of the beasts' insides! If you have any requests for anymore pictures please don't hesitate to ask:

Poor thing :(
[Desire HD General] thiagodark:
man, i think you should remove "desire hd" from your signature! =o)

i just want to know a little more about power button and volume button, since i think i will need to change it someday! =oP
[Desire HD General] willk22:
Sure!

Power button:

It's the small grey square thing, the rest of it is attached quite nicely to the unibody!

Volume button/thing:

Looks quite flimsy :( the actual bit of plastic itself that comes off can be bought on ebay though!
[Desire HD General] adirtr:
Nice :-)

Thanks for this but a fix guide from the manufacturer would have been great...
[Desire HD General] aivarss:
For peeling away old digitizer, put your DHD for 5min in oven previously heated to 60°C .

One guy do it with HTC Desire and it works. There is actually full guide from this guy how to change digitizer on HTC Desire (not DHD) but guide is in latvian and Google translate is not very accurate, so it will not help you :rolleyes: But idea with oven heated to 60°C is usable.

And dont overheat it :D
[Desire HD General] Robi-K:
I found a disassembly video on youtube.

Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk:D
[Desire HD General] cchernets12:
thanks! Now I know how to open my phone when i want to mod it.
[Desire HD General] willk22:
Good video... But that voice is the most irritating thing I have ever heard in my life!
[Desire HD General] thiagodark:
any progress?
[Desire HD General] jittery:
wao....who on earth will want to disassemble? :P
[Desire HD General] strauts:
I Can help to translate from Latvian to English:) just give me the link of that guide.
[Desire HD General] willk22:
The reason I havent progressed any further is that I dropped the damn thing again whilst it was in pieces so its completely wrecked...

Open circuit board + wooden bedroom floor = £500 down the drain!

If anyone wants me to finish the guide I can, I got as far as getting the LCD off.
[Desire HD General] technoplunk:
Keep Going

If its toast then please keep going, anything your able to document will help the next one of us that ends up having to take our phone apart.

Yours may be dead but you can help save others!

Help! I can't install this rom on my hd2. I install it, but then it tells me I have no space enough on my phone, as soon as I try to install any app

what ssall I do?

I tried flashing by recovery 150 and 400, ma it's still the same, I have just 6mb free...

thank you for your answer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] catchtheball:
anyone please?

I like that rom too it's a personal favorite next to ud 3.2
[HTC Inspire 4G] ericcorp:
I just got an Inspire, about a week ago, and I flashed it with Coredroid. I noticed today, though, that I have about four dead pixels. I'm going to try to get the phone replaced by ATT, but I'll probably need to return it to the stock OS. I can't find a guide or anything to do that, can someone point me in the right direction?

[Thunderbolt General] MichaelDurham84:
I rooted my TB with Captainkrtek's method and everything works great. Superuser is running properly and not having any issues. But when I use cwm to try to flash a rom or kernel it tries to fastboot and fails. But it shows at the top "s-on" then says PG05img not located and fails. How could I have used his root method and still have s-on? Any hep would be great. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] MichaelDurham84:
Anyone? I really want to put a rom on here. I feel stupid I can't figure it out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
I've been trying to make the jog tabs transparent, when you answer or decline a call, and I can't seem to find it. I've already edited the tabs, in the framework drawable-hdpi, so my unlock screen is transparent. But that doesn't seem to affect the tabs when you answer a call. Anyone know the answer? I don't think it's in the phone.apk. Do I need to edit an xml file in the framework?
[Omnia 7 General] Chaoticaa:
I ordered my Samsung Omnia 7 from Amazon (Sold by FGS Trading).

Amazon said "unlocked GSM mobile phone" and it is an unlocked GSM mobile phone. I made the false assumption that it would also be unbranded. Tbh, there's no sign of branding anywhere other than that it says T-Mobile upon booting.

I know it's T-Mobile branded, but I read people referring to their branding per country too (ex. T-Mobile Germany). Does the country also affect anything or just the general T-Mobile branding? How can I check what branding I have?

AFAIK, the US doesn't have the Samsung Omnia 7, but the Samsung Focus. Under that logic, I shouldn't have the T-Mobile US branding, even though I ordered it from the US.
[Omnia 7 General] brummiesteven:
If it says T-Mobile on the back underneath the Samsung Logo and your phone was by default in English and not German then you most likely have a T-Mobile UK device.

It's ridiculously easy to debrand though.
[Omnia 7 General] richardyates:
Point me to the debranding instructions please:-) UK T-Mobile Omnia 7, stuck on the 7004 software, doesn't fall for the disconnect while checking for update routine - lost count of how many tries I have had:-)
[Omnia 7 General] TheAperture:
I also bought an unlocked t-mobile branded phone. It was simple enough to debrand by loading an updated firmware from samfimware.com

But, an easier option would be for you to look at

http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011/04/04/update-your-windows-phone-7-device-in-one-click/

Debranding the phone doesn't guarantee that you'll get NoDo immediately - it certainly didn't for me, and I had to use the Hungarian Hack to get my NoDo.

The link above should be easier for you.
[Omnia 7 General] Chaoticaa:
There is no physical branding on it. It's just the T-Mobile logo on boot.

But now that you mention it, I think the phone was in German when I first got it! Thanks for the info.
[Omnia 7 General] richardyates:
Thanks, I'll give it a go - phone absolutely refuses the trick going around - have tried probably 40 times:-(
[Omnia 7 General] TheAperture:
Unfortunately, this was a short term solution. It looks like Microsoft has stepped in and forced the removal of the third party update tool.
[Omnia 7 General] Chaoticaa:
I guess I was wrong, mine is T-Mo Hungary branded.

Here's how to check:

Step 1: Get a registry editor app. I suggest WP7 Root Tools by Heathcliff74 (available in the WP7 dev forum).

Step 2: Go to: Local Machine\System\Platform\DeviceTargetInfo

Step 3: check the value data of "MobileOperator". Mine says TMO-HU.
[Omnia 7 General] slysy:
I think you can work out the region by looking at the CSC version number. To get to this, dial *#1234# in diagnosis menu. This way you don't need a developer unlocked phone.
[Epic 4G General] durrett syndrome:
On ec05 if I save angry birds for example to my sd card and flash a different ROM, will my game pick back up where I was or will I have to restart?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
You'll have to reinstall it and restart. Use an app like titanium backup to backup and restore apps when switching roms.

Texted while driving
[Epic 4G General] darkierawr:
MyBackup

I use MyBackup Root when switching ROMs. It installs all applications with data without the need to sit there and press the install button over and over again. A real lifesaver.

I have had trouble with it though. Sometimes it will restore the applications without data, sometimes I get errors. Titanium is safer but more time consuming.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gontadu:
Hi,

I am new here and did my best searching but couldn;t find a conclusive answer so i just need some suggestions about a way forward.

So far using Froyo's move to SD implementation I have managed to gain some space on the phone for more apps but i am still running out. I also have to use the slow Apps 2 SD application.

So my problem is I want more space for apps. Using adb, setting the install location to SD card helps provide some more but i have hit that limit too.

So, from what i've read so far, there is another symbolic link based method, that creates a partition on the SD card and then the phone appears to think its still on the phone.

I have a stock ROM and would prefer not having a custom ROM for now. What would be the suggested way of getting Apps2sdext functionality? I mean like installing a package after rooting.

I have read about rooting, and apps2sdext also seems to need root. But i'd really appreciate if somebody could drop some links as to what I could do. Here are my thoughts of what they might be:

Root phone

Format SD card with partitions

Install a2sd

Another question: is there no way of using Gparted, etc to resize partitions and create the ext4 partition on pc? As in before taking it to the phone? that way no need to reinstall some apps.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gontadu:
Ok so for now I see I can use Z4Root to root my phone. So i've sorted that part out.

I also saw on DarkTremor apps2sd page that stock roms need a custom init.rc. Where are the instructions for that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
I'm not quite sure. I'm not an A2SD user. But, here are my hunches/ideas/opinions:

I suggest you partition with the partitioner in the recovery image. A2SD may have trouble finding the ext partition when the layout is quite different from what it expects, though I'm not quite sure.

As for not having to reinstall apps, this is what I did prior to installing A2SD:

Move all apps to phone memory

Backup

Partition SD

Flash A2SD

Install A2SD (yes, I had to manually launch a2sd scripts --')

Done

Works as intended, but I've found that there wasn't a significant increase in free phone memory storage, but I'm very sure a2sd was applied.

So I went back to native A2SD.

Which leads me to say: I suggest flashing a custom ROM with A2SD integrated (:

Idk, maybe I just didn't give A2SD some time. Just try it out.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gontadu:
Hmmm interesting! Still digging up more info as i go along...

Ok so far I installed, z4root and it installs fine and does the whole root and restart thing.

Now when i browse from adb shell i still get the $ prompt and not the # prompt. But when i go into z4root it provides options for re-root and un-root...

UPDATE: well i found out that once the shell opens as $, you type su. When you do that look at your phone and accept the superuser request, otherwise permission denied appears on the pc screen. now i have the # prompt!!!

UPDATE: Got Clockworkmod running now! and exploring a2sd... i give up. cannot find a concise thing that says here's the script that you use after doing the clockworkmod. what do i do???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
Hi,I came from megatron rom and is using CM7 rom now.Not sure partitioning of sd card work on stock rom but you can try.

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone! Below is what I did.

Instructions: Download DarkTremor Apps2sd.zip file.

Then,Backup all your sd card contents on your PC.You MUST backup as partitioning of sd card will wipe the whole sd card.

Reboot in recovery and select partition sd card > Partition sd card again> Swap Size:Choose 0 (I'm not sure what the other numbers will do.) > Then 512mb for the next option.Then it will start partitioning. > After you're done,upgrade ext.2 to ext.3 > Then upgrade ext.3 to ext.4 > After that,connect usb or take out sd card and put DarkTremor apps2sd.zip file in the root of your sd card and then flash it!

DONE AND PROFIT!:D

Your internal storage should decrease very slowly because your apps are now 'tricked' into being installed on your sd card:) Hope this helps!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gontadu:
Sorted my problem out!!

Gonna post details asap! So excited :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
So you did my method or what?
