1) Build quality - good, but could be better. Light leakage is an issue, and the power and volume buttons could use some more durability.

2) Dedicated 2-stage camera button. Small, minor complaint, I know, but it would be nice to have one again.

3) Camera - 5 seconds to take a picture, and too much noise reduction. I hate comparing my shots to my buddy's iPhone shots, even though on paper I should be better.

3) Stock battery - this isn't an issue anymore, really, because I use Deck's ROM and Tiamat's newest SBC kernels. Battery yesterday: 300 text messages (or more), web browsing, YouTube, a little Angry Birds, Android Market, downloading music, and Dropbox-ing on 3G and Wi-Fi. Phone was on all day and off the charger, from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. with 45% battery remaining.

4) Screen could be a bit better... it is a good screen, but comparing it to a few other phones...

5) It didn't come rooted.

You have absolutely nothing running .... like literally .... here .... this is some _real_ usage (and yes I consider this light).... I needed at least 2 more screenshots ... but oh well ...
[EVO 4G General] JDM Civic EG8:
1.How cheap the backcover is i'm scared one of these days i'm going to take the backcover off and its going to break.

2.the small battery for such a big feature phone,Should have came with at least 2000Mah in the box

3.The last thing I dislike about the EVO is how cheap the power button is. I don't press on it hard at all and it's still starting to sink in slowly.
[EVO 4G General] emcp422:
never saw it again after flashing fresh, dont really think that messes anything on the phone so haven't really tried to fix it or anything
[EVO 4G General] wrathx:
Some people may be minimalists... I too don't show a ton of things running in the background on my phone, and it lends to me having 40+ hour battery life on light usage. However, as it has been stated, the moment I start using any apps (Music, Pandora, HULU, etc), battery goes down relatively quickly.

It suits my needs for how I use my phone. :)
[EVO 4G General] theoner1:
+1. This is probably the ONLY issue I have with the Evo. Other than that I am completely satisfied.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Uncheck Mobile networks in the settings and use a good kernel, you'll get pretty good battery life. It made a huge difference to me.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
Minimalist? Where is his display usage? It looks as though he hasn't turned on his phone for that whole day..
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
My phone didn't miss notifications, I missed notifications and I had a ton of "missed notifications" in the notification box, sorry I wasn't clear about that.

My phone isn't defective, htc makes a good phone but not goodat optimizing android with the small capacity battery yet. Inky good thing about apple and iphone is the battery is much better but i won't go iphone until they make it with external battery.

People with INCREDIBLE battery turns off data or limits it's use. I have a smartphone so I can stay connected....

Swyped from my HTC Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.5 ROM.
[EVO 4G General] gnmitchell:
I agree with #5! :)
[EVO 4G General] gnmitchell:
Here's my phone usage breakdown today:

64 exchange emails (44 received and 20 sent), 20 personal emails (8 received and 12 sent), 27 minutes on the phone, 40 texts sent and 38 received, checked and updated facebook 10 times, 30 minutes of angry birds, searched for and booked a hotel for this weekend, went on xda 4 times, went onto a news site and read 3 articles, espn and read 4 articles.

Right now i'm at 10hours 38 minutes and 49 seconds on battery (8 hours on 4g) and I still have 66% left!
[EVO 4G General] thegregbradley:
I hate the power button and volume rocker. They're extremely cheap. And the camera totally blows, so much frakin' noise. Other than that, after I rooted and went AOSP with my rom, I'm totally in love with the phone. I regularly get between 15 and 20 hours of battery with moderate use. 10 hours with heavy use. 36+ with practically no use.

For anyone who is on a sense rom and complaining about battery life, go into your mobile networks section and uncheck "always on mobile connection." Your battery life will drastically improve. You will still get push notifications and what have you, it just allows the 3G antenna to sleep when the screen goes off. I honestly could not tell the difference between my connectivity when I had switched it off, it really should be off from the factory.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
Camera lens gets all scratched up

720 video is a joke

Battery life for me was awesome unitil I moved. Now its crap. Before the move I could throw a rock a my cell tower. Now I bareley have one bar and its killing my battery. Lucky to get 14 hrs now.

HTC letters fell off the battery cover.

No bt hid KB support on stock Roms
[EVO 4G General] kris54241:
SS or it didn't happen lol Smh ...I have gotten 58 hours out of my evo....I send about 250 texts a day...idr what thread they are on...pretty sure the snap 7.6 thread but if u have your battery calibrated ..lower havs ...set profiles for CPU its possible
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
If you never get emails then the above will save your battery. If you do, by definition, imap with push requires an active data connection at all times to send notification of newly arrived message. You turn that off, and push will stop working 5 minutes after the screen shuts off.

If you are using the gmail client, it ignores this setting, and push still works. For any other email client that properly honors this setting, push will not work.
[EVO 4G General] r916:
Absolutely nothing, takes good enough pictures for me and videos. Works as a phone, fast, I get pretty damn good battery 9+ on moderate use, set on performance 1.228ghz.

[EVO 4G General] KB112:
I love the phone to be honest. My only complaint is the Sprint Network where my office is. I jump from 1-2 bars constantly and my battery just depletes. At home its good and I have done great with Warm Z and nets suv kernel on the weekend.
[Android Apps and Games] jjdavola:
This is probably a dopey question, but here it goes. I have a D2G, but I unfortunately can't root it again (FYI my firm flagged my phone as being an unauthorized Android device on the server when I tried), so wireless tether is not feasible.:( My question is is there a way to install and use PDANet, Easy Tether or Klink on my ASUS Transformer?

Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated. :)
[Android Apps and Games] djembeman:
Bluetooth Tether?

Have you tried pairing your phone to your Transformer via Bluetooth? People are able to just bluetooth pair their moto phones to the Xoom and check a wrench that shows up (tablet) when you select the connection to your droid. After clicking the wrench you might see a tethering option.
[Android Apps and Games] jjdavola:
I always intended to, but was afraid of being disappointed. Then last night I played with the bluetooth settings a little and it worked. :eek: I didn't try it for an extended time, but I wi-fi was definitely off and bluetooth was definitely enabled and I was able to get on a couple websites without a problem. :cool:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
I have a HD2 that I plan on installing Android on (currently WinMo 6.5), as it's cheaper, I hope, than buying a new phone. I have a step by step guide to follow, along with all the files I need, like HSPL3, MGLDR, and CWM, etc. All I need now is the ROM build. My confusion lies in the fact that the ones I look at seem to be for US T-Mobile HD2's, and mine is an unbranded UK model. I also keep seeing references to LEO512 or LEO1024? I'm pretty sure what I want is on here, but the sheer number of threads/posts will take me forever to work through! Can some kind soul point me in the right direction and I'll take it from there? Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
With the ported android roms you havent to fear to destroy your device flashing a wrong rom.

This issue is only related to wm 6.5 roms/radios.

...you only have to decide if you want to throw wm6.5 away and use a nand build or keep wm6.5 and use a sd build.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
Above, off topic or what?

Ok. Just watched a video of the HyperDroid install, looks pretty straight forward. But it doesn't have the Sense UI, which I like. CyanogenMod 7 doesn't appear to have it either? (I also don't see the link to the download for CM7 either, but I'm guessing I'm stupid or blind?)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
you want any rom that supports the eu leo with 512 in the title
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kam333:
Hey,

1st of all welcome, 2nd - be prepared... android can be very addictive.

As for your questions, LEO512 = European with 512mb rom (which you have) & LEO1024 = tmoUS with 1024mb rom.

If you prefer sense based roms you wont really go wrong with any build from Rafpina, imilka, Sergio76 or cmylxgo. Tho ive found RAFDROID HD builds are very stable & fast, also very straight forward to setup (tho there is NO Best rom id say this is a good starting point)

Hi,

+ 1 for this post.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Yup 2nd that !

Rafdroid is still my favorite everyday build because of the sense widgets which show my emails, news etc on the 'desktop'.

Just about everything works in that build and is a perfect step from WM to Android.

First I would have a go with Android on the SD-card as it also works like it should and should be extreemly simple if you have a correct radio (ver 2,08 and above I thought). Should be easy to check in the software version tab all the way on the right hand side I believe.

After playing with it you can still decide if you want to go natively Android or not.

There are backup tools like Titanium pro which are worth the money.

I betcha will also enjoy the Android market!

And .... welcome to the group!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
Thanks for the welcome.

I've decided I'll wipe and install to the Nand memory, I already have a Hero and love Android and the way I can customise it. Will try the process tonight. :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
Ok. Been at this for a while now, but I'm stumped.

Step one was install HSPL3. Went without a hiccup, no problems.

Step 2 was to install the radio. Chose EUradio (radio leo 5.15.50.14). However, I've tried half a dozen times, Windows says I am connected and I get to the HTC screen with a progress bar but then after 2-3 mins, I get an error message saying there is no communication.

Have tried:

1. different usb ports

2. loading into bootloader screen (coloured bars). Initially it says serial but then switches to USB after a short while. Tried from there, no luck.

3. rebooted the pc, and phone multiple times.

I did a search on the forum for 'no USB communication' but I get different threads bouncing about, none getting the same as me. Any ideas welcomed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
If you want to use ROM Manager with hour HD2 you will have to use cLK for your custom Android bootloader and not MAGLDR. Go and check out the "ROM Manager Now Supports HD2" thread and you can get more info on it there, it os a short bit accurate tutorial post on page two of the thread, it is only three pages right now anyway so not a lot of reading to do.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Do you have the latest version of ActiveSync or WMDC, depending on what Windows your computer uses, installed on your computer? You need the most upcto sate versions of these to flash straight through bootloader.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
Thanks, but I've not even reached that part yet. The tutorial I'm following is:

1/ Install HSPL3

2/ Install radio

3/ Install MGLDR

4/ Install CWM

5/ Install Android

I'm currently stuck on step 2.

Yes. I'm running Win7 x64, everything is up to date. I did read you are supposed to turn off any antivirus? I'm using M$ Security Essentials. Would this affect it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

You should be using :

radio version 2.15.50.14,which you can get here:

http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F

"Initially it says serial but then switches to USB after a short while."

When it changes to USB ,that is the time to start flashing the radio.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
Forgot to ask earlier, should I be removing the sim card while doing this? I've been putting in a spare one so I don't affect my 'real' one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
It should not make any difference.

I never take mine out when I change ROMS etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
My apologies. It was a typo error earlier. I have been trying 2.15.50.14, it failed so I tried 2.08.50.05 + task29. Neither worked. Just downloaded from the link you posted, in case my file was corrupt, exactly the same, comms error (Error 262).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Ok,

Let's start again.

1.task 29 (get rid of old ROM)

2.Try to find HSPL4 and install

3.radio 2.15.50.14

4.MGLDR

See if that works...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
No. Still wont work. Will not run task29, get the same 'Error 262'.. :confused:

As it was bought sim free, could there be something on it blocking the software? Or on my pc?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Ok,

with a little research(using my sig guide number 3 :D )

Error 262 is to do with activesync...or in your case Windows Mobile Device Center (ActiveSync) on Windows 7.

These drivers did not come installed in windows 7 so you have to go looking for them.Get the latest ones,update and try again.

Phew,this is getting epic

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
Windows Mobile Device Centre comes preinstalled with Win7, and I can't find any version better than the one I have. ActiveSync only works on WinXP SP2, or earlier. Would me running Win7 x64 cause any problems?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Go to here to see about downloading the latest WMDC software from Microsoft. You have to have the updated drivers from it or you will never get a HTC USB sync connection.

If the drivers are not the problem though you may want to try another USB cable if you have one avaliable. Sometimes it also helps to to clear all existing drivers from your USB ports in device manager and start fresh. And sometimes it is just a computer being stuburn and switching to another computer works, I know that sounds crazy but it is true lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
aha the 262 message, I had that one too a couple of weeks ago.

Sec, I remember something. Which EXE file are you starting?????

Do you happen to know which radioversion is on the HD2 now?

Otherwise skip the radio step and install magldr.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:

How would I check what version radio I have on my phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Mmm, thinking. Are you very sure you have HSPL 2.08 on your HD2 now?

What do you see when you boot it with the volume down? The tri-colour screen.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:

when you flash HSPL you need to choose the 2.08 not the 2.08.0000

Yup, that is wrong. You probably choose 2.08 but not hspl.

Checking my display it says.

You two folks are stars. That indeed was my problem. Installed HLSP2.08, then radio 2.15.50.14, perfect. Next will be MGLDR, but need my phone working for now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
Ok. Many thanks to those that have helped so far. However, seems to be a fail at the last hurdle! :confused:

Followed all the steps, up to and including CWM. Booted into MGLDR, schrolled down and loaded my chosen build from the SD card. Loaded up, and everything went as I expected, up to the reboot after installation. Now my phone is just sat there with 'HTC CMYLXGOroms' onscreen, and even after leaving it for 30 mins, still the same. Have tried removing the battery, just boots up the same. Tried reinstalling, still the same. Chosen rom is "CMYLXGOroms.stock.desire.hd.v1.1.9.1n.LITE. Edition".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
Success! I tried loading a different Rom, and it works. Obviously my copy of the first one must be faulty. All I need to do now is get a nice looking skin on it. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
hi

Glad you got it working.

When you eventually get the ROM as you want it, go into CWM and back it up.

You can then play around with other roms and then restore the original if you don't like them, or if something goes wrong.

:)

Flashed from my fingers to your face
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Yup, back a working one up, copy afterwards to a local HD to make sure you have it for future use.

You can now freely play with roms as much as you want knowing that you can get back fully up and running in 15mins. (even did this while driving a car)

I've had simular stuff with roms that wouldn't boot and 9 out of 10 it is the recovery partition size that is not correct (search for simular non booting stuff in the thread, they will come up)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DK63:
I've now tried 4 different rom builds, and only one will work, HyperDroid GBX. I must be doing something wrong as can't believe none of the others work? :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Before you install a new ROM,go to CWM and wipe data,partition cache and dalvik(in advanced).

This clears all previous ROM information.

Then you should have no problem installing new ROMS.

Don't forget,when you find one you like ,back it up.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Have you tried Rafdroid 4.02 ?

Try the next steps:

Make sure you download the recovery_400M file first.

Now boot your phone in the magldr thing and place it in 'USB flasher' mode.

Run the 'daf.exe' file on your computer.

Now the right partitioning is done on the phone itself via that tool.

Next you need to partition your SD card in the correct way.

I use this http://www.partitionwizard.com/ free and good.

You need 2 partitions on your SD card. A FAT32 one in front and a EXT3 (or 2) in the end (where the system puts it data on)

Careful, backup your data on the sd-card as you erase everything on it with the steps below!!!

Start that program and you will see the cards partion layout in the program.

Now rightclick and delete every partition you see on the card (make sure it is the sd-card!!!).

Now rightclick and 'create' select 'primairy' instead of 'logical'.

Next select 'FAT32' and clustersize .. wel take '64KB'

Folowing step is to adjust the slider below. I prefer about 1GB for the system data so adjust untill you have approx 1000MB (give or take 50MB) 'unallocated space after'

Press 'ok' and it should go back to the main window.

You will see the next partition at the end being 'unallocated'.

Now rightclick on that unallocated and press 'create'. A window will popup that you can't blablabla ... ignore that by saying 'yes'.

Select 'Primairy' again -> 'EXT3' -> '4KB' and 'ok'

Now hit the apply button at the top and it should be done in about 10 to 20 seconds.

Ok so you've downloaded the full_rafdroid_hd_ext_4r0f2.zip file. DO NOT unzip it!

Just place the zip on your freshly created sd-card via the computer in the root or so.

Insert the card in the HD2 and boot your phone in the magldr thing.

Select 'ad recovery' and select 'install zip from sdcard'. Next 'choose zip from sdcard' and you should be able to find the zip and the rest should be straightforward.

The first boot can take like 10 to 15 minutes.
