I can only compare my hd2 against my wife's vibrant, which is also a native android phone.

From what I can see, hd2 runs every bit of android except one shortcoming: the color depth is not as good as a native device due to the fact that android is ported, not native. Everything else is perfect
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] songokussm:
my 0.02.

when comparing my hd2 to the atrix (att's flag **** phone) i went back to the hd2. Very little differences between them. You notice no differences in everyday use except for battery life, and gps connection speed. And its a dual core phone!

secondly, charnsingh_online is fixing the missing kernal code. which will offer more features, and fix current bugs. hes doning an amazing job.

thirdly, because sony sued geohot. I gave up on sony products for now. which is a while nother issue.

go for the hd2 and clk and you will not notice much a difference.

Lawl I find it hard to believe sony's x10 camera is as bad as the HTC camera, since sony is well known for having good cameras, and hTC producing well, "****" cameras. A bit of exaggeration yes, but we all know HTC doesn't produce the camera we want.

Anyways, yes everything is working, the x10 might be a bit snappier, but the HD2 has a variety maybe of 5x the x10 has?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jazzaddict:
is the issue with low call volume and radio fixed?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] siddharth singh:
yup almost everything is fixed low call volume fixed way back
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mancubus:
I've also owned both and would take the HD2 every day of the week.

As I'm a stock nut, I've settled on tytungs Nexus V2.7 ROM and everything works.

As I see it the only thing the X10 has that an Android HD2 doesn't is the ability to charge it when its turned off (not that anyone cares about that crap.!)

I also love the hardware keys to answer & end calls.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
I agree HTC has a history of putting horrible cameras into good phones. But the HD2's camera is actually pretty darn good. I mean it's not a photographer quality super camera or anything, but it is worlds apart from the previous 2 HTC phones I've owned (Kaiser and Rhodium). It is imo as good as you really need a cel phone camera to be
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shuka325:
Actually, if you have cLK and flash CWM with Rom Manager you can charge while power off. It may not be a game changer but it is possible now and a nice feature.

(Just retested to make sure i wasn't lying)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azer0:
Since i have owned both phones, i thought to put my 2¢ into this. I got my x10 in august 2010 (thats when i joined xda), it was running android 1.6 then (everyone else was on 2.2), it was laggy, the timescape and media scape didint help either and there was no way of disabling them, some of the apps weren't compatible with it but most of all you couldn't get root on it, therefore no custom roms and S.E. said they were going to update it to 2.1 and that would be it so i started to hate it, not the actual device so much as S.E. but non the less i didn't like it any longer, but i was hooked on android.

Thru some mishap (sent phone to unlock, they lose it, i get a check), i bought my beloved HD2 and i love it more and more everyday. I have been running nand android since magldr(SD builds before that) and now i'm using clk with HyperDroid BGX and it feels just like any another android phone. HD2 has come a long way to supporting android but it does now and is stable enough to use everyday. There is one thing i hate about this phone and thats the <b>glass</b> screen, it has the misfortune of breaking easily, if you drop it. 1/4 of my screen is cracked right now and thats the second time i cracked the screen.

To sum it up. Well things have changed since i had the x10 but if i had to choose between those 2 then i'd still get the HD2 any day but thats just me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] consolation:
Just to clarify for those who never owned an x10. Both phones have 65k dual touch screens.

Both have pretty horrible cameras, while the x10's 8MP is ok in very bright daylight, even slightly overcast sky generates a tonne of noise. Small ccd = tiny sensors, you need to keep dropping the resolution to stop it turning into pixelated mess. The 5MP on the HTC is more consistent (lol, consistently bad tbh, but much better than HTC's other efforts from that generation), however, the smoothing software on it is pretty ****ty - it can obliterate detail if you let it. X10 has only a single flash as, opposed to HD2's dual, annoyingly you can't make it work as an ehm ... flash. Sony makes you turn it on like a torch, then turn it off after each shot manually. It gets really annoying quickly, especially since it's probably the most anaemic light source ever, you'd be better off flicking your zippo on. (This may have been fixed in custom roms. )

Bit ott, but if you want decent video, get an iPhone, sorry the inability of android to adjust volume gain means the audio is horrible and often distorted. For example if you video a band the sound track will just be a distorted mess, there's no way to adjust the gain - wtf Google? You don't need to record loud music to see that, if you hold the camera and speak loudly it will distort. (There's a hilarious posting on Samsung's website where an owner complaiins about this, and is told by tech support to put their finger over the microphone - classy.) Having said that, if you like silent movies X10's 720p shooter is pretty good when paired up with a class 4+ sd card.

Personally I found the gorilla glass display on the hd2 to feel more robust then x10's more plastic feeling effort. However the more widescreen format makes it easier to use one handed than the hd2. Downside of that is that webpages look smaller when browsing than the 4" screen size would lead you to believe. It's a very narrow screen. However X10's smaller screen plus higher resolution makes text visibly crisper and easier to read at small sizes. Not quite iPhone 4, but pretty close.

just wondering which radio version do you recommend for Australian users? I read somewhere certain radio version can cause high battery drain and poor reception? And does the T-mobile HD2 works well on vodafone/3 network, I mean are there any issue when roaming on Telstra network?

I recommend radio ROM 2.12 for australian users, I used 2.15 for ages and had loads of data issues, but 2.12 is perfect. No complaints at all. Don't know about TMOUS in australia though
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chandureddy99:
HD2 is better

Well HD2's Android capability is same as any stock Android phone (or even better sometimes). Also I like the HD2's design better than the X10. X10 is bulky.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jazzaddict:
appreciate if somebody would tell me the hardware differences between difference HD2 models? According to Wikipedia, T-mobile T8585 900/2100 comes with 1GB ROM and 576 RAM, slightly different dimension and lighter?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] avl_avl_avl:
HD2

For me HD2's better, in looks and quality. Android runs just as well as any native, but it depends a lot on the android build you choose.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] consolation:
The biggest advantage IMHO is the extra ram, 576 v. 384 for x10. It's a problem with x10 if you have a few big apps. For example, when I use copilot nav and have music playing in the car, hd2 remains smooth and has no problem launching other apps without launcher closing. X10, (while not as bad as something like Droid / milestone/magic 3g) will have to unload the launcher and will usually stop playback when another app is launched. Tbh, I never had the hd2 have a memory issue, you can even play a reasonably grunty game without your other apps unloading. Gun Bros comes to mind.

Can someone please post a link of the radio that fixes the low in call volume. Its driving my girl crazy so she's driving me crazy
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
No idea what you are talking about, but have you tried increasing it? Say through like simple audio manager.

Pretty sure the radio won't change it, but a different rom will. Or you could try search up your problem. You know we have a search button for a reason, it's not an accessory.

I have updated my phone and now, my phone can't power on (of course I have long-pressed Power button). I am using GT540. Do I have to bring it to LG Customer care? And how I can fix this at home? Please help me!
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
Try this:

Download the European Open 2.1 ROM from here: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz (It is official Europe ROM from LG)

Download KDZ Updater from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?wmtzmzmyuzn

Extract the .rar file and open KDZ_FW_UPD select your ROM by clicking the little folder icon and navigate to the downloads folder, select V20A_00.kdz make sure the mode is set to 3GQCT and DIAG. Hold VOLUME DOWN and plug in the usb cable (KEEP HOLDING DOWN) "Download Mode" should appear on your screen. Let any drivers install then Press "Start Software Update" just wait around 10 mins and your phone should work, if it still doesn't work, repeat the steps above but change DIAG to EMERGENCY and if Emergency doesn't work try CS_EMERGENCY.

Hope it helps,

Jack

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shimonu:
I'd like some help to, if possible, access the internal memory to retrieve some recorded video. I'll explain why this is a problem.

I was recording quite a bit of video the other day and I only used the pause button, not the stop button, and it appears the SGS(with gingerbread) does not save the video unless you press stop. But I'm hoping the phone will have the video on memory and that it didn't actually delete it, it's just not recognizing the recorded video as used space. Would it be possible to access the area of the memory the phone thinks is free space? I'd appreciate very much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Previous post exact same subject from memory answer was no.

But recuva may read deleted stuff on phone and root explorer or super manger may find the files on the phone .

Hi, i know the iphone's grip of death, causing the phone to lose signal is very much well known, has anyone experienced it with the 2x? i've noticed that when i hold the lower part of the phone that my phone signal goes down (how else am i going to hold the phone)

has anyone else experienced it? and is there a resolution?
[LG Optimus 2x] ll_l_x_l_ll:
dude. any phone. and i mean any phone, will lose signal bars when you hold in close to the antenna. they just made a big deal out of it for apple because the death grip made the phone lose all the bars and signal.

you shouldnt worry about this. and hold it the normal way you do it. if there is drop calls, you are good to go. period
[LG Optimus 2x] baste07:
thanks

will having a rubber case help reduce it? although i haven't seen a capdase or any rubber/silicone case yet for the LG Optimus 2x
[LG Optimus 2x] MillyMoo106:
You're right, mine drops one bar
[LG Optimus 2x] baste07:
sometimes this causes me to miss receivig text messages on time (they comein 45 to 1 hour delayed)

that's why i'm hoping getting "bumpers" will help prevent this.
[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
As long as you still have the signal at acceptable level it should not matter if it's 3 bars or 2 bars. It's not like better signal will make you talk faster :p
[LG Optimus 2x] e3jeremey:
Fommy.com has some as does speckproducts.com
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
The other issue with Apple's Death Grip was how the antenna was designed. If you had your finger on the wrong spot, you conduct the antenna to itself and it goes X_X
[LG Optimus 2x] baste07:
thanks, although there were ocassions (rare ones) that my signal totally went out. but my issue is not receiving text messages on time 1 or 2 late on moderate times when i'm playing with the phone.

Hey, I was wondering if someone can turn the Droid X Keyboard from the leaked Droid X Gingerbread ROM into an installable APK that works with Gingerbread. I already tried multiple ways to install the APK's designed for 2.2 and 2.1 but none work on Gingerbread, so I decided to find the leak and take out the APK from that.

Hi,

fist my data:

htc desire hd ... with android revolution 5.1.5 and the CodeRed Theme.

ah i have 2.1 Sense installed ... can i upgrade to 3.0 sense,

so the softwareinformation shows 3.0 instead of 2.1 sense?

i want to have the new sense 3.0 lockscreen with the icons, which i can pull into the ring to activate them.

But how i can change the locksreen?

first i flashed:

HTC Sense 3.0 SMS Interface (version 0.4) for Android Revolution HD 5.1.x with no framework interference

then:

HTC Sense 3.0 Weather (version 0.5) for Android Revolution HD 5.1.x

then:

HTC Sense 3.0 Lock-Screen (version 0.10) for Android Revolution HD 5.1.x

but where i can change the lockscreen?

anywhere in the setup?

i rebooted, but i cant change the lockscreen, have no setting in personlize-setup :-P

or should i flash the addon in a another order?

and is the addon: "RosieTrans5KD" and "Sense3_Mms-0.3" needed?

There are a lot of new versions of the add-ons you want to use. I'd give it a go updating them all through, then checking your settings to see if you get the proper menu for the Lock Screen.

Strange, while making the video it went wrong just like the N1. In the middle of the screen it's very hard to reproduce the problem. At the edges of the screen the chances of crazy stuff happening increases.

The EXACT same thing that happens on the Nexus One happens in the VEGA, when the two circles align in the same axis, they "boder" each other. To play games, like Brother in Arms i use the left-up corner for movement, and to right-down corner for camera. If you look for a TOTALLY game experience dont go ahead.

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
this is a silly question...

1) your asking in the desire s forum so you already expect the answer

2) why would you favor a old deisre in favor for the new one which fixed all the old ones faults..
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Actually, there are two ways to look at it:

If you are a user, who wants functionality etc...go for desire S (also a little more pricy)

But if you are a app/ROM developer, I'd go for the good ol' desire as it is much more supported... (also little cheaper)

I don't wanna sound negative after only a week of owning the phone, but I'm starting to think Desire S is going to be a little like Legend - Not as big leap forward from it's predecessor with not as many users/devs...

There are gazilions of Desire users, but how many Desire S users do you know other than here? :) Just sayin' ;)
