[EVO Shift 4G General] vintagetechtm:
my 2 cents...

My first android phone was the HTC Droid Eris, which I loved. Prior to the HTC Droid Eris I had a HTC Pocket PC with Window mobile 5.0. I loved the HTC phone but hated the operating system. I actually down graded to non-smart phones (two LG) and found they were better then the windows mobile os. Anyway, after the HTC Droid Eris I switched to Sprint and my only option for a real keyboard was the Samsung Moment. Lets just say I dumped my Samsung Moment before I was due for an upgrade and ran straight back to HTC. I love my HTC Evo Shift.

In my experience, Samsung does a poor job of paying attention to the small details that shouldn't be forgotten. The Samsung Moment's touch screen sensitivity was total crap. I found my self having to almost pound on the Samsung Moment's Screen. When I switched to the HTC Evo Shift the touch screen sensitivity was great. The Samsung Moment forgot the haptic feedback with the touch sensitive menu, home, and back buttons at the bottum of the phone. Really?! Now I can't really compare the two phones completely since the htc evo shift is definitely better regarding hardware, but I can tell you that my first experience with Samsung phones is that they are not very good with their designs. To be honest I was so completely turned off to Samsung phones that I didn't even give Samsung's newer Android devices a chance. I was told by a Sprint repair rep that generally HTC and LG make better phones then Samsung.

Don't let the 800mhz rating on the processor fool you. This phone is fast. In fact, per pdadb-dot-net, the processor in the HTC Evo Shift has an clock frequency range of 800mhz to 1,000mhz. According to Phil Nickinson writing for androidcentral, "Power under the hood

And the Shift has quite a bit of muscle, with Qualcomm's single-core MSM7630 processor running at 800MHz. It's worth repeating at this point that you shouldn't read too much into the Shift's processor running at 800MHz instead of the 1GHz chip we see in other HTC phones, including the original EVO 4G. It's a different architecture. Think of water rushing through a pipe. The pipe's larger on the Shift, so you can push more water (data) without having to push it as fast. It's more efficient. Add to that the 512MB of RAM and 2GB of ROM on which to store applications, and you won't be worried about whether you've got enough muscle to get the job done. In daily use, it's fast, fast, fast."

My personal opinion, skip Samsung and go with HTC. No phone is perfect, but I have found that HTC does a good job of producing good hardware for any smartphone os, in general. I also have found that HTC support generally stands by their product and I have had positive experiences with HTC support when I had my HTC Pocket PC.

The 2GB of ROM is a lie.

[EVO Shift 4G General] flannel:
Like it!

I'm quite pleased with my Shift!

Pro's:

-Nice hardware keyboard

-GREAT battery life

-Pretty sturdy

-Screen size (800x480 resolution, which is the same as the EVO, packed into a smaller screen--pixel density isn't quite iPhone-like, but it looks great to me!)

-CPU

Con's:

-A bit on the chunky side (size/form factor is about the same as the original Droid/Droid 2)

-Display isn't QUITE as nice as others (SAMOLED...)

-HTC Sense (Don't take my word for it though; some people love the Sense UI, but I think a custom ROM without it feels way snappier and more fun to use)

My advice? It really depends on your preferences. If a hardware keyboard is a must-have for you, then get this phone! I think you'll be very happy with it, and I doubt there's any other keyboard-equipped android phones headed Sprint's way any time soon. If you don't quite need a hardware keyboard, then I say WAIT. The EVO 3D is scheduled to land in the summer. A 4.3" screen is just too big to hang with, you say? I've also heard (somewhat reliable) rumors floating around about another HTC with a 4" screen (basically a Sprint version of the Incredible S landing around the same time). So in just a short while, you will have options galore!

I love mine except for the inadequate battery it comes with.
[EVO Shift 4G General] zrmxp95:
My thoughts on the phone...

I love the phone.....before it I had the Samsung Epic.....it was nice for a short while until you use it enough to find all the little problems with it.....i did not like the Epic's keyboard.....on the other hand I love my shift.....HTC Sense is ok......but if you don't like it there is CM7......I love the Shift's keyboard and HTC has great customer service....Samsung does not keep up on the phones that are already put out.....if there is a problem they just put out a new phone (Samsung Moment-Intercept-Transform) and leave the people that have the older phones behind with all sorts of problems......HTC is the best android phone maker for sprint I have found...hope this helps
[EVO Shift 4G General] DWake014:
??? I get like 16 hours easy, probably could last a day and a half just sending txts, few calls and some internet browsing
[EVO Shift 4G General] zrmxp95:
Ikr....my shift last all day with just sending text messages....the only problem i have with the battery is if i loose sprint service and it searches or if i need to use it i put it on roaming.......then the battery time goes down but if im on sprint service and not running every app on my phone the battery lasts a long time... :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I'd say if I had to do it all again and buy a new phone, I'd get two EVO Shifts :p . One for daily and one for testing new roms. Best phone I've ever had hands down :D . On a 1 to 10, it's a 13 :rolleyes:
[EVO Shift 4G General] Sentinel One:
With my old-school phone 1500 mAh was enough. With a smartphone, and using it as a smartphone 1500 mAh is totally inadequate. I had to buy a Mugen 3600 mAh to correct this. Now my usage between charges is great.
[EVO Shift 4G General] travanx:
I am coming from a Samsung Moment that I couldn't stand anymore. The Shift is amazing. My fiance also got a Shift before me after I told her it seems HTC makes the best phones on Sprint. Everything just works. Unlike that POS Samsung phone where it still doesn't work right.
[EVO Shift 4G General] creepinm3:
I am coming from a G2. I wanted to know would I be missing out on anything? Sure vanilla android (blah blah) I don't want to miss out on a MAJOR factor just by switching
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
My friend has the G2 and I don't think you'll be missing out on anything. The Shift is a great device imo. The keyboard may be a little better on the G2 but its still really solid... If you want stock Android there's plenty of good ROMs out there.
[EVO Shift 4G General] grandebob:
I'm happy with mine.

Battery life is excellent. I can generally make it 2 days on a charge (7am Monday to 10pm Tuesday). The keyboard is quite usable. The size is not too big, but not too small.

Had an epic for a couple weeks. Never used the FFC. Felt cheap and light and plasticy. Battery lasted one day, maybe. Screen was gorgeous though.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lemonspeakers:
This deserves an epic thread of its own. =)

I am flabbergasted how one person can do this while it takes DFT um, who knows?

Maybe DFT is working on MANGO already and we all thought it was NoDo.

Maybe the joke was on us all along.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
All I know is I'm so glad it's available, I've been checking these forums everyday for this. But of course now my internet is down, joke's on me, lol.

So now you can close your thread: 'DFT got NoDo working' ? :-D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] -deuces-:
i have a feeling that dft's release will be epic...prolly because it will come with the new magldr, and its been about 4 months since they first released the intial wp7 rom, so hopefully the camera and multitouch bugs are gone. the official thread of dft wp7 did say "beta" :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lemonspeakers:
i know right? hahahlol

:D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zamorl:
expect sth. more by DFT...

yes, they made the first release on hd2.

keep going on mango...

but nothing to us anymore..

Maybe, ms have to offer amnesty and enlistment to them.

However, who knows...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lemonspeakers:
im not suprised if they did. but they are DFT and not the chevron team who went out loud in public and got their @$$ sold out just to keep their fingers tied down.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] yuhenyo:
does the new version have the original blue theme or is it still dark blue?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zamorl:
only the dark & white , but more aero by Yuki.

Besides, how the original blue looks like??

i`ve never seen it before...:p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
when I dont know , but the DFT release will be different from this one.

first: the dft nodo build will be updateble :)

secondly: the dft build wont have overlaps on the modules.

so this release is cool but the one from dft will be the bomb :D

and don't forget one thing , the people on the dft team are doing this in there free time and they only release stuff that is 100% noob prove and that is way they always take there time.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zamorl:
absolutely!!

furthermore, the mango, which is hacked by dft few months ago, is our real expectation!!!

all of us are waiting for it !!!

DFT , I NEED THE MANGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:o
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zamorl:
SO, that`s dft...:cool:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] skribbler86:
Who cares! YukiXDA got nodo working! YAY!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] YukiXDA:
^^

It's not updatable by zune for the moment since DFT has chosen to don't use the same blocksize as other WP7 roms

Edit: and I'm not sure it's a good idea, imagine you connect your HD2 to PC, zune dectect an update available, you'll so happy and this update overwrite some specific drivers for HD2 by some for HD7. poof no way to boot, you lose your data and cry XD

There is few module overlap since we have to keep these modules as they are (specific drivers for HD2) and not include all from the new build. It won't be the same if we could use the IMGFS structure of the new build (the imgfs.bin beside IMGFSFromDump) but we can't because of the different block size lol It's so stupid for now since it's a pretty little changement it magldr :)

And this cause none problem for now and the rom wouldn't run better if there were not.

Mango, mango, mango... but it's not the problem, I understand people are waiting for this release and since it's the end-user which import they only see that. But it's not the problem, it's just an update of SYS like other. There is a lot knowledge at xda

The MOST important are drivers. HD2 is quietly the same as HD7 but not for few things. And so few drivers we use are specialy compiled tu run WP7 on HD2. For that we have to thanks DFT team a lot since we couldn't have any build at all!!!

And I hope this is their stuff and not HTC test and that they can update them or give the knowledge (or another developper can do the same) otherwise we'll be blocked to update at a moment HD2 since these few modules won't be compatibles with new ones.

Another thing, people can do all tests they want to analyse power consumption between my build or another for nothing. It's not the choice of what we build, nor the registry but a lack of the driver battery.dll (and certainly a problem with the camera driver since theere is a trick) and the battery mdd isn't easily updatable since the module dependencies. And we have only one, only one choice :) So it'll be the same for any other build expect if DFT or other can achieve a new driver.

The same for multitouch: All build use 8K_touchpdd_res.dll and the problem come from that driver. Same for audio, same for RIL, same for camera.

So the end-user choice of a build for moment is for extra stuff and design lol And waiting for new drivers...

hi guys i have flash my hd2 with this room ,but i have two critical problems

1-insane drain battery lose all batery in 4 hours

2-camera dont have auto focus .i allready install alot off aplication but all cameras software dont have autofocus

someone know any way to correct this bugs??

tnks to all for any help .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] nichitandrei:
Great job YukiXDA!!!

+1 for that.

I appreciate the DFT because they made WP7 on HD2 possible and for nice tool magldr, from what I understand, the only way to run WP7. But now, YukiXDA is the best for getting NoDo to work on HD2 and the most important, he uploaded it himself on XDA and answered us most of our questions (giving us "technical support").

It's not normal to have that battery consumption so if you can't find other way so solve this I suggest you to reinstall the ROM all over again:(

In the original camera app the only way to focus is switching from camera to video and back to camera, as far as I know:D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zamorl:
My dear GOD!!!

i dont know why you these guys are so expect the mango!

as Yuki`s words ,yes, it`s just a sys update indeed...

but for me, for these people, who lives on the se of asia, called:"CHINA"...

we just need CHINESE in the rom, for the language, for the input... for everything & everything.

if nodo can do it. I means nodo have my native

language input..

mango is xxxxxxx nothing!!!:mad:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TIGGAH:
I love gibberish rage!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] YukiXDA:
I'm expecting mango too lol for any reasons. But what I say is that mango updating isn't a problem since we'll have roms from porting sys ONLY if there isn't any conflict with actual specific drivers for HD2.

I undersand your problem, as I've seen one some china topics, DFT or some had achieved to have china keyboard in their build. Mango specific? I don't know. If you search and procure me some knowledge/links etc. I can try to incorporate it.

My signal is fairly poor compared to previous ROMs. Could a change of radio possibly improve this? If so, is there a list of compatible radios?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Murdhie:
Can I flash 2.15 radio with this build?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samson291:
You can but most people say it eats the battery a lot on 2.15
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Murdhie:
Thanks for your reply.

I've just flashed it - Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 - and the signal is better. Battery was poor anyway so I will use this for a while. Do you have any recommendations for a Radio?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] orangekid:
For WP7 the best two seem to be 2.15.50 and 2.12.50
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samson291:
2.14.50.04 has been great for me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
go check out the yukixda thread in this forum instead of asking specifics about the rom. i'm certain most, if not all, of your questions will be answered.

as for camera bug fixes, from what i've read it is HIGHLY doubtful the dft nodo release will fix driver level issues....it's been said over and over...in various threads that the hd2 had difficulties with some of the wp7 drivers...the camera for example. no way to fix driver issues without direct hardware manufacturer's (htc's) support for the hd2 running wp7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] :
It's the question I ask me: anybody knows if DFT had build them by themselves and so if we have a chance to have updated ones or if (for exemple) it's HTC test for WP7 before thez have done the rest on a HD7 later (when it was constructed^^) and so we can cry a lot lol
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TonyCubed:
Right, just because someone flashed NoDo doesn't mean they are better than DFT, NoDo has been delayed by the DFT because MAGLDR needed to be re-built and improved, DFT/Cotulla have said this for a few weeks now, and I cannot stress that there is a reason for it either. As far as I'm aware, while we can put NoDo on our device, Market place etc don't work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Dad57:
works perfectly for me

half the battery til 8 am surfing all day long ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Murdhie:
For WP7 the best two seem to be 2.15.50 and 2.12.50

Cheers guys. I will try out the radios you mentioned. I am on 3 in the UK, does this have a bearing on the radio I should use?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] antaed:
I don't think this is a matter of who's better than who but the reality is that NoDo was brought to us by somebody else than DFT. It was long thought that only DFT can make this happen but it proved to be wrong. Maybe DFT prepares something spectacular (an improved MAGLDR, Mango perhaps?) but until then we can enjoy NoDo on our HD2s.

Oh, and you are wrong about marketplace. Everything that works on the previous 7004 builds also works on the NoDo build. Yes, the main issues still persist (camera, multitouch) but we have some improvements - copy/paste, a snappier experience in general, faster downloads from Marketplace... to say just what I noticed so far.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Murdhie:
Market place etc does work. Just saying.

Don't listen to peeps saying DFT are second best. They're probably twelve years old and terribly excited that nodo is available after a long wait. Kudos to anyone that can give us something nice.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zamorl:
thanks yuki, you`re far too kind for us!

DFT found nodo`s working on LEO, you extended it to us!

and we`ll expect you give us another surprise!!! ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TonyCubed:
Yeah I'm aware Marketplace works, someone forgot to update the readme file with this build and it said that marketplace wasn't work, I apologise. I've installed it and it's running great but I'm curious as to why it's been held back by DFT, DFT aren't stupid either. :/

[Samsung Infuse 4G] menzoom:
I connected my brandy new infuse 4G monster phone to my PC (Windows 7 - 64 bit OS) and saw the three choices for the phone in USB mode: Kies (Firmware Update); Media Player; Mass Storage. My curiosity got the best of me and I discovered that Kies was an app that would make my Phone friendly with Windows and Outlook and Media players. Yay. :D

So the hunt began, apparently this is a hard to find program, I finally downloaded a version (2.0.0.11044_11) Installed, rebooted, started the program, connected the phone and got this message from Kies: This device is not supported by Kies 2.0 Make sure that your device is supported and try again. :(

Now what? Is there a new version that I don't about? Are there drivers that I need? Do I need to be out of the U.S. How do I get this to work please. :confused:

I have not rooted my phone yet, not really sure I want to or need to, so let me know if that's a consideration. thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trdsnow:
I just went through 45 minutes looking for the same info. lol. This is my first Samsung phone but NOT my first android. What the heck is KIES for anyways? Is it suppsoe to be like itunes?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well it was and so much more but then they decided it wasnt for america, i think something to do with samsung apps or something so they came out with kies mini for the captivate and others but all kies mini does is firmware updates that they dont want to push over the air. and it doesnt run on linux or mac so many users need to borrow a friends pc to get firmware updates

kies full which you can download from the samsung site in europe can edit your contacts and do other functions that i cant remember atm. it can also sideload apps whick likely pissed att off, but now they are changing there tune because they can never regulat the android market so they unknown sources being disabled doesnt help them regulate the phone in anyway useful

the i997 kies version is not available last i looked. the i9000 version in europe may eventually work and that's the one to get. but i have done without it and really hate mtp anyway. id rather drag and drop media into the sdcard.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rldowney:
did they ever kies to work under windows 7 64bit?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DeRock13:
Kies Mini works on 7 64-bit for me. New Infuse shows up as unrecognized under the firmware version. When I had my Captivate (broken LCD :mad:), it worked fine on Win7.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] menzoom:
Sounds like it might be a pointless app. So I should I just keep my eyes open for the i997 or i9000 version? Now if only there were a link I could check in with periodically.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
you can get the i9000 version by searching google, make sure you get directed to a site that is for england or something, maybe canada as they have the i9000m. it may work.

for the att i997 version you would simply go to samsungs website and look for support downloads for this model phone. it might be listed under firmware or something. im not on windows so it doesnt do me any good anyways.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
i tried kies out, just to see what it would do. i got the same error about it not being supported. but what i find funny, is the phone gives you "kies" as the first option when you plug it in.

Try and find the app 'kies air'. I have it through the infused rom, but I'm pretty sure you can still get it. It Makes it so you can delete and add files through your web browser on your pc.

I have been thinking that it would be possible to get flash on the LG Optimus V by using an emulator of some sort like qemu or some other or mabey even built into a rom. Basically it would just have to emulate an armv7 processor on the armv6 processor or mabey even porting a Rom with support for flash to the OV. I know that it may be slow but still... I don't have any android programming know how so I can't do it... but if someone wants to make one or at least try to that would be awesome!! I just thought that I would put my thoughts out there for the whole world to hear. If anyone thinks this is even.remotely plausible then say so. I'll be looking toward to see if anyone can do it! Good Luck!
