Try hyperdroid on your hd2.

Keep the hd2 until the bootloader is unlocked and the problems (dust, screen wash out) are fixed. That's what I'm doing. If the above isn't done before a better phone is announced or released, I'll buy the sensation and probably at a cheaper price.

EDIT: ----> HyperDroid Link <----
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
Never mind. I wrangled a good deal on the phone with Tmobile and got two of them for $200 each with my grandfathered data rate.
[HTC Sensation] :
Yea? I already was promised the $200 a month ago when I changed my rate plan. I can't bring myself to buy one with its problems though. And unlike others who said "I'll wait for it to be unlocked", I actually stand by that. Others went right out and bought one.
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
It has to be better than my HD2. The phone speaker sucks for me since I am slightly deaf. I had to try many different roms or fixes to get the volume to be negligible. That or run Widows 6.5 which was NOT an option after first trying Android.

I even replaced the speaker with a kit from Ebay which helped a lot but I really want an Android based phone. I'm not a chef or anything and really keep it quite basic after I get my apps installed.

Also, my HD2 does get 4g but I want to see what the real 4g is like. Tethered with the HD2 I can get 4mb up and 156 down. I'm interested to see what the Sensation does.
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
I don't care if it unlocked at the moment. If it works and keeps working I'll be happy. I'm sick of loading roms on my phone and having issues with this or that. GPS doesn't work, intermittent gargle on calls, low volume sometimes, random reboots, etc. Sometimes I get so frustrated that I end up back in windows until I have time the next day to try a new rom.

I'm currently running CMYLXGO Blue Topia 1.1.17. It's nice but still has it's glitches. Battery life on this ROM is absolutely incredible though! 20 hours uptime and only down to 66%. It's a Sense rom with quite a few bloaty apps but so far I love it. I was a Coredroid fan before but this rom is better imho.
[HTC Sensation] :
I hear ya. I used that rom too. I get sick of swapping roms and would love to have the sensation. The dust and screen washing though, I can't handle that and I really want the root option, just in case. That way I don't have to wait for updates.
[HTC Sensation] ShinySideUpAZ:
my wife and I have been rocking two HD2s running CoreDroid for over a year. I loved my HD2s but the only time they will get used again is by the grandkids playing Angry Birds. The Sensation is great and the battery life is unreal.
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
I love my HD2 but it's getting slow and old. The battery cover looks like crap too. Over a year in my pocket with keys has left it's toll but no screen scratches! I thought about polishing the battery cover or replacing it but the sensation is too sexy. I hope the glass on the Sensation is as durable as the HD2.

OH and heard somewhere a year or so ago that the reason the HD2 is so scratch resistant is that the glass was sapphire coated. Is this true?
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
I tired Android on the HD2 as soon as it was possible but it had too many quirks and I needed the phone to work.

I upgraded to the Sensation and am not sorry one bit. Granted WM6.1 vs Android 2.3 but the internals and hardware are really nice, the touch screen is really responsive and the phone feels much smaller to hold. Not that the HD2 was large but its more comfortable.

If its what you want and your ready to upgrade go for it, I'm glad I did. Mine has no problems that I know of yet. granted this is my first real Android experience...
[HTC Sensation] :
The hd2 screen will scratch. I have a few friends who's scratched. But the sensation seems to have a strong screen. My friend had one about a week ago and one of the first things I did was try using my sharp keys on it. I also sat it face down and slid it across the table. It didn't scratch one bit.
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
I loved android on my HD2. I flashed android roms to it back before nand and it was still better than Winmo 6. I havent tried winmo 7 but I can't imagine it compares to android.
[HTC Sensation] jreed3786:
This is because the Sensation uses Gorilla Glass...amazing stuff. Came in my old Vibrant, not a single scratch in over a year...The Sensation rocks, even without root! It can only get better!

:D
[HTC Sensation] freakaccident:
I have read it has the Gorilla Glass. Not sure if that is true or not but I will find out. I don't like cases or screen protectors and just dump my phone in my pocket or toss it on the passenger car seat. I am not gentle with phones and the HD2 was a brute.

Cases, like the Otterbox, totally ruin the form of the phone and screen protectors never look right and they reduce response IMHO. I tried a rubberized case and a screen protector on my HD2 when I first bought it and hate them both.

The case was bulky and fumbly. Is that a word? I dropped it a lot with that case because it was too fumbly. It didn't slide into my pocket well and was just fat and clunky like a mid 70s American sedan.

The screen protector was a Zagg. It was horrible. It was like a phone condom without the lube. Pain in the ass to install in the moment and then you had to deal with lack of sensitivity. When it got warm in the car or in your pocket it shrunk and then when it got cool it expanded and left the edges to lift up. POS imho.

That is when I decided to go naked with the HD2. I went a year with no covers or screen protectors and I dropped it a few times. I dented the plastic trim a few times but no scratches on the screen. The metal battery cover's paint has been scratched a lot though.

The HD2 is one tough mofo of a phone! I hope the Sensation is the same. I am concerned that the back of the phone is too plastic like. I haven't held one yet so I'm not sure. If there is plastic on the back then I hope it is durable. It would be nice if HTC would make a phone that is entirely metal except for the screen. Make it powder coated aluminum all around and call it a day.

EDIT - Any suggestions on what to with my two HD2 phones now?
[HTC Sensation] :
The sensation feels great and the back feels better than I thought it would. I also like the fact that the battery cover is its housing. If it's dropped and dented, replacing just the cover would be pretty easy and make it look unharmed I think.

EDIT: Keep one for a backup and sell the other on craigslist. I had 2 and sold one already.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I hate when people who

DON'T HAVE THE PHONE

make generalizations about "issues" I personally own 2 Sensations and I have 6 friends with the Sensation so I have been around at least 8 of them bought at various locations and NONE OF THEM have dust on the screen or washed out looking displays. It's also extremely funny the amount of people comparing the HD2 to the Sensation? Really? I have an HD2 running android and other than the sceen size there is no comparison!!! The HD2 isn't even better than my MT4G running CM7!!! seriously if you still use the HD2 as a daily driver you should probably jump off a bridge because you are using a dinosaur.... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Trust me, that grandfathered data plan will soon not work if it's not an "Android approved" data plan.

I've used my HD2 running WM6.5 up until the day I got the Sensation & I am definitely not a dinosaur. Stop being an asshole. The HD2 is a solid phone & if it works & does what someone wants it to, then it rocks.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Used NAND builds on my HD2 forever, and the entire time all I wanted my HD2 to grow up to be like is the Sensation. Like I've said before, the Sensation is what HTC should have made the HD2 like all along. The Sensation is the phone of phones right now. You will be 110% happy with it.
[HTC Sensation] :
I HATE WHEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU TRY TO START ARGUMENTS!

Seriously dude. There's always people like you trying to flame somebody else. The problems I'm going by are what's mentioned here. And I never once "compared the hd2 to the sensation.

People like you are the reason xda is starting to suck, seriously. :(

EDIT: Here you go killer. Flame all these people, they actually own the device.

Dust thread.

Washed out screen thread.

I bet you HATE them too huh? If you ain't having problems, they must be lying!!!!! HOW DARE THEY!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
My point is you are less likely to have a Sensation with issues. It is not as wide spread as these threads lead you to believe. People who don't own the device read these threads and become afraid to purchase the phone because of the fear of ended up with a dud of a device when that is not the case. As for the comparison to the HD2 its in the title "Upgrade to Sensation or stick with HD2?" any high end htc android device produced after March 2010 is better than the HD2 period. As I said before I have an HD2 as well as 5 other android devices and the HD2 finishes last in whatever comparision you attempt to make other than screen size...I wasn't attempting to FLAME anyone just venting. sick of all the people bashing the Sensation with silly comparisons to other devices and complaints about issues that affect a minority of the the Sensation owners... and the "people like me" comment is hilarious :D xda is beginning to suck because more and more noobs are joining the site and creating pointless threads asking questions that a little common sense would cure :D anyway, enjoy your HD2 or whatever device you choose to purchase HAVE AN AWESOME TUESDAY :D
[HTC Sensation] HondaMike:
I've had the HD2 since it came out was running Gingerbread on it. Now I just got the Sensation and I love it. This phone is way better then the HD2 with out a doubt.

So it worked out for me.

My previous phone was a Droid and I would always mount it on my windshield with the Motorola brand mount. So I grew tired of having my Play just sitting in the cup holder or on the seat and did some work.

I cut up the piece that my Droid phone docked on to

front piece that came from the ebay case for the XP on the left

rear pic of the phone dock part already stuck to the rear piece of the ebay case

a front shot of the Rear ebay piece and the arm of the Motorola Car Mount

Mitch alltogether

I used "Contact Stik" Heavy Duty adhesive strips from Home Depot to mount the dock that I cut up to the rear case. Feels really sturdy already, I'm sure once it sets more it will only come off with excessive force. I shook the phone around with it mounted to the arm and it didn't fall out, so everything's good so far.

About the case not being easily removable from the phone: I sanded the small tabs that clip on to the phone so it's easier to remove, if you do this make sure you don't sand too much or the case will no longer clip on to the phone causing the case to come off easily, or if you mount it like I did the phone to fall out of the case.

So to summerize, I used

Ebay Case

Motorola Car Mount for Droid

a small hacksaw

and some heavy duty adhesive

Now to see how the adhesive holds up against 100 degree Texas heat tomorrow. Will post results.

PS: the droid mount has a tiny magnet in it that you may want to remove if you do this, it's behind the loose door of the dock. The magnet activates the car mode in the droid, I took it out because I don't want to run the risk of the magnet messing up my XP.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Duramajin:
Nice work,

I found this http://www.sonyxperiaplayaccessories.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-vent-mount-oem-14013.html

but it is for air vents not windscreens.
[Xperia Play Accessories] bigsky2:
Nice mod!

I've never had the need to mount my phone to the car. May I ask what benefit this is to you?

I think it would be good for GPS and calling.
[Xperia Play Accessories] typikal82:
I like not having my phone rolling around while driving, great for when I'm using navigation because it's in my view while driving, also I listen to music and podcast apps A LOT and it's easier to reach out in front of me than fumbling with my phone in the cup holder. Just basic convenience :D

On a "doh!" note, I sanded a little too much of the clip and the phone fell off while I was driving on a rough road, lol. I ordered another $5 case and will try not to sand so much of the clipping part this time around, or maybe not sand it at all. I checked in on it during lunch and the adhesive has held up to the heat. So I'll just have to replace the case and use another strip of adhesive. Oh well.
[Xperia Play Accessories] uccoffee:
very nice car dock!

I m just using the DK300 media dock as the car dock :D

the only down side is the screen lock itself after a phone call, and unlock during portrait is hard. cos there's no landscape lockscreen unless I slide open the joypad.
[Xperia Play Accessories] adampsyreal:
Nicely Done

You should mass produce this.
[Xperia Play Accessories] capncark:
not to dig up an old thread but something like this:

http://www.cellphoneshop.net/playholster.html might have a little more gentle release to it. Just cut the swivel clip off and away you go. I think I'm gonna try it!:)
[Xperia Play Accessories] TheCraig:
I attached a lot of Blue Tack to the bottom of the dock, Works perfect, Does not fall out either.

[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
When yo ugo into recovery mode what color is all the lettering on the screen?

Secondly after flashing CWR did you fully boot the device up before trying to flash a kernel? If so that is your problem. Reason being is if you DO NOT flash a kernel right after flashing CWR before boot the device the recovery image gets overwritten. You MUST install a custom kernel right after flashing CWR before fully booting the device up the first time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dspolen:
He's right. You have to flash the kernel and rom before you boot. If your recovery is yellow your good to go. If its blue then your flashing the recovery correctly. Redownload the recovery file and try again.

hey thx works now, comes down to the first reboot. they should add that to the guide.

[EVO 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
I'm buying my dad an evo and I have a few questions

1)Will its battery last from 6am to 12pm with heavy calling and virtually no txts and internet use?

2) what would be good under volt settings for this phone?

thx
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
1. Yes. Six hours is fine even with really heavy usage (though every phone is different and I'm sure somebody has some horror story to refute me). Just tell him how to turn the radios off that he's not using. For me, I never use Bluetooth, rarely use WiFi, and when I do, they can be toggled on. Don't turn on 4G if you're not in a 4G area, that radio kills the battery. Just don't leave them on if you're not using them, let them be more "on demand". Rooting and getting a tweaked ROM/kernel will also help. I suggest VaelPak 3.2 with Netarchy, or better yet, Vaelpak GB with SavagedZen. See my sig for a link if you're interested.

2. Most people are good with -75mV, some can go higher (100 to 125 in one or two cases) but -75 seems to be the consensus. In addition, you can set different min/max CPU speeds (this is a native option in the latest VP GB beta). That way, the CPU will scale its speed based on usage. Most people go somewhere around 245mHz min to 998mHz max, or you can overclock a bit, or you can underclock so the max is only in the 500-600s. It actually doesn't make a noticeable difference in performance for some people, unless you're gaming and then you can bump it up again anyway.

LOTS of stuff to play around with to get the best battery vs. performance balance.

[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
No it does not BRO.
[EVO 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
He wrote 6 hours

My dads not the type to return a thing especially if I give it to him.

Even if it hassles him like crazy he'll treasure the phone.

I'm getting him this phone because I want to make his life easier so the 30 day return thing won't really work for me.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
So how many hours it talk time and stand by time?

He might need an iPhone or a BB.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
18 HOURS is asking a lot from a smart phone. It's not possible with the batt tech atm.

If the talk time is low then maybe.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
No.

And as far as the phone lasting from 6 A.M. to 12 P.M. .... I believe it has about 6 hours of talk time (continuous). Take that for what it is, and given his situation. Can he not utilize a charger? Situation won't allow? As said, there are things that can be done to help 'manage' battery life, but that isn't going to yield some insane results. If he doesn't need data he could disable data, keep voice open, and see how that goes. I couldn't see that necessarily doubling the talk time. As mentioned, also, you can trial it for 30 days.

edit: slow on the draw

Maybe the Evo isn't right for him. Especially if you can't wrestle it from his old man grip for a return. Could a BB do?
[EVO 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
He doesn't like bb because of the small buttons

I think I might just buy him an extra battery car charger and then under volt it od

Just wandering if I can send my G2X back to LG for replacement and circumvent Tmobile all together? As most of you know, Tmobile sent me a Sensation for free and let me keep my G2X so I don't think there going to replace my G2X being they sent me a Sensation. What you guys think?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
Did you have to fight them to get a free sensation?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
Yes, you can. As a matter of fact my G2X is with LG right now (Actually their repair contractor Steller Wireless Technology) They have had mine for a week now, I should be getting it back either late this week or next. The one I sent them had really bad light bleeding. My other one (that I sold for the sensation) had minimal screen bleed and zero other issues..
