i don't mean to start an argument, but there is some evidence to support the claims in this thread.

here is an entire thread about an earlier discussion from 2009-2010:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595655

post 222 from above mentioned thread is of particular interest (see the attached photo in that post):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6306382&postcount=222

i remember that thread because post 222 occurred roughly around the time when i was about to buy my HD2...so i was doing a lot of research at that time here on xda...and that post told me which screen to avoid...and i eventually did avoid getting the faulty screen type. so since i got it in may 2010, no screen issues here...yet! (fingers crossed!)

additionally, a cousin recently brought a used TMOUS HD2...and the screen on that unit was even more different! i couldn't see ANY dots on it...and its colors are quite a bit more vibrant also.

so perhaps there are THREE kinds of LCD+digitizer units.

finally, there are DEFINITELY at least TWO kinds of LCDs for the HD2 (Sharp and AUO), as evidenced by this thread:

[HD2 General] orangekid:
Ya but there's no new and old. Hell the sensation has like 4 different screen companies ..
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
Yeah manufacturers often procure components from several providers to meet demand and for other reasons. Back in early 2010 (shortly after the HD2 was launched), there were many complaints of faulty touch screens. Even a software patch was issued for the then official WM6.5 to address screen digitizer issues. Some users reported HTC repairs installed that patch on their units after they sent it in for touch screen issues. The patch had mixed results. And then HTC eventually simply started swapping out the screens under warranty. People who brought new HD2s after Q2 2010 largely reported screens with "more dots" with some corelation to the units' manufacturing dates.

So it seems MAYBE HTC stopped using a particular provider in Q1-Q2 2010, hence the notion of old n new.

I cant say i recall reading any official proof about this but manufacturers are known to often do "revisions" of already launched products...so its not really such a far fetched a notion i guess.
[HD2 General] estugarda:
My HTC HD2 has those denser dots on the screen. The screen works well. No bugs. It's snappy. Wakes up instantly. The CPU doesn't overheat. But I do have the red reset button.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it eats up battery. No evidence of drain. It just doesn't go over one day of moderate to heavy use, and 36hrs of light use. I tried all radios and tweaks. Since some people report 2-3 days of use, could it be due to some newer model version?

Just recently I noticed some battery improvements with HD2O ROM and 2.15.50 radio.

The interesting thing is that my device was recently purchased from T-mobile. Few weeks ago.
[HD2 General] kairahuu:
Actually its not rubbish

if you google htc hd2 screen not working, you will find that literally thousands of people have the same issue, i have had to replace my phone once due to this issue, but my mother who has the same phone just for a month less time, she is on her original, it seems to be dependant on randomness and how much you use your phone, mine is on 24/7 and for the record, it only costs 5 dollars to replace your phone, and since most ppl have android on SD they wont get warranty breaking issues, like mine, i had a diff os version, yet they were only looking at hardware to see what the problem was. and when my new phone, with crappy ol wm 6.5 came back, for whatever reason my american android cyanogen mod 7 version of droid worked without me even needing to get hardspl and all that jazz

food for thought.
[HD2 General] rauschkugl:
my phone is from 2009 when the hd2 was released and i had never problems with the screen. it works perfectly for almost 2 years now. people with the sharp panels also have problems sometimes. i don't think that this is something that has to do with the panel manufacturer.

if your screen doesn't work properly try to send it to warranty and get it replaced.
[HD2 General] GeoMil:
My HD2 was fine, no issues at all.... until the touch screen just stopped responding, over nght pretty much.

I am having massive issues with HTC over the warranty claim as I bought it off eBay in the UK and now live in NZ.

Basically unless I had a receipt with a serial number on it they wouldn't honor the warranty. I managed to get the to agree to me paying shipping and a $50 handling fee and I could send it to HK for repair. (where it is now).

It's bullsh*t if you ask me; if they are trying to compete with Apple they need to learn a thing or two about service. (Apple has replaced many items for me and friends - no questions asked - easy).

Is there a new HD2? Yeah, its called the Desire HD and HD7.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
lol, the HD7 is the exact same thing as an HD2 without the ability to run Android or WM6.5
[HD2 General] paleozord:
I have long wondered about this "old and newer" version issue, and have followed this thread with some interest. My Telstra (Australian) HD2 works pretty much fine with no gigantic glaring touchscreen or crashing issues, but I do notice one thing.

About one or two in every 100 touches on the screen are just completely ignored and do not register at all. This is most noticeable when typing on the keyboard, since every here and there words will just be missing certain letters as the keypresses weren't registered. What I'm wondering is, does this indicate an older or faulty digitizer/screen version and mean replacement is necessary, or is that type of relatively infrequent occurrence considered "normal" for even properly functioning HD2's?

I have got WidgetLocker today..Now how to change the icon's (Lock icon Look and other's) and if we add a Widget to it how to remove it?

Thanks in advance and if I posted in wrong place sorry

right now it looks like this.I don't like this look how to change it?you can see pic Below
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vrekeno:
You have to actually launch WidgetLocker from the shortcut added in you App Drawer.

From there, you can edit the lockscreen to your convenience.

Long-click on a slider will allow you to (re)move it.

Right-click on an empty region of the screen will allow you to add widgets, shortcuts, sliders...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
A very fair review.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheMan42:
lol, complaining about HSPA+ not being everywhere, hmmmmmm
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ZeroIsntTheHero:
This seems to be a pretty honest assessment of the Infuse. I would agree that the speeds that AT&T offers leave you wanting, but that's nothing to fault the Infuse for. The speeds are actually quite decent though for pretty much everything I've done with my phone though. Obviously when I compare them against Verizon's LTE they are kind of pathetic when you look at the speed tests, but nothing can be done about that.

Not launching with Gingerbread was a let down as well and the fact that somehow AT&T is going to take about 4 months to release it is an even larger one. It should have come with more RAM as well and a dual core would have been nice.

One major improvement over previous Galaxy S devices though is the gps. I've seen a vast improvement in the quality of the gps. I know most will say that it still isn't in the leagues of other phones like the Atrix and such, but I haven't had any problems whatsoever out of it and it tends to lock on quickly everytime.

All in all though, I can't complain about it. It's a great phone and I don't really feel like I'm lacking anything when I use it. I know that development is still in the early stages, but as long as things stay on track I can definitely see this being an amazing device.

(Thanks to all the devs for continually making this device better)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Nice done review OP except you're pretty much preaching to the choir here. :)

Personally I think the GPS is the absolute WORST feature of this phone. I've had 2 of them and on both the GPS is piss poor no matter what I did to it (mods, hacks). Maybe because I am comparing it to my previous iPhone 4 or my previous HTC android devices which were flawless with the GPS compared with this.

Wait, you said "IMPROVED OVER PREVIOUS GALAXY S DEVICES." Sorry, missed that. They must have been really bad.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] blaker13:
This phone sucks stock, its a little more reliable after flashing 2.0.2, I'm sorry that samsung thinks this is is acceptable for a public release, they will really have to step up allot if they don't want apple to crush them.... Not everyone wants to or knows how to mod there phone everyday so that it can work as a phone, and actually use the compass and gps, and maybe not freeze or crash...or......ect
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Corvette Dave:
All you ever do is complain!

I have had a lot off Android Phones going back to the G1. In my opinion the Infuse stock beats most out there.

If your phone is having that many problems try exchanging it. You might have a defective unit.

Have a great day!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Emandab1:
Nice review.

ATT's 4G even when it runs at full-speed it is not really 4G. And it is just HSPA unless you have an upgraded tower near you. Though ATT refuses to release the location of these upgraded HSPA towers. Being a Cappy can run HSPA if you have a custom ROM, ATT's 4G is really BS.

You don't mention the feel of the Infuse. The battery cover is hard to deal with and I'm worried I'm going to break it. Being I have to open it whenever I soft-brick my phone I open it a lot.

I upgraded from the Captivate which had a great battery cover mechanism. Not sure why they didn't stay with it. And the Cappy felt great. The Infuse feels like, well like a phone.

As much as I liked my Cappy, I'm sticking with my Infuse. Now running Infused 2.x GB ROM and is zippy. While I don't like the feel of the Infuse, I skin my phones (secret code or I drop my phones a lot) so I the feel doesn't matter that much.

Only thing I wish is that I had a longer thumb. Hard to hit the far corners of that monster screen. I'm sure they'll be an XDA thread posted soon on how to get a bigger thumb :)

Any help is appreciated, I'm out of ideas.
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
1. Does your phone say "unlocked" in the upper left hand corner of the black screen with the red "M" on it?

2. Does the circle around the "M" pulsate at all (in other words - does it show the boot animation?)

3. When you say that the screen blinks, would it be safe to say that it is actually rebooting, getting the same spot, and rebooting again?

4. What recovery mod are you using?

The answers to those questions will greatly assist in finding a solution to your problem. My guess would be that you are in a boot loop, which is not a brick. Boot up the phone while holding the volume down button. When you see the word "Fastboot", hit volume down until you see "Android Recovery", then hit the volume up buton.

Wipe Data

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik

Reboot the same way and get into Android Recovery.

Install Zip from SD Card

Choose Zip

Point recovery to the ROM of your choice

Install it

Reboot

Win

You probably just didn't wipe data, cache, and dalvik before installing the ROM, and got yourself into a boot loop because of it.

[Atrix 4G General] smashcz:
thanks for reply,

1. yes it says unlocked

2. it doesn't pulsate, no animation, screen just go blank for 2 sec, then back to M logo

3. not rebooting

4. not sure?

when i hold volume down I can access the menu..

when i click "android recovery" it shows green android robot with exclamation mark in triangle.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
It sounds like you have the stock recovery,

Try romracer's recovery here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
You need to reinstall RomRacer's recovery from the link provided in the response above this one.

There is a step in installing a new recovery that is often not followed, and that is manually removing the file...

/system/etc/install_recovery.sh

A quick look at RomRacer's thread shows that he didn't include this step in the install process of the recovery.

Basically, if you don't remove that file, when you boot up your android, it is going to flash the stock recovery over the recovery you have installed. For the time being... follow the instructions on RomRacer's thread to install his recovery, then boot the phone into that recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, reboot into recovery again and install the ROM of your choice.

This should break your boot loop and let you get into the phone. Luckily for you, most ROMs (all of them I believe) have the /system/etc/install_recovery.sh removed from them, so you don't have to worry about removing it yourself (unless you flash back to a stock ROM).

Good luck, let us know what happens.

Thanks so much for the replies.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
You need to download moto-fastboot to your PC. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138092). Extract the moto-fastboot zip to the root of your C drive. (C:\moto-fastboot).

Download the recovery file you need from the thread. The file you need is not the zip file. You need the .img file. Download one of the following if you are AT&T:

AT&T USERS

Orange 4.0.1.4-atrix2 / ZIP version.

MD5 e34ae84c5e653781cc7fa45d4e3886d5 / f1e732ee8876b7805a4d1073fd4370b1

If you are not AT&T, download the relevant International file, etc.

Place the image file in your moto-fastboot folder.

Open a cmd prompt on your PC ( Start - Run - cmd - Enter).

Reboot your phone, and press volume down button. When you see Fastboot on the screen, press volume up button. Connect Phone to PC via USB.

Type the following at the command prompt (see this thread again http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204500):

cd C:\moto-fastboot

moto-fastboot devices (You should see your device number. This is just a check to make sure your phone is being seen)

moto-fastboot erase recovery

moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix2.img

moto-fastboot reboot

You should now be able to boot into recovery.

[Atrix 4G General] xscottishx27:
Make sure you're specifying the correct path.

Wherever you placed moto-fastboot, make sure you're placing that in first.

Ex: If you placed it in C,

cd C:\

cd C:\moto-fastboot

moto-fastboot devices

If you're still seeing an unrecognized command, make sure you don't have any spaces or extra characters in whatever you named it.

Once you see your device is recognized, follow what CaelanT has said.
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
I'm a bit confused now...

Your original post says that you followed instructions found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202883

That means you've used fastboot to unlock the device and you've used fastboot to flash tenfar's recovery. Also.. that guide (as well as RomRacer's) both neglect to have you remove /system/etc/install_recovery.sh.

Anyway... go into the same directory you were in when you were following those instructions. That directory has fastboot in it. Put RomRacer's recovery in that folder, then follow romracer's instructions to install it.

After you have RomRacer's installed, boot into Android recovery and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, then flash a ROM. Done.

Thank you so much guys.

Now I have CherryBlur v1.4d.

If I want to install new ROMs, do I have to-

Wipe Data

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik ?

before and after?
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
Before you install a new ROM, always Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik. At times when you upgrade a ROM you need to do that as well - not always though. The Authors usually say when they release an update whether or not you need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik, so just look for it.

Now that you are running RomRacer's recovery, you can backup your phone. So before you try something new, its always good to backup since you can just restore later if you need to.

Enjoy the ROMs, there are a bunch of food ones available in the Dev section, and a pre-beta of CM7 in the general section.

Fastboot won't work >256MB. It will work with smaller, and if you use fastboot you should replace all moto-fastboot comands with just fastboot.
