i change my phone often right now i have the htc aria, i always buy them out of pocket so i dont renew my contract

however i am in IT and i have found out that the HD2 can have almost 5 OS on it

so its a must have tool for me, even though its bigger than my aria and i am quite aware of the digitizer failing but since i do tech stuff i will replace it

i just wish the hd7 could do the multiple OS

i plan to have wp7, android and ubuntu on the phone :)
[HD2 General] amatohd2:
You can get a used $175
[HD2 General] myview.ir:
I've watched some (more!) videos HD2 acting in them, I can't count them from last year :D One thing and only one thing that really disappointed me about my near to buy phone is 65K limitation of screen (or 256k?). New roms look terrible on this screen! I haven't noticed this until now but it's a huge banding effect anywhere with gradiants, which is visible anywhere now days.

If I forget this then it's my choice, certainly.

what you say? isn't it awful to look at such screen and run sense and miui with it (whole black gradiants!). huuuum :confused:
[HD2 General] sadikhov77:
I am using HD2 since May last year and I recently bought SGS for my wife. Once I put my hands on SGS, I tried to convince my wife to swap the phones. SGS definitely beats HD2 in all aspects if you are going to use android on HD2.

P.S. my wife did not agree to swap, so I am still hanging here :D
[HD2 General] xboxhaxorz:
is the problem with the actual screen or the digitzer?? i repair electronics so i can do it myself just wondering about cost since i found a used phone that has a touchscreen problem
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Got myself a used $100US HD2 t8585.

Best thing ever just finished repairing the volume buttons on both my one and the used one....

I love this phone PERIOD!!!!!

The used one will have WP7 on nand and android on sd card. My one has wm 6.5 and american android on sd card.

Probably will go android on both devices but wanna give wp7 mango a good burn-in..
[HD2 General] Sully.E:
I think if you wanna buy HD2 because of Android , then I will suggest you Galaxy S , you will not be able to install any other OS on SGS , but everyone knows that Galaxy s has one of the best Screen with Super AMOLED technology !

I myself have not compared the displays of SGS and HD2 side by side , but HD2 display isn't really bad , I don't have any problem with it ! I mean it's not as bad as you think ! :D:D
[HD2 General] meingutter:
you should buy an HD2:

- its not really expensive: ~200USD

- GPS is really good

- you can try multiple OS
[HD2 General] xboxhaxorz:
the screen on the galaxy is definitely better, however i want the hd2 since im a super techy nerd
[HD2 General] meingutter:
I've tried the galaxy and i do not see a big difference
[HD2 General] DannyBiker:
If you're planning to play around with all the OS it's fine.

If you'll end up running Android only, just buy an Android device.

[HD2 General] ferincr:
Hi guys I bought my HD2 a couple of years ago and I went through all the reading to flash new rom and radio but it died yesterday.

So I've been looking for a replacement and I feel like most of you. I can't find anything I like as much as I did my HD2.

So my question is...

Mine was the T9193 since my carrier uses the 850 3G band can I buy a T8585 and tunr it into the AT&T bands????

At the time was was a no, but I don't know if with all the development that is now a possibility.

It doesn't seem to be any T9193 on the market (at least not at a decent price)

Thanks,

You dont need adb to change your boot animation just use root explorer

Path= System-media-bootanimation

Just swap em round replace the one thats there for yours

Make sure the name is bootanimation to anything else wont work
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCmodder:
If you are still interested in using adb though, make sure that you have USB debugging enabled. I had the same problem in windows and linux with both operating systems not seeing my tablet with adb devices....Once I turned on USB debugging it caught it just fine.

This morning I stopped by my local VW store to see they had any accesories for the HTC rezound (they don't yet) and I found the Thunderbolt docks were discounted. $19.99 for the car and $39.99 for the desktop dock. On top of that I used my wifes work phone number (through verizon) to get an extra 25% off - that makes the car dock $14.99 and the desktop $29.99. No HDMI out on the desktop though.

The car dock is the one made by iGrip.

Keep in mind these were orignally priced at $29.99 and $59.99 each.
[HTC Sensation] npspears:
Works for sensation?

I'm guessing the Thunderbolt car dock and desktop dock works well with the sensation? How close is the fit?

I have the official thunderbolt dock, it works fine but the volume button can sometimes be pressed down if you're just jamming it in.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lodell101:
I have scoured the internet the last 3 days searching for a replacement stock ROM or any compatible custom ROM for my Aigo-Pad M801. I'm American but I'm living in China for the next year or so. I don't speak or read Chinese and I've tried going through the Chinese forums for the firmware but couldn't really decipher anything, even with Google translate. And especially not for my tablet.

Specifications Link

I rooted with z4 root and it appeared to work. I installed gapps but couldnt get my market to work out by changing the fingerprint so i wiped cache and media partition to get a clean start again. I DO NOT have clockworkmod. I was not able to get the free version through the chinese market and the only versions i could find from download sites were the ripped off paid version, which i didnt think would work.

Currently when i turn on the tablet it shows the initial bootscreen and never loads the boot animation or any kind of interface. I can access the android stock recovery interface (3e). I read the tablet was for the most part a rebranding of the Ainol Novo so I downloaded a ainol ROM from here . I renamed this update.zip and put it on the root of my SD. When i go to update from the sd card i get this error:

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted

I researched this error but everything I have found assumes i have clockworkmod recovery, which i dont. I have tried, tried, and tried again the option to factory reset but it doesnt seem to solve this stuck of bootscreen problem. The easiest solution seems to be to bypass signature checks or to flash my drive, but I dont know how to mount the internal memory or the sd card to my computer without access to the tablet. I can put things from my computer directly onto the sd card and then insert this into the tablet.

If ANYONE has ANY advice other than to give up please post.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lodell101:
obviously this was my first choice. but seeing as there are no obviously compatible roms half the point of posting this was to see if anyone out there had the stock chinese rom that came with the tablet or a custom rom compatable with my aigo model, because none of the 8 i have looked at in depth have a custom rom version for aigo branded products.

hey guys... could someone who is familiar with this ROM please tell me what the below statement means in the "my Changes" section of Mr.Garak's first post...

"- NOTE: snd3254 FOR DOLBY MOBILE/SRS INCLUDED BY DEFAULT NOW FROM MIUI."

i'm trying to improve the quality of audio output on my dHD by playing around with the snd3254 settings...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamsesVI:
It means the Dolby/srs script is included in the ROM so you don't have to add it manually after you flash a new(er) ROM version.

To enable Dolby or srs you will need to have a script manager installed (i.e. GScript lite) to execute the sound improvement script.

Skyrocket Screen comparison pictures

The OpenGL test is beautiful, and it was capping at the Vsync rate a fair amount of the time. Tons smoother than the Quadrant benchmark even though there was a huge amount more detail in the graphics. That convinces me even more that Quadrant is out of date. Unfortunately you can't get your actual results on that test without logging in to a website that didn't have a registration button, so I just skipped it for now.

So lets look at the screen display sizes and pixels. I don't have an OGS2 any more since I traded it for the Skyrocket, so for comparison I took pictures of my Captivate. (Ironically I took the captivate pictures with my Skyrocket since it was better than my old camera). The last picture was taken with my SLR camera.

One thing I saw right away was a difference if you use a downloaded font on the Skyrocket. They were crisper when seen from normal viewing distance it seemed like. Personally I'm quite happy with the screen anyway, but it did make a difference.

To my eye anyway, you can see some difference ... but only if you are so close up it's impractical. (For those of us with binocular vision anyway who read more than an inch away from the screen ... just sayin.)

Admittedly though there is some difference in vibrancy that I really can't reproduce by taking a picture with my limited equipment. I really only notice it when I switch from one phone to the other, or see them side by side.

First the Captivate. It's definitely crisp, and even the close up shot shows the very smooth letters.:

Similar picture of the Skyrocket:

Quadrant benchmarks

I have been very torn whether to take back my OGSGSII until I spent an

hour with the Skyrocket at the At&t store. It felt a bit laggy, the camera was

slower and the screen was definitely not as sharp. Text was fuzzy, the screen

did not seam as bright on the same settings and on lighter colored screens,

you could see the pixels. I am staying with my OGSGSII.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TechSilver13:
If we don't get dev support in the next week or so this thing will go back. It's for sure laggy I agree but I love the screen on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbze430:
then you probably will be taking it back. Without the source code there will be no dev support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tejones36:
People have been saying factory resets helped with the screen hitches. I know mine improved after removing the bloatware. For me full brightness is just too bright (on both devices) so I was usually using an Auto or 50% setting. Whether or not you like the screen is entirely subjective, and if you like the OSGS2, by all means, keep that one. (although at normal distance I'm certainly not seeing more pixellation).

I for one don't miss the Vlingo button lag!

The Quadrant scores (for me) have just been way too inconsistent for me to think it's reliable (1600 - 3500+). Here's screenshots of runs not long after you posted. (Scores at 3416, 3554, and 3710). Since it benches better than the OSGS2 scores you posted you wouldn't expect it to feel laggy. Actually this is the first time I've ran it since removing bloatware and it's faster than ever. Stock kernel and frequencies.

I'm not sure that's a realistic timeframe. Up to you, but I'd say factory reset and start removing bloatware obviously. Yeah, it's more work than flashing a ROM and have it all done for you, but to me it's part of the fun. At least I'm learning something instead of just knowing how to fire up Odin correctly. :)

We have CWM and root, so it's not like we can't properly use our phones for now. :) Even the OSGS2 took more than a week to get stable kernel's out the door and it had all the benefits of the international ROM's. But yeah, the OSGS2 will have more dev support no doubt. It's just a question of what's more important to you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TechSilver13:
I know all about how well this does on benchmarks, I have a post with about every app that benchmarks and the results. I have gotten rid of what I think is bloat and its helped for sure but it's still not as smooth as the original but I knew that before I bought it, I just don't know if I can deal with that lag long term... I'll figure it out in the next 20+ days. Fantastic device for sure and still head over heels better than the 4s I had for two weeks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tejones36:
My benchmark's were in reply to shootthis' post, not yours ..

I recall your posts. We get the same results, but for whatever reason you are getting some kind of lag and I don't. Are you referring to that screen hitch when scrolling between screens?

Regardless, at some point the lag went away for my device. It's completely smooth, not that the slight hitch ever bothered me before. That's one reason why I can't remember when it completely went away.

I referred to your post for part of what I froze with TiBu, but there were differences. About the only other thing I can think of is I'm using setCPU profiles, and my default is the ondemand scheduler. I'm wondering if auto-brightness impacted one of my benchmarks, but probably not.

No clue. Hopefully someone will figure it out soon so we can put this thing to rest.

11/9 Update

Updated first post with Passmark benchmarks.

Horrible network speeds today - yes, I know speedtest.net isn't definitive. The main reason I ran it was that just the listing of forum posts (here) took forever to load while I was at lunch today. This was actually a faster benchmark than the server located in the city I live in ... So the poor data speed shown here was in line with what I was seeing qualitatively.

CF-Bench results

CF-Bench benchmark is nicely consistent, unlike Quadrant. The only thing it lacks is graphics benchmarking. For graphics I'm inclined to use the Passmark beta unless someone has any suggestions.

I'm doing tests right now with a stock kernel and debloated ROM.

If someone has a stable OC'd kernel, I'd love to see some benchmarks from CF-Bench, Passmark, and/or Antutu. Just please post the screenshots of your runs!

Updated main post with CF-Bench on OC Kernel

Main post updated with OC benchmark results for CF-Bench @ 1.78 Ghz:

If you have some OC kernel benchmarks, please post, unless it's Quadrant scores. Quadrant doesn't work on this phone. Unless Quadrant is updated, it's pretty much useless, and people just freak out when they see low or highly variable scores.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
Current tweaks are pushing 6700 in Antutu, 8200 in CF-Bench and 51 fps in monjori. These are currently the only benchmarks I am validating the kernel against as they are very repeatable (all tests within margin of error) unlike Quadrant!

Those scores are at 1.809GHz OC, on my 0.4pre kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Well heres a quadrant test with your kernel g. Lol just for fun
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tejones36:
Thanks for pointing out Monjori. (No screenshots here since they just show the FPS after the test.)

All done with 0.4-pre with ondemand and performance scheduler:

Stock Freq, ondemand : 47 FPS

Stock Freq, performance : 51 FPS

1809 Mhz, ondemand, 48 FPS

1809 Mhz, performance, 51 FPS

This is a nice benchmark; it seems almost totally GPU driven so the CPU OC doesn't matter as much. It's a good matchup pair for CF-Bench and has repeatable results.

I'm going to have to go back and try to find the OpenGL benchmark I found a while back. While this is an intense shader test, there was a ton of polygons, textures, lighting, and so forth as well.

Battery Drain, Da_G's 0.4-pre

[Edit]

My problem was user error. I'd reset the battery stats incorrectly before (reset them at a high percentage, instead of prior to being fully drained.)

(Pictures deleted since they are irrelevant)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbze430:
For those of you that thinks you are using up battery excessively. Check your logcat for any excessive errors. This can cause battery drain as the system is constantly retrying.

use betterbatterystats from xda to check for any Wakelocks as well. I would say that 70-80% of battery drain issues is with apps or apps causing errors
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tejones36:
