get Galaxy Nexus.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
+1
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
I do planning to get a new one too... Will Optimus 2X or Sensation a good choice?
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3US911:
if u only got those two phones in mind go for Sensation!

@OP

if u can wait 1-2 months then u should go for Galaxy nexus.

or u can also buy Galaxy SII.
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
I must say wait and see between galaxy nexus and sgs2

the phone that will win get that one

the prototype galaxy nexus out their are not good(they can't even run flash player now)

@hon kin Get Sensation if possible then get sgs2

i heard that optimus 2x will not receive the ICS update
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
if you wanna stick with froyo for a while (or for ever) go for the LG :p honestly, i have tested it and it is a piece of shi :D

i wouldn't even go for the sgs2...i would wait for its successor ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] sabersylar:
Wait for Xperia Nozomi
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
lol by the time that comes out it is going to be competing with quad core phones....

that would be a stupid decision imo
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3US911:
Lg optimus 2x will be updated to ICS,company already disclosed that.

[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
If I were you I wouldn't even think about anything other than Nexus Prime or SGSII for now
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
But in his budget he can't get sgs2 and he can get optimus 2x in INR 25000

And sgs2 is like 28500 to 30000 price varies in different areas...
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
ok but I think it's worth to squeeze some extra cash from somewhere if he can to get a beast like sgs2
[XPERIA X10 General] hramos20:
I was thinking of changing my phone also, but why change to a dual core when at the begining of next year 2012 the Quad Core phones will be rolling out. Just hold on to your money and wait for the next gen of processors. My X10 is sufficient for my needs right now so I'll just wait.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
The thing is that there will always be something new and exciting on the horizon...
[XPERIA X10 General] josephnero:
dont buy Optimus2x.Lg is crap in updating service
[XPERIA X10 General] rtblittlebrown:
Don't buy a phone untilled you can buy a new phone shipped with ice cream sandwich
[XPERIA X10 General] shahkam:
Xperia ray isn't a bad decision but I love the htc sensation xe if your not a sense fan you can always try the sgs2 if you really want something recent grab a galaxy nexus ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
I'm kinda biased toward O2X actually, because the price is relatively lower, plus the awesome tegra graphic, and it is MIUI and CM ready... but the RAM amount kinda puts me away from it... =/ is 512MB enough?
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
I'd say wait a month and a half and see Nozomi first :)
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
a month and a half?

It isn't even announced yet lol

So maybe a month and a half to be announced but then probably 4 months (at least) until release..
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
U know he always have the inside info lol:D
[XPERIA X10 General] AX10i:
If I were you, I'd go or for an Arc S or for the SGS II. (Probably an Arc S for it's camera)

But only you know what are your needs and what you appreciate most on a smartphone...

May be a Nokia with Windows phone 7 :D

EDIT: I am also waiting for that...:D
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
LOL

It's always been a game of waiting, just buy the phone when you need it...there's no point and no way that you can catch up with technology...

Imagine at 2013(If the world will not blow up) we will have even higher spec phones...
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:

We have an institution here in Germany which tests and compares all kind of products and the sgs2 made place 1!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sagarc88:
I cant seem to completely restore apps after flashing a new ROM. I will put in my password at first boot and I select Restore. It starts restore and then after one or 2 installation, it starts throwing errors saying there isn't enough space on the card. I know one solution is to clear the market data and then it installs fine. However, Once the app restore errors out, there is no way to start it again. So, Is there any way this is possible? I cant install any new ROMs since my apps wont install :( . It used to work just fine!

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It is an issue with the size of the market cache. If you are simultaneously downloading too many large programs you are destined to get the "out of memory" error. I have had this on every Android phone I have owned and there is no way to get around it. Limit downloads to two or three at a time max and you should be okay. Yes once the market bombs out on restoring your apps, it is gone. But what I do is log into the Android Market on my web browser and you can see all the apps you have ever downloaded to any device under your account settings. You can then request the app download and install from the web. Just make sure your phone is on and connected to Google data. If it is not, Google will install the apps the next time your phone is logged into their servers.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
Hi all.

I've just got as a present this tablet.

I would like to know why is it so slow? I mean sliding between home screen is laggy like hell.

Is there a fix for it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuborg68:
Do you use live backgrounds like the one with the water level as battery indicator? I find those causing laggy screen transitions. Using a standard background makes the transitions much smother on my TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
no I dont use it actually
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Which version are you on? (post info from about tablet)

Never had lags...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] las5muertas:
Never had lags using stock...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
I do have some widgets but I'm surprised it effects so much on the smoothness transition between home screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Sould probably post what's written in Settings->About Tablet->Build Number and the first 3 of your S/N (on sticker right of charging port on tablet). Mine is a B50.

I've never had issues with lags except in a few rare cases when I've used my tablet excessively for a couple weeks straight; all of which would go away after a awhile when stale memory got reaped or I opted to just reboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorin33:
Never had lag on stock and definitely no lag using Prime.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason07:
There are a number of apps that are known to cause mega screen transition lag. A few that come to mind are WizzBar, HideBar and some of the torrent apps if they're downloading, and as someone already said lots of the live wallpapers can do this. Which new apps have you installed since you got the tablet?

Upgrading to a custom ROM (see the Development and Hacking section for Transformer) can significantly speed up the device, but you may not be wanting to play around with that sort of stuff if you're not familiar with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaros_Kill:
Are you using the tablet in portrait mode? Its a known issue for all honeycomb tablets that there is a lag in portrait. Does kinda suck but im always in landscape anyway
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
What would your opinions best be for governors you use for 1. Battery 2. Performance 3. Combination of both

Also do you use sio or hoop?

I personally use smartassv2, smartass, and/or conservative....but which one has best battery options, maybe interactivex
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Altamash sayyed:
I use interactivex
[Optimus One, P500, V General] storm11:
interactivex = best battery

minmax = best performance

im using lightassv2 on venice v4.0 :D lets c how it is :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Drsideways:
interactivex:cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Yep interactiveX hands down.

For some reason Smartassv2 don't go to maximium freq. Example i put max to 729 put i only get 710mhz at most
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FPChaim:
The best is any governor that isn't conservative with: min- 480 max- (the max that your phone can handle, for me it's 729:():cool:

And the i/o sheduller: basically sio for multitasking and noop* to give priority in what you are doing;)

PS:i use paolo v6 touch kernel and everything works without any lag.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
for those of you using franco.kernel v1.1 (his .35 kernel), maybe this might be something of interest?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] johnxarma:
yeah interactivex for best battery;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Your absolutely right, when I used sonygenmod I used a .35 kernel with conservative governor and battery was better...but since most roms now use .32, I stick with interactivex

Has anyone have had Linux running on their

GT540's ??

I saw this app on the market called linux installer..

It required a 4GB sd card which i didn't have so

i couldn't try it.. :(

Just asking.. With linux running on the phone, could i do the same things

as running linux on the pc??

Not all the same but mostly or even somethings??

For e.g like developing roms or stuff like that!! ;)

Thanks!! ;)

I found that app but didn't know how to use it. any TUT's?

[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
yeah going to try it!! ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
I have tried it. Its a good start :) You can install it in 650 mb loop file. I installed lasts so long. About 1.5 hours. It boots up. You can install x11 and lxde then you have a gui with lxde. Then you have to install tightvncserver to see the gui :) If you want instructions i will right here step by step :)

Excuse me but what's the value of having linux on our phone?
[GT540 Optimus General] Sadronis:
First off all you have to install Linux Installer and Android VNC Viewer.

1)Then open up Linux Installer

2)It will ask for root permissions from you accept it.

3)Press menu button then select Setup.

4)Tick "Install in a block device" and "Use loop file"

5)Change the distribution if you want: Preferred distribution setting.

6)Chroot point can stay lile original. Loop file:/sdcard/Linux.loop

7)File Size:650(If you have more space in SD Card it will OK.)

8)Tick "Screen always on", "Allow write on /system".

9)Then press back button.

10)Tap "Create Target loop"

11)Tap "Mount target loop"

12)Tap "Format target loop"

13)Tap "Install in loop" This will take 1.5-2 hours so you should do this in a free time.

14)When it is done open up Terminal Emulator and type "linuxchroot".

15)Linux will boot up now then type "apt-get update"

16)Now we have to install lxde and tightvncserver :) Type "apt-get install lxde tightvncserver"

17)When it is done type "vncserver -geometry 480x320"

18)It will ask a password from you type it twice.

19)Open the VNC Viewer from app drawer

Then nickname: whatever you want

port:5901 and click connect!

Now we have LXDE gui :)

[HD2 General] myview.ir:
Hello.

I'm a computer student, a poor computer student! who can change his phone every 2 years! I earn money with hard student working. It's time to change now, I've a (crappy) LG Arena KM900 for 2 years and I cant really ignore this piece of wasted money anymore. Short story...

Is it reasonable to buy a HD2 for about 450 USD?! Here I can find used HD2 for $330 too but who cares, I can't trust other people (and their great used phone!).

---------

Another option is Galaxy S, I9000 with exactly 455 USD, no used one found. Now what you think? I can also have a Moto Milestone (used) for $290. Here we don't access to int postal & payment services so just forget amazon, ebay and...

- I've enjoyed changing my Arena theme with some geeky tricks! so HD2 with all of this roms and os selections...

- I'm afraid of HD2 production to be stopped and I miss my dreams phone! else I really don't care of new phones with 8 cpu cores or 12mp cameras!

- My current phone dpesn't have bluetooth PAN ability which is used for using phone internet connection on PC. does HD2 have this?

- I'm a fan of wp7, can I count on HD2 with this os? what about battery life?!

- is is reaaly so BIG that I can't put it in my jeans pocket?

Thanks you ;)
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Hello,

First of all,

-Yes, the HD2 does have bluetooth PAN.

-WP7 has some bugs on the HD2 which briefly are:

+*Multitouch does not work properly.

+*Compass is not working with Mango (until now).

+*There seems to be a lot of people struggling with the battery life. (however I have not had that).

+*The speaker's sound is horrible.

-It's big when you are using it, and small when you are to put it into your pocket :D (it's not that big).

Also, you have to be aware of two things:

The HD2 has two major issues, one being the touchscreen, some devices lose their touchscreens after an amount of time.

The second thing is, the End button may wear off for frequent use or become too hard to press, and sometimes this may also cause the screen to become unresponsive.

(correct me if I'm wrong)

My opinion,

For a two years old device,

$450 can get you something better

. But if you can get it less, I'd definitely recommend getting one ;) .

But the HD2 is still the best for me, and I don't think I'm changing it, not at least for another year :D .
[HD2 General] Xeroday:
You can get a used HTC HD2 for ~$150 and ship it to wherever you live
[HD2 General] pappt:
Not so old, sir! It released 2009 november, so it's exactly 2 years old...
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
You are correct. However, I counted it as 2009 YOP and now we are almost 2012.
[HD2 General] Pollirox79:
More like $200.00 I STILL HAVE MINE EXACTLY 2YRS OLD :)
[HD2 General] myview.ir:
Thank you, very useful answer :)

So you say if I buy an unused device then take care of that then still I may have problems with screen & buttons? :confused:

Let's make it clear, I'm on my decide for HD2, it's about one whole year that I'm reading reviews and following software improvements... this topic is actually a try to forget all those fresh and stylish gadgets :D

But! if you think HD2 will disappoint me then which phone should I buy instead? to me SGS is also attractive, you know, because of it's roms & customizations + great hardware.

Should I forget HD2 because of it's old hardware and expensive price in my country? then I think it's better to wait and buy a NOW DAYS phone when I have enough money?! or you have a better offer...? :)

and you're still happy with this monster? :rolleyes:

if you were me then what? :D
[HD2 General] Cadilac:
Hey myview.ir ,

i bought my own HD2 5 days ago for 230 $ on Ebay.

It was declared as "nearly new without any scratches".

Windows Mobile gave out a compleate speaking time of 5 Minutes!

Go out and search a nice looking HD2 on Ebay, buy it with Paypal and you'll be happy with it (of course, install Android 2.35 with Sense like this one:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1298188 ).

I'm a "poor" student too - so don't waste your money for buying things like new smartphones ;)
[HD2 General] sab3r:
I also bought mine for 230$ :) Its really great phone I moved from SE x10 just one week ago. I took me like 1 day to learn how to install, modify nand to be able to install android but I figured it out and when I saw rom with sense 3.5 for the first time ever I said it was the best move I could do :) Hd2 has much bigger community and roms works much better :] Already installed shadowgun and guest what? It works really great smooth and fast so the question is why wouldn't I love this phone? :)
[HD2 General] myview.ir:
thank you Cadilac & sab3r :)

I'm in love with this device, mainly because of of that it's not a phone like any others, yes my friend recently bought a shiny xperia arc s wich is really great looking and he is so happy with that but I'm not of that type! It's vivid, anyone who stayed with HD2 has a reason and it's freedom, oh ah :]

ok. Shopping from ebay is a normal thing for you, but here in my country if you want to have a $100 paypal payment then you have to pay $130! we don't have paypal or visa or master here, whoahh :\

prepareing for $450 deal :D

I'm crazy. huh!
[HD2 General] smeddy:
This is an amazing phone, after 18 months I still don't want to change it despite being an early adopter in most things (which is always tough on my low salary!). I'd definitely recommend this phone, but as others say, look at the $230-250 range of prices. Good luck!
[HD2 General] Iztokhy:
Love my HD2. Best phone ever!!!!!!!! Recently broke my phone. Got a new one for $150. Cant bet that......lol
[HD2 General] supercatic4:
Also got to say - love this phone - play with it more than I use it!

Also dropped it a few times, cracked the small glass covering the camera lens but it seems to take better photos now.
[HD2 General] berutti:
450$ is far too much. I bought it new 340€ last year at a mall

less than 300$ can be reasonable.
[HD2 General] myview.ir:
Ok!

Thank you all, I'm still in love. Some people said to me about battery problems with HD2, compared to i9000 sgs. My current phone is horrible on this field and if HD2 has a weak battery then it's deal breaker for me! I know, it's a smartphone with massive screen and some energy eater parts inse but lets compare it to other HTC devices, like dhd or newer sensation...

and yeah, "berrutti" said that it's too much for a dated gadget. I don't know, maybe best thing I can do is going to the city shop and ask both HD2 & i9000 and play with them some minutes then trust my feel! I's hard to decide, fresh young device with well-known old hero.

XDA-Developers Market Forum

I bought a used T-Mobile HD2 right here on the XDA-Developers Market Forum for US$200, which included shipping. I suggest you try this as you can be fairly sure about who you are dealing with and their trustworthiness.
[HD2 General] myview.ir:
Because of my location any worlwide service will cost so much, if I want a used HD2 with $250 then it will finish $370 for me!

I've found some local used devices which doesn't have any additional cost, bust I don't know sellers! here I've listed them:

so,

I'm thinking!
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
It still might be worth your time to put an ad on the XDA-Developers Market Forum, as this is a worldwide forum, and just like you, not all members are in the US. There is a chance you could find someone in Ireland, or nearby in Europe, who has an HD2, and then your shipping charges would not be so high.

HD 2

I was very much like you and when i eventualy got my HD2 I wished I had done it sooner. It is the ultimate in customisation have broken the first one my fault i had to buy a replacement straight away that was a month ago . I didnt even consider any other phone. Just try to get a good price and see who has got one here it is international here look at the signatures

Mark:)
[HD2 General] darksavior:
If you're in the US, try cowboom. I just bought a used one from there for $130US. the price increased to $140 a day later.

2 minor scratches on top. Buttons look worn out only if you look at it very closely. otherwise, it looks perfectly fine. I put WP7 on it and it's amazing. Also works a zune player (similar interface). runs as smooth if not smoother than my brand new htc sensation with android.
[HD2 General] HectiQ:
I would never sell my HD2, because the GPS signal is great,

never drops like samsung does..

whenever I buy a new phone, I will use my HD2 only as gps, because it's so good.

even my tomtom is way slower in finding gps signal. samsung galaxy s drops out and it takes a while to find signal again. but for the screen quality, NO, I wouldn't advise you to take an HD2.

For battery lenght, yes: My battery is now 60% and it's running 54 hrs now. So actually, this phone is great, if you find yourself a good rom and a good radio. but it takes time to find it. and there is signal loss al the time if you live in areas with bad reception quality. when I'm over at my girlfriend I have signal 100%, no drops, but at home constantly (maybe due to my provider, but when it drops, i usually need to shut down my phone, because it doesn't always picks the signal back up)
[HD2 General] myview.ir:
Wuhaa :)

thank you guys, really useful advices.

Actually the only reason to don't going with HD2 is it's screen, compared to that super blah blah thing samsung gs has. but don't get me wrong, I've thinked about it a lot and I know I'm not able to forget HD2...! so I think my selection is HD2.

T wish I was able to use this international forum to find a good used device but it's really hard, I dont have any way for payment and...

thnak you ;]
