[HD7 General] papabear:
Long story short..

Have a T-mo HD2 with android, overall satisfied other than lack of a keyboard. Last week, leaving work, someone's unattended child bumped my arm and knocked my phone out of my had. Making it fall on to the asphault screen first, cracking the screen. Overall, still functions and thankfully I had a screen protector on it.

Right now I am using my backup TytnII.

I have insurance on the phone, have started the claim but they want 130$ and since the HD2 is no longer in production the phoned they are offering is a T-mo HD7.

SO my question is it worth it? for the phone? Resale, and get something else? What is the phone worth if I choose to sell it? Any/all constructive input appreciated. Thanks.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
Fix your HD2 or get them to buy you a refurbished one HD7 is not worth it, made move from HD2 to 7 and regretted it since. HD2 can run WP7 if you want.
[HD7 General] papabear:
You know anyone good at fixing these?
[HD7 General] argentocruz:
I'm thinking the HD2 with android would compare to the desire...

As for HD2 being better than HD7, no way... I had WP7 on HD2 and most was fine but web browsing was tedious with no proper screen drivers... The HD7 is much better than HD2 the HD2 overheated a lot, the HD7 never overheats... And the HD2 got a distorted part of the screen, I imagine from the overheating...

If you don't like WP7 the get the HD7 and sell it for a desire...
[HD7 General] papabear:
The HD2 with WM6.5 Pro was decent. HD2 with android was very decent. Was my first non-physical keyboard phone, mostly because it was cheap. Thought about trying out WP7 on the HD2, but do not have as much time as I used to anymore.

The idea of getting the phone and selling it sounds like a good idea.

I have bids on a few phones on ebay right now, have some time left so not holding my breath.

If I can get something more towards what I really do want then I will figure out what to do with the HD2, whether be selling it, using til it breaks, or attempting to fix it myself.

Have only used one, but as far as devices out now, the G2 seems to be the best suited for what I want. I am not set on Android, but physical keyboard and 4g speeds not sure there is anything better for the time being.
[HD7 General] tfn:
If you want WP7 get the HD7 (bad battery life though ) or even better get the Nokia Lumia

Otherwise Just stick with your HD2 as I have seen it got ported with Android Icecream Sandwich :D
[HD7 General] jelliottz:
If you don't dual-boot your HD2 then go with the HD7. Pick up the 1350mah Anker battery and the battery life problem will be solved. WP7 on the HD7 is great. The phone feels quality too.

If you run android on the HD2, I would still get the HD7 and either sell or trade it.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
Sorry my HD2 never overheated, did not have dostorted screen as well. It was perfect much better built then HD7. HD2 felt like a solid brick and it proved itself as such. The same usage of HD7 over barely a year (had HD2 for 2 years) makes is squick, screen moves in corners, headphone socket is loose and ready to go, power button is collapsing and using that touch screen in light rain proves almost impossible unlike on HD2. BTW my HD2 was also through that time a GPS on a motorcycle so if it was raining it was operating in extreme moisture. HD7 goes crazy in same conditions and everything clicks on screen, you dim the screen and it comes on, music stops and starts many problems. Today in light rain I could not listen to music as screen was coming on and slightly moist pocket was making everything click.

Also HD2 is identical to HD7 in spec in more then 90%. Same CPU, US HD2 had more memory, same GPU, same screen size and I actually believe same screen.

Seen WP7 running on HD2 and did not see almost any performance differences. The one's that were there were mostly due to very slow SD card used in HD2.

I live in UK and had screen fixed in one of the shops on Tottenham Court Road.
[HD7 General] inconceeeivable:
The HD2 build is definitely better, but I'd prefer an HD7 since it's actually made to run WP7.

Dual booting is neat, but I'd rather have a device that runs one OS very well than two with serious problems. I love the HD2, but I'd never consider it reliable enough to be a daily driver.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
For me HD7 was a mistake, build quality is bad, it adds nothing over HD2 and I for one will be happy to pass it on O am afraid it will be 50GBP at best.

Next for me is Titan or move to Android as all WP7 phones feels cheap.

Seems like part of MS requirement hehe
[HD7 General] buttsak:
Sold my hd2:-( got an hd7 liked it hated it sold it. Back cover keept falling off and its a lil big in my pocket (bad if u bmx) but other then that I did kinda like wp7 really snappy and quick
[HD7 General] argentocruz:
I've had my HD7 for the same amount of time as I did my HD2 and the HD7 is flawless... The HD2 in the same time showed many more scars and screen problems...

As for back cover, I quite like the flimsy plastic for a couple of reason... Getting it on and off is simple and replacing it is under $10 on ebay...

As for the HD7 adding nothing to the HD2... Well, a pinch to zoom that works properly and the kickstand were the winners for me...

OP should take an HD7 for a spin... Our opinions are opinionated... :eek:
[HD7 General] GreenHornet:
Whew, I am just glad it wasn't your own fault for your phone breaking. Stupid unattended children.
[HD7 General] Yorkshiretaff:
For now I'd ask for an Android option. My HD7 is unusable with the disappearing keyboard fault that Microsoft has ignored for MONTHS. Steer clear!!
[HD7 General] adem_7:
I just got the HD7 recently from my organization, I am using it over my SGS 2. Probably because it's fresh, but I like the system in general, although I deplore lack of some standard apps I use in Android. I don't feel the need to tweak that, change this, flash here and there. In terms of hardware and built, it does not compary to SGS2, but it's a good phone as far as the system and usability goes.

Hi everyone!! why don't you get a samsung galaxy note :p

[HD7 General] ruscik:
Pinch to zoom another useless gimmick that apple will sue HTC or MS for. How is it any better/quicker then double tapping a screen in old Opera for WM6.5?
[HD7 General] papabear:
Exactly..

Update, I found a great deal on a T-mo HTC G2/Desire Z with accessories. So, at least for now WP7 is not in my future.

Well, I'm Brazilian (as you see under my avatar ;)) and I want to know if I can use a 3G ROM on my MZ605 Xoom, that isn't Verizon, so I want to know it because I badly want ICS upgrade then I need to know if 3G will work... I know it still on development, but thats good to know it now :)

Hi I'm also from Brazil and searching the foruns I find this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400958 assuming that you know how to root your device "if you don't that's a lot of brazilian foruns that show you how" you can install this via CWM, I'm using it right now, no problems yet, aside from the fact that there's no camera, bluetooth and HDMI witch I don't really care, everything seems to work fine, I could have access to the external SD, play games, watch 720p H264 videos, and high quality youtube videos, the web browser is very smooth and it's a bit faster than HC. Gotta say it's not for the 3G version and these guys are working on it but just for the US Carriers so it probably won't work on brazilian networksbut if you are crazy like me feel free to test. You must have an external SD to put the downloaded files on because CWM won't see your internal on recovery mode. Hope I could help, it's not nice to see a brother hangin without answer.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digicrat:
I'm finally getting around to updating my phone to 2.3.4 (bought a house over the summer and haven't had time to play with updates).

I currently have a rooted 2.2.2 Atrix with my apps/data backed up via Titanium Backup and saved off to my desktop for later restoration if needed. Except for Root and APN mod, the phone is otherwise stock.

I'm not necessarily interested in using a custom rom right now (though a wipe of data/apps may help clean things up), though I do need root, APN hack, and plan on installing the full-linux-webtop mod (if I can get my laptop dock to work reliably...). I assume things have evolved since the old posts I've come across about updating when it first came out.

What is the best method for updating to 2.3.4 at this stage?

thanks,

- David
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blingmaster:
In my opinion you should still unlock your phone even if you are staying with a stock rom. It is way easier to flash with CWM method, even if you are staying with a stock rom. Look at Fruitcake 2.3.4 and you can also flash a fruitcake 2.3.4 webtop. If you mess up your webtop hacking on it to get it just like you want it, your can reflash just the webtop.

Of course after you unlock your phone, you will probably get the itch to look at some of the custom roms that are out there. A lot of them are basically the stock rom with customizations built in.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzas144:
Hi, I was looking forward to install Aura ROM on my Atrix 4G. First of all, I was wondering if I can ask a few questions about how the phone will perform with the upgrade.

a). Mi first question is. ¿Will Aura ROM + 1.3Ghz faux Kernel improve my battery life?. Because my battery is lasting just 12 hs-14hs with only 1 hr of wifi / chatting / media / 3G usage. Will the overclock reduce my battery life? or does Aura come optimized to perform better than the stock phone?. If I set a kernel that uses stock speeds I would get a better battery life?.

b). Is the WebTop hack compatible with Aura ROM?.

c). Can I restore my previous configuration and apps by using titanium backup?.

d). Will my phone recognize ext4 formated sdcard?. And if not, is there a way to do it (I would like to have the possibility to carry files larger than 4GB)

e). Blurred edition comes with all the stock apps Am I right?.

Thanks !!

Regards.

I am running the latest faux 1.3 kernel and have not noticed much difference in battery life. Try it and see what you get. Very easy to flash kernel back if you need to. However be aware that changing the rom to Aura (or any other rom) most likely will affect your battery life- You will need to optimize it for your new rom. Do a search for the procedure.

>b). Is the WebTop hack compatible with Aura ROM?.

What do you mean by Webtop Hack? Standard Webtop, Full Debian Mod, Webtop2sd? If Aura does not come with the Webtop, you can flash it with the Fruitcake Addon. And I believe Aura works with all of the other 2 Webtop "Hacks" I am about to flash Aura because I am running Darkside 4.2 and I cannot get Webtop2sd running with it.

>c). Can I restore my previous configuration and apps by using titanium >backup?.

It should. However this is where you need to spend some time and research if you want to make sure you do it right so that you do not lose all of your stuff. Store to your external Sdcard and you can copy it off to your PC

>d). Will my phone recognize ext4 formated sdcard?. And if not, is there a >way to do it (I would like to have the possibility to carry files larger than >4GB)

I know that the the latest Faux Kernels enable Ext4, but I do not believe android can make use of it yet. I think it is still Ext3. Not too sure about this though. You might need to do a little more research on this.

>e). Blurred edition comes with all the stock apps Am I right?.

Yes it should come with all of the standard Motoblur apps. And if you do change your Rom to Aura, Kernel to Faux, etc get ready to have a few sleepless nights flashing it many times to get it just right. Of course that is the fun of doing it, right?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzas144:
Hi,

Thanks for the complete reply. Im on vacations now so having sleepless nights trying to flash my phone isn't an issue. ;).

About ext4 format, if its not compatible with Android, but Android supports ext3 (as you said in your reply), its fine, because ext3 supports files bigger than 4GB (4TB is the maximum size).

Again, thanks for your help, very useful.

◄ ▌[ROM][IML74K][i9020T,i9020A,i9023] Brainmaster's Stock ICS 4.0.3 ▌►

What do you get with this ROM?

Its Full Stock ICS 4.0.3 ROM that includes following

Tweaks:

- Deodexed

- Rooted

- Zipaligned

- Busyboxed

- Busybox Run-Parts (support for scripts in the init.d)

- Unsecured Boot.img

- ADB Enabled

- EXT4 and TCP Tweaks

- Dalvik moved to the /cache partition

- EFS Backup

- Automated Zipaligning of /data/app

- ADFree Hosts file

- Sticky Recovery (Custom recovery doesn't get overwritten after flashing the ROM)

- HSPA Icon

- Dock Settings

- Graphic fix (Quadrant Planet Benchmark)

- Unicode support for SMS/MMS

- Animation/Transition glitches fixed

- AppWidgetPicker

- 360° Rotation

- No AppDrawer lag

- Framework tweaks

- Bonus: Radio KI1 and Bootloader KL1

How to install:

- Copy ROM file on your SDCard,

- Start Recovery,

- Go to "mounts and storage" and select format /system, /data, /cache, /boot,

- Install ROM,

- Reboot.

Further Instructions:

App drawer is sluggish and has lags, not like the tweaked CM9 Trebuchet App drawer.

Besides, the default heapsize is too big - 128 MB, for our device. I didn't change it, because I wanted to keep the ROM as stock as possible.

I recommend to everyone to make use of the new settings for the Background apps: Settings > Developer options > Background process limit > At most 4 processes (Need to be set on every reboot!)

Also don't forget to Force the GPU Rendering in the same Developer Options.

Enjoy the ICS Brainmaster Experience!
