My opinion might be biased as I hate apple for being a company seemingly run by a group of layer minded individuals who whip out patient lawsuits at the first sign of competition that might actually beat them... but I digress. 1: From what I have heard about iPhones all you can really change is the wallpaper. How is that not restrictive? 2: As the ios is not open source, there is very limited options for hacking. Jailbreak is the best they have... and that is still basically just a iPhone. 3: All apps have to be approved before hitting the market, letting the company severely restrict what content gets on there market.

Ever tried to run a full desktop os on your iphone? you simply cant! but i can chroot on ubuntu and do whatever i cant do in my mobile os... like coding on the go :D

Usually the people who write **** about the iPhone are people who:

can't afford it

freak android fanboys that think that android is the best, without ever touching another mobile OS (usually 13 year olds)

If it wasn't for me wanting a aim unlocked phone, I maybe would be on the iPhone. It looks really nice, but also I like hardware Keyboards, that's why it's been so long with me having this G2. Also I buy unlocked phones that AT$T doesn't have so I don't need to pay for data. I'm one of the few people that have a smartphone without a data plan lol.
[Off-topic] hassanhassan:
I've also noticed iPhone Apps nearly always tend to look better.
[Off-topic] Mainspring:
I'd have to respectfully disagree.

top of the line Androids cost about the same.

I've handled other mobile OS and I prefer Android. just personal preference.

and no, I'm not 13, not even 20... old man I am... :o

anyway, that's a bit OT since it doesn't address OP's question.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
I'm talking about writing **** about it, not disliking it ;-)

And by writing **** I mean "iPhone sucks because you can't take out the battery". It's not everyday that you have to pop the battery out of your phone. Even I have a case now which is a ***** to take off so I can take out the battery.
[Off-topic] Mainspring:
I don't think anyone was talking **** about the IPhone, just giving their opinion on why it's restricting.

Well, minus one poster.

Yes, don't have to pop the battery out everyday but what if you wanted to place a higher capacity battery?

Or, just wanted to place a fresh battery to get maximum talk time?

Not possible on the IPhone.

Don't get me wrong, not saying the IPhone is bad, just very restrictive, getting back to op's question.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Not that I'm defending the iPhone, but at work I've put in higher capacity batteries in the iPhone. lol
[Off-topic] BeardedB:
To help clarify things people that say the iPhone is restricted either has owned an iPhone and changed to Android, owns an Android device and has seen the limitations iOS has compared to Android, or is an Android fan boy and just wants to bash.

Owners of iPhones that have never experienced another OS believe that their phone can "do everything". I had a discussion with a friend where he would swear his iPhone was the best but if you think about it it is, for him. Us here in xda are in search of unlocking the potential of our phones and people with iPhones are in search of being accepted by the public. People just usually get an iPhone because others have them. Why do you think they wait on line to be the first? So they can be known as the one that got it first.

Others go to iOS for stability and great eco system. By ecosystem I mean iCloud with iPad and iTunes with iMac all working together without a flaw. Also, the iOS I believe has better quality applications. Games are awesome on the iPhone's small 3.5 inch screen. Facebook was always better on the iPhone. My broadband provider only has its application for the iOS.

So to answer your question, yes the iPhone is "restricted" (if limited is what you mean), compared to Android. Certain restrictions are there for a reason. Apple cares more about battery life and stabilization than live wallpapers, Widgets and true multitasking. Android is open source and gives the people what they want, a phone you can do what ever you want with.

Most people won't know how to do that though...

For most people they'd have to drop it off at the Apple Store to be shipped off for repair.

[Off-topic] Waddle:
I'm 13 and i have to say that I like android more than ios. I came off an itouch 2g and i loved it, however I had to freaking jailbreak it just to change the background. And there were themes, which were OK, but they destroyed the performance on it. I know that this isn't based off of the iphone 4s but ios is meant for the person that doesn't want to customize their phone. Ios seems to be for people who want look cool with their new phone, and not care that they can't do anything on it.

In all, ios is for the average non techie consumer, and android is for the people who want to get the best out of their phone.

But unfortunately, now there is a growing trend of people getting android phones because "everybody has an iPhone, and then they ***** about how they don't like it because they don't know how to modify it.

hello guys i had NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.2a_NAND_(Android-2.3.7) on my htc hd2 then i wanted to use this rom

so after installing MAGLDR113 and CWR 5.0.2.6 i rebooted and created partition then i pressed mount and storage and pressed mount usb storage copied the the file name "NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.2a_NAND_(Android-2.3.7).zip" onto sd card and when i pressed choose zip from sd card and tried to install this it gave me error

"finding package, opening package, cant open /sdcard/"romname", installation aborted"

so i seaarched and i rename to update.zip still got the same error ,if i change it to "update" only it does not show up.

so somwhere i read to extract thee files and place in sdcard root and choos boot from ad sd , so i did that ,it loaded htc hd2 image on bottom it says NDT series by langthang" and it is stuck there not moving forward...i know i am doing something wrong i searched alot i tried to get back on "NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.2a_NAND_(Android-2.3.7)" it also gives the same error saying cant open bla bla i downloaded winmo went into bootloader tried to install winmo but it gets stuck on 0% please help i read tons of posts i searched alot after doing everything i came to get help from you

edit:i tried to restore and it says md5 mismatch :(

thanx

If you mounted sd card in CWM do not press back button!

Sd is still mounted...so press call button or restart your phone, boot into CWM and try again to flash your rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
corrupted download? interrupted transfer? always try copying across / downloading it again before you do anything else.

its a nand build so not sure it would cope with simply unpacking onto the sd card, i 'think' (i dont know, no clue about teh technicals) you have to alter something in teh init, but thats why i expect it isnt loading.

which one? full filename please, also the version hd2 (regular, tmous) and its source, bought unlocked? branded from a provider? details are king when troubleshooting

stuck at 0% usually points to the wrong rom for your phone, and/or no hspl installed. look in bootloader, whats teh spl line say?

theres a few threads about fixing md5 sums, read them yet?

i would suspect a dodgy sd card, but thats only a first general guess based on little information.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Taco123:
It looks like a bad download.

But at first, check if your HSPL has version 2.08, and flash it, if it is other version.

Then check Radio version (2.15.50.14) and flash it, if it is other verion.

Do task29 and install afterwards magldr and recovery with right size for your rom.

Partiion you SD-Card like it should and wipe all you find (partition will delete all your data on sd-card).

Copy downloadet zip to sd card and install it.

These are only basic steps. More details you find here:

All was well and several hours and many reboots later I was auto-updating 40+ apps when the phone locked up solid. I pulled the battery only to get a bootloop.

I checked catlog output via adb and was getting a lot of mmcblk0: errors indicating a bad eMMC

At this stage I was still able to get into recovery so I did a factory wipe and tried again - still bootloop. After trauling forums I attempted to stockrom (fastboot) using the romimage from the downgrade instructions and it failed to write userdata. The reattempt failed as phone was no longer visible to fastboot.

Reboot and now only get RUU screen (4 triangles)

If I try fastboot flash BOOT / HBOOT / recovery... I get FAILED (remote: not allowed)

fastboot erase cache just sits forever (shows fail in RUU logs)

I have tried several RUU from http://shipped-roms.com but they all either hang at erasing cache or on occasion get to flashing HBOOT.... and hang.

I have tried to fastboot flash StockRom.zip and it gets all the way to (bootloader) [RUU]WP,radio,95 and hangs.

when I fastboot oem rebootRUU - I sometimes get

(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] read data fail in CMD18

(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] SD: Read data fail..

(bootloader) [ERR] partition_read_emmc(453): error 2

I have created a goldcard but it does not appear to be of any use with fastboot only. The phone had a Vodafone bootlogo so maybe I just need the correct RUU?

Any advice appreciated as I am loosing all hope of fixing this..

Hi all, I currently have the HTC sensation, but thinking about exchanging it and putting a bit of cash towards to getting the Samsung Galaxy S2?

Is this a wise choice? as i have only had my sensation for a few weeks and have being hearing problems about dust under the screen, I do not want my sensation to get to this stage, so I need advice on whether to replace it with the Samsung galaxy S2.

basically I would appreciate if someone answered the 3 following questions:

Is replacing the HTC sensation with the samsung a wise choice? ( I use it for web browsing, music,playing games, taking pics and videos and texting)

Does the samsung have any major defects with the majority of there devices like the sensation does?

Is it worth it?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
I think they're fairly equal on the things you'd use it for.

Have a look on the GS2 forums for things like defects.

Depends on how much you get for your Sensation and the price of the GS2 I'd say. Personally, I'm quite unconcerned about dust under the screen etc. but if you are concerned and feel the GS2 is better for you overall then go for it.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidInsanity:
Does the dust effect the phone in terms of performance? and the S2 is like £60 more second hand. got my sensation for something like £215. Oh and another question, the sensation sometimes locks itself when i am browsing or typing? any ideas? this is another issue what is making me think about exchanging it for the s2.

thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Honestly, I'm not sure. I can't see why it would. £60 more is reasonable if you definitely want the GS2.

Hmm, that's odd. What ROM are you using?
[HTC Sensation] AndroidInsanity:
Stock ROM. no root or anything. weird! and very annoying when it does it :/ and i think i might stick to the sensation then, if there is some sort of fix to the problem i am having. thank you for your replies
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Must be annoying!

Have a look under display for the 'Timeout' and see what the time is.

timeout is 45 seconds, not 2 seconds which it seems to think sometimes lol. if it gets on my nerves too much i suppose i will get the S2 in febuary. Thanks alot for replying :)

No problem.

If you're willing to, then you could try changing ROM's. Then you can ascertain whether it's a problem with the software or hardware i.e. the lock button.

Great idea, went on a different website and its quite common by looks of it from what i have read, they say its hardware problem which is a bummer.
