[HD2 General] Akishimax:
Quick word to dazza

I have to admit, i've come from leftfield...mainly computers

my prevous handset was the Sony Ericsson 'P' series of phones...

The 800, 900, 910i, 1i...and up to the last one i was happy with that. They replaced the range with the Xperia and i bailed.

I wasn't happy or convinced with loosing my beloved buttons in favour of full touchscreen.

After much deliberation plumped for the HD2, on paper it was good. It turned out to be nothing less than outstanding to this day.

I had to run it 'stock' for 18 months and wouldn't dare tweak it in case i ended with a brick and a contract.

I finally flashed it in mid 2011, and it surpassed all of my expectations...and most of the phones that have been released since the HD2 up to the present.

Much respect goes out to all developers involved in bringing Android to the HD2.

Just a bit of my handset history, so you know

With regard to this thread and the One X.

The X IS a damn good phone, better looking than the S3, light and a great 'feel' to it in the hand...the unibody, locked memory and poor battery killed it for me.

Additionally, i'm up for trying out an AMOLED screen, and a higher DPI

The HD2 leaks a lot of light from the sides, but still can dazzle visually.

I've waited a long time deliberating what to replace the HD2 with...the EVO 4G was a contender last year, but not for here in the UK...so more time had to pass....till now.

I'm going to try out this new S3 to see if it cuts it...but i have a niggling feeling the LG 4X HD may come from nowhere and smash them all...ugly...but certainly one to watch out for.

BTW. I've had my HD2 since release and have had NO issues with it whatsoever. Everything intact, just the 'transfer' flaking off the edges of the buttons....and could probably do with a new battery as it can just about run for 8hrs with general use.

I hardly want to replace it...still king in my eyes...

but i want to try some of this new tech as well to see how far things have progressed in comparison.

I just wanted to reply to you and give you a better flavour of where i'm coming from.
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
Don't sell the HD2. Keep it as a benchmark.

The problem with many of these new phones is that the mobile spec race is hotter than ever. Tegra 3 and S4 Krait have plenty of tough competition coming up before the end of this year. I wonder which of these new phones will actually last.

The HD2 enjoyed much of its success thanks to mixing key features (1GHz Snapdragon, 576MB RAM, 4.3" WVGA capacitive screen, microSD, removable battery, thin profile and high build quality) that were well ahead of its time. Not a single phone has been up-to-date/state-of-the-art as long as the HD2 was. Heck, even almost a year later we had silly phones like the Desire HD that weren't practically better than the HD2 in any respect except a die shrink to 45nm.

I kept the HD2 when I bought the Galaxy Note. I sold the Note because I realized it wasn't actually practically better at doing what I do (mild browsing, texting, calls, social network apps) than the HD2 is.

I like the HD2 ROMs more than I liked the Note ROMs (not to mention many more options for the HD2), plus the HD2 was built much better.
[HD2 General] cgigate:
hd2 can do much more than One x
[HD2 General] g_kid:
remember...the hd2 came out with some great hype ( specs wise), but users despised of this phone in the first couple of months. I remember looking for a phone and the sales people REFUSED to sell me the phone because of all the bad customer feedback. extreme freezing, horrible software, blah blah...I researched and got some more bad online reviews. but at the time I couldn't get over the ***awesome specs*** and DOPE SCREEN!!! (this was before every phone hade 4" screen). I also realised that they made updated versions and gave it a try even with the sales person shaking their head and highly cautioning me not no purchase ( even saying see you in a few days for a return) >:-/

I paid $50 for the phone and happily used the phone and loved it. YouTube was beautiful, using windows mobile file system was brilliant, download stuff like I was on a computer was fun ( mp3s,movies, documents, etc. I was happy, and felt lucky I got the updated one with very few problems. but then s*it got real...

All Phones started to get big screens, androids started to get more and more popular, digital camaras and phones became the same,iPhones...stayed the same... and freaking software and apps started to update and leave Wm 6.5 in the dark. then something weird happened... I stared getting bored of my awesome phone...

but by the graces of God... ( or maybe this wonderful community of developers) . I found out I.could put the Almighty android on my phone. when I did..I got the exact same feeling of getting a new phone. I was excited, trilled , and pleased with how well the android worked!

now 2 years later, this is the best phone I've ever bought. it was like a mystical secret weapon sent from Zeus that everyone ridiculed, and turned out to be a beast. with all that said, I am finding it extremely hard to find another phone even though its time to upgrade. I want to find a secret weapon again( like the hd2). is the One series it? people are having their problems with it (sounds familiar) . hype...but mixed user reviews (sounds familiar) . iffy software : sense+4.04 (sounds 6.5 familiar)

I have the greatest phone IMO ...the one series may be something to keep an eye on, but limited *actual available * memory, no SD slot, no removable battery, and no super WOW factor ( compared to my dual boot...custom 6.5 windows+ android running...rooted....fast wifi tethering...super bright dual.flashlight having...gesture unlock screen able..tough built (with awesome.complimentary HTC rubber case) boasting...perfect USB & headphone & hardkey strip placed...4.3 led screen ( which people used say was waaayy too big) having...HTC HD 2.
[HD2 General] birleytweet:
Are you serious? I'd always been with Windows mobile and had a Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2 with Windows mobile 6.5.

Around a year ago I decided to give a HTC Desire a go one we had at work and was way better. No more sluggish Windows mobile.

I don't know how you could compare a HTC HD2 to a One X. The 1280x720 screen, fast processor, very quick camera. The large range of apps on the android market.

There's no way I'd go back to Windows mobile or even phone 7.
[HD2 General] hengsheng120:
Lulz, you know the point of the HD2 is that it can be any way you want it to be. I want a HTC Desire? I flash the desire rom. I want galaxy s? I flash galaxy s rom. It also gets to use WinMo apps, WP7 apps, and android (+sense, touchwiz) apps. Which in terms of app selection alone is better than most phones out there, since it would be like i had 5 phones for the price of 1.
[HD2 General] g_kid:
your exactly right. kinda what I was trying to say.
[HD2 General] scpion:
I had mentioned that i am cycling between GB roms...

Screen, yeah its 1280x720. but I dun hold the phone right in front of my face to see the screen. First few times maybe, just to see how good it is.

Day to day usage, I really dun see much difference regard single core or 4 cores. ( I dun play games ).

Camera, yes it quick but auto focusing is a hit and miss.

I love wp7 and it runs absolutely smooth on the HD2.
[HD2 General] scpion:
Btw I dun recall myself saying that the HD2 is better than One X. At best, its only on par in certain aspect.

I am just saying that it not worth the "upgrade".
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
interesting, so how exactly does having a faster processor, higher res make a phone better? Surely it depends what you use your phone for, WP works just nicely without those fast big features on the hd2, bigger camera is pointless unless you have great optics, and the apps are only useful if you have a use for them. The point is, my HD2 will do anything I want it to do just as well as a one x so to me, yes the hd2 is better than the one x

@OP: I have tried Espier and iLauncher, if I had to chose between these 2, I would stick to Espier.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treoespero:
iLauncher

iLauncher used to be a bit laggy on my Galaxy Ace (not really buggy), but with the latest updates (yes 3 updates in one day) this week, it suddenly become very smooth and really iPhone 4S-like in operation.

Bravo to the iLauncher developers for bringing those updates, because now my Gal Ace is a really worthy replacement for iPhone. Well, not retina display obviously, but very close in other respects, especially in white body color.

I tried Espier and true enough it is very responsive but now that iLauncher is similarly responsive, I ditched Espier because the icons are not good enough. iLauncher really bring the closest experience ever to an iPhone 4.

Well, I managed to change some of the icons with iLauncher, including their names, but after a while I couldn't change other icons and app names. Maybe because of too many apps on my desktop.

Why should we adopt IOS look for our Android phones? Well, I don't really like the dark brooding looks of Android UI and the small icons and prefer the cheerful and bright IOS colors and themes. The best combination of both worlds: IOS look with Android/Google play store backup.

[Galaxy 3 General] vleutmans:
Hi,

I found Noop scheduler instable on any froyo rom when there is high cpu load and high memory load with multiple applications (little memory available).

This results in spontaneous reboot of the phone.

When I switch to BFQ (also good scheduler) everything is fine.

I use fugumod 2.4beta3 kernel.

Anyone have spontaneous reboots under high load? Please try BFQ scheduler (with no frill cpu control or startup script)

Hi!

I have a HP 6915 since a few years ago, now, when I power on it only shows the HP logo and a "Local mode" message, if i plug it to USB port, this changes to "USB Mode".

The problem is that the official Spanish rom Update 1.50 from HP doesn't detect de device, and UNI_bootloader and other methods that I have view in XDA Forumdoesn't work for me.

Any sugestions? Other softwares? Would I try it on other OS as Windows XP?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xpainkillerx:
Couple questions I have.

What is the correct procedure for flashing ROMS? Heard you have to wipe cache and dalvik cache, where do you go to wipe dalvik cache?

Do you always have to flash a ROM twice?

When flashing zips for ROM fixes, do you have to re-install base ROM then the ROM fix? EX - Running AOKP Milestone 5.2, there is a problem with the Internal storage mounting. Downloaded a fix off jokersaxs website. In CWM I cleared the cache, flashed the ROM twice and the Internal memory still can not be found.

Thank you for the Help!
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
1) Depends on what you are flashing. Before flashing the file you will want to read up on it first. Usually there are guidelines in the OP. If you are not sure than best to ask first and make sure you have a backup created. It is a good idea to wipe cache/dalvik several times before flashing. This can be done via your recovery (in CWM dalvik is located under "Advanced" menu) or there are zip files you can flash which will do the wiping for you. I usually do both.

2) No. But with certain roms it is recommended to help prevent issues. Usually if it is needed it will be stated somewhere in the thread.

3) Should not have to but here again it depends on the type of file/fix and if it is necessary should be listed in the OP. Usually just the fix can be flashed otherwise it would be easier for the dev to post an updated rom version to flash.

Well that's how CM 7 based ROMs boot bro. You will see a screen saying ANDROID rather than the Galaxy Ace screen. Just wait for 5-10 mins and it'll work or just go into CWM, do wipe data, wipe cache and it'll be ok. But you have to wait for atleast 5-10 minutes.

[Desire General] J_Dutch:
On wich ROM are you?

It really depends on the rom/kernel you use i suppose.

Last month I flashed about 15 roms and always wiped battery stats and calibrated it. Then there are people that say it's because our desire/battery gets old. But i don't believe that.

With Runny Rom for example i could go as low as 1% of battery without a doubt.

I hope that the developers will look into it cause it can be annoying altough MatDrOiD said it right about the way of charging your battery.

BTW thanks MatDrOiD for the link.
[Desire General] razer185:
I use the mildwild ROM v4.5
[Desire General] erklat:
What do you believe in then? I hope it's not in wiping batterystats.bin, which gets wiped anyhow when battery charge goes over 90%. :)
[Desire General] J_Dutch:
Hehe, no I don't believe in that either. Actualy I have no idea what the problem might be, but when a phone gets older, it would be a process right? Not 17% from one day to another.

And if that was true it wouldn't be possible that my battery stats are back on track after flashing a new rom. It is a weird thing i think...
[Desire General] Weimar-zero:
I´ve the same problem. Sometimes it works till 5% and sometimes it turns of with about 10%.

With the voltage level is everything fine because the Desire of a friend works till 5% with the same stats.

Wipe battery stat didn´t fix it.

@razer185

Did you charge your Desire when it is on or off?

Try to charge it when its off.

I have the feeling that it has an influence on it, but I am not sure

I'm not a dev so it's no solution for me, or am I missing something?

[Nook Touch General] vsupacha:
Just got my Nook Simple Touch, then use TouchNooter 2.1.31 to root. After that, battery is drained very fast (> 1X % in one day). Then this post got me an idea.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1590029

I used Touch Color Tools -> All Settings -> Development, and then uncheck Stay awake to avoid wake locking. Then my NST battery becomes better with < 5% per day without WiFi (apps terminated by ATK).

Anyway, Battery use is still dominated by Cell standby and Phone idle. Thinking about removing these two services later.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I just looked. I had already deleted /system/app/Phone.apk

Normally my battery drain is very low.

Sometimes it is randomly 3%/hour with single-click power off.

I have caught it sometimes with the touch screen still scanning when it should be sleeping.

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24232518#post24232518

Whenever I do a

dumpsys power

it never shows any locks.

Most apps you shouldn't have to terminate.
[Nook Touch General] AStove:
I doubt that "Stay awake" setting is relevant. That's only to prevent screensaver when charging..

I removed most apps and have no more Cell Standby. Most of my use is phone idle (84%)... My battery drains 15% per day. Some say it's because of not registering but I can't get it to register.
[Nook Touch General] vsupacha:
I think that NST firmware may hold the wake lock status even not charging anymore. Actually, the first time I have noticed battery issue is when I charge NST without powering off.

Anyway, it is quite easy to follow my steps. At least, every NST based on TouchNooter should have Nook Color Tools installed.
[Nook Touch General] miguelroboso:
Same for me. My nook loses 20% of its battery per day; I removed cell standby, and unchecked "stay awake", but the problem is still there.

Any other idea?
[Nook Touch General] pkryger:
Didn't try it for myself, but there's pretty powerful app called BetterBatteryStats. It can tell who's holding wake lock. If it supports 2.1, it may be worth to try it.
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
SpareParts seems to work just fine on the NST, and is handy for checking to see what's using wakelocks.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Be sure you don't have any apps that poll in the background. I disabled gmail notifications, and any other sort of background updates. Widgets can cause a lot of activity that will adversely affect battery life.

Other than that, you might try paring back apps to see if you can identify the culprit.
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
For me, I find rilj dialer is doing a few partial wakelocks, would be nice to improve that. The fix normally would be removing gmail but we need gmail for other things. Guess I will freeze it with Titanium...
