Better than the 201

I am very pleased with my Infinity. I have been wanting a tablet to perform like this since buying the tf-201. I agree with a previous post that says the Infinity should of been the tf-201. I did have a very good experience with the OG tf-101. I was very disappointed in my tf-201. I don't even think it being worthy of being called a prime...its a tf-201. I have also been very careful with my Infinity as far as downloads, uploads etc... I have read where a few people are having issues with the Infinity. I have performed cold reboots and power reset with any major software changes. Even doing them twice if I questioned it. IDK if it really matters....but I am having very good experiences with my Infinity thus far. Dare I say..Remarkable? Yes, upgrade from the tf-201 at first chance you will not be disappointed.

The battery will take some getting used to. The 700 drains very fast compared to the prime.

Recently my phone feel so slugish and the mp3's are not playing on any music app. Ive searched through the internet that if i do a hard reset and clean dalvik cache that should fix it. But when i done that something went wrong with my android phone. It boots with no problem but when the boot finishes the screen just go black. I know it is booted cause it vibrates when i press the buttons(haptic feedback) but its just black screen. Im using mt6516 android platform phone. Cherry Mobile Candy to be exact.

Not sure what you did exactly but odds are you will need to reflash the firmware. I'd try another hard reset to be sure but the reflash will probably be necessary.

[HD2 General] amitkool21:
hello guys,

i want to clear some of my issues here, so guys please help me out (and please don't suggest me to buy a new phone as i don't like WM7 nor android nor iOS but i like windows 6.5 and wants to test some things on this phone only) :)

so i have done my homework(just a bit) and checked this comparison between both of them and found only a few things are different, here they are

gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3228&idPhone2=2957

:::

T-Mobile HD2 HTC HD2

1. 3G Network	: HSDPA 1700 / 2100 HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 2100 - Australian Version

2. Dimensions : 122 x 67 x 11 mm 120.5 x 67 x 11 mm

3. Memory(Internal) : 576 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM 448 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM

4. WLAN : Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Wi-Fi router

1. i want to use this phone in India so does the point no. 1 concerns me ???

2. i don't care about this difference :P

3. this is the major thing what i want to know , tell me everything that what differences does 512MB ROM can make.

4. i think that's just a typo error and HTC HD2 also have Wi-Fi router, if i'm wrong please tell me what does it do.

+ one more thing i want to know is how loud is the speaker sound is(for ringtones) in comparison to HTC Touch Diamond(i already got this one).

i have heard that radio version of T-Mobile HD2 is something weird , so it doesn't support most of the ROM's and people can brick this easily(accidently).

Note : i want to check Android OS's , WM7 OS and ubuntu too , so keeping that in mind and suggest me that if T-Mobile with 576 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM is better or the other one .

Thanx for reading this :)
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
The only difference is ROM, 1GB in TMOUS and 512MB in international version.

Radio bricks? You can cause them only if you install wrong Windows Mobile ROM or very old radio. If you want to stick to Android and WP7, there's nothing you should worry about.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
1 pretty sure most networks in India use the 2100 so should be fine. If you intend to do any travelling though, the regular will have a bit more roaming compatibility.

3 with the correct rom radio and spl combination the regular hd2 also has 576m ram, and besides, 448 is usually plenty. Check the Artemis winmo6.5 rom, it doesn't use the extra ram and doesn't suffer for it.

That just leaves the double internal rom. If/when magldr 2 gets released, you'll be able to have multiple OS's in nand, in which case the extra 512meg will be really useful, but for now, with android using a2sd to simulate internal memory on the SD its not a big difference.

The big difference as you noted (incorrect reasoning, but it does lead to a brick) is the radio.

Regular can use any radio, but must use a T-Mobile (tmous) radio if you want to unlock the extra ram or use android/wp7/magldr.

Radios are told apart by the code,,,

x.xx.50 are tmous,

x.xx.51 for regular, however since the later regular roms started shipping with 50 radios too, most people just set something like 2.15.50 and forget about it.

It boils down to "never flash a regular hd2 stock rom to a tmous, its radio will brick it.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
most important thing is buying a good device & not really so important in terms of TMOUS or International.

1GB ROM is nice on the TMOUS but a good working device preferably new & not from eBay & the likes is the main thing of concern.

TMOUS 3G band issues is not a great concern & I have used mine in many countries on 3G with no issues yet.

Just go with the best & newest you can get hold of.
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
thanx for the fast replies guys

****************************************************

@Spaqin :::

so you mean if i install a false ROM of 6.5 only than there are chances of getting the device bricked but i try Android(ICSW) and WP7 its safe ??

****************************************************

@samsamuel :::

if 2100 works in India i'll be fine than(no plans for travelling in near future), BTW what exactly is magldr 2 ? and is that extra 512MB ROM makes any difference in interface speed of WP7 or Android(if we install them)

what if install a false radio and get bricked.....is that mean we will be stuck on a black screen for ever and no coming back to official ROM ??

what is a nand ?

i gurss you haven't check the 4th point of WLAN and what about loudness of speaker in comparison to touch diamond ?

****************************************************

@Mister B :::

thanx for the suggestion dear but i really don't want to buy a newest model, and why not to buy it from ebay ?

and i really don't have a plan to travel in near future , so no need to worry about the band issues :)
[HD2 General] Mister B:
buy hd2 new if possible not a newest model.

ebay is full of defect devices, it is quite a risk.

I have tested hd2 tmous in many countries over last 2years & 1700/2100 3g bands have been no issue for me ...
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
@Mister B ::::

well as i live in INDIA and here i couldn't find a box pack model so gonna get it from ebay.com only coz amazon don't ship to india.........BTW planning to buy a brand new but used one's are also available here on Indian ebay.in

Question . : even the brand new phone have defects from ebay ?? is that a personal experience ?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
magldr is a custom bootloader used to load wp7/android.

it may help to have the whole rom on the same memory chip, but in general i doubt it. so long as the sd card is a decent one, and the rom you install is working right (not an alpha/beta) then you shouldn't see any difference.

JTAG will fix it. (dont ask, look it up if you wanna know what it is)

the internal memory chip, the read only memory, , the internal storage chip, it is 'nand' flash memory, hence we call it 'nand' or 'the nand' as in ' im dual booting wp7 from the nand, gingerbread android from sd'

didnt bother reading that far, , , there are no differences in wifi.

couldnt say. what i CAN say is its very dependant on what you are running, most winmo roms are fine, i think i remember hearing that wp7 was a bit loud, and i find android just a little quiet.
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
@samsamuel : thanx for all these detailed answers man......

some few more questions here(sorry) :D

check this thread ::: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1786261

Q. does that mean i can't use this device in India ?

Q. can we flash Win 7 to nand ?

Q. what you suggest a T-Mobile HD2 or the HTC HD2 ?

Q. any site with internationl shipping(and what maximum price you suggest) ?

Q. what are the different-different models available for HD2, like HD2 T8585 , HD2 Leo 100 and some others.....are they any different ??

again a big thanx man :)
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
even i would like to know the same thing as i have just bought this phone from ebay.com.

He is saying its WP6.5 stock and sealed and all.

what possible defect are you talking about ? :(:(
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
@tanush : where you from(state) and have you bought it from ebay.com or ebay.in and a T-Mobile or a International Model ???
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
and can you please provide me the link of ebay listing.........???
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
ebay.com bro.. no listing in ebay.in :(

PMed you the link!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
well, since you picked that post i shall assume you are using vodaphone, , , gsm will work because the hd2 (both types) are quad band, so that handles calls, gprs, and edge, and voda india puts out hsdpa at 900 and 2100, and both regular and tmous can handle 3g on 2100, while the regular can also handle hsdpa at 900, and you may find (i'll let you look it up, cos i couldsn't immediately see it) that in some countries more rural areas use 900 for 3g (beter range) while cities have 2100, (better building penetration) so it may be worth checking that you get 2100 in your area.

only to nand.

i supose the real clincher is if you need the 900MHz to get 3g.(honestly, i dont think i'd like a tmous, i like the white keys of the regular, and i get too smoked late at night when playing with roms to feel comfortable with a phone that has an instant brick switch built in, so it'd be a regular hd2 for me, , im already 6 months into my second)

t8585 - regular hd2

t9193 - telstra hd2, which is a regular hd2, but with different 3g frequencies, probably not what you're after.

leo 100 - htc code name for the t8585
[HD2 General] Mister B:
problem is a lot of so called new is not 100% new.

if lucky they have a few & they are old stock but unused.

If unlucky it could be handset returned after a few days with odd faults or service centre repaired units used for warranty exchange.

Chinese are experts at repackaging & tagging so you can be clueless.

Check the sellers feedback carefully: http://www.feedbackselector.com/

contact a couple of people who purchased hd2 or other similar listed phones from this seller.

I have had a few personal chats with xda members (last one was from india too) with bad eBay Hd2 experiences but most have been used Hd2s but do remember it so easy to lie & sell the sh1te you can't via standard retail via eBay at good profit level so buyer must take care.

Hope you have good purchases, best of luck
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
see... thats how i should have posted... I'll code from now on...

thanks for help!!!

---------- Post added at 03:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

There's nothing I can do know... Already bought.. Just have to play the waiting game....

thanks for telling me this website...

would be very useful from now on...
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
@samsamuel :

thanx man you are a life saver, is there anything i can do for you ??

BTW last set of Questions :D ........ any possibilities of magldr 2 release in near future ??

and is the speaker sound loud enough for ringtones ??

what do you mean by "im already 6 months into my second" and "instant brick switch built in"(i guess the second phrase is for T-Mobile, bcoz of the radio bricking problem)

i also like the white keys of regular one(so i guess i'm going to order a regular one only, but lets wait for tanush's order when his is delivered, i'll ask him about the frequencies)

can you suggest me a good seller on ebay(who sells genuine item only not refurbished ones)

thanx again

@Mister B :

i'll remember that sir , thanx :)

@tanush : good luck brother, do let us know when you get it :)
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
@samsamuel :

check this link for the frequencies used by Indian networks

roamtheworldcellphones.com/gsmindia[/url]
[HD2 General] Mister B:
TMOUS 2G GSM is quad-band same as international:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

TMOUS 3G differs but still works on all 1900/2100 I have tried in UK,France, Germany, China, Hong Kong, Singapore.

3G Network	HSDPA 1700 / 2100
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
thanx but it says different here with general model >> HSDPA 900 / 2100

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3228&idPhone2=2957
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
don't worry about frequencies any hd2 will work !!!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you're missunderstanding the bands, when it says '3g on 900/2100' that means your phone needs to support 900 OR 2100 to get 3g, ,it doesnt need to support both (assuming you do get 2100 in your area, its almost becoming standard globably to offer 2100 on at least some netwqorks, but there are some gaps)

both hd2's do support 2100, so its no problem.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
typo on my part ... point same though tmous is fine in europe on most 3G & 2G is same on both ...
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
@tanush : thanx man :)

@samsamuel : ok dear, i'll take it as it'll work here :) ...... but please check post #17 in this same thread here >>> post no. 17

@Mister B : so it mean i will be able to use both the 2G and 3G services here in INDIA ?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
As long as the 3G network has 2100mhz support a TMOUS will work 100%.

My TMOUS has work on all 3g networks I tried in Europe & Asia without issue.

International will be your best choice from your comments & is 100% compliant with European & most worldwide networks, probably easier/cheaper model HD2 to source too.
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
can we dual boot 6.5 and 7.5 on this device ?
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
already told you no.... :mad::mad:

search the forum !!! you'll find everything !!
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
well i searched and found nothing on it.......BTW i wanted a reply from one who have tested it personally

Thanx :)
[HD2 General] rawdaddymagraden:
Its not possible because they both use nand memory... dual booting involves one on nand and SD card so that won't work. Perhaps when magldr 2 is out
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
exactly what i told !! :angel::angel:

HTC HD2 airtel net settings

hi everyone,

my brother has just sent me an HTC HD2 phone with android 4.0.4.

i got the phone unlocked since it was T-Mobile.

i am using airtel network but i am not able to access internet on my phone. i called the customer care but even they were not able to help me out. i have no idea about how to apply the settings in order to access net. plz help me :(:(:(:(
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
from my brief googling, airtel seems to use 900 and 1800 for its gsm network, but i could find no specific reference to its 3g network. if it uses one of those two for 3g, then you wont get it, you will only get gprs/edge, since the tmous uses 1700 or 2100 for 3g.

thank you guys for all your replies.......one last question.

i couldn't find a brand new model of International HD2 nor a good used one, i found one from a Hong Kong seller on US ebay but with a quick google search i know now that he was running a SCAM by selling cheap used phones described as NEW.

but the thing is i have found a T-Mobile HD2(used but good condition) on Indian ebay, so you guys suggest me to buy it or its too risky with the ROM ?

Thank you again guys for your help :)
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
There's very little risk. As said by samsamuel, flashing a .51 radio will brick a TMOUS phone, however you almost certainly won't need to flash a new radio.
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
Thanx Nigeldg, but you please explain your 2nd part where you said,"however you almost certainly won't need to flash a new radio"

is that mean there is no need to flash a new radio while flashing a android or 7.5 ROM ?
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
If you buy a TMOUS phone, then it will not be necessary to flash a new radio. It will already be a .50 radio (i.e. compatible with Android and Windows Phone) and the only reason you might want to change it is that changing it may give you a better signal (depending on your area)
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
what if i don't want to flash a radio ?? is it possible ?? if yes than there will be any risks ?
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
I can only assume that you mean 'what if I do want to flash a radio' - it's perfectly possible, and as long as you read carefully there won't be any risk.
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
thanx Nigeldg

@Topic : can we trust on amazon.com as i have seen fraud on ebay now........i don't want to get nailed by online shopping........if its not allowed to ask these questions in here then please tell me where i can ask them ???
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
I'm fairly sure amazon tends to be trustworthy
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
thanx again Nigeldg........i'll update the thread with new info soon........thanx again to everyone:)
[HD2 General] shamiedz:
what is the different T-Mobile HD2 or the HTC HD2 ?
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
please read all the thread and you will get your answer.
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
Both are HTC, the normal way to distinguish between the two is TMOUS or EU/International. TMOUS has 1GB of internal storage vs 512MB on the EU HD2, however it is possible to brick the TMOUS HD2 by flashing a .51 (EU) radio, although this is highly unlikely. In addition, the TMOUS HD2 is very slightly taller due to the T-Mobile logo at the top, and it normally ships with (from what I understand, someone may have to correct me on this) a SanDisk 16GB class 2 whilst the EU only ships with a 2GB class 2 SanDisk card.

One thing I'm not too sure about is that my HD2 (EU) came with a leather pouch, but others' phones haven't, which is confusing.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
HD2 TMOUS is about 1.5mm taller, height difference can be seen under keys as extends a little further as main-board is longer & radio hardware slightly different.

Main easy visual difference of TMOUS is red & green end/call keys. Europe T-Mobile also has logo on top by ear-piece but same white keys as all standard unaltered EU/International models so do not rely on just T-Mobile logo for recognition ...
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
amazon don't ship this phone to India :(

can we trust on amazon sellers ?? i have found a fraud seller on ebay(cellphoneforever) who sells used or refurbished phones.......so i don't wanna get mugged on online shopping :(
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Big problem on all of them as many eBay sellers use amazon ect with same or different names.

Many listed as new will not be.

Many are refurbished stock no longer wanted by service centres ect for warranty exchanges.

Buying online is a high risk due to age of device & fact digitizer issue is common on all variants.

You could try requesting one on here in the sales section.
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
are you stupid !!!

i showed you also that he's not a fraud. just check all the comments left by buyer's.

if 1 in 400 says the phone was refurbished then you think you are at risk?

if you dont feel safe then don't buy it but plz don't point fingers without a proof.

that guys is selling 3-4 htc hd2 everyday for past month. you think all of them are used phones and people are still happy about it ?
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
sales section ???

i don't know about it ? can we trust on it ?

Thanx for your help
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
no Sir i'm not stupid, you just please do a quick google search about that seller and you'll find a lots of answers.

But thanx for your help, i hope you'll get a brand New Phone(including box) :)
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
oh yeah.. i will.. i did my research.. don't worry about it..

but if you think if he's not care to show the proof ?
[HD2 General] tool1523:
hmm

Hmmmm?.. well nvm
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
after that i did the research brother...

talked with the guys present here..... thy also said he's good..

anything else ?

yeah ive read all that ... it happens some time. there's no perfect seller out their, be any site. plus its a 2 year old phone you pretty much run into this risk everywhere.

well, i hope you a 100% trusted seller too.:good:
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
OK, lets wait for your device and i'll order mine too after that :)
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
ok...

well ill just add one more thing though..

in india a second hand hd2 is costlier than the "new" phone that he is selling right ? so even if youre the unlucky one who gets the used phone then also its not bad right ?

plus also check the +ve ratings of this seller.. you'll see why i have faith in him... :)
[HD2 General] amitkool21:
you are right and the 2nd hand phone here in India costs around 11-12 K , but the thing is lots of people says that the phones are stolen they checked the IMEI no. and found them as a stolen device from Europe, and lots of other problems + don't forget the Indian Customs you will get you Item not less than 1 month and may be you'll need to visit your nearest customs office, and if your phone don't work they ask you to mail it to them with no tracking code and +ve ratings are not real every time but the -ve ones are :)

good luck
[HD2 General] hellrokr:
i don't really worry about it...

also.. its reached singapore 2 days back.. so i'll let you know my review... then we can both curse or like it :)
