[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] indyjonesUK:
Thanks Phil,

That kinda summs up where I am, the HD2 is an awesome speced phone but too big for me really, plus I have just got a 4.3" screen Archos 605 which will do a better job with video playback due to the higher colour pallet.

I think I just need to pay the money and get something, if something new comes out then a upgrade is a year away or just have to sell the TD2 and buy it sim-free worst comes worst. I know the TD2 has been out 6 month, but with the version just released in the USA I think it will most likely be sticking about for a while.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] AceofSpades25:
It's about 2/3 the thickness of the Topaz (about as thin as a pencil)

I see they've just added it to their products list I think it looks awesome!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
I'm glad that some people realize how uncomfortably big HD2 is, and people who are waiting for this device will surely realize that once they get a hold of it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] indyjonesUK:
Thank you everyone for you help,

Just ordered my Diamond 2 ! Very excited it will be replacing my old W850i
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
Yeah but the Pure is on AT&T. Most people wouldn't want to switch over for many reasons. Like they are under contract, They Have a better plan than they can get on AT&T, Their network coverage is better.

And for people like me we love unlocked phones. We travel internationally and it's great to just swap sim cards without having to call the SP to unlock the phone. It's just worth it to pay the moey. Especially when your the only one to have it an people ask what phone it is and if they can get it. And I say In 6-12 months mebe. :D ok I don't say that but I would.

And for me I have a $40 my faves plan with 1500 txt messages and $5.99 unlimited data plan on T-Mo. I pay about $56 after taxes and all a month. I can use every feature of the phone and it works great on edge an T-mo has nothing to say about it.

The HD2 seems big. The HD seemed big but over the summer I got to actually see one in person while in Greece and I regreted not buying it over the TD2. It was smaller and thinner than I thought and it fit comfortably in my hand. The extra money it would have cost over the TD2 though is what initially changed my mind If I new how it looked in person I woulda paid the extra money.

If the HD2 isn't much bigger I may opt for it. But I hate txting on capacitive screens. Txting is so much faster, easier, and accurate on resistive screens.

That's right.Thinner is better.

Actually read my first response above. 3rd paragraph. If people see it in person they may change their minds as I did with the HD. I would love to see it in person first before I buy it but many people may be surprised.

Make a paper/cardboard cut out of the size and try to imagine it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
Getting the phone unlocked is super easy...don't make a big deal out of it. I would love to pay less and get tmobile but I find tmobile's reception inferrior to att. HD2 may be thinner than D2 but why are you bringing up just the thinnes? What about the height 120.5 vs 107.9? What about width 67 vs 53.1? Now that's some difference.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
comparing it to the TD2 there would be a differnce. but after holding a Touch HD the hight and wiidth didnt matter much because the thinness made up for it. especially when in the pocket.

What i was saying that if the HD2 wasnt much bigger than the HD than its worth it. The original HD was iphone sized with a larger screen. The HD 2 is a little taller and wider but thinner. a few mm aint that big a difference. But before i make final judgnent like i did with the HD I'd like to see it in person.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
Hd is at the maximum tolerable size I think, and I quite like the design. Looks much more modern than HD2. Few mm on a phone is very noticable.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Link278:
Personally, i was gonna get a diamond 2 but... yesterday the hd2 got anounced.... so i think im gonna wait a little while longer because the specs on the hd2 are amazing
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
Touche` on it being nicer than the HD2. It's really not that more noticable. Only if you have a smaller phone up against it.

_____HD_____HD2_____Difference

H: 4.358in ___ 4.74in ___ 0.382in or 1/3" Taller

W: 2.472in ___2.64in ___ 0.168in or 1/6" Wider

T: 0.47in ___ 0.43in ___ 0.04in or 1/25in Thinner

Really not that big of a defference. the biggest defference is in the hight which is nearly half an inch bigger. If a few mm on a phone is that noticable the 1mm difference in thickness must mean that the HD2 is super slim compared to the HD.

I'm done defending a phone I'm not buying. I will wait for the HD3 or an HTC HD-Like phone that has Android. As of right now resistive screens are the best for typing and capacitive is great for everything else. Sucks that the HD2 has no Zoom-Bar. Pinch to Zoom is retarded. I like one handed use of my phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
I think Hd2 is kind of a test device with more similarly equiped handsets to come in a smaller, better looking package.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
kinda how the Topaz is the same as the HD just smaller. makes sense and I wouldnt doubt that. I just wanna see what they announce this FEB. at MWC. Diamond3 and TP3?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizophrenia:
I am just curious, how much "Free Memory" (RAM) do you have when you just turn on the phone and turn on Advanced Task Manager/System Monitor etc?

And how much "free memory" do you have when you have used your phone for a while even though you have killed all the tasks you do not want?

In my case, mine is:

Free Memory:

Just turn on: up to 80M (32 processes)

After a while of using different apps and killing them: can be down to early 30M or late 20M (with the same number of processes)

What is yours? Let's share it and see how your memory is doing. I want to see if mine is normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
Been of for about a day and a half

Free MEM: 93MB

Processes: 22
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizophrenia:
****, you have that much, what is wrong with mine?

Point is, there are many apps that I am not sure if i can kill them. e.g. HTC sense, customization setting, customization setup, socialnetwork.provider, HTC media uploader, DCS CHT component, weather provider, provider.settings, DCS weather component, DSC service, service.stock etc.

These I always leave them on. I wonder which apps are taking up the most mem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
Nothing, i've rooted time and removed apps like Stock and QuickOffice etc..

And i've also removed Peep for twitroid as peep was a resource hog.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Poke_N_PDA:
I went to a Sprint Store today and one of the reps had a Hero he had gotten over the weekend in preparation for the launch on the 11th. I got pics of the ROM info page while I was there. Someone who knows more than me can see if this includes the ROM update from HTC and if there is any other valid info. Considering he got this on friday and the release is the 11th I think this will likely be the version that is on the launched device.

IF THERE IS ANY INFO IN THESE PICS THAT REVEALS THE IDENTITY OF THE SPRINT REP PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN EDIT THEM. I DON'T WANT TO GET HIM IN TROUBLE.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Poke_N_PDA:
eh, maybe I'm late to the game. Or maybe no one cares.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] amirica:
That's the same ROM that my phone has. The phone you saw was an advocate phone, not a final release version. Our ROM isn't final, since we cannot download Pandora (only available on official ROMs). There is a lot of talk that the final production version will have Donut (1.6) since it's the only Android ROM that supports CDMA. My guess is that the advocate ROM is a modified version of Cupcake, and there will be an update available at or near launch. Hopefully. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hkr:
Don't get confused by the marketing name 'Hero'.

The Sprint 'Hero' is not a branded Hero for Sprint like the 'G2 Touch' for T-Mobile. It is a new device, built for Sprint with different features like CDMA, Android 1.6 and - most obviously - very different in hardware design. It has only two hardware buttons compared to six on the original Hero.

HTC's roots go back to manufacture OEM devices for big providers, and the Sprint 'Hero' is such a device. If Sprint wants an ugly version (my personal point of view) of the Hero and pay for it, they can have it ...

The Sprint 'Hero' is not as close to the original Hero as the new Tattoo. But marketingwise Sprint seems to need a 'Hero' :p
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Ehhh? Apart from the radio, the Sprint 'Hero' specs are pretty much identical to the GSM Hero, and the Tattoo is *nothing* like either????

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
you might wanna recount, i see the same six buttons on the sprint as on my htc, they are just different shape and not single buttons, just count the symbols around the trackball!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Indeed - whilst the other buttons look more like "touch sensitive" buttons, rather than "click push" buttons, it doesn't change the fact that they are hardware buttons.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hkr:
That's what I wrote 'hardware buttons' are buttons you can press on and get physical feedback ...

The other 4 are sensors or sensitive areas, this is really different. If you don't believe me, compare the Touch HD and Diamond 2 ... I personally like 'real' buttons for a few actions like phone on and off, home and menu ...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
It is only different with respect to the physical mechanism, which is going to be part of the case. The actual phone innards itself won't know any different.

The point is that, radio aside, the Sprint Hero is much, much, closer to the original Hero than it is a Tattoo, which is a *completely* different device (lower screen res, resistive screen, no track ball, lower memory etc, etc, etc).

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
According to this phonedog.com video review of the Sprint Hero, that area isn't actually a touch panel anyway and the device does have physical buttons underneath the panel which are depressed when you press the appropriate area.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Poke_N_PDA:
I used the phone and those are in fact hardware buttons. You press them, they move, you get physical feedback. They aren't touch surfaces. Sorry to call you out here, but I believe I can since I have used the phone (though briefly). Just because they are flush with each other and not separated buttons like the dial and end keys doesn't mean they don't move. Plastic flexes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lessthantito:
Sprint Hero uses a hacked version of Cupcake 1.5 with the Donut 1.6 CDMA stack added in and maybe a couple of other things. There have also been problems with apps from the new market for 1.6 not installing/working correctly with this version of the Hero because of it still being 1.5. SPRINT/GOOGLE/HTC can we get some info on what the deal is with this I want Donut on my Hero and or Samsung Moment
[General Questions and Answers] KeeganX:
I am from the USA, and I purchased a Rogers HTC Magic from ebay. The phone is pretty much is bricked. I can't access any kind of hard reset hitting the different button combinations. I call HTC to see if I can do it under the 1 year warranty. HTC tells me they can't repair Rogers cell phone only Rogers can. I called Rogers and asked if I could replace under the manufactuer warranty. They tell me I must be a Rogers subscriber to do that. I'm lost here guys. Does anyone know of a repair place, or a way I can get it replaced under the 1 year warranty?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljnick19:
Looked at the sticky, but did not see this issue. It was happening on my cyan builds once I went to donut. I swapped, updated all, wipe, install per instructions, but the prob found me again. This time I am not the official 1.6(DRC83, 2.22.19.26I) Anyone else have this happen to them?

Fixes?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljnick19:
Okay, so the time ranges between 30 seconds and a minute.

From what I am seeing, I may have to revert back to stock settings and give it a go. If that works, then I will attempt to ROOT again.

I only began having this issue after I upgraded to 1.6 via cyanogen.

I swapped ROMs hoping to solve the issue ( thought it may have been b/c of the experimental/beta version)

But after being on this build for one day, I am already experiencing the issue again. I even went as far as repartitioning and wiping before I started so it would be a clean slate.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfolo:
ljnick19, this is an interesting problem. What call settings are enabled for you when this happens?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljnick19:
I have made zero changes to the standard setup there. All is normal. I have not fully customized since I applied the ROM b/c of time constraints. Just getting basic apps back on from the market.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
The HTC recovery may have messed your radio up. Try reflashing the radio.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljnick19:
Thanks for the input! I was worried no would have any ideas. I'll give that a shot. Now when reflashing the radio, do I need to do the whole-radio, spl, rom, wipe thing? Or just radio?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljnick19:
I am also using Ra v1.2.2 recovery, could that be causing issues w/ 1.6, Donut ROMs?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljnick19:
One more issue to add: AdvancedLauncher (processandroid.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. FC almost every time i press the home button. Made the mistake of making advanced launcher my default home button action...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
For the launcher make sure you have the latest version. Then reinstall or run fix permissions. U only have to flash the radio, and the recovery should only affect flashing the roms
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljnick19:
Thanks a mill for the help, I really thought this was going to fall flat. I'll attempt later this afternoon and post results.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljnick19:
For those of you that took a moment to not only read, but to assist, THANK YOU!

Results are:

I went from OTA 1.6 to Cyan 4.1.999

I wiped and repartitioned the sd as well as redoing the radio

So far, I have not experienced any FC's. Unfortunately, I have not made a lot of calls either. Crazy thing was that on the OTA build today, calls seemed to be functioning, but the FC's were excessive.

I also ran fix permissions as well as cleared the dalvik cache.

Again, thanks for the support. I hope to pass it on if I am ever able to help, it is appreciated!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] genesis123:
I have CID/SIM unlocked my phone and am currently running rom version 1.08 that shipped with it.

When I try to update to version 2.26 or even downgrade to the button rom, i start the process and the progress bar on my screen is on 0%, my screen then turns dark and i lose my connection, when the screen pops back on the 3 color screen, my connection is not regained and after a few seconds the installer goes into recovery steps, where i reinstall my battery and restart the phone that has the same rom as before

I have tried this on windows 7 with device center and windows xp with active sync 4.5
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Kyle_Dalton:
I'm having a similar issue. Doesn't matter what ROM I choose it hangs at zero percent and but it's thinking about something because one of my cpu's runs at 90-100% for an hour before I just give up. Are you running the XP Virtual PC in Windows 7 or just booting directly into XP? Theorectically it shouldn't matter but its the only thing I can think of that would cause any issues. I'm going to pull my old P4 out and boot it into XP and give it a try if I can't get it done through the Virtual XP mode with Windows 7.
[General Topics] Snarksneeze:
A few days ago I "accidentally" downloaded what I had thought was WinXP Black from a Rapidshare account. The download was surprisingly quick and when I unrar'd the package, I saw the file "RUU_SIGNED.NBH", which I immediately deleted.

Why, you may ask, did I just delete it? 'Cause I had no idea what phone it was set for and I have no intention of bricking my phone with an unknown ROM. Since I don't have an emulator, or even know if I could have run a image like that with one, I deleted it and moved on.

The next day, I came home to find that my ISP had cut me off. A call to them revealed that a "Content Provider" had complained against my IP addy and accused me of downloading "Windows 7". A quick conversation cleared things up and I was back on the 'Net in no time flat.

Now, I know that this forum does not condone piracy. I respect that, but I have to ask; Does anyone think that the "Windows 7" file that I was supposed to have acquired might just have been the unreleased WinMo7 that was supposed to be floating around Japan or something back in the spring?

Has anyone actually used it, even by "accident"? Curious about the fact that they are still working on 6.5 but 7 might actually be out there...

[General Topics] Brendo:
you could always undelete it ;)
[General Topics] Snarksneeze:
Unable to "undelete" it 'cause I run Linux (OpenSuSE 11.1, KDE4). I always shift-del when I get rid of something 'cause I always forget to take out the trash until I get a warning about the folder size ;-)

What I found most curious of all was that the rep told me it was "Windows 7" that I was in trouble for. Not "Windows Mobile 7". I've read that Balmer has been busting on Google for having multiple OS's for multiple platforms, and a few bloggers mentioned that Redmond was considering calling winmo 7 "Windows 7", the same as the PC platform. If that is true, then it just may be that there actually is a copy of the early-release floating around out there and folks are trying to keep quiet about it because of how easy it is to trace it back to the hardware-testing source.

By the way, my ISP is "Grande Communications", I think they resell for RoadRunner, but I can't stand by that.

The G1 radio is hard coded to run off of the signals that TMO uses, so it WILL work on other carriers, but you wont have 3G access.

Secondly, TMO fixed the SK loophole a long time ago. Your best bet would be to upgrade to the G1 prepaid plan and you'll have full functionality. IIRC, it's only 5 bucks more.

I searched through the forums and even searched on google and found no results, to save the trouble of reposting twice. Now lets start, I used to own the T-Mobile Wing n it came with this adapter(http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=21968&cat=4322) it worked with the phone fine, found out about touch pro got it loved it ever since. Now one day the Wing's adapter short-circuited.. I even dipped in water to try to restore it (I know! Jus being curious). So I like to talk on the phone n charge sooo useful but it all ended. This is the headset I used n love because it has volume control

( http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=15719&cat=4323)

from a ebay seller brand new. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-HTC-4-...86.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo=LVI&itu=UCI&otn=3&ps=63)
