When i bought my ipod touch (It has the same all glass scratch proof capacitive screen), even i was confident from the youtube videos that show that it's scratch proof. but now i really regret my decision of not putting a screen protector. Because my itouch has about 3-4 scratches on screen due to accidently placing keys and ipod in the same pocket once or twice. I really suggest in long run there should be a screen protector.

Hi Prateek

Got my from Hera Panna, a warranty peace from Tata DoCoMo. Came with ROM 1.48.720 which I found to be brilliant. With the stock 1.48.720 ROM I did not need the SD Card OR SMS Fix. I flashed the 1.61 leaked ROM using the GoldCard method and have noticed the following improvements:

*- Overall speed improvement up to 4x

*- The Touch sensitivity has improved

*- The Touch keyboard is more responsive, very identical to the response rate of an iPhone keyboard, also the alphabets on the keyboard are more clear and darkened in bold.

*- The Sense Music Player loads 2GB of music with Album arts much faster

*- The battery drain on using Microsoft Direct Push + GPRS has improved by 30%

*- The battery charging time has improved drastically.

*- No more random disconnects of Data Connection

*- Now I get notified by sound when a Full Sync via Exchange is complete

*- SMS sound notifications are working every-time.

I never faced a crackling sound with my device, it seems you could have a faulty hardware, I suggest you replace it immediately.

P.S. For better Radio and Battery performance, switch of 3G and HSPDA via Advance Network.

You don't need a scratch guard and NO scratch guard will even fit as the screen is made of Sapphire Glass

[HD2 General] PG101:
Wow Jibreil,

Thanks a ton for the ellaborate information.BTW I dont have th HD2 yet :D Just been following the forums..

So the stock 1.48 was good enough.. without SMS lag/ Voice Crackling? Both are HOT topics in this forum, so was concerned.

I dont know if I will flash 1.61 as I am not too comfy with the goldcart idea.. actually thats maybe cause I dont have it yet :D

But thanks a ton for your response.

[HD2 General] santoshkp:
hd2 india info

guys,

the hd2 in india comes with ROM 1.48. dated 25-11.

there are hot fixes in htc site ...which I have updated.after that its pity much ok.

overall after this I didn't have any probs ..not with msg not even with sound quality..

about screen protection..nothing is required..it comes with glass with higher hardness value which is scratch resistance to daily use...beyond this if u r going then you may need it.. even i have read forum where bottom screen is slightly above than required at bottom right, even that is not there...so enjoy..

I have seen people going to1.61 I am again saying its individual choice..some people try new things some won't..I will stick for few moredayswith official rom once hspl is released I will have custom rom from XDA chefs...

Was I cheated don't know price

I am currently in India and bought mine from hira pana for Rs 47,000. Was I cheated? Also, anyone know how I can stop the keyboard from popping up while using third party programs. All of you are so clever...:D
[HD2 General] Jibreil:
YES you were looted big time! I suggested you fire the guy who sold it to you... ;-)

He's probably made 9k off you... It officially cost Rs.38,500.

Buy your stuff from Hera Panna - Shop 52. CityChain, this guy's 100% genuine and gives a fair deal.
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
To all those who are saying that a Screen Protector is not needed, then you guys are wrong!

Even though it has a Glass screen and glass is scratchproof by nature, you will however with time notice small small rashes which will be clearly visible under direct sunlight (might not be visible under low lighting conditions)

I can say this cause I've owned an iPhone before and also seen various other iPhones too.

So point is, if you want to keep that Big screen safe from even minute scratches, then it'd be better to get a Screen Protector!

Order yourself a ScreenProtector with a Silicon case for just Rs.300 from Ebay (Free Shipping to India)

http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160385328175&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
[HD2 General] Jibreil:
After speaking with many hardware specialist and dealers of phone accessories, they all seem to have one verdict that a screen protector will NOT fit on a Sapphire Glass OR even if it does it won't last long (won't stick itself strongly as it does on other phone surfaces)

None available as of now - unless you can get one custom stitched.
[HD2 General] blackheart2925:
to stop that keyboard popping up, there's a small icon in the center of the bottom tool bar, where the left and right soft keys are there. tapping that enables/disables the popup keyboard.

@Jibrel - there are a lot of screen protector companies out there and they all fit pretty decently...maybe not perfectly but i would say 99% coverage...

i use Martin shields because of two reasons...

1. over a period of time, anything will get scratched as long as its not made from diamond :D tiny tiny scratches which shows up in sunlight

2. i dont like the capacitive screen rubbery feeling, the Martin Fields gives a nice smooth surface for easy movement of finger on the glass...:)
[HD2 General] Jibreil:
Thanks. What's the different between the Single and Twin protection thing on their site.
[HD2 General] Klaus1960:
thanks but there is a problem...
[HD2 General] Klaus1960:
Thanks

I will fire him but I guess there is nothing I can do. He has lost a lot of customers, though as I will tell all friends and business partners not to go near him but to visit the shop you suggest. Thank you for that and have a Merry Christmas!
[HD2 General] PG101:
I thought there was a case included in the box?? as per HTC's claim
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
Ohh thats a valid question! I've seen some Retail unboxing videos wherein the Case is absent! Can anyone confirm that the Indian Retail packaging does indeed come with a Soft Case ??
[HD2 General] beebrox:
I bought mine a week before in India. Mine came with a leather pouch but no other soft case.
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
Oops I meant Pouch, not case. My bad :( So all we need is a good screen guard now...
[HD2 General] Jibreil:
The phone comes with a leather pouch but no case of any sort - so don't be mistaken folks! Merry Christmas to you all.
[HD2 General] blackheart2925:
:D the only difference is in a single pack there are two shields/protectors instead of one :D its just like ordering two single packs instead of one double pack...:cool:
[HD2 General] blackheart2925:
bought it from univercell in chennai...it comes with a leather pouch in the box PLUS a 8GB microSD card...:eek: i was so happy!!

btw the pouch is real tight, at least initially only i hope...taking the phone out of it involves a lot of tugging and pulling!!:( am so scared of pulling the phone out and dropping it...:mad:
[HD2 General] blackheart2925:
then probably it is a bug with the app:confused:...maybe you need to wait until the developers release an updated version...you could also go and drop a post in their forums...

also you could try one of the free keyboards out there...:)

P.S. - my HD2 screen is a bit yellowish all over...anybody else has that? dunno if its cause of the screen protector

hey... i got the hd2 at 35 K with warranty n box sealed in hyderabad at a shop.named technovision ... they giv u good deals.n.got a site as well , juss search online..got a pouch n 8 gb card, no screen protector .. gonna play with the phone now!!
[HD2 General] cdrym:
Got my HD 2 in Delhi on 17 Dec 09 for Rs 35,500 with 2 year warranty and bill. Came with a leather case and 8 Gb memory card. Really love the phone and it is a big improvement over the Touch HD I have been using since January this year. I have had no problems with any of the issues as described in the forum. The sound is crystal clear and the SMS operations function perfectly while the pictures come out clear with no pinkish hues. The ROM version is 1.48.720.2 and I have installed the four Hot-fixes available on the HTC customer care site. I have loaded Map my India Black Edition Mireo v 3.0 build 2.3.3394522 on both the Touch HD and HD 2. It is working perfectly on both phones. It used to take around 1 to 2 minutes to get a satellite fix in the Touch HD when in the open, while the HD 2 takes 2 to 3 sec when indoors. The moment I start the programme the GPS fires ups and gets a fix instantly. However after loading the programme initially on the phone it did not attach the GPS even though the phone was kept in the open for over 30 mins even though the quickGPS had been updated. suddenly 3 days ago while I was trying to load some other software as a substitute, the GPS attached on its own and since then it has worked like a charm. The 4.3 inch screen is truly a wonderful site to look at. I highly recommend the phone for purchase.
[HD2 General] PG101:
HI,

Where in Delhi did you buy it? Would that guy trade in my HD too? Dont want two phones.

Thanks
[HD2 General] Tanmay®:
Whoa! Thats Cheap!! Here in Mumbai I can't find any shop selling it less than 38,500!

And good to know that the Indian version comes with 8Gb Card as opposed to Europeans 2Gig :D

My Touch HD is in excellent state with no scratches, loaded a whole load of software on board and along with a leather case designed for the phone (Rs 2100) but the shopkeeper was only offering Rs 16000-17000, while similar second hand Touch HDs were selling for Rs 20000 to 22000 in other shops in the area. So decided to keep the phone as it was bought in Italy (TIM) as a gift from someone close. Now most probably my wife will use the phone.

Used to hv an iphone previously got fed up with apple not releasing 3gs in India, got this instead and now I realize it was a good decision in the end, HD2 is much better [I do miss the app store] but almost all similar apps are available on win mobile, and I guess the no of apps for HD2 and similar devices will grow gradually, because it has much better processing speed and ram and all.

Hi Santosh, I bought mine in Hyderabad . . . didn't even have to pay for it, I just exchanged my old 3GS (Factory Unlocked) for a brand new HTC HD2 (Unlocked) it was a straight-up exchange. I'm on BSNL 3G service here and was initially facing problems with the Artemis 5.0 Rom, lots of call drops etc so I switched over to factory 1.66 Rom & all the issues have been cleared now. Weird cuz 1.66 Rom & Artemis Rom have the same radio if I recall.

If you pay cash in Hyderabad you can buy it (New) for around 25 to 30 k m8.

It's an awesome phone & the 800x480 Res is just mind blowing. Cheers.

I got My HTC HD2 In Bangalore @ Sangeetha Mobile Store in CMH Road & got it for Rs. 28,300 /-. I went to Sat Guide & Bought there Software which I Didn't like as it's not at all user Friendly & not very Accurate. Most of the Road's are not updated in Sat Guide's Map's. I used it for 1 week in Bangalore & it's Really not Worth the Money i Bought for. Waiting to try Map My India Software on my HD2 Lets C. I Still Don't have much Faith on them, But if you have seen Co-pilot Live 8 That's an Amazing Software. Wish They Could come up with maps from India.
[HD2 General] krumbs:
Got mine in Jan in Bangalore (Wavetel, for around 34k). have experimented with various ROMs and versions. must have flashed the device over 20 times so far.

i think the best combination of radio and ROM that has worked for me is the CleanEX DsE v7.0 with 2.10.50.19_2 radio. no crashes, no static... and the phone is fast!

Loving it. Currently i have four different phones - iphone 3g, motorola milestone, nexus one, and the htc hd2. love the hd2 the best. the screen is simply amazing. the only downside is windows mobile. totally crappy OS still stuck in the stylus days.

i am patiently waiting for android to be ported to the hd2. once that happens, this will be a perfect phone.
[HD2 General] karan_736:
Has HD2 been discontinued bt HTC in India? i ve been trying to get my hands on it for the past one week and almost all the big vendors(Univercell, Hotspot, Sangeetha mobiles) are saying they are not expecting any new stock as HD2 mini has been launched and HTC is promoting that mobile in india.Very sad , if this is true.

Oh by the way i am in Bangalore.

Popping and cracking sound

The popping and cracking sound is terrible & very persistant & irritating. I use the Airtel Bangalore network. Since the music and other tones from the earpiece & headset are O.K, I'm 100% sure that it is a ROM cum Radio problem. I"m currently on the shipped (stock) ROM of 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE & 2.06.51.07 Radio.

Has anyone been able to fully solve this issue with a different combination of ROM & RADIO. HTC support (Web & email) is pathetic. My advice to folks is NOT to buy this phone till HTC solves this problem. It is unfortunate that a device that costs 36k plus can't even do the basic thing that it was meant for i,e Making & receiving reasonably acceptable phone calls

[General Questions and Answers] gleff1:
Hi all,

I have an australian HTC Dream (G1) and I'm finding some issues that is possibly pointing me in the direction of needing to root my phone.

Eg. I'm running out of available storage space on the phone for all my apps, and I'm finding most paid applications I want don't seem to be available to me in the australian android market.

Can someone answer these questions for me regarding rooting my phone?

1. If I use Market Enabler (which I assume I need), will I be accessing the australian android market, or the USA version?

2. Will the interface look and feel different to the stock one?

3. Currently i'm running cupcake 1.5. If my carrier releases future updates over the air, will I be able to just install it ota and have it revert to an unrooted phone?

4. Do I need to do anything specific if rooting my phone in Australia?

I guess what i'm concerned about is if any really cool enhancements happen to future versions eg. I hear 2.x will have massive improvements to the market, will I be able to take advantage of it with my rooted phone, or will I always be stuck with hacked roms?.

I've got lots more questions, but will start with these. I'm just very nervous about doing this. Any australians that have done it, can you give me some tips?

Thanks
