[HD2 General] Bouloama:
You can see everything to this guy..but he is right about the poor call quality. I had the same on 3 different HTC HD2 units.. cracking and popping!

Nice to see you are able to buy something that suites your needs :)
[HD2 General] maati:
Strange...

I have NONE of the problems you listed above.

Except for the camera bug, but that one exists on other phones as well and is not noticeable on most pictures - the camera is still better than most other smartphones.

OK, here's my take:

1- Call quality is really good. Loud and clear, no stuttering whatsoever. Not the best voice quality ever but better than most other smartphones.

2- SMS: I didn't have a problem with SMS, but it seems like some people do. Hovever, disabling HTC Messaging is really easy and the problem is solved. That's really nothing to complain about.

3- Device is ALWAYS fast. Yesterday I saw that I had TomTom running in the background for several days and I didn't even notice it, because the device NEVER slows down, no matter how much stuff you have running and for how long. Other devices, even my iPhone 3G, needed soft resets a lot more often because they became slow.

4- Must be a hardware fault. Things like this can happen, no matter how expensive the phone is.

5- Can't confirm this either. I've NEVER seen such a high build quality on any phone. Any other phone feels like a cheap toy in comparison to the HD2.

6- See above. All HD2' have this, but other phones have it as well and the HD2's camera is still much better than a lot of other smartphone cameras, and it's really among the best cameras you can find in a smartphone.

7- Battery life is not great, but sufficient. Sure, the Touch HD had great battery life and the HD2 can't come close - but still the HD2's battery life is average for a smartphone.

Sure, the HD2 is not perfect, but no other phone is perfect either. The HD2 is certainly THE smartphone that comes closest to being perfect. There is no better one.

And by the way: Don't you think it's a bit stupid to open threads like this?

What makes you think that people care about whether you sell your device or not? There's clearly something wrong with you if you need to post threads like this!
[HD2 General] DennisMoore:
Well, there are alway people that like phones and people that don't like phones.

I like my HD2 very much. It has just two issues from your list. Nr. 6 and Nr. 7.

Ok, Nr. 3 is a "half issue".

The device slows down when too many applications run simultaneously, but not when I install too many. There might be around 20 additional apps on my HD2 and it runs like after a hard-reset. When I launch 5-9 Apps, the device slows down, but that shouldn't be a surprise.

The bottom-line for me is, that the HD2 is almost perfect for me. My List of issues is:

- The photo-issue (we all know what is meant)

- Battery life could be better, even with 1.48 instead of 1.43

- The keyboard reacts on the slightest touch, which is not very comfortable for me while typing. (maybe there is a fix available, if so I didn't find it by now)

- The camera-lens stands out a little from the rest of the device-backside. If they decide that it is necessary, they should have softened the borders more. Maybe with rubber or plastic.

For me there is no showstopper-bug in the device. I hope that one or two issues are resolved by softwareupdates in the future. All over all, I'm quite satisfied with the HD2 and I think the price is OK.
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Big mistake. I am on my second HD2 on the o2 1.43 ROM, and now have no issues what-so-ever (touch wood). The first one crashed when using headphones and I couldnt hear the person on the other end when I initiated the call.

Now that I have a fully functioning machine, it is great! You will regret selling it.
[HD2 General] scanie:
There are several fixes for that, I use this one and it makes it a bit easier to type.

[HD2 General] maati:
No device is perfect. The question is: How close to perfect can you get?

What people don't realize, is, that no matter how expensive a phone is, it will never be perfect. And no matter how expensive it is, hardware faults can always happen.

Assuming the 7 issues above exist, how about other phones? I'm sure I could list AT LEAST twice as many issues for ANY other phone - Droid, Satio, iPhone... it doesn't matter, they all have problems and the all have A LOT more problems or limitations that restrain them from being perfect.

You won't get a perfect device, no matter how much you pay - but the HD2 is, in my opinion, by all means the closest you can get to perfect.

If small issues like that SMS bug are already enough to make you sell your device - good luck finding another one, I'm sure you won't because every other phone has much more serious issues!
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
The problem is that we are too demanding.

I don't have any of those issues: only once I had a SMS that wasn't sent. Rebooted the device and voila... SMS sent.

The voice quality it's very loud, it's always in the minimum, and clear.

Battery, there are not much devices that can perform better. My ancient Raphael had lower life battery, doing the same things.

And the 0.5mm "problem"?!

Just out of curiosity, which phone you consider to be best than the HD2?
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and to start their own thread. At least he took the time to tell us why he sold his device and whether we agree or disagree with his reasons is not important. Most of us like this device, with all of its shortcomings, and are willing to spend time in optimizing it, others cannot live with that and sell it. Both parties should be respected and treated that way.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Im a member since 2004 and have been with xda and htc since 2003, flashed almost every htc device and work I even for Nokia and never carried a Nokia phone so you need too much time to understand what I mean :)

XDA BlueAngel, HTC TouchPro2, HTC HD are very good devices.

Search in the Leo forum about the number of faulty, returned, swapped etc. devices and it has not been out for more than 1 month. The rate is a complete failure.

Go read the polls. 27/110 find the earpiece a total worthless crap wherease 27/110 find it good. The other are somehow neutral.. That is 50% of the people ARE NOT happy with it.

Screen jittering: 60% have no problem whatsoever but 40% DO have. If that is good as results, you need to take some math courses.

I do not want a perfect phone, it's just that I am not ready to pay that much for such a buggy high fault rate phone.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Listen, this thread is not to annoy anyone. Go read how many threads are like : Do you like the lea? how good is the leo? do you think i should by a leo, leo vs bla bla , is it worth buying the leo.. etc...

Everybody knows that people at HTC read the forum. And when I open a thread complaining, I address my parol to HTC not for smartass people like you. Spar me your advices and comments.
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
unfortunately I disagree with you on this one. Maybe he just wants to share with this community why he thinks that the HD2 is not a good device and future buyers may do with that whatever they want.

At least he is honest.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Trust me, they are already flooded with tons of e-mails full of complaints :)
[HD2 General] maati:
The he should post this in one of the threads already available!

"Use the search before opening a new thread!" also applies to posts like his.
[HD2 General] Lennart88:
If you say you won't call him stupid, because you won't go that low...then also don't say his mind is limited, its basically the same...

So please stop all this arguing, and saying how bad the HD2 is. I'm not gonna say how good or how bad it is, cause there are always people who think different.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Hi Xeon,

Sounds like you were just unlucky.

I have NONE of the problems you have described except for the camera issue. The fix for the camera is already being tested (according to the Vodafone UK device team) so it should be with us shortly.

This device has totally exceeded my expectations... it is truly epic.

I have been using winmo for many many years (probably about 15 years in total) starting off with PDA's then consolidating my mobile devices into winmo pda phones. Ive been there, seen it and done it ALL with windows mobile.

The HTC HD2 is BY FAR the best device i have ever had the pleasure to work with.
[HD2 General] Fallen Spartan:
By request I've opened this thread again and cleaned a few posts. If it continues in a flaming manner if will be closed permanently
[HD2 General] 12aon:
Going to close this thread now because this is becoming uncivil
[HD2 General] maati:
Then why is it open again?

That's the point. Are those thousands of happy users all opening threads to tell everyone how much they like their HD2's? NO.

So why do those few who don't like it think that they must tell everyone?! There's clearly something wrong with people opening threads like this.

Threads like this don't help anyone. If you think they do, then it would be necessary that everyone who likes the device opens a thread as well.

And in general, we don't open threads for things that have been discussed before. This applies to questions and to complaints as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
I saw this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=596925

...and it got me thinking. (I know scary right?) ...but it would be a good idea to have benchmarks for all the roms out there. That way, you could actually see hard numbers to see the real differences between the roms. Now, I know nothing about the benchmark programs out there, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience on which ones were better than others. A quick search turned up

http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/tag-_benchmark.html

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/benchmark

http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Developer-Tools/Benchmarks/

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/tag-benchmark.html

So, my question is, anyone have any experience with any of these or something better? I wouldn't mind running some benchmarks myself to see the difference in performance between some of the roms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
Hmmmmm...

I thought for sure someone would reply to this. After further searching, seems like spb benchmark might be the way to go. Now, wouldn't it be a good idea to have benchmarks for all the roms? I would love to see the performance differences between them all. Any input?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cameraddict:
HI Dougstoner,

Short answer here is probably no. At least that is the answer I got when I suggested a Rom Wiki that had a user rating system. I was told that cooks would not want to see how their roms compared to others.... go figure.

I think it is a great idea. I am thinking about making the wiki.. when I have time. So if you do these benchmarks I would love if you would share them there...

I think this is valuable info. Especially for those with limited time.

Thanks. And goo luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
What's up Cameraddict? Thanks for the response btw...

Well, I'm not trying to have users rate the roms, I would just be interested in the performance differences between them all. I have installed spb benchmark, but it takes 30 mins to run the benchmark, so I'll have to wait until I get home first. I'll run it tonight, but I think it would be a great resource for everyone to see. How much easier would it be to see which roms actually run faster, or which one has better drivers for graphics? I think it could be used as a tool to see if there are improvements in rom updates, drivers, etc...

Also might help the cooks out to see which versions work better than others as far as functionality goes. Again, my intent is not to say one rom is better than others, just to see the specs of them.

I'll run it tonight and test the rom I'm currently using, but if enough people want to see this, I might start doing it for all the roms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hotspace:
I'd be interested in reading about your comparisons. :):)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gold:
actually i was wondering about other tp2 users' benchmark results also and started this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=586598

but only 2 people replied. and one of them had much higher results than me using a custom rom which kind of explains why this is important.

needless to say i think it's a great idea too and i will share my results when i get spb benchmark
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ryotgz:
Would be interesting to know how big of a difference a rom can make.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I've thought about this as well. I have a lot of experience with Wikidot and their modules, and could assist in building a system for users to review and rate ROMs, and various means of categorizing them if you're interested in some help.

I think it would be a great resource.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SlimJ87D:
This is a great idea. I am willing to bench the custom rom I am using and report it in.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pheenyx:
Hi fellows,

I'm on the edge of selling my beloved KS20 as I feel that I don't need such a powerfull device anylonger.

Well it turns out that the price dropped to low 160€ - Having to buy a new phone after selling my Corona I would end up with no more than 100€s. Surely, this does not sound convincing, so I might end up keeping it.

Still - as much as I enjoyed WM - I am wondering if it is possible to put a different OS on the phone. Are there hardware restrictions or something like that? Wich OSes would work on the KS20? Maybe some Linux-based like the OS of the new ELSE-Phone?

Thx for all advice, Pheenyx

PS: Don't ask me why I would like to put smth. diff. than WM on my Phone. I love WM, but I am simply interested how putting a different OS on the Phone would work :D

Nothing else than WinMo really works on KS20.

Yes I notice that myself. How do you clear the Youtube cache? I was able to do it on my Touch HD but not the HD2 as i can select all and just delete (control) unmark the other folders , etc with Total commander.

I manually deleted the temp file in the YouTube folder using resco file explorer . I don't use htc album now. instead resco photo manager which is a lot better , faster and more features.

So i installed and open AOE, but the game rotate to the right side. I cant play the game with the keyboard slide out because when the keyboard is out, the game would be upside. Is there a way to rotate the game to the left side like normal? thanks:confused:

In alot of games and apps for PocketPC they have settings to sontrol which way it flips, in fact, it would be really stupid not to, because alot of phones flip the other way as well.

If all else fails, try looking for a settings file to edit the screen rotation and display resolution, or even attempt using WVGA fix if your that desperate.

Hi perhaps one of your gurus can help me. I recently installed pocket informant on my TP2. To launch it, I need to go start, then select all applications, and scroll to find it. Pocket informant seems to have added close to 20 or more "apps" now. so the "all applications" list just doubled or tripled in length. Is there a way to have that "all applications" list be folder based? its not fun using about 5 or 6 finger scrolls to get to the bottom of the list for the other apps I want to launch.

Sure. Go to \Windows\Startmenu\Programs\WebIS (may also be called "PocketInformant") and delete the shortcuts you don´t need. The exact path may differ slightly, depending on the language version you are using.
