I recieved my HD2 last week and it is by far the best phone (on whatever platform) that I have ever owned. It came with -

ROM - 1.48.405.2

I applied all of the HTC hotfixes and I have not had ANY problems at all. Wifi is brilliant, no SMS issues at all and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I would suggest that if anyone has S**t loads of issues - it is Roguexmg....
[HD2 General] Roguexmg:
This is what im talking about, Some IDIOT that posts because he has had the phone for a week, A FREAKING WEEK, what on EARTH WOULD YOU KNOW when you only had it for a week, and then you have the audacity to TUNE ME??!?!?!
[HD2 General] nalab1:
Roguexmg,

Take yer face for a s**te...

I have forgotten more about Windows Mobile and computing than you could ever know....

If you don't like the phone, flog it on ebay and get yourself a nuetered ipfoney... that would be more up your street... a brane dead fone for a brane dead person....
[HD2 General] tmaniac:
dude, your temper is way outta bounds.

Have the phone for 2 months now and i am really happy with it.

If you take more time reading and less time complaining you would dive in the joys of flashing radio's/roms to your device.

i did notice some issues in the beginning. But, when i upgraded my radio rom and flashed another firmware on the phone it was just a sheer joy to have the phone.

The looks, The speed, The quality...The Community.

Once you appreciate that, you'll appreciate the phone.

I suggest you buy an iphone, then you don't need to think so you can't complain.

(Since English is not my native language, please don't mind any grammatical errors)
[HD2 General] creed:
Makes sense to me when you take into account that they were also trying to sell the iphone at the same time but Apple were putting pressure on them to drop the HD2 because they feared lost sales. So Voda decided that while HD2 would be a lot more popular than they'd anticipated they couldn't piss Apple off because the iphone would still be the bigger seller. In an ideal world I am sure Voda would have liked to have sold both phones!

Make sense?
[HD2 General] DMAND:
Yup same with O2 and their stupid Palm Pre exclusivity! At least they lost iphone exclusivity and had the sence to stock HD2's even if it was intially only for people upgrading.

So make perfect sence that in that way they were limiting a popular handset by mkaing it only available gradually since its now on their website almost a month and a half after it was made available
[HD2 General] Roguexmg:
your the one thats brain dead and denies any issues with his fone, or perhaps its your lack of experience to identify them.
[HD2 General] nalab1:
Thats because I haven't got any issues with my phone... it does everything... email,web,sms,sat nav.... oh and makes and recieves phones calls as well...

Probably a bit too complicated for you....

How old are you? I guess mentally about 5....

Oh, and a retard to boot....

I guess that you probably cant read ... certainly not the manual....
[HD2 General] tmaniac:
Can i ask, when you ask your friends for thier opinion...do you flame them aswel for giving thier opinion?

You asked us what we think of the phone and the conlcusion so far is that YOU are the only one who is having trouble.

Hence the question rises; have you read through the forum? Or have you only registered an account here to piss everyone off?
[HD2 General] nalab1:
100% agree with you on that one tmaniac! I tend to really hammer my phones... (usage wise that is! lol!) and I have had no problems with my HD2 so far... prior to this phone I had an X1 which was HSPL'd and I was flashing it sometimes 3 or 4 times as day!
[HD2 General] avathar behemoth:
hey ... what can i say...i have no *real* issues with my hd2.

only thing( couple of things) is the overexposure on the pics. i did switch to classis view sms cus i didnt like the threading.. i found it incomplete. but... id rather call then sms anyway. i dont take pics everyday! especially in low light.

ive got to say:" i luvs my hd2" :D

the screen is brilliant, battery life is good if you dont go wifi and 3g all the time. no probs when i do go online btw.

this phone works! i got a ps1 emulator on it !!! most excellent! 50fps!

damn dewd... only thing is wish for is more applications... but it serves its pupose beautifully!
[HD2 General] chris_ah1:
My 2ds on the issue:

1) Vodafone pulled HD2 because it was too popular and margins were not great. It can still be got from other P4U and mobile phones direct and business. And apple gave an incentive - whoever sells the most 3Gses might get the 4G. If you look at the vodafone handset lineup they are all HIGH margin cheap devices - like their 360. The iphone is merely a fashion thing to catchup with everyone else.

2) Vodafone are likely to **** up with the Nexus supply.

3) All my handsets in London switch between 3G and 2G quite a lot. Many other issues can cause intermittent reception, even orientation of the device.

4) My nokia E65 which is an old tried and true 11b device has **** wifi strength, a phone will never work like a laptop and every other mobile phone.

5) My E65 has unsent SMS issue - most of the issues are with awful service providers.

6) My E65 soft-resets itself every 24hours so the user does not notice issues.

7) It has always been slow with respect to loading up SMSes and changing views - even with no sotware installed or running.

8) I used a Vodaofone 3GS on Vodafone Greece Network and it managed about 5hours when my E65 with similar phone/sms use (no web) lasted 2days in the heat. No use of music or web. All these latest devices have battery issues. It's just physics.

9) there is no device as speedy, complete or configurable or as well supported as the HD2. Just look at the TG01 in comparison.

10) HD2 design is superlative - maximum use of real estate and still pocketable.

11) The 4.3" really makes a difference for my eyes over the 3.5" when I demoed the device.

12) Tons of apps to enhance and compliment.

13) Many people are silently happy with their device.

Yes, unsent SMSes and slow folder views are BAD, but this is a very young device - been out since middle November. Hang on, give it a few months and all will be tip-top. Most of the issues are with Manila and HTC messaging, not with the underlying hardware.

Just look at how the stock ROMs and cooked ROMS have increased benchmark performance - you can never improve an iphone in that way.

I was a very unhappy 3Gs user. The TG01 was awful.

Most readily available android devices (until Nexus, Droid and X10) have low resolution.

No mobile phone is perfect, none will ever be. But at least the HD2 can be fixed if it does have an issue, and can be tweaked as much as you want.

Sounds like you want a featurephone! <3
[HD2 General] stickydonkey:
Well, I've had mine a SHORT while. I've had no issues with mine. I flashed from 1.43 to 1.48 before even using the phone. Applied the hotfixes, then began customizing and then playing. I LOVE this phone. Even if there are a few issues, the PRO's far outweigh the CON's.

My opinion of the TROLL and people like them, if you don't like the phone, DO SOMETHING about it instead of moaning. Moaning is not going to change anything for you mate. Swap it with a mate for something else, or sell it or trade it in... Please don't get another HTC though, cos we don't need people like you here. We are a group of people that come together to help each other find new things, change things and make our phones better... If you are socially challenged, call HOTLINE or something... Get some mates, read a book, go to the beach, buy an iPhone... but leave us alone... :D

Just a word of good advice:

[HD2 General] ace_dynamo:
I thought the Nexus was same resolution as HD2 (albeit on a smaller AMOLED screen)?
[HD2 General] chainbolt:
No issue here - after using it almost 2 months. Absolutely great product. And sure, at one point in time it will replaced by something better. :D

[HD2 General] mickfarr:
The many faults you listed in your first post would be present on day one if it were a fault with the phone. If you have a problem with the phone get a different one or a nexus or what ever you like, but you'll soon wish you had stayed with the HD2. The HTC HD2 is the best phone there is! :D
[HD2 General] gfreek:
Had a s*** day at work but came across this thread and it made my day!! very amusing!:D

Anyhow Roguexmg I think it's case of a rotten apple for you my friend or you could try flashing a different ROM to see if your issues go away like I did I initially had ROM 1.43 very buggy then went on to 1.48 and finally settled on ROM 1.61 by far the most stable and fast IMHO gives a good run for it's money compared to some cooked ROM's!;)

Windows Mobile is closed source, so no, it possibly couldn't be done.

Windows Mobile is lame anyway, it's actually a dummified version of Windows 2000 running some pretty GUI. Win Mobile is also a GUI on top of Windows CE, I believe the latest version is WinCE 6.5.

WinCE afaik needs to be compiled for specific CPU and such... It's not a one-size-fits-all setup. Sorry to pop your bubble.

Cant understand WHY anyone wants WM ??? Its **** compare to Android in my world :)

OK, Could be nice with update for android to 2.x but windows mobile = hell no....
[Click Android Development] beralc:
WM Shouldn't be a priority - Let's root and update

I have owned several WM devices, and Android is way superior than WM. Why would you buy a tattoo and then convert it? You should have bought a WM device if you want WM. Anyway, we should first be able to root the device, and update to 2.1.

Let us get our priorities right people!
[Click Android Development] eldrid:
besides being free source and visually more appealing i fail to see where exactly does android out do windows mobile???? Functionality ways according to me nothing beats windows mobile. I upgraded to the hero just to try something different, just to see what android is like..and in no way is it better than windows mobile....if ur talking about sense ui, facebook integration, and all the million other widgets that make your experience a great one.....that isn't the android OS per se...theyre just add ons. any way SPB mobile 3.5 is still better than the sense ui that we get on our phones.

things i didn't like about android:

-No bluetooth file transfer(at least in the version im running on the hero now)

-No bluetooth tethering option(i used to use this a lot on my windows phone)

-no option of installing programs on sd card( i had to root and install apps to sd, that too cache still remains on the phone memory)

-lacks basic programs when it comes from the factory, being a smart phone one would expect it to ship with basic programs like a file explorer and an office suite. but no...this phone overly depends on the market for everything.

conclusion

Although android is developing fast and seems to have a promising future, it is yet to become as good as windows mobile let alone out doing it. if i had the money i would surely buy an HD2.
[Click Android Development] ajclai08:
We all know Android looks nicer but how does that make it superior? Wouldn't the operation system with the most features be ahead? Windows mobile will get flash 10.1 support first..windows CE usually powers all the intese 3D U.I's you see in embedded devices. Even nvidia has said they prefer the windows kernel over linux for doing 3D applications. I'm just saying the next windows mobile is obviously going be like holding a Mini Gaming PC from 2005-2006 in your pocket. Android will have to impress me with just good looks, and open source goodness..if theres an alternative that can actually do more. Dont get me wrong though, once i've booted Android on my device I never looked backed at windows again.
[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
Whoopeedoo, a smartphone with a 3D UI. Big deal. Windows Mobile is horrible on Battery Life, I had a Windows Mobile PDA and it was in standby after a full charge, and it just drained like crazy yet it was idle.

Android is open source. It can be extended, edited and used for any task - It powers some eBook readers. Windows Mobile is crap, it's based on Windows NT Kernel (yes, that's correct) and you can't develop apps for WM unless you learn all the .NET garbage.

FACT: Android supports Bluetooth File Transfer via custom APK.

Go get a HTC Hero or HTC Dream with Quickoffice if you want some office app on your phone. Who would want to type a school assignment on their phone anyway?

I'll be a linux and android supporter, I'm not going to be corrupted with Windows Mobile. I use Windows CE + Linux on my Jornada HPC, so I'll have a shot at porting Android over to it.
[Click Android Development] eldrid:
@above

whatever suits you dude. For me, yes i can live with android(till i can afford the HD2) but the experience is not as pleasing as it was on the win mobile platform. As far as battery life goes, i have never had any issue with win mob, its pretty much the same as android...... well at least for my usage.

NO the android 1.5 that i currently run on the HERO does not support bluetooth file transfer or tethering even via a custom apk, although the much acclaimed 2.0 and newer versions do. But sadly there hasn't yet been any official release from HTC and the leaked roms though good (thanks to the efforts of the devs) aren't stable enough for my daily usage. In the end it all boils down to personal preference and your needs, whats superior and whats not doesn't matter really.
[Click Android Development] ajclai08:
Yeah, I'm just saying the next high end windows phones will bring mobile smartphones into the next level. It will support higher res 1200x600 screens ,multiple screen support, being able to output movies, and UI to your TV..making it a true portable media device. You'll basically have a xbox 360/Zune/PC in your pocket.

(( no but seriously the apps you want i can sort of agree with, file managers on android are a whole new thing when your used to win-mob, maybe try linda file manager or astro its just a getting used to process... or we can swap ! ))

[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
Noted, I guess I misread your post as "OMG Android ****, WM pwns". Sorry if I offended you.

I'm sure if people wanted to, they could make a Win Mobile UI for android... but in my opinion, Android has a better feature set and can be hacked more than Windows Mobile can.
[Click Android Development] eldrid:
Hey i wasn't offended. Any way i agree the win mob UI is ****ty, its just the way the platform works that makes me like it, its very much like the windows pc that we use and are so overly familiar with. May be i will eventually get used to android.

As far as hacking goes....well no one has been able to root the tattoo or the droid eris yet...but almost all win mob devices at least have a soft spl out there.

Again a phone is meant to satisfy an almost unique set of needs of each individual, so yes its all personal preference.

I love the market on the android though..tons of free applications and in future if i had to buy a phone i would always choose a win mob or android phone...had a bad experience with symbian and i simply don't like the i-phone.
[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
True. The iPhone UI is too simple, Windows Mobile had me going around in circles wondering how to send files to another device, and Android is just a "little slice of heaven". Again, that's my two cents, but yes, if any hardcore WM hacker wants a challenge, try porting WM to the HTC Click. ;)
[Click Android Development] eldrid:
normally such porting is very hard if not impossible as drivers for the tattoo are made to be used with android 1.6, writing drivers from scratch for windows is going to be a royal pain in the @$$ for most developers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nitrate:
Hello there,

is it possible to flash NBH's to the HD2 that are placed in the root directory of the integrated microSDHC card? I remember that such an option existed for the XPERIA X1 and when the device was booted via VOL- and POWER ON, it got to that menu with all the colors. Then the XPERIA X1 loaded the NBH that was placed on \Storage Card\Kovsimg.nbh.

If it is also integrated into the HD2, what has the NBH to be renamed to?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely, nitrate.

5. Follow the introductions

6. Press power button to flash rom

Hi, does anyone know if the storage card flash method completely formats the device first (like mtty?)

I've run into some random freezing issues after being bit of a flash-a-holic with all these tasty ROMS. Anyway I've flash from the storage card and will go a week without a new ROM and see if that helps.

Hi

SD card method will not full format device. But you have to HARD RESET after every rom upgrade.

Good luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] optiknerv:
Hard reset does not fornst either. it would be best if you used mtty before flashing from sd. it takes like a min and fixes random freezes / unexplained hard resets if you have been experiencing them.
