I've been asking myself a similar question. Dump the TP2 for an HD2? I still haven't come up with a concrete answer but that isn't only because of the hardware keyboard vs. the onscreen SIP.

Here are some of the differences between the TP2 and the HD2. I have mentioned the pro's of each device versus the other.

TP2

* Front VGA Camera (atleast on the unbranded versions)

* Straight Talk feature with Rear Mute button

* Dual Speakerphone and Mic system (part of the Straight Talk feature)

* Best in-class hardware keyboard

* Screen Tilting option (great for movies)

* Fantastic looks and build quality

HD2

* Large 4.3" Capacitive Screen

* Faster Processor

* More Ram

* 5MP Rear Camera with Flash

* Fantastic HTC OEM Car mount accessory. SEE HERE

* Availability of stylus for capacitive screens as an accessory

If you can make your peace without some of the Rhodium features that did not make it over to the HD2, especially the keyboard, then i'd say go for the HD2 with your eyes closed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] innovator8:
Plus, with the new Swype, I hardly even use my real keyboard anymore, I could go HD2 if you can fit it in your pocket.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Cheeze[iT]:
that carmount looks very nice!

btw, I'm on a tp2 and at times I wish it had a little more power behind it. the HD2 should solve that issue, but takes away the keyboard. I guess I'm going to have to sample it before making a decision on which I would want to keep longer, but the HD2 is the favorite.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Not any virtual keyboard is better and faster than type on a hardware keyboard (at least on my experience)

Just because the keyboard I´ll stay on Rhodium!

I´m sure for 2011 will be a Touch Pro 3 with the specs of Leo (or even better!) but with hardware keyboard! so I´ll bet to that and will wait till 2011:)

And guys don´t forget to vote for Rhodium!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hani1:
rhodium ftw!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akademik_acheeba:
i guess you can say i have a fetish for wm devices and development...im getting the hd2 when it drops regardless lol. i still use all my old devices from day to day. my only problem with the hd2 is theres no keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] b1ck132:
I'm totally disappointed with what is supposed to be the next TP2, aka Tera.

I was rather expecting an HD2 in a TP2 case, as the next device, but 600mhz processor with a smaller screen, seems a no-go so far :(

Hope 2011 will be a better year for devices with hardware keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leepriestenator:
From early indications about the HTC 2010 Windows Phone line up, it looks rather lack luster.

I'm quite disappointed that there isn't a worthy successor to the Touch Pro 2. Considering that the TP2 is a run away success, there is very little that HTC would have to do to improve this device.

Throw in a Capacitive screen, a Snapdragon, more ram, a better camera and a 3.5mm jack on all variants without taking anything that is already in it out and you have a worthy successor to the TP2; one that is sure to be a run away success too.

Really HTC, is it that hard?

I'd settle for just the screen, proc and ram upgrades.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stormrain:
Same dilemma here. I already have the TP2, and i was really really satisfied with my purchase in all aspects! Then the other day i was passing through a phone store and got my hands on the HD2...

I hate that moment because that was when the dilemma of selling my TP2 and getting an HD2 popped up. Like most of you though, i decided (after trying to use only the virtual keyboar on the TP2, which i rarely use btw, and finding it hard to have it as a first input method) to stick to my Rhodium till a TP3 with the screen and other specs of the HD2 plus a hardware keyboard hits the market (hopefully soon enough).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
I agree.

My T-Mo contract won't permit me to get a new phone cheaply until mid-2011 anyway, so I'm not too concerned yet.

I just really, really hope that hardware keyboards (in high-end HTC WM devices) don't go the way of 4x3 aspect-ratio laptops...that would

really

be a shame. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] irkan:
Like most of the guys said, .. and what i say is, if you can live without the QWERTY keyboard, than get an HTC HD2 blind-folded
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gd761:
I am with SPRINT and would LOVE to get the HD2, with only one change. it has to have a keyboard. I have had phones without keyboards, but now that I have a keyboard, I have been hooked. There is another problem that would limit me from getting the HD2. That is SPRINT. I very much doubt that they would get this phone from HTC. That SUCKS! This is only my opinion about this SWEET phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] charleswesde:
Best bet is probably to test drive it. If you find that you absolutely cannot live without the keypad give it back but if the screen compensates for it in your opinion by all means keep it.
[General Questions and Answers] Mahler4:
Hi,

My blackstone's WIFI is not working (and has never been), so I have to send it back to deliverer. I have already installed original ROM from HTC, but need to install original SPL. Can somebody help me how to do this or where I can find necessary info. Thanks al lot!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DLTempler:
Palringo is a pretty cool IM'ing app. The first time I installed it I found that my battery was getting chewed up even when the program was not running. I had some other problems with lock up. I uninstalled and after a couple of months I thought I would try it again.

Seems to be the same issues. Battery drain and some general lock up problems.

Wondering whether others have had similar problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 308374:
never locked, using the current version (no beta). battery drain... I don't know really, I open it only when I need to chat, otherwise it stays shut so nobody bothers me ;)

maybe you want to try beta version? it's been updated every 48 hours these weeks :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DLTempler:
Curious, if I close Palringo using the Task Mgr. I seemingly still show available to my contacts because they can IM me and I get a little envelope on my taskbar. If I touch that I get an option to open Palringo and then I can reply. So it seems that even when it is closed it is functiong somehow.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stormrain:
I think there is an option somewhere to define wether you want it to run in the background or not...

Great programme, i don't use it though anymore since i somehow messed the contact list and now it shows only few of them. The same with the PC client :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 308374:
I updgraded to the latest beta, no lockups at all, about battery I can't tell, I just chatted and messed around a few minutes. Be sure to disable the location service!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] wildfxp:
I absolutely LOVE Palringo.

I do not go mobile w/o using this app :) I don't know if it uses a lot of battery, but I can say that this IM app is much better than a lot of others.

I even went PREMIUM, but sadly it doesn't work with the new MANILA/SENSE screens :(. They said soon it'll work and just imagine how nicely it will be implemented into 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] coolwater22:
well have you checked task manager, cause when you click the "X" to close the program it only minimises it and doesnt close it. thats why your probably still receiving messages.

btw this is one of the best IM apps, although i wish they had implemented MySpace as well :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] OtoTheBear:
Same problem here, battery drainage after I opened Palringo.

I've got this problem since I updated Palringo to version 2.5.6 r39750

If I close Palringo before going to bed I can be pretty sure to not be woken by my phone in the morning... Although sleeping long is pretty sweet, I don't like this behaviour too much.

Closing through the taskmanager (which tells me Palringo doesnt respond) leaves an icon on the taskbar. When I click that icon I get to choose between opening Palringo and closing the program. After closing (or trying to open) the icon vanishes and Palringo isn't listed in the taskmanager anymore. So far so good, but if I don't restart my phone, it will suck down the juice like me at an open bar ...

I didn't find any solution to this. Tracking is turned of.

I'm now trying to:

Close Palringo via the close-button of Palringo.

Set my status to offline before closing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jackos:
If you try to kill Palringo using the "x" button or a task manager it doesn't close itself, although it doesn't appear on the list anymore. Check running processes using a specialized process viewer, for example SKTools.

Quickfix: Use the exit menu in Palringo to quit the application.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] OtoTheBear:
Yes, this worked quite well for me. No more problems at all :-)

thx in advance
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] geovision:
After installation my phone just got freezed. I do not know what to do. I will try to reflash it again. The problem occured in the customization phase where it restarted!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] baadnewz:
remove sd card reboot and rom will kick.

well install it and ya i know is beta but

1. with SD card inserted rom become laggy and unresponsive same as last energyrom - coz of manila docs either u disable it or fix it

2. no keyboard what so ever, i know we have hardware keyboard but cmon i need to slide for every character of use the stylus?

3. well we all have xperia since we like our hardware keyboard, and want to use it, opera 9.7 included in leo packages does not support xperia hw keyboard.. maybe in beta2 ull include opera10 b2.. just a suggestion

dont get me wrong i'm glad you started cooking for xperia, but xperia is a lil different from tp2 or other htc phones and imho the rom is more like in an alpha stage than beta

all the best, hopefully the beta2 will have less bugs and can be used daily
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] geovision:
How can I disable the manila docs in order to put the sd card with a new rom? Please it is important to answer me!

Finally I did it! What to say for this rom? Nothing... (except a big thank you for all who helped me)

[General Questions and Answers] nitrate:
Hello,

i think the title of this thread says everything i want to know.

I am searching for a phone with Windows Mobile and / or Android as operating system. The only special thing it has to be: for fixed network.

Best would be a wireless phone with Windows Mobile.

From this news (from a presentation at this years' CES), Motorola is going to release a wireless fixed network phone using Android as operating system.

I prefer a Windows Mobile phone. Has anybody here seen something or heard of?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely, nitrate
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Javi:
Hi,

I currently have the Artemis on T-Mobile UK (MDA Compact 3) and recently I've been getting the annoying going into soft reset loop - these days for no reason - previously, it was due to stray reminders or non-dismissed notifications

Anyway, I think it's time to change phones (this one is 2.5 years old). I was wondering if the Hero has been known to do the same. Should I consider buying this phone, or would any current owners advice on a different handset?

I definitely need Sat Nav (or capability) on the phone apart from the usual apps and functionality

TIA
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZED_pt:
At this moment i would go for a NexusOne but im a pride owner of a hero...

Been using it for 3 months and had no problems so far
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ioluas:
I had an Artemis before and can say that the experience the Hero provides exceeds that of the Artemis by lightyears. I would say go for it. if the budget helps it, then go for a higher spec Android mobile.

AFAIK, this is a Windows Mobile issue with the old WinMo operating system and it doesn't exist in Android.

[Nexus One General] GlenH:
When I have my nexus one set to automatically adjust brightness, it doesn't seem to do anything.

I can move it between dark and bright environments and the screen brightness doesn't seem to change at all. Am I missing something or is this feature not working on my phone?
[Nexus One General] bugsy:
It works fine with mine. I just clicked auto in the brightness setting. Make sure you didn't accidentally change it to a different setting with the settings widget that is by default on the first home page to the right.
[Nexus One General] aagvain:
works fine on mine yet not a feature i use....i just set it statically.
[Nexus One General] aron7awol:
I find the auto-brightness to be too dim for my liking. It would be great if you could adjust the overall brightness while still maintaining the automatic scaling.
[Nexus One General] GlenH:
Turns out it does work, it just need to be *really* bright to make it change.

It doesn't change really at all in my office between switching the lights on and off (even though that's a really big change in light levels to me). However, if i go outside, it does get brighter.

As you say though, it does seem to be set a bit low (hence it not brightening up when my office lights are turned on I guess).
[Nexus One General] Bicster_:
If I enable auto-brightness on mine, it seems to constantly vary the brightness in my office. It's annoying as crap and I turned it off. Am I the only one?
[Nexus One General] aron7awol:
It's probably taking a look at the available APIs to see if it's easy to write a quick app to do auto brightness with settings to be able to tweak it.
[Nexus One General] padanfain:
The auto-brightness feature changes constantly for me as well.
[Nexus One General] AgntCooper:
I 'm also having issues of the varying brightness when using auto-brightness -- even though the lighting in my environment has not changed and I avoid contact with the light sensor. It's VERY annoying.

I've since switched to using a static setting for the brightness.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
auto brightness was one of the first things i turned off. it was way too dim for me
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Not bright enough for me. Doesnt seem to change much.
[Nexus One General] wmm:
I do see the variability occasionally. Most of the time it's stable, but it will take spells of shifting up and down repeatedly. Glad to know I'm not alone.
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
Auto bright annoyed me as well when I first got the phone. Then I realized where the sensor is (top left) and what it was responding to. Depending on where I'm sitting, what light sources are behind me, in front of me but reflecting off of me. It's usually just responding to a light source that's just withing view of its sensor. Also, my hand has shielded the sensor more than just a few times, confusing the sensor.

Now I leave auto bright on all the time, and it more often than not does a good job.
[Nexus One General] brandenk:
IMHO this is one of the few broken features on the phone. In continuous lighting it jumps from bright to dim to everything in between like a jack rabbit on speed. I still use it to save battery life but it pisses me off regularly.
[Nexus One General] w00yee:
am also having this problem. it constantly goes much brighter, and then, suddenly goes back to dim.. very annoying... however, the light sensor for calling works well... so, is it a software issue.. hope it gets google's attention and gets fixed in next update...:mad:
[Nexus One General] Driften:
+1 so I also manually go between three on the widget
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
Note that the light sensor is under the glass on the front of the phone. Some cover-all cases cover this, and if you use one of these I assume your phone will remain on the dimmest setting.

In general, while indoors it will remain on the dimmest setting (for me anyway), but rise to the necessary full brightness when in sunlight.

There are two sensors, one is a light sensor and the other is a proximity sensor to detect when you've taken the phone from your ear. I think you're referring to the second.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
+1 constant occiliation on dimmness levles under consistant light. It goes from way too dim, to just right then back dark again. I too hope that google will correct this with the next update. Hopefully the patch gets pushed soon, i'd like that extra memory ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LikeM8:
Hi, any screen short of:

- ROM CursorSense32A and,

- MyHero 2.0.5 with Official SenceUI and

I plan to buy a Sapphire, so I ask me if exist an equivalent ROM with sens UI (same on HERO)?

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
SenseUI - is HTC original UserInterface, so no difference between CursorSense and MyHero.

p.s. difference between these ROMs - different SPL and radio
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LikeM8:
Thanks very well for your help!!!

What is the best ROM (stablility, fluididy,...) between CursorSense and MyHero?

Synchro (mail, sms, data, contact,...) works very well, no problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shael:
cursor sense hands down.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hycian:
I was running MyHero 2.0.5 since its release last november, there had been no problem whatsoever, everything worked flawlessly and IMHO it was pretty quick already... Until last week when I suddenly feel the need for a new ROM, I tried CursorSense RC1. It's simply faster in every aspect and also seems to have improved my 3G speed.

Some people might be hindered by the need for new SPL/radio as required by CursorSense but look no further, it's well worth the hassle to get new SPL/radio (that're also downgradeable if you change ROM later). The author has written an excellent guide that is easy to follow evem for newbies, but if there's anything you're unsure of, do make use of the board here and ask questions instead of risking to brick your phone.
