Why not just go to a Telco or apple store to try it out yourselves? There're just too much false information about what an iPhone can or cannot do around. Lots of it on this forum.

Don't know about what you have read, but mine plays THIS video smoothly. If you click on the link and let it stream, then you may need to wait for enough of the 80+ mb to be downloaded before the player starts. If your phone is JB you have the additional option of downloading it first before playing. Video picture is sharp, completely free if pauses, jitter, or frame drops, and sound completely in sync.

Cheers.

Edit: Thought I might as well video record how well it plays for your guys.

Sorry about the quality of the recording as I was using an old camera to do the recording rather than a proper video recorder, but still you will be able to see how smoothly it plays. Please blame my camera, not my iPhone for the poor video resolution. ;-)
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
Hi, that doesnt really prove anything, you could have converted it to a lower bit to play though itunes, plus the iphone screen res is half that of he HD2.

However, who would actually bother going to those lengths to fake this?

hmmm....
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Honestly, even if the Iphone could play it smoothly, does it matter here? This IS the HD2 forums, isn't it? Nothing against it, but it is getting a bit tiresome to hear about it everywhere.

Just out of interest, why are you wanting a HD2 over a Nexus 1?
[HD2 General] BlackElvis79:
It's my 4th Android device, and as much as I love Android, and seeing as I've already gone through everything I can do with my iPhone, I'd like to see what WinMo is all about.

[HD2 General] BlackElvis79:
What do you find to be the downside of the HD2
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
I'm not sure what the band situation is as mine is a UK model. I can send you pics if you wish though. I've not even opened the headphones or touched the packaging since I got it and I've had it in a case with a screen protector since day one.

I come from Android and iPhone and found the SMS app and its alternatives to be inferior. I send up to 4200 texts a day and have to constantly delete threads to prevent the app slowing down.

I also use Twitter and IM a lot and Android presents a great deal more options.

I do love my HD2. I even carry a spare battery as I use it so often, but I get fed up of the bugs.

Maybe I'll regret it when I get rid as my handset is one of the few not to have a screen sensitivity bug: it works perfectly with no ghost typing or weird flitting between letters; my other three suffered annoyingly from this hardware problem.

Can anyone tell me how to uninstall mod's?

For instance, I tried the trackballwake mod and found you still had to use the unlock slider. I was hoping you wouldn't. So I was hoping to just uninstall that zip package.

Possible?

Thanks guys...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
a)restore your nandroid backup (you did make one right)

b)If you manually deployed the new files (adb/root explorer etc), restore the backup versions. (hope you have a backup)

c) If you don't have a backup, find the ROM you installed last and extract the files that the update.zip included (overwrote), then copy them to your phone. (adb/root explorer etc)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnicko:
I was hoping to do option c but actually remove the mod entirely. But I'm not all too familiar with all the adb commands. I tooled around a little bit but figured I'd come on here and ask.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
If you have cyanogen rom still on the sd card still just reflash it.The settings and apps should stay as they where and the trackball hack you install should be removed. This is what I did.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefoss:
Ok, I know that title is a little convoluted, but I don't know how else to put it. Basically when entering the recipients name in the "To" input field, some contacts don't show up. Example: Say I wanna send a text to Brian Knoll. I open Messaging app and start typing his name in the TO box, I get Brian Davids, or Briannna, or Brittany, but no Brian Knoll. I'd have to back out, search for his contact via phone search or contacts app and then compose a text that way. This is the same for about half my contacts and is NOT rom specific. I know it's not SIM contacs screwing it up either, cause I can store a brand new contact and have the same thing happen when trying to find it. What gives???
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy!:
I also noticed this problem. In fact, I only get listed those contacts which have been synced from Facebook but not the ones comming from the sim card...

[General Questions and Answers] Will101:
Hi one and all.

I've a dilemma: I upgraded to an HD2 on my Orange contract two weeks ago exactly. Two weeks ago, Windows Phone 7 Series had been announced to the world but the release date was put at 'holiday 2010'. This seemed too long to wait for a new phone so I took the plunge and got the HD2 that I'd been lusting after for several months.

>> Fast forward two weeks >>

Windows Phone 7 is now expected to be released with new handsets as early as Sept '10 according to Paul Thurrott (excellent WP7S review btw). Only 6 months? I can wait that long! Unfortunately Phones 4 U don't have a 28 day returns policy so returning the phone is not an option.

So, onto my $6m question:

Is Windows Phone 7 likely to be 'easy' to port to the HD2 if HTC/MS don't allow HD2 owners to do it officially? (Possible hardware requirement shortfalls or chipset/device drivers required?)

If the answer is; 'it may not work' then I'm seriously considering eBaying my nearly new phone and waiting till Sept to get a Win Phone 7 handset. Otherwise I may be stuck with a non-WP7 phone for two years...

If you own a HD2, theres no need to "hope" that people are able to make it work on other WM phones, as you will get an upgrade.

I'm using 1.6 donut at QVGA and am wondering if anyone has gotten the ustream broadcaster to work on any version of android with the vogue. from what i can tell, the right row of buttons is missing, which includes the broadcast button. The app is in the 'small' marketplace so i would assume it works
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
that's why I use hvga [320×480] qvga [240×320] cuts of parts of a lot of the applications
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
If you're using Myn's build, he uses a different lcd_density setting. Look in his thread (first post) for androidupdates for changing it.

There's other howtos about changing it. Perhaps setting it to the stock 120 value would fix it. Right now he has it 113. If 120 makes it worse, then go the other direction (110). Often times 120 fixes it.

This will probably fix your missing button issues.

120 does introduce dialer button issues on some of Myn's skins. I use the Enoch skin, which has a dialer that works right.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
Even if you switch to 320x480, and are able to see the buttons, I don't believe the app itself will work. You'll be able to see video on your phone, but when you press that "live" or broadcast button, nothing happens because the camcorder doesn't work on the vogue.

Activesync on "As item is received"

3G permanently on

3-4 hours of music

~1 hour of browsing

Few minutes of youtube

Twitter every 15 mins

Facebook every 2 hours

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsj5j:
I previously made a thread regarding low battery life.

After a week of use and more testing, here's what I gathered.

(Note: I have GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi always disabled, brightness lowest)

My phone will completely drain out in 6-7 hours.

I found the culprit: Cell Standby

1.) Cell Standby always uses the most battery, often 60%+.

2.) Phone Idle often follows with 30%+.

So, to verify my theory that the screen isn't the issue, I turned on airplane mode.

I proceeded to watch a 1 hour comedy, and battery life dropped from 60% to 50%.

This is lower battery usage than if it were sleeping with cellphone on.

I then noticed that my signal hasn't been good (provider sucks, no choice, all of em here sucks).

So, I placed my phone on, but asleep inside a locker for 2 hours (no signal).

When I took it out, it was very warm at 40+ C and battery life dropped about 20-30% per hour.

I've tried turning 3G off, turning always-connected off or downgrading 2g.

The result has always been the same. It still sucks bigtime.

It seems like Nexus One also has this problem, anyone notice similar problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsj5j:
I've googled and been told that this is "normal", because the phone increases power to secure a signal.

However, I've clearly owned phones and placed them in signal-less lockers prior to this, and trust me when I say most of them drop 5% per hour max.

20-30% per hour is horrible, and clearly the phone is overpowering its components.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikepheng:
There are some certain Radios you can flash to improve how your phone uses power to pick up a signal, Requires root access tho.

I use basically for txt, some net usage and sometimes playing a game 10 - 20 mins tops and or read ten mins of books.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad4ss:
Post #1 on the thread below seems to have a working solution (re-interpreted below)

It seems to be something to do with the battery stats and charging via usb through PC instead of via the mains.

You have to clear your battery data when your phone has really really low battery (this is probably the MOST IMPORTANT step) (you can do this through recovery mode in amonRa). Once the battery data is clear, switch back on (before plugging in) and drain the battery so that your phone switches off by itself (playing music loud and switching wifi, data connect etc, etc is suggested in the thread).

Once battery has died, plug in your phone WHILE it is STILL OFF, then when the battery shows green (will probably take longer to charge because this time it is getting a full charge), UNPLUG BEFORE you switch it on. and you should notice the significant difference. - Oh yeah make sure you switch off all those data connections and wifi and all those other things that you used to drain the battery - unless you use some of them of course ;)

EXTRA TIP given on the thread: TIP!! Remeber when changing and flashing new roms to unplug the phone from charge *(i.e. unplug from your PC) (edit Bad4ss) * after you boot!

TO answer LennyUK's Q below ( and so that the next page doesn't start to quickly before this suggestion is read ;) ) I think why it is suggested for the first boot after this process to be done while off is because it is already off because of the drain AND because it will get a clean full charge up for the first time after a battery data wipe. Because while it is on it will be depleting the battery even if it is in a small way - after that you can do it whichever way you want *nudge-nudge-wink-wink-say-no-more* ;)

I think the analysis is flawed. I also think the stats information doesn't tell you everything. For example, yesterday I had 60% cell standby, 20% WiFi, 20% phone idle. Consumption was 45% in 24 hours.

Previous to yesterday, I had high battery consumption. So yesterday was a breakthrough but YMMV. I removed the PCSCII and the Mail app (I don't sync with Exchange and I don't sync with a PC as such - I don't run Windows). I also disabled auto task killer. I rebooted without being connected via USB to power or to PC. Suddenly power consumption became similar to Modaco ROMs.

Last night, I also disabled the setCPU application and rebooted. 6% battery consumption in 9 hours. 34% cell standby, 33% WiFi, 33% phone idle. Consumption was 45% in 24 hours.
