The UK HD2 has no android port, either. If it did, we would be able to get it on the US HD2, because its pretty much the same hardware. But we are a long way away from a functional android port.
[HD2 General] tuck4x4:
Alright, ill ignore the animals here:

Ive seen the phone, I own an HD2, i was at that kiosk half an hour before it opened to buy the phone and I physically touched the HD2 booting android.

Im not the smartest guy in the world but I am Technical Support for CellularOne's TX,OK and MT and formally for ATT. I do have the ability to identify handset models and OS's.

Ill ignore any posts from here on out, but when this is shown to be true, ya'll can come back here and reread your idiocy.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
What location was it at? I'm sure others are really interested in checking it out as well.
[HD2 General] tuck4x4:
my first post in this thread gave the location. Its the Tmobile Kiosk at la plaza mall.

Tell you what, call and ask for Jorge, hes the agent that showed it to me.

Ill not post the number here, but im sure you can find it.
[HD2 General] CDR123:
i dont want to add fuel to the fire but a rep at a tmo store told me that a htc rep came in and personal told them it can be done and has been done...when i went today to look at it and ask questions...ill try to ask him more when i go to buy it...if hes totally wrong im sorry and but it seems that quite alot of people are claiming they have seen it on the web...
[HD2 General] neil_swann80:
And it's not possible that you're confusing the new Evo with the HD2? They do look very similar.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Was it a working copy you saw? It booted up and was functional? It finished booting? Or did you see it just starting to boot? You should ask him for a copy of it to share with the community.

Are you positive it wasn't just a shell running on top of windows that looked like android? Did you see Adroid actually boot up?
[HD2 General] donutman:
Should have went with the Nexus One if you wanted android.
[HD2 General] sscywong:
Anyone like me is thinking that EVO's ROM can be ported to Leo (and load by HeART so can dual boot easily?) given such high degree of similarity? :D
[HD2 General] shu8i:
hd2 is more similar to nexus1 than evo
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I don't know where everyone is getting that the hd2 and the evo are so similar... they even have a different mainboard/processor because of the cdma/gsm difference. plus different camera, hdmi-out, etc. The only similarity is that they look kinda similar.
[HD2 General] tuck4x4:
Ok, I completely understand the skepticism here. I was skeptical too, I do work in the business and i follow this forum and had to be shown to believe it.

Im technical support currently for Cellularone and formerly for ATT, and I know my handsets and OS's.

This phone ran android off of the minisd, it booted and ran it just fine. It was a selling point for me.

Ill do my best to track them down and post what I find out.
[HD2 General] zstjohn:
I believe you. Like i said earlier i had the same experience with a tmobile rep. He said that one of his co workers had the store/showoff model and loaded up android on it which he downloaded from a site which HTC provided to him.

I'll do my best to follow up on my lead too.
[HD2 General] *Omnipresent*:
As much as i would like to believe this is true. No pics + no video = no proof:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
You said that he told you he would help you get it running, right? Can you get a copy of it from him? This would be HUGE news if you could and it's for real.
[HD2 General] foney:
what i want to know is if said member of these forums saw someone running it, and got no evidence of it, then comes back to defend statement...wouldnt it be easier to go get a vid / photo etc of said phone running android?

I mean, theres a LOT of people talking about it, theres a LOT of people trying to get it running even now. Some sort of evidence would be the first thing i would be getting if someone showed me it running on the HD2.
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
Okay I too just got off the phone with Tmobile Rep and he said in his own word "My coworker have HD2 with android dual boot" He said he will be talking with him on Tuesday. I ask him "Are you sure?" He said absolutely SURE. He too have the HD2 and waiting to put the android on it via dual boot and installing the android on the sdcard. He said that is the only way to work this and not too many people know about it. I say we should look into this avenue instead of doing the rom thing.

Have anyone saw this?
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Every Linux/android port for winmo phones so far have run off of sd cards... haret is run to turn off the windows kernel and the linux kernel runs off of the sd card. This is already the way they are preparing this to work... nobody planned on making an android rom that needed to be flashed... at least not anytime soon. It's hard to believe that there is already a working android port that hasn't already been leaked on this forum. Can you get a copy of this android port? I keep hearing people say that people they know have this, but nobody has been able to obtain a copy. If this copy can be obtained, it will save many developers a year of hard work... and I'm sure the person that obtains this will get many, many donations for a working copy. All you would have to do is copy the files off of the sd card.

Are you sure its not a TP2 he was talking about? Unless this was leaked from HTC themselves, I don't see how this can be real. And it seems very unlikely that HTC would spend the time making an android port for the hd2 instead of just making a new phone. They have never done this before, and there's no reason for them to do this. And none of the developers on this site have heard of or seen this, even with all the great sources they have to get every other rom or software months ahead of time... it just seems unlikely. Somebody would have heard of this by now if T-Mobile employees have it. But please, I hope I'm proven wrong.
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
i will do my best to get it. that guy was pretty serious as a matter of fact he was from support.
[HD2 General] HotShotAzn:
Less we forget that perhaps HTC wanted this phone to be Android but was in an agreement with MS to make a high end WM phone.

I'm falling into the belief that HTC does have a working Android port (come on, they are experienced developers and have access to the kernels). I don't think it's terribly hard for them to do it, just like it wouldn't be terribly hard for the experienced devs on this board to do it if they had the right kernels and drivers at hand.

Personally, I think HTC will leak the Android port and just say "it wasn't us" if they come under pressure from MS.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
That would be great... I hope it's true. If so, hopefully we get it soon so the developers working on it don't waste more of there time on the port they are working on. Then they can concentrate on improving the leaked port. But, it still seems very unlikely to me that t-mobile employees would have it, but no one on this site has gotten ahold of it.
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
First of all if you read and go through the thread here you can see that I am not the only one who actually spoke to tmobile rep some even said they saw it and had it in their hands? I was on the phone with support and fixing my HD2 connection problem and he was the one who told me about it.

Obviously it is not a hoax!!
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
A couple people say they saw this, but nobody has been able to get a copy, or show any kind of proof. Something this big would be known by more people. Also, everybody who says they saw it are new members with less than 30 posts. All the members of this forum who have contacts and sources for leaked material and information have never heard of this. You can't blame me for being skeptical... I've seen several situations like this on this forum over the last couple years where people claim to have seen all types of things that end up be false or misunderstood. There are people on this forum that have contacts inside HTC, and sources to get HTC's private software and roms for phone months before they are released. People have accessed HTC's ftp site, even... This type of news is a big deal and would be talked about and known about by some of the very reputable people on this site, but it hasn't been. When proof is shown, that's a different story. If anyone can get a copy of this, I will personally donate $100-200.... and I'm sure plenty more will donate.
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
Make it $2000 i will see what i can do .
[HD2 General] methodz:
it should be $0 if you were serious about it, lol
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
It just a newbie joke man relax,,lol Jesus
[HD2 General] HotShotAzn:
the lack of ability to display emotions over the internet is slightly mitigated by using a smiley if you are joking.

For everyone that supposedly have seen this unicorn, i mean dual boot HD2, have you talked to your contacts? I am rooting for you guys because I'd love to dual boot but all talk and no proof makes you guys lose credibility.

I've worked for all the major carriers at some point in my life and even high up techs are known to fudge the truth to impress.
[HD2 General] mystik610:
Why would they do that?

HTC would much rather we go out and buy the next latest and greatest Android phone than give us an upgrade path. It isn't profitable for them to invest time and money on giving us an upgrade to old hardware they've already sold us. It is profitable for them to constantly sell new phones.

Hell, I don't think they cared THAT much about the HD2 upgrading to WP7 either. They probably only wanted to leverage that point to boost US HD2 sales...they probably were the ones perpetuating rumors that the HD2 would be upgradeable. Now that the HD2 has sold as well as it has, they are onto other endeavors (the EVO)
[HD2 General] snipey:
Is this a serious discussion?

If indeed there was a version made by HTC it would find its way on the internet before "some tmo rep" got his hands on it. Reps are often not developers/kernel buffs just marketing guys with lies. You said yourself it was a selling point for you, you might even have bought the phone because of it. The rep got his sale and most likely paycheck increase. You got a windows mobile phone because you didn't bother to research.

Just for arguments sake. You do know the HD2 has been released for several months in europe right? Why would this be the first time anybody has heard of this at the US release? Btw, April 1st is long and gone. Go read the Linux thread, it much more fun and more believable then this. This is just wishful thinking.
[HD2 General] lude219:
I doubt some newbies on here would know the difference between a THEME and an actual running android OS. I mean, these are the people who get their latest fix on everything mobile from the customer rep, so of course they probably know more than the hundred of developers here :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Exactly. If it was a selling point, why would they have not gotten the linux image from the person that supposedly had it. Not one person has been able to get this linux port that they say they have seen. And why would a T-Mobile rep have it before anyone on this site.
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
woah woah woah...slow down for me for just one second, You went out and brought a HD2 without actualy knowing what OS it uses? Thats fantasticly retarded.

Its like going out and buying a car not knowing if it runs on petrol or diesel.
[HD2 General] neil_swann80:
LOL... indeed. :D
[HD2 General] rumz82:
agreed lol! But, seriously,lets relax now! lol
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
so everyone gave up on this thread? lol
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
android dev arent making progress. thats for sure,
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
maybe they gave.up?
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
What are you talking about? They are making great progress. It takes time. Don't expect a port for months. Probably a year for a fully functional one.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Yes, this thread was pointless. It was basicly about people claiming that they saw android running on hd2's from t-mobile employees... which obviously no one has shown any proof or get a copy of it. There is no functional android port, yet. Let this thread die.
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
so this thread should be called hoax thread
[HD2 General] addicus:
I wanna punch the OP in his face. Freakin idiot.
[HD2 General] Raadius:
No you don't, idiot.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I think it's really time for this thread to be closed.
[HD2 General] arthurbrownleeiv:
*sides still hurt from laughing*

I love how the Android fanbois come in to complain how much they hate a proper phone OS and then demand there is a fix. :D

Clueless people.
[HD2 General] addicus:
Which is why I want to punch the OP in his face. How dare you buy a phone without knowing what OS is on it and have the nerve to come complain about it in this forum. This douche is worse than the Iphone fanboys like my brother in law with his - I pulled up Google Maps and the Iphone told me where to go ****. Freaking idiots. This is why we have genocide. Instead of going by race, culture, creed, age, color or religion we should be able to gather all the idiots together and wipe the slate of them. Then who would buy Iphones though? Hmmmmmm.
[HD2 General] kingrichards:
easy tiger easy lol

hahai know this is a past post but this made my tinyballs giggle
[HD2 General] apotheosis347:
i love wm and i love my hd2, the idea of putting android on it for me is just to say i can, i hate all the android fans at work and would love to rub in their faces my LEO with the option of WM or Android, this is the first thing i found that LEO cant do and that sucks, i just want the option to put what i feel like honestly would use it as much as i use the titanium
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Which one of you guys is pulling my leg? :)

Let's wish it's true and it's happening soon. Though business-wise, HTC would benefit more by cashing in for new Android-labeled devices. :(

It started to smell like a National-Enquirer material. :D

[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
Just upgraded to a 16gb microsd and was wondering what filesystem i should format it to. I know the nexus one itself can format it for me but i just thought i should ask you android veterans out there.

Also, is there any app that can benchmark/check status (health) of a microsd? I know you can do it on a computer but im hoping for an android app
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
It depends on a few things. If you're unlocked and have a custom ROM like Cyan's, then you can do like 1Gb as ext2/3/4 and use app2sd to install apps to that partition (you can do this from within Recovery, just search for app2sd).

For normal data storage, just do the normal fat32. You can put your music, gps maps, etc on fat32.
[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
fat32 it is then.

I'd use app2sd if i could but unfortunately my card is only a class 2, so i think it would be slow. I dont know how to set that up anyways
[Nexus One General] scote:
you might as well test the cards speed anyway, mine is class 4 and it is actually faster than that

the amount of memory the N1 has most things will be cached or running anyway minimising access to the card.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello all,

Sorry for such a noob question but I have been searching a while and haven't found anything. I am having problems with some of the applications on a TP2 since I have upgraded to the standard 6.5 rom from T-Mobile. Does anyone know where I can download and revert it back to 6.1 T-Mo shipping rom as the programs given to the user for their job won't run on the newer and would like to go back. Thank you for any help or direction you could provide on this.

Are there any steps to do that or just download that file from htc site and run it?

from what i gather you'll irreversibly lose your root access if you upgrade to the official one. Something about improved security. Wait a bit and the rooted version of the stock rom would pop up somewhere.

After Sprint WM 6.5 upgrade adding Facebook as "favorite contact" causes lockups

Upgraded my Sprint Touch Pro 2 to Windows Mobile 6.5 from 6.1 last week. Now when I add a linked Facebook contact to my "favorite contacts" tab the TouchFlo interface locks up. Only way to fix is to remove the contacts or not link them to Facebook.

Took me 2 times of applying the 6.5 firmware update before I was able to nail it down to linked Facebook contacts on the favorite contact tab. Now that I've figured this out I'm not using the favorite contacts feature any longer and my lockups have disappeared!

Anyone else have this problem? If so were you able to find a fix?

Tried calling Sprint on the issue but apparently the tech support guys are new to this phone also. They were going to call me back but never did. Guess I'll have to try again another day but in the meantime thought I'd hit up the XDA forum.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] davejulien:

Works fine with my Sprint HTC TP2 WM 6.5 phone

Works fine with my Sprint HTC TP2 WM 6.5 phone
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] davejulien:
Well, I was sure I found an error. Still continues. If I add a contact NOT linked to Facebook no problem. If I add the contact AFTER linking to Facebook it starts to lock up.

I think I'll call Sprint back again. Confused...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ai6908:
When you first add contacts from FB, it does lock up for a min or two depending on how many contacts you have. But once it syncs all, it should be just fine.

If nothing works, try a Hard Reset, and start over again.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] davejulien:
I added a new FB contact today and it locked up. I gave it about 15 minutes and then gave up since it was unusable. Did a soft reset and removed the FB contact. Now all is well.

I applied the firmware update twice. The first time I loaded everything and it was locking up. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I then reloaded the firmware again and took things step-by-step until I figured out what was causing the problem.

So, with that said, I don't think a hard reset will work considering it was locking up right after the firmware upgrade.

CMod is getting kind of outdated and the only reason I haven't upgraded to an Eclair rom yet is because I don't want to lose the stability and speed I have with Cyanogen. So, in your opinion, what's the best, most stable, and most importantly, fastest Eclair ROM available?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToeKnee!:
I've tried Complete Eclair and kings eclair but I really like OpenEclair.

i'd second that i came from cyan to openeclair and whilst it can be a little laggy at times and really that is only at times and almost exclusively the dialer, i have to say i love it and wouldnt change back now.

you'll need to wipe and repair ext and i would recommend wiping several times. also you'll need danger spl if you havent already got that. be careful to get updating radio(if necessary) and spl in the right order.
