OK, i dont know, what prices are in your country, in mine the iphone more expensive with 30-40% than the HD2! And it is fact: the iphone have many better part, BUT it is fact too: the HD2 have so many better part. Just see Call handling comparison in Youtube or the physically dominance or compare the home screen (HD2 is very interactive, informative, genuine; Iphone have a simple start menu like a Sony Ericsson K800)

Yes, its true HD2 with the first ROMs had some bugs, problems and issues, but it fixed by htc or the users very-very quickly. The first Iphones had many serious problems (example: unusable bluetooth) and the users must wait the solution 2 years(!!) and buy a new 3Gs on horrible price.

In Hungary 2009 october the Iphone 3Gs (32gb) was 300 000 Ft without hungarian language (so i cant buy official version with my language) and the HD2 was 180 000 Ft (ok must buy an SD card approx 25 000 Ft)

"I feel like I am using Windows 95 on my Quad Core Desktop..!!!" Its tall story! You wanted to say "Windows XP", dont you?

"The thing is whatever I can to on my LEO I can even do it on my ELF juts has small screen & less graphics..!!!" - And it is the substance!

The only thing I can deduce is that the original poster is a lame twat.

It's an awesome bit of kit in my opinion, and has replaced my Ipod, Archos, Sat Nav, netbook... and,er, phone.

Fook off back to your ifone.

Considering the fact that this was my first phone, I couldn't be happier with it.

It cost me 829.00 AUD to buy it from JB Hi-Fi, SIM unlocked and ready to go. I brought it home, my boyfriend flashed a ROM to it to get rid of the Telstra rubbish, and from then on I was quite pleased with it. I found that I didn't have to purchase a bunch of apps to get it to do what I wanted to, forking out even more money, like I would have to on an iPhone.

The only things I had to get for it were MSN and Swype, both of which were free, then I chose to get a free version of Sudoku on it. One difference I've noted between the HD2 and an iPhone (my brothers both use iPhones) is the fact that to get the usage out of their iPhones that I get out of my HD2, they have to fork out extra money for third party apps. I didn't have to do this -- anything extra that I got for my HD2, I got because I wanted it, not because I needed it.

The web browser on the ROM I'm currently using (Miri's) is brilliant. The only complaint I ever have about phone usage is moreso to do with terrible reception in my house (tin roof) and in other places around where I live, since this is a new development at the outer edges of Perth's urban area, so as a result there aren't any towers in this area, so getting reception in some places is a joke. There are a few places in my neighbourhood and on the train route I take where there is literally no data reception whatsoever. If it weren't for the wi-fi in my house, I'd have a hilarious time trying to get reception.

Sorry for the digression. Anyway, I feel that my money was well spent. The functionality that I can get out of this phone now will last me for years to come. Tethering, Mobile Office, GPS, emailing, MSN, texting, calling, an occasional round of Sudoku, and several other things that I use my phone for will satisfy me until my next phone, which, at this stage, I probably won't even be thinking about for quite some time.

Plus I find it amusing that iPhone users seem to have a third-party app for every second web page out there. I've always kinda wondered about that...

Well I paid $200 plus tax for two Tmobile USA HD2s and I love this device. I could of easily picked up an iPhone 3GS but I love Windows Mobile ever since I bought my Tmobile Wing back in 07 or 08. The HD2 for me has been easily my best Windows Mobile device although I miss the keyboard of my Touch Pro 2.

The only thing I hate about the phone is the "KEYBOARD" Honestly, wtf. The screen is much bigger than the iphones and for some reason I can type better on an Ipod Touch. Way to many mistakes on the HD2. Please dont tell me to install the cab that decreases sensitivity on the screen as it messes up the scrolling of the start menu.

Other than that, this phone is amazing. Many students at my school say

"Thats a huge screen" and its true.
[HD2 General] Earthbrain:
I love my HD2.

And I bought it for only $400 on Craigslist in which the owner has it for only about 1 week.

Here are my reasons.

1. High resolution movie and smooth play back on a 4.3" screen.

2. I have 3 GPS programs in it and working perfectly

3. Playstation 1 games emulator...and several fun games from Gameloft

4. 3G and easier internet visual on a big screen

5. Medical programs from Skyscape

6. Some cool applications such as conversion program and dictionary that are useful

7. Decent camera with flash

8. Thin size

9. Movies, movies, movies, movies................
[HD2 General] Alpha0ero:
I paid less...

I'm not tied to a contract, luv the huge freakin screen, finally get to cut my teeth on some basic tweaking to suit my tastes, it's the swiss army knife of phones and it has the best hardware available today. Period.

So, to answer your question. Yes. :cool:
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
This is a great phone probably the greatest I have ever experienced.

Who said Windows Mobile was dead?

I spent the whole of yesterday tweaking it and installing appz and this thing is so tweak-able but it ain't for the faint of heart.

So happy with the big screen and the interface is glorious like two OS working together in Sense and WM..

Love this thing so much...
[HD2 General] khaeid:
I have an HD2 and i love it, and believe it's better than the IPhone, but the thing is "HTC" are slow, right, Apple made only one phone and worked a lot for marketing and software development, all their effort is on one device, obviously this strategy is better than HTC's, who makes a whole bunch new series every few months, forgets about old one, but keep posting them in their site without any software support. leaving them software-developeless :-)

They already made some after HD2, and heard they are planning the launch of new ones.

I am sure that, sadly, we are all aware that HTC is a **** in customer support, device support and software support for the same device.

THERE ARE STILL BILLIONS OF POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS AROUND THE WORLD TO BUY HD2, RATHER THAN RELYING ON THE FEW THOUSANDS HTC LOVERS TO SPENT MONEY YEARLY ON NEW HTC DEVICES, I AM SURE WE WILL GET BORED SOON FROM THIS AND LOOK FOR ONE DEVICE THAT LASTS 5 YEARS WITH AMAZING 5 YEARS SOFTWARE SUPPORT like the IPhone

So HTC: stop the ****ing around. already HD2 is the best in the marked as hardware, if the new ones are not that advanced, stick to HD2 software development and marketing.

But anyhow, knowing how HTC works, i am sure in few months they will release new phones, leaving HD2 to Glorious HD2 owners-developers to keep it alive.

Damn strategy, makes money, but looses customer confidence.

but for now i am sticking with my HD2, love it, the best hardware. hoping millions would buy it, and HTC, and others would be forced to software development, and hope HTC won't kill it with new devices in the near future

Such device should stand for 5 years minimum, software's needs years to follow HD2's superior hardware.

WHEN MY DEVICE GETS OLD IN 2 YEARS, CRACKS, BAD SCREEN, ERASED BUTTONS, I WANNA REPLACE IT WITH NEW SHINY HD2 NOT AN IPHONE, (Hopefully) :-)
[HD2 General] nicolasl46:
at the speed technology moves forward, you can't expect to get more than 2-3 years of a phone, even with software support. Technology is advancing way too fast.
[HD2 General] TopOfNewYork:
Its got a ton of fire power, that already makes it a great device when compared to less powerful ones on the market but if you grade this thing on overall tightness of the device, it doesnt score high bc its so heavily bugged, perhaps bc it was rushed to market?

As far as the stock Rom goes,

I am not huge fan. HTC knows how to pick out hardware (or does it since it cant even get its youtube app let alone any video to play without lip synching) pathetic.

It at least put the hardware together into a device that feels high quality but its anything but high quality. Its bugged to death and some very basic stuff is missing from the phone.

The messaging system, garbage, almost always lags, freezes constantly. Its seriously terrible pretty much everybody agree that they messed the messaging system up royally. And its a huge deal bc text messaging is an important cellphone function that has to work flawlessly and without lag, every single time, the time put into programming weather animations is a complete waste if you cant get sense to send, receive, open, view text messages without freezing the phone or without significant lag. You shouldnt have to reset a device bc you have received or sent a text message, ever.

Whats really killing me, again beyond the fact that no videos on this phone play without lag (and if you cant notice it you are a douche who has no sensory perception). Watch some concerts on youtube and watch the lip synching. Its really annoying.

I cant stand the fact that I cant put this into sleep with a button. I use xda shutdown but that doesnt always continue to play music when you put the device in sleep. In fact it usually locks up if you try.

You simply cant play a song and put the phone in your pocket without activating something on the super sensitive touchscreen as the phone moves aroiund in your pocket or just the act of putting it your pocket will start up some programs.

How brain dead do you have to be to not put a sleep button on the device? How brain dead do you have to be to not actually test the device walking down a street with this phone, pick out song and then put the song in your pocket without activating stuff on the touch screen...pretty brain dead. It ends up feeling like a crappy Chinese device when such basic stuff is left out its like wow where is the common sense design work...

So in the sense that HTC really messed up some very simple applications on a phone with this much fire under the hood I am disappointed and baffled.

The phone cant play a video without lag, thats a joke a like a major joke, did anyone test this device before release?

Other than that its a nice device, it turns out that HTC are just crappy programmers and software engineers. Its all bells and whistles but its not actually functional. Its really annoying that they are that sort of company.

Right, i accept the 3 years life time, will we get it before they launch HD3 or something?
[HD2 General] adeeb:
i was so obsessed about this beast that i bought it for 1660 TL = 1100 USD as soon as it was released here in Turkey.

i know thats a lot(damn taxes)

i love it, its worth every penny.

Here is a question, What can you not do with it?

How can people compare it to the iToy :mad:
[HD2 General] khaeid:
i am sure it's a beast, and can not be compared with the iphone, but the problem is not with the hardware, it's with the softwares and OS
[HD2 General] gorgeousyousuf:
Right now i am using t-mobile Touch pro 2 and i intend to promote to hd2 just because of its almost double speed processor , larger screen , larger ram , being way way thinner compared to TP2 .

I play with it in stores here in İstanbul/Turkey and it costs 1480tl that equals approximately 990$ tax included .I know it is expensive but i will sell my touch pro 2 for 700 lira and buy an hd2 used for couple of days for +- 1000 lira.

So do you think apprx 300 lira(200$) is worth for such an upgrade?

[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
You best damn value i ever got out of a phone...seems as long as devs got ideas HD2 will be alive!!! it should have had the name legend as it will live on for years to come

even after a year in the market IT STILL IS A BIG SHOT even putting the new Crapple Phone 4 to shame...

especially since android is available now on HD2 i think the high end user part will keep it alive for a long time...

every phone out in the market now is the same as hd2...the only diff is they might offer a better screen like SLCD or AMOLED (or like in evo HDMI out)

but in essence their the same...hence i dont think its worth upgrading till the new qualcomm dragons come out with 1.3 and 1.5 processors :)

Hi guys,

I've got a Samsung Intrepid with a 320x240 landscape screen. Because of the resolution, SPB mobile shell sets the toolbar on the right hand side of the screen.

Trouble is, I freakin' hate that. I'd gladly sacrifice some screen real estate to get that thing on the bottom.

Is there any way to mod the program to get that bar on the bottom? PLEASE, please say there is. I want my freakin' softkeys to line up!

Thanks,

Dan S.

I am having the same issues can someone help with this? I have my toolbar on the right side and would like it on the bottom and my pictures that I try to set as my background are too large and zoom in on part of it. Any suggestions???
[Windows Mobile Themes] Weapon X 20:
Anyone know how to flip the screen for the Samsung intrepid on SPB Mobile shell 3.5.5?

So that the taskbar is on the bottom and that the pictures fit the window as well.

Would ProPlus be a good place to go?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Emadhasan:
So my TP2 just got stolen and I had to get a brand spanking new one. I had backed up my contacts on my computer using Outlook. I'm trying to restore the contacts from Outlook to my phone, and for some reason I can't figure out how. Can anyone run me through this please?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Emadhasan:
The phone is connected, but how do I tell the computer to send the contacts to the phone? I'm usually rather computer saavy, and I'm sure this is very simple to do, but I'm missing it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
I left ActiveSync for WMDC 6.1 when I switched to Win7, but I believe if you just sync once it is connected it should work. Since there are no contacts on your phone it should just copy them all over.

did you go through active sync device set up?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Emadhasan:
I got it. I'm a moron. Wow. Thank you anyway.

Hi,

I have tried to flash a wiza200 that was already flashed with a manila rom, I checked that it is a G4. I used TNT.20273 Professional Wizard HTC Home FREE ROM, it seems to work , romupdate utility indicated that the device was flashed successfully but it reboots on bootloader screen. I tried to reflash it it gave the same result, I tried another rom but impossible to flash it with other roms. So I downloaded the official one from the operator O2 but I got "invalid vendor" message. I searched all the possible solutions but none of them worked( wizard love also). Is there a savior here ? someone who can give me the right procedure to follow.

initially the IPL was 2.21.0001 and spl 2.21 Olipr

now the IPL is 2.21.0001 and spl 2.21

Thanks

Best regards.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Moto62:
You must replace the Update.exe with a MaUpgradeUT_NoID.exe . Found here in Forum . Look in "Blue Angel" for it. Be sure that you flash the right ROM with it . It will no ask...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lun073:
Hi guys.

On last Saturday, my phone could not receive the satellite signal for Garmin, then I decided on restart the phone. But the phone will never show the Window Mobile 6.1 screen, it stuck after showing the Xperia screen.

After hard reset, everything was fine until yesterday. There was 16% battery left, then I put it in the drawer and work. After 2 hours, there was a blank screen. I recharged the phone when I got home, and the charging period was as usual.

When the battery was full, I went to shower. After that I took a look at the battery, it was 96%!!!!!! 4% drop within few minutes.

So below are what I suspect.

1. Battery problem.

2. Phone problem.

3. The program that shows battery percentage is not accurate.

4. Something run on the backend that used up too much battery. (But I didn't install any extra program that will run at the backend)

Should I hard reset my phone again? Please help.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpgsk:
Try installing abcpowermeter to see power consumption of your phone, also try installing a taskmanager, that shows CPU ussage for running apps and post results. Also do not charge phone via usb, but with the wallcharger.

I'm Searching for TORRENT for leSscro WP7 theme,

since he claims what he takes from people is DONATIONS then his theme is FREE, then its not Piracy so, dose anyone have a torrent for it :)

P.S not meaning to couse any problems, if Mods think its inapporptiet feel free to delete this :)

:D:D:D ! wait till this thread becomes a crap of useless insults and arguments ! :D:D:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] RizwanKhan:
to clarify:

donations are not requirement. ask author to provide theme in his thread. if he does not than he needs to remove donation and ask for a fee to be able to get theme.

having said this only reply if you are posting theme or you are theme author and have problem with this request.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vladimir2989:
oh, Mods closed his thread already coz for him donations are requirements lol, but he still claims its donation, so...

maybe someone can PM me a link to that theme...
[Windows Mobile Themes] biernes_atrece:
from what i understand his latest theme is FREE < http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=662034 >

what is not free is the application you need to run the theme, (Throttle Launcher)

you need to buy a license to be able to fully utilize this application.

however, there is a FREE license you can use for some time (but not for long)

i'm saying this out of experience. i have tried both the theme and the app.

at the moment i was not satisfied due to some lags.

but in fairness, it is still in beta, i believe.

somebody correct me if i'm wrong, please
[Windows Mobile Themes] nsane:
LoL, No.

Lesscro uses WAD2; his theme is not posted here in XDA. He had a thread and it was closed, exactly because he was asking for "mandatory donations". He now has his own little forum and shares his development with those interested in donating to him.

With regards to a torrent not being pyracy; I am afraid that is incorrect. Lesscro is the copyright holder; therefore, you need his pemission to do a copy of his theme. End of the story.

@biernes

You linked to Arley12's work. His theme is for free. Furthermore, Throttle Launcher is for free as well. However, the author of TL allows users to donate and rewards them with a full licence if they do so.

I hope this provides some clarity.
[Windows Mobile Themes] + Que PPC:
yes

i use his theme is kinda cool... is just a theme, if you want WAD cracked or so... go and search dont ask here for that...

mods...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
LOL funny how you used his own words against him.. I would probably suggest sweet talking lesscro insto giving it to you ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tsalta:
"Lesscro is the copyright holder" NOT TRUE if we need to be honest the copyright holder is Microsoft so if we think like that.. Lesscro need also to ask Microsoft can he create Theme like this.. and even to Pay a license.. all this with this theme.. look for me funny its like

I download from some pirat sites MP3 songs for free and then im selling them in my site and pretend you need to pay for the license.. here in XDA 90% of the things are Microsoft Copy Right Ideas etc...
[Windows Mobile Themes] biernes_atrece:
lol! i got it all mixed up. my bad :o
[Windows Mobile Themes] nsane:
Ignorance is a bliss.

Microsoft holds the copyright to the Metro UI, both on the front of the design of the UI and the underlying code. Just so you know, copyright does not protect ideas but only the expression of those idea.

Lesscro coded his own theme, thus owns the copyright to his code; no infringement there.

With regards to the interface, Obviously Lesscro's work is not a copy of the Metro UI...Metro UI is not even COMPLETE. Lesscro merely took inspiration from what has been displayed so far by Microsoft. This is not sufficient to render his theme a derivative work; his theme is definitely an independent creation. As such he does not need a licence.

The only real problematic aspect would be the use of Microsoft's trade marks, in Lesscro's theme. But you didn't even think about that.

I am going to stop discussing this with you. No point in debating IP law on the internet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] RizwanKhan:
alright someone reported a complaint about this thread so i am going to close it but before i do so i will reiterate a point about copyright, donations, and torrents:

yes any work created in expressed form is copyright where as the idea is what can be patented.

secondly the term donation is used for voluntary giving of money so you can't distribute copyright work under "forced donations". if you want to charge a monetary sum for your copyright work than you need to state it as a usage fee or something of that nature NOT donation. i understand the creator of the theme has already had action taken against him for requiring "forced donations" as there is no such thing; due to this he now distributes his theme through different channels.

third seeking torrent for stuff that is distributed under donation basis i.e. payment is not required is not illegal. requesting a torrent of a software that is distributed without requesting money and only donations is perfectly legal.

i will take up any arguments responses on my profile page as long as there is intelligent reasoning used as a basis.
