good point ,;) the ease of switching between roms and the ability to boot more than one rom is a very good advantage
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mystik610:
The Galaxy S is better than both IMO. A friend of mine just got one and the screen on that thing is sick!

Aesthetically I like the looks of the HD2 much better than the EVO. The HD2 looks more sophisticated and classy. The EVO looks a like a toy.

I'd much rather have a phone that runs Android straight out of the box though. Tweaking is fun, and you can tweak the EVO too....the difference is at this point we're tweaking our HD2's just to make them useable. EVO users are tweaking to truly improve the experience with Android.

I'm positive that the HD2 will run Android just as well as the EVO in the very near future (look how far the devs have come in 6 weeks!). The EVO is slightly better in terms of hardware, but not in anyway that makes it signficantly better. For instance, having an 8 megapixel camera on a cellphone doesn't make that much of a difference. Its still a crappy cell-phone lens no matter how many megapixels you cram into the image processor
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poweroutlet:
As we all know, megapixels don't indicate quality. Sensor type and size matters much more and I doubt the Evo is any better here. Anyone can simply rescale an image to a higher resolution. I consider the 8MP over 5MP advantage of the evo to be negligible. IMO, the only real advantages of the evo are the front facing camera and HDMI (which I would never use from a phone anyway).

The HD2 has better build quality, 576 mb ram, looks much nicer and can run multiple OSes.

HD2 wins!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hegemytouch:
Also the galaxy s does not have a flash for the camera...big negative in my eyes...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mouki_9:
flash not even the biggest problem. The problem is that the galaxy s uses very slow memory as internal storage (8 gb for eur model). I have seen one and let it run the quadrant standard bench and it only went to 850 points..... our hd2 not even optimized for android can get to 1100 without breaking sweat. If full ram support is there i believe that number will even be higher.

hd2

EVO 4G - Front Camera - 8 MPX - HDMI - HD Recording - Android OS - 4G/Wiimax

HD2 - 576 RAM - Smaller - And advantage that we can run 2 OSes

the design it's probably the same but it's exactly how you compare 2 SUV something like BMW and Kia both can run but behind the hood it's another story..

How another member say ."it's the smaller brother of EVO"
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mystik610:
EVO has 4G/Wiimax. Tmobile USA has HSPA, which is not only cheaper, but FASTER in speed:

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/06/04/data-speed-showdown-sprint-4g-vs-t-mobile-hspa/

Front Camera: 4G wins there, but who really uses it?

8 MP Camera + HD Recording: Looks good on paper, not so great in real life. It's all still limited by by a crappy lens and image processor. Megapixels and Resolution mean nothing if the source capture/recording is bad. If I want to take high quality pics and HD video, I'll use my SLR (18mega pixels and 1080/24p recording on SLR lenses, with an image processor that makes the specs really mean something :D).

HDMI: Convenient if you use it, but otherwise unnecessary.

Don't get me wrong the EVO is the more preferable route if you don't mind dealing with Sprint. I wouldn't necessarily call the EVO a BMW and the HD2 a Kia though. Under the hood and from a hardware perspective, the two are very similar, with a very slight edge going to the EVO.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poweroutlet:
Kia has better build quality than BMW? lol Because the HD2 is much better built and feels much nicer. Megapixels mean nothing, lens, sensor size/quality is all that matters, and its unlikely the Evos are much better if at all better.

HDMI is only important to people who actually use it, but I can't imagine people would use the HDMI from their phone that much.

Things like RAM, the ability to run multiple OSes are much more useful in everyday life.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kerman19:
Just to add my 2p, Kia actually does have at least equvilent build quality compared to BMW, why do you think they get bagged with 7 a year warranty!?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] juggamonkey:
i have a samsung vibrant(galaxy s) and i like it far as screen quality and everything but it does lag a little with the internal memory , but theres something i love about my hd2 .had a evo on launch didnt really like it after having the hd2 the evo just felt thicker and heavier than the hd2 so i returned it. i constantly find myself switching out between my vibrant and my hd2 i like them both . But i wouldnt have a evo again unless someone sold me theirs for 20 dollars and i could make a major profit :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denny_the_one:
why you take all the advantage of Evo at nonimportant future like "what's ever 5 or 8 MegaPixel are same thinks..HDMI port not day by day usuable and what's remaining etc "

It's not major diferences between hd2 and evo but be seriously ..

I have HD2 and i like this phone very much .. but it's stil remaining the little bro !:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denny_the_one:
I think Samsung have the best screen ever (S.Amoled) .. i have Omnia HD with normal Amoled display and i'm very impressed by the beautifull color and contrast ..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pack21:
moreover smartphone has no lenses to take pictures of as "marriage" quality .... pictures of smartphones are for casual needs, so we want 8 megapixel for what? to fill the microSD or to turn them into media photo quality to put on facebook.

The quality of the HD2 strip gets me more than enough for day to day .....( for the birthday party got a dedicated machine with lenses should be)

How many HDMI 720p quality movies are you willing to put in a Smartphone to see on a TV? We can do this a time or two, but will continue to do?

I have a cable TV out of the Ipod Touch, how many movies I saw on TV? very few .... for this I use a real .mkv machine (Assus O!Play Air HD) and a pendrive.

So I feel that my HD2 is on the level of the EVO ..... but if i buy today, would got for the EVO, but in November there wasn't EVOs ... so I'm very happy with the HD2 FROYOnix.

Very few devices have at this moment Froyo 2.2, and our HD2 is one of them .... yeap!

:D:D

yes I've seen a screen of the samsung Galax S. ... but like everything in life, we can not have, everything .... and I suppose that screen should eat plenty of battery .... pay off? but yes, has a amazing screen quality.

my 0.02

I have a htc incredible, and there is no difference it and my hd2. For the evo, I've only played with it in the store, and the only thing i miss is a camera button and the hdmi port.

the sad part is i still love my nexus one the most, i wish i still had it. they keyboard and the launcher and layout are much better then the htc sense stuff, in my opinion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] warrenb213:
I've got 3 folks in the office with Evo 4G's.

the only thing i'd say the evo has on the hd2 now is really bandwidth. Qik on T-Mobile's server can receive video fine, but the upload it terrible. Couldn't get a steady stream to who I was calling until I used wi-fi.

Other than that.....hd2 oddly enough seems faster.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mystik610:
Tmobile's HSPA network is as fast, if not slightly faster, than Sprints 4G network.

The downside is that HSPA's network coverage is still rather spotty in some areas, though Sprints 4G network coverage isn't much better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mystik610:
I wouldn't call the HD2 the EVO's little brother.....more like the estranged, better looking twin brother who was adopted by the windows mobile family and is desperately trying to reunite with the Android family.

Seriously though, the difference between 5 and 8 megapixels is negligible when you're using a cheap, crappy image processor, and a tiny, super-slow, cell phone lens. In fact, higher megapixel cameras often have WORSE image quality than lower megapixel cameras with similar image processors/lenses. The more megapixels a camera has, the less sensitive it is to light....and unless the lens and image processor are significantly better, the jump from 5 to 8 megapixels will probably produce lower quality pics.

And HDMI output for what...to output HD videos stored on your phone? The EVO's screen has a resolution lower than 720P, so why else would you store true HD videos on a phone unless you do so specifically to output them onto an HDTV? How many people would rather not use one of the other HD capable devices they have around the house to play HD content?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] warrenb213:
how about on the upload side? i was in the middle of downtown portland, H coverage.

HD2 is better

:DWhat other phone on the market can run several OS's (WM and Android) on it. Not to mention poss running WM7 when it comes out. That's 3 OS's I can run on my HD2. The Evo cannot do that.... Yes the Evo has slightly better spec's (which it should. Newer phone), than the HD2, but the HD2 versital (You can do whatever you want to it), the Evo cannot be customized with diff OS's. That being said. HD2 is better............:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bryanpen:
Same here my friend. even other hd2 owners i have met were jealous watching me play with android, with apps downloading and working on it. Even the 3G symbol turned into H for the majority of the time i played with it. I have been using Darkstone Froyo for 3 days straight now and to me 95% of everything works. Only wifi hotspot app crashes for me. Hd2 has the advantage running 2 OS' one device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poweroutlet:
Were you using android? The data driver is incomplete so upload speeds are extremely slow on the hd2 running android for now. This isn't the fault of the HSPA network. Once the data driver is fixed, it should be much much faster.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] warrenb213:
thanks poweroutlet! you cleared that all right up!!! :) when i was looking at my bandwidth used i realized....the hspa network shoulda been able to handle what i was throwing at it. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poweroutlet:
Yep, that sounds about right.

When I ran a speed test, I got 3300 kbps down and 34 kbps up :eek:

Obviously there is a problem there. With the rapid pace of development here though, I would expect it to be fixed really soon.

Hi all,

I'm sure a lot of you are using "advanced task killer". I have a question about this program. I've noticed where are a lot of apps opened when I didn't even use it. It happens pretty often and it drains my battery.

Why is it doing? Can I fix it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admorris:
You are going to start a war in here with that question. There are those that say this task killer does nothing, but I am not one of them. Technically Android is based off of Linux, therefore programs that you see that you say are "opened" are really not. They are sitting there basically waiting to be opened. However, I have found personally that setting my task killer to aggressive and kill on screen close significantly ups my battery life. I would recommend doing a little google research on the matter and decide if it's worth it for you or not.

So I've just been playing with Google Picasa, have you seen the face detection!?!? It picks out the faces of people, you tell it who a few of them are and off it goes, through your photo album detecting who they all are!

It does need validation from time to time, but once it gets the hang of it, it's pretty amazing how well it picks people out.

Anyway, so what I'm wondering, will they every make an app that either lets me point my camera at a friend and it tells me their name (if I have them in my album) or maybe if it just auto tagged a photo (which might be just as good) straight after I've taken it.

I have a terrible memory for names, so this would be awesome :)
