I've got both (HD2 stock 1.66; Desire stock Froyo)

What is your texting problem?

The HD2 keyboard wasn't the best but I recently returned my phone because I had display problems and HTC installed hotfix 08787, which greatly improved typing accuracy. Having said that I've got swype on both so its not much of an issue anyway.

I mostly use the HD2. When I swap to the Desire I have a couple of days of 'wow this is great' but then I always go back to the HD2 because

1. The desire screen is tiny in comparison

2. I can tweak things on the HD2 that I can't on the Desire (not rooted yet). My HD2 is exactly how I want it; my Desire isn't. OK if I root perhaps I can get the same level of customisation...perhaps.

3. I use Winmo app 'Secubox' everyday and there's no Android equivalent

I haven't installed Android on my HD2 yet, but the point is that you can, giving you the best of both worlds?
[Desire General] wakers:
I have installed the Hotfix and it has helped but it can be very laggy when texting...

I'm running the energy rom as he doesn't use the HTC messaging which improves the lag, but its still not as fluid as say an Iphone.

I have an early HD2 don't know if the screens are the same on all hd2's but as i've mentioned typing on my missus HD mini is so much more pleasant...

I don't like swype tried it and its not for me...
[Desire General] iouk:
I had an HD2 and got so p*ssed off with winmo and the texting problem that I got a desire (free upgrade).

The HD2 is now on ebay a month after having the Desire.

Different class.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Had the HD2 for 7 months, only worked properly after I baked my own custom ROM.

Desire, out the box, is amazing! Forget about the HD2 screen, Desire is more than big enough and you can use it in one hand!! The colours are another level (not seen the SLCD Desire so can't comment on that) and Android is just a better phone.

I also had major issues with the HD2 keyboard basically ignoring what I was pressing and doing it's own thing. Don't get that on the Desire so that alone is worth swapping.

Never been happier! I've just today gone back to the stock 2.2 ROM as there was a slightly newer version out. Will most likely root again once the S-OFF hack has gone public
[Desire General] Svala88:
I had an HD2 for 5 months:) I loved the screen! That was basically it..but overall it was a great phone! (hated WinMo)

But i am so much happier now with the desire :)

You won't be dissapointed.
[Desire General] gogol:
Wait for the upcoming Desire HD ... September 15, 2010.

HTC will announce it in London.
[Desire General] Oneirophage:
I have both the HD2 and Desire - HD2 screen cracked and got the Desire as the store had no HD2s in stock.

Both are good phones - I actually prefer the Sense implementation on the HD2, but that's most likely because I'm more used to it. The screen was obviously a nice bonus. While the Desire felt small at first and probably still does, it is entirely an artifact of coming from that huge screen. App choice is far better on the Desire though.

I'm on Vodafone as well. I'd say wait for the Desire HD - from what's been leaked it's a Desireified HD2/Evo, lso you'll get the best of both worlds. You don't gain that much going from HD2 to Desire, not enough to burn an upgrade on, especially not so close to a new release :)
[Desire General] wakers:
Yeah sounds like good advice didn't realise till today that HTC are making some announcements on the 15th, will defo wait for now...
[HTC Aria Accessories] shark0807:
Does anyone know of a holster clip for the HTC Aria? I was selling a Blackberry Curve 8530 with a clip that has the front of the phone facing the clip, which ended up looking really cool, and I'd like one for the Aria. I've checked around places, and I have found no holster clips at all that aren't really just pouch cases.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dew.man:
Been looking for one myself for a while and finally came across this one:

http://www.wirelessemporium.com/p-56311-premium-force-holster-w-sleep-mode-function-for-htc-aria.asp

Ordered, but haven't received it yet so I can't comment on quality...
[HTC Aria Accessories] Scurvy76:
The best holster I've found is one for a "classic" ipod. Do a little cutting to open the area up for the screen. It's cheap and easy. I can use the phone either in the case, or slide it out..

www dlo com/products/view/HCFolio_classic
[HTC Aria Accessories] Lacessit:
Looks to be the same as one I picked up @ wirelessground.com/htc-aria-accessories.html They actually have quite a few products for the aria.

Don't know anything about them as I just ordered the holster last night.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dew.man:
update on the holster - although not as nice as the seidio holsters I've used with my other phones, this one does the job nicely.
[HTC Aria Accessories] 22-40:
Thanks for the uodate. Can you leave it face-in with this holster, and if so how easily does the Aria eject from the clip? Alternatively, can you leave it face-out and answer calls without removing it at all?
[HTC Aria Accessories] dew.man:
Does not fit face-out.

Face in, it's a nice tight fit. Almost too tight.

Works well once you get used to it...
[HTC Aria Accessories] Lacessit:
So ordered sat received Friday. Seems to be a nice holster. Fit is tight, felt is a nice touch, and it has a nice low profile.

For $12 I'm certainly not going to complain, and have no problem recommending it for those looking for a holster.
[HTC Aria Accessories] shark0807:
I ordered one myself, judging from descriptions this is exactly what I am looking for, thank you dew.man for the recommendation!
[HTC Aria Accessories] shark0807:
Unfortunately, this clip broke last week as I was scraping ice off of my car Windows, looks like its time to look for a more sturdy one.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dexmix:
cheap plastic, heck all rigid plastic does not handle freezing temperatures very well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tsttse:
I am running an android build (froyo v2) on my stock hd2 rom. I have had a few issues but they have all since passed. The only thing I miss is the notification lights. For example if I had an unread sms it would keep blinking. This doesnt seem to work on the android build. Another problem I have is that when I charge, the led light doesn't stay on, it only blinks if i unlock the screen and touch the notification bar, but it never stays on....

I did a search on google and on the forums and couldn't find anything.

Is there something I am doing wrong?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] omarquez:
I have the same problem. My LED light no longer stays on.... I cant find any solutions after searching the forums...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] edangel:
this is not an issue that only u have...this is a known problem and still devs working on this..!read every time u download a build.. that led lights still not work properly!works only for someone when battery is charging..but when u have a text message or a missed call its not blinkin..thats normal..!i hope they will fix it soon..!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] liehuo:
Hi. Is this issue resolved yet? I am using daniest v4.2. I went to display to enable the led notification option for miss call and sms but it is still not lighting up. However it lights up in red when on low battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daevoq:
some release use some libs that break led notification.. i use a release like that and i've solved my problem with "led me know".. it's an app that activate led notification. sometimes don't work fine but is well.

sorry for my english! ^^
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] liehuo:
Thanks! I will reply with a feedback after trying it out. Thanks friend!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daevoq:
you're welcome man! ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] liehuo:
After trying out led me know for a day, it seems very stable. No issues at all. Blinking of led stops once missed calls and unread messages are dismissed. By the way i had the compatibility mode enabled.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel:
I have an O2 HTC Desire

although I can unlock and root and put generic rom on it, is there a way to change the id code to a generic one so that I can get OTA generic updates ?

or is it insidiously linked to IMEI code or something similar ?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henryfranz2005:
hello guys my cousin gave me his xperia and well I was happy. But one major problem. It's battery life. May I ask you guys what is the rating of your charger. mine is a charger not made by SE. I thought that if i would buy a new original charger then battery life would improve. I also think that the ROM installed on mine is not energy efficient. IDK . I'm so new to this
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny4911:
charger won't improve battery life, unless its not charging fully, which if it reports 100% it probably is, if its not an official rom then yes, battery can differ a lot
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul c:
I have installed a couple of custom ROMs, and after a few months battery consumption increases significantly.

Doesn't sound very scientific, but between installing/uninstalling applications, modifying settings, I find I need to start off again with a fresh ROM.

The ROMs I use have Manila/Sense, I have a suspicion that the increased power requirement is a function of something having gone wrong with Manila.

I would try reinstalling the ROM and reinstalling all your applications again (NOT a restore, since you may reintroduce the problem)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henryfranz2005:
maybe you can let me know if I can use a 1A charger for xperia? and where can I buy it. I mean what are the rating of your chargers? thanks
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul c:
you can use any charger, since the appliance PULLS the current it needs.

Anything from a PC USB cable, to any generic charger, including a car charger.

Yes, some will take a bit longer to reach full charge if the rating is lower (like the USB feed) - but I understand your problem is the DIScharge, not the charge in itself.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Black'd:
Just some feedback from my experience

Agreed totaly:

I am using the original charger in my home, a PC USB cable from an external hard disk at home or at work and the car charger from a Mio Navigator that is left permanently in my car. The time needed to get to 100% differs according to each method used but it does complete. So how u charge is deffinately not an issue. ;) I can also confirm that the device heats differently in each case from relatively cool to hot.

The issue of draining comes mostly from different roms configuration. Keep in mind that the battery after flashing needs a couple of days to pass and get charged one or two times so as to get to its max capacity. Also keep in mind that if u use for instance the WiFi or play some games or use an app that needs system resources battery will drain as hell regardless of rom. Personally with Valkyrie and Energy roms with a normal phone and messaging use I have managed to keep my X1 on for 3 to 3.5 days max. Other times I have had to plug it 2 times the same day due to heavy use...

BTW Henry we were all new once, no need to appologize.:p
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henryfranz2005:
Thank you sir. I think the problem lies in the ROM i installed 826X personally i think it is energy efficient since i just use my phone for texting. (about 400 sms a day) and about 15 mins of wifi :) thank you.

Can you recommend a ROM which is known for it's efficiency (energy) thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Black'd:
I personally use Energy this period. But keep in mind that rom selection is based on ones personal prefs. All of them are custom made and each cook has his own point of view. I guess that u will have to test a few before u can say with certainty that you like one in specific. Just keep trying...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henryfranz2005:
thank you sir for being so helpful :) I will personally try the popular roms :) 3 roms down!

[G1 Android Development] R3N0V4D0:
here is a post Cyanogen did back in June 30th of 2010

It’s been just under a week since Google released Froyo (Android 2.2) into the open-source world and we’ve made great progress on CyanogenMod-6 already. Approximately 20 of us on the CM team are working hard on merging all of the community-developed extras in, as well as porting to new devices. Google did a great job and really gave us the best foundation to start from this time around.

Here’s where we stand so far.. Most of the CyanogenMod extras have been merged. Some features are being reworked (like trackball settings), new device ports are well underway. The first devices to see CM6 experimental releases will most likely be the Nexus One and Droid simply because those are the devices that “just work”. The Dream/Sapphire port has everything working but one small issue remains. Wes Garner has the Slide port well underway. I don’t have a status report of the Desire, Incredible, and Evo versions at this time.

I’m expecting that we should have some experimental releases by the weekend, but please don’t spam us asking for ETAs.. We are just as excited to get this out as you are

You can follow our progress on Github or drop by irc.freenode.net in #cyanogenmod or #koush.

Regarding updates to CM5.. A small update will be coming this weekend to fix a few bugs but the focus will remain on CM6!

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us with testing, bugfixing, code, new features, and of course donations. CM is what it is because of the community. Thank you!

just curious for us not using froyo will there be an update to CM5??..

Discuss

[G1 Android Development] R3N0V4D0:
Bamp?

10char? anybody what to discuss the promise he made??
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
This is really not good that he promised something and then didn't fullfil this promise, but honestly... CM6 is so much better than CM5.08, personally I am not even thinking on trying 2.1 ROMs, I really don't understand why to bother with older software if newer gives you not only new features and same if not better speed and stability.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
There is no point. Same reason why we don't see any progress on donut roms. They're old. 2.2 runs one hell of a lot better than any 2.1 roms did. Give up on CM 5 and come to the now.
[G1 Android Development] Hellek:
I regret moving away from Donut (CM4.x). For me CM6 works worse than CM5 and CM 5 works worse than CM4. The only reason I am staying with CM6 is the hope that 6.1 will improve the situation. The main issue is the lack of memory and what follows as consequence (can't view big websites, can't take photos, apps close themselves due to lack of RAM, push mail does not work, etc.)

These problems are not always occuring, but they occur most of the time, especially if the last reboot is more than 2 or 3 hours in the past. I recommend waiting for CM6.1 and then reassess whether it is viable to switch.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
This is a punishment for lack of exploring. I've been using 2.2 ROMs now for a while and aren't having any of the issues you're having. Did you mess with any of the cm settings? What about the adw launcher settings? All of these play a part in the functionality of the ROM. Some advice:

Under CM Settings > Performance Settings:

Use Compcache @ 25%
Disable JIT
Disable Surface dithering
Make sure Lock Home in Memory is checked
VM Heap Size 32m

For ADW Launcher:

Screen Preferences:

Make sure you are only using 3. This helps with the slowness

System Preferences:

Disable Scrollable Widget Support
Check System Persist

UI Settings:

Uncheck Desktop Dots
Uncheck Secondary ActionButtons
Uncheck desktop Indicator

With these settings, I have no problems running any 2.2 rom on my G1. Also, I have widgets on each of my screens.
[G1 Android Development] R3N0V4D0:
when you press anything in setting or any app.. does it load instantly?

or is there a second or 2 lag? i strip my donut roms completly remove everything google including market, and i have 35.43 mb free on my data partition. its stupidfast. but csdi is the fastest @ that setting.

most of the time when i end apps with task killer i have 55 mb free.

so i can load it up with widgets if needed.

what im trying to say i have achieved that speed with froyo but only if my cpu is clocked @ 650+ all the time and super stripped. gah i rambled.. i hope you understand what im tying 2 say.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
There's a million requests for this all the time. Run the 2.1 RUU to unroot your phone or unroot it some other way and go get it exchanged while you still can.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
There are some Eris handsets that have trackballs which work perfectly in the main O/S, but not in Amon_RA v1.6.2. I suppose this is due to some unspecified difference in the kernel driver code, but I have no way to prove or disprove that.

The OP didn't specify whether he is in that situation or not, but folks that have handsets which exhibit this kind of behavior will be hard pressed to demonstrate that their trackball "doesn't work" to VZW - when it seems to work just fine in the main OS.

There is a thread over on AF that details how you can manually use adb with Amon_RA to make a nandroid backup, wipe data and cache, and then flash a ROM (all via ADB), but I suppose I would be reluctant to propose it to newbs, or anyone else that is command-line challenged.

Feel free to search for it, though: look for "/sbin/recovery --wipe_data"

0x00000000 (0)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] samseo:
there's just too many of them, and I've not seen any thread or page that actually compare them or mention what kind of method are the developers applying. is it possible for any one start a thread to share their experience and what kind of improvement is being applied on the device...

another question, with so many lagfix out there, which one is not suitable for SGS?

I hope i'm not bringing any sensitive issue here, but i believe this is what newbies like me would love to know/learn... =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opensourcefan:
I appreciate the simplicity of this question. There are many on this forum that are clearly very educated in this content but many of us don't quite get a 100% of what's going on.

I second the question, what are the differences? I know it makes the SGS way faster but why do we need it? Is this something that needs to be applied to all or this fixing something specific in 2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Neo-ST:
As much as I know, lagfixes are for SGS only! Other Android devices don't have lag problems. If I understood right it is because SGS is the only one which uses old and slow FAT32 file system while others are on Linux based EXT file systems that are newer and faster, thus giving better response at demanding moments. Lagfix creates such an EXT partition which then works like buffer between the FAT32 and the CPU/memory (someone correct me if I'm wrong)...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Actually, the program storage on the Galaxy S isn't FAT32, it's Samsung's proprietary RFS file system (which appears to be the problem). FAT32 isn't particularly slow, and is used pretty much universally for SD cards.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arashed31:
As far as I know, RFS is based off FAT16 with journaling support.

*knock knock....

anyone like to add more to this discussion?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Voodoo fix- i think uses ramdisk (safest imho)

Ext3/ ext 4 fix- need to make partition on external card (2nd safest as can only damage external card)

Oneclickfix- makes ext2 partition file in internal memory (i have no probs with it right now but can be most dangerous as its internal ram which can't be replaced)

There's this app on market called swapper2 which no one has talked about which seems to make a ext3 swap file. I think its for all phones rather then just for sgs
