No. GSM and CDMA are 2 completely different technologies. GSM uses SIM cards of course, while CDMA uses ESN numbers to identify the phone to the network. Sorry, but no. Unlocked the HD2 can be used worldwide on any network that is GSM and uses SIM cards however.
[HD2 General] polo735:
The Hd2 is a gsm phone. It will not work with CDMA providers.

so....

if i switch to virgin mobile and one of their phones.. does someone here want to buy my htc hd2 ?

[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
It's possible, but you should probably use another part of the forum for that. I'm willing to bet that there is a "for sale / to buy" fork over on the General Forums.

But you will more than likely get better results on Craigslist. The average "newish" HD2 is going for $250, though I saw a "new-in-the-box" on there yesterday for $300.

Hope this helps :D
[HD2 General] nicknowsky:
yeah I just bought my HD2 on craigslist for $200,(90% new) but you gotta price it appropriate, cause there are SO many HD2 for sale out there now. Dont get me wrong they are still agreat great phone, but tons of people bought them a few months back when T-Mobile had those crazry free phone promos goins, and 75% of those foolios are now already reselling them, but yeah $250-300 is fair price for HD2 in good condition
[HD2 General] liquidmass:
HmM

I have the chance to pick up a HTC HD2 (tmobile) for a great price. I know tmobile is GSM and VM is CDMA. I currently use a VM Intercept.. After reading the specs for the HD2 It says GSM/CDMA... How come it says both? does this mean the phone IS capable of flashing for VM CDMA use?

I've got a contact with the owner of a company who builds custom battery chargers, currently they develop chargers for marine applications (on-board ships, subs, ect.)

if we R&Ded a charger for our phones.... perhaps even built it into a cradle... would anyone be interested?
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Who's paying for the R&D and what is the MOQ?
[HD2 Accessories] Ryan79:
it's my father's company. thought started out as mainly designing a better charger for myself... but depending on the results & interest, we might produce a few more.

company name is Quality Marine (www.qualitymarinechargers.com)

current model we're looking at is the HD2 (since that's the phone I got) but again... depending on results & interest, we might expand to other models.

first thing we would need to do is see the condition of the battery after a standard charge... see the limits of the battery, and a few other factors. Potentials would be better battery life (not how long a charge lasts... but lifetime of the battery) faster charge times, and potentially other factors... (as we haven't done any testing with the battery yet it's hard to say)

anyways... that's where we are at currently
[HD2 Accessories] jfu2364:
Charger

I would definitely be interested.
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Check out the one at Obostore... Cradle plus extra battery charger in one. I picked one up and it's great.
[HD2 Accessories] Ryan79:
Already have it.... if you look, the output voltage on the charger is different then the stock HD2 charger (it's lower)

it's possible with the internal circuitry it could be a "trickle charger".... but I doubt it.

Also... i'm not so sure I like how the phone sits in the cradle... it feels to put the majority of the weight on the microUSB port and not on the cradle.

it's an ok cradle for the price ($20 if I recall?) but I think it could be done better.
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
I agree... It could be better for sure... I wish it was angled so that the phone would rest on the back of the phone and so it's not sitting straight up... The question is, is it even worth it since this is a WinMO6.5 phone? Tmobile could stock selling HD2's when the Winmo7 phones start coming in.
[HD2 Accessories] Ryan79:
don't know about you... but I'm not going to drop my HD2 for something else for at least 2 years, when I'm due for an upgrade again.... Don't really feel like paying for the same phone again :p

And... if I've learned anything regarding MS products, you should always wait till after the first SP before you use their new stuff haha ;)
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
True. I'm just thinking about this dude throwing down a TON of cash to make the MOQ on something like this and being stuck with them because the demand isn't huge... Seems risky from a $$$ standpoint.
[HD2 Accessories] Ryan79:
TBH, I don't think the MOQ will really be that high.... we're only talking about a 3.7V battery after all ;)

the concept & design will be mine... as the project will still start with making something better for my phone :p and as I said... depending on how it turns out, we could make more depending on results & interest.
[HD2 Accessories] anhyeuemmaimai:
The stock USB charger for the HD2 is already very good. I use it to charge all of my USB devices from Garmin GPS to HD2 and other things
[HD2 Accessories] ElaineD:
Did you ever make that better charger?
[General Questions and Answers] OGGI_HD2:
a theme can be not in a righr division, but more suitable did not find..

hello, friends!)

I ask for a help in reasoning about philosophy of mobile telecommunications..

task: to find the best copula plane-tab & phone

situation: I have htc hd2 (unlim sim only for 3g) for medias/the internet and nokia n82 (unlim gsm for bells), areolas of habitation is Kyiv.

desire: to get greater size of multimedia, more comfortable internet, more beautiful and more stable to replace the hd2 and that old nokia for anything else, more attractive.

a budget into account we do not take.

ideas on devices: tabs - hp slate, samsung galaxy, ipad.

phones: iphone4, htc hd7, blackberry 9105

reasoning:

bigger than hd2 screen necessary - it is a tab. tab - in a pocket will not carry, so, probably, a phone is needed with possibilities large outage of standart phonew for calls - for this purpose iphone4 or hd7(it can be waited). or suddenly blackberry will treat shallow - it more comfortable for rings, sms, but only.. and it is necessary to read books on a smoketime and maps in a car, etc..

ptab - like the ipad for it beautifulness, glamourness, comfort of present functions, but not by largenesses.although if it will be an iphone4 in a pocket - the ipads sizes are not important then, because i dont have to get ipad always withe me..

samsung galaxy is liked measuring - and tab and in a pocet it is possible to put(small.bag) althaught a large desire, but not sure in stability and comfort of work.but flash is better, what we cant say about ipad (in fact in sams flash support better then in a ipad, am i right?).

hp slate very interesting for two things - win7 & usb port. win os gives unlim programs and maximal flash,usb port gives external portable memory and usb modem 4g, which differently will not get in a mobile kind in Kyiv.although, in the street we can use sim 3g.. and in an office and home wifi point.but not how a little bit too much - there are 3 internets: at home wire unlim wifi, in the street - 3g unlim sim and in an office again nevertheless wimax wifi for a tab and phone..

in any way it is not succeeded to optimize networkconfigurations, it depend of hardware support of mobile devices((

what ideas does have on that score? what will prompt, to what predisposed?

what was chosen by you, in theese tasks and gravitations to so different devices?

.while id type it on my, already old, hd2, it thought, iphone4 with samsung galaxy can be better? .horse-radish with that usb port of hp's slate,and it is not bothering eindows)), and under the android of POE sufficiently.and froys will be quite good) and on smoketime with iphone i can reef books or news and to ringwith maps in a car.as though, ideal variant, however, i feel, something wrong, smth missed.. out something that??! rescue, or soon I will bite elbows from

nerves (already with it about two weeks constantly.)

beforehand thank you for "patience of manyletters post" and ondescending to so fanciful turns.. ;)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
Hey all, quick question for the community as I am a virgin (so to speak) when it comes to flashing custom ROM's to my Vibrant. I have yet to flash anything other than the camera from the captivate (I think that was it). On that note, I am looking at flashing over Eugene's Frankin-Twiz ROM than flashing JAC's XMOD OC/UV. My question is this:

When I flash the ROM, I know Eugene made it auto erase all the old stuff. My question is this, will I still retain any of the programs I had installed or will it be like a fresh install (such as when I pulled my Vibrant out of the box), I assume that will be the case, if so, do I just use Titanium Backup to restore it all like I had it?

The other question I had was whether or not when I back up my ROM, does it save any of those same settings (I.E.- Home screen layout, Programs installed, etc.) or is it only saving the "OS" so to speak?

Does the Kernel overwrite anything or is it just re-configure how the CPU is ran?

I really appreciate the info everyone that responds!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjhart85:
First, you'll want to make a NANDroid backup. This backs up everything (think of it like a ghost image of your system). It's what is absolutely NEEDED in case something breaks or you just don't like the new ROM. When you restore it, it'll put everything back exactly as it was.

Second, If you have titanium backup backup all the apps/data, it should retain just about everything, including items on the home screens. I've only used it with ADW Launcher (not the TW Launcher), but the only thing that never shows up properly is widgets for whatever reason.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
Alright, cool. I made a nandroid backup right when I got it rooted before I did anything else. So I will want to make a second nandroid of my system how it is now since I have made a lot of changes since than so I have something top fall back to?

However the new rom won't have any of my current setup until I restore it with titanium correct?

[I be posting this from my wicked awesome vibrant!]
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamVib:
Depends on ROMs, but in Eugene's it's like it came fresh out the box except of the new features of the rom.

And yes. If you made a lot of changing do another backup, it doesn't hurt.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
Awesome. Thanks for the responses. Looks like I'll be trying out out tonight. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemethb:
I was just wondering, for those of you people that had the I9000M Internal SD fail can you answer the following (approximately):

how many apps did you have installed?

how much of the internal SD was used?

I'm just trying to figure out why they're dying. I have one myself and I'm not exactly using it to its full capacity. I was wondering if people that used their Internal SD more heavily were the ones that were have problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgpound6985:
I was using about 4.5 GB on mine with about 110+ apps. I don't think it has anything to do with the amount being used though. More with the flashing of a Froyo firmware, specifically, doing a factory wipe in Recovery Mode of a Froyo ROM. I was able to flash a Froyo ROM successfully and have it boot up properly once before I decided to do a wipe and pretty much screwed up my internal SD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemethb:
That's the thing though. One person having an issue doesn't which they think resulted from 'this' may not apply to everyone. This is why I'm trying to take a sample and find out what is the biggest culprit (i.e. lag fix, flashing ROMs, amount of storage, etc.).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1chung:
i believe this is also the cause of my sdcard corruption. ever since i installed froyo, i lost half the sdcard, and now i can't mount it in recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i can't comment yet

still working

have over 400 apps installed

only around 400 MB free in the internal SD everything else consume by Apps and Maps

i keep changing apps frecuently, and installing updates as they appear on Android Market
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devhux:
I was using about 10GB of my internal SD card when I chose to download a Froyo build (JPK). Soon after installing it, I tried plugging it into my computer via Mass Storage mode, and then couldn't get out of it. Eventually the phone went blank, it vibrated a few times, and the only way to get it to do anything was to pull the battery. Once I did that, the internal SD storage was toast.

I was trying quite a few things to get it to recognize the internal storage, but in the end I ended up bricking the phone even more. Now it will bring up the Galaxy S GT-9000 screen, light up the Back/Menu buttons for a few seconds, and then reboot. Download mode and recovery mode are now gone and the only thing I've had it do is go into Forced Upload mode (which as far as I've searched) is pointless for us now.

I have a feeling it's more related to the lagfixes. I had uninstalled the Voodoo one soon after trying it out, but I guess that wasn't enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedauntlessone:
Sorry, but what? Let me get this straight, you tried voodoo lag fix, uninstalled immediately, and yet you still believe it is the lagfix that destroyed the SD card? You think that applying the lagfix mod somehow utterly destroys your SD card even though you've used it for an extremely short amount of time? If that's true then most root users would have bricked their vibrants already.

Seriously, that makes no sense. I stand by my theory that there's a bad batch of SD cards that went into the i9000m production. Bad SD batches happen all the time. Not something uncommon. On top of that, all Voodoo lagfix does is change the file system of the SD card. Would your hard drive die if you formatted it from ntfs to fat32? No. This is not mentioning there are quite a few vibrants that have not used lagfix with dead sd cards.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devhux:
If it was purely a hardware failure of the flash chips, then it would make sense to have the failures occur randomly. As it is right now, most of the failures seem to happen when people flash the newer Froyo builds (or very soon afterwards).

As far as the lagfix is concerned, I'm by no means implying that this is the only cause of the failures, but if something is going wrong in the conversion of file systems (however minute it may be), it is possible for the file system to become corrupted over time.

I don't think we know for sure whether it's a hardware failure or a software one. This is made even more difficult by the fact that we are generally limited in what recovery options are made available (not like a desktop, where I could boot a Linux distro off a USB stick and directly access the file system to troubleshoot). I do realize some have been able to try and get utilities like GParted to run on the phone's internal memory, but it's still not nearly as convenient as running the same utility on a desktop HDD/SSD.

Feel free to disagree with me, but I know once I get my phone back, I won't be installing a lagfix (or a custom build for that matter).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Hmm.. So i9000m's had a bad batch of memory? interesting. I'll remember that when someone comes asking for problems and see if their device is a i9000m , BTW what is the i9000m ? Captivate?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedauntlessone:
i9000m = Canada Bell Mobility version of Samsung vibrant

i9000 = international version
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedauntlessone:
I missed this post completely. People are having some MAJOR confirmation bias for WHY the i9000m dying.

Just because you do something, it doesn't always imply causation. There are plenty of vibrants around with dead SDs without ever installing lagfix or froyo. It's purely coincidence, because the SD was going to fail anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Actually, I don't think there is enough evidence to come to any conclusion regardless.. But there is no evidence proving that the lagfix cannot be part of the problem, or no reliable proof. especially since nobody totally understands how the internal hardware works on this phone though. In fact, the "evidence" that wear leveling happens on the hardware controller is based solely on the sentence "computer SSD's do it that way" (ie, no evidence). And a lot of other evidence related to other problems i'm seeing is also based on assumption.

1) First isolate if the problem is faulty hardware or simply a formatting issue..

2) Work out what ROM's and such people were using

3) Work out if they were using a lagfix.

4) CONFIRM that the internal SD is actually dead. Many people here jump to conclusions too quickly.

5) Also, work out if there is an easy way to get "batch numbers".. Maybe it's isolated to a specific hardware batch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callous-1:
i was on official jh2 rom from bell w/ voodoo lagfix. Never attempted flashing another rom. I noticed one time it crashed so i pulled the battery for an hour and that had fixed the issue (or so i thought). Was working for about a day and it crashed again. Out of desperation i tried flashing other roms like froyo. So the way i see it, its either general faulty hardware or the lagfix...not flashing froyo builds.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devhux:
My i9000M had never crashed until soon after installing the JPK firmware, and in my case one crash was enough to "break" the SD Card. Again though, the fact it only crashed when I installed Froyo does not mean this was the cause.

Hopefully we can figure it out, because between the 3-button recovery mode issue and this, I'm considering getting another Android device instead.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaestroSeven:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgpound6985:
3 button was also working on mine. Like the others, JPK booted correctly but I was getting force errors due to me upgrading from Eclair. Then I decided to wipe/factory reset and it was a no go from then on.

I hope we can figure this out. There has to be a way to get to the internal SDCard and repair it properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cornloaf:
I have the T-Mobile US Vibrant and I noticed some weird problems with my internal storage too. I have only rooted and lagfixed my phone. I noticed it was taking longer and longer to open photos in my gallery and sometimes they don't open at all. Sometimes the phone will not mount as a storage device on my laptop. In the past 4 days, my phone has crashed hard twice. The first time I had to boot into recovery and wipe personal data and download all my apps and set my email accounts again. This morning my phone lost all the contacts from Facebook, Touchdown (Exchange) and Gmail.

This JUST happened to me like, 5 minutes ago. I browse these forums every day and I had never seen any warnings with regards to Froyo screwing up internal sd cards. It seems many of these cases are Froyo related. Now I probably have to take my phone back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callous-1:
Was wondering if there may be a way to fix the internal sd via ADB. I can still see all the files via ADB so i don't think mine is completely bricked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devhux:
If there was a way to push files to your device (adb push <filename) then you could grab a utility like fsck (the chkdsk equivalent in Linux). Sadly, if your phone is in recovery mode, I don't think it will have superuser permission, so I'm not sure if this can be done.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgpound6985:
fsck_msdos is already there in the /system/bin/ folder. Unfortunately, I don't know how to use it. Any attempt I make gives me the same message "[NO WRITE]". I used it as follows:

adb shell

fsck_msdos -f /system/

this seems to be a hardware problem because it happened to my stock bell i9000m. Im currently waiting for it to come back from samsung, sent it in last monday
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlove23:
Its definatly a hardware problem.

My first bell galaxy s internal SD card died after one month of use. I had about 100 apps and was using more than half of the internal sd card. I don't think it has anything to do with space or apps or roms or firmware.

THIS IS A HARDWARE PROBLEM WITH THE INTERNAL SD CARD ON MANY BELL GALAXY S PHONES.

My phone was STOCK when it died with the "can't access internal SD card" error. I didn't even know what firmware was when it died, I found out about this site and all this stuff in my failed quest to fix the phone myself. I eventualy sent it back and got a new one.

I'm sure its possible to brick your phone from flashing bad firmware or doing it wrong, but I'm positive there was a bad batch of SD cards sent out to canada in the first round of galaxy s phones.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghorsey:
This just happened to me, too.

I have flashed many firmwares, tried a lagfix or two, had it rooted and then over the weekend reverted to stock firmware.

It was working perfectly fine until this morning. I started getting Force.Close error messages for the Samsung Social Hub app (wasn't even using it at the time) and I rebooted. Have not been able to boot it up since. I get the Galaxy S splash screen at boot, then a black screen... the two buttons at the bottom will light up then it will either power off completely or just freeze with a black screen (not sure which since it's completely unresponsive).

Tried reflashing several times but no dice. In recovery I try to wipe everything, do factory resets but I'm consistantly presented with the
