[HD7 General] Cruzer1:
My post is really to just confirm what kind of screen HTC is using, ie, a regular TFT screen, as compared with the higher quality screens which others offer (ie SAMOLED and IPS-LCD).

I'm personally stuck between the HD7 and the Omnia7, its either a big ass screen with an overall sexier design imo, or a slightly smaller screen with an aesthetically more pleasing screen. ARGH!
[HD7 General] manlisten:
EDIT: nvm.
[HD7 General] risq:
Depends on what you're going to be using the phone for I guess.

You also have to remember the omnia 7 is only 8GB, where as the HD7 is 16GB.

I wanted the Omnia 7 as I love the screen on my friends SGS. But the Handset price is pretty much £500, which is iPhone 4 territory. Add to that I don't like the rear of the phone at all (FUGLY), the 8GB space and the lack of ability to simply walk into a store in the UK and buy it, I went with the HD7.
[HD7 General] JustinL01:
I believe it is the S-LCD though they cannot call it this. It is better than the HD2 screen for sure.
[HD7 General] Cruzer1:
Omnia 7 actually comes in 16gb also, but theres only one online store (from the US) that's taking preorders for that model, that I know of. Not sure how reliable they are though. I emailed the guy and he said he expects the 16gb model to ship late November. 8gb is enough for my needs, plus there's skydive as backup :D

It's definitely not SLCD if you have a look at the engadget reviews, they compare it with the Mozart, which has a confirmed SLCD panel, and it's obvious the color reproduction of the HD7 is lower than that of the Mozart.

edit: It is better than the HD2's screen mainly because it can produce 16million colours, rather than the 65k limit which the HD2's screen had, but again, its not an SLCD panel which is a shame :(
[HD7 General] KraFT_mk:
It’s a shame that HTC won’t come up clean with a statement about the LCD type

Net is full with copy/paste reviewers about the S-LCD screen.

Apparently they are letting this false news spread with "we_didn’t_told_you_ that_HD7_is_ S-LCD_phone" in their pocket.

Well I just finished playing around with an HD2 and honestly even if this phone has the exact same screen it's not a big deal. The screen is very good. My Captivate's screen was definitely superior when I compared them side by side but that's not to say the screen was bad at all. Very good colors and viewing angles, nice black levels. I woudn't worry.
[HD7 General] RussST24:
Hi Guys,

I dont have any official anwers for you but I put the following side by side.

Samsung Galaxy S

iPhone 4

HTC HD7

Heres the deal, I use the Galaxy S as my main phone and it is a Super AMOLED display. In my option it is superior to the iphone 4 just on black contrasts alone.

When it comes to my HD7 its inferior to both and in my opinion the screen in a normal TFT 4.3.

Its very nice on its own and anyone will not be disapointed with it. But when you hold it next to the Galaxy S you see the difference instantly in quality of blacks etc.

Super AMOLED has no backlight bleeding from any angle of view so black is black not washed out grey when on an angle.

Again let me state this. If you have never had a Super AMOLED display you will love the HD7.

I on the other hand always notice its lack of black contrast because I was spoilt. Never mind.

If this was going to be my main phone then I personally would get the Omnia just for the screen. Its just a second play phone for me to see WP7 so I can live with it.

Hope this helps

[HD7 General] tbk21:
The HD7 and Desire HD have almost identical specifications. So I assume the screen will be also the same. Maybe if some one can test it we would know for sure.
[HD7 General] scdonald:
Just wanted to feedback my recent experience.

I recently purchased the hd7 after being a bit frustrated with the galaxy s and the roughness and complexities of the android OS. I still have the galaxy s as i am in the process of selling it and looking at the screens side by side I have to agree with the impressive contrast and colour levels of the samsung but my personal opinion is that they are over saturated and unnatural and cause the pixels to lose all definition. If you look at the same image on both phones the hd7 looks much sharper and text is definitely more legible on the hd7.

My flat mate has also just purchased the desire HD and on first glance the screens seem identical in colour reproduction and brightness but i will need to load up the same image on both to make a more complex comparison. On a side issue one thing we have noticed is that his desire hd seems much worse on battery consumption. Would love to see someone test this properly.
[HD7 General] bhogal:
I have just compared my HD7 to a Trophy and the difference in screen contrast, brightness and viewing angles is amazing.

The Trophy screen is much more brighter and vivid even at a completely sideways view. The colours don't wash out as you turn it away from yourself.

I'm surprised that the Trophy seems to have a much better quality screen than the HD7...
[HD7 General] trajan204:
I think trophy has the SLCD screen... None of the 4.3 inch screens are SLCDs. Thats the difference you are seeing... Correct me if i am wrong.
[HD7 General] bhogal:
Well, HTC support have confirmed to various users that the HD7 screen is a S-LCD, but the HTC support are hardly a reliable source!!
[HD7 General] Spybreak:
No matter how many times this is said it will not become true. The HD7s screen is NOT an SLCD. Anyone with a pair of eyes can see it clearly. Viewing angles are poor, screen temperature is warm, brightness is quite low and so is pixel response time. Those are all attributes of standard LCD screens, not SLCDs.
[HD7 General] manlisten:
Definitely not an SLCD. But IMO it's still a good screen.
[HD7 General] eyan15:
Posted some comparison shots with Venue Pro's AMOLED screen.

The HD7 screen is visible more vibrant than the one in HD2. You really see the difference.

Except for the flimsy plastic back cover, HD7 is much nicer than HD2

Hi

I have created a 700 and something partition on my sd card, but when i install.an app I am not if app2sd is working. For example when I installed mini squadron lite (12 megabites) it takes up 2 mg in mg system memory . and it also seems now that many of my apps are now going staight to the system memory . People are saying to enable app2sd in samdroid tools but I don't know how tp do this. Any help?
[Galaxy Spica General] gen_scheisskopf:
Run SamdroidTools (app in your phone). You will see a section called Apps2sd. Click "Apps2sd settings", there you can enable and disable it. Moving dalvik-cache to sd is not necessary.

After enabling apps2sd reboot the phone. During boot all your apps (and dalvik-cache if you chose to move it) will be moved to sd ext2 partition so it will take some time.

To check if apps2sd is running open Terminal Emulator and input "df" command (without quotes), look for line beginning with /dev/block/mmsblk0p2- numbers after this are: 1k-blocks (this is size), Used, Aviable and %Use in this order. If %Use is different than 0- app2sd is on.
[Galaxy Spica General] paddyherklots:
the problem is I can't find samdroid tools on my phone
[Galaxy Spica General] gen_scheisskopf:
Sorry, didn't notice. SamdroidTools is a standard component of samdroid kitchen, it's not included in rooting package.

1) make a backup

2) use this update package and apply in recovery

3) after installation wipe cache and dalvik-cache also in recovery (do not touch data/cache option- this is factory wipe)

4) reboot and test if SamdroidTools work

I can not guarantee that this package will work as SamdroidTools are in my system as a standard.

But I am quite sure that all necessary files for SamdroidTools are included and that it will not screw your system.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlaxLax:
Dear all

I write this post as I hope to get some input and some expert suggestions on the course of action I should take with my phone.

For many years I have been supplied with a phone through my company but it seems to be always the crappy old Nokia. Good for making telephone calls but worthless for anything else.

So recently I bought a Galaxy S on a business trip to China. I love the phone, it works and by now I have almost no Chinese letters and applications left anymore. This is really something else; I'll never go back to the company Nokia. Never!

I think most of the applications are working and I have access to the Android Marked. However, Youtube is not installed or working and I think that the GPS is a little off.

Now I read a lot about Froyo and I bet I would want to get that on my phone, I am also pretty sure that I want to get the phone totally de-Chinese and preferably into something Danish or at least English.

What do I do next?

I have been reading so much on this site that I am getting dizzy. Flashing, rooting, updating, kies(hey, I actually got it working now (again) :confused: ) Odin, JM1, JPK etc.

Now my phone has the following;

ProductCode: I9000HKDVD2

PDA: I9000XXXXX

Phone: I9000BUJG1

CSC: I9000GVD2JG1

SalesCode: VD2

Reading through posts on this forum I never saw anyone with the same codes as mine.

Model number: GT-I9000

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Kernel version: 2.6.29 root@SE-S602 #2

Build number: ECLAIR

As mentioned, I bought the phone in China and I have no idea if it is branded (with Google printed on the back cover) has been unlocked, but I suspect it has. It has been rooted (I have a little black ninja guy giving Superuser Permission) and there is a folder-like icon named "root(and some Chinese letters)"

Well, as I said I have Kies running again. First it was running fine then it stopped connecting to the phone and now after unmounting the external SDcard I can again access the phone from my PC.

Through Kies I can do a firmware update. But should I?

Will it be re-locked?

Will it get all the Chinese stuff back?

Will it somehow be converted into a European phone?

Should I wait for the official Froyo or just go ahead and update?

I can update again when the Froyo finally arrive?

Do I need to make backup of any of my "system" files before doing anything?

Any help suggestions and/or warnings will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bandis710:
If you can do an upgrade through Kies it will aslo tell you what the update is (JG2 for example) since you have what I gues is a chine salescode, you will probably get a chinese update .. What you can do, is goint to the devlopers section and read the topic about spoofing your productcode in the registry so Kies thinks you have phone from another provider / country than that what you have now

I am almost certain that if you can enter an old danish firmware in the registry and a danish productcode you will get offeren a new new danish firmware through kies ..This will not relock your phone ( if it was locked before) as far as I know only the froyo builds will do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlaxLax:
I have been reading some more on the forum and found that the phone is actually branded.

Model [Country of Origin](Branded Phone Carrier) = Code

I9000 [Germany](Vodafone) = GT-I9000HKDVD2

I have also checked out the 3-button combo which seems to be disabled on my phone. I'll get this fixed before doing anything.

So I want to update to the froyo release and will probably be uding the Kies hack to do this. I'll use the XEE code which I believe will give me the danish language as an option.

Do I need to make backup of some of the system files before doing this?

In some poste there is talk about backing up some system files before upgrading as there is some information which is needed to unlock the phone again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlaxLax:
Well. I am still investigation this issue.

Now I am looking into using odin and firmware from samfirmware . com. Probably to JPA or JPO? Then I have been reading about the DocRambone ROM and will probably try that.

However they suggest to "- Check Simlock and Network lock is OFF *#7465625#". When I do this I am promted with a "Rejected" message.

Can anybody please tell me what this means?

I do not want to start messing with it before I know that the phone will not be locked after flashing to new firmware?

If it will be locked then what is the procedure of unlocking anagin. I have already made backup of the "nv_data.bin.md5" and the "nv_data.bin". Having these files is the same as having backup of the /efs? Reason for asking is that I cannot find /efs on the root of my phone.

Please help!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
Hy guys,

for the last week or so I've noticed my battery drains a little faster, now to be honest - I'm kind of a pedantic freak when it comes to my hd2 (like everything else in my life..)

anyway.. off course i went trough every little change\installation that was made prior to this issue, those were the only changes:

*installed NFS shift - deleted it after playing it once since it drained 10% of my battery while playing for 3 minutes, so i still have a feeling that it had something to do with the battery issue.

*installed sims3 3d

*installed spore creatures

i cant think of any other changes made that may have caused the battery to drain a little faster.

i have a feeling that NFS was the one who caused the issue because the battery started draining faster right after i installed it and deleted it, could it have made changes to the proccesor's\mem\registry's internal settings perhaps?

the changes i'm feeling is that the battery will drain 10%-20% faster than before, if i had it on 90% from 8am to 1pm, now it will be on 80%\75%.

appreciate your help guys :)

If you like CM6, I'd suggest going with CM6 stable and trying a couple different kernels. Start with Snap8.2 825mv or one of King's kernels. Try them without changes and then try them with setcpu. Also having your apps and widgets sync at the same time helps too.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moodecow:
Hi everyone,

i recently picked up a G2 on a US trip and am currently trying to set it up to work on the AU vodafone network.

i have gone through the sim "unlock" process, so it should be free to accept any sim card. (it also doesnt prompt me for an unlock code anymore, so im assuming it worked)

when i put the vodafone sim card in the phone, it detects the sim (there is the sim folder in the menu, with the vodafone sim options) and when i use "*#*#4636#*#* i see that there is something in the signal strength (-97dBm 8 asu).

BUT

when i goto settings ->wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> network operators i get an error saying "error while searching for networks"

I'm not sure if this is a real long-shot but I had some strange problems with my old Vodafone sim in a HTC Magic. I ended up just going into a Vodafone store and asking for a new SIM and the problems vanished immediately. They give you a new SIM on the spot free so it may be worth a try?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewklau:
Is your phone working unlocked with the tmobile sim? If it isn't you're got the problem a lot of people have been having with unlocking the G2.

Otherwise, try rebooting your phone with your AU sim search for networks automatically and enter your APN settings. Alternatively if it doesnt find networks, go to Vodafone to get a new sim card. I'm also on Vodafone and I'm not having any problems with my current Tmobile Phone (Cliq) and G2 coming in the mail :)

Fixed by rooting and gfree

Hi! I had this exact same problem: unlocked a T-mobile G2 bought in the US so that I could use it on Greece's Vodaphone network. After unlocking and trying to check for networks, it would just say "Error while searching for networks".

Solution: I found the solution here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Subsidy_Unlock.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF which describes an extra security measure that was taken on these phones and why you get this error because of it. The fix, described in detail on that page, involves routing your phone and then running a program to change this security "feature".

I followed the directions on that wiki page and it worked perfectly! It now connects to my vodaphone network here, and can see other networks that are around.

Note that as this is altering the software on your phone, it probably voids any warranty. But, I'll say with my US t-mobile G2 it worked very smoothly.

Hope this gives some insight to any others having this problem!
