[HD2 General] random_username_:
its practically the same phone with less buttons and more memory (an internal sd card probably as it has the same amount of nand).... looks like ill be keeping my hd2

edit: oh yeah and a kickstand.......cant forget the kickstand
[HD2 General] Dyrim:
Honestly think the original HD2 looks a lot better, though the build in kickstand is rather neat.
[HD2 General] reorx24:
I think the HD7 is one big bag of fail

I mean, a year later, the successor to one of the greatest and most popular winmo handsets of all time...gets a measly memory bump???

Same processor? Same Screen Size? I mean, its prety much an inevitability that WP7 will be ported to the HD2...whats the incentive to upgrade to the HD7??

Now at least the Desire HD got a processor bump, is definitely more futire proof than the HD7.

Maybe that HTC's way of telling MS that HTC is now primariliy an Android supporting company?:D

I mean, the HD7 may be the WP7 flagship for HTC, but no way is it THE overall HTC flagship. Thats the Desire HD.

In the meantime, with almost identical specs to the HD2, thanks for making the WP7 HD2 port easier on the devs, HTC ;)

A hands on review?

http://tech-reviews.net/?p=3734

Looks yummy~
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
its clear from the 720p video is normal LCD not SLCD
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
There's a part 1 as well. The links were floating around here last night. About 25 mins in total of playing around. Most of it is bog standard Android but there's a few nifty things here and there which are worth watching for. Just music by the way - no voice over or anything.
[Desire HD General] Ethania:
Are you sure?

Sounds like a guess, since most pages says its a SLCD.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Just a mix up as the Desire HD and Desire Z were announced at the same time.

Desire Hd = EVO LCD Screen

Desire Z = Desire S-LCD Screen

This is one occasion I hope I'm wrong but I dont think I am.

Why do you think that HTC have edited their video and text description after they realised their mistake.
[Desire HD General] LittleMerc:
I feel really pathetic for HTC, they had already created such perfect phone, and why do they want to ruin it by using a normal LCD than SLCD? They had rather use SLCD on Desire Z than HD... Sometimes I really wonder what is in their mind...
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Yeah i was pretty confident it was LCD, and after watching those videos, im almost 100% sure it's LCD.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
They would rather use S-LCD on the Desire Z because its the same screen as the Desire and they have plenty of them, a S-LCD 4.3 inch has never been made so they were lazy and used the 4.3 Evo screen, its all about fast turn over and making money, they are rushing the Desire HD out because of their new flagship with a 1.5ghz or more processor out for Christmas or after the new year..

But nobody knows 100% so we will have to wait and see.
[Desire HD General] Overloaded:
I don't know.. i saw something on the original htc site that it was slcd :confused:

but too bad it's normal lcd then.. The phone is great anyways :D
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Yes thats true but you wont find it on there now, its been removed.
[Desire HD General] Overloaded:
There is also a screen comparison video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bt8ScwAPZE&feature=sub

The screen of the Desire HD looks quite white to me, and the normal Desire has a pink color to it ..,

But we will see when we get it ;)

I expect mine arround 22 october.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I agree there, even with a normal LCD screen the phone is still great, lets just hope that the images and 720p are up to scratch and the loud speaker has been improved over the Desire. I can say that the video audio has improved..

I have heard that the pink spot is still on the images and the 720p is no where near that of the galaxy s...

Is there to may bad points to purchase this phone?

Again, time will tell.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I have seen this before but It didn't make me feel any more confident than before.
[Desire HD General] :
Looks sluggish

Ok, this is weird... In the video comparison we can clearly see the HD7 (or whatever is between the DHD and the Z) and the iphone scroll really smoothly, while the DHD lags a bit and the Z lags a LOT. What gives? I thought they were supposed to be super-fast? :(
[Desire HD General] jords12:
Android has flash on, others don't.
[Desire HD General] :
Fair enough, though a tiny flash would not justify the way the Z behaves. So are you saying that if the page had no flash then the HTC's would be as smooth as the other two?

i saw dozens of pictures and videos so far, even websites hands on comments confirmed it is normal LCD like the Evo but when HTC was asked they did confirm its 16.7million colors so that at least is a bump

either way i'm too addicted to the quality of SLCD on my desire now, i will wait for the next round
[Desire HD General] AndreasA88:
Its not the same screen as on the Evo, the evo only has 65k while Desire HD has 16 million colors.

Yes, all those flash banners make a huge difference.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Yes but during the London event, HTC press release states 262K display for the Desire HD, they keep changing it and keep giving out different info, nobody knows for sure.

[Desire HD General] mark wild:
Please don't be dumb... The Desire HD and Desire Z shows flash content... Didn't you noticed that the WP7 and iOS dosn't show everything???

DUDE!!! :mad:
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
i think it was a legitimate question.

Flash contributes to the lag, but like i said in another thread, GPU acceleration is what makes the HD7 so smooth. Wait until Google releases Froyo and maybe we'll see GPU acceleration on the DHD.
[Desire HD General] mark wild:
+1 and sorry... :)
[Desire HD General] :
I'm sure you mean Gingerbread?

GPU acceleration will fix OS interface sluggishness, but I have a hunch the flash player will still be using software acceleration, aka the CPU.

Apology accepted.
[Desire HD General] Spaky:
We will see something when full Opera browser hit Android next month, they claim for full hardware acceleration, hope this include also Flash. Finger crossed!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Yeah that's what i meant.
[Desire HD General] dhiral.v:
So I emailed HTC and they said it was S-LCD 16million colours.

Thank you for your e-mail

In regards to the screen specification for the Desire HD are as follows.

Type S-LCD capacitive touch screen, 16M colours Size 480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches - Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate

- Proximity sensor for auto turn-off

- Touch sensitive control panel

- HTC Sense UI

- Multi-touch input method

I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.
[Desire HD General] DeathJester:
That's all the info I needed to push me towards returning my Galaxy S and waiting for one of these!

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
That is great news, already sold my galaxy s now its just a matter of waiting for this baby to hit the stores..

Thanks for the info, that 5 people that have emailed now and have all come back with the same thing, looks like I was totally wrong, which is a good thing, Im a happy chappy now. !!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
im still not convinced. Only when i read a review from a site like Engadget stating it's S-LCD then i'll believe it
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Im with you on that one, the doubt is in the back of my mind, there is a post on another thread that has posted pictures of his new desire hd, un seen pictures of the box ect, if anyone knows the answer then its him...awaiting reply as we speak...
[Desire HD General] DarrenT:
The fact that they could say it and 99% of people wouldn't know if it was true or not is key here though. From the few videos and images I've seen the screen looks fine. This phone is going to sell well regardless of the screen since the only people getting caught up in acronyms are forum warriors and the like. For the vast majority of users whatever screen is on this phone will be fine.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I dont care about the many users I care about myself hahaha...so I need to know and I wont shut up until I know 100% what the hell the screen is :mad:

Well maybe that was a bit O.T.T

If the screen looks good does it matter whether its LCD, TFT, SLCD or whatever!? I think too many people are getting caught up in this.. I don't even think there's much difference between lcd-> slcd compared with lcd -> amoled
[Desire HD General] Overloaded:
There is a big difference between LCD and SLCD ;)

Here a comparison vid

And SLCD seems to be sharper than AMOLED and has more natural colors
[Desire HD General] maruchan78:
Interesting video. I don't think it shows SLCD to be much different to the LCD tho - AMOLED looks the brightest and seemed to be better in direct sunlight than the other two.
[Desire HD General] xmoo:
Pink is AMOLED

White is LCD/SLCD

why would htc launch a 262k color display at this point? and the evo has 65k colors? wtf ? why? :confused:

Make sure you're connected to your wifi as the update will be 150mb or so.

Alternatively, you can download Sony Ericsson update Service SEUS and update it that way.

If there is no update available on your carrier then you should probably try debranding - although I'm not sure if it voids the warranty of the phone in your country.

Debranding is basically giving you a generic device rather than for example being on Orange, in which they have put apps on that they want, ( in my case it was traffic tv).

Here is what the x10a from AT&T shows (see attached photo). They like to be different. lol I've figured out how to sideload apps, but I'm going to wait for the official firmware before using seus. I installed it last night and it messed up my drivers for the phone and I couldn't use screencast or the sideload app since my phone wasn't being detected. SEUS installs it's own drivers and I couldn't get them to go back to what i had before so I ended up having to do a system restore to undo what it did.

Sorry for the newbie question, but I had a procedural question. I just updated to JI6 through Kiese Mini and then used Ryanza's OCLF update through the market. I noticed there are some other mods that I might want to use (none of the other ROM's out really interest me enough to get rid of stock right now), but I'm not sure how to get them on the phone. I downloaded busybox, but found some language in there that made me a little unsettled, and I downloaded metamorph, but I felt like there might be some kind of cinflict between versions. I want to get a new battery icon and maybe the transparent notification bar, but I think I need a little help. I feel more confident in modding phones, but I am not familiar with a lot of the terms you guys use sometimes, just makes me feel uneasy. I know I shouldn't be modding the phone if I'm not experienced enough. Baby steps though......

Is there a rom, that has Bluetooth HID built in? I see only Cyanogen roms have this feature. Are there any others? Also why is it that other don’t have this option in their roms? Is this something on Cyan team has ever figured out? I'm not fluent in Linux, so I’m just asking..

Also can anyone figure out how to get our Epic 4g devices to see ad hoc connections? I want to connect my Epic to my Ipad running MyWi
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Curious why you need HID when you have a keyboard. Just want a bigger keyboard? And then really is it that usable on a small screen?...just curious.

THere are a few apps in the market place that appear to offer HID support to an extent. Cyanogens ROM works with HID because they wrote an entire BT Stack just for his rom - all of their stuff is compiled from their own source tree. Most of the roms you see here are bits an pieces pulled from several places, and a lot of it is not even necessarily compiled by the devs here.

And Ad-Hoc so far has been a no go - Not sure why you would us mywi or what it is - its used on a mac so its instantly out of my realm. There just doesn't seem to be alot of interest in connecting to an adhoc from an internet enabled phone....its usually the other way around.

If your home screen and start menu look the same as in windows mobile then you're not running Android. Fair enough, it's a Sense build, so there's not a massive difference between Sense on winmo and Android, but the start menu is totally different.
