[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gprash:
They look pretty much the same to me ..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] souljaboy:
yep id put my money that its the same screen from the same manufacturing line(maybe the cabelling is different to the circuitboard but thats it)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
the only difference you will see is the "banding" on the HD2 due the lack of true colors.

try for example this wallpaper

on your HD2. it will look VERY bad. now put it in your DHD. and you will see the difference.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
however if you get a wallpaper in it's natural size (960*800 for a scrollable wallpaper or 480*800 for a static one) it won't band and will look perfect. Know how to use your device and you won't see the banding at all, no matter what image you use.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
Ermm.. NOT! TRY FLIKIE HD!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
you are funny. go to flikie HD because i have it. and the same wallpaper is available there too.

go set it as wallpaper on ur HD2, let me know how it will look ;)

dude. give me the same wallpaper on any size you want, that wont show banding on the HD2. . i will wait :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
There is a reason that picture bands, and it's because the quality of it is rubbish. Whoever made it it it's current form above didn't give it high enough quality when saving it. There's artefacts in it which are visible in a zoomed in version (you can easily see them in photoshop @ 200% zoom) and the Hd2 screen just accentuates those. That is the FIRST picture (and I have dozens of wallpapers on my HD2 with gradients, both radial and uniform) I've ever seen that bands.

However I stick to my original point, a picture made in the correct way will not band on the HD2, no matter what it's content.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
regardless of how bad the picture quality is, when you put it as wallpaper on DHD or galaxy S, it will be fine. but not on HD2.

is there a way around them ? sure why not. i am not goint to argue there.

the point of this thread is to show how close HD2 and DHD screens are. and talk about hardware limitations if any

and the HD2 lacks in this area due to less colors.

the HD2 has bad screen ? no. hardly. but its not the same as DHD like the OP or others wants to believe. its less. whatever you like this fact or not.

is there away around the banding pictures ? i would like to believe there is " i am not very expert to be honest. but i am sure some people can come up with the same screen with no banding on HD2.. who knows "
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
i know there is a color differencebetween the hd2 and DHd screen , but my point was that in real life it is not noticable , the videos compared allotof pictures with different colors and i haven't noticed any differences , my sony ericsson satio looks allotbetter tan the desire hd in colors , that is why i think that the DHD screen is not really 16m colors or it is a bad quality one by the way the 65k in hd2 limitation is a software limitation (kernel limitation ),

another thing this picture bands on my 32 bit samsung desktop screen (not so much but it bands )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
1- the HD2 is 256k Colors. not 56k

2- i hardly think its karnel limitation. otherwise it would have been unlocked time ago with all those android roms and karnels.

you cant really judge 2 phones from a youtube video. sure they look the same here. but when you hold them face to face. it might not be the case.

its nice to see a 2 years old device like HD2 hold its own against a phone that is barely released. this is to show how HTC shuffle some crap and sell it to us as wow super amazing etc.

but it doesnt mean they are the same screen ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
on android we still shows 65k colors, hd2 is only a one year old phone ,i holded the Dhd and the hd2 yes there is a difference (not huge ) like the difference btween my se satio with lower resolution and hd2 ,satio screen looks alot better and more colors than both hd2 and desire hd ,that makes us conclude that htc is a big joke and like what you said cheating on us
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kaitosan:
Erm... Is it possible to change the tone of colors on the HD2 digitally with some software, like setting "digital vibrance" in the PCs videocard drivers?

The first time i thought about this when i put my Xperia X1 next to my HD2 and the Xperia's screen was much much more colorful (under wm 6.5.3). Strange, because i think the X1 also has a 65K or maybe 256K (doesn't matter) color panel and win mobile can use 65K on both devices...hmmm:eek::confused: So there maybe a way to improve the colors on the HD2, by a software of course.

Is there a thing like this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sp33dy_gtx:
Ok so I must stay all day wathing big photos so my friend dosen't have DHD i have and it has not so...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
actually good. I don't see the fuzz in it?

Maybe you are using a build that sucks? I don't see a difference, even not on my laptop (NO I'm not color blind) :)

Still "banding" on my desktop SyncMaster 2233BW (32Bit mode) . I think its about quality of picture.

*65k quite enough for me (or my eyes are unhealthy :D )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dulexetina:
its not so much better display on desire hd... i expected much more,but the only visible diference is that colours are much more vivid on desire hd (but its a damn good phone) :D nice videos
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brandi:
On my HD2 running android (at least) it does look as seen on your computer! I still don't believe the 65k display... I think it is just a winmo regulation, and that is why they put it in specs, because it was never ment to run android!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] white-energy:
Oh, damn god! Thank you!

The wallpaper looks the same as on my computer.. i tried it on other computers (maybe my screen is faulty) but it seems to be the same! even while zooming, but while scrolling down the page.. the picture seems to be color changing, banding (Transformers :P).. as a wallpaper its awesome too..

Maybe some HD2 panels are color limited.. who knows..

I got my phone in January-2010.

hey! what about a small application which makes tests and counts how much kilos/millions of colors do we have in our screens.. sounds like a good idea, huh? :D

EDIT: Btw.. while using android-vnc... there is "Color Mode" option, after setting it to 24-bit color (4 bpp)... the quality was uncomparable with my laptops screen (ubuntu)..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ceo4eva:
As a former iPhone user I'm not too thrilled of the hd2 screen as objects other than fingers can operate the screen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shuntje:
Yeah because that's what we are discussing here. The specs say 65k it most likely will be 65k its no biggy and end of discussion. Why is it so important to think our phone is just as bling bling as a newly released model ?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepp1927:
I have received the Tmobile ota update twice and both times my phones stays on vibrant screen and nothing else. The first time i kept my phone rooted and did the download and the progress bar goes to 100% and the phone reboots and gets stuck on the Vibrant screen and i left it like that for 20 mins. I flashed the stock rom again then a week later i got the ota again. I unrooted this time did the download and the same thing happened again. Has anyone had the same issue or know if i am doing anything wrong?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
Why don't you just manually update to the latest update and save yourself the trouble of ota updates
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
sure they would. no ota will be 100% successful. with such a popular device even a small percentage of failures is still thousands of bricks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe.kerwin:
Right, but we're not evaluating Samsung's overall success. We're on a XDA thread where the majority of people have modded their phone out of warranty. I know 6 people personally with vibrants, i'm the only one who takes the initiative to mod my phone and my 6 friends all installed the OTA just fine, and these people don't know anything about android other than it's "super cool" and they upgraded just fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] placidic:
I had the same problem with the OTA update from tmobile on 2 sgs I have. Just flashed the JI6 update they attempted to install using odin and was good to go.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightykc:
Do you already have a file named "update.zip" on your internal storage? That could be the problem. if you do rename it, and then when you get the OTA again it should work. Also I heard customer recovery can cause issues.

i had a TP2 and all my contacts numbers are backed up in microsoft outlook.What is the best way to get them from there to my new phone ?
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I did this:

Worked pretty well.
[Desire HD General] zurek:
My contacts are stored in Windows Contact Book(My Documents>Users>MYUSERNAME>Contacts) HTC Sync provided with DHD wouldn't copy them to my phone, so I just installed HTC Sync 2.xx from Legend/Hero and it worked.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
It's a good point actually.

If you have your contacts in outlook, then when you install HTC Sync from the phone it will copy all your contact details to the phone automatically.

I learnt that the hard way by syncing with my work computer and having nearly 5000 contacts copied to my phone. I had to yank the power quickly and hard reset before it tried to sync it all to gmail!
[Desire HD General] mancuk29:
Yep here to
[Desire HD General] SiliconS:
OK, I'm a newb to Android so I'm not sure I understand what you're discussing here.

Should I install HTC Sync 3.0 from the HTC website or is there a better way to get it working? The Desire HD isn't (yet?) shown in the list of compatible handsets on the HTC website for that version.
[Desire HD General] Dutchrevenge:
On the included SD-cart there is the program HTC Sync 3.0. You can copy the file to your computer and install it there. Works fine and you can synchronise all the contacts in outlook.
[Desire HD General] SiliconS:
Thank you. :)

I've imported my contacts already via Google so that bit is OK. Has anybody had success importing the calendar entries onto the Desire HD?

Edit: OK, I had a go and yes: it's synchronised the calendar entries. But only back a month. Is there a way to extend the range so that the whole calendar is synchronised?

Edit 2: I tried something else. I don't think HTC Sync will do what I want. I'm moving from Windows Mobile/Outlook to Google/Android so I figured I really only need a one-time synchronisation. I found that Google has their own sync tool:

http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563

It's not compatible with the version of Outlook I'm using (2002) so I found other software called CompanionLink:

http://www.companionlink.com/android/outlook/

They offer a free 14-day trial of their sync software with which I'm uploading my entire Outlook calendar to Google and it's syncing with my phone in front of me. That's all I needed - I don't think I want to sync my Outlook calendar in the future since I won't be using Windows Mobile again. Time will tell if I'm right. :)

so my streak wont boot past a black screen after i tried to downgrade to 2.1. The upgrade seemed like it went good but then when i rebooted it a black screen came up and it stays for a good 30 mins. I have tried flashing the alt recovery and stock recovery but it will still go to the black screen when i get to the dell recovery and press update from package.. If i could just flash another rom i would be ok(i think) but i literally cant do anything on it except go to fastboot mode. Please help because i cant find my specific problem anywhere.

EVO 4G got it (check powermat.com)

why not our beloved desire :p

i searched wireless charging battery covers or cases but i found nothing...

so i had this idea...if i can't buy one, why not make one...

I was thinking something like that:

buy a case/battery cover with wireless charging technology

buy a case/bigger battery cover for desire

detach wireless receiver from the first case/cover

apply receiver to desire case/cover

but I'm a student and i cant afford to waste money so i don't want to buy 100$ worth of gear just to find it incompatible...

so if anyone has any experience please share...any input will be appreciated.

also...if anyone has a charging case for any phone... I'd appreciate a thorough description(size of different pieces)
[Desire Accessories] SMF_12:
Get a desire case from ebay for £1.50 and a iphone charger case from mymemory i think for £20 and give it a go mate. i would love to have one too!!!
[Desire Accessories] UpSpin:
it won't be incompatible.

The powermat receiver consists of a large coil (the huge flat thing in the cover), a small circuit board and a mini usb connector. So all it does is to transform and send the received energy to the 5V USB connector. This will be compatible with almost every smartphone.

Much more difficult is it to put the coil, circuit and connector in the Desire back cover. It's only possible if you buy a bigger battery cover, and then, with a some skill and time you should be able get it working.

But is all this a thicker Desire and an annoying USB connector sticking out of the rear of the Desire worth the trouble? I don't think so.

Also note, that it won't charge as fast as it does with the AC Adapter. So better get a nice looking docking station.

Was having the same issues. I found that using universal androot doesn't install the superuser.apk like it says it will. I, instead used the x10root.apk and it did. I kept the universalandroot for whenever I decide to unroot for warranty purposes. You can find it here:

dont say games like angry birds, it will be great but its no different then the small screen

Had some people call me claiming from Sprint technical dept about a month ago.

They asked me to repeat the code that I had just been texted so they could confirm data coverage in my area....

That code, was the pin reset sent by automatic "forgot my pin" link on the website.

I led them on for a bit telling them I hadn't received anything. Eventually they hung up.

They had spoofed the sprint customer care 800 number so when I called back I got the automatic attendant. I eventually got connected to the fraud department and talked with someone there. We joked around after confirming my account was safe. He said that this has been ongoing and there is a large group of people making these calls to unsuspecting sprint customers.

TLDR, don't ever give out codes/pins to unsolicited calls :)
