[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Danation:
Um... exactly why are people talking about the Desire HD? Did the OP ask about it? Nope.

Between the Desire and the HD2, definitely the HD2. Nice big screen, nice and thin, and fast. The Android roms are awesome. Anybody who tells you they aren't stable needs to change builds.

Not to mention the fact that people are working on porting MeeGo and WP7.

Anyway, that's my opinion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Krazy_Calvin:
WP7 is more like Zune 202 for microsoft. They are going to learn their lesson the hard way...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] targett:
Between Desire & HD2 - HD2 wins hands down...

Between HD2 & Desire HD - Desire HD wins.

Using quadrant standard my HD2 scores 1515, but the wife's Desire HD scores 1862.

The screen is so much more crisp too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTCore:
Android use only go for Desire ONLY but...

If you are a type of geek guy who loves to play with multiple OS like WinMO 6.5.x, Android, Ubuntu and soon WM7 and MeeGo go for HD2!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vartp:
It depends on android build, I had about 900 on HD2 with darkstone froyo and 1800-1900 with desire hd based builds.

Desire vs HD2 imho HD2 wins, you'll get more stable android on desire, but HD2 4.3" screen is so much better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vomar:
I own both devices.

Desire:

good display (if you get the amoled version)

good battery

HD2

bigger display

you can choose various OS (winmo6.5, various android)

in future maybe android on nand, winmo7, maemo
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jae-v:
maemo's being worked on? thought it was only meego

Android is almost stable to use. Desire has some bug like touch screen. I think it is better to use 95%android with 4.3inch than 100%android with buged Desire. And I want to believe cotulla will be succeed in porting both WP7 and Nand.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nimac91:
Well, the first thing I don't understand is why you ask wich one is better in the HD2 section. The most people would say HD2 is better. But let me tell you one simple fact and I just know everyone has to agree with me... The HD2 has a lot and really a lot of bugs... You can't change a lot of options(in WM)... It works way too slow for a 1 ghz with 576 Ram divice. Besides, who needs windows mobile 6.5 if android can do a lot more and better.

I've got my HD2 for almost 2 years now, and from the 2nd week till now I wanted to have a new device wich did give you what it promised. I tell ya. Get the Desire if you want a good working device wich doesn't crash or uses a lot of battery when using Android on it. I've got trough so much trouble updating my costum roms and android and trying to figure out how to instal programs like propper navigation and stuff... And still I am always waiting for an new update to fix my issues with Android.

The good thing about the HD2 is only the big screen and the looks... Mine still looks just like new and is perfectly clean even after overusing it and letting it fall a million times in the past 2 years. But by buying an Desire HD wich is in my opinion the best phone(if you coun't out iPhone 4) There won't be any reason anymore for buying an HD2.

Probably a lot of people won't agree with me cause this is xda people like the tweaking part. But if you want a great phone wich doesn't anoy you everyday. You should not buy a HD2

Am I the only person in here that thinks that this thread belongs in the Android QandA or Android General? Not in the Android Dev? hmmm... wondering why mods havent moved it yet..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shadiku:
Quoted for truth, I'm going out my mind here. My internet just doesn't work at all..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bronx:
Hm... so I guess You are the only person in the world to have hd2 ONE YEAR AHEAD of world release date. Afair it was available to buy in second part of november 2009.

See... that made me treat the rest of Your post like BS.

Back on topic, the looks of device and screen size are the only major factors when comparing those two devices. Android on hd2 is almost perfect and still under developement, so things are beeing improved even few times a day. I use it as my main system for last few weeks and to my surprise hd2 is far more stable and predictable than it ever was under wm management.

That made me keep it and waiting for next gen of devices, as I don't see desire hd nor d. Z as a significant upgrade to hd2 running desire froyo, well... not for me at least.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phaverkamp:
Thanks guys for all this information/opinions! I think it will be a Desire because of the stability and the multi-touch experience! I also found out the screen of the desire is much brighter! any experience with the battery drain on a desire vs HD2? Any development in wp7 on a Desire?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bronx:
Well... multitouch is the same crap on desire as it is on hd2 unfortunately. Desire hd and z got improved touch panels.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
I woulnt go for the desire, many bugs.. Maybe htc will update them. I hear some ppl complain about flashing numerous times, then don't lol, you can try and find best roms. I prefer hd2 for tomtom and psx games with my ps3 controller, and android because android, with new kernels like hastarin, work way faster then real android devices. Gps is very fast and stable, and my internet wifi and data dont drop out, very very stable, but i have an eu hd2, maybe us version is different.

For battery, improved much, now I get 25,3 hrs, moderate usage.

I hope you wait for an android phone that packed with Terga2 processor :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matt07930:
Android on HD2 doesn't work perfectly, if you want Android get a Desire.....or better still a Desire HD :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] i1magic:
Frankly ... I have enough of "flashing" already.

Now in Singapore ... HTC Desire Z is out already ... but Desire HD is not.

Once Desire HD is out .... I'll get one for my daily usage ... and as for my HD2 ... it'll revert back to WM for using MapKing for GPS for my 2nd mobile phone line.

As for Terga 2 ... my best guess is by the time it will reach the stores will be probably Q4, 2011.

So the Desire HD will be the phone for me for the next 1yr.
[Desire HD General] paysen:
I can disable amazon.mp3 with adb shell but when i look at the menu it always shows the silly icon of amazon.mp3.

I cant start the app since I removed it but the icon is still there. I already enabled the app and then disabled it again... but its still here..

Can anyone help me to get rid of amazon.mp3 :mad:

I've attached a pic so you can see that I have su etc :)
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Same problem here. Every app I disabled disappeared from launcher except for Amazon MP3, and it's driving me nuts :D
[Desire HD General] fvs:
You could "freeze" the app with titanium backup, which removes the shortcut icon and makes sure the app cant start. Big advantage is that you can still install OTA's. It comes with a price tho..
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Freeze is the same thing as pm disable. And it doesn't work with Amazon MP3. It stays in the launcher and crashes when trying to launch it.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
AAAHH Im in the same boat too, there must be a way..
[Desire HD General] kuailan:
If you have permanent root, and Titanium Bakcup, you should be able to permanently removed the app. Just go the backup/restore tab at the top, go the app you want to remove (Amazon mp3) and hold it for a while...there should be an option for forced removed the app. The phone will then reboot itself, and once rebooted you will find it is completely gone. The only down side is you cant update OTA anymore. But really who cares? very soon we will see custom ROMs popping up everywhere. I am pretty sure they will contain the latest updates.
[Desire HD General] Donny1987:
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I found this on another forum:

com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity

Hope this works

[Streak 5 Accessories] tallpaulyall:
By now I would think most of you have seen the ingenious homemade snes mod video(if not check it out on youtube(snes dell streak) ).I was wondering if I used a female/female usb adapter,if I could use my standard usb joystick in its stead???

Thanks

Paul
[Streak 5 Accessories] BrokenPixel:
The Home dock supports USB input, you can plug a keyboard, mouse, not sure about joystick, but for SNES gaming I use the Wii mote with an attached classic controller, works wonders.

don't know if your theory about female/female adapter works, I'm guessing you're plugging it to your regular USB cable. I believe the cable is just for charging/syncing, you will need a usb Host which is in the home dock :s

Wii mote seems like an ideal option. But that is up to you.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
well i currently have a desire SLCD version and i really love it, however yest i got a pretty awesome offer which will allow me to jump to Desire HD free of charge :D

i tried the device myself for few minutes, i found it beautiful but having read some reviews i have some concerns

few reviews mentioned unlike the classic desire the Desire HD have problems playing back 720p videos even mp4 ones, this essential for me since i have my portfolio already encoded in 720p mp4 and runs perfect on my desire and don't want any stutter when i present it (Ad agency people will jump n say get an iphone you loser)

did anyone test the SD card speed with the desire HD? the classic froyo desire had a software issue with the SD card read ahead speed which was solved by patching the kernel, is this related to the video playback issue on the desire HD?

my second issue, reviews mentioned heavy digital processing in the camera produced photos, the desire had the same issue but i used to simply lower sharpness to -2 and the digital processing gets turned off (noise blur and then oversharpness) hence i was able to get beautiful almost analog like photos using the standard HTC camera app, do we have a similar negative sharpness setting in the desire HD camera and does it disable the image processing?

thanks for all the help
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
.mp4 files play very well even in 720p. It's the bitrate that might give you some trouble, but any reasonable setting (it's 4.3" after all) plays very smooth. Add the DLNA clent and you get an awesome player.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pulsorock:
Hi!

A friend of mine has this device and he wants to have Froyo installed, I believe he still has the factory installed version it came with the phone (I think is version 1.6 or 1.8).

I have a Samsung Captivate and upgraded very easily to Froyo using Odin and the Cognition ROM.

Can anyone point me to a thread that has an easy (beginner to intermediate) way to upgrade the MyTouch 3G to Froyo?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] housry23:
If it is an original MyTouch(without the 3.5mm jack) then the easiest way would be to wait for the OTA update from T-mobile. If your friend doesn't want to wait then check out this thread: Manually update MyTouch to stock Froyo
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Pomosapien:
What about updating an unlocked MT 3G? Will updating to Froyo relock the phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pulsorock:
Yes, is a original (untouched) myTouch 3G....

I read that it will come OTA, but he haven't seen anything yet on his phone.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hudgybear14:

[myTouch 4G General] LimitsX:
Hey guys!! :) I just joined recently!

Anyway, my question is the following:

I want to buy mytouch 4g, but I live in Canada. I found an online store called negri electronics! Now I haven't made purchases online beside ebay. They have this phone avaliable and I'd order it, but problem is i am uncertain.

Has anyone else bought a phone from them before? Is it really brand new and never used before (zero air time minutes). They have this phone unlocked at $535.50 and states it is brand new.

Is there any other online place I can order this phone from and get a better deal?!

I'd travel to states bufflo, but the t-mobile store is sold out completely!

Thanks guys!
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
I would say wait for it to be in stock at T-mobile. Retail on this phone is $450 and you will have a better chance of warranty in case anything happens. Unlock codes are super cheap nowadays, you can buy one for $5 if T-mobile won't give you one but I think they're have to unlock it for you if you buy it outright and as for it. You can also ask the store to hold one and call you as soon as they get it.

Other option would be to find someone on Craigslist close by and pick it up for $400 or less.

If you're really determined to pick one up from that store... just google it and see what people are saying about them. I've never heard of them, Wirefly OTH has MT4G for $539 (not including shipping or unlocking though) but they're trusted retailer.

And finally, if you're willing to pay that much money for a phone, why don't you just find Desire HD? Nicer phone IMHO (same hardware but bigger screen, better appearance and better camera.)

Good luck.
[myTouch 4G General] LimitsX:
Oh, htc desire HD is better? I am not sure lol. I liked this one cause in canada we have Windmobile, their phones are pretty much crap for aws band :P.

Thanks for your insightful comment! I really appreciate it! and I will take a look into Wirefly OTH as well!

I have to pay $500+ anyway even for t-mobile store because the amount of gas that goes in, ends up around that price. I don't really wanna travel to the states because it comes down to same price, just with a lot of headache and driving and all lol.

thanks though!
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
OTH was my abbreviation for "On The other Hand"... perhaps not the best one lol :) It's just WIREFLY.COM . I used them few times, they are not bad at all and really cheap with contract. They are still more without one. Do you have any relatives in states? That could be your golden egg right there ;)
[myTouch 4G General] LimitsX:
Nooo, I don't know anyone in the states.

So, I don't really have a choice now. I just wanna make sure that negri electronics is a reliable place to buy such an expensive phone! I hope it is brand new and really the genine product! thats my main concern, I don't really mind paying that price, but I don't really have a choice now do i? lol

thanks!
[myTouch 4G General] raeef:
About Desire HD, I don't think you can find one online for less than 650+. I've been looking for days and it's only available on ebay for around 700+ or on some UK websites that don't look that good like expansys.com and handtec.co.uk

for around 650.

[Wildfire General] steviecvr:
I'm only after installing CyanogenMod and I'm really happy with it but I have two problems.

1) The Android Market is currently not there? I tried to download an APK file, but how do I install it if I can't download an app to do that?

2) I did a backup with nandroid before I installed the ROM, if I restore the backup I made. Does this remove the ROM? I want all my apps back etc. Is there anyway I can make this so it doesn't remove the ROM but instead restores the essential things I backed up?

Thanks

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scorched03:
Howdy,

I am trying to use the remaining free space on my sd card, but I see there is a 1 gb limit in some instances?

If i stick several movies that surpass the 1 gb limit onto my card, android completely reinstalls onto the sd card and wipes the files.

However, if I take out the sd card that has the rom on it, and put in another sd card with music/movies, android stops working.

am i doing this wrong or is there a workaround? thanks for reading :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
Android is actually reading and writing to the SD card that you are using at the time you load it so taking out that card you actually remove Android. As for the 1 gig limit I am not sure what you mean. If you put the file on the root of your card ( granted you have the space left after android builds itself the first time) android shouldnt modify or alter your files

I work in an old building and getting cell service was spotty but I could always text and surf the web reguardless. Now Illl be on edge and have full bars but not be able to do anything. texts fail over and over. the internet hangs or tells me no network. Anyone else have this issue?

LP is probably the best launcher for 2.1

You can try adw launcher as well..

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Sonnyx:
i was using ADW launcher on 1.6, but now when 2.1 is on u use LP and i think LP is better, more stable and faster
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] VooDoo`:
actually I use adw, but I have also the very lightweight launcher zeam -installed.

the appdock and the swipe gestures makes adw the best for me. zeam also supports swipe gestures, but there I miss the additional appdock.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mariosraptor:
I just installed zeam. For such a lightweight if seems rather laggy though when moving from screen to screen. For the record stay away from DxTop launcher. It is a mess.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ionutph:
What about battery life ? Helix ( and I think zeam also) used to offer improved battery life on 1.6. Now that 2.1 is out is the same ? Has default launcher been improved ? About Adw I read that lowers the battery life.

I like the LP. I like to have my apps sorted in categories (audio, video, photo, office, internet, sistem, games, etc) and I make folders to sort them but my only complain is that I can not chose folder icons.
