[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
The biggest decision you have to make is how much do you value a physical keyboard? If it's a big deal for you, then go for the Touch Pro2. If you don't care about a keyboard, then the HD2 is a far superior choice in terms of hardware as well as software development. HTC's website lists the specs of both machines. Keep in mind that the T-Mobile version of the HD2 has 1GB of internal storage as opposed to half of that on any other version of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] erwinpiero:
my own opinion, go for TP2, it's qwerty hardware keyboard are valuable things to have, just like Your Hermes, it make different easy way related for daily working usage
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dx3me:
Thanks for all the replies. My problem with HD2 is there is no secondary camera for video call. Then if I choose TP2, how bad is the speed, is it acceptable if compare to Hermes (Hermes is quite slow to me)?. Or is it just about the same?.

Well.... I think I have to choose TP2 for the secondary camera. If HD2 come with secondary camera that would be a dream. I have also look at other WinMo device such as Omnia Pro with the slide keyboard, secondary camera and 800MHz but not so good UI, and I like HTC more.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
If you are in the US, the second camera makes no difference as it will not work for video calling here. Video calls on the TP2 only work in Europe.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Final5k:
Ok dx3me, here's my personal opinion. I had previously purchased the Touch Pro2 because of its keyboard form factor as well as the front camera. I came from the Xda Exec/Htc Universal phone and this greatly influence my choise for the Tp2.

-->First complain edited since the TP2 can play smooth videos provided you know how to convert it with this tool--->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112

Second complain is that the internet experience is not that great and after using a hd2, I really prefer its bigger screen as it delivers a new approach on how you can easily browse, email, chats and so on. Very stylish in the hands and its look is simply amazing - it will surely not go unnoticed by people around you due to its huge screen + "slim" size.

Third and last one is that some softwares are so damn slow to run on it and the lack of extra RAM suffers greatly.

So I am definitely planning to switch to a HTC HD2 in the coming weeks as compared to the TP2, the HD2 has specifications of a new generation phone where as the tp2 is very very far behind. Now that many phones are coming out equipped with a 1ghz proccessor, I bet that most people will follow the trend and get similar powerful phones unless keyboard is an absolute must or money is a key factor...My opinions only...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rr5678:
Okay, you want an opinion? I'm a person with both a Touch Pro 2 and a HD2.

Well first, I loved my TP2. I thought it was the best phone I've ever had. Loved the physical keyboard, it seemed to be running fast, and it can run Android on it, although not quite so well. The resistive touchscreen was very accurate, even though it could sometimes be one big pain in the arse. That's when the stylus came in.Pop it out, use it, pop it back in, simple. But then after a while, the darn thing felt so slow. Pages took a long time to load, no Flash support in browsers, my battery drained fast. One day I went to the T-Mobile store in my area. What do I see sitting in front of me? A live working HD2, hooked up to their security system. So I try it. So fast, I have to have it. So I h'whipped (:p) out $500 bucks from my pocket a few months later, and I had my HD2. It can run Android 2.2. It can run Flash videos perfectly. Hell, even Windows Mobile was fast. Then I thought, oh shucks, the keyboard. I flipped the phone into Landscape mode and that friggin keyboard is amazing. Now I have big hands - my fingertips are about as big as the keys on my keyboard. This keyboard won't make you miss your Touch Pro 2. Since then, my Touch Pro 2 has sat in a corner, neglected. I feel sorry for it from time to time and use it (:p), but then I go straight back to the HD2.

One disadvantage of the HD2 is the BATTERY LIFE. Heavy use - 4 hours (constantly on)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
HD2...I really like the hard keyboard on my TP2, but it just doesn't have enough Ram, My older Samsung Epix ran better, the TP2 just sucks away ram, I end up soft resetting a couple times a day, just from text messaging or checking my calendar or weather, it's a pretty big disappointment in that area. Just think, the HD2 will have a processor about twice the speed of the TP2 and twice the ram, plus half a Gig to 1 Gig of internal storage, for pesky programs that won't go on the storage card. If you want specs just check out: http://www.htc.com/us/products/compare/104-65-61?view=1-3&sort=0
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dx3me:
I think I know which one to get!!

Thank you everyone for the inputs.

Well, I'm changing my mind. I have tested a demo HD2 in the shop and like it. I think I have to get the HD2. I also can't consider any of the WP7 devices at the moment because I think I would not buy the WP7 devices until it become better devices. That could be a year or two. Well if I could not live without the video call (on HD2), I have to fix my Hermes a bit as a backup. So I can use the video call on my good old Hermes. Hopefully this could work. (The only bad thing is I have to carry my Hermes along if I intend to do a video call:p)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] htccol:
Hi Mate,

I Have both the Touch Pro 2 and HD2 and I would only recommend the HD2!! My personal opion is that I would not waste your money on the touch pro 2.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Final5k:
Hmmm, I've been using the HD2 for 1week now and my previous excitement has a bit vanished for this phone. I used the phone a lot for business purposes (especially using emails and chat a lot) and the lack of a keyboard suffers GREATLY. Though the HD2 screen is large for typing, I ended up in making mistakes couple of times when typing fast and I was really frustrated having to constantly correct my mistakes. This is time consuming especially when I have a lot of emails to respond on the way, and often gets my nerves to the limit.

The touch screen though is very responsive but I feel that the TP2 resistive screen has a bit more precision. Speed wise, the HD2 blows the TP2 and it is definitely great to watch your pictures/movies on the large screen. Apart from the mutimedia use, I am going to stick back to my TP2 and return the HD2. Nothing feels better than a physical qwerty keyboard and...a resistive screen for selecting a specific word easily when typing (...my opinions only).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] abprie:
Hi there,

I'm hoping to help you with my story: Using my father's old WM device (MDA Compact III) for about one year, in the beginning of this year I decided to go for something new. My most important requirement for the new device was a QWERTZ-keyboard (here in Germany). So, there wasn't much of a choice I had and after scanning through some device's reviews looking also at those without a QWERTZ to get to know the current standards (among them the HD2, "old" TouchPro, G1, BlackBerry 9700, Xperia X1 and some of the Samsung and LG devices) I bought the TouchPro2 as it seemed to me the best choice concerning specifications and my demands. And I was really happy about it! It was way faster than my former MDA, had much better graphics, loads of software to use and so on...

When time passed by, I started to pick up on some custom roms, as I wasn't satisfied with the speed (everyone know about the upgrading his personal requirements). Found the roms of NRGZ28 very good, stable and fast.

However, I was constantly getting more and more fed up with WM6(.5) and the phone as there are some constant (to me unknown) freezes and hangs. And as WM7 will not be seen on this device I decided to go for another change: I ordered the Desire Z, which is (finally) on its way, maybe arriving today.

My advice for you: take a look at Android or WM7. And try around with those keyboards and decide, if you *really* need a physical one. There is a whole bunch of good devices, that will be released with WM7 and Android.

Cheers!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
OP got the HD2. There is no longer any reason to try to convince him of anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] abprie:
ah, too late... well then, have fun with the hd2 :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Final5k:
Hmmm I would be curious to hear your opinions on both phones - may you share?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Panda_Face:
I'd vote for the HD2 because of it's specifications. Like it was said earlier the HD2 blows the TP2 out of the water. But also pointed out is the problem with WinMo 6.5. This stock ROM is a dinosaur in age and just doesn't hold a candle up to Android or WM7. I also was fed up with it on my HD2 so I made a complete change and switched my device over the Android via custom ROMs found on these forums. I've never been happier!

So the debate really is between Android and WM7. Considering the future I think getting android would be a better deal. It's going to explode in popularity due to Microsoft's and Apple's security lockdowns on their devices (they aren't very customizable, WM7 and the iPhone etc), and because of Android being open source.

So before I get going on a tangent :rolleyes:, I'd recommend getting the HD2 if you like customizing your phone A LOT. It can be kind of a scary procedure. But if you're not up to that kind of stuff I'd recommend looking at HTC's Android phones. They're very stable and fun to use. The TP2 will become a very average phone in the next while with all the new and cool stuff coming out.
[HD2 General] EngineerMind:
The "Mute Ring" soft button on the incoming call screen was not working on my HD2.

It turned out to be that I was using PocketShield and had the "Block Hardware keys" enabled on the "Incoming Call" section of the "Phone" tab. Disabling this feature allowed the "Mute Ring" button to work.

Just though to mention this if anyone else is having this problem and are also using PocketShield.
[HD2 General] pckshd:
It is because the Mute command on the HTC dialer is tied to a hardkey press event (volume key, it shouldn't but it is). So if you tell PS to block volume keys on incoming call those events will be blocked, the HTC Mute button will not make any effect.
[HD2 General] EngineerMind:
So there is no way to block the "Send" button from answering a call AND allow the "Mute" button to work?
[HD2 General] pckshd:
Sure, at PocketShield Settings > Phone > Block hardware keys > +

any update?
[Streak 5 General] tosh1:
Hey guys just wanted to get everyone's feedback on the streak. After having it for a full week now it seems like the home screens are laggy now. Jumping from apps to apps can be slow too. Can I wxpect 2.1 or the updated 2.2 to be this laggy again?

Is the flashed 2.2 laggy at all? I dont want to flash a rom yet since rumor it might come by the 15th. I hope and pray.. I dont have too many apps but this lag is killing me softly. Had iphone 4 before and obviously that will always be a smooth UI then had my captivate with flashed rom on 2.2 and that was pretty responsive...

Anything else I can do on 1.6 to help?
[Streak 5 General] kasperke:
I run an app called system panel.. And I run it when my 1.6 gets laggy. You can controle the working processes with it and stop the ones who take up to much memory or processing power.

Sent from my second wife.
[Streak 5 General] Azamatka:
My friend had the same strange issue and I believe it was caused by some app he downloaded. All we did to fix this was just reflash to 1.1.1 (now it would be also wise to flash to widely known Dj Steve's 1.2) It's easy and your Streak will work WAY faster.
[Streak 5 General] THJahar:
personally, the 1.6 is a smidgeon laggy, but the 2.x versions are not.

i'd just be patient for 3-4 weeks and wait till the official 2.2 comes out.

Flashing to a XDA-ROM is tricky and troublesome and usually recommended to hardcore gizmo fiddlers.
[Streak 5 General] CyberGhos:
I can't speak for everybody, but for all those I know owning a Dell Streak have the same problem as you do. We all hope the official Froyo will fix the problem, but it kind of late. I am about 6 months away from my upgrade date. This will be my last Dell. Hope some other will make phone with this size of screen.
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
When mine gets that way I power it off and back on. This is because I don't know where to find a "reset" app like I had with my Windoze mobile phone. Does one exist for Android 1.6?
[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
I currently use an app called "Fast Reboot" off the market, and it literally just shuts most of the running processes down and boots everything up again. It takes a couple of seconds but it's a hell of a lot quicker than actually rebooting the phone, only for it to take 5-10 mins to start up again. I've not had any major problems using this app but it does have an affect on some widgets like the Battery Smart (android) widget which freezes and no longer shows you how much battery you've got left, but removing and adding it again works fine. Though every so often, I still like to do a proper reboot just in case.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryvand:
I used ODIN to go back to stock but directories that were created before by various apps are all still there. My question is:

I want for my phone to go back to exactly the way it was when I first got it. I have the ODIN pit and tar files for stock eclair. But is there an option in ODIN to select to make sure that everything is wiped before installing stock??? I see all these directories (like sipdroid and some music directories that were created by winamp, and I'm sure others as well) even after I ODIN back to stock so clearly ODIN does not wipe the memory before installing the tar file. Is there a way to make sure the memory gets wiped before installing the stock tar file???

Thanks in advance guys.

Hey guys, trying to return my HTC Hero 2.1 stock

anyone have instructions to how to remove amon-ra?

i tried to install via RUU exe file but it doesn't detect my phone and asks if its turned on.

so far i have managed to get a packed.zip file with stock 1.5 flashed but when it goes OTA for updates, it reboots to amon-ra instead of doing the update through the HTC loader. hence why i want it removed.

any help will be appreciated

thank you

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I would try three button combo because that is important. There are fixes out there. As far as lagfixs there are allot of variables. Some are very simple to apply like oclf on the market but some say ext 2 which this uses is dangerous. Others require you to swap kernals. I am using voodoo through cognition 2.41. If you like your rom you should read the thread you got it from and see what others have used.

Can any Dev create an app that would store an index of themes that you can preview screenshots of the themes available and download directly to your device? Also maybe provide a feature that notifies you when and if your theme is updated.

[Epic 4G General] retrokick:
Hi everyone,

I searched the forum and didn't find any posts about problems with PC --> Epic bluetooth transfers, so I'm starting a new thread.

For the life of me, I can't send a file from my computer to my Epic. The devices can find each other and pair, but my phone always says "Paired but not connected" and my computer says "Connected". I saw somewhere that it may only say connected during an actual transfer... but when I right click a file and go through the Send To Bluetooth Device process, it can't connect. Windows gives me an error every time saying that it timed out because the device didn't respond. I'm staring at my phone the entire time and it doesn't even receive the request. I've tried going into bluetooth settings and tapping the computer, but that doesn't connect it. I've unpaired, repaired, rebooted, etc.

I connected my bluetooth headphones just to make sure the bluetooth is working properly... and I'm sitting here listening to music wirelessly as I type this. So the bluetooth DOES work.

Here's some other info in case it's relevant. PC is running Windows XP Pro. USB bluetooth dongle. The Epic is running Epic Experience ROM 1.2.05.

Ideas, anyone? This is driving me insane because it should be so simple... but it's not! :mad:

For example, what music player is included? Vanilla or touch wiz? What are the 5 radio buttons they used in the notification pull down? Can you still adjust the brightness by sliding your fiber across the notification bar at the top, do we have a video player app, etc.

NO US Carrier, and I can't think of ANY carrier at all, will include the tethering for free. I'm pretty sure Google just added it as a feature so it was easier for the carriers to implement their own (paid) solution.
