[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suhas_sm:
Hi guys,

I might buy a HD2 and I want to do everything that a current DHD or DesireZ can do. So keeping this in mind what are things that I shouldnt expect from HD2 ?

Does it delivers every thing that a nexus one /desire/DZ/DHD deliver ?

I wanted to buy DHD... But its not available in US. Its quite expensive also. And no other options for 4.3 Inch screen :(

Thanks, Help me decide whether or not to buy this phone as an altenative for desire Z/Desire HD :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
I don't quite understand what you're asking. You're asking for help with a decision, but from what I'm reading, there is only one option?

To answer your more obvious question, I believe development for DHD/DHZ has stagnated, and the only thing it's missing is the camera. Not sure when/if devs will finish that. The Evo, desire, and nexus builds are pretty much 100% done though
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Major_Sarcasm:
If you're in the US, why don't you buy an Evo? I'm sure the new Sense will be ported to it (if it hasn't been already).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisjasper:
If you want the ability to switch between Windows Mobile and different Android builds, get the HD2.

If you want a native Android phone with similar (not the same though, before the pedants flame me) hardware to the HD2 get the Desire.

If you want a more up dated similar Android phone get the Desire HD.

If you want a hardware keyboard get the Z.

Thats pretty much it sport
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suhas_sm:
Thanks :)

Coming to a conclusion that this phone is not a pure native android phone :(

Its better I w8 for Nexus S or go with DHD :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
As a TMOUS user I would just get the Desire HD if it was my first phone and I had the upgrade option. But I didnt, so I wanted the next best thing, a phone I could convert into a Desire HD, which was the HD2. I found one new in the box on craigs list for $250 and shelled out. Studied up on modding it and made it look like the Desire HD.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Emil-Ghoting:
I'm also a TMOUS user and found one of craigslist for under 200. Until they come out with a new 4.3 android phone, this will be it for me. I don't get the data drops and the only issue I come across is the 10 second lag in autorotate with the touchscreen. I'll take that. If the Desire HD (or comparable) ever comes to the US that's what I will move to
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ultramag69:
Looks like camera fix is available on Desire HD builds now.... :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] frostmore:
what you shouldn't expect a droid hd2...prefection.some builds are still WIP or some bugs not resolved.

then we have the nand camp who wants droid on their fone,wiping out winmo completely.this is still WIP.and still some impt issues not resolved.

other than that,hd2 is pretty impressive even with stock winmo.not that much of a diff between dhd other than a updated hardware.

if you like cutomising the hell out of ur fone but lack the money,go for hd2.you get spoilt to booting winmo cooked rom or droid builds available in the forums.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jas0nw0ng:
I dont know how you don't know that? It's a windows mobile 6.5 phone. How can a windows phone be a pure native android phone? If you are looking for a phone that can do exactly what a DHD or a Desire Z, you would have to get one of those phones as no other phone currently runs the new htc sense. The closest phone to a DHD or a Desire Z in US is an EVO 4G.
[Nexus One General] going_home:
Ok I was aware that Swype had an update, but I never took the time to get it.

But then I heard of the two incremental Android updates that were coming, so

I waited some more to update Swype till I got the two updates (knowing that an Android update means I need to re-install Swype anyways).

So yeah this time I tried 3 times to install it OTA to no avail.

(anyone else not able to get it OTA or was it just me ?) :confused:

I finally had to go to Panera Bread and use their wifi connection to download it Friday (I'm wired only at home).

Anyways its my fault Gingerbread isnt here yet, sorry guys. :o

Now that I've re-installed Swype it will be showing up right away. :D

Its sort of like...you know how it wont rain until you wash your truck ?

:rolleyes:

Can I buy some pot from you?
[Nexus One General] xsnipuhx:
None of what you just said makes any sense. Can I have some weed?
[Nexus One General] dowmace:
I think he's got the good stuff
[Nexus One General] PeterHook:
Makes perfect sense!
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
I'll take at least a half O, perhaps an Oz. By the sound of things, it's some pretty good **** :D .

EDIT: I love how every reply thus far has focused on the OP's use of pot LOL

Did I just smell pot for a sec?

You'll want the Gingerbread before the pot.

What have u been smoking :confused:? Do share! :):D
[Nexus One General] norazi:
I just moved on to swiftkey... I got tired of constantly learning to use the latest swype beta only to have it not work in a week and waiting for an update
[Nexus One General] going_home:
You guys crack me up, pot huh ?

I gave that up longer ago than many of you young fellas have been alive. ;)

Well I was tired but yes I was fishing for fun responses.

Anyone tried the 8pen keyboard, its almost bizarre, but yet very interesting.

My problem is if I have to type normally I have to have a hard keyboard

and not a virtual keyboard.

I'm stuck on Swype, its the best virtual keyboard I've seen.

Swiftkey is ok but you're still hunting and pecking to type

and thats fine for a hard keyboard but not acceptable for a virtual keyboard.

:cool:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
id love to see a settings app that has themed/color icons like sense or the epic. i tried a few themes on here for cm6.1 but certain aspects in crash when you try to change the settings. the black & grey icons in cm6.1 are kind of bland to me.

anyone care to help me out a bit?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkdude36:
ummm... arent we running sense?

I'm working on a theme. Here's a preview

any word on this yet? id like to theme the pop up setting menu too. the one that pops up when you hit the menu button. maybe with black/colored tabs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddlmr:
I have a rooted evo with S-off. I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045 to root my device and did not have any problems. I live in a 4G coverage area but my 4 G in very inconsistent but if I turn on 4 G antenna, update profile it will connect. My RSA keys are intact and my MAC address matches what I pulled up on ADB. I have been reading through post for 2.5 days as not to ask the same question twice. My wimax radio is 24722. Which I see is an older one but from what I gather updating this radio could ruin wimax completely. I hope I have provided enough info.

Thanks to all the dev and ROM creaters!!!

I was a ROM flashing fool with my HERO and I want my EVO to be the same experience!!!

Thanks in advance

Todd
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
If you flash a new radio yes it could ruin it. Big risk that way, if you update through you phone or ota it won't ruin it

Today I'm in a really good 4g area and others with eve's have 4g but I get it for a few minutes if I update profile.

thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3hPWN:
There is nothing wrong with the phone my friend i have been investigating this as well i need to do more tests but it seems once you flash a custom ROM your 4G is no longer as strong as it was from the factory. It wont matter if you flash a new radio, PRI or PRL, You can take a 100% virgin Evo and one that has been flashed over with the exact same RADIO PRI and PRL and you will notice a difference in the 4G Signal the stock phone will of course get a stronger signal. i have not tested this on a stock phone with just root access so im not 100% if this problem is Root related or Rom related but there is a difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
Whenever I was running a sense based rom I never had a problem with my 4g. Not to say that what your saying might not be true I'm just saying that I personally had no problem with 4g.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3hPWN:
I’m currently running a sense based Rom with all the same radios as the next guy I can literally put our phones side by side and his will pick up 4G where mine gets 3 bars of crappy 3G my friend down the hall same issue as me he’s running Baked snack I’m running Myns the other guy is stock we all got our phones at the same time so hardware is the same. I’m not *****ing just curious what’s causing the issue... :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sabrezoo:
I want Android Phone, for the first moment, I think I would buy Desire, but after search alot on XDA, then I got Confuse, cos HD2 Is very good to handle Android.... I want purely using Android on HD2 (Windows doesn't count).

Should I buy HD2 or Desire? what pros and cons each of them?

please help me to choose....

sorry for my english :o
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samsunguy:
Well seeing that you posted this in the android section your answer is most likely to be an hd2 but this has noting to do with question and answers snout android on the hd2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] leon98408:
I have Nexus One and HD2. I love them both

HD2 with android is real fast, faster then my nexus (your HD2 can have 1900 point on quadrant standard- my nexus only have 1650)

The digitizer on HD2 is easy to break (a lot people have screen response problems)

The battery on nexus one is last longer (U don't worry to run out battery in mid afternoon)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
If they both cost the same for you, then you might as well get the Desire HD. The only reason people put android on the HD2 is because it was the only 4.3" superphone on Tmobile's network, and it was crippled with Windows OS.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
If you only plan on running android, I would get a native android phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Aevum:
its better to run android nativly. get the desire,

if you want a HD2 running android, get a Desire HD,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wrecless:
HD-2 is only cool because we can customize the SHYT out of it. Flash a new rom every day if you like. With the Desire HD you will most likely be stuck with the same ole same ole and that may get OLD to you after a few months. So you have to decide if you like doing what most of us do wich is Flash the He11 out of our phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dashrink:
First of all we dont 'flash' anything by putting and android rom on out sd card. Secondly the desire hd can be rooted soon, and there will be tons of stuff 4 it! Youre askin this question in the wrong forum. Why? Coz we all have leos! The answer is simple: if u want native droid, get the desire!

I like the developement, so im sticking with my LEO!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] frostmore:
hd2 on desire hd rom will be realy sweet.

and to answer your question,like someone said earlier,hd2 has one of the most impressive hardware during that time when it was released and it was crippled by winmo.

not that winmo is bad or anything,its jus that winmo target mainly business users and not for entertainment.(etc ifone)

so you get a powerful fone with crappy software making it a test to you as a human when using this device.

if you got $$$ to burn,buy desire hd.its android and the fone is build for it.

you wan to tinker with your fone,buy hd2,tinker away and bliss out on your sofa.

take a look at the forums and read the android development,Q&A for hd2.you can get all the answers to whatever questions you might have to ask.
[EVO 4G Accessories] michaelvibe:
Has anyone purchased an extended battery that comes with a white battery cover? I have the white Evo (of course) and don't want to turn it into an Oreo haha.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aronslusa:
The Sprint extended battery comes with both black and white covers.

Personally I don't care for the white cover, and will likely be painting it some other color.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Shushunmire:
^

He is correct. However, I like the white backing. I call it the Stormtrooper Evo! >_>
[EVO 4G Accessories] animal7296:
I just had my phone replaced on saturday and was heavily contemplating the white evo. However after looking at one and seeing the pinkish tint it has I decided against it. I would like to get my hands on a white battery cover for mine tho.
[EVO 4G Accessories] playya:
Nice name....lol now if someone can find a clear extended battery cover I would be in business for my extended battery from Sprint...
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
The white EVO definitely does not have a pinkish tint, not even slightly. its a high gloss white. Probably was the lighting you were looking at in under.
[EVO 4G Accessories] playya:
Hahaha I was saying the same to myself when I read that... pinkish tint... my white EVO looks gooooooood
[Droid Eris Android Development] hakkeshou:
This ROM is rather incomplete as it is part of a project to backport parts of other HTC Sense 2.2 (Froyo) MDPI ROMs in ordr to have an HTC based Froyo ROM for Eris. Unlike the CyanogenMOD ports which have provided versions for models of their Froyo ROMs which were much easier to work on the Eris and have had 5+ months of painstaking work where this is only on its first month.

I'm just trying to get the optimization aspects done while others get full hardware functionality working, although I may join them soon. So what works? Allot actually. What doesn't? Thanks to Tazz, Tenzo, Conap & Decadance not much (BT audio, camera and WIFI hotspot).

It is fully themed using a combination of contributions providing a clean and somewhat unique Expresso look as well as many common performance tweaks which, to me, have provided a smoother, less choppy feel when interacting with the UI when compared to its parent ROMs.

Please note that portions of this ROM fall under the GPL, Apache and BSD licences. You may find the details of these licences here.

Since I rarely use the camera and never used BT audio I am currently using this as my day to day ROM. That does not mean it provides me a full experience. It is still very bleeding edge.

Features

Fully Expresso Based Themed

Additional Eye Candy

Official Google Reader

OI File Manager (Open Source, Apache License)

No BT Audio, Camera or Wifi Hotspot

Speed Optimizations

All HTC Goodies

Cache2cache (over 100MB additional app space)

Smartass CPU Scheduler (less voltage, automatic sleep cap, etc...)

CPU overclocking & underclocking provided by the feature above

HTC Marketplace in addition to Market

DroidX Boot Screen

No lame rainbow spotted default BG

etc...

New in this Release

Put all stock HTC apps back

Improved stability (less random FCs)

Removed OI Notepad since HTC Notepad works just fine

Added 3D gallery in addition to 2D gallery

Added Car Home (not tested)

etc...

Latest Download

Lite Version Download

NOTE:

Before releasing more updates I am moving my efforts towards helping Tazz & Tenzo with core functionality and take what I can for that and help Kaos with Gingerbread. Once all core functionality is in place for this ROM's parent ROMs I will get this going as a serious ROM with the same focus it has now. So development on this ROM is still 100% active but it is gonna take a bit before you see a new release.

I'm going to give this a try also. I've got two micro sd cards... one for Eclair ROMs and the other for Froyo ROMs. The Eclair card is partitioned for apps2sd and the Froyo card is all Fat32.

I downloaded it late last night and it took FOREVER! I see he updated the link... Anyhoo. I was able to get it to install and it seemed pretty smooth/stable. I saw a couple FCs.. one in particular was in Settings > Network > Mobile Net options. Each time I tried to get into that setting page, it would FC. I also tried to get Facebook from the Market and it would never download.

I like the new sense ui though! it looks really clean. I've not sampled Tazz's or Tenzo's yet.

No LWPs worked for me.

Switching back to XTRSense for now.

Keep up the work!

Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way I can replace my Galaxy Tab lockscreen (where you have to drag the unlock icon to the opposite side) to the Galaxy S lockscreen (the one where you have to swipe the glass)?

Thanks for your help!

Brian
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] cramjammer:
I concur...would gladly pay a dev to help out with this. I like the SMS puzzle unlock too. I think someone asked a while back to port it over to the DX but I don't think they had any luck because of the way the script was written for Touchwiz and Blur differ, or something like that. I would guess it wouldn't be as difficult considering we're taking about the same system, just size of screen right?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
I would also like this ported, as I would have liked this on my Desire. The problem in this case (i think) is making everything compatable with our res screens and rewriting the code to also compensate for the larger screen.

Probably some other underlying issues to tackle :/
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] risq:
I thought that was an Eclair feature and once Froyo was on the Galaxy S, you got the drag bars too?

Maybe it was just the way my old Galaxy S was set-up? Who knows.

Anyone having an issue with poor speeds using sense roms? I'm using;

MCC FroyoStone Sense ROM (latest)

Kernel version 8.5

wrapper .7

I'm having HORRIBLE wifi speeds.... almost pointless to use actually, I'm almost better off using Edge, 3G, or HSPA...

I'm connected via WIFI with COX high speed pushing 30+Mbps

using my PC i'm getting speedtests ranging from 26-38Mbps, then when i connect my phone, and do a speed test i get like 275-350 Kbps.... ?!~?

My edge connection gets me like 600-800+Kbps

Is this a Kernel issue, wrapper issue? Any idea on how to fix this?
