[HD2 General] HectiQ:
maybe the buttons? I hear many HD2 users complaining about them. But I must say I never have troubles with my device, I tested out some other HTC android devices and my HD2 is faster, there are roms here that get 3000 + quadrant score, and the DHD doesn't even get close to this.. But I think, the biggest problem with the HD2 is not always having cell reception. 9% of the time - 30% depending upon the area you live in ofcourse so that doesn't affect but also radio and that does affect so it takes quite a while before you found the best radio for your device, also because the radio affects your battery life. So you need to figure out a radio wich gives you optimal reception and also optimal battery life. I think a radio in the 2.10.50.X class is the best for me, but other users prefer other radio's. I use android every day so I must say, there is absolutely no lag on the HD2 but there is on other devices that run android only. THE PLUS: you can use TOMTOM, play PSX Games with PS3 controller, ... all windows things, yes you can hehe. The minus: booting android takes up to 3 minutes, okay it's not a really big deal but the DHD boots in 10 secs :p that's really amazing. what is cool is that our builds can be huge because we don't need an internal storage, android runs from SD, and faster than winmo even! so if you use a HIGHSPEED SD (HC), then you will have a nice android device. People are working on a 720P camcorder atm. I don't know I would doubt too! I like having winmo..
[HD2 General] hagba:
The difference is that HD2 has dozen of ROM both for Android and WM you can choose from,this in itself is a big advantage and freedom alike,I myself try an Android build at least a day!,they are fast and furious!,but keep going back to WM,nostalgia ,may be,however my son,who also has an HD2 he has become an Android fan,after he wears out this phone will most probably stick to another HD2.

Sorry if a bit off topic.I say get an HD2 this is a nice device.
[HD2 General] xspyda:
Thanks for your input guyts, very helpful!

Can I just ask about the multitouch and the ability to play divx / avi videos using an application such as rockplayer / vplayer? Is this ipossible and as smooth as the native Android devices?

Multitouch I think is important for the on screen keyboard. Is this as good as the native android devices also?

I'm almost sold I think from your comments so far!
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The hd2 only has 2 point multitouch, and it has issues where it will register 2 touches as being on the same axis if they are close to being on same axis. can mess you up when playing games with onscreen controllers. Newer android devices have 4 point multitouch.

I always say if you plan on just running android, get an android phone. When people say the hd2 runs android better than native android phones, they are usually comparing the tweaked, modified hd2 to a stock android phone. If you put in the time tweaking, rooting, and modifying the native android phone properly, it will run android much better than the hd2 can usually. And android phones also have custom roms with different builds you can try out also. A bunch of android phones can now dual-boot into 2 different android builds, running one off sd card, also.

Now, if you want to have winmo also on your phone, you can't beat the HD2. It does run android great for a port... definitely the best android port on a winmo phone... but you can definitely get native android phones with similar specs to run android much better if you take the time to learn to modify and tweak it like you would do with the HD2.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
Despite being a big MS fan, I have not gone back to WM since getting Android working smoothly. It runs perfectly for Divx videos on VPlayer (my personal fave)(and using CifManager I even stream movies from my WLAN server when at home!), and I use PSX4Droid with absolutely no lag issues, or multi-touch issues. My one piece of advice if you go down this route is to get the extended battery, so that you get a comfortable 2-day battery life.

Day-to-day, no issues at all, although you do need some trial and error for ROMs/Radio/Kernal.

If my HD2 died tomorrow, I'd get another HD2 for Android full-time. If money was no issue, I'd get the Desire HD, but honestly I do not see any reason against the HD2.
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
There are some phones that set the trend for XDA. It is the most popular for the time being and most devs own that phone. It might not be the best hardware for its time but since almost all devs and cookers develop for it, it is best to stick to it. I call this XDA phone. Currently, imho, that phone is HD2. This is why HD2 gets more android builds than many native android phones. My next phone will also be an XDA phone ;)

Im trying to change my rom to the cyanogen 6.0 from another rom and i cant seem to do a nandroid backup. It just hangs and the dots keep showing up, I waited over 30 minutes on the first try and didnt get anywhere so I pulled the battery.

I checked in my root folder and saw that i created a nandroid folder but when i right click it, it's over 800mb. It maxes out my memory card.

I dont know what is going wrong since I have done one in the past and it worked fine.

Okay why are people talking about gingerbread we haven't evengot froyo yet when are we getng that anyways sheesh and what they think we are getting gingerbread I've been told we are getting froyo tomorow for about 2 months now I feel like im seeing a crabshack sign saying free crab tomorow ughhh enlighten please
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Punctuation is a good thing. :p

My own opinion is that people, especially here, want the newest and shiniest thing on the block. It's human nature to want more than the next guy or gal.

So, we hear they are releasing a phone with Gingerbread native and the specs make it close to our phone. Well that should make it easy, or so they think, to port the rom to our device. We'll see.

But until we actually get any official Froyo code for our device, why only piss and moan about not having that when you can wish for the newest and shiniest.

My 2 cents.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mystery4869:
anyone can help me with my problem? thanks for paying attention to my thread 1st

i'm experiencing overheat of my battery which is around 45 degree Celsius on normal use

the lowest i can get is around 42, which is very high, doesnt matter i took it out for couple hours and put it back, temperature still the same, around 10 degree higher than normal

is it possible that the thermometer thing inside the battery has gone hay wired? if so how can i recalibrate it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafpigna:
WRONG SECTION. This must be posted in Q&A section

Anyway:

This happens on daily use? Also in standby?

or only when/after you are installing android rom?

You always had this issue or only using DesireHD rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] motoman234:
No one can help if you do not provide info. Windows ROM, radio, Android ROM, kernel, are you overclocking? What are you doing when the temp reaches the highest? Is it in the 40's all the time?

P.S. Questions should go in the Q&A section.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] talt:
You should also make sure that you are using original battery.

Some aftermarket batteries have wrong temp reading...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jjblaster3:
clock speed you're at and governor used?

i always underclock to 768mhz or 576mhz jus to keep my batt temp under 40 degrees celcius..

note that if you charge and use heavily at the same time, the temp rises higher than normal, so avoid this..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mystery4869:
sorry, wil move to Q&A right away

btw i'm getting tis temperature both with android and wm platform, even when i'm doin nothing and it is standby

my wm rom is dutty's family v7 and radio 2.15.50.14, android is mdj froyoHD 7.3 kernel 7.6HD

and i never overclock my phone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafpigna:
if you get same temp also in WMO, this means your battery is dying.

Buy another one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] foxcheng:
if you using s7.6 HD kernel, use the smartass setcpu profile.

my phone stays cold as long as screen off :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafpigna:
he said that his battery is hot also in Windows Mobile.

How SMARTASS will help him to get a cold battery in Windows Mobile?

Please read befor posting :D

His battery is going to dead shortly.

just elementary electrical knlowedge. When a Li-Ion/Li-Po battery start going dead, his internal resistance will raise up. You may now that havin some current passing thru an higher resistance will cause more heat. Think about a lightbulb. If it is 20W it's hot.. but a 200W it's hotter.

So, when your battery is hot without using it, means that internal resistance is raising up, so means that the battery is almost dead. It's time to change. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mystery4869:
sorry to say but my battery is only 1 month old.. everything began few weeks ago when it went overheated only once when i was playing game

and then i charge it and realized it cannot be charged

since then the temp remained high even it is cold
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafpigna:
a brand new battery could die also after 24 hours because defective.

The thing that you was not able to charge it.. confim my toughts. Your battery is damaged/defected. Trash it and buy another one.

Damaged/defected batteries could also explode.

hi everyone

Is there any theme for milestone that can change the original look for 2.1( status bar for example )

without installing a new rom?

also i have an update ( TelloBJK Rom V2 ) for 2.1 from here

http://www.mediafire.com/?0yzfd3dqzbk

when i apply the update my milestone will not start?

so can any one help me?

thanks in advance:):):):):):):):)

hi

the problem is that i depend on arabic language

and the roms available in here dont have arabic language

so that i cant use a rom does not have arabic

cyanogen rom is good but the problem is in browsing the internet

the letters are inverted

if i can fix it i'll use but i cant fix it so any help?????;););););)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alijs:
Hi brother,

you know, as I'm using Arabi too, I flashed back to the original "stock" sbf cause of the arabic issue from CM 6.1.1

After that I missed the cool look etc, but with ADlauncher and launcher Pro you can even use gingerbread theme over the stock 2.1 update 1.

you can find it in the market.

good luck

[myTouch 4G General] larryvand:
Google just showed the impressive new features of Google Maps along with the compatibility list of phones for all the new fetures. The G2 is on the list but the MT4G is NOT. Anyone know what are the GPU differences between the two?? Clearly the G2 must have something that the MT4G does not. I'm nearing my return period and I'm thinking that other than the lack of microSD slot on the Nexus S, the fact that the MT4G is not on the full compatibility list for Maps 5 may push me over the edge to return the MT4G and get the Nexus S.

So please someone talk me out of it. What exactly do all those phones below (including the G2) have in common in GPU features that the MT4G does not. BTW, here is the complete list of Maps 5 full compatibility list:

Google sent us a list of devices that support 100 percent of 5.0's features, which you can find after the break. The update is due out in the "coming days," according to Rubin. Great way to kick off Nexus S' launch, then.

Google Maps for Mobile 5.0

* Galaxy S

* Droid

* Droid X

* Droid 2

* Droid Incredible

* Evo

* Nexus S

* G2
[myTouch 4G General] smonme:
Possible goggles made that list before the mt4g was released seeing as its same processor as g2 I'm pretty sure we will be seeing the update

Sent from my frozen tower with my frosty glacier
[myTouch 4G General] vdub804:
lol :confused:so you would return your phone if it doesn't support a single app you sir are hilarious the fact that evo is on the list is a clue that the mt4g IS supported dont worry the mt4g will get it all with or without google's blessings:D
[myTouch 4G General] larryvand:
Actually the reason why I'm looking at the Nexus S is not just the Maps app that I use regularly and it's new caching feature in version 5. It's also the NFC chip and the big one the fact that the nexus S will be getting updates as soon as Google gets a new version out. How long do you think before the MT4G sees 2.3 let alone interim releases after that? My guess is that Nexus Google phones will have a much longer life span than any other manufacturer's phone. And that's just based on how quick the Nexus One been getting updates.
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
Yes and no, Don't forget about the poor plasticky build quality of the samsungs, and all the problems of the vibrant. I would not dare give up mine for a Nexus S simply for the lack of dual core processor, No HSPA+, No SD Card, No 786 Mb of RAM.

As for the updates we will get them faster than you think. Now since we are rooted the dev can get a hold of the update for us much faster.
[myTouch 4G General] werk:
I would guess that by the time nfc takes off, you'll be several phones past the nexus s. Also, as for updates....look how that worked out for the N1 and maps 5 ;)
[myTouch 4G General] 21productionz:
I think that list is FOS. There is no way the original Droid would get the new maps and not the N1. Considering the N1 processes graphics better than the Droid, and N1 is Google baby.

People often forget that the manufacturers don't really decide what goes where anymore. Devs run this $#!t woot woot!
[myTouch 4G General] Jaskwith:
I love how every thread in the MT4G forums slowly evolves into PRO vs CONS battle between the Nexus S and the MT4G, regardless of what the topic of the thread started as.. hah ha a
[myTouch 4G General] acejoker25000:
Nexus one doesn't support everything 100% which is why its not on the list but it will get the maps! Just because a phone isn't on the list doesn't mean it won't get the update it just means that it may not support every single new feature
[myTouch 4G General] ags29:
If you're replying all in the same thread and on the same topic, why do ppl still find it necessary to quote the previous poster? Waste of space imo..

And yea the mt4g will be supported, there's just so many devices that they aren't gonna bother listing all of them since they basically have the same specs.. duh. They took a leap and thought ppl might be smart enough to figure that one out.
[myTouch 4G General] werk:
You quote someone when you want to make it clear that you're addressing their post specifically and not just contributing to the conversation as a whole.

The list is for devices that will support 100% of the features of maps 5. Not just which will will be able to use it in a somehow-limited manner. For instance, the N1 isn't on the list because the way its digitizer supports multitouch will limit its functionality using maps 5.

Really, the only question is, is there something about the hardware of the MT4G that doesn't put it on the list of 100% feature support, or is it just an oversight since it is a relatively new device?
[myTouch 4G General] angel-78:
I am pretty certain that the MT4G wil have full functionality with Maps 5. When the Nexus One came out there was a lot of talk about how the touch screen that it had was not the best at the time. It has limited touch capabilities and that was a big complaint that many people had when the N1 launched. I figure that it was not a big problem until now.
[myTouch 4G General] corwest:
Nevermind.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
I completely agree. No SD storage, no HSPA+, 512MB of RAM...laughable for a N1 successor...IMHO.

I will keep my MT4G and for anyone jumping ship for the lousy new Nexus from Sammy....good luck. I'll pop in the forums to see all the issues you're having and laugh.

Sammy has a horrible reputation for sucking. MT4G rocks.

Snapdragon is a family of mobile processors by Qualcomm. Currently, all Snapdragon processors are based on ARM Cortex A8 design.

2nd generation

MSM7x30, MSM8x55 and QSD8x50A - all 3 variations share the same design, differs only by the clock speeds. These 3 variations run at 800MHz, 1.0GHz and 1.3GHz respectively. Each of these features Adreno 205 GPU which runs at significantly higher performance level than Adreno 200 found in the 1st generation Snapdragon processor.

..........

MSM7x30 is used by T-Mobile's HTC G2, HTC Desire Z and Verizon's HTC Lexikon/HTC Merge. MSM8x55 is used by T-Mobile's HTC myTouch HD and HTC Desire HD. QSD8x50A is rumored to be used by HTC Mondrian which will feature Windows Phone 7 OS.

All 2nd generation processors are manufactured using 45nm technology.

So yeah... they're the same processor with the same GPU.

EDIT: landscape screenshot courtesy of another fellow XDA member ("paulshields", scroll below to see his post):

Please note that I use LCD Density of 200 instead of the standard 240.

- Requires ROOT -

There are several sources where the Gingerbread keyboard APK and SO library can be downloaded from (e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4] and [5]), but personally I used this one:

http://fabdroid.com/goodies/Fabolous_GBKB_Fix.zip

IMPORTANT NOTE: this ZIP file is a ClockWork Recovery update file ==> DO NOT USE IT !!! (it will remove your system odex files) Just unzip and grab the APK and SO files.

Because the Galaxy Tab doesn't ship with LatinIME.apk and libjni_latinime.so by default, there is normally nothing to backup. DOUBLE-CHECK to make sure this assumption is correct !! (/system/app/ and /system/lib/) MAKE BACKUPS if necessary.

I used Root Explorer to transfer the APK and SO files from my SD card into their respective system folders, and I fixed the file permissions.

I then went to the system preferences, looked at all the settings for "Android Keyboard" (by the way, haptic feedback/vibration doesn't seem to work). IMPORTANT: select your language in the list and get familiar with the keyboard options BEFORE using it. Then I set the keyboard as the default input method (instead of Smart Keyboard Pro, which I normally use).

I then opened the note-taking app to test the keyboard. It's all working very well, no Force-Closes/crashes. There's a little more latency than Smart Keyboard Pro (I feel), but it's no big deal. It could be related to the handling of multitouch typing. Otherwise the auto-completion / word prediction is nice, so are the popup keys.

I still prefer Smart Keyboard Pro (I might as well, given I paid for it ;) ), but Gingerbread's keyboard is a definite improvement over the stock Froyo one !! :)

Cheers, Dan

EDIT: when using APKs extracted from the emulator image (system.img, 50MB, download links can be found on XDA), it is recommended to edit /system/build.prop and change "ro.build.version.sdk" to 9 instead of 8 (and reboot).

You mean the "arrow keys" (LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN) ? That's one of the many features from Smart Keyboard Pro that justify its purchase ;)
