[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lufc:
As soon as i got the streak the HD2 was sold, only one device would make me sell my streak and that would be the Streak 2 next year when its out:)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altugk:
So following the advices I got myself one yesterday. In a few hours updated to 2.2. This is a great device. All I need now is the it guys in my company to get it to sync with exchange server.

Dell_Nero syn software is a peace of crap. Looked to me like an itunes wannabe, failiure.

Does anyone have a sync software to get my appointments from my pc outlook to my streak? This seems to be my only trouble now.

Thank you all for your comments and recommendations.

I got mine a couple days ago since they were on sale. Had to cancle a line and re-open a replacement account so they didnt charge me a cancelation fee. Gave the hd2 to my son and thwt felt like I was giving away my baby or something.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puunda:
I wanted to share my experience with the Streak vs my HD2 and didn't want to start another thread.

Firstly, I LOVE my HD2. I've only had it 6 months, but in that time, it was mostly pain and heartache for me. I knew the hd2 is a great phone, just winmo 6.5 was letting it down. In finally settled on an custom Energy winmo rom, which was great, but nowhere near as great as Android. I loved android on the hd2, but it was always a bit slow, and battery life was very bad. But I was happy to put up with that, until the RAM version came out a few weeks ago, and I finally had my ideal phone and I loved it.

One of the reasons I loved the hd2 so much was because of the big screen. My friends who all own iphones tell me it's too big, but as long as it fits in your pocket, it's not too big a phone.

When I found out about the streak, I had to go out and check it out. The first thing I did when I saw it was put it in my pocket ... it fits! I'm buying it.

I walked out of the shop and put my sim card in and used it for a few hours. It was running ok under the stock 1.6, but about 2 hours later, all radio controls died. No phone, no 3g/data, no wifi or bt. I took the phone back the next day and after a lot of arguing got another one. It has been fine since (been less than a week). I upgraded to 2.2 and it's running fine.

How do they compare? I love the streak's big screen, but I do like my hd2, and am regreatting paying so much fo the streak.

The hd2 is about as big a phone as you can go while still able to operate it with 1 hand. I use swype and can pretty much do everything with 1 hand, which is handy when I'm walking around. The hd2 also lets me run winmo, which although is crap as software I like to run which is not available on Android. I like the flexibility of having both, and now with Windows Phone 7 out for the hd2, it really is the most versatile phone out there. I didn't know it until I didn't have it, but I got used to the HTC Sense. Mainly cause they have many cool widgets and refinments not availble on the standard 2.2. The dual led flash light is also much brighter on the hd2 than on the streak. Also for some reason my hd2 gets a MUCH MUCH higher quadrant score than the streak. I'm not sure why.

So while the hd2 has its fault, for me the hd2 set up like how I've got it is about as good as a phone gets. Plus you can pick up a used one for cheap. The streak offers pretty much the same specs with a bigger screen. So if the big screen (which still fits in your pocket) is important to you, get the streak. If you're a tweaker who likes to play around with roms and software, then get the hd2
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryo9502:
Hey guys...

Speaking of streak vs hd2, in my opinion streak advance in it's hardware (has it all, bigger screen, bigger ram and a front cam) but hd2 advance in rom versatility (wm 6.x, android, and even wp7)...

So is there a chance that the streak could get that kind of rom versatility (able to use wm 6.x and wp7 also)???
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br4nd0nh347:
HTC HD2 = My most favorite ever, for now.

Versatile, small (compared to Streak), yet very elegant. Camera was pretty good too. (custom rom)

I find that it lacked some apps I wanted, and the synchronization wasn't 100% with my google accounts. (And not free) and most important only 2G on AT&T

Dell Streak = Huge, Android 2.2, breathed new life into my mobility.

The bad. Battery life, camera not too good, size?

I have read other post but there is not a solution.

if screen off wifi not work, (work with AC)and I can't receive email or twitter or other... I try many widget from the market but nothing..I have original Rom......It's a wifi bug because if I try with mobile connection it's ok with screen off......Other people have this bug, is it possible that we can't resolve maintaining original Rom? thanks
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Its not a bug, check your wifi sleep policy.

Settings > Wireless & networks > Wifi settings > Press Menu > Advanced > Wifi sleep policy.

Make sure you save your changes > Menu > Save.
[Desire HD General] cesare1470:
I already have done this procedure....In wifi advanced I have "never"...then I have saved...the problem there is...
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Check if there are OTA updates available. If not then I would perform a full factory reset.
[Desire HD General] cesare1470:
I have done a factory reset
[Desire HD General] Andy:
I would suggest getting your DHD exchanged. Something isn't working as it should.
[Desire HD General] cesare1470:
I solved, It was my router ...
[Desire HD General] Andy:
I would of never thought it would be your router.

Glad to hear you got to the bottom of it.
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
I think I have the opposite bug...

I have Wifi sleep policy, "After 15 min" but I tried waiting more than 15min and Wifi doesn't get turn off...
[HD2 General] Duff33:
Gents,

Apologies if I have missed this in another thread (I did do a search!) or if this si the wrong forum :rolleyes:

Has anyone gone from Win Mo 6.5 to Android on their HTC HD2? Was it easy to do? What files would I need to back up etc? And is it worth doing?
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Apologies accepted since you missed alot of threads ! Most of us have Android on our HD2's .

It was very easy but you must do somethings first to guarantee a working Android on your HD2 . (Read the Guide on my Sig. )

You don't need to backup anything as the current Android doesn't touch your internal device memory (i.e. WinMo system files) It will run off your sd card.

Have fun :D
[HD2 General] gooberdude:
I ran EVO android from SD without having to mod my OEM phone.

Just make sure you do follow the directions and update the kernel as some may leave the kernel out of the bucket of legs and thighs.

It did mess with my time and date everytime I booted back into the phones OS but everything else pretty much was the same.

No speed improvements, may be a wee faster if loaded on phones memory.

Evertything the EVO Android had I had on my OEM phone, just different names on some apps.

Once I got my WM6.5 setup properly Android was usless to me.

Like linux it is a sloooooooooo booter. That is the deal breaker for me.

I like 30 second boots at the most. 20 seconds for a desktop is slow!
[HD2 General] Smartphoner:
HD2 will live!!

HD2 with its name LEO is really a king to the jungle out there with its new era of a great processor, an outstanding screen and a sexy look!!

Wm 6.5 is fine but android really excells in combining wm and ios and making a neat interface with user friendly handling!

I'm so meticulous with my device and using stock rom and radio, i tried android from one of the great builds done by MDJ (thanx a lot to him)

It doesn't do any harm coz i didn't need to upgrade rom nor ram and everything is dealt with thru sdcard

if u don't like it; just format or erase the android folders or just leave it there if u have a big memory

it's awesome by all means!! give it a try u wont loose anything!!

TMOUS stock rom 2.10 and radio 2.08
[HD2 General] krzyzag:
Hi there

Are you saying, that you've managed to run adndroid on your leo with stock Rom and radio? Thing is, that I would also like to try android on my handset, but I'm too scared to hurt it in any way - hence not too keen on changing rom / radio - which seem to be only way according to info I've managed to find so far :(

Would you care to share your phone configuration, to see what you're running?

Many thanks.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Your current configuration won't run Android. It needs a radio of at least 2.08.50 (MUST be a .50, NOT a .51!!!) The ROM is irrelevant - only the radio matters to Android.

There is an official ROM upgrade available that takes you up to a 3.14 ROM with a 2.15.50 radio, but I don't know if you can use that without HSPL as you have a branded handset.

It may be possible to just upgrade the radio, from the HD2 ROMs thread, and leave your Windows ROM as it is.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
They are two separate systems - WinMo in the phone's ROM and Android on the Phone's SD Card.

The only real requirement is that your RADIO must be at least 2.08.50 (any one higher than that with a .50 will do). So you need to know what software you already have:

Settings -> About phone -> Software information. Here you will see the Rom, Radio versions. If the radio is not correct, then we'll go through the procedure on how to update it.

The chefs in the Android ROM section give details on what you download and how to set it up.

As for backing up, there should be no need to (as they are independent systems), but better safe than sorry; install SPB Backup. Even if you weren't thinking of running Android, having a backup is always advisable.
[HD2 General] modified2:
mismatch

I have a bootscreen on WM that shows 3.14 as the ROM but in Settings/phone/ software information it still shows 1.48 and a date of 09/29/10.

Is this normal? does this mean my upgrade failed?

Radio release is same on both - 2.15.50.14
[HD2 General] Archer:
Don't worry about what is says when Windows is running. The value shown then is from the registry, so it can be changed. Have you done a restore from a backup application by any chance?

Anybody try out the new Voice to Text feature on the LG Windows Phone 7? Any way that we can get it on the other Windows Phone 7 models? If I understand correctly it is only available for the LG. Any thoughts would be great!!!

Thanks Guys
[Windows Phone 7 General] gordec:
I works pretty well. I have Samsung captivate and LG quantum. The LG app is about as good as the Android Google voice actions interms of accuracy. Basically you open the app, and it allows you to pick which app you want voice to text to use for, messaging, email, twitter, etc. You then record your text and then hit ok, it will open the messaging app. All you need to do is pick who you want to send it to. I would use it. Pretty cool app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] michael_chea7:
sweet sounds cool...anybody know if we can somehow get it on say the samsung focus
[Windows Phone 7 General] jaraya13:
Yes it will be great on my Focus! Please keep us updated.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ebosian:
LG has some pretty cool aps, the best of all manufacturers IMHO. All three features; DLNA, Voice-2-Text, and Augmented Reality are dreamers for me. If the LG Quantum was released at the time I got the Focus it would have made me pause and think about it. Still 60-40 chance i would have gotten the Focus because of the larger/crisper screen and the storage upgrade.

But here is to hoping MS brings LG's apps to all WP7's...
[Windows Phone 7 General] michael_chea7:
does anyone know if it is at all possible to extract the xap from a windows phone 7
[Desire HD General] AH_BlackZ:
I want to buy HTC desire HD but excuse me I want to ask 2 questions about it 1st

and I want your answers plz..

I heard that this device has poor speaker and also headphone quality and loudness compare to devices like Iphone 4G and HTC desire and samsung galaxy S and I want to know if this true or not ?

and I want to how long DHD battery last ?
[Desire HD General] thang76:
hi.about the speaker it doesn't sound very loud.for the battery i think is the most weak point of the device.you can run out after 12h.anyway we know that is the disadvantage of smartphones with big screen.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
the speaker max volume is a 1 notch less than the desire, but its still fine, the quality a bit better than the desire (cleaner) the supplied headphones are ok but the quality with other headphones is very good, you can boost it with SRS option which really gives a nice bass

as for the battery, being careful with your wifi connection, sync options and screen brightness the battery will last you 12-14 hours under heavy use and up to 1 and half day in light use
[Desire HD General] Burning_aces:
Ive not had issues with the speakers, little quite at some points but its a phone.

In terms of the battery it depends how much you use it. If you never touch it and leave everything off or leave the phone off I imagine it will last some time. If you never put it down, have everything syncing all the time, consistently playing games, i imagine very little.
[Desire HD General] AH_BlackZ:
thanks for your answers but is there any way like application or software update to make DHD speaker louder or this problem is hardware problem ??
[Desire HD General] M_T_M:
There are some "solutions" available for that speaker issue but from wht I've read it's still kind of crappy :(

This seems to be a descent phone based on everybody's reaction and the fact that HTC has run out of them quite often.
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
I don't have any sound mods on my DHD, I use a decent pair of Sennheiser in ear buds and at full volume the sound is loud enough to make you want to turn it down. As for the speaker it's not loud, but it's not quiet. The quality is much better than other HTC phones I have owned(or any other phone for that matter) and I've had five or six.
[Desire HD General] EleCtrOx666:
I was planning to buy this phone but crappy sound, bad battery life, lcd instead of amoled, init process lag made me change my plans. I guess I'm gonna wait for LG star.
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
The sound is fine, there is no init lag once you activate USB debugging, and I think it's just an issue with stock ROMs.
[Desire HD General] EleCtrOx666:
Yeah I still might be considering buying this I don't really know. I'm gonna see more reviews to be sure.
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
the sound quality of the headphone output is good, but a little thin sounding.

the battery life is a mixed bag. the 3g uses a HUGE HUGE HUGE amount of power (my battery ran down to 50% after 3 hours in a poor 3g reception area)

now that i have switchpro i can turn 3g off and the battery is now at 79% after 13 hours, 21 minutes. that gives a predicted life of 52 hours. this was with half an hour of phone calls, 6 missed calls and 22 text messages.
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
I dare say you have poor headphones, I spent £50 on mine and the sound is very good, I use them for watching films and the bass and treble are very balanced.
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
lol, i have ultrasone HFI 780's, £170 headphones and a dedicated headphone amplifier costing £250. ;)

all i was saying is that its not going to beat a dedicated MP3 player any time soon, but its not far off the iphone and itouch.
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
The speaker is ok but i dont go around playing music on loud speak, i have got Dr. Dre Beats Tour and with SRS option at full volume is just amazing and i use the Dolby option when watching avi movies.
[Desire HD General] Kalavere:
Lol I was going to say you're expecting too much putting it through all that gear, but aye it won't beat a dedicates MP3 player, like I said I only use mine for films and the sound is well balanced to my ear, HTC have never had amazing sound granted.

I'm running the newest MIUI - n_i_x MIUI v0.12.3.0 on my Incredible. It doesn't have the Verizon Visual Voicemail. I've downloaded the Verizon Visual Voicemail from the market, but it tells me that my phone came with a visual voicemail application and that I need to uninstall the one I downloaded from the market.

Has anybody gotten the VVM to work with MIUI? Or, does anybody have the Incredible vvm.apk file I can try?

Also, please do not ask me why I don't just use Google Voice. I'm asking about the VVM application. I've also asked this on the MIUI Dev forum and nobody has answered.

Verizon VMM on non Stock ROMs

You can modify the build.prop change the "ro.HorizontalVVM = true" to "ro.HorizontalVVM = false" and the VVM app from the market gets past its uninstall me screen and continues to set-up. I use Google Voice and am not paying the $3 for the VZW service so I don't know how far it actually works. Test it out and let us know? Maybe others can include the update to the file for ROM releases?

How do u install this?
[Droid X General] typo13:
my droid x says its running system version 2.3.9 with boot loader version 30.03, i never installed any leaks only OTA updates. I thought the most current OTA 2.3.15 until 2.3.340. Basically i'm trying to get the most recent OTA with out bricking my phone. I know for sure i got the 2.2 OTA but if i did how come its not showing the correct system version?

I have the 2.3.15 SBF should i flash that then run OTA updates from there?

Flashing the 2.3.15 SBF.... which is what my phone should of been showing for system version. And then i'll attempt to run OTA updates from there.

well the SBF flash worked and the system version now shows 2.3.15 just guessing when i ran the 2.2 OTA it must not of flashed correctly and updated the system version.. I am currently running the new 2.3.340 OTA at the moment. Hoping that don't brick or damage my phone.

2.3.340 loaded fine and my boot loader now shows 30.04.

guessing i'll be fine for OTA updates in the future.

Now off to root,backup and deodex.

guess this can be closed, or left open in case some one else has this problem.

The only time I have ever experienced overheating and automatic rebooting with my Desire was when using a modified Kernel with UV (undervolt module). I think that Undervolt modules was the problem. At that time, within 10 mins of browsing via Wi-Fi, my phone would always overheat, with the battery becoming excessively hot and reboot.

My desire do heat up occasionally, but never had reboot because of it. It tend to heat up more when i am on Edge than on 3G. I am posting this with 3G connection on my Desire with WIFI hotspot on..there is not heat.

PS: may be you should add a third option in the poll "overheats but doesnot reboot"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerhard_wa:
"Overheat" is by definition a state of heat that the device is unable to handle. Heat without problem (forced shutdown, lockup and so on) isn't overheat.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
32% ? Getting worse. it's waaay higher than approx 1% stated in some threads. i know it's probably incorrect, so more people we get voting more precise figure we will get.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
You should know that this poll would never reflect objectively how much users experience unwanted reboots.

Many users are just interested in things that they would find helpful and would not even bother to see this thread.

Don't forget that if a desire owner experiences reboots he will likely log in xda and look for solution as this is probably the best site on info about htc devices and android development, thus here are many more people that have this problem than those that don't have it.

And lastly not everyone that owns a desire, owns also an xda account.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:

Yes my Desire also heats up and reboots. And I must say that over time the situation is getting worse day by day.

I havent been able to find any solution to this problem. My Desire is rooted and I have tried several ROMs over 6 months that I have had this.

The worst situation is that I can;t even send it back for warranty claim because my friend bought it for me in UK and sent it to Pakistan and now I dont have any source to send it back to UK for warranty claim.

If anyone here at XDA, knows ANY solution to this heating/rebooting problem, PLEASE let me know. I will be highly greatful to you.
