[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG101:
Did you say Stylus?? hahahaha.. havent heard that word in a while... plus the stylus doesnt usually work on a capcitive screen..

In respect of HD2.. rightly said.. you need to do a lot of twearks,, but once done you are good to go.. or you find a good custom ROM and you are all set... With Sashmi you can install all your tweaks and the apps automatically when you flash a new ROM.. PLUS to Root (read HSPL) a WinMo phone is just too easy and straightfwd...

While going thru the rooting for DHD, goodness... i got confused.. so many times :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genting1:
I just upgraded to dhd from hd2 last week. I had been running mdj's dhd roms for more than a month....so the upgrade was not revolutionary. It was not a necessary upgrade except that I was flashing new roms every other day....

The pros of dhd compared to hd2

Slightly better screen...colors and sharpness

Better screen sensitivity

Better battery

Maybe a bit faster and more stable??

Better cam & video

But external speaker is very soft.

if I had known...I prob would not upgrade. Now my son is running mdj gingerbread on the hd2...lots of potential...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
Yes Stylus!! LOL, Omnia has a resistive touchscreen so a stylus makes things easier. Yeah I've been doing alot of reading for HD2 and now how to flash, and I agree that it's much less confusing then rooting the DHD. The initial shock of reading how to root was overwhelming haha!

I think my only best bet now is to go and try a HD2 in a shop, but I must wait till the 5th for shops to open. If I can save 200bux for near same experience then I'm all for it. I'm a student and don't have cash just lying around lol, I mean the DHD costs more then my car!! (Had my 180sx stolen from where I study and needed something which nobody would bother stealing...POS '91 Ford Festiva)

@genting1 Will you be looking to go back to a HD2? Are you now regretting buying? Is the DHD enough?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG101:
IN that case.. an HD2 it is for you.. thats the phone I have had the longest :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genting1:
Not regret...just that it did not have the WOW factor....as the hd2 and mdj did a fantastic job.

But I do miss my garmin gps on hd2 winmo
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukscj:
Dude if ur a Android fan then buy a DHD

Yes HD2 is good but its good for moding, Android on it sometimes gets stuck n then u have to put a new build on it

I had hd2 for a long time n its the best phone I had

Learnt a lot about moding on HD2

Just got my DHD 2 weeks ago n no problems so far

HTC did an OTA update that fixed all the issues

Now DHD is the best phone as far as I no

Wait for few more days get some more money

Ask few of ur friends for some maybe they can help u out with ur money problem

But don't buy HD2 if ur gonna use Android for every day use

Hope this helps

:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemental_Fire:
To my fellow student...

I know what it's like, the ability and situation to spend money on any device you wish...an upgrade is however, necessary. Your old phone seems quite old, judging by its manufacture date and stylus interactions. What you have to remember, as a student as well as a person, is what device will serve your needs more? Do you want a more multimedia-oriented phone or a business phone? What will consume less time and work out of the box? Right now, it is a very critical time for me. I have seven exams in January alone. If you are in a situation even a fraction of what i'm in....well you get the point. I previously owned the HD2 for the best of a year before "upgrading" to a Desire HD. I would say that Windows Mobile, although an extremely flexible OS that allows for many tweaks and customisations, is an extremely old and "outdated" OS...it requires a dedicated owner and a lot of time to get it the way YOU want it. Also, you will get into a habit of regularly flashing custom roms and trying out another Android build etc. I believe that it is a phone for people who wish to experiment and realise the potential of a device.

On the other hand, you have a Desire HD. I would see it as an entertainment class phone. It has the same size screen as my old HD2, but more vibrant colours. The speakers are low and softer in volume, although who ever uses phone speakers to listen to music? As students and on the train and in lessons, we use our phones to listen to OUR choice of music in privacy and as a form of time-passing and relaxation. The Desire HD is a valuable music player, as it reproduces sounds far better than my HD2, thanks to SRS and Dolby sound effect algorithms. It is quite adept at playing multimedia, and has 720p capture AND playback abilites. There is also an 8mp camera sensor, and nice applications.

Personally, I believe a Desire HD will be more suited to you. It is a newer model with more powerful/updated hardware. From what I assume, if you were to purchase a HD2, primarily you would use it for Android on a daily basis and GPS navigation within Windows? If that is so, i'd suggest going for a Desire HD. I have one, and it is flawless. Android on the HD2 will never be on the level of a Desire HD. It natively runs the OS, and the device is fully stable. Booting into Android on a HD2 and back and forth to Windows will take at least a minute either way. It's up to you in the end, but I advise you go for a Desire HD. Although it's more expensive, it's all the more appealing and filling. Thus you will have the latest device, best hardware, a smooth OS experiance and the ability to download programs from the Market at the swipe of a finger. As a side note, if you want another device recommendation, it would be a HD7. Rumours have it that it is selling for £414.00 on Amazon and less on Ebay! In the end, the choice falls to you. I hope i've clarified the situation for you

(And in case you are wondering, no I don't regret getting a Desire HD. The experiance, smoothness and perfection alone are enough to make me happy and show off my device)

:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
I won't even look at WP7 until it matures more and see how it turns out, seems too limited too me and I don't think I will be happy with it.

I'm not a fanboy of either OS but I do feel WinMo is getting old and customizing is essential to get the most out of it. I haven't had too much interest in Android until recently when I was researching more about it and it has really grown on me.

I've been keen for a HD2 for months and months simply to try Android without completely moving to a full Android device but that was before I knew more about Android and it seems like it's a great OS. Definitely "future proof" where developers will spend time on it so new software will always be available, unlike WinMo.

Better hardware is a lot what I've been thinking about, so why not right, it would be time for once to own the best right NOW.

But anyway, I think I've been convinced and I'm gona break my own "rule" ($400 max for a phone, in the past anyway lol) and thank you all for your time to help me out, I look forward to owning a Desire HD :D

So first thing I should do with the phone is get S-OFF and flash Buzz 1.0.6 kernel and then update to latest version? Or get S-OFF, update and then change kernel?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemental_Fire:
I'd suggest S-off, then flashing Android Revolution HD (either latest one for android 2.2.1) or Android Revolution 1.9.3 for android 2.2...real difference is slightly faster IO speeds..but with latest rom you can't flash a custom kernel...yet! You can also try Leedroid, and try out kamma's kernel, although I have gps problems with this combination. Hope I helped!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitehawkbg:
Hey guys!

I'm new to Android and how it all works.

here I have a Galaxy S I9000 on T-Mobile with 2.1

I wanted to upgrade to 2.2 and from what I've read on the forums I did the following:

downloaded Odin and .pit files (used odin 1.7, and pit file ending in 512)

then used for PDA file I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar

plugged my phone in, went into download mode and started installing the 2.2 I guess.. and now is COMPLETELY DEAD!! won't turn on at all and I'm really frustrated. I removed the battery and the sd card and tried to boot it up few times ... but NOTHING!!!

please help!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
You can try this, remove the battery then just press the buttons for download mode while its held down find a way to insert the battery back, this should give you back your download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitehawkbg:
my phone doesn't have the 3 button thing... my home button is a touch button not a regular one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Then do the combo keys required for your phone ( if any ) while the battery is removed and insert the battery while having it held down. Should have researched a lot before flashing with Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniflight:
Don't worry, the t-mobile version is pretty hard to brick

here is the correct forum for ur phone: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitehawkbg:
what is the combo key? I can't find it anywhere.

p.s. just found out that my phone is hardware locked, so I guess I'm done with the phone :( good thing I got the best buy black tie protection....not till saturday tho.

Just Compiled Cyanogenmod 7 Release Candidate zero and added the camera apk from Bnice20's rom

I Would Actually Recommend using bnice20's rather than this but just throwing it up for people who would like to test CM7

i will update every few days (probably once a week) until cyanogen starts releasing Nightly's or Release Candidate

^^ that is also dependant on wether or not people use it

I'm getting a lot of graphical uh-ohs. The boot animation and everything has a lot of vertical lines making everything look all funky.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Roy Jovero:
Hmm... All I had to do to fix the graphical weirdness was put the phone to sleep. For an RC0, it's pretty nice. Just looking forward to the 3D app drawer, screen off animation, and other goodies.

[EVO 4G Android Development] unknown1205:
nice! whats new in CM7? 4g? gingerbread?
[EVO 4G Android Development] edufur:
Well, I had heard that the more secure corporate exchange server support was supposed to be built into Gingerbread out of the box. I can tell you all definitively that it doesn't work in this version. Maybe that is coming in the final released version?? Policy enforcement needs to be allowable. Can someone either verify that it will be available in the released version, or could you tell us if there will be a workaround like the support that is built into the HTC sense builds?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wryun:
Not bad. Waiting for the official CM7 though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fmedina2:
Is this official Cyanogen or just a modification to CM6?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wryun:
Good question. I would like to know as well ...
[EVO 4G Android Development] KLLSWITCH:
this is a preview of CM7 just like the title says no its not cm6 just modified considering cm6 is froyo 2.2.1 this is gingerbread 2.3 that's been built from cyanogenmod's code
[EVO 4G Android Development] Roy Jovero:
I found it weird that it's still using ADWLauncher. If it's supposed to be GB, why the aftermarket launcher?
[EVO 4G Android Development] housry23:
Yeah!!! 26th post!!! Where's my prize?

Thanks for sharing. How did you know I was going into withdrawals from not flashing a CM nightly build? Well I appreciate it. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] eighty1:
Haaaaaa! No prize Sir. Yea i get the same way with CM builds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] uultramann:
I was also wondering the same thing. Why ADW when GB has a decent looking launcher already.
[EVO 4G Android Development] christofur84:
Try wiping and flashing the format all zip....flash rom then flash gapps...no reboots in between....this rom works flawless

Wifi is perfect

Gmail works

Leds work

Camera works

Only thing that that threw me off was the adw launcher. Other than that its definitely a daily user.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xhazyx:
Because this is a CM ROM... They use ADW since it is open source and customizable
[EVO 4G Android Development] EJerVJerO:
Sorry to say but this thread is a duplicate http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886294 . Should check next time before posting something like this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Is bluetooth fully functional on this rom? Bluetooth is my biggest compliant on the Salvage rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrpuffin:
yeah i think the stock launcher is open sourced too but not completely sure about that though also adw is in my opinion more customizable and usable than the stock one

also if you really want a gingerbread launcher they're in the market just search "gingerbread launcher" and there is like 20 of them

as far as i know yes but i have not tested the headsets

i use it to do a bluetooth dun tether between my ipod touch and phone with pdanet (as it's less power consuming than wifi tether)
[EVO 4G Android Development] edufur:
Could you see to it that the released version of this will fix the exchange cert issue for those requiring extra security policies? Apparently this was seen before and addressed in a "nightly" of CM6 but quite honestly, I don't know if they ever really fixed CM6.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Candar:
But is this the same precompiled zip?

That said, has anyone had trouble restoring with one as opposed to the other, like the warning on the other thread says?
[EVO 4G Android Development] donatom3:
Sorry to say but the OP clearly stated that he compiled the zip himself and put in a camera APK that the thread you're referring too doesn't appear to have included.

Cyanogen has not compiled a CM7 build yet, people like the OP went on github got the code fired up their linux install (which requires 64 bit linux now) and compiled it into a zip to make it easy for those who don't know how to do it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Which is what I already did. People need to read. The build on my post are strictly cyanogenmod. The purpose isn't to have everything working right now. Its to understand where the rom currently stands and what we as a community can do to help the cyanogenmod team. Just grabbing an apk doesn't really contribute to the point I was trying to make here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886294

Nothing is modified and just pushed pure CM build for people who want to help or just see how things progress and how much work the CM team actually does to pull off something like they do everytime. Alot of people are truly missing the point of the cm7 builds and that alone makes me a sad panda.
[EVO 4G Android Development] donatom3:
Yeah I wasn't implying you didn't. I was just letting the person know that even though this may seem to be a duplicate technically it's not cuz it's his compilation which includes an apk for the camera that yours does not. So while very similar both threads have their place.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jimdog420:
Also I read somewhere if you want the gb launcher you need to clear the defaults or something, I'll look for the links. But I'm pretty sure its already on the rom.

Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

[EVO 4G Android Development] mrcamposd:
so i've been reading the rom is good but does it has 4G yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmart4:
no 4g available yet for aosp roms, should be coming very soon tho
[EVO 4G Android Development] Award Tour:
Maybe it's just me but I think it's inappropriate to call this RC0. This is a very early testing build compiled and released by a third party; CM always declares, releases and associates RC's as a near stable stable release - this is neither. Just think that it's confusing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrpuffin:
i do not think mine is really differant from lithids besides the camera apk (which took like 30 seconds to do) so i wouldn't give too much more credit to myself

all i did was compile CM7 from Cyanogen's github no changes whatsoever so people can test out the new CM if they want

now the advantage is he might compile one day and i might compile at a later time meaning more revisions and more up to date

so feel free to choose what one you want to use and enough with the duplicate thread thing already because yes i know that now thank you

and people telling me to search

XDA search "Cyanogenmod 7" evo it does not show his thread since it is labled cm7 and not cyanogenmod 7

therefore i compiled it for testing and uploaded after searching that not seeing anything i thought it wasn't a duplicate and i don't exactly go through every page on the development section plain and simple
[EVO 4G Android Development] KLLSWITCH:
the more the merrier that's what i always say
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrpuffin:
release canidate zero means it is not officially released as even a beta

if you compile it the Mod version is "CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC0-Supersonic

which i did not name

also i acctually kinda agree with what your saying as it isn't close to being stable at all but whatever they feel like calling it

I've had this thing for a week (Zpad SMB-1002-3G). I normally find new hardware platforms to be a little average, but I must say, this is working VERY well.

My Quadrant score was 2350 from memory and I don't have problems with Video either. I'd say the reviewer has probably broken something by installing so some (incompatible) apps on there.

Just for everyone else, these are the Apps I run (that work well)

LauncherPro

Touchdown (Exchange)

Pocket Cloud

File Expert

MSN Talk

Clarus Battery

Morelocale 2 (needed for Australia)

Photoshop Express

Everything else is stock (not rooted etc).

I do however have the battery calibration problem. My was 94, then it went to 91, now it's 89% after a full charge. I'd love to fix that, but it's battery performance is still VERY good, so I'm not too worried about the gauge.

Can anyone recommend a good backup program for the Zpad without "rooting" it.

Should I just Root it and run Titanium Backup? Has anyone done this with Zpad?

Cheers, Mal.
