Android Rocks on HD2

Same here

I am a Noob :confused:, while browsing Craigs List I found a USED HD2 for $100.00 and bought it with the SOLE purpose of using it with Android :D

I used : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843221 on my HD2 Working great since 1 week and using it as Daily Driver:)

I get about 18-24 Hrs out of it with Moderate to Heavy use, DATA ON all the Time (3G and H) , real time update of Email and weather and other apps etc, Surfing web (NO Games), using few Apps, about 30-45 min talk etc

I have not experience any real Issue.;)

HD2 is very capable phone and with Android it Rocks:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sleeplessnerd:
I just did that, bought a used one and put SuperRAM v1.5 on it - Works like a charm.

Battery lasts about a day.

The loopback Image thing is a bit annoying, because you cant mount the sd-card via USB on your computer.

My main reason was the Price-Hardware relation - You pretty much wont get any better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
I like Nexus S since it has 1500mAh battery - but thats's about it since Ginger is coming to most of the phones anyway...

Would I buy HD2 to run full Android now and again... let me think: YES!

Only reason is: you can try all different builds without going through the jumps and hoops and run it easily from RAM or SD Card - native OS not affected - therefore, yes and yes :) ...

FYI - only phone as an Android phone I would consider buying is Nexus S - but would consider my consideration due to network speed limits Nexus S has - no 4G I guess... Let's see what 2011 brings us all and let's touch base again within 6 months from now.

you got money to burn,get a dhd coz its native android device.....

you got no dough,get hd2 coz the specs are as close to dhd and you get to tinker around with it as much as u like.

if you got dough and can wait...wait for the new htc incredible hd.

and lastly if you got the patience of a saint,wait for the dual core htc hd phones....

yeah once you go hd,anything smaller is pain on the eyes.....lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcheng11:
i would say go for it. android is definitely not perfect on the hd2, but it definitely is a good experience. since it's your first device, you don't have to mess around with the dangers of rooting (although i think it's gotten easier since the dream days) since hd2 android roms have the rootfs already installed. i'm personally anxious to see what the next big push for android is, so i might give up my hd2 for that, but for now, i wouldn't trade my hd2 for any full android phone. plus, i totally understand your situation--most people are dishing out used hd2's for crazy cheap just because they don't like winmo. take a little bit of time and flash android, and you've got very nice hardware with software that brings out the best of it.

Main phone + game playing + kindle for ebooks + browsing the internet, also use it for work email as HTC Mail connects to exchange just fine. Also listen to our home music collection via Audiogalaxy and streaming internet radio stations such as TheBlast.FM and XFM.

I catch the train and tram to and from work so I am spoilt for choice with things to do on my phone :)

Battery drains quite fast for me, but I do tend to hammer it. I try to remember to charge whilst at work for a couple of hours at least and I charge it overnight at home.

Talking to colleagues with HTC Desires, they have similar battery life issues, so i think it is more to do with Android in general and not specific to the HD2 ports.

Yes....I just did this a month ago. I did it more to say I put android on a win mobile phone ..... was going android and off contract so the hd2 was perfect for me

In the last month my HD2 is running only Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] beankured:
I'm going to say, "No."

I feel like I'm tinkering with it too damn much.

At the moment, I'm dealing with constant data drops no matter what I do or whatever build I'm on.

I had the MDJ desire 4.4 running perfectly... well... as perfect as it could at the time and then of course, I had to tinker with it and update to 4.6 and that's where my problems began :)

If I had the opportunity to get an Android phone, then I would. I wasn't one of those who got the HD2 to port it to Android. I got it because it was the best phone T-Mob had at that time. I also thought Windows Phone 7 would be upgraded to it back then as well but that didn't happen.

The fact the HD2 got to extend its life by having the android port was a bonus. Plus the phone is already over a year old now and in phone years, that's an eternity! :)

I call my HD2 the "Frankenstein Phone."
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atomical007:
If you want to use only Android on HD2. My answer is "NO". You should buy Samsung Galaxy S or Nexus S instead.Anyway I am thinking of changing my HD2 to Nexus S.:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LeoJu2:
I agree. I'm running gingerbread on mine and its as if it were the original os. Everything runs perfectly. Don't know what everyone else is doing wrong. I was thinking of getting the Evolution, my only reason now would be for the front camera. besides if I want to run WM again I can. Just waiting for a Windows Phone 7 build.

Sent from my fully working Gingerbread Android 2.3 HD2! Indeed!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curiousGeorge:
HD2 main phone. Android works flawlessly with proper configuration, except for USB transfer (for this you should use winmo OR use droid explorer with android). Alternate ways of transferring files including turning the phone off and putting files on the SD card directly, uploading the files to the internet to download on the phone, serving the files from your computer via ftp, etc. That's only a tiny issue.

Battery drain is 3mA on standby and 200mA in normal use (280mA when playing 720p videos, 400mA using the camera, 210mA when making phone calls). This puts battery life at over 50 usable hours. There are many ignorant/lazy/unlucky/abusive users who cannot acheive decent battery life because they do not use the proper ROM, radio, loader, kernel, and memory card configuration, however, and this forces their battery to drain at a constant 60mA on idle, resulting in total life under 8 hours (just under a day's use).

Long story short: the HD2 is an extremely fast and fully usable android phone. It's also one of the best WinMo phones, and even makes an interesting Ubuntu tablet. It can also run Android from RAM and so on, with quadrant (Android benchmark) scores over 3000. There is no single phone that beat this at semi-normal configurations. In addition, Windows 98 runs almost perfectly on it, and there are preliminary efforts to get Windows Phone 7 running (time will tell) on it too.

Currently, it's the best you can get. It's also one of the most affordable. This makes it very nearly the best phone currently in existence. Don't believe me? Get an iPhone 4 and go elsewhere. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SorenStirner:
Let me check some points:

-Full HD2@Android is daily usable and some of you did it already. The main issues are fixable choosing the best loader-kernel-build combo. Battery draining with some fixes reachs DHD's duration.

-Someone can't get rid of some issues (crash, freeze, minor bugs) and swear that they tried all the main build with no results, making the HD2@android experience not good enough for a daily use.

-HD2@Android is as fast as any other snapdragon native android device.

-HD2@Android got the best value for $, better than any other native android device.

well... I think I'll get one and just hope to guess the best software combo, otherwise I'd end up with just the best WM6.5 device around.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] knothead:
You will not be sorry. Over the weekend I made several sd cards with different builds just to try them out. Its a lot more fun this way as you have the full "phone" built on a sd card and can swap out an a moments notice. I suppose from here I need to learn to make them all work from one sd card...or not.

Theres a lot of bang for the buck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jas0nw0ng:
As someone that possess an HD2, I would like to point out a few things with the comments you just made.

-Full HD2@Android is daily usable and some of you did it already. The main issues are fixable choosing the best loader-kernel-build combo. Battery draining with some fixes reachs DHD's duration.

True

-Someone can't get rid of some issues (crash, freeze, minor bugs) and swear that they tried all the main build with no results, making the HD2@android experience not good enough for a daily use.

Not necessarily, minor bugs and freezes are MINOR so that should not make it not good enough for daily use

-HD2@Android is as fast as any other snapdragon native android device.

Clearly false, G2, desire HD, desire Z are faster devices as they have better CPUs. Also a tweaked EVO running cyanogenmod is faster than an HD2 running cyanogenmod.

-HD2@Android got the best value for $, better than any other native android device.

It matters where you live. In Southern California, I can get a new g2 for around $250-$300 on craigslist, while an HD2 goes for $250 on craigslist. If you search and are patient you can get good phones.

Remember, we are posting in an HD2 subforum; you're going to find some of the most biased people here. Just because hd2 owners can run android and score 2000+ quadrant score does not mean it is more stable/better than a native android device. Native android phones mostly run android better than the HD2.

WHOAH. I spoke too soon. I just put SuperRAM 1.5 on my HD2 and man. No data drops... fast... WHOAH.

Frankenstein Phone is running like a champ!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kptnznty:
Well, perhaps I'm one of those foolish that bought HTC HD2 just to run Android.

My (WM) ROM is VBN RC3, just because I don't use WM at all. It comes with EBL2.0, so I almost don't notice WM, just when upgrading, changing,... my build.

Last summer I began to consider HTC HD2 as a good replacement for my Nokia5800.

Then came the first news about DHD, and I was considering to wait a bit. But I had an offer that expired in October and DHD was provided in November.

I compared HTC HD2 with GalaxyS, but this last is so iPhone-like, and I find sense GUI so usable and nice, that I decided to go for HTC HD2 with Android.

I'm not sure the rate of lags (lags per hour) that a DHD would have. My HTC HD2 just show some lags when installing and downloading apps while changing from desktops.

I swear you, my Nokia5800 had a lag rate much bigger, with native OS. And sometimes my PC with Ubuntu, and how to say about W-Vista.

Quadrant perhaps is a good way of comparing, if it reproduces some typical operations in the daily use (data sync., downloading, desktop managing, and so on).

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmmmmm:
Hogwash! I use my HD2 every day with android and do not use Wm anymore ever. I get great battery life as well. And I have tried only three of three ROMs available here. Each one was better than the last.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LordKrossfire:
I own an LG Optimus P500. The version I bought was a neverlocked version (or so I've been told). The original application pack included, among others : Layar,

CarHome , LG App Advisor, Back-up Utility.

After updating to the latest avaialable version (the one that brings the Android version to 2.2.1), Layar, CarHome, App Advisor and others disappeared. Further more, the SIM Toolkit App (the one that lists the available services) has been renamed to Vodafone, although Orange is my wireless provider and the phone didn't show any sign of previous Vodafone branding.

Could it be because the update was destined to a wider array of devices (including Vodafone branded ones that never really had Layar &the rest of the apps).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LordKrossfire:
Nothing on the subject :) ?

Not that it matters, I was simply wondering.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] LordKrossfire:
I've filed a small complaint mail to LG with my problem. Quite surprinsgly, they called me on the spot and explained to me the next:

-Eastern Europe (Romania in particular) versions are meant to be sold with Vodafone only. The firmware updates for this area are destined for Vodafone locked phones and are developed with Vodafone's input.

-The disappeared apps were seen as ''previously installed''.

-The Vodafone name for the SIM Toolkit stems from the same source.

Hi everyone .. I'm having issues tethering with my a70it through a rooted HTC Dream (G1) with Cyanogen 6.1

I have installed Wireless Tether for root users, and it works fine over wifi with my laptop, but my a70it doesn't see it using wifi, and its a bloody batery sucker.

So I've tried using BT. I change Wireless Tether to use BT, pair de archos and then in options I see the phone ready for tethering. I set it up and when I click on "Tether" I've found two different problems.

Sometimes it just stays "connecting" for a while then says it's impossible to connect, and sometime it connects, I can browse using navigator for some seconds, but then, without doing anything I get network error and I can't use internet anymore... though it stays connected (the little phone in the a70 taskbar keeps showing).

Anyone had this kind of problems? Is there any workaround to make it work?

Thanks!

hi all and Merry Christmas. I was trying to flash P1000XXJMD. everything seems to work fine, until reboot. after restarting and dial *#1234# I seen the CSC and Modem is missing and I reboot I reflash and reboot in recovery mode in order to finish installation of CSC (as usually use to do) after all is automatically rebooting in recovery mode. every-time i tried to reboot it goes in recovery .....how to fix this? thanks in advance !

[Galaxy Tab General] ovigt71:
i have already done that, but still the same.....i was trying to go bac to JMC or JMD and I'm facing with the same problem (stuck in loop recovery). If I don't restart in recovery manually, to finalize the installation of CSC, and I do restart after flashing of JMD it will work but nu CSC and no PDA (*#1234#)
[Galaxy Tab General] ovigt71:
after rebooting in recovery mode, I got this message:

--Appling Muti-CSC...

INstalling Muti CSC

multicsc : src /system/csc/KOR/system/ .

can someone help me?

I reflash more than 10 times and same result. even if i tried to go back to JMC or JMA, it doesn't help me..... also I tried to flash DbData .....but it not help....
[Galaxy Tab General] ownhd2:
What firmware you on at the mo as i heard on here that you cant downgrade as some firmware change the bootloader
[Galaxy Tab General] paulshields:
May be worth just flashing the cache.rfs file when in Download mode using heimdall or Odin. That will push the file onto the device, reboot it into recovery mode and then flash the csc files. Looks like it's getting stuck on that part? See this post for more info.
[Galaxy Tab General] ovigt71:
i bypass the finalizing of CSC via recovery, and my TAB starting...but with this result ....hm i'm wondering why, because I was supposed to update from JMC to JMD ....so what I got? JMA? hm....can be fixed?

Yeah you need to update to JMD

first link seems to be broken...is same thing to the second one?
[Galaxy Tab General] ovigt71:
problem solved! for other users whom will face the same problem I will explain my solution: In order to flash the JMD over JMC or JMA you should use P1.PITfile from here (check in the bottom of the page the download link), then open Odin 1.7, select Re-partition and add PIT file (P1_add_hidden.pit), then add to PDA the JMD file, then click on START. After finish installation it will restart in Download mode again; Switch off the restart in Recovery Mode. It will finalize the installation of CSC and PDA. look at my results !

1. When on the solid X, try pressing the power button while holding down the trackball and volume down key. A screen with 3 androids on skates should come up.

2. Wait on this screen for 5 seconds until the RECOVERY option shows up in the list.

3. Use the Volume Down key to scroll down to RECOVERY.

4. Once RECOVERY option is selected, press the Power button to boot into recovery

Are you using Apps2SD with your custom ROM by any chance?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meechto:
If you can enter the boot loader and fastboot mode, then try clearing the storage by choosing the CLEAR STORAGE option on that screen. Beware however, this will be as good as resetting your phone and will wipe all data - I mean contacts, SMSs ... everything. Then select REBOOT on that same screen to reboot your phone. Hope this helps :)

Also, if you haven't installed a radio or HBOOT incorrectly yesterday before switching off your phone, then the possibility of it having bricked is quite low.

Hello

before i had original branded firmare that allow me to remove originals apn.

After i flashed with original 10c and then with AmberHome V1.1,

those firmwares not allow me to edit or delete standard apn.

I edited /system/etc/apn-conf.xml so

- <!-- use empty string to specify no proxy or port
-->
- <apns version="6">
<apn carrier="WIND Internet" mcc="222" mnc="88" apn="internet.wind" type="default,supl" />
</apns>

then wiped phone, but when i try to flash phone with apn-conf.xml modified, i have error:

E:Wrong digest:
/system/etc/apn-conf.xml

Can i remove unwanted apn?
