[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
I've posted in Android General here as I reckon it's those of us who have switched OSs who are getting a Second Life(TM:)) from their HD2s...

Personally, I am finding my phone experience so different from the WinMo days. At that time I was always switching ROMs, always trying to get better use from the phone/solve the glitches, but never quite getting there (altho there is/was fantastic work from the ROM devs here)

But now with Android, I find my experience is great, and glitch-free. I'm still always playing with new ROMs, but only for the excitement of new features rather than to solve annoyances. I've had my HD2 a year and I personally think I could stay with it even another 2 years.

The hardware has been (imo) perfected for the current time (4.3" screen, decent processor, nice form-factor, expandable micro-SD), and all the excitement now is in Google's OS improvements, with perhaps two new iterations of Android planned for this year. Even to the extent that I would be tempted to buy a spare HD2 for future use (as my hardware buttons may be about to give way...)

The only features that could cause me to upgrade are:

- Pico Projector (but as a novelty appealing to my geekiness than anything useful:))

- HDMI-out (which again, I think I would get use out of perhaps 4 times a year, and as a novelty the rest of the time)

- Maybe a hardware keyboard a la HD7 Pro, but only if it has Android and was as a free upgrade

But apart from that, here is to an almost perfect hardware phone, now matched by perfect and evolving software. Long live HD2!!

So how long do you think you will stay with the HD2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fruchtfliege:
well my hd2 felt down several times to the floor and has some scratches at the rubber edges now. further i have the "jitterbug" of the touchscreen since first day (is mostly handable with swype)!

so let me think about your question... i guess i will stick to my hd2 for another year! want to buy a device with a hardware keyboard after that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AGxM:
I agree with you in many ways smeddy. For me the HD2 is perfect in terms of it's size and layout (personally I do not want a hardware keyboard), the processor is snappy enough, the ability to expand the storage with an sd card is brilliant especially with a2sd+ and such like - for me I would have prefered a 1024TMOUS just for the extra space.

The only thing I can see on the horizon that may tempt me away is the Motorola Atria
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
For me, the only reason i'd upgrade is for more internal memory, say a 8/16gb device, since i'm feeling threatened by my lack of space. So i guess i'll keep my hd2 for maybe 4 months to a year.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phillipchai:
I'll probably be keeping it for another year or so till I am due for re-contract. The phone served me well and its still doing well, probably I will get an andriod tablet if I need to make video call from oversea
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] onebyside:
will use it till it stops working

this year will be the year for Motorola
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Holy Shi# that thing is sick. I seen one of the devs talk about that phone on irc. Never knew what it was.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FuRoRR:
I bought it relatively late ...Still have it for a year now without a scratch!The phone has served me well.The options between OSs,the design/yes i really like it !/the functions,the hardware,the display...It is perfect!It is now a LeoNANDroid and i like it even better!

I like how the little Apple fanboys mistake it for iPhone4,i like how the people at my provider's store look like that :eek: when they see im runnin Linux/Android.Maybe the only thing i miss is 720p recording...So basicaly i will run it till it dies,then il buy anotherone if i can^^.The best spent $400 in my life!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daemonfly:
I'll keep it until something better comes along that makes it worth upgrading. The Moto Atrix looks nice, hardware list wise, but I'll skip it due to it being Motorola. Other companies will release an equivalent or better.

Going back to a slide-out keyboard is very tempting as well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheiPhoneKiller:
Ill keep hold of mine for a bit,maybe wait for the Desire HD to come down in price,see what Htc bring at the MWC in Feb,in the mean time im happy with it :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GodsGift:
good opening post.

I love my HD2 on Android (wish it was a TMOUS though with the additional on board mem.)

NAND Android rocks and I love the hardware and (now) software on the phone.

Would just like a better camera with a real flash ... 720p recording?

So at the moment nothing on the market matches it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mr_ppp:
Late to the party but i have just ordered one, had a Blackstone up until Christmas and can't resist the tweakability and amount of OS's this thing can deliver! :D

Can see myself owning it for at least 2 years!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jeosonjt:
I have been using HD2 for little over a year. I have flashed so many roms on it; I lost count a long time ago. However, the screen started freezing right before the Android NAND boot came out. I still flashed NAND on my phone to see it works and it did but without the touch screen.

I send my phone to HTC for repair last week and it is on the way back. I am planning to keep it for at least another year. The only thing I am missing is a front camera for video chatting and the ability to go 4G. I don’t do a lot of video chatting and the 4G is only available at selected location.

I like everything about this phone! The look, the feel, everything…. I don’t have a reason to change the HD2. The support which is available for the phone out there is incredible. When I get bored with a particular style, I flash a new rom! If we get to a point where we use 4G every day, I might change to a 4G phone. Or they have to invent a phone which will make me breakfast, lunch and dinner!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mikeysm21:
HD2 is definitely a keeper.

How long do you think you will keep your HD2 ?

That's a question that can only be answered by my wife's wallet :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
The Atrix does look interesting. Thanks for he heads-up.

I think "use it until it stops working" is the most concise way of stating it :)

Johncmolyneux - from Northampon! I've followed your work so much on XDA, and never knew you were from my hometown, well from Wellingborough to be exact :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Thanks man - it's appreciated :)

I've moved about a bit, but keep ending up back in Northampton. It's a good place, as is Wellingborough. If you ever need any assistance, come round my house :p Not really ;)

BIGUP The Northants!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
The US HD2 is the best smartphone ever created...until the HD7 gets Android love. Love those softkeys of the HD7 and believe it would be a perfect upgrade to the beloved HD2. Same screen, same size, same CPU. But being able to transform our HD2 into any phone is amazing. I just came from a DesireHD ROM to a perfect Gingerbread ROM and ...just....words of delight escape me!...LOL.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phoenixtraveller:
I have a mozart and about 50 other phones/hubs/pads/devices and this is IT.

Unless something radical happens (we are approaching singularity after all) I will keep using it until it stops or until Snapdragon/next-qualcomm comes out at around 2ghz. fact is this has it ALL. I just cant wait until magldr 2.00 or whatever ver comes out and we can all actively strap from sd into nand+ram the whole range: wm6.5, wm7, ubuntu, android, miui/iphone even.

Probably another full year.

Microsoft are idiots for doing what they did with WP7 and not upgrading this - but then again - the fact they have opens doors to devs to make more and BETTER versions anyways. magldr will end up being a wp7-spl i suppose. along with ansar's work (mozart etc) - this phone has it ALL - it truly is > IT.

posted from my 4000+ quadrant-scoring HD2 (supernand darkstone build with yaffs+RAM ! hspl, magldr, clockwork, darkstone, latest radio, and RAM.)

ps: only thing 'better' would be a HD7-PRO with ALL THESE (magldr/etc) roms and features - ie: keyboard. screen etc perfect. tv/hdmi out would be good.

Augmented Reality/Android/Layar = awesome! I should make vrglasses/usb for it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvP77:
Since I bought my HD2 in July I have also owned a Nexus one (had it since launch) Epic 4G, Evo 4G, MT4G, and HD7.

The only phones I have left now are the MT4G because its the best android phone out IMO and the HD2 because its the most versatile device.

I thought about selling my HD2 and keeping the HD7 but I'm convinced that the HD2 will run WP7.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
HD7 will run Android and use softkeys. That's the main reason I keep my HD7, as a nice upgrade to the HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b00m83:
Im really amazed and pleased with this phone like never before.ive been checking out what other phones are out there(android )and none of them pleased me at all.With this i used with dark-stones android 1.5 and works perfectly.I love the fact you can change and play with it to your liking.So therefore,unless something crazy will come out, Ill stick for sure with HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvP77:
When it does, I hope it will also duel boot WP7 because its not a bad OS. Just has a few minor things that bugged me. I will buy another if it does.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvP77:
Said it yesterday and today i have WP7 running on my HD2! I love this phone!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deathknellx:
I was first in line to get the t-mobile us at my local store(HD2), I had never anticipated a phone so much. It was first in a lot of ways, screen size, processor, etc..., It is just simply the most gorgeous piece of electronic hardware I've ever seen, very elegant. I'll keep it forever and use it for a while, and play with it for a long long time. A phone with 3D would be cool, a faster processor, more ram and dare I say a larger screen would all be tempting. I'm hoping another phone will come along that will be just as customizable and versatile. Onwards and upwards...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
As long as they can keep up with the pace that Android releases upgrades that will be compativle with my phone, another year or so. Before I was dying to get rid of my HD2. I tried various ROMs the developers put out (which alot have some nice eye candy but didn't solve the issue that it was still based on WinMo and WinMo just has issues).

Now, I just have to say I'm 95% sure I'm going to keep the HD2 for another year or so. Like someone above mentioned, the lack of HDMI, the increased capabilites of the camera and some hard ware specs make me want something more powerful, but as long as it does the things I need it to do best...play music, run apps, watch shows and movies when I'm out and about, good GPS and keep me entertained, I'll be set...And now with the ability to run WP7 which I'm still not sure I'd like but may try in due time, this will be around for a long time for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
I'll just wait for the biggest and best phone release of the second half of 2012 and pick that device up. Until then the HD2 is my baby.

The only thing I really want in my HD2 is a front-facing camera.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
Careful not to say that in the WP7 forum, they'll flame you for wanting something nobody uses. I wish it had front facing camera also.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djFatKat:
Im getting 4mg Download speeds on my HD2 with radio flash and Android 2.2 Got to say loving this phone so I most likly might keep it for a year or longer see what tomorrow brings...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jeremydebora:
We all discovered the power of Google Android on our HD2. So for me it is obvious my next phone will be a native Android phone.

Although I burried WinMo and android is running native on my HD2.. Big ups to all the guys making it possible..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hi im jesus:
I've had mine for about 2 months now and love it. I will probably keep it till my contract ends with t-mobile or it it breaks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
ive had mine since end of nov 09 and my contract is due in may, ill probably end the contract and keep the phone for another year or so, i dont see the need to upgrade to anything newer, the device does me perfectly
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OrionCarl:
im due for a upgrade monday, think im gonna stick with hd2, and just sell the upgrade, desire HD is pukka, but hd2 will grow in the year to a even better phone!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackalice:
Considering I just got the phone, a fair while. But with continual development, this phone will never really feel old!
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I've tried a online radio, winamp, and another really popular app and they start buffering then stop then start then stop.

Could it be possible that it is disabled in the phone? I'm going to try different streaming stuff. Pandora works but crashes sometimes.

Scanner radio works. Huh. Could it be a port problem on the phone? Could shoutcast streaming be on a different port than other streaming media? I presume it could but I am interested in other people's thoughts. I should try wifi too. 4g is being stubborn now and doesn't want to connect when it should.

Streamfurious isn't working either. Can someone try this to confirm if it isn't working or not.

I just confirmed it at home. Streaming radio is only working on wifi. Can others see if this is the case with your phone? I might go by sprint tomorrow and see if works on the display model. I'm pissed! Yeah I can understand why that might be done but it still makes me mad.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
Plays fine on WiFi and 3G - Winamp Shoutcast
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
:(

I hope my phone isn't defective. I ruu'd it and it's still acting the same way.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
Could be just the particular feed needs a good ping or something and that's why its stuttering over 3g...

give it another night and some time, could be so many factors.
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
I've used both pandora and tunein many times in the car, never had a problem yet.

Well, besides pandora skipping every-damn-time a good song comes on. But that's happened on every phone i've ever used pandora on.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I've tried the same and many different feeds and they aren't working. Streamfurious isn't working. I can connect to wifi and it streams fine. Then I quickly turn off wifi and go to 3g and after the buffer empties out, it tries to reconnect but there's no success. I thing with 3g a channel played once for a few seconds and then stopped. After that, no other channels worked. The few seconds it was working, it sounded horribly distorted and garbled before it crapped out. I have my epic sitting on the table here next to me. I could activate it and see if it happens on that phone. I have a feeling that it will work fine on the epic...

Big sigh
[EVO Shift 4G General] MaxCarnage:
There's a thread somewhere on the forum talking about sprint and an issue with their proxy. If you zero out the proxy settings in your ##3282# menu, it fixes this problem. I did this on my new evo and it fixed the problem.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I noticed in the comments of a online radio that some evo people couldn't play mp3 streaming but aac would work. Sure as ...., aac stations are working. Interesting how some people are affected and some aren't. I'm going to try the proxy trick.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Here's the link to what I found that worked.

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/android-2-1/%28solved%29-android-2-1-streaming-apps/

As for streaming applications like Pandora and TuneWiki you'll have to disable Multimedia gateway (new feature in 2.1 rom) .It works fine after that:

phone > Dialer > ##3282# > Edit mode > Advanced > Enter "MSL" > You will see RTST Proxy, HTTPPD Proxy > modify every list > set Address with "0.0.0.0", port with '0'.

After a reboot it works! I'm so happy now! I changed something in the quote so it would point to the right menu.

rtsp proxy port 0

rtsp proxy address 0.0.0.0

http pd proxy port 0

http pd proxy address 0.0.0.0

All the way at the bottom is where they are.
[EVO Shift 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Glad you found what I was referring too; I was going to find the link again but I posted from my phone and then forgot. That is what fixed the issue for me on my EVO.

EDIT: You can call Sprint to get your MSL number. I did and just told them I needed to fix an issue and they gave it to me without any issues. Very good customer service from what I've seen so far.
[EVO Shift 4G General] DWake014:
Great find! I was having the same issue and I remembered I had to do the same thing with my Moment last year after reading this post haha

[Fascinate General] MoShiBa:
So I broke my market like a week ago and can't fix it. The only thing I haven't tried is recovering to a few weeks ago BUT I am unsure if it's safe to do because I am currently running on DJ05 with Nemesis's test 6 sv1100 voodoo kernel.

If I revert back to a time (using the red recovery screen) with dl01 and NO lagfix installed (without a broken market too) will I be okay? If it's okay to do, will DJ05 still end up being installed?

I am fairly new to this but I always try to figure things out myself before asking. However, I was unable to find difinitive answers and I am just unsure.

Any clear help in layman's terms would be greatly appreciated!!
[Fascinate General] Ahodson1985:
If you are flashing a non voodoo kernel over a voodoo one you must first disable voodoo. Do this by creating a folder or file named disable_lagfix and putting it in the voodoo folder of your sd card.

Just to be safe, reboot fully before flashing anything. It should do the voodoo female robot voice. When you get back onto your home screen run quadrant to ensure your scores are somewhere around 800. If they are still over 1000 voodoo didn't disable properly. If it's disabled you should be all clear to flash a non voodoo kernel. Just make sure if you have a dj05 modem and kernel the rom needs to be dj05 etc. good luck

Edit: just in case I didn't read your post correctly: if you are restoring an old backup of di01 you will also need to flash the stock di01 modem through odin and a di01 kernel through cwm. Hope this helps.

Ok anyway I can use htc sense widgets with launcherpro?

Sent from HTC Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Nope. Sorry

EDIT: try fancy widget if you like the clock widget from Sense, and donate for LPP and you can get some that are similar to Sense ones
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
I got the donate version (LauncherPro Plus) and used it for a week or so. To me at least, it just doesn't feel as smooth or polished as Sense. The only real benefit is the customizable dock and the rotating home screen. Some ROMs will let you remap the rosie buttons, but not to the extent of what you can do with LauncherPro. As far as the rotating home screens, the new Sense ROMs rotate. If that's what you're after check out the Desire Z ROMs over in the development section, most of them rotate. Anyways, that's my two cents, take it for what it's worth. :D
