[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freerider_4life:
I figured it out, I have to slide my finger really slow and it will register.

Back to my rooting question. I'm a mostly a weekend tweaker, not an all-out hacker. Should I consider rooting? I'm mostly content with my android, other than some browsing issues and lag from time to time. Would rooting grant me more benefit? I'm just concerned with damaging my phone as it is my only handset, so if I wreck it.. it's over until i get another phone or this one fixed.. whats your opinion gentlemen?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeMarzo:
Rooting is almost painless and has next to 0 for error factors.

You have two options. You can either a search for OneClickRoot, or you can DL the file that I've attached to the post and rename it to Update.Zip on the BASE of your internal SD card. Reboot into recovery mode. Then "Reinstall Packages".

Let me know how it goes for you
[General Questions and Answers] YUMad:
Hello everyone, this is yet another "which phone should I get" thread, so if you are sick of them please move on but I would be grateful for every input.

So up to now I have been using N900 which to me is a very good device, with a lot of room to improve of course, but lack off Nokia's support has just pissed me off. I'm a heavy google user (gmail, calendar & stuff) so android seems like a natural progression. Now, since I have N900 I'm obviously into modding and stuff I'm looking for a very similar android device. Atm that would be HTC HD2, the thing is I consider this phone just too old, I'm looking for a fairly new device, possibly not even out yet, which is sure to get a lot of love from xda and other devs. So yeah, I'm not even sure if it's possible to foretold which device will become the new HD2 in the android world, perhaps it has something to do with open hardware drivers, hope you guys have a better clue. I plan to stick with this phone for another 1,5 year and I just can't afford 2 smart phones at the same time, so I'm basically looking for the best long term investment.

Please, note that I'm from Europe, where not all devices are available or will be delayed. I can probably wait with the purchase until May. I don't have any preferences towards particular brand.

Thank you for your help,

YUMad

my guess is ull have to wait for the fist 4+" dual core htc device for all the htc folks to jump ship
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
We should wait a cycle of 2-3 yr until that super device replacement arrives, that´s the usual but anything can happen!
[General Questions and Answers] bachopin:
With the speed of phones developing these days, won't be 2-3 years. More like half a year to one year.

I don't think you could really answer this question. No one will know until the phone has been released.
[General Questions and Answers] lude219:
As of right now, there's no worthy HD2 successor yet. HTC ups their high-end phone every year (diamond 2008, blackstone 2009, HD2 2010, etc) so cross your fingers for that mythical 1.5ghz dual-core snapdragon hopefully by the end of this year...:D
[General Questions and Answers] freeridindirtbiker:
In my opinion, The HD2 is still one of the biggest power houses on the market. A 1 ghz processor. Yea there making awesome phones, but very few of them are being made with the components that are within the HD2. Correct me if I'm wrong. Its a stacked phone and you pair it with an Android ROM, and its right up there with anything else.
[General Questions and Answers] YUMad:
Oh well, guess it wasn't that hard to convince me. I'm getting HD2 and will slowly watch how the things unfold. Thanks everyone!
[General Questions and Answers] samizad:
How about a poll?

I agree that the HD2 is getting too old to buy as a new phone. I think the step change we've all been looking forward to is coming in the forms of the dual core processor phones due this year. I think it will be a choice along the lines of:

1. Motorola Atrix

2. LG Optimus 2x

3. Other Android device

4. Other WP7 device

I have been a die hard HTC fan since 2002 so I wish I could vote for Option 3 but I just can't wait so I pick Option 1.

See http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/37892/lg-optimus-2x-vs-motorola-atrix-4g
[General Questions and Answers] YUMad:
The point is you can't just look at any mobile you'd like, compare it specs to HD2 and say, all right we have a rightful successor, there are many other factors to consider. Again, I'm not a developer myself so I don't know much about the whole process but for example N900 still doesn't have a full android experience ported and that is due to closed nature of it's hardware drivers rather than hardware limitations. Also, as far as I know this forum was/is mostly about HTC handsets so I believe a HTC product will be heavly favoured.
[General Questions and Answers] Pinktank:
I just got a hd2, no box in brand new condition for 140 so I hope the development love is sustained. I will try and help with graphics.
[General Questions and Answers] freeridindirtbiker:
You really will like the HD2. I got mine for 49 bucks when my contract was up for my blackberry a couple months back. Ive loved it. So many different options to choose from and the custom ROM's just add to the mix. I just put the new NAND Android ROM on mine and it runs flawlessly. Not 1 issue soo far and it is freaking fast. No offense to Windows, but Android software is second to none. Like I said earlier, match these two things together, and you will have a powerhouse thats just as good, possibly even way better than the Droid 2 and Evo 4G. I'd recommend getting this phone...But I do recommend that you upgrade to Android. Any questions, just leave me a message. :)

hd2

there is no phone who can beat hd2 maybe the samsun galaxy s how ever we will wait for the 1.5 ghz phone but the hd2 is thé phone!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Essenar:
There's no way of knowing, because manufacturers rightfully don't release information on the hardware that would be important in identifying an "HD2 successor". What made the HD2 so amazing was the completely unlocked bootloader/NAND. Plus the hardware on it was ahead of its time. People talk about the phone as if it was a 2010 phone, not even realizing it came out in November 2009!

HTC Vision may be the 2011 version but no one knows for sure.
[General Questions and Answers] rukhi:
i personally think HD2 has a couple of years left ...

every manufacturer accidently makes a phone that amazez every one :p

For instance Motorola had mm L7 few years back it was modded till i finally bricked it :p same is the case with HD2. i mean with so many developers working on this phone i think there is more to come. As far as succesor is concerned well im no programmer but each os is processor dependant. As long as they keep recipe the same we can be looking into a new Super moddable phone :)

P.S i dont think dual core or that crap would change much, as long as we have so many choices on HD2 im still drooling over it :p
[General Questions and Answers] cyyjm:

[General Questions and Answers] Makić:
For decent replace I would go to Motorola Atrix or how I heard Milestone in Europe...
[General Questions and Answers] HectiQ:
I <3 my HD2

best phone I ever bought :D

for development/much tweaks you need an older phone :P the older the more been developped plus the HD2 has a series of great dev's

plus MIUI on HTC HD2 is so much more than iphone :P

I wanted an iphone 4 lately, some guy wanted to talk me into trading it,

then I tried and I hate that the iphone only has one button, it's not as responsive. next to that all icons are in homescreen, you can only make maps, in android you can switch between launcher or homescreen, and so on..

No newer phone at the market really makes me say 'wow' atm, but I can't deny I look every day, for u successor.

When will I make the step?

- Water and dustproof

- glass better then gorillaglas

- 4G / 5G :p

- 10 MP cam

- android

- SUPERB batterylife

- good antenna

- DLNA

- HDMI

- WIFI N

- VOICE COMMANDS IN MY LANGUAGE

I don't care who makes it but I'll get it :P

HD2 is power monster , it can do anything . no other phone can handle that much load :D
[General Questions and Answers] ketzazu:
shattered screen

Someone accidentally made my HD2 drop and shattered the screen with a sofa smashing her against the wall. I was quoted $150 US by ubreakifix to replace the screen. I can't wait to get if fixed even though the HTC One S is $200 plus $20/month for 20 months. Yes the One S sports modern specs but it is not as gorgeous as the HD2.

I borrowed my daughter's HD2 and gave her the iPhone 3GS. She was not happy. Even though she is not using a data plan.

I want a Windows Phone which hackers can tweak to run Android. But nothing less than the HTC HD2.

Windows Phone 8 is a long way.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark lord me:
Ouch that must suck but at least you had an extra HD2 around.

And on to topic of what will be the next HD2... well a phone like that isn't made it's chosen by the community
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
Likely none, Android fans are too far up android's ass to admit that android has flaws and it's the only one open enough to build on like that.
[General Questions and Answers] alpha-niner64:
I loved my HD2 so much. But the Galaxy S phones spoiled me. Now, my phones are dictated strictly by what audio chip's inside as I use my phone mainly as my music player. Back then, HD2 audio was good, but Voodoo just made everything sound better. I would love to go back to HTC as they just make it work and work well: but I hate Beats audio with a passion. Whoever thought that was a good idea up in HTC-land should be ejected into a garbage dump.

With Samsung products: there's always a problem or two somewhere. Either a wonky GPS, or the AMOLED screen is just off. But my HD2: everything just worked, and it worked well. I really hope HTC gets back into the game and drops Beats and goes for a quality audio solution. AFAIK: HTC and Motorola makes the best GPS antennas in the business: except HTC has better/quieter haptic feedback and an unlocked bootloader: I remember my Defy with nothing but headaches because of the locked bootloader.

I'm looking forward to the Galaxy S3 because of the fact it's got all the things that work alongside a Wolfson DAC. But if HTC ever comes onboard again: I'd dump Samsung in a heartbeat. Hell, less than that. I'd dump Samsung faster than the decay of a Boson particle if HTC dumps Beats Audio for Wolfson DAC. One thing that always stood out for me with the HD2 was PHYSICAL BUTTONS! Gawd, those felt great to use.
[Nook Color General] bL33d:
Are there any flashable roms? I hear clockwork can be used on nook so are there any non sd card roms? Like clean tablet only roms I don't care about reading any books.
[Nook Color General] madfatter:
not in a sense. I saw someone just put up some froyo .img files you can dd to your emmc to boot nookie froyo off of internal memory.

Also good job on not even bothering to open the developers thread and looking at the 4th post down. Much better to create garbage threads of things that have already been answered. lol
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
What is emmc? Bunch of threads with this word, but none explain what it is.
[Nook Color General] madfatter:
dont quote me here, but to my understanding its the internal memory on an android device. If i am wrong, feel free to correct me.
[Nook Color General] moesasin:
You are correct! The closest thing we have to a flashable rom is the froyo images

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=926749
[Nook Color General] JRDroid:
If i recall correctly, emmc stand for embedded multi-media card. It is the internal flash memory of any portable device that doesn't use a hard drive.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Ah, thanks.

So what is the difference between flashing to emmc and the normal way of flashing on phones etc? (Alternatively: when flashing to phones, where is that flashing to?)
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Nothing. All phones are basically emmc (yes, this is simplifying things a bit, when you deal with different types for rom, but i think simpler is better in this case)..

To those who don't mind a funny-looking cheap fix - I found that a bit of foil works on touchscreens (I ended up using the wrapper from a roll of Halls cough drops), so I basically just taped it to the inner liner of my snowboarding gloves.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanth:
Try going into Settings -> About Phone -> Battery -> Battery use

It'll show you a breakdown of what was draining the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beleedat:
I have the same problem, I have tried different roms, kernels, wiping batt stats, calibrating the batt...nothing. The only idea I have left is to get a new battery. Its frustrating because I feel like it wasn't wasn't bad before I tried flashing cm6.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
I remember digging into this issue on another phone with cm6. If I remember right the phone.apk or dialer.apk (I believe it was this one) was keeping the phone in a partial wakelock. That in turn, ate the hell out of our batteries - not everyone had the issue though so we figured it was just a matter of how different HW/SW revisions handled the ROM and/or kernels. Basically we knew what caused it but not why it was happening.

As for the cell standby all that means it that out of the entire time your phone has been booted, cell standby it the most active. If it's at 70% that doesn't mean it used 70% of your battery - just 70% of the total active time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kohr-Ah:
Mine had that issue because it kept going 3G > E > 3G > E. Soon as I turned 3G off when I wasn't needing to use it that helped a lot.

Make sure your phone isn't constantly syncing, make sure that it's only syncing at certain intervals.

Also, download JuiceDefender because this app will customize your options so that when your screen is off, your data will be turned off and will only be reactivated when you unlock your screen (plus the certain intervals that it will turn on to do some email and other syncing)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suren21:
and also make sure you have this option disabled "Flip the phone to make it silent" , from what i have read they said it will always keep the phone partial awake and yes like others said make sure your sync intervals aren't too short like checking for every 1 or 2mts for changes/updates

I find it unlikely it's not there.. You've rebooted and then looked in the Extras tab, right? That's where apps are.

If you have to run the nooter again, I suggest you wipe/factory reset, update to 1.0.1, then run the latest auto-nooter with the following instructions:

- Touch screen issue (I see that it's fixable with an .apk)

Thanks!
[Vega General] Zebwen:
The accelerometer issue has now basically been fixed (although it's not perfect). No new yet on if the new 1.08 firmware completely fixes it, but the fix you can find on Modaco resolves the majority of the issues and lets you play most if not all accelerometer games correctly.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
My Desire is bricked with black screen, HTC in big white letters and an exclamation mark in all 4 corners of the screen...my orgin thread on the details is here. The device would not boot, but on the black screen the phone connects to USB.

I've installed ADB and can get the phone to boot when connected to USB by using the ADB command 'fastboot oem boot' but there are 2 things wrong with this :-

1. HTC Sense does not start properly, instead going into a 'Force Close'/Restart loop.

2. If I unplug the phone after it has booted up, it drops straight back to the black screen with HTC in big white letters and an exclamation mark in all 4 corners of the screen again.

Given that I have a goldcard and can access the phone by ADB, I am hoping this might be the first step to a fix, but I'm a novice when it comes to ADB.

The phone is not rooted and I can't access recovery.

Does anyone know if the phone is fixable given the access levels I have?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rich

Do you have fastboot working? Otherwise you could just flash a stock rom again.

1. connect your phone true fastboot.

2. Run the RUU that matches your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
First try to reflash your recovery with rom manager or fastboot if you are S-off.

Forget rom manager since it does not boot. Have you tried manually replacing the update.zip?
