One widget that everyone seems to recommend is Power Control Plus. I found the added functions of Plus to be unnecessary and just use the stock Android version.

More than a couple of these programs have built-in task killing features. I don't use those, as I'm not an advocate of task killing.

Appmonster I had to sideload because the current version is painful to use. I'm being charitable when I say that.

I need to go through the Market though and find more....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tkna.:
Hello forum,

I'm really unsure as to which forum I should be posting this to as you'll read in a sec, it really contains a bit of .. everything? Idk, mods feel free to move, but just be kindly aware I'm new to this forum. :)

I've been looking into the HTC HD2 for a while, when it was first released with WM 6.5, the screen sensitivity as I observed in many phone reviews was good - except the interface seemed a bit laggy, esp HTC Sense's scrolling menu bar which sits at the bottom of the screen. It always seemed to have to 'catch up' to the speed of your finger and I was quite disappointed about that. I know there's prob mods to enhance the speed of the interface, but its not what I'm concerned about now... because...

Having seen the emergence of WP7 on the HD2, I'm wondering if the 'responsiveness' of the interface has been improved? I know the screen sensitivity remains the same because its inherently a hardware limiting factor, but with the new WP7 rom, is the 'responsiveness' of the interface better?

And so I get a better understanding, can the responsiveness be compared to that of the HD7 or Mozart for example?

I've personally experimented with both the HD2 and Mozart for example, and found the Mozart (and assuming the HD7 has similar responsiveness) to be of better quality and this seems to be the general consensus in this XDA forum and on many phone review websites, although I haven't been able to find a dedicated post on this.

I know a lot of people are loyal to the HD2 for many good reasons, so I'm hoping to hear from people who have both the HD2 running WP7 and the HD7 or Mozart (I'm not entirely fussed as to which - I just need a comparison).

I'm looking into purchasing either one, and screen responsiveness is a big thing for me.

Thanks alot,

tkna.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
I'm loveing wp7 the screen is super snappy, it does hang a bit but a swipe in the opersite direction and trying again fixes it, that onlyhappens once in a blue moon though, SD cards can make it lag if its not completely compatible
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tkna.:
Thanks dazza9075,

Are you referring to WP7 on the HD2?

And by describing it as "super snappy", is that compared to the HD2 running Android/WMO 6.5/Other ??

tkna.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sponkemonke:
I found general scrolling to be top notch, better than all the other OSes out there.

Pinch to zoom is a completely different story. Often zooms more than you needed and jumps quite often.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
yeah im talking about the HD2 and WP7, from my experience, IF you get a working SD card its by far the snappiest OS i have used, i would go as far as saying than even compared to native WP7 devices it feels quicker. so yes its supper snappy compared to

android on the HD2 and WM 6.5 and in my opinion WP7 on the HD7 as well.

pinch zoom is a tad dodgy, but again, if you try pinching and it doesnt work try it the opersite direction then try again, usually that fixes it. unfortunately the hardware is slightly different to the device the ROM is ported from, we have very little hope of fixing this, but its really not much of a problem, just a slight anoyance every now and then that is usally fixed in my opinion, by swiping/pinching the opersite way after to the direction you first tried, then try it again....does that make sence?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hortz:
The scrolling is better then Android imo. It just feels faster and better.

Just watch out with the micro SD as it can lag the WP7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Sanien:
Im using the HD" with stock 2gb sd class 2 card and it just flies! I mean it really beats the andriod to death! I also compared it to a Iphone 4 and I my opinion it was noticeable faster.

Compared to my colleagues HTC Trophy... I didn't see or feel any difference in speed.

So yeah the HD 2 is much cheaper and just as fast. If you can live with the camera "bug'" then a HD2 would easily fill your needs.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anap40:
The problem with pinch and zoom is that you have to make sure both of your fingers hit the screen at exactly the same time and also leave the screen at the same time. As long as you do this pinch and zoom is very smooth - better than in android, but sometimes it is quite a pain to do this because it requiresa you to be very precise
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
I had a Mozart as a second device for almost a month to compare it with the HD2. WP7 on the HD2 is at least as good as on the Mozart in every aspect with multitouch excluded. For me personally multitouch is not a serious issue as I got the trick in the last few weeks and it works for me in 90% of the cases. Other than that the only problem is to find a fully compatible SD card :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
now thats intresting, i shall have to try that, just figured it was tne same issue that stops swiping sometimes....cheers!

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...t&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5605

EDIT:

You have to login and click UPGRADE now instead of this link now! Then choose the thunderbolt! I use firefox and it still shows these prices, but it might be because I didn't clear my cookies. I cleared my cookies in IE and it didn't show the prices I mentioned before unless you go to My Verizon home and click Upgrade phone under my Device.

I ordered it 1 year for $229

They have 2 year for $200

They were showing the full price as $449 earlier, but now it shows $600 for me

But at this time the 1 year and 2 year prices are as I stated above in firefox and IE

YOU MUST LOGIN TO SEE PRICE!

You have to login to see price!

1. Login

2. Go to My Verizon Home

3. Under my device click "Upgrade Now"

it should show the $229 or $200 price still there if you cant see it where I linked it!
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
heres a pic no bs
[Thunderbolt General] bkiminfinity:
that link shows for me $249 at 2-year and $319 for one year.....anyone else?

maybe you live in some awesome verizon discount area or had some kind of price reduction available.....
[Thunderbolt General] magnafides:
Same here, 249/319.
[Thunderbolt General] Adam B.:
I think it was a typo early this morning. I saw it at first, but didn't pull the trigger on it, now it's showing the "correct" price.
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
You have to login to see price!

1. Login

2. Go to My Verizon Home

3. Under my device click "Upgrade Now"

[Thunderbolt General] bogatyr:
I did. Chose to upgrade my phone, $249.99 2yr. Think I'll just hit up the local store instead.
[Thunderbolt General] Zenak:
I got the same deal, I was on the phone with a VZW rep and she said she didn't know why I got the price I did.... She couldn't match it from her side, so I went ahead and ordered the phone online.
[Thunderbolt General] fallingd0wn:
I was able to order through my company web portal this morning. Got it on a 1 year for $229.99. Showed up as $319 on the general public VZW page though.
[Thunderbolt General] LeoD:
The difference would probably be if your due for your NE2. purchased mine for $229 / 1 yr contract. This line WAS due for it

Btw: my price came up at $149 for a 2 yr contract. Guessing this is my last $50 from them though
[Thunderbolt General] Adam B.:
This worked for me! W00T.
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
Awesome!

It still shows in both places for me with firefox when I login, I had to do the login stuff and upgrade phone with IE
[Thunderbolt General] Nastrodamous:
it only shows this if you get a discount through a job
[Thunderbolt General] tazzpatriot:
im getting my for 50 dollars but i just looked anywayz , says 249 for 2 yrs & 319 for 1 one for me
[Thunderbolt General] zalez:
I got in for the $199 for 2 years :)
[Thunderbolt General] dale_cooper:
Do you guys think value wise its more worth it to go with the 1yr at 229 since you'd be up for another subsidized phone price in a year? My employer's vzw site has the 229 1yr active.. should I do it? Currently my order is placed with amazon for $180 shipped (no sales tax which is another 40 dollars in savings), but I have to wait till Monday to get it :)

Thoughts? Thanks!

The other thing is that after a year, I seriously doubt ulimited LTE will still be 30/month so I feel like the 1 year kinda could screw you?
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
Says my order shipped, but shows no tracking yet!
[Thunderbolt General] bkiminfinity:
i tried going through my verizon account online and selecting the upgrade option, still showed the $249 for the 2 year contract.

but then i tried my employer's portal to the verizon store online and got the $229/1 year and $199/2 year contract prices. guess for whatever reason my account isn't fully synced to show my employer's affiliation. hmmm this could be a good way to get the tbolt for cheap.....i think i'll go check one out in person at verizon and then decide.
[Thunderbolt General] dale_cooper:
Do you guys think that after 1 year when you have to sign a new contract... will you still be able to pay the $30 unlimited lte? hmmm crapshoot
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
just buy it now in case its a glitch! you can always return it unopened if you dont like it at the store.
[Thunderbolt General] LeoD:
What time did you place ur order? Still waiting to see mine go through!
[Thunderbolt General] CHANGiism:
I am not sure if they changed it or what not, but I can't see that price of $229 one year contract. I however see $274.99 one year / $244.99 two year / $599.99 no contract. That's the cheapest no contract I've seen anywhere for T-Bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] LeoD:
shipped

ok I got the same now. says order has been shipped but no tracking number
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
I think it depends on your company discount.

Mine shows the 199/229 prices. Tax and $35 activation though...
[Thunderbolt General] Rob_Storm:
I tried online and it was 249 for a 2 year. So I called them and asked to speak to someone in customer retention department. Was able to have them order it for me at 99.00!

Will be here tomorrow!

Rob Storm
[Thunderbolt General] dale_cooper:
Hmm well I couldn't cancel my amazon order since it already shipped... supposedly amazon's website now says my delivery estimate is tomorrow!!!!

At this poitn I don't think i can go to a verizon store and use my corporate pricing/discount and then return the amazon order, can I?

I'm a new vzw customer if that makes a difference.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
You certainly can. But will your corporate discount be better than the amazon one? You can always add a discount code for service for your company later regardless of where you got your phone.
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
I'd just take it like you got it, because if you are a new customer it will take awhile for your corporate discount to show up.

Keep it and dont fuss, you got it for $180 and if you are lucky enough to live in a state amazon dont tax then you save about another nearly $18-20 depending where u live.

Mine shipped today and I got my tracking number for order from verizon online!
[Thunderbolt General] Devoncoon:
I saw the $449 price at around 1:30 AM CST. I almost pulled the trigger on it then...... Wish I would have. VZW had notified me that I had an upgrade on my acct about 1 week prior to Iphone release. (No NE2, just std 2yr) The upgrade availability showed up on my account until just a few days ago. It was gone when I looked this morning. (I was not happy)

I visited the local VZW store around 9:30 AM and they confirmed...NO UPGRADE!

Called CS, no go. Called again, no go. Called my VZW Business rep. (I have a business acct.) She said she wouldnt be able to do much for me until later that day or tomorrow, but suggested I call the Bussiness service center, which I did.

15 mins later I had my upgrade available again!!!! :D

Not only did I have upgrade available, but I had NE2, which wasnt due till 8-14.

So I got an extra $50 off!

Now on to ROOT!!
[Thunderbolt General] 06ms6:
Jumped on this earlier. With a 2-year/$199 price there was no activation fee, with the 1-year/$229 price there was. I still went with the 1-year because I hardly keep my phones for even that long.

Says shipped but no tracking yet...hope I get this Saturday! My iPhone 4 was good to me but I'm ready for some Verizon lovin and I miss tinkering around with Android.
[Thunderbolt General] ddarvish:
just ordered it for 229 online as well too.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Yeah. I got my TB for $229 on a 1 year contract as well.
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
Congrats guys, now next year we wont be paying full price for a new phone.

You guys think its a glitch, its seems like its taking off 25% off the price. I have also been off contract since like sept/oct.
[Thunderbolt General] Diversion:
This is legit.. I walked into a VZW store and they gave me the phone for $229.. and i'm not even eligible for an upgrade until Sept.. Of course getting the TB now probably just pushed me back to 2 years again :/
[Thunderbolt General] Robertjm:
1 year showing $319 for me

Well, I just logged into VZW and told it to upgrade, but it's telling me it would cost me $319 for a 1 year plan. Wonder if being on a Family Plan has anything to do with the change, or it that uber deal is just off now?
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
It still works, but do you get a corporate discount from the place you work? I think you need that to get this.
[Thunderbolt General] Robertjm:
TThat wou explain it as I have a personal plan, not corporate
[Thunderbolt General] gnath9:
If you have a work email address I would check to see if you qualify under the employee discount program. I just orderd a T-Bolt for my co-worker for $169.99 on a 2yr. He was ready for upgrade and got his NE2 credit also.
[Thunderbolt General] Stevez48:
Do you happen to have that business service number, you could PM me? I am due NE2 4/16 and I am getting shafted every where I go...
[Adam General] Re-Mi:
Hello all,

At this point there are some developers that are making notion ink adam roms.

Is there one of those developers that could and want to write a howto for building adam roms, i the past i have had some smart phones, and with the help of this forum i've build my own roms for them.

That's something i liked to do, and sometimes not even to share them with the community, but just to adjust some thing i wouldn't like in a baked rom.

I think lot's of visitors of this site, would like to take a shot at it, and who knows maybe someone can bake the perfect rom.

Please keep in mind, that if you are the person who is going to write the howto, that you don't take steps for granted. What may look standard for you could be a difficult step for a starter.

I would really like a tut so i can try and build my first own rom for the adam

Kind regards,

Michel
[G2 and Desire Z General] 19Uhr30:
Hi everybody.

A few weeks ago, I finally upgraded from my rooted G1 to a stock Desire Z and I'm really happy about it. I want to wait for the announced official gingerbread by HTC and then decide wether to root or not. Performance is great so far and with no storage problem whatsoever, I don't really miss having root access for now.

I really liked the fast boot technology HTC implemented and have been using it a lot to turn off the device when having meetings and such.

Just recently, it stopped working though. Every boot takes just as long as it would have taken choosing the reboot option before.

I got an update to sense version 1.82.405.1 not long ago and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that.

Anyone experienced the same? Any tips or comments?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
You haven't inadvertently turned off the feature, have you? Its under Settings > Applications > Fast boot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] 19Uhr30:
Haha!

Actually, I was browsing the settings for anything related to my issue. Didn't find anything and never expected it to be under "applications".

My bad, and finally, I can't remember changing it. Could it be, that the standard setting of the new software version changed it to false?

Anyway, thanks four the help and not trolling at me. ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Your welcome. Be sure to click the "Thanks" button on my post!

No idea if the update affected the fastboot setting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonm:
I do not seem to have this option in my Settings/Applications menu. If I am to understand this correctly this lets you basically reboot way faster then the typical reboot command correct? I am running a G2 with Cyanogenmod 7 RC2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Terrier Hockey:
I don't see this either on a stock G2. I am wondering if it is just a Desire Z thing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
It's a Sense UI thing :rolleyes: (DZ was the first to incorporate it I believe)
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonm:
Thanks now I know why its not in CM 7 lol!
[G2 and Desire Z General] 19Uhr30:
Yep, it's very similar to having your notebook in sleep mode. I think they dump the whole memory on the phone's flash. So if you start up, it literally takes 3 seconds before you can enter your pin and are ready to go.

I like it because the only reason of not turning off the device before, was that you'd have to wait about a minute to get going again whilst having lost the webpages you had currently opened plus the state of winamp/maps/etc.

I never use the airplane mode in meetings any more. If I can't use the phone anyway, why not turn it off and save battery life?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Exactly. It was a feature introduced with the "new" Sense 2.2 UI on the Desire Z and the Desire HD.

I liked the feature when I was still on the stock DZ ROM, since I travel by air quite a bit, almost always with connecting flights. So I am constantly turning my phone on and off. Too bad CM doesn't have something similar.
[G2 and Desire Z General] YaKillaCJ:
Sure would be nice if its in Cyanogen. So many other features. I say a few of us just send a request, like start a thread over there.

Hmm works for me.

Ive just dropped my HD2 and the screen has cracked badly. Phone still works but will ne to get it fixed or replaced. I have no insurance. Im not using home insurance...

What are my options?

pay out of contract - 5 months remaining

Send to who for repair?

repair my self? where to get parts?

Any advice?

Thanks

PS - phone has been cooked with windows 7 so void of warranty.
[HD2 General] azer0:
I feel sorry for you mate, I know exactly what it feels like having gone thru it myself, just got it repaired yesterday (broke the digitizer).

If your in UK I can give you the address of the shop that fixed mine, it cost me £75 to replace the digitizer but it was well worth it, feels like a new phone again.

What's broken just the digitizer or both?

There is a thread here somewhere with a lot of information, if you want to DIY, I didn't have the guts for that, chose the easy way.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
The post above mine is right your options are find a shop that does those kinds of repairs, they are a lot of them from what I gather. I live in the US and there is shop in my local area. You can also do it yourself (DIY as the other post said) you can find the parts on Ebay, and you will need a small hex head screw driver. If you have the EU model this might require some soldering by you, it has been some conflicting reports that some have to solder the connections and some just have to plug in the ribbons. If you have the T-Mobile model then it will not require any soldering just blug the ribbons into the main board

[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
I'm gonna go fiddle around with one over my lunch break (in one hour)... here are some concerns I'm trying to have straightened out:

1) Are the icons too small because of the qHD resolution + 4" screen?

2) Are the colors washed out?

3) Is zoomed out text pixelated in the browser (PenTile screen)?

4) How bad is the Motoblur lag?

5) How smooth does flash play in the browser? (I realize it's the non-optimized-for-Tegra Flash 10.1 running)

6) And finally, is it true that Live Wallpapers make it lag?

7) Outdoor viewability?
[Atrix 4G General] zizo79:
4) download Golauncher, Launcher Pro or Hilauncher and you wont have to worry about BLur..
[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
I already have my heart set on rooting it, freezing MB, flashing Adeo ROM, and installing Go Launcher.

I'm mainly concerned about the screen, and the resolution.
[Atrix 4G General] leadguy68:
Agreed. Motoblur is not even an issue with Launcher pro installed. Some of the enhancements like the dialer are pretty nice once the junk launcher is hidden.
[Atrix 4G General] leadguy68:
