Hey every one,
iv bin watching the latest DEV of all the Desire HD ROMs and Z ROMs and I have started to notice a trend here so I looked back and saw that most ROMs are set to the HD2 first.
So my question is why the HD2 why is it always first, I'm thinking about getting one just for this reason that it gets all the test all the ROMs first because its gets them.
and also what makes it to easy to port it over to that device?
i think its because of his power and screen
uhm maybe because its always at the list as Top device? and alot ppl have the HD2 or make stuff for it. and when other people found something they want to bring it under the most people?
( and HD2 is still after almost 1 year an Top Device)
Cool thank you guys for the quick reply,
I was also doing a little more research and found some stuff its it also because you can just put it on your SD card, and just boot it with no effects to your phone. or do some people hard flash it to their phone?

what im saying is that`s every time a ROM gets dumped it gets ported to the HD2 before all the other ones. i would like to buy a HD2 so i could use the ROMs first.
hahaha.. i love how everyone envy the hd2 now. love it.
biggest screen beside samsung tab also powerful cpu same as the new htc devices.
the HD2 is crazy phone.
im really looking forward to getting one
Because HTC HD2 is the father of every phone
Edit: I love my HTC HD2. Thanks.
No android roms yet. All you gotta do is copy the file to your SD card and your good to go. Given you have hardspl which only takes 3 mouse clicks to install.

ok so we all know that the htc leo has alot of cool features you can use on it and alot of its qaulity is unique. but unfortunatly it has lots of problems too. i so far has gotten 4 brand new htc hd2's and they all have bugs and problems within them like restarting by itself many times and freezes. tell me what u think?
I love the phone. But I also have very few freezes and have never had the phone reset itself.
I've never had a defective phone. I think a lot of it is things we do to them.

Same here. The only time I get lockups or slow-downs are after I install certain apps.
Same here..............
Had mine since November and the only problems have been ones that Ive caused through too much tweaking.....
And a problem with T Mobiles original stock rom but that was T Mobiles fault not the HD2.......

The HD2 is a wonderful machine that gives you best performance and wonderful features.
Especially when u compares it to competitive products or the price paid.
I have HD2 , T-8585, since January and never had any freeze or self restart.
All problems I had never cased from the HD2 itself. They cased from installing soft wares which sometimes do not work properly with other soft wares. That was easily recovered with the assistance of nice guys here.
Some problems occurred from defective accessories such as croppy cheap usb-micro cable.
The HD2 is wonderful machine that can be easily converted and modified according to your needs and imagination.
Thanks for the great answers ! I think its just the T-Mobile Rom thats a complete piece of crap. Because I didnt even add anything or tweaked the first 2 phones i got and they still caused many problems within the first day no B/S. Another quick question dough, how much would it cost to buy and repair an htc hd2 LCD screen, because one of my phones screen cracked. Its not the glass outer part that broke but the inner screen.
I am agree with you all, it's a great phone fast-big screen-cool design, but....
It's worth to pay 450 euro for this phone now (AUG)?? I mean I can wait for the next generation (mabe hd3/NOV or DECEMBER) thaat will have more features like an S-AMOLED and mabe a hdmi cable, and all of that with +50 euro.
Do you know anything about new HTC phones that will be released and when, and it is worth to wait more??? Thank you!
I believe the hd2 is one of the best devices on the market. It's fast, it has wonderful features, and now it is capable of running more then one os. Even the stock winmo isn't bad if yu change the rom and don't care about downloading apps. I believe for tmo usa, the hd2 is hands down the best phone they have, other then the n1. And yes better then the samsung vibrant, which is supposed to b upgrade but doesn't even have a camera flash.my experience with samsung phones has been horrible. I don't even think froyo has been released for it. Even tho it's ported, I've been running froyo on my hd2 since late july. As for up coming phones, google htc vision aka g1 blaze. 1GHz processor, medium sized screen, slide out keyboard and android. Basically the first legit replacement for the original g1. Much better then that mediocre mytouch slide 3g. The choice is yours.personally I love my hd2, but yu might just want to wait alittle while longer.

Btw the htc vision should b coming out before the years end. Also there is a rumored hd3 coming soon that is supposed to run wimo7. Decision, decisions lol best thing about the hd2, runs winmo 6.xx, runs linux, runs android, and most likely will run winmo7(I'm sure someone will figure out how to port it) what other phone can do that! Lol decisions decisions

i think its a Great phone, i love everything about it slim design customisation element big screen but unfortunately it does have its flaws eg battery life occasional freezing to name a few plus no further windows upgrade officially it looks like a dying breed imo but without the chefs on here this handset will be resurrected with android port coming through and presumably windows 7 the futures look good
I do love the phone alot and i do think its the best phone on the market but im just highly upset with its problems. My bad luck i guess hehe . I have another question dough.
What does the red or yellow dots on the back of the phone next to the battery on the lower left mean? I got a 3 phones with red dots but 1 with a yellos dot.

all that is a reset button. First it was red, then on the newer batch, it was changed to yellow.
For me, its the best windows phone I have ever used. Although if I was thinking of buying a new phone at this stage of the year, I think I would wait till around Oct-Nov or at least i'll wai for the first release of W7 and see if it is worth the wait. But the HD2's built I think is almost perfect(virtual keys at the bottom would have made it perfect for me).
Well dasz really true ! Thanksz for all da help guysz .. Ima jusz try to find the best rom out there . I wuld like sum help on dat too if u dont mind hehe This site is very supportive and useful !! Big thumbs up
Coming from a google phone for the past 2 years and then going back to Windows I was amazed how easy it was to deal with the phone.
The issues are the same as the others freezing, lag, etc. I think its the stock ROM itself, but I wonder? Sometimes it acts like my old dash and when you have to close the tasks and use a program to clear up ram space, it annoys me.
I don't like the windows market place, in google certain programs are free, but in windows you have to pay to use features? F-that.
I awating till they perfect a andriod rom to be put in the HD2 with no issues.
The good points of the phone is that it syncs to my outlook with ease..

So does this mean that no matter what rom i put into the phone, it will always be lagging and freezing as it normally would?

I wouldnt say that since most of the roms here seem to make it run better, but Windows mobile is crap compared to Linux.
The HD2 has the same features as my Andriod phone Google maps, You Tube, Google Browser, yet run like crap on the windows mobile phone. GPS take forever to lock on and the maps just has a differnet feel to it..Youtube runs differnet and the browser is crap
Does this phone really have a 1 ghz processor? It feels like my a phone is on 450ghz at times, again maybe window mobile requires too much?
I'm going to flash a rom on the phone since I am tired of the battery drain which is annoying
I have a Nexus One that I am in the process of selling since I like the Hd2 alot more.
The Hd2 does everything I could ever ask of a smartphone and more:
- Free turn by turn GPS directions
- Emulator gaming
- Word/Excel documents
- Bluetooth keyboard support (Android cant do this at all)
- Voice recorder
- Gorgeous 4.3' monster screen
- Tethering
I haven't had any problems with my Hd2 whatsoever. If anything Android gave me more problems than Windows Mobile. The only reason you hear about Android more is it's newer and the media want's to push it as hard as they do with Apple stuff for ratings...
I'm bored with my HD2. Because its working perfectly. I guess I need a new phone with lots of problems
I love the phone. It's design is great, the screen is amazing and the hardware is beefy. What really makes the phone though is the community and chefs here at XDA. I lose count of the amount of times I have reflashed my phone. With different ROMS, experimenting and messing around. It's a great device if you like doing that. It makes you pity the iSheep followers, really..
However, my main 2 drawbacks are this: 1) The battery life is poor.. although that is understandable with the screen and hardware it's got to supply. 2) the fact that HTC have confirmed that they will not be supporting/supplying WinMo 7 for the device. However, I hold out hope that will not be a problem for the clever guys here at XDA .
Hi, i have HTC Wildfire and i can't decide whether to root my phone and use a custom rom.
It looks complicated, but its great how you can add even more customised looks to your phone, but whats the disadvantage?
I've had my phone for about 4 months. Don't want to break it tbh, i know it sounds stupid but its a bit dangerous isn't it?
Really can't make my mind up whether its best to do it or not
Any suggestions?
Thanks
anybody give me any advise? :'(
Hee,
I have my Wildifre since 7 days before it was released, that was like june 3rd of something.
I rooted my phone 3 months ago, and now I have Froyo on it, some nice add ons if you look at new buttons, lock screen and so on...
Next to that, you can download almost every app (including the ones you usually have to pay for) and install it with one reboot. You can also move almost all your apps to the SD card.
I love it, if I were you I'd root my phone right away!
Greetz
Just do it, and, you won't be coming back. Read and follow turkeys guide in the wildfire android development section and you cant go wrong.

yep it was a fake but i didn't know that until yesterday. Luckily i know someone who like to mess around with phones and take them to bits. The phone cost me around £65. hegave me £30 for it. so not to much of a bad thing, but learned a valuable lesson
anyway thanks for getting back to me

That's okay, next time ensure you buy genuine mobiles only. These Chinese ones have really shoddy build quality, I hope your mistake will help others avoid this loophole.

HTC Hero H400

So I'm trading my Nexus S for a HTC Radar, and the first thing I want to know is for HSPL, how many people suceeded?
I mean is it hard to do it perfectly and not brick it, or is it like rooting where the chances are 70% no and 30% yes.... Also wondering if there's a video that someone made for noobs on how to do it? Cause I want to use a 7.8 rom, and I also need a XAP installer so I want to do that on like day 1 or at least in the first week I have it..
I rooted my ICS tablet and my WP7 Radar.
Theyr're both the same difficulty, but there are more steps to unlocking the Radar. For my Tab, I only had to turn on developer mode or whatever it was called and run a windows program.
If you want to HSPL unlock it right when you get it, you'll need some tools.. (Y Cable, USB SD card reader, female-usb to female-usb) They totaled 5 dollars for me. Not bad.
It was not hard though. IDK about the RISK but it worked for me easily. Yes, I wanted a video tutorial at first but there just wasnt one. Most videos online are for the HD2, which is a different story.
I have WP 7.8 and it's great! Glad you're switching to WP.....
P.S. why not wait for WP8?

Mostly cause being a 16 year old kid that still doesn't have a job, I can't afford phones on release date haha.. so I thought why not start out with WP7 .. plus I'm guessing apps run on C++ which is easier than Java to me so I thought maybe I could try building my own small apps after I'm done learning everything that matters :silly:
any possible way you could make a small video? or pm me very noobish details? cause I'm really getting confused haha.. yeah I only rooted my phones with either a flasher like ODIN or cmd...

Here's the thing... WP7 apps I think can't be written in C++.... That's a Windows Phone 8 feature.
You should look at low end WP8 devices, which should still run great. Maybe look at the HTC 8 S or Lumia 8xx... I'm not sure how much they are but I'd guess a 100 dollars more than the Radar or something.....
Edit: it's pretty easy once you get started... Just get the 3 things I listed above then everything should be easy.
WP7 uses something a lot like Silverlight or C#/vb.net .... Again, I only started learning a while ago then stopped because of school.
I can't seem to find y-cables in the stores nearby.. is it ok to use a USB Hub? ..

You can try making your own. I tried it but failed... Can't you order one from Amazon? they're cheap there.
Can you send me links on what I need to get altogether? .. and how many quantities I need.. from amazon
Put more effort into this, I'm sure you could've found this.

For a keyboard like SwiftKey it is also strongly related to lookups in the language packs. If you disable them you'll probably see a speedup. However, that is not worth much since that would render the keyboard useless.
But since the language packs are stored on the SD card, what you could try is to change your card to a faster one (although I reckon proper caching should have taken care of that? but maybe... [also you could try changing the cache-size for the SD card])
