News: Is htc iolite... = htc touch find????? If so i upgraded the rom of a iolite !!!

Hello everybody...
I live in Italy and a little ago one of the greatest Italian telephone company called "TIM" was selling the HTC TOUCH FIND branded TIM that was almost equal (in terms of hardware) to the HTC TOUCH CRUISE (POLARIS or P3650).
A simple question:
Is this "IOLITE" the same phone of the TOUCH FIND?
I mean it looks identical from the pictures...and if so... the good news for you having the Iolite is that
...I used SPL OLIPRO v2.0 to unlock it and the 3LIT3 Rom to upgrade it and they worked very well without any problem!!
Goodbye to everybody

HTC Touch Find = Iolite
It´s right, the same device, you can read this here.
Greetings Mirko
edit: Was read not right, it is not the same device. Sorry for my bad italian ;-)

Nope
Nope, it's just a Polaris with rounded edges. Qualcomm MSM7200 with 400MHz CPU vs Iolite's 528MHz MSM7225, RAM/ROM 128/256MB vs Iolite's 256/512. Buttons on sides, front camera - definetely a Polaris.
Sweat styling though, we've inherited it's concept I guess.

all devices called Magician

Well for noobs like me here's an eye opener:

Qtek s100 and s110 are both Magicians (among other models) and I always thought that Charmer is actually Qtek s110 !
So that's that for me, I'm buying s110 tomorrow, and hope to play good games and watch videos on it...
If anyone has some advice please share NOW ...
Cheers

s100 - HTC Magician with 64 RAM
s110 - HTC Magician Refresh with 128 RAM

Thanks!!!
Do you think that I'm doing the right thhing buying s110? Will it be fast enough for games and videos?
And is it significantly better to have 128 ram?

o yeah and s100 is 115e, s110 125e. Which to chose? And would it be better to buy toshiba g810 for 210e or g910 also 210e?
pls hlp with my big dillema...

anyone? pls? and toshibas 270e...
thanks

don't buy toshiba...

buy s110 125e

hvala brate Jovane!!! El mislis da je znacajno bolji od 100?
thanks Cotula!!!

I don't think they can't. They just want us to buy some wildfires

not gonna happen
I bought my tattoo less than 3 months ago and it's great! But since many people like me bought it when the people from frandroid leaked false info for an upcoming update htc should have decided to do it out of good will and marketing. Yet again even an up-to-date htc hero rom hasnt been released yet. Next htc prodct should be htc no update ir htc next quartee, etc.
*edit I guess they pushed a hero firmware upgrade after all

absolutely

That's never gonna happen that I'll be buying another HTC product! Don't get me wrong: I loved my Tattoo, but even the best phone is useless without software support...
P.S.: And I bet my ass that they never did a research at all...there was never Tattoo software support by HTC (and after 2.2 the Wildfire will also "die")!

Have you tried kiljacken's 2.1 ROM with Sense UI? Tattoo really can't manage it... It runs way to slowly and unreliably.
That's why my next phone will be a virgin android, no sense, motoblur or whatever junk.
But if they really loved us they would release a kernel or basic 2.x ROM with camera support and no Sense junk and let us cannibalize it... but that'll never happen

HTC is maybe not supporting its customers, but they are no idiots to release a 2.x code for Tattoo

this reponse of HTC is weired, it seems that they not talk about TATTOO, they talk generality... yesterday a receive a response of HTC that they don´t upgrade our phone to Android 2.1. i think this is a lie, for my sorry

I just wonder: what is in this 2.1 software that you want so much? You want your phone to run slower and drain battery faster? Donut is not so bad. I use it on my G1 after a bunch of Eclair ROMs and really like it. I'm even thinking of staying on 1.6.

Ditto. HTC make good products, that can fall off beds and not smash unlike *cough*iPhones*cough* that just explode for no apparent reason. When it comes to support, it's like pulling your teeth out with a rusty pair of pliers. Very painful process and they end up tossing you into a creek without a paddle.

next,i want to buy other phone except HTC.

I used one of the 2.1 ROM's from here, and it didn't drain the battery has fast as the stock 1.6 ROM. It was definitely faster and used lesser battery. So battery usage is not ROM specific, but manufacturer specific. If the manufacturer writes a ****ty code or makes too many apps run at the same time, it drains more battery.
Frankly, I don't want to buy another phone from HTC. I'll probably buy a Moto Droid next, though I don't like Moto phones.

hi
Moving this to General

Not official
A few thoughts on this.
First the thread title, this is not official. This is the main problem, HTC are bad at communicating with their customers (unless they are telling you what new product they have launched or what award they have won). Their 'technical support' are the front-line culprits. Their answers are very inconsistent, and a lot of the answers are guesses based on the internal rumour mill. The big rumour internet surge in March ("HTC confirm Tattoo getting 2.1) was due to the publication of a response from HTC technical support. Their head office marketing teams should be stopping this.
Secondly, I bought my Tattoo last year. At the time, i was an Android noob and was told by Vodafone that one of the great things is that Android would be constantly evolving. I personally didn't expect this to be forever, just not never. I contacted HTC support before purchase and was told it would be updated shortly. I also read a press release from HTC saying that Hero and Tattoo would be updated 2010Q1.
I'm relatively happy with my Tattoo. I'm relatively happy with 1.6 (but might not be in a year when no apps will run on it -- hoping this won't be the situation!). The only thing that does annoy me with it is the lack of Autofocus (again the spec claiming Autofocus was all over the web last December -- but wrong).
What will stop me buying another HTC though is this lack of communication (or poor commuication). This century companies need to have a dialogue with their customers and be open in their communications. HTC have not done this, and so although I think their products are good enough, their company isn't.

Im with Brandmarket.

[Q] Used HTC HD2

Hi all,
Im kind of new here (although I have read some threads following the development of Android HD2 Roms).
A friend of mine has a HTC HD2 which he wants to sell. He asks € 150,-- for it. I dont want to spent to much money and think that price is fine. (is it?)
Is there any other phone which has a good price and has the Android OS + is updated (I mean by that is there frequent development on the phone and such?)
I have a Nokia N97 Mini now and im not pleased with it. It hangs a lot. Touchscreen has been replaced once (because it became unresponsive (and that after 5 months)). They also said I will see them again... soon. And yeah well its Symbian. Its not fast and sometimes I will have to remove the battery to restart it because it doesnt respond. And if I use mobile sites well it sometimes just says Web Time-out for no reason and locks up...
Im the person who always close all apps on the phone, charge it occasionally.
And too be honest in the last few month I have installed so many Android phones that I im very impressed by the phones. (and by that I mean the Android OS )
I will use the phone to call P) use my bluetooth parrot car kit and of course because of the Android OS.
So what do you think. Should (is it worth it?) I buy it for this price and flash it with an Android HD2 Rom?
(Im Dutch so if some sentences arent correct, well I tried also my apostrophe doesnt work for some reason)

the HD2 is a perfect phone for an android beginner or if you don't want to spend too much money on a phone, plus with all the dev support you'll never be bored. I say go ahead and buy it, it will blow the socks off your nokia n97 mini

for $150 it is a cheap Android device with a 4.3" screen.
Might take a little time to find best Android ROM for your requirements but with a bit of effort setting it up you should be very happy.
Only downside is battery is very poor on Android although with constant development things should improve.
If the HD2 is in great condition go for it, compared to n97mini it is amzing on any platform you load on it WM6.5/Android/WP7.

indeed its a good deal i think. the only bad thing is the battery. You will have to plug it every end of the day.
Dutch: ik zou zeggen: gewoon doen. Je hoeft je in ieder geval niet te vervelen met het toestel als je doelt op ondersteuning op xda.
De hd2 is nog steeds1 van de meest ondersteunende toestellen op xda, mede omdat het toestel bijna alles aan kan qwa besturingsystemen.
Mocht je overgaan tot de aanschaf van de hd2 zal je geen spijt krijgen.

My battery lasts 3 days, running the nexus 2.7 nand rom.
It depends entirely how the owner uses his device

I agree, great rom for battery life. I use this with juicedefender, autokiller memory, and setcpu, and I get a full day of heavy use (live wallpaper, music, heavy facebook use, and plenty of hexdefense/robot unicorn/turbo grannies gaming)

Great price if it's in good shape. Many Android ROMs run very smooth on it and you won't need to worry about closing out every app. Mine has tons of apps running in the background and still silky smooth.
If you are a heavy user just buy an extra battery or extra chargers.

To start flashin, try this dutch site www.intersyte.EU its a dutch site that focusses on hd2 flashin. The site is still in its early stages, but its quite usefull.

Great guys thanks for all the info!
I will get the phone next week and I ve already read the instructions on how to flash it to Android. OK the battery life of the N97 Mini is (that is if I dont call that much) 2 days. But if I call all the time its half a day. And those 2 days is without an active Exchange push mail, only manual because if I setup the push mail the battery will be dead in a couple of hours. I take it thats about the same as the HD2? Im frequently on the road for work so I have a micro-usb car charger of the N97 Mini and of course a normal adapter for at home (because the one im buying is just the phone nothing more)
Dutch: precies dat is eigenlijk waar ik me zorgen om maakte. De ondersteuning, maar als ik het zo lees dan zit dat wel goed. Ik had vroeger een HTC Tytn II en nu een Nokia N97 Mini dus van waar die overstap komt weet ik eigenlijk ook niet. Ik had verwacht dat ik langer met mijn batterij zou doen als ik een Nokia zou nemen maar niet is minder waar...
Just one thing does the HD2 support Micro-SDHC ? And if so what size should I get (and if it matters what brand?)? Is there any maximum supported size on the Android Roms? I recall that it was 32 GB on WM 6.5.

yeah, pretty much the same battery, a rom without htc sense should last you longer though.
yeah, the hd2 supports microSDHC, in fact it comes by default with a 16gb one, it can go up to 32gb, same as on WM 6.5

I just did the same thing
I am in the same boat. I found an HD2 on craigslist for $80, and I bought it because I had read about people flashing Android on them.
I had been watching ebay to buy one, and all the ones I saw were selling for at least $200. So, I felt like I got a great price.
So far, I have been very happy with it. I am upgrading from an HTC G1, and it is a world of difference. The screen is huge and the device is thin. It doesn't have the fold out keyboard, but I didn't use the one on my G1 much anyway. One thing I am getting used to is not having a track ball. I didn't use it much, but I must have used it more than I thought.
The flashing was more challenging than I thought. You have to have access to Windows and download the WMDC program from Microsoft. Be prepared to do a lot of reading. I tried the Kingdom ROM because it included Sense 3.0. I think that is making it somewhat buggy, but i am still learning.
One thing I learned was that there are two different HD2 variants. There is a European one with 512MB Ram, and a TMOUS one with 1042MB. As you choose your ROM keep that in mind.
Hope that helps, and I wish you luck in your endeavor. If you are interested in links and such, here is my first blog post on it (not the best, but it has some links):

HD2
Well yesterday I finally got the HD2 (for € 125,-)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
I used this Rom. I followed the clean installation and it worked perfectly. The only thing I can't seemed to find an answer to is if I change the SD card? Android is installed on the NAND but I have order a 16 GB SD card and now there is a 2 GB installed. Can I just switch these?

You can pull everything off of the old SDcard, put it on your PC, then put it onto your new card. Pop it in your phone and everything should work fine... eventually. If you have a lot of songs for example (I have 16gb of music on my 32gb card) it can take a little while for your phone to catalog it again. Mine has frozen doing this and I just pop out the battery and reboot. Eventually it will get it all.
Do you have an EXT partition? That would need copied too. I use a Linux VM for that. Not sure the best way to do it with no Linux.
