It has the same ram as the G1, so I'm thinkin this OS will be workin on our phones soon.

Magic has 512 MB RAM and 288 MB ROM, while the dream has 256 MB RAM and 192 MB ROM.
Magic and Hero are similar in memory size.

Unless you swap RAM with ROM.
lol i cannot believe this is so hard. So what is the right answer?
Comptech, these are the facts (in alphabetic order):
Dream: ROM: 256 MB; RAM: 192 MB
Hero: ROM: 512 MB; RAM: 288 MB
Magic: ROM: 512 MB; RAM: 288 MB
These specs are found on the HTC website so I think they're quite trustworthy.
Apparently there's a Taiwan version (288mb) and a regular one (192mb).
I dunno

u r right
it was a typo but i've provided a reliable source though.

Sense UI/ G1 w/Google idea
Now, you can tell me how this would not work or critique it, but I have an idea:
Basically, when an update is released for non-"with google" devices and "with google" devices get the manual update of both and change the files in the "with google" update to where it has the sense UI instead of the Google one. Does that make sense?
I'm sorry if this is really stupid as I am only 15 years old and do not understand coding all the way

REPOST
not exactly, this is more of a way to do it rather than a question
google or no google
In canada ours is 288 what they mean by google is one and non google is other is on the back of the phone if it says google its the 192 version.. in canada ours say Rogers so they were made for our carrier so we are non google phones.. hope this helps
New to forums, and sorry for digging up a new thread, but just to clarify, the carrier branded models are 192 mb of ram and the htc branded ones are 288 mb. The model names for these are PVT32A and PVT32B incase you want to look it up.
PVT32A - 288MB RAM
PVT32B - 192MB RAM (usually Google branded)
And for brands such a "Rogers" if you're unsure of what board you have then simply power down your handset and when you power on hold the Power button and "Back" button at the same time to bring up the Boot menu.
Here it will show on the top line in green "32A" or "32B" and there you are!
The VODAPHONE/T-MOBILE Branded magics have 192mb of ram
THE HTC/ROGERS branded ones have 288mb of ram
the rom is the same

htc stated that that they dont plan on sending "with google" branded htc phones the sense ui...except sprint hero

Does anyone think the 1Gb ROM is a major advantage of the TMOUSHD2 over the Euro HD2? Isnt it possible WM 7 or other future OSs will require more than 512Mb?
Also, I've seen in threads and stickies here that any Tmobile US ROM will work with Euro HD2, my question is, what if the size of the ROM is larger than 512MB? How is it possible EVERY TMOUSHD2 ROM will work in a Euro?
I really hope someone can put me right...
I know that google has said you need 1 ghz and 512 megs of ram (and a bigger screen) to run gingerbread, but do you think there is any chance a slimmed down version could make it's way to the HTC magic?
Or is the HTC magic with 2.2 froyo the most advanced we'll get until we go for another upgrade?
I mean, considering the fact that the HTC magic doesn't even have a graphics processor, it's horribly out of date and runs poorly, so an upgrade is certainly worth it.
There's no sure information what I have found on the matter, but maybe yes - but it needs a lot of work, for all the differences.
Even if the SDK derived sneak peek rom seems to work somehow, IDK if it really could be ported.
I'm satisfied with Froyo & and it's features right now.. But OFC would like to donate to those who would port. CM would be best?
I looked around other threads and couldn't find out exactly what I was looking for. I'm currently running Froyo by Laszo 5.2; probably the best Froyo ROM I used.. I was wondering if you were able to do a RAM hack on that ROM or if not, how to free up RAM. I'm currently using automatic task killer and run at about 25- 35MB of free RAM; is there any possible way to increase that? Thanks.
Hi Friends I am going to purchase a used HTC HD2 so i need your help in choosing as in which version shall i buy the old htc hd2 or the tmobile version please help. I am from India
t-mobile version is the best
T-mobile offers 1GB of NAND (which is excellent !!!) .. but you need to be careful of what radio you flash, it is easily bricked by flashing an incorrect radio
So, yes, go for the T-mobile. (but be careful)
TMOUS ..............

No doubt HD2 T-Mous .... I own HD2 WWE and T-mous ...
Buy original T-mobile I had it from last 2 years no problem. Try to get original with windows mobile 6.5 unlocked. Do not be fascinated by Android or Windows 7 in HD2 as preinstalled because you can install them yourself when you get the phone. And you never know preinstalled android or W7 might have some bugs or tweaks required. good luck. And congrats because you are about to buy the most powerful phone in the world.
Thank you very very much
Thank you Thank you Thank you I am going to get the tmobile version in a few days however anyways to check if its a genuine tmobile any signs i can look for ?
Also I really appreciate you guys making an effort to reply as this was my first post in the hd2 world, and I am going to sell a 8 months old galaxy ace for the HD2 and your reviews have just concreted my decision hence cheers HD2 here I come
Hey.. b carefull!!
I appreciate your choice to buy HTC HD2, its amazing set
But be careful, some of the HTC HD2 sets have unresolvable hardware issue, that is they get overheated followed by freeze on mild to moderate usage, they work fine until their temp rises to 36~37 C, suddenly they freeze like that nothing will work, neither hardware keys, nor screen will respond, no other way to except pull out battery, wen u ll restart phone, it will vibrate 7 times and again will freeze, only way to let phone work again is to let it cool down for 5,7 minutes
So this sort of mobile set will be handicap especially in temperate climate of India, so i recommend you that when you examine your mobile, do anything like wifi downloading, net browsing, mobile call, video playback for at least 15, 20 mins and observe if this phenomena happen, if you find so, don't purchase such mobile set
Regards
Thanks a ton

Hey thanks a ton for the effort bro but I wonder is this issue there in all the HD2's or just some because the one that I am getting is the T-mobile one and am not sure i ll get to test the fone for such a long time as it is used so if you can suggest a shorter way to test the phone or any indications i can look for it would be a great help so please advise bro
Thanks a ton

Can anyone give the reason to go for T mobile HD2 other than 1 GB Rom in it..
I am getting HD2 EU version and was just curious why not other HD2
Will 1GB Nand makes any difference in flashing or any other activities or general working of the phone as such? .. obviously 1GB>512MB so ppl will obviously go for it, but just want to know will it make any difference
Bigger ROM space is very very useful & touchscreen on TMOUS is the revision 300 type.
If you can not get TMOUS then a 512mb version will do ok ...

I am getting 512 HD2 EU version only.. Can you tell the major difference btw 1024 vs 512 HD2...
Also what is this revision 300 type.. how is it different from 512 HD2 ?
Just curious..
revision screen has better build & not same supplier as 295 solder type & plug clip connector between LCD & digi.
You will find some 512 models have later type 300 screen & you can check this in bootloader.
As for RAM you will wish you had more but it is not a big problem.
Honestly? The end user will probably not notice the difference between the two The only thing that matters is how well the previous owner has taken care of the device!
If you still have doubts then ask yourself 2 things:
1. Are you going to be cooking your own ROMs?
2. Are you going to repair the phone yourself if it breaks?
If you can answer no to those questions then the best choice for you is the phone in the best condition - simple as that!
If you want to know the differences then the US version has a different digitizer that is more easy to chance if it breaks and then of course 1024 mb of NAND memory The latter might be a tempting point to choose the TMUS over the EU version but again you have to ask yourself if you are going to use the extra memory? Dont you use your memorycard? The only thing that comes to mind for me personally is that of bad sectors The more NAND you have the more bad sectors you can have but that is a small problem only... Go for the phone that is in best condition - period!

i'm surprised no one has mentioned the RADIO differences between the EU n TMOUS models.
my understanding is that if you require using 3G data, then the EU model is more friendly/compatible to the bands/frequencies used in most regions of the globe. the bands/frequencies supported by the TMOUS for 3G r more friendly with the TMOUS network.
someone please correct me if the above factor is incorrect!

Yep, that's what I had heard as well. Plus, I have the international version and can't connect to T-Mo's 3g.
TMobile 3G Network radio frequency - HSDPA 1700 / 2100
Other International 3G Network radio frequency - HSDPA 900 / 2100
One should have problem only with upload in Tmobile 3G frequency if he/she uses international version.. Am i right here?
Also is there any possibility that NAND roms size goes above 512 MB ? in that case how the international version handles it..
Radio difference is not a big issue, TMOUS works on GSM/Edge worldwide & 3G has worked fine for me in UK/Germany/Spain/Hong Kong/Singapore/Thailand on various networks ...
Good condition HD2 is most critical issue as posted above, I bought a TMOUS as cheap here new & come with 16gb SD plus 1GB RAM is a slight plus & they have the better screen as standard & later built units also have revision mainboard.
an wwe/eu hd2 does all the job that a tmous hd2 can !!
its just the rom difference ie 512mb vs the 1024mb in tmous !!
u'll mainly need the extra rom size while flashing the sense roms !!
sense roms are usually bigger is size and u'll require an ext3/4 partition on sd card for processing the dalvik cache !!
tmous hd2 doesnt require the ext3/4 partition as the extra 512mb is available on it !!
cyanogenmod, miui, wp7, wp7.5 and other os's !! work fine on both models !!
here is a comparison of both the devices !!
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=2957&idPhone2=3228
you'll just find the difference in the extra nand memory !!
and i think ur from mumbai so device will be used in india !
in india, 2G bands :900 1800 and 3G : 2100
are the respective network frequencies !!
so both devices will have full network support !!
good luck !!
choose wisely ! !!
