Hey guys, share with us what are the coolest things you use your HD2 for.
1. Listening to internet radio and watching tv/news
2. Checking my home webcam, no matter where I am (hamachi for connecting and VLC player for broadcasting)
3. Playing youtube videos while at a Dj gig (playing songs customers request and I don't have in my collection)
Composing my own Songs with SunVox-Tracker
I do some Tracks with SunVox.
It's very funny looking at the peoples face while I record myself singing in the train
Playing final fantasy ix on fpsece tends to blow peoples minds, but use the HD2 for everything from movies, music to comics and books, and even throw in a phone call every now and then
Yep, for me, FpseCE is the coolest thing about the phone. Everyone I show, wants an HD2 immediatly after it. Can't thank the developers enough.
Morphgear or FpseCE whilst listenting to some tunes tends to be my fav thing to do on the way to work.
Always turns some heads when I'm sat there playing Tekken 2 on my phone ... lol
The coolest thing i did was sell it on ebay because it sucked ass.
Now i have a different phone that works perfectly.

Well what do you expect when you have (clearly) been holding a pile of **** far, far to long... Iphone.
Best thing for me is by far FPSEce. I love it when i wip out Grantrismo, and the iphone users stuck with 'jellycar' just turn in shame MUHAHAHAH
I like the forums (when the fan boys arn't looking through rose coloured spectacles and actually admit the faults anyway) I also find the work interesting, along with the Android porting discussions etc.
I liked the phone, it had a lot of potential, but it just didnt perform.

Can you give some substance to your statement? I want to know why you think that is true.
I don't have HD2. I currently have a HTC Dream, Android.
I'm going to try to stay on topic
I love SportyPal, it boosted my runs, both frequency and length. Besides that I use it for e-mail, surf the web, watch youtube movies on it, and use it as a windows remote...
Lovely phone.
HD2 is great for video playback. No other phone can play normal SD AVIs without conversion (though 3 years old phone-less Palm T5 could as well). Or you can convert HD video to exact display dimensions, use mp4 format and built-in player .. and it looks just great.
Big screen is cool for maps, PDFs, manga.
But what I do with most please is using it as a torch when going to bed.

Er, sorry, but thats just not true. The Samsung i8000 and i8910 both can (along with a few other Samsung and LG handsets), the TG01 also does. I owned the i8910 before having the HD2, and actually its avi playback is much better (and looks better on the AMOLED screen), including its 720p playback.
I'm not saying the HD2 isn't a great phone, I love it and wouldn't go back to the i8910 (which is also very good in its own right), but lets stick to facts here eh?
Coolest things would be FPSece, although I really enjoy G-Remote when my laptops plugged into the television playing video/music, its hardly new but certainly ellicits a good response from people.

The coolest thing I did was to show some iPhone users that their fruity phone cannot do what my HD2 can do. The expression on their faces was priceless, money can't buy.
I want to thank all the chefs and developers here to make the HD2 really great.

Cool thread idea!
I play drums and have a studio setup in my house where I record bands and do production work. I outsource most of my drumming now, i'm not in any bands at the moment due to time constraints.
I've been playing for about 4 years
Here's my YouTube account, some drum videos as well as tracks i've done for other people - The featured video (Only the Paranoid Survive) is one i put together for a friend, we tracked everything in my studio and the drums were done in a single take.

Great Thread By The Way. We Needed This.
I've been playing guitar for about 15 years now, primarily thrash and death metal. I have a bunch of crap recorded but it's all on my crappy boss digital recorder. I am just getting into computer recording, just bought me a MacBook Pro and a cheap line6 UX2 interface, trying to ease myself into it.

nice. i rap and make rap beats, but honestly i appreciate all music. (for the most part) youll enjoy recording on a computer. ive been making music since i was 12. i built my own booth (all hardware) around age 15 i started with a windows pc and last january moved to an iMac. best move of my career (engineer and production wise.)
here is some feedback and i preface it with saying congrats either way man, just my take on the cuts
suicide - i like the beat and the flow is nice...my two cents tone down the side noise and let the beat and the lyrics take center stage. I was going to say its pretty southern and saw the ATL so made total sense (i prefer more east coast hip hop)
blah blah - kill everything but the "bell sound" and the blah blah for the beat, i think its a pretty unique
extraordinary - i like it, the vocals are being dominated by everything else

Yeah the mac is awesome. I used to be a blind apple hater before, and then once I got my ipad my views started to change. All it took was an hour of playtime with the macbook pro before I decided to buy it, and it was one of the best decisions I have made in a while. I will most likely never buy another windows machine again, at least not for personal use.
Google my screen name, links will show up. Mysoace, soundclick etc. I used acid pro usually to mix. Haven't done much lately, I stopped smoking weed and im not as motivated anymore. Weird huh?

Definitely appreciate the feedback man... As far as the critiques, those are ALL mixtape tracks so from an engineering standpoint, not much you can do with a 2 track... know what I mean lol... I'll post up some 100% original material
Appreciate the feedback tho...

Hi All,
So I just got an Xperia Play recently for a bargain price!, and Im loving it!
Just looking at it this way with Mario running on it, makes me feel good:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
By the way, I work at Nokia MEA, showed it to some employees here, and they were impressed! o_o
I got it because few years ago I thought about a similar form factor for a Mobile device, even designed one on my own...
So, as soon as the rumors were confirmed about the Play, I decided I MUST get one.
I wish they included a Dual-Core CPU in it, I know the current is enough for gaming, but more is better, specially for emulation.
Other than that, it is awesome...
Oh yeah, about the speaker sound quality, It is phenomenal!!! It is LOUD and CLEAR, I was amazed when I listened to some songs, they did a great job on the speaker.
One major let down is the built quality, I think its abit cheap, specially for this price tag.
Those were my thoughts about the Xperia Play for 2 days usage, can't wait to play on it more!
BR everyone!
Yea, tis a cool phone. Emulation is second to none on a mobile phone at the moment.
You should take the shipping screen protector off your phone. There is another screen protector fitted underneath.

I must agree with you, before the play my only non HTC smartphone was the Toshiba TG01, i hated it and swore i would never buy another non HTC device, when the play came out it thought **** it, and ive never regreted it, playing games on the play is awesome even compared to my friends SGS2, It's a shame sony decided to include such little ram though, im not too bothered about dual core CPU's to be honest, cause i think the quallcomm scorpion/adreno is a more than capable CPU/GPU combo, but i think with 750mb+ of ram the play would fly
I love my Play but I don't play nearly as many games as I thought I did, so I'm trading mine for an Atrix.
I ship it tomorrow. *sobs*
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
I love the speakers in the Play, best I've heard out of any cell phone. And I love the emulators, I love playing those old games, they really are the only ones I can keep playing over and over again. I honestly don't game a whole lot, but when I do, I absolutely love my phone. It'll be extremely hard to upgrade to a newer but keypadless phone, let me tell you.
yeah, some of the build quality isn't that great, and I really would have appreciated some more internal storage and a bump to 768MB of RAM... but even so...
I can see myself keeping this device long past the point where I have moved to another phone as my mainstay. I'll turn off the radio data, just use WiFi and play all the emulators to play my old NES, SNES, Genesis, GB/GBA, and PS1 games (I still have a couple dozen discs around as I never sold them off. I still also have dozens of cartridges around, and an old GameGear sitting around too). I certainly wouldn't mind replaying FF Tactics a couple times. Let alone Chrono Trigger and the old FFs. Maybe some Contra and such...
So this will be one of those devices that I will keep for emus and other fun long past when it is outdated otherwise.

Same here, i feel like this one WILL stay for a long time, at least until they release Xperia Play 2
;-)
I absolutly love my play yea some of the build quality is nt great but nothing else touches it or even comes close to it in terms of mobile gaming .i had to to a 3 hour train jerny so I slapped on resident evil 3 on fpse the next thing I new I was 10 mins from my destination the time flew by love the experia play
I have been noticing it has some amazing battery life to it as well. I played Chrono Trigger on it with the SNES Emulator yesterday while I was at work for about 6 hours straight, it was a dead day at work, and when I was done I still had 45% battery life left.

Gameloft alone has 17 games that support the Play controls, I'm hoping very soon the 18th game will be Order and Chaos

Wanna know the real kicker???
I sell Verizon Wireless products... Boss sold me this phone because of the higher profit margin she makes on it compared to the other devices. Got it at her cost of like $400 (since I have to provide my own phone when you have a dealer plan.)
Yeah, as you guys mentioned, the battery is damn good.
Many of my friends were impressed with it, specially gamers!! ;-)
Hes not a real techy guy he still has the LG Rumor 2 which he loves for the slide texting keyboard, then i gave him a little demo and ran shadowgun on it he was like wtf this is better graphics than my desktop computer now hes going crazy to buy a phone like this lol
Yeah .!! its cool
NOVA 2 is also cool
and what about NFS Hot Pursuit ?
believe in facts not rumors
what happened if you showed him OnLive instead?

So his computer must have less cpu and gpu performance than S2.What a pityful guy.Tell him to buy a new PC before he rushes into buying S2.He could get a good computer with the money he's going to spend on S2.
I won't even play NFS on S2 coz its graphic is really bad compared to PC version.
Anyone with a nexus 7 install the Spider-man game?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdEFNSE0iXQ..
wondering if it might be worth $7 of my $25 credit....
That is a good question.... Good news is that the game is optimized for Tegra 3, so it should hopefully work. You never know with Gameloft though.
I have it on both my iPad and my One X and can confidently say that it is a complete turd of a game. It was very obviously rushed just to capitalize on the release of the movie.

Two good rules of thumb:
Never buy a game based on a movie
Especially never go to a movie based on a game
FCs a lot on My Nexus 7 and iPad. Not worth it. I saw lots of problems with the market so i got the apk and tried it and it was complete crap

Spiderman for the consoles is different, besides the Amazing Spiderman.
Spiderman runs great on my Galaxy S3. No issues at all. Game is not all that bad. I kinda like it but after some time it feel kinda of repetitive which is true with any spiderman game. I still like the game though but 6.99 is actually a bit steep.
Not big fan of spider man games on any device.

YES! That game had me glued to my couch for days.
I totally disagree with the people who hate the game. I think it excellent. Especially the swinging mechanic. Not console quality by any stretch of the imagination but I think its a great game
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I installed it and it runs good but the game isn't worth $7 IMO
I bought it on my G-Note, and wasn't impressed. Every mission was pretty much the same. Swing around, find group of thugs, beat up group of thugs, repeat. Maybe things get a little more varied as the game progresses, but 5 or 6 missions that were pretty the same was enough for me. I didn't think it was worth the over 1gb of space it takes up.
