bounce or break test - HD2 General

Out at the weekend celebrating my birthday,my mate who is an Iphone user, insisted i do the "bounce or break" test. In my complete drunkness and obviously determined to show up the iphone i agreed.
I can confirm that after being thrown across an 18square meter room at considirable force, the HTC HD2 passes gloriously... sadly the Iphone did not (chuckle)
obviously i dont recomend anyone else try this as it could have ended very badly... like it did for the poor lil Iphone HAHA

oops sorry, i did mean to post this in the general section. my apologies to all

Nice to know actually Only because the iPhone didnt make it haha

Lil Wayne one fugly monkey.
It's a mytouch..
Wonder if he has rooted it?
But anyway I don't like hiphop.
The *****es and hoes these rappers are hiring are getting younger and younger everyday.
I know it's probably his daughter or little sister, but whatever
that was the reason I went out and got one, I call my hoes on it too and get my swag on. I gots da case to match ma grill.
And who ****ing cares what kind of mobile the celebreties use ?
Does it make my mobile any better ? NOPE!
Does it make it more cool to have a Magic ? Think NOT!
Did you concider that its just another publicity stunt ? Think SO!
Who are they?
Damn those fools are f*cked up.
Magic or not Im down with one of those bottles.
@ronni:
Weather you'd like to admit or not, the more people that have our phone the better for us (as Devs), and the more Celebs that are seen with our phone the more people would buy it(not all but most). Im just happy hes not holding an Apple.

Sure thing, my statement was just more like i dont really care if this fool got a magic or not
I agree that it's a good thing when when it comes to devs, and the more people the more interrest in making apps for Android. BUT: i dont like the idea about filling up the forum with crap like this so thats the reason to my negative response
haha like people going out to get sidekicks because T-mobile paid Paris Hilton to be seen with one.
I can sure come up with more than 20 better reasons to get an Android mobile than Lil Whine using one
in real life they all use blackberrys

The Truth about the Nexus One. *NON-BIASED*

Now that I have sold my Nexus One. i was very sad immediantly just because the phone was sexy as hell and amazing speed. The college i got accepted to sends all incoming freshmen a iphone 3gs and are required to use it to keep in contact with professors.
Now that thats said i want to continue with whats the truth about the nexus.
1) i had a problem with the headphones along with alot of other people when listening to music threw your headphones that came with the nexus you would get a shock... for me it mostly happend when i was plugged into a computer
2) DUST...omg the dust i got under the corner of the screen was annoying the crap out of me. i couldnt get it sent back because i wanted to keep the engraving on the phone. and i didnt want to wait 2 weeks for them to send me my phone back.
3) the phones speed is AMAZING but i feel as if google hasnt completly utilized the speed and GPU yet. *if they can pull this off, things would be so much better than the iphone*
want to add other things about this phone *without being biased* ? go ahead lets see if we can get some good information in here for new android users
Yeah...
Non-biased my ass. The only thing the iPhone does better than the N1 is the app store. To say they need to work on their GPU is just a pathetic representation of a review...
I'm not even going to try wasting my time to make this a worthwhile thread. OP, you're just... Ugh..
Too LAZY to send it back and wait a couple weeks for a problem... That's YOUR fault. There's policies in place to remedy issues... *****ing isn't the appropriate remedy.
P.S. Shocking from earbuds happens with more than just the stock headphones. Go google it.
they need to fix the dust under the screen issue.
!maybe a way to upscale low res images from the interwebs so they don't look like ass on the high res display!
but honestly, i have been more then happy with my Nexus after selling my 3GS.

THe headphones that come with the N1 doesn't work well on other standard 3.5mm jacks because the pins are specifically designed for the N1. Apparently if you insert the headphones into your computer half way it should work like normal headphones.

To the OP: cool story, bro.
There was exactly no reason for the OP as he just stated a few well-known issues that people can experience with this phone. Every device has a its own set of issues and the OP will now be fortunate enough to experience the many IPhone problems.
I think we'd all be better off if this entired thread was deleted.
Wow what college do you go to?
off to college and still can't spell... 'threw'

wow didnt know there was so many haters in here lol go get a life. i posted this thread for new people to look at some issues and as to the iphone headbuds that sucks i have never even heard of that problem i havent been shocked by them for a couple of weeks so we will see if i get that problem.
i spelt threw wrong....woah! your big and bad. big deal go get a life bro. im not wrighting a english paper here dumbass its a forum thread.
that's cool that abilene christian gives out 3gs's. i guess thats how my friend got his. congrats
anyways
the dust issue didnt happen to all nexus's. heck i haven't gotten one speck under mine yet.
also hope you didnt use the stock headphones. i usually assume stock is bad.
enjoy the iphone. i personally cant wait to see what comes out of the next one.

People are growing tired of "it's okay, it's only the internet" as a justification for poor grammar and ill-written thoughts. It is also rather ironic that a person is off for higher education and is unable to use simple words correctly. Perhaps they should be handing out dictionaries and the like rather than iphones...

Let me help you with that since you'll need to know this in college:
i spelt threw wrong....woah! you're big and bad.
Your is a possessive term, where as you're is the conjugation of "you are". So in the future, make sure you check if your usage is right by replacing the term with "you are" and seeing if it makes sense to you.
Anyway dude...bro... you need to grow up and stop acting like an e-Gangsta. To be fair, nothing you posted is anything new. We've all heard it all before and so the thread is a flaming waste of space. That being said, good luck in college.
The phone has a powerful processor and an impressive amount of RAM. I dont think it uses either one nearly to its potential (at least i hope not), which is kind of cool because, although the phone is smooth and fast, the performance ought to be able to be vastly improved with software updates. I like the phone a lot but i also think its fair and justified to expect a lot more from it down the road.
If anyone that knows about hardware can confidently tell me not to expect much more from the device please post that information so that i may sell this phone. thanks
'Through' is the correct spelling. 'Threw' is the past tense of 'throw
"Yesterday, I threw a ball through a hoop."
I'm glad Jesus can afford iphone 3gs's for all students!
Jesus is a baller, lol, im still confused about this dust issue, does anyone have a picture of what this is all about? I got mine the day it launched and I have no idea what people are talking about I havent had any problems with dust and really cant see how it could get under the screen, I keep mine in my pocket every day so Im sure it woulda happened by now if it could. Id also have to agree that the only thing the iphone has is the app store, once androids gets up there it will be a lot better because there's a lot more potential. Id already have to say that handcent, dolphin, and google voice are good examples of that because apple only lets you use their stuff and blocks something if they already have an option is pretty wacksauce in my opinion, why not let the people choose which they like the best, makes no sense to me. Oh well. /rant

iPhone 4 camera suffers from the 'splodge'.

I thought it would be interesting to share that it seems like the iPhone 4 suffers also from a far from perfect camera, in this video it appears to have a nasty blue hue in the center of the video.
This isn't intended as an iPhone 4 bashing thread, so please don't waffle on about how you hate the iPhone, it was just an interesting observation I thought I'd share.
There's also a problem with the antenna in the new iPhone.
Let's face it: there is just no perfect phone! ;-)
I am sure that there are plenty of forums for iPhone users to discuss the faults of their phone - so I think that is where this thread should be.
I will show no schadenfreude at the iPhone's problems. As much as I don't like the total control of Apple, they did revolutionise the mobile phone interface.
ugh! Pee stains. I guess someone left a surprise from foxconn. =P

I do think it's a 'sign of the times' companies are just 'pushing the envelope' instead of evolving exsisting technology to perform more efficiently. It does make for very interesting tech though .

This is just brilliant, Steve Jobs, I salute you!
I've been hearing about the problems with the signal for the last couple of days.
It would appear that Apple are not satisfied with just telling Developers what and how to develope apps for their phone but now they feel the need to tell the end customer how to use the phone as well lol.
A more appropriate name for the iPhone 4 would have been 'iCommunist 4' lol.
On a side note, if the drop in signal is caused by the users hand conductivity, I would suggest just coating the effected area of the phone in a clear lacquer and this should resolve the issue.

Omg, that is simply amazing! Steve even tells you how to hold the phone correctly, "Just avoid holding it in that way." ROFL!
What gets me is how review after review continue to rave how great the new iphone is without a whisker of a thought as to the negatives.
Its time that reviewers got of their high horse and thoroughly reviewed the iphone worts and all.
But wait....its steve jobs baby so any negative would see a defamation case against reviewer...
Not to bash iphone or anything but did you guys hear the crap with that photons thing on the camera technology in new iphone..
The apple fans would have been salivating big time with that hoopla from jobs...
but wait.....
Jobs now wants iphone 4 users to hold their gem in a unique aficionado way...what next?
Simplest solution of mine: DO NOT OWN IT, SO WON'T TOUCH IT AT ALL.
Now, HTC, when will you guys release the GSM version of the Evo 4G, quick!

You do realize this is a HD2 forum, right? And what does this have to do with the HD2? And you say you don't want to hear about people hating the iphone, yet you post this in a WinMo phones forum, where most people probably either hate the iphone or don't care.
It's a bit silly to hate a phone isn't it?

Got an officemate who was showing off his "upgraded" 3GS with multitasking. Just told them I already had that about 10 yrs ago with my Orang Tanager Windows Mobile. He wasn't even sure if he could close the running apps or just hide it.
My gf walked past the Apple store in Milton Keynes yesterday.
They had barriers outside to cope with 70-80 people.
There was 1 person in the queue!
The shop was open and had only about 10 people inside (including staff) but like an unpopular nightclub, they were forcing people to wait outside in a failed attempt to look like they were busy
What a bargain...

Forum demographics (male or female)

I must be wrong, but every time I see someone in this forum, I assume he is a guy. I must be wrong. Are there any girls here?
(sorry for the trivial question, but I just think it can't be true).
everyone knows there are no girls on the internet, sheesh.
ha ha ha ha. they don't care about their cell phones like us.
Not as many girls on this one as some of the other android forums but yes there are a few of us .... I'm mainly on SprintUsers.com but most links refer to here so decided to see what I can do over here.
Girl? What is this, Girl-thing, that you speak of? I'm intrigued...
LOL
LoL. I have had to explain at least 3 times to my girlfriend why she doesn't want to get the purple LG phone with flowers on it and the $70 unlimited data plan.
She is a pHD.
I don't foresee her joining this forum in the near future.
my girl couldnt even use the evo touchscreen. she just kept hitting it with her nails or something awkward *facepalm*
back to the razr she goes.
i once saw a girl on a linux forum and she schooled everyone.. it was one of the hottest things ive ever seen.. but at xda, i dont think so.. plus its probably better that i dont find out cause then i would only come to xda to answer her questions as soon as i found out cause even if she is butt ugly i can find the inner beauty in a tech gurl.. gawd, tech gurls are such a turn on
let me know if u need anything sasha

I've been checking out XDA since way back when I first got my FUZE. So much great info here. I rooted my FUZE and was very happy with the results. Now I'm enjoying the EVO. It's nice to see that there's at least 1 other girl on here! LOL.
My gf has a Evo too (She switched from a iPhone) and she is in love with Android and loves having her phone as she says "hacked" but we know as rooted. She doesn't know about XDA though, I just install the cool stuff for her
(Didn't like my post and regretted it...but had to wait till now to delete)

sweetheart, comments like this is why so many girls have not posted. BTW, putting a HaHa on the end of a sentence still does not make it funny.
There are some woman here. Not sure how many though. My wife has my old hero and is eying my evo for when I grab the next best thing in a few months.
my grandma jus got an EVO she rooted it all her self......maybe i should bring her to this thread and to u guys dont u guys think so...........
j/k
I don't believe that hacking phones is a "girly" thing to do. or is it? I do wonder about some of you guys though.....
Just like you wouldn't really expect alot of girls to be drag racing. There are a few. And these girls are one of a kind.
I don't mean to stereo-type any women here....but it has been my seeing that most women prefer more of a girly like life sytle.... very rarely have I ever met a women who care about how fast a phone is.. how many gigahertz it has, how much RAM or the difference in kernels or software let alone all the technical b.s. we throw in between. But it is nice to see them around. For example... I serve the country in uniform, and while yes they are here in uniform. They don't much care for technical details of there job. They just show up and do what is asked of them. Nothing more. And again while most are wrapped up with clubs and fashion and what have you there is a small handful of them that do surprise us.... glad to see at least there are surprises here.

I had a go on iphone 4 yesterday lol

This thread is a bit of a waste really but i just thought i would share my opinion !
well my sister came around yesterday and started flashing her new ipony4 about, so i grabbed it and had a play and at first glance I liked it over the old 3gs, the screen res for a smaller screen than my hd2 was impressive but then my sister start telling them all the problems she is having with it in the last 2 weeks oh how i laughed !!! ha ha
but getting back to me playign about with it it wasnt even 5mins later i was borrrrrred to death with it !!!!!!
I cannot work out for the life of me what the big fashionation is with the iphone! I think its like marmite, you either love it or hate it and I Hate it!!!!
Same with me.
Work colleague got it recently and must admit screen does look impressive, much better clarity than older models.....but that is basically it, there are no other new features that impressed me despite how much she tried to show it off
ha - also they are paying £50/month plus £15/month insurance 18m contract............and they also had to pay money towards handset...........I am not kidding! oh yeah, and she had to buy a case for it in order to use it for its most basic of functions, calling people.
They said to me, "Aren't you tempted by it?"
"Lol I pay half that for a phone I got 8 months ago which is still better in every way"
Its all down to how they have had it advertised, as with all Apple products.
There not mind blowing, just cleverly advetised.
I don't think I'd ever want to go back to a smaller sized screen. The new iPhone may have a better resolution or clearer screen or whatever, but it's still small.
I know what you all mean - once I've had my leo, I cant seem to like anything else. Besides, the HD2 has come a loonng way since it came out. With the amazing job that people here at XDA are doing, I'm now thinking this phone is 100 times better! I've just flashed my latest ROM after not having an HD2 for a few weeks and everything is so smooth like butter! If I compare my phone now with a stock HD2 it will look like I'm using different phones, it's amazing!

Hilarious, I nearly fell off my chair.
This just about wraps it up.
Like said earlier its all advertising hype. They did a fantastic job selling the "basic" 3GS model & then totally screwed up by trying to step it up a notch.
I think the way iphone's been sold is by having people convinced (without actually saying so) that apple are actually pioneers in the big/touch screens.
