Keeping my HD2 as a spare... - HD2 General

Recently had a Desire DHD on an upgrade which i'm well happy with.
But i got an issue i can't bring myself to sell my HD2, It was and is such an awesome phone that i wanna keep it as a spare...
Any tips on the best way to keep it stored am i better keeping it switched on and in use than off and in a box ?
Thanks

Since so few of us have the luxury of having an HD2 as a spare, then why donate your time and your phone as a beta tester for one of the chefs?

I'm sure he'd get more than a few takers, but I'm no chef.

according to this, battery should be discharged to ca. 40% before long time storage

Cheers for the info...

for long term storage it would probably be best to remove the battery.
and obv. keep it somewhere dry with a reasonably constant temparature.
or you can send it to me, I'll take good care of it for you

Take out the battery and put it into your fridge.

[Q] HTC Desire Z / G2 Battery

I just purchased a HTC Desire Z - Tmobile HD2 version of this phone. It came w/ out a battery. I bought a 50 dollar battery from tmobile but i found one else where that was WAY cheaper. The one i found cheaper is a 1750mah 3.7v , the one from tmobile that is OEM for the phone is a 3.7v 1300mah battery. The 1750 is thicker but fits fine.
My question is, does running a 3rd party battery (although this one is from a good brand at best buy mobile, but not oem) will it damage my phone. This phone is too nice to risk, so i thought i'd ask first.
If not im gonna return the tmobile battery.
Thanks!
Wtf? it came without battery? Have u checked with Htc or the place where u bought it if they maybe made a mistake? all phones comes with battery and i have never heard anyone that got a new phone without battery :S
Hmmm, suspect much?
I also find it hard to believe it should come without a battery. Is there a "whats included in the box" list on the side of the box?

okay, forgot to add, i bought this phone from someone who sold it because they lost the battery before even using it.
now that should clear things up....

okay, i have a friend, had a g2 - it went kaput within the first 2 days, tmobile sent him a new one, which comes without the battery. He was a tard and sent the whole phone battery and back back with the phone. so when he got the new g2 it had no back or battery, so he sold it to me and got a iphone 4.
but thanks for the useless nonsense of random posts all, i found a thread on battery that does not answer my questions but if i ask there im sure ill get a better response from them.
i guess knowing the backstory of how my phone didn't come with my phone is required to answer a technical questions, LOL.
i love you all
thanks anyways.

I'm pretty sure you can get both a new original battery and a new back for your phone through HTC... maybe on www.htcaccessorystore.com, through a HTC partner or on ebay

Sorry pal, i was just making sure you hadn't been scammed by a store as I was under the impression that it was bought brand new.
I've only used a generic/cheap battery in one of my old Nokias as a spare, it was the same spec as the original, and with a full charge lasted just as long as the original Nokia one. However the full charging capacity did start to deteriorate after 12 months or so, after 18 months I binned it. Can't complain for £7.50.
Let us know how you get on, I think a lot of people would be interested to know how much time you get out of it.
EDIt..... Check out the thread on batteries in the G2 section.

LOOK your post frustrates me....... Tell me which other phone can you change into a different operating system and sooooo many different roms on the custom winmo side and also the sd, ram, and nand i mean the possibilites are endless i agree when i first got the hd2 i think it sucks too. BUT after energy rom made it better then android on sd, then cynagen roms, ram roms now the best nand roms. There are many many mods for this phone even clockwork recovery now! F2ck even possibly wp7 soon.Dont give up you have an awesome phone if it is too hard for you go on craigslist im sure someone in your town can tell you they invented some flash and take credit not deserved and you money. Heck pm me ill take your money.

Couldn't agree with you more!
Someone close the thread, the joker is finished...
This thread might not be as stupid as it first seems. 3 Weeks after getting my HD2, it died and no matter what I did it woulnd't turn on. There was no replies to my posts for help. I found out by reading around that my radio was stuff, and it seems quite a few people had the same problem and the fix was to send the phone back to HTC. I bought my from overseas and had to send it back for repair. Luckily the phone was fixed under warranty, even though I had flashed the rom and installed HSPL on it, and couldn't reverse it to factory. If the phone wasn't fixed by HTC, I would not have purchased another HTC
3% electronic failure
now buy an iphone and hope for the best

+1 to the TouchPro 2 [Saved my root]

USB port failed on my Evo so I cannot charge it and obviously if I get a replacement it will likely have 2.3.3 pre-loaded.
Welp, I look online and realize that my Touch Pro 2 shares the same battery and everything.
Free charging dock.
So anyway, anyone that is faced with this problem, if you happen to have had a Touch Pro 2 and you love root...you have a free extra battery and battery dock charger. Cheers

Not if the replacement Evo is preloaded with 2.3.3.....which is very likely and not worth the risk when I have this solution that I like better.
Honestly, I will probably never plug my Evo in again, and that includes when root is achieved and I get my replacement.
yes, i use my sprint hero to charge my evo batteries. i have 5 or so batteries i swap back and forth with two extended and 2 or 3 stock. when i work 16 hour days i always have a few spare batteries with me. some days i'll put in 10 hours screen-on time.
I took mines to the sprint store and got a new evo on the spot, no questions asked.
Just waiting for root now...
2.3 is probably the last update the evo will see, just like the hero when it got 2.1 so if they find root it will be permanent.

Anyone in the UK want a FREE faulty HD2?

Don't get too excited, as the screen is smashed and USB port on bottom of phone is missing, but yuh never know, someone might need some parts from inside.....
like vibrate, gps unit, battery cover, back side of case etc etc etc.
Reason being, I sold my working HD2 and bought a Desire HD and am taking delivery of it tommorow...got to be done, love the HD2, but I seem to be plagued with problems with the old.....it gets warm and freezes, gps it freezes etc etc.
Gagging for an Android native phone, and used my friends Desire HD the last week and it's AWESOME.
Sooo, still got my first HD2 which has been in draw for months, screen gone etc....know I can make a small bit of cash by selling it on Ebay, but would rather donate it to someone on here, as this forum been a home to me the last 12 months or so (lol)
anyway, let me know what parts yuh want off it and they are yours
Doubt any Devs want it, but if they do, they get first choice...as without them, I woulda been stuck in Windows mobile hell!!
Anyway, cheers Devs...much appreciated for all your hard work.
cheers

ps: There is no catch, FREE parts, FREE postage.

HTC One PAKISTAN Users thread

This thread is for all Pakistan based users. Please share your buying experience, accessories info, questions and queries regarding Network Provider based services and ofcourse your experiences with this awesome device!
To start off, I bought mine (Black, 32GB version) a couple of weeks ago, coming from the N4. Got it from a retailer I've gone to before in Zamzama, Karachi,. for Rs 72k. Quite a lot to spend on a smartphone, but I got a good price for my N4 and I really wanted this Homeshopping.pk apparently now has the silver version for under 70k on their site.
There's obviously no warranty but after speaking to Brightex Pakistan (official HTC distributors apparently) they plan on launching the One with warranty by June 22nd, or so they said. Mind you, the price for that will be quite a bit higher than the non warranty version but I suppose the peace of mind is worth it for a lot of people.
After having used the phone for a couple of weeks, and going through several charge cycles, my one and only issue with this phone - namely the battery life - has pretty much been laid to rest. Getting about 3 hrs on screen time and 20-24 hrs total time on a single charge with sync on which is great for me as it gets me through my full work day. Haven't found any glaring glitches yet (thankfully!) and the experience of using this device is completely brilliant!
Have NOT rooted and gone flash crazy yet as I want to enjoy the phone as is for a while. Am just waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update to hit, hopefully soon The only 'accessory' I use right now is my own earphones with this set and they sound fantastic, much better than the included pair.
I've been looking for the MHL and OTG cables but haven't found them yet. If anyone has any info it would be appreciated.
Really curious to find out how many of us in PK have gotten this phone thus far so let us know y'all!

I'm thinking of getting the black but how is your experience with scratches and smudges? Is it really that bad? I'm coming from the black One X but I pretty much kept it in a minimal case most of the time.

Well so far I have not used a cover or case with it since I couldn't find any good quality, minimal, ones. There are no scratches yet but the back does get some fingerprints which you can wipe off. Admittedly since its new I have been careful enough with it but I do carry it in my jeans pocket. So far so good. I think if you're used to having a case on your phone this one will not disappoint you.
That said, I've noticed the camera lens picks up smudges much more than my previous phones. I use a lens cloth to wipe it down after a couple of days or when I can remember.
My other reasoning for not having a case/cover so far is that it just looks so darned nice without them

I think the issue would be one of power. A low power device like a thumb (usb) flash drive gets its power from our phones via the OTG cable but an external HDD requires more power than the phone can provide. Its suggested in the following thread/link that you can use a powered USB hub to power up the Drive and then the OTG will work with the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931990&page=2

Any of you guys who haven't registered your HTC One device with your serial numbers at http://us.htc.com/googleplay/redeem should do so now.
I am not in the USA but was able to receive and redeem the $25 Play Credit by using an alternate Google account then downloading app to phone and switching back to my regular account. Works great, so try it now if you haven't already!
