Hi To ALL ROM developers..
Thought I would be the first to say a big THANK YOU to all ROM developers on the hero.... To me the phones name is a sham but the real heros are those of you who have developed roms and supported us throughout are moaning etc(yep that is me too)... I have to say my experience so far on Android has been a NIGHTMARE and will not be getting another droid phone nor recommend one to the degree am getting a new(ish) WINMO with 6.5 as to me that was stable and worked properly..... BUT what has kept me holding on with droid has been the shear patience and support from the Developers.You kept me coming back and not the phone and os... So I offer a heart felt thank you to you all...
so to the developers
THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
i was in total agreeance with you... untill u started talking about getting a WinMo7 phone
Android is the future! Thanks to all the devs and those that support them

HEY never mentioned winmo 7!!!!!! mentioned the best of winmo which is 6.5 lol..
same from me. owning a phone has never been as fun as this last year.
Just wanted to thanks all developers that worked on the hd2 while i had it, i really enjoy it.
switched to samsung galaxy vibrant
got it for $100 bucks and sold the hd2 for $100 so win win
by the way ics runs wayyyyyyyyyy smoother on vibrant will recommend u to switch plus it will probably get official update. Everything works.
Guess is time for the hd2 to rest in peace.
By the way dont take it the wrong way but developers of hd2 should start migrating to other phones since hd2 hardwarely talking is dying we all know that. Your skills will be more appreciated on newer phones.
Thanks

well said bro !!
!! the most versatile phone ever made !
The Vibrant sucks. You'll be back. I'm on my third HD2.
I think HD2 can live a bit longer.
It's easy to try newer sys.
HD2 is a well designed, very powerful and functional smartphone. The only drawback now is the lack of front camera. So HD2 will live as long as people will miss his performance.
yep i had a vibrant for about 6 weeks and sold it fast
Have been HD2 user for nearly 2 years now. Been through all the good phases which the phone has to offer, WinMo 6.5 Custom ROMS in the begining then Android through SD card/Haret and then finally Android through NAND. Also gave WP7 and WP7 NODO a try too, two sepeate times, but somehow it was just unstable for me and never really worked out, so had it uninstalled and went back to Android within 2 days both the times.
It has been a great phone throughout, there was new joy each time a bug was ironed out or new dev was made for it by awesome devs here, like NAND or porting of gingerbread and more recently ICS or the solving of persisting GPS problem by tytung or the custom brightness issue just recently or the porting of new 2.6.35.x kernels by Mark & warrenb and many more I can't remember
But as all must good things come to an end, with a heavy heart I say good bye to my beloved HD2 and pack it to be shipped from my place to its lucky new owner who doesn't know even difference between android and windows btw and move on to HTC sensation..
It still is very capable phone and has atleast 1 more year of life in it, I decided to move on because the hardware buttons on my phone break quite often, had it repaired 2 times already because of same fault, only if HTC had decided to use capacitive buttons at that time
Anyway hope devs keep up the good work and we have full working ICS w/ 3.0.8 kernel on it and 720p recording soon and WP7.5 Mango without any issues for wp lovers
Many thanks to Cotulla, Tytung, NRGZ, Hastarin, Darkstone, Markinus, Marc, Warren, CM team, MIUI team and all the ROM chefs and devs I missed out (sorry I can't name each one of you)
Also HTC deserves a mention too, for creating a phone which was ahead of times with a badass 4.3 display which started the trend of big phones and their awesome Sense UI
Lastly, I would mention the awesome HD2 community we have here on XDA which keeps this phone rocking.
To HD2 the best phone ever
Decide to go for Amaze 4G over Sensation. Hopefully, it would be a worthy upgrade

hmm, you used to be indecisive but now youre not so sure
i am sure many long time owners are looking around for the next 'HD2'.
what made you decide on Sensation over Amaze 4G?
and not Samsung Galaxy S II, the screen is a lot brighter...
HD2 is amazing, tried pretty much everything on it, WM, WP, Android... Will be switching to something new once Windows Phone 8 Apollo hardware is out.
Just can't understand why you would go with HTC Sensation (Android) over Titan II or Lumia 900 (WP 7.5) though
I am pretty sure that Lumia 800-900 is the new HD2, at least for the WP users,

Sensation and Amaze are both excellent phones. However IMO Amaze is what the original sensation should have been.It has better camera(s), data speed, no death grip issue, NFC, dedicated mic for active noise cancellation. There is also more CPU and RAM on Amaze but that I think it would negate for now if you put MIUI/CM7/9 on sensation, which you can't put on Amaze right now because HTC doesn't gave it S-OFF yet . So you are stuck with Sense UI on Amaze, but i don't mind it as its an excellent software. That's why the indecisiveness, I'm going from a phone with most dev to a phone with very low dev
Galaxy SII is a better phone when compared to Amaze in physical aspects as its lighter, slimmer, better screen and bigger battery. However Amaze has better build quality and has a slightly better camera. Rest of the Hardware is same for both on TMO version. But its expensive normally coz being more popular. Its normally more than $450.
I settled for Amaze as I scored an excellent deal from eBay for 350.
So it all depends on your budget. You get mint sensation normally for 300-350, Amaze is around 400 mark while the SGSII is 450-500.

I went with the Samsung Galaxy Note. I like it a lot, but I LOVED My HD2s (4 in all- just put the last 2 together up on eBay: 1 still working great & the other for parts, and an unbeleivable difficult to part with collections of bike mounts and extra batteries et all.) I just had to, to help pay for the off-contract Note. Sad day.

I am BIG fan of HTC. Currently courting the wrong side (Samsung) and would love to go get a ONE X but the only thing keeping me from ONE X is the lack of microSD. Does anyone know whether SG3 will have microSD? It seems like the general trend is to omit it.
I just ditched Sansung GS2 SKyrocket for HD2.
Gosh I hate the battery drainage on LTE and 4g.
No matter how fast dual core cpu is and how fancy the super amoled plus looks, its all useless if you have to charge the phone every 6 hours
I am sticking with my HD2 for now. You gotta love the fact that all the devs and support that are far greater on HD2 than any other phones.
I will wait hold my 500 dollars until all those manufacturers do something about the battery on LTE and 4G.

Getting emotionally attached to a phone is weird, but i also share that same feeling
All these phone just do what they are supposed to do, the HD2 did so much more than what it was supposed to, that's what it made it so special
Still have it and works like a charm, but for next device
HTC Hurrkian 1.5 Ghz quad core
Android 4.0
Sense UI 4.0
Camera 12 mega pix
Display 4.3inch 720p

just one month ago i have bought this phone fo 130 euros with no sound that i fixed fo free thanx to my experience with electronics. Few days after that I installed android and every day after that i was testing almost every possible rom for hd2. Now I must say the only thing. This phone just rocks like hell. I didnt know that this phone can handle so much . I know that there are better phones out there if we are talking about specs but I must say that this phone is inspiration for other or new developers. It also inspired me and I am also looking forward to build my own rom for this phone even if I know there are plenty of really good roms for this phone. But I must also say that I am looking forward to buy HTC ONE X or SAMSUNG Galaxy S3 when it comes out. But anyway I WILL KEEP THIS PHONE even after its death
Sent from my Dorimanx powered HTC HD2
Ive had like 15 different roms on my sd in the last 2 months, and havent flashed magldr yet, 1 year and a half... when my contract ends is gonna be hard to chose a new phone.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
HD2 its a very good phone with a lot of developing work. But like others phones the company plan to keep up to date the newest phones and forget the older. Its a hard work to a developer build the roms and test it. I think that the equation good hardware(phone) + good developers gives the result of excelent on this phone.

just check out the nokia support froum.
but the ones that pee me off is
1. poor battery life
2. badly grounded screen so jitters on touch
3.random reboots
4.poor audio quailty through headphone jack
there is a new update pushing out now but i dont have much faith in it as the past ones just brought more bugs to the phone.
i've recently moved from hd2 to sensation xe. i really like the xe, but i'll never get rid of hd2, its the first phone i've kept after getting a new one........
I too finally moved on from my HD2 to a Galaxy S II. However, I must say as quick and enjoyable as the GSII is I still pop my sim back into my HD2 every couple of days to mess around with Windows Phone. I bought the phone when it launched on TMOUS and never thought I'd be able to run Android and Windows Phone let alone that it would be able to keep up for this long.
Hi guys, The time has now come where I finally get to upgrade my phone. This means goodbye to my beloved HTC HD2.
What may be arguebly the best phone to come out of the HTC factory really has come along way starting life on a dying/dead WM6.5 OS, then the the android development started and next thing we knew android was fully running via SD card. Then came the day where the amazing developers on this site dropped NAND boot and this is the day the HD2 Became AMAZING!!
Its been an awsome 24 months, I know ive not really posted on this site much but I have been reading and following all the hard work the amazing developers on this site have put in and I just want to take this time to say THANK YOU ALL!! without you the HD2 wouldnt have been the device it is today.
After much consideration I have decided to try something new and will be taking delivery of my Iphone 4S tomorrow. But I just have this feeling I will be back here sooner or later.
BIG RESPECT!!
Wanted to say thank you to everyone for keeping the HD2 alive!!!
600,000+ Posts is a great achievement for a 2+ year old device. Specially when the native OS is not Android.
Total posts in all sections are at 1,238,582, higher than any other device.
The HD2 is King of Smartphones, the smartest of them all!!!
Long Live the HTC HD2.
Hd 2 is not dead ! Thank you all for the hard work.
No wonder. It's THE best HTC device EVER. Couldn't think of any smartphone which lives up so long. And still brings so much fun.
our device is the best of all
more then 2 years now and still standing
amazing..... winmo 6.5 winmo7 android ICS amazing
