Well if you have read any of my previous post you would know that I dropped my phone and busted the screen on it. Afterwards it still worked fine so I continued to use it. Well a Few days ago the screen went black. The backlight still works but nothing showing up. After some reading I see some people are saying its the ribbon for the screen. At first I could remove my battery a couple times and it would work, but now nothing. My brothers screen works on his g1 but is stuck at the recovery tool and wont go any futher. Trying to decide if I wanna exchange his screen and cable over to mine or just dump em both off at ebay and get something else. If I do, it looks like it will have to be a iPhone since im on AT&T and I see how important warranty is now. I have tooken my brothers apart and I can tell you I do not like the design of the phones and how they were built but I do love my G1 guess its time to part ways.
Sad to see you go man, You should get another HTC phone and stay on the site! They're much more fun to play around with etc IMHO, or get a really cheap phone and wait till a new android phone comes out.
I like the iPhone (even though i've only used it a few times), but Windows Mobile/Android have more in the way of functionality, apps, and i've been an avid HTC user since I bought my first one!
I'm so excited I just ordered mine today, I also have a Cliq made my Motorola...I wouldn't advise anyone to buy one...Motorola can't even update the thing until 3 months later, it still has major issues...Can't answer calls, constantly droping calls and all that crapola Blur integrated with it..So I order my nexus today.. I feel like i just bought a Lexus....lol but I'm happy any comments on the phone? bugs? anything i should know when getting it? Because I did some research and haven't found anything crazy, seems google is keeping it updated and fixing everything it can on the spot.
Congrats, you're gonna' LOVE the phone.
I ordered mine on day one and haven't had any problems with it at all.
I installed 'Better Keyboard' because the only thing lacking, for me, on this phone was the keyboard.. although it's not THAT bad.
Over the past year I've had the Palm Pre, HTC Hero, iPhone 3Gs and the Nexus One.
The Nexus One is by FAR my favorite device.
Enjoy.
its the best phone ive ever had outta 13 devices by far.. you're gonna love it
Phone is fantastic.
Keyboard wise:
Install HTC IME (available on this forum) or Swype(also availbale on here). Both are free and far better then stock. Neither requires root or shouldnt.
So there isn't any lagging when using the nexus? Such as when you click a button it takes about 10 seconds for it to respond, or when you type fast it doesn't catch anything?
10 seconds? You gotta be kidding This monster doesn't know what lag is.
I've had my Nexus One for about a month already. I'm very very pleased.
I recommend reading this thread for tips and tricks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624033&highlight=tips+tricks
my Wifes cliq is such a piece of sh!t. U will LOVE the n1 congratz
Is it really necessary to start a whole new thread to tell us that you ordered a nexus? I know its exciting and all getting the phone but it's adds more clutter to the boards that isn't needed.

No seriously what is not needed is your remark. This is a board it thrives on the amount of posts/threads created.
wikipedia message boards/online communities and you will maybe gain some knowledge about how this kind of stuff works.
To the O.P you will love this phone. I went from iphone 3g to the g1, to palm pre, mytouch 3g to this and it is by far the best phone I have ever had the pleasure in dealing with.
Congratz on your exciting new phone...it fly's first class!
hey guys, for those who have got their new nexus one recently, can you tell me if the touchscreen of the new batch is behaving well? I had mine on the third day after it was released. it had the touchscreen problem. and now i have sent it back for a refund. however, i REALLY love this phone, and am considering ordering a new one again. so, here comes my concern.
Thanks in advance.

Yes I'll report back to you tommorrow when i get off work, I have to go pick it up from fed ex.. ...I feel like a kid that can't go to sleep because they are going to disney world....
Congrats...I took the plunge and ordered one today too.
In the UK, after import duty, import VAT and DHL's charge for the privilege of them submitting your N1 to customs (yeah they charge for that too!) the N1 costs ~£490 (~$760US) ...a little too steep for me!
I pre-ordered my HTC Desire 2 days ago from clove.co.uk for £430. Roll on April!
Guys let's give ourselves a break! Everyday we try to make our phones work better and faster. Searching for ROMS, RADIOs, Themes, ICONs, APPs and everything that is available out there and trying them out one by one. "Even soldiers at war know when to sleep.." This time let's share some interesting, funny, scary or any story that you can share. Let's talk about our stories with our HTC HD2s!
Let's try to have some fun while reading different stories between you and your beloved HTC HD2. Let's share not only good things that happened but also the bad stuffs, and maybe someone out there can learn something from your story.
So what are you waiting for? Start sharing your stories here!
I'm currently staying here in Riyadh because of work. Every once in awhile, me and my friends went out. We went to Khobar that day, it was weekend here so we have no work. About 4-5 hours travel by car just to get there, so we have a few stop overs just to go to the cr, buy some drinks and get some gas. On the mid-way of you trip, we have this stop over on a gasoline station, i went to the other car to check for our other friends there. Then we continued our trip. After more or less 20 mins, i started to noticed that i can't find my phone anywhere. I didn't let my friends know it at first because i thought i just put somewhere in my bag. But after 10 mins of looking, my heart starts to beat fast. At that time i only have my phone for 2 months i think, so i was so nervous but i didn't let my friends see it through me. Then i asked one of them to please call my number so that we would know if the phone was on the car or not. Then he said that it was ringing but we are not hearing anything inside the car. Then he said that a saudi guy answered the phone, at this point i don't know what to do and i was so scared. Then i told him that if he's just only joking it was not funny. Then he handed over to me his phone and when i said "hello.." someone replied from the other side. I was so scared that the guy who found my phone will not return it to me anymore. Then he told us that he found my phone on a gasoline station. Then he said that we will meet on the next bridge. After reaching the next bridge at a speed of 180km/hr, we called the guy again. He said that he was waiting there for 10 mins and he left already. He said that we will meet on the next bridge again. At this point im completely losing hope of seeing my phone again.
When we reached the said bridge, we called the my phone again and the guy said that he was waiting there for quite sometime and that he was on his way to Dammam. We told him to wait for us at the road going to Dammam, then he told us that he was going to a wedding and he was on a hurry. Then he said that in the evening that day he will be in Khobar for the wedding and he will return my phone there.
I didnt enjoy the rest of our trip because im still worried about my phone. Then as soon as it get's dark, we called the guy again. And he said that he was in Khobar that time and we will meet. I'm still nervous at that point, but my friends told me that the guy will return my phone.. blah blah blah.. Then the guy told us to hurry up because he will be leaving soon. So we asked him to give us 3 more mins and we will be there.
Then when we arrived at the said place, we saw the guy on a Lexus Black 2008 edition i think. The guy handed the phone to us with out any questions.
I was so thankful that my phone was returned. And imagine, i dropped the phone in a gasoline station but then when it was returned to me there are no scratches or anything, thanks to my Piel Frama leather case!
Since that day, i never let even a split second that i can't see my phone. I promised myself to take care of it very well. I treated my phone as if i was taking care of a cute puppy.
As of today im still waiting for my Otterbox Defender Case to be shipped. And im willing to give my very best for my phone!
That's all...
Thanks,
Pongskie
Great story, glad to hear you got it back. I'd be panicking loads if I thought I'd lost my hd2 and someone had taken it.
I was annoyed when someone stole my Sony Ericsson P800 back in the day.

Yeah! I think my chest was going to burst that time. That's why i'm so thankful to have it back again! Thanks for reading my story! And sorry for you Sony Ericsson P800. Hope you can post any unforgettable story about you HD2!
Mine is a bit lame, but over the past 2 weeks myself and my wife have been in hospital with our 3 week premature little girl in nursery care, during that time the HD2 was my saving grace, being able to stay on keep in touch with friends on facebook and general web browsing, take regular photos of our girl to update my wife while she was recovering from the surgery (c-section) and bub was in nursery, post online and send to family, uploading video to youtube etc. Everything is in this phone, there is not one limitation and thats what I love about it.

Since I got my HD2, my wife was on me about getting new phone and cost. all the way up until we were out and about and needed directions and needed to look up the store we were looking for. My HD2 came in like a champ. Yeah, I know I could have edone this with most phones, but for me, I like the flexability of this phone. and the size!!! I'm 6' 8'' and this phone fits me. Finally a phone that does not fill like I'm the giant in the room. BTW, I'm the normal one!!! the rest of you are muchkins!

No understanding.
When I put the kids to bed obviously I have my HD2 just in case I need to check something.... My eldest daughter has now put a sign up outside her room "no telefon" she's only 6 still learning to spell.
Obviously my wife loved that and was thinking of getting one for the bedroom.
On a sad note my HD2 has been away getting fixed for 3 weeks (been using the old touch diamond which is still good) how they all laughed when I told them it had broke. Getting it back tomorrow hopefully.
p.s.
That's not my real name, if anybody saw this thread apart from HD2 owners we're F****ed. They wouldn't understand.
On a recent camping trip to the English Lake district,the torch came in really useful
for picking my way through the guy lines to find the toilet late at night.
Also was able to take photos and upload them straight to Facebook
so family could be kept up to date,was good to be able to use the router function
as well to run my laptop from a field awesome....

I know this feeling and this problem!
I think HTC and XDA must place a warning
warning:
Using a HTC device and be active on xda can created some damage between you and your partner!
LOL
well i was in a law suite with HTC for the issues i was having with my HTC Desire issues so i received a new desire hd for all the issues i went through even though HTC took a year to settle lol
so do you guys like your Desire HD
Congrats on getting the HD. Your going to love it. Im delighted with my one.
I got mine on 2 days back. I am loving it with Gingerbread sense.
Sent from my Desire HD
congratz.. now go to DHD dev and flash the gingerbread rom on it..
+1, then you never look back on your desire anymore
lol that statement is so true i cant put this phone down, lol as well i have not touched my iphone in days my buddy has a iphone 4 as well and he was blown away by the htc Desire HD i know the GPU is not all that but what i use it for it is amazing he just fell in love now he wants one
I must be the only person who doesn't love this phone, its not that I dont like it, its just that there seems to be a lot of issues.
I got mine on Saturday, it was a Vodafone UK upgrade, and coming to this from the orginal Desire has been a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
The one thing I noticed as soonas I took it out of the box was the seemingly sharp edges around the screen area, the phone itself is sluggish and the screen can be very non-responsive, I cant for the love of all thats almighty get the HTCSense to work - in fact cant even create an account, cant download Locations, the GPS wont work because it says it cant find the satellites even when I'm outside, and the list just goes on.
I loved my original Desire and chose it over the iPhone 4 and thought this would be the next step up buy boy was I wrong. Chances are Ive just got a bad one, but its hasnt half dented my confidence in what I originally thought was a great brand.
As I said, I had the phone as an Vodafone upgrade through Phones4U in the UK. Are they likely to give me a new phone or will they make me have this one repaired? To be honest, I dont want it repaired I just want a new one.
Suggestions please
It sounds like you got a bad one. You could try a factory reset and see if that speeds it back up to normal. If not I would suggest they change it for you. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing the normal (non-sluggish) speed. If your one doesn't match - ask them why it is so slow.
My 2 cents.
I would suggest the same as Grant Barker, sounds like you've got some kind of issuse!
Factory reset is always an good idea! ;-)

IANAL but distance selling reg's should cover this, you are entitled to reject the phone within seven days, personally I would speak with Phones4U as i have found them very helpfull in the past if no joy there try speaking to vodafone aswell.
But it does sound like you've recieved a lemon, even if I did find SENSE slowed the phone down over vanilla android.
1st thing I tried was a factory reset and to be honest, I think its made a blind bit of difference.
Thanks for the heads up people, I'll let you know how this progresses.
you will have to contact the company and explain to them u have a DOA

HI hi hi
I'm just on to leav HTC at all.
I've order DHD from ....dialaphone.com(phone4u)
Second day I just ask to cancel my order for poor quality of finish AL-housing and plastic sim cover was just realy beadly made!!!
After canceling it I've order HD7 from dialaphone.com(phone4u)
Same sh.t realy same sh.t.
Baterry cover, plastic frame with scratches and in the middle of screen big looks like somone try to pull it off.You can see parts inside!!!
Was canceled !!!
No HTC in near future! Nono!
Is this fault of HTC TW? or Phone4u UK is selling some sort of 2nd quality ****?
Welcome from the owners of SHD.
Sense is really nice, I think.
With other Nosense Rom's i took less pleasure to use my phone.
In addition, drivers included in HTC sense, allow the phone to be much less energy.
Otherwise, you must hack the kernel.

Me tooo Welome to the club!!
Got my desire hd as a tmobile upgrade and loved every second.with it expect for the usb charging.
Just make sure a factory reset is done if it running slow
Sent from my DHD
ok it makes me mad...this is my second device(lost my original on a roller coster) i'm short on cash at the moment so i been doing research trying to find out if i could get a different device but it turns out i would have to pay full price...should i just file a claim and get the same device or would att let me renew my contract and get a different device....my last upgrade was in early april
Hi kilme14,
Thats to bad! What exactly happened to your second Surround? Does still function at all? Can you tell us if or what it does, or if its just doesn't turn on at all?
Is it not covered by warrenty?
Tough to say if they would let you renew your contract that early, and i think if they did you would still be paying almost full price for your new phone. I know I try with my phone companies and depending on how they determine when you get an upgrade its a tough shot.
Hopefully we can figure this out, or your phone company gives you a new one.
Thank you,
Coockoo
it wouldn't load past the white htc screen, and today i got an error about my storage card....but i finally got att to send me a new phone but i'm going to trade it in for a different phone...the windows phone isnt working for me
Alrighty cool, I'm glad they sent you a new one!
If by chance you end up keeping that one or go through this again. The stem of that problem comes from the SD. Its happened to quite a bit of people and replacing the 16GB SD that comes with the phone fixes. I've done this myself as they wouldn't give me warranty and it works just like brand new. I've done and there are several others who have fixed that same issue with the replacement of the SD.
I like windows phone but i keep jumping back and fourth between my desire HD and Surround. they both have so many cool aspects about them and i really can;t wait for MANGO to be released, it looks pretty nice.
Hopefully your new phone fairs a bit better! What are you going to try and get?
Take it easy,
Coockoo
oh man .
if you get eror - storage card is not working . either swapped either unavaible ( or something like . )
just hard reset phone and THATS all .
1. turn off
2. hold volume down key .
3. after screen says promt about factory settings - hit volume down again
dont be drama queen man ..
Damn, I feel bad for you man..
Got my 3GS stolen about half a year ago and I was pissed. Not the same thing that happened to you, but I hate being phoneless, and it dying must suck
Don't worry you'll get another phone soon enough !
