Thanks all! =) - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

i just sold my HTC HD2 today.. i cant hide that im kind of sad for selling it because this is the best phone i have had and seen...
i dont know what im gonna get now but i would love some advices...
so what do you recommend me??
it has to be as good as htc hd2 or better (if exists one )
thanks in advances =)

Go for HTC Sensation!
If you're living in US maybe you should wait from T-Mobile coz I've been reading latest news that they will release Sensation too.
Well on HD2, T-Mobile version is quiet different from EU version, right? So maybe in this Sensation too.

Afaik, T-Mobile now is part of At&t or opposite of that, cmiiw. So might be Sensation will come to Mexico eventually, or just buy them online from ebay or Amazon, etc.
Well, Sensation must be the choosen one if you look next generation HTC smartphone. Or just wait until HTC release the unlocked bootloader version one, and they will be come awesome device for you.

i have in mind samsung infuse or motorola atrix but when somesone taste htc sense, its very difficult to leave it

Htc evo 3d - 3d!!
Htc samsung galaxy s - super amoled plus and perfect camera
I would not go for sensation becuase the screen is not that good as sgsII + the camera lenses on htc arent that good yet

but is EVO 3D for at&t company??
i need a att phone because im from mexico and the att frequencies are compatibles with mexican companies frequencies,
i had the tmobile htc hd2 and i just had it with EDGE thats why i sold it :/
or is there another phone i can use with 3G or 4G from the united states??
the ones that i have seen so far from at&t are:
- htc inspire 4G $300 USA Dollars
- Motorola ATrix 4G $300-350 USA Dollars
- Samsung Infuse 4G $500 USA Dollars
- Samsung captivate 4G $200-250 USA Dollars

Samsung galaxy s 2. Works with a T&t's 3g bands, but costs a hell lot. The price to pay for the best phone you can get at this time.
I mean tell me, which phone can run 20 tabs at the same time and play a HD youtube video fine? Pretty sure the sensation can't handle that with sense eating away the power.

It is funny how you guys are talking about the new HTC Sensation when it hasn't been out yet. Wait till it gets released then you guys can keep talking about how bad it is smfh..

The sensation is out. >.>
It's been selling in I think vodafone. It was out since last week I think, or before.

Been released in Europe a couple of weeks ago.
I am also doubting between the Sensation and the S2.
I saw some 720P and 1080P videos that where taken with both phones at the same time and boy ow boy the Samsung kills the Sensation on that front by a mile.
Since my HD2 is in repair I had some issues concentrating (called toying)and bought myself the very cheap ZTE blade. After 3 days I am starting to fall in love with it (especially for the price I paid for it).

You could wait till aT&t releases their version, which will be cheaper prolly.
Or the HTC infuse is a good choice, along with the cappy, super amoled is my cup of tea.

Because not everyone is willing to spend 800 on a phone, note "phone", which could get me a ASUS N53SV XE1.

yeah im agreed with you, and more even here in mexico where the assaults are in the skies ;/
so im willing to pay 450 MAX maybe for the Samsung infuse, i saw some camera shots of that phone and i felt in love with it, but otherwise i really love HTC SENSE
it is so cute and unique!!
is there a way to have "like sense" in samsung infuse 4G?
or do i have to stay with the htc inspire 4G?
because i already look the motorola atrix and i didnt like it at all :S or can someone defend it?

Sense can be ported, but from how I see it, the infuse will not have a lot of devs working on it, so sense might be impossible in this situation.
I'd say go for the inspire 4g, lots of devs.
For one, i've never used a atrix 4g before, but I won't vouch for it being good. I've been to the atrix 4g forums when it came out, and all I saw was problems, problems, problems, "lagginess", screen was uninspiring, camera had issues, it's just not worth it as I see it.

Maybe the first released of HTC Sensation had locked bootloader (but with genius devs in xda I think it eventually will be unlocked no matter how it does to works ) that will make the phone couldn't installed with custom rom.
And you're absolutely right about HTC Sense. You can't leave that easily too.

G1 died today.....what phone to get

So ya i was hoping my G1 would survive till an android phone with the 1ghz cpu was released to t-mobile in store, but it didn't make it. Unfortunately i cant get the Nexus in the t-mobile store, which i think was a terrible idea on google's side, but whatever. What other android phone you guys think would be a great device to have?
got the wife a Behold 2, and its AWESOME.....after i rooted it and put a custom rom on it. The mytouch is ok. reminds me a lot of the G1. Ill never buy a motorola product ever again.......does anyone know of any other android devices coming out for t-mobile anytime soon?
thanks a ton for the time!
cheers!
The HD2? It's Winmo but these clever minds here on XDA will soon put Android on it, I'm pretty sure.
I felt the MT3G is a vast difference from G1, and you can check out the 1.2 version as well.

It sounds like we may be in similar situations, this is what I am thinking:
Im wondering the same thing. i have a mytouch, and wife now needs a new phone. Not getting the nexus bc of the family plan we have, and not gonna spend $500 on it.
Since it does not look like tmobile is coming out with any new (nexus like performance) phones really soon, this is what I think we are going to do, maybe good for you too:
I think we are going to find a mytouch on craigslist (like mine). hopefully for around $150. root it so that it runs good, and wait for tmobile to come out with something good, then use upgrade to get discount on new phone. Then sell the mytouch (purchased from craigslist) on ebay for about the same, if not more...
sounds like we are in the similar situations, so figured i would share about the only option I can see would be good. What do you think? good luck

No, it was a very good idea. T-Mobile would lock it down and not let it be used on any other carrier, without unlocking. I'm sure you know that a large portion (probably around 60 - 70%, if not, more) of all cell phone users have never even HEARD of unlocking. Not being on just one carrier = more buyers. More buyers = more money.

Aside from the CDMA junk, both GSM versions are happy to work on other networks, not just the one whose 3G band is compatible.
I.e., the tmobile3G version is compatible with ATT2G, and the ATT3G version is compatible with tmobile2G. They are both compatible with INTERNATIONAL2G and some 3G.
Further, if you decide to go to.... europe, or wherever, with an unlocked phone, you can buy a LOCAL SIMCARD and it will work IFF your phone is unlocked.
But there is MORE TO BEING UNLOCKED than just sim-unlocked. There is also FIRMWARE unlocked, and with GN1, it is TRIVIAL -- "fastboot oem unlock" is the command. This allows you to load CUSTOM FIRMWARE to the device.... which is not possible with a carrier-branded device.
If you like the phone, buy it from google. They are a very reputable seller.
Expect this in the future though: as 2G dies away, you will start to see 3G-only devices with full 6-band 3G radios -- 850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100. These devices, when they appear, will be universal.

Did you bother to even read wtf you quoted? That's one of the most pathetic responses I've ever had the pain of reading.
Unless I misunderstood what you're trying to say. As of now... That's exactly what I said. They make more money like that instead of it just being T-Mobile. Or are they about to start putting out a different phone better than N1?

No, the Desire is going to be exclusive to Verizon in the US, thus cannot be used on T-Mobile because it is CDMA.
HD2
Heck yeah the HD2 is awsome, even though its not android. Like somebody above said people here at XDA will find a way to put android on it. That HUGE screen is amazing.
If you ask T-Mobile they are sure to say that one of their "lovely" blur devices is what you want, kindly kick their shin and spit on them if they do
and then Toot and, oh, I apologize, TWEET and inform us what phone you got on your way to jail.

JUST FYI, NO U.S.A carriers has been announced for the Desire or Legend and since HTC wants this to be their "super phone" it will most likely be GSM since it will be world compatible (on edge anyway) You are probably thinking about the HTC Incredible (A completely different phone)
Any way I would go with the HTC HD2 since it is a great device and there will be an android rom for it one day and when a great android phone comes out for t-mobile just sell the HTC HD2 (someone will buy it on XDA, you should get around $300 for it if you take care of it)
Get the DROID! It didnt sell over 1 million units in 74 days for nothing. i know you dont like Moto

moto isn't a good company. They been saying for a few months that the droid will get the 2.1 update in a week but it has been pushed back a lot of times. They finally pushed the update but to the milestone (droid's name for other countries) so now the droid users are pissed.
I would only choose moto for an android phone as a last resort because HTC is the brand for me.
WOW! The HTC Legend looks amazing!!

I thought the supersonic/EVO was the android version of HD2.
only thing I like about the HD2 is how big the screen is...yet so thin like a razor, but I'd much rather wait...even if the devs dished out a android rom for it tonight, I don't want to waste my upgrade on a WMO phone regardless of it's value or capability...simply because I'm stubborn
As far as the Desire goes, I believe it will be coming to T-mobile and if not, more likely a universal unlocked release like the N1...but as far as the Verizon only rumor, bullsh*t. HTC would never let me down like Moto did with the Droid
I have had up close experience with the N1, (friend of mines owns it), lovely phone, simply the best Android has to offer right now until proven otherwise by a later release, but I'm not going for it
If I'm going dish $500 bucks or more for something it will most def. be the Desire...because that is what I desire

No more Hero available at Sprint

I was going to get my wife a Hero before her discount expired, but when I went to the Sprint site tonight the Hero was no longer listed. I know I was there a week ago and it was there for $49.
I guess they finally ran out of stock. Which means this area might be moved again. Favorite it now!
That Sucks
Oh, it's so good though. They should at least make a second version of it

If Hero 2.0 had a dual core processor in it, how much would you like it then?
Why don't company's realize people like getting the 2nd 3rd and 4th version of things. Look at every apple product. Revise your product, add a number to it... How hard is this? By doing this you get closer and closer to a perfect device rather then creating new dislikes and problems.
I Agree with you term117. Rather than making new devices HTC should release the v2.0 of our Hero.
I was at a Sprint store about a week or two ago and they actually had one booted up and running on display, which is funny since they aren't supporting it with updates anymore... am I right? So for $50 you can purchase yourself something that the manufacturer and carrier deem outdated and not worthy of upgraded firmware.

You have to have something that people actually "like" first... which I think most people do like their Heros, and then you have to successfully make the change or leap without screwing it up. Personally I think the Hero should have less buttons. Just the four basic Android buttons would suffice, like the LG Optimus S.
I can sell you mine, I have a new EVO coming. Going to pre-order a Nexus too.. I am addicted...heading over to the Flashing Roms Everyday Anonymous Krew now. FREAK for short. lol

Not sure. I could care less about the 4G part, 3g and WiFi work just fine for me. Have to pay the extra $10 no matter what phone I get anyway (sucks, but what can you do) I have liked this phone ever since the T-Mobile one was released. I was about to switch from Sprint due to the lack of new phones until this and the EVO 3d were announced. EVO 3D not due out till summer but if the size of the phone remains the same, I would not be interested in the new EVO. Like talking on a brick. Don't flame me for that. I know all the specs on the new EVO. It is impressive but size does matter.

Yeah, but it just has a 1ghz processor and the 5mp camera on back is fine, but a VGA in front. It is a nice looking phone, it is like a Hero dressed in all black. I would just think would have went a little higher than the 1ghz processor and they should have at least put a 1.3 mp camera in front. Maybe I am just being too picky. I am alomst due for a new phone and the EVO 3d looks nice, except for the size dealy. I agree that Sprint is lacking in telephone department and I too have thought of just going to another provider, but then I lose my ARAMARK 18% discount.

I have to agree! Dual-core then I thought don't really use my phone in away that warrants one. Nexus 4G leading followed closely by the Shift(I believe they are getting them OC'ed to bout 1.5ghz.) just my Opinion
EVO 3D for me. I liked my Hero, but the first one had jogball problems in 3 weeks, the USB port went out in the 4th week and I replaced it with one day to spare on the 30 day exchange. I only got it because I wasn't going to pay the then 4G "tax" but now since I have to pay anyway, I'm going for it.

How can you guys manage to pay for phones like that? I mean, the earliest you could have gotten the mt4g was like what, 7 months ago? Do you pay full price for them or trade in your current phones or something?

not true, I upgraded to the samsung vibrant back in july after it came out, then the mt4g dropped and so i bought it full price, which was like $400 and then sold my vibrant for $350 on ebay, so out of pocket it costed $50 for the "upgrade", so not trillionaires, just smart shoppers lol
true, if you keep a phone in great condition you can get a good resale value. as for me, I upgraded my sidekick 08 to the mytouch 4g and it cost me around $200 and Im keeping it as mint as possible
Yeah its pretty easy to sell a phone on Craigslist or eBay for a good amount then go purchase a new one at full retail.

Guys, DO NOT GET THE SENSATION, get the g2x instead the sensation has a arm a8 processor (even though it's clocked at 1.2ghz), compared to the g2x's arm a9(clocked at at 1ghz), so it's actually a better processor, regardless of all the other specs.

[Q] Should I buy MyTouch 4G with my 200$?? or something else?

hi all.
should i buy MY4G with my 200$

Depending on whatS more important to you. Do you Carr if you have a physical keyboard? Larger screen? Cause to be honest most phones are around the 1.MHz to 1.2mhz and m then you have the dual core.

i would recommend either the mt4g slider or the sensation but are new phone and personally i think they are the 2 best phones t-mobile has. they are both $200 i think.if you want netflix on it then deffinately go with the my touch 4g slide it's on sale right now on the site and comes out in like a week in the stores, so hold on and wait for that one if you want a my touch phone
The only problem for you would be getting MT4G at a price of $200 (assuming that your declared location is correct, which means you won't be buying a contract deal with T-Mobile, but paying full cash for the phone - in which case it'll cost you $450 with T-Mobile or a bit cheaper - just a bit below $400 - on eBay).
Personally, I think it's the most cost-effective phone on the market right now.
just wait for a month or so and get some dual core action when they are more mainstream

This phone can be troublesome with the chance of a bad screen/chip, I would just go for a dual core phone, they're faster and have better battery due to the way 2X cores work compared to 1 core devices. They will have better support for longer. But I'm waiting to get a new device when the Nexus 3 is around or Ice cream sandwich is out. When ICS is out they will have 720P res and no more HW buttons according to the news. And Quad-cores are in the works so it's really up to you, I would save my money up and stay with the G1, you had it this long so why not wait a little bit more? This phone is nice, but it's defiantly showing it's age now, official support will be dropped for this in a few months i'm guessing for the MT4GS and the successor for the MT4G, maybe MTHD or something.

I came from a g1 and it lasted me 15 months b4 i decided i needed a faster phone and it really was painfully slow compared to phones out these days, i lucked out and got a sweet deal on my current mt4g phone(even tho it has bad emmc chip, i still got a good display and no problems so far...) on craigslist. Which saved me my upgrade that's in august, but now that i have the mt4g it's really not as hard to decide to wait on the Hercules, Nexus 3 or whatever else is around the corner in 2012
Wait it out a bit longer if you've decided on the mt4g the slide is dual core beast, even the sensation will be fully unlocked and available to public in days.
Ace has a good point tho

Because you don't know what issues the Slide has then I wouldn't tell someone that this phone would be less troublesome. The Mytouch 4G could turn out to be a G2X, awesome phone if you have one that works. I'm sure everyone said the screen was great on the Mytouch, until they started comparing, and how long did it take to start noticing the very minor problem of the chips?
Get a MT4G from Craigslist... I always see them going for about 150-200$. Then keep that until the merger. That way you can get a phone with the appropriate bands. No use in using your upgrade then having the phone to be unusable within 8 months.

You don't say? That's like saying you traded up to a Corvette from a Yugo, and what do you know, the Vette was faster!
Hercules is gonna be ATT ready if the merger does go thru, so unless HTC makes the next nexus phone and has similar if not better specs then Samsung Hercules I'm upgrading to some super amoled + greatness.

Isn't the Hercules just an Infuse 4G on T-Mobile?
Thanks you guys!
I'm not a US Resident. so i can't buy from T-Mobile with contract.
but thanks for the craigslist site.

Only thing the infuse has in common with the hercules is the 4.5 inch screen and internal storage, the hercules has:
dual core 1.2 ghz Qualcom processor
1gb ram
42mb radio
NFC
1080p recording
Dunno about the battery yet, but those specs alone have me sold unless the nexus 3 can dethrone it.
**I got my mt4g thru craigslist as well lol**
From what I see, the OP is from Israel. So I guess craigslist will not work

They have Craigslist in Israel
I'd guess that the OP is visiting or about to visit the US, that's why he's asking.

The nexus prime is suppose to have a 720P HD screen, ICS, no buttons on front, super amoleds, OMAP4460 @1.5GHz. It looks really nice too with no buttons.

I want YOUR opinion ;)

My friend currently owns an HTC Aria. Quite frankly, it sucks. I told him I would look into finding a solid phone to replace it. His contract with AT&T don't end 'till December >.> so go figure. He's on the low end of a budget... do you guys got any suggestions? Please be nice

Well, depending on how much he or she wants to spend, you can tell them to check out swappa.com for att phones and unlocked phones and also ebay and craigslist before the end of their contract. As far as what phones will be out in december on att, I have no idea. Theres the one x coming out soon that is good. Also, galaxy s iii and nexus iv should be out by then on att by then, but i cant compare those to the one x since we dont know anything about them yet. Htc one x looks really nice though and has a great processor and sense four and ics and good build quality and a nice screen.
