lol no. i was in dover nh when i got it. i love the phone just my Flash is broken.
Welcome. At the time, I really enjoyed my HTC Hero. I previously had an HTC Touch with a winblows OS, so android was a wow moment for me.
There's alot of great devs and support for the EVO. It think it what sets this phone apart from any other. Good luck and enjoy (when you get your flash fixed).

Welcome, we've got some good stuff, like one click root, more roms than you could need, miui, cm7, and sense out the wazoo. What are you thinking of doing to your new toy? A little cm or are you a sense fanatic like me?

im a Sense freak. i am gonna go with myn's warm rls5 with slayer69 cyan dragon theme.
i was thinking if i tried to flash it to see if i liked it and to see if it would fix my LED flash problem. but idk how to UNROOT the evo like i did with the hero. cause idk where to get the RUU for the evo. its on there main site for the hero but not the evo. just tells me how to hard reset by holding the volume down and power on and clean drive.
If you want instructions on how to unroot the EVO this thread on this site talks about it and has links to instructions on what you need to do.

I've had an EVO since launch day but I just bought my dad one over the week. He's upgrading from the RUMOR so it's a big step up for him. Radioshack had a promo over the weekend. Turn in your old phone and credit a $50 dollar credit for either a new EVO or EVO shift. So total it was only $150 plus tax out the door.
Also new to the EVO forums, got it today, cant wait to get home an root-root-root.
And flush my Hero into a drawer for emergencies.
I'll be seeing ya'll around here. ;-)

Welcome, I love my EVO
First time poster, long time reader, just wanted to hi and that this forum site is awesome. I rooted my phone three days ago and today I'm running and loving mikfroyo 4.5. Thanks to all!!
Welcome, try cm 7
I bought an Evo almost entirely because of our dev community.
Currently running MikFroyo 4.5 with Slayer's Dragon Theme (it is badASS) but I've run quite a few others. Huge CM fan (it's been on all my rooted phones at some point.
Great devs, great phone, adequate service. Yeah, I love my Evo
Plus, we have a Honeycomb rom being cooked up by AndroidBall. Excited about that as well
lucky you. i cant run the slayer69 dragon theme. its a SICK SICK theme toon. it just keeps crashing on me. but
Welcome to this old decrepit phone. In few months I'll be ditching mine. I'm just waiting to see what radio hacks develop for the cdma iphone.

im sure but with hd2 never ill tell you that
I don't know what bugs you are talking about, but more than likely it is the roms. Limitations, then yes, I know of. e.g only 512 rom.
Good moved.
such a shame someone else leaves and buys them self an iphone 4, yeah and your point is??????
To Troll??????
We hardly care that you went and bought an iphone 4.
The lack on Android, well firstly wrong there loads of Builds available, some have a few problems some have none at all so I cant really see your point here,
Secondly buy a Android Device if thats what you want.
The HD2 is probably the best device available, proven by the amount of work the hackers, programmers etc have put into this phone, they have slugged there guts out making things work that was never supposed to.
So have fun with your iphone locked down piece of poop.
Congratulations. You dumped a real smartphone and paid premium price for a outdated locked down app launcher. Multiple operating systems vs one boring operating system? Choice vs restriction? Bad move buddy

Lmao, there is no lack of android!
What is lacking is brain capacity = iPhone user!
There is MANY, MANY roms that work 99.9%. There is MANY, MANY roms that work 99.9% with simple tweaks/modifications.
The reason why you got your iPhone is because you dont have the mental ability or patience to learn. = iPhone user.
Congratulations on your Apple lobotomy, good riddens!
Wish I could find these "bugs" on ny phone but unfortunately my phone works perfectly, Perhaps it was something YOU did incorrectly.

Indeed well said
tut..... my only regret is selling the hd2... i brought a htc desire z because of the keyboard and couldnt afford to keep the hd2 cus i needed the money .... but ill get one again because there just such a good phone.... people get so drawn in by the iphone... i just dont see why...
Mate I dont post much but I saw this post and I gotta say, that's the dumbest reason I've ever seen for a person getting rid of a HD2. It is probably the only phone out there which can run almost any ROM so smoothly cus of its high end hardware and also cus the amazing devs who cook really stable and smooth roms for it. This **** is legendary.
Worst decision. Have fun sucking on Steve Jobs' balls even for a thing as little as sending a file via Bluetooth
The phone was too good for you anyway. Have fun with your locked down communist piece of dookie

I contacted HTC to ask if we will get the 2.3 update:
Will the HTC Legend receive the Android 2.3 update?
HTC replied with the following:
Thank you for contacting HTC.
No, the HTC Legend will not be receiving the Gingerbread update. Android 2.3
I noticed that a lot of people were wondering if we were going to get Android 2.3 or HTC Sense 3.0, so I thought I'd contact them myself.
I hope this clears up any mess
Here's the e-mail:

Yeah I heard the desire was getting it sans some sense apps... apparently they require too much RAM or something .. I don't know why they can't push 2.3 with the same old sense...

The Desire has more RAM and the exact same ROM as the Wildfire S, which runs Gingerbread on the New Sense just fine! Minus HTC Locations, but that's all I noticed was missing!
...or is there some spec I'm missing?

No, basically HTC have lied once again, to the Desire owners this time. Tbh I've lost all faith in HTC, I quite like my Legend still now that it is rooted, but next year when my contract runs out I'll get a different Android phone, possibly a Samsung or a Google Nexus phone depending on what's around at the time.
Everyone seems to be forgetting about htc developer site, im pretty sure its going to be quite like Android Source with teh ability to build from source like Cyanogenmod?!
I'm running 2.3.3 with sense 2.1 from ogo2 with no performance issues, it's obvious to me they want to push people to buy new phones.

Yeah, they were being lazy (or deceiving) when they said INITIALLY that the Desire was not receiving Gingerbread. Two days later, they must have realized this or someone must've pointed out their lie by analyzing specs on their current generation phones, because they decided to pump Desire with Gingerbread once more.
Stupidity, stupidity.

Lets hope so, I like HTC Sense personally so it'd be great to see some more HTC Sense ROMs as the Legend doesn't have very many. Tbh we hardly have any non-HTC Sense ROMs either though!

I agree. With the new HTC Developers site, we are bound to get new ROM's
Everyone reading this, flash Cyanogen 7 for Legend and you will never look back. It's Gingerbread and better than stock Gingerbread and better than any Sense Gingerbread HTC would give us..

Totally agreed. Why would you wait for official Gingerbread when you have one on Cyanogen 7? Which is freakin' amazing!

Well, than you've better get starting cooking these ROMs, cuz I don't see any one else willing to do so. There's about 10 people on this forum that care about this phone, including 3 guys that have the knowledge and skillz to make a fully working ROM. I don't wanna sound pessimistic, but the Legend I kinda dead in terms of development.

I suppose you are right. The Legend is a phone that is soon going to become unsupported by dev's.

I personally love the speed of it. But in my opinion, I think that the stable version isn't exactly stable. I keep getting random reboots and right now, my Messages Application won't open :/
And that's one reason why I sold my Legend to my brother, little or no updates in the OS version from HTC.
I prefer sense to be honest, Dont like any launcher apart from rosie as nothing compares to it!
this really doesn't surprise me, newer models are out. So HTC would be 'forcing' you to get a newer phone
Yep cm7 works for me

Personally I don't care about newer versions of Android on Legend. There's no feature in 2.3 or later that would significantly enhance my productivity compared to 2.2 or 2.1. I think I can use my Legend as is at least for the next year or so.
Sent from my HTC Legend
I really like the new feel of the new sense.. It us just a matter of time before we see it on or legend.. Ogo2 its very close.. I would also like to just see the new framework integrated into blay0's ROM

to my trusty HD2. I've been using the Sensation now for a few months and while I love it, I just can't seem to say goodbye to the HD2. No matter what Android throws at me I still love WM6.5. I still find the HD2 to be a phone that is so easy to live with, so versitile, easy to customise. Hell it even boots up in half the time of the Sensation!
Anyone else who feels like this about the HD2?
The HD2 is an amazing phone, I've given away 2 upgrades to friends and am still using my HD2...albeit not on wm6.5.
I'm using Android and WP7...for this reason alone it's still, IMO, the best phone available for its versility and power.

I don't, I read it again and again, still can't .
But I agree to what your post was supposed to mean.
I'd just like to say WOW - I had a HTC Hero GSM (G2 touch i guess as I am from the uk and it was on tmo ) I've now got a desire, but you know what I actually miss the hero, it was my little Hero - I had it running faster (appearance - not clock speed) than the wildfire and the wildfire S (I used to tease my mates about it LOADS) I loved that little thing. Ok so I like the desire, its got better hardware yes, but I really dont care, and I'm glad we are getting ICS going on it, but at the end of the day its just a phone now. My ikkle Hero was never just a phone to me it was a HERO
Anyway I just decided to pop my head in and see if any1 was still developing for it, and wow am I surprised! it's got loads of people still keeping that awesome phone going! my congrats to the devs too for starting to look at ICS for the Hero! and to everyone else who it keeping it going.... I am impressed, and wish I had never given the hero to my g/f (now ex who bloody sold it for £50 -____- ).
I guess this thread has no real purpose... I just wanted to say well done people, and dont put your Hero down coz others have "better" phones, its all perspective. For the hardware the Hero has, it does so so sooooooo well.
Over and out
One Up for that
Some weeks ago my Desire just broke and I had to switch back to my old Hero.
I allways was interested in CustomRoms but never switched because I didnt wanted to lose warranty. But with the Hero already being out of warranty I started trying out Roms
Just great what the community is able to do with that hardware. So much better than the manufacturers rom. Current, faster and more functions build in.
If my desire wouldnt be repaired I would happily stay with the Hero.
But now I think I will give it to my g/f
regards
st
Well, I'm also back for a while only phone ever w/h (major) problems... though I miss the performance and size of my HOX..
