If you have demoed an HD2, please post here saying when and where

I'd like to get a list of which shops in which cities actually have HD2's available for demonstrations. (Personally I'd like somewhere in London, but other people will want them in other places!)
Obviously feel free to tell us what you thought of the phone when you demo'ed it.

Got one to test
I have been playing with it since last week, and some things are great - somethings I dont like. I don't really want to say much as it may not be final software.

I have to say I'm very suspicious of all these people who claim to have a device 'but can't say anything because they might get into trouble'...
I believe Belafont because at the very least he posted pics and feedback....
hey..maybe I've got on here to play with...can't say anything of course...you'll have to wait......
yeah right

You could still say but put a disclosure that it might not be the final ROM.

To be fair, the release date is just around the corner so we'll get more answers soon.
There's supposed to be another announcement on the 4th Nov, not sure what other details they can give but still going ot be interesting nonetheless.

exactly my point, if wildwayz has one as he claims, why doesn't he tell us about it...show us some pics etc....
with the release just around the corner, what difference would it make to divulge some info?

chill guys
some of us would put our professional lives at risk by speaking out now.
Its called an NDA - Non-Disclosure Agreement
And before you ask - no I aint got one

Show you some photos? What of? The outside of the case?
I DO have one - even posted a photo of the battery in another thread. I just installed the final ROM on the HTCPedia site - which has fixed the issue with Panoramic Photos.
Not played too much with the final ROM tho...
The reason I can't say too much is because it was a test ROM and I don't want to say anything negative about it as it doesnt give HTC fair chance to correct the issues.
What do you want to know about the HTC HD2? I'll try to answer it as best I can - bare in mind, I am new to Windows Mobile (Last time I used one, was back in the days of the PDAs ).

Speaking as the OP, I'm actually not very intererested in people who claim to have an HD2 "on test"; the main motivation behind this thread is to identify places (e.g. shops) where members of the general public can go to get HD2 demos of their own. In the early stages of a phone's release cycle, even if a given chain sells the phone, any given branch may well not have enough of them to be able to offer demonstrations. If we can find which places do, that'll be a good start.

I want to ask about screen material..
Is it made a tempered glass or flexy-plastic ??

May I humbly suggest that we don't attack every single person who comes to the forum and says he has the device, immediately declaring his/her words to be a hoax? Each and every one of us can make their own judgment, believe what we read or not, but this thread is asking for user experience, and I simply don't see the point in discouraging people right away. Also, demanding proof is kind of silly. If I had the device and read this thread, I'd most probably just leave - I certainly wouldn't bother to take pictures of myself with the phone or prove that I have it in any other way.
We're all anxious to get our hands on the beast, but let's be reasonable!

Tempered glass - well it feels like the iPhone. I think it may have some kinda special coating on it - smudges show up, but in the morning they are gone (Pilkinson make some glass like that, I believe).
Plus it is capacitive.
When you factory reset it, the setup wizard is very similar to the Hero - asks you to test the typing etc, choose mobile operator, connect to wi-fi then set up GMail, Exchange or another email account.
You can remove items from the Sense bar - so if you dont use Twitter etc, they can be removed.

Will do - but won't it conflict with the SENSE UI?

That's exactly why you are asked to try running it - to find out whether it conflicts with Manila.
I think you'll need to disable it to run SPB Shell properly. Previously it was done in Settings - Personal - Items - uncheck TouchFLO3D.

-so more people could benefit from your findings

one question I do have is about the notification LED.
on previous WM phones (I'm thinking of my Orbit in particular) there were two LEDs. These were used for notification of charging, power, sms, bluetooth etc.
the original HD only had one, and it was very small and hard to see
how big and easy to see is the LED on the HD2?

...is there something to win for the best OT?

wow, multitouch like iphone and the lovely 1ghz processor is the reason I'm willing to sell my Touch HD for the HD2. And wow, so happy to hear that it is tempered glass and not the bull**** resistive multitouch screen someone has been claiming.

Yeah I always found it pretty weird that some people were convinced that the HD2 carried a resistive touch screen when HTC themselves had gone on record saying that it was capacitive. Just proves how ignorant some people can be.
Got to try out the phone at the local expo over the weekend in Helsinki and pre-ordered one today. Was very impressed by the performance and looks of the HD2.

A piece of hardware that was only removed because TMO didn't want it on their network is hardly a reason for someone to get an iphone. Samsung covered up the camera hole with some paint and left the mounting brackets in place. This is simply putting your phone back to the way the manufacturer intended it to be.
If people want to make video calls or take myspace pics (are they still called that even though pretty much no one uses myspace anymore?), then let them. We've got three Vibrants in the house & for $20-25 each, we can get a FFC, so I'll probably be doing this mod as well, even if I never actually use it. You'll still have something unique that 99% of the other phones out there will not have.
For the people that don't want apps sharing their GPS location without their consent (even though they gave it when they installed the app), that's a reason to go to iphone. For people that just want the phone "experience" to be magical out of the box, that's a reason to get an iphone (the rest of us LIKE that Google made it so pretty much everything is customizable).

Sell your vibrant and get the international galaxy s and then unlock it and root it

Another option which I plan on doing when I get the loot, is to pick up an iPod Touch 4G and wifi tether it to my Vibrant. Plus this way il have the best of both worlds. Android Market and iOS Market.

Yeah, too bad Samsung didn't redesign the board to fix that. The camera was removed because T-Mobile didn't think it was necessary (and I agree), and to keep costs down.
If you REALLY want the device to be "how the manufacturer intended it to be", stop rooting, flashing roms, hacking it, and do a factory reset to JFD firmware and leave it alone.
Otherwise, you're just a hypocrit.
BTW, I truly believe that an FFC is a completely useless gimmick, and nothing more than a check on the box and something for people to ***** about it not being there. Nobody thought they wanted one till it wasn't there.

Okay you wrote this because? Nothing is perfect outta the box. You get a laptop and instantly get firefox or chrome, you order food at a resturant and add salt. Who said we hated our phones cause we mod them? I like the vibrant, I also like video chat, so if I can have both why not? No one is telling you to do it, you just keep running sammy's knock off ios touch wiz and leave the customization for people who understand what android is about. Better yet get a nice feature phone so I dont have to skim past your narrow minded crap. A hypocrit posts in xda about not modding a phone. Shove off troll. Help or leave.
Edit the ffc is built onto the i9000 cam prob costs an extra $5 tops in bulk, who here would not have paid a lincoln more for there phone?
Tmo removed it so the mytouch line would be the first to get it.

OK, yes, maybe I'm trolling a little bit, but seriously, you people didn't even know you wanted this stupid gimmick till it wasn't there.
I wrote my last post because the guy said that putting in an FFC is "returning the device to the way the manufacturer intended". Well, the manufacturer intended you to use it with the unrooted stock UVJFD rom. Anything else (all the community roms, leaked roms, rooting, flashed GPS files from leaked roms, "lag fixes", etc) isn't the "way the manufacturer intended". Seems a bit hypocritical to me.
PS: I never said anybody hated their phone. Don't put text onto my keyboard that I never typed. For the record, I'm running LP+ on JI6 with a custom-modded Framework-res.apk and "/data/data to NAND" hack. So don't tell me I don't know anything about modding a phone.

Duly noted sir. I will hush. Lol

Default Lock Screen

I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable the default Android 2.2 lockscreen vs the one provided by Samsung? The look of the Samsung one has always kind of annoyed me, and I prefer the stock android one if possible. No big deal if not, but just thought I'd check to see if it could be done anyway (running the stock 2.2 update that was just released, in case that wasn't implied)

actually im interested too. i hate the 2.2 samsung unlock screen. mine doesnt work most of the time, i have to swipe from top to bottom across the whole screen to work. i enabled the password puzzle in the mean time just to get rid of it.

are you talking about this?

Please advise...

I have a Desire HD in mint condition! Only used for 5 months!
Now in my country it costs 440$ new without warranty!
I bought it used for 4 months (i.e. a month ago) only with warranty for 440$, so now there remains 7 months of warranty!
I have an opportunity to sell it with the warranty and it's cover and screen protection for 480$!
Now A new SGS2 here in my country costs now 650$ without warranty!
I have an opportunity to buy a used one for 1 week only, still in mint condition for 580$!
So should i sell the DHD for 480$ and pay 100$ to get that SGS2!?!?
What would you do?!?
PS: I'm a bit hesitant only about the user interface... I like and i'm used to the Sense and Touchwiz doesn't have a good feedback...
Please help me!

You're not restricted to TouchWiz. I'm not keen on that myself and have both the SGS2 and a Galaxy Tab. Have a play with some of the other launchers available on the market to see if you'd be happy to move from Sense to them. In fairness, there's not much in it except the widgets that each launcher specifically has.
I'd strongly recommend trying Go Launcher, Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher. They're just my recommendations - there's others available.
If you decide you can work with one of the other launchers then DEFINITELY get the phone. You really won't regret it!
The DHD is a great phone, but the SGS2 is the greatest*!
*at the time of writing

go for the SGS2,,,,there is no other handset that can be compared to this beast,yet,,,and if u dont like touchwiz,,get some other launcher,,,,Launcher Pro is my fav...but of course u have alot of other choices.....just check the handset before buying if it is in a good condition and that it has no dead pixels,,,,
u can check that by Samsung's test menu(*#1234#) cuz i dont know why would some1 want to sell this phone...

Thanks bro! (I still remember ur name, maybe you had someday the HD2 like i did?!?)
Yes i think i can live with Launcher pro plus coz i used to use it on the HD2 with non-sense rom!
Let me ask you some questions about the SGS2/touchwiz, these are my main concerns:
-What about facebook and twitter integration in the contacts, sms and all the system... Is it close to what sense gives you?!
-Does it have smart dialing?!?
-Can you "colorize" a bit the user interface?! I mean contacts and the call screen look so colorless, like black only... I know that sense is not that big issue but it gives u effects and colors along with some beautiful widgets and apps (friendstream, HTC hub...)

I've got full integration of Facebook and Twitter into my contacts list, so I really can't complain there.
Smart dialing works about 90% as well as any smart dialing I've seen. The only difference is that if you type "john" then it will bring up all the people who's name begins with "john". Other dialers I've seen would also bring up names that contain "john". That's the only negative thing I've seen about it though.
To change the user interface, you can either go off the modding threads here or use one of the launchers that has themeing (theming?) or skinning included. I use Go Launcher and there's tons of themes available for that. You just download them and apply them in the launcher preferences.
I'd say that most launchers are more configurable than Sense, so I really don't think you're going to miss much. With the extra speed and loveliness that comes with the SGS2 I can't see any reason not to do it!

Why are you wasting time again. Go to SGS2. You will regret why you delayed so much, eating time with HD2. I'm a shop owner.The number of people that bought this phone because they saw it with me is incredible. They are now asking themselves how possible is it that they never knew about the SGS2. One even refused to let people touch his phone because he was afraid others may not handle it carefully. Thats the love we found with this beast. Get going mate....

btw the new touchwiz on the s2 is not bad, in fact it's very good, you will not love it, but it will do what it is supposed to do without the lag.

Problem is as posted on this forum multiple times HTC owners buy a phone without Sense then repeatedly ask for Sense on the forum .
Might be that as a Sense user you have difficulty with another like TW .
I would check the phone out in your hand first as to how you would cope if you where Senseless .
jje

Ok guys so i'very checked the S2 that I'm willing to buy and found out that I can live with some minor issues like yellowish tints and such stuff.
After that I cleared ny mind about hardware issues, software issues pop again!
I've been reading a bit about battery performance and the Android OS battery consumption issue!
Is it bad on all devices?! I've read that it might be related to WiFi and that is critical to me!
I am connected to WiFi always at home!
Please guys I need some feedback!

Idiot location request by samsung (they are very low)

Question: any way i can update my weather widget without giving samsung my location? This is insane.
They are that low that they need to spy us like every day? Not even google/lg/htc are asking for this ****.. only on samsung you need to activate your location to update the weather widget.
How is this legal? I mean our privacy doesn't matter at all anymore?
Is there any solution for using original samsung weather widget without location? Now i'm starting to see why all the people replace the samsung's crappy weather widget. I'm already looking for other widget and i think it's time to get rid of all samsung crappy apps # bloatware from MY phone.
If anyone have solutions for using the original weather widget(not the modified transparent one from theme section) without needing to activate location..please answer.
The lowest part in all this problem is that if i use a wifi network that will get the job hard for samsung to get my location... they won;t update my weather widget. They will ask for gps and more bull****. This is so low.. that i'm considering getting rid of this idiot device.
One plus one time getting closer and closer.

Really? Tin Foil hat on a bit tight today? How can you get weather if the device doesn't know where to give the weather for?
Accuweather, Weatherunderground and Weatherbug all need a location. This has been the cas on the last 5 smartphones I have used from different makers. LG, HTC and Samsung.

How can you ask for a accurate weather predicton without the phone knowing what your location is? If that is a problem for you you may consider another phone OS besides Android, iOS, WP8. Just look into the permissions you grant when you install apps. Good luck.
PS: don`t kid yourself, there is no privacy anymore. Big brother is watching you all the time

Here is another idea: Get a weather forecast stick.
Put the weather forecast stick outside.
If it is wet, it is raining.
If it is white, it is snowing.

hehe.. for people like you is very ok to give your location. i think that's why everyone is colecting data . because you don't care. in this way at android 4.5 you will be recorded in secret directly from the bedroom/bathroom :laugh:
funny part is that if someone is pissed by how samsung is spying people.. you jump and rip apart that man. now.this is the world. Okei guys. make sure you take some nasty photos wity your s5. Because you can;t ever know when you will end up like jennifer lewrence and other powerfull smartphone users :laugh:
Until than.. i found out the easyest solution. I won't use internet on my idiot device. That way..samsung can ****** . Consider whatever you want instead of that stars
And by the way..for all that asked how to update the weather without giving up location... well..ask any Lg user :laugh: . It is very easy.
But not.. so far the galaxy series have:
idiot knox™
location and gps needed for updating weather™
some backdoors™ (they found at..s4/s3/note/etc? if i'm remembering right)
selinux™ - more powerfull than ever :laugh:
and etc :laugh:
And all this is for keeping the user safe. Like real safe. You can even jump from a plane with your galaxy in your pocket. And you wont die. Just try it :laugh: . And if you get injuries..no worry. The gps and location services are there for you. With galaxy s6 samsung will introduce smart™ rescue :laugh: (of course it's based on location aproval with both wi-fi and gps)
ps: if someone quotes this post or start to argue i feel sorry already for them. they don't understood and they most likely won't ever understand.

hehe.. for people like you is very ok to give your location. i think that's why everyone is colecting data . because you don't care. in this way at android 4.5 you will be recorded in secret directly from the bedroom/bathroom :laugh:
funny part is that if someone is pissed by how samsung is spying people.. you jump and rip apart that man. now.this is the world. Okei guys. make sure you take some nasty photos wity your s5. Because you can;t ever know when you will end up like jennifer lewrence and other powerfull smartphone users :laugh:
Until than.. i found out the easyest solution. I won't use internet on my idiot device. That way..samsung can ****** . Consider whatever you want instead of that stars
And by the way..for all that asked how to update the weather without giving up location... well..ask any Lg user :laugh: . It is very easy.
But not.. so far the galaxy series have:
idiot knox™
location and gps needed for updating weather™
some backdoors™ (they found at..s4/s3/note/etc? if i'm remembering right)
selinux™ - more powerfull than ever :laugh:
and etc :laugh:

Of course I will quote this post cause it totally crazy! Are you for real man?? I think it's time for the men in white coates to come pick you up.
Have fun with your Internet free smartphone! Wow, paranoia has reached a new high.

I have a suggestion for the OP, buy a different phone and stop worrying about it. You think LG, HTC, and Motorola are any different?

Some people are destined for great things.....
Others are destined to live in lead lined bunkers eating tinned beans for the rest of time hiding from big brother.
Ps. .... I like the sound of smart rescue...... shame apple have a patent on it.

If you've signed into google then I wouldn't worry too much, they already know where you are.
They do actually tell you though...

Don't care if they pick my data but..at least i don't need location/gps to be enabled. This is too low for Samsung.

What is the connection between a smartphone , the coice to enable his internet conectivity options and tinned beans?
This idea is funny.
