Cheers - and goodbye. :)

Just wanted to say since I've had my Touch HD I've had countless support from everyone on here, theres too many names to mention, but today, I received my Touch Pro 2 and will be leaving this forum... (only down the road though, 2 doors down I think).
Never been a better set of people working with a device and I thank each and everyone of you, especially the chefs and their support teams, without you my HD would be no where near as good as it is now.
Hopefully you will all be getting a Touch Pro 2 and coming to help me there, but until then, I'll only be in this forum in dribs and drabs helping where I can until I sell my HD.
Au revoir!

NICE... Congrats Pal. I will be seeing you shortly in that section too. I am waiting for T-Mobile to release that device for us here in the US so that we'll have the 3G capabilities .
But Touch HD would still be one of the top devices I have used.
I will chk out your reivew on the TouchPro (Rhodium) section if you have one.

Congrats on your new mobile.
I need a help from you if possible.
Iam also planning to buy a touch pro 2.
But, it will be really helpful for me if you can give me few details about your new phone.
1. Is it having the same yellowish tint as Touch HD screen?
2. Have you tested the out of box video playback ? is it the same as HD or any improvement (I mean some updates video drivers??
3. What about the battery life? (too early i know , but still)
Thanks in advance

Goodluck and congrats on your new device my friend...

have fun, moved thread to blackstone

But why do you leave this beautiful thin device THD and get this ugly fatty TP2?

Nice mate,
i wish you all the best there.
i wanted to get a TP2 but it was not yet released when i flushed my X1 so i got HD.
btw TP2 has a 0.2 inches smaller screen, can u live with that?
for me, i will not get a TP2 unless an external KB is essential.
best of luck

Haha, I know what you mean, but with this device being narrower and a bit fatter, it actually feels better in the hand. Plus I want a hardware KB, this has it where the HD obviously don't. Love both devices, can't fault either.

You don't really notice the difference, whats 0.2"!!! No seriously, you don't notice the difference but the screen does look a lot clearer than the HD for some reason, I thought they were the same. Seems more responsive too.
Has more on front too, nice to have a Start Menu button and a home button as well as the hardware Zoom slider, Front notificaiton light is always nice too

Will let you know these, haven't tested them as yet. Not sure what you mean about the yellowish tint?? Video playback I would imagine is the same as this is driver issue not hardware.
Battery life actually has a monitor on it from last full charge, so will let you know in next few days about that, fully charging it now so tomorrow will be day 1

Congrats on your new device!
Personally i prefer those 0.2" and a 3.5mm jack

Congrats on your TP2!! I'm doing the same once it arrives in the USA 7/22 for T-Mobile 3G!!

Thanks friend.

OMG don't wish to be rude, but you're actually congratulating somebody on buying a cell phone in the same way one would congratulate on the birth of a child. This is nuts!?

I was the same as you to be honest, a little bit pesemistic about the tp2 as I had my Blackstone, I didn't know what could be better, but I needed the hw kb.
To my amazement, the screen is clearer and more responsive, but don't get me wrong, if it wasn't for the hw kb, I wouldn't have changed.
Love both devices, just waiting for HSPL and roms to start flying about

Ok, again, not had chance to check video but will be doing that later today.
Battery.... A nice feature is that when you go into settings--power, there is an information tab at the end, which displays the time you have used it.
So far, my battery has depleated 11% (I'm on 89% left) with factory stock ram and so far I have...
19 hours, 10 minutes standby
41 minutes talktime
44 minutes device usage
Device usage is just when you have the device out of standby, whilst I've been doing this I've installed about 15 programs, set up Tom Tom, used Tom Tom for 10 minutes and also been playing with settings... So far I'm quite impressed.
I've also sent/received 32 text messages.
Hope this helps

Think I'll hold off purchasing any new phones until something comes along and blows my mind away. Unfortunately the TP2 didn't do this for me, but have fun anyhow.
@ nicelad_uk - Best of luck with your new baby. I hope you were well rested beorehand mate

A little help please anyone

Ok here we go. I read all about flashing and looked over the instruction guide. I think I am ready. I have a pot of coffee just in case.
At this point in time I have many questions but will ask as I go.
The first question I do have is what is the best ROM as far as eye candy goes with good batt life. I really want to see what this baby can do.
HTC HD 1024
Thanks all in advance

You're most likely going to get the "Try them all and see which ROM you like" answer. Which I suggest.
It would also be wise to check out the sigs of members. They keep them updated as to what ROM and radio they are currently using.
You'll enjoy flashing.

I'll be honest, Energy ROM looks nice and works well. If you get the right radio (for me its 2.12), your battery can last like 48 hours on one charge.

I am thinking I will get replys to that effect. Just so much info out there, kinda overwelmed right now.
I will flash like crazy I am sure, seems everyone loves to do it.
Wanted to start something that my friends will say OMG I want HTC. There are a lot of good posts about the energy ROM as far as batt life and such, just looking for something that has that eye candy, that my friends will ditch there providers and come to HTC, lol

Uh, you mean 1. they will ditch their manufacturer to get an HTC or 2. ditch their OS and come to windows mobile?
1. If you mean manufacturer, doubt it, hardware on other manufacturers are similar like for example Motorola.
2. I was at first reluctant to move to windows mobile. I am glad that it is easy to use and alright, but anyday I'd move to android (if they port android to HD2 within the next 3 months, i'll be happy. If not, I'll just buy project emerald or Galaxy S). I honestly believe the an Sense or standard android or the iphone will look as clean as any leo screens you see on this forum or the european HD2 forum.

Quick questions before I take the hd2 plunge

Is there an equivalent xda forum app like the one for Android
Is flash actually any good on the browser? BBC player work?
Many thanks guys
Oh and battery life average? Is there an extended battery available?
Cheers in advance
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Hi mate,
before i get stoned for this, just a reminder that this is MY point of view, i am not writing this to start a discussion, simply someone asked a question !

this is very open to discussion, like you asked which one is better? blonde, brunette or redheaded ?
until you dont try, you wont know. personaly as my signature says, i stuck with this rom, as i found 2-3 more promissing and better fit my needs, but the chefs were so ignorant, and were not ready to help for few obvious bugs, i gave up on tham.

for myself, battery last from one morning till next day night. not turning it off. hspda always on, mail checking every 10mins, weather download 30mins, average 30sms/day, and using it for business, so the phone calls are something to count on .. and i use the original battery. i also found some chinese batteries on ebay, that are same size, but more capacity.
hope this gave you some new info.
cheers

hmm im going from a desire to a hd2 there has to be some thought taken
HD2 is a handset iv always looked at with slight envy, plus iv never done any development work on winmo so its something i can learn with
off to pick one up!
will report back shortly!

Best Rom, see here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700513 .Have edited first post.
Moving this to General.

i'd say hd2, is a matured and stable hardware platform. you can find a lot of good roms here thanks to the ever skillful chefs; and even if you're not a huge fan of winmobile, there is a lot of good developers here and out there looking for ways to port it into android, and perhaps winmob7? The possibilities are endless, why hesitate?

Has someone cracked the bootloader now then

It looks like he just updated to android 2.1. Is your friend and employee of sony ericsson?
It's a bad quality video, but thanks for sharing.

guys... cut him some slack for sharing... It's not that the video quality is bad (ok maybe the direction of the movie is bad... First minute of watching I was wondering if it's supposed to make me fall asleep watching the sony ericsson sign, or maybe a ghostly image pops up with a scream so loud, it'd scare the beejeezus outta me)
The movie screen resolution is actually meant to be small, not full screen size of your monitor.
Keep the screen resolution to its original % and you'll see the image just fine =)
But I'm just curious... Is that phone owner a hacker or something?
He should get arrested if he is =X

painful to watch....

Hi Thanx for the movie.
Could you ask to your friend if he could extract the full rom of this device ?
This is wonderfull if we can have those files for all xda's dev !
Maybe i'm wrong ?

Yeah, I think that would help out a lot. Especially once we get custom roms rolling.

Any news for the video?

any more news about this anywhere?
can I also know the source of video pls?

Hello,
first of all thank you for this cute sharing!
Can your ask to your friend that made this ROM cooking if he can ensure us that has been able to use multitouch (or dualtouch, it doesn't matter) on the X10 with Android 2.1 ?
Thanks! Hope you let us know as soon as you have more info!!
p.s.: hello abm77!

It's kinda sad, I find this pre-beta/beta ROM more exciting than the actual GM release. I want a stock update with none of the crap SE adds, all that social web malware. If I want any FB, Twitter or what have you stuff on my phone I'll install it myself.
And yes, I know it can be purged somewhat from a rooted phone but you're still stuck with some residual scraps and removing all the extra stuff is annoying and shouldn't have to be done.
I'd almost be willing to pay a symbolic fee to SE if they would provide two updates instead of one when 2.1 rolls out. One officially supported and one vanilla. The vanilla one wouldn't even have to be supported and could be posted with a gigantic warning saying: "WE WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS, IF IT BREAKS IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT!!". Anything to not have to deal with *scape, FB and all that gear.

Hmm... Then I seriously think you should get another phone. X10 is about timescape and mediascape.
Maybe a Nexus One will suit you better?

No, it's capable of taking some great pictures, in the right conditions and use...can you give some more details on what you're trying to take pictures of, etc? And please clarify exactly what you mean by "the picture is garbage"
Some tips:
-make sure the lens cover is clean, every time before you take pics...it doesn't take very much crud or finger grease on there to distort your images
-hold the phone as still as possible when shooting, the HD2 doesn't have a lot of instability tolerance
-lighting is crucial, you may have to make adjustments in the environment when taking indoor shots
-go into the settings on the camera (the little gear icon that appears when you hit the tab below the shutter button), and then choose "advanced". On page one is the resolution setting, and on page two is the quality setting...make sure both of those aren't set too low.

also, learning how to spell really helps...if you cant, people on here are less inclined to answer you. just a heads up

Really man...? We have people here from all different countries. Spelling is probably the least of our worries. Now noobs coming in asking about Android on HD2, probably more of an issue to call someone out on.

I can attest to this one: Couple of finger smudges and all of the sudden your once-sharp pics get blurry. A quick wipe with the inside of a cotton shirt is all I do.

You missed one key word... PEOPLE from different countries. Not the phone lol. He could be from another country of origin; meaning his spelling of words in the English dictionary might not be perfect.
Maybe he just failed English for all I know. Point is, theres far more constructive things to do on this forum than faulting other members for spelling a word wrong

lol thanks people for the reply, and it was funny also , anyway i like the phone when i got it n the new roms that u can flash are great but i think im giving up on this phone plus not a lot of good apps, what i really like was the size of the screen, movies are great on it ,n big plus that it was a windows phone n no im not an iphone fan . This phone has a lot of potential . Any one know of a better phone for Tmobile?

Samsung vibrant is pretty awesome. I played with one yesterday. If you dont like the apps on the hd2 that pretty much limits you to android.

From what I understand it doesn't run on the US version, but I'm not caught up on my reading. I would love to be able to dual boot Wmo and Android but only because I'm a nerd and I love to mess with my phones.

what? it runs perfectly on our US version. im running a desire rom now. data works and everything. here is the link.http://gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html
to instal, extrat files to the ROOT of your sd card, then run the HARET program. i suggest you use 7-zip to extract the files.
