Justin Bieber uses the HTC HD2?

What do you think looking from the pic?
Do you know of any other celebrities that uses the powerhouse known as the HTC hd2 or have they been bribed by Apple?
Please let me know what you think...

This is not an HD2, imo. The little chrome-thingy at the side is not present at an HD2, and the part of the housing above the battery cover is too slim.

looks more like a blackberry to me with the logo at the middle on the back

great now i have to burn this phone.
actually that looks like a blackberry storm 2.

Thank god its not an HD2 I was about to throw mine as far away as I could

How does that look like an HD2 to you?
It's definitely a storm.

its definetly NO hd2
if the others say its a storm, its a storm
thats logical, isnt it? =)

thank god! .... i don´t have to burn, smash and vaporize my HD2 ...
... or run against these strange "doorthings" ...

At a quick glance it does have the same black trim with an HD2 like battery cover, and the size looks convincing.... But I can say 100% it is a Blackberry. 3 things tip it off.
1. Wrong shape and size for the camera
2. The phone is branded Verizon on the bottom by his finger (the Verizon symbol is visible on a large screen HDTV and zoomed in).
3. His hands would be too small to hold an HD2... Just kidding The top symbol is the Blackberry logo.
And the answer is: a Blackberry Storm 2, and not his! He was given the phone with the pre programed number in it for the Jimmy Kimmel show. He owns an iPhone as seen many times in public and even recently. If you think about it, isn't the iPhone more of a kids phone as most apps and games are geared for a younger crowd?
Just for the record, I don't follow him or claim to like his music (although he is much better than Soulja Boy... Actualy anything is better than Soulja Boy) I just wanted to put this post to rest and hopefully get J.B. off the first page.

Thanks god it is not HD2 =) She needs iPhone as every 13year old girl.

"justin bieber" i just had to google that, now when my GF looks at thew computer history she is gonna think im into **** music :'(

Who really cares about what celebrity is using which phone?The most important people for me as far as phone issues are those great cooks and editors of this great forum.They make things happen for us and rock our devices while the celebrities only get drunk and show us their "shinny pants".

Thanks for clearing up the confusion it's just that while I was watching the the video clip and the size of the phone seemed to point towards the HTC HD2.
And btw I'm younger than Bieber by a month and love the HTC HD2, whilst my friends play 'falldown' and 'doodle jump' Im busy fragging zombies on Medieval using FPSece

Seriously, who gives a ****?

Calm down mate, just a bit of curiosity nothing else,
someone's obviously a huge Bieber fan, nudge nudge wink wink

Why is he famous again?

if it was an HD2 it would have completely covered that whole side of his girly face

Garbage phone to match his garbage music

This place is a gost town!

Man ive dreaded this day for awhile now but it feels like the last few days of high school when finals are over and you were one of the only ones who showed up for school i think the hero forums have officially died.

Ok, I'm taking bets on when the Hero will be moved over to the legacy devices.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.

I give it 2 months tops.

Ok, dammit! Enough of this crazy talk. I'm keeping the hero for a few more months (at least), and I don't want to hear any more rumors of it's demise!

The G1 still has its own form! I think as long as cm supports the hero then there will be a decent community. Might not be as active, but people are here. If we can get that new .35 kernel working 100% (I'd say its about 90-95% there) then the hero will last quite a while. There is nothing magical about the .35 kernel except that is brings up closer to what all the "cool" devices are running.
Personally I don't see myself upgrading. I don't want to pay the $10 extra sprint charges now (yes $10 is much better than AT&T/Verizon's tiered plans!!) However although a 3VO is cool, thats all it is. My hero running nightlys and overclocked does everything I could want (except smooth angry birds ).

A are you able to customize the weather lock screen at all?? I go to settings then choose my apps hit apply but no go. But when I choose any other lock screen it all my selected icons are there. So wondering if you customized your at all??

I swapped out the icons on my weather lockscreen no problem.
***Edit***What I can't do, is get my red XDA icon to show up I'll have to reopen the .apk tomorrow and see where the icon is hiding for this phone, but it's clearly not where I'm used to finding it. I changed it fine, resigned the .apk no problem and got it to install......but with the same ugly brown icon.

You're right Shel. Last time I check, there was over 7000 registered nightly hero's. So it'll be here for a while.

Nah, I haven't even tried. Those four are sufficient. Everything else is set up like I had on my hero, other than the goofy ass dock we have to use now. Considering switching back over to LP+.

Yeah, RS guy updated it while I was looking at cases. Still, it seems the one you do for Watch improved my battery a bit. Jury is still out on that, though.

A lot of ol' Hero users have been going over to the 3VO. I, on the other hand, have been debating whether or not to go the 'Sensation 4G' route.

2.3.4 - Screen Animation/Transition is Horrendous

normal android devices, and the atrix on 2.2, use some standard nice screen transitions. to enter an app, zoom in. entering each subsequent screen the page swoops from the right. and backing out the screen swoops back to the left.
now on 2.3.4, EVERY single transitino is a zoom in/out, and i have never seen such an ugly horrendous idea before. anyone know if there is a way to bring the device back to the stock method? maybe in custom ROM with frameworks edit or something?
just can't comprehend how someone thought "hey, this looks great, let's change it to this way". am i crazy?

Yeh it sucks, but you'll get used to it...

Yes.
But to fix your "problem" go to settings, display, then animation. Pick no animation to get rid of any transition. I don't think there is a way to get back to froyo transitions.
And now that I think about it, I don't remember it ever swooping left or right. I had a zoom in to enter an app and a hard cut home when leaving an app.

Oh it swooped left and right, I just confirmed this on 2.2. Its the standard android way. We read left to right. Right is forward, left is backwards, its a very valuable ui element to all android phones flow.
Of course for now I disabled animations, but that looks bad too. I just can't believe it, I truly am blown away by this.

I don't c anything wrong with them

We just need HUGE thread about how everyone hates little things in the new GB update. stickied at that matter. cause its so important to post about how you dont like the animations in GB.
XDA ATRIX forums were plagued with "when is GB coming" now its plagued with "this looks ugly" "i dont like this in GB". I'm sure it wasn't easy for moto to make this at all. if you guys like the old boring crap on froyo them go back to froyo.
Theme it, change it, learn to Dev, etc.

I get it, but I am saying that I've not hated something so much and been this annoyed at something in the last 10 years. I literally hate it with a passion and ruins the experience totally for me. Its that bad for me.
Edit: and yes I do have dev experience and will see how if possible to add it back so but this isn't a simple theme solution as the transitions are likely part of the moto frameworks or similar. I'll definitely look and try to learn more. I committed a couple hundred lines of code to the cyanogen repository last year and it got merged in to final, but I'm not so great in the grand scheme of these awesome devs.

yeah, all smartass aside jokes. im sure we will get someone to make animations. usually takes a while.
need stable ROM, then themes, then hacks/mods, then little things like animations. usually how it goes. we dont have a completely stable (custom) ROM. that i know of that is. like MIUI, CM7.

wow buddy you need to not stress so much off of phone animations. turn them off or load a different rom.

lol man... I think you need you need to find something more meaningful in your life if this is what makes your blood boil.

It was a little exaggerated obviously. But I do hate it immensely. It would be a good project to change it back.
I'm surprised this thread got even any opposition. Surely the other android phones you guys used had this. There isn't a single android yet like this till the atrix on 2.3.4. First of its kind.

I don't like the stupid animations in gingerbread,too but going to get used to with hate or love.

CognAtrix has standard animations....

Well for reference, gingerbread on all devices uses the standard method. Zoom in/out for the entry and exit point of the app to home screen, with all screen changes inside the app swoops left and right for forwards and backwards. Only moto changed to all zooms on gb, and they had it right on froyo.
All zooms actually messes you up a bit if you're doing some fast navigating around the device.

I have had one for 5 days, and let me tell you, it is the greatest phone ever made! It is like she and I are Scnchronized! An extension of my Self....

I find it funny how blackberry did one simple thing others still have not, the ability to change the icon theme.

Well engineered and thought out. Just what Android needed.

I love it too! Something different in the best of ways, but yet familiar.
I actually dig the implementation of the Hub. I mean it can use a bit of work, but it's setup to be a success.

I just have to say, Hai there @MRFEeze574 Nice of you to join us here in the Priv forum, lol.

OH YAH!! This is the baddest phone on the planet. Held my breath for Droid 5 then went to Q10 just for the keys...Its H key died and They had a Priv in Stock! so I am A very very happy Clam....

I really hope this brings them back from the dead, I'll always have a soft-spot for my first bold. Having said that they were skirting by on bbm and not much else for a long time so it'll be interesting to see how this pans out. Having said that, the name is just awful. I hate to think how many overpaid marketing guys & man hours it took to come up with 'Priv'.

I just don't like the white. I hope substratum team can work there magic. I'm sure they will. As long as I can make it dark I can be happy.

Just for laughs... let's say this actually is the final design and look. It still goes right along with the rounded, colorful, flat, and simple Material Design that Google had implemented way back in 2014 for 5.0 Lollipop. So this argument of "copy" is invalid.
Also: Without Google there is no Android, and without Android there is no Substratum. Know your roots!

You do realize that a good portion or some of the elements are most likely placeholder elements, right? With a really early preview there are always going to be missing features, themes, etc. This is essentially an Alpha release, which means maybe 0.01 percent of users will ever see this version in person.
An example of a placeholder would be how Amazon deals with video game release dates for games that have no official release window at the time. They like to use the "December 31" with 20XX year as a placeholder until the game has an official release date. Does that mean every game comes out on December 31st of every year? No. Many companies use placeholder text, images, and even themes until the final version/product is ready. The final product may look similar to early builds, but there is a lot of time between early stages and consumer release. Expect some changes, tweaks, and other visual elements in later versions at the very least.

And that's all it is my opinion. What I don't like you might love. And I remember the first preview of O. It didn't change much. Actually the preview was better. had more options.

I wish more people would think like you! Trying to make one centralized theme that fits everyone is not going to happen. Some like colorful, some like dark, some like rounded, some like squared. Everything is all about choice, personal preference, and opinion. Same goes for smartphones... trying to make a device that has the look, feel, and features that will appeal to everyone is next to impossible. There will always be someone who disagrees, doesn't like, or prefers something else. It's human nature, and part of what makes us an individual. :good:

You're absolutely right and it seems Google's trying to take that away from us little by little going the iPhone route. I hope not
