Hi guys,
I have a Nexus One running 2.2 and was thinking about swapping it for a HTC HD2 and then putting Froyo on it myself. I like the fact that the HD2 has a bigger screen and pretty much the same spec as the Nexus One.
Does anyone know how the HTC HD2 runs after putting Froyo in it? Is it as fast as the N1 with Froyo? Is everything working like callls Wifi etc.? Would you do the swap I am about to do or do you think I'm mad?
Cheers,
M
I honestly hated my HD2. Good luck
Cheers Wylker......can I ask why though? What handset you got now man?

i did tried it on my HD2 last night . software still have alot not respone error not smooth running yet. had to force stop alot the screen look washed out compare to nexus one battery not recognized. and it running hot. i did see the advance of having larger screen thought.
Thank you tiensinh99. Do you have a link for a tutorial on how to put Froyo on it??
Larger screen... if you prefer that, that's probably the only thing that makes it better than the Nexus. The biggest downside is it being a windows based phone. Wait for galaxy S to come out for T-Mobile. Or go for EVO if you want a bigger screen, that would be a smarter way to go.
If I was to start all over though, and had a choice between those devices ... I'd buy a nexus one once again.
the instruction how to install is in the LEO general forum. also there r the dual boot intruction.
samsung galaxy S already came out on tmobile. and i'm still choice N1 over HD2 every time.
Cheers guys.....I think I have my answer.

Wasn't there another thread where someone was looking to swap his HD2 for an Nexus One?
Maybe these 2 should meet?

thinking of trading nexus one for iphone 3gs and htc hd2, both phones are unlocked. Would this trade be worth doing? I ve used an unlocked, jailbroken iphone before pretty solid, wouldnt mind playing with the hd2 for awhile.
I couldn't stand using my friends HD2 for more than 5 minutes.
wouldn't trade my nexus for that phone even if it could transform into optimus prime...
or build an island and transform into a jet and fly me to that island.. i don't care.
I would not do that. While it is neat to see android running on a a wm phone, it would never be nearly as stable as a real android phone. I had a touch diamond and I could never use android on a daily basis, had awful battery life and all kind of other problems
Hi Everyone,
I have a question that I need some help with, here is my situation:
I’ve had an HD2 for about a year which was running a Froyo with Sense ROM, and smashed it by accident. I now have a brand new insurance replacement Nexus One sitting on my desk.
What I really want is a Desire HD (pretty much what I was using earlier…) so I’m considering selling the N1 and picking one of those up (I like the extra screen size, and new ROM with cached maps, htcsense.com etc…). Does this sound like a good idea, or am I better off just keeping the N1 and hoping someone comes up with a hacked ROM to include these featues…? Is the N1 better than Desire HD in any way?
Cheers
One of the reasons (just one - there were many!) that I got rid of my Samsung Vibrant was how much the Nexus One seems to be holding onto it's value. Look out on Ebay - it's still selling for around $450 for a used one and $600+ for a new one. After having been out this long I don't know of any other phones that have held onto their value that long!
You can try Desire HD port, it exists.
If what you want is Desire HD - go and buy Desire HD. Nexus is developer phone, and there's no other current phone like it, if you want to mess with it a lot. But as a phone, if you're not interested in messing with it, I believe Desire HD will suit your needs better.
if you like to mod and generally f*ck with ur phone, keep N1
if your happy with stock rom and just play with themes and apps, i would say go Desire HD
i have been tempted by Desire HD, rather tempted, but i constantly mod my phone. so i just cant give up N1

This sounds idiotic idea, selling better phone and buying worser.
Look this is desire z overclocked to hyper fast 1.4mhz http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813749 .
Just install evil d's desire hd rom, the camera and hotspot are not working but that will surely be added in a future update

1. There's no such thing as "worser"
2. "overclocked to hyper fast 1.4MHZ" LMFAO
I'm attempting to replace my HTC HD2 that is running 2.3 and netbook. That is, I'm going to try using a tablet only. I'm a web surfer/emailer/texter and that's about it. How hard could this be? Here's what I want:
Android 2.3 (Honeycomb is fine, too.)
7" Screen (that doesn't totally suck)
3g
GPS
Bluetooth
I don't need speed. I just want to be able to use it like a normal phone, but with a bluetooth headset.
What's out there? I'll even consider made in China junk...if someone can convince me that it's not total junk. I'm sure others like myself (giant sized hands) would want this rather odd size for a daily use phone, no?
Right now, the closest thing that looks acceptable is the Viewsonic ViewPad 7". Mixed reviews, but I'm assuming at some point Gingerbread and overclocking will help it out.
please, please...dont consider china junk...
i totally agreed with viewpad 7" choice
hi
yes i agree..............
A non-USA Galaxy Tab?

7" phone? Wtf, you must be a giant for real...
Samsung Galaxy tab (P1000). I think it's by far the best 7" choice.
One other thing: if you want to use it as a phone, you can exclude Honeycomb tablets, since Honeycomb does not support phone functionality.
Thanks for the info!
Why non-US Galaxy Tab? I've got friends in England and Australia who visit here often, and could bring one over for me.
Its the one with the phone enabled modem.

Ouch! $600 USD for the UK version new. Yes the dollar become the peso?
I believe the 7" Asus MEMO tablet is supposed to be capable of voice calls, plus it should have better specs that the Galaxy Tab (720p screen and a dual-core CPU if memory serves).

The Dell Streak 7" does all that...
+1 on the Dell Streak, very good device indeed.
Isn't 7" a bit excessive for a phone?
I chose the Desire S over the Desire HD because 4.3" was too big, I couldn't imagine trying to take a call on a 7" screened handset =P

Exactly...
He said that he will use it with a headset so I don't see how the size is a big factor. I have the sensation with a 4.3 inch screen and while it is much better than the g1 I came from, I still wouldn't mind a bigger screen.
Hey guys, get whatever 3g tab you want, and install skype, use with a BT headset. all your problems solved.
samsung galaxy tab love it as my all in one
7" is fine for me, for a phone. I have big pockets. Non issue.
Soooooo...
I use google voice. I could use the standard phone and text, I suppose. To go to Skype would be a pain.
Does the Dell 7 really work as a phone?
Researching...researching.
I'm wondering if the Honeystreak rom here has a phone app. Couldn't find an answer.
Hello, I have an HTC HD7 16 GB with the Nextgen + Rom 3.4 and I want install Android SD in my phone but that's only the HTC HD2 and not my phone has an Android Rom.
And that's the reason why I really want an Android Rom for the HTC HD7.
I can test the Beta of the Android Rom you will making if you want help us, the users of the HTC HD7.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm French.
Sorry for this but...
Again and again...
Have you red all the post related to an android rom on the HD7? did you used the search feature?
Iif you don't like Windows Phone, just sell the HD7 and buy any android phone that fits your taste, they aren't expensive if you know hoe to look for... because the only Android roms for the HD7 are Chinese and the aren't sharing how to do it, they charge for the process.
Do yourself a favor... sell the HD7 and get any android phone you like.

There are no android roms for HD7. It is still work in progress and nowhere near to running an android .
There are only android roms for HD2 which is a winmobile 6x device , the predecessor of HD7. i tcan also run wp7 roms. i fu want to run 3 types of OS then get the HTC Hd2
i beleive u are referring to this video here .
This is not Hd7 and it i snot even a HTC phone, it is cheap chinese knockoff
if u came across of any youtube videos of supposed HD7 running android is fake. It is not HD7 but a chinese clone of HD7 running android software.
Much like those clones of iphone and galaxy s3s u find everywhere in asian markets.
I live in an asian country and there are clone iphones, ipads and Galasxy S3s being sold here
HI all,
I'm thinking of buying a new phone. Currently I own the Samsung Galaxe Ace 2.
I feel this phone was overpriced at the time I bought it and never was really happy about it.
From what I hear the Moto G (2nd gen) seems like a very good buy and I wanted to hear from the users (you guys) what you think about it.
How is the battery life? Is web-browsing smooth? (My current phone is veeeery slow in loading webpages, even with CyanogenMod).
Can anyone also tell me what the WiFi-chipset of this phone is?
Would you guys currently recommend this phone as the best buy in it's price category (183 euro here in Belgium) or are there any alternatives I should look at?
I've also looked at the Moto G 4G, it's an older phone and the 4G connection here in Belgium isn't that good.
Thanks!
Another question: I'm not in a hurry to buy a new phone. Would it be worth it to wait a few months for an upgrade to this phone? Or is there another better deal coming out anywhere soon?
