    look whos here...thought you departed to android forums with your SGS aka 3GS :P

    mmm well if your in dublin (most bigger towns have some shops that do unlocking too) im sure you can quickly can get it unlocked for a tenner or something since the phone is already a year+ old. you can also request your carrier to provide you a key for unlocking though it takes a while :)

    I have, still keep an eye on this thread ;):D

    Loving my SGS... :D

    well you should be aware that t-mobile is a bit different from the normal HD2. some roms are incompatible with the normal leo roms ;)

    though for now i suggest you install this :) as well as CHT editor :) it will make your life easier :D

    cht is the best thing that happened to HD2...and the new version is the **** :)

    In comparison, I prefer the SGS, each to their own though :)

    guess we can post this here :)HD7

    not much of an upgrade though since it kinda shares the same specs as HD2 only high ress v recording and slcd. everything else is pretty much the same :(

    ok,got the phone few days ago...
    all ok,quite bigger screen than expected !
    WinMo is not bad,doing what is supposed to do,few issues with Exchange due to SSL Certificate !
    quality ok,GUI ok,battery (still) ok ! WiFi great,GPS with iGo great !

    not sure why i want to install another OS or start changing around the current OS ? !

    what piss me off is dependency of myself to the smartphone:for a short while i wasn't able to make phone calls due to not knowing phone numbers of my wife,kids or friends..few calls missed and not sure who that person was when called them back....missed few reminders due to calendar ! that is outrageous how 'linked' / ' dependent' i am on the fcuking phone !

    well you dont have to change any os :) just if your browse your way to htc.com and download updates for starters would do to fix all the bugs and some extra content is added sometimes :)

    yeah windows mobile calendar is diabolical. but after a while you get used to it :) you can use the sense calendar tab its a bit easier that way

    Thanks for tip !

    I did the eregistration,found ROMs update,typed in my device serial number and it says that the update is not valid for my device ...despite being in the HTC HD2 section !!

    Also,my device info...

    ROM 1.43.206.4

    ROM Date 11/06/09

    Radio v 2.04.50.22_2

    ...being lower / older than the ones listed on their website :ROM English: 3.14.405.2 / Release Date: 2010-10-11 ! !

    Also,bought an O2 new phone just to find that was in stock since june or november 2009 !??


    LaterEdit:
    search with my ROM version and i'm not the only one here...
    http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=209705


    OK later,i found this one,it looks that all ROm updates are being done from and for O2 UK version ONLY !!
    http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=960&news_id=676

    Serial Number : HT9AZNW00968 (o2 always sucks at providing updates)

    And go here to download it :)

    Suggest read the instructions first too :) All settings and info are gonna be wiped for the update.

    You can backup your phone contacts and etc by either using it over the cloud with MS sync center or use this app to back it up :)

    Thanks for that,i'm much obliged for it...i'm dloading now,but before 'action' is it ok to do it even if is not for O2 network !?



    i've installed the update for O2 and is working ok.now i'm upgrading the radio to version 2.12.50.02_2,i've read is the best compromise speed/battery !waiting for battery to charge at over 50%... :(

    i've had a look at the Prestige-X project...i'm still reading and i may go for the Ultimate version,but still looking to catch the diferences between them !

    I feel now like years ago,when i got the Dreambox in the house,under telly...no one was able to watch properly TV couse always i had to restart,test,install,reinstall various images and pieces together ! nice,good times...now i've got a phone...did i said phone ? sorry ,mobile computer !!time to have fun !! is not a phone to make phone calls but is a device to stay connected to PC and install updates and other stuff... :)

    do have in mind you have to have HSPL 2 instal any custom rom...btw prestige x rom is great. But the developers team has fallen behind and no updates are being released.

    btw theres no problem using that. ive used the same thing the first before i hacked the HD2 (was scared to brick it at the time :))

    btw warning : flashing roms kinda becomes an addiction for a few weeks cause you wanna try find the best one for you :)

    What are the apps like for the HD2? I understand that windows mobile has the least amount of apps after apple and android?

    it has a fraction of what apple store and android store has but it has the most needed apps for me anyway

    though windows mobile does have around 5 app stores :) though majority of developers never even bothered to put their apps on the market. Main marketplaces are Windows Marketplace and OMarket.


    Though having said that, the magic behind Windows Mobile lies in XDA Forum (which can include hours and hours of browsing just when you join it :D)

    aslong as i have NFS Shift, Tetris and Monopoly im happy :D otherwise i can use android

    well you dont have to.

    tbh you dont even install it as it doesn't touch any part of your phone :) you download it :) copy the android folder onto your SD card and just launch it and it turns off windows mobile and loads android and when you want to go back to windows you just restart the phone

    why...mmm well WinMo is a pretty old operating system as the UI is ancient too. Only HTC Phones have it polished up to make it finger friendly and usable. As on android theres more apps and the original menu is far simpler as compared to windows mobile.

    Have you made a trip to xda HD2 forum?

    If you did i suggest reading on this. Its kind of a must and its all in one place ;) the basics pretty much

    well if it doesnt have a booting screen picture black and white screen appears with haret booting android and saying what processes it is launching...give it some time and mess around with it :)

    its good to know whats on android and whats on win mo...cause certain things on android are nicer than windows and vice versa

    I had a screen with black and white lines all over it as well, it looked like nothing was happening. I left it sitting by the PC and came back after a cup of coffee and it was up and running.

    It can take up to 30 minutes to work for the first time!
