Upgrading 8525

Hey,
I'm sure this has been posted 1,000 times, but I am wondering a couple things about upgrading from my current Hermes. It is really buggy and seems to be failing(the LCD has problems, etc)
Should I wait for the HTC Touch Pro? Money isn't really a factor for me, so I don't mind a steep price on a phone, but with mine currently starting to fail, I would love to get a new one before school starts in mid-August(I surf the net all day in class ).
So what are my best options from now or before Mid-August if anything is coming out that soon? Should I just go for the Kaiser?

Are there any other forums? I keep posting my problem with my phone, and I have posted asking what I can upgrade since there is no one to help with the problem, and I also don't get anything helpful there. I try to look it up, but most of the websites are geared towards what is best for kids and casual users instead of people looking for better devices that can be useful

I mean it'd be helpful if you were in the right subsection

this is for the HTC Hermes/8525, they should help you there. if not then check the wiki. thanks.

Yes, I have posted there, and no replies to my problem(posted twice, months apart) or my upgrading help really.
Thanks anyways man, I just thought this section may have some traffic and/or help available, my bad for posting it in the wrong section

New to the site.

Hi all im new to the site been reading various topics and all seems very technical. Have understood bits used to flash phones back in the old Nokia 3310 days, but lost track of the phone market place for a while. Now so much has changed!!
Anyway Ive got an upgrade due next weekend and have been tossing up between the Iphone and the HD2. Love the look and hardware of the HD2 its just the WM that im slightly concerned about. Anyone able to convince me the HD2 is the way to go
Heard rumours of WM7 coming some say the HD2 will get the update some say it wont, Can anyone confirm?
Also are there any tutorials for dummies on flashing Roms??
Sorry for the Noob questions, hope ive posted in the right section.

Welcome aboard
Have a look on the Wiki, locate your HTC device and you´ll find all you need!
Read, Search, respect and Enjoy!

Welcome and enjoy your stay!
You'll find one advantage in the WM platform is the helpfulness found in communities such as this one. If you enjoy playing with and customizing your phones to suit your exact tastes you are in the right place

Thanks for the welcome guys, been reading though and there are some very helpful and extremely clever folk on here!!! Think Ive been convinced that HD2 with Roms from here is a winner!

[Q] Im a complete ' dont know what I'm doing' ... HELP

Im so frustrated, I just binned my Iphone wanting to go back to HTC (HD2), bought a stock windows unlocked phone but as Im a guy who gets nerved by doing things I dont understand Im now struggling to convert it to andriod, are there people around in the UK who could sort flash the software for me if I were to post it to them, or meet up for it to be done??...Ive my fingers crossed

why do you want that? Windows is also nice?
And make sure not to get scammed...

So rather than posting in the HD2 Android specific forums, you post in the general forums? Anyway, this guide makes it as simple as is physically possible. Honestly, with an HD2 you don't have to worry about bricking it at all, you should really be fine as long as you read properly.
@manmad, he means Windows Mobile 6.5 rather than WP7. The former is a crappy OS with tonnes of lag and no apps. The latter is a brilliant OS which is sleek and fluid, but sadly still lacks apps.

hi!

my name is dale,
sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum, ive been looking for a newby forum and wanted to introduce myself however its friday and im starting to get tipsy! this site has helped me upgrade my battery pack, and internal memory on my htc hd7, and even replace my screen! i just wanted to say thank you and contribute where possible. ive been looking at wp8 and think its awesome! considering my 3 year old wp7 keeps up with quite a few modern phones with its mods i cant wait to see what the wp8 does. i just wanted to say THANK YOU XDA! no one will even try to argue with me about phones anymore... they only know how to buy them.
i read on a random thread while looking for the newby forum that i can take 10 questions that will show m not a spammer, would anyone mind helping me out with that? this site is HUGE! and also does anyone know of a screachingly fast single core processor/motherboard that will fit my phone? its about due for an upgrade too! or if someone has found a twin core+ that will work with windows 7 devices i'm open for ideas! no unlocking though, im not willing to deal with all of the glitches that come with that.
thanks,
dale

any dev want my old HTC ONE S?

@coal686 I am wondering why this thread was closed so quick? No time to respond to learn more about the Dev who took this phone? @Aiuspaktyn doesn't appear to be a Developer who took the phone so it would be nice to learn more about him since his forum posts show him to be a member for quite a while, since 2006 with very little activity.

Hi troll, I already have a One S Ville but it's my father's main phone, from 2 weeks I'm working on a ROM porting but without this phone HTC One M8 porting is difficult and very slow... what you need???

well I may be wrong, but for getting a free phone anyone can say that he is a developer and he is porting. If @Aiuspaktyn is real developer and have potentials for developing (which I doubt seeing his past posts and threads), it will be cleared over time.
sorry no offense, just an opinion
