a big factor is how you set up your phone once you're running android. to give you an idea, when i first fiddled with android on my hd2, my battery drain was MASSIVE. as in you charge it full and it would go down to 50% in the morning. now, i'm very pleased with my set up as it's given me the best battery results as compared to when i was running wp6.5. to give you an idea, once my unit is fully charged, in the morning the battery indicator says it's at 98%. not bad at all considering she was on standby for more than 8 hours. my current set up:
rom: chuckyrom lite
radio: 2.15
android: mdj 4.6
cheers

Depends on how you use your phone. The android roms for hd2 are quite god already.

Best Battery Life :)

Hey Guyz I was just wondering which WM6 Wizard Rom has the best Battery live of what uve tested so far
In My oppinion, Core 2 is the best regarding battery life
What do yout think about Mun_rus's ARTM with 10.2.0.8_WWE? been testing it for a couple of days but, even dough the performance of this rom is outstanding i think i have a battery drain issue... i;l further test it and see what i can come up with
Anyway.. my first post on this forum... i've been reading this forums a lot in the past 4 months and i must say WOW You Guyz ruuul!! Keep Up the good work
-In my oppinion the new rom 5.2.318(build 15342.0.0.0) is best battery life.
I agree with the previous reply the new (official rom) is the best for battery life and otherw
Yup, i agree.,.... whell se how bug free this new releaase turns out
core 2.0 works great for me
i have a better performace than my operator windows mobile 5
The Newest WM6 ROM definetly has the best battery life -
On the older faria (the real thing) after a normal day's work (9 hours after unplug) I'd have about 65-80%. Last two days I haven't been below 88-90% in same time period!! (faria wm6#2)
XDA Mobile 6 has the best battery life by far....of ANY of these... I put a guarantee with that.
so far ive used farias wm6 the first one, core 2.0n, and xda mobile. and id have to say that core had the best.

Android or Windows Mobile ?

Hi,
im searchin for a new mobile... i wanted to buy it in the next 2 or 3 weeks, but there is a big problem:
i dunno what mobile would be the best for me :S
I am thinking about Windows mobile and Android ... The windows mobile phones i have used till now are quite nice, but no one really made me fully happy ... i always tried to port other interfaces and so on my lg ks20 and htc diamond.
i´ve seen that android has a quite nice interface with very good touch friendly options...
my windows mobile candidate would be of course the HTC Leo , what the android canditate would be is just open till now ...
I often browse in Wifi networks , like facebook, gmail, icq, etc. and therefor i am searching for an mobile with good browsing quality ... what camera there is ... i dont care about that crap ... just being comfortable in networks , chatting , sharing files and so on...
Hope you can help me ..
else any questions ? just post, i will directly answer.
See ya

//EDIT: I saw now some androids and i think nexus one and desire are very good but , what is the difference between them ?
Hi,
In term of memory management Windows mobile is far way better and for the interface also you have a lot of ui for windows mobile that are now very close to the Android style that you are searching for(if not even better).
I first bought an HTC Hero and was very happy the first two months but then it became so boring because of that lack of programs for it.
Now I am on a Leo and I can assure you that the moment you will put this device in your hand,you will be impressed by his speed.
Hurry up before the HD3
what about the htc desire ?

Here it is in a nutshell,
Android is the new kid on the block, rough around the edges, not fully functional yet, short on apps, in dire need of updates, but with the genuine potential to be an actual iPhone killer ( hence Apple vs HTC suit solely filed to slow down Android ). Android is on it's way, but not going to be great until, after whatever Android phone you buy now, is old and tired.
Windows Mobile is tried and true, tons of free apps, full bluetooth functionality, full Exchange and Office functionality, easy to sync, fully customizable to your needs, but it is what it is and will not get any better. Whatever you buy now, will not be upgradeable to Windows Phone 7 Series, and WP7S would appear to be that " make it or break it " for
Windows Mobile.
In short ? Android = up and coming, but not quite there yet. Windows Mobile = Already mature, but could be on the down slide soon.
If you are living for today, Windows Mobile hands down. Come this fall ? Phones with Android 3.0 ? Windows Phone 7 Series ? Who knows.
The Nexus One is Googles Android device made by HTC, The Desire " was " the Droid Eris, but has since been reassigned to the HTC branded Nexus One.
@die_Leuchte: Danke für die videos, ich hab mich entschieden / Thanks for the Videos , now ive decided what to take
@denco7: i know it is a nutshell, but if i see what android showed on mwc for example, it seems that it has millions of apps and is just now the iphone killer ^^
just crap what they are sayin ?

Add to that limited Bluetooth capabilities and ( important to me ) limited M$ Exchange and Office capabilities it just isn't mature enough yet to be a serious multitasking phone for business.
Don't get me wrong, I think Android is the future of Mobile OS' . WP7s is going to have to do a lot to convince me otherwise. And I am leaning towards an Android phone after Android 3.0 and WP7s come out, just from what I have seen of Android 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1 on the Nexus, I just still don't think that it is capable yet.
so you think that if you would buy a smartphone now, you would choose winmo...
if you could buy it in 2 years , you would choose maybe android ... right?
Do not be fooled by a shiny interface just like I was.Besides what you are seeing on an Android phone is the Sense UI made by HTC.
If I am not wrong the Nexus one doesn't have the Sense UI.
I am not telling that Android(in reality Linux) is not a good phone.On the contrary you will find it with very useful applications but in some cases just like what happened to me you will not have a wide range of choice for the same application.
For Ex:If you want a Virtual Keyboard,because Android is still new you will have only 2 or 3 keyboards(maybe there is more now) to choose from but on Windows Mobile you have more than 15 competitors to choose from with years of experience in that field .
So,
Android is for you if you can be satisfied with what you have.
Windows is for you if you are thirsty of applications
Hope this helped
thirsty guy
well, i always need to get more apps to have another quit unuseful thing on my mobile, like wifi router or so
then i take the leo ^^
EDIT: @forcefield: i recieved an email , that swype for android is out your problem is solved now
Here is a quote from another german forum
there is no "better" one, some like winmo and some android more ...
before i buyed my new phone i thinked about the hd2 and the milestone... i choosed the milestone and i dont regret nothing !
looking at the amount of apps i would choose android because its just much easier and uncomplicated .. with more apps than windows mobile.
i dont know whats the difference between the desire and the nexus one , but you can wait until they get on the german market to see more information..
pointing on the battery strength maybe its disapointing but i have to be honest, its normally just between 1 and 3 days depending on how you use your phone.

i still think that windows mobile has more apps.. but the problem is , they are just widespread in the www.
battery: an issue what wont be solved in 500 years.

another question ... i you would have the choice between touch pro 2 aka rhodium and hd 2 aka leo , which one would you take ?
with reasons please =) ...

I'm suprised that no one has brought this up, but, if you got a Windows phone, don't you always have the option of running Android on it? I don't think it works the other way around. Please, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.

Android proted to WM is still a port. It runs within WM and some of the features of Android don't work and some of the features of the phone won't work with the Android port. It will never be as fast or as smooth as Android running natively.

I would take the Leo, faster processor, bigger more beautiful display, more ram. The only plus for the Rhodium is the slide out keyboard.
But just remember that neither phone is going to be upgradable to Windows Phone 7 Series.
of course take the LEO!!!
I own Touch Diamond 2 (which is basically like TP2 without the slide out keyboard) and it's really great and everything. But then I also have access to Samsung Omnia II with 800 Mhz CPU and it's running so much faster and more smoothy. And the big display is insane!! Then go figure because HD2 even comes with 1 GHz!!!! IMO it would be stupid to buy the OLD TP2 with only 528 Mhz.....

No, there's no fully working Android version for any WM phone. They all have bugs and stuff not working.

Is There An Android 2.2 Install For The HTC PRO 2 (Sprint)

I bought an HTC Pro 2 yesterday, and Windows Mobile is horrible. It freezes, using the internet is nothing like an Iphone, and this morning it cut off by itself and would not power on at all no matter what, and the battery was full. I had to take out the battery and reinsert it to get the phone to come on. Soft Reset would not work.
Is there a way to install Android 2.2 on my phone?
Thanks
dude, trust me, the TP2 is great device. Find a nice WM ROM and install it, this will fix most of your problems.
as for surfing, I find Opera Mobile more than capable...it's fast and displays content in great way. Opera mini is a great alternative too.
Regarding your question: check this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=589
you can dual booth WM & Android on your TP2
I personally like WM more. It's much easier to customize.
I recently installed Android on my kaiser, and I'm starting to like it..maybe I'll install it later on my HD2 and see how it really works on fast device...
Remember that these ports will not be without any problems, they are not made by HTC, so is you are looking for stability, go for a good WM ROM. This will be the best thing to do.
Check out ppcgeeks.com, they have a ton of CDMA ROMs for windows mobile, I personally have BigNaDads Sense ROM and it is my favorite by a long shot, very stable and comes with alot of things preconfigured....

[Q]

im using a htc hd2 leo..and i've changed the os from windows 6.5 to android 2.2 nand..but the battery life on android is very poor..how can i extend the battery life?

[Q] Wm 6.5 on EVO Shift 4G !

Hi Everybody !
you all know how strange it might be some requests form your boss but this is the most strange one !
My Boss has a system that work on WM 6.5 only and doesn't work on WM 7 and he requested that I should Provide him with 40 New WM 6.5 devices !
you know that they are not available currently So I figured out that I should buy new WM 7 Devices and Flash it Back to WM 6.5 !
I think theoretically this is possible but have anyone tried it ?!!!
I want to Try it on EVO Shift 4G Device , Could anyone tell me what the steps I need to do that ?
any other suggested Devices ? I only want it to be New ,with QWERTY keypad and I can install WM 6.5 on it !
Thank you all in Advance.
Evo Shift isn't a Windows Mobile device.
Windows Mobile 7 doesn't exist, it's called Windows Phone 7 and it's an entirely different thing than Windows Mobile.
Flashing WM 6.5 isn't as easy as just putting it in and flashing like a rom, you would need to write a supportive kernel with drivers and some way get the resolution changed. This would all be hand(dedicated coder) done since the parts inside android phone's are basically generations new compared to any Windows Mobile Phone.
thank you for explanation
Buy the HD2 best wm phone and you can put Android on it

You can pick up Touch Pro 2's pretty cheap. They can be OC'd to almost 1gHz. I used to run mine at 900mHz all day and night. It was upgraded to WinMo 6.5 . Later on I ran Android on it for quite a while. Dual boot Android, and WinMo 6.5 . On Android it was OC'd to 1gHz stable. So you might want ot look into that. Plus they're still pretty popular, so you can get help with them.

The problem is I cannot find 40 piece of Touch pro 2 from a trusted Retailer !
If you give Sprint a call direcly. I'm sure you could get them from thier refurb department. Might even come with a warrenty. At the very least they can probably point you toward someone who can help you. Also, last time I checked the site. They still sold them new. Been a while though.
