I have a HTC HD2 for like 5-6 months now. It is a excellent phone but since with WinMo 6.5 it's like having a genius mind with down syndrome. My main thing is to be able to watch streaming video. I know they have some browsers but most suck and dont work too well. Sorry Skyfire. Plus uZard is always crashing on me. I want to installed Android and have no clue where to start. Seems like they are like 100 different ways to do it. I just want they proper and sure way without bricking my phone. Please no trolling how I'm a newb or I should have got an EVO cause sprint sucks in my area for service and I don't like most other carriers like Verizon. Help is appreciated.
Why not head over to the HD2 forum. All the info will be there for you.

I have been reading over these forums for a few days and have came to the conclusion that I need help from more experienced people.
I currently have a blackjack II, it serves me well but i would like something I can "play with more". Plus for the life of me I cannot get tmobile working properly on it.
So here is my question out of the Tmobile phones which is currently the best of skype and messaging. Thats all I am concerned about and call quality. being able to mod it is a plus since I get bored very fast.
i was looking at the wing, I really like the tilt and know pretty well from reading how to sim unlock. But once again theres the stupid tmobile settings.
Sorry for the newbie question. i have used search and the phone selection database but also wanted a more opinion of actual users. BTW my price range is around $250 give or take.
Thanks to anyone that can help

stupid t-moblie settings? I'm a tmoblie user and ive had no problems with the tilt, wizard, or wing.
I haven't had any issues setting up any other phone other then the Blackjack II. Sorry if I seemed incompetient in my posting of "stupid settings" But it can be rather frustrating.
I've been looking for a new phone for the past month, and today I have to make my decision.
For those of you who have a Samsung Propel Pro, or have used it for a while, I've got a few questions for you guys.
How is it?
Is it easy to put apps and other things on it?
How do you connect it to the computer?
Any annoying bugs on it?
Im not really a business man since i'm still in high school, should I still go with this phone? I've looked at other phones and they're either cheap looking or touch screen, which I don't really like since its sort of hard to text and can be sort of laggish at times..
Welcome to forums
We are an HTC devices only forum, so my recommendation is:
Go for an HTC device!!
I would go with an HTC PureT, and thats like the only HTC phone there is for AT&, but its a little bit over my budget :\ Could you PM me a WinMo based forum?
winmodevs.com
In fact a lot of non HTC users members are on that site
have a look on marketplace section
you can get sometimes a real good deal!
If you like to flash roms & customize, then go with HTC & XDA
There arent as many people there as there are over here lol.
Hey guys, my name is Sean and I'm from Pittsburgh PA.
So I believe I found the right place here at xda-dev. I just got a Touch Pro2 with sprint. The guy I bought the phone from offered me one with newer firmware but I told him I wanted the one with the oldest (in case some vulnerabilities were patched), so I think it is WM 6.1 or something, definitely not 6.5. Anyways, when I go to setting -> about is says TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38416.1; what other information can I find as to my version that may be of use to me?
I am sorry I am such a newb at this. Basically, I want to get the most out of my phone as possible (hell, it cost me 300$ [no rebate since I have an older data plan]) and do not even know where to start. There is so much information on these forums I am having a hard time making sense out of it. If anyone could give me some information as to how to figure out what I can do or some recommendations I would very much appreciate it. Thanks
-Sean
edit: I have been looking through the wiki and faqs so please give me a bit more insight other than steering me to their direction. Thanks again
I suggest you look on ppcgeeks for more cdma based TP2 information. Most of the people on the tp2 section there are sprint users.
thanks
thanks for the advice. ill check it out.
you're going to want to upgrade to 6.5, you can do so much more! and check out ppcgeeks.com.
So a few days back I installed mightyrom and about 20 cabs. Wasn't that difficult once i figured it out. Thanks for pointing me to ppcgeeks.
That's about it, but, what kind of stuff do you guys put on your tp2?
my personal favorite is slingbox, nothing like having a portable cable box that makes calls .
is it possible to play netflix's watch instantly on the tp2? That would be awesome.
Hi Guys,
New to mucking around with phones so might be a stupid question or may have already been answered, I did have a look around the forum and didn't find much.
I have a HTC HD2, flashed WM7 on it last week, the phone itself is working well, except for Marketplace. I called MS and got an activation key, all good, entered it in and works fine but still can't download anything at all from Marketplace, all i keep getting is "can't get this info right now, check back later" and it's annoying the hell out of me!!
Apart from that, battery certainly doesn't last very long, although it wasn't that great before hand with WM6.5 but probably a bit worse with WM7.
Just need a bit of help to get Marketplace working otherwise it's pretty pointless having WM7 (although i do love it)
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Pete
please don't start a new thread for HD2 WP7 based stuff... please keep it inside the HD2 thread already provided...
mod can you merge?
I just got an HTC HD 2 today from a friend, and it already has a version of android on it. I dont know how to replace the android files without messing up the phone. Can someone help or walk me through this?
i know this aint help but have u tried the hd2 section
also is your name from coheed and cambria lol!
I have looked through the section and I cant find anything on how to replace the files. Yes it is. The greatest band ever!
sry i dont know anything about the hd2 and yes sir you are correct i just saw them in dallas for the neverender tour 4 hours of nothing but coheed it was amazing my 3rd show i may add new orleans, little rock, and dallas!
you shld be able to ask the same question in that thread im sure someone will be able to help
If your friend was so generous to give you that nice piece of hardware I´m sure he can guide you to replace the Android OS with that Microsoft crap. Your friend has invested some time and energy in the modification of his phone so he would be interested in having you enjoying it, too, wouldn´t he?
To be able to help it would be useful to know if android rom is nand (ie has replaced the original wm6.5 os) or is running from sd card.
When you boot up the phone, does magldr load?
I would suggest you do go over to the hd2 forum and look at the sticky threads, tey have all the info you will need to change/update android to something newer or even change os completely to say wp7?
If your droid is nand, it is very simple to update, just head over to the HD2 nand forum
Cheers.
Thank you everybody for being kind and not throwing noob slanders at me. The friend who gave me the phone actually bought it off of someone who put android on it haha so this nice phone is a hand-me-down for sure.
