Hey guys
I'm kind of out of the smartphone loop. A couple years ago I had a HD2 and it was a beaufitul thing, mainly due to the amount of different things you could do with it. However about 7 months ago the touch screen stopped responding and so its not just a beautiful paper weight. For a while my friend leant me her old desire which worked nicely for me with a custom rom. However she had to take it back and now im stuck with my old SE z530i...
So basically im looking for something equivalent to the HD2 in terms of its abilities and what not, I do like high spec phones but Im not willing to go as far as the £500 I spent on my HD2. Is there a phone out atm between the levels of a desire and a Hd2? Whats the galaxy nexus turned out to be like?
Cheers!
BUMP
Good luck with that.....The HD2 is probably the most developed phone out there. You can always just replace the screen? I have heard it is pretty easy.
Just hold out for the SGSIII, it will be out this month. Of course it is not as highly developed but at least it can see when you look at it.....
Oh, and Bumping is prohibited. If someone wants to answer you, they will.

It's hard times for ppl like us... i changed after 30months with a HD2 to the HTC One X.
the One X has a perfect screen and amazing specs, it's really cool, but development seems to be very slow, and nowhere as near the HD2
I'm really thinking of going back to the HD2! it was just pure freedom, nothing gets near it
i don't have much info about the Galaxy Nexus though. you could visit the forum and see yourself

Hmm I know what you mean, you can do anything with the HD2. Maybe I'll just pay for the screen to be replaced on it. I don't know but I'm not a huge fan of the Galaxies, they seem to plasticy and tacky, maybe its cause im used to the metal behind of the HD2.

Is it just slow? or not many developers working on roms etc?

There seem to be enough devs, but we still don't have S-OFF. not many are looking into this prob..
we still need to flash the "boot.img" kernel via the PC, with phone in fastboot mode..
this, everytime when we change to a ROM with a different base.
but we have a working CM9 ROM now, I'm very happy with it.. I can't stand sense >.< and most ROMs are just stripped down sense ROMs, or modified ones
but maybe i'm just too spoiled from the time with my HD2.. >.<
I was in town yesterday and I had the chance to try out the HTC one X. Its specs impressed me and its build quiality seemed closer to the HD2 than anything else I'd seen. Anyone got anything bad to say about it?

like i said, the device itself is amazing, only bad point is that you can't exchange the battery, and it doesn't have a SDCard slot.
Besides this, develpment is slow, but i'm satisfied now, that we have a really good working unoficial cm9 ROM.
Theres even an AOKP ROM now, wich i want to try soon
But if you like sense, there are enough ROMs for this available..

ok, so i posted this a couple days ago at ppcgeeks and no one knows the answer, everyone has been giving substitutes, but not THIS theme... take a look at the vid, the transitions are sweet...
Where the heck do i get this????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnfjW2z8QiA
is this with wad? if someone knows how to do this, hook it up!
I'm not fond of the other iphone themes becuase the transitions are lame or choppy or non-existant. This is a nice one and i want it lol.
30 views ALREADY and no one has a clue??? man... i will not stop searching until i find it...
but please don't post other alternatives to this theme... this is the specific one leaving MANY people stumped.
hey dude
yeah im looking now too... if i find anything i will post links
Give this a shot : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/02/29/itask-0925.html

not bad... the one i'm looking for undoubtedly uses flash lite aswell, but i really wanna find the first one... i just installed itask and it runs smooth and looks great, but the transitions aren't as sweet... having the iphone transitions is one thing, but having a transition one step ahead is even better.
Thanks theOne for this... but is there anyone out there who knows enough about developing that can tweak the transitions and customize?
Hell, if no one can find the original, might aswell try and recreate it... right? or is that askin a lil much? lol
I think this is what you may be looking for?
http://www.freestylwm.com
nope... i've used it before, but completely forgot about it.. thanks for that stelladell... but this is something completely different... its been a while since i used freestyle, i believe it was beta... i'ma have to try it out again...
we'll find out eventually, it can't hide for too long

a powerpoint slide show... what a hoax... damn lol
From all the pictures and videos of the Fuze, i thought it was gonna be huge, but i finally got it today and it's really cute. Maybe a little bulky, but not enough close to how people are describing it.
What do y'all think?
i was literally shocked when i first got it
compared to the 8525 i had its like a razr in comparison
Hahah ya. It's crazy.
But now that I'm playing with it. I already kind of hate it... but thats only because of the stock ATT rom. Gonna change that as soon as ActiveSync installs
you may want to wait a few days to flash
the new proven rom will be out soon
or if you like romeos thats finalized and good to go
what about natf's?

perhaps i shall give it a try
God. I'm running monx's conFUZED right now. But seriously. I've been waiting FOREVER on schaps to release TouchXperience. That is the one thing I REALLY want right now lol. Then I"ll be complete.
So I got to play with this phone today and all I have to say is WOW I'm so impressed.... I felt like my G2x was outdated. The screen is amazing, light weight, amazing feel, new 3.0 UI is awesome, It just feels like my old nexus one. I only got to take 2pics. can't wait until june! I took just 2 pics, I didn't get to take many as the "anonymous" person that had it didn't let me take more lol.
If your thinking of getting the G2x for tmobile... Trust me, its right around the corner... Just hold off and wait on that sensation.

Sounds good to hear. Can't wait for release. How was the picture quality?
[G2/HTC Vision]
What determines my purchase is battery life. I really want this device.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So excited, can't wait to get this bad boy.
Pics
To OP. Would you be able to post the pics you took of the device? I know there are plenty out there, but just curious.
Thanks
i couldnt really try out the camera it was dark. i cant really post the pics because of work confidentiality purposes
good thing i didnt before, they are hawks on these forums now.
I hope they upgraded the Camera and loudspeaker, the IS has the same hardware of DHD!
I can imagine that with the new resolution the wallpapers will look perfect, though not super amoled + brightness and contrast
Sense 3.0 is the main reason I preffer Sensation over SGS2 but will not take the risk to buy it before it gets Root

Good. Hopefully they are getting the message about the boot loader. Don't follow in Motorola's footsteps... https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=question&id=10150175871280731&qa_ref=ssp
I got to test the sensation in uk. The screen looked amazing the sound from the videos I saw were cool. Didn't get a chance to test thorough. I'm gonna wait for proper reviews from techradar and pocketnow. If they give thumbs up then that's cool by me. By the time they get it they should have the final rom.

That's cool. No need to get people in trouble. =P Did the phone at any point seem laggy or that it couldn't handle everything you were doing on it?
You guys prob have a lot of dudes like me coming here and asking this q over and over. Should be a sticky maybe in every forum.
So here goes: I have the Vibrant and want to switch. I don't like the G2x. So was thinking of the SENSATION. How do you like yours?
Battery life? Good ROMs in the Dev section? ICS is coming to it? Overall - are you happy?
Thanks a million! Good year to you all
with ICS out sensation is outstanding phone battery life is better with this rom, everything has improved, and thats only the test build of ICS

Yes we do! 3 devs have ICS roms out and running outstanding! i have ICS now and im loving it!

Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with the phone. Had to send it in for warranty though due to a dead pixel
If you can get it at a cheaper price compared to the S2/Galaxy Note, I'd say go for it

Dont see why anyone would want the NOTE. It's a tablet. but that's besides the point 9:
10000% HappY
I Love my Sensation XE . As my first android phone, I was getting confused between XE/GS2 . but when i practically handled them side by side...GS2 were a "Big NO" for my taste. i admit the screen is....but that's it..actually it hurts to see so over saturated color & the exterior look of total body is waaaayyyyyy inferior than XE. I dont give a damn about "benchmark"..as i do play..Shadowgun/ Asphault6 on my XE...and games like these literally fly..in terms of both look and performance. To me, my XE RockS.

That's what I thought until I tried my friend's Note, it's so big that it makes the Sensation look tiny
love my sensation - now that i've flashed ARHD rom..it turned into XE with beats audio with speed bump to 1.5ghz and enhanced audio quality. the phone is very smooth but i have yet to try ICS roms on it. Will wait for more stable release before i try flashing one.
Hi there, I am coming from an HTC ONE V to HTC One mini (I like the form factor and the 512mb were REALLY not enough for me... hope that the 1Gb will do it).
Just received the device today so directly jumped on xda to flash it on CM but ... a bit disapointed that nothing has been ported out yet.
Hopefuly will be released soon. If beta testers needed, PM me.
Hope to see smth soon as I am already bored of Sense5.
Cheers guys
It is in the works. You can find some information in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459528
Funny enough, I am also coming from One V. Looking back it feels like a toy in comparison with the Mini.

Looks like abandonware to me ... but I might be too pessimistic on that topic.
Not a coincidence but only consumer insight. Bought the One V and the One Mini because I hate big screen phones that don't fit in one hand/my pocket. It's a pity that the only manufacturer that exploits such a form factor with the last tech components seems to be the Pear.
Anyway, hope the hardware on this One Mini will be enough for all my apps to run properly ... and hope to see a CM mod soon enough anyway (and that's a lot of hopes in one sentence)
