[Q] Do I have a Android on a Win7 phone?

Hey guys,
I bought my HD2 running Windows 7 a couple of days ago and am a little confused.
When I boot it the following screen pops up before it boots to the HTC logo:
(Im not allowed to post a link to the picture so I will just explain what it says)
Its a blueish (im fairly colour blind so excuse me if its purple) sign saying:
NRG ENERGIZE
Now I looked it up and asked on a seperate forum and everyone came to the conclusion that this is Android. Unfortunately the other forum couldn´t entirely help me so they kindly redirected me here; so here it is.
If this is Android, how do I boot it or how do I know if it even works?/Why is my SD card full if its not Android?
Apart from that rather confusing bit, my micro SD seems to be full or does not get recognized. Im completely new to Windows 7 phone (and am planning on getting android asap. Previously used iOS) and am not sure where to even start. Is the SD card meant to be accesible through my computer so that I can put files onto it or do I need some sort of 3rd Party software.
I downloaded Zune but that justs tells me I have 0.0Mb/96Mb free and I asssume its referring to the phones memory?
I hope someone can help.
Thank you!

Hehe, I know the difference between android and Windows, thank you.
No, I know im running Windows 7 but when I boot that NRG ENERGIZE screen comes up. This is what I got really confused about.
Hope you have some sort of idea.

Oh, OK. That's just the logo of the ROM cooker.
Also, microSD cards are not user accessible on Windows Phone. This is because the microSD card is combine with on-board memory for total storage.

Uhm what exactly is the ROM cooker?
Oh ok. So how exactly do I clear the stuff which is on the SD? I mean, either my phone doesnt recognize it, or it is full of something which I can not see/access.
Inconviniently I dont have an SD reader so I cant directly plug it into my pc.

Yes .HD2 and HD7 can do it.

HD2 and HD7 can do what?
My question is, how do I see what is on my SD card?

Removing SD Card?

Is there a way to remove the SD card in the Nexus S? I know there was a way to remove it in the HTC HD7, which also had a built in 16gb card, so why not this device?
I have a 32gb SD card laying around, curious if I could replace the existing card with this one.

Why would you remove it in the first place ??? all video's, pictures etc will be stored there when you use the camera.

To swap out for larger sd card....

Nexus S does not have a SD slot.

I understand that, neither did the HD7, but it had a micro SD card implanted into the phone. Assuming the Nexus S actually has a micro SD, why can't it be swapped out with something else?
Here is the HD7...

Nexus s has no hidden slot. It's impossible to change it with a newer card.

Alright, well that kind of sucks. 16gb is good enough.

You go and butcher that part highlighted in orange in the picture. That's the NAND.

Salvage internal memory?

Today I got an idea: move my pictures and videos to /tmp, so I can salvage a lot of free space

. I only use about 1.x GB for apps
Is this a good idea, is it safe?
Will the system sometime clean up that dir?

Bad idea!
/tmp is cleared on every reboot.
If you want to use the internal storage, then use root explorer or similar and create a dir in /data and call it pics or something then store them there. The issue will be though that most gallery apps do not work with internal storage, you will not be able to look at them on the phone.
I don't get why everyone really wants to use the internal apps storage for personal storage, the issue is that any internal storage gets wiped on either a reboot if it is /tmp or if it is /data then a factory reset will wipe it.
Just go get a class 4 32GB sdcard for pocket change now, and be done with it.
Just my two cents, pence, etc...

Yes, I agree. 32 gigs are very cheap these days. If you look for a deal, you could get one for as low as 10 bucks. I've got one and I'm not close to filling it up.

WORD JIM!!! I DONT KNOW WHAT ID DO WITHOUT MINE!!

I'm gonna be hard headed and try this 64GB MicroSDXC out......
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313310

Since I created the topic, my files in /tmp have not been deleted.
Not really about the sdcard, it's about doing some tricks against the system
Furthermore, QuickPic loads images and vids in internal mem faster than my sdcard.

[Q] SD Card Fills Up Too Fast

I have a question for everyone.
Are you guys having problems with the internal sd card on your one s?
My sd card gets filled up really quick. I dont have alot on it. Only About 2.6gb of Music & 1gb of Videos
Thats all... The MAX I have is about 4GB with some roms and gapps etc.
If you guys had this issue before how did you guys fix it?
I just barely re-formated my sd card to fat 32 on my mac.
Thanks in advanced

I've been in the same spot. I didn't think I put much stuff on my phone and kept running out of space. Then I found an app from the playstore called "Disk Usage." It's a graphical representation of your phones storage so you can actually see what's taking up space. In my case it's almost always forgetting to delete old back ups. You should try it.
Check it out.

That's all your stuff needed to run your phone properly. If you want to downsize it you can delete unused ringtones and other sounds, but dont tinker with much more or you could brick your phone.

I've had this problem pop up even after running a clean install until I finally figured it out (for myself at least) SD card/DCIM/THUMBNAILS. It would usually use about 3.75 Gig if not more, until I would delete it and free up the space as it's really not needed.
