HTC HD2 - User Reviews

  • This legendary phone died in 2018 after 9 years of heavy use, multiple OS installations, several soft bricks, numerous stock of batteries from China over the years, and a hell lot of nostalgia on XDA devs. I was lucky enough to pick up another brand new in 2019 for 2500rs ($35), guess i will still use the new one for next 10 years. This time pure stock WM6.5 Professional with HTC Sense. Ofcourse i use bigger android phone for daily use and productivity, but i always pickup calls on HD2, what a compact size and build quality. I wish HTC could make a "Quietly Brilliant" comeback someday!

  • HTC's most legendary phone.

  • One of the best phone I have ever owned over the years, windows 6.5 and android in same time dual boot wide angle screen that time, heavy duty

  • 65.2% Screen-to-body ratio in 2009, impressive.

  • That is good enough I suppose. I just can't wait for that to happen!!

  • over the years i had 12 HD2 phones, just to play with the software, installed windows phone 7, almost all versions of android from 2013 and back, Meego, linux it self, and finally broke one of them after installing windows 95, it actually ran it, but got bricked while trying to installed USB drivers !! this phone is LEGENDARY

  • not yet, but im sure they will get the lite version like you get on nokia 1

  • no doubt about that

  • Still the best phone yet...

  • I bought my HTC HD2 T8585 way back in 2009 the first time it was introduce, it is windows mobile 6.5 professional platform and working great until recently I was tempted to upgrade it to android, my biggest mistake. I just realized that it better to keep it as it is. Now I was able to recover my previous platform but with artemis. Working okay but still prefer the stock ROM version. imagine after 9 years its still working good. Hope HTC will upload the original ROM. Compare to my new mobile phone the only drawback is the screen size, other that that thumb up for me..

  • Is it possible to mod this phone to run Android Oreo?

  • Hi guy, please share me the best ROM 6.5 for HD2 - Amazing Smartphone !

  • Hi guy, please share me the best ROM 6.5 for HD2 - Amazing Smartphone !

  • This phone is amazing! It can run Android Nougat, Ubuntu Phone, Windows Phone 8(Although it is outdated now) Windows RT(Which was supposed to be a Tablet OS) and Firefox Phone! It's compatibility is insane!

  • Yes it's possible! My LG G3 is going to get Android Nougat as well :D!

  • Does direction compass working on HTC desire 628

  • is it possible for to update into naught? bcause in my phone got infor mation there is possible to like this i got informatio through htc one e9 plus in blinkfeed htc

  • After 5 years, my HD2 died. Used Asus, Samsung, Sony, and LG after it but never enjoyed another flagship like this one. HD2 is by far the most legendary of them all. RIP my friend.

  • How can change language french to english

  • Update it to 6.0. Every newer Android version makes your phone faster today (if it is a light ROM, best AOSP)

  • where can i buy a battery of this phone? pls help tnx in advance..

  • How and where do I download WhatsApp to my HTC HD2?

  • I owned this phone (htc hd2) for 6 years. Still it has'nt got any problems. Running fresh

  • my HTC HD2 is not having English language in the system.

  • Mine is running 4.4.4, slow, though. I'm looking into upgrading after these long six years. Legendary phone!

  • this phone just WON't die! running Android 6.0 currently

  • It was originally on windows mobile, so if yo got any questions ask them your Android developers.

  • if i try to do a system updata is says error and than i cant do the updata, can annyone help me? my Hd2 run kikat 4.4.2

  • + The darling of XDA Developers - custom ROMs of various operating systems for every HD2 user + Lovely design + Gorgeous HTC Sense graphical user interface + Decent headphone sound quality + Decent JPEG photography and gallery browsing + Decent H.264 and 3GPP video recording and playback + Nifty Contacts database + Power-user-friendly Windows Mobile 6 OS + Removable and replaceable cell battery + Supports microUSB cards up to 32GiB capacity Class 10 speed - With stock ROMs, the radio switches from WiFi to mobile data without telling you if it cannot find a WiFi access point! - Loudspeaker is not very loud - Average default web browsing experience - try using Opera Mobile/Mini instead - With stock ROMs, some YouTube videos are unplayable - Mediocre FM radio sensitivity - Not very durable - plastic coat of keypad wears off after a year of daily use - glass cracks after a hard fall or two - Mediocre call quality - Underlying Windows Mobile 6, designed with stylus-controlled PDAs in mind, is a pain to use with fingers - GPU slows down old Windows Mobile apps designed for a 320x240 display resolution

  • What is the price of htc hd2 t8585 display my display is cracked

  • nokia???? hihi htc 4ever.

  • htc hd2 it's very bad phone... alwys hang,stupid. I like my nokia X very smoothly. it performs great.hahaha htc hd2 bulshit.

  • Andriod 4.2.2.best Os for my Htc HD2. lagend smartphone.

  • i cant get ma phone market place to function

  • my hd2 running Kitkat 4.4.4.. hd2 the best smartphone

  • This phone has lollipop 5.1.1 rom and its so fast that I got cancer and ebola.Best phone ever.

  • I got one and people make fun of me with things like "oh, look at his tablet". Now they're using 5.5" or more

  • It's funny knowing this kind of size used to be called monstrous some years ago, while by today's standard it's falls into midrange-compact size.

  • Which is the best software to use?

  • goto Aliexpress.com or cell2get.com they have them.

  • hey everyone I really like this phone & want to buy one does anyone have any idea where I can buy one?

  • This phone...well where do I start. Came with Windows Phone OS...used for 2 years then shifted to Android ICS, then Jellybean, then KitKat...yes kitkat...ran everything that I threw at it, Windows RT, Ubuntu, Firefox OS...okay I should stop now..retired! Got HTC One M7, lasted 9 months so switched to Galaxy S5 Active now

  • Extraordinary

  • It's a legendary phone, I still use it, 4 years now, and it's still pretty usable with 4.2.2 Android ROM. The battery is dying, so probably soon I will decommission the veteran, perhaps in favor of a Moto E.

  • Which ROM are you using? If you use tytung's ROM, you can use DataOnEXT or NativeSD.

  • Hello, Does anyone have the latest unlocked whatsapp installer for windows 7.0 on the htc hd2. My regular phone died recently and i would like to use this one for a few months before i get a new one. Thank you

  • Recently using my HD2 again since my daily driver died. It's surprising how well a 6 year old phone works in 2015. That said the lack of NAND storage is what kills it. The lag in Android 4.0.4 is perfectly acceptable but because things are squeezed so tight you have almost no room for apps. Sure you can do Data on External but then it runs like crap. I imagine the T-Mobile variant is still perfectly usable today since it has double the internal NAND. Keep it in mind.

  • It good,but it old...

  • I'm curently using the blackberry 9900,I'm hopping to start using androind phones,I think I'll start with the htc hd2,so I ask this;is the htc hd2 a good phone?

  • I DL viber, FB etc.. Why i can't access it?

  • Geez mate, get on to that. It runs most versions of Android now - check out Cyanogen mod. It's probably the best device of it's vintage. My friend keeps upgrading his for fun - it's the phone that won't die!

  • My HTC HD2 now runs Android KitKat 4.4 and is doing it very well! Such a nice devise! I would still recommend it for someone who wants a nice phone with lots of features!

  • The original OS was pathetic. I still have it after four years using Android. It's as strong as a tank and suits my needs just fine. Search the web for ways to upgrade it to Android. There are hundreds of versions available.

  • I had it for 3 years. Initial firmware had many bugs in several apps but nothing you could not live with. After 1,5 years, I could not find out how to update it. WiFi consumed too much battery. At last, after using it for 3 years it blacked out and motherboard/screen were dead forever.

  • Actually 4.1.2 is the best OS for this phone, 4.2.2 is on mine right now and its just too much for the 1GHz processor to handle. 4.1.2 is about a 1/3 smaller than 4.2.2 so it runs a lot smoother and their really isnt much of a difference between the firmwares.

  • actually jelly bean 4.1 is part of android though so it's android

  • Guys what really is the best Os for this phone.am getting confused,google says jelly bean 4.1 and u guys say android.

  • Htc Hd2 its a very nice smartphone i m having it frm 2 years and there is no problem if you maintain it nicely..

  • Ur digitizer is damaged common problem with htc hd2 u will have to replace it and after u do sell off the phone coz this is a recurring problem and digitizers are expensive.

  • This is one of the best phone I've ever had.

  • The LCD-touch-screen and it's attached sensor chip must be replaced. I've had to replace mine twice in 4 years. Not very expensive, but finding a local HTC repair shop with parts can be a problem. Otherwise you have to send it away to the nearest specialized HTC/repair shop and can be a bit more expensive. (But better quality!) T.

  • HTC HD2 has been one of the most developer friendly devices for a long time now. The smartphone was launched with Windows Mobile on board and later, the device was hacked to run everything from Android 4.1 Jelly Bean,Ubuntu to Windows 8 RT x86. and now hacked to run Mozilla Firefox OS. I found only some mobiles which can be upgraded change their platforms/OS. Nokia N900 - comes with meamo OS. it can run android Gingerbread. Nokia N9 and N950 - comes with Meego OS. At the end of this year can be upgraded to Sailfish OS. these devices can run android too. and HTC HD2 lately joined in this but surpassed all these. after release of the Sailfish OS, HTC HD2 may be hacked to run Sailfish OS.

  • Of course it is possible. Check this:

  • here is a video on how to change it into android ICS ,,, stick to the instructions ,, do it on your own responsibility ,, I did it, it worked with me! good luck in doing that :)

  • HTC HD2 is the best phone ever , it is non RIP phone. I have recently installed Windows Phone 7.8 on my HD2 and it is working very well. Great Phone

  • htc hd2 t8585 still is the best smartphone.

  • my hd2 dual boot Os android 4.0 and windows mobile 6.5...hd2 is the best choice. htc hd2 is lagendry phone.

  • They just put FireFox OS on it

  • I installed WP 7.8, got a key, activate it, installed Android 2.3, installed Android 4.2, and it works perfectly! dual-boot, triple boot, this is a dream phone

  • Windows Phone 7 runs smoothly on it, but with a slow microSD it will crash all the time. Android 4.2.2 works well, too, but you shouldn't use it together with WP7, as Android can't mount SD-card when booting from SD using MAGLDR. It works perfectly with cLK or when booting from Windows Mobile (using haret).

  • good phone

  • I installed WP7.8 and it ran perfectly well. I could not keep it because i found it difficult to activate the OS. Notwithstanding I tried it and was satisfied that it worked. I had wished to try android on it but sold the phone shortly afterward

  • The phone stands out clearly in its class. It crunches data, run program, plays any video. I impressed my coworkers recently when we were stuck with a laptop and needed to scan some docs and convert to pdf. My HD2 came to the rescue, using one of the software i had recently downloaded, i snapped the docs and converted them to PDF all on the phone. Thereafter, I sold my HD2 and 2 more units of the phone in my office.

  • you can instal android 4,1,2 and work perfect

  • Well I've been gone from for awhile since MS Discontinued the OS on the HD2(WP7). Went to Android (More Cust OS. Like MS OS use to be.). Still Don't Like WP7 or WP8 (Not Cust OS yet). Went with Android Tablet as well (It's okay). But now that MS came out with Win 8 Pro Tablet OS, I'm coming back (To the Tablet Side). Will buy a Win Pro 8 Tablet or Ultrabook??? Still not happy with the battery life for the Win Pro 8 tablets, and the Cost is HIGH....... The Win Pro 8 tabs are nice and light, but not alot of external inputs??? The Ultrabooks are nice and light as well, and offer more inputs and removable Batteries a +. But they are bigger.... Still waiting for MS to release their Win Pro 8 tablet and others to follow.....

  • Just sent this from my HTC hd2 with jellybean 4.1.2. Says it all really...

  • WinMo65 is more customizable. It's open - you can install whatever you want from any source. It can have SD card without formatting it with special format. Cons: - its slower. - its discontinued. - No new apps for it.

  • hi idont no how to use htc hd2,i need to open windo7 but does not open, plz help.the problem is i need to get program and to put things so plz how can i do,plz answer me?????

  • It very much depends on how you use your HD2. I've loaded and tested WP7.8 and Android Jellybean but for corporate use and the sheer quality of the apps available for WM6.5.3 customised ROM beats the 'modern' consumer OSs all day long. The quality of the Android apps in particular is abysmal compared to WM6.5. All of this is symptomatic of an inductry that has lost its discipline and lost its way. Ten years ago all a browser needed to recognise was a 'mobile device' with not an incling of the foul proprietary multi-OS mess that we have to endure nowadays.

  • in this avelable bluetooth so that is work , that means that using we can transfer any data ? to onther device ?????

  • No, it's a single core 1Ghz processor phone.

  • no

  • Of course you can, check it on youtube!

Answer me anyone please..asap Quick pls thx

  • I have been using this phone for 3 years and done alot with this beast machine.It comes in windows 6.5 and can flash any android Rom u just give it to hd2 and hd2 will run that Rom. Android from donut to jelly bean all are running thus slows a phone a little bit but runs great on gingerbread.The most amazing thing is it also runs windows 7 and higher versions. Phone Battery life is not as expectation but htc gave it a very small battery but still it can pass a whole day easily.

  • Yes the one file. What is the full file name you got, including the extension?

  • If you want flash you have to forget windows mobile. It never had flash support and never will. Getting it working in android is your only hope. Skyfire is available for android in the playstore. It�s a unique browser in the since that it does not really have any add-on but still lets you view flash and more because all the decoding is the on the skyfire server and just a compatible viewing image/video is sent to you. So I can�t say if it will work with flash online games or not. Seeing I am not a gamer I cant even tell you if the only flash that works now, which is the 11.115.1.20 will let you do flash online gaming. What you need is a PC not a phone. Yes you can upgrade you Android. the thing is you don�t know what ROM version of windows it had on the phone before it was change to Android. so I don�t know if you have the needed radio drivers for the newer Android ROMs. It you still want to do it you going to need a PC with a internet connection. And be will to follow instructions to the T. Because deviating from the instructions in any way could brick your phone. Doing this is a Hack, so its not as easy as updating an official ROM. It would be nice if you could find out from the person that change the ROM, what was the windows mobile ROM version on the phone before they changed it.

  • I love to play online games ... and flash is necessary for it... why Android is better then windows i dont know at the moment.... if my need can be solved by installing windows on to my phone ..then dont u think it is a good idea? All i love is to play games like yahoo games....slingo...and other games... still i am standing where i was 3 Weeks ago ...my head is spining...lol. Can i install/ download windows back to my phone? Is there any browser that has flash in it and can be downloaded to my Android phone? Or is there any browser that i can dowmload and that supports flash player?so i can then downliad flash player too. I am browsing and looking for my answers but havent found one yet. And yes now i know a little more about my phone...it is htc hd2 t8585 ..

  • Skyfire browser or any other browser that supports or has flash in it and is compatible with my htc hd2 T8585 Android ..... I just tried to download skyfire but i think it is for windows mobile... Can i upgrade my mobile version or install never version etc .. i remember u said somthing that my Android version etc is older...right? If yes how can i upgrade software etc of it? U got what i am saying? Help me Anthony to make this htc hd2 t8585 Android compatible ... Hmmm

  • Skype browser wont work on my htc hd2 t 8585 ? Right?

  • I think there should be some other browser which has flash in it or that browser just suports flash. I havent found anything usefull for me in xda yet... but yes that site has one hell of data.solutions..but not seen one for me yet. :(

  • Install_flash_player_ics(5).apk

  • Yes the one file. What is the full file name you got, including the extension?

  • 11.1.115.20 I downloaded it again and there was full signal on my mobile while downloading ... but again when i tried to insall it it said again.. Parse error. There was an error while parsing the package This time i dont think there was weak internet connection or signal problem...i was very carefull about downloading it. Only that file u told me to download right? 11.1.115.20? Or all the 4 files?

  • Android installed on my phone too Now but having flash etc problems now...

  • i am using HTC HD@ T8585. but it is in Korean Language how can i convert it in English ?

  • I've been using this baby for the last 1.5 years. Windows mobile 6.5 is not a suitable os for this machine. I recommend you to install a custom Android rom.

  • The link I gave you for flash is from XDA. What happened? did you retry ?

  • Alot of usefull talking there but cant see flash player...

  • It not just a forum It is also the please where you will get newer Android ROMs for your HD2 and the tutorials on how to install it. There are also goodies you can get there that you will not get in the play store e.g. the flash player link I gave is from there. Flash is no longer officially supported by Android so it has been removed from the play store. The play store is for google approved Android apps (Android is there OS and the play store belongs to them) but that is not the only source of software for Android. If you ever decided to put WM6.5 back on your phone XDA is the place you would have to go for the ROM. It�s one of the main places that are still supporting the HTC HD2. even the HTC web site is not giving support for this phone any more.

  • Heading straight to xda forum. Ooops what did u just said? .apk file? Yes i downloaded that. Apk file which u mentioned..it was just one file... 4.48 mb or something of size of that..then i deleted it before taking my battery out yesterday..remember? lol Ok i will download it again..it takes 10-15 minutes .. let me try again... Anthony tell me cant i download it from play store? What is use of play store? There are like hundreds of items there... and yes dont forget i am knew here... but u wont believe how much i browsed...read history...even i read about that Russian col. Who recieved signal on computer that nuclear missiles launched from usa but he dident presented that to his high up command in a manner that could have started nuke war..lol Anthony comon dont send me to other forum. .u trying to run away from me ..lol Ok going there ..see ya

  • Join the XDA forum In the HTC Leo: HD2 section would be a great help to you.

  • Here is not the place to learn about downloading torrents. Sorry For music you can use a program called (simple mp3 downloader) it is free in the play store. I keep forgetting you know nothing about Android. The flash file you downloaded should have a (.apk) file ending. If it is a (.zip) ending, you have to un-zip it to get the .apk file to install. You can get AndroZip in the playstore.

  • Used... i think..second hand....before this i had nokia asha 303 but its screen was small...it was Brand New.... I added about half the price more to that Nokia to buy this one...bcz there was no fun while browsing.. etc and watching movies ..songs due to its small screen...first time in my life i bought second hand set bcz of these activities i wanted to do ....

  • Ok i am here Anthony and google play store is working too i think Guide me... Flash download etc. .amyway i just downloaded u torrent.. Tell me how to download songs etc lol So see i was about to invest but afraid what if the flash which i even succeed in downloading what if it stops working after a few days or month and i will loose my Investment... i thought Mobile is good idea ..any time i can take it out from pocket etc and could invest or check the status and then keep it iback....easy stuff i thought....but No ... I think Laptop is good idea.

  • Why arent these sites moving to HTML5 ....they dont want more business? Are they stupid lol

  • Sorry Anthony.... for being late... Yes my google play store is working... but i tried to come here or browse news and sports channel it simply couldent....now i have restarted my htc and by luck or due to that restarting i am able to broswe now.... Whenever i went to google play store something was loading....i tried to stop it but No way... i tried to sign out from google play store but couldent see sign out etc... Anyway going to google play store was kool ...saw something new .. lol Now i am here.....Present Sir. :)

  • did you get this phone new or used?

  • did you get the play store working?

  • By the way new laptops coming with Windows 8 RT will not support flash. That is how serious they are about killing that old unstable technology. Flash is going to die like the diskette drive sooner or later so don�t cling on to it so much.

  • In your case I would have to say yes. A laptop maybe a better buy as flash is so important to you and they have a longer life cycle before they become obsolete. Phone prices go up because of there hardware. People say SIII is the best but the question you need to ask is. how much of what you paying for can you use where you are? Is it the best for you? is what that makes it grate usable in my location? e.g. SIII has 1. Quad band 3G service. But if you have no 3G then paying for a phone with quad band 3G will work now better than a phone with dual band or no 3G. 2. it has 4G service but if your area had no 4G then what is the point of having it. 3. it has a big screen. That is grate for watching movies and playing games but a smaller screen phone could do that as well so you could save money there. 4. it has Wi-Fi hotspot feature. But if this is the only device you go on the internet with you do need that. 5. DLNA is pointless unless you have a TV that supports it. 6. Wi-Fi direct is pointless unless your friends have a phone that has it to. 7. NFC is of no use if you live in a remote area of an undeveloped country. 8. Svoice need a high speed internet connection. So that is of now use to you. These are some of the things you are playing for when you buy a SIII that you will never use so that is why I say you don�t need a S3 Once the phone is factory built with Android and update able to a current version, has a Quad-core CPU, 1 GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage. The rest of the specs should meet your needs as far as a phone goes.

  • You got it backwards It is you that is behind the times. HTML5 and silver light is the new slandered. Flash is dieing old school tec. And mobile makers are not supporting it to force web page makers that are stuck in the past to move on to HTML5 or die with flash.

  • Mobile phone companies are not thinking about this aspect? They should have sorted out these problems like years ago..this is new millenium and that much expensive phones and they cant settle flash and other small issues lol Internet only is not enough ...these small issues be addressed... its now mobile/ smart phone era and still they are way much behind.

  • Ok i have created a google mail account. So what u mean is that mobile/ smart phone is nothing so special..no matter how expensive it is? In my area Computer costs around 200$ - 300$... the best one... p4. Laptop costs around 300$ - 450$....the best ones..p4 whatever it is Smart phones costs around 150$ - 600$... from cheaper to best ones. So if these phones cant produce good results for me then i think Laptop is best choice? Right? Cz i think Laptop and computers works same?right? Laptop is good for me bcz its batteries charges easily and consume less electricity/power...then i think i should go for Laptop...what do u think?

  • Your bro is both correct and wrong at the same time. This phone is grate because it is 3 years old and by phone standards it should be in a grave. But instead it can be hacked to change the OS to Windows Phone 7.5 or even Android. no other phone can dream of doing that. But at the end of the day its still outdated hardware (CPU & memory) so I just can�t match new devises for speed and capability. And as you the anything part�.. anything made for Android (not your PC) that your phone has the hardware to run.(OLD phone not the best hardware spec anymore.) iOS, WP & Android all have youtube players and there own game for download so you have to pick the one that has the games you want. I can�t pick for you. And yes the S3 is grate. That is what I am using now. I just have my HD2 as a Garmin Nav unit now. (nothing more.) But you don�t have to get a S3 to play if the price is too much other phone can do it as will. S3 is not just about games & youtube that is why it cost so much.

  • Flash is no longer supported by any OS made for mobile phones any more. They are all moving on to HTML5. That is why adobe is no longer making a mobile version of flash. Version 11 is the last one. Only desktop version of flash will be developed from now on. So any web site that does not switch to HTML5 just will not work on your phone when the desktop version of flash upgrades again. That�s just how it is. No matter what phone you buy now. Mobile flash has reached the end of its days. So if you get version 11 working enjoy it while you have it. If your into games this was not the phone to buy. Its over 3 years old and the OS it was made for which is Windows Mobile has been discontinued more than a year now. So find new apps for that OS is out of the question. Microsoft has moved on to there new OS called Windows Phone. Which is not a upgrade of Windows Mobile. As you don�t buy phones often and games are important to you. Your bro did the right thing by switching the OS to Android. But now it is up to you to keep updating it (manually as this phone has no auto update for android, seeing that putting Android on it was a unofficial modification). Android has reached version 4.2 so you are way behind. As for what to buy the next time. Look at �. 1. Official Android devices with a quad core CPU and losts of internal storage. Games need that to run smooth. 2. iPhone also good for gamers (don�t buy an outdated model or the new grate apps will not work) 3 a Windows Phone 8 or newer device. With dual core CPU And don�t buy a device that is more than 18 months old Smart phones are considered obsolete after 2 years of its announced date.

  • What do u think is better set Android or non Android? Which one? Alot of people on the forums talking about Galaxy s3..but it is 3 times expensibe then this one..lol..which one is best and compatible for playing games?Youtube? Etc Tell me.

  • I heard about Android 2 weeks ago when my bro bought me this set saying ...this is HTC set and Android installed on it and he also said anything u want u can watch play install use etc etc on it... he was happy like he found a treasure for me lol..

  • Yes That�s where you get your android apps :) And the account they are talking about is your gmail address and password. Only a gmail account will work as Android is from google. how did you first here about Android? seem like you no nothing about the OS and how it works.

  • You mean the play store? Play store>google play> you must add an account to the device to continue.Do you want to add one? You mean that?

  • Ok i will take my battery out and try again installing it. Can u tell me about some good latest mobile set which dont have these problems? Or which are official software website etc like when u go to microsoft website it updates/downloads the softwares ur pc system requires. So it means my bro choice is bad buying this phone? Right? Tell me what set is the best for playing online games? And has official website so no headache downloading stuff compatible with phones. Are you getting what i am saying? Bcz what u saying feels like i might be in trouble after sometime again with flash player etc...if today i succeed in solving the problem. Ok i am going to take my battery out and download it again and also i am going to create a google email too. I will be back in 30 minutes after doing these things. Anyway thx aain for ur precious time and dont go away....i need you lol

  • LOL You do know that Android is by google? Just as iOS is by apple. You need the gmail account to set-up an account in the Android play store also known as the app store. That is where you get all your game and programs. The app/play store should be right there on your phone. Your yahoo email will not work with the google play store I read up on your error Looks like it is sometimes caused by a bad internet connection when downloading the file. It is also suggested that you take the battery out of the phone to clear data and try installing again. I would tell you to update your ROM to ICS but without a good working PC and internet connection. That would be a bad idea to try.

  • When i tried to install.. it says: Parse Error. There is a problem parsing the package.

  • Nope i dont have a google email account.. should i create one? I have yahoo email account.

  • Parse Error There was a problem parsing the package

  • Do you have a google email account? I don�t want the address, I just want to know if you have one.

  • just install it. i don't think the file manager you use matters.

  • Yes there is other but they don�t always work with the sites you want them to work with. (you can go off road with a car or you can use the 4x4 jeep which would you prefer?)This is what works in the android default web browser in ICS and JB so you could give it a try and see if it works on your older Android. Most sites that use flash make it to work with adobe so that is why I am using it on my SIII. The thing is adobe stopped making flash for Android so this is the last update you can find from them. When the desktop version of flash upgrades again. This will most likely stop working and you will have to go on the hunt for another flash player that works.

  • Download Completed .. ok now whatelse i need ? Or i simply Install it. Waiting for ur reply Anthony... Do i need any sort of File Manager to Install the file which i downloaded? I have ES File Explorer...dont know about others....tell me.

  • Ok i am going to download from that link..

  • Yes i tried that link but it failed after downloading 24% ..and once before that too which also failed but i think that was bcz my card got expired..right now i got mobile cards and i have activated the internet package..i am ready to give a shot as many times as i want...no worries now....Guide me Anthony. Isent there any other flash beside Adobe flash player?

  • Ok I can see you have things a bit hard but. I already gave you the link for the flash player (post with time stamp 2012-10-29 02:33) and in post with time stamp 2012-10-30-10:05 I told you which one to download and install. I also ask you to tell me what happened when you installed it. That is what is most important to you and you didn�t even say if you tried it or not, so you tell me how can I help you?

  • I do my reseach? Thats what i am doing for last two-three weeks..worst thing is i live in a very remote area in an undeveloped country..there is no electricity in my village...we produce our own electricity and we only use it at night..u got what i am saying...we got Mobile booster about 6 months ago...thats how i am posting these messages now not before that... The electricity can only be used for tubelights/ bulbs/ Tv/mobile charging etc etc.... No computer..cant switch On computer on this Power otherwise lol We have to travel Miles by foot and then bt Jeep/Van etc to reach city where basic necessaties of life are provided.. This is the best place/forum to get over problems of my Mobile and we cant simply sell this phone and buy another ...One will have to wait for months...maybe i be able to buy another phone Next year.. definately not this year... Thats why i keep saying before how to download flash player to my phone. Sry for saying all those but i think i am losing patience lol

  • i gave you the link for flash player 11.1.115.20 what happened when you tried to install it?

  • It is old/used set and with windows installed on it ....then after that Android was installed. And still that Android version 2.3.7 on it.whole specification i had posted earliar...2-3 days ago.. Now tell me how can i download Flash to it. Flash player lol Any flash player so that i can play games on net also tell me is it necessary to have java too for game purposes? If yes then i think i need help for those two application to download. Thats Alll Sir Anthony. :))

  • did you get this phone new or used?

  • How could I know my ROM is cooked or Not? If you really have a HD2 your ROM is cooked because there is no such thing as a Android HD2 unless you are using a cooked ROM. Can I update or upgrade my HTC Android online? And if yes how and from where? The XDA web site. Do your own research as I don�t know what method was used to put Android on your HD2 in the first place.. Can i play yahoo games on my HTC Android? It seems to me while visiting yahoo games that i cant.. If you are running Android you should get your games and apps from the app/play store. Android is google so you going to need a google account. For your information I do not use Android on my HD2. I have the original windows mobile OS on my phone. I you find your phone to be buggy it�s because you don�t have the official OS made for the phone on the phone.

  • How could i know my ROM is cooked or Not? Can i update or upgrade my HTC Android online? And if yes how and from where? Can i play yahoo games on my HTC Android? It seems to me while visiting yahoo games that i cant.. If You had played games on ur HTC or can then lemme know... Why is it that i cant download Flash player from Adobe? Can you access You tube on your HTC Android? Is it necessary to connect to internet through PC and download software's etc and then transfer to HTC Android? Can't i simply download it from my HTC Android? If i cant download then i am SAD simply bcz i thought i can play games and so on and if it require software i can simply download it from sites...but i can't. Otherwise Beside those problems HTC Rocks.. Love watching/Listening Music ...BUT.... when Handsfree is attached the Music volume is Awesome but without handsfree on speaker it is simply tooo slow. Now i will try that link u mentioned and help me in this. Thx for your Advice Anthony and i am definately looking for more to come from YOU!!!

  • Fist thing you should know is, the HTC HD2 is not an Android phone. So if you have Android on it instead of windows mobile, it means 1 of 2 things. You have a knock off or the phone has a cooked ROM on it. If it�s a cooked ROM, new versions are always coming out and it is up to you to manually keep your ROM up to date. I can give you the link to get flash for Jelly bean that I�m using on my SIII now, but I can�t say if it will work on the HD2 because as I said before, the HD2 is not an official Android phone. and i am still using my official ROM on my HD2.

  • * My bro told me that it was a HTC set now Android installed on it and it will have no issues but i am having 2-3 issues with it and the BIG ISSUE is of Flash player.

  • Hi Anthony.

I have run a new ROM /OS every 2-3 months. This phones doesn't turn its back on running even the Jelly Bean. Being a Windows 6 phone that is about 3+ years old, it simply rocks. People who have spent a fortune on their latest gadgets literally cry when they see the OS / customization / features I get on my phone. All this without knowing anything about developing software :D long live the devs at XDA.

  • can any one tell me about its battery life? Thanks

  • how do you install android on to the phone

  • yes you can with this site

  • yes you can with this site

  • Yes you can install android on your hd2. The different versions have names that are alphabetical orderd Jelly bean is the newest version Icecream the second newest. On hd2 you can run everything, even win xp . So android is no problem, but i recomend you to have a sd card that you use as a internal memory becaise the internal memory of the phone is low. thelephone numbers photos ar no problem but if you wish to donload more than 3-4 apps you have to use parts of your sd card as a internal memory, goto or for mor info

  • Yes, i have android 4.04 on my HTC HD2 !!

  • How do i connect to internet using network provider

  • can i update HD2 OS to Anroid version ?????? If so please say me how. Thanks...

  • This is good bye. Friend just got me a Samsung GSIII so I could play with it and teach her everything. Told me to pay her for the phone whenever I like. Will not be on the HD2 page much now and my HD2 will be used as a NAV system in the car. Will still get a WP8 phone and give my phone GSIII if it turns out it doesn�t have everything I want. Its bean fun guys� bye.

  • I find Android without HTC sense is a bit ugly. So ill agree with you and go with the one that has the sense UI I imported my phone from the UK HTC is not a brand readily available in TT. 3 years ago every one were into BB or wanted an iPhone. A handful of people was all that ever heard of HTC. It would piss me off when people would watch my phone and say �cool which iPhone is that?� Now every one is into Android and lot more know about HTC but only for there Android phones not WP. But the service providers are pushing Samsung android phones so that is what most people buy. When I�m ready to move on to WP8 ill have to import it again.

  • Hi, as I mentioned below price is in US dollars. You are lucky to get it much cheaper than it was in Russia. I don't know why, but HTC products are much expencive in Russia than around the world, so in this case there are alot unofficial shipment to Russia w/o manufacture warranty. "But if price of unit (with good build quality) now running cooked Android is more important than, high spec running Android." - you are absolutely right, that's what I mean exactly :) "Hi! Who is better gigerbread, froyo, bada, icecream sandwich?" - I prefer gingerbread for my HD2, because I like HTC sense, unfortunately it's not yet ported to HD2 on ICS.

  • Hi! Who is better gigerbread, froyo, bada, icecream sandwich?

  • So the price you are quoting are in RUB or USD? Got mine online from www.clove.co.uk second shipment batch 2009 (autorised HTC dealer) for apox. £400 thats 627USD or 20140RUB But if price of unit (with good build quality) now running cooked Android is more important than, high spec running Android. I understand your reason for still wanting a HD2

  • It was price for the HD2 in Russia in 2009-2010. Did you have it cheaper in your location in mentioned time frame? Thx.

  • i have installed icream sandwich 4.0.4,and finally love my hd2 after that

  • when you say $1000.00 back in 2009 what curency are you talking about?

  • it's me again, sorry that I'm not registered, but I found here an interesting topic and stay a little bit :) You are absolutely right and I agree with you, but we need to take in count, that a new realised mobile phones are not so cheap after their announcing. For example, I bought absolutely new HD2 (not used) for less than $200 and I'm happy with that. It's fast and flexible, made in high quality materials. It's for sure, I mentioned only about Android version of HD2 (ICS included, MIUI also), so I can get all needed SW from Google and from other sites. For me it's very important to have hardware buttons on phone, unfortunatelly latest models not have it at all. What's else, HD2 looking great till for now, don't forget it was a flagman of HTC in 2009. Of course, I wanted to get HD2 in 2009, but I refused to spend for it about $1000, thanks.

  • I know all to well about xda. I have been using xda way back when I had a windows mobile Qtek S200 then the HTC Touch HD and now the HTC HD2. The thing is twinking a dead OS is pointless if you can�t get the new apps that are on the other OS. Right not I�m pisst I can�t have whatsapp which is like the new BBM across platforms. There in no longer a good FB chat app for the WM OS. Put it simple nothing new is being made for WM and some of the old stuff stop supporting the WM OS. That there is the argument that you can install Android on it. But if you are in the market to buy a new phone you can early buy a phone that comes with android and has much better hard wear spec and still modify it on XDA. You will not be able to put the WM OS on it, but most likely you will not want to do that because as I said before that OS is dead. Then there is the argument that it can install WP7. Well by the end of the year WP7 will also be a dead OS in favour of WP8 which is a window NT based OS. And from a hardware point of view it is pointless to try and put WP8 on the HD2. So know all this, I find it hard to understand why someone would still want to buy a HD2 today when there is better out there? What am I missing?

  • Because this is the best mobile for tweaks, look at xda-developers and find a lot of customs firmware for this phone...

  • I have a UK factory unlocked HD2 (made in china) and it working just fine. By why are you interested in which is better in such an old phone? There are a lot higher spec phones coming with Android now. WM OS is discontinued so there is not much new software being made for it. WP OS is moving on to version 8, by the end of the year. So buying this phone now is just wasting money in my opinion.

  • What is difference between HD2 that is made in china & HD2 that is made in taiwan? Which is better?

  • I had the us version hd2 since 2010, it is a great device i love it very much. Is a pity that the touch screen only lasted for 11 months, At 2011, the touch screen simply gone. I return the device to t mobile usa, and they replace it to a refubished one. My cousin then change the os to android gingerbread, I love it even more now. But now exactly 11 months later the same problem is back, the touch screen is faulty again! Now i am going to buy a samsung galaxy note

  • the hd2 is very good with flash. very good phone. just has an issue with overheating when your stressing the processor.

  • You will need outlook on your PC Sync the contacts to outlook on your PC Export it from outlook as a .CSV file Import the .CSV file into your hotmail account. When you set up the same account on your phone it will sync.

  • Hey Anthony Jus curious to knw smethng... I got a Nokia Lumia 800 as gift. How can i transfer my data say like contacts frm hd2 to Lumia which has Win7.

  • is it true that HTC HD2 is not good in showing flash?

  • sorry. not going to help with ICS as i have not tried it my self and don't plan to.

  • i wants to put ICS with nexus boot screen on my HD2, please help anthony thanks

  • tons u can flash with hspl

  • By the way, your windows programs will not work in Android. it�s a different OS.

  • When flashing any ROM all data on the existing ROM is lost. You have to backup your Data first.

  • Hy, my back button and home button isnt working on my hd2, is there a way i can flash a clockwork mod rom to my device

  • Will I lose any info like address book, apps, or anything?

  • You find programs for windows mobile the same way you would find programs for your PC. (search the internet for downloads) Go to google and key works in your search is �windows mobile� any version or �pocket PC� download the cab file and copy it to your SD card and use the file explorer on the phone to find and run the installation. e.g. of a search is�� garmin for windows mobile or cookie home tab v2 for windows mobile. You can also get good stuff on XDA developers web site or Windows mobile is has been discontinued some time now so don�t expect to find any new software for the OS. Only old stuff but some are still useful.

  • go to youtube and type it in convert htc hd2 to android choose the simplest one for you you will have to download stuff and do the process it takes a little time to get everything and do it right

  • go to xda-dvelopers and see tutorial on how to make your HD2 into android

  • Just do a google search for programs that are made for windows mobile or pocket PC. Then just copy the installation cab file to your SD and then use the file explorer on the phone to find and run the installation cab. The search could go like this.... garmin for windows mobile or cookie home tab v2 for windows mobile. Hope you get the drift In addition to doing a google search you can get programs and mod from the XDA developers or freewarepocketpc.net

  • the windows 6.5 is old so dont support the skype and the windows phone store for 6.5 is closed, you need hack the unit to support windows 7.5 or android gigabread to run skype, hacking the devices is not easy for a beginner, but if you fallow step by step the hacking process you will habe a exelent phone

  • why is everyone moaning about skype? seriously you guys need to calm down.

  • just read that android jelly bean will not be supporting flash and that Adobe is pulling flash from the android market for all new devices. now that made my decision not to go android so easy because flash support is the only thing i liked about android.

  • Integrated FB skype MSchat SD card, multi tasking Same core in WP8 as in W8 for PC and now support for Trinidad & Tobago in the Market place I have made up my mind to get a WP8 phone when it comes out.

  • can we make video call by skype from this fon??

  • im using FIM version 2.25 for facebook chat. but i dont like it as much as i did palringo.

  • Hey Anthony,Did u find a replacement for Palringo? i badly need one.

  • If you are good at hunting for old software What you are looking for is skypeWM v3.0.0.256.cab

  • No that is not what I�m saying. Let me break it down. Skype version 3 can install on the HD2 that is still running windows mobile And it will work like it always did. The problem is you can�t get the program to download from the skype web site any more. But you can get the download from some one that downloaded it before it was discontinued and use that to install it on your phone.

  • it means i can not install skype on it?and skype wont work on it anymore? am i right?

  • Yes you can put android on a HD2. That question has been answered too many times in this forum. Go back to the older pages and you will find many �how to do it instructions�

  • Yes it will work But skype has stopped supporting windows mobile favouring the new OS Windows Phone. So if you want the installation you have to get it from a windows mobile user that already has it.

  • what about it?

  • can i put android on hd2

  • can i install skype on it?and will skype works on it ?

  • What about installing Android on the HD2?

  • I can�t suggest any wp7 version. Because I only tried it once and decided the OS was too limited for my every day use. Me putting WP7 on my HD2 was my way to try the os before I got a new phone. But I didn�t like it so thats why im still here for now. lol

  • How to remove HSPL 1. Use 7zip to extract the files form your stock ROM on your PC 2. find the file named (RUU_signed.nbh) and rename it leoimg.nbh 3. Copy the renamed file to the root of your SD card. 4. Restart your phone while holding the volume down key. 5. Then follow the on screen instructions. The rom and SPL will be installed from the SD (no PC connection needed) so be sure to have enough battery power remember to do a task 29 after the above is done to truly clean your ROM chip and then install the stock rom again. this is the only true way to remove all buggy files from cooked roms.

  • Thanks Anthony :) How do I remove HSPL? And, can you suggest any particular version of WP7 with link?

  • If you have a copy of your original HTC HD2 ROM/or its update. The easy way is just to start over from scratch. 1. Install the original ROM. 2. Remove HSPL 3. Do a task29 to totally clear your ROM chip 4. Install the original ROM. Now that your phone is back to factory state. Try installing the WP7 like a first time use once again. If you need more details on any of the steps mentioned above let me know. Btw. I been reading up on WP8 and I think that is what I�m going for in a new phone. So I�m going to be saying good bye to you guys/gals on this page when that time comes later this year/ early next year.

  • Hi Anthony. I installed HSPL 2.08 and MAGLDR 1.13 on my HD2 and then flashed WP7 ROM ( ). Then I got another version ( ) and installed this one over the previous one. But turned out that in this version most of the previous functions doesn't work, so i tried to get back to the previous version using MAGLDR. But now I can't get most of the functions to work on my phone. Also, after reinstalling (I used *10. Services, 4. UseLast24NAND * 10. Services, 5. ClearSD MDR) couple of times, now I am getting a Low Storage Space message after I do hard reset. Could you pls help me with this? How can I do a fresh installation of WP7 (plz suggest the best available version) on internal memory as default OS?

  • Yes! Check some of the options in

  • can i install ANDROID on this phone?

  • That sticks together logo shows only on the t-mobile version. If your HD2 is not the US T-mobile version I would say Install HSPL 4 and then replace the crap T-mobile ROM with the unlocked UK HTC HD2 3.14 ROM

  • try doing a hard reset or a ROM re-install

  • Still love my HD2, which I bought almost 3 years ago (!) although I actuallly use an iPhone 4s for daily use. I've kept the HD2 which now runs a NAND version of Android ICS which my kids use around the house as a mini tablet, given that it as no SIM card, and they use it more than my iPad 2. This fantastic handset is almost future proof - what a bargain, and delight, it's proven to have been.

  • You can put icecream sandwich on the hd2 it'll also improve the experience of the device because they have hardware acceleration which will take some of the burden off the CPU go to xda-developers.com they will give you step by step instructions on how to root and rom the device I have the hd2,evo4g and the inspire4g they are all rooted and better for it

  • I replied and gave the reasons why in a longer post and that post was removed. So this is the short version. You can�t put Android on the lumia as it was built for the Windows Phone. OS You can put Android on the HD2 which comes with the Windows Mobile OS but it is a single core phone.

  • Hello Anthony, I usually get them from: mobilism.org

  • no, it's not dead OS. This is the most powerful phone ever, you can install almost all OS here, WP7, Android, Meego, Mac OS, even Windows 98, LOL.

  • If you want to do it the official way Just go the HTC website Tap on help Then tap on Customer Service Contact us Tap on phone contact And pick your region. Call the # that is closest to you and tell them your problem and you will be given the # for the service department. Display assembly replacement can cost +$100US but as this is a thin phone there could be damage to the mother board which could send the price to +$200US The on official way is to buy the parts online and fix it yourself or go to a repair shop of your choice. Just remember you get what you pay for. Disassembly video

  • You can. Fresh HD2?why u prefer to buy a phone nw which z already discontinued and have a dead OS.

  • my phone touch was not working wt will be rate to repair. were is the serivce station for dat.can u please tell within a day

  • My fresh HTC hd2 fell and got its glass touch broken.I want to know whether it could be replaced

  • there are some (touch X) tweeks for the interface, the thing is the link i used more than a year ago just has the names. most of the download links are dead.the link is below but you going to gave to do some Google searching to find downloads for theones you want to try.

  • go to... settings,personalize,vibration.

  • I gave you the link to many ROMs, both SD and NAND� I don�t know which one you want to try. With no answer key you can�t install a NAND rom you can only use the SD dual boot ROMs From a PC pick the one you like and download it from the XDA � Thread link. Then follow the instructions you see there. If you don�t see instructions it�s because it is taken for granted that every one with a HD2 knows how to do this by now. Basic steps for dual boot SD ROMs 1. Download the ROM on your PC. 2. extract the files 3. find the folder name �Android� 4. Copy the folder Android and its contents to the root of your SD card. 5. Open the folder using the file explorer on the phone. 6. double tap CLRCAD (nothing will happen that you can see) 7. double tap HARET (phone will reboot and start installing Android. it could take up to 20min depending on the speed of your SD) 8. When it is done and you are in android set up your google account and shout down the phone. Note: every time you reboot you will start in windows first then you have to run the 2 files in the order mentioned above for the phone to switch to android. it will not take as long after the first complete setup. You cant install any ROM that needs MAGLDR because you do not have a working answer key to use as enter. You should not install the SD ROM on a phone with a windows ROM older than 1.66

  • Hey Anthony, Ssup... Got my old view back, had CHT in my SD, so when i reinstalled jus imported the one which u have asked once to save. Another setting i would like to change is, while typing phone is vibrating for every type, hw to stop tht? And wat else i can try new.

  • thanks for letting me know about the FIM version update. i got version 2.25 on softpedia and everything works now.

  • can you post link to that FIM version? if download no longer available, i can post an email address for you to send me the .cab

  • is it ok to convert hd2 into android 2.3.x ??? pls rply

  • Hey Anthony... Did reset and things look ok now... now jus gng through ur links to get old sexy look for my HD2 :)

  • CSMI Allows you to use any .png File as custom icon for your programs in the start menu. Once the icon has changed in the start menu, go to� My device> Application Data> HTC>ProgLauncher and delete all the files in there and reboot the phone. The new icon files will be generated for your Sense UI quick lunch screen on start-up

  • i have FIM and the chat part of it dose not go pass (Fetching Friends...) im running version 2.16.0.0 what version do you have? been looking for a newer version but the site only has the WP version now.

  • Nik Vel Here are some UI customisations you were asking for If you have already installed CHT Below is the link to some other customisations you can pick and choose from. Note: when installing a new task bar, please install the sdkcert and restart your phone before you install the taskbar cab. Or you are going to have to factory reset your phone again.

  • Dear Freind I m also using ICS in my HTC HD2 (original ROM 6.5), but now i feel that ICS is much more better than WIN 6.5. Some of my friend says that it is slow , hang the phone but for me it works fine at least better than earlier one. Only thing that HD2 has 576 RAM internal memory out of this (after installing system ROM) we get only 90 MB to install the RAM but there is software Link2SD which move all my app from Internal memory to SD card Aslo some software like CROME beta don't work.but ROM has inbuilt browser like crome Which ROM do u use? I USE ICECREAMTOSTI V 1.1AAOKPB36 VBP

  • How to hard reset if you can�t get the phone to complete the boot up sequence. Power or the phone Hold both volume up and down at the same time. Power on the phone, still holding the volume keys When you see the gray screen with the blue writing let go the volume keys Follow the instructions on the screen.

  • If you go to the XDA DEV site there should be an exclusive Facebook chat client. I have seen one on there before. I flashed my device to WP7.5 so I don't really follow anything WM6.5.x. Good luck!

  • Changeing ROMs which is software will not change the trancemiter/resever whaich is hardware How to know a knock off from the original The original has... Windows mobile 6.5 2 sensors in the top left corner next to the front speaker Htc logo right above the windows hardware key Battery compartment has 2 copper balls left and right side of the battery When you look in other... In phone identaty the model should be HTC HD2 T8585 the US version is HTC HD2 T---- hardware info the CPU should be QUALCOMM 1024 MHz

  • Look for an application called : FIM (Facebook Instant Messenger)

  • Hi Anthony How to reset the phone. Please give me step by step...lemme fix the issue ASAP pls :(

  • i've just purchased a hd2. seems like a great phone but it's not compatable with my network = canada Telus/Bell. they don't have an underlying 2G GSM network. it looks like the current band is 3g gsm 900/2100. Telus is HSDPA 850/1900. I noticed that the australian version is 850/2100. I also read that it's possible to change the band frequency using the ROM from a different band frequency. Is this possible with the HD2? I'm also wondering if this is a clone and how would I know? Cause that would be grounds for returning it for a refund. thank you bruce

  • looking for a new app to do facebook chat in WM6.5 as palringo no longer works. dose any one have a name?

  • if you can't get in your phone to install S2U2 the WVGA version you have no choice but to do a hard reset.

  • Nope :( When i was using it a week back, i got a msg from Palringo saying they are going to stop the IM service for all third parties. So it stopped by May 14th. Its not working for me as well. Have possted u on it few days back here :( And wat can we do with the issue i have with my phone? Hw can i reinstall it?

  • There are 2 versions of S2U2 one is for Wide/QVGA and one for Wide/VGA You need to download and install the WideVGA version. b.t.y. is palringo working for you?

  • Hi Anthony, Suddenly i have some prob with my phone. Hung up and i rebooted, now am unable to get into the GUI. At times i can see a ppp up on the screen which is in a very small font saying " You have installed a wrong version of S2U2. Please reinstall the correct one" Guess the S2U2 messed up, what can we do to get it fixed? Only Reset is the go? :(

  • gud phone but my touch is nt properly working 4 last 2 week, i thnk it's digitizer is nt wrking it's nt getting unlok easily wht is the charges to make it in gud state again .can i go gafar lr nt?????????????????

  • May be you haven't seen jailbroken iPhone yet. Watever you said about theme, customization...possible with jailbreak. I can even make iPhone look exactly like your HD2 home screen with htc trademark clock. But the thing is...why should I make my iPhone look like hd2? Like you said, everyone is different. I'm not into theme, widget etc. I think it makes already slow phone more slow. I prefer my phone to be smooth & fast (zero lag), No freezes, good battery and of course great apps. To some extent wp7 is as smooth as iOS but you can't compare it with iOS & android. It's in very early stage and long way to go. Thanks to microsoft's policy to follow apple's footstep with its new mobile os.

  • HTC has put back support for the HD2 on there web site you can get the official 3.14 ROMs the peep/twitter fix and daylight savings time fix

  • By the way im still running my original 3.14ROM with SPL (no cooked ROM or HSPL here) But I customized the UI with Cookie home tab Dinik coloured glass taskbar Ferrari Analog clock Transparent slider with glass selector Opaque tabs Glossy black dialler & keyboard Custom program icons using .png files A combination that makes my HD2 UI look unique. Then if you get board of the since UI there are other paid and free skins you can install and turn off since (none of which needs HSPL) How do you do something like that on the iOS or WP7 ?

  • Forget hardware limitations for a wile� Because if you are into looks you would say the iPhone 4 hardware is a stunner.. But what about the OS? What about the looks of the interface / UI? A major part of a phone UI is its looks. We all look like humans but we don�t all look the same. And a woman I find attractive you may think is a turn off. So wouldn�t you say that iPhone UI looks is very limited? Wouldn�t you say there is no way to make your UI look different and interesting from the millions of other iPhones out there? How do you add your personal touch to the looks of the UI? Both the IOS and WP7 suffer from this problem, a limitation Android don�t have and WM didn�t have.

  • In wat way iphone is limited?? If u jailbreak......u've limitless option. Same thing with android & win mob.....stock is ugly & buggy as hell. Most of time, u have to root & flash whereas in case of iPhone its not really necessary. I used to flash lots of rom when i'd hd2. I did enjoy in some way but its really time consuming.

  • Don�t know where you are But the common Joe here still rocking a feature phone and feature phones don�t have programs like dropbox. and if I hear some one using a wicked dance hall sound for a ring tone. It is easy to just say �bluetooth it to me�. I don�t know them from Adam so I not going to give them my email address that is linked to my phone just like that. Or they could be El Cheapo and say it will cost too much to send 4mb of data. Bluetooth is free and can be done as soon as I ask, no waiting, no forgetting what I asked for.

  • Hey Anthony, When i was in Palringo two days back i got a pop saying Palringo in stopping service for rest all IM frm May 14th.

  • Then you should hold onto your beloved hd2. You r right that lack of mass storage in iPhone is one of biggest culprit for me too. But u can get away with that if you jailbreak it. As for bluetooth file sharing....i don't care as I think it is slow and there are more better ways to share files....for e.g. through dropbox etc. I want to jailbreak but jailbreak community is always one step back with iphone4s. No problem with previous version but esp with 4s....they can't keep with apple's new update. I have to downgrade to jailbreak...which i don't want. So for time being, I'm going around with extra usb drive in my pocket:)

  • im i going crazy or did palringo stop surpporting windows mobile? i not seeing my facebook or msn in it...

  • We just got 4G cell phone sevice here. But there is not unlimited plan. How many of you here use 4G and on ravage how much data do you use a month? Want to see if any of the data plans makes any sense getting rid of my unlimited EDGE for.

  • I would admit the iPhone dose look better with every version that comes out but the version that suits me has not come out as yet. I customised the hell out of my HD2 interface and still wish I could do more. The iphone interface is as interesting as a Nortel office phone to me. Siri need to learn more about the Caribbean and the people there. It needs a flash drive mode (for transporting files) why have a flash drive when your phone has so much space on it? And it must be able to shear files using bluetooth (most people I know don�t have data plans and depend on bluetooth or wifi to shear files when not home or in the office) For me an iPhone would make a great 2nd phone. Not my only phone like what my HD2 is right now. iPhone is no longer a big deal to my age group here where I am. You find the 50 and over and the 20 and under are the once that are the ones buying it The 25-45 group are going for Android and must of them want a galaxy Android is a top class PDA OS for me. Not so good at being a business phone. The sorting of contacts is way too limited. As for WP7 lol its not too good at anything. But running smooth BB has that nasty habit of lagging after months of use. Which is a HELL NO in by book. I hate waiting and I hate lines I really do want a change. But my problem is� change to what? Everything now has more down sides than I want to deal with.

  • IPhone is too limited. IPhone is just more popular. Not the best. It's a status symbol. Android is by far better then iPhone hands down. Android has better hardware and UI.

  • I wouldn't hold my breathe for MS to come out with something great. I think Android and iPhone will be the major players for awhile.

  • Geky, how you upgrade it to Android 2.3.7? I am currently using 2.2. I also want to upgrade, please give me the detail procedre how to upgrade it to 2.3.7.

  • Ya specwise sg3 is the king. But design-wise, the ugliest phone i've ever seen. Whether it be phone, computer, camera etc...my first preference is always hardware...i mean looks, design & built quality. The inner thing like cpu, software etc is secondary for me. Now I've iphone4s ....fully satisfied and there's no reason for me to buy sg3 or one x. I just wait for iphone5. I've always recommended you to buy iPhone. You should give a try. Those millions of apps in iTunes is simply amazing. Now I feel that I'm stuck with iPhone forever even I wanna a change. The reason is...I have tons of amazing paid apps...which i can't find in other platform. Even it exits in other platform, not the same experience like in iOS. Btw I have 2nd phone motorola atrix (not bad....it got dual core, 1gb ram). But I tell you man......its day & night difference between this & iPhone. My 4s last 1.5 days with heavy use but this motorola...forget it. I think my hd2 was way better than this droid motorola. Only thing is that you can't do lots of customization on iPhone like in android....little boring but the rest of the thing is smooth & flawless. I've used bb, hd2, android in the past....they are ok but not great like iPhone. Jump onto iPhone. You won't regret it. Those million of apps will fulfill & serve your every needs. You can do jailbreak if u want little more outta it. I've not done jailbreak since I am fine as the way it is.

  • Hey Anthony, Did Palringo stopped working for u as well????? :( Mine is dead !!!

  • If I had to buy one of the 2 mentioned, I would go for the SGSIII The performance charts shows the SGSIII beating the One X at everything but one. Not to mention I have a problem with a phone that dose not have a user changeable battery & no SD card slot. The only thing I cold think of that the One X had over the SGSIII was the Sense UI

  • Anthony....you will not see your dream phone anytime soon. At least not in our lifetime. Btw....wat u say about Htc one x & sg3?? Both of them are great. This time samsung put "dedicated led notification" for sg3.....i mean like bb. Its a simple very useful features that most of manufacturers skip except bb.

  • No plans to get an Android or a WP7 phone. Trying to get my wife to put a NAND Android on her HD2, so we can swap phones from time to time but having no luck with that, :) I�m waiting to see what WP8 has to offer and maybe buy something when WP9 comes out. (if my HD2 lives that long.) This is the logiest I have had any phone. Normally I break them or get them stolen in some carnival fete. Had the one stolen twice already but thanks to Remote Tracker software I got it back both times.

  • This is a good smartphone. Now i have android 2.3.7 CM7 nand instaled,and works perfect.I love this phone.:* xD

  • Well I've retired my HD2. Just bought my Galaxy Note. Love the Note. Cannot go to anything smaller now.... I rarely use my Toshiba Tab. The Note works best as a phone and Tab replacement. No need to carry two devices now. Just waiting on ICS Sandwich for the Note. I still use the HD2 when i workout. Don't want to mess up my Note. I see Anthony is still here. When R U getting an Android phone??? Still nothing from MS looks good to me.....

  • The phone I want to upgrade to should have� 1. Gorilla tuff body not just screen, capable off standing up to 300 pounds of weight. 2. Should be water resistant up to 2meters 3. The screen should be not less than 4.5� with some kind of solar charging technology built into it that could charge from the light emitted from a compact florescent bulb. But still have thin body 4. Battery should give me 2 or more days of heavy use. 5. Must be compatible with powermat charging right out of the box. 6. Should have 2 multi format card reader slots 7. A multi touch resistive screen. Sweaty hands on a capacitive screen is a nightmare 8. Voice commands that don�t require me to press something on the phone first or put on a US accent so it could understand me. 9. It should have an I.R. blaster with internet programmable universal remote software. 10. The camera should be as good as a DSLR with double image stabilization 11. The OS should be 100% comp able with windows desktop so I can drag & drop files no conversion or 3rd party software needed. 12. The UI should be very graphical with endless user customisable options. 13. As for software, if it can run on a netbook it should be able to run on the phone. 14 contacts should be able to be sorted and filed using any available field in the list. 15 it should have the chrome web browser 16. Emulators for every smart phone OS made so I could just run/install a program and use it with out having to change OS. 17. It should have an fm radio that can output to A2DP speakers 18. And it should cost not more than 400US Now which company will make this dream a reality for me?

  • OH MY GLOB!!! HTC DESIGNS IS WONDERFUL!!! the design is much better than the GS3 but the specs i think no one tops the GS3 for now

  • Hey Anthony.... Long time :)) Would like to change the metal panel on my phone,which covers the battery area. got some scratchz on it. is it possible to get that alone or need to change whole outer case?And if we can get that alone,pls get me link whr i can order ot online.

  • i dnt like the windows and really wanna keep the phone but wld like to put to android is it that hard and do u kno hw..

  • Each windows mobile phone only comes with one language in the OS. If you want to change the language you have to change your ROM software. It is an un-authorised ROM change so it will void your warranty, but it can be done once you know for a fact you have an authentic HTC HD2 and not some Chinese knockoff that just looks like a HD2.

  • You are absolutely right about branded fone. Lesson learned, never again. I used to be WinMo fan. I spent a fortune on various applications. I miss now Egress rss reader and Agenda . They are best , not to be found in android market.

  • hai,in htc hd 02 in t-mobiles,switch phone on or off making very difficult,kindly advice me how to operate and function.

  • Its not Photoshop but �Paint Now Mobile� Lets you do some photo is a free app that lets you do some photo editing on your phone. You can get it from Omarket for download.

  • hi,i want to ask you if this unit is cannot change the language?because my phone is chinese and i dont know how to change it,and when im going to the shop they ask that this phone is for chinese only,hope you reply soon,thanks

  • hi,i want to ask you if this unit is cannot change the language?because my phone is chinese and i dont know how to change it,and when im going to the shop they ask that this phone is for chinese only,hope you reply soon,thanks

  • paint now mobile is free for download from Omarket.

  • very true anthony, never buy provider marked phoons my htc hd2 T8585 is very gud for internet n very fast, but i dont not even have a photo edit software on it, i can only rotate pict, notting els n thats very sad for a such expensif phoon

  • this phone was made in 2009... we are in 2012.. and this phone still rock.. it's specs are very good.. and can install android in ths phone even ICS!!!... i hope this phone give more years of pleasure

  • Glad you don't have freezing issues, it's great phone , no doubt. I also used to be WinMo guy. It was sad to say goodbuy to my collection of winmo applications. I especially miss Egress rss reader and Agenda Fusion. In my household we have iphone , winmo , android and even symbian. :))

  • Sorry to hear how things turned out for you. The 2 HD2 phones in my house are still going strong but then we don�t have the T-mobile version. I tried the T-mobile US ROM on my T8585 HD2 before my wife got her HD2 and it was a nightmare. so she got the T8585 model as well. I make it a point never to buy provider branded phones after the problem I had in the past doing that. Its like providers make it a point to screw with the phones so by the end of your contract you are dieing to buy a new one. I had a provider branded Sony Ericsson w600 a grand total of 2 mounts and it came apart at the swivel hinge. Went through hell to get them to fix it and as soon as it was fixed I sold it and got my first window phone, the qtek s200 and was hooked on windows from then. Now that the HD2 is the last window mobile phone I don't really know where I�m going next. Hope I can get a few more years out of my HD2 before it becomes totally obsolete. So the 2 things I�m never going to do again is buy a provider branded phone or a phone with a lot of moving parts. Flip slide turn twist bend all sound like break-fast to me.

  • Hi Anthony, Yes , it is similar to the pictures. But mine has 3 layers of copper shits. (Folded 3 times) and it has copper strips along both sides. I forgot to tell that I even added additional 2 layers to have better cooling effect. No avail. I was like die hard on HD2 , it has best design and specs. I'd been hanging to it , until it failed me on very important phone call . It f*cking froze in middle of conversation. From now on , I stick to best company that makes radio equipment - Ericsson. Phone functions are essential after all. Unfortunately Ericsson is abandoning handset bussiness.

  • Asking the wrong person. I use Android SD version I have helped friend install NAND versions of Android but I don�t use it my self. If I use Android more than once a month, that�s a lot for me. I only like android for flash in the web browser. I�m clueless about what apps are available

  • Yes you are right; heat will screw you with this phone. That�s why the battery cover is made of metal, its to dissipate heat away from the CPU. it is connected to the internals of the phone by 2 copper balls the are on each side of the batter compartment. I even use the state indicator for temperature in the cookie home tap app to monitor heat once the phone is on to avoid problems.

  • What you are saying about the copper is very interesting Did inside you phone when you took it apart look like the pictures in the link below or were there more copper than that. There seem to be allot of knockoff of this phone going around. Even more now that HTC is no longer making them.

  • No I don�t know anyone personally from India Just one guy that is in here from time to time. As for your second question I�m not to sure what you are asking. Could you explain yourself a little better? You do know when you install a NAND ROM it totally replaces the ROM on the phone NAND is the type of ROM chip used in the phone where the software is stored. You can only have 1 OS installed in your NAND space at any one time. If you what to do dual booting you have to leave you NAND windows 6.5 intact and install a SD version of Android. Which is totally different from the instructions I gave for installing a NAND android ROM.

  • Hi people. I posted here couple weeks ago about my frustration and unpleasant experience with HTD HD2. At first I liked everything with this device, I literally slept with it. It was BIG LOVE until it suddenly started freezing. I got T-Mobile (USA) version of it. Originally it didn't bother me. It started freezing mostly on downloads. Then it started freezing during the call , then on browsing. Believe me it wasn't because of temp files and lack of memory. I hard reset to original OS , didn't install anything , but freezing didn't go away. I disabled everything - geo, sense , wallpapers. No help. I spent tons of my precious time to find out what is the problem, and now I agree with other people freezing is causing by processor overhit. Why I am convinced.? I disassembled my device and immediately saw additional copper pads/patches/shits attached to phone internals . It was definetly added by someone after original assembling. And it looked like not NOT original design. ( I bought my phone from new from T-Mobile ) . Here the list what I did to phone in order to resolve the problem with freezing: 1. Hard reset. 2. Uninstall many original application that had major impact on memory use 3. Updated to official ROM and Radio. 4. Install custom WinMO ROM . Energy ROM. Liked it over T-Mobile 5. Install Android. Tried AmeriCan ( it's the best for HD2, but Data connection is not working) , CyanogenMod 7 ( it's also very nice, worked everything), ICS ( very slow) , Galaxy's version ( didn't like it all, though everything was working) But f*cking freezing was still there. So after 2 years with HD2 I put it to rest. Never HTC again. Now I've been using SE Xperia Arc ( cost me 299.99 USD , brand new) . I was fan of Ericsson phones before. Very nice andorid device. Stable , cute design, lot of apps, and most important , muuuuch better signal reception and muuuch better battery life. Hope my post will be userful for someone here.

  • Hi, Anthony. I gave out my HTC HD2 and I am presently about to get a Samsung Galaxy Note. I have always loved wide screen phones. I present use a HP Ipaq 214 running Windows Mobile 6.0 because I can switch between running apps with a single touch.I installed an app WAKU WKTASK which makes this possible. My question is is there no similar app on the android market that allows you to switch app with only ONE TOUCH.I dont like having to do a long press on the home screen and now pressing the icon you want. I am asking cos I know you do a lot of stuff with android on your hd2. thanks

  • Dear anthony Do u know some one in Mumbai India by paying him he will put NAND android On my Windows Hd2 6.5? If not can I put software in My 16 gb storage(8 gb free) card of. Any NAND rom along with Rom of windows 6.5 which is already in build If yes , how can I proceed Thanks VBP

  • Yo guys Check this knock off of the HTC HD2 with dual sim Let me know what you think.

  • �Task 29� Download this file and keep it on your PC This along with 7-zip and your 3.14 ROM is needed if ever you decide to put your phone back to its original condition.

  • If you would like to return to your Original ROM and SPL I can post the steps for that later on. Just let me know.

  • I can�t tell you which is the best ROM because I have not used every ROM made. I can only give you me give you my personal opinion. 1. I would not install any cooked ROM using ICS because its still fairly new and may be very glitchy on your HD2 for every day use. Gingerbread has bean around a lot longer and would be closer to fully functional. 2. I would look for a ROM with Sense UI because I find Android to be ugly without it. But that is just my liking� take note that the Sense UI is more taxing on your CPU & GPU. ANSWER TO THE QUESTION SHOULD YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF INSTALLING THE NAND ANDROID ROM OF YOUR CHOICE. It is always good to follow the instructions of the ROM provider because different NAND Android ROMs have different ways to be installed by MAGLDR but you should understand what you are doing because I can see the instructions of that site are a bit outdated and would need some modification for some one with a 3.14 HTC ROM. also I would use the newer HSPL 3 not 2 and MAGLDR 1.13 not the older 1.11 UNDER STANDING THE PREPARATION TO INSTALL A NAND ANDROID ROM What you are trying to accomplish is install an unauthorised Android ROM on a Windows mobile phone. So you have to get pass the SPL security that authenticates the ROM and you must install a boot-loader capable of loading Android when the phone turns on. As the boot-loader that is built into your ROM chip is made for windows. In addition you must have the most up-to-date radio version because it has the drivers needed for your hardware to communicate with the software. 1. Getting pass the SPL is done by replacing it with a matching version HSPL 2. The Android boot-loader is MAGLDR (1.13 being the newest version to date.) 3. the most up-to-date radio version for the HD2 is in the 3.14 ROM (version 2.15.50.14) as it is the last ROM made by HTC. The matching HSPL for the SPL of a 3.14 HTC ROM is HSPL4 but a lot of cooked ROM don�t work well or not at all with HSPL4 so you have to install HSPL 3 that dose not match with your 3.14 ROM. WHAT TO DO A. Downgrade your phone to its 1.66.xxx.x ROM which has a SPL that matches with HSPL3. B. Follow the instructions to install HSPL and install HSPL 3. after confirm that it was installed by checking your windows boot-loader to see if it is no longer saying SPL but now saying HSPL C. Reinstall the 3.14 ROM so it will upgrade the old radio version in the 1.66 ROM to the newest version in the 3.14 ROM (version 2.15.50.14) Note:- reinstalling a ROM the normal way will not remove HSPL D. Follow the instruction to install MAGLDR 1.13 (most up-to-date boot-loader for the NAND Android ROM to-date) From this point you can follow the instruction of what ever ROM you decide to install.

  • 2012-04-23 14:12 THANKS I have downloaded all the file as per instructed I have now original ROM in my PC I have selected MIUI & downloaded from official site Now shoild i follow instruction ? which is better ROM ? regards & Thanks VBP N

  • Follow up to my message with time stamp 2012-04-23 14:12 I�m putting all the links here for any one that wants them before this ID gets blocked as well because im never going to log in here using a facebook account. Link for the HSPL Download HSPL3 link for 7-zip Link for MAGLDR 1.13 Link to Android ROMs You are only looking at the ROMs with �NAND� as the ROM type and there are versions with and without �HTC SENCE UI�

  • Which is best for the device is easy. The original HTC windows mobile 3.14.xxx.x ROM Now if you are asking which is best for you that�s a hole different story. And the only way to know is to try them all. (Any think you do can be undone once you keep a downloaded copy of your original ROM on your PC.) The combination I use is the 3.14 ROM with CHT V2 and AmeriCan Android running off the SD.

  • Sorry it took so long to reply but Both my phone and home ID has been blocked from posting here. And yes you can go back to windows mobile any time you lick once you keep a copy of the ROM on your PC. This is the list of files you need to download 1. The ROM you have now 1.34.405.2 2.

  • If you are looking to change your OS from windows 6.5 and about time ;-) head over to xda developers HD2 forum. Everything you need is there, I did mine last year and at the moment i'm running the latest MIUI ROM, this is what this phone was made for. If you can follow clear instructions then you will have no problems at all but stray from the path and you can easily make your phone a paper weight.

  • Dear Sir Thanks for help yes i have installed ROM 3.14.405.2(04666)WWE than earlier version from HTC web site I donot have copy of ROM 3.14.405.2(04666)WWE My PC operating system is windows 7 ultimate, 32 bit, WITH 3 GB RAM MY question if i failed to installed ANDROID , can i switch it back to Original WINDOWS 6.5? VBP

  • Ok Have you ever installed a ROM on your phone before? What OS is on your PC, XP, Vista, 7? 32 or 64bit Do you have a copy of your 3.14.405.2 ROM on your PC? and don't leave the nickname as Anonymous makes following a conversion slow.

  • what is question ?, please let me know? Also let me know we link? ONCE AGAIN .. my rom version is 3.14.405.2(04666)wwe dt:09/29/10 radio version is 2.15.50.14, os version 5.2.21913(21913.5.0.94) protocol version 15.42.50.11U VBP

  • To the users of the HD2 that are still running windows mobile 6.5 I found an app on Omarket that easily allows you to clean internal storage that is consumed by the temp files of the apps you have running on the phone. It called ClearTemp and it can be found for download on the Omarket. Low storage space on the internal memory is the #1 reason for freezing on this phone.

  • Yes it is possible to change to android but I�m not getting into the detail Unless I know you are going to reply to my questions and follow instructions. Other than that I could just give you a web link and you find your way from there.

  • dear sir my HTC HD2 is 2.5 years old, now i want to change software from windows 6.5 to android my rom version is 3.14.405.2(04666)wwe dt:09/29/10 radio version is 2.15.50.14, os version 5.2.21913(21913.5.0.94) can any one help me is it possible , if yes how? is it possible to change to windows 6.5 to windows 7.5 ?is yes how VBP

  • Guys, This phone support android, windows and even ubuntu. Just google. Android can be installed on this very easily.

  • In google play, you can try free trial, if you are sutisfy then buy full version

  • Your twitter problem is being caused by a change that was done on the twitter client. There was a fix for it on the HTC site but HTC has pulled all support for this discontinued phone. Your best bet now is to see if you can find the patch for peeps on the XDA web site. I don�t use twitter so I can�t really help in finding a working patch.

  • Not to be rude but I would really like to know. If you just a few days ago bought this phone and it cost you a fortune, why did you buy it if you really wanted an android phone and it clearly stages on the box this is a windows mobile phone? I understand someone that has it a long time (back when it was new) feeling for a change and deciding to switch to android but you just went and spend a lot of money to get this 3year old phone. What was your reason for this? And why didn�t you just buy an Android phone if it is Android you wanted? Or even a Windows Phone 7.5 device which is what replaced Windows Mobile? What was the deciding factor when you said �I�m going to get a HTC HD2�

  • Start by looking a your ROM version and see if you have the last ROM made by HTC which is the 3.14.xxx.x ROM If you don�t have this rom and the ROM version you have is older than 1.66.xxx.x you should update your ROM. This will fix a lot of known Bugs in this phone. Go to settings>about phone>software information Your ROM version will be written in there. BTW you just got the phone don�t rush to put Android on it. You will have plenty of time to mess with unauthorized ROMs on your phone later on. Get to know what you have, how it works before you go screwing with it.

  • hu guys, i have HD2 and still working perfrct but the only thing is that my twitter is not working, can please any body advise me how solve this prob. Thnx

  • pls how can i change from OS to Android Gingerbread..need help

  • i just bought this phone few days ago befor i got to know about this room, pls can sombody tell me how to get the best out of this and how to get the latest updates to enhance the performance..pls it cost me a fortune and i dont want to be discouraged.. help!!

  • is there any option of skype video calling

  • my first HTC and its gr8 had problem initially, but then got official update and everything was gra8 then. Its 2 yrs I have used android 2.3 (GB) and 4.0. Now I'm on wp7.5 Mango and the phone supports window 6.5 and meego i even use dual boot by far the best phone made

  • This phone has been discontinued by HTC so they no longer have any kind of official upgrades or patches/hotfix of any kind for it. Last official ROM made was 3.14.xxx.x for WM6.5 and the only way to get that now is from a friend or XDA If you want official buy a new phone. If you want unofficial look on XDA.

  • Currently still the best device ever made. Esp for its ability to run so many OS, even make it dualboot! So much happy with it

  • The best fricken phone I ever had. Bought it the day it was available and still using with Android GB ROM. Support is still running strong at XDADevelopers. ICS ROMs are in early stages of development available through XDA.

  • is there an offical update to windows phone 7.5?

  • R.I.P htc hd2 and the windows phone 6.xxx market..

  • It's a Windows Phone, not Android, you can't unless you use a Custom ROM

  • sure you can.Go to xda-developers.com

  • I think it's a very good phone. Sometimes it does freeze but what phone doesn't? My dad, my step mum and myself have had this phone and nothing bad has ever happened. Sometimes it can be a bit slow when trying to text. The qwerty keyboard for text is good, but often it presses the wrong letter, and comes up with the wrong word. The camera is excellent, the photos turn out amazing, and it has great focus. I would reccomend this phone to anyone. The only downsides are phone calls drain the battery, and the battery life overall only lasts a day, but that is usual for phones now days. Also, the texting issue can be annoying, but not too bad. Can be a bit slow, and will freeze, but after a few seconds it will sort itself out.

  • dont flash htc hd2 room to android..... touch screen problems after flash room....pleas....pleas...i have flash my htc hd2 and after flashing the room i still have a typing touch screen problems so beter dont flash the room......

  • ihav a little bit problem? i hered that instaling of android on hd2 make something problem. is it right?

  • I never buy HTC product again. I'v had enough with my HD2. It freesez no matter what. I tried everything, disabling Sense, disabling geo-location, disabling data communications, upgrading ROMs. Last resort was switching to Android. Yes, I liked Android, much superior OS then winmo ( I put CM7ite CyanogenMod android), but after installing and playing Angry Birds Space it freezed again. I have had this phone for almost 2 years. Very disappointed in HTC.

  • where did you download your pro amp?

  • Flashed it with android. It's an amazing gadget. Solid design, high spec, good performance, best sound with or without ear piece, continuous android software support in xda developers forum. Missing front camera??... but who cares. The best gadget ever. All that i need is in it. Love it! :)

  • having hd2 as having the whole word in my hands :)) everything u can ever desire windows or andriod no matter .. only front cam missing to say i dont need another device for the rest of my life .. all the best hd2

  • upgrade to android install pro amp sound better than ipod

  • Fully recommand it :) That's the best phone i ever had!

  • automatic reboot cant open windows

  • Well I finally purchased the unlock ver of the Galaxy Note.... Just got it Friday, and I must say "I LOVE this phone"..... Was just waiting to see if it will get ICS update (Yes with new pen apps as well.... Can't wait for that...). This was the phone I was looking for.... I still love my HD2 too. Will still keep the HD2 and use it when I workout, running, etc... Movies on the Note is GREAT...... Cant wait for ICS for the note.... I'll keep my Note and HD2 for awhile now... Then see what comes out in a few years......

  • My HD2 runs Cyanogen Mod 9 now based off Ice cream sandwich. i fully love the flexibility, OS's i can run on it. Ubuntu, windows 95,96,xp Android 2.2, 2.3, 4.03 Windows phone 6.5, 7 Cyanogen Mod 7(based off android 2.3) Cyanogen Mod 9(based off android 4.03) Miui based off 2.3 MeeGo PlayStation 1 emulator for Windows CE devices was also ported. thus making this the most versatile phone going! pretty much any Os can be used and it doesnt take long!! i can install ICS on an HD2 in 20mins!

  • so you would tell your best friend that looking to buy a android phone today to buy this over a quad-core ICS phone because it can run WP7 and Android on a single-core CPU??? with friends like you, who needs enemies? :)

  • HTC no longer keep ROMs for the HD2 on there server. that's what happens when you have a discontinued phone with a discontinued OS. he/she has to get the stuck ROM from XDA but they must know there full ROM # to download the correct one.

  • This Phone is far far from dead! It runs WP7 and Android . Right up to ICS !! Wake up !!

  • Go to htc site download and flash the original stock htc hd2. I had simmilar problem

  • Thanks a lot Mr Anthony for your reply....

  • OLD with dead OS phone VS OLD with lame, close to dead OS Phone. I see you are a lover of the older girls :) I say the HD2 is the better of the 2 has-beens; you could still try to keep it in the game of modern smart phones with an Android cooked ROM.

  • Hey guys what do u suggest HTC HD2 or Nokia 500??

  • Hey guys what do u suggest Htc HD2 or Nokia 500???

  • Thanks Mr Anthony for ur prompt reply :)

  • what happen with it. it is good one.

  • 4 ways to recycle your HD2 1. Use it as a 4.3inch Garmin Nav unit. 2. use it as mp3 player at the GYM with blue tooth ear buds 3. With the right app it can be a LED torch light. 4. Give it for free to some one that wants it more than you.

  • The description good to describe battery live is relative. It depends on what you considers good. Good for you may be �ok� or me and horrible for the next person. Android will not improve perforce, is still going to perform like a HD2. With Android OS On a phone with a single core 1GHz scorpion CPU and 448mb of RAM Keep in-mind that a GSII has a dual-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 1gb of RAM And a new HTC One X runs Android on a Quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU and 1gb of RAM Improved performance on the HD2 is gained by installing an optimised cooked ROM or by having the last ROM made by HTC installed on it which is the 3.14.xxx.x and stripping out all the bloat-wear Don�t confuse Performance with functionality When you install and Android on an HD2 it�s because you decide you want to use android apps that you can�t get in window mobile. Newer versions of Android are more demanding on resources than old windows mobile OS, so what do you think that dose for performance if you can�t change the hardware in the HD2?

  • i am in need of recycling my htc hd2. because i had problem with it.

  • Hi, am planning to buy this phone. Just wanted to know if the battery backup is good and what if after sometime I change the os to android will it improve the performance...

  • the original extended battery makes the phone look like HTC's hump back child but if you want it that bad follow the link bellow.

  • Hello Mr Anthony and rest of members, Need ur urgent help, i m looking to buy Original HTC HD2 Extended battery, could u help me frm where can i buy ? Thanks.

  • Small correction to your statement You can�t have all 3 OS at the same time. You can have WM6.5 and Android or WP7 & Android. You phone only has one ROM chip and only one OS can be on it at a time. Of the 3 only the Android OS is capable of running off the SD card to give you multiple OS at the same time. And the point I was making about buying a HD2 now is�. If you never used WM6.5 or older before no point in buying a phone with that OS now. Because it�s a dead OS to the software market and the maker of the OS more than a year now. So buying a HD2 now is not really future proofing your self.

  • Ok.. You trying to install a NAND Android ROM and you got stuck. But you didn�t say exactly where along the steps you got stock. Was it before of after you installed MAGLDR? I can see you never get the HSPL installed because the #s you gave still only say SPL in front of them. What version of HSPL were you trying to install? And on what version official HTC ROM where you trying to install it? Knowing everything you did up to the point where you got stuck, will help greatly in telling you what method to use to restore your phone. Or even get Android on it. Or you could just say �F� that and do as TASK 29 which will totally wipe the phone ROM chip and start from scratch. It�s not complicated to do if you can follow instructions to the �T� and you know the ROM version that you originally had on the phone. You said it was it was Italian but that is not a ROM #. Was it 3.14.408.2 or 1.66.408.1 or was if a provider phone with some other # ? this is IMPORTANT�.. So which way do you want to go? Make a decision and get back to me with answers to the questions. It�s the only way I can get you out of your mess. BTY try to keep the battery charged. Take it out of the phone if you have to.

  • Anthony, is a HD2 italian, i was trying to flash android, now its stuck and everything i try to do, nothing happens. Always stuck on tri color screen with SPL 2.08.0000ii

  • The main question is: why do u want buy HD2?!?!? Just curiosity? Is there something that only HD2 has that iOS doesn't?!? Do u have any complain about iOS??

  • You just forgot to mention it's possible to install Android and even WP7 on HD2, so u'll get 3 OS at same time and on the same device!!! Can u get something like that from WP8 devices?!? For the record, I'm with you, still using WM6.5 (Xperia X1a) and I don't see another OS to replace it!

  • There is no point in getting a HD2 now. It�s been discontinued over a year now. HTC has stopped software support for the device and Microsoft has even stopped support of the OS. If you can wait a bit, I would say buy a WP8 phone when that comes out later this year. Other than that, just go android. WM6.5 is a dead, only me and a small few still like to use it. And all the talk about you can put Android on a HD2 is only good for the people that already have it. Not a selling point for some one looking for a new phone.

  • Hd2 is awewome n bettr thn ny othr phones i used, including Apple. But am not sure why u want to switch to HD2 wen HTC has stopped production of hd2 two yrs back already.

  • Its For All.. Can Anyone Help Me Chosing... iPhone 4 or HD2??? currently M Using iPhone 4... But its Been Very long... Since 2g m using iphone... then 3g, 3gs. and now 4g but yet want to switch to hd2... any drawback of hd2?? yet 4g lasts in battery for one day..

  • cool

  • remove the battery

  • Are you stupid or are you stupid? When you changed the OS you violated all warranties and terms of use. If you did that with any brand phone, they would tell you the same thing. If the change of OS was an official HTC authorized option, you would have gotten the download on the HTC site. Next time you want to go making unauthorized changes to any device. Make shore you know what the consequences are and be ready to live with them if you still do it. By the way, not because your warranty is voided means you can�t get your phone fixed. All it really means is you have to buy the screen assembly your self and take it to a professional with the required tools and know-how and PAY them to change the display assemble. Don�t be stupid twice and take it to a hack shop or try doing it your self.

  • I would be happy to help you, but there are I few things I need to know first. What was your original ROM? What were you trying to do when you got stuck at this point? Give all the steps you did just before you got stuck. Do you have a copy of your original ROM on your PC?

  • Hi everybody, i'm stuck on WSOD. I stil can access bootloader, the red,green,blue, white screen. It displays as follow: PB81100 HX-BC SPL-2.08.0000ii 8G XE MicroP(Led) 0x05 Any clue on how to get out of this? Thanks in advance i've tried everything, flashin a new hspl, stock rom, nothing happens...

  • Google it bro. I'm getting my HD2 Monday. Been doing a lot of reading. I would suggest you do the same. There are several ways to upgrade to the Andriod, just depends on your cup of tea.

  • Anthony, My phone�s (HD2) Free storage capacity is going down. Last week the free Storage was showing 30.00 MB, at the moment it is only 17.01 MB. I do surf a lot with this device but not saving anything in the device (photos and videos are saving in SD Card). Nothing is running in the task manager (I end all the application from the Task Manager). Is there any temporary internet files running in this phone? How this storage capacity is going down? Please advise. Thanks, Rahil

  • I can't say that it's theoretically impossible to port Android to this phone but there is no known way to do it, and I'm sure nobody would care to since it's an old phone. What I'm saying is that it's so close to impossible, you might as well say it is.

  • I was the proud owner of one. This work of beauty is but a member of a dying breed of quality phones. A phone whose glory days might be over but still lives on with all the work done on it. If anything, just don't treat it roughly, it's a little fragile really. I damaged the microUSB connector and apparently the PCB after using too much force to insert it (at that time, I faced the issue of the slanted connector). I'm contemplating buying another one to replace the SGSII I bought to replace it. Great phone, on par with just about anything on the market now.

  • If you are seeing white patches you have a LCD display with damaged pixels The screen is made up in 3 layers. The glass The Digitizer The LCD Display You can buy the LCD only for about $37US (not recommended) Or you can buy the entire assembly for about $60US Don�t try to install it your self because it requires micro soldering and changing of gaskets to protect the new LCD from getting condensation/ water damage. Better have a professional repair center change it. Or just have HTC do the replacement The number I called was 18886171113

  • what about the screen quality.. i have found some white patches on the screen in the backgroung... i have tried several settings regarding the issue. but unable to fix it.. changed several wallpapers.

  • Just enable Data Transfer and OS X will recognize it as regular USB mass storage device.

  • By default photos are saved to the SD card in� DCIM>100MEDIA Just connect your phone to the MAC using the USB cable and pick Disk Drive mode. That will give you access to the SD as if it was a flash drive.

  • There is no whatspp for windows mobile But you can have it on you HD2 if you install Android as a dualboot or your main OS

  • Yes the display will be in true color.

  • can I download my photos to a macbook pro and if so how?

  • Install Android on HTC HD2 Windows Mobile Phone

  • can i download whatspp on this phone?

  • I see that the display is just 65K colors, if I upgrade to Android 4 or Window phone 7, can it be 16M colors as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 does? Thanks a lot for replying me

  • YES IT CAN, This question have been answered thousands of times, forget the windows mobile 6,5...its shit, convert it to android or windows phone 7,5 or 7,0 ,but go android better!! here:

  • hi everyone Can the Operating System(OS) of this phone be upgraded to Android?

  • what software are you trying to put on.

  • Hi Anthony Have a prob here with my phone. the short cuts on my home screen, the bottom scrolling one is nt displayng completely. it seems like it has gone dwn n i can see only a small part of those icons on the screen. hw to fix it. i jus tried to uninstall cookies home tab, still same.

  • pls I need u guys to help me with information on how to download some software bcos whenever I do it ask me to run d application first and I dont know how to do that. am not enjoying my phone. what do I do

  • Go to forum.xda-developers.com and explore. You should find some awesome Android ROMs. I am proud that I use Android version 4.0.3 (Ice cream sandwich) on my HD2 and it does best of HD2.

  • Yes you can run Android on it and you need the version off an HTC Desire. It runs very good on it.

  • I have also turned it on to Android en it works fine. Fast and all the apps are running on it i'm also satisfied about this HD2 that i have now for almost 2 years and a lot of problems with windows on it. But thats over now.

  • how to turn it to android ???

  • A good case for those that want to know Translucent Design to protect against shock damage to internal if your phone falls Lip on case prevents screen from getting a direct hit if it falls to the floor. Lip dose not interfere with the proximity sensor that is in the top left corner. Edge of camera lends is protected.

  • It's good phone.i have turne it in Android.and i'm verry satisfed.

  • Thank you Anthony, that was usefull.

  • There are 3 options for the keypad tone. (Long tones, short tones & off) the default is short tones. The settings are located�. Tap phone>Menu>Options>Menu>Network selection>Phone (tab) From there you pick from the keypad dropdown.

  • can we install android on htc hd2????

  • I agree with most of the brilliant people who say that the device is one of a kind and will remain a suitable choice if you ever wanted to buy a device that can run on android,WM and WP. I done so many tests on the device and didn't find a single mistake in making it. The design is smooth, the screen is durable and the battery lasts far longer than some of new devices out there.

  • can we update os to the windows mango 7.5??????

  • Anthony,I want to reduce/mute the key pad volume of HD2. Can you tell me how? Thanks in advance.

  • This is one of the best phones ever made for its time.. I have had this phone since 2009 I have been able to run 5 different operating systems. I'm currently running on a dual boot of Android and Windows Phone 7 using mgldr split on a 32GB card. I have kept it in a case with a screen protector and it still looks as good as the day I bought it.. these complaints about screen issues are stupid, just look after your device it will remain intact. If you know how to get the full potential out of this phone then you would agree that even today the HD2 beats other phones that have currently been released. :D

  • if your SMS are not sending they are all Piling up in the outbox it�s a bug in HD2�s that have older ROMs Update your ROM to 3.14 or 1.66 If you don�t want to do the update your ROM you are going to have to take your SMS out of conversation mode and delete everything in your �outbox� and restart the phone.

  • The worrest experience i had with its touch screen, when it failed once i replaced the digitizer with my own cost. It just worked for 3 months again the same problem.Now Decided to get rid of this stupid phone. The design of locking button under hangup button seems to be the center of problem. Stupid design. Looking forward to buy Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo.

  • I am using it more than 16months now and phone was good till 13months. Touch was not working and I changed it once. Then the second one is also now not working properly. Really spent a lot now on this. Other than this everything is perfect with the flashed ROM with Android MIUI 2.3.7. Better than iPhone.

  • I can not send a message ,how can I solve this problem?

  • Over two years old and will run win mob, 6.5, WP7.5 mango, and android 2.3 and android 4.0. easily the best phone ever built. sure the camera and screen could be a little better. but it wont ever let you down and could take a nuke to the face with a smile

  • you would have to ask your sevice provider for my provider it is only 256k for EDGE

  • Been using this phone for a little over 2 years now. Still loving it. Running a build of american android. Never had a freeze up or crash. Unless i was stupid and put a nightly on there. IMO...its the best 450 dollars i have spent on a phone. You have to realize that this phone...is still thinner than others made today. The screen size of this phone is just NOW popular in high end phones today. I forsee me using this phone for another 2 years. Bottom Line Good build quality from HTC OK camera Great video playback Good alternative android choice Great screen size. Battery life for me in android is about 2 days standby and roughly 7 hours talk time (3G) If i use 2G operators it goes to about 8.5 hours. Good phone...I hope HTC releases a line of WP8 when it comes out. I was always a windows phone guy way back when it was called WinMo5. Had the HTC MDA. Android just offers more than 6.5 did. WP7 is killing it right now...post mango phones...i envy.

  • What is the gprs or edge speed of this beast ?

  • In defence of �Anonymous� he may not know that his phone never really goes into a true standby when you have �e-mail� and �my location� set-up on the phone. The screen may be off but the cellular radio is still being used to download that data at your preset download time. The only way you would get that 490h is if you were to put the phone in Airplane mode, so just pay no attention to the posted stand by time. It�s unrealistic if you bought this phone to �USE� it.

  • lol, don't you know how to read? It says stand-by: 490h, that means battery lasts 490h without using the phone at all.

  • pls learn the meaning of "standby" before commenting

  • battery - up to 490h ..? liers ... just 72 hours that's it

  • go to down AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2 this rom keeps batery life 1-2 days you have to decrese in settings cpu speed

  • Thanks for the response. If it has garmin that is a plus for me because I use garmin nav map files �USB Disk� I guess is better than nothing (which is what WP7 has to offer) but I can�t go installing software on every office PC I connect my phone to. As for the outlook sync link you gave, that just is not enough. See I use outlook for not just the contact list. I also use the calendar and task. And not every task or appointment in outlook is created by me. So I need them to be synced to my phone when they are created. Because I may not be by my desk when the set reminder time has arrived. iPhone is getting better with every version. But I still don�t think its really a �work� device for me. So I�m still looking out for that WOW device. So far it looks like it is going to be a �W8 tablet� just hope that dose not turn out to be disappointing as well.

  • I am using HD2 since 1 year and i am using android MIUI rom on it without any problem. It works like its own OS. If anyone wants to install android on HD2 get MIUI laest version and load it. I try other android also but MIUI is best for HD2.

  • my marketplace on this incredible gadget is loaded enough to suite its abilities and free applications are also scarce

  • @Anthony...Sorry for late reply. I'm on the same boat�..not into games so much. I do have some 30-40 quality apps which suit my needs. Good thing about apple's app store is that it's very huge where there is always something for everyone. Tons of choices plus quality apps�unlike win mob or android apps. Regarding your queries: 1) Using iPhone as flash drive: Diskaid- You can use iPhone as usb drive but you need to have this program in your computer. Air sharing- It helps mount iPhone as wireless hard drive. Transfer files via wifi. USB DIsk- This is the best option but you need to jailbreak. Btw, jailbreak for 4S is already out. 2) Sync with outlook - Pls read this link. My way - I'm mac user now and I use MS office a lot. So I do have mac version office including outlook. I synced my outlook to iPhone in little different way. First I synced outlook & apple's "address book". After that I synced address book to iPhone. This way all my contacts in outlook, address book & iPhone are all synced. And on the top of that iPhone 4s has 5gb "iCloud". I have synced to iCloud too for further backup. 3) Garmin apps - Apps store has tons of navigational apps including garmin but I do not know if it supports your city/country. I just use google map for simple navigation. After using win mob, bb & android, I tell you that iPhone simply works. No hanky-panky�everything is straight forward. I am not here t to compare features or talk about what it can what it can not. As any other phone, it is not perfect phone �..does have limitation. It may not be as good as top end android phones spec-wise but it does the best from what it has. Most of other OS phones look great in paper only. When comes to action, half of their features simply do not work or clunky. PS: Battery life is not bad�.definitely better than hd2.

  • I've Android On my HTC hd2. Im having a problems making memory space . My phone can not even show any filing system. I want any effective file management system ASAP. I also have battery problems,battery hardly lasts more than 2hrs and I've to carry a wall charger.

  • Thanks for tht. Cn u get me the link to reacg it pls. Thanks in advance.

  • You can get the setup file on xda developers, it is an older version, but it has worked for me

  • Skype comming on TANGO This month

  • Hi.. Anyone here using Skype App on HD2 @ WM6.5 ? As its no more supported, i would like to get the set up file for that which was working prior. Awaiting a positive note from you guys... Thanks in Advance.

  • did he have front camera and pls tell mme did it is a good mobile or samsung omnia 7

  • It�s your phone, not the guys/gals that post on gsmarena own. What ever you do to it that makes you happy is good. Are you happy with it that way?

  • Installed nand android from SD. Works like a charm. The best way is to follow the instructions from jayceooi. Just Google search HTC hd2 android jayceooi to get the instructions and the rom.

  • my phone was changed to android system 2.3.7 series, do u think it good to use it like that?

  • Are both SD cards the same class or is your 2GB SD faster?

  • The one you tried didn�t need MAGLDER for it to boot? Because the one I tried needed MAGLDER or when CLRCAD boot out of WM the phone was just powering off. MAGLDER needs HSPL3 or 2 And I�m running a 3.14ROM which is only 100% compatible HSPL4 So using MAGLDER to run a SD version of Android is not an option. Could you post the link for ICS that dose not use MAGLDER, please?

  • You must extract the files in a folder named \ICS NOT \ANDROID ! Then you must run clrcad.exe and haret.exe It works fine in a 2GB SD card. I'm tring to install with the same procedure in a 8GB SD card (both with FAT32 and cluster size 4KB) and don't works (hangs with HTC green screen).

  • You got gamin for Android? Where? What�s it called? (in WM its called Garmin Mobile XT) Is it in the android market? I have been waiting for this news for some time now. Make me smile; tell me what I need to know. As I would like to get a next phone some time this year. But was begging to think I would have to forget it because I was not getting the functionality I wanted.

  • CHT v2 CHTEditor v2 CHT widgets (I find the �State links� on the widgets page very useful for keeping track of battery temp & life also free internal storage.) CHT clocks

  • how can I find my htc hd2 stolen.

  • I know how you feel mate,everyday I cry for not having Microsoft support one of the best OS. so I went and got the Galaxy Note,and now my HD2 is gathering dust on the shelve. I recommend you get it if you can,your Garmen navigation will run pretty well on it,mine does. And thanks Anthony for the great help you have been for a long time that I have owned HD2.

  • Hey mate, I managed to install Android GingerBread but uninstalled as it consumes more battery. I'll rather stick to WinMo & Of course would love to install CHT. I had CHT 1.8 I guess (Cannot remember not). Where can I download the latest version?

  • link to installing a NAND Android ROM is below. have fun.

  • search for "easyandroid" for hd2

  • how can i convert my hd2 to android phone ???? plz tell me

  • Syrus I happy that you are happy with your iPhone 4S but you You gave me no details of how the iPhone 4S solves the problem that I have with other OS which cause me to hold on to my HD2. Smooth like silk and can�t do the things I need it to do is pointless. I don�t need a tons of apps I just need a few for productivity. And GAMES are not in my productivity list. Siri is way cool but I live on an island and Siri don�t know squat to find any business or place of interest or nav info for me to get from point �A� to �B� WP7 did no better by the way. �BING� gave me a slap in the face when it showed me we only have 3 roads and no know places of interest. It was if i said I was living on the mood. How do you sync your iPhone 4s with Microsoft Outlook on your PC? How do you use your iPhone 4s as a flash Drive.? Does iPhone have Garmin (the brand not just any nav program. It must work with Garmin maps) I�m done buying flash drive again, no mater how small in physical size I get them, some how I manage to break/crack the head off the board. WP7 has no flash drive function, does iPhone 4s have it. Speed is not everything. It also has to do what I want as well. I can get an iPhone 4s on a plan With 250min voice 250sms 4G WiMAX unlimited hotspot EDGE unlimited For $116.27US a month and the phone would cost about $100.00US But for that price every month, I want more than a cool device to make calls; I want something that will allow me to use my PC even less than I do now as I have a HD2. Hope you get my point and can actually give me answers to if it can do what I asked or not.

  • Rinzy Before you said I helped you with cookie home tap. Are you using version 2 or are you still using an old version?

  • Repost� PIM backup PIM backup does not need to be installed it runs from where ever you copy the file (so make a folder for it so your multiple backups will be in one place. When you run it you pick from �Action� if you want to Backup or �Restore� And you check the items you want to �backup� or �restore� Some items activate the �Options� key to the left. On the NEXT page You pick where you want your backups kept (it would be best to set it for a location on your SD card) Check it �as Default backup folder� Better yet just check everything in that window. Pick �schedule� and set your backup days, time & number of backups to keep. Also check �Turn off after backup� & �Delete old backup files� One you do that tap �Validate� Once it goes back to the next screen tap on �options� on the right, Then pick Schedule>load Schedule Hit next and watch the backup or restore be made. Then exit. After that backups should be made based on the schedule you made. When you want to restore run the program again. Browse for the restore file you want to restore and run it. Note: you can restore part of the file you don�t have to restore the full thing, just uncheck the things you don�t want to restore. There is more it can do but I can�t go into everything. But the pictures on the web site will give you some ideas.

  • Hey Anthony.. :) Can u pls brief abt the usage of PIM backup. I wil be mvng home soon, so have to keep backup bfre lettng someone play wit my phone :)

  • If you are a user of the digital compass and now you have upgraded to the 3.14ROM you would have noticed a lot of it functionally has been removed, which allowed you to use it with the album, Google maps and footprints. The link below gives you a version that gives you back google maps use with the digital compass.

  • Note: As you tried to install ICS on your phone that had a 3.14 ROM it is recommended that you do I factory reset. Because some of your files may have been corrupted. Hold both volume up and down when turning on the phone to get the factory rest screen. Tip:2 Install a program call PIM backup And set a schedule for it to backup your contacts, task, sms, calendar and so on. To you SD. So you can restore the info when ever you do a factory reset.

  • I checked out the thread for the one you downloaded� Under install is says is needs to be in an ICS folder. But the bigger problem is ICS ROMs look like they need MAGLDER to be installed on your phone. MAGLDER is not compatible with HSPL4, which is why I said you could not install NAND Android or WP7 And if you put on a lower version on HSPL, you will lose a portion of your ROM if you keep the 3.14 version of WM6.5 Lower versions of HSPL are made to work with ROMs up to 1.66 Your options are� 1. Look for a gingerbread SD Android ROM 2. change your windows ROM to a older version so you can use HSPL2 or 3 3. Get rid of windows all together and install a NAND Android ROM.

  • When i extracted the ICS-4.0.3, I dint get any folder named "Android" but the following files clrcad, data.ext4, haret, initrd.gz, startup, system.ext4 & zImage. I copied all these in a Android folder created in SD Card. After installing the "haret" it displays a black screen with a green HTC logo. Thats about it. Did not happen anything even after 1 hour. Where did I go wrong?

  • post below continued if you did copy it like that remember I said it could take 15-20 min the first time to set-up

  • If you extracted the files and copied everything to the SD, then you didn�t follow my instructions. I said the extract the files and find the FOLDER named ANDROID. COPY it(folder named ANDROID) and its CONTENTS to the ROOT of the SD Tip 1 As a user that dose not have unlimited internet you should install program called �DATA CONTROLER� you can use it to turn off the parts of the SIM you don�t want the phone to use.

  • use the DATA CONTROLLER app to switch of parts of your SIM you don't want your Phone to use. important tool for people that don't have unlimited Data.

  • If you copied everything to the SD, you didn�t read properly what I said... 1. Extracted the download file. 2. FIND THE FOLDER WITH THE NAME ANDROID. 3. Copy that FOLDER and its contents to the ROOT of the SD.

  • I don't have unlimited data on my phone. But I have WIFI. I extracted "ICS-4.0.3-CM9-build15.7z" and copied the contact in to my SD Card. After running the "CLRCAD", I installed "HARET" but nothing happens except a black screen with HTC label. Nothing happened after that. Any suggestions??

  • I told you before with this new ROM you can't install NAND Android or WP7. only SD Android.as for SPL3.03 run HSPL4 again but this time pick 3.03 with no HSPL in the name. then check it on the 4 band screen. do you have unlimited data.

  • Sorry for the delay Anthony. I was out of capital. How do I change back to SPL 3.03.0000? Exactly, I have tried to install NAND Rom. Let me retry it. Hope Im not disturbing you during the weekend. (-;

  • are you sure you download a SD version, A, a NAND version by mistake? did you find the folder named "Android"? by the way, were you able to change HSPL back to SPL 3.03.0000?

  • please Helpp..... I can't,go in,the sistem on my htc hd2,My security Code,doesn't RECoGNiZE my Codeeee....

  • HD2 is simply superb. Just cant take my hand out of it. By the way, I was trying to install SD ROM but couldn't find the CLRCAD & HARET after extracting. Anyways, waiting to get some tips from you.

  • yes! it can cause your phone to look and run like it has Android on it. and if that freaks you out, all you have to remember is your windows ROM version, download it, and put it back on your phone.

  • i want to know if change my windos to androd .can it cus anything to phone

  • That adds up to just over the documented ROM size of 512mb so you have lost nothing Feel free to try and see if your can change the HSPL to the SPL and maintain that size. (let me know how that goes, check it after on the 4 colored bands screen to know that it changed) I�m not a pro with android, so all I can do is get you started. Blow is a link to Android ROMs. The ones you want say �SD� as the ROM type: (don�t ask me which is best because I don�t know, I have not tried all.) 1. Pick one you want to try and go to the XDA Thread to download it to your PC. 2. use 7zip to extract the files/folders. 3. Locate the folder with the name �Android� and copy it and it�s contents to the root of your SD card. (Do not copy the folders that the �Android� folder is in) 4. From explorer on your phone open the folder 5. run CLRCAD (nothing will happen that you can see but you have to run it) 6. run HARET Android set-up will start (the first time can take as much as 15-20min) you must complete the setup or it will take just as long the next time. Note: unlike windows mobile you actually have to use the hardware keys (the back key is to go back, there is no �X� and the window key is �menu� To get back into windows just restart the phone. To get back into Android run the 2 files again. I will post some windows tips for you tomorrow.

  • Under �device�, Total storage is 176.49MB & Total program is 336.77MB. Shall I replace 3.03HSPL with the 3.03.0000? Would love to get some tips as well. Also let me know how to install SD version of android (Ice cream Sandwich if possible)

  • yes you can change the Language by doing an unauthorised swap of the ROM with a other HD2 ROM that has the language you want.

  • Want you to check that you did not lose any ROM space with the unapproved upgrade to 3.14 some people have said they have lost as much as 50mb when they try to do it with HSPL3 1. go to settings tab>SD card & phone storage� and under �device� tell me what is your total storage mb & your total program mb. After that you can try to use the HSPL4 to replace 3.03HSPL the 3.03.0000 which is the original SPL for a 3.14 ROM. After that I can give you some tips to keep your phone running smooth and some useful utilities I use, if you like.

  • hello i want to khow if i can chance de language of the me htc

  • It's late here and i had a busy day, enjoy you phone. I'll post information for you 4pm your time. I'm going to sleep.

  • Awesome! Its updated into English ROM. Thanks Mr. Anthony. What else do we have to check?

  • how can i update my htc , and when i updated can i use skype .thnx sorry for my bad english

  • i want to know about blutooth,if i install wp7 or mango can i transfer file via bluetooth????

  • Good� the 2nd line is what I wanted to make sure changed to 3.03HSPL After you get the English rom working I will want you to try something to get it to read as SPL-3.03.0000 XE But for now, it is time to install the ROM If you are still on the screen with the 4 bands you can remove the battery to get the phone out of that. 1. power on the phone normally 2. connect the phone to the PC in ActiveSync mode (option 1) 3. Run the ROM you download on your PC and follow the onscreen instructions. Note: when it says it will take about 10 min, it takes a lot less than that. Your battery must have more the 50% power to install a ROM. When you are done setting up the phone let me know. There are some things I want to check to make sure everything is ok.

  • I'm from Sri Lanka. +5.5 GMT Zone. (: I was holding the volume DOWN key when turning on the phone. Now there is a screen with 4 colored band and it says ; PB81100 HX-BC SPL-3.03.HSPL XE 0x05 CotullaHSPL 0x40 What next?

  • Superb device even in 2012 I have turned it into MIUI (Andreoid - HoneyComb) Experimenting with ICS 4.01 Love you HTC for your HTC HD2

  • I don�t know where you are but in a -4GMT time zone.

  • No do press volUp up� If you already did that�s ok, it would not have undone what we did before. That screen comes up if you hold both volume UP and DOWN at the same time when turning on the phone. What I want you to do is hold volume DOWN only when turning on the phone. Note: If you are doing that and still getting the screen you said then you must have a �LEOIMG.nbh� file on your SD and you need to remove it or keep the SD out of the phone till we are done. (Better to remove the leoimg.nbh)

  • I have installed 3.03.HSPL. (Below 3.03.0000 is there, which one is the latest? I'm going ahead with 3.03.HSPL. Okay?) After Keep holding and power on the phone it displays "The operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel". Shall I press VolUp?

  • Now you must check to see if the correct HSPL was installed on your phone, because an incorrect one will cause loss of storage space on your ROM. When you swap the ROM. 1. Power off the phone 2. Hold the volume down key. 3. Keep holding and power on the phone. 4. You should see a screen with 4 colored band and some writing. Tell me everything you see written. 5. When you are done remove the battery and put it back in (only way to get the phone to start normal again.)

  • :-) I have done every thing accordingly as you said. Connected, Extracted & installed. Got a message saying "We hacked it" & "successfully done". What do you want me to do next?

  • Sorry for the delay, I wet to bed :) If you going to do it on a XP PC you going to need ActiveSync not WMDC and if that PC is 64bit you will need the .msi version of 7zip lets get started. 1. install ActiveSync on PC 2. install 7zip on PC 3. connect phone to PC via USB and pick ActiveSync as your connect option (it should be the 1st option) 4. set-up the phone to connect with ActiveSync. 5. when connected right click the HSPL4 file and use �7zip� from the menu to unzip it. 7. run the unzipped file and follow the unscreen instructions. 8. if you see a drop down to choose which SPL to install, pick the highest version with HSPL in the name. when you have done that and you have restarted your phone let me know. (phone should still be in french)

  • if you are going to use XP you will need ActiveSync not WMDC is the work PC 32 or 64bit? (if 64bit you will have to get the .msi version of 7Zip

  • I just logged in through facebook account, thus posts can be displayed quickly. I have downloaded everything you have asked me to download. I don't want to take any backup. Will start it from the scratch. Also let me know how to do this in Windows XP (Im using XP @ my office PC)

  • Ok there is a delay from when you wright your post to when gsm put them up. I only saw your reply a long time after i said i was waiting on it. (my post go up right away) Download WMDC for 32-bit download 7-Zip the .exe version. The .msi version is for the 64 bit PC By the way. Do you need to backup your task, contacts, and calendars or are you ok start from scratch? Do you have outlook on your PC?

  • Download WMDC for 32-bit download 7-Zip the .exe version. The .msi version is for the 64 bit PC By the way. Do you need to backup your task, contacts, and calendars or are you ok start from scratch? Do you have outlook on your PC?

  • Yes, as you told me I have downloaded the HSPL4, New WWE Rom & WMDC to my laptop. Which version of 7zip do I have to install? (My phone is Orange provided phone & I'm using windows 7 ultimate (32 Bit) in my laptop)

  • Yes, I have downloaded HSPL4, WWE ROM & WMDC to my Laptop. What version of 7zip do you want me to download? As I mentioned you earlier its a orange provider phone & I'm using windows 7 ultimate, 32 Bit.

  • Rinzy, I�m waiting on an update from you. By the way, the files I mentioned in post with time stamp 2010-01-09 16:09 Must be downloaded to your PC, not your phone.

  • You are correct mate. It is an orange provider phone. I have downloaded HSPL4 & the new ROM. I'm using windows 7 ultimate, 32 Bit.

  • the phone can be upgraded to windows 7 but it requires cooking a new rom to make the phone think that it is a HTC HD7, on top of this you will need to aquire a HD7 windows activation key and overall is not woth the effort in my humble opinion. The HD2 runs windows mobile 6.3.5 very effectivly and if you read reviews, windows 7 has been locked down and made alot more like an iphone, meaning that there is alot less that can actually be done with the phone.

  • Never mind the post with time stamp 2012-01-09 03:45 below. You can get the 3.14.405.2 update (which is the most up-to-date English ROM for the HD2) using HSPL4 Just note that you can�t install a NAND Android or WP7 with HSPL4 on your phone. You maybe able to install an SD version of Android Link to HSPL4 Download the HSPL4.zip file Link to the 3.14.xxx.x ROMs Download the World Wide English (WWE) 3.14.405.2 ROM You didn�t say what OS your PC has and if it is 32 or 64 bit so I don�t know if to tell you to get WMDC or ActiveSync. and what version of 7zip to get. Let me know when you are ready to move one

  • I have some not so good news X.XX.73.1 seems to be a provider ROM (like a ROM from Orange) And 1.43.xx.x is the first ROM ever made for this phone, so it has all the bugs in it. I want to update your ROM to a newer version before I swapped the OS to an English version, But i can’t find an updated x.xx.73.1 ROM I am seeing newer French ROMs but they are x.xx.406.2 Do you want to try and installing the 3.14.412.2 ROM to get the bug patches then convert the OS to an English one? OR Will you be happy with swapping to a 1.43.405.1 ROMs which is English but just as buggy as the ROM you have now. I wanted to get you up to 3.14.405.2 but i can’t find a 3.14.73.1 ROM to get the matching Radio Drivers.

  • Hey, my ROM Version is 1.43.73.1 (70315) FRE.

  • can we upgrade this phone on windows 7 pls tell me

  • first I need to know what is your ROMs version #. the full #, so I can tell you which English version ROM to download with matching radio drivers. you also need to download... SSPL for the HD2 7Zip WMDC or activeSync depending on your PC OS and bit type any question feel free to ask. having problems finding your ROM version, let me know.

  • Thats so nice of you Anthony. Sure, I can follow your instructions. You have already helped me with regard to Cookie Home Tab in January 2011. I really appreciate you support for HD2 user.

  • No! Changing the language is not a settings change. Each copy of Windows Mobile only comes with 1 language For your ROM that language is French. The good news is I know how you can make an unauthorised swap of your ROM to an English version and will be happy to help you if you are willing to follow instructions and you have the time. Reply to this if you are

  • Hi Anthony, I got a HD2 as a gift which is in French language. I tried to change the language in settings but couldn't. I even tried to update d software but its again in French. Can I install CHT and change into English language?

  • HTC may have dropped the support for this phone, but there is an immense community support - go have look on xda-forums.

  • the most up-to-date ROM for this phone is 3.14.xxx.x and it is very stable. if you have that and leave the 10% minimum free space on internal storage that any windows device (PC included) need for the expantion of swap files your phone will not freeze. note: you can still get the original HTC HD2 ROMs version 1.66.xxx.x & 3.14.xxx.x on the XDA website.

  • it says: secondary camera --- no so nope

  • HTC hd2 always hang. Very sad to own this phone. HTC also not profesional. HTC has stopped the support of this phone. No more patches or update for this model.

  • HTC hd2 always hang.

  • does it have front camera please tell me....

  • I have been using the phone for the last 6 months, It was really awesome phone to use. Speed is good,touch is gr8 no doubt. Installed android and had great fun with the mobile. Camera is good, and the flash light is brilliant. First its difficult to control the phone due to its massive size. but after two weeks its a good baby :) maybe the best phone i am used.

  • Yep better than iPhone but charging is matter of concern...and sometimes there will network prob in windows mobile

  • restart ur phone

  • yes you can download your original ROM if you can remember your full ROM # do you remember the 7 digits of your original ROM version? post that and i can find you a link to download it.

  • can this phone perform like iphone?

  • Hi there is there any one that can help me. I installed android on my htc hd2 but i am not happy with android is there any link for me to download Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional?

  • Hi Anthony......I gave my blackberry to my wife and bought iphone4s for myself.....couldn't be happier. I used to have iphone3g...skipped 3gs & 4.....wat a difference. It's like ...east or west iPhone is the best. I've used all kind of platforms including win mobile (yet to use win7), android & bb.....to be honest they are not even close to iPhone even though their hardware specs are higher than iPhone. Its smooth as silk. Android is so-so....no matter they have 1.5 ghz processor, 1gb ram......still buggy, laggy & horrible battery life. Not to mention droid fragmentation. I highly recommend you 4s......unless u r simply iPhone hater. Your contact issue, garmin etc will be taken care with 4s. Tons of apps....you get everything you need.

  • I kind of agree with you. OS is very important. I just want a stable OS that dont hang at all and still it is versatile in terms of having all sort of free apps. Let me know if you see one. some says, iphone has an advantage on this expect..what do you think...one thing I couldn't stand with iphone is the built it battery (cannot swap with fresh battery) and the only 3.5" screen that straining my eyes..

  • are u installing it as sd nand? still can use as thethering and hotspot with 2.3.7?

  • i have it , it so good performance ,i was install android 2.3.7 on hd2 , i ain't have problem from this cell phone

  • Go to xda developers forum, there you'll find everything you need...

  • how do i convert/change the original windows to android?

  • for the one waiting for update windows 7.5 mango is an awsome OS its second only to iphone and thats because of popularity and not quality .if you can run the mango i know this may be an old comment and you may have this already samsung focus is the best fon out and run superb on mango 0 problems

  • HTC HD2 is a great phone. I have been using it since a year and now i have installed Android Nand ROM, which made this phone unmatched in its price range. I can even play the latest HD games, and HD videos.

  • what are you saying? I'm using mine with an original 3.14 ROM and the only time my phone is off is when i don't charge and the battery dies. and i have no freezing problem. leave at least the 10% free pace on the internal storage the the system is going to use as a swap file during CPU calulation and you will see a big difference in performance.

  • yes!!! u need to close it for a few minutes every 3 days!

  • Android is cool for a tablet but I�m not quite sold on it yet for a phone. Data that can be put into contacts are limited, in comparison to �windows mobile� which has �see more information� Sync with outlook is not the best. Sorting contacts by Company �can�t find a way to do it.� There is no software to read gamin turn by turn nav maps and gamin is the only company that makes nav maps for my country. WP7 is a nice toy as a alternative to iPhone. So I�m stuck with this phone or getting a blackberry. Which looks like they are going under. Looking out for WP8 maybe it will give me more of what I use than what WM6.5 gives me now. My HD2 is running smooth and is not physically falling apart �knock on wood� so ill just look at all the new cool hardware put I�m not buying till I�m truly impressed with OS improvements. Half the things I See added to new OS now are for people that live in the USA. Well I don�t live in the U.S. so how does paying for that really improves my user experience� Saying I have it but cant use it is pointless. Windows 8 tables are coming out and that most likely is going to be the next buy. Phones are just not impressing me right now.

  • Not being able to send SMS in a problem that affected some people with the older ROMs. It was fixed in ROMs version 1.66 and newer. You have 2 options. You can update your ROM (I can help you with this if you tell me your full ROM version number) Or you can do the work around�. What happens is a SMS is stuck in the �outbox� and is blocking all other SMS from being sent. Go to the �Messages� tab and tap on (All Messages>Menu>Settings>Traditional Mode) then go to the Outbox and delete any message you see in there then restart your phone. You should be able to send SMS again after that. NOTE: you must update your ROM for a permanent fix.

  • the best smart phone ever , i am running android 2.3.7 perfectly on the nand , battery lasts more than the stock WM 6.5 used to do ... ICS has one more step to be launched as stable rom on this mobile , there is still the camera issue , but today ICS was released officially to the htc sensation which means the camera driver will be ported to the HD2 soon ........ HD2 rocks !!!

  • Hi, I've tried ICS on my HD2 before... when the 'limited' rom was released on XDA devlopers, but the camera and other bits didn't work. It ran ok most of the time but with the ICS live wallpaer it did lag a bit, helped to download GoLauncher though it was still laggy. Gone back to Gingerbread 2.3.4 and it's very smooth, especially using GoLauncher :) Hope this helps.

  • my htc hd2 always frezz & sometime restart .. can anyone help me??..

  • any one install the ICS 4.0 on this phone before... like to hear from you guys....will it work on HD2 faster or slower, more stable or less stable?? thank in advance in replying

  • I can't send a message or text with my htc hd2.pls tell me what is the problem?

  • Hello dear Anthony, I have been using the HD2 for over two years now,and you have been a great help all along, however recently I bought a samsung galaxy Note, I suggest that you consider it as your next device, its one of the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Jack

  • I need to see photo in computer and phone number to sent e-mail

  • you can install a SD card version of Android and still have windows on your NAND, making the phone dual boot

  • How can you have two operating systems?

  • This Mobile is The only Mobile in the world That can be Flashed with Most OS, i.e. Windows 6.5, Windows 7, Android, May Be More, Can also Have two Operaing Systems

  • i can not see what i an typing with my HD2 . it is windows mobile 6.5.what can i do?

  • try dis....Dial *#0000# n kal.if u r lucky,it will work out for u cos it works out on some other phones.

  • each Windows Mobile ROM only come with 1 language. HTC puts arabic support on some of the ROMs as an add on. if your phone was never english, the only way to get it to be english is to replace your ROMs with an english version.

  • i have my phone for more than 2 years now and i can safely tell you the glass is tough. can't say the same for the display below the glass. jumped off the bed, stepped right on the phone. not a thing happened to the glass but the display got a pressure point crack. luck for me HTC replaced it for free. as for scratches, lol the battery cover coating is going to get F'ed up long before the glass could get It's first micro scratch. invest in a silicon case. they are thin but protect against shock damage to the display and dents to the body of the phone. the glass is the least of your worries.

  • as i said before I'm not a big user of Android. It's useful for watching streaming so i use it for that, then i go back to windows. so i a really can't say which version of android is best. i know i found AmicanDrod to run fast from the SD. but it does not have the sence UI. your guess of which one is best is as good as mine.

  • It's not gorilla glass. It's just glass, Lol. It scratches quite easily, as well.

  • Please help me how to change language in my phone HTC HD2 or to reset on factory default.Iwant to put language in English

  • anyone knows what kind of glass hd2 uses for its screen. is is gorilla glass???

  • hi anthony, thanks so much for answering. but there are too many roms in the link u suggested. which one you find it best? I try to go for Android 4.0 ICS, does it support tethering & hotspot funciton?? the current version I am using has a focusing problem for the camera function. picture is no longer as sharp as compare to WM6.5, especially taking pictures of document with fine prints. appreciate if anyhelp. thanks.

  • this phone have a ploblem with touch screen not respond

  • I think the phonw is fairly ok but i recently have a major issue i never had before and really dont want to download what wont work - i use to be able to check my bank bal. now i am getting a java error msg and there seems to be no update re the java issue - can anybody tell me what browser to get for the HD2? the gps is not accurate either but maybe when i start using it with a phone co. that may be corr. I tried getting an E dictionary as well but cant get any but Sun Mobile which seems to be for a 5 year old - its best they build on this app - i think Wordweb is the best but they dont have any for HD2.

  • I�m not a heavy user of Android i run a SD version of it and only use it for streaming flash. so there is not much I can help you with sovling bugs other than to tell you try a newer ROM or even a ROM from a different programmer. Below will find a link to ROMs both NAND and SD versions. You didn't say what kind of Android you are running so I will assume it is NAND The last link is a tutorial for �newbes� read all of it. And if you get stuck maybe I can help.

  • what is the name and model of the device you are using?

  • I have been using HD2 for nearly 2 years and replaced with android recently. love it so much and really feel it like a king in smartphone OS. but it hangs a lot even to 2-3 times a day on certain instance. everytime need hard reset and take a lot of time to redo setup.. very frustrated. any advice how to remedy the problem. I am using android 2.3.5, internal memory is 106MB out of 214MB. having a SD card of 16G with 1G/15G partition. only about 4G available on the micro SD. i load all my working files in SD card. Not sure if I use it too heavily that cause such problem??? appreciate if anyone can help......

  • Anthony, really need help? i've install android on hd2 for quite sometime. but all this while it hangs a lot, sometimes it happens 3 times a day. everytime it hangs I need to perform hard reset which means all data wipe out. it takes time to redo setup....&%*#%$? fyi,the android version is 2.3.5, available internal memory is 106MB out of 214MB, SD card is partioned to 1G/15G(it's a 16G micro SD). Radio version = 15.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14 Build number = MIUI-NDT Development V24.2SE (by langthang) Some advise me to update the rom. but doesn't know how to do it..(i got mine replaced by android through someone else) another problem is after using android, the camera resolution no longer as sharp as before when still using WM6.5 Anyway you can help me to improve the situation? Million thanks in advance

  • dear anthony, I have been using HD2 for slightly less then 2 years. Until recently, I upgraded to MIUI android which gives me a lot trouble. the phone need to be hardreset for many instances. sometime it can happen a few times in a day. of course, with the hard reset means I have to setup everything and can take up to 10 to 15 minutes. very frustrated with this situation. but seeing new phones in the market, even samsung galaxy note doesn't have such a solid body as the HD2. I decided to keep this phone as a spare until its really outdated. but need to solve the hanging problems. the android version that I'm using is 2.3.5. so far still have 103MB available in my internal memory. I am using a 16G SD card with 1G/15G partition. I still have 4.26G available in my SD card. I have all my working documents on it for the ease of viewing and simple editing. Am I loading the device too much and give me the hang problem. some advise me to upgrade the rom. but where to read rom version??

  • Android DOES suppott resistive screen. I'm typing this from my resistive screen tablet running Gingerbread.

  • Vry vry 9c i like this cel

  • Hye i m asad just instal fb

  • miui android rocks!!!!!!

  • update your ROM to 3.14 or 1.66 and leave 10% of your internal storage free for swap file expansion. doing this solves about 99% of the HD2 instability problems.

  • HD2 get hang very offten, need to reset frequently^ the reste buttin is inside not easily accessible, at times the unit gets hanged drain battery to min extent,the unit is very slow i sms,typing, in mutli tasking mode.

  • Before you can install Android SD version you will need to update your radio version to or the ROM will not work. Normally it is as easy as updating your phone to the new 3.14.xxx.x rom But there is no 3.14.415.4 ROM What you have is the most up to date there is for x.xx.415.4 ROMs So you going to have to download the radio only from a 3.14.405.2 ROM and install it to replace your Radio. Link below Then download an Android ROM of your choice from the link below (ROM type: SD) Extract the Android folder to the root of your SD, then run CLRCAD (which will look like it did nothing) then run HARET. First boot of Android can take up to 20min You must complete the setup of Android in order to cut down the boot time. to get back to windows just restart the phone. To lunch android again just run the 2 file in the some order again. NOTE: this most likely will not work till you update your RADIO version To 2.15.50.14 so you must do the update first.

  • Hi again Guys... at the moment of writing these .. now HD2 is overclocked to 1500 MHz with stable status .. with activated Swap + ZRAM to boast the phone a lot more Of course to do better multitasking and CPU performance, and with the newly ported Kernel version 2.6.35.14 you can check the change log to get amazed how huge is the change and Video And 3D performance . Sony Bravia Engine Now completely is Ported to HD2.. Here and now I merged The latest NDT MIUI BUILD 38.1 WITH Bravia engine + Latest kernel + OC 1500 MHz + ZRAM + SWAP + RTL FIX Finaly The best News is that ICS Android 4.1 Now Fully Ported To HD2 .. Conclusion : i THINK We must choose a new name for this revolutionary Device HD3 ! :)

  • music is better?

  • good and atractive phon but battery timing is very low...

  • �I THINK� the HD2 compatibility with multiple OS�s has to do with its Unique combination of hardware and there drivers. When you really think about it�. 1. It was built of an OS (wm 6.5) that dose not support capacitive screens but thanks to its drivers it works anyway. No other capacitive screen phone has drivers that will let it run and OS that only supports resistive screens, so right there you know the long list of phones that will never run the WM6.5 OS 2. WM is based on/diluted version of windows desktop, Android is a version of Linux both OS use the same partition format and just how Linux is written it is capable of running on a windows system. But window can�t run in Linux. So right there phones that came with Android by default not going to run WP7. (WP7 phones use an different partition system. So you know Linux not going to run on the ROM of a phone that came with WP7) 3. no WM phone other than the HD2 has a capacitive screen. That means no other WM phone can run Android or WP because those OS don�t support resistive screen. The HD2 is the only phone that meets all the minimum requirements for multiple OS�s

  • Hi kNkH, Would really appreciate it if you would supply me with step by step instructions of how to get Android on my HD2. I am not a geek, but would appreciate your help. Been to all sorts of blogs, but get confused with all the advice. Thanks Robert

  • What makes HD2 diffr frm any other smart phonez in market now which allows us to install this many OSz on it? I have Win 6.5 and American Android in mine, but when a friend of mine asked wats makes it compatible to all OS I i did't have an answer.

  • I would say yes if you run Android from SD Card like I am doing.

  • Check Ebay. You can find tons of them there, very cheap (2 pounds/ 3� / 4$).

  • WP7 guide for newbe ­

  • the OS is not converted. what is done is... you replace your ROM software with a "NAND Android" version. which effectively wipes your old OS off your "Read.Only.Memory." chip. link to a "newbe" guide

  • you can un-officially upgrade to WP7, which means you will have to side load apps & nothing using "live I.D." will work

  • yes you can send group sms but there is a 10pm person limit in the default mode. using "bsb tweaks" you can increase the limit to 50 persons.

  • can OS windows 6.5 convert to android?
