Lag or not while watching YT depends on your BB speed. I am using 5Mbps at home and the video keeps loading much faster than it plays. With 3G, at about 384Kbps, acceptable. only a few ms lag.
2)are apps in android market free..??..

Hunderds of apps are free, a few may cost $0.99

Not true. Just a liiiitle bit slower. I have tested it against Opera and Dolphin. It depends on your taste and liking.

So is everybody.. Good deal, for me.
Thanks a lot azahidi for answering...i really needed all that info...i will be buying this as soon as it will be available..right now its OUT OF STOCK...something to do with HTC changing its national Distributer....thanks again..
The browser is the same speed as my 2g ipod touch (over wifi) no noticeable lag on youtube (my connection is about 8mb)
i dont think that the wildfire supports north american 3g but the aria does, however you cant sideload apps (very useful) on the aria

Hello guys , i hope a post this right
I am going to buy a new phone soon and I am looking on this HTC HD and i have read a lots of reviews and watched many videos , and I am now wondering should i buy this or the HTC Touch Pro or antother HTC?
I have read many posts at this forum and I have som problem to choose
Sorry for the bad english
I think nobody is able to answer this question for you at all. Its a good device, but HTC Touch Pro is also not as bad .
It all depends on what you need. If you are sending out a lot of emails and text messages, the Touch Pro might be a better choice because of the hardware keyboard. I say might because the large screen of the Touch HD makes using a SIP very effective as well.
But if you are looking for a multimedia phone, the Touch HD is the way to go.
So why don't you start by letting us know what you need it for?
Well ,
I send alots of sms but I think you will get use to the on-screen keyboard, just you get use to everything else.
Surf on the web is also a thing I do much... but the thing i do most is listen to music , and take some photos but not that much.
Whatch som movies never hits wrong.
This post was messy xD hope you understand
well it looks like the Touch HD will suit you just fine
But i wonder one thing, is it many problems with it? many says is god and many says its bad , but what i have seen the most can i find here , many solutions and fixeses
Overall, it's the best device around! And XDA has many tweeks, fixes, & even cooked roms!!
Thx guys , all thats is left now it to get the money xD
Yea man, after having the VOGUE, DIAMOND, and TOUCH PRO (which im still trying to sell) the HD is the phone i would and will go with. Thing is, i am on sprint, so once i get the phone imported, i will have to jump ship, but after having some hands-on time with the phone, trust me, it will be worth it. It's a shame that this phone isn't coming to the U.S. but, as far as rumors go......the G2 maybe an equivalent of the HD????

yeh, that's the best rumor I've heard in awhile...it would be awesome!!
Now that its been few weeks that i got my HD , im getting bored with it.
Although I used to have XDA and HTC devices in the past, Its really getting boring with HD.
Any cool ideas about making this device extraordinary ? I need new ideas !! thanks

sell it... to me... $100
or flash the latest ROMs and try fix all the bugs
that should be entertaining and a great service to the community
Give it to me and get a new phone?
Bit of a strange question. How extraordinary can phones be?
Maybe paint it pink, it would look extraordinary then! Do you like playing games? Get some new games for it.
It is not a gaming device u know, No D-pad or keys... So far im still using the stock ROM, no bugs for me.

I hope it is not a Slingbox/slingplayer case. I would be very happy if there is an all-software solution which utilizes a TV card located on a desktop computer

You can use Orb (www.orb.com)
Get microsoft voice commander, and start having conversations with your phone... (to be fair the conversations are limited to asking it about signal strength, battery levels, date, time and upcoming appointments... but it's fun to see the reaction on peoples faces when you talk to your phone and your phone speaks back to you.
also being able to launch applications and mp3s by speaking is just cool.

That seems quite interesting
Flash your phone with the latest Radio and Dutty's 2.3.
You will be amazed by the speed and added functionality.
Plus, you don't need to get a Touch Pro 2. Dutty's 2.3 utilizes almost the same manila.

hey everyone, nice to meet you all, been lurkin' these forums since i got my t-mobile dash on its release day.
but anyways i've got a few questions and comments
what is the most popular and most highly supported custom rom? would it be Kumars? - what roms are the fastest?
-i have bsb tweaks and c00kie on my phone. my phone will 'wake' on a new text and if i try to unlock it before i get the notification (but after it waking) it'll freeze up. its pretty exasperating
-is it my fault? i'm almost always constantly on my phone and it seems that every phone i ever own tends to lag or lock up from time to time, i wonder if im.. 'doing too much' with it.. but i wouldn't expect such a powerful phone as this..

I think energyrom might be the most popular. I would suggest searching youtube for HD2 ROM review, or something like that. You'll see a couple reviews showing each and you'll be able to decide for yourself.

No, it's not your fault, it happens to the best of us. BTW, the lighter ROMs like energy seem to do less of that than the stock. I think it's kind of like buying a PC with a bunch of bloatware, a lean OS always runs faster and more stable.
On the same vain, I have a Droid, a 3gs and the HD2, and I must say the HD2 lags and freezes the most, followed by the Droid and the the Iphone is the most stable, even after jail-breaking and modifying it extensively. I attribute this to the tight integration of the OS and hardware, unlike Android and WiMo which have different OS and Hardware manufacturers, and thus leads to bloat and incompatibilities.

Wait, what? I just noticed this, lol. I hope you meant T-Mobile HD2, otherwise you're in the wrong forum and I waisted my time replying.
NRG's roms are really good too. Come pre-loaded with a lot of apps. Great on the eyes (eye candy ) and very fast. Are you running the stock rom right now (that you are experiencing the lockups with) ?

haha what i meant was that i have been visiting these forums since those days (dash days).. but yes i do currently have a t-mobile HD2
thank you guys, i think i will flash my phone tonight and check out the NRG/'energy' roms, sorry to be noobish.. but could one of you direct me to the thread that shows the latest build(s) of nrg or a website.
you guys are really nice people, i appreciate your help
scratch that, i found the thread for NRG roms
Anyone know how to make opera load mobile versions of sites like youtube? Every time I check the setting to load mobile sites, it loads a funky version of the site. It will not actually load the mobile site as I can see it's not in the URL. I can type in the URL "www.m.youtube.com" but it never does it by default. Is there a setting to set in the opera config to fix this? My main reason for fixing is I would love to have youtube links sent to me in email open the youtube app but it requres the mobile version of youtube to load in opera.
I have had my HD2 for almost a week now. And I can write without reservation, that this is without doubt, the best phone I've ever owned! I'm still getting to grips with it, but enjoying every new discovery! Xda have really opened my eyes to exactly what this amazing bit of kit can do.

Most people do not experience your problems.
CHT is partially known for its "bugs"
Also a good "Fall cleanup" (as opposed to spring-cleanup ) could help you.
You could also try a factory reset if the problem persists (backup your data before resetting )
Also could be HTC-Peep is the root of your problems....
But do not start complaining in a topic while you have issues which need to be handled in another topic.
The phone was fine before? Lets try to restore it to thet state.... keep positive.
ok - my interest in the HD2 is very high!! This phone looks absolutely terrific
and has amazing specs.
i am looking for some basic knowledge here on the recently releases HD2 Phones.
i have ATT as my carrier and I'm not looking to change to T-Mobile. I am happy with ATT. i am looking at purchasing the HTC H2 9193 unlocked with support for the ATT 850MHz 3G band. my understanding is that this is a "clean" version of the HD2 Austrailian Telstra phone without all of the bloatware thrown into it. HTC (on their own website) is calling this their HTC HD2 US phone (see htcphones website, product model HTC_TOUCH_HD_2_NAM). HTC sells this phone for around $830.
It appears that the above phone is also the identical model that Amazon (and others) are selling as the HTC Hd2 T9193 (many sell it for around $800 and $730 is the lowest I've seen it) - but I have not seen HTC describe the "model" as the T9193.
These are NOT the T-Mobile HD2 US phones either - as the the T-Mobile version doesn't appear to have support for the 850 MHz ATT G3 band.
Can someone (an expert) please confirm what I've stated here. The HD2 T9193 looks to be the same as the HTC HD2 US - and it's more expensive than the T-Mobile version. This looks like the phone that I want however - seems like it has everything!!
thanks in advance - John

I've so far installed CHT & editor, TCPMP, Wifi remote access, BSB tweeks, NETCFv35, AgileNotes & HTC flashlight. And so far, not a single crash.

Don't mind xirokx, enjoy your HD2. This phone has immensely grown on me since I first purchased it back in January, once you get this bad boy customized to your likings you will enjoy it even more.
Happy flashing

Aaaahh to be young and in love...
Just got a new HD2 for 180$ brand new with just the computer connection and a rubber protector.....everything else including the only other thing I wanted the SD card wasnt included.
Was this a good deal?
I am also looking into straight custom roming this phone....have a TP2 custom romed and with geny with android.
3 questions.
1.I am not use to the snap dragon yet.....I overclocked the tp2 yet the snap dragon makes it seem like molasses...will a custom rom make the HD2 slower or will it actually increase?
2. Which is the most stable ROm out now?
3.Are there any overclockers?
That was a really good price for a HD2.
I am not aure bit I think some of the custom ROMs slightly overclock, but over all the custom ROMs run a lot better and faster on the HD2.
All the custom ROMs are pretty much very stable in my opinion.
I do not knpw of a actual overclock app for Wimdows Mobile maybe someone else can help you out there.
Thanks for the info!
I already HSPL'd and put the dinik rom onto my phone but when all the craze was getting a overclock on the tp2 I heard someone say that the HD2 already had a overclocker..
I'll keep looking around.
Thanks.

Frankly, I never try it
I dont need to overclock, most custom roms are already blazing fast
T-mac
Yeah I can understand what you mean but there seems to be a difference between the Leo and the TMo HD2 which never made sense to me.
I'll look through the thread and see if it does work.
silver-
Yeah the HD2 is one of the fastest phones I've had due to the snapdragon ...it makes my TP2 even overclocked feel super slow haha.
I just want to check out the overclocker to see how faster it would actually become, faster is usually a good thing. haha.
IF you guys have any other tips for the HD2 please feel free to post....I just custom romed it and thats about it....well and putting slacker on there.
it's really cheap buy it!!!i bought my used hd2 for 1100 TL (about 700$)

I knew I got a good deal but I didnt know it was that bad to buy.
I called T-mo here and they said no contract it would be around 500.

It only costs about 200 used... new maybe 350 at MOST.
I see well I still got a good deal it seems.

yeah you pay 18% + 10% tax for phone purchase

About overclocking...
Taking into account how much a mainboard for HD2 costs and how many of them were destroyed by overheating, I want to warn you, beware of overclocking, Snapdragon is fast enough without any overclocking
pvii-
Yeah I see that some people have been having problems with overheating the more topics I have been reading so I might not even overclock till later down the line.
sara-
Jeez 10% in just tax! Online shopping is becoming alot better.
