Desire Z Chat!

Woot! Desire Z FTW

I want one. I want one now. I hate contracts, I am gonna have to wait another year and a half before I can get a new phone. That or I save up some...

meh, hate sliders because unless you take super care of them they get wobbly and on my nerves ...

wow, this is so damn amazing! got to get one. Hope, o2 in Germany will offer it on a good price

Oh hey svetius!
You thinking 'bout buying it?
Anyhow. I'm buying it.
I just hope some of the awesome stuff like HTC Fast Boot can be ported back to the "old" Desire.

This will be my next phone, I am sure of it. I will not buy it instantly, but by Christmas I have to own it. I have to.

Ooh, ooh ! I love my TP2's hardware keyboard, but the Desire Z looks like just what I'm waiting for !

Hmm. Did anyone else think it looked like it lagged in the video compared to the Desire HD?
I love the idea of the keyboard for emulators and taking full advantage of the screen size, but I've had my iPhone for 31months so I can deal with not having keyboard.
Unfortunately, it's a 3G and I'm unbelievably sick of lag.
Otherwise, I LOVE THIS PHONE.

The Desire Z looks awesome ! It's going to be my next phone. The only thing that sucks is that it doesn't have a dedicated number row other than that it's great
They should have made the keyboard like the Touch Pro 2

14 months until I get one...
screw it, I'm gonna get one anyway, screw my G2 touch. Now the only issue is £40 a month...
hmmm, puzzling.

A little speedtest on Youtube:
Battle of the Speed Demons: T-Mobile G2 versus Epic 4G
It shows the difference between 1000mhz and 800 mhz.
I can't post the direct link. I'm a newbie.
Edit: Here you go ~TheRomMistress

I'm going to have it as soon as it comes available in Italy, already love it!

I just ordered on online. Should be here tomorrow!

a G2 or a Desire Z?

The only reason I'm picking this phone over the HTC HD2 is because of the keyboard. I have to say, T-mobile has some really ugly phones but this is one of the best ones. I also love it's UI, it sp gosh dang fast!! w00t!!!

A G2. Sorry, I didn't notice that there were separate forums for the different Desire Z models.

i have had my desire z since about 12 o clock.
i must say abosloutely love it. it totally rock.s
smooth, easy, smart.
mlove the keyboard love the fact it does what it says it is gonna.
have taken a few pics today they look wicked,
love it love it.

[DISCUSSION] Desire Z development..who will be in??

I think i'm not the only one that hates senseUI so my following questions are:
1. what developers would put the effort to max this phone to it's best?
2. Will we have cyanogen?
3. will we have screen calibration?(i really god used with true color rather than "blue pushed" colors).
Please if any developer would love to put a bit of comfort to our hearts please post here that you would do the best for this phone
So looking forward for it!
Edit: posible to swich roms from G2 to z and other way? that would be nice,theoretically it's very posible same hardware!

looks like the G2 will have stock froyo(not sure) but i really hope we can cyanogen mod on this thing! still don't think desire z is going to replace n1 on the priority list.

You are quite right,but alao g2 might take the place of n1,and g2=desire z,it'q all a matter of rooting i think.
Damn i will really miss the led flash from n1) really really usefull for me.

LED flash? G2 also has a flash with its camera, if thats what you mean..
Also, to your 3rd point, if you're talking about the blue tinge issues and such, these screens won't have those issues as they're not AMOLED's, but SLCD's.

Aaaa sry i mean trackball led flash.

but no led track ball though still wonder if it'll steal the crown from the n1. afterall desire z isn't a "google experience" phone.

dang. i was hoping for super amoled display. well atleast with slcd we won't be getting anymore burnin. hopefully.

Unfortunately for now, Only Samsung has the rights to use S-AMOLED. Its their tech anyways. But I believe from next year fall onwards they will start selling S-AMOLED screens to other manufacturer's.

For me S-amoled is not that interesting anymore,really curios about this S-lcd and it's multitouch capabiliti really hope is better than n1 or desire.

Cyanogen tweeted earlier this month saying that he's getting a G2, so I think it's safe to say that the G2/Desire Z will have lots of developer/hacker support. Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm so excited about the G2. I'll likely be keeping it for the full 2 year contract, so having a phone that's so supported by XDA is a huge advantage.

Totally agreed, I stuck with the G1 till now which definetly would not have been possible without everyone at XDA. You think that maybe Cyanogen might make a Non-Sense version and a Sense version of the ROM?

dam, i was hoping for a miracle, oh well... thx

I've been done something useful on Motorola Milestone and I've ever been in HTC WiMo devices modding etc.
Selling Milestone, HTC Desire Z already ordered and waiting for its arrival. I'm in.
First of all, we have to see if it's unlocked, then we can play with the system: putting Sense on CyanogenMod maybe is possible, we'll see. I'll do better than I can.
-kholk.

I'm a little curious which one would work on at&t 3g. I prefer no sense and think cyanogen will support that before sense.

From what I know, Cyanogen doesn't make Sense ROMs, they're only modded AOSPs..

[Q] Is this phone worth upgrading from the HD7?

I have a HD7 and im getting alittle bored of it, and the screen size is alittle too big. There is someone locally who wants my phone and $75. Im not sure if its worth it or not. i know it is hardware wise, but i heard the atrix lags alot compared to others xD Thanks.

the atrix is the fastest phone you will use ONCE you install another launcher. This would definitely be an upgrade.
The people complaining, are generally irked by the bootloader being locked (which will hopefully be fixed soon) and therefore are harder on the phone.

Yeah, thats what i heard. i actually kinda like motoblur (just cause looks) Id install sense on it asap though lol. i havent used android in a long time, since mytouch 4g was released and i just got annoyed of its problems. the new sense looks amazing though. my phone never lags "ever" because of how light wp7 is. just want something new thanks btw!

I returned the Atrix yesterday. I really liked it, very fast and an amazing battery, but I had issues with it. My main issue was voice quality. Every single person I spoke to had trouble hearing me. I also didn't like the camera, pictures didn't look good in my opinion. Also, had issues with gps not responding properly from time to time, but I think that was just an issue with my unit not all Atrix phones. Now I'm waiting a week or 2 to see if I get the Infuse 4G, that phone sounds sick!!

just because no one else caught it, you can't install sense on this phone. Sense is HTC's version of motoBlur. Since this is a motorola phone, no sense. you can make it look like sense by installing launcherPro and skinning it, but that's about it.

Im pretty sure someone could port it.. people have ported droid X rom to the Mytouch 4G lol. so why not other way around? eVil D probably could. I know they have their own skins, thats the point of porting though..

The infuse is a downgrade from the galaxy S 2. single core vs dual, and bigger screen which i dont want. why did you return your atrix?

If you got bored with your hd7 then you'll get bored of the Atrix really fast. Poor developement due to locked botloader makes for a very boring device. We're also totaly at motos mercy for fixing broken features wbich they' ve do.e a terrible job of so far. I' d trade my Atrix for an hd2 in a second.

yeah but think about how much other moto devices lagged with motoblur 2.1/2.2. the droid x did horrible, and it has the new moto blur now and it runs amazing, im sure this will run amazing as well with update.

Lets go over this once. Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz, they are not just skins. They are woven into the android build by the respective manufacturers. To port to this phone you would need the ability to flash custom roms, which you can't do on the atrix. Yes there are a few like gingerblur, but those really aren't custom, just tweaked and skinned. Until motorola unlocks the bootloader (don't hold your breath that the devs will ever figure it out), there is no hope. This is why you probably won't see MIUI either.
getting past that, has there ever been a sense port for a non-htc phone? No HTC phone has had the same hardware as the atrix, so i'm betting it's hard to impossible.
not trying to be an ass, just making sure you understand. This is an awesome phone, just don't come in expecting all the openness of old HTC phones.

Thank you all

The day before yesterday my DHD's touchscreen went all dead on me.
Since warranty was allready over en probably void too I was forced to get a new phone.
I was in doubt off what new phone to get but HTC kinda grew on me. So, I'm moving over to Sensation(XE) threads.
allready running Virtuous ICS on it now so tings are going very well
Just wanted to thank the DHD community for giving me a great time. I've learned a lot from all of ya and had loads of fun.
See you on the other side

It's a bit early to say but I do like the screen and it;s resolution.also batterylife is a lot better and of course its a lot faster than DHD.
I must say it's a lot more comfortable to hold in your hand then DHD. A bit smaller so it fits better in an average hand

Don't buy it for the headset though, it kinda sucks to be honest. the cord is too short, earplugs are too heavy and sound is nothing special about.
Glad I got http://www.hi-stands.eu/shop/index....n=article&group_id=10000245&aid=12308&lang=NL a while ago, pretty sweet sound

Well it's sad to see you go. Our loss is the Sensation's gain.
Hopefully our paths should cross again

Good luck bro!

WOW Such development still going on XD

I'd just like to say WOW - I had a HTC Hero GSM (G2 touch i guess as I am from the uk and it was on tmo ) I've now got a desire, but you know what I actually miss the hero, it was my little Hero - I had it running faster (appearance - not clock speed) than the wildfire and the wildfire S (I used to tease my mates about it LOADS) I loved that little thing. Ok so I like the desire, its got better hardware yes, but I really dont care, and I'm glad we are getting ICS going on it, but at the end of the day its just a phone now. My ikkle Hero was never just a phone to me it was a HERO
Anyway I just decided to pop my head in and see if any1 was still developing for it, and wow am I surprised! it's got loads of people still keeping that awesome phone going! my congrats to the devs too for starting to look at ICS for the Hero! and to everyone else who it keeping it going.... I am impressed, and wish I had never given the hero to my g/f (now ex who bloody sold it for £50 -____- ).
I guess this thread has no real purpose... I just wanted to say well done people, and dont put your Hero down coz others have "better" phones, its all perspective. For the hardware the Hero has, it does so so sooooooo well.
Over and out

One Up for that
Some weeks ago my Desire just broke and I had to switch back to my old Hero.
I allways was interested in CustomRoms but never switched because I didnt wanted to lose warranty. But with the Hero already being out of warranty I started trying out Roms
Just great what the community is able to do with that hardware. So much better than the manufacturers rom. Current, faster and more functions build in.
If my desire wouldnt be repaired I would happily stay with the Hero.
But now I think I will give it to my g/f
regards
st

Well, I'm also back for a while only phone ever w/h (major) problems... though I miss the performance and size of my HOX..
