Kere, 27 Apr 2012Hi Anthony,
Yes , it is similar to the pictures. But min... moreSorry 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.

Anthony, 27 Apr 2012What you are saying about the copper is very interesting
... moreHi 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.

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

Kere, 26 Apr 2012Hi people.
I posted here couple weeks ago about my frustr... moreYes 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.

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.

Do u know some one in Mumbai India by paying ... moreNo 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.

Kere, 03 Apr 2012I never buy HTC product again. I'v had enough with my HD2. ... moreHi 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
