NICK, 09 Oct 2009LOL !! Finally you admitted that how nasty htc hd is out of... moreI compared 6.1 with 6.5.. My friend was already not having problems with 6.1, he actually pointed alot of interesting facts about about the HD that his previous phone (iPhone3g) didn't have.. But noticing how much faster, stable and more friendly gui the cooked and 6.5 has, he wanted to flash it..
The Leo it self will need cooking as well, i noticed some slowness in videos on youtube.. Fast but not for a 1ghz cpu..
So its not perfect out of the box too.. Maybe you should clean up your basement.. I don't why you think we stay in basements to flash cooked roms..
I do that anywhere anytime, at work at home at my friend's place..
That's how ideotic you are to stay in basements with your phone and figuring out how to flash your head with a cooked brain..

    Dexter.
    someone I know was looking at my phone and liked it. and wants me to come back tomorrow to sell it to them as is (with cooked rom) for £300.
    I said ok but now a little voice is telling me to keep my HD.
    but the HD2 looks sooo good.
    if you where me what would you do?
    I really want to know.
    (keep in mind I got my HD from clove Nov 2008. when it just came out)

      Dexter Morgan, 09 Oct 2009Here are the combination of features that will make me buy ... moreLOL !! Finally you admitted that how nasty htc hd is out of box. Need lots of work to be done for even simple day to day use. So guys if you decide to buy new HTC HD, prepare to do the following:

      1) Make "XDA developer" your Home page.

      2) Clean up your parent's basement to flash cooked roms. The reason you need basement is: a) You can concentrate on your work b) No windows in basement: That means less chances of throwing your new HD out of window if something goes wrong.lol c) In the end, if you are not satisfied with rom the way you wanted after spending hrs …..at least you can je..rk off and take a good sleep.

      3) Buying extra back cover could be handy - You may need to take out back cover & battery very often as it hangs often in the middle of sth. This makes the back cover loose.

        Dexter Morgan, 09 Oct 2009Now if i buy the Leo soon, how impressed would i be?.. I'l... morethe speed I think you are going to see is a drastic cut down in program startup times. and because of the more ram you will be able to have more apps open at the same time before you start to see lag. touchflo animation will also move faster.actual use of programs may be about the same as far as speed goes.

          Here are the combination of features that will make me buy a phone after the HD.

          1- nVidea Tegra/SnapDargon
          2- Dual/Stereo Speakers
          3- 8mp Camera+Flash
          4- HD Video Capture (720p)
          5- Physical tilting Keyboard (No on-screen keyboard, to work freely)
          6- Front camera.
          7- 4.1-4.3 inch 480x800
          8- 1350mAh+++ Batteries
          9- Stylus (Screen Pen)
          10- Multi-touch Resisteve or capacitive.

          We'll hopefully hear something about those features soon..

          Until then, when you go to the hTC section here, take a good look at the phones that have been released after the HD.. You'll really feel how this phone is holding on amazingly..

            Now if i buy the Leo soon, how impressed would i be?..
            I'll notice the smooth scrolling..
            I'll notice the Multi-touch features
            But what speed are we talking about here? Apps are running amazingly on the HD, what kind of speed are we expecting? and for what? Is it gonna save half the time based on double the CPU performance size?

            Camera flash isn't necessary to replace a phone..

              Anthony, 09 Oct 2009I’m finding it really hard not to go out and buy the HD2 ri... moreA couple of weeks ago my friend bought the HD and i showed him Dutty's cooked ROM on mine.. He went Berserk, i promised him we'd flash one on his phone but we didn't have time to meet yet and do that, last night we hangout and i was playng around with his phone, then i thought to my self, if people who bought their HD and never went for a cooked ROM won't be blamed at all for drooling to get the HD2..

              I saw the following on the Stock 6.1 compared to Dutty's 6.5 while putting them side by side:

              1- Manila is way too slow.
              2- Slow functioning in settings tab
              3- Some programs start slower. (You have to wait 3-5)
              4- Camera is awful and way too slow.
              5- Opera is annoyingly lagging when scrolling
              6- Classic Start menu is fast + programs menu and settings. But interface is old.
              7- Rotation is very slow, sometimes doesn't work until you rotate again.
              8- Bluetooth features are limited.
              9- Communication settings are old but working fast.
              10- Battery drains faster.
              11- Youtube didn't work with with the wifi access point i used.
              12- Connection error Send/receive email via wi-fi.. GPRS/3G was fine.
              13- Messenger was fine but Keyboard inputs was slow after typing.
              14- hTC Album was rubbish, loading pics when browsing preview was very slow when you scroll down.
              15- Taskbar notifications start with varied speed. very slow or very fast.
              16- File Explorer navigation is slower.
              17- Old Radio versions made the phone a bit warmer.
              18- Phone pad started much slower, and when dialing numbers on Dutty's HD appeared faster.
              19- Listening to a call wasn't as clear.
              20- MS inbox felt like overloaded. But fairly fast.

              I don't know what else to add, my friend saw 2 exact hardware, but when looking at the 2 screens was like looking at 2 different phones.

              So since the HD with Dutty's Roms performs as fast as what's based on our needs, i don't see any reason why adding a 1Ghz processor, How would we use such power as of yet? Is there any apps yet to support that? Like 3D games other than Need for Speed or Spore or what so ever? They are all working fine on the HD..

              When looking at Leo's Manila and how it performs on the HD, well it should not work at all if HD2 was certainly an upgrade..

              Double the processor size but not much of performance difference..

              We need to see more visual performance..

              Like the difference between iPhone 3G and 3GS.. 3GS was calculated to be 4x faster than 3G..

                Anthony, 09 Oct 2009I’m finding it really hard not to go out and buy the HD2 ri... more1) Snapdragon chipset has been developed as a highly power-efficient platform. Ppl are simply bashing about phone' battery life even before the release. May be it got better battery life than Hd. Nobody knows…. wait & see.

                2) Why u need secondary video camera? To use this features, your friend at the other end should also have this feature on his phone plus Carrier should also support this feature.

                3) Handwriting recognition is something about softwares. There will be some programs later which will let you doodle on this massive screen with your finger without use of stylus. Moreover HTC has already filed patents for capacitive stylus. There are lots of programs for iphones…..you can write on screen with finger.

                4) Physical buttons at the bottom is more about Personal Preference. You should delete this point.

                5) Running leo rom on your HD is not so much fun as in HD2.

                3 strong REASONS to get HD2:

                1) 1ghz processor & 400 plus RAM
                2) Big screen
                3) Capacitive screen

                  Dexter Morgan, 09 Oct 2009The HD2 is surprisingly cheaper than i thought in clove... ... moreI’m finding it really hard not to go out and buy the HD2 right now. lol
                  I almost did it last night.
                  What stopped me was... I really don’t like those physical keys at the front/bottom (ill find a way to damage it)
                  But if it turns out they are not really moving parts but just a raised surfaces so you know where they are in the dark... I’m so buying that phone.

                  Dexter ill start with what I think is better in the HD over the HD2 or reasons to hold off on buying the HD2.

                  Reasons to hold off...
                  1.I want to see if a next model comes out with a better battery. the HD has a better batter than the HD2

                  2.I want to see if a next model comes out with a front facing video camera. The HD has a front facing video camera.

                  3.I want to see if a next model finds a way to bring back hand writing Recognition. The HD has that.

                  4.I want to see if a next model gets rid of the moving keys on the front face. I liked how the HD was all touch screens to the front. (this is the only real deal breaker for me)

                  5.I already have the HD and I’m running the Leo rom on it (people that don’t have a HD need not count this one)

                  Reasons I think the HD2 is way better than the HD and its making me want to have it now :-) ....

                  1.HD2 has bigger screen than my HD.
                  2.HD2 has twice the computing power of the HD.
                  3.HD2 has a flash for the Camera, the HD does not.
                  4.HD2 has a multi touch screen, the HD does not.


                  Everything here I including interface I already do on my HD with the help of cooked roms (it just will not run as fast as it would on the HD2 because of the amount of computing power the HD2 has)

                  - Digital compass

                    We need to share reasons why we shouldn't rush in to getting the HD2..

                    Until now i think the HD will keep up till next year and will still hold on to its sky scrapping position..

                    Lets point out facts and useful features about both devices..

                      I want every one that reads here to see that there are people that hide behind the safety that no one really knows them here. so they can say what ever they want even if it is true or not. I want to call there bluff so every one can see how full of sh-t some people can be. and if the problem turn out to be real. then we will all learn from it.

                          1. the full qwerty is much better than the one the phone comes with(i can use it with my thumb.)
                          2.the touchflo goes a lot deeper so you see less of wm and more of that good looking touchflo.
                          3. how the new contacts integrates sms,mms,email call filters and Facebook all into one place.
                          4. the new start menu is more organized and usfull.
                          5. touch flo 3D has a better calendar.
                          there are more things I like but that is the main points

                                      Now I have WM 6.1 on HD. What would it mean if I install WM6.5. Is it so better that an ordinary user see a big difference? I can´t say that I am not satisfied with current version, works good. But You know, new version. Would be device slower in respond with this new version? Something like that.
                                      Thank You
