This makes me very happy, if the HD2 is going for £200+ nearly a year a half after being released with an awful OS then my DHD should be able to go for £300 end of this year, or around that I guess.

Yeah that's one of the reasons I ordered my Desire Z rather than waiting for the dual cores. Means I'm in no rush to get a new phone, and can wait to see what the best stuff that comes out is - and when it does I can flog the DZ.

Any HD2 can be hacked/Androided with ease, right?

Answer within an hour preferable :smile:

I don't see why not :hmmmm2:

Well there are, increasingly, varying models of phones being released.

With different hardware comes potential issues. (example being the OSF).

I've not really researched it, so I have no clue. I assumed it would be.

:s-smilie:

edit: Just thinking, what would I lose/gain if I got the HD2?

+ More power
+ More pixels
+ Flash
- A smallish phone? lol

Hmm.

How long does it last?

I'd say just a few hours in use. :erm:
when I check battery use it's always display that has taken up most power (90+%).

I have sneaky feeling it may be the charger, I was at my friends house 12 hours ago when it became fully charged (was with a nokia charger though).

Theres still like a third of the bar left, I've been using it as normal- but was sleep 7 hours so I couldn't say for sure.

Recently flashed any new f/w?

Updated to 2.2 the day I got it, which was...17 days ago, give or take.

Download OS monitor from the market to make sure nothing is forcing the CPU to stay at 1ghz and the phone not sleep. That's very strange because that's an atrocious battery life and I know the GS has a good one. Definitely try different chargers.

HD2s keep going for just less than £210.

If I manage to flog my Hero for >£90 it could be worth it.


Ugh, decisions decisions.


I know, right?

I'm so close to just buying one

but I haven't even had my Hero for 6 months; it feels a bit wrong.

I'm on like 14 months. I can't whack it til September, regardless how how good (relatively) Cronos/ele can make my phone.


Why don't you think you can wait? :beard: What are you missing out on?

A phone that is usable 24/7.

I will do a clean install of a working CGB 1.x and be selective of what I install.
Then I'll reassess.


I haven't had any problems with this phone whatsoever! It's never been unusable. So an upgrade isn't necessary tbh but I want more :colondollar:

Cronos released Ginger 1.0.0


Not sure if cba flashing.


I've gone back to froyo (CM 6.1 cos cronos was down). Gingerbread just seemed really slow albeit a lot cleaner and nicer :smile:
Lol I do feel for you guys with pre Desire phone :console:
Think I'll wait until Cronos GB is using a Cronos kernel and not the Flykernel. It just seems wrong...

And was the battery pretty bad after that? I get around 1% drain overnight so you shouldn't be getting that much drain overnight

Thing is, it's taken me three months to tinker with my phone as it was to the point that I was happy with it..

Back up your stuff before the update comes?

You should be able to restore your apps and most of your settings afterwards!
