can i just switch on the phone by using the battery charger or power supply without apply the battery into the phone?

Nope. Can't be done. I don't think it can be done for most phones nowadays. I know a while back, quite a while back that is, you could. But not anymore.

u mean an external battery charger for a 2nd battery.. i think it is not available yet in the market

Actually there is a method but i don't know if it will work with HD2.

First plug in the charge/usb cable with the phone on. It should show charging, then you remove the battery. If you are lucky the phone remains on without battery. I know this work with the HD.

I bear no responsibility for any damage caused.

for those who wish topurchase hd2 , better purchaase if available as there is shortage ,

as far i know the new batch of stock touch down (friday) only 500 unit but there is more than 1000 unit order not clear

Hopefully Bruce kept stock for me 2moro :-)

no, i mean i want to use the power/charger cable to power on the hd2.
same as your laptop... you take out the battery and power on it by using the power supply.

anyone tried before?

Sifu out there...

If I get my phone, any suggestion what to install before using the phone? Especially to solve the sms problem....

i dun think that it is a very good idea where u take out the battery and use the AC supply to power your phone, it damages your phone if i am not mistaken, i get what u mean and i tried that on the HP iPaq 612c last time. I think it is because that the current going directly to your phone is kinda excessive and with the battery, it acts like a resister and lower the current into the device.

Added on December 4, 2009, 1:56 amdepends on what do u need and what do u usually do.. for the SMS problem, there's a solution which u install a cab file to disable HTC msg and use the original WM 6.5 threaded SMS which won't cost the lag.

Not true. The battery is one of the most sensitive part, voltage needs to be maintained within specs or it will damage or burst into flame. Current regulating done by IC onboard, not just resistors.

just did some field testing with this.

VERDICT: not bad. pretty speedy.SENSE 2.5 was faster on HD2, it could be cuz my TP2 was running a PORT, or because HD2 had a faster processor. hard to tell. but gaming wise there was hardly any difference, since the only games that could be tested on WVGA already run full speed on Touch Pro 2. Things remain to be seen with FPSECE though

CONS: cant fit my palm. felt like always gonna fall off.
the back cover, like, erm, i dunno, i always preferred rubberised plastic and i was always worried of scratching the HD2
Absolutely HATED the fact that the camera juts out. guarantee the finish will scratch out in time.

The is now a patch for the driver which makes SENSE and games perform faster.

nice find! should add into first post.

but still not as satisfactory lol. but i foresaw this issue already haha so didnt get. Btw, its just the same as NeosOpenVG drivers right?

im getting from him too... 2 units...for my brother and me

yea.. lucky everyone no stock

you save RM5798 for this week

Geram... I am still waiting for mine too.

For those whom are still waiting for the HD2

UPSIDE

1.Many unresolved issues, eg pinkish screen, sms not sent, task manager, slow SENSE etc etc
2.To rectify the current issues you probably need to flash new ROM and reconfigure your device again, eg email settings, contacts etc etc
3. Dutty is now cooking a ROM for HD2, which will be more superior than the stock ROM as usual

DOWNSIDE

Can't play with this BEAST, which out weight all the above
