Android on my HTC HD2#
Resources#
Customizations#
QuickSSHD#
Purchased/Installed QuickSSHD, very handy.
Connect via USB tehtering, set a password, and you ssh into your phone (run busybox /bin/sh) to get a neat shell.
Or better, add file ~/.profile, which is executed by the ash shell, and put busybox /bin/sh in it.
Favorite apps#
- astro (explorer)
- gmail
- Friend Stream
- QuickSSHD (in combination with USB Tethering on my Linux laptop)
Potentials :
- Secure EAS
- PhoneUsage
- Exchange Touchdown
Challenges#
Stability#
I still get regularly hangs, depending on what you do.
- after disabling "Background Data"
- after installing MySettings app and enabling 3G (uninstalled it again)
- phone hangs when you leave it alone for half an hour (sometimes)
I upgraded to Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14, see if that helps.
Well, that does help, but still I had a hang again this afternoon.
Battery drain#
While running WM, I can run the phone 2 or 3 days with one battery charge. Running Android I can hardly run just one day :-( . Today I measured a bit more accurately, I can run 10 hours with a full battery, that's really excessive, not acceptable.
EAS logon with DigtCert (fixed)#
Connecting to the enterprise EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) requires you to logon with a digital certificate. At the moment I don't see a way to do that (only userid/password logon).Probably Secure EAS can do the job.

This has been fixed by installing Exchange Touchdown from nitrodesk :-), I started with the free 30-day trial version. If everything remains a bit stable, I might purchase the full version.
