[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kane0127:
I just bout an HD2 with android software already installed. The problem is that the person I bought it from still has their gmail account and contacts still on the phone. I did a factory reset and that obviously did nothing. I cannot delete his gmail account and I cannot sign into the marketplace because it asks for his gmail login only. I have been at this for hours, even researching to reinstall the software. I got the MAGLDR loaded fine, but my phone will not connect to windows mobile. I had to hold down the power button and the lower volume button to get into usb mode for it to reinstall MAGLDR. It worked fine, but when I open up DAF.exe as administrator I get the same error everytime. Error Description: Config load failed.

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (712)

Error Description: CONFIG: can't open config file

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (291)

I even tried it on my computer that has XP and get the same message. I downloaded Andexplorer.apk on the phone to try and find the data.img to delete manually but couldn't find the file. The phone works great, I just need to DELETE his GMAIL ACCOUNT completely off the phone. Any help is much appreciated!!

If your phone has the Setup icon included, you need to activate that app so that you can go into the initial set up of your phone. Then you should be able to enter YOUR user id and password for the Google Account. As long as you are able to get into the initial setup screens of the phone, then you should be able to change the user id and password for the Google Account so that it will recognize you and not the previous owner.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenproverb:
Did you go into the address book under accounts and just remove the account? As far as I know you can delete it from there and then just add your own.

I can get into setup but when I get to the google account screen, his email already shows up and has a green check mark next to it. I tried clicking on it to open it but it will not do anything. If I go into gmail and view accounts and select his account and hit delete, it says I must do a factory reset which doesnt work either
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EhdisChris:
Same problem I had.

What I did was flash a ROM update for Core Droid and did the initial set up.

Problem Solved.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
IME this does NOT work because it says "some apps require this account to be active" or something like that. 99% sure this does not work

I think he's getting two things mixed up. He talked about Winmo first, then loaded Magldr, then looked for a data.img. Sounds like he's confusing NAND/SD.

when you try to run DAF.exe, make sure it's not a Clockwork ROM, and also make sure that on the phone you are in USB Flasher mode.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenproverb:
Yeah, then you're just going to have to go with the obvious and flash in a new ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kane0127:
its on nand. Not sure how to flash my own rom??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jrich19:
I agree you have to flash a new ROM I dont know if your on SD or NAND but NAND is probably the way to go :D

here is a link to the guide that tells you how to flash it ;)

if you follow it you shouldn't have many problems, once you find the build thats best for you and flash it you will go through the setup process as if it were new out the box

Once you have the Facebook app installed, you go to account management under the general phone settings and you can add your Facebook account there. Then you will get the option to sync contacts.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R832X5:
Hi,

I recently upgraded from an HTC Magic to an HTC Desire HD.

I noticed that the overall sound quality on the DHD is very poor.

I first noticed it when making a call, and the sound was very tinny. It sounded like the treble was turned way up, perhaps in an effort to increase clarity, which resulted in distortion and clipping. I suppose you could also describe it as a high pitched "buzz". I thought it might be the speaker, but ruled that out when I found the same result when using headphones or plugged into an external sound system.

The problem is noticeable in any situation:

a) The earpiece, when making calls

b) The loud speaker, when on speaker-phone or playing music

c) Line-out (headphones, speaker, sound systems, etc) for calls and music

d) Even just the "beep" the phone makes when you turn up the volume, or any other system sounds (high pitched ones obviously make the buzz more prevalent)

I did some searching online and found a few forum threads, and some people agree that it's not very good while others say it is fantastic.

The review on GSM Arena seems to agree that the SQ is lacking, but that seems to contradict what I've heard a lot of people on the forums say.

The main problem is that people have different opinions of what is acceptable, what is good, and what is not.

So, I created a video in attempt to demonstrate what I'm talking about.

I ask that you please watch it, and tell me if it sounds similar to your Desire HD, or if there is something wrong with mine. When comparing your phones to other makes or models, does yours sound a lot more trebley and tinny?

The first part of the video is a speakerphone comparison with a Samsung Galaxy S and my DHD. It's kind of hard to tell in the video, but it's clearly evident in person. I also included a line-out recording with the DHD and an HTC Magic, which I think illustrates the issue a bit better. The last part of the video is comparing audio, from a computer, an SGS, and the DHD. The volume from the SGS and the DHD were pretty low, so I had to boost them a bit in post-processing which does make the "tinny" clipped treble sound very apparent, albeit a little exaggerated.

This issue is less prevelent in some styles of music, so I will also include a link to the exact song used in my tests in case anyone would be so kind as to try playing it back on their device and see if they get the same result.

Tycho - Past is Prologue

I should also mention that SRS and Dolby and all that jazz don't make a difference -- while they do make some songs sound better, the high pitched "buzz" distortion is still present -- and since it's there with plain old system sounds, ringtones, calls, etc., I think it is fair to assume that the music EQ and effects don't really have anything to do with the issue.

Finally, here is the video (be sure to select 720p for optimum audio quality):

hey there, please get the TELUS AUDIO FIX for your device

its a .zip

simple to install, just put it on the ROOT of your sdcard

then boot into recovery

i assume you know what recovery is because you have modded the phone

and apply update from zip

pick the telus.audio.fix.zip

give it 10-30 seconds

and boom fixed

I haven't had a chance to try anything yet -- I am going to try re-flashing TurboniumX when I get home from work, and I'll report back.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R832X5:
I flashed the update, and it's fixed! Audio from calls is still a bit more treble-heavy than my Magic and the SGS, but I assume that's just the way the phone is. The clipping and distortion is almost completely gone -- you can still kind of hear it, more so when wearing headphones, but it's waaaay better than before.

Did a line-in recording of the same voicemail prompt, and while still not quite up to par with the quality from the HTC magic, it is definitely way better than before. Clipping is only noticeable with max volume, and even then it's not that bad.

When playing back that Tycho song that I used in my video for demo, it sounds so much better. You can't hear distortion at all. I did another line-in recording with the updated DHD and compared to the recording I made yesterday (pre-fix) and with the recodring from the SGS, and the post-fix DHD sounded pretty much on par with the SGS. The buzz was gone.

Ringtones sound normal again!

Thanks for your help everyone.

Dude...install the telus audio fix

It helps a lot...revolution claims the sound fix is included but it is not
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacut:
well...I have just ordered my DHD and would ask/have confirmation that:

1) telus audio fix is better than update from HTC (supposing to have it ready on HDH)

2) where I can get telus audio fix

3) which are the minimum changes I have to apply to my DHD (simply accessing / dir ? being super user ? I would leave it, by now, as it is just in case my DHD would need HTC's assistance)

Thanks !

Ok it starts to be clear now.

Just one question. Moodding the phone would it make warranty unavailable any longer ?

I am getting my DHD in the next few days and would avoid losing warranty.

Maybe official HTC upgrade would solve audio issue ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R832X5:
If you read through the TurboniumX thread, there should be some info on how to flash it.

If you have ClockworkMod Recovery on your phone, just put the zip on the root directory of your SD card and flash like any other patch from CWM.

If you don't have CWM, well, then run a quick search on the forums for a guide on how to do that.

I believe so, yes. If you wanted to get warranty service done, you'd have to restore the phone back to stock.

If there's an official HTC update out, then by all means give that a shot :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feltwo:

About the method:

is it correct I have to leave the .zip as it is and NOT decompressing it ?

Final stupid question:

what does CM7 mean ? Is it CM = ClockworkMode ?

Ehm...I found 1 answer.

CM7 = CyanogenMod 7.0, which is a ROM, ok.

I have the original RMO from HTC so there should not be any problem at all ;)

Anyway...looking forward in getting those 2 remaining answers from any of you.

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R832X5:
"cm7-inspire-audiofix-r1.zip" is the correct one. I think the person who referred to it as "telus.audio.fix.zip" was just using that as an example.

Correct. Leave as .zip, do not uncompress.

CyanogenMod 7.

ClockworkMod Recovery is usually abbreviated as CWM.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacut:
Ok. I am in front of CWM recovery menu.

I read this:

....

- apply update from sdcard

.....

- install zip from sdcard

If I go into "apply update from sdcard" I get this:

....

Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip

....

I assume that is NOT what we are looking for, therefore I move up one level and choose "Install zip from sdcard" and then I get:

- apply /sdcard/update.zip

- choose zip from sdcard

....

If I choose "zip from sdcard" I get the list or my root sd card and I can pick "cm7.inspire-audiofix-r1.zip". On when I choose it I get

...

Yes - Install cm7-inspire.audiofix-r1.zip"

....

I did it and everything went ok.

It didn't take 30 seconds, rather 2-3 seconds. Did I do the right thing ?

Everything works fine. I don't believe the sound has changed, so I assume this is no the right way to apply this patch.

Could you pls help ?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarptecimer:
You did it right as I know pacut,

I think you should also install an equalizer from the android market and play with the settings a little.

The Turbonium X that I've installed boosts up treble mostly; so the sound is like a little robotic but it is higher :)

Take care...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R832X5:
Yeah, sounds like you did it correctly... It doesn't take 30 seconds, only a few.

If the SQ isn't any better... Then I don't know what you can do, sorry. I myself noticed a drastic improvement in quality after applying the patch. Is yours still as bad as mine was in the video that I posted? Because as you can see from that video, before applying the patch, the SQ was awful.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacut:
You know what ? Maybe you are right. Sounds is better.

I applied this patch in the very early days with my DHD, therefore I am not very used to hear bad sound from it.

yesterday I made a conference call through the speaker, and sound was a little metallic but overall clear and loud.

I do believe that, yes, I have to use an equilizer. Looking into andoid market I didn't find anything really interesting. The only one apps are player, whose equalizer does work only during playing. Do you know any app that works overall for ringer, speaker, etc. ?

Thanks !

Im running ARHD 3.3 and im very happy with the sound quality. Im a musician so my ears are pretty sensitive. I use high quality inear phones from shure and my last device was an ipod touch. I dont hear any difference in quality.

Of course the loud speaker wont win any prices but that's the case with every phone in heard so far. With the ARHD improvements its bareable and loud enough.
