[HD2 General] Robson:
just my 2 cents: sorry as i forgot to mention this bit

before i got my hd2 i was using a touch pro 2. it was stolen in my previous office (yeah the jerk works in the same place as i did). anyway, i called up my network provider (telstra) and they also said they couldn't lock my phone. however, i googled locking the imei and came up with yet another customer service line that was independent to telstra. so i reported my imei and it took a few seconds for the guy on the phone to say "ah, there it is." he then confirmed it was now locked.

played around with google and found this site:

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=113583

not sure if this applies to you mate as you're in london while i'm in australia. but hope that helps.

cheers
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Get one from a big reputable stores like Fortress, Broadway, Chung Yuan, etc. Make sure they have the QTS logo. Emphasis you want an English edition. The box should read "HTC HD2 T8585 (WWE)".

However, I don't think you would get international warranty.

I supposed you have already changed your passwords. Even then, he can still read the mails that are already downloaded.

HD2 in HK are using Asia/Europe bands:

3G: 900/2100

2G: 850/900/1800/1900

Should be the same as in UK.
[HD2 General] weqr:
Well, I went to lots of shops and finally found one that sold it - most other shops said the HD2 was unpopular and been discontinued for awhile. It was an Asian model and I asked if they could change it to English which they did. Had it for nearly 2 weeks now with no problems and all for £240 which was a great deal.

Incidentely I looked a copy version from China - put my SIM card in and it jammed...

[Atrix 4G General] Recon Freak:
Official software updates

Data charges should not be incurred because you screwed the proigramming up GREEDY aholes.
[Atrix 4G General] skunz35:
Is this any different from the beta version?
[Atrix 4G General] Recon Freak:
Excellent question? I don't want to accept it if it will restrict me by removing Root.
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
Im almost positive it will be the same as the beta. You WILL lose root. Sideloading will remain, but not root.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
There's a fine balance between OEMs being accountable for releasing updates appropriately and rushing out slop jobs. I hope that Motorola is steady and responsible with their updates (example: not releasing sloppy updates which break other functions).

As long as this is delivered, I don't care whether they're a gigabyte or a megabyte in size. :cool:
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
OP, where did you get this information?
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
oh, i hope 17mb doesnt hurt your wifi connection :S
[Atrix 4G General] Mechapanda:
this update however.

will probably close root loopholes so don't accept it if you wanna keep your root, idk why they'd put it in the early OTA and not the public ota.
[Atrix 4G General] __redfox__:
I have been experiencing problems with my connection dropping. More have reported the same issue over here. Do we know if this update fixes the connection drops? I also understand I will loose root. If I want to sideload, should I root and enable sideloading before updating (if I decide to update that is)?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] PAulyhoffman:
He works at ATT and received info of the update via interoffice email
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Like many others are probably going to do, I'm also going to abstain from doing the update right away. Don't want to lose root access or find out that the bootloader has been clamped down even harder.

That'd be sweet if they did something which ironically made the bootloader easier to crack. Sort of like how Sony's PS3 encryption used a mind numbingly easy algorithm to crack or whatever it was. Here's to hoping!
[Atrix 4G General] __redfox__:
Anyone been prompted for the update via sms yet? If so, did you do it? Also, can we expect someone to get root with this soon? Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedoboop:
I'm new to this rom stuff guys i read around and still can't seem to find the answer...

since the Vibrant stock fw is 2.1-Update 1

DO i have to download a rom that's 2.1?

or can i just go to 2.2.1 or 2.2?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
so your on 2.1update-1 thing?

and want to get a 2.2 or 2.2.1?

Just root your phone, get rom manager, flash clockwork recovery, then flash roms. there's guides on this, their stickied.

Find em' im on phone
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedoboop:
what I'm trying to say is do i need to be on firmware 2.2 to run roms 2.2 etc.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
No. Root/rom manager/clockwork/pick your rom/flash per devs instructions. Literally that simple and almost as fast as you reading this.

The rom will wipe and flash over any existing firmware you have no matter what.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedoboop:
Oh ok thanks (: <3!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] brainmaster:
Many of us are disappointed about the reading speed of the SD Cards on our HD2. It doesn't matter if you have fast 10 Class SD Card, it performs very poorly on HD2 comparing how it performs on the PC.

The clue is the Cache size for reading from SD Card. It's set to 128 KB, on some ROM's it's even set to 4 KB!

You can check for yourself your Cache size by looking into this file:

/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

You can change it manually but it will be reverted to default on the reboot. The changes need to be done permanently by loading the script on the startup through the init.d.

Or you can flash the CWM zip files that I made for you.

For RA 1.7 Recovery zip look into this post. Many thanx to user laie1472 for making them.

You must find which Cache size fits best for your SD Card. In my case its the 3072 KB Cache size. At best, use the Root Explorer to change the value, then run SD Tools Benchmark - finally flash the CWM zip file that fits your SD Card.

Here are two screenshots - the first one shows the reading speeds with the default Cache 128 KB and the second one is with the 3072 KB Cache with my Class 4 SD Card on CM7 RC2 by Charnsingh.

The Benchmark is made with the SD Tools program.

If you want to convince yourself of the speed improvement after applying the fix, just open your Gallery and see how fast it loads the photos!

Suggestion: 2048 KB Cache size performs at best for most of the SD Cards!

If you don't have CWM then you can do following:

Make a file with this content:

Version 1:

Version 2 (If the Version 1 is not working for your ROM - credit goes to rafpigna!):

Change the red marked number from 128 to what you need (example 2048) and save it as "99sdcardreadfix", copy it with the Root explorer or push it with ADB into /system/etc/init.d and set permissions to 777. Reboot.

Some of the ROM chiefs have hardcoded this values in the init, that can't be changed - only by the chief himself.

Some of the ROM's already contain this tweak in another script that is saved in the init.d folder. Probably it's tagged with the number 99 in the filename to be sure that it's executed at last. You have to change it there.

Rafpigna - the HD2 Android chief - pointed that out over here.

For ROM Cookers - add this line into init.rc file:

UPDATE: There is now free app on the market that do this for you.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] D4rk50ul:
Very interesting. I'm going to test this out on HyperDroid GBX.. Any downside to just using the 4mb cache?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] brainmaster:
No, by default is 128 KB. So I think that it is better to have anything beyond that.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] phuKKah:
Instant results on HyperDroidGBX V11 confirmed
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] matmar:
ram rom

Can it be used on RAM ROM ?

Imilka S vivo for example ?

thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] brainmaster:
Try to change the values manually and see if there is any diference. If that ROM uses the CWM then you can flash the file, if not then you have to find another way of adding the values to the file.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] D4rk50ul:
Which cache size did you use?

I'm running the stock 16gb class 2.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Derek0228:
It's true, this is awesome. Reading speed was vastly improved! I'm using a c2 sandisk 32gb with hyperdroid gbx.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] beston94:
is the reading the only thing that improves drastically?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] 10507:
How do you know which Cache size to use? I am running a stock 16G card.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] brainmaster:
Yes, the writing speeds are not reduced or influenced by the Cache size.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] brainmaster:
Just read the first post - it's trial and error for every SD Card.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] beston94:
ACtaully my writing was reduced from 5.5 to 4.0.

Im running GBX v11 and have and htc hd2 eu and my sd card is 2 gb
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] brainmaster:
Run the benchmark again.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] beston94:
I ran it aagain and it reduced only by 1 but thank you very much anyway becuase the reading speed jumped from 20 mb to 88.5mb and just out of curiosity what does the reading speed speed up? faster launching of programs?or something else.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] brainmaster:
Everything that is on SD reads and loads faster - you can notice the difference when looking the pictures in the gallery.

So I've tested all fixes to find out which is the best for me and here r the results

I running on JW3s MIUI 1.3.18

[7 Mozart General] HTCalltheway:
Hi everyone, i would like to know if this happens just to me or all of you out there.

today i noticed that my screen flickers when i set the brightness to low. it's very noticeable when i have the background set to light.

I tried restarting it, it was ok at first but after i opened a few programs then quit them by pressing the start button the screen started flickering again.

it seems like it flickers the most under heavy cpu or memory load, for example when moving between the tiles screen and the list screen or when i'm using the facebook app.

it's not a huge problem but it's very annoying..

Please leave some feedback about wether your phone is the same or not.. Thanks! :)

Is it worth it to install JVK just for the bootloader update? How is it any different from JV1 bootloader? Can I install it from any CWM package? Currently on MIUI ROM..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
C'mon guys... some input on this?? Bump.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
JVK bootloader update is same as the JV1 one. If you already have that, you don't need to update the bootloader :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] msolus:
with the new GB bootloader what changes? i'm hesitant to flash because i don't understand what a new bootloader means (i know that flashing it is dangerous but i've never had any usb issues when flashing a rom).

can i still go back to 2.2.1 if i update the bootloader? anything else to know?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
JV1 -> 2.3.2

JVK -> 2.3.3

So are you sure about that? :) I had flashed JV1 previously... so the JVK brings no update?

Yes, you can! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
Yes I'm sure.

The new bootloader stops the screen corruption (rainbow screen) you'd get on booting a GB ROM without the new bootloaders
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
Alright, thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
wait what?

jv1 and jvk contains same bootloader files?

what about the boot animation. why it is so choppy

(i flashed the no_bootloader_version)

and sorry for a bit offtop
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
Jvk sbl.is different to jv1, although the boot.bin is the same
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
So what does that mean? Is the startup faster?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] westcoastricho:
yeh im getting corrupted booting aswell from flashing without the new bootloader. any way to correct this? or get back to 2.2.1... thanks.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsxt2189:
So, like the majority of people who has a fascinate who wants to get 2.2, I found myself working through the threads posted on these forums. But I've ran into a snag.

i've set everything up correctly and rooted the phone. Before I push and install a custom rom, i'd like to have a back up. So i've been using clockwork to do this. Rom manager keeps failing about a 1/3 of the way through back up. it says something along the lines of "error while backing up boot image".

I cannot figure out what exactly is going on here. I've tried many different things but with no success. Can anyone shed some light on how to fix this so I can get a back up before I put a custom rom on the phone?

Thanks!

Download CWM in step 8

Then, if you don't have Odin, Download it in Step 2

Read Step 3 and 4.

Instead of putting ROM in PDA, put the CWM.tar file in PDA.

Then click start.

It will reboot to RED CWM.

When CWM is installed, you can download any ROM of your choice, I suggest SuperClean 2.9.2. V, from Android Development Section.

If this Helped you, Thx me by pressing button at bottom right :D

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
STOCK ROM

http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/DI01package3.tar.md5

THESE Steps are to upgrade your phone to Froyo.

since your phone is rooted skip to #2.

BEFORE DOING ANY OF THESE STEPS, MAKE SURE TO BACK UP EVERYTHING. Contacts w/e u need after installing ROM.

Best Backup App is Titanium Back-Up. (It's 5bucs, but worth every penny)

Must Do before all the steps

1. Download and Install Samsung Drivers

64bit:

http://www.wikifilez.com/root file...alaxyS_x64.zip

or

32bit:

http://www.wikifilez.com/root file...Phones_x86.exe

2. Go to Settings > Applications > Development > Enable Debugging then plug in your phone

Step 1: Download Z4Root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

put it into sdcard, click "my files", then install it. After that, click Permanent Root. If its done, the Phone should reboot.

Step 2: Now you have successfully rooted your phone, you can Download CWM, but before you do that, you need Odin.

Download Odin here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832827

Then Download CWM: I uploaded this link by myself, couldn't find decent one.

http://www.4shared.com/file/08yRO9cs/cwm-recovery-ALL.html

Step 3: To flash CWM, you have to turn your phone to "Download Mode"

It can be done simply by taking battery out and Holding down button + home key, then plug it to USB.

Step 4: Now you are ready to flash CWM. Open the Odin, if your phone is connected, the message box should say "Added!!" Then, you are good to go.

After that, click "PDA" and click the CWM.tar file and press Start.

Don't unplug until the message @ bottom shows up!

When the process is done the message box should say

" Removed!!

Completed..

All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)"

Step 5: When its done, put the battery back on. When it starts, it should go in to 2.5.1.x Red CWM. Its perfectly fine, now just click reboot now.

Volume Down > Down

Volume Up> Up

Menu > Back

Back Button > Forward

Step 6: Download SC Rom here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983395

Then put it into SD Card.

Step 7: Turn off your phone, then Start the Phone by pressing BOTH of Volume key > Power button.

It should take you back to CWM.

When you are in CWM

Wipe DATA/Cache

Wipe Dalvik (click Advance)

Step 8: Click "Install zip from SDCARD"

Then click the Archive you've saved the ROM.

Then Apply it, it might take a while to Copy files.

When its done, click "Reboot System Now"

Rebooting might take 2~5 mins or more.

Your phone is rooted/Rom'd

You can choose theme that is SuperClean friendly.

Let me know if there's any problem....

If this helped you.

Press THANKS button !!

If you are in Stock ROM right now, you can just flash (assuming you are rooted) CWM and there is Nandroid Backup Menu in there.

[Thunderbolt General] mtuckman:
Picked up the TB on launch day and loving the 4G speeds in Jacksonville, FL.

So, in preparation for a trip to Canada that I am on, I contacted VZ to make sure everything was all set. Added the Global Data Roaming for a few bucks a day, called the day before to make sure the phone and account was all set up - we have 3 other Android's with us on the same account (Incredible, Droid 2, Droid 2G).

So, at this point, all the other phones are experiencing at least 1x data, frequently 3G service. The TB - almost nothing. Every once in a while I would see the phone switch into 1x service, but usually lasts no more than a minute at the most.

Called tech support and their primary suggesting was to reboot the phone, that would fix it. Not real impressed. I guess I knew there could be issues since this is a new phone, but still. I was really counting on the data access for use with Google Maps / Navigation, etc.

Then to add insult to injury, received a text message saying I had already racked up more than $50 of data service charges for each line, including the TB! Checked the online detail and I have used less than 300k of data!!!!! I am guessing that the text message is not that reliable.

Can't wait to get home and get the next bill, which should be out in a couple of days.

I searched the forum for something similar to no avail, so if I missed it, I apologize. So I had been running CM 6 stable for a month and everything was great. Hadn't upgraded kernels, or any other modifications. Turned my phone off for the night last night, and when it came back on, stuck in bootloop for no good reason why. So, oh well, I'll just flash a new ROM, no big deal, then tried CM7RC, it boots, I use titanium backup to restore everything, it all works well, until I reboot the phone again, and bam, right back to bootloop, but this time with CM7. I'm completely out of ideas, any help would be appreciated. I've wiped davlik, cache, did factory reset, everything I can think of.

Thanks ahead of time.

Try fixing permissions in recovery, if that fails then try wiping ALL data and installing CM again. If that doesn't work, try a Sense ROM, it might be an AOSP problem
