[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes you are very correct the LiIon batteries have s potential to be explosive. This is why I told him to maintane a watch on it as he was charging for any warming or swelling of the battery as this is a sign it needs to be disconnected. I do not recomend this method of charging as a daily charging method as there is no monitor of the battery bing charged beside the person doing the charging. With normal charging with the device the device has monitoring software and can tell you if it needs to be disconnected from the charger. But just to add to this subject for other members benifit, and I am not trying to promote charging batteries in this manner what so ever, as it is a certain level of danger involved all be it minimal. When you connect a USB cable to charge the battery normaly it creates a connection between the male mini USB connector pins and the the pins in the female port of the phone for the positive and the negative wires that go back to the wall charger or computer's USB port. The pins have a direct path to the battery pins so it can tranfer the voltage to the battery. So you see there is no internal parts in the phone that control charging only a pathway/conductor for the voltage to travel. The wall charger or the internal step down transformer of the computer is what controls voltage and the rate of flow of the electricity and voltage. So as long as you have proper connection and proper functioning charging source it is a very minimal risk. I have tested the pins in my HD2 while plugged into my wall charger and a USB cable I stripped back and got the exact same voltage readings. I have not seen a scimatic drawing on the HD2 but I have reseach charging of cell phones and most other battery operated devices and it is pretty much an indusrty standard that the charger controls charging with the pins or terminals that connect to the battery only providing a means of a conductive pathway for the charge to travel to the bttery terminals. But as I said before I do not suggest one to use my above method of charging as a normal thing. So please whenever possible use a approved charger or charging aporatise.
[HD2 General] lukesan:
My personal opinion... WAIT (sorry for the caps)

Don't risk to flash with that faulty or bad battery.

If you take the batt out of your device it doesn't boot at all, even on the 1 Amp charger!

If you check the warnings from HTC they state that you need atleast 50% in the batt. That warning is not there without a reason.

So if you have a bad battery you take very big risks that I would never take.

I know it itches to have this up and running the way you want to but for your mind and wallet sake buy another ebay batt.

Leave it aside untill a better batt arrives.

My 2 Eurocents!
[HD2 General] silverwind:
I have experienced flashing with battery less than 50% (around 35%), but I used SD Card method. If using USB sync, definitely will not work (I tried already ;) )

cheers
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
does if you put the phone into bootloader manually, ,, it bypasses the battery level check.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I just wanted to add here that the reason it will not turn on with the battery out and the charger plugged in. Look at the battery, notice the three terminals? the center terminal is the terminal that sends power to the phone. So when the battery is in it completes the circuit. If you were to bridge the positive pin and the center pin of the three HD2 battery pins. You would get the HD2 to boot with the charger plugged in and no battery in the HD2, unless there is a software fail safe in place. As I have not tried this yet but I am pretty sure it will work.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
That still does not make it safe; the battery should be charged above 50% when flashing by any method.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
removed because of my stupid mistake not checking usernames.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I didn't say it wouldn't work, I said it wasn't safe. I stand by that statement. EDIT: Battery charge can plunge suddenly once they get below 50% charge - it depends on the quality and age of the battery. I've seen it happen.

Did you ever think of keeping threads free from personal remarks?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ohhh, you aren't silverwind, I thought you were the same person that posted it deff wont work, when in fact you were commenting on my reply to him.

you have my sincerest apologies. It'll teach me to double check usernames in future.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
No big deal, I was just a little surprised!

EDIT: But do consider what I said. When a battery gets below, say 20%, it can drop very rapidly, especially if it is older. So one has to have a cutoff % at which flashing is not suggested. HTC and the NRG chef say 50%, which is what I use. I'm sure there is a considerable safety margin built into that number.
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Software update fail.... does that mean my hd2 is bricked?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Or you used the wrong rom perhaps? Hard to diagnose without things like phone version, rom you tried to flash, Hspl? SD or USB? Where do you get the error? Phone or PC?

Details details info and more details.! !"

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
which rom? (full filename before you extracted the leoimg.nbh file, please) also, on teh grey screen with blue writing (as it tries to flash from sd) does it sday anything about radio_rsa fail?
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Full rom name? Im sorry I have to search again for that rom on xda... I will get back to you with it... it didn't say anything about radio being failed... just update terminated n update fail...
[HD2 General] kompheak:
I give up... now it say radio rsa fail and stuck at loading when try to boot with SD card
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry man I know this has got you really frustrated cause I know I would be fumming by now. Have you tryied putting the phone in a bag and thenin the freezer for a little while then flash the ROM via SD card. Even if you are not experiencing over heating this still may help as not only will you lower the core temperature of the processor. The cold will cause the CPU and the mainboaed to come closer together due to cold making things contract. This contraction can cause your processor and mainboard to getca better conetion for a short period until it warms back up. Itchas been a lot of people on here parley with the same problem as you and some are from extremely over heating of the phone causing the connection of the CPU to the mainboard to fail. Some are not having over heating issues but still have this issue that the ones with over heating are having. My personal theory on this is that owed HD2s are finally starting to show the signs of hardware breakdown from just normal use. And this is the last sign that it will give before nothing short of replacing the mainboard will fix it. Keep trying and trying and trying and just when you are ready to take a hammer to it try some more as you have to get lucky onece and get the ROM to completely flash. But like I said if you replace the mainboard you will be golden.
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Thanks man and everyone else that help... this is my first and will b the last buying broken phone... but good news... I found a new/use board for cheap... I will b back n a week to let you guys know how things go.

Back to my mytouch 3g
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Actually I'm back!... tried the freezer method n there was improvement... now its stuck on "stick together" :/... now what?....
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you got the ROM to flash just leave it in the freezer for a little longer. Then turn the phone on but leave it in the freezer to boot. Even if it boots though as soon as the enternals start to get warm again it will probably freez up on you making you soft reset.
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Yea I notice that soft reboot the first time... stuck it in freezer longer and boot it up again..... BAM! ITS ALIVE!
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Just one little annoying issue now... once I click the power button after everything is running... the screen go black... then hit power again it boot back up but freeze at stick together screen... my only way to pass that logo is to put phone back in freezer
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah it most definitely sounds like your HD2 is suffering from thermal breakdown. I would most definitely replace the mainboard as this is the only thing that will permanently fix your problem. Go to this thread to learn more about thermal breakdown, senior member facdemol does a very good job of explaining it. Try to read all of his post as they are very informative.
[A7 General] TThupvong:
Hiya alll, Sorry in advance if i am posting this in the wrong section but i just registered and just got the a7 tablet and have a question. I just recently rooted the tablet earlier last night. I think it was done correctly, but just this afternoon while trying to change the display settings on the tab, when i go to settings display, i get this message.

"the application Settings (process com.andoid;settings) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again".

I'm only so so when it comes to tech stuff so i'm at a loss as to what this means or how to fix it. any suggestions would be great. Thanks!:D
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Please look in the thread where you downloaded the rom... actually the exact post you downloaded the rom from. There is a patch for this.
[Captivate General] M973:
flashed back to stock with odin3 one click, completed, then chose master clear, said "started...", but wasn't sure if I was supposed to be in download mode, so am back in download mode now, but seems odin isn't seeing it. I presume I don't want to unplug or anything while it's in download mode? Apparently a noob here, any help appreciated, thanks!
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:

repeat back what it says under How to use Master Clear.....

read it out loud 5 or 6 times until it becomes clear.....
[Captivate General] M973:
guess I forgot to go back in after it rebooted to select usb debugging to master clear? So is it safe to get out of download mode while it's in download mode? sorry, got a bit confused -thanks

Just concerned now about how to get out of download mode, if it's ok to unplug to reboot, thanks.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
pull the battery and put it back in or hold down the power button for 10 seconds

you are NOT supposed to be in download mode for master clear to work, and you DONT need to do a master clear to swap roms
[Captivate General] M973:
will do, thanks. Was debating the master clear, as it wasn't mandatory, but saw many people posted they liked to to give it a clean slate

"pull the battery and put it back in or hold down the power button for 10 seconds"

while still plugged into the usb? (as neither does it) didn't know if it's okay to disconnect the plug while in download, thanks
[Captivate General] M973:
sorry to ask again, just don't want to mess up.

Is it with the usb unplugged that I remove the battery or hold the power button for 10 seconds? (didn't want to disconnect the usb unless it's safe)

Thanks
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
it doesnt matter. pull the plug and take out the battery....put it back in and boot it up
[Captivate General] M973:
Thanks, appreciate you helping me out.

[Optimus 7 General] Ogner:
Was watching the mobileburn review on YouTube. Also read a couple of reviews which mentioned the Optimus 7 has a poor speaker. What is it like on 30 on speakerphone or watching YouTube. Is it really terrible.

Also what is the earpiece like. Can you hear the other caller nice and clear?

I like alot of things about the O7 such as:

- 16GB nand storage

- Aluminium battery cover

- 1500mAh battery

- Gorilla glass screen

- Mechanical buttons that you press down.
[Optimus 7 General] Arktronic:
The speaker certainly works, but it's no HTC Surround. I have no problems watching YouTube on it, though I don't do that very often. I agree with you on all the pros you mentioned, especially the first two - NAND storage is way faster than microSD, and the battery cover feels really freaking solid. Great device.
[Optimus 7 General] Ogner:
I also really like mechanical buttons rather than touch buttons. But this speaker thing worries me.

I went into a Vodafone shop yesterday in Welwyn Garden City. No demo unit. They had one in the Orange shop. But the SIM was not enabled. So no browsing or calling, YouTube or even a video or music sample.
[Optimus 7 General] Arktronic:
Maybe they could have connected it to their WiFi?
[Optimus 7 General] Ogner:
You know how useless these franchise shops are. I said the same thing. The youth said "The Wifi is not working". They should have a decent Billion or Cisco router out the back. Of course, they just use the ISP supplied rubbish. Little things like this annoy me. I mean the rent and rates in a shopping centre for that unit must be at least £1,000/week. Then there are the costs of fitting the shop. And employing these highly skilled, motivated, intelligent shop assistants. And they can't even let me access the internet on one of their flagship phones.
[Optimus 7 General] L-Dani:
My speaker is only scratching when it's on the highest Volume 30, when I'm on Volume 27 it is totally okay. It's still pretty loud and sounds good.

So go get the Optimus 7 it's a really great device! :D

The only thing that bothers me is the camera which is not too good. Pics are pretty blurry but Videos are good.

But overall i'm very happy and satisfied with it! :)
[Optimus 7 General] TheOnly1:
Speaker is OK. Camera is nothing special but on par with HTC offerings. The only thing that bothers me about the O7 is that TouchXplorer is not working and that there is no decent file manager in general, thus making backup of saved games and deployment of Navigon maps a real pain:mad:.

Otherwise a great device. It's my secondary phone (the primary is the Leo Uberphone:p) and I'm pretty happy with it.

VERY curious as to why I'm getting 4+ down on speakeasy and 1.5 on speedtest.net. Running again to verifiy:

*Ran both directly from the phone 2x*

speetest.net downloads: 0.54 - 0.70

Hmm....
[Atrix 4G General] aszrael1266:

speed test app shows 4.23 down and 0.32 up
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
Not only am I disappointed, I'm confused at the inconsistency.
[Atrix 4G General] aszrael1266:
if its any help when I had my Iphone and the speed test app it had a little graph that shows your speeds as the test is running. I would always see my Iphone spike right from the start at a high speed then fall and work its way back up to a lower speed then the first spike. Maybe the same thing is happening here but the test is so fast on speak easy it doesn't give the phone a chance to drop off that first spike. Where with speed test the test it self is a lot longer so I think it would better reflect an accurate rating.
[Atrix 4G General] MarcMaiden:
right behind the stoneridge mall in pleasanton i get about 4.5-5 mbps down
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
I was almost certain HSPA+ wasn't in my area yet, so it makes more sense that the 1.5 im getting is accurate. but but now I don't know. it bothers me that the other poster is able to get the same speeds on both tests.

[Atrix 4G General] aszrael1266:
Hsupa+ is not enabled on our phones yet so once that firmware update goes out those in the "4g" areas should see a speed increase. I know their map shows me as being in a 4g area and I am wondering what kind of speed increase I will be seeing.

One thing to note is that the Speedtest app uses your location data to pick the closest server. Sometimes that location data is off or inaccurate and it picks some test server on the other side of the country.
[Atrix 4G General] plasticglock:
Sometimes the speedtest.net app shows my phone at less than .50 down. Then wait a few minutes and then try some more it goes up. The highest I have seen is about 3.0 down. I am "supposed" to be in a live 4g area, but under "about phone/status" it always shows HSDPA.

I'm in the east bay (Fremont) and get around 4Mbps down and 1.2MBPs up - Oh, wait - I'm on a Samsung Captivate (with Paragon RC6, so HSUPA is enabled) -- how can that be? Stupid AT&T non 4G.

Tried the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt. I didn't use speed test. I have a server at a datacenter on 1GBps connection (I work for a CDN) and timed a download of a 100 MB file and upload of a 100MB file. I got 10Mbps down and 15Mbps up (I checked the numbers 3 times). Verizon's LTE network kicks the pants off AT&T. I hope AT&T gets their **** together soon. I'd rather not switch.
