If you notice on my post I am having the same problem. it seems no others are though.. I JUST got this phone, as my other HD7 was a defect. i wouldnt send it back cause I had to wait a month to recieve mine. This is what HTC sent me..
[HD7 General] unique77:
Awful

That's awful. I don't know what to say..... Are we just stuck with it then, should we update with the chevron updater? Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will comment on the issue. Updates with service providers involved drives me f'in nuts. I literally just got this phone 2 days ago, alarm freezes the phone the first time i use it, not to mention it was barely audible. I'm upset, no one seems to have a clue how to go about this.
[HD7 General] stratax:
I havent had a problem with the alarm clock. woke me up this morning fine, no freeze. Reset the phone, or turn it off and take the battery out for 15 seconds and see if it changes. Also i wouldnt use the chevron updater microsoft says it cripples your phone so it wont update anymore. well, thats what i read.. The only issue i am having with my phone is how hot it gets while gaming, or if wifi is on. im afraid it will fry the motorboard since phones dont have fans. and the whole "text error" every often.
[HD7 General] unique77:
Problems

That's an interesting problem you have there. I don't think you should worry about the heat, they can get real hot without causing any damage. I'm exchanging mine with t-mobile... hopefully I don't go 4 phones down the road with this one like some of the horror stories I've read. If you let the alarm go off, it doesn't always freeze the phone, sometimes another alarm just shows up and plays at the same time, or the audio cuts in and out if you let it go off for an extended period of time.

Still haven't received this...still using original firmware. Any other T-Mobile US users get it?

Having 3g issues

Hey all, I am pretty new to the whole smart phone thing. I decided to go ahead and get an HD7 yesterday and I am now having issues connecting to any services via 3G. When I have a WiFi connection available everthing works fine. My plan alots for it, I have NoDo installed, but I haven't recieved any updates from HTC. I can try once more when I get home, but the phone is useless if I can't use these services on the go. Should I wait for an update or should I exchange the phone for another one?

I'm on TMOUS and have Radio Software version 5.51T.09.29a_22.32.50.10U which I flashed using this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960904

Other than the original, this is the only TMOUS 531 Rom that I have seen on xda.

I then updated to 1008 and Nodo using Zune. I App Unlocked the phone first before upgrading to Nodo.

I do get an occasional phone freeze... but I think it's more once a week or other week deal. I don't remember alarm freezing the phone... it's set to go off every morning M-F.

3G: Radio signal and 3G have been worst for me on this phone as well when I'm at home. If you're in a weak 3G signal area, this phone will be in and out of 3G a lot...
[HD7 General] tonarm:
Try the "connection configurator" in the marketplace in the HTC-Category (don´t know the exact english phrase since my phone is set to german). Then configure your phone with its help to your provider. Had the same problem in Germany with my O2-branded device which I am using in the "simyo"-Network. Hope that does the job :-)

There is new update available via Zune. It is ending with 7392.0 and Zune offers the availibility to roll back the update in case there is something wrong with it later on.

Hi Guys,

Just windering if anyone is waiting for the Replacement Unit. I have been waiting for y Unit since January 18th,2011 and so far Dell Support have no idea to resolve the issue.

The have order the Exchange for more then 10 Times and when i call back to check the status their system shows its pending.

I just kind of shocking how Dell Support works, I work myself in the support and Customer Satisfaction is always first priority but i guess in Dell Books you buy something from them and you are on your own.

Is anyone out there having the same problem i do. Please share your thoughts and let me know if there is any tricks to get the Bloody Support send me a Device.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asianftw:
I take you already have an order #?

you can check your status online here

https://support.dell.com/support/order/GlobalOrderHome.aspx?c=ca&cs=cadhs1&l=en&s=dhs

What I will do next is call Dell mobility directly and ask to talk to a supervisor right away. Tell him/her that you've been waiting for your replacement unit for 3 months and you demand a next day shipping or you take them to a small court claim
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umar.ranjha:
Do you think i have not done that already??

In three months i was told several different case numbers and plenty of dispatch numbers. I guess my Issue will be the longest in the Dell Streak support when it comes to read and follow up.

One thing i dont understand about Dell Support is:

" Sir i know it's been Delayed and i apologized for the inconvinience"

Well screw you Mr. Manager put yourself in my pants and tell me how it feels.

Finally send it to unresolved customer support i am 100% sure they are not going to do ****. But lets wait and see......

[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Big thanks to all of the devs that have created these fine pieces of work for us.

OK, because I everyone is getting so confused about kernels and Clockworkmod recovery, please read this.

ROM Manager is not built to work with the Mesmerize or the Showcase.

***STOP TRYING TO USE IT AND COMPLAINING THAT IT DOESN'T WORK***

At this point in time there are several kernels that have been built by the guys in the Fascinate forum. All of these kernels have been built from the same source worked up by jt1134. All of these kernels actually work for all three phones. So yes, they will actually work on your Mesmerize/Showcase. To install one of these kernels you need to have a working recovery. This means you don't flash it in Odin, but from your sdcard in recovery.

In this thread is a working modified Clockworkmod recovery that is also built to work with all three phones. To flash it, you would either need a recovery that allows you to flash a zip file, or you can flash the tar file in Odin. If you have a recovery that goes straight to red recovery, you don't necessarily need this. If you have to apply update.zip from blue recovery to get to red recovery, or if you don't have red recovery at all, this is for you.

It does not require ROM Manager to work. All you have to do is boot into recovery, either by adb (reboot recovery) or by three button method (power off, then hold power and volume up/down until you see samsung, then switch to power and volume down).

Once in recovery, use volume keys for up/down, and power for select. If you accidentally hit home, your screen will go black. Just hit home again to turn it back on. To flash something, you will select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard". Then you will find whatever it is that you want to flash and select it, confirm, and away you go. When done, use the menu key to back out to the main menu, and reboot. If you have multiple things to flash, you can do them all at once, usually with no need to reboot between flashing.

***IMPORTANT NOTE***

If you have a voodoo kernel installed, and you are going to do a backup, restore, or Odin flash you must disable lagfix before doing so. You can do this in recovery by selecting "voodoo" and then "disable lagfix", or you can use the voodoo control app from the market to disable lagfix.

Note that it is also good practice to disable lagfix when flashing ROMs and mods as well just in case something happens and you need to do a recovery or Odin flash. If this happens, it's not an easy process to recover from.

Hopefully this answers most of the questions that people have.

You will want the TouchWiz kernels NOT the AOSP kernels.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tublah:
I'm in the USA on AT&T. Where should I pre-order from? I had a pre-order in with Negri Online - but they raised their price to $795 today -- I was okay with $660 (with a coupon) but an increase of over $100 -- when nobody else is close to that price is insane.

Suggestions?

I've looked at Clove, MobileCityOnline, and HandTec. Am I missing anyone? Anyone worth a few extra bucks?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyGuard:

I got my 8gb i9000 on ebay for $550 brand new. This was back in August of 2010. I'm sure you can find a GSII for $600 on ebay once they are released.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
piggy backing on the USA thread, hope the OP does not mind :)

AT&T still has to release Samsung Infuse, there is no date even for that. They usually announce release dates 2 weeks in advance - is this correct? So Infuse is hitting the market closer to end of April or even later.

Then they would release SGS2 within 2 months or at the latest mid July, a year anniversary of SGS1? What sense does it make for AT&T to have two confusingly similar (to J6p) phones released so close to each other? Why would they infuse stock with the Infuse and make it difficult to captivate shelf space for the Captivate 2 a month or two later?

I am writing all this because I am suspecting Infuse would become SGS2, OR SGS2 will be pushed back to end of summer. Possible?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imbapanda:
I've been thinking along similar lines. I really dont know what purpose the Infuse would serve for them if they also have the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tublah:
I've been wondering if the Infuse 4G is actually AT&T's version of the Galaxy S II. Why else would they be so coy about not letting anyone touch it or interact with it at CES...then keep it behind glass under lock and key at CTIA.

Having said that -- I don't want AT&T's gimped version of the GSII, unless the price is REALLY right!

</ConspiracyTheory>
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imbapanda:
If it is at&t's version of the sgs2 it needs to come with some upgrades to what it's listed as now (processor, gingerbread). I don't really care about NFC though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
It very well could be although I doubt they will deviate away from the 4.3 in Screen.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i997_infuse_4g-3705.php

the Infuse is a single core A8 1.2 Ghz processor while we know that the SGS II will have a dual core. That is what the BIG-BANG from Samsung was all about... The screen and the processor.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchad14:
The infuse to me seems just a likely indication that it will be a while before you see SGSII released on AT&T. Same situation with Verizon and the Droid Charge due out any day now. Even if they do not localize versions of the SGSII like they did with SGS (And God I hope they don't, those alterations largely were just annoying), release across carriers won't be simultaneous.

So does that mean we can guess what order they will hit based on recent releases or lack thereof? If using that logic, Sprint-->T-mobile--> Verizon/AT&T

Sad for me as I'm on Verizon and want to get a 4G phone before unlimited dies...it's not looking likely I'll be able to wait for SGSII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:

Has anyone in the States received their British import yet?

Does anyone know the answer anyway?

Question is...

Can the British model of SGS2 be FULLY localized for American territory? Meaning units of measure, date formats, number formats, etc.

Also the Language and "Voice talk" features - can they be set to "American English"? If I make the phone read an email to me, would it do it with British accent? If I talk to "Voice Talk" with my Bronx accent , will the phone understend me well?

Does anyone know for sure?

You would let a complete stranger grope your sweet new phone? :)

Seriously, thanks for the offer! I would just be very thankful if you yourself report on these features once you get your phone. Hope you get it soon and with no issues!

I realize one could just pick US (English) vs US (British) in the core anrdoid settings. The phone could be shipped with voice recognition library and text-to-speech library only for the British, or the EU. So if you could get it a whirl and confirm it understands your English and does not speak to you with funny British accents, I would be very grateful :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
You just download Kies software to your computer, connect your phone, the software determines the model and downloads the right European update, and sends it to the phone.

If I order a UK version of the S II for use in the U.S. can I just drop an AT&T gophone SIM (using Smartphone plan with text & data package) and get the same call & data service as I would with a normal contract plan? Meaning basic phone service, text and full 3G data speeds (HSDPA).
