I would recommend installing a few different roms (that are known to work with wifi) and see if anything changes/improves.

If nothing improves, maybe flash back to winmo 6.5 and see if wifi improves.

If nothing improves then, you may have damaged your wifi antennae when you dropped it :( then hit up T-mobile!

Best of luck mate.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Possibly knocked the wifi coax loose from the mainboard. It's pretty easy to open up an HD2 and reattach that cable, I've had mine come loose before and that's what I had to do.

I'd definitely try the steps in the above post first just to make sure it's not a rom or kernel specific issue. And if it's still under warranty, don't bother taking it apart and ruining your warranty, obviously just return it to t-Mobile.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tr1pperz:
hey can you explain in more detail how to push back the wifi coax cable your talking about
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Remove the battery cover, battery, sim card, and sd card.

Remove the 4 torx screws that are under little round stickers under the battery cover.

Using an old credit card or a plastic knife, slide between the screen and the housing to release the little plastic clips one by one which hold the housing to the phone's chassis.

Take your time and be careful not to scratch the housing or stick the card/knife in too far, damaging the fragile stuff inside,

It helps to put a little pressure on the back side of the screen wth your thumb while orying with the credit card (back of screen under battery)

The wifi coaxial cable runs from one corner of the mainboard, up along one side of the chassis, is taped together with some other wires, and leads to another small board up near the top of the phone.

Check the connections at both ends, making sure they are connected firmly and are in straight.

You might want to unplug them, just to be sure and hear/feel them click into place.

Take your time, set yourself aside a nice little workspace, and if you are unsure of anything, don't hesitate to come back here and ask.

There is a disassembly video here in the HD2 section somewhere, I think it's in HD2 General. It'd be worth it to search for it and watch at least the first part of the video, just to get an idea what you're dealing with. It's not a very hard job, it should take you like maybe an hour/hour and a half start to finish.

This will void your warranty permanently though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tr1pperz:
Oh and when a call is being placed or recieved the screen automatically turns off and it becomes non responsive i.e if i take my phone off the ear and want to put it on hold the screen is still black instead of turning back on
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
The screen going black during a call is a pretty common problem with the HD2, and is likely not related to disassembling your phone as long as the screen functions normally otherwise. Since you didn't take your phone far enough apart to affect the light/proximity sensor, I can't imagine how disassembly would have affected it. You would have to take the mainboard and screen out from the chassis to get to that sensor.

The volume problem on the other hand, is probably due to either your volume rocker not being placed correctly during re-assembly, or the speaker contacts not being aligned properly. You'll have to take it back apart and ivestigate what went wrong.

Try going into Settings/Sound, and checking that the volume is not turned all the way down. If the volume is not all the way down, then you should be able to hear sound, so your speaker is probably not aligned properly.

Does your volume rocker feel different than before? If it doesn't make a definite 'click' when you press it, then it is probably slightly out of place. Also look for any wires that could have been pinched and damaged when you snapped your phone back together.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tr1pperz:
What is a volume rocker? When i start the phone it usually vibrates once then goes through the starting procoess. Now it doesn't vibrate at all. Phone turns on and i click the volume button up and nothing happens. I checked settings and everything is up

I have the phone opened as we speak and the reciever cable is connected and the vibrator cable is connected too. I tried to use tweezers to see if i can unhook it but their on too tight so thats a good thing. The two orange dots on the volume thing.. the bottom on was slightly off so i put i centered it

Still nothing works. no vibrating no sound ( the person on the other line can hear me but i can't hear anything) but the phone works great.

Im so confused
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
The volume rocker is the button that 'rocks' back and forth to control the volume.

It has to be positioned right in order to push the contacts that lie beneath it.

Since your phone's apart right now, what happens when you hold the battery in it with one hand, boot it up, and press the volume button contacts manually? If they buttons themselves do nothing, then it must be that they lost their connection somewhere, you'd have to trace the wires and figure out where they're not connected. If they do work, then the volume rocker was just misaligned.

As for the speaker, it has to be that it is not contacting the two little contacts correctly. Look at the speaker and make sure it is sitting correctly in the housing, and look ffor any obstructions near the vibrator motor.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tr1pperz:
No i can't press down on the volume button ever since i opened it it hasn't fit back right. Doesn't make a click sound

and what contacts on the speaker should i be looking for? are they under the speaker itself? should i remove the speaker? Theres no destruction on the vibrator its looks though like its sitting kinda tight between that camera flash being there..the metal spinning thing on the end of it can spin 360 so nothing its preventing it from moving.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tr1pperz:
I also can use my headset and the sound and call works fine besides the going to the black screen and not responding. i also noticed my camera does not load up either. but that could probably be solved with a clean install of gingerbread nand rom
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mycale:
Hello there everybody

Nice to meet you all :)

I come before you with a grave problem: Is there another way to install apps on a rooted kindle outside the US? For sideloading, you need a free app from the Amazon App Store, which, I had to find out, was not available outside the US.

In retrospect, it was quite a stupid thing to buy the device. Lesson learned.

But maybe you might know a way? (I can't install the google market without a file explorer)

Thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bikkou:
I contacted Unblock-Us and they told me they are working on supporting the Amazon App Store. If they do, then it's just a matter of setting your router's DNS according to what they give you and it'll be possible. They have a week of free trial which is enough to download the file explorer you want.

Outside of that, I'm in the same problem. The second option would be to have someone in America register a dummy Amazon account onto his Kindle Fire, click "buy" on the free file explorer app, then de-register, and when you register your own Kindle Fire to the same account, you could sync the app with your kindle. As far as I know, Amazon still allows syncing your bought content into the device even outside the US (I never tested this though).

If anyone can please volunteer to try the second option that would be awesome. Till then we need to wait for Unblock-Us.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bikkou:
I don't really see anywhere in that thread where you can sideload apps without the ES Explorer or some other sort of app.. we can't download apps at all.

Another thread on that site says that you can install apps as long as you have a US account on Amazon.. which is not true. I have an account with a US address, US credit card and US location for the kindle and it says my location is not the US on the Fire, meaning it tracks IP.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MacaronyMax:
Could adb be used, So download ES to the PC and use adb install ? That should work fine :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shftup:
or get the ES apk file from google, upload to dropbox, access dropbox from fire, it will automatically install it for u.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bikkou:
Wait.. you can just download APK files and install it? Is it really that easy?

All the guides said you need ES Explorer which is what was so misleading. There's no issue here at all and you don't need an explorer for anything, just Google.

Had you tried using a proxy? is this even posible? (to use a proxy I mean).

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IdrisBengoch:
MacaronyMax - my hero

Just a little detail on what got my file explorer working in the UK:

Downloaded the needed apk file (don't ask - probably a really dodgy source). I copied it into my Program Files\Androidzandroid-sdk\platform-tools folder (for ease of install).

Then installing was as easy as "adb install *****.apk" (enter your filename).

Complete success, and now with my root file manager I can now do all the other things.

I'm one who has an american amazon account with bank account and everything. Seems as if some geo-ip mapping is stopping purchases from outside america, even on US devices.

Hope this helps.

You don't need additional apps to install APK files

Hey bikkou, that's right, you don't need additional apps to install APK files on your Kindle Fire. I agree, all threads out there seem misleading in this point.

I emailed myself an APK file, accessed my email account with the built in browser, downloaded the file, and then, when I tapped the file (which was listed in the downloads section) the device offered me the option to install the application.

My wife is playing Angry Birds Rio on my Kindle Fire right now :D

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xAnimal5:
I gave the protector 48 hours for all the lines and bubbles to clear out, the indents are still there and the S-pen causes indents on the screen protector.

The protector was not designed for finger-use either. Even the slightest pressure causes a new indent that doesn't go away. It looks very very bad and I don't want anyone else to give Skinomi money.

It also attracts a LOT of fingerprints.

It was $8, but still...

Even the ones on ebay are better than this piece of garbage.

This was my first time buying a skinomi and never buying another one again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] HTC Chris:
I got mine installed yesterday and have the same issue on a couple small areas. It was from installing it on the phone. I don't use the S pen, which looks like it can cause indents.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] fosselman:
They suck. As soon as my martin fields come in I am sending it back. I was doing a sketch on my phone and now there are lines all over the protector. Never had this problem with screen protectors on my old windows mobile phones using a stylus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Techvir:

Will order once reviews of martin fields are out. They used to be really good ones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] xAnimal5:

I'm gonna go get a Steinheil Ultra Fine protector

I've used Steinheil before and the only problem with their 2 regular ones is that a lot of finger prints show up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] destromas:
I learned my lesson from Skinomi about half a year ago with the SGS2. They make a cheap knockoff of Zaggs, and Zagg wasn't even that good for the SGS2. I had issues with dust sticking to the outside of the SKinomi. I tried a cleaning cloth, and it worked until there were indents in the screen, so then I tried alcohol wipes, and it burned through the screen protector. I'll dump megabucks on SGP protectors any day of the week now that I've gone through hell with Zagg and Skinomi.

I also contacted Skinomi about how crappy their product was. They sent a replacement. Then I told them about the crappy alcohol experience. They sent another one. I put these screen protectors in the trash. I saved the spray, I love that stuff.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] templon:
Hi, I am not a noob, but my phone seems to be malfunctioning. Specifically it is having this problem:

My Incredible is running CM7 with ClockwordMod and was having many force close problems and the only solution seemed to be to do a factory reset or try getting a backup from recovery. When I tried recovery however, the phone got stuck on the HTC Incredible white screen and never did anything else. I took out the battery and tried factory reset, this produced the same result. I tried starting up the phone at that point again and when it got to the skateboarding android splash screen, it kept freezing and starting the animation over again. I am fine just doing a wipe through the USB if that's possible but I don't know how that is done. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have tried to flash CWM Recovery using the SDK, but it unfortunately has been giving me a different error, and it won't let me. I am wondering if my phone is dead, and there is no chance of bringing it back.

Currently using an OG Droid that I had as a back-up and wait for the Galaxy Nexus to come out.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Your phone is probably fine. Just the recovery needs reflashing.

Go to PvilleComp's site and download a recovery flashable from HBOOT (PB31IMG.zip method). Just boot into HBOOT with the file on the root of the SD card, and it recovery should work again.

Then when it vibrates let go of all 3 and bang ur in recovery once ur in wipe data wipe cache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik then reboot if all else fails i would throw zedomaxs unroot back to stock zip on phone then wipe data, cache, and dalvik and flash that then start root process over

Now if u dont feel like takin sd out just hook phone up to computer two boxes will pop up it will be the one with less contents that u dont use. So transfer root zip onto ur internal ir will have a long list of contents when hooked up to ur computer then after that just flash root again this time go to flash from "choose zip from internal" in recovery. and u should be good

I know with slayhers metgod of recovery u didnt need to have root to backup. If u dont have a backup then i guess ur other option is the zedomax zip i suggested a few posts back.
