I'm still losing connection a lot on this rom. Especially when downloading or updating apps. But I can't bear to go to anything else. It's too perfect. Just updated to 1.7. Not sure what else I can try that I haven't already.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] [SP]JESTER:
Idk wats causing it then. I didnt toich framework at all since 1.1. Just rom fixes. Data should still be the same. Keep ur hopes up
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gobraves00:
You try different radios?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] bagery77:
Yes, I have tried a few.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] [SP]JESTER:
any new update on this
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jackmei2:
could be vzw's crappy 4G service... I've been losing connection on a few different roms, regardless of which radio I try.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bagery77:
This would be my top choice if it weren't happening every time I updated apps. You think Verizon could be behind it even after that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jackmei2:
are you fine on other roms? I thought about flashing back to stock myself just to see if I still have problems with the connection, but lots of people are reporting issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bagery77:
Hmm, I haven't been on another rom in a while. Suppose I could try a few when I'm off next week to investigate. Not sure about stock though as there was an in call bug Verizon couldn't seem to fix for me where people couldn't hear me. Verizon would rather ship me phone after phone with the same software bug. So stock is not an option. But I can try some other roms. Thank-you for the suggestion.

Hey jester. How do I go about changing the 3G, 4G, & signal bars in this Rom?? I was wanting to replace them with something like the touchwizzedb theme for cm 7. Is it possible? Just curious. Thank you

[HD2 General] LexHammer:
Hello,

i cracked my HD2 screen (digitizer), i purchased new one, but the cracked one was working and i was not in a hurry to change it. After a minor drop, the LCD touch screen cracked under the cracked digitizer and now i have black screen...

Now also i have to purchase LCD screen, but i saw that there is ready to use screen+digitizer(and of course more expensive than screen and digitizer alone) .

My question is - what will be easier to change - ready to use digitizer + screen, screen and digitizer alone or there is no difference. I'm asking this, because I'm wondering should i sell the digitizer (if i can) and buy the ready to use screen+digitizer, or to purchase the screen and to use it with the already received digitizer.
[HD2 General] whycali:
If you can afford it you have to go with the all in one. Too much can go wrong during assembly and you should avoid it if you can.
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
yup, separating and installing them separately is a pain in the arse, its always better to do it in the one job if you can afford the initial high cost. My LCD panel needs replaced due to light bleeding, but I cant be arsed, the digitiser is likely to fail in the future anyway being an HD2 so ill wait and just do the two of them together.
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
OK, thank you.

I've watched 2 or 3 "how to change digitizer" videos. Is there a video for changing the lcd+digitizer or its the same as the digitizer change? I have to disassemble the whole phone to change the digitizer...
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
there is a vid somewhere, ill have a look later, but essentially yes. you need to remove the whole lot, the only difference between doing them both and doing them separately is that the two panels are stuck to each other, and its that process of separating or putting back together that's really tricky and people have ended up damaging one or the other trying it.
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
What about the difference in the EU and T-Mobile versions, like in the digitizer (soldering and insertion) Is there a difference too, if i take the whole "pack" (LCD + Digitizer) and what should i look for if there is a difference?
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
If you buy combo(LCD+digitizer) there's no problem to replace it to whatever version of HD2 you own: combo is interchangeable on both versions!
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
OK, Thank you!

I'm asking because i asked some buyers on ebay, and they told me "Sorry, my friend, but this is for T-mobile version":) But on the pictures, they are all the same.
[HD2 General] hengsheng120:
I had my EU hd2 digitizer changed too when it was broken, and when it was changed to a tmous replacement, they couldn't get the promixity sensor working.

Now I dunno if that's a defect from the screen or because it's a incompatility problem, but a further gsensor-working-in-wm6-but-not-in-android-problem in my other replacement mashup hd2 hybrid EUTMOUS frankenstein phone suggests that some parts may not be interchangeable.

You should just make sure that it's a EU digitizer so you won't run into further problems.
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
But on a already assembled combo pack (LCD + digitizer) how to know if the digitizer is EU version, beside the T-mobile logo.
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
I doubt it's a relationship between digitizer and g-sensor/proximity sensor...

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

There's no way to figure out this...
[HD2 General] hengsheng120:
Let me clarify that; my hd2 EU first had its digitizer+LCD replaced with a TMOUS version, and the proximity sensor stopped working,

then the the mobo was replaced by a tmous mobo in the same EU housing and the accelerometer and magnetometer does not work properly (accelerometer works in wm6.5 but not android), but the proximity sensor worked.

It's not just me having a hardware replacement problem, there's a significant amount of posts by other users about replacement parts not working properly. So everyone should be at least very cautious about using them because replacing with other parts may cause other problems.
[HD2 General] rajalm29:
my buddys HD2's touch screen suddenly stopped working.

he gave me the phone for $50.

i guess ima have to do lil work
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
I need some help with choosing the combo

Which one should i take and why on one the second item there are those big cable-like things.

N1 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-and-DIG...ccessories&hash=item43adebdc7d#ht_3076wt_1110

N2 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-lcd-Tou...ltDomain_0&hash=item3a67e44659#ht_2175wt_1344

Will i need to solder them together or they are already soldered (welded junction or whatever)

Thank you!
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
Anybody?
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Both versions are OK, but I would choose the first one.

There's no need for soldering(vers. 2): it's more like a packaging thing in order to get it mounted on chassis.
[HD2 General] dertester123:
I guess its because you/they lost the little glasses that connect the display and the sensor.

Its easy to loose them as they fall out after you take the screen from the housing.

I lost them a few seconds ago and think that i know what wont work when i reassemble :rolleyes:

@topic

there is generally no problem removing display from touchscrren. just make it hot with a fan or oven ~80°C is okay. and with a flat knive or iron-wire go for the glue.

If you do this you need new glue-tape. Mostly you get this from china very cheap but takes a while.

If your screen is broken now i would recommend to take a combi pack as you have no glueing, no alignment problems and so on.

its not very hard but kills some time and nerves ;D
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
OK, so lets do a round up, before i make the purcahse, so I'm sure i will make the right choice.

I'm going to buy this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-and-DIG...ccessories&hash=item43adebdc7d#ht_3076wt_1110

because its already assembled and much easier to use and IT WILL FIX on my EU version of the phone (Not US T-Mobile)

Only YES or NO will be enough :)
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
YES;)
[HD2 General] dertester123:
The Eu-HD2 is soldered isnt it? This version, from the picture, is the pluged version....

Im not sure because if you change the display also the connector type could be irrelevant.

But if this is the screen from Tmous-HD2, i remember that it was a bit bigger? Is it just the housing or also the display?

=>

Dont buy before this is clear!

(i would open my hd2, look what connector type is inside and buy that one just to be sure...)

And some advise: Try to glue the flex cable from the touchscreen(the one that goes under the end call button reallly close to the display)

This could help to improve the life-span of the cable as its not flexed every time you push the button(try when you hold it in your hands by putting the buttons in the frame and push it, if it flexes the cable fix that!!!)

Otherwise the cable will break one day and the wires will disconnect=> typical problem of not responding touchscreen
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
As we speak about combo(lcd +digitizer/touchscreen), I stated this very clear:

No matter what version of combo can be mounted on no matter what version of HD2 because geometrically they are the same and connector to motherboard is the same!

Just the housing&motherboard of the 2 versions of HD2 are different:

1. US version's housing is longer by 2,5mm.

2. motherboards are different in shape & hardware.

Howgh!
[HD2 General] dertester123:
Thx for making this (very) clear :)

Learned something new here too.

I just wanted to make sure that you havent overlooked this.
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
Thank you very much for your answers. I will buy it today and will tell you the result after about 2 weeks :)
[HD2 General] dertester123:
Practically its pretty easy. I remember the first time it took me about 2hours and as i did it a few days ago it was disassemble in less than 10 minutes.:D

Make sure when you use a knive or something to get the display/digitizer unit off the mainboard frame that you dont go too deep and cut some of the flex cables.

Not sure if i said before, but look if the buttons are flexing the digitzer cable. (under the end button).

If you find a solution to stop this, you can improve durability of the digitizer greatly.

Due to the flexing the cable can break and the wires get disconnected. So you get the well known end button behaviour that touchscreen isnt working anymore.

I for myself will try to put some glue under the flex cable and clue it at the display, so that its not pushing against the buttons... Maby that will help..

Maby this helps:
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
OK, thanks for the tips.

Is there a video for how to change the touch screen + digitizer (not only the digitizer) or its the same as the digitizer change, without the separation of the lcd and digitizer?
[HD2 General] dertester123:
Its pretty much the same.

You take the screen an digitizer off the mainboard as one part. If you have a bundle just replace both at once.

Here are some good videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cL-jnUKufC4

I think you dont have to disassemble all these parts.

Generally you loosen the 4 screws, take out the mainboard with all parts,

dissconnect the cable from buttons and display and use a wire/flat tool to disconnect the screen from the cage where everything is glued on with double side tape.

then you reconnect cables from new screen, press it on the cage in perfect position with fresh tape, click cage in housing, 4 screws and done.

in the video you can skip 1:30-1:40,

loosen the mainboard screws

skip 1:45 -2:55

loosen the button connector

Skip then untill 4.44 thats the display connector.

If you skipped everything you cant lay it like in the video. But if you remove the display as shown later in the video there is a small gap that allows you to remove this cable.

You save much time by doing it this way. also i found it hard the first time to remove all parts, especially the rigid-flex board as its glued and never will fit perfectly again ;D

Its maby a bit trick to release the display cable and reconnect it between the gap but i would try.

ANOTHER HINT:

There are small glass parts that connect the sensors for light / proximity with the glass..

Dont loose them ;D
[HD2 General] LexHammer:
Thank you for the guide!
[HD2 General] robcodemax:
I replaced my touch digitizer but the touch is still not working...?

any ideas why...????
[HD2 General] dertester123:
Probably you´ve done it wrong?:confused:

No serious, if you had to solder, did you check if you didnt solder more connections together?

Did you use tape to isolate all the open connections?

The touchscreen presses on the metal housing(the cage) and shorts the contacts maby?

If you bent your cables to much while repairing you probably broke the wires.

Thats very hard to see and happend me too ... very upsetting.

====

Another tip:

Be very carefull with the flexible cables, as said their wires break very easily even if the cable is optically fine. You can use a multimeter and two needles to check them.

Be very carefull with the buttons, especially volume ones. Dont remove the black mylar(tape). There is only a peace of metal on to contacts that is held by a thin tape. If this falls of once you can forget to get them back together easily. => Need new rigid flex board too (~25€)...

=>Very problematic when you clip the button board in the housing it could happen you remove the tape accidentially at the corners. Be carefull.
[HD2 General] Kenneth914:
the whole pack is easy to change if u can get one
[HD2 General] heavy_metal_man:
hey guys, sorry to bring up an old post but looking for some reassurance :) i have a EU hd2 and im looking at buying a combo job. is this the one for me? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221058189049#ht_1316wt_1207

thanks guys!!
[HD2 General] dertester123:
If you take a combo you can take them all.

Only if you change only the digitizer you have to watch if its soldered or plugged to the screen. The digizier and displaycable then go together in a new cable that is always the same.

So I've been trying to install KingCobra3D for the past few hours

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647674

Everytime I try to reinstall it, I get stuck on the HTC screen. I had to restore my phone in Nandroid to be able to use it. For some info, my phone is unlocked using HBOOT-1.49.0011, S-ON, and I'm using 4EXT recovery to install the ROM.

Is there any app on the setting that I have to uncheck or are there any other ways in which I can make it work?

EDIT:

Also tried this ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468960&page=3

Same result.

What could be the problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nathanation:
S-On is your problem I think. Basically most roms "install instructions" presume you are s-off unlocked, and s-off methods of flashing a Rom do not work for s-on users.

I'm s-off myself so haven't personally flashed a Rom on to an s-on phone but I think you need to use flashimage.GUI.

Thanks to Dr. Ketan, I tried the other method that gives a stock LPY root permissions without adding CWM. so ill have to flash that manually whenever i see custom roms or need a backup.

But for the moment the objective has been met... rooted to use titanum backup, SetCPU and Adfree... works for me.

with SetCPU i am able to address my battery drain to quite an extent..atleast the standby has gone up tremendoously compared to the first 2-3 hrs before SetCPU install.

never flashed cf_root in the first place, what does it even do?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barracuda77777:
well, I just got rid of cf rooted kernel,

my flashing history is as follows:

Updated the note when I bought it 4 weeks ago with OTA to LC1

then rooted phone using abyss Kernel using abyss 4.2 and ended up with root

and a yellow triangle and flash count 1.

I used the note with LC1 for 2 weeks, then flashed Cyanogen 9 V3 -V7.

while I was on Cyanogen, I purchased Triangle away and worked like a charm resitting the flash count back to Zero and got rid of the yellow triangle.

when official ICS was released, I purchased mobile Odin and flashed with keeping root to ICS LPY.

then did a Wipe to data and delvick Cache using stock rom manager with no problems.

after that I restored all my apps using titanium back up.

then using Mobile Odin I flashed CF LPY kernel.

did couple backups but never restored. then horror stories started emerging and scared the hell out of me, so I have been contemplating getting rid of CF kernel ever since.

I took the plunge 10 minutes ago with total success.

here is what I did:

I unfroze all system apps that I have frozen.

Made sure that there was no apps were running.

put the phone into airplane mode and no wifi.

flashed the official LPY rom on top of the old keeping everything ticked.

all went well and took around 2 minutes.

Now I have official kernel with ever root, still being able to use titanium backup to freeze and back up my apps and have no adds running.

Hope this help someone who is worried for having the CF LPY kernel.

Cheers
