[HD2 General] Sui Generis:
When I talk on this phone, the sound is very poor... Although not too loud (like other complaints) but the sound crackles at high frequencies... The speakerphone is even worse...

Is anyone aware of some tweaks to improve communication sound on this phone?

Can AudioBooster be set up to work with the phone's sound not only the music player? Any other options ???

Thank you in advance.
[HD2 General] ~Johnny:
I think the high volume on this phone is artificially boosted over what it's meant to be, i.e. HTC have modified the audiopara (or something like that) in the Windows folder to try and boost the speakers sound over what it's meant to be.

(Something that ROM coookers figured out on the Diamond I think).

I think, maybe someone can reduce those values back to normal? The speaker will be a little quieter, but it won't crackle or distort as much.
[HD2 General] rahulelectra:
How big are these sound crackes...are these continous or at high volume ...
[HD2 General] trav_44:
hi

i have the same problem , maybe ill try lower the sound down a bit? or opfully there might be a patch to fix this ?

sound quality

same here the sound quality from both the earpiece and loudspeaker is very poor quality ihave had my phone replaced 3 times and its the same on all , very dissapointing on a phone of this quality bearing in mind its main function is as a phone !!
[HD2 General] Bonehead Fraggle:
Which radio do you recommend? I have Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2 and a terrible sound while on the phone.

Sound is to loud, impossible to lower volume enough. Much distortion even at lowest volume (which still is to loud). Bad sound in cable handsfree and BT handsfree.

Soundquality while playing music on the other hand is perfect in speaker, handsfree and BT handsfree.

Suggestions?
[HD2 General] Quelltextfabrik:
Since sound is often a pretty subjective matter, so I'd like to interject that the phone network only transmits from around 300 Hz to 3,000 Hz. Therefore the sound of a voice over your phone will never sound as clear and nice as it should, let alone like the 192 kbps-MP3-file you are playing :)

If it's worse compared to other phones however it's, as stated above, likely a problem with the radio. I use the 2.08.50.08_2 from [REF]The HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread and have a quite decent quality.
[HD2 General] Bonehead Fraggle:
I agree totally - if it sounds good or bad is individually. But, the sound quality in my HD2 is far worse than in my 5 years old SonyEricsson, and when I borrowed a Nokia the other day I was surprised how good (clear, crisp, distorsion free) a cell phone can sound.

I have a lot of distorsion and all too loud sound. Often I have to hold my phone 20 cm away from my ear just to avoid getting half deaf..

Thanks for the tip, I'll try the 2.08.50.08_2 Radio and hope for a better sound :-)
[HD2 General] Köttel:
you can try this hotfix...worked very well @my hd2

i got this from another forum.

little info: some users said that the soundlevel is now always set up to 100%...but try it on your own!
[HD2 General] Bonehead Fraggle:
Thanks, trying it now, will report back after tomorrow's hardcore testing at work..
[HD2 General] eenbox:
Return it if you can...

I had Nokia E71 before and it's speaker is fo another level better than HD2... BUT, question is: when I'm gonna use speakerphone on my HD2? :) ... almost never :)
[HD2 General] Bonehead Fraggle:
Seems better, but a little to subjective at the moment. Will keep trying and report back!
[HD2 General] Bonehead Fraggle:
Definitely better after the patch. Quite good actually. I have not seen any side effects yet, only clear sound, and better volume.

Thanks for the hotfix!

Will try it on my colleague's phone also now.
[HD2 General] zipolly:
sound quality

I used the hotfix as well but it appears to have made no difference whatsoever to the quality of sound during calls , so my phone is going back to htc again and if it returns with the same issues i will ask for a replacement as due to the ammoun of posts on here this is a major flaw in the phone and a highly irritating one too , i love this phone but the audio quality during calls is appalling in comparison to all my previous phones . :(
[HD2 General] Bonehead Fraggle:
After a couple more days of testing I found out that the patch gave no effect at all. BUT: I found out another thing: Even though the system volume is at lowest according to the meter, if you increase, you actually lower the volume. So, if you during a call first increase and then decrease the volume, it gets acceptable. Still to loud though.

So, it seems like what HTC really should do is to get the dialer use the sound mixer properly. Today it is obviously oversteering which creates distorsion.
[HD2 General] wmfreak:
this is a war we won't win

I've bought my HD2 back in Dec the 11th and since then I've been in contact with HTC about fixing this problem. They've given me a debug tool to run on my device, sent the logs twice and so far they've done nothing about it. I've given up. What I do for outgoing calls, while it rings I turn the volume all the way up and then all the way down before the other party answers. doing this you get a decent sound. Can't do much about the incoming calls,

As far as flashing different radios and roms... I've flashed about 30time already. tried all the possible radio/rom combinations but with only slight different results. Nothing to brag about!

the fix I attached helps a little bit!

If anybody finds and cure let us all know! please!!!!!
[HD2 General] dallasjim:
Thanks for the cab. It reduced the static.
[HD2 General] wozny87:
The same problem with sound quality after I made a phone call. The sound quality in my HD2 is far worse than my old Diamond.

I have Radio 2.12.50.02_2.

P.S. On shiped Rom didnt have this problem :(
[HD2 General] koolxx:
"often" is the operative word. static is a subjective matter. but it becomes a known fact when groups of people complain about the same thing.

not true.. i owned a razr and iphone years ago. the call quality is so good that static is non-existant on these phone. so, network configuration has NOTHING to do with it.

i've never tried this rario rom... but i'll give it a shot and decide for myself... just for the record, i got perfect hearing, and can detect distortion a mile away.
[HD2 General] LuSiD7:
I am on HD2O 2.00b ROM and some ringtones are coming out of the speaker crackling and with awful quality. Anybody knows a fix for this? Are you all guys (and girls, if any) having sound problems with the official ROM? If so, I think I am doomed...
[HD2 General] LuSiD7:
The best radio for the HD2 is the one suggested by almost everyone and that is the "2.15.50.14". It is the one that helps you do the camera trick for the battery life issue in WPH 7 also and has less battery consumption overall (this is my knowledge from what i read in the forums of XDA, maybe I am wrong)

But anyway i don't think the radio is the case anyway for the bad sound quality.

Anyone else can confirm this guys?
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
There is no 'best radio', it varies from place to place and device to device.
[HD2 General] Pezza4u:
I've tried a few of the free programs that backup your contacts but I want to edit them all on the computer so it's quicker. Any programs I can use...when I sync the phone it says I can only use outlook which I don't have.
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
This is a substitute method, but it would work. Set up an account with Microsoft's My Phone.

After you have synced, you can edit your contacts through the web page and sync again.

It is not as handy as a program running on your computer, but it should work. Anyway, it is a great way to back up the rest of your data on your phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yotamaster:
Heres my problem, I am using VITO SMS-Chat along with the WM screen lock, and whenever I recieve a SMS and use the lock to view the message (tapping on the lock which then opens up the slider for the message), both Vito and the stock SMS viewer open up simultaneously. Is there any way to disable the stock SMS viewer from opening right after a text comes in? I notice that if I wait a while after the text, I can use Vito just the way I like it without WM stock SMS viewer opening. I have searched and searched :confused:

Hello,

[HD2 General] Ad-james:
Try 'Mp4forHD'- just google search and it should be the first link.

Works like a treat and plays via HTC albums.
[HD2 General] jpopgt:
Thanks for the reply:)

I will check them out.
[HD2 General] Bimme:
HDencoder (you can get it here on xda-dev)

Originally designed for Touch HD, but still working outstanding.

The encoder is the same than MP4forHD, but the GUI is more simple.

Set bitrate to custom and encode with 1000kbit @ 800x480 for 720p or 1080p videos.

HD2 is capable of higher bitrates but HDencoder only support 1000kBit max...and the difference to higher bitrates is not really visible. Higher Bitrates causes only much bigger files and more battery drain....
[HD2 General] Gunzta:
Yes it can play back very high quality video perfectly. I have transcoded a 720p movie file down to the HD2's native resolution (800x480) and its looks absolutley stunning. Its fun to show your iPhone friends and watch their faces as they see just how stunning the screen looks displaying a proper native resolution image taken from a higher resoluution source... Simply stunning. :)
[HD2 General] jpopgt:
Thanks again for the replies!

I am can see some stunning video now.

Cheers.
[HD2 General] jpopgt:
Is this a different encoder from HTC Touch video converter 1.21?.......the bitrate can only be set to 999 max on this program.

I can't seem to find a program called HDencoder.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I strongly disagree. MP4ForHD will go up to 1600kb/s and the improvement in visual quality between that and something encoded at 1000kb/s is (to my eyes) dramatic, not subtle. If you watch some of the videos from this post (encoded at 2000kb/s and using CABAC) that's another quite visible step up in quality. Beyond 2000kb/s the benefits start to become a bit more ambiguous.

(The above assumes a good-quality, high-definition source, of course - lower bit-rates are quite adequate if you're converting something with <800x480 res, but your average xvid dvd rip plays quite happily in CorePlayer anyway, so there would be no need to convert it).
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Hey guys,

For some reason I believe the my email cache and downloaded messages are saved in the phone memory ?!

How can i change the storage location of my outlook mail ? as well as another email that I added (not outlook) ?
[HD2 General] mndl632:
if you are wanting to free up space by moving attachments you can move it to the storage card.

Start->Email->Highlight the outlook account->menu->options

then select the storage tab and check the box so that the phone will use the storage card for all attachments
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Thank you very very much :) :)
[HD2 General] fadge:
Move all to mem card

try this cab, I've used it on all my phones with no issues, BUT I dont have a HD2 as yet to confirm.

I have this installed as my first add on cab after a rom update.

Cheers
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
What does it do though ?
[HD2 General] fadge:
Moves all the messages etc onto mem card ie off the main memory.

Save space when like me I have 3 email accounts 6000+emails, plus some attachments, and if anyone asks yes it does take a while to resync after a flash..

cheers
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Thanks :D :D
[HD2 General] vdelab:
Hello all,

has any of you tried this?

As I have seen some issues with a folder Storage Card2 issue, I'd like a feedback on the Leo/HD2 before trying it...

Basically, I have one mail of 10Mo on the main memory of my phone, stored in the Windows\messaging.

I have gone in the mail menu, options and storage " use Strage card".

I have the folder now on the storage card Inbox.mstxxxxxx.yyyyyy

but nothing in yet...

ie it did not move the existing messages to it yet...

How and when is it supposed to do it?

Sincerely,

vdelab
[HD2 General] ctman:
+1 on this... would love to know
[HD2 General] ctman:
puahing it
[HD2 General] smuppy:
Ehum, I wouldnt be so sure. That cab adds/changes these two keys:

[HLKLM\System\Inbox\Settings]

AttachPath = "\Internal Storage\Messaging\Attachments"

PropertyPath = "\Internal Storage\Messaging"

Afaik, "Internal Storage" isnt mapped to the Storage Card in any way, at least not on the HD2? Has anyone tried this cab on the HD2? Might work if simply changed to "\Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments" and "\Storage Card\Messaging" respectively?
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
Use with caution

I would use this with extreme caution. All testing I have done on the HD2 (moving my mail files was one of the first things I tried when I got the device back in November) has suggested that the usual registry hack does not work and will merely create the Storage Card 2 issue. It's easy enough to sort out but it certainly won't move the mail files.

If anyone knows different and has got anything working in this respect please correct me but I believe the HD2 just won't play ball.

For what it's worth, the best guess I have at the problem is that the some element of the mail application is kicking off before the Storage Card is mounted
[HD2 General] ben19:
HTC HD2 Work Around - I assume :)

The reason y it keeps renaming to Storage Card2 because when you boot your phone, the HTC Home looks for your mails which should be technically in the actual memory card(storage card) once you've tweaked the reg. This happens while the phone is yet to detect the memory card. Due to the unavailabilty of the mem card, it creates a folder in root directorynamed 'storage card' then the phone detects the mem card and renames it to storage card 2 for obvious reasons.

Now the workaround, install all the four cabs for cache, email, etc... and then regedit "HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings" and edit

<parm name="PropertyPath" value="\Outlook\Mail" and "AttachPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments". The mail headers remain in phone memory, so that it can be detected on boot ups and avoids from renamings of storage cards, but the attachment stays in the mem card.
[HD2 General] gregwee:
I edited the registry and set "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings\PropertyPath" = "\Storage Card\email\". After the first soft reset, I had the "Storage Card2" problem, so I went into Resco Explorer and moved the "email" directory to "\Storage Card2\email\", then soft reset again. On the 2nd boot, Storage Card is back to being named as Storage Card, and now, all my emails are on the Storage Card instead of internal memory. :D

I have over 4000 emails with attachments downloaded now without any impact on internal storage space. :p

-edit-

I'm still getting the "Storage Card2" problem on a few soft resets... I guess the only way is to have the email text on the device and attachments in the Storage Card...
[HD2 General] :
Please could someone advise the cabs information as above RED, thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
@ben19

I don't believe your solution is any different to that which can be achieved by setting attachments to be stored on the card from within Pocket Outlook - which is also potentially safer as it doesn't involve a registry hack by the user.

@gregwee

I believe you will be stuck with the Storage card 2 issue until someone manages to crack the fact that the HD2 seems to load up email before it mounts the card. You are therefore correct in that having mail in main memory and attachments in the card is about the best we can do for now.

@apieceofcake

For the reasons above, I don't think any CAB will address the fundamental issue so my advice would be not to bother and simply set your attachments to be stored on the card
[HD2 General] dannygroeneveld:
I would love to see a cab-file that could move all messages (not only headers) to my storage card as default.
[HD2 General] weareborg:
Bit of a joke. its a Windows based product, need to get all my Outlook mail. Internal memory is now full. Have nothing else on the bloody phone except for 2 apps. Need help with this urgently as I can't put up with this much longer!

pocket mechanic can relocate Outlook emails to your sd card, hope that helps.
[HD2 General] weareborg:
Thanks S21s20! Have you confirmed it works for the HTC HD2?
[HD2 General] weareborg:
So, I've spent the afternoon trying that with Pocket Mechanic and now I've only got email headers. All my content is gone, presumably until I sync my mail at work tomorrow where it will download all the mail to internal memory again. Joke. If anyone has something solid on this I would really appreciate it. Its the 21st century for gods sake. I've a giant memory card thats redundant because of this lame, lame approach to mail storage!! Someone has to have a solution on these forums??

No changes except:

- root, ro.secure=0

- adb enabled through boot process

- Superuser.apk

Requires HTC 6.35.07.29 or higher radio and 1.76.2007 SPL.

I offer limited support on this ROM image because all I did was a simple R&R (root and repack).

This ROM offers only language support for the countries that it was meant to be distributed to by HTC. This means no Chinese, Viatnamese, US English (it has other English settings).

Enjoy!
