I've been waiting for the Hong Kong English WWE ROM to upgrade my phone. It just locked out on me yesterday, refusing to recognise my passcode during startup. I didn't add/delete/change anything before it suddenly happened. Had to do a Hard Reset and restore everything from backup. Very annoying.

Does anyone know what's the difference between the SEA WWE ROM and the upcoming Hong Kong English ROM? Can you read/type/write Traditional and Simplified Chinese on the SEA WWE ROM?
[HD2 General] Alisha:
With SEA 1.66 you can read both traditonal & simplified Chinese but only write simplified Chinese. And no CSL branding/localization obviously. You will find some files in the Windows folder related to SEA carriers like Starhub, Singtel etc but nothing at all installed that would bother you. Everything is very nice and clean.

Unless you depend on being able to write traditional Chinese and/or you want CSL branding, SEA 1.66 will work out just fine...
[HD2 General] 19bl03:
Thanks, I will remove them and see if anything happens. Actually you can choose what to backup/restore in Sprite Backup. I think the hotfixes got re-installed because I restored the system settings as well after flashing the rom.
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Ok so have installed 1.66 and it seems fine, took me ages to get all my old stuff back on :).

Only thing I clearly noticed is that when my Leo is hooked via active sync to the PC, it definitely feels sluggish (simple scrolling on the device stutters) once disconnected it runs fine. Didn't notice this with 1.48.

Not a real issue but I wonder why it does it with this new ROM?
[HD2 General] gregwee:
Thanks for the info. I actually don't have any of the CSL software installed so the SEA ROM should work just fine for me. I think there is a hotfix with the CSL stuff that I can down load from the HTC Hong Kong website to add CSL settings to the phone. I'll definitely give the SEA ROM a try this weekend.:D
[HD2 General] Alisha:
-I would think twice before loading the CSL patch on top of 1.66. It's only applicable to 1.48 HK according to the description. Although it would probably work, there is some risk of crashing your device or causing other problems. I would leave it...
[HD2 General] Boro22:
has anyone noticed that the quick links scroll bar is not scrolling anymore. ie the drop down menu so you can jump to the forums. my questiin is... how do you scroll??
[HD2 General] pedmond:
I've been wondering the same thing...
[HD2 General] thegios:
For those who have installed 166: can you please check the version of the message application by HTC (message tab then all message than menu than about)
[HD2 General] kaospiloten:
2011.1932 :)
[HD2 General] thegios:
than the new sms hotfix, which is stated to be for rom versions lower than 166, installs a higher version (2011.3631)

can you pls try to install it and see if it will go thru or complain that it's not for your device?
[HD2 General] smuppy:
Annoying links/icons in startmenu

Flashed 1.66.405.2 WWE two days ago, this ROM seems to place links in \windows\startmenu\programs, these links to be exakt:

HTC People, HTC Twitter, HTC Calender, HTC Music.

If I delete the files, they are back after the next soft reset.

I found some references to these links in the registry, at HKLM\Security\Shell\Startinfo\Start, they are all listed there. If I delete these keys, they are also back after the next soft reset ;)

Is this just me or does it happen to anyone else and has anyone got any clue on how to get rid of this crap?

I checked the startup-folder, removed a few suspicious things (HTC-apps) in case any of them were doing this at boot, but nope...

Any ideas anyone? Perhaps I should move this post to a new thread instead? ;)
[HD2 General] thegios:
42. Hide Reappearing HTC Icons from Start Menu

If you delete the HTC shortcuts to Peep, People, Messaging etc and reset, they always come back. To hide these shortcuts for good (not the apps just the shortcuts) use the tweak below.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\IsShortcutEn able

Change to 0 and soft reset. You may need to change their shortcut's properties to hidden by accessing them in Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder
[HD2 General] kaospiloten:
We did not get the sms hotfix here in Norway, I read in an other tread that it wont install on the 166.

Here you can get a serial. And kitchen will be provided within the WE. :D

Just download it, flash it and then complain ;)
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
I would guess it would be Tuesday when the UK ROM update gets released. They try to trickle feed it just in case theres any problems, normally they do a controlled leak of the ROM as well to get initial thoughts from the general public.
[HD2 General] tudort:
If i'm from eastern europe should i wait for my european version? Or can i install it now? I have the file!
[HD2 General] chmun77:
haha.... hope not.... else this will be the most joker phone of the year!!

:D
[HD2 General] arxx:
Anyone installed it yet? You in SEA region? Anything new? Guess it's way to early to get a confirmation that the SMS outbox issue is solved...
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
Why don't you just test it yourselves?

Simply load and flash and then moan...
[HD2 General] arxx:
Sure, but i won't get Norwegian language on it then... Not even English?
[HD2 General] tudort:
it's South East Asia but it should have english too!
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
File is called RUU_Leo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe

So it includes English of course. ;)
[HD2 General] tudort:
a little logic goes a long way . it should also incorporate all the previous updates and fixes.
[HD2 General] arxx:
Cool, i'll try it then :)

Never did it before with ROMs from other regions, guess I will get a choice witch language I want somewhere in the flashing prosess
[HD2 General] tudort:
On your first boot actually!
[HD2 General] arxx:
Got "invalid vendor" on the phone, couldn't install it... Now, i can not turn the phone one... have to try and install 1.48 again.... it gets stuck under boot (with white background, HTC logo and red text with info about room)

Edit: Did a hard reset, its up and running again, with 1.48
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
that's what happened to me trying to put 1.61 on my phone using the SD card method - used ActiveSync method to put 1.48 back on...
[HD2 General] dagrim1:
You'll need to flash using the goldcard I or have HSPL isntalled to flash this I assume (and then by extracting and using customruu or copying the nbh to sd card).

Hopefull some nice fixes in this rom and hopefully some nice cooked roms based on it soon :)
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
Yeah, just pull the *.nbh out of the self extracting archive using WinRar or so and install it after HSPL via custom RUU.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
did all that and it didn't work!
[HD2 General] wesleyho:
Newbie ...

If i flashed this rom, do I still need to run the previous update to my phone ?

e.g.

Update for HTC HD2 SIM Contacts

Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Cards

etc.
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
I don't think so, but to be sure try to install them and if they are already there its gonna say the hot fix is not suitable or something and that means its already there.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Each of the hotfixes tell you the maximum ROM version they apply to. I doubt you need any of them with this though. Just check the description of each one.
[HD2 General] thegios:

[HD2 General] aegidios2:
Hi,

Are opengl drivers more faster in this rom, or still we need to patch them ?

thanks
[HD2 General] thegios:
grat thanks :-)
[HD2 General] smuppy:
... and god damnit, I need to learn how to search ;) I searched in this thread only since I didnt have this issue before and thought it was something related to this ROM ;)

Thanks a bunch!
[HD2 General] gregwee:
Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll have to get the 3G and hsdpa settings elsewhere when I install the new ROM.
[HD2 General] thegios:
what's the CSL patch? o.O
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
So there is new SMS hotfix (http://bit.ly/dmvAAT).

Does anybody know what is the difference between 1.48 ROM + All hoftixes (including this latest one) and new 1.66 ROM?

Edit: Just installed this latest SMS hotfix. HTC Messages version is now: 1.5 (Build 2011.3631)
[HD2 General] gregwee:
It's a patch you can download from the HTC Hong Kong website that gives the phone the settings and the software to access CSL specific services. The HD2 is an exclusive phone offered by CSL here in Hong Kong.
[HD2 General] thegios:
all i can tell for sure is that...

... people on rom 166 cannot install this new hotfix

... by installing this new hotfix on rom 148 you get a higher version of the manila messaging application than the one provided in rom 166
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
anyone knows if the new ROM fixes the fm issue?? i tried but i'm in a bad reception area anyways.
[HD2 General] Tigger01:
Aaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!!

I hoped all the problems would be cleared up with this ROM, but having installed it last night today I've had the sleep of death (screen stayed black and phone would not wake up), I've had Windows errors with filesys.exe and services.exe, then it froze while opening the internet browser, resulting in having to soft reset.

I was experiencing these errors and freezes with the 1.48 ROM as well but can't believe they are still there. is anyone else experiencing these problems or am I alone? I can't believe these are hardware problems but why else would people have such different experiences with the same software?

(written on my HD2, I don't have any problem with the HTC keyboard!)
[HD2 General] thegios:
It looks like the ITALIAN ROM 166 has the following version of the manila message application

Message ver 1.5 build 2011.1932

I am still on ITALIAN ROM 148 with the latest sms patch and I have the following versione

Message ver 1.5 build 2011.3631

Still the patch I have downloaded is coming from the European site not from the Italian site where it's missing
[HD2 General] smuppy:
You should seriously consider handing your phone in for service/replacement, sounds to me like you have gotten a unit from a bad batch.
[HD2 General] gwelwhir:
I agree. Especially if all those errors are continuing to happen even after a ROM upgrade -- i.e. "clean" device, w/out many extra programs installed (if at all).

Oh, btw, you did not happen to restore a backup belonging to a previous ROM, I presume?
[HD2 General] Tigger01:
I was thinking about returning it, but just keep thinking that because the device works, the hardware must be fine, and the software is the same in each phone, so what difference will swapping it make? Also, won't the supplier be funny about swapping a phone which they probably won't be able to reproduce the faults on (at least without playing with it for ages) and even then probably just say that it's a software glitch and they can't help?

I have used sprite backup to restore my messages, call history and files, but nothing more. I also installed SPB wireless monitor but haven't installed anything else yet.

I was thinking of doing an even more basic backup tonight (just SMS), reflashing the 1.66 ROM and seeing how that goes for a day or 2 just to see if its any better.

I assume most people aren't experiencing all these errors and freezes then?
[HD2 General] max1274:
Been using 1.66 a LOT for the past few days. Listening to music, surfing the web (a lot), answered pretty much all my email as I've been out of the office, using apps from the marketpace and have not had an issue. I was previously affected by crashes, lock screen freezing a lot and very slow loading txt's and these have all been sorted as far as my experience goes.
[HD2 General] waynepyrah:
I too have had the sleep issue with the new rom and the filesys error

not seen services yet this time!
[HD2 General] Tigger01:
Just trying to sync with mobile device centre (which always take 10 mins plus for me with this phone) and have had windows errors with services.exe 3 times and device.exe once and the sync hasn't even finished yet!

Syncing my trusty old TyTN II was a matter of seconds, I really think I'm going to have to RMA this phone!
[HD2 General] Tigger01:
.... Add to that connmgr.exe! I've abandoned the sync now, completely stuck and after unplugging the phone and it going to sleep, it's stuck in the sleep of death again. Soft reset time again... :confused:
[HD2 General] remotek:
where is the german rom v 1.66? :( not on the htc site yet
[HD2 General] Boggles_man:
Can a t-mobile HTC HD2 mobile be flashed with the latest firmware, or does have to be done via the HSPL method?
[HD2 General] Tigger01:
Enter your device's serial number on the HTC site to download the new ROM. If it lets you download it then it will install with no problems. If it says your device is not suitable then you will need to use the HSPL method (after getting the ROM from elsewhere). ;)
[HD2 General] severeano:
I've just upgraded my T-Mo UK HD2 from the stock ROM to the latest 1.66 version using HSPL, downloaded from HTC website using a serial number from the forums. Its worked, but the settings for connecting to T-Mobile internet arent there, probably unsurprisingly... how do I restore things like the internet settings?
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Try Settings > All Setting > Connections > Connections Set Up and pick your operator's name from the list. If that doesn't work, google the settings (they must be on T-mob website anyway!) and enter them manually in Settings > All Settings > Connections
[HD2 General] severeano:
Thanks !!!!
[HD2 General] conscept:
where did you find the serials? :)
[HD2 General] johsoed:
It's better installing all the hotfix on 1.48 ROM than upgrading to 1.66 Rom.

The radio version is downgraded to 2.06 after installing 1.66 ROM. using 2.07 radio version your battery lives longer.:mad:
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Or you could install the radio of your choice seperately. Radios can be flashed just like roms(using hspl), without hard reseting the phone.

See the radio rom thread here

no need to discuss about this

I see the following:

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2

An updated ROM is now available for HTC HD2 users to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience.

Datum : 2010-02-02

Categorie : ROM Upgrade

Downloaden

​

Maybe you need to do a refresh/CTRL-F5/Cleanup of cache?

it's not possible that we see different things..

I've tested with 3 different PC's, and I'm nog going crazy, it's there ;-)
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
I really don't know what is happening here. I cleaned my cache with cccleaner/windows washer, etc. Surfing to this site: http://www.htc.com/nl/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all, only shows me the latest SMS function update but no ROM (except the one to 1.48 of course). Very strange, isn't it??

P.S. It's indeed not in the overall update section but only in the ROM upgrade section (2-2-2010). Weird that HTC does not place this ROM update on the general HD2 support site!!

Thanks for pointing me into the right direction!!
[HD2 General] amitambika:
SMS Stuck

Perhaps this is the first case of SMS stuck in outbox after the 1.66 ROM. All my messages are stuck in utbox, however they go out on doing a 'retry send'.
[HD2 General] donSjon:
me neither,

I arrived at home after work and....I don't see it anymore??

Maybe they removed it and was I the one with an old cache and so still seeing it?? (although I also tried on other PC's afterwards...)

very strange

but well,

the direct link is still working :-)

I will give it a try this evening (first I must make the backup :-) )
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
It's still available by this link: http://www.htc.com/nl/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=2

As I stated earlier, weird though that the ROM upgrade is not mentioned anywhere else on the HTC support site, even not the general HD2 support site.
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
did you already install the ROM update? If yes, how does it compare to the1.48 version?
[HD2 General] graham_uk:
Hi all, forgive the noon question but my im looking to upgrade the ROM on my HD2 also. The HD2 website states

"* This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading."

I have this phone, new in January from Virgin and if i upgrade, what Virgin customisations / settings will i lose?

Does flashing ROM invalidate your phone insurance / warrenty?

Many thanks

1.66upgrade: Weather Tab updating automatically, NOT manually

Hi all,

I've upgraded my rom to 1.66 (dutch) yesterday, and now it is offline again and nowhere to be seen. Weird, but this has nothing to do with my question. I have a problem with the weather. when I update the weather manually I get a message I don't have an internet connection. But when I start opera i can browse the web. Then when I go back to the weather tab, the weather has updated! (looking at the latest update time) Is this a known bug and if so, is there a fix I can install or regedit i can apply? Thnx!
[HD2 General] donSjon:
to be honest, I don't notice that much difference.

I did install the CAB file somewhere on this forum to install the extra SMS hotfix as the latest one from HTC cannot be installed on this ROM (although mentioned it can and although the SMS app version is a later version in the hotfix)

after the install I noticed that my battery was being drained very fast. after a 2nd hard reset I can now say that my battery has never done better? :-)

for me the only benefit of this rom is that I don't need to reinstall all the hotfixes.

Personally I don't notice a speed increase as mentioned by others in this thread.

oh yes, I should also add, that I don't use the sense but I've SPB Mobile Shell installed. so I cannot say if there are improvements in the "sense".
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
What is the latest release of WWE?

1.66 comes in many point variations, it seems, or am I mistaken?
[HD2 General] eric7577:
After flashing to the 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE ROM fr 1.48, my phone no longer automatically switched to silent mode when I flip it upside down like it used to. Anyone faced this problem?
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
What you are describing is not standard windows mobile behaviour. You have to had installed any application that does this. Try to remember what apps you have installed on your last ROM.
[HD2 General] eric7577:
Oops....ya, I got it fixed back. It's one Max Manila 2.7 features. Thanks...
[HD2 General] Archer:
It is standard behaviour for the HD2 though mate. It doesn't need 3rd party apps to do this.
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
Ok, my fault. :)

I have never heard of this feature to be working without any third party apps, and even its not working for me now on 1.66 (unfortunately havent tryed on 1.48) - so I decided that it's not standard behaviour.

My Apologies, I was wrong.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
it isn't standard HD2 behaviour...it doesn't go to silent mode when placed face down. No option to do this too.
[HD2 General] ilgaz:
Actually it is standard HD2 behaviour.

Turn your phone over on its screen when ringing.

It will stop ringing (go silent, not reject call).

ROM 1.43 WWE
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Only when there's a phone call, not when there isn't a phone call. That's a feature added in Max Manilla. There's a big difference. :D

totally discharged phone camera flash keeps on going

Hi

Probably just a failour of the phone but I installed the HTC rom update yesterday and all seemed to go well. I was able reinstall all the applications I had on it before and it was working ok first thing this morning.

Sometime later however the phone was completely dead. When I tried to recharge it no charging light came on, however the phone got warm

Then the flash on the camera started to go off repeatedly (which was presumably why the battery was discharged in the first place)

Tried hard reset but wasnt able to get the phone to do that - no sign of switching on.

I'll phone HTC support on Monday but wondered if anyone had had a similar problem

No internet

Iv just flashed to 1.66 version from my original t mobile uk 1.42 version and everything is fantastic except I cannot access the internet via grps. My wifi is working fine although i carnt figure out how to get the standard gprs working. I went on tmobile.com and tried to send them to myself yet recieive nothing. This is really frustrating me and I have tried everything I can think of. Can anyone provide me with the settings as I am new to this and its really anoying me!

Thanks :(
[HD2 General] webpatrick:
For all off you out there, here is the description of the face down behaviour:

The built-in accelerometer gives the HTC HD2 a familiar cool feature: you can mute the ringer by simply turning the phone face down on the table. If you turn the handset back up, the ringing won't resume by itself.

Don't worry, it's unlikely your calls will get muted accidentally in your pocket - the feature is set up in such a way that it's more likely to not engage at all rather than engage for no particular reason.

One point of note though is that if the HD2 is already face down when a call comes in, the feature won't be available.
[HD2 General] Alex Castillo:
Automatic Call Reject for a Contact/Group?

In my old Sony Ericsson K850, I had a feature where only calls from numbers on a defined contact group or groups were accepted... any other call was sent to voice mail. However, I really would have prefered to be able to define a rejected contact group, and be able to reject calls related to those specific numbers...

However, I can't find nothing similar on my HD2... can someone help me? I can't believe this powerfull device don't have a way (built in or as an add on) to do this....

Also, is there any way so I can 'dial by voice' on my HD2? How can I do that?

Thanks.
