Not ringing if upside down Htc hd2

Well my problem is..... if my leo is in the pocket or upside down ie on its end, It often doesnt ring at all and I receive message for missed call never happens if on bench on flat. I turned off Quiet ring on pickup and tried pocket mode on and off but no change......problem is that its intermittent ...eliminated any other reason ie data download etc. Im with Telstra Aust but is not telstra phone, is from singapore and have flashed rom to 1.66.707.1 radio 2.06.51.07

this fixed the slow opening windows folder now is like 3 secs very fast .before would take minutes,also camera seems better focus.

Luckily the missed call message tone alerts me immediatly but means have to call others back at my expense !! ha ha hmmmm Cheers ..ps saw a registry maybe fix but out of my league..also am using the notifications cab that was posted in these forums.
[HD2 General] hanzocloud:
isnt it a bit racist for HTC to assume that all of South East Asia speaks either english or chinese? i mean there are many countries in SE Asia just like in Europe... how come Asia rom only has 2 langauges !!
[HD2 General] zstjohn:
why did you necro this thread?
[HD2 General] tudort:
"This update is only for ROM versions less than or equal to 1.59.XXX.X."

Every hotfix has a description in which you can find out if you should install it or not!

Just read carefully on the download page from htc support website!

Cheers!
[HD2 General] jirkab:
New item in Settings->Connections->USB to PC->Device Companion: User guide and tools. There is SpriteBackup.
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
did ur device skip the initial setup wizard? after hard reset, mine skipped the setup wizard and went in straight to the htc sense with clock screen. wierd, but i found out that the wizard is running in the background
[HD2 General] MasterTP:
Same here..
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
is there anyway to trigger the initial setup wizard?
[HD2 General] jirkab:
No. After flash device started standard setup wizard.
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
your device has the initial setup wizard for this ROM, is that what u r saying?
[HD2 General] thegios:
I guess this new rom will delete any data and I'll have to REINSTALL all applications.

I also guess I can delete all application'folder from storage card
[HD2 General] wesleyho:
Thx for the reply!!!

I've try it once I download complete.
[HD2 General] MasterTP:
ANyone able to kill the setup wizard running in the background?
[HD2 General] lopuk:
Can't u just use task manager to switch to it.
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
u r right, after u switch the device off, it's still running in the background regardless of how many times you switch off and on. anyway to trigger the setup so it can run once and not bother us anymore?
[HD2 General] Drom:
Do you think it will be possible to load a backup (done with spb backup) of an older rom to the 1.66?

I always used it when changing roms on my touch hd but none of them was an official rom, they were all cooked. I imagine it's the same but I'm not sure.

♣
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
how? i tried using task manager to locate it but not found in the list.
[HD2 General] MasterTP:
Nope it doesn't show up in the taskmanager. And I'm also unable to install .net 3.5!
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
we have to get the initial setup wizard run for the first time then it will disappear forever.
[HD2 General] tkoutal:
You mean you don't know when the update is completed and how long does it take? Is there a curse on the phone for nothing ever to be normal?
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
it's not a curse and u can save the sarcasm for urself. the initial setup wizard is constantly running in the background despite having soft reset or shut down the device and it's taking up system resources etc. please do think a little bit before replying. there is nothing constructive in the way you reply and you are not contributing here. if you dont like this discussion, then please, go bother other people somewhere else.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I don't think he was being funny with you. I think that was "lost in translation".

Anyway, how ironic! I flashed 1.61 yesterday and have suffered non-sending SMS messages for the first time! I REALLY hope this update fixes it!
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
Solution found by MasterTP! just go to comm manager, turn off the phone and you'll be able to skip through the initial setup wizard. thank you MasterTP!
[HD2 General] tkoutal:
Well it's a good thing somebody got it the right way.. like I had nothing better to do than get in here and be sarcastic.. Anyway thanks for the support..

@alexnvidia: Maybe you should follow your own advise and think a little before replying.. It was an honest question.. you could just answer it and be a little more contributive yourself. I'm only gathering information in anticipation of the new rom release for the rest of us.

thanks anyway, I'll wait and try it myself
[HD2 General] Stevehubbard:
not available on my handset in the uk either
[HD2 General] Archer:
I just succesfully sent myself an SMS, so it looks go so far! lol

Edit:

I've just spotted the System Setting "Text Messaging", which allows you to toggle between threaded and non-threaded. Hardly monumental, but nice :)
[HD2 General] cinciberlandia:
Flashed, sms sending is working on the first test.

Let's see the rest.

When I bought my HTC Universal, it had a bug with the sms also, after 5 years they didn't manage to fix the second main function of a smartphone. This will become a classica bug, when I buy my first WM7 mobile device, I'm shure that sms will not work ok.

Get back iphone, I forgive you ;)
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Is it just the sms that should be fixed in this rom? Or have you seen more updates?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've noticed an option to toggle threaded and non-threaded sms messages, and an extra usb connection option of "device companion". NO idea what that is lol.
[HD2 General] susuwatari:
Installed but don't really see any difference. I didn't have the sms issue though.
[HD2 General] eddie_wakey:
usb host? maybe?
[HD2 General] terryvella:
I have SPB Backup v2.1.0 build 3536 on my HD2. When I flashed to v1.48 it ran like a charm recognising the new rom and kept all my settings.
[HD2 General] danfard:
Can't help with the 'device companion' mode, but how have you managed to get the ROM on your device (you're on o2 in the UK, yeah?)?

Cheers,

Dan.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Device companion has been present for Asia firmware since the beginning. Basically it's a predefined partition that contains several tools for backup and restore.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
Thats awesome news! What that means is, the patch is NOT just an SMS fix :D

Wonder what other goodies are in that little packet :)
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
less the supposedly sms fix, audio during the HTC logo bootup, and the moving of task manager to start menu, so far have not found anything else different from previous Asia 1.48 firmware. Device companion is old stuff to us.
[HD2 General] CowsUdders:
Is there any word as to whether this fixes the nuclear flash that appears on photographs when using the flash at night?
[HD2 General] dnwizard:
The option to change between threaded and non-threaded sms view is present in the 1.48 ROM.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Wifi doesn't appear to turn off when the phone is in standby - that's with NO tweaks or software installed.

Edit:

I take that back. It just seems to have a longer timeout before turning off.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
damn ... your spoiling my hope!

I just ordered mine so when I get back to the UK next week I can collect it. I'm kinda hoping this will be fixed for all rather than just most by then :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
It wasn't for me. It must be a regional thing. Maybe when I get an official UK version of this ROM it will be gone. Who knows!
[HD2 General] Jammie_1989:
Hope they release this in UK soon. Since this morning messages are getting stuck every time have to soft reset then send a txt to myself it's a right ball ache.
[HD2 General] jakem:
In the official 1.48 UK ROM you can toggle Messaging>All Messages>Menu>Settings>Traditional Mode/Conversation Mode to switch between threaded and non-threaded messages. Perhaps this is what dnwizard is referring to?
[HD2 General] dnwizard:
No. I am referring to the 'Text messaging layout' setting under All Settings>System>Text Messaging. Here we can select between threaded or unthreaded view.
[HD2 General] romac:
1.66

What are your feelings about this ROM?
[HD2 General] jakem:
Ah sorry. No, that's definitely not in my 1.48 ROM.
[HD2 General] ~Johnny:
I think maybe that was added by one of the SMS patches?
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
What about integrated voice dialing software? Is finaly present in this new rom?
[HD2 General] malix007:
Can somebody please tell which radio version is included in this new rom ?
[HD2 General] JayceOoi:
Just updated. Managed to send out 2 SMS without any issue. Will monitor and see... :D
[HD2 General] Connoisseur76:
I had installed the new ROM last night and the phone now is definitely faster and more responsive! The keyboard is more accurate and the touchscreen is perfect. So far, I never had issues with SMS since the first day i got this phone. And the pinkish issue of the camera doesn't exist anymore.
[HD2 General] Connoisseur76:
Radio is 2.06.51.07
[HD2 General] LarryLauLive:
The new ROM didn't seem to present any noticible difference to me (besides the audio for welcome screen).

1. SMS sending issue: Still no "SMS Sent" notification, dunno if it fixes the send issue - will wait and see.

2. SMS load issue: Still loads ALL the hundreds of SMSes when I try to reply. Same behaviour as the SMS hotfix - I can start typing but the response is sluggish as it is loading the previous SMSes in the background.

3. Screen Lock after call issue: Still doesn't lock screen on call hangup via bluetooth or the big red "End Call" buton.

4. Camera issue: The pink patch of the camera is still there. Nuclear flash light seems to be better so far (!) Will wait till night time & try it on my family. No new setting to control flash level.

Summary: Sure looks like minimal changes (or an accumulation of the hotfixes so far)- awaiting confirmation on the SMS send issue and "Nuclear Flash" issue. I'm not sure if it's worth hard-resetting the phone.

Location: Singapore

Phone: Stock ROM (ver 1.48, now 1.66)
[HD2 General] Sian:
One say no more pink hue issue with the camera, but one say has.. so, any more people can comment on this?

But it doesn't make sense for HTC to exclude this.. hmm...
[HD2 General] lythe123:
1.66.707.1

Horse crap. I am so pissed about the SMS. Seriously. i Downloaded 1.66.707.1 using the asian SN and now i get "this update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. please check your update utility." when trying to install. What gives?
[HD2 General] lythe123:
Added information is that it is an error 294: Invalid vendor ID.

I did buy it unlocked. its in the US and on AT&T. Does this help?
[HD2 General] jong17:
I don't have the pink hue issue with the camera, so far everything works just fine
[HD2 General] chmun77:
what about doing a hard reset and try again??
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
This update is specifically for asia phones....maybe you should try the HSPL way.
[HD2 General] lythe123:
I tried this. Same result.
[HD2 General] lythe123:
I am sorry - what is the HSPL way?
[HD2 General] lythe123:
Wait - the HSPL way sorta throws everything out the window. Right? I may want to sell this if this SMS doesnt get fixed. I probaby shouldnt HSPL it then. (i already feel bad enough entertaining the thought of selling it when i know the damn SMS doesnt work).
[HD2 General] lythe123:
to hell with it. Ive done it - will let you know if it works. :o
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
you can always flash an original ROM from SD and remove HSPL
[HD2 General] tjex:
Based on the S/N how do I know which region my phone is from? Would like to download the new ROM but can't tell which official site to get it from.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Then just wait for the other countries' release for this firmware....you're getting ahead of yourself. As of now, this firmware is released for Asian countries only. For sure it will be released for the rest....in time, be patient. Just take it that the Asian countries are doing bug testing for ya guys. :D
[HD2 General] novalistic:
Try the download link below . . . . (File Size: 190MB)

(SORRY ALL!! - BANDWIDTH LIMIT EXCEEDED) Download Link had been removed.

Flash this ROM only take less than 10 minutes . . . All previous patches / hotfix should be included in this ROM :p

SMS issue definitely resolved !! :D:D At least for me till now. :p

:cool: :cool: :cool:
[HD2 General] lythe123:
Nope. SMS still not working.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
really...how did you test it?
[HD2 General] bibbe:
what if i want my old rom back after installing this new ROM?????
[HD2 General] stammerx:
Singapore

Downloaded and flashed my device with the new ROM. Didn't generate a changelog or anything fancy but I haven't had any problems with my SMSes which is a good sign.

Battery life is still miserable on my phone could be a hardware problem although it is my second battery and THIRD phone from HTC. Met a bunch of other dissatisfied HD2 customers in the Singapore Care Centre this week all with battery problems. (EDIT: Could the problem be carrier specific? They do preload the phones with certain carrier junk bookmarks and apps)

This ROM update seems to have removed the task manager link from the settings page under the "Other" tab. Can't seem to find it anywhere now. I was having some issues with lag lag when pulling the quick tabs before on the 1.48 ROM but those seem to be resolved. Could be attributed to the deletion of all my data as well during the flash though.
[HD2 General] biranouran:
I flashed it, till now I just find that when soft reset, my Leo is not "quiet" brillant, because now HTC add a horrible song to start up.
[HD2 General] chongbh:
I like that startup sound though it cannot satisfy everyone's preference. :p
[HD2 General] [Krueger]Dr.Stein:
1.48 - 1.66

To anyone who upgraded to 1.66 from 1.48WWE.

Can anybody please check the idle memory usage in task manager is now at 395K instead of 388K?

Just wondering if they have something running in the background with the new ROM.

Thanks.

P/S : do i still need to install all the other hotfixes? - been out of the game since xda days
[HD2 General] deadmau:
I have 1.48 WWE rom now on my hd2, can I install the asian version?
[HD2 General] sg10:
anyone have the 1% battery for 1.66 ? I tried the one for 1.48 (work properly) and get black icon sometimes.
[HD2 General] XTREEM|RAGE:
Dont think so, but on the HTC site you need to enter your device number so they can determine if you can download it or not.
[HD2 General] deadmau:
I can't install, it gives me bad vendor ID
[HD2 General] razorpixel:
Just flash to latest ROM, working fine and more stable than before.
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
confirmed details of whether this update actually sorts out the SMS issue is not coming in..i guess it is too early to tell..coz the SMS always worked for a couple of days after a soft/hard reset anyways.
[HD2 General] eyeofthetiger:
I currently have the 1.61 ROM installed via goldcard method. Can I flash directly onto this or do I need goldcard,HSPL method?

Thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
You should be able to use the same method.
[HD2 General] eyeofthetiger:
You mean goldcard method?
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
task manager is now available directly from start->all programs
[HD2 General] romac:
Yes, use the goldcard method. This ROM is very stable no issues so far, except the loud ring volume
[HD2 General] deadmau:
Or you can flash with HSPL hack, it works great
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
I have a uk phone. is there any problem with installing this South East Asia version to it?

Don't wanna go bricking it or whatever!
[HD2 General] hargibi:
Its a WWE / asia rom. :) says so in the filename! :D
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
so its safe to use on a uk Leo?

Sorry just wanna make sure before i take the plunge!
[HD2 General] tonysosw:
nevermind - should have read the first post :p
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
nope. run it from your pc and follow the instructions.
[HD2 General] appelflap:
So, what's new on this rom. Any changes in the manila music library interface, like for example search-functionality? :)
[HD2 General] rimkhan1:
It wont update your rom but it wont brick it either.:)
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
oh! SO i just can't install it????

Oops! Didn't know/understand that part... :o
[HD2 General] XTREEM|RAGE:
If your doubting, just w8 for the download on the HTC site. :/
[HD2 General] novaci:
Has this fixed the numerous issues with audio playback if you happen to receive a call while listening to music?
[HD2 General] novalistic:
Memory usage in task manager @395K normal, I believed there isn't any program running in the background.

When you see memory @388K, u should see some running programs . . .

For my case: Memory usage in task manager range from 388K to 392K.

Thank you novelistic. After reading your post I realised that it's the SIP. 388 for the phonepad and 392 for the qwerty.

Any ideas about the necessity for the previous hotfixes?
[HD2 General] rob-ra:
Edit - nvm

Anyone else getting dodgy sound quality on their phone calls after using this ROM? or is it just me lol.
[HD2 General] srw985:
Is there a mirror up of this yet?

Their servers getting hammered and this is gonna take over an hour to download
[HD2 General] moin786:
to update the new rom...

shall we hard reset the phone first and then try or else just install the new rom...
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
Just install it, using Goldcard, or if you don't have one, using HSPL (do a little bit of searching). HardReset before flashing doesn't really make sense...

To get the RUU_signed.nbh for HSPL and custom RUU - method just extract the downloaded *.exe e.g. with WinRAR and take it out...

I have been testing these fixes for testing by texting myself and my my other phone and they simply do not go through. :mad:They were shown as having been sent rather than showing them 'stuck' in my outbox. Does this matter?:confused:

I am in the US and with AT&T.

Please tell me what I can do/check/kick? Do i need to mess with the network connections? i.e., GPRS Preferred, etc?

Any help would be so greatly apprciated! :rolleyes:

I've got a little newbie question... I bought my phone in Luxembourg, so what country should I choose when entering hTC webpage to download the rom? The phone has the english language... so do I have the UK version? How can I be sure? My current rom version is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE.

Thanks! :)

Very early to say, but yes.

Well, i Bit the bullet and installed the new ROM, And im about 50% of the way downloaded all my texts from MS my phone, and so far so good....lag seems to be gone... phone seems to be running....great!

But still, ****ing hell HTC, how many months? not to mention this only being available to ASIA firstly? what if i wasnt a geek? lol
[HD2 General] edved:
Uh? I don't see that.
[HD2 General] stammerx:
Thank you alexnvidia! I can confirm that the task manager is using 420K of RAM on my phone with no other applications running.

There is still a lag when typing SMS messages. The text does not appear immediately for longer threads.

Exchange 2010 SMS Sync Issue

I have just recently purchased the HD2 from Telstra in Australia, its different in having 850Mhz for 3G vs 900Mhz. So i am unsure I would actually use this ROM.

My ROM version is 1.49.841.1 (71528). The issue I have had isn't a delay in sending messages, its when I sync to Exchange 2010 which allows the syncing of SMS and worked on my Xperia X1 and iMate 9502.

The HTC Messages application broke the SMS sync with Exchange. Removing HTC messages and reverting back to Pocket Outlook for SMS it works.

Has onyone on 1.66 tested with Exchange 2010 and does it now sync SMS and still use the prettier HTC messages? (Cos without it under contacts it breaks the text tab).

I personally love the fact I can send/read SMS from Outlook 2010 beta or from my Webmail.

Since you can have that in android i figure it should exist something similar created for wm.

I have only found wm homescreen plugins so far but since thats no use when you running manila or CHT it not even worth downloading.

Looks like ill have to keep searching....
