Hello guys,

For the past few days I have been experiencing few annoying problem

1) My phone has slowed down considerably though i did not install any new software.

2) My Mails don't open with a just clicking rather I have to manually open the inbox

3) The battery drain is so huge that on a single charge my device just gives me 1 hrs of calling and 5-6 of standby.

4) HTC support says the current ROM update is not there as i have a no contract device. current ROM version is 1.48.831.0 dated 11/09/09

Any help would be greatly appreciated coz my first honeymoon with a windows device is not going well:(:confused:

P.S. - I have 7 mail accounts and secondly my EDGE is always on.
[HD2 General] leftkats:
hey... well having edge on all the time is not helping at all with battery life... I am surprised you get as much.. try staying in gsm and switch to edge only if you really need to... also 7 mail accounts is also quite a lot and with them sending and receiving all the time, its normal to have some slow downs every now and then...

did you try any of the custom roms? most of them claim improved battery life
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Interesting issues.

I leave my phone on 3G/HSDPA and I can get a full day (7a-12a) with heavy usage:

1) 24/7 connected: PUSH emails from exchange

2) Back and forth email convos

3) 1hr of calls

4) 1-2hrs of browsing

5) 1-2hrs of internet radio

6) 10-15min Gmaps GPS

7) Occasional youtube video/camera shot

In terms of your issues... lets try some things in order

1) Remove any SD card, see how it works.

2) Hard reset, get set back up, see how it works.

3) Flash a new rom since yours is old! (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477)

IMO, I would jump straight to 3, but up to you.
[HD2 General] bhumbro:
thanks a lot guys for your advice. but being a first time user I still have some apprehensions and hope u all under stand

1) What are custom roms and how do they help and most important thing do i have to pay for them.

2) I know hard resetting will kill all my data is there any way i can make a back-up on my memory card itself and then restore from it as was in nokia communicator

3) Is re flashing the rom similar to the software update done on nokia devices or something diffrent.

4) Mr. mazzarin u adviced me to get a new ROM but HTC support says that I cant so plz it would be very kind if you could elaborate

I'm sorry for being a pain but u know for a first time user how it feels if ur device jacks up.:eek::eek:
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
bhumbro,

Your learning curve is

HUGE

. I suggest you take one step at a time.

First off read the Hints & Tips thread on here. There are a number of solutions in there that will make your device experience better.

Next is to familiarise yourself with our HD forums and glean as much information as possible so you understand what's going on. This is important, especially if you decide you want to try out custom roms. BTW you don't have to pay for these but all the ROM developers appreciate a donation as a thank you for their hard work.

Once you have read up a little do come back and we will do our best to sort out any problems you have with understanding certain concepts. Also try and get used to your device first, know what it can do, before jumping into changing roms.

To search on XDA use this to help you...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://xdaforums.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all So if you search for "Backing up my data" , for example, you will find a load of info on this.

Hope this helps.

WB
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
1) Custom ROMs are modified versions of official HTC ROMs that may be tweaked for faster speed or have additional functions. They are free! :D But donations are welcome. Head over to the HD2 ROM Development forum and you'll see a bunch of choices.

2) I don't back up my data because my Exchange account takes care of 90% of what matters (and the rest is just entering my login data for facebook, youtube, etc.) I would recommend doing some searches like wacky.banana said. I think Microsoft MyPhone does something like this *BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD ON THAT!*

3) Similar, yes.

4) Right. Officially, you cannot. However, if you go to that thread I linked in my original post, it walks you through the process of getting rid of that restriction. Again, like wacky.banana said, you have a decent learning curve ahead of you, but do a lot of reading over in the ROM Development forum, ask a lot of questions, and start flashing when and if you feel you are ready.

Is there a cab or an app to make my tp2 calendar show holidays?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kevmo1965:
The easiest way to go about this is to add holidays to your calendar by Outlook on your PC. In Calendar Options you have the choice to add holidays.

Just found this thread over at PPCGeeks that has US holidays.

[HD2 General] eyeofthetiger:
I have an official 1.66.405.2 ROM with radio 2.06.51.07. Initially I used to get about 1.5 days battery life with moderate use. I then installed some opera tweaks which has improved performance but now battery life is getting to 1 day or under. Anyone have any tweaks/tips or cabs to improve battery life without reducing performance. For example do you recommend a particular radio or should I alter data disconnection. I have tried disabling all data connections by holding the R softkey which does help.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Go to your contacts , look at your favorites... is the "Frequently called" still there ?

I dont see mine. I want to be sure before I rejoice.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
What? Why rejoice?

I think it only shows if you call someone a lot. I remember seeing the HTC number there (LOL :D) and being unable to remove it. So it may pop up again if you call someone a lot. Does anyone have it there?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Mine is still there... I only have 1 favorite... I am going to mess around and see what happens if I add in more, if the frequent list gets smaller or goes away?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Yup, as you add favorites the # of frequently called goes down... it seems 7 is the magic #, once you have 7 favorites there are no more frequently called shown, and if you have less than 7, it shows as many frequently called as it takes to total 7 #'s in both lists combined; ie 7-5 favs=2 frequently called
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Nope... I have 10 favorites and 4 frequently called numbers.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Hmmmm.... maybe my frequently called people all ended up favorited?.... yup! If I remove one of my favorites(I ended up setting 10 too) that was at the top of my frequent list, my lady, the frequent #'s list comes back with the 1 entry... if I take away the next most called, I now have 2 in the frequent list, 8 in favs list... add in some random #'s as favs, up to 15 favs, and still have those 2 frequent showing.... add those 2 freq back to the favs list, they go away from freq and add to the favs...
[Nexus One General] Carloswithac:
Just install Wysie's contacts and hide the most frequently called. That is, if it bothers you.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Argh guess it is still there.

That page is too cluttered. Should be an option to turn off/on.

I used to use Log assist pro but it hasnt been updated in forever.

I may try wysiescontacts. Im terrified of Phone/Contact apks ever since one of them locked up on me and refused to dial out.

Oh well.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Come on man... it's not really that big of a deal. Cluttered? I think you're exaggerating. Besides, if you have more than 7-8 favorites, you don't even see the frequently called list unless you scroll.
[Nexus One General] john boot:
At the moment I have 7 favourites and 8 frequently called.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
<nelson> Ha - Ha </nelson>

(It's cause you don't talke to anyone)
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Yes.

I only keep 5 faves.

Never said it was a big deal. Just a peeve of mine.

The "frequently called" seems rather counter intuitive.

If I wanted them to be readily accessible I would simply touch the star on the contact.

Some people dont like it for privacy reasons.

As with most things I would just like the option to on/off. I wouldnt want them to remove it altogether.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
I recently bought my HTC HD2 from Vodafone UK, it has a ROM 1.43.405.1 and I cannot update the ROM from HTC website because after insert my SN in the validation box it tells me I cannot get the update....

What should I do?

I saw many ROMs on 4shared but I think they not the same in the HTC site...If they are which one of the should I get for my HTC and why? Will I be able to use my phone with my UK Sim?

Help please...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
Windows on your ROM is licensed software, and you bought the license implicitly with your Leo, therefore is it "not possible" to just change ROM.

Having said that :), google the forum a bit for SSPL and/or HSPL. there are several (graphical) guides that will tell you how to use them (sticky threads).

good luck!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
anyone? someone? help me!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
I have done the HSPL on LEO now....I just have no idea what ROM to put on now....

From this list: w w w .4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html

Which one should I use? :s

My Leo has ROM 1.43.405.1 Vodafone UK which came on it....what I do now?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] n0a1m:
It all comes down to what features you want :-). Have a look around.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
I thought that too but on 4shared they do not describe the features. :(

Any idea where can I see the features?

To put on other non mobile brand ROM, I must unlock the mobile first, right?

If that is the case, how do I unlock it? o.O

If I put one ROM in the mobile and them upload another one will it delete the features from the one that was on the phone previously?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
flashing roms is not connected to thee phone being network locked. it will still be locked after you flash it.

look for a world wide english rom version 1.66 (with 1.66 and wwe I'm the name)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
Thanks :)

Btw after the rom update, if I reset my mobile will it be rested to the factory one or the updated version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
No, doing a hard reset will only ever restore it to the rom you last flashed.

To get back to 'as you bought it' you need to find the rom that matches your device.

(for example in your case, voda UK, you find this rom

RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe

)

If you then need to get back to stock, and remove HSPL, you can do it with that rom. (not quite as simple as just flashing it, , see the HSPL thread for how to remove HSPL)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html are only official Shipped roms mate,i never use them anymore couse i love cooked roms from the best chefs in here,and if you got hspl on your phone why dont you try a cooked rom,Look Around you will find a rom suitable for your phone :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Durv84:
OH OK....i will have a look at the kitchen then....:P

Like I mentioned I am a noob lol....I got here just by trying to understand why couldnt I update my ROM. :)

One more question, each ROM completely cleans the before it, right? The features do not stuck up (add on)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
I would advise AGAINST blindly leeching any ROM from any online file sharer.

check this forum, read a bit, and select a ROM from a chef that has cooked something you like (speed, looks like stock, removed HTC, removed bloatware, etc etc). I've tried many, and almost all on this forum are excellent (some are more excellent than others though)..

Flashing a ROM completely cleans ALL settings on your phone, all data is gone, besides whatever is on your SD card.

same if you select Settings/Wipe Device option from the start menu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Be aware that whilst flashing wipes all your old data/settings and such like, it doesn't necessarily wipe the old rom before flashing the new one, just flashes over it.

Roms can be different file sizes, (just compare a few RUU_Signed.nbh file sizes) so sometimes files can be left over from the previous rom. If you start getting random resets and freezes when you didnt before, it could be a sign of a bloated rom. Have a read of the mtty sticky. It looks a little overwhelming at first read, but dead simple really, and basically formats your rom before you flash the new rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
my 2 pence here...

get the official WWE 1.66 ROM and see if that helps the phone, the 1.43 VF ROM is crap and both 1.48 and 1.66 are miles better so first thing is to give these a go. If, after successfully installing it, you wanna try something else then do so...

and read the n00b thread at the top of this forum...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477

it tells you what to do, with videos if needed...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] edamduke:
Hi, I have the same vf handset and was sick of the crappy ROM, I upgraded yesterday after weeks of research and was surprised how easy it was.

However, having had a day to test out my new 1.66 ROM, I have unfortunately found some problems and part of me think maybe I should have waited a little longer for vf to release it officially.

I'm hoping you guys will be able to help again as it may just need different tweaks to the settings...

1. The first problem is that Opera is slightly different, the settings tab has changed, it no longer allows zooming (including pinch zooming) and the pages are not displayed as full width. I have played with all the setting I can in Opera and BsB Tweaks but no joy.

2. I can no longer access TV catchup through Skyfire. The advertisement plays as normal and then it says "non-UK, unauthorised". Is this because it is a WWE ROM and not a UK one? Why isn't there a specific UK ROM like there was for 1.48?

3. Although the alarm volume bug seems to have been fixed, the alarm popup doesn't come up any more when it goes off, making it very difficult to "snooze" or "dismiss".

4. Several error messages have come up relating to the actual phone app, messaging app and audiomanager. The phone has also crashed and gone slow a bit and overall the messaging app is a little more buggy despite it appearing to send all messages.

Any advice would be much appreciated as this does seem as though it could be a much better ROM with some great benefits.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
1.48 was also a WWE ROM - there hasn't been a set UK one other than ISP-based ones
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] edamduke:
Fair enough. I was just going by what it was implying on the HTC support page. 1.48 specifically says UK whereas 1.66 simply says WWE and makes no mention of UK.

Does anyone have any advice on the issues I'm having?

Also, if I wanted to revert back to the vf 1.43 ROM using the SD card to remove HSPL, how do I know the file I've downloaded from the shared folders is exactly the same as I had before? I read that it is more risky flashing without HSPL as you have less chance of fixing it if something goes wrong, does this also go for the method of reverting back using the SD card as it is removing the HSPL?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] American Standard:
Good day folks,

I have searched, and maybe I didn't find it, so forgive me if this has been asked already, and just point me in the right direction...

I am simply a user, who enjoys the fine work the community puts out, I am able to flash back and forth, but not much more than that.

1) I was using the latest Cyanogen (via the CM updater program) with a theme (that I can't recall) with the 'Stericson' lockscreen and build. The main reason I used it was for the look and feel, which really made the phone. Unfortunately, I would use said ROM for about 2-3 weeks, until my G1 would become painfully slow, and would Force Close most any application, including phone and what not. I did clear all the various application caches in the 'Applications' menu of the settings, but the only relief I would get would be to reinstall everything about every 2 weeks. This became onerous and since I require a steady phone for my employment, I reverted back to stock for the stability.

I'm not saying this to say anything bad about Cyanogen or the community, and if there was a way to handle the stability and speed of the software, I would go back to in an instant. In any case, alas, I am back to stock. Any thought or comments about it? I'd be happy to research any questions you may have to help you help me here.

2) Before rooting my phone for the first time, I did downgrade to RC29, then backed up the phone. In that backup were my phone contacts, taken from the last sync before I rooted the phone. Due to another completely separate (non-G1 related) software, my contacts on Google have disappeared. When I restored my G1 to the backup of RC29, I noticed my old contacts were there, however, when the G1 synced with the Google Contacts, the servers overwrote the phone. I would like to know how to either a) force the phone to push the old contacts back onto the server, or b) extract the phone contacts from the G1 backup on the card so that I can enter them manually and force them back on the server.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
Yeah I stopped using Cyanogen once I felt that it became way to "Mainstream" lol

If you ever decide to go back to your rooted G1 try Super D 1.8.

Very Fast and Stable. Have had it for a few weeks now and speed is still the same

but its really upto personal choice and phone. each phone is different in Very Big to the Most minute ways so you would have to try different ones and find one that is to your liking.

Then go into the market and they will be there as installed.
