Great phone.... has a few manageable bugs

Looks like the T9193 smokes for speed. Thanks again to kevinrirvine for selling me one at a good price with express shipping.

I'm noticing that the HSPA mode will just "drop" and all web access is lost to and from the phone (phoen and SMS works, data only) with the 2.06 radio and the SE Asia ROM after a day or so--basicaly every day. This is quickly fixed by either toggling the phone on and off or by installing the "3g mode" switch option cabfile and switching from 3g on to 3g off (hspa to edge). You can switch back again, but I just leave it in edge mode until I NEED the speed to conserve battery life. HSPA running will really drain the battery fast.

Is this an issue with the radio romfile? can anyone prove that the 2.08 radio (Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 **(from TMOUS 2.09): ) from this thread in post #1:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787

solves the issue--or is this a known problem. Edge "E" mode does not do this "dropping", and I have used both a T8585 and a T9193--neither drops on edge mode on ATT. Anyone know a way to fix this to leave HSPA on all the time--I suspect this issue relates to the radio transitioning from the "H" mode to the idle "3G" mode and back again and it just "dies, or it relates to the radio romfile v2.06.

Any KNOWN resolution to the HSPA dropping daily besides a 'data on and off' or 'phone on-off toggle?
[HD2 General] jmirabil:
And before someone asks, the link to the 3g comm manager cabfile option that toggles 3G/HSPA quickly and optimally for my T9193 data drop "workaround" is at:

thx...
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
I don't know how anyone can prove to you that it helps. I already posted a few pages back that I use 2.08.50.08_2 radio with my sea rom and I have no issues. Hasn't dropped a connection in weeks.

I tried your comm manager cab you mentioned. I found one major issue with it. When turning 3G/H off then back on go look at your band setting. For network bands there is not one set anymore. And now you have to reset it each time. I leave mine set at WCDMA and down below GSM850+1900 if using sea or with telstra rom (or my cab file I posted) it would be GSM1900+UMTS850 and all is fine. If you leave either on auto it is searching other bands which cant be used with ATT.
[HD2 General] jmirabil:
Great catch! Thanks so much for the info...I'll probably remove the 3G bandswitch item or try the AUTO band setting instead of WCDMA which seems to be the rom default.

Since we are using the same se asia rom i think you just proved that the newer radio you mentioned solves the issue-as long as its known: Are the data/connection settings otherwise default for the se asia rom v166 and the 2.08 radio you mentioned? Good stuff...
[HD2 General] rodrigofd:
One good fix, at least improved situation for me, is to go to Adv. network > GPRS > authentication type > CHAP... try it..!
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Yeah I mentioned that twice a few posts back. Also if you let the phone set up the ATT Media Net connection for you it will also setup up a user id and password. I deleted that user id and password. It is not needed. Might be another reason for unstable connections.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
I've seen that a couple of times in this thread - is there a source for that or just a feeling?

I'm not questioning whether it works - I'm just on the OLD att, I have different network settings than you guys, so I'm not sure whether one or the other is more beneficial to me.

The only issue I see - which is barely an issue - is the initial lag when starting browsing to a web page, etc. I feel like it could be a little bit quicker ;)
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
That might depend on where you are at mazzarin and which service you were using that ATT bought out. My previous phones were non smartphones. And in their network settings none of them included user id and password. Also it might have to do that I am on the $15 plan and not the smartphone plan. Thats the one issue with the HD2 setting it up correctly. Possibly to load opera quickly you might want to install the ATT proxy.

There are no facts that I have found whether to use ATT user ID and password or not. All I know is my phone works better without it. That was one thing I did when trying to stop my phone from disconnecting all the time in the first place. It was great for weeks. Not one disconnect.

I installed the new version of swype which caused me to set up my emails, router wep code and run through my network setup again. Damn swype. But I just hit auto update for network settings. For 2 days straight I was getting disconnects again every couple hours. Phone almost took flight. Then I removed the user id and password and all has been good for 24hrs again.

If you were referring to pap and chap.....I searched the internet heavily. And on ATT's website and everywhere else I found that they indeed use chap and not pap. Exactly what it does I am not sure.

All I can say is that there are many all over the world having disconnect errors. I did too. It can be frustrating and it is up in the air on who to blame. In my opinion it is finding the right settings. What works for one might not work for others. I was just relaying what works for me. I am back to being happy again.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
I'm on the old ATT, they were bought out by themselves (then Cingular ;))

The proxy doesn't work for me, that's for MEdiaNet users only. I'm still on good old mMode and that's how I likes it (now get off my lawn!)

Anyways, good to hear, I'll continue to fiddle with it. It's working fine I'm just nitpicking.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
Can someone PLEASE delete the [fixed - swype] cab. It DOES break the device's PIN entry screen, requiring a Hard Reset = a huge loss of data. Please delete the cab so others do not have the same s*** situation. :mad:

What is the major diffenece between the Telstra Hd 2 and the T-Mobile Hd 2 US? spec rom ram etc? for an att user?I Know if i get the t9193 ill have 3g but will i lose any memory?
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
You'll have 512mb less ROM (hard drive) space. Otherwise it's the same, minus the ugly TMO logo plastered across the top.
[HD2 General] eastside770:
thats not to bad a guess with a 16 bg memory card.
[HD2 General] mikron15:
Both comes with 16gb card
[HD2 General] dzman:
i installed [fixed - swype], my PIN still works
[HD2 General] eastside770:

if the rom on an telstra has been change it still should get 3g on att right?
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Yes it will.
[HD2 General] Bakedbread:
sorry if this has already been asked (tried flipping through as many pages of the thread as i could)

I just got my T9193 under Rogers (Canada) network and flashed to WWE 1.66 ROM

I tried changing the baseband from Auto to "GSM" + GSM 850/1900 but i keep getting a message about "CHP"? or something not working, and then I wont get any signal.

I know flashing to 1.66 ROM takes out the selection of 3G/UMTS 850/1900 (but i know it still is selected due to the hardware), but is my only option keeping it on Auto?

I have no connection problems when set to Auto, but Ive read previuosly that it saves on battery life if the basebands are set.

I've tried GSM and WCDMA and other combinations, but all of them seem to cause the signal to give an "X"

Sorry if i dont make too much sense, its a little hard to explain

Thanks in advance!

(Oh , and 3G/HSDPA is SOOOO much faster than EDGE speeds! I'm so glad I upgraded :)
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
For Network Band select wcdma if you want a 3G signal or GSM for edge only. For Band frequency select the GSM850-1900. Rogers does in fact use GSM 850+1900. With that selection you will also get the 850UMTS band which is not indicated with the european rom. Ignore the warning as it doesnt apply.
[HD2 General] mlekas:
no radio signals while traveling in Europe

I can't see this particular issue on the forums, so here goes...

I'm in Germany today with my 9193 using an AT&T SIM. When I got off the airplane there was a (!) next to the antenna and I cannot make phone calls, let alone data connections. First I tried to reset connections in the Connection Setup control panel, setting it to Germany and a bunch of providers (o2 etc.) but then I remembered I should at least be able to roam... so I did a Clear Storage. it came up, detected my AT&T SIM, configured me for United States, and still no radio. I've tried all the data mode settings (no HSPDA, force GSM, etc.) but the problem is with detection of any provider at all. It's like my phone doesn't want to roam.

Thinking it might be an issue with the latest radios or ROMs, I have flashed back to several original ROM/RADIO combinations (currently at 1.48.405, radio 2.05.51.05_2). No luck.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Am I missing something obvious? I really need my phone.

thanks in advance,

M
[HD2 General] matthewf01:
Could it be something on AT&T's end, maybe not allowing roaming on your SIM?

I know you cant exactly call them up right now...
[HD2 General] mlekas:
I thought about that, but last time I did international travel without roaming my phone (an HD at the time) let me see a signal and dial 611 for support. I'll see if they can help.

[edit]oh man. yep, that was it. I feel like an idiot. Thanks matthewf01.

New Telstra ROM.

Hey a few hundred pages ago a couple of guys in this thread where talking about a new Telstra ROM (1.66 i think) that was about to be released and that they have ripped the radio from it or something along those lines? My question is "Does any one know when the new Official Telstra ROM will be released" as i need to format my HD2 but dont want to use the current ROM avalible if there is going to be a new ROM released the day after i format! The format is not a huge priority, I only want a clean slate to work with as i have now found a happy medium with customisations but have a registry (and App data folder) full of crap from all the other CABs i tried but did not work or did not like.

Thanks Guys.
[HD2 General] KKBII:
BTW,

Already has rom version 1.72 something radio 2.07.51.2.2 the beta version was out weeks ago and I tore apart the rom to get the radio so know it like the back of my hand. Google is your friend search in the dev section it is final and already released yet all the crap ware you mentioned still exists.
[HD2 General] GeeOff_N:
Please reinterate? I am looking for the Official Telstra ROM from the HTC.com/au web site, not a cooked ROM for Telstra users. My current ROM (the current Official Telstra ROM shipped with the phone) is 1.48.841.1 (71528) WWE with Radio 2.05.51.11.
[HD2 General] KKBII:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649852

What do you think I am giving you this is official from the HTC AUD WEBSITE. I repeat and have already test driven it and am about to pull apart the rom to get the I hope new and improved radio different than the test version posted 3-4 weeks ago by non other than me.
[HD2 General] GeeOff_N:
So this is an official ROM, no HSPL required? I have been checking the HTC.com/au web site every day including today and there is no new ROMs on the site? So this will have all the Telstra bloat ware and Bigpond links? I ask as i work for telstra and need these links and bloat ware to a small extent.

Edit:

Does this new ROM have a newer version of windows? Eg. 6.5.3?
[HD2 General] inked005:
the battle continues.

It seems as if the 9193 data connection battle continues. :(
[HD2 General] KKBII:
Why are you being so difficult here? Yes, I swear to you this is it the final official upgrade to the original Telstra ROM Bloatware and all that you said you needed. I have it on my device as we speak and it is the real deal. If you have the t9193 no hspl is needed and it will flash just perfectly for you have the previous rom on your device right? TRUST ME IT WILL WORK GUARANTEED.
[HD2 General] GeeOff_N:
Ok calm down mate, i only questioned it as i could not find it on the HTC web site myself. Thats all. I have had people tell me to use what they called an official ROM before that turned out to be a torn down version with out the bloat ware. Thanks for helping, i'm grabing it as we speak and will flash it ASAP.:)
[HD2 General] KKBII:
I am calm actually just could not understand why your were questioning me. Let me know what you think when you flash it. btw, htc as much as I love them only use their devices no other often times does not report or update their web site the same day as a rom is released officially. Sad, but true.
[HD2 General] GeeOff_N:
So does this ROM have a newer version of WinMob 6.5 or a newer version of HTC Sense? I would love to have WinMob 6.5.3 or better and landscape Sense would be fantastic!! About to Flash it...
[HD2 General] GeeOff_N:
I dont like it, its the same as the last one with no noticable benifit only it keeps freezing and spitting the dummy, its slower (lags out in Sense) and i can't really see what has changed from the stock ROM.

Seriously thinking about going with a stock ROM from HTC with out the telstra blue theme vomited all over it. I have to manually set the internet settings any way as Telstra wants everything to be redirected by Bigpond so other than loosing the Telstra Tabs (all of which go to Bigpond any way) there should be no real diff right?

Do i need to use a specific ROM for the NextG?

New Telstra ROM.

OMG! The new Telstra ROM is terible, its just as bad as the originally shipped ROM only with added frustration!:mad:

HOW DO YOU STOP THE NOTIFCATIONS THAT YOUR SMS WAS SENT SUCCESSFULLY!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Do i need a particular ROM/radio for the NextG connection? I want to go to a stock HTC WWE ROM with no Telstra branding or BS. PLEASE HELP!!!!
[HD2 General] doctajay:
I love my HD2, but i got to tell you, if this thing keeps losing its data connection it really isn't worth the $800 it cost. Just freaking ridiculous. The connection often also seems to drop when I go from an area of no reception like my basement to outside. I get all my bars back but the internet doesn't come through until i turn the phone off, and then back on. i've tried all the tricks and i'm still having this problem. never had it with any of my previous win mo devices.
[HD2 General] stumped:
hey guys, another aussie here...

just wondering what radio's ppl have tried in australia and whether they've had good or bad results with them? i've just flashed to artemis v7 ROM and am wondering whether i should bother playing with the radio... it's 2.05.51.05_2 from a previous stock HTC ROM.

stupid question perhaps, but what are the advantages in upgrading the radio? does it make much difference to battery consumption?
[HD2 General] emsee:
Where did you buy it? If it's a Telstra Next G, they will repair or replace it.

I don't know where, but here on the XDA forum there is a thread that deals with data connection problems.

Good Luck - it's just too good a phone to give up on!

Looking to reflash HTC HD2 T9193 Back to Original ROM

Does anyone have the information for reflashing the original ROM for the HTC HD2 T9193 back to device (after flashing a Hard-SPL unlocker)?

T9193 on AT&T HSDPA

Ok so I think I have figured out how to make the HTC HD2 work consistently on AT&T's HSDPA I will be making a video in a moment to explain it as I do not feel like typing that much. Thx!
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Though my HSPA works fine*, I'm interested to hear your findings!

*On occasion, I might have to manually disconnect HSPA by using that... dropdown bar. I don't know what it's called. You know, the one where you slide down from the top of the screen and you get those unlabeled icons?

(as seen at the top here)

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/9281/screen01fp.png

Just click the first one (data), hit disconnect, and go about my business as usual. Back in action in about 3 seconds :cool:
[HD2 General] inked005:
what settings did you use to get it correct just to compare, im on Dutty's newest with newest radio and the issue I was having for a while was after the phone went to standby the HSDPA would drop and not reconnect unless I used "airplane" mode. Then I changed around the settings to connect to AT&T ISP first then Media net for "private" networks and the phone has been switching between 3G and HSDPA for the past 36 hours without issue. Only using HSDPA when im on the web etc. What did you do to get it correct?
[HD2 General] inked005:
fair enough lol
[HD2 General] inked005:
only problem with mine is, its dropping data every 30-60 minutes so it becomes annoying
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Yeah, mine definitely isn't that bad. More like twice a week for me.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were asking me, I thought you were different from the person saying they were gonna post the video ;)

I'm actually on mMode, the old ATT, so my settings are completely different than yours. It appears to make no difference whether I use PAP/CHAP, though some have said using CHAP does help. Others have also said disabling HSDPA, but leaving HSUPA on seems to also help. I flip between PAP/CHAP and I have full HSPA enabled. YMMV.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Sadly mine has started doing it again. I wish I could pinpoint exactly what is causing it. I thought I had all bases covered. I am leaning toward the email service now. I have 2 email accounts and have them set to update every 15 minutes. Many times I go to my inbox and I see it say disconnecting. But it is stuck on disconnecting. Maybe that is the connection that is not closing correctly and causing the data lockup. I have since disabled auto update for emails and my connection seems to be back on track. Will just have to check them manually for now and see if that fixxes the issue.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
That's rubbish, shouldn't have to manually sync. What radio are you running?
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
We shouldnt have to do alot of things to get this phone to run properly but.....

I am using the 2.08.50.08_2.

I read elsewhere on the forum that losing the accounts stopped the data from freezing. I just don't know anymore. It was great for weeks. But when it came back it is like 4 times a day now. Only thing I have changed recently is installed the new swype 3.9.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
People are reporting 2.09.51 radio seems to work great for them over in the other att thread, give it a go? Not saying it'll help, but I had terrible issues with 50.08
[HD2 General] ryuu55:
Radio 2.09.51.03_2

I am having pretty good luck w/ Artemis v6.0 and radio 2.09.51.03_2. I have better reception in building than I had w/ the stock radio or the 2.08 radio. The battery life is a lot better than the 2.08.

Just my 2cents.

AGO, I was just in another thread answering a question and I came across an interesting registry key. I wonder if it'll help you / others? HKLM/Comm/TCPIP/Parms/EnableDeadGWDetect. It was 0 on mine, I just changed it to 1.

[HD2 General] inked005:
gonna try this radio and reg edit, back to the same issues again with HSDPA dropping every hour or so.

Running SEA WWE 1.66 with Telstra Radio cause everyone seems to have the best luck. I have been having better luck with it. I have flashed every custom rom and radio and stock rom and radio and have had issues none the less. 3G and Edge never ever disconect and stay strong. I dont understand the issue with HSDPA.

I have the normal internet plan ($10 a month) Not a smartphone plan, running exchange syncing as it comes in, facebook, twitter app (Not the HTC one), weather, and GPS. The odd thing is that today at somepoint the phone would stay in 3G when I wasnt on the net and then go to HSDPA when I was using the net. This is the normal opperating procedure from what I understand. Had to restart the phone and it no longer does it like that anymore just stays on H and then drops after a couple of hours.

Internal settings are HSDPA ONLY, GSM for SMS, CHAP Auth, and v.32 for CSD. Connections are Media Net for top one and My Work Connection for the bottom (private) connections. Band is set to WCDMA and GSM 1900+850. Not sure whatelse I could be doing wrong :(
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
@inked005 Your settings are exactly the same as mine. One thing you mentioned. When mine was working correctly it would sit idle on 3G and change to H when I accessed the internet. Now it seems to stay on H all the time and thats when I have the data freezes. I also have the $15 data plan. Maybe ATT is doing this?

@mazzarin Thanks for the link. I searched and found it. Its installed but I have been too busy at work to test it yet. I switch sims with another phone for work. Dont want to mess up the HD2. I'm in construction. Also thanks for the registry entry. I will definitely look into this.

@hththt No his ad is confused. The specs are wrong.
[HD2 General] inked005:
I called them about 6 times 3 of which I actually spoke with 2 different "managers" from Tier 3. They actually were intelligent which was impressive. They said its normal behavior for it to drop due to it is more of a ISP service like for tethering and thats its more then possible that snooper (their scanning app that roams the network) sees the phone with an unlocked IMEI and drops it. This actually makes some sense since thats what their system was doing when people did the iphone profile hack for tethering etc.

Idealy I would think the 3G/H switch would stay permanent but I dont understand whats making it change. Another post I just read which actually kinda makes sense says to let the radio settle in and eventually everything will work itself out, interesting theory as I have not tried the same radio for more then a day due to the massive amount of disconnects. I just flash 2.09 and did the reg edit mentioned in the previous post. Im gonna give this setup a week or more and see how things pan out. Will still continue to research a permanent fix though. I think the more I cant find the answer the more I want to keep the phone and figure it out. Unless HTC ruins the suprise for me.
[HD2 General] inked005:
and what I mean by not understanding what makes the 3G/H change is Im not sure what makes it actually stop acting like that. Instead it goes to H and freezes.
