Ok so I am happy to report that either the combination of the REG edit and the new 2.09 radio have resolved my issue, I also added wireless.cingular.com as a proxy in the connections menu for the MediaNET connection and set the SOCKS proxy to local host.

After this I went into Opera and set the Proxy config for it to use the HTTP proxy of the MediaNET connection. I did this because someone else said they had issues with disconnects ONLY when they used opera, if they used everything else but that they did not have any issues.

I am going to remove the REG edit first to see if this is the ACTUAL resolution of the disconnect issue or not. Also another thing I have noticed is that between doing these 3 things the phones battery SUCKS. But this could be due to the new radio getting flashed so I will give this atleast a couple of charges before I blame either the radio or the REG edit.

But this without doubt has solved my issue. I will post later tonight exactly which fix it is, either being the Opera proxy one or the REG edit.
[HD2 General] inked005:
and by my issue I mean i have a solid HSDPA connection uninterrupted all day long.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Why did you add the proxy? Just curious as there should be no benefit using the cingular proxy. If anything it will cause some things not to work from what I understand. Like weather and the pre-installed youtube application.

So far I just flashed the new radio. Just put my sim back in the phone for the weekend. For the last half hour it has stayed on H. I am turning my email updates back on and see what happens.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
As soon as i posted my phone went idle to 3G. I went to the internet with opera and it changed to H. Closed opera and its back to 3G. This is how it is supposed to be I believe. At least this is how my phone behaved when it didnt give me any data freezes for weeks.
[HD2 General] inked005:
I added the proxy because I read on another post where a dude was having the same problems as us but what he did was left everything else on except he didnt use opera at all. By doing this he ended up having no issues at all with freezes. Also my weather and youtube have been working for the past 18 hours without issue or drops or freezes.

My phone is not doing what yours is though by going to H when using the internet and then dropping to idle when not. Also did you flash the radio with the SIM out? if so did you flash it with it out then put it back in after the reboot or shut it down then put it back in?

The only major issue im still having is my battery is draining like crazy so im gonna disable the reg edit right now, test it for a couple of hours and see what happens. If I get no drops then i'll get rid of the proxy and see how that goes. Ill report back what happens.

Wish I could figure out how to get it to do the 3G/H swap. Pretty sure my battery is being destroyed due to H being solid all day.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
I flashed mine yesterday with the sim out. Just put sim in today. My phone sat here on my desk on wall charge for a few hours with no data freezes. I disconnected the cable and it fell aslleep. I took a little nap and checked the phone when I woke up. Data frozen again. And it was on 3G! So being stuck on H was not a factor. Moving my phone around the 3G bars are changing so the signal is not frozen but nothing will connect. Except for calls and text messaging. So the new radio did not fix the issue.

I guess I will try the reg edit.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Reg edit did not work. When phone fell asleep the connection immediately froze. So it has something to do with standby. I'm lost now.
[HD2 General] inked005:
12 hours in with just proxy and new radio :)
[HD2 General] inked005:
The issues lies with Opera nothing else. Opera's connection isnt closing properly so its dropping the whole phones data connection. After I added the proxy to Opera's settings my issue was resolved. I removed them for an hour and my connection dropped within 20 minutes of using Opera. There maybe other things that are causing this but using AT&T as a proxy for my HTTP access has corrected my issue without doubt.

This also coincides with AT&T stating that HSDPA is more of a laptop/tethering service for them. They don't consider this to be a full MOBILE data solution yet. If I run my phone through a proxy for all web access it assumes my phone is a laptop and doesn't close the connection incorrectly.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Unfortunately I have to disagree with you on that 1. HSPA has nothing to do with tethering. It should not be causing the drops. But it may be ATT. I connect on the medianet $15 plan. That is for apn wap.cingular. PDA and tethering plans are apn isp.cingular. I have 2 ATT full feature phones that connect and stay connected to H (3G+) without issues on the medianet wap.cingular connection. However they do go through the proxy. But the proxy degrades web pages and downloaded pics. Makes them faster.

I have been doing some reading and other winmo phones have had dropped connection issues for years when using the cheaper medianet (used to be mediaworks plan). ATT might be detecting our phone somehow as a winmo pda. Others in the past that paid for the higher data isp.cingular plan then stopped having the dropped connections. I know for a fact that ATT is able to know when someone is using a nexus one with the medianet plan and have started to make people upgrade their plan.

On other notes I have been doing some experimenting today. Soft resetting my phone and allowing it to go to standby without using opera has still caused by connection to drop. So I dont believe opera is my issue.

Once early today my phone went to 3G but my connection dropped anyways. It was on H most of the day. 2 hours ago I went to my weather tab and changed my update from 1 hour to 30 minutes. My phone immediately went back to 3G on idle again. I connected to opera and it went to H then went back to 3G. I clicked on send/receive for my email and it went to H while connecting and immediately went back to 3G. Updated weather manually and it did the same. Phone has been setting idle in standby for over an hour. I woke it up and connection is still good and goes back to 3G when idle.

Might be in my phone something was buggy with weather and changing the update time reset it. Not sure. Only been 2 hours. Went 3 weeks before without data freezing. Will see if it lasts all night. I have a friend with the t8585 and if he has more than 1 weather location it causes his phone to freeze. Also both him and I cannot connect to the preinstalled youtube app when using wifi if the proxy is enabled. Setting the proxy in the network connections also sets a proxy for the installed youtube app for some reason. If you install the youtube app from google it works fine with wifi and the proxy.
[HD2 General] rodrigofd:
Just wanted to add something to this extremely frustrating story ....

I suspect this issue has to do with our T9193 HD2s supporting only ONE of two UMTS bands.. even though it might not make sense for some of you:

i've been trying all possible workarounds.. tried ALL radios.. ALL ROMs stock/cooked... all connection settings... mail to auto or manual, i don't use opera.. etc etc... (btw. i am not from ATT, i'm from Argentina, but issues i suffer are identycal to yours)...

But then i remembered, some months ago , i was using Samsung Omnia I8000, european version, which is UMTS tri-band (900/1900/2100).. as it only supports '1900' american 3G band,.. i could partially use it here in my country... but it had THE SAME ISSUES REPORTED HERE WITH T9193 and ATT.

I can't think it is just mere coincidence.. i had both phones for daily usage, and i experienced exact issues... i tested my carrier service with other phones, at the same time and place, without issues (other HTC older phones)... so it wasn't simply a carrier issue...

The main problem here is that we can't go and complain our carrier or HTC or Telstra, as no one said to us to safely buy it, or that it 'would be fully compatible' ... :(....

my point here, though i don't want to resignate and give up yet, is that it might simply don't be a configuration setting that fixes this...
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Well my issue was that it was good for over 3 weeks. Then it turned to 2 dropping twice a day. Then everytime my phone fell asllep. I think most people without a data plan would appreciate it. But I have all the data I need and wish to use it. But since last night just switching my weather update from 1 hour to every 30 minutes it has been good since. Knock on wood. It was totally wierd that after not seeing the 3G symbol for weeks it then came back when phone was idle. Just by applying the settings. Maybe something was stuck for the weather updates. And changing something just reset it. Who knows. Truly a mystery.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
FIX: Update weather more often ;)

**Note: Completely untested

P.S. When your connection locks up, can't you just do what I do, swipe down, hit the data button, and click disconnect? Or does that not work? (Yes I know we shouldn't have to do that, but still!)
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Well everything was great for 36 hours. Phone fell back on 3G when idle and went to H when I connected or an app connected to the net. Then I received a mms message and after it downloaded there went the data. :mad:
[HD2 General] lude219:
I can't say I'm experiencing the same problem. If it's on WCDMA mode, it'll fixed onto H no matter what. Even with limited data visibility, I'd still get 1 bar of "H" (sometimes no bar but still on HSPA) and the only time I will be bump down to 3G is if i'm no longer in an HSPA zone/area. There's a stretch of highway on my way home from work that's right between two steep mountains...and everytime i drive by there, my HSPA data would be downgrade to 3G data (solid 4 bars).

Using Dutty's HG 0.8

2.07 radio
[HD2 General] inked005:
so basically if it is set to Auto instead of WCDMA then the phone should bounce between both and not have any issues
[HD2 General] rookie_aus:
I received an HD2 as an insurance replacement after I broke my HD :) and it only took a few hours until I got frustrated with Telstra ROM :mad: . Telstra Internet setting is locked and I can't change it to allow me to access my Exchange E-mails. :confused:

So I went to HTC Pedia and grabbed Dutty's ROM for HD2. Now its working brilliant. :D
[HD2 General] inked005:
rookie: That does what for people having issues with HSDPA exactly?
[HD2 General] rookie_aus:
Thought this is a general forum for anyone who has Telstra ROM..... so for me I recommend change of ROM will fix it....

No drop out in data... always has 3G or H on my bar... sync with Microsoft exchange server... e-mail always coming... gps connection is superb and can get signal even when inside my room... can change band settings... more freedom :D
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Dang Australians and their solid NextG network. We'll get you next time!

Oh wait, I'm not really having the dropout issues that badly either. Hurrah!
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
3G and H are both WCDMA. G and E are GSM.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
@ Rookie. We have all, already dumped the telstra rom. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Here in Canada the Telus 3G coverage is pretty solid.

I only ever lose signal in the data center where I work.

Official HD2 T9193 (Telstra 850Mhz)

can someone give me setting for Rogers Canada,on t9193.im not able to conecting to internet.thanks
[HD2 General] Bakedbread:
Hey rang,

I'm also using the T9193 under Rogers Canada.

Kinda weird how your internet isnt working, cause on my first bootup, it detected Rogers automatically and I instantly had a 3G connection.

I flashed to the 1.66 WWE ROM right after and had no problems either.

My baseband options under "phone" are set to "WCDMA" and "Auto".

Usually get full 3G bars and whenever data is used the icon switches to "H" for HSDPA
[HD2 General] darrengladysz:
Htc hd2 for Canada

Just wanted to post a quick note for anyone in Canada interested in purchasing the htc hd2 for use in Canada on Rogers, Fido or Telus. This should also work for Att USA.

As you probably know by now you need the Telstra T9193 model as the others won't get 3g data or won't work at all. The t-mobile and the t8585 won't work on Telus and/or won't give you 3g data on Rogers.

I just picked one up for $661 AU on Ebay Australia. This works out to about $607 usd or $618 cnd. Shipping should set you back about $60 au or so and this is 4-8 day service. A few more $ can get it within 2-3 days.

Prices are edging down to the $750 au with buy it now. From what I gather the phone is free on a 3 year plan over ther on account of the costs of the plan at $80 au per month ! So you can get some good deals on almost new items!

For your search and bidding, go direct to ebay.com.au and search for htc hd2 t9193. This will give you all the listings and a much wider search than ebay.com. Ebay.com or ebay.ca search will only give you the listings where the sellers have indicated US or Canada as a shipping location. I found most sellers are willing to ship to US or Canada if you pay by paypal, just be sure to ask. Also, make sure to pay by paypal as your entire purchase price, including shipping is most likely covered by paypal. BTW most sellers that include US or Canada as a shipping destination charge a premium of a few $100. Lastly, be wary of scams and look at feedback. Some are less than 10 and the price seems too good to be true.

Just be careful that you get the tesltra branded one(this is your safest bet). Look at the sd card and it should be 16gb. Be cautious if it is 2gb or 8gb as this is most likely not a t9193 but a t8585.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] inked005:
so I have my band settings set to auto and still connecting opera via the proxy and havent had any data issues at all in 36 hours. It also is now also going between 3G and H when data is being used and not used. Finally happy to say this thing is working correctly.

Has anyone else been playing with their HD2 with the upgraded Telstra ROM?

I flashed it this morning and my HD2 seems to have better battery life (very slightly), but one of my new pet peeves is that it is now notifying me every time I send an SMS message that it has been sent. I didn't mind this occuring for the rare occasion that I would send an MMS, but for every SMS it is driving me insane.

I am hoping that it will fix the problem of my device freezing up after it receives a message every now and then. I doubt it, I understand it's a possible hardware problem, but I'm still hoping.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
You can disable sms notification by going to settings when you're in the messaging window.
[HD2 General] aenimal:
Just curious, who's your wireless provider? The original Telstra ROM did not work for me on AT&T Wireless in the US (although I think it did for some people).

There's a setting in Messaging somewhere that disables SMS send notification.

I couldn't find one for MMS. Couldn't find a registry tweak either. Does anyone know how to disable MMS send notification?
[HD2 General] reconace:
Sorry about the noob question but I have updated to the new Telstra ROM. I haven't noticed any difference to the original. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the change log?

Cheers
[HD2 General] javajunkie80:
My delivery report for SMS is turned off. There is nothing else to suggest that I can turn off the notification. Not for SMS or MMS. The only things ticked are 'use unicode when necessary' and 'disconnect from network after sending/recieving messages'.

No other options are ticked. I don't request delivery reports or read reports. This is simply the notification from the phone that it has successful sent a message. I have disabled the sound of course, but the notification still pops up.

Am I missing something?
[HD2 General] romeashj:
damn i thought the rom update would get rid of all the telstra stuff, as it said it was a "generic software update". that sucks, why would i update to keep all the telstra crap.
[HD2 General] sh1nob1:
I attempted to HSPL my T9193 but i keep receving an error and i began reading the orignal HSPL thread. So the current version does not support T9193 is that correct? Is there any way to get a hold of the older version? Then I attempted to reflash with an original HTC rom 1.66 via Activesync USB but i keep receiving an error as well "ERROR: 294 Invalid Vender ID" I really just want a rom without all the telstra bloatware does anyone have any suggestions or ideas please help :(
[HD2 General] pablo11:
Can you guys confirm a couple of things for me please

a) does the new Telstra rom have Navipanel included?

b) is the Manila version 2.5.20121431.1 ? I ask for confirmation because the other new 1.7x roms all have the old Manila.
[HD2 General] Bakedbread:
Question for any HD2 T9193 users in Canada (using Rogers)

Has anyone been able to get the Wifi router working?

When i set up the Wifi router, it gives me 2 options for Internet connection:

1) Rogers Media

2) Rogers Internet

If i select Rogers internet, my laptop cant detect the HD2 wifi router

If i select Rogers Media, my laptop CAN detect the HD2 wifi router and CAN connect. But when I try browsing the internet, it doesnt work.

Are there specific settings that i need to change? (possibly registry)?

Or are there tethering policies with Rogers that I am unaware of?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

[HD2 General] pablo11:
Thanks mate. Does it have Navipanel in the Windows directory?
[HD2 General] ahammet:
sms notification

I've just discovered this too. Damn. Sms notification tab doesn't work
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
There is a HSPL2 that might work for your new rom. It does multiple SPL's.
[HD2 General] pablo11:
Discovered what exactly?

Can someone let me know if navipanel is included in this rom? I want to pull it apart but I prefer to have navipanel in base rom.
[HD2 General] ahammet:
Sorry guys. In a follow up to this message, i have found the same annoying things with the SMS notification on sending SMS. I have tried almost every option, including modified reg key, etc. The SMS hotfix off the htc site isn't compatible with this new rom either, and i do not want to have to try and load someone else's cooked rom, because it is a work phone

(heavily modifed with apps tho). Adam
[HD2 General] laglessserf:
I know this doesn't help you much. I've flashed the rom away from the Telstra and wifi routing works with my Fido 3G.
[HD2 General] rookie_aus:
For those who are rude :mad: ..... not sure why people here are so...... anyway as for me I'm enjoying my phone with NO PROBLEM at all and just sharing what I did with MY OWN PHONE. So if it does not work with you TOO BAD. :p
[HD2 General] foney:
Use HSPL (the original) version, not HSPL2 and you can flash roms on the phone. Telstra original version had 1.42 spl, so its fine for the older HSPL.

HSPL2 doesnt support the Telstra model yet, hence the invalid Vendor ID. The next version / release of this is coming and should support Telstra HD2s
[HD2 General] pablo11:
Fair enough :)
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Ah, didn't know that, good tip.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
You can always flash your phone back to the original telstra rom. That should restore your spl so you could again install HSPL.
[HD2 General] javajunkie80:
re: Navipanel

I'm not 100% what it is, but I don't think it does. There is nothing on the phone called that...not even remotely.

Telstra version comes with Whereis Maps so I'm guessing Navipanel may be overkill for them PLUS they may not gain the revenue they do with Whereis Maps which is partly owned/operated by Telstra...I think?

Forgive me if that's wrong. Like I said, not 100% sure what Navipanel is as this thread is the first time I've heard of it.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
navipanel is the application or menu when connected through the car kit.
[HD2 General] lantern20:
My T9193 is arriving later today. I just want to make sure that I have everything down so I can get up and running quickly! I've read through all the pages in the thread! (that's a lot of pages!)

After unboxing and starting up for the first time this is my plan.

1. HSPL (the original, not HSPL2) after verifying the original SPL is 1.42.000 (is there any chance that it will have a different version of SPL?)

2. I guess I'll flash to a newer radio? Agoattamer or anyone else, Do you have any suggestions? I'm in northeast PA, above Allentown, so not too far from where you list your location.

3. Flash a new ROM. I see the recommended is the SEA version. What about the official HTC release (1.66.405.2) or a Custom? I was looking at Miri V11 and NRG 23554.

I absolutely hate flashing or connecting to a PC. So, I don't hardly ever do it. I am using a WinXP machine and have installed Activesync 4.5 to install HSPL, after that, I'll be flashing everything from the sd card.

Once I connect the HD2 to the computer and do a guest connection to Activesync, can I just run HSPL or do I need to create a real pairing with AS?

Any other tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks, this is a great thread!!!

Mine has 1.42.000 and yes it has to be HSPL, not SPL2.

I understand that I need to contact Brightstar Logistics in Australia to get my phone repaired, but I'm having a terrible time getting hold of them! They do not answer their phone and won't respond to my phone messages or emails. HTC USA can't support this Australian phone. I need help! Has anyone in the US successfully had their HD2 repaired? :(
