don't give up... i had only the blue led function a week ago, my phone is alive and kicking now... not my first one tho.... here is what i did:

I performed a SPL flash, the phone rebooted ,it took long time rebooting so i got panicked i pulled out the battery ( wasn't a smart move ).

tried to start the phone.. now i was stuck at the first splash screen.

-pulled out the battery and back again start the phone... stuck at the first splash screen or boot looping endlessly,

-did all possible key combinations to get in fastboot, recovery mode... nothing.

-cried for help, got directed to a post similar to mo my case... worked for me hope it dose for everyone else.

here is what i did (followed):

-On the PC, i ran the command 'fastboot boot recoveryimage.img'.

-At this point the command says 'waiting for device' (or something like that).

-I removed the battery.

-went to sleep

-woke up in the morning, went back to my old duct taped SE phone

-came home in the evening

-I Connected USB.

-I inserted the battery.

-I booted the phone while holding the HOME key.

-The phone still froze at the first splash screen, but then suddenly, the waiting fastboot command detected the phone and booted the recovery image!

flashed again but this time checked all steps twice before i check them a third time, and flashed the SPL and radio and the rom.

Hi

I was reading the others saying the same but i guess I just hoped mine would be able to last at least one day!!

I have even read some say a couple of days!!

I installed battlog and my phone just never seems to run at under 100mA so on my 1230mA battery you can see my problem!!, i can't seem to tell what is using that 100mA or what is running, is battlog what I should use or is their another program to help me??

my back light is set to 20%

installed WMLongLife so its always on 2G except for the whitelist such as opera/FB/Youtube etc

but on emails which are set to every 15mins its on 2G

I wanted push emails but when i set it up i found that my emails came straight through but no alert so i would have to keep looking at my phone unless someone can help with that!!

also twitter is not active, I dont use stocks automatically or weather!!

I have read LEO's tips and i just feel so far not in a million years will i get 24hrs!!

Please help

[HD2 General] MasDroid:
You might want to consider upgrading your Radio ROM version, I flashed from stock Radio ROM to 2.07 (as this was necessary to use the custom ROM I chose to install) and bettery life is really good I find, even better than version 2.08.

If you are willing to do this, please see this link.

Note: you must install HardSPL (once installed successfully, it will show as SPL: 1.42.HSPL instead of 1.42.0000 in Bootloader mode) on your HD2 to unlock it so you can install other Radio versions and custom ROMs.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Start by upgrading to the 1.66 ROM from your provider, then see what you're up to :)
[HD2 General] cd78:
As above - upgrade your radio and rom.

You wont look back! :cool:
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
i concur... upgrade rom to at least 1.66 and radio to 2.08.50.08_2

i am getting great battery life out of this radio.

with your current rom and radio i guess all you could do now is:

a) install bsb tweaks... it has a power saving option but im unsure as to what registry changes are actually made by it.

b) search these forums for battery tweaks. there are quite a few good reg changes that have been posted.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Wait at least a week as before that, your battery isn't fully conditioned, so you don't get the best out of it.
[HD2 General] UncleManuel:
If you browse internet or have the phone in constant use than it´s normal that the battery is sucked out rapidely - the display and wireless connections consumpt the most energy... ;)

One example: Surfing via Edge/3G demands 300 - 550mA (in peaks)! So it´s no miracle that the battery runs out of juice... :p ;) :D

See my log in attachment. This were 19 minutes browsing with 3G (in the middle the phone switched to Edge). I´m currently running EnergyROM 23544 with radio 2.08.50.08_2, browser is Opera Mobile 10 beta. Standby consumption should be around 9 - 18mA (I have 1% loss over night in flight mode)...
[HD2 General] MasDroid:
Also, bear in mind that the full capacity of the battery won't be reached until several charge/discharge cycles have been done when you flash to a new ROM.
[HD2 General] Chrisuk80:
I am wrong in thinking that batteries these days don't really need conditioning, even though I say that so far I am letting my battery totally die before I recharge but its like when I put it in flighmode at night to save battery it still can drop by 10%, is this normal??

thanks for your replies
[HD2 General] Chrisuk80:
Ok now that sounds like my cup of tea :)

I want what you have!!

I have only ever flashed my viewty a ton of times, put themes and such on but as always was case its a brand spanking new phone and I really do not want to mess up, I work in I.T so I have at least 2 braincells haha, but yeah, if i had some instructions to follow I could do it!!

I just want to say a BIG thanks for the replies, so fast and so much help!!

thank you!!!
[HD2 General] Clonatorul:
upgrade your rom to a newer version

It's a huge difference, at least for me between 1.48 rom and 1.66 offical rom. With 1.66 WWE and radio 2.06 my HD2 last for 2 and half days, with HSDPA always on, emails every 1 hour and moderate calls. And no other programs to save power...
[HD2 General] Chrisuk80:
Hi!!

So I have got Radio 2.07 and EnergyROM 23544 because the guy said he had only 1% drop in flight mode through the night or would you still say for me to go to 1.66 with Radio 2.07??

thanks for any help!!
[HD2 General] Clonatorul:
I prefer to use shipped ROM's with embeded radio, but is up to you to try.
[HD2 General] Chrisuk80:
Problems

Just flashed using HSPL to the energy rom

all went well and my device restarted, nice interface and at the bottom was a please wait bar increasing saying different things and then it said very fast, "restarting device" on the restart my device is stuck on the black screen with the pink circled arrow!

if i take my battery out it first goes to a screen saying energy

then into the user interface and the please wait bar at the bottom again and then it says restarting device when the bar is full and again on restart its the black screen with the circled pink arrow!!

i was meant to flash my Radio to 2.07 after it turned back on back at this stage i am thinking 1, i cant change the Radio to 2.07 and i cant even change firmware because i have to have the device with the user interface to use Active sync

thinking i could well be screwed right about now unless some very kind person tells me otherwise!!

thank you
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Hold volume down key, reset phone, hold until you're into the tricolor screen. Then plug your USB cable and flash that radio :)
[HD2 General] Chrisuk80:
Yeah that is what i thought, I am at the red green blue and white screen and at 1st it says serial at the bottom, i plug in my USB and it changes to USB but when i go to Active Sync it states that it can not find my phone!!

really struggling with this but needed to do it since i was getting about 8 or maybe 10hrs out of my battery!!

thanks for the fast reply
[HD2 General] Chrisuk80:
Seems i did not actually need active sync to say connected, i just clicked the radio update when at the multi coloured screen so now i am on radio 2.07 and back to my phone restarting, lets hope this time it will restart!!

oj so i waited until my phone restarted before to post!!

it restarted with the radio 2.07 and the EnergyROM 23544 but still the same, when my phone loads into the user interface all looks nice witht he bar please wait at the bottom but when the phone restarts on its own it just gets stuck on the black screen, the red writting at the bottom about the radio version just never shows, then if i take the battery out the same process starts!!

any suggestions please??
[HD2 General] Ymzee:
HELP. HTC HD2 battery lasts only 9 hours

Hi,

My battery runs out very fast. I use ROM 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR

Radio version 2.06.51.07.

I try minimizing the 3g use, wlan is off, BT is off, no programs in the task manager... I have tried it all, but with no luck.

The battery power disappears rapidly.... Any suggestions?
[neoTouch S200 General] mastroido:
Hello. I have a problem with my s200: when TomTom is running there are problems with message interface and phone interface. Also battery is dragging very fast.

I think it is a rom problem, i want to use one cooked with manila and some useful tricks, but i'm confused about the right rom to take for have good stability, i use the acer for business matters, and i have no times to try and change roms in next days.... is a "the choice is good choice" matter.

Can you help me?

Sorry for the english.
[neoTouch S200 General] mspock:
what rom are you using atm ?

And : why everybody asks for manila while it's unstable ? I'd rather like a bullet-proof-STABLE and LIGHT rom instead of an unstable or missing-dlls rom !!! By the way , I'm using rafyvitto's red last beta rom ....quite unstable , wake up issues , htc's contact list not so happy with ...
[neoTouch S200 General] Arto:
my arto's sense 1.6 build 21895 is the most stable of my roms, it's all what I can say you..
[neoTouch S200 General] mastroido:
In this moment i have OS CE 5.2.21857 (build 21857.5.0.66) original Acer, i don't remember when i've adjourned it, i think around february.

I know there is a new official ROM, but i would evaluate a custom rom if it is better.

@Arto

thanks for the hint
[neoTouch S200 General] :
You cant have wake up issues with my rosso relativo beta it has the 3.003X oem drivers.
[neoTouch S200 General] mspock:
Well ,unfortunately I had them . Anyway , it could be related to spb mobile shell I used . I'll test through it .

UPDATE : I've tried Arto's rom , it's gorgeous and the fastest tried . I also like top windows bar , not the bottom one BUUUUUT I've serious problems with sms management . It just hangs everytime I access it , viewing in traditional mode or entering in "one sms view " .

I've tried netnerd one : apart from my personal feeling that's full of useless things and it's lacking , for example , the input option , I find it quite slow and not fluid. I'm testing now its stability .

I would like to underline that this forum's full of people who spend their time and their efforts to make our device better day after day . I'd be more than happy to donate some cash to the maker of a rom I would be happy with , but unfortunately at the moment I can't find any suitable , stable , light , fast rom to stay with .
[neoTouch S200 General] :
Flash a OEM rom and you will have the rom you want.
[neoTouch S200 General] unforseenenemy:
You never mentioned trying my ROM :-D
[neoTouch S200 General] mspock:
ahaha...that's true. I haven't tried it yet.

anyway what rafy said is not so true. and well I was only givin' an advice to whom asked for it. I gave a personal opinion of what is out there and I've tried .Rafy's only a beta one so it's normal for it to have some problem. I didn't try UFE's rom but I'll be happy to do it.

thanjs
[neoTouch S200 General] :
I called it a beta only because i dint finished the Skinning part of the rom.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skodann:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gnarlytom:
should be OK, if you can still get to the boot loader screen, you should be fine.

just try flashing a new ROM, or better, a stock ROM

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Gastro Man:
Hello all! I look forward to filling my brain with info about how to trick my diamond out to the max. I'm not new to installing apps and roms. The phone I owned up until last week was the Siemens SX66 (aka HTC Blue Angel). Had it for 5 years. It met it's demise about a week ago by falling out of my pocket and falling from the 2nd floor balcony to the concrete ground on the 1st floor.....END OF PHONE. Decided to stay within the HTC series, as I think they are a great phone maker. I searched around for a mixture of budget vs. quality. Didn't care if I had the newest model of a phone, only that it was "smart" enough for how I like to play with them. I had done MANY rom flashes and app adds to my sx66, so I'm very familiar with doing that stuff. I searched on EBay for about a week and ran across a phone dealer that sells demo model phones for used prices. Sure enough, he was selling a touch diamond (1) floor demo model for $175.00. I snatched that puppy up QUICK. When it arrived, the phone condition was FLAWLESS. Not a scratch, not even a fingerprint was on it. Still had the original factory screen protector on the screen! Came in the original box with ALL accessories and documentation. He could have sold this phone as NEW and no one would have known the difference, except for the absence of shrink wrap on the box. Anyways, I look forward to tricking this phone out. It came with wm 6.1 installed. There's something called a HARDspl that I have to install before flashing it? Gotta learn about THAT first. Don't even know what that is. Also, just ordered a 2850mah extended life battery, included with a modified battery cover. That's TWICE the battery staying power of the (already extended) 1340mah battery that came with the phone. Got it for 13 BUX on EBay! I hit ALL the good deals for this phone. Anyways, please feel feel to hit me up with any advice, tips or suggestions you might have for me regarding the phone. I'd appreciate any advice I can get!

Hey Gastro,

Welcome to the world of Diamond modding. I've had a cdma diamond since launch and I still love it. It's getting close to its end of life so I might be moving on shortly but for now it's still my baby.

Like you mentioned, first thing you have to do is the hardspl, once you do that it opens it up to all the rom flashing that your hear desires. You'll have to try a few different ones out to see what you like. The diamond comes loaded with wm6.1 which I'm sure you'll soon upgrade to 6.5 or 6.5.x. I run a custom cooked 6.5.x. rom. You'll learn the differences between the different wm versions as well as the differnt versions of touchflo or the newer sense builds. Feel free to ask me any questions about flashing, modding, cooking roms whatever I'm pretty comfortable with all those things. Anyway good luck and I hope you love the phone as much as I do.

When I watch normal movies in SD resolution (mostly XviD) the playback isn't 100% smooth. I'm using CorePlayer and when I do a benchmark I about 105%.

On my old Samsung i780 it was never a problem watching movies and the benchmarks always got at least 150%.

I've been told that this is because bad video drivers on the TP2. Is this correct? And is it possible to fix this?

Or are there better players than CorePlayer?

I dont want to convert the files to lower resolution/quality or something like that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
You can try the drivers found in THIS thread...they seemed to improve playback for me in the divx player, though I've not tried coreplayer yet. But, I still think the TP2 still seems to lack a little bit in this area.

(and despite the title of the thread, they're actually OpenGL drivers, not D3D, as explained later in the thread)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
I already have that driver installed and it helps a lot in the demo but haven't really noticed any difference in any real program. And not in CorePlayer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Understood, just wanted to make sure you knew about them :)

The only other thing I might suggest is switching off TF3D before playing the vid, I don't know if it'll help, but it's worth a try.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
Already running vanilla WM so no luck there either :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sholokov:
TCPMP GF5500 Edition

I am using Core player/TCPMP GF5500 Edition. But instead of using DirectDraw, I am using GDI settings.

Follow this: Options -> Video -> GDI

And then this: Options -> Settings -> Select Page -> DirectDraw -> and select option 2 and 3

This should work for you on TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
Doesnt work for me. With GDI I get 54% in benchmark and with DD I only get 25%.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dbriese:
Coreplayer uses Qtv drivers, or their version of them, because htc has custom ones for the qualcomm processor. Therefore it is not as good as another device which has access to good drivers for its video accelerator. The best video player for the phone is the Album program from HTC, it uses the real Qtv drivers and i always get really good framerate with MP4s. I mean, as far as i know this is the case. Make sure your coreplayer version has the Qtv driver, use it instead of GDI or DD, or it will be bad quality.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
Yes, I use Qtv but that only gets right above 100% in benchmark which means it will not be smooth playback all the time. Not the end of the world, but still annoying since my old phone played all my files perfectly with CorePlayer.

Album is not an option since I dont even have that installed and I dont want to convert all videos to mp4.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] oisact:
Album also doesn't remember the play position per video file, so playback always starts at the beginning of the video. Even my Blackberry would at least resume each video wherever I stopped it the last time it was played.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dbriese:
well unfortunately, until HTC allows access to the Qtv drivers, which will be never, coreplayer will not be very good. ive made peace with that and am gonna jump onto the HD2 later this month.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
Too bad. But wont the HD2 be as bad as any other HTC phone at video playback? Ok, it has a faster CPU so maybe it will be good anyway, but the driver problem remains I guess?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fin9ers:
Have you tried messing with the buffer settings?

Menu->Tools->Settings->Select Page->Buffering

This helped. But is still a bit laggy.

Strange though... just ran a benchmark on an xvid and it was in super slow motion :confused: 62.69% speed. But plays fine when i play video normally

Anyways,

I have buffer setting like this:

Normal buffer size - 6400kb

preload at underrun - 70%

Preload for audio - 6400kb

Low delay streaming - unchecked

Microdrive mode - Checked

Microdrive buffer size - 16000kb

Microdrive starts at - 6400kb

I get fairly good playback. Little laggy when it comes to fast passed videos. But overall its watchable IMHO

but every benchmark i do on any avi xvid still get same results...

when i watch normally its fine. just does the super slow motion thing when i benchmark

We should compare our results using the same video. Which video should we choose?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fin9ers:
im currently watching 'Callifornication Se03E01' :)

I'll check my settings, run a benchmark and post them shortly

Edit: Scratch that!!!! I've sorted it!

Changed buffer settings.

IT PLAYS FLAWLESSLY!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
I'm downloading Californication.S03E01.DVDSCR.XviD-FFNDVD now, gonna do a benchmark on that one when it's done. About a minute long from the start.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
Benchmarked 02:12.507 from the beginning and got 125%.

Edit: Never seen that show before. It seems to be "interesting" :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dbriese:
The HD2 shouldnt have these issues because its a totally different processor and has a dedicated AMD/ATI GPU.

On my TP2 i get between 112%-125% and just over 100% watching high quality large res tv shows, and so i resort to the album cause at least its smooth watching 30 Rock!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
I've read that Album only supports mp4. Does that mean .mp4-files or MPEG4 coded files like XviD?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dbriese:
Im not sure most all my video files work, and what doesnt will usually work with coreplayer. I download a lot of videos (from youtube :P) with a little prog called W.V.D. and the HQ downloads are in mp4 format and i watch a lot of those. music vids n such.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
Can you test on a xvid video? Download any XviD SD resolution from The Pirate Bay.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dbriese:
eek, yeah xvid didnt work too well. 106% bench...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
Can you test it in HTC Album?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fin9ers:
I dont think HTC album plays avi's...

Serious though, change buffer settings:

Normal buffer size - 64000kb

Soft reset after changing these settings.

doesnt work so well when you benchmark. but playing an avi normally, its flawless
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djr83:
Do I really need to soft reset? I've tried without soft reseting and normal play is not flawless.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fin9ers:
Actually.....

I think its to do with how much memory is being used.

After a soft reset (44% memory in use) and firing up CorePlayer straight away it plays flawlessly.

but if its around 55%+ its a bit jerky
