Got the phone on the second day it was available. Upgrade from the Touch HD. Nice phone in general. The problem I ran into was Microsoft voicecommand would not announce incoming calls through the bluetooth headset no matter what changes and adjustments tried it would only announce through the phone speaker. I had this working on the Touch HD fine. Spent the entire day with T-mobile tech support which was not very helpful on matters of anything technical. Then called HTC tech support and spent about an hour and a half trying to get it to work. The answer HTC gave me was my headset was not compatable. I have three different bluetooth headsets none of which they could get to work. I asked the tech what headset HTC tested with this phone and I would gladly purchase that brand. His answer was he did not know. My answer, this does not function on this phone and was not tested. Has anyone else tried to get bluetooth caller id working and if so what were your results. I have since returned the phone till this is resolved if ever.
[HD2 General] polera257:
has anyone tried caller id announce incoming calls on their bluetooth? Am I the only one having this issue. Could someone please test this on their HD2 and let me know if it works for them.

Thanks
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
It has been a problem on the european hd2's also. Since HTC started using the widcom bluetooth stack none of the existing voice control apps (such as MSVC) are working properly. If you search around you will find a few threads about the same problems with bluetooth headsets.
[HD2 General] polera257:
Thank You very much for your answer. I was hoping that was not the case. I waited for this phone to come out and bought it right away. I use mostly basic functions, phone, voice dialing, appointments etc it was a shame I had to return it the extra features were nice to have and the screen is beautiful. Does anyone know if they are working on an answer for this???

Hi,

I tried to switch from the HTC Sense interface to the "Windows Standard" menue. Since I was missing some functionality I tried to add some panels (CComm, CHeroClock, ...) but not of them appear on my menue. Is this a problem with my German device?

Another point is that panel called "Mailbox" (which is the same as "Voicebox" in the English Version). When does something appear in this panel? When I have a call waiting in my voicebox I get a SMS and I see it in the "SMS" ´(German)/ "Text" (English) panel but not in "Mailbox"/"Voicebox"?!

Any ideas?

Interesting! I will try this, how much will the speed increase be?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enatefox:
With what I do, I barely get any slow downs unless I run a lot of apps but I have TasKiller's mini taskbar on one of my home screens and always clear things out before I do something like web browsing, Maps, or games to keep RAM clean.

I'd love an alternative to Autostarts that's free but it is truly great. Blocking listeners causes a huge boost in speed. You will see in logcat when you install an app that all these services start running in the background like Voice Dialer, TTS, etc. That's the reason installing apps seems to peg the phone for a few minutes. Not so when you block those background services.

from what i understand a large swap like that might offer some positive temporary results, but after time clogs up
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
It's bad to have a large swap and high swappiness.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enatefox:
I haven't had any issues. The swap partition hasn't clogged up or even gone under 100MB left for me yet. Your mileage may vary but it's what I set it to. What size/swappiness would you recommend then? 96MB is not enough, 128MB seemed like too close to the edge of what I need.

I need to make the OP not look like crap...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
It is better for the life of your sdcard to have a large swap....because if you allocate say only 64mb to swap...those blocks on your sdcard are constantly being written/read and the rest isn't....better to have a swap of say 256mb so that you are evening out the stress on the blocks more.

I think Wes G or Chris S said this....but that's my paraphrase of it.

Also no difference in speed between a 32mb swap and a 256mb swap. Just depends on your sdcard's class.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
60 at most 80 or 100 is to much

If we were talking about computers then swap would be same size as ram, it's better to have no swap at all then to have one

Read some of this:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Try Fireat ;)

But for purposes of speed, a large swap partition will get full eventually, and when it does, have fun trying to use your phone. It gets slower because swap has to "dig" through more files to get what you want, the more files it has to dig through, the slower it is. However, you won't notice this if you reboot often (and I guess 5% of Android users reboot daily)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domenukk:
You wont need any autokiller app as android has a very powerful inbuilt taskkiller app.

Also You can Set when to kill what apps. So it doesent matter if you have, say 8 gigabyte of swap, because You can set android to kill any app @ 7,99999 gb free space...

There are also like five different sorts of apps, from the visible one to the one thats completely empty...

So you can have e.g. 8gb for browsing and just 10mb for unneeded apps...........

How to set it was just posted in hero dev section. May post the link tomorrow...

Maybe theese options will be avaliable in spare parts of zxd, soon...

I have already played with this in my nonsense rom...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enatefox:
domenukk, I know you can set those thresholds but I don't know how to hardcode them. The best (easiest) way I found was with Auto Memory Manager but you need it to keep running in the background so might as well be more effective and use a task manager/killer app where you can actively kill unused apps I would think.

Unless you can share some info on that because I would love to know. Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedysilwady:
well i havent played with this modified eris rom im running long enough to check, but youre right abt the taskiller app included with android on donut, but i remember every eclair rom started like 5 apps randomly and wouldnt kill them...so i prefer the autokiller app

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangri:
@enatefox -- since you seem to have a broad experience with different apps (and I hope launchers) on Android, is there (preferably free) alternative to the 91Panda Hero Home? I very much like Hero-styled launcher, but 91Panda Hero Home is way too slow (slower than their newer non-Hero launcher). The GDE with the Hero theme messes the location of Phone/Menu and I keep running the wrong item.

Also, why keep using MyBackup Pro if it messes the market db over say Titanium Pro?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enatefox:
domenukk, thanks for the link. I still like manual control over the apps and services that I kill although that can help reduce the need to.

Royalknight6190, I'm just using the one King had in his last update.

stangri, I use MyBackup because it restores links to the Market but given that I've crashed things during an app restore 4x on this flash I'm getting tired of it. Didn't know another app that did that. Thanks, I'll try it out. As for Launcher replacements, if you're not going to use Rosie, my favorite is Home++ which is free and has a built in task manager/killer. It takes up only like 1MB of memory and has a lot of nice features.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enatefox:
Thanks for the home script, I knew that one but that's not going to help call time-- only Rosie. The best way is to lock com.android.phone into memory. Not really easy (that I know of) but you can renice it. There's copious scripts out there to set up renicing processes but that's the one you really want.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmlit:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Just came across this thread. I'm running a version of king's 2.1 sense rom, and overall I'm very happy with it, but there's some definite lag, especially with the phone/calls. I installed the phonerenicer app, but honestly haven't noticed a big change. Anyway, I noticed in the op that you recommend ext 2 instead of 3/4, but I'm hesitant to do this, as in the rom's thread it said you must make it ext 4 or you'll get fc's on everything...

I'm currently at ext. 4, with 128 swap size. I also moved apps and dalvik to sd. I'm pretty much a noob at most of this, so what would you recommend I change it to? From the post, it sounds like you advise ext 2 and 256 swap for ANY hero rom...so changing to these settings should improve my performance?

Also as previously posted, will just entering the 'home' command into adb be enough to complete that action?

Sorry for the noobness, any help appreciated!

echo "1536,2048,4096,5120,8192,10240" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

the trick is getting it to execute

Please don't tag it on the end of a2sd,

your best bet is to look for firstboot.sh , or an import

I know, firstboot.sh has a clever little line in it, chmod 000 /system/firstboot.sh

its pointless, the init.rc usually starts it like this

service firstboot /system/bin/sh /system/firstboot.sh
disabled
oneshot

with a

start firstboot

somewhere in the init.rc

the thing is, root will always have access to it, root doesn't care its --------

it will shell it anyway , :)

so, yeah, stick that in firstboot.sh, and while your at it you should either delete the stuff that's doing what its suppose to be avoiding, or put conditionals in it,

It made me chuckle when I read it

anyway,

grep import -A 3 /init.rc

will print and import lines, and 3 lines After ( thats the -A 3 bit )

if you find one like this

import /data/init.rc
trigger data

have a look at /data/init.rc

and add a line to the end

/system/bin/sh /system/MyOOMSettings.sh

if no /data/init.rc

then

cat > /data/init.rc << "EOF"
on data
service myoom /system/bin/sh /system/MyOOMSettings.sh
start
oneshot
EOF

you might want to put a delay in your MyOOMSettings.sh to ensure it gets ran after the init.rc has done its settings

so at the top of it,

sleep 5

will make it wait for 5 seconds , which is overkill :)

Don't look surprised. With the Windows Phone 7 Series dev tools now out in the open the pent up demand for that elusive HD2 upgrade was bound to be a priority for some well-meaning developers, somewhere... namely, Russia. Now we've got what looks to be the first screenies of the WP7S OS running on an HD2. Better yet, htcpedia claims that almost everything is working including WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth. However, the graphics driver is still showing problems and there is noticeable device lag. Nevertheless, the team is planning a beta release soon. Imagine it, an HD2 WP7S ROM available before Microsoft and its partners can even launch an official device, with its 5 buttons or not -- now that would be something.
