[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
imo... its definately a network issue....Which carrier are you using?

i have HD2's on Vodafone and T-Mobile (both UK) and do not have any of the issues i had previously with Orange (didnt have HD2's at that time though so maybe its just unbranded HD2's on Orange?)
[HD2 General] Toss3:
The same carrier I used on my Touch HD and had no problems with(Saunalahti). Going to try the new 2.09 radio and see if that solves my issues.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Which country?

It would be helpful to actually post some details!

Like i said above... it could be the HD2 on your particular network that has an issue.

I really dont think its a handset problem as if it was literally everyone with an HD2 would be going legal!

Ive been using HD2's since Novemeber 2009 and havent encountered any of the problems described in this thread.
[HD2 General] Toss3:
My HD2 is switching networks and dropping calls whenever it feels like it. Currently using HSDPA only with GSM + UMTS. I'm guessing my problem is more related to the switching of bands than anything else. Why it would loose its connection from one second to the next is beyond me, but this is a known problem.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Thats a slightly different issue to the OP. Your problem does indeed sound like it is down to band switching. There are a few threads on these forums about this as you already know.
[HD2 General] Toss3:
I know, but I think the underlying problem is still the same - I've had plenty of calls dropped even when having full bars. Could be a carrier problem, but due to the amount of people having similar issues I'd say it's a hardware/software problem.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
with the band switching issue im unsure... i dont have the problem on any HD2 so i cant possibly comment what the cause could be.

But the OP in this thread has other issues unrelated to to the band switching problem... voicemail notifications delivered late... calls being missed due to phone not even ringing etc... these are NOT related to dropped calls caused by band switching. Im 99.99% sure they are network problems having seen the exact same issues on the exact same network myself.
[HD2 General] Toss3:
You're probably right and as a user of the same network you probably know better than I. Was just trying to be helpful. :)
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Maybe he has both problems? shoddy network service AND the band switching issue?

who knows as he hasnt posted back?! :-)
[HD2 General] ian.hennam:
What's interesting though is that we've previously had HTC Touch Diamond 2s, Touch Pros, iPhones (although only a couple) and standard Nokia boggo handsets with the same provider (Orange UK) with no problems.... It's only the HD2s that seem to be affected by these problems... :confused:

I'm not sure if it's a band switching issue... is this where it drops from 3G to GSM (or the HDthingy half way between!)? I have noticed the phone drop from full 3G to the H symbol at times for no apparent reason... :(
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
er... you do know that H is faster then 3G right?

Its goes like this: HSPA>3G>GPRS>No data/only GSM

I assumed that you knew this if you were supposed to be supporting mobiles for your company.

If you have only 1 bar of HSDPA/HSUPA it is still faster then 4 bars of 3G.

Also... i sort of got at this in a previous post but the Orange network does not like it if you use handsets on their network that are not bought directly from Orange themselves. Your story is oh so familiar to me.

What i would suggest you try with one or two handsets is flashing them with an official Orange ROM for HD2. This firmware must be floating about somewhere as i do believe Orange have the HD2 on their books.
[HD2 General] ian.hennam:
I don't support the phones, I just set 'em up and give 'em out... I'm a broadcast engineer who supports IT and Radio broadcast studios, not mobile telephones... as I said in my original post, I am on call with an HD2, which is a company phone and is dropping/missing calls... I just came on here to see if it's a known problem with HD2s, and if there's a solution, or if it's likely to be something with the network (Orange) which we may be able to jump up and down about and get them to resolve... :)

I had remembered it the wrong way around with HSPA and 3G, so thank you for clearing that up for me... :)

Is the band switching issue when it swaps between each then?
[HD2 General] ian.hennam:
nobody else got any ideas?
[HD2 General] ian.hennam:
*tumbleweed passes....*
[HD2 General] hammermedia:
I'm having similar issues on AT&T in the US. My callers get a fast busy after my phone rings a couple of times. It does not forward to voicemail. I have to force the phone to GSM then call the person back. UNACCEPTABLE.

Sometimes they get "all circuits are busy" message too.

Did you ever geta solution? My 3 year old x7500 is a better phone than this HD2 is at this point.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
They probably won't tell you what equipment they have in your area (due to security reasons) but if they have Motorola based cellsites, then you're going to get these issues as the radio equipment struggles to pass from GSM to 3G and back again.
[HD2 General] Mark Crouch:
You are not alone........

I don't think this problem is necessarily restricted to Orange; my company had the same problem when rolling out un-branded Touch Pro devices to our users....and we're on the O2 network in the UK.

Our users experienced exactly the same symptoms - calls dropping, unable to answer calls before the other end hung up, etc...

It wasn't until we installed a ROM update from HTC on all the handsets that the problems....um, lessened...they got better but were still present at a much lower level than before.

I think that one poster has already suggested trying a different radio (i.e. the bit that actually handles the calls/band switching etc.), which is separate to the software (version 1.66.xxx in your case). There may be an HTC ROM update on their site - these usually include software and radio updates in one. You can find your current radio version by going to Settings | About Phone | Software Information - it's listed as "Radio Version" (and the latest is somewhere around 2.10.xxx - taken from a T-Mobile US HD2 I think).

When networks brand the HTC handsets, they also test the various radio ROM's on their networks, before loading a (suitably bloated) software ROM and known-working radio ROM onto the devices before shipping. This, in most cases, is something you can try loading on your unbranded devices - not so here, since Orange never released the HD2 in the UK (ok, don't shoot me - they did release it in very small quantities on their business tariff before pulling it due to "issues found in testing"), so they sure as **** didn't release an updated ROM for the device.

Your best bet, if you can't find an HTC ROM update later than 1.66 (which I don't think there is...yet), is to get involved with this forum in the Leo section. Learn about flashing a new HSPL and then try some other radio ROMs to see if any of them solve your particular problem. You'll have to devote a day to reading/learning before you get down and dirty with a handset....unless you have a few of these £500quid beasties you don't mind turning into paperweights!! Only trouble with this route is, once you've found a radio that works on Orange (and doesn't rinse your battery in two hours!), you're gonna have to repeat the HSPL/radio update process on 100 handsets, then re-install/re-configure each and every one. :eek:

Not a very inviting prospect (we "only" had 45 handsets to do!), but the end justifies the means. The HD2 is a marvellous handset - I know, I've got one (on T-Mobile UK ;)) and I wouldn't be without it.

Keep posting any questions/thoughts.....we'll be here to offer our "useful insights" and "helpful suggestions" as long as you can take it!!!

Good luck!!!

Mark.
[HD2 General] ian.hennam:
Thanks Mark, That's really helpful... :cool:

So far we've worked out that turning off the 3G makes them into pretty usable telephones, but obviously means that they're not exactly quick when it comes to anything other than speech based communications... but at least we're not getting yelled at for missing calls now though! :D

We're on Radio version 2.06.51.07 It's interesting to note that Orange only released these phones for a short time and pulled them due to "issues found in testing"... I guess we'll have to see if we can get a newer radio version and have a play to see what we can find...

Thanks for the info anyway, much appreciated... :)
[HD2 General] Mark Crouch:
Glad to help (?) :)

Let us know how you get on with changing radios - it's a bit hit and miss sometimes; you might get a radio that's great for all forms of cellular communication but really bad on power consumption such that the battery barely lasts a day - other times, the battery life is excellent, but the calls/data aspect is as bad as you're experiencing now.

When you try a new radio, use it for 2-3 days in different situations and (if possible) in different signal areas; you need that long to get an accurate-ish picture of the performance. There's no such thing as "the best radio" - it's always a case of what's good for one user won't necessarily be good for another....i.e. "YMMV" :)

Fingers crossed you find yourself a solution!!

Cheers,

Mark.
[HD2 General] hammermedia:
Still bad

I tried 5 radios so far with varying success. It seems I'll stick with 2.10 since it's most recent and it switches down to Edge quicker than the 2.07 I had.

My issue still shows up on 5 bars of "H". I tried to dial voicemail and heard two sentences very clear then nothing. Inbound wise, 2 rings then the caller heard fast busy - no voicemail and I couldn't answer. Then I got the antenna with no signal then "G" then a minute later "E".

If "E" would let a phone call come through while it's transfering data I could survive but if I can't find a solution I'm going back to my x7500. I need a phone not a tiny NetBook.

It is a phone ? right ?
[HD2 General] StarLog:
HAving the same problem in Orlando Florida USA.

So many dropped cals inthe middle of a conversation.
[HD2 General] Dexter_Morgan:
I'm on Orange UK, unbranded HD2 1.66.

This is happeneing to me. My signal is all over the place. I have my phone set to vibrate and kept missing calls. I started setting it to full vilume but kept missing them.

On several occasions I have had calls drop mid conversation.

This and the stupid jittery screen while I'm browsing is starting to grind. Move the screen only to have it shoot off in some random direction when I let go.

This phone is like a poisoned chalice.

Still kinda love it tho....I must be mad.
[HD2 General] ian.hennam:
think we must be using a really bad version of the radio then... crummy reception AND crummy battery life... This thing spends more time plugged into power than my Motorola V3688 did way back in '99! :confused: At least that was small and made/accepted calls as long as it had a slight signal and some battery power left! :rolleyes:

I'll see if "the powers that be" will allow me to mess with the radio firmware on my phone to see if I can get one that works... I've been told I'm not allowed to cook the rom, but they may let me do this.... :o

Again, thanks for the help... :cool:
[HD2 General] ian.hennam:
interestingly, we got a replacement phone today outta the insurance after one of ours was dropped and it's got a much higher version of the radio firmware on it... time to test this to see if it's any better... :)
[HD2 General] Mark Crouch:
Good news.....hopefully!!!

Here's hoping!! Let us know how you get on - and I'm glad to see we're not the only company with klutzy users (one of our guys is on his fourth replacement phone in a little over a year....he could keep goal for England :D)

Mark.
[HD2 General] ian.hennam:
well, it's been a while, BUT, HTC have released a new version of the software which I've now been running for a week with NO problems what-so-ever! Seems like they've fixed it (finally!)... :)

Call quality is massively improved, as is reception and the actual audio quality of the calls (in both directions!) in much better too...

'bout time too, but we now have "smart phones" which actually work as phones too!

My other version use the Operator package from the Asia ROM and these versions here use the original from the TMOUS ROM. The only difference are some settings which may or may not be a issue. Opera settings for help and other TMOUS my account settings etc.

There is a small app called the pagepool changer. Just do a search here on xda and run it and change the page pool to whatever you like. You will put this app in the same folder as the RUU_Signed.nbh file then run it. I don't recommend going any higher than what I have it set to now which is 20. You can lower it if you wish but I set it at what I feel is the best.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OutlawPro:
From what I can tell, pre-installed apps don't know about updates. Like Google Maps for example. It's pre-installed on the N1, but I had to manually download the latest version. After installing from the Market, it now knows when there are updates. Just open your app and hit the menu button and see what version you are running. If it's older than the one in the Market, just grab the one from the Market and overwrite your pre-installed one.
