I am also very happy with my HD2 and never experienced lag. The phone is the fastest I ever had, even compared to the iPhone which I owned some time ago.
[HD2 General] rcrawford611:
well there is a lag constanty if you use htc peep (the default twitter app) if it has to update a rather lot of tweets the phone become unusable until it finishes updating
[HD2 General] jamieeeee:
that is true but the lag is a lot less on a good custom rom than on a stock rom :)

strange that they didnt updated that htc peep though.. that would make me verry happy

I´m on Stock ROM GER 1.48, Manila 2.5.1921, modded with chainfire´s 3D-videodriver and LEOCPUSpeed V3.0, CHT 1.6., cleaned with Junk cleaner after each install of app or mod and optimized with SKTools backgroundservices. No single freeze since 3 months. Blazing fast, faster than my 6core Desktop.

The only lag I have when using Opera 9.7: I transferred the cache to mSD-card and when I shut down Opera it takes about 1-2 minutes to clear it. At that time phone is little bit laggy. So once in a while I delete the cache manually, no big thing.

For pure surfing I use Opera 10 or Skyfire or PIE, no probs with them and no lag after shut down.

[HD2 General] a13x4nd3r:
if you don't want flashing a rom, i suggest that youinstall leocpuspeed v3, search it in hd2 themes and apps section, it's make my leo run fast with disabled auto scaling, and install chainfire's 3d driver it's so fast
[HD2 General] drlalitv:
same here

have the same issues,drives me nuts thinking all that 1Ghz and all..sms is a pain..keeps hanging up,whats the use of unlimited storage when you to have keep deleting/syncing online?needs a soft reset at least once a day..:mad:
[HD2 General] Toss3:
No matter what you do WM 6.5 is always going to lag a bit. Even with an extendir rom, leocpuspeed, all registry tweaks, chainfire's 3D patch, junk cleaner etc. I still have slowdowns every now and then.

You'd need a perfectly tweaked OS in order for the phone to run smoothly and I just don't see that ever happening with WM which is why I'm considering "upgrading" to a Samsung Galaxy S. :)

The HD2, much like the i8910, is an amazing piece of hardware running the wrong software.

Note: A stock HD2 is A LOT slower than a tweaked one and I can't imagine ever using a stock rom again. Definitely recommend tweaking if you're not happy with its current speed. :p

can anyone tell me, why my opera mobile 10 final will terminate immedietly(close and jump to home tab) if play m.youtube.com's video in landscape :(

What exactly does your question have to do with the topic at hand?

You might have more luck in this thread. :)
[HD2 General] Jim Coleman:
My HD2 lagged until I went into Settings > Data Services and switched off all the auto-updates except email.

The lags are all caused by HTC Sense, especially when it updates stuff in the background.

If you don't believe me, switch off Sense and watch the thing fly.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
lagging is a windows issue ,wm6.5 is crap and based on 8 years old programming techiniques , but other os like android and osx does not hase these issues as they are newly build os's with more modern programming techniques ,hope wp7 solves all this issues
[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
I mean if sprint is going to charge for the mobile hotspot feature, wouldn't the wireless tether allow you to do the same thing? I'm not too familiar with all that wireless tether can do, but I have had 2 laptops use wireless tether on my Hero simultaneously.
[EVO 4G General] michd43:
Wifi tethering initially acts just like a hotspot app.
[EVO 4G General] sxc8782:
mobile hotspot vs. wireless tether

In my opinion, they're the same thing. I've been able to have multiple devices on using the wireless tether feature on my EVO.

The fact that sprint charges $1/day for this makes a kind of mad though since we already pay for the data to come to the phone, now we have to pay to distribute it to other devices. Most likely to limit abuse.

If you've rooted your phone and loaded a different mod, most likely you are bypassing sprint's ability to charge you.
[EVO 4G General] bjohanso:
Sprint mobile hotspot is by Sprint, more integrated with the phone and you normally have to pay per month to use it ($30 I think). I'm pretty sure it also won't let you use 4g (IIRC). Some ROMs have this unlocked so you don't have to pay Sprint (although you would be violating your contract).

Wireless tether is an app that requires root and provides pretty much the same thing as mobile hotspot on the Evo but it definitely supports 4g. Using it is also technically a violation of your contract with Sprint.

Both support at least 5 devices connected at the same time.

In both cases (unlocked mobile hotspot or wireless tether app) I would doub that Sprint would hassle you if you only use them lightly/occasionally, but it is up to you to decide whether to risk doing so.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
I addition to above post: the hotspot you pay sprint for will allow you to use 4g. The hacked version available on custom sense roms allows for 3g only (unlike the wireless tether app).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ClearOutLoft:
Hi,

I've searched for several hours now in these forums and on Google, with no success.

I need an app that leaves the device switched on, but powers off the screen.

In settings/power I can dim the screen, but there is no setting to dim it completely or just switch it off.

I've found screensavers that can show a blank screen, but the screen is still actually powered up, just showing a black image presumably.

I've found apps that can switch off the screen. But you have to manually click on them to switch off the screen.

Does anyone know of a screensaver that after a set interval will leave the device running, but power off the screen please?

Suspend is no good, the device must be up and running apps.

Thanks for your help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
What apps are you trying to "keep running"? The only thing that might be an issue when the screen goes into it's normal sleep mode is that audio will stop outputting, and wifi connections will suspend, but there's cabs available here to easily get around both of those (and keep them going even when the screen shuts off).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ClearOutLoft:
Well, it's actually to solve another long-running problem that has made me almost lose the will to live....

Alarms don't go off reliably on my TP2.

Sometimes, randomly, the alarm doesn't go off until I press the power button to wake it up. The the alarm instantly goes off. So, if I set an alarm for 6am, sometimes the phone wakes up and the alarm sounds, sometimes not. And if I switch the phone on manually sometime later, at 6:15 say, the 6am alarm sounds then.

It will work fine for a few days, then fail.

It happened on WM6.1 and still continues after upgrading to WM6.5.

I have spent countless hours googling and searching XDA-Dev. I have tried probably ten different alarm apps, with no luck. I have hard-reset various times. I have tried various recommended registry tweaks. I've tried checking the notification queue regularly for any errors. I've tried so many different suggestions, for example, never pressing the power button to turn the phone off, only ever let it hibernate automatically. Warm-resetting it each day. And the list goes on.

So, I'm experimenting with just leaving the phone on forever. But turning the screen off at night to save power / not shorten the life of the screen hardware.

Which leads me to the question about screensavers which actually power off the screen automatically after a set delay. Just like a normal screensaver on a PC.

It's hard to easily convey the frustration I have for the TP2. An excellent phone. But a phone which I can't trust to do the simplest thing: to wake me up in the morning?

It'll end up in the bin at some point very soon now.....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ruiz64:
A suggestion

Hi,

In my opinion there must be an application, change or customisation that is leading you to those problems. :cool: My suggestion is, to perform a sync towards any computer or server to keep your contacts, then, hard reset and keep the phone with the factory defaults for a while. Then, test the phone's alarms and if all is okay, add one by one your applications and changes, testing the alarms in between. Please do that on the official ROM (whatever 6.5 or 6.1) but official one. You will flash if needed later on. :rolleyes:

I know it will be a pain, but you will find the problem. :mad:

I am using a TP2 with stock WM6.5 ROM. I have not had yet any issue with the alarms. However, I remember to have had those kind of problems before with WM 5.0 and 6.1. There were always related to freeware applications, customisations, no official ROMs, registry hacks and restored backups done from older builds upon upgrade. The alarm bug in old WM version was also known, but I have not experienced it on newer versions.

There can be some issues with the notification database by times, but as said above, it is almost every time due to customisations.

I am not saying that we should keep our phones without applications, third party software, cooked ROMs, customisation etc. But the goal is to find out what is the reason, and believe me. It is the best if not only way.

If you post the list of applications and hacks that you have in your phone, I can try to see if there is any I could identify like guilty one, based on my own experience.

Complementary, I recommend you to install and use these two applications in attachment. They have worked for me on WM5, 6, 6.1 and 6.5 so far. They are freeware and therefore you can use them without problems.

Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ClearOutLoft:
Thanks for taking the time to reply. All very good advice. I'll have a go when I've got some free time again. In the meantime, has anyone come across a screensaver that actually powers off the screen please?

Thanks again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] eTechUncut:
do you turn your ringer to silent or vibrate when you go to bed? if so,

go to start/settings/clocks&alarms/more and make sure that the "sound alarms box" is checked. this will make sure that even if your phone ringers/alerts are off, your alarm

will

ring. also, if you charge your phone while you sleep, go to the backlight settings and uncheck the "turn screen off on ac power" box. if you cant sleep with the phone light on, set it to max dim on ac power and flip it over. i always had this issue when i had the tmobile wing.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
I have similar Issues with my TP2;

I notice that it is more to do with HIBERNATING than screen off.

My TP2 has go to the point where allowing it to go to hibernation means Screen of Death.

Overnight I charge it and do not let the screen go off and it seems ok (so far).

Guess I will have to Hard reset and test my freeware.

Cheers

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gromky:
I had the exact same problem. When the phone goes to sleep, it is ASLEEP. I didn't use the alarm too much but the phone would never notify me when SMS arrived. I'd hit the power switch to check, and bam, three messages arrive at once, some from hours ago. Immensely frustrating, but the problem went away when I installed Energy rom.
[HD2 General] infinitron:
Do the methods for disabling 1:02 minute clock flip animation on the European version of the HD2 work on the TMobile handsets? I've read that it's very dependent on which ROM you have on your phone and it seems like the tmobile ROM is different than the other ROMs out there.

Is there a cab like the one here available to disable the animation on the tmobile phones?

Cab File

Here is the cab file that worked for me.

I have the T-Mobile HD2 and I couldn't stand having the thing flip 1:02 every time I turned it on.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Now, when you suggest that it "worked" for you... what EXACTLY has it done so far? COMPLETELY disabled the animation altogether... or only when refreshing the home screen tabs? And if you don't mind me asking; where did you find this .CAB file? I figure one of the various threads in the EURO section, huh?
[HD2 General] infinitron:
Has anyone checked out this cab? Do I need to back anything up before I run it? I just don't know very much about messing with these settings and don't want to mess up other functionality on my phone.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you don't have special, or different roms/phones. 99.99% of the cabs and tweaks will work fine.(and of the ones that don't,the fault will almost certainly be related to windows mobile version or manila version and not the phone itself)

as it happens I'm running the tmous 2.1 rom on my euro hd2. as far as windows mobile is aware it can't tell the difference.

the only real difference between the two is that I can flash any radio, where as a ..51.. radio will kill your phone.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
All this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=292736&d=1268388705 does is to disable the initial clock animation. The clock flip still works as normally as ever on time changes, etc.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
I've been a little skeptical about installing any of these .CAB files for disabling the INITIAL flip-clock animation... primarily because some people suggest it "overwrites" an original Manila file. For some reason, I've unpacked a few of these .CAB files said to disable the initial animation, and the "modded" Manila files are never the same.

I checked the Windows directory on my device, and didn't find a matching Manila file to any of the modified ones within those .CAB files floating around.

So, my question is... since it doesn't appear that the T-Mobile USA HD2 has the exact same Manila files, will uninstalling the modified "disable" file, "re-enable" the initial animation?

I hope SOMEONE was able to follow what I was just referring to.

All-in-all, I just want to know if uninstalling any one of those .CAB files will "bring back" the original animations that occur...

Thanks.
[HD2 General] starkall:
i just installed it and it works awesome!!! I uninstalled it for ****s and giggles and the animation works, when this cab is installed i think it is a lot less glitchie when unlocking due to the clock not flipping, all other animation still works also on the weather. Great app IMO thanks, oh ya and im on stock Tmous Rom
[HD2 General] starkall:
Edit what i said before, this app sucks after i used it for about an hour, my clock would lock up and i would have to soft reset, i had to do a Hard reset to get my clock back to normal. Be careful i guess didnt work very good for me.

I had this same problem with my telstra HD2. The vibrator is located near the speaker\camera.

I have a telstra too and never have this problem... I thinks is easier if you reset factory mode or even change the rom before hit your hd2 to make it work... should be soft problem... thats my 2 cents... cya!!

There is not a console option on the nexus one recovery image. This is one thing i sorely miss about the G1. One day I needed to flash to a switchrom backup i had done and with no option for console, I was left having to flash the ROM fresh.

In order to access switchrom on recovery 1.6.2 you will need a pc and a know how of ADB. with the phone connected to the computer and in recovery mode do the following -

adb remount
adb shell
# switchrom

this will bring up the switchrom options... the same process goes for BART. instead of switchrom though, type bart

When the official Sprint 2.1 update comes out should I update the firmware or just wait for a custom ROM that is based off the official release. Probably just going to wait but just curious.

what, you need me to say more?
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
Haha Well the roms that are going to be based off of the official releases are going to be slimmed down and optimized I would guess. I would run a rom from Fresh.

[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
Flashing their official update will require you to RUU (whether it's to go back to stock to get OTA, or if they actually release an RUU). In either case, you will lose root.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Flipz speaks the truth. As many others have said, just wait for a ROM from one of our awesome developers. If I were you, I'd stick to Fresh ROM since Flipz tends to be very professional about his updating and bux fixing, not to mention every ROM release he uploads is almost always flawless (ie. not forgetting files, etc.). Just my 0.02.

Please look at the attached photo, which is directly off of HTC's Europe website. The top taskbar shows the "H" (HSDPA) icon both above the "signal bars" and also to the left of them. On my TMO US branded HD2, I only get a generic "3G" icon above the signal bars, but nothing to the left (i.e. the "H" in the box as seen in the picture). Is there any way, aside from flashing a cooked rom, to get my HD2 to look like the Euro one? The only thing I want is to see the "H" both above and to the left of the signal bars. Please help, thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] mingkee:
Try Lost in Asia ROM. Search the member "bobsbbq". The ROM is fine with few minor bugs.

Note: the ROM in the member's sig will work with US version HD2 (I installed 235xx Glass)
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
You just have to unlock it via a reg edit I believe. You might be able to find a cab through some searching. All it means is that you are connected via HSDPA.Which is really just 3g+, in real terms a bit faster then standard 3g depending on the exact connection and signal.
[HD2 General] Jgonz202:
That is HSDPA or 3.5G service which is not available in all markets I think. I live in Northern VA and I get the H almost everywhere but sometimes I just get 3G bars when I'm not close to a major city
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
with a minute to search it was found. Try that it should give you a switch in connection settings to turn it on and off. If you have HSDPA in your area then you'll see it show up if not then you'll never see it short of modding the actual 3g image file.
[HD2 General] mingkee:
T-Mobile branding removed G/E/3G/H icons on the left of signal icon. To get it back, you need custom taskbar or de-brand your phone.

Don't forget to run HSPL2 before flashing custom ROM.
[HD2 General] sikkboy626:
With a minute to read, its evident that's not what I was asking. It appears as though Mingkee is right, TMo does like to remove the "H" icon. HSDPA can be enabled from the stock ROM, there is no need for the "switch". Thanks everyone.
[HD2 General] VizagDude:
The T-Mobile USA branded HD2 does not have the independent icon on the task bar. I actually hardreset my deivce twice thinking that the cabs I installed messed up my device or something.

All you have to do is install a custom taskbar and you would get it back. Not a big deal, as that icon is redundent, as it would just mimic what ever that comes up above the singal bars. Its a matter of getting used to it.
