I also see poorer signal performance with my HD2 compared to my previous MT3G. Changing the radio from 2.08 to 2.10 to 2.11 hasn't made any difference really. I walk from my work building to my bus stop in Boston everyday, and I always have signal spikes every block. I hate that it does this because I can't get a steady stream of Pandora/Slacker music. Every time it changes connection speed, Pandora always times out.

Another thing I noticed with my phone after flashing my first cooked ROM, I don't get 3G anymore. It only switched between Edge and HSPA+. Either way, i know it's not real HSPA+ speeds because the max speeds I get from the online tests are 1.5mbps DL, and 1mbps UL.

If someone knows a solution to get consistent data connection let me know.
[HD2 General] dotnetguyaz:
The 2.12 radio was really good for me in terms of signal quality and battery, but the WiFi-N issue kinda killed it for me. From what I understand, they (tmo) are doing a lot work on the northern east coast. Might be part of the reason you are seeing only edge and hsdpa signals.

I miss my MT3G sometimes, well, until I watch a video on my HD2. LOL
[HD2 General] sashaohio:
no it won't
[HD2 General] dotnetguyaz:
No it's won't what? argh... quote isn't working for you?
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
OK, well I have gone through all 2.08, 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12 radios and I can say that I have not noticed any difference with any of them in the Boston, MA area. Pretty much have 3G coverage in most areas, and only swaps between Edge when I'm inside or near buildings. As for the "H" symbol for HSPA+, I think it's only showing that when the chef's use that symbol in their ROM. I'm running the Omega ROM now, and I'm back to the stock 3G symbol. Definitely no HSPA+ speeds in Boston yet.

On another note. Went into an Apple store today and got to play with the iPhone 4. When loading web pages, this phone was flying. Then I turned off the wifi, and it still seemed considerably faster than T-Mo's 3G connection on my HD2. Made me sad. =( Can't wait for the HSPA+ to be here already so I can have something to be proud of T-Mo again. =T
[HD2 General] dotnetguyaz:
Actually, HSDPA is in place for 99.99% of all the nodes and when you see "H" it denotes HSDPA, not HSDPA+. If the chef's don't cook in the H icons, you'll never see it, but the speeds are there. Also, when TMO does roll out HSDPA+, you won't be able to take advantage of it directly. It will help the backplane and overall data speeds, but our devices are still only capable of a MAX 7.2 mbs down stream. It's also very similar to your internet provider. They are allowed by law to state what the maximum speeds are, but very, very rarely will you ever hit those advertised speeds.

As for the iPhone4's browser speed... As much as I hate to admit it, AT&T does have a better data network, but when you take into account all their nefarious business practices and the quality of their voice network, you start to realize that TMO customers has it a lot better.
[HD2 General] chadster214:
I agree... the voice quality on TMo is much better than ATT, but spotty data connection. I just switched to TMo recently.
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
My biggest gripe with T-Mo data service though, is that whenever the signal strength changes between Edge and 3g is that I can't do anything. Pandora and Slacker Radio is basically unusable, internet browsing is slow, updating e-mail/weather is slow. I wouldn't mind so much as long as it's usable. Having this phone while it switches between Edge and 3g, is basically having a phone without data service at all.
[HD2 General] Juv3nileR3j3ct:
Anyone in the Chicagoland area got any issues? Trees lately have been killing my damn signal but other than that, I'm usually on H band... It just drops whenever I pass those areas and I pass those areas a lot so its starting to annoy me but other than that, I'm not complaining. H band is pretty awesome. I got around 900-1000 KBPS on it.
[HD2 General] dloopy:
ha wow dats weird... maybe your covering the antenna with your hand when u pick it up.
[HD2 General] Dre39:
I agree. Whenever it switches from 3G to Edge data just cuts out for awhile. At first I thought it was the radio, so I've tried all the radios (currently on 2.12) and it's the same thing.

Also, I haven't seen any difference in signal strength or battery life with any of the radios.
[HD2 General] thesecondsfade:
I don't notice much of difference between the various radios either. I usually go with 2.09.50.29_2 or 2.10.50.28_2. Both are pretty comparable in Southern California/OC/Inland Empire area.

I switched my Network Type to WCDMA under Comm Manager/Phone Settings/Band and it seems to have kept me on 3G or H and doesn't switch to E or G but we'll see how it goes for calls and going in and out of complete reception.
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
thesecondsfade, you may have found the answer to my prayers! I work near an area of hospital buildings that always cause my HD2 to switch between Edge and Hsdpa. After switching to WCDMA in the settings as you described, I had constant Hsdpa connection the whole time I walked by this dead zone. Continuous Pandora streaming, like I've always wanted! Of course, this may have been a fluke. I will report back in a few days if this is consistently the solution. :)

Update: Yes, this is certainly the answer to the automatic switching. Occasionally the phone will not be able to find the T-mobile network while switching manually, so you will have to search for it manually.
[HD2 General] ilaws:
Confirmed

This is the answer, well done 'thesecondsfade' you deserve a medal as I doubt any Telco support group would have been able to solve this problem.

It is not the T-Mobile network and not the 1700 band, as I live in Australia and I purchased the T-Mobile phone from the US (firmware 2.13.531.1).

We don't have the 1700 band, I am on the Optus network which uses 2100. 3G works great anyone who says this phone won't work on 3G outside of America is talking rubbish, it is a total myth.

I myself couldn't have been happier, that is until I walked into a shopping center. I couldn't make any calls, they just kept dropping out. I was in disbelief, what the hell is going on, my old Treo 650 (GSM) worked anywhere, it never failed me ever.

Must have been a glitch, then I was in a another building and the same thing happened again. Your kidding me, after all this is suppose to be a phone primarily, what is the use of having all the other great functionality if the phone lets you down.

I jumped on the net and found this thread, I only hope the right people at T-Mobile and HTC read this thread.

By setting my phone to WCDMA or GSM solves the issue, just don't have it set to 'Auto'. They need to fix this, it can spoil the reputation of a great phone.
[HD2 General] ilaws:
I Jumped the Gun

I guess I should have tested this more thoroughly, as my problem has just turned out to be a strange set of sequence of events that occurred.

To put the record straight here is what happened.

I have not had this phone long and did not have a case for the phone, I had a nice leather case on order, so I was just using it around home locally.

My leather case arrived and I headed out with my new phone, unbeknown to me, when I make a phone call with the phone inside the case, as soon as the phone start calling the screen goes blank. Just like holding the phone up to your face, except it stays blank and makes a slight bleep sound when it first happens, I thought the phone was dropping out, but it is actually still ringing (ring tone not very loud) could not hear it in the shopping center.

When I tested the phone with the change I just walked across the road to the local shopping center without the phone case, and of course it worked as it does normally.

So the phone behaves differently when inside my case making a phone call, I guess it is something to do with the face detection sensor being blocked by the case.

No drama at all, now that I know what has happened. I really like this phone, I am very impressed with it.
[Desire General] gibbo1964:
Does anybody know if you can allocate your own tone (from sd card etc) to alert you of a new SMS etc....Thanks
[Desire General] TermyJW:
There are applications on the AndroidMarket that allow you to do this.

The one I use (alongside ChompSMS) is called "Tone Picker", which lets you use Mp3s as ringtones.

Enjoy!
[Desire General] Rusty!:
To do it without any extra programs, create the following folders on the SD card:

/media/audio/ringtones

/media/audio/notifications

/media/audio/alarms

The phone will look in these folders when you pick a new one.
[Desire General] gibbo1964:
Cheers Rusty !!! Spot On....Thanx
[Desire General] SirGadden:
You don't need the media/audio path, so just

/ringtones

/notifications

/alarms

will do :)
[Desire General] copex:
you can chop mp3 to ring tones on the desire with the inbuilt app, from the music player hit the menu button, select set as ring tone, you then get a menu pop up and select trim ring tone, once you have it trimmed you can copy it to the notification as above.

Hi,

My HD2 is finding network very hard in roaming...

Start to searching, and searching for few minutes and after few resets it find...

I changed few radios and always the same...

3G signal is very good and my second phone cinnecting in few seconds

Any idea???
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paburro:
Hi!

- it happens randomly (while driving, overnight, during day)

- it always goes back by a random amount (from several minutes to several hours)

- it sometimes happens multiple times per day, and sometimes works fine for weeks

- i have enough of this, i always need to set up two devices to wake me up.

Any solution HTC masters?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kk_xiii:
Hey, I have the same problem... Anyone can help?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] exilkubaner:
i had the same thing and nearly freaked me out BUT there is a fix:

in phone settings there is a tab GSM/UMTS services

deactivate time syncronization there and it never happens again
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paburro:
I switched it just like the exilkubaner said about two weeks ago, so far it never bumped back again. So I believe it works :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lukesan:
Yup, also had the crazy thing when sometimes I woke up in the morning and my clock on the phone was at like 7pm or so.

tab GSM/UMTS services -> deactivate time syncronization did the job
[Touch HD General] rhyso89:
Hi, I need your help!

I have just flashed my HD totally incorrectly and it is now (how you say in english?) f****d!

I've flashed it loads of times and I guess I was just a bit sleepy and complacent.

The nbh and ruu files were both in My Documents. I connected the phone as usual, completely forgot about Bootloader and and ran the ruu software, completed succesfully (or not) unplugged phone from computer and now it won't turn on/hard reset/or enter bootloader.

Except that it sort of does turn on. I flashed with Mia's Innovation II GTX. When I hold power on for 5 seconds and release nothing happens for about 45 seconds. Then the characteristic short vibrate occurs, followed by the sound of scribbling of what I imagine is the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" logo. (Remember nothing is being dislayed on the screen at any time).

So that's the problem. I can't hard or soft reset, connecting it to the computer does nothing (TouchHD_282 does not appear in My Computer) and charging it presents no charging status light either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Rhys

All my other mail accounts sync perfectly on my HD2 except my outlook exchange account which I have yet to access. All the setting (domain, mail server) are correct and my co-workers who use android, and iphone have no problem logging into their work email. What's the deal? The error message reads, "a network or server error is currently preventing your device from syncing".
[HD2 General] korfhagebd:
I about blew my brains out trying to set up my exchange account on my HD2. The most frustrating part is that all of the settings were correct. What finally got it set up and syncing? Hitting "sync" over and over again. It took me about an hour and a half of checking and unchecking boxes until everything was finally synced for the first time. Now that it's finally set up, it's running just fine.

Not sure if it's a glitch, or just an ActiveSync thing, but it took me a while before everything synced correctly.
[HD2 General] SDJB:
I have the same problem and did everything in my power to get it to work. The main problem with me and the company's exchange server are the Certificates are not allowing the device to sync correctly. Since we are using WMo I guess it is more difficult to overrule the Security Certificates that by the way are expired and need to be updated.

Long story short…”I gave up” and only use the POP3 line that only gives you access to emails instead of Contacts, calendar, etc…
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I think all of you probably need to talk to your Admin about getting a security certificate to install on your phone.

Setting up Exchange on the HD2 is simple and works for me every time... Our server requires me to have a certificate and I've reset my phone about 5 times and set up my outlook email with no probs every single time... But to get it to sync I have to install the Security Certificate. Any secure exchange server with a smart Admin requires one to access the server from the outside...

If you are putting in the correct user, pass, domain and server address, then that is probably it. Also make sure you Data Connection is not disabled in Settings/Wireless Controls.

Hope this helps...

You guys are going to hate me. To be fair, I've been up for hours trying to get this taken care of and can't seem to get anywhere.

I've already completed a fair couple hours searching, reading threads here and there on this issue, yet I still have no answers.

My friend asked me to attempt to fix her MyTouch 3G LE (Fender) for her. She purchased it off an ad, The original owner said he rooted it... The issue is I can't seem to UNROOT it for the life of me.

Have already tried Goldcard (did it successfully, yet phone refuses to continue), I've formatted, tried numerous "sappimg.zip" etc. Nothing works at all. (I even attempted numerous SD cards for goldcards, no luck).

I have ADB setup correctly, drivers and all. My computer recognized BOTH "adb devices" AND "fastboot" devices.

The phone still works, yet we can't do anything with it. We can't even go in a "factory" reset cause all it does is reboot.

There is also NO recovery.

Should I tell my friend her phone is basically bricked or am I missing something here? Like I said.. I apologize, I know this is a known issue. If this has been answered, please let me know and accept my apology. I truely have been up for hours trying to get this taken care of and have had no luck.

Does it attach very tightly to the glass screen or dashboard?

I am also insterested in this one. From the look of it, it has small "leg".

It will be quite far if attached to the car front glass screen ... I think it would be better to attach to the dashboard.

I like it better because it does not use round ball to join the leg. I dont know how to explain this, but look in the attachment. I own similar design like this for my old WinMo device and that round ball was easily break/loosen.
