Purchased mine online from T-mobile at the end of April. Been using it for a little over two weeks and have been very happy. The only crashes has happened while installing new apps - let's face it, winmo apps are pretty much a crapshoot, you can't really blame the phone for that.

Still with tmousa, prepaid voice and text only, no data. Stock Rom version 2.10.531.1 (2/22/10), Radio version 2.08.50.08_2. Haven't tried the custom ones yet since I'm happy with the stock rom, and also installed too much apps and don't want to start over.

I've been installing pretty much every app I've come across. Some good, some bad, bad ones get tossed right away so I can try new stuff. The only program I remember is Gyrator having a problem with the new Office Mobile installation; and Tom Tom using some old bluetooth dll that caused a problem.

1-2)I purchased online, don't remember exactly, but it was a Tuesday two weeks after the official release date. I had kept hitting f5 almost every day to see if I could get it because the phone went off of stock online so quickly.

3)T-Mobile US

4-5)I used the phone stock for a couple weeks without any freezes. All I ever installed was Opera Mini/Mobile, Skyfire, flashlite 3.1, and a couple taskbar/bottombar tabs, all to internal memory. When I mean stock, I mean stock.

I then installed HSPL and loaded a few custom roms, but liked none, so I rolled back to stock 2.10.1 but left HSPL in place until early this week when I installed the stock (leaked) 2.13 with the new spl.

6)Using the stock 16GB SDHC that came with the phone.

7)Haven't had a slowdown, freeze, problem, or anything, ever.

....:rolleyes: i dun now wat you got yur info from, hah, but it sound like a conspiracee!!!! quik, reach for tinfoil hats!
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
1 & 2 - no idea, unfortunately. I got mine locally from an American who'd purchased it in the US, and he didn't mention where he got it from.

3 - TelstraClear, who're an MVNO using Vodafone NZ's network.

4 - A better question would ask what I haven't changed. :) I am, however, using the stock ROM with the 2.09.50.29_2 radio. Running assorted UI tweaks for Sense/Lockscreen/Start Menu etc., BsB, regedits for Opera, SKtools.. But nothing I'd expect to change freezing, aside from putting shortcuts to Bootlauncher & Audiomanager in the StartUp folder. I've cleaned it out thoroughly with SKTools and removed the program folders for the crappy stock apps that're of no use to me.

5 - Again, nothing I'd expect to make a difference to freezes. But here's a complete list:

- Matt Jackson's Devotion Sense slider

- SKTools

- Doom2RPG

- SPB Wireless Monitor

- Resco Explorer

- Adobe Flashlite

- BsB Tweaks

- BIOS bootscreen

- Lesscro's WP7 Resco skin

- Latest MS Marketplace bootstrap

- Joe Wilcox's AwesomeStart

- SPB Backup

- [Star]'s Segoe UI Sense clock

- Swype 2.0

- Lesscro's WP7 Swype skin

- Touch X Actionscreen

- Touch X 3G comm manager button

- Whiskeybro's HTC Black taskbars

- JWMD Icon Changer w/Metro5 iconset

- Dwizzy's MS retail logo Start icon

- Live Mesh

- Latest Windows Live

- Office 2010

- SRS WOW HD

- WP7 Metro Lockscreen

6 - Using stock SD card

7 - I only had issues with Audiomanager loading my >10GB music library. Fixed it by putting a shortcut to the application in the StartUp folder, and by not putting EVERY SINGLE SONG on one playlist, heh. Loads fine if I just browse by artist.
[HD2 General] darkphantom:
Hey guys, this is really good info! Keep it coming!

I'm debating on whether or not to stay with the HD2, because it is up for sale, and I haven't even opened it. (it was a new purchase after returning the old HD2 I had)

I was told to leave the phone memory alone and ONLY use the card memory.
[HD2 General] dynomite16:
1)When you purchased the phone The day it came out

2)Where you purchased the phone Tmobile store in IL as well. (maybe the illinois batch got lucky?)

3)what carrier you have now (if not Tmobile) tmo

4) Have you changed anything from stock? Just added cht and a coule other apps and tweaks no new roms.

5) Have you installed anything on the phone memory? Yes some apps

6) what type of SDHC are you using? (if different from stock) stock

7) what did you do to stop the freezing? (if freezing occurred) phone froze once a couple days after I bought, restarted it and never happened since.
[HD2 General] roblh82:
I bought mine on monday 5/10 from a t-mo store in oak lawn, IL. (had to call over 30 places and found 1) I put Co0kies and CHTEditor on the memory card and thats it. :D stock sdhc and I have never had it freeze once (knocks on wood) it has been a great phone for me this week. Hope to have many more great weeks.
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
Hmm, I'd really not recommend using the card memory for some installs, especially for system tweaks due to the delays in the phone booting and the SD card being read et cetera. In my experience that's much more likely to lead to freezing than installing on phone memory, and with 1GB ROM, there's not a huge need to install to SD card anyway. Honestly, I expect people installing applications with dependencies to the class 2 stock SD card is the cause of some of these freezes. :)
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
On previous generations of WM phones (i.e. ones with far less onboard memory than the HD2), it was a widely used practice to install whatever programs, etc you could to the card, to avoid filling up your device memory quickly. However, the Tmo HD2 has four times as much memory as even some other phones still being sold today...so, I haven't installed a single app to the storage card, and I still have over 500MB of space on the phone free to use for installs. Installing to the phone also sidesteps potential issues with data access to the card interefeing with smooth phone operation.

+1..00 ;)
[HD2 General] cmillens:
:D

got mine about a month ago from the T-Mobile store on Smoky Hill road in colorado. installed all kinds of great stuff, new clock, Cookie's home tab editor, wrote a bunch of my own software too. Stock SDHC too.

6) what type of SDHC are you using? (if different from stock): N/A (stock)

7) what did you do to stop the freezing? (if freezing occurred): Didn't really happen all that much once I started religiously killing rogue apps with Task manager as I have all other WinMo Devices.

Recently upgraded the ROM to HTC's 2.13 prior to official release...and so far...all is well.
[HD2 General] np231:
1. On release date

2. Ebay

3. Rogers Canada

4. No (Using the Stock Rom, installed dutty's task manager and bsb tweaks)

5. Try not to, most of the programs are on storage card, if the programs is really small like less than 500kb then I install it on phone memory

6. Stock SD card

7. Never Froze on me once (been using it since the release date)

Also try not to have many tabs activated for HTC sense, I disabled Twitter and footprints as I dont use it (from settings tab). Use a task manager and clean ram with bsb tweaks. I have yet to experience a freezing problem. The only time I had to take out the battery was when I played Tower Defence but after installing the 3D patch it works great.

Hope this helps..
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
1) Apr 23

2) Sams Club

3) T-Mo

4) Stock Rom

5) Cookies Tabs, CHTEditor, BSB Tweaks, DINK Icons Set, Google Maps, OMarket, Reg Editor, Wifi tethering, Tx_Total_Landscape, FPSE (Everything on phone memory)

6) Stock 16GB class 2

7) The only freezes I got was when running FPSE. I use Hotmail with Windows Live and Opera a lot. I've taken a lot of pictures and videos without any problems. I've used wifi tethering a few times. I've used Remote Desktop a few times. I've used most of the stuff the phone came with a few times.

The auto update is only setup for the stock weather and Stocks pages. And for my hotmail.

SMS is the only thing I've not used at all.

I've only have only had to soft reset the phone 3 times. twice for FPSE and once when it was really slow (no idea why)
[HD2 General] jubeh:
I'm still looking to see what this "solution" is, I mean, rather than sell off your phone which you haven't taken out of it's box... :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] TIGGAH:
1) Release day

2) TMO Store in Portsmouth NH

3) TMO

4) No

5) Yes some games

6) Stock

7) never froze and I'm sure you have it wrong - the very small minority experience freezing.

Oh and it appears the freeze/lag issue is fixed anyways. Download the "official" ROM and you should be 100% good to go.
[HD2 General] zim2323:
First, Make sure you aren't using ANY of the FileExplorer extensions, even 2.07/0.3.

Second, if you aren't having phone freezes, then you don't have a bad SD Card, and/or you changed over to a faster Class 6 16gb card like I have.

I would be if your phone was freezing and you pulled the SD card for a couple days, you'd see the problem go away. Below is some more information on the subject I have put together.

The original stock ROM put some information in \storage card\application data\htc, while the new ROM does not.

[HD2 General] amb9800:
It's basically just a matter of time before the phone (any WinMo phone really) starts to freeze. I assume by freeze you mean a complete lock-up that requires a battery-pull.

I got my HD2 a few days before launch in March. With the stock ROM, initially it was fine, then it began to freeze-- usually when using A2DP Bluetooth. The phone would slow down dramatically at times (e.g. flicking through playlists in the HTC Music tab became nearly impossible) and then occasionally freeze completely. I've been using various NRG 6.5.x ROMs for the last 1.5 months or so, and it's normally been fine (more responsive than the stock ROM and of course a much better UI).

In the last week I've had the phone freeze on 4-5 different occasions, once in a pretty embarrassing situation (in a meeting, phone was set to vibrate but for some reason still played the ringtone + vibration, then froze in the middle, looping a small section of the tone audio with the vibrate motor running continuously).

As for the MicroSD card, I'd say install anything you can (at least frequently-used apps) to internal memory-- that way you have fewer external dependencies and also theoretically get higher performance (though with WM, performance is a very relative term). I'm using a 16GB Class 6 RiData card, but this is particularly true if you use the stock Class 2 card.
[HD2 General] efjay:
Sorry, this is pure BS.
[HD2 General] jcbofkc:
I got my HD2 the day of the release. Using stock SD card. Using Kumar's Rom version 1.2. No freezes. Great speed. I have considered upgrading to his newest Rom but I am comfortable with the win 6.5 look. Plus the thing runs great and I can go a day and a half with moderately heavy usage were it was dying by the afternoon on the stock ROM.
[HD2 General] wingtytn:
it was a fact from everywhere 99% of all tmobile hd2 devices are experiencing freezing unfortunaly i didnt hav it yet plus i also changed my rom so i wont ever get it
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
While there may be a lot of owners with that issue, "99% of all tmobile HD2 devices are experiencing freezing" is quite a bit of a stretch. I wouldn't even say it's safe to claim that 99% of all HD2's with reported issues have the freezing problem.

Without knowing exactly how many HD2's exist in the wild, none of the evidence you've seen can support a claim like that.

However, I believe you do have a wonderful career in advertising ahead of you :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninjineer:
Ok, I am having all sorts of trouble. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, I cannot get beyond a stable installation of Cyanogen Mod 4.0.2 on my T-Mobile G1. I am going to post all the specifics of my current setup:

ROM: Cyanogen Mod 4.0.2

SPL: DangerSPL

Radio: 2.22.19.26I

Firmware Version: 1.5

Now, I was under the impression, that if I wanted to go to Cyanogen Mod 4.2.15.1, I would simply need to wipe, and then reinstall the ROM right over this one, and I may need to fix_permissions to resolve any force close issues.

But no matter how many times I try, it seems to indefinitely hang at the first splash screen (T-Mobile) and will not boot, so I end up having to wipe and reflash 4.0.2 to get it functional again.

What am I doing wrong, and what would be the end-all, ideal way to flash up from 4.02 to 4.2.15.1?

Also, once I do this, in the future, I hope to flash to the 5.07 once we get the stable ok from Cyanogen, what would be the ideal steps then?

PS I've done a LOT of searching on these forums, AND others forums via Google, and when it comes specifically down to my exact, current situation, things get vague and nebulous. I would appreciate loads, if someone could weigh in and straighten me out.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No. You need to flash the base-defanged... one sec for link...

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninjineer:
He's a troll, don't listen to a word he is. 4.02 was from before the CnD letter Cyan received to remove Google apps from his package. You need to flash the Defanged base, and immediately flash 4.2.15.1 over it.

If you are having trouble with force closes, then run fix_permissions in the recovery console.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gper78:
Agreed, as I still don't have an explanation as. to what "code red wipe" is. Is that a full wipe, wipe data, or wipe dalvik? Please, can somebody explain!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sblmnl:
lol dude he was giving you a smartass response. Just wipe (alt-W I believe) in Recovery and you should be good. If you get forceclose errors, run fix_permissions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninjineer:
It wouldn't hurt to wipe all of the categories. Can't hurt unless you have data to lose. If you have data to lose, then it gets a little more advanced than I have the patience to address today. :/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
He does not need to wipe battery stats or rotate settings. Those two options are for a completely different cause.

Edit: If you have data to loose, back it up. Use Titanium Backup for all applications + app data. If you can't get titanium backup - don't bother ever rooting again.

hey you guys, i was trying to turn wifi on my phone off today and when i went into settings, the wifi icon was on the "green on" switch, but it was kinda grayed out so it wouldnt let me turn it off. do any of you know what the problem could be? thanks, also my hd2s battery dies really fast, it only lasts a few hours and drains really bad when im listening to music , even with the screen turned off, i know that battery problems have been posted all over the forums but has any fix been released? or should i just get a new battery? thanks
[HD2 General] lordxentris:
You Battery is Dying fast because of the WiFi being left on. Try to re-install the ROM. Also please give more info regarding the ROM you are using. So I could help you further.
[HD2 General] motionz:
The wifi icon being gray means it's turning on or of but in your case I believe it's simply stuck. If reboot doen't do a trick, reinstall ROM or install another one.

is it possible to activate HTC time enhancement in WM calendar, I mean tapping and chhoring time? by registry mod?

I usulally disable sense (manila) and

use titanium

but I noticed that in several apps HTC time enhancement appears (myphone, Group Sms) but I don't know how to use it in WM calendar. It would be great!

If you use one of the newest ROM builds (the one with the new button layout), then I think it has a much better time selector...thing.

[Desire General] Shaizer:
Just realised that I dont really need to use the PDAnet application on my Desire or on my pc to tether internet using usb, I'm not sure about other network branded desires but I know that a T-mobile representative posted on the forums that Tethering is allowed on T-mobile as long as you stay within the 3GB fair use policy - Decent =D

All you have to do is select Internet Sharing when you connect your phone up, you'll have to wait a while for the computer to install it as a network adapter. This internet sharing option might not be on other branded phones.

-Shaizer

update: its a bit jumpy I think, first time trying it.
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Very true, but if you refering to the new 2.2 update allowing it,

the new update will allow for

wireless

, atm you can only

do it through having the phone connected through cabling.

This is what i think anyway.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Even thought internet sharing is available on most Desires (as it was on the Hero), there is still a use for PDANet.

PDANet allows you to share the internet via a Bluetooth DUN connection.

PDANet will have to be my choice as I'm running Windows 7 which doesn't play nicely with the standard USB tethering!!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagles16:
well im running the the 2.1 leak and i decided to try and turn sense off via going into application manger and clearing defaults on sense and hitting home (like you did on 1.5), unfortunately this does not work, it does not give an option to choose between sense and vanilla android. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abcdfv:
The one signed with test keys, or the one signed with release keys?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus10o:
He means when running a 1.5 rom there was the option to switch to "Home" as a launcher. In the leaked 2.1 rom there wasnt the choice.

He would have to install a separate launcher to be able to have a vanilla look.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagles16:
yeah what this guy says, and home launchers from the market are generally slow and dumb
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jus10o:
You can try helix from the market.. Its what i use instead of sense. Alot of people from here use it.

You can also look up Zeam Launcher, looks sorta like sense but runs wayyy smoother and its most definitely not htc sense.

Also you can try this one from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678706

There are quite a few others, some devs include some in roms. Just search for launcher.apk or launcher2.apk.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagles16:
thanks man!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durandetto:
+1 for Helix launcher, whenever I go away from sense that's what use. The best part is the landscape homescreens.

Ever since I got my ATT Fuze, I've been getting a pop-up warning box:

Warning

There is a problem

connecting to the GPRS

service in your registered

home network

I started out on the stock ATT ROM, and in the hopes that it would fix the problem I flashed a 6.5 ROM by TAEL which works perfectly but still has the same problem (though the pop-up is much nicer looking now on 6.5!)

Is this a setting? I've searched the forums and "advanced config" for a setting and can't find anything. thanks in advance!

anyone ever see this message? Have I discovered the one error that opens up a world of possibilities with this phone? does this unlock the grappling hook? maybe if i ask how to install cab files i'll get a response...

Are you sure,you are using some data plan by your provider? If not,use "nodata" software do disable GPRS connection. You are using some software in background,that tries to connect to the internet(RSS reader,scheduled Weather,Email etc.). Are your GPRS settings correctly set?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slack04:
wow, I had already given up on this...

Thanks for the reply! I'm not using any data plan (just wifi). I've turned off weather and the only software I've added to the TAEL ROM is Garmin XT. I searched but I couldn't find the "no data" software; and I can't find the GPRS settings in the phone (if there are any)... thanks again!
