Downloaded it direct off tmo, that"s why I quoted full name of file to eliminate any confusion. And, I don't even have any other rom. Would be great if that was problem.

It seemed to speed up today when I removed the sd card but haven't had time to test it. Either way, this rom is mucked up.
[HD2 General] DECIM8:
The new ROM is running great for me so far though I had very few issues with the old ROM. Swype's hold for secondary and many texting issues being fixed are the large improvements for me. Sensitivity was my only issue with this ROM though there are registry solutions for that.

After installing a ROM I do a hard reset as prescribed by most tutorials out there. Have the people having issues skipped this step? I guess I have have never NOT done it to see if it really makes a difference. It only adds a minute to the process.

I do some registry edits by default after installing, mostly pertaining to memory allocation. I also install chainfire's video driver patch pretty much right away. This could be helping me as well.

Link to memory tweaks. I do the edits from "suitable for all ROMs" down to "added 11/2/10".
[HD2 General] davewaave:
Thanks, I'll give the reg tweaks a shot.
[HD2 General] k20a1:
so the new update isnt worth getting?
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
I'm on the elegancia rom with 2.13 base, wm 6.5.5 version. it's been running nicely

more smooth than kumar's 1.3 rom, which I upgraded from. No issues with glitchy scrolling here. icons on this rom are not for me though. might try official tmo 2.13 some day.
[HD2 General] masondoctorjt:
It works really well for me so far. I've had it 4 days.
[HD2 General] davewaave:
New, Replacement phone; same

Finally got my phone replaced today. It has the new rom installed already, and it acts exactly like the old one. Really notice the scrolling problem in file manager and settings tab scrolling. Only thing different about this phone is that the reset button under battery cover is yellow, whereas old one was red. Whatever. I will live with the problems until ironed out I suppose.
[HD2 General] jas0nw0ng:
I don't know what you all are doing, but my HD2 now is much faster than it was using the 2.10 ROM. Using the post below, alleviated the sensitivity issue and downloading memory registry tweak makes everything silky smooth.

The memory tweaks can be found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=629388

Bottom of the first post there is a cab to download: HD2MemTweaks.cab
[HD2 General] DECIM8:
Of note is that above cab file mentioned is listed as not suitable for the US HD2. Couple lines above the cab files.....

"Remember, the MemTweaks CAB is only suitable for 576mb rom users"

Just apply the tweaks manually.
[HD2 General] Blairware:
This is out of control! OUT OF CONTROL!!!

I have to admit, with 20 + years in the tech field these complete opposite reports, on identical hardware, with the same ROM package are not comforting, to say the least. In the last couple of days I have heard:

"This ROM sucks; I had it on my phone for 25 minutes (3 days, 1 day... etc) and put the old ROM back"

Vs.

"This ROM is WONDERFUL, fixed all my problems, and made me more popular"

AND THIS: I hear that the video drivers either suck and CAUSE stuttering, or SOLVE it, depending on who you ask.

Screen Response I KNOW is not folks imagination: T-Mobile sent me a refurb phone on Monday that needed 10 times the effort to tap screen items (but guess what? it was on the Old 2.10 firmware). I applied new firmware to my old phone and had NO such experience with response. I put them right next to each other and 2.10 was pathetic, 2.13 just fine. So the screen response issue can happen at either code level.

Also: we have reports regrading 2.10.50.26 Radio: It either: "Has horrible reception (compared to 2.08.50.08_2) or "Is about the same"

We also have a few "It drained my battery in 5 hours"

Oh yeah: I love all the discussions of "the leaked version" vs. The "Official Version" THAT is the BIGGEST BS OF ALL!! No coder ever puts EXACTLY THE SAME VERSION# on two different packages. How the hell would even the team who WROTE it know which one they were looking at? if its 2.13.531.1 then there IS no difference in the packages. CFC the suckers if you doubt me

SO... WTF is going on here? The only

reasonable

explanations are either: a) HTC Hardware is incredibly inconsistent. (Possible, but unlikely to the extent it would have to be for these results. b) There ARE multiple versions of the ROM package with different drivers cooked in (I will NEVER buy that story) or, my own personal theory: It is too easy for the ROM to

INSTALL

inconsistently.

Heck it could be a combination of all three, or none of the above, what do I know. Basically, I don;t care if the issue is sun spots, or voodoo, I just want to have a predictable experience. Guess that's never gonna happen in a Microsoft / x86 based device, but one can dream, I suppose. SIGH!
[HD2 General] tai4de2:
Uh... the HD2 is not an x86 device.

Next rant?
[HD2 General] unforseenenemy:
I think this is what happened... T-mobile put out the new 2.13 ROM last week and that same day pulled it off of their servers.... they probably realized that they put it out with errors in it.... then last night they put 2.13 BACK online(thinking that they might be able to fool us though all they did was change a few lines of code... im sure monetarily it wouldnt make sense to change the version number... even something that simple would take more developers time/money to go in and change, they were either being cheap or just lazy... either way it all looks good now
[HD2 General] lbjohnny:
I'm using the leaked 2.13.534.1 (90963) 4/28/10 with radio 2.10.50.26.

It is very smooth & have had no real freezes at all (had one with CoPilot). I'm using CHT 1.71 & BSB tweaks & all kinds of apps. 2.10 froze almost daily somehow. This one seems very soild. Absolutely no complaints. :)
[HD2 General] xtenpeben:
I am using the leaked version. I haven't had problems with it ever since i flashed it.

Pros I have notice:

- lockscreen with pin seems to work better

- messaging app still takes some time to load if you have more than 300 but it is still faster than 2.10

- haven't had any freeezes / blank screen

Cons I have notice:

- Slow scrolling on start menu, but other than that, i can tap on items really fine (i don't know what people's problems are)

Here's the last point i will make which is a quote, "Those people who say customer is always right obviously never work in tech support."

Most of the problems at hand are user issues tho (i think).

Try this setting:

- fb contacts sync (manual, NO AUTO)

- outlook sync (as items come in) other e-mails (1 hr auto sync)

- twitter (manual update, NO AUTO)

when half of ur 200 friends in facebook updates their status and profile pics every freaking hr, then you will have a problem with ur phone, especially with it SLOWING DOWN. so please do urself a favor and don't sync all ur 200 contacts at a time.
[HD2 General] tai4de2:
Nice theory, but no. The 2 .exe files are bit for bit identical.
[HD2 General] hawc1506:
Responsiveness for me has been fine, except:

Start Menu scrolling is not smooth, especially when scrolling up. EDIT: This happens in nearly all menus, including Start, the contacts list, settings, etc.

When dragging beyond a menu (like when you reach the bottom and continue dragging), the menu no longer smoothly slides back up, but instead snaps in place.

I did do a hard reset after installing the ROM. All automatic data services turned off (stocks, weather, etc.). The phone seems faster, but scrolling lags. I'll give it a few days for the software to settle in. Don't really know why that's needed, but it usually helps. But great tweaks, thanks!
[HD2 General] nickhaaa:
just joined hd2 crew.. device came loaded with 2.13.531.1 with a date of 4.28.10. so far the device has been working well for me and i am pleased. battery is not great, but i havent tried any of the tweaks yet.
[HD2 General] norgan:
IMHO most stock roms are a bit crappy lol

specifically with 2.13 the scroll drivers are different, personally i beleive this is actual programmed behaviour, it seesm to only scroll one screen at a time, which i can imagine may be easier for newbs to use.

personally i replaced the touch drivers back to 2.10 so i have that nice smooth and continuous scrolling.

as for radio, i don;t finnd a big difference, to be fair i am using the phone in a network it wasn;t designed for so bit hard to do proper testing here, it does seem to work well enough on anything 2.08 above radio.

As for anything else, well bascially i need choice so i have the luxury of cooking my own stuff in. this can take quite some time to find the right balance of packages mixed in from various roms and sources.

My advice, "Enable" your device by choosing a cooked rom. these are more customised and i think many of them do a much better job then either HTC or T-Mobile.

one last thing, don't judge a rom or hardware on quick assumptions or without at least trying some options. The reason this site is so busy is because, and i think most people here will agree, with some basic changes and options you get a much better result then accepting a factory build device. (i'm talking mainly of the o/s of course.).

the hd2 is an awesome phone and it deserves some patience to get the "right" rom for you.

also there is a new leo cpu clock app out that allows you to lock it at 1ghz, i found that this is a little snappier since the cpu isn't busy cycling up and down so much.
[HD2 General] hawc1506:
Can you tell me how to "downgrade" the scrolling driver? For me, everything's fine with the phone except for the scrolling.
[HD2 General] norgan:
there is no running fix for this. however it may be possible to package up the touch drivers.

i actually cook my own roms based on different rips and other kitchens, the rom is in my sig if you wish to try a custom rom.

Otherwise a request to package the touch.dll and touch3d.dll may get some results. I have no idea if this is even possible since the drivers will be in use when you want to overwrite them.
[HD2 General] smokeingit:
Jesus alot of posts and none of them make any sense, as i said before its been confirmed that the tmobile package is flawed and here is a link from tmobile it self to confirm it. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-HD2/HD2-Software-Update-Removed-from-T-Mobile-com/td-p/377646 I read all of the posts and none of them make remote sense. the package is bad and always has been.
[HD2 General] davewaave:
That link is interesting, thank you. Recall that I replaced my phone a couple of days after trying 2.13 on original phone. The new phone came with the new rom, with the same and identical issues as the downloaded tmo 2.13.

So it is not just the "downloaded" rom, but also the straight out of the box phone that is affected.

Not sure what doesn't "make any sense" as we are simply trying to figure out the glitches and to confirm that what one person experiences, someone else does also, and to therefore warn of the problems.

Performance update: the phone has locked up only 3 times in the last few days, which is good as we all now know. The issues remain the same as stated, but I have to admit the stability is better than 2.10. Battery lasts longer than before and Radio might be a bit better, though not significantly.
[HD2 General] smokeingit:
regardless if the phone was flawed out of the box stright from tmobile. 2.13 was a bad package and affected a percentage of HD2's. i just said that crazy theories on what the reason why the phone was shockingly slow. when it was a bad package, not end user or space aliens.
[HD2 General] Sylux:
well on what i heard they removed the update cause of download issues (which i think they may put another type of updater to 2.13 not the same one). most people say that the update though in pros and cons.

Pro: 1) less freezing, 2) more loading speed no more laggy 5 sec delay music tab...3) a little faster than before.

cons: 1) the screen sensitivity went down. 2) tends to be more laggy than 2.10
[HD2 General] punksux:
Here is the new Swype from the TMOUS 2.13.531.1 update.

It should just overwrite the old one.

I cant guarantee this will work on any other phone besides the HD2.

Edit: My phone has started freezing randomly after installing this. I'm not sure if it is the cause or not. I would recommend not using it for now, or use at your own risk.
[HD2 General] senor360:
Hmmm..

I love me some Swype.. do you know what changes/improvements have been made?

2.to know where are installed some files to modify them (for ex. for navigation app like motonav)

3.how to remove some programs (like Maps) that i don't want them.

Thank you all!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImmortalLuD:
Hey guys.

This is the first issue I've had with all of owning my phone since the beginning...

I remember after rooting and flashing fresh a while back, that my Google Maps positioning without the GPS, (using wifi networks), was way off. It still happens to be that way, even after the many ROM flashes and wipes I've performed.

I have another HTC Hero that still has Fresh 1.0 on it, with no problems. Without GPS enabled, the position is almost spot on!

Do you have any idea how to fix it? Seems to be off to the East by a mile or two.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonk:
I could be wrong as this is just a hunch.. But is the wifi on for one device and not another?

If wifi is on, the location will come from that, not the cell tower. So it would make sense if the wifi is on for one device it could show it either being less accurate or more accurate depending on the location of the cell towers or wifi signals.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImmortalLuD:
No, never use wifi on either phone. :)
[Touch HD General] illegal4eva:
Hi Guys,

My HTC TOUCH HD's backlight turns on everytime I receive a text message, it is really annoying as i sometimes get a message when im out and about with my phone in my pocket or bag, and it starts pressin lots of buttons because the backlight it gets turned on.

Is there any way of changing the settings so that it does not come on when i get a message? it never used to do this until i upgraded the ROM a few days ago.

Thank youuu! :)
[Touch HD General] qwertylesh:
Get HD Tweak, there is a setting which lets you keep the screen turned off when receiving SMS. ;)

linky
[Touch HD General] illegal4eva:
Hey, i tried it but theres no setting that does that :s it disables the notification that usually comes up but not the backlight switching on... any other ideas??? :'(
[Touch HD General] qwertylesh:
so 'wake up on New SMS' doesn't keep the screen off when you disable it? :confused:
[Touch HD General] illegal4eva:
woohoo!

OOOOOOOOOOO!!!! its workin now! woohooo! thanks for clarifying! :D what happened was i installed it and that option was alredy disabled, so enabled it and then disabled it again and then it started working, dno why it didnt work in the first place :s but it works now so its al coooool :cool: thanks!!!;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ampinc:
Can someone tell me which Rom is more stable and has best features I have Droid Eris Verizon phone
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
honestly, I think it has to do alot with the phone in question as to how stable it is. you can read up on the different roms and see how some find each one very stable and some dont. as far as best features, well thats up to you. What I might like or want you might not. I have personally run Ivans 1.0 and Sense-able 3.1, and am sticking with Sense-able for now at least
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECLIPS3:
this same question has been asked a dozen times...

my personal favorite is Senseable 3 by jamezelle, but for most stock looking, Eris Official by ivanmmj would work just as well. Some people say Evil Eris or Tainted Vanilla are fast as well. just personal preference.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ampinc:
iam using sense able 3 and so far it has been stable i had few issues with it but it now resolved thanks guys for the help
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
glad you got one. i have been using senseable for a while now, absolutely love it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0.

I like plain old sense UI, and Ivan has been cooking ROMs for years. It's perfect, fast, and looks like Sense UI is supposed to look. Perfect and stable.

[Nexus One General] KidTech:
So I got my N1 on Tuesday and get 3G-E bounce just like i had with my HD2 but never had it with my BB9700. So i'm wondering network issue or are HTC phones built like crap? Because didnt a new update fix these issues?
[Nexus One General] prettyboy85712:
It's a combination of network coverage and the radio band on your phone. There plenty of existing threads on the issue if you search.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
it also has to do with the antenna being in the bottom of the phone, behind the letter "HTC". so dont cover this part of the phone with your had, as it blocks the signal and makes it bounce frmo 3g to edge. spread apart your pinky and ring finger so that the word HTC is exposed and this greatly improves the signal. at least that's how i do it.
[Nexus One General] buddhag33k:
Solution I have found.

This is paraphrased from a reply to a blog post on Gizmodo. I refer to it often (the reply, not the stupid post). I assume this same answer lies elswhere in these forums:)

...hit the following keys into the phone dialer *#*#4636#*#* then going into the phone information and changing from WCDMA Preferred to WCDMA Only. That did the job and I never had any issues again. Furthermore, the areas that I lost 3G reception with my G1 and MyTouch, did not lose reception with my Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] mlemonds:
works great for me too

The only downside is that the phone will not have any service when not in a 3G area. There is about a 7 mile stretch of my commute that is EDGE only, so i either have to revert those settings or enjoy the 5 minutes of peaceful, quiet driving. I usually choose the latter.

Hey,

So i saw someones post this morning about the Gelaskins. Well i had a look into it (they look great btw) i went all the way to the checkout and found out the shipping to the UK was $19.99 (£13.75), i was like :O :O :O on top of the $14.99 (£10.30) thats £24. There shipping is supposed to be $6 to the UK. (screen shots below)

So i decided to email them about the problem this is there response:

'Hi Hugh,

Thank you for your email! The larger items can only be sent via UPS. May I ask which items you are trying to purchase?'

I replied saying

'I'm just trying to buy the HTC desire skin. Don't think that's too big.'

Gelaskin reply

Hi Hugh,

It's a little larger than the other phones. Just large enough not to fit the "standard post" requirements outlined by Canada Post unfortunately. If you wait a few weeks, this is going going to be adjusted. We are almost at a resolution!

So maybe there just trying to make us pay for the new release, but i think that price is slightly extortionate. What do you think?
[Desire Accessories] ChesterZZ:
Yesterday it showed me $5,95 for the shipping to Slovakia, today it says $19,95. Wtf ?
[Desire Accessories] Scottland:
BS, no way is this that much bigger than other devices. Besides $20 is too much even for a laptop skin...
[Desire Accessories] ChesterZZ:
I just checked the Nexus One and that one they can ship for $6. The Nexus One is the same size as the Desire. How is it possible they can ship the Nexus One but not the Desire. BS.
[Desire Accessories] thebarsteward:
I have already sent them a message pointing that out, I will let you know what their answer is.
[Desire Accessories] lennshow66:
Wish http://www.decalgirl.com/ did them, there prices are significantly cheaper. Ive also been on to them and they say the phone's on their 'list'. Maybe if more people requested it, it would appear :) ^^
[Desire Accessories] sactoguy:
I thought the expensive shipping costs would apply only to laptop skins, it is ridiculous price for a mobile phone skin.
[Desire Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
I was gonna get one of these, but I think, at that price, they can go stick their heads up a pig.

Rip off merchants.
[Desire Accessories] Phil750123:
Is there not any 3rd party sellers for these? Should be cheaper shipping i guess, who nows.
[Desire Accessories] thebarsteward:
This is the reply I received from GelacSkins today:

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your email! The Desire is actually slightly larger then the Nexus 1. It requires a larger package, and unfortunately exceeds the dimension requirements for Canada Post. It therefore must go with UPS, my apologies! We are hoping to have this issue rectified within the next few weeks. I hope that helps! Thank you again, Stephen. Have a great day!

[Desire Accessories] daveaus:
Would these cover up the proximity sensor? It looks like they would.
[Desire Accessories] siscopiso:
yeah it seems like it would cover the sensor, the pictures on their website are digitally eidted so its not really clear,,,,,,,,,,,,and yeah the shipping cost is a complete rip off, and the Desire is no where in hell bigger than nexus one!
[Desire Accessories] mrdo:
does anyone know for sure if the skin covers the proximity sensor ?

actually, where is the sensor on the phone ?
[Desire Accessories] thingr:
The sensor along with the display brightness adjustment sensor is in the top left corner of the screen, just left to the HTC logo. No idea if they really cover the sensors, I'd wager it'd need someone to go forward and try it. And it won't be me as long as S&H resembles a scam scheme!
[Desire Accessories] siscopiso:
is it possible to take out the back without removing the skin? if not, it would be ridiculous to install this!
[Desire Accessories] martuk:
Like a mug I ordered a couple of these, I'm really disappointed. Yes it covers the sensors, yes it stops you being able to remove the back cover, my main disappointment is that it doesn't cover the top or bottom corners of the phone and they are much thinner than I expected. I thought with a name like gelaskins it would be slightly padded, its not. It's just printed vinyl. Waste of money :(
