Flashing or loading anything on your phone will never change your IMEI. T-Mobile will only ever see that you have an HD2. It doesn't matter what is running on it.

The issue with data is that it isn't working 100% http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Status

Desire Manual

FYI: the desire manual is available from here
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] imrazor:
Both builds claimed to have 3G working, so I was going with that. When I check the IMEI with the Cotulla build, it does show a different IMEI than what is displayed in WinMo. Now granted the Cotulla IMEI may not be the IMEI that TMOUS sees, but at least a few other TMOUS users have theorized that TMOUS is identifying those w/o Android data plans via the IMEI. Is this a bogus theory?

Btw, why is TMOUS so uptight about Android data and tethering?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
use the browser and your 3G works. The 3G data isn't fully working correctly yet. Think of it as about 80% working. Still more testing etc. For some it's working. TMous cannot tell the difference, unless you call them and tell them. Even then they will still see the HD2 and keep your non android data live. Look, many are running android on their Touch Pro 2's and it doesn't affect them for the past year. So just don't worry about it, it's a bogus theory. Proven wrong with the other devices dual booting android already for the past year on AT&T , T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon. Done....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
for those that have corruption in Sense and CHT after running haret etc.

What program are you running to launch Haret? Default file browser? or Resco file browser. Also are you running "Windows Default" instead of Sense? Or nothing?.... I'm just trying to find something in common that may help pinpoint a fix for everyone. Thanks

Ya I have the same issue. It worked the first time, but didnt like the ip i entered. Now it wont pop up again. I am probably going to have to take everything off the sd card and start over. Should i use my global or local ip (i.e. 69.___.___ vs 192.168.___)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chuck232:
Should be local IP - I've tried without any success. Wifi does work fine on the Cotulla build though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ukerfanatic13:
sooo... darkstone, could you please help us with this wifi thing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voiceofid:
i went into my adapter setting for my pc and got the rest of the subnet mask, dns and gateway infos and the wifi worked.

if you've use android before, the "windows button" is the same as the "menu" button on an android phone, which brings up the settings of each application while you are inside of it.

while you are in the wifi menu, press the "windows button" will bring up a task bar on screen for the selections of "scan" and "advanced", select "advanced" and enter all the information it has asked you. for the ip setting, set the last digit little bit further down the line (if you have many pc like myself, i put it to 192.168.1.10) then add all the other settings into the list as well (gateway, netmask, dns 1, dns 2) and then press the "windows button" again and select "save" after that, it should connect. it worked well for me, thanks for the build darkstone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ukerfanatic13:
the issue here is that when i press the windows/menu button, i do not get any kind of a menu - nothing happens. I also completely removed everything from the build then tried putting it back on, and no luck.

Same email issue...

I've tested this several times. It has been happening every time I leave Android and go back to Windows Mobile. All of my emails are gone. I check this thread pretty regularly and haven't seen a resolution for this. Does anyone know of one? Is this a known issue that the dev's are aware of?

The progress is truly amazing, thanks dev's!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ukerfanatic13:
ok, for whatever reason it worked this time. If for whatever reason, when you press the windows key in the wifi menu you do not get the scan/advanced popup, try this: in WM, do NOT run CLRCAD.exe, boot and do not press any hardware buttons (until later). Open all programs, select settings, wireless, wifi, THEN press the windows hardware key. For whatever reason this worked for me.

@Darkstone and Other build makers

Are these builds made from a system dump? How did you compile them to be bootable. All dumps I downloaded are just the system folder, can anyone help me with the question?

Latest cotulla build here,

US Tmobile here, but 3G doesn't work. Phone does have a connection with the network and even shows a 3G icon & good signal, but nothing works with browser/market place/maps etc. Switching to WiFi instantly works, any ideas, maybe radio? (2.10.50.26_2)

I can confirm this as well for any other Tmobile USA users here. No IMEI stuff. I've had for the past year & a half a blackberry data plan ($25) but have used a windows mobile, android, iphone & blackberry phones with it! As far as data, it has always worked, T-Mobile can't simply tell which phone you're using & deny data connection. BTW I also ran a Touch Pro 2 with Android and 3G data worked perfectly..

I can confirm I'm having these issues too. I normally disable sense all together, and select nothing for the Home Screen items. I should mention that I've used different programs to run Haret: Total Commander & WM's File Explorer. After running Haret/Android a few times, my Windows Mobile install becomes very unstable. Same results, WM begins to randomly freeze without even enabling Sense; & when I do re-enable Sense, it fails to load, e-mail app or browser cause phone to freeze often, etc..

I think it's safe to say that for now, there's a real risk of corrupting WMobile with these test Android builds. Now that's not so bad if you don't mind a Hard Reset, just think of it as flashing a new ROM :D

Also timer for me works randomly, sometimes good sometimes wrong/too fast which causes music playback/etc to be off. I know this is shown with the blinking bar when Android is booting. Is it known why it's so random working sometimes & sometimes not?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ashrak_22:
I have the Timer issues as well, it was correct only time with Cotulla build, but since i shut down the phone and then booted again, i've been having quick timer ever since. (Desire and Cotulla builds)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 0Reefa:
I've been selecting "Windows Default" instead of Sense and using the build-in Windows file browser to launch Haret.

I also tried a freshly flashed rom (KWBR HD2 3.1.1) without CHT installed and the same thing happened - when booting back into WinMo and restarting Sense after a graceful shutdown of Android, Sense was not starting properly, buttons missing etc. Had to hard reset. Also noticed the date (and time) in WinMo had gone forward by over a month.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nabeelmoeen:
Hi,

I'm facing another issue on top of the Sense and CHT missign buttons... I am unable to launch any programs that were installed on the SD card. in fact if i remember correctly I copied the PIMbackup.exe to phone storage and tried to run that but got the same error "not trusted or missing a critical component".

Is this to be expected? and will a hard reset resolve the issue or do I need to format the card?

Other than that, I found the android build quite stable, used it with wifi for about an hour before shutting down to reboot into windows. can't wait for the phone to work :D

Thanks a lot for everyone's effort involved in making this work, the only reason I went for HD2 instead of wait for Evo was my faith in the XDA community to eventually have the option of running android on my HD2 when i felt like it ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mderksen:
I disabled Sense in Settings - Home. I use the default Explorer to open Haret.

I've got the Dutty Leo Holy Grail V4.2 NL ROM.

Sense in WMO restarts a lot. I need to hard reset the device i think.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
The first time I run it I had the same issue. Rebooted phone, run Haret again and it worked.

Check the date on your phone when you go back to Windows. I had this issue and found the date to be in the future. My email was set to download the last two weeks of "future" email which was nothing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] youngarty85:
Cotulla's version works perfectly on mine, but if I have the phone go into sleep mode for a while, it just goes black and I have to restart my phone. 3g and wifi works perfect. No camera or calls, but I know you guys are working on that. Android Market works on 3g or wifi for me.

New Desire 2.5 build

working

Wifi, with static IP input

Not working

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NathanRandom:
Yesterday I will able to freely access the Wifi settings using the Windows button, but using it today the Windows button has only brought up the Scan+Advanced options once. More often than not it would go back a menu, or move back to the home screen.

Just restarted my phone, and the Windows button seems to work properly now, always bringing up the menu. Worth trying a restart.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] d3l1:
from the desire 2.5 build:

Note: DHCP does not seem to be working properly, try setting IP address manuaully

Note: Change your wallpaper to a non-live wallpaper after setup, this will increase speed of the build

Note: Turn auto back light off in windows mobile before booting android. This will prevent the backlight from turning off.

Note: To prevent your HD2 from freezing when it attempts to sleep, set screen timeout to 30 mins in android settings.

Note: To enable sound, run CLRCAD.exe before you run HaRet.exe Don't worry if CLRCAD.exe doesn't show anything, it's not supposed to.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bramgg:
could you tell us how to set the static ip manually for the latest desire build, as I'm trying to get it working but no luck so far.. (when I do, will i be able to download and install aps and games from Marketplace?):D

[EDIT] I've found it, in the configure wifi settings; push the windows hardware button; advanced. Here you can configure the ip.

Hey willgill,

Yes, my date is usually in September (3 months in the future) when I reboot into Windows Mobile. Changing the date back to the current date does not fix the issue, I find that the account has to be deleted and re-created. This is kind of an issue :p. Anyway, I've tried disabling Sense and it does the same thing when I run Android from Titanium as well.

Any work arounds that are out there, please post here.

Thanks to all!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mmbika:
Can anyone please really confirm does HD2 really charge while plugged into USB port / charger while Android is running? I ran into to emty batteries twice so far even leaving it to run plugged in.

Edit: OK, I found out battery charging is Work in Progress.

Aslo, wifi loads webpages instantly but 3G takes a hell lot of time to even do a google search, however widgets are working OK. Why not browser speedy with3G while widegts like weather are normal?

I am on Android 2.1 (Nexus One) and music sounds just terrific on Android compared to WM 6.5 even with later I use SRS WowHD, music on Androd seems more full, rich and filling the area surrounding it!

And one irrelevant thing I observed is that I am not able to log into new interface of this 'forum' in IE 8.0 but old interface logs me in without any issues. So does there some java screipt running on new interface which isn't compitable with IE 8.0? I use IE 8.0 for flash, else I use Minefield (firefox 64 bit) for normal browsing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
I can't for the life of me get this new Desire build working. I have installed in exactly the same as I have all the others and it does the normal things on boot but eventually, after the "htc-acoustic:release" message I get a blank screen with an underscore (_) in the top left hand corner every time, I have left it for about 15 minutes but it didn't go anywhere.

Deleted all the files and copied across at least 4 times (Winrar direct to the memory card and I even tried extracting to my system first and copying accross) but made no difference. I have also tried running CLRCAD.exe and not running it, not that I thought this would make a difference.

Any advice?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mmbika:
May be your radio? It needs 2.10 or if it is lesser than that (i.e. 2.08) you could browse last few pages (go from last page to backwards) of the forum and can find the answer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Radio is fine (2.10.50.08_2) - I have had at least 5-6 Android builds working fine previously which is what is quite weird.

I am still getting a timing issue where the cursor is going like faster than all hell. I was under the impression this was fixed with the new kernel, if it's still a "we know, shut up about it already, we're working on it" thing then I'm sorry, def. not trying to be "that guy"

also, might flashing a new radio solve the timing issue or is this independant? Everything else seems to be working very well, it still loads android and everything works, it just goes on hyper speed.

This issue has been fixed by Netripper with his kernel updates, but Cotulla is still compiling his own images and his patches/changes have no been fully passed into mainline.

sounds good, thx for the update, yeah I'm not going to bug him about it.

I didn't see a sense ROM, so im assuming you have to put in the build yourself. Is there a how-to on getting the other builds to run on Haret? is it as simple as replacing the Zimage on my SD card with a different one, or do I also need a new haret, and any other files?

Perhaps it's an SD card issue? You might try formatting or repairing the SD card (CHKDSK works for this), or perhaps you could try a different/faster SD card. I've been using the 16GB card that comes with my TMOUS model without issue.

Sorry if this is against any rules, but ive tried searching to fix my minor problem.

Pretty sure i have read about people downloading and installing apps, it could be the phone it could be my google account. Any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] corollatercel:
My advice would be to just wait for a more stable release. At the current moment I can load android and use the browser, download several apps from the market and do a few cool things but I still get random freezes then have to do a battery pull. The builds have come a long way in a real short time. Just be patient and soon we'll have dual-boot. HTC/Google should put these developers on a beta testing payroll, seriously. The things they're delivering in such a short period of time with probably half as much resources is scary.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ashrak_22:
The timer issue,

1) set the Explorer as your first icon on Home screen

2) Reboot your phone

3) imediately when it asks for PIn click cancel

4) Let the Sense be started

5) imediately when you can click the Explorer shortcut

6) launch Haret from explorer as soon as it is possible

this works for me :)

Blacking out issue:

The screen is set to shut down itself after one minute, and the first login to your account can take up to five minutes. Android on HTC currently has an issue that it freezes after the screen is shut down, therefore you might wanna skip the login to gmail account at first, change your settings and login after that (by starting Market for example).

hope this can workaround your problems before the are fixed by the developers :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
Thanks! on the blackout issue, I'll try.

On the timing issue, what do you mean when it asks for a pin? my phone never asks for a pin, maybe its a password option I never set.

There's gotta be like a start-up folder or a setting to load an app before even sense launches right? that might be easier, or if I disable sense and as soon as winmo boots at all just hit "start" and click on a haret icon that I can set in start menu maybe?

Amazing...but 720p?

I just wanted to say that I think it's amazing how far this project has come in such a short amount of time and that I eagerly await the day when dual booting is easy as pie.

But the real reason I'm posting is I was just wondering something...the qsd is capable of 720p video playback. Several wm and android devices are able to play 720p video handily (LG expo, Acer neotouch, HTC Evo 4g, etc.). But HTC in their usual fashion screwed us over with the drivers yet a-friggin-gain with the HTC HD2 but I was wondering if it's possible to bypass the crappy wm video drivers since linux, and thus android, accesses the device's internals directly so in short: anyone watching some 720p on their hd2's? I mean technically it shouldn't provide any higher quality than watching at the screen's optimal resolution but the nerd inside me says "hey, if they can do it, why can't I? >.<"

If no one has tried it, I'd sure appreciate it if they would try it out and tell me how it works. I do realize this is still in the beta phases but it'd sure be interesting to see how it works. I'd do it myself but my sd card is too slow and there's no wifi here so there'd be no point for me trying to use android right now. Sudan isn't exactly brimming over with wifi hotspots apparently...
