[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markus_del_marko:
the hero is a slow phone...no doubt about it and sense makes it crawl to a halt. i regret coming back to this phone after owning the evo for a week. i got rid of that phone because of lack of customization.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
No offense u should of gone with a moment...all I see u post is negative things about the hero.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
my hero is blazingly fast. faster and more responsive than the stock evo's and DInc's ive played with.

ive no dialer lag. im rooted, nfinites .6 odex version with darch #6 kernel. so fast. so fast. i also love all the customization ive been doing in the graphical areas, bars, the 3g icon, etc. the hero really is a great device...i often have to remind myself thats its also a telephone. heres hoping for the cdma htc legend(which im sure sprint will call the hero 2. ill call it the htc legend)

also, op, if you would like to solve your lag issue there are countless ways to do so. look around in these forums, the members and devs here are amazing brains... and with a little instruction/research you can do almost whatever you want to with an htc hero.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmwagner:
It happens on my Alltel Hero too. It's known issue and Alltel has sent notice to HTC for a fix with no response.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Let's get back on topic, shall we :)

DonB, have you downloaded any task managers or task killers from the Market? Using one of these on a stock non-rooted phone is a great way to kill programs that run in the background to free up memory, which is where the lag is probably coming from.

Advanced Task Killer (ATK) is my personal favorite. It basically allows you to kill (end) open applications that are sucking up free memory. One of these is a must-have app to improve battery life and smoothness of your phone. PM me if you need more info.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJB628:
No, I do not use any task killers as I was told they cause issues with other programs, what I do us is a shortcut for running services and everyday now I reboot my phone once in the morning and then click on the running services and stop process on 3 apps, Gtalk, CS Vmail as I use Youmail, and Sprint TV, there are others in the list but I am not sure what they are so I have not stopped them, LOL but any advice you recommend I am will to try, for now I have downloaded Launcherpro and have been using that for a week or so and have notice it has been much better, there is still some lag at times , but not nearly as much as when I had HTC Sence UI as default, so it is much more manageable, before I had 30 sec lags with HTC Sense at times , not all the time but it was painful when it was that long, now worst case scenario is about 10 seconds ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prosive:
I don't know if this can be done or has been done, but I would like to use different keyboards in different apps. For example in messing I want to use swipe and in there browser I want to use the droidx keyboard. Is this possible?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neckface:
Install whichever keyboards you want, then when you wanna switch, long press on the text field and select input method, then select the keyboard you want accordingly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prosive:
I know I can manually switch, but I was looking for something more automatic. Thanks for your input though.
[Vibrant General] tweak89:
I loaded a couple of movies on my phone and they do not display properly. They are both the wider 2.35 aspect ratio so should display with thin black bars. Instead they get stretched taller to fill the screen.

Are there some settings hidden somewhere?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
There is a button in the lower right corner of the player for stretch options. One is original and I'm sure that's the one you want. Just tap it a couple of times.
[Vibrant General] tweak89:
Doh! For some reason I thought it was the stop button, guess I should have pressed it!

Thanks.
[Desire General] ChesterZZ:
I ****ed up my phone somehow and I don't know how to fix it. I was going to install a new Rom, was wiping data and went to partition my SD card to try A2SD. I couldn't do it in clockwork recovery so I thought I'll connect the phone to my PC and run Paul's recovery from r5 rooting method. The problem was that somehow both recovery's were running and I'm not sure what I pressed but now my phone can't recognize the SD card, nor can the PC recognize the phone when I connect it. The Rom can boot up, but somehow it's not working properly, I can't make/receive calls but for example WiFi works. I guess its not bricked since Android launches but I have no idea how to fix what I messed up. Somebody please help me :(
[Desire General] cgrec92:
Your device is usb bricked, search for usb brick in the development, this can be easily fixed.
[Desire General] ChesterZZ:
Thanks, I found it, but I'm stuck at step 1: "Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card."

Where should I enter that command ? Thanks.

EDIT: I fixed it ! :D Thank you so much. I knew it will be easy to fix just I couldn't think clearly and forgot about the USB bricking issue :D
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
I was on the phone with T-Mobile Support (611), regarding my HD2 and the issues that I am still having with this device. The rep. stated that T-Mobile is aware of the issues on the phone and that the 1st ROM update did not resolve them all and caused some new ones.

She stated specifically this new update would resolve the issue of the device hanging after you try to wake up the phone...also, the "unreliable data connection" issue is still prevalent (I still have this problem - and I have tried everything I can think of or read about). She stated that there are other fixes that they are working on to resolve with this new update.

I could not get a solid time frame, but she stated that it should be pretty quick, given that they issued the first one within a short time frame after the HD2 release.

Now, I'm not sure if this means an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3, but I wouldn't count on it. I just hope it is released soon. This device is so nice and so awful at the same time. Constantly I experience little nagging issues that make using this device such a hassle.
[HD2 General] falconeyez:
Have you tried just flashing it to one of these custom ROMs?
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
No I have not yet tried the custom ROM yet on the HD2. I like the way the T-Mobile ROM are, I just am getting fed up with the "unreliable data connection" BS. Also, the phone (since the ROM update) has been running slow and I don't think that is acceptable with the 1GHz snapdragon on this device. My only other issue is that the speaker phone stops working because T-Mobile added some stupid software to the device. If you dial 611, the software pops up and tries to solve your problem via webpage and stops the speaker phone from working till you restart the device.

While that is a short list of issues, they are major issues in using the device. But I think i will wait till this 2nd update comes out...if it does not resolve my issues, custom ROM here I come!
[HD2 General] gtrplr71:
I belive flashing NRG will solve your issues It did mine.
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
Which issue did it solve? The data connection issue?
[HD2 General] gtrplr71:
Data and freezing as well not to mention the phone just flies now. flashing a new radio fixed reception issue
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
well I will give it a try and see if it resolves my issues as well. I figure we have about a month or so before T-mobile releases the 2nd update. I know I will not be able to last that long with these issues. It is just a pain in the a-- to flash ROMs every day...I'm not into doing it all the time. I would like to find a good stable ROM and run with it. It just takes too much time flashing and reinstalling all those programs and changing the settings to where I like them all (too much work).

Like I said it is a shame, i really like this device on paper, but in the real world is just has some serious issues. I thought i would get a year or two out of this device when i bought it, now I am already looking to swap this puppy out. I'm looking to see what is coming down the pipeline. I refuse to go with WP7 (feels like the step backwards with it limitations as compared to WM6.5 - and i don't want a device that clones the iPhone of 4 years ago)

Anyone other suggestion on custom ROMs?
[HD2 General] gtrplr71:
NRG 21911 is very solid and you don't have to flash everyday it has xda uc and pim backup witch will back up and reinstall all your software I did it yesterday in about 20 min. I refrain from flashing during the week. the the first time it will take about an hour just read all you can on it. 670megs free space on device 13gigs on sd and 300 megs of free RAM
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
I'm downloading the 23121 Cookie Dinik Glass version right now...I'll let you know how it works on my device. thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate it!
[HD2 General] cabrone:
tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
are you getting everything to work with Android? i did not think they have a fully functional Android ROM for the HD2 yet
[HD2 General] drvl123:
They're all the same...

My biggest complaint is the bad data connection. Paying too much money for crappy connection. I can't even get connection in my lower level of my house. I think every carrier and cell phones all have their own problems. My two co-workers, one with Droid and the other iPhone have similar problems. Droid keeps freezing 2 warranty phone exchanges so far and iPhone looses connection frequently. iPhone guy wishes his would freeze so he could get a replacement. So it's not just me.
[HD2 General] MISTYKILONE:
Help me please

So i tried to install android, and on gthe web it said i needed to install hpsl well my phone had it set to 2.10 they stated i needed 2.08 or earlier so i did it but the install still didn't work !!! How can i return my phone back to 2.10 and still get my warranty back
[HD2 General] steve austin:
android fo real?

i read on pocetnow that android is being worked on on xda. seen a couple of post too, but there is always some component not really working. is there an official android post where all the kinks are worked out? i would like to switch if thats the case. thanks.
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
Wow is all I can say about that NRG ROM....it is great! does everything I have been looking for, no data connection issues since last night (I'll report back on this issue as time goes by). It's fast and very stable (so far, but hell I'm impressed), and I did not even use most stable version the 21911.

The UI is great, I love the three pages of app slot, everything is within one or two finger stokes this way. It also gets rid of the apps that I don't want (ie TelNav, etc...) but keeps most of the apps that I do want...I can always install cabs for the programs I want from the official ROM. Plus it has cooked into it all those sweet tweaks and settings. Great work, I'm not even waiting for T-mobile to release the 2nd update any longer.

Thanks gtrplr71 again for suggesting this custom ROM, it's so nice, I don’t even think I will be trying out any other ROMs.
[HD2 General] bobsbbq:
I would not get hopes up of a 6.5.3 upgrade. Could you imagine the Technical support nightmare if they had to troubleshoot 2 different OS versions?

This is one reason I think Android and Linux will really take off in the future.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
There's a HD2 Android section in the original HD2 area (euro hd2 section).... but it is a work in progress. There are still a lot of issues and kinks. It will be a while before it works as well as a native android phone. But the progress they've made is unbelievable. It's great having both winmo and android on my phone.
[HD2 General] gtrplr71:
your welcome don't forget to make a backup with pim backup to your sd card and use xda uc once you get things settled. Have fun!
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
how does the xda uc work? i could not figure that out, when I ran the app it stated that i did not have that file on my storage card...but it appeared there somehow.

Also, the incall record does not seem to work at all. when i lauch it (after I connect or before I connect a call) all I get is a blank lined page (note pad page).

And, is there a list of the added and removed apps somewhere? I could not find it in the ROM thread.

As for the 6.5.3 upgrade from T-Mobile, i don't think it will happen either and right now, after trying the NRG ROM...I don't care. I'm not even going to try the T-mobile 2nd ROM upgrade. Now with Android comes along on the HD2 (fully functional) then i will surely set up a dual boot situation on my HD2. That is like the best of both world.
[HD2 General] gtrplr71:
(xda uc)-you wont notice anything different It will run and monitor the phone for new settings when you decide to flash a new build it will auto run and import settings and apps.

[HD2 General] Blairware:
I saw this one coming!

Dude, as I read this thread and saw you go from skeptic to livin' large with Energy ROM, I couldn't help but smile. It goes that way for a lot of folks, holding on desperately to the stock ROM, and fearful that a custom ROM is just going to open a new can of worms (It actually does, but the payback is SO WORTH IT!)

I laughed when I saw you saying you would be happy now to just stay on this energy Build. We'll see, my friend, we shall see! Even if you stay with Energy, there are little tweaks and fixes coming along at a rapid pace. I dare you to resist re-flashing to a newer build, LOL!

I was pleased to see you express that "Initial Shock" of just how much better these devices get with a nice ROM. Try going back to stock after having what you have now, and you will wonder "How did I ever put up with this crap!"

- Enjoy!
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
yeah, I have to admit, I was gun shy on trying a custom ROM. I was fearful that it would be unstable or not have the items/apps that I want on my device. I have always been willing to install a cab to fix remapping of buttons, etc...but a complete ROM flash just seemed to be asking for trouble.

I used to think, "there has to be a reason it's called an official ROM". How silly of me.

With ROMs like Energy, I think I could use this device for at least two years. It is amazing how stable and fast this device is now. And yes, I do have to admit...I was checking out other ROMs today, BUT I WAS ONLY LOOKING LOL.

Actually, truth be told, I just downloaded the Core Cell EVO v2, I'm going to give this a spin tonight and see how it runs on the HD2. You are right, I will most likely flash new ROMs to the device; it feels like a search for the "perfect" ROM. Hell, it has peaked my interest in trying my hand at cooking my own ROM, but I don't know enough about the process to even know where to begin.

To think yesterday, i was thinking I can't wait for Emerald to launch in Nov so that i can get rid of this HD2 and Win Mobile for good. Today, I can't stop exploring and playing with the device.
[HD2 General] mvaughan06:
ya, i'm waiting for cell evo 2.1. i've had v1 for a couple months, better than stock for sure, still experiencing the "non-wakeup / endless sleep" thing. its very random, could do it once a day, once a week, or several times a day. i hope 2.1 is better, though it's already an awesome rom.
[HD2 General] davewaave:
"non-wakeup / endless sleep"

Been posted before, but don't forget to try unchecking the "home timeout" go: settings > all settings > home > items, then at bottom is the "home timeout." Worked for me.
[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
Try the Miri ROMs. They are also some of the fastest and there are several that are close to stock. One of the best ROMs Ive used v17.6 for sure :D
[HD2 General] DaDoctor:

[HD2 General] dkb218:
You mean you installed HSPL on your phone without knowing how to revert back to your original spl? I wonder why no one responded you your post.:confused:Go back to the thread that you got HSPL from and read it. Yeah, the whole thing. [Search is your buddy...]
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
You know, I think everyone has heard about searching for the info you want, but sometimes (and this has happened to me) you spend so much time searching and you still are at square one. It would be just as simple if not easier to just tell the guy what he wants to know so that we can be as helpful to each other as possible...Please, no one get on my A-- for saying that....I know, I know....searching is what you should do before you ask a question.

Anyway, here is your answer to your question. If you installed HSPL3.0 all you have to do is use the HSPL3.0 program again. It will give you the option to install HSPL or SPL 2.08....those are the only two options. Go ahead and install the SPL 2.08 and then you will just flash the stock T-mobile ROM back to the phone and the T-Mobile Rom will upgrade the SPL 2.08 back to 2.10

Also you should be aware that you can just flash the stock T-Mobile ROM over HSPL, it will not be a problem. Now, if you are looking to return your phone to T-mobile for warranty issues they may notice this, but I'm not sure if they will or not. Just to be on the safe side, revert it back to SPL 2.10.

I hope that helps you...and yes you should do a search on this like everyone on this forum states, but sometimes it nice to be able to just ask a question and get a direct answer to your problem (search results are only as good as your search techique).
[HD2 General] muchelaguito:
Dude, you have to try Elegancia Rom. They are on their V10 version now, and it is awesome, fast, stable and very eye candy. It's basically Miri's rom, but tweaked for visual impact. I have been using it since v9.0 and never go back. Give it a try.
[HD2 General] cdguider:
?

It's truly amazing how off topic this thread is.
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
I will try it and Miri's Rom, so far i have flashed this puppy with 6 different ROMs. At this point, without trying Elegancia or Miri's yet, I have to say, my favorite is NRG 23673 Cookie Dinik glass Jul 24. my next favorite was Core Cell Evo v2 23569. What i would really like is the icons from Core Cell and the fuctionality of NRG. I also liked that way Core Cell speaks and tells you what its going to do when you first install it (auto installing cabs,etc...). Also, has some programs on it that I like, but that again isn't that big of a deal, you can always cab them. Of yeah, I liked the messaging app used in Core cell, it has the attach file button with great icon right in the typing window along with the send button. But the NRG ROM has the bubbles in the text history, which is kind of nice.

So i would love something that could combine those features together. but i will for sure try those two ROM tonight. Thanks for the suggestions!
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
you are so correct, we have gotten out topic of the upcoming 2nd ROM update from T-mobile....but that is okay, we are exchanging ideas and learning from one another. Also, the entire discussion has been with regards to ROMs and ROM Developement.

But you are right, we are off topic.
[HD2 General] cdguider:
Off Topic

The only reason I mention this is because XDA is a monster, you have to search through so much information. Then you go through page by page, only to find out your reading stuff that has nothing to do with the thread topic. This is why the moderators closing threads or moving post. Unless you know how a search engine truly works and what wildcards to throw at it. Just like the post I'm writing now. People will get to the fourth page only to realize the rom isn't even out.
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
you are right, I fully understand your comments and agree. We'll try to get it back on topic. Thanks for helping to try to get us back on track

Hi,

i bought HTC HD2 T-Mobile unlocked from the US and now currently i live in Saudi Arabia

if i update the phone will it remain unlock or the new update will lock it

Thanks
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
Yes it will remain unlock, once the device is unlock...it will remain unlock forever regardless of the fact that you may update or install custom ROMs. Also, if you are looking to update your phone with the official T-Mobile ROM (not sure why you would do that since you are now in Saudi and T-Mobile ROM would not be correct txt, data, or voice mail settings) there is a second T-Mobile ROM update. The First update did not fix everything but this second update seems to be a great improvement to the ROM.
[HD2 General] 31lived:
Thanks a lot

i didn't want to flash the phone and install custom ROM yet i wanna use it for a while then get it to the Kitchen for try out

so can i install any HTC HD2 ROM upgrade in T-Mobile version?

because it's true i have issue with the Data connection maybe due to the fact its T-Mobile version also the Wifi.
[HD2 General] jfarhat:
Well you can install any ROM or updated ROM you want to your phone, it will not lock the phone again (once it has been unlocked)....as for the data connection, you will not be able to get data connection if you do not change your setting in the phone to match your current service provider. If you have a T-Mobile USA ROM installed, the data connection setting will auto be set to T-Mobile USA. Since you are in Saudi, you will need to figure out what your current providers settings are and then you will be able to get data. As for Wifi, it should work either way....Wifi is not provider specific, it should work with any Wifi connect (as long as the security settings can be handled by your phone if it is a secure Wifi connection).
