I have just set up a activesync connection between my google account and my email/contacts [just go to activesync, establish a new server, put in your email, password and the m.google.com for your server]. Really neat -as they just turn up in Android one you have sync'ed in WiMo.

Honestly, getting Android on the HD2 is great. However, why can't Windows be completely removed and Android remains without all these steps that go through Windows? Sounds clunky.

ok just a few questions android run flawless on htc hd2 TMOUS my question is the radio and rom carrier dependent?

spend alot of time over the last few days googling everything to get it running the only 2 things i wasn't able to find info on is rom and radio
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slackersink:
The way I ported them was:

Open Activesync

Menu-configure server

Server address- m.google.com and check encrypted

next

enter your username and password for your gmail account

If it makes you add a domain, use "google" without the quotes. It made me delete that, so try it empty first.

Then it asks what you want synched, I only checked contacts. Click finish and then sync.

I don't have android on now, so I can't do as good of a step by step for that, but I remember signing in with my gmail account name/password and they all appeared properly.

I hope this at least somewhat helps. :p

great guide! i actually just got a hd2 after owning a dream/g1 for a year, so i'm definitely looking to mod it up. could you keep the post up to date (or try your best to) so you have the latest versions for roms or whatever updates there may be? i'm sure it'll be fine after a month or two or reading up on hd2 development, but being a newbie again, i like having a thread to fall back onto.

I've been having a problem with the touch screen and G-sensor locking up on me for about 30sec to 1min when I switch apps or screens in apps. When the touch screen locks up, sometimes it helps to turn the phone to profile and then it will kick in after a second or two. I don't know if this has anything to do with the zimage or not but I thought I would bring it up.

Also the power usage is disgusting! 10%+ per hour. The phone is warm even in standby!

A reoccurring issue I continue to have, even after updating to the latest zImage and confirming I have a legit Ratio, is sometimes the phone's screen just goes black for no reason.

SOD (Sleep of death?). Sometimes there's no response whatsoever, other times there's a slight back-light, and I can feel response from the phone from the lock-out screen vibrating as I attempt to enter my pattern.

Tried turning off/on automatic backlight as well. :-/

Also on Dan1j3L's newest build, the notification bar disappeared as I was playing around with it. Quite odd. I attempted to lock the screen and come back in to see if it'd re-appear but I just got a black screen and couldn't get back in..

Simple question.

What happens to our apps if we change builds? i hear that the apps we download and install go into the data.img file on the sd. Will simply copying this file and replacing whichever one that comes in a new rom mean that we carry our apps over? What about our settings?

Been asking this question over and over for a while now..... beginning to think that its solution is either stupidly easy or ridiculously hard which is why no one seems to be responding.

Exactly what criszz said. Download utorrent or bittorrent or similar, and open the .torrent file with it. Then you'll be able to download the file you want.

Disable network time mode on your phone. It should be under date and time settings or so.

So far I've tried 2 different versions, dan1j3l's and Parad0XUA's, both with the 7-23 zimage. Parad0XUA runs slower, from transitions to playing games. I've also had some small annoyances with multitouch zooming. My 3G works great, though.

Dan1j3l's, while smoother, takes forever to use the app store because of very slow internet.

No freezes on either version yet. I'm loving this new android forum.

Well, there is a difference between TTS (text to speech) and STT (obvious). Just go to the store and look for an app called shoutout. Its another sms app much like handcent, only difference being that this one allows you talk into you phone and converting what you say to text. The downside is that you need a network connection for it to work or else it functions just like any other simple sms app.

oh, ignore what they say about your device not supporting the app. It will still work.

On a side note, i just put Dan's froyo build on my other 8Gb SD card. Is identical to the one that i use for Darks desireV5 rom. However, it doesn't get past the linux boot. It goes through most of the linux booting but stops right after android froyo comes up with an error message saying something about it not being able to mount the sd card. Its a cleanly formatted card and everything on my phone as is runs dark's desire rom. So i am kinda lost for what to do? Anyone got any suggestions?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kennethpro22000:
Hi, all HD2 buddies, firstly i would like to thank everyone involved in the HD2 Android project.I'm a Hong Kong guy owned the HD2 with darkstone desire build v5 and 23/7 zimange. My WM rom is BOA 6.5.X ZS1.4 which is a trad. chinese rom with radio of 2.09.50.29_2.

I would like to share my view after using the android rom here.

1. Usage of battery

Woo... it drains large amount of energy from the battery and i can feel the

phone warm.After some simple observations, under the standby mode, there is

about 1% of energy decrease in 4-5 mins.

2. Temperature of battery

After I have installed the SetCPU and Battery Status Pro(available in market),

the phone seems cooler(but i can still feel some heat release). I don't know

which apps lower the temperature.The battery temperature now is about 32.9-

35.0 degree C checked by Battery Status Pro.

3. GPS

It can't show my actual position in Hong Kong, that means it's not functioning.

4. Taking photo and vedio recording by origanal app

Unlike taking photo, touching the screen will not start recording vedio. Also, no

flesh light available.

5. 3G data, WIFI and bluetooth service

i)3G data connection requies the mannually input of APN, but in the market,

there's an app called HKAPN that can provide APN of HK the service provider.

So 3G data connection works fine for me.

ii)WIFI connection has no problem in my home.

iii)Bluetooth connection can only provide the audio and headset service, no file

transfer available

6. PC connection by HD2 usb cable

Can only for charging, my PC can detect new hardware (or usb mass

storage) but ask me to install the usb driver for functioning. There is a

removiable disk icon shown in 'My Computer', but double click it, it ask me to

insert disk. i have tried to re-insert the Micro SD card(Toshiba 16g C4) in my

HD2, but it still can't work.

7. Sleep of Death (SOD)

Luckily,no SOD by using 23/7 zimange, it seems that 25/7 zimange will cause

SOD,so i havn't update it.

8. 3D Gaming

I have tried Asphalt. It's a bit lag when mamy cars appear at the same

moment. i've heard that it can be smoothened after increasing the Cpu

frequency by SetCPU, but there is no root access for the android rom.

9. Problem hoped to be solved

i) Bluetooth file transfer with PC

ii) PC connection by usb cable (if problem i solved, that's ok for no usb

connection)

iii) Root access for the HD2 android rom, so i can overclock the CPU to max.

MHz

Above points are the ones that i am noticed and remembered, i would like to update them if i can find somemore later.

Lastly, sorry for all buddies here to understand for my poor English.

same here. Though I have two cards. I amusing one for android sense and one for froyo. The second card keeps giving me that error too and I have reformatted it like 5 times already. Same error with Dan's froyo and dark's Froyo. Not gonna try and run them from my other DesireV5 SD card for fear of losing android all together.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wj888:
Quick update.

My Android have been running for 2+ days now without SOD and battery life is acceptable (charge at end of day 10-11pm). This is daily usage with total call time of around 1 hour and I dabble in a few games using Wifi for another 3-4hours. 3G for call is by default but wifi and data is enabled only when I want to use them.

My built is darkstone desire build v5 and 23/7 zimange. My WM rom is AxLor early Feb 2010 built and radio of 2.08xxx. I've tried Froyo v1 and later version but found my built always has SOD within an hour or two.

So right now, I am happily using Android and not considering updating to 25/7 image. Now the headache is how to maintain all your data and apps when a better image comes out...
