[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clio94:
Personally i prefer dual boot system.I like also wm and android and if htc wanted would give us officially this thing.China e-shops sell devices like diamond 2 clone with htc logo on it that runs wm and android with hardware a lot times lower than the hardware of hd2..I cant believe that htc has not the technology to give us a full working dual boot rom for hd2 ,but they are not going to do it....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pi_mento:
It has nothing to do with technology or knowhow, it's all got to do with money and willing to see an opportunity and taking it!

HTC and the European providers missed out on this one.

Rivival of the topic

The more I use my Desire HD, and Froyo on HD2 the more I hope. Native Android ROM. The SuperRAM build makes me dream even more.

So I have a few questions for this topic

1)Why is so hard to be done such a ROM???

I read the usual this could brick your phone and stuff, what is the problem actually. I do not know lots of technical stuff involved, but I wont mind some reading ;)

2) Is someone working in this direction?

3) Is the new SuperRam build a step in this direction?

Thank You
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dmattox:
The only advantage I see for a NAND is that you would be able to swap out SD cards on the fly, but I don't have a big need for that.

I actually like the current method of switching out the SD card for a new version to play with. There is never any concern I'm going to brick my phone because of a bad NAND write.

The SuperRam gives me a phone I like better than my wife's MyTouch 4G. Once the bluetooth power issue is resolved, I'm probably going to stick with this build for a while. Actually, who am I kidding? I'll keep swapping out for the latest playtoy the devs give us!!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deckoff:
Well, to be honest

1) The SuperRam 1.5 build is behaving really well - I dont see any differences between it and my Desire HD, to be honest. No Sense of course, but I think we will get it, and we will get it sooner than later I think :)

2) Getting a new build with just writing a few files to an SD card is definitely very convenient, hands down...

BUT:

I had my share of flashing ROMS over the years, and I dont see any bonuses of owning WM on my HD2 - it is just dead. I'd rather have Android only on my HD2, have it installed as ROM and forget about it(although, the only trouble I have now is knowing that I have WM 6.5 on my phone as well ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
1. When Android has nand access, it can also overwrite your bootloader. Big troubles. Devs want to make sure it's absolutely safe. Good thing too, that.

2. Yes.

3. Dunno, it's is own category I s'ppose.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ocm7:
1) Besides the possibility of bricking it, you need to be able to write code that can load a kernel into nand memory, plus have a way to load the loader itself. It's not easy and it requires quite a bit of knowledge of the hardware + software.

2) Yes, DFTeam (magldr)

3) No, it is unrelated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flipzmode:
Geek for Me is proud to release:

Updated Wimax.img for (version 26023_r01) for Evo 4g running Sprint OTA 3.26.651.3 (Android 2.2)

This has only been tested and confirmed as working on Fresh Evo 3.0 (release coming) but will work on every 3.26.651.3 based rom

Do not flash this unless you are running a 3.26.651.3 rom -- Fresh Evo 3.0+

If your wimax is broken, then this will not fix it! This is simply for Fresh Evo users who have not messed with other radios and need to update

If your wimax is already broken then check one of the numerous threads on xda that help with that. Let me reitterate... this will not fix a broken wimax!

Don't hold me responsible if you brick your phone :)

This is the new one from the 3.26.651.3 OTA

Flashing it is the same as flashing a regular radio. Ignore the fact that the instructions are for the Hero, they are very similar for the Evo. Check this post for how to flash it: How To: Flash a Radio Update Sprint HTC Hero

DOWNLOAD: http://geekfor.me/evo/radio/wimax-26023r01/

Edit: I didn't realize avalaunch had these inside his rom thread, my mistake.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
Jw are the versions of these radio and wimax updates diff from the ones ava posted
[EVO 4G Android Development] efuse:
Nope, not sure why flip is making a new thread for the same old ****.
[EVO 4G Android Development] athlet1c:
Way to go Flipz. Cant wait for the Flipz Froyo
[EVO 4G Android Development] flipzmode:
Unless I'm missing something, avalaunch only included them in the update.zip for his rom. They are not separate files......

Edit: Nevermind, I thought his extra links were mirrors. I didn't realize they were for each of the downloads. My mistake. You can let this thread drop off if you want, but it will be here for anyone looking for the radios.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frifox:
nandroid backup, flash this zip, backup again... now restoring back and forth while running speed test 3 times after each switch - getting consistent results:

old wimax: 300Kbps to 550Kbps down & solid ~120Kbps up

new wimax: 50Kbps to 120Kbps down & solid ~120Kbps up

results are consistent, and wimax radio was the only change between switches.

EDIT: i'll try again once i'm home, i get a much weaker signal there. will be a better comparison for the radio versions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] trixr750:
can i just flash this wimax update over my cm6 rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:
wont really do you no good since cm6 dont have 4g in it
[EVO 4G Android Development] trixr750:
good point. haha forgot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FusionX:
flipz, have you released your 3.0 as a beta to donaters yet? If so I didn't get a link!
[EVO 4G General] rluzania:
so i just installed HTC's update that they now pulled. And just tried to launch the camera app and all it does is, black screen with the camera icon then it fades back to the home screen. anyone else have the same problem with the froyo update??
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Nope... but glad I waited. Guess ill hold off until next week.
[EVO 4G General] gigadigit:
no problems with the camera. It's working fine for me.
[EVO 4G General] raptoreb:
I'd try restarting the phone once more. Right after I updated and booted into the system, I tried to make a phone call and everytime I clicked call it just went back to the dialer screen without any numbers input. Restarting fixed this. EDIT: However i just tried the camera and its not working just as you described. >_<
[EVO 4G General] rluzania:
yeah... i just restarted the phone and that fixed it. YAY!!!!! SWEET! SWEET! FROYO GOODNESS!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] thaSLAB®:
Have you tried power cycling? I've had that issue once with 2.1 - power cycling solved it, hasn't happened again.
[EVO 4G General] Jeremiah239:
I had the same problem after installing Froyo 3.26 and I rebooted a few times to get it to work and have had no problem since.
[EVO 4G General] raptoreb:
power cycling hasn't helped me at all. I'm gonna try resetting back to stock w/o my saved apps/data and see how that goes. After that, I'm going to try and downgrade back to 1.47 ota (someone in another thread mentioned it was doable.)
[EVO 4G General] Jeremiah239:
Before you do that try to open the camcorder app and see if it opens my friend said it worked for him IDK if it was just a coincidence.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
I updated and just noticed the camera does not work. I have tried power cycling with no success.
[EVO 4G General] raptoreb:
I tried camera app, camcorder app, as well as the shortcut that was on my home screen. No luck. Also, I believe I'm incorrect on downgrading being able to work but we'll see.
[EVO 4G General] spyngamerman:
same here i opened every app i have and no issues sorry to hear that bro i reopened the camcorder and camera app twice to be sure and takes pics fine
[EVO 4G General] raptoreb:
So, after numerous restarts, I turned airplane mode on so that I wouldn't receive anything while backing up and thus need to rebackup, and plugged my phone via usb to my computer. While the sdcard was mounted in ubuntu, I ran the camera app and it worked. I then dismounted the sdcard, unplugged the usb cable, waited for android to remount it, and tried again and its still working. I don't know if mounting the sdcard onto a computer fixed it but its worth a shot for anyone else having trouble.
[EVO 4G General] archeroso:
I had this issue also with the camera not launching, it would go to a black screen for a second and then go back to the home screen. I was browsing an album of a friend's facebook pictures from their contact card and clicked the shutter icon in the bottom corner to launch my camera and that allowed the camera to work via the application launching now. Kind of strange, but I haven't seen any other issues yet.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] trombone dixie:

[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
I was messing around with my captivate and i was noticing it wasnt getting same amount of service that my old iphone 3g did. When i was in an area where service was quite sketchy , i would put it down and get two or three bars. When I picked it up in my hands it would drop for one bar or no service.

So the question is do we have to buy cases for these phones since service drops so much by having direct contact with the phone ?
[Captivate General] systoxity:
no, cases are not necessary for reception.

If you are completely losing signal when its in your hands, you need to go to att and get a new sim card. If that doesnt work, have them replace your phone.

Note: if you are holding the phone by the bottom and losing bars but your signal is not dropping, this is perfectly normal. All phones do this to an extent since the antenna is located at the bottom. If you completely lose signal or drop calls because of it, you have a serious problem.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
what i have noticed thats not just 3g reception its wifi too which is weird, i pick it up in my hand i lose a bar of wifi when i am in the same room as the cablemodem/router that doesnt seem right.

Usually when i pick up the phone it drops the three bars i hold it in my left hand usually. Another issue is i bought this phone thru amazon since it was 30 bucks cheaper for upgrade price, will att still allow for trade in or do i have to send back to amazon ?
[Captivate General] hobolooter:
I too have noticed this with my phone. Never really noticed until this iPhone 4 shiz came out. Guessing its par for the course.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
areas where i used to get full bars i am not getting full anymore when i pick up the phone, it also happens with wifi which is really problematic.

Sitting in same room as router and cable modem and dropping below full wifi connection, and if i walk out of the room drops to one bar of wifi guess i will have to call att tomorrow and return my phone

Kind of off topic how thorougly do they check thier phones am i going to have to find an rom that has all the att bloatware stuff on it ?
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
This is a sad day really liked this phone , but appears i am going to have to return it , since this issue is a known issue so getting a new phone wont make these problems go away.

I was reading on another forum site that a lot of people having this same issue oh well i guess
[Captivate General] systoxity:
wifi doesnt drop for me... thats really strange. in any case if you are only losing about 2 bars its normal and will happen with most phones. If you lose signal completly then its abnormal and ur phone/hardware is faulty.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
yeah was reading about antennae issue on back part of phone where the battery cover is you cant touch it apparently. well i am going from 2 or 3 bars to zero bars pretty much.

An good example would be when i went into apple store which has 3g microcell tower in the store to hide the antennae problem with iphone 4 , i dont get full service and the iphones get full no matter how hard you grip them.

Going to give both samsung and att a call tomorrow morning to see what i can do i really dont think its fair to have to eat the upgrade and restock fee when phone cant perform normal functions
[Captivate General] hmodel88:
If you got the phone from amazon and are returning it, then it is free to return with no restocking fee. At least thats what they told me. All you gotta do is call the number for returns so u can get a return shipping label from them. Did you ask if you could exchange for another captivate at a local At&t Warranty Center?
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
I will be calling att and samsung tomorrow when i wake up to see what they have to say. As far as returning it to att, if its a known issue then an replacement phone will have the same possible issues.

So i did an little experiment to test 3g and wifi. I walked across the room, which has the modem and router, and stood by the door. got no 3g service in my hand, and the wifi dropped from full bars to just 1 bar of wifi in the same room.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
I don't know what you guys are talking about. I can touch the phone any which way and the bar fluctuates by a single bar, if even that. I get more fluctuation walking around in my house then I do holding it. The only time I've ever noticed a significant drop in reception has been literally covering the phone front and back with both hands. Maybe you guys are just in poor reception areas. Before you completely discount the phone and send it back, instead of relying on the bars, look at the actual db signal in the settings.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
I have looked at those i get an big fat zero. the other issue i have is my wifi goes from full to 1 bar by just moving to other side of the room thats not good at all.

I have been to areas of my town where i know there is full 3g service, and i get maybe two or three bars. i was thinking maybe an case would mask that particular issue since i am not directly touching the phone. The fact that i really like this phone i would just do the case thing if that were a solution
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
I will admit the area where i live doesn't have the best reception in the world, but when i place the phone on an table or sofa, i get -105 dbm and 4 asu. once i pick it up drops to 0 dbm and 0 asu quite odd.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
Just to make sure, I removed my phone from it's case, and plastered my hands all over it. With a solid 3 bars, I touched sides, with two fingers all the way to a two handed deathgrip. Not only did I not get a degradation of bars, at one point I got a bar increase! I palmed the back, front, cradled it my hands, held it to my body. I didn't get any change in bars.

Maybe it's the band of cell phone signal in your area. I know that either the 1900mhz or 850mhz is better than the other in terms of penetrating power, so if your signal is going over the weaker one, that may be the issue.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
I am just going to give samsung a call , when i actually use phone i am not touching the back of the phone. I have taken it into area where usually you should get full service and i dont get it if i hold it in my hand.

I also did an comparison with my old 3g iphone and the 3g was getting two to three more bars...

The other major issue is my wifi signal dropping from full to one bar in the same room of the router that shouldnt be happening
[Captivate General] systoxity:
well its like i said, this signal issue that you few are having isnt that wide spread. go get a replacement sim, if that doesnt work then simply have ur carrier replace your phone. you should be within the 30 day trial period anyway... dont bother talking directly with samsung, getting a phone replacement from att would be quicker.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
well the only issue with returning the phone i dindt buy it directly from att , got it thru amazon so returning to get a new one may be a bit problematic i think.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The iPhone's issue is different - it has an external antenna, and one finger in the wrong place rendered no signal - one finger bridging the gap between antennas - creating an electrical conductive circuit.

The Captivate (and all other phones) have internal antennas covered with plastic (the phone's case) - so the antenna is already covered.

Apple tried to deflect criticism by talking about "The grip of death" killing signal on other phones. While this is true, it is not what plagues the iphone - although it can. All phones will show signal drop if you wrap your hand (or some other signal blocking material) around the phone.

The Problem with trying to measure the signal drop, is that signal bars are not very accurate - you need to be in the phone menus where it shows you actual signal strength in DB - I don't think you will get this for WiFi though. Then of course there are all kinds of external interference issues - Microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc.

So, unless you measure this stuff in a controlled environment, like consumer reports did, where you can control the transmitter and all eliminate all external influences, then most observations are not including all environmental factors.

My phone works great, regardless of what the bars say.
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
well i have seen my phones service go from -105 dbm 4 asu to nothing when i picked up the phone. and then i would get the nice blue circle with line thru it.

I did an speed test also with phone while holding it and when putting it on an table , the times i would actually get no bars on my phone while holding i would get 1/3 the dl speed of when it was sitting on a table.

I will have to wait till tues to get an replacement phone and hopefully i wont have the same issues
[Captivate General] hmodel88:
so are you getting the replacement from att or amazon?
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
getting an replacement from amazon its getting sent out tomorrow and should be here on tues. What i noticed the more i play with the captivate is that if i goto landscape mode i get a few additional bars as compared to portrait.

My wifi is still a little suspect tho , i dont know what the cause for that is going from full to 1 bar within 10-15 of the router. That seems odd
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oopeteroo:
I have decide that i will keep a vamillia rom. Which on is the best?

Vanilliaeclair 4 or 5 or cmh 1.4.1 ? Which one is the most stable and fast and got the best batterylife?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Judim:
I think @dkelley is THE man to tell you. He flashs all the time all the roms. Mabe you can PM him.

In my opinion, VE4 is the best in terms of speed and battery life. CMH 1.4.3 is very good and very up to date (my choice for now). For VE5, well, wait for the announced update. It not yet as good as VE4.

The three of them are really good. stability, speed and battery life: all have them very good. You can't go wrong if you choose one of them.

So my choice go to CMH 1.4.3 for now because beside speed, stability and battery life I add the "up to dateness". And the combination of those 4 criteria give me CMH.

This is strictly my opinion.

Welcome in Vanilla Land!

[EVO 4G General] SharkUW:
Myself, I'm waiting for a rooted stock incremental or full ROM.

To clarify some confusion. This is what I've learned.

Ava 2.2 is a full ROM based on a leaked official update.

An early release (temporarily hosted by HTC later version than the ava leak) ota update has been released. It is of course not root safe and is incremental. You should be using 1.47 stock to flash it.
[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
Ava is a pre-release, version 3.25. The real deal hasn't come out yet but will be version 3.26.
