Device: TMOUS HD2

WM ROM: 21911 Energy ROM (Aug. 1 Cookie Themed)

Radio: 2.08.50.08_2

Android ROM: darkstone HD2froyo V1

SD Card: Stock Class 2 16 GB

This was my first try at Android on my HD2. It is very smooth, and fast. Marketplace is pretty quick. No problems installing app updates. Most apps install fine. (Pandora, Slacker, Shazam) All working properly.

Calls are good (although can be noisy/static sometimes). I receive and send texts fine.

Wi-Fi works

Playing Videos and music from SD card works fine. Viewing pictures also works fine.

ISSUES:

Slight lag, (especially when scrolling in the app list)

Green screen of death several times

Battery life gets me to the afternoon (barely)

Get Sleep of Death often

Volume is kinda low

Taking pictures with flash is nearly unusable. Feels like too much flash. Picture comes out too bright / white washed

Onscreen keyboard has slight lag with key taps

Flashlight app doesn't work (tried a few)

I hope this doesn't make it seem like I'm complaining cause I'm not. I absolutely love that I have the opportunity to use Android now and am using Android about 70% of the time right now.

Rom: Miri_Steve0007_EleganciaGTX_V1.0_FINAL

Android: darkstone_HD2Froyo_v1

I've added the system.ext2 file to get GPS working. Everything is very stable, no issues except there is echo when using the phone for the caller. To solve this, I use the headset that came with the phone which provides perfect sound for both callers.

I never use bluetooth so I don't even know if this works(my guess is no). I would like to add the file that allows me to up the memory (ROM). Other than that I've very happy.

Edit: I also am using the 08/03 zImage. I think this sped up the device considerably for me.

German T-Mobile Stock ROM 1.72

Radio 2.10.50.19_2

zImage 3/8

Dan1j3ls Froyo V1 (without Sense)

copied libgps.so over

using michyprimas rootfs

Everything is working except bluetooth. Even USB file transfer, plugin the cable and select USB file transfer in notification area. Works perfect!

With setCPU I have a good battery drain of about 2% per hour when idling. But most of time, I set the data to 2G only, because Android seems to constantly flap between 2G/3G, even when 3G reception is well, which is eating up battery. But this also a known issue on Nexus One and not related to our HD2 hardware or incomplete porting state.

Tried a lot of different android builds / winmo roms / radios, and what I'm running now is very near perfect -

ROM: Miri /Steve Elegancia final v1

Radio: 2.12.50.02

Zimage: 8/3 Cotulla

Android: xtarantula

VERY smooth, fast and responsive. All apps I've downloaded work great, 3G works fast (occassional drop but picks right back up), up to 140 MB free ram (with launcher pro running), overall great call quality (thanks to latest zimage!), camera and camcorder work perfect, pretty much all normal functionality is completely stable.

Only a few issues:

Can't get GPS going (I believe due to xtarantula build?), screen will occasionally freeze up for up to 20 seconds (hardware keys still work and it always fully recovers), streaming video playback flickers a green screen most of the time, 3G occasionally drops (recovers quickly).

All in all, completely usable for me. I have not used winmo in days! But if I need to I'm still running Elegancia, my fav winmo rom so its win win!

As always, thanks to all the developers for all your hard work!

OK this is what I'm trying atm (yes it's in my sig but that might change).

HTC HD2 Telstra

ROM: OzDROID ROM

Radio: 2.10.50.02_2

Android w/HTC Sense

Build: mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.7ppp

So far I get screen freezes, Google Sky doesn't really work but that may be my phone (I've dropped it a couple of times so the G-Sensor may be dodgy), and the sleep of death.

When it works it is silky smooth. I've tweaked it a bit with Autokiller and SetCPU but then it seems everyone has done that.

I did try both the 'No Animations' and Disable G-Sensor via scripts solutions for the screen freeze but neither helped. I have noticed by using G-Script Lite to run an "uptime" script that after the freeze the system load is always high, so I'm going to try tweaking (via SetCPU) to allow more CPU usage when the screen is off.

I've also noticed the freeze may be related to WiFi having dropped out and trying to reconnect. I'm also considering buying SystemPanel to see if that helps me track down the issue as if it wasn't for that I could certainly live with it. I've had WM ROMs that were worse on my phone before apart from this one issue.

Battery wise it's easily going to last me a day, which isn't as great as WM but it's good enough. People need to remember the ROM has to calibrate to the battery so if they try something for only a day that's not really going to reflect the true usage.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenith601:
Currently using:

WinMobile ROM - Elegancia GTX V2.0

Android build - HtcClay's SuperHD2 V1.2

Radio - 2.12.50.02

It's more than one month I'm using Elegancia iteration and I have to say those ROMs work very well with Android, no problem at all.

On Android, I started with Sense builds, Darkstone at the beginning, than I used all versions of Mattc Leo, but the last one (1.7) gave me too much problems with freezing screen and battery life, even if really fast.

So I moved to HtcClay's release and I have to say I'm really satisfied with this build. With 1.2 version, all screen freeze have gone (even the ones related to sensor), the battery life is really good, reached already 1.5 - 2 days usage without recharging, a lot of data/mail sync, application installation, gaming around 1 hour total, some browsing, but no voice since I have a data only simcard on HD2 .. sure that's due to the fact I'm using using SetCPU profiles and keeping data/wifi connection under control (not always ON).

The only problem I see is that sometimes, the system slow down.. at first it was looking as a random problem, but I have seen it happens exactly when the phone start a data connection (not everytime), so I think its related to some application I have installed rather then the build.. as soon as I'll get some time, I'll try to unistall/install to check which one is.

The usb file transfer works well too, I don't know about BT headset since I have none

I can say I'm actually using android as my standard OS now.. going back to WM only when I'm out for a long business day and I want as much battery life as possible (battery life in HtcClay is already good, but not yet at the level of GTX custom ROM), or when I need to connect to proxy connections (it's a real shame android cannot connect to proxy through wifi)

I have the black MyTouch3G, and have been flashing Cyanogen ROMs on it ever since I bought it last October. Of all the Cyanogen ROMs I've put on it, I think 5.0.8 (Eclair) is the fastest and most stable one yet. Tried his 6.0.0 (Froyo) one on it, and just had too much instability on it. Is it worth $120? I totally think so. The only question you should ask is how much the phone was used, because with as much as I use my phone I think my battery is slowly losing its umph. I still love my phone though.

Your best hope is to wait for a 2.2 MDPI sense rom to leak and get ported.

Flash player will be built into the sense framework though, as it was done with the evo. This is my guess, and in no way official lol.

I am having a problem with the ESPN Radio App. The app opens and I am able to listen to the podcasts and sportscenter but it will not connect to any of the stations. It shows the circular arrows and says connecting but after a few seconds, it just fails and a square "stop" appears.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I am running Fresh 3 (froyo 2.2) with the updated radios.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vegasden:
My guess is Fresh did the poor AAC streaming performance fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737111 Do the "test" in Post 13 and see if it doesn't say "false".

I did so manually with another rom and found that (in my case) Yahoo Music Radio would not stream. Once I undid the fix, it streamed no problems.

Strictly conjecture: the newer apps (Yahoo, ESPN, etc.) made adjustments to the Froyo changes. Thus, maybe the "fix" actually broke the new apps. Pandora, on the other hand, hasn't updated in quite a while.

I have only tested it on Yahoo but that is my conclusion.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbombs16:
Thanks... I was able to connect to ESPN live streams if I am connected to wifi. So i guess it is only unable to connect with I am on sprint 3g/4g.

My espn radio app works fine after the 2.2 update. But now after the 2.2 update you dont need the app anymore. Just go to espnradio.com and launch the player..with the new flash upgrade the player works just like it does on a regular computer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbombs16:
Yea but if you put the browser in tbe background, it stops. Mine is still not working. Here's hoping for a fix.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowery23:
I would recommend checking out this suggestion. I was unable to stream any radio stations although pandora worked fine. I checked and confirmed that this fix was in fact applied on the ROM. I removed the fix and I am now able to stream my radio stations again without using Wifi. The apps I'm using are Cherry rplayer and also iheartradio. HTH and to the original poster I quoted, thanks.

But 4 weeks sounds too much for me, especially if the update brings nothing new, just the Orange apps... I would get rid of them anyway.

I hope Orange will lift the "lock out from the network" ban for the radio update.

that's silly...
[Desire General] bedeabc:
In case anyone didn't know, the new Froyo radio does not simlock orange UK handsets.

All you need to do is root your Desire, and flash the new radio (and then the Rom of your choice)

I'm so glad I rooted and left behind all the Orange junk in their Rom...
[Desire General] SavCom:
Well having unlocked my Orange Desire and gone through the OTA, I have to say very impressed. Best ever browsing experience on the train this morning with only one drop and good downloads even on one bar.

Very impressed so far but too early to tell re battery life. Even working in Orange at East Croydon - a first! Now if they could only give me better character editing from the keyboard I'd be a happy man.
[Nexus One General] ardatdat:
Just want to share my experience of 'best' charging method that can maximize the battery life of my Nexus one.

Firstly, let me introduce my equip:

- Machine: Nexus one

- Rom: FRF91 Stock, Deodexed, rooted, busybox... (Geo411m)

- Kernel: intersectRaven's 2.6.35_AVS-925mV_CFS_20100802_1056.zip

- Control: SetCPU, Interactive: 245-960Mhz when on, and 245-245 when screen off

The key method of obtaining max. battery life is the 'GOLDEN' time from 100% drop down to 99%. Once the battery shows dropping from 100 to 99%, the dropping speed is quite stably fast onwards :mad:

So, how to retain 100% longer before dropping to 99%? Below are the steps that really work for me:

1) Charge the phone to green light, some where between 90% and 100% (say: 95%)

2) Disconnect USB charging cable

3) Turn off the phone

4) Connect USB charging cable and charge the phone, it should show orange light

5) Set a timer, remember to *ONLY charge the phone for around 20-25mins*

6) The concept is NOT to charge the phone until you get green light. In order words, you need to charge the phone from 95% for 20-25mins where the light is kept ORANGE with the phone turned off!!!

7) After 20-25mins, disconnect USB cable and power on your nexus phone

8) You are done and the battery should last longer before dropping to 99%

9) Time in step (5) depends, you need to trial-&-error

For my experience, I normally charge the phone before I sleep and disconnect the charger. In the morning when I get up, it usually shows around 95% of battery. Then, I power off the phone and charge it. And then I take breakfast, bla bla bla ~ and after around 20mins, disconnect the charger and go to work. The battery can retain 100% for around 30mins of continuous web browsing, facebooking... and when I reach my office, sometimes, the battery still shows 100% !!!

So, above is my experience of how to maximize the 100% retaining time.

Please feel free to try and share with us whether it really works for you :D
[Nexus One General] Ryjabo:
Great advice.

Personally, I can't really be bothered with going out of my way to be overly concerned about battery life. I don't play games on my phone -- that will change when Angry Birds is released for Android -- nor do I watch movies, and I don't really do too much web browsing. Sometimes I listen to music, but not often.

I can go 12-14 hours of normal use (mostly Twitter and text messaging) and that will put me around 45-50%. I'm never somewhere that I can't charge the phone if I need to; USB at work, regular charge at home, and a charger in the car.

All of these tips and tricks for extending battery life are neat, but why bother?
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
^ Well looking at your usage, and the plenty charging points, of course you dont care. However, some ppl browse a lot, play games, so every last inch of battery life means something.
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
I just keep spare batteries in my pockets =D
[Nexus One General] Goonish:
I will try your golden tips.. then I will write my thoughts.

I thank you for sharing.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Screwing up the battery meter does not get you more battery life, period, and I suspect your shenanigans here is doing that. The battery has a set capacity, it's not going to charge more than that.

The Nexus One and a lot of other modern phones with modern batteries DO NOT trickle charge, they charge to 100% and STOP charging. When the phone drops to a certain limit, it charges more. Repeat as long as it's on the charger. This is why you might see it "drop a few percent" when you pull the charger.
[Nexus One General] seeking:
Yea this sounds like a huge placebo effect.
[Nexus One General] Goonish:
Well I just did this, been off charger for over an hour.. still 100% after over an hour and two reboots.

At 1378mAh right now, didn't get a reading straight after first reboot unfortunately.

I'm also trialing autorun killer. Disabled a free services I don't use.. seemingly increased startup time.
[Nexus One General] victorhooi:
heya,

Don't you mean decreased startup time?

Cheers,

Victor
[Nexus One General] Goonish:
Yeah, that's what I mean.
[Nexus One General] HTCinToronto:
How do you figure out your mAh level? Spare parts only shows me mV.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] mikroN1:
This is placebo. In the OP you even say after it finally drops to 99% it drops fast after that. It's because the phone wasn't at 100% all that time. It was giving you a false reading from messing with the charging pattern.

The best way I've found to charge the phone is to delete the battery stats, turn the phone off, and charge it until it's green. I get a great day of battery life with the phone that way.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Totally agree...I just charge when & where necessary and never worry about it! Don't have the time and it seems to last long enough for me to work & play :)
[Nexus One General] ram130:
I had already discovered this and was looking for a fool proof way but I guess you beat me to it. Happens when you traveling alot. For me, I have gotten over 1500mAh more than once..some times 100% would last me half a day too. So it's worth it, my question is whether or not this is bad for your battery? or long term battery life.
