[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaivo:
Oke when I remove the battery and press the on/off button a few times and leave it for a couple of minutes, stick battery back in there and boot it, I can get into windows..

Problem now is that after a period of a couple of minutes it crashes again and the same problem persists with rebooting, untill I do the same trick
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olaivo:
Found out new info about the problem! When I removed the battery for a short while I could boot it and do everything but it would crash again after a short while..

I removed the battery the whole night now and it keeps working for like an hour straight now. So it depends on how long the battery got removed (strange :S)

Next to that the X1 wont charge when it's shut down... Only when I get it to boot into OS..

Hi.

Yesterday when I woke up my phone couldn't pick up signal. I thought it was because of the heavy rain but now its still not picking up a signal. I flashed the stock rom and it could get signal some times but the problem is that it wont stay connected. Like when the phone goes into standby and you turn it on it loses connection again. I am now running the newest tabtastic chuckyrom. It only picks up signal outside but it loses it like every couple of minutes, and then takes a minute or two to connect again. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[HD2 General] danxtian:
flash a radio?? 2.12 maybe? works great for me
[HD2 General] cfcoleman:
Ok. Im gonna try that and tell you how it goes.
[HD2 General] cfcoleman:
Ok. i have tried it and it still doesnt work. Im goin to flash the stock rom back.

edit: The flash rom is on and off with the connection.
[HD2 General] Meishe91:
I don't know if you're using one since you're on AT&T but the SIM card can affect that if it is old or getting worn out. Replacing it will help if that's the issue. Happened to me a couple weeks ago.
[HD2 General] cfcoleman:
Ok. I went and got a new sim and its working ok inside but could be better. I just listed it on ebay and I will use my touch pro 2 until this sells and i get another one. But thanks for the help. Oh I also call HTC and they told me it would take a month to fix or send a replacement and that if the atennae failed that it isnt covered by the "Limited Warranty" so i would have to pay.
[HD2 General] ruffrider5956:
try calling back and speaking to someone else im pretty sure if your antenna failed they should replace it i had an antenna fail on a blackberry flip and they sent me a replacement.
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
Hi, I recently bought a T-mobile HD2, the unit isn't unlocked yet but I plan to unlock it and use it with AT&T, anyways I'm interested in running Android on the device. Would updating the HD2 from the HTC website which I believe is the official update website prohibit me in anyway from locking out Android or do anything negative in terms of customization of the HD2 unit?
[HD2 General] toreone:
I am running the updated rom 2.13 I am on t-mobile though and I am able to use android all day but once I restart it reverts back to WM. So I am not sure if this helps you...I was able to get everything running but the calls sounded robotic. I read I needed to flash to a new rom.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Well first, if you have the T-Mobile version of the phone, you do NOT want to use an update from the HTC site, that's for the euro version of the phone. The upgraded stock rom that you can use is available on T-Mobile's support page for the HD2.

Now, flashing to the correct updated ROM will not prevent you from doing anything...you'll still be able to unlock it later, you can still run Android, and you can still do any customizations you want. It's just a newer version of the stock ROM that originally came on the phone.
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
Hey, thanks so much guys, I'll search for the T-mobile page. I'm glad you guys caught it before I bricked me phone.
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
BTW, I read that you the T-Mobile Version of the HD2 doesnt use radios. What exactly are radios? I know they mean like firmware versions but what is the term. Also, do you guys recommend flashing a different WM rom or just keep the stock one? I tried to read about Android on the HD2 but I need some user advice. Is Android now stable enough for everyday use on the HD2? Also, could you use applications on the HD2 Android Rom? Will they work as they should? Lastly, why didn't the developers develop a Android rom that you could flash so you didn't have to reboot into it after every Hard Reset?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
The US HD2 certainly does use radios, it just uses different ones than the euro version...in fact, that's most of the reason the wrong ROM could brick your phone, because of radio incompatibility. As you said, the radios you see referred to here are the firmware packages used to control the hardware radios in the phone (voice, 3G/EDGE, GPS, WiFi, BT). When you flash a different radio, you're applying a different set of settings to the way all that functions.

That's generally completely a matter of personal opinion, some people will tell you that using a custom ROM is so critical that if you don't your grandchildren will walk funny, etc....whereas I am doing just fine running the stock ROM and just manually tweaking and hacking it to my liking, part by part. However, if you're going to be running Android on it, there's evidence that having a custom ROM vs the stock will help with some of the known problems with the Android ports that are available.

There's several builds available, and all of the current ones are remarkably stable compared to the first attempts. But, I believe that that there's still not any that are absolutely 100% fully-functional...each has some minor drawback or caveat, like BT or 3G or the camera not working right, but usually that's the only issue(s). Also, it's been a couple of days since I checked on those, so they may have come even farther since then. One common drawback to all of them though is the heaaavvvy battery drain...but this is also being addressed as quickly as possible. And yes, in every build the apps and marketplace seem to be working just as they would on any factory android install.

That seems to have become the final frontier for Android on the HD2...the release of a fully stand-alone ROM. Trust me, they are working on that, there's tons of members here drooling and waiting for that exact thing. It requires a completely different method of loading Android into memory, so there's a lot more kinks to work out
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
Wow, thank you so much sirphunkee, you sir are a scholar with your detailed response. Anyways, I apologize but I am intrigued by your response and more questions evolve. Once my HD2 comes I assume it will have a older ROM version and a official T-Mobile Update will be available for me. Now, I'm just wondering would I need to worry about what radios I need or will that be taken care of for me.

Also, I'm still a little confused on the whole radio aspect. For example, in this picture located here:

hxxp://support.t-mobile.com/doc/images/tm54430/tm54430_06.gif

The image version is different one is 2.10.531.1 and the other 2.13.531.1. Are these the radio versions or is this like the ROM version. If so how do I find out what my Hd2s radio is? I mean before I flash a rom how do I find out the radio it contains? For example on your HD2, sirphunkee, in your signature, you have:

ROM: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE/5.2.21889 (Stock 6.5)

Sense: 2.5.2012

Radio: 2.08.50.08_2

So I assume that you don't have the latest stock ROM right? Also, what does the WWE mean in your ROM version. Would you recommend me updating my HD2 to the latest stock ROM or not?

Also, I read before you flash a phone you need to install HSPL3 on the phone. This is what I'm told is a bootloader. But then Im also told that usually this bootloader is paired with official or leaked roms so that each SPL matches the ROM, so if I need to flash a HSPL3 on my HD2 before I flash a custom ROM do I need to redo it everytime? I mean the HSPL3 is supposedly hard bootloader that survives a hard reset so it won't be wiped from the device until I overwrite it so does that mean I need reflash it everytime I get a new rom so it matches the ROM?

Anyways, sirphunkee, you mention tweaking the stock ROM, would you recommend BSB tweaks or something else because I read about it and users have discovered that they lose some functions after tweaking their phones. Also would I need to install this if I just plan to tweak the original/stock rom?

Furthermore, is Android on the HD2 currently run over/on top of the WM OS so could that be the cause of the heavy battery drain? Also, is the Android OS on the HD2 booted through an exploit in the firmware of the HD2? If so could this be patched? Just a personal opinion of everyone here do you believe that Android on the HD2 that is flashed onto the HD2's NAND itself will be possible/could this final frontier be achieved?

Again I would like to sincerely thank you for everyone's patience with me, especially sirphunkee. Thank you.
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
Thank you again sirphunkee! Anyways I just got my hd2 and for the most part I like it. Though, I have a question, how can I backup my contacts so that after a new rom install I dont need to relink their facebook accounts again? Basically, I don't have the same names for my contacts, I only have first names so I have to redo it manually one by one and I want to use activesync to do it but it's telling me I need Outlook. Why do I need Outlook? Isn't that a stupid outdated email application? Also, how do you remove all the bloatware like blockbuster from the HD2? Is flashing a custom rom the only option?
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
Also, I noticed a problem that windows marketplace apps seem to not install. I try to install Skyfire and I see the progress bar and it goes to like 3/4 of the way and never goes past that.

An unrelated question I want to install HSPL3 I have a SPL 2.10.000 on my Stock 2.13 T-Mobile I'm wondering since in the instructions it tells me, that:

*YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE WHICH VERSION OF SPL OR HARDSPL YOU WANT TO FLASH TO YOUR PHONE*

*You can only select between SPL2.08.0000 or 2.08.HSPL. This is to avoid people with 1024LEO's installing an incompatable version and bricking their device*

What exactly am I suppose to pick? A SPL or HSPL? I mean I want to run Android but will this HSPL interfere with my stock ROM? Also, can someone give me like specific instructions on what I need to pick in the installer?
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
anyone have a idea? I'd like to experiment with android but i wanna make sure i have the right settings to i dontt have a brick in my hands after I'm done.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
If you're just going to put android on the phone, you don't need to mess with H/SPL at all...you only need that if you're going to flash to a custom winmo ROM before putting Android on there.
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
Thanks for your reply once again sirphunkee, but it says in this thread that I need HSPL3 to get android to run stably.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732380

Also, don't you need HSPL3 to flash a custom ROM in the first place as described here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653614
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I think what that thread is saying is that having a custom ROM is what helps with the stability of Android, not just putting HSPL3 on there (unless that's buried in that thread somewhere that I missed...). But yes, putting a custom ROM on the phone would have the prerequisite of HSPL anyway.

I don't have a custom ROM or even HSPL on my HD2, and I'm currently using the Desire v5 build of Android on here. It seems to run very stable, but I haven't yet gotten a few things working on it (i.e. 3G)...I can't say if a custom ROM would make those things work, but I can say it doesn't ever crash or hang or seem to slow down at all.

I just wanted you to know that HSPL wasn't mandatory for you to be able to try out Android on your phone.
[HD2 General] Poopmonkey:
Ok thank you so much sirphunkee again. Anyways, I'm wondering if you know why my weather will not update now when I ask it to on a Wifi connection. I try to update it and just says that its a connection error. And also my windows marketplace app installs seem to stall on the 3/4 complete and they never finish. Could you perhaps help me with that?

Lastly, I was wondering would you be able to tell me if I wanted to put a custom ROM on my HD2 what setting do I need to put on my HD2 for a successful flash?

[Captivate Accessories] wildkarrde21:
I have one that I used for my iPhone, the Captivate fits in it fine. I'm waiting on a vent holder and windshield attachment combo from Amazon (backordered).
[Captivate Accessories] rajendra82:
I got that one today. Looks to be very good so far. It is still in stock and not on backorder. Here are a couple of pictures of it in the windshield mounting. I haven't driven around with it, or tried mouting it off the dash or the vents, but it feels like it's going to hold on to the phone quite well the way I have it right now.
[Captivate Accessories] wildkarrde21:
Thanks for the pictures Rajendra82. I got an email from Amazon that said my order came in sooner than their estimate of 3 weeks (I think they just do that to cover their asses on items they don't have immediate stock on). Should be getting it tomorrow!

Has anyone else experianced lockups/ freezes when typing on the phone and hten it auto restarts. I noticed that i can type faster than the predictive text / suggesion can appear and the phone locks everytime. if i type slower its fine.
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
couldn't find anything in the user manual - is there any way to get it to sound longer than 1 minute?

i riipped the sound file from that samsung video (where are you going today) but it only plays for one minute

so i figured it might be something i did in editing the file, so i went back to the stock sounds, and still only plays for one minute.

btw - to that poster with problems - when i left my phone charging overnite, apparently the "battery fully charge notification" stopped the alarm action -
[Vibrant General] fragimar:
I use Gentle Alarm. Haven't had a problem with it. One of my favorite functions is the ability to choose an artist from you music collection instead of a ring tone. When ever the alarm goes off the app will pick a random song from that artist to play.
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
but how long will the alarm sound for ? mine stops dead at one minute
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I'm also interested in an alarm replacement. To make matters worse than the one minute time limit is that if I don't hit snooze it doesn't go off again, even though I have it set to go off five times. The stock alarm is pretty lame.
[Vibrant General] fragimar:
Gentle Alarm will keep going. I'm a fairly deep sleeper and I've never slept through it.

I have also run the 21667 Version on my Blackstone. I also have the german lang files from the 23563.

I doesn't have the Problem. All is fine. I use the Windows comm-manager, have running endkey, but no htc menu loader.

[Droid Incredible General] sryan2k1:
Hello All,

I replaced the SD card in my DI (Stock 2.1-update1), with an older 8GB I had laying around. Now every once in a while the phone says the card was removed without warning. Powercycling the phone won't bring it back, however a battery pull will, as will ejecting and re-inserting with the phone on.

This leads me to believe it's not a contact issue (as the battery pull fixes it)

I want to see if anyone else has similar problems, and try and see if it's just a ****ty SD card (I don't have another to try long term, but I can just grab a 8/16GB from amazon if I have to) or if it's related to bad hardware in my phone, or some software issue.

Thanks in advance,

Spencer
[Droid Incredible General] jp43:
I haven't noticed random unmounting of the SD card, however I've noticed that when I plug my phone into a usb port of a Windows 7 machine it will mount the SD card.

Some apps will notify me that my SD card is mounted and I have to manually set my phones usb mode to disk drive and back to charge only in order to unmount the SD card.

This happens on the leaked 2.2 with the 2gb SD card that came with my phone.

Maybe both instances are bugs?
[Droid Incredible General] jp43:
Is your SD card formatted to fat32?
[Droid Incredible General] Θmega:
My card is formatted in FAT32, with the 2.2 leak, and it unmounts the SD card whenever I plug it into the stock charger in the wall. Would reformatting it to something else stop that?
[Droid Incredible General] sryan2k1:
My card is formatted with whatever the phone formats cards as. Mine seems to stick to USB only when it's plugged in, maybe just a bug of the leak for it defaulting to something else.

Do you have Sync installed?
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
In my experience, I was running the 2.2 leak with hydra kernel and it was giving me an SD mounting error constantly. Never did I have a problem with stock. Thats why I just went back to it actually.

hey yall, am i the only one who finds myself checking in the development section and searching twitter for a new froyo rom for the Vibrant? lol Someone has a Rom working and you have to do the adb method and all this and it has a few errors. This phone seems like a power house. A5ren't yall ready for some Clockworks flashable roms? I wish Paul's Modaco custom rom for the galaxy S 19000 was compatible with this
[Vibrant General] ZombieDude00:
Yeah I'm too checking the forums daily but it is what it is. I was on a cliq XT with 1.5 so i'm still happy at 2.1. I've just reached the point that I'm admitting I had Motorola couple weeks ago i would have never said that.

Either way September is when 2.2 is due so its just a matter of time.
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
lol yeah. im grateful but slightly jealous of the evo, my old nexus and the original galaxy s getting froyo already lol
[Vibrant General] dnob:
me too bro!!!
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Kernels are now flashable, wes has updated & chimed in with more progress of the CM build, most of the devs are working with each other to get at least 1ROM running. What more do you want? Oh CM dropped, flash, cool.... now what? Learn??? Develop?

Appreciate the fact that every single galaxy S developer is trying to make this possible for the galaxy S community.

Dock Nothingness from the market.
[Nexus One General] GuestK0050:
Well this sort of worked.

As an example, if I'm running the Speedtest.net app, it appears that when I put it in the dock, it still does something wierd where it resets the screen and the speedtest.net app gets interrupted, stops what it's doing, and starts over...

So not quite what I was hoping.

get "Dock Util" app from market, it can disable "lunching" of clock app when you dock your phone.

we all remember that story about that apple fanboy writing how Android is a sinking ship. remember right? well read this http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/02/canalys-android-takes-q2-smartphone-market-share-lead-in-us-wit/ it states that its up over 886 PERCENT from this time last year!!! sinking ship.....i think not :cool:

from the site:

"We knew Android phones were selling like gangbusters -- Google has been none too shy in telling us as much -- but numbers were slightly less clear in a larger context. Well, if a new report by Canalys is to be believed, those numbers are just fine in a larger context. Canalys claims that in Q2 Android was up a whopping 886 percent over last year's sales during this time period (remember, the original Droid didn't come out until November), and those wild sales put it at 34 percent of the US market, compared to RIM's 32 percent and Apple's 21.7 share. Of course, RIM has a big launch on the way, and we're not sure how much of the iPhone 4's heady run this report captures, so things could naturally look different for Q3. Also, it's worth noting that the breakdown of phones actually in use is of course dramatically different. Still, nobody is doing that bad: the smartphone market is up 64 percent year-over-year, and Apple and RIM grew 61 percent and 41 percent, respectively. Oh, and remember Nokia? Yeah, they're still beating the world with a 38 percent market share and 41 percent growth. Check out the press release after the break for all the percentages your heart could ever desire. "

It's pretty amazing how Android has transformed in a year. At this time in 2009, the myTouch 3G was brand-new and Donut was still a month off.

Try wrapping your head around that. I *was* one of those myTouch buyers and I still can't believe it's only been a year.
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
i know. all that change in one year is amazing. i had an iPhone 3GS this time last year. n i hated how the only way i was able to make the phone suit my style was by jailbreaking it n even then its not as customizable as Android. so i sold it n i was using a G1 and it was rough around the edges (not rooted) n i read about the nexus one. it was a risk paying $500 for a phone i never demoed. now, it was well worth it n glad i took the risk :D
