I have noticed that when I restore a nand backup that all my apps come back and the market recognises them.
[HD2 General] nedko76:
I changed touch screen and after that loose WIFI and BT signal

maybe antenna problem
[HD2 General] Robert A:
wow. I have buy a second hand device and I have the same problem. For sure my screen was changed. I have open the phone from the video here:

http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked

...but nothing :(((

Antena it's in up-left when you watch on phone.
[HD2 General] hagba:
I am almost sure at the left side directly under the volume button .
[HD2 General] hardik119:
Those videos are awesome..I see myself disassembling my HD2 after couple years:D
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
It won't be in the upper portion of the phone, as this increases the strength of the radation the head is exposed to. I believe there is a law prohibiting it from being too near to the skull. Which is why all antennas in modern phones are internal and not placed by the speaker at the top of the phone.

Although this seems to not apply to GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which is what those wires by the speaker at the top of the phone are.
[HD2 General] msnuser111:
The cell antenna is the strip on the bottom below the battery door,the wifi antenna is at the top right (if looking at it with the screen up),and the gps antenna is at the top left. There is a white cable that is supposed to run from the gps antenna to the bottom side of the main board,and a black shorter antenna cable that is for wifi that plugs into the top part of the board. I have a pretty strong feeling that the person that fixed your phones (whether that was you or someone else) probably didn't plug that cable in the right way.

<EDIT> By the way,if either of you want one that works the right way/for parts,I have one for sale that the volume buttons don't work and the lcd is cracked,but everything works other than the volume buttons.

Anyone ever have any antenna issues without taking apart the phone? my phone just developed issues with dropping wifi unless im close to the router, im guessing an antenna cable is loose. and for those who have fixed the antenna issue, how hard was it?
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
according to the HD2 manual, the antenna is the bottom 1/5 of the phone
[HD2 General] marianchez:
WiFi antenna in HD2

The WiFi antenna is located at the right of the camera watching the camera in the back panel. If you watch this video, http://pockethacks.com/category/service-manuals/, you will see that the Bluetooth/Wireless atennas are located together and connected to the main board with a coaxial cable.
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
What this guy said +1
[HD2 General] Hopper81:
I find myself in a similar situation to nedko76. I had to take my phone apart but just the case away from the screen circuit boards etc because the plastic led shield had come lose and was touching the vibration device causing a strange noise.

So i managed to get the phone apart (which was not as easy as shown in the video) i didn't touch the screen part at all, put it back together again and switched it on. To my relief it switched on, all looked good, the noise had gone from the vibrator however the only thing that is not working is the wifi.

I'm hoping someone has resolved a similar issue without the need to reopen the phone again as i can't help but think i will do this and see nothing wrong. Which would either mean i've somehow damaged the wifi circuit board or something else.

I use wifi alot and will miss it loads if i can't find a way to fix it.
[HD2 General] InfX:
As already mentioned, WiFi antenna seems to be feeded by a tiny cable, it is probably using some tiny coaxial connectors, those are usually relatively easy to accidentally disconnect. I would start from looking at those and making sure they are "wedged in" properly.
[HD2 General] Hopper81:
I have taken the phone back apart and checked all wires are pushed in and everything is connected from what i can see. But still nothing.

Wifi switches on but just stays at scanning. Now does that mean that the wifi is working but the antenna is the issue.

I'm just wondering if its a software issue somehow. As i never touched any part of the board, or antenna etc whilst it was apart and like i've said i couldnt see anything out of place or loose.
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Dude,

There are 2 brass clips on the top right of the motherboard which attach to the rear case antenna. Make sure these brass clips are correctly functioning and working. There are 2 for the gps at top left big ones from memory then there are 2 at bottom for radio antenna and two at top right for wifi.

Make sure these are all ok...

If you can post a detailed photo(s) I can give you more assistance. Zoom in the motherboard and the clips if you do provide pictures.

Good luck :)
[HD2 General] Hopper81:
Yeah i saw these when i took the case back off yesterday, i looked at all them to see if there were any differances, any broken off etc but they all looked fine. I did lift the ones for the wifi and bluetooth just a little bit to make sure when the case went back on they would be in contact. But still no luck.

I find it difficult to believe that just taking the case off pushing a little bit flashlight plastic back into place would really stop the wifi/bluetooth from working.

I'll have to keep searching the web to see if anyone has resolved the same issue and what it actually is. It would be interesting to see if people take their cases off then just put them back on again if they have the same issue or whether somehow i've messed something up.
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Dude, show me a pic of motherboard to see if all your connections coaxial are ok.

Otherwise, your hardware maybe fubar. I have opened mine several times and no probs.
[HD2 General] Hopper81:
Right I took my phone apart again this morning to double check everything. I noticed the cable attached at the bottom as mentioned in previous post. It lifted off a bit too easily, so I positioned it correctly and pushed it back down, my WiFi now works. So that was my issue.

So my advice would be if both your Bluetooth and WiFi do not work, it is more than likely the cable is lose. (more likely if your phone has been a part obviously)

Thanks for everyone's help and advice on here. :) no fubar hardware here thankfully
[HD2 General] Flarne:
Common problem after service?

I'm also experiencing this after changing a smashed screen... The accident it self did hardly cause this since I used the phone with full performance for about a week between dropping it on the ground and draging my sorry ass to the retailer. Since I don't intend to open this stuff up I guess I'll have to go back there. I will refer to this site if they try to indicate that their sloppy disassembling isn't the reason... Please, feel free to boost me with more cases like this...
[HD2 General] vdl:
I have replaced the screen myself and have the same problem with Wi-Fi only.

I dont know why Wi-Fi run only without the battery cover.

I' m trying to torque chassis for looking if it is a mechanical issue but it seem not.

I've tried also to connect the two little contact they are at the same level with the bottom of the battery looking the phone from its back without the cover.

I've not found yet any relevancy with the presence or not of the back cover related with Wi-Fi transmission.

I remember that when the phone was disassembled, I have slighty lifted with my finger the bigger one of the two lamellar contact of Wi-Fi antenna; anyone know if this could be the cause? Must to touch these contacts chassis or not ?
[HD2 General] vdl:
nothing else ?
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Definitely ,make sure these two lamellar contacts are equal height and make proper contact with the antenna(rear case). Also check the coaxial plugs are properly connected into the mainboard.

Good luck..

it goes to 105 dmb before 111

still have signal at 111

after that it goes to signal lost (tries to downgrade to 3G/2G before)

personally i've a hard time making it lose signal. when i already at -105 i can by covering it with hands then putting my hands in a box or covering on top with my body (yeh i look dumb when i do that)

otherwise i can't

for the GPS it's another story.. it cuts when you touch the screen sometimes.. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qazz~:
Experienced poor signal strength myself, try using country specific modem when flashing via Odin, You can flash Modem itself to try out which one works best.

Tried flashing multiple modems on my phone and some seems to work better than other, could just be a placebo effect though o.o
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhjp99:
does that mean it is a hardware issue or can this be improved by software upgrade..

Recevier senstivity is mobile's basic functionality , manufacturer's shall not compromise with this basic parameter .

I have checked signal strength at various locations but it never improves from -81dbm

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
Hi guys,

The power button on my nexus one died, and I tried to get the phone replaced by htc singapore.. but all efforts were futile. So they replaced the "Rigid FLex" jacket for free and gave me back the phone..

I dont really have any complaints, other than the power button

still feels flimsy

and I dont trust it, since it causes a lot of inconvenience.

NOW, can I use the volume key or trackball to wake the phone up ?

Would any of these buttons Die like the power button (are they equally flimsy ? )

Ive been reading on custom-roms which will add trackball-wake-up option..

-Could you point me to the most stable rom? (Im running froyo frf91)

-If rooting is required, could you point me to a newbies guide to rooting..

Thank you
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harunjo:
cyanogen rom can do trackball wake up...trackball unlock...and pressing menu will lock your phone..

i suggest you to download rom manager from market...

and dont forget to learn about how to unlock and rooting your phone..

or you also can root your phone without unlock your phone...

use search function..you can find a lot resource to root your phone

Thanx.. :)

I did use the search button, but it gave me tonns of threads, with a 100 pages in each..

So I had to start this thread.

My phone is unlocked.. (sim-free)..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
There is no SIM-locked Nexus in existence, as mentioned multiple times. "Unlocked" stands for "Unlocked bootloader", doesn't have anything to do with SIM. Yours is locked, since you just got it and never unlocked it.

I suggest you read the Wiki instead of continuing this thread, read all the guides, use 1-click root application and DO NOT use ROM Manager. Learn to install the custom recovery yourself, and to install ROMs using the recovery. Everything is written in the Wiki.

The most stable yet heavily customized Froyo ROM would probably be Enomther's, which I personally use.

Hi, i was reading and stumbled on Softroot.

I cannot find more info on it..

Its apparently, temporary rooting.. like jailbreaking..

Can I do a softroot to achieve the track-ball wakeup ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Use Universal Androot.

There is no "temporary rooting", and rooting isn't equal to jailbreaking, it's a different thing, done for different purposes. Rooting is permanent, otherwise it's worthless. Having 1 session of root access (until reboot) doesn't accomplish anything, unless all you want to do is delete some system application or something of the sort.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
@jack_R1

Hi, I used the 1Click Androot app to Root my device. Im backing up apps and settings using titanium backup.

My next step is to flash the custom rom.

Im deciding between Enomthers 2.11.3 NOT Pre_Themed ROM, and Nightly's CM6 for Nexus one..

So to clarify things, I need to

1 rename the Custom rom to Update.zip and paste it to the Root of SD card.

2 Rename the Amon recovery image to recomevry.img and paste to root of SD.

3 Turn on the phone while holding Volume Down

4 Select "BOOTLOADER" from the menu

5 Select "RECOVERY" from the menu

6 Select "Flash update.zip" or "Flash ZIP file"

7 Turn off verification, if such option is presented

8 Select your downloaded ROM image

9 Wait for the flash to finish successfully, if it didn't - do not continue!

10 Return to main recovery menu

11 Select "Wipe"

12 Select "Wipe data / factory reset"

13 Select "Wipe Dalvik cache"

14 Return to main recovery menu

--> Reboot the phone

?

Is there anything missing? please lemme know. I wanna do this asap.

Also, Im already updated to Froyo Radio (v4.06...) so I do no figit with radio .. correct?

-Also, when do I configure SpareParts? (before or after flashing) ?

-What is the difference between pre-themed black text and pre-themed white text? (black notification bar with white text on top)?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You got some things confused.

1. No need to rename it. Using custom recovery lets you flash anything with any name.

2. Since you rooted using 1-click root, you don't have a recovery yet. You need to flash it before you reboot to it. Read and execute: Nexus One Wiki / Recovery Images / Amon_Ra's Recovery / using flash_image method. Link for your convenience. You could also go to Developer section and download the latest 1.8.0.1 Amon_Ra's recovery instead of 1.7.0.1 in the Wiki. I'll update the Wiki to give a choice between the two.

3. Continue your list till the end.

Nothing needed for the radio, if you're already on 4.06.

Spare Parts will appear only after flashing the ROM.

Pre-Themed black text is regular, white text is for black notification bar - just as you wrote.

Personally, I run Enomther's since Froyo is out. Before that I was using CM. You might try them both and see which you like more.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
Well, thanks for the reply.. Ill look into it after the ADB hurdle.

Presently, Im stuck at the ADB step..

I got the android sdk package, got nexus one drivers.. but for whatever reason, it wont show my device in cmd prompt..

I have pretty much memorised the adb for beginers guide.. but no luck..

(Im on Win Xp)

This is turning out to be a pain in the rear end..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You don't need ADB to flash recovery.

Follow the guide I've pointed you to.

Return to ADB once you're already on the custom ROM, it won't run away.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
Flashing the recovery image was quite a task!

Luckily I googled and stumbled on a thread where YOU mentioned to download and install BusyBox.

So yes, Ive flashed it finally..

Im downloading the Enomthers ROM now.. slow net connection.. will load it in a while if it allows.

Thanx a bunch!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
hi..

Done installing custom rom.. it was pretty staright forward once recovery img was flashed.

I would like to add some info, for someone who stumbles on this.

In recovery options,

For backup/Restore.. when you select Nand+Ext, and end up getting 'Error...Run nandroid-mobile.sh', press back to goto the main menu, toggle USB MS (mass storage) on, plug it to the computer, delete the nandroid folder, and try again.

If you still get the error, delete nandroid folder, and this time select 'Nand backup only'. if succesful, proceed to copy the nandroid folder to your computer.

So far Ive installed themed enothmer rom.. and its decent.

Will customize it tomo..

For the time-being, ive noticed one issue/bug .. the LED light blink interval is too quick even on selecting 'Slow'.

Thanx Jack!

Hi,

Now that Ive successfully flashed a custom rom, and its working fine..

I noticed an update to enomthers rom. (v2.12.2)

I want to flash this rom, so do I have to re-flash recovery? and then flash this new rom?

Or just flash the new rom? but then do I wipe/factory reset and wipe Dalvik cache of the device?

Actually restoring the data (especially mesages and apps) is quite an issue, it takes a while (considering im on EDGE)..

also, is it recommended to make an apps2sd partition on SD card? I did get low memory warning on internal memory.

and last, I just want the black status bar and 'some' custom icons (not all), so is there a way to install these on otherwise stock looking enomther rom?

I know they are some noobish questions but I need answers..

Thanx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You don't touch the recovery once it's flashed, as long as it's working. You just flash the ROM using the recovery that you already installed. And don't do any wipes - so you won't have to restore the data.

Apps2EXT (EXT2 partition for apps on SD card) is great and highly recommended.

You can apply themes, simple as complex, using morphs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
Hi Guys,

Need your opinions again.

I was extremely satisfied with Enomthers 2.14.4 rom, till the update notifiation appeared.

Ive waited long enough for an update from Enom, but he has his reasons, and I dont see an update in the pipeline.

So I need to get a new rom & it should have have trackball wake up/vol keys wakeup (cant afford to break the power key).

Also Gingerbread, and Apps2SD (+).

Now Ive come across two roms,

a) Nightly's CM rom

b) GRI40, system dump + unmodified stock n rooted rom.

So which one should I get?

Also whats the difference between nightlys CM rom and CM rom ?

Also, I see I need to update the radio, so this has to be done before flashing rom or after?

I have flashed AMON RA's recovery 2.0, do I need to flash anything else?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Remove the update notification and return to being happy.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Stock GRI40 doesn't have any mod for trackball/volume wake. So for now you're out of options - you have to use a custom compiled AOSP Gingerbread, which point you towards CM7/SuperGinger/Leo's Ginger/etc. Currently none of those are as stable as Enom's (I've tried 2 of them).

I can also suggest flashing FOTAKill (use Google to find, learn and download) and keeping with Enom's. That's what I'm doing now. And after a brief experience with MyTouch 4G, I'm seriously considering flashing Froyo Desire port.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstrucity:
Thanks for the prompt replies. Really appreciate it.

For now I can live with enomthers rom. Its not giving any issues. Its got everything I need, other than gingerbread.

the Gingerbread update is glued to the taskbar, and doesnt pop-up at all (doesnt intervene/hinder ) in regular operations.

So ill patiently wait as well :)

thanks again guys!
