Updated Status on Build

The GPS issue still persists. I got MMS to work finally, and Data connection doesn't drop anymore. I tried something with the network properties and ever since the data connection seems steady. Here is what I did -

1. I went to network mode in the mobile network settings, and changed it to gsm/wcdma auto.

2. I then clicked on network operators --> automatic and registered onto the network.

I haven't had my data drop since. I'm a major noob so I can't explain why this works, but this works somehow.

As far as the mms settings: I tried this right now and here are the APN settings that work for me:

anyone experienced slow download in market with this build? With the speedtest, my wifi connection is over 5000kbps and through 3g i get 1200kbps, but dling anything from market is about only about 20k per second. I searched around and tried unmount SD but it didn't make any difference. Any other tips?
[HD2 Android SD Development] damikey:
This built is speedier in power and 3G download than a couple of other android builts. As promise, many things works where other builts failed: eg. HTC flashlight, compass. However, Im having 3G data lost when phone go into a long standby. Currently using this built in conjunction with Energy latest ROM. Please provide me with guidance. -much appreciation
[HD2 Android SD Development] baderth:
3g connection freezes if unused from time to time (3-5 times a day)

flightmode on/off does the trick but a stable connection would be cool.

(got the issue on 2 devices with 1.2 and 1.3)
[HD2 Android SD Development] devabhishek:
small lagg issue on device wake up :)

this is the best ever built of android to run on htc hd2 .....my one and only issue with this build is that when i click any hardware button to wake up the device . out of 10 times 3 times the device wakes up immediately but around 7 times the device takes around 3 to 4 secs to wake up .. if only this problem is fixed.. then i guess the hd2 would no longer be called an windows phone.

i have made a small video showing the goodness aswell this small lagg issue on wake up of this build here is the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOpvSsZil1U

[HD2 Android SD Development] blu9987:
Newb here with some questions:

1. Do I need hardspl and Radio_2_10_50_26 or should I just load it up and go as is?

2. Does this void warranty at all?

3. In case of a need to revert back to stock rom would I just got through the manufacturers website?

looking forward to trying this out :D

also how often does it freeze/drop due to PPP? Its for my girl and I wonder if RMNET would be easier for her...
[HD2 Android SD Development] nuron:
Same for me with the internet disconnects.

If I may ask, are you guys running this build on at least a Class 6 MicroSD? I think it's time I ditch my stock 16GB Class 2 for something speedier, as this build is lagging crazy on my card lol.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NEO Solid:
3G relatively Good

Yes the 3g does disconnect BUT this rom is more stable than all other roms. 3g disconnects about 3-4 times a day comapred with 15ish times of other roms. This is as close as perfect as we are now. Rom is super fast and everything is just SNAPPY.

LOVING THIS ROM!!!!!!!

PhireMOD ur rom is the ish!!!!!

Cant wait for future releases.

:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
1. Yes, you need HSPL then Flash a Android compatible ROM then upgrade your radio (If you dont you will have a lot of problems including robo voice.)

2. Yes.

3. Yes, you can go back to stock. If you didnt downgrade first they wont help you.

All this info you could of got by using the "Search at the top of the forum.
[HD2 Android SD Development] malikadnanm:

thanks for this...definitely the best sense rom i have used thus far. everything works for me and really fast. perfect, thanks again ;)

Thanks to everyone for the feedback so far. I hope to bring this out of beta sometime this weekend.

Hello

Tried this rom today. It is very good, fast and stable. Liking the evo keyboard. Keep up your good work. Looking forward to your future builds. Maybe some Desire HD goodness in future roms?

Thanks

Excellent rom! This was exactly what I was hoping for: an EVO rom without all the sprint crap in there :D. It's incredibly fast and stable. This is the speediest sense rom I've tried yet. Thanks for your work!

Hi,

I've seen as low as 3MA during sleep ;)

I run a shed load of power hungry widgets and am almost constantly listening to media so I only get around 10 hours max life out of the battery. But this is great, as I only get about 8 hours of my HTC Desire :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] s10shane:
hey i put in the apn settings for my us tmobile hd2 and i get a lot of disconnects, does anyone else have this problem? i only seem to have this problem with all evo builds.

[HD2 Android SD Development] murdaralph:
unable to download at work. Internet here has multiupload.com blocked :( will try when i get home..

Does this build have random Data disconnects? I found with PPP now that it is some what stable it has these random data disconnects.

Also with mattcevo 1.0.1 my phone over heats. even after underclocking. battery last about 5 hours with minimal use.

Hows battery life with this build?

[HD2 Android SD Development] RommelNoodles:
Question is there a stock android 2.2 rom out there for the htc hd2 ? I think these rooms are awesome but I just want the plain Jane rom.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Try any of the available Nexus 1 based roms. Before i moved on to Evo roms I had fun with Nexus 1 roms during the early days of Android ports. :D Cant believe it was just the other day we were trying android roms with no sound! Seems like 2 years ago..... :eek:
[HD2 Android SD Development] caliente:
this is a solid ROM.

3G connection issues are a problem, only way I have found to reliably fix a dropped data connection is to turn Airplane mode ON, then OFF. Seems to work straight away.

To poster above, to install programs unmount SD card in settings, install then remount the card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2udCrRAZdK:
I'm using the stock 16GB sandisk that cam with my HD2 that works quite well. I have a class 4 sandisk (4GB) that also works well. I also have a 16GB class 4 Kingston which sometimes works ok, but not always. And finally a 4GB Lexar (class ?) which almost never works...

Not much help.

Bit confused as to why this build keeps coming up, when will it be updated, its still got 10th July 2010 as its build date ?:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] vplaza96:
Interesting. I'm not experiencing this occasional lag on wake up on my HD2 running this build. I'm using Kumar's v2.9 Premium ROM and radio 2.15.50.14. My two main issues with this build are:

Very bad batter drain

Occasional problems losing the connection to T-Mobile network and problem getting back on

Once in a while, change from landscape to portrait in GMail doesn't happen

Other than that, some minor things are some apps in the market fail to install, such as Angry Birds and Google Sky Map.
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
That would be October 7th. Post title has been edited to clear it up :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
This is a common issue with all Android builds on HD2. You must umount your SD card, download/install, then remount the SD card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] silvscorp:
Any advise for speeding up the download speed from the market? Everything is fine and super fast, just dling from market is slow, regardless of using 3g or wifi.

I've tried unmount SD and dl speed is still same.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Phire please I had the above issue regarding the reboot option. whats your comment sir. :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
Sorry I missed this. Unfortunately rebooting the phone while in Android will always take you back to WinMo. This goes for any Android Rom at the moment. As soon as NAND is working, this will no longer be the case.

One solution is to use a boot selector program for WinMo which will allow you to quickly boot into Android as soon as WinMo starts up - it will prompt you with the option.

Hope that helps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Carnivore9:
Can you please revise the extended battery support for 1.3? It doesn't seem to work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Raggy360:
I have only been using this for the past 5/6 hours and I am loving it.

Everything mentioned is working fine.

The bit that has got me smiling from ear to ear is that once I had put in the T-Mobile UK APN settings, the data connection has not dropped at all. :D

Thanks for all the hard work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] vplaza96:
Thank you! That worked.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:

[HD2 Android SD Development] petevo:
Hi...thanks A LOT for this build, it IS fast and stable and happy w it, even the batt last long...however, I hv only 1 thing tht really³ made me furious...

When i wanted to call someone, it auto adds a number "1" in front of it...e.g:

lets say the person's hp no is 014-1234567 in the contact list, when i pressed to call, it automatically becomes 1014-1234567. I cant find any settings to chg this. Anybody calls me and sms me totally ok, even when i sms ppl also no probs. Hwevr when i wanted to call out, THAT happens. :mad:

Anyone could help me on this matter? :( Thanks

If i could make this disapear, this would b my best HTC Sense android ever...:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] fresh2dafullest:
when i turn my wifi on and try to download from the market it won't download and just sticks at starting download but when i turn my wifi off it starts to download...is there a way to fix that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Hi!

Maybe you could try this?

Or maybe you could read posts numbers 1 + 2?

Now, that wasn't hard was it? Anything else I can help you with? Maybe some advice about breathing and talking at the same time? Or perhaps how to maintain hand to mouth coordination whilst eating?

Pfft.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Yes, there certainly is a fix. Best of luck whilst you have to go to the trouble of reading this thread to find it!

Oh, I feel bad now... here is your fix
[HD2 Android SD Development] vplaza96:
Another issue I'm seeing. I am seeing duplicate entries in the Calendar for my Exchange sync account. Easy way to fix is to delete the Exchange account and recreate it.

Does anyone else see this? If so, is there a long term fix to avoid this?

Thanks.

EDIT:

I think I found a setting in the Calendar that may fix this. Go to Calendar, Menu > More > Calendars and uncheck "PC Sync". I'll give that a try and see if it prevents the duplicates.

EDIT #2:

Just updating this. I now think the problem was actually the GMail account that I had set up. I was testing Google Outlook Sync on my computer a while back and didn't realize that it was synchronizing my Outlook calendar (which was coming from my Exchange account) to my GMail calendar up at Google. It was then synchronizing back down to my HD2, which is why I think there were duplicate entries. I unchecked the GMail account calendar and the dupes went away.

Hope this closes the loop on this.
[HD2 Android SD Development] daronadidas:
I am having a couple of issues.

1. When "waking" the phone, 7 out of 10 times it takes at least 30 secs to a minute.

2. Data and network service are unavailable for short periods of time.

3. When booting into Android, it will sometimes restart itself after loading.

4. The battery is draining ridiculously fast (loading new radio as we speak)

5. I am able to receive picmail but not send it.

Any thoughts or ideas...I read another user had one of the same issues as me but I wanted to post all these together as they may be caused by similar things. Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] silvscorp:

master phiredrop

could you please advise me on what should i do to get rid of the ocasional lagg on wake up.......and which is the best compatible rom and radio for this build

Tq Soooooo much devabhishek n nobnut...u guys really helped me...:D:D:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] boysha8:
I followed the instructions for the 011 issue, but when i run the script it gives me an error (the compass one worked fine). Then i manually tried to replace the file in the folder path mentioned in the script, but i cant find that folder at all.

Can someone please help, it is really bugging.

Thanks

Update: Please ignore, i found the folder through root explorer. I was using astro before
[HD2 Android SD Development] devabhishek:
use root explorer .. or any other similar app only then you will be able to find it

edit:- good u found it
[HD2 Android SD Development] devabhishek:
ok... i have been asking this question too many times ...

1) how to fix the lagg issue on wake up

2)which is the best compatible radio at the moment for this build ..

to my surprise the answer to both the questions is Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14

get it from here ---> http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F

really after flashing this radio the lagg is really gone down and can not feel it much

and i m using energy rom cht.2 oct 8 version ..

i really wounder what would a radio rom contribute in the speed of an android build

cozz it really feels much speedier than earlier on(Radio_Leo_2.14.50.04)
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
[EDIT]

Wrong rom thread. Sorry. :)

I don't experience any lag when upon waking up. My specs are in my signature. If all else fails, try a format and reinstall. Another option - see if removing some of the widgets from your homescreens helps.

Hope some of that helps.

I did tried the gscript thingy n it said error. So i searched n used android mate, and SU detected it n u can allow or deny it. At 1st i used astro, linda n file mgr.

Best rom ever!!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] sumflipnol:
1. Some people on other forums report success with the latest stock T-Mobile USA ROM, which comes with a .50 radio (so, no need to HardSPL in that case).

2. You don't void warranty if you don't HardSPL. If you don't HardSPL, you're only installing files on your SD-card, so warranty is still intact.

3. Depends what phone and carrier. If you have a T-Mobile USA (1024 Leo) HD2, you get your stock ROM from their website's WMUpgrade page. If you have a WWE HD2, you could get the stock ROM from HTC or your carrier's website.

You can get them from HTCPedia, too.

I don't get that many disconnects on 3G.

The only thing I don't like is that I can't force data to use EDGE-only or 3G-only (no matter what I have in the settings), so it sucks when 3G has one bar, and full bars of EDGE is faster under the T-Mo USA network.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Perez827:
So a while back i posted a couple of times about my phone rebooting on its own. Phire recommended a different radio might help, well it did! After switching from 2.14 to 2.15 a couple of days ago, my phone has not rebooted on its own. Also have had hardly any data disconnection with the new radio. Still on v1.2 a and it works great. Only issue which is on all builds is the slight sod delay when waking the phone up. It doesnt happen all the time but does bug me out. Thanks for your great build Phire.

Ps Whats all this hate on sense? Makes the phone look great and adds features.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cs378:
Love it so far. This is my first day using this build. Battery life is great. In fact I think it is better than cooked Wm rom.

The only problems for me are:

Data randomly disconnects, had to reset it everyone.

Volume is too low for ears.

Other than does, this build runs great. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Is there a way to change this rom from ppp to RMNET. I would like to have rmnet as it is more stable but i love this rom and some of the features of it. I can change it myself if someone can instruct me on how.
