I flashed 3.14 a couple of days ago and then restored using Sprite backup. I am using CHT 2.0 beta. Everything seemed fine except 2 major things.

If I tried to reply to an email or compose a new mail I would get a blank screen.

If I tried to remove an application there were no programs listed in the remove programs screen.

I flashed back to 2.13 and restored using the same backup and all is now good.

I will have to reflash 3.14 later when I have time to manually load all of my programs and modifications again - it takes me hours.

Does anyone know of a fix for the problem I had or am I stuck with manually restoring my phone?

My impressions of the new ROM with CHT 2.0 were very good. Swiping to different levels and pages in CHT was noticeably smoother so I am motivated to do the upgrade again soon.
[HD2 General] I2eaper:
I installed the new ROM last night. I still have the issue where I have to manually pair with my Sony head unit for streaming audio. The blue tooth phone portion works fine and the streaming audio could be a compatibility issue with the devices.

Unfortunately album art still gets stuck when using the sense music player in landscape mode when using scuffle in a playlist. I was really hoping this was fixed in this ROM :confused:

Overall the new ROM works well from what I can see so far. I was really hoping to have the above issues addressed but I am still very pleased with the phone.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Are you using the same micro hd 16gb card that it shipped with? Could be the reason the music player is getting stuck? Mine is working smooth and perfect. I have 3GB of music on there.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Do a task 29 before you reflash. I have not of these issues... Sprite backup might have something to do with your program not showing up issue. Is this like an image with the programs built in? Never used it. I installed all of my programs cab by cab. They all show up. Also emailing like crazy. No issues.
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
I love the new ROM so the upgrade is worth the time and I use Sprite Backup, too. I tried CHT 2.0, but went back to 1.8... I love my settings and had a backup. I find the best option is always to reinstall all your apps (even those on your storage card). ;)
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
So with 3.14 ROM do we still need to load 3D drivers from Chainfire ?
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I didn't install it with this cab. 3.14 is solid dude.
[HD2 General] rider123:
I do not think task 29 is the solution. I think it is a Sprite backup issue when using a backup from a previous rom to restore to a new rom.

Before I restored with sprite backup everything worked fine with the new ROM. Manually adding in all of my cabs will work. It just takes many hours so I will put it off for now.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You are probably right. I have no Sprite Backup going on. too bad Windows Mobile center doesnt' back up everything like Itunes does for the Iphone... It's pretty nice to restore your phone and have all of your programs on it.
[HD2 General] maniep:
Can we confirm the radio used on this new Tmobile official update

from those who have installed it please.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
Reading from my phone.... Radio version 2.15.50.14 ;)
[HD2 General] maniep:
Thank you.

I may try that radio again.

I flash'd it last week and the data connection was not too stable and went to E(edge) alot.

But I did not gived enough time to call it good or bad I guess.

If Tmobile put it on their official ROM, then it must be ok.
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
I mostly use WIFI N (work & home) so I don't really notice the data speeds; however, to be fair, some have complained that the WIFI isn't as strong with this radio. Although, frankly, my experience has been a stronger connection with better range. :D
[HD2 General] OndraSter:
I was having issues with 2.15, that it was using 3G when WiFi was connected and available to use (and the 3G went by 50kB/s, but that's carriers issue :D). Went back to 2.12 and it seems working fine for now (ROM is still the 3.14 including rilphone.dll). Even 3G speeds seem better.

GPS will get tested in few minutes on my way to work. 2.15 cought pretty much immediatily, in matter of seconds. Let's see about 2.12.

I don't remember usage of battery with 2.15, but with 2.12 I get about 11% drop to 89% with 8h night and PushMail on background.
[HD2 General] cedtopacio:
just upgraded to this rom. fixed my freezing and hanging issues. apps open quicker imho. only problem i have is my proximity sensor stopped working. anyone have a fix for this?:confused:
[HD2 General] JDM Civic EG8:
I like the new 3.14 update but the only problem im having with the new radio is that i no longer get signal in stores for example Jewel Osco haha. so I think im going to go back the radio 2.14
[HD2 General] jimvsmij:
I updated to 3.14 on moday and since then I cannot access the internet from work or when I go out of the building for my walks like I used to before the update. I have access when I go home (5 minutes away from work) but it's been a week and I still cant get online from my work area. I took my phone to the store and all they did was replace my sim card which didn't do anything.

Is anyone else having this problem??
[HD2 General] maniep:
Well, I know someone who works at Tmobile, and I was told that Tmobile will be increasing the speeds of Data Service soon.

May be that is why they have changed the Radio on this new ROM. That is why 2.15 may not be 100 percent working yet until they turn up the network speeds more.

I am now using Radio 2.12 and it is very fast and clear on everything.

I have tried the stock 2.10, 2 versions of 2.11 Radio, also 2.14 and 2.15 Radio.

All work fine but not as good as 2.12 in my opinion as far as data speed and signal.

I will wait a little more on 2.15 until TMobile ups the network speed.

They have to, to run the G2 full boat at near 4G speeds.
[HD2 General] wzliu:
I got the message also from T-mobile. But when I input my IMEI number, I only got these information:

The IMEI you've entered is incorrect.

Please double check your device's IMEI and try again

I'm sure the IMEI is correct, the phone is T-mobile phone. The only problem is my phone was bought from Craigslist and I can't get in touch with the seller anymore.

Any advice? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] h82w8v6:
ok this is what i have experienced, sense i have updated to the 2.15. rom i found that alot of the programs work much better like the music tab......some new features.......and runs smoother dont know about the BT problem..... but here is the drawback the radio is **** 2.15, i went back to the 2.13 rom w/ radio 2.10, and my speed was back to normal...... speeds on the 2.14 rom were unexceptionable. some thing like 49kbs @ 3g or hspa+ im am now back to 210kbs if needed. so in the long run i think ill go w/ the 2.14 rom w/ a different radio version, maybe the 2.10r works good for me ........ anyone else notice this.....in addition my paranoia is making me think that the new rom has something in it to dictate there throttling protocol it could just be the radio vr.
[HD2 General] blhd2:
I've got some gliches after 3.14... update. 1st off wi-fi signal very poor strength and does drop connection. Gonna try older radio for this. 2nd I've lost Swype texting. Searching XDA for Swype cab. Tried to select swype from text input type pull-down but it wouldnt save/activate. Other notes - does seem slightly smoother and faster interfaces and screens, same or slower for internet with opera 9,10, even skyfire.
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
yes, mine is really slow on ie, opera 9.7, opera 10, skyfire...
[HD2 General] h82w8v6:
dose the HSPL_2 work on this new rom, can we unlock this thing....... if so then switch the radio vr..... its a smooth rom even if it is stock..... but still has its problems.
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Yes it still has the 2.10 so you can still use HSPL3
[HD2 General] jimvsmij:
So I took my phone back to T-mobile on Friday and they made me do a hard reset, which I told them I had already tried that! They said that if I go into work on Monday and I still have issues that they will send me a new phone. I'm going to try out my phone again when I get to work but I'm pretty sure it will still not connect to the internet.
[HD2 General] jimvsmij:
My phone still was having issues so I took it back to T-mobile yesterday and instead of giving me a new phone like they said they would they installed what they called "new updated software" via their sd card and said that it would fix the problem. I bet it was the same update and they are just trying to make the problem go away
[HD2 General] assface2009:
just a few questions that i need to be answered, b4 i go with this update, im using a custom rom right now with hspl 2.08 stock radio version 2.12.50.02_2

if i install this new version will i brick my phone or will it be fine to do so.

also, does this effect me receiving hspa+? will it go back to 3g?
[HD2 General] thebest1:
assface 2009 if you have a TMOUS HD2 you can flash your phone and it will not brick your phone. you can always flash back to your custom rom if you dont like it. Theres a few changes on this new rom (3.14.531.1) the radio goes from 2.12.50.02_2 to 2.15.50.14. and about "will it go back to 3g?" the answer is yes. :)
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
How would installing an official TMO US ROM on a TMO US HD2 brick it? Well anyways, yes you will still recieve HSPA data, yes you can flash back to your custom ROM.
[HD2 General] mjsfv:
WOW I dont believe it

Longtime forum lurker here. I just wanted to pass on that I installed the update and just WOW, my reception went from zero bars to maybe 1 bar inside my home to 3 or 4 bars inside. I even get 2 bars in my basement now. Very,very nice indeed.

My battery even seems to last longer. My HD2 is completely stock TMobile right now, nothing extra installed or deleted.

Sadly, of course your mileage may vary.
[HD2 General] me:
You mean--because your browser cookies got wiped out by the update (including those that sign you into that site), you think that flashing back to the old ROM will bring your cookies back???

I don't think so. ;-)
[HD2 General] chip0:
hey jw if i flash this rom will it change my radio? i have the 2.15.something lol
[HD2 General] chip0:
lol nvm i didnt read the whole post forget my q...i feel like a duche lol
[HD2 General] tragedykilla:
i have a quick question, in installing the new update will i be able to do a hardspl on \it so i can still run android on it or will it interfere with it completley
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Install Cotulla's HSPL3 first, then upgrade to 3.14 via USB.

You don't need HSPL to run Android. But you will if you want to play with cooked ROMS that might work better with some of the Android builds.
[HD2 General] xnifex:
Finally updated. here's to hoping I never get the SMS lags
[HD2 General] QuickSilvaCL9:
Am I the only that seems that i cannot download the 3.14 update from tmobile????? The download link takes me straight to the htc website anyone else get this??
[HD2 General] Sweet Peaches:
This link was posted on the first page of this thread to get the 3.14 I got that update and I didn't like it, for me it crashed the phone so I went back to the 2.13 update where it was more stable but the link is on the first page of this thread. :)
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
I'm on a stock ROM 2.13, w/o any HSPL or something. Pure phone from the store. If I upgrade to 3.14 before I run HSPL3, will I be able to run HSPL3 AFTER upgrade ?
[HD2 General] Sweet Peaches:
You could HSPL3 now on your phone while you're on 2.13, I still had it on mine when I updated to 3.14 but if you want to try it after the 3.14 you're free to do so, but if you ever want the 2.13 update back just to put HSPL on the phone, then you copy the link that's in the first page to your address bar on your browser and remove the "2" at the end of the link and download the 2.13 update.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You should be good to go. 3.14 still has the 2.10 firmware.
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
The reason I do not want to do HSPL3 right NOW (while I'm on 2.13) is that I'm concerned with warranty and how HSPL3 will affect it.

Right NOW I do not have need to try cooked ROMs, but would like to move to official 3.14.

Here is my dilemma. I may want cooked ROM in a future. If I can upgrade to 3.14 NOW but postpone HSPL3 until I REALLY need it - that is perfect and I would not do HSPL3 NOW. And there is no warranty question - because I'm on official ROMs.

But ... if upgrading to 3.14 without prior HSPL3 will ban me from using cooked ROMs in a FUTURE :( ... then I'd rather do HSPL3 NOW (and probably risk my warranty) ... I do not want to get stuck with 3.14 without ability to use cooked ROMs

But
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You CAN upgrade to 3.14 NOW and flash HSPL3 later. :)

You can also flash back to a stock rom from Tmobiles Wmupgrade link via MicroSD and it will overwrite your HSPL3 back to stock. So no worries either way.
[HD2 General] QuickSilvaCL9:
i still cant seem to download it ... the download button takes me straight to the htc website.. i tried on IE and Firefox

Edit nvm i got it
[HD2 General] bogdatov:
Thanks a lot.
[HD2 General] xnifex:
I want to say that this update rocks. I work in a hockey arena & our office is 30' below ground & I barely get 1 bar there. I'm rocking 3 at this time.

A+ update.

Also, no lag so far with SMS & i'm currently at 174 messages with 1 person. Before it would completely bog down the phone by now.

Why did I wait so long to update?????
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok this is my opinion on the 3.14 update from T-Mobile. I flashed tbe updated rom about a month ago and it seems to have fixed the issues I was having with my HTC HD2. I was having problems with my phone freezing on the Windows logo screen when my phone was booting up. I would have to take my battery out for atleast 60 secounds, and sometimes I would have to do that three or four times befor my phone would boot completly. Now with the 3.14 rom boots almost flawlessly, but I have had it freeze on boot up twicescince the update I think that was due to a app I had placed on startup, removed the app from startup and the problem disappeared again.

I was also having issues with my phone freezing up just randomly during daily use, but the update has also fixed that issue completly my phone has yet to freeze on me.

The scrolling with the updated rom is VERY better, so much smoother. My apps open alot faster. When I open any file containing images, they load alot faster then befor and the scrolling up and down in these files is sooooo much smoother than befor. My music also starts playing in the Windows Media player as soon as I click play where as befor it toke about five secounds to start playing after I clicked on play.

As for BT I don't use BT headset so I don't know about any good or bad points there.

Now I do recomend duing a hard teset of your phone befor flashing the 3.14 update cause my Activesync keeps cutting on all by it's self. I talked to T-Mobile costomer sevice and they told me to do a hard reset of the phone then reinstall the update, have not done that though cause I can live with that small problem. I also have a issue with my Visual Voicemail not working and costomer service told me to keep checking th T-Mobile site for a fix cause the Visual Voicemail is a known issue. All in all thouvh I love the update a to me it is well worth the time it takes to download and install the update and the time it takes to reinstall all your apps and personal information
[HD2 General] xnifex:
I didn't feel like doing a Hard Reset first, so I just did a Task29 & erased everything on the phone. That way I didn't have to deal with the longer time to hard reset & let the phone boot up & configure & all that before I could update.
[HD2 General] mrtunga:
hi guys, i need some favor, i want to download 3.14.531.1, but when i tried to download it, it only download a html file which is sent me to htc website for my country (Turkey), i need a download link for 3.14.531.1 which is different from tmobile official site, somebody can help me? or can upload for me? cause i could not find any link on anywhere for this
[General Topics] lordmuggins:
So I had an ipod touch and a cell combo but mixed with verizon it didn't work. Now I have a htc incredible. Love it.

But I'm having serious GUI issues. Why the hell do so many apps look just disgustingly UGLY?! I have spent all evening looking to find a decent mail apple. Stock one has issues and an ugly bar at the bottom. K9 seemed functional until I hit Menu and maybe it is just my screen but all the options appear like super low quality.jpegs. sorry I just couldn't do it.

There really needs to be recommended GUI guidelines so like the iphone apps can begin to have some kind of aesthetic uniformity!

If you can get the ESN added to the system, which is unlikely.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AZ2ENVY:
I was in Wal-Mart today and decided to check out the G2 on display .

I started playing with the hinge and it felt like it was definitely spring

loaded or tension loaded in some way . It felt great while playing with

it and the hinge design had a very positive "snap" opening and closing

into place . Even when shook upside down the screen absolutely would

not come down . It actually took quite a bit of effort to open and close.

So I asked the rep behind the counter to see a brand new G2 to see if

it had the same design , but to no avail it did not . The brand new G2

right out of the box felt like my G2 that I own . The display model weight

was right on to the actual phone weight . It had a real camera eye and LED

flash , trackpad was like a real G2 , etc . so the weight of the screen was

almost on par with a real device . There definitely was not enough weight

differences between the decoy and real device to make this drastic differences

between the hinges . Thoughts ?

[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
That's not even a real phone! You're a real bright one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AZ2ENVY:
If you werent a ****ing retard maybe you would read THE WEIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PHONES WERE THE SAME !!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Stores never use real phones as dummy units. If the phone was live that would be a different story.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AZ2ENVY:
It doesnt matter if the phone was live or not . The hinge doesnt know if its

a decoy or not . The weight of the screen and phone itself was extremely

comparable . If they weigh that close to each other then why does it act that

way ? There was a major difference between the two to just write off .
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
From the video the G2 looks incredibly plasticy and light weight. It just looks off to me. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] AZ2ENVY:
It was the exact replica with working parts . I was kinda thrown off to be honest . Its

the only decoy phone Ive ever seen that wasnt "fake" . All the buttons pressed down

and wasnt plasticy by any means .
[G2 and Desire Z General] EfemaN:
I absolutely would not pass that off. Dummies are simply the advertised phone with the internals and screen removed and compensated for. I played with the dummy G2 at Radioshack, and it felt just like the one I had returned (for various reasons) just before; the hinge was fairly loose and the weight felt proper.

Here's hoping that it's a sign of the future. Maybe late production units were changed? If not, I can always dream...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Its a possibility, but the G2 in the video just looks off to me for some reason. If they did fix the hinge how could I get a new one? I'm outside of my buyers remorse period.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
You can't, bright one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] vikramdhani:
Seriously dude r you that ****ing dumb that no one here will find out that it is a dummy phone

someone should ban him from here and send him to cell phone for dummies class
[G2 and Desire Z General] l0ngxnguyen:
He never once said its a real phone you dumb ****. Learn to ****ing read.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Wow! Y'all need to calm down... enough cursing, please! Some display models are working ones while others are dummies. If you have the lose hinge problem... send it back. Simple..

Its time to call Asurion, LMAO :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] ThaGeNeCySt:
Eh... I'd rather just deal with it then ante up another $120
[G2 and Desire Z General] 338lm:
if the heavy screen were removed and replaced with cheap plastic then there is no way the screen section of the phone could be as heavy as the screen part of a real G2. The screen section of the real G2 is quite heavy
[G2 and Desire Z General] diversificationied:
The REAL phone I messed with a local TMO store worked exactly like the video.

The hinge is in fact spring loaded and those that have gimped hinges with screens that fall are defects.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Call Tmobile and tell them the issue your having with your phone. They will send you another phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Smokexz:
It doesn't matter if they weigh the same, demo units don't use real buttons and do not have mother boards or screens on them, they are to display how it would look, not run or feel. Sorry but you can't back up your theory...

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] AZ2ENVY:
Really ? Then explain to me why the demo in the video did in fact have REAL

buttons smart guy ?!?!
[G2 and Desire Z General] InGeNeTiCs:
Lol...

The buttons are real, but they're not 'real', meaning they don't work. It's not like a furniture store with cardboard boxes that have tv's printed on them. It's a working model of the phone. Most of them are weighted, and are NOT an accurate representation of how the hardware works. On a functional model, the buttons will feel different and the slide mechanism will feel different. This is not uncommon. Some dummyphones are better than others. This is still not an accurate representation.

Find a real phone like this and then post back. Otherwise, there's really no point in arguing about it. If you like the dummy model so much, ask them if you can buy it. I doubt your dummyphone will get hspa+ speeds though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
have you tried that test on yours? holding it in the vertical position

mine does that and i pre-ordered the first night
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Calm down...

The whole phone may be weighted the same, but I guarantee you the screen portion is not. Same reason why the spring-loaded feel is exaggerated on a dummy unit.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Anyone satisfied with a limp hinge is a chump.
[G2 and Desire Z General] minotauri:
its quite possible that the stuffing they put on the inside of the dummy phone is weighted to the the actual weight of the real phone -- which they could do to both the screen portion and the keyboard portion of the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] carlsbad0331:
As you can see by my post count I am not very active on this forum. Basically because my phone is a tool, and I dont have the time or inclination to spend massive amounts of time trying to make it "different".

BUT, I am the Admin of three military forums, 2 BMW forums and a high end watch forum... and I have never seen a community where people treated other members the way SOME do here.

In fact, It is quite surprising to me that someone in the Admin team here has not stepped in and either locked this thread or made a public request to stop the attitude before sanctions would be issued.

And this is not the only thread like this that is currently active. I just dont get it.

Just my two pennies worth.
