[Fascinate General] sdwinder:
HI everyone, I currently own a droid eris, I have an upgrade coming up next month and my two main options are the fascinate and the droid x, I am highly leaning towards the fascinate because motorola rubbed me the wrong way.

My main issue is, that I dont think I want to install a custom rom on the fascinate, I did do it on the eris, but the only reason I did it was because the HTC sense UI was so incredibly laggy and slow. I have tried other galaxy S phones and this appears to not be the case, it looks like the galaxy s UI is pretty solid and fast.

There are a few things I would like to do however, my main priorities for this phone are to get the wireless tether running, the same that I have for my droid eris, and to be able to replace all that bing crap with everything that is google and good. SetCPU is not a big priority yet, maybe later. I realize that this means getting root privilege on the phone. What I am wondering is, is it as easy as just using the one click root and then installing wireless tether and setCPU? or is it more involved than that? I have read so far that the fascinates roming methods are quite a bit different than the eris, so I may stay away from roming for a while. Just need to get the priorities done (wireless tether and bing replacements)

One click root.

Wireless tether is possible

Bing is replaceable, see that link! You need a different launcher though! (LP?)

Send me a message if you need help doing any of this.

[Fascinate General] sdwinder:
thanks for the links guys,

I just have one question, after i install the samsung drivers on my windows 7 machine and enable debugging mode on the phone and connect the phone to the machine. The actual file itself that has the one click root, I extract that file to my computer and click the install root correct? or do i extract it to the sd card on phone?

Also, does it matter what directory the file is extracted to on my computer or does it run from anywhere.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
I've had issues with the screen since I got the device. Typing on the keyboard, or tapping any buttons, or drawing, the line is very inaccurate where it shows up. In order for it to work I need to press enough to flatten the tip of my finger so the surface area is about a 1cm diameter circle, and the point it makes is random as to what side of the circle it seems to appear on.

I wasn't certain if it was my phone, or me, or what until recently. I bought this generic pogo capacitative stylus (DX sku.23061). I tried it on my phone and it didn't work. I had to push down extremely hard to get any response, so much I was worried about scratching the screen. I was just writing the problem off to the stylus, but I just tried that same stylus on my friends HTC Touch Slide. It worked beautifully. No pressure required, just the corner of the stylus and it gets perfect accuracy.

Is this type of thing going to get better going from 1.6 to 2.1? Is it just a **** phone? Did I get a lemon? It's hard to simply tap a single icon on the home screen without the one next to it being tapped instead.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] javajoe96:
Yeah, I tried a stylus too and it was useless for me on the Zio, bit I do not know if that will change with the update
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
I wouldn't imagine it would change much from an update. Capacitive is mechanical, and is only as good as the screen itself.

My phone has zero issues with the touchscreen display. calibration is bang on (within 1mm).

I'd suggest to RMA it or swap it out if you have a protection plan-- sounds like there may have been some defective products released.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] tlc08071:
I'm having the same issue with the touchscreen on this phone. I have been posting in several posts about a few issues I've been having but it seems either i'm posting in the wrong areas or i'm invisible in the post altogether.

I'm new to posts and its all confusing to me, I am slowly learning how to get through them, and i've been reading the hell out of just about every one on here for this stinking junk phone to a point i'm about to take my hammer and smash the thing and just buy a real phone that works.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Sounds like a defective touch screen. Hope you have a warranty or protection plan :-\
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
BTW

If the general public isn't aware, if you have your device plugged in for charging (USB or AC) your touchscreen will not respond accurately.

I'm not sure why this is, but it's something to be aware of.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
I'm still noticing some touch screen issues that were present in the old firmware. For example, I will hit the power button to wake up the phone, and the slide to unlock wont respond until after several attempts. If it does respond right away, it will unlock and then the touch screen becomes completely unresponsive. Happens several times a day to me and this is the second Zio I have had since the phone's launch last year that has done this. Also if I have a screen lock pattern, that will not respond either, but as soon as you touch "Emergency Call" it responds to just that. It will always clear up after a couple tries, but it is very annoying and resetting the phone doesn't help either.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
How much memory is free on your phone?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xxjust_in_timexx:
the only thing i have noticed with the lock screen if you halfway unlock it and let go that the unlock slide completely disappears and its only happened once. putting it back to sleep and waking it back up brings it back.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
My phone usually runs with 30 to 60 MB of free memory. It's done it before right after a reset I don't believe it has anything to do with memory.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
I also am running with 60MB free space, I have the XDA app and the 2.3 launcher running.

I wonder if there is any way to increase the available memory, it would definitely do the phone some good. Perhaps a custom rom about 50MB in size would help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DearTanker:
I really Love the official style,But official allways Flash Hboot、Recovery and without ROOT.

So,I am thinking that someone can cook out a ROM that only with ROOT and app2SD+,with out flash HBOOT、Recovery.

I hope someone will using this ROM

I was kind of messing around and i figured if i put a 2 at the last part of the old update link it would work and it did. Enjoy Everyone!:D
[HD2 General] kidtk:
um im new to alot of this so can you tell me why i should get this...
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
Have you flashed your HD2 with this ROM yet? Are there any dead links in the start menu? Does everything work? :)
[HD2 General] aceo07:
It worked. I just installed it. I haven't noticed anything not work yet.
[HD2 General] Kyuzo Vash:
This is the official rom for the tmous hd2. The rom that was leaked early was still in the early

stages. If u install this version u get a new radio. The earlier build was 2.14, this one comes with 2.15 radio. From what i can tell this version is alot more stable faster than the one that was leaked earlier. The reason there are these updates is to address issues that users experience. So if u wanna give it a try id recommend it.:)
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Why would there be dead links in the Start menu? This is an official carrier ROM update...and I can myself confirm again that this is the real deal.
[HD2 General] KOCTA:
I've tried radio 2.15 and went back to 2.14. Loss of signal was very often.
[HD2 General] arcangelmk:
MR

What does the MR mean ie "T-Mobile HTC HD2 MR" on the original update page the MR wasnt there :confused:.
[HD2 General] govtcheez:
does this update your location in the weather panel? I installed the leaked rom, which isn't.
[HD2 General] chadster214:
this has nothing to do with the ROM its with the tower within your area. try switching to EDGE instead of 3G and see if it updates for you.
[HD2 General] chadster214:
smart move!! hehehehe..
[HD2 General] spencer911:
updated to official 3.14 ROM

I just updated my HD2 to the official ROM 3.14, so far I have not seen any slow downs loaded all of my cabs and messages from back up and it just zings. Will report back if I found any bugs. Cheers!

What does "MR" stand for in this?
[HD2 General] ESPN2:

[HD2 General] Camusa:
Thank you!

I have yet to be able to find updates on the HTC website by scouting on there on my own.

Do they have a specific section for it because they don't even show the 2.13 update under the Tmo-HD2.
[HD2 General] Darmitage82:
This is live on the TMO website now under wmupgrade.
[HD2 General] see_u_then:
I am still using stock rom (2.13) on my TMOUS HD2. I have not done hard-spl yet. Soon I'll like to do hard-SPL so that I can download custom ROMs/Radios.

Would it be possible to hard-spl even after updating my phone with the official 3.14 ROM? or should I hard-spl it first and then install this rom?

Thanks
[HD2 General] arcangelmk:
No its not....
[HD2 General] ariel123:
does this rom fix the texting lagg?

Update at t-mobile

Just got a text telling me to go to

http://t-mobile.com/wmupgrade to download.

The instructions are interesting... Says you must remove your sd card before running the upgrade. ???

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Download: T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1 )

Date Updated: 9/23/10

Size: 209 MB

Instructions: To find the Handheld Software version:

From the Home Screen, press "Start".

Select "Settings".

Select "About phone".

Select "Software Information".

Check the ROM version. If your device software version is 2.10.531.1 or 2.13.531.1, then please download the most recent software version and upgrade instructions.

Installing this update will erase all data stored on the device, restoring your T-Mobile HD2 MR to the factory default settings. Please be sure to back up any important files to preserve your data.

You must remove your storage card prior to running the upgrade. Do not put it back into your phone until after the upgrade process is complete.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[HD2 General] StarLog:
Correct, if you do not remove the SD card, then it formats it, and you loose all on it.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I must have been extremely lucky. The SD card was in the phone while I was doing the upgrade.

Everything is still on the SD card since I had to reinstall my apps from there.
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
SPL

What SPL version do you see after you restart the phone after this update?
[HD2 General] mental case:
Anyone know or have a list of the fixes/changes/ or any new goodies? Im using a custome rom but might consider switching to the TMO updated one if it doesnt have all the issues as the previous one.
[HD2 General] mikesionu:
I just received a text from T Mobile

"New software update with new features & improvements for your HTC HD2! Go to http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade on your PC to download it!"

So its official!
[HD2 General] arcangelmk:
wow.... when I posted it it showed .13 now it shows.14 I knew the other link was there you just had to type it in manually. When I went to the WMupgrade it wasnt there the first time around.
[HD2 General] arcangelmk:
I have everything on my SD card as well. Also I still show CotullaHSPL with SPL-1.08.HSPL on mine.
[HD2 General] mazdaug:
So if I install this update it will erase the HSPL that I installed to put in custom ROMS?:confused:
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
People who downloaded earlier versions noticed that there were dead shortcuts (dead links) in the start menu that seemed to be "space savers" for future app links like Blockbuster, Barnes & Noble, etc. I didn't want to flash my ROM until the 3.14 ROM version was finished. ;)

It's a LOT of work reinstalling all my apps on a new rom!
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Wait a moment...flashing a new ROM doesn't touch your SD card...i've flashed hundreds of ROMs over a ton of devices and have never once removed an SD card...and have never had a problem.

And no, HardSPL is not removed if you install this ROM via USB.
[HD2 General] mazdaug:
thanks....:)
[HD2 General] MikeASU09:
Has anyone determined the point of this MR yet? If there are no real perks, I don't feel like taking the hour or two to re-customize my HD2.

Someone asked about the texting lag fix (i.e. phone temporarily freezing with inbound texts, Swype needing to load all of the messages before being able to work, etc). Anyone know if this is fixed with this MR?
[HD2 General] xnifex:
Cool. I'll take the time to upgrade over the weekend.

It seems this is the file located on HTCs servers, tho if you click the link it'll take you to their homepage.
[HD2 General] xnifex:

[HD2 General] charleykj:
I downloaded, I installed, wasn't too impressed, had robo-voice on android, went back to Energyrom

my 2C :)
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I've noticed that they changed Opera 9.7. There's minor differences.

1. Progress bar at bottom is now thicker

2. Back button will now give 'slideshow' of previous history

3. 'out of memory' warning. Might have been due to my enabling 'plugins', which I didn't use.
[HD2 General] me:
Regardless, for safety's sake, in case something goes wrong during the isntallation that could hurt the SD card, safer to remove it.

I would rather take a few seconds to power down and remove it, than risk losing my data!
[HD2 General] me:
Ha Ha. The reply below is not clear. Is that a list of issues fixed by the update, or caused by the update? Big difference!
[HD2 General] me:
Yes, I hope that everyone who has flashed to this ROM will post the improvements they found, lack of improvement, and if anything is worse.

That will help those of us who have not yet done it, decide whether it is worth spending the time. (Not just the time of reflashing that is minor. But reloading apps, reconfiguring, etc., can take many hours.)

One question now--does it improve 3G reception? With my previous phone, the SE TM506, I got a 3G signal just about everywhere in the LA area. With the HD2 (previous stock ROM) I get only EDGE in many places, including my home. (Of course, where I do get 3G, it is faster on the HD2, due to HSPDA. But unfortunate to get a 3G signal in less places.) Has that been improved in the new version?
[HD2 General] Sweet Peaches:
I figured that updates don't touch the memory card, I had it removed when I updated to 2.13. So I can install this update over the custom ROM I have on my phone? Will it just flash it back to stock? If yes, is it okay to put the custom back on? I want to be safe than sorry.
[HD2 General] masondoctorjt:
I take mine out as a precaution, but I've also accidentally left it in multiple times during a flash, and have never had it get reformatted.
[HD2 General] me:
Some other questions about improvements, besides the one I asked above (not yet answered) about 3G reception:

1) Bluetooth. WIth my current (previous stock) ROM, there seems to be a problem with Bluettoh connection. I turn on my BT headset, that previously has been paired with the HD2. It should automatically connect when turned on, right? Well, it sometimes does, but often doesn't. If not, I have to go to the Bluetooth Manager, to manually connect. Worse still, it does not always remain connected. For onstance, the BT headset was connected, so I assume it remains so. I am driving,make or receive a call, and expect to hear the sound in the headset on my ear.But I hear no sound. It turns out that the phone disconnected the BT connection, without any warning! (Note--this problem does not come from the headset. I had no such problem with the same headset and the TM506, a much less sophisticated phone.

Has that BT problem been fixed in the new ROM?

2) The database in the HTC Music Player. Pretty messed up in the previous stock ROM--cover art often doesn't show (even when embedded into the music file), sometimes a message "no music found", although one has tons of music on one's SD card, etc. Hss the functioning of HTC music player improved with the new update?

I would very much appreciate replies to these questions, and my previous one. (I will probably have more later.)

(By the way, has HTC and/or T-Mobile posted a list somewhere of issues fixed in the new update? If so, URL?) (Such lists usually do not include all fixes, but just a few, but it would still be interesting to see, if they published such a list.)

Thank you.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You CAN update this right over your custom ROM. No problem, but you should task29 just because, which will remove your old rom completely.
[HD2 General] I2eaper:
I am also hoping for an update to the Sense music player. If you have not done a soft reset in a while it will sometimes not switch from landscape to portrait, or portrait to landscape.

Also, I have no issues using the hands free but have to reconnect the blue tooth streaming audio ever time I get in the car to stream music. It should recognize the pairing and should not have to renegotiate the connection every time. That is a big one for me and hope it's been addressed.
[HD2 General] mrjazz:
got it

works great on my stock hd2 seems smoother
[HD2 General] JamesMiami:
WiFi router app still works?

Does this newest update break the WiFi router app (a/k/a CM Internet Sharing)?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
No, but you will need to reinstall it.
[HD2 General] me:
I sure hope that some who have updated will answer the questions I already asked.

Here is yet another one:

With the previous stock ROM (which I still have installed), I have often had problems with initial call volumes.

Whether I placed or received the call, whether using Bluetooth or not, the volume of the call often starts way too low, where I cannot hear the other party at all. I have to press the side volume rocker, in order to bring it up to an audible volume.

Have the volume problems been fixed in the new ROM?

Thank you.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Ear piece volume- Is your system volume turned up to 100% before you make a call? It seems to me that the earpiece volume directly relates to the system volume somehow. My earpiece volume is always at 100% by default, but I think it's because my system volume is set at 100.

Something to check... Not sure if it's actually related, but when I first got this phone i had the same problem. The volume on the earpiece would start off really quiet... Then I would notice my system volume would be all the way down or on silent or something. Once I switched to single volume/system in Settings--> Sound & Display. Then had my volume all the way up on 100, my earpiece would start off louder... And if I changed it to Vibrate, it would stay that way...

Bottom line, if the earpiece volume starts off too quiet on every ROM you try, it's probably user or hardware related and not ROM related. I had to have a phone replaced because the speaker stopped working. Before it totally stopped working, my earpiece volume sucked.

Music player has been fixed for sure... Works flawlessly now... I had the same issues you are having on 2.13 and 2.10 with the Music player.

Not sure about Bluetooth because I've never had the problem that you are having but it very well could be the bluetooth headset you are using... I have a Motorolla headset and it works flawlessly. It could be that your headset and this phone don't work great together. I've had bluetooth headsets work on one phone and not on others...

I can tell you that if you are running 2.13 stock, 3.14 is a HUGE improvement. If not anything else, the touch sensitivity is WAY better. If you are running 2.10 you probably are experiencing lots of crashes and freezing. 3.14 doesn't crash and has great touch sensitivity.

Don't think about it, just do it. And if you don't like it flash back to an older ROM, but you won't because 3.14 makes this phone exactly how it should be.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
See, I myself have this same volumne problem...but only when I soft-reset. After I reset, the first call I make or recieve the volume will be at its lowest setting, regardless of what the system volume is(which is always at 100%), and I will have to manually increase it to max, which is where it will stay until I soft reset the next time.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Mine doesn't decrease after a soft reset that I can tell... Sounds loud and the volume when I push up or down is always on high. It's just low after a fresh hard reset. I was probably overthinking it on the system volume maybe? If you hit the volume button do you physically see less bars lit up on the volume bar on the screen?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Yes, the volume bars on the screen in a call are literally all not lit on the first press of the button, and increase with each press until max, as does the literal volume itself.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Weird. That isn't happening to me. Wonder if it's a program you are running? I have CHT 1.8 on mine, but I don't use BSB Tweaks or anything else... Do you use the single ringer/system volume option? I do. Maybe that is the difference? If you aren't, do you mind trying it out, setting it to 100% then restarting the phone to see where your initial volume is at on a call?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
I use the stock two volume settings one. IE, system and ring...with ring set to max and system set to slightly less than max so my frequent text message's don't aggravate the crap out of me. Link me to the one bar style and I shall try it.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Go to Start Settings Sound & Display. The option for single ringer/system volume is in there as an on/off switch.
[HD2 General] ElaineD:
REALLY weird, I am using the 2 ringer system (ring at 40%, or it would blow my brains out the top of my head everytime I get a call, and system at 6%). I use sony's folding wireless headset BT22A (with volume/forward/backward/pause/phone/music all adjustable from the headset); and everytime a call comes in while I'm listening to music :eek: I swear it's like a foghorn going off right by my ear (only its music not a foghorn). I'm having the opposite problem they are ... it must be the headsets we are using - hardware.
[HD2 General] I2eaper:
Thanks crisisinthecity, going to check out the new ROM tonight. Excited to see the improvements to the music player!
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Did you try it? I tested it out on my phone and it doesn't matter if I'm on single volume or not, once I set my volume after the hard reset for the first time, it stays at 100% even after a soft reset.. Also if I power down and power back up it's still at 100% volume.

Maybe your issue is some other program you are running. I have no special settings going on... Just Stock 3.14 ROM and CHT 1.8.
[HD2 General] hattmoward:
I've been waiting for an official/blessed ROM to go out. Just got a text message from T-Mobile today pointing at the /wmupdate site, so I guess it's released now. ;)

Flashing now.
