Samsung are well known how they always ruined a marvellous hardware with crap and buggy software (customization), inadequate support and no upgrades. Not any more, since the WP7 does not allow OEM customizations and going to be supported directly from Microsoft (one of the best thing about it).

So, for the first time we could use a top-notch hardware from Samsung without any concerns about their awful software support. The only drawback is the small amount of the integrated storage - only 8GB. All other specs beat HD7, which on the contrary lacks from the strongest HTC selling point - their brilliant software customization. In other words WP7 is already changing the game :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] richard1978:
1 of the reasons that was putting me of the samsung was samsung but i do likr the screen. now the hd7 is just gorgeous but i think it needs the omnia7 screen i was looking to go on orange but o2 have got the hd7 exclusive to them and their contracts are rubbish (over priced) where as the omnia i can get on all the other networks
[Windows Phone 7 General] lugi93:
My point exactly..strict MS is kinda useful here :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Thats one of the reasons why I think WP7 will succeed. As M$ will make the OEM's upgrade the devices.

Also they have seemed to manage to get local currency's when buying apps (which is more than Google has so far).

I installed Titanium Backup and froze Media hub, and now after my phone is locked and screen goes off, it won't turn back on. I have to take out battery and then restart phone to access it. Anyone else have this problem? I just defrost media hub and checking to see if it'll do it again.

I did the same thing and my screen turns on just fine.

I froze media hub and three DRM services for the hell of it. Then I froze the downloader thing and the market died. So I unfroze the downloader and market works. Media hub has been frozen on my phone for about a week now.

Hey folks!

Just want to say thanks to everyone who put up some of the great FAQs and guides on here.

I'm successfully running Android on my HTC HD2 (TMOUS) w/ 1024Flash.

However, I am in need of some guidance.

I'm using the HD2Froyo_v2.1 build.

I have also successfully installed HardSPL.

I made a test call, and the person on the other end sounded like a tiny robot.

I read about this in the forum guides, but I'm not sure what exactly I should do.

Can anyone offer some advice/guidance?

I believe I need to install a custom Radio, but I'm not sure which one.

Also, are there any other issues I should expect or anticipate?

Will I be okay to continue using the Android OS from now on if I like it?

Thanks!!

Okay, so if I install that first one you gave me, I shouldn't have any call issues?

The build of Android I'm using seems to be running great, except for calls.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
So here are my questions:

I need to install this VBNROM, correct?

Does this affect the Radio? My Android was running fine, but wasn't processing calls.

Will this VBNROM take care of this issue?

Also, how do I get back to Android after a reboot.

I'm currently back in Windows Mobile, but don't know how to get back to my Android install.

Thanks for the help, guys!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
I'll try that first.

Any recommendations?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krum55:
Try changing your radio. Search this as I am not allowed to post threads:

HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread

Im pretty sure that you shouldn't flash to a .51 radio (grab the .50 ones) as they brick your TMOUS HD2.

If that doesn't fix the issue then you have to change your WM rom. Try Chucky's rom I found that got rid of the robot voice for me.

Post up if you have any questions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Thanks.

If you can email me the link, my email is kms311 AT hotmail DOT com

I want to make sure I have the right thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krum55:
try the 2.12.50.02_2, I am using that and it works perfect.

Also try putting music on your phone if you notice that it is playing faster than normal then change your WM rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Also, can someone tell me how to get back into Android?

I'm back in WinMobile, and I ran haret again. But now it just reboots to WinMobile each time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krum55:
Once android is loaded you won't have to do anything except get some cool new apps like angry birds (which is free and AWESOME). Also to boot up android, open the CRLCAD.exe then Haret.exe then it should boot. Not sure if i spelt it correctly but i hope you understand what i meant.

As I said before changing you WM rom may also help the robot voice. I would recommend Chucky's rom as it has a bootloader, so when WM loads there will be a black and white robot you press and it will boot up Android, better then opening both exe files.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krum55:
To flash a radio go to the forum i sent you, then go to the installing section

to install as said you need HardSPL, and then download the radio rar file, and also download the CustomRUU file. After they have finished downloading Rename and extract the radio rar file make sure the name says: RUU_Signed.nbh and then open up the CustomRUU.exe and it should load it on to your HD2.

Here is what they wrote:

Installing:

For installing a RADIO ROM you need HardSPL installed to your device.

Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" and flash with the CustomRUU: it won't hardreset your device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Okay. I think I follow.

So I'll load a Custom ROM, like Chucky's, using CustomRUU and renaming the file.

Then I'll load the 2.12.50.02.2 Radio, and I should be set.

Have I got that right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krum55:
Try flashing a radio first and see if it works. If you still have robo-voice which i doubt then you can load Chucky's Rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Trying that now.

I'll post results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
Well, I installed the new Radio, but I'm still getting the robotic, poor audio quality on calls.

I can't understand what the person on the other end is saying.

Should I now try a custom ROM?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krat0s123:
i would take the suggestion from the first reply by blacksxe, which is the VBNRom.. and install the radio recommendation version that was posted at the VBNRom page as well (2.15)... also, expect that you will boot to winmo each and everytime that you restart your phone.. as of now, there is no nand support that's available for users.. only the devs has it and it's still under development.. so just use the EBL program that's included on the VBNRom and set it to autoboot (6 seconds or even 10).. that way you won't have to run haret manually each and everytime you restart..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maniep:
Success?

All you did was moved a folder to your SD Card!

And now you are having all types of problems and asking all sort of questions.

And you know why?

Because you do not want to do any research, and reading.

Bottom line is, you want everything quick and easy.

That will continue to lead you to failure.

Read a couple of this threads and you will be able to run Android, and get read of those Robotic Noises on your own.

If you learn how to do it the right way in the first place, you will not have any problems.

You need to realize that there comes a point in the process when some guidance may still be needed for someone relatively new.

I understand what needs to be done, but there are literally HUNDREDS of combinations of ROMS, Radios, and programs.

I'm simply asking folks for a little guidance as to what might work best for my phone. I'd rather annoy one person on the forums than brick my phone. All these people have been willing to help me, and then you come in and post your tripe.

If I can't ask questions, then make the forum read-only.

I noticed on the VBNRom page that you're supposed to have HSPL 2.08, but the HSPL 2.08 instruction page states it doesn't work with a TMobile USA HTC, which is what I have.

But your signature says you've got VBNRom on a TMOUSA HTC.

Should I be doing this with the latest HSPL?

I love my Vibrant....just remember the G2 is hardware locked for rooting. There are some sweet roms for the Vibrant. And if you're hot for Froyo....there's a rom for that. The main issue is the Gps still has a few kinks to be worked out....other than that you'd have to pry it from my cold dead hands.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] RavenWulf:
I would and am waiting to see what is offered during Q1 of 2011... G2 may be "locked" but it's not hardware, besides the Vibrant still hasn't seen a stable 1.4GHz OC.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
Has anyone confirmed if the G2 will not be root'able? I was just informed I may get this as an early present...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] RavenWulf:
It hasn't been confirmed that it will remain unrootable. Last thing I read cyanogen and crew were working on it and have said it will be difficult but they will find a way just like they have with other pita phones like ours.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
Yeah I just checked the HTC Vision dev forums and they already have a one-click temp root, so I imagine a full root wouldn't be far off.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mdayjr:
Why are you selling it?its a bad ass phone. My wife has 1 and she loves hers. 2.2 update will be soon on it so anything you get today or tomorrow will have 2.2 on it. What's the point? The mts3g is still a new phone. Wait a bit. You might find something ultimate after the new year. 2011 is the year for 4g and its products.

well its all old technology, old processor that cant do flash, no hd screen...

it is a cool phone and hopefully 2.2 sense comes out and it will be good for a bit, but the newer 4g, hd phones are the way to go in my opinion.

[HD2 Accessories] 1337squirrel:
I've searched the HD2 accessories forum and found some inklings of the question I'm asking, but none that quite hit at the heart of the matter. So, my question is this:

Does the HD2 (TMO US) send line audio out through the micro-USB port? I would assume it does, since the dock HTC sells for the HD2 has a 3.5mm jack in back, and it only plugs into the phone via micro-USB.

And my follow-on question would be, if the HD2 does indeed have line audio in the micro-USB port, does anyone know of an actual splitter accessory that splits out line audio and USB charging? I saw this device at AndroidCentral.com's store (sorry, my new account doesn't allow external links) (htc-3-in-1-usb-adapter/5A18A3571.htm) in another thread. But since it's mini-USB and HTC claims it only works for the phones specified, does that mean a gender changer (Daydeal.com, Product ID 31355) wouldn't work with it? Thanks for any info/experiences you folks have!
[HD2 Accessories] 1337squirrel:
No one has any info for me?
[HD2 Accessories] NYGraFFit1:
I browsed around to see if i found anything on this also but i don't think it's possible since it's not a A/V port of any sort. as far as your second Q: The splitter would only be that; something to add additional port's on the device. ie: Since it's connected thru the Micro-sub and the splitter has a mini(assuming)-usb port, it can therefore be charged, Also add's an extra audio jack. (just examples)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[HD2 Accessories] 1337squirrel:
Thanks for the response. It may be that the HD2 by itself may not have line audio or any video out signal tied to the micro-USB port, but just the fact that that splitter exists for earlier HTC phones' mini-USB ports gives me hope that the line audio pin out is there. I mean, I'm not an electronics wiz by any stretch, but I think mini and micro USB only require 2 pins for power, right? And there's at least 4 pins there on a micro port.
[HD2 Accessories] wazmo:
The older HTC phones used the mini-USB compatible extUSB interface-where the top portion of the connector did the duty as the USB interface and the bottom portion of the connector was the audio interface. Between everyone hating to have a dongle to the emergence of microUSB as the industry standard put extUSB on the road to extinction.

ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extusb#Proprietary_connectors_and_formats
[HD2 Accessories] 1337squirrel:
Thanks for that. Makes sense, since they decided (for some stupid reason) to not add a 3.5 mm headphone jack to those phones. But what doesn't make sense is how they can give these newer phones great hardware, and tout their multimedia capabilities, and yet not add a functionality that Apple has had built in since their first iPhone. That's the main reason I still use it: because I don't want to carry two devices around.
[XPERIA X10 General] chriskaya:
[Howto]You failed the "unlock path" and your login/pwd doesn't work? Solution here!

Well, I don't really know where to put that, but I think it's important. (If a mod found a better place for this topic, feel free to move it :))

Here is what happened to me :

I use CPU set, and my batterie was low, so the phone was underclocked. I tried to wake up it, but because of underclock, it was too slow to respond and I've failed a few times.

So I decided to test the "forgot your path" button (it was the first time I needed it, so I didn't know what will happen :()

Then the phone asked me my gmail login and pass, but it wasn't working. I understood that it was because 3G was down, but I was stuck there. :eek:

After looking all around the web, I found that majestic solution :D :

If that issue happens to you one day, try that (when it asks you your login and pass) :

gmail address : your address without "(at)gmail.com" (i cannot put an @ cause I'm a new user :p)

password : null (yes you really have to write null in the password box)

Then it will normally ask you for a new "unlock path", and your phone is unlocked :cool:

Well I hope so, but if it worked for me and for other people on other devices (according to the forum where I found that), it should work for you!!

I hope it will be usefull to someone :)

[XPERIA X10 General] rogem_kk:
Now that is weird because when I was setting up my pattern I had to specify an answer to a question (like What is jour mother's maiden name, etc...). Just might be a good idea to actually set that up.
[XPERIA X10 General] deffecto:
Is there anyway, without the proper email name, to unlock the phone ? Anyway to bypass the pattern ?

P.S. Update Service doesnt respond to the phone- i follow the steps, when i hold Back key, put the microusb connector to the phone, green light LED appears, SEUS still holds on on the 4 steps to do, and in seconds, my phone is turning off, w/o pressing the Power button.

[HD2 General] shutupdrogba:
Updated to the new TMO ROM (3.14 and the new radio too) a few days ago and I've been noticing that my battery is draining too quick for comfort. Maybe I'm just paranoid because it's a new ROM but does anyone else lose ~6-10% a hour (standby + occasional texting)? And when I go online (using Opera 10 with or without wifi) or make a phone call, it feels like ~30% per hour.

Am I expecting too much from the battery or is this not normal?

PS. I already did a hard reset a couple of times after flashing the new ROM + countless soft resets after reinstalling a few cabs (CHT, Duttys, CleanRAM, EndKey, and Opera 10).

Thanks!

PPS. While I'm here...sometimes when I close Opera 10 and run other programs and then try to reopen Opera I get this warning: ***Cannot open 'Opera10-armv4i' a critical component is either missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable.*** Then it tells me to check task manager and close programs and start again. But I have no other programs running and I use CleanRAM and I still can't open Opera. The only way I can reopen it is via a soft reset...

Is that also common?

I'm at 44% battery and I've been using it moderately all day since 7AM... That's 12.5 hours... Not too bad for me.
[HD2 General] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hey, I just got an HD2 [TMOUS] and I installed NRGZ28's Energy ROM for the phone. I am new to this forum, but I know the rules since i Have been residing mostly around the Developers forum and the Excalibur forum. in any case, I did a lot of research last night on how to get the best battery life. I AM using Sense [I know that eats battery], but I removed pretty much everything I can think of from the homescreen that uses data connection. I turned my E-Mail to Update only when I tell it to ... i removed the weather panel [heard it could use up more battery due to effects] ... removed the FB panel (i can just use the app) ... and the twitter panel... Then I did as other guides said and turned off the "My Location" feature. I also did some reg tweaks I had read do some real good for the battery, and so far I have yet to notice any difference than before I did all that.

My report is that I loose about the same as the OP ... roughly 10% per hour. I mean, okay, 10 hours of battery life is OKAY IF I WERE ACTIVELY USING THE PHONE. I lose 10% when just going through the phone, not running games or music, or viewing photos or videos. Just on Sense, going to the Settings panel alot , through the Start Menu, and the lockscreen occasionally.

First off: Is that normal? Is there are more energy efficient ROM? What can I do?

Secondly: I am aware of Extended Batteries, and I have researched some of these too ... I heard the 1600 mAh one that fits in the satandard casing actually doesn't do much ... then there is a 2400 mAh (?) which requires its own back-casing because it is larger. I got an extended battery along those lines for my Excalibur, and was satisfied with how it made it easier to hold ... but does the bulk make THIS phone look worse? It sort of worked for the appearance of the Exca, but I feel like on this phone it would just look like a giant tumor ... Any recommendations? Any good standard size, expanded life batteries?

Thank You so much [in advance]!
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Your battery should be lasting longer than 10 hours. Mine lasts 12 or more hours with FB Data, Twitter Data, Push email and all of that with moderate usage. Mostly texts and emails, twitter and FB. Do you have your Automatically Adjust Backlight box checked and the other options checked under sounds & display in settings-->Backlight?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Indeed. My battery lasts at least 12 hours, most of the time 14ish hours before needing to be recharged. Haveing the system regulate the backlight is the single greatest thing you can do to conserve battery life, and alot of people have it tuned off for some crazy reason.
