I have the same issue.

WiFi is working fine, but mobile internet doesn't work.

I tried to set up connection setting, but without success.

P.S. In WM6.5 internet is working good.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rocker128:
I had this same problem few days ago when first installing Android in my HD2. I discover that my problem isn't in Android but rather the mobile internet settings within Android, namely missing APNs.

Boot up Android, go to settings> Wireless... >mobile internet settings> APN.

If there is nothing in there that is the problem. Just google for the carrier's APN and enter it manually. u need to press the 'start' menu button on the phone in order to bring up the option to enter new APN.

Hope this helps :)

PS: I'm using MDJ Froyo Revolution 1.5

Hi it seems like I need to do a new thread for this, I just need answers thank you

*upon checking my phone

I have this

and as I learn to check what Hard SPL is installed in my device (thanks to you guys :)) it says 3.29. 0000 or something like that, so my question is... does my phone already have been flashed? if so can i skip to to loading the Rom i wanted, i do need help thanks

if not this is from mskip

are the instructions from flashing hard spl 3.29 below it or what? I'm just confused coz' I found this tutorial here in the forums also http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2498297&postcount=10

Re-read again and again, until it makes sense. Understanding the huge material around here is not to be taken in only one day.

I spent my early days 2 weeks by merely reading, collecting tools (and patches) before even attempting to flash.

Dear all,

I have HTC TP2 device, and I tried to add shortcuts on the home page, when I got the steps from the HTC site, I could not apply them, can anybody help me in this?

- I could not find the '+' button.

- When I press and hold on an icon in the start menu, I can find only one command in the popup menu (Move to top).

---

From HTC site:

Personalizing Your Home Screen: Shortcuts

Placing shortcuts on your Home screen gives you quick access to your favorite programs, contacts you most frequently communicate with, and other information.

Adding a shortcut

Press HOME and then tap the + button. You can also press and hold an empty area on the Home screen.

When the Add to Home options menu opens, tap Shortcut.

Select the type of shortcut to add to the Home screen. You can create a shortcut to a Bookmark, Gmail label, your mail inbox, music playlist, a contact, or a program.

To quickly add an application shortcut that is on the All programs screen to the Home screen, press and hold an application icon. When the phone vibrates, drag the icon to an empty area on the Home screen, and then release it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
This can only be done if you are running Sense 2.5. Most TP2/Tilt2 phones came with TouchFlo 3D or an earlier version of Sense. These have a Programs page where you can choose which program icons you want to appear, but they won't be on the Home page.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrtarrouk:
Thanks a lot for you reply. May you please tell me what is the difference between Sense and TouchFlo, are they two different programs, which is better and if those programs are supported from HTC or not. In other words, can I go to an HTC shop in my country to install it for me or it is downloadable from their site?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
You can get in touch with your carrier to see if an upgrade is warranted for your device. Only a couple of carriers got the Sense "upgrade." It is considerably slower than TF3D if you go through their options. If you really want to experience Sense the way it should be, try one of the many custom ROMs on this site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrtarrouk:
Thanks a lot. Can you refer me to one of the good ROMs here in the forum.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
What country, carrier are you on?

Couple reason I ask this. Firstly, some carriers released an official ROM update to Sense 2.5.

Also, custom ROMs on this website are limited to GSM versions of the TP2, although there is CDMA subforum, with links to ROMs for CDMA devices.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Even though some carriers released updates to Sense from TF3D, I don't think it's a good idea to use them. I have yet to see a single one that was stable enough for continued use. They are generally resource intensive. Chefs of custom ROMs take the device's hardware into consideration unlike the carriers who only seem to want to load it with their own software.

Some people seemed pleased with the latest ATT ROM with Sense 2.5. I never flashed it, so I can't personally comment. And the shipped ROM was so horrible, I have trouble believing it myself. Plus, you get the usual ATT bloat. But I mentioned the possibility of an official ROM update, only because many people are scared of flashing a custom ROM.

But I completely agree with you that a custom ROM is probably the way to go.

To the OP, poking around on the internet, I see that Vodafone in Egypt is GSM, so you can use the custom ROMs on this website.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrtarrouk:
Thanks a lot. Yes Vodafone Egypt is a GSM operator. Can you tell me whether I can backup my original ROM before I flash a cooked one (in case I needed it) ... And also please refer me to the best cooked ROM here and the steps to flash/install it on my device.

Hi all,

Since we did it before for the Hermes and the Raphael it might be an idea to make a list of issues with HW/SW people have noticed vs the serial numbers of thier devices:

The serial Number can be found under the battery, generally the first 6 digits will do.

The serial # will be something like HT0AFRTxxxxx (mine....xxxxx being the bit I keep private).

Something like these wiki pages is what I was thinking:

Raphael - http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Raphael_Problems

Hermes - http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Hermes/Problems

Think this might be useful?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Would be useful to track if there are hardware revisions. On the G2 forums, they've reported what seems to be a slightly different model number on later phones.

Also, would be useful to know if there's anything about the model number which helps identify Euro/Asia vs NAM phones, etc, etc.

Hi here,

HT0BGRT.....

Stock ROM, not branded, bought December 15th.

I don't really know how to judge wether hinges are loose or not, anyone with a video link or some tip? The keyboard part is not very firmly sticed to the screen part, it moves a little, but nothing annoying.

New problem here: after 2 weeks of use, my screen have a laggy behaviour. Appeared yesterday. It's best seen when playing Angry Birds for instance: you pull a bird and it often starts while the finger is still on the screen. Often also the touch lost if immediately followed by a tap (as an example, yellow birds start and get boost exactly in the same time, from the beginning). I can also note this behaviour in sliding anything, sometimes the slide stops and further finger move won't do anything until i remove my finger and put it again. Really looks like a hardware problem, but not sure.

[G2 and Desire Z General] JupiterDroid:
Only had the phone for two days so this should improve even more:

overclocking to 1.4ghz, under clocking when screen off to 0.3. 9 hours screen off, didn't lose a percent, still 100 on desire Z. EPIC!

[G2 and Desire Z General] JPHCCFC:
how many hours can you get out of it when you are using it throughout the day, e.g. email, internet browsing, twitter, bit of music and phone calls? using data and wifi?. Im on my 5th day and averaging about 14 hours, hoping that the battery hasnt settled yet, otherwise my hope is for the NAND being hacked and roms for optimal performance!
[G2 and Desire Z General] darthmelk:
Do you actually get more real-life performance out of the overclocking (snappier menus, faster app launching), or the only place where it shows is the benchmark? Is Sense faster, or is the difference not visible (0.8 vs 1.4)?

On the other hand, underclocking could be really useful to preserve battery. But doesn't the processor underclock on its own when in standby (by design), do we need to use 3rd party apps?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
contrary to what you should expect,

overclocking this SoC just hightens the clock's max roof from 800MHz to 1GHz, 1.2 or 1.4GHz, not the "permamnt" MHz count,

because it auto-fluctuates and adapt depending on usage

AND with the SetCPU app (which I assume JupiterDroid is using),

cycles per second can be optimized even more.

The phone won't go up all over the way to 1.4GHz when idle, but will maintain a very low cycles per second clocks, thus improving battery life
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
Here's my experience w/ battery life and overclocking the Desire Z (for today).

I only have it set to overclock to 1GHz and I have typical SetCPU profiles to underclock to 245MHz when not in use.

My phone has been off the charger since 9am (5.5 hours) and is sitting at 92% battery power. This includes permanent connection to WiFi (no sleep policy), receiving updates to email/gmail and some text conversations with Trillian and a 15 minute email (composed w/ keyboard).

Compared to my old HTC Hero (Running VR 1.5.0), this is a huge improvement, though with VR 1.5.0 I could run JuiceDefender & have similar battery life with the right profile setup.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
Yup I even notice better battery life in actual use. My friends were running youtube and doing web searches like crazy on my phone last night + games for a good 5 straight hours and the battery was holding up well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Raspster:
I've got to say, the battery life on the Desire Z is outstanding... 18 hours with light use and battery still @ 92%!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] muminisko:
What about 1GHz core compile?
[G2 and Desire Z General] JPHCCFC:
are you using set CPU and overclock?
[G2 and Desire Z General] JPHCCFC:
Is anybody getting time without a signal percentage in the cell standby item in the battery usage? Im getting 12% sometimes more and im getting about 14 hours battery life with moderate use! I dont feel im getting the best out of the battery and worried this might be part of the issue!
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
Hi guys.. sorry for the novice post.. i have had my Desire Z for a day and am interested in overclocking it - but

a) are you saying it possibly INCREASES battery life?

b) is the speed diff noticeable in day to day use - or just benchmarks?

c) How do i overclock - what is SetCPU and how does it work?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xerawx:
I don't think my battery has settled yet .. I hope not anyway, and I just (temp) rooted and overclocked to 1Ghz last night, haven't tried higher yet because I feel like my battery is kind of just disappearing so far, none of this epic "all day and then some" stuff some people are reporting. I think it may be that fact that I've been using the device pretty sporadically so far, and it hasn't had a chance to settle.

Also "cell standby" seems to be using a lot of battery, and I'm thinking that's because I'm unfortunately in a spot where I get extremely poor to no coverage most of the day. So I'm thinking the cell radio is using a lot of juice trying to get that 1 bar I sometimes see here. There didn't seem to be a way to easily disable the cell radio without disabling wifi though, until I found this "airplane mode wifi tool" on the market which I just installed.

So now my cell radio GPS and bluetooth are all off while wifi is on, hopefully that will make a difference. I'm wondering if using 802.11n is more draining than 802.11g also I know both my router and the desire z support N but "network info II" reports I'm only connecting at 65Mbps, while my laptop connects at 150Mbps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xerawx:
I don't think there's any way overclocking can actually increase battery life, but managing CPU speed with SetCPU seems to be more effective than the default behaviour for some reason, so the fact you're overclocking when using it but underclocking when not using it results in longer battery life. I'm pretty sure it does regulate the speed automatically without setCPU but maybe it doesn't clock the CPU down to absolute minimum by default when the screen is off?

Anyway the noob friendly guide to overclocking by JD is on the forum with an [INSTRUCTIONS] tag.. I can't link to it apparently since I'm a noob. :(

Edit: Added link :) ~TheRomMistress
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
Thanks guys. Main thing i'm curious about is whether i just install SetCPU or i have to "root"
[G2 and Desire Z General] xerawx:
Yes, SetCPU needs root access.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mxthor3:
Still trying to figure out how the OP is underclocking to .3 using SetCPU.. Lowest I can go is 245..

Unless I'm an idiot and completely missing something.. I'd love to turn this phone way down when the screen right off. As it sits, I'm lucky to get a full day from a fully charged battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Your mileage may vary :D

You can check by yourself and then uninstall if you are not satisfied (or just reboot and changes will dissappear, since we don't have permanent root yet)

Again: try by yourself and please report back, we are just starting with the desire Z and every experience/oppinion is welcomed

Already linked
[G2 and Desire Z General] xerawx:
Pretty sure that's what he meant, 245 being roughly 0.3 Ghz. That's the lowest I can go as well. My battery life seems to have skyrocketed since I turned off the cell radio, but obviously that's not an ideal solution if you want to make or receive calls still. If you're in a spot with virtually no coverage though, but you can get wifi, it helps a lot, because the radio will be using a lot more power to try to get a signal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mxthor3:
Awesome, thanks for the confirmation dude. I was thinking I was going crazy :)

Let's see how long the battery lasts today at work..

Another nice mod is the 'trackpad wakeup' mod which allows you to use the trackpad to wake the phone up when asleep. A lot nicer then always having to use the button on the top of the phone :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:

Is it normal that Setcpu fluctuates rapidly from 1.0 to 0.3hgz while monitoring the program? I am not getting the same battery saving as reported here.

My first charge didn't last a day, but i let the battery die completly before recharging and kept it recharging for a while after full. i got a complete day of heavy usage. After the 2nd recharge i travelled with my phone and it was a great improvement. I can get nearly 2 full days of medium to heavy usage (playing games, phone calls, and browing/emails).

i recommend draining the battery completely before a full recharge and keep the phone plugged in a while after full. this should improve the battery performrance.

no overclocking yet, but the performance seems good enough!
