[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
no lag here mines fine
[EVO 4G General] strung:
Download a piano, synthesizer or a drum pad app and you'll see the lag. It makes those type of apps unusable.

Not so on an iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] Skeptron:
if your rooted try ziggy's kernel,,, works best with myn's super mega ultra uber rom
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
This is stupid.... instead of recommending a bunch of kernals that are all different why don't we try to see wtf is the problem in the first place. What is making this lag? Anyone know? And no... custom kernals do not get rid of it no matter how much I hear on these forums. ITS STILL THERE.
[EVO 4G General] nrap:
somebody explain the lag more thoroughly
[EVO 4G General] Skeptron:
Cyanogen with Snap kernel is also good
[EVO 4G General] notasimpleway:
I don't have any problem with screen lag. Even when gaming. I think you may have a faulty phone.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Like someone already suggested, download a piano app or guitar app and try to play at a normal pace. You will notice the lag in the best way there.

Better yet go to an Apple store and bring your Evo. See how responsive homescreen toggling is between the 2 devices. My first gen iTouch does a better job than my Evo. Something stinks.
[EVO 4G General] BIGDINOG:
You probably should get rid of the Evo and get a new Iphone.
[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
Unfortunately, it is not all Evo's that have the problem, it is your (and apparently, a few others) Evo that has the problem. So, for most of us, their is nothing to fix.

I can tell you that my Evo has less touch lag than my wife's old Iphone 3gs. I have also used an Ipad a quite a bit lately, and my Evo is as good or better than the Ipad regarding touch lag.

That said, with my Evo (002 hardware, purchased release day), The touch lag that it had initially, which was horrible, was totally fixed by changing the rom and kernel. I am currently running Fresh 3.4.0.1 and Netarchy's 4.2.1 cfs kernel overclocked to 1113600. I also play games on it, for example, I have three stars on all levels in angry birds and 17 golden eggs. The worst game I had when the phone had the lag problem was air hockey, which plays smooth and flawlessly now that my phone has no lag at all. The no lag and 5 point touch makes playing the piano ap a breeze, just wish my piano playing skills were better.

One thing you might try is make sure you have at least 100 mb of free internal memory. The only time I get lag now days is if my memory gets low.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Downloaded both a piano app and a guitar app - there was absolutely no lag on either. Both played notes and chords instantly.

I also downloaded air hockey though, and that one does have some very slight lag as the game speeds up - that should be the app people should download if they want to experience the issue. If I wasn't specifically looking for the lag though, or if I didn't try the air hockey app, I would never have noticed it, since it doesn't interfere with the day to day usage of the phone. I also use a screen protector, so I imagine that's coming into play too.

edit - using baked snack 1.9 and the kernel it comes with
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
sounds like you need a iphone then i have tried both both apps and have no lag
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Maybe I don't know what lag is, but I just downloaded a piano app (quite a bit of fun actually) and responsiveness is immediate. Also, I played fruit ninja with my 9 year old cousin this weekend side by side with his dads iPhone 4 and the only difference I noticed was the smaller and richer screen of the iPhone. Performance was nearly identical. By the way, I use auto killer to keep at least 100mb free at all times.

[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
I've just made a better comparison video between the Desire HD and the Nokia N95.

This time I chose different music that has a larger range of low, mid and high tones. Especially the low tones were important for this test.

[YOUTUBE]tkNv8hi40bA[/YOUTUBE]

As you can see the difference is quite big.

The Desire HD shows no signs of any low tones at all, only high tones at a low "crackly" quality.

Also the volume is lower, but that wouldn't have been a disaster IF there were any low tones (bass).

So in short:

-Volume too low

-Absolutely no low tones (bass)

-Sound quality is low and "crackly"

Ok, we all know that the speakers aren't good, as my previous poll has shown:

A shocking 68% (>2 out of 3 people) is very disappointed with the speakers, but we all expected this outcome I guess...

Make no mistake, I'm not out to bash HTC, but to find a solution one must research the actual problem.

Having said this, I'm really interested in other high-end phone speaker comparisons, such as the Galaxy S, Iphone 4 and the Nokia N8.

If you have both a Desire HD and another high-end phone, please make a video of them playing the same song as I played, and post it in this thread.

The reason I want to do this, is to give HTC multiple comparisons so they can see for themselves that there is a problem with the speakers,

and that they are not acceptable for a brand new flagship phone.

Especially not when older flagship phones beat the Desire HD while it's over 3 years old...

It's such a pity, because the rest of the phone is absolutely amazingly fantastic.

Here you can find the track I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPoQsOBzlgQ
[Desire HD General] whiteythomson:
I guess this may seem really stupid but I read somewhere about someone attempting to switch the speakers over to the one found in their HD2 as it apparently performs a little better. I haven't received mine yet but I would have no issue in switching the speaker over if it is possible. Anyone had any thoughts on this such as where to get a good replacement speaker and how hard it might be to actually do the swap?
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
Desire HD vs Samsung i8910HD speaker comparison.

Desire HD vs Samsung i8910HD speaker comparison.

At the time the i8919HD came out, it was considered to be a pretty good phone, but not for long.

[YOUTUBE]yJ4vNS6WLWQ[/YOUTUBE]

Also in this case, the Desire HD loses.
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
I'm not surprise with the result at all, both the N95 and I8910 have 2 speakers that are on the sides of the while while the DHD has only on speaker at the back of the phone. Both N95 and I8910 are also symbian in which you can access the hardware setup to tweak the loudness of the speaker.

However, to be fair to the DHD, I would wanna see comparison with other phones that have only 1 speaker and are android-based.
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
Actually, I believe the DHD does have 2 speakers. It seems to have another one in the earpiece.

As I think it's still is fair because when I block 1 speaker on the N95, it still really outperforms the DHD.

Also, if the speaker would produce low tones, I'm sure it would have performed a lot better.

It's annoyingly high pitched, almost as if you're sitting next to someone who has their headphones or earplugs in playing very loud music....
[Desire HD General] appelflap:
I don't know, but it is as if every device is made with some kind of shortcoming. By now, after using many devices over the years, I tend to conclude that it is a shameless marketing thing. Producers know that users of high end, state of the art devices will keep looking for the best, so they will continu to make almost the best, just to make a better one after 6 months or so. :p
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
what song was used for that comparison?
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
i think its 'netsky - iron heart'
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
What you have just stated is a fact, and it's called planned obsolescence.

If you want to know more about these things, watch the documentary Zeitgeist Addendum here, or watch and download here.

If you would have read the startpost, you would have known. :D
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
hmm i don't seem to see it in the startpost yumyum??

thanks noobdeagle!
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
It's on the bottom of the 1st post, it's a youtube link.
[Desire HD General] ab.er.rant:
I don't want to bash HTC too considering that I'm really appreciative of some of their older phones. But I'm quite disappointed with the fact that HTC either did very poor product testing or market survey for DHD, or they deliberately dumbed it down to save cost and maximise profit. I hate thinking that about them, but the battery, the external speaker, the ill-fitting and poorly-designed covers, the mis-alignment issues... just really feels like cost-cutting measures; really disappointing.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dalingrin:
It is actually an issue with Python. In Archlinux /usr/bin/python is actually python 3 not python 2 that most scripts expect.

As much as I love arch I think that is one of their worst decisions. Either change the environment variable for the current session to point to python2, or change the line in the script that sets the python executable, or remove python and install python2 with a symlink to /usr/bin/python

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denyson234:
My phone keeps going from the vibrant galaxy S loop and never boots I have try to get into recovery mode but pressing vol up, power button and home all the same time but I get another screen something about android upload. it there another way to get into the recovery mode?

thank you
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
Here is a couple of methods to get into download mode.

Once you get to download mode, follow the directions later in my post...

First Method

1) Pull the battery, sim card, and sd card.

2) Reinsert battery but do not press any buttons.

3) Plug into usb that is connected to your computer. If something shows up on the screen (charging logo) then you should be golden.

4) Hold the vol up, vol down, and power until the screen comes on, immediately release the power button but not the other two. You should be in dl mode.

Second Method

1) Another method that seems to work for some people is to pull the battery, sim, sd card.

2) Reinsert battery and hold both volume buttons but do not press power button.

3) Then plug in usb. The phone should boot into download.

Third Method

1) You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone and ADB. Samsung Drivers for 32 bit Windows: http:// files.androidspin.com/downl...SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_ Mobile_Phones_x86.exe

or here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/ MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml

Samsung Drivers for 64 bit Windows: http:// files.androidspin.com/downl...ng/vibrant/& file=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip

or here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/ MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml

2) Remove sim card and sd-card. Remove the battery.

3) Hold buttons vol up, vol down, and power.

4) While holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in and keep holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears. Once it reappears, release all 3 buttons.

5) Now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable.

6) Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type "ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD" caps are not necessary.

7) Your phone will reboot into the download mode.

Once in download mode

Download the files in the linked thread and follow the directions there or the ones below.

Files Needed Available Here (pit and pda): http:/ /xdaforums.com/showthread.php? t=734475

Odin v1.7 Available Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821625

1) Open Odin and verify that one of the Com ports shows a device connected. If it doesn't try using a different usb port.

2) Load the .pit and pda files. It should be pretty obvious how to do that once you are in Odin.

3) Make sure that the option to partition is unchecked. The other two options should be checked.

4) Hit start and wait.

5) Your phone will restart when Odin is done and you will be good to go.

Also, you might have to build the usb jig. It is guaranteed to get you into download mode. Here is a link to that thread: http://xdaforums.com/ showthread.php?t=819551

Also, if you would like I can use remote log in to your computer and do it for you. Send me a pm or email: hockeyrcks9901@gmail.com

Alright, so I think I bricked my phone! I had put android on it. 2.2 bluetopia? and everything was running fine. My battery was low so I go to charge it, but before I do that a page I was loading from the net froze on me without realizing and the screen dident turn off. I left and did some things and come back to the phone, screen is still on, still frozen and EXTREMELY hot. I get really nervous and get my phone and its to the point where I cant even hold it for too long without it hurting my hands. I take out the battery and pray for the best. My praying sucks apparently because now it does not turn on. Ive tryed letting the phone cool down though the night and it does not turn on. Ive tryed taking out sim card and mem card and it does not turn on. Ive tryed taking out the battery and plugging the the charger it does not turn on. Ive tryed with the battery with the charger it does not turn on! phone gets warm when I put the battery back in. Light that indicates when its charging with the charger doesnt turn on. only slight good news is when I turn the power on I feel a slight vibration from the phone like if its trying to turn on but just cant. Hope someone could shed some light and let me know If I should just move on because this sucks!!!!

ps. I hope people learn from my mistake.

pss. What are the return polices from htc or tmobile? Im concerned because I bought the phone second hand.

thanks for reading/helping.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
Sounds like your processor's fried bud. If your phone ever gets hot, or even very warm, TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY!!

I know this doesn't help you, as it's too late, but I have seen alot of people mentioning thier phone becoming hot and maybe this will save some headaches.

Sometimes when the HD2 runs low on ram, especially in the Sense Android builds, it seems that the cpu load spikes to 100%, and if left in this state the processor can potentially burn itsself out.

The only time your phone should ever increase in temperature is when it is charging from a very low battery, and still it should not become hot, only slightly warm.

Looks like it's time to call your phone company for a replacement :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidd:
Seems like ur HD2 is on its suspend cycle, take battery out, leave it for a while (it could be from 2 hours to 8 hours, you have to run-down some sort of internal battery charge), try to switch-on then.

It could have happened bcs of a incompatible radio or Rom, you know you have to have certain WM Rom & radio to run Android.

thanks everyone for your suggestions and input. Ive called HTC and they said my phone is still under warrenty to be fixed as long as it meets there requirments. one of those was "illegal software". would android on the phone be illegal? how about custom rom/radio? would any of the files be saved onto the phone memory? the phone is fried i think so im assuming they cant access the files? id rather find out now instead of sending the phone and not knowing for 3-4 weeks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
Android won't void your warranty, but HSPL will. If you are running a custom rom, chances are you HSPL'ed it. But if you can get it into bootloader (vol down and power your phone on), you can revert back to stock spl by running HSPL on your phone with it in bootloader and choosing SPL 2.08. If you can't get into bootloader, send it away for replacement, they wont be able to tell whether or not it has had HSPL on it, as bootloader is only way to find this out.

i need some help. i cant download from the market after i went back to a 2.1 rom from a 2.2 beta rom. any ideas?
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
Is it stuck on downloading?

Usually when it is, I just leave it there-- then after a few minutes, it will tell you it's installing.

You can also try going to Settings > Applications > Market and clearing data and cache. Then open up market again and let it refresh.
[Epic 4G General] pjames:
i tried that already and it still hasnt changed. even did a factory reset twice
[Epic 4G General] bilestoad:
I SO don't know what I'm talking about. Ever. But especially here.

However having said that, perhaps you flashed the baseband to 2.2 with the modem file and Odin, and need to flash it back to a 2.1.

Anyone confirm/feel free to correct me and call me names....

Also I've had issues with the market upon restoring backups after trying out different ROMs. Sometimes I stop all the backed-up market downloads, then clear the cache, the reboot and try downloading apps again one or two at a time and that works. Recently I had an issue where the market thought I didn't have a program installed, but I did have it from a Titanium backup. Market kept trying to restore it. Then I uninstalled it from my Epic and reinstalled it from the market.
