[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma075:
Hi there,

I recently purchased an HTC HD2 phone (new) from one of the stores in India. After using it for a period of 4-6months, the phone is giving me the following problems:

- Network signals tend to go off suddenly(though the sim card works perfect on other low end phones!)

- Sometimes I am unable to make outgoing calls and outgoing sms's though I am able to receive calls and sms's.

I contacted the phone service provider in India (where I am based at) and they said the problem is with the phone. I then contacted HTC India through their site and they wrote back since the S/N code provided of the phone is of UK, I need to write to them for a solution. So am pretty much going around in circles and yet to receive some response. A friend recommended this site and here I am seeking for HELP from all the experts.

I am unable to upgrade the software/rom for the phone and may be all the problems are to do with the softwares not being upgraded (not sure though). Below are the details:

Model : HTC HD2 T8585

s/n : HT03XNW03568

OS : 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manila version : 2.5.19211619.0

ROM version : 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE

ROM DATE : 01/11/10

RADIO VERSION : 2.06.51.07

PROTOCOL VERSION 15.30.50.07U

I am really tired of going from pillar to post to sort this out. How do I upgrade the ROM and the other software as when I insert the S/N number while downloading I get a message saying the upgrade is not possible for this S/N!

The battery life is horrible too and just drains off within 8-10hrs in spite of making just 1-2calls and 2-4sms and no surfing in that 10hr period.

Please help :confused:

Best regards from India

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LooieENG:
I read somewhere earlier, that because the Desire Z is only 800MHz it won't support Android 3.0

However, I've seen people OC it to 1.8GHz, so surely it should support it (at least a port)?

I played with the phone today and I love it. If I can get confirmation on this I'll probably order it tonight
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
The G2 is as fast or better yet faster then nearly all the current Android phones. So in other words, yes, it will be getting Gingerbread.

Officially who knows when (T-Mobile has to issue the update) but unofficially (XDA Developers) you can expect to see it within days or weeks after the Gingerbread source has been released by Google.

Also, you posted this in the wrong section ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbmm:
i thought gingerbread was 2.3

3.0 is honeycomb
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy125:
The 1GHz thing was a myth and was debunked a while ago. So yes we will be getting it. (Wrong section btw)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
I might be wrong but, if you're even on XDA in the first place, why worry about official updates? If it's out there, someone will find a way to make a G2 ROM. (Um, speaking of Android only. I'm not sensing a Motoblur port anytime soon.)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
ha,... your right man.

OP,....

If you are asking about 2.3 Gingerbread, then read http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/07/...details-post-some-corrections-clarifications/

.... We will be getting 2.3, officially or unofficially, who knows.

If you did mean 3.0 Honeycomb, then no-one knows as there are zero details to base any speculation on. Fingers crossed though.

EDIT..... Thread reported to be moved.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilnotdie:
I can almost guarantee you that we will get both.

XDA and or Open Source Android Developers {whatever you call your self :) sry } here and there, do not take NO for an answer.

Look at the G1, its gotten just about every rom....official and unofficial.

Even if it isnt snappy (oh that slow ass G1!!!) lol, it WILL make it to the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LooieENG:
Thanks for the replies everyone (and sorry about posting in the wrong section, it was between this and the dev section)

I said 3.0, but it must have been 2.3 as there isn't much about 3.0 and yeah I'm fully aware that we WILL definitely get it thanks to the great modders out there, I just didn't want to be stuck with old hardware

Anyway, I read in a link that gtrab posted, the 800MHz 2nd generation Snapdragon is better than the 1GHz first generation, and also has a seperate GPU so should be nothing to worry about, right? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Indeed that is correct. HTC Desire w/ stock 2.2 scores roughly 1100 in benchmarks, stock DZ 2.2 gets 1600 I think.

whats the best way to switch from theme to theme... i had one basic theme running like a charm on my G2 and then i saw one that caught my eye and flashed it over top, decided i didnt like it and when i went to go back to the original, a lot of the stuff stuck from the theme i didnt want to keep.... so i ended up wiping everything and reinstalling CM 6.1, for some reason my nandroid back up didnt work so i had to reinstall the entire rom and set everything back up to my liking. used Titanium back up to reinstall all my apps and such, ran into a problem with the contacts and phone app though they were gone. had to pull them from a rom and reinstall... dont know why that happened...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztm.000:
Fellow Nexus S'ers, please assist me in a decision that needs to be made by tomorrow.

I have AT&T. I want T-Mobile (or do I?).

Thanks ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
Only you can answer this. Are you happy with your AT&T service? Have you ever had Tmo before, and is it good enough service for you where you live? If so, then Tmobile (IMO) would be the way to go.

Tmobile is cheaper, and (personally) I've never had a dropped call with Tmo - not to mention awesome CS! Been with Tmo for about 8 years, never considered AT&T. Good luck! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Singlespeed:
Like Bmerz said I would only switch if you don't like ATT. I have had both and can only say that ATT has better overall coverage, but Tmobile's customer service is 10X better than ATT.

Tmobile's coverage in most cities is about the same, but if you travel and rely on cellphone coverage while in rural areas keep ATT.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztm.000:
I'm okay with at&t, but I was gonna switch at the beginning of the year to T-Mobile for the N1, but decided not to. I'm gonna do it.

But I still don't know if i want a contract for a cheaper price. What do you guys think about that? I hate being locked in to contracts.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
Again, only you can answer this. If you can afford the upfront cost of the NS ($529), then going without a contract is probably (in the long run) the way to go. But if you're on a budget, then unfortunately doing a contract and getting the phone for less (upfront $199), would be the better solution for you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dale_cooper:
Pretty accurate statement there....

I had ATT for several years but now have Tmobile (I switched for a Nokia N900 a year ago, then of course got the n1, as well as a myriad of other phones).

Anyways - Tmobile is cheaper $80 vs $90 if you're on contract. $60 vs $90 if you're on even more plus (which I am). EM+ and not having a contract is awesome... just in case some other carrier peaks my interest, I can switch easily. Tmobile has HSPA+ right now, at&t doesn't. At&t in my area doesn't have the best speeds.

There is this perception out there that TMO is a low quality carrier, when in reality they're completely fine (and their customer service has a reputation for being top notch). Sure they don't have coverage everywhere, but for HSPA+ and the cost, it's really good.

If you have HSPA+ active in your area, its a no brainer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
I have been with T Mobile (and Voice Stream before it changed the name to T Mobile) for over 13 years. They have been very good to me. I really would not consider switching to any other carrier at this point in time. Their CS is the best in the Business. I personally think they will be getting some really great phones coming up next year. As for right now IMHO I don't believe there is a phone out right now that tops the Nexus S or even rivals it at the moment. I have the N1( which I am in process of selling) the MT4G and a Vibrant. Also going to sell the MT4G(great phone but am not confident messing with it , like roms etc. due to security measures etc) I like the Vibrant the best at the moment as I feel it is easier to install roms etc and recover it if something wild happens. I am eagerly anticipating the Nexus S which I hope to receive tomorrow. I would not switch from T Mobile they go the extra mile for long time loyal customers
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
I'm on my parent's AT&T family plan, so they pay for my Cell :) (I had T-Mobile year ago on my own, but disappointed with their Androids so I went to AT&T and joined my parents).

I'm buying the Nexus S full price, so I'll see how it handles EDGE on AT&T first, if it sucks, I'll drive a couple blocks to my T-Mobile store and get the Even More Plus no contract plan for $60 a month and transfer my number over.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubernetes:
It's folly to give a general recommendation because it will all depend on where you live. I really like T-Mobile, but that's only because I have very good coverage where I live.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leyvatron:
I agree with this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
Always choose your carrier first (based on location)

Then choose the best phone that carrier has.

If Att & Tmo are equal coverage then I would go with Tmo since they are a nicer company (price and customer service wise) to their customers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
I am a long time T-Mobile customer and I'll buy it in full price to keep contract intact.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
If you can get decent T-Mobile service around your city, especially your house, and you can get T-Mobile 3G, it's a no brainer. T-Mobile's speeds are lightyears ahead of AT&T ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlindWolf8:
I believe you can get T-Mobile and try it out for a certain amount of time to test it out in your area. I think the window is either 30 or 45 days. Ask a T-Mobile rep in your area for more info.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
What has been said here already is true. I've used both AT&T and T-Mobile and while my coverage was a bit better with AT&T, the way they treated me as a customer was downright unacceptable. They deserve to be at the bottom of Consumer Reports.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrisonerOfDoom:
I've had much better service/coverage with T-Mobile than I did with AT&T. Customer service has been waaaaaaay better with T-Mobile as well. If you aren't stuck with AT&T, my vote is to sign a 2-year contract with T-Mobile.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2842059:
Is there an EM+ for the Nexus S? I'm strongly weighing the paying the ETF on my AT&T account and grabbing something in the morning. As long as I have unlimited data I'm fine...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dale_cooper:
Of course, you just buy the phone outright (529) and sign up for EM+ at $60 / month.

Only reason to be on at&t is for the iPhone, otherwise T-Mobile will meet your need and for less
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slimmehenkie:
Hi,

I am new and just installed Android ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.112210 on my HTC Touch Pro 2 phone. Once I had the 3G connection with the Dutch KPN working but after a reboot of the phone, I can not manage to get it working again. Wifi and BT are ok except the 3G connection.

Did a 'to default reset' and tried several APN setting but none of them turn the 3G connection back to live.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Rick.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Does the cell radio function? In other words, can you make/receive calls/texts?

If yes, then the APN settings are a good thing to look at - also, do you have a 3g icon with up/down arrows next to the signal strength meter?

One other good question to ask - does your provider require a proxy to access the 'net?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slimmehenkie:
Yes, I can call and recieve calls. Also sms messages are working fine.

The only thing which is missing is the G3 data connection icon and actually the datalink.

No, the provider does not need a proxy setting. As I wrote in my start, I had it working good but just after a reboot without any changes on the APN parameters, it didnt come back again.

Thanks for your reply Arrrghhh!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Hrm. May want to try with a new/fresh data.img. If you rename your existing data.img, a new one will be created during boot. See if it helps... unfortunately deleting that file has fixed so many odd issues, it's not even remotely funny.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slimmehenkie:
Okay, I will give it a go when comming back from my trip next week.

I did remove all files a couple of times and re-installing the Android software but maybe not all data has been removed? At least it did not solve the problem.

By the way, could it be caused by having the system on the SD card rather than in the phone memory? And could it be related to the type of phone selected during boot time? I am using the HTC Touch Pro 2 and not selecting the Tilt-2 but the ?210 (forgot the name and the phone is off) due to the fact that the keyboard is wrong with the tilt-2 option.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sad0felix:
Ehm, you can wipe your SD card all the times you want, but this won't solve anything if the APN is wrong or if your carrier requires user/pass, proxy or whatever else.

So first go check you actual APN configuration in WinMo, get a paper, copy it down piece by piece, then get back to Xdandroid and modify/create a new one, checking all the settings are properly set.

Have a nice trip.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slimmehenkie:
@Wind,

your right but again, it has been working with a certain set of parameters but just after a reboot without any change on APN, the phone did not want to reconnect on 3G.

Thanks for your wishes. Will get back when I return.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slimmehenkie:
@muziling,

I did update the phone with your advised release and re-started the phone again. No result. Due to low battery the phone went down and had to re-charge. When the battery was full again, turned on the phone and guess what, I had a 3G icon.

Just to be sure that it was not a lucky shot (but I was thinking it) I decided to reboot the phone again and ships.... the 3G icon did not show up again.

No change inwhatever parameter was made during the reboot session. This means that the 3G performance is intermittend and depeding on a certain condition which I do not know how to find. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xjojo:
I have a similar problem. After a fresh install, the 3G connection works exactly the first time, I boot into android. After a reboot, the 3G connection mostly does not work. I cannot figure out, which conditions have to be met, to get 3G working. Its just pure luck to me.

btw, I have a german rhodium.

I rooted my NC for the sole purpose of having kindle for android on my NC.

(and perhaps angry birds i guess :D)

Kindle works as good as everyone said it would, with just one problem.

The slider at the bottom is occluded by the notification bar, therefore unaccessible.

when i click the menu button, kindle detects the notification bar at the bottom and offsets its in-app menu to show up above the notification bar, but it doesn't seem to be true when I tap the middle of the page to bring up the slider.

Can we make the notification bar to NOT show up?

(and make it show up only when we double click the home "n" button? or something?)

or will it be possible for the kindle to offset the slider slightly higher so that it doesn't overlap the notification bar?

thanks bunch~~

Doc's Specialized Bell/SaskTel Version

Doc's Magic Rom Kitchen

I was using I believe v8 of doc's rom. I would recommend it, but I can't find it and believe the rom kitchen is it's successor, which itself looks really awesome. Generate a Rom exactly to your liking, picking everything from launcher and kernel to themes and apps.
