i also found 2.12 better for battery life. although 2.14 seemed ot have slightly better data/voice quality.

The battery life wins out though :)

Sometimes I charge it to full capicity and get the green led light. Unplug and moments later battery icon jumps to 75% full. Restart phone and its back to 100%. I do think it can be erratic at times but is definately an OS thing and not a Radio thing. Had the same plroblem with other radios.

Where is the Radio info?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] quentin.0160:
Sorry,

Another choice to see info.

Go to flash another radio.In the flash menu you can see update from ..... to ...... radio.then cancel.thats the only way to see it.

Some custom winmob roms shows at boot infos about radio.But otherways theres no chance to see radio info on hd2.Or you flash winmob and then you go to settings menu,system.:D

Hope they will fix this in a next radio release.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] shreedharcva:
Well Guys,

Make sure that If You want to flash WP7 on your HD2, you need 2.15 Radio for better performance and no reboots.

2.12 is not supported by Magldr even, when I installed Magldr over 2.12 radio, it didnt boot at all, it was stuck at splashscreen.

I had to reflash the 2.15 radio again for flashing WP7.

I have the latest version of the Windows Phone DFT ROM v1.22. And I have tried to flash 2.12 radio using the CustomRUU.exe. Apparently gave success. But how do I know if I have the 2.12 radio version?

If you go to Settings -> About -> Radio Version does not appear 2.12.

Thanks.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JCody:
I discovered a weird thing. I have a Tmo HD2 with BTTF rom and 2.12 radio. It was lasting around 16 hours with moderate use. Then all of a sudden I was getting great battery life, after 16 hours I still had around 55% charge left. When I looked closer I discovered that I had WIFI turned ON. I thought that WIFI would cause more drain on the battery. But in my case, having it on has greatly improved my battery life. Bear in mind that I have a WIFI connection at home and at work. I think that if it's spending time searching for a WIFI signal battery life might not be as good.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
on BTTF ROM, 2.12 is worst then 2.15.... battery not longer than 6 hours :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] boysha8:
Yes, even i flashed the 2.12 radio and then went to the about screen in settings and clicked on "more info". The software version shows 5.51T.. and the hardware version shows A.12.0.D4. I am using yuki mango. Has my radio updated to 2.12 or not, how do i know?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sexcellent:
i'm using 2.15 w/ BTTF Rom on TMOUS and i have to say the camera trick is working great. the thing to remember with the camera trick is to make sure you get that noise when you close out of the video camera. if you get that noise, then you should get tons more life out of your batter until you reset the phone again.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] boysha8:
Hi, i flashed the 2.12 radio and for about 10 days i had amazing battery life. Standby current was ranging between -3 and -10 (as opposed to -7 and -20) after doing all the camera tricks etc. but over the last 3-4 days my standby current keeps fluctuating in the -45 range and sometimes even goes above -100 and my battery is running out in 7-8 hours with minimal use (as opposed to 18-24 hours 5 days ago). All i must have changed was probably a couple of apps and games from the marketplace. Does that affect battery drain in any way? I am thinking that shouldn't, but just to be sure i uninstalled those apps etc, still to no avail. Any pointers?

Also, does anyone have a copy of the 2.15 radio so that i can flash it and see if i get any improvement.

thanks

[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
on this post http://wmpoweruser.com/two-windows-phone-7-updates-coming-before-mid-year/, it seems that the "january" update is coming out at either late february or march: "Just wanted to let you know that the article regarding "two updates’ for WP7 is incorrect, partially. There will be indeed two updates, but CDMA is coming as part of the first update. This is due out late Feb / Early March. The reason the update is so late is due to the CDMA support."

so it seems that this'll be coming out likely on march. sucks! The longer MS delays this update, the more their platform could potentially suffer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
Till we get an offical word from CDMA providers, it does not mean anything. Thanks for the post but, it's kind of what they have been saying for a few weeks now.

You'll see CDMA phones as well as the Copy and paste on the same day..
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Don't you mean "official word from MSFT"?

In any case, I'm happy enough to wait for copy and paste or any other functional updates. I'm not too happy about having to continually wait for bugfixes though, they need to start getting these out as and when they're fixed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I wonder what's so difficult and time-consuming to implement CDMA support on a platform ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I have scratched my head raw over that and other things MS is doing...erm...not doing...with WP7. I have the idea they are kind of gun shy. They have the best mobile OS skeleton ever created and are terrified they may screw it up some minor way. So they are tippy-toeing as though walking on eggs with WP7 integration.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Patience running thin

This is a big mistake on the part of MS. Waiting for CDMA???? They have an obligation to their early adopters before supporting CDMA, IMHO. The issues with SD cards on Samsung Focus devices is no trivial issue and waiting 2 months to solve this is unacceptable. They need to get their heads on straight and start presenting a logical and believable issues and features update path to the market. They may be the 300 pound gorilla in the room, but there are a whole bunch of other gorillas who have been in this room for much longer. This is absurd and nonsensical.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
OMG WE HAVE TO WAIT A MONTH LONGER FOR SUPPORT ON CDMA (which quite frankly sucks) and copy and paste (which I'm sure very few will use) on our OS that is just as close as any other to perfect? man that sucks, I dont know what I'll do... oh wait, I'll go play some original xbox live titles and use my zunepass while watching netflix all seamlessly. Duh! I understand that the verizon people are upset and whatever but I mean CDMA shouldve been dead long ago anyway...
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
I agree with most of that, and I don't think anyone is really saying they suck for taking their time getting CDMA support. Heck, I don't even think most people are that bothered about Cut'n'Paste (or any other added functionality) takes a little longer. What I, and reading comments on other websites - most people - have a problem with is their unwillingness to supply hotfixes as and when they have been patched and tested.

I hate bringing up the camera, yet again, but they touted the dedicated camera button as a killer feature - and for me, it is, I tend to use the camera lots - but having the camera settings revert to sucky mode every time means the whole feature is dead. By the time you've fiddled around in the settings to get a good photo, the moment has passed and that great photo you were gonna take turns into a blurfest of someone's back. Not delivering a fix for this by now is outrageous. Being told there will be no update (and by update I really mean bugfixes) until March is even worse. Being told we have to wait until March when their publically available information first stated January is friggin unforgiveable if you ask me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
What I do is set my HD7 aside, for a time in the future when WP7 will be actually real and useful, and grab hold of my Android phone and use all the needed and desired features WP7 doesn't offer and be happy. Pictures are a breeze to take...with anything other than my HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:

[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Earned

I have been the staunchest defender of WP7 and MS, and I will continue to be but this type of inaction in the face of real issues (I don't give a rats rear end about C&P) makes it very tough. My own feeling is that this tortoiselike approach is going to earn MS few friends in the market. This is not the Windows desktop market. Although I have to say, having auto update set on my Windows XP, I get regular hot fixes sent automatically to my laptop. Shouldn't we expect the same or better in this face paced market?

Look, if some of these issues are allowed to fester for 2 more months, MS has earned all of the negative feedback they have asked for. This is a new OS for goodness sake, you want to put your best foot forward especially in a market served by vendors who have mature or maturing competitive products. If you can't, you want to appear to be as responsive as you can so missing features and real problems become non-issues. In other words, who cares, MS will fix it immediately.

This is unacceptable and anyone looking at this objectively must feel the same.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Agreed

There is no excuse for this and other issues. AT&T and Samsung sell SDHC cards as accessories for the Samsung Focus. There are serious issues with these cards and several threads in these forums address those. No Flash support is a real issue. Many sites I visit regularly I can no longer view animations, something I could do with WM 6.5.X custom ROMs. Come on now, if the chefs customizing for WM 6.5.x can provide this, why can't MS? I am not going to go on. These are ussues and not missing features. How real is multi-tasking, who knows. How real are the three issues I mentioned above - very real!!! I went to the noaa.gov site to look at animated radar maps, no go. I tried to buy my daughter an ecard from Hallmark and tried to view the cards before buying - no go. This is rediculous. I am waiting for the telltale signs of sdhc card problems to begin popping up as I add more data. What kind of experience is this, MS. You want my vote on this and your sincerity in fixing these issues? I don't think so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
Flash is Adobe product, nothing Microsoft can do to speed up the flash player development from Adobe (which outsourced all its devs to India).
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
actually this isn't entirely true. whilst adobe flash is not microsoft's product as stated, it is up to MS on how the implementation is done. and MS has acknowledged that they are working closely with adobe to implement flash into windows phone without breaking it's integrity or hindering performance. hence for the august/september release of it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Audio:
You do that... and remember to let us know in a few months when you've finished customising and hacking it so you can actually do something useful on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
This is worrying. Looks like they were really really unready when releasing WP7.

This delay - if true - is really annoying.

Because some things on WP7 are idiotic and should be improved ASAP.

Camera not remembering settings is a joke. But I also think c&p should be here earlier.

But what is also worrying is how late will be the next update? When most of the countries will be supported? What about Bing?

Because all of the rumour I read is c&p. OK we need it.

But in fact looking as a whole, in most countries WP7 is still a cripppled product. I have no native letters in keyboard, no language support, can't buy Marketplace stuff etc.

Basically it is ridiculous. I see nowhere any sign of change.

With all the sympathy I don't imagine waiting a year or more for that, and considering amount of work which has to be done by MS... Looks like a bad JOKE.

I start to think that the first update will be decisive factor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Call me weird, but I love the fact that camera resets itself to default settings, it's the best way to make quick shots and be sure the result will be more or less decent.

As regards update delay, you never know what's happening. They may have found a bug in their update system or whatever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Just so you guys know, MS is now promoting the behaviour of the camera not saving settings as a FEATURE, clearly listed in their how-to on pictures; http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/pictures/take-a-picture-or-record-a-video.aspx. So I wouldnt necessarily expect a fix anytime soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Thanks that was really helpful

Joking aside, I actually like the way all my settings pop back to the defaults each time I take a new round of photos. I use the default settings 99% of the time and get pretty good results. If I set the camera for, I dunno, sepia, for one session, the last thing I want is to then quickly take an important pic later on, only for it to come out bloody sepia again, just because my last shoot was sepia.

The default settings are fine for those quick point-n-shoot moments, the moments where the dedicated camera button really helps capture the shot before its gone.

I for one think Microsoft should leave things as they are.
[Windows Phone 7 General] uristic:
and Ballmer would use his favorite phrase: " it's not a bug, it's a feature!" xD... like who cares if nobody like it... =P Anyway the default mode is the best for many different conditions but it should have at least "save" option or avutosave and one button "default". o.O
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
What you have to remember is that the whole ethos of the WP7 camera is very much geared towards "Point. Shoot." i.e. taking the photo in as short a time as possible and with the minimum number of key presses.

The only way to do this and have the best chance of capturing that photo with decent quality is to have the camera always start up in a particular mode, and the factory default settings provide that mode well enough.

That way you know what the settings are and that they'll always be the same whenever you pull your phone out of your pocket and hold down that camera button.

It makes perfect sense to me. I don't see why anyone would want to have a specific scene type, effect, lower resolution, metering mode or anything but auto-flicker-adjustment in effect when the need arises to take a photo quickly.

Let's face it, although when I use my digital camera I usually stick it into Full Manual mode and set the ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture, Focus, Metering etc by hand, if I'm in a situation where I need to capture a pic quickly I don't hesistate to switch to FULL AUTO to get the shot. On my camera, FULL AUTO doesn't save any settings between sessions.

I really don't see what all the fuss is about. Storm in a teacup.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sammy_user:
It's easy for them to add a new option: keep settings on exit, or reset settings. Then everyone is happy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I'm intrigued to find out which setting(s) you want to keep between shooting sessions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strutten:
I set anti-shaking to on every time I want to take a photo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
I thought Microsoft would release even minor updates through their "windows phone updater" or something like that. I mean.. isn't it meant to delivery faster updates to users? Unlike Android?!

And now, why don't release C&P update (within bug fixes) right now? Or at least, some bug fixes without C&P?

Ah, I really don't understand.

They are the latest OS to come, and they are not even worried about gaining market share? Or they expect so without some updates, corrections, or showing some work to users?

Meh!
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
The camera resetting itself is definitely a feature, and a well thought out one. As I keep saying, this phone is geared to the general population, which probably will touch those settings once, maybe twice in a situation their entire lifetime, and otherwise take a picture in default mode... So really, if you change the effect on the camera for one shot, put it away, and take it back out to find that same effect still enabled, most of you would complain about that... Saying that the camera should default to the "natural" view for you.

There is honestly no winning with the majority of you. I do, however, think that the video resolution should come 720p as a default. That's the only setting I think should be saved in both camera and camcorder modes, the resolution.

Other features, such as C&P, are being made out to be much more 'deal breaking' than they need to be. Honestly, I use my phone every minute, of every day... I'm 23, a college student, and a mobile addict. Yet, I've found myself in only about three situations where I've needed the feature and have found it missing. The OS already does a great job of not requiring it... Such as being able to click addresses, or numbers, or information... Though, I surely welcome the feature for those few situations.

I would like to see hotfixes pushed out for other issues, such as the wireless settings page, or bluetooth additions, or the speed increases. There are bugs here and there that need to be squashed, but really, think about how rich the experience is. Yes, Android and iOS provide more features, yes they're more mature, but WP7 is three months old in the US (sorry world, I exclude you from timelines). Microsoft did put out its first 'smartphone' in 2001, correct... But this is redesigned, and rewritten, this isn't Windows Mobile.

While I agree with most of you, I think you're basis and expectations are directed in the wrong way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Erm, there isn't an anti-shake setting. At least, not on my HD7 there isn't. Which must mean anti-shake isn't a standard WP7 feature.
