I don't think that Sprint Nav or Sprint TV work on custom roms.

On the second thought I thought I'd give it a try and tried installing the sprintTV apk and it installed without any problems and is running pretty smooth.

Try to install sprint tv with astro file manager or Es file explorer. For the navi issue try to open the maps app first then go back to your navi. I had the same problem and this somehow worked for me. I hope it works for you.

I am using 8105 - Android 2.1

I recently rooted my phone and it went fine (well, it was rooted).

But every 1 or 2 minutes, the capacitive buttons flash 6 or 7 times and then hide for another 2 minutes....I have had an individual who claims there are threads on XDA, but I have yet to find them on how to fix this. Any help pointing me to the right area would be greatly appreciative!

Same issue here

I have rooted with superboot and am running 2.2 - my initial image failed so I applied an image from the recovery toolkit and brought it back to life.

There seems to be some pattern to the light sequence - perhaps an awesome detector?

I'm still not sure whether it bothers me or not.

I'm running a NAND build and everything works great. The battery life is tremendous and I use my phone for everything.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bdkinney:
The phone was made for Android...why Windows Mobile ended up on ths beast is a mystery to me. Everything works and works well. It runs circles around my brother-in-law's Droid...buttery smooth. The CM builds are my favorites, but if you like Sense, the DHD builds are great too. I was goingto upgrade last fall...but with Android running that's on indefinite hold.

And if you want to use WP7...it has reached daily driver status for a lot of folks too. But comming from iPhone, you might be disappointed in the app store at this point...still early.

Cheap phone? HD2? Seriously?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] audioslim:
HD 2's are still holding value. One on contract in uk will be the same price as a desire. If you really can get obw cheap snap their hand off
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] freeridindirtbiker:
I picked my HD2 up for 49 bucks a couple months ago. They are getting cheaper.

As for problems, just a few minor ones that some people have helped me fix on this forum.

When I downloaded the NAND rom, everything went smoothly. You might possibly get the Unit code problem. Just do the solutions that people are recommending on this forum. Worked for me.

Make sure you download HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR 1.12, and then the NAND rom. Check radio version before doing this as well.

couple things Ive noticed with this rom compared to 6.5

*The G-Calibration doesnt work as well on NAND as it did on 6.5. Screen sometimes doesnt rotate when you want it too

*Swype needs some modifications to it once downloaded to your NAND rom for the rom to recognize it (at least in my case)

*The Internet issue that everyone is having problems with but is a VERY EASY FIX...(manually enter APN settings) described in another thread

*Finally the phone isn't recognized by computer once plugged in. Anyone have a solution for this that works, please let me know

*Once I got my 3G to work properly with the APN settings, GPS worked perfectly fine and havent had a issue with it that others have had

With all that comes Android though. Android software itself is amazing compared to Windows and these are minor issues that dont bother me. This Rom is very fast and superior to any other Rom in my opinion. Marketplace is great, the animation is second to none, the app and widget placement is superb. I'd definitely recommend picking this phone up and downloading the NAND Rom as you won't be dissapointed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bdkinney:
If you Mean your computer can't mount the phone as a drive, I've only seen this issue in Gingerbread Builds. The fix "more of a work around really" is to download and use the "Multi Mount SD-Card" widget.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Just a quick correction - some people have data connection issues,

not

everyone!

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] freeridindirtbiker:
With the new ROM, my phone isnt recognizable once plugged in anymore. Ive read about a couple fixes but haven't gotten it to work. This issue is kinda blurry to me since it is a different ROM and your computer software expects to be hooked up to a Windows ROM rather than android. It charges through usb connection to computer, just cant sync contacts, etc. through computer. So yes, it isnt recognizable as a drive at all other than charging if that makes sense. Its the newest NAND rom that DFT provided.

Yes, very true. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
You could try installing the Android SDK. It's a big install, but it will include the necessary drivers for connecting an Android device.

You can get it here...

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] freeridindirtbiker:
Will those official drivers work with DFT's version of NAND android ROM though? Will it recognize it??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
Strange, I primarily run gbread and I have never had this issue. Running both mdj cyanogenmod as well as hyperdroid
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I have no reason to see why not - it's just Android, like every other build. I'm not sure why you're having a problem in the first place.

Are you just trying to connect as a USB device? If so, have you set the phone to act as a USB device?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bryanbingham9:
freeridindirtbiker,

If I understand you correctly you are having problems syncing contacts with your phone now that you have flashed the DFT provided Stock Desire NAND ROM?

My question is what program are you using to try to sync with your phone? When you had windows mobile on your phone you could sync using the windows mobile device center. Now that you are running android (especially in NAND) your phone is no longer a windows mobile phone and cannot be synced through windows mobile device center. You can download HTC Sync which is the software HTC provides to sync an HTC Desire with contacts etc...

Your phone now identifies itself as an HTC Desire. You can natively use it as a usb mass storage device (flash drive), but to "sync" with it you need to install new software on your PC.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] freeridindirtbiker:
Thankyou Brian. Thats what I was I looking for. I knew you couldnt have windows software recognize an android ROM. I was wondering basically what I could do in place of that windows software which in turn is HTC Sync? Thats what I was wondering. Appreciate all your guys' help. :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hello00:
I bought myself an HD7 and I returned it back a week later. WM7 is a boring OS, no customization, nothing you can think of. Basically you are going to be stuck with the same boring theme till you get rid of it. I got myself an HD2 for $200. I'm running Android and it runs flawless. I'm pretty sure next time I'm going to be buying an Android phone with a large screen.

Basically, everything works. Camera lighting is off, sound is a too loud (at 2/30 sounds like its at 25/30). Very snappy, looks good on the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] webvan:
Pretty tempted myself especially since I just read about dual booting WP7 and Android (Froyo presumably). It's the only phone to allow that, right?

Price is still pretty high though, $480 at Amazon and eBay is a bit of a maze on finding a nice one.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] knaar00:
I use it full time for a few week now (DFT rom) and I am real happy. Everything works well, and looks great.

Got all the features working (activation, live, marketplace, GPS, Navigon, Custum ringtones, etc.). Things already said that need to be fixed are: battery leak, 3G data leak, volume, camera (no focus, green with flash).

But above all: I will NEVER go back to wm6.5 (if I don't need to). I LOVE IT ! Respect to DFT.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Silberpfeil3110:
My HD2 works with WP7 like its a native WP7-Phone.

You can fix the battery issue by installing 2.12 Radio ROM (3G slower)

And you can fix 3G Connection by installing 2.15 Radio ROM (Battery weaker)

Just as you need more, you can choose.

Volume is maybe a little bit high, but i like it. Now at least i can hear my phone when it rings ^^. You can use the Autofocus by changing in video mode, autofocus is sharpening picture, change back to photo mode and take the picture. You can get the green colour away by downloading HTC Photo Optimizer from the Market (free) and choose the option which looks best.

WP7 is great :D <3
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ericwa:
WP7 on HD2 has been a successful "try before you buy" for me. Even if it gets wanked after the next update I will probably go with a "real" HD7. The potential for this OS is awesome. I think MS (and the devs) have only scratched the surface.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
I just went to compare an HD7 with my Leo70 - and even sales people were stunned. It feels the same, it looks the same, speed is same... well, no wonder, hardware-wise, they are on par, aren´t they?

Since there is no other device comparable to the multi-OS capable HD2, I will keep that device at least for another season... means, I will be using it at least until the successors of HD7/Omnia 7 will be launched AND successful on the market. I won´t buy the first series though, as I did with HD2, to avoid the mass field test phase of HTC and Microsoft...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] godwinvandamme:

only thing that i dont really love.. is the integration of social networks and contacts in the same place...oh oops and the non ability to use the myphone service...sucks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Silberpfeil3110:
You can turn off social contacts in your phonebook by turning it off in Settings, Applications (swipe left) > Contacts ^^

And the HD2 and HD7 are actually the same, only little diiferences, but nothing that matters really... And when I'm getting enough of WP7 I can change back to another OS whenever I want :P (but I think i will stick with WP7 ^^)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Silberpfeil3110:
There are so many people that think the HD2 is 2 years old and they have to buy a new one. So many people who don't even know what they can get out of their HD2. That's your chance. Look in eBay or other sites where people can sell their used phones. I also bought a used HD2 1 month before for 180€ and that price is more than fair :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] webvan:
Yes that's a good price, hope I'll find one for that price too! Will check eBay...

Good idea, are there any 3G bandwidth issues with the HD2 though, T-Mobile means 1700 and 2100 I think, AT&T is 850 or 1900 and Europe is 1900 or 2100.

Just three but/if ...rest is fantastic. TNX DFT!!!

My HD2 runs flawlessly on WP7 ROM since day one. I have T-Mo version with stock 16GB SD card. I am using WP7 on daily basis, running Nokia BH-900 BT earpiece, T-mo data, WiFi, play games (Ilo-Milo preferably:rolleyes:), edit docs (office), love new Internet Explorer's rendering speed and accuracy (even though flash remains to be desired), etc... Also, my device is unlocked via Chevron WP which allows easy deployment (via WP development tools) of third party apps. Some report random re-locking of their devices which is yet to happen in my particular case :cool:.

The three hiccups that bother me are in decreasing annoyance order:(:

Camera - I am heavy user of my HD2's camera capability especially it's macro mode for quick document snapshots, memo's, abstractions etc. This is where HD2 with WP7 fails big time... there is absolutely no option that would affect focus, and unfortunately phone itself does very poor job. Especially in low light and close up mode. Don't get me wrong, 720p video works great, also pictures in normal daylight. Settings are also abundant from metering modes, scenes, quality and more, but without good focus altogether fails to deliver the goods :(

Mass Storage - there's a registry hack for this, but I would rather just connect and roll (that's being lazy though:D)

Tethering - OmG, I miss WiFi router from good old WM6.5... There is a USB tether thread (and possibly an app:confused:) somewhere in HD2 WP7 section, but it just seems too tedious to set up (ooohhh, I am being lazy again:D). Let's say that WiFi router for WP7 would be the cherry :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gdog1977:
My opinion is that I love the interface and it's native apps run well, however, most third party apps run like crap and loading anything is very slowwww. I haven't used an official wp7 phone so I don't know if it's the os or our port. Either way, it was fun to play around with, and unfortunately I am going back to android.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
aye, what he said!

not going to go through all that because what he said is spot on, one minor difference for myself is battery support is a bit shoddy, if you dont pay attention you may think your battery is charged when its only half full, which makes it appear it has shocking battery usage. theres a wee reg tweek that can help or simply unplug and replug in again

but yes, Im really liking it, why twiddle and tweak when it just works as it is, although having an easy option to fiddle would be a nice addition perhaps some kind of admin mode that general joe blogs wont find.
