Since I installed pdaimatejam wp7.8 rom on my hd2 I really love it, but the problem is the battery drains quickly, and whenever i charge it, it seems it has a problem with the battery measuring indicator.. is there a way that i could prolong the battery life or any tweaks or techniques to do it..please help me

hello,

i can't use this rom because at every boot it erases all saved settings. I have a new sd card just bought it seems it works because i have 3.14 GB of space left in 'about' section of the phone.

every time i boot, it'ss the first boot, i cannot save settings, language or anything.. is this a known issue? how can i solve?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
definitely problem is in SDcard because SDcard is main memory and if not save settings, problem is memory (SDcard)... try make hard reset (settings - about - reset my phone)... if problem not solved, change SDcard...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] alexxio:
ok i solved doing all the procedure again .

this firmware is very fine! thank you! this phone has reborn!

:)

i have just one issue. Google contacts. I didn't find anything interesting on the internet, but all tutorials point to using an exchange account, but google has deactivated it.

i tried apre very possible configuration but i still can't have google contacts on the htc hd2.

do you have and idea how to sync real time google contacts on the wp7?

Help! Anyone please. I'm stuck rebooting.

I've noticed that the internet sharing wouldn't work properly with my WP8, sharing only worked with Skype on WP8, nothing else did...

So I tried to install the internet sharing cab fix (I thought I had 2.20)...and it seemingly worked, downloaded and installed some updates, and then it went into a reboot...but it couldn't reboot properly, it was stuck rebooting, until I unplugged.

If it's not connected via usb it will just get stuck on a screen showing me to connect it back to the computer, when it restarts once again, and keeps restarting.

Is there a way to restore it back to a previous, because I would like to use the data on my HD2's custom WP7 partition once again please, which I'm guessing I won't be able if I reflash?

TIA

P.S.

If there's no way to revert to backup, is there at least some tool I could use to read and get some of the files from the SD card's WP7 partition back, please?

P.P.S.

Strange. It works. Out of nowhere. After having unplugged the USB, resetting many times, rebooting...

I'll be making a backup, with this tool, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1306415

Hopefully that's the one enough if I get same problems again?!? Internet sharing with WP8 fails, just Skype working somehow, and no http?

Put volume in the Bluetooth headset to 0 (in conversation). I had same problem but now is OK. Also not all BT headset has this problem. I'm using only Plantronics, but in the car I have'nt any problems.

If the sound is weak - use the volume key on the headset.

SD card performance?

Sorry for the noob question, what is considered a "good performing card"?

I have a 16GB SanDisk MicroSD HC (please see attached) is that acceptable or should I get something better?

Can someone explain what effect the SD card speed will have? It makes the installation slower/faster, it makes WP run slower/faster, both, what?

Thank you so very much!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
sdcard is phone (WP) memory and if not compatible with WP7 can cause problem as slow work, bugs, crashes.... almost 95% problems in WP7 cause bad SDcard...

is lottery to find good card... sometimes with one version of ROM card work fine with other not...

you can try install app WP Bench from Marketplace and test speed of storage memory to see how many fast is... ideal speed is 5-8 MB/s
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
Thanks, dxdy for the info. While 5-8MB/s is not anything that impressive for a PC I guess, it should be enough for a phone? I do not know, really, but I'll keep looking and post back if I find something more conclusive. I'll try to find WP Bench and test the card on another phone. Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
5-8 MB is excellent for WP7 phone

for example, Samsung Omnia7 have benchmark results around 5 MB/s

on my HD2 with Sandisk 32gb class 4 i had around 8 MB/s
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
--

Well, so I finally went ahead and used that SanDisk (Class2) 16GB.

Now, I have windows phone 7.8 on my HD2, pretty cool, runs smooth, is very responsive. I guess the card is OK.

However, I have not activated yet, not 100% sure how to do it, so I can't use Marketplace to download WP Bench and test the card.

By the way, what is the best/recommended way to activate the phone? I read somewhere that someone is working on an application that will produce codes, kina like a keygen, how possible is that and how safe? If I call Microsoft, is the rep going to give me a hard time, what if they figure out what I'm trying to do and ...blacklist me. I do not get it, I am not doing anything wrong! I own this HD2, I did not steal it, I purchased it with my hard earned money, from my work, so I can do whatever I please with it right? Why MS should worry about me putting windows 7.8 (which is already outdated) on MY OWN phone. I mean if it works and I'm pleased with its performance why the heck MS cares about that?

anyway ... now that I have a working windows phone is there another way to benchmark the SD card? (until I figure out the activation, thingy).

Thanks for your patience with all my noob questions! (lol).:o

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Spaqin:
Hey guys,

I broke an old WP7 ROM I had on my phone for quite a while and with Android needing a cleaning I thought I'd flash this thing and then reinstall NativeSD Android.

Well, the problem is, I need to repartition the SD card after installing WP7 and I'm not sure how to do that without old DEV_STORAGEPART_XG cabs which are currently unavailable. Could any of you please help me?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
Try old tutorials, eg http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913815
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Spaqin:
Thanks, I was looking for guides but I always found those with 2 cards necessary, this one is perfect.

Funny thing - after repartitioning it with one card method (since I'm totally out of 3.46GB cards), on the setup screen I chose Polish, it restarted and a corrupted SD card screen came out. Hard reset, did not change the language, works well, I go in settings, change it to Polish, restart, does not work. One more time. Did the hard reset, went with English (US), later in settings changed to English (UK), works, changed to Russian, works, changed to Polish, and finally it works as well. I have no idea what happened or what is going on, but I'm glad it works. Now back to installing Android...

Wait, it came back to original size. I'm not sure what to do now ;_;

I tried modifying the registry as the CABs do - I had a DEV_STORAGEPART_5G cab lying around and I peeked in it... and it did not work. Do you maybe have a 11G or something around it cab? I could make the WP7 partition bigger than a half of the card, but I don't really want that and I'd probably just stay on WP7 anyway.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
10Gb OK?

also have 8, 7 and 1
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Spaqin:
10GB is definitely closer to 11GB than 5GB, but I'm wondering what can I do. I'll try some tinkering with the cab, because installing the cab -> editing registry to suit me better -> hard reset... well, it gave me 10GB instead of 11, so it must be something more than just the registry.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
is no rules about speed on WP and HD2 device... higher class card not give higher speed... all depend how WP recognize and support card... you dont know how card working until you try it.... every recommend is ungrateful because i cant predict how sdcard work in your HD2... maybe some card worked for me OK but is very less opportunity you find exact card... only one i can say: for high capacity cards (16-32gb) better is lower class 2-4

Problem with empty battery, HD2 will not boot!?

My HD2 run completely out of battery and now it won't start even when on external power, it's going in a loop starting up to the windows phone logo then restarts, again and again the same cycle. How do I recover from that? Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
plug your phone in to charger while holding end-call button and let it sit on magldr menu for a few minutes. It will charge enough to boot. Check your battery pins are not bent and contacts are clean too.

wp7 on hd2 is a battery eater i'm afraid.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
Thank you it worked, also had to straighten contact pins, all well now, thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
the left double pin should be the same as the right double pin, the middle is single.

That said, as long as they are in contact with the contacts it should be ok, may overheat otherwise. be very careful if bending them.

Can't post pic ATM but if anyone does, do not include imei number in pic :)

Edit; fuzzy pic attached but you get the idea

SDcard, bad IE shortcut, battery.

Ηi HD2Owner and thank you for this release!

I am using a Sandisk 16GB Class2 and I am experiencing random crashes and restarting. Perhaps another SDcrad class 4 this time?

One last Q hopefully unrelated with the sdcard: I installed HTC_BATTERY_TOOL.xap to see how my battery usage goes and since then, the "Internet Explorer" icon on the start screen (as well as in the app screen) has somehow changed to this URL:

http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....xap?key=xH2QhoAW2mbuupuVqvPAQQ&ts=1407308096

So basically, now, every time I (forget and) click IE I get the screen asking me to d/l this app (lol) !?! :confused:

Any ideas, why this happened and how to fix it?

Again, thank you so much for all your work! :good:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:

My apologies for having to quote my own last post, but I was hoping to get an answer to the problem I'm describing. It is not my intention to impose, just a nudge in case has a solution to fix IE and not having to download this app, again and again. Thank you and sorry to bother you. you. :o
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
delete that icon (long press and unpin), navigate to a page you like, press settings(... RH corner) and pin to start. Or delete that page from your favourites list in settings.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
Nice but certainly NOT a reliable solution, yet!

Thanks for your reply, I am not sure we are talking about the same thing.

The internet explorer on my main screen instead of taking me to IE, tries to d/l an app.

The same happens if I try to start IE from the application list. So basically I cannot use IE at all.

I have deleted the IE icon from start screen. Then you say "navigate to a page you like". How do I navigate, if I don't have a working IE? Even more what "page" am I looking for into my favorites and how do I access my favorites if I can't go into IE?

Without being an expert the fact that the IE shortcut has been changed leads me to believe that it can be changed from the registry. But I do not know where to look, and even though there IS an application included on this ROM especially for that (e.g. WP Root Tools), the search function of the Registry Tool does not work on mine. So I can't search the Registry for the offending URL.

Anyway...

It looks something got corrupted once I started d/loading apps. After recovering (with your trick) from the totally depleted battery and tried to really start using the phone, it has been down hill from then on. I am experiencing random crashes, restarting, the lock screen refuses to unlock, sometimes it does and all I see is a green background. Battery life is max 8-9 hrs with minimal use, recently I started noticing the percentage counter being erratic, I mean I charge fully 'till I see the green LED then unplug and the counter goes straight to 97% then if I plug it in again it will not reach 100% but basically stops at 98%. And some other issues that have really taken me by surprise, I was elated when I first installed this ROM but once I really put it to the test it just doesn't cut it. I konow this is an experimental (do it at your won risk) release but so far it has been so problematic, sorry but this is more I was prepared to deal with.

--

Thanks Robbie P for all your help, I just feel it is not fair to you to bear the brunt of my questions, I mean here I am I am giving this software a try and I am willing to test and report and basically never hear from the developer, just a few nice guys like you (mostly you).

Anyway, if any of you guys wants to really stick with me and see what we can do, I'd highly appreciate it, if not I am still grateful to all for your time so far.

(come Monday, I am calling my company's rep to see what kind of replacement deal he can give me for my broken Lumia 820. I just think the HD2 with windows 7 (or later) may be OK for testing and "playing" but it's still way too far from being a functional/reliable for everyday use phone.) :(

Just my POV, YMMV.

Nevertheless, thank you!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Eriu:
Wp7 on hd2 is pretty much stock quality. Its kind of in the history books now though - no longer developed, wp7 is really crap compared to wp8 (which is also crap)! Our mighty hd2 has finally reached senility :( it was a great ride...

Though admittedly I'm still using it :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
--

Eriu, interesting choice of the word "senility" (lol), thinking about it it fits perfectly!

Anyway, I was happy with my (now broken) Lumia 820 which was running 8.1 alas only for a couple of months. I am definitely going back to windows phone once I found out what the replacement will cost me. Just have to weigh what models are available and at what $$$.

In the mean time, being an average (not power, not gamer, etc) user I thought I'd give the HD2 (a friend loaned me) a try. You know what, while I did not know much about its legendary history but I'm not surprised at all, it's a GREAT phone the fact it's capable of running WP7.10 (admittedly with a few glitches) tells me it's a solid piece of hardware.

I have spent about two weeks with it now, and even though I am trying to fix/recover etc more time that I actually use it, I can honestly say that if there were a way to develop a flawless ROM for this phone, a lot of people would still be using it including myself! You know, not everybody wants the latest and the best, some people are OK with just a basic functionality as long it is consistent.

Actually, speaking of that I am wondering if anyone knows of a barebones WP7 rom that possibly, because of the lighter "weight" will not have the issues I encountered i.e. poor battery life, overheating, random crashes/shut-offs, some audio issues (low in-call volume etc), SDcard issues (I mean no one can really tell you what works, it's just like try this try that and see what's best, well that's not how it goes), with mine I even experienced the lock screen not unlocking about 20% of the time. I really gave it a try but it's not cutting it, I can't afford doing this during work hours.

I am thankful to the developers for all the hard work, I am not abandoning the "project" but this HD2 will spend more time at home resting on my desk from now on, until (and IF) I can get it to work as it should. If you care to send any feedback it will be very welcome and highly appreciated.

Regards! :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Eriu:
I recommend sandisk class 4 (8 or 16 gig); all those gliches you described are SD card related; you'd be surprised the difference a good SD card makes. Obviously I'm sure you keep brightness low when suitable Bluetooth WiFi off when not in use, also check what background tasks are enabled (I disable all except HTC weather).

Hd2 is a solid piece of hardware! I'm running android 4 native SD almost flawlessly:D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
LOL, we are on the same wavelength, trust me I have disabled pretty much anything that I do not absolutely need and is known for eating up battery. I have no (by no I mean zero) apps running in the background, I keep backligh low, I use a dark screen theme, I do not use BT, I do not listen to radio or play music/videos/etc. Just phone calls, texting, manual email checking, phone is always on 3G, I turn off WiFi when I do not need it. Sometimes I switch cellular off and use WiFi but only for a short amount of time, I need to receive calls for my work. I do not talk too much maybe I receive and make about 25 calls a day, but I hardly talk for more than a couple of minutes, I am trying to use voicemail as much as I can and even then I try to use the earphone. Even with this kind of usage I get 8-9 hrs tops. Recently I also noticed that the % reported by the OS is also erratic, sometimes it says 100% charged 13 hrs remaining, sometimes it says 11 hrs remaining, sometimes 9 hrs. One day I charged it to 100% it gave me 13 hours then I powered it off overnight, next morning it was at 92% reporting 9 hours of battery left. Funny eh?!

Anyway, if I find a class 4 sandisk I'll try it. (currently I have a 16GB but class 2) who knows may be I will luck out!

Thanks for the feedback!
