Similar not superior.

Maybe I shouldn't have said build quality. I know that the buttons are a weak point. It's the look and feel of the HD2 that I like so much. Some might say it's way too heavy but the weight is one of the reasons that makes the HD2 feel soild and reliable. Many of the phones I had in my hands just feel cheap and most of those also look that way.

The size of the bezel may have technical reasons but the HD2 and many of the Motorola phones show, that it is possible to solve that problem or at least minimize it.

My dream is a phone with no bezel at all. We could have a 4.7" screen in a phone the size of our HD2.

Until then I don't understand why HTC made the HD2 the way it is and then startet to go back to larger bezels in phones with hardly any difference in the technical specs.

The HD2 is one of the smallest phones with a 4.3" display. They should go forward with their development not backward.

There just is no innvoation in the products they have in the pipeline.

Sorry, can't help you with gps. I'm still using an old build. About 2 months old.

I only update when there are important changes in the build. And when the build I'm currently using is working perfectly for me, those changes have to be very important.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Animefan:
wtf is a bezel? :$
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Opps... I thanked you by mistake for that question. Maybe one day, I'll be able to post a thanks to you for something more substantial... but just so you know;

A Bezel is round bread with a hole in the middle, that you typically smear with cream cheese, and load up with whitefish or nova scotia or smoked salmon and maybe some purple onion slices. It's a great sandwich. No wait... that's a bagel.

The bezel is the rim around the lcd display. If you wear a watch the bezel is the rim around the glass (sapphire or plastic) display. Your typical television usually has a bezel surrounding the viewing surface.

Personally, I think you knew the answer the whole time. Maybe it was a trick question. :D

I'm going to have to correct you here. Since I've installed this ROM, I can't get Sygic Aura (GPS Navigation) to work anymore. It just keeps crashing a few seconds into startup.

I'm hoping for a build that runs a bit more stable so this app works well too.

If anyone knows a fix - please do tell! ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bazzz66:
Thats strange, no problems here with the Sygic Aura, runs fine.

[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Woops, didn't mean to thank you for that post, meant to hit reply, oh well... When you lost sound were you using BlueTooth, and actively paired.

I find that when I am paired to my cordless phone in my house, and I try to make a call from the phone, it seems to want to route the call through my cordless phone, but if I don't have it on, I just end up loosing sound, and am forced to reboot to get it back. If I make a call with the cordless phone, connected to BT, it works fine, and sound stays. If I walk out of range form the cordless phone, I don't looks sound, and if I turn off BT prior to trying a call I don't loose sound. Odd issue for me really...
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
It's probably not build stability. I don't have that navigation app (I use iGo which works fine), but other people's replies suggest that it's OK.

Some details on how you updated might be helpful. For example, if you just kept a copy of a data.img from an older build and copied it into a folder with the new build if might not have everything from the old install. Some apps store data they need in the /Android/Data folder so you'd need to take that over as well. When I update, I make a copy of the entire Android folder (including all subfolders) and overwrite that with the files from the new build.

So, can you tell us how you installed/updated yours? Maybe then we can figure out what is wrong.

No, I never use BT.

I do remember accidentally switching on BT but I can't remember if that was before or after I lost sound. I will try and see if switching BT ON/OFF makes a difference.

About the stability part.

I'm still running a older version: 07-27

I had some stability issues. Might also be Sygic 11.x but sometimes the phone locks when i try to resume Sygic from background.

i also have slowdowns with the music player. the phone becomes quite unresponsive. And i have had some random reboots. (this in two months of testing)

I did not update yet because i wanted to wait untill the next big build. So i'm waiting for kernel.org to come back online.

I guess Cope And Warren have bin working on something in this time. Maybe its already done for weeks but they cant release it because of the hack.

Good to hear. So it might be 2-3 weeks before all def's can access it :) The end is near!

i want to overclock my phone. i ve used several apps but with no luck!!!

max possible is the default 998mhz. is this a limitation of this build or i m doing something wrong.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
U can oc ..... use setcpu
[HD2 Android SD Development] konstantin1286:
i ve tried with setcpu but 998mhz is the max and iwant more... am i doind something wrong?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Well, when a developer of the build tells you it is possible to oc with setcpu and you can't make it work it is very likely that you are doing something wrong.

Maybe you give us some information about your setup, which build you are running and what you've tried and we can help you.

We can hardly tell you what you've been doing wrong if you don't tell us what you've been doing in the first place.
[HD2 Android SD Development] murraydeath:
I having an issue within the last two weeks where my data freezes and completely locks up. I've tried switching to airplane mode and back...doesn't seem to help. Its just the data connection.

I tried a fresh install and it works five for belittled while about a day, then its back again.

I've booted up winmo and it works fine for hours. Anyone else getting this issue?

I also can't seem to send mms consistently even when I have data. Works fine all morning then poop...

I've looked thru the forum as much a my internet allows...but its frustrating loading one page every 20 mins.

Thanks...
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
SetCPU works fine here set to interactive with 1190 max on AmeriCanAndroid 8-28-11. Maybe you just need to run through its auto detection setup again and move the cpu speed bars to your preferences. Also, make sure Superuser is set to allow SetCPU.

Many thanks AmeriCanAndroid Team for sharing your excellent HD2 Android work.

overclock

i didn't notice that it was warren that answered my question... respect and many thnx for your wonderful build... i use an early april build and after i install setcpu (or cpu tuner or system tuner pro) all i can do is set the speed between 245-998mhz. so no overclocking 4 me.

(p.s. since warren is around i want to ask (sorry for reposting this but never got an answer) if there are any news considering usb host capability on android?)

I'm having a problem playing music on my phone. It's like everytime I play music my phone lags and the music gets all choppy and what not and it's starting to become a major issue. My phone is fine when I'm doing other things but once I play Music it starts lagging it's even doing this when I'm playing youtube videos that's just music playing. Any help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Are you underclocking your CPU? Or, maybe using the wrong Governor? Suggest using SetCPU, without limiting your clock too much and using the Ondemand or even better Interactive Governor - so the CPU will be most responsive.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kasprzak:
I have another problem. When somebody is calling I can hear myself (something like echo). I'll have to disconnect, and then make the call again or wait for that my caller will call again.

Do You have the same problem, because my cousin on SEX10 have the same issue. Maybe it's system problem.

Of course I can put on SD card fresh AmerCanAndroid, but I think it's not a solution.

[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
If you are using Setcpu, change the minimum cpu speed to 245 instead of 128, and see if it helps
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:

I agree on most. Battery Life is also 95% for me. HD2 just has a sucky battery of only 1230 mAh that does not help :)

No one else has a very high in call volume problem? The volume down slider cannot make the volume to zero and there is a bar there always.
[HD2 Android SD Development] stim141:
No, I too have the high (extreme) call volume not so much with the earpiece but with a wired headset and the speakerphone. The volume is so high I fear either ear damage with the headset and damage to the internal speaker which can get distorted. Initially - going back many months the volume was too low but now its excessive.

I tried doing a search and messed around with DSP, attenuation all to no avail.

RE: Market Crash

Hmmm...so after you clear Market data you still have crashes?...what's your LCD density setup? try setting the LCD setup to 240...see if that helps you out.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
This is a known issue. Before the HD2 suffered from low tinny audio for all sounds and then a hack was introduced to fix that. Then an update was made later that included a "fix" of some sort for the audio overall. But I can attest that only with a wired earpiece is the lowest volume way too loud. I only appreciate it when I'm on the train or the subway when its above ground. But its known and they may or may not be working on it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
I'm gonna put the libaudio stuff to fix that in.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Angelusz:
Thanks, but I'm starting to think the problem is related to this unit (HD2).

I've tried two seperate Sygic builds, both crashed a few seconds into starting. No other applications have crashed, aside from a random android crash, no more than once a week.

I'm using a clean data file with the newest ROM. I'm going to try and use another radio; see if that helps.

I'm just hoping I can get this thing to work properly for once; perhaps a combination of my own efforts and a new ROM, will work. ;)

If the phone was owned by the seller an on contract with TMO, TMO will give him the unlock code for free.

As for these gremlin issues people are reporting, I am clueless. I tested wifi today, despite screen turning off, never lost connection.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Just an FYI, app stability/compatibility is NOT JUST A ROM THING. It could be a GINGERBREAD THING. With that said, I am unable to experience any of these force closing situations. But, to make sure I will install this latest build which seems to have the DSP fix in place. Actually, I think I will just run the terminal fix and see if that works.

[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
sigh. ^^ instead of putting your efforts into things like this ^^

why arn't you all being my voice of reason warning me that I've just made another stupid decision?

yes. again.

hd2 #1. european variant. copenhagen foolishly orders a european variant of the hd2 thinking it will fully work on rogers network in canada. which it does... almost... minus 3g (different 3g frequency)

okay.. i can live with this... dumb mistake #1. 2g only... weak but I can handle it.

hd2 #2. um FTWWTFFTWWTFFTWWTFFTWWTFFTWWTF. copenhagen takes all his donations and thinking okay.. now I've earned this, I worked for it, its been almost 2 years with 2g only, lets get the RIGHT hd2 for canada. (after having spent countless hours the FIRST time figuring out that only the AU hd2 from telstra is going to work in canada on rogers); almost two years later, copenhagen foolishly "fawking" orders a TMo hd2 thinking okay.. this one is not EU its from NorthAmerica.. it will work. I even purchased a sim unlock code to unlock it ....

well...

no.

congrats moron copenhagen. you now have 2x hd2's. and neither one allows 3g in canada.

(I even told a fellow rogers user that their current tmo hd2 would allow 3g here a while back on the forum, i'm sorry..I was wrong.. wtf is up with me?)

:-(

I just want working 3g. so.. your fights are insignificant at this time.. more importantly.... why did I do this again????
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
with data disabled..you are fine to stay right where you are :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
so it won't work? Can you please share why Tmo won't work? Remember our discussion?

I know that Fido/Rogers told me it won't work on their network, however, Tmo has the proper frequency. Why won't it work?

PS: sell your EU HD2 and keep your TMO. Tmo has 128mb more RAM and Double the ROM
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
for sure

what you need to do is track down the correct android data settings for your mobile provider. ie:google -> "at&t android data settings" or ie:"rogers 3g data dns servers"

specifically you are going to look for their DNS servers. there should be 2 of them. there may be conflicting information floating around the net about which servers to use.... use your deductive reasoning to find the 2 most up to date and common ones available.

once you have obtained the correct server ips for said dns servers,

open /system/build.prop (edit as text) via root explorer or estongs file explorer in root mode so you can directly edit the build prop.

scroll to the bottom of the file and you will see the default google DNS entries that we set. Change these to the dns entries your provider has given you.

and reboot.

then.. you should have working 3g (as long as you arent a moron like copenhagen and are holding a phone that PHYSICALLY CANNOT use the 3g service that is available .... x2.. sigh)

hope this helps.

tmo specifications

http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_hd2-3228.php

note 3g frequencies shown at the top. (3G Network	HSDPA 1700 / 2100)

now check this out. its kind of hard to follow but you will understand after looking at it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands

look at the row where you see rogers. Notice the frequency towards the left side of the row?

1900. 1900 is neither 1700 OR 2100.

then look @ the line that WIND mobile is on.....

yeah.. thats where this tMo hd2 belongs. 1700

the ONLY good news about this.. is that when SHAW launches their cell phone service, it will operate on the wind/eu/tmo frequencies, but that is not until early to mid 2012. I dont think I can wait that long .... omg over another year with no 3G?

thursdays=burger thursdays. (our own type of fat lolol)

its really easy to get others on board with you.. at lunch holler out "hey.. it's burger thursday.. you commin?" people jump at that.. offer to drive :)

then from now on.. every thursday try to hit up a different place to eat a burger thats the rule, you can't repeat a place until you hit up all the other places first. seriously... after a few weeks it will become a regular thing.

trust me..
