I'm thinking about installing this new one. Has anyone done it? Have any thoughts yet? I'm kind of disappointed they removed AIM from there. Nice to have that in ROM. Saves some storage memory.
Anyway, if anyone has any reports on stability, etc, let's hear it.
Also, does this one come with another radio stack?
seems ok
seems ok for now. no radio in the distribution we got (only nbf ).
from my poin of view it's wiser without aim because i can stick up more content suited to my needs.
no stability problems (though only 8 hours )

FYI
The hard reset after bootloader mode has been fixed if you want to count that, its a big plus in my book. 8)
It doesn't appear to be fixed, at least for me. Hard reset after bootlader is still exist.
I thought about upgrading to the new one, but everything's working just fine under 4.0.0.16, so maybe I'll stick with whats working for now.
Then I won't have to reinstall all my apps.

Why not just do a full backup, upgrade, and then just do a restore
Restoring from a backup after a ROM upgrade is not a good idea, because the older files will override the newer ones in-turn causing you all kinds of trouble.

Sorry to hear that mine is still holding strong with no hard setting, call me lucky I guess!
BTW anybody else not getting the hard reset after going onto the bootloader?
Hi All, i cooked up a .16 ROM in Jeff's Kitchen (thanks Jeff you are a legend).
Only 1 new problem with my device, it's the backlight....seems to turn off after the timeout even when i'm using my device.....strange. Never had this problem before.
I've also noticed that my problem with contacts not opening and having to sort reset the phone to resolve the problem is still evident. This has been with 4.00.01, .05 & now .16
Anyone got the above problems with .21????? I'm going to wait to upgrade, from what i can see the changes in the .?? releases are vendor apps etc.
Cheers
Steve
PS - i was brave and cooked up an exe install, it worked just fine.

I've had the .16 rom do that too me before also. Wonder if that's fixed in the new 4.0.0.21? Hmmm
Where can I gett xx.21. As far as I can see not through the ROM Kitchen

can you tell me what do you mean by "more" ... i've cooked up a 4.0.0.21 with some apps for myself and had no problems yet ?

The problems I've been noticing since this upgrade are slowness, the occasional freezing, and loss of signal (more so than before). I might try re-installing to see if this helps at all.

After having no problems since Friday, I noticed the same issues happening to me last night...
The backlight turning off on me while I'm using it...a soft-reset solves it.
Other apps freezing resulting in me to do a soft reset.
I never had these problems w/.16, so I'm considering switching back; however, seeing Ronin's post:
I spent about 3 hours with a Microsoft Windows Mobile developer( from Microsoft) and he explained that our suspicions on Themes and hardware and SD resets are correct.
The versions of our T-Mobile and X2 WM 2003 were provided to T-Mobile in the early part of February. The OEMs worked on their versions to incorporate their unique "features" and there is a conflict in the way WM2003 Phone edition addresses memory calls (to ROM or SD cards)and WM2003 function.
The memory calls are typically made once a Theme switch is made. Remeber themes not only change Today's screen, but all other colors in the apps. Somehow, our WM PE overrides the memory allocation on the SD cards, renaming them and causing our erasures. This will sometimes happen when we get an SMS or have a custom ring or sound profile installed or after a soft reset.
So no solution for the issue other than " the lock" button. The default theme is a good alternative, but I suspect we will still have some more erasures related to this memory addressing issue.
Furthermore, it is unlikely that T-Mobile or other OEMs will fix the issue on their own volition...They are having many challenges with stable stacks and custom builds!!!

- I might just consider going back to v3.17 w/the ATT Radio stack
strange, i started developing problems with .21 yesturday too!
first the internet kept getting disconnected, i thought it was the GPS cozin it. but then at night the backlight started acting up. even when im using the device. a note on that tho, if i play movie clips, the light stayed on! it was a 12 minute clip, it stayed on the whole time, once it was over, light turned off.
also, i notice the gprs internet is extremly slower than b4
i must say, the ONLY thing i like about 2003 is the media player, it has better video rendering, i wish they made it installble on 2002
nothin wrong with that version. heh

I'm with you on the media player AND the slow GPRS...it's r-e-a-l slow. I wasn't sure if it was worth mentioning but your account of it confirms it for me.
great!
I updated to 4.0021. T-Mobile device bought in USA. I live in Europe.
Now I have band switcher, good GPRS connection (no breaks), auto-response.
One problem: some web page said me "you cannot open this page because your browser does not use cookies. please...." blablabla
?
I see this meeasge first time, previously PIE did it (shown) ok. I checked settings of PIE, cookies are running. Any ideas?
You know what, I've just done some connection tests at www.texan.net/speed.htm and I'm currently getting the following connection rates:
81.5kbps, 104kbps, 81.6kbps
I get these readings by going to that URL, and in a 10 minute period I would run a test twice at the beginning, then twice again on the 5th minute, and two more times on the 10th minute, using the 2nd reading each time (in order to get the reading with a cleared cache).
- with these speeds (I'm used to similar readings on my other WM2k3 PPCs and connecting via Sprint's CF2031) pages come up so quick, but on my T-Mobile MDA, running WM2k3 v4.00.21, w/RS6.24, plus my new 64MB onboard RAM from PPCTechs.com and 3 bars on the meter, pages are rendering much s-l-o-w-e-r than what they should.
Going back to either 4.00.16 or even 2k2 is starting to look even better right about now.
Since I upgraded to .21 I do not receive all my calls and do not getting some SMS messages.
I'm testing it until friday and if it keeps this way i'm going back this weekend to .16 which was very very stable and I liked very much.
I feel like complaining. I don't know if this is the right place, but hopefully someone here will help me find a stable OS version and I will not ever change it again.
I have been upgrading to what looked like great version of AKU, from 2.2 to 3.0 and they all seem to have the same problems:
1. without moving anywhere, i will loose the EDGE or phone connection and won't be able to get it back until i reset the phone!
2. my phone will turn off for no reason in the middle of the night, especially of course, if i have set up the alarm for an important meeting.
3. while playing a podcast, the sound will stop for .5 sec, work fine for 3 min, and stop again...
4. when i plug it to my PC for sync it is not always recognized. again a reset helps.
I know, we are used to software not working, but a phone is a pretty critical piece...
For your info, I am currently using Molski 3.2, on my QTEK 9100, and i have not installed anything else, not even the cabs provided...
If someone has never had any problems with his Wizard, please let me know everything about your OS, i'll be happy to give it a try...
I haven't had any of those problems with my Wizard.
I would suggest taking a look at software you have installed... I bet something is causing problems with your device.
Do you have any unusual programs installed?
Heck, just list everything you've got installed...
I use the latest official ROM for the KJam from i-Mate, and it's solid as a rock.
Also tried some cooked ROM's, but went back to the official ROM very quickly.
Ok it lacks some neat features, but it does the work it's supposed to do.
Try the Superrom 1.1...
I've installed it after long time using i-mate ROM...but it's the Fastest and the best ROM i've ever used.
If you don't want the latest, but want something that is pretty much solid and stable, get T-Mobile's 2.26 ROM. Just don't install the extrom from it.
Hey I am running the stock windows mobile 6.1 from sprint because I just got a replacement but I have always noticed that when i type a message, the letters always lag and it takes about 2 seconds for the phone to finally catch up. is there any solution for this problem out there because there was for the tilt but I tried that solution and it made things worse. any help would be appreciated.
I'd like an answer to that too.
That Makes Three Of Us And I Have To Say Its Pretty Darn Annoying!
From what I can tell this is just a problem with the hardware keyboard that has no fix (to the best of my knowledge)
actually not....
its not a problem with the hardware as it doesnt do this in the old 6.0 stock rom and when you hard reset then its normal and doesnt lag till a couple days later. I just flashed KAOS mogul rom from smartphonejunkie and it doesnt really do that at all. So there is something in the software definitely
Hi,
I'm having an issue with my HD where sometimes the phone restarts on its own..it doesn't happen often but it does occur..mainly when I am listening to the radio..is anyone else experiencing this or know why this is happening so i can fix it?
Thanks
Incase it helps the only 3rd Party Softwares I have installed are
Coreplayer
Tomtom 7 with USA maps
Gyrator 2
NoData
Voice Command 1.6
SD TuneUP
My ROM and Radio are original HTC
I've had exactly the same thing happen with me, the system restarts of its own accord. Again, listening with the radio. It's happened three times so far, over a two week period.
I know it doesn't help, but at least you know you are not alone!!
My ROM and Radio are original version.
R: 1.09.225.14
D: 1.14.22273

Thanks for the reply..glad to know I'm not alone on this issue ..i do find that this issue does not occur if i have the phone charging via usb while listening to the radio
My versions are:
ROM: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
Radio: 1.09.25.14
My restarted twice and i didn't do anything....one time was lying on the table and second time was connected while charging the battery....
If i woldn't have to enter pin after reboot i wouldn't worry much - but i have to do it so this is disturbing because i once didn' see it rebooted....
I also had it twice within one week time. It also happened when I was listening to the radio.
ROM: 1.14.404.3 (22273) NLD
Radio: 1.09.25.14
I've had my HD for a week now, and mine has done it every day so far!!! I dont listen to the FM radio, so its not that causing it - it has happened when I have been web browsing, texting, putting in a contact, and even when in my pocket doing nothing.
I take it that as this thread has received so few posts that this is not a common issue and I should simply return the handset for a replacement? Maybe we all have "friday afternoon" models?
I had the same problem. My HD worked fine, and then constantly auto-restarted.
I tried everything- reflashed the ROM, took all the programs off, hard-resetted. Nothing worked.
...Then I changed the battery, and the problem disappeared for a couple of weeks, but it's returned today!
For my few pence worth, it's something to do with the battery, or at least the way the battery talks to the device. Not an expert and no idea!
Had a similar problem where it just rebooted for no reason. Was like this for around 3 - 4 weeks and then completely died. Sent back to HTC for repair and had it returned with a new main board. After 2 hours of use it died again. Sent it back a second time, had another new main board, the FPC connector was re-seated and now all is ok so far. Just hope you guys are not going down my route.
Never had that happen to me. Sounds like a hardware issue.
...Interestingly (and I've read this somewhere before), I've tried switching my network from Auto to GSM, and I have had no more issues.
I travel across the country- a lot on trains, and I suspect one of the things triggering the failure is switching between bands.
I have also heard that it may not have anything to do with the handset, and is SIM related. I don't know enough to comment on that.
I had the same problem when i was listening to the radio. I thin i have found a way to go around the radio-problem. I installed powerradio and my phone haven't restarted all day. Hope i helps

my htc hd auto restart at the window 6.1 green screen
what could go wrong?
it was OK in the past....
i try to swap battery with other HD, same problem
I hard reset ,same problem, keep auto restart at green window screen
i use boot loader flash to new ROM, 6.1 still have the same auto restart problem
i have to believe hardware failure, where could go wrong?
i suspect reset button stuck, ...before the green screen appear, i presss restart button, no response. Strange.. because my other set HTC HD reset button response before green window screen
I've had the same problem a number of times. It seems to depend on the Rom. I just tried Laurentius's final Blackstone Rom and it would happen 4 -5 times a day. Dutty's Leo 9 Rom does it too but his R2 seems stable. Am going to try out the Dusk-More Rom now
Yep I am having a similar problem though has nothing to do with the radio. I have posted a thread on it also "HD Touch On/Off Problem".
Happens usually once or twice after taking it off charge for the night and then it's fine for the rest of the day.
I had something like that with mine, the problem was the battery, I switched with a new genuine battery and until now i did't had more problems, but it was in my case....
Flashing stock rom solves hard reset issue
Flashed a stock Rom 1 week ago before flashing a cooked rom again. It's been a week and it seems to have solved the problem.....touch wood.
If anyone else tries this, post a message to let others know if it works.
Hopefully, I won't be posting here again
i had the same problem.
i reflashed original spl,rom,radio then i put again the custom stuff, and the problem has gone!
now its 1 month without problems
Youtube freezes on HD2
I can validate your frustration. I am having problems with my HD2 freezing up as well and doing a soft reset on it's own. So the YouTube app opens up the HTC player and then it will play a few seconds and then freeze up. I also opened an MP4 movie file and view it with the HTC player and that also froze it. Last but not least, I have TomTom and that froze it after 15 minutes last night.
I have seen some postings that Tmobile and HTC will be releasing a new rom to fix some memory leaking issues so perhaps that might be it.
It started happening about a week ago for me. Please post any solutions you might find.
I am on:
OS v.5.2.21889
Mania v.2.5.20121412.1
ROM v.2.10.531.1 WWE
Radio v. 2.08.50.08.2
I have the same problem, but not related to fm radio.
It just happens...
It also happens when the phone is trying to start. It restarts, a few times when it shows "smart mobility" just before the radio, rom and other information at the right bottom.
I only rolled back to the official rom and radio, many hard resets, but it still happens..
I'll try to specify under what conditions it's happening, and will post again..
...I do not know what to do...
Hi everybody, I have the same problem on my HD.
It's restart on its own and some times if it's turned off then it turns on by its own
I've tried the following test without solve the problem :
- several hard reset
- with and without SIM
- with and without memory card
- with another battery (new)
- upgrade with original firmware
I add that the problem appeared suddenly
Unfortunately it's no longer under warranty then I would like to know if there's a solution different from send it to HTC.
Thanks to all.
I use RSS Hub quite a lot or at least i did on my touch pro but since getting my HD2 i find it constantly freezes and i have to reset the phone. Now it used to freeze on my touch pro occasionally but only for a few seconds but never to the point of it permanently freezing.
I've tried a couple of different ROMs all 6.5.x not 6.5 so this could be causing the problem but I'm sure it even happened on the stock o2 ROM my phone came with. Just wondered if anyone else is having the same problem and whether they've fixed it

I have the same problem. Don't know a solution yet for this annoying problem. But I keep on searching. BTW. if RSS Hub freezes you can kill it with the standard built in WM task manager.

Hi guys,
I have the same problems, did you find a solution ?
Mine does it every now and then, I find its not really freezing as much as lagging out for a few moments to a minute. Annoying.
same here with i think the latest 2.1.2.1109 Version... is there already a solution?
Nope i have the same issue to and this happens to other cooked ROMS too. So its the application i guess. I see this a lot when the phone looses its connection to the internet.
All as above. It seems to happen if it is trying to download a picture while viewing and you go back to the headlines screen. I just try to let pics load before going back... no solution though. Kill with WM task manager.
Same problem here... no matter what version i try
