HD2 Data working whenever it feels like it <_< - HD2 General

Hey guys.
My HD2 sometimes show that my data is fine and working, but when i for example try to access a webpage, or anything else, where i have to use the internet nothing happens. The phone acts just like if it did not have any data. The only way i can get it to work is to go disable data, and then enable it again, but that really gets annoying when you have to do it quite often
I have the newest official rom (1.48.), and the problem exist both in that, and the standard one (1.43.). I have also applied the sim update, which also udates your radio, so it seems to me that it might be a hardware issue
Does anyone experience problems like that too? and more important does anyone have a fix
My telecompany wants me to send it to repair but if i could get it working myself i really do not want to wait 7 days for them to do it.
thought and opinions would be much appreciated

Welcome to my world.
I'm still trying to figure out the issue too. I do the whole disable/enable data trick as well. It seems to be the fastest way to get back on rather than waiting for the phone to sort itself out.
Will check out Master's link now...

well now i've sent my hd2 to reparation so now i will just have to wait and see

T-Mobile Releasing 2nd ROM Update for HD2

I was on the phone with T-Mobile Support (611), regarding my HD2 and the issues that I am still having with this device. The rep. stated that T-Mobile is aware of the issues on the phone and that the 1st ROM update did not resolve them all and caused some new ones.
She stated specifically this new update would resolve the issue of the device hanging after you try to wake up the phone...also, the "unreliable data connection" issue is still prevalent (I still have this problem - and I have tried everything I can think of or read about). She stated that there are other fixes that they are working on to resolve with this new update.
I could not get a solid time frame, but she stated that it should be pretty quick, given that they issued the first one within a short time frame after the HD2 release.
Now, I'm not sure if this means an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3, but I wouldn't count on it. I just hope it is released soon. This device is so nice and so awful at the same time. Constantly I experience little nagging issues that make using this device such a hassle.
Have you tried just flashing it to one of these custom ROMs?
No I have not yet tried the custom ROM yet on the HD2. I like the way the T-Mobile ROM are, I just am getting fed up with the "unreliable data connection" BS. Also, the phone (since the ROM update) has been running slow and I don't think that is acceptable with the 1GHz snapdragon on this device. My only other issue is that the speaker phone stops working because T-Mobile added some stupid software to the device. If you dial 611, the software pops up and tries to solve your problem via webpage and stops the speaker phone from working till you restart the device.
While that is a short list of issues, they are major issues in using the device. But I think i will wait till this 2nd update comes out...if it does not resolve my issues, custom ROM here I come!
I belive flashing NRG will solve your issues It did mine.
Which issue did it solve? The data connection issue?
Data and freezing as well not to mention the phone just flies now. flashing a new radio fixed reception issue
well I will give it a try and see if it resolves my issues as well. I figure we have about a month or so before T-mobile releases the 2nd update. I know I will not be able to last that long with these issues. It is just a pain in the a-- to flash ROMs every day...I'm not into doing it all the time. I would like to find a good stable ROM and run with it. It just takes too much time flashing and reinstalling all those programs and changing the settings to where I like them all (too much work).
Like I said it is a shame, i really like this device on paper, but in the real world is just has some serious issues. I thought i would get a year or two out of this device when i bought it, now I am already looking to swap this puppy out. I'm looking to see what is coming down the pipeline. I refuse to go with WP7 (feels like the step backwards with it limitations as compared to WM6.5 - and i don't want a device that clones the iPhone of 4 years ago)
Anyone other suggestion on custom ROMs?
NRG 21911 is very solid and you don't have to flash everyday it has xda uc and pim backup witch will back up and reinstall all your software I did it yesterday in about 20 min. I refrain from flashing during the week. the the first time it will take about an hour just read all you can on it. 670megs free space on device 13gigs on sd and 300 megs of free RAM
I'm downloading the 23121 Cookie Dinik Glass version right now...I'll let you know how it works on my device. thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate it!
tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.
are you getting everything to work with Android? i did not think they have a fully functional Android ROM for the HD2 yet
They're all the same...
My biggest complaint is the bad data connection. Paying too much money for crappy connection. I can't even get connection in my lower level of my house. I think every carrier and cell phones all have their own problems. My two co-workers, one with Droid and the other iPhone have similar problems. Droid keeps freezing 2 warranty phone exchanges so far and iPhone looses connection frequently. iPhone guy wishes his would freeze so he could get a replacement. So it's not just me.
Help me please
So i tried to install android, and on gthe web it said i needed to install hpsl well my phone had it set to 2.10 they stated i needed 2.08 or earlier so i did it but the install still didn't work !!! How can i return my phone back to 2.10 and still get my warranty back

i read on pocetnow that android is being worked on on xda. seen a couple of post too, but there is always some component not really working. is there an official android post where all the kinks are worked out? i would like to switch if thats the case. thanks.
Wow is all I can say about that NRG ROM....it is great! does everything I have been looking for, no data connection issues since last night (I'll report back on this issue as time goes by). It's fast and very stable (so far, but hell I'm impressed), and I did not even use most stable version the 21911.
The UI is great, I love the three pages of app slot, everything is within one or two finger stokes this way. It also gets rid of the apps that I don't want (ie TelNav, etc...) but keeps most of the apps that I do want...I can always install cabs for the programs I want from the official ROM. Plus it has cooked into it all those sweet tweaks and settings. Great work, I'm not even waiting for T-mobile to release the 2nd update any longer.
Thanks gtrplr71 again for suggesting this custom ROM, it's so nice, I don’t even think I will be trying out any other ROMs.
I would not get hopes up of a 6.5.3 upgrade. Could you imagine the Technical support nightmare if they had to troubleshoot 2 different OS versions?
This is one reason I think Android and Linux will really take off in the future.

There's a HD2 Android section in the original HD2 area (euro hd2 section).... but it is a work in progress. There are still a lot of issues and kinks. It will be a while before it works as well as a native android phone. But the progress they've made is unbelievable. It's great having both winmo and android on my phone.

your welcome don't forget to make a backup with pim backup to your sd card and use xda uc once you get things settled. Have fun!
how does the xda uc work? i could not figure that out, when I ran the app it stated that i did not have that file on my storage card...but it appeared there somehow.
Also, the incall record does not seem to work at all. when i lauch it (after I connect or before I connect a call) all I get is a blank lined page (note pad page).
And, is there a list of the added and removed apps somewhere? I could not find it in the ROM thread.
As for the 6.5.3 upgrade from T-Mobile, i don't think it will happen either and right now, after trying the NRG ROM...I don't care. I'm not even going to try the T-mobile 2nd ROM upgrade. Now with Android comes along on the HD2 (fully functional) then i will surely set up a dual boot situation on my HD2. That is like the best of both world.
(xda uc)-you wont notice anything different It will run and monitor the phone for new settings when you decide to flash a new build it will auto run and import settings and apps.

Ive oppened an account on HTCsense.com, and done the same through my phone.. registered my name, mail, number and so on which is required.

And on the left side, where a map is supposed to be...its empty, and says i have to go to settings>locations>phone finder (or something in swedish) - which is allready checked in.
i can block my phone through the site...set a pin-code to unlock and so on - but nothing happens on my phone... its still unlocked!
So basicly:
Nothing works
- not to call
- not to find my phone
-not to block it
How do i do? i really need this funktion to work! ive tried DHD on SD, now on NAND...nut still the same...
if you got it working, please help!

Im having same issue with the DL.DesireZ.v3.1.beta, Its a problem with the builds or roms not communicating properly with HTC.
[edit] Just re-checked and its now working fine except the HTCHub just keep getting error. Everything else now works fine though.
PS. Yu do know that you need a data connection or wifi for it to be able to communicate with phone dont you?
i dont have any data-contract with my operator ...but still, when i use wifi, still got no connection. this message appears in red:
"RingUnable to connect to your phone to make it ring."
dont know why..
well after looking around, i found this 3rd part app called Phone Locator Pro (also av. in Free) i Android Market...
if your phone gets stolen or something...you can track it with gps. got some nice extras like if they change the SIM, you get their number, locations, IMEI and so on...
I will use this until someone helps me to get HTCsense.com working properly...
Don't wait to get help. HTC sense is not working properly.
Sometimes I can download, sometimes it gives me an error...
With every build...
Sent from my DL DesireZ v2.6 using XDA App
I have the same issues running a NAND DHD. HTC hub for instance will say error can't connect, yet I'll get notifications saying new apps/widgets are available that'll download install but won't open, HTCsense.com like you say hasn't given Mr much luck either, I think the atheist is right in what he outlines
well ok, too bad..
i finally got the site to call my phone.. that finally works...
but still it doesent show on the map where the phone is located...
GPS is on, wifi too...that should do the job, but no...
guess i have to stick with what ive got...

[Q] Emails not pushing with exchange on CM7

I've been experiencing issues with my work email not pushing to my phone running CM7. When I was on stock it was pretty quirky and I noticed the same quirky behavior on Iced Glacier, but, it's actually the closest to working now that I have CM7, other than the fact that it won't push.
So, here's what's happening, periodically (or should I say inevitably, since it happens regularly), exchange will stop pushing emails to my phone. At first, when I boot my phone, everything is working fine and I receive any emails which had not been previously pushed to my phone. After awhile, usually about 3 hours or so, push just stops working. It feels like something is getting hung up, because when I try and open mail and refresh the emails nothing happens. During this time, I also can't pull any contacts off the global contacts when I try and compose an email. On that note, I'm not sure if anything I try and send is actually going out during this time. I have tried disabling and re enabling sync, but that didn't do anything. Actually, it looks like it get stuck during exchange sync, which confuses me just as much.
However, the kicker is that if I reboot the phone, it starts working just fine... until the problem appears again. I'm currently running CM 7.0 but I had this problem in CM7 RC2 as well (my last ROM).
Any ideas guys?
Your best bet is to ask this in the correct thread. I would suggest posting this in the CM7 thread where you got the ROM. There is where other users and the developer can assist with questions such as yours.
I was originally going to ask over there, but I realized I didn't have enough posts to do so. I guess I'll live with my issue until I get enough posts to post in the developer forums (which may be awhile, because I'm a hardcore lurker).

Hey toast, I use work exchange as well and I have actually had better results with CM7 versus stock. ONly thought I have is did you do a full wipe before you upgraded/installed? That seems to fix most of my issues.
**Side Note** I know you didn't post this in the dev forum cause as a noob like me, we're not allowed.

I did do a full wipe. I make sure to always do a full wipe when installing a new ROM. I will say that CM7 works better than stock, but that's only when it works. I mean, one thing that may be causing problems is that in my area, we only have GPRS, we don't have EDGE, 3G, or Pseudo-4g. I have to roam to get EDGE, which, only provides a decent connection about half of the time. Do you think it might be possible that it's getting hung up when I leave wifi?

I think there's a good chance that is your problem. If its working good on Wifi and not on cell connection, especially GPRS, then the exchange server probably can't push data fast enough to refresh and times out.

I agree, that seems like a fairly logical reason. Especially when you consider it's also too slow to actually download MMS messages without a time-out. I guess I'm just going to have to live with this until T-mobile finally gets their network here upgraded (they were supposed to have it up and running 2 months ago, but failed to do so due to government agencies failing to get off the damn spectrum).
Either way, do you think there might be any chance of any sort of work around?

I'm curious what general area your in? I'm not gonna say who I work for but lets call it a US carrier that isn't looking forward to a possible merger with AT&T
I know the build out is supposed to aggressive this year, so there is hope your coverage gets better. Sadly, if turning off push mail and using a manual sync mode doesn't work either, I think your out of luck when not on Wifi.
I live in San Angelo, Texas. Apparently, our fiber lines have been laid and they're just waiting to flip the switch.

Signal disappears completely

I was just curious to see if anyone else was having this problem. I have searched and found no threads that were describing exactly what was happening to me. My signal just drops out completely and doesn't come back for a full 5 minutes sometimes. I'm pretty sure it's not the root doing it either, because it was happening before I rooted it. I figured the root would solve it, but it hasn't. If anyone has any ideas, please share. I'm going to try a different radio right now and I'll share with you the results, but ideas are still appreciated.

Definitely your radio. Flash the latest radio and see if that improves it.
Sent from my HoneySmartDroid Port using XDA Premium.
I tried a new radio yesterday, for pretty much all day. It didn't solve the problem, but I'm going to try all the radios I can. If anybody else has another suggestion besides radios let me know please.
Okay, sorry it took me so long to respond. I have tried almost all the radios and none of them have solved this problem. I know it's not a T-mobile issue either because I get great service at my house with every other phone except this one. It's looking like a hardware issue, but I was wondering if anybody had any input on it.

I would send it back to tmobile, tell them about it and send her back, you might want to remove soff though
Its not new and I didn't buy it from T-mobile. I guess I can try sending it back to HTC though. I did call them and see if it was still under the 1 year. Thankfully the previous owner didn't register it. It's now registered under my name and I have a backup phone, so I guess I will do that. The charger port is loose and needs to be fixed anyway. Thank you everyone for your input.

LTE fix? Stops working after a few minutes - need to reset phone

Hello - my issue is this:
Data/LTE fix? Stops working after a few minutes - need to reset phone
N910F - tried stock, and various roms - same issue (actually i think on stock it worked best but im unsure now)
cant find a fix anywhere - any good souls out there who know what to do?
your time is much appreciated.
Does only the LTE connection stop working (so it goes down to H+ for example) or your mobile data connection in general?

Good Question.
No it's still up and the connection shows that only "upload" up arrow is lighting up, but the down arrow stops lighting up.
It may sound super stupid, but can you access the internet or do any other internet related applications work? I assume it doesn't, otherwise you wouldn't have started this thread, but I just want to ensure.
Because at the moment, it sounds like a bug with the "connection display" to me.

I WISH it was just that
unfortunately, all internet applications stop working - i contacted the telephone company and they agreed to reset the connection and that I should turn off and turn on my phone in about 15 minutes - see how it is then. Will post my findings later - there are many threads on this topic on google - but I felt better posting here on XDA. Appreciate the help in diagnosing.
You're welcome!
Just post your results later if possible.
Did you modify your device before the problem accured? Maybe it's the fault of root or a custom ROM you are using?
still nothing - going to use stock rom and test the findings. I dont want to sell the phone but I feel I have to now...
According to your last post, I assume you're using a custom ROM? If yes, got back to stock ROM and test it again, just as you said. I guess your custom ROM (if you're using one) is the problem.
not fixed - going to take to a service shop
Hmm, that's a huge mess. Do you still have warranty? (Although I guess it's voided by playing around with custom ROMs...)
And do things like normal calls work?
