I flashed my HD2 with cooked ROM and everythings works fine for month untill i had that stupid idea to "enhance the picture with offical patch from official website". The only thing i see, when i want to take a picture, is : Unable to switch to preview mode. Failed to set up the camera device.
Is there any solution for this? (I´m sure everything could be undone by flashing it with cooked ROM again but I dont want to lose all data and cabs and intsall it again...this is the last way)
Thx for advice
i heard someone else who did the same and resetting the phone was the easiest option, if you speak to HTC they will tell you the same and its like getting a blood out of a stone when you ask them on what it changed, how to revert etc.

By reseting you mean factory reset? Or will it be enough to flash another/same cooked ROM or do I have to install official ROM and than flash it again?
(I have HSPL).
Thx
Don't you have an option to uninstall the patch? I do on mine.
Also, if your ROM is 1.66 or newer the patch comes preinstalled.

Hey guys the offical update just came out i just didn't notice cause they have the picture of the Touch Pro2 for it. So go and get it guys!! Just go to t-mobile.com/wmupgrade
Before I even install this...just wanna make sure. Is the HSPL going to be overwritten?
Thanks! I didn't notice it either.
yeah can custom roms still be installed?

As far as i know it does change it from 2.08 to 2.10. so i recommend you do some research before installing this update cause as of now i don't think there is a way to override 2.10 to have hspl.
It's just the 2.13 ROM, from what I saw on the download page.
In this event: The WMobile OS version is the same.
Ok so I installed it, I then read where people said it was twitchy and such and....well it is. My clouds no longer glide across my screen, they now twitch across my screen. I'm downgrading back to 2.10 until 2.13 is better.
its working for me...

i would hard reset and then see how things are going...even though when you upgraded to the new rom it hard reseted for you, just doing it to be safe
Touch Screen Not Responsive
My issue with the new version is that the touch screen is flaky. I have to swipe my finger harder to move from screen to screen and push harder to get the characters to work. Went back to a cooked rom.
No more touch response issues
I re loaded the official rom again and voila, my touch senstivity issues are gone....I am not sure what else got changes between the first release and the official one(18th May), but I am not seeing the touch sensitivity issues..its smooth and am able to click on the x button without any issue...
im having touch problem and connection problem it keeps loosing service and serches for service, i didnt have this problem on the old rom, is there anyway to fix those without going back to the old version?
Please see the general forum for the fix on sensitivity:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683192
As for the Radio, in the 2.13 version the radio was updated, so yes you may have different results from different radios in your area, please see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669733&page=3
for your answer on HSPL, yes 2.13 will overwrite it to SPL 2.10; however if you re-install 2.10 then it will re-write the SPL to 2.08, and then you can re-install HSPL....
Topic to General please...

I download early this morning and tried on WIN7; said file corrupted.
btw, download speed was like crap
Slow to non existent download speeds
I'm trying to dl the newest official update, size 220mb, speed 6kb/s, you heard right. Guessing the server is getting slammed. Can't be my internet connection, cause I'm doing this from work, I work for Comcast and I'm at the headend, have my own personal connection rated up to 25mb/s. This sucks........

I hard reset and then also reflashed the ROM, still had the same issues. I liked the menu's to "bounce" when I hit the top or bottom and scroll smoothly. I applied all the registry edits and it didn't help much, like I thought it did. My Sense weather was very twitchy and it really bothered me. I downgraded back to spl 2.08 and my 2.10.531 ROM for the time being. It is much better now, I never had any issue's to begin with so the update seemed pointless.
Looking at some custom ROM's right now.
I am not sure what is up them but here is the official release again.
Get it while it is hot!

Did you try this? better than the original one they put out? I'm wondering why it's the same version number. Seems like a good way to confuse people.
Supposedly there were issues with downloading the originial release, so they had to correct that. But, the version they put up is the same one as before.
I've got all 3 "versions" of the new ROM now (leaked, first official issue, and this new one now too) and they're all the same.
Confusing? Yes. Big deal? Not really
so basically this isn't going to fix any issues? you downloaded it and it's the same everything? Why would they bother?

Well yes it's the same as the first release of the 2.13 ROM if that's what you mean. I think they just put it back up because there's people who didn't get it before they had to pull it temporarily for the downloading issues. I assume it'll stay available there from now on.

I used the First release and still have it on my computer at home. I downloaded the leaked version and it was a godsend. I hear when they made it official on the 18th it caused people a lot of problem even bricking. according to the link they where having server issues and that is why they had to pull the official release but I guessed they fixed the issues now. It is the same ROM version as the one I have so your guess is as good as mine. I think sirphunkee has them all downloaded but has not implemented them and is still running 2.10xxx

Correct, and I should have made that clear...still on 2.10, haven't flashed any of the upgrade downloads.
Somewhere in one of the threads in this section about the upgrade, the leaked version and the first "official" releases were compared and found to match bit-for-bit. Also, T-Mobile forums had confirmation that the recent re-release is identical to the one they put up before the download issues. So, by the commutative property of Windows Mobile Mathematics (WMM), they're all the same
However, that's not to say that the end experience from those who have flashed any of the three doesn't vary greatly. Some report a near-magical cleansing of demons, others are suddenly needing an exorcism...and this is across all three "releases" of this ROM.

I forget where I read...but a lot of people where having issue when the flashed to a custom rom then flashed to the upgraded tmobile rom with out returning their phones back to stock. I guess that was a major issue. Or people had to factory reset then run the upgrade I didn't do either of those things when I flashed and it worked great. I mean I didnt have CHT or Editor on but I did have a bunch of apps.
I bought my HD2 last week and the rom it came with from the factory is 2.13.531.1. I have had the phone freeze on me 2 or 3 times in the week I have owned it. Even though the rom that was just released is the same version would it still be a good idea to flash it? I am coming from a G1 and on occasion have flashed a rom and the phone ran like crap. Then upon re flashing the same exact rom the phone ran like normal.
I upgraded last evening, despite my initial trepidation.
Everything seems smooth now--a lot of the hiccups when texting seem to be gone (out of order texts, highlighting of last text sent and lag when trying to write a text that is part of a longer thread).
Swype is working a 100x better.
So far, so good.

That happens with winmo as well as android....after flashing a ROM, sometimes either a re-flash, or an immediate hard-reset is needed to get it to "stick". In fact, most chefs recommend doing a hard-reset right after a new flash, just to be safe, and I've seen numberous times where a buggy install is fixed perfectly just by doing that. So, if you're fine with the effort involved, I would certainly suggest it...it certainly can't hurt
Cool. Thanks for the info sirphunkee.
Software Upgrade or ROM
I downloaded the update from T-Mobile and have it running on my HD2. Was this an update to my ROM, so a hard reset will reload this update? I talked with a T-Mobile rep on the phone who said a hard reset would remove the update and I would have to re-install it.

Good thing you asked here to be sure
No, a hard-reset will only "reload" whatever the currently flashed ROM is...whether it's an official update or a custom ROM.
Hello
I have been roaming around for like a year or so now without registering cause i didn't had any problems following stuffs from here. But now...i have like a huge problem with my Wifi and BT. Around 3 weeks ago i flashed the BeatMod ICS ROM and everything worked just fine...then one day my phone started freezing at lockscreen...like it would start up, but after pushing the power button to lock my phone it won't turn on anymore (except soft buttons)...Then i went back to stock 2.2, made S-OFF, then ENG-OFF and flashed a radio (i can't recall which one) cause i tought that was the problem...indeed that seemed to fix my lockscreen problem..but then once my phone stucked and i had to remove the battery so i could turn it off...it started to freeze at bootloader and at one point simply turned on...it seemed okay....everything worked...or at least that's what i thought until i got home and tried to turn WiFi on...it kept saying error...same with BT...i have no other problem with it except those 2...here is a logcat screenshot with what it says when trying to turn wifi on...any help is welcome
P.S: i love u guys xD xda rocks :]
Seems your radio is bad, either a bad flash or a bad radio. Did you check the MD5 before flashing it?
You might want to flash a different radio and see if it helps.
yeah i did check the md5 checksum, ummm i have no idea...i flashed another radio too but that didn't helped so i restored the phone using a 2.2 WWE stock rom from shipped roms or how it's that site called...hoping that everything will work fine, but it didn't , i might just try to flash a radio again and see if that helps. Thanks for your answer
You can check in the development part of the forum and get the latest radio
Put the .zip in the root of your SD, boot in recovery it should ask if yuo want to update
There you go, should solve your problem
i just tried that yesterday...same thing...and the errno i get from BT in logcat is 19 and the wifi driver thing persists...attachment below...
How do you have flashed the radio???
CU AssiY2K
by ur screenshot i guess that u r still using ics. i had same problem with my wifi and bt. try latest ics rom and in last pages of ics thread is a patch regarding wifi problem apply that too. i hope it ll solve ur prob

Okay,
I would try another ROM, not ICS. If the other ROM works with WIFI, then will be the issue to ICS.

well try to install latest virtuous rom and then install wifi patch.
i went back to stock and then flashed various ROMs and i still have the same issue...oh and btw, my phone vibrates twice now before booting up the ROM, then when the ROM boots up it vibrates for the 3rd time....never happened like that until i flashed a radio for the first time...so idk...i think that most probably is a radio problem...and i have no idea what i could do to fix it...it's like over a month now without WiFi and it kinda kills me T_T
/bump /10chars anyone any ideas? QQ
Most of the experianced users may already be aware of this method, but I'm posting this for the benefit of the new users.
Many of you might be familiar with the issue of GPS not turning on after a new ROM flash. Mostly on CM7 and its based-on ROMs. This could be fixed by flashing radios ( haven't tried flashing radios myself ).
But here is an easy way to get GPS working without any trouble.
1). Make a nadroid backup of your current rom if necessary and flash a ROM with working GPS ( a sense ROM or CM6) , if your current ROM has no issues with turning GPS on, skip this step,
2). Open Maps or similar app an wait for a stable GPS fix,
3). Without leaving the Maps or the app you used, turn the phone off. ( GPS must be on as we shutdown the phone)
3). Boot into recovery and flash your new ROM as usual or restore your previous backup,
4). Boot in to the ROM, you'll have GPS working..
Follow steps 2-4 everytime you flash a new ROM to get the GPS working.
Cheers..

Just wandering, what method are you guys using to make GPS work? flashing radio method?
When i had my wildfire i used the radio method first, then the rom one as it was quicker and less dangerous. this will be particularly useful to people with s-on who cannot flash the radio

yes, you're quite right.
A new user recently had trouble with flashing the radio, and he was also trying to fix the GPS issue. And that's why I decided to share this simple method with all new users.

Sorry to bump and old thread but, just out of curiosity would I have to flash a new cm 7 to trigger the GPS or could I restord a nandroind backup instead (obviously after flashing the cm 6 or sense based rom). If the answer's no, could I instead flash the new cm 7 and gapps but advanced restore my data so I can get my apps back (don't know if this will mean having two Google apps because i don't know whether its stored in data or system). Thanks in advance.

As I remember restoring a backup also works...
Gapps are stored in system/apps folder.

I can't tell you how happy I am! I have a galaxy note 2 from verizon and my gps stopped working about a month and a half ago after flashing a new rom. I thought it was a hardware issue because I couldn't find anything online and considering it was acting up on the previous rom. Keep in mind I used an app called GPS Test and could not find a single satellite even after trying in different outdoor locations. I fixed my phone by following steps 2-3 after making a backup of my current rom, and restored a backup of my first rom using TWRP. Once I had that rom installed I used GPS Test to see if it found any satellites and it did! I followed step 2-3 again and restored the rom from the backup I had just made and opened up GPS Test and it worked!!!!!!!!!! Can't tell you how happy I am! I was about to get a new device, a navigation is necessary for me. Honestly, Thank You!!!!!!

Htc sensation
Hi Lads!
I'm experiencing problems with my HTC sensation. I've installed newest ROM and gapps from Albinoman887 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2524961). My GPS works just fine if I'm using WiFi or data network, unfortunately I don't have an internet plan so I can only use WiFi when in range. No matter how long I would wait google maps (I've saved offline map) or Garmin/TomTom wont connect with GPS. I've tried to connect it in not urbanised area,were i wasn't surrounded by building or high trees.I was switching between 'device only' and 'assited with WiFi and network data' but since I don't have internet connection I think it makes no difference. I had this problem as well on - cm-10.1-20130610-Albinoman887-pyramid , but as I had internet plan wasn't bothered about that. Did you face similar problem ? Would you know how to fix that issue ?

Have you tried this procedure? Could possibly be the same issue as you also have a HTC device.
Also, Network Location should work regardless of the data connection status, as it gathers location data from Signal Towers to determine your approximate location.
