So I have searched and couldn't find a thread (or even multiple threads) simular to this so I thought I would start one.
Anyways after trying the different radios firmware everything this is what I came up with:
Using Haykuros rom (early stages) I liked it but not stable enough so I went back to jf rc33.
I tried JF 1.5 but to laggy and key presses were extremely slow and I couldn't hadle this.
So finally I used The Dudes 1.5 (curently 1.0) so far found this to be the most responsive. No laggyness (not sure if even a word)
Now onto the radios.
I used The Dudes link to htc's update used for awhile hate it battery dies in less then eight hours with little use. Wifi sucks market hangs the works.
So I switched to Jf radio wondering if this might work (keep in mind I'm still using thDudes build,) didn't work same raido so same problems.
Finally switched to Haykruo's radio and works wonderfully great battery, wifi all of that.
Here are the things I have noticed, correct me if I'm wrong, my settings and all:
When using HTC's radio my light would never time out I had to hit the end button numerous times throughout the day to shut them off. This could be totally unrelated but hey I'm just stateing what I noticed. With the sapphire it times out just right.
Another thing was with HTC it told me I had all kinds of internal memory. With the sapphire radio it read the real amount.
Also with the sapphire radio it is way faster in general.
Anyone have any idea what might work best or is what I'm doing now the best.
As I am a newbie too, I can't help you much, but I know one thing for sure. I updated today to the HTC radio and:
- no problems with wifi
- no problems with market
- screen times out just allright
Well I'm not a total newb I have been doing this since the g1 came out, I have just found the search button very helpful. Just most of my phone modding knowledge is in windows mobile. This is just more of things I've noticed and was wondering if anyone else was having the same issues.
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.

After upgrading to ROM 3.14.531.1 my wifi connection disconnects frequently.
Anyone have this problem or know of updated wireless drivers?
I am having the exact same problem.
I used to get connection to the router throughout my house and now it is spotty at best with the new update.
I also noticed that my range is cut by 1/4 and signal strength is very sporadic

Someone suggested flashing to the radio that you were using before. Anyone tried that?
I haven't (I have not even installed HPSL), but here is the rub...my phone signal seems better...my connection to the router is worse!
Not sure if that is an equal trade-off or not (also not sure if I am accurate on the phone signal though)...(what's my name again?_)

Or just try a completely different radio all together. Just make sure it's compatible... HSPL3 is easy as hell.
I observed the exact same problem with WIFI and reverted back to 2.13 ROM.... WIFI worked fine since!

I am seriously debating this.
The WIFI is ridiculous now.
The device does seem smoother though and battery life is greatly increased. Where I would usually be around 30% in the day I am at 50%!
Maybe I should just install an earlier radio, but I am nervous about doing that!
Battery life question
Fit those reporting implement in battery life, do you all keep all your radios on (bluetooth, wifi and 3g) all the time? I generally keep bluetooth off because it haas been giving me an additional half day of usage and, staying with this, I am not seeing any improvements in battery life. if anything, my battery life may actually be slightly worse with the new ROM.
I do have direct push email set to deliver instantaneously.
Also, with regards wifi, not seeing a signal issue but wifi drops after some period of inactivity. This was not the case with the previous radio. Like others, I am also very interested to see if anyone has rolled back to the previous radio with favorable results .

HardSPL3 and flashing the radio is so simple. I promise... Don't go back to 2.13, just HSPL and flash a radio. There is a thread in rom development that has all of the TMOUS radios... Just flash the radio back to 2.10.50.26. That's the stock radio from 2.13 Rom. If you want to private message me, I'd be glad to give you the step by step, but I learned what I know from reading threads on this site.

I do think the 2.15 radio is setup to disable your data if you are using wifi, and maybe as you suggested, turn off wifi if it's been idle for a while. Probably a way to save battery life... I had switched to the 2.10.50.26 radio that comes with the 2.13 ROM because the battery life wasn't great with the 2.15 Radio, but then I had also noticed before I flashed back to 2.10 Radio that I was getting full Edge at my buddy's house, where I normally have no signal at all. I decided to switch back to 2.15 radio and test the theory that the battery life gets better as the Rom "settles"... I'm not totally buying it because logically it doesn't make sense to me, but I'll try anything. That's how you learn stuff.
Thanks for the informative post, crisisinthecity! Keep its posted on erhart you find.
I have tried to adjust the power savings in advanced settings hoping that more power would keep the signal from disconnecting and give me better signal strength. Did not seem to have any effect
Hey guys.
I've got exactly same problem with the new ROM here in Holland. I am not T-mobile user.
I've posted my message on forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8709630&posted=1#post8709630[/url] but apparently nobody had similar issue there.
I've also contacted HTC support. Of course they started from giving me instructions how to setup WiFi. Finally after several iterations they realized what problem is about. Just today I had long conversation with them and they said that this issue is happened with only me but "they really want to understand the issue and try to help".
They were suggesting me to install the new ROM again and try to test in on different WiFi network - apparently they reluctant to do it themselves properly. I said I don't wan't do it as I don't wan't to waste my time on that and I want them figure it out themselves iby having more complains about new ROM.
I've bought theory that the issue is in radio and tried to install new ROM on top of old ROM with SSPL_RUU. It worked but even with old radio+new ROM ("only flash Splashe and OS image") WiFi issue was not fixed.
I am not going to do any experiments with my device until I will be sure the issue is completely resolved. Very disappointed indeed. Very happy with old good ROM 1.66.
I was having this problem until a few minutes ago since I flashed the 3.14 rom. When I flashed the ROm from january 25 ... UK ... It's the 1.66 ... the issue with my HD2 stopped ... just finsihing the setup of my phone again ... and the wifi is working perfectly.
I was just about to adopt the first procedures to send my the goddam hd2 to
fix by htc, when i decided to do this test.
man, I can't wait to get rid of this phone

Odd...I have been having the same issue and in contacting T-mo and HTC they both admit that this is a known issue and that they are working on it (no mention of whetehr or not they will release a new ROM to address and I doubt that they will).
yep, been having the same issue with 3.14 ROM, WiFi disconnects frequently.
this is not seen in previous versions of ROM. must be a botched job from HTC on the WiFi drivers.
this problem only happens with certain WiFi Access Points. So not everyone will experience this problem. that's why a lot of people can't relate to what we are experiencing.
Damn HTC.
I'm pretty sure this is not a problem of Radio, but rather the WiFi drivers in the ROM.
Hello,
My friends complain about my call quality. They tell me that my voice repetitively gets extremely silent, so inaudible they often ask back so I need to repeat myself multiple times which is weird and aggravating at some point.
I have an EU HD2 with radio 2.15.50.14 and Rafdroid HD 4.0.2 NAND + data2sd. I had this problem back while I was still using wm65 Energy ROMs or my own custom built wm65 ROM, so I'm 99% sure it's unrelated to the operating system.
BTW I'm on T-Mobile Hungary. Gonna try my phone with Vodafone too, just to narrow things down.
Oh, and no, I'm NOT covering the microphone with my hand. I always hold my phone in my right hand when calling.
Anyone else had a problem like this?
Thanks,
Jay
Bumpity bump?
If you had the issue with the Energy ROM and your current ROM plus you have the most current radio version installed it my just be a issue of bad service in your area. You could try down grading your radio starting with the radio under the one you have and systematicly work your way down from there with the radio versions to see if you can find one that works better in your area. Go to the HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread to get the radios.

Thanks for the tip! Will try that.
I have exactly the same issue on my HD2.
Radio 2.07.50.27_2
Energy ROM: Energy.Leo.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Dec.27
I think for me this is a hardware problem, but it occurs very randomly and usually sound is ok again after some seconds.
JayMore, did you find a solution?
I have had this problem for quite a while also on older Energy ROM (same radio), but I never called very much. Now it is getting worse or I make too much long calls and I'm ready to RMA.
Try using a different microSD card, since I've switched, nobody mentioned this problem. Sounds stupid enough to actually do the trick...
Help!!!
My HTC HD2 is giving me problems....everytime I receive a call the caller gets a echo of his/her voice.....is there anything I can do to fix that????
Same problem here.
Usually when people phone me. If I phone back it seems OK.
Gonna try and rollback to an earlier radio to see if that works.
Hello. Am on pdateam wp7 7740 rom. I have realized that anytime I access the internet or do anything concerning internet connection the bottom part of my hd2 becomes very warm everytime. It sometimes makes it unable for charging. I want to know whether anyone is also experiencing this problem. And also how I can solve it. Thanks very much....
i to have had this problem. i did NOT have it with ANY rom prior to mango releases. i asked over a week ago if this problem had been addressed and/or fixed in recent releases and have not had any reply. after reading this i suppose the answer is no. as i said, i didn't have this problem with any pre-mango roms.
after i installed yuki & xbmod's 7720 zune updatable anytime i would stream say netflix or youtube for more than 10 minutes i would get the dreaded orange/green flashing led (read up real fast and found out it is an OVERHEAT notification)
one thing that i found is a slightly damp or very cold cloth on the back in the VERY hot area for just a few minutes will cool your leo down enough to start to charge again (leave the cold cloth on as long as you plan on charging after you get the overheat notification). i just love my baby to much to run the risk of burning it up so i went to android.
i REALLY miss WP7 but unless this is corrected or someone can tell me for sure i'll stick with android.
(if anyone knows if this has been resolved or knows a better workaround i'd really appreciate it as i detest the whole lengthy process of going between android to WP7)
cheers

whoops, didnt mean to thank you, ah well, have one on me
anyhow, the only time i get that heat issue is if i go crazy with wifi, day to day its fine, but if i start transfering 100s of MB of data it gets toasty!
Some one shld please help solve this problem.
have you tried messing about with different radios?
the reason some networks use different versions is because the settings suite some areas better than others.
Start with hardware radios as thats easy to change, then move to software radio starting with oldest, mango roms did have a newer software radiuo built in so that might be answer for you
I haven't had this issue since the first wave of roms released pre mango in January. Ever since mango this problem has been cleared up. I'm on BTTF rom 7740. Back on pre mango roms it would get so hot I could barely hold it. But now on Yuki & Xboxmods rom it NEVER heats up. Just my experience.

ok thanks.and by the way,what's a software and hardware radio?..and can u please give me a list of compatible mango radios...
well, hardware radio is what you used to flash when dealing with WM6.5, you can find all the radios in the HD2 wiki or 6.5 development forum, that is easy to flash as all you have to do is stick it in tricolour bootloader, and flash via your pc using the customRUU, typically these are named
2.12.50.02
2.14.50.04
2.15.50.14
there are a lot more than that, different areas will like different radios, trial and error is usually the only way to go, for example, you may lose the heat issue but lose signal as well, or perhaps your battery life will improve or drop like a rock
The software radio is something windows phone brought to us, as far as i can tell the only way to change that is via flashing WP7 again, you essentially swap out the part00.bin from the install folder and replace it with a different radio version
a quick search on the windows phone 7 HD2 stickys should find what your are looking for
but these radios are typically called
5.52.09.16
5.51T.09.29a
5.65.09.11a
again, there are a lot more than those ive lists, i think there are about 11 in total.
