I have been troubleshooting this issue for some time now and have narrowed down to 'my HD2 unit' which has an issue only on 2.10+ base roms. Apparently this does not affect most users and appreciate any ideas for resolution.
When using 2.10+ base roms:
Receiving calls, the screen blanks off which is ok for calls but when I try to access the phone during the call, no buttons can light the phone except the end call which of course ends the call.
When any other buttons pressed, the button light just turns on for a split second and turns off, nothing else. Volume buttons seemed to work as volume can be changed but screen just remains blank. After the call is complete, the screen turns back on automatically.
Strangely out going calls are fine and do not exhibit this symptom.
What I have tried and does not help:
Different radios (both 576mb & non 576mb versions)
Different HSPL (1.42, 1.66, 2.08)
MTTY, fresh rom install, hard reset everytime and test immediately before any application install
One more note is that my unit was one of the early batches which I ordered from expansys.co.uk but should be from HK.
Thanks in advance...
Are you enabling Tap Time or Screen Sensitivity using BsB Tweaks? If so switch them off and see if that resolves the problem.

Nope. I have been using Topix all the while and tested each rom from a fresh install, no additional apps.
Currently I have downgraded to Topix 1.6 (1.72 base rom) and the issue was resolved

so you've not tried other 2.10 based roms, just the topix?
maybe try another rom based on 210 to see if you get the same effect?

Yes, I did try. in fact originally I thought the 2.10 rom by zenkinz had problems so I switched back to Topix then 1.6+ roms. now I know it is due to 2.10 rom compatibility...

Strange thing is I never heard that before. You say more users experience these problems but at least it was never mentioned in the topix thread nor did I read about it in other threads. Did you ever flash back to stock and perform a task29?
You can check 2 things.
1- Older radios caused problems when 3g mode was set to auto. 2.10 radios don't have this problem.
2- Could be a problem with the proximity sensor hardware or settings. Try to test the proximity sensor by some other means.

Probably a good idea to try. I will try and feedback once I download the stock...
Well the stock flash did not work.
Tried to flash back to stock, hard reset
Re-HSPL, mtty, Topix 1.6.4, hard reset
Problem still exists, running out of ideas now...
I had the same problem...-My- solution was...
...turning off the -Face mobile down to stop ringing- feature...
FW-ROM v1.66 -hTC-
I Had exactly the same problems with miris 2.10 based roms. After some requests he built a 1.72 based rom. After flashing radio 2.10.50.19_2 a task 29, Installing HSPL 1.66 and flashing miris 1.72 rom the problem was gone. i also noticed a big improvement in in call audio quality and data connection stability. I am using his new v15.1 rom with the 1.77 base and it is great His roms are available at htcpedia.
Hope it helps
Hey all. Yes, before any of you say ANYTHING, I know this has been asked before...many times. But with searching, I have not been able to find a definitive answer to my query. We all know that if you run Android on the stock 2.13 T-Mobile ROM that you will get the whole robot voice through the earpiece...but my question is WHY does this happen? I have read that it is something to do with some .dll's within Windows...which would make sense as to why some ROMs work with it but others wont...but how is WinMo messing with Android if HaRET unloads WinMo from RAM before it starts Android. Maybe my understanding of it is wrong, I do not know. Basically I want to know for my own knowledge as to why it happens, and maybe offer some assistance. If it is something as "simple" as a .dll conflict, then maybe there is a workaround for existing users of the 2.13/.14 ROMs. I am one of those people, and through my flashing of the HD2, have found 2.13 to pretty much be the fastest and most stable for my uses, but I would also like to use Android. Anyways, in short, if someone can point me to exactly why this happens, maybe I can help out. Thanks.
i hope to get answer n solution for tis oso..
all i nd is jus HSPL + new radio or i nd a new cooked rom too?
thankz~
What is the best radio to flash if im going with the superclay superHD2? I just one that i can flash easy and not hear the robotic voice anymore
I have used radio 2.12 and 2.14 with success. I have never experienced the robot voice. However I never used android with stock roms.
I'm using vbn droid rom (minimal install of winmo) along with Hyperdroid build 1.6. I've used superhd2 build also successfully.
not sure about the robot voice
not sure why the sound gets screwed up but......I know you can run the newer stock 3.14 leaked update and it will work with android and you can keep a fully stock rom on your phone and get android too.
I am trying to get my brothers phone working for him again I am not exactly sure what is or could be causing him to have such crappy service if you have any ideas let me know
about this phone:
tmo-us hd2
can barley make a call put sim card in another hd2 and it works fine
He likes to change his roms alot
had android when I got it
put latest stock rom back on and reset all setting
still crappy service when it should be good

Do a task29 update the radio and put a rom... One without all the crap software to reduce interferance from and app or something ... Because if another identical hd2 has great serivce but this one in the same location has bad.. Then its either software/hardware related
I think that it is software as well that is why I put a stock rom on but I dont know if that did anything to the radio I will try the one you suggested

This is very sound advice. If your brother likes flashing different ROMs a lot. Then a task 29 will probably do his HD2 some good.
seems to have not changed anything I did the task29 and put latest stock rom back on first I guess I need to find a new radio as suggested but I dont know what one to use I will search around for that and a lite rom
I have
Radio 2.15.50.14
Rom 3.14.531.1

Radio 2.15.50.14 is the latest.... If its not the radio.. And its not the ROM... Then its hardware related aslong as both android and WP7 have the same problem
Flashing the radio isnt an instant fix.......
Some people recommend letting a new radio settle in for up to 48 hours.
I tried this one _2.09.50.29_2 and still the same and letting it settle in for 48 hrs may help but this has been an ongoing problem can flashing the wrong rom perminatly cause hardware problems if its hardware is there anything I can do and yes it does it in android I dont know about windows 7 I have not tried that not sure if he has I will ask
re read I thought you said flashing rom takes 48 hours not radio
Im assuming its a tmous model you have.........
If so, then you must never ever ever ever..... flash a radio with .51. in the name.
This will bork your device....
Flashing a rom shouldnt really cause a hardware problem........ unless you snap the usb connector off or something while flashing
If that radio doesnt improve things over the next day or so then check what radio is in the other HD2 you tried the card in and flash that one.
i got static on my hd2 when i make calls. it was suggested that i change the radio rom to hopefully eliminate the static. i've never modded an hd2 phone before. i got a stock 6.5 on it. i hope its possible to change the radio rom without modding the stock 6.5. how do i change the radio rom? what are the steps?
i ask ONLY serious ppl to reply, no trolls or negative ppl.
You change the radio just like you do a ROM you can flash it via USB are flash it via SD card. Download thw Radio you want to flash and put your HD2 into bootloader by holding down the volume doen button while powering on your HD2. Connect it to you computer via USB and wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then flash the radio.
Be adviced though with a stock ROM if it is a 3.14 ROM these ROMs are ver dependant of what radio version you have on the phone. They need a 2.15.50.14 or 2.14.50.02 radio. If you want to use any lower radio version than these you will need to flash a custom ROM, but they may still give you issues as most of the very resent custom ROMs are based of 3.14 stock ROMs
Do not forget my wartning from my other post about what radio versions not to flash.

hi, T-Macgnolia. good to hear from u again. ok, i read your message on my other thread. below are my current specs. but honestly, this phone shouldnt make any static calls whatsoever. its brand new. it should make CLEAR calls right out the box and i shouldnt have to flash it with any roms as a result.
os version: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
manila version: 2.5.20181424.0
rom version: 3.14.531.1 (04666) WWE
rom date : 9/29/10
radio version: 2.15.50.14
protocal version: 15.42.50.11W
it looks like i got the most current version of the radio and stock rom.
but to be honest, all this flashing sounds risky and complicated. i already owned TWO hd2s and they gave the same static. i sent the 1st one to htc for repair TWICE and it came back unrepaired. i bought a 2nd hd2 and it had the SAME static. at this point, i cant beleive that any hd2s are static free. are you guys sure u dont have static everytime someone talks on a call?
also, this loser, samsamuel, is harassing me and i dont know why!! i STRONGY urge u to ban this guy from my thread and any of my future threads. he harassed me in my prior thread and hes creating problems on this one.
Lol, I was calling you on your bad attitude, not harassing you but enough said, I'll not post in your thread again.
Best of luck with your defective Leo.
lol "i'm not paranoid, they really are out to get me!"
i just want to add a few things:
1. you shouldn't HAVE to mess with your device. in an ideal world, it should work out of the box. but such is life...
2. the rest of us don't HAVE to help you...but we do, and for free! mind you, samsamuel's thoughts and posts are valuable and insightful, and i guess any "attitude" you received was probably well placed because your conclusion in your previous thread was based on statistical evidence when we all know that "correlation doesn't imply cause and effect". finally, your "how to change radio ROM" query has already been well answered and well documented on these forums, just search and read!
and now for the thread topic:
1. having the latest version of the radio doesn't mean it is the best version for your combination of network+location.
2. i honestly don't know for sure why you get static on every hd2 you have owned. the odds of getting a lemon so many times in a row are astronomical! mine works just fine. a friend and i brought our hd2s together from the same guy on the same day. his hd2 works fine also. my uncle has two hd2s, both of his work fine. another distant relative has an hd2, and given the pattern, you'd be correct if you guessed that his works fine too. no static on any of these hd2s!
3. are you using a TMOUS sim in the phone? have you tried another sim? have you tried demonstrating the problem to a TMOUS representative in-person?
4. is the device sim free, i.e. can you try another network's sim in your device? worth a shot...might be a long standing network/tower problem in your area.
anyway, cool down dude, don't be all paranoid, no one is harassing you in the true sense of the word...just slightly using the "stick" approach to nudge you into doing more reading and research of your own. it sure beats the whole process of posting->waiting->getting harassed->posting some more->waiting->so on. cheers

i dont want your help.. dont comment on my thread anymore.
Member ASCIIker is correct as it could be your SIM card giving you issues as the HD2 has been know to act kind of funky with some SIM cards. I would see about getting a new SIM card and see if that may solve your issue. You have the current up to date ROM and Radio on your HD2 so it is more than likely a issue with something besides the HD2. Try the a new SIM and then post back here with the result.
Cheers

Damn that sucks man. Have you tried taking your SD card out maybe you got something funky going on with it as I have heard of some people taking their SD card out and it solving weird problems like this.
I assume since you said it was a prepaid card you do have your HD2 SIM unlocked, Ialso know you-know-what what SIzm unlocking is as you talked about it in the first thread I seen you in.
If trying different radios and another SIM card has not helped I am not really sure what could be the issue, unless there is just a bad cell tower or something in your area that is only malfunctioning on the GSM bands the HD2 uses. I find it hard to believe you were unlucky enough to get two HD2s that had the same issue causing static. Not saying it could not happened but the chances astronomical.
Have you tried different radios? It has been busy for my this week and I forget if you have.

Hi, T-macgnolia. I really need to update my radio ROM. But based on my current stock ROM of 3.14, I’m limited to only 2 specific radio ROMS. I’m using one of them and obviously, I’m still getting distortion on calls. As a result, I want to install a custom ROM to install a lower version radio ROM that’ll hopefully remove distortion from calls. As I said before, I’ve never modded an htc phone before.
Since I got a TMOUS phone, you said not to install the following cuz I may brick it:
Leo_RADIO_15.36.50.07U_2.09.51.03 **(from HTC **1.72)
Leo_RADIO_15.31.50.07U_2.07.51.05 **(from HTC **???? )
Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07 **(from HTCWT 1.61)
Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2 (from HTC ** 1.48)
Leo_RADIO_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2(from HTC ** 1.43)
Anyway, what custom ROM do you suggest I install for my TMOUS so that i can install the right radio ROM on it? I want one that looks exactly like WM 6.5. also, can you provide the steps needed to install a custom ROM on my SD card.. thank you.

Yes do not flash any of those radios to your HD2 as they will brick your HD2, no might to it, they will brick it. look at the numbers I have highlighted and this is what you look for in radios that will brick a TMOUS HD2, any 2.05.50.xx radio will brick it too.
Ok the one ROM that comes to my mind when you say you want a ROM that is close to stock id the Energy ROMs as the ROM chef NRGZ28 has multiple ROM versions in that thread, all of wich IO highly recomend you just have to pick your flavor. Here is a link to the Energy ROM thread if you want to look at screen shots of all the ROMs as you might find one you like more than the ones he has that are close to stock. Here is a link directly to the post #3 which has the close to stock ROMs in it, you will probably want to go with the Eergy version are the Reference version from this post. to download click on the American flag and then select the most current version of the ROM you want.
Here is something you need to know it will help you know wich download to click on when you go to hotfix from clicking on the flag. This comes straight from post #1 of the Energy ROM thread, I added the red and blue writing to help you understand.
Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.
* The 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner! I recommend you start with this first!
This is the number for the closest to stock ROMs when you go to the download link.
* The 29017 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.X series with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys. These builds are not as stable or perfect, but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. These are also much more finger friendly throughout.
This is number for the ROMs that are a little more modified but still close to stock if you use the ROMs I suggested.

hi, T-Macgnolia. thanks for the info. i got a question. i like the 'Reference 21916 build' ROM. but, i dont like the big soft keys (action and menu) at the bottom. i like the way the soft keys look on the stock wm 6.5. can i customize it to make the bottom look exactly like the bottom of the stock wm?
do you know if this ROM is the latest version?
also, hows the battery life on this ROM? i need to make sure that this ROM doesnt drain the battery... this is very important for me.

WM6.5 Stock uses an older Windows Mobile Build.. Build 6.5.3 I believe was the when it started to be more finger friendly and in turn has the larger buttons.. So if you like how the older build looks then look for roms that have that version of WM6.5
Look in the WM6.5 Themes you might find something you like
As for Battery Life.. It all depends many factors... Some say the latest Radio has a higher battery usage while others say the complete opposite.. You must check which combination of Radio/ROM fits your location the best and if the battery is decent enough to stick with.. That why most people start out thinking they wont flash roms, but once they start having problems or want better performace they change their mind

hi, T-Macgnolia. thanks for the info. i got a question. i like the 'Reference 21916 build' ROM. but, i dont like the big soft keys (action and menu) at the bottom. i like the way the soft keys look on the stock wm 6.5. can i customize it to make the bottom look exactly like the bottom of the stock wm?
do you know if this ROM is the latest version?
also, hows the battery life on this ROM? i need to make sure that this ROM doesnt drain the battery... this is very important for me.

21916 will give you start menu in the top left corner without the big ugly softkeys... thats the other build number.
It only shows that in the pic as it seems to be the most popular version.
Battery life with energy roms tends be less than some other roms as they are optimised for speed. Battery life is by no means bad though. You should still be able to make it through a full day without worrying about running out of juice. That said, there are other roms which will give you better battery life if this is a huge issue for you.
Also, not sure if this has been mentioned yet but when trying out different radios its apparently a good idea to test it out for at least 48hrs before you decide if its making a difference or not.....
Yes koolxx as canantroutman posted the 21916 ROM will give you the same soft keys at the bottom and the same start key at the top like the stock ROMs do.The ROM you like the Reference ROM is based of the latest stock ROM so yes it is the latest ROM. So far as battery life goes I can not give any first hand feed back on this as AI have not used that ROM. What I can do though is refer you to member facdemol's "Various ROMs power consumption" thread, link is below. If you go and read his first post you can see from his test resoults that all ROMs use just about the same power as far as power consumption goes, but he does say that all around the Energy ROM does best on power consumption. Go check the thread out it is a very informative thread and project he is working on.

Hello,i installed a few wp7 roms on my hd2,including XBMOD and HD2O,but all of them have the same problem-too low in call volume-when i speak with someone they cannot hear me.I tried changing the registry value as described in the sticky thread ,but it did not help at all.I also tried switching between 2g and 3g but it didn't help either.So is there any way to fix this,because i'd like to use wp7 for a while,but if it cannot be fixed i'm moving back to android?
I've used win7 for helf a year now and didn't face that problem
Anyone else have such a problem???
Not me. have you tried to do task29 and reinstall magldr and Wp7? Or maybe to change the radio version? Or try with different ROM.

I changed 3 different radios ,none of them is better than the others.I tried 3 different roms-they have the same issue.I tried full wipe and clean install-no effect.
When i flash android back- the incall volume if perfect-loud,clean.
Ideas?

Ok try this:
1. Do task29
2.Install WinMo 6.5 (I prefer Dutty's V25)
3.Now install MAGLDR and Wp7 without Task29 (Install over it)
I have some issues with installing Wp7, but I learned that Task29 mess-up with Wp7 installation.
Now if this failed try reverting to stock ROM, and install everything again.
It didn't work.
Then i did task29,installed maglrd and wp7(yuki's rom),and still no effect.Strange thing is that when i turn on the speaker,they hear me well,but when i turn the speaker off-they hear me as if i am 10 metres away from the phone-very very silently.
Ideas?
mine is too loud,to an extend that sound sounds crappy,
its something to do with the builds only,Yuki is working on it,(i dont noe abt others,m sure they must be working as well ),check out his thread as well..
btw m using XMOD v.1.11, and i LOVE it (gnna try out yuki's tonight as well)

I'm having the same problem:
- overall phone sound is to loud
- incall mic volume is low to the point that the person on the other end can barelly hear me.
Is there a reg key for the mic volume?
As far as i know,there is not.There is a reg key to increase in call volume,but it actually increases in call volume of the hd2,not the mic.I still haven't found a fix for this bug
We should post here all we do. I have tried to flash 2 radios, and nothing, also i have flash WM6.5 HD2O and I came from Android 2.3, i don't remember the rom name . Anyone have tried to re-flash HSPL-2.08?
Greetings
It is true that NoDo roms for HD2 have new radios from HD7? If this is true, we can flash 2.15.50.14, unless, this post could be interesting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080950

Ive been using wp7 since dft first released it and ive also tried all the roms, never had this problem, although ive seen a few people reporting this.... so ive have a look around.

I have just flash WP7 7592 with marketplace by elfinlazz and all works correctly, only the camera with flash but the mic seems works fine, this is really big, the HD2 will never die.
Greetings.
bringing this back...
I'm using the latest mango rom from HD20 1.23B1 and have this issue. The speaker volume is too high even at 1 and the mic is too low. The other person in the call can't hear me unless I'm talking really loud. I might go back to android if there's no fix...everything is just so good except this bug. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
