Telstra T9193 - Energy Rom [Radio]

Hi,
I've got a telstra T9193 and using the recomended energy radio 2.07.50.27_2 from:
http://www.energyroms.com/PostGraphics/Leo/Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2.rar
Energy.Leo.23563.Sense2.5.Cookie.HomeTab.Apr.23 is currently running.
I'm experiencing quick battery drainage with push activated, data always on.
The phone freezes, and have to remove the back cover to reset quite often. Screen freezes with backlight on, no buttons work.
The phone freezes just by browsing xda with IE. This is pretty frustrating when you'd think a simple train ride to or from work with browsing IE would just work. 45 minutes of browsing forums on the train will waste 20% of the battery [half of the browsing includes waiting for proper reception].
I don't have crap installed, and most apps are installed on storage card.
Cleanram and cleantemp don't seem to help with reducing suprising freezes.
CHT contact links on home screen ramdomly doesn't load/show contact pics when loading. Every reboot a different contact pic is hidden. Manila reset resolves it sometimes.
Arkswitch displays an error before manila loads so i've got it working as an app, and not from top taskbar.
I was thinking of maxsense but it looks ugly compared to CHT.

re telstra T9193 and radio
Hi there,
I am using T9193 in Sydney as well.
Actually, I have found that the 2.07.50.27_2 is the best radio so far. I have tried 2.08.50.08,2.08.50.05, 2.09, 2.10, and 2.11 as well. 2.07 give me the best reception/ battery and the sound is more natural compared to 2.11, which sounds like a robot with echo sometime.
I am using 19Jun10 energy rom, downloading 22Jun10 right now. From the update log, it seemed that 22Jun10 is a good bulid and with alot of people already tested and reported it's a good one.
So, a few check points to try to solve your myths.
1. Have you changed setting for auto backlight level? This eat up battery.
2. Have you applied 2100/850MHz fix? this is important if you're with telstra next G network.
3. err... that's all I can think of, but i would suggest you to stay with 2.07.
good luck mate!

hmm....
im on vodafone 900/2100..
backlight is on 65%. might try 22June =/ cbf recustomising to my liking..
I dn't think there alot of vodafone hd2 users in australia.. If there is give us some feedback on data speeds aswel.

Dude, for the ABSOLUTE BEST experience with your Telstra T9193 model HD2, I IMPLORE you to PLEASE flash ROM in the thread below! You will have NO issues I promise! Energy ROM's are OKAY at best, but he cooks too fast and... well I'll just say I prefer QUALITY over QUANTITY... at least in this case

I am on Vodafone and I use Dutty's HG with 2.10.50.26 radio and I have excellent data speeds and fairly good battery life. I am on a corporate plan for work and I have no problems. The latest radio 2.12xxx seems to give me poor battery life and 2.11xx is not too bad - but 2.10.50.26 seems best at the moment.

Energy ROM CHT (19 June)
Radio - 2.08.50.05
I have flashed quite a number of ROMS. This one uses a bit of juice but I find is quick and stable. I have had no issues with it whatsoever. It does not freeze.
I would consider:
1. Flashing Task 29
2. Flash either a fresh download of ENERGY CHT or consider flashing EVOLUTION.
Good luck

telstra band.
i've got a 2gb plan which is enuf for me...
Pablo11 what's your average/max speeds on vodafone
I'm mostly in sydney cbd with excellent reception max 200KB/s

yeah i'd like to know about this fix as well......not that i have any problems with energy rom and radio 2.12!
is there a cab that us telstra customers need to apply?

Here is the Telstra band cab.
Also, you'll find battery usage depends a LOT on your location...ie how good a signal you get. 2 people on the same ROM/radio can have very different results. If you are on the edge of a 3G network where the reception comesd and goes, you'll have higher battery usage as the phone keeps searching for a signal.
I'm on Telstra, and with my ROM I get several days usage.
If you're having freezing/other issues, I'd suggest you post in NRG's thread to request help.

I have also got this phone and am wih vodafone in melbourne and am using the 2.14.50.04 radio and this gives the best battery life so far, usually for 10 hours of standby I only loose 4%. I tried 2.15.50.14 the other day but the battery life isn't as good as 2.14. Thought I might mention this incase those people in Aus want to be kept up to date with their radio.

Hi, i know this is old, but its relevant.
Your issue is a faulty motherboard. Get it replaced under warranty. But do not send it to the Telstra Repair Centre, because they dont test it long enough to see the fault. Try Fonebiz in your state! Trust me, mine 2 HD2s went to Telstra Repair Centre twice and came back saying no fault found.
then within 10mins of leaving the store it would lock up.
I use Energy Roms and radio 2.15.xx.xx

I had the same problem, couldn't even charge the phone while backlight was on without it overheating.
Decided to avoid the run around and flashed a radio I knew would brick my phone. Then played stupid (I'm good at that).

Is this settings causing Sleep OF Death ??

HI,with respect to user's , admins n DEvelopers i would like to say SOD might be due to the sleep time settings (image attached)in brightness.i might be wrong or might not be,if im wrong sorry in advance n would req. the admins to delete this thread,Tnx to all..
EDIT :
Use mattcfroyo 1.4 (with latest cotulla zimage) or DARKSTONE froyo v1 latest(384ram enabled)
[my preference] with windows rom: chuky gtx/chukydroid/miri17.6
and radio 2.10.50/2.12.50 no echo no robovoice no sleep of death evrything is fine

Well have you tried experimenting with it? I don't know if thats the issue or not, but I am desperate to get rid of that SOD issue

thats y i let this info to other users let see what happens to them,n i dont hav n SOD problem but i have robotic voice :"S too bad cant get rid off it,can u sggest me a ROM,m using updated tmous ROM n radio 2.12.50.xxx.. tnx in advance.. and lets see what others say with sleep turned of.. and please do share your results... thank u..

Im testing it right now, so far no problems, but it seems randomly whener SOD appears, so i'll just test it a little longer.
Im using the european HD2.

hmm.. Lets see the results of other users also... and please do share ur findings...
P.S: m using TMOUS HD2 and waitin when i can get rid of robotic voice.

Damnit just got it! Well, seems that this won't help It was a nice try tho

i have never had sleep of death its gta be rom and radio related

i tried to help all... thats all.. but tnx for tryin... but i dont hav SOD either.. now dloadin maatcleo+froyo v1.2 n gonna test if it has SOD..
robotic voice is killing me :'(

I've had sleep of death with basically every android build out there.. i don't think it's a setting in my personal opinion. i think it is because it's still in develoupment and the drivers aren't 100% yet.. and i'm sure in time it will be fixed.

I tried it on zimage 7/25 and still have SOD .Some claim they use the new zimage without SOD ,no matter what I do it won't wake up.
the battery is horrible on 7/23 zimage and carrying the charger in my pocket all the time is a pain.

Off topic: I loved the notes on dna u had there

The "Turn screen off" setting is active in my WM. Using German T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, Radio 2.10.50.19_2, Dan's Froyo V1, zImage 25/7.
Using this combination for two days now and didn't have a single SOD during this time... only two or three times a freeze for few seconds, but afterwards Android resumed working.

Sod is related to the Sharp branded lcd panels which are in the Tmo US phones and some of the later batches of the Euro HD2.

Been using dans13 build with cotullas no speddy zimage. My Rom right now MIRI 17.6 and Radio 2.12.50.26. No SOD report here just couple of freezes now and then. Good battery life. I have to say that I disabled the Auto lock in Windows with HD2 tweak. The first time I tried android on hd 2 i got the SOD, but with this combination and disabling the auto lock been running smoothly. just my 2 cents.

Well what I don't get is when I started trying Android on my tmo hd2 I didn't get the sod but now I do. if its the screen why did it start now?

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn waiting for new zImage... Seems that I have a sharp panel... How can I check this?

I've read the same but i think a lot of it is just down to individual ROMs & radio builds, as when android started on hd2 everyone said turn off backlight but mine was never on high nor did i alter any settings as when haret kicks in it turns off all windows functions altogether so you can't have any cross network/OS issues, winmo is supposed to be cut off. although saying that if android is only running off sd how can you remove sd and still run android for 1hr or more? but that's a different topic.

If you have a Tmo US HD2 just use Cotulla's 7/23 zimage and you should not get sod. If you use 7/25 zimage, you WILL experience sod! If you experience sod with 7/23 zimage, then the likely culprit is your sd card. Reformat and try again. If that doesn't work, you need to try a different card.

I am using the 7/23 with chucky's rom, and i was fine all day yesterday but this morning i got 4 sod in 15 minutes, and everytime i rebooted after that. I changed my Radio to 2.12.50.02 and i turned off the sleep thing in WM, and so far haven't had a sod in about 3 hours.

Best Android Combination

What do you guys think the best Rom and android combination is. i have tried a few and want to know what is working best for you.
thanks.

I'll bite, even though "Best rom/build" threads are usually shunned.
I use Energy rom for windows and shubcraft for Android. I use a full energy rom because I still use windows from time to time. Shubcraft is preferred for me because of performance and it feels native to my HD2. It tells me in the 'about' section that I am using an HTC HD2 as opposed to a Desire or Nexus One. Something about that just makes it feel right for me.
My combo works well but I do put the time in to fully explore and find solutions to minor problems. I believe that rom/build compatibility is not a huge issue at this stage. In my experience any rom works well with any android build. To get it working properly it takes more than just the "right" combo.
It would be more beneficial to have a thread with "Non compatible rom/builds" rather than best combination.

i change both of mine all the time but right now it is mattcnexus1.1 for andorid and artemis for windows. with this setup i never get sod and only get screen freeze if auto rotate is on

I've been having good luck with a combo of VBN Black on the windows side & the latest Shubcraft on the Android side. So far the only real issue I'm having is occasional data errors, laggy GPS, and some programs not wanting to install/work. And, with occasional data usage & 2-3 hrs of streaming bluetooth audio at work, I still have about 50% battery left by 5. No heat issues either

my windroid combination
Windroid combination are as follows:
Artemis V30.0 WWE (winmo) + SubCRAFT V1.4d (non Sense)
Artemis V30.0 WWE (winmo) + MattcFroyoSense V1.6b (Sense)
fast smooth daily use stability and fully functioning core elements

out of all the roms shubcraft is my fav still never has frozen or played up for a week today, with telstra rom radio 2.12.50.26

I'm copying polo (I'm literally going thread to thread telling him so ) - Energy Full WM along with ShubCraft. I am daily trying out other builds, but the non-cluttered, non-Sense interface and professional look of ShubCraft has won me so far.
I still do boot to WM occasionally (and actually enjoyed doing so again tonight), and just need to figure out a decent Exchange client, and an e-bookreader to match AlReader (I've tried 5 or 6 but none do it for me), and I guess I'll always keep WM in the background so I have access to TomTom. Apart from that, long live Android!

2.12.50.26 radio?
where do u get that? i can only see 2.12.50.02.2 in vbn files ( http://www.vbnfiles.com/HD2 Common/Radios/ ) and the radio thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787 )

I don't see any differences in the roms I tried... Miri, Chucky, Energy.
I just pick the rom that looks the coolest, which is Chuckyrom to me.

I jest and say that the best Android combination is the one with the fewest Windows as possible.

I'm suffering HEAVILY screen freezing... help me plz!

First of all I know screen freezing is a common problem that's not solved yet, but I really can't hold it any any any any more...
I got my HD2 just several days before(not t-mobile edition), now I'm using mattc 1.6b with 2.12 radio. Already replaced the original PPP with RMNET.
I don't know how about your situation, but my screen freezes about every 5 minutes, about 20 seconds a time, and if I turned my GPRS on(I'm not using 3G yet), it freezes almost EVERY 5 SECONDS... It's crazy
I can barely use my HD2 now, if there is no network connection, what could I do? I really don't know how to do, could somebody give me any advices?

It's a well known issue related to the G-Sensor. I can only recommend turning off screen rotation and trying other Android builds.
Edit: Here's a good thread to look at too, maybe one of these solutions might help you out. (link)

Thanks a lot, I'll try it.

try to boot the andoird as soon as you boot the WM it did help me or that issue

I was experiencing freezes with chunky droid, last night I changed to the latest vbn rom (full rom) (says he cooked in the power and performance tweaks) booted it calibrated g sensor, booted android no more screen freezes.. Using mattc 1.5c.. I didn't change my andoid rom..
Sent from my HTC HD2 Android

I am using the same rom. Infact the last few roms I tried I never experienced screen freeze - it works seamlesslessy perfect. It could be your SD card. Reformat it and reflash again

all the advice you need is in the thread for your build ...i promise

Reformat ur sdcard with SDFormatter V2.0, will solve ur problem...

remove the setCPU app and disable screen rotatation if you don't use it, i have no screen freeze at all after that

Yea. The setcpu gave me a lot of freezes too...

ok screen freezes is a known issue, and we do not need another thread on it.

[Q] Radio ROM or microphone problem??

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.
