Robotic voice - Any workarounds?

Realize this has been covered many times before but searching is simply turning up too many negative results.
This is the only thing stopping me from using android daily. Can't seem to get around it.
Are there any tricks/quick hacks?
I am using Xannytech 2.3 and Radio 2.12.
Latest Froyo (Dans) and Updating with daily zimages from Cotulla

Use one of the compatible roms. Miri, elegancia, others...

Is this guaranteed? Noted there are a few issues where it does not seem to work?
Is there a list of supported Roms?

i have the same problem, using Dutty's Nu Era ROM wih Android recommended 2.10 radio, would rather not switch since i have been using Dutty's ROMs for a long time and like the speed and stability of his ROMs. thanks!

bad echo
Thank you for starting this….I chngd to the OzRom 4.10, which solved the robotic voice and Extreme noise from my background. My callers are still getting a bad echo, these are the steps taken
1. Boot from windows mobile
2. Kill tasks
3. run Clrcad.exe then Haret.exe
My Specs….

i give you 100% gurented solution ...
robotic voice is due to ur radio , as 2.12 radio always do this , flash 2.10.50.26 radio and ur voice will be normal ... and it will work

I've tryed a lot of rom+radio combination. Robotic voice is gone but Echo still a big problem for me.
Please if you are an european HD2 user and haven't echo problem write detailed ROM and Radio versions. Maybe it helps to us
ex:. |WWE|LEO| Energy |Jul 24| 21911| * CHT + Radio xxx

robotic voice is not radio related , is only rom related. echo can be radio related but not robotic voice . tell ppl the true man .

I am using an old version of Energy ROM (4th of July) with a 2.10.50.26 radio and I don't have the robot voice issue. I do have the echo problem though...

Here are my specs with no robot calls:
TMOUS 1024MB
MIRI 17.6
HSPL3
2.12.50 Radio
CableDet NoSpeedy ZImage 7.23
I put clrad.exe in startup , I disable sense & use titanium. Run haret.exe, no issues for me.

When you say you put clrad.exe in starup, do you mean :
- You put the .exe into /Windows Folder
- Or you add the code to startup.txt ?

First i tried different Android builds with Duty Rededemption V2 an 2.10 Rom. Didn't work. Now with the newest zbuild (23.7) an the Android build Tarantula V1 and Dan's 2.2 Sense Prew no more robotic Voice. Seems there is even no Problem with the rom just a problem with the development

Just run it by clicking on it. There will be no application poppin up. It just does its work.

Just flashed ti Miri's latest. 17.6 I think?
Robot voice all gone. Sounds is good. Sweet. Still running 2.12 radio
I now notice that I have no camera or torch lite and camera does not work however is used to work. Ideas?

My setup is:
EU HD2
MIRI 17.6
HSPL3
2.12.50 Radio
CableDet NoSpeedy ZImage 7.23
I have bad background noise too!
As it seems there are some other hardware differences between the EU and US models than just the RAM/ROM!!

i disagree i'm using 2.12 radio with miri elegancia v10.0 without any issue

I've tried both 2.10 and 2.12 Radios! No difference with Miri's, NRJ's or Dutty's ROM! All possible combos I've tried does not produce a clear voice for the other party! This is on an EU HD2!

[Q] Android on stock HTC ROM?

Hey,
Just wondering if anyones tried running Android on a stock HTC ROM?
I'm thinking of re-flashing the original Windows Mobile ROM and seeing if it will be able to launch Android from SD Card?
I've heard someone say it has been known to work?

I will be tonight when I finish work
Thought i'd ask ahead just in case anything I need to know. I want to have the stock ROM just because everything works on it and battery life is pretty good, but then can have Android to play around on

I am just using Android on my Stock Rom for the last 20 days.
Its working fine but the problem is instability in the Working of Android.
I have tried all the versions with different Radio versions.
Among them the best suit is Shubcraft1.4d the latest one and Radio version 2.11.50.20

I've been running Android on my "original" stock TMOUS ROM for about 3 full weeks now. At first, I ran Android with the stock 2.08 radio for about 4 days. For some reason, I rebooted my device and I was never able to get Android to run successfully again. I kept getting WSOD during boot-up and BSOD when trying to wake from sleep.
Finally, I flashed my radio to 2.12, and I've had absolutely no problems. I've seen many complaining that the stock TMOUS ROM causes problems, but I think it has more to do with radio, zImage, and build combinations than WinMo ROMs.
Good luck

just loaded android on stock 1.48.707.2 rom but with updated radio 2.12 version seemed to work o.k but froze a bit here and there seemed useable apart from the crashes

hmm, think tonight i will reflash to stock rom from HTC and then try radio 2.10 as per person further up, try it with various builds then maybe try radio 2.12... i will post my results within the next several hours

I think there are also differences between TMOUS and our European ROMS. Especially because of the Radios. I thought about Flashing back to complete Stock ROM SPL, etc. That way I could never get any problems with the warranty etc. I will try it when I find time.

I tried on the stock ROM and sadly everytime Android would go through the initial boot it would just display some text in the top left, then stop, then the text would slowly "fade" from bottom right to top left and the backlight of the screen remains lit but the phone hangs with nothing displayed
I've now put on the phone:
Windows Mobile ROM: Elegancia E-CHT ROM
Android Version: Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense
Radio: 2.11.50.20
I've put a shortcut to CLRAD.exe and HaRAT.exe on my home screen on WinMo. Now I can use Windows Mobile for stability and battery life and working Wi-Fi Tethering etc, but can boot into android for games, apps, smooth interface and most of all, bragging rights(can now ram it into my friends with iPhones faces)
While i'm here now i've changed my set up completely, i'll explain what its like
With this set up, i've found the phone is some wait smoother, the screen still freezes but not for as long as before.
I've found sometimes the interface can sometimes be slightly sluggish but not enough to be a problem
I've called speaking clock and the voice was very clear
Overall very happy and now have the best of Android and the best of Windows Mobile

On my normal WinMo Rom I've used for quite some time now (some weeks before trying the first Android build) everything runs without freezes etc. So far 1 SOD and 2 freezes without a visible reason. And I'm running mainly Android for 5 weeks now. So it seems I was quite lucky to have an Android compatible ROM without having to flash some stripped down ROM. The only thing I'm missing in my ROM are fast boot times but those can be improved by disabling Sense.

I use stock ROM 1.66 ELL but Radio changed to 2.12 (with stock radio didn't work)
I have tried several Android builds and all works as supposed to work.

I have been testing all the Android versions using stock 1.66 WWE (just updated radio) with no problems at all. I have never used a custom WM ROM on my HD2, and have found Android to be on a par with what others have reported. Now running Mattc + Froyo w/Sense 1.6b with no problems so far.

I use stock ROM SVE 1.66 but radio changed to 2.10. I have been testing several builds and they all have worked ok.
The best build for me has been: darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1.

well, i have 1.48 wwe stock rom, never had any issues with any of the android builds...only changed my radio to 2.08.50..
i suggest darkstone's builds..either the hd2froyo or the froyostone series......no issues whatsoever

Yeah maybe it was my combination of radio/build. I'm now using the Mattc Leo Froyo build and the Elegencia ROM and isn't too different from the stock ROM and has most of the apps still installed

No problems running on stock tmoble 1.72 rom just had to update radio to one ending in 50

I’m a newbie at this so apologies if I confuse rather than help.
I bought my HD2 off eBay so don’t know if it’s been flashed or not. I didn’t attempt to flash or change the radio version myself just in case I brick it!! I scared like that
I am currently using ShubCRAFT 1.4d_1GB (hard reset and switched Sense off in WM for quicker boot) and it works perfectly, good battery life and fast .
WM Software details:
OS version: 5.2.2189
Manila version: 2.5.20113626.0
ROM version: Miri HD2 ROM – V4.0 WWE
Radio version: 2.07.50.27_2
To answer your question, and given the above are the standard versions, yes you can run android on ur standard HTC HD2 thanks to the awesome developers.

I am using a windows mobile stock ROM (1.66.405.2) with radio version 2.12.50.02 and mattc leo + froyo w/sense 1.6b Kernel: michyprima 2.6.32.9 #70. I have had no problems with wifi, 3g, sound, or calls. Everything works fine and pretty good battery life and quite stable.

Yours isn't a stock ROM! You have bought your HD2 with a flashed ROM on it.

Thank you Raudi1
I bucked up the courage to install a new radio after I submitted my post, and in the process realised that it had HardSPL on it already! which one of you sold me your 'touched' HD2!?
So I updated my radio version to 2.12.50.02_2 - yes I'm proud

[Q] Andriod Compatability

Just a quick question, is there any Andriod ROMS that are compatable with the the new tmo release (ie 2.14 radio) without getting the robot voice?
I have tried several of them and they all load up and run, but they all have the robot voice, should I reflash an older radio?
Thanks in advance.

there is no problem with radio 2.14 .. but with the rom ..
which rom are you using??
and all the latest "custom" roms dont have the problem of robotic voices for android

From what I've read in other threads it seems to be the 2.x.51 radios that have robot issues. 2.x.50 all seem to be okay.

Just using a cooked beta release of the stock 3.14 Rom from TMO, I have tried so many I forget who did this one.
ROM ver 2.00.1
Radio ver 2.14.50.04
I will stick with this radio and try a different ROM again, maybe it will work this time.
Thanks for the help

[Q] New rom 3.14 and Android = Robotic audio during a call...HELP!

Dear Friends i've installed the new rom from HTC 3.14 with radio 2.15.
Android start and work fine but the audio during a call is robotic as an first version of Android.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks at all.
Excuse for my english: i'm italian!

2.15 has been hit with many problems for us HD2 Android users, so that would be my first thing to change. If that doesn't fix it, try a more android friendly WinMo Rom but stick with 2.14 while you test.

Thanks for your answer.
I've installed Android with old stock ROM 1.66 and radio 2.15 and this work fine.
Only with new original ROM HTC 3.14 audio is robotic.
The new radio does not allow HSPL ...

Robotic voice is mainly caused by the winmo rom, and the use of new audio drivers. Flash the winmo to a different rom like Energy, ChuckyDroid, or VBN.

I had major stability issues with every 2.2 Sense based nand rom I tried. Then I installed tytuns gingerbread 2.3 based on the nexus one and have never looked back (current version is 2.5)
You wouldn't know this wasn't an Android phone to be honest. almost everything is prefect, except for laggy HQ video recording that's now been fixed in the new version. Im so content with v2.3 though I won't be upgrading til something major happens!

Are you using a NAND Android ROM or a SD card build? The reason I ask is most NAND Android ROMs work good with the 2.15.50.14 radio, and I have only read reports of the robot voice issue in threads for SD builds. Also if you are using a SD card build and you are still runningvWindows Mobile, ifthe Win Mo ROM is not a 3.14 or a 3.14 based ROM the radio will cause some issues with your HD2 such as frezes and such.
Edit: I looked back at your first post and I think you are running a NAND Android ROM so just disregard some of what I said. But I do recommended changing your ROM I use Hyperdriod check my sig for a link to it.
