I hear some people say Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 causes problems and to use Leo_RADIO_2.11.50.26** but then I see it a lot of peoples sigs they are all using 2.10.50.26 which I cant find a download link to.
Also I see on shubCRAFT something about a 1gb data.img and I have no idea what that is can anyone tell me?
Sorry if these are silly questions Im just really excited to get my Hd2 and want it to run Android perfect!
Thanks,
Ethan
EDIT: Oops I read "radio" as "rom", fixed my reply.
Radios, I don't think they're that important (as in, it doesn't really matter which one you have), but I just downloaded the new 2.14 which is Android friendly, they say it improves reception greatly. If it's true, then it probably is the best at the moment.
As for your other question about data.img, I would like to know too
i updated to 2.14.50.04 today and my reception didn't really get any better. i hoped it would because the reception in the area i live is very very poor. idoors i get 1-2 bars and nothing has changed appart from a higher battery drain. i was at about 5-6mA in standby now i can add around 2-4mA to it.
trying since an hour or something the new 2.15.xx radio, get about 3-5, sometimes 5-8 mA, i think its quite good
Can you give me a download link to 2.14 anyone?

Search for "HD2 radio rom thread"
Anyway. 2.14 radio works nicely. Getting 6mA standby with data on. Sync on adds 1-4 mA.

Exactly the same here w/ 2.12.50.02_2
The data.img is basically all the info uve fed android, like ur gmail account, any apps you install, messages, etc. The data.img is read from and written to, thus, everytime u reboot ur phone and go back to android, u don't start all over again. 1gb is larger than the original 512mb allowing u to install more apps. Other than that, I know nothing more about the data.img
I'm not pro so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
@ itsallsubliminal
No it's right
I just wanted to add that the data.img is like your internal storage in WM. It simulates the NAND for android. This is the problem with the battery drain issues, because this img is stored on your SD and the SD uses a little more battery than the internal memory. (maybe 1% per 2 hours in standby or something like that )
And I would recommend you the 2.14. radio, as it improved my signal quality. My data throughput is now about 5x higher than with the 2.12 radio and my standby is on the same level as before (3-9mA)

I think reception for us europeans won't get better in europe. Had the same experience minus battery drainage. That stayed about the same.

I'm European, more precisely from Switzerland. And my signal improved dramatically. Maybe it depends on your provider or the signal coverage?
hi! Where should I put the image file? I already have a fine tuned configuration of my Android OS. If I put the image now, will I have to start all over again? THNX

This was the original scenario:
When my phone is in standby, I get 42% of the time without signal.
I was using a 2.12 radio, and damn, half of the time people couldn't reach me or only after a while.
So here's the deal, if you have any trouble with getting signal,
just change your radio to 2.10.50.X
have a nice day
I currently use
RADIO_2105026

What radio are you running? Try 2.14, it can't hurt.
2.12, I already know the newest causes the same problem

sure, you should try a 2.10, the newer ones always seem to tend this way
okay: for al those who are in need of a proper radio, with 98% reception all of the time, use this one:
RADIO_2105026
I get only 1-2% without signal. maybe someone can cleanup this post and make it sticky, as it is I think, fairly important for ppl. to know they are almost half of the time out of range with a bad radio, for android a suggest a 2.10.50.X radio!
I think it has to do with your carrier, some Radio images work better with other carriers.
BTW, which app are you using to measure your signal strength?
I use battery indicator for measurement of % without signal. For signal strenght/dbm signal status bar, hope that helps you
I'd say it'll also have to do with the carrier. I know a handful of people with a 2.12 and have no reception problems, and likewise for 2.14. Users should definitely try out different radios, but I wouldn't going as far as saying 2.10 is the one and only.
Just to be an oddball around here, I'm on 2.14 right now and it has served me better than a 2.10
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
This thread is pointless, It is carrier dependant, why you should try several before starting threads about ones that don't work!
Some will give you better signal whilst giving quicker battery drain, others will be the opposite, others will give you a good balance, it's all down to trial and error, it's never the case of 'it doesn't work'
I'm running 2.14 and have no issue at all, full signal most of the time and after 3 charge cycles battery is great also, try a few radios for a few days each before coming to the conclusion they 'don't work'

<_< this thread is not pointless, and if it's carrier dependant, we could maybe make a sticky and ppl post results with there findings for carriers then.
All radio's work, but not all are even effective. And believe me, I tried like 50 radio's before.. 2.12 gave me great call quality but huge battery drain and signal drops, no radio is perfect, but carrier dependant, lol yes some carriers just suck, but I should have signal all the time, I'm on the two biggest networks of my country, providing coverage everywhere, and I tested those out, it really looks like the radio is more affecting it, ofc you will NEVER get the same results with any carrier, but when doing research, you will see that the radio affects your signal. Just try for your self in stead of telling me this thread is pointless. Some radios might be better for some networks, in that case you are right, but in case of battery drain, it is mostly due to the radio, maybe because the way it corresponds with the network/carrier.
i'm using 2.12.50.02.2. no probs here..
edit: for some odd reason I wasn't having any issue with the winmo rom but once i updated android to hyperdroid sense build it was bad.
now updated to the latest build
i have a TMOUS HD2, with big reception problems, it hardly gets a signal anywhere inside a building, i got Leo_Radio_2.14.50.04 radio, gigiline rom and nexus one port, maybe with android signal seems to be a little more stable, not stronger though. And battery life is like horrible, i think it's related with the reception problems (phones put in bad reception areas usually have bad battery life i noticed...). 35% in 14 hours of standby is too much consumption i think, isn't it?
Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
thx a lot!

most of it is due to that the device can never 'sleep' or enter an idle mode. which is very low power. So the phone is always consuming power.
However with both of the android roms i am using i can go a full day with out charging with high usage.
Could be several reasons:
1. Your WinMo ROM may not be Android friendly.
2. You may need to boot into Android as quickly as possible using Exceller's Boot Loader (set for 3 seconds) and ensuring that the key lights are on when Haret is loading.
3. You may need to boot up Android a couple of times in Normal mode and not Hot Boot mode. This seems to be the cause for many people.
My TMOUS phone using VBNDroid RC3 ROM, 2.15.50.14 radio, Mdeejay Froyo Sense Clean 2.3 build and Hastarin's 8.5.1 kernel with stock Sandisk card can run for a couple of days with light use. I also have SetCPU and NoBars to help reduce the battery drain even more. I am seeing 3-5mA drain on standby with 150-300mA with WiFi and app use. How much battery drain are you seeing?

Motoman234,
You most definitely do quick replies and great work. Checked your build thread and noticed you already answered this person's question. So I do not know why they posted the same question here and in your build thread, was there first in fact before this thread, so don't know why people do these double posts. Maybe the moderator could either move this thread to your build thread or delete it altogether.
I am having similar battery issues with my device. I currently have a tmo Hd2 w/ Energy rom winmo build using 2.15 radio and the latest mdj build on a class 6 8gb. With typical usage i.e. 30 mins in calls, 75 text, 30 min pandora, gmaps for traffic, 30 web pages like newegg or cyclegear, 15 actually read emails, and maybe 5 pictures. With this usage I am getting 6-7 hrs battery life if I leave the data and cellular line active. If I throttle the radios via airplane mode (its my second line) and use wifi for all connections I can get almost 2 days out of the device. I use setcpu but dont see a big difference in either case. Well just thought I could contribute some input. Thanks for everyones hard work.

first off your sd card (class 6) draws more power. and the kernel has a lot to do with it. these are all based off a new kernel. very different. get the extended battery its worth it
you could also try just turning off data connection, that way you still get calls and regular text, then you can turn on wifi to get everything you lost with data when you need it.
You guys can also check out an app called "SuperPower XDA-BETA" which is on XDA and also on the Android market. It has a ton of power saving features including turning off data when the screen is off automatically (much more than just this) just an example.
Here is the link to the development thread-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807989
Did you try to use the super power app? For me it has made my wireless connection stop working. WiFi still does but mobile data hasn't worked at all.

It worked fine for me but I didn't use it for long since I get plenty of hours out of my battery with heavy usage. It seems like the kind of app that works great for most but for some it doesn't.

I think standby powerdrain is now acceptable with latest build's/kernels..It mostly 3-8Mah...I don't think its much lower than that even in WinMo..because rated standby time for HD2 in ideal scenario (on which rating is done) is 480Hrs on a 1230mAh battery which gives ~ 3mAh standby drain..
Even During the call the drain is acceptable its mostly 220-250mAh with screen off...so a 1230mAh battery is going to give you approx 5.5 hour talktime which is again close to rated 6hr talktime of HD2 with WinMo...
The main problem is display and Android Apps...they draw huge power, and I think even Native android phones from Motorola, HTC etc are suffering from same too. I've seen Evo, tmobile touch 4g, droid x owners complain how their phone barely last 1 day with moderate usage and such...There's only one exception though i.e. Galaxy S which many people claim has good battery, other than than that i've not seen a single android phone of > 3.7'' display being praised for battery....
Hello all, just flashed WP7 and am loving the netflix and the sexy UI!
I would just like some feedback as to what radioversion some of you are using with this phone. I was using a "compatible" radio with an old android nand rom I was using, however I'm thinking that probably it's sub par for a WP7 setup.
I kinda have some complaints that callers can hear things quite loudly that normally go on in the backround "ruffling potato chip bags" sounds like super static noise lol.
Any insight is appreciated, thanks!
Bump... I would like to know as well!
2.15.50.14 but I have a problem with this version, high battery drainage in 2G network! Is somebody have same problem with this version?
Hi,
I had the high Battery drain as well with 2.15 Radio.
So tested 2.08 and 2.10.50.19_2, both seemes better because I could run on day with a battery load.
cheers
I am using 2.12.50. I get around 11 hours on my battery - with pretty reasonable usage.
Just flashed to 2.14.50, now I'm good.

Definitely INSANE battery drain with the phone just sitting, lost 50% power in about 5 hours of the phone just sitting there, with all stuff on manual sync too DEF giving 2.14 a go.
Hi, I am a complete noob so forgive my ignorance.
I installed Radio 2.15.50.14, then MAGDLR113 and finally WP7 8107.
Wow - I have fell back in love with my old HD2! Only problem now is a)reception and b) battery life.
Having read a few forums/threads I think i need to downgrade my radio to 2.14 but I can't find how to do this with MAGDLR installed - the old custom RUU's don't seem to work.
I am probably missing something really obvious but please help.

Does those Radio works with "T mobile" HD2 USA Version??
Hi,
I installed this morning this Rom on my MyTouch 4G. Everything was going good, until i got to my workplace and i realized that my T Mobile Signal Was Extremely weak, and i mean with and X on my signal Status. If i wanted some signal i would have to go out of the building. ( Something that never happens)
So, i would like to know if it is problem with this ROM, or if i have to "flash the radio" ( something that i dont know how to, to be honest) or what could i do.
I got so scared, that i tried to restore my Stock rom ( that i created it with Rom manager), but the thing is that now, all the apps that i had installed on the SD card, they dont show up ( they are not linked) AND the Signal Still is bad!!!!...
So, i dont know if i messed up the phone in anyway ( i did not do eanything extra while installing this new ROM) or what could it be
Anyone out there could help this guy?:-(....
Thanks!
I don't see how installing a ROM could suddenly cause your signal to plummet, especially when so many people are running that ROM without issues. In your case, I would upgrade to the latest radio since that may very well help your signal, and it's the one the dev of that ROM recommends anyway. See this thread for info on the radio flashing procedure and make sure you follow it exactly. If you don't have ADB set up yet, see this excellent thread. Most people highly recommend using ADB since it may prove very useful if you ever get into trouble in the future, but if you'd like alternative radio flashing instructions that avoid the use of ADB, I can provide those too.

The easiest way to calibrate you batter is with this app...very straight forward.
And yes, as I said in my previous post you "should" upgrade your radio. I used quotations because it isn't absolutely necessary, and you may very well have fine performance on the stock radio, but eViL does recommend the latest, which seems to work very well for most people.

both the stock rom and Virtuous Fusion are Sense builds, but the stock rom is a version of Sense called MySense. Virtuous has A LOT more stuff added onto the rom rather than stock MySense, thats why it uses a bit more battery life. as for the battery calibration, just download the app "Battery Calibration" by Nema and charge your battery until its full. once full, run the app and youre good to go. I wouldnt charge it again until the battery has completely drained as youll get a better reading. as far as the radios go, each radio works differently with everyone. just try them all out and see which one works best for you, comparing battery life/signal strength and coverage
Hum.... Im going to work on the radios, to see whats going on..
another thing that im feeling, is NOW when im upstairs, the phone disconnects itself from the WIFI ( soemthing that never happened to me before). Could it be because of the ROM?
BTW, im really loving this ROM. Its all useful and beautiful!!...
Hi guys,
Welll well, after 2 days on this ROM, all i can say, its been workign perfectly Fine.
I tried 2 apps to WIFI tether but look like they dont work, the only way i can do this, is thru the Hot spot that comes with the ROM, but i cant keep an eye on the Traffic. Any ideas?

You can easily view bandwidth usage on your computer.
If you're using windows, press ctrl+ alt +delete. Select start task manager (unless it already popped up). In windows task manager, click the tab labeled "Networking". Next, click view->select columns... Put a check next to bytes, bytes sent and bytes received. This will show you bandwidth total, uploaded and downloaded respectively in terms of bytes. 1024 bytes = 1 megabyte, 1024 mbytes = 1 gigabyte.
I'm sure other OSes (linux, osx) offer this simple tool as well.
Note: the data session its reset to 0 after restarts and wireless network connection. So, take a note of it before restarting or repairing the wireless connection.
