Hello,
Tried several Android builds, most of them except shubCraft are TERRIBLE when you call someone and people on the other side can't understand what you're saying. I had a friend already asking me which phone do I use, I said HTC one and he replied he'll never buy an HTC phone because of how ****ty he can hear me.
It's not my phone or signal strenght - because in shubCraft build people can hear me okay, winmo aswell, plus i have 5bar signal.
Chefs, can you please check your build's voice quality first?! HD2 firstly is a phone, winmo/android/software h4cks come as second. I love playing with "cheffing", builds, roms, software, etc, but at the same time I want to simply be able to make a call like you can with any 10-15 year old mobile phone.
What radio are you using?
Using 2.12 radio
ive not used a shubcraft build but i have not had issues with not people hearing
i've this probleme ...i already test several radio....2.10 2.12 2.14 and 2.15
Of course chef's check they audio quality, look at what's written on the latest tweet: http://twitter.com/CotullaCode
I'm using radio 2.12.50.02.2 and honestly its brilliant, no complaints

Hello,
I'm using my HD2 on the french network of Orange.
I previously owned a P3600 and a HD1. With both of these phones I had a strong network signal inside my house (H with 2 or 3).
My HD2 is switching all the time between HSDPA, edge and GPRS.
I'm very disappointed with its network sensitivity.
Are there other users experiencing similar troubles ?
Thanks
Sebastien
+1 to that.and i am havinng another problem.
every time my phone switches from H to 3G i cannot connect to the internet.but when it goes back to H everything is back to normal.
Yes, having the same issues. Very poor signal. Every time I pick up the phone, I lose the signal completely. I have to put it down after composing a text, wait for the signal to come back and then send it.
Hopefully a future radio update might improve it.
Yes agreed - having very similar issues. My phone is also continually switching between 3G and GPRS. It does this seemingly at random. I do not change the way I am holding the phone, nor am I moving. doesn't seem overly good to me.
I seem to have form for buying phones that have poor reception quality. My previous phone (HTC G1) was just the same.
My wife has had a Nokia N95 then recently a Nokia 5800 - these have both had a far better and more stable network reception.
Ok i'm not alone !!!
I really need a new radio ROM !!
PLUS 1 more!
I AM really disappointed to pay 615 EUR for that ****! Of course the HD2 is not trash but the radio unit (with stock radio rom) is it indeed.
see signature for details.
Yes, even the stock Radio rom of my HD1 was far better than this one !
+1 more.
Even in an areas where the signal normally was great with my Kaiser it is now totally gone.
It's nice to have such a wonderful internet machine and not be able to find a good network to use it
There is a 1.48 TEST rom floating in the rom development subforum.
This has improved the signal tremendously for me as it has a new radio.
Proceed with Caution though as it is a TEST Rom, not supported from HTC.
You will lose your warranty if your phone develops a problem and if you need to send it in for repair with this Rom.
Once that has been said, its a great Rom with a lot better signal and a lot better battery life at least for me

Sorry, I'm new to WM. Is a TEST rom an official, beta ROM or some sort of custom build?
Its a beta Rom coming from HTC. It is official but not final. It is a Test
Yes, sorry to hear that guys, my hd2's radio is a **** as well. Same symptoms.
Hope a new ROM will solve this issue.

Apparently some new ones are shipping with 1.48 so there should be a stock build up soon.
Mine's due for delivery tomorrow so with any luck it will already have 1.48
Cool this new rom seems promising.
I will try it tomorrow I think !
I wonder if the crappy 3G and H (hsdpa) signal level is a 'local' ROM issue or is it common to all HD2 (WWE). Most reviews I'd read praise the reception capabilities of HD2.
I plan o migrate from HD to HD2, but if this is the case then I intend to wait till a better (official) radio is available.
me too. My previous HD had fully 4 bars 3G all the time in my flat. Now my HD2 switches between 3 and 4 bars. It has definitely worse radio reception than HD had. But only because of this I won't reinstall everything, I think a new official radioROM (and xSPL) will be out in a couple of weeks.
Kchris, yours seems very usable
On mine, the networks switchs all the time between H and E and G
What is very strange is that some people aren't experiencing any trouble with the network sensitivity.
Maybe it's just our phones which have a hardware trouble ???
That's weird, I have the WWE 1.43 ROM and the reception is actually better than on my old P3600.
It's also almost always on HSDPA (4 bars most of the time), it only switches to 3G on rare occasions (or after a soft reset, before the data connection of course )
What is the ROM version you guys have?
Hi there
I know there are a lot of great roms available now thanks to all the developers here.
I am still using the upgraded UK_orange 6.5 relased on tosh website..
I can hear the callers but they can not hear me properly on the other side, my voice breaking and crackling.
The only thing that would make me port one of these custom roms available here is if the sound quality is fixed.
Which one are you using now with no sound problems at all?
Thanks
Are you using the newer 6.5 update which came out on March rather than the earlier 6.5 update which came out in October? I found my sound problems were mostly fixed by the March update, although I did find I had to do a hard reset after the upgrade before I really noticed the improvement.
The reason I ask is that for some strange reason Toshiba never updated their website when their second update came out and it misinforms people saying they should not update if they already have WM 6.5. Some people heard about the update, went to the website and naturally assumed they already had the latest update because of what it said, and are needlessly living with terrible call quality as a result.
I'm guessing you probably have already checked but I thought I'd mention it.
I've recently tried ffboy's sense beta2 sense Rom with the radio version 5005.1600.05 and I had bad call quality with that, but others say that radio has been perfect for them. If you look further down you'll see that this has already been discussed and the conclusion was that there is no easy answer to this question at the moment. The only way is to try each Rom for yourself. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully though.
thanks.
I have the latest official MARCH version but it did not solve the problem.
I also have been following all the feedback by all the tester on all devs "Nosker,November5,Aragon85 and ffboy2009" roms but I could get a clear picture of which one is with the issue fixed..
hence I am looking forward to Android on this device and let see how it goes..
Any rom with 5005.1700.05 or 5005.1600.05 radio has no sound quality issues.
Hello,
right Joous, seems to be some phones out you can install what ever you want, quality is pur. In modaco or ppc found some threads say telling its hardware7 lot dependend.
@ computerbar, you should test a custome rom, normally they are without issues. if you still have give your mobil back or change it during warranty.
regards

Are you sure? It wasn't true for me. I had a bad experience with 5005.1600.05 (as I already said). Some others said its perfect for them, but others have said it gave them poor call quality. I don't know if it depends on the country, but it might. I'm in the UK in a 2g area.
I haven't tried 5005.1700.05 yet, but I'm trying it tomorrow.
Hi all,
as the title says i'm totally new here with my 6 months old HTC HD2. Reason for participating XDA is the need to learn something about this phone. My former phone, the TYTN2 was a nice one. The HD2 isn't that great in my opinion. Well not yet i hope
Anothere reason is trying to get Android working on the phone. Tried is last night and didn't work out. Both eclair and froyo. Been reading for hours about radio roms etc etc and now..... i'm lost
Regards from Holland!
It will take you a while, but reading through the threads yourself is always better than having people show you what to do. I had my hd2 for about 3 months before I decided to change the rom on it. I've now got the Energyrom.
There are no specific or best ROM and radio combinations, it just depends which is best for you through trial and error. Just make sure you read all the instructions carefully, otherwise you will end up bricking your phone.
As for Android, it's only an alpha release. So it won't always work for everyone, you'll just have to be patient until a more stable version has been made.
Morning Dave,
you're right there. I know first reading the forum and try it yourself. Tried it till 1:30am this morning and read about the radio roms. Then my brain got overloaded and went to bed
Thought it was easy to do (regarding the Youtube i saw) but i'll have to wait, read and study more....
Manilla 2.5.19202525.0
ROM 1.43.404.1 (70124) NLD
Radio 2.04.50.22
It can be straight forward, it's just the first hurdle of installing hspl, new radio then the new rom. After you've done the first one, you'll have no problems changing to other custom roms.
hey if you aren't using it yet,
i want to invate you to tweakers.net http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1412242/last
her you can talk in NEDERLANDS.
for questions about your phone
go to you tube and search for how to instal hd2 roms and youll pretty much get this forum
How can you even compare the TYTN2(Kaiser) to the HD2(Leo)? The Hd2 is eons beyond the Kaiser. I had the ATT Tilt version of the TYTN2 and now the Hd2. I've also experimented with cooked roms via XDA for both devices. Take the time to explore custom roms for your HD2 and you will see the real capability of this device. I would also look into the android port for the HD2. It is now at a usable stage and expands the use of the phone by a large margin.
i have a TMO HD2
OS-5.2.21892
Manilla Version-2.5.20121412.2
ROM-2.13.531.1
Radio Version-2.10.50.26
Protocol Version-15.39.50.07U
I have pretty good service, and have been searching for a better Radio. I am a US TMO user, in southern New Orleans, La.
This thread is for best users in my area or around my area that have used different radio roms to increase call/ and 3g quality,
thank you
Your best bet would be to just start trying them. I know it's great to have somebody else telling you what has worked best for them but it's just that. What one person might see as good another might not. One person might see better reception but huge battery lose as acceptable while another person might take a hit with reception for better battery life. There is only one person that can answer that question for you and that is yourself.
right now im using chucky's rom latest version with radio 2.10.50.26~2 with bangsters adnroid rom and i get tmobile's H rather than 3g although sometimes in some areas around new orleans i get a E signal but its pretty good for the most part
Based on the what folks have been posting in thread below, you have the best radio for call quality (but it uses up battery). Another radio version (2.12.50.02) has better battery life, but poor call quality. I read all 38 pages, but for tl;dr, that's the gist of everyone's experiences.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669733
I was also using 2.10.50.26 for the longest time but it has a lot of problems with android roms............. that's if you ever decide to start using Android.
Okay, so the only thing that has me still thinking that WM6.5 is still superior to Android is the depressing quality of A2DP in the Android builds for the HD2.
I mean, granted it's higher quality than listening to music via the hands-free profile, but it is woefully lacking when compared to the A2DP coming from WM6.5 on my HD2.
I found a thread of Evo owners who are similarly upset over this, and there seems to be one ROM variant out there that addresses this for Evo owners, so surely this must be something that can be fixed on the ROM's for the HD2? (also, RIP Leslie Nielson)
The thread is here
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9888
Has there been any research into what (if anything) users can do to better the quality of A2DP on Android?
Yes.. thank you for sharing this issue with us.. i hope google will fix this bug.. it just gives some white-noises in a music! i can't describe it
EDIT: Check this out, someone actually found a way for it!
is this wat u mean? or im showing something off (fast forward to 1:38)

while reading this issue 9888.. i found out that it was fixed on CM 6.1
Can any developer take a look at this for the sense roms?

Check out this thread! Loads of us have been asking the same question for a while now. I wonder if it's fixed in Gingerbread...anyone tried it?
I have tried Cyanogen's new Gingerbread build on my HD2 and for the first time, I heard crisp, quality A2DP over my phone. It was awesome. However, I want to continue using my Froyo sense build so really would like to see a fix. It's possible....we just need a genius or 2 to work it out! I wonder if Cyanogen is contactable?
I am using the NAND stock Desire ROM on my HD2, and my AD2P is working flawlessly with my Sony Xplod unit in my car. HTC phones always worked good for me.
