Strange problem in HD2 for 2.10+ base rom (need help)

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

Which ROM, HSPL, Radio, Android version? Post YOUR combinations!

hey,
i am just interested what combination of rom, hspl, radio-rom and android version everyone of you is using. I am reading that some persons have no problems, other have big problem and they are using the same android version. So if you want to give everyone some information, just write down something like:
ROM – HSPL – Radio_ROM – Android_version – what is not working
If you don’t like the thread, you simple should not answer. But I think that people who have problems are interested, what combinations the persons have who are using android without problems.
My combinations:
Chuckydroidrom 5.8.10 – HSPL 2.08 – Radio 2.12.50.02_2 – Mattc1.4
everything works fine, but the market for example is still laggy (and I have the problems everyone has who is using mattc1.4)
sorry for my bad English, I am german and my last lesson is years ago

Artemis V25 FRA – HSPL 2.08 – Radio 2.12.50.02_2 – MattcFroyorc1.4
All features works as designed but huge latency sometime with the interface : phone blocked for 3 or 5 sec then I got control back.
When enabling audio speaking when calling sometime the call failed or the audio speaker is not working : I've to recall my contact.
thanks a lot for your work. I had a G1 before HD2 and I'm glad to experiment again the Droid adventure. This I couldn't not do without all the "Droid members" and "Linus Torvald".
Keep on going
Kind regards

After many tweaks and tries... I am 100% happy. NO ISSUES except camcorder of course.
It is rock solid, fast, and most of the time I forget this is not a "true" android loaded device.

[Q] Telstra T9193; Android Woes

Hi all,
Having a problem getting Android to run on my Telstra HD2. I do the following:
+ Run CLRCAD; all good
+ Run HARET; all good until -- 5 or 6 lines of the linux screen appear and then it hangs, or the screen goes blank depending on the Android build that I try running.
I have an Australian HD2 with the following specs:
Model: T9193 (Telstra)
OS: 5.2.21869
R: 2.07.51.22_2
G: 15.32.50.07u
D: 1.72.82124
I am using the standard SanDisk 16Gb Micro-SD card. I have tried a number of Android builds from gamesquare.co.uk with no luck.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get this running on the stock Telstra ROM?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Peace..

Probably need to upgrade your rom
and radio. Look at some signatures of people who say their build is working good.

I didn't really want to upgrade the ROM and radio since it'd void my warranty..

RE: Telstra woes
I notice you are running 2.07.51 radio. I reckon it's your radio to be honest. I run 2.12.50.02_2 on mine. I have had problems with radios other than x.xx.50.xx radios. There is a link somewhere in here to all the working radios (I think in the definitive guide. Don't worry about warranty issues, if you ever need to deal with that, just flash back to the factory rom (but I take no responsibility .
Cheers

Definitely need to change the radio. You need a .50 radio. That also means you need to put HSPL on the phone. However, be aware that Android is not very stable yet. I couldn't get WiFi working and had all sorts of problems getting it to talk with Outlook. Went back to stock Rom highly modified (CHT etc)

Hmmm indeed the radio could be the problem. I use the 2.07.50.22_2 radio (although my G and and D values are also different from yours) and I've had no problems.
This way if anything catastrophically goes wrong with your phone and you're unable to flash the old radio back hopefully they won't notice
EDIT: Forgot about HSPL, thanks iandg.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm going to bite the bullet... I've just installed HSPL; no problems.. Now to find a radio update..

I have actually been using this as my main OS for the last 2 builds and it is really usable now. I have it syncing direct to my outlook server at work no probs at all (IT have hijacked it with security policies, but this is understandable). Other than that I reckon the DEVs here are absolute geniuses with how well this stuff is running.
Hope this is of some help

e1design, I have the same phone in the States on AT&T. Feel free to use my links below in my sig to get what I'm using. It works just fine. I haven't been on WinMo in weeks.

Done
Firstly, thanks for the replies in this thread.
I have to say that I've read it many times before: "Try the search function" - well it works wonders. With the information posted in thtis thread I was able to piece it all together and I now have Android on my HD2!
There are still a couple of things to iron out [WiFi, battery life and such] but in all a very worthwhile exercise.
Thanks again to the thread responders, and if you're in the same place as I was a week ago wanting to get Android on your HD2 - search on the keywords in this thread and you'll find it's as easy as can be.

Androis on T9193
Am totally thrilled to learn Android can be installed on the T9193.
Where are the best locations to source ROMs?
Suggestions on which are better and why?

Steps to Android..
Look at my sig and go from there..

I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but I'm wondering if any of you using a Telstra HD2 on AT&T (Cingular for me) here in the US have a stable Android install? I've been struggling with this for a long time now. I love Android but I can't get a configuration that will run longer than about 10 hours most of the time. I've gone through all the radios from 2.12.50.02_2, 2.14.50.02, and 2.15.50.14. I've switched my Windows Mobile ROM from Dutty CDLC v15 to OzDroid v1.11, I've switched my Android build from mattc froyo sense v1.8 to froyostone sense v3.2. I've gone through a couple different Linux kernels, currently on hastarin #8. No matter what I do I end up with about a 10 hour life before the device hangs. I have seen improving PPP performance with the different radios and kernels, but the overall device stability is the biggest problem. Could anyone using the Telstra HD2 for Android please post the configs that worked from them on their devices and include what kind of uptime you've achieved? I'm hoping this would really help me. Thanks in advance.

Ok For me I have the telstra HD2 and this is my Config.
Pretty much the latest of everything

I tried schubCRAFT 1.5 and it had audio issues. (and a few more whose names I don't remember)

good info, i've had the issues as well with the 3.14...luckly nrg rolled back to avoid the audio issues and other problems

What kind of audio issues you're talking about?
I have used radio 2.14.50.4 comes with stock 3.14, but it gave me some echoes with some builds, then I reverted back to 2.12.50.02 and didn't any problems with it.

Ok, I will add this to the list.

Audio issues
I dont know whether it is audio issues or due to signal interference,this is what i did and found out
1) i installed the miri rom that froyostone recommends and the radio 2 14 50 04, i called my friend who was in the same house (with my home wireless on) there was a lot of echoing as soon as i turn the speaker mode on on either phones(other phone is samsung highlight).there was minimal echo present when i did with speaker off.
2)i flashed the new energy rom standard build and installed the radio 2 10 50 26 , and the froyostone 3.1 android build and called my friend who was at home with home wireless on.there was minimal echo with both or either phone speakers on when calling but none with speakers off. Then i did the same after my friend returned to his home and i called him from my phone(hd2) with either / both speakers on there was no echo on either ends.
Conclusion i dont know why i was getting the echo in my house, is the us version slightly different in hardware other than the rom/ram on it. Or the radio signal frequency interference, you can try this at home and please let me know what happens.
I dont know whether darkstone uses us hd2 or non us hd2.but the
energy rom is highly specific for us hd2 model ,i dont have any issues with it now.

US HD2
I think it will be good for all us hd 2 users to use the us hd2 specific roms for android testing for better results

I tested many Android ROMs... as some one already said.. some builds has robo voice issues.. so you can't say that all android builds are OK with TMOUS
Keep testing and update the thread

If you have had all PPP builds (which I suspect you have), these data drops are normal. There are ways to improve stability, look around in the development section and your build thread, or switch to an RMNET build if you really want a stable (but slower) connection. If you're on RMNET already, you'll need someone more advanced to help you but your build's thread would be a good starting point.

Ok cheers, are my ROM and Radio ok as far as you know ?

The ROM and Radio is ok. In the android dev section you'll find this wrapper. Try it out. And I recommend you to use hastarin 8.5 kernel. Seems to improve the connection stability again.
Edit: Hastarin 8.5
