How is YOUR HD2 Android running?

XDA, I'm a convert from the iPhone. I used to spend most of my time over at MMi. But the iPhone got boring after a while (had one for 3 years).
After spending a few days learning the ins and outs of you fine peoples' work, I figured we could start a thread to showcase the different combinations that people are using, in order to get the best results out of Froyo 2.2 on the HTC HD2.
This type of thread would have helped me by saving me a few days worth of trial and error!
HTC HD2, TMous, 1024, Running:
*Reformatted, Stock 16gb Micro SD
*HSPL3
*Chucky 23129 (tabs)
*Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
*FroyoStone_Sense.7z
*Media Pack (for ringtones/notifications)
Results:
*I finally have a daily functional, SMOOTH, operating version of Froyo 2.2!
*No SOD, no robot voice, etc.
*The only glitch I'll see is the touch screen (not often) being unresponsive, which a quick lock/unlock fixes.
*Not sure on battery life exactly, but it seems reasonable enough (if I wake up at 8, I'll have to charge approx 12 hrs. later).
What about the rest of ya?

I have a TMOUSA like you, running Elegancia V1 ROM, Class 4 8GB SD. I've never formatted the SD.....can't see a reason to since every Android build I've ran has functioned fine.
My Android of choice is mattc's Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b. I using a live wallpaper with setcpu and Advanced Task Killer to assist with keeping battery drain under control.
I've been a BIG supporter of WinMo and had some initial reluctance about migrating to Android, but I've pretty much taken a big bite of the bullet. Android is very nice, fast with tons of applications free for the using.
Lot's of talented developers and (of course) the genius of Cotulla creating the images we all clamor for.
Final thoughts:
No robo voice
runs smooth (even with live wall paper)
I get about 18 hrs out of fully charged battery - average 45 min calls, a few texts, check mail every few hours and read FBreader about two hours a day
Wifi & BT working, except no phone transfer to BT headset
GPS works fine and google navigator is the ****z!
I tried almost all the builds, but matt's is the one for me (right now, anyhow)

HTC HD2, European Version, one of the first Devices, Running:
*Sandisk 16gb Micro SD
*HSPL3 (2 days ago HSPL1.4 without problems)
*ChuckyDroidRom (2 days before RTT German ROM without problems)
*Leo_RADIO_2.11
*FroyoStone Sense
*Media Pack (for ringtones/notifications)
Results:
*I finally have a daily functional, SMOOTH, operating version of Froyo 2.2!
*No SOD, no robot voice, etc.
*The only glitch I'll see is the touch screen (not often) being unresponsive, which a quick lock/unlock fixes.

For me absolutely the same! Touchscreen could be better AND the "unlock screen" could be fixed, my text is under the black line, maybe its because of the german text?

Its running perfectly now. No screen freezes, no robotic voice. Its running well. I have darkstone froyo v2.1. My radio is 2.12
To keep the battery running good, i use a app called greenpower , advance task killer and setcpu .. my battery cab last all day!!! I use android as my main os!!!

DarkStone Froyo Series V1 here - battery is my only concern stopping me from making Android OS my primary - I can go from morning til late night on one charge which is not that bad but still WinMo has better battery life on my hd2

Wow! Thats impressive! Perhaps a rom change is in order for me! I am big on texts though, which tends to take a beat stick to the battery and brutally dominate it to about 12 hrs anyway.

PS: i don't use any cpu or task manager programs and my battery life is good. every 15 minutes email check, listen to music for about 30 mins and browsing via internet.
70 - 80 % of battery life
sure winmo was better/higher, but androids battery/energy system isn't fixed yet :/

Radio: 2.12
ROM: Miri's 6.5 Rom
Build: Mattc's with sense
Card: 16gb stock
First off, to my surprise battery life is not bad at all, in fact about the same as winmo with sense. The main problems I have faced are touch screen going unresponsive at times and some apps not working like flashlight. But... gps signal seems even stronger than on winmo, and yes, Google navigation rocks, better than most paid gps apps on winmo. Android has revived my hd2 and kept me from selling it. Speed is very good, better than winmo, better than my espresso. WiFi works normally, as does data. I think some of my touch screen issues are SD card related, but I don't think it will be long before we have a Rom and a lot of issues are solved regarding this, as well as the sleep of death issue. I thought I was getting sod's on this build but actually just didn't realize the green button turns the screen back on. XD
But all in all, Android has been the best thing to happen to my hd2. Oh and while typing his message I just realized how much better keyboard is on this than on winmo. Not even using swype.

Yea I run the same as you no sod, no robot voice, able to send and receive text, etc.. runs smooth for everyday use I was about to buy a Samsung Galaxy S cause I was getting bored with my hd2 but now there is no need I fell back in love with it

I've got a European HD2.
Running the ChuckyDroid ROM, can't remember what radio!
Got DarkStoneFroyo v2.1 which is awesome.
Buttery smooth and get about 21 hours of battery on a single charge!
Using an 8GB Class 4 Kingston microSD card.
One thing that amazes me is how good Flash 10.1 is.

Soo....I'm new at this so here's my info:
Tmousa Hd2 with HD2_Core_Cell_Eco_V3 ROM
FroyoStone_Clean
And a simple 1GB Micro SD Card
Works good for me so far. Except, no WiFi tethering.
I'm happy.

European HD2.
mattc's Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b.
Radio 2.12
MicroSD : 8 Gb Class 6
ROM:Any of them - I flash a lot (sometimes twice a day) and I don't remember having any problems with any rom.
the Battery life is good without any third parties applications.
I use now Android as my primary OS.
However I noticed that the sound is a little low so I put the volume to the maximum.

Running quite nice. A bit slow, and draining battery like a maniac! If someone would post a "how-to-increase-battery-life-guide" and make it sticky. Would be AWESOME!

theres no way you can get 20hrs out of it and your a hard user. i use my web all day and my battery dies in about 6hrs of hard web usage

Which radio are you using? I'm identical to you except that I still get the screen of death.

Best Radio for Android (test Darkstone froyo v1, v2.1, Mattcleo 1.6b, Shub's)

Hey guys, I didnt see any thread like this before so I think no one has taken the time to do this (hope to be right.) The thing is I tested the title listed Android Roms with different .50 radios raging from 2.08 to 2.12. I tested all this using MichyP R8, manusfreedom 11aug, and the used builds default kernels
I found specific radio irregularities that might be useful for the users out there who are still experiencing difficulties with their android builds and use this as a way to get a better result.
**Always remember that I have HSPL and therefore I can test other Radios. If you dont have HSPL, then you shoudnt do this.
All roms gave me the exact same response on both HD2s I own
R 2.08 - Robotic voice, overheating
R 2.10...26 - BSOD, constant screen freezes (more than usual)
R 2.11 - System freezed the first two boots on fresh install, some screen freezes afterwards but generally a improvement over all other.(BEST Result)
R 2.12 - Extreme battery discharge, overheats easily, low sound, signal takes longer to recover, signal constantly shuts down for over 10, 30 secs.
I will keep working on this. as far as I can tell, Radio 2.11.50.20 was the best of all. Im using SetCPU with Conservative 768mhz max/ 245 min. screen off 245/245 and I get around 15 hours of battery, almost no Screen freezes. I will be testing more Kernels and builds as they come out with good improvements in their respective readmes. Hope this was as helpful for you as it was for me.
Michyprima's (r8) Zimage caused system hanging under Mattcleo 1.6b. try another kernel

You think all the other 2.10 series radios will have similar issues? I have been using 2.12 and it worked fine with Froyostone, apart from the screen freezes. I am also having all the same issues as you with 2.12 and Mattcleo 1.6b. Signal bouncing up and down, data connectivity inconsistencies. I am definitely going to give 2.11 a try.

actually the 2.12 radio is the one that works best for me I've tested out on like 14 diff. HD2's it does Drain my battery like CRAZY but its the only one that gives me the most stability.
I think I've try'de them all but I will try the 2.11 radio again see how it works and report back.

there are 2 version 2.11.50.xx which is better??

2.11.50.20. thats the one

I've been using 2.12 all the way and it works fine with mattc 1.5 & 1.5b. No freezes, but it's true that it gets hot really fast and that battery is drained faster than with others.

With MattcLeo 1.6b and 2.11.50.26, constant hard system freezes. Not even usable.
Going to try 2.11.50.20

R 2.08
I've been using 2.08 for a while since flashing my WM Miri Rom and kept it when I went to the Froyostone Android. Seems fine for me. No robotic voices either.

yes, with 1.5b and 2.12 and I got the most usable Android experience thus far, but the screen freezes were very frequent.
6:10 AM Eastern
After playing with several variants I found that
Radio: 2.11.50.20 + MattcLeo 1.6b with RMNET to be the most usable combination so far. Screen Freezes are of course still there, but it seems that like OP says downclocking to 768 max lessens the frequency. Also I have noticed great battery life especially with 245 Max and 245 min profile set for when screen is off.

I am also running 2.11.50.20 from beginning and its just great!

Anybody have a link for 2.11.50.20?

i tried to download the radio ver 2.11.50.20 from here but when i try to flash it it tells me that the radio ver im going to update to is 2.10.xx.19

That's right, but you will flash 2.11.50.20 don't worry

It seems that with 2.10.50.20 radio, NRGZ8's Barebones Rom, and Mattcleo 1.6b RMNET, after about 2 hours of mostly problem free usage, Sleep of Deaths started coming on full force.

question about SuperHD2_v14

hi
i am running hyperdroid 1.7 on my hd2 now, but i have got some problems with it.
as i was looking for a solution for my problems, i saw there was an android os called SuperHD2_v14. and thought to flash it instead of hyperdroid.
can anybody tell me if that os is almost like hyperdroid? or is there much different. I have read that SuperHD2_v14 have a good battery life, compared to hyperdroid. is that true?

I haven't tried hyperdroid but I'm pretty satisfied with SuperHD2_v14. I checked current widget and sure enough it did eventually drop to 4 mA on idle. I got about 6 hours of heavy use or about 5 hours of 100% continuous use. I think for the most part the chef's claims are valid.
Note your radio... I had to back flash to an old radio, but I'm not certain it was required. I've heard that some with newer radio's are complaining.
Also on first boot be VERY patient. About 5-15 minutes at the "htc" screen. Subsequent boots are the normal 3-5 min.
BTW, I flashed WinMo to OzDROID 2.0 since it was recommended as a good pairing with SuperHD2. Also remember to light the keys before loading it. Being religious about that solved some of my issues.

HD2 WP7 - Which Radio are you using?

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.
Thanks

Does those Radio works with "T mobile" HD2 USA Version??

[Q] the best wp7 rom

what is the best wp 7.5 rom work withot problems on hd2 ?

i followed the advice in this thread, which was guided for TMOUS users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327106
i installed Yuki v2 ROM with the 2.15 radio. Things have been going pretty smooth.

thanks dear
but my hd2 not t-mobile

Mine isnt either, but the WP7 rom works, Kinda awesomely infact, the only huge issue I get is the freaking battery life (Both 2.12 and 2.15 radios.)

Hey i just followed that guide and it was great. My battery life seems fine, but i have to put it in usb mode to charge. I still need to test it more though.
p.s.
Not tmobile either. I'm Australian Telstra

Trail and error i guess, jus try different ROM and radios (SD cards too)
to far i tried Yuki V2 (smooth, and fast even data on 3g was fast) but battery drain is a killer, even with 2.12 radio
Pdaimatejam v2 - smooth, everything works, a lil issue with pinch and zoom (a little fiddley) bt batterylife is good, 10-16 hours on heavy use (2hours facebook, 200+txts, and whatsapp) [radio 2.12]
and HD20 v1.23b1 [radio 2.15] - smooth, everything works, battery drain over 3g on standby is amazing (over night only 5% battery drain) bt drains rapidly when on whatsapp and internet explorer.

When I use Windows (I prefer Android..) I use this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
Works fine, battery drain is high but that is the only issue.
Good luck!

Back to the future is good at multitouch and smooth but battery drain is so bad. For me, I need to last my battery using time much longer. 1 vote for 7740 v3 of Pdaimatejam.
Here is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
Version 3 still isn't uploaded, I'm using V3. Everything is smooth and fast as Back to future ROM, in addition, you'll get a better battery drainage(my battery isn't new but it run out in almost a day).
