Hi everyone,
I have been trying to find a way to fix the data dropping on my htc hd2 while running android, it is so frustrating because it happens all the time. I have tried different roms and no luck!
is there a right combo of radio/roms that works well together? if you have a close to perfect combo please let me know what it is.....thanks!

1) Use a radio version that gives you best reception.
2) Use a build that has letama version 0.7 ril wrapper (or greater)
3) Use a build that uses one of the newer kernels (8.2+ for hastarin's kernels, for example - see my sig)
4) Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9270810#post9270810 and use the options.smd and ip-up zip files attached to the post.
5) Optional - add the word "passive" into the beginning of the options.smd file.

8.2+ does indeed fix data drops? are you sure?
Data drops aren't truely fixed for everyone yet, but theres good progress. Check out hastarin new kernal and the "[Dev] Call for test" thread which usually hovers on the first or second page of this forum.
Data drops has not been fixed! Period!

However they have been reduced to a level of a minor inconvenience.
I'm using NexusHD2 build with 2.15.50.14 radio and vbnrom ROM and data drops is so rare! maybe you should try the combination. note: i didn't update the kernel or add a fix. it worked out of the box.

Not for me, unfortunately. I'm actually back on Hastarin's 7.x kernel because it is the most stable for me. I hadn't thought about changing my radio, though. I think I'll switch from 2.15 to 2.14.
I have been experiencing these issues also. The only thing I found to fix it is to stick with RMNET builds/kernels.
Had loads of issues lately with various builds which were by fluke PPP. So now using the NexusHD 1.7 build and followed the instructions to switch it to rmnet and data is perfect.
Can I ask what country you are in and what network you're on? I am UK t-mobile. My colleague has far less data drop outs on UK vodafone.
Thoughts welcome. Report back.
Yans.

data stable for almost a week now on PPP
I have not had any single drop for almost 1 week now.
I'm using the following:
HSPL 2.08
Radio 2.12.50.02_2
Winmo rom VBN Droid Reloaded2 oct 2010
Android version Mdeejay_FroYo_Revolution_v._1.5 and changed Kernel to MDJ S7 test, has green tinge pics with flash, but can be solved by setting WB to fluores.
Latest ril wrapper from letama 0.7 from 18-11-2010
Changed my phone settings to GSM auto (PRL) and DNS check set to allowed in hidden menu you can enter the menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone settings
Battery drain in standby is 4-5 ma. Was a lot higher with Led me know, but uninstalled it yesterday. You can make the leds work perfectly by booting Android on your charger
A fully charged battery gives me appr 20 hours life in a mix of heavy and medium use.
Hope this helps any of you, it's really working very well for me.
Cheers

hardik119 has found out that going to account & sync and disabling background data has stopped his device from freezing and it has also stopped mine afer 1 hours use. Before it was freezing about every 5 minutes. With doing this I have also disabled setCPU, auto screen rotate and removed gsensor.dll in windows mobile. Please try this out and respond if this has worked for you because maybe we can get a perminant solution. Thanks and also thanks to hardik119 for his extensive testing and possible solutions he is finding all the time Android is usuable on my device hopefully will be for everyone else aswel. Also sorry for opening another thread but there doesn't seem to be any action on hardik119's original thread.
maybe suggested solution works...but...wot is android without data background?
If you disable background data, doesn't that like stop gmail and weather and such updating automatically??

As has been suggested above...that is kind of /fail.
I'd prefer to live with the occasional few second freeze than not have constant updates.
I applied the RC 7 and my screen freezes are gone. Using this image with mattc nexus 1.0 rom,

Pretty sure he's just looking for testers to confirm the association. That way developers can narrow down the cause of the issue and possibly fix it. Stop whining about the "solution" he suggested.
Touchscreen freezes still exist
No freezing issues as long as you get the right WM build and android port. Mine is 100% freeze free thanks to the awesome devs here at Xda.
I have auto screen rotate on and still no freezing or SOD. I am using Darkstone's 2.1 build full time now.
Fyi.

Giving some details about your setup, WM Rom, Current android build/zImage radio etc. might help people participate more. Data connection does cause some freezing but if your saying you were getting freezing every five minutes before you turned it off, then something sounds wrong as mostly people are reporting little or no freezing.
You mention the G sensor and this is a known problem and a work around is to calibrate the G sensor in WM before turning on android, this has helped me.
I also find the kernel has an impact, I found freezing in all the undervolted/ overclocked Images, although Michyprimas latest kernel is the best to date, I have not had a freeze yet.
I found that the stock ZImage from 23rd August had no freezes in my setup.
I've no doubt that the sd card is playing some role and you may wish to experiment with changing that.
Im sure you've tried all this but you need to have the latest Hardspl V3. Do a task 29 to wipe your nand. Install a very light WM ROM, Im using my own WM 6.5.5 ROM but there is a better one by Miri V18 extra light and of course the one listed here such as chucky's ROM etc.
Format the SD card before installing the Android ROM.
Use radio v2.12.50.02.
Try Xcelsior ROM when I tested it I found it very stable.
If you already tried these thing and have had freezing every five mins, then I would suspect your sd card, but its just a guess.
There is a thread somewhere by cotulla asking for participants to isolate this problem so you need to submit your findings there (again if you have not done that)
Thanks for the tips currently using maths 1.5b Rom with 23rd kernel
Hspl3 & radio .12 aswel also tried with calibration on the g sensor in winmo and also deleting sensor.dll also using energy light but have also tried with Miri light the only build I haven't tried so far is the one you mentioned so will give it a go. Thanks

where to fing the original zimages not the overclocked
touch screen freez reason
I nenarly identified the reason of touch screen freezing ,,it is possibly in the touchscreen kernel ,download figure race from market and the touch screen fresez due to random pess of touch screen with both hands ,I think this is the main problenthl

23rd august is very stable, you also get usb sinc working and HTC sync.
You need to download the corresponding modules to extract the BCM and TUN files for wi fi to work.
What do you guys think the best Rom and android combination is. i have tried a few and want to know what is working best for you.
thanks.
I'll bite, even though "Best rom/build" threads are usually shunned.
I use Energy rom for windows and shubcraft for Android. I use a full energy rom because I still use windows from time to time. Shubcraft is preferred for me because of performance and it feels native to my HD2. It tells me in the 'about' section that I am using an HTC HD2 as opposed to a Desire or Nexus One. Something about that just makes it feel right for me.
My combo works well but I do put the time in to fully explore and find solutions to minor problems. I believe that rom/build compatibility is not a huge issue at this stage. In my experience any rom works well with any android build. To get it working properly it takes more than just the "right" combo.
It would be more beneficial to have a thread with "Non compatible rom/builds" rather than best combination.
i change both of mine all the time but right now it is mattcnexus1.1 for andorid and artemis for windows. with this setup i never get sod and only get screen freeze if auto rotate is on
I've been having good luck with a combo of VBN Black on the windows side & the latest Shubcraft on the Android side. So far the only real issue I'm having is occasional data errors, laggy GPS, and some programs not wanting to install/work. And, with occasional data usage & 2-3 hrs of streaming bluetooth audio at work, I still have about 50% battery left by 5. No heat issues either
my windroid combination
Windroid combination are as follows:
Artemis V30.0 WWE (winmo) + SubCRAFT V1.4d (non Sense)
Artemis V30.0 WWE (winmo) + MattcFroyoSense V1.6b (Sense)
fast smooth daily use stability and fully functioning core elements
out of all the roms shubcraft is my fav still never has frozen or played up for a week today, with telstra rom radio 2.12.50.26
I'm copying polo (I'm literally going thread to thread telling him so ) - Energy Full WM along with ShubCraft. I am daily trying out other builds, but the non-cluttered, non-Sense interface and professional look of ShubCraft has won me so far.
I still do boot to WM occasionally (and actually enjoyed doing so again tonight), and just need to figure out a decent Exchange client, and an e-bookreader to match AlReader (I've tried 5 or 6 but none do it for me), and I guess I'll always keep WM in the background so I have access to TomTom. Apart from that, long live Android!

I don't see any differences in the roms I tried... Miri, Chucky, Energy.
I just pick the rom that looks the coolest, which is Chuckyrom to me.
I jest and say that the best Android combination is the one with the fewest Windows as possible.

Hey XDA maybe you can help me out.. I;ve searched the forums and cannot find a solution to what is happening to my phone. I have a SIM unlocked HD2 and in the WM rom im using (Chucky) the EDGE data works just fine all of the time. However, the minute I boot into Android, and I've tried multiple roms, the EGDE data will work then stop. No matter what combination of turning off and on the data, changing the monile network settings, WIFI will turn back on the data connection. Ive tried booting into Android with and without radios on in WM and basically everything I can think of. Ive changed APN settings as well.
I really dont know what is causing this. and im currently using radio 2.12.50.02. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. Any questions i will answer.
What android build are you booting into? What Kernel? Have you explored your build's thread to see if others experienced similar data drops?
I have a euro hd2 on att edge and I don't have any issues with the setup in my signature.
I'm currently booting into Hyperdroid V1.6 with a kernal version 2.6.32.9-r11_n38158-g184606d-dirty [email protected] #159. Ive looked at nearly all the pages and placed searches as well but can't seem to find anything. I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that im using AT&T but WM EDGE works just fine. I should mention WIFI works fine in Android but on the power coltrol widget on my home screen the Data button (with the arrows pointing up and down) is red even when turned off. I'll try your set up later tonight, thanks for the response.
EDIT: I tried your set up and it was the same case. Sometimes I'll boot up and EDGE will work for a while then stut off randomly and other times it wont work at all after boot up.
Have you tried rmnet vs ppp? Others have had success using rmnet when having data issues.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Sorry for the late reply. I have tried both and it doesnt change anything. What I have found is that my data will work for anywhere from 5-60 minutes then stop working all together until the next reboot. I have no idea what is causing this or what I can do to fix this.
many others are experiencing data disconnections depending on kernel and build. I don't think this issue has anything to do with at&t. Keep trying kernels and builds.
Just an FYI, having the same issue with the following setup:
Copes CM7 (Android 2.3.2)
Baseband 15.36.50.07U_2.09.50.29_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15r8
Build: GRH78C
Fixed
You just need to look for a ROM and kernel that works. NAND are the best for battery life by far. Just keep looking you'll find one

Have you tried entering into the phone's advanced settings?
Using the dialer input: *#*#4636#*#* then go to the radio option and select GSM only. Then reboot the phone (not necessary, but let's just do it for good measure, it'll only take a minute) and report back!
wondering if u have found a solution to this yet...
I know that I'm digging up an old thread but, has anyone found a working solution to this? I'm on EDGE and it is painfully slow when I'm trying to do anything on the phone even though my phone shows full signal. Also, the signal will drop out every once in a while and I have to turn airplane mode on and off to get it back. I'm think that I have the correct APN settings. Currently I'm using Rafdroid 4.2 with his 2.0OC kernal.
Thanks!
Hi all I have tried several new roms.. And I c seen to have all the features working in mdj revo sense. The only thing I suffer from is data drops..very annoying..but the nexus one frg8 data works fine when I switch it from ppp to rmnet..but the rim is not very fluid..i have force closing in dialer and bluetooth does not work properly...are there any other new roms that use rmnet..i could only find the nexus one.

I have been using one of michyprima's nightly builds that can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824601. As found through my lengthy testing of this build, everything works. Camera does work, but it seems that all of my photos have a greenish tint to them. Other than that it is as close to perfect as you are going to find these days.
One word, do not change the kernel out to anything else unless you want to lose functionality and start having data drops again. The kernel that is shipped with this build is great. Just not overclock-able. Getting 3 mAh drain in standby with airplane mode on, 5-7 mAh drain with airplane mode off, WiFi on and good radio signal. Turning bluetooth on brings it up around 37 mAh.
The one I am using is "DOWNLOAD v4 (11182010 nightly, 31bc15c1)" and it is exceptional. It is PPP data connection but does not suffer from the data drops that the newer PPP builds seem to be suffering from. I have been running this one build for about 3 weeks now and have no intention of changing to anything else in the foreseeable future. I do not know anything about the two newer nightly builds that are listed in the thread, but I do know that this one in particular does work, and very well at that!
For some odd reason, the nightly builds have stopped and I have not seen anything out of michyprima for a few days, but hopefully he will be back around and they will start back up again soon.
Have fun with it ..... HTR
Data (almost) never drops on builds with the new ril wrapper... try any of MDJ builds with ppp.. either Froyo Sense (may have to update kernal) latest of Desire HD latest..
hey guys. ok ive searched and searched and gone through thread after thread to try and find a working android build for an AUSTRALIAN TELSTRA HD2.
im still using the phone on the telstra network and have yet to find a rom/radio/android combination that works.
so far most ones ive tried have the problems where i cant answer half of my calls since the screen was so moody or other ones the battery would drain in just a few hours.
i keep hearing that mdj's latest desire hd build is fantastic so if anyone has a good combination of a rom + radio + android build that would work for my hd2 then i will love you forever!!!
Hi,
I have a t9193 as well but first thing I did was flash a custom rom.
I am using Dutty's v9 on the windows mobile side and Mdeejay's 4.3 desire hd on the android side. It works fine but it needs a little time to get going. Also, you will need to set your apn info manually in Android so take note of it in windows. I am using the latest radio 2.15.50.14 without problems. T9193 is able to support most roms out there contrary to the t-mobile version.
Miri's v25 on htcpedia.com also works great.
Good luck.

alright ive put on that combination exactly and it still has a problem where sometimes it DOESNT come back from the black screen when locked. is there any fix for this as its been my main android problem since the beginning T-T
You need to change the radio rom to something that ends in .50. Telstra radio roms seem to end in .51. I use 2.15.50.14 and it seems to work ok.
I'm using MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.3_MDJ_S7.5HD with my wm being Cheetah Rom 3.14 base. I've been running this for a few days now and its pretty stable.
Good luck with your Android, gingerbread (Android 2.3), will probably be available soon too, waiting for that...

Hi,
I had this issue initially on 1st and 2nd boot or so. Don't forget that Android is run from sd card. You have to give 1-2 seconds to get going and load up the info from the sd.
When this happens, hit the end call button until the keypads light up and wait a few seconds. Make sure your keypad is lit up as it sometimes closes again. You can hit the call button and middle button as well.
Also, make sure that you uncheck auto intensity for display in windows mobile and I set the display time out to 10 minutes in Android.
Here is a trick and use and it seems to work. I let android sit for about 15-30 minutes on first boot to allow it to be stabilized and allow all the syncs to take place (the hd rom actually will download and re-install all marketplace apps - have a look in marketplace under downloads to see this). I then restart it a few times after that and even let it sit a bit to finalize everything. Don't ask me why but this helps a lot. Android seems to get faster each time. You also may want to postpone sync with exchange/outlook and also htc sense until your 4-5 boot.
Lastly, when you first start an application (each time you boot up) there is a slight lag so exercise some patience. After that it is very fast.
Hope this helps. If you want a faster build that is non desire hd based you can try mdeejay evo sense revolution build. It is not as fancy as the hd build but is lightning fast.

I also happen 2 own an Australian HD2 off Telstra and use both Telstra and Vodafone sims. Check my sig for the Win Rom/ Android combination. It works well for me, I've tried most of Mdj's Android roms as well but have found Sergio's Core Droid to be the most stable. Any of NRGZ28's Windows Roms will work well with Android, give it a go. I also downgraded my radio from 2.15 to 2.12 and that seems 2 work better for me. Hope that helps
My Telstra HD2 is running Android perfectly.
However, I want to watch Foxtel on it but says it doesn't recognise my HD2 as a Telstra device.
It is a T9193 from Telstra, but there must be a setting somewhere that's not right.
Any help would be awesome.
