So I haven't updated my rom and radio in a while and was wondering if there is any real point to do so. everything works fine on my phone including any android ports i've put on it. my winmo doesnt allow me to turn sense off as its an old version but that the only real difference that i have noticed. any advice on which rom/radio's are really good right now would be great.
I am using this ROM:

If everything is working ok then tbh there is no point in changing, if you do just make sure you have all of the old ROMS;RADIOS & BUILDS to get back to happies again.

To be honest, if you're happy then I wouldn't change a thing. If there's anything specific that you'd like then that's obviously a different matter.
As for turning off Sense, there's no Windows ROM that you can't do that in. Go to settings, menu, all settings, today and turn of HTC Sense as a today plugin. (That may not be 100% correct - it's been a while )
thanks i have turned sense off, i think the way you explained it was better than i had heard which i couldnt figure out but now im good.
as far as rom/radio. i guess that answers that too.

I could quote you what I use, and I think it's great, but everyone uses different things so we'd all give different advice. Like I said, if you come up with something you need and you don't have it, it may be time for a change, but until then just stick with it.
Like they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

How do I restore my phone to original so I can start over? I am getting horrible battery life now with this new radio version and I have tried multiple roms. I made a nandroid backup when I first rooted my phone I just need a little bit of info on how to restore this version and will this version send my radio back to normal? I am not sure that is the problem but it started about the time I did the flash to the new version and I would really just like to kinda "start over" to get rid of any issues my flashing all these different roms may have caused. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

welcome to xda. there is a search thread button on the top right of the forum it will find all the keywords you type so that should help you. always search in the forum before starting a new thread so we can keep clutter down. anyways the radio isnt messed with by alot of things because it is very risky and it is also in a whole different partition so a nandroid will not restore it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644004&highlight=radio
download the stock and flash it. goodluck. be very careful with radio.
I didn't try looking around on the forum for the way to flash it back. I have become very proficient in messing with my phone so I am not worried about bricking it, but thank you very much for your help.
This is really weird, I just noticed my radio version is 2.14.05.02.03, from what I have read it is supposed to be 2.14.04.02.03 and it does not wanna seem to flash back when using the signed version of the stock roms... I dont get it anyone help me?
that is weird. someone made a typo lol. anyways try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644004&highlight=radio&page=3 go to post # 28. DL and try to flash. i made a different update-script so maybe this other one will work for you.

It isnt working though since the flash a week or so ago I have been getting terrible battery life and I cant figure out what is wrong... I have wiped, tried about 4 different roms and nothing changes the battery still drains like crazy. I also tried a rom with like no programs running and made sure that I had nothing running that could possibly kill the battery.
I tried that one as well... Still says the same thing, this is really odd, I really think this is causing my battery issues. I flashed both that one and the one on the main page, do you think possibly that the problem is related to this. The only radio update I ever flashed besides this downgrade was the one that Flipz posted to go with his Android 2.1 rom... This is really weird I am really getting worried that I am gonna be stuck on this radio version forever now =(

well the new radio is almost never going to cause worse battery life.it has everything the old one does but it should poll towers less. 99% of the time its going to be the rom. what rom are you using?

in "Battery Info" it gives only basic info on status, current level, scale, temp, time since boot, and a few more unneeded values, nothing about individual pieces of software.

Do you have Spare Parts installed. You should be able to get info from there. Do you have GPS, Wireless, or Bluetooth on? I have the updated Radio and while I am sleeping I am only using 9% of my battery. With my stock ROM I was using 35% I have everything off except mobile networks and when I go to sleep I turn that off. I do not over-Widget my homescreens or have email checked every 5 minutes.
Maybe try Damage Control V1 or Fresh Rom 2.0. I know DCv1 is great as long as you follow soome of the steps on remving one of the applications.

Nothing conclusive in any of these threads, and I am beginning to worry...id really like my old radio back.
It's an issue with the new radio. Your phone is constantly looking for a GSM signal, preventing the radio from sleeping. Either need to flash the old radio, or upgrade to a 2.1 ROM and follow my guide.
Well, I am on Fresh 2.0c now and my battery life seems better. It was literally going down like 10% or so per hour before, it is back to normal now like normal for 2.1 roms. I reinstalled the radio a few times and I read in other threads that even though the versions wasnt changing in settings it was really changing. So I think it is fixed now but I still got my fingers crossed.
Even if your battery life is better now, you still need to follow the guide to change the Preferred Network to CDMA auto (PRL) otherwise your phone will still be wasting a good amount of battery searching for a GSM signal... I'm on Fresh 2.0c with the new radio and I'm only seeing like a 20% battery drop over 7 hours with normal usage.
Has this happened to anyone else? I booted into WM the other day to test a BT headset and when trawling through my settings i noticed my usage timers are now at 0:00. Since receiving my replacement phone in October and installing 3.14 i've not really used WM anyone else experienced this if so is there anyway to stop it?

I haven't even checked my MAC will have a look at that in a bit, but by looking at what you have said you are using a Custom ROM. I'm not so in theory mine *SHOULD* be ok.

Hi!
With my HTC HD2, whenever I try to, for instance, type a message, the keyboard on my HD2 barely reacts or hits the wrong key. Installing a swype-like keyboard like TouchPal may solve this but for some apps like games this may get an issue later on.
I'm running tytung's NexusHD2 v2.3-HWA, which runs fine (thanks!). Just this issue.
No idea if this also occurs in WM6.5, but not going to switch back just to check that
How can this be fixed?
Aside from that, is there any way to speed up the ROM? It's fast enough as of now but speed is always useful
Thanks!
Was am issue with my ROM, flashed another one and now it works fine!
Sent from my HD2 using xda app-developers app
Try disabling the keypress vibration or sound when typing. It helps ALOT for me.
same problem for me
i had the same issue with ROM,after flashing to another one it works great
In the future, just run a ROM from SD and see if that changes things, that way you don't lose your current ROM.
But yeah glad you fixed it
From an SD card it's even worse, lmao

Most likely you won't be able to fix this(unless you replace digitizer, but it's not 100% solution!).
Sometimes, it's true very rarely, some HD2 hardware is not fully compatible with android(more often touchscreen function related!), but could be fully working on WM.
Even it seems a bit hassle, you should flash a WM and see what happens!
Thanks for your reply.

No, myMIUI works better than the other ROMs. WM6.5 sucks, I'd never switch back to that
@bib*oops: Sure.
long story short i went from an old GB to an ICS. didn't care too much for it so i went back to this one. loved it but i noticed that when i went to reboot none of the options worked. also then noticed that it would freeze at other times too and the only way to get unstuck was to put it to lock the screen and unlock it.
thinking it was the rom i switched again to this one just a trial and error. well its doing it on this one too. but now i can't even unlock the screen.
unless im missing something, i am doing all this through cwm and doing a data wipe and cache wipe each time.
what else can i try to get everything rectified
edit: and no, my digitizer is not broken as it has worked for well over 2 years as well as when i had the ICS rom up until the past weekend!
But the digitizer can brick from one moment to the other. In my case, i flashed miui and my digitizer was broken after that. Before that all was fine.
What i did to find that out, was to reset the phone completly. What means, back to WM 6.5. It's just an idea to do another trial and error. If it doesn't work in WM 6.5 u're digitizer is nearly to 100% broken.
Sorry for my bad english. May i could help u

every time i hold the power button in to reboot/turn off it hangs. i can't choose any of the options. if i hit the back arrow it removes the options screen but is still hung. i can hit the power button to black the screen but then i have to wait about 10 seconds to unlock it. if i try right away its still hung. but if i wait the 10 seconds or so it seems to be fine.
i know its not a big deal since i rarely reboot/power off. and now that i have that app it works.

Hey, whilst it's great that you're trying to help, this is fundamentally wrong. This is an opinion based question but you're stating this as fact, which is misinformation and could cause confusion. Please choose your wording more carefully as the majority of ICS users DON'T have issues and I find it a tonne more stable than GB. Also overuse of emoticons

Since you say you aren't opposed to reinstalling the ROM, try that. If that doesn't work, try WinMo. I'm inclined to agree with Kameirus here, it sounds like a digitizer issue, and you shouldn't rule it out as a possibility just yet. Installing WinMo should be able to tell you whether or not this is your problem.

well i am on reinstall #2 of this exact rom. like i said since going to ICS a couple weeks ago this is my 4th rom within said 2/3 weeks. even up to the install of ICS i have had zero digitizer problems.
can i install winmo from cwm? if so does anyone have a link so i can give it a whirl?
ok reinstall #3 of that rom. this time it acted like the first time i installed it. the touch screen was responsive when choosing the options for installation.
the only thing i did was flash CWM 150mb instead of the 400mb i think was on there. not sure if that had anything to do with it but at least i would eliminate it.
ok up and running. i won't do any updates and see how it acts.
HA! well that didn't take long where's that winmo rom i can try out LOL!

Provided you have the right ROM for your device type (i.e. a TMOUS) then yes, it would work fine. I find his guides very good actually, much more noob-friendly than some of the ones here on XDA (general statement, not trying to say you're a noob or anything)
While toying with my LG G2, I managed to find a setting where I could lock down the phone's USB connection and prevent it from showing anything when connected to a computer if the screen is locked prior. The only way to get it to show on the computer was to actually unlock the phone first in which then once it shows you can lock it back.
I find this feature AWESOME (something I always wanted) because people wouldn't be able to just put my phone on their computer and copy my ish (well I'm sure you can get around it, but most 'regular' people wouldn't be able to figure it out) <-- by regular I mean not NERDS like us.
If anyone else has discovered this setting and knows how to get back to it, plz share. I been looking for it for awhile but have not been able to find it.

Yeah, it's definitely Stock. I found and tested it like wow this is kinda cool, then now that I want to turn it off temporarily due to a lot i'm going to be modding, I can't find the feature again, lol. I guess I could just turn the lock off in general for awhile... but I kinda don't want to, ya know?
If I figure out how I did it, I'll come back and post so you all will know. I think it's pretty good extra security personally. At least if you lose your phone and someone finds it, it gives you a bit more time to remotely wipe it.
