Hi there,
I've downloaded and flashed the latest ruu file (RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe) from shipped-roms.com.
Now my battery totaly discharges within 10 hours without any wifi or 3G usage and auto-sync is off.
When I switch to airplane mode it keeps 100% of its charge for 8 hours that is great. but whenever I turned off the airplane mode, my battery starts to drain and lose 10-15% of its charge for every hour. So I think there is a problem with radio, but it is the latest version(13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10)
I lost root access since I flashed the ruu. Also the older ruu files did not work when I tried to downgrade because of the new hboot I think.
I already tried the battery trick.(8 hour charge, turn it off and charge for 1 more hour, turn it on and charge for one more hour) and I flashed the ruu file when the battery was 100% charged.
So, please guys help me, what else should I do?
I experienced the same problem but with every roms / radio I tried.
I figure out that with another sim card my battery curiously work normally, 2 days or so. Very annoying.
And recently I found a substitute : I checked "use only 2G" in network options, now my battery can stand 2 days easily by normal use. (but I have edge instead of 3G network, but it's enough to get email and other basics usages)
I contacted HTC for this, they told me to send my phone for repair, but i'm scare they simply change it and give me one with last Froyo update witch i will not be able to root.

Thanks toma.sbk, but I can't see the "use 2G only option". I've three options to select in the menu, WCDMA only,GSM only, WCDMA/GSM auto.
Did you mean, I should check the "GSM only" option? I tried that option but no thing has changed so far

Yes, 2g is GSM
I use openfire, so I have the "use only 2G" but you should try "GSM only" (but can you acces at least Edge in gsm only mode ?)
curious thing is that you seems to be on vodafone türkiye too.
did you tried other sim-card ? from vodafone, or from turkcell ?
Yes my carrier is vodafone Türkiye and I've not tried any other carrier yet but everything was fine before the update.
So there seems to be a problem with the radio version, maybe the original one was optimized for Türkiye and the ones that we flashed into our phones are incompatible with Türkiye's gsm operators.

My problem is solved by using the GSM only option? but my 3g access has disabled.
toma.sbk I couldn't get what you told. Did you mean another sim-card from vodafone runs correctly?
So our sim-cards our faulty then? but everything was working fine with stock Eclair so there should be no problem with vodafone.

what is your baseband version?
Yes, with my friends simcard it worked fine. But not sure there is 3g.
And i use this phone in france with french simcard and 3g, it work normally too, no battery issues.
So i thought it was my simcard who had a problem and change it at vodafone, but still the problem is there.
And if i flash the official 2.1 ruu the problem still there.
I don't want to take the risk to send it to htc for repair, if they flash their 2.2 i will maybe not have the market.

Maybe, but everything was working fine before the update.
Now it is fine if I change network mode to "GSM only".
Whenever I turned on the "WCDMA" (aka 3G) my phone is starting to heat and battery drains 10% perhour. So I can't use 3G for now
I'm pretty sure that the problem is about the radio version not the operators.
what is your radio ? mine is 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31
do you know/remember what was it when you buy the phone, the original one, if I found it, i'll flash it to try, so we will be sure.
My radio version is 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10.
Unfortunetely I don't remember the original radio version. I'm searching for it.
In wild puzzle thread, at the bottom of the first post are all the radios.

Hahaha... For all the future "enthusiasts", just to be clear on this, THERE IS NO BATTERY TRICK!!! At least not in the way you describe it...
If anything, YOU ARE DESTROYING THE BATTERY THIS WAY!!! Making what is called a "memory effect".
Batterys do not function in that way... You can learn about charging batterys on many sites, but this has got nothing to do with Android, so I'm not gonna explain that here. But you can trust me, I've been in RC modelling for more than 20 years...
So your problem lies with the radio or something else...
But spare your battery from the "charging tricks" ;-)))

Yes, but I think I tried them all, I'll try again to be sure I didn't miss one.
But Maybe the phone in turkey is sell with a "custom" radio cause it is sell with a "custom" rom without the market.
could be good if the other people who use their phone in turkey help us here :
- where did you buy your phone ?
- what is your baseband version ?
- did you ever flash your rom ? make OTA update ?
- what is your connection (HSDPA ? Edge ? ...)
- and the most important : do you have any problem with your battery ? how long can you use it in normal use ?

Hi I am in fringe area reception. Find that this ROM seems to lock its AGC high eg after reasonable signal, then reduced, it seems to sometimes lose signal altogether, needing a reboot. Yesterday even in a strong signal area, and reboot a few times it took 3 reboots until the radio came 'unstuck' and started to receive again.
Question is for WM6, is there a radio rom that is more reliable than this one?
If so, url pse.
Thanks vm.
Alistair.
All U can do is to test also 1.13 version. There is also possibility of faulty GSM module.

I had problems with the radio that were caused by the old battery.
replacing a new battery, fixed many of my BA's strange problems.
If your BA's battery is old, too, then give it a shot by changing it.
True True, i had some weird problems which were solved by purchasing new battery

Can understand that, because the power saving mode would lock down on radio activity, however, the battery in this unit lasts at least 3 days, and the problem occurs regardless of battery level; eg it can be on the charger when it loses signal.
Why I asked is there was a thread a while back on various radio problems and I thought some indicated a different rom was the cure. Unfortunately, could not find the thread or url for the radio roms.
Cheers,
Alistair.
yep, i used to experience faulty battery stuffed up the radio big time.
Dain your battery completely.
I was having the same issues on my BA, so that when i dropped it (5" onto a desk) and cracked the digitizer, i went out and purchased an elfin.
But i couldn't abandon my BA, so i fitted a new digitizer last night, recharged the battery which was completely drained, installed a new rom "Black Diamond Manila2D", then loaded my sim card, i had signal straight away, where i was getting none at all. I would have to drive 5 K's away from where i live to be able to get the phone to "lock on" once it lost signal, so it was a bit of a shock.
Anyway give it a go and see if it works for you.
I usually get "no signal" when I restore "pim.vol" from previous rom, it resolves when I change the above file with original one.
I did try different radio versions with same result.
pls check if this is not your case as well.
I m on fido network in canada, and 1.13 work better according to my exprience.

which radio version are you using (and also which 6.5 rom)?
I have upgrade my Snap (German Version) to WM 6.5 (ROM from HTC Web Page). However since the upgrade my battery is empty before midnight. I always used my Snap with 6.1 for almost 2 days (at least on weekends).
I have not added any new apps compared to the WM 6.1 and still use Push for Active Sync and Hotmail. 3G is switched on.
Have you experienced a faster battery drain after 6.5 upgrade?
Confirmed.
I upgrade yesterday the original ITA ROM and I notice the same problem...
I flashed the german ROM too.
Cant see any changes in batterie life.
But im using GSM only.
And i confirm too.
After updating my Snap with English 6.5 Rom i notice that my battery drains at almost half time that it used too. I have 3G enable, but don't do data conections.
Alredy emailed HTC but no answer till now.
Regards.
Confirmed.
After upgrade the original FRENCH ROM same problem
I am not getting this issue, i flashed the WWE ROM. On exchange push email with HSDPA running all time, also played around with IE, and made few calls with skype on both wifi and hsdpa/3g, IM+ Chatting, and throughout the whole day my battery meter still full, not 1 bar down. tried to download and install opera mini, with total failure, this Jblend have good fonts compared to Jbed, but horrible Java VM. I didnt get much phone calls, only 2, so that could contribute maybe.
However im getting many bugs and annoyances here and there, specially with IE and sometimes crashing outlook. 6.1 was much more stable. This looks like a rushed beta job.
Yep, im going back to 6.1 wwe, have S521 here... Dunno how to do it and where to get original Rom...

U can't download it from anywhere, and HTC will not offer it anywhere, u have to take it to HTC service center in a country/region where S521 WWE phones are being sold. They are the only ones who have it, or so ive been told by their support email. I bought it online from expansys, and if i need it fixed or downgraded i have to somehow take it to HTC UK service center.

I have mine in Auto and notice much more batery drain than in 6.1 ...
I have now reseted my Snap (clear storage) and use it in Auto Mode (GPRS/3G/HSDPA) and only have Exchange on Push.
I have not started Windows Live incl. Hotmail Account push.
I have not started Market Place.
My Phone is setup but on manually sync.
Now have double of the Battery time. This is strange. I will monitore Battery Time over the next days and might turn Windows Live and other Apps on.
Battery live!!!!
I have a very good time on my battery.
I used the Wi-Fi for about 3 hours, GPS (garmin) for 20 min and the phone around 15min every day.
I have 3 full days of battery from the charged to recharge (olmost empty).
Maybe, the small trick to be the way you maintaine the battery?
- at first use, let the battery drain all and after that recharge?
- don't let the battery to be recharged when you ar connected to PC only for data transfer or other staff?
-let the battery to be olmost empty and after do a full recharge?
Maybe!!!

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?

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 =(

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.

I been having cell phone for the past 7-8 years , first time in life without phone for a week.
wondering HD2 dumb phone or dumb tmobile or me -dumb for chosing t-mobile ???
I would suggest you try either flashing back to the previous T-Mobile stock ROM, or to a different radio, that will probably make a big difference in your reception.
Also, did you do a hard reset immediately after flashing to the new ROM?
T-Mobile gives a 14-day buyer's remorse period to be able to return the phone, but you're obviously past that now, so the only way to get out of the contract is to pay the ETF (early term. fee).
As far as the iphone, you would have to buy one elsewhere and get it unlocked to work on T-Mobile's network, and even then you wouldn't get 3G on it.
->not sure what happened in the store , now my battery will not charge, if i pull my power card, it says main batter low and dies off.

--> I did not do that , not sure if it was mentioned on the site.

I'm assuming he's talking about the 2.13 ROM.

I would first check the battery pins like samsamuel suggested, that might be the source of your batt issue now.
Then, I would first try a hard-reset as a fix for your original problems, and if that doesn't work then try a different radio.
I would just flash a custom rom to it. I use Kumars classic rom and my phones bullet proof. I don't ever need to reset or ever reboot it. I did find one bug and that was that the file explorer extenerder cab would hand if you tried to close it in task manager. So I just intal it if I need it which isnt' very often.
Sorry for the delayed reply.
The battery pin is bent, waiting for T-mobile to ship the new phone.
Hopefully will install the custom rom and let you guys know.
Thanks for your help.

Give the stock 2.13 a try with class 6 (or class 4 minimum) microsd card...I was all about custom ROM's with my android phone but I've had the HD2 for almost 3 months now and I have yet to try and flash a custom ROM. Why? Because the stock works really well. I've never gone this long without flashing a custom ROM...
I love my HD2. iPhone is not as good.
2.13. SUCKS!!!
Just wanted to let you know that ur lucky because since the update of 2.13 I've been having to restart my phone very often. I noticed before the update that when tring to send a message while receiveing one that my phone would freeze within the message screen. Now after the update no matter what once i'm receiving a message my whole phone freezes. It's a pain in the ass and tmobile programming team sucks!!!! Can someone please stare me in the direction of a good rom that I won't have this issue with and which is fast!!!! PLEASE!
having the same problem here,my answer was going back to stock and then i flashed an energy rom it freezes some times but not as often once or twice day

I have had Energy Rom (the "Unstable" ver) for months now and NEVER locked up. I have had to reboot the phone like once a week if it starts acting a little odd, but NEVER locked up. If your locking up this often, get a new phone under warrantee ASAP!
Gsm Elite Rom
Try my Gsm Elite Rom.
I will post on my site in about 1 hour 30 minutes.
(Just a cooked 2.13 rom with some fixes and demo games removed, mobil tv removed, ereader removed, etc.)
Runs solid.
Link to my site is in the signature,
I just bought a Tmobile version (USA) HD2 and got it SIM unlocked to use on at&t.
This is what I did:
1. Installed the HSPL3.
2. Flashed to the latest radio 2.12.50.02_2
3. Installed various TMOUS compatible ROMs. On WM ROMs the phone works great. But my motive is to get android running smoothly.
Then I used two different SD cards to run various android versions. Froyo starts fine but only works good on WiFi. As soon as I insert the att SIM card, and the moment some download progress starts, the phone reboots after a few seconds. Not only reboot is a problem but also the phone cannot start and stuck in boot. I have to manually restart after taking the battery out for about 30secs.
I am posting this here because I have trying to use Android versions from this forum and the TMOUS forum. I believe this forum has more potential to solve my problem given the number of active members are more.
If you have a solution, please share.
Thanks
AJ
Did u try switching to 2g only or in some builds GSM only hd2 wont work with at&t 3g.
Yes I did try that too.

I tried that too...
Okay...for some reason i haven't had that reboot for a while...
however, now I have a different issue, the same shutdown/reboot happens when i open up Google maps..looks like downloading of any data on Google map is causing the problem again...
very frustrating...(
Roms, Radios and Android
I have tried several diff roms and radios with android and the best combo I have found is radio 2.07.50.27 with Core Cell v3 rom and this Android version, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736545
For this version of Android all works except when you have wifi on and the phone goes to sleep it will occasionally get the black screen of death. If I turn wifi off before the phone goes to sleep, I have no issues.
Also I have used several diff Android builds with this rom/radio config with positive results.
I can't get data on my GSM, only via WiFi.
APN page in settings is totally blank. Nothing there. Is there a way to manually enter an APN?
I'm stumped.

What happens when you are not on wifi, like GSM/Edge...do you experience sleep of death?
I'm using ATT and edge works no problem for me I'm using chuckyROM and mattc 1. 5. Full RAM w everything working fine
sent from my android HD2
Nope it works fine with or without wifi.....IE... Edge works just fine and wifi works just fine. Again, the sod only occurs when wifi is left on, when the phone goes to sleep, and even then it only has happened a few times.

Did exactly as your config:
Radio, Task 29, Cell ROM, hard reset, Matt Android:
No problems on Wifi
Switched to Edge(att) and as soon as data download starts, the phone shuts down. It happens almost every time I turn the Google maps ON.
You are sure that this is not happening also under Windows Mobile?
For me, it did. Turned out to be a defective GSM/WCDMA chip and mainboard of the phone had to be replaced. The same for another forum member with a HD2.
Also, look over to the Desire forum. They have the same problem, and always, replacing the mainboard helped out. Seems to be either some kind of production fault or damage due to overheating (phone generally gets very hot when using EDGE/3G).

whoa...if thats the case...I am screwed I guess, If I don't have an att account will I be eligible for a warranty replacement. If somehow I can, do you know how and who should I call?
Thanks a lot!
I got my HD2 from T-Mobile here in Germany. I just installed Stock-ROM an uninstalled HSPL, called up T-Mobile service and they gave me a replacement.
So I guess T-Mobile in the U.S. is doing it also that way. The other way would be to call HTC directly and describe them the problem and tell them you already have installed the most current ROM version and already did a hard-reset. Otherwise they will instruct you first to do this.
