[Q] T-mobile UK Android users, help please! - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

This is for any Android users on T-mobile uk, have anyone managed to find a build, winmo combo, fix for the data drops on Android for the HD2?? Does such a thing even exist?
After using Android for quite a while now, the internet is so much faster then it is on Winmo BUT it's always been really unreliable. This is the achilles heel of android implementations on the HD2. I have tried absolutely loads of different builds and 'fixes' none of which have worked. I may have a go at using NAND to see if it's any better, but I don't hold my hopes up.
The best I have ever achieved was using MDJ's Froyo Revolution 1.7 build. The data drops occasionally and while it works lasts at most for 20 minutes or so.
I've always used PPP builds but I'm getting desperate now so may go to a RMNET one.

I guess this means that there are no T-mobile UK HD2 owners using Android without data connection problems then

I'll let you know in a week or so, I've just loaded up a gingerbread release (one of the two around I think!) yesterday.
Mind you my data switches between 3G or 3.5 or not with winmo were pretty bad when I tried it.
How you checking for data drops or just noticing as your using it?.
Cant say I've noticed much yet on my build etc but I've not played that much with it yet.

Nexus one froyo build run from SD card works flawlessly for me....

When I run winmo Chucky ROM I have no data drops but it's noticeable slower. I can live with that however, I just much prefer Android now as an OS.

Most Stable ROM

Well I recently sold a mytouch 3g to my gf's friend that I rooted in the past (was a friend's phone who I bought from because he needed money) and it currently has CM 5.0.8 installed. She told me today that it has been running really slow lately no matter how many times she reboots and such. I told her I would look into possibly installing a different CFW for her that was more stable. Problem is, there are a ton of options to choose from and I have been out of the G1/MyTouch scene for a while.
Basically, she wants the phone to be stable and pretty quick. She doesn't need a lot of features or stuff that still has bugs to be worked out. I let her know I could unroot it and put 1.6 on there if we couldn't figure something out and she wouldn't be against that. Can anybody recommend a ROM that is very stable and quick besides the stock firmware? Doesn't matter if it's a 1.6, 2.0, etc. version.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Super D 1.11 is a fast/stable as you could go.... CM6 is amazingly fast but it's still in release candidate mode and an android novice might not be able to handle the flaws (if you can find some) in it. CM6 could beat it if it continues in the path in going in...

Yeah, CM was always the way to go for stability when I had my G1 a while back. That's why I threw 5.0.8 on the phone before giving it to her, but she said it's been really slow lately. I don't want to borrow the phone from her or anything to troubleshoot, that's why I'd rather find a known stable ROM and just flash that on there and be good.
I'll download that one and give it a try on her phone, thanks!
I noticed that the SuperD ROM says to have the sd card partitioned, is that a requirement for the ROM or no? Currently the card is not partitioned and if I could avoid doing that, that would be great. I'm going to be doing the flash at work and don't have a way to back up what's on the card already to partition it.
No it's not needed but if you plan on having things like Apps2SD or swap then yes.
Yeah I don't think she needs anything like that. Thanks for the help!
This is a good thread. I just rooted my friends g1 and put CM6 on there. I have been checking to see what the most stable Roms are..
I remember I would eventually start having issues with whatever ROM, so I would go back to a totally stock + rooted 1.6. If my friends doesn't like his CM6 I am going to put stock 1.6 with root access. Add wifi tether and add overclock/ setCPU. For functionality, that is a great way to go if you don't mind the old school look.

If you're going with SuperD (as you should IMHO), I'd use 1.9.3 or 1.7/1.8. The last two had some issues with installing apps - 1.11 in particular would occasionally FC newly installed apps until you ran fix_permissions. Not a deal-breaker, since it seemed stable otherwise but just a pain.

Im still on Ivan's Official...am I using an outdated ROM?

All I really want is the fastest, most stable ROM available. Are there better options? It needs to be able to tether, too; I'm using PdaNet right now and it's working flawlessly.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, opinions and advice.
You're using as up-to-date software as thousands and thousands of non-rooted Eris owners. The *core* of the OS, Android 2.1, is current. Sure, you can get Android 2.2 on your phone but it's not really ready for prime-time yet.

Ya, just flash Zanfurs OC kernel if you want to have more accurate settings and you should be good. And by the way, PDAnet lets you tether with any rom, as far as actually tethering without pdanet then the ivan rom should do the trick though I never tried it myself.

I use this configuration EXACTLY.
I also use wifi tethering a lot around the house for my gf's laptop.
I have gone to EVERY popular ROM out there for at least a couple of days. I keep going back to SenseUI if a ROM doesn't have it, and I keep coming back to Ivan's when I get to SenseUI. EvilEris was the second longest ROM I ever had, almost a month. Was finished with Sense crashing, and the De-Odex'd stuff (no room in the /data/ area, phone kept running out of memory, and no I don't like A2SD).
Ivan's and PDANet ftw.
You can try tnoobs it is a stock ROM, a revamp of plainjane. It has the perks and is quick.

- +1 - Tried them all, including the Froyo scene - very buggy! Ivan's is the standard of reliability and reasonable speed. I use PdaNet and Wireless. The only other ROMs that seems to be as stable and add an effective Apps2SD is Fresh 3.0 and XTR-Sense 3.03.

very slow 3G/HSDPA data connection with all builds :(

Can anyone confirm if they have a rock solid 3G/HSDPA data connection with HKCSL 1010 with any android builds? Please post APNs and radio/wm ROM/combinations if possible. It is nowhere near the speeds from my WM ROM from before but I just love the Android OS so much more as it's smoother and faster than any custom WM ROM's available. It runs great if it's on WI-FI, i just can't pay for my data connection and settle for a nice OS and almost 500Kbps data connection for now it's very frustrating and dissapointing since i'm in HKCSL 1010 NEXT G data plan..
I don't think the hardware supports TRUE HSDPA data
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
with latest builds, i have problem with bad signal reception... a have edge connection most of time.. i didn`t have this problem before... now in 4 builds i`ve tryied.. maybe it is because ppp?
Thanks for the replies guys but what do u mean true hsdpa? We are on a 3.5G network and also I see some other fellow users having 3g speeds of 3-5mbps which is super fast already. I have tried almost every rom out there and different barebone WM ROM as well but made no difference. Speeds are like GPRS slow! Tried PPP and RMNET but can't even tell a difference...sad as I can't use it with full potential.

Those numbers aren't exactly true as the browsing is slow as hell. I don't know how speedtest.net do it but it sure hell ain't that fast as it seems like it's constipated.
Most I get on every build I've tried is rough 0.33mbs connection, I've hit nothing over 45kb/s yet seem to be able to upload at over 70, that's on T-MOB UK, pain in the arse but I just try and stick to wifi, nothing I can figure out after swapping so many roms/radios/builds/modules etc etc etc!!!!
try out bangsters 1.4 (the latest i think) and edit the startup to PPP, used chuckyrom and 2.12 radio and seems like it's working pretty good. Not much constipation at all. Try it out and let me know. I only had wifi so couldn't check 3G speeds before (here in HK for trip now).
i am using darkstones desire hd build on o2 in the uk and currently get roughly 2meg down when connected to hsdpa

Please try my setup via my tag, I'm getting 2.3Mbit for download and 700kb for upstream..

Since moving to Android on HD2 from the myTouch Slide, my data speeds have oddly evened out.
Meaning, data speeds have increased in places I used to only get EDGE coverage at and decreased to about 2mbps where I used to get 4-5.
I just hopped on to this part of XDA but I've gathered that Android development has only been happening for about three months. That's nothing! Look at all the cool stuff people have done! I think it's only a matter of time before the radios and builds start jiving a bit better. I'm ultra happy with what I've got so far.

My speedtest results are good (~450-500 kB/sec down, 150 kB up) on 3g, but when I use the market, the speeds are much slower. Same with wifi: speedtest reports excellent results, but using market is slow.
Hi I just flashed back to a dutty's WM rom and the browsing speed is much more faster and consistant. The rom is fast but opera just isn't smooth at scrolling and the windows limitation of colors isn't as smooth either. There are always some good and bad for the 2. I miss android already...but until there is a fix for consistent 3G and hsdpa connection, it is not ready for primetime yet...just my personal opinion.

I'd have to agree unfortunately. Android's biggest weakness in my eyes is it's reliance on online connectivity. Nearly every app on Android needs to go online. So when the online connection is intermittent and unstable it makes Android virtually defunct.
for all the fellas having Data being slow....read on!
GUYS!!! been fiddling with this $hit long enough! Today, just found out why my provider and 3G speeds are so damn slow. I read up on other forums (not xda) and played with APN settings. Don't know if they were case sensitive or not, or whatever..but i simply put in my provider name "CSL", and APN as "internet" and leave EVERYTHING ELSE blank, i get a screaming fast connection. NO HICCUPS NO CONSTIPATION. TRY IT!!! Don't input all those garbage numbers as it just confuses you! ONE thing though, you will not be able to access WAP I believe but i don't use it anyways. I have a LIMITED data plan and all this testing been taking up my 500MB quota already so I won't even bother with the speedtest process anymore. GOOD LUCK and please report back guys!
I m getting speeds upto 2.6 mbps download and upload 500 kbps with desire hd rom..2.14 radio..energy Rom in winmo..

Which ROM provides the best battery life?

I just got a DHD and have rooted and installed Android Revolution, but I am wondering which ROM has the best battery life?
A typical day for me would include:
Short call (not often)
Heavy texting
Occasional mobile data sessions (short periods of time)
Occasional Wifi
bluetooth off, wifi off unless needed, mobile data off unless needed, screen brightness about 20%, screen timeout 15 seconds
With The latest HTC update i'vê made about 20h on heavy use (lots of 3G and wifi, email, texting, twitting, browsing)
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using Tapatalk
I have to say, since moving to GB and LeeDroid 3.0.2 it's much better for battery than it ever was on 1.3x firmware. Getting a lot less drain, though that could conceivably be due to the fact I have less applications installed now.
I'd recommend trying any GB ROM, you should see a positive difference.

+1 for LeeDroids ROM if you like Sense. I found it gave instantly noticeable battery improvements but what ever ROM you use it's important to try different radio's (and matching RIL files) as these can have the biggest effect (For more info about radio and RILs please check the development forum as all your questions will have already been answered).
Using a Kernel that allows both underclocking and under-voltage will help too when used with SetCPU profiles (again, just browse the dev forum).
Hi there,
I have not tried any LeeDroid ROM's as yet but am currently using CoreDroid 2.3.3 V6.0 and the battery life is really good, plus it's got some Sense 3.0 features which are a cool addition. RCMix ROM's are very very nice also.
As Mr_JMM mentioned the right radio and RIL makes a huge difference to the battery life. It's a case of trying a few ROM's out and seeing what works best for you.
Android Rev 3.5-
Heavy use I get 18 hours use (by that I mean till 20%, where I charge it)
Running Overclock kernerl to 1.6ghzz
Wifi & 3G on all day (this is remarkable for me because pre custom Rom I'd get 18 hours with normal usage and I've have to keep 3G and Wifi off if I wasn't using it)
I can only speak for two roms; the telco bloatware Rom, and LeeDrOID's silky smooth rom, radio and kernel combination.
The battery clearly loves the latter as much as I do.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Definitely +1 for leedroid, lee does some really good work with his custom kernal.
For me it's CM7. I usually get about 30-40hours with medium use which includes things like txting, calling, some browsing over wifi, testing out apps, email, wifi always on and maybe a game.
Though I keep my brigtness around 25% unless I'm outside in day time when I need to bump it up.
For a phone of this magnitude and a pretty small battery I find that quite fair.
I'm on stock 1.32 and I get about 10 hours under moderate use. This can shrink to 6 if I play angry birds for an hour. I have two emails which check every 30 mins; twitter updates every 10; mostly on wifi; never use bluetooth or gps; and screen set to automatic brightness.
I would absolutely love to get the numbers you guys are talking about. I'm shocked to see that you are even getting those numbers of hours while overclocking with heavy use. I now have a reason to tinker around with mods and radios. Those usage hours are in Nokia territory

Tinkering with mods and radio's involves rooting your phone (to start with) so the first thing you can then do is upgrade to Froyo or Gingerbread which straight away will improve your battery life even before you do anything else.
hi there, nice to find a portuguese partner here ..
portuguese, living in switzerland
HTC DESIRE HD UNBRANDED, came only with 4 languages avaible: ENGLISH, ITALIAN, GERMAN, FRENCH.
thats why i rooted my phone...

I'm on 1.32 because my WWE unbranded hasn't gotten any updates yet. HTC has been treating WWE unbranded users like second class citizen. Still waiting on the gingerbread update (hopefully soon), and then I will root and start exploring the mod world.
Regarding gmail. I do have a gmail account, but i'm not using the gmail application. I'm using the standard HTC mail application. It seems to me to be treating gmail as pull email because it asks me for a frequency to check. Am I correct in this assumption?
Sorry, I haven't answered your original question. The best ROM for battery will vary depending on what else you want and what radio and Kernel you use. In general a GB based ROM like LeeDroid's will be excellent if you wish to keep Sense UI.

May I ask why? Only because if ther is no real reason it would help your battery life a littel and as it is native you will get all of the advantages of gmail which are missing from the HTC mail app.

Yes but when you set the phone up you would have had to sign into a gmail account (to use Market etc.). Is that gmail account the same as either of the ones you have in the stock mail app?

Don't wait for official GB update and then try to mod as you will have to downgrade to root and the rest. You are on 1.32 which is perfect to get you started.
Another thing is if you upgrade to official 2.3.3 update you will get some HTC bugs as they always leave some bugs to piss people off.
Gingerbread? You should have got the Froyo months ago. If you didn't get Froyo I'd be surprised if you got Gingerbread. If it were me I'd contact the network and ask about this. Seems very strange.

1.32 is FroYo, also I don't think DHD came with anything lower then FroYo when it was released. I personally think Sense is a battery killer and definitely a resource hog.

That was confusing the hell out of me. I didn't think there was anything less than Froyo on the DHD but then I didn't think Froyo went down to 1.32.
Thank you for clearing that up.
In that case ozaghloul it just seems odd that you never got the 1.7x.x.x update. I know only very few networks rushed out the 1.8x.x.x update but I thought everyone got the 1.7x.x.x. Well again, fingers crossed for you.
You can try Leedroid ROMs and if you dont like sense, put the nosense patch and use other launcher.
I've got leedroid 3.0.2 with MDJ V11 kernel and launcherPro and my battery life is very good

Whats Launcherpro do? I also I have Leeroid 3.0.2 but with Leeroids Kernel, wats MDJ v11 kernel and is it better?
I am currently using the RCMix Kingdom 0.1 rom with excellent results, considering it's a 1st release. Also added MDJ kernel 11 to boost it a bit - but as in ALL releases a bit of reading helps ( having a decent search facility for single thread would help tho, XDA ! )
Hi, I have only had my dhd for a couple of weeks but I've found leedroid's rom to be very good on battery. I'm currently trying out kingdom v0.1 with mdjv11 kernel.
Hope this helps.

Hi all! Long time ago my friend got the HTC HD2 and he told me about chaging to Android and I be able to using a Gingerbread version (can't recall who made it). After fiding that this device use flash player I decide to get rid of my old Iphone and get a HD2 myself but when I search for the build I couldnt find it, instead I find the Stock Desire NAND ROM which I love it. After doing some reading on the forums I found out that version is from 2010 so I been searching for a new one but they look different (I bet mods) and also none have 3G data.
What im asking if somebody could point to a stock Desire ROM or Desire S that have 3G data and dunno if possible but be able to buy stuff off market because when I try to buy something I get an error. Thanks in advance.
Pretty much any ROM you see on the nand roms page supports 3g data and will let you download paid apps, just choose your favourite!

try typing *#*#4636#*#* in your phone dialer
Then navigate to phone info, scroll down and choose your prefered setting.
initially I got wcdma prefered after flashing a rom...now I use gsm(auto).
seems better for me.
Tytung's gingerbread ROM is a but buggy
Thanks all for the help but I still dont get any progress, I play with all settings and stuck on EDGE. Im using a GoPhone sim card from AT&T and I know works since on the other phone goes to 3G instantly when home (other places I go back to E)
http://shiftpda.com/showthread.php?tid=4137 ....... try this amazing gingerbread 2.3.3 with sense 3.0 rom
Also try that and same thing... I give up I cant understand why this HD2 don't wanna get into 3G mode.
[UPDATE]
After reading more I discover the TMOBILE version of the HTC HD2 DON'T get into the ATT 3G network no matter if I change the radio firmware since is a hardware issue. Thanks all who try to help me.
