Hey,
My iPhone has died so I am looking to buy cheap phone whilst I wait for decent phones WP7 to come out this year. I was wondering how well does
Android work on HD2? Any lag? Do major features like GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi, etc work properly? Finally, any of you guys use Android as your day to day OS?
I couldn't find these answers so I apologise if these have been asked recently.
Thanks.
I'm running a NAND build and everything works great. The battery life is tremendous and I use my phone for everything.

The phone was made for Android...why Windows Mobile ended up on ths beast is a mystery to me. Everything works and works well. It runs circles around my brother-in-law's Droid...buttery smooth. The CM builds are my favorites, but if you like Sense, the DHD builds are great too. I was goingto upgrade last fall...but with Android running that's on indefinite hold.
And if you want to use WP7...it has reached daily driver status for a lot of folks too. But comming from iPhone, you might be disappointed in the app store at this point...still early.

Cheap phone? HD2? Seriously?
HD 2's are still holding value. One on contract in uk will be the same price as a desire. If you really can get obw cheap snap their hand off

I picked my HD2 up for 49 bucks a couple months ago. They are getting cheaper.
As for problems, just a few minor ones that some people have helped me fix on this forum.
When I downloaded the NAND rom, everything went smoothly. You might possibly get the Unit code problem. Just do the solutions that people are recommending on this forum. Worked for me.
Make sure you download HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR 1.12, and then the NAND rom. Check radio version before doing this as well.
couple things Ive noticed with this rom compared to 6.5
*The G-Calibration doesnt work as well on NAND as it did on 6.5. Screen sometimes doesnt rotate when you want it too
*Swype needs some modifications to it once downloaded to your NAND rom for the rom to recognize it (at least in my case)
*The Internet issue that everyone is having problems with but is a VERY EASY FIX...(manually enter APN settings) described in another thread
*Finally the phone isn't recognized by computer once plugged in. Anyone have a solution for this that works, please let me know
*Once I got my 3G to work properly with the APN settings, GPS worked perfectly fine and havent had a issue with it that others have had
With all that comes Android though. Android software itself is amazing compared to Windows and these are minor issues that dont bother me. This Rom is very fast and superior to any other Rom in my opinion. Marketplace is great, the animation is second to none, the app and widget placement is superb. I'd definitely recommend picking this phone up and downloading the NAND Rom as you won't be dissapointed.

If you Mean your computer can't mount the phone as a drive, I've only seen this issue in Gingerbread Builds. The fix "more of a work around really" is to download and use the "Multi Mount SD-Card" widget.

With the new ROM, my phone isnt recognizable once plugged in anymore. Ive read about a couple fixes but haven't gotten it to work. This issue is kinda blurry to me since it is a different ROM and your computer software expects to be hooked up to a Windows ROM rather than android. It charges through usb connection to computer, just cant sync contacts, etc. through computer. So yes, it isnt recognizable as a drive at all other than charging if that makes sense. Its the newest NAND rom that DFT provided.

You could try installing the Android SDK. It's a big install, but it will include the necessary drivers for connecting an Android device.

Will those official drivers work with DFT's version of NAND android ROM though? Will it recognize it??

I have no reason to see why not - it's just Android, like every other build. I'm not sure why you're having a problem in the first place.
Are you just trying to connect as a USB device? If so, have you set the phone to act as a USB device?

freeridindirtbiker,
If I understand you correctly you are having problems syncing contacts with your phone now that you have flashed the DFT provided Stock Desire NAND ROM?
My question is what program are you using to try to sync with your phone? When you had windows mobile on your phone you could sync using the windows mobile device center. Now that you are running android (especially in NAND) your phone is no longer a windows mobile phone and cannot be synced through windows mobile device center. You can download HTC Sync which is the software HTC provides to sync an HTC Desire with contacts etc...
Your phone now identifies itself as an HTC Desire. You can natively use it as a usb mass storage device (flash drive), but to "sync" with it you need to install new software on your PC.

Thankyou Brian. Thats what I was I looking for. I knew you couldnt have windows software recognize an android ROM. I was wondering basically what I could do in place of that windows software which in turn is HTC Sync? Thats what I was wondering. Appreciate all your guys' help.

I am a T-Mobile user in the USA and I loaded the new firmware today, and it loaded flawlessly. I could dial, I could surf the 'net, etc. However, after several "weird" lockups, especially during sync, I was forced to go back to my regular firmware. Have any other T-Mobile USA users experienced lockups? I am anxious to try the firmware again, because I really liked the features while it was running -- but I'm going to wait until other T-Mobile USA users have ironed out all the bugs, especially in conjunction with ActiveSync. (Version 3.7, btw.)
I haven't heard of this. My device is more reliable than ever on this version of the ROM, and others using it have told me the same thing.

Yeap the same thing happened to me the first time I installed it but it worked much better after the second install. So try reinstalling it!

Everything works great, until I try to use ActiveSync. After sync'ing it locks up everytime. Only a battery reset will do. I've tried both ActiveSync 3.5 and 3.7, no difference. Any ideas?!
So it locks when you pull it from the cradle? And what do you mean by a battery reset?
Very odd. It started this right after you upgraded the ROM?

Problem solved! This was an ActiveSync problem, and not a SE ROM problem! I discovered this by flashing my XDA back to the old ROM, that I had wisely saved on SD before embarking on this journey, and it locked up in ActiveSync also! I realized I haven't done a full sync with my XDA in a very long time, and I had 800+ contacts that seemed to be "choking" the XDA when I dumped it all at once. I deleted several hundred old contacts that I didn't need anymore (from old company), and then incrementally synced them to the XDA and it worked fine. I'm now happily back on the SE ROM and it is working beautifully.
Ah, I didn't think it could be the ROM.
Yesterday I learned a new lesson at a client's office... AS can lock up if a not-so-bright user has put mail items inside the contacts folder. :roll:
Tried USB tethering for the first time today and I was pleased with how quickly it set up and worked.
Now, I have HTC sync installed as this is my main PC, but does anyone know the set of driver files needed for Windows to pick up the Hero as a modem?
I'd like to pop them on the SD card to allow me to enable internet access on anyone's PC or laptop without installing full HTC sync.
If you've a default set up, the NDIS drivers can be found in c:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks but it only has the drivers there for Vista x64 (my OS), I really need drivers for XP and Vista x86 too
Odd - when I installed it here on W7 x86, I get both 32-bit and 64-bit driver directories. If you can, I suggest you install on a 32-bit installation to get the driver files.
Regards.
Dave
Hello everyone,
This is one of my first post/reply here, so before anything thank you very much to all here for sharing such good infos.
I've tried to setup my Hero for use as USB Modem as well, but can not find the "HTC Remote NDIS Network Adapter" driver either. Reading on different forums it seems it used to be on the memory card shipped with the device, but I bought mine 4 days ago and the file isn't there now. HTC has probably changed policy regarding this. Can anyone point me to where I could download this file to install on my lapto using Vista.
Thank you very much.
You can download HTC sync direct from HTC's website. It contains all the necessary software and drivers, and is a later version than the one that shipped with the Hero (at least when mine was shipped anyway!).
Regards,
Dave
u got it to work with the default program in htc sync??? i thought it doesnt work..i tried and i got an error
Works fine for me.

do u happen to have sprint service? im getting a username/password issue...i know its not the wrong info because i can get online fine without tethering..... im reading at many other places that sprint doesnt have it working yet??
No, mine is not a Sprint Hero. It is possible that Sprint have disable this option.
You might want to try PDAnet to see if that works with a Sprint Hero (see http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php )
Regards,
Dave
thanks dave..yea pdanet does work, i havnt yet tried it because its a trial version and u have to pay for it...i came from windows mobile where tethering was super easy to do and the apps were plentiful.... but it seems the android market doesnt have tethering ..... i rely on tethering alot for when im traveling, i thougth the android market wouldnt be a problem with tethering apps..but it seems im wrong
The GSM Hero support tethering out of the box - therefore the issue is not Android, but more likely a restriction your carrier has imposed!
First things first though - check to see if you have "Mobile Network Sharing" in Menu->Settings->Wireless Controls.
Regards,
Dave
yes, i have the mobile network sharing... i even install the drivers for tethering fine... im getting a error 67 saying that my usrname and password for my internet is not valid.... although i can go on my internet normally via my phone only...i cannot connect a usb to it from my laptop.... right after i connect it, the internet disconnects from the phone then i get an error.... you are right about sprint blocking it.... but theyve been blocking it since windows mobile...people got around it with a simple app which came with all the hacked roms.... it seems like an issue here with the sprint android.... but maybe its still new?

Yes it is still very new. As with WinMo, you need a hacked ROM, but these aren't available yet for the Sprint Hero as it's only just been released. Once you've got a rooted ROM on your device, you should be able to use wireless wifi tether - the meantime, PDAnet is probably your best bet.

Good morning guys, I'm a newbie with using Android Roms, but I've been really impressed with running Android the setup in my signature. That being said, in my area, when my T-Mobile data connection is disabled, the device freezes and the battery must be pulled. If I disable cell data, and only use wireless, then the phone works really well. The really nice thing about using the Android Roms so far is that they are stored on a storage card, so you can easily get back to Windows mobile if you want to. Good luck!

Ok, I wasn't clear with my previous post. If I have T-Mobile data enabled and wireless enabled as well, when I lose my work or home wireless connection, and the phone tries to reconnect to t-mobile data, the phone freezes hard. So, I have t-mobile data disabled, and I've been using wireless exclusively. I hope to work through resolving the issue in the coming week.

Please check your router settings. I had also trouble with the connection to my router. I find out that the MAC adress of the HD2 is different when WIN is on ore Ubuntu is on. After i take the new MAC adress to my Home network everthink works fine.
It seems like the remote control app is working fine for everyone else, but mine shows no devices found when I load it on my (refer to phone in sig). Anyone else having trouble?
Did you set Remote Control Settings on your Archos to Discoverable?
Settings> Wireless and network settings> Remote control settings> Discoverable> check
Of course. I checked all obvious issues, including firewall. Still nothing. The app doesn't even seem to search for devices. It opens in less than a second and immediately displays "No Devices Found". There doesn't seem to be a long enough pause for it to really be searching.
Did you reboot both devices? I had to do this to get it working.
I have the same problem. What phone are you using? Im using the Tbolt.
Yeah, both devices have been rebooted multiple times. Can people with it working post whether they are using the developer edition root method, and if so, what kernel?
@Richpopski123, check my sig. HD2 with nandroid.
Maybe the problem is, that you guys run a rom/mod on your phone?
Or maybe its the kernel?
I just put android on my old Touch Diamond just to test, and it works fine on that. Damn thing is 5 years old. Obviously it's the phone then. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the wifi Hotspot.
@Richpopski123: Do you have wifi hotspot?
@Lennb: I wish I could run without a rom, but it's a WinMo phone, and I can't deal with WinMo. Everything else in Android has worked perfectly, even usb tethering. Also, that old Diamond is WinMo running a droid rom, so it's not just the rom factor, but the type of rom, or something included with the rom.

okey, didnt know that
is there another rom to port android to the HD2? maybe this would work.
oooor.. have you checked you're firewall settings, if you have one?
Thanks for the help. Firewall settings are good, and I refuse to use any other Rom on my HD2. Nothing beats this one. Though, I may have to back it up with CWM and try some others. It's gonna take some serious time though.
It looks like there is a problem with UDP traffic on the phone. I get no udp traffic with any apps. Now I just need to figure out why.

New remote app .. doesn't work
I have installed the new fw on my Archos 70 and made it 'discoverable'. I have installed the Archos-app on my Samsung Galaxy S(i9000) and they are both on the same wifi network.
But my Galaxy doens't see the Archos. "no devices found'. Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong?
