Just a quickie to share my joy at my HTC HD2 that I now feel is the phone that should have been released way back 4 weeks ago.
I've recently upgraded to ROM 1.61 and the camera is fixed, the SMS sending issue has disappeared [both fixes have been released recently], its phenomenally fast, screen lock is working, installed programmes are great, various tweaks and cabs supplied by the fab community here work flawlessly [the ones I've installed anyway lol]
It seems to be fitting together quite nicely now.
Fingers crossed for an exciting future with my HD2!!!!!!
All those who agree say, "aye"!
I totally agree. Those people whining don't know what they are talking about, this device is the best of its kind out there, nothing can come close for me. I'm using a swype keyboard on my hd2 to write this message which has to be the best keyboard on a mobile device. It's just blazing fast to type with while looking so cool at the same time.
AYE!! (Although waiting for a decent radio)

i would say the sms problem ( time to load all the messages ) is still not fixed, right?

Aye, man!
(Even though it would have been great to have HD2 at the 1.61 level from the very beginning. Wishful thinking, ain´t it? And I do still have the feeling that there is quite some room for improvements...)
also downloaded the new firmware. phone is running great now, battery life also seems much better than before. also just installed that swype keyboard. amazing!
I say nothing is fixed until there is an official release. HTC can't expect their customers to download rom's from XDA to get a device that works.
I agree, the 1.61 firmware is tops!
are you sure that you're finally satisfied?
You're not going to mention on how the edge of glass screen is too sharp and might cut your delicate fingers?
I'm glad you're enjoying it
Question is, when will 1.61 be officially released?! I'm a bit of a wuss, so i'm going to wait rather than install the leaked version. Can't wait for it though! Just to set my mind at ease regarding sms really. I haven't experienced the bug yet, but knowing it's been pre-emptively fixed (at least for me) would be lovely

Probably not too long, it was little over a week for the leaked 1.48 ROM to become official. If you're looking for a carrier specific ROM though expect to wait a little longer.
This is just my personal opinion though, I cannot vouch for HTC's time-scale.

100% agree!!!
If most ppl are really positive about it. They should release it officially. It is very strange to see 2 rom updates in couple weeks. Does HTC do that often?
Still very positive HTC is working hard to make it better.
Well i fully expect there to be bugs just like any new OS on any new device. The only thing is it take things like XDA to be beta testers, Android was beta for ages before there was even a device available for it.

Nah not looking for a carrier specific one. I think my HTC is stock anyway. It's on t-mobile, but i bought it from mobiles.co.uk. The youtube ap is still there, along with everything else that should be, and there's zero branding.
I'll keep my fingers crossed
+1 to being a little wussy on the leaked ROM update
I've only owned my HD2 for about...4 days now, so still a little scared.
but i will admit i do see some annoying bugs with the keyboard and lock screen. So far pretty good with SMS though, nothing to report there.
Just curious (and i'm a noob), when HTC officially releases the 1.61 update, how do you go about doing it?
I woudlnt expect it to have tons of steps like XDA informs you to switch ROMS does it?
is it a simple double click , wait and update?
Also, will it clear everything (reset registry, delete all programs)?
Cause ive done a bunch of registry tweaks and installed various programs, so i guess that might be a bit frustrating..
I've not had any particular problems with mine in the few days I've had it, (and I really love it!) so is there likely to be any benefit to me to upgrade from 1.48 to 1.61?
Happy to do it if there is, but I don't want to have to start from scratch unless it offers some genuine fixes/improvements rather than just some subjective/perceived ones.
The last comments I'd been reading about 1.61 the other day seemed to indicate that it didn't really do/change anything but is that incorrect? If that's wrong then I don't mind flashing.
My only real complaints are this bloody problem with music stopping when you lock it (coreplayer), and the stupid hardware buttons causing you to lose phone calls when you take the phone out of your pocket to answer a call. It's infuriating.
I've got different screenlock related apps but am having a spot of bother finding one that simply locks the hardware keys only while the phone is on standby (ie not locked while awake), or more probably getting the correct setup on one of these apps to achieve that. Each time I've tried so far I've resulted in a phone that won't unlock at all, due to bing unsure of correct settings.
Anyone with clear & precise settings for a lock appthat will do this and not mess with loads of other stuff would be VERY welcome to comment!
@Cret : Well there is somehow a solution for this. You might want to try this out (unlesss you havent already read it...)

Yes, a ROM upgrade is basically a click, wait and update. It also wipes the entire phone and resets registry settings.
Some of the radio-only ROM updates keep all settings intact but for if you're moving from 1.48 to 1.61, expect to have the phone wiped (I've never lost anything on the SD card during a ROM upgrade but most experts recommend to pull it out before you update.
That said - all is not lost for you. You can backup your contacts, calendar. SMS and other PIM data using "PIM Backup". This is a dummy proof program so don't hesitate to use it.
You can also restore your registry, HTC Sense settings and progs using "Sashimi" but I wouldn't recommend that if you're a noob. Then again, there's probably no better way to learn about the guts of your phone then slowly working through the "tons of steps" to get Sashimi to work!
When is 1.61 officially being released..........any idea ???
A method to stop our WP7 Phones updating needs to be confirmed. I should imagine that with the first update our shiny new WP7 will be killed.
If this goes anything like iPhone we need to wait.... read & read some more... THEN flash the update at our convenience.
The Update could be triggered by Zune or the phone - I don't know, but it needs some investigation imo and quickly!

It doesn't I had my Zune pass for a little of two years along with my ZuneHD and fat brown Zune 32 gig and they never push any update on you. You have to go an actually hit the UPDATE under settings --> Phone ---> update
to install any updates.
I'm waiting for the upgrade ,Let's bring it on !!!! **** who cares if they Lock it I'm going back to Android .
This WP7 really need an upgrade fast.
lol i can;t wait for updates for this wp7.. well if its not getting better with fixes or even if they block keys or anything that they could do, worst comes to worst we'll just go back to android.. at least its better.. for now~

I did this. My Focus was totally stock. No mods. This took less that 10 minutes total.
After it was complete, all of my stuff was still there. About as painless as it could get.
There was no chance to backup anything. Also this can't be reversed. But who cares? It worked great.
Make sure you download the 32 bit or 64 bit versions as appropriate to the PC the phone is connected to. If you read some of the comments, you will get the feeling that the few that complain probably ran the wrong version.
If you are not sure if you are 32 or 64 bit, go to Control Panel, then System. It will tell there.
The No mods portion is quite misleading. If it runs Chevron, chances are it is modding it. I would be stunned if this didn't void your warranty, absolutely stunned. The only way to update sans any mods would be to wait for the update to come. Otherwise, you might as well run the debrander and update that way...
Concerned
I used this to update to pre-NoDo (7004-7008). I have not done NoDo yet and I'll tell you what my concern is. I would like to know where this update is coming from (I am assuming the MS servers) and whether it is the same version currently being tested by AT&T. I am concerned that there may be AT&T or Samsung specific "fixes" in the AT&T version that are not included in the version being downloaded through this method. Wish someone could tell us.
Well I did it all
Went to nodo and my samsung is working fine if you need me to test some things for you just let me know and I will be happy, as far as warranty goes whenever I did chevron I didn't worry about it anyway, nor did I when I have had any previous devices.
My phone was not modded prior to the update. As far as I can tell it is still unmodded. I didn't see anything happen except the two updates. There is a command window open while this process is taking place.

I had a similar thought, but after a few days of read about people getting NoDo, I said screw it. As far as I have read no company, Samsung included, has added anything to NoDo. I would be shocked if they did anything.

Samsung firmware updates come separate. This update method works because Microsoft released " Windows Phone Support Tool "; Chris acknowledges. When you update, your specific phone gets identified.
I have a non-mod AT&T Samsung Focus. Like everyone else who followed the directions it took about 10 minutes, and worked perfectly. I've tested the features and my apps and it is much snappier. I'm happy with it!
*** Oh, I also used the windows phone support tool before trying to update ***
It appears the chevronupdater file has been removed from the linked post... Does anybody still have a copy?
I can't find it either

No one here should be misled. If you're worried about warranty, be advised NOT to install, run , deploy almost anything that is discussed here.
chevronupdater
Here's the chevronupdater for 64 bit windows. Also, i had trouble doing this as it would run and not update anything. Then i ran windows phone support tool and it updated my focus from 7004 to 7004.3 or something. If it's not working for you, you could try that
You guys might also want to go ahead and download .Net 4, since the updater apparently requires it.
I would link directly to it, but I haven't posted 8 times yet!
One general thing I noticed last night
My phone kept chiming .........bing, bing, bing, bing bing bing......... well you get the point. I turned it off and back on and it came back so at that time I just switched my phone to vibrate reason I have no idea besides that it has been running great.

Do you have a Focus? This behavior has been reported with the Focus a few times, in fact there is a thread somewhere about this. I had(?) this as well. The battery icon would flash like it was charging when it was not connected to a charger. When the usb cable was plugged in it behaved normally. It would not allow the screen to turn off. I worked with ATT Technical Support as well as Samsung. ATT informed me it was a known problem and they had seen many cases, MS knew of it and it was being fixed "in the next update". This was over a month ago. Mine stopped this behavior. I was normally able to stop it by plugging it into the PC and then, through a combination of turning off Zune, turning off the phone and unplugging while the screen was off, get it to stop.

Thanks J I see you everywhere on Focus post lol, yes I have a Focus I need to update my sig I know. It was the first time I experienced that I had my Focus since launch and it has been unlocked since the chevron came out, until I tried the unbranding update ;(. But it is up and running since running chevronupdate, I really haven't noticed anything as of yet, because my device was running fine prior to update, but the XDA disease really keeps my wanting more Thanks for the update big guy.

I know, I need to get a life. I got tired of tweaking and upgrading when I was in my "crazy" phase with WM 6.5. Thought I "had to" constantly visit here and update. Didn't realize until I had WP7 that I really didn't need to do that. But, I did not want to wait for that foot dragging AT&T to get me this simple update but also had no interest in sideloading apps. This was a perfect solution.
Wonder why the updater was pulled?????

I am guessing ATT, asked MS to do it because it looks like it makes them seem to not care about customers (worked a while for Cingular/ATT) and alot of things I know can be implemented into devices and they just don't. They nickel and dime us to death I think MS should I hate to say it (do like Apple) and just push the updates themselves to the devices and only radio updates should be pushed by providers (the only thing they need to do anyways). If anyone needs it I have it in my dropbox (the chevron upate 32 and 64)
Agreed

The worst thing MS did was allow the carriers to play such a significant role in the update process, especially their "Premier Partner", AT&T. I worked for them for 9 years during a time when customer satisfaction was at the core of the company. Today's AT&T is not that company, not even a shadow. MS will get the brunt of the criticism for this early update fiasco, even though AT&T deserves the blame. MS will receive it because consumers view this as an MS update. In addition, MS agreed to this "model" with the carriers so, in a way, they deserve the criticism.
AT&T Samsung Focus Success!!!!
Detail and I don't know how many had this issue. DO NOT turn off your phone before the update as the Windows Phone Support Tool instructions tell you. I know, I know, but I did that for quite some time until I decided NOT to turn off the phone.
Did have to run it twice, but I've already copy and pasted to my heart's content
Great job guys.....Thanks a million!!!!!!
just Unbrand
I just got a new Samsung Focus and all I did was dev unlock my device because I am a dev, but after that all I did was plug in my phone, unbrand it, and I got the 7008 update, followed by the another check and I got the Nodo update. No other mod necessary. Just an unlock and an unbrand and I got both updates.
hey all,
As all have seen in the forums, there is a beta of mango which is already running on our HD2's.
My question is:
Is it really worth to flash now or should we wait for later??
Which bugs have been registered with our devices until now?
Are they serious or only small bugs??
Thx in advance
I have noticed that several apps do not work properly on Mango. Either lagging or crashing. I reverted to nodo..
If you want to do some experiments then flash Mango now. If you need stable good work without waiting next unexpected reboot use Yuki V5.
A lot of bugs from small to big in Mango now .....
i think it's not the right place to open this thread, but, you have to try it
it has A LOT of bugs, everywhere.. in IE9, apps, etc etc etc
you can call and write sms, you have only 5 lenguages, and, not all apps work, so, if you need a stable phone, i adviced you to change to mango even if it works normally in phone functions
if you want to try the new speed, right, you can come back, sure!
so, simply you have to try if the bugs isn't big issues for you
I'm using Mango and am amazed how well it works. I encountered one real bug so far, in IE9. It doesn't seem to like Edge data networks. One other semi-bug is sometimes the links in the XDA website don't work...maybe it's just super slow loading, though.
Otherwise, all that I've tried so far works splendidly. Last night I used the Bluetooth to connect to a BT shelf speaker and it worked without a fault.
I can't say how it might work on a Euro HD2, but my T-Mobile US HD2 loves it. I also think Mango might handle video response differently for producing colors because the color reproduction on my HD2 running Mango is fantastic. I compared the display to my Focus, which runs Super AMOLED display and they are almost identical in color and the HD2 looks cleaner, crisper and has better white production than the Focus.
If you have a US HD2, go for it. I'm keeping mine because I like that much.
I have TMOUS. I did two attempts to flash this very green Mango, but couldn't live with it well. When I flashed and used mango i tell myself it is just small problem soon will be OK... bug... then another bug.... then during phone book loading to blueant reboot.... another reboot.... then apps don't work... so many more... So i can say my phone absolutly doesn't like Green Mango.
I finaly say - No can't live with it when perfectly working in all aspects NODO present. Went back to V5 NODO and so happy now again!!! But will wait of course final mango.
DO NOT FLASH HD2 MANGO!
Not worth it at all. It's all way to buggy and slow. It's almost like when android was first discovered onto our Leo devices- slow and cruddy but definitely has a future!
Thx for your feedback guys
I will not flash it, will wait for the final version
Have a nice weekend!!

Good choice. It was fun to experiment with, just to check it out. But as others have said it's waaaaayyy too buggy. 3rd party apps don't work, even some official apps like ebay don't work. Proximity sensor in-call doesn't work, so lots of hanging up or putting people on hold with cheeks, lol. IE9 is horrible in this build. Only Facebook integration works in the OS, etc. But I can tell you when it is done & we get a fully functional mango rom, it will be amazing!!!

Hmmm...you maybe should try the one from elfinlazz. It works splendidly and I just checked the PS and it worked like normal WP7. I did check the eBay app and couldn't get it to work. But it seems this elfinlazz ROM is closer to an actual WP7 than any of them.

I'll check, but it's never given me issues with any other WP7 roms. And I also have the class 4 sandisk 16 gb. But now that I'm back on Yuki's NoDo, it's running perfect again. Appreciate the help though.

Wish I had that kind of luck with the battery! Without any use it would last around 3 hours. With average use I'd get an hour of battery. Tried the cam trick & changing radio, but nothing wild improve it for me. Guess it's luck of the draw when it comes to battery & stability with the green mango roms. Still it does have some awesome new features. Can't wait for a ripe one.

Hi there,
Is it still buggy right now ?
I have a plan to upgrade from 6.5 to 7.5
thanks,

Hi guys, I haven't updated AT ALL. I remember reading somewhere here on XDA that someone had said, "Don't update if you're planning on rooting". But I really hate the software update popping up on me, and I'd like to have better battery from the second update T-Mobile sent out. What are your guys opinions? Will updating really affect any chances of me rooting my snapdragon S7 Edge? Since they update the 'security' of my device?
You need to update. If anything, you will only be able to unlock bootloader after an update where T-mobile allows to do so. They have previously stated they are working with Samsung on a solution. By not updating, you are only depriving yourself of much need software fixes.

Right? Either way I updated didn't take me a second to think about it because of root. Pfst if you don't want the fixes that the updates have pushed out then ok. But I'm telling you my battery life! Now I get really good 4 to 5 hours of normal use. I'm happy before the update I'd get 330 to 4 hours

It's a good update. Its 4pm and I have 68% remaining. Before the update I would have had about 38%
Usage is consistent. No real bug that I have noticed.

The update also fixes the overly sensitive touch screen. Definitely worth it. Also, if you're hoping for root to get ad blocking, check out netguard.

Definitely a great update, but I personally update regardless. And if it f**** me, so be it. I'm just saying I've seen others say more NOT to if you plan on rooting. Which I do, but I'm just a dumbass like that! LoL
Think this update made my battery worse tbh. I've been at work for 4 hours now with light usage and it's at 77%. It didn't get that low with heavier usage in same time frame pre update. Haven't installed anything before or after.
I have installed the updates and the overall performance and battery have improved a lot.
All those who buy new phone when it is first released become beta testers. Simple as that.

**** it might as well lol. I'm getting tired of seeing that stupid update notification anyway. I was just really holding back because I wanted to root my phone so I can get snappreffs and I can save dem nudes lol.
I updated after updating my boyfriend's phone. Got jealous. Going to jump soon anyways. Just need $22 more in payments. This device, as stated by many others, is dead and really has no development future. By the time bootloader is unofficially or officially unlocked there will be barely any developers with the phone still. Just enjoy the software updates. Pretty sure you need them for the latest Good Lock to work anyways, which is awesome btw no more quick connect or S search wasting space in my notification bar.

Tell me about it! I miss saving snaps, being able to see a snap forever, and having all the perks of being rooted lol. I've totally forgotten about Casper. How is it? Is it a good alternative to snappreffs? What's the main difference? Can you get caught using it? (Cause I think I've heard that sometimes it doesn't work and they'll get the notification that it screenshotted the picture).

It works pretty well....its a standalone app...no major special filters...but its stable and you download everything like snapprefs so it doesn't send notification of screenshot... Because in all actuality you don't screen shots....Casper logs you out of the snapchat app...so it cannot be used simultaneously... Its a good alternative until we get root access.
