1 month of torment over?... please tell me it is..

I got my HD2 a month or so ago after waiting about as long to get it.
my first call with it, was to tech support.. and things never really got better..
the amount of time Ive spent on the phone with tech support would probably be measured in days.
the list is..
Battery loasts about 12 hours of normal use.. I.E. i take it off the charger at 8am 3g enabled.. some light browsing, and 20 or so miniutes worth the talk time throughout the day.. no navigation.. no movies.. by 8pm or there abouts i start getting warnings to plug it in to avoid possable data loss.. its dead..
never stays on network.. i reboot the phone perhaps a dozen or so times a day.. the internet just flat out quits.. it says I have 3g.. but web pages wont load, and my messaging app (palringo) wont connect.. reboot.. and it works.. for a while.. maybe 5 min maybe 2 hours..
i have mail!!! no i dont.. in fact i dont even have mail setup on the phone, but none the less, it always says I have 1 new mail.. go figure..
sometimes after a reboot the green light keeps blinking, like i have a sms or something, i have no messages.. reboot the phone again.. and its gone
the speaker phone quits working if I dial 611... the customer care app they have on there screws it up apparently (tier 2 support told me the app causes it) reboot the phone.. and it works again.. till i diall 611 that is.
they have had me do the master reset 4 times
reinstall the update 3 times (despite the phone already being "up to date when i got it"
and take the battery out more times than i can count.
needless to say, i haven't installed much of anything on the phone.. considering the next master reset is only a day or so away usually.
Tell me this is an anomaly, tell me the next one will be better, tell me this phone does not suck this bad.

phone doesn't suck, it's juct the techie or whoever put the stock ROM and/or initial settings. T-Mobile?

Look for hspl2 and install it then install radio rom 2.10.50.xx that should sort that out

you do actually have one email. as with all email clients they come with a new mail to tell you how great they are. That is exactly what this mail is.

No smart assed answer for this one. The new radio may fix it but i'm not positive.

Only if you sit on my face and tell me that you love me, ROFL .
Seriously though, i've not had any major problems with my Leo. I have had to hard reset it once but that was my own fault. I also have found that the newer roms (1.66wwe, 2.10 tmous or 3.01 based custom roms) have less issues. This also goes for the radio roms. The newer ones (2.10.50.xx and 2.11.50.20 <-- only use that with 3.01 or higher roms) are better for performance and battery life than older ones. You may just need to take a leap of faith and go down the custom route.

I know this may sound like a steep learningcurve, but read how to flash a ROM and put something better software on it. This should solve most of the problems.
However... Perhaps wait for some more comments first, as ROM flashing, despite causing few problems and being reversible, can infringe your manufacturer's warranty and if this is a hardware problem, I don't want you to lose your rights.
(Tip: Try EnergyRom, I'm not saying it's the best, jsut that I'm using it at the moment and can say the current release is nice and stable)

I'll second that. I actually did a lot of research before i flash my first custom rom (which happened to be the latest 23569 energy rom) and i would definitely say it is the best out there (especially in standard sense guise) and i'd recommend it to anyone looking to flash their first custom rom.

Alternatively, if, like me, you are afraid of going through the difficult process of getting a new ROM here, just follow the straight-forward way of doing it officially trough HTC's website.
They have ROM upgrades for O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone. I haven't done it yet because l'm waiting for my laptop to be returned from the repair shop. I guess HTC ROM's are not as good as the many you can get from here.
The 'official' ones are bloated with lots of unecessary stuff while the 'cooked' ones have all the essentials + added & tuned functionality. Just be very careful and do not brick your HD2. It is a very good phone when it behaves properly.
Try & download an excellent reset .cab (Touch X Reset) from this forum; it will save you a lot of time because you'll not need to constantly remove the back cover & the battery. Good luck.

i hope this that you mean you are getting a new one. sounds like your device is a lemon. i agree with the posters above that you should try flashing a new rom; really if you read a lot beforehand there is little chance of bricking your phone and what do you have to lose? you can always go back to stock. but personally, the device should work out of the box. flashing should simply be an option to make it better. you should not have to flash a new custom rom just to make the thing work (e.g. doing the basics - like make phone calls, etc.)
so next time when you are about to do a master reset, read and flash a new rom. maybe it will be the cure. but if you have a warranty i would return the sucker and get one that can do what you are paying for it to do.
cheers.

Hi, a couple of points worth noting.
If you are in an area where the signal from your provider is very poor, ie almost non-existent, the phone will be constantly try to log-in to the network. This will drastically reduce your battery life.
Also, when there is no network it can sometimes show the 3G symbol in the status bar making you think you have somehow managed to achieve the impossible but Opera will stay blank.

Rapidly losing patience w/ my Vibrant

I got my first Vibrant on launch day with high hopes. Two weeks later I had a new one due the phone freezing EVERY time I opened Google Maps. I've held on to this one now waiting for a GPS fix and JI6 worked great for me....for about the first week. Now its just as bad as ever.
I get an initial fix much quicker, but after about five minutes it loses GPS signal completely and indefinitely. In the past week my phone has begun freezing AGAIN, including three times today alone. Two of the times I would go to unlock my phone and nothing would happen. The screen would remain off, softkeys wouldn't light up, and a long press on the power button does nothing. I have to pull the battery out and reboot.
This is incredibly frustrating because this phone takes nearly 5 minutes to boot (never actually timed it but I have to imagine somewhere close to that). So its a long wait before I can do what I intended to do. I did notice that Shopsavvy was sucking on the GPS signal when I rebooted the phone so perhaps that's what was secretly crashing it (Needless to say, ShopSavvy got the boot after the second freeze).
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the Maps updates w/ no change. I would bring the phone back but T-Mo doesn't have any other phones I want. My Touch 4G is hideous and I don't want another QWERTY like the G2.
So did I just end up with another dud Vibrant or is there a fix? Would rooting fix my problems? This phone has never been rooted or hacked in any way.
Any ideas???

Short answer: Yes.
Short but longer answer: At least install a LagFix. I got back and forth between stock JI6 and Fusion 1.1 a lot. JI6 with a custom kernel and LagFix is butter. Fusion is even better.
You may have a dud though. I haven't had that many problems except for things I did myself.

I did not know what a real smartphone was supposed to be until I rooted and custom rom(ed) it.
For the first 3 months I had the phone... I was reluctant to root. But ofcourse... It was just another phone... laggy and slow...
Until I rooted and installed Bionix. Now its smooth as butter.
Good things in life are always free. I paid for a suffocated phone... xda developers free services released and refreshed my phone.

Well
I would install Fusion 1.1 with the Core kernel from Sombionix and see if that fixes it. Stock is totally unacceptable.
If it stills sucks, its likely a dud.

You must either be getting dud phones, or you're installing some app that's messing them up(?) I'm stock/unrooted, and very happy. Not that I doubt the happy results reported by folx like those above, but I don't have bothersome "lag" or freezing etc. -- no issues that even tempt me to ROM-swap (I wouldn't have kept the phone if I weren't satisfied w/it stock).
My GPS did used to lose signal as you report; haven't given it a good comparison test since JI6 update.

Well I've rooted using OCLF and also applied the lag fix. No change.
I still find the phone dead 2-3 times a day with no warning. I'll go to wake it up and nothing happens.
Some of you think installing a new ROM with help? How can I do that? The one time I tried using ODIN, it was never able to identify my phone.
Ugh, why can't this POS just work.

Did you make sure you had the Samsung USB Driver for the Vibrant? If you don't Odin won't recognize your phone. Also important to have a newer version of Odin. Like I have 1.7. And last as Odin is a little troublesome, you should have Odin up and running before you connect your phone. Read the Bible in the Dev section for links.

1) Could be a dud, it happens
2) When I first got my Vibrant, it boots up so fast. Its because there are hardly any apps installed that as part of the boot up process, go and check on. I think it has to do with the cache, because once you load it up with apps, the time it takes to get to the home screen is noticeably longer.
Also ShopSavvy is a bit wonky with the gps, so I disabled that setting in the app. But my though is you might have a bad app installed or something funky on the internal/sd memory that its fighting with. I'd say as something to just try for kicks, backup everything, copy memory to your pc, wipe the memory and do a factory reset(You could odin to stock, but you'll lose the Sims app). If things work, slowly add your apps back in.
As for gps, yes before the update it just wouldn't lock or would take forever, but still not be very accurate. After the update(but then also after alot of flashing different roms, then finally just going back to stock), gps works like a champ. But I would also point out that gps is vulnerable to several things. Don't place the phone near any large metal or magnetic object, this will throw the compass off. And always try to have a clear view of the sky, without being in a 'canyon' of buildings. The buildings distort the signal(which in the case of gps is just a signal that tells the time) and can throw off the reading(which is where the a in agps is supposed to come in).

Positive Experience With Bell I9000m + Doc Froyo 7.6.2 + Battery Life Question

I thought I'd start a thread detailing my successful experience installing Doc's Froyo rom with the few snags I met along the way, and see if anyone had similar experiences they were able to fix.
I'd been running JH2 for a few months without any major issues, but wanted Adobe Air support so I figured I'd bite the bullet and update. I followed the steps below:
- Backed everything up (nandroid and Titanium, just in case)
- Cleared caches via CWM
- Didn't do a factory reset because I was feeling brazen
- Used CWM to flash rom
- Rebooted as the instructions told me to, set up the various tweaks and voodoo kernel
- Installed the Swype pack
- Applied the application packs
The applications wouldn't install unless I dropped out of CWM to 2e and flashed them as an update.zip, which was odd but worked once I tried it that way.
So far, two days later, my phone has been stable and responsive with no FC issues. Incoming and outgoing calls work well, all of the data from my apps was where it needed to be and I've not experienced any market issues; all-in-all, it's a great experience. A few minor (I'm assuming) problems below:
- I've noticed that when the screen is on, the phone runs MUCH warmer than it used to. About the same temperature as it gets when I'm making a call and the signal is quite low.
- The battery life seems to be directly related to the temperature, if the phone is asleep, it appears to give me the same amount of drain overnight as my previous JH2 system. If I use the phone with the screen on, however, I lose approximately 13% per hour with nothing running other than gmail in the background, handcent, and an offline card game.
My next steps will be to test various lag-fixes included to see if the temperature and battery problems persist, but as long as they're not affecting anything (e.g. won't kill my internal / external SD) I can comfortably say I'm still very happy with the upgrade. In the meantime, if anyone has any information they'd like to share that might help out, I'd be very appreciative!
*a couple hours later*
I disabled the lag fix and have had the phone running a 20 minute video on YouTube over the HSPA connection after sitting with the screen on (min brightness) for a half hour. The results: the phone is barely warm to the touch and the battery has only dropped a few percent. That would lead me to believe that the problems were almost certainly based on the lag fix I had applied in the modified CWM included with Doc's rom. I'm going to mess around a bit more to see if I can verify this for certain, but I thought I'd update this post in the meantime.

My phone is very warm with this setup as well.

Further Investigating Reveals...
The lag fix really does appear to be the culprit for both the temperature and battery life problems I was having. I left my phone doing various things and took some notes:
5:11pm - Batt: 39% - Started Quake 2 and left it running with sound on
5:21pm - Batt: 35% - Quit Quake 2 and left the phone running with google talk, screen on
6:00pm - Batt: 28% - Screen still on, various apps running here and there, a bit of youtube
7:00pm - Batt: 19% - Turned screen off, left google talk running, received a few texts and gtalk messages
7:41pm - Batt: 18% - Screen still off, more messages
8:03pm - Batt: 16% - Standby, still...
8:35pm - Batt: 15% - Still on standby, few more texts
10:45pm - Batt: 9% - Standby, texts, just going to let it die completely at this point
Throughout all of that, I checked the temperature on the phone by touching the back of the case and the screen. With the lag-fix enabled, they were both quite hot just playing a card game, but this time running quake and streaming video left the screen cool to the touch and the back never got more than slightly warm.
So that's where I am right now, I'm going to try some of the other lag-fixes tomorrow when I have some time.

I just recently changed to docs rom and checking out which lagfix will give me the performance I want but the battery life I can use. Going oclf to jfs to ext 4 over the next few days with no other changes. We will see

Sorry, completely forgot to post that. JPO with the JPE modem (installed from the JPD update package in Doc's post)

Try Doc's JP6 V6 Rom.. the battery life on it is great... the new version 7.6.2 my battery life is not that good its likely the radio causing the issue. if you clear your battery stats files you do get better battery life. also when you clear your battery stats make sure you do it when the phone is at 100%

I flashed the latest doc rom. Lost 850 band and even though it's selected in the 0011 menu it never switches to out anymore. Other than that minor bugs but very quick.

The reports of better battery life on that one in the (very extensive) thread on Doc's rom. I noticed it was hot nearly immediately after booting up, so that was one of the first things I did which means I can't really say whether or not it was worthwhile.
The battery life while I'm using this build isn't great, and I noticed yesterday the phone was certainly running warmer with the screen on than normal. My data speeds also seem relatively slow, about half of what I was used to before, but that could just be where I was in the house when I ran Speed Test.
Still 80% happy, though, and am able to work on some app development in Adobe Air, which was my main motivation for 2.2

I installed 7.6.2 last night, had some problems getting SWYPE installed but mostly because I didn't realize I needed to use 2e to get it to work.
Lost 850 band but using the COMBI menu I was able to re-add it and it seems okay now. I installed a different icon pack so I'm probably not used to how it looks now, signal sort of seems lower but maybe just my perception.
Battery life seems a little lower but I haven't used the phone enough to know for sure and I'm using a round battery indicator with numbers which is a lot more accurate than the crappy indicator that comes with the default stock rom.
My biggest issue now is that I can't take incoming calls. The phone app FCs and I don't know how to fix it. It was suggested I copy my /efs backup overtop of what exists on the device now but I can't see how that will make any difference.
I installed JPA (instead of JPO) but I'm not sure that matters much.
If copying over /efs makes no difference I may be forced to do a factory reset and try again, which I'm not thrilled about since the phone is so close to being 100% functional. I guess if I HAVE to try again I'll try JPO instead.

I have read that a factory reset from FroYo can brick your phone, I'd avoid that. Did you try clearing all of the caches from the clockwork recovery menu? I recall reading somewhere that would fix the FC on incoming calls issue.

Did any of you sucessfully flashed a bunch of times and had no sd corruption on i9000m ?
I bricked 2 phones already... Froyo was working fine for 1 week then, one morning black screen

No dice, launched into CWR, cleared the cache and dalvik cache, fixed the permissions, then rebooted, took forever and still get FC when the phone rings.
It feels like some sort of software issue so the other hint I got about copying back the backup of /efs seems like a red herring to me. At this point I'm at a loss. The ROM seems pretty decent (I don't know if I agree with a lot of the hype around it) but without incoming calls it's pointless.

I have flashed my phone about 20 times since Aug... not issues here.

flashed 7.6.2 today. seems to be working great. snappy. no lagfixes applied.
i see the he just released v8, but didn't want to try it so soon after release.
edit: phone was fine and then everything was FC'ing. I restarted it and now I loop the boot screen. still have cwm, so i will start fooling around with it tomorrow.
edit2: flashed with odin back to jh2. seems to be okay.

Bell Canada Froyo 2.2 Now On Kies (WooHoo) 09Dec2010

Way to go Bell!!
Stayed up late and 2.2 came back on at about 130am last night. Did the upgrade in about 10 minutes.
EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH FROYO!!
My overnight battery drained about 2% instead of 50%.
Been using it for over 2 hours and battery at 83%
GPS locks on INHOUSE in 20 sec accuracy +-20m, however, outside locks on in about 7 seconds and accuracy +-3m. Went for a quick drive and GPS stayed with me.
OS is lightning fast with no lag
No Crashes, No Freezes (my phone shutdown usually 4-5 times a day)
Flash Video works
Onboard voice control/voice dialer works
Even my 3G/HSPA are not dropping off as it usually does every few minutes for a second or two
This is the phone I thought I had bought from Bell Canada/ 5 months later, it really works.
Bell may have been about last out of the gate, but I think(at least so far) they have built the winner.

Im sitting here with a rooted jk4 upgraded through kies from jpo and lagfixed all w/o odin.

Quick question I'm hoping someone can answer for me.
I just flashed to 2.2 via Kies. I had lagfix disabled before doing so.
Now that the flash is done and I'm on 2.2, if I wipe the Internal SD, this will remove the file that disables lagfix... so on startup will lagfix now try to re-enable? And give me problems because it's not 2.2 compatible?
Or did the flashing process to 2.2 completely remove the lagfix kernel, and I no longer need the disable file?
TIA!

Does this update on kies delete everything off your phone? like apps etc?
I ask because i'm going away soon and i don't think i can get everything back before i go, so i might have to wait till i am back from vacation to upgrade.

can someone pull the modem and post it.

I ask because i'm going away soon and i don't think i can get everything back before i go, so i might have to wait till i am back from vacation to upgrade.

Does the upgrade wipe anything off the phone, such as contacts, pictures? Can anyone confirm?
Cant wait to go home to do this now

[Q] Android System is draining my battery a lot since I updated my phone to Kitkat

Before the update everything was fine. Now if I turn on the screen or listen to music the phone would awake (it would show that it was asleep in jellybean). When I turn off the screen and I am not listening to music then my phone falls asleep. Android system used to be awake under 20 mins over a 15-30 hr span now it can be well over an hour in 4-9 hr span. I did a factory reset yesterday already, uninstalled all of my apps and reinstalled them when I seen that the problem still exist. I googled the problem, but can't find a solution. Is anyone else getting a Android System battery drain like me.

Yes, I am having the same problem. I was told to do a factory reset but I cant even back up my phone with kies because it the MTP driver keeps failing to install and Kies says I have to use Kies 3 even though the Samsung Site says 3 is for the Galaxy Note..
Did you sideload your update or was it OTA?

It was a OTA. I did a factory reset already, but that didn't fix the problem unfortunately.

yeah I side loaded the update and I am on 100% stock no rooting or anything. My phone gets really hot all of a sudden and the battery starts dropping like crazy. I have none of the apps running so I don't know what the problem is..

that is odd. I was reading the forums on the sprint galaxy note 3 update, and people have posted pix of their battery stats. Their stats looks similar to mine. The people there was saying that maybe the problem would fix itself over a week. Im hopping it do, because I am really loving kitkat...minus this issue of course.

oh wow. You definitely have an app that is not liking kitkat. Your phone does not fall asleep when you turn your screen off. Im really trying to figure out why your phone is doing that. Im going to assume that "lookout" and "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" are the problem. My opinion is that you don't need those as much as you think you do. they are most likely the cause of your drainage. My phone falls asleep as soon as i turn off the screen. Now i have 90% battery life with almost an hr of SOT left, and thats on 4g LTE the entire time.

Heres my stats new stats

I had alot of problems when on wifi, don't use it anymore and sticking with 4g. I'm at 30% left with just over 4 hours screen on. I'm guessing it's something either Google or Samsung have syncing more often on wifi, on wifi I'd be dead at 3 or 4 hours screen on time

Thats interesting. I haven't used my phone on wifi yet, because its a little inconsistent right now. If your phone is acting up while connected to wifi then it got to be something on samsung's end. You can end up with just over 5 and a half hrs of SOT if you stick to 4g and don't want any problems. I would keep testing how things go on both wifi and 4g over the next couple of days if i were you to see if the problems continues though. What problems are you getting while connected to wifi?

Another one of the major problems I am having is that sometimes my apps don't work. When i clicked on the camera it did not show up the app opens but the camera does not turn on. This leads to a major lag and when I try to press the home button it does not work. Then my phone's screen just shuts off and I cant turn it back on via the home button or the power button.
This also leads to the phone getting hot and losing the battery very quickly..
oh and btw the S5 does not seem to impressive to me..

I had the same problem at first. Waited a few days and it still drained badly. Then I went into startups and turned off a few of the apps I never use. Working fine now.

What apps did you disabled, and could you include a screen shot of your battery activity if you don't mind.

Same problem as the op. Android system would take alot and phone wouldn't sleep. But on 4g it sleeps. Could be an app I have I dunno. 4g is fast here so it's not a problem for me

i reset the phone and didn't install any apps and come to find out that its something that is already on the phone. I had no apps on my phone and android system and android os were in the top three that was taking up a lot of battery.

I recently had an issue with Android OS draining a lot of battery. I read somewhere that disabling stuff from Google sync that you don't use can help, so I disabled sync for all Google services except the ones I use, such as contacts, calendar, app data, people details, and play books. I rebooted and watched my battery for the next couple of days. And it worked. My battery life is a lot better, and Android OS is not using nearly as much battery as it did before. Perhaps this will help you guys?

***UPDATE on HOW TO FIX***
I HAD terrible batt drain with nae.. so bad that i left the device on the charger overnight qnd woke up to 35% batt... i got mad and reflashed stockish v6.. but.. batt drain was the same...
so.. here is what i did... i ended up flashing negalite r6 and the batt was so bad my phone would be dead within 1hr.. SO, FOR KICKS, i reflashed the MK2 modem and HOLY COW!, problem solved!!
im currently on negalite r6 ( a nae rom ) but using the mk2 modem and my batt drain problems are gone. in fact im getting great batt life. i didnt change the kernal or anything. i have flashed ktoonsez kernal over it, and it has not effected batt life at all...
in conclusion, if ur batt life sux, try reflashing mk2 modem.. it worked for me.. and yes 4g, mms, calls, and wifi work without any problem...
hope this helps
