Ive been searching for a while but didnt find this topic.
I like using android cause its a better os than winmo, and cause it connects to tmo 4g at 2800 kbps unlike the stock winmo rom that tmo pda engineers said is software capped for 3g speeds of 640kbps.
Is there a customized stock winmo rom thats avalible that has ability to see and connect to the 4g "H" network? Reason i ask is i do
still have use for winmo on hd2 for work purposes and when i do need to have it on for work, would like to browse web as fast as i do when android is on.
Thanks

I don't think it's the software, I'm pretty sure it's the hardware, the HD2 can't handle the speeds, it wasn't designed for it. I think TMO might have been talking about the new G2 that CAN handle the newer speeds.
It can handle up to atleast 3000kbps. but the engineers said its software capped at 3g, and confirmed that the android ports can reach higher 4g speeds (he said his did the same). its something in the android roms that unlocks it to work to atleast 2700kbps from the tests ive done with winmo and android (winmo full bar "3g" 700kbps android full bar "H" 2750kbps from mobilespeedtest.com). being in boston the 4g is live, and the 2 speed tests and completely different. I asked if there was going to be an update from htc to unlock windows mobil to use 4g as it can handle it, probably not as fast as g2, but faster than standard 3g. He said probably not so they can sell their g2, and suggested for the faster net to continue using the android port.
So figured id look here, and see if its been done yet, or that if its now a known issue, if the dev's can make something to unlock it.
That is odd. I used Elegancia and now ChuckyDroid and both of those show an H as my connection. With Elegancia I would easily get 2400 around town. Never tried with ChuckyDroid as I boot directly to Android now.
You should not be capped. Not with any of these ROMS here. Many have posted figures as high as 3000+ on this board.
Yeah im using the stock 3.15 tmo rom, and the darkstone desire hd rom. I try to stick to factory rom as i find it easier to navigate,and like the htc clock/weather widget (nice seeing if its raining ect before i leave the office)

On Android on my HD2, I topped out (using speedtest.net) at ~560 kB/sec (bytes) download, and 160 kB/sec upload. I guess that is somewhere around 4.5-5 mb/sec rate?
I'm in nyc metro area

You need to try the energy roms they allow you to connect to H. There are several in the thread, some offering a very factory feel but better and more efficient. (They also retain the clock widget and few cool variants of it)

I have always got the H symbol
with all the stock ROMS. And with speed tests teathered I get over 4Mbps. so It's not capped by software. BTW, I get those speeds on mobile speed tests too.
Yeah that information about the software being capped is complete crap. I use the stock 2.15 ROM and I consistently get 3Mbps AT LEAST on H and most of the time around 4Mbps while im out and about. For whatever reason it sounds like your Android port is "faster", but it also sounds like you use WinMo at work, and Android in other places, which would also definately account for your difference in speeds. The hardware itself is also most definately capable of utilizing "4G"(as I was recently just made aware).
Actually the test was taken at same spot, in parkinglot with full bars. Start in android get 2750 with "h" reboot to windows, same spot full bar "3g" and get 650. Wont connect to "h" in windows
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
check this
there is a spot in the data settings where you can turn HSPA on and off make sure yours isn't turned off. I don't have the stock rom so I am not sure where it is on there any more. I do know that it isn't turned on by default on some phones for some reason though.
Im in the Bronx,New York City area. Back in march when the phone 1st on the market . I was able to get speeds of 2.5-3.0mb/sec On H . Now I can only get 1.4 or so . It's fast enough that I can stream netflix movies thru my H connection to my Laptop when I'm on the go say on the Bus uptown. Right I'm using the energy 21680 rom with 2.14.50.04 radio.
Just because you don't see H doesn't mean your not connected to the H network. Many roms, including the stock roms, have the H symbol hidden. Many customized roms usually show H. Don't worry about seeing H or not.
In regards to the speed in android vs. win mobile, my hd2 gets slower speeds in windows mobile and much faster speeds in android in many areas. I download at around 1000/300kbps but on android i would get 3000/500kbps. I would imagine its because android uses ppp or rmnet connection methods vs. whatever windows mobile uses. (I think its ppp and rmnet at least. don't ask me what they do, not too sure)

please explain to me how ive hit 5.5mbps on my stock rom? The stock HD2 software/hardware is fully capable of utilizing HSPA 7.2 though you'll likely never see 7.2 mbps in real world usage due to network congestion and TCP/IP overhead. like others have said on here, tmobile hides the "H" on their stock rom. why? ive no clue, maybe to not confuse the hell out of your joe blow customer who knows what 3G is but hasnt a clue what the H means
Out of curiosity though, does anyone know what needs to be changed in a stock rom to make it display the H? im assuming its a registry mod, or a replacement icon library file which contains the H icon

That is very true. Using the stock notification icons, I could only see [3G], but using a custom set with the stock ROM(or any ROM for that matter), I switch between [H] and [3G]. Thanks for pointing that out!

Curious if you could link to this custom icon set that can be installed on the stock rom?
I do not remember where I got it from exactly, or who made it, but I do know that there are a plethora of them available in the "HD2 Themes and Apps" sub forum of the LEO section here at XDA. Heres what my homescreen looks like now with the custom icons:

Please don't use all CAPS, it is considered shouting.
Not to be too obvious, but have you purchased a data plan from T-Mobile? If so, they can assist far better than we can.
Your HD2 will not connect to "4G"....
You may be getting confused with HSDPA which over here sometimes gets called "3.5G"
Hey I just flashed my droid x to cricket and the internet is really slow. On the top of phone it says 1x and little arrows under that. Isn't there supposed to be a 3g symbol there instead . Is it supposed to be like that. How can I make it faster. Any ideas. Also if I flash cm6 will I loose my full flash
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
looks like a poor signal issue to me does the phone work better in a diffrent area of town ?? or outside ??.
Its my understanding c6 is not for the DX you should check it out a bit better.
Cricket phones being on a different network may not work as well with a lot of the posted Rom's. Is the SBF for a Cricket phone different ?
Just some quick thought about your issues,hope they help...
Wat is the SBC? No i had the zio from kyocera before this one and it was pretty fast. Actually it was super fast on the web compared to this one. Could it be maybe the Guy who flashed it for me didn't flash it right.

A SBF is a system boot File. it contains boot up file, programs & system files and may contain phone (radio) files for your particular network which is Cricket. Most of the info here IMHO pertaind to Verizon.
I would search around in a thread that pertains to Cricket and SBF files and Roms.
Even though you have a DroidX thing are different with system files etc.
I just cancelled my wireless broadband service with Cricket after 4 solid months of crap for service. They were going to get the problem fixed for 3.5 months in my area.
I fixed it a couple of days ago. "CANCELLED THE SERVICE"....
Do you have an appropriate PRL file for Cricket? If not, that can be the root of some of your problems..
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
How would I go about getting a prl file. I never flashed a phone so all this is new. Does any one no of a good rom that I could use without loosing the full flash or any way to get around that
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The person who flashed your phone did not do it properly and you do not have authentication for the EvDO(3G) network for your carrier. You only have 1X authentication so you are limited to 144Kbps.
You need to go back to that person and get them to fix it.
I do not recommend trying to fix it yourself unless you understand how to use software that can access the NVRAM and fix the data authentication items required for EvDO access on Cricket. The phone is setup to default to Verizon data authentication and rewrites those values to the MIP profile every time the phone boots. That has to be fixed in exactly the right way for it to work on Cricket and for those values to persist after a reboot. That is what they did wrong.
There is no SBF for Cricket because these phones are VZW exclusive devices.
Oh and SBF= Single Binary File that contains all of the code groups for the various partitions in the device's flash memory.
Ok so ur saying it is PR isn't or is possible to get evdo
Sent from my Droid x using XDA App
Yes, it is possible and is done frequently by people who know how.
You paid to have it flashed once I assume and you should have them fix it for you.
There are many threads about flashing to Cricket on many forums that explain in detail what you need to do. It is not an easy hack for a novice, unless you want to do a lot of research and find and learn to use software like CDMA Workshop or QXDM.
Hey guys,
I was hoping I could tap your brains for some EVO knowledge. I've been rocking CM7 for awhile now and love it. The only "problem" seems to be how it handles the 4g connection. It seems like it will either use 4g OR 3g and if I turn on 4g but there is no coverage (or it drops out) it does not immediately default to 3g. I know on Sense roms that when 4g stopped, 3g kicked in. Has anybody else seen this?
I find 4G on CM7 more unstable than on sense when I use it. It's hard to keep a connection and seems to take longer to connect. One of the reasons I recently switched back to a sense rom.

I've actually experienced the opposite.
I could barely use 4G on any Sense ROM. It would spike my CPU at 100% (even after full wipes), it would disconnect and take forever to reconnect.
Since moving to CM7, 4G connections really quick and usually stays established with no problems.

Where are you reading that they updated 4G codes? Their changelog only says they changed a notifications bug and also a security hole.

They updated the code but I just realized it's only on the nightly. There is a problem with the nightly where mms wont download, so if mms is important, don't flash it yet

That's going to be in 7.1.
I've found WiMax on CM7 to be about the same as on Sense, which is to say it's flaky on both. I don't think it's really the phone or the ROM's fault. Sprint/Clear just hasn't built a strong enough 4G network to provide a good experience. Any time it constantly has to switch back and forth (which is going to be the case with the high frequencies they're running at and insufficient power or tower density to compensate), the experience won't be very satisfying.

I was using cm7 for a little bit...4g in chicago was slowwww to connect if it did at all...i just switched to virus's gingersense b3 and it is awesome...waiting on his kingdome port with sense 3.0 sometime tonight
i think it's pretty expected that two unpaid coders won't make as good of a code than a multi-billion/million/lotta$$$ corp can. amazing work either way though. that said, try one of the cm7.1 nightlys (any #60+ nightly, not counting stable 7.0.3, that's still 2.3.3) as the new android 2.3.4 has google's own 4g wimax coding in it.
Waiting to download the Kingdom ROM from XxXViRuSXxX. Apparently 4g works great and it has the new Sense 3.0, which is beautiful! It won't be bug free but I plan on jumping in and helping out and soon it will be a daily driver
What is cm7?
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!

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)

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.
Every time I flash to a CM Based, AOKP, AOSP Rom they play store only works on Wifi or 4G data connection. Every time I try to access the store in 3G I get the "Connection Timed Out Retry" Screen. As soon as I connect back to Wifi it works and when im in a LTE area no issues there. Does anyone else have this same issue? Has anyone found a solution to this. I do not have this issue on any TW rom.
I love these roms and hate being restricted to TW Roms since there aren't many to choose from.
Really Really Really wish we could get Wicked Sensations on the Sprint S4. I wouldn't have any reason for this post. Makes me wanna go back to the S3. Dazed come on man!!!!!
