Hi Guys, sorry for posting up - but I tried and tried searching, and I cant post in the dev forum..
First up - Had my UK HD2 for about a year, got fed up with hardly any updates and naff apps, so.. not listerning to that little voice in your head that says.. DONT DO IT!.. I researched and finally flashed the rom.
Everything went well.. (good job got a year left on contract!) - desire rom is up and running. Taken me a few days to work out what apps where causing me probs, but mostly its running very well. Finds my orange network.. works on wifi - its all good.
One prob I do have.. everytime I use a GPS program I get a 'freeze', google maps is quite important to me as I do a fair bit of travelling..
(its not a program thing - its the GPS) - tried many different GPS proggies.
So.. does anyone know if:
1) There's a patch or something to fix it?
2) If there's an update to the rom as its a few months old
([30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM)
3) How do I disable the ad's
.. other than that, its lovely!
Got angry birds to work by copying to the phone ram, stops the freezing.
One more question.. I downloaded an explorer app to access my home network NAS, works well - but some of the movies are in DIVX or WMV format and wont stream or play - any free suggestions?
Lovin it, big thankyou to everyone that contributed to me having the phone I always wanted.. Beer donation WILL be forthcoming, once I've got these probs solved.
Try the fix posted in the thread below, "instantaneous GPS fix)
Try adfree from market to stop ads.
I hear RockPlayer is good for video files.
If above don't work, install a more recent android build
Hope this helps

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!

Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps
That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

maybe you should try a diffrent rom then sorry i cant help more, but its defo working on mine
Thanks anyway, appreciate the input. Lets hope an OD user stumbles upon this thread
I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?

I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

Just tried it a bit. I'm on Fresh 3.2. It used to not even connect, just say "Aquiring Data Connection"
With this update it plays and doesn't loop, but it sure does jump and skip quite a bit. Guess it's a start....
Only Froyo ROM I've ever gotten SXM to work right on is CM6 - which I don't wanna go back to.
Nice thanks for the update. I guess signing up on their webpage for an update email was pointless.

Well thats how I found out they emailed me. Also make sure you dont have the stagefright fix since I am also running Fresh 3.2 and had to switch back to stock stagefright files in order for it to play properly.
1 hr running and no problems so far... Thanks XM

Please tell me what you did to stagefright. I know Flipz made some changes to it but I don't know how to undo them. In my build.prop the player is enabled and it still skips a lot.
Thanks!!
I am using Fresh 3.2 and the new SiriusXM app is working fine for me. I'd say about 3 skips every hour or so. I actually only use this for Bloomberg and CNBC - I much prefer slacker and pandora for music, so a couple of skips is no big deal for me.
What I desperately can't figure out is how to record a live stream off the sound card (for lack of a better term). All recording apps seem to use the microphone only. Any ideas so that I can listen to specific CNBC shows like Kudlow on my ride home?

Just extract the stagefright files from your original rar file and then ad push or copy and paste with Root explorer into the system/lib folder overwriting the files that are there now
Then replace the build.prop with the one from your original rom rar file as well.
I WIll try and attached them here for you.... what rom are you running

Actually, after a reboot, I'm finding no skips at all as well.
Hate to bump this thread up again, but seemed like the best place to post rather than making a new thread.
Is anybody having issues with SXM 1.1 and connecting in the past couple of days? Its worked flawlessly for me since the update, and I've been happy with it again. However, now, on startup, the application hangs on "Checking for Updates".
Tried clearing data, uninstall/reinstall, and hard reset fresh install. All no dice.
Anybody else having issues?
Hi I'm still an Android noob. I got my white Dell Streak from Bestbuy about a week ago. It took me a while, but I was able to update my phone to the stock 2.2 after several failure. My phone works flawlessly and so far I only experience FC probably 2 or 3 times mostly due to applications (knock on wood) .
However, the Onion News Network and the Dictionary.com apps have been giving me trouble .
I couldn't get the Onion News apps to pass the initial update and every time when I click on the pronunciation link on the Dictionary.com, the downloading circular icon would appear, buy it will take forever and nothing would happen.
By the way, I could watch any clip on the Onion News website and hear the pronunciation on Dictionary.com fine by using the default Android browser.
Could anyone please help me download the apps and verify to see if this is happening to all the 2.2 Dell Streak? I would like to know if this is happening to everyone or maybe I messed up my Streak.
I tried to search the forum and the web, but I could find anything so far.
Thanks a lot.
Bump.
Could someone please helpl me download those programs and let me know if this is an isolated issue or it happens on all 2.2 Streak? I would really appreciate your help.
Holla,
What is the advantage of using more recent versions of Android compared to older ones? I have a HD2 with Android 2.2.1, is there any purpose to update it with Gingerbread?
Warmest regards from a stoked HD2 user.
To be honest, I found very little difference with Gingerbread. I did end up going back to a Froyo build though because there were a number of apps that didn't work with Gingerbread, or they did but not fully.
I liked the keyboard and the notification bar, but that was about it. Let's face it, they can be changed anyway!
I think the only real difference I've seen is the text editing where you can select text more easily. Other than that, it's just personal preference. I'm sticking with it though

EXT4 file system? newer modem?

The differences between froyo and gingerbread are minimal. if you are such a fanatic (like me) who want to have the best of the best, you should updated. Otherwise it would be better to keep froyo on your phone, because its faster (300 or more points more in quadrant) and all apps work with froyo. gb is a lil bit unstable (however) and 40% of all apps won' work with gb. the new keyboard looks better but it's annoying to have so small buttons on this keyboard with such a big screen. i don't use the stock keyboard and notification bar is not as amazing as people say. believe me, kepp up froyo for maybe 2 months and then you can think about changing ^^
Thanks
Thanks dudes for all the feedback! Guess I will stay with my setup I have, I thought games and graphics ran smoother with a new release.
Cheers,
Mike
I haven't encountered a single app that is incompatible. Which apps are you guys referring to?

I had a few that didn't work, but couldn't tell you now what they are other than 1 for sure.
I use SwitchPro (very configurable power widget) and half of the toggles stopped working. For example, if I clicked the GPS toggle it did nothing. At first I thought it was because GPS didn't work on the build I was using, but if I went into settings I could turn it on there without a problem, and it worked fine.
Like I said, there were a few apps I noticed wouldn't work, but that's the only one I can remember.

I know one that doesn't fully work. it's AirSync DoubleTwist its not compatible with GB yet, it gives you "Network Error" when you try to connect wirelessly. But when I switched back to Froyo it works again.

I think the browser on gingerbread is faster and more responsive compared to froyo in opening pages and all that stuff
Hi.
I have a problem (little or not ;-)). When i try run Angry Birds on HTC HD2 and Android Gingerbread CyanogenMod 7 SD i have an error: "The application Angry Birds (process com.rovio.angrybirds)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Do you have any suggestions what's the problem is?
Please help....
P.S. sorry for my english ;-)

Move it to your phone
Settings / applications / manage apps / click on angry birds / move to phone
I find some other apps do the same, usually one's with Widgets keep them on your phone and you should have no problems
gingerbread is smooth & fast, and compatibility is accepted

It works, thanks!! I have a question: is any app or system settings to my HD2, who's give me a capability to run games from sd card ?
I'm gonna wait until there's more app compatibility, as right now I don't really see any big reasons to switch yet. I also don't 100% trust ext4 yet, as I've encountered the known issues with large files on my Ubuntu server(which may just be due to Ubuntu implementation). I doubt it would crop up on the HD2, but still...
Gingerbread 2 major chances are :
OpenGL ES2.0 (not backwork compatible with 1.1)
Built in SIP client (Enterprise usage)
other than those two, the rest are fixes.
i have the same prob as miod3k... do i hav to shift the apps to phone for it to work...i mean my other apps lik palringo n facebook n stuff lik that r in the sd card...
When I run Android on my Leo the battery was discharge very fast(about 8 hours). Do you now what the problem is ?
