just picked up a rom version 1.19 HD

Just bought my HTC HD in Thailand, shipped from Hong Kong with Italian manuals however the rom is 1.19.831.0 and rom date 11/27/08. Forgive me if this isn't news, I haven't seen anything other than 1.14!
After the diamond i am very impressed. Upgrades to all on screen menus but particularly the quick dialing menu on the people screen makes it almost worth using over the normal phone menu. Someone's obviously been listening to the niggles that were a barrier to immersion with previous HTC products...
No flash out the box tho despite thumb nails and previews showing on certain sites and the battery doesn't look like its as good as has been mentioned but on the whole very pleased after 4 hours play.
Amerisoft is slower than Super, QMC and SPB mobile DVD! I'm weeping for my lost childhood

Thanks for the inforamtion, all will added it to wiki

radio version is 1.09.25.14 protocol 52.49a.25.26U
I don't have this info tab to find build however in the "about" i have CE OS 5.2.20764 build 20764.1.4.3
ROm 1.19.831.0 (25581) WWE
I don't know what that all signifies but the fact that when i hang up from a call from an unknown number and it offers me the ability to save to an existing contact (ala most new phones), thus saving the tedium of copy and pasting... i like!

Battery life should improve after a few charging cycles.
I really like to know what has been fixed in v1.19 ROM.
Please can you do a QWERTY test and type really fast in office word and see you get the few seconds delay/lag where nothing responds. This may be fixed in your ROM version?

why is this ROM not available for d/l on the HTC website ??

h, i'm a rom neewbie but i was wondering why the updated rom isn't a 15 something and jumped from 14 to 19 ......? i oftenly go in thailand and you know you can find a lot of really well made fake devices with WM running on them ..... i will ask a friens to check it in Bangkok

interesting
Has anybody noticed that the protocol version !!!
This rom has radio version 1.09.25.14 protocol 52.49a.25.26U
Mine is 52.49a.25.26W
Last time I went to school W came after U.

my Rom 1.14 has radio version 1.09.25.14 protocol 52.49a.25.26U
I'm confused

I bought my HD at Hong Kong a week ago and I got
1.18.832.2 (23358) CHT
11/18/08
1.09.25.14
52.49a.25.26U
and quote from www.htc.com
"Note: This hot fix can only be installed in ROM version less than 1.19.xxx.x. To check your ROM version, tap Start > "
there should be a 1.19.xxx.x. ROM verson

the major fix was the system response time.
however, if someone with 1.19 rom can check the build # of the Opera browser, it would be good. I have heard rumours that we (end customers) can only get updates to Opera browser from HTC, because for the time being it is very platform specific. ie. if you download the latest build from opera website, it will not fully work with touch HD (looks very very ugly with squished menus and such)

oh i forgot to add the HTC website my bad! i hope they FIX the Music Player!

Well I hopped onto the HTC website for some info and was disappointed when it refused my S/N.
I have a UK Orange HTC Touch HD, popped my S/N into the box on the UK HTC website and it rejected it.
It doesnt look like a huge update so I am not so bothered but a bit miffed that its not working.

my UK purchased 'unlocked' HD serial number is being rejected as well, so I cheated http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501583
since when did the UK leave the EU ???

differences i've noticed in using the new rom for about an hour
1) GPS lock is quicker (and i was previously using the latest radio on a stock UK rom) haven't been on a trip yet to test the lag though
2) Phone feels a little bit quicker to respond (but this could just be me)
3) Activesync doesn't seem to start all the time
4) occasionally the first time you go to turn wifi on it doesn't actually turn on and you have to turn it off then back on again (but it does start correctly every time after that)
5) addition of Iplayer as a program and on the internet tab
I'm impressed so far, am very glad that i read these forums first and went back to the stock SPL before flashing though

Do you mean their's an actual iplayer program or is it just a shortcut that opens opera to the iplayer website?

This iPlayer application sounds interesting, hopefully it can be extracted soon.

what I've noticed:
- calendar bug has been fixed, now it starts in monthly view if set earlier.
- active sync doesn't run all times - saves memory -

HTC says: "This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading."
It's part of the HTC OEM deal that locked operators have to repack the upgrades with their config and branding, and release it via their own website. I assume HTC is simply ignoring any serials that were sold with branded ROMs to avoid people accidentally killing their phones' operator-specific software.

delete windows mobile 6.5
If i download this rom update.
Will it then delete my windows mobile 6.5 version.
I hope it will be deleted,

HELP

does it have the new manila (like Diamond2 or touch pro2)????

Link from HTC site seems to be removed...it's still there though, follow the link mentioned in page 1 of this post

Thanks for the information!!!

I tried to cheat and use a different S/N too, but after 1% downloaded, it said that the update was not for your PDA. What is going on? Anyone knows how to go around it? I tried the HTC Europe S/N.
Thanks

Touch Diamond2 to get WM6.5 and updated Manilla!

"HTC has confirmed an update to Windows Mobile 6.5 for the HTC Touch Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 and HTC Snap. The update will also bring updated versions of TouchFlo3D, bringing it closer to the HTC Sense user interface, said Lars Christian Weisswange, Regional Director of HTC for Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH), in an interview with AreaMobile. de.
The update will be provided as a free download from HTC’s website. Whether the software update will be released on October 6th or later is not known yet however, but should not be long after."
Via: wmpoweruser.com
This makes me happy!

Not long now

good news~~~~ cant wait for it... wondering how Garmin can be transfer or not..

That's really good news!!!
I have liked WM 6.5 and Manila 2.5 / 2.6 since i have found it here, but i only flash original ROM's.
The waiting payed off.

Cool.. Thanks for the news... Hope this will resolve issues like battery drain .

Can someone advise? I have never flashed a ROM and have kept my phone standard.
Will it wipe all data and will a hard SPL be needed when upgrading?

HardSPL is only for cooked ROM's and stuff, not for branded ROM's.

Yes, installing a new rom will wipe all data. However you can backup contacts, calendar, notes and tasks with ActiveSync and you can backup everything with PIMbackup.

Windows Mobile 6.5 to (finally) arrive October 6th

HTC told us this before the phone was even released!

will this have the twitter integration?

No twitter integration on manila 2.1

The question I've been asking myself is, will D2 really handle WM6.2+Manila 2.5 without lag issues? I mean, Manila 2.5 was ment for Leo with a 1ghz processor, not a weak ****ing 528mhz..

you're quite right to be conerned.. but actually a std 2.5 Manila was fine on mine (As shipped with Duttys latest ROM)
Just don't put all the fancy animated backgrounds & pretty clocks that you can get on this site or you're bolloxed. The thing ran like it was like walking through treacle. Once I'd reflashed back to a std black & background it was fine..

Love my HD2 after sensitivity .CAB

I have all the bugs reported here and hate HTC for making all of us beta tesers. But the worst problem was actually it being useless for typing. The sensitivity .CAB really improved my HD2 experience. Still I dont get capital letters after each dot though, but its not that big irritation. Its a wonder why HTC choose to have this terrible service.

Is there a chance you could post it here? The rapidshare link does only work for paying customers atm

I found the capitalization issue to be because of HTC messaging when using a LEO based ROM on my Diamond 2. Removing/disabling HTC messaging and going back to Windows Messaging also removed that problem..... perhaps you can try that...
Also, if you do revert back to WM messaging app, you should be able to use Advanced Config 3.3 to set the sms sent notifications back on again.
Google "Remove HTC messaging"... the first post from XDA Developers will lead you to how to do this....

A direct cab link to the sensitivity cab can be found in post 2 of the hints and tips thread. it's a non RapidShare link. Also if you upgrade yo the new 1.48 ROM, the sensitivity of the keyboard has already been applied.

Missed that one, thanks!!

im typing.on my hd2 keyboard now and i find personally that this is the most fustrating keyboard ever created. the oversensitivity is just retarded and i dont understanf
d how they could release it this way. sometimes i press one key and end up with 5 charactrrs on screen.it is impossibke to write one message without making a mistake.
that feels good now ive let off some steam

ive seen above that the new rom fixes the sensitivity but i was about to install it but it says that it might remove some programs. im in the united kingdom and got this phone with tmobile. if i do the rom upgrade will i lose any programs like office, wifi router etc or anything else?

It's truly terrible out of the box but try this tweak:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604831
Select the HTC_touchscreen_fix_v3.2_with_reduced_sentitivity.cab, install and then do a soft reset. Much better.

After a week of use, I am typing faster on my Leo with FingerKeyboard (with this 'silly' and 'oversensitive' screen) and making less mistakes than I was on my Blackstone with EnergyROM WM6.5, FingerKeyboard and increased screen sensitivity.
I am a bit apprehensive of upgrading from 1.43 ROM if the screen sensitivity has been lowered in newer versions.

I wouldn't bother upgrading ROMs until a definitive release is made. There isn't much to choose between the ROMs at the moment, none of them address the major shortcomings of the handset. Just install a few tweaks and wait patiently for a decent ROM to arrive. My opinion of course, YMMV etc.

guys, try my test version. please give me feedback after some time of using it. not 1 min.
thank you

The 1.48 ROM has all the stuff that some network providers take out, so if you've currently got an O2 or T-mobile ROM it will add programs, not remove them.

New UK HD2 O2 ROM Version:1.72.206.3

Has anyone tried this rom I know its only been out a week or so but was just asking to find out if anyone had any problems with it before I put it on my phone.

Don't want to hijack your thread, but: will O2 ROM work on non O2 HD's?

God knows mate Just go on the HTC site if you want a update and have a look.

I've found the difference between 1.43 that i had before and the new 1.72 is massive. Its much much smoother i haven't had any probs so far
RReckless

I have been trying to update ROM since I've had the HD2. Im with O2 and when on the HTC website where it asks me to input serial number, it says device not compatible for this update. Any idea how I can get round this? It seems I won't be able to upgrade my ROM at all.
Cheers

works fine. no issues, and worked correctly after putting in serial number

What radio version is in the new O2 ROM?

already a few pages thread here

Ok just installed it and well can't see what's new. A bit faster and that's it no fixes no nothing.What a let down.

can anybody with this ROM on their HD2 go to
People / all people/ Updates and events / Menu
Please let me know if you have any option there to sync FB with more than once contact at a time. My old (non 02) rom let me sync all my contacts in one tick box frenzy. Now it seems they want me to do each one seperately.
