Rogers HTC Dream issues

My girlfriend has the Rogers HTC Dream, while I have the T-Mobile G1.
I was able to properly root both phones (although I had mine longer) and I have tried several different roms on both. When we were both running TheOfficial Rogers 1.8.4 and I think 1.9.1, everything was ok. TheOfficial AOSP 1.6 came out, so I took the plunge and tested it on my phone. It was fine.
She kept complaining that her phone was slow and non responsive at times, and indeed it was. I tried flashing the same TheOfficial AOSP 1.6 on her phone and did a wipe. I believe her phone was still non responsive at times, although I can't seem to remember exactly what it was this time.
I then proceeded to install the latest Cyanogen because I was curious and hoping that it could resolve the problems. -My amnesia kicking in again.. wtf?-
I decided to go back to TheOfficial AOSP 1.6. I do the wipe, flash the base rom, then the expansion, then reboot. On first boot, it connects to the GPRS fine. Connecting to the internet will cause the phone to hang. Only way to use the phone is keep it from connecting to 3G/Edge. If I reboot the phone, sometimes it gets stuck on the Rogers screen. When it does boot, it won't connect to GPRS. The only way to use her phone is to wipe and do a fresh flash. Then I won't be able to reboot or else I have to flash again. I have reflashed and rewiped this rom several times already and it's the same.
Anyone know the reason why? I have the correct radio and spl flashed. I have no idea why this is happening. I have flashed my T-Mobile G1 many, many times and, well.. she's using it now. I'm going to try Dwang's rom to see if the same thing happens.
So far it worked. I'm not getting any force closes. I can't figure out why I can't install TheOfficial Donut AOSP on this phone. Dwang's rom doesn't come with terminal or maps. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that. I tried the Google Navigation update mod and for some reason that just restored the normal Google Maps on her phone. I'll try it on my own phone later. I'll just leave it at that and won't update anymore unless someone can figure out for me how to install TheOfficial Donut AOSP.
Bye.

Hate to ask you something you might have answered, but are you sure that you have used the EBI1 radio image on the Rogers Dream?

Hard reset

Can anyone tell me if this will wipe any updates etc that have been done to the phone by the phone company?
my phone forgot the lock code so i had to do a hard reset, since then the phone has been freezing quite often, mainly when sending/recieving texts if you change the orientation while typing.
at the moment its either wait 2 minutes for it to sort itself out or just restart sense which is now becoming annoying.
any help appreciated

it also wont play the h.264 recordings i have made on the phone, i just get a black screen that says loading :/

well i have figured out it is definately related to the orientaion of the phone, i cannot turn the phone on its side when sending texts or using the web browsers or it will just lock up or slow to a crawl.
p.s. somone just please reply so i know i aint getting ignored cos my posts seem to be lol

Hmmmm...
Is the issue only occuring since you performed the hard reset and not before?
Have you tried reinstalling any updates you had before the reset?
Do you have a lot of msg's in your inbox?

updates are usually stored in root of phone
have you installed any new cabs or roms ??
if you've not installed anything new another hard reset may be in order just to re-syncronize phone
only help I can give at mo

Yeah it will. it is like doing a windows system restore using the restore discs that came with your pc. Personally i would look at updating to a newer rom if you haven't already got a 1.66 or 1.72 based stock rom. You could always look at a custom rom. I use energy 23569 and i haven't had any problems with it. Also the energy roms include a newer version of sense that is included with the new TMOUS roms and it appears to be less buggy

thanks for the replies guys,
it was fine before the reset but it did slow a little in landscape mode but nothing anywhere near what its like now, key presses had a slight delay and now they are like a 5 second delay....portrait mode is perfect.
i always delete messages so my inbox is empty, i never applied any updates prior to the reset, i assumed virgin did it all for me.
i have only installed a few tweaks but the main change is bsb tweaks, i'm now using the latest version where as i was using the prior version before the hard reset but this has only started happening about a week after i installed it.
rom version is 1.66.351.1 (76641) WWE
rom date 03/03/10
manilla version 2.5.19211619.0
OS version 5.2.21869
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
i want to use a custom rom or atleast update to newer one but how will i put it back to the stock rom? the phone has some locked items from virgin installed, they will know if those are not there.

No they won't. Just say you removed them by hand because they were of no purpose to you.
If you install a custom rom on your unbranded, unlocked (the phone virgin supplied you is exactly the same as what you would pay for standalone except for the software extras) Leo it will be easy to install a stock rom. just flash it and then remove HSPL3 in favour of the stock spl (1.42 i think).
Your manilla/sense version is actually very old. There are newer versions about (2015 and 2016) that have been developed for the TMOUS devices but as HTC neglect the UK we haven;t been given the officially yet but most of the new custom roms include them.
If you do stay stock try installing LeoCPUSpeed V4 and chainfire's 3D Driver Patch V2. They will improve the speed of the phone in general and you may find the typing lag goes away completely

[Q] HD2 Freeze on data connection

Hi! I tried some Android Nand Roms on my HD2 and always got the same problem. Always I turn on my mobile data connection the phone freezes completely and I've got to pull out the battery. On Wifi everything works fine but I really have no idea what's the problem.
Ive installed HSPL 2.08 SPL 2.08 and the newest Radio version.
Can someone help me please? I allready searched the inet for infos but couldn't find anything.

What ROM are you trying? One thing is to make sure you are using the correct partition size, this is known to cause a lot of problems. For instance, if you're trying a Sense rom, you're going to need a larger partition for the build.

MIUI
I'm using the MIUI FutureShocks Rom Version 1.4.29 German
Android Version 2.3.3
Kernel 2.6.32.15_r9-gd0fb339tytung
I have no Sense and the partition size is 1024 MB

I'm assuming you're flashing with CWM?

CWM
Yes with CWM!

When you installed CWM which partition did you install... for instance, a common one is 150mb.... You may have flashed a CWM with too small of a partition for the MIUI build...

I gonna check this right now thanks for your help!

So... I tried to flash with a different partition size but it doesn't help anything.Still freezes after some seconds surfing with mobile data internet. On Wifi works great.

Did you found a solution? I'm having exactly the same problem, everytime I switch on the data the phone just hangs and freezes..
Thanks in advance

Me = this problem too, and as i been repeating for months:
1: Don't listen to muppets that say "do a task 29" - coz they think task 29 cures cancer!!!!!
2: Do a search just on XDA HD2 section and you will find literally HUNDREDS of people with this problem.
3: Do a google search for Android data freeze and you will literally find tens of thousands of people with this problem.
4: It will NEVER EVER be solved on the HD2....hence why, when i get some cash, i'm going to throw my phone against the wall and film a youtube video of me doing it....then buy something decent.
PS: task29 does not CURE THE WORLD OF EVERYTHING!!!!
Matt

Well, at least It's not only me, I'm complaining for awhile, never happened to me using direct SD builds, it usually happens when I port a nand build to SD, for now only happening with nand builds, what radio do you have?
Thanks for reply mate..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Sorry for digging the old post, but I think my experience may help
I've met the same problem recently, but let's start from the beginning, and the situation below is sorted by time:
Camcorder white screen
taking pictures freeze
when charging, navigation app freeze easily
play jewel star more than 30 mins freeze
Turn on data connection, can not last than 1 mins, freeze
After freeze, pull out batt and back on, Magldr freeze on "Go GO GO" sometimes
When entering System, freeze
The problem is getting worse, and I almost give up my HD2. I've done every softeware solution , but can not get any good result. So, I put my HD2 to the ShenZhen(China) mobile repair technician, and got the Qualcomm 8250 CPU replaced. Then, re-install my energy rom, and all problems are gone, like a whole new phone, without any freeze.
My phone is TMOUS, and the production date is 2010/JUN. I've dropped my phone on the ground for once or twice, which the technician think the main reason for CPU broken. No matter what, my HD2 is rebirth now.

[Q]-Android Gingerbread NAND Constant Phone FC and Crash (Full of Details)-

I have been searching all over for answers, but have not found any solid solutions. There was another case similar to mine, HERE but I really don't think things are quite the same. I am new to flashing with HD2, but am very seasoned with the Samsung Vibrant.
I had the phone app crashing and robot voice for a while. I have done all of the supposed fixes but nothing has worked yet. I bought my HD2 second hand, (like the big screen and more RAM better than on my TMO vibrant), but when I got it it was in great condition, completely stock. So I wanted to put android on it because MinMo is (for my concerns) unusable. SO, here is what I have done.
Started with a TMO(US) HD2 Stock
-Flashed New Radio from 2.14.50.02 to 2.15.50.14
-Flashed HD2O WM 6.5 ROM (Phone Worked fine, but decided WinMo sucks)
-Flashed MagLDR
-Flashed CWM
-FLashed BOYPPC SHIFT PDA sense&HOneycomb (FAST!)
But then whenever I tried to make phone calls I get the robot voice and three seconds later, crash. (the process phone in com.android.phone is not responding...)
-The first fix I tried was HERE for the Low volume fix. No Dice...
-Then I Tried this Volume Fix HERE, but did not fix problem.
-I tried disabling the contact sync, seen in another thread, and still nothing.
-Went into Rom Manager, Flashed Clockwork recovery, then used it to "fix Permissions"
-During the permission fixing, I received a normal clear phone call with no FC.
-Then after call it said that it was done with permissions, and asked me to restart.
-After the reboot it would just constantly Force Close every five seconds, and it was not showing any network signal.
So Then I:
-Flashed a new Radio. -2.06.50.04 -TMO US
-Still Not working
-Went back to the MAGLDR and did an AD Hardreset, and tried flashing HYPERDROID.
-Still nothing.
-Reset again and Reflashed BOYPPC SHIFT, (liked it better, I know, a lot of flashes...)
-Now getting network signal, and able to get into the phone program, but as soon as I try to make a call, same problems occur with Robovoice and FC.
Sorry so thorough, but I always feel like more info is better than too little!
I had looked at another thread that said something about wearing out the radio from flashing, but on my vibrant I have flashed over 30 ROMs and 10 or more Kernals, and it still works good, so, I dunno. Kinda stuck.
Got my finger ready for the thanks button for ANY help offered.

Also noticed that now, no sounds are playing at all. Speaker driver error? It worked ok the first time I loaded this rom.

Just installed CMYLXGO's Desire Rom Yesterday and the phone works.
Now running CMY's gingersense streak, which is also a Sense ROM, and it works too. Is there any reason that anyone can think of as to why my phone will only work with sense themes?

i'm having a very similar issue.... i've tried a few roms and i get the same thing. calls go out for a few sec then force close. ppl tell me they can't call me sometimes because of this. i even task 29'd and reflashed everything. radio, magldr, cwm and now hyperdroids latest... still get force close and an unusable phone....
wtf

2.15.50.14
The above is the recommended radio that was a good start. Now the next thing to go under settings --> sound --> Feedback. I forget which one it is that causes the phone to crash/give robot voice but that is most likely what is causing the issue for you guys. I believe non sense builds also have these options if I recall correctly. I use sense builds myself. Also be sure to restart phone after you uncheck the settings under feedback. Phone should work after that and no robot voice.

I dont have robot voice and i'm running that radio. hyperdroid was running fine until recently and i have this problem. i can't get calls it causes the phone app to crash and sometimes calls crash a little bit in.... i've task 29'd and redone a clean install with old known working hyperdroid WITH NOTHING INSTALLED still does it, tried new hyperdroid; same thing...

you can try cyanogenmod and miui by starting over again but remember to do task29 to be sure that you dont leave any traces of previous installations !

good luck and regards !! !

blackSideSeven v2.05.7592 installing problem

Hy everyone;
Because i am not allowed to post in the development forum i had to post my problem here...
I had the "HD2O© v1.14 WP7 BUILD 7.0.7392.0 NODO" ROM and now want to flash "blackSideSeven v2.05.7592".
I execute the "Task29" Utility. And made a HardReset.
Then i installed the Mango ROM like i did it by HD2O before in the MAGLDR.
But now the problem is that only the HTC Screen appears and nothing else.
I also installed it a second time, same problem...
What can i do?
EDIT: Now i flashed HD2O again and it works perfect.
So, only blacksideseven not works...
_______________________
i know...bad english^^

I had the same problem with the latest XBmod ROM. After installation it just stops in the HTC screen.
I also didnt get help so far...

Did you try another Mango ROM?

Maybe you take out your SDCard, format it with some proper format tool to make it clean.
then you reformat the fone with task29.
then you try again.
its also 2.06 out now. try that.

I can just say for myself that I only tried the XBmod ROM. I did Task29 etc... SDFormatter... nothing!

I dont have a SD Card in my HD2

I do find it kind of odd that I'm unable to flash mango again. It all started when I decided to flash blacksideseven 2.06 rom from elfinlazz mango, which has been working. I've always been able to flash WP7 without ever having to do task29. Well, in the process of flashing blacksideseven I had a problem as it was throwing an error everytime it reached part.004. I tried it two more times with the same result. Then I moved to a different port and successful on the second attempt. It never worked as either it was caught in a boot cycle or it was just freeze at the HTC screen. I decided to do task29 and reflash magldr and the rom again but still can not get in. I tried elfinlazz rom again and then Yuki's but still no luck. Changed SD cards and nada! So as of right now I'm currently starting everything back from scratch by doing task29 and then magldr and stock 6.5 and then back to mango to see what happens.
P.S. As I'm writing 6.5 started up with no problems! Need to charge the phone because I've been at this since last night. I hate this!
Edit: It worked. But, you know what? I think I'm staying with 6.5 now. I mean WP7 was fun for me for 6 months that it was on my phone from dft original all the way up to mango beta 1. I found myself using my android side more often than WP7 every since Mango because I needed something reliable as WP7 mango had issues due to its beta stage. Not even 20 minutes passed before my WP7 got a no sim error! I thought I needed to restart it anyways and on the subsequent boot up it rebooted 5 times before it got stuck on the htc screen for 35 minutes. Another manual reboot worked but 20 minutes later it just went to no sim error again, so I decided i'm not gonna take this headache anymore! Elfinlazz rom previous was good but there were certain things I needed like data that didn't work 100% of the time. Again, it was fun. I believe I may go back some day. Hopefully somebody will work out the SD card issue because I believe this is the main problem I have with WP7. Maybe some workaround in the future. Good luck guys!

Now i have installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157535 and it works without problems...

Thats the ROM I had before trying to flash Blacksideseven. It was fine for a few days and then after that the data stopped working regularly. Then about a few days ago data disappeared entirely! That is what prompted me to try a different ROM. Now I'm stuck back with 6.5. Eww! Now it reminds me of how clunky this OS is. Been on it for few hours and I'm missing my WP7 already! Thank god I still have my android.
