[Q] US vs EU - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi
Being a novice on android and flashing I have some stupid questions.
I am thinking about bying a used HD2 US to gain the extra ~500 mb space. But can I use the phone in Denmark?
I found a tread some days ago on checking internal memory for bad blocks but now I can't find it. Can anyone help me with a link? I think my HD does have som bad blocks, as it reboots randomly.
I have CoreDroid 3.5 w sense 3.5

Yes, you can use it anywhere as long it's unlocked (sim-free).Link for bad blocks here

Thx for the fast reply and the link

2.) If i want my hd2 can able to read and write chinese what program or rom i should put it in?
3.) If i want to put rom into my hd2 the first thing is to install hspl and then the bootloader is that right?
please HELP!!!
OS 5.2.21889
Manila 2.5.20121412.1
rom ver 2.10.531.1
radio 2.08.50.08_2
ram size 576mb
flash size 1024mb
I am having that same problem too, I feel like throwing the phone at the wall am getting really pissed about this.
I got this from the Tmobile forums
After talking with some phone tech friends of mine.... unfortunately cant say which company in Austin, TX they work for..... I found out that the first batch of HD2s that were sent out had a corrupt file in them that was causing all kinds of freez ups and other issues. They told me about how to tell if mine was in the first flawed batch or the the batches that were sent after that been fixed by HTC prior to shipping them to tmobile. Here's how to tell:
If you remove the back battery cover and look for the factory reset button which is located below the battery to the left near the left edge where the cover snaps in place, you will be able to see that it is colored. If the color of the button is red, it is part of the first flawed batch that came out. If the button is yellow or any other color then it is part of the batches that had the problem fixed before they were sent out by HTC.
I am not sure if this info has been posted yet or not but if it hasn't then I hope this may give some insight to thoes who have been having some problems with their HD2. I am just guessing that if you were to sent your HD2 back for a new updated one, that tmobile would honor this issue and exchange it for you.
Thanks for all the info that ya'll post on here, it has come in handy!

I just called customer service and they are going to exchange my phone for me.
help
is there any more people can give me some more advise ? Cause my phone still like that keeps on freezing every single day , can someone please help . Thank you
I got a new HD2 last evening from my Tmobile store. The soft reset button on my firsrt one was red, it had HORRIBLE problems, a freakin headache. This new one has a yellow soft reset button and it crashed really bad last night after I turn it off and on. SENSI UI didn't load for like 10mins and it was glitching from Start Menu to the Sense UI menu. Ive only had the phone for 7hours, stock ROM too. This is fustrating.
mine got a red dot but it's not freezing for the past month.
I've had mine 7 days. Yellow reset button. Stock Rom.
No freezing at all. Battery sucks. I turned off a few things in Sense UI yesterday and the seems to have improved.
From what I've read, most of the freezing problems are due to the slow MicroSD or with large number op SMS or Music files.
Try taking out your card for a few hours and see if its still freezing. If it is, ask for a new card.
Do yourself a favor return the phone your still with in the 14 day period. All of these problems are Sense U.I related and only custom roms can be fixed but your warranty will be voided..I wish i didnt buy this from Ebay and bought it from a corp store, so i could have returned it..
even with custom ROM.. less freezing but yes.. usually on the texting.. i think htc just released a new tmo rom the 26

That one is for Tmo in europe, not the US, won't work on the US model. (just wanted to be clear )

I called HTC and was told they know about the freezing issues.It uss with T-MOBILE HD2 only and they are working ona firmware fix. I have yellow reset button and lots of freezes. wondering off I should return this and get the Incredible from Verizon. Its Android so much better?

New faster? What does that mean? Are you saying to get a new 1GB microSD instead of using the 16GB microSDHC card that came with the phone?
A card isn't "fast", the thing that determines the speed of which a card can be "read" is the size of the card (32GB would be "slower" than 16GB).

Actually the speed that an SD card can be read at is rated by "class" (2, 4, 6, 8, and even some at 10 now)....the higher the class, the faster it can be read from. Unfortunately, HTC saw fit to provide us with a class-2 16GB from the factory, which can contribute to a number of issues, so even a class-4 card of any size would provide better performance than that
I upgraded to a class 6 8 gb micro sd and all freezing issues have ended except for sms freezing. I hope tmobile comes up with a firmware fix for it
the ugly truth is...
HTC did not do a lot to upgrade the ROM they sent to the US. Even with having a 6 month start and KNOWING the issues and complaints they were receiving overseas. Yes, you can flash, yes there are multiple tweaks, yes the people here are great at helping. However, the basic functionality that "should" but, did not come with the phone (sms lags, music skipping, sytem crashes when using proprietary sense UI) is really quite bad. Everone does not have these problems but there are more and more people asking the same questions.
I am going to wait until T-mo and htc get their @$$e$ in gear and release a fix. No timetable yet for it, but they have heard and earfull and are doing something . Then I will flash after all the manufacturers cures are applied.

I too just purchased mine. Class 2 file transfer for a 16 gig card is ridiculous. For this phone anyway. Also waiting for that sms freezing fix. It is definitely swype related and for some reason, swype (unlike any other input format) needs all messages loaded prior to being able to function. Blah...these are the ONLY issues I am having with the phone. Have had it since March 25th.

[Q] android on main storage and roms?

hey guys,
i have a lot of questions...
i tried android on my hd a lot of times....
the first times it worked finde but the latest roms are all crashed after a while
after deep sleep they are all freezing...
so the first question, is it an issue of my rom i´m using?
which one are you using for android? especially the devs which one are you using to try youre andrid?
i think its the best way if evertybody is using the same one to find out whick´h errors are comin from the windows rom or from android?
okay next question...
why is it not possible to install the cab on the main storage of the hd? a lot of errors are issued by the slow spped of the sd card? in my opinion it would fix a lot of probs if we can install android on the main storage, it would imrpove speed and saves sd card?
i´m not a dev so i don´t know if there is any possibility or not, its just a question for my understanding
i´m really looking forward to see a android rom for he hd bur i know its hard work for our devs here...
maybe we can make a bonus, everybody who wants a rom for android will pay 10 euros or dollar in jackpot and the guy who make a rom working will win the pot ;-)
thanxs for your answers and sorry for that bad german english
best wishes from germany
tom
is there really nobody who lnwos any answers?
it's just useless to reply because it has already been explained 10.000 times all over. If you at least 'd take the time to read
where is it explained which rom each dev is using? is ther any thread? if yes pls show me, cause i read a lot of time here.
and where is exaxtly written why we definitly canßt use the mainstorage?
We still need windows to initialize a lot of the hardware before launching android, for the moment.
At the moment, we cannot figure out the way to initialize it before booting android, this is why there's no android ROM ready.
Besides, there's still a lot more urgent/important things to do before (Deep sleep causing crashes, HW3D not working on Blackstone, and battery life, for example)

It's explain, countless time.
READ
then read again.
It's in the virtually all the main FAQ's.
AND this isn't a f**king ROM... THAT is explained in the FAQ's too.
oh i think you got me wrong. i don't want to install it like a rom. my questiin was about installing the cab on the mainstorage instead of the sd card. cause the reading time of the sd will be the biggest ussue which makes android slow and will causetbe problem of the waiting for... problems.

For the moment, we don't have access to the mainstorage from android, only the sdcard, if I remember correctly.
Alright people!
I am the developer of the SenseHERO rom for the HTC Hero (http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698281). I have recently obtained a HTC Touch HD so I will begin developing for you when I get some spare time.
Has anybody yet been successfully in getting tinboot working from NAND yet? If not then I may have to get my hands dirty and see what I can achieve just for experimental purposes obviously with the full awareness that alot of work will be needed to get hardware properly initialized.
If we get stuck the best person to get info for this would be DZO who made android from NAND a reality for the Vogue/Kaiser who are now running it on their Devices as stable & fast as the Native Android Phones..

[Q] Running android 2.2 on hd2 without a memory card?

Is there anyways that I can do this? I dont have a memory card in the device but i really wanna do this! please help. Thanks! First post here also! just bought my HD2 today. Hoping to stick around here awhile.
Sorry Buddy, so far there is no image i know of that could simply be flashed onto the HD2, so the answer is No im afraid.
A mem card of 2GB is already enough to start. Should cost you no more then a few bucks.

from within WM6.5 - go to Settings, System, Device Information, Hardware Information and look at the Flash Size.
WP7 can be installed on both LEO512 & LEO1024. Difference is it will only use 512 of the 1024M when you flash the rom.
If you follow THIS post and THIS post, you should be able to load WP7 on your HD2 without problem. Make sure you follow the directions, many people get excited and skip steps.
Before you start you must have HardSPL and magldr v1.12.
Good Luck!!
ah ok.. i first thought that it has maybe something to do with the cpu, not the flash memory
i looked it up and i have 512mb of flash memory
thank you for your quick awnser, i will follow ur advices
thank you
If it is from Germany it may be the European Leo, with the white buttons, not the red and green like the American brother.
is the a difference between the eu and us leos except the button color? or why is it mentioned sometimes?
offtopic: why are here so many people from romain?

main difference is the rom size. US 1024M and EU 512M. it is mentioned so you dont try and load something bigger than the phone can handle. WP7 works fine with both versions.

Are you sure it is not the ROM size 1024MB?
so im installed all and it seems to work fine, but what is with the energy bug? is he still existing? what happends if my battery gets to zero? cant i reload it, or what is now exactly with it?

you are correct. ROM. typo
is there still the energy bug?
Yes the bug is still there.
there is a thread were someone says he found a solution for this problem, but i do not think it is working(remove the battery and put it back).This will work only if the battery has some more power in it. If not..
For now the smart thing is to not let you phone die,or to have a external battery charger.
omfg! i thought i would be there any more and now!!
i want to rebot my phone and it didnt start! after i installed wm7 without problems. it was fully charged, what shall i do now?
it was full some minutes ago, i shut it down, want to restart but it stays black, nothing happens, what now? (
i get crazy

[Q] HD2 Damaged - Move on or not?

My HD2 has seen better days - the screen is cracked and the micro USB port is not working. It will cost about £120 to get both issues fixed. My question is --- should I get it fixed or move to a "proper" Android phone, is the HD2 still the best there is or do other phones do Android better?

Hi - please can you create a new thread with your question as it does not relate to my original question.
In short the thread for the Android ROM you are wanting to load will have the necessary instructions for flashing it to your phone. AND spend as much time as you can reading and re-reading the variosu threads on how to do this. If you get it wrong you could permanently damage your phone. If you have any specific questions then search the forums for answers, and if you need to ask a new question please start a new thread.
Thanks

Use the search button and don't hijack other people's threads. Are you seriously that stupid?!
@OP, Sadly I would say that it's time to move on. I compared my HD2 to my friend's SGS2 and another friend's Sensation, and they are a lot better. £120 is a bit much though, I got my HD2 brand new from O2 (or rather, my Dad did, I'm only 14) for £187.
Yea I been thinking the same thing, my HD2 has seen better days (Power Button) and thinking about upgrading to the Amaze 4g, bought my wife a Sensation a few months back and its pretty cool, basically the same just a little better specs, so i think it's close to the end, at least for me, had it since launch day.

Yeah I feel the same way, but the end is near, but it will be a great back-up phone. The only reason I haven't upgraded yet is the possibility of the Galaxy Nexus coming to T-Mobile, but regardless, I will be upgrading within the month.
