24. mic doesn't work when headset is bluged in
25. Phone remains "locked" after MS activation, no amount of unlocking works. *mod edit - try method 2 : here *
Notes:
A. some issues are windows phone 7 related that we should wait for microsoft to fix them see the list here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836373
B. I will request the next rom update to be an hd7 reg edited as default , so that we will only need to use the activation code without cracking the phones security with (chevron wp7.exe ) as with the next microsoft ypdate we will not be able to use it any more.
C. All problems are being repeated now , i think the list above includes it all ,one more day and i will be reporting all these issues on the chinees forum , or to cotulla ,
A very big problem don't let your phone empty its charge as it can't be charged while it is off and it will die unless you find a way to charge it externally​
I hope that cotulla this repaired
Speciall the camera
wifi problem, phone don't open the site but is connect to the router
WiFi problem - I can't see all WPA secured WiFi networks, I can find (and connect) my WiFi at home, but at work, HD2 doesn't see WiFi there...
Yesterday I answered the phone and the opposite side can't hear me (radio 2.15.., I don't know, just the last version)
Sometimes the phone is little bit laggy, I think, that the problem is in the SD card, when I used the phone w/o card (before hard-reset ofc), everything was faster
1. Speaker is very loud
2. Hope Market will be soon available for all.
I will be updating the list issue periodically and I might register to dft forum to report it all if he is not going to xda anymore

Known issue with Magldr.
Warning!
Installed win phone 7 on my HD2, and it formated my 16 gb memory card in a secured partition, all data was erased, and i could not format it using any windows tools, so the only solution for me was to "Hard" Format it using a free software called SDFormatter, it formated and brought back to life my microSD Card.
So people, back up your data before flashing.
So far one issue: it takes quite a lot of time to turn off the phone
Regarding the camera, using flash gives green tint. No other problems from the reported ones.

I had the same problem. I've noticed that the wlan channel from my wlan router was 13. I switched the channel to 11 and then WP7 find my wlan...
So, WP7 doesn't support wlan channels higher then 11...
wifi mac address will change if you reboot the phone.
The type isn't clear when you scroll down or up in the system menu, it takes a little bit time when the type is clear again.
The next problem for me is that I don't know how to set up wireless synchronization, I think I've done everything according to Microsoft pages, but it doesn't work for me.
And then I have the same problems like you, loud speakers, camera...
Well, after reading most of the posts here I guess I was lucky, WiFi and Mobile data connection worked for me, the phone was fast (faster than Android).
The whole WP7 seems to be 'airy' and not so heavy as Android, I liked the look of emails, large and clear fonts, easy to read and navigate. But on the whole, the system seems to be too closed off, not much customization is available.
I did manage to unlock it and install some 3rd party apps but soon the phone would give me a message that 'Microsoft has revoked' the particular program. Also the phone keeps locking itself over and over. I got tired of unlocking it every time I wanted to install a new app. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. Had to either reset the phone or PC many times in order for things to work.
Does anybody know a solution to this?
I could have asked MS to give me the 'key' so that live services could be used but was not sure I want to keep this OS on my phone. It may be similar to Vista issue, a nice looking OS but buggy. Somehow I have a feeling that a new and (much) improved WP7 is around the corner.
Couple of tips:
If you want to sync your contacts, calendar, etc., the easiest way is to go through Google. If you used an Android ROM before this should not be a problem. Back up all your contacts in Android by using your Google account, once you are in WP7 go to Settings - People - Gmail and sign in. It will automatically sync your contacts to the phone - painlessly. You can also choose not to have your Facebook contacts mixed with the phone's ones. Up to you.
If you want to revert back to WinMO 6.5 or Android:
- take out your SD card first
- turn off your phone and then hold the Vol Down key as you press and hold the Power button (get into Bootloader screen)
- flash the official ROM (3.14 RUU is recommended)
- use your photo camera to format your SD card (if you have a card holder, stick in, and then format)
- if you wish you can format your SD card again once you put it back into your phone and plug it into your PC
It worked for me. I am using my SD card again to run Android (flawlessly)

After unlock the phone, you have to use 2 softs :HTC Connection Setup and Tom WP7 Jailbreak in order to prevent from MS remote lock. Have you used it before?

When I click the red phone, then again, Leo wake up after one minute , restart or doesn't wake up .
The second issue is when Leo is restarting , all information disappear - just like in hard reset .
It's not very stable and vast ;(
I want to try to install WM 7 on my hd2. but first, i got some questions:
1) is the camer and camcorder smooth and very sharp?
2) hows the call quality?
3) is the batt life better than on the hd2?
4) any other issues? does everything work?
1. smooth yes, sharp no but it's a phone not a camera.
2. it's good, like on android and 6.5.
3. at the moment not, i got less than 1 day when i tested it some time. think battery is the worst when comparing to android or 6.5.
4. activation key required and multitouch problems due to drivers like on every os on the hd2.
again, this is all answered in threads about the roms itself. read them and you'll get your answers.
aye as ^^ said
Drivers are the biggest issue for WP7 on the HD2, yes its very similar to the HD7 but its not the same, the camera, battery controller and touch screen are the big three. The question is can you live with it, and for me its yes you can.
The camera doesnt focus unless you hit video recording first, as for quality its the same unless you have the flash on, using the flash will give it a green tint.
there is a great wee camera app on here that takes care of the focus issue but its not as intigrated as the built in camera program, it also doesnt fix the flash issue and it never will because its a driver problem
it doesnt shoot wide screen photos, again, a driver issue or is it an API issue?....hmm, i think its API actually
The touch screen requires a bit of time to master, its fine for normal use, multi touch only works with 2 fingers touching at the same time, again, a driver issue.
the battery controller means WP7 doesnt reallly have a clue what its doing, most reports of hi drain are because it wasnt charged fully in the first place, sometimes it takes a couple of restarts and charges to get it full, or buy an external charger and a spare battery there are several guides to help get the most out of it, but i can get 2 days with moderate usage, 1 day with heavy usage, including data,3G, 2 push emails and BT on all the time.

i installed wp7 on my hd2. it looks very good. everything works. but the batt is my issue. i think theres a patch for the camera that makes pics look smoother.
if i continue with these probs, i'll just sell the phone on ebay and buy a used hd7 with wp7.

after installing wp7 on my hd2, i got to disagree with you about call quality. 1st off, the call quality is terrible on hd2 with 6.5 and android. so, dont compare 6.5's call quality to that of wp7. the call quality is perfect on wp7.
1) is the camer and camcorder smooth and very sharp?
- AF not work (have to switch to video for AF and then switch back)
- photo quality is not good enough for me (in WM6.5 & Android is better)
- video capability is quite good (720p)
2) hows the call quality?
- no issue that I've found, so far so good
3) is the batt life better than on the hd2?
- battery drain is high, seem it relate to driver problem, can't be fixed until someone release new driver
4) any other issues? does everything work?
- except driver issue, anything else is WP issue (such as no seperate volume control, no Asian input without unlock&sideload native keyboard, etc,...)
I've had a pretty good experience with my E900 and updated to Mango as soon as possible. I loved Mango, had some problems with networks, but got it working. Then a few months later I started to run into some issues. The phone is a year old, so it may be hardware. Or it may be software. Overall, the case itself is in pretty good condition, so I don't feel like it's damaged per se. I did perform some update just before all of this started, so I'm thinking there may be a software issue.
Here's what's going on:
About a month ago, the phone died on an international flight. As it had before, it showed the 'connect to a computer' icon on boot-up. This time, however, it would not communicate with the computer. After two days, I figured out how to hard boot, and got it moving. The only problem was that the camera wasn't working. No big deal I guess.
Then the next time the battery died, I had to repeat the process. And the battery started dying frequently because the camera started taking hundreds of photos an hour on it's own.
I have been able to start the phone from a dead battery a few times without cold booting and even got brave enough to try and succeed at updating to Mango.
The problem, however, is now back and I'm having to constantly keep my phone in (see camera issue--meaning sometimes as little as two hours of 'standby' time, especially when it starts shooting video) and cold booting my phone several times a week.
1.) Is this possibly due to a hardware issue--like is there some sort of core battery like on a CPU that might need replacing?
or
2.) Is there a firmware update I might be missing?
or
3.) Is there a way in the Engineer Menu to turn off the camera so at least I have a fighting change. The camera button works fine when I have to cold boot (thankfully) I've checked the key extensively, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Thank you!
Cloud you give to us your frimware infos.
Maybe you've just got an issue with an old version of the firmware.
The last one is : 1.1.4.10
If you haven't the latest one, try to do an update it may works.
If the update do not deploy to you a frimware update try to find a way to flash your device.
Hey! Just installed WP v7.8 on my father's old HD2. The OS runs really great on the device, but as many others I'm experiencing some serious battery issues. The battery last about 10 hours in standy (no use at all), which is really disappointing, as everything else is working exceptionally.
I tried using Battery Tool the way I found described here on the forums (setting period to 10 sec, lock the device for about 2-3 minutes, then unlock and wait 10 seconds for the stats to update) to find the standby battery usage, and got result from 80-160 (which I believe is really high, right?). Then I tried to apply the camera trick (go into camera, switch to video, exit with the Windows button), but there was no change in the battery current/life.
So my question is: Is the camera trick supposed to work at all on WP 7.8 on HD2, or am I just doing something wrong? Or am I just not lucky with the ROM, and should try another one?
Btw, it seems that I'm using radio 5.51T.09.29a_22.32.50.10H.

Hi !
These are the problems I am facing on my Nexus 4 device and I would really appreciate if someone kindly let me know as to how I can solve these serious issues plaguing me since almost a month now. ( Nexus 4 running KitKat 4.4.4 )
1. When the phone is in the pocket and I get any notification it naturally wakes up but then supposed to go back to the Sleep Mode like in any phone normally but unfortunately, my phone stays awake and I notice this when I actually feel the phone growing uncomfortably warm in my pocket !
The screen shows multiple pages open and battery draining like anything ! ( after reading some online problems related to this I have deleted WebChat and closed the Daydream function but the problem still persists and it seems I am not the only one facing this problem . )
This has happened many times.
Further, I have no idea if this happened only after the update or not since I have never used Nexus before and besides , my phone is second hand and was already updated to this version when I had purchased.
2. At times when I am rotating my camera from lets say, Landscape to Potrait mode and visa versa to take pictures the image freezes for a heartbeat and becomes normal once again.
Acting as if memory is not enough !
Storage shows 5.75G left. Two movies and music and no games.
No anti virus app but DU Booster. ( also happened before installing the booster app. )
So far, after using this phone for almost a month I am very happy and I love the smoothness of the phone .
To me this is an Andriod version of an iPhone in terms of smoothness and reliability.
In fact, I think it is better in many ways but if these above issues are solved it would encourage me to buy a new Nexus 5 soon which I am sure is much nicer then a 4.
Thank you for your kind assistance and best regards to all.

I assume you've performed a factory reset after having bought it used, is that right?
1. Have you set it up to turn the screen on when a notification is received? It can affect your battery life, especially if it happens to unlock on its own, which I think may be the case if you're reporting "multiple pages open and battery draining like anything"
2. It's quite normal, obviously if the switching time is not THAT annoyingly long. Mine has approximately 40% storage left and sports almost no lag within the camera app, but that fraction of a second is noticeable.
Thanks for your kind reply.
Yes, I did a factory reset.
Let me check the notification status.
With regards to camera when I twist and turn the phone - the image , instead of changing with the position actually ' thinks ', before doing it which means a blurry lag .
I clearly see this from one position to the next.
Further, what I forgot to write and ask was when the phone is in my pocket and I receive an incoming call the screen freezes and I cannot swipe it to unlock and so I have to switch off the power and turn it on and only then swipe and receive the call ! ( I used to get this on a custom ROM on Galaxy S and the Dev gave me this idea and which I apply here too ! )
Thanks again !
