HTC HD2 running slow! - HD2 General

I have recently bought a htc hd2 from orange in romania, at the first startup the onscreen keyboard tutorial kept appearing and disappearing and the clock was moving in frames the menu the same i had version 1.4 something and then i sent it back because i could not update to version 1.6 on the htc site(i think because it's locked).
after i got it back with version 1.6 it's still running like ****(after i finish a call the call screen remains and i can't even turn the screen of, it doesn't show me what i type in a message that app hdboobs works in frames and fpsce works for 10 minutes then crashes) and a pixel died. what to do with this phone?
unlock it and use 1.6 version from htc website but then no warranty and what if another pixel dies?trade it for an iphone at least it has games and doesn't make you mad
suggest me what to do i can't even use it as a phone without getting mad

flash a custom rom is my suggestion

Totally agree!! there are some good Roms out there

That app doesn't even work on the HD2. I would suggest as the others have, get rid of the bloated stock ROM and download something a little lighter.

I had latest stock ROM on my HD2 and it worked very good. Did you check for hotfixes on HTC Support site?

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,

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.

ATT Rom - Best Replacement?

I have the ATT tilt 2, and it is great but i hate the stock ATT branded bloatware version. What is the best rom for it to date? I love the touch flo 3d and would like to keep it, but be able to remove all of the ATT logos in the background and everywhere else. Thanks for your help.
Will
There are plenty of ROMs, and it's really depending on your own personal style, trial and error. I'm trying out EnergyROM from here, but you may also want to look at others in this forum.
First let me say I found the stock AT&T ROM very satisfactory. It was responsive and worked well. First I deleted much of the bloat using the wiki as a guide. But the weather clock proved too tempting and I flashed a custom ROM. I went with this one and am very satisfied:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568233
Only thing is that for me YouTube isn't working. Others report it works for them and a few like my self have issues. You might not have the issue. I recommended you do a hard reset after the install.
I hear good things about the Energy ROM too. I like the ROM I'm using because it was less app pre-installed, so I can install them myself onto the storage card keeping my device relatively clean and with ample storage available.
Do you guys recommend HTC Sense 2.1 or 2.5?

Just my 2 cents. 2.5 has a few nice things like Twitter tab, new email tab. But the Contacts tab is ugly and the lack of landscape is a deal breaker. If I didnt want landscape I would go back to my tilt lol lol ok 2 cent spent lol

I believe they both have the weather animations. I like the contacts tab in 2.5 better but like the programs tab in 2.1.
Right now I'm using 2.5, but plan on giving 2.1 a try tonight.
Best thing is to try both and decide for yourself.
I have the energy rom, and it works great. But how do you change the background in all the tabs? I figured out the home screen, but i cant figure out how to change the background on all the other tabs in touchflow3d

There is a cab that will change all background tabs. BE WARNED!! When you change the background you lose the weather animation. Weather Animation only works with default background. You can use HD WALL to change it and not lose the animation. here is a link for 2.1 1919

not to start a flame war or anything but... do you REALLY need landscape in manila? really? it has landscape in photo and music AND just about every app (sms, email, web browser, etc.) but really? having landscape on the homescreen that important?
anyhow... you should try flashing the official clean europe WWE version first. then move up from there. im running 2.5 and its beautiful. i dont need landscape in manila. why would i? why would anyone? everything else has landscape...
btw: youtube works fine too. wifi/3g high/low quality. (and of course in landscape....)
AtomAng Fusion 6.0 Sense 2.1 ATT
The AT&T keyboard works without any additional cabs. Sense 2.1 supports screens in landscape mode.

Do i realy need landscape well no but sense my phone is normally on my desk woth the screen tilted it does make it awhole lot easier. mainly when i am stuck at a desk for 12 plus hours a day 6 days aweek. so to answer your question do I need it then now but will i live with out it if it is available well that is also a no. lol ok back on topic
i would like to try out the At0mAng Fusion V6.0 but the download will take 4 days it appears. can anyone email/file transfer it to me that already has it?

lol ok. i wasnt trying to be rude. im guessing you're saying you wanna see the clock in landscape as that is pretty much the only thing that isnt landscape supported in 2.5. but for those that dont know, it can get confusing when people say "no landscape". 2.5 DOES have landscape. on everthing but the manila(home) screens. if you open the sms app, for example, and open the keyboard or tilt it sideways using the accelerometer it WILL go into landscape. same in web browser and every other app. not to bring up the "other" phone, but just to compare 2.5 is like the iphone os as in: homescreen stays upright no matter what but as soon as you open any app you can tilt it into landdscape. or, in the tp2, open the keyboard into landscape... so YES 2.5 has landscape. just not in home screens. (with the exception of you, how many times do most people have the keyboard out in the clock screen?)
as far as ROMS, and back on topic , if 2.1 is your cup of tea, then i say go with the official ones. pretty much as close to bug free as youre gonna get. instead of trading ATT's bloatware for someone elses. get an official one on there then install whatever app you DO use. i went from att's to the official europe WWE one from the htc website(you still have to hardspl, btw) and i gotta say: i dont even know if my tilt2 does "edge" anymore as it hasnt budge from HSPA since.. worst case is 1 or 2 bars of "H" inside buildings.. and everything works. i then went from that to 2.5 and its just beautiful. been on it since. bug free as far as i can tell... Rhodium_AF htc sense 2.5 by ark666.
IMO, the TPC ROM is the best ATT replacement. Since I got my Tilt2 I've been messing with all the ROMs and finally decided to stick with this one. It's clean, nice looking, and very stable. The only problem I see so far is that activesync shows up in the taskmanager, but that's not really a problem cause it's always running anyways.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576361
aruppenthal is just getting started with his At&t based rom. It's still very beta but in the weeks to come it will be the rom of choice for Tilt2 owners.
If you're not wanting to test a beta I'd look to one of At0mAng's At&t roms (Sense 2.1 or 2.5)
Read both of the threads and see what looks good to you.

Sorry if this is a newbie type question but in flashing the euro rom, do you maintain US 3G?
i ended up using the energy rom, i liked it, especially the start menu at the bottom. but then i settled on the Rhodium_AF htc sense 2.5 by ark666.
i like this one the most, i will continue using it until i get the itch to change again. iused the HDwall to change the backgrounds and it looks great, it just wont do landscape when im in the htc sense 2.5, which isnt that big of a deal. Overall super happy with this phone, blows the old tilt out of the water (even though its not technically the next version of the tilt)
Thanks everyone!

new HTC messenger for Tilt 2 / TP2??

So, is this available for tilt 2?? Will it run without breaking it?
showthread.php?t=700495
on xda-developers forum because i'm a new member and I can't post links!
Thanks
Eh not sure but I say if the current native WM SMS client works, then why fix what's not broken?
I love the speed and simplicity of it ;p.
Well, my primary problem with the primary messenging software is that it is sooooo slow! It takes forever to open a conversation, and then the softkeyboard opens, closes, then opens again. so annoying.
ideas?
what are the specifications of the rom you are using?
is it using manila 2.5?
just tried it, hard resetting, I would say stay away from it
Thanks supernova, I think you saved a lot of us a lot of trouble lol!!!

:-D no problem I was hopping it would work too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617142 that rom has virsion 1.5 built into it, it works grate.
What is the difference between HTC messenger and default WinMo messenger? Because my Tilt 2 has the HTC keyboard and stuff, idk if it has messenger though.
In your opinion, is it worth the ROM flash?? I've never done it before, and there's plenty of info to do it so that's nto a problem, but just wondering!

Smith
In my opinion it is well worth it, this is actually the 1st rom I have flashed that used this messenger and I like it a lot, my fav part is it actually closes and opens when you want it to insted of clicking it and waiting plus for some reason I perfer Windows 6.5.5 to the 6.5.3.
Your sig says you're using Cell Pro 8.1, but I only see up to version 1.3 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617142&highlight=cell+pro

Difference between hTC messenger and Windows
Windows Messenger uses iFrames (slow)
htc messenger looks like it uses program windows instead, but it does have problems reading from the Messaging database last time i checked(send a message and wont see it on screen for a little) but the Windows mobile messenger does sometimes freeze when its loading from the messaging database, and the program becomes unstable and wont open again without a softreset.
htc messenger looks like it belongs with sense, and Windows messaging looks like Windows messaging (outlook) blech..
htc messenger consumes a little more RAM and is believed to cause some lag problems, but Windows messenger isnt believed to exhibit either.
Im gonna install the new Htc messenger now and give it a go and ill repost here. Im using energyrom GTX

I'm pretty excited to flash to a different ROM, because I just had to do a hard reset today lol so maybe a custom ROM will be more stable
yea they usualy are more stable, 3 thinks you should test as soon as you flash lol 1: make sure you can send MMS. 2: Make sure you can recive MMS 3: make sure the data connection works.
nothing quite like getting everything set up and loaded only to figure out the MMS dosent work and you cant figure out why lol
Just updated to Cell Pro 1.2 ... INCREDIBLE!!!
SO much faster than stock, way more features, easier to use, and a lot less crap!
You guys rule haha thanks!

Smith
I have to say the htc messaging 1.8 (build 2015 and 2016 depending on what your rom needs) runs way way better then the old version. No more lag, pictures actually have a thumbnail preview in the messaging window, secure box... just awesome
Well I'm running Cell Pro 1.2 so idk if it'll take the new one??

Find out if the rom is using a 2015 or 1016 manila build. If so then yes you can use the new one.
Ok, my ROM is using manila v 2.5.20122227, so I cannot use the new messenger?
From the sounds of it, it would be a great thing to have, so if I cannot use the new messenger, how could I change my version of manila to be compatible?
Thanks

T-Mobile G2 - hate the home screen

Dear All,
kindly help me on my concern. I friend of mine just offered me a G2 but i dont like the homescreen of all. Would there be no way to get HTC sense on a later stage or will this option not be allowed on the device. Is there another option to enhance the home screen (i like black but looking for something fancy like the upcaoming SBP mobile shell 5.0...). Another issue understand that there is no radio too, so could i download a radio cab or will this not work or and at least could i download an HTC Desire z rom at a later stage....
How is the keyboard, can i write mail quickly...
thanks a lot...
In another thread some people claim that the Desire ROM would be compatible with the G2, thus opening an easy avenue to get Sense on a G2. However, that requires permanent root to be available, which we don't have today.
What you can do today is getting something like Launcher Pro, which allows for a lot of customizations of the home screen.
Typing is fine on the Keyboard, but I'm still using Swype for anything shorter than a multi-paragraph email...
There is an app in the market called TuneIn Radio that streams radio stations over the internet. It has the ability to display all local radio stations too.

New T-Mobile HTC HD2 but which Rom?

Hello,
I'm finally buying the HD2 that I should of bought when i got my nokia N97.
It's the T-Mobile flavor by design as i intend to use it on iWireless 3g which is an affiliate and uses the same 1700/2100 3g.
I intend to unlock it via code and then plan to unbrand it via firmware and via facia replacement.
I'm looking for the latest unbranded/streamlined/stable T-Mobile USA rom that is out??
suggestions???
also, will i need to replace the boot splash or is that included in the rom?
Thank you
main suggestion is go to the tmous (t mo us) specific section and look there.
less risk of flashing the wrong thing.

The U.S. HD2 has smaller physical dimensions than international HD2s.
well the front facia is specifically for T-mobile hd2(but unbranded) so i still fail to see the problem..
I unlocked it, hspl3, and flashed 3 diff roms so far.
kumar, energy and now laurentius v4 which im extremely happy with.
So basically a done deal.
unlocked, debranded, and now using iwireless 3g 1700/2100
within an hour of receiving it thanks to this website.
So whats up with the screen position??
my n97 changes the orientation as i turn the phone from up to landscape and back..the hd2 seems to only do this in certain apps and menu items?
is this a hardware issue or win mobile?
I guess im just a little confused about this..

The screen rotation is only enabled in certain apps, yes. The easiest way to enable it in a program that doesn't have it already, is to download and install BSB tweaks, which has an option to let you asign auto-rotation abilities to virtually any program that you can install on your device.
Thank you.

New Question
Ok,
Things are going great...love the phone. blows away the N97 in most regards...
I Really like it.
MMS & WAP all configured on the phone which is running "unlimited - 3G Talk Text Data" Pay In Advance with iWireless(T-Mobile affiliate)...3G working Great..etc..
The Question I have now is can i run a T-Mobile Rom and enter my own mms settings? or will it just default to the locked down tmobile mms setting on the stock rom? Is there a new version of a connection wizard-tool-setup that has Iwireless prepaid and actually will work with a T-Mobile Rom?
I'm using the cracing Rom at the moment and really like it but I also like the idea of using the stock T-Mobile roms...even though iWireless is a T-Mobile affiliate they do not share the same mms settings...
LIL HELP?
is there a config tool to do this for me or a reg hack?
my current rom has a great "Connection Setup" app which works great..
I'm beginning to ramble so i will just leave it at that and I hope someone Can help with this...I presume someone else has been in this situation..??
the connection app you refer to is 'connectionsetup' which all roms except tmous have as standard.
Do a search for connectionsetup.cab, its available in several threads. Plus, since its a cab install, you can install it, it runs automatically at restart, sets up your connection, then you can uninstall it, saving 12meg.
yup, i found like 6 of them and found a couple that work quite well.
I have a new question...I'm having problems with icons being jagged on apps that are installed after the flash...
Is there an icon rebuild app or something to remedy this?
rebooting doesnt fix it..
its driving me nuts..
I have a nice looking list of apps etc and then these straglers that look oddly out of place due to their resolution...
there is i think an icon cache which you can clear, but ive never dealt with it so dont know where it is. Look in the hints and tips threasd maybe.
