Ever since I upgraded to the new cingular rom and 1.27 radio, I've had great success with the phone, with a few issues.
1) The radio sometimes doesn't respond to 'hang-up'... I've once had to reset the phone to actually disconnect the call!
2) My SD Card will sometimes show no content. When I go to run a program that is installed to the card, it will not run and I get a 'file may not be signed' error. When I load up a file manager, it shows the directory structure of the card, but, not the files. Removing and re-inserting the card fixes everything and I can go on my merry way. Very annoying.
3) The phone will often not turn itself off. When I set the backlight timeout for 1min, and the power-off to 2mins (battery), I will get the backlight to turn off, but the phone itself doesn't turn off... Even stranger, if the device is doing activesync and I manually push the 'power' button, the device will *turn itself back on* within about 1 second.
Also, I had purchased "Ultimate Theft Alert", and for some strange reason it's decided that I'm using a different phone and runs only in non-registered mode. I'm guessing the change of radio threw off the serial # check. Just a warning for those who have the UTAv3.... Upgrading the radio *will* cause you to need to get a new activation code.
Otherwise, very happy with the new radio, and OS. On another note, the new radio shows 'E' for Edge correctly now (instead of a 'G'). I haven't gone to a 3G area yet to know how to works, but, the radio was upgraded after the OS, and with the old radio, I'd get the 'G', as soon as the new radio was installed, I got an 'E'. So, the radio has something to do with the G, E and 3G graphics.

I use UTAv3 and I've changed the radio version a several times without problems....
I have upgraded to the cingular rom and it seem to reformat my sd card, I tried tor recover it.
I have now gone back to the HTC Test rom to see if I get the same issues
Hi
Ive been lurking for a while, about time to have my say! Upgraded to the test rom a couple of days ago and all seems fine. I have experienced the same behavior from my memory card too (1gb sandisk) but a soft reset sorts it. I havent noticed many other differences but everything runs fine, have yet to get things working with my Parrot in car handsfree and gps receiver.
Upgraded last night to the 1.27 radio, so far so good - I am now getting an "H" for hsdpa which is cool. Signal seems about the same as previous (1.18), waiting to see about battery life.
Thanks to all the "experts" that gave me the confidence to do the upgrade via the 1.01 bootloader and saved me from ending up with my radio rom stuck with 1.08!
I just love playing with this thing!

I just got back from Dubai this morning, and I recieved my first call from the plane. Fine, it worked.... but then...
disaster struck!
The phone has the "no signal" message when I click on the reception icon. I've tried to click the "turn phone off" button but nothing works...
I can't get into the phone settings in the start menu to change networks...
I'm trying to back-up to SD to do a hard reset, but the phone re-boots itself every 4 minutes! The device is also very slow in responding to the commands. E.G. when I place my phone code it takes 3 seconds just to type in the number... strange! I have 48 / 64 MB free in memory and a 256 MB SD card...
I can't connect to activesync because the decive is not being recognized.
I took out the sim card and am using a crappy nokia until I get this deal fixed.
I searched the forum for possible solutions and some came close, but none popped the cherry...
Have any of you experienced this specific situation? Is there anything I can do to recover my data before hard-reseting the Qtek? I made about 30 new contacts on the recent trip and was going to sync when I got home from the airport... but the 1010 keeps passing out on me!! It's like giving a date a full bottle of Crystal Champange before hitting the bedroom... Sucks!
HELP!
Have you tried a soft reset without the sim or sd card in the xda?
From My experience, I faced this situation (very slow response) once when I selected "Calib/Debug" option by mistake from the GSM menu in the bootloader. The only solution was to do select "Reset" from the same menu but more than once. Hope that will work with you.
PS: if you didn't go to the GSM menu, forget what I said ... your problem might have another cause.

It's a long shot, but this could be dirty SIM or SIM contacts.
Hi Folks,
My hermes just started to act up all of a sudden this morning.
When i woke up the display was off as usual, and i tried turning it up using the power button. It would not turn on. Hence i restarted that phone...It did come up, but there was no GSM and BT after that.
Also my computer wont recognize it, and give me an error msg saying device not recognized.
I uninstalled and reinstalled ASync, and installed a different OS using SD card method. The phone starts fine (a bit slow), but the radio and BT still does not work.
I tried reloading radio using SD card method, and it stops after about 1/4 way...just stand still there for hrs.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
PS: Radio version, IMEI, Protocol are still in tact
Thanks
Moderators can delete this thread!! I guess lot of people is having this issue in one way or the other..
in july i flashed my phone over to energy's most current cookie rom and put the froyo build that danij3l had been working at on my hd2 and it worked beautifully aside from the battery life. i switched to hyperdroid in august or september and it was running even better than dan's build had; i was getting ~100 hours uptime out of each boot, SODs were rare, calls were fine, the phone barely froze. i was in love.
over the last 2? weeks however i've been having a huge amount of problems keeping my phone going. certain websites i access in android make my phone crash; it resets itself but will hardly ever get past the stick together splash screen without a hard reset. when i do get it to boot back into windows i immediately get the "device memory is critically low" message. i lost a TON of my shortcuts in my start menu completely randomly (can't access stuff like file explorer, i have to start a new task in task manager to get to anything) and when i go into settings ->system->memory it says the total amount of storage is 19.09mb and that i have NOTHING available.
keep in mind that's AFTER many a hard reset and device wipes; i can't get my phone to believe that it does in fact have more than that; in the "about" screen it says it has something like 451mb memory available it apparently can't access?
i've been trying to run a task29 to wipe it entirely before putting vbnrom reloaded 2 on it but everytime it gets to the part where it verifies my phone information it says it can't connect, while simultaneously my phone will pop up that stupid annoying low memory message D;<
if anyone has any light they can shed on this it would be really appreciated as i'm absolutely flabbergasted at this.
my radio is 2.12.50 btw
Hi
I have an unlocked UK Leo that has the tmobile software on it which I used on the O2 network (phone only; no internet).
Its just over a year old and has started trying to connect to tmobile on the internet. It tries about once or twice /hr to connect. Sometimes, if I haven't used the phone for a few hours, I'll have to cancel several of these attempts to connect. Worst of all, if there are several cancels waiting and the phone rings, the HD2 locks up and I cannot answer the call. Removing the battery seems the only way to get the phone to work again.
I could flash a standard ROM but HTC tell me that will invalidate the warranty (and its already been back for repair once)
So is there some other way I can stop these attempts to connect to tmobile?
(I cannot find anywhere to remove the tmobile connection and it is not listed in connections)
If there's nothing in 'connection' settings, then it has nothing to connect too.
I can't quite remember the way to go there, but in connection settings, there is an option saying 'edit my connections'.
Tap and hold the connection and choose 'delete'
In the other screen there's the same connection name again, but with the option 'delete settings'.
That should do it.
I don't have my phone with me unfortunately (I wasn't running WM 6.5. anyway anymore ), but this should be some sort of the way to go there
Its probably because something is set to auto update every few hours.
Peep/email/weather/facebook/3rd party app etc etc..........
Make sure everything that can update is disabled.
If you dont use the phone for data then you could use something like "touch tools" or a similar app to disable the data connection.
As you said, you coukd flash a new rom, you can always flash back to stock if you need to send it in for repair.
HSPL it and flash the 1.66WWE ROM (or any custom ROM you like) - That'll get rid of the T-Mobile UK guff. Install NoData - which can stop all phone line data connections, but leave WiFi still operational.
I think the problem of random phone data connections is to do ActiveSync, on the phone, starting up. The only thing I noticed that it stopped after the 'clock going forward' problem's soloution of stopping the automatic Time Synchronisation. Once I downloaded HTC's solution and restarted the Time Synchronisation, the clock problem was gone but ActiveSync randomly started up again. So I stopped the Time Synchronisation. ActiveSync will start up when I connect to a PC, whether to sync with the PC or use as a DiskDrive.
I don't use ActiveSync on the phone to check for mail updates, as I have set my phone up to do that for myself.
KrewsialNL: There is nothing in Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->manage existing connections. Sadly it does not stop it trying to connect to t-mobile server. That is the problem
conantroutman: Possibly. However, when it is trying to connect, Task manager shows only activesync running.
fred-up: Flashing a standard ROM is fine; flashing the original RoM if the phone is broken could be tricky depending on the break!!! And how do I get to keep a copy of the original ROM?
It seems when it happens that connection manager and active sync are (generally) running running but what started them off. AFAIK, all updating applications are switched off. Ive noticed a few times 'Direct Push' is busy switching itself off (green to grey) but have no idea what switched it on. I dont use Outlook and all data services are switched off.
Any ideas what might be triggering this or it is an evil TMobile plot?
You don't need to keep a copy of the origional ROM as you can download it from HTC's website using the phone's serial number.
If you flash it via the SD Card method, then the HSPL will be removed. You could also flash it via the PC and then run HSPL2 and select the SPL version for the ROM you download (1.66.0000 for the T-MoUK 1.72 ROM).
I can't tell you if it is a T-MoUK evil plot because My T-MoUK HD2 lasted a week before I flashed it to the 1.66 WWE ROM (after flashing HSPL). T-MoUK took another couple of months to bring out their version of the 1.66 ROM (1.72).
Have you got any Live services installed (MSN or Hotmail) as these use the Direct Push?
Not AFAIK.
It was all fine until (roughly) its first birthday and then this problem. I have not installed anything for ages so I am confused.
HTC escalated this over 2 weeks ago and I have, as usual, heard nothing.
I think its probably ROM flashing time.
Hello,
I've been struggling with a problem for about 5months and finally rationalized what happens and now seek a fix. Yes, sometimes the device is slow. It can go about 3days w/o need for reboot, but if I sense it slow, I bounce it cleanly.
My HD2 will freeze, by itself left alone, or after charging, or while in use. A battery pull reset will only get me past this. At first I thought it might have to do with low storage space but it occurs even after clearing space and bouncing.
When the device boots from the pulled battery, it gives the time & date of the last time I had to pull the battery (say 3 days ago). This is consistent on each occurrence. It seems on the battery pull, the device looks to the registry or some other pointer to the date/time rather than the device hardware clock.
Once the unit boots, if I don't notice, it want to attach to my phone provider, and in the logic of the negotiation, the unit freezes as it cannot sync with the phone provider as the date/time is not in line with their connect criteria.
FIX is boot device, do not enable phone radio, set time & date manually, enable radio for phone and a sync can be done to enable phone system time synced.
The question is, What can I do to stop this sloppy phone from going back in time, or crashing on me when I want to make a simple call?
I think a tweak of some sort has to be in place to enable the negotiation with the phone provider as well.
using WM65, the boot screen gives:
R 2.15.50.14
G 15.42.50.11U
D 1.66.76641
&
device program storage now: 180MB free
device storage now: 50MB free
card storage now: 350MB free
I've had this unit a year now, and recently started using the LeoCpuSpeed at 998MHz thinking it might help functionality.
thanks in advance,
_h
still happens, any fix?

SOrry if you already mentioned it, are u using custom or stock ROM?
Sometime, registry tweaks might cause those problems.
I would suggest you to flash the CORRECT STOCK ROM and see if those problems still persist. If yes, there might be defect/damaged to any of the components of your device
