[Q] HD2 Android Connectivity Issues.... PleaseHELP!! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ill try to keep this brief, as I am disappointed that I couldn't solve it myself! I am on Tmobile USA, with an HD2 Leo. I'm currently running KBWR 6.5 rom, with MattC Leo froyo android, latest build. I just loaded this rom and OS today, where about two months ago I first did Miri6.5 rom and Darkstone froyo 2.2. The Darkstone build never had working 3g, so I finally ditched it.
Problem now is, I first booted the phone on this new setup today, and was on the "edge" network, but not 3g. Now, for no apparent reason, I have no net connectivity. Also, I do experience the "sleep of death" once in a while. Not cool. Any ideas? I did not change radios, as calls were perfect, and like I said, the edge network was running fine, and I'm ok with just that.
Like I said, PLEASE help me =$

(I'd label my skill with this sort of thing as intermediate... Not so great. Any assistance would be appreciated...)

orange m3100 playing up.

hi there, i recently upgraded my rom from the orginal orange one, as my phone was playing up. it was always not wanting to wake up from going in to standby without doing a soft reset. so then i upgraded to the WM6 vinilla rom, the same thing happened then but it was alot worse, then upgraded to the 0.21 rom. and im still getting the problem, without having any new programs installed its still doing it, so im not to sure whats the cause?
heres some info about it. Im in the UK with the network Orange too.
Thanks.
Radio Version: 1.06.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.37.7010.01W
ROM Verion : 3.22.110.1
Hi,
I have also recently upgraded from the original Orange rom etc to XDA Live 0.2.1. I also had occasional (only occassional) failure to wake up issues.
Since upgrading I have not had this, and the ROM is much faster and seems more stable. Today I upgraded my radio to 1.27 as well, but too early to comment on that.
I also use Phone Alarm, SPB Time, SPB Weather, and Pocket Plus. I had an issue with PA not changng profiles automatically but reverted to an slightly earlier version and touch wood it seems to have resolved it.
Can't really advise much theefore, but maybe the fact mine works (so far) could rule out a few things.
its really annoying, i would of thought that flashing a new rom it would be fine. but its still playing up, alot worse, i have to soft rest the phone everytime i want to make a phone call or to check i have a text. cant stand much longer of this. where can i get that radio rom from?
just flashed it with xda live 0.10 this time see if thats any better.
still no luck, fronzen about 4 times since i last posted. just wont wake from sleep, even if i set it to stay on without the backlight it will still freeze, im testing without a sim card in atm to see if that makes a difference,
anyone what can be causing this?
thanks.

Your Problem With The Calls In WMXL Is That If You've Upgraded Straight From The Orange ROM Then You Have An Old Radio Installed. Upgrade You Radio After Installing The WMXL OS And That Should Help Iron Out Your Calling Problems.
Cheers
Are you using a micro sd card?
If so, try starting from scratch WITHOUT putting the card anywhere near the phone. (ie don't use the card at all until you can prove it has nothing to do with it.)
Just a thought. I am sure some cards caused problems. (although I am using one (sandisk).
EDIT: Just seen Mousey's post - definitely a good idea, although I had the same radio as you using WM6 till I upgraded the radio today, with no problems.
where can i get a good radio for the orange network in the uk?
also i tried it without putting the sd card in and it was still the same. one thing i tried was not to put the sim card in and it was much better, dont think it crashed atall, so its down to the phone side of it.
thanks.
oh another thing, when flashing the rom it said it would take 20 mins, it only took about 5-7 mins maybe less :S is that a problem?
No. The XDA Live install is quicker than a normal rom.
"where can i get a good radio for the orange network in the uk?"
I am using 1.27 - check the wiki for radio only upgrades - same process as upgrading rom to XDA live but with a different file.
I understand that 1.34 or 1.35 are supposed to be OK, but anything from 1.27 should be OK - I have been using 1.27 today with no issues yet, but still early.
I am struggling to find any notes etc to specify the differences or specific advantages of the different radios.
Try one and see - DOESN'T NEED A HARD RESET.
installed 1.34 and its worse. losing signal etc. but im still getting crashes. i dont know what the hell is the fault. its so unstable its unbelieveable.
update : the phone doesnt crash or freeze or anything, if there is no sim card in the device. but it will crash when there is one in, i think its due to switching from 3g to gsm. also ive notcied that sometimes when i boot the phone where its supposed to display the radio and protocol info, it says no GSM!
ive now installed radio 1.27
would any software beable to still be in my phone after a rom upgrade?
any help would be great.
Perhaps try with a different SIM? may be a dodgy SIM...
seemed to work fine with my gfs orange pay as you go sim. but crashed once in a few hours. ive now unlocked my phone and CID unlocked it, and it hasnt crashed once. i think the boot number has cahnged from 04 to 06 too, seems to be stable now, (hopefully)

Cing/At&t wifi+medianet settings wm6

I've googled this so many times...but I just can't seem to find out if this will work or not.
I just got a refurb 8525 for christmas the other day, spl 1.11, going to hard-spl and upgrade to a cooked mobile 6 ROM if someone can help me.
My edge/medianet/wap/whatever you want to call it co-exists peacefully with my wifi connection right now, with my stock WM5 at&t ROM on the device. if I upgrade to a non at&t ROM, I know it won't have the MediaNet settings, and I have the CAB file to auto add them.
The problem is, i used these settings when I flashed a ROM onto my friend's wizard/8125, and they did not work well with the wifi. his phone had a problem saving the setting under the "my work network > *checked box* this network connects to: the internet" It wouldn't keep the box checked.
Now, if i go through all of this with a cooked wm6 ROM on my at&t, will it have the same problem? Can I make it work?
I'm hesitant to go to WM6 unless i can get the settings to work.
No, I don't want to use the at&t wm6
Also, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I took a guess between upgrading and the general forum
try a different rom
Wizards are a LOT less stable with WM6 (people have very mixed results), mostly because the device was only used to develop the OS and not use it for production builds. As the person above mentioned, I would try a different ROM. I personally always licked "Jaguar", they are fast and bare-bone, so you can add whatever you want later.
Try one of Schapp's ROMs. His connection wizard worked like a champ for automatically setting up my att medianet connection, I never had to touch it and it worked flawlessly with my wifi. Happy new year
Try this cab
or this one:
Scrogg's cab worked like a charm on my friend's wizard.
And when I upgrade to WM6 on my hermes, i will be sure to try schap's.
Thank you everyone!
Works like a charm on my WM6.1!!!
Thanks!!

Internet Dropping Workaround Fix Yet?

Havent really seen this talked about lately... is anyone still getting it where the internet drops connection on the hour every hour with 3.16? Is there a work around for this yet, or is this as I suspect a "bug" with the test rom and is possibly meant for this to do it until an official release?
i have the 3.16 rom but *knock on wood* havent had any problems with it yet....been using it for 2 weeks so im not too sure.
I've had the same problem and apparently a fews others too. But I don't think enough people are having issues to warrant a "fix". Sucks to be us...
I've seen similar behavior (although with not such regularity that you're reporting.) From what I've read here and at ppcgeeks.com it sounds like an issue with the radio rom and not with any of the builds. I'm hoping that a new radio rom is released soon that will eliminate this behavior.
Of course I'm tethered right now posting this so it's not behaving too badly for me.
I have also found that some websites (when tethered) will not open at all for me. Yahoo mail and hotmail are the two the immediately come to mind. They resolve in DNS, I can ping them but they won't open in my browser when I'm tethered.
Yeah, when I use the 3.27 radio I have internet problem. It cannot keep connection so I will have to restart connection often. This cause me trouble with corporate VPN so it cannot use WinMo 6.1 + 3.27 radio. I wish I can use WinMo 6.1 with 1.40 radio, but I think it isn't possible, maybe. WinMo 6.1 is no crash at all in one week... so stable, but WinMo 6.0 crash five time a day. Still, can't use 6.1 cause I can't use my VPN.
We need a better radio, I think radio is trouble with internet. Maybe use 6.0 WinMo and 1.40 radio instead. Until work around anyway.

WM6.1 runs fine with 1.40 radio if you use the 2.17 ROM as base

I wish I know how to cook a ROM so I can do that lol
I know this might be a long shot but do you think the radio version and the earlier models of the Mogul could have the effect... I ordered and got mine the first day it came out.... maybe the newer ones are coopertaing better with the new radio? This is a far shot as I would think all the parts/chipsets are the same...
Got mine in late summer. With the "stock" 3.16 beta streaming audio is almost impossible. In both Resco and Mundu radio I can't stream for longer than a couple minutes before that wicked "buffering" message appears.
Before I was using my Mogul with few interruptions for 8 hours a day since we're not supposed to stream on the office network. I'm hoping for a fix soon since the stock 2.17 doesn't seem to want to flash over 3.16.
PRL 60711 seems to have helped the streaming problem. Funny I've been running it on my air card for weeks now.
Yes prl 60711 fixed my 6800 too.
Fix streaming issue or losing internet connection on the hour?

[Q] HD2 internet speed issue

Howdy! I have a problem with my HD2 (when running winmo and android).
I recently installed (see signature) and I have really bad internet speed on both 3G and WiFi. Before I made any changes, I had around 10Mbit on wifi and 4-6Mbit on 3g. After the update 3Mbit on wifi, and 3Mbit with 3g.
I have also installed the Android 2.2.
I can not remember what I had on verisioner software before I updated everything. I live in Sweden and here we have not received any new updates since its release. Apart from some minor hotfixes.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
If anyone has tips on Swedish spl and the radio version that should be used in Sweden you are welcome to write this.
Sincerely Patric
Try to change your radio .. right now you have: 2.10.50.28_2
In most Android buids the say 2.x.50.26.x should work wel
In my previous Android testing i alsways used 2.10.50.26.x.
If you experiencing a lil less internet speed in Android it could be good to chack what zImages could prefent that.
Wehn experiencing less internet speed in WinMo i have no clue. Tho i experienced a lil the same but that changed when i change my radio version

[Q] [RTFM] HD2 Desperation

Morning, Fellow Forumers!
I've been using my HD2 for a few months now, and every day my frustration grows. This thing is unstable as hell. It either stops responding completely, or the phone application hangs (sometimes it's impossible to hang up a call), or just the backlight works, or the UMTS stops working... PAIN AND MISERY! I have it upgraded to the latest official firmware, but it doesn't help at all. Tried the Touch Tools to turn off unneccesary stuff - still no good.
It's even worse when it's BT'd to my Audi MMI. Every 10 seconds or so it's completely stuck for like 2-3 seconds. It looks like the BT firmware has not been optimized at all and whenever it refreshes the phonebook/calls list/etc with my car, the GUI is dead. Fixing that would be great stuff.
So, I'm asking to point me in the right direction. I don't care about warranty or anything, just want this device to be stable! Since the official FAQ is like 10 pages long... is there a FAQ's FAQ?
Basically - what's my first step? Thanks in advance!
PS: It's a retail version (non-branded) purchased in Poland.
Your solution Must be somewhere here:

As for me I am very happy with my stock Rom,so far...!!
I have no problems with stock and with most of cooked ROMs
Have you tried re flashing the latest stock rom off the htc website?
task29 can solve most problems, however if you have done all those steps and still getting problams, you may have a faulty unit and it might need to be sent back for repair/replacement.
Really sorry to hear about your problems. Wish I could give you a good solution, other than to do a hard reset and then upgrade to the latest ROM. I am running a stock ROM and the HD2 is the best phone I have ever had. And I have had a few. Good luck.
I used my hd2 on a stock rom for ages, and it was stable enough, with the odd crash occassionally. I recommend using a custom rom. Since a custom rom, my battery life has improved dramatically, my hd2 runs faster and is so stable, i cant crash it if i really try!
Duttys V9 is a personal favourite
Thanks for your help, guys. I decided to reflash to chuckyROM's wm + android 2.2. On android, everything works so much smoother. The only problem is in 80% of the cases, phone would crash when I try to perform a BT call. Might be a wrong radio version, will keep trying.
