Hi everyone, I hope im not being too naive by posting this.
I joined the forums for one thing, to improve my TG01.
Let me explain firstly; ive had my TG01 for a few months now - wasnt happy it was on WinMo as it was, but i managed. Then i saw some Android stuff and decided that was what this phone needed..so i browsed and i browsed...nothing, only got so close to be denied time and time again. haRET actually seen to get the boot screen up, but freezes with about 5 lines of text which is too small to read then resets the device.
What i want to know is, is there any sign of getting Android on the TG01, if so, how long? and if not, what else can i do? I dont know a thing about ROMs, but i want to make this phone all it can be...
Suggestions?

1. the phone gets really hot on the bottom back pannel is that normal?(not hot to the point where i cant touch it but pretty damn warm)
searched for overheating etc only found the youtube vid.
2. 2 days i had it at work the battery dies after only few hours of sitting
i let it sit and once in a while push the button to check messages and let it turn the screen off. yesterday after about 5 hours the battery was almost dead. today after only 3-4 hours the battery was dead again. WTF???
3 i had the TP2 when it came out for about 3 weeks, spent lots of time tweaking not much time actually using the phone since it was always bugging out. now got the HD2 and feel like im back to same ol tweaking session ahead of me, trying different roms and radios and all to be able to use the device without so many issues. can someone help me out with the correct(latest/most stable/most usefull) rom.
and what about android, from what i understand it is at a stage where it can be used for daily phone routines without crashing right? or not yet?
all i want is the features to work without freezing. and lil more settings.
is there a rom that is simpler than sense interface, with less animated graphics? something similar to blackberry interface so i can get used to this phone?
ive been using blackberry for last 2 years and kinda used to the menus. great stable OS but screen is to small to read documents and browse.
thats why i keep trying to switch to HTC but cant figure out the winmo.i keep crashing it even with stock TMO rom and no apps installed.
to be honest theres waaay to much information for this to make sense.
i mean last time i spent all 3-4 weeks reading and downloading and tweaking and reloading roms, and thats i only scratched the surface.
so many people are releasing roms (which is great) but its uber confusing as to which is which.
i understand some people may argue that its a PDA with phone features.
but thats an argument similar to glass half full/half empty.
its a phone/pda. not either. or simply smartphone. and i belive it should act like one.
but with the OS it came with it cant.
theres also few people defending its greatness by saying "so many possibilities for tweaking" i definitely agree with that BUT, tweaking is not the purpose of a smartphone, its something you do when you re bored, not something you HAVE to do to make the phone operate at its full capacity due to many faults that are not worked out from the provider... that is not what people pay 500 dollars for.
i really hate to bring it to another post but this is so damn frustrating.
its like having a fast car sitting in your garage that has a governor set at 40MPH sure you can drive it but what good is it if it only gives 30% of its full potential.
Sounds like you should have done your research before you bought the phone.
sounds like you only got one answer for everything...
instead of actually helping.

Help? With what? Maybe you could put your questions down in a coherent form and ask them instead of rambling on with your complaints. What exactly do you need help with?
maybe if you could read at all you would see the questions are numbered
please dont waste space by typing dumb replies if you cant answer or help.
wow this is one POS operating system.
the phone froze up and turned off and i missed my father's phone call.
turned it back on and for the last 10 minutes been trying to make a phone call and it doesnt do ****.
what a great fkn phone
what if it was an emergency damn this **** you can all talk **** about blackberry all you want but when i need to make a call it makes a damn call!!!!!
unlike windows mobile phone where you have to build a fkn rocket before it does something for you.
my second attempt at using winmo and its garbage.

You didn't find a ROM that was stable? I'm pretty surprised. I'm not trying to bash you like that other guy, but I'm trying to help. If you really did flash different ROM's, chances are ONE of them had to be good.. The battery is dead, it's not normal for that, mine lasts a full day with use, maybe the guy you bought it from ****ed it? idk. Yeah, it does take a bit of tweaking, but seriously, if you flashed like 3 different ROM's, they can't all have been bad..

yeah winmo is garb. but dude just do a little reserch on how to put linux on your phone so you can run android. ive done it and there is very few problems its basically an evo lol. OORRRR just use HSPL(1,2, or 3) then put a custom winmo rom those dont lagg or anything, personally i hate the custom roms they have for winmo cuz there ugly
so is the android development at a stage where it can be used for daily ops with no major issues?
i was actually thinking of finding a clean T-mo US rom that has been stripped off all the extra software that came with it so when i update opera for example i dont have to keep the old one installed.
unless theres a way to remove all that stuff manually without installing cooked rom?
i finally managed to get rid of that annoying bloated home screen.
i really not a big fan of this fancy clock flipping thru and eating away at my cpu cycles lol.
or a windshield wiper on my screen.
installed the CHT editor.
somewhat more manageable.
now i have a problem when calling.
i call my voicemail or any other phone call. the buttons on the screen dont work
the end call button doesn work and keypad button doesnt work
so when i try to press 7 to delete message theres no keypad...
I hope this is not spam or something , but you shold use a Miri rom , i use v17 and is working grate , also you will can boot andorid from your sd car, and watch out for radio , to be a t mobile compatible , for my it does the job
send it back to htc
if it's the international hd2, then it has a transferrable 2yr warranty so will almost certainly still be under guarantee. i bought an ebay phone (without receipt etc.) with a screen problem, sent it back to htc and they replaced the screen and sent it back in just over a week. ring them up and check the warranty status. needless to say, make sure to flash it back to stock before doing so. good luck!
its a used phone.
but the screen is fine it works on everything else and im happy to say that i didnt nottice any of the screen issues posted here i tested the corner and i tested the drawing and my lines are perfectly straight ( as good as the can be on a touch screen)
but the only screen that doesnt work is the most important lol the phone screen is frozen
The HTC HD2 gets VERY hot sometimes. Especially if you are browsing the web with high brightness. Or, if plugged in the USB to computer (charging) and play around with it.
i dont know if i get lucky with these phones or what.
i have not had so many issues with any of my other phones in fact all my other phones besides winmo were great phones
i figured everything out quickly applied all the tweaks and settings everything worked out great for the most part.
this phone is not it.
i just spent last 2 hours doing the following.
soft reset
wait for bootup(about 10-15 min evrey time)
run memory clean
check task manager(no apps running)
wait till i get to home screen
phone goes to sleep and gets stuck on slider when unlocking.
and when performing any kind of task the phone is turtle slow...
i really am loosing patience with this ****.
it really makes me want to kick bill gates in the nuts for taking my time away that i could have been doing something else besides trying to make this phone work.
so to sum it up.
the phone sucks when its factory
you try to tweak it
and end up even worse because the apps are also buggy and might even cripple it even more.
then you are stuck in a loop of constantly reflashing "new and improved" cooked rom
how many roms does it take to make this damn thing work?
i mean XDA dev is FILLED with roms. yet we still have problems.
so much development with so little effect on stability of the phone.
is there a rom that JUST WORKS?
the one that is aimed at overall stable running system and not some animated clouds on the home screen.
i live in seattle and theres no need for weather on the phone. its simple here. 2 choices either rain or clouds.
i really hope we can get a bootable android soon because this windows tweaking sht is getting old.
damn wtf does anything work properly with winmo?
i loaded HSPL took me about 20 minutes to sync with activesync
now the phone wont sync sith it again you damn i hate this BS.
everything works so randomly its not even funny.
you have to be microsoft certified to operate this assphone?

are you an idiot? i know your screen is OK and i know your phone is used. it doesn't matter. HTC's warranty is transferrable. you can send it back and they will fix it. geddit?
are you an idiot? the phone is stock and its not international
the screen works fine can you even read?
its the windows that is broken... theres no need to send it to HTC, all they can do is hard reset and send it back to me.
dont post here if you got nothing usefull to post
im tyring the WCX ILLUMINATI SERIES HD2 EURO/TMOUS 21911 2017 rom at the moment hoping that it will actually work this time with no issues.
the thing i ve notticed is theres tonns of tweaks available, but usually once you start customizing settings the phone ****s itsself and stops working properly.
and you re back default settings, which defies the idea of customizing...
Against my better judgment, I'm going to try to clarify some things for you.
The poster who suggested that you send it in to HTC for repair makes a good point. You are having way too many problems with your device for it to be in proper working order. Although it is not uncommon to get some decent heat comming off the HD2, heat + slow + crash strongly suggests that you have a hardware issue that HTC can resolve via repair. Another issue is that since you bought it used, I assume you have no idea what the phone was put through before it was in your possession.
Unfortunately there isn't really a "correct(latest/most stable/most usefull) rom".
Every user has a different idea of what "best" is.
For example: I can tell you that for me, there isn't anything inherently wrong with the stock ROM. I have been using it since day one and never felt the need to flash a custom one. Also, I have never had to do a hard reset despite the countless tweaks and hacks I have done. For all intents and purposes the HD2 has been a fantastic smartphone for me (and many others here).
Before you bash me for "not helping", please understand that your questions (or should I say, complaints) have already been answered as well as can be. There is no magic "make the phone work good" button that we aren't telling you about. You may not like to hear it but the first poster who said "you should have done your research" may not have been off the mark. It sounds like you would have a better experience with an android phone or an iphone.
Here is your solution simply:
1 - Hard reset
(if that doesn't work)
2 - Flash a custom ROM/Radio that works for you
(if that doesn't work)
3 - Send phone to HTC for repair
(if that doesn't work)
4 - This phone is not for you. Do your research and get an android phone or an iPhone
(if that doesn't work)
5 - Electronics are not for you. Find a cave, invent fire, make stone tools.
thanks for your help fae.
im not a complete noob to this and most of the time can tell when teres a hardware or OS error.
and this is not a first winmo phone i had.
i replaced my first touch pro2 and the replacement had same exact issues and so does this phone.
to be clear, my PC runs perfectly smooth, my blackberrys ran super smooth for the time i had them( i owned 3 of them)even after changing and modding everything i could think of, it seemed to work fine. and the rare times it didnt there were clear signs of what was causing the problem unlike this phone.
i just expect alot more from electronics, i expect the phone to make calls when i need to without freezing, i expect it to load the OS without freezing,
i expect it to run or perform daily tasks without hanging or giving me errors...
i also expect the loaded software to work with eachother without bugs.
like activesync for example. it works 1 time out of 30, i sat there plugging and unplugging my phone for about 20 minutes yesterday, finally made it connect out of the blue. so i flashed new rom while it was on thank god.
is that too much to ask really?
the heat issue i guess is a normal operating/charging temperature i found out after reading.
but give me a fn break i ve spent all my evenings reading and downloading apps and sht to make this thing run smoothly and theres never a stable combination with this it seems like.
im sorry but i dont want to get stuck in a tweaker mode where i spend all my free time chasing after the NEW AND IMPROVED mod that supposed to make it all better.i just want to use my damn phone and add a few more customizing options thats all..
most of you dont realize how much time you spend tweaking because you dont really pay attention to it, you look at it as a hobby of some sort when its not, its just a lame excuse for a bad operating system that should not be released,or should be updated or redesigned.
so far the illuminati rom works great stock but as soon as i add anything to it everything goes to sht.
i add bsb tweaks or cookie homescreen and everything freaks out.
its lagging its barely loading, cant make phone calls, cant use phone screen , program errors and all kinds of crap starts popping up.
the guy had it for a while never had any issues with it but he was using stock rom.
it was in a protective case as well.

this is comedy gold.
knock! knock! *your phone is broke*
check your warranty status, and if it's covered
SEND IT TO HTC.
and they will send you back a working phone.
how many times do you need to be told the obvious?
Hi, maybe im in the wrong Thread or in the right dunno
Well the point is that im new in Android, my device is a HTC Touch Pro 2 Spint CMDA. I made a search in the web about Android and i like the "theme" of a new SO and decided to try it.
First Devs was without everything, i mean, no data, no signal, no sound... and more and more. But now are totally different, and first i would like to say thanx to the Developers cause i know that some times are so much troubles and time.
The point off this is that i have some problems with a particular Development, and i said "particular" cause i have been trying most of his develops and like it to much, are faster and smoth dont make my mobile gets slowly like other. But well to much i think so lol.
A few days ago i was using my mobile and the android just reboots itself and starts again , just starts and reboot again and again, and again so the question is...
Anybody knows a reason or why? or where the problem is? and the most important could somebody explain me why this happens to understand the reason and later no ask again lol.
Thanx 4 ur time reading, good vibes!
Note: i use the search option but only in this thread.
First off this is my first post, and I gotta thank everyone cause I've been able to do some cool stuff with my phone and without the support of the community and the vast knowledge some of the guys (and gals) have on xda, I would be just another average consumer. And I'm still learning.
So a few days ago I tried to update my rooted Vibrant (with the lag fix) through Tmobile, like a noob, without unrooting my phone and everything was going great until the phone rebooted and got stuck on the "Samsung" startup screen.
I was able to fix that after reading through the odin3 fix and got the phone up and running again. Decided I didn't need froyo that bad and just reinstalled all my old stuff with Titanium backup.
Then after reading through the forums a little more I got the itch to try 2.2 again, so I was a little smarter this time, undid the lagfix, unrooted the phone and started the update. But once again, frozen at the "Samsung" screen...
Odin to the rescue again. But this time as odin was doing its thing, the power went out in my house, ughhh! Got everything back up and running and when I tried to turn the phone on it goes to a screen I haven't seen before, with a "phone" icon, two dots, a "triangle caution" icon, two dots, and a "computer" icon, and it wont get out of it. It won't connect to my computer so it won't connect to odin.
I'm usually decent at finding the solutions on the forums and I could have sworn I read somewhere about this type of problem, but I guess I'm wording my searches wrong so nothing is coming up.
So how do I get my phone out of this mode? Or is it bricked?
Also does anyone now why the phone would freeze like that after the update? I probably should have just flashed one of the froyo roms, but I figured it would be easier to return if the OS was from Tmobile.

Hi
I'm new here so sorry if i do any mistake in my post. And im french so please forgive me my errors.
I've research like a maniac all over the web, i looked in like 109372949927 forums and XDA seem to be the one who help the most.
Ok here is my problem and i just dont know where to start, i never read that someone had a problem like mine and im serious when i say that i looked everywhere, i looked everywhere at least 4 hours a day for now 5 weeks. So imagine.
I have a Ulefone Be pro by mediatek... Yup cheap chinese phone but it was working like magic.
Then one day while i was shopping on ebay, my screen froze and my phone was unresponsive .. So i took out the battery.
To my horror, when it turned back on, its like if i did a major factory reset, all my app, my picture , everything was gone. And also, it was written on my phone, no service. Its not working either for txt or call or what ever, just the wifi work.
Also, when i turn it back on, i notice that my phone internal memory was completely saturated by some system file , i mean completely full ,so full i cant even sync an account to go to google play store cuz the memory is to low. I cant take a picture also...
So it doesnt recognize my sim.
I did try to flash it with sp tool, with the same rom, with a different one, with download only and the other one with the preloader select,i did all the option available in the recovery menu, but nothing is working. At all.
My phone tell me that i have no app at all to make phone call or txt even if the built in one are in there
Also the battery is getting empty really quicly.
I have unknown imei, and everything in about phone is unavailable...
I really need help of someone... The company where i bought it are so unprofessional.. Never ever buy from gearbest. Ever. They answer my email 6 days later and make my warranty pass cuz they were taking to much time to answer. I mean i have my phone for 2 month... And they are really really bad... They dont want to help.me at all always sending the same copy paste message... Uurrgghhhhhh
With all the research i did i didnt even come close to find someone with this problem. Even on french forum some guys try to help me but it just didnt work...
Seriously its like a quest this problem so i need a experienced adventurer to help me. Im not rich at all and it took me time to put money aside for this phone and i cant buy an other one. I just cant.
And the phone turn on so in my head im sure there is something to do to fix it... Please please please help me
