Hello

I am using a Telstra card in the HD and the Voda card in the Desire
And I am having reception problems on both
I do have the Super Users Icons in the app tray
Do I need to put radio roms in or has the rooting process gone wrong.
On the HD I can find what looks like the root has been done with Visonary
I apolige for this thread being all over the place I am just trying not to waste any ones time
I am on a mine site as We speak and need to get My HD going as I heavly use it for work
Any help or critism I would be more than appreaictive of

Do i need to Root it b4 i can use the modded roms? i had a quick look at the bootloader page ( i think thats it) and it was showing 0.75
So im after the most painless way to get a good rom upgrade
new at all this so the easier and simpler the better.... flashing my phones scare the living crap outta me..!! lol
thanks for any help
Dont be scared its not bad at all!
I had a similar question 2 days ago and am now running froyo (thanks to my own help really though)
Here is my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748105
So i just ordered a desire from Halebop with 2 years contract.
I don't know if the phone will be branded/locked but i think it probably will be.
I have read that some people have had problem with rooting branded phones and now i need to know if it is more complicated/risky than root a unbranded desire.
My Wildfire wasn't branded and i rooted it two days after i got it and within a week i had tryed "all" (there are like 3-4 good) roms available for wildfire.
I never had problem with it, rooting, rom changed etc was realy easy. (only android sdk took some time to learn)
Well to the point already...
Well how much more difficult is it to root a branded desire compared to an non branded wildfire?

Hi all.
Not an XDA newbie, but I am a 100% Desire HD newbie.
I've owned a HD2 for the last 18 mths and been flashing stacks of Android builds etc etc....and HD2 has been great, but wayyyy to many irritating problems to continue......so i've sold it and bought a Desire HD and taking delivery of it tommorow.
Couple of questions if it's ok:
1: I owned 2 x HD2 and both of them, along with STACKS of other HD2s suffered a big problem of completely freezing up when either mobile data was turned on, or GPS was turned on, and if the phone got over 33 degrees......I know I shoulda checked before I bought the Desire, but does this happen or is it a common thing with the Desire HD?
2: It's a used phone, but only a few weeks old an in as new condition, BUT, i'm on THREE network (UK) and the phone is locked to Vodaphone........are there any tricks or any recomended, pretty cheap places to unlock it online etc??
(did use search, but found nothing)
Any info, be very much appreciated and looking forward to being a fully fledged member of the Desire HD forum when I get it tommorow
cheers
Matt
Hi Matt, welcome to Desire HD section. I would be glad to help you.
As far as I know, there is no issue such as phone freezing up when using mobile data or gps. The only related issues are either reception or driver's error. But they are kernel and radio related problems.
Depending on the phone's Android OS build, you can either Gingerbreak or simply downgrade to achieve full phone unlock, including the sim unlock that you've asked before. The guide to do so can be found in the Desire HD Android Development Section (stickies and some thread for downgrading).
Have a nice day reading all of it and good luck.

Hey matt congratz on the DHD I know how you feel.
Well the HD2, I pm'ed you ;-)
Believe it or not the DHD has a GPS issue but that has to due to the GPS antenna being in the camera flash plastic thingie and that tends to have contact issues.
You can buy a cheap replacement http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20b8394272
Wow seems like the guy added £5 to the price I paid a couple of weeks ago.
There are some nice roms here too (I use the MIUI one) and most developers are very rapid to respond to questions.
As far as unlocking goes, wouldn't know as locking by provider is forbidden in Belgium
Dear Experts,
I have recently got an Preowned Unlocked - Vision/Desire Z, however prior to purchase I was said that its an HTC Desire Z, but one fine morning when I was trying to transfer some files via BT, the scanned resulted in HTC VISION. Well, I hope u can imagine my situation - Yes I was totally blank...
After that I googled alot for getting the correct configuration of my Handset but finally am posting it here for your advise.
Pl. somebody guide me How to check/ensure that what is the configuration of my phone. Ok let me tell you that I have tried Setting>About Phone>, it says software version is Android 2.2.1, buts its on showing the RAM CAPACITY.
Pl. guide.
Peace

"Vision" is the HTC codename for the device. It was announced and sold in the USA as the "T-mobile G2" and sold everywhere else in the world as the "HTC Desire Z".
It is just one device. On the forums it is regularly referred to as the Vision because most mods/ROMs can be used on either the DZ or the G2, and there's no need to specify between the two.
Thank alot
Sir, Now as per your info, will it be ok if I assume & claim that mine is DZ ? What about when its scanned thru bluetooth, it says HTC Vision. How do I check its Ram & Internal Memory capacity?
Your Inputs are appreciated Sir.
Thanks once again.
Peace

Yes your device is a Desire Z (Unless it has T-Mobile written above the screen instead of HTC)
For checking internal storage, you can go to settings, and select Storage from there, the total and available will be listed.
The Vision has 512mb of RAM, but some of that is taken up by the Android system/kernel, so you may see apps/settings reporting it as having a lot less total (mine shows 367mb)
You can find more info here

Thanks Mr.Nipqer, yes there HTC embrossed on the Top of the screen & not TMobile.
Ok. Now are there any optimised Radio settings recommended as I shall be using it in India, so that it can save the Battery. I am on Vodafone's Network. Another thing Will you advise me to Update the ROM from the one stocked Froyo 2.2.1 to Gingerbird 2.3.3?
If yes then which ROM will be the BESTEST one? Will it effect the overall performance of by HTC DZ/Vision?
Finally, pl suggest some link where I can find a Layman's Tutorial to Flash it with an updated ROM.
Peace

For Radios, I would only play with them if you have really poor battery or signal.
There is no answer for which is the 'best' radio, it really seems to be up to the phone itself.
Don't get the official update to gingerbread, as it makes it a bit harder to root.
For a rooting guide I recommend the XDA Wiki or if that seems a bit complex, use the Cyanogenmod Wiki
if you get stuck, jump into the #G2ROOT irc channel on freenode
For a rom, I'd recommend Cyangenmod, or if you want to stick with a sense rom, use Virtuous Sense
-Nipqer
Thanks alot
I thank you for all your information. Mr.Nipqer, will recall back if I am stucked somewhere.
Peace
Karan Adhikari
All Desire Z's are Visions, but not all Visions are Desire Z's
For a rom, I'd recommend Cyangenmod

have to disagree here, this ROM has a lot of issues, including GPS, wifi-calling, and too many other glitches
I have had great luck with the rmk G-lite ROM's, they are basically stock Gingerbread with mild overclocking and all of the fluff gotten rid of
these ROM have the best battery life of any ROM, and the main thing I like most about them is that they WORK WITHOUT ISSUES
Well each to their own.
I don't find I have any GPS issues with Cyanogenmod, and I never use wifi calling as I'm not in the states.
If you have GPS issues, maybe you should look into wiping your efs data?

I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted to switch carriers. Just read the threads there, it's easy if you pay attention.

Rooting doesn't force you to change ROMs, so battery life shouldn't change. AAHK roots, bootloader-unlocks, and sim-unlocks.
Hi.
I'm Agree with bananagranola. But anyway, you can also root and change the rom to a better version and better battery support!
In addition, tell her about android 4, and sence 4.1! She'll Accept!
If you want to change it's rom to an improved stock rom, use Android Revolution 6... And if You want to use Android 4 with Sence 4.1 the bests are Sabsa Prime and Viper DHD.
