I've come over from the dark side. - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

dropped calls/no signal

Hi all, i know this is a well talked about subject as i have done numerous google/ask searches, i find an awful lot but don't really seem to get any answers, over the last week i must have read hundreds of pages so please anyone who is going to tell me to google this problem, please don't as i have until i could scream lol......anyway, this is the problem i am having......
Hubby bought the HTC desire on ORANGE but then decided he wanted an iphone4 so he gave his desire to me, i am a vodafone user, as we have teenage children and the freedom/family packs are such good value, i wanted to stay on vodafone so i got the phone unlocked with an unlock code at my local mobile fone shop...hubby had never used it as a phone, just as a gadget to mess about on so we weren't aware there was any problems.... the problems i am having are these...i can't get the phone to hold a call, if i use wmcda only mode, its slightly better and i can usually get a call out but it will drop out if i stay on the line to long, if i use gsm only then i can't get a call out at all, the phone stays silent for a few seconds and then just drops out......on both settings the signal is fluctuating like mad and often gives me a x where my signal should be, i love the phone as a gadget but at the moment im not getting much luck with it as a phone.....a few things i thought may be to blame are
could it be the way the fone shop unlocked it??
i have used the same sim card (voda) for around 4+ years, could i need a better sim???
could it be because all the settings on the phone belong to orange and arn't set up to use on voda??
i have read on a few sites where people have returned these phones only to be given another one that has the same issues where others have recieved another hand set and the problem is solved but some people say they have no call dropping/signal issues at all and love the phone....im confused, i have been looking around the site and seen peopl are using custom roms and/or debranding the phone, could that help with my issues??
if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it ...
thanks in advance
emma......ps sorry for such a long post
If your SIM is 4+ years old, I would suggest that a new one might be in order, so at the very least I'd request one if I were you.
You've not mentioned which ROM version or baseband you phone is currently using (see Menu->Settings->About Phone->Software Information). Try posting these so we can see if you are running a very early ROM and/or radio.
Regards,
Dave
P.S. Lastly, divorce hubby for being unfaithful to the Desire and buying an iPhone!
lmao he's an iphone fanatic, he has the 3g, 3gs and now the iphone4, oh and a macbook lol.. personally i love the desire but i'm having a nightmare using it as a phone, i called HTC up on friday and ups have actually just came and picked it up, i have been waiting on them, so i can't actually check anything now, i wish i had realised and put the stats of the phone in my post, they said it will take 7/10 working days to get it back and i feel lost already lol....i am hoping and praying that they can sort the problem out, i have also requested new sims from vodafone and they are on their way to me also, so if i get my phone back and i still have same issues with my sim i will try the new sim, if that doesn't work, then i guess i'll be back on here or trading it in
i think im right in thinking the rom is the software, but by radio are you referring to the FM radio or to the radio waves your phone uses??
I have an iMac and a Macbook, but I dislike the walled garden that Apple has put up around the iPhone/iPad!
When I referred to the radio, I meant the cellular radio - not the FM radio, but the point is moot now if you've sent it in for repair!
Regards,
Dave
yeah i forgot he also has the ipad, i love that like, he jailbreaks them himself so we get all the apps, better than the ipod, which he has also lol...he's a total apple nut!! once i get my device back i will check the stats an post them up here straight away......if the radio is old could that be the problem?? and do the newer ones help, i had to sign a fom to say they could erase everything and put the latest software on so im presuming they will also update the radio?? if so maybe that will correct the problem, i had looked into using a custom rom before i sent it back but i was scared that if i did that then they wouldn't repair/replace the unit also i was a little wary as the instructions seem a little complicated
.......i have since sent my desire of for repair/replacement and have contacted them today (since they have had it 3 weeks) and was told it is ready to be sent back to me and that it has had the mother board replaced...has anyone else had similar problems who had had a new mother board fitted and then the problems have stopped??? im thinking that when it comes back it will be as useless as a phone as it was when i sent it off
thanks
As far as holding calls are concerned, the Desire is bad... much worse than any iPhone I've used. That said in built up areas I never really have problems with voice, but in rural areas the reception is very poor... I struggle to make calls in my house, which was never an issue when I used Samsung phones.
3G reception is a separate issue!
Well the motherboard is basically the phones guts, so that coupled with the new rom/radio should solve your issues. I can't see them replacing the MB just for the sake of it!
Let us know how you find it afterwards. Personally, I've no bother with reception and love my desire
well i've been expecting my phone back for days and it still hasn't arrived, i was quoted 5 to 7 working days when i sent it off for repair 3 WEEKS ago, anyway when it comes back i'll see how it goes and let you all know....could it possibly have something to do wiht the fact that its an orange branded phone and im getting a code to have it unlocked to vodafone????
(which i will have to pay for again now i have a new motherboard)

(poll) My desire overheats and reboots

There's been a lot of talk how big is percentage of people with desire experiencing overheating and rebooting, so I decided to create a poll. Yes or no guys?
P.S. Vote yes even if it's been fixed.
Recently there was such a thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851291
The majority of desire owners don't have this problem, if you buy a desire now it's not likely that it would be with a defective motherboard.
The only time I have ever experienced overheating and automatic rebooting with my Desire was when using a modified Kernel with UV (undervolt module). I think that Undervolt modules was the problem. At that time, within 10 mins of browsing via Wi-Fi, my phone would always overheat, with the battery becoming excessively hot and reboot.
Oh yes, there are plenty of threads regarding this problem. I just wanted to see bold numbers mate.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well, at the moment 20%. Quite a lot. Vote guys, it would be nice to see the real figure.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
My desire do heat up occasionally, but never had reboot because of it. It tend to heat up more when i am on Edge than on 3G. I am posting this with 3G connection on my Desire with WIFI hotspot on..there is not heat.
PS: may be you should add a third option in the poll "overheats but doesnot reboot"
"Overheat" is by definition a state of heat that the device is unable to handle. Heat without problem (forced shutdown, lockup and so on) isn't overheat.
32% ? Getting worse. it's waaay higher than approx 1% stated in some threads. i know it's probably incorrect, so more people we get voting more precise figure we will get.
You should know that this poll would never reflect objectively how much users experience unwanted reboots.
Many users are just interested in things that they would find helpful and would not even bother to see this thread.
Don't forget that if a desire owner experiences reboots he will likely log in xda and look for solution as this is probably the best site on info about htc devices and android development, thus here are many more people that have this problem than those that don't have it.
And lastly not everyone that owns a desire, owns also an xda account.

Fully agree with you on this one. That's why we need a lot of people voting to get rough idea. And yes, it's only going to be a very rough figure.
Yes my Desire also heats up and reboots. And I must say that over time the situation is getting worse day by day.
I havent been able to find any solution to this problem. My Desire is rooted and I have tried several ROMs over 6 months that I have had this.
The worst situation is that I can;t even send it back for warranty claim because my friend bought it for me in UK and sent it to Pakistan and now I dont have any source to send it back to UK for warranty claim.
If anyone here at XDA, knows ANY solution to this heating/rebooting problem, PLEASE let me know. I will be highly greatful to you.

Can't you post it to UK? Contact warranty, they will tell you I'd you can post it direct to them. If not , send it to your mate in UK, and he can send it on your behalf.

That would be too expensive. As I will have to pay almost 200 pounds for shipping cost alone. Other than this I would be without a phone for almost 2-3 months.
Seriously, 200 pounds for shipping?

[Q] Confused Between Vision and Desire Z

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
Karan Adhikari
"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
Karan Adhikari
Gujarat- India
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
-Nipqer
I am Convinenced
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
Karan Adhikari
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?

htc one x nightmare

i have a htc one x locked to the 3 network, so far i have only had 1 update a couple of months ago which upgraded me too software number 1.28.771.9 this update cleared the htc sence crashing and at first worked perfectly, months have passed and slowly the charge time has gone right up, while charging and doing other basic tasks various battery monitors showed me it was reaching up to 60 degree's, the phone its self seems to stop looking for network a lot and unless i turn flight mode on/off again it will happily sit idle without network. Finally general battery life is terrible, just general web/facebook browing soon after charge can rapidly drain it. As far as im aware un-branded phones have had 3+ updates for the one x so im confused as to why i havent.
Help Please
if you HOX is defect free:
UNLOCK AND UNLEASH THE BEAST
I don't know which country you are in but my HOX is locked to 3Sweden. The case in Sweden is that 3 has their ****ty thing that they implement their bloatware in every update, hence the slow updates. Anyways, I rooted my phone after a week and currently has ARHD installed, planing to install CM10 when it's good to go for daily usage. ARHD is an amazing ROM, and great battery life to go with that. I recommend to root your phone and install a custom ROM, otherwise you don't unleash the true power of the almighty beast!

It's popular for the wrong reasons in truth. Only because it is the only way at the moment. To not root the hox, is to have a Bugatti in the garage, or riding with it in town. It needs the racing tracks, the same for hox. The hox needs the rooting and modifying in order to be truly unleashed. Sad but true.
There is another update coming for 3 users there is a thread on it
I'm on the same as you 1.28 but don't have the problems you speak of!
Three UK are saying the 1.29 update will be out this week. Don't know if I believe them but we live in hope!
I have considered rooting as well but I don't want to give up my warranty. In the last few days I am getting the "loading.." message every time I use the home button (sense is crashing). I have had to use a different launcher to make my phone usable for now (and to avoid me throwing it at a wall). I am waiting for the 1.29 update to come then will probably factory reset it and see how it goes.
Good luck whatever you decide.

htc one x waiting for update from three uk
Hi I've also got a 3uk phone which I unlocked to all Sims usable, I'm also still only running v1.28 desperately waiting for three to bring out an update I'm having problems with memory disappearing, WiFi problems, my phone keeps over heating and speakers and head phone got this crackling noise. I'm really hoping this update which people say is coming this week will solve all 3 UK problems on there hox
I am on Three too (unrooted), and I am having none of the problems you talked about - although I have just sent mine to HTC to get the GPS sorted out.
I suggest you send yours off too, 1.28 or not your phone shouldn't be having those problems.

Hi according to HTC I voided my warranty because I sim unlock my phone which means that now I can't return it now for repairs.
Don't worry, that's not correct.
SIM unlock is fine, it's the bootloader unlock that they take issue with.

[Q] Sold my Razr, what's next?

Hi guys!
I'm moving this week to One X coming from Motorola Razr and I'm a bit confused with so many things going on here.
My current device have locked bl and we don't have that much kernels, roms, etc.
I've some knowledge on unlocking HTC devices. I've done this once in a Legend. And already know how to root and use a cwm later. But, atm I just wanna to update my device for testing it (stock) so, my question is about all those roms out there:
Q. what's the best and/or new retail (RUU) rom atm for Tegra 3 One X?
Q. There is any bug in device itself (hardware related). Mean, I saw a lot of complains about lags in sense and an echo on calls? These problems has being fixed in the new roms you're suggesting?
Q. After this testing fase, I'll wanna rum some mods so, what custom rom is really fully working and you recommend. Also a nice kernel for better battery life would be appreciated.
Maybe these questions sounds kinda noob to you, but that's because I am.
Thanks in advance!

Congrats to purchasing an amazing phone! Regarding your questions!
1. Never really understood what RUU means, somebody else gonna have to answer that.
2. The hardware issues were in the first batches, it has been fixed now! However I purchased mine the first week it came out, and it has been working flawlessly all the time!
3. My personal favorite roms are ViperX, ARHD and CM10 by tbalden. I would recommend faux kernel also, it's rock stable!
To finish this post, all luck to you and your new phone!

The ruu depends on what your devices CID is you can't flash an ruu I'd your phones CID doesn't correspond to the RUUs. Download an app called CID getter and post what your CID is.

Q. what's the best and/or new retail (RUU) rom atm for Tegra 3 One X?
.11 is the latest EU ROM and the one most people are on. There's a .12 that's been released in the Nordic countries but it only updates the radio; I'm guessing for specific issues they had. Be warned: HTC's randomly denying warranty repairs regardless of the issue for unlocked phones. Also, because of the Apple patent issues, HTC U.S. can't repair an international phone if it requires a motherboard replacement because they can't reload the international s/w. If your phone's not on .11 it's probably an Asian phone. Check in the dev section for their latest ROM. A mega-update is due pretty soon bringing the phone up to 4.0.4 along with a host of performance and feature improvements.
Q. There is any bug in device itself (hardware related). Mean, I saw a lot of complains about lags in sense and an echo on calls? These problems has being fixed in the new roms you're suggesting?
Early on there were a bunch of random QC issues. Things seem to have quited down a bit. There's a Wi-Fi h/w fault and a pretty long thread on it. About +/- 10% of phones seem affected. I have an early-build phone and haven't had any issues with it. As ROM's go, .11 is very stable. The degree of lag you experience is directly corellated with how many widgets, syncs, and apps you've got going at the same time. The forthcoming update which people have been using as a leak speeds things up.
Q. After this testing fase, I'll wanna rum some mods so, what custom rom is really fully working and you recommend. Also a nice kernel for better battery life would be appreciated.
Tons of discussion in the "Mega" thread in the general section and throughout the dev section.

Hi!
I really appreciated the reception here. I'm used to the Razr/Maxx forums and did a lot of friends there. But the Locked bl made me move to One X.
I'll try the roms and kernel you've suggested.

--Most devices in Brazil are from Europe or USA, mine is from Europe, the international version. HTC leaved Brazil about two months ago due poor sales performance. Can't believe that. We have more people using cellphones here than our population which is about 190 millions. So, I don't have warranty anyway, I'll first be clear of all going ons here to avoid a hard brick :d
Yeah, I saw the mega update news. AFAIK AT&T users already got it right?
Q. There is any bug in device itself (hardware related). Mean, I saw a lot of complains about lags in sense and an echo on calls? These problems has being fixed in the new roms you're suggesting?
Early on there were a bunch of random QC issues. Things seem to have quited down a bit. There's a Wi-Fi h/w fault and a pretty long thread on it. About +/- 10% of phones seem affected. I have an early-build phone and haven't had any issues with it. As ROM's go, .11 is very stable. The degree of lag you experience is directly corellated with how many widgets, syncs, and apps you've got going at the same time. The forthcoming update which people have been using as a leak speeds things up. :good:
--I'll definitively go to this .11. Its 4.0.4 right? I didn't experienced any lags, I'm waiting mine. Bought two days ago. Just don't wanna mess anything. So I'm taking care to do nothing stupid. Hope I'll be getting a good one.
Q. After this testing fase, I'll wanna rum some mods so, what custom rom is really fully working and you recommend. Also a nice kernel for better battery life would be appreciated.[/COLOR]
Tons of discussion in the "Mega" thread in the general section and throughout the dev section.
--That's one of the reasons that made me ask for a guidance here. There are really a lot of stuff going on here. lol
I'm most used to the Razr forum section and you can imagine how bad is the development on a locked bootloader device.
Just for comparison we don't have any kernel, except extra modules hacks, and maybe 3 roms partially working. And Razr was released last year.

I'm impressed with One X forum. The device itself and you guys. Thanks a lot!
Cheers
