I bought my tp2 4 months ago (brand new) with winmo 6.1 and immediately upgraded to 6.5. Winmo 6.5 seems to be really slow for me, and I think it's because I don't have a data plan. Anyway, I've tried disabling the data connection in an attempt to speed it up but it doesn't seem to be working.
Are there any ROMs specifically developed for users without a data package?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Zack

hmm...data plan has nothing to do with the speed of your rom
If you're still using official roms, I suggest you try out the custom roms on this forum
I thought it might be laggy if it is trying to connect to the tmobile data network... I've tried to turn it off, but sometimes I see it's still on. Perhaps you're right in that it shouldn't be slowing me down. I don't want anything that will try to autoconnect to the internet- like the Weather app. Any ROM you would recommend? Speed is a primary concern.

You can certainly try turning data off and see what happens
As for roms...they are all very good you should try them all

Actually, if you never use the data connection, you could probably just remove the data settings in the Setup / Connections / Connections / Edit Current settings area. However I'm not sure if that would result in "unable to connect" messages.
But I agree with previous posts, it will not help the speed of your phone.
I'd also suggest unticking any boxes regarding 'auto update' for things like weather, email, twitter etc.
I've never heard of such a ROM.
Have you tried modaco's NoData to disable data connections?

I have been using CM7 and for the most part it works pretty good but depending on the circumstances the phone could crash and/or not go back to 4G without rebooting.
It seems that certain functions like texting or applications that sync can lead to a crash so I just did a reload on a clean wipe, turned off all of the account syncing and only have gapps, market and a non syncing gmail loaded. But even with that I am still not holding the network connection the way I want and seem to have to mes with the wimax or reboot the phone to get 4G back.
My signal is good since I am on a hil, know where the 4G tower is and stick my phone way up a vent above all the other buildings.
Is there a stripped rom that is basically just a phone and a internet connection? Old nightlys, tuning suggestions or ?? that would work better and/or do a better job of forcing 4G after an interuption?
I have not loaded sense and new radios in a while if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks
Hey,
There is no so to speak best tether rom, but I have noticed others work better then some. Personally when I use cm7 each day my data speed slows I have no idea why but it does. I personally really like RCMix3d it works great smooth good battery life as a rom and I have had no complaints about tethering its been working well with me.
But if your set up is working I would just stay set with that!
Hope it helped

I suggest you use RCMix3D Runny v5.1 by sbryan12144. Its fast & smooth
Cm7 tethering works good. Its also good on miui roms on most phones. Also for those having trouble tethering. Try wireless tether 2.0.7 which works on almost everything.

I use barnacle... i like it. Super simple. Is stable.
I been using Deck's rom, but now my W7 64bit machine is having a problem with the Remote NDIS driver which I can't seem to find.
Hello everyone,
I just recieved the Desire HD from a friend of mine who upgraded, and I seem to have a lot of connectivity problems. It was unrooted, and the first thing I did, was downgrading and rooting it succesfully. Afterwards I flashed Jellytime, and there the connectivity problems occurred. Since I use the phone on a daily bases, I hoped switching to the more stable rom Android Revolution 7.0.4 would help. But that turned out to make not so much of a difference. A final option is switching back to stock rom, but i hope to find another solution because I love smoothness of custom roms. My friend also said he hadn't have any problems that are similar to mine.
Also i would like to note that I had to flash the Android Revolution HD 7.0.4 two times. At the first attempt the wifi stopped working after some days of using. It said "unable to scan for networks", the phone and data connections worked, but still with the same connection problems.
What exactly happens is basicly that the connection just drops at random, the most annoying thing is that is hard to get it back. Switching from airplane and back rarely works. That only leaves a full reboot which takes a lot of time, and just gives me a 50% chance of getting my signal back.
However it isn't always the whole connection that drops, sometimes it's just the data connection. And often when i try to fix it by turning the data connection on or off it will freeze on "Turning on/off", and again a full reboot is necessary to fix this.
My assumption is that this problems is radio related, but I am not quite sure since i do not fully understand the meaning of it. That why i also rather not touch the radio.
I hope you guys have a clever solution or good advice for me, many thanks in advance!

1. If you reinstall Jelly Bean at some point, make sure that Settings -> Wifi -> Advanced -> Avoid poor connections is unchecked.
2. Since ARHD is also unstable (and I'm assuming a you flashed after a full wipe of /system, /data, and /cache), I would certainly consider flashing a newer radio. It's not too scary; just make sure you do your reading and research beforehand.

ARHD is THE most stable ROM for our phone....
But yeah a new radio couldn't hurt. And reflashing with a full wipe.
If not its most likely a hardware fault

Sorry, I meant since HIS ARHD installation was unstable it was probably not the ROM. Should've phrased that better.

No probs dude. I was like WTF thats not right lol. Yeah ARHD is undoubtedly one of the best 'stock' experiences. It should work fine on his device though

Well yes i performed a full wipe with their super wipe script from their topic. I guess I indeed start looking if a radio fixes my problem..
Let me see:
The phone was not rooted before and it worked fine untill you rooted it?
The problems are for both data and wifi?
Longshot, check the battery cover.

The problems are for both data and wifi?
The are atm only with data and normal phone connection. The wifi problem was fixed by a factory reset, so i wiped the phone and wifi worked fine. I found that this was the only worked for people with the same problem.
Then i would have to buy a battery cover, since i dont know anyone else with a dhd

What I meant to say was to check the battery cover if it was properly placed. Sorry I can't help more at the moment, my mind is in a different place.

Hi As per above move websites are taking an age to load or do not load at all, yet my Note 4 runs perfectly on the same wifi and at the same time - I've tested both - same site and its fast, whereas the tab s isn't.
I've cleared the cache and done the usual stuff. reluctant at this point to do a factory reset as it takes so long to recover android devices.
Any quick ideas to try?
Strangely when I've run a speedtest it show similar to the phone!!!!
I'm on 5.0.1. UK wifi only T800.
thanks
What browser are you using, have you tried other`s ??
John.
Chrome beta (on both devices)... I will try another....

Well another browser didn't work. Neither did a factory reset. However deleting the device on my router and the WiFi connection on the tab 's appears to have sorted it...
Since the lollipop update of all the browsers I have tried on this device, and I have pretty much tried most of them, the stock browser is the best. Its fluid, pretty much lag free and has the best layout.
Just got a used replacement M8 and Wifi download speeds won't break about 2Mbps most of the time!!! Upload speeds seem unaffected (but they are slow anyways here @ 4Mbps) All my other phones/pcs would run about 32-33Mbps/4 on wireless via my 35Mbps connection, *including my old M8.* Seller told me its never been rooted and is stock.
I noticed if I turn airplane mode on and then off, the wifi download speeds return to normal for a short while, then revert to the <2Mbps downloads. I have tried factory reset of both wifi router and phone. Clearing cache on phone, power settings, NFC/BT on/off, etc, etc, to no avail... I am running Android 6.0 (6.13.631.7)
I'd love to figure this out. This phone is mint that I got and this is the only issue, so would hate to get rid of it due to this.
Thanks if anyone has any ideas...
Anyone?
I could use some ideas.
Not sure if I want to keep the phone if it's gonna slow down so bad on wifi all the time...
I bought the phone on Swappa, and between them not responding what so ever to my concerns and zero replies here, I don't think I'll keep this phone. Don't know what else to do...
