HD2 Update?
 

i heard that the hd2 update was supposed to be coming out soon. i haven't really heard much else about it though. has it been postponed? wat all does the update cover? is it OTA? lol sorry i have a lot of questions but I'm a bit indecisive about messing with my hd2 at the moment. I'm waiting for more ROMs and a larger forum section before i decide to flash it. any input is greatly appreciated. :)

Re: HD2 Update?
 

If anyone in US try rom and notice a improvement in reception please update on this because I am hoping the new radio in update might improve reception because I really hated taking mine back for reception issues..... I am really missing my hd 2 and is prepared to get it back.

Thank you in advance for any help......

yeah, and better battery life. has anyone flashed to it yet?

Re: HD2 Update?
 

No smartphone has good battery life, because you are asking the phone to do a lot with the limited size battery that's in the HD2.

Think about it, on every smartphone out there people have complained about battery life.

But if you are going to run a huge backlit display, play media, surf the Net, and make phone calls, you will be lucky with any smartphone to get more than about 15 hours use, and even with that, at 15 hours your battery meter will be near zero.

Poor battery life is a hardware issue, not software (unless you use aggressive battery management such as keeping your display at 10% brightness, having it turn off after a minute of non-use, etc.).

So the ROM is not going to give you better battery life, unless there was a defect in the ROM's power saving features, which on the HD2 that's not an issue.

Want great battery life, use a non-smartphone. :?

The ROM was on T-Mobile's site available for download for a short time.

It was taken down because it is still buggy (there was a loss of touchscreen sensitivity).

I installed it and it was fine, fixed a lot of issues. But the display acted more as a resistive screen instead of capacitive.

T-Mobile said they will post it once they fix the bugs.

An update that needs an update?!? this is, hands down, THE most frustrating phone i have ever had since I have been buying mobile phones in the 90's.

Re: HD2 Update?
 

yeah man got it bro thanks again

Re: HD2 Update?
 

Must be your first winmo phone :) if they get updates at all half the time the updates make things worse :)

Re: HD2 Update?
 

no, its not. it is just this phone. I read that there are some that have not had one problem and everything is fine. I have just not had that great of a time. I knew things were bad when the update was in the works that quick. Too many gripes and complaints on various boards to make me think I was alone. But the update actually did half of what it was supposed to do. I have yet to enjoy this phone due to its bugs and quirks.

Re: HD2 Update?
 

Looks like the update is back online. :)
