Press the hard menu button to launch set apn

Not available yet but I believe we should see a working
version in a month time. only 3 of the hd2 hard button will be functional

This is for 3G . Since you said your area is weak use the 2G settings instead. Which rom are you using, nowadays most of the newer roms has preconfigured in the APN , actually no need to set it anymore

Why do you want to use such an old rom when there are so many better and newer choices out there ??

This is HD version based on HTC Desire HD : the camera does not work. If you want a full working version, try Mdeejay Sense 3.0 ( based on latest Froyo build )

Refer post 1 this thread

Keagan : THe GPS works excellent in all the roms that you have tested and other roms. I think your GPS is a isolated issue

So far in all the roms I have tested, I rarely has screen freeze issue ( it do happen once a while, meaning not even noticeable ) - I also do not understand why quite several users has complain about this. I guess is related to the SD card issue. I am using a class 6 card TEAM brand ( before that was a 8GB Sandisk class 4 )

The only rom until now I NEVER had screen freeze is the MIUI rom. It is also the fastest and most stable rom I have tested

Drop off internet connections I agree is more obvious on Froyostone, so I stop testing his. Try also to use RMNET versions if available. I have even replaced the zimage file ( taken from other RMNET roms ) to those PPP roms. It helps on reducing if not eliminating the drop off in internet connections

So far the only thing I am not happy with all the android roms is battery life. But since it is running off from the SD card, I do understand the higher consumption. Previously, on average my HD2 on WM , battery will drop by about 10 % ( 11 pm to 7 am ) but on Androids it ranges from 30 to 40 % !! It is however not a major issue as I have 2 spare batteries

Some notes on Titanium Backup:

1. Restoring back on same rom is perfect

If you are restoring to a different rom or different build ( same rom ) , you can choose just to restore everything . In principle, your system files of the new rom will not be overwritten. To have a 100 % perfect restore in such rom, it is better to untick all the red highlighted. This is usually what I do.
You can also select the specific red highlighted items if you wish to restore back your emails, sms, mms, bookmarks - I will usually do this after I have restore back

If you wish to restore from Android ver 1.6 or 2.1 to ver 2.2 , then I'd suggest you restore your data ( email, SMS, MMS, bookmarks etc ) using Titanium with care. I noticed some roms will hang. For such I'd recommend you use MyBackup just to restore the data only - I find it more reliable than Titanium

MIUI BETA 5 has problems ; dont use it - use the beta 4 version. Everything works. USE MCCM version 2 if you want to use MIUI b5

Correct. The android is installed on sd card. For the hd2 tmous model with different rom size, just make sure the correct hspl version is installed or the phone will endue as a expensive paperweight

If you can access paid apps market with market enabler or market access, I dont think is rom problem. Since August in ALL the roms I have tested, I has no problem buying paid apps. You should look back at your payment details - you should be using GoogleCheckout to setup an account to pay for the purchases or - recheck your credit card details

I dont use any as I am on unlimited. But I do read on many websites APNdroid is the most popular and highly recommended. I install 3G watchdog just to monitor my usage which every month is slightly below 3GB

So if you didn't use GoogleCheckout, how do you plan to pay for your apps ?? Actually safe or not is entirely up to you to decide. I only can tell you from my experience buying and selling on the web for the past 10 years, I have no problems. My first choice is always PayPal and when buying stuffs I try to use Ebay as is most secure and reliable. Refunds are reliable too - got my money back within 10 days. I tried to avoid retail online sites that request me to key in credit card details unless they are established and reputable eg Amazon, Clove UK, Expansys UK

Just tap the apk file , it will just self install

Android on HD2 in STUFF magazine ( MId East edition )

http://stuffmideast.com/2010/10/28/16630/h...windows-mobile/

I have been on android for my hd2 since mid aug. In the last 2.5 months I have been following the rom development. I have also lost count of the number of roms I have tested. Since mid sept I would say most android roms are stable and I have openly endorsed that the hd2 can be a daily android phone 99.99%.

If you were to read the forums at xda or even here , you will see differing opinions. You even see same trend in hd2 cooked windows rom, which I have also tested many of them. Some will say they have problem with A while others will say they have no such issue with A but with B , etc etc. The list of issues and bugs as reported is never ending. As for me I have zero complains as what I need it performs flawlessly. Other people might be facing specific issues due to their different requirements. These are my daily needs: browser, email, rss , tweeter, facebook, weather, ebook, audible books, wifi thether sometimes, no games

I have rated the hd2 on android a score of 8 to 9 versus 10 for nexus and 5 for galaxy s and 8.5 for Dell streak

I hope this help you. But given a choice I will buy a actual android phone. The present htc desire is a great choice

The going rate for used hd2 is around RM 1200 to rm 1300. Your only possible choice of getting below 1K are those who recently bought the AP sets for 1.5 to 1.6k but is also unlikely they will be selling unless they do not know how to best use it. Just look around at garage sales, they could be such new AP purchased sellers

No apps will ever be installed in phone memory. It all goes to sd. I think you are confused , the phone memory is the sd memory. Where you have this idea it goes to phone memory?

This is for storage. Don't think it will affect performance unless you have it full. 1gb is a good size and should satisfy most users. I used less than 300mb

See post #1 where I have simplified it

Added on November 3, 2010, 1:35 pmThis is default android setting in any android phone. As the hd2 is a port you cannot refer to it. This will show program installs into internal phone memory, any sd ext psrtitions if any and direct install to sdcard? It is not applicable for hd2 as everything is install on card. you want to check your actual memory download free app Quick System Info to check your memory both phone n card. Try delete apps n you will see sd card storage increase
