hi guys, new hd2 user

benny, gotta give a big kudos to you for ur front page guides..i got everything up and running without much hiccups...currently running on
Miri HD2 WM6.5 (21916) ROM :: V 19.1 + FroyoStone Sense - Version 3.1 .. however quadrant shows my device is only at 955...which is a far cry from your 1346..what could i have done wrong? hmm...but so far the device is running as i hoped..if not better...i'm quite happy with the results..

btw i'm on a sandisk class 2 4gb... could it be the reason why i'm hitting such low scores?

i have never flashed my phone that much in my life, these are the several problems i encountered

most of my experiments involved using the MIRI windows rom with various test builds of androids.

but from my experiences
Froyostone roms are relatively stable but noted problems are like the rest of the forummers here

1) internet connection drops VERY often
2) incall volume is very difficult to control as it seems to stay MAX all the time and it's too loud to hold near the ear
3) performance benchmarking on quadrant is 955 only but the performance ain't sluggish at all even with live wallpaper on
4) GPS worked once!
5) camera app is usable
6) battery gauge indicator is not accurate in the phone information page (irregardless of your actual phone indicator on the info bar, it stays exactly at half in the phone information page)
7) battery life dropped by 10% on standby for the entire night, 8 hrs or so..( acceptable to me still )

NexusHD2-FRG83
v1.3 (Froyo 2.2.1) (12.10.2010)

1) performance is really really fast based on the benchmark on quadrant
2) i had 'robotic' voice with the use of miri's roms..tried upgrading and downgrading the radio rom...no luck
3) touch screen freezes from time to time and touch wasn't as sensitive compared to other builds (sometimes it responds, sometimes it doesn't)
4) wifi and data was stable didn't manage to try it long enough as the robotic voice on calls made the rom unusable to me
5) GPS doesn't work
6) camera app works fine

Mdeejay Froyo Sense
Series (14.10.10)

1) voice calls work and the volume control for the voice calls is much better and controllable albeit it fluctuates from time to time
2) wifi is stable and data connection did freeze when i multitasked too much in marketplace
3) music playback stutters while you are doing other things and it's playing in background
eg: browsing through menu and stuff
4) radio works
5) GPS doesn't work it seems
6) overall usability is smooth and responsive (kinetic scrolling could be more responsive as u need to sweep really by a large margin across the screen to make things 'fly')
7) had a problem with the preinstalled apps, even if u uninstalled them they would come back after a reboot (solution was to actually remove the installation files from the application folder itself) as it seems to auto execute each time the rom is resetted from a boot.
8) camera app needs to be fixed, pictures taken are worse than the other 2 builds i have used..
9) quadrant scores are slightly lower than nexus one 2.2+ but performance wise it's lacking slightly than the 2 other builds, i would rate froyostone's performance to be the best in terms of usability and fluidity, but nexus one's rom is indeed the fastest for performance but is marred by its non responsive touch + screen freeze

this is just purely my own experience as i dont' see many people talking about it here in the forum...hope it helps =)

i'm running on RELOADED 2 •• WWE 3.14 Core •• Oct 08 •• + <<Mdeejay FroYo Sense>> + 2.15.50.14 radio now... still testing =)

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

thanks a lot benny for the response...i will keep a close view on it...btw, i read that MIUI are still in beta? but it seems that from ur experience it's more stable than most makes? thx!~
