is there some fix for this?
tried using my hd2 in the same location runs circles around the hd7.
the chief problem is most of my pages timeout but I have full bars for hspa....
after failing to be productive for 2 separate occasions I really want to return to my older hd2..

Hey all,
First off I want to say that I've been using htc products since the original orange SPV and whenever I have needed anything this site has always been here for me. Fantastic work, please don't stop - ever. You're a true credit to the Windows Mobile community.
If it's not too much trouble I have some questions about the Keiser that I and i'm sure one of you will know exactly what the problem is.
Choppy music
Recently i've been finding that when playing music to a bluetooth (sony dr-bt22) or cabled headset (using converter) the music will occasionally jump quite a lot. Now it doesn't do this all the time, but I would have thought that when this happens it'd be down to some sort of bottleneck with resources. I've looked at the great taskmgr tool and can't see anything major. There's about 50% of the ram and processing power free and for just playing music I wouldn't have thought this would have drained much. So my thought was maybe it's to do with storage bandwidth, but I'm unable to find out. Can anyone recommend me a tool or a fix for this issue? Is it common?
Wifi
I barely use wifi cause it seems to get insanely hot and use alot of battery. It seems a bit of a waste to me to have a great feature like wifi disable on a device like this. I only have the o2 gprs bolt on and it doesn't connect at great speeds. I'd love to be able to automatically hop onto trusted wifi networks as I roam about particularly as openzone is everywhere these days.
Is the insane heat it's generating a sign that this should not be sat in my pocket all day or is it perfectly safe? I'm guessing this is why it's sapping all the power with all the energy wasted on heat but can't this be avoided? I'm not much of an expert on how wifi works or the safety of having it so close to you all the time.
GPRS performance
I was pretty fed up of the bills I was getting on contract with this phone so I'm now using the o2 png and using the o2 £7 internet bolton. However, I REALLY hate internet explorer! It is extremely fiddly on the move and I can't drag pages around with my finger or so it seems. Can anyone recommend me a really smart browser that is finger orientated? I also seem to be getting insanely poor performance with GPRS/3G, pages are taking a insane amount of time to load sometimes so i'm figuring i'm mostly on GPRS. How is 3g coverage these days and what speed should I be expecting? Or is this all down to the strength of the battery on the phone?
Finger Based Alternatives
I loved some of the ideas in PointUI and would love any recommendations on finger apps - especially for reading mail and controlling windows media player and most of all that annoying stock Contacts window, it can be a pain dragging a pen out or switching to the keyboard just to make a simple call.
Bluetooth Disconnection
Whilst packed into a train on my way to work one day my bluetooth headset power ran out and disconnected from my phone. I happened to be playing music and 100% volume and you can imagine what happened next. Is there a way for Windows Media Player to pause on bluetooth disconnection? It's extremely embarassing!
Thanks in advance for those that reply. I really love this phone and would love to get the most out of it.
Cheers
Mike
Lots of questions -
You do not state what ROM you are on/using - but I had many of the issues with BT and WIFI and music that you state you are having. I upgraded to the ROM in my signature and the BT and WIFI problems went away.
I use Opera now and like it better - don't set your expectations on internet on a 2 by 3 inch screen too high. When your finger takes up 7 percent of the ENTIRE screen it is going to be difficult to point accurately easily. The pointer however works a treat.
Re: BT disconnection - I was at the BYM and listening to music and it happened to me - you apologize and stop the music ASAP. Now - in church while the minister is speaking is a totally 'nother story...

Hi Whk,
I tried out duttys wm61 rom which I enjoyed the most but seemed to have the largest performance issues on. Before that it was the stock o2 xda build.
Thanks for the suggestion with opera, i'll give it a go.
Cheers!

Not sure if anyone has tried this or discussed it but, I recently installed an app called 'GPS STATUS' off of the market, and every since I have been able to get a lock on several satellites (with it running in the background). This was a MAJOR help for me as I hadn't got any GPS signal that was even close to precise in the whole month I have owned the phone. This is not my first android device (started with a G1 when it was first released...definately the reason I stick with android devices), but I feel it is one of the best available (less flash/flash player) but all in all a solid piece of equipment especially when we get the froyo update...(just my 2 cents; -))...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
getting now will test out the gps on the way home..... Update tomorrow
Update used google turn by turn 5 min to lock
after lock never lost signal GPS was spot on,,,, maybe this will continue to work
may be like all the other fixes, temporary
THANKS
Hello fellow droid people.
Ok here is my question/questions. I apologize in advance if some of these questions are redundant with others, but I am at work at the moment and my search functions are limited due to web lock downs.
So I know a bit about what I'm doing in terms of flashing and backing up with safe-strap (v3.05). Currently I'm running MiniMoto v1.6 on a 5.7.906.xt862 system version on the Verizon US network.
My first question is what are the benefits of swapping to the xt833 over the xt862, if there are any at all.
My second question is dealing with the 3g vs 1x connections. I usually get a 3g connection just fine, but soon as I switch to any heavy internet usage, steaming music, downloading/updating from the play store etc, it will drop down to a 1x connection and my data will slow down drastically I grandfathered into the unlimited data from Verizon so idk if its a cap thing or what.
My last question is that when I turn on the GPS it takes a drastically long time to find any satellites to be able to do navigation. I tired installing the GPS status app which seems to help a bit but still takes a long time to connect that first time after its been off for a while.
Lastly, not really a question I suppose, but I am looking for suggestions too on ROMS to run. My biggest issue, as I'm sure with most people, is batter life and looking to get the most out of it. I do run Juice Defender Pro and with the minimalistic approach of MiniMoto I do get a lot of battery life. I guess what Im looking for though is something that is VERY bare bones, no extra stuff at all, not even gappps, at least on a fresh install, and with the features to customize what I want to have on there, almost like a build your own capabilities. For example I notice most ROMS I've tried (Ive run CM9 a long time ago on an x2, Steel Droid, v3 i think, and now MiniMoto) and they all have things like the Flicker Authorization on it, I have no use for that personally. yes I know I can freeze it with Titanium Backup (which i have also) or rename the .apk file to like .apkb or something, but I am looking for something where its just not there, if its out there.
Thanks for making it though this wall of txt and look forward to participating on here after a long time lurking and using the forums for info
Another question that just popped into my head, if someone can point me in the direction of how to apply the build.prop things that get put out, Ive seen a lot of things about them, but never been able to find how to apply them it would be appreciated.

1) The 883 radio/build.prop is used to unlock GSM in the USA. Totally unneeded and will disable your CDMA part of your radio from my experience unless you want to unlock for T-Mobile/AT&T.
2) The 3G/1X switching may be you needing to do a *228. But you can force 3G by *#*#4636#*#*, Phone Information, EVDO only. Note: You won't get inbound calls or texts, as those use 1X.
3) Minimoto is about as barebones as you can get. If you want more battery life play with the overclocking and keep it at 1 GHz but change governors and stuff. I get through the day just fine. What are you expecting? Maybe you have apps that you download that are killing it (like Words With Friends is notorious for me).
Thanks for your response MrObvious
As to the 3g/1x thing. Ya i don't want to force 3g that way as i do still need to receive calls and such. I have tried the *288 a few times and its doesn't help at all, I'm thinking its just a bad location in my office as that seems to be where I have the most issues.
For the battery thing. Its not that I see a big drain on it, far from it when I know I'm going to need to be maximizing it I can just use Juice Defender to cut the pushes and radios that aren't needed to a minimum and I can easily get a full day plus of standby. I was just looking for a way to maximize what I did have already.
It is two two eight not 288.

Also new to flashing roms, and I am using minimoto 1.65. Do you know how to get google talk installed?

before you add the gapps from above, might want to upgrade to 1.7, he just put a new version out a couple of days ago with some fixes and more removal of things. and it requires a full flash, not just an update.
So I'm having this problem with my HTC One developer edition that it's running really slow on wifi from time to time. Sometimes it will be so bad it even times out trying to load store, websites or even the speedtest gave me a "network error".
And no, it's not caused by someone hogging my internet, running speedtest from the computer or ipad right before or after gives me the advertised speeds for my internet.
I would be interested to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
Here's the comparison, HTC and then iPad mini.

Pretty same problem. I bought at the end of May. After use two days, I found out the wifi problem. Have you update the system or install other Roms?
No problem here if you check the top result
I am having the same problems my phone it's no the developers , but my wifi t's so slow well the upload speed is up 20mps and the download is only 5 mps witch does not make any sense y tried my other devices and they are fine 20 up 20 down i dont know if it is due to the aluminum cover that the radio its weak or what
I am having the same issues on mine it is pretty ridiculous how slow it is no matter what WiFi router I am connected to. I haven't found a fix either, in fact many of the problems I have in my stock unrooted HTC Ones (yes I have been through 2 of them) have been something not many people experience and people keep saying it is my fault. Will keep searching for a fix but if anyone else finds one it will help!
Hi,
I do have few perplessity about rom and android phone in general.
I have to say that I mainly had only HTC android phone (I tried the S3 but I sold it after 3 weeks, couldn't stand many things of it) and I'm somewhat quite disappointed about the wifi (of android in general and of non sense rom in particular).
Right now I'm working on a cruise ship and the wifi connection here is REALLY bad BUT I noticed few things:
1) from the same place people with iphone are using skype with video call (not the best ever but still working), with my HTC ONE I've problems loading facebook and checking email because the connectin seems SO slow (but than why ipohne user can do skype?!?!?!)
2) With any sense rom all works more or less fine BUT with 3 different non sense roms I tried I have the following "connection problems":
2a) this wifi is like an internet cafe so i need to login...surfing the net sometimes (often actually) the internet connection stops, I've to disable the wifi of my phone and turn it on again to make the internet connection works again (I don't have to login again to the internet cafe login page, just need to turn off and on the wifi module) -- with the sense rom I tried I didn't have this problem or it didn't happen so often like with the non sense rom I tried
2b) it seems that the non sense rom catch less signal, maybe it's just a feeling but from my cabin I had with a sense rom 3/4 line of signal with a non sense rom 1/2 line
So mainly what I would like to ask is:
1) Is it possible that iphone has better wifi and in a way or another is able to drain more band than an android phone? And if so, is there something to install/do to make the android phone works like the iphone?
2) Is it possible that non sense rom use different module for the wifi that in some way decrease the efficency of it? If so is there a way to install the sense wifi apk on a non sense one or is there any way to optimizing the wifi?
3) How is it possible that I loose the internet connection of the wifi in here (things that doesn't happen with my laptop and that happen not so often with a sense rom) and is there a way to fix it/boost the wifi ??
Thanks for your advice,
Massimiliano

Most here will not admit it but the iPhone is a very refined device with very good service both wifi and network. I had the iPhone 3gs and 4s for nearly 5 years and changing to the HTC One took some getting use too. I'm not sure if it's the quality of the components used or just a better antenna system, but yes the iPhone is very good at both. I'm by no means unhappy with the One but it was a noticeable change when it come to signals. That said I'll still never own another iPhone ..lol
