8. charging problem when the device is off (magldr issue )
9.Support For 1024LEO full Capacity (currently limited to 512)

Notes:

A. some issues are windows phone 7 related that we should wait for microsoft to fix them see the list here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836373

B. I will request the next rom update to be an hd7 reg edited as default , so that we will only need to use the activation code without cracking the phones security with (chevron wp7.exe ) as with the next microsoft ypdate we will not be able to use it any more.

C. All problems are being repeated now , i think the list above includes it all ,one more day and i will be reporting all these issues on the chinees forum , or to cotulla ,

A very big problem don't let your phone empty its charge as it can't be charged while it is off and it will die unless you find a way to charge it externally

WiFi problem - I can't see all WPA secured WiFi networks, I can find (and connect) my WiFi at home, but at work, HD2 doesn't see WiFi there...

Yesterday I answered the phone and the opposite side can't hear me (radio 2.15.., I don't know, just the last version)

Sometimes the phone is little bit laggy, I think, that the problem is in the SD card, when I used the phone w/o card (before hard-reset ofc), everything was faster

Warning!

Installed win phone 7 on my HD2, and it formated my 16 gb memory card in a secured partition, all data was erased, and i could not format it using any windows tools, so the only solution for me was to "Hard" Format it using a free software called SDFormatter, it formated and brought back to life my microSD Card.

So people, back up your data before flashing.

I had the same problem. I've noticed that the wlan channel from my wlan router was 13. I switched the channel to 11 and then WP7 find my wlan...

So, WP7 doesn't support wlan channels higher then 11...

The type isn't clear when you scroll down or up in the system menu, it takes a little bit time when the type is clear again.

The next problem for me is that I don't know how to set up wireless synchronization, I think I've done everything according to Microsoft pages, but it doesn't work for me.

And then I have the same problems like you, loud speakers, camera...

Well, after reading most of the posts here I guess I was lucky, WiFi and Mobile data connection worked for me, the phone was fast (faster than Android).

The whole WP7 seems to be 'airy' and not so heavy as Android, I liked the look of emails, large and clear fonts, easy to read and navigate. But on the whole, the system seems to be too closed off, not much customization is available.
I did manage to unlock it and install some 3rd party apps but soon the phone would give me a message that 'Microsoft has revoked' the particular program. Also the phone keeps locking itself over and over. I got tired of unlocking it every time I wanted to install a new app. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. Had to either reset the phone or PC many times in order for things to work.

Does anybody know a solution to this?

I could have asked MS to give me the 'key' so that live services could be used but was not sure I want to keep this OS on my phone. It may be similar to Vista issue, a nice looking OS but buggy. Somehow I have a feeling that a new and (much) improved WP7 is around the corner.

Couple of tips:

If you want to sync your contacts, calendar, etc., the easiest way is to go through Google. If you used an Android ROM before this should not be a problem. Back up all your contacts in Android by using your Google account, once you are in WP7 go to Settings - People - Gmail and sign in. It will automatically sync your contacts to the phone - painlessly. You can also choose not to have your Facebook contacts mixed with the phone's ones. Up to you.

If you want to revert back to WinMO 6.5 or Android:
- take out your SD card first
- turn off your phone and then hold the Vol Down key as you press and hold the Power button (get into Bootloader screen)
- flash the official ROM (3.14 RUU is recommended)
- use your photo camera to format your SD card (if you have a card holder, stick in, and then format)
- if you wish you can format your SD card again once you put it back into your phone and plug it into your PC

It worked for me. I am using my SD card again to run Android (flawlessly):)

After unlock the phone, you have to use 2 softs :HTC Connection Setup and Tom WP7 Jailbreak in order to prevent from MS remote lock. Have you used it before?

    Cause of headset problems...

    Ok, So I also was running into the headset problem where the left speaker only was working and at a very very low volume. I originally figured it to be just a bug and re-flashed the phone. Once re-flashed all was well. Headset volume was pitch perfect on both speakers and I was once again happy. I then needed to unlock my phone again and had one helluva time getting chevron to work a second time ; first time was a breeze){ problem solved by re-installing Zune with internet disconnected}. Once my phone was unlocked the second time around I immediately got a call from a friend and the headset volume was once again poor with only the left speaker working.
    So, I believe there is something going wrong once you unlock and have your phone activated for marketplace.
    Hope this helps the people out there that are smarter than me.
    Also, I'd like to give a hearty big fat thank you to all the devs and the entire community here!

    Yea i had the same issues with the unlocking thingy - i unlocked it - installed the apps etc that i wanted but after a few installs later when i would continue installing the apps /games it told me the phone's locked again - i just continued unlocking (took a couple of seconds anyways) and continued installing the apps -And yea your right about how the system seems to be closed off - I mean from my general user's perspective, it reminds me of the IOS etc - but so much has been done to improve upon removing the limitations with IOS in regards to customizations and usability and hopefully similar improvements will be seen with WP7 as well!

    19. Digital Compass

    Issues for the Digital Compass on WP7:

    Some ROMs dont support it, and in some ROMs, the needle is going the opposite direction.
    A workaround can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22478542&postcount=2382

    Note: this is just using an compass app that works (hence workaround) and does not fix the hardware/driver (solution).
    So it will still go the wrong way using other apps.

    How to test:
    0) hold your device flat in front of you
    1) open a compass app, rotate your body left/right until it faces north
    2) now rotate 90 degree to the left
    Note: while you turn, you should notice that the needle tries to keep pointing to the same direction

    3) if it points WEST - it is correct; if it points EAST then it is pointing the wrong direction. From the link above, download the 'correct' compass app, and load it using the XAP loader (a.k.a Application Deployment). If your device/rom is locked, then developer unlock it following the methods for your phone/rom.
