HTC HD2 - Signal Problems

[DAZZD88]

The guy I work with has a HTC HD2 and seems to have poor signal in our office. I generally have poor signal at home with my SE C902 but in our office I usually get a decent 3G signal. As soon as he used an old mobile with the same sim card, his signal improved drastically.

 

My question is, are all HTCs the same or will I be safe enough gettign the Desire? I would hope so, I think they've got a few features more useful to me than the iPhone. I know a few people on here have the Desire and I can imagine a few have the HD2 as well.

I personally have no problems with signal on my Desire - once in a blue moon I'll get a "Message not sent - retrying" when sending a text, but if you give it a sec to sort itself out then it's fine.

My HD2's reception is pretty much the same as my previous 2 phones. Unfortunately that means iffy at home and poor at 2 of my 4 sites.

So sounds like it may just be the HD2 then? The guy I work with reckons it could be down to the OS being Windows Mobile rather than Android, could this be true?

Is he holding it correctly

Hmm...yeah. Lol. I thought of that but he has signal problems even when he's not holding it.

Desire is my best phone yet for signal, works very well for voice and data, a little shaky on texts sometimes but that's three for you. WAY better than any Nokia I have ever owned.

I haven't had any problems at all with the signal on my Desire but has anyone else had problems with the auto-rotate screen function since the 2.2 Froyo update?

Mine is fine, it's fast and works in 3 positions unlike my old Magic's slow 2 positions.

I'm finding it loses the plot sometimes when I access messaging, email or the browser and seems to make its own mind up which orientation it's using irrespective of how the phone is held. Sometimes it doesn't respond when I change the orientation. Perhaps my phone is faulty?
