[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] conna:
Hello,

can anyone tell me, how I can calibrate the g sensor with HD2/MAGLDR/CWM? I'm using Typhoon CM7 as OS. I've read something about fastboot, but I can't figure out how to enter it in my case. Would be happy, if someone can help me on that. For example I can't properly play Asphalt 5/6 - I always have to bend my phone right to drive straight ahead and that happens to be kinda annoying.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XthelordinatorX:
the calibration goes atomatically when you flash it so maybe that there is an app for it out then on the market but i'm not sure
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] conna:
Mh, then it did calibrate wrong. I need an app or something to calibrate it manually. I've already flashed my phone like 10 times and the calibration never was right.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MarkAtHome:
I might very well be way off, but without reading anything about it, my instincts were to place the phone onto a level surface (confirmed using a level), then clicked on the calibrate button.

Might I have misinterpretted its function?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] conna:
Thanks for your answer, but my problem is that I can't find any option or button to calibrate the G-Sensor. With the original Windows OS there was an option, but I can't find any in Android. Either I'm blind or you need to enter some special boot mode to calibrate. Doesn't anyone know? I don't think no one has calibrated the G-Sensor in Android yet?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] idcom:
You cannot calibrate in non sense roms. However there is an old thread which talks about editing AK8973Prms.txt file in /data/misc. I use this technique and it seems to work. I am not at home but search on the filename should bring it up.

Edit: here is the link.

Thank you! This should do it for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clyder:
I have downloaded an app from market called 'Bubble'. It has a calibrate option.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] idcom:
I've found that most apps which have a calibrate function work only within the app not globally across the system. By doing the above all apps which use the g-sensor I.e. games seem to work better.

[HD2 General] arj154:
Hi

Im considering getting the HD2 due to the great mod community surrounding it however I've heard that its quite unstable with most ROMs, is this true? Also is it stable when dual booting with android and windows phone 7? Particularly for android as I'm quite an android enthusiast. I use a class 4 16gb card and i could apply the read/write mod in android if that helps. Is there a way to quickly switch between windows phone 7 and android by say pressing a button on boot like the xperia x10's recovery screen?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
The instability you have heard about is the stock Windows Mobile ROM that comes on the HD2, but if you flash HSPL and a custom ROM from here on XDA like say an Energy ROM you will see none of that instability. I can not speak from personal experience with dual booting WP7b and Android as I have not flashed WP7. But the dual boot on Windows Mobile and Android is awesome I have a one touch boot app for mine that will allow me to choose on boot up if I want to boot Android or Windows Mobile. I say buy an HD2 you can not go wrong and you can get tons of support from here on XDA. ;)
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
No it isn't unstable. Just some android roms you may find slow.
[HD2 General] arj154:
thanks sounds like a great phone to go to, specially after the x10! Although does anyone know if theres a way to make it so that you can boot into android when windows phone is booting up without having to set it in the recovery menu? I saw 1 post about it so im not too sure if it was possible or if they were talking about winmo/android
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanstapler:
Whenever my phone says "Media Scanner running" after only mounting my phone with my computer, it erases everything in my playlists. They completely empty out. The playlist itself is still there, but all of the songs inside are gone. For some reason, I have one playlist that consistently keeps a single song (the same one everytime) in the playlist, but any other song in the playlist will disappear.

I prefer to use winamp, but this issue is with every media player.

I've done a lot of searching and googling, and all I've found were a few others with this same issue, but nothing to fix this problem. I'm running Serendipity 6.3. Any ideas?

EDIT: This has happened on any ROM I use.

[Droid 2 General] ataris_kid:
Hey all,

I was going to post this in the Development section but alas it won't let me yet. Just curious as to what limits Liberty 1.5 in terms of the native USB tethering functionality. I'm running Fission 2.6.1 on my Droid 2 right now and it's got the USB tethering feature (via Settings->Wireless & networks->Tethering). Is there a reason that Liberty 1.5 doesn't? Is this a function of the kernel that each rom uses, or is it something related to the compiling of the rom itself?

Thanks in advance!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LakerStar25:
I don't know if I'm the only one but I am on my 3rd going on 4th Thunderbolt. The problem is the ear piece speaker as soon as I use speaker phone once or twice it seems to kinda blow out I guess and everything is a lot lower even with everything turned all the way up and some of the sounds that come out of that speaker are so low or totally gone after that happens. Like the lock and unlock sounds cant be heard anymore unless you have the phone to your ear and even then its a really dim barley noticeable click. And when on calls everything is lower out of that speaker even with the volume turned all the way up. And its only with that speaker the back one is perfect.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssibal:
no problems
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LakerStar25:
yea I just don't know everytime I use speaker phone a few times it seems to happen on a every single one I have had. I've gone to 3 different verizon stores so its not that its one particular store. I'm going later to get another one and the rep at the store said she would give me $20 credit towards a blue tooth speaker if I wanted so I guess I'm gonna do that. I don't know if its just these speakers cant handle full volume on speaker phone?
[Desire HD General] shillizzle:
Could poor sound quality be a result of flashing to the newest radio for my phone? It sounds very "tinny". But I rooted the phone and went to core Droid 4.5 right away so I'm mot sure if that's just the way it is. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Desire HD General] Jerry_East:
Flash radio will help while not means you must have the newest. For example, if you are using 1.32 then 12.28b will be better, 1.72 will have 12.28e sf, 1.84 will have 12.35 ...... And this is not a rule, just some collected experience. :D

I'm not sure if its the kernal that is the problem as I have the matching ril for the radio that im using (telus wwe) but I flashed coredroid 7 again after hearing how good the sound was but the poor quality returned.

[Nexus One General] DarsVaeda:
I really wonder why there is none of such thread here!

Gingerbread unfortunately brought only bad things to my Nexus. I already forgot why I was so crazy about installing it.

What feature did it introduce again?

Okay the response is much better and everything seems faster...but with lots of bugs?

That screen off animation? Seriously?

Things that I hate now:

- Battery Time: this is bad, can't even run half a day with lot of usage, b

efore I could listen to mp3's one day, ie. more than 4 hours without any problems...now :(

- Camera: either Cam or Video, the application crashes after I take a photo or video and then I can not connect to it anymore

- Gallery: often crashes, especially if you have an online photo account connected

- unlock screen: I use a pattern, often there is no overlay of what pattern I drag, still the screen can be unlocked

- Market: even if automatic updates activated, it only updates if you open the market and go to the "my apps" tab

- 3G and Wifi: if you are connected to wifi more than 15 minutes and then disconnect from it you do not get any 3G, you have to go to airplane mode and back, this bug appeared ages ago and was fixed, now back again...tells you a lot about their merging control, ie. sucks

- notification led: you know...

- apps: there are a lot of apps running even though I never used them since restart (see it in a task killer app)

- gps: on a random bases it tries to lock even though no app that uses gps is running

- phone reboot: it even rebooted without any notice two times since I installed it

(- Contacts: I still can't enter a simple thing like a birthday on an expensive phone like this)

MOD EDIT: Borderline trolling removed. If you switch OSes, that's your own choice. No one here is stopping you.

Got any troubles? Tell here.
[Nexus One General] sarshadd:
4. Blank keyboard- fixed by switching to another keyboard and back again, or a reset

5. Blank Launcher- fixed with reset

6. In the stock SMS app a long press>delete conversation doesn't always delete the selected conversation; sometimes you have to do it twice.

As far as battery goes, my display is still the thing that takes up the most battery (which is normal) but I had been experiencing severe declines in battery life. Does the switch to 32-bit color require more processing power and therefore battery?

I *#*#4636#*#*>phone information and saw it was set to WCDMA preferred. I remember playing with the option when froyo came out but didn't remember what it was set to (Maybe Gingerbread reset the option...?). I changed it to GSM PRL (Auto), and have experienced increases in battery life, as my phone isn't hunting for 3G all the time- it uses a service provided list of tower locations.

The LED REALLY bugs me.

Hate about Gingerbread

No trackball wake

Short battery life

Useless keyboard selection gimmicks
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Well, glad to know mine isn't the only one that does this!!

On Froyo I would wake up in the morning to freshly updated apps that had updated automatically over night.

I have not had this happen a single time on Gingerbread, and nearly every time I go in to the market there are updates waiting.

What is the point of the automatic update feature when it doesn't work???
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
auto update never worked for me, even in froyo.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
-Battery with CM7 roms

-Trackball wake blocked in non-CM7 roms

-More difficult to mod themes like statusbar (before we just had to change a png and now we have to edit a bunch of files)

So in summary GB roms are still not stable and complete, they have either TB wake missing or poor battery life too
[Nexus One General] geemaan:
My annoying issues?

- 2 second mic mute after I answer a call

- stock launcher choking after a while

Less annoying ones:

- Market does not automatically update apps

- gps activations without an apparent reason
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
My annoyances

In no particular order:

The cursor select triangle not lining up with the cursor

Launcher unresponsive/vanishing

Lockscreen pattern not showing (as in the OP)

Phone randomly stays awake at night

GPS turns itself off

Not able to view an apps wakelock any more

USB mount screen shows 'turn off' even when it isn't mounted (UK issue)

USB debugging icon doesn't appear, or doesn't turn off depending on how you enabled it

Exchange push is just crap now, I swear it's getting worse by the day
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
While I'm not a big Gingerbread lover at all, here are answers to some of the points:

Battery time is fine, at least in freshly installed ROMs it far exceeds what Froyo mastered.

Camera is your own problem - you didn't update radio, or your update went bad.

Gallery never crashed - again, your own problem (you get the feeling now, right?).

3G and WiFi - again, your own problem. No bug.

Apps - and why do you care? Isn't the "DO NOT USE TASK KILLER" thread clear enough? 150-200MB free RAM aren't self-explanatory?

Due to your comments, you might really consider switching to Apple. It would be beneficial both for you and for this forum.

Or you could back up user data, wipe, install new radio and bootloader, load fresh Gingerbread ROM (NOT CM7 or CM7-based), and have most of your points addressed.

Now, having said that, if you want a much better overall feel - install Froyo-based Desire port, or if you don't have any use for Hotspot - DesireHD port. I hate using barebone Android after some experience with it.
[Nexus One General] xxlikquidxx:
have you guys heard about Cyanogenmod ROM? I am using CM7 RC4 and I have no problems that anyone mentioned in this thread....
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Maybe you haven't heard that your experience not necessarily represents anything.

For me (and another 2 guys that asked me to reinstall other ROM on their Nexus Ones), CM7 was a huge, awful pile of bugs. Starting with the ill-famous "wonk".

Plus, again, after having some SenseUI I don't really want to go back to plain Android, and wouldn't suggest it to anyone looking for a good overall experience.
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
I have an occasional problem with the application tray where it stutters, flashes and doesn't scroll properly. It seems to happen only after exiting certain apps, and needs the launcher to be force closed to fix.
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Exactly my experience too. Absolutely brilliant ROM.

Just lost all credibility in my book...:D

I would suggest the OP decides what features he/she wants in a ROM and then try a few different ones out. There are plenty to cater to all tastes and i'm sure they'll be able to find one that works well for them.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
1. exchange sync stops syncing without any reason. can't start a manual sync. only reboot of the phone helps for a short period of time. needs a fix very urgently.

2. TINY TINY notification icons...the worst idea google had for the GB update. i cannot see the difference between the gmail and exchange mail icon on normal usage in example.

There are some more points which i also mentioned in my blog about gingerbread for nexus one:

- The cursor select triangle not lining up with the cursor

- Auto brightness adjustment no longer fades, now it just jump straight to full bright or full dim.

As for the people suggesting we update the radio and try different roms, while that is primarily what this board is about, it doesn't "solve" anything. This is a stock Nexus One with official everything. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work.

As for me... (before I moved back to Froyo 2.2.2)

1. Date format on notification bar didn't follow as in date setting. Stuck with MM DD format.

3. Eating battery juice like nobody business. Won't last for even full day under moderate use.

4. Screen auto brightness fail to lower screen brightness when the ambient light level drop.

5. Wifi policy that kill battery juice.

More annoyance than solid functionality. Moved back to Froyo 2.2.2 after less than a week of use.
