[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jodajen2:
I have watched and read for some time here and been putting the android switch off because of time. Now I would like to try to run a build or two from my MicroSD. I have seen several places that a formatted SD is best. I have tons of WM's apps stored there so I reluctant to format over them.

I would like to be able to dual boot with my current WM6.5 and android.

I thought about getting a second Micro SD to mess with but if I had to swap sd card it would be a real pain. I have a Otter box for my HD2 and just getting the cover off to reset it is terrible.

Can I partition my Micro SD for wm and android? or does it have to be two cards?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Since you are staying with winmo and running android from SD, there's no need for partitioning the card,,, the android build simply lives in a folder called android on the SD card.

Partitioning the SD card is for nand android that uses apps2sd.

If you want to format the card,(or if you decide to partition) just copy everything off onto the PC, format (or partition) it, then copy everything back.

I have all my winmo files and folders still on my card, with no issues (running nand build with partitioned card,,, the android stuff and winmo stuff all sit quite happily together with no interference)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jodajen2:
Samsamuel,

Thanks for the reply. That is good news. I know that the class of the card makes a different in performance but should I even try it on the class 2 16gb card what came with the phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
I'm using a 7 or 8 year old 2gbsandisk, no idea what class it is but can't be that great, and I have no problems, no lags, nothing to indicate any performance issues.

couple weeks ago, i pulled my battery out when it was at 81% started it back right away and it was 45%, did it again today, it went from 71% down to 29%, my battery reading is tripping, I noticed. MY BATTERY IS HORRID, i lose 1% power per min on the lowest screen brightness display setting, could this have anything to do with this?

side note:

using my battery. battery stats says that my screen is causing 99% drainage.

my buddy battery: my screen is 80% drainage.

bad battery??? it still drains really quick with my buddy's battery, but DOES perform better. but not by much...

another thing, lol..... charging differs. sometimes it can charge like 10% every 10 minutes, and sometimes 30min for 10%.....its just weird. and my phone doesn't last me longer than 10 hours full charge, minimal use.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkirby11:
You may want to look at your battery health under the battery information menu.

Also to better understand and provide support we need to knock out a few things.

What is your current set up? ( rom,kernel, etc)

Have you done a battery calibration at all?

Have you run things like cpu spy to see what apps could be at fault?

All of this can give the community a better picture of what may be going on :-)

Also I pull my battery alot because of testing and sleeps of death and I see very good battery life still. Atm 15 hours @ 72% and I am far from conservative.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
Just FYI, you don't have to do a battery pull when you get SOD. Just hold the volume up and power buttons until you see the samsung logo, then let go. This is a hard reboot of your phone. That will save you battery a little bit as you won't be pulling it as much.

My base version is I9100BOKD1

Buidl. GINGERBREAD.BOKE4

Kernel 2.6.35.7-9100BOKE4-CL-188639root DELL102#2

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddybear2:
Thanks for the answer. Where do I get the stock kernel from? Is it possible to backup it from the device.

I read that I would need the adb driver for my phone. I have KIES installed and I am able to get on the phone via MyPhoneExplorer. However, KIES does not work. Where do I get the adb driver from? Uninstall and reinstall KIES? Thanks anyway for the quick response!

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
HTC is looking to adapt EVERY SINGLE FREAKING SMARTPHONE of theirs with a "premium unibody design". Honestly they must be doing a horrible job (or less likely keeping our legacy alive) because they all seem ugly to me.

I was also being a total **** at Future Shop the other day and went in with very sharp nails. The Desire HD scratched with so much ease, an unbelievable amount of ease, like I'm trying to hug my girlfriend with super sharp nails ease. Packing those same nails,

I headed over to the Wildfire S. Same problem.

The Legend however, stayed alive with very unnoticable scratches using the same rabid scratching force. OMGILUVMYPHONE<3
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stemnin:

Yes HTC legend is the best looking device.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavamaarten:
I never found it a real attractive device (based on pictures) until I won it. I really love the design of the part above this "lump" on the bottom of the device (the part where the trackball is on). In my opinion the "lump" is too big and the trackball worthless, I never use it.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyRq:
Well, I bought the Legend cuz of the looks. The Desire was basically the same price but the UniBody design got my attention. I don't regret my decision, and I'm still thinking that the Legend is one of the most beautiful smartphones till date.

Hey guys,

I've been running virtuous 1.02 for a while. I've been itching to try out gingerbread, so I'm looking for a new ROM.

Most of the 2.3 based ROMs I've seen have included sense 3.0; I'm not sure I really like that version of sense. So I'm looking for something with 2.3 and sense 2.1. Any recommendations?

Also, I'm running out of memory on my SD card, so I'm looking to pick up a 32gb one. Are there any cards / brands that aren't compatible that I should watch out for? I've also read conflicting reports that the phone only supports up to class 4 cards, any clarification on that?

On the subject of SD cards, does anyone have any experience with the PNY 32gb:

http://www.jr.com/pny/pe/PNY_SDU32G10TEF/
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I avoid PNY products now. Haven't used a Micro SD from them. But have a PNY SD card for my camera. The plastic casing was very cheaply made, and completely split apart very quickly, from normal usage. I had to super glue it together, and it works fine. But very poor construction. Similarly, I also have a USB thumb drive made by PNY. The USB plug part pulled out of the plastic casing. Again, it still works fine after some super glue therapy. But cheap and poor build quality, and unreliability makes me stay away from PNY now.

Now I typically only buy Sandisk Micro SD, SD, and thumb drives. Have not had any issues with them. They are more expensive. But you get what you pay for.

Hi

Went to bed, surfed the web a bit, I had USB OTG Cable connected. Woke up this morning, went to turn it on and nothing. Thought the USB OTG had burned the battery so I charged it up, still nothing.

Connected to PC, tried the command: adb devices

Nothing.

Black screen of deadness on my Xoom. There is a method for restoring I believe, no? All rooting was initially completed using ADB but since 1.4.2 I have just used BRD's downloads and used Clockwork Mod recovery to install in recovery mode from zip on SD card.

The last thing I was trying to get working was NTFS partitions on memory sticks yesterday but didn't have any luck.

[Galaxy S II General] MiG123:
hardware limitations. supercurio was essentially able to develop voodoo for wolfson dac based devices as the defects back then were software based and were solved by rewriting some of the buggy code.

The yamaha dac used in SGSII meanwhile has some critical hardware flaws that can only be resolved at the production/design level by the manufacturer. As an independent user just like the rest of us, all supercurio can do now is to feedback his findings to yamaha and hope they resolve the issues in future batches of their dac...

That's basically what I gather from supercurio's twitter posts and his reasoning for not pursing voodoo sound on the SGSII.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I wonder though if the color banding seen on the sgs2 is also caused by the sharpness filters mentioned in the voodoo project.
[Galaxy S II General] kradcliffe:
I sold the S2 and went back to the original Galaxy S with voodoo sound mod.

The difference is day and night ...... and the Galaxy S has far far more volume for driving headphones.

I did prefer the S2 screen and camera, but the sound was just truly horrible. With no prospect of a sound fix on the Yamaha card and no word of a volume boost there was no point going on with the S2.

Sadly, if playing music is a priority then the S2 is not for you!

Keith
[Galaxy S II General] darkalchemist:
Volume+ boosts the volume fine on my SGS2....
[Galaxy S II General] kradcliffe:
All volume+ does is rack up all the frequencies on the system EQ and it sounds terrible.

Enable Volume+ then look at the curve it sets with the equalizer app. It's not a volume boost as such rather an EQ boost that makes the distortion worse!

Keith
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
FWIW I don't find the sound that bad on the SGS2 using Classic Equaliser and Normal sound effect... yes it could be a touch louder, but it compared OK with my Sony NWZ-S639 walkman which was highly regarded for its sound quality a couple of years back, I also had an iphone 4 beforehand.

I'm not saying the SGS2 is perfect for audio playback, far from it, but it is COMPLETELY blown out of proportion on here.
[Galaxy S II General] djbanging:
Bit of a noob question here but I'm finding it difficult to find clear info on this.

I've just switched from an iPhone 3G to the SGS2 and the volume on the SGS2 (with every band maxed in the equaliser) is only about 2/3 of what my iPhone maxed was outputting (nothing too scientific - I just listened to the same track on my SGS2 as my iPhone with the SGS2 headphones).

From reading this I get the impression that this is the highest volume I'll ever be able to get from the SGS2 because the audio hardware is kinda lousy - is that right? Or is there any other way I can boost the output?
[Galaxy S II General] arielext:
Sometimes i think I'm crazy; I'm using the S2 with the lowest possible volume output with my custom molded earphones (almost no resistance) but even with high resistance headphones (eg. a 300ohm beyer dynamic) it's still more then loud enough for me. What bothers me though it that the dac chip is just crap soundwise, low on stereo seperation and an enormous boost for midrange tones; as if the headphone output is meant to be used as a headset for crips and loud talks.

My desire hd had a better sound output (which was still louzy).
[Galaxy S II General] chokedup:
