[Bada Software and Hacking General] NHS2008:
Hi everyone,

For Past week or so, I have been trying and trying and trying with varying degrees of success in my quest to get Android on my Wave. At the moment I am clueless about what I am doing wrong! I have followed the tutorial to the dot! except for the deletion of Wi-fi file. And I have faced all the issues mentioned in the TUT thread in different installs, now its just getting stuck at the language select menu! after choosing language, it freezes! So I want someone who has perfectly installed Android on Wave with applications and Wi-fi to tell me the small tit-bits and nuances, just the wisdom that you may have earned of...this procedure!

Here's my Specs:

Samsung Wave S8500 with XXJK1 firmware successfully flashed and tested with Android.

Sandick 16 GB SDHC Micro SD CARD

Tried 13 bada 2 android but not enough space errors

Tried 14 bada 1 android but random hangs, once boot fine. next time nothing!

Thanks! :o
[Bada Software and Hacking General] vanherst:
It's a pre-alpha release. So you can't expect that it will run smoothly. So my advice wait for the first official release.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] NHS2008:
Yes, I understand that, but curiosity is killing me...:o I missed my work today in hope that I WILL GET THIS DONE! but hell, I am still going no where!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] vanherst:
Maby is it your Micro Card. More people are complaining that it's not working. I've a scandisk 4GB card and it's working fine. Have you treid both tuts?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] NHS2008:
Thing is, I had got it working without a hitch with 2gb, but no apps would install and then today I try as most say that you shuold not go over 1 gb for EXT2 Parttion, I kept it one gb and now I am having these absolutely random hangs. what is the secon tutorial? I don't thinnk thats the issue. what size of partition are you using? And what tutorial did you follow..? Thanks.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] vanherst:
My partition is 1943 Mb. But if android is running and the partition is smaller then 4gb i think it's go wrong by the chmod 0777 command.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] NHS2008:
And you can install apps? Also I do not understand what you mean my your second sentence?? you yourseld have a partition of 1933 mb right? and why does it go wrong with chmod?? thanks for replying.. I am trying once again...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] vanherst:
The command CHMOD 0777 gives read/write/delete permissions on the folders and files. So when there goes something wrong with that command android can't write files on your sdcard.

Yes i can install apps and play games on android :-)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] NHS2008:
So you don't use those commands (chmod) when you installed it? and how did you copy your files? thanks for the replies :)

EDIT: Woo hoo!! angry birds just worked! but I am getting ERROR when I try to enable Wi-fi! :( Do you know what this issue??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] vanherst:
Yes i used the command (chmod) because if you don't use, the market never works.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] Sly90:
The perfect recipe is WAITING for the stable release. Oleg and company are working so hard in this port and its so unstable not and have some clues to be solved.

Please, if you don't know what are you really doing, stop trying Android unless it will be fully ported. Because nowadays it will be unstable and nothing we can do will solve it.

We just have to be pacient and give our support to developers, and let then do their job.

Android in our Waves is now a reality, don't disturb people who are working on it and let them porting it. Maybe it will be fully ported in a few months.

This release is only for testing purposes, not for playing Angry Birds and nothing else, and its pretty useless. So don't think you will get a full Android right now installing some patches and touching the configuration, because it is IMPOSSIBLE right now.

Threads with no sense like this one, made only by impatient people, should be closed.

Regards.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] jcsantos26:
agree with the last post, I am also tempted to make the port but I badly need a working phone , so I guess will wait for the stable version when I see everyone is ok with theirs :D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
unmount your device and use fcsk -y /dev/<your_device>. this should correct problems becoz most of the people has prob due to not properly created filesystem or sudden shutdown. this will also solve input output error on chmod
[Bada Software and Hacking General] NHS2008:
Thanks people! but I got it working to the fullest (atleast, upto what is possible atm)!!

I noticed that for some reason, there were some files missing in 'System/etc' folder.

namely, the Wifi folder. So I pasted it from my PC and chmoded it and sudo synced it. then repaired with Gparted. Now works perfect! XD

I'm on T mobile in the usa and I'm using Nand Android, Hyper Droid CM7 2.01. I'am having issues with losing signal in areas I know I have coverage in but only shortly. It randomly goes in and out. I know this is an issue with TmoUSA. I was wondering if anyone in the usa uses a rom that does not have this issue or a solution? Thanks in advance for any help
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TOG565:
I haven't noticed it in coredroid v1.6 but higher battery drain and more eye candy. Cymlx and the others were tested and had drops also.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
Yes, TMOUSA service drops in NYC area.

I'm glad you posted this question. I'm using Typhoon CM7 MADLDR (always the latest version) and notice a few day ago a radical drop in connectivity on TMOUSA in NYC Metro area. I spent the last couple of days revisiting all the reception points from SD ROM days (verifying APN, Phone setting in "WCDMA Preferred", searching network, etc) with no luck. Now with your post I think it may have been a system problem with TMobile all along.

It seems like the signal does not have as much strength as just a few days ago. I used to get full bars inside a building, but now no service. Out in the street I get random signal drops. Im not getting service in areas I know I used to get service before. I dont think it is ROM related, as it happened before I ugraded to 3.3.8.

Data is also very unreliable. In area's I had "H" or "3G", I'm only getting "E", or nothing.

Anyone hear of system issues with TMobile USA, northeast.

Edit- I've been using 2.15.50.14 Radio since the beginning of Android on my HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KalynSS999:
I'm getting random drops, MAGDLR 1.13, Hyperdroid GBXv12. Southwest (AZ) I change to 2.15 radio, seems to have help slightly. I don't get complete dropouts of signal as often anymore, but seems unstable, going from 5bars to 2 bars. and constant switching between 3G and Edge.

Let me mention that my original HD2 was fine. My touch screen went out. After about a month to a month and a half of trying to figure it out (swapped, digitizer, didn't work, swapped digitizer+LCD, didn't work, swapped out motherboard, worked) I finally got it working again. I'm not sure if it's the different mother board that's causing my issues or if it just coincidentally coincided with some network issues TMo US's network has been having. (I did restore the phone to all my previous settings and radio ROMs)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paul5740:
I've had this problem for like two months or so. Its definitly my hd2 android cause I'll be around other people on T mobile and they may not have full bars but they with be pull 3g where I'm on E or nothing at all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
I figured out that my bad conectivity issues were caused by hardware problem. I say "were" because I fixed it.

It's a bad antenna connection. I realized I had a similar signal problems on my touch pro, caused by the main board contacts not touching the antenna pads on the back cover. I found pictures of a disassembled HD2 here on XDA and saw the same design. I removed the back of my HD2 and sure enough one of the contacts was bent low and not touching the antenna. I bent it back up, reassembled the HD2, and restored full bars!!

I think the contact was flattened when I dropped my phone.

Trust me, it's a very simple fix. I'll start a thread with instruction and and pictures if anyone wants it. There's an HD2 disassembly video and pictures available here: http://m.pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked . You only need to take off the back 4 screws and pry off the back with a flat plastic stick .

I'm writing this now on my HD2 connected by T-Mobile whete previously I had no signal.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RDionysus:
nonpaq,

You could have the answer I'm looking for! I've been posting all over the place looking for knowledgeable input on this exact issue (including here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15423321&postcount=20).

As I mentioned in that post, after spending countless hours doing software-related troubleshooting to no avail, it occurred to me that there might be an internal problem with the phone. The problem is-- and quite unbelievably, considering all the other numerous resources for this device-- there isn't a whole lot of hard documentation on the HD2 cellular antenna circuitry. There's a bunch on the GPS lead, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc., but nothing on the main radio. The "official" HTC vids referenced above I've watched over a dozen times--nothing in there. All the HD2 tear-down threads with photos inconveniently ignore this part of the hardware. There's even 1 or 2 threads here on XDA in which I discovered someone erroneously labeled as the Antenna a part which is actually the Camera flash circuit.

I had pretty much exhausted everything and was about to give up, but your post could prove to be the light at the end of the tunnel. :)

So, before I relegate my phone to the recycling heap or sell it for parts, maybe you can journal the steps from your successful antenna "fix" (and some accompanying photos would truly be magnificent). BTW, I don't need fourteen pages of detail, just fleshing out the major points would do...

Not only would you be helping me immensely, but I've found quite a few others here on the boards with the same problem, therefore a lot of people would benefit from this guidance.

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the input. I starting to think its a hardware issue like some have mention. I've change many roms, os and, radio to no avail.

I'm sorry I wasn't following this thread, so I didn't realize there was interest. I am on my phone now so I don't have access to photos to upload. Its actually a very easy fix on the HD2 because this phone is so easy to open. I will look for teardown photos to point out the antenna posts, and baring that I will just redo mine and take photos. Stay tuned.

Sup guys! im kinda new to this forum and im kinda stuck with S-Off Precedure With Alpharev.

I am not sure which hboot to download so i went to "bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img"

I had burn the img to be bootable disc and when it boots, it read the disc and it prompt me to boot back in windows xp.

Did i download the wrong hboot or i am not burning a bootable disc?

THANKS IN ADVANCE :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
You need to download and burn the Alpharev utility to disc, boot that and it will run you through the s-off procedure. You then flash the .img file you currently have through fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
That is a hboot paritioning image.

You should download this http://alpharev.nl/alpharev.iso and burn it on a cd.

To flash the image file you mentioned use this procedure:

1) Nandroid backup in recovery.

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'fastboot erase cache'

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

Read more carefully the page.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Something going wrong while flashing a radio can brick your phone. I assume the computer doesn't recognize it and you can't boot into fastboot? Hope that's not the case.

Hi Guys,

I assume that in the UK, we can use XW or XX, according to, for example this website http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-706422.html

Getting that out of the way, I assume that JPN is "newer" than both JPF, JPM and JPI

Is my logic correct? I gave up waiting for Samsung and KIES yesterday and just flashed JPN via ODIN. Can't believe I waited months, it's a vast improvement.

sorry to disappoint you but clicks in games are very clunky at the best...Not sure why but my first guess would be there are some fundamental differences between inputs in windows api and DirectX api.. and in many (not all) games, a single click seems to only trigger a mouse-over event and you have to double click really fast and precisely in the same position to make it registered as a mouse click.

i tried launching Mass Effect from it, and it says failed, cos it doesnt support full screen application...

another thing worth mentioning is that the mouse control(or touchpad) is very awkward to use... it's the same control as android, right click = back, where the actual Windows right click = Hold Left Click..

also, the stream is rather laggy, i tried watching video on it.. it's not smooth, i guess it streams less then 24 fps then.. not yet practical, but got its potential, do hope Asus would improve it in the future
