I am using BAMF without issues after I reset my battery stats.

I was having similar issues to some where I would lose 2% within a half hour of unplugging my Tbolt, and then be down to 10% remaining after 12 hours with light use!

I am rooted, so I don't know if there is a way to do this stock, but I recently did this which has drastically improved battery life to where I am down to only 82% after 6 hours of moderate use (calls, Angry Birds, YouTube).

Fully charge your phone

While still on the charger, I rebooted into recovery and reset/wiped my battery stats

Used the phone heavily to get it almost dead

When the phone auto shuts off near death, I booted into recovery

Leave phone alone to fully die as recovery leaves the screen on and doesn't turn off

After phone dies, fully charge again before use

After doing this, my battery life was greatly improved. Nothing else changed.
[Thunderbolt General] ocbooger:
I get terrible battery life with Bamf as well. Just rooted about a month ago and have only tried two roms. Bamf and currently tuning Synergy

How is syenery battery life
[Thunderbolt General] ocbooger:
A lot better than stock and Bamf. I'm a pretty heavy user and was only getting maybe 8 hours... Getting around 12 -14 now. Had Pandora going for about 3 hours straight this morning off full charge and still had 70%.
[Thunderbolt General] sonami:
This is with heavy usage, online in forums and dl stuff for about 5 or 6 of the 8 hours. Running gingeritis 3d beta 6, chingys new radio and ziggys kernel

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
I would normally coordinate this with some of the devs on IRC but I don't have access to it at the moment.

Obviously a lot of work is going into a Gingerbread kernel bringup from the posted Samsung sources, and last I heard on IRC before leaving my house was that some devs were having issues getting kernels to boot.

Now, the chip on our phones that handles USB has a UART mode, where the data pins on the USB connector get routed to a serial port instead of to USB.

I have a bunch of MicroUSB breakout adapters on order from Sparkfun now (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10031) and will be picking up a few 150k precision resistors (150k is the value for UART mode) on Saturday most likely.

My questions:

1) Will this be useful to the other kernel devs for debugging?

2) Do our kernels even output anything to the serial port that the FSA9280 routes to, or is this bootloader-only?

Obviously the specific answer for our device is unknown since I don't think anyone has tried it, but has putting a 150k resistor on ID resulted in being able to get the kernel console on the serial port on GalaxyS devices? If it works on them it should work on ours.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
No clue unless you try. ;-) Would make things easier if the kernel did get compiled with serial console though I would imagine.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
I'll start working this once the parts arrive - will see how the Froyo kernels behave then we can try to migrate it to GB if anyone is still having issues then.

Of course it could all become OBE.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trouzzermouse:
Ithink it would be pretty cool if you could break out to a proprietary apple connector. house it so you can adapt to any music dock that normally uses an ipod or iphone. That way we have integrated power and music out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
adam outler used the uart in a project and was hoping to find a way to unbrick without a jtag even with bad bootloaders. i have an arduino board like the one he used and could build his jig, i dont know much about kernels or c programming but if i can help figure anything out or if adams work (i havent kept up) was successful and we want an unbrick service for botched bootloaders and param.ifs let me know.

Please i would appreciate help for senior users on this site as there are lot of changes i want in my phone

Thanks,

appreciate your help

[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
AlphaRevX probably won't work with that software version - it only works with certain versions and I don't think yours is one of them. You need to create a Goldcard, install version 2.12.405.7 (or one of the other ones that is confirmed as working) with one of the RUUs in the Android Development section of this forum, and then you can get S-OFF.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Yes, same issue with most Indian/Asian models.

as doctorsax states above, you will need to create a gold card, install the optus rom and then continue with S-OFFing.

it will work

The version I specified was the WWE release rather than the Optus one, but yeah, that works fine too!

Hi everyone. i have screen issues on my defy. it sometimes selects things by itself. for example Im writing sms and suddenly it starts to write alone when i dont touch the screen. it repeats the letter so its always in the same place. I turn off the screen and when i turn it on again its solved.

I have nordic and cm7. when i have stock foryo this didnt happen!

Does anyone knows about this?? has someone experience this?? anyone knows how to solve this???

Sorry for my poor english!

Thanks for the help!

It happened to me when I was using the Chinese Froyo 2.2.1 when the USB was connected with a slightly loose connection.

Anyways it seems to have gotten better when I flahsed it to CM 7.1 rc1 v1
[Defy General] ginnnts:
Yeah! I'm having the same issue! It occurred to me that it only happens when i touch screen with greasy fingers... somehow it messes up capacitive screen!

I had this problem since i bought Defy on 2.1, 2.2, CM7, so i guess it's hardware (or my hand :D ) related!

I ordered screen protectors from ebay... maybe it will solve a problem... will see...
[Defy General] nameite:
Greasy or wet fingers...but just switch off the screen and back then its fine again.

Basically I'm in need of some advice. I have the HD2 currently running NAND android. I am sending my phone in for replacement as my usb port has a short in it which won't allow it to charge unless being held at a certain angle. I am trying to, in a nutshell, revert the changes I have made to the phone and get it back to stock. Using this tutorial http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/22/how-to-get-the-htc-hd2-back-to-stock/ it says to download the original rom and then install it, however I don't have the ability to get windows device center going to be able to run the RUU. Anyone have any advice?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rick_1995:
Download the stock rom, extract it using winzip or winrar, take the file named RUU_signed.nbh or similar and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh

now take a microsd card which is <= 8GB and place it on that, put it in phone, boot into bootloader, press power key.

Also, please take care of which forums you post in. You wouldn't want to get flamed and cursed upon by some total stranger for no apparent reason.

Great, thank you for your help. Ended up getting it all back to normal and shipped out. Sorry about the post location, I wasn't too sure where it should have gone so I just posted in the location of where the phone was currently (NAND rom). Thanks again!

Try Villain Rom. Once you've installed, there are tweaks to prevent either the home or power buttons from waking the phone. That's the only way I know at the moment:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RDionysus:
nonpaq,

Thanks so much for getting back to us. I was anxiously waiting (and I know quite a few other people as well!) for some guidance on this. I know in principle it's "easy" as far as phone fixes go, but still I was looking for a bit of extra detail especially since a number of other teardown-guides and open-phone tinkerings here on XDA have some inconsistencies and, occasionally, outright false information. But mainly I was interested in more detail because the problem you had (and subsequently fixed) sounds EXACTLY like the problem I'm having.

Anyway, I am cautiously optimistic that with these minor adjustments I can save my beloved HD2 from oblivion. You are the man for even posting your experiences in the first place (even if you didn't do the rest of us an extra solid by posting the long-awaited follow-up)! I can't wait to dive in tonight!!!!! I'll be back to post any results (good or bad) when I'm done....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
I'm not sure how much more detail I can provide, I suppied a link to the official disassembly video, and provided pictures of what you are looking for inside.

It actally is very easy. Just take off the battery cover, take out the battert, SIM card, and SD card. Remove the four screws on the back, use a flat plastic edged tool to separate the casing from the front sceen assembly, Look for the coppper "feet" that stick up and make sure they are all the same height, Lift up any that look to low, Reassemble, Thats it.

All I know is this fixed my reception problems. Most likely on of those "feet" was not making enough pressure for a solid connection to the antenna,

I hope this helps.

By the way, mine is the US T-Mobile version of the HD2. I dont know if the Euro HD2 is the same.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RDionysus:
nonpaq,

Just wanted to clarify in case you misunderstood my previous post. Any extra "detail" wished for or referred to was in relation to your original post, in the other thread. As I said previously, I think you did a great job with the level of detail put into the latest (updated) post, and I for one don't think any more is necessary at this point:):)

As soon as I have a couple hours where I won't be disturbed, I'm going to be trying it out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
No problem. I posted to the other thread a link to here, so I hope anyone following that one will find the answer here. Let me know if this solves your problem also, because I'd like to post something on the regular HD2 forum as I'm sure there may be some Windows Mobile folk who might also have this problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] firemanj79:
Has anyone done this yet. I'm going to can't find a tool to do this yet errrrrr
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
which tool... the screwdriver or the fllat tool? The screwdriver is a torx 6, and can be found in stores like radio shack or good elecronics store. Even some hardware store sell them as precision screwdrivers. THe flat tool is nothing. I actually was able to remove the cover without it. You can also get the these on ebay.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BullGawd:
I just did it about 20 minutes ago. Still have crappy coverage no matter what ROM or radio I load.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
im not saying that what you find is wrong because im sure you seen an improvement in order to make your post here. what i do want to say is that i think this is a software issue & not a hardware issue...or maybe a combo of them both. i had 2 hd2's that as a test placed side by side, 1 with android (nand) on 1 with stock winmo 6.5. i noticed that with the winmo i had

much

better signal. the android phone only had 1-2 bars while the winmo had a steady 4 bars. well it would drop down to 3 and stay for a sec but then go back up to 4. at all times though the winmo was atleast 1 bar above the Android phone and the phone's would me right next to each other. also there is a dead zone down the street from me where i can not drive through or i will have a dropped call while. every time it drops while on Android but winmo it breaks up a little at times but i've never had a dropped call there.

if i remember correctly i could even tell when i was running sd builds that while i was on winmo i had better service & then when i would run Android from the sd it dropped a noticable amount. im not sure if other people have had the same issue but i can tell you that on 2 different htc hd's i've had the same problem. something must be shutting down to allow winmo to boot Android or maybe something with the drivers.. either way im thinking this is the root of the problem but i could be wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
I have to agree with RDioysus. Cracking open your phone should always be the last thing to try after ruling out every other possible cause. Especially if it is still under warranted. In my case i went from great reception to lousy reception after dropping the phone. Unfortunately that coincided with a new ROM flash and a day of known signal issues with TMobile in some parts, so it took me a bit longer to consider a hardware cause.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
Was there any difference in the heights of the contacts inside? When i did it there was one that was definately lower than the others. Just goes to show that this is not a sure thing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
@RDionysus

1st thing thats why i put "im not saying that what you find is wrong because im sure you seen an improvement" in the 1st sentince because im sure he did see some improvement with his phone.

2nd there is plenty of reason to post my findings as he did his especially when i also put that there might be a combination of his problem and mine. well hardware issue and/or software

3rd you tell me not to discuse winmo vs android and you top on it yourself so i feel thats quite a hypocriticaly thing to do

4th the testing your refering to i did. not only with the 2 hd2s i have but also several other phones. i dont just have the 2 i have 5. a tp2 winmo better reception, a mytouch 3gs not as great as stock hd2 or tp2, and a g1 which had ok reception but still not great. yes yes im aware different phones will get different reception but i still used for my testing rooted & unrooted phones with numerous changes in radio (a lot more then a small 20 roms..more like 50 over the past year, different kernals, both sd & android nand builds, clk & magldr, all tested over several months...not just a couple hours or days which led me to believe that a winmo phone (

on average

) tends to gets better signal then a android phone. really not a big deal to me though considering i much rather android over winmo anyway.

lastly i like to give some advise myself. im not sure if you like things 1 sided or your just the person who always likes to put his two cents in but my post was valid and contained information that i was posting of what i experianced in my use of this device. i kept it short and sweet to the point as much as posible which you gave 6 paragraphs....which i feel is rather odd for someone so concerned in keeping the clutter down on XDA.

in summary i would agree with that the radio, rom etc etc will give different reception issues whether good or bad but dont tell me what i have to say aint worth posting. some people have found my help rather informative and useful otherwise i wouldn't have any "thanks." i really feel its people like you who have to be negative on this site that yeah it has its place and time but truly come on now..to some "

at times

" it really just comes off smug and rude for no reason.

hd2 android ROM sourse i used to gather Android builds found here

the best way to tell if this will work for you and really the most effective way is to go to settings/about phone/network & take a look at the signal strengh. i would suggest to leave it in 1 spot for an hour and every 10 mins check and right down the number under signal strength. average them together. then do what was listed in the 1st post and follow this again. im thinking you should seem some improvement because nonpaq was able to get some but it might be so small is hard to notice unless you get a average base line before and after.

Did this to my hd2, great signal now!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thonthar:
you saved me leo, thank You!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nonpaq:
So thats two others who have done this and have seen a signal improvement and one who did not.

By the way, when I saw a signal improvement it was with everything else the same. I checked before "the operation" and immediately after. I dont need to compare WinMo to Android signal strength because thats not the issue. I'm talking Android before and the same android after, at the same location.

Plus two identical phones running the identical OS, side by side, one showing good signal the other not, would indicate a hardware issue with the bad one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
you know im not really sure why everyone thinks im saying its for sure an android over winmo bla bla type thing. the 1st sentence says im sure you had some benifit from doing this or how ever i worded it so thats clearly me saying its worth a try. if i thought it was a bunch of b.s. i wouldn't of said i was sure you seen better signal.

To spell it out for everyone that thinks im knocking winmo or android or what ever the case is i definitely can see how this could help someone but only with certain circumstances. i think if you've dropped your phone at some point (which most of us have) this fix really would likely be the best fix for you. when you drop your phone it will jar things around inside causing the connectors to possibly bend or misalign. straightening them out again seems like the obvious thing to do. BUT in doing so you will void your warranty on a possibility of fixing a signal problem. many other things should be checked first. i did see other people comment that this should be the very last thing & everything else should be exhasted 1st so kudos to them. that really is good advise.

again i was only pointing out MY experience with signal problems since i've had many issues with it and what i thought "ONE" of the causes "COULD" be based on my indepth personal testing of several phones. so in recap im saying yes this could work for some people & at no point did i knock or tell anyone not to try this method. reception isnt just radio, hardware, software, model etc but also other things you may not think about like electrical interferance, the way it passes through a building, and the list goes on and on.

here is a easy test anyone can do: walk toward a window or even better yet go outside. if your cell reception goes up a little then "in part" your house, apt may be at fault for the way it passes through it. Some types of construction are worse than others. concrete has "rebar" inside, which interferes with the signal. Stucco walls typically have wire mesh inside them, which also is a problem. Aluminum siding, of course, is self-explanatory. If you have no obvious construction-related issues, you probably are getting interference from something within the house.

If you've ruled out everything listed above

and you

dont mind voiding your warranty

then i would suggest doing this because it very well could be the only fix to solve your problem.

i used a small excert from google about cell phone signal problems found here as well as another useful page found here.
