[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hanlence:
hi, not 3G user, wifi is my only choice. but there is something,

if we put the phone to sleep with the wifi is connected, the wifi will just automatically turn off after a certain time. is there any modification that could have the wifi on all the time?

edit:

i think i figured it out, it just under the advance setting in the wifi seeting page (press the menu button)

i just set it, and will see how fast it drain my battery.

edit:

tested, and it is not that fast draining, 8+ hours drained 7%, not bad, i think i can keep it on and on, cheer

btw, i am using langthang's NDT CM v16, impressive works, thanks him
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
Not sure why you want to have WiFi on all the time. It will deplete your battery very quickly on standby. Like you, I did not subscribe to a data plan. So I chose a NAND ROM that quickly turns WiFi on and off automatically with the phone. I am using Tytung's Nexus HD2 v3.0 ROM. WiFi quickly turns on when I turn the phone on and off when I put the phone in standby. I would suggest trying a ROM you like that has the same functionality for controlling WiFi. I think most of the ROMs are this way to save battery power rather than having WiFi or worse, GPS on all the time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hanlence:
i am using textfree, it won't receive any message while the wifi is off, so i need it on all the time
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] montecarlo5:
goto settings/ wireless & networks/ wifi settings/ push menu button and select advanced/ wifi sleep policy/ and select your choice,,

edit : guess i should have read your post better,,, you already found it...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
I also have TextFree and have my WiFi sleep policy at When screen turns off. I just had my wife text me with my phone in standby and it received and notified me of the text's arrival. I never had my WiFi on all the time in order for TextFree to still work. So I am wondering could it be due to us using different ROMs and their capabilities? Looks like you don't have a large battery drain even with the WiFi on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Afromullet:
I changed from the stock OS of my HD2 to hyperdroid, but I have two problems.

1) When I miss a call, it is only shown in the history if my phone was on at the time or had reception. Strangely, if someone sends a text to my phone while it is off, I receive it once my phone has been turned on again. Even if it does not shown a missed call under those circumstances, I can still receive voicemails from them.

2) There are no options in the original contacts section to add/remove/important so on. I installed the hotfix from the Hyperdroid yet it still does not work. An app for another contact list works, but the original one does not.

Can anyone please help me with those issues?

Thank you for the time.

#1 is by design. That is how GSM works. Calls you miss when the phone is off or out of coverage area can be notified as SMS alerts, but only if the network provider supports that feature.

I don't use the ROM you have, so can't help on #2...

Swyped from my HTC HD2 running CM7 (Gingerbread 2.3.5)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sjnyce:
Same problem

My problem is that I can't receive any calls what so ever.

I have been using this ROM for only 2 days and my call log shows that there has been incoming calls but the phone simply sends them directly to voice-mail.

is the a fix or tweak for this?

Please S.O.S!!!!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
Alright guys, totally lost here. I recently learned how to mod the ring on hybrid sense roms, and now all of my non Dinc friends want the same thing. How would I go about changing the image in agilelock to something I choose? I can find the image, and edit it with Gimp, reload it back into the Apk. Sign it, it will download to my phone, but says not installed. I am using 7 zip, Gimp and a auto signer. What would be the correct steps to do this? Sorry if I am beating a dead horse, I have found multiple threads. Just didn't know which one to follow. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
If you're just editing the image inside the app, you shouldn't have to resign it. Just edit it from within the entire zip file, load it and go.

If that doesn't work, rezip the whole thing and drag the original META-INF folder into the new zip, instead of using new signatures.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
Thanks godsmacked, will be trying again this morning, will eventually get it..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
Well, I finally got it. Neither of Godsmacked's suggestions worked. Thanks again for trying to help: )... Used apk edit, and worked the first time. Now all of the other nonHTC phones can have the same loving we do. Even if it has our lockscreens, it still isn't a dinc...

Hi guys... i am in the process of installing hardspl on my phone...do i need to flash a new radio aswell????...i currently have

Rom version 3.14.206.1

Radio version 2.15.50.14

spl-3.03.0000

also when i install hard spl do i need to uninstall the current spl or does it get overwritten?????
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
no. run hspl4, choose 2,08,hspl, all ready for droid. (unless u are wanting to run sd card android, in which case you dont need hspl, only for changing the winmo rom, radio is still fine)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaz999:
Hi...yes i am wanting to run android from sd card...you said in that case i wont need hard spl??...I am still unable to boot android from sd card... i thought i HAD to have hard spl??

i installed a rom called mccm hd v6..after selecting clrad and hacket i get a white splash screen with green htc logo...nothings happening after that...i also have the latest windows rom aswell...my spl is 3.003...please help guys!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
no, only for nand android. sd android is running on top of winmo, so doesnt care about the spl.

However, ive never run sd android, im just telling you what i 'think' to be true, it wont hurt to try 2.08.hspl, BUT, since you have a regular hd2, (3.14.206.1 is o2, i think?) then setting 2.08.hspl will cause the 3.14 winmo rom to stop working properly, become unstable and report only 50 or so meg free ram, , , so if you DO want to try setting hspl, you will need to change winmo roms too. (Another reason i believe you can run sd android without 2.08.hspl is because i know people run it alongside 3.14 roms which require 3.03 spl's )

If i were you, id consider looking into the problem android is throwing, , some take aaaaaaaages first boot, for instance, when they build teh data file, and i do mean aaaaages, tens of minutes for some roms,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaz999:
ok...so how come i am unable to boot to the new android rom?...i did manage to install gingerbread by tytung a couple of weeks ago...was having problems with that...after i uninstalled it i can no longer re-install it!!!!...i have done 2 fresh installs but its not booting it up anymore...strange...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
dunno, sorry, i never got sd android to boot either, tried on maybe a dozen different occasions, a few hours each time,, and only got it to work once, and it caused me to hard reset next time i booted, cos winmo wouldnt boot, so i left it alone till nand came along. (And at that time i would have been running 2.08.hspl too,,, so it wasnt that)

perhaps you have a leftover data folder or summin, from the old instal on your sd card? i know on nand builds if you dont clear out the data from the old one it can cause failed boots.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaz999:
i have formatted the sd card a good few times!...dont know what it could be then....
[Captivate General] Nerz:
Long story short, I had to call att warranty department to get my phone replaced due to my speaker starting to go out. So when I called it in on the 8th (September), which was the last day for my warranty, I flashed back to stock, restored product code, backed up entire sd, and upgraded to official froyo. So since that time I have been on stock patiently waiting my new phone to come in. I've been on customs so long that I forgot how slow and unresponsive stock is. I remember that as I got spoiled with customs that I felt that those roms were starting to feel slow themselves and that although they're faster then stock, maybe it's more of a placebo that I really think it's that much faster then stock. Alas, I was mistaken. All in all I just want to say thank you to the devs of this great community. Being on these custom roms we sometime take for granted that your work, and although not always perfect, it is still far more superior then anything the stock experience can offer. If you don't feel this way right now, just go stock for almost a week and you'll feel my pain. :¬[

Thanks again xda devs.
[Captivate General] kisnerct:
I'm in the exact same boat; broke my captivate I got last year, almost bought an iphone (wtf was I thinking), but instead decided to call insurance and get a new captivate; amazing how big a difference the ROMs make, the stock is such sh*t (not to mention how far behind the captivate was on updates ;[ )
[Captivate General] Nerz:
Finally got my replacement in. It's a 1010 so ill miss my 1007. Oh well. Time to get rid of this 3e recovery and flash.
[Captivate General] kevalin:
God! Don't even MENTION iPhones in this company! I've spent the last several DAYS trying to get sh*t off my dad's iphone (songs and the like) so he can put them on his new Captivate.

The changes you have to go through--and programs you have to download--to be able to do what you can do with an Android just by rooting it and getting a decent file manager leaves me speechless... or at least the many words I've used would be incredibly inappropriate on a site that doesn't specialize in murder and mayhem. I've used curse words over the last three days that I didn't even know I knew. :mad:

I'm not close to be anything like a real geek, but I swear, I can't imagine why anyone would want a phone from a company that makes it so hard to adjust and take items you actually purchased off of (can you say "DRM"?). The only good news is, my Dad likes the Cappy enough that we will likely never see an iPhone in this house again.

Thank Heavens.
[Captivate General] iphone=closedsystem:
I completely agree with you, I try my best to remember on a daily basis how great-full I am for the Dev's and XDA.
[Captivate General] Nerz:
After making sure I have a way to get back to kb2 and backing up my old phone I just half an hour ago flashed miui. Good bye slow stock :). I used to stay away from this rim because I heard of bad battery. But with a galaxy s 4g 1650 mah battery I bought from a friend for 7 dollars, it's not so bad :-)
[Captivate General] popodopolus:
It is not that you didn't know that you knew them so much as you did what I do somedays. You went thru everyone that you knew and then started to join them together in new combos and when you had done every combo you could think of you started inventing new ones. Most people do that instead of running head first into a wall repeatedly or jumping into traffic. I must say both of those would be better than an iphone
[Captivate General] tygirwulf:
My husband rooted his phone, but otherwise had stock Froyo ever since he got his phone. He used to make fun of me for constantly trying new roms out. But he started getting more and more pissed off with his phone and how laggy and unstable it was, and a few weeks ago I offered to flash him a custom rom.

He uses his phone much much more, and I hear a lot fewer curse words out of his mouth now that he isn't cussing at his phone anymore. :)
[Captivate General] shorty920:
Word that homie. I would die without my roms. To me Roms are the number one biggest reason why i like android over iPhone.
[Captivate General] quick6black:
I agree with that, after I flashed cm7 and was on that for a few days. I deleted my froyo backups. No point in going back, been flashing nightlys now. Can't do that on a non-android phone

[Fascinate General] wessiide:
Anybody up for creating a mod to shorten backlight keys compatible with flashing over jt's latest kernel 0912 for vgb cm7 miui mtd etc? That would be so money! I love jt's work but cannot stand how long the lights stay on. The glitch kernel is wonderful in that respect. Thanks anyone!
[Fascinate General] spodg:
+1 Agree, I need the same! Especially irritating in dock and car dock. Button lights glowing all night long and they are too bright.
[Fascinate General] DakotaS96:
I do like this feature but I can see how that would be a battery drain if it stays on too long.
[Fascinate General] wessiide:
It seems to be a very common complaint too now that glitch has incorporated the long backlights I tried jt see if he could make a flashable mod to no avail.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcismo55:
Ok so in the BLISS beta thread there was some discussion about available RAM. To keep that thread clear of our BS i decided to post this up for us.

I do recall Tiny mentioning something in the Bliss thread about us needing to read into Android Memory Management so I took a peak using trusty old Google and didn't find too much, then again I am at work. I'm sure there is more to It than I have stumbled upon though but I didn't want us to continuing threadjacking.

Anyway, Bob was posting how he had this amount of RAM available that we thought was unheard of. Upon further investigation, I believe the app he/she is using is pulling up data from here:

While most of us have been using task manager in the notification pulldown to see this:

Those screens were taken literally less than a minute apart. Why do these figures vary so much? I have no clue.

Discuss. :cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvrcb17:
Hmmm. Weird, I am currently downloading the rom. Perhaps sense is using a different amount of RAM than the rest of the OS is.

I'm sure we will have closure on this in the next release from the developers.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Very good idea by the way. I can't actually answer why the two screenshots are different other than to assume where they get their information is obviously different as the free RAM is not going to vary that way. I actually never care about memory too much as long as the ROM runs smooth. It sounds like people are benchmarking using free RAM which is totally dependent on what apps you have running and in fact installed. Read on if you're still curious.

Let me try to summarize from what I understand. Basically from what I found by googling the Android OS does memory management different than Windows. More total RAM is definitely better in both scenarios as you can run more apps before the system has to load them to RAM. However, Android loads apps in memory at boot so having more apps could cut back on memory and I think it learns what is more popular on usage and prioritizes those. If you go killing apps, it may just reload them, using more battery than leaving them running, or they may stay stopped. I think the task manager should be used in a similar instance to Windows like if you have an app that's not responding or frozen. The lag actually stems from background processes such as reloading apps that it suspends from RAM. If you are having lag issues from low RAM (I would say around 50 MB reported in task manager though 60-70 MB could start leading to lag), I might be able to do something to assist with the lag on the kernel side. I can't promise this before the source is released. I actually don't plan new features until HTC releases source, just bugfixes if there are any (besides the unfortunate issue with USB mounting on some ROMs).

I'm aware that Sense uses more RAM and basically swap support could be added on the kernel side to allow virtual RAM and it should hopefully be smoother.

Sorry if I got too technical.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Not technical enough for me. I'll eat up as much info as you wanna dish.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Ok, we'll see. This is all from memory. Maybe I'll try again but I'm tired. I might have to do some more research.

Oh, I forgot, the Inc actually has 512 MB of RAM but about 100MB of it is dedicated to the kernel and OS processes that cannot be used by apps and such including the homescreen app. Google wasn't too helpful but this is just from my observations.

If anyone has more information please share as I'm curious why task manager is different than the RAM shown in running. I know there is a command in Linux called free that can be run from terminal emulator but it doesn't report accurately what is available for the system.

Sorry I need sleep so that's all for tonight.

As far as developers knowing, I think the CM devs would be knowledgable on this subject as they see the inner workings of Cyanogenmod and the AOSP framework so they see the source code of Android which is not available for the Sense framework.

FYI, CUViper is one of the maintainers for the Inc for Cyanogenmod so he oversees code changes for the Inc and I know he has also worked on the kernel for Cyanogenmod.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroJak:
For what it's worth - system panel reports about the same as task manager for me (around 95mb) - and my running apps screen shows a huge amount of ram free - 288mb at the moment
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcismo55:
Thank for breaking it down the best you can Tiny.

I don't have the greatest amount of computer knowledge but when I think if scarce free RAM I think that would contribute to a slow running system but I wasn't aware that Android handles memory so much differently but I guess that's why people were starting to have issues with Synergy due to the cache partition filling up with memory from apps? I read users of Synergy were having issues with the ROM becoming unstable and it was necessary to clear the cache partition in order to regain usability. I'm probably trailing off in the wrong direction though...

I did find this post in the Desire S forum under their Bliss port of a user who stated an app called Swapper really sped things up. HERE is the post.

I haven't done too much research on it but curious if anyone else does?
[Acer Iconia A500] hapid:
Hi all! My A501 16 GB had already installed Android 3.2 when I bought it. Initially I was thinking that maybe somebody updated it before I got it but now I think the tablet was factory shipped with 3.2. I followed different guides on how to downgrade to 3.0.1 or 3.1. People are reporting that they are able to downgrade after a too quick update to 3.2 without root. But on my A501 nothing seams working. I can install rooms from A500 with Android 3.0.1 and 3.1 but after the update the tablet restarts and right after starting only a red error message "Boot verified failed …" with the ACER logo in front, I consider this a bricked. Some other rooms I can't even install, the process stops before installing on the message "Booting recovery kernel image".

I am always able to repair my A501 with the available room of Android 3.2, but without downgrade I am unable to root. I am very disappointed because one week before I bought an A501 32 GB for a friend and that one was shipped with 3.0.1 and there was no problem to root it.

Currently I am convinced that my new A501 has a different boot loader which is not allowing me to downgrade or rather start another version.

Any help would be much appreciated! Within these circumstances I could buy an I-Pad also!:mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
No root is available for stock 3.2 far as I know.
[Acer Iconia A500] kshfahmy:
There is more A500 than A501 Users so I think there will a root for the 3.2 version after the official upgrade of the A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] Daver69:
I have the same problem with my A500.

I tried to get back from the Official 3.2 back to 3.1 as I need root also but now have "boot verified failed" and can't load any other roms on there, including the Chinese one that everybody was using to un-brick their A500s. :(
