I've done that, and no luck =\ Rather upsetting. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Usually a reboot fixes it for a while, and then it comes back. I have no idea on what to do =S

The worst is that I don't receive the SMS. Weird, weird bug.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Sorry to hear that didn't help. If you are saying that you know the SMS is not being received then it must be a network issue. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] uwo83m:
I am using this Rom from the first day since version 3.6.

I used to have the same issue with sms on 3.6 so it was unusable for me and i had to use for a while ICS from SD.

Than i updated to 3.7 on the day of release and didn't have that issue till today and i am really very happy with the Rom.

Today my girlfriend sent me many SMSes but the last one didn't arrive.

After a few minutes i came home and i let her send me one more sms to check and this time everything was normal :confused:

At that time when i didn't receive the sms i only had 6 % battery.

Can this be somehow the reason?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
That'd then hint towards problems with the SD as both playing media as well as browsing accesses the card with multiple reads at a time. This can also vary from release to release as there are occasional changes to how the ROM handles the SD.

I might actually try Dalvik Mover before switching back to WP7 and Ansar's new ROM.

Regarding SMS-Prob: i remember now that yesterday i had something like it. I blamed it on another prog though. I got DesktopSMS setup now (some Java PC App, that allows SMS being send from PC via the phone, requires a little server on the phone). When i sent an SMS, it worked, then i sent some more and today i discovered that one of them wasn't sent.

Then i had to do a transaction on my bank-account and i use a process called SMS-TAN where that transaction ID Number is delivered via SMS and one of those Numbers did never arrive. I thought its the System as it was at main business time and i thought the system might have high load but all this could actually be unreliable SMS service on my phone too.

So maybe there actually is something after all? There seems to be more than one person experiencing this odd behaviour.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] brush2:
Backup your ROM

Hi guys,

since i've started on developing DalvikMover i kicked my Android as hell.

There were dozens of reboots, at least one dozen unsuccessfully.

It had FC and hot reboots - so all stuff you don't want to dream on.

The more i worked on DavikMover i noticed that it became harder and harder to get a data connection.

When i tried to use the Browser, the data connection was mostly gone or dropped for no reason.

While following this Thread the last days i noticed alot of posts concerning similar issues, but even absolute different ones.

So i thought, why not restoring the CWM Backup which i made after i flashed v.3.7.

After restoring and restarting my device, i had a much more stable data connection.

I think that either SD card's memory or even NAND memory might become erroneous over time.

It does not always mean that it's defective physically, if you're lucky we're just talking about filesystem corruption.

In Forum can find alot of stuff about Bad Blocks, filesystem corruption or corrupted downloaded ROM's.

For this reason people provide their zip or apk files verified by MD5 keys, even CWM verifies Backups this way.

So now you start asking me, how come that even if your downloaded ROM's MD5 key was correct but your flashing went wrong?

I know, the most of you guys trying to flash a given ROM more than once, if the first installation fails.

If it works on the second shot, you would swear to high heaven that you did exactly the same when installing firstly.

It seems it doesn't matter if your backup it sector or file based.

Your Backup only should be fully functional and at best stored externally (not on SD card) until you need it.

Be patient and give it a second shot, if it does not work immediately.

Please don't blame a Chef, since there are most likely hundreds of guys which never had noticed your issues.

Even if 5 or 10 guys are affected by almost the same issue, it does not mean that a ROM is defective; until this is proved it's caused by the ROM.

Regards, Stephan

Btw.: Sorry for my English - i hope you'll get what i wanted to say :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OwenHD2:
thanks i will do a full wipe again lol and use the settings you told me, it really is a great ROM thats why I dont wanna give up on it :D I'll keep you guys posted
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Good deal man. Hope this works for you. One day Ill change up my partition. Maybe if there is a v3.8 I will redo everything. Keep at it man. Let us know how it goes.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RCOO:
Same problem. Happens to me even if the battery is fully changed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] joaopalmeira09:
Some FC issues...

Hi guys!!

After using Titanium to remove some apps (facebook, facebook chat, twiter, sound hound and flickr) I'm having some random FC issues.

it's not a specific app nor on a proper moment, it just happens...

i had FC on phone app, camera, settings, messages... when the FC notif appears the only way to put it working is by rebooting the hd2... think i´ll flash the rom again and try to figure out if it's related to the uninstall of the apps... :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Sounds like you uninstalled something you shouldn't have. Try re-installing one at a time to identify what is causing the problem. If you provide a list of items that you uninstalled perhaps we can help. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SagaPer:
Hi, I installed DalvikMover on my HD2 EU phone. Now I do not need it. How do I uninstall? I can't find the app in the list of AppRemover or in Titanium Backup app list...

EDIT: Found it in installed app list (Settings, Applications). It's called TBD DalvikMover...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
After my post on battery issues yesterday I reduced the oc to 998 default, charged it up, killed all background apps and put the phone beside my bed, left wifi on and cell data. Went to sleep myself.

When I got up 5 hours later the battery was down to 80%. Is that normal? I find this a very high drain actually...

[EDIT]

Just to let you guys know: i dropped the hosting of the Torrents for 3.4 and 3.5 Releases, they are not being downloaded much anymore and just cluttering up my Client.

Other than i actually thought i should do, i might change over to a policy of just running one release for a month or so. If you guys still want to download any of the old releases, fall back onto the standard mirrors please. I think the Torrents are very cool to balance the load on new Releases and make it possible to grant good speed for most users but are not necessary for long storage. Torrent was originally developed for load balancing and i think that is, what it makes most sense for.

The Torrent-Files will still be in my MediaFire account though. So if there are any seeders left you may still download from them. I will only drop the Seeding with my line after roughly a month or so. Or if i notice that a torrent is hardly ever active i might also take it out earlier.

Basic torrent rule should be followed though: Last one who takes keeps seeding it for a reasonable time at least, so it doesn't die too soon.

Thank you.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Does sound high. Mind you, I always put wifi to sleep after 15 mins and with this I lose about 8% in 8 hours maximum. It should go into deep sleep quite quickly. I suggest you do another test with battery at 100% then in the morning check with CPU Spy to ensure that it went to deep sleep (reset all timers before leaving overnight). ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
My man that is not normal. I do almost the same thing everynight. I just don't kill any apps when I go to bed. I turn on the wifi and go to sleep. My battery starts out at 100% and 7 hours later when I get up I'm normally at 93%. I've been doing this for 2 weeks now and I average 1% loss per hour. This also happens when I don't have wifi on and just leave mobile data on. I keep auto sync off, weather to manual and auto update apps to off. My sleep is set to 384mhz smartassv2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Nah mate. Can't be arsed tbh.

I'm rather sick of all this by now, have to work the full weekend from early till late, no off-time. So who gives a damn about it. Will soon switch back to WP7 again anyhow.

I pretty much imagine where the drain comes from: messing with the ROM too much, too many things not setup properly etc. Why hunt for bugs i set out myself?

But thanks for the hint at CPUspy. don't know it but will check it out some other day...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Well good luck, Sneaky. Sorry to hear that you are possibly giving up on Android. Personally, I don't like WP7 but every man to his own, eh! :D

Try not to work too hard. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
it's just the fact that i found myself putting my mobile aside when it had WP7 on it. There simply was no need to stare at the screen and check for millions of things all the time to make sure the alarm would REALY go off and the Speaker would REALLY be quiet when at work and and and and...

It just worked. Bit boring but it did its job, and that very well. Just some **** that put me off at the end like the speaker being way to quiet and BT giving freezes and such. It's very slick and simple. Work-oriented, not as much a toy/eye candy as Android tries to be.

But i do in fact like the massive possibilities Android offers and i do miss that each time i change the OS. So will most likely be back here too some time. ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
I hear what you are saying, Sneaky! Strangely enough, since installing v3.7 and setting up exactly as I like it, particularly with Davlik on NAND, I find that it is working so well that I can actually leave the tinkering alone. Feels like a native Android and just works now (perhaps I'm lucky!).

Look forward to seeing your wry comments in the future when you are bored and have time to play again. :D:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SagaPer:
This is what I experience too. Battery drain 1% per hour during night time and weekend standby. OC 1152 (384) SmartassV2. Everything works fast and smooth. The HD2 is my daily business phone.

PS: Now with FolderSync app (free edition) for autosync with SkyDrive (via Wi-Fi). Phone now syncs my DCIM folder, clockworkmod folder, MyBackup folder and Titanium backup folder. I feel a bit safe now...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
what skydrive did you get

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SagaPer:
Microsoft SkyDrive. Got 25Gb free. Had my Live ID for a long time...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
ok cool thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Seems we have the same settings. It's great this way. I'm going to look into that FolderSync app. I usually just prefer to do all syncing manually. Cheers mate.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

So from reading this Sneakyghost what is the big draw to WP7??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Bummer, I just signed in and as a "new" user only get 7Gb. :mad: Microsoft dropped it when Google announced that they would offer 5Gb free on Google Drive. Mind you can't upload files larger than 300Mb on Skydrive whilst you can on Dropbox so will stick with that for the moment. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
found it

i only got 7 also
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
lol. Mind you, if you want more then Microsoft look to be the cheapest...... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OwenHD2:
done with the wipe and used the settings you provided but still have that data issue not turning on after using wifi :confused: I tried turning on airplane mode and switching it off but still no luck :( but everything else is running great
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chris_ah1:
Can you run this off the sdcard without flashing?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Gosh darn it. I was hoping that would clear it up. I don't what else you can try. Is your mobile data settings set up correctly?? I'm out of ideas mate.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Mate, i am aware that i went off topic first but id recommend to not further discuss this here as i am rather sure Dan feels hurt if we do :D

If you have serious questions regarding WP7 and my Opinion on it you are more than welcome to either ask me via PM or if you feel the urge to have it exposed to the public come over to either Cotullas, HD2owner's or Ansar's Threads in the HD2 WP7 Section.

Thanks for your understanding.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Copy that brother.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] theimmortalone:
So here is my issue... I've tried to install this Rom and CoreDroid, and every time I try to install the roms in recovery my phone just reboots on me. My guess would be that I have bad blocks because I can't even install Windows Mobile anymore.. Am I pretty screwed? I have a few roms I'veactually been able to install..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OwenHD2:
yeah maybe i should delete all the preloaded APNs and set up my own. same here thats the last thing i could think of lol, ill keep you posted again :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ccbm3:
Have you tried to perform a clean install? Task29>radio flash>magldr>wipe phone from magldr>flash cwm>wipe phone from cwm>format sd card>flash ROM?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] theimmortalone:
Yeah I've tried doing it several times... Just makes no sense... :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ccbm3:
If you'd like to test for bad blocks. In cwm go into advanced and go to report error. It should give you a file in your sd card under the folder clockwork mod. You can read it in order to see if it says you have bad blocks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Very good tipp i didn't know that function. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'd also recommend that you (theimmortalone) read up my procedure on cleaning and flashing the NAND chip by means of MTTY and LEOAdvancedRUU, as that covers a huge Area of the NAND Chip (nearly full chip, only IPL and SPL are not cleared).

Doing the Task29 on MTTY has the major advantage of telling you about bad blocks right in your face. And it also sets up the FileSystem around those bad blocks anew.

You have to know this (i actually just wrote the same somewhere): Bad Blocks do not interfere with the normal operation as much as people tend to think. This is, because the Memory Controller takes care of them by itself and redirects calls for the bad addresses to spare/reserve addresses. This is happening on the lowest possible level, underneath filesystem even. So, to give you an example: my phone has 3 bad blocks, 2 of them in the OS section, 1, which is really rough once the phone is bricked, sits in the SPL region. I had my phone bricked and revived by jTag and it was kinda hard to get it to operate normally again but now it is more reliable than my HD2 with the good Hynix NAND was. That one didn't have any bad blocks.

So, i think BB's are a problem if they occur fresh, inside an installed system. But as soon as you have the phone task29'ed after a new bad block comes up, it should be working ok again. Unless you have like hundreds of bad blocks. Then i'd consider selling the phone to some dude who can at least use it for spares...

So, i think you should try to recover, wipe, clean the NAND with the method described in my doc and then try to flash WinMo again after and then if that works try to partition the NAND with Magloader and Recovery again, see if that works...

i have to go to work now but i am kinda interested in your issue as i find it hard to imagine what that actually is so i will come back and read your reply (hope you do reply) once you've tried the recommendations from ccbm and me.

cyas later...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sathara:
which recovery you using .. change it to ext4 ... that it will work ..

edit - i had this reboot issue when flashing urdroid rom with ext 4 recovery . when i change it to earlier version its working .
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
I can't quite remember if this is what I used many moons ago but if your brave enough to try out new APNs try an app called APN Configurater by CTH. Man I hope you get this solved.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Interesting observation, yet it still doesn't explain why he wasn't able to flash WinMo 6 on it...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] OwenHD2:
I think it did the trick, well so far so good :D it connects right after i turn off wifi now, well i sorta memorized the APN settings for Tmobile cause I have flashed so many ROMs and done countless reflashing loll
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Goodness gracious that took alot. I hope it keeps working and you can enjoy this ROM to the fullest.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RCOO:
I think I found the source of the SMS/notifications problem.

I'm using this theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1549580&page=9

If I stop receiving SMS (and have that skin applied), and I apply the normal one, everything gets fixed. I don't know if this is related to the skin itself or the fact that HTC Sense has to restart to switch the themes...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Well, after all that, we find out that you are using a theme designed for the Sensation and not specifically for Dan's ROM. No wonder you have been having problems.

In future, if you need help then you must include all information that may be relevant. The assumption will always be that you are using the latest build release and either the stock or the themed version. People can only help if you help them!!! :mad:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] theimmortalone:
So my hd2 isn't recognized by that mtty program you told me about Sneaky.. do I have to have certain drivers installed?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about this. As Sneaky himself states, the memory controller is designed to ensure that any bad blocks do not become fatal. I have lost count on the number of times I have flashed my phone, both with WM and Android ROMs and never found the need to determine if I have bad blocks. Generally any failures that I have experienced have been due to corruptions on the SD Card.

So to try to help you to flash the ROM successfully, can you confirm what you have done to date. For example:

1. Have you successfully flashed magldr?

2. Have you created an sd-ext on your SD Card via CWM? Don't worry about trying to create an ext4 partition as this will be done as part of the install. I am assuming you have an EU device.

3. What radio do you have installed?

4. What Partition did you use?

Once you answer the above then perhaps we can help further. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SagaPer:
I'm still here with my HD2 and TBD stock version 3.7

I'm still here with my HTC HD2 EU version and TBD stock version 3.7 (kernel 0.2.1). The glorious HD2 is my daily business phone and acts like a good companion. Fast, smooth, no lag, no freeze, decent battery life. Now with the app FolderSync to automatically sync backup data to Google Drive.

What more can I ask for..?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] davinci2007:
Hi all

i have a little Problem. Native wifi tether doesn't work. I know. But the app barnacle wifi doesn't work too. :mad:

What is the issue?

When i use cm7 Roms then no Problem with both.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] imagin112:
Where is Dan ? :eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ccbm3:
Use WiFi tether beta.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] davinci2007:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] davinci2007:
Thanks...it works right now.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Depends. The Programm runs with the ActiveSync Drivers (needed for low level access, doesn't matter what OS you run on the phone). If you have a x64 edition of Windows you will need to instal fixed up drivers and a run windows in TestMode to have it swallow those unsigned drivers. Its quite easy once you got the Idea. I've set up a driver package including the Tool to set Windows to TestMode. The Drivers are called Eugenia Drivers and can be found in my MediaFire. But make sure you only try them on x64. For x86 you only need to install the WMDC (or find the drivers somewhere separately- i don't have them).

Oh and before i forget: obviously, you need to set your phone to SPL mode (tricolor screen) first before trying. Just saying... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OwenHD2:
ahk unfortunately the problem came back :( im out of options now... i have no idea why data wont turn on after turning wifi off, I noticed that the problem only occurs when im connected via wifi for around half an hour or longer :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Mate, i have had that on many ROM versions, including this current one. I don't really understand what causes this.

Are you on CLK or Magloader? Because CLK has more problems with Data switching.

It used to be a big issue anyhow but Dan actually said it's been fixed long ago.

Could be, that he's got some idea but for some reason he isn't showing up these days...

[EDIT]

I just skipped through the competitor's thread and noticed people have Data problems there too. Seems to be a Sense-ROM issue somehow as many Sense ROM's seem to suffer from this since long. Maybe that is because they all steal from Dan :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fromaron:
I noticed if I am in the poor reception area for longer than half an hour and then go to the better reception area the mobile data doesn't come on straight away. Give it some time, in some cases I need to wait for almost an hour before it comes back.

It doesn't look to me as the ROM issue at all. Rom is trying to turn the data On but for some reason it is not responding instantaneously.

And the 3.7 version is perfect in a sense the sense can be :).

Dan you've achieved the perfection there, I wish we can get the kernel small problems sorted out and HD2 will be again the best device on the market.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
This is strange as the only time I had problems with data was when I forgot to renew my contract :D Seriously, though, the data switching problems that everyone had issues with I thought were resolved some time ago. Sorry I can't help but I just never experience this and have not for some time now. Wonder if it is carrier specific. Just a thought.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
in fact, i only have EDGE here and it is rather bad (although the Tower is only 4 Km off only and in line of sight! i can actually see it!).

When i go to the next 3G covered area (e.g Major City) next time i will check on 3G / HSDPA again but i think i remember that i never had to wait for data to build up in town.

I always thought that was down to no previous WiFi connection but i might be wrong. It might just have been the 20 Minute drive from a low signal area to a better covered area that normalized it again.

So, after all, the Data Switching bug might only apply for EDGE or GPRS then? Possible?
