[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamelKnight:
I've been having a bit of trouble with my HD2 for some time now. Sometimes it just freezes and only a hard factory reset (VolUp+Down while rebooting, then VolUp) clears the problem. Temporarily.

I've run Win6.5 mobile for a while and tried Android aswell but due to problems with booting to Android I've stuck with Win6.5.

I've already downloaded the latest firmware for my HD2 several times and installed it several times. However, every time I try to get back in to Windows, it seems I have a little less free storage space. Eventhough I don't install anything.

At the moment, the errormsg:"Your phone is running low on free storage space. Delete old or unused items to create more space." is more on then off.

I've downloaded ClearTemp 1.3.1 Final but it couldn't clear more then about 50kbits of data, which is normal since I've done a hard reset about 2 days ago.

What strikes me as odd though is that it says my free storage space is very low. For programs I've got about 130MB left, but for main only 0.3MB out of 10MB.

If I'm not mistaken that should be way more then just 10MB but I have no clue how to fix this.

Anyone able to help me out with advice?

I've searched the forum and found many answers, but none worked for me.

I've rooted HTC Desire 2.3.3. I'd like to increase the incall volume as its not loud enough for me. I'd also like to increase incall volume while making Skype call.

I tried with this app volume+ but it didn't help much.

I once had seen in the forum, replacing some sound profile files in the system partition to increase the volume. I can't find that post anymore. Can anyone help me find that tutorial again. Or if there is any other better way to increase incall volume would be great as well.

Issue I had with RC2:

-3G not functional, I didn't realize this until a few hours later when I wasn't at home enjoying my network; tested phone signal, was able to make calls, was in a bit of a cellular black hole but others on the same, and other networks, were able to access data easily,

-Restored my APN's from b/u to address 3G connectivity and at this point I lost all signal, no IMEI, phone number, etc... and would get an FC if I attempted to open the dialer, this was back at home where I have no data issues ever,

-Restored a nandroid b/u and all was good; did not try restoring EFS prior to this.

Just curious what the issue might have been; EFS corrupted (seemed to be a step wise loss), other?

And yes, at this point I realize I should learn a lot more before testing betas, etc... it's on my list ;) Other than that I was thoroughly impressed with the lulzactive governor.

Which Wakelock is taking up the resources?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olifee:
SWAP is something like a memory extension with a block device.

Normally, this means you have a second partition / big file on your linux box, and in case the RAM runs full, it is used for stuff in the memory that has not been accessed for some time.

On a mobile, you normally do not need it, so I did not miss it up to now, but for some corner cases it might be nice to have.

However, it might make sense with Kernel 3.0 (in case ICS packages this, Siyah 3.0 maybe :P), where you also have ZRAM, which means your swap space is in RAM.

This may sound stupid, but ZRAM is compressed, so less often used parts of memory are rather compressed and kept in memory instead of closing a related background app. This also works with file cache :P.

In general, using SD for SWAP is something I would not recommend for daily use because there will be many write accesses in similar regions reducing their lifetime. And it is damn slow compared to RAM :P.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athurh:
The line in config is specifically CONFIG_SWAP and it is only support for SWAP, does not mean you have to use.

With the amount of memory that have this phone, is almost never used, so do not need to worry about performance or lifetime of the SD and has the benefit of avoiding some problems if you run out of memory for some reason.

There are a parameter that controls the use of this memory in /proc/sys/vm/swappiness or with the command 'sysctl vm.swappiness'

It is a number from 0 to 100. Higher values lead to more pages being swapped, and lower values lead to more applications being kept in memory, even if they are idle.

echo 800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

There are no other files in the init.d folder, and I can't see what's resetting the value back to 120000. If I run that echo line after my phone's booted, it works fine; I just can't get the value to stick on boot. What am I doing wrong? Any leads or advice would be much appreciated.

This is normal behaviour, as long as they keep the phone only awake when you use them. In "Deep Sleep" both cores are shut down and only react to external events, like waiting incoming data, a time trigger, you pressing a button, etc. In this state they can't get any work done and since your musicplayer needs them to do something for it, it keeps a wakelock as long as it's playing music so it can play the music.

Well I moved to this kernel from Ninphetamine yesterday and the first experience was bad for me :(

I was already UV'ed on Ninpho and kept the same settings set with SetCPU with this one, but phone rebooted 3/4 times, froze twice! I was using the SmartA$$ 2 as my Main and Screen Off profile. No idea what's went wrong.

Attaching my UV settings and Screen Off profile configured with SetCPU, I really have no wish to change the UV settings as I've achieved them after a lot of effort, besides the settings I have is low compared to others, so I shouldn't bother :D

Now the thing is what profile should I use? Seems that the Smart A$$ 2 is not working for me, so should I use On Demand as Main and Smart A$$ 2 as Screen Off or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Bingo! This feels like a dirty hack, but it did the trick. Many thanks. I tried chmod 744 out of curiosity later and it failed, so something with root permissions is overriding the init.d script settings. Did you ever find out what it was?

I don't think SmartassV2 is the problem. From what I've read in the kernel thread, it seems Gokhanmoral incorporated some new Samsung code into 2.1, but the end result is that most users found they had to raise their UV up by about 50mV. FYI, my current stable voltages are:

1200 Mhz - 1275mV

1000 Mhz - 1175mV

800 Mhz - 1025mV

500 Mhz - 925mV

200 Mhz - 900mV

100 Mhz - 875mV

If you really want another governor, try lulzactive or ondemandx.

Ok for so far but what about the battery drain that normally was about 29% on v2.0 en raised to 66% on v2.11 and the fact that i didnt see these wakelocks for several hours but just a few seconds on v2.0 and the device was in deep sleep during the use of radio /musicplayer
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Thanks. Yes, you are absolutely correct.

Indeed the UV settings required for this Kernel is much higher than other. As I already spent a lot of time and effort behind finding the UV settings for mine, I am not interested in any more alteration of that.

I've also tried changing the Governor state, used OndemandX, with my UV settings, but that also froze the device.

This Kernel won't do me any favour actually :). Best of luck for others.

Sadly no. I think ghokan looked into this multiple times but didn't find anything, so it might not be kernel related. And yes, it's dirty. Had to wash my hands the first time I used that workaround :D But as long as it works...

Did you change anything else between you usage of the different kernel version (ROM, baseband, installed/updated apps)? The difference in wakelocks is indeed odd, but the reported stats under 2.1.1 seem more likely to me from what I know about this. Maybe there was an error in the statsreporting in 2.0?

sd-ext means if you've partitioned part of your sd (either internal or external) to be ext4 to serve as extra space for the system's internal space, it's a good trick for phones with smaller internal memory but it's hardly applicable to our phone so don't worry about it (2GB should be plenty) ;).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olifee:
Maybe you should do a test run without UV with this kernel.

You will notice the effect ov UVing is not that high after all, but this kernel has other changes which are effective to save power, so your runtime might improve.

If you still want to UV, a +50mV on all voltages should be fine. Siyah-kernel uses the UV-voltages in several places where non-UV-voltages are used with other kernels, so other kernels might run more stable with higher UV, but consume more power nevertheless.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

When you are in the situation that SDCARD is not mounted, try to do the following:

Open a root-terminal on your device (terminal app with su rights or SSHDROID or something like).

Make a new folder in a place where you can write to, for example:

cd /cache
mkdir mnttest

Try to mount sdcard:

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 mnttest

Note all errors that may occur now and post /attach them here or on pastebin. Also check the output of

dmesg | tail -n40

In case you do not see any errors, check whether

ls mnttest

gives you the contents of your sdcard. If yes, I do not see where the error might be...

To roll back everything we just done, please do:

cd /cache
umount mnttest
rmdir mnttest
