Nothing is cheap in the UK except talk!

I can certainly say that I consider my donation an investment in both my, & her, DHD. Having just seen the crappy offers from OrangeUK on their 4G ready Samsung GS3 LTE (come on, they are still punting out tiny 1GB data plans???? WTF?) I am skeptical that the upcoming 4GEE tariffs will offer anything better or provide significant data packages that would make switching worthwhile. As such, we're unlikely to upgrade our plan or handsets. So I'm gonna put my faith in Team Blackout to keep rocking our DHDs into the foreseeable....... If just 1 of the devs kicks back with a brewski in hand, has an epiphany & LO! v3.2 hits the streets, it will have been worthwhile IMO :cool:

BTW.. I've now reverted back to v3.1.0. I had some issues with CPU running max'd out & no deep sleep. She, on the other hand, is chuffed to bits with v3.2-(1). Grrr. It seems my DHD & her DHD are as alike as chalk & cheese. Going to smile sweetly, may even have to buy flowers, but I'm swapping handsets :silly:
[Desire HD Android Development] DeSaint2:
Well if they do ever raise the limit I would go with the hox+ or wait until the mwc and see what HTC does next year lol
[Desire HD Android Development] bobix86:
Ok, downloading the test 2, good thing i was an early bird :P and had the time to check the posts b4 i went unloading corn. Decided to test it dirty (gonna install and test as much of my favourite apps as i can) cuz the last test rom performed ultra fine (except for touchscreen which is reportedly fixed and internet pass-trough). Will test and report.
[Desire HD Android Development] Cashreedhar:
After using the beta 2 for 3 hours I am extremely happy with the performance of the ROM. Played Temple Run for a while.. Extremely smooth..a new experience.. Tried camera, HD video recording.. everything works as it should be.

Noted few things which can add some more feathers:

1. Unlock animation(weather) does not play sound.

2. Proximity sensor is not calibrated. ie. screen is on while calling. Used the third party recalibrator. I think this can be fixed

3. HTC IME white is back.. I like the black one.. xD

4. SRS is not giving the original SRS sound.. might be the problem with my headsets. Need to verify with other headset.

5. Appdrawer black background with continuous screen may look better.

No more comments.. checked almost all major things including HTC hub, youtube, HD Video playing, system permissions, calling, sound while on call (no noise noted)...... I think a great update from great team. Thanks a million.

Bug (scene HDR)

Guys who is the tester, check works...

Other firmwares freezes.
[Desire HD Android Development] Cashreedhar:
Camera app does not have panorama and hdr options.. xD

Camera app looks like GB one with self potrait option..:)
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
White is better. It's much more readable. It could be an option.
[Desire HD Android Development] bobix86:
If the weather is clear it won't play any sound. Unfortunately my weather is clear,so unable to test.

Test Report 3.2 Beta

-Installed without problems (with aroma touch working flawlessly), first boot taking longer as expected;

-Internet Pass-Trough still not working (forgot to mention that i don't have a PPP connection, still in version 3.2 alpha i

did get internet connectivity for a short period and then lost it);

-Touchscreen sensitivity working as reported;

-Major speed decrease after changing the language to serbian (not temporary but permanent), one time thing, fixed with

restart, nothing to worry about.
[Desire HD Android Development] sbryan12144:
Correct. Also if the animation isn't enabled, it won't work. I tested and its working with cloudy weather
[Desire HD Android Development] Roberto_Lim:
@Cashreedhar

Could check how well it filters background noise during calls. You would have to ask the person you are calling though.

[Desire HD Android Development] Cashreedhar:
Animation is enabled, its cloudy weather too..I can see clouds moving on unlock..but just no sound.. all volumes at high..

Edit: this time I kept my location as warzwana where its raining now..I can see animations on unlock..but no sound..
[Desire HD Android Development] bobix86:
Checked it and it's great (comming from the person i was calling).

EDIT: Wasn't in a noisy enviroment, meant my voice was clear, i'll check it in a noisy enviroment tomorrow.

EDIT: Oh well it wasn't too late so i called a friend with my tv turned on at high volume, asked him and he said my voice was fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] Cashreedhar:
Called 2 friends... No background noise or any sounds..just clear..
[Desire HD Android Development] hdorius:
Checked sound effect on weather setting maybe?just in case if u forgot :D

Did any of the testers try flashing ROM without full wipe?
[Desire HD Android Development] QD2DC:
Update will most likely require full wipe anyways. We'll probably remove the option

Test Report 3.2 Beta

-Tryed to test wi-fi hotspot for myself (as expected, turned on but wouldn't let my bro's laptop connect), the problem however is, when i turned it off it wouldn't turn my wi-fi back on, tryed again, same result (i know i probably shouldn't be posting this cause it's wi-fi hotspot related but...no excuse).

read back a few pages, all this was already tested on new betas, but to save you time, it is report as working great, as in fixed :D
[Desire HD Android Development] wilken:
Hi guys,

When will be ready the next version? Any idea?

Can't wait to test in my phone :fingers-crossed:

Cheers

[Desire HD Android Development] saru789:
cursing my stars for being out of habit of reading this thread (was busy with Jellytime),

Missed the opportunity of being one of the testers. Actually realised shortly that 3.2 beta is out which is being talked about right now, lols
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Cool, I see good reports :) Cant wait to flash mine (already backing up), as I had to do few things before the real weekend starts for me, took time. But now, it's Blackout time! ;D

Is there a fix for the microphone in apps? Some apps just give back static.
[Desire HD Android Development] da__beast:
Don't ask for ETAs - it is a big no-no on XDA!!
[Desire HD Android Development] bobix86:
Suposedly fixed in 3.2, gonna give it a try now with nds4droid (had the problem on 3.1.0), will report as soon as i test.

Test Report 3.2 Beta

-A very minor bug in Note app, when i switched language back from serbian to english it left the wellcome note in

serbian (was the note app included with the new base or?, anyway never really went that far as to using the app on a

regular basis);

-I wonder if there's any way to force photos of facebook contacts in people app to update once you load the app

(remember they all updated fine on stock gb, can't remember if it took some time like on ics roms or not).
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Whole report after full wipe of course.

- Aroma touch is PERFECT now. Keep the settings for the future use :D In 3.1 pressing next was hard as only the upper part was reacting, now it's more precise than my finger could ever do ;).

- Network location seems to work perfectly so far - I will test it further tommorow as it may be temporary again and it's important.

- SRS seems to be... hmm... slightly distorted? I'm not sure what's happening, but something seems not quite right - I have to test it very thorougly with reflashing test-1 including before I take a stand. This will take time, as I do not want to lie about it.

- SMS restoring this time was flawless (although took one minute, but it's normal with sqlite inserts)

- Anyone tested A/V? Mine works, but had no time for quality tests. But suppose it's normal :).

- Flash Player 11.1 does not allow to patch itself (a patch allowing to see "blocked" content) - with old base it was possible, but with test-1, test-2 (both), it isn't. Maybe it's newer version not compatible with patch? Just saying, ut's probably not any problem, as I do not watch flash very often :D

- Won't test the weather, as I do not want the sound, heheh ;) - ok, joking - tested - I have sound in weather app, and no sound in lockscreen... but to be honest - should there be any sound? Wouldn't be a bug to annoy the user every time he wants to unlock the phone? So I suppose weather is ok, sound when explicitly clicked, no sound on the lockscreen.

- GPS fix in 11 seconds on windy weather, may be same as before as weather matters (test-1 gave me 1 second fix, but with better weather and different place).

Hmm... cannot find new subject for testing... Rom seems to be almost flawless now except I have to thoroughly test sound and network positioning. First will be easy, but takes time, second is harder and will take more time and will be inaccurate as I cannot change test-place until monday. Stability tests along the way too (but without any over/under voltage or overclocking).

The rest will come up by itself I think if anything will (I hope not :D). So good job again guys :D.
[Desire HD Android Development] Pegajoso:
I'll be waiting for the update.

Have you tryed turning sound effects on in weather app/settings? We allready had that issue a page or so ago and it was resolved and reportedly working. And yes, there should be sound (except when weather is clear).
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
I did have sound option on. But as you say it's confirmed to be ok (which I cannot confirm, no sound at lockscreen - maybe it needs restart after ticking the sound "on"?), I do not test it further as I have to reflash few roms now to check SRS, which is more important ;).
[Desire HD Android Development] bobix86:
Just tested it, no static anymore (and since nds4droid doesn't have the issue anymore it's safe to assume other apps i heard the same static in will work too).

---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------

No need for restart as far as i'm aware. Let's just tick it as working.
[Desire HD Android Development] rdub504:
All is well, even If the battery stats wipe or recalibration does not work, I can replace the battery.thanks for all the feed back!test version 1 still going strong,though in no hurry to flash again i'm very pleased,I'm always willing!if a v3 test version update is there and ,I'm in time to grab it. :D:( it shall be done:cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] bobix86:
After wiping my battery stats i can say it feels allmost stock like, so yeah i think just wiping will do the trick.
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Ok, just checked...

SRS has the power now, but as I said, it is distorted and I do not mean the volume (it's not overdriven or something), those are distorsions like "unstable" level of the volume, but still in the range of the earpieces, so this is postprocessing product I suppose (heard even on low volume). I am not sure that the "clean" sound is completely free of the distortion, as SRS do aplify low freqs which the distortions match, and clean one do not, so it's much harder to hear. But I'm almost convinced that "dolby" has them too, and "beats" either.

I did compare this SRS with Virtuous Affinity 2.05 supplied one. Strengths are almost equal (if not perfectly equal), but the Affinity's sound is perfectly clear.

I do not know what HTC did to it, but if you magicians can do anything about it, do it. It's very frustrating.

[edit]

Ignore this section - not confirming - song is distorted.

Just found the song which is totally distorted along - I will reflash Affinity again to doublecheck that I still have correctly working hardware, but I already know, what this test will show...

If I'm right, the whole sound platform is buggy. Clean sound too, so probably SRS/Beats/Dolby are OK.

End of ignore.

[edit]

Forgot to mention - the bloody clicks... I cannot hear the clicks while hearing the song already, but still stopping the song generates high volume short click.

Those both may be connected.
[Desire HD Android Development] alpha007org:
Battery Calibration

I didn't get "nightly release" or test version so I had to re-flash 3.1.0. (drink your beers from me from last time ;))

Ohh, so much work with setting all my apps... and with the knowledge a new version is just around the corner :(

---

Anyway. Battery.

This is what I do to calibrate:

I charge over night and while cord is still connected I fire up ES File Explorer (root + writable system) then:

1. go to /

2. /data/system/

3. delete batterystats.bin

4. disconnect the cord

5. batterystats.bin file is autocreated.

6. Normal phone usage till it dies.

----

7. If you want 100% calibrated battery which is *probably* not good for the battery and frankly I don't think it is necessary then continue...

8. Wait a couple of minutes and power on your phone. Wait till it dies again.

9. Connect to charger and power on your phone.

10. When you see green light let it be on charger for an hour more.

11 Disconnect your charger and turn off your phone. Wait a couple of minutes.

12. Then connect your charger with phone OFF for about an hour.

13. With charger still connected power on your phone until it loads everything and then disconnect it from charger.

14. DONE.

WARNING: I saw reports 7-14 steps can DAMAGE YOUR BATTERY especially if you do this often.

My personal experience is that it really calibrates your battery 100% but battery doesn't last much longer. Just do steps 1 through 6 and you're done. I do that (1-6) procedure every time I flash a new ROM. "Battery Widget" gets "Real Time Estimates" (how much longer will your battery last with current usage) actually pretty accurate.

---

I see test2 is doing well. Congrats. Team gets beers from me in about two weeks time (around same time as last month). They deserve it. When HTC decided they will cancel ICS for DHD I was looking which phone to buy next. Then I came here and give BlackoutICS a chance. It was amazing. Like I got a new phone. I really really appreciate your hard work, guys - Team Blackout!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Please, do not spread not confirmed "knowledge". Google itself DID CONFIRM than batterystats.bin just saves battery usage history. It's not battery calibration related - that's what Google says. Here's one of the many links: http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer

So if I were you, I would delete this post :P (after this, I will delete the cite in mine :P)

And by the way - this rom, either in 3.1 as also in 3.2 version has great battery life and calibration, so I would rather check your battery before you destroy it completely :P

==============

Anyone willing to test audio parallel with me? I'm getting crazy, so my results are unstable :P I need confirmation of the distortions and maybe even a suggestion about the nature of those. It's very delicate, the hour is late, and I'm starting to blame myself for imagining things already :(
[Desire HD Android Development] alpha007org:
With that first half procedure (1-6) you get accurate % reading of your battery. When you flash a new rom you get battery stats of someone's else data. So that's why people are reporting strange behavior regarding battery percentage. And thats why it always settles after using the phone for a couple of days.

With 7-14 I would guess you *probably* "overcharge" your battery so it last a bit longer. Manufactures always report 100% when the battery is really at ... let's say 95% and 1% when you actually have actually 5% left. This is for safety and durability reasons. Lithium batteries don't like being "empty." So normal cycle is 5%-95%-5% and so on.

I do not know if 7-14 does anything or if it does it probably tricks the phone to cycle 3%-97%-3%-... but other people doing 7-14 a lot of times REPORTED DAMAGED battery. Search. There is a topic for this.
[Desire HD Android Development] rdub504:
Once again guys thanks,but my original post was more about how long the battery lasted after it forced closed once the stats have reached 0,and I would power back up almost up to 2hrs.anywho I don't want to over run this thread with talk of my battery issue,I can knock that out "no problem".far too much progress being made here for battery talk if its not Rom related! time to merge into another lane! Men at work In this one:thumbup:
[Desire HD Android Development] bobix86:
OK, look, i listened to music today, went trough dolby,srs,beats, heard no distortion whatsoever (maybe in srs but only with headset unplugged) with headset on, so please blame yourself, or your headset, or your shrink :P. One of you must be doing something wrong. Sounds just fine to me.
[Desire HD Android Development] ericlui:
I had try multiple sense 3.6 Rom and find that Dolby sound effect in all these Rom are differ from the experience I had in sense 3.5 roms. Seems like HTC had made some changes to the Dolby lib. Can anyone do a test and confirm this?
[Desire HD Android Development] Roberto_Lim:
SRS always seemed a bit too much for the built-in speakers. Plugged to a headset or external speakers it worked fine. Talking Sense ROM's in general. Not too surprised it is the one you pointed out as maybe having issues.

This ROM fixed camera problems about two months ago.

Not sure about the games you listed, but it does fine on Dead Space which I guess might be similar in terms of hardware stress.

A new version 3.2 is on the way (no talk of ETA's), it's on second beta. Did not try that but v3.2.0 Beta 1 was really fast. I used to think v3.1.0 fast. Stick around, I think this might be the ROM you are looking for :)

What about temple run.. as it's a bit laggy in my current rom Android Revolution HD v 7.0.4.. was run fine on my stock rom.

Also how the picture and video quality of camera in this rom?

And 720p recording works on stock app?

from my HTC Desire HD using xda app-developers app
[Desire HD Android Development] Roberto_Lim:
Sorry not much of a gamer, so you will have to wait for someone else to run that. Or download v3.1.0 an give it a go. While an update will be out one of these days, it is a weekend, and if you have time to spare :)

Stock camera works like HTC build the ROM. Picture quality is on par with the stock ROM or ARHD 6.3.3. Nothing to crow about, but its the hardware at fault there.
[Desire HD Android Development] hadi_xman:
Ok tell me the steps of installation and any necessary precaution to take during , before or after the installation..

And how much time will it take in first boot..?
[Desire HD Android Development] Roberto_Lim:
Legacy stuff

Bugs:

1. WiFi Hotspot - Not working. Listed as a work in progress (WIP).

2. "Metallic" voice during calls - Fixed in v3.2

3. VOIP not working (static) - Fixed in v3.2

4. Blackout Tweaks - Enabling the Bliss launcher results in "distorted" home screens. Hiding status bar icons may result in not being able to unhide them. Haptic feedback settings don't stick on reboot - WIP

5. Poor battery life? Some are not satisfied with battery life. The default governor of this ROM is performance.

Default HTC ROM - 1 GHz at 1200 vdd

Blackout ICS - 1 GHz at 1050 vdd

To improve battery life I recommend you change the governor to smartassV2 or ondemand. To do you can use AnTuTu CPU Master Free or No-Frills. SetCPU works, but not the XDA free version.

6. Headset buttons don't work - WIP

7. Headset does not work for voice calls - Fixed in v3.2

8. Chrome browser drawing issues - Really a Chrome issue which I have observed several ROM's.

Other issues

If you feel the UI lags selecting Supersmooth or Ultrasmooth in Blackout Tweaks makes if faster.

Old issues - FIXED

a) FM Radio - Fixed in v3.1.

b) Group SMS bug - Fixed in v3.1.

c) Long SMS - Fixed in v3.1.

d) MMS - - Fixed in v3.1.

e) Blackout shortcut on the the Quick settings menu does not work - Fixed in v3.1.

f) Lag Creep - Fixed in v3.1 by removing Andred_OC.

g) Google Maps Compass - Fixed in v3.1.

h) Occasional 3G Signal drop - Fixed in v3.1.

Issue which are device specific.

i). Proximity calibration. I need to calibrate the Proximity Sensor on my phone. I use Proximity Recalibration v. 1.10. Settings stick on reboot.

ii). GPS - Fixed with 3.2. For v3.1 use the Faster GPS fix for the DHD her on XDA.

Installation tips

1. Unresponsive touchscreen. The ROM is installed with a nice touchscreen AROMA installer. At some point in my install the touch screen became unresponsive. Not a biggie. Use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select.

2. Failed install - You must allow AROMA to do a full wipe, even if you already did a full wipe with 4Ext or CWM otherwise install will fail.

First boot... did not time it, but if you get to 10 minutes something is wrong.

Good luck.

All games compatible with DHD work flawlessly with this ROM. That's why everybody say it's fast and smooth, altough people around here don't seem to be much into games.

Are you for real ? What kind of questions are these? Go ahead and test it yourself. Quit playing for a while and flash the ROM. Or maybe would you like us to do it for you ?

Download link 3.2?
[Desire HD Android Development] Pop Tarantula:
it's currently on beta-2 ATM & only a handful of crash test dummies have it to play with (sensible). The next release is coming when devs are satisfied that sufficient progress has been made to stamp their full approval on it, not before. Sadly this does require patience & no asking for ETA's but if you read the last 2 days, it'll be worth waiting for.... :cool:
