All i'm saying is that it sounds weird to assume that to make BE work for photos on sony ICS we need DRM keys but to make the BE work for videos we don't need them :eek:! I might be wrong though, coz with such messed up software updates by sony (different people having different issues) who knows what sony is upto?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
We can put into conlusion yet! That's we'll do a poll and then we'll be able to conclude what is the cause of the BE broken in some device but not in other while both run the same firmware and hardware! My biggest concern is DRM key! I know it's weird but that's the only reason why a phone couldn't return to stock state!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Daniel_GB:
because its working fine with GB, i did downgrade my phone to GB after ics update,No problem on GB!

so how can it be hardware issue?

DRM is not for that...

as many other said,its working on movies...

its clearly a software issue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
What's i've been saying is that it is a software issue and i'm looking for the cause of broken BE in viewing pictures in some devices (Since video always run in BE in any ICS build or GB, there's no software issue for BE video). It turn out that 2 with DRM key don't have the problem with BE image, and no one with unlocked bootlooder claim to have BE image working! So what do u think abt this!

I cannot play my mp3s without one or two songs repeating over and over, before going to a new song, then the player goes back to the same repeated ones. I noticed that extra files are being created continuously in the mp3 folder. Even if I make a play list the player still manages to go back to these invader files. Is that a micro sd card or android issue. I first notice it after I install ics on my SGS I9000. Now I am JB (I9300OXADLI8). I have added some pics. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

first and foremost, do not create multiple threads for the same issue, since its against XDA rules, for which u might even get an infraction from the FSM(forum specific moderator).

now for ur issue, try clearing Data/Cache of the 'Media storage' as well as the music app, then reboot ur phone and wait some time for the 'Media scanning' to complete and then check for the duplicate file issue:)

Sorry for being a pain, but how do I go about clearing the Data/Cache of the 'Media storage' and the music app? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] sirgen:
I was able to clear Data/Cache of the 'Media storage' as well as the music app but the problem still lie. I realised that not only are files being created from one or two songs, but other mp3 files are being replaced by the same repeated ones. E.g. if I try to play another song I will hear one of the two repeated songs instead, but the info for the song that should be playing will be displayed.
[General Questions and Answers] AarSyl:
Are you deleting the files, and then clearing the cache? Clearing the cache might not necessarily delete the files that already exist.

Also, try scanning your sd card for errors on a pc. Weird things happen...
[General Questions and Answers] sirgen:
Ok I deleted everything on the sdcard formated it put the music files back on then I did the clearing of the cache. I will let you guys know later on, if the problem is solved after some test. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] sirgen:
Well I formatted the micro sdcard twice, cleared cache for storage and music app and it still happens. I have now put the music on my internal mem and the problem is not happening. So it is deffinately an sd card problem. Is the card damaged/corrupted? Can it be fixed? Or should I get a new one? EHHHHHHH

[HD2 General] imcn:
Sorry for having no perseverance but for the last 3 days solid I have been trying to upgrade my basic Win 6.5 hd2 to either Win7 or Android without success - my eyes are hurting, really.

I bricked the phone initially but realised that was my own fault by not following instructions but I rectified the problem and reinstalled the original 6,5 rom from htc.

Back to square one.

I now have managed to get the phone to MAGLDR v1.3 and it's menu shows up whenever I switch the phone on but that's as far as I've got.

The problem I seem to find is that all the easy guides I have visited give a link to the win7 rom and when I click the link I am bombarded with adverts , flashing do-dah's etc, etc to download some advert stuff and also some messages saying the file is no longer available.

I know the xda site encourages noobs to search the site for the answers but all I've found are loads and loads of complicated techno jargon that a noob can't understand.

So, can some kind person please, pretty please, give me a dummies guide to upgrade my standard hd2 to either w7 or android?

Sincerely,

Jenifer.

[HD2 General] imcn:
Hi, thank you, I got the file from zippy. Installed everything re your instructions to the point where my phone has the screen with some blue text and a top hat and cmm based recovery v 5.0.2.6

The final installation seems complicated - if you can spare the time could you walk me through it?:)

Many thanks

Jenifer

P.S. And thanks to MENGFEI for your advice also.
[HD2 General] blackmatrix64:
Final step is the easiest. Right now your HD2 does not have a operating system to run. So, you should choose a ROM (Firmware) to flash/install into HD2. Whatever ROM you seems to like from screenshots download and install it. Whenever you change your mind, you do not have to start from the beginning, but just repeat this final step with a different ROM.

I've tried I guess hundred of ROMs, and from my subjective judgment, I recommended my two favorite ROMs.

To make it even simpler, let's start with Jellybean Paranoid Android ROM, as an example, then whenever you would like to try a different ROM, follow the same instructions.

So in details, what you'll have to do is:

1. Download Android Jellybean 4.1 (Paranoid Android ported from Xylograph) from here http*:*//d-h.st/unP (remove 2 stars)

The file is "PA_leo_beta_v2.15_div2a.zip". This is the ROM.

2. Flash it.

a) Turn off your phone.

b) Remove your SD card

c) Copy the ROM (PA_leo_beta_v2.15_div2a.zip) inside the root SD card.

d) Put the SD card in the phone.

e) Boot into MAGDLR.

f) Using volume down, choose "AD Recovery" to go to the screen with top hat.

(Choose it pressing "answer button", first hard button, next to home)

g) Using volume down, go to "install zip from sdcard", then press answer button

h) In the next menu press again the answer button to select "choose zip from sdcard"

i) Using volume down and up, locate the ROM (PA_leo_beta_v2.15_div2a.zip)

j) Press answer button

k) Press again answer button

l) The installer will show, press touchscreen "Next"

m) Select using touch screen "install to NAND"

n) Press Next

o) I guess you should wait here for installation

p) At the end of installation press Finish.

q) The device will reboot itself, and the after the HTC Screen, you will see Android booting.

r) It will take several minutes, then set up your Android preferences.

Good luck.
[HD2 General] imcn:
Hi, I have downloaded and unzipped the file and I have now a folder on my desktop with 4 folders inside it - sdcard/kernel/METS-INF/system.

Erm, 'flash it'? Not exactly sure what that means. (told you I am a noob)

c) How do I copy the rom into sd card - do I put it into a card reader then plug into pc?

Thanks for your patience.
[HD2 General] blackmatrix64:
I didn't say you have to unzip it. Copy the whole file "PA_leo_beta_v2.15_div2a.zip" to SD card. I wouldn't skip an important step as unzipping if it would have been required, so just follow my steps precisely.

My bad, ignore that line. I just wanted to summarize all these steps with a name.

The whole process from a) to r) is the flashing (installation of ROM).

Exactly.

No problem.
[HD2 General] imcn:
OK, I'm nearly there. I am at a screen which asks 'Default Connection' RMNET Connection - check or leave unchecked for ppp connection(default)?

Well, at last, thanks to your help finaly got android installed. Seems to be working ok however, I have started to recharge the battery and when I switch the set off it immediately restarts without me touching any buttons. Also, whilst in camera mode a message says 'please insert sd card'

and the settings at the top screen says my sd card corrupted reformat y/n .

Other than that I will give it a try and report back.

P.S. the sd card is the 2 gig standard one that came with the phone.

Cheers

[HD2 General] mengfei:
hi Jeny,

for your SD card, it's really small in capacity & not much to move around & even the 4g i'm using for testing is sometimes not enough. Since SD cards are really cheap nowadays you can get an 8g or 16g card since HD2 supports up to 32g & some can even run those 64g ones.

this tutorial I made is really for the new users to this phone & I made as easy to follow, hope you can get your working coz this is one amazing dev phone!

[HD2 General] tleaf100:
imcn,there is a much easier,quicker,safer way of getting android onto hd2,its called sd or now native sd,no pissing about with mgldr etc.

also gives you the option to still have winmo 6·5 still on the phone and instantly available if you need to actualy have a guaranteed working phone.

i dont care what folk try and claim for our hd2,just remember,all the hardware was built to run winmo 6·5,not android and phone still runs best using 6·5,see what your battery life is like with android on your phone and if your in a dodgy signal area dont expect much more than 4 hours battery life even with a big mugen battery,android has crap radio software that appears to be about a 5 year step BACKWARD its one of the many major problems android has especialy on an old phone/cpu like ours.

android is fun to play with but somebody should have asked you first if you need a working phone at all times if you do then its much safer to go the sd card way,if you have spare phone as daily phone then fine go the mgldr way.

have tried both ways lots of times,will stick with simple sd card way for now.
[HD2 General] imcn:
Hi, thanks for your post. Would you like to expand on the sd only method? - it sounds interesting.

As for the few things I mentioned above earlier, that's all the problems that I have encountered having tested the phone all day. I don't get a great signal anyway because of my location and there doesn't appear to be any weaker signal running Android. Battery life is much the same - wasn't great with Win 6.5 if I was using the set a lot.

The handset has been very smooth and quick to respond since the upgrade( blackmatrix64 guidance) so, apart from the 'damaged sd card' thing, I am very pleased with the results so far.

I will invest in a bigger sd card tomorrow.

MENGFEI - I will read up on the info you have posted. Thanks
[HD2 General] imcn:
UPDATE.

I thought I'd post an update as to how my hd2 is performing since installing JellyBean Android.

The corrupted memory card was replaced with a 16gb sd (that's all I could get at the time) and this has sorted out the camera problem and everything seems ok now.

The battery life is similar to the old Windows 6.5 os and the set is very smooth and works a treat.

Phone signal is not the best but I live in a bad reception area so I can't say it's got any worse.

All in all I'm glad I installed Android - It's like a new handset without the cost.

Many thanks to blackmatrix04 for his patience and for taking his time to explain the installation process to a dummy!

Also, thanks to the other posters for their input as well.

[HD2 General] blackmatrix64:
Glad to hear you like the new ROM, it is one of my favorite as well. Whenever you would like to try a different android ROM, follow these previous steps with a small addition of two steps, marked in red.

>>

1. Download the new ROM you like:

The ROM should not exceed 180 mb partition size, should be in .zip format, and the version for MAGDLR.

2. Install it:

a) Turn off your phone.

b) Remove your SD card

c) Copy the ROM (the .zip file) inside the root SD card.

d) Put the SD card in the phone.

e) Boot into MAGDLR.

f) Using volume down, choose "AD Recovery" to go to the screen with top hat.

(Choose it pressing "answer button", first hard button, next to home)

i) Using volume down choose "wipe data/factory reset", (it will delete only user data from system - sdcard such as photos and videos will remain intact)

ii) Then choose "yes - delete all user data" pressing answer button

g) Using volume down, go to "install zip from sdcard", then press answer button

h) In the next menu press again the answer button to select "choose zip from sdcard"

i) Using volume down and up, locate the ROM (zip file)

j) Press answer button

k) Press again answer button

l) If the installer show, follow instructions

m) Wait here for installation

n) At the end of installation press Finish.

o) The device will reboot itself, and the after the HTC Screen, you will see Android booting.

p) It will take several minutes, then set up your Android preferences.<<

All the best.

simple,go xda hd2 forum,android,sd roms.

basicaly you unzip rom on a pc,copy all files to sd card,put sd card back in phone,use winmo file explorer to find files and tap on clrcad then haret.android then boots.

all much simpler and safer,cos if andriod decides to start mucking about you can always fall back to winmo.

with native sd some roms are faster than using nand roms.

you would now have to start from scratch and put winmo back on phone as start point.

Hello again!

I just thought I'd post and update to the Android OS upgrade on my old hd2.

Well, erm...... there's nothing to report at all, the phone has been working great (touch wood).

Sometimes though, when using Viber to make/receive a call, nothing can be heard - the caller can't hear me/I can't hear them. I don't know if this is a software problem or a network issue but that is the only glitch I have experienced.

One small irk is that I can't find the setting that makes the S.D.card default location for downloads - the main memory sometimes fills up when I download a new app so I have to delete some things to get it onto the phone and then move to S.D. after installing, etc.

Thanks again

Hi folks just wanted to share a program I have found called Ultimate Rotation Control. For some time I've been annoyed with the poor rotation issues of this phone even with the work of the outstanding devs adding rotation to Rosie.apk it still wasn't enough! I wanted 180 rotation and rotation within individual apps and websites viewing videos (4od was a culprit of this) and the thought of decompiling EVERY app to change was a very daunting issue.

Well that was until I found URC in a thread somewhere whilst searching various forums for ideas and help. It gives you the power to control every apps rotation individually and/or use a global setting for rotation even with Lockscreen rotation available.

This is a try before you buy 7 day free trail and the licence costs £1.69 which to me is worth every single penny. Hope you like it and happy rotating :D
