I've had the same problem running Dude RC2.

16 gb Class 2

NO apps2sd though.

Same problem as everyone else. Phone mysteriously froze. Then the phone reported the sd card was taken out unexpectedly. Took out the card, it remounted it, the phone recognized it just fine, but it was blank. No pictures, music, etc. Put it in my laptop to confirm, and it was clean. Reformatted using the phone, put my stuff back in there, and it's been fine for about a week. I've been using Dude's ROM since he dropped his Cupcake rom, and this is the first time I have this problem.

Again, no apps2sd. I stopped doing apps2sd when it fried my 8gb class 4.
[G1 Android Development] rahulsh:
It happened with me after i loaded some Hero Rom....reverted back to Dudes Rom and problem seems to be solved!! Its ROM specific...modded ROMs DAMN!!:mad:
[G1 Android Development] Moons7:
Happened to me twice yesterday using TheDude 1.3 RC1 with a 2gb class 2 card.

But the card wasn't reformated though...

Didn't happen today...
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
I don't think it's rom specific, cause people on different roms seem to be having this problem. I have a hypothesis as to what is causing the problems.

A lot of the newer roms are overclocked. When you overclock something, it can cause instability, especially if the processor starts running hot. As a result, it causes your phone to freeze. Once the processor cools down enough that it unfreezes, the rom does a full or partial reboot. Since all the new roms are made to work with apps2sd, and the OS is already running unstable, the apps2sd script tries to format your card and ends up wiping it clean.

Again, this is my hypothesis, but this problem was never experienced before developers started overclocking their roms and before apps2sd scripts became common in all versions of the roms. Whether you use apps2sd (I don't) or not is irrelevant. The roms include the apps2sd scripts.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I tend to agree with this theory, however, this had not happened to me prior to flashing Dude's 1.3RC2. While it may not be ROM specific, maybe something common in many ROM's (kernel update, for example?) has changed, causing the issue on any ROM using it. Flashing back to beta12 without a wipe seems to have fixed the issue for me. Most instances I've seen involve apps to sd users. Don't think the issue has to do with sd card class and size, though.
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
I've been running Dude's 1.3RC2 for a week since my memory card got wiped. I have not experienced anymore problems since then, but I have also used my phone a lot less then I had before. The reason I say I don't think it's rom specific is because I think I've read that at least one person with JF's Cupcake and someone on Hero had this problem. I read so many threads that I might be wrong though.
[G1 Android Development] Deuces:
Transcend 8gb class 6. same problem.

i quit using a2sd because of it.
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
well..

@ bayard

@ dueces

While I don't think anyone has quiet put there finger on the cause of this issue we have figured out different ways to avoid it, it has something to do w/ the time and the configuration of the apps 2 sd scripts that make the sd card reformat itself to the ext2or3 partition entirely.. now what this means is that your sd will not store ant fat32 memory. And the way I would fix it is, you wanna get rid of that whole ext2or3 partition by using gparted via cyan's recovery ing 1.3.1 and you remove the partition and reformat..

To avoid this between Rom or certain updates you would have to paragon or whatever software you used to create the ext2or3, delete the partition, redistribute the free space into fat32 then reformat the fat 32 via pc and start the partitioning process on a clean state..

I on the other hand highly recommend you gparted via cyan's recovery ing 1.3.1, is easier once you get the hang of it and its safer and quicker..
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
Big Nu,

I do not use apps2sd and I can confirm that I have had this problem before. Twice, my sd card was wiped clean 3 times it unmounted unexpectedly and I had to reboot my phone in order to access it. My hypothesis still stands that it's a combination of the processors being overclocked and the apps2sd scripts that are in all the roms now. I never had this problem when there were seperate roms for apps2sd and non apps2sd users and before all the overclocking optimizations.
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
what do you use to partition?
[G1 Android Development] sirlantzz:
Yep 8gb (unknow class) did it to me yesterday. Apps were on card that was formated w/ Ubuntu. Had to wipe phone too. Zeroed out card w/ Mac OSX drive utility and left in fat32 format, will watch as is. Phone storage is enough for my apps i use anyway.
[G1 Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
I still have the regular JF recovery, so I don't think that it's the Cyan recovery 1.2 that's causing the problems.
[G1 Android Development] j007w:
I had a Kingston 4GB class 4 on JF 1.51US and it'd dismount by itself several times a day. It didn't happen again after I switched to Transcend 8GB class 6. Now I'm on Cyanogen's with the same card and still no problem.
[G1 Android Development] mr_black03:
im usuing cyanogen 3.6.7.2 and have the problem w/ a 4GB Class 4 never had the issue with 8GB class 2 both using a2sd
[G1 Android Development] ohnoezmahfone:
I'm having what I think is the same problem... my SD card will eject and re-mount several times a day. It happens almost instantaneously, if it weren't for the notification sound I probably wouldn't notice it.

I'm running Dude's 1.3R2 / Cyanogen 1.3.1 recovery, with an 8GB SD card (class 4 maybe), and no apps2SD--my card has a single FAT32 partition.

The problem started sometime after I created an ext3 partition on the card to try out a hero build, then went back to dude's and deleted the partition again, but maybe that's just a coincidence. I used gparted in Ubuntu.

This did not fix the problem for me.

The plural of anecdote is not data, but reading through all the posts, the recurring items are Dude's ROM...It's not all of the posts, but it's a lot of them.
[G1 Android Development] Raqueeb:
Hi,

The same thing is happening here. I get this twice or more everyday!

"sd card unexpectedly removed" and a reboot fixes this. The SD card contact points are clean and inserted properly.

It's a 2GB SD card supplied by HTC and bought it from Singapore.

It's a mess when it requires SD access while backing up!

How to fix that?

Holy resurrection! I had this problem too when I first got my phone, wow almost 2 years ago. But I think this was a software issue, at least for me. After updating my phone one day I no longer had the problem. Which rom or android version are you using?

also next time post in the Q&A forum.
[G1 Android Development] nickstewartroc:
Im having the same problem, with a brand new one no less, i had a fialing 8 gb class 6 and used it but had to eject it alot and lick it to get it to work, then i finally got my new 8gb class 6 with the same problem and before that even tried the original G1 1gb sd card

EDIT: Contacted Tmobile about it and thought i was going to get a third G1 but they let my upgrade to the Cliq so yeah, why notXD
[G1 Android Development] zaelia:
it is the class. had problems with the 4 gig class 2 switched to a 4 gig class 4 and nomore problems. the higher the class the faster the card works.
[G1 Android Development] nickstewartroc:
For some problems a better class may work better, but apparently while talking to tmobile, the G1 is notorious for SDcard randomly ejecting, so they just give you a new one, or up you to a Cliq in my case

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Is there anybody trying to bring XVID support to Android? I would love the ability to copy a movie to my SD card and then watch it without converting it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RaiderX303:
even if someone did port it it would be software accelerated as the hardware only supports H.264 decoding, and the cpu in the phone wont be very good at decoding it. especially if its higher than the phones resolution of 480x320
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lbcoder:
Actually, the hardware is capable of h263 as well...

FYI: There is no such thing as "xvid" as an actual video encoding. It is just a video encodER/decodER that implements a SUBSET of mpeg4 part2, which *INCLUDES H263*. That means that xvid <= h263 and is therefore theoretically compatible with the hardware decoder.

That means that you should be able to playback so-called "xvid" without having to reencode.

Note that that does NOT mean that you can simply playback whatever you downloaded from the 'net. There are other issues affecting compatibility... 1) CONTAINER FORMAT... this is typically indicated by the file extension... i.e. ".avi" probably won't play since there is no appropriate demuxer available. Might help to remux it into a compatible container... .MP4 is a suitable container, as is .3GP. The container format selected has NEGLIGIBLE affect on CPU load and demuxing is always done in software, so don't worry about that. 2) overall bitrate/resolution... this still has an affect. Though it has a dedicated decoder chip, it DOES have limitations. Don't expect it to be able to handle HD content under any circumstances. 3) the decoder's implementation of mpeg4 -- not all hardware implements everything possible. 4) audio used -- it WILL choke on cryptic proprietary audio encodings.

I've released a new build - 21820 - fixes most problems. Get it!
[Sable] AbsolutBenz:
wooohhoooo.

i'm downloading your 6.5 now..

thx very much for your efforts bro
[Sable] genesea:
"Bet you didn't think I'd get this done before my earlier WM6.5 ROM expires at the end of the month, eh?" that will be me~ lol (thought you must be busy with sth. else recently:)

welcome back, god Ben!!!

just flashed Monte's rom yesterday, so maybe flash your one bit later~

the 91x is truly becoming unbeatable among all the qwerty wm phones!!! rock on!!!
[Sable] Gibla:
WoW!

Great job! I'm using your WM 6.5

I've just a little problem with the Titanium Weather, doesn't work :S

No weather icons at all. Any suggestion about that?
[Sable] AbsolutBenz:
just running on your 6.5 now..

first impression? damn good!! (it also my 1st experience using 6.5)

oke here's some glitch i found :

-everytime i type using keyboard there is some delay in somewhat the same like i type using a keypad on my 610.. and it's kind a annoying to me coz, sometime if type an email address(or a sentence) after i type @(or a space) and i continue to type without waiting the half-underscore disappear, the cursor came back again to the first word of the sentence (or after the @) when the half-underscore is disappear. for example i always typing johndoe@mail.com but this problem giving me result johndoe@ilma.mco (if i type mail fast enough).

- and the capslock or function indicator near the keyboard is not showing at all

- the device is restarting my itself. here's the condition : i'm pushing the cpu clock to 624mhz (PHM), using wcdma network, and loading google using IE6.. and the device is going off...

another condition : every setting is normal, i watched a movie on coreplayer, and got an incoming call... and the device went off instead of freeze..

but despite all the problems above, i still enjoying your 6.5, but the device is becoming less productive...

ohoh,, can you give me a solution how to change screen orientation without restarting the device?

and once again i'm thanking you very very much for you Ben..
[Sable] benjaminries:
I couldn't get it to work either, and thought it was something I was doing. Hmm. I'll look into that.
[Sable] benjaminries:
The keyboard is buggy for me too sometimes; I have no idea why. These OEM packages are taken directly from the new HP update. Has anyone experienced this behaviour on any other 91x roms? I also can't explain the capslock/numlock indicator... it is a DLL that I am still including just like the stock ROM, but maybe it also relies on stuff from the HP Customization package?

Device restarting itself... that has not happened to me and I've been running this ROM for a few days now. Are you sure your battery connection isn't loose?

Can anyone else confirm these issues and/or confirm if they are present in Montecristo's ROMs? I think he tends to take his SYS directly from the keyx kitchen, whereas I'm usually porting a release from Da_G or somebody else on ppcgeeks.
[Sable] Gibla:
Hi,

I'm using your ROM, I haven't that problem!! Keyboard is normal!

I solved the problem with the weather, was a server problem with accu weather!! :)
[Sable] bourkej:
hey BR,

Yeah, the keyboard bug is present in Mc's ROM too ... I'll give yours a try, I like your style!

Cheers,

[Sable] benjaminries:
Thanks. I just tried out mine and the keyboard was fine... but I've experienced that from time to time, even on the HP Factory roms. Maybe HP still needs to work on their keyboard driver a bit?
[Sable] Montecristo:
I am glad you've returned! OEM hp which building are you using?
[Sable] benjaminries:
I'm using the OEM extracted from HP's most recent ROM update, BIOS 1.20.09 (21 May 2009)

...but I removed a number of files and registry entries to take out most of the HP branded stuff. Feel free to use osnbtool to extract my ported XIP from 21815br0609 if you are planning to build your own 21815.
[Sable] carrige:
Hi Ben!

I'm looking forward to trying your WM 6.5 build for the first time (first time using a cooked ROM, actually!) on my 914c, but I noticed that you mentioned using BIOS 1.20.09. When I clicked through to the link to the HP website, this was listed as being compatible only with the 910c, with SKU ID FB168AA#ABA.

My SKU ID is FB052AA#ABB, would installing this ROM cause any problems? The latest OEM firmware HP have for my model is 1.01.01 dated 28th April 2009, yours is more recent but I'm not sure if my phone will run with it.

Matt
[Sable] benjaminries:
I'm not sure... but I think you should try, since I'm only updating the OS portion of the ROM anyway. If things don't work out for some reason, you can always flash back to your own Factory ROM using either DNW or the SD Loader (Paloma has posted on this); somebody reportedly flashed a 61x ROM to their 91x and was able to get it working again that way.

My assumption thus far is that there are no hardware differences between the 910c, 912c and 914c that require specific OS roms.
[Sable] carrige:
Okay, I'll try it out later on tonight and post here if/when I manage. Thanks!
[Sable] parkhaus:
(empty)(empty)
[Sable] parkhaus:
Hmm. 1.20.xx is only available from hp for the 910c. For the 914c the latest update is 1.01.01. The legend is the same for both updates: "fixes keyboard lockup issue and audio quality"

BTW, Montecristo does not recommend to use the 1.20.xx version of his ROM, he still uses 1.01.01 (which seems to be more compatible).

He uses SYS folder from keyx 614 kitchen but boot.rgu from HP 1.01.01.

Once more, if you want to fully update your phone (Modem part, Bootloader, etc) go to this thread, works fine:

[Sable] EREZYAD:
hi

first I must say tnx 4 the rom and 4 your work

I have tested your rom and I have some issues

1 I-go8.3 will not load up (stop after installation –need sr 2 releases but will not load at any way)

2 keyboard, have issue unlike anything I have seen

sometimes if u type a dot then a letter the cursor will go back one step

(I think there is like t9 dll or something that gets in the way)

3 rom is real nice (good looking :) ) but a lot slower if compared 2 Montecristo

expired rom (u have more apps/plugins but looks like it is more then apps difference )

4 sometimes rom freeze

5 sometime tmail will not open and u will get sounds like stuck recording (DJ iPAQ) sr will stop this sounds and then u can enter tmail o.k.

6 I use opera mini as main explorer don’t know way but u cannot log into forum (like xda …) at all website I have tested user name will be o.k. but password will not enter the field (stay blank)

What I must point out is that radio connection and auto data setup is great

igo and opera mini are important apps 4 me

do u have a fix 4 this issue or know a way….?

Tnx 4 the rom I like it :)
[Sable] bourkej:
BR,

6.5 is running smooth, thanks! I have tested every 6.5 release out there and unlike Erezyad I haven't noticed major speed differences between them. My 914c is heavily used for both business and private.

I like this release a lot as it is the most vanilla, neutral and well balanced.

Thanks again,

John
[Sable] benjaminries:
I have no idea what the issue with i-go and opera mini is; I don't have i-go but will test opera mini. It is java (as you know) and should be more or less isolated from the OS, so that's really weird.

The keyboard issues... might possibly be a result of me using a 910c-specific OEM base while you have a 912 or 914, but I doubt it. I haven't experienced the jumpy cursor lately, but I can tell you that I used to get it once and a while, even on the default HP factory ROM. Montecristo and I both use the keyboard driver/files supplied by HP, so I don't know what the problem could be. Personally, I suspect that we're encountering a physical hardware defect in these units - wherein errant d-pad keypresses are being registered when you press other keys sometimes. Try disabling word completion and word suggestions - I've found that improves performance a lot.

I'm not familiar with the ipaq dj (what is that?) and the tmail problems you describe.

As for the overall speed of the ROM, you are right that I have included almost all SYS packages from the generic WM6.5 installation (except for Autoupdate, SampleMusic, SQM, WelcomeCenter and WindowsLive). I think keyx and Montecristo (who just uses whatever SYS is in keyx's kitchen, I think) omit Enterprise, IPSECVPN and Transcriber. I kept those in because they actually seem useful for some people. However, I think my ROM has a bit less of HP's junkware than the others'. To me the biggest impact on speed is free RAM, and you can keep nearly 60 MB free on my build if you terminate running programs.

I have considered releasing an "l" series (as in "lite") that omits Enterprise, Entertainment, IPSECVPN, Themes, Transcriber, Skybox, Skymarket and Widgets... it would be ruthlessly pared down. But then again, I don't take donations and I'm not really interested in a whole lot of cooking of ROMs that I wouldn't personally use. I expect WM6.5 to be a bit slower than WM6.1 because of all the added glitz.

Bottom line: other than fixing bugs that can be reproduced by others (and aren't just due to the OEM drivers or OS, which are beyond my control), I'm not going to compete with Montecristo for "fastest ROM" or whatever. If the 910c vs. 912 and 914 OEM base thing turns out to be a big deal, maybe Monte will cook for 912/4 and I'll stick to the 910c.

Thanks for the feedback! :)
[Sable] charlie71:
Like the 'Lite' idea

Ben,

'Lite' sounds great--any Apps a person prefers can then be installed later! I use the 910c.

thanks.
[Sable] deezy7:
Hey Ben, you and Montecristo are doing some great work! I just recently got my 910c and it is GREAT to know you guys are supporting our devices! I recently moved from a highly customized TyTN II with M2D on it, and am super excited now knowing that we've got 6.5 on the 91x devices!!

I can't wait to see what WM 7.0 will look like!

But first I'm gonna flash WM 6.5!! Woot!
[Sable] benjaminries:
Yeah well, many of the SYS packages to which I referred can't be installed by the user via cab (except Skybox, which is Microsoft MyPhone). So if people are sure they'd never use them, I guess they're better off without it; however I worry that some apps might depend on Enterprise and IPSECVPN in particular. I'll think it over a bit.
[Sable] benjaminries:
Honestly, I wish I had gone for the Palm Treo Pro. I could have dealt with the worse keyboard in exchange for Cell-ID APIs from HTC (for geolocation/triangulation features like Google Latitude, etc.) Oh well. Here's hoping that the HP 910c being sold by Rogers in Canada will push HTC to release a better ril.dll that exposes Cell-ID and does Name Display.

[Sable] bourkej:
I sadly had to remove your 6.5; experienced numerous hangs both during boot and use. I noticed that "device.exe" suddenly takes up all available resources and renders the phone unusable. It must have something to do with 1 or more device drivers as I was also unable to use WM5storage (complaining about the USB driver).

I have since flashed MC's 1.91 and all is and stayes well so there must be a difference in the ROM's ... maybe different 914c hardware versions responding differently to a build?

Anyway hope this helps; let me know if you need more info.
