Am I the only one left that has no love for capacitive screens? Just don't know how I'd get along without jotting down notes during a call/impromptu-meeting or being able to accurately play point-n-click flash games. Just a personal preference though...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rr5678:
If the Touch Pro 3 has lots of RAM, a Snapdragon processor, an even larger screen and Windows Mobile 6.1 then I'll buy it :p

I would get an iPhone if I ever want one, but now Microsoft is trying to force it on us. No thanks, I'll take WM6.1 over WP7
[HD2 General] Boro22:
Hi,

I updated my ROM as soon as it came out in January.

I have been using my HTC HD2 on and off over the last two months due to its niggles but thought I would give the phone one more chance.

To my dismay again - I having issues with sending and incoming text messages.

For example

There was about a 3 hour window today where I suspect I was not receiving any text or sending any.

I noticed this because I phoned vodafone to give me an automated SMS message to tell me how many mins I got left. But after 2 attempts and left it for 90 mins, no messages came through.

I also sent out a couple of texts but noticed the delivery reports were shown as not delivered. These were two several different people.

So I thought this must be my phone then.

I switched off my phone and back on again, voila the messages I had sent were delivered 30 secs after my phone was switched back on.

I phoned up Vodafone again to get automated text message - viola the sms came within 5 seconds.

Question

What cause the cessation of incoming and outgoing messages in that 3 hour window? Could an app/update running in the background could have caused this?

Is this a common issue even with the latest official ROM update? Is there a fix?

Please help as this issue along with short battery life is making me thing whether to get rid of phone.

But I also love the other features of the phone - for that reason I want this fundamental feature of sending/receiving SMS message to be resolved.

Thanks -rant over
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
that sounds just like the original sms problem.

did you use backup software when you upgraded? with the wrong settings, when you restore it can cause problems by writing back some old system files.

could be as easy as a hard reset.
[HD2 General] Boro22:
no I did not use any backup software. literally just installed the new ROM and then had to install all my programs manually in again. any ideas? it does seem like the old sms issue as the problem is much less frequent but annoying nonetheless lol.
[HD2 General] dhamma:
Boro22

Sorry to hear all your disappointing references your having with your HD2.

I not long after getting myne when had rom 1.48 and now 1.66 never have had any SMS problems(although a fix was installed by HTC straight away apon purchase)

I then installed a app to disable Sence Sms (sorry cant find where i got it from) being processed by Sence as it created a few limitations i liked in windows sms .

Any way by shifting the total responsibility back to Windows Sms functionality > i have never to today experienced a single problem with stuck sms.

I hope this helps.
[HD2 General] Boro22:
but my problem is very intermittent. could a program running in the background cause this issue
[HD2 General] dino_Donis:
I have an O2 HD2 which came with ROM V1.43 i had no issues with sms. I installed the V1.66 ROM...still no issues! It may be something to do with your network? might be worth trying a different networks sim card to prove???
[HD2 General] Boro22:
I thought the same but i have no issue with my old phone. strange huH?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hach22:
Hello,

I want to kown how can i make a sappimg.zip file ?

I want to do same that this file : rogers.com/magic-zip1 but with another radio
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sindrefyrn:
If you know HTC's signature, simply sign the new zip file containing the new radio.

If you don't know HTC's signature, follow these steps:

1. Get a top job in HTC, and get hold of the signature.

2. Leak the signature, so we can enjoy rooting all our phones.

3. Sign the sappimg containing the new radio with the signature you found from HTC.

Or, to be serious. It's, as for now, no known way to make a sappimg.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jgcaap:
not even with goldcard?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shinyen:
May i ask, is there any one who has the sappimg for HTC Magic Taiwan (Hami), i need it urgently because after flashing the clockworkmod recovery, it does not really work and I tried to flash a custom ROM and it actually caused my phone keep restarting and i can't enter to recovery, the only way so far i think is only working which is thru sappimg but i need the taiwan version.... Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hindey19:
I'm having the exact same issue right now.

I followed these instructions (except instead of naming to HEROIMG.zip I renamed to sappimg.zip and it starts to load). - edit: There are instructions here too.

I'm downloading the RUU file from the HTC website right now to see if it will work, the one I tried before (can't remember the source) didn't work properly.

I'll post back when/if I can get it working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hindey19:
It's confirmed - this method does work.

It will get your phone working again, no more boot screens, no more perpetual restarting.
[Hero CDMA General] sdrewh:
I am not a DEV by anymeans I wanted to ask how hard would it be to bring a nexus one CM mod rom over to Hero?
[Hero CDMA General] jumaaneface:
Would be slightly easier to port a ROM from the 32a board mytouch.

The ROM is quite a bit smaller and functions well. At least I think so. Either way there is difficulty..but not impossible

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Is there a way to view the raw boot process in text mode instead of the boot animation?

Hoping there is a setting in a config file somewhere....

Edit: ([Solved/Workaround])

One easy solution is to install the paid app mentioned here. It shows you the logcat log as your phone boots.

A free kernel mod to accomplish this is still elusive.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
For linux/grub this is accomplished by removing the 'quiet' and 'splash' options in /boot/grub/menu.lst

Also found a possible setting in /init.rc

However I cannot chmod this file to edit it even as root. / is mounted read-only :(

Do I need to unpack + edit the file + repack boot.img and then flash(boot) it to achieve this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] followinginsanity:
you need to mount /system as rw before you can chmod anything. SU file manager works well for this, and you can do it all on the phone, even the edits. Just don't forget to make a nandroid before you do any tweaks.

I know there is a way to disable the boot animation in the boot.img-kernel, i've seen it done before.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
So you want a verbose boot mode?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Yes.

SU file manager is not free.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
SU file manager can only mount /data and /system as RW, afaik / is a ramdisk image that is only modifiable if the change is made in a boot.img and flashed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] followinginsanity:
heh Just depends on where you need to make the changes :P Its what I used to do the build.prop mods to get navi working on the G1 back before they did the official update. Either way I do hope we can figure out how to disable the boot animation. Like I said I know its been done, and where the guy said he did the mod to do it. But thats only a start. Also I know the emulator has a command so that you can boot it without the animation but thats the emu, not the actual device.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Heres where I am now:

The first X comes from initlogo.rle in the root directory of the bootimage.

The next image is the boot logo. This is a set of two images in framework-res.apk/assets/images.

If a bootanimation.zip is found in /data/local or system/media, it is shown next. This is the nexus boot animation.

I tried renaming bootanimation.zip...the boot logo images were shown instead.

I removed the boot logo images from framework-res.apk...got a blank black screen until the lock screen appeared.

Also tried editing pushing a modified init.rc with these commands,

didnt help

the original init.rc was restored on reboot.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
adb pull init.rc .
#edit the file.
adb push init.rc /
adb shell sync
adb reboot

Found some instructions on how to edit the boot image:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

Thinking of setting up ubuntu in a virtualbox to try this. (Goal is to turn set ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 0 in init.rc). Dont know if this will let us see the verbose boot log or not...

Update:

Tried this. the 2.5MB boot.img splits up into two pieces (ramdisk and kernel), totaling 2MB (?), flashing an updated 2MB boot.img gets the phone stuck on the initial x. ... Something is missing.

Re: Boot with no boot screen? (console)

I noticed there is a /system/bin/bootanimation. I ran it from terminal and the animation played. I couldn't exit it and had to take the battery out to reboot. It took over my screen and disabled all the buttons.

If you removed the images and still had a black screen, I wonder if this program was running but was black because the images were gone. Maybe renaming it would keep it from running and do what you want?

I tried to "cat" it but it's a binary. There was some garbled text toward the end which said "boot animation disabled" and gave some file locations etc. May be some clues there.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Tried this.

adb -d shell mv /system/bin/bootanimation /system/bin/bootanimation1

It booted ok and I got a black screen in place of the boot animation, went straight to the lock screen.

Didnt get the console text though :(

sorry, cant contribute. but id love to have this as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anethema:
Well where are all the Kernel hackers when you need em :D

Told by someone pretty intelligent that the Kernel will basically need to be compiled to enable the console framebuffer option and maybe remove references to the boot animations etc. I'd love something like this though, wish I knew more about implementing it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I can contribute a little bit.

Go over to the Dev section, see the "update.zip creation" thread. There are instructions for creating a boot image:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=667923

In these instructions, you'll notice an interesting switch for kernel to execute with:

--cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null'

I believe that might lead you to where you're trying to get ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I tried that, the new boot.img I create does not work, see post #8
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
what did you define as console?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
What you posted, and also tried the command that was in my boot.img (cyanogenmod)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
Re: Boot with no boot screen? (console)

i would love this!

unfortunately i did the same things eg move bootanimation.zip bootanimation script etc.

only got a black screen.

we could build a bootanimation.zip with text images... lol

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
There is one out there, but I prefer the real thing.

We need help from one of the kernel masters!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
But I posted the default command, and marked it in red to say - if you're making a boot image with default command line, you're actually redirecting the console to null, so what do you expect to see?!

First, try eliminating redirection, the default might work. Remove the "console=null" from the line and rebuild the boot image.

In case it still won't work - try to change it to "console=tty", "console=ttyS0" or something like that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
ok, got you. Will try this soon.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahathir:
Actually the bootanimation is called AFTER the kernel has been booted and filesystems have been mounted.

Actually, the text console was not enabled in the kernel; CONFIG_VT and several other options.

I just made the kernel with the text console enabled, but... it hangs just after the "X" mark scrolled up, with flickering text with scrolling yellow band/box. IMO, the framebuffer has to be configured/initialized correctly using kernel boot parameters (fastboot -c "kernel parameters" boot zImage" , ie, the refresh rate and screen resolution info.

Ok, here is the snippet of the make oldconfig during the kernel configuration.

*
* Restart config...

*
* Character devices
*
Virtual terminal (VT) [Y/n/?] y

can you try this kernel parameter "console=ttyHS0"? its currently "console=null"

Tried using ARM toolchain from Android NDK instead (http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html) .... and was able to compile CM kernel successfully :)

Compiler string to use is ...

Now it's on to checking out N1's framebuffer driver, which could be the key to redirecting either dmesg or logcat to the screen ...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
I'm still looking for a normal solution to this too, besides that the app is excellent.

I flashed a ROM with the raw boot animation a year or so ago, but it was an alpha from the developer, and I didn't realize what it was because the developer simply wasn't done with it, and it was something of a mistake.

Might have been Kaosinate v3 or something.

Still looking for this.
