having an issue when i start to run haret it starts loading and all the text spins by then stops and says at the bottom in little txt " failed to mount sd card cannot continue" anyone have any help on this
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 2K6TBSS:
Hey all,

This might be a question that has been asked before, but I can't find the answer to it.

I have downloaded and installed Android on my HD2. Went through the whole setup process and got all my contacts and calendar setup. Now here is my problem.

When I turn the phone off, then back on it boots back up into WM, not Android. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Normal operation...lol. All the noobs here are crazy.. really.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 2K6TBSS:
So I can't turn off my HD2 once I get Android setup?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
you can, and it will reboot into WM. Then you have to run Haret again to goto android. It will be this way until everything is tested and works smooth, then they will build a rom. Don't expect a rom for several months though...:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 2K6TBSS:

Is it just me or...

Does everything in android seem much more vibrant? Like the colors and contrast of everything just pops way more than it does in wm? Using android on my phone honestly feels like the screen was replaced with an amoled screen. I was wondering if maybe this is just the placebo effect at work here or is android just...more colorful?

Using Froyo Build

I've been hearing about the Froyo build but wanted to know why it's not mentioned on the first page of thread. And do the developers support the use of builds like this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] groggit:
I don't think it's a placebo effect at all: WM supports 16-bit (65,536 colours) whereas Android supports 24-bit (16.7 million colours) and beyond afaik. I seem to notice a difference.

I get one good run out of a fresh-boot of the Froyo build, and then next run it gets stuck at the adb_open prompt.

If I boot with the usb cable in, it gets a little farther past this, but is effectively still stuck at this point, with it only spitting out messages every time I plug in the USB cable.

Oh yeah, I forgot about wm's abysmal color array...

Good God, just thinking about wm and android makes me want to sell this thing and just go buy the samsung vibrant and maybe a little keychain led flashlight to go with it.

I doubt the screen is only 65k though because it's probably similar or identical to the evo 4g screen and that runs android in all its colorful glory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ashrak_22:
the screen really is 16-bit (65K), you can see it for example in the Power Management Widget on grey colour transitions :)

Sleep of death problem for froyo build

I found a solution for the sleep of death. I was getting this every time.

Until i made a few phone calls. Then when on the phone menu, if you sleep you can wake up every time. Well at least i can

Good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NuShrike:
Well, running fresh-again wipe which is pretty stable, and the turbo-mode is off for now.

Ran SunSpider:

8927.4ms +/- 2.2%. That's 3x faster than Opera Mobile 10, even with my HD2 FPU driver (which already boosts FPU math up to 4.5x+ on HD2 in SKTools Benchmark).

In Dolphin, you can also see the big difference between MS's sub-pixel problems in ClearType, and how it's really done, even if it's only 16-bit on this LCD screen.

This pretty convinces me that WM is not salvageable, even in native code, and Android is the way to go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NoSecks:
i can NOT confirm this.

after having my phone ~15min in sleep mode (after having a testphone call and let the phone menue open) , i was not able to wake it up.

Froyo works perfect here (except the knwn issues)

First post ever! You guys rock hard ! you make paid coders look bad!

Why are their multiple builds being worked on at once? wouldn't streamlining with the developers and build make things more simple and effective? and does anyone know if the hardware architecture would be different even though both are snapdragons..i know the HD2 and The Nexus 1 both use the QSD8250 chip set where as the EVO uses the QSD8650 one, but is their more past that !?:confused:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
PLEASE read the first few posts of this thread for known problems as failure to read and search before posting a very common question will be seen as spam and dealt with acordingly.

1. This is a problem with all Android ports right now and im sure its being worked on. You need to turn off all power management settings in Windows Mobile before running Android, then set the sleep to 30minutes to stop the screen turning off.

2. I wouldnt recommend putting it in a startup routine until its more stable as you could find yourself in a repetitive cycle that will require a hard reset.

Mark.

Which build is Robsbay.co.uk referring to? I know 3G is working on one of the builds that I tried, along with a few other items listed. So I'd say putting it in the first thread would be misleading until it is clear which build it refers to. Or if some devs compile a similar list for all builds!

Aw man, htc crapped out on the screen on us. Well, to be fair it is more than adequate to run wm. Sigh, yet another push for me to get off this wagon. :( And you're right, it is quite noticeable with darker shades.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lp894:
This is KINDA related to the whole "how many colors is the screen" situation. Android will only run at up to 65k colors(16-bit). Prime example is the Vibrant...it is a 24-bit color screen, but will only display 65k within android because of the limitations android imposes

And no, no data switch is required. Because again, technically you're not using android data.

Just reporting in to add my thanks to the android magicians :-)

UK unbranded HD2

Running 1.66 stock ROM with CHT, dutty's taskmanager etc and a bunch of reg tweaks (thanks XDA!),

HSPL3,

Radio 2.10.50.08_2,

dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0

8Gb class 6

Was running on radio 2.07.50.27_2 and getting frequent lockups (just opening mp3s, album etc). Current setup much happier.

Market works fine, and I've installed a free lock manager called Advanced Lock (which is a funny name because I can't even find any settings for it). Haven't had a sleep of death yet but that could be because I haven't let the phone sleep yet :D

The biggest hurdle for me was getting over the idea that Google now owns the contents of my life. But I have to admit, Android 2.2 is a great OS.

edit: I'm also a sufferer of hot phone syndrome by the way. Same for all builds / radios I've tried.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rexzooly:
I tried to under clock the CPU last night to see if this would stop the heat problem Oooo was I very wrong seems it just attacted the CPU more and the device was even warmer so I disabled that apps lol.

The android is not really stable yet to become a win win OS on the HD2 and I have had stupid lock ups on the Dan1j3 rom in the likes been shacken 2 muck as its alwasy checking or just changing the pages but i can do more things and it is ok so I think they might be a small bug somewhere with the OS is going idel in its self that sometimes can crash it maybe but at the same time I really don't know this OS is nothing like windows so I am out of my league lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chronicle:
just an update on my LeoFroyo V1.0 experiences:

I was lucky in the first 24 hours with no lock-ups!

Over the past day I have had 5 or 6 green screens, innumerable OS failures, lock-ups and weird behaviour...every time I made a call the call would connect, then the screen and buttons would become unresponsive so I couldn't end the call! The radio ROM just isn't working for me at all, it's really quick and responsive one minute then it drops all signal...etc....many issues! And that annoying issue of the screen backlight never turning off.

Despite all that, it's fun to muck around with and above all, it has convinced me to sell the HD2 and get a Nexus one or a desire for the 'proper' Android experience! LOL :D (I hope that new rumoured 'Desire HD' comes to the UK or HD3, whatever it gets called).

I'm off to fleabay!

Thanks all :)

Headphones part of audio routing?

I don't recall seeing any posts about headphones. I probably use my phone more as a portable music player than anything, and though the music player works through the external speaker, it doesn't recognize when headphones have been connected.

I assume this is part of audio routing, which shows as 'initial tests successful' on the Htc-linux site, but likely hasn't been incorporated into any of the availabe builds (I've been using Dan's Froyo build).

Can anyone confirm my assumptions?

Hi Devs,

Probably has been asked before but, will it be long until we'll see a working-flashable-android port to the HTC HD2? What I mean is, I'd love to have it available to try it in WinMo but...It will be so much better if we'd have a working port flashed to our HD2s.

Pull the back panel of your phone and pull battery/hit restart button. Green screens still happen, these are all experimental testing builds. If it keeps happening everytime, check your radio, make sure your backlight is not set for automatic, etc etc etc.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DuperMan:
Regarding the "turbo mode" snag

I did some SASUADeB (Smart-Ass Super-User Amateur DeBugging :D ) and managed to get the system loaded and running at a sane speed. I started by figuring out the actual rate of the "turbo mode", which was roughly 14 seconds on the minute or 4.285714285714286 times faster than it should run.

Now, keep in mind that while I enjoy writing long, seemingly highly accurate numbers, I doubt the figure's accuracy since I calculated it a while after measuring the timings and from memory (I hate writing things down real time).

Dividing 998, the cpu's optimal run speed by this figure then multiplying by 4 yields 931 - close enough to a known kink with the leo's cpu where it gets stuck at 921 when overclocking (as I learned from NetRipper's cpu control app thread).

Being too daft to make sense of this nifty intel, I proceeded to disable the ChainFire's WinMo OpenGL enabler/driver/thingy, as well as disabled ALL power control options in WinMo (Screen/Device turnoff both on battery and ext. power and brightness autocontrol), moved the contents of the Windows\StartUp folder to a safe storage locale and have set the time in hyperspeed Android correctly, promptly restarted into WinMo and setting the time two minutes later than Android thought it was and rebooting into WinMo.

After tweaking stuff blindly as explained for an hour or so I finally had the linux boot screen cursor (flashing underline at the bottom of the screen when booting Android) blink at a sane pace and one green screened boot into Android, a reboot into WinMo and booting Android with File Explorer rather than Resco File Explorer I was rid of the pesky "alarm time already past" notice which is shown right before the Android robot animation when booting Dan1j3l's FroYo 1.0 and now have Android on Valium :D

Being a non-programming debugger mo-fo, I ostensibly deduce from all this convoluted and confusing text that Android believes the CPU runs at 192mhz while it actually runs at 998mhz or 921mhz, i.e the CPU control driver's *****y.

Can't do nothing 'bout it mates, hope someone smart will read this;)

My long winded two cents,

DuperMan

Hey there, I own robsbay, (name was intended for something else),

The way the table updating is done is that I will try to update as soon as a feature is implemented in any builds/kernels.

Since a few people are working on different builds/kernels this means that on occasion, a build will not contain all the features I have listed as completed...

But normally very soon once the code is shared between the developers it will then be implemented on all builds, this will be the case 99% of the time!

This way it gives a better indication of what we know can work, and will be implemented into all builds in the near future!!

If requested, I will add a further 2/3 smaller columns listing the builds and current progress for those specific builds!

I will be updating the site very regularly as I am on the IRC/read through all logs so will update as soon as I can confirm details!

Please check back on the site for improvements and updates,

Since the Froyo build boots from the Android folder and the Desire build boots from the root of the SD card, is it possible to have both versions on the SD card at the same time? Or is my best bet to just wipe the card and start fresh?
