I'll give it a go. Desire v4 keeps freezing up on me anyways. May as well go the full 9 and see if I can't brick this thing proper.

It looks like I have to wait until I can go get a new SD card to get this working right anyways.

WiFi/HSPA/3G/Edge-works

Calls-Robot voice (despite doing every fix mentioned in this thread, short of getting a new SD card)

Battery life is fluctuating, and the phone gets pretty hot. Assuming that's because I need to flash a new ROM to keep it from booting in hyper mode, but I keep getting "connection error" with Miri's latest.

Everything else works just fine, except it'll freeze up on me every once in a while and I need to soft reset.

Absolutely not complaining, though. The amount of work that it took to get to this point is staggeringly apparent. I'm incredibly impressed by the Devs!

Windows Mobile 6.5

Running 2.13.531.1 Stock ROM (keep getting errors when I try to flash a new rom to it)

Radio: 2.10.50.26

what is this? a full rom that boots directly to android?

No. I thing, that extreme light WM ROM w/ Android...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tundra84:
While I havent flashed it myself, I believe it's just a barebones wm rom with an android compliant radio and android with a dual-boot app. I see no need for me to cripple my wm so android boots a little faster quite honestly. Although I may be mistaken!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
mmm well, i've tried that already! but i'll give it a try again!

just one thing, i liked froyo, i don't like sense too much. froyo was a lot smoother!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobbyTouchHD:
What is this right now? Is it really wm with maby the geny dual boot app?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tundra84:
I agree, I've found froyo to run much smoother than the desire with sense build. That's probably because sense is pretty resource heavy and our wm phone's aren't yet quite optimized to use android yet.

Any timeframe for this? Running Android off the internal storage would make a massive difference to speed and reliability I'd say.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elgrego4:
I think that is a very bad idea. You need the option of dual boot, as we should not depend on android. At least having Winmo still on the phone gives you a plan b when android goes tits up.

proximity sensor

I am running desire v4 on my HD2 and I have to say it is great. Following this thread since the beginning I am really impressed with improvements done in such short time. Apart from already known issues I have a problem with proximity sensor, basically it works, switching the screen off when making call but immediately after it disconnects me, even more wired it only happens when I am making a call and it works fine when receiving a call and picking up. Anyone have the same problem?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yosi199:
Actually, NRG's rom with andorid works the best so far! Amazing work to everyone developing this thing, simply amazing. I'm waiting for a major speed improvements and some hebrew lang :)

for who want italian rom with leon 3.9 and desire v4 audio during calls works very good
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] grabson79:
did someone try to download and open to check what is there?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yosi199:
Yes I did, after working with every possible build, NRG's Android rom works awsome! Faster than the rest and even stabler.

Anyone know if we have superuser permissions? I want to add hebrew fonts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
I don't think it's a bad idea at all. With a reliable fast version of Android available, I'd personally never use WM again, it offers nothing in particular that I need these days. I also disagree with 'needing' a dual boot option as it's very much up the the individual in question.

If someone wants to use WM, they can stay with WM. If someone wants to dual boot, there is more than one way of doing it. If someone doesn't care about WM and is happy to just use Android, NRG's work in progress looks a very good way of doing it. I fall into that last category.

As for 'when Android goes tits up'. Even if it did happen WM is just a flash away no matter what happens.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
I'm downloading NRG's rom now. Just to confirm, does the core of Android in this run from the internal memory and not the memory stick?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paaanda:
It runs from the SD-card
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hirnteri:
one short question: is the nrg-rom a desire-build (with sense) or a froyo-rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Right, I'm trying to work out the advantage over a normal build with a dual boot application then. I thought it would be bare bones to increase the available memory and allow at least the core of Android to be run internally and therefore increase the speed.

needed to ask though, does anyone have a non 7zip mirror of the desire v4 build they could post? my desktop is in the shop and i've got to download using my phone (it will only take rar or zip:( )

thanks to anyone who has a link, i'm really grateful

Battery Drain

Afternoon all,

I've got Dan's Froyo 2.2 build running. It was fully charged at 7am this morning & now down to 44%. I haven't really used it at all in the 6 hours, so can't blame it on usage.

How's everyone else getting on with battery drain on their handsets? If anyone using a different build with much better battery usage???

I did this but the image quality from my contacts are very good in Windows Mobile but when i did a sync to Gmail and then to Android the images have a poor quality. :confused:

I hope this is better with Sprite Migrate
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adelinobs:
actually i answered this on a previous post, you can import your SIM contacts directly from your sim to android, and this is not mentioned on the FAQ's (maybe someone might add it?) all you have to do is go to contacts (in android) press windows key and select import, it will show you the list of contacts from your sim, then press windows key again and select import all and that is it, you have all your contacts in android, if you want just some of them just choose them before pressing the windows key for the second time.

hope this helps

Anyone successfully been able to make bluetooth keyboards connect and work with Android, either 2.1 or froyo? Would be especially interested in successes which involved a non-English qwerty keyboard.

I realize Keypro is out there for this task on the Android market, and seems to be moderately successful in this endeavor, however the selection of keyboards it works with is limited, and with my Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard 6000, it's appears useless.

Thanks in advance for replies.

fjell
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paulrgod:
If you selected the default - you can change it by doing the following

Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

In the list locate which one you set as Default (HTC Sense or the other one i forgot it's name - i'm on Froyo build so can't check)

Select it and then choose 'Clear Defaults'.

Now when you press Home you'll get the prompt again.

Hope this helps!

I have yet to work this out myself. Presumably the additional available memory when Haret is run makes a difference, although given how Haret works, I can't see how. It also boots directly into Android with no intervention.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mick1475:
My Energy ROM disconnects the radio permanently aftert I go to the lockscreen. Not as bad as the SOD, but still makes the device unusable as a phone to be taken around with me. I'll try reflashing and see what happens then. Anybody else similar symptoms?

I lost sound after flashing the Energy ROM that boots the phone into Android.

Just a Quick note to the Digital Compass, i know this is not essential now. But it is not working as it should.

Cause it shows north, then i turn the device and north is elsewhere :-O (five minutes ago in winmo ok, done new calibration still nothing) Then i tried wikitude, and the issue got even worse when i turned the phone side upwards (as when shooting a video)it's turning North like wild. Can anybody confirm, or is it just my device.

I have this issue sometimes, and sometimes it won't even start after unlocking.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgerbracht:
I'd dare say I've read all the posts for the last two days but I don't think I've seen a single TMOUS user running the stock 2.13 rom and 2.10.50.26 radio avoiding the robot voice on either Desire or Dan's Froyo. I know other ROMs have had more success (Miri) and I haven't had luck disabling sense and restarting then booting up Haret. I haven't changed my SPL yet, would that make a difference?

Is it fair to say developers at some point will be able to identify why Miri's Rom works and use the same settings?

Can I finally enable automatic backlight in WM now that we have backlight support in Android?

Also, any stock TMO users that have calls working (no robot) please let me know here or PM.

Thanks,

I just think that get root access on this community builds must be easier than on officially distributed devices with original ROM.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hellsblade:
I also used the energy ROM with the cotulla build in. I think its really amazing. Sound works even over bluetooth can make phonecalls. Can receive phonecalls SMS. Activesync and gmail accounts work. Its brilliant in my opinion. Oh yeah Cotulla your the best. The next step (i hope) a ROM wich doesn't need windows? and thx NRGZ28
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brunoavrocha:
I think the next step is to have a battery management that makes it last at least a full day. Then we have a ROM for everyday use. Untill then....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
This is one of the most interesting posts I have seen here in a while.

Reply is clear a no.

Qualcomm Inc. makes big efforts to add support for the snapdragon (qsd8xxxx) platform in the official mainline kernel.

This means the operating system on these devices will virtually never be outdated.

And regarding userland (that's everything above kernel/driver level, including android ubuntu etc.) you do not have to worry either. As you already mentioned there are other deivces with our same chipset like the desire/bravo. So we can steal rootfilesystems from these devices.

This is what you see being done right now. In future it will be better to compile android from scratch and add the device specific things on top of that.

So to conclude:

The snapdragon world faces a rich linux future.

Hi All,

I'm using a TMOUS stock rom, Dan's Froyo build and radio 2.10.50.26. Seems that most everything works and works well with the exceptions of those items that the Devs are currently aware of. At present, the only real issue stopping me from using Android as my default OS is the battery charging issue.

I have an extra battery so I'm not really concerned about consumption but I am still having issues charging. I've powered off the phone, plugged it in and powered back up per the faq's but I still have an issue. I am beginning to wonder if it is a fault with my hardware now although I've tried different cables and chargers.

Is there any crossover effect with regard to battery? What I mean is, will the battery charging issue with Android effect WM? If not, I might have an issue with my phone itself.

Also, the link on post 3 to http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Cotulla_LEO..._WLAN_DATA.rar is bad. Just an FYI.

Thanks to all the Dev's & testers out there. Android is a welcome addition to my buggy WM6.5. Looking forward to WM7!

Cheers.

I think It could not be made into a rom until the video recorder works too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
It will not freeze if during boot you don't have a "turbo curser". It may take several boots before the curser blinks at a normal rate. I hope the next Android build (V5) resolves this issue as it is a pain to reboot several times in order to make it stable.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Breakthecycle2:
My GPS seems to work...it grabs my location instantly and provides accurate directions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
You need to run an app that grabs the GPS coordinates rather than using something like Google Maps that also has a triangulate feature. No one on the dev side has talked about GPS working. The triangulate feature works very well with Android as opposed to WinMo so it can be very deceiving.

that's bc u're on wifi or 3g, try to navigate and u'll see...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JamesRiot:
As soon as I went back to using Jmz's dual booter and stopped booting it up from inside WinMo, I stopped getting the turbo cursor roughly every 3rd reboot. Also, once I disabled sense and just used Launcher, it stopped freezing up on me.

I just wish SOMETHING would work for me to get rid of the robot voice. None of the fixes in this thread have worked for me, and my HD2 refuses to let me flash one of the ROMs reported to work (like Miri's or Energy) onto it. I get "communication error" every single time.

I'm trying my best not to ask for help, but I'm just about reaching my wits' end on this one.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] changochulo:

If you already did that and are still getting that error message, make sure you have active sync installed.

Sync your phone/computer before you attempt the ROM flashing.

Hope this helps
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JamesRiot:
I did, multiple times. Thank you very much for the suggestion, though. I appreciate the help.

Maybe I just need to walk away from it for a day, and try to tackle it again tomorrow. I feel so retarded, because it's not like I'm inexperienced at this kind of thing. It's just, for some reason, this one detail is eluding me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nlo:
To get everything working on mine I first installed the latest Vodafone UK ROM from htc.com/support, then I installed the 3 or 4 minor updates from htc.com, then I installed HSPL3, followed by flashing Radio ROM 2.10.xxx with Custom_RUU.

I have no robot voice issues at all.

The Sense builds are really really slow and unresponsive no matter which kernel I boot with, however Dan's Froyo build with Cotulla's latest kernel is super fast and rock solid, the only issue I have is that 3g data is slow most of the time, but wifi is perfect.

Hope this is of some help to you.

no turbo mode without the metal back cover

hi,

i noticed that i do not encounter the turbo mode every time i boot to android without the back cover. what i did is i placed a sticky tape on the 2 metal thing that touches the back cover. after several reboots with the back cover on, i immediately noticed that that the cursor now blinks normally even when not plugged in to the usb.

well worth the try.. can you please check on your end and provide feedback? thanks!
