battery

Last night when I went to sleep my battery said 88% and woke up and it was about 58% or 59% 9 hrs later. Not bad. My wife's cliq xt use's more than that.

Anyone else have luck with thier battery?

Not an issue for me, the first thing I do with the Desire builds is turn off Sense anyway. I'd like the old Froyo build updated to have the full screen app and Qualcomm 3d support that the Desire builds have, it would then become my full time OS.

gps

i downloaded a battery widget app that was telling me that the gps was on, i tried some more apps that turned the gps on and off, is it possible that the gps on was what was draining the battery ?

also if it reconises the gps is it that the problem is decoding the gps antenna data?

hope this helps, i will get back on this after checking the battery drainage without the gps running.:cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kiteboarderni:
the froyo 2.2 builds are much faster and more stable for me than the desire builds. having no problem with this current Zimage, things like alarms are fully functioning, and no stupid lag from those screens on sense. Bring on GPS support is all i can say!

Good luck devs!

Does anyone else have a problem with the windows button not bringing up the menu in most screens? It works at the home page, web browser and market but inside of most programs downloaded or not the menu button just takes you back to the home screen. Anyone know a fix for this? I'm using the desire build 5.7 with cotulla's new zimage.

i've searched High and low to see if someone has posted it already and couldn't find a solution.

This is getting better and better.....using Froyo v.1 and 23/7 zimage.

Now that mark's put together a "useful-free" program list (thanks for moderating and keeping this such a well organised thread!)

I'd like to add these programs which are all working fine..

lastfm - really good free music streaming player similar to Pandora

Sky Remote record - says it all - tested and working fine (UK)

Footmob (latest version) - football from everywhere - works well

google earth

Ringdroid

Myplayer

All available on the Marketplace and free of charge

While I've been doing this I came across Rockplayer (avi player) but on the market it has two versions Arm 6 or Arm 7 - i've just been googling and it seems that the HD2 is Arm 8?? - can anyone shed any light on this or has anyone tried Rockplayer and which versions worked??

I agree with the both of you, I was just passing on the information. I am a fan of the no sense builds because I like to start off with a barebone OS and build it up myself with apps that I choose. I am still having issues with 3G for Dan's froyo build. Has anyone else had success with the new cotulla zimage? I'm currently running the desire build because I get 3G, but I want the Froyo build. :(

Hows the data connection on the 2.2 roms? Last time I was on 2.2 I had 3G data but the connection was very slow / laggy and just not as consistant as the desire2.1 roms. Does the latest zimage + 2.2 fix the slow data issues?

hey quick question... does the JMZ dual boot automatically run the CLRCAD.exe before Haret?? After updating to the newest zImage, my sound quality got bad. Now I have rebotic (incoming calls) again and echo (outgoing). I even tried going back to Miri v17 and radio 2.10.50.26 but no luck.....

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Blades:
If the speedy problem was that a value sometimes got divided by 0 instead of 4, how is it that quickly launching haret seemed to remedy the problem? Then again, before the speedy fix zimage, I did have a couple instances when the uptime counter seemed noticeably faster as time went on. At that time, I had screwed around with everything so much that I could lock up the ultra stable v5 with latest zimage. I attribute that to having setcpu apply settings (performance mode, 998 MHz) at boot.

Your right dcordes it doesn't really make alot of sense. why on earth you'd give money to someone who has put no work towards the goal before hand and someone like yourself who has put in a lot of work along with your other team members and gets nothing.

5-10 dollars should be something everyone can spare. skip a mcdonalds meal. decide not to go out and buy 3 energy drinks. buy one and donate the extra money.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mazzarin:
dcordes,

The general response that was given to offered donations earlier in this thread was very off-putting. Not in the sense that it made people not want to donate, but I believe you said something along the lines of "just donate to an individual person" and something like you didn't want to work under a project where someone controls funding and who is on / off.

This unguided approach to donations didn't offer a vision, nor did it offer an easy way to help fund this project. I'm donating for the teams efforts, great! But wait, do I donate to you? What about dev2,3,4,5,etc.? Is there a split? What is appropriate?

The WP7s donation thread was extremely straight forward. Da_G is our point guy, he needs a HD2 and JTAG equipment, donate to this PayPal account and he'll get things done. It offered a clear vision, a hope, and an easy way to donate.

If you create (or someone you designate - heck, I'll do it, or HD2Owner, who made the WP7S donation thread) a HD2 Linux Donation thread where the facilitator distributes funding equally, I guarantee you that you'll see a total donation amount that dwarfs the WP7 project.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rossimac:
this is so the truth. I'd be straight in there with my money.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sheraz150:
dcordes,

I understand where your coming from, but I think the reason your not getting many donations is because people want to see android on the HD2 first. I understand making the linux kernal was hard work, but thats something the average user can do nothing with. Now if you got android working on it, or even booting up. I'm sure many users including me would be happy to donate.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
The way it was sounding earlier in the thread, people were waiting for you to ask for donations. I'm sure if you made a clear statement of what your plans for this project are and what you think is able to be finished, and requested donations, you would get a lot more. It'sstupid that da_g got so much for what he hasn't even done yet, yet you haven't gotten much for work you've already done. But thats how people are... if there's a certain goal to be reached money wise for a certain thing, people are more willing to donate. I think da_g is going to get a lot of pressure from people to get something accomplished, though... and i think some people who donated to him are going to be very disappointed if he doesn't accomplish what they hope he will.

Anyways, if you ask for them, I'm sure more will donate. Also, once android gets on it, you'll probably get more. You definitely deserve it. I plan on donating at least $40 to you once I get some money I'm waiting on in a few weeks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bodybombs:
but you cant achieve android on the platform without the linux kernal first, this was explained in the first post.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nimche:
Whether he got the Ando working on HD2 or still working on it, they deseve the money. At first he thought that people who has visited the thread and intrested in this development will help out with their funds without asking but that wasn't the case. From all the people who voted to the thread around 1080 wanted to have Ando on their HD2 and these people are the only people working on this Linux-Ando thing together. I don't know how many of them working only on Linux Kernel but I am sure dcordes working on ANDO for sure.

What if you "dcordes" talk to all the devs working on this and come to an agreement to work on this as a group and then whatever donation you got divide it between Ando Group. All we need is one account(paypal) to donate and you guys take care of the rest.

I bet dcordes got a booted Ando on his phone.

What a wonderful day.

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ozkaya:
dcordes,

couple of pages back I offered we set up a seperate thread for donations and keep track of them and you were unwilling about that. but that's how it should be made, really. people need a goal amount and say, yeah, that's my name on the list, I'm a supporter and be proud ;) even tech sites donate to be on the list. and you won't be offering something yet to be done, there is already much progress like a working kernel. just my 2 cents ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jubeh:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chaps:
Dcordes, I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to chip in with donations, but you yourself have discouraged this in this thread;

Also your sig suggests that dontations to you go to no specific project. This could be seen as discouraging to the potential donator. Perhaps modify you sig and add a second donation link that will go towards getting linux on our HD2s.

I'm happy to donate $10 now and a fair chunk more once I've finished moving house and hence have more cash. If someone is going to keep track of the donations I'd prefer to wait for that but if that's not the way you want to do things then I'll happily just send something your way now.

Just post on here with clear instructions and we'll follow them :)

Desire build is ripped from an HTC Desire. It is Android version 2.1 (Eclair)

Froyo build is probably ripped from a Nexus One. It is Android version 2.2 (Froyo)

Froyo is a newer and much faster Android version. It is currently only available on Nexus one officially. Other newer phones will get it eventually.

HTC Sense is the user interface on top of Android. Desire builds have it already. It can be disabled for standard Android interface. Normally there was no froyo build with sense, Dan (Dan1j3l, Danijel) was working on it, but due to legal reasons he discontinued it. (Android is open source but HTC Sense is propriatry and belongs to HTC Corporation) Dan said he will continue working on froyo builds without sense.

I personally believe Sense UI is crucial for Winmo but unnecessarily slows down Android. Android's own standard launcher ui is fine by itself.

Flashed the new ROM 'dan1j3l Froyo Desire build PR-1' on my T-Moblie HD2 running Miri V17.

3G worked right away with out even having to input any settings.

Was Able to sync to Gmail account.

The overall experience was smooth, but felt a but slow.. but GREAT achievement.

Was able to connect WiFi with out any issues.

Issues:

Could not connect to my Work exchange server. Kept saying that the settings were wrong even before trying to connect. If this one is fixed, I guess we have a Very Stable build.

One other Issue with the call. The other person was hearing a lot of disturbance on the phone where as it was very clear on my end.

The upcoming versions should be more stable and snappy...

Thanks a Billion to the entire team who have/is working on this project. Looking forward for better build.

If you're fine with desire v5 and feeling lazy, don't change. I've tried both and I prefer a clean Android build like Froyo, but as Desire v5 is working so well, I won't change it soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
Test them all, see which one you like.

Performance wise, Froyo without sense (standart) is fastest. It only doesn't have full screen app function. (Title bar doesn't hide) But it will be fixed. Sense UI looks nicer for some people, but slower and currently there is no uptodate fully working froyo with sense.

Make sure you get latest zimage from cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android and replace it with the one that came with the build.

Are you useing the sense overlay? In that case I think under settings (win button and then sync) you can choose what syncs automatically, un tic anything that you dont want to sync automatically and then to sync each application individually as and when you want to go to that ap and using the win button again or clicking on the 'last synced' info at the top this should allow you to control it..
