I am having what I believe is an unprecedented WiFi problem. After some initial confusion caused by the first post telling me to type

mount -o rw,remount /system

when in fact what you should type is

mount -o remount rw /system (I believe)

I managed to install bcm4392.ko or whatever that is supposed to make WiFi work. It does make WiFi work, I can now use my neighbour's wireless internet. My own, however, is not accessible. It just says "Outside range" (or some synonymous phrase; the phone is in Norwegian so I don't know what it would say in English). However, if I switch WiFi off and on again, my wireless network is within range until I try to connect to it. The WiFi of my neighbour works great regardlessly. This is mdeejay's FroYo Z v1.0.

EDIT: In fact, the only reason it says "Outside range" is because the wireless network is saved. If I delete ("forget") it, it does not show up at all.

Other than this, the OS is working great. Good work!

Thanks for the reply, then i got it right.

I did make a format of my SD card just 2-3 weeks ago after i flashed my phone with the Swedish Artemis ROM.

I wanted to see this working so badly :)

Does you first text fades away when you start it?

Then the charging lamp goes on...

One go go then i give up:

First i downloaded FroyoStone_Sense_V3.1.7z and unrared it on my PC, then i moved it onto my SD card.

Then i taped once on the CLRCAD.exe and then on haret.exe.

Is there nothing more to it, or must i change anything to get it to boot?

Very big problem:

I use Darkstone Froyobuild and the latest 8. Oktober zImage with the WiFi module! WiFi is working but i can't connect to my network! It always says connecting and the scan and connecting and then scan again... it goes like this all the time!

I have no MAC Filter active at my router so that can't be the reason... I REALLY NEED HELP!!!

I had the Froyo build working on HD2 with old zImage and WIFI module (18/19 Sept I think). Radio = 2.12.50, Kernel = 2.6.32.9

Today I downloaded and copied to HTC HD2 the Oct 08 zImage and the Wifi module. But when i reboot, it doesnt boot into Andriod (just goes till "Jumping to Kernel"). Then everytime after a few secs goes to shutdown (blank screen) and restarts.

Anything more I have to do other then copy the kernel zImage and module at the right locations and reboot?

Please help, guide / suggest.

I have reverted to the old kernel and wifi module (18/19 Sept) and it works fine.

Please help, guide / suggest. Thanks for the help in advance.

New Kernel

I applied the latest kernel image and modules on the darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1 (18-August-2010)

Results:

- Tilting the device suddenly will freeze the gsensor for a bit, but it's delay is a lot shorter than it was before.

- Blue screens during boot.

- Out of the blue reboots, to the HTC logo as well as the Android logo. It switches.

- Applications gets stuck after a few minutes.

- When playing a game suddenly the whole device froze. Had to reboot.

- Wakeup will take like 7 seconds, which was 1 second.

I don't think I did it all good, or are there others with these problems with the latest kernel? I am currently switching back to the original kernel.

Note: I just realized I did not modify the startup.txt after applying the latest kernel. Could that be it?

I am realy locking for HD2 Ubuntu V0.3 but I am missing DCordes and any actual discussion about Ubuntu V0.3, no news since 2 weeks. Is there a hidden discussion somwhere else? On twitter, facebook, icr and htclinux.org I cant find anything.

I realy try to update HD2 Ubuntu v0.2 with latest kernel and modules from this guide: http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/UpdateKernel

But I am totaly linux noob and the guide does not work for me. There even is no zimage to replace on my phone or I dont find it and I dont know where to store the modules and how to "activate" them. Could anybody help please or guide me to the right place to ask?

Using Ubuntu only on HD2 for USBHost so I realy dont know how to do update processes or something like that on Ubuntu but need new USBhost modules.

Please anybody about HD2Ubuntu?

But first of all I realy hope dcordes you are fine.

VMWare Player or Server

Has anyone had any luck with getting a VM Player or Server like VMWare, Or VirtualBox to install and run on UbuntuV0.2?

Ive tried a coupled of methods but met some resitance in the respect of the Architecture and Display errors when trying to install them. So i figured i would ask around to see if anyone had any success stories?

Emulation!!! I am locking in this too.

I am still searching for a way to run any version of adobe photoshop on my HD2. I was able to boot and "use" win3.1 "win95" and "win98" on dosbox port HD2ubuntu.

Also try qemu and bochs on HD2Ubuntu.

Other 386 emulation experience on HD2:

Wimo:

-qemu runs win95 with great speed and huge memory, I tested up to 64 mb ram.

-dosbox (386 error if more than 2 mb ram used, runs Win3.1 and many dosgames...)

-pocketdos (great but commercial)

-bochsce

HD2Ubuntu:

-qemu (wanna try to set up)

-dosbox (runs win3.1 "win95" and "win98" with usbhost input mouse keyboard, usb-storage, whatever)

-bochs?

Android:

-qemu (runs win95)

-dosbox (runs win3.1 "win95" and "win98" with usbhost input mouse keyboard, usb-storage, whatever)

-bochs?

I have seen a great mobile VM Presentation vid with running EVERY system on every mobile phone system.

This is no complete list, just what I tested with a little sucsess.

If someone finds a way tu run photoshop on HD2 I am highly interested. Best would be on HD2Ubuntu because of USBHost.

Dont ask why I want tu run Photoshop on my phone, no useable, it would just make me sleep so much better...

But with Remote Desktop on HD2, Photoshop CS4 on Win7 is useable for sketching or correcting files for resending via remote is already realy useable for me on HD2 on Wimo great RDC and on Ubuntu with USB-Input (and output an a monitor or mobile beamer...). I still want to et my wacom cintiq 12 wx running on my HD2 so I can build a mobile graphic tablet based on HD2+Cintiq. I already build a lipo powered USB-Hub for mobile USB and charging Phone and everything and use HDD Drive and 5.1 surround usb car at the beach on HD2 ;-)

Crappy sound quality for call and recording.

So I have radio ver. 2.14etc and I have the FroyoStone sept 29 version. I have an iPhone 3gs and this HD2 and I compared the sound quality. I find it TERRIBLE in my HD2 when I updated my radio, but it's the only way for me to actually make the Android working without going to sleep of death.

Now my question is, does anyone know how to make the sound quality much more clearer and better for calls and recording?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chris1nielsen:
i have been using this radio (2.12.50.02_2) for a while now and it is the only radio that doesn't give me a SOD (of the ones that i have used) i have used 2.10.50.08_2 and 2.10.50.26. and my call quality is great, as good as on windows mobile. also it is probably worth noting that i am using Miri HD2 v19 winMo rom and FroyoStone v3.1 android build.

with this combination all works well except for the following things.

1. backlight is not automatically throttled using the light sensor (i don't think the sensor driver is included)

2. andriod starts to reboot occasionally after about a week (IT DOESN'T reset back to winMo though so that is a plus) i repeat this only resets android.

everything else works splendidly very fast, feels faster than my dads galaxy s and is easier to use with sense, no touch screen freezes, etc, etc, etc.

So i had complete success getting Ubuntu & Android working on the HTC HD2 all the way to the point of setting two ICONs on the home screen. Great work btw!!

I was wondering however, does anyone have a working install of QEMU & Windows 95? If so could i entice said person to send me a copy of their folder maybe in a email or direct link?

I know thats a tall order but finding a .img file is next to impossible with out trolling torrent sites.

Hi !

it's long time ago as I was here the last time, sorry for this, but I didn't have much time and so do only kernel stuff.

With the newest kernel from repo, the nand_boot=X paramater is no more needed. I pushed a autodetection for nand/haret. There is new stuff in the repo, too. First, the lightsensor power on/off is now fixed, and second the mic detection from headset ist working now pretty well. I hope we can fix the last problems like flash synchronisation and powermanagement on nand in the next weeks, too.

Have fun!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Markinus:
I would say we are in a pre alpha phase. And you can trust me that in the moment it's better that only the devs testing nand. If we have a good beta version, you get it. But nobody of us can say how long it takes. Take haret and use it, there it works pretty well.

Congratulations on the great work. I hope at some stage the devs will be able to look at the data disconnect issues some people are experiencing. there are quite a few threads now mentioning this problem especially with ppp, disconnecting and requiring airplane mode on off to restart. The 29th sept ril wrapper bought some improvements, but the latest kernels I tested seem to exacerbate the problem. Many thanks again.

Working for me was to put winmo into airplane mode and then start android, may not work for everyone, but it fixed the disconnects for me. Have you tried this?

As far as I've seen, all the American tmo hd2's have got the matrix of dots and lines.

Screen drivers

Hi all,

If the two different screens are using different drivers, then this should mean:

1. In Windows Mobile ROMs there are drivers for both (I doubt it),

or

2. Both screens are using the same driver, 'cause if they aren't, some ROMs would only work on devices with the first type of screen and some would only work with the second type. As far as I know all ROMs are working on all devices.

Am I wrong?

Keep developing, boys...! this Android porting is, with the WP7 porting, one of the main reasons I've chosen this device (N1 and Desire have touchscreen hw problems, and furthermore their OLED displays don't look so good imho - nothing similar to samsung's super amoled like the OmniaHD has...!)
