Im having a problem with USB Mass Storage Mode.

Energy ROM, 2.10 radio.

Desire v5 and mattc Froyo with Sense v1.2 both have the same issue - when I plug in the USB it charges but doesnt prompt me to switvh to USB Mass Storage Mode. When I drop down the notifications there is nothing from USB there to click on to mount it.

When I check Device Manager on my computer it shows the HTC Leo storage device but shows no volumes. Same in windows Disk Management.

Any ideas?

The original desirebuild_v5.7z file contained the files as shown in the picture I attached.

So I'm not confused about anything. fact remains there's still a big difference in system.ext2 from the original desirebuild_v5.7z with the new system.ext2 mentioned above.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mrtq:
Jealousy is correct the ne ex2 is patched for gps, i have installed it in my darkstone_HD2Froyo_v1.7z build and it does work. So gringo313 are you sure about that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gringo313:
Me my system.ext2 is 150 mo where or how patch system.ext2 plz
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iznogooood:
The size difference may be due to Sense, available in Desire_V5

Dear all Thaks for your job it's fantastic now I have a problem with backlignt keypad. how to disable backligth keypad function?:confused::confused:

Use any Energy Rom as all of his have it disabled. I had to switch to it from the CleanEx Rom on the advice of another member.:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curci:
ok thanks for your help.

Now I have the last Chuky Rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pappagallo:
Thanks, makes Sense :D

In that case I won't replace system.ext2 on my Storage Card, because I suspect that things will not be working anymore as I like it.

I'll wait for an update for the Darkstone Eclair Desire Build.

I feel like I have a new phone.

SetCPU tweaked for OnDemand made a big difference for me in terms of battery life. Recommendable.

So looking forward to the first new builds with Cotulla's GPS cooked in. That said, I haven't finished reading all the new pages since last night when I checked out. So. If someone's already crossed that benchmark...apologies for the idiocy.

Will be caught up lickety spit...

i was really annoyed that the keypad backlight wasnt working in android but i found a workarround:

simply install the KeypadLedControl_v0.4.cab (search for it on xda)

But: Backlight will not turn off, even in standby
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sonny77:
your suspects are correct, i'm using the desire_v5 build too, i've tried to replace system.ext2 with the new one posted earlier, but the phone doesn't boot, it freezes at the bootloader screen.

Quick question, what would happen if I ran the android haret system from my phone and not a sdcard?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] palestinian91:
ok i am using darkstone Eclair Desire Build and when i plug in the charger that came with my hd2 it is not charging. It says it is charging in the settings. When the battery gets low enough it says something like not enough power, change charger to a wall charger. I was wondering why this is happening. Thanks

IS there a system.ext2 file for dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0 ?

I tried the one at 117mb but it wouldnt boot properlly.

This is one that has already had GPS patched into it.

Running senseless with the 25th zimage.

Also any good alternative satnav software for android, with preinstalled maps?

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maseo:
What version zImage are you running? The 23-7 version should've fixed this + the turbo mode.

If you can't / don't want to update this, boot the phone with the charger connected. This worked for me before i updated the zImage file.

Could someone please confirm if the compass actually points at the right direction? I know it moves, but it gives me incorrect readouts as to where I'm facing - but i'm not sure if it's because of interference.

Just donated to the devs keep up the great work guys will donate again! :)

For the rest of you, you should do the same these devs are unbelievable at what they do lets give them some support
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pappagallo:
You can copy it you your phone by connecting your phone to the PC via USB when running Windows Mobile.

You can copy the file to the storage card of the Phone, and replace the old one.

However, if you should be doing this at all, depends on the version of Android you're using.

The file you can download from rapidshare that was mentioned earlier, does NOT work if you're using the Darkstone Eclair Desire Sense version of Android !!!

So, if you're not sure what you're doing, it's better to wait for a new build of the Android version you like :D

I’m still waiting for a stable build for a everyday use. What I’m looking for is clear loud calls from both lines, increase volume, and of course the battery issue. Once they reach that, I will be giving a huge donation. I’m in shocked how fast is coming along.

As Pappagallo said, if you want to try, you have to overwrite the system.ext2 with the new one when you are connected via usb to your pc in wm environment, but I suggest you not to do so, because with the new system file, the phone doesn't complete the boot process (Desire v5)

We, as HD2 owners, all have paid the software license fee of WM 6.5 to Microsoft and the hardware price to HTC while buying this awesome piece of hardware and it' s our "right" now to enjoy our HD2s for a longer period... So HTC, please release the drivers/codes to public to help the community who are working on porting Android to HD2, which will cost you nothing but make many people happy, just my viewpoint...

What about a massive email to HTC, togther, we can MAKE it no?

What do we need exactly?

Isn't it a good idea?

(@dcordes : It was a question of the interview we aren't going to do :()
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nimche:
If you think too hard then you may realise that HTC won't give you the source files. But we should try to live for our existance, then you need the list of important file that are required for this project.

I am not a WM developer and have no information on building ROMs and setting up OS on any phone and we could probably use some of the Dev's suggestions on this and comments whethere they think this might get to an happy ending with HTC and if YES to give us the list of stuff they need to complete this.

I am not even sure if Android Developers for HD2 need any source files or its all trial and error?

Could someone elaborate. All we want to do is help to make this project happen.

Cheers,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Finezt:
I think you'll have to come with good arguments to step to HTc to get the drivers or if you'll ask for a full working kernel

i think Dcordes ( or someone with the knowledge of developing Android on HTC windows models ) should call them up and come with reallly good arguments so that they have no change to say no so that they have to say YES :D

that would be great and better then e-mail contacts cause you have to wait for a reply and they could discuss everything with other peoples

when on the phone they have to give straight answers

hope ya'll understand my point

Just say it's a schoolproject or something like that ( LOL )

sorry for my english
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Oberoth:
the most important thing is to ask the wright sources.

the normal HTC eMail-Support cannot give you anything.

Thats the problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qs2010:
however, it could be an excellent idea: us all 'bombing' HTC technical support division with an e-mail with questions!!!?!?!?! :)

1) Someone for the technical text to request? ;)

2) and Someone know the right email address from a technical manager / director within HTC? :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ozkaya:
I think asking HTC support either by email or phone is useless. Regardless of what you ask they will most probably tell you to hard reset your phone and keep an eye on the ROM update page ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pappagallo:
I'm not sure.

I suppose the best thing to do is to check the filesize of system.ext2 on the Android version your using (the file on your Storage Card).

If it's 117MB then it's probably safe to replace it with the NEW system.ext2.

As always, if you're not sure, it's best to make a backup of the original one :D

Thank you. :)

I am relatively new here, i have visited the site many times for different roms for different devices, but i have to say it is unbelievable how fast the android port has come along, you guys are AWSOME, it went from a theoretical movie player demo, to a semi stable, but non functioning phone os, to a fully functional build, that I have been using for days now as my only mobile phone for work and home without a glitch! All within a matter of weeks! As soon as I can spare it I will donate! You guys have made the HD2 AWSOME!

Program Layar on Android acts weird

Just thought I should post that something is wrong with the live view function when using android. I use the Desire build and tried this program called Layar that seems to set out like a grid to let you know what you're looking at. The whole time when doing the live view thing it FLICKERS green. You can still see what you're looking at, but it always flickers green. Only on this app so far as I know.

Stock T-mo rom with 2.08 radio. As a side note, I tried Mattc's release which is based on Darkstone's Froyo release on an 8GB card (been using a 16GB), and it freezes up, BUT comes back to life after a waiting a bit longer and hitting the end key some more.

Both cards are formatted FAT32, but as stated, no problems before on the 2.1 release. 2.1 was actually fine for me, but wanted to try 2.2 since I heard there was better battery life.

Well give it a go and see what happens then ;)

All the large files NEED to be on the storage card and running the haret from device memory wont make it run any faster so there really is no point in doing it but if you want to then go ahead and satisfy your curiosity :)

Hey guys,

I just want to clarify something because there seems to be a lot of confusion going around about the system.ext2 file. The system.ext2 files is specific for each build therefore the patched system.ext2 file that has been provided will ONLY work with darkstone's froyo v1. Everyone else will either have to push the file themselves through adb, wait for the system.ext2 file specific to your version to be posted or wait for the cooks to update their builds!!!

Please dont lye. That's why we see lots of thread.

Call quality is not the best. you think you have clear calling but the other person hears you low and sometimes echo if you get a bad connection.

I am on it right now with my girl and she can hear me fine. Says it sounds better then before, she did say I sound louder then normal but no idea what that is about.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dtailor:
I have been using the Darkstone Froyo build as my permanent OS for 2 days now since it was released and it has been great although I'm having a few problems with it:

1) The call quality is pretty good at my end but at the other persons end there is lots of echoing. I have tried many different ROMs to counter this problem and have now stuck to the Energy Reference ROM which has given me the best call quality but the echoing remains no matter which ROM I use.

2) The WIFI works for around 15 minutes after I turn on the WIFI but afterwards it remains on still but an error message appears claiming that it has lost data connection. Am I meant to leave the WIFI on before I boot Android or off?

3) The sound on the Android is much quieter compared to the sound on Windows. I always leave the volume high before booting Android. The greatest level volume for alarm or ring tone is not really enough to be heard.

If anyone could fix these problems, it would be great.

Thanks,

dtailor
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nzxtneo:
Liar!

Just kidding :D

The biggest call quality issue that has been reported in the latest builds is low(er) volume on the side of the person receiving/calling the HD2.

And people have been using the Louder Volume Hack by Metlus in the Android Market for a temporary fix.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ala380:
