Do you just feel v1 is better or are you actually using CurrentWidget and comparing your results?

I have used all the battery conservation tips and my battery life has never been better.

My CurrentWidget readings when the HD2 is on standby averages 7 - 8 mA (on the mattc Leo Sense 1.7 PPP build).

Same happend to me for 2-3 times. I even think that i killed my backup battery this way. Well it's dead for sure after an android night on my phone, althoght I'm not sure the android is the reason. I'm runnign Froyo Sense (02-09-2010).

I dont have any issues with the battery life. My original question was when i tilt the phonr, the auto rotate is not working on froyostone v2.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nzxtneo:
right...

So, your saying auto rotate does not work on the HD2 at all or just not on the homescreen?

Open messages and see if auto rotate kicks in then. If it doesn't, then reinstall my friend.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Chitown021:
That was me with the question about battery life. I never ran any tests with specific numbers but I could just see that V2 was draining my phone much faster then V1 clean. I switched back to V1 and am getting much better battery life. V2 was draining my phone at over 5% per hour in standby, with V1 I only lose 1-2%.

I might have to try some of those links you posted to see if I can tweak my phone for better performance.

Connecting HTC HD2 Android to PC

Hi Guys, I have installed the Android 2.2 on my HTC HD2 a week back. It is working fine with couple of issues.

1) When I connect my phone to my laptop, I can find Removable Disc in the system. But when I double click on that, it says that please insert the Disc. Can any one suggest me how to connect my phone to laptop and transfer files to and from the SD card. I tried installing HTC drivers. But did not help.

2) Bluetooth Headset not working.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nzxtneo:
You have to disconnect the USB cable (make sure you right click and remove device).

Then restart the device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akashnemani:
I tried resetting a couple of times but no luck. I see a few lines of text on a black screen, then the text fades away and then its black screen for a minute. Then the back light lits up for 2-3 minutes with gray lines. Then its a black screen all the way.

Hey guys, I have not had Android on my HD2 for awhile, mainly due to the issues it was having whenever the build was first released such as call issues (no Voice or sound), battery drainage, and the green notification light blinking over and over until the phone was rebooted. Probably some other stuff, but I don't recall at the moment.

I was just wondering where Android on the HD2 stands currently, and if any of the issues I've listed have been resolved, also, which build works best

There are dozens of different roms made by different developers. Personally for me I've gotten excellent results using Froyostone clean V1. Your performance may very depending on the WM rom, radio, and android rom you decide to use.

I run Froyo full time now on my phone and rarely go back to WM.

Volume Boost Needed for All Builds

All builds i've tried seem to have much less volume for the phones speaker than winmo does. I have 'no idea' how to write linux drivers for the hd2, but if there is a way the developer guys can make full use of the speaker that would be fantastic. I use 'coreplayer' in winmo a lot, and by using the equalizer in coreplayer correctly i have found the speaker on the hd2 is actually capable of some pretty respectful volumes - with clarity at those volumes. I hope there is a way Android can get cranked up so that the speaker gets fully utilized. I sure thank you guys for working on this project, it is such an awesome addition to the hd2, or should i say the hd2 is an awesome addition to whatever final perfect android build comes out for it.

Unfortunately no progress in git kernel development for the last 7 days, although there are some open issues: G-Sensor and Freezing, Battery Drainage

What is the reason for that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tsrzealot:
The reason is most likely that the devs are working hard on all those things + nand + whatever we don't know about or don't understand. Do you really think it's surprising for such a huge project (which is not even run by a professional company with money and other resources behind it) to not have visible (!) progress in a couple of days??? And I'm stressing the word "visible" here, because I'm sure that there has been progress, but usually, the devs make it available when it works, when it's usable, when it's an improvement.

So I'd say cut back your little attitude... geez.

Btw, you have read the news from 09/05/2010, right? Thats two days ago!!!

Another btw: Battery drainage is actually pretty good in the build I'm using. With SetCPU and moderate use of browsing, listening to music, making some phone calls and writing a few text messages, I get more than 24hrs of usage out of shubcraft 1.5 (with about 35% remaining after 24 hrs). I've been running it for 3-4 days straight now with no reboots and there hasn't been a single freeze or sod. So as you can see, those things are not necessarily a problem of the kernel. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that some of these issues might disappear when we can flash to nand... therefore: patience, young padawan, patience...

Edit: I really shouldn't have written that ;) I just had my first freeze. But hey, 3-4 days without freeze is pretty good and after the reboot, everything works fine again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Chitown021:
+1 here. The work these guys (and gals?) have done in their own time for free is truly amazing. It's been what about 4 months since they made the first big breakthru allowing them to boot Android on the HD2 and here we are with builds stable enough for everyday use!

Personally I've gotten the best performance out of Froyostone clean V1. I get a little over 24 hrs battery life w/ moderate use. I rarely have SOD or freezing issues. I do have fluctuating call & speaker volumes and a few other minor problems but nothing I can't live with while the developers make improvements.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] madindehead:
I also wanted to add my thanks to the team :) Been running Android for two days now properly on my HD2, and it is amazing. The work you are doing is incredible :)

I wanted to add to what people above have said about loudspeaker volume. Music volume on headphones was excellent, and call volume when indoors and somewhere quiet is pretty good. However, outside I can't hear as much as I would on WinMo. I realise of course, that we are still very much within the development phase. I hope that one day the speaker volume will be as good.

Thank you again for all the excellent work :)

And even when it turns on it's on for like 10 seconds then repeatedly bootloops... Won't get back to Chuckies WM rom. I've tried reformatting the SD card and renaming the correct folders. I'm new to the HD2 after being on a G1, so I'm not sure if I've bricked this or not... If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

start winmo

as soon as everything loads, make any call( i.e. costumer service)

change the in call volume push 1 down and then up to max vol ( call doesnt need to b connected, not even ringing)

Ubuntu request :: Netflix Watch Instantly?

Hi Dcordes,

I saw your video of upcoming Ubuntu v3 and it looks awesome. I've been reading it's not possible to play Netflix movies on Ubuntu with Moonlight due to DRM issues etc etc etc, but since dumb questions are my specialty I figured I'd ask if there was a way to shoehorn a working Netflix system into the next Ubuntu for hd2.

Do a search for media folder or something along those lines you will easily find the answer. or it might even be posted in the faq section try there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akilleez1:
here you go took about 25 seconds

No Ringtones or Notifications in setup (in DarkStone's Builds): Download the following file http://gamesquare.co.uk/media.zip (copy the link into your browsers address bar or it wont download). Extract the 'media' folder (make sure the folder has sub folders with the sounds inside those) to the root of your SD card. Now go to Settings, Sound and Display, Phone Ringtone or Notification Sound and they should be there.

if the link doesnt work its in the FAQ section

My HD2/ android experience.

I've had it about a month and was hesitant to flash so I stuck with WM until the latest build.

During that time, I would get the memory full error constantly. I fixed this by upgrading my sim card from the original one I got years ago. All my errors went away. When the newest froyo came out, I knew I wanted it. (VERY steep learning curve and I still feel dumb in here.)

I flashed Energy rom installed the latest froyo from Sept 2. I got robot voice so I changed radio to 12. Worked like a dream. I never saved any settings or data and wanted my contacts back. The only way to get mobile backup from T-MO to work was to reflash the stock build. I got my contacts and put them on the sim then flashed Energy and radio 12 again but didn't touch Android. It would freeze and would not do anything no matter what I tried or how long I waited. It was not SOD, just freeze doing whatever. I would get about a minute of use out of it then fizzzz. Pulled battery to restart. Solution for me: I flashed Chucky rom and now it is working like new again.

Do you mean an icon on your WM home Screen that will boot android for you? If so, it is just a .cab that you install in WM. Once installed it will ask where your android is (/root or /root/android). Once this is done it will always boot android and all your stuff in android will remain.

I have to politely disagree. I have had MMS working in every build for a long time. I'm on 02 in the UK and I've been able to send with RMNET & PPP since forever.

To get it working, I found the default settings never work. I use backup apn from the market place, remove every single APN and add one for mms & one for data in manually. When I update to a newer build, I have my 2 APN's backed up so I can erase and restore. Works every time. Maybe it's operator related.
