I upgraded to HD2 from HD the other day.

When I tap the wifi toggle switch in Comm Manager, it takes about 10-15 seconds for WiFi to be enabled/disabled. Is this common on all HD2? Because in my previous HD, toggling WiFi on and off doesn't take more than 5 seconds.

I'm using stock HD2 rom by the way, and has recently hard-resetted the phone.
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
I have read on other forums where users report that their built-in default music player stops as soon as they switch away from the screen and others say the have no issue. So I guess this is a mysterious bug. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas in trouble shooting this?
[Captivate General] allted:
no help here

Sorry mine won't turn off no matter what buttons I push. Matter of fact I can't figure out how to truly turn it off, all I get is pause. Without advanced task killer it just sits in the drop down menu, waiting.

I do have the other bug with it though, I can't sort by artist with a lot of music on there. 25gigs, hit artist and it crashes and says not enough memory. There is more than a gig free on both the internal and the external cards. Bummer.
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
As of today it now plays in the background. If I can figure out a rhyme or reason as to why it wouldn't before I'll report back.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Mine always played in the background. You must be confuse with stock video player which can't play in the background for obvious reasons.
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
Nope, no confusion. When the program "Music Player" is launched a task manager shows that it is running but if the companion program, (whos name I cant remember) is not also running then the music will not play in the background. The companion program is launched by Music Player when an audio file is started. It has a similar name to Music Player. I believe it is named Sound Player and it has the same icon as Music Player.
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
If you start a playlist or album or whatever in the stock player and hit the home key it will show the music player now playin in the notification bar (where you can pause or skip songs. If you go back into the program and use the back button all the way out the program closes.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Ok, now I know how you get confused. Sound Player and Music Player are two different apps. No, Music Player does not require Sound Player in memory. Sound Player can't play in background while Music Player can.

The only way to launch Sound Player is to use My Files File Explorer and open mp3 or other sound files directly. On the other hand, Music Player can only be launched from app launcher and it offers following additional features:

1. Support albums and playlists.

2. Support 5.1ch playback on headphones

3. Support playback on the background.
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
That was some odd notations I made while I had a task manager installed last week. I just tried what you said and you are 100% exactly right! Phweeeh thats a relief. I was worried it would go back to not working later. Thanks for the insight.
[Captivate General] waiting4gingerbread:
Mine skips a little bit when I use the stock camera app
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
My music player shuts off when I launch the camera app. Gingerbread I think you found a legitimate bug.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Does anyone have a replacement for sound player (not music player) that can run in the background? I'm sick of having streaming podcasts end when I need to do something else with my phone.
[Captivate General] E_man5112:
I listen to podcasts with Doubletwist. Heard good things about something catcher as whell (dog catcher maybe?)
[Captivate General] NikAmi:
I think that people who have very large music collections will find that the player shuts off when they go into certain applications. My feeling is that this is Android's internal memory manager subroutine figuring that the audio player is eating up way too much memory, most likely due to the database being loaded the entire time the player is running, and deciding to close that one program rather than ten others to free up the same amount of space. How much memory does your player eat up while running?
[Captivate General] DnSl4:
The Sound Player is opening instead of the Music Player

On my Vibrant, a .mpga file used to open using the Music Player but now the Sound Player is opening instead. My phone is completely stock, never rooted and no aps downloaded, but I can tell which player is opening: after the player opens, I close it and then press and hold the home key to see which program just opened by noting the first program name in the list of the 6. (The two player's interfaces look almost identical so it is easy to think that the Music Player is opening when the Sound Player is the one actually opening.)

Some possible clues to the cause: I had just used the sound recorder for the first time. It creates .amr files. The .amr files showed up in the Music Player's playlist, but the file wouldn't play; so I browsed directly to the file using Files, clicked on the .amr file and the Sound Player opened the file. But now the Sound Player its opening .mpga files instead of the Music Player and my Music Player's playlist is now empty. (At least that is what I think the sequence of events were.)

I imagine that resetting the phone to factory default would fix it, but I'll have to learn how to backup my address book, web favorites, and goggle map starred items.)

I posted here because I believe I have detected accurately what is happening (maybe not the cause, but the fact that the wrong player is opening), and you experts might be able to suggest a workaround or get the bug fixed.
[Captivate General] mehrvarz:
The mp3 must be in the music folder on the sdcard in order for music player to play in the background.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Not true. I've had music in other folders that got pulled into my music library.

Hello, please shed some light in my situation. I TRIED several droid builds like myns warm(on my vouge) and xandroid on my tp1. But recently This morning I loaded this up.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739730

And to my surprise 3d Hw accelaration is fully working! I was shocked how smooth everything runs and how smooth and fast the 3d apps run. so obviously this droid build has something turning the 3d gpu on. Ok, as for my question, Whick other build has 3d fully on like the onw on the above link posted? Unfortunately tge buikd us 1.6 and not enclair or froyo. But I rather have it since 3d is actually working. Can yoy guys please point me to the right thread with gpu flly enabked like thus 1.6 build. Thank you all. Amazing work !
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
Nearly if not all builds have 3d implemented in them within this sub-forum. For people who were only introduced to Android from eclair and froyo it was very apparent that hw acceleration was running much better on donut.

While trying to port hw3d onto eclair and froyo we weren't able to replicate the exact output and that is why hw3d stutters but works.

In short you wont find any other build running 3d aswell as donut. But i'm sure suilmagic backported the hw3d drivers since the xdandroid autobuild service dont support anything under eclair and further
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] siulmagic:
actually there was no back porting involved, if it was that i would have probly never tried donut getting up and runnig with hw3d, the only thing that can be vaguely be accredited to me is fixing wifi on donut ,what i did to enable hw3d in donut was to setup the kernel to build with donut driver enabled instead of eclair/froyo.

@SINN: you will have to just wait for the hw3d driver to mature on eclair/froyo, you were just lucky(i guess) that i got interested in donut and decided to sort of bring it up to date. But hey in the mean time enjoy my build's.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] SINNN:
I see. You did a incredible job. I never seen the Tp gpu fully work like now. Thanks for the info!

Getting this in Clockwork recovery after trying to get the Vanilla lock screen posted in the Dev section. I failed to type #exit before I disconnected the usb. When I went to hit unmount system I got this error. I've tried a nandroid backup from a week ago.. no go... gives me basically the same error.

My question is... can I reboot from this condition or what can I do to resolve this?

EDIT: Running the leaked 2.2 Stock rom if it makes a difference

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroEMT:
Hey guys,

Got an issue with my toggle switches on my today screen (wifi on/off, disconnect data, and flight mode). They were working just fine up until today, so I know that the issue occurred when I was messing with it today.

The error that I get when trying to use the switches says "The file 'JMLComm' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

Today, i did three things, one that I'm almost positive had nothing to do with it was added morph gear and a Rom for SNES. The other two were adding Bandswitch (didn't work the way I wanted it to, so I removed it) and added Setup Dial Up Enable Disabler, which didn't cut off the data connection after the time I selected. so I deleted that also.

Any tips or suggestions? thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroEMT:
well, since no one can respond to that, how about this.where can I look up to see if that file is still on the phone our just got deleted.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
JMLComm should be in the windows directory, a ROM file, so you will need to show all files, size on mine is 45k, attributes RM

There is also JMLTasks.exe, 74k, RM

Neither of them do anything when i try to run them. I believe they probably need command line parameters.

a quick google shows that jmlcomm is associated with enabling/disabling BT and WIFI (which makes sense)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroEMT:
yea, I saw that when I did a search, so im wondering what changed so I cant use my toggles.maybe if I were to reload the file on the phone it would fix it? or maybe theres something blocking it so I cant use it.im wondering how adding those two programs could have done that...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
its a rom file, so it is not removeable. you acn copy over it, using some file managers (resco, total commander) or use a cab to instal a copy over it, but the file would still be there 'underneath' the one you add.

Id be more suspicious that its a bad install of cookies home tab (they are the toggles you mean, right?)

I'd probably go for a hard reset and reinstal, but thats me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroEMT:
But would it take 2 weeks for something to happen? because CHT was the first thing i installed, and everything worked fine
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
oh no, it will be something that happened recently, but its often easier to start over than to backtrack. Plus rolling back the offending item wont necessarilly fix it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroEMT:
dang.alright.thanks, and off topic, I know, but when I do a hard reset, what all on the phone was preloaded that will get deleted?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Sounds like one of the things you install used the same file as your problem program. So when it was in stall it over wrote it and when uninstalled it deleted it causing an issue. When you hard reset it will take the phone back to your last flash, what ever was installed on the rom by the cook will be there but anything you loaded after the flash will need to be restored
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnifex:
did you ever find a fix to this? my phone just started doing this!

*edit* If you're using CHT & this happened just reinstall.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GilbertG:

[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
Make sure your battery has a decent amount of charge in it, you don't want to run out of juice in the middle of this.

You will need to have the android sdk installed, as you will need to use the adb tool.

Windows users will need to install HTC Sync in order to get the usb driver for the phone installed.

Part 1: In which we find that the Evo spreads easier than a Thai whore during tourist season

adb shell "rm /data/local/rights/mid.txt"
adb shell "ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd1 /data/local/rights/mid.txt"
adb reboot

Part 2: In which we find that engineers have no personality, but they make one hell of a bootloader

Put the files from Toast's Part 2, for nand unlock onto the sdcard (PC36IMG.zip, mtd-eng.img, recovery.img, flash_image)

then (after making sure the sdcard is remounted to the phone if you used disk mode to xfer the files):

adb shell "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/local/rights/flash_image"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/rights/flash_image"
adb shell "/data/local/rights/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img"
adb reboot bootloader

When asked if you want to update, say yes. Relax for a while, the update takes some time.

When the phone eventually boots back up:

Part 3: In which I find the whore, and make her install a custom recovery

adb shell "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/flash_image"
adb shell "/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"

After this you should be fully rooted with nand unlock.

I highly recommend going through Whitslack's Starting Over method to bring your software and radios up to date.

You're done.

Pity this only came to light a few days before people are going to be upgrading to a new OTA.

No, this will not work for anyone who updated to 2.2.

[EVO 4G Android Development] khshapiro:

[EVO 4G Android Development] netarchy:
The init scripts chmod 777 mid.txt on boot (this means that anyone can do anything to the file basically). By removing the file and linking it to mtd1, the chmod now makes mtd1 accessible by everyone after a reboot, which means that you can go directly to toast's part2 which starts with flashing mtd-eng.img.

Incidentally it appears the droid eris guys have been using this flaw to their advantage for a while as well ;D.

[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
You need to use an ADB shell for this using the Android SDK....

I tried to use the Evo-Recovery shell and received permission denied errors.

I am not a DEV by any means, and do not claim any credit for any of this. However, for people who need help, this may offer some assistance -- this is definitely the easiest root method out there.

1. Download and Install Android SDK - Learn Here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694250

2. Open up a Command Prompt by holding windows button & pressing R or by pressing Run and typing CMD.

3. Navigate your way in DOS to the Android SDK folder, then to the Tools Folder

4. Then enter in the code in part 1. After each line press enter...the line will repeat below it.

5. Follow Toasts Part 2 -- Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835 -- Video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUXTB0eydwE.

5A. Because you didn't do Toast's Part 1 of Root first (you used an exploit provided by the OP), you will NOT have a NAND Backup. Put the Custom ROM you want to load on your SD card, and after unlocking NAND protection and doing the wipes, load it from the custom recovery in lieu of restoring your NAND backup.

6. You're now rooted w/ NAND Unlocked!

7. I would then suggest going here, and running this so you have a fully rooted, stock ROM with all your radio/wimax up to date: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jrmithdobbs:
No because you need the engineering hboot to flash it since it's not signed by HTC.

No it doesn't, the permissions flaw looks like it is fixed in the leaked update. Anyone who updates to a nonrooted 2.2 will have to wait for a new root method to be found.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
Suggested Whitslack's 1.47 because with it, the phone is sitting in a state where you can wait until ROMS are released based on the official 2.2 update. Updating using anything else is fine, all you'll have to do is switch ROMS, which is a breeze after you're rooted.

Use the Toast method.... It is simple, looks like a lot of steps, but it is not. What will hold you up will be step 5N, IF this steps goes without a hitch than the full root method takes about 15 minutes.

Be patient with step 5N, Try different flash sites if the original one does not work. I tried 3 before going back to the original flash site, I guess the phone finally gave up its fight and worked.

Sometimes simple never works and you have to do it the hard way:o
