yes mate that's exactly what i need to do,ive just spent the last 20 mins following the steps on http://www.spritesoftware.com/Products/Migrate/Migrate-Your-Data-Now/How-To-Transfer and the damn app wont download properly in Android so im gonna try your recommendation and if that doesnt work ive had enough im gonna delete this build and try another where you dont have to do go through all this nonsense and the Internet connection is stable.

Thanks my frind ill give it a go and let you know the outcome
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
Kaboom ive already tried your recommendation several times but no luck.

What i did do and i finally thought i was getting somewhere was this

when the sprite migrate app failed to download from Android Market and when i done the above and booted back to Android the app was there BUT then i click on select data and it says "sorry,an unexpected error has occured,please try again or contact support"

ive tried again several times but no joy so ive had enough ive tried numerous different things and none work and ive spent more than enough time trying to sort this out so im left with no option but to delete this build and try another which is a shame as i really like this build but having to do this nonsense with the contacts is stupid,surely there has to be a simple way of doing things like this, not to mention the Internet connection constanly drops and most apps i try and download from the market will not download,im not having a go at the developer who im sure has put a considerable amount of time into this build which is to be applauded,however issues like this NEED to be addressed and resolved.

I'll continue to check back for any changelogs to this where i hope there will be some resolutions.

Thanks again to marty and kaboom and anyone else for the tips which unfortunately didn't work for me.

Green bar video playback

I did a search and this problem was mentioned in the past but it seems to reappeared for me.

When i play video ( youtube, streaming from any site) theres a greenbar on top of the video and the colour seems a bit off. It looks like there is an alignment issue with the colours causing 2 images. Does that make sense to anyone ?

Any suggestions on what be the cause ?

MAny thanks for anyones help!

ps: I dont remember this being a problem when i first installed the Android. Could it be an app thats messes the settings ?

@jonny68

was going to recommend you read post 6050 for directions for activesync... but you've already done that... (always read the faq! it had your answer before you posted your question)

good work

i started a fresh build. i copied gauner1986 zimage over the old one. when i boot up i get bluescreen. do i have to boot into android with the old zimage first, then copy the new one. im lost when it comes to changing kernels
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
been using it also since last night and I had a few hickups at first, but it's been running without reboot for past 20hrs, been charging and it is a little heavy on battery, but no lockups messing with wifi or apn. Data is also very fast on 3G and Edge for me today. Seems consistant too, not much data loss. Hopefully they continue on the EVO kernel and make it better...:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
happens sometimes, it did happen for me on first boot, then I went again. Data was kinda wierd, so I used wifi to setup, then when I disabled wifi, data was fine. After a little use it froze BSOD from sleeping/charging. Rebooted and it's been fine ever since.....:) More kernel updates should come soon and these bugs should be worked out... progress is good....especially with good working PPP.

TMO HD2 outside the US feedback

I took my HD2 with me to Greece. I had previously aquired the sim unlock code from tmobile. Once here I went with a Vodafone SIM and got the mobile internet package as well. I must say that everything looks good with this build. The one item is that in order to be able to access the internet I have to switch the access points between the default Vodafone one and the one that got created once I enabled internet functionality. Usually have to switch it around 2-3 times before it takes. Wish I could find some of these connection packages in the US. No phone dependency... just grab a SIM from your prefered provider and go...

Ambient Light Sensor does not seem to work

Hello,

the ROM is running smooth and without any problems except one, the ambient light sensor does not seem to work for me, so the automatic light adjustment is not working too. I already searched the ROM thread, but it seems noone else did report the issue. Is this only my problem?

I have the latest shubCRAFT and Chuckie ROM. Thank You.

Can not access some sites?

I've been trying various builds of Android and at first all was very promising.....until the release of the newer builds that is.

Ever since upgrading I am unable to visit the sky sports web page as the page tries to load for ages then says unable to connect. All other sites seem to work fine, just wondering if I've missed anything. Can someone try going to http://www.skysports.com and let me know if it works for ya.

Im on T-mobile UK and as I said ALL other sites work just not this one.

Any ideas??

Cheers

I tried it on O2 UK, slow G connection, and it never finishes loading. I tried to stop it but it didn't work. I tried Task Killer but that got hung up. Your test needed a reboot to resolve! :eek:

All through T-Mobile UK:

1) Windows Mobile 6.5 / Opera 10 on HTC HD2: works fine

2) Bangsters RMNET Froyo on HD2: never-ending spinner, 3G data broken after test, reboot required

3) Eclair on T-Mobile G1: works fine

4) Eclair on HTC Desire: works fine

5) Firefox on Windows 7 wifi-tethered through T-Mobile UK: works fine

So could be a Froyo issue, a T-Mobile issue, or an HD2 Android kernel issue...?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] veda_sticks:
ive found that advanced task killer is unable to kill some programs, ive had this happen before. IMO it should be removed from the build as task killers dont work properly and from what ive read can actually cause problems in new android version as they have much better memory management.

I bought advanced task manager when i had g1 and tried that . it was able to close programs adk couldnt.

I just close Advanced task killer. it just seemed to cause problems
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] whynot66:
works fine on vodafone uk
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stealth Pyro:
I just recently learned that you should not use Advanced Task Killer or any of the other task manager apps. Instead, just get Auto Killer off the market and choose one of the presets. The task killers do nothing for your battery and only interfere with the Android OS. Auto Killer takes care of shutting down inactive apps the correct way through the OS memory rather than force killing them, which is what most of the task managers do.

www.skysports.com crashing data conn.

Thanks for testing guys.

Just as experienced by hesian and maxh2005, when i try this site with the Android browser it starts loading but never finishes. Then the data connection dies and I have to either kill the app (which doesn't work either) or reboot.

Gonna do some more digging and try and find out why only that site causes this. (Besides, I need to check the football news and it was working sweet as a nut before!!)

Possibly something T-mobile have done, but it seems to load perfectly well in Winmo, just not Android.

P.S Also tried it in Opera on Android and it was fine there too, so who knows!!!

Isn't the ambient light sensor the same one that is used to shut off the screen during the call?

Also wanted to post that after switching to shubcraft RMNET stock my data is working 100%. I barely could ever get data to work with the PPP build. I don't notice much of a slowdown but considering I couldn't even get data in the first place anything that is stable is good for me. I'm using the latest zImage and modules as well.

Hi. The battery issue is definitely fixed by charging while off but I still get a green light at 90% everytime. The battery does keep charging. The battery icon looses the z at 90 aswell but atleast the lockscreen continues to say charging.

Two different sensors. Ambient light as well as a proximity sensor - which is the one that turns off the screen during calls.

All works (Shubcraft - non stock), though the touch tones do not function, screen lock tones to not work, and i can't grant a certain piece of software some access, so i can't set my own icons for certain shortcuts on the home screen (Desktop Visualizer)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
I wish people would just realize that a search takes less time than typing out their question and details and checking and interacting with others to see if someone can help. The answer can be found with a search. Especially 99.9% of them about Android and HD2's...hehe. Oh well, live an learn.

Also I like to look at users post to see their first post on XDA. It's fun and everyone has a funny noob question for first post...try it, it's good fun. I should start a post of "First Posts" and include ones from the Moderators.... They were noobs once too...hehe

Haha that's a good idea
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jason370:
so ive searched and although there is a great deal written on installing the newest kernels and pairing them up correctly, and although ive read all of it i am still unclear on how, what where and with what i should get and install new kernels.

i simply copied this build to my sd card, rad clrrad and hartet and i magically had/have android working on my phone. i keep readinf about updating and pairing kernels though and i suspect this can only help performance on what is a somewhat fragile (but extremely impressive) os at the moment.

i guess a good question might be, which kernel would be best for this build and where should i install it? the thing that confused me most was reading "place the kernel in the right folder". i dont know what the right folder is, so this makes it a bit more difficult.

thanks and please let me know if this is inappropriate subject matter for this thread. i will gladly move it elsewhere if need be.

jason

UPDATE:

i've found this link, which basically is the same as everything else ive seen. http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/UpdateKernel

so " startup.txt ", is this s txt file in 'windows/startup', and would it be hidden? sorry, this is my main stumbling block currently.

thanks,

jason
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
this is a great question. The latest kernel right now on the git is from 8/31. However others are compiling their own kernels.. It shouldn't hurt to try them as long as its for the leo. I posted gauner1986's a few pages back, it's based off of the EVO and is ok, but quite a few bugs...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] odoss:
Well i see that he's stadying good luck for him, but i see other people enjoying others builds and they keep updatings them while shu8i is not here , i must agree that the FG33 builds ( new android build ) are GREAT very stable and fast, the only probleme i have is : the overheat and it reboots !!! i don't understand why ? ) but with the last 1.5 shu8i's build i don't have this problem of overheating.

My MAJOR problem now is

overheating

sometimes i want to throw it away i'm so sad :( ...........
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuesdayd:
You've got a head start there in that link you just posted.

Startup.txt is a file in the Android folder that gets copied to the root of your SD card.

Here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756513 is some good info from michyprima - one of the kernel devs. These are the guys down in the trenches, so to speak, getting Android to run on HD2.

In a nutshell...

You download the latest kernel and modules from your source of choice - each dev is working at their pace and their priorities. They do communicate with each other, so they aren't working in a vacuum either. So depending on what is important to you will determine which kernel development you want to follow. Or, you can just wait until the build you use gets updated.

To actually update...(this is from copenhagen)

http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/

download zimage-latest and modules-latest.gz

-rename the zImage-Latest to just zImage then copy/overwrite the zimage file at /sdcard/android/

-Download and unzip (using 7zip) the modules-latest.gz go through the whole archive and set aside all the .ko files. Copy ALL the .ko files to /sdcard/android/root/system/lib/modules

boot/reboot android and during the bootup android will move all the .ko files to the correct system folder (no messing with root/terminal/adp etc required)

And here's some more good info from another of copenhagen's posts...

For those of you who are updating the zImage, its kind of important that you also update the modules as well; heres why-

Three Things to know about the Linux kernel - http://xdaforums.com/show...91&postcount=3

1) The Linux kernel is the center of your of your operating system. Its core is seated in the kernel image (zImage file - the z means it is compressed). It contains most of the drivers.

2) Some drivers go external via Linux kernel modules (.ko files). E.g. in the HTC HD2 Linux kernel, the WiFi module is supplied as bcm4329.ko

3) The kernel image and kernel modules are made to match. They need to have the exact same version. This means if you pick a random .ko file things might go wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jason370:
thanks! that was exactly what i needed. i't really funny how you just said the exact same thing as every other posting on how to do this, however you added one or two words which made it crystal clear. i'm a pretty good baker when i have a clear recipe to follow but when you dont know exactly what you are doing, that ambiguity is a killer. and since the consequences of mistakes can mean hours or setting up ones stuff, this clarity is really appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuesdayd:
Glad it helped. If you take a look at that post again, I re-formatted it so it's a little easier to see what I pulled from copenhagen's posts (no need to re-write what's already been written), and I added a little more from copenhagen, too.

Did a Search for "blinking green orange" and got this Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

So, anyone else had any issues charging their phone since updating to 1.5? After my screen freezes and I have to take the battery out of the phone and put it in and boot up again, I noticed the phone wont charge. It appears that its telling me that it has the charger connected since it begins to blink with an orange and green light, but it doesnt actually charge the phone. Is it just me? or anyone else? Is there a fix?
