[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TX-Nick:
Some Google Apps Won't Update

I get the notifications from within or Market on on the Status Bar that updates are available, specifically for Maps (to 4.5), and for the gMail app. However, when I attempt to install them, the install always fails. Similarly, I am unable to install the Google Sky Map (?) application for the same reason.

I'm running Darkstone's FroyoStone Sense v2.

Any clues, suggestions, or ideas? :confused:

Try unmounting your sd card, this can be done in settings, and then reinstalling the apps. re-mount your sd card after installing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dblfstr:
Yes, un-mounting your SD card will do the trick. I cannot install any google apps until I do this. Google Maps, Google Earth, GoogleS kyMap etc.

Has anyone experienced significantly better battery life from returning their device for a new one?

1% batter per 1.5 minutes of browsing doesn't seen right to me..

Thanks.
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
Have you tried calibrating the power gauge? Run the battery until it dies, then turn it on again until it shuts off to be sure, and finally charge it turned off until it's full.

Some say to go eight hours, past the point when it reaches 100%, but I didn't and I still got some significant improvement.
[Captivate General] djgleebs:
yeah I've done that on two occasions and it showed slight improvement. What kind of battery life do y'all get and with what kind of usage? I can manage about 12-13 hours with push email and twitter, but I was hoping to get something close to an iPhone 4

Thanks
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I can go from 730am till 10-11pm at night. I use it moderately during the day and I have a twitter widget, facebook widget that update once an hour. I also have the sportstap widget and I think its set to update every 5 mins. I also use the weatherbug widget and not sure how often it updates. Some days at work I use it more (like yesterday) and it basically died right as I was leaving the office at 530pm. So its decent (better than an EVO) but not as good as a Droid X or Droid Incredible.

My friend at work has a droid incredible and he tells me he goes 2-3 days on his. But he's a very light user, mostly just uses it as a phone. The only widget he uses is the sense weather widget and he rarely ever surfs on it, etc.

I came to Captivate/Android from an iphone 2G and with my moderate to heavy use I could go for 2-3 days on it. I absolutely loved the battery life on it.
[Captivate General] djgleebs:
That sounds a lot more like the battery life I'm getting, thanks for the input.

hello everybody,,

htc hd2 vs t--mobile htc hd2.

which one should I buy? t-mobile must be better because 1 gb rom, but what concern me is the tip n trick for international hd2 more compatible.

the important for me is later there won't be any trouble using it or flash rom or etc..

thanks all...

Only difference is the 1Gb, other than that I think original Europe model is always nicer.

Good luck,

it depends, if your wanting to use it on tmobile, get the tmobile one, it has 1gb rom and two colored buttons :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kshin:

I just hope I am not choose wrong hd2.

I just bought my HD2 , and it says on box T-Mobile (white box) , do I have 1GB ROM or not? Cuz its EU version , with white hardware keyz (white light in background I mean) ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggs:
Are your two phone shaped hardware buttons colored? Green on the left and Red on the right. ;)

I think your ROM size can be found under Settings > Hardware, where it says Flash Size. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrjinglesusa:
The original thread is a complete mess and it's impossible to find posts detailing CONFIRMED bugs. Let's try to keep general discussion of the leaked 2.2 ROM in the original thread and use this thread for bug reporting.

THIS IS NOT FOR HELP/PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION OF THE LEAKED ROM. Only post here if you have the leaked ROM up and running and have encountered a bug.

Post here you think you have found a bug. If it cannot be repeated by multiple users, it's not a confirmed bug, but more likely an improper installation or software conflict of some sort.

If a potential bug is posted by someone and you can repeat it, please quote the original post of the bug report and "Confirm" in body of your post. If multiple people can confirm that they can repeat the bug, I'll update this post and list it. If someone posts a bug and you know a fix, quote their post with your fix (or link to thread with fix) in the body of your post.

I'll try to keep this OP updated with a list of CONFIRMED bugs and fixes if one is known. If your bug is already listed here, please don't clutter up the thread by posting it again..

CONFIRMED BUGS

:

1)

Some purchased apps will not show up in the Market

. Fix here

2)

Multiple reports of recording in 720p in the camcorder causing a FC or screen freezing

3)

Multiple reports of problems with MMS

:

a) Handcent seems to work fine (no reported problems with MMS)

b) Stock Messaging appears to be hit-or-miss (MMS works for some, not for others)

c) Chomp seems to work for some people, not for others

4)

Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies

. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=738188)

5)

Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading

(confirmed by multiple users)

6)

Streaming Audio Quality

: "decline in audio on pandora as i listen to it bluetoothed to my stereo and now the sound has a major decline in quality" FIX: there is a patch for that works, but it hurts the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though. Fix here. Use the UPDATED fix, not the original one (original one is only for fixing Market)

7)

Swype

: multiple users report that Swype will stop working (cannot "swype", only tap keys) after reboot. Others report no problems. Sounds like a Swype install problem for people having trouble? FIX: Toggling Input Method off Swype and back on Swype seems to fix the problem.

8)

Multiple reports of data connection dying off

. lower bars on data then dropping from 3g to 1x speed. Intermittent WiFi connection dying as well.

9)

Multiple users report poor battery life

Maybe add to #4 about Gmail that once you copy the fixed gmail.apk and reboot, you may get infinite Force Closes from Gmail. It happened to me. The fix is to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Gmail -> Clear data. Then you'll have to open Gmail twice to get it to work.

Quick question, does anyone have the ACTUAL 2.2 OTA update that is signed and completely untouched from HTC that would flash using a stock recovery? All we seem to have is the modified / rooted version, ide like the legitimate copy if possible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
Of course its out there. However you won't have root if you use it. The rom is EXACTLY the same as if you applied the OTA. Except a little older radio and you get to keep root.

Plus it has the same bugs... At least VZW/HTC knows what bugs this has, 5300 beta testers so far. The official OTA should be flawless.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jfair9:
Anyone else having an issue with Wifi? I installed the new radio, rooted and installed 2.2 as advised. Everything appears to be working fine for me (camera, Market, etc..) but when I attempt to connect to the same router that was working when using 2.1 it keeps looping at 'Obtaining ip address ...' but will never establish a connection. I googled Froyo 2.2 wifi obtaining ip address and got several hits for other phones running 2.2 but nothing so far for the Incredible. Any thoughts? Anyone able to get wifi working?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
I never once had any issues with wifi. Grab the logs and send 'em to me and I'll see if I can find anything.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
hm and you have tested to make sure this was the kernal? i havent seen these issues listed for the kernal.

It should use less battery because it is undervolted. you can also try FFolkes kernal (i would go undervolt but thats me) and see if it does better for you.

otherwise we will have to wait and see what a dev says. You may try mailing Netarchy and seeing what he says doesnt seem like it should be a huge problem to make with the work he has already done but i could be wrong.

I flashed CM6 version RC1 and now my phone wont sleep. Everything in running services is sleeping so doesnt that mean it has to be something in the background? I check the battery stats and the screen bar is full while the others only show a small percent of usage.

Under battery history the major thing seems to be network usage/android system with half a blue bar and then a full red bar. Not sure if that helps.

Running services is 25%

screen on is22%

I am having trouble figuring this out is there a good tool that could offer some guidence or is there a slick way to trouble shoot?

Sorry I know its not sleeping i have been monitoring it very closly for the last few hours. CM6 doesnt work like 2.1 it doesnt show up time and down time it just shows one time. So i have been monitoring how long its been on after a reboot and how long it shows its been running and everytime it shows its not sleeping.

If so, try changing your network to CDMA using Network in the market. Menu - Set Network - Force Close - Scroll to CDMA Auto PRL - Press Back - Black screen - the phone will come back to life when done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
The usual tweaks area already done but thanks maybe I missed something but I keep going back over things looking to find anything I might have missed and still nothing.

The basics are done though, the phone is already set to auto prl CDMA. Gtalk is off, with no auto sign in. I have the settings all setup the way I would normaly have them set.

Keep them comming maybe I missed something lol.

Thanks, for the help so far.

yuo can try getting SystemPanel. the paid app will let you see history and can show you what apps are running int he background and inactive. It will also let you pull up the top apps using cpu/battery which might help out. its a pretty nice program for the price.

I use it for a lot of troubleshooting and finding battery drain from apps.

EDIT : in CM6 if you go to about phone and then status at the very bottom should show up time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twilk73:
Thank you I will try that. I am really feeling like an idiot here lol. I have been looking at up time thinking it was telling me how long the phone has gone without sleep. Uptime is just how long the phone has been unpluged. With the old 2.1 roms you got two times uptime and wake time or something like that. Is there anyway to check my wake time?

Im gonna dl that ap and check it out thanks.

Here's the story, and I have searched the forums all night to try to find resolution, but unsucessful. Been trying for 4 HOURS!

Originally had stock HTC Sense with OTA 1.47 update.

Successfully rooted with FASTRX8's method:

[TUTORIAL] EVO Full Root|OTA Root|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing|for n00b's + videos

Wanted to update to 1.47 ROOT, and tried Whitslack's fully rooted stock 1.47:

How to start over: Fully rooted stock 1.47.651.1 in one shot (no adb!)

This was unsuccessful. Received the FAIL-PU error on the recovery image. Removed recovery image from PC36IMG.zip, and flashed again.

I now seem to have 1.47 stock again, as I do not have root access anymore. Thus, could not load my backup from ROM MGR.

THEN... I tried to use SIMPLEROOT 1.47 by Jiqqaman:

[Program] SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 Edition

UNSUCCESSFULL - Stuck on boot screen after factory reset.

THEN.... Tried to run HTC RUU for 1.36

UNSUCCESSFULL - ERROR 140

Where the hell do I go from here?

Hello,

Has anyone found a way to have the call screen go to landscape while in NaviPanel. Seems kind of lame to have it go portrait when in landscape mode already. Sorry if this has been posted already but I did some searching and didn't find anything. This is on a US HD2.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] I2eaper:
Bump... Anyone?
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
sadly not via software (or at least i haven't found it) If you use a car charger then it will more than likely have power on pin 1, ground on pin 5 and pins 2 and 3 will be joined together. You need to remove the join between pins 2 and 3 and create a new join between pins 4 and 5 (effectively grounding pin 4) This will launch the dialer in landscape from the navipanel. Only solution i have found. I presume the official HTC kit has this wiring also.
