[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
Been running Android for over a week now and this morning when pulling the phone of the charger I noticed it was only at 89%. This is from a full overnight charge.

Got to work and it had dropped to 85% (Watching videos) and plugged it into my laptop at work and it again only charged to 89%

Anyone else had the same issue. Will cut back to Windows to see if it goes further.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] digao100nocao:
Hello dude!

Try removing the battery, wait a few minutes and put it again. See what happen.

Sometimes it is a error when the driver is "reading" the battery settings/status.

Hope it help!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ilovepiaggio:
Same with me, only 90% with all night chage
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 20tibby_gt06:
Same here mine will only charge to 93% while charging overnight
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
Rebooting into womo and it then proceeded to charge to 100%.

Not a major but a bug that needs investigating.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] S3BAZ10:
also had this issue a user responded to me on the builds thread, he said to let it run down to 5% and plug the charger back in. also the one about booting to wm then back on android should fix it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
Same here at 94%. Seems to be a common problem...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] swaser18t:
im getting 96%.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dacesilian:
Yes, I've got a same problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HD2_Noob:
I've heard that no Charging-Stop exists (in kernel), so you may "destroy" your battery because it is overcharging :(... so be careful ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bakedbread:
mine stops at 93%

yeah im a bit scared for my battery...ive been charging it almost twice a day now cause it dies so fast

i even have SetCPU with the profiles from the other thread, but its still draining REALLY fast...

i hope this doesnt have any permanent damage to the battery :S
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] swaser18t:
where did you hear that? can you confirm?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wrathlon:
The no stop sounds like complete nonsense. For one, it would be an obvious massive problem so the devs would have worked on it. Two, if you can detect battery charge it would be really easy to make it stop. Three, if it didn't stop, why did it used to halt at 98% for most people?

also battery working in read only mode, it's why during long android usage u can get wrong results. Will be fixed in future.

Hard reset..is only one solution

Actually _everyone_ can get this problem - after reboot u won't able to launch any external exe (exe from rom will work).

It happen because something sometimes can be corrupted during WM shutdown...

I got this problem two times Both time need to hard reset device.

So I recommend to everyone make backups!

So is it confirmed that robot voice (apt voice ) issue fixed now?

confirm problem

I have the same problem. HTC wildfire.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cquintus:
Try recalibrating the battery:

1. Turn off all uncessesary apps in the background.

2. Let the battery of the phone run out until it turns its self off.

3. Take out the battery for 2 minutes

4. Put the battery back in and charge the battery until it is fully charged "At least 4 hours"

5. Once it has charged take the battery out for 2 minutes then put it back in and boot the phone up
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sgiedrius:
I managed

The phone was on and charging all night and it was at 97%. I turned off the phone and left it plugged for couple of hours, on and its 100%. Simples

No problem. Glad I could contribute something useful. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] METHOD1911:
Can this be used with a froyo. I'm guessing no because my widget has 6 setting.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
don't think it will work with froyo. the .apk's that get mods are different.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] damiandarkwater:
Will it work on stock?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
Should work on stock since flipz based Fresh off stock 2.1

do a nandroid, then flash it and see... :)

I installed this morning on ZenHero and it works great. I especially like it in conjunction with LauncherPro's new ability to resize ANY widget!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
Could you post a screenie of that "in use" ? I'm curious what it looks like. I just can't seem to peel myself away from sense. Everytime I load a different launcher, I go back to sense 'cause I like the way it looks and works.

mbuchholz
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] steindog99:
Here are a few. The calendar widget is what comes with LauncherPro Plus. I resized your clear PC widget to fit underneath it instead of stretching across the whole screen. I like the 3D app drawer as well, not too mention Launcher Pro runs super fast compared to sense, at least on my phone...

No dice with it running on stock. Tons of fc's ahh well
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] papeseed24:
I downloaded this and for some reason my settings app is no longer on my phone this caused many fc's, can I get a settings apk or can someone help with the problem
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
what rom are you using? I only tested this on Fresh 2.3.3 so I don't know for sure if it works on any others. it does make changes to com.htc.resources.apk so if you're not using the same rom, it could cause problems.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] papeseed24:
I'm using a damage rom, is there any fixes for this?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Russss:
Try downloading the damage rom and take out com.htc.resources.apk and push it to your phone
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
In fresh 2.3.3, the background .png that you have to make transparent is in com.htc.resources.apk. I don't know where it's located in damage. That could be the problem... it's copying the entire com.htc.resources.apk to your /system/framework/ directory.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JTNiggle:
Thought I would try this on Darch's 2.8, but, no go, causes an infinite boot. :(

Any idea what it would take to work in an AOSP Rom?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
I would just need to locate where the PNG file for the background is located for the rom you're using and change it to be blank/transparent. I don't really have time right now to work on it, but if I get a chance another day, I'll post it on the OP as an edit.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
off-topic... hey steindog, I saw your screenshots and thought I'd give launcherpro another go. Once I discovered the "prefs" button on the menu, I was sold. I don't know how I missed it before, but this is awesome! I love the customization! Thanks for the inspiration to give it another shot. :)

-mbuchholz
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Russss:
In AOSP roms the image is usually just in Settings.apk

Look here for how it works on aosp froyo

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] steindog99:
LOL...I'll take your thanks, but they are undeserving. All I did was set my phone up with stuff other people made. I am really liking the PC widget! Any chance you'll be putting together a clear taskbar? I know there are others out there, but none of them ever seem to work for me...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mbuchholz:
I had done that and changed it back because all the individual icons still have backgrounds and I was too lazy to go into each icon and take out the background. If all you want is the taskbar to be clear, that's easy... but if you want the icons to look clean and have transparent backgrounds too (which is what I think you mean by "clear taskbar"), that would take some time. I'll work on it, but it may take a while because I don't have a lot of time to dev after work...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocklee99:
before this update, i used to get facebook updates in my "people" app and now theres nothing? any reasoning?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin007827:
Forgive me if there is already an answer to this on the forum. I did some searching and didn't see one. Basically, I am wondering if any of the custom ROMS available for the EVO unlock the native wifi tethering that is part of froyo. I am running the rooted version of the 2.2 update, but the feature is hidden. It seems like if it is part of the OS, it should be able to be unlocked and included in the custom ROMS. Would be greatfull for anyone who can point me in the right direction on this as I don't want to have to use the wifi tether app if I don't have too.

Thanks,

Justin
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwabbit:
CM6 does that. You will lose Sense though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin007827:
I was looking into that one. I am ok with looking sense, but I don't want to loose 4g. Does C6 have working 4g yet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianBusby2038:
Tethering is working on the latest rom from Fresh if you run Netarchy's kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
am i missing something or why not just use wifi tether?

does that not hit 4g? if it does, why not just use that and keep sense? (not that sense is all that wonderful)

At the time of this post, WiFi tether app was not working with froyo. It is now, but its performance isn't that great.
[Droid X General] Sheen160:
Yeah that was lame. Anyway, hi all. I'm Sheen from the Droid Eris boards. I recently retired my eris and decided to get the DX. Best decision I ever made. I've only had the phone for a day and I love it.

I'm glad to see we already have root after it being out for only, what a few weeks? If anyone can figure out how to get the bootloader unlocked then I'll gladly make a rom or two for us all. :) Eventually I may be able to help with any development tasks. I'm in the process of learning everything. But slowly, lol.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say a fond hello to everyone.

Also a shoutout to tazzpatriot. :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcbooth:
This is early, hacky, and built from the work of the guys on the Vibrant forums: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739647

anomalous3 figured out that "there was only one thing running as root that could safely be replaced; the boot logo player. So, all this does is replace the boot logo player with a script that calls userinit.sh from /data/local and then calls the (now renamed) bootlogo player for those of you who want that nifty startup screen"

What this does is allows the phone to mount an ext3 partition on boot so we can have a lag fix on JP3. I'm getting 1610 on quadrant and it's pretty stable. Please someone improve this!! shaunm89 and I just hacked this together from other's work.

Directions:

1.) Create an EXT3 partition on your external SD card of 2gb. It should be the second partition after the fat32 partition

2.) Flash Modaco's pre-rooted JP3 through Odin: http://android.modaco.com/content/s...insecure-boot-clockworkmod-recovery-for-odin/

3.) Boot the phone up. Open market and install Root Explorer (costs $) and Busybox. Update busybox

4.) Download these files: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ONGUDAIJ

Copy them across to the SD card. Move playlogos1 and playlogosnow to /system/bin. Move userinit.sh to /data/local. Use root explorer to set permissions read (all 3) write (user only) execute (all 3). 0755 for those who know linux. You can use adb to push if you wanna get fancy.

5.) Reboot. Use root explorer to see if /sd-ext exists, and if so, whether /sd-ext/data and /sd-ext/dalvik-cache exist. If so it worked! If not, reboot again and then check.

That's it. Maybe someone can package this into an update.zip, maybe someone can take it and make it more stable and even faster (ext4 for example)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GSeeker:
great! hope we could find an easier way

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] evermick:
Is it a must to get the pre-rooted version of firmware? However using the original SP3 then root by myself?

On the other hand, I think I will modify your init.rc as I would rather to do all the moving by myself :)

Great job, hope we can get EXT4 soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bigbuffalo:
In step 4, " Move userinit.sh to /local/data" should be data/local. Quadrant benchmark 1700.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thephawx:
seems like the script is calling busybox, but is it necessary to use root explorer. Could one substitute root explorer with adb?

I assume root explorer is just to do things adb can do, but locally on the device instead of attached via USB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
I tried this and it and i can see sd-ext and the subfolders but is this all we need to do?

is /data/data linked to the sdcard?

I am asking because i tried to reboot the phone without the sdcard in it and i can still see all my apps and everything is working fine.

Thoughts?

Also there is an error in section 4 of your instructions. there is no /local/data, it is /data/local.

Also playlogos1 and playlogosnow files needs to be renamed with a capital P for this to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcbooth:
No need to install root explorer if you can use adb to push the files. I just wasn't sure how to use adb to push to those directories.

I fixed the other mistake, thanks

This is not ideal but gets the job done. I'm hoping you guys can make it better!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
Are you able to download anything from the market after doing this?

My market is just stuck on "starting download" and that's it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcbooth:
Protected apps don't show but i've been able to get all my other purchased and free apps installed and running fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
Strange.

I'll flash again and try again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
Yea i don't know.

The market will download some and won't others.

Also my Quadrant test is getting stuck at 3/4 stage of the I/O test so it might be my SDCard which sucks.

I used a 16GB SanDik class 4 card.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kilack:
sandisk are one of the best cards you can get, kingston are known to get stuck at this stage, are you sure you don't have a fake sandisk card? :)

anyway if you leave it running after about 10 minutes quadrant will finish and still give you a massive score of over 1500.. just shows how reliable the quadrant scores are :).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] faulta:
does it mean that quadrant is good but speed isnt?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drygmasken:
Tried this fix on my JP3 but no luck. I don't get these folders.

Maybe it must be MoDaCo?

If I manually execute the script I get these folders, but after reboot they are gone.

Pretty new to this maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drygmasken:
Ok, did it from scratch today. Format, flashed MoDaCo prerooted JP3 and everything. Stilll I don't get this to work :((

Please, any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] titovic:
Finally got it to run faster with this fix, thanks for sharing!

Also happened to me initially. /sd-ext won't show up or if it does, it doesn't contain the correct folders though it is listed when you run 'mount'. Laggy with Quadrant result at 975.

So, went back and reformatted SD w/Fat32 then EXT3, cleared cache/data, re-flashed Modaco's JP3, installed the latest Busybox, copied files per OP and I finally got it working after a couple of re-boots (3, i think). It is running smooth so far w/quadrant 1622. GPS seems to be getting locks on SATs quickly but you still can't get to LBSTest via the keypad. Still can't write to the external sd when mounted/shared to PC.

Also tried JAC's work (see this thread: [KERNEL/RECOVERY] Vibrant EXT2/3/4 with init.d support) since it has the nifty feature allowing user to put startup scripts on boot up. I flashed his kernel but i got stuck on the 'Vibrant' boot screen. anyways, will give it another try later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drygmasken:
Which method do you use for making the ext3? I made my on my hero using Amon RA could that be a problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] titovic:
I used GParted Live CD as Paragon fails to format my AData card and sorry but I am not familiar with AMON RA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sir-ay:
1646 thanks, very fast!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asci:
Would this procedure work for ext4 partitioned SD Card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] titovic:
EXT?

I got my external SD formatted with FAT32, EXT3. Userinit.sh script executes 'busybox mount -o noatime,nodiratime -t AUTO /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /sd-ext' and so from adb shell, 'mount' command shows /sd-ext being mounted as EXT2:

-----

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /sd-ext ext2 rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/data ext2 rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /data/dalvik-cache ext2

-----

Will it matter at all if we force the script to use -t EXT3? OR format an EXT4 partition and force it to mount the card as EXT4 in the same way?

Has anyone tried or want to try and report results? thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thephawx:
Well it works. My Quadrant score is 1627. Don't notice if it feels any faster though.

I'll keep using it. My Alarm crashed on me this morning so I think I might be switching away from JP3 soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drygmasken:
Very strange. Yesterday i reformatted my sd card.

1st FAT32

2nd ext3 (2gb)

But still not working, Only when i execute it manually, then it makes and moves everything to right folders. But after restart the folders are gone and all my app configs where gone to :P stuck on ext3 I guess, but I coulden't see the folders anymore :P

No more time to test this weekend, will go away. Maybe I'll try next week again :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jkgtan:
Can some kind soul give a step by step tutorial on how to partition the fat32 (size?) ext3 (size?) ext4(size).

Using JM2 and ext 4, my highest quadrant score has been 1793
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RADLOUNI:
Quadrant not indicative

Hi Guys

I see a lot on this forum about getting high quadrant scores.

Based on my experience with the phone, it does not matter how high your quadrant score is

The lags and freezes are still there no matter how high your quadrant score is.

I get around 1700 on quadrant, yet the occasional lags are still there
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Is this on a 2.2 firmware? The occasional (and sometimes not so occasional) lags on the 2.2 firmware appear to be because of the JIT being broken. If you turn off JIT on 2.2 then these lags go away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Xurok:
Wow nice thank you, I make a score of 1691 on Quadrant, system is really fast now.

The thing where the gain of speed is huge is opening an eBook with Aldico, it's like 5 times faster :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RADLOUNI:
I am still on the 2.1 firmware, i use JM2

And yes the lags are sometimes occasional, and sometimes not so occasional :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan 6a:
Hi all,

I partitioned my external midcroSD card, flashed the files on page one. There are no MCR scripts in the apps section.. Where is the script so I dont have to apply the EXT3 fix manually?

I have done everything on page one except for the change boot screen part.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcbooth:
The 'boot screen part' is where the magic happens.

Those playnow boot animation files have been modified to search for a script in /data/local – which in this case is the script userinit.sh

That script mounts the ext3 partition and moves /data and /dalvik-cache to the partition. It runs on the first reboot and is automatic thereafter

Use root explorer to look inside /sd-ext to ensure it worked.

A quadrant score of 1500+ and noticeably less lag also confirms it worked
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daemos:
hmmm...according to wiki:

"Backward compatibility

The ext4 filesystem is backward compatible with ext3 and ext2, making it possible to mount ext3 and ext2 filesystems as ext4. This will slightly improve performance, because certain new features of ext4 can also be used with ext3 and ext2, such as the new block allocation algorithm.

The ext3 file system is partially forward compatible with ext4, that is, an ext4 filesystem can be mounted as an ext3 partition (using "ext3" as the filesystem type when mounting). However, if the ext4 partition uses extents (a major new feature of ext4), then the ability to mount the file system as ext3 is lost."

So does this mean we can use an ext4 formatted card, as from what I understand you can mount an EXT3 filesystem on an ext4 partition...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daemos:
I got 1612 on Quadrant...which is pretty good using ext3 with ext4 on 2.1 JM5 I got 1750.

Also I couldn't find busybox in the market :( but it seemed to install fine otherwise.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RA017:
Same here. The JP3 lag fix applied alright as I can see the /sd-ext being mounted with a few hundred MB there. But when I try to download Dolphin Browser HD from Market, it just stuck at "Start Downloading" but nothing happens. Tried other free app and the same result.

I was able to download apps just before I applied the fix. Somehow either the sym-link is making a problem to the Market, or the folder permission/ownership is not set right.

I'm going back to rooted JP3 without Lag fix, the score is exciting but the menu lag is still there.

power off your fone, hold the home button while you pwer it on, scroll down to nandroid, and select restore then restore from your backup. once you restore reboot. then d/l fresh rom 2.3.3, its the most stable rom and has all extras, you might also be able to do it by wiping dalvik-cache or doing a factory reset, which i would try first, but if you dont want o lose your data, do the restore
