Here I thought I had gone crazy... Had flashed ROM's, Radio's etc and was thinking my device was some how "special."

It is a shame too, as I think the extended battery would get us through a day of Android use. Maybe the devs need us to get some numbers or readings from our batteries?
[Captivate General] graceflanger:
Lately when checking android system info I will see android.process.acore..any ideas? It will usually show that its constantly at 100% and sometimes I see two of the same thing.
[Captivate General] meridianblade:
I think its one of androids core processes, so that could explain why it's 100% at times.

So I've been trying to update my Facebook 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 but I keep getting a "Installation was not successful" message from the Market. I tried removing the older version manually (Force-closed FB and cleared data in Settings; not showing in Installer in SystemPanel) but it still seems to be there since clicking on its icon on the homepage still opens it. Any way to actually take this P.O.S. outta here?! BTW, I am running Fresh 3.0.1 and had everything recently restored with TB.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
there is a thread about this, find it - it has instructions

delete the apk from system/apps using root exploter and then in my case "restart" then install from the android market.. thats how i did it
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
This is getting weird. Tried to Uninstall via ES File Manager's Application Manager and it says 'Uninstall Unsuccessful'. Then I tried just deleting the .apk from the system/app folder and it says the file 'cannot be deleted'. What the hell is going on here?!
[HD2 General] miller_giad:
All,

I recently ugraded to the HD2 and despite some early Factory resets, I've managed to keep the standard ROM and still operate in a reliable fashion.

My issue is with the default Telstra APNs and the fact that the standard one are locked from even being able to view the settings.

At some random period after a Factory reset, the Network stops connecting to the Telstra Account and Data usage pages.

I recreated manual networks based on the tips in the thread:

HD2 Telstra ROM Data for non Telstra ROM users

and again the sites were accessible for a period and then again they stop working. I rechecked the HTTP Proxy setting in my manually created APN and foudn the HTTP server field was empty. I re-added the 10.1.1.181:80 and the Testra sites work again.

Can any one confirm if Activesync or WinPC Network connection can somehow override the Proxy settings or remove them (My Activesync PC usually connects via LAN proxy in 10.X.X.X range) as I believe that is what's happening to my default Telstra.internet APN but I can't get in to check it. I don't want to have to re-enter the proxy every few days.

Any guidelines for how to prevent Activesync screwing with Mobile connections?

Great resource you are all providing here. Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] edgetas:
Belated reply

I have the same problem on Android and I'm not using active sync,

though it doesn't happen on every ROM I've tried, so it may be ROM related.

After you create /change an APN, press the windows key and save it,

Then reboot your phone. Seems to have solved my problem so far.

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers.
[Captivate General] andars05:
I seem to have an issue with the colors of the webpage background color (and sometimes images) changing slightly when scrolling in the browser. It seems to change only with some colors. It's most obvious on pages like XDA and lifehacker.com If I hold down my finger on the screen, or scroll, the background shade seems to change and dithering becomes more obvious in images. It goes back to normal as soon as I pull my finger off the screen. It's not huge, but it is annoying.

I wish I could record what I'm talking about, but I don't have a spare camera.

Is anyone else having this issue?
[Captivate General] ozy944:
I think I know what you're talking about mate...Ive noticed that on my desire too. I believe its to do with page rendering .... Im hypothesizing its the Android OS adjusting screen renders as it gets ready for any scrolling or zooming of a webpage.

Obviously thats just a personal theory.....would need someone with an Evo 4g or droid/x to determine if this is an android issue/amoled issue or whatever.

Doesnt affect usage though does it? :p

Cheers

[Captivate General] JamesR913:
I just opened my xda app. To ask the exact same question and the first post was this. I notice this on almost every page that has a white background. Not that its a real issue just curious if any one else sees it too.
[Captivate General] andars05:
It does't really affect usage. It's just a bit strange and a little bit distracting. It seems to be at the software level, so I suppose a firmware update could change that.

Thanks for confirming guys!
[Captivate General] mdsannihilation:
i first experienced this when google's main image pixelated as i was scrolling... is this [similar to] what you are talking about?

i just assumed they did it to keep the scrolling smooth. for what reason? don't really know!

I downloaded froyo but i keep getting errors is there a way i can go back to 2.1???
[EVO 4G Android Development] raptoreb:
Hello,

I upgraded to the unofficial leaked HTC froyo and desperately wait both root and possibly upgrade to OTA 2.2 (or downgrade.) I went to do the prl hack described in another thread which was exceedingly useful and found that ##PRL# doesn't work. This has been commented on a few times in various threads in the last few days.

Someone in one of the threads briefly commented on it but the knowledge doesn't seem to have been picked up by everyone.

I was able to update my prl to a file of my choosing using the demo of CDMA Workshop. Follow the instructions to setup CDMA Workshop in the thread covering how to get your MSL#. After getting your Evo running and connected to CDMA Workshop, go to the "Other" tab, click write in the PRL subcategory and select the prl file located on your computer. Disconnect, restart your phone and it should say the new prl# in the About Phone stuff.

Just to let you guys know...this method doesn't work if you're running CM6. When trying to write the PRL, you get this error: "60669.prl is not a valid PRL file"
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
yah, because CM6 isn't based off of the OTA 3.26.651.6 build.

anything based off of that build should have no issues.

this is why i stick to ROMs that are really close to stock. never have any issues.

I did the same thing to update PRL. I started out running CM6 nightly builds, currently running CM6 RC1. Did a nandroid backup, then restored Fresh 1.0.1 and updated PRL from 60662 to 60668. After that I restored CM6 RC1.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dnunez05:
First i want to say thanks to all the developers that got involved to make this possible. Their hard work and sleepless nights are greatly appreciated.

I tried so many combinations of ROM's and Radio's that i gave up and nearly lost hope until a friend of mine at work found the perfect combination of Windows Mobile and Android to load on the US Tmobile HD2. Maybe i should buy him lunch tomorrow :cool:.

I think many are experiencing the issues i had, soooo.... I wanted to share this information and show you all little lost sheep out there how to get to the light at the end of the tunnel. :D

If you want to start from scratch, meaning from the factory ROM on the phone, then do what i did and follow the instructions below in the same order i performed them. If you are savvy enough to follow along without starting from a stock ROM, then more power to you. These steps are for the dummies like me who are out there and cant follow instructions.

Again this is for the US-TMobile HD2's. I dont know that this will work for the EU HD2's. Try at your own risk.

Step 1

Install the TMO Stock ROM. Click Here

Step 2

Root your TMO Stock ROM by installing 2.08.HardSPL. Click Here

Step 3

Install Energy's "Stardard-Energy" ROM located on the US TMO forum but for your convenience.... Click Here

Step 4

Install Radio version 2.12.50.02.2. Click Here

Step 5

Copy shubCRAFT's "Android" folder to the root of your SD Card. Click Here

- (I edited the startup file to prevent the "cant access tty; job control turned off " error message, therefore this install should be plug and play.

- When the copy is complete, place the SD CARD back in your phone if not already, and run clrcad & haret from the Storage card.

- You can also use the auto boot loader .cab file on your WM rom to autoload Android. Click Here

Updated: 8/7/10

For those of you who are having issues and don't know how to modify the startup.txt file. Here is a copy of the startup.txt file without the "loop_partition=mmcblk0" command line. Click Here

Just copy the file to the Android folder and overwrite the existing one and you should be all set.

Step 6

Here is a new 1GB userdata.img download link. Click Here

The old one was giving issues with texting. If you guys want a bigger userdata file let me know. This will also fix any download issues from the Market and prevent low disk space errors when attempting to install an application from the SD card.

Update: 8/7/10

Here is a 4GB userdata.img for the ones that wanted a bigger file. Click Here

I'll have to try this. Keep having the static/echo problem no matter what radio I use. Currently I'm running ChuckyROMS and dan1j3l's Froyo build. Got one more radio to try and if that doesn't work, oh well, I'll try this combo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sudeep62589:
As far as I remember I am using ChuckyDroid and Radio 12_50.2 and matt latest version and no echo/sod since yesterday and got about 20 hours out of battery life. Must mention I use the phone "alot" so my battery drains accordingly :(

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hobonic:
Frustrating!

Even with the new zimage, clean SD, I still get robo-voice. I refuse to clean out my stock TMOUS ROM / radio though...there has to be a fix that doesn't require me to do HSPL....(i own a mac...is there an easy way to do HSPL on a mac?)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cobra2:
U don'nt have to HSPL again to install the Radio, and neither will u lose any data, so just go ahead if an new radio will help resolving the robo-voise :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
Does flashing the stock tmo rom first really make a difference? I've flashed like crazy to get the best combo but haven't had the stock rom since I first flashed.

Its not the rom but the audio driver that the rom uses. Look for robotic sound problem thread in this section for the files.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JesHD2:
You know guys, I really gotta say this. I think its really mestup that when you try to download the "Standard-Energy Rom" they give you the option to either pay them for a fast download or suffer through their agravating super slow download that they intentionally made that way for who ever doesnt wanna pay up.

I noticed the "Affiliate Program" they have which for those of you who dont know, it just means that every time someone goes and pays for the "super fast download", there is someone behind the scene getting paid for making you pay. That someone is usually the one who provides the link to that website.

Why am I exposing this? because who ever is doing this should at least have the curtesy to let us know it is NOT free to download and HE will make money when you choose to pay, not just thinking he's fooling people to a comission- which he is.

The last time I tried downloading for free, it took 2 1/2 hours and at the end I got a little "Error" message saying there was a problem downloading and the download could not be completed. - .. as expected for not paying up right?

How do I know this, because I AM an "Affiliate Marketer". I know how this stuff works, but I dont work this way.

Yeah you got it, thats the only "magical" thing. With the last Radio all Echos are gone and the Bad Backround noises too.

No one must try diff ROM and Radios anymore.

I use the Original 1.66 Stock ROM and Darkstones Desire v5 (my absolute favorit) and with the latest zimage the last Soundproblems are solved.

I only wait for GPS works in the v5, coz than it is the perfect build.

Ditto: Never formatted my SD card (EVER!) or danced around the phone with a feather in my cap.

I really appreciate the time and thought so many have put into this thread, but I disagree with the "one size/configuration fits all" methodology.

For example, I have run Android from an Android file on my SD card as instructed with SOD or mah repetition results and the reverse. I have run Android after being in WinMo for half a day when the common suggestion is to run within a few minutes of booting into Windows.

Point is: This doesn't work for everyone. What I have found is the last three releases - 8-1 and particularly 8-3, have been quite close to usable.....then again, that's my perception, not necessarily shared by the masses.

Once again - not a flame - the OP and several participants have put a lot of energy into this, but I feel my participation is to play devil's advocate for anyone on the fence about starting all over by flashing back to T-Mo's crappy ROM.

0 problems either.. my phone has an "up time" of 22.37 hrs, I'll see how many hours i can run without a crash.

I think the battery life is the same or more than winmo.

I think I'll never come back to winmo, this thing is faster and it is running from the sd card!

I added a step 6 to the instructions. Some people are having issues installing applications. Simply overwrite the img file with the one located in the Android folder in the SD card.

I have yet to get a single SOD or any robovoice.

Very stable, feels as if android was the native OS of my Leo. Only issues are that its still a little bit slower than other android devices and not so good power management. Some programs and features don't work, and we all know what those are. As soon as these are sorted, should be awesome. Being able to use more than 256 mb of the HD2s ram will greatly improve the capability of the phone.

everyone, i found the solution to the texting issues. The userdata.img file i posted was grabbed from another thread but appearantly it wasnt compatible with the release we had. I tried some others and they would fix the texting issue but would break GPS.

So to make a long story short i went ahead and installed linux on my pc to get this baby cranking. I provided a new 1GB userdata.img download link under step 6. If you guys want a bigger userdata file let me know.

I tested the file and it looks good. i've had no issues for the past 5 hours. Let me know if you guys experience otherwise. I recommend that you wipe your SD card and start over from step 5 to avoid any further complications.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dnunez05:
I had the same issue. Try the new userdata file posted under the instructions and let me know if that helped. It resolved mine.

the file will be visible after you load Android for the first time and it will be called userdata.img.

I didnt delete it. It should be in there.

All i did was open the text file and add loop_partition=mmcblk0 to the "set cmdline" line.

If you are having issues open the text file on your computer and remove loop_partition=mmcblk0 and it should continue loading.

I noticed that my friends US HD2 had a red reset button on the back and my US HD2 has a yellow one. When he tried these instructions he was also having issues with the startup file. I assume there are two different builds of the US device. That's probably why everyone cannot get the same results.
