robotic voice.

i use a 2.14 base and 3.04 ext packs but still have robo. now i use andriod bootcamp and when i make it auto load andriod on boot. i get clear voice but then second call back to robo. using radio. 2.12.50.02.2. if i disable sense reboot blah blah still the same. playing music and other sound apps are perfect but all goes mad once made a call, shuts sound off and gets laggy. so is it down to clrcad whatever it actually does? can't say its oemdrivers as it worked once. must get to bottom of it.

no matter which way i boot into android, i got the robo-voice or sometimes cant hear a thing on calls (no ringing, no voices etc.).

this really makes the whole android useless for me. its working really smooth, except the phone-calls. any help?

Trying your recommendation for calibrating the G-Sensor in WinMo, I'll report back if I get anything conclusive.

As for Radio, I'm using 2.10.50.08_2 - I've only ever had the echo, and once Cotulla put out the volume fix etc, it went away, but as already mentioned it's also down to the WinMo, the amount of combinations possible is always going to be a pain in the arse!

i am at work at mo but seems like stuff from 2.10 wavedev.dll rilphone.dll is reported to fix the robo. sneaky suspition that it maybe rilphone.dll which relates to the radio. like said earlier in thread mine did work once with complete 2.14 base. when i get back i will try many combinations and let you know of my findings. ******ing phones lol. but personally prefer winmo at mo especially on leo with sense. better weather animation, but like the live wallpapers on android.

Let us know how the gsensor.dll solution works over days. Also does your Gsensor work in Android after deleting the key from WinMo?

This may be a silly question but why would deleting the wm Gsensor file affect android at all, because android doesnt run adjacent to wm ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Batskoning:
When pushing the end call button on ur mobile, it will go in standby and when u push it again, u get lockscreen.

7 off the 10 times it take a few seconds when the screen responds, and sometimes it freeze longer (5seconds).

I noticed when u install a different lockscreen (i used for fun fingerprint lockscreen)

No freeze at all, quick responding..

Can someone check this..? If it really helps..

Maybe it's the lockscreen that is the problem..

When u use Fingerprint lockscreen, it;s not loading the standard lockscreen..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hardik119:
I had the same problem that you are talking about with the screen not coming on for couple seconds when locked. But that problem is different than the freezing problem(atleast for me)

Do you have Advanced task killer installed? here's what solved my problem of screen not coming back on for couple seconds.

In advance task killer I changed the "frequency to kill (I don't remember the exact word)" to 30 minutes instead of "when screen gets off" and it solved the problem.

Please let me know if this works for u too so that I can add it to the first post.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hardik119:
Android doesn't run adjacent to wm but it sure uses some drivers from WinMo. And I am sure about that because I get Robotic voice when using certain WinMo roms. Also changing some settings in wm helps with the battery life. So it is certain that Android uses some drivers from WinMo.

Radio

Thanks for helping out guys. Everything is going smooth with Android but the only thing that I'm having problems with is the SOD. I currently have radio 2.10.50.26 and I'm reluctant on changing radio to the one recommended (2.13.xx.02 radio). My question is: What is the difference between these two radios? What changes? Will I get better/worse signal and data speeds? BTW Im using a tmobile hd2 with energy rom. Thank you for your help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clio94:
I tried to delete hklm/drivers/builtin/gsensor but resco reg editor says "the key cannot be deleted".So i went inside key and in the value dll gsensor.dll i wrote something else.I did soft reset.In winmo boots correctly.But in android doesnt boot again.It stucks in white screen with htc logo.I correct the value,but still nothing.I made hardreset but no luck.Now i restore from spb backup my winmo installation and i am going to do a new clean install of android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hardik119:
I am not sure what are the differences between the radios and the better/worse signal depends on the area and network you are using. with the same radio some ppl get better reception while some get worse. So you will have to experiment yourself.

I am sorry to hear that. Some people have reported that they got the freezing problem solved by deleting the registry key. Did you try the calibration trick???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HD2freaKK:
Hi there...

Thx for the advice about the screen freezing...i tryed the calibration but still freezes then i deleted the gsensor.dll and till now evrything going right..for about 3-4 h of using the phone without freezes...thx dude for the advice!!!!

Screen does not respond but hard buttons work.

Hi...

I just installed 2.3 Gingerbread NAND on my HD2. :D

Sad part is, after the phone goes on standby mode, it will not respond to touch anymore. :(

I have disabled the the Auto Rotate screen option. :confused:

But still - no luck as my HD2 continues collecting dust. :mad:

Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this? Some of the methods outlined above requires the Android to be rooted. - which I cannot do yet cos not a moment goes by after fresh Android install - without the HD2 freezing like that.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jealousy:
Oh my gosh... guys wake up.

Removing g-sensor will definitely not work. At the moment I start to doubt that it's a g-sensor related issue.

If you think you just fixed your problem, try WALKING with your phone. I guess you won't even be able to walk half a minute with your phone not getting frozen.

Tried your trick of calibrating gsensor in winmo and then booting to android and it works a treat!!!

So far no lock-ups in about three hours even immediately after rotating the screen.

Well done for this.

Will try the power one now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] -NRG-:
I've some freezes and after deleting the gsensor files in the registry i still had those freezes. Calibration didn't work either.

However if i disable auto rotate in android, i don't have freezes.

So my freezes seem to be g-sensor related but not to windows..

I had those freezes with diffrent android roms and zimages.

Using class 6 sd card with hspl 3 and 2.12.50.2_2 radio.

Using chucky windows rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pack21:
For me it works.

Before i was 2-3sec sleeping....and now just 1sec.....and i think G-sensor issues and battery tweaks are working well.....need more time to confirm.

0 freezes and good battery drainage with Wifi....will test 3G usage.

Thanks for this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcfreak:
Excellent thread, rated 5 star..!!!

Good Work..!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hardik119:
You will need a registry editor program for that. It should be under tools on your WinMo if you installed a custom ROM. If it is not there Resco explorer(link) is a good example.

Once you get the registry editor search for "gsensor.dll" and delete the key that you will find.

lol..Jealousy you need to wake up and read previous posts before writing this. I am using Android without a single freeze since last 5 days. And when I say using I mean literally using all the time..walking, talking, exercising, playing.... so remember this "don't turn anything or anyone down without even knowing or trying it.":)

Check out the 6th point on the first post if you are getting a delayed wake up problem.

Glad it worked:)

Thanks for the feedback. I added the disabling auto-rotation option to the first post.

:)

Thanks:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jealousy:
What a ridiculous statement. Instead of just accepting the fact it won't work even in one single case you're trying to get rid of any trouble concerning the functionality of your hints.

How did you decide I haven't read enough to make a decent judgement with what I said before?

If it's not freezing in your case and a bunch of others, well great. But it seems it ain't beeing an universal solution since I spent a couple of days for intense testing, different roms and different android builds with many different kernels. And I can assure you that I've took notice of and tried any hint which appeared on this forums the last days.

Once again:

Yes, I deleted the reg key + the file.

Yes, I turned off autorotation.

Yes, I turned off background tasks.

What kind of an additional issue should be there to keep your complaints appropriate?

@jealousy

LOL..you see you proved that statement right! Because if you had read this thread properly you would know that this trick worked for almost everyone WHO TRIED. Kid go do your homework and then complain.

Also while you are at it, you are not suppose to delete the file just the reg key. Well try the calibration trick first if it doesn't work then try the reg trick.

Good luck and no more replies to you.this thread is to help people. If you don't like the ideas then just stay away from this thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jealousy:
Well it seems you are really not able to meet some communication requirements. By the way they do include some proper understanding, not senseless flaming :)

I guess I was trying more than you will ever imagine, so unfortunately, you got me wrong at this point. It's easy to express some poor "go away" when someone doesn't fit in your concept, but it just isn't right.

Any criticism should be constructive right? So again: There are still freezes, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, and stop telling me I'm not capable of reading.

It's almost 11am in France an I've 10% battery left on my android hd2 : yeah I did my first full android-running day!

I didn't log exactly what I did for the last 24h, but here is a summary:

- started with 94% battery (that's the only pb i faced: my battery is not full charged when charging while running android)

- 4/5 sms

- 20min calling

- 10min google navigation (testing it while going back home)

- some time spent on android market with wifi on

- some time spent using all the apps i'm downloading from market!

- rest of the time : idle at work, sync off but data on.

- during the night: 8 hours in airplane mode, lost 5% battery

What tweaks I did:

- did a calibration of g-sensor last time running WM (but didn't touch the gsensor.dll entry in registry)

- switched off auto-backlight in WM as well

- did the tweaks of the thread 'Increase Battery Life'

- switched off autorotation in android

- installed setCPU

It's maybe not the best battery performance but it allow me to leave WM almost definitely!

In my case it's still the screen that drain most of the energy...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hardik119:
Thanks for the feedback. I have updated the first post with the new feedback.

You meant the battery drain is less while surfing in WM compared to Android?

Not sure what might be the reason after changing the set cmdline in startup.txt. Are you booting from SD root or SD/Android? for FROYO the recommended method is SD/Android.

If nothing helps, save the logs and send report it to the development thread. Developers might be able to help you after looking at the logs.

Great:)

Thanx I copied the information I found useful to the first post:)

If you want to decrease the drain caused by screen, disable the Automatic brightness under Android display settings and try setting the brightness to as low as possible. Personally I like it set automatically:)
