[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
The SD cards (internal and external) are not cleared with a full system wipe. When you delete all data through a system clear, it deletes everything stored internally to apps - in the phone memory where apps are installed.

Although the internal SD card is not really an SD card, the system treats it as an SD card. You can unmount both internal and external SD cards and then format them - that will wipe all data. Follow that with a system reset or Odin 1 click recovery and everything on your phone is factory new.

The phone is behaving as designed.

I get squares sometimes when i check a website or run an application that contains non latin or API fonts. I really REALLY hate square and i wonder if it's possible to fix thisby adding additional ttf fonts to the /system/fonts/

whould that also affect my phone overall preformance?

I'm using 2.1 on Galaxy S
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
It will only read one font file. You have to use a better font (more complete).

I really needed Maps for traffic today. First I started getting "failed to login." Then I started getting FCs. I was on Fresh 3.0. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Maps.

I am in Southern California and not only had the F/C with Google all day but also had my phone reboot about 10 times while trying to use either Google or Sprint Navigation. I thought it was my phone as I have had this happen before. It would happen when I would turn the GPS on. Not sure what the cause is, and I am thinking it maybe time to fully root my phone and move to a different Rom. I am just running stock with the fist version of Unrevoked that ever came out.

Yup, I did exactly that, uninstall then reinstall Google Maps after encountering FCs out of the blue yesterday, and now no more FCs.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Well, not really didn't test with real bullets, but I yet to brick it to a degree it makes it hard to restore, i.e. resort to using windows to run ODIN to re-flash stock firmware.

Got really close to bricking it to that point today with the lag fix that uses EXT4.

The phone started FC while copying the data to a new ext4 formated partition, and it looked like it reloaded but the uptime never showed the full powerdown. So, on it came back up I was back to TW with a bunch of apps missing including the ROM Manager, and market :eek:

As suggested by a member here I manually boot it into clockworkrecovery (moved recovery-update.zip into /sdcard as update.zip and adb reboot recovery), once in CWMR I restored from the latest nandroid backup and volia! I am back.

Well, it goes back under the warranty replacement anyway because of the bad 3.5 mm jack :(

I hopethe replacement does not disappoint.
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Odin froze up on me during a flash last night and I couldn't get the phone to power on at all. No recovery mode, no download mode...I couldn't even get the charging indicator to come on when I plugged in the USB. It was TOTALLY DEAD...no signs of life at all whatsoever.

After about an hour and a half of fiddling, I found that if I

removed the battery

removed SD card and SIM card

plugged into USB on the PC

held down vol-up and vol-down

popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons

unplugged from USB

I could get it to start in download mode. What a huge relief. After a few more tries I was able to get Odin to finish flashing the stock firmware. I was sweating for a while there. :)

Ive flashed more than 4 diff radios and i have been getting the SOD on Android. Some worse than others and some with a slight 5 sec delay. Ive read around and some people say they have SOD-less Android running on their HD2. WHAT RADIO ARE YOU USING AND WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE PROCESS. THANK YOU FOR ANY RESPONSES. Ive been using Android as my main OS and I Love It. Only Thing Is The SOD.

Radios Ive Tried:

2.12.50.02.2

2.09.50.29.2

2.10.50.28_2

2.08.50.08.2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_scotsman:
Well obviously the radio isn't the cause of the problems...I'm quite sure you've seen which radios people are using in various threads, and know that 2.10, and 2.12 are the most used and work fine...and which radio you are TOLD to use in the FAQs etc...

I suggest asking in here for more help regarding SOD.

It could be related to the ROM you are using, the build you are using...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boxxerace:
1) Load HSLP3

1) Replace your Windows rom with the Chuckydroid Rom (add http) xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734238 (note: it's called "chuckydroid", but it's WM 6.5 that's been modified and "lightened" for android, so don't be confused like I was)

2) Use radio version 2.12.50.02_2

3) insert and then wipe your memory card.

4) Load Darkstone V2.1

Then, grab a brew and enjoy using Android Froyo 100% of the time, almost problem free. (compass does not work, and a few apps do not load, almost all the good ones do, however). GPS, Wifi is excellent.

Cheers!

NOT necessarily HSPL3. I use HSPL 1 - perfect no problems!

I use Cloudy 1.6 - No problems at all - the BIG plus is its a full

Win 6.5+Manila 2.5 Sense ROM, so technically I got two sexy OS's at the same time.

I use 2.10.50.26 No robot voice at all, no SODs.

3) insert and then wipe your memory card.

I use mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b - simply the best.

Ditto

bottom line - ( I WOULD LIKE TO DISPEL THIS MYTH )

1. HSPL version has no bearing at all running Android builds!

2. THERE IS NO SINGLE PARTICULAR ROM BUILD (Weather light or full Winmo)

so long as the Chef mentions it is Android Friendly!

3. There is no SINGLE PARTICULAR RADIO as long as it is recommended

4. there are a lot of stable builds at present that are GOOD FOR DAILY USE!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fi3ry_icy:
any lite rom to cooked for the purpose of running android on hd2 will work..

u can try either

EnergyROM for android

Chuckydroid

MiriROM

so far, these 3 roms are known to work great for running android..

next u need the proper radio..

2.12.50.02.2 works for sure for me because i had my phone on it for 3 full weeks and i have not have a SOD.. so i thought to be funny yesterday and flashed 2.11..

5 mins later i got an SOD.. so pls, use 2.12.50.02.2 and see if it solves ur problem..

lastly, u NEED TO REFORMAT THE SD CARD... no qns about that..

so in all, u need to do 3 things..

1) get a lite rom cooked to run android

2) flash 2.12.50.02.2

3) format ur sd card

do all of these above and u should not get any SOD..

and if i were u, i would back up my stuff, and only copy the android build files into the sd card and boot into it to and make sure that the sod cleared up before copying the other 12GB++ of stuff back in..

hope it works out right for u..

Just to throw my 2 cents in. I just restored my device back to stock settings to do a warranty replacement and while I'm waiting for it to show up I decided to see how Android would run.

So far no SOD, no robotic voice and its running overall very well. Right now I'm using Froyostone clean v2 with my stock 16gb card.

I did completely format the card, load everything back on and then loaded the version I was using from my 1gb card.

LWP

Most of the "NICER" wallpapers wont stay because of a lack of RAM, our devices are not built for LWP's.

Try one called "Nexus Revamped" seed to work good on my Rogers Magic which has 288mb of ram. Depending on your carrier or purchaser you might only have like 192mb (I think)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Ferd64:

clockwork 2.5.0.1

radio 2.22.19.261
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Mosquito2001:
Unfortunately no, as said the limiting factor is RAM and the LWP will be killed as soon as system needs ressources. I tried some WLP and, in addition to the nexus one, Mario & Pixel Zombies LWP seems to stay alive between sleeps
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Serris:
From what I learned the limiting thing are OpenGL 3D drivers not the lack of ram. Some wallpapers use 3D (Galactic Core- me thinks), and the drivers don't support them, there are fixes (modified drivers) but for me none worked. If you find some that work please share :)

... I was wondering if it'd be easy to translate as everything in the app is in chinese language.

I guess it's only a matter of edditing .xml files, ¿right?

The problem I've encountered with is that when I try to open any .xml file it toss me an error and does not open the file. Also this happens with almost all other .xml files I've tried to open of any other aplications so I guess there must be a method to open theses files to edit the text strings.

Here are some screenshots as proof.
[Android Software Development] ffff00:
The xml's won't show up in their original form if you just open the apk. . and hex editing is a *****. You'd need to decompile the apk in order to edit the xml's.

apktool is a really awesome tool for quick xml edits

Ok I really need help on creating a Goldcard. I read everywhere and I must be a morron. It Read that I need to get the CID of my memory card and that I can do it with another WMdevice. I can get another WMDevice but how do i use it to get the Cid. I believe i can figure out the rest. Its just the whole CID thing i cant figure out.I need a Goldcard for dummies guide. I do run WinXP if that makes anything easier or worst. Thanks the help is deeply appreciated thanks.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you also need a prog called qmat, though its not free for the hd2 enabled version, though the old version will be enough to get the cid, just not create the goldcard.

mind if i ask why you need g card? its not needed for flashing anymore, use HSPL

EDIT - oh, and if you are thinking of using it to change the language on your phone !!!STOP!!! there are NO non tmous official roms that will work on your phone, they will ALL contain a radio that WILL destroy your phone.
[HD2 General] kgblabble:
long story short installed a rom on hd2 tmobile phone and it froze up i tried reloading different roms and nothing it would always boot back up to the bootloader screen even if it said install successful. so ive tried everything to try to recover it except the gold card method. I started with spl 2.10.000 now its on 2.00.1 and i want to get it back to 2.10.000 or get it to start up again. Also I did get qmat the trial anyways but how do i get the cid with that?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
oops, biiig mistake, well im not even sure a GC will help, but anyway

get the free version from HERE (EDIT - oh you already got it)

run it with your other phone connected and the card you intend to use insterted, go to hardware forensics, winCE sd card utils, click 'get sd serial and Disk ID'

long number at top is your cards ID.

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
doesn't have to be hd2, no, any "working" windows mobile, with the sd card you want to use in it. connect the phone, connect to active sync (doesn't need to sync, choose "connect without setting up") then run psas

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
when you write the goldcard image, you are writing it to the header, not the card, so formatting the card shouldnt touch the header.

Why do you need to format the card though? start with a blank, freshly formatted card, , load the goldcard image (you cant just copy it on, but i guess you know that) then copy on leoimg.nbh and put it in your phone. wheres the format part come in? (not being sarcastic, it was 18 mths ago i did it)

Sounds like the making of a Nexus 2 could become possible. Anybody else agree?
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
"The Nexus One also happened to be among the first handsets to get an update to Android 2.2" - REALLY? It was THE first phone. And it wasn't a "pretty good" phone, it was the best on the market for several months after launch. I think this guy has some facts he needs to get straightened out.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I really think the nexus sold more units over time then people think, and is in demand more than people think. This kinda shows that. Google jumped the gun by closing their online store. Also they mis calculated by not making the nexus into a whole line of Google phones.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
The Nexus would have taken off at the time, but Google saw fit to market their well known search engine at superbowls and such instead of a phone that no one heard of.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
As much as Google may have fumbled the marketing of the Nexus One when it was sold publicly - all that aside...

The article makes a lot of noise without revealing any numbers which are key to really verifying the conclusion that the phone is becoming more popular as a developer phone.

Yes, Google sold out the developer allotment - that's great. But, they also sold out a few allotments of their public phone back in the day - most notably the last allotment they ordered in July which sold out a week or two earlier than expected. That fact alone doesn't mean anything without knowing how big the allotments were. For all the article states, the allotment for the developers could have been very tiny under the theory that a smaller audience produces less sales and most developers would probably have already ordered one when they were sold publicly anyway.

All we know is that someone was pleasantly surprised by the demand for it from the developer store and that the initial allotment - chosen specifically for that sales purpose - was underestimated.

But, we don't know if that represents higher overall demand (or even relative demand) compared to the public allotments. And we don't know if either demand represented enough market force for the company to have continued to pursue its business plan of being in the open market for handsets.

It also rankles me when they make supporting comments like "now, months after shuttering its online storefront". Sorry, it was less than 1 month since they shut down the storefront when they sold out the developer phones. And don't ignore that allotments were selling out during the consumer sales when you try to make it sound like the developer sell-out was unprecedented. The fact that it was almost 1 month after the shut down the store (not months like the author states) was *due* to a consumer sellout. Otherwise it would have only been a couple of weeks since the store front was scheduled to shut down.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I think the point is that with all these high end android phones out now, the fact that ANYONE is choosing the nexus still tells the story. Specific numbers don't really matter. This is especially true since all these other phones are subsidized on contract, and the nexus is full price, and still selling at all 7 months later.
