Large batteri from HTC causes android to reboot

I am running android on my htc hd2 europe edition and it works fine, I am using the latest froyo build from darkstone released the 18. august. What I found is that none of the builds can run with the large batteri, they will keep rebooting. It would have been nice to extend batteri live. It works on the windows os, and the batteri is a standard HTC batteri.

Regards,

Jan

screen freeze

removing setCPU seems to have radically lessened screen freezes. now i just have to observe the battery performance without it ;)

btw, you're right about disabling screen rotation not solving the screen freeze issue at all (in my case).

running:

mattc's Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b.

Radio 2.12

MicroSD : 8 Gb Class 2

Ive had very minimal SODs, Screen Freezes, or battery problems. IN fact, ive been using my Hd2 for 7 hours now, normal calling and texts, and im still at 80 percent. Using Shubcraft 1.4c.

My most common problem however is getting the black and white screen (like a negative version). I can still use the phone, but everything is in negative and black and white. This also happened all the time in my mattc sense 1.5 build in my other sd card. NO biggie, its just a pain to reset all the time. Happens around once every two days.

I'm have a Tmo LEO.

Stock, I have 2.08.50xxx no downgrade hspl, and I'm using darkstone froyo v2.1

Everything is working fine for me, no frezees no issues at all, battery life is good like 13 hours using it a lot in texting, web, watching videos on youtube and justin tv, calls etc. Calls r fine for me no robotic sound or something like it. Just working FANTASTIC.

Camera and video are working just fine also. Now my friend wants a hd2, when he used to make fun of me, telling me that I have a big phone stock with winmo, and now he saw me running android on this and he wants to buy one.

I'm using Dutty's Creme de la Creme V8 (i think, i forget now as hardly ever use Windows)

16 Gb Class 2 SD card

Shubcraft 1.4c

I use it daily.. works superbly.. even appears to be quicker than my Friend's Desire!

No problems with software either.. the games i have installed (HAWX, Dungeon Hunter, Sandstorm, HomeRun Battle) all work really well too...

Top work guys!!!

I have tried maybe 6 different combos of radios/roms and android builds and all had a few problems, until i installed chuckyrom on radio 2.12.50 and the mattc/froyo 2.2 build..

all the rest would either get SOD, or upon reboot lose the rootfs, this one is very reliable, cept the screen sometimes freezes in gem miner ( most addictive game ever) but other than that its exceptional... been stabel since yesterday morning but have rebooted 3 times to make sure its still working

So I'm finally deciding to switch to Android...

I was using Leo ENERGY Sense2.5 23678 before on WinMO and I was pretty satisfied with it...should I continue using the ENERGY roms for Android? or should I switch over mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
You can see what I'm using in the sig.

My battery life is reasonable. I get about 7 to 8 hours with pretty heavy usage.

I have Exchange email pushing between 6AM and 6PM and 30min checks off-peak.

I check another IMAP email every 30 minutes.

I have Twitter checking (but I rarely tweet).

I listen to an hour's worth of music during my workout.

I do have SetCPU active with auto settings.

I have ATK set aggressive, auto-kill every 30 min.

Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi are usually connected.

General GUI is about 80% as smooth/quick as my wife and daughter's EVOs.

Bluetooth headset audio has a slight delay in audio connection, but certainly usable.

Wifi works better in mattc's 1.5b. 3G is slow.

Absolutely zero SODs but I do have screen pauses when waking from stand-by. The pauses take 3 seconds and only occurs 2 to 3 times in a day.

Video works but low res. Camera in 5mp works great using Camera360.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nilknarf:
Living in the UK, using the official HTC Vodafone 1.66 ROM with a 16GB Sandisk Class 2 card (I have an 8GB Sandisk Class 6 card, but the increased capacity is much more useful than the negligible increase in performance). I never reformatted either card for Android, and both have been fine regardless. I'm using radio version 2.12.50.02_2, and darkstone's HD2Froyo V2.0 (2.1 doesn't seem much different, so I'm holding out for the next version now).

So far things are running very smoothly, everything just works fine. WiFi and HSDPA are both working great. GPS sometimes takes a while to lock onto satellites, but it usually gets there in the end. I initially got an occasional pause when waking the device up, but now this seems to have mysteriously fixed itself after a few days of usage (no known explanation, sorry!). No touch lag that I can see.

Also the battery life is now fantastic with this build (it only dropped 5% last night from midnight to 8am, which is much better than the v1 build which would be flat by morning from a 60% charge). Although I attribute this increase in battery life more to the Airplane mode 'workaround' more than this specific Android build though.

Actually, in case anyone's somehow missed this battery saving gem;

Plug your phone into a charger

Switch the phone into airplane mode

Press the power button (put the phone into standby), and leave it for a minute or so

Switch the phone back on and turn airplane mode off

Unplug the phone

After this your standby power usage will now be *vastly* reduced. You need to repeat this whenever you turn Android completely off and on again, but it only takes a moment to do, and lets your phone actually last a day now!

My only problem with this Android build, and the only reason I boot back up into WM besides taking good quality pictures, is the call quality. From my point of view it's perfectly clear in both WM and Android, but the person on the other end hears terrible echoes of their own voice if I'm in Android, so I can't have a decent phone conversation in Android yet (I'm considering trying ChuckyROM to try and fix this, but I've got WM just the way I like it after lots of tweaking, so I'd rather just reboot for now).

Oh yes, and the crashing on startup when using the extended battery is a little annoying, particularly as Android is more power hungry than WM at the moment, so it's where I really want to use that extended battery the most!

All in all though, I'm *very* impressed with the progress that the devs have made getting Android to this state on the HD2. I was a tad jealous seeing all the cool things Android can do on a friend's Desire, but now my phone bizarrely seems to run Android better than his does! :D

T-Mobile US HD2, 1024

build: mattc froyo w/sense 1.5b

rom: chuckydroidROM 2.10.1 *comes with kitchen*

kernel: latest (9/23/2010) (updated once after initial install)

radio: 2.10.50.26 (stock)

SetCPU (screen-off and batt<30% profiles)

notable apps: Swype

sd card: 2gb sandisk, FAT32 formatted in Windows.

Was fine first couple of days, battery drain about 1% per hour in idle/sleep with SetCPU. GPS was slow (3-5 minutes) to kick in, but worked.

Then one day, randomly, battery drain went to ~5% (no new app installed or any changes made.) Battery drain seems to be slowly worsening over time.

At the same time I notice many more touch screen freezes occuring.

Most recently outgoing mms's fail randomly, but succeed on retry.

GPS will not detect satellites at all anymore, even when letting it try for 10 min.

Now "Cell standby" and "Phone idle" routinely account for ~85% of battery usage, even with good amount of texting/browsing.

It seems like the build has been deteriorating over time but remains marginally better than WinMo as a full time OS.

Most missed features that are still in development (afaik):

- light sensor/auto backlight adjustment (can barely see screen outside, so bright it hurts my eyes if in dark place)

- notification LEDs for mms, calendar reminders, alarm, vmail, etc.

- GPS (since it stopped working... is development on GPS finalized?)

Battery drain fix attempts (I think I have found all suggestions, please let me know if I missed something!):

- setCPU (worked at first, then stopped working)

- winmo registry edits (mine were already correctly set)

- updated to latest kernel

- turning off pretty much anything and everything in android settings (background data, gps, network location, all syncs, etc.)

- turned brightness to ~25%

- airplane mode thing

- battery "calibration"

- deleting batterystats.bin after "calibration" then reboot

(Battery drain is fine (~1%/hr) in ChuckyDroidROM WinMo.)

Next I will try fresh ROMs/Builds I guess.

Hope this info helps... someone... somehow :)

Feedback:

- SOD (occassionaly) has been my main issue with this one, am pleasantly surprised that others don't seem to be having sod. Any tips?

- BT, tried yesterday, pairing was successful but didn't carry the call/sound.

- Screen unresponsiveness occassionaly.

- App that automatically start running in the background, forces you to kill apps manually every now and then.

+ Other than the above, its running smooth and has become my primary OS despite.

+ I love the nexusone/desire/whatever interface, its elegant and smooth.

only point why i dont really use android on my hd2 is the heat. i hate the overheating of that thing

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Arctic Matt:
Check your cell standby power consumption.

If you have a weak or intermittent mobile signal any time throughout the day your battery will get battered. If my phone is out of mast range for an hour or so the battery levels begin to plummet. He could just be in a really good signal area so a major part of his potential battery usage is eradicated.

Yesterday, normal usage in day time, my phone was off charge for 11 hours and down to 30%, when I checked over the battery stats "cell standby" accounted for 74% of that battery drain! (I live in an area with a dreadful signal.)

Over night the phone is next to my bed where I get a good signal. This morning the cell standby accounted for 10% of the total loss over 7 hours with my battery draining at under well under 1% per hour.

It does the same in WM but nowhere near the same levels as in the Android builds I have tried.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Trig0r:
Running Dutty Creme ROM here with the Matt1.5b build, its nice, get the odd unlock issue sometimes and every now and again the touch screen seems to go dead or long press when I just touch it which can be annpying.

Other than that the only real thing I miss is a decent free excel/word app, until I get one of them then I'll be WM as I use the phone for work and my mileage is on excel lol..

I really really like the customisability of android tho now I've had a proper play with it, only previous useage was on the missus Tattoo on 1.6 which was shockingly slow..

My next phone is due in December so dependant on what HTC bring out its 65/35 on it being Andriod/WM7 at the mo..

Your "things that made me go back to WM.." are the exact same issues that are holding me back.

Altho I have tried using Android as a main OS for a while now, the battery drain cheeses me off.

But hey, these things you must expect right? We as WM users are quite fortunate that WM as a base OS is so adaptable and "fiddle" friendly.

Much love and respect to all the devs on here.

As soon as I saw the rumours that android had come to the HTC HD2, I jumped at the chance to ditch my Motorola Milestone and see if I could get android on 'The Big Screen'.

I have loaded darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1 onto a custom rom with 2.12 radio and all seems great so far....

Pretty stable but I also have the screen freeze issue and also the touchscreen feedback/vibration seems to come and go.

One question as I'm rusty on all things re the HD2, how can I remove the "setCPU" fucntion that many of you have recommended?

Thanks a bunch for the great work guys!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
Usually all these Android builds run very smoothly and the HD2 has little trouble driving them. But it appears some Live wallpapers can seriously tax the HD2 CPU. Some of them aren't so bad but the Ocean Waves Live wallpaper puts a hurting on it. Using Launcher Pro with Memory management at the extreme and very few widgets among 2 homescreens isn't good enough to make it very responsive and smooth.

_______________________________________________________

If you want to completely remove setCPU, go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running and then scroll to setCPU and tap it. Once it opens tap Clear Data then tap Force Stop then Uninstall.

Battery life last me all day. Charge it every night. No glitches so far.

Observation: Battery apps were not compatible with this rom, it caused my phone not to charge. Once I deleted the app everything went back to normal.

HD2 sometimes takes a second before I can move things around on the screen. (Non Responsive Screen) Not a big deal though.

Long time lurker.

I now have a TMOUS 1024 with Miri / Froyostone / HSPL3.0 / Radio 2.08.50.05. Had no experience with WM or Android before I got this phone 2 months ago and WM seemed okay at first, but when I tested out another Froyo build on a second HD2 I had to have it, and I had to make it work. Now that it works near-perfectly I love it to bits.

The biggest thrill for me: getting Sipdroid / VOIP working was far easier than setting up VOIP on WM. I thought I would be trying to go plan-less with it but for now I'm keeping the unlimited voice/data I have since I use it all the time.

Minor glitches that aren't a big deal: can't set alarms, aforementioned rare touchscreen/keyboard freeze, can't Facebook sync at the moment, and no automatic brightness.

Haven't really tested battery drain yet but I have a spare phone so I can swap batteries if I'm out all night. Overall verdict is that this is awesome, I'm really pleased that there are hard-working people who put these things together for the community, and I'd like to thank them all by getting the most use out of my phone as I can. Thank you.

Answering the thread... Doing great.

12 days and going strong, with an average of 15h untill needing recharge.

my typical usage consists of:

~2h Web Browsing + RSS

~1h MP3

~30m FM Radio (going back home - commute).

Work email (exchange), synced every 15m during peak (8am~8pm).

Personal email, synced every hour during peak.

Social networks, manually synced (~5 times during the day).

~1.2h talk time (inboud+outbound, no robovoice, audio is good).

The phone is unplugged from charge around 8am, and put to charge around 11pm almost every day, with 28~19% batt charge left in it on average.

Using Artemis 31.5 + mattc leo 1.6b w/sense. (RMNET patch, since PPP was way too slow 4me! and with constant network "breaks")

Tweaked around a little with the auto settings to conserve batt.:

Manual brightness (just use the power widget, to control the amount).

no setCPU, since it sucks all the fun out of using the phone. (constant freezing).

Taskiller, set to kill on standby. (don´t forget to include your widgets on the ignore list, or else, you'll have some fun figuring out what's wrong :cool: )

Also, i use the latest autobuild of the kernel, with respective modules (tun.ko for VPN and bcm4329.ko for WiFi).

For testing purposes and feedback to the dev's. (don't use the usbhost version, if you don't know how to use it...)

Setup in my sig has been running good. I'm running it off the stock Class 2 16Gig card that came with the phone but I ordered an 8GB Sandisk Class 6 from NewEgg for $21 that will come in a few days (great price!).

I've only ran through a couple charge cycles but only lose about 10% in 7 hours in standby. I use it quite a bit during the day so by the time 10 hours passes it's down around 15%. Still, it sounds like that's better than some co-workers native Android Phones.

Just today I ran across a problem where my texts are going to the wrong people. Good thing is they weren't the dirty ones to my wife... So I'm working on finding a solution to that.
