[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gus_chi:
I have a suspicion that this may indeed be the issue at hand. I hate speculating or making broad generalizations, therefore I will conduct a small observational experiment. My issues with Android on the HD2 didn't arise until I switched Radios from 2.10 to 2.11. With 2.10, I was getting horrible cellular reception and after much frustration, I flashed the radio to 2.11. Cellular reception improve astronomically though, the SOD became an issue within Android. It is important to note, however, that with the quick development of Android on the HD2, I have flashed several different Android variations since then therefore I will not have a true experimental control. My results will purely be subjective. I will report tomorrow sometime during the evening EST considering it is currently 3:09am and I have a Molecular Genetics lecture in the morning.

FYI, I will be trying the 2.12 radio.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gus_chi:
I'm back with a shocking discovery. Once I transitioned to the 2.12 radio from the previous 2.11 radio, all SOD issues disappeared! Now another problem remains and that is cellular reception. With 2.12, my signal strength is ****. Though, I'd take a missed txt every now and then over constant SODs. I will give 2.10 a try tomorrow (I am aware that there are two versions of the 2.10 so I'll select one at random and report my findings). This is great news and further gives reasoning to the forum members who first made this discovery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gus_chi:
With the 2.10.50.28_2 radio, SOD have continued. Therefore, I have reverted back to the 2.12.50.02_2 radio.

I am now going to continue enjoying the Android experience but will answer any questions if anyone needs some assistance that I may be able to provide. Bear in mind that for this small experiment, I made sure to keep as many variables constant as possible to reduce the likelihood of something else affecting the results. Factors such as: WM ROM used, Android Build & Kernel, overall moderate daily use, et.al were these constants.

Results:

2.10.50.28_2 | SOD (to the point where it was aggravating every once in a while)

2.11.50.26 | SOD (to the point where the phone was unusable every single the time the screen shuts off)

2.12.50.02_2 | No SOD thus far
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thecreep:
IMO SOD is not radio related, I have tried almost all radios and almost all winmo / android builts but all have the same SOD issue... some more some less...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] a128farias:
is there any fixes yet? makes me so sad
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ghis1:
This is only my observation but you have to know that until Android is on the SD card and not NAND, you will most likely have some problems here and there with some SOD at some occasions and hardware problems as well like GSensor. This is normal in a way, since an SD card installation is not made to for constant usage like we are doing with Android and is not the fastest either. A lot of those problems will disappear once they find they way to send it to NAND, if they ever find the way, hopefully...

Though as per another suggestion, changing the SD card could be beneficial since an SD card is not made for constant read/write like a typical NAND memory. Obvisouly the SD card will die much faster and will, at some point in time, starting to show some problems like SOD or others. It is NOT MADE for running an OS all the time, it's only a temporary fix, a typical flash card is about 100k life cycle if I'm not mistaken (read/write) and there's a LOT of read/write on an OS...

I would really suggest you to change the SD card if you start having too much SOD, or try reinstalling from scratch. Reinstalling and copying the image data is not always recommended especially if you're passing from a different build (sense/non sense for ex.) from different users. Changing the radio sometimes has some good effects, but mostly on the hardware side like echo in the voice or better reception, etc...

Also the WinMo ROM build you use could have an effect too, chucky droid is popular and a radio of 2.10 or 2.12 is commonly used as well.

Sorry for the long text... though I hope it helps some of you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
Android is not "running on the sd." The android system is loaded into memory from sd at boot. The only thing the sd controls is the boot speed. Think of it this way: when you boot your pc, your operating system is loaded from your hard disk into ram. Having a slow hard disk doesn't really affect the speed of your OS besides boot and file read/write.

Sod or freezing is most definitely a kernel issue.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cheezaliciouz:
i had SOD problems for a long time while i was running tmobile stock radio, literally everytime the screen shut off it SODed, flashed to 2.12 and havent had one SOD since and i have been running like this for three days straight. i cant say the radio is the problem fix for everyone, but it definitely worked for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blazzr:
+1 on the g-sensor culprit. Here's my experience (from another thread):

I think it is SD card and MOTION SENSOR related:

If I remove the SD card, I don't have the SOD problem. I tried with freshly formatted Sandisk 8GB and 16GB cards (Class 4 and 2), also tried formatting the 16GB card with 64kb clusters.

If have the phone on the table and accept the call (with hardware button or onscreen button), there is no SOD (screen stays on) UNTIL I pick up the phone from the table (=move it)!!! Then in a second or two the screen turns off (and goes to SOD). Disabling auto-rotate screen does not help. So in effect, I can avoid SOD if I don't move the phone after accepting the call

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
I am being little bit confused and here I just spent about 20 minutes searching but no answers found - could not find any sticky's under HD2 either - so please leave me a link if I missed it somewhere.

1. What is RMNET and what is PPP? Difference and advantages of one over another?

2. data.img - there are different sizes; is bigger size better and what it contains to make it better or worse?

3. zImage - I usually download complete builds and they already have zImage - what is the advantage of getting it individually and just replacing the file alone?

Thanks everyone in advance...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sichroteph:
Not that noob.

ppp and rmnet are protocols used in internet (not wifi but 3g)

For now, ppp is faster but not stable, you will loose connection sometimes.

Data.img represent your internal memory into android. I suggest you not taking 512, I have 1go and its fine to install a lot of programs. They're no difference in speed.

Zimage kind of represent all the drivers into your phone. If you take the latest build, you have the latest zimage. But it is much more easier to change 3 files every 2 weeks rather than changing the whole build and installing again your programs right ? :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
In addition to that data.img: 1gb can only be used w/ HD2's that have a gig internal memory (Oh hey, thanks Captain Obvious!): the O2 (and maybe others too) have only 512MB.

Apparently not true, my bad.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
Thanks everyone!!! :)

Now it makes lot more sense to me when I read some of the posts that talk about these things I asked above about.

I do have US Tmobile version with 1GB so that should be ok. I currently have 768MB data I believe with the build I got in last night...

What is going on with 2GB DATA images? I assume it reserves 2GB space on SD Card and installs it there?

Anyway - thanks much on quickly answering my questions!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mtk87:

[Captivate General] quarlow:
I have a few audio books that I want to listen to on my phone. These files are mp3 files. I found an app that will let me bookmark the files like audiobooks (Audio book player). The problem is that now in the music player it shows all the tracks of the audio books. I found a way to exclude the audio book files from the music app ( .nomedia file in the folder). But the audio book app doesn't see them now.

Is there a way to exclude a certain folder from being seen in the music app but seen elsewhere? Or, is there an audio book player app that can see the contents of a folder, instead of seeing "music" from the media scan.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Nevermind ... some additional Googling found tinyPlayer. It gives me the audio book functionality with folder view not using the "music" on the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunkstar1:
I installed RyanZa's One Click Lag Fix app, rooted the phone, installed EX2 Tools, then ran the lag fix. I'm not having any problems with my phone, but I just want to learn and be prepared when the Froyo OTA updates start happening.

I figure the safe thing to do before applying the Froyo update would be to undo the lag fix and unroot. Is this true?

Anyone have experience undoing OCLF? After this, is the phone just like it was out of the box assuming no custom ROMS were ever flashed?

1 - undo lag fix

2 - unroot

3 - remove EXT2 tools (what is this anyway?)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunkstar1:
I was able to get the answers to my own questions, so here they are just in case this is helpful to anyone else.

There's no need to unroot because it will get replaced by the update. Same thing for EXT2 tools, but it wouldn't necessarily hurt to be safe in either case. Lag fix has to be undone though, because there's a pretty good chance you could lose data if you don't.

Note: EXT2 tools are basically utilities used by the Lag Fix to make sure it works the way it should.

The built in camera app is actually one of the best I've ever seen on any phone. BUT, vignette's amount of options is incredible, if you play with the settings correctly you can literally take photos and automatically process them with effects etc that would require a copy of photoshop to recreate them with a standard digital camera. Interface on vignette bugs me though, they should take a hint from the camera on the galaxy.

I know there is a X10a and a X10i I need to know if her X10a will get her 3G in Germany before I get the unlock code.

I don't know what services are available in Germany or what firmware you are putting on, but if it is available, it should still work. Debranding and unlocking don't take away the capability as long as it was available in that firmware and service is available in your area.

You need to have carrier frequencies to use the 3G. has nothing to do with the firmware but only the hardware.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pco.vaz:
That's right, 3G on the X10a won't work in Europe, or most of the rest of the world.

A little rant: Why do the US insist on always changing something instead of using the international standard? I can see no advantage in that to either their citizens or foreign travelers that visit the US. Just to mention a few: only 3 countries in the world don't use the metric system (US, Liberia and Myanmar), the cellphone bands are standard pretty much everywhere else, most countries have 220v energy (though the plugs vary in format you don't need a transformer). It's a bit like the English driving on the left side. It benefits no one.

Hey guys and girls. Recently someone decided to steal my stereo out of my 96 GMC Sonoma :mad: So I have a big hole in my dash and I should be getting my pre-ordered Fascinate tomorrow, as soon as Best Buy gets them in :)

The question I had was whether or not anyone here has the knowledge or could point me in the right direction to allow me to use my phone in place of my stereo. I was thinking of getting a dash mount and installing it in the dash where the stereo once was and routing the charger underneath as well. What I don't know is anything about the 3.5mm out. I know you can plug a 3.5 mm to RCA to get video out. I read a story today of how QuickPay has come out with a credit card reader that uses the 3.5mm port. I haven't found a good site that gives the specs on the output of the 3.5mm port audio tho.

I have the wiring diagram for my trucks electrical system, tho it doesn't show the impedance of the speakers. I know with my guitar amps and cabinets those specs matters and don't want to fry my phone by connecting it to the speakers with a rigged 3.5mm out to home made harness. I'm assuming there is hardware in the stereo that amplifies the signal to allow it to play on the 6 stocks speakers, but i'm not sure. I'm proficient with a soldering iron and have no problem heading to Radioshack for parts.

I dont know. If its as easy as going from the 3.5mm out to splitting it to the speakers, that would be great and I can do that. If i need to get a small amp and wire it in between the phone and car speakers I can do that too. Any ideas, I'd be more that happy to hear them.

If there is a better forum to pose this question, let me know. Otherwise I appreciate you time for reading such a long post and any feed back you may have.

Thank you.
