Hey all!

I installed hastarin 7.7 yesterday evening (Holland)

I charged the battery overnight..

Strangest thing, in 5 hours it charged to 84%, I unplugged it,

battery went down to 52% in 20 minutes, then I recharged it till 94% and now it has been running 5 hours and the batterij is down to 30%

Bluetooth is on (my watch, uses bluetooth)

3G is constantly on

Screen brightness is quite low 35%

I use taskiller alot, (everytime I put screen on)

Setcpu has my cpy overclocked to max, and runs interactive: 576 - 1152 mhz

I havent had many data disconnections.

I have NO screen freezes till now

one black screen which took over 3 minutes but no restart needed

Bluetooth headset works, wifi works, just the camera and battery drain need fixing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
You guys having problems, how EXACTLY did you update?

I'm having better boot times and performance and no connection problems or screen freezes at all.

I actually completely remove the sd card aand use a card reader to move the files around.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tragedykilla:
has anyone figured out the wifi tether. any info would be great
[HD2 Android SD Development] the_amazing_tux:
Wifi tethering works for me. (Froyostone 3.2)
[HD2 Android SD Development] tragedykilla:
how did you get it to work because i went through all the steps jus to get wifi to work but when i turn on tether it keeps saying error
[HD2 Android SD Development] tragedykilla:
again im on biffmod v 1.0 with 7.7 hastarin kernel
[HD2 Android SD Development] KillaHurtz:
Dude, please use the search feature here. Darkstone has released a fix for this & it's posted all over already.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jade.N:
Help please...ALL APPLICATIONS lost when I changed the kernel! Why did that happen?
[HD2 Android SD Development] iGoOsE76:
1st I would Like to apologize to copenhagen for my rudeness last night and calling him or her a A hole... I was very frustrated with a issue i had with my phone.

ok I think I fixed my volume issue with 7.7, last night I had to redo my phone because after tampering with my phone and trying out suggestions on how to fix it, My phone started to get the robotic voice on calls. So I reformat my sd card and started all over again with Darkstone's froyo sense and updating the kernel back to 7.7 and redid the whole setup process again. not knowing that this would happen but when I made a call the volume was loud and clear and I was able to adjust it from low to high. I'm not sure what happened but it works now with no mods and adding files.

I think it fixed it's self somehow.:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
maybe it's time to recalibrate your battery? how-to is powered by search.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
You should not loose data. That is in data.img and on your SD card. Try my Alternative kernel or the kernel that came with your build perhaps.

To those complaining of battery life you must have something else wrong. Mine is fine as you can see.

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jade.N:
I did try the alternative kernel. I cannot use the kernel that came with my build. The whole point is to use hastarin ;) any more advices?
[HD2 Android SD Development] tragedykilla:
So the only way to get the wifi tethering to work is with a third party app rite now?
[HD2 Android SD Development] the_amazing_tux:
What is the name of this app you monitor your battery?
[HD2 Android SD Development] iGoOsE76:
no way my wifi hotspot works just fine. I'm using darkstone and it came with his build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] carhigh:
Tethering and hotspots are different things, arent they???
[HD2 Android SD Development] iGoOsE76:
are you talking about the app that tethers your phones internet to other devices ? cuz if you are yes we are talking about the same app. it uses the phones internet connection so you can use your phone as a mobile hotspot.. tethering to a laptop is done only 2 ways via wireless or usb.

and yes it works great for me.. nothing I had to do other then pressing the app to activate it
[HD2 Android SD Development] santu001:
Hi Hastarin, may i ask the name off that app your using to check battery state?
[HD2 Android SD Development] carhigh:
Im not talking about any app. Im talking about the difference between tether and hotspots. Tethering uses the phones conection tethered to something with a cable to share its connection. Hotspots is walking into some place that has wireless shared (hotspot) and automaticly connects to it.

They arent the same thing. Because someone has a problem with hotspots, doesnt deserve a comment that tetherng does work. Its not the same thing, thats all im saying
[HD2 Android SD Development] tragedykilla:
Ok cuz I'm running biffmod v 1.0 and I updated his 7.6 kernel with hastarins 7.7. I copied all the modules ran the script in emulator but only got wifi to work. I would prefer to use the opiton of wireless tethering within its native build but when I turn it on it keeps saying error
[HD2 Android SD Development] Life Engineer:
Ya sadi2e mch mafroud tokhsar el data li2ano el data bl data.img; barke 3meltella delete bl ghalat?!
[HD2 Android SD Development] iGoOsE76:
omg... ur a idiot.. we are talking about the same thing. there's 2 ways of tethering... wireless and usb... wireless tethering is like a mobile hotspot.. Ur phone shares it's internet connection without wires.. usb tethering connects ur phone to a computer and shares it's internet via plugged in a usb

so to answer ur questions about tethering... yes it works
[HD2 Android SD Development] ckjy:
Still experiencing regular data disconnects. I don't use my phone frequently, but I find that when I pick it up a few hours in between, I've got about a 50/50 shot of not having 3g data.

Did a clean format and using VBN 9/23 2.14 Base with 2.12.50.2 radio. Going back to Michy's R11 RMNET until the EVO kernels get their data problems resolved. It's too bad, because the PPP connections are really fast, when they work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] carhigh:
Yeah lets go throwing around insults now, real grown up of you.

wifi tethering, hardwire tethering, hotspots, yeah, thats all the same thing. Whatever smartie
[HD2 Android SD Development] iGoOsE76:
have you tried other android builds? I recommend darkstone froyosense 3.2. been on it awhile now and data is stable with 7.7 no freezes or drops for the past few days.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iGoOsE76:
glad i can clear things up for you... wasn't trying to insult you but you kept insisting that the 2 were so very different. yes I know there is such a thing as hotspots and you can use they're internet connections.. but I wasn't talking about entering starbucks or a book store. I was talking about you can use your phone as a wireless hotspot < tether> with the rite app. I'm sorry for calling you a idiot. been a very frustrating day at work...
[HD2 Android SD Development] luigipirex:
If I may intrude :D that's System Panel, you can search for it in the market as SystemPanelLite Task Manager. It's a great app, after seeing hastarin talking good things about it, I started to use it to monitor the system and also close apps to clean memory... The paid-for version has a few extras (looks like hastarin has the paid version).

By the way Hastarin, I finally got my hands on a extended battery today (bought it for less than USD $25, which I think it's a nice price, and it came with a desk charger) and so far I had no problems. Boot was ok, no overheating problems either. Is there any kind of feedback that might be useful to the kernel development?
[HD2 Android SD Development] zoftdev:
Hi Hastarin,

I found when enable bluetooth ( without connect any device ), it constantly use 67ma. If I disable it become 8-11ma.

my rom is hyperdroid 1.7 , darkstone HD2FryoStone V3
[HD2 Android SD Development] Chitown021:
I usually update by booting back into winmo, connecting my phone to my PC as a disk drive, and then moving the files around.
[HD2 Android SD Development] drewestate:
Here is the deal with wireless tethering to clear up some confusion and why some are having issues and others not.

newer evo based kernel (ie hasterin 7.7) and sense based build, ppp....working

newer evo based kernel (ie hasterin 7.7) and nexus(vanilla) based build, ppp...not working

older n1 based kernel (ie hyuang 0.1.d) and nexus(vanilla) based build,rmnet....working

this is what I have tested so far. There seams to be an incompatibility with the evo based (ppp) kernel and nexus (vanilla) based build and tethering. I to see an error like described when trying to activate tethering. Load up the older rmnet N1 based kernel and tethering works fine. I have tried using the ppp tether script floating around but that doesn't help.

Again I can vouch that tethering with hastarins 7.7 and a sense based build works fine.

Not sure why one works and the other doesn't but just trying to shed some light on the reason why some are have success and others not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2udCrRAZdK:
I found this also, but it was the same with R7.6. In addition I am using a CM based build (phireMOD CM6 V1.3) and up to this CM build I was never able to use bluetooth at all.

Something was done to this build to make the bluetooth work (I have no clue what) but it seems like everytime I go to the bluetooth page in the settings I see the "Scanning..." animation so perhaps it is constantly scanning for devices and never giving up.

I don't believe this is anything specific to this kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hashnon:
I've a bit fixed rootfs.img for phireMOD CM6 1.3, more like text editing work. :)

And bout scaning, no it isn't constantly scaning, it start scaning when you go to BT page, since most of the time you go there it is to add or remove pairing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Does this new kernel when installed shows up as follows:

2.6.32.15r7.7-gl187ebc6 #102 PEEMPT

(result of uname -a in a terminal)

Just as a check that I'm running the newest kernel (using eVO 2.2 build btw)
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
Which files amigo. I do the 'optional' files as well.

And did you confirm the settings in your startup file?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jade.N:
Walaw ya shreek, akeed ba3rif bass el data taro, data.img ma n3amala delete.

Translation: Data has been lost, the file data.img is still there and has not been modified. Once the Kernel has been modified, all the apps including the Market has been deleted.
[HD2 Android SD Development] slbenz:
Been using the new kernel the past day or so and since last night, I am not able to reduce power consumption below 58mA. At first it started about the same as v.7.6 but now it is much higher as time went on. Went back to 7.6 and see again power consumption back to normal around 5-6mA. Staying with 7.6 for the time being.
[HD2 Android SD Development] 5do12:
Using Mdeejay's Clean FroYo Sense Series i get excellent battery life with new kernel, using it with his HD 3.7 ROM, the result is far worse. A lot of the battery drainage depends on the version you are using it with.
[HD2 Android SD Development] unforseenenemy:
Odd that you aren't getting any connection, im on ATT too, for some reason i don't get an EDGE Data connect if my WIFI is turned on with previous builds....but with 7.7 my WIFI won't work even after replacing the .ko multiple times....SO my data is working as great as EDGE can get:) Haven't seen any of the other issues you're mentioning though(no reboots, no slow boot, no freezes)

What does your APN settings look like? Maybe yours is set different than mine

(Running m-deejay latest Desire HD ROM)

Hastarin: Sorry it has taken me so long(i've been using your kernels from the get-go)...just wanted to say thanks man, wonderful work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] carhigh:
You missunderstood. I have data blocked, so i can not get data. Thats what i mean by having data disabled :)

My whole SD crashed. I had to find a tool to killdisk to get it back then format fast and then format again fully. I have it back to normal. Something went fishy. I
[HD2 Android SD Development] unforseenenemy:
AH, good to hear that you werent having data issues! After the format, how is the ROM working now?
[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
Hastarin, thanks for the Kernel update, data was crazy at first? Followed other's advice and rebooted. It's been fine ever since. Still the occasional disconnect issues on PPP, but it's not the Kernel it's the wrapper that has some issues. Markinus, LeTama and others including myself have been posting pastebin logs :

logcat -b radio -v time

logcat -s pppd:v

any of these logs will help pinpoint the issues. I think some progress has already been made, I'm trying to catch up today as I was out all day.

If your having issues with new kernels, I'd suggest reboot, shut down setcpu, etc. troubleshoot your build. Every build is customized with our own settings which make it very difficult to say why something doesn't work for someone when it works great for others. So before we can say that something doesn't work, we have to look at our own setup and troubleshoot first.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bdaboy338:
) Download the latest Linux kernel image (right click, save file as)

1a) for Google Android

1b) for classical GNU/Linux based distros (Ubuntu, openemebdded, meego, maemo etc)

Be aware these build links are dynamic and will be updated once the Linux kernel source code is updated.

2) Rename the file to zImage

3) Overwrite your old zImage file with the newly obtained zImage file

are those the instructions to install the 7.7 kernel. when i download the kernel, i get a folder which also includes zimage. Can someone tell me how to do this.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
God forbid someone would actually read the included README.txt! :rolleyes:

On another note I'm actually running my Alternative kernel now for the first time. I still see a bug where the system process starts taking 100% CPU after a day or so. I want to try and see if it's perhaps related to the overclocking/undervolting or if it's another issue.

I'm also interested to see how different the battery usage really is without undervolting and AXI. I honestly don't expect it to be a huge difference.

Rebooting once a day isn't so bad but I'd rather I could run this for weeks on end. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] tzones:
I am also with At&T using HD2 with Hastarin 7.7. I can access internet only through WiFi and no data connection. The data connection keeps disconnected everytime I open an application trying to access internet. Not sure what is wrong.

thanks

[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
Hehe, I always read the README files. Now and then there's some funny stuff in there!
[HD2 Android SD Development] badmonopoly:
7.7 breaks market for me. Apps don't install and/or don't even show depending on the rom.
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
ATT data works fine for me with kernel 7.7 and bangsters 1.5. Maybe the problem is with your build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Try the Alternative or EVO build like it says in the first post. My market is fine.

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] anhtin:
Installed r 7.7 yesterday... my phone charged up to 99% and stuck there so I did a rm batterystats.bin thing, I got it to go up to 100%, but its still say its Charging, even though its 100% battery... never reach FULL like it used to from 7.6

Other than that, my call volume is normal, as loud as 7.6. My market is fine. Data connection is pretty stable.

My battery drain could be better... today, i had setCPU on and went from 100% to 48% in 9 hours, which is pretty ok.

Please help with the battery stats. Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
Again Thank you sir for your great work. It gets better every time. Battery is much better when using Setcpu. Could get about 14-16hrs now as oppose to 7hrs only a day. Data has improved 100%, did not have any drops so far. Initial full battery charge was only 99% but after rebooting and making sure battery was 100% on windows it's all good now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
7.7 is about the same as 7.6 for me, except that my wifi is working now. battery drain is the same (4mA in airplane mode, 6-8mA in ppp mode). pinch-to-zoom in google maps is VERY sensitive now, you really have to be carefull otherwise it zooms in or out completely. maybe the TS is to sensitive now?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
With the changes to the battery driver it will charge until the battery has taken less than 5mA over the last 2 minutes, then recalibrate to 100% and turn off charge. This is similar to the way WM does it (though I think it cuts out at 10mA).

I am holding off updating to the latest battery driver taken from ACE as it doesn't seem to work with the extended battery and I can't see an easy way to modify it to do so. :(

Here is my general advice on battery usage.

Your screen brightness is probably your #1 usage of battery. Set it to manual and keep it as low as you find reasonable.

If you want location to work and leave GPS on make sure you also leave WiFi on. Apps that don't require an exact fix will use WiFi (and cell data) for the fix.

I am presuming WiFi with a decent signal is going to use less power than 3G, etc Use it when/where you can. I have WiFi at home, my brothers, my mates house, etc

Be careful using SetCPU as you can actually make the drain worse! Overclocking will gain you VERY little (search this thread for benchmarks I posted) and is generally not worth doing. Locking the CPU to a low speed, even when the screen is off, may cause you to get wakeup lag. The system is smart. It doesn't use more CPU then it needs to and the CPU slows down when not in use to reduce power usage.

Do NOT run Taskiller, or any other automatic task killer. The out of memory management built in to Froyo 2.2 is more than adequate in normal circumstances.

Get System Panel Lite and if you have a run away process that's decided it just wants to chew up CPU for no good reason then kill it manually with that. Normally I've only had the system_server process do this, in which case you need to reboot the phone.

There was mention of an app that warns you when processes misbehave in this thread. If you're interested then use the search button.

I hope that clears a few things up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] clyder:
I also had power consuption like that on 7.6 and now I cant get it under 60mA. Last night when I went to bed battery was on 32%. When I woke up phone was off. For me going back to 7.6 didnt change it back to normal. It is still 50-60mA on standy. Only thing that is different is now I dont have that error message when android first boots.

Today I am bying a Class6 8MB card so I will do a clean install of everything. Maybe my system is messed up somehow.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bingoig11:
Was running 7.6 version on Mdeejay ForYo HD 3.7:

Had a lot of music stuttering but nice datas.

Upgraded to Hastarin 7.7, music stuttering disappeared but data connection drops.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chris-m:
very good work hastarin, my quadrant score is 2015 @1152mhz. GrEAT! :)

My android is a bangters 1.5
[HD2 Android SD Development] 5do12:
Sounds like hastarin's 7.65 kernel should work for you...

Sorry, just kidding, for me HD 3.7 and 7.7 kernel works great, can it be that your WM version has something to do with it? I always leave airplane mode on in WM, then boot Android. No problems so far...
[HD2 Android SD Development] LondonTownGuy:
Try the alternative 7.7 kernel data is more stable for me on this one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bingoig11:
I'll try the trick, thanks ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] unforseenenemy:
What are your APN settings you are using?
[HD2 Android SD Development] clyder:
After a while power consumption went back to about 5mA, so I did a test and returned 7.7 kernel and after that it wasnt lower than 50mA. Also the "Proccess is not responding...." message was back. I kept it like that for half a day, and right now I switched back to 7.6 again and imidiately it was less than 10mA in standby and Batteryminder show 16h left instead of 9h with 72%.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Frakatchoo:
I've a high battery drain with 7.7 too. Don't remember this with 7.6.
[HD2 Android SD Development] northern247:
7.7

Had no problems with 7.7 before...

Swapped builds which uses different kernels all together and having more data drops than I ever did with hastarin.

I maintained 5ma sleep drain.

I plan on switching back to hastarin as soon as I get back to a computer (during on my phone)
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Did you notice any difference in volumes between 2 & 3? Because I halved the gain changes that gauner1986 had made from the original git tree to see if that improved things.
[HD2 Android SD Development] plotzkella:
For me the stuttering of playing music occurs in every build with an evo-kernel (original build or hastarin). I've tested so far:

mattc1.8

mattcevo1.0.1

mdeejay2.2

Another user thinks that the problem is g-sensor related:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8264714&postcount=7376
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Hmm, I do have Rotate Screen disabled, but I haven't disabled my g-sensor.

The g-sensor support is now quite solid. I played Glyder 2 the other night for quite a while and only had one glitch with it.

I don't exactly listen to music from my phone all day, but I've listened to a half dozen songs without any issues. I definitely DID have this problem in the past though to the point where I wouldn't even consider playing music on it.

And of course I'm using the Desire HD Beta 2 build. If you can live without a camera in Android you might want to try it, though I do recall people reporting the problem with it as well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] plotzkella:
The problem is that I can't live without the camera and another problem is that I even don't get the desire beta2 build to boot. :mad:

But maybe you could forward the music issue to the devs because al lot of people are suffering the same problem. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
They're aware of it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jaedolla:
Honestly i didnt notice any volume difference from 2 & 3. What i did was call 4 different people with kernel 2 to see if they all give me the same problem and they did. Then i applied kernel 3 and called 4 different people and all 8 complained about eco and loud background noise.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Hmm, it may not be related to the gain changes at all then.

When I get a chance I'll see about putting up a test build with those gain values set back to the original git tree values, but for now I need to sleep. :D

Meanwhile if you care to post your ROM/Radio it won't hurt to have that data as well.

Of those people I've seen in various threads reporting the issue only 1 supposedly had the same radio I'm using.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jaedolla:
Im using ozdroid rom for windows. Radio 2.12.50 and shubcraft 1. 5. :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
I have to test it more intensivly but my first impression is: AWESOME! Hardly any lags, no wake-up lags, and with Radio 2.14 it seems awesome so far, battery drain is at 7mA.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HTC_HDD:
Hi,

i have installed: mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8, latest Radio and ChuckyDroidROM.

I like mattc 1.8, but battery drain is to high and so i installed this kernel.

Its my first Kernelupdate, i just copied all files to Android folder, is that right?

Because now i cant turn on wifi :/
