Give Titanium Backup a try next time. It backs up your apps and data (and more) and you can selectively restore. Really a timesaver! I only use it to backup user apps, data and some settings (so no system apps, to avoid conflicts with different builds).

Hi Hastarin,

I am an ardent follower of all your Kernels, r8 is way too awesome, sooper smooth and good on my battery, like you mentioned, I was using r7.6 br r8 never saw the major data freeze until r8 where I need to restart the phone.. I am confident these issues will be fixed soon.. Thank you once again for your Kernels...
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
Just plugged in r8 to my current CM ROM and it boosted speed immediately, everything works great and the responsiveness greatly improved. I was using uv and OC kernels but I think I'll stick with this one since it runs just as fast with no issues.

thx for the hard work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
this has happened to me on many kernels before so i dont think it is an r8 issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] apeatan:
Hi jmmmm,

How does your hyperdroid doing with r8? My yahoo mail ang yahoo chatting is sync now and some xda browsing, after 2 hrs my battery is 83%. I'm on 2g. What do you think about it? If that is highi think i'll go back to 7.6.
[HD2 Android SD Development] apeatan:
-same here. Had it before with the other kernels.

something weird with the patch for wifi mac address.It works ok with darkstone froyostone 3.2 but it cannot work with mdjaey 3.7 desire hd build :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] jmmmmm:
r8 is working great for me. I do have occasional daa drops but no hangs. It just resets the data by itself and keeps going. With reguard to your battery and usage... You should keep the screen brightness has low as what is comfortable for you. The autobacklight works great once its setup correctly. Im not familar with Yahoo chat so I cant comment on its effect on batteries. But just with the basic math your looking at about a 12 hour "backlight on" battery with the info you gave me (considering you need the backlight for chatting).

Check out this link. http://blog.gsmarena.com/htc-hd2-battery-test-ready-not-bad-at-all/ take note of the backlight settings it talks about.
[HD2 Android SD Development] idevmag:
hey hastarin

wifi still drops after some time when phone is not in use (let say after 30 min for example) and wifi policy is set to NEVER. This problem was exist on most of the kernels so nothing new but good to fix this when you get some time. I am using ppp r8 with darkston 3.2 desire build.

Thanks

[HD2 Android SD Development] Ronbl:
Have a look at post #1853, 1857 etc... it's a known issue. After a clean install it is working fine for me for a few hours now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shadiku:
AFAIK, This is a touch-screen freeze. Caused by the G-Sensor.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wheeliemonster:
Definitely. Get it mostly when walking and typing!
[HD2 Android SD Development] apeatan:
-thanks bro...truth is i'm quite happy with r8 now. seems i'm having a lower consumption while phone is in use not like before with the previous kernels. Though my standby now is at constant 6-7mA even data is turned off where in before it is 3-5mA.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to check it out.

For those having problems with it try letting settle down for a while a do some reboots. On my 1st install my hd2 got warm. But eventually it normalized.

Thanks for this one hastarin!:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bronx:
just reporting about r8 - at night hd2 "ate" only 4% of batt in 5.5h. sweet... data seems to be ok, market problems from time to time (not sure if related to kernel though).

no setcpu or any task killer.

in general - one big step closer to perfection. thanks Hastarin. :cool:

Robot Voice

I've been using ChuckyDroid and MDeeJays Froyo HD v3.7 for a week or two but decided to update the kernel to r8 from the original r7.6. Since the upgrade i've been suffering Robot Voice. I'm rolling back to the defaults but just wondering if anyone else has suffered this?

been running it since your release and since then all I had was one time data drop. but then a simple reboot fixed it. I took out all task killer and set cpu just as you advised to do and battery drains 5-7 mAh and it seems to go through my whole day at work with out recharging, I dont play games at work because work keeps me busy but i do look through my phone a lot at emails and messages.

Suggestion - possible to provide overclock as a kernel module and un-perflocking so those of us who wanna play around with over/underclock settings can do so?
[HD2 Android SD Development] socrated13:
Hi, I know this is a pretty novice question, but how do I update my wifi module so that I stop having errors with Wifi when I use r8? Every build I try with r8(just dropping the kernel in) I end up with my wifi saying "error" and not being able to turn on.

Can anybody help me out? :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] @itsboiboi:
there should be a "read me" file inside hastarin's kernels and that'll walk you through it
[HD2 Android SD Development] captainhakan:
What does that suppose to mean? I didn't get it. Is it a tweak for adding extended battery support to r8 or something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Gary.M:
Hastarin, R8 working well here. The one thing I am pleased to find is that the battery gauge seems more accurate now. My phone used to shut down with a completely flat battery when the gauge was in the mid 30s. Today with R8 it's showing 12% and still running, although the prompt to charge battery popped up at 15%. I have never had the prompt appear before. GREAT!
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Thanks. :)

It means he sent me a donation for working on it.

No. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8939966&postcount=1829
[HD2 Android SD Development] Downy:
This code is a transaction code from paypal and means he donated money to Hastarin for his already done and future extended battery support.

Thanks for this!

If you can, please also donate. Hastarin will buy an extended battery for testing when he got enough money.

Its a win-win situation, he can test and use an extended battery and we all users might get faster and maybe improved support for these batterys in future kernels.

Also its a little “thanks“ for the work he did for extended battery users until now.

So if you are using or planning to use extended battery consider to donate some bucks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] sorodrigo:

Unfortunately I'm back where I started two days ago. After doing a fresh install of Mdeejays FroyoHD 3.7 with kernel r8, my mobile internet connection is gone again. After being on Wifi the past few days mostly (and being away from home to short to notice that I was without mobile data) I noticed this morning that my phone is unable to connect to 3G again :(.

It must be some interaction with the kernel, as my wifes phone, running r7.7 is having no problems at all.

My symptoms:

- 3G is not automatically connected when wifi is disconnected

- Although Mobile Internet is 'ticked' in settings, it doesn't connect automatically on boot (when Wifi is turned off)

- When unticking and ticking again in settings, it starts connecting. I can see the 3G icon pop up briefly, it triggers autosync, but it drops the connection immediately. It gives no error, just disconnects.

Network coverage is good (as my wifes phone is connecting fine), settings haven't changed in the past two days (since I got it working), but unfortunately it stopped again.

I'd really like to (help) resolve this. Can anyone (hastarin?) help me to provide me more info (logs etc) about this issue?

R8 is, besides this issue, by far the best kernel released. It's fast, it's very efficient with the battery (finally charges to 100%). I'd really like to have it working with mobile data.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Check your APN settings haven't changed our corrupted somehow.

Other than that I can only suggest trying another build or asking on the build thread. Data is working well here. I've been almost a day now without it playing up for more than a few seconds here and there.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Macelangelo77:
Hi hastarin,

Thanks for replying so quickly,

I checked them (allthough nothing changed) and deleted them, reentered them, checked them but they're correct.

Too bad the build you're using isn't released to the public yet. Apparently there are some incompatibilities with Mdeejay v3.7 (like the wifi mac-patch). I really don't want to roll back to r7.7 now I've had a taste of r8 :).

I'll guess I'll try another build. Isn't there anything I can contribute to have this sorted out? It would surprise me if I'm the only one having this issue. Doesn't pppd produce logs somewhere, or did you remove that too in this release?

Sincerely,

[HD2 Android SD Development] chris_ah1:
installed R8 into mdeej HD rom. Wifi now works - yay.

Everything seems good...BUT....had about three data disconnects yesterday, another two or so today.

Always in the evening too......and now I'm getting longish periods where there is simply no signal at all even though the phone usually has no problem in the area.

Might roll back to the last 7.x one.

I also find that the battery definitely does not last as long without setcpu and AXI etc. Unfortunately I've found R8 (despite the lack of undervolting) more unstable than R7x.....

freaky huh???
[HD2 Android SD Development] eenbox:
Well, I guess update would not hurt anyone :) ...

So, after SODs for the short period of time I've updated my ROM (Tmobile Stock) 3.14 and as well my radio with it which is now 2.15 I believe... That stripped down complete Apps from my WinMo setup and I only installed BSB Tweaks to turn-off couple of things, adjusted automated light in settings, switched to airplane mode and booted into Android shubcraft 2.0 build with hastarin r8. No OC is needed for me since shub/hastarin is the smoothest possible combination so far - anyway, I got to charge my phone yesterday evening and here are results:

I have been using my phone for 19 hours now (overnight on stand-by of course) with lots of Google Voice texting, several phone calls, Android Market updates and installation of few apps, alarm use two times, calendar usage for two meetings with reminders - ALL THIS and my battery is currently at 54%!!! I have not measured yet with CurrentWidget BUT will do later - I wanted to do testing without as I think Current Widget takes quite some memory as well :) ...

LOVING IT!!!!!!!!!

[HD2 Android SD Development] Macelangelo77:
You're not going to believe it, but I've found the culprit of my connection problems with 3G. Tonight I installed Mdeejays Froyo Sense Clean 2.1. Everything worked fine, until I restored my backup. I tested 3G, it went down again as soon as it was initiated. I realised it had to be something with one of my apps. I started to uninstall everything which could have any relation to the connection. Nothing worked, untill I noticed I had Switch Pro Widget installed. I hadn't used it for some time, but apparently at some time I manually turned off the 3G connection. However, switching it off with Switch Pro Widget does not disable it in settings. It just blocks the connection. Allthough the widget wasn't active, apparently it started blocking my 3G connection in the background as soon as I upgraded to r8. I've uninstalled Switch Pro Widget (after I enabled 3G on the widget) and my 3G connection came up and stayed up :) :)

Finally (after three days of frustration) I found it!!

Now I'll switch back to Mdeejays Froyo HD build (I think), allthough the Sense Clean v2.1 is fast too.

Hastarin, keep up the good work and thank you for your support and your patience!

Mac

I just started noticing the same thing here. I have to tap on the screen and it will then light up.I also am getting a lot of gsensor 3-5 second freezes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jmmmmm:
Is anyone else using r8 with the gsensor ON and autorotate ENABLED experiencing TS freezes? If you are not...

a. Did you use any particular fix?

b. Are you using a CM6 build?

I dont know or think this is a kernel issue, just looking for folks with similar setups that might have this licked.

Thanks.

I don't know where you got your copy from but there is no bin folder in the archive I uploaded.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Downy:
Glad to welcome you in the group of extended battery users or at least owners :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] curiousGeorge:
What on Earth? That's horrible. How come so many users are having all these random problems? This hasn't happened once to me and I'm always overclocked (FroyoStone 3.2, Hastarin r7.7). In fact, I don't get any freezing, blackouts, or any real trouble. I just keep the phone at 1.15Ghz when the screen is on and 245mhz when the screen is off. Coming back from standby occasionally gives me 3mA battery drain... system is fast as hell, too.

I'm inclined to think there is something amiss with certain Android builds or kernels (or certain programs or configurations performed by the user). The same is true of Winmo. True, there are some problems that can never be solved (see audio delay in Winmo), but really now -- I'm curious (heh) as to whether or not these problems persist in other builds. Or if they have something to do with data (I don't have/use data).
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Hehe Yeah I'll use it for testing, but not sure it will be for more than that since the phone won't fit in my car kit with it on.

Things still have a way to go yet to be as stable as WM. Some of us are just more lucky than others with our usage of the phone, the builds we're using, etc.

I haven't had a sleep of death or hard lockup in months now (since formatting my SD card and switching to EVO based kernels).

Builds/radios and user programs (see post earlier about a widget preventing 3G usage) definitely contribute to all these issues. Non-Sense builds have the blackout problem with auto-brightness. Users need to either turn off the option or use the workaround that has been mentioned many times (place it under a light bulb). CM6 builds can tweak their mapping of light sensor values to backlight values.

In the past I'd seen system_server (ProcessStats) cause issues after about 14hrs (start taking 100% CPU and logcat shows continual exceptions) but, perhaps due to testing causing me to reboot more regularly lately, I haven't seen that since r8.

Data could be an issue. There is still a crash with it that causes smd_tty to take all the CPU it can get. I've been rebooting when I've had it in the past, but have been told you should be able to stop/start the ril-daemon. Of course since I was told that I haven't had the issue, and I've now used too much of my data quota to keep testing data issues this month. :(

Perhaps I'll use future donations to upgrade my data plan for more testing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] curiousGeorge:
Oh, snap. The longest I've gone without rebooting is just under that. Jeez, now I know there's a ticking time bomb awaiting me... how often does this occur? Is there any way around it? (Is a clean reboot possible at that point?)

Yeah, I was there (you yelled at me!). Does "data" also consist of sending MMS messages? Because now I'm scared.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
The fact is only occurs after such a long uptime makes it difficult to say. My phone is usually rebooted before that to try a new kernel/wrapper/etc

No idea how MMS works, I've never bothered with one myself, I just send an email.

There is a possibility that the new ril wrapper from LeTama/Cass (which detects pppd is down and restarts it), or the patch to lo/hi mem by LeTama, will help prevent the smd_tty issue but I can't confirm that, only that I haven't been able to reproduce it since using the wrapper. Not that it was something I could consistently reproduce before the wrapper either! :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blades:
Found the 'catch' regarding the removal of ipv6 in kernel. Google Goggles doesn't support kernels lacking ipv6, weird huh? No strange errors, it explicitly says it requires ipv6 support.

Strange ****... I'd like to know how goggles actually uses it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Glad you found that before I released a kernel without it. Perhaps the servers they use for it are IPv6 only.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blades:
Couldn't be... there would be more issues with users using 'goggles' on a network that does not support ipv6.

http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/

http://ipv6.google.com/

^^ try that one out.

I wouldn't be surprised to find a couple other (google) programs that have issues with no-ipv6... But.. thats a good thing, because unless I'm actually using the app (and thus notified of ipv6 requirement), I don't want it to 'work'. Google tends to have random stuff launch in the background.

I should create a module and a 'gscript' i can run to load ipv6 prior to running goggles. .2MB off the kernel is significant. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] glofiishx500:
Thank you for the great work. I'm using mdeejay FroYo sense 2.7 and everything works fine expect a major problem:

when I plug the phone into the stock power supply it charges normaly without asking any questions. BUT when I plug into my car kit or even in a third-party usb power adaptor with standard usb cable it will remove AUTOMATICALLY my sd card and it still does not ask any question. But the setting for pc connection defaults to 'charge only' and 'ask'. when I unplug the cable the card gets ready again. This is a big problem because I cannot use google speach navigation without sd crad.

with r.7.4 I did not have this problem, it occured first (only sometimes) with 7.6 and now with r8 it happens every time. Does the kernel make wrong detection of the connected pins of the usb plug even if there is no pc at the end - only power supply?

And why it removes the sd card without asking?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blades:
Try plugging the micro-usb end of the cable into the phone first, once connected.. then plug into power source. Its not really a suggestion or a theory - it a solution that works for me. I have some usb power-only sources that are falsely detected as usb/data power sources.
