[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] distruct:
Hello,

I installed Android on my HD2, worked perfectly for 2 weeks. But my microSD was only 2GB, so I buyed a new one.

Kingston class 4 8gb microSD. Putted everything just on the new SD card, didn't changed anything! Formatted it also to FAT32.

Now the problem is that Android is VERY slow with getting out of standby, takes sometimes 10 seconds. I get a black screen for 10 seconds and then Android comes up.

Also starting up Android takes ages and it sometimes just freezes or gives a blue screen.

Has this something to do with Android or is the microSD card broken in a way? I can still move/delete files on the microSD card.

Anyone got at solution?

Thanks

Did you try a different build? Perhaps try Mdeejay rEVOlution build, fastest build i've used so far,very very fast, smooth and stable. Also try updating your radio.

I bet there are several utilities to test the read and write speeds on your microSD card. You'll need a cardreader in your pc to do that, trying it through WM6 won't work because the USB will be the one controlling the max speeds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] murgers:
I hope this helps a lot of people struggling with the speed of android running off SD.

My suggestion is that the card size, and not just the card speed plays an important part in the speed at which android runs...

My Evidence. I first installed various builds on a variety of Sandisk 2GB and 4GB Class 2 cards. They all ran super fast... I mean no lag at all, ever. It might as well have been a Desire HD. Being that i wanted more space I used my 16GB Sandisk Class 2 that I have been using for WM, reformatted it and installed android. It was cripplingly slow. Unusable in fact. (i tried reformat/reinstall a couple of times before giving up). I then invested in a Class 4 16GB and installed the same build. Not surprisingly this was faster, usable but still not as fast as it was on the 4GB Class 2. I am going to go back the the 4GB card unfortunately until NAND arrives.

Thanks for the reply!

First i'm going to test the Mdeejay rEVOlution build, hopefully it will run smooth and fast. :) If not, i'm gonna send back my 8GB card and get a new 4GB class 4 card.

At the moment I'm running Froyostone 3.2, works now perfectly with the 2GB microSDcard.

I will post the results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
I totally agree with this, although I cannot figure out why.

I tested with two almost identical cards, both Samsung class 4, one 2Gb, one 8Gb, formatted FAT32 64k clusters via the same memory card reader/pc. The 2Gb one whizzed along with the build I'm running now, the 8Gb one occassionally stuttered and stalled. Seems odd to me, unless fragmentation comes into play maybe?

The only reason I have stuck with the 8Gb is for my music. Oh how I'd love to stick with my 2Gb card for the speed and have a second SD slot for my music.

I want to buy a new USB Cable for my Desire, however, there are a couple of things I would like it to have:

1. I would like all pins to be connected, as per the HTC cable which came with the Phone.

2. I would like it to be approx 3 - 3.5 meters long.

Is there anywhere in the UK where I could get such a thing?

Also watch out for shielding

Sorry I don't know anywhere that guarantees your requirements but one other thing you might want to consider is the shielding of the cable.

I had issues copying files to my phone for a while using two different no-name brand 'desire' usb transfer cables. It would start to copy the files then time out and give the error "Error: The path is too deep". I googled a bit but most of the errors seemed unrelated until I found one person mentioning when you get this error when working with an external hard-drive or device its most likely electrical interference with the cable. Sure enough I moved my phone cable and phone away from electrical devices near my computer and the files copied over without any hassles.

I have never had this issue using the HTC cable which is thicker and must have more shielding. Mind you the no name ones im using now i got on Ebay for $2.80 from China so the slight hassle is probably worth paying so little.

You might be better getting a HTC cable so you can be sure of its quality or just get some super cheap cables where your expectations can be low.

Good luck

I have been using this cable for 6 months now without any issues:

I know you wanted a longer cable, but this extension works fine for me too.:

I've got numerous cables/chargers all Micro USB, I have a shorted right angle ended one I bought off eBay from Hong Kong, had no problems with that whatsoever, never dropped a file transfer or anything like that.

Two HTC Official ones which are great, and long enough for me.

And an old Samsung Micro USB based wall charger, which is LIGHTNING quick, gets me from 14 per cent to 100 per cent in 40 odd mins.

Just search eBay or buy from ebuyer, the links from lewy look good too :)

What I'm trying to say is that in my experience micro-USB is micro-USB :)
[Desire Accessories] ewans:
Hmm - I went and bought this (well, 2 actually) on the above recommendation, should have checked more closely as it's the wrong cable - I think this is the right one:

I downloaded FroyoStone 3.2, and it doesnt have 3G? Or is there a way to enable it. I want to be able to use internet everywhere like i did on WinMo. On WinMo all i had to do is turn the data connection on and it worked as 3G. Whenever i try to go on the andriod marketplace or just on the internet it comes up with an error saying. "Attention! A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." Any fix? Please and thank you. :D

Have you checked your APN setting?

It is entirely possible that you may have to set up your APN. Search the forum there are threads with all the details everywhere.

Well If I go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobiles networks > Access Point Names, nothing shows up its just a black screen. How do I set it up or whatever. Ive never done this before so could someone walk me through it.

I found these links when searching on XDA.

Is anyone else having problems with 3G when running andriod on the hd2?

no 3G for me.. i have a sidekick plan, it worked fine with 3G

using froyo 2.2

once i updated to v3.2 froyostone

all i get is edge..

i tried alternatives.. adding apn settings

changing radios.

although i cant find a full hiptop internet settings write up online

all i could pull up is the apn address

im actually using the radio i had before.

between 2.2 and froyostone v3.2 theres a network settings change.

i might just go back to 2.2 and keep my 3G service working

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmt125:
Hi, I have a G1 rooted with the SuperD 1.9.3 Rom, I never partitioned my SD card or anything like that. I want to upgrade my SD Card and partition it to get Apps2SD and keep the same Rom. I am not sure what steps to take...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Which recovery do you have? If you don't yet, make sure to upgrade to Amon_Ra latest. Once you have that, reboot into recovery, select partition card and follow directions on screen. This will wipe your card completely so backup anything you want to save. It will not affect your rom in any way. You may have to move your existing apps manually, not sure.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmt125:
How do i know what recovery i have? Do I partition my current sd card or the new one?

So I do not need to reflash the Super D?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
You would boot into recovery and look to see which one you have, it will say it right on top. You will partition your new card. Absolutely no need to reflash your rom, it will recognize your ext partition and install all future apps in it automatically. As I said, I'm not sure about existing apps, you may need to move them manually.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmt125:
It says Android Sysem Recovery Utility Build: JFv1.42 There is nothing that says Partition SD or anything like that... Now my rom is on my current sd card if I don't flash it to the new one my phone still knows what rom I have? Sorry about all the questions thanks for your help =)

I was thinking of doing this to install Amon RA's recovery img

I got it from another forum in here....

Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard

Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)

select console from the menu

#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
JF's recovery does not have that option because it's really, really, really old. We did not even have apps to sd back then.

Flash RA's recovery (directions seem right, I assume you got them out of RA's thread), you'll see the difference: many more options, etc

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmt125:
Ok, so I am going to do the following steps....

1. Flash Amon Ra's recovery image

2. Reboot phone

3. Get into recovery again

4. Back up my sd card on the computer, remove sd card from phone

5. Insert new sd card, partition sd card

6. Transfer files from old sd card including update.zip which is the rom

7. Reboot phone

Let me know if I'm missing something thanks for all your help!

I'm going to do this over the weekend...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmt125:
Ok, so I got the new Amon RA recovery image but haven't done anything else...lol. So can you tell me if those steps are right? And why don't I need to flash the rom again...I currently have it on my sd card...I'm a bit confused :rolleyes:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
1. Reboot to recovery. Partition your card (I suggest 512mb for ext partition, rest is fat, follow instructions within recovery).

2. Upgrade ext to ext3.

3. Reboot (your phone will move your existing apps onto sd.) It may take a while to fully boot, just give it 10 min or so.

4. In terminal emulator type

su
fix_permissions

5. Reboot again.

5. Transfer whatever you had on your old sdcard (music, pics, etc) onto your new card.

As far as flashing the rom again.... why? Your OP says you want to keep your existing rom.

To check if your apps were moved:

In terminal:

su
ls /system/sd/app
ls /system/sd/app-private
ls /system/sd/dalvik-cache

Should give you print-out of what you have on ext partition of your sdcard (or you can use root explorer or whatever other file manager, I'm a bit old shool so I prefer terminal or adb)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmt125:
5. Reboot again.

5. Transfer whatever you had on your old sdcard (music, pics, etc) onto your new card.

Okay in step 5. Reboot again do I just type in the terminal emulator reboot or reboot recovery?

Also when you say "transfer whatever you had on your old card..." Do I also transfer the file that says update.zip?

Sorry for all the questions, I should be getting my new sd card today and will try it out tonight.

Thank you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
You just type reboot.

It is up to you what you want to transfer onto your new card. I assume that update.zip is your current rom. If so, it's nice to have just in case but it will not make any difference in how the phone works. It's just an install file that you use once (unless, of course something goes terribly wrong and we all have been there :D) but it's nice to have all tools needed on your card so you can quickly recover from any problems.)

BTW, with your new shiny recovery (RA1.7), you don't have to rename your files to update.zip. You can name them whatever you want (i.e Super-D1.9.3.zip, Recovery.zip) and, if you decide to reflash something, at least you will know what it is. Your new recovery will let you choose which file to flash so you can have more then one .zip file on your card if you want.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmt125:
Ok so I still haven't gotten my new card! It should be here next week...Anyways I tried using switchrom to store my current just in case but I get this error Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)

Any clues why I'm getting this do I need to have my phone connected by USB or something to a computer....?

Thanks hopefully I'll stop asking so many questions...I tried this solution but no luck

Ok buddy its easier if you do the whole process through the sdcard

First you should backup everything on your sdcard and do a BART or NAN+EXT then partion your card and restore your BART or NAN+EXT and your good to go

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidFreek:
Ohh ok I see ur problem it won't let u backup nand+ext if you don't have a ext

since you backed up already go ahead and throw the nandriod and any other files on sd card to your pc the format your sd create the app partion and swap partion make sure u formate it ext3 or ext4 depending on what ur rom uses put the nandroid back on sd after format and restore post if it works or not

If this don't work just reverse the process put nad back on pc format card to what is was before then put nand back on sd and restore

Ok so I tried switching my cards and formatted my new card,paritioned it, transfered the files from my other sd card, and tried to a nandroid restore...that's when I get the same error as before to do it from console.

I tried taking all the files out and repartitioning the sd card doing everything again no luck. Reflashed my rom and turned it on after it boots like normal I get a black screen. So just went back to my old sd card was getting force closes so did nandroid restore it said it did but would boot normal and get force closes.

So I reflashed my rom and reinstalled everything manually...from sd card as my market disappeared got it back after reinstalled it...

Any suggestions as I really want a bigger capacity memory card....=/

Not sure if this is the reason your having your problem but i know that when i first started testing android builds and was having blank screen freezes and hanging on jumping to kernal... my problem was actually in the folder name.lol yeah something as simple as that.

in the developers directions when they say 'make an android folder', i didn't think they actually meant 'name it Android' I thought it was a figure of speech. so i use to name the folders after the downloads themselves..like froyostone or desireHD but when i started naming them Android..i had no more problems.hope this helps. ;)
