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

I'm new to the hd2. I'm running chuckyrom lite with shubcraft 2.0 with hastarin's 8.2 kernel and I THINK my radio is 2.15.50.14... But I'm not sure. (how do I check?)

I lose my data connection every minute or so, pretty much crippling the usage of this device.

So far my searching has turned up methods that don't work (toggling airplane mode, etc)

Is there a more stable build I can be using? Or anyway I can reduce the connection drops?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xguntherc:
I also have a similar problem. I have a completely stock WinMobile HD2 with the latest 2.15.50.14 also and I'm running DarkStone v3. This is my first Android ROM on the HD2. I've had it for about a week now.

I've ran my N1 for about a year now. I still have it and I'm just playing with the HD2 for now. I get the same drops as you where my service will just stop. A lot of the time my phone still show's full bars for reception. I think I'll set CM settings to give me a readout instead of the bars to see when I loose signal.

Very often when I do YouTube, or enter the Market, or the browser it will lag and get no connection for 30 seconds or more sometimes. Then start working, and occasionally I have to toggle Airplane Mode. But I'd love to be able to get a smooth and stable use out of it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] crazynotrt:
My darkstone v3 did the same thing till i down loaded new libhtc_ril_wapper v0.3, internet no longer cuts out.

battery drain is already bad enough tho

is there a way to get the rom off of a focus, if so does somebody want to do it for me please,
[Vibrant General] JD76:
I have tried updating the modems, rooted and flashed various bionix, and other roms... My phone's GPS is always placing me a few blocks away from my location and never shows me where I really am... you think the phone's GPS radio is faulty? Grounds for asking for a replacement? I got the phone back in July.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Mine seems to always have a huge bubble around it in Google Maps.

However, I downloaded Bing from the market and it works fine, and is very accurate. It doesn't have Voice Guidance, but I can deal with that. I'm starting to think it's just Google Maps that is pretty much trash... EDIT: Or maybe the GPS Software/Driver in our phones are just finicky, because both Google Maps and Bing are spot on on my HD2.

Also, when I test I make sure GPS is on and Network (Tower-based) Location is off, and I'm not connected to a WiFi hotspot.
[Vibrant General] manticore1977:
I was just about to box mine up and sell it on eBay...but the retentions rep I talked to at T-Mobile seemed pretty knowlegeable and said there was some hardware faults with the first batch and assured me that a replacement would fix it. (or at least he was a really good talker, but he didn't sound like he was reading a script). I'm expecting it this week and will see if that is true or not.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitesox311:
apparently, over at the vibrant dev forums, they've got some "JK2" roms that have window animations ive never seen before....really cool looking stuff

one of the devs over there says its part of the framework....anybody tried to unlock these animations or are they possibly just part of the JK2 rom specifically?

hey guys ,need sum help,why is my internet comsuming so much money,ddnt have ths problem with my old N70 nokia phone,do using a different web browser have affect the money comsuption or is the phone???

thnx in advance :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffordlee:
I believe that the integrated Opera Mobile browser has its compression technology (aka Turbo Mode) switched off by default. This would mean that you'll be downloading web pages in full most of the time, including images at full resolution.

If you want to save on data charges:

1. Either turn on Turbo Mode via typing 'opera:config' (without the '') in the address bar→ Type in 'turbo' in the Quick Find search field

2. or simply use opera mini for windows mobile instead if you're lazy to toggle the Turbo Mode on and off

3. The latest version of Opera10 Mobile allows you to enable turbo mode conveniently from the settings shortcut gui instead of it being hidden deep in the preference web editor

Go to http://m.opera.com on your HD2 or visit http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/versions/ on your PC to download Opera Mini 5.1.

thnx man....i realy appreciate the advice.....am a newbie so i need all the help frm u experiences guys..
[Streak 5 Android Development] Azamatka:
Nice one! It would help dramatically, expecially to the newbies, if you kinda add some small hints there like 'press shut down button to go to upper menu'.
[Streak 5 Android Development] homeiss:
Recovery looks good. I tried to do a nandroid backup a couple times but the screen just went black mid backup both times and I had to pull the battery. The third time I booted back in I was just looking through the menus and the screen went black again. Not sure what's causing this, just thought I would let you know.

Thanks for your work!
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Thank homeiss! This is exactly the feedback I was looking for. Anyways, I uploaded a new version of the Recovery and the nandroid backup is working correctly. It seems as if the kernel was the culprit. Thanks again!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] gingernator007:
Very impressive work, much better than the hacked ported cw recovery we've had up until now. The only small issue I can find is that the 'advance' setting probably should read 'advanced' but that's just trying to find fault.

I think you should give it a better name so it's not confused with the stock dell recovery...how about Streakovery!
[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
Awesome,

Glad to see it on the forums at last mistadman

I know you have put a hell of a lot of work into this [on IRC at what hour??] and the community here will only help strengthen the recovery

Downloading now :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] gingernator007:
Looks like the choose zip option doesn't populate the whole folder directory of my sd card, only folders that start with a capital letter (and not all of them either). I would also like the ability to save the disable signing feature as this currently resets on boot.

Thanks again for all your work.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lufc:
Must say very surprised to see this did not know you was working on it

I will give it a sticky and thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] airbillion:
Awesome work, Thanks! Just a heads up I have the same problem here. The whole folder is not populated on my SD card. Otherwise great work, this finally allows streak owners to have a working way to backup out streaks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Techvir:
Great to see more developers getting involved with streak.

Gud luk and keep it coming.
[Streak 5 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
this recovery is getting better, i like it :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] gingernator007:
Looking forward to the next update. I would also suggest putting a post up on modaco as that's where a lot of Streak dev is going down.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Fixed!

Good catch @homeiss! Thanks for the bug report! Issue resolved.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mancterrier:
Just tried to flash steves new update using this and it wouldnt update for some reason. Reverted to normal clockword and it did it first time. :confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] gingernator007:
I can also confirm that the new update doesn't flash with this recovery.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
mancterrier, gingernator007,

I am sorry my Recovery isn't working for you. If you could provide a little more feedback, I am pretty sure I could resolve your issue.

What update are you referring to?

What version of my recovery are you running?

What error message did you receive?

By default, my recovery is setup to flash updates with signatures embedded in to the update file. I believe this is something that Google added to Froyo, and is used for their official updates. Most mod developers do not use this feature and this may explain why using my recovery fails--its checking for signatures that do not exist and fails to install the update. However, I anticipated this issue and added a feature to my Recovery to disable signature checking.

If you happen to give my recovery another shot, you can verify that disabling signature verification resolves your issue. After you start the recovery, click the menu item: "apply sdcard:update.zip." Afterwards, click the menu item: "disable signature verification." After its disabled, you should be able to apply your update.

In my future updates, I will most likely modify the recovery to make it more intuitive to prevent any confusion.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
[Streak 5 Android Development] mancterrier:
Hi mate. I was flashing 1.4.2 with your latest version from xda. I tried disabling signatute but still didn't work. Cheers
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
disable signature check is working for none-signed updates, so its not that.. ;)

steves 1.42 (haven't checked 1.45 with your recovery) spits out a fail error after a few seconds, I think during extraction.

I'll try and capture the error later.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fone_fanatic:
Thanks mistadman for this, works great on my end!
[Streak 5 Android Development] ChyA:
Black screen. No recovery.

For some reason, i cannot get anything other than a black screen after flashing recovery and trying to boot into it. Any recovery.

I cant see what i could be doing wrong.

I'm properly rooted.

I've done everything i can think of except just wiping recovery before flashing.

Can anyone give me an idea of what i may be missing?

:confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] mossywell:
For anyone having the problem getting past firstboot in nandroid backup, I had this as well. As other posters have said, you need to apply the performance fix for your build. (See earlier posts on this, or search for firstboot in this thread.) But, the one thing that they didn't mention AFAICT is that you have to boot back into the OS at least once after applying the performance fix before rebooting into recovery to do the backup. This tripped me up!
[Streak 5 Android Development] chinkostu:
somehow i finally got my recovery to stick! no more reflashing!
[Streak 5 Android Development] MarcMaiden:
My issue is that every time i try to install the zip, i get the "failed verification request"

Im guessing its because im using the stock recovery,

but i cant seem to get clockwork to work with out rooting....and universal androot isnt working. I am running 2.2 VIA QDL on a best buy dell streak

any ideas?
[Streak 5 Android Development] leinert1:
Question/Development Idea-

Can you add an option to allow the update.pkg to this recovery to save from flashing the stock recovery?

Maybe it prompts one boot for stock recovery when selected and then reverts back to the goodness we enjoy with loading zip file updates and NANDROID backups...

I spent a couple days looking for the 2.2 stock recover for a clean load of 318 that could have been prevented with this idea. Thoughts? Is it possible?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spectre51:
You can root using superoneclick under 2.2 318
[Streak 5 Android Development] carltan_sg:
SMAN, I have the same Dell Streak version as sacredsoul. It was also a similar problem. Hangs at backing up Firstboot.

I read with interest about the performance fix (interested to run SetCPU and get higher clocks out of the Streak).

However, checking our Baseband shows GAUSB1A132013, which seems to imply version 320, for which no performance fix exists for now.

Regardless of the performance fix, my first priority is to obtain 1 complete backup and restore cycle reliably with Nandroid. So it seems we're stranded with a Catch-22 here:

1. Try to backup using Nandroid; fails at firstboot

2. Want to install performance fix to get Nandroid to work, but no performance fix versions available for 320

3. Cannot try 318 performance fix, because we have no backup to revert to!

Sigh. This is the price we pay for having a unique version in limited/isolated quantities.....

I hope the Devs somehow get hold of the 320 ROM and make the perf fix soon. Gee, if only I could send them a copy of the ROM, that might help - oh wait.....

:p

carlos.
[Streak 5 Android Development] [SMAN]:
I didn't even know we were at 320, i just knew of 318 and 319. What is the build number of 320?
[Streak 5 Android Development] carltan_sg:
Hi SMAN,

Build Number is 12903.

Baseband is GAUSB1A132013-EU.

Kernel is 2.6.32.9-perf

Hope that helps.

Is there anyway you can flash this using a terminal emulator? If not can anyone send me in the right way of how to use fastboot on a mac? I don't have a windows machine available to me anytime soon and I'm only doing this for my brother
[Streak 5 Android Development] thenotoriouspie:
well i finally figured out how to get it flashed but it gets stuck on a black screen when i try to load up streakmod

anyone have any ideas on whats wrong?

ive tried both the normal img and the beta one
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
How do I make the dropbox folder appear in the list to update rom? I see all other folders except Dropbox.

EDIT : Manually renaming lowercase "dropbox" to uppercase "Dropbox" did it. Recovery can detect the folder now and dropbox's functionality is still working. Awesome.
[Streak 5 Android Development] [SMAN]:
Where did you get this phone? That's not a baseband i'm familiar with and according to dell's website, it's invalid.
[Streak 5 Android Development] carltan_sg:
This phone was purchased in Singapore, offered by Mobile Operator Starhub.

If you think support for the Dell Streak is minimal at best in the US / EU, it's non-existent here. I can hear crickets!

Anyhow, this proves my worst fears, I guess. Since it's not even available anywhere else, chances of making it work (or even collaboratively making it work) with this new version of 2.2 will be difficult, if not impossible.

carlos.

maybe im to slow or something,but everytime i try to rund fastboot through cmd prompt i get a failed to load recovery.img error,any clues?

Sent from the Iphone Killer
[Streak 5 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Hey man. I bought mine Streak from Starhub too. And yea, it came with a build that showed invalid at Dell sites. What I did was to flash custom recovery, flash the baseband for Steve's roms and just flash DJ's latest rom over.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bash_array:
I followed your directions and was successful getting to the recovering menu with fastboot.

Is there a simple button procedure to get to the recovery menu without having to connect to the pc using fastboot? I did a nandroid backup using your recovery menu and it worked great. I would just like an easy way to access your recovery menu. Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] escapedg002:
Flashed 3.2.6 over stock 318 with no performance mod, did a full nandroid backup, first time got stuck at firstboot 2nd time no problem got a complete backup maybe I was impatient the 1st time though I haven't tested/restored with it but I think it will work. Still overwritten by stock recovery and no .pkg.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dedolini_xda:
Black screen.

Recovery flashed nicely, but then nogo.

System is Stock 1.6 build 6267
[Streak 5 Android Development] chinkostu:
if you're on one of steves rom it should keep the recovery and not overwrite it ;)

[Streak 5 Android Development] Krad:
Anyway to make this stick?

Whenever i want to use this i have to fastboot it, then immediately use it once to flash what i need.

after that it reverts back to dell recovery 309.

Run StreakDroid 1.6.1 (or whatever) and StreakMod sticks. Stock ROM apparently overwrites the recovery on boot.
[Streak 5 Android Development] LorD ClockaN:

Stock allways returnes stock recovery
[Streak 5 Android Development] huoyjii:
If you are running stock 318, install the performance fix, if will make this recovery stick. I suspect it is probably the same for other Stock Froyo built. Also, by applying the performance fix on 318, it also fix the stuck at "backing up firstboot..." on nandroid (you can read some earlier posts in this thread to get the detailed run down). Of course, with the performance fix applied, you can also OC your Streak!!

good luck
[Streak 5 Android Development] :
On 319 I went into /system/etc and renamed install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak

Now whatever recovery I flash persists

so renaming the file works and now the streakmod sticks on reboot...

Almost borked my phone because i ran the fix permissions and it just looked stuck.. rebooted and phone would not boot.

ran fix permissions again for a few minutes and it completed. There was no indication it was working.. booted up ok

really didn't want to spend 1 hour redoing my phone.

can't backup firstboot still.

this is great! Thanks for your hard work & dedication!
[Streak 5 Android Development] huoyjii:
Had sometime to experience and test the nandroid backup issue w/ Stock 322 but still failed at firstboot (same as stock 318). At least in 318, if you apply the performance fix, it will fix the nandroid backup issue (stuck at backing up firstboot...). But w/ 322, there is no performance fix for it; And will never have according to some posters...

Too bad because I really like the 322. Very stable and fast.

Will go back and try Steve 1.7.0 again. I know you can do the nandroid backup with StreakMod Recovery with 1.7.0.
