[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tantrum829:
Hey guys,

I have been running Android on my HD2 for a few months now using the stock 16gb class 2 and had no real issues. I purchased a Patriot 8gb class 4 to replace the stock because I need it for another device.

I have tried formating it 32kb and 64kb, default allocation size and nothing has worked. After transfering the android files and running haret a few minutes later I get stuck on the boot screen. I tried a fresh install of various android builds and keep having the same problem.

Can someone tell me the correct way to prep this card for my HD2 to run android? Maybe a utility or something.

Link to the card's product page: http://www.patriotmem.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=4&catid=16&prodgroupid=78&id=730&type=15

Thanks

Give SD Formatter a try in quick format mode.

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

It formats FAT32 with 32kb sectors, and has worked well here with multiple class and size MircoSDHC cards. That said, 16GB Sandisk cards are cheap now. Maybe consider picking up another one and ditching the Patriot, if SD Formatter does not fix it up.

Best to all,

R

Thanks, will try.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
I'm sorry for you... That card is a junk! I also have that one and after many hours of frustrations end up buying sandisk 8gb class 4 for $15usd.

I have done all suggested ways to prep that card. If ever you will be able to boot, expect for minutes of lags.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norodaigh:
I would recommend what has been said before, just re-format the SD Card.

From what I see you need to turn down the green a little and flip the battery. Also I think if you greenify the WiFi icon from Simplistic it'll look a lot like the one in the pic :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] MacaronyMax:
Okay thanks, although what I could tell the picture looks faded some how, so I added a little more vibrance :p

I will work on flipping the battery also :D

This is nice and all, but why not just root the phone install CWM and flash a nicer rom and not worry about ATT bloatware have a better kernal HUSPA better battery life BLN and the best lagfixes?
[Captivate Android Development] MattWeiler:
Thanks for the info, I'm still really new to this; i'll probably give your recomendation a try soon :-)

I just want to be sure that everything works fine... My friend who knows a lot more about this is currently on vacation, i'll see which rom he installed as his captivate is running really well too.
[Captivate Android Development] snakemanuver:
Nice guide, with this I got Froyo running on my phone. However, when I went to the market to download apps I bought back when I had stock firmware, they weren't there anymore. I was just wondering if you had the same problem and a possible solution.

I've been going through many pages of different forums and none of the methods are working. Many of the guides required me to download apps from the market to assist me in uploading a new build.prop file to /system/ but I cant see any of them since my market is screwed up.

Is your android market working fine ?
[Captivate Android Development] snakemanuver:
I managed to get a new build.prop uploaded with different fingerprint codes:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.1-update1/ESE81/29593:user/release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys

both didn't work.

I then reflashed using the 2.2 froyo that you have linked at the top, and now my market app is the same as before. When I first flashed it I could see all the apps but I am having the same issues as before. I was about to try a rom called Cognition but seeing as how reflashing didn't work I am running out of ways of fixing this :S

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] paulshields:
Got one of these recently and it's really nice for the price. Fits well and seems well made. Magnetic clasp and cutouts for the cameras etc. Currently £13.95 at mobilefun.co.uk.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Beards:
I nearly bought one of these myself Paul but instead went for the Samsung Executive Case....... and I'm not happy with it.

Like the case you kindly mention I don't like the leather surrounding the glass surface. Much prefer the case where you 'click' the Tab into place rather than slide it in.

Any idea's which would be a good case?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] paulshields:
I've only used the one above and (for a short while) the official Samsung case. Not the executive one though. It was the sleeve variant. I really didn't like it. Very hard to get the device in and out of as it was so tight. I'm happy with the one I got, though may try a TPU style cover at some point.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Beards:
Yes I have the same issue with the Samsung Executive case, it's a right pain inserting and taking out of the case.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] JonSlater:
That looks very like the red one I recently got

http://www.londonmagicstore.co.uk/L...llet+Leather+Case+for+Samsung+Galaxy+Tab.html

Good case, but it does have tendency to let the tab slip out of the top if held upside down (while taking out of a bag, for example)
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] paulshields:
Hi Jon (hey we're neighbours :)). That does look very like mine, apart from the colour. I've not had the problem with it slipping, it's a snug fit. Unlike the official case, which was a strangulated fit :).
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Beards:
I see we also share the same taste in where you purchased it too.

I obtained my Samsung Executive case from LondonMagicStore.

Excellent service from them, have purchased quite a few items in the past and have their Black Gel Case Cover Stand on order as well.

Im kind of a newb and ended up purchasing the bootstrap recovery, and then went on to install your rom as well as a new theme. You did an amazing job.

I installed this rom and went great but for some reason everytime I try to go into recovery I lock down my phone. It reboots and hangs as moto m causing me to sbf I dunno wat the problem is. Anyone know please let me know. This has happened three times. Every time I try to go in recovery it locks down. And I love this rom regardless of wat I do I'm going to have to sbf back before I can go in recovery.

So do I have to install this like I would a brand new ROM?

Great ROM here!

Highly recommended. Been using for a month or so now and would never go back to blur....

With the 1.9.0 update, battery life is very pleasing...

[Droid X Android Development] milan616:
drod, do you think this fix is applicable beyond rubiX? Just curious if it's something Fission could use too. I used to have spectacular battery life (almost 50 hours once with moderate use) on stock Blur, but even with the extended battery and various versions of Fission (with SBFs and battery stat resets) I've never been able to make it more than 30 hours. And 30 hours was with almost no use!
[Droid X Android Development] ElephantGlue:
I'm just still a little confused...do I have to install this like I would a brand new rom or can I just update from bootstrap recovery?

[Droid X Android Development] drod2169:
I was blown away by the 30 hour and 50 hour comment till I read you're using an extended battery.

My tweaks were included in fission before, but we agreed that they were better left out.

So no, my tweaks are exclusive to my rom, and I intend for them to stay that way, unless approached by another dev looking for some help. :)

Ok, I've got one of these huge 3500 mah batteries but I don't use it because no one makes a case to fit it. So, why doesn't someone just make a bumper case like on the iPhone for the EVO?

I just want protection if I drop it on it's edge.

Would an iPhone bumper maybe stretch over the EVO?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novarider:
My father-in-law just got an Evo and he wants to root it but he doesn't want to leave it with me long enough for me to root it the long way like in the hboot 2.02 root guide. So my question is has anyone heard if unrevoked3 is going to modify the program they have to include the new hboot 2.02? If not won't unrevoked3 for the Evo basically just die? What I mean is if every new Evo can't be rooted with unrevoked3 won't it just be useless?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
I hope they update it but they didn't come out with an update for the phones that have 3.30.651.2 on them yet either. I don't know if they abandoned unrevoked or just can't come up with something. They usually had a solution within a couple of days from a new OTA but 3.30 and Hboot 2.02 have been out for a while and nothing. I don't use twitter and that's where they make a lot of their announcements so you may want to check their twitter feed for activity.

I was browsing through the market and found a keyboard I'd never seen before, even thought it's apparently been around for quite a while. It's called Full Keyboard (http://www.appbrain.com/app/full-keyboard/com.hmw.android.fullkeyboard). What makes it so special is that it includes a directional keypad, complete with Home and End keys, a Camera key and a whole keyboard with nothing but control keys. Since I'm (currently) running TnT Lite I installed it using the "copy from /data/app to /system/app" trick and am finding it incredibly helpful in the terminal emulator and ConnectBot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I have a 3500 mah battery I bought from the dark side of the moon. It "looks" real and it will operate my phone, but is it REALLY 3500 mah?

Is there some sort of software that I can download that will tell me the battery's capacity?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Thinking about this.

The 1500 mah stock battery charges at a max rate of 650 ma's (even with a 1 amp charger) and takes roughly 2.3 hours to fully charge.

I suppose I could charge it from 50 to 60%, determine how long that takes and multiply by 10 to get the approximate charging time. I say approximate because EVO batteries take less and less juice as they approach 100% charge.

So anyway, once I have the approximate charging time I can multiple that by 650 and get the approximate mah of the battery:

So, if it the total charging time is 4.5 hours I would just multiple 4.5 x 650 and get 2950 mah as the capacity.

I'll try this and see if it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
try batteryboss.org, i think he had ordered one from hong kong to test, the seidio only did 2810 mah when he tested it, I got one of the 3500's from the states but it is the same as the hong kong version lasts the same as seidio ... way better than the stock 1500, but your method should work as a rough estimate i think.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Did a quick first pass. It took about 13 minutes to charge 10%.

That's 13 x 10 = 130 / 60 = 2.16 x 650 ma = 1408 :(

So, on first blush it would appear that my 3500 mah chinese battery is actually a 1500 mah battery stuck in a 3500 mah battery case.

Sucks, but on the other hand, I got 2 1500 mah batteries for $20 which isn't a bad deal. That being said, do I want to have a big heavy phone for a battery that is no better than my stock?

On the other hand, not being a stock EVO battery, this battery may actually be charging at a full amp. That being the base, I am closer to 2500 + which wouldn't be bad at all. Have to download a amperage testing program and see how many amps it is drawing while charging.

** They never tested the chinese battery at batteryboss.org
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
OK, installed Current Widget from the Market. It will log my average amperage during the test and we'll find out what's what. I think the answer will be that this chinese battery with 3500 mah written on it is really just a 1500 mah battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Well, based upon my Current Meter, the charging amperage is all over the place, mostly between 450 and 550 ma. If that is true, then my calculations change:

13 x 10 = 1300 / 60 = 2.1666 x 500 (avg) = 1083 mah.

Just keeps getting worse.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alekosy:
Omg? I hope that battery isn't from GorillaGadgets.com

Edited: I bought one last night, gonna arrive 10 days.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Well, these tests I am running arent exactly accurate. However there is no way a true 3500 mah battery would charge 10% in 13 minutes. Not possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Ok, I have two of these 3500 mah batteries. I decided to sacrifice one to science since it was so cheap. I tore it apart and here is what I saw:

Instead of one battery, it looks like two batteries kind of jerry-rigged together. There seems to be connections on both batteries top and bottom. I have no idea if a true 3500 mah battery is supposed to be one solid cell, but these are not.

The batteries have a serial code on them: 044060A JK30

I traced these to a company in China by the name of: Dongguan Delon Power Co., Ltd. They do, in fact, make these batteries; however, there is NO MENTION anywhere on their webpage whatsoever of what the mah is for this particular battery.

In order for this to be a 3500 mah battery, these would have to be two 1750's. I seriously doubt they are. I'm calling BS.

Here are some pics:

P.S., Lol, sorry for the dirty fingernails. Just got done mulching my garden out front :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoo55:
i was about to say the same thing. your best bet is to charge completely, then run it to zero while logging current. then you can import the log to a spreadsheet, and calculate the capacity from there. this wont be perfect, but it will eliminate a lot of variables, and give a fair comparison with stock battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Well, at this point the most interesting thing is that this is NOT one battery but two soldered together.

The odd thing is that on every site I checked that sells these, it does NOT list the mah, only the voltage. How the hell are people supposed to buy them if they dont know the mah?
