Battery Issue

Hi Pongster,

This seems to be kind of wierd to me.

whats happening if you leave your phone on and the battery drains itself. The phone shuts down on its own (like it does for all phones when battery level is very low).

But when you turn it back on it never works fine, I have recharged the phone, but its not working properly I cant see the main screen though the phone is completely on, If i make calls i t rings but the touch screen is not responding.

I encountered this is earlier builds too, so generally I alwiz recharged the phone before it completely drains battery or turn it off so i can recharge it later.

This time i forgot to do it and now I have this problem, I am not sure if anyone else found this issue.

Last time I had to wipe and reinstall the build again. So before I do that Just wanted to know if you are aware of this issue and any way to fix it.

I also tried to wipe battery stats from CWM, but still i cant use phone, touchscreen is not responsive, after the boot screen i see the main screen once but touch wont work n then it goes to black screen...and even i press hardware button nothing works.

Thanks,

Sid

I don't know what A2DP is - I think that's a bluetooth thing? I never - ever turn on bluetooth.

It's just actually not playing at ALL - the bar doesn't move, the timer doesnt' go across, the audio code has 'died' - I think the phone thinks it's still on a call.

SMS notification suddenly in a loop

I am not sure what i did, but when i installed the phone the ARGO NAVI ogg file was stored in the system/media/audio/ringtones folder only, and i could select it only as a ringtone.

To have it available as an sms notification tone I copied it into sdcard/media/audio/notifications and after a reboot I got it available for sms as well, and it was working fine, menaing that the file was being played ONLY ONCE upon reception of an sms.

Yesterday decided to rename the one on the SD differently, and now when I receive an sms it keeps on playng the file in an infinite loop.

Same if i open the file from root explorer or astro explorer...

rebooted phone and i was able to add exchange account.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] drinizi:
Try formatting your SDcard (dont use quick format).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegios:
Actually i have now found out that all OGG files under system/media/audio/ringtones folder ALWAYS play in loop, regardless of whivh player I use, and if I copy any OGG under this folder into the SD it keeps on playing in a loop...

EDIT: ok I found out, by opening the ogg file with Audacity, that the ANDROID_LOOP metadata was set to TRUE... I set it back to FALSE and now the file is played only once

weird as it was not like this before...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegios:
Could someone pls explain thisa little better?

There is an app that I can find in the web market but does not appear on the phone market.

In the web market it says that this app is not compatible with my device?

is tehre a workaround?

Slowdown...anyone else?!

I've been running this ROM since the outset but have found in v11 that I get slowdowns quite regularly...ROM is as fast as normal but suddenly when I'm using Twitter or the browser...or sometimes nothing....the thing will just freeze and become completely bogged down. The Gingerbread screen off animation will appear in slow motion when pressing the power button and basically the phone will be unusable until I either wait - at which point a force close message for whichever app I was using will appear - or pull the battery.

I am using a pretty slow 16gb card with ext 3 but I've not had any problems before. I've tried fixing permissions, wiping cache and Dalvilk cache, wipe and Nandroid restore, full wipe and install. I haven't resorted to a FULL wipe with task29 as I wanted to see if it was a ROM issue first. The Incredible S Nandroid backup I have on the same card doesn't seem to have the same problem either.

I've also tried changing CPU mode to smartass.

Now I'm out of ideas.

Anyone any idea what might be the problem?

The only other thing I can think is that my zip file is corrupted in some way. I'm running all the same apps I was running on previous builds.

Thanks in advance everyone
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
No slowdowns of anykind here... Facebook, Twitter, K9, Browser, Beluga, Tapatalk all running at the same time... not sure what it is with your install.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dluther:
First, thank you for your offer of help, but this seemed to be a driver compatibility issue on my PC, not running commands out of order. Maybe when I'm feeling brave again I'll reattempt this, but I think I'm going to wait for cLK to mature a bit more, because to me it looks like cLK is incompatible with the latest Android ADB driver (the one linked on the first page is ver 2.0.0010.00002 08/11/2009, the one I currently have installed is 4.0.0.0 12/6/2010).

Sure, I'll be the first to admit I'm doing something wrong, but it appears that cLK is meant for advanced phone modders -- and I'm just not quite there yet. When someone comes out with the "n00b guide to cLK and HyperDroid", I'll be a happy camper.

Until then, I've gone back to mAGLDR and ClockWorkMod Recovery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Niglet:
ok this is weird. When i try to download from the market, as it installs, android reboots(?) into the android animation and quickly went back to the home screen in less than 3 seconds. Then the app i've downloaded was gone.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ccristal:
Yeah, I get exactly the same issue. And I would love to see it fixed. And if you had a girlfriend living in another country you would too... ;)

Pongster,

Is it possible to give me/us the camera.apk you used in v9 ? (a CWM .zip file should be nice)

I tried many times to use MIUI Camera, tried to love it, but I definitely don't like that cam. It crashed 50% of the time (after closing it, I've a crash !!! :D)

I also tried the translated version (available in "apps & themes" on xda), but it's the same.

THANK YOU VERRRRYYYYY MUCH !!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegios:
Had the same problem with another rom and found out to be an SD card problem. Try using anotgsr card or properly format the current one
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alexv75:
I'm experiencing some weird behavior with this rom - it is a clean clk install, using the recommended partition sizes. When i launch an app, for example browser, it just splashes and disappears, without an error msg. Thus far this happened to the browser, facebook, twitter and weatherbug apps. for the latter i would've guessed that they are not compatible with 2.3.3, but the browser?? Apart from that, so far this one is the best in terms of speed that i've had on the phone ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tobimobi:
I had the same issue, but I cleaned the internal memory and It works fine now. No more reboots. I had just 20 mb internal memory free. :)

Weird issue, browser works fine here with stock cLK install. Have you tried clearing the dalvik cache and cache partitions from CWM? And which version are you using, v11?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cunione:
Should I install directly this apk or replace the camera.apk in system/app, then reboot ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegios:
no one? pls help cos I need an app ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cunione:
Maybe because this app is not available for your country...?

Some apps are only available in specific countries...

Happy Vino

It's an italian app and my market is set to H3G Italy verified with market enabler
[HD2 Android NAND Development] karendar:
Replace the file in system/app, installing it will most likely fail. What you can do also is rename camera.apk to miuicamera.apk and then copy camera.apk to system/app, don't forget to change the permissions on the camera.apk also!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cunione:
Done !

Definitely, this camera is better than the Miui !!!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] wizzbang3:
Managed to get it to completely crash and reboot using the camera- anyone actually done extensive testing with it?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
The current camera? Of course we didnt test it that would be stupid. We dont want to waste our free time testing stuff.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] engst03:
Same here. SIP just does not work :-( (using V11)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wizzbang3:
No need to a smart ass.

Regardless I can crash it completely on my build - hard lock or phone reboot.

EDIT: Well I just re-built it fresh and no crash at all.

Frustrating! What could I be doing to make it crash? I dont' have that many apps installed, I am keeping it very bare.

I mean DroidWall is a root application - maybe that broke it, or my Samba share app (but it was turned off) - besides those 2 and Titanium Backup there's not much stuff on there which isn't just apps from the Android Market.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cunione:
Yes I do... and this is the reason why I asked and installed the camera included in the GBX rom v9.:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yom:
Are you using a sd-ext partition on your SD card?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] karendar:
Now now, don't overreact. ;)

Everyone should keep in mind that not all setups are the same, not all phones react the same way. Miui was indeed tested, but you know... We can't cover all versions, all configurations, etc.

My Google Nav and CoPilot just closes back to home screen.

Wierd problem here. My Google Nav and CoPilot just closes back to home screen. They are still running in the background and I can still open them via notification bar. But returns back to home screen in just a few seconds.

I'll try iGo Myway and see what happens...

UPDATE: iGo MyWay 8.4.2.139242 is not closing.... :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] karendar:
Like I said, we DO test these things.... But we can't test every iteration of HD2's out there. I know corrupted installs are common, it can be as stupid as the method you use to push the zip to your SD card or a fluke in voltage while installing. Also clearing dalvik and cache usually help. If you look a few posts back, there is the CM7 camera app and how to install over it... You can try that if Miui doesn't work well for you. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ugumba:
I let my daughter run around shooting photos. She handed me back the phone showing the boot animation. It ran for 10 minutes, then LauncherPro FC'd constantly. Removed battery and rebooted, then everything worked, except the clock had been changed about 2 weeks backwards. Just saying... I'll leave this camera alone.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] karendar:
You wouldn't happen to know where to get a free SIP account? I would like to add this to my arsenal for testing.

Also, are you aware of a ROM that does work with SIP? (Gingerbread)

I'll look the info up as my next testing project. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] esincho:
Ppl wanting the vanilla camera, u can have both. Just name it camera2.apk before putting it in system
[HD2 Android NAND Development] karendar:
Is this on a fresh install? Did you upgrade from one version to another? Did you try clearing Dalvik cache? Reinstall ROM with factory settings and try again?

Tried iGo worked for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] karendar:
This was already posted a while back. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] killerjohn:
OK, I tried evertyhing :( I've no data connection through 3g, but I've internet through wifi. Tried to clear everything, and reflash. Already reflashed from CLK to rom everything, but i cant access Internet through 3g :(

using Clk.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
I'm a bit sarcastic my apologies. So far the only way I can get the stock camera to crash is if I press the "take photo" button as fast as possible. After the 4th or 5th shot the sound will stop syncing with the actual flash and then it will freeze about 3 shots later.. thats really not normal use though thats basically me trying to break it. YMMV

Honestly the previous camera was more troublesome for me as it would have issues recording video and its auto-focus was sub par at best. Also it was having issues with mms. I will keep abusing it and see what I can figure out.

BTW by far the most common problems with the ROM are user related, mainly the installation method and restoring data/apps from backups. Every thing you add to the bare bone stock ROM adds another possible way to create a bug. This isn't a knock to the anybody, I mean if we were all experts we wouldn't rely so heavily on each other for information. Restoring Data and Apps is almost sure fire to add problems. Fresh installs are always the best way to go just a bit time consuming. I know that its not going to happen because when not testing even I don't fresh install every time, but when possible try to.

Titanium for me is a terrible way to restore *IF* you don't choose to *NOT* restore data with apps.

Best way to install GBX on a device for a bug free experience.

1. HSPL, MAGLDR, CWM (not going into detail its on the 1st page).

2. Let the Rom boot up the first time, select your language and then skip the google sign in and go straight to home screen. Let it sit with the screen on for about 5 minutes.

3. Reboot again and let it sit AGAIN for about 3-5 minutes. Enable WiFi if you have it, then log in to your Google account through the Options-Accounts/Sync menu. Open the Market and Accept the agreement and it *should* start to auto-download your previous apps. Plug it in and forget about the device for about 15 minutes.

4. Reboot one last time and configure everything. Once you have it all setup boot into CWM and make a NANDROID backup.

5. If your battery is being chewed up quickly use CurrentWidget and enable logging and tick the box to record running apps. Look through the log for a spike while its on standby and look for which app wasn't there when it was at 2-5ma. Usually its something syncing or using notifications.

6. If you believe you found an issue that is ROM related and not something you added that caused it, follow the link in Pongster or my signature to file a proper bug report so we can stress test and find a solution.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fi3ry_icy:
can u check if you have APN settings in your network settings? if not, u might need to add them manually to allow data connection..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alexv75:
His issue is very similar, if not the same as mine. Although igo and gmaps work just fine here :S . I've tried clearing the caches and fixing the permissions, no joy. For now it's not a serious showstopper, as twitter and facebook somehow work, i still have weather in the notifications and i use firefox for browser, so i don't intend to reinstall it (the only thing i haven't tried yet). BTW, i'm with v11.

edit: the problems are gone after formatting everything except data and flashing it again. Dunno what was wrong, but hopefully this fixed it for good. Thanks for the great rom :) :)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] leoni1980:
I had this problem. I wiped the cache and Dalvik cache through CWM and reinstalled v11 zip over the top of my install and it fixed it. No idea how or why but it works fine now, no freezes or crashes.

oh thanks, im going to try that.

would it be necessary to fat32 my sd card too?

problem with alarm notification for email and sms

Hello,

I have a strange problem since yesterday when I copied the mp3s in the SD, every time

reboot the phone, the ringtone sms and email, change with the new ones 2 mp3

added (this mp3 is not even selected as a notification from the menu).

Has anyone had the same problem? I do not know how to fix it, very annoying to have a song as a notification for SMS and email.

Just a quick question, to add more ringtones etc, is it just a case of over writing the media folder on the sd card.i can't try it at the moment as, im in work just fiddling with this fantastic rom,

Bluetooth connectivity issues with Parrot car handsfree

Great ROM, loving it, but I cannot connect to my cars Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth handsfree device. I can pair the device successfully but it is always in the status of ‘Paired but not connected’, when I make a call it never connects. However, all Desire based ROMs work perfectly, but I’m avoiding them for other reasons. This seems to affect all the Gingerbread ROM’s I have tried including this one and boyppc etc. I think it’s a handshaking issue somewhere? Hope you can help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] danusko:
hi all,

i am new here in android forum. I like this ROM very much.

Yesterday i changed my WM to HyperDroidGBXv11. It was hard for me (5 hours), but i succeeded. I installed

- MAGLDR

- Clockwork Mod Recovery

- HyperDroidGBXv11

I have only one question to your manual on 1-st post.

There is a info

2. Go to the 3rd post and Install the updates via CWM (updates will have the prefix *GBX)

But i didnt find any update with GBX prefix in post 3. And now i dont know, if i have the last updated vs. I am affraid if its the last vs, because camera playback problem (video stops and doesnt play, i have only static screen). I read your info carrefully, and there is info, that this bug is fixed.

Pls. how can i chec if i have the last update. Sorry for newbies stupid question :(.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
I'm curious why editing the build.prop (the right way to do it) is a challenge. There are plenty of root file explorers out there for free you can use, and its easy to find the file.

Don't get me wrong the app is neat in a way but it resets when your phone does, build.prop is permanent.

Try Ghost File Commander for a free root access and quite advanced file manager.

Whats really cool is that it has a side by side window where you can drag and drop like a windows/linux GUI and supports a TON of stuff.. cool one IMO
[HD2 Android NAND Development] caroteo:
Pongster, thanks for the great work with the ROM! But this version seems to have massive battery drain even after I install the UV 925 script...

I am only a light user but the phone is already at 50% by 6 hours of use. This is almost 10% per hour. The previous version's battery is alot more lasting.

Is it due to the kernel? Looking forward to your next update...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
Check the cpu governor. Its set to on demand by default instead of interactive.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandmanz:
Ignore the updates in post 3 for now. that's for minor fixes in the ROM if something is wrong. I don't think there are any updates for now.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MoneyFist:
I think something is wrong with extended batteries since v10. My battery now doesn't last as long.

I charged my phone to 100% today on version 10 (Tytung8.3)

Then I down graded my rom from v10 to v9 (HyperDroid) and now the battery shows 50%.

So Tytung was only half charging my official HTC extended battery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] caroteo:
I have set the governor to SMARTASS which worked very well for other ROMs that I installed previously. I even try adjusting the CPU upper limit to 768 and lower 245.

Anyway, out of desperation I amend the UV from 925 to 875. It's still working fine for now, I am keeping my fingers cross...

Have you installed any apps that might drain it? I found that an update to QRDroid was sucking my battery dry. Try downloading the app Watchdog Lite and monitor what is truly running on your device, you might find that a misbehaving app is the culprit.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
Well its more native and can support Rom Manager support. You can also boot straight to recovery among other things. It doesn't use RMNET though it uses PPP which is and always has been unstable. You also eliminate all the extra stuff that MAGLDR can do that you won't need if you plan to just use Android (Tetris, WP7 launcher, Android SD launcher, etc.). cLK is probably the future but you might want to wait till its all sorted out if stability is your main concern.
