[HTC Aria General] fnds:
Good tips. Thank you for posting.

I found a tip about reconfiguring the radio settings here:

community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/96/p/7495/34268.aspx

"I have an HTC Aria, I found out that the radio is setup completely wrong (power hungry) by default. I can now get over 48 hours of moderate use out of a phone that was barely able to make it to 12 hours before.

First of all, on AT&T, GSM (which is the 2.5G EDGE network) is much more power efficient than CDMA (which is 3G).

The default settings for 2-3G, have the phone constantly trying to find the strongest CDMA tower-signal it can find for 3G. If it can't find any 3G, it switches to 2.5G (EDGE). This eats your battery and is why your fancy new smart phone has a usable life of only 8-12 hours.

Now, the reason that your phone is always searching for the best signal is that, in area with only average coverage, the phone will always be trying to get you the best connection. This makes AT&T's 3G feel fastest and you will always get the most 'bars' available - at least while your phone's battery holds out.

Luckily, some engineer over a decade ago came up with a solution. Instead of scanning, have the phone ask the current tower for a list of nearby towers. This is called a PRL.

The way the PRL works, the phone contacts the tower to which it is connected and asks the tower for a list of nearby towers and their power outputs. Then the phone will base its decisions to switch towers based on that list.

Where I live, 3G is everywhere and making the phone constantly search for a better tower is a waste of time and energy. So instead, I switched my phone to prefer GSM (ie. EDGE) over CDMA unless there is a poor signal, then it switches to scanning for 3G (which supposedly has more range and less interference) just like it used to.

The settings to do this are normally hidden by the carrier. For AT&T on the Aria, I had to enter a USSD code:

*#*#4636#*#*

Then select Phone Information from the menu. The drop down you want is called Set preferred network type: and the option I selected was GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) and my battery life has been fantastic."

Has anyone tried this? How did it go?

Thanks.

[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I'm not sure about the stock rom, but on cm roms there is the option to add this option into the power widget bar and makes switching between modes a one click affair. I keep my phone on 2g (gsm) unless I'm trying to watch a video. It definitely helps.
[HTC Aria General] ARMarlowe:
I am trying that out and using GSM (PRL), it seems to do very well, and automatically switches between HSDPA and EDGE
[HTC Aria General] Rors:
Just switched mine from WCDMA preferred to the CDMA/GSM Auto (PRL)

I'll see how it goes.
[HTC Aria General] ARMarlowe:
that battery has lasted longer than usual, even with the extreme cold of the midwest, since I was shoveling for 3 hours. 8 hours off of charger, moderate use, still at 80% with GSM (PRL) on
[HTC Aria General] mindstate:
tried the GSM(PRL) thing, works great! thanks for this thread
[HTC Aria General] kabell4:
Been noticing the drain, too. I've switched to CDMA/GSM Auto (PRL), but it still shows the "H" at the top? I think that's correct, but wanted to ask.
[HTC Aria General] gtg465x:
So how often is it kicking you guys to EDGE? It may give you better battery life, but your data will be slow as hell if you aren't on 3G no? Or do you guys not care?
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I switched to cdma/gsm auto (prl) about a week ago and mine hasn't switched over to Edge at all.
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
I have know idea how to do this. I dial *#*#4636#*#* and it calls it and says blah blah wrong number. Can somebody explain please. I'm a noober on this one.

"the only good bug is a dead bug"
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
Figured it out. I use dialer 2 app for my default phone. Apparently you have to use the stock dialer to enter ussd code.

[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
Eyyy i tried to revert it to stock ROM!!

i copyd the downloaded RUU_SIGNED.nbh from the website of htc.com with my serial number and renamed it to leoimg.nbh and then i started boatloader and install it, after like 20% it said '' installation failed'' 2002200 error or something like that.. now imma film it with my desire hd,....

after failure it restarted to boatloader with SPL 3.03.000

i got a LEO from Europe.. WHAT NOW?!
[HD2 General] mynamesteve:
If you downloaded from HTC it should be in an .exe format

Put your phone in bootloader (when the phone is off hold down volume down and press the power button) you should see a tricolor screen. Plug your phone in to the pc run the exe and follow the instructions through.
[HD2 General] joooe:
Or uncompress the .exe file with winzip. You will find the .nbh file inside.
[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
I unzipped it, and copied everything from the folder to the root of my sd,

then i started the installation from the boatloader. but then IT FAILED! WTF?

and after '' installation failed'' the phone restarted to the boatloader, now it shows.

HX-BC

SPL-3.03.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(touch) 0x30

I bricked my phone after i installed SPL2.08.oooo

they told me after that i should have installed SPL-2.08.HSPL

Now im afraid if i take out my battery, this SPL-3.03.0000 will brick it!!
[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
[youtube]Yd_tNzOX5is[/youtube]

Sorry i filmed it, and tried to reset it, it reset and said software update failed, then that error.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
You CAN'T copy everything from the RUU...it will always fail. You just need the .nbh and rename it to LEOIMG.NBH.
[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
FOk, but i did.... now it shows

''UPGRADE ROM CODE ERROR PLEASE TRY AGAIN''

at the boatloader ...

before you said you should copy only RUU,

i did, but it says ''not allowed'' now...
[HD2 General] mynamesteve:
Try to reinstall hspl
[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
IMma not sure what it said exactly but something with '' BAD PHONE ID'' when i tried to open HSPL2_RUN

Now trying to flash the stock rom from usb it got stuck at 0%..

it says : BAD SPL VERSION!

So im stuck with SPL3.03.0000

Cant flash anything....

so what to do?!

tried to flash stock ROM from htc.com from sd

it says ''Not allow'' 20002

tried to flash it from the usb it gets stuck at 0%

cant flash to SPL 2.08 HSPL because i have spl 3.03 right..?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Let me guess, the microSD Card is a 8GB or greater - it is a known problem.

If you need to flash via the SD Card then go either for a 1, 2 or 4GB one. MAking sure that it is formatted correctly.

Forget all about HSPL right now, as the HTC ROMs or the branded versions all come with ROM, RADIO and SPL.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
from your video, your SPL is not showing a model ID in bootloader.

(The top line in bootloader, Eg mine says 'PB81100 SS-BC)'

Ive seen this crop up on a few occasions, where the ID gets corrupted, or like yours vanishes completely.

Problem is now of course that all roms will give bad model ID.

I'm not sure of any fix, however if memory serves i seem to remember someone tweaked a customruu to avoid checking the model ID. (Though i couldn't immediately find it just now, , not that i tried too hard, thats your job :) )

Not sure if it will help, but i think id try flashing a stock rom with the tweaked RUU, if i could find it.
[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
First of all, nope it was a 2gb, didnt use my 16..

second you're right when i tried to flash it it said '' BAD MODEL ID''

i got a test in a couple of hours, when i get back i will search for it a tweaked customruu whatever that is :|
[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
Searched for it..

couldnt find it...

i guess no helpp.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
I'll try remember to look tomorrow, but with all the forum changes,,,,, like finding a needle in a big pile of needles.

I may be remembering it wrong anyway.

Do google searches like

+hd2 corrupted model id inurl:xdaforums.com

There are a few threads over the past year regarding model id
[HD2 General] pokerfreakje:
Searched couldnt find anything usefull.

still waiting for the saving angel............
[HD2 General] CrAzYiaN:
You are not on HSPL that's why it doesn't work.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
heres what i think i was thining about

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706064

Before hspl3, this workaround allowed people to bypass the model id check for particular model IDs, perhaps a blank ModelIDCheckBypass.txt (since your model ID is blank) file would work?

oops, i forgot you were also stuck on spl 3.03.0000, so even bypassing the model ID, hspl would still fail because it doesn't support spl 3.03.0000.

So, normally, only a correct stock rom (usb or sd) of lower version, ((out because of the mdoel ID) or any other stock rom through goldcard would work, but i'm not sure how goldcard would respond to no model id.

If you can get a CID for an sd card (2gb or smaller ideally), pm me with it and an email address and i can make you a goldcard image.

Gotta be worth a try.

There are several ways to find a CID, if you have another winmo phone you can use for 5 minutes, thats wayyy the easiest way.

To get you started

Hi I dont use bettercut but does it let you change the system icons in the app drawer. you know the drawer that comes up when you press the menu on the launcher???

Edit: OK i just tried bettercut. Using this you cannot change system icons in the app drawer. You are only changing icons on the homescreen, basically shortcuts. You could do that with launcherpro, desktop visualizer and 10 other apps.

The MCR firmware is NOT flashed via Odin!

Your existing firmware is irrelevant as this update wipes it anyway. From OP:

and:

Flash the ext4 kernel from within Odin, then copy the .ZIP to the external MicroSD card (i.e the removable one, NOT the internal storage) and flash the ZIP from within CWM. (You can rename it to UPDATE.ZIP if you like to make it a little bit easier to find so you don't need to browse the file system for it).
