[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] laulakh:
hey guys ive seen a few thread similar to mine but they seem to just different enough, that i cant use the same solution posted.

I used Magldr to run android rom on my hd2 and after the go go go! screen in went to the android logo... then turns off ... then loads again then turns off ... so annoying

I did the whole process over again from scratch but the same thing happened.

Im sure i am missing something but i cant seem to figure out what it is.

I did the following steps

1) falsh HSPL 2.08

2) flash Task 29 with 2.15 radio

3) Paste "initrd.gz" and "zImage" to root sd

4) after reboot i went to "BOOT AD SD"

5) booted rom from CWM

6) everything went good ... got past go go go! then is just stopped at the android logo

thank for the quick post

sorry i should mentioned it I'm using the JDMS Ultimate on HTC HD2 rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782301

however i figured my earlier problem now im running into something else

i didn't use the "initrd.gz" and "zImage" from CWM

NEW problem

After rebooting with CWM android boots up then turns off and then it boots up from nand and turns off again ... this will keep on looping until i take battery out

I re flashed Magldr but it did the same thing ... im going to reflash HSPL then try again ... but i followed all the direction from the following thread and dont see where i went wrong

I'm currently having issues resulting in this same issue. I've tried mutiple different Roms aswell as using some SD roms in the hopes that I would fine a build suitable for my phone but I always end up getting bad results.

My previous NAND Rom worked fine for all of about 5 hours before I started getting freezes, restarting and constant boot loops along with massive battery drains.

Currently running the below ROM and so far, it's been the most reliable (going almost 12hrs without a hitch) but this morning I found it sat on the little blue android man screen. Had to do a battery pull and switched the phone back on, only to end up on the same screen again. I've left the phone for a fair period of time between each battery pull (probably around 30mins) but still get the same thing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967353

Any idea's on how to fix this? Ideally I'd like to keep the same build I have now as its a really nice build... I just can't seem to get anything running properly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] propane1987:
Seem to have got it working again. Did a battery pull but left the battery out for a good 20mins before putting it in. Booted up first time and it seems to be working fine now.

I am currently using an iPhone 3GS with T-Mobile using the $10 unlimited data plan... If I upgrade to the MT4G, will that plan still work on the MT4G?

I read I can just change the APN and viola it should work... :confused:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinsane:
No it won't. You'll have to get on a andriod data plan or 4g plan.

$30 a mo.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:
or, if you've been with t-mo for a while, call up retentions and see if you can't get the Preferred Android data plan - $20 a mo.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyldkard:
the plan should still work on the MT4G but i dont know if you will get 4g service or not
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DisturbedAle:
I have heard of this option, but I'd rather save the $120/year if I can. :)

Do you have experience with this? I can forgo 4G at the moment, I'm using EDGE speeds so 3G would be great!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsMeMasih:
I went from an WinMo phone to Android and had to switch to an Android plan because they cut me off of my old plan.

I think the trick to it is if you use a non T-Mo branded phone, you may not need to update your data plan. An Android phone from T-Mo will have it's IMEI number pop up on their network and they'll know that it's and Android phone and will make you switch to their Android plan.

I was only with T-Mo for 6 months before I changed phones and asked for the preferred data plan ($20).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiian.monzta:
If you UPGRADE you will have to pay the $30 unlimited data a month fee. That is the only way you can get the phone at a subsidized price. If you buy the phone off contract then the $10 data will work
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaddamean:
This!

If you buy it elsewhere besides T-mobile, they cant force the upgrade on you. I mean they could since they can see what phone you have, but highly unlikely.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triketra:
I would double check the price plans if I were you guys. I may be wrong but I went into a T-mobile Official store yesterday and will be getting a Mytouch4g later today, and they told me my total monthly price for everything including unlimited text talk web and 4g was going to be a flat 79.99 US a month. could be wrong but that's what they told me and what the brochure says about the plan
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxperrin:
I had an iPhone 3g with t-mobile (only on edge) with the $19.99 data plan. I spoke with the "customer loyalty" dept. The assured me that if I upgraded to a mytouch 4g, they would substitute my $19.99 unlimited data plan with a $20.00 unlimited 4g plan. Sure enough, I am good to go. I was eligable for a full-upgrade, so they actually sold me the phone for $150 rather than $200 as well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DisturbedAle:
Can anyone advise on this? I just got my MT4G and the $10 plan with the changed APN to internet2.voicestream.com won't work.

Is there a fix or anything I can do?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
theres nothing you can really do about this. i was on the same thing with my iphone3GS. they will recognize the phone and it will auto direct you to the upgrade website.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
Plus if you want the $100 rebate, you have to get the $30 data plan
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiian.monzta:
If you go thru loyalty department you can get MANY deals. But T-Mobile can't force the upgrade if you buy the phone elsewhere. They will tell you that to have optimal usage and performance, the unlimited 4g plan is needed. And for the 79.99 deal, you can easily get that since the phones been out for a while and if you go through loyalty department. T-Mobile will do alot of deals to keep customers
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffott:
I've been a TMO customer for a few years now, and I can tell you that their customer service is second to none. If you ever want to change your plan or upgrade your hardware then call the customer service number and say "contract," that will get you to the customer loyalty rep. From there, you can be sure that you're going to get the best deal possible. My wife and I both upgraded our MT3Gs for MT4Gs eight months before we were supposed to be eligible for an upgrade, and they gave us the full discount...and it was during the buy one get one deal, so we got them both for $150 (or $75 each)! On top of that, they gave us an unlimited texting plan for both of us for $10/month... Since we still have or My Faves shared voice plan from years ago for $60/month, our total monthly bill for both phones is only $127 (with taxes and fees, including the preferred android unlimited data on both lines). Oh yeah, I should also mention that we didn't even have data on our MT3Gs; we had hit some hard times financially at one point, and they let us drop it without any charges or fees whatsoever. TMO has the best customer service I have ever dealt with, just let then know exactly what you want, and why you want it.

My battery drains ready and if I unplug it at 6am it won't last me past 4pm. I use my phone lightly mainly just texting. On the battery usage app it says 92 percent beside the display. I use the lowest setting for brightness. I currently have andromeda 1.0rom on my rogers captivate. Previously I had the cognition 3.04 but still the same problem. I've tried deletingbattery stats through recovery menu. I also tried calibrating the battery. Wifi is used instead of mobile network. Gps is off. Bkuetooth is off. Emails set to push (i read somewhere that push is more energy efficient than autosync)

Could this be a hardware issue? Any idea on what I should do about my problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auridran:
How much actual usage does your phone get? 10 hours of battery life is abnormal unless you have like 4 hours of screen time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:
What do you mean by this? How would I check?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auridran:
Well you can check your screen time by going into the battery stats then pressing Display.

Other than that, it'll tell you how long you've used voice calls and stuff as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:
ohhh,the only problem with that is that I restarted my phone 2 hours ago so I dont have the full data for this charge.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikonomi:
You can check your actual screen time by tapping the "Display" entry in the Battery Use screen. That will tell you how many minutes your screen has actually been turned on.

I have a similar problem: My screen seems to use a TON of battery power, and it's almost always over 93% or for battery draw. I don't see a huge difference in power use between minimum brightness and automatic.

I tend to use the internet and text/email heavily, but I'm wondering if even that could account for the insane battery use. Today, I unplugged my phone at around 6:40 am. By noon it was at 1%.

Before I started using custom ROMs, I could usually make it to 4 with what I considered heavy use. Now, I can't make it past lunch time. I've done the battery calibration, bump charging, deleted battery stats, and discharged the battery to shutdown before charging fully. The screen power draw has persisted through two ROMs and three kernels. I'm wondering if my usage pattern has just changed this much, because I can't find any hardware or firmware issue to account for this.

A few minutes ago, I checked my battery use. Here's how it played out:

Unplugged for 58 minutes

Screen on time 28 minutes 3 seconds

84% battery left

92% of power used by the screen

Do these stats look normal for screen power draw? This is what I'd call heavy use (I've been reading forums), but should the battery be draining this fast?

I have no idea. thats what i want to find out. heres mine...

wifi - 13% --- time on: 9h26m51s

cell standby - 8% --- time on: 9h27m42s

phone idle - 4$ --- time on: 8h4m29s

any idea? i slept at 3am and woke up at 930, but didnt charge the phone.

Before i slept the phone was around 72%, and when i woke up it was around 70%. from the time i unplugged it to the time i slept it went down from 100 to ~72% under moderate use.

are these numbers right to you?? the only thing i am worried about is my display consumption that seems to be killing the most. Also, wifi uses less battery than 3g/edge right? so i shouldnt have a problem leaving that on. even when im not using it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auridran:
That seems like regular battery life there. If your phone is reading your battery accurately, that means you would be getting almost 30 hours with pretty decent usage before it dies.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:
Here is another update. tell me what you think.

7% on wifi -- 10h 7m 44s

6% on cell standby -- 13h 13m 40s

3% on phone idle -- 10h 21m 4s

It doesn't even show me my voice calls and 3g usage. weird.

also, do you know if the timestamp on you batterystats.bin is supposed to change? is that normal? or does it mean my batterystats is wiping on its own?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auridran:
I believe the timestamp is supposed to change with batterystats.bin being updated. The only way it is wiped is if the file is deleted completely.

And still, that seems about right to me. 3 hours of display is a fair bit. In a regular day I normally see about 30 minutes of display usage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:
wow really? 30 minutes of display is like bascially not touching the phone at all.

Is there a reason why the battery usage does not show my voice call usages and my data uses (mobile data, not wifi)

I feel like my battery life is... Less than ideal.

I'm going to be doing a few tests, unfortunately, it seems like my battery dwindles very quickly in 30% chunks, according to JuicePlotter.

One thing I've noticed that helps a lot is disabling your data network in general, unless you plan on using it.. You can still send/receive texts and phone calls, and that's primarily what my phone is for. It helps save a significant amount of battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:
Unfortunately, because I am waiting for some emails i cannot turn off my data network. my data network is on when i cannot get a wifi signal. I also feel that this battery is not ideal. I cannot last for more than 10hrs unplugged time if i unplug it when i wake up. if I unplugged it before i slept it would be a different story for obvious reasons

Here's more stats (running Cog 3.04, Gen X 1.14 theme, stock kernel)

Unplugged for 16h 22m 40s

69% battery life

38% display: 41m 24s

23% voice calls: 29m 39s

21% wi-fi: 16h 22m 40s

13% cell standby: 16h 22m 40s

7% phone idle: 15 h 41m 16s

It seems like I can easily get around 40 hours of battery life here, but obviously I'm in the light usage market, although I do use my phone to make a lot of calls.

In the past, I found that running different modems and kernels (specifically DG's Firebird 2 kernel) drained my battery life faster. While I loved the extra power and features (Voodoo sound specifically) the drain on my battery life was not so hot (see above specs but my battery percentage would be closer to 30% than 70%). I recommend returning back to stock via ODIN, see what your battery life looks like, then adding a custom ROM, seeing what your battery looks like, then kernels, then modem. That way you'll find the source of your problem. If your battery still drains heavily on stock, try a different (possibly new) battery. If its still doing the drain, it's gotta be hardware related and you might need a new phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikonomi:
Interesting, I was at 18% battery after 2 hours 45 minutes of screen time. 93% screen, 3% wifi, 2% cell standby. I'm starting to think that a) the screen really does just use a lot of power and b) my battery is becoming deficient.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:

Not sure if the links still work there, but here is a link to the post concerning the stock Roger's ROM and Firmware. Regardless of if you're on Roger's, you could still flash to stock AT&T (so long as you have the APN of Roger's, check that under your settings > wireless networks > mobile network > Access Point Names, and copy that data down somewhere other than your phone (stuff like name, password etc, you should also be able to google this info).

That sounds like pretty good battery life to me, after all your screen was on for 3h35m, and I might add that it says nothing about the CPU draining (as most custom ROMs I've used do not display that in the battery info). Regardless, that's fantastic battery life.

What u have to see is not just the screen time!

Screen time on with a movie (stored in SD) for 2 hours would have less battery usage compared to screen being on with a movie streamed, even on wifi.

When I was doing a test to see movie time, I got well over 5 hours with screen on before it hit the 15% mark. Mind u, I didn't not have any network usage during that time, except for my 2 gmail accounts sync (not more than 3-4 mails in that time).

But in real world, if my screen is on like 2-2.5 hours with an hour of calls, with the display time being used for streaming data/audio/video/mails, I hit the ~30% mark by the end of day.
