Hey guys, im a newbie trying to attempt a flash of my HTC HD 2 Leo (T-Mobile) and i have had this issue twice before and i also asked a "?" with this problem also.. an attempt to use the USB flasher and it fails to clean the partition and it fails to install the NAND ROM to the HD 2 ... after a little struggle i came up with this.....

1) first , i tried the HSPL3_PKG to downgrade the SPL from the original (2.08. or something...) and then i Upgraded to the 2.08 HSP....

2) re use the MAGLDR and "re-hack the phone"

that will take you BACK to the magldr menu with your 10 options and hopefully you can find a NAND ROM that will work, again im only a newbie on this mumbo jumbo Android hacking, but some people have helped me and hopefully this helps someone else in need... happy days..

hello guys, I hope someone can help me,

I had the fw uk xx2.51 eclair. after some tests I flesh with the rsd

Froyo china fw 2.2.1, at the end of the flash rsd wrote me pass, but the

defy the display remained black, I tried to send him to recovery and

bootloader but nothing, I lifted the battery and restarting but nothing if i connect my defy at pc is recognized, but is still display black ...

you have any advice for me? please help me!!

thank you very much
[Defy General] chaihg:
You have read before you start modding. Once you flash frooyo rom then your phone won't reboot. Now put it into bootloader by vol up and power and then flash 2.2boot only sbf file you can find in dev section.
[Defy General] iaio72:
thanks!

resolved! now its all ok! i read about the boot.img, but was my mistake!

thanks again!
[Defy General] oberu:

Hello everybody,

i just flashed the RAFdroid ROM to my wife's HD2. (Android 2.2.1)

She was using WinMo 6.5 until yesterday and easily synced MS Outlook with the HD2 via WinMo Center.

As she now uses Android and the HD2 should show as a Desire, i installed HTC Sync 3.0.5511. When i now connect the phone to my PC it asks how to connect, where i check "HTC SYNC". The phone searches for HTC sync on my PC for a while but nothing happens.

I even started HTC Sync on my PC manually. Nothing.

I also already disabled USB debugging which then is turned on automatically, again.

What am i doing wrong?

What could i try to get HTC Sync working?

Is there another way to sync my Android HD2 with MS Outlook?

Thanks!

Steve

Try myphone explorer app and the Windows Software my phone Explorer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] procarion:
After googling for a while i installed Android SDK, rebooted and everything works fine!

Thanks for your hint with myphoneexplorer.

We prefer Outlook which now works (via HTC sync).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nixda99:
If you want to synchronize only the default outlook folders with the complete content, HTC Sync is working. But if you want to synchronize an outlook subfolder or filter some contacts, you will need MyPhoneExplorer. It works top with RafDroid via usb cable (HTC Sync-Mode) or via WIFI.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] procarion:
Thanks, i will give it a try, WLAN-sync sounds nice.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TTboy404:
As an alternative, i am using gsyncit. It is an external program to outlook, and has tons of setting (almost too many). You manually set it up to your gmail account, and it does it thing.

you can control the sync timing.

One of the nice perks/hassles about gsyncit, it runs periodically on your computer, so if its the computer/outlook is up and running, it auto syncs. You can like edit your calendar in outlook, and then sync it, and it shows up instantly with on your phone via the web.

So you could alter your wife's calendar at home in outlook, and it update her calendar in another state or driving down the road. Kinda interesting.

Please let me have your advise and instruction that what did you do with the Android SDK as I am having same problem of the sync issue with the OutLook.

Please help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
You just need to install Android SDK to your pc. PS! I also have PDAnet installed as I also saw this mentioned as a solution. I'm not sure which one (or both together) makes it work, but hey it works for me.

We have many report for big data usage on wp7 also when i usage data connection my hd2 is too hot.. that make me sceptical..

for that reason i make this thread if is not the right place please mod move it to the right place

Microsoft say: the problem coming from 3rd party apps

Some other say the problem coming from many differnet update that use the wp7 system e.g.email update, contacts update/facebook and more

Some other report says the HTC hub is one of the reason... use so much data..

That you can do is: set all account manual about the sync

Just go to settings / account and tap every account and set it manual

Fot htc hub go to in to hub and settings , do the same..

HERE you can found what Microsoft say!

HERE the report of HTC hub!!!

PS. is simply blog but have some good news.. so take a look around for other news..

Edit

Thanks for report i fix a little bit the body of the message..

I don't know if this is true or not. I am not experiencing heave data absorption without my knowledge. I can check my data consumption on the Voda website and I have a 1Gb allowance each month. I've been using WP7 as soon it went semi-public and I'm still having about 780Mb out of 1Gb left. (last update was yesterday) It is not like I am not using the internet, but I do check on mobile websites as it just renders faster and it doesn't need the zoom too often. Multitouch zoom on HD2 is a bit of a problemchild.

I do had my concerns about the social networking integration as I thought it would pull everybody's picture gallery to my phone and would upload every picture that I have to Skydrive, but that doesn't seems to be the thing.

Overall, though the WP7 was not meant for the HD2, it's going to be here for always on my phone. sob...

There is not useful information in your post. "We have many report for big data usage on wp7" Who are we? What is many? Disable Data connection if you don't like traffic. Connect on Wi-Fi, log all connections from your computer and take a look where the traffic goes and you'll know what app you need to delete.

Funnily enough I just happened to check my bill after reading this and I'm up to 750mb since the start of the month. Normally I'd average about 200mb at most.

I had the HTC hub installed which has been promptly removed so I'm gonna keep an eye on it now and see if that was the cause of the massive data jump.

I did notice a single big jump in data downloading on initial setup, this was because of facebook i think, not the facebook app, didnt happen until i had set that up so my feeling is its downloading pictures and other info, if you have many many friends on FB this would be exponential. anyhow, i didnt notice this until i got a out of starage space message, because my SD card hadnt worked first time round. So, if that is indeed the case and not just a huge coincidance connect up your phone to your PC and install/setup facebook, then see what happens

Share Wi-Fi from your computer/laptop, connect mobile through it, install any traffic counter or firewall on your PC (or use proxy that provides logs/reports), look where your traffic is going.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] princ3ofd3sis:
So I had launcherpro and know that it needs an update, but the update is only available on the Android platform through the Market/website.... and I can't connect to the internet on my Android platform (my Rhodium has wifi problems), nor is it just downloadable off their website onto my computer.

Is there a solution to this?

REVISION: Ok download APK file for the latest one but I can't figure out how to install it into the Android platform. Do I just place it on the root of the SD?

I appreciate any help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] farukb:
if you have any kind of file manager (let's say Astro) you can copy the apk anywhere you want and navigate to it using astro,and simply run it.

if you don't have a file manager (which i doubt since you seem to be using tiad's 1.21 or 1.23) you will have to use adb push command (you will need android SDK and ADB)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
if you have chrome to phone use that
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilecho:
To elaborate on what farukb said involving adb, the command to install an apk stored on your PC would be:

adb install name_of_package.apk

so then if the apk of LauncherPro is named the default of "com.fede.launcher" then the command would be:

adb install com.fede.launcher.apk

To issue this command, you will need the Android SDK installed on your computer, which can be found here

You will also need to connect your device to your PC with a USB Cable and enable USB Debugging on your Android device which is found in Menu > Settings > Applications
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] princ3ofd3sis:
i understand the process, but there's another problem. When in Android mode my phone doesn't connect to the pc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] farukb:
turn it off and run windows,copy files and boot into android again
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] princ3ofd3sis:
i'm really sorry for sounding like a noob. But I did all I can and I couldn't get it to install.

I'm going to list what I did so far:

I downloaded the APK file for launcherpro. I have it on my desktop.

I connected my phone to my computer (while in windows mode) and copied the file to two places: the Android root folder, and also to another folder labeled applications so I can access it in Windows mode.

I started up Windows, switched to Android and I cant' connect to wifi so I couldn't download the APK file... but I also couldn't connect with a USB cord while in Android mode.

I followed the advice and downloaded SDK Manager, but I can't type anything into the command prompt (nothing shows up while I'm typing) and besides my phone won't connect in Android mode.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "turn it off and run windows,copy files and boot into android again", where do i copy them to and how do i boot them in Android? Am I using the SDK manager wrong?

I appreciate all the help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Christiaan91:
For ADB read this thread.

To automatically install apps when booting android, place your apps in AndroidApps folder. (I'm not sure if it works every time you boot or only when making a new data.img)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
I am sitting here, testing my battery drain in "nothing going on" mode. Phone is on but asleep, WIFI/GPS/3G all turned off. I'm actually having trouble getting the battery to lose charge - wish we always had THAT problem. Anyway, it's not of much use in this fashion, but I did want to establish a baseline.

My specific question is about processor modes. I have a kernel (I assume, not the ROM) with an associated voltage control app. In that app, I can manage my clock speeds. The question is: would I theoretically get better battery life by limiting my clock to lower speeds? And if no one has done this test, or knows the answer in theory, can we discuss the best way to provide a constant processor drain on the phone (although one that isn't tied to speed like I assume many of the tests would be) so that I can make the observations in a reasonable time span - a sixty minute test that drains 20-30% of the battery would seem to be about what I'm looking for. As I said above, with nothing going on, I haven't drained a single % off the battery in 90 minutes.

I do a lot of backpacking and hiking, and the ability to use the phone and its GPS over a period of 5 days without carrying 5 spare batteries would be a real godsend.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
There is a thread on here somewhere that lowering the clock speed actually increases battery consumption under load, as the processor has to work longer to do a task.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
+1

Don't lower too much for any reason. For e.g., if u have a overclocked kernel at 1280, u could scale it down to 1000, but don't go beyond that. Values over 800 are used very less unless there is a task demanding that much CPU.

Plus, by math, a task that takes 5 seconds at 1280 speed would take 8-9 seconds at 600-800 levels. So I wouldn't recommend reducing clock speed to such levels, even in standby mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
I haven't found the thread about underclocking increasing battery drain, but it seems most people believe that canceling overclocking, and also undervolting, will extend battery life. I'll fool around with that for a while.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Yes. Cancelling overclocking means setting at 1000 from 1200 and 1280 or other speeds over 1000.

Under-volt to some extent, but not too much, esp at higher speeds.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Yea, in theory, if you under-volt too much, it's going to stress the device to meet the action requirements for the required action. Right now, everything on the phone is calibrated to run on around 3.7v or just a little bit lower, so if a certain process doesn't acquire enough voltage or suck enough amperage from the battery, you'll get one of the common results: 1)Random shutdowns or 2)Battery drain.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
It would lead to stress on CPU too 'cos it would be like putting regular gas and expecting peak hp out of a sports car. I can notice a difference in pickup and power between regular and premium gas in my car

when

I need quick pickup. For normal use it performs good, but u never know when u need that optimum power. Same with our phone CPU too. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Great analogy..... But..... You can just disable the knock sensor in the car and bypass the OBDII codes that pop up :D Yes, I am a gearhead lol. But in a sense, this is exactly what we are doing to our phones, trying to run with the minimum and expect the maximum.

And that brings me to this quick fix: Undervolt as much as possible, install a Nitrous Express kit for those times when you're in need of optimal power :D

I just don't mess with the OC and UV personally. I'm running everything based off of jk4 with Setiron's kernel with the standard lag-fix that's pre-applied with it, and I got rid of any... hmmm, I don't want to say "useless" apps, but I guess unnecessary or unproductive for me. If I show off my phone, people see how quick it is and like the customization of my launcher and how cool it looks, that's about the flashiest thing on my phone, but once you open the app drawer, it's all business.

Within the emulator programs, which this is really designed for anyway, you can specify any key to use for any function. This thing is basically just an overlay on up of your keys to make it more ergonomical and easier to play. On the upcoming Playstation store, I'm sure you'll be able to specify keys as well (that's my hope!!).
