Can't download apps from the Market

I'm using Version Aug 28, I can browse the apps in Market, but if I download them, it sticks, no data can be received.

I tried to change the density to 240 by LCD Density, it didn't work.

Any one can help? Thanks in advance!

One problem I am having is with wifi tethering. I downgraded to 2.0.6 like someone recommended, but now when I try to turn on wifi tethering in the app it says unable to start tethering, make sure your device is rooted, but superuser shows in its logs, that it is granting it SU permissions.

GPS

Hi all,

Awesome build just keeps getting better. I have an issue where I cant get maps or navigation to find my location. I downloaded GPS Status and GPS Test from market and they appear to be working fine. Using Tmo 0301 build with data.img from 2/14. No settings changed after install. I didn't try gps fix as I see others reporting it is working in the current build.

I know its something I'm missing though just not sure what. Hope it isn't an issue with my data.img.
[HD2 Android SD Development] andylhchen:
I am still getting alot of data issues..

data is slow.. keeps switching from 3g to Hspda

also

having had the phone on for a prolonged period of time.. data will show connect but simply can not connect properly, airplane mode switch doesn't work.. only can reconnect after reboot..

Does anyone else have the above problems?

Otherwise running great :o

@Docent

Now that Cope and Warren are asleep can you please help me wiith my query about how to use htc keyboard with directional arrows with this build. I am a heavy text user and the arrows are very handy in navigating through the text. I have asked this issue twice already but no one has even attempted to answer ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] andboy:
Bluetooth keyboard

First, thanks to warrenb for enabling /proc/config.gz in the recent build.

CM supports bluetooth keyboards. Other HD2 builds in the past have supported it, but it seems to be broken in AmeriCanAndroid. It connects but keypresses have no effect. I ran hcidump and logcat in a working build and ACA to compare. The hcidump looked very similar except for a handle number in "ACL Data: handle 11 flags..."

hcidump -XVt shows reasonable output for each keypress.

The logcat in a working build shows some keycharmap activity "qwerty.kcm.bin", but the logcat from ACA doesn't show any sign of keyboard activity.

I tried adding logwrapper to bluetoothd and hciattach in init.rc and init.htcleo.rc. There's several lines of output when it connects, but still nothing in logcat on a keypress.

I guess that means the keypress is getting to the kernel, but it's not making it to Android libraries. I tried running dbus-monitor but it gives a segmentation fault. Any hints on what to do next to troubleshoot? What would cause the keypress event to not be passed on to the Android libraries?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
Somewhat similar, but for me switching to airplane a back always helps. But during and after my way by underground (about 40 minutes repeatedly loosing signal) i am without data until airplane switch.

I tried to logcat but it didn't work until i rebooted my phone

C:\Share\install\Android\logcat>adb shell "df /sdcard"

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

agree...data is better then the last build but still too many drops....also goggles FC all the time...don't care even if Goggle is removed but the data need a fix must....

Thanks, other then...it's a very smooth build...loving it..
[HD2 Android SD Development] Luke15153:
Cope, Warren, what did you do with GPS?

Usually I am out of my village when I get the first fix. Now I just get my car turned around and GPS is working :) Very cool.

I have one issue and a strange behaviour, both related to data:

The issue: I noticed, that the data connection is sometimes not reestablished after a short term disconnect. (I have no network and phone for just a short time, about 1-2 secs). This happens most of times, if the phone switches the network from 3G to Edge (change of cell?).

Strange behaviour: I noticed in the Mar 01 release, that in case of 3G the connection very often flips between 3G (UMTS?) and H. This happens obviously, if data is transmitted. May be this is normal behaviour of the modem but has not been shown in display in the prior releases.

Its a little bit irritating only.

Any ideas?

doesnt find secured wifi network??

First, for all that are having probs with goggles, just upgrade the version from the market and everything works...

back to my problem, as you might recall I am the guy who had these random reboots, bin on the 0301 build for over 24h so far and I must say it is brilliant. apllied all the fixes (wifi & dsp) and everything runs great and battery drain is very good imo!

I also have data drop issues, but I am somewhat used to them on Android on HD2. Also, I live between 2 cell towers and had connection (even phone) problems since I first came here 8 years ago...

However, I encountered a very strange problem, the 0301 build does not seem to recognise my secured wifi network anymore? It finds an open one near by but not mine, even when I am sitting right next to the router :confused:

I have searched the FAQ and thread but have not found anything related. Also, the previous builds (0224 / 0226) had no such problem as I used to set up everything over my wifi and had my sim in another phone while doing the upgrades.

That said, thanks for an otehrwise absolutely great build, really gives me the experience of having a new phone! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
1. Check your wifi advanced settings - (channel number) it depends from region. Europe has 11, Asia 13 channels

Disable backups (wifi settings) with Google. Run WIFI, touch and 'FORGET' network.

Go to airplane mode

Switch Wifi again to on. You should be able to find and connect to a network.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Thanks docent, reliable and fast as ever! :D

Although I did not get the first part with the backup thing, I changed the channels, airplane mode and bang, found it and connected just perfect!

Thanks again!

Thanks to Cope 'n Warren ... I REALLY enjoy the fact that upgrading is a simple as copying a few files across ... no need to reinstall apps & restore data. You guys

ROCK

! :D

OK, enough of the mushy stuff ... I'm a geek afterall ... :p

2 issues [so far]:

1.) My little Widget issue is still there ... help ... anyone? [This seems to involve more than just Current Widget ... some others do the same type of thing ...]

2.) Button Savior still there. I go to Setting / Applications / Manage Applications / Button Savior / Uninstall / OK & get the message "Uninstall not successful"

I know I could reformat ext3 & use new data.img, but would that actually solve the issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
If youre a geek ;)

- remove SWKey11.apk from

----/sdcard/androidapps

----/data/apps

----/sd-ext/data/apps

Reboot, and look if BS is stil there - or is it uninstallable now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Luke15153:
A new data.img solves issue 2.) for me. No Button savior any more.

The installed apps are part of the data.img => if you use your old data you will get your old apps (hope this is correct).

I compared winmo wifi mac address to this version...found both are different. if there is any reason, it's ok but I have a problem with this difference. Telecom company is providing 3G and as well, wifi...Sometimes I feel to use wifi but I can't use the wifi telecom company is providing because the company keeps my winmo mac address...in my memory cerntain kernel provided to modify but these days most of kernel doesn't provide the function.

It looks like this will enable Bluetooth Hands Free Profile. What does this do? Are there any side effects enabling it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
Actually, I moved most of the apps to external storage. I don't think I have too many installed, a bunch of games I'm trying or letting my son play, but none that are too big. And, as I said, most are move to external storage.

I don't have that much in internal storage. So, I'm trying to figure out what is taking up that much space.

I thought maybe pictures from the camera or some downloads or browser cache or something like that, but I am not sure.

I am using magldr to run AmeriCanAndroid on SD card with WP7 in NAND. I think i read a while back that the the startup.txt method of changing the lcd-density does not work with this setup. It doesn't seem to work for me so can i assume that this is still a problem and that the only way to change the lcd density is to edit the system files manually?
[HD2 Android SD Development] interw:
Yes, startup.txt does not work for this setup.

Ok so I noticed today when I answer a phone call its defaulted on speaker phone. How in the world do I fix this, its extremely annoying and loud if you don't realize its on speaker. Any ideas how to fix this??
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
Processing the startup.txt is supposed to be supported in the next version of MAGLDR, but I haven't seen any indication of when that might be.
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
Go to Manage Apps, tap the All tab then hit the menu button and sort by size. You might have one at the top taking up a lot. A similar thing happened on my wife's HTC Sensation and it turned out that "Contacts Storage" was using about 700mb. I never really found out why - I just cleared the data (tap the app and hit the clear data button), but then had to delete her mail account and recreate it as all her synced contacts from Exchange were gone. Everything came back and it hasn't happened again. Might not be the same thing for you but it should show up the culprit.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Did you check your profiles? You should be able to change those and choose the one you want.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SPEEDHAMMER:
exact same prob here.You can get around this temporarily by downloading a lcd density changer app from the market and set it to 240. Maybe we just gotta wait it out till a fix is released. But theres a temporary workaround for this, so its just a minor prob;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Could just use root explorer and mod the build.prop .... then restart....that's the way most folks have to do it.

My battery drain about 60mA when idle with screen off with 0828 built. I got about 6 to 9mA with 0817 built. Else everything is working fine for me. I don't use task killer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Yes, I would love to know more about this also!
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Pictures are saved on your SD card, outside the data.img, aswell as music and data like maps. They don't impact on the 1GB data.img.

Don't waste too much time trying to find the culprit. If you can't find it using the method clarkg described, try a fresh install. It's usually faster.

B/T VOIP Problem

I have a B/T voip related problem with the SD version of this rom.

If I answer a voip call with b/t (jabra 8040) I lose the sound for subsequent calls till I reboot.

This happens only after a voip call. I have the same problem with other versions that I have tried.

Is there any way to fix this? Solutions, suggestions?

emergency...

after installing the latest build, my touch screen has become unresponsive. i can boot up fine and see the lock screes but my inputs are not being read. i dual boot wp7 and my worst nightmare came true because it al the same on wp7, which makes me thing it has to be a coincidental hardware issue.

could this be a software issue, even though it is happening on two different OS?

Is anyone familiar with this and what would be my best next step?

Is there anyway to get my text messages that would be coming in today while my phone is off? i dont even want to boot up since then i will receive these messages and not be able to read them, thus losing them.

help and thanks ,

[HD2 Android SD Development] konstantin1286:
had the same

i had the same issue...

mine was a digitizer problem

semi-solution press really hard the end button (there is screen cable underneath and it will make the screen work) after a couple of successful tries this solution will not work

cheap solution buy a new digitizer ((hard to install it your self) (really harder if your lcd needs to be ironed with the new digitizer)) 25$

expensive solution buy a new lcd+digitizer 70$

i know this is a standard problem among hd2 devises and i don't think that it's the android builds fault... someone should research and tell us!

hope i helped! :rolleyes:

[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
The problem is simple. Your touch screen is not working.

You should have known this is not an Android problem when it did not work WP7 as well. Thats more than enough solution.

Touchscreen stops working in HD2 when the end-key is overused. That's probably the problem in your case too. My HD2 is under repair for the same thing.

Show it to your service center and probably a clean-up of the key pad or a replacement of the keypad should help.

No issues with android or WP7.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
Yes, I looked at the sizes of the apps, but nothing indicated anything huge. But, I kept moving things from internal to external, and now I have 370 MB! Not sure what the hog was, but after moving more of the little ones, something freed up a bunch of memory.

I had previously moved everything over 4 MB, and was in the process of moving the smaller apps.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Now, I am ready to back everything up, and update my version of Android!:)

What's taking up space tool

You might want to check this out: DiskUsage Shows How Your Android’s Storage Space Is Used

Incidentally, are you using SHREDroid? SHREDroid creates files on your SDCard named "full_x" where "x" is a number starting from 0. This happens if SHREDroid fails at any time. Simply delete these files if you find them in your SDCard.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
On the Android App Store, it says Disk Usage is incompatible with my device?

It looks good, so I do want to try it.

I don't have SHREDroid.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
on PC (web) Market it says incompatible, on HD2 Market installs with no problems, if does not work for you get older apk from here and then try to upgrade (or not)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
So, are you just downloading the .APK file from code.google.com and install that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It doesn't recognize sdext
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
yes did it at first, after refusal from web market,

then found and installed newer version on my device
[HD2 Android SD Development] mv:-):
newer meaning the latest, as in the market? anyway, i was going to tell you that you could use the "workaround" that is working for some but is not being recommended by the aca developers to get almost all market apps.

___________________________________
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
I did not have my device at hand at first, so getting the apk was the most natural choice, later found it on Android's Android Market

as to the 'workaround' so far had no need to use it, all my apps are update-able, the only flaw being that some do not show on "My Apps" list, so to get notifications on updates I check in AppBrain Market first (surprisingly this one shows all the updates), then look for them in Android Mkt,

funny thing though - I've found that it's not only the device model set in the build.prop that limits access to apps in market, but also language chosen in Settings - some apps come back once I set it to English (no Market Enabler or similar used)
[HD2 Android SD Development] konstantin1286:
no need for a new phone...u have the best... just sent it 4 cleaning as sanju recomments but i think u ll probably need to change your digitizer(toushscreen) only 25$ (or 70$ with the lcd) and you can change it yourself in 5 mins
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
I would suggest some throw-away phone as a second,. If you have problems with an update or anything, you are not hurried to fix it, knowing you have the cheap extra phone. Also, if you go somewhere adventurous that you don't want to take your HD2, you can use the "throw-away".

I brought my throw-away to Six Flags this summer.
