are you setting your apns

are you using the tmo build

are you in a 2g area

how is your cell reception

where are you when your data drops.. or what are you doing?

details. please
[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
Same here.....maybe its a gingerbread problem?

Also my emails get stuck in outbid and have to reboot to get it to send.

GPS connects fine for maps but navigator just hangs on checking God connection when the Sybil shows it as connected.

Other than that the build is perfect.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bdaboy338:
im on the tmobile version. i used the default apn setting. i have very good 3g covrage, i live in the city. and i just get random data drop. i will be using it at the data just stop. do u have an apn setting? if u do can u post it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
To your previous post until you edited it, it happens to me. I uninstall apps and on reboot they come back. This has happened to since 30811. Is there a possible fix?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
WoAH! Are we talking about my sense add in? Or is this some new thing? If it is something new, I'm all in.

If not, you guys can get an early headstart in trying out my sense theme with the current build. Files and instructions on page 217.

If it's something different, I can't wait. Nice work cope and warren. btw, is AmeriCanAndroid both of you? Or is it someone else? I'm confused.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
yes this is about you ;)

americanandroid is both of us .. (so we can co manager the build if need be)

i am cope rightnow..

cope is cope and

warren is warren ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
i think this is a one of issue. it isnt hapenning with all apps is it...

so far only with one app.

uninstall the app in the manage apps section, then find the app with a file explorer. in /sd-ext/app and delete it there and it wont come back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
wifi errors with this build anyone?

im having them. looking into whats up.

let me know asap incase i have to pull the build
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
No wi-fi errors on my phone. the only problem i have is my videos start skipping and lagging with this new update.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
That worked perfectly, Thanks! :D

Infamous font question...

Hi guys - I have a 22 inch screen and I also had to peer at the screen to see the information (yes, i know about the control + trick, but why make people work so hard when you could choose a font just a weeeeensy bit bigger...)

OK - regarding the infamous font question...I checked all four FAQ areas. I think the font question is only addressed in the google doc FAQ. I installed the build.prop file, as directed. When I restarted - it looked identical to me. Are we supposed to change a setting? If so, please advise and consider enhancing the FAQ to include that info. If not, what might be happening to prevent the font change? I love the look but even with reading glasses, the resolution is making me strain.

Please do not eat either of my cats. I love them both. (I know that's the LED response, but still...)

Thanks,

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] JHimmelbauer:
until now (~1,5 hr) no problem - 100% stable like the last build

:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
What exactly did you do.

Put the root folder and its contents in your Android folder?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
Were you and Warren able to figure out my instructions? If you have any problems, message me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
^^ not yet.. still workin out some other things.

right now im booting with a new data.img to see if that is my wifi issue but I cant see that being the case.... either way. cmillens is reporting he's having bt issues.

can anyone confirm that for me?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It doesn't need to be in any FAQ when it's clearly stated under the ROM description in post #1

My guess is that you have not "installed the buil.prop,as directed".

The simplest way is to copy the root folder from 240buildprop and paste into the Android folder - reboot - viola!
[HD2 Android SD Development] JohnM109R:
All data and wifi connections are stable here....no dropouts... :)

3G Data Drop Out Telstra Australia

Hi Guys,

I've noticed that after the phone goes to standby for a period of time, when I get back in I have lost my 3g Data connection. I have to go in and disable and reenabe data from settings to get it to work.

One other occurance is teh camera says there is no SD card present, this happens if I put teh phone into standby with teh camera running and and restart phone, it start in camera mode (Nice) quit camera, restart camera. No SD. (Gallary also reports no SD). have to reboot to fix.

V Strange!

Other then that, this is the most stable and best Gingerbread builds I have ever used and is on my phone daily.:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
Very good so far. Data and wi-fi stable, 180dpi is too small so I changed it to 240dpi. But the only problems I've encountered on this build and most of the GB build is when its on sleep or screen is off then go to start it or turn it on it lags and you start up. This happens especially when you turn the screen off right away and then seconds later need to turn it back on but it lags and you have to wait before it will wake and let you see the unlock screen. Does anyone experience this problem and if so how do you resolve it. Is there some type of settings I'm missing.

****found out the answer is to use a new sd card, kingston 8gb class 6 had problems but when I switched to either sandisk or A-Data 16gb class 2 card I had no problems with lag or waking phone up immediately****
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
Has anyone successfully run and played Dungeon Defenders on the HD2, whether on this build or on another?

Please describe the performance if you have. Is it laggy? I don't wanna download it until I know for sure, a 500 mb file from a phone takes forever.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragon42tt:
Great work, working like a charm.

Finally found a dual boot combination that works, super smooth.

I been working on this phone like a part time job, finally found a combination that works, well happy with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
:) great feedback so far.

I've made changes in the bkup2sdext feature for the next build which should

improve reliability and speed in some cases. (boot and shutdown time decrease)

and less chance of fc's on restore of data to /data from /sd-ext

am testing now.

also

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdBm1DlQ13g&feature=related

anyone got anyfeedback on that test camera i included?
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
Well i tried the new camera, didnt really like it as much as the original but it works. Also the letters are out of place in the menus. But i think this is related to that im using 180 dpi instead of 240. And the picture quality to my eyes isnt as great as the original one included in the build. I reverted back to the original, didn't like the UI :o

Infamous font question...

Actually, that is precisely what I did, and when I rebooted, I verified that the folder and its contents were there because it looks exactly the same. (This also answers post #2355 - thank you for asking).

I wish, when someone posts what they did, that the automatic assumption is not that they are wrong...It is very discouraging to people who work out a lot of stuff and get blasted for asking questions...

I nicely ask again - should pasting the file as directed automatically change the resolution or do you have to do something else? Has anyone else placed this file and gotten the expected results?

Thanks,

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Is this officially supposed to be baked in now? Cause I don't see it on mine.

Whatever happened to the custom boot animation? WarCope, are you still adding one in?

I have updated to the latest build. No issues so far. Very painless and boring install. Great! :) I got back most of my settings with Titi Backup. I will use for awhile and see how it is. One thing I did notice is that you really need like 2 weeks or so with a build to really see some of the improvements. My battery life just continued to get better and better over the days. So if you DL this build and whine about battery life tomorrow, you are "holding the phone wrong" /meme. =)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
If you followed the instructions it should be at 240 after a reboot. No need to do anything else.

You could use ES File Explorer, give it root access in its settings or use another explorer that uses root.

Find the build.prop file.

If using ES Explorer:

You have to tab the sd card icon in ES. Go to the "system" folder. Open build.prop. Find line: ro.sf.lcd_density=180. Change it to ro.sf.lcd_density=240.

It should be 240 if you followed instructions but if it isn't make it 240.

Leave the editor and make sure it saves the changes. If you don't give it root access it won't. Reboot phone.

If that doesn't work I don't know how to help you.

It works for everyone else.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Font...

OK - Thanks for that information. I went in and viewed the file. It does say 240 (which I expected, because, as I said, I did follow the directions.)

So, what might be overriding this build.prop file? Where is the build information being accessed if not from that file? I wouldn't necessarily assume that "it is working for everyone else" since perhaps people might not complain - they risk being ridiculed. Or is it possible it's already at 240? My understanding was that the default was 180?

I admit to being mystified. I've restarted again, just in case and it looks the same.

New Camera ok, i agree i think the quality of pic not quite as vibrant as original camera, i'll have to do a+b test to confirm, also as noted some of the text is off, on : settings "restore defaults" little round window. im using 240 build prop.

Everything else in this build 031211 super smooth!

Try reading the FAQ in my signature. It might have the solution you are looking for. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] markber:
Thanks, I did read the FAQ before posting ;-)

1. How do I verify if today's build is defective so I can determine whether or not to apply the fix?

2. I've verified that SDCard:\Android\startup.txt contains the correct GPS country code

3. Where do I find /gps/conf.inf

Thanks

Mark
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Wow you are right, they musta removed that piece of info from it. Weird. Search this thread for the fix, I know its been mentioned and I forgot the setting to check.
[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
I had this problem - read the first post. It includes details on changes that you need to make in order to boot from MAGLDR instead of haret.exe

EDIT:

here is the line you need to read (I know the first post it quite long to get through)

"BOOTSDfromMAGLDR: includes optional rootfs.img that allows to boot build from magldr (!readme! in /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR)"
[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
No problem guys - I agree GPS lock times are very acceptable as it is, I just thought this might be easy to add in (and I couldn't figure out CWM). Thanks for taking it into consideration though - you are by far the responsive devs with the best build out there.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You could change it to 160 just to see if it has any effect or go up to 280 if you prefer that.

And no, I don't think anyone is holding back here.

The question about small icons comes up quite a lot. Usually people didn't read the first page/the FAQ or just forum search, they just barge in and ask something that has been asked and answered a hundred times. Which is pretty annoying.

Chances that you were just one more of those guys were pretty high. Somewhere around 95% I would say.

I hope that explains some of the initial reactions to your question in the beginning.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
So I installed one of those boot screens manually from the thread I linked earlier, and wow these suckers are really sick. It almost makes me want to reboot my phone for no reason, lol.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
I had that issue too back when I used any cluster size lower than 64KBs. My current SD card though is 32GBs and my FAT32 partition is 25GBs so that might be why.

[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
You can search the original SD thread for Cope's build or even this one. The instructions for this has been posted many times.

[HD2 Android SD Development] chn110:
aesthetically challenged

The build it is very fast and fluid but

- Standby battery drain is somewhat erratic.

- cifs and nls_utf8 kernel modules do not load.

- Kernel does not seem to have low memory setting adjusted. This may cause 3G hangs (have not run long enough to see it)

- Music player does not stop when phone calls come in using Sipdroid.

- Audio of incoming calls is not routed to BT headset using Sipdroid.

- SPB TV shows a black screen

- Boot up screen and music player look aesthetically challenged :p

Hope some of these can be fixed in future builds and as always - thanks for the efforts in getting us an HD2 Gingerbread build!

Another thing I noticed, even when running speedtest.net over WiFi, is that your build 'stutters', seeming as if the dowlonlad stops for a moment, quite frequently, while Typhoon is butter smooth.

I wasn't sure, but I knew that the answer would be found that way. So I pointed you in that direction. Don't worry, you can thank me later. =)

Hi there.. Im a noob here.. I have just managed to install Gingerbread on my HD2. I have few questions to ask:

1) The LED indicator is always on (yellow). What does it mean? And how do I turn it off?

2) How can I import my contacts from Winmo 6.5?

3) How do I get the time/weather to show on my front screen?

4) At first, I could press and hold an icon, and after vibration I'd be able to move it around, send it to trash, etc. Then I downloaded Advanced Task Killer from Market, and now when I press and hold an icon, nothing happens after the vibration. I've rebooted my device and launched Android again, no help. What am I doing wrong?

Cheers.

Hey, has anybody else experienced something wrong with screen off while using ROM with MAGLDR? When I press button to switch off the screen, screen turns off with old-tv-turn-off animation and I'm presented with lock screen when I turn it on. Everything fine till this. But, when screen times out and switches off itself, and then if you press power button to wake the device up, no lock screen! I'm taken directly to the frame which I was viewing. Is that bug or it's supposed to be so? I'd like to get lock screen every time I wake it up. (I tried Cynogen settings and got lost!)
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
I just got home after a night of drinking, so maybe I had a few too many or this is actually happening:

When I scroll the notification bar all the way down, at the very bottom of the pulled down bar, there is a row of pixels that I can "see through". If you have a bright wallpaper or at least if the bottom of the wallpaper is bright, maybe you can see it too. If I set a live wallpaper, I can actually see the "motion" that may be happening on the bottom of the wallpaper in the background. It's not an issue, can totally live with it, just wanted to know if others have this as well or it's just me or a result of intoxication. Either way, I am off to hunt down a screen shot app to see if it will reproduce that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
Weird, screen shot app doesn't reproduce it but when the notification bar is pulled down, it's there right above the letter "c" from the htc logo below the screen.

Hi, I would like to test android on my hd2

I have formatted my 2gb SD card in fat32

Copied the Andorid folder in the root of SD card

Started the file clrcad.exe

after I started the haret.exe

I have a fast black screen with white letters and after a green htc

After 20 minutes Android is not started. I have always the green htc screen

What I can do to try Android by SD?

On my HD2 I have Artemis ROM v. 53.0 and Radio 2.15.50.14

Thanks

if they are saved to google, they will sync to your phone with the account.. all my contacts are on google/facebook so they just sync.. if theyre on SIM, somebody would have to confirm that working
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
Glad I am not alone with the strange pixel column.

If you want your contacts from winmo, while in winmo (let's call it losemo from now on) copy your contacts to the sim card. After you boot into android, go to contacts and hit the middle button on your phone to bring up a menu and then hit import/export.

I don't know whether your ROM is compatible. Though strictly empirical, I think if you do get the green HTC logo, your ROM is likely compatible. I do not know for sure.

Also empirical, based on the comments of users I have read, you can try rebooting the phone several times. I saw people reporting that it will work after several reboots it will work, I also read that sometimes it can take up to 30 minutes for the first boot. Maybe others can be more helpful to you.

Possible GPS problem....

I've just been out and about and thought I'd take the opportunity to test the gps. Initially it was quick to find the location, but when i turned gps off, then on again later, it refuses to work. If I reboot, it fixes it and it works again until I turn it off and on again.

I'm using the data.img from the Mar10 build on the latest Mar12 build.

Am going to try that logging option to try and work out what is happenning, but it might take a bit of time as it would probably be best to do it on my laptop, in a location where I can definitely get gps reception ;)

edit>

just googled and worked out how to do it through teminal emulator - will do it, then put it up shortly.
