I was wondering the same thing - can someone explain how we are not ported from a different cyanogen build, but there is not an official cyanogen release for the LEO?
[HD2 Android SD Development] gargon01:
Hi guys,

Thanks for the latest update! Just as a general question, if I update my build but keep a previous data.img, do I have to re-do the battery calibration procedure again ie charging up fully in WP7 and then going into Android and deleting batterystats.bin and letting the battery fully discharge, or is it all saved from the previous build and is this procedure still necessary? I've always wondered but never got around to asking. It's no biggie but I just wondered. Does anyone know?

Thanks

Possible GPS probelm - log attached

I've attached the log file of my gps problem. What I did to replicate my problem was:

start logging from terminal emulator writing to text file

press home button

start gps from notification widget

start google maps

wait for fix to be estabilished

stop gps from notification widget

wait 30 secs

start gps from notification widget

I think I've found where it is doing something with the gps (about half way down) - I'm assuming switching it on, but I'm not sure what anything means - hopefully there is enough here to help hunt down the gps problem.

Adding Sense as an option to this build seems like a great idea. Hopefully the exceptional speed will be kept. Anyways what I'm hoping for is this keyboard with arrows that's currently being used in "Dandiest Desire DL" build...

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
I have wanted THIS keyboard forever... right now i just use the htc (without arrows) researching.........

10-q

hmmmm hopes dashed. i can't find anywhere that has successfully ported the sense keyboard with arrows for AOSP/gingerbread/MIUI. I did however learn that the jonesIME that HTC one that I include in the build, aparently can be configured to use the volume keys to move back and forth through your text input.... THAT I can live with until someone ports the kb with arrows. several other devices are also waiting for someone to port this kb for them. keep ur eyes open

The battery drain problem still exists

I lose 13% charge per hour in stand by

With doing just nothing . Using a fresh data.img

[HD2 Android SD Development] arungk2:
very good build

6 to 9 ma drain on standby

youtube works very well on data and wifi

not sure if autofocus is working or not

byfar one of the best sd build ever

COGRATULATIONS AND THANKS:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
i dont think we've said anywhere that we've inluded extra codecs with the build.

so.. no... they arn't included, unless cyanogen includes them by default.

if wifi tethering isnt working.... then you are doing something wrong.

there is an apk we've included for you to install.

you will find it either

/sdcard/android/androidapps/HERE

or

/sdcard/backup/app/HERE

run it.

if you continue to have issues

in wifitether app press the middle hard key (which is the android options key) and choose reinstall binaries.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
but I suggest starting your research here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)

go here https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/tree/gingerbread/products

and find cyanogen_leo.mk

that should answer your question about cyanogen and the hd2

@ Battery problems.

Too many users are reporting positive feedback on the battery.

If you are having poor battery life

the problem could be:

-> an app you've got running in the background. use settings -> applications -> to kill them all and test again.

-> you arn't turning off your radios. wifi, gps, bt.

-> you've got your backlight turned up all the way

-> you are using a live wallpaper

-> your battery is getting old and can no longer hold a full charge like it used to

-> your testing during the first android session after an update to a new build.. you need to let it settle a bit

I myself am having fantastic battery life, tho my hd2 is less then 1 year old.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
Hehe... well good to know that you're after the same thing and are keeping your eyes open.

I tried to backup the keyboard from DesireDL using Titanium Backup and restore it on AmeriCanAndroid but unfortunately it wasn't that easy :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance and thanks to the developers for all their work
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Anther painless install for me so far. Everything has been working as smooth as my trusty FEB16 build. Maybe data is better but I haven't the chance to really test that. I can hide my SSID's now. =) I will see how well DSP works this upcoming week.

Battery life is good so far and I will be watching to see if it improves as much as it did over the 3 weeks I had the last build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Keyboard and battery feedback.

I wish I could remember the specific build, but I liked the keyboard that has ".com" as a choice, but this keyboard in combination with the "insertion/copy/paste" edit tool works pretty well. The arrows would be nice, but the other tools, I think, are adequate. I like the spacing in gingerbread's stock keyboard. Once you use that, it's hard to go back to froyo's.

My battery life has been reasonable in standby, but sometimes seems excessive during regular use. Haven't yet figured out if there is a particular app causing this... However, I also can confirm that old batteries are WAY worse than new batteries. I bought a couple of new batteries and still have the old one which likely is from prior to October (got phone off of eBay) and the difference is very noticable. Turning off autosync helps a lot. I accidentally left wifi active overnight, but still saw 5mA on current widget when i woke it up this morning, and that's very good.

Thanks for the build guys - this is really nice and stable.

I was looking over in HTC HD2 general for the answer to this question (which I'm still wondering about) what is the difference between cell standby and phone idle?

But I wanted to share this cool tool I found because of looking for that answer...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741750&highlight=battery

This tool allows you to learn excellent diagnostic information about your phone: battery info, apps usage, wifi info, phone network info. In particular, for the person who has been having significant wifi trouble, check it out because it allows you to test stuff and gives detailed configuration information.

Good luck!

[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
nice work kris :) thumbs up

no one is ignoring the issue. warren is actively workin on a new kernel that will update all the bcm components for the build. we are using an outdated .32 kernel that has hastarin 8.5.3 origins. we are working towards a .37 kernel which is most recent. we have to work with cyanogenmod changes... and they have changed a LOT since feb 16. we are doing our best to keep up with them. :mad:

and really.. i think.. all you ahve to do is FORGET existing networks and re create them to solve your current issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Okay sorry for this then. I just felt liike being ignored as noone even said anything on this.

But, if I may ask, why did it work in Feb release?

If it really was the outdated kernel it should not have worked in Feb, too, should it?

//Edit: It happens with a new blank data.img (I always try this first if I have problems after an update)

Too bad the most useful "battery history" component appears to have been removed since this link was first posted. :(

Which is unfortunate since I am consistently going from 80% to about 15% battery life every night and I'm not sure why. Location services are off. I think WiFi is usually still on so I'll try and turn that off too. It just means that any processes that are still pulling in data will have to use cell and I'm not sure which is more hungry.

To those having battery lifetime issues....

I've just found some extended life batteries (2430mAH) on ebay which are the same size as normal batteries!! I've ordered one and will report back in a few days, but for £9.99, it is the same price as a normal replacement battery, so it is worth a chance (I believe they do worldwide delivery at a small price). If any one else wants to look at them, just search for "htc hd2 battery 2430"

Thanks markber, but no this doesn't fix it - I have the "Use wireless networks" always selected.

Using the *#*#4636#*#* command, running the ping test for me fails though I am obviously able to connect.

Yesterday I found and bought a great live wallpaper. Even with it running, sync services on and a few periodically updating widgets I get great battery life (without playing with the phone), current widget reports as low as 3mAh when I wake the phone up.

I went to a T-Mobile store today and there is a discount on a clear body glove case, bought it and 2 screen protectors for ~$10.25. Then I bought a OEM battery as well, considering my battery is already a year old I am not eligible for a phone full discount until Q2 2012.

Awesome, thanks!

It's weird because I had plugged the device into a charger (USB cable plugged into a wall) and the light remained lit, but when I plug it into a cable that's plugged into a laptop, the light switches off.

Love this build

Just wanted to say this is the BEST build for the Tmobile HD2 out there. I've tried them all over the past 3 months and this is it. I have decided I don't need all the gloss of the Desire/EVO/Etc roms. Pure gingerbread is the way to go.

Best battery life by FAR. With wifi/bluetooth/sync off, 50% screen brightness, and tasks killed on screen off I get a full days moderate use EASILY. The battery life is on par with stock windows mobile. On older roms I would get 10% drain per hour. This rom (all the way back to previous builds) I get only 3-5% drop per hour.

The 3/12 release finally fixed notification LEDs (with LEDMEKNOW installed). Never worked on any previous builds.

Also, for those with screen wake up lag I recommend a different memory card. When I switched cards and the screen lag disappeared. Don't ask me why but a slower class memory card works better in my case.

Upgraded the last three builds by copying my data.img only and didn't lose any settings. Use titanium backup as a backup to the data.img upgrade.

This build is phenomenal, I hadn't updated for over a month but I finally partitioned my SD card and updated to the 10th March build.

The battery life is amazing, I usually have to keep my charger plugged in overnight to ensure I have a full battery in the morning but now I lose about 2% overnight. The speed increase is brilliant, I was reluctant to partition my card but I'm glad I did, updating will be less of a chore.

Excellent work. This is by far the best CM7 build out there.

If you absolutely insist on more capacity, buy the official OEM extended battery and this case to compensate for the visual atrocity that the extended battery is:
