Regarding gray/green icons: Since the original G1 Android version, green only means sync data, connectivity is indicated with the actual bars and icon, not their color. Go look in any Android phone manual then come back here and apologize :)

If you go into settings/account you can disable all auto syncing, your icons will be gray but you guessed it, your phone will pull data.

GPS: Contrary to the apparently popular belief, Earth is round. And it rotates, relatively fast. To get an accurate lock on, the GPS needs both the almanac data ( which the satellites broadcast every 12 minutes 30 seconds) and the ephemeris data. If that data is not cached, you simply have to wait before your GPS knows which satellite are beyond horizon and the orbit data for satellites.

I guarantee you that the GPS works in the previous 3 builds, I bet my right hand on this. If you cannot get a lock, you are not trying hard enough ir your GPS receiver is defect.

I am just going to take a guess here and say that you didn't spend enough time reading up the faq's. Half an hour would do. There is a sticky thread in HD2/Android/SD Development. Read the guides/ how to. I am just guessing here but I think you didn't update your radio hence all attempts are failing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JLowe:
WiFi Tethering is definitely not working for me. Really tried everything - Sometimes I have a connection, but then .What about this DroidWall? It's not installed by default.

I really love to have this great build on my HD2, but I need this Tether for my Tablet... ;)

I attached a logcat (over adb wifi and then on my xp netbook in a dos-shell, copied the window to a text-file)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
That is good advice. I myself read and lurked on these forums for 2 weeks before i even started to mess with my phone and actually try anything. it kinda sucked to read all those 300pg+ long threads but.. no pain no gain, right?

Even now, I'm still on FEB16, but I'm keeping up on all the updates so when I'm ready, I already know what to look out for. I just need to finish up all my web projects so i can have some actual free time. Lately its been just me, my computer and a Ruby on Rails command line.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I gave a similar answer to someone in the HD2 Software subforum just minutes ago.

I also adviced on reading the article about gps in wikipedia.

To make sure I got everything right I reread said article and wasn't too sure about my answer after that.

Our phones use AGPS as far as I know. Getting hold of the almanac should be a lot faster that way.

If you know more about gps and how it works, it would be nice to shead some light on the issue.

Not that I have a problem with gps on my HD2. First sat fix took a couple of minutes, subsequent connects were under 1 minute. But I am using a older build since everything I use works just fine and I didn't see any need to go through the update process.

[HD2 Android SD Development] janne303:
But the strange thing is now that i have reinstall the rom and have rebooted a few times it works?

I formatted the sd card with the panasonic formatter instead of inside windows. Can that be the issue that I have format in windows? Can it be so simple?

[HD2 Android SD Development] ataf:
I figured out now, how I can reproduce the battery live problem

when I restart the HD2 the battery drain is in standby, 140 mah

if I close wifi and gps, and start them again the consumtion reduce to 11 mah

so if I set BT on it consumes 370 mah

if i shut down BT it consumes 140-160 mah in standby

when I close BT and wifi and set it on right after, the battery drain is back to normal

hope you can reproduce this issues too, so someone can confirm this is a bug
[HD2 Android SD Development] StarLog:
DOH !

Figured out that my AP at home was not connecting cause of one letter in the WEP key... thanks for making me look closer..

GPS works

EMAIL Exchange works great, I receive email on my ipad the same time as my HD2.. :)

battery drain was a bit too high after first boot, then rebooted several times, while waiting between boots for it to settle. Now battery drain is acceptable.
[HD2 Android SD Development] StarLog:
Docent,

I have tried to correct the graph in the FAQ, showing the memory sizes.

But no matter how I rearrange it, this does not present correctly.

Can you create this graph and then snapshot it and add as a picture to the FAQ.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
the zImage is the kernel only.

the proper way to update your build to a new one is to

copy the Android folder from the newly unzipped new build files you downloaded.

TO

/sdcard/HERE

so it says

/sdcard/Android

overwrite all files and folder that already exist.

winmo users will be familiar with this location as

\external storage\Android

then boot into android.

its pretty simple actually.

this is the only way you should be updating from build to build
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
dood. i hate also for you to disagree with me.... but I know I am right.... I can download **** from the internet when my arrows are grey... so....... disagree all you want.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
see. thatll teach you for disagreeing ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
users that think this build is consuming more battery power then normal.

"I have to disagree" with you. lol (sorry couldnt resist)

we do have many users that have no problem with battery drain.

so why are some having issues...

give us a list of the apps you have installed... esp any task killers or other apps designed to shut off radios or keep the device on for some reason.

and like i keep saying... battery life is going to improve with the next updated kernel we get from warren. so be patient.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
SEE! it may be an app that is causing your high battery drain.

I DO NOT use led me know and my power consumption is around 4 to 7 mah right where it should be. So... stop blaming the build! ;) lets find the REAL problem together.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
^^^ today's most awesome user feedback to other user award goes to ^^^

thanks for the great support :) thumbs way UP
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
you can't rely on a reading RIGHT AFTER you turn on your radios... as current widget waits for a predetermined time to update.

so lets say you turn on your radios and look at current widget right after and it says ie: 11mah. You are not really getting a correct reading.. you need to wait for however long is set in the settings.... ie 180seconds so that current widget can resample and update the readings.

however that said

Its PAINFULLY obvious that if you leave your radio's on... BT WIFI GPS etc... that your battery drain is going to be higher then normal.. so when you are not using them ... turn them off.. and your batt consumption should decrease.

either way.. like I said... .there is NO problem with the battery drain.. some users just jump to conclusions without knowing whats REALLY going on.

good feedback my friend

thanks

I did like you suggested

between the different setting I waited for 3-5 minutes

I can reproduce this issues again and again with fresh and old image

after a time battery consumtion reaches 140 mah

when i shut down BT and wifi and set it on immediately after,

the battery drain is ~ 10-12 mah with BT and wifi on

this isn't in 03_05

i tested it often , so I can be 100% sure, but dono what causes this issues

[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
UPDATE

@ ataf we've changed kernels since 0305 build.

wifi and bt and gps radios have improved dramatically.

gps is now way smoother then it used to be.

wifi connects SUPER SUPER fast when you turn it on.

bt quality to headset is much better.

hidden wifi networks can be seen.

so EVEN IF they are using more power now, i am willing to bet the consensus is that the current state is preferred over the previous. and yet again.. like I said.. improvements to the kernel SHOULD help with improving bat life, but you gotta be patient.

================

side note:

for those who want to know why the new kernel (the one that warren is working on right now) will improve bat life (among MANY MANY other improvements) please visit this link

one more thing to mention.. this is not just a minor update to the kernel btw. its going from 2.6.32 to 2.6.37 there were revisions in between also.

also. UPDATE first post changed - builds uploaded.

;) cheers:D

[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
well to keep the talk down to its MOST minimum about the whole thing:

we released a build. i went to sleep. i woke up. mccm had updated.

i waited a couple of days. released a build. went to sleep. i woke up. mccm had updated.

so

i asked them to diff his build against ours. too many things were the same.

so... story over. ;) thank the scotsman and EOL the issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
This was a result of something I've been complaining about forever.

mccm was ALWAYS ripping off our post-compiled builds and claiming he was actually doing something to enhance the builds, which was NEVER true unless it was an instance in which we forgot lets say....the gps library.

pretty ridiculous especially since when I *****ed about it, many members on this forum attacked me like I was inhibiting progress.

End of Story.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
ROFL :D

So he was just copying your build?

BTW, look up a few posts and on page 217, I posted the instructions for the HTC Sense theme. Sorry I wasn't able to PM you the files on page 217. :o
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
partially my fault as I asked the mods "let him be for now... he not hurting anything" but... only so much of that can go on before one starts feeling a tad bit ... used. and dirty used at that. (lol I prefer to come across my 'feeling dirty used' in other ways. lol)

either way. enough was enough. and that my friends is the bottom line. cause stone cold said so.

[HD2 Android SD Development] attractor:
I don't think it was right what happened to him in this case. As for myself I thank you very much for all your offerings but I trully consider his build better. More stable and with better battery life. At least this is my opinion.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
DUDE, his build was annoying. I couldn't get 3G for jack from it. However, it was pretty smooth and quick, but not to my liking. I prefer the 180 lcd offered by AmeriCanAndroid.

What world are you from, he was STEALING some elses work.

He got what he deserved.
[HD2 Android SD Development] attractor:
I don't want to go there. FYI
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
oh don't get them started on the whole "It's open source, your stealing from Google" rant, StarLog. I don't care for another round of that nonsense.

....because, your right StarLog. for exception of a THEME, there was no true originality or difference between the releases. he was simply stealing our compiled builds, slapping a theme on it, claiming to have developed fixes for problems, all with the intention of scoring some quick donation cash. And it's not just on our build, but pretty much every other dev's build on here.

shut up about that already. open source means open source, NOT open compiled code. LOL. BIIIIIIG diff my fellow xda'er. And I must point out that you must not be aware of the XDA rules and regulations, which I would suggest you read. anyone who knows anything knows mccm wasn't playing nice or in an educated fashion.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
Speaking of themes, remember his HTC Sense knockoff? I didn't understand how to even apply it.

Through my own searching, I have configured an HTC Sense theme for this build. Check the previous page and pg 217 to see it if you haven't. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] attractor:
I do not want to prolong that discussion. But:

Certain applications running on his platform would crash on AmericanDroid. Also the battery drainage is not the same. You already gave an explanation for the GPS issue so I will not linger on that. It may be the different kernel but there are differences.

I mean no disrespect. I admire all the work you put into it. I wish we could all get along.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
then you shouldn't have brought it up. instead, what you've done is the same as others, and slapped Copenhagen, other xda dev's, and myself in the face trying to establish mccm as a credible source.

i'm tired of it. it's an insult to the hard work of so many people on this site.

just because I can take another individuals compiled build, swap the zImage/modules out with another dev's, add a theme, and move files around(what a joke) doesn't mean I can justify releasing it and make claims that I've fixed things as a "developer." le sigh.

I have credibility on that too, because I used to be like mccm in regards to the old shubCRAFT builds. looking back at it, I was ridiculous and NOBODY should have taken me serious.

Since then, I've taken the time to LEARN the real inner workings, and because of that I have become a truly CREDIBLE source. the lack of respect that's been shown from people who really don't have ANY experience in Android development frustrates me. why is it so common for those which really have no idea about the behind the scenes stuff to defend mccm? if you don't know the behind the scenes stuff, please refrain from trying to justify mccm's actions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chn110:
So don't take him serious. Maybe one day he will grow up too!
[HD2 Android SD Development] crayola555:
Lol, scotsman doing work! Guy just closed the thread without a word. Though mccm does seem to have a history on this so I guess the mods weren't feeling any hesitation.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Hi guys - I did try to look for this...

two questions...I'm loading off of SD, not using Magldr.

1 - normally a new build runs you through setup, but this one didn't... was it supposed to? I copied the Android folder in with subordinate folders and it loaded nicely the first time. Kept it on and fiddled with entering in certain info. It eventually froze. I pulled the battery (don't like doing that, but the phone was hot too...). On restart, the phone was stuck on the green HTC.

2 - there is an update folder under the Android folder. For other builds, an update folder would be placed in the root directory and once the update runs, the folder disappears. Do I need to relocate this folder?

Thanks for your assistance. Until I couldn't get it to restart, I really liked the build...

[HD2 Android SD Development] pronor:
Hi first of all,

I appreciate your work very much, right now I´m going to install your 031011 build.

With the previous one I had issues with WiFi though I must admit I didn´t have timme to check all the solutions posted and suggested in this forum to repair it.

One thing I want to metion about MCCM. I´m using his

(FEB 14)[SD]MCCM HD V4.0 [DESIRE HD Sense] Perfect [kernel gauner1986's]

which is in fact - to me - the best SD/Maglar build i have tried so far. I´m not the only one stating that. Just everything working fine from the start, and the only build I tested so far with a working Setup wizard. In his credits for this one he mentions Gauner1986 for the Kernel, but nobody get credits for the build. I am a noob - but allow me this question: "where did he steal this one then?"

Anyway, looking forward to your releases especialy the comming one with all the drivers new by Warren.

Thank you. pronor

Test results

Hi all,

Thanks, for an awesome build that just gets better. Just giving results of my use of 3/10/11 Tmo build so far. Data.img was created 2/14/11. :P

1. Hidden Wifi networks now connecting :)

2. GPS works fine for me. I run GPS Test first(free from market) then run either maps or navigation.

3. Data still has drops without reconnecting but I think it is depending on the time I am in per say a tunnel when riding train to work. Simple disable of data under mobile networks and re-enable works fine to get reconnected. Although I experience same as a user posted before where if my bars are not green I have no data. I understand green means sync with google servers but even still that is only time I get data to work is if it turns green.

4. Wifi Tethering is working fine after reinstalling from Android apps folder and reinstalling binaries. Using it now to make this post.

5. MMS works fine as well tested sending one to myself after enabling wifi then disabling it previously posted in thread somewhere.

6. Battery drain will need to test further although I never really had a problem with it as I usually have my charger with me. I use LEDMEKNOW normally so will see difference with and without using it.

6. Just waiting for the AVRCP controls and hopefully WIFI calling to be added and I would be set. :)

Thanks again guys. Keep it up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
i believe he did steal that build too my friend. he's never shown any signs that he even KNOWS how to compile a build from source.

i've actually decided to go another direction with the kernel. this time, revising the .37 kernel for the hd2 ;) this means that it will be a REAL .37, not a backport.

[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
I have 9/3 build and pushed it to the limits. I was driving to my friend with online navigation (waze) turned on, to hear some music i lesen to the internet radio (TuneIn Radio) and didn want to be disturbed, i put on bluetooth stereo handsfree (Nokia BH-503) and i didnt plug in charger, so whole this lot runes only on battery. It was all warking during my 20 minutes drive, with only two radio stream drops both times reconnected ok within 20s or so, and with occasional gps loosing fix for 3 to 15s max. Great performance!

But in the end i switched off waze, turn off headset and then phone freezed and i should remove then battery, its the first time with AmeriocanAndroid ever happened to me and i'am using it from "Copes SD 013011".

Great work and big thanks to You all.

what a great fix...

Great, next time you post a "fix" please mention that you loose another feature (even if you dont happen to care about). Especially if the same outcome (having no LED at all) can be achieved by simply pluging in your phone for 1 sec and the charging info works out of the box anyway... :mad:

BTW, I also experienced batt drain with LED me know, always around 60mA when a notification is active...
[HD2 Android SD Development] otaku888:
It's not my fix and I'm just a user of this build. take it as you find it. if you don't like it, remove the file.

simply plugging in the charger as you say only works temporarily, but the fix I mention is a permanent solution to the led inconsistency.
