It comes back instantly for me. I am wondering whether your partitions are the cause. The Android folder needs to be in p1 primary, so if you have ext3 and swap then the Windows stuff would need to be p4.

Docent's FAQ will explain this better than ever I can.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I didn't say you used cheap cards.

This can happen with all cards. You may have a certain problem with one card and not have it with another card of the same type, same manufacturer.

There have been several people with wierd issues over the 400+ pages of this thread. Many of those problems that couldn't be solved by all the tricks we suggested later were found to be gone, when those people tried another sd card.

I know that using two partitions devides nicely between winmo and Android files and makes it look and feel a lot cleaner but it might aswell be the cause of your problem.

Reformat your card with only one partition and try again.

If that doesn't help, try another sd card.

I'm using a 16GB Sandisk class2 and I don't have that issue. Just checked.
[HD2 Android SD Development] maneken25:
I tried alot of sd android version, never had more then 16ma in average with only wifi on.

My advice would be put 2.15 radio version i found that it can have impact on sd android.

Second thing, in windows mobile put airplane mode on.

Third have installed some task killer app in android and every few hours manualy do task killing.

Also very important is to do few shutdowns of android after installing fresh one.

I hope it helps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iivuch:
Thanks guys - will try another unpartitioned card :)

Bug?

After reboot nothing works. All processes must be closed and the system will not boot up.

Any solution?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] yusufjee:
So after updating to the latest version, the battery is raining like no tomorrow. I will need to run some tests to see what is up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dirty k:
I've been having these same issues as well. Trying to switch out cards as well. Partitioned w the normal fat32 ext3 and linuxswap. Was very happy with the wakeup on the 0329 build. I know its not an issue with the build itself just very frustrated i am having this luck w the different cards i am trying.

On a related note. When i partition i do it w the 32kb cluster on the fat32. I may try the 64 to see if that helps any.

The green led alwas on...

Hello

This time I try many build "Android SD" and I like the Cyanogen Mod but all the build I test have the problem with green led who is always on !

I know, the FAQ said install led me know.

And the build who led me know is installed work fine, it's a good application but the permission is outrageous !!!

Is it possible to fix the led problem without led me know ?

Otherwise your ROM is fabulous.

plugging in to a charger will do it
[HD2 Android SD Development] Luke15153:
No need to run the LEDMEKNOW service all the time. Just start LEDMEKNOW, ensure that the service is running => LED will go off. Now you can disable LEDMEKNOW service.

Have to do this after a reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] diamond_cbr:
That's to easy :D

I'll test it :p

Thx

Led me known is a safe, well known application - stop worrying about permissions, seriously.

Wifi Wlan Signal/Connection (Standard German Fritz! Router)

Repost:

Thanks to all the great work but ...

using the most common wlan/wifi router here in Germany there are some connection issues experienced with these builds:

- incoming wifi signal strength is very very weak :confused:

- Fritz!App (phone over wlan) does connect to the router but there is no call in/call out

- ...

Since Fritz! AVM 7xxx are superior devices operating very close to the standard and all other systems can go with them I suspect that there are still some software issues here.

I know that I am not alone with this problem and would appreciate some feedback.

Haven't thought about that before... seems like the system permissions are the following. (according to http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-p0w4-ledmeknow-qitzp.aspx )

* android.permission.READ_CONTACTS

* android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

* com.google.android.gm.permission.READ_GMAIL

* com.fsck.k9.permission.READ_MESSAGES

* android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

I wonder what all that is needed for???

Of course this isn't Cope's or Warren's fault... but still worth knowing.

Maybe LEDMEKNOW won't have to be used when the new kernel comes??

@Warren... I use extended battery... will that work with the new kernel you think?? (currently it works)

EDIT: I found the "LED me know" application thread here at XDA and asked a question about the permissions... just in case anyone was interested --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12843440#post12843440

cope/warren/ anyone know the latest on the htc_ime keyboard and the error with it freezing? where you would have to go to languages and keyboard and kill it to get it working again? was this an app issue or CM or the build?

I got so fed up with killing it i went back to betterkeyboard for the time being, although i miss the functionality ime had :(

Ringtones and Notifications

My settings haven't changed and I'm still getting a variety of sounds for my various notifications, but in settings every notification sound or ringtone previews my current ringtone.

I've never seen/heard this before. Is anyone else getting the same?
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
dunno what causes this issue but it is not as bad as that I would want to change back to the orig keyb. It happens not very often and you know soon enough to just kill it and be back in under 3 sec...

Although I must say, it didn't happen to me since on APR07 build...

Just reinstall the apk for the htc keyboard. Its in the android apps folder of the downloaded build files

Stoopid noob question...

I'm an Android newb, and my only prior experience is with the T-Mo Comet, but how the heck do I configure an IMAP account in the Apr. 11 ROM? In the Add Accounts settings my only choices are Corporate, Facebook, and Gmail, and none of those worked...

Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
@Cope, thanks for all the effort.

Quick Q, is there a reason why you included TB in the ROM? I mean, does your script use anything related to it? I have the feeling the problems of restoring from Ext3 are related to it if the user has TB Pro in the Ext3 partition. The first app that shows FC after the reboot is TB.

I have yet to try it. And I could be totally wrong.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Email - settings button - Accounts - settings button - Add account

should do it - you may have to use manual configuration as mine wanted to use pop3 under the auto settings.

I saw your post my friend but did not quite understand the conclusion; are you suggesting to un-install TB Pro to remove it from Ext3 before a new ROM is installed?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Cerisal:
I am using the fritz box here without any problems. I sometimes have issues with my laptop connecting to wlan, but never had one using this great rom.

[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
In my opinion:

* android.permission.READ_CONTACTS - I guess it can differ between calls etc from contacts and others

* android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

* com.google.android.gm.permission.READ_GMAIL - Notify about Google Mails

* android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Disable greenlight after boot

* android.permission.READ_SMS - Notify about new SMS

* android.permission.VIBRATE - Notify through vibration

* android.permission.INTERNET - DK why but its used for network communication in general

* android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION - Hmm... etwork based location? Why?

* android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION - Same for GPS based one

* com.google.android.providers.gmail.permission.READ_GMAIL - lol see above

* com.android.email.permission.ACCESS_PROVIDER - no idea

* com.htc.android.mail.permission.READ_MAIL - notify about email

* com.htc.android.mail.permission.READ_ACCOUNT - probably to show details on where the mail came from?

* com.fsck.k9.permission.READ_MESSAGES - android/app notifications i think

* android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - probably backups or so?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
i use tb pro. Or at least have i it iinstalled. I have no issues. fc is solved by booting android with the fix perms script in ur android.folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
what are u trying to accomplish?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The conclusion is that you must be using Cope's version of busybox.

Check which version your TB pro is using as it is most likely 16.xxx - Cope's is 18.xxx

If you uninstall TB pro and install the version that comes with the build, you will get the correct version of busybox.

You can then reinstall TB Pro and it will use Cope's busybox

It's all to do with busybox
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Same here just without the notebook problems.

But even a Fritz Box needs a reboot from time to time. Might solve any problems one might have with wireless connections.
[HD2 Android SD Development] elecconnec:
Well duh! (Told you I was a noob!) Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm pretty sure the Settings - Accounts had an "Other" option on the Comet.

Long time WinMo user who hated 6.5- I resisted buying an HD2 because I loved 6.1 but hated 6.5 (Still can't believe MS ditched the "Recent Programs" menu going from 6.1 to 6.5!) I took the plunge on the HD2 because a friend told me that HD2 Android builds were stable enough to use daily, (and I'm too cheap to give up my T-Mo T-Zones data plan so buying a "real" T-Mo Android phone was out.)

Thanks again. Looking forward to the Android goodness!

[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Well, for some reason the fix permissions script is not fixing it; I even ran it manually from ROM Manager with no success.

It is still a mystery for me and I am installing and re-installing the ROM like crazy with different scenarios because I like the bkup2sdxt feature. Backup works fine but restore is still problematic for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Thanks a lot. I think your conclusion is worth trying. Will do and report later.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Ill give it a try and let you know, hopefully its sorted any issues :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
copy s/o asked what those permissions which led meknow uses are needed for. That's why I commented on those.

Found a strange issue:

YouTube is not in the Launcher but according to market it is installed.

Reinstalling it by clicking the apk in the system folder (dont know the exact path) leads to have it showing up and starting but I cannot hit the search button?

In previous release I got the same issue but there I did see the app from scratch and just had the search issue
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I'm getting FCs on a reboot on Swype and Earth. Both are solved by uninstall and restore from TB. Everything else appears unaffected.

Edit: well not quite everything else... I'm almost ashamed to mention it, but A***y B***s
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Had problems with YouTube, too. Reinstalling from Market didn't work.

Erasing it via Android settings didn't work either.

I had to erase it using a File manager. After that, installation from Marktet did work.

Had no problems with any other app. That's computers for you. They never let life get boring.

been running the latest build for a couple of days now.

still having the data drop problem. :(

and to boot ive noticed a new problem, i keep losing my network!! (no service)

ive noticed it three times already and the 4th is i type this. im waiting to see if it comes back. ive so far had to reset the phone.

anybody else experiencing this?

And its not only in just one area, its been in several areas far apart form each other.

my n82 shows anywhere from two bars to full bars in these areas while this build (or my phone specifically) shows no service.

i updated to this latest build from 4/10, am wondering if a clean install would solve the problem... *fingers crossed*

regards,

edit--- after a little more digging, noted that winmob also has no signal.. so its either the newtwork is farked or my phone is farked.

any report of t-mous hd2s having harware no reception problems?

I for my part have no drops bigger than two or three seconds using O2 Germany at both HSDPA and edge and when changing between both network types.

Here's my deal.

This is the first build I have ever had where sometimes when I turn off my screen it takes like from 20 seconds to 2 minutes to get to the lockscreen, it just stays black. This happens like 1 out of 10 times.

anyone else have this?

Hi,

Im located in Houston TX using Simple Mobile.

In my specific area, reception is a little spotty, so it hunts between H, 3G and E. Many a time, its drops down to E and it grays out and no more data. It doesnt reconnect again.

Occasionally, it does reconnect on its own, but ive seen that behavior a couple of times at most.

Frequently, when its in my pocket, i take it out and its just showing a gray E - no data and i have to force the reconnection.

Im using a stock T-Mobile HTC HD2 (t-mous hd2) with the latest stock winmob firmware. radio is 2.15.

Im using the standard hd2 AmeriCanDroid build as im using it with Simple Mobile. My phone is not sim unlocked (if that makes a difference). Simple Mobile runs off t-mobiles towers.

I appreciate al your hard work Cope and Warren, kindly take this as trouble shooting. Im certainly not complaining about one of the

nicest

things thats happened to my HD2. :)

regards,

asmd.

Restoring Apps & Settings using Bkup2sdext

OK folks, before I go to bed, please allow me to share with you the results of my extensive testing; here is what I did:

1) Starting with a good copy of the ROM running on my device, I formatted my Ext3 partition.

2) Shut down the device; it took some time but it did shut down.

3) Booted the device in Windows; ran Android.

4) With the full reboot, Bkup2sdxt should have kicked in and backed up my apps and settings to Ext3.

5) Un-installed TB Pro then rebooted the device again.

6) Checked content of Ext3 partition from Root Explore and verified that TB Pro was NOT present. Total size of space used was around 420 MB.

7) Booted in Windows; deleted the Android folder.

8) Installed the ROM from scratch with new data.img file of course; the only modifications I made were the resolution and camera files; I put them in a root folder so they will be merged into the ROM from the first install.

9) Shut down the device; it took some time but it did shut down.

4) Booted the device in Windows;

5) Ran Android; It took some time but it worked. Now, the restore should have kicked in.

Findings:

a) Out of over 150 apps I had, only 5 apps were NOT restored (Angry Birds was one of them).

b) No settings were restored (such as Twitter, Seesmic, Gmail, etc.) although the Ext3 partition did have a data folder with many relevant files in it.

c) Some apps refused to start (but most did) such as GO Launcher EX and Firefox; un-installing and re-installing the apps fixed the problem.

d) I re-installed TB Pro and restored the missing apps.

Hope the above was helpful.

From the browsers I have access to the SD card, but when I trying to move applications to the SD card or to view the status of storage, Android tells me that the SD card is not available.

Are you using a partitioned sd card with sd-ext partition for backup?

If the answer is yes, it's probably not working correctly and saving the wrong apn settings and restoring them at reboot.

Try without partitioning.

- 2. Go MArket, download SUPER MANAGER -> Run menu FILE MANAGER in SUPER MANAGER. - Allow Super User function ( It auto ask or you can find it in the PREFERENCE or OPTION menu. )''

- 3. Copy YOUTUBE App to /SYSTEMS/APP to OVERWRITE to OLD file.

Good luck and have fun ! :)

P/s : If you not use SUPER MANAGER, you can not Reinstall and Remove YOUTUBE because Android reconigze YOUTUBE as System App. ( Super Manager can access to System Files )

habib.... what is the date of the build you are using.

and just so you dont get everyone all needlessly confused.. here are MY findings

(I am using 041111 with a 16gb partitioned sdcard)

Findings:

a) I have 206 apps. ALL OF THEM were restored with 0 issues.

b) ALL my settings are restored. I can at ANY time delete my data.img

and by the time android boots for a 'first run' on a new data.img ALL my settings are restored.

c) 0 Apps refuse to start.... if they do (uninstalling them and reinstalling them from the market solves the issue - have tested this many many times in the past)

d) I have had titanium backup PRO installed since feb 16th-ish but dont honestly even remember the last time I used it...

so .. i have tried several times to help you now.. but am starting to get... slightly itchy now. clearly you are having problems.. but i fear you are headed in way too many directions in attempts to solve your problem.
