Haha, but I did specifically apologize to you with the update. :cool::D

But I never used the backup2sdext option because it didnt seem worth the extra hassle. I have been using Cope's build since 120 posts into the old thread and observed how effective some things were. I realized that re-using the data.img file works pretty well. Every now and then when a major release is out, I'll do a clean install with a format and everything. So for me, that's fine. The April 13th build was the build I actually did a clean install for.

I am going to upgrade to 0418 and see how my battery life goes... I also need to find docent's old post about resetting the values for the battery, or something of that nature.

P.S. I have the "battery drain" issue as well...

[HD2 Android SD Development] grandmaster_b:
* Battery life a lot better

* Faster than previous builds

* Data is dropping off constantly for me its the worst its been for a while.

I use T-Mobile UK and Orange for my data.

The Froyo 2.1 builds seem to be perfect for data so guessing it must be a GB thing for the drop outs ?

Thanks for your hard work guys great ROM.

Hello guys

I had a problem updating from 0407 build to 0418 build.

I stuck on black background green htc logo.

I never had a problem like this when updating to the newer build.

Im always using my old data.img

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Edit : Trying fresh install with a blank data.img, still stuck at htc logo :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] ottix:
I experienced a similar behaviour.

I had to format my SD using Linux.

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Format your SD card, redownload the build and try again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iamlegend2:
I just format my sdcard and restore my sdcard backup from 2 days ago..

Working good, im using 0418 now.. :D

cheers
[HD2 Android SD Development] deviljf:
Thx I will check..it was ready better after i booted for a third time but still a big drain. In the last two months this is new for me...the phone not sleeping and I have not installed any new programs lately. Regarding the pointing of finger my friend...I was merely reporting what I find so....so to keep the karma up...i will just say have a nice day :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
Can someone please tell me how to fixed the data drop problems on this build or can you give me a link to a fixed?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
you could always try a different build.

data in froyo works fine.

you could switch to an rmnet build and get slower data.

or if you insist....

i guess I could tell you how to fix data in the build and then leave it out for everyone else in the world including myself and the rest of the dev team?

good lord.

i wont bold and upsize the font for the following.. but pretend like i did....

YOU WILL GET THE SAME THING AS WE GET... IF AND WHEN WE 100% FIX ****, YOU WILL REAP THE REWARDS.

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE SOMETHING BETTER YOURSELF... BE OUR GUEST & WE WILL INCLUDE YOUR FIXED

UP ______ IN THE BUILD.

I hope this makes thigns a little more clear because I'm fraking sick of data comments.
[HD2 Android SD Development] otaku888:
Good day to you too. :) Sorry didn't mean to sound harsh, I mean check yourself before you assume it is the build. If you have evidence that is the build then report it. Otherwise battery drain means nothing.

One of your applications may have updated and changed its settings. Use battery usage stats after a full charge and discharge to check which application is the culprit.

Today I used my phone for various things and after 11 hours I still have 80% battery left. When I check battery stats and tap on the graph I see when my phone is asleep the awake information line is completely dark
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
LOL, Cope is trippin.

Hey man, have you been able to recreate the BT issue I typed about earlier? Don't know if you use a BT device or not. If so, how is the response time and any issues with pairing/sync? Anyway, thanks for the constant beta updates. Try and have a good day! :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
:) hehe

ill try my headset right now. gimme a sec
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
can't comment on the 18th build at this time (i know boo me) as last night I updated to an internal test build 041911... however I can tell you that

with the internal build from last night, bt headset is working as expected (avrcp is not working yet)

i did tho have to unpair and repair my headset to get it to connect the first time after I updated.

did you try that?

of worthy mention, warren updated the bt driver last night so perhaps that is having some bearing on my results today.

I wont be home till late late tonight, so I wont be able to upload the 19build till then.. but I will upload it tonight either way :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] see_u_then:
Cope, Would the 19th build have anything for wifi too? I mentioned it earlier that wifi with 802.1x authentication broke with Apr 18th build. Works fine with Apr 13th build or any other prior builds.

Thanks

How come that I can't get normal resolution? In previous versions I did it with no problem. Please look at it because I like your ROM and want to stick with it :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
Is there an rmnet version of your build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
No, there is not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
What are you doing to get that resolution?

Copying the root folder from the 240buildprop folder into your Android folder?

If that doesn't work, there is a way to do it manually.

I've described the procedure countless times. Search the thread, I'm getting tired of repeating myself every day.
[HD2 Android SD Development] eelpout:
I'm with you. Mine went from 90% to dead in 6 hours overnight last night on the 4/18 build. Scratching my head on that one. :confused:

Ironically, it could have been Juice Defender, which seems to be having issues lately (faling to shut down properly etc.). Something for sure isn't happy. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
That's cool bro. Take your time and upload at your leisure. Until you get on someone's payroll doing this, it's still a hobby. Hope everyone else remember's that. lol.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I've had battery issues before. There were always people at that time that had the same problems I had but also each time the mayority of users had none.

Every time that happened to me, I reformated my SD card and reinstalled the build with a fresh data image. Each time it solved my problems.

It seems to me, that it's never the build that causes the issues but something on our side. Our phones are little computers and computers do weird things. Something gets jumbled up or whatever.

With each build there are people that experience battery issues or connection issues, or force closes and other problems, that they had never had before. But always the mayority of users doesn't have those problems. A small part of those had problems with the build before but with the new build finally are happy because it's working perfectly for them.

That's why I think the installation process is the critical part. It could be something going wrongduring installation, some read/write error, it may be the old data.img that was used, although using the old image always worked before, it may be the restoring process of apps and data. Just something.

Starting fresh is the best thing you can do if that happens.
[HD2 Android SD Development] deviljf:
Thx for that nice response :D I have used my previous data image since that major update in March. I will try to do a fresh install and see if it solves the problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
if your having a Bluetooth reconnection issue(as in, it paired once fine but not autopairing as it should from then on), try setting your device to discoverable.

i found out in my carpc, with the latest test kernel that i have that i had to set the device to discoverable and blam connection occured. not sure why it's doing this, the carpc is actively seeking the device.

rolling some stuff back to see when this occured
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
Thanks for screaming in my ear, now i'm deaf.... LMAO

I don't want to try any other build cos this one is the best one. i'll just deal with it just like the rest. thanks....:D

After Cope's comment - I must leave my 2c worth :)

1. Bluetooth reconnection problem happens here as well.

2. Wake up from standby is not always good and screen stay blank

3. I won't mention the data problems

4. Very fast and stable build!

Screen Resolution

Hi all - just a reminder for those who have trouble using the 240 build prop solution to change the resolution to 240. You can download LCD Density from Market and it allows you to easily scale. So, you can choose (I think in increments of 20) to go higher than 180.

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thats my boy! No hard feelings. :-) if Cope was a school principal most students would run away. But the resilient ones would end up being geniuses.... :-)

See I always get caned whenever I ***** about battery drain. But do I run away? Never! You see if we all bootlicked Cope and Warren and refused to report bugs and other issues this Rom would not be what it is today . Thus we appreciate and are always grateful to these our heroes.

I rest my case. :-)

random reboots

Hi - first is anyone experiencing random reboots? Never experienced this prior to the 4/13 build. I loaded the 4/18 build and it's still happening. Phone does not reboot (unsolicited) in Winmo.

Does anyone know how to track what generates a reboot? Another request is for help searching on this one...restart and reboot appear in a LOT of threads...does anyone have any suggestions for rephrasing that search?

Appreciate the help. I was having trouble with my prior SD card, so this one is new. I formatted it prior to use, so I don't think that is causing this problem.

(Edit: I just looked at Zarathustrax's post about SD cards. I think I'll try reformatting the card inside my phone).

Take care, Kris

cool beans! :) i dont mean to sound... mean. i dont ever wish to come across as a jerk of some type.. cause that isnt me.. im a valentines baby.. make love not war.. lol either way.

as long as you understand that we are ACTIVELY ACTIVELY (yes double actively) working on fixing the MAJOR issues like data... avrcp... adhoc.... stupid graphics errors etc and know that when we make progress on those issues our userbase will literally be the first (aside from warren me and the few testers we have) to get your hands on it -- then we are all good :)

sorry again... didnt mean to come across as a jerk. and YES we know this build is a little bit of awesome (we dont want you to use another build either if you can help it ;) ) so the feeling is mutal :)

also... if you now need hearing aid re: all the screaming.. i realize im on the hook for it ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Assuming the new compile tonight goes well on Cope's end (I made some changes last night to give more capability akin to the cyanogen official leo tree), I've figured out the BT reconnect issue....though I had to roll back the 60mah power drain fix in order to get it back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
info from the users please :)

heres some info

i goto work....i stream audio from my pc to my phone then via bt to my car stereo all the way there (20 mins roughly) no issues no skipping... perfect.

I get to work... turn on wifi plug in my phone. a hour or so later.. its time for a fresh air break, and i go outside (away from wifi)... data kicks back in, I go to check my xda app or word with friends and BAM "network connection" error.

I toggle data off then on... and we are back in business.

(now the past three days with 0418 and 0419 ive only had to do this toggle 2 times ... not bad tho much better then before) BUT I still had to do it.

so you see.... I have to deal with it also.

NOW that said:

pre 0418 - compiled in with the build are the ril fixes that warren and I made back in feb.

on 0418 - those changes I left out.. just to test how the build would react without those ril changes.

So now I am putting the question to the users.

keep our ril changes in (so this means that data dropping was worse for you in the 18th build then before)

OR

keep our changes out (which means that the 18th build has had the least amount of reconnect problems then any previous ACA build)

keep your answers simple.

-keep your ril changes

-leave them out

-edit: (i guess there could always be a ) no change (reply)

i need to find an average answer so I am asking you all :)

please take a few seconds to let us know which has been better for you.

(there is no wrong/right answer here ..no one will eat your cat) hahahaROFL

well... maybe Docent will... they have a thing with eating cats in Poland.

JKJJJKJKJKJKJ they do not. lol sorry Docent I couldnt resist

p.s. a running tally like we did a while back for how many users would work good here.

-keep changes in 0

-keep changes out 0

-no change/undecided 0

for me... i am actually undecided as of this time, like I said the past 2 days ive had to only toggle my data twice. once pre 18 and once on 18th. I havnt enough

data

(harhar) to make a logical decision. so ill start.

-keep changes in 0

-keep changes out 0

No real change that I've noticed. But then I've never had a lot of data drops anyway. Possibly un-noticed because I have to regularly reboot my phone because my exchange mail accounts (I use 2) stop syncing. I mentioned this in a post a couple of hundred pages back but now I've tracked it to this issue:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14466

...so ACA isn't to blame.

[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
I was not able to test it right yet but for me I have the feeling as if it would most likely not reconnect again after data drop. I have to restart data by disabling and reenabling.

Behavior as without any work on data stability.

At this point I vote for leaving the stability changes from past in this build.

Cope and me are currently working on a new wireless driver. (Or to be serious on a modified one)

If we get our goal this will change whole wifi driver so eighter drop this bug in again or leave it out.

Until it's ready it's up to cope how he decides.

I'm at build 041811 right now. seems to work pretty good. No weird things at the moment, battery looks like it drains not too much, but did not 'really' test it yet.

Only thing I noticed is the following. I wanted to download a xda app. On the website there was that QR code. It mentioned to use Google Goggles to take a pic and use it. But when I start Goggle I see a short time the cam and then it crashes. The app is not movable to SD-card, as this is the solution for many apps if they crash. Not a big deal for me, but just to mention it.

I use tweetdeck and take pics for tweeting and that works, so the cam seems to work.

Cope keep up the positive thoughts, good job and keep going :) excellent so far.

I have added all the previous counts below, please continue the count the way we did it when we where counting the number of ACA users, everybody copy the below and add his preference, this way we make it a lot easier for cope...

okay guys. here it is.. its late so this is all ive got for ya till tomorrow

but.

warren made a whole shack of changes in our git just what.. ill collect exact changelog from him tom and post when i have a break at work.

i left the ril changes out.. but adjusted a sleep timer I found that was set to 30 seconds wait before reconnect. i changed it to 10 sec. its a small change but a change none the less.

re: tie between leave in and undecided. i choose leave out a little while longer for testing. (this is the most logical way to go if you really think about it)

the kernel. all updates have been left in EXCEPT the 60 mAh drain fix has been removed.

it was causing a pairing problem

with various bt wireless devices.

(warrens gonna see if he can work around it and get the best of both worlds rockin for us soon) SO DONT COMPLAIN ... bt connectivity over bat drain. (we've lived this long with bat drain we can go a little longer)

i havnt tested this build much.. but it should be spot on par with / if not better then the last.

also.. ;) new dl link for you.

I just tried the DL link. Not sure if my download was truncated but there looks like there are a few files missing? (shows how much I know about what's supposed to be in the android folder). Navigated to the folder first on my phone and tried to run the clrad/haret startup but got an error:Failed to load the file \Storage Card\Android\zImage. Looks like the Kernel is missing? Then it occurred to me that the file "count" looked lower.
