5 days in winmo? Are you suing the extended battery?

My HD2 didn't last much longer in winmo than it does now in android.

Usually I'm down to about 50% when I go to bed. Not enough to make it savely through the next day. That's why I charge it over night.

It was the same, when I was still using winmo and I probably use my phone more often since I'm having android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
If you are using the SD version:

On PC unzip the Lib, you get 2 folders one is system.

On SD in windows mobile in Android folder create root folder, copy to it the system folder. You get on SD:

Android>root>system>.......the lib

Boot Android you have the library installed
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I take a different approach, but agree that a daily charge should be expected. I know that I will lose maybe 2% overnight, so no charging then. During the day, if there's a charger available, I'll plug it in...

Swyped from my aHD2oid
[HD2 Android SD Development] mgw_atom:
No, I don't use an extended battery. But I bought my HD2 only when WinMo was already known too be dead soon: last October (or was it August?), so the battery is not too old. And it does last 3 - 5 days. With ACA it does not even last 24 h, even when the phone is idle all the time.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
I got mine in november last year. My battery has never lasted close to that long. I think it has more to do with how and how often people use their phones. I've never had a phone that lasted more than a day. And I mean 12, not 24, hours. But my phone is typically glued to my hand. With aca, my battery lasts anywhere from 10-20 hours.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
What version are you using? MagLDR or cLK? With cLk you can install the libraries very easily. There is an option In Clockworkmod that allows you to install updates and that is the option that you need to use.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
Same here. I stopped worrying about battery life to the point that i uninstalled battery monitor widget. I have a charter in the car if I need to and when I go to bed I plug it in. I have twitter updates going on, my work account doing push and gmail. And I am a sucker for GPS.
[HD2 Android SD Development] backlashsid:
the MAGLDR version !
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I bought my phone almost 1 year ago. It was brand new then. I used it with winmo for about 3months before I started to play with android. So my experience with winmo and how long the battery will last with it are from a time when my battery was new.

That can't be the reason why your experience is so different from mine and the others that answered your post.

Without any unusual drain and medium use your phone should last about 24hours straight. Working hours that is, plus one night in between. In winmo it shouldn't be much longer than that, at least not 4-5 times that long, when you use it the same way.

Whatever, if winmo works that much better for you and you don't miss anything you only get with android, go back to winmo. It's not like winmo is a bad choice.

[HD2 Android SD Development] SnakyTheToops:
Thanks ! Yes, I use a SD version of latest ACA.

I followed your instructions. The root folder was renamed .root after boot. Apparently, the new libraries are installed. How/where can I check the versions to be sure ?

Testing outdoor with Google Maps : first fix in.... 3 secs.... I will test iGO8 during this day (with some sausages and barbecue sauce ? I hope not ;))

Battery drain

I have another question on this issue:

Is battery drain related to the network band?

I used to be on a 900Mhz network and few weeks ago I moved to a 2100Mhz network. Is higher band networks consumes more battery power than lower ones?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
If you put in root the correct version and it became .root after boot you are OK

how to install libraries using the magldr version ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Ok well this ie a dumb question. I accidently deleted the middle dock button for opening up all my apps and now have no access to them. How in the world do I put it back on there??
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
Lol I've done that.

Long press on the home screen. Pick launcher activities, pick the dock. Now drag it to the bottom

Once again how to install libraries using the magldr version ?

I am looking to install the audio library submitted recently by a user for clear in call audio !! any help ??:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
you are in the wrong thread mate, go here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Why? Magldr doesn't mean he is not using the SD build. He's not talking about NAND.
[HD2 Android SD Development] backlashsid:
actually I am !! thanks btw !

i am using the magldr version on the first page of this post !

idk if that makes a difference ?? i didnt see the NAND development thread b4
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Well, the difference is, that the devs decided to have an extra thread for the NAND build and questions concerning NAND should be asked there, whereas questions concerning the SD build should be posted here in this thread.

Having NAND and SD questions in one thread would be just too much since most people can't be bothered to state what build they are using, when they post their questions and answers may be different depending on what build is used.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ptrics:
what I do its press and hold some where in screen (where Theres free space) wait till menu pop up, launcher actions, open and close apps list, and now just drag the icon to middle of dock bar......

Hope it helps

thanks a lot for the new update.

after countless tries and a lot of wasting time to get a version with low Power Consumption, like the most of the member here, i'm getting Desperate from it.

i can't bring my device to be more then 50 ma when the device is sleeping and while the device is awake i get 180-750 ma...!:(

my request now is that someone here who success to achieve a low Power Consumption while the device is sleeping and also while it's awake will kindly share his data file with me and give me his link to good data file, becouse i suspect that maybe i'm doing somthing wrong ivn the settings or that some of my program cause the problem...:confused:

my bl is off and i used setcpu as described in this forum and so on tries and tries:

1. i installed setcpu and task killer (i hope i configure it correctly) ;

2. i replaced my radio to 2.12... ;

3. i formated my sd card and tried again;

4. i installed battery calibration tool and followed all the instructions;

5. i tried to start with new data without installing anyting and again...

6. the problem is in every new aca version since i started to try it 7 months ago;

and still it didn't help...

i get 50-250 ma when screen is off and lot more when the screen is on (150-750 ma).

that why i just want to check my device with well known data file and see if my results are improving.:o
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Many people advice against using Task Killer...

There is most likely an application you have that has gone amok...

If everything else fail you could try changing your winmo rom.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Cope & Warren; Thank you for the new build!!! Can't help but assume it'll be even better. :)

Was away for a few days w/relatives. Took an 80 mi. trip, about an hour and 40 min., w/traffic (NY/LI), using GPS, build 8/17 w/Tytung's 2.0 libraries installed. HD2, in HTC leather case was mounted on dash and plugged into charger. Used Google Maps/Navigation w/TTS. Nice. Never faltered or failed me. Device, after a while was very hot to the touch, but I had no issues with it. CyanogenMod CPU performance settings were (my default) Interactive Governor... CPU Max 921 MHz, Min 537 MHz.

I think that's underclocked enough. Personally (unless at rest or charging) I don't think it helps the device to run any slower. I think performance issues arise when this type of CPU is run too slowly. SetCPU overrides CyanogenMods performance settings... and sometimes I'll run it full at 998 MHz.

I've experimented with profiles that slow the CPU to 245 or 128 under certain conditions - but any real responsiveness at those speeds is non-existent. I've come to not let it run slower than 537 MHz under any condition. So far, so good.

I'm not reco'ing what I do to anyone else - just relating my recent experiences w/GPS after reading some have problems w/it... a few pages back.

Hurricane Irene wasn't much of a problem for me personally (although my area was in the path of it as it traversed NY). I had three relatives who evacuated their home to stay at my small place. I thought THAT would be a bigger disaster (for me) than the hurricane. Neither was as bad as I thought. Hope all of y'all made out OK too.

Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] yitk:
1. i used task killer only once.

2. i'm starting anytime with a new and refresh data file and i dont install any prog accept setcpu and battery monitor, and still my results are the same.

3. i replaced my winmo rom several times, and no help...

now i use cleanex rom.

and i return to my request :

that someone with well known device that has minimum battery drain will share his data file with me and upload it to any upload site.

Thanks in advance

[HD2 Android SD Development] calvin_germany:
Check my comment #15543.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Disregard my PM, if your problem is there since 7 months I would suggest you try another SD card. I also have bad drains on the first few AUG builds, but if you never had good drain and you changed wm ROM and radio and tried with a new data.img (no app going wild), I really think its the SD card. Or SIM as someone suggested earlier, but I think he might got lucky there, swap SD card is definately a better choice.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
oops a new version, I had just updated from 0715 to 0817 and had to do a titanium restore as it wouldn't boot with the old data.img, hope it's ok this time!

The drain was terrible with 0715 (around 100mA) and had improved with 0817 based on my limited time with it at around 30mA.

Has anyone switched to the NAND version to see if the drain was better? I'm currently running dual WP7/Android but since I never use WP7 might as well go the NAND way!
[HD2 Android SD Development] huepfer:
Internet on = 7-10 ma

Internet off = 50 - 60 ma

I don't know why but turning off the mobile internet connection adds 50 ma to the power consumption. My 2 cents regarding drain...
[HD2 Android SD Development] yitk:
thank you for the responds.

i'd also like to know what is normal-good-low battery usage when the device is awake and working. (in screen off i know it should be 2-8 ma, but i dont know in wake mode what it should be).
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
How are you launching Android? When I still had WinMO, I had the same problem until I installed Excellor bootloader, set Android to start automatically and a delay of only 3 seconds. Starting Android before all the things in WinMO started seemed to help. Also if you're going to do that then you could disable Sense and leave it in flight mode in WinMO. I did all this and never had to wait and let the build "settle" as some suggest. Idle power drain would go straight down to 5-6mA. I STILL have the same data.img that I had at the start of this thread in February.

Of course, now I have MAGLDR booting ACA SD, so none of the above affects me any more.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JHimmelbauer:
0828 build looks good - the only thing (on my device) since the build 0817 is, the first boot must be with 167 lcd density, if I do the first boot with 240, remains the boot process after the boot animation in a loop hanging. After the first boot with 167, 240 density works fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
it all depends on individual settings but my device consumes approx.:

- 100 mA using book reader at night (lower screen brightness), data connection active but unused

- 300 mA while watching movies at daytime

- 500 mA while using internet at daytime

i installed this android on my hd2 but everything is little dockbar is too small and lockscreen is small
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Hi, normally, reboot will help you with little lockscreen.

Always reboot once or twice at least ;-)

Edit : Update done : smotth. Same working and 2 issues (not blocking) : when switching data on, disconnect from network and again (but not a pb , just seeing it); and seems my contacts are not syncing with my BT incar device.

The rest is still very good : 5/8mAh after 2 reboots, that's good !
[HD2 Android SD Development] dyval:
I hope everyone is ok my friend, your families and friends.
[HD2 Android SD Development] maneken25:
You need to change lcd density to higher number if you wanna have biggee fonts, dock, lockscreen etc.

Here is instruction from first page:

-Starting with 080111 and later, users can edit /sdcard/android/startup.txt prior to booting to adjust LCD_DENSITY, GPS_ZONE, and DATA_SIZE (data.img)

(ie: the default lcd_density of ACA is 167. Edit the lcd_density= value to 240 to get standard sized icons and fonts)
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Hi,

I found the solution for my contact BT sync : since latest builds (don't know wich kernel version (Android or Linux)), when prompted to accept contact transfer through pop up, you have to... 'CAncel' ! After second cancel and less than a minute with 650 contacts, evrything is back !!!!

Good to know for those with BT Contact sync issues... maybe 2.3.4 ou 2.3.5... As nothing wirtten in the first post ;-)

I'm a double happy guy today, thanks cope, Warren and everyone making this build/device so exiting !

Internal Storage Memory

I was adding apps from the Amazon Android daily free app, and started getting memory full. I thought it was my SD card (since Android is running on the SD card), but I have 3 Gig available.

So, my guess is that Android allocated 1 Gig to run in, and the remainder is considered the SD card. Does anyone know how this allocation works? Is it folders or the data.img and certain other files?

I moved a lot of my apps to the SD card, but I think I should have more available space (right now I have 173 MB available internal storage memory).

I searched this thread for ways to increase available internal storage, but I keep getting posts about battery life.

I'd like to know more than just what to do, I'd like to know how the internal and external memory is allocated/defined/partitioned, etc.

Thanks

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Your apps and data are stored on the SD card within the file data.img

By default this is set to 1GB, but you can increase it to 2GB by editing the startup.txt

You can also move your apps to the SD card using settings>applications>manage apllications when they will be found in the folder .android_secure. Not all apps will work from SD card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
So none of the folders on the SD card are part of the internal storage?

I moved most of the apps I thought would be OK to the SD card. I was hoping I could do more to free up some more memory.

I will look at increasing the size.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The internal storage is not used with an SD build

The system partition is system.ext2

The data partition is data.img

Both are files in the Android folder.

You can easily increase the size of your existing data.img here

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
That has to be a ****load of apps you've got on your phone.

I still have about 400MB of free space in my 1GB data.img and I always thought I had way more apps then I could ever use.

Maybe instead of trying to free more space or increase the size of your data.img you should have a closer look at your apps and get rid of those you won't use anyway.

Audio Loss

Anyone still seeing no audio after connect/disconnect with bt?

I've updated to 28-aug build and lost all audio, notification, ring, etc. but only after I connected my headset. (and no, it wasnt playing through the headset).

I tried calling a phone number, moving it to speaker and back, no change.

I tried setting the phone to silent, then back, no change.

Just curious
