htc_ime keyboard bug

yup, same here, no particular pattern, it just gradually stops working.

First you dont see the highlighted letter anymore, or as you point out the selection space, and if you sit there and just continue, eventually the whole keyboard will disappear.

Killing the keyboard helps and can be done even when the whole keyboard is gone (the menu is also just a black screen then). The settings button is on the bottom left, about 0.8 cm from left edge. Once pressed you just flick the finger from bottom to top to be at the end of the settings menu where it would say "Kill keyboard". Press there and your keyboard is back.

Of course this only works when you have settings on that lower left button and not voice search (as it is per default I believe), then you would have to long press that button and then move your finger up 0.5cm to hit "settings"... :D

I use WiFi and my email works just fine without any additional apps. I get notifications and can either access it from there or from the launcher, which actually looks a bit similar to the old Sense tab slider, with what I have on it :)

What made you yhink there was a download link in post 3731. Did you read what it said?

There is a working download link on page 1 for 26/3/11 build and previous builds. At the time of writing 26/3/11 is the latest build.

Post 3731 explains why 29/3 has not been uploaded.

What is there not to understand?

Found cause of 60mA and now have 4mA-7mA

For all those suffering from high current drain, I've managed to track it down to the location via wireless networks setting. With this on my system toggles between 245MhZ and 998MHz constantly. (Seen in SetCPU, the stats also show that approximately 50% of time is at 245 or 998). By selecting the conservative governor the the speed is kept to mostly 245MHz, however the phone rarely sleeps, WiFi is frequently on for long periods and Battery Monitor Widget reports typical current draw of 60mA when the phone screen is off and I'm not using it at all. By disabling the location via wireless networks I've had 4-6mA draw for the last 12 hours and only lost 8% charge. Sure enough as soon as I enable location via wireless networks I'm back to a constant 60mA drain and the charge level falls like a brick. Location off again and I'm back to sensible current drains.

I'm an experienced embedded s/w engineer but have zero Android dev experience so I may be WAY off line with this but it seems to me one of the following is occurring.

1) The location service is being called very frequently and therefore keeping the phone awake. The phone never sleeps for more than a few minutes and some times is awake for long periods when the screen is off.

2) The data drops are causing the anonymous communication that takes place with Google, whenever the location is determined, to get stuck in a loop and keep the phone alive. I've noticed that the Wi-fi remains active for long periods even when the screen is off too even though I've got it to turn off when the screen.

With the location via wireless networks service off the wifi turns off with the screen and the phone rarely wakes while the screen is off. If it does wake it is very brief and sleep resumes. (I'm using the battery view usage chart to determine the Wi-fi, Awake, Screen on status)

Perhaps others with high current drain could disable the location service and confirm if their battery drain returns to a normal level while the screen is off.

Should help the Devs track down what is going wrong with the frequency / retrys policy or other fault with the location via wireless networks service.

I think you are really on the mark there with that statement. Sense, overall, has a lot of overhead. I went from a Desire rom to this one and just memory alone, I get 40 more megs free at any given time.

But the HTC Sense had some really good widgets. Their music, email, sms, and calendar widgets were awesome and I still miss em. Now I just use launchr pro's swipe actions to access them just as easily albeit sans the displayed info.

Excuse the stupid noob question but I have done a lot of reading and I am still not sure. I have a US T-Mobile that is unlocked and I am on AT&T. Which version do I use?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ptrics:
Read first post and FAQ, it says t-mous edition its only for those in t-mobile, all other unlocked devices must use standard (like me :) )
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
I'm testing out the latest build now.

So far, so good. Waiting for confirmation from Copenhagen as to if the non-TMo edition is good to go or if it's still needing a perm fix.

If I get the signal, I'll release both builds today. :)

i'm new to this and i'm happy that i was able to set up the wp7/android dual boot with your gingerbread build. of course i want to update to tha latest version, but i can't find any info how to perform a rom update with dual boot. do i have to format the whole fat32 partition on the sd again, or is it enough to delete the android folder and create a new one with the new build?

i would be very thankful for a link to a tutorial. thanks!

If you have issues and you ask a question here without reading the FAQ or searching this thread... you will be labeled a retard and shown a link to apple.com/iPhone.

You should read every post in this thread before anything but... baby steps.

Next time time you start typing a question. Copy and paste it into the search this thread box instead if the reply box.

And don't start off by apologizing if your question has been answered in this thread or FAQ then proceed to ask that question. That is beyond retarded. Don't apologize... RTFFAQ or my favorite STFT (search the fcking thread).

In other news, docent, you think we should add that tip about connecting with SSH/servers that you applied to someone else's issue?

[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
we make it easy these days. in fact, I've upgraded to our latest build from our 2/16 build without formatting the sd-ext partition or removing my data.img. this is VERY counter-intuitive to my normal method on here, though Copenhagen is testing with a fresh data.img(seems he and i switched methods this time LOL).

i believe that stuff's pretty smooth. everything that's been changed this time is rom-side, and it stabilizes the flow of data and reintroduces the dalvik cache to the partition. voice search SHOULD be back. things seem stable on my end.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prinzipal:
sounds good. do i understand right, that i just have to replace/overwrite all contents of the android folder and keep the data.img.

Hey COPE,

Remember when I said "LET'S HOPE 3.0 Get ported to smatphones? "

DING DING DING.....WE HAVE A WINNER :D

http://www.ppcgeeks.com/2011/02/19/honeycomb-ported-to-3-htc-devices-evo-incredible-and-desire-hd/

it's still in beta and SLOWWW and LAGGY, but as usual, a few month of development and tweaking, hopefully it will be running as smooth as Ginger.

Hope CM team will get on it and things get smoothly flowing :)

Sorry for going off topic, just had to share :)

Alright, moving on gents...

docent, cope, or anyone else:

In reference to the ext3 partition instructions on the FAQ page, it does not apply to peeps that have WP7 installed to NAND.

Does anyone know how to do it if your dual-booting WP7 and Android?

Partition managers throw up an error when trying to create 4 primary partitions...
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
This is good news. I'm excited. I couldn't watch the videos for some reason. I get an error complaining about HTML 5 video.

I can only imagine having honeycomb on my HD2. I still haven't even tried windows mobile 7 yet. This build is so fast I'm worried my expectations will be too high.

Nzx, I know a couple people on this thread.got it to work. I would try searching for the keywords in your question. At the very least it'll show you the users that got it to work and you can ask them. But um pretty certain imthose two play nice together with this build. How you liking WP7 anyway?

Sent from my Gingerbreaded HD2...
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Lol, we think alike :P

Quoted from Docent by PM(I hope you don't mind, just so that people don't repeat same quesitons)

"That is not gonna work. As for now - as I said - Android is using 2nd and 3rd partitiond (extra). With this set you've already has 2 partitions and next will be 3rd and 4th.

No can do..."

In simple terms, If you already HAVE NAND and SD Build, No way can you parition further more for Android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Wait is he talking about having two Androids and WP7? Or just one of each?

Sent from my Gingerbreaded HD2...
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
When you have WP7 and SD build, your SD card already has 2 partitions.

Android works better with 3 partitions (fat 32, swap, and ext2).

So if you have as above, you'll have 4 partitions, which doesn't work for android (that's my basic understanding, Docent can go further with the scientific facts).

1-WP7

2-Fat32

3-ext2

4-Swap

So No, it won't work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
bteljuice is right. As for now this build makes exact refferences do mmcblk0p2 and mmcblk0p3 partitions.

I cannot speak for creators, it can be changed but for now - not gonna happend.

Solution? Do not use extra partitions with W7 AND this build.

UPDATE

first post updated to reflect changes

in next build. the color banding fix brought to me by one of our fantastic users peramikic here. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12509220&postcount=3692

it is a tad unclear in the fixes post who originally found and posted about it, tytung or iamgpc. It looks like tytung may have found and posted small snippets here and there on how to make the change, but it was iamgpc that posted a clear and presice how to. not wanting to discuss furthur who did what and who blahbiddy bloo, i shall thank them both, and compile the next build with that fix included. ;)

so. that is whats on the dockette for next release... and i guess anything that comes up with this one. however, i do think, you are gonna be happy with this one ;) (032911)

I'm going to try the "don't use wifi for locations" fix for the battery to see if that helps. Looking at my current widget log showed odd battery usage when it should have been sleeping...

Thanks for the shoutout, Cope. Hate to burst my own bubble but I have done some testing with the updated .so file that tytung, posted, but i dont see much change, Xda app still shows banding. It is probably better to apply change to the compile config, maybe even to the ccp like iamgcp did.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
Keep the feedback coming everyone. All sounds pretty great. I've pretty much resolved to the fact that this build is the best in overall design and stability (save the minor data issue the development team has been working on). At times, due to my frustration, I ventured to try other builds floating around but always ended up coming back to this one. I would trade up for "moderately" stable data connection but maybe 20 other things that just didn't quite work right.

After having this build since COPE started it, I've come to be spoiled by it's overall stability, response and speed. Lots of builds claim speed but that all seems pretty subjective and at times, inaccurate. I know you guys probably won't keep this up forever but this is definitely helping me make the decision of keeping my HD2 until the next gen lineup of dual core cell phones come to play. I've decided to cope with the monetary random data drops for now until you all get closer to it's mastery.

With that said, has anyone noticed an increase in data stability with this new build? And before you resign to saying "yes yes yes" give it a few hours of tinkering then get back to me on that, haha.

Thanks COPE, DOCENT and the rest of the dev team.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:

FC, persmissions, UID and PPP stability

Can somebody explain my why I have FC problems because of bad permissions on every update or sometime also after restart? This is part of Android which I still don't understand. I know that Android use different UID for every app and .apk and right folder in /data/data/ should have the same UID and right to access only for the one UID. But apps and data ares stored in data.img. Why UID was change during upgrade?

And when I run fix_permissions from adb shell it every time fix anything. I can run several time per day and it always fix anything (especially cache items). Not only permission but also UID. I don't understand how UID can change after install :-(

Next big problem is stability of PPP. The problem is especially in metro (subway) in Prague where is only EDGE and no signal between station. When signal lost in tunnel and I arrive to next station Internet connection doesn't work every time. I must turn off and turn off data connection, then all works good, but the same in next station. Is impossible to read any news (I must load whole article during time in the station). But on the ground where is 3G network I don't have this problem. So maybe only on EDGE or maybe only when signal is completely lost which doesn't happen on the ground.

Letama fix this problem on 2.2. builds and I doesn't have problem with PPP stability after that. Is possible use the same fix for 2.3 build?

Except this two problems is this build fantastic. I used Sense build before and after few weeks on this build I think that I don't need Sense anymore.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
@ATomCZ

>Can somebody explain my why I have FC problems because of bad permissions on every update

(are you following the update instructions in the FIRST POST.. cause if you are.. then you should not be having FC problems.)

>or sometime also after restart?

this i donno.. i dont have this problem. but i dont run fix permissions ever, except when i suggest to during an update proceedure. (first post)

>Why UID was change during upgrade?

i believe it is due to updates/changes in apps contained in /system/app/

>And when I run fix_permissions from adb shell it every time fix anything. I can run several time per day and it always fix anything (especially cache items). Not only permission but also UID.

dont run fix permissions all the time. just leave things alone after they are installed and working correctly.

hi man,

I am using 03/29 standard version, it works well but the lock screen and call key pad screen is not fullscreen..

Please show me how to fix it.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] azazellov:
I just wanted to post my first impression for the 03/29 build.

First this build is much smoother. The increase in speed is really noticeable.

Everything runs better, launching apps, apps themselves, the interface, etc.

Data seems better but I have to test it some more.

The lock screen graphic missing doesn't bother me a bit, I just use the other styles.

Anyway I know it's related to CM7.

One question, is this update using CM7 RC4 that came out today?

Thanks a lot, this build is getting nicer and nicer.
