Thank you for your reply, and for cautioning me. I have checked the free space in the data.img and at the moment there is actually no reason to extend its size.

As for the batterystats file, I was hoping that the reading of the battery status is wrong on my device as the battery drain is horrendous compared to WinMo, that's all. I have used ES File Explorer to open data.img but even though I have granted it root access it's keeping asking me whether to open the file as text or video or image. I don't beleive that any of this would do, so I asked which tool to use.

I know that others have been mentioning a high battery drain on their devices, but then again others are quite happy with theirs. I have read a lot of pages (and I mean *a lot*) in this thread. Some of the reasons mentioned for high battery drain were Bluetooth use, old/lame SD card, old SIM card (around 10 years). My SD card is a brand-new class 10 ADATA card, my SIM is barely 3 years old, so these can be ruled out I guess. I have tried SetCPU with a Screen-off profile as well, but this didn't help either. And I have never used Bluethooth on Android yet.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mgw_atom:
Thank you! Let's hope it helps...
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
there could be one more possibility, ie. one of the apps unnecessary draining your battery, would it be the case, finding which one is rather time-consuming, anyway, you could try using either/all of BetterBatteryStats, Power Tutor, Watchdog for monitoring power/CPU usage and Autorun Manager to disable selectively/completely disable autostart of selected apps, either after boot (free version) or depending on specific system events (donate version),

basically you could cut all background apps to bare minimum, disable all sync and data/BT/GPS receivers and check the drain then
[HD2 Android SD Development] mgw_atom:
Thank you, have just installed BetterBatteryStats and Autorun Manager. Let's see what they can accomplish (after I have found the time to test them). Also, on another forum member's suggestion installed and set 2x Battery. Not sure yet what the result will be. Guess I will find out in the next few days and report back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You can't open the data.img file with ES file explorer, like a text file.

It looks like an image file on your sd card, in fact it is one, but to your phone this file is the system itself. Since this is a SD build, the system is not located on the internal memory of your phone but in this image on your SD card.

If you want to look inside that file and you are using ES file explorer, click on the little SD icon in the upper left corner. It will turn into the icon of a little house. Now you are looking at what is inside the data.img:your phones system:ACA

Be careful what you do in there. You can't brick your phone but doing the wrong thing can still lead to an unusable system and you'll have to do a fesh install.

This may be one of those situations where I'm entirely off-base and letting my ignorance show... but I always thought (after copying files) one was supposed to turn-off USB storage on the device, before removing the drive from the PC.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It won't make a lot of difference. USB to PC for SD builds has been broken since 2.3.4 was introduced. Use WiFi Explorer or boot into Winmo or use card reader as workarounds.

The on screen message states "Before turning off USB storage, make sure that you have unmounted ("ejected") your Android's SD card from your computer."

Then turn off USB storage on the device, before removing the cable.

Google fixes security vulnerabilities introduced Android 2.3.6 version

Time: 2011-09-05 16:17:47

Popularity:

While many Android mobile phone users can not upgrade Android 2.3 tangled, Google has launched Android 2.3.6, and can enjoy this treatment is still its own son Nexus S (Samsung i9020). Just last weekend, has Samsung i9020 users began to receive official notification of upgrades. It is understood that the release of new version fixes a security vulnerability voice both search and content.

Prior to this, 4G version of the Nexus S has been able to upgrade to the Android 2.3.5, while the ordinary version of the latest ROM is still 2.3.4. Android 2.3.5 Nexus S Skip directly to upgrade to 2.3.6 now be able to upgrade by OTA Samsung i9020 notice only a model (and only i9020A).

In addition to OTA updates, but do not want to wait until the upgrade as soon as possible to inform the students can experience the new ROM to download updates to install. It is understood, Nexus S contains a total of two models, namely Samsung i9020 Samsung i9023. Samsung i9023 neither of which receive the upgrade notification, there is no download available for the exclusive official ROM.

Forum has been a lot of non-i9020A users of the Nexus S Brush test, I also remind you here, Brush risk trying to be cautious. Currently users of non-i9020A brush into the Android 2.3.6 has a known Bug: can not use Unicom 3G network, the message sent to the telecommunications user is garbled. Since the i9020 has launched the official upgrade, I believe the same as the i9023 Nexus S upgrade not too far, may wish to wait for official notification.​

I will hold off on downloading any new builds until the ~15th when my bandwidth cap expires. Though I managed to stay tethered for 10 hours straight, this morning the connection was still on ( even if data is lost and reconnects, tethering connection will be lost meaning that data connection was maintained for 10 hours straight. As result, I will bash you if any of you complain about data stability especially on TMOUS build.

Hi guys

Quick question. I am in South Africa.

What gps location will i use?

I tried using google navigation, it just says checking if navigation is available...

It use to worm on previous builds. Currently it is set on US?

Thanks..

Try za. But I thought that info is only useful to get get Gps lock. As to whether Navigation is indeed available in your country might be an entirely different thing.... :)

Oops. Didnt work?
[HD2 Android SD Development] NEMESIS_9000:
I like this build very much. Keep the great work up!

I've got two issues with it.

Firstly the LED isn't as bright as with Windows Mobile. It is barely half as bright. Can there be anything done about the brightness? Otherwise I can't use the camera properly.

The second issue is when I connect my phone to the computer with USB mode I can't copy files. They are copied but aren't on the SD after disconnecting anymore. I then run checkdisc and it finds errors obviously from the copied and damaged files.

Can anyone please help or give an advice?

lcd_density setting not sticking

Just updated to 28th Aug SDMAGLDR version, two issues to report

1) Startup.txt in the SDMAGLDR still missing "lcd_density=xxx gps_zone=yy data_size=1024" in the set cmdline command

2) lcd_density setting does not work, phone still booted to 167 despite setting startup.txt to 240. Manually changing in build.prop is fine. Not a serious issue, just annoying that instructions asks to set it in startup.txt and it doesn't reflect
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
MAGLDR does NOT process the startup.txt (not in the current latest version anyway). You will need to edit the value in build.prop and reboot. Came for gps zone - you edit gps.conf or install FasterFix from the market.

This is all already in this thread (many times). Search is your friend.
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
I have one and it works. One thing I would recommend is that you delete your batterystats.bin file each time you swap between the standard and extended battery. The calibration data for one probably isn't valid for the other so the battery percentage displayed would be wrong.

Also, I'm not sure whether Warren's kernel completely supports it. Some people have reported the battery only going down to 50% then the device shutting down. Could be the batterystats file, or could be the battery driver in the kernel. What I can say is that the kernel listed in my sig does support the extended battery fully. If Warren's reading this he might have more details on the battery driver in the ACA standard kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
It's known to be a CM issue and there's a thread for it in their issue register. They're not fixing it in a hurry though... possibly because the issues register specifies "NO Nightlies". Anyone know where people can submit issues in nightly builds?

Does this work with the european hd2?

Am wondering if this radioversion (which i cant find specified anywhere?) is compatible with the european HD2?....

would be lovely, but as the name states AmeriCanAndroid.... im a bit worried :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The main difference between TMOUS version and Euro HD2 is the amount of ROM 1024MB v 512MB

As this is an SD build you won't see any difference. It is only when you use a nand build that the amount of Internal memory on the Euro HD2 starts to look very limited.

The build doesn't flash a radio, so as long as the one you have installed is a "50" not a "51" you'll be fine.

I see you are running WP7, so you will need to install via Magldr.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:

batterystats.bin - Observations

One observation about battery performance related to batterystats.bin/restarts of the system.

1. Battery performance 48h when phone used as business device (no multimedia).

What I do to achieve this:

1a.Boot into WM and change battery to 100%.

2b Boot into ACA and delete batterystats.bin.

2. Battery performance 12h with the same usage as in 1.

What I do to "achieve" this:

1a. It is enough to RESTART system...

Maybe during system restart batterystats.bin gets corrupted?

Maybe when I delete batterystats.bin in (1.) it just gets created and written with the new stats while it is not read and then problem is in reading/using recorded stats?

NOTE: I run AUG28 version, clean installed on empty SD card.

UPDATE: Just had another problem, could not wake up from standby - had to pull the battery off - I had this first time since I don't remember when... I have a very clean system - nothing installed really...
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
If batterystats is used for the percentage indicator of the battery it (deleting or otherwise) should not alter how long the battery actually lasts.

Perhaps Windows Mobile charge is different? What if you were to charge the battery outside the phone I wonder... I have no idea.
