It may well be a GPS problem as you say they were working very well previously. I may have misread your original post, but I thought you said they were working in Winmo, but the android versions were not satying awake.

Either way, you will get the answer by using My Tracks. If that exhibits the same problem, then we need to look at your GPS settings.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Didsbury:
Thanks again. I'll report back about My Tracks.

BT and DSM do not seem to like each other, although some of the settings do make a difference to the sound and BT connections (headphones/keyboard) are the best I've ever had them on Android. I'm now in the realms of using this as a daily now....

One thing and I only put this here because I didn't have it with Wifi Tether on WinMo. Sooooo. Everytime I connect with Wifi Tether in (this?) Android, Win7 insists on giving it a new network number. The SSID stays the same but I'm currently on SSID name 34. This rendered it a 'public' network every time and I have to either manually 'merge' it, or click to make it my home network.

My XP machine doesn't though, so it's most irritating.

SSID hidden, WPA2 and my own network name.

Anybody else had this, or know of a clicky, clicky solve?

"Yes, revert back to XP", isn't really a solution....

Strange Issue

Hmm, I have a very strange issue that didn't happened before.

I wanted to upgrade to the latest build. So, as usual, I turned off the phone, took out SD card, put it into a card reader, renamed old android folder to something else (for backup purposes), copied new android folder, put SD card back, turned on the phone and .....

nothing, stuck at the boot screen logo, tried like 10 times, waiting between 10 up to 8 hours, still nothing

decided to remove old data.img and let the build create a new one .... with same results

hmm, well, whatever, renamed the old android folder to android (after removing 28.08 build of course) and am getting the same results

I tried with another SD card .... to no avail :(

Does anyone have a clue what is going on?

I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I can't help but ask...

Is it possible to add wifi calling?

I'm not a developer or anything, so I have no idea whether this is feasible or not, but I'd be a happy camper if it could ever be achieved...

Awesome ROM BTW... I went with you guys and never looked back =)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
My only thought would be a corrupt SD card, but you say you have tried another. Have you run Chkdisk or tried a full format?

Have you still got all the files you should have in the previously renamed folder?

Have you tried a fresh install of the older build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Chkdisk shows no errors, the 2nd card was brand new and formatted with Panasonic Card Formatter.

I am out of solutions I guess :(

Android Market

Hi there,

I just installed AmeriCanAndroid for HD2(aug28), and i am trying to download skype, Android Market doesn't allow me to install Skype and some other apps. I was looking around for issues and i found out that the reason I can't install some of the apps was because Android market "decided" that HD2 is not compatible with the apps that i want to download? How do you guys overcome this issue?

Thanks guys...
[HD2 Android SD Development] bobdylan1:
Wonder if someone could shed some light on a couple of issues?

I'm using a build from May this year as it seems stable and so no need to change. However, the GPS has never really worked very well, have downloaded FasterFix but this hasn't really cured the problem. Has this been fixed in a later build?

Also, the Wifi tether software didn't work very well either, so I downloaded Barnacle and all was well... until... I got myself a HP Touchpad and it seems this cannot recognise Ad hoc networks and therefore Barnacle won't work any more :-(

I've tried a few tether softwares but none seem to work, I have tested a Desire running Froyo and this works beautifully with the stock software. Has this been fixed in the latest build or can anyone recommend a fix?

Thanks

Thanks, do I need to let the system build a new data.img file or can I use my old one? :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Make a copy of your old one for backup purposes. You only need to let the system build a new data.img if you encounter problems when using the old one.

As you will be moving to a new android build (2.3.5) the chances of encountering problems may be higher, but it is well worth trying first.
[HD2 Android SD Development] walidhazem:
hmm...its working fine here with updated market from uzi i think the only i thing i did once i updated was edited build.prop and changed density to 240
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
I downloaded the latest version 2 days ago, and installed it last night.

First I used Titanium to back up EVERYTHING.

Since my previous ACA install was from May, I thought I would rebuild the data.img file from the Titanium backup.

I was disappointed that not everything is restored as it was. All the apps are restored internally, even thought most things were moved to SD storage. So, I started moving things to SD, and have a bit more to go.

Also, my screen did not restore; I mean thinks like icons I placed on the screen desktop, the background image (theme), widgets and so forth. Also, my lock code was not saved, and the screen doesn't lock with a code.

I guess in the future, I will perform updates more frequently, and just reuse the data.img file.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
There is a setting in TB to restore backups to original location.

It is generally safe to restore everything except the red items.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
First, did you try copying your backup folder on the new card?

Second, try to redownload the latest (or use the copy of the prior build which you already downloaded, but from before you installed it.) Install that fresh.

Also, if you have winmo, is that booting up? Or, are you using magldr? If you are, you might install a version of winmo to clear everything off of your phone to start fresh.

Good luck.

"Tracker Booster" didn't solve the problem with GPS and Endomondo. There is something wrong with the latest ROM release. I'm using Americandroid with Endomondo for few months but the problem occurred only in the last build. Any advice?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Regarding market and compatibility... remember that it's not always about our device's ID, but rather the developer's code. Go back about 10 pages and you'll see a good discussion between a user and Google about how market really works. If we have the developers include the correct info in their app, then the problem is fixed for our device long term and HTC hd2 users won't have to struggle so much. So, a little work on our part benefits everyone. ~kris

Edit: I'm saying that market is not intentionally acting as a gatekeeper.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I find that backing my launcher up with Ti saves my desktop settings. Some items seem to need to be reset with a fresh install no matter what, but you can minimize that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
For people using old, old builds, I recommend making a good backup, and then trying the latest build, including the kernel. The responsiveness is terrific and I'm finding the battery life to be very good. Give it a shot. You have little to lose, because you can always revert. ~kris

Wi-Fi calling is integrated into the ROM and works. The only thing you need is an account with a VOIP provider.

If you have one go to: Settings> Call settings> Accounts> press <Add account> button on bottom of page and set your account details, check <receive in calls> If you have incoming number and make sure DATA and/or WI-FI connections are on.

I am using voip for incoming outgoing calls and my only problem is losing sound if I answer a voip call with BT.

I could not find it, is it only in the paid version?

Also, none of my settings restored, so I started setting them again.

Particularly, I set a new screen unlock password. At one point I noticed some settings starting to take effect, but there were problems, so I rebooted.

When I rebooted, the screen lock password I am using will not unlock. I am using the same password, but it won't unlock!

So, I put the old data.img file back, and rebooted, looks OK now :D!

In TB hit the "Windows" button and go to settings. There you can find a menu called "restore backups" (or similar). Here you can define to which location the backups are restored to.

Just a bit confused here... I was about to do this for myself (with the hope & intent of always improving my setup if possible)... but I don't have any GPS issues - that I'm aware of, and besides...

Aren't the NMEA GPS libs version 2.1, already built into this latest 8/28 release?

Please forgive my confusion. And also - if reinstalling the GPS libraries IS a good idea; Why would the NMEA version be preferred over the RPC? I'm genuinely ignorant about this.

Thanks for any help or advice. -Rob

Yes

Some find "reinjecting" the libs or the latest version fixes some issues/problems. And some, using the RPC version is working for them (fixed heat issues...).

From tytung's post:

I leave it to the more knowledgeable users here whether NMEA is preferred over RPC. Some users have less issues when using RPC -- I read it several pages of posts back. I'm sorry I could not find the exact post, but's it's here somewhere. :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] twotimer:
Did anyone try to compare offline GPS navigation software available for both WinMo and Android? For example, Navigon is available for both platforms.

The reason i'm asking is that when i run TomTom in WinMo with car charger attached, it seems like HD2 is able to charge (i.e. 500 mA coming from the charger is more than the phone with TT running consumes). Whereas when i run Navigon in SD ACA, my phone discharges (quite slowly though, like 1 % in 20 minutes of navigation). When i check current widget log afterwards, i see that current consumption is slightly over 500ma on average, so the car charger can't saturate the greed of the phone :).

Navigon is more detailed and has much more stuff on the screen, so i guess it's the map animation on the screen that takes a lot of juice...
[HD2 Android SD Development] zyclone:
Yes absolutely :D best build ever
[HD2 Android SD Development] SPEEDHAMMER:
well,that issue exists probably because of a MAGLDR bug. But there are two ways that you can use to solve the problem:

1)Use root explorer to open and edit the build.prop file.Change the lcd density to 240.This can be done,preferably after first boot.(best to backup ur apps and settings using titanium backup prior to editing)

2)Download a lcd density changer app from the market and change the density to 240 and reboot.

There is one more issue (noticed only in two lastest SD builds). I very often use my HD2 as a music player (Cubed player for mp3 and xiialive for streaming). The problem is that the device hangs from time to time (no reaction + pretty f***ing annoying sound, avg 3~5 times a day). And it always occures on earphones, never on speaker. On earlier builds everything was ok, I was able to listen music for hours everyday. What can it be?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Spaqin:

[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
FWIW... I can confirm this. My own SIM card was about nine years old. I replaced it yesterday (remembering the above post).

I have no idea why this worked. :confused: but, :) :cool:

[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
this is also an issue that changes from build to build, no clue what causes the higher drain with the same using pattern. I suspect its something at cyanogens end...

With my set up (see below) the phone actually charges while navigating or at least stays put. Navigation drains about 300mA. On other builds it easily drained 500+, on one I even recall 650mA drain spikes, all with the same navigation app.

Trial and error I guess... ;)

I have no clue, but I did exactly the same as you did and all works OK. Being with this forum for a long time and what you said or something in those lines happens from time to time to many, since I don't believe in bad luck I assume there must be a difference somewhere. The differences could be:

1. Hd2 Europe or US

2. Problems with SD corrupted or need to format

3. Different installed applications.

4. Bad Sim card may cause problems but mostly high drain.

I think this is a worthy question for Warren or Cope to answer (that is, if either of them cares to). My first response to you was based on the datestamp of Tytung's 2.1 NMEA & RPC GPS libraries that I downloaded independently (from the link to them posted a few pages back). They're dated 8/26/11.

I didn't install them. The ACA SD 8/28 changelog specifies that the 2.1 (NMEA) libraries were added to the current release. Warren reiterated this a few posts back.

I've checked the datestamp on my filesystem and you're absolutely correct. The libgps.so file is dated 02/28/08. I have no idea why - or what's going on.

My apologies to you. I had thought you interpreted the 08.28.11 date as Nov 28, 08... and I didn't check the actual (installed file) date... as I assumed it to be the same as Tytung's 8/26/11.

I'm now as curious as you... BUT I will say; I was out driving today (a round trip of about 190 miles), and my Google Maps & Navigation were working great!

That's all I know. -Rob

That doesnt mean the install is exactly the same. Users install different apps. Hence why I mentioned apps in my previous post. You just never know unless you know every single change they made per release, since the last, off the top of your head.
