Hi !

I am using this rom since the very begining, I am very happy with it and with the frequently updates... This rom rocks !

But ... is a nightmare for me... I love it and I hate it.. All is working perfect ! all BUT data (3G/H/GPRS...). I know a lot of work have been done to make it work as good as posible... but even with that... is not enough...

Data is so unstable... I use my phone also in my work... And miss a mail becouse 3G is not working is not an option for me... Also outside work I am missing whatsapp messages everyday...

Is there anyway to make this worl better ?? Other way I am obligated to finish my adventures with this ROM but I love it !

Each time I have problems with coverage (garage / lift / or any poor signal place) and also when I toggle BT or Wifi, nearly all times I loose data nad it never go back...

When I realize I have no data I have to go to plane mode and back to normal mode... And oh ! surprise ou have unread mails...

Anyway to have a stable data conection ??

Really TY for the nice work... but this has been so frustrating for me since many time ago... And I cannot go on with this ... :(

Any Idea please ?

(Sorry for my English)

TY !

Downloaded new file, not sure if I was before or after Cope's fixit - it was at almost exactly the same time. I placed the Android folder on my SD. I did not reuse my old data img this time. Phone rebooted by itself (in a seemingly short time). However, I have not been able to successfully load android since then. It gets stuck in the AmeriCanAndroid logo and "buzzes" every 15 seconds or so - I let it run for quite awhile and the phone really heated up. I went to redownload the build figuring mine was corrupt or something, and the front page says "standby". Any idea what's up?

Thanks,

Kris

Update: looked at fix permissions log. showed runtime of 0min, 0 secs. something didn't work right. Reloading the Android folder - we'll try again...

By the way, I noticed that the update log was corrected to read that the restart affects all users.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
not sure what happened there..

re the first post.. hit f5?

it shouldnt be saying standby for quite some time now
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Yeah, that's weird - the link is there now. Thanks for checking. I don't usually have the refresh problem as it reloads when I redirect back there.

Left Android builds due to data drops and got excited when I read about your new ril wrapper. Gave it a shot, AND cannot download anything from the market.

Peace out people, back to WP, I'll be back IF it ever gets sorted out.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
I found another problem.

Root Explorer doesn't see my SD card.

Does anyone else have this issue, too?
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
Data is not that unstable. You have some other issue with location or device that has nothing to do with this build. Have you tried other builds? If you find one that works better for you I would suggest sticking with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Istarth:
Yes I have tried many other roms... and sense roms work well with data... but there is no rom that can be compare with this... Any other is a turtle compare with this... this simply rocks ! The question is not how unstable is data... the question is what can I do to turn "is not that unstable" in to a "is so stable".

Anyway if you go to a low signal place (normal in my work) is SO unstable... and If you are in a very good quality signal place... then is much more stable...

So many time has passed since android 2.3 release... and is so strange to have no solution for this...

Only froyo sense roms work perfect with data connection... but they are so slow compare with this... So my options are:

- 1. Fantastic Features, Insane rom speed, fast but unstable data

- 2. Slow but stable data, less features, slow rom

- 3. Go back to WM --> Obsolete, medium speed, but all is working perfect

I really want to choose 1 but I really need to resolve data problems :(

Any Idea ?? Rmnet ?? ANYthing ??

Really TY !
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Boy that sucks. My data is about as reliable as it was on winmob. This build is great. I have had more things wrong with "official" company releases. I really dont see how people in the US could be having an data issues.

For those of you outside the US, there are many reasons for your data unreliability that isn't related to the build. The only way you can fix them in your corner of the world is to fly warren and cope down/up there where you are and have them test in your region.

For those of you inside the US, you are probably holding the phone wrong. (c) Steve Jobs.
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
I understand. However, when I made the statement "Data wasn't that unstable" I was referring to how you characterized it. I have not had the issues some report with "instability." alothough I am not a power data user. I use WiFi most of the time. When I do use Data the negatives i realize are Network related.

Whether using any Android build or using winmo6.5 I have typical network issues that effect data delivery and signal coverage. That's a Service Provider issue not the build. I have tried other SD builds as well and did not have any better data service than with most of the ACA builds. And as you point out other builds have tend to run sluggish and are not the caliber of this build.

As for Rmnet... I don't have the knowledge to know which would be best. As I understand it is slower. Search the thread and I think you will find there is no rmnet option for this build but I could be wrong.

Good Luck!
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
LOL... Right!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Istarth:
Hi again !

Really ty for your help !

The real problem is not to have a bad signal data or somethong like that... the real problem is when you loose data connection and the phone is not able to recover it... even if u are in the best signal place in the world... some times (many in my work place) when u loose data conection there is no other option than toggle plane mode to recover data conection... U can see the "H" or "3G" but is not green is greyed and there is no data connection...

When u use push mail and whatsapp constant data connection is a must...

I thought one of last fixes about data was some kind of script that check data conection and re-init when need... but that seems to be not working for me ...

I am thinking in move to another mobile (Sensation maybe) but I am happy with my hd2... and would like to keep it a little more.... :(

Again ty for the help ! Will see if the new sense 3 and new roms maybe force devs to take a look deeper into this...

TY.

lol not sure if there are ill effects to be had by doing this...

Try download this wrapper "libhtc_ril_wrapper.so", can be found in earlier threads. It fixes the data connection your described above. Furthermore battery drain less, I am very happy with this 0427 build now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Unfortunately, the new rootfs file did not cut it; I replaced the file before running the ROM for the first time (non magldr).

when you plugged into your pc you didnt get a pop up on your pc about a removable drive?

Thanks a lot, could You please mark releases with letter as you used to do? It was wery useful practice. At least archives like 050111.7z, 050111a.7z, 050111b.7z ... to mark its changed. Just polite note to your great work.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Rooster100:
Hi Bob, when I read your post a couple of days ago, I remember thinking it odd that your ADW was jerky and slow when mine was so smooth. But the same thing has happened a couple of times after/during setting up new widgets etc with mine. Both times I went to Settings> ADWLauncher and hit "Restart ADW Launcher" and then it was as good as gold. Maybe it just takes a re-start to get some new settings to "stick" sometimes?
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
It works fine for me. I have XDA Premium 1.1.0.

Will it make Root Explorer see my SD?

My SD is partitioned and Root Explorer (nor the OS) doesn't see my SD card, ES File Explorer does see it but trying to install something from it fails.

TB cannot restore a thing as it doesn't see my card either.

No frame 3 from starwars pic

Everything else appears to be working as it should (only quicker :) ) apart from Swype. The keyboard keeps disappearing. I'm sure this isn't the build, but one for Swype and Google to sort out.

Edit: Swype works fine after uninstall and reinstall :)

I think the Android version number is linked to the license.

Are the symbols turning green or staying white? Does toggling them off and back on fix it?

The link is working fine... the problem must be at your end.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Even with wifi on (and connected to an internet-enabled AP of course)?

Try this:

Turn off ALL connections except Mobile Data as well as GSM/HSDPA

Then wait about one minute

There sould now be an E, H or 3G sign left to the signal level bars in the notification bar.

If NOT there is something wrong.

If yes try the next thing:

Open up a browser and surf to www.firesplash.de (not wanting to have google here...)

If you do NOT get a page but an error open up terminal emulator and type the following:

ping -c3 www.firesplash.de

If it shows "Unable to resolve host" or similar we have a DNS problem.

If it shows "No reply from host" we have a yet unknown problem

If it shows "Answer from ..." Idk what's going on ;)

automatic screen brightness

Been loving this build for a while. Data drops seem to have stopped, which is awesome, GPS is now fixing in a minute from cold, and I haven't even changed the gps.conf to gb. and nice and fast too :-)

just checking, anyone else having issues with automatic screen brightness in the 0105 build? Mine's now on full power all the time. Gone to manual for the time being. (tried searching, but forum search not working atm)

apart from that all the stuff mentioned before, wifi needs switching off/on, USBtoPC, but I know you guys are on it.

And try SSL encryption. I got the same issue with correct settings but ssl disabled. Seems to be a small issue but hy that's a cool feature. You should never leave mail communication unencrypted which means insecure. Especially over mobile and wifi connections. (Even Mobile Internet is a shared connection.)

Data is no issue for me anymore, I can absolutely live with the few and short drops while doing stuff as I can be sure that after 10s the connection will be up and running again, perfect!

GPS, WiFi, tethering all good (as well as auto backlight), brilliant! Only thing left is the BT low drain fix, but not too big of an issue really.

You would need to download it to your phone in order to copy the file using android. ES File Explorer can be given SU, so that's fine.

Reboot.

If you downloaded the file to your PC then copy it to the SD card:\Android\root\system\bin\HERE

Reboot

I did exactly as stated above to no avail

I decided to reformat, repartition my SD and start with yet another clean start.

Let's see what happens

One thing for sure, with kernel updates I can no longer upgrade using either TB or old data.img. I wonder why. All builds before kernel 474 was released were upgrading in a flash with no unwanted FCs.

Well, I guess it is a price for wanting to be up-to-date :o

Still no luck, I will just wait for a new release

This is one of THE MOST informative posts! I have been using android sd builds for a long time. Am impressed with this build, but the low density issue was a BIG bug for me. I have tried several times to follow the steps in the faqs, but have never been successful. I would never post my unsuccessful attempts here because I knew it had to be user error - but could just never figure out my error. (and certainly didn't want to incur the wrath of certain people ;) )

It never occurred to me to do the changes in winmo. That makes perfect sense and THANK YOU! shamz23 for posting this most important bit of information that is missing from the faqs.

It works in a way.

The battery gets fully charged but the system still expects a small battery with only half the power.

For the system 1200mA is 100%. It counts down to 0.

But if you take down the battery for a minute and insert it back in, it will count down from 100% again.
