Does it work in winmo? Does it keep working in winmo?

If it's not the card, it could be the contacts in your phone.

You can always try a fresh install of ACA after a format of your sd card. No restoring of data, no sd-ext. Test it and check if the problem resurfaces.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
It does work with WinMo. And I'd rather not install everything from scratch. Especially that it had been working till yesterday. I didn't install any updates, apps or whatsoever so it has to have something to do with either the system or SD card.

I am afraid it is the latter but still hope it is not.

Has anyone experienced anything like that on their phones?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Histrument:
The difference would be hard to perceive in most apps; and probably without 20/20 (or better) vision. All the doubting comments made me think I'm imagining the improvement, so went back to 16 bpp to see if the picture quality of the episode of Battlestar Galactica I was watching on netflix would degrade... and at 16 bpp I COULD NO LONGER SEE LEE ADAMA'S PINSTRIPES ON HIS SUIT.
[HD2 Android SD Development] MacPac:
I can´t see improved vision with the trick.

For example, the grey "news and weather" widget (in a big size) is horrible pixeled, with and without the trick.

But strangely, after the trick my data conexion is working again (i think anyone has also the same effect).

Perhaps the visual effect is "rom's dependent". My WMo ROM is the last HTC official (3.14)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Histrument:
I refer to my original post, that this also fixed other issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Fixed. How? Defragging the card :eek: So the problem had something to do with my SD. I guess I need to buy a new one. Anyone successfully using 32GB SD? What brand? What class?

The second question stays open for suggestions

TIA
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
If you could explain what "in-call cyonogen lockscreen" is, maybe someone could help you.

I for one, have no idea what that is.

As for solving your problem with defrag. It moved you data around on your sd card. If there is a bad sector on your card, that might solve the problem and in turn it might also cause new problems, if that sector now is populated by some other important code of the system. So if you experience other problems, now that your sim is working again, you should think about testing another sd card.

Disable black screen on call

What is that lockscreen you are referring to?

The going black of the screen when close to your head?

I would not advise to remove that one as you would be constantly hanging up the phone with your cheek...

But, since you have to know yourself what you want to do or not, you can find the option quite prominent under Call settings... :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
That is exactly what I am thinking. So any recommendations as to 32GB Micro SD?

Oops, my bad.

When a call is coming in, you are given two options answer or reject. They are given on a Cyanogen lockscreen. You can change what kind of lockscreen you want but not remove it. I do not want to have any sliders, rotary things, just two plain buttons.

Anyone?

Battery Monitor Widget or Current Widget
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Thank you. Now that I have that I now see why my battery is crap, it stay at like 136 mA, not exactly sure why, nothing is running
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I personally wouldn't get one of the class10 cards. For one, they are expensive and the system itself doesn't take advantage of the higher speed.

It may be usefull if you transfer big amounts of data often, but if you don't it's a waste of money, in my opinion.

The class10 cards also seem to be more prone to problems, than slower cards. I don't know why but the speed has to come from somewhere. Maybe they use a slightly different technology. They work ok for some people, so you could get lucky.

I think sandisk cards are pretty save. I have a 16GB class2 and ACA works flawlessly with it. No lags. But as far as I know these cards are quite fast for class two cards. After all, the class only guarantees a minimum speed. Cards can be a lot faster than that guaranteed minimum.

I'd go with a class 4 or 6 sandisk. And I'd get it from somewhere where I can return it easily if the card doesn't live up to my expectations.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
136mA looking at the widget, while the screen is on would be normal.

Have a look at the settings of the widget and check the refresh rate.

Turn your screen off and wait for the reading to refresh, according to the time you found in the settings.

Turn your screen on and check the widget.

It should be somewhere around 5mA in 2G mode with nothing else like bluetooth, wifi or gps on. Drain may spike if one of your apps kicks in, like your email app automaticaly checking for emails.

During defrag windows or win7 correct the bad sectors. A disk surface test 15 minutes on 16gb sd.

I never find bad sectors on disk. It looks like the problem is in data.img. A prog makes a write mistake and droid will slow/lagy etc.

I think that is the reason why disappears the problem after a fresh inst.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Ok well it looks like its not going any lower then 61mA, everything is off other then data and its set on 2g, I've heard a lot of people talking about battery calibration, how do I go about doing that? And does it work?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
There is a file somewhere that contains information about your battery (how much energy your battery can hold). That file has to be erased. After that you need a full battery cycle. Erase the file after you fully charged your phone, let it turned on until it turns itself off and recharge it again.

The file will be created again, with the new data.

There is also an app that will help you with that. Forum search will probably help you find it.

But I don't think that will help with your problem. The current widget tells you how much energy your phone is using. It's an exact, read out number.

Calibrating your battery will only help when your phone shows you incorrect numbers of the remaining battery time. That has nothing to do with the current your phone actually uses.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Well, I guess that is usually the case.

If there is a write error that causes the lag/FC/whatever and you defrag, that error will be copied to a different part of your sd but it is still there, since defrag doesn't repair, it only moves files.

After a fresh install the error will be gone.

But if a defrag solves the problem instead of a fresh install, chances are it is a bad sector on your sd.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Any ideas to where that file is and that app. If I don't know what I'm searching for ill never find it
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You have used the exact words "battery calibration". Search for this and you will be in luck.

If you care to read the FAQ, you will see the process described, so that you can do it manually if you prefer.

UPDATE! - HAPPY BURGER Thursday!

okay nm the seperate kernel test... i think this is holding.

im not going to do a front page release just yet.

so consider this a test build. backup your shiz first.

id prefer a fresh data.img/clean install but its your call.

once i get some good feedback we'll move it to the front page.

^the build itself is stable but its the kernel im .... needing tested

so this test build will have warrens newest kernel in it r613

the build compile itself is from last night and has tested good for me thus far.

check the market there are lots of updates inc. superuser app.

Hmmmm, just ran Crystal Disk Mark on my sd card and boy was I surprised

That is pretty damn terrible! No wonder I've been getting errors if something in the build has recently changed to rely more on random speeds than it used to. Looks like I need to start thinking about a new card!

Amazon have a 16GB Class 10 Transcend card for around £16 right now, anyone have any experience with Transcend?

EDIT: From looking around it seems most class 10 cards, especially cheaper makes have terrible random times. Lots of people recommending fairly standard class 4 Sandisks as being the most responsive. Just seems a waste when I already have a class 4 Kingston

Just flashed 15th June build with my old data. Its not stable..... Boots alright but has serious lag, will re-boot at random every few minutes and has FCs in some apps if you can get it to run long enough to open any app.

Hotboot loop.

Try the latest non-flashing at boot 150611 build on a brend new SD 16GB class 4 card with data.img from 1006b and samething happened, hot reboot loop.

Did not try fresh data.img.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
Not 100% sure about it, but it might be worth to toy with the card read buffer size. This build has 2048 preset with the \system\etc\init.d\05acainit sript.

Now, if there's any similarity to windows FAT, then reading/writing of a large number of small files will take considerably longer time than for one large file of the same size (with transfer speed dropping even to 100kb/sec) - and almost 75% of android system files are below 500kb (95% in data.img). So maybe for slower cards the lower cache could resolve some of the fc/wait issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
Gratz !! =]

All the Best for You !
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
So changing the /system/xbin/echo "2048" could improve the write speeds for smaller files? Would I reduce that size to say 1024 or even 512?

I have used Transcend before and even now I swap between my Transcend 8GB and my Team Group 16GB. I prefer the speed of the Transcend although both are Class6. I just ordered a 32GB lexar Class10, I hope the speed it is as good as my 8GB Transcend.

512 didn't seem to make any difference so I've dropped it all the way down to 128.....and I'm tentatively saying it seems better. Ordinarily I would get a system or Launcher Pro FC/Wait when I first unlock after booting, not this time. When testing the 512 change I loaded my browser and tried to quickly go into my favourites and load the BBC Sport page....I suffered 4 waits during that process.....with 128, everything loaded instantly. Quickly loading my app tray, facebook, then twitter, then the Market all went smoothly.

Hi,

Update with old data.img : ok.

1) Just after reboot, i activated data : ok, network icon in grey/white.

2)After 10 seconds, activation of BT, icon appears and... reboot into droid ;-(

3)after reboot, activating data (network icon white) :ok

4) activating BT : ok;

5) disabling BT : ok;

6) airplane mode : ok

7) PIN = ok;

8) activating data : ok (network icon white)

9) launching default browser : google in cache => ok (network icon white)

10) clicking 'news' link in google page : reboot !

So i thnik that, WITH OLD DATA.IMG, when data are activated, it's not working rebooting...

But seems faster on response with this build (even i had once a Wait Screen)

Tried activating Wifi : no direct restart whil getting IP address (but as it was an private wifi, i don't know what happen when it's connected).

As i need my phone, i'll revert to the old one, and will try with a fresh data.img, to see what happened after data connection ;-)

I was thinking the same thing, the last couple of posts with problems all say they are reusing the data.img from older builds, when you expressly recommended fresh installs and warned it may not work... I was hoping some of those with problems with an old data.img file will post they have no issues with a new data.img file, but yet none have...

So, come on people, after you tried a new data.img you should at least post telling us of your sucess, and next time, try a new data.img prior to posting your issues, then you can just post to confirm Cope is right, old data.img files will not work, and not confirming what cope told us already...
