Hey KitKitYeah.

Try using a different APN under

Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

Ben,

Doing this wipes out the bkup2sdext feature! If your card is partitioned, this should be a last resort, not a regular thing.

All of your apps are backed up to the Ext3 partition, the intention being that when you reinstall with a fresh data.img, all of your apps are restored without all of the hassles usually associated with starting afresh.

If you're happy restoring with TB, then really, there's no point in having the sd-ext partition.

Recreating the partitions should not be a standard part of upgrading the build.

This is my understanding anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Good to hear that all is working well and an excellent contribution to the group for those running WP7.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
Yeah, problem is it's likely to get lost in all the noise!

Maybe Docent could add it to the FAQ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This begs the question why?

What have you been doing to your HD2 to require 10 fresh starts?

We have been discussing a rare issue that required drastic action. Normally there is no need to use a new data.img let alone reformat everything. I have never had to reformat my FAT partition and have used a new data.img only once when the build required it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] benpaddlejones:
Yes, its a total last resort all it saves is having to ship your personal files off your SD card & back again. Which if like me is vlarge can take a long time. The only reason I know it works is because I didn't understand backup-ext3 feature properly.

Ben :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] benjieb:
hi all

can some one point me to a post / faq / wiki that deal with how to upgrade from a build to another ?

I have the may 1st build and need to upgrade to the latest may 6th. The point is I would like to keep as much as possible of settings, data and apps while upgrading...

The first post's steps make little sens to me I guess I need some more specific walkthrough...

Please help.

power button

Hi all,

Could somebody help...

I installed the latest android CM71 on top of wm energy rom. After instalation I get weird behavior of power button in android and in wm (now even after full hard reset and flashing new wm rom):

When I lock device with power button and try to unlock with power button, the screen lights up but does not respond to touch. Only when i try unlocking the screen with any other hard key button the screen is responding. Also when device is unlocked and i try to execute any long press end button to do list - the screen becomes unresponsive. I have to lock the screen with power button and unlock using any hard button except end button to make it responsive.

Could it be hardware problem? as it affects even after new rom flash? and flashing sd Androind is just coinsidence...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Boot into Winmo or use a card reader.

All you need to do is to copy the contents of the new Android folder over your existing one. Just tick all the boxes in Windows to overwrite the existing files. As there is no data.img in the new folder that will be untouched.

Don't forget the 240 build.prop if you use it.

Reboot
[HD2 Android SD Development] Cerisal:
Hey,

The MIUI camera works fine here. You have to copy the camera into system/app not in root.

Greetings
[HD2 Android SD Development] benjieb:
Thanks for helping.

Should I expect any issue with apps previously installed are is it a 100% safe process ?

Nand & Magldr

I have a Imilka HD v2 nand version installed that uses my 1GB ext3 partition (Apps2SD).I am wondering if I install this ROM (boot from MAGLDR) will something mess up my nand ROM , because as I get it this American ROM also uses ext3 partition so I ask my self will their data (on ext3 partition) be in collision??

Can someone tell me does this ROM have new Gtalk audio/video and if it doesnt how can I install it??
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
It doesn't use the ext3 by default, that's just an option you have to backup data and settings so it shouldn't touch that unless you want to use backuptoext.

Yes it does include the new gtalk, bit since the hd2 lacks a front facing camera its not too useful for video, although I suppose you could see the other person they wouldn't be able to see you. Should be fine for audio though.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
/sdcard/android/root/system/app/

not /sdcard/android/.root/system/app

.root is what the .../android/root folder gets renamed to (when your device shuts down) .. to prevent issues in the future. and do not do all this when android is running. copy the file before android boots.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Yes it will, but it can be avoided.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12734171&postcount=4430

ext3 is used by default for backup2sdext if is a primary partition.

BT-pairing with HMX Zephyr

Cope,

another point for the BT-pairing issue:

With all ACAs up to 0505 I was able to pair my MW600 and also my Zephyr HMX 405 (BT hearth frequency monitor) at the same time.

For jogging, I could monitor hearth frequency and hear audio books at the same time! :-)

No, with 0506, it's impossible to pair the HMX 405 - HD2 will reboot instead of pairing, repedeatly! :-(

I'm just formatting my SD card and will try a clean install, also with new data.img, and will report here...

hi..

i got a FC on market particularly if i click 'just in' section. 'top free' section i got no problem whatsoever..i've downloaded bunch of apps,but then just want to browse 'just in' section suddenly i got FC. try to reboot,clear cache,still FC.

FYI i've run fix permission.

So, is this problem only happens to me? does anyone else has this problem? please help :)

so i can save time not to clean install again.

much thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I've just tried it without any problems here.

I see you've cleared the cache - next try uninstall updates.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You shouldn't have any problems, but it is always best to have a backup.

How many is "a couple lota" exactly?

I just tried and Google search still works in Firefox 5 :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] lachrymose:
excellent excellent build. Only complaint, as stated before in many other pages, is the constant loss of wifi/data. But other than that, the build is awesome :)

Best build I used ever

This is the best build i have ever used. After 2 days of running the built and with my experience with android SD builds i want to share the problems which when corrected can make the build unique.

1>Bluetooth issue- Most of the times cannot connect to paired devices automatically. Have to swich off and switch on bluetooth.

2>Wifi problem-Wifi connection dies if not used for long time. Have to disconnect and reconnect again

3>Battery Drainage may be a bit more when bluetooth is on.

The 3G connection is doubt better in this build than any other build I used earlier

[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
One more note about the 5/6 build. It is the first build I have used that has very dependable wifi tethering. Other builds would always drop the connection - I have been using wifi thethering for 45 minutes straight and even after the 3g droppped out and automatically reconnected wifi tether is still going strong.

bck2sd - howto ?!

Hi,

i want to switch from single partition SD Card to three partition SD Card (Fat32/ext3/swap).

I checked the FAQ, this forum and google but have not found much about

"bck2sd".

How does this work ?! When is the data back uped to the ext3 ?! On shutdown ? Manually ? And when is the data restored ?! On reboot ? Manually ?!

Does anyone have a kind on manual ?!

Would be great....thanks..

I had the ACA CIA look into Mr. Docent. They found him too smart for the project and now he's gone. Lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Try the ACA SEAL team.....

Good to see you Warren. Please give us some good news about BT issue. Cope did not say much about it in the heads up above. Thx.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
wellll the whole bt thing is mad whack tbh. for the time being i COULD roll back the 60mah fix, retaining all other bt updates.

but i'd rather not. i'd much rather find what's missing on our end. in fact, with the newest release there was something that wasn't present previous. perhaps that will help resolve the issue. if not, people will have to deal with power draw until i have time to really sort it out. i'm currently finding out how to overlay source code in cm7 so that we can best reduce the number of git's we manage.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thank you man. I am sure you will sort this out soon. All the best. For now I was hoping that at least the connection issue could be solved and the finer things like power draw and music functions can be resolved with time. Please see whatever best compromise you can get for us for now ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
ACA kernel is now updated and being compiled with a couple newer commits from the CM kernel tree. ppp packet handling and wifi related stop/start modifications.

i did find a very interesting commit regarding setting the bluetooth power on a high enough power profile to receive/send acl's BUT i cannot do this specific one because of an extra variable I'll need to hunt down how to implement.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kain144000:
@ warrenb213 I'd just like to know what's meant by "CM71". Does it mean cyanogen(mod) v7.0.1, or is it you guys' own naming scheme? It's a li'l confusing, as cyanogen(mod)'s v7.0.3 now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Annnnd I've changed something in the ROM end which may make GPS MUCH quicker.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
wayyyy off dude.

CM7.1 is in RC status. ;)

those of us who build from source code get to enjoy things the official builds don't yet. haha

Good things coming...... :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
Ya I don't know what happened but I downloaded it twice from two different mirrors, on the fourth one it worked. Must have been something with the download as you said. All is working now though, and I must say this build is awesome.

Don’t know. I was hopping to see a new build yesterday. But I guess that’s not going to happen now. LOL:mad:

the build is so good now that no-one can find any new issues to post!

btw, I seem to be having an issue with angry birds....:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
So far as i know, It's being worked on - If you look in the camera settings, the 720p option is there, but it only records at about 1fps :D

I'm sure it'll be along soon....
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
I really am not sure whether 720P recording is possible. I know 720p playback has been enabled but as for recording I aint so sure. Or did someone mention that 720P recording is not possible with the current hardware?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelees2:
I had issues with that as well. I had to do a clean install with the hole thing and since that it has been good.

I have had issues with not wanting to boot sometimes. It gets stuck at the HTC screen. WIFI dropping out. Seems when I first boot I can be 5ft from my router and the wifi shows 1 bar with no connection. I reset the connection and it comes back on the first or second try.

I know they are working on the camera but I don’t know if any progress has been done.

On 050611 build with a new data.img from the last 2 days, here's some AVRCP feedback....

-Took longer than usual but was able to pair & connect with my backbeat by marking my phone as discoverable, but it did pair & connect properly...

-Works fine except for the 'end call' thing that others have already mentioned..

-Also, while selecting the previous track, it goes to the start of the current track and then goes 1 track back and then I have to engage the previous track button again if I want to go back further...

Lock Screen

I would like to improve on the time it takes to get the lock screen. I don't know why but sometimes it takes a very long time to get this lock screen in order to unlock the phone
[HD2 Android SD Development] termignoni:
woahh.. i thought i was the only one.. my screen just failed on me a few hours ago.. even after a hard reset, the screen is unresponsive.. i've been on this latest build a couple of days now..

i've had no hardware failures on my HD2 before, and was thinking maybe it was a coincident that it happened after i ran this build on my HD2.. but now it seems that it is not a coincident..

the screen was actually behaving weirdly on Android, especially when typing SMS.. then it just won't unlock.. i thought it froze, so i removed the battery and booted to WinMo with Energy ROM.. same thing, unresponsive.. did a hard reset, no go..

hmm.... so i am actually wondering, does this latest build affects the digitizer? my HD2 is not the T-Mobile US version..

I'd like to reinforce this. My experience is similar to uzi2's. Indeed I'm still using as data.img created on 2nd March. In fact I have tried creating a fresh data.img a couple of times, but I got loads of FCs, so I just went back to the original and all was well. Since I have a partitioned SD card, and inspection of the contents of SD-ext seem to confirm that the back-up feature is working as expected, perhaps my poor experience with a fresh data.img is worth a comment from the more knowledgeable around here. Overall I'm very happy with this build and the progress that Cope and Warren are making. Thanks guys

Power drain...

...fixed for me. Thought I'd pass this on in case someone else is having a similar problem.

I'm on 050611 and I was getting a constant drain of 60mA even with nothing turned on. Spent the last few days looking for the problem but came up empty. Then discovered a separate problem with Firefox... Couldn't display any pages. Cleared the app's cache etc but no luck. Uninstalled it and reinstalled from the Market. Now the power drain is gone. My device now pulls 5mA when idle with the screen off, and that's without turning off data or gps. Goes up to about 7 if i turn on bluetooth. I'm happy again!

So people, if you have a power drain that you can't find the cause of, it's quite likely to be an app that's not working. Maybe a browser, maybe a similar app that syncs data.
[HD2 Android SD Development] drleni:
Hello all,

I need Your help with this loved ROM: since I use 050511 version, i can't move some programs (Pocket Informant, for example, that doesn't work from SD) to main memory - it notify me that there is no free memory - but I have 599 MB free memory !

May be, that is knowing problem ?

What can I do ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
...or maybe it is completely unrelated to the Firefox issue. A look at your battery use would have established this. These spikes to 60mA have been frequently reported and attributed to battery miscalibration. The manual answer is in Docent's FAQ, but there is an app which does it all for you - Battery Calibration.
