I do not understand how you are not willing to read the thread. American Android is safe but what if there was a risk of bricking your phone? Would you blindly try it or read for the sake of your phone?

It's not 450+ pages, it's 425, you couldn't even get that right.

If I were you, this is the thought process I would have applied, as any Homo sapiens, a fully erected bipedal mammal should:

The result of the following query would have been the following:

http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=65905154

That's less than 10 seconds! And the answer is within the first page of search results. Sorry but the missing tags excuse for not searching does not fly.

As a matter of fact, you should for your own good read the whole thread. How does one's mind not comprehend that a lot of goodness is in this thread. People could have posted their advices, tips, tricks, experiences, app recommendations, case, battery recommendations etc. Oh wait, they did and you choose to ignore it.

And no we are not lazy. I am very motivated to help when I see an honest effort being made by the one asking for help.

There was a German dude with a data problem, I installed 4 different builds and spent a lot of time testing, trying to help him with the issue.

No excuses for not searching, period. Anyone that even remotely cares about their phones would have been reading and searching to avoid bricking, problems or to simply improve the experience with these builds.

I have 0 tolerance for people sitting on the fountain of knowledge that's this thread yet choose to simply yell "I am thirsty!" instead of reaching in and putting an end to dehydration...

Hi all,

I occasionally have problems with this NAND when I call out.

When I do an outgoing call to someone I hear the person but that person does not hear me. Incoming calls don't give any problem ...

Anyone have any idea where this problem is?

FireChief

(sorry for the bad english)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Hey are you sure you are in the right thread? This is not a NAND build. It is an SD Card build. But I can give you basic troubleshooting tips that could work for either.

1. Check your radio version, if its old update it.

2. Check to see if you are using a clean build with no additions or imports

3. Check the FAQ on the first page of this post or in my signature

4. Check the first page of this thread for possible links to other places to get help.

Cheers, and enjoy Android!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
I sometimes get this but only very very occasionally, and only to when calling to a phone that is being used on a bluetooth handfrees kit in a car.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Just to piggyback on that, unchecking "use wireless networks" under location helps tremendously. It also is easy to forget because when you toggle GPS on and off it doesnt toggle that variable also. So goto into your settings->location and check that off when not using GPS. See if that helps also.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Firechief:
Sorry..... its the SD version... If tryed a lot of stuff the last few days...

This is the right one... I coudend install any other NAND or ROM becuasse my phone

won't update anymore (?!)... The % bar stays on the phone and PC one 0%....

1. Radio version is 2.15.50.14

2. How can i check this? what do you meen exactly.

3. I go check it out right now.

4. Ok

Thanks for transforming my phone Copes- this build is awesome!:D

Just wanted to give you and the mysterious enigma Warren some feedback: tried my first Android about 6 weeks ago starting with popular Sense builds (Rafdroid & Dandiest) which were really stable and fun- but when I loaded this (20/3) I was blown away by the speed and smoothness- there is no comparison! I thought I needed Sense but I've since discovered there's heaps of widgets and apps and CM7 Android is easy to customise compared with WinMo.

I wanted to use this as primary OS (for work) but there was one deal-breaker: I just couldn't get my mobile data happening consistantly- which I need for emails, internet and maps etc while on the road away from the office. But a week ago I came across a post on another thread which recommended searching the APN settings for your carrier on Google. BLOODY HELL (never had to do this before)- but I did & changed settings and CANOLA!- everything worked!:) (It seems so obvious now:o) And I haven't needed my trusty WinMo Energy Rom.

Thankyou again.

Hey,

Have you checked if you accidently enabled the mute option ( I don know the exact english name) on the screen during the phone call? I had this problem twice as my hair touched the screen.

Try the 2.12.50.xx or 2.10.50.08_2 radio (Not the full numbers, but should be enough for you to find them and test them. Some also say these older radios give better battery life, wouldn't hurt to try...

Data Drops

I had posted this before, but went unresponded, but I think the data drop issues may be hardware related to a degree. I alternate between WinMo and Android. And even with many radios, I still get dropped data in WinMo, even with stock Rom (Current Rom is better than stock for drops) I find myself having to put my WinMo in Airplane mode sometimes, in order to get back a signal.

As we experince data drops in both WinMo and Android, at least I do, I have to think there is something not quite perfect with the hardware design. If I never had data drops in windows, I would think Android is to blame. However, as it happens on both OS's on the same phone, I think the phone may be to blame.

While WinMo does drop and reconnect most times, it is not immune form not reconnecting. I have even had to reboot in order to restore connections, when airplane mode doesn't work (in WinMo). I will say, a data drop in android is far easier to fix. I open Terminal and type the following:

#su

#killall pppd

and the connection resets itself. If I knew how, I would write a simple script, with an icon I could put on my Android desktop, that would execute the above commands and reset my ppp, but I am not there yet with android. There is nothing equivilant I can do in WinMo.

So before anyone else complains about the data in this build, it may not be a problem with the build, and may be something with how the phone deals with a data connection, at the hardware level, out of the control of the OS itself...

Just my $.02, your experiences may vary...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Firechief:
I give it a try! Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
What build are you using? This sounds kind of familiar to me.

I can't remember if it was in copes old thread or one of the Android builds i used before that but I definetly heard of this problem before.

Before you experiment with the radio, which isn't without risk, try formating your SD card and do a fresh install of the newest AmariCanDroid build. Let it create a new data image and don't use the old one.

If that doesn't help you can try a different radio version.
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
I just switched up from the 2.12.50 radio to the newest 2.15.50 and it is definitely sucking up more battery. Any increase in call quality or signal strength doesn't seem to be notable enough to justify the cost of battery consumption.

Those radios are fine but I experience Black Screen of Death on waking up so I'd recommend using 2.14 or 2.15. Just my 2 cents. :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] Nick.C:
Really appreciating the releases - the last two have proven to be stable on my HD2 (previously it would prompt for SIM unlock code periodically or even seem to perform a soft reset [CM boot logo came up and the phone appeared to restart]). I have been really happy with the 0329 and 0402 builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
Damn you Cope!! At the rate you release updates, I can never get enough reboot cycles in to tell if my battery consumption ever settles down! Slow down for crying out loud:eek:

;):p;):D
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Just got an app called gscript that allows you to create a script and put a shortcut on your home screen

I created a small script, with SU status that kills the ppp so it resets itself. I simply put "killall pppd" in the script box, checked SU, and created a custom shortcut to the script. Now when data dies, for example, when I exit the subway and regain a signal, all I need to do is tap the new scrip icon, ppp resets, and I have data back. no need to put in airplane mode, or reboot the phone. the script does the reset and in 3 seconds, I have ppp back...

Worth a try, and far easier than me trying to figure out how to get my own script onto the homepage.

You can set in terminal emulator settings what script it run after start. Then, everytime you tap emulator icon it just runs your script

Curious about unlocking TMo...

First of all let me say thank you to all of you producing, developing and supporting this version of Android for HD2!!

I recently was able to get my unlock codes from TMobile and am curious if there is any actual benefit for me to unlocking my phone at this point. I am pleased with running AOSP from SD and do not want to open a can of worms unnecessarily. I do not need to use any other SIM card or carrier.

Just a few noob questions:

Will simply unlocking have any positive effect to the AOSP Build?

Would flashing my ROM with a custom build improve anything? Currently have TMo's standard Rom 3.14.531

Should I consider NAND for improved performance and if so which Android GB 2.3.3 Build would I use?

Any feedback would be appreciatied. I hope you do not mind me posting these questions here.

all you have to do, is remove your 'remembered' settings from the wireless AP section.. so. .'forget network' and then re-add it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
it is very possible that I can add "killall pppd" to the 'tear down - build back up' function that we are using to reconnect data.

it would function like this.

tear down.

killall pppd

build up.

so let me test with this and see what kind of results I get... who knows this may be all that we needed. thankyou for this little tidbit. get back to you soon on it. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
unlocking your device will only help you if you are planning on using your phone with a carrier other then tmo. ie: you order a tmo hd2 to use in canada.. and when you get it .... all you get is.. "simlocked" so you have to unlock it to use it.

custom rom.... anything other then the stock winmo rom, is going to be an improvement... the choice it litterally up to you... there are a ton to choose from.

I recommend tho... cleanex RV by gwlarne.

nand isnt going to improve anything other then .. well... really.... you lose the ability to boot winmo (not that this is a big deal) but for some thats a deal breaker. speed/reliability/etc isnt going to change enough to even notice. thats my opinion anyway... some people say that battery life is better on nand. But.... i disagree with their reasons why. (add on top of that.. the SLIGHT chance you can brick (yes brick) your phone.... thats enough for me to stay away \- again... my opinion) anyway.. this is all stuff you can test on your own and provide back to us your findings :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
firechief,

did you have this problem before you installed all your apps? just curious that it isnt another app causing this, cause this is not something that has been reported to us before... sort of a one of thing, which leads me to think that it is something specific to your setup.

let me know

thx

[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
you have to flash HARDSPL to your device before you can update the radio or the winmo rom.

There is a SPECIFIC hardspl for tmo phones... (or rather.. make sure the hardspl you flash to your device is TMO compatible.. because for a while there there was a specific version for TMO branded HD2's)

to get into bootloader mode (forget what you have read already)

battery out.

battery in.

hold vol down. (continue till i say let go)

press power on.

wait till you see a 3 colored screen (red blue green? i think)

let go of vol down.

now plug your device into your usb connection to your pc.

launch the hardspl/radio/or winmo rom update as administrator (vista/win7)

(you may have to disable antivirus or firewall if there are connection issues.)

however. the not getting past 0% thing.. is that you dont have hardspl installed. ;)

some drunk guy

[chattycopemode]

some drunk guy turned through the intersection by my place, took out a lamp standard, right through the fiber node that serve's my whole area, over a newspaper box, and stopped short of a bus stop.

The node tho... the precious NODE! BAH! The cable co has it fixed, but the pedestal is destroyed. we major lucked out. none of the main, distribuion or fiber lines were hit. A couple of times tonight (as they fix it..) they will be taking the node off line which means.. no inet/phone/or cable. So I'm gunna try to get this update done whilst my cable is still on ;) if i dissapear for a while.. thats why.

lots of casheesh gettin paid out to fix that bad boy. police, fire, tow. hydrovac team. maintenance techs. most people have no idea what goes into fixing a smashed ped.. let alone a fiber node. ;)

btw... dont drink and drive.... it could be YOUR services that get hit next time ;)

(i hope that drunk guy lives close so that - hmm.... when he gets out of jail his... you know what.... thats not gonna work... the cable's gonna be fixed tonight... lol ah well it was a good thought)

Is there a way...

...to reboot SD Android without going back through WinMO? i.e. reload it from about the boot animation point. I've tried things like Fast Reboot from the Market but they don't do what I want.

The reason is: sometimes my Exchange email stops syncing and won't work again until I reboot. No connection error, just doesn't sync and doesn't even attempt to do it when you try a manual resync. I suspect it's something to do with the Syncmanager service getting upset sometimes when a data connection drops and reconnects (like in low signal areas) or wifi gets turned on and off. I don't think it's specific to this build either bacause I found this:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11683

I've seen one occasion when my phone has stopped working and then jumped straight to the boot animation... so I wouldn't think it's too difficult to trigger this. Anyone know?

Hey guys i just flashed wp7 and am downloading this build, which i had used before and thought that it was simply awesome and wonderful. But, coming from NAND, i'm used to some things :P. Specially super duper fast boot using crawling's initrd.gz.

I think it would be cool if you (warren and/or cope) edited this initrd to fit the roms needs, and make it SD compatible, since it comes from NAND, for the benefit of this super duper fast booting.

Here it is if you're interested: http://www.mediafire.com/?i2qh2e5s2m7qzm2 (credits to crawlingcity ofc). I'd edit it myself but i lack a linux machine right now.

I wanted to know if it is possible as I am having some sound issues...

When i rebooted into android today morning, the sound was fine on the build, i tested by playing a song, i drove down to office and now I don't have any sound (no reboots). Anyone else have the same issue? Is there something I could try?

And yes, I have one of the recommended versions of Radio and the sound was working fine earlier......

I could try a reboot, but just wanted to report and see if this could be a problem that more users are having.....

Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. MOST of the time, when my phone is in standby, if I press the home button, it wakes immediately and I unlock and we're off to the races. But, sometimes, frequently enough to be annoying, it will remain black, then light up just long enough to decide "hey, I've waited long enough for you to unlock me, so now I'm going back to sleep." When that happens, sometimes it will take several cycles of pressing the home button to finally get it to wake up and remain up long enough to unlock. Ah believe this would be "lag" and I'm just wondering if it is unique to my setup.

Thanks!

[HD2 Android SD Development] wingmann:
Hello all, and thank you in advance for any help in answering a few questions I have. I have been using SENSE builds up to trying this ROM, and so far... I really LIKE it! Thank you, cooks, for your work. Since my experience may be what is lacking in regards to this type of a build, here are my questions -- I hope they are easy ones to answer!

1) The camera seems to be different. Everything works well, but the screen size is smaller. In other words, when using the SENSE builds, when I activated the camera the view filled my WHOLE screen. With this camera, it is more "square" and does not fill the whole screen (widescreen). Can this be changed via settings or a download? I like the widescreen aspect.

2) The SENSE builds have seven screens to work with, while this one has five. Any way to add the other two (or more?)

3) Is there a way to activate PREDICTIVE DIALING when using the phone? I can't find a setting to do that.

4) Most screens don't seem to support any sort of a "pinch to zoom" feature. Is there a setting or way to add this ability to more programs?

5) Should SETCPU be used with this build? I saw in earlier builds that it was suggested to use, but did not see any remark with regards to this in later builds (including this one)?

Again, THANK YOU for your help with answering my questions, and thank you again chefs for your hard work - it is appreciated.
