deep into the "wired tether" history

1. Wired Tether is perfectly work with XP on the another mod's (I was test this on "Nexus" & "Jaguar" mods, for example)

2. Wired Tether not work in the AmeriCanAndroid (see logfile inside Wired Tether App - network init fail)

Any issues?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
At one point it was but with all the rollbacks, I'm not sure if it is still included. I would love some information on this also.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Actually, I prefer to fix it by disabling the screen turning off while charging. That way, Wifi stays on when charging and when not charging and the screen is off, wifi will be off, saving battery. You can change the screen behavior under Applications | Development | stay awake.

I don't use BT, but I tried tytung's kernel with the 0620 build and the combination was excellent. Obviously, it cured the FC/Wait issues at the time, but there was also a constant low battery drain on standby. Not as low as Warren's, but without the spikes.

I installed skype on 0630 build and was immediately hit with FC/Waits. FC wasn't necessary, but the waits were very long, making the app unusable. I installed the tytung kernel to test and skype works perfectly.

Warren, I hope the above info is of some use to your kernel development.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
The responsiveness of the build is great. To clarify on the tethering... which direction are you going? I am going to test xp computer using phone data - wired - at lunch. I'll test wireless connectivity at home tonight. I haven't noticed "handoff" problems between wifi and data, but will check. FYI - I don't typically start with anything disabled and I haven't noticed data or wifi problems. I'll also keep track of battery issues. On a recent build I did notice the phantom 60 Ma issue. I may uninstall led me know since cmod seems to have successfully addressed the led issue. I don't have other notification programs. The problem with unanticipated 60 Ma drain is your battery gets eaten up 10 times faster than you expect. If you constantly use an application where you know it will eat that much (i.e. always-on BT), then you will need to plan for this by either bump charging or extended batteries. I don't really see that as a build issue.

Wired tether story again

Just i know (or think that I know), why not worked Wired Tether

(while tethering on - in the log I see: "Configuring network interface... failed")

PLEASE switch on this abilities:

/sys/devices/virtual/net/usb0/enable

/sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/rndis/enable

PLEASE!PLEASE!PLEASE!
[HD2 Android SD Development] gpietron:
as mentioned, tested it [2-way call recording] today without success. That's the only reason keeping me from switching over :-(

If it [2-way call recording patch] was included at some time, there is hope ...

0630 build experience

Installed 0630 build with a new data image on 8GB ADATA class6 formatted (fat32/swap)...reinstalled all my apps thru market....everything seems to be smooth except the 60mah battery drain which remains constant on standby with everything off and no notification pending....

With the same config and apps installed on 0604 build on 8gb kingston class4 i was getting 5mah-7mah on standby...the problem on 0604 build was that during a phone call the screen did not use to wake up immediately after moving it away from the ear....this problem is solved on 0630 build

Could this be the rom, kernel or sd card?

Some1 help me with this 1....

Thanx
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It will be neither of those things. Some suggestions for getting rid of the dreaded battery drain are

toggle bluetooth on/off

Reboot

Run Battery Calibration in full (involves charging fully, allowing battery to drain and then charging to full uninterrupted)

There are numerous other suggestions in the thread...
[HD2 Android SD Development] benjieb:
Odd timing but false alert. No data had nothing to do with Rom/build... my operator had changes the "name" of the data network with out notice.

Now everything works GREAT. Thanks so much fot great Rom and fanrastic 0630 build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
The new skype edition (it was 200045) works on 0630 without problem. So not kernel related.

Check bckgrnd apks.

I was wrong .it was the special edition by ipaq. And works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
And the special one is here ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheNT:
I love android but at the same time I hate it cause of this :)

I will open a bottle of good wine to celebrate when this will be i solved section.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
My link was the special one :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I quoted a link to the modded edition that allows video calls. Perhaps you would care to try that one before making such a sweeping statement. The latest edition is now 200047.

Which "bckgrnd apks" should I be checking? What should I be checking for? and why?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sassa:
I'm afraid this is just wishful thinking, Uz. We are all here because we respect C&W work, but something is gone wrong with latest builds. Personally I have 5mA until first call after reboot, then it's constantly 60mA on idle.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
I'm not finding the mA readings to be very reliable, looking at the % drain, I now have an excellent 2%/hour (over 10 hours) vs 5% with the previous builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sassa:
Agree with you about mA readings, but it's nice as quick indicator. BTW, mine dropped from 100% to 83% in 3 last hours without any activity on phone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] adell_:
Updated to JUN30 but got crackly sound issue after playing music for a while. Reverted back to JUN5 build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] general1977:
The mA readings are very reliable. In fact the percentages are way off very often. I've had several cases where the phone shut off by itself and the percentage was still in the twenties (=needed calibration). The percentage is a "rough" guess by the phone. The current (mA) is actually measured and not only estimated.

Regards

Achim
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This doesn't mean anything. Would you be happy if it had dropped from 90% to 83% in this time frame?

If you leave your phone on charge it will charge up to 100% and then keep reading 100% while it falls back to 90% before charging again.

This is to preserve the life of the battery as the worst state for life of the battery is 100% charged and a reason why bump charging is a battery killer.

Data issues finally forced me to open my mouth

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker here. I've been using ACA since March. I think it's the best build out there.

There is a very annoying problem, and I know it's Android on HD2 in general. My data connection keeps dropping, more or less frequently depending on the version. Sometimes I have full bars and a data connection with H and for no reason, I will lose it even though the signal still shows full bars. Sometimes, I lose the signal completely.

I don't expect any miracle cures but wanted to probe the pool of wisdom from the ACA users here for any tips/tricks for improving data consistency. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I love my phone but this issue keeps it from being a useable phone at times.

I have TMOUs stock Winmo ROM 3.14.531.1 with 2.15.something radio. I don't use MAGLDR, just boot from SD after booting Winmo.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
If a stable data connetction is so important to you, that a loss of connection makes the phone unusable for you, you should either stick with winmo or get a genuine Android phone.

Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything like that.

I really mean it.

Android on the HD2 is still a experimental thing and always will be no matter how usable it feels.

You could try using other builds that may deliver a more stable connection and probably have other issues instead. Maybe those issues are not as important for you and you can live with them.
[HD2 Android SD Development] misalies:
Thanks for the quick reply. I completely understand what you are saying. I know it's take it or leave it but I chose to do this because I like messing with things. If I had any coding skills, I would contribute too.

I'm not making any demands; just wanted to see if my experience was on par with everyone else and to see if anyone had any ideas.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chaos_slo:
Exact the same thing by me. I have a clean install ,fresh data img. Before first call battery drainage is constantly at 5mah. Than after first call it goes and stays at 60 mah. Everything else work perfect ......EVERYTHING WORKS (BT,WIFI,data,........,)

Is this battery calibration tip solving the problem for someone. ...?¿¿???
[HD2 Android SD Development] gargon01:
+1. I mentioned this earlier today.
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyedwards007:
Hi All,

Just to confirm bt is now working for me on this latest build after not working on the last one.

Early observations, very smooth and quick and for me no f/c so far! Used new data image on this one and formatted sd card (16gb class 4) after having used data image from 28/29th? April. Thanx to all for this great build :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Battery calibration has nothing to do with your problem and it won't solve it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Ok. first report back... on tethering. Sharing phone data via WiFi worked fine with xp computer. But, sharing phone data via usb tethering on xp did not. I was able to see the card on xp. Switched that off but the Usb tethering bar reads usb not connected. I have previously been able to share via usb/xp, but its been awhile because I can use wifi... not sure why Android is not detecting the usb connection.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sassa:
Continued:

Rebooted phone, no calls for two hours, 4-5 mA, dropped just 2%.

I have made a call to my fixed phone. Few times not answering and it stayed on 5 mA after hungup. Then I answered on fixed phone and it went to 60+ mA on idle.

[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
So I updated a little while ago. Everything is very smooth. Glad everything is up-to-date now!

One quick question, I've seen some really neat MIUI lock screens and was wondering if there is a way to port them to our amazing ROM.
[HD2 Android SD Development] manoruz:
If you have volume issues like me - READ THIS POST!!

I know Uzi, you would think right? But if you checked - its among one of the things that wasn't marked as resolved on the tickets.

Aaaanyway (I know JustX is gonna love this!!)

That link got me thinking see, so I took that loud Desire Build I was telling everyone about - got in and extracted the htcleo.acdb file see, went into my 6/30 American Android installation,

got into etc/firmware/ - deleted the default.acdb file in there, pasted the htcleo.acdb in there then renamed it to default.acdb,

also in

system/etc/firmware/ - did the same deleted the default.acdb file pasted the extracted htcleo.acdb file, renamed it to default.acdb. - (all this using root explorer of course)

rebooted!!! ;)

:eek: LO AND BEHOLD no more DSP Manager needed(like seriously).

My HD2 loudspeaker sounds a whole lot better I tell you guys!! :cool:

For those who are willing to try I'm attaching the extracted file

Please note -I am attaching it ALREADY RENAMED - so all you have to do is simply copy it to

etc/firmware/ and

system/etc/firmware/

then reboot.

[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Good stuff manoruz. I'll check it out in a bit.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Nice one, mate !!!

It is a bit louder now. I still want it even louder but this is better than original.

Cheers
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
Okay, I'm always ready to be adventurous. Backed up the original default.acdb files, followed procedure above --> It seems louder and clearer, but it could be just in my head. lol :D

Anyway, currently rocking 06302011 AmeriCanAndroid. Everything is fast, responsive and stable for my use. Thanks to Cope, Warren and the ACA testers! ;)

On another note, I think everyone needs to ease off on Sprintusa. He hasn't made his posts sound like advertisements lately as he was originally reprimanded for. Sure, I have Netflix and you can say I am biased but I think his occasional posts have been more helpful than some of the recent ones lately. If Cope and Warren want him to stop posting his Netflix updates, then I have nothing further to say. What you don't need may be what others are looking for. Any support to ACA is always appreciated by me. Just a thought. :cool:

60ma standby after call made is back
[HD2 Android SD Development] joyqing:
+1 me too, sometimes even 200+ma:confused::confused::confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] arugess:
I'm wondering how is "battery drain is XX mAH after call" is going to help the developers figure out what is wrong.

Wouldn't supplying some sort of log be more constructive?

e.g. what events are triggered, what services are running, are there any services that get triggered after a call?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrchloo:
60ma standby is back .0630 build
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
I agree it is alot louder. Thanks for the insight!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Had a strange problem, here with 0630, no audio at all. A reboot took care of it!
[HD2 Android SD Development] retsam88:
VPN is working finally, thank you!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I used the android\root method to do this. Only the system/etc is needed, so it is...

root\system\etc\firmware\default.acdb

The sound is hugely improved and not only gains in volume, but also loses that tinny quality.

Great find manoruz.

Cope, please add this to the build
[HD2 Android SD Development] tamirl:

ORIGINAL default.acdb

Just a question, was that not the file that was involved in the robot voice issue back in the froyo days?

This was always the absolute worst bug I ever encountered on Android (ok, maybe SOD isnt that cool either), so I really would not want that back...

I have backed mine up just in case, find it attached.

Bugreport. Tethering BUG, long unhappy story

This old issue, I don't know why "they" dont't fix it.

Problem in the Android kernel, not in the XP.

(Must be this (now absent):

/sys/devices/virtual/net/usb0/enable

/sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/rndis/enable

)

Look (wia Root Explorer) this things:

/sys/devices/virtual/net/usb0/

/sys/devices/virtual/usb_composite/rndis/

If You see this - You so lucky. Elsewhere - Kernel build "incorrectly" for You (without properly switches for usb tethering support).

Also You can see source of wired tether for deeper knowns about problem.

see place here http://android-wired-tether.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/native/tether/tetherStartStop.cpp

with text

"Configuring network interface"

If the kernel not build with rndis && net.usb0 support - You always see

"Configuring network interface... failed" in the logfile in the wired tether.

I'm unable to report about this problem to developers long time. If You can - do anything :)

UPD:

Kernel must be correctly set options:

CONFIG_USB_USBNET

CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER

CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST

really with seth and amy.

thats all i needed to hear.. im done dealing with this issue. if you want to run wp7 on your phone then you dont get all the benefits of the bkup2sdext. there. easy peasy. not discriminating against.. just dont want to be the cause of anyone losing their wp7 install.

just about ready to upload a new build
[HD2 Android SD Development] nzxtneo:
haha, thanks bru :p

bdaboy338, it sounds like you set your partitions incorrectly.

You have probably already watched it before, but watch it again to see what step you might of missed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHRAUHZHlo&feature=related
[HD2 Android SD Development] bdaboy338:
there's nothing wrong on the windows side. Its just since I made the partitions every time I boot Android it starts from fresh. It worked fine before I did the Linux and ext4 partitions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bdaboy338:
I'll check it out, thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
So with the new build, if I'm using magldr, it won't use the ext3 partitions at all? So I shouldn't bother setting up the partitions? Or will it still use the ext3 partition and just not have some features. The linuxswap partition will still work, right?

Sorry for the noob questions... I'm still reading up about this build and about the extra partitions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boxchevy:
Hi all, I haven't posted in a bit. Just lurking in the shadows. :P Have been upgrading each build as they come out (T-MO versions). Just wanted to say THANKS for continuing the development and support of the builds. I have not been having the issues reported by the other people maybe because I just use standard loading of Android from my SD card and no extra partitions and same data image from the 14th. Only issue I really have currently is data drops and not reconnecting but I think that is more on my end than the build as I seem to hit a lot of areas that it drops even in win mo. It does reconnect at times but I have yet to determine what the differences are when it happens. The other 2 things you guys said you would work on so no rush by me. :) I just don't want you guys to get discouraged by people with same questions over and over without actually trying to look for the answer or catching attitudes because something didn't go just right. So please keep up the hard excellent work because there are A LOT of us that appreciate it.

Thanks again.

Partitions revisited

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK - PARTITIONS REVISITED

Sorry for pictures, not having Visio in home computers is a pain in the ass...

Not using W7 or MAGLRD ... so no real testing.

FAQ updated

and

[HD2 Android SD Development] naturesbless:
I just realized that if everyone is annoyed with Button Savior, before you install the new update, go into the Android folder and delete the "SWKey11.apk" from AndroidApps. It'll never install.

Now, if Cope decides to remove it with this update then there's no problem. But if you hate it that much just delete that from the AndroidApps folder before running Android for the first time with the new update.

You'l never see it. Ever.

+1 lOving long living buttons on my hd2 ;-)

...to put some oil in the fire: what about 140 density ;-)))

played around with the app "lcddensity" - You can see the whole settings-menu on 1 screen - fabulous! unfortunately the text in xda is "a bit" too small for long reading, so anyone knows, if theres really a menusetting, where the only the fonts can be made bigger - I didnt find such ?

nevertheless - when You return after that impression to 180 - it's like for every "normal" people with 240, I guess ;-)))))

as now creating a new data.img doesnt mean restore manually - what about the "startup.txt"-parameter data_size for eg 512M ? :D

tnx 4 Your great ROM ! cheers 2b2b
[HD2 Android SD Development] nzxtneo:
Geez Docent, could you of made your instructions anymore convoluted???

Why not just say the WP7 partition has to be 4th (last) or bkup2sdext may not work right?

The partition highlighted in blue is the WP7 build...
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
I don't know how many times it was stated in 3 different forums threads. But one thing I know for sure - there ALWAYS will be someone uhappy with something.

To small, to big, to fast, to slow, to wide, to sparse ....

And you're not correct - there are at least 3 scenarios where AmeriCan WILL work with some of it's feature unlock.

Just read, or look carefuly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
The WP7 partition always goes at the end... that's the only way dualbooting will work, I think. I haven't put in my ext3 partition and linuxswap in yet... was holding off because it was sounding like there are problems using it with magldr since copenhagen said he was disabling it in magldr version of next build... but I'm gonna try doing it now and seeing if it works. Like you're saying, it seems like it should work the same because the wp7 partition is at the end and most things treat it like it's not even there because it's an unknown partition... so it shouldn't effect the android partitions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Yes it's correct. But, there are plenty of poeple who are making wm7 partition at the beginig of sd card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nzxtneo:
By the way, for anyone wanting to

dual boot WP7 and Android

, while having a larger partition for Android...Here you go (finally!!!):

(I created a 4gb WP7 build and the rest allocated to Android)

Copy everything in this vid exactly!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHRAUHZHlo

(I used an 8gb SD card for this step)

Then connect the 8gb SD and a 16gb SD to a computer via card readers. (Yes this will be a 2 SD card process)

Open EASEUS Partition Master

Delete any partitions on the 16gb SD so that it reads as unallocated

Hit apply

Right click the unformatted partition of the 8gb SD and select copy

Move the unformatted partition to the larger unallocated SD card

Drag the 4gb partition all the way to the right

Hit apply

(Please note the move step will take a long time)

The unallocated partition is now ready for you to format for use with Android :cool:

Then follow the “Partitions in Windows” step located in FAQ to setup bkup2sdext:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/...UDUaP7GfZk909nNCc/edit?hl=en&authkey=CLDJw80N
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Does it work like that? I was under the impression that if the wp7 partition was first, then you wouldn't have access to your fat32 partition from your pc because it would be the 2nd primary partition, and only the first primary partition is accessed when a flash card is partitioned. Never tried it though, so I could be wrong.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nzxtneo:
I didn't say the AmeriCanAndroid build won't work, I said the bkup2sdext feature may not work right.

People have reported issues with bkup2sdext while dual booting WP7 and Android and incorrect partitioning is probably causing it. Plus you even said your not using WP7 or MAGLDR.

So just read, or look carefuly...
