Regarding poor battery performance, I too thought my battery performance was bad using this build as it has been fine using other builds in the past. With all radios on, I was seeing 60ma usage in standby. Having read some different threads, I now believe this is likely to be a cyanogenmod issue with BT standby. Other users are reporting the same high power consumption for BT standby and switching it off returns me to 6ma usage. Problem solved until addressed in code.

I do still see some strange battery behavior when charging. Using current widget, I see a gradual charge a percentage at a time until I hit 84% where it will stay there for a but then jump straight to 100%. Any ideas what that might be? I tried to recondition the battery in WinMo but that didn't fix it. It's a standard battery by the way.

Oh, I still can't send MMS using this build either. I'm using the recommendations here from other users but using the Orange uk settings to no avail. I will try GoSMS next to see if that helps.

Keep up the good work. It's much appreciated.

Hi all, testing 3/14/11 has been different. Using Tmo build with data.img from 2/14. maybe the builds are significantly different? wouldnt think that much would be different but maybe part of reason some users have issues that others dont.

MMS works for me after enabling then disabling wifi.

Wifi tether works without the adhoc if you uninstall version in this build and use .apk from previous build.

Battery drain below 10 once all radios off and no syncing.

GPS works on multiple uses. I use built in Power widget to enable/disable radios.

will continue feedback as builds get better. :)

Thanks for the awesome build guys. Keep up the great work.

Hi

I have no battery issues with this build. I made a new image file for this one and my battery has been lasting since yesterday morning already (day and a half). It is now on 45% power left.

I have not turned off my GPS and I now get a lock everytime I use my Nav app within a minute.

Used the latest version for the last two days and observed the following:

1. Data Drops - Degrades over time. First hour of use it seems ok, then as the day goes on it gets worse and worse with more disconnects. Thing I can say is something was improved over the last build. You don't have to turn data off and on after a call and data eventually does recover. Build is totally daily usable BUT the data drops/freezes are frustrating. Indicator doesn't just show a data freeze it seems to turn off E/3G then restart. Get a few No Data Connection screens. Then data will eventually return. Several builds including the Desire builds also have this problem. Don't know if the NAND versions have this fixed - hopefully this can be resolved.

2. GPS - SUPER FAST initial connections and it works great. Seems almost perfect.

3. HARD FREEZE / Black screen of DEATH. I've only had this once in months. Had to pull the battery. Never happened again.

Speed and general reliability has been amazing. Keep up the good work.

Boot animations (first screen) & logo.rle

Hi Copes and Warren (and anyone else that can help),

Over the last few days I've been fiddling around with new boot animations within this great build to some impressive effect, if I don't say so myself! Check out this thread, it's as simple as downloading the animation you want, renaming it bootanimation.zip and overwriting the file inside the system/media folder, stunning!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905538&highlight=boot+animation

The next thing I'm trying to change is the green HTC logo that shows on the first screen. I know it's not an important thing but, once I start messing with stuff I like to learn how to do it thoroughly, and I've always wondered if I could change this image if I could!!

I've got as far as learning that it's the logo.rle file with the initrd.gz file (I think!!). I realise that editing this file is not as easy as overwriting it within, say, 7zip as the file seems write protected. Would anyone be able to shed some light on how to do it? I used this tool:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537515

to create the image from the one attached and renamed it logo.rle but I'm not sure if that's correct. Could someone give me the heads up if possible? Let me know.

Thanks in advance

Mobile connectivity problems...

Hi, first of all many thanks for that great and fast ROM! Works flawlessly on my HTC HD2 LEO device with SD image. Now to problems, I have these default settings connecting to my local mobile network with HSPDA, but from time to time it simply stops connecting to internet or resolving DNS or even disconnects. I have an upgraded RADIO version 2.15.50.14 and I don't have connectivity issues under windows mobile 6.5. Any thoughts?

[HD2 Android SD Development] naoussa:
Known issue - the only thing that helps is Reboot. Hope they can fix it on the next Release.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
Another solution is to not turn off the GPS. No difference in the battery.

The problem is when we turn off the GPS. Not turn on again, except if there is a wifi connection or after reboot.

i've a NAND rom HD instaled that makes use of the ext4 partiotion.

Is it possible to run this version via MAGLDR without making use of the same ext4 partition ?

I want to play with both.

Tried that without any change of config.txt and fu%&#ed both the SD and the NAND version.
[HD2 Android SD Development] naoussa:
are you sure? ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
As sure as your spelling. =) In this same thread there have been reports on the negligible impact on battery life, leaving GPS on has... I rarely use GPS so I leave it off. When I actually do enable it and have use wireless networks checked also, I have no issues.

Here is an excerpt from the first post/page. I dunno if this applies exactly to your situation or not but here it is:
[HD2 Android SD Development] eelpout:
Yeah, I hear yah. I'm not clear on this either. Is it safe to assume that people who are getting less than 10 mAh battery consumption overnight are always turning WiFi off? Seems to be the only way I can get anywhere near that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
The difference is too small. 2 days that I did not disable the GPS did not notice any significant difference in consumption.

It is an alternative to restarting if often use navigation.

Of course and I hope to be corrected in the next build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
You guys do know that it takes a few days and a few restarts for the battery consumption to even out and perform at its most efficient level? This build came out 3 days ago.

Cope, Warren feel free to chime in or correct me if I'm wrong, but it should take about a week to get a true representation of your battery levels and capacity.

I am still using Mar12 and I lost about 7% overnight from 1am - 7:30am and I probably left wifi on. I'm kinda sure I turned off data, and I'm kinda sure I turned off auto-sync. I normally leave wifi on since its drain is nowhere near the drain of auto-sync or 3G/H.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Hehe, no problem. I was just being facetious. Notice the smiley face I used? =) But just to help you out, "bad" and "teacher" should not be capitalized and there should be a period after "teacher". Lastly, you should use a predicate to start off your sentence like "I am sorry...". And maybe throw in a comma after "english". :D We wont even get into your quote game...
[HD2 Android SD Development] jpl69:
No, i'm sorry i haven't explain myself correctly.

I want to test this build on my already working nand build microsd card and it has an ext4 partition, the problem is that with this AmericanAndroid it uses the same ext4 partition and messes with the already installed apps and a lot of configuration, so i get a lot of FC runing this.

I just want to disable the use of the existing ext4 partition and just use the img file.

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
So many people seem to have their phone in standby overnight instead of charging it. Why? Charge it overnight and it doesn't matter how high the drain is. Your phone will be fully charged in the morning.

I started doing that the day I got my HD2 and back then I was still using winmo. As long as you don't use your phone as a fancy paperweight but as an actual mobile phone, there is almost no chance it will last a full two days. Not the HD2 anyway. Get a Samsung with a 1500mA battery and a Super AMOLED Display if you want that.

So instead of worrying about the charge all the time and if it will last the rest of the day, I rather start the day with a fully charged battery, knowing it will not run out of power no matter how I use my phone. I don't want to spend my time with planing my phones use, pondering if I can make a call or better not because my battery won't make it, if I do.

This phone features a li-ion battery. It doesn't matter when you charge it. There is no memory effect. It doesn't improve the lifetime of the battery when you only charge it after it has run out of power. It has no ill effect if you plug it in when it still has 80% charge. You don't lose one of the limited charging cycles doing that. Charging it from 90% to 100% 10 times is one cycle.

Have you checked your wifi settings? You can set it to "always on", even in standby that is, which will naturally cause higher drain, or you can set it to "only always on when connected to a charger". As long as it's not connected to a charger, wifi will turn off in standby and come back on when you take your phone out of standby.

Not really.

There are countless guides to be found on xda. If you can't make it happen with that much information you better not try to run anything but stock winmo on your hd2.

1. Download it to PC or mac

2. Extract the files to your storage card

3. Run CLRCAD.exe to get the audio to work

4. Run Haret.exe and wait three minutes

5. To get back to Windows Mobile, soft reset

That's all!!!

Now you will be responsible to answer all his questions that will come up here spaming this thread and that would never have come up if he had had to find out for himself how to do it.

Those posts will spam this thread even more and make it harder for people with real problems that come here for help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Well today I had a 97% before I went to work, then when I got home I had 5%. Time frame: 8:00am - 7:00pm. It is charging now. I think the bunked data on my Mar12th build is what is causing the higher batt drain. Which means I have to get off my lazy ass and upgrade.

For comparison: My holy Feb26 build would leave me with about 30% when I got home from work.

So I will upgrade before I worry about anything battery related from now on.

Latitude/maps issue...

Hey guys.

Still loving the builds - totally looking forward to the new kernel!

Only my 5th post on here (I think) due to my incredible ability to READ THE BLOODY FAQ!!!!

I've got one issue with google latitude that I've not seen on here.

It appears that it doesn't save my settings(?) properly.

Each time I reboot the phone, when I start up latitude, it wants me to agree to the privacy policy, then 'activates latitude on this device'.

Every time.:(

It's obviously not an actual problem as it still works perfectly (I can still remote-stalk my wife ;)) but i was wondering if maybe it's symptomatic of a greater problem.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I'm currently running the 14/3/11 build (bloody yanks - always writing the date the wrong way round!) on magdlr with WP7 (barely used nowadays! Warren, Cope - if (when?) you make a NAND build (please god!) i'm jumping onto that one!) with my 16gb Sandisk class 2 partitioned as: 6.5gb FAT32, 1024mb EXT3, 128mb Linux Swap, WP7 'Other' (in that order).

Did I mention that i bloody LOVE these builds?:D

Cope, Warren - may flowers bloom where you tread, gorgeous tall blondes fall at your feet (especially for you Cope!) and unicorns gaily prance at your approach!
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
you are correct, but I was trying to summarize the prior post which basically said he can't do what he wants to do the way he is partitioned and utilize his ext4 partition... although I will admit I have no idea if it really is actually possible.

Just curious, which build are you running NAND, I am contemplating this, I started playing with this build as a way to play a new game or two, and for the geek factor, as it is just cool to have GB on an old WM phone, especially when people are still rocking 2.1 (Guy today had 1.5!!! Ouch..). I have found myself using it more and more, and WM less and less and am actually thinking about going the all android way, but still think this ROM is by far the best version I have used yet (despite the fact that while I totally believe cope that the data is better then best yet, even though it feels like it dropps more, for which I am blaming T-Mobile for as they really should have data in the subways, so that when I exit I have no dropped data issues) and am thinking about running a similar dual Droid setups
[HD2 Android SD Development] deweylima:
I am running Ultimate Droid by CrawlingCity. Was also running CoreDroid by Sergio for an excellent Sense version.

They are all fantastic. I left Windows mobile and have not looked back. Can't even imagine going back now. Am not even interested in Windows 7.

Even running this build off of the SD card is smooth and fast as can be.

Only minor issue in this build for me is PPP instead of RMNET and that seems to cause occasional data drops (at least for me here onTmobile).

Can't lose with any of the roms. All the various chefs haven't gotten it to the point where our phones are indistinguishable from phones running native android (except that we always have the latest versions of course :).)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
QFT.... I rarely use WinMob at all. I like this sd rom stuff because I never had to flash anything on my phone to get to where I'm at running this build. The closest thing I came to a flash was upgrading to the official 3.14 firmware.

Icalled in today and told them that my hd2 was having charging issues the made sure I was under warrenty and said ok here is a new battery no questions asked and they didn't ask for the old one back so if your hd2 is about a year old call in get a brand new spare at no charge.

[HD2 Android SD Development] biosensorben:
if it has suddenly come on, after everything has been fine, I'd suspect your mobile provider - maybe they've taken a tower out for maintenance?.

However which build are you using because there are some known data issues with some of the more recent builds - although 'the gods (cope and warren)' fixed them in the 14/3 release, and I'm assuming they are still fixed in the new release.

I'd suggest updating to the most recent build as fault finding on previous builds just isn't going to happen - with everything cope and warren have done, it isn't as painful a process as it used to be.
