possible, but I have set the swipe actions to "nothing" and it still happened to me. Also the pattern for the disappearance seamed clear (swipe up) but the reappearing was more random than anything else...

Anyhow, applying my settings above gets completely rid of this (useless?) behaviour :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
not sure why this happened. the backup funciton should be seemless.. no user interaction required.

i do NOT think that fix permissions messed up anything.. didnt you ask me that b4? its not messing anything up.

hmmm you can always try the following also.

in terminal

su

cp -r /sd-ext/app/* /data/app

(if you get lots of FC's) you can also try to remove both

rm -r /data/data

and

rm -r /sd-ext/data

reboot

by removing the data folders you will lose your user and app data.... (basically starting fresh with all app and settings)
[HD2 Android SD Development] newcountry:
I can sure everytime the data lost after reboot, because no data folder under the sd card. I've try to install another apps called fancy widgets, this time all the skins are installed under ://Android/data/ but this data folder also lost after reboot.

battery problems

from now on when you post about bad battery life,

please post a screen shot of

settings->about phone->battery use->click the graph at the top.

12 hrs+ no charging since 8pm yesterday

looks fine for battery life to me?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
this is what I am trying to explain to you.....

there is not supposed to be an /sdcard/data OR /sdcard/android/data folder!

these are created in error by apps. They are supposed to be creating their

data folders in /data/data (which is different then /sdcard/data or /sdcard/android/data)

this build MOVES /sdcard/data AND /sdcard/android/data to /data/data

which is contained inside your data.img

your data is not lost, its just getting moved to the proper place.

if you dont believe me, navigate to /data/data and look for yourself.

i suggest if you want to get at stuff, dont save it in a folder called /sdcard/data,

or /sdcard/android/data/ otherwise it gets moved.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
I did ask you that indeed but you replied something like "I love you guys..." :D

I dont say that I do not believe you, this is merely what I have experienced, I had a random reboot after everything was ok for a few days, I ran fix permissions as per your post, I rebooted the phone after completion and woke up in FC hell.

Then I rebooted again, nothing was better.

Then I deleted data.img and hoped that it would be created with all my apps as by then I was still using my partitioned SD card but it was the same as when I start fresh (formated SD).

Anyhow, since I now discovered that my SD must have been faulty (I am on another one now for several days with not one problem / random reboot) it could also be that that was the case.

GPS_ZONE setting ?

Hi, sorry bit new to android, please can someone tell me in the startup.txt file the GPS Zone is currently set to US. I am in the UK, do I need to change this and if so what is the setting for england is it "en" or "uk" or something else ?

Thanks

Wifi Tether

Since this version have anyone experience connection problems with tethering?

Work in the last version but not in this one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] newcountry:
Sorry for my poor english, I still don't understand. I want to make something clear.

1) The skins are not installed under /sdcard/data, I mean inside my sd card have a folder "data" and folder "Android", that means if my sd card is drive G show in my computer, then the skins are inside G://data/beautifulwidgets or G://Android/data/fancywidget.

2) The data folder is not created by myself, it created by the applications. So if I change it to another name, all the skins will lost.

3) I found many applications also require to create files under G://Android/data, such as "FIFA 10", "PES2011"...etc

4) My data.img is 1GB, and now it only got 64Mb left. It seems all the files under G://Android/data and G://data are moved to the data.img, same as what you mentioned.

5) So finally, what can I do? If the data folder moved to data.img, for me it same as lost, because I can't found the previous data folder in the "ES file explorer" after reboot, applications lost all the necessary files under the data file.

6) How can I enlarge the data.img or delete the moved files inside the data.img?
[HD2 Android SD Development] siddharth singh:
can u please tell me in bit more detail :p :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You can do that with ES File Explorer. There is a sd card icon in the upper left corner. Tab it and it will change into an icon depicting a little house. You are now looking at the content of the data.img.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You should change it to "gb". It'll make first sat fix happen faster.

If you leave it at "us" it'll get a sat fix too, but it will take a while.

If it's an empty space, then you are not making best use of it. You can drag your apps here, so you can access them from every page.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
Fix!

To solve this problem if you're using fancy widgets, there is an option in Advanced tab that enables the skins to saved in a different place and stays after reboot. Once you're there, scroll down all the way to the bottom and check "Enable Skin Cache" and now it will stay after reboot. :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
It will make no change, as cope sad same pages back, this build dont use gps_zone from startup.txt, only gps.conf from etc directory.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
Could this explain why Power Amp always crashes on reboot? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks for the explanation!
[HD2 Android SD Development] newcountry:
Thanks for your suggestion. But many other applications don't have this function, so how can I stopped this build to move the data folder to data.img?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Maybe because it works fine for me and I dont use a partitioned setup.

[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
If your Android folder is called "Android folder" then it wont boot up properly. It

MUST

be named "Android" with a capital. And if have you tried connecting to another network to see if you can download things from the market? I seems like maybe your current network is blocking the markets ports and you're unable to download. And you don't really need to remove ADW Launcher, simply go to the market and download Launcher Pro, install it and press the home button. It will now ask you which you want to use for home and you choose Launcher Pro and check "Default" and it will take you to your new home screen!
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
You would have to ask the Dev's if there is a way since i do not know how :p

Complimeti to build :p

I only have a problem

I read the FAQ but there is no solution

every time you restart the LED light stays on

use LED ME ....... but nothing

I have to put in office the LEO and disappears after

no solution :(

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
If it bothers you that much download LED me know beta from the market. Yes apon install it will stop the LED. But after another reboot it will stay on. Only fix is to uninstall LED me know beta and install again. But i hear some claim to have shorter battery life with it on so it at your own risk. Now the simplest fix there is to plug the phone to the battery charger, wait for it to turn orange, and unplug.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
LED is on after reboot but if you start LED me know manually it will stop till next boot.

No need to reinstall the app. Just start it.

I've used LED me know for a long time now and at least for me it has no negative impact on battery life.
[HD2 Android SD Development] toma62:
ok I use LED ME know

but led on every reboot

I know how to remove it but it is inconvenient

you can not find a definitive solution?

is a problem for all
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Again.

Start the LED me know app after each reboot.

It works for me. I can't see why it shouldn't work for you.

And no, there is no other solution for this except LED me know and plugin the charger into your phone.

We have to wait until cyanogenmod team will solve this problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pringaguardias:
Check the APN. You will have an APN for internet and another for MMS. In the Internet APN have to put in APN type: default,supl. In the MMS APN APN type you what you should leave blank. Try it and you tell me:)

Or you could just use faster fix free from the market and this then lets you change it :-)

[Q] density dialer/apps - ON/OFF command

I have a two questions/problems:

1- in the 180 lcd density, some applications will appear in 240 density.

for example:

the phone dialer and "led me know" don't fill up in 180 density(it stays in 240 density) . Is there a solution for?

2- Is it possible to change the command for the on/off (red phone) button, because now when you are on the phone you can't end the conversation with it, and it will go to the lock-screen.

I hope someone can help me with is. Thnx

For the record. I really like this build (user from build 03-05-11). I can do around 36 hours at normal use. It way faster than other sd builds (for the one's i tested). I takes a few reboots to make it stable. After that only big :D:D:D:D:D

Thnx for the good work. Keep it up guy's

Bluetooth Stereo Controls

Using the latest build (3/20) and still not able to control bluetooth stereo. Can control volume only. Forward, back, pause etc do not work.

Was this part of the AVRPC changes?

Love this build. Last night on standby I only lost 1% percent battery life per hour. AMAZING!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
Cope said he was working on this missing feature. [2 versions earlier].

I'm waiting for his next step.

The 2 remaining issues I'd encounter still are data drops [even the RAM is high] and the MMS which not work properly.

Otherwise, I can't mesure my battery drainin', I'm a big "battery-phage" [video, bluetooth, musics, mails, net, games, SMS, calls, etc…].
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
@ moving data folder people.

remove /system/etc/shutdown.d/01cleanup

this should let you test without the /folder move fenabled.

let me know if this works for you..

however like i said.. app's should be writing their user data to /data/data

not someotherplace/data email the app writers and give them **** about this.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
For all of the original thinkers that feel that their battery life sucks:

Download Circle Battery. When you tap the widget you can view a listing of which services take up what percent of battery usage

Download Current Widget. It has a freaking chart function that uses the logs to show you usage patterns.

You should be able to figure it out.

Rom works for me. MMS is fine except for the known filesize issue with tmobile. Data is more or less reliable. Personally I wouldnt notice if this thread didnt have 10 users a day complaining(whining?) about it. Battery life is stabilizing still but I can almost last a whole work-day with moderate to heavy use.

This proximity sensor "lag" drives me mad

Ok, here is my problem.

I'm using the last build (March 20th), which I think is awesome (I'm using AmericanAndroid since Feb 16th build).

The only thing I'd like to change is the proximity sensor setting while in call.

The problem is that every time I'm calling someone, and especially when I'm calling a number and I have to select a number on the keypad while in call (you know, stuff like "if you'd like to know blah blah blah, press 1"), the screen turns OFF, and it seems there is a "lag" before the screen turns ON... maybe 3 to 5 sec before it turns ON, so usually I don't have the time to type the number I'd like.

Before this build, I used to install StayAwake app so the screen won't turn OFF while in call, but it doesn't work now while in call... I tried to uninstall/reinstall the app, but still doesn't work while in call.

I if understand well, it is the proximity sensor that is in charge of the screen turning off/on while in call, right ?

Is there a way to modify that ? or an app ? a script (with GScript Lite) ?

(I've also tried the "keep screen awake" in the call settings menu).
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
HEY! Power Amp works now! Kinda, i need to clear its data before i can use it but it sure beats the hell of downloading it again!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
The data drop issue is not a problem for everyone, just like the antenna gate for iPhone users [for comparison].

But the problem is real for a "few" and some give their theory about the lost connection [RAM under 155Mo, switch between 2G and 3G or Wifi and 3G., or just from a non-covert network zone to a covert network zone, etc…].

If the problem concerns less than 10 people, so it pleases to Cope & Warren to stop working on this "problem".
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Do you do that often?

A workaround could be to not put it to your ear but use the speaker on the back or a headset.

I don't have noticeable lag. Screen turns on immedeatly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
Try Screebl. It's amazing. Although I have not yet used it on my hd2, it is flawless on my galaxy s.

BTW, you'll have to tweak a part of the settings to get it to work. PM me if you really want to give this app a shot.

The Battery drain is high in this Build :-(

Last good battery life I have on this build: 03/05/11 - Update
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pieksjoemanne:
After a few reboots the battery drain get stable. I have build 03/20 and i can do about 36 hours on 1 battery. Sync every hour (when i sleep disabled), GPS on, data on(when i sleep disabled), bluetooth off and WIFI off (only when i need i higher data connection).

I hope this helps for you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] willflint:
Are you manually changing the states of those items, or do you have an app that can turn them off at specific times. I THINK I have heard of an app that can do that, but I need some recommendations.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pieksjoemanne:
you can enable quiet hours, there you can set the notification to enable/disable the sound/vibrate functions.

I didn't found a function/app that disables settings such ass data/wifi etc. I turn them manual off. You can custom set the notification buttons in the top drawer, where you can quick access them to disable them.

Maybe i good idea to put such a function in this build for the future. +1
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Oh, there are definitely niche groups of people with real issues. But the whiners overshadow them. The ones that blame every lost connection on the build and not the 14 tunnels they drive through on their way home from work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
1. My problem is the opposite of Pieksjoemanne's. I would like to know how you made the dialer and led me know app 240 density. I am using 180 and prefer to continue using it, however I want to know to change an app to 240 because I want Fancy Widgets to look normal instead of the distortedness using the 180 lcd.

2. Try Screebl or any screen awakening app. There's one thing you'll need to tweak once you open the app but you'll figure it out in no time. If not, PM me.

Also, why is my standby battery drainage 57-59 ma? I see this from currentwidget and my battery is starting to reflect it. I lose 1% every 10min.

Try Tasker. One of my favorite apps for automating behavior based on time or events
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pieksjoemanne:
I mean the hardware button (the 5 button's under the screen) and then the one on the right. Is it possible to set it for just end call during calling mode?

Can you change the size for app/dailer (see pictures) with the 180 density?

Hi all -

I'm on a business trip to Chicago and until this trip and build I did not notice the data drop issue. Here though, although I should have and do have good reception, I've had serious loss of connectivity. Ironically, GPS worked.

So, I'm not sure which is the problem, build or location.

Regarding battery life, sometimes standby life is superb. I am wondering about a battery user. I see two phone applications - I think it's phone idle and standby. Battery consumption seems much higher when they are both listed. Any idea why there are two and how to control this?

Thanks,

Kris

Call it what you want, but it seems that ppp is not working flawlessly.

This is a great build overall, other than the fact that my data connection keeps dropping. And than, it takes me at least 5-15 minutes to go through the settings and registering on the network again... event than, not even that always helps. Sometimes, have to restart android which take s awhile. I am using HD2 with NRG ROM on T-mobile.

If ppp is flawless on this build, what do I need to do to fix this?

Very good build but battery drain

Hello Americandroid,

A big thanks for this new build, very good with a lot of application working now.

My only problem is battery drain: i have no chart but for two days it decrease about 6%/hour:it's too much.

Everyone with the same issue, i've desintall a lot of application, and i have task manager to kill auto application but it's the same.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You are using an sd build. If you want to check, you could always boot up winmo and find out how the reception is, there.

Or even install a second Android, from a different dev, if you want to compare connectivity on different Android builds.

The new startup animation is beautiful.

I'm a little confused about backing up and restoring from the ext3 partition: I formatted mine before updating to 20/03 with a new data.img and restored my apps after the first boot using Titanium Backup. After switching off the device I expected all of my apps to be backed up to the clean ext3 partition but viewing /sd-ext doesn't show a data folder, there's only a /sd-ext/app, /sd-ext/dalvik-cache and a /sd-ext/lost+found folder.

Am I missing something obvious or barking up the wrong tree here?

Also having an issue with some apps that the data is being moved on shutdown. It's fair enough to say that the devs should put data in the correct location, but realistically emailing them doesn't always get you a response. Have deleted the cleanup file and will see how it goes.

have you had reboots on other versions of this build too or only the last one or is this the first AmeriCanAndroid build you are using?

I have had reboots too and found out that it was SD card related as I tried with a standard 2GB SanDisk and had no problems whatsoever.

However, I was on Froyo CM6 with my other SD card and also never had any problems so I think it is safe to say that somehow the tolerance in this build is not as high as in others in regards to SD card problems. But this may be a GB, a CM7 or any other issue that is out of the devs control, I do not know...
