same here but i have noticed this in the past even when using WinMo. Seems as though it starts off fine then the longer the video the more lag it has.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
People, you can't possibly have an accurate idea of battery drain for this latest release. You need time for the release to settle and this was released last night. Smh...

Sent from my Gingerbreaded HD2...
[HD2 Android SD Development] alpinemobile:
Same here, although in windows the lag is not as big as with americanandroid.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jake Bullit:
+1 for the video.ok for about 2 mins then the lag kicks in.
[HD2 Android SD Development] alpinemobile:
On a ~10 minute video, the sound is compressed in the first ~9minutes and the last minute has no sound.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
ahhhh, I thought this was just me.. maybe something to do with write times to the sdcard?
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
As you might recall I had a similar problem, started with MAY19 build if I am not mistaken. The only thing that helped was to uninstall k-9 as it caused some very bad batt usage spikes and hourly drain.

Interestingly, it was also Android-System that was shown as my top drainer, not k-9 (occasionally wasn't even in the list). Might be that k-9 tries to check for mails and then the combination of k-9 and system causes crazy drains (10% per 15 mins easily, no interaction with the phone). Since I have uninstalled k-9 it got dramatically better. But still from time to time the system awakes and jumps to the top of drain causers. On other days its not even double digit... :confused:

Anyhow, I have a feeling that the new kernel is better in regards of drain, since I installed it yesterday my drain looks pretty good although Android-System is at the top again. I am still at 63% after 7h56mins and with the display running for one hour in total.

Drainers are:

Android-System 41%

Cell-Standby 24%

Telephone idle 21%

Calls 7%

Wlan 5%

Display 4%

On my brothers NAND build on HD2 (CM7 2.3.4) and my gfs cm7 port (also 2.3.4) on defy, display is the main drain causer, same as I remberd it to be for me in the past. Doesn't seem to be a general cm7 2.3.4 issue, might have to do with us running the build from sd?

How did you determine that?

when I enter "free" in terminal I always get different readings for the space that is used in swap, tried it several times just now.

If you set it up same as in the FAQ just without step 2 for ext it should work, at least here it does.

hello.Latest kernel from 26.5 seems to be compiled as nand kernel.Ι have in nand a sense 2.1 rom and in sd american android.with latest kernel-build when i start it,it loads again nand build instead of american android but if i go to settings i see that the kernel is root-warrenb instead of rafpigna and of course i have no wifi and no american android...with previous version i hadnt this problem
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thanks for the info. I am not even sure I have a K-9 app. Which app is that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
A new mail app that's reportedly much better than the stock one. I never used it personally but others seem to like it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
It really is way better than the stock mail app.

You can set which folder is to be used as Trash, sent and so on, so you dont for example end up with 2 trash folders, one called "Deleted Items" and the other one "Trash".

Also what I really hate with the stock mail app is that you cant see all the recipients of a mail if there are several (I believe it must be more than 4. like with every status report in every company that has more than 4 people...), how could that happen?

I would really love to have k-9 back, but battery drain is more important than convenient mail reading ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Oh I see. I don't have that app so I really have no idea what is causing the outage. Thanks anyway but am back to the previous build for now.

I have just upgraded to the May 26th build. It was taking a bit longer than usual (hanging twice on HTC logo, FCing ROM Manager, FCing Launcher) but finally I managed to upgrade successfully

My old March data.img is still IN :D

Now, I will go back to a question I asked long time ago. No one wanted to help me because of the nature of the Q.

Maybe now, someone could enlighten me on the following subject:

I want to change the first boot logo (green HTC) to logo of my company. I tried using Boot Logo Changer to no avail (looks like it is for Droid only). Can someone help me to do it?

Thanks

I use K9 mail and it is "THE" best mail client ever.

Unfortunately , it doesn't drain battery, it HAWKS IT. BIG TIME, as stated by the previous member, I witnessed similarly, around 1% every 2-3min which is around 10% every 30min.

But I can't live without it, I get too many emails.

What you can do is decrease send/receive time from 5min to 30min or 1hour (but that defeats the purpose of getting your mail instantly).

So you will have to know which to sacrifice. Battery or Email.

I chose battery, so I always charge my phone every 3hours (either car or home or friend's bb charger at their house).

Also have a spare battery in pocket always

sms issue

sms gets disappearing after every reboot....I am facing this problem in 21st and 26th build....never had this problem in earlier builds...I have fat32/ext3/linux swap partition...other than that everything is smooth....

Ne1 else facing this problem or ne solutions?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Erase he content of your ext partition and try again.

Someone else had the same problem only a couple of pages back and solved it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tamba52:
before clean installing the 26th build i completely formatted the sd card & recreated the ext/swap partition....now shud i just delete the ext3 content or recreate the ext3 partition from scratch??
[HD2 Android SD Development] qqdawg:
I had nothing but problems with the FAT32/EXT3/SWAP setup...

switch back to a single big FAT32 and problems solved.

still getting some FC errors, but just press wait and things are fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Regarding battery usage. I noticed that 2 kernal changes ago, my battery usage switched back to phone rather than android system as the primary users. Two nights ago, I was using maps and my phone froze completely (didn't restart, just was stuck). I had to pull the battery. I decided that maybe I really needed a fresh install with data image. I did so (by the way, SMS backup and restore, as well as call log backup and restore are great when you redo everything.) I've used navigation 3 times since. Twice got a good and fast GPS lock and once it wouldn't lock, but at least the phone didn't lock up and battery consumption was very reasonable.

One last thing, one of the reboots over the last week froze on HTC. Pulled the battery, ran it again, and it was fine. Likely retrying installation when it hangs is your best first try.

No wait messages lately (there were some initially).

I don't know how it happend but after updating to the 05/26 build, the map wich contains all my music was suddenly gone/deleted(I didn't delete it myself, I only changed the android map) :S

Luckily I have a back-up of all my music.

Strange...
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelees2:
Hi all. I installed the 5/26 build this morning. After the install I had no wifi. It just says error. You can't get to anything to delete because it just is not working.

Tried a new data image and got the same results.

I did update to the latest kernel the other night and all seemed good.

Any body have any ideas?

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
OK, so you already wiped the ext partition.

Did you use your old data.img or create a new one?

One of the builds pulled that vanishing act on me too, but that was quite some time ago.

Back then I formatted my SD card and everything was OK after that.

Sometimes you just have to try a couple of times and all of a sudden all the problems are gone.

I really don't understand how that can happen or what is happening.

My advise would be to wipe your card again. I know it's annoying but trying to find the error can be even more time consuming and there is no guarantee you'll find it.

So do a full format of the card, only copy the Android folder back on it and let it create a new data image. Make a backup before you do that. Check if the new data image is bug free and restore your backup. Check again for problems and only when you are satisfied everything is OK, copy back the rest of the stuff you had on your SD card. As long as you are not satisfied just keep repeating the formatting part.

Orange led not working when plugged in

Everything works great as before except for one thing. When my phone is plugged in, my orange led is not lit up anymore. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Kind of hard to tell if my phone is charged or plugged in without having that orange led light on.
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
Yup! My Wifi issue was that the networks saved before are not detected as on. After a while, the Wifi status goes to "disconnected".

SOLVED: load the new Android folder again, let it create new data.img and everything's working now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
the performance is improved a little yes.. partitioning (to include a swap partition) will help speed things up a tad. Other then that.. the whole point of this sd-ext feature is to save your data... you can litterally format the fat32 partition of your sdcard (after this has all been running for a while) copy the build files back to your /sdcard/android folder and when you boot BAM all your user settings, all your apps, EVERYTHING is installed automatically. So you can easily update your build (... so far its just Am.Can.Android that uses this feature) without fear of losing your data.

(just dont format the ext partition of the sdcard once you have everything working)

i donno.... anyone care to share their thoughts on the bckup2sdext / partitioned sdcard approach for this fine gentleman?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
1. we need more information from you.

-what build are you using

-have you edited your build.prop and put in the correct dns servers for your ISP

-are you using a US or EU hd2

-what radio are you using (FIVE BUCKS SAYS ITS LESS THEN 2.15.x)

-where you live is there strong 3g signal? or are you just using 2g?

-what are you doing when the data drops? what app is running?

we need more info when you post stuff like this.

AND

2. camera. while using the camera app. press the middle hardkey.

choose "switch camera". no more green "tint" pictures.

Speaking from a totally non-technical perspective ... it's great!

I downloaded the 022411 build last night, and this morning, just before dashing off to work I:

1.) Changed \Android\startup.txt to my country code (< 1 min)

2.) Inserted my SD card into my PC, & copied \Android across (<5 min)

3.) Replaced SD card in HD2 & rebooted into WinMo & from there into Android (didn't time, but < 3 min I'm sure)

... and I'm up and running ... absolutely

NO

other configs/installs/restores to do.

So ... I can't speak for the technicalities, but I'm very happy with the whole partition/backup thing you guys do. It's guys like you 2 [+others :)] who make my HD2 such a joy to play with. Thanks.

Just to confirm ... GPS is working perfectly with no "fixes" ... :D

Data drops are still there, i'am using underground which means that i have signal on each station a none between, its about 20 drop/gain cycles during 35 minutes, after that icons are gray and no data working, i should switch to airplain and back to fix it.

Green tint could be seen on attached photos and switch to front camera did'nt help, it only mirrors the image, only help is manualy set whitebalance to cloudy.

I have the same issue with loosing the configurations (email-account, wlan-key, apps on the home-screen etc.) after reboot. problem since build 24 und 24b.

I would love to use the builds since 24 as they seem to solve other problems.

I have had the sd card partioned for quite some builds and I will try removing the partitions as even reformating and repartioning the sd-card or specifically the ext/swap-partitions doesn´t help.

I only copy the extracted android-folder via card-reader onto the fat32 partition, after copying the root folder for 240 to the Android-folder and changing the startup.txt considering the gps from us to de (all on PC beforehand). I do not reuse any data.img.

I have no idea any more.

Shazam/SoundHound not working?

Hey All,

Updated yesterday night to the latest 5/26 which looks awesome so far!

I do have one annoying issue that I was wondering if anyone else had seen - Shazam and SoundHound both Force Close when trying to identify a song. Both programs start correctly, but crash when I tap to start "listening". So I suspect that both use a service or process that isn't working well...

I tried fixing permissions but it didn't help. Also tried moving both to SD but got a strange error saying there's not enough storage left (although I have over 2.5GB free on the SD). Both programs were downloaded from the Amazon app store, so maybe that's related to this move to SD error?

Anyways, anyone else having these issues? any ideas?

Using a fresh image with 2.15 radio and no MGDLR.

Thanks in advance!

[HD2 Android SD Development] OCedHrt:
I know the FAQ says this build will not be on NAND and there are countless NAND builds ;)

BUT,

It has been a bit quiet on the NAND build side with HyperDROID not being updated and not much changes on kernel side for the past month, although there is a lot of Sense on GB activity going on.

So I got curious and wanted to see what was happening on the SD side. There seems to be a lot of kernel progress being made here (or just well documented!). Is the same progress being also made on the NAND side?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
If you refer to shost's script, it is intended to be included in the build, so that you can set your GPS pool by editing the startup.txt.

Until it is, the easiest way is to use Fasterfix.

Once you have set your local GPS region with this, use GPS Status & Toolbar and you should have a fix in under a minute, provided you are in a nice open space.
