system crash power button

HI

Sometimes, I don't know why, my Desire HD crashes after pressing the power button. I use the RC4. This issue still exists since RC2. Where can I find the crash log?
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
Nice ROM all along the way. Using it since 3 Days (not heavy). Battery is near to my former installed Android Revolution ROMs. Plugged off at 7am and now got 54%. But only a little call today and tons of Email (2x Exchange & 1 Gmail).

I recognized a few things while using it:

@ 100% of Battery and unplugging it the green LED still keep for a few minutes (in my case a mail arrived)

The Wifi is not so good with my ARHD ROMS (same Radio - see Signature). Much weaker signal (normally i can surf in my bed :D)

And now some questions :D

Is there a patch which will increase the volume ? ARHD got an 20% volume boost and i miss it for my ringtone.

And someone knows a real good notifier app which works flawlessly with gmail, calls & email ? AWD Notifier is not working most of the time.

Anyway this ROM looks so awesome and is so fast - it´s a keeper! Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] colonel_lp:
are you sure you are not pressing the volume buttons at the same time, as this will reboot the phone..?
[Desire HD Android Development] hoschi80:
No, I only press the power button for a short time. I have this reboot only sometimes.
[Desire HD Android Development] CamoGeko:
Flashed the Cingular US radio this morning, seems to be pretty good. Signal strength has increased at my home from one bar to 3 bars. Will report on battery life on wednesday.

Was using GB 2.16.0.0 before. I guess there is a reason they are called test radios lol

[Desire HD Android Development] chardd23:
up my question!
[Desire HD Android Development] Gtj94:
1. Check out CyanlorDmod the kernel he's made incorporates the volume boost! :D

2. Have you tried launcher pro? The notification system for that launcher works flawlessly for me :)
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
When i install Launcher Pro do i have to uninstall ADW ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Gtj94:
Up to you :) just make sure you enable notifications in preferences :D
[Desire HD Android Development] damac:
Nope, going to home screen will ask which launcher to use. You can specify new launcher pro. If you tick the box setting it as default, it won't ask anymore.

If for some reason after installing launcher pro you're not given an option of choosing launcher, you might have to go to manage apps -> adw launcher -> clear defaults. That will make it not the default launcher.
[Desire HD Android Development] FalkenX:
When I do a full wipe, will I get the apps back that I have installed now? Does that come back when I install the Gapps again?
[Desire HD Android Development] jambamkin:
No, a full wipe will clear all installed apps. You need to backup of your apps with another app. Like titanium backup or my backup.

Or if you have enabled it Google will have backed up what apps you had from the market and will reinstall them this needs to be done over wifi and only restores market apps so its not recommended.

I've flashed rc4 couple of days ago but just realised that lots of pictures have problems with the gradient, it seems like pixel/blocks instead of smooth transitions on lots of wallpapers..anyone else?
[Desire HD Android Development] G1sanju:
Nope, If you do full wipe, you need to install everything again, for gapps you need to flash the add-on....

You can use titanium backup to backup all your apps and once you do full wipe and reinstalled the ROM, you can restore all your application....
[Desire HD Android Development] DelLoce:
Okay, so. I've had my Desire HD for about 4 months now, and yesterday I finally gathered the courage to get it rooted, get s-off, eng s-off, attempt a radio flash and then, of course, install Cyanogen. I was actually planning on waiting til Cyanogen 7 Final was released, but I just couldn't wait anymore.

And I didn't wait this long, because I was afraid of messing anything up.. Nothing other than myself, that is :) I came from the Samsung Galaxy S, and I still have nightmares about how flash-addicted I became, once I had the darn thing rooted and installed Clockwork. Darn, I would sometimes flash new firmwares 2-4 times a day..

And now I've gone and done it again. I feel like a smoker, who recently layed off the goodies, but couldn't resist the goodness anymore..

So help me God, I'm addicted!

As far as the Cyanogen 7 RC4 goes, I've encountered absolutely no problems what so ever. I've used 10% battery in the last 13 hours, and that's including a LOT of tinkering with settings, downloading and installing apps by the dozens, so all in all, I'm really impressed by the battery usage.

I DO miss some aspects of Sense, but none, that I can't replicate with other apps, such as Beautiful Widgets or what not. Darn, this rom is blazing fast! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] CamoGeko:
Where can I find the kernel you are talking about?

Proudly swyped with my HTC DESIRE HD XDA App.
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
I would like to believe, but sorry i think your Battery won´t display the truth. I´m loosing 10% battery in 5-6 hours with doing only idle (mail push) and not playing around, installing apps and so on. The display itself would let the battery drain a lot more if you have it all this time on...
[Desire HD Android Development] DelLoce:
Sorry, I should've pointed out, that I off course slept for six of those hours ;)

The battery usage is, however, accurate. I wiped battery stats right after installing Cyanogen and G-apps..
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
But how long your display run, even if it runs for 1-2 hrs of this remaining 4 hrs would this drain your battery a lot more. Don´t you think ?
[Desire HD Android Development] DelLoce:
I tend not to think too much about theory, and rely more on practice ;)

It's like when one of my friend repeatedly tries to convince me, that because his MacBook scores higher benchmarks in some stupid tests, it's faster than my laptop.. But when we put it into practice and test it next to each other, my laptop always beats his MacBook in almost every aspects.

I don't care how much battery it SHOULD've used.. Only how much it DID actually use..

But I'll test it further in the next few days..
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
Yeah, i try to believe. But think we both got an DHD and not an MacBook and an Notebook. We both have the same with significant differences on battery lasting and i don´t think mine is defect or anything. But i will be curious waiting to your next testings. I believe it, but i think why is this so. This was on ARHD the same. Someone got a drain from 1% per hr anoter 5% per hour. But mostly on idle and not using it... Don´t see this as an attack pal.
[Desire HD Android Development] DelLoce:
Don't worry, I'm not easily offended, and my last post shouldn't be seen as some sort of defence :) It's all in good spirit ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
Thanks but if i like the look & feel of adw (or CM7) can i also have this with Launcher Pro or is this more like Sense ?! The CM7 Themes won´t work with Launcher Pro or do they ?
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Yup, you can more or less have it with Launcher Pro, and with Launcher Pro Plus, you could have widgets similar (maybe) to some sense's widgets.

Launcher Pro would work with CM7 Themes. Remember to reboot after you change theme.

Edit: You could try adw Ex as well which I think have more features than LPP
[Desire HD Android Development] damac:
Do you know if adw ex has anything like sense replacement widgets? (friend stream like?)
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Unfortunately, adw ex does not offer anything like that except for Launcher Pro Plus which has similar ones, as you mentioned, "friend stream like".

Cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
My prior lies in the Notifications (Ballons on the Icons). That works on ADW with ADW Notifications a little buggy (and not on mail). Is this implemented in ADW Ex ?!
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Yup, adw notifier is applicable to both adw and adw ex. I don't use it anymore, like what you have mentioned, I find it a bit buggy as well.

Thanx guys, btw how can I add a photo to the ME icon on the message app? Thanx again
[Desire HD Android Development] Nebell:
Hmm, weird I am somewhat new to Cyanogen, I first tried nightly build, which didn't allow me to create and sync any account except Exchange, whatever that is. Then I went for RC3, and I had the option to choose everything after flashing.

Now RC4 is behaving like nightly build, I can't add any email/facebook etc account. What did I do wrong?

Edit:

Solved, it's missing google apps.
[Desire HD Android Development] CamoGeko:
Was about to say it was missing google applications lol

[Desire HD Android Development] supersomething:
RC4 messed up my switch pro buttons again. now whenever i put toggle gps button on, it won't turn gps on/off but brings me to the 'locations and security' page instead.

i am sad.
[Desire HD Android Development] fatthumb:
I think the photo is sync from your facebook contact :)
[Desire HD Android Development] coendeurloo:
This is kind of awkward and silly indeed, why is this? I though mods was all about adding options, not removing super-essential ones...
[Desire HD Android Development] barrycollard:
Settings> Call Settings> Additional Settings and in there is My Phone Number. Put your mobile number in there.

I think it helps to have your own details setup in your contacts and my profile image is setup on my Google account.

Try that and it should work.

Yesterday i had one strange moment. From time to time i use the torch app (with full power) but not too long (i think 2 minutes with breaks). This time my phone went after this really hot (battery & sim parts) not the LED itself. After a while it cooled down but thanked it to me with a reboot in my pocket (during a few hours i don´t know exactly when, but minimum 8 hrs AFTER using torch). After this i rembembered when it wsa hot and wanted to test the torch again. Everytime i startet the app the phone rebooted. After a backup in CWM i went back to backup some data before trying anoterh ROM, but now it works again (torch also) and makes no reboot. Anyone else had similar problems ? When i use it know it works (also torch) and the speed is normal. What i recognized yesterday during the restarts & tests the phone was abnormal laggy all the time... But if i would have fried it (not in 2 minutes i think) it won´t work like by now. 10 Hours without a reboot when starting torch or without it.
[Desire HD Android Development] Captain Honeycomb:
guys i have tow little questions :D

1) I going in spare parts and change the font to "little" and then i go to settings turn my phone into the landscape mode or normal mode and then the font was "normal" and not more "little", what's the problem....?

2) I have a honeycomb theme in adw and i always use my phone into landscape mode like a tablet :D

now i noticed, that the lockscreen have no landscape mode... that's bad... can i change that or what should i do ?

thank you :D
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Wow, 2 mins of torch can actually cause that?

How was the ambiance weather when you used the torch?

Was it full-power/death ray mode? (both LED on)
[Desire HD Android Development] peste76:
Yeah, both LEDs - Weather ? Little bit sunny & dry i think :) Meanwhile it works fine again, also the torch, but i will not use it again so long.
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
Ive tried everything to fix the GPS on this. Tried multiple radios, wiped multiple times. Flashed multiple times and still GPS takes for ever to find anything and when it does it wont see as many sats as other roms for the Desire HD.

In terms of radios I tried the recommended one and a few others and same thing

There is defiantly something up with this build.

Is it one of those situations where the first fix takes forever and the other ones after are fine? Never had that on other ROMs
[Desire HD Android Development] merell1988:
have you tried faster fix? can be found on the market..after this my fix just took a couple of seconds.
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
Tried that and still nothing
[Desire HD Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
Dude i can, without a doubt tell you, that it ain't the ROM or ROM Build. The GPS in Desire HD just sux, this is the conclusion i have come to. Check the topics that i have posted and you will see that i have looked at this GPS thing for a good while now. For me the GPS is the Desire HD's biggest flaw, and its really sad. This brilliant phone with a large screen, perfect for navigation, and it is a let down. Even when you get it fixing/locking the accuracy is, well hit and miss.

All the guys creating ROMs have, from what i can see, got the GPS working about as good as its going to with this phone :(:eek::mad:

i now get a fix, even indoors, 99.9999% of the time. But is almost wasted as the accuracy is all over the place. This did not happen a month or so ago, with any ROM (locking/fixing so easily).

If you have a gel or plastic/rubber case take it off the phone as they do cause issues with the GPS. Well i have found that anyway.

I have given up with this phone and the GPS...
[Desire HD Android Development] henke002:
My phone reboots now and then for some reason, started today.

I installed SPB Shell 3D yesterday, anyone else with similar problems?
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
Say what you will but I still say there is something in the ROM. The simple fact some users need to use 3rd party software like faster fix to get it to work better indicates something

Here is what I get with this ROM with no 3rd party applications used for better GPS

This is outdoors after about 10min without moving

I managed to get faster fix to work and it gives me maybe 4 additional sats with max 100feet accuracy in about 30 sec.

With other ROMS such as RCMix I get about 7-10 sats in the same place in the in about 30sec with accuracy between 70-20 feet

Sorry but in my view the numbers peak for themselves
[Desire HD Android Development] phpi:
hi, nice rom !

I use WidgetSoid in the system tray, but it does not work out, he is obliged to open a popup, :/
[Desire HD Android Development] Black1982:
Yeah I also noticed GPS performance with CM 7 is not good. With ARHD ROM I could lock 8 satts inside my rom, now I get 1/2. I'm not sure if its the the ROM or the kernel and/or radio combo. I also had a problem with GPS signal dropping away suddenly when driving around and not getting it back without reboot. (no I wasn't inside a tunnel). Some knows a radio that's working well with GPS?
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
Tried a few radios and same thing. Tested

Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2

Radio_12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test

Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2

Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF
[Desire HD Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
how are you guys installing the ROM?

have you used a clean SD-Card? ie. copied everything on it to HDD, reformat and start from scratch? or just used another card for testing?

Do you check the .ZIP checksums?

What other ROMs have you tested? Screen shots of the GPS magically getting lock/fix with these ROMs?

have you done any editing of the build.prop file?

If this ROM is so crap why are you here moaning about it and not using another one? :p
[Desire HD Android Development] jahred:
I get a gps lock with 8 sats in less than 10 seconds, with latest CM. If this is not great, don't know what is :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Black1982:
What radio are you using? I can't read if it's in your sig because Im on the xda app.
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
Tested clean SD since I wanted to remove my ext4 partition on my class 10 32gig SD. Formatted SD on PC then formatted on device then transferred contents over.

checksums are fine

Tested the following

RCMix HD 5.8

Miui 1.41

Android Revolution HD 4.0.4

And tested briefly CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V5.1

Running RCMix HD 5.8 most of the time

No editing of build.prop as I dont know how

Never said ROM was crap this is the only issue I have with it. Was using this rom on my nexus one and love the extra features like tweaking the brightness and touch settings etc

Here is a screenshot for the GPS in the same location as the previous one I supplied. This one is on RCMix HD 5.8. Same radio and same location as the first test. Took 20sec to get this result and took 30min of my life wiping and installing the other ROM and standing outside to make a point to you lol :)
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
Nightly or RC?
[Desire HD Android Development] gtg465x:
Just curious. Why do you guys want to use the GPS indoors? Maybe I'm weird, but I only use it for navigation. It works extremely well for me for that task. Quick locks (outdoors) and accurate. Network location is good enough for everything else when I'm indoors.
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
All my results are for outdoor use. I went outdoors for all my tests.

On a side note I installed nightly 35 (people say 36 has some gps issues) and get much better results so this seems to be on rc4 only
[Desire HD Android Development] jahred:
Sorry for the late answer.

The one recommended on the first post, 12.28e.60.140fP_26.04.02.17_M2.

Not nightly. the latest RC, RC4.

Once every two weeks (more or less), I turn 3G internet on, to update AGPS data. I used GPS status for that.
[Desire HD Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
LOL!!!! :D luckily i did not say something stupid like that i would eat my phone if........

And yes i was being a little sarcastic in my post :o my bad :eek:

thx for taking the time to prove me wrong :D i like that.

did you leave RCMix on the device or did you reinstall CM7? if so frm scratch or CW restore?
[Desire HD Android Development] Cyberz22:
RADIO 26.05.05.27 is really good!

I think u should definitely try it!
[Desire HD Android Development] berek9999:
WOW! You are dead right there. I just tried a test indoors (purely so that I had a weak GPS signal), and with my gel case on I get 1 or 2 bars with GPSTest. If I take it off I get 7 or 8! I've tried it several times and it's quite consistent.

In case anyone is interested, I got the case from here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170557666119

Overall, I've been very pleased with it, but this has made me realise that it's doing me no favours in areas where the GPS signal is weak.

Amazing - thanks for the heads up about this. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
Like cm7 to much not to leave it if everything works. Do you mean for nightly? You can install over rc4. For my tests it was fresh and I only installed gps test from the market. Great free app
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
The test one I mention before Radio_12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test has been pretty good to me so far on cm7
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
In case anyone is interested im running LorDMod V2.0 |SMARTASS|SLQB|BATT FIX|1.99G|VOL BOOST|BFS on this with 122min and 1228 max ondemand with screen off profile 122/368 and getting great speed and battery
[Desire HD Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
you see when you start posting stuff like this without resolving issues 1st, ie. GPS, i am not sure that you are not just a troll.

these posts are wasting thread space so If you want to solve/try to solve the GPS issue and/or have any more questions PM and i will do my best to help.

Alternatively start searching the XDA forums the answers are here or will, if you take the initiative, point you in the direction of where to start looking for the answers.

Flashed first thing this morning so far so good all working fine here.

Battery life could be better but got a day out of it thats all i care about.

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Rosjer:
Anyone care to elaborate on these numbers for me?

Just cause i'm curious i headed into battery status overwiev to check if RC1 was as great for my battery as the nightlys had been, it is, but then i noticed something odd, this is what it displayed:

Cell-Standby 34%

Wireless 34%

Cell not in use 33%

Screen 2%

-----

Total 103%

Bug? Or just something i don't comprehend?
[Desire HD Android Development] afilopou:
I have a question. I came from SGS with cm7 and i remembered that if i switched off the phone and plug in the charger, the phone switched on.Now i see that if i do the same thing with htc the phone goes to recovery (cwm).Is this normal??Thanks

Also nightly 40 is out.Is the same as RC1?
[Desire HD Android Development] ekoandrew:
That problem my friend is a Common CWM BUG!! Everyone know that is a bug...:rolleyes:

How is the battery holding up with this ROM?
[Desire HD Android Development] Vispe85:
Could and should be better, it lasts through the day ok with medium usage, but just barely. The fix to the battery drain is on the way though, so have the wise men told us ;) The rom in itself is superb and wouldn't change it for anything, hopefully we'll see same battery performance as with stock sense, or even better! :p
[Desire HD Android Development] flo90:

Hi all, everything is great, but my wifi signal is very week. Usually full strength on sense, any thoughts?
[Desire HD Android Development] jasecs:
also i just finally install the rom successfully, can vouch that wifi gps and everything works after 1st boot after rom installed, also the wifi was weaker than when i was on sense rom.

now i have a special or rather noobish question, how come i tried to backup the rom with cwm 3, it doesnt back up at all? or i am looking at the wrong place? since gingerbread using ext4
[Desire HD Android Development] guinnes.s:
Done it, but no luck,would the radio be the problem? Still having the stock radio. What about rom manager 2.5?

I'm using root esplorer to change the file.
[Desire HD Android Development] kramerty88:
Hey people,

Question has been asked a few times already. But I can't get wifi working. It can't connect with my network while it did on the nightly's. What I've tried is: a full wipe, manual and via the full wipe zip. Restarted about 10 times, deleted dalvik and normal cache. Also tried shutting phone down in stead of restarting. All didn't help unfortunatly.

Anyone has any advice/suggestions?
