shamez why are you are suggesting removing a whole feature partitions and all to fix a minor issue that can be resolved another way?

if you are under the assumption that there is some setting or something being restored from the sd-ext then you should just format the ext partition and let all new files get copied to it. HOWEVER

wrong apn settings getting restored cant possibly happen as the sd-ext is an exact mirror created @ shutdown of your apps/user settings/app settings. (@ shutdown.. files that DO NOT exist in your data.img are REMOVED from /sd-ext .. so it can't even be old files.. laying around)

and aside from sdcard going bad how can possibly be that .....somehow.... the settings on the sd-ext partition change from when they are written at shutdown (an EXACT COPY of what is working from your /data/ folder) to when you start up again?

lets call a file in your data.img (or /data/data/HERE) = X

an exact mirror gets written to the sd-ext @ shutdown. SO

now there is a copy of that file in you bkup2sdext (or /sd-ext/data/HERE) also = X

your device has now rebooted and bkup2sdext initalizes and it finds a file

/sd-ext/data/HERE = X (just to keep it simple)

so it then looks in your data.img and finds that same file there

/data/data/HERE = X so NOTHING IS RESTORED

(granted there are many files and not just one so think about this happening to each and every file... )

the only time something would get restored would be if it was missing on the first bootup.

and .. if that was somehow causing a bad apn to be restored.. you could simply rescan for networks. choose the correct apn.... and shutdown. because you CHANGED the apn file during that last up session you had of android... that CHANGED file would get written to the sd-ext in the event that on bootup. The BAD apn file(settings) that you speak of, would have gotten overwritten by the good one during the android on session, and only the good (current) one would have been backed up at shutdown.

lets consider a file missing or a clean data.img is being used.

your device has now rebooted and bkup2sdext initalizes and it finds a file

/sd-ext/data/HERE = X

so it then looks in your data.img and finds that same file NOT there

/data/data/HERE = 0 so FILE IS RESTORED

and finally lets look at shutdown .. or the backup process.

lets consider a file missing or a clean data.img is being used.

your device is shutting down and finds a file exists

/data/data/HERE = X (again lets call this file X)

if it fails to find that SAME file.. or finds an older version of it

/sd-ext/data/HERE = 0 it creates a backup to the ext partition of that file.

if it finds that SAME file already exists.

/sd-ext/data/HERE = X then NOTHING is backed up

(again just simply referring to and example (X) file of many files that go through this check)

install the NEWEST build. ;)

i highly recommend sticking to the latest version... there are problem with some of those older builds that have been resolved in the newest one. infact.. i might start to get in the habit of removing all the old dl links.... cause i dont want users with old builds posting about their problems period. once a user has upgraded to the newest build, if they are still experiencing problem ___X____ then I will gladly try to assist them.

Alex, I am on O2 Germany too, and I have the data drops:

Data drops occur, when connection is downgraded (3G->2G, or 3G->GPRS). Sometimes

Standard HTC stock rom 3.14, not branded, 2.15 Radio, no HSPL

GSM Auto (PRL)

Default APN (did not modify anything)

Did you do any special things like enabling data connection in WinMob before booting to android, a modified APN-Setting ...?

[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
i had this issue and a call to Tmobile told me that over the last few days they had some tower issues. i am running the 4/11 build and my data drops are far less now and its running good for me. Im on the TMOUS build.

Normally the data will kick out but immediately come right back as if there was no drop. In strong 3G areas i dont have much problem. In some areas though I usually get EDGE and the phone switches from EDGE to 3G and this is when i get the data drop. I have two batteries both calibrated by erasing the battery stats and i switch between them daily because TMO techs have told me before to reboot the phone at least one a day or so.

At first I hated the smaller icons but actually i love it this way now. Some have reported issues with video but I have done a few videos on my phone and no issues or lags. So to me the builds are getting better and better. Sorry for those that are having issues with their HD2's.

i always backup my previous build files before I run a new build so in the event something doesnt work right I can just go right back to my previous build. If some of you are not doing this you should and use Titanium backup.

[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
that would be a great idea Cope! a quick search of this thread can answer many questions of past and current issues and builds!

Keep up the great work! I dont even WinMo anymore. I run android daily
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
thanks for the reply.

will give it a couple of days to see if things improve.

i too see data drops when switching between E and 3G. but it doesnt reconnect when im in an area of poor reception.

unfortunately i have lag when video recording.

is this due to the sd card? ive tried several of different makes, all of them are the same :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
I guess it could be related to SDCard... If its a slow card.

I have a faster card for my part.

Just want to express my gratitude towards this fantastic build (Apr 11). Data more reliable than any other build I have tried. No bad battery drain too.

Just a note NOT to use Patriot 32GB class 10 microSD for SD Android - which apparently had been causing frequent frozen screen (format with Win7 and also Panasonic formatter didn't seem to help). Revert back to the 16GB class 6 came with the phone and everything works like a treat.

Once again, thank you copenhagen!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Doemaarwat:
Just upgraded for the first time my version. I had the one from 040711 and now running 041111. Of course I did not backup my data.img file so a new one was created :rolleyes:. Now running a new clean version :) Also good to know what to do the next time.

Further it seems that all is working very well. No strange things at the moment. Thanks again very very much for this build. Keep up the good work!!

[edit]

Only thing I notice is that my HSDPA speed is still 0.3 Mbps, anybody an idea if this is fast enough? I thought it should be 3.6 Mbps?

Can anyone try video recording? It is not smooth when playback.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
heres what you need to do...

open Terminal Emulator and type the following (Hit enter after each line)(copy and paste may make it easier)

su

ls -l /data/data/ | wc -l

ls -l /sd-ext/data/ | wc -l

This will give you 2 numbers (mine were 198 and 37). In theory they should be the same if the sd-ext is to be a mirror of your data. If your numbers are not equal conntinue in the Terminal with

logcat > /sdcard/logfile.txt

now press and hold the end key and power off.

Once complete you will have a logfile in the root of your SD card - send it to Cope.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Doemaarwat:
Tried it and also not smooth here (I'm checking FAQ right now)

Some advices

Hi,

I have searched the FAQs pages, but I still am missing some information regarding this build.

Please guide me to the right page if it's the case or I kindly ask you to provide help.

Thank you for this Android build. I am using it in parallel with WinMo7 and I am happier with my HD2 more than ever.

- How do I deactivate the phone vibration during a call (all instances of it)?

Thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Doemaarwat:
Ok, we'll wait patiently
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I know a lot of people have stopped using this as it was not working in previous builds and is not working properly for a few users in the current build.

I am surprised there have been no "+1" or "mine works perfectly" posts. Is anybody still using it? Please let us know if it is working or not working for you, or if you've given up on it. We are trying to make it work flawlessly for everyone.

Is anyone else getting their current ringtone as the preview for every choice in settings? I'd be interested to hear either way, so I know whether it's just me or a CM7 bug.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Please add a fix for the video recording in the next build. Everything else is Awesome :D

Thanks for all the support.

Results

ls -l /data/data/ | wc -l

241

ls -l /sd-ext/data/ | wc -l

I will proceed with the log suggestion.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Doemaarwat:
You mean, if you get the list of sounds where you can select an other and you press one from the list? Thats the preview, right? Or did you mean something else?

If you meant this, then I get the correct sound played.
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
And here is the log file
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
One more thing - have a look at the 11 entries you have in sd-ext/data - are these the ones that cause the FCs?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Thanks for that - I think I know what to blame for my problem as my SMS history went missing too :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Please don't help me any more today - I've used up my Thanks quota :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Not quite.

There are:

few com.android.x files,

1 com.google.android.backup

then TB, seesmic, & firefox. I just tested these, firefox & TB cause FCs, but not seesmic.

In case you did not notice, I attached the log file in a previous post.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Not all of them cause FCs in my list, but it's interesting that TB and firefox are there. I just noticed that my SMS history had gone and my sound settings are behaving strangely.

Let's hope Cope can find something useful in your shutdown log. I notice that his script is there with the correct ending.

I'm hiding my ext3 partition for now, but will happily test more once we have some feedback.

Still nobody has said "this works perfectly for me"
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Personally, as I said, I am willing to pursue this to the end. BTW, (I hope this does not add to the mystery of the problem), I also tested two more ROMs based on Cyanogen Mod and that support bkup2sdext and both exhibited the same problems.

The only clean restore I can do now is with a fresh install and then a restore from TB.
[HD2 Android SD Development] roundel:
Oops - turns out it was user error. If I created/copied the directory structure from the Terminal within Android, or from File Explorer from WinMo6.5, the files/directories were created with names in lower case; and they were seemingly ignored.

Doing a copy/paste in desktop Win7 however, resulted in upper case names, and that worked fine.

Moral - do EXACTLY what you did last time. Perhaps the case-sensitive nature ought to be added to the FAQ?

John - happy now!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I believe it is in the FAQ

Linux is case-sensitive
[HD2 Android SD Development] massamino:
I'm still using it +1 :)

It had it's trouble with 0410, but before I shutdown, I always did a TB backup and then it was ok. I always got Firefox FCs with it, because it always took the older build. Now everything is ok, so I'm still happy with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Easy answer:

It was late and the number of ways at my disposal was low.

You can't think of everything all the time. It solved the problem though.

I really like the idea of that feature but it obviously still doesn't work 100% for everyone. I know you put in a lot of effort and others do too. But with all the partitioning and possible hickups this feature costs me more time than it saves.

I've had my card partitioned for a while now. Mainly to use the swap feature but also for he backup thing. With none of the builds that I've tried in that time, did this feature work for me.

If it's my fault, bad luck or something else, doesn't matter. I've been short 1GB on my SD card, spent time on partitioning and reading on how to do that, with no positvie effect for me, at all.

I'm really happy with this build. All the different versions that I've tried actually. They all worked for me. So again, your work is much appreciated.

Still, next time I do an update, I'll reformat my sd card to one partition.

I use TB anyway each time, because I don't fully trust in the backup feature. Why waste space on my sd card?

That is my decision I don't encourage anyone to do the same.

I'm old enough to do that kind of thing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Hmm, interesting (lucky you), what about settings & accounts? Do they get restored too?
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Very well said; I still have patience to keep trying though; hopefully, we will find a solution that works for all of us.

FM Radio

Hi Guys,

I am not sure if there is already any solution for this. I have searched the FAQ and did not get the same. I am very happy with the android build. However I am unable to get the FM Radio working, I have cleared data and also set it to current location UK, it is not helping either.

Bkup2sdext Request

Hey cope...

I wonder if it was possible to allow users to create a folder "bkup2sd" in root of sdcard and then use that rather a own partition if he user doesn't want to partition the SDCard?

Would something like that be possible for convenience?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Try to reformat your sd card and start with a fresh install.

I know this seems to be kind of overkill but it usually solves any issues and it's a lot faster than trying to find the problem.

It's the noob way but it served me well in the past.

Edit:

Wait.

Your signature says Energy ROM, so I assumed you use winmo but in your post you say you have magldr installed.

Make sure your sd card is formated the right way. More info in the faq on first page.

I got the same problem. Does some body know how to fix it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Simple. Boot WinMo. Open SD Card. Open Android Folder. Open the 240Build folder. Copy the file inside it called Root. Paste the file called Root inside your Android folder in your SD card. Boot Android. You have 240 screen. :D

video recording fu#@s up everything..

hey guys, i might as well say tnx for the best android out there :)

But.. i'm experiencing a major issue, 90% of the time when i use the camcorder the phone freezes, i can then close the camera app but nothing will work, no sound, no phone, apps will not load, basically i'll have to reboot.

is it just me??....

i'm currently running the 031411 ver, had the same issue with the previous 021611 one also..

no problems with other android\winmo versions.

I wouldn't wanna' upgrade to the latest version just to find out that it won't solve the issue because other than that I'm quite pleased with this version.

if someone can assure me that this issue is known and was solved in the following versions I'll be more than happy to update but i just have to be sure..

and if you're wondering why won't i update just for kicks.. well I'm quite a perfectionist.. and when i update i always use a clean install of everything including a new data.img, so updating will mean setting\installing everything from scratch.. so i try to update only if necessary.

TNX :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] kaos120:
This must not be done inside the build, but from winmo.

If you have sdcard/android/root directory, then the shutdown script (shutdown.d/01cleanup) moves it to .root so it never gets copied over the root file system.

Are you booting android for the first time? if so, it will take about 3-6 minutes for it to create the data.img file and set it self. if it's not the first boot of your current version, i say delete everything and start from scratch, can't go wrong there.
