It's a single, weak LED. The ammount of power it consumes is negligible.

Since the HD2 only has a 1230mAh battery that even without any heavy use and or uncontrolled drain will barely last two full days, I'd advice to charge it overnight, every night. That way you won't have to worry about any drain that might come up over night and leave you with an empty phone in the morning.

It won't hurt the battery if you start charging it when it's only half empty, since it is a lithium polymer battery that doesn't have a memory effect.
[HD2 Android SD Development] backlashsid:
yea...i charge it as frequently as possible !! overnight ofcourse...its just that i try to conserve battery as much as possible...!

its just the notification led's been bothering...doesnt work as expected !
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
The android device only charges up to 90%, after that its... well I cant explain it that well. But the LED only shows until 90% then its not-actively charging or something to that nature. Search the thread for more details, as its been explained a couple of times and your answer can be found (t)here. But its bad practice to keep charging the phone from 90 - 100% as it wears down the battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
What should be happening is that the battery will charge to 100%. If it is left on charge, it won't get any further charge until it is down to 90%. The worst state for longevity of the battery is to be fully charged and this charging method is designed to avoid that.

Packaged Kernels

I was wondering if there was a way I (we) could get the kernels packaged so we could alternate between the ACA builds/kernels. I know it's a simple of taking the Zimage but along with that, you need other files so different devices function, especially WiFi. In the Jaguarlani MIUI, at the bottom of the build post, he uploaded a few kernels with the necessary files from ACA and Tytung to all us to experiment with. I was wondering if we do something like that here in ACA.

The typical list I've found in the kernel zips are

bcm4329.ko

cifs.ko

msm_rmnet_wince.ko

nls_utf8.ko

uinput.ko

yaffs2.ko

and of course the Zimage

Is there anyone that has the Kernels packaged like that? Would like to do some mixing.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] backlashsid:
i dunno what u r talking about man !!

why would you not charge your phone to a 100% and simply leave it till 90% !!

also what has that to do with the notification led ! i am just saying that the battery charges to a 100% its only that the LED stops at 95% !is that intended or a bug !!

i dont see a reason why it should be intended...and the reason you give me makes no sense !
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I was trying to point you in the right direction. But Uzi explained it correctly in the post right below mine. Your phone's LED notification is controlled by whether its actively charging or not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
You're welcome

Yes, that's right otherwise I had still some overheating issues (forgot to mention it)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Don't get so worked up because of that stupid LED.

The LED didn't work for quite some time with earlier builds. It was lit all the time unless you installed some third party app to turn it off. Compared to that, it is perfect now.

I don't know why the LED turns off at 90 or 95% or if it does at all. I've never seen it happen because I connect my phone to the charger when I go to bed. The next time I open my eyes it is 100% charged no matter if the LED is lit or not and that's what is important.

The LED stays on when you received a call or message till the moment you aknowledge it by having a look at the message or the list of missed calls. That's how it is meant to be. If winmo turns the LED off after some time, that's a rather stupid behavior because you might miss an important call or message. It defies the purpose.

This is Android, not winmo. If you can't live with the differences, don't use Android.

If you can't live with the odd bug now and then you get using an experimental build of Android on a native winmo phone, get a "real" Android phone or try another build if you think you will fare better with it.

I don't mean this to sound harsh or rude. I simply state facts and logical conclusions.

This is just a smartphone and definitely not worth the stress it seems to give you.

GPS Navigation

Crash

I configured a SetCPU profile for temperature and started up Google Navigation. After about five minutes, my HD2 locked up. Oddly enough, it did not heat up first. I was scrolling the map around, and it just froze. When I have time, I'll try it with a fresh data.img in case my problem is software related.

data connection option

Hi, Since I did not receive any reply for my post regarding data connection option, I am posting this again.

The problem is -

Most of the time when I turn off and then turn on the "Data Enabled" option, data connection does not work and I have to restart the phone to make it working again. Is there and fix to it or any suggestions ...

I updated to the latest ROM 2.3.5, but I still have the same problem.

Thanks

Several issues with the build for 08/17

Google maps force close even when I'm not using it. I get a message every 10 second aross the screen that google maps is not work and must force close. Very annoying when watching a movie. Please help!!

Does any know how to install the new netflix. I have downloaded it to the desk top; unzipped the file; loaded on the SD. Tried several apk installer, but none recoginize the file. Any clues?

How can I install flashplayer 10.3. Worked fine on the other builds, but this one is a no go.

Does anyone know why most of the programs I downloaded from the market on the builds worked fine, but not on the 08/17?

Thanks.

@ratnesh1729 : not as deep as you with data : since some builds, when i de/activate data through power widget (don't know the english name, but the default widget with toggle for datas and sync/flight mode), my network icon goes white with the cross (like no network) and go back automatically to white; and green when enabling it). It was not like this before (but can't say from when).

BT ask : anyone still having contact synch pb with BT device (my contact are not synch anymore : i tried more than once, just after the build update or after some use, and even with enabling contact access (pop-up), i don't see them at all...

I also know i can try with an empty data.img to be sure. §But just wanted to know if so has this issue (everything else is working in BT...). Just sometimes, the network status is not shown in my BT device while screen is not switched on once... not an issue for me, doesn't bother me at all;-)

Profiles and temperature issue : good for all profiles values and feedback (i never used GPS more than 10 or 15 minutes, as i have one embeded with my car);

Off-topic : HTC Holidays seems not so bad ;-)

Battery drain

Are there any system tweaks for improving battery life?

I'm loosing 5-10 percents per hour - no matter what build I use (tried almost all of them)...

Any good idea will be appriciated...
[HD2 Android SD Development] ratnesh1729:
Ya, i am having this similar issue also too.. [when i de/activate data through power widget (don't know the english name, but the default widget with toggle for datas and sync/flight mode), my network icon goes white with the cross (like no network) and go back automatically to white; and green when enabling it).]

One question - How do i update CM7 or kernel. In Cyanogenmod settings ? I have the option for nightly builds but it never registers me ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
@rico_35 : same, a while to have network and data on boot (lockscreen, nothing possible...)

For the CM7 update, Cope&Warren alsway make the update themselves, so, i'm only waiting new builds (never more than 2 weeks), and it's done (i'm not playing with CM updates) but "some" here seems to play with it, they may response later ;-) (different GMT time)
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Depends what you have installed and turned on. For maximum battery life, dim the screen, disable all radios (wifi, BT, or for max savings, turn off the phone radio), and gps. Also see what apps you have installed, as many can access the internet, or run on your phone, using system resources and battery power. You can alos underclock you phone to ~600 MHZ or so. There are many things you can do, but each one is a trade off. Finally, your battery may be getting old, and heading towards the end of its life. A replacement battery may hold its charge longer, and can deliver more Ma, than a used battery.

BT and car phone question

Is anyone experiencing minor issues with BT and car speaker phone?

I make a connection to the vehicle without a problem. When I try to dial via the vehicle dialer (Lexus) the number is sent to the phone and after a second or so the car displays a "Problem with mobile - check connection" message. However, the the phone does, in fact, dial and the connection is made. The car speaker finds the connection within a second or so and the call progresses as expected. No additional problems after this point.

It is only that short, momentary "check your phone" message that is a minor annoyance.

Has anyone seen this issue? Or find a fix for it?

Android Market Issues

I have been emailing back and forth with the Android Market Support team, and this is the latest I have gotten from them:

Thanks for writing back. I understand your frustration; apps that you have purchased should be available for your use at all times. I want to assure this isn't due to Android Market, but due to the developer choosing to protect the application.

When you rooted your device, you removed the devices capability to download copy-protected (or forward-locked) applications. The paid version of Linpack as well as Consumer Reports Mobile Shopper are two applications that are forward-locked. The free version of Linpack is not. The version of Android is mostly irrelevant as both applications only require a version of 1.6 and higher, which nearly every Android device does have.

This is an option that is chosen by the developer.

I also wouldn't like for you to have to use any work-around to obtain the applications, mostly because I cannot troubleshoot any troubles that come about on apps or your device where these alternative methods are used, and my ability to troubleshoot for rooted devices is rather limited, too. I recommend keeping the official version of Android that came on your device to avoid these kinds of problems and so I can assist you fully.

As I stated before, I recommend speaking to the developers when this kind of issue arises. I'm also going to provide the contact info to the developer of Linpack so that you can speak to them:

Contact email: info@greenecomputing.com Contact website: http://www.greenecomputing.com

I really appreciate your correspondence and your patience, and I hope that the developers of these applications will be able to assist you in obtaining your applications once again. Have a great day.
​

My response to that (I chose not to pursue the fact that no Android version came with my TMO HD2 phone -- I already gave him a detailed synopsis):

Hi Phil – If this is a developer decision, methinks that the form they complete, to submit their apps to the market, lack sufficient explanation of what each choice does, and most likely (a guess), does not explain possible repercussions of those decisions.

I have contacted both of these companies, have not heard back yet from Green Computing, but have had an active, on-going exchange with Consumer Reports, who have brought their developers up to speed on what is going on.

I am sure that I will trip over additional apps that I have downloaded and/or purchased that will test my stress levels. This needs to be somehow addressed.

Audio issues

A solution has been found to the HD2's audio problems. At present there is a choice between feeble volume or strong volume accompanied with high mic gain.

Full details here.

The good news is that this build already uses the default.acdb, so we are half way there.

Cope asked for source of drizztje's audiofixV2 some while back. It is here.

However the libaudio has been updated recently by CM7 and the VOIP issues solved (only for skype to release a new version and break it :( ) and there are further changes to come, so it looks redundant now.

Is there a way to do that ?

Is it stupid to copy Android directory from my SD card to my wife SD card ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Assuming she has an HD2.. Yes, it's as simple as that. There may be apps which store their data in other parts of the SD card as well, so copy those folders for a complete clone.

Remember you will also be copying your account details (Google, email ,twitter, facebook etc.) so you may need to make some changes once the copy is complete.

screen will not on

I have the following problems:

when I press a button, the screen will not display.

If i cal to my phone, the screen is even blank (i can't see who is calling me) I can answear the cal with the HW key. When i hang-up the screen comes to live.

Also when i make a call, the screen will go off. and will not going on until i hangup with the HW button.

I use the latest version, the problem exist for a long time but it take now longer before the screens comes up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
This is a variable problem. The lockscreen wake-up is delayed when something is running in the backround. Wait for about 10 seconds and your lockscreen will show up. If it disappears before you can unlock, just wait a little longer.

For the phone proximity sensor, the developers have adjusted its responsiveness. For me, most of the time the screen returns promptly when I pull it away from my ear. Otherwise, I use one of the hard keys to wake it up. I haven't noticed that it is worse than it has been. ~kris

[HD2 Android SD Development] calvin_germany:
Have you tried to switch everything off in WinMo before booting to ACA?

Meaning Wifi, put WinMo to Airplane mode and if not using WinMo too much, even switch of Sense. Try this and boot again.

Saying that you´ve got only running 2G in Android and nothing else, I would suggest to try two little helpers: "DroidWall -Android Firewall" and "LBE Privacy Guard". Just avoid unwanted internet connections using DroidWall. Do the same using LBE (you need to untrust all apps in the settings first), plus avoid location services for any app, avoid access of contacts, sms, call logs, etc. for any app and system tools. This helped me a lot.

Using a task manager you´ll see how many apps are running in the background -never started or used by yourself- and causing traffic. Traffic means battery drain. Give it a try and report if it helped.

___________________________________________________________________

Btw, I must admit I just don´t understand that no one of the coders and dev´s (not talking about ACA dev´s, but Android in general) really seems to care about those apps running in the background sending all kinds of informations. Those guys were the first using firewalls, script blockers and so on on their computers. But when it comes to mobile "computing" on their cell phones all this seems to be taken as just normal. I don´t get it. As far as I know LBE is the only app giving you this kind of power, although Android is leaking like a colander. Everybody is exited about Android´s speed and open source philosophy, but the philosophy of privacy seems to be forgotten. Few years back GOOGLE used to be everybody´s enemy. Now it´s everybody´s friend??? For me Android will only be a toy, till there will be solutions offered for this "issues".

Nonetheless, the ACA team is doing a great job.

Best SD-build I´ve played with so far.

DspManager and Bluetooth = FC?!

Doing a little more research on this it seems to be a DSPMANAGER issue with BT. Perhaps a CM7 issue? Not sure. I have seen a number of posts indicating that DSPMANAGER will FC when a BT call is initiated - which is is what I am seeing.

I have all options of DspManager disabled / turned off but it is still throwing FCs.

I have not seen any resolutions - perhaps a CM7 fix? Anyone?

Would it be safe to simply remove / uninstall DspManager?
