Nailed it, SkippyDogg. I managed to get my ancient 2GB transflash card to boot AmeriCanAndroid, and I'm seeing 10-14ma drain in standby. A little high, I think, but far better than the 90-100ma drain I was seeing. Tomorrow I'll head down to Mall-Wart and pick up a cheap 8GB card. I hope that one isn't a dud too...
[HD2 Android SD Development] StarLog:
Pull the battery and start it over, I have at times, had to do that atleast 2 times, then it comes up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dtjones:
I'm having an issue with every ROM I use. It says I don't have an SD card installed so I'm unable to use many apps and I can't take pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

I am dual booting with WP7 and it was working fine the other day before I switched SD cards.
[HD2 Android SD Development] brinks:
Agreed. Great rom except for the data drops which make it unusable for me. Tried changing the kernel to one with RMNET but was getting some screen freezes and other undesirable effects so went back to stock.

C&W won't support RMNT, anyone else have instructons?

Nice and smooth as butter

Just upgrade to 032011 build from 031211 using old date image.

* GPS:

Still having the same problem. First lock-in is fine. Turn-off for a few minutes and can not lock-in again. Not a big deal though. I can alway reboot if needed. (Note: I used and tested with both Co-Pilot and Google map Navigation)

* Wifi tethering:

Wireless Tether 2.0.6 and 2.0.7 (green icon) dont works for me. Can not connected

Wifi Tether 3.0 (yellow icon) semi-work (PC local connected only - no internet)

I use Barnacle and it's works

* LED - with LED me know installed. Noticed from 03-12:

First two days, green led doesn't lit when fully charge. I had to un-plugged and re-plugged to fix it but after the third day, LED works perfectly, green indicates when fully charged

* Battery (using current widget to monitor)

Build 0308, 0310, 0312:

Drastically unstable for one or two days then it settle down after that at avererage 3-7mA on standby

Build 0320: Unstable on the first one hour then stable at 3-8 mA on standby.

* Data moving:

Still have to re-download my beautiful widgets skins after reboot. Same thing with my music playlist, had to re-import from My Back-up

These are my reports if Warren and Cope found it useful for their next build. It is not a complain. I am happy with the build and very grateful for Warren and Cope works. Thank you. You guys rock

GPS fix

Docent (or who har rights to edit Your FAQ) please remove this solution from the document it is misleading, because as cope said, startup.txt is not used to set up gps country.

Leave there only mention of /etc/gps.conf whitch is the right place to edit country

By the way my battery drain during the night id arount 40mA with WiFi & BT off, AutoSync, data & 3G on. I have stock rom with disabled sense, booting by "mskip_Android_Loader_V6.0" with 5s delay. Not complaining, just for the record.

I love this build and didnt boot WinMo from January, thanks C&W and Docent.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Changing right now. Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] EgoMaximus:
Thanks for that.

I found a bug: vibration on email arrive does not work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] deviljf:
A suggestion for Docent to update his FAQ to show that

1. Country code in Startup.txt file does nothing for gps.

2. Use Fasterfix apk to change your country code/or edit change gps.conf in android folder before startup.

3. Using of GPS Status apk and manage A-GPS state under tools...resetting and downloading gps assistance data.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
PM me please with elaborate.
[HD2 Android SD Development] happyfree:
I'm sorry for asking but I don't see anything in the FAQ (partitions) related to MAGLDR... :(

PS: I partitioned my SdCard with FAT32, sd-ext and LinuxSwap, and I read the readme.txt in Android folder
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Just delete sd-ext and swap, and try again.

If problem doesn't repeat itselft - case closed.
[HD2 Android SD Development] happyfree:
Thank you!

One more question: I can delete the sd-ext directory but swap is not a directory. How can I do?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Delete partitions - not 'directories'.

Use fdisk/gdisk/gparted/paragon - whatever works for you
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
They are both partitions.

[HD2 Android SD Development] happyfree:
Ok, thanks.

I've just tried by deleting the directory 'sd-ext' and rebooting and now it seems to work (I mean that all my settings are not changed after a reboot). If the issue comes back, I will try to delete the partitions.

Thanks again for your quick help.

I still can't get my gps to get a lock, do i need to be outside for the better lock, and i still can't turn off vibration (haptic feedback) when unlocking the phone, even after i turned off every possible vibration in settings, any solutions for that :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Especially for the first fix, you should try to be away from any buildings, so there is a clear view of the sky.

I get haptic feedback on unlock, but, I'm sorry I don't know how to stop it.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Luke15153:
Perhaps you should have a look in the internet, how gps works. There are about 25 satellites flying around the earth. The orbits of these sats are organized in a manner that you can always "see" 5 satellites, which is enough for a 3D fix. Mostly you have more satellites in view. These satellites transmit a signal, which strength is near to the thermal noise (very weak). The receiver uses a correlator to extract the signal and calculate your position on earth.

If you are indoor:

you will shadow most of the satellites. The radio waves cannot pass a ceiling or a wall => the number of available sats may be < 4 => no 3D fix any more.

You get multipath propagation of the waves. Depending on the receiver the affected sats are eleminated from the position calculation.

This also happens, if you are in a street with high buildings around ("Narrow street scenario")

Conclusion: Go outside, ensure there a no things around that block the view to the sats and try again. And be patient, it may take several minutes to get the first fix.

Here are some screenshots for Fasterfix and Gps Status that could be included in Docent's FAQ.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Maybe you should include one with all the satellites, just to prove that it works :)

GPS Status will automatically download fresh satellite info, if it is out of date. This enables it to make the first fix in seconds rather than minutes.

Then do reverse engineering - you're doing something wrong.

Quite easy to check - add something to build.prop which you put in SDCARD:/Android/root/system/

(last line: #something)

Boot phone.

And, if your /system/build.prop HAS this line - it means there is a glitch we've never discovered.

And if your /system/build.prop has not got this line - you're failing at one of the steps in faq.

easy, clean, proovable...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

It's almost a principle in debugging
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
How can you do anything wrong here?

Copy the root folder out of the 240build.prop folder and put i directly in your Android Folder. Reboot phone.

The only thing that would make this easier would be if cope made this build a 240 build and include a 180build.prop folder for those that want it, which seem to be fewer than the 240 users and therefore would create less questions in this thread.

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Where you can find it? Well in system/lib/hw, of course.

Use ES File Explorer from market. click on the SD card icon, upper left corner. Go to system/lib/hw. That's it.

If you can't change the file, have a look at the FAQ and use the same method that is used to copy the build.prop file.

But I don't know if that is the solution to your problem. Lights work as they are supposed to on my phone, running the same build as you do.

[HD2 Android SD Development] eelpout:
Ah, but else do you have installed that's also running constantly? That's the key.

Its probably some other app or service that is causing issues for some of us. I can't seem to get an overnight idle below 120 mA now when it was around 7mA a few days ago. So I'm going to pull out the Amazon AppStore, Volume Locker and anything else I installed over the last couple of days, maybe even the new beta of Swype that just came out. My Android OS usage has jumped to 34%...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Leave the Swype, I can vouch for that one. I have Swype and 7/8mA standby.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
interesting story. yesterday I was comparing my HD2 with a friends EVO 4G. His battery life is worse than mine and his is stock... no modifications.

ealpout, you say you have ~120ma overnight idle draw... So what does that come out to be in real numbers. When your phone is 100% and you go to sleep, what percentage do you lose by the time you wake up? Also how do you come to the 120ma number from overnight draw? Are you using a logs with a graph or something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] eelpout:
Well, last night I went from about 80% at 1 AM to 1% at 8 AM. Luckily caught it just before it died. ;)

I'm using Battery Monitor and Process Monitor widgets for evaluation. Though it's tough to narrow down what is using the resources in exactly what way. "Android System" usage (via PM's analyzer) I believe reflects a lot of services, which isn't that helpful. Something has been killing the ADW Launcher lately too. I think it might be a recent update to agenda widget. One that never gave me issues before.

If anyone has any better suggestions for monitoring tools, I'm listening!
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
Son of a #@$#@

Well, I'm just about ready to scream!

This morning I get up, the battery, despite being plugged in all night has not charged 1% beyond what it was when I went to bed 7 hours earlier.

And, to top it off, I have "No Service" at home anymore where I USED to get 2G since signing up with T-Mobile last year.

All the way to work I've got NO SERVICE as well and when I finally get up to Westminster, I only get EDGE Service not even 2G where I have been getting HSPA+ since I signed up last year ...

Battery draining test

I did a simple test by using two different builds : my 2 months old one and the 20 March one (they are both on my SdCard and I just have to rename them to 'Android' and then launch them via magldr).

For both, after booting, I let them with screen, wifi, data connection and sync OFF. After 10 minutes, I look at Battery Monitor and here are the results concerning the consuming:

- old build: 3 mA

- new build: 25 mA

The two builds have the same apps installed and I did the test several times.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
With the recent news in the media, I'm all ready to blame ATT for any problems haha. I do wonder what will happen to us with our HD2's if the acquisition deal goes through.

Well Warren did state that the newer builds uses a bit more juice than before. Before being the Feb builds. That sounds about right and relatively reasonable.

eelpout, on the other hand has a pretty bad issue. But honestly if you want to test a current build's battery life, should we be testing it stock? With no extras installed?

I don't understand: what is 'reasonable'? the value of 25 mA in standby or the fact that the newer builds use more battery?

25 mA seems to be quite high.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Did you reboot? Try Winmo?

My first contact with the Android world was a froyo build from Mdj. It worked perfectly well for a month. My daily driver. Then, out of the blue, it gave me force closes and all kinds of weird errors.

Things like that just happen. I don't know if the sd card is more receptive to errors than the flash drive. Quite possible.

But even on natural Android phones that have the ROM on internal memory, bugs can happen. Just like our winmo ROMs. Hardreset is the only solution to that.

I think we are a lot better off with our sd builds. If you make a backup of your Android folder once a week you can revert to a stable state in minutes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Well both actually, but the 25ma is still a bit high. Is your overnight drainage as severe as eelpout's? What percentage do you lose in an overnight situation (~6-7hrs)?

Haha, nice. My journey was started the same way. That build was so sweet even if it was kinda laggy. I thought I was a fan of htc sense, but really all I want are their widgets and HTC Synch option at this point. I find a way to get that on my Gingy build and I'm buying beers for EVERYONE! if Warren and Cope get that working somehow outside of my fantasy, I'll buy them a big bag of good weed.

Already on phone storage. I tried moving moving to SD and then back to the phone, not working. Like I said, I think it's a GB problem, or maybe a LCD density problem.

Yea I liked the sense music widget, calendar/agenda widget, and messages widget that listed all of my messages or had a cool sliding rolodeck theme. HTC sync is one of the best pieces of software HTC ever made. I use myPhoneExplorer but its nowhere near the robust/refinement of HTC Sync.
