The LED issue should be a thing of the past. It was a bug for a long time but has been resolved by the cyanogenmod team for a while now.

Which build are you using?

You may not like to hear it but there have been a number of people now that experienced problems with class10 cards. There are also people with those cards that have no problems but it seems to me the class 10 are more susceptible to errors.

Try to use a slower card, if you have one.

Sometimes it also helps to just do a fresh install again. I don't know why, but that's the way it is.

Cope, I'm with geenyous on this one!

Ya Know geenyous, I'm with you on this one. I was really being lazy and wanted to originally respond to copenhagen's post, but now that you have posted 2 or 3 times voicing your stance, I feel the need to say something too.

I am not a total newb to this thread, but didn't join the bandwagon until an early April build of ACA. Even though I was installing every build, I never posted in this thread because I thought it necessary to learn as much as I could first. Now I'm semi-seasoned and have observed those that contribute to this thread, I would like say that they all do a stellar job doing so.

But back to geenyous's stance, I agree. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I think that copenhagen's comments were probably made at a time when he might have been tired/stressed or maybe he was just having a bad moment? Or maybe he is just a mean son-of-a-*****??? JOKING!!! ... LOL!!!. But what ever it was, I agree with geenyous in that we must be tolerant to those who first discover threads like this (isn't that the XDA way?). Remember, there are close to 9400 posts and even though the first page is truly informative, it might not be as informative to someone with lesser or no experience at all (and almost 9400 posts are quite a read!!!). We were all new at one time & shouldn't we not want to chase away potentials people that could carry on the torch?

Don't get me wrong, I do for the most part, agree with what was stated in cope's post. But was kinda surprised that we would just delete threads rather than try to help a few lost souls out there. There ARE a few that are just down-right lazy, but your "team" takes care of 99% of "that" crowd.

I do respect that you might want to make a statement every now and then, when you notice things are kinda getting out of hand, but we shouldn't loose respect for those poor newbies that just don't know better (and there are really not THAT many in comparison to other threads).

As usual, I always want to let the devs know how WE appreciate Copenhagen & Warrenb213's blood, sweat and tears that you both must put into ACA daily and it shows through what it is as of today: a masterpiece that will go down as one of the HD2's top (if not the top) android build, period..... Much praise to you both!

What is the difference between cell standby and phone idle?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Marct77:
Thanx for the quick reply,I'm using the latest build,and since my earlier post I've noticed the LED thing seems to be a bit hit and miss,mostly it stays on after locking but occasionally it goes out as it should.

I have some lower class cards to try,class 4 I think,so I'll give one a go,but would really like to use the larger capacity of this one for storing music,never mind,I'll have to cut back on MP3's I suppose....
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
That's a very good question, but judging from the times, I would guess that mobile standby is all the time you are connected to a network (normally the whole time) and phone idle is actually when the device is not active.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Re: LED issue, when I first installed 5/26, they were fine. Then, they stopped working. But, I followed the guidance of going into settings, sound, toggle the LED charging light, restarted and it eventually worked right.

[So, I dont think the LED issue is connected to the SD card type.]

Does ACA play nice with other SD builds? I think I'm going to mess around with Raf's SD, and if they can get along that's cool. ACA is still gonna be my #1, but I can't help but tinker with stuff. Plus, It'd be cool to have WP7 and Android with and without Sense all on the same phone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Marct77:
It's a different issue I think,although I did spot that advice back down in the timeline,I tried it but it didn't seem to make any difference....

LED

My LED doesn't turn on when charging. That's the only issue I have, but it doesn't really bother me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You can use as many SD builds as you like and they won't interfere with each other, but don't be tempted to rename Android for ACan as it will cause problems.

Generally each are self-contained within their own folders and you can choose which one to boot using Exceller.

I'm also confident that you won't find a better one :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
I know I won't either, but like I said, I can't help to tinker, and since this build is damn near perfect, I figured it'd be fun to mess around with Sense. Raf is in the renamed folder, I would never put anything else in Android other than ACA ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
LED not on when charging

hopefully it works for you as it did for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Kris answered this for you a couple of posts up

I will continue to avoid Sense at all costs - here is my latest rant on the subject...

To be honest, I only remembered that one, when you mentioned it but since he also has other issues that sound to me very much like problems with the card or something gone wrong with the installation, a fresh install or trying another SD card are not a bad idea.

May 26 Build

well i havent tested much on my end with the little time i have had but data is pretty stable. I had an issue where i was getting some lag but after a few reboots that seems to have gone away. bluetooth using Gremote Pro works. Have not tested wifi yet. The build before this latest I had issues with it dropping every 10 seconds or so. i rarely use WIFI anyways.

Much faster in every way. No GPS issues here and data speeds are much faster than normal. I would say this for me could be used as a daily build. One thing I did notice but not sure if it was just my signal or what but about 5 minutes into a phone call the reception turned to a warbling sound and I could not understand the caller. ended the call and called my voicemail. no problem so i figure its nothing major. No MMS issues. Send/Recv works fine. Had User agent set to Android and pics came out blurry so I set it to Nokia N95 and it recv's pics fine now.

Thanx for the continued work guys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I can understand, that you want to use your new card.

Just try installing it on a slower card as a test.

See if it works better for you.

In case it does, you can try copying it to your new card. Maybe you are lucky and it will work.

I have the suspicion that the danger of getting read/write errors is higher with the faster cards. A little like it is with writing speeds for burning CDs. I remember that when the CD drives made a jump to very high speeds, users where advised to use slower speeds for important stuff because the chance for errors was lower that way.

I'm not sure if it's something similar with SD cards but the System gets installed and run of that card and having eroors in the code may well lead to unwanted effects.

The SD card is a very important part in all this and we've had users before that had weird problems that vanished after they switched to another SD card. That doesn't only go for the class 10 cards, it can also happen to slower cards. It's possible you have to cards, same manufacturer, same size, same class and one of them works the other one causes problems, although both cars work OK with other builds or other uses.

I stopped asking why such things happen pretty soon after I had my first computer and that was a long time ago. Ever since, when something weird happens with one of my computers or computer like devices, I tell myself: expect the unexpected when you deal with computers.

I admit freely that I was still discussing 5/26, because I was looking at xda forums on my phone and hadn't gotten to Cope's newest masterpiece yet!!

I'm looking forward to playing with the softkeys, but also, I've been using Zeam as my launcher, and I've found you can very, very easily customize what is on the bottom. Have to see what is up. I did notice that when i use the theme selector it messed my widgets up and I had to reinstall them.

[Edit: LOL, weren't we just saying how we hadn't been hearing about the LED problem lately? HAH).
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
Got my light back, thanks. I had remembered seeing that a while back but had forgotten the steps. Thanks again for the refresher.

Uzi, I remember that rant. And I agree. Sense has a couple nice features, but I don't know of it's worth the resource consumption. Still fun to play around with from time to time though. I will have to say, spending a couple hours with Rafpigna's build makes this build seem even more ridiculously fast than it already is. Sense is super lagtastic.

missed call screen death

Great, great, great build chiefs.

Just have a problem to report regarding 052611 build where after I get a missed call the screen refuses to work. The physical buttons on the bottom light up when pressed, so the device is working however the screen doesn't. I have to remove the battery to restart and then everything works fine and goes back to normal. Any suggestions (other than just pick up the phone when I get a call) would be appreciated.

Just a general inquiry about AppBrain and AmeriCanAndroid.

Is it safe to update all the apps in the Manage App section with this build? :confused:

ie. Gmail, Netflix, Google voice etc.....or will it screw up this build if I do so.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I dont think there is any risk to updating applications with these builds. I've done it using both titanium and market.

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
I was just concerned with apps like Gmail because sometimes it has been found that a certain version of an app works better with a build than others........kinda like the different versions of Manila that were bullet proof more than others and that's why chefs would use a certain HTC mail program over newer ones. Hence, my hesistation just to go ahead and update all the apps that AppBrain recommended updating, that were preinstalled on the latest AmeriCanAndroid build. Does this make sense ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
If you're still concerned. Back them all up first and you can always roll back to a previous version. One that won't update properly at the moment is OI File Manager, but that's a CM7 thing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Updated last night and everything seems to have gone smoothly. No wifi issues despite using warrens updated kernel a few days ago, had the charging light issue but just spotted uzis suggestion to get it back so ill see if that's worked after work tonight. Sadly I'm still getting a few not responding wait/FC errors, seem to have lessened slightly but they're still there. I just did a quick upgrade this time bit I did a format and restore a few days ago which didn't seem to make any difference. Its not spoiling my enjoyment though so thanks as always to the lads.

Simple install, no magldr, no partitions.

screen death

I've just experienced a similar thing (0529), but it was immediately after a notification. All that comes on is the button lights and pressing them again gives a green LED. I just heard another notification and the Red LED comes on when I plug in the charger, so all appears to be working apart from the screen. I've left it a while, bus as you say the only thing to do is pull the battery.

I have the same problem with a new data.img. The phone will ring on incoming calls and I can answer with hardware key but the screen

is blank and cannot do anything until I remove the battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SPEEDHAMMER:
i tried that.i even tried the new build(052911) and the older build(05052011)...both returned the same 'Kernel open failed' error in Magldr...thich is strange because the 050511 build worked flawlessly in Magldr before i switched to this build.Any idea whats causing this new strange error.i have to say i partitioned my sd card for wm7 as per to this tutorial:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944288)...might the sd card be causing the prob.tks alot.

mgldr 113 ?

yep.magldr 113...i dont wanna flash magldr again cus that wud lead to installing wm7 agaain,partitioning sd card again...quite tedious...but if theres any confirmation that this will sove the problem,i dont mind:)...pls let me know guys.tks
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
two weeks ago i tried another sd built on another sd card. the result was the same : error. i reflashed the new mgldr and the error solved . i use wp7 and amdroid too. you dont need reinstall wp7.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Daveyg99:
NIce one, I have only recently got into the Andriod scene, and therefore a bit new to all this, I know I don't like winmo.sense anymore..

From this May 26th build the phone I noticed is far more more responsive and snappy than the last build, thanks for that.. just a couple of queries if someone could point me in the right direction.

I still get the occasional fc error. I ran fix permisions rebooted etc, the fc's has reduced from the last build, any pointers to stabilise this further?

sometimes it's difficult for the phone to aquire the signal, and hold it for data. I live in a major city so it's not coverage is there something I can look at maybe?

Battery has improved considerably, again anything that you can suggest to help battery life is appreciated.

Many thanks

ok great!...btw,does reflashing magldr still keep wm7 n my partitions intact?...i just have to reflash magldr rite?...tks alot:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] alqali:
Thanks Uzi2. I'm reassured that I'm not the only one having this issue and hopefully its not a big deal to fix. I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the fixed rotary revamped lock screen. The only thing I am basing this on is that it is a new addition to the build and that after reverting to the slide lock screen the problem has yet to reoccur. Again I am just guessing here so it might be something else entirely.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SPEEDHAMMER:
i reflashed magldr...problem still remains...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You will ned to guess again. I use the tab slider lock screen. So far the blank screen has only happened to me once.

Hi,

"I'm having pb with build beginning of Mars ! Why ?"

oh, sorry, forgetting silly question, as wanted... ;-)

Update to 0529, and with only data tested and app, seems great for the moment, no more FC screens.

With LED, the tip to tick/untick was perfect !

now, i know that : before 90% : LED; between 90 and 100% nothing, @100% : green LED. Just have to know ;-)

Good job !

Now trying with partitions, to see if perf are better ;-)

Hi Guys, same problem here. Had issues with 0526 and now also with 0529.

Simple setup (clrcad, Haret) no partitioning.

Screens stays black, as if it does not respond.

I did install the beta version of Swype, I removed it (thought this could be the issue, no problems before I had Swype(installed it with 0526 build)).

When I had to pull my battery for the third time since the 0526 build.

Since I removed Swype no blackscreen (has been 4 hours now), but I report back if this is the issue

Regards...

B.t.w. I did the small update between 0526 and 0529(just for info)

Battery Consumption

Hi All,

How's your battery consumption for past few builds 26 & 29??? I didn't get any lower then 16mh, usually it is around 24 or even 54mh with everything switched off, fresh install, new data tried on partitioned and unpartitioned 4gb class 4 card using stock rom 3.14 latest 2.15 radio, tried two different batterys, before use they were calibrated usin calibration tool from the market... With older builds i was always getting ~4-8 in standby... apart from that builds are super duper fast and smooth Kind Regards to C&W ( best developers on XDA) :D :D :D

alright.this is the full message i got from MAGLDR:

'ANDROID LOAD at 11800000(white color)

from MicroSD(green color)

Load zImage(white color)

K:/ANDROI~1/zImage(white color)

SD kernel open failed(red color)'

...really confused now...whats causing this error despite repeated attempts to solve it(reflashing magldr,trying previous builds and correctly following all installation instructions?...)need help...pls...tks
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
my method was that if mgldr works well it should be a file problem, corrupted , wrong attr. or something. maybe its not the most advanced way . sd card out , card reader , win7 , windows will offer a check and repair , i let it. delete the old files and copy the new version again. sounds like a clean install ... :rolleyes:

if not working it should be the problem of extraction ... and so on....

Sorry, it was just a mistake on my part, in fact I was using the FEB24 build (the latest one available at that time).

I don't have access to un-official builds, no need to be angry (birds ?).

For my defense, just remember that I was going to sleep at that time, and made this little typo.

I am back to work now, and will not be able to try all the instructions you gave.

I just want to make clear that I have started with a clean install. I reformatted the ext partitions before. Did not provide my own data.img. And did not install any weird third party app. The only one I have added is CurrentWidget.

You tell that there are only 2 people you faced that problem, by how many people are using this build with ext4 partitions ?

Anyway, I can't do more for now, will give more feeback this evening (I mean : evening here in Europe).
[HD2 Android SD Development] snowsailor:
I respect this.

Allow me to note that the issue was reproducable with newly formated ext and swap-partitions.

Just my 2 cents:

Now, after reformating the sd-card and solely creating a fat32-partition and reinstalling build 24b I currently do not encounter configuration-loss problems after reboot any more.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Do you use ext3 or ext4 ?

/system/bin/logwrapper echo "+++ Lazy unmount of /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"

/system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox umount -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

/system/bin/shutdown.orig

to

It Works :-)

I have just formatted the fat32 part of my sd card and installed the 24th build onto it. booted and waited for everything to happen and waited with baited breath.

I need not have worried as as soon as I checked my applications as if by magic they were all there :D Not tested them all yet but would just like to add my appreciation to you guys for all the hard work that you have put into this build.

Just one thing, my home screen reverted back to the initial screen rather than the one I had set up. Is that normal? Its not a problem for me to set it all up again I just wondered if I had done something wrong.

Thanks again :D
