No lag, no timeouts, no fc errors. Battery drain in Standby below 10mAh, no spikes.

GPS and wifi working. Haven't tried data or Bluetooth.

European HD2

Radio 2.15.50.14

16GB Sandisk Class2

AmeriCanAndroid [May 17]

Did a fresh install, new data.img, restored my apps with Titanium.

Got rid of the tether app and the cm7 music player, since I don't use them and they annoyingly pop up over and over again, after I manually killed them.

Drain seemed to be higher before that, but since I erased them pretty soon, the build might not have had enough time to settle in. But some apps seem to be problematic, at least for some of us, like the K9 email app. So it may be coincidence or not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jake Bullit:
+1 same as Daniel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Whats the cm7 music player, m3?

How do you delete that, with root uninstaller app from market?

Does anybody know a good mail client other than the drain causing k-9?

The stock one is really very bad:

- doesn't show all the recipients of a mail, only way to find out is to reply to all and then discard the draft

- cant "fast scroll" through the list of folders

- cant set folders to the one it uses in outlook (trash, drafts, etc.), therefore it always creates another, aditional folder in outlook

thx!

Ill set the io scheduler to a different one but....just wanna say its not on me if the problem continues.

Considering on my end I have not encountered a single issue with the latest build....its hard for me to believe that this is what has been claimed as the issue.

Is there any way to fix this keyboard from display lock as default intead of the android one?

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Yes, the m3 player.

You can use ES File Explorer to erase it. I've never used Root explorer but i guess it will work, too.

Inside the data.img->system->app

But my post wasn't meant as an advice to erase apps. I just wanted to give a complete picture of my system.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
I made a new data image with 051711 but i have some AWD FC's after my update to 051911 (today i had 3). I hope it will get more stable in time but i dont think this is a good sign.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
+1 here too, mentioned it earlier and it doesn't seem to be going away. Like I said, it just hangs for a while, eventually things get moving again with a popup asking if I want to FC or wait it out, and it seems totally random, sometimes nothing for hours then a few at once (maybe we should refer to this as the 'bus error')
[HD2 Android SD Development] shinji21:
I had the same experience with the FC, especially when the system is downloading or installing apps from market. However, after a couple reboots and a day for it to settle I guess, the problem is gone and I have not experienced the FC issues yet.
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
I have no FC/Wait problem with anything... Actually just with XDA Premium sometimes but I think it's because I keep pressing too quickly when it loads :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
had some FC issues (android-process-media) with the previous American android build which disappeared when i did a clean re-install without titanium backup. It seemed to affect the Market app
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
+1 Cope

I even went as far as creating a new data.IMAGES at work today because of the waiting. Then I came home reformatted my SD after copying everything back and forth 11gb which took a while (well not everything is back yet just titanium backup files) and even after 2nd new data file pre restoring apps still had the wait.

So that's on old and two new data files with an SD format and still getting wait...

But everything else is smoking hot so apart from the waiting (feeling like my old mytouch 3g days) this build rocks... can't judge battery life as titanium restoration takes its toll...

05/19 feedback

Having some issues with calls drops with the 05/19 build. This has happened twice today.

Are others experiencing the same issue?

Btw, I setup two HD2 devices - 1. TMOUS, 2. Telstra, and noticed the TMOUS device's radio initializes almost immediately as the slider screen appears. With my Telstra device, it takes a good few mins and always starts-up in Airplane mode, unlike the TMOUS device. Both devices are running the same radio stack versions. Any ideas?

Any word on the Microsoft Exchange sync lock-ups, as it's also happening on this build?

Anyone else experience auto shutdowns upon first boot? As the slider screen appears, I unlock the device ... put the phone down for a couple of mins, and when I pick it up again it's shutdown. This happened with both the 05/19 and previous.

Btw, hasn't it been great to not see any posts about disabling the LED ;-)

Keep up the great work!

i'm reverting the alledged change which caused this. if it isn't this, there is nothing in the kernel code which would cause such behavior. my inability to reproduce this....kinda hinders me to actually test results.

Maybe it is a cryanogen bug, I also felt it on the 051711 rom, so if the change isn't something you did a build ago it may be on copes end.

[HD2 Android SD Development] rx8dorifto:
Did another flash after formatting my SD with fat32 + Ext3 + linuxswap partitions. Works much better now with lesser FCs but will lag in some occasions.

SMS messages still go disappear after rebooting the phone. Any one know how to solve this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I loaded the reverted kernel and it's performing much better (I still get ONE delay/FC message on initial bootup). I do not lose my messages...There is an app to backup your messages. It's called SMS backup and restore. until you figure out what the problem is, you can use this to save your messages.

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Did you format all your partitions or only the FAT32 one?

Do you use an old data.img or a newly created image?

Did you restore anything and if you did, how?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
I havn't been having any lags, force close issues or any problems with this build now that I did a fresh install and slowly load apps and pictures on it. I did encounter lag and wait prompt when I did update with old image file and during first boot. Now its running so smooth. Battery drain is a little higher than normal but its getting better throughout the day. No usb to pc problems, no slow data. Its running great for me now. Thanks	Cope N Warren

netflix

does the "new" build include the netflix app really?

does it "work" anywhere outside of us/canada or does it just mean wasted space?

kinda reluctant to download, prefer builds with less "included " apps.

its nice when they include the .apk's as optional in another post :) ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You need to find a blank data.img and put that in your android folder before you boot.

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
netflix is included and is of no use to us in the UK, but I don't see how it is wasted space as system.ext2 will be the same size whatever.

The above photo shows how your HD2 registers on Netflix's website AFTER you put the Netflix Master Hack on your HD2. It will be registered on Netflix's web site as supported Netflix Android mobile device [Nexus One].

This has nothing to do with the Netflix app that's in the 5/17/11 and the5/19/11 Android build, which I was the first one to introduce in this thread. Whether you know it or not the Netflix Android that's in those Androids builds have been modified to avoid device checks also, the Netflix app that's in the currrent Android ROM builds is the top one below [A Modified Netflix Android App]. The bottom one below is the virgin Neflix Android app, although they are the same size.

I just want to clear this up to let you guys know that I would never post any software to harm your HD2, nor am I trying to reinvent the wheel .... I am working with others on drum issues and a modified Netflix Android app for non supported Android devices, when the Netflix app is installed, the audio is in a "Chipmunk Like Voice", this will be corrected soon, take care guys .

Internet passthrough is only available with Sense, which thankfully this build does not have.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lewrydiboys:
I don't understand why you say this. I like this build but I would love it if sense was available on it. My opinion. Sometimes I don't have wifi available and data connection always drop and if I have a computer I can connect via usb. If someday sense is available I would like the dev integrate it inthis build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Sense was developed to cover up an ugly OS (WM6,6.5) and as such was a huge success, with the flip clock becoming almost a trademark for HTC. The downside was that it was a huge resource and memory hog.

Android does not need to be hidden in such a way and there are plenty of apps available to do the majority of what sense can do either free or for very little. Sense remains a huge memory and resource hog on android and slows everything down.

For those reasons I would not want it integrated into the build, but if it was available as an option then that would be fine.

device returned to 8 ma within 120 sec after tests.

and cm mod updates from may 19 to today.

you should see evo's new boot animation (it wont be in this release... but OH MY GAWD.. im sure he wont mind if i sneak a couple of frames in for you.. ) lol i can't help it i love it so much... i can't wait to see the finished product lol its sooooo good. - so remember we were needing our scrolling flags part of the animation back.. well check this out....)

now if I read correctly.... there is a modded netflix app? that we can use that doesnt require users to modify the device name in build.prop...? if this is right Im gonna try and track it down and switch ours ot that one.... cause believe it or not... changing the device name in the build.prop is NOT a good idea... lots of the software that is built into the build (ie: camera app) is built specifically to function for the leo. If you change the device name to something else.. there could be side effects. I'm not saying its happening intentionally, but i'm sure many of you remember back back in the day we had a green tint to our pictures that for the most part was being cause by.... anyone remember? ;) thats all im saying. lots to read .. probably will edit this post somemore

uzi's right. if you want sense, there are lots of options already available to you.

;) at this time... we have no plans to release a sense version

is the wired tether app not working?

?????. the netflix app is located in the /android/androidapps/ folder.

so... if you dont want to install it... then just delete it before you boot for the first time. if you didnt bother to remove it and are NOW complaining that its installed, then you can simply go to applications and remove it. if you want to know if it works in your country, google that sht.

less included apps. hmmm.. again... ????????????????????

1 htc keyboard.

2 titaniumbackup. <- we include titanium backup due to the usersbase request. majority rule

3 wifitether.

4 netflix.

(all 4 can be deleted before first boot and thus installing 0 add apps.) attention to detail. ATD. <-- boom. regard that acronym.

hmmm tell you what ill do. for the next release... if you dont wanna use bk2sdext im gonna make it so all you have to do is create an empty text file and call it "nobk2sdext" and place it in your android folder. granted its still easier to just NOT have the extra ext partition and thus bk2sdext will not activate,

but ... this way... users who currently have bk2sdext can disable it if they want.

GPS lock issues

Hello,

First off, love the build!!! I've been updating every time a new version comes out. Netflix is a huge addition!!! The only problem I'm having (other than my digitizer and microphone not working every now then, which is a hardware problem) is I have terrible GPS locking issues. I am currently in Seattle and last night when I would look up an address in Google Maps it would find the address and lock on to my position, which is a good thing since I was doing a bar crawl. But, I am going to be driving across the country soon and I am having no luck using the navigation, facebook places, or really anything that requires GPS. I went through the FAQ's and read the GPS problems section and I believe everything in the /etc/gps.conf is correct. Well, in the gps.conf the country code is north-america. Should it be US instead?? Also, I don't see anywhere in my startup.txt where there is an area to edit the country code. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks so much and again, I love your work!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
There are two apps from the market to help you here. Fasterfix and GPS Status& Toolbox.

You only need to run Fasterfix once to input your local GPS pool.

I run GPS Status before using any GPS app and I get a fix in seconds rather than minutes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Does your GPS work properly in winmo?

If not, it could be a hardware problem.

Do you have those problems when your outside in an open area, too, or does it only happen while driving in your car?

If your car has tinted windows, the tinting can shield your device from the satelite signal, which will make reception erratic or even impossible.

With all your system updates, how old is your data.img and how do you do your backups when you update the build?

You could save your current Android folder to a PC or rename it, copy the latest build to your SD card and let it create a new data.img. Don't do any restoring, this is just a test.

Check if GPS reception is better, with this new, untouched data.img.

And remember, first lock can take a while. Without aGPS, up to 12 minutes. After that first lock, the next one should happen in under a minute, without any tools.

I can cook on my htc :D

I used navi today, power cord was plugged in. After an hour copilot stoped navigation, screen freeses.

My hd2 was untoucheable hot. This issues happened first with this 0519 build

Can anybody confirm that the hd2 is more heating with this build when using apps with high cpu consumtion

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] eelpout:
Sidebar.

I know that smartphone CPUs are running faster and doing a heck of a lot more than PDA's 5 years ago; more active radios etc. But it ticks me off a bit that my old HP iPAQs and WinMo phones could run their GPS software (TomTom, iGuidance etc.) for days on end continuously and never freaking over heat (and consequently, stop charging the battery). Google's Navigation app is the worse offender at this. But even nav apps that don't rely on data for maps like iGo and CoPilot have a similar, though reduced problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I haven't used the navigation function a lot in Android and the last time I did was with one of the April builds and no power cord attached but I had no unusual heating up then.

As you already mentioned, phones today are doing a lot of things in the backround. The HD2 is a pretty slim phone with a lot of cpu power and the software we use for navigation needs and uses that power. That can lead to a lot of excess heat, that is hard to dissipate.

But it shouldn't be so bad, that the phone shuts off.

However, having the phone mounted to the window on a sunny day can do that to your phone.

The sun can easily heat your phone up to 60°C without any help of badly programmed software.

And it's not only the HD2 that has that problem. Apple devices are known for that kind of behaviour, too.

You could try using set cpu or similar software to limit the cpu but my guess is the navigation software won't like it.

The more powerfull our devices get, the more sloppy programmers do their job, taking full advantage of the resources at hand. But that is what the customers want. More bling sells.

I could easily do with voice direction and an arrow for the visual part. But users want live view and stuff like that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] azazellov:
I Just wanted to say that the May 19th release resolved all weird data problems I was having. It also seems to have resolved the power consumption spikes the previous release had. So far this latest build is really good, very fast, everything works flawlessly. In fact it runs much better than a lot of native Android phones released recently. Pretty amazing since the HD2 is starting to be be pretty old and is a Windows phone.

I'm going to buy the HTC Sensation 4G the day it comes out even though I'm really pissed about the bootloader being signed. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to install custom ROMs on it in the future. Either way I'll keep the HD2 and update it regularly with AmeriCanAndroid as a backup phone.

Once again thank you for all the hard work.
