USB2PC Problem

Hey guys...

I know it was reported before but I just wanted to note that this issue is still existing in latest build (even in internal build 051811 if that matters):

USB2PC Dialog shows up in Notification Bar and if I activate it the SD is visible to my PC.

BUT any changes on my SDCard will not be visible from android before a full system reboot. Files are physically changed on SDCard but it seems as the new file jornal is not read into android system.

I tried dis- and reconnecting the card within settings but that didn't help. You have to reboot the phone after using USB2PC

//Edit: rechecked and have to change my report:

The changes are NOT there physically. Instead filling the folder I copied to all data lands in LOST.DIR
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I use my own judgement. If there are alot of changes in the new build, I backup with Titty Backup and restore to a newly created data.img. After 4 releases of doing this. The 5th one I will backup everything to my pc along with a fresh TB backup included. Then I format the SD card in winmob, and copy the new android folder after.

USB to PC connection is working fine for me. My phone doubles as my main mp3 player so I am constantly updating my playlists and use the usb function alot. No problems yet. I just uploaded 2 episodes of The Wire and Nurse Jackie before I went to work and watched them on the train fine using QQ player.

The new boot-animation is cool but it seems to make my boot time longer. *shrug* I dunno. I still like my old after trying a buncha others, however. I might list the alternatives in a later post. But evoirs, cool stuff, regardless, man.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The problem is that the SD is still visible to the android system - potential conflict and corruption
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
but WHY?

By the way... Why do you guys do that with data.img? Would'nt it be better to have a partition with 1GB for android instead of a file?

In my oppinion there are much benefits:

+Way less data fragmentation

+You could just unmount the FAT32-Partition and give that to the PC instead of fiddling around as you do now.

Only contra argument is that it would be more complicated to wipe and backup data.img. But what is better? Performace or ease of use on every big update where you'd have to clean your data.img (happens about every six to twelve weeks or so)?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I agree and have asked before. The system would need it's own partition too - system.ext2

Ease of use - not hard to reformat the partitions when required.
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
Great news, as my Lexar 32 GB C10 is on its way. Thanks for all the info. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
After I overwrite the old build with the new Android build, I defrag my SD card everytime with Pocket Mechanic's defrager. Works great.
[HD2 Android SD Development] delta-roh:
Sir, I've done it based on the last release. Results:

- pairing with Notebook (Win7-64Bit) works at once; after pairing the phone connects and disconnects randomly; I managed to send a file from notebook to phone only once; in properties of the phone in the bluetooth device section of Win 7 there are no bluetooth services displayed on the sevices tab, but if you open the tab, the connection will be established, but closed again after about 3 seconds

- pairing with my car works at once (took about 5-10 min and several tries before); no connect/disconnect problem any more; contacts, last calls, etc. are transfered; calls work perfect; ignition off -> disconnect --- ignition on -> connect at once; simply perfect!

Thank you very much - my main problem (car connection) is resolved with this patch! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
I've noticed that copying files to the phone over usb works fine on my XP machine at home, but not on my Windows 7 PC at work. Anyone else seen that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] pookle798:
updating question

quick question:

i updated my phone from the 0512 build to the 0517, keeping my data.img file from the 0512 build. it looks like most of my settings are still in there, and my apps, which is great...however, all the icons and widgets and shortcuts that i had on my 5 front windows are all gone.

how can i restore all those without having to put them all back in by hand again?

thanks,

pj

Camera

Hi was looking through the post but far too many to see if this is a repeat question. so any way i got win7 on nand and this on sd so the sd card that is 8gig is partioned to have win seven and sd fat 32. The problem i got is that when i start the cam in android is says to plug in are sd card for storage even though i put a 2 gig data.img in the android folder. Is there any way i can get the cam to work
[HD2 Android SD Development] der_mattin:
MEE Too!! GREAT! IT WORKS!! :D

Thanks al lot for this, have waiteing long for it!

If you can get back to previous build for a while, use Backup/Restore in ADW Settings, then back to 0517 and import/restore, could work

Battery life

I'm using the last build [one before May 17th update] and I have been having battery problems. Yes i have gone to the FAQ and done what it says. Tried a few times and see no results. I have all connections off during the day other than the phone network. I have task killer and press it every time I unlock my phone.. Even with it in my pocket and not doing anything i loose around 10% battery every hour. Any ideas ?? Will updating to the 17th help? I didn't see anything in the updates about battery...
[HD2 Android SD Development] shinji21:
The 0517 build is working great for me. Thanks again!!

Just wondering if the 100 point circle battery notification from 0505 build would work for the latest build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
You should try these in maybe this order:

*always backup your entire sdcard to your pc first*

*always wait at least 3 days of normal use for the battery and build to settle down*

reformat the sdcard

clean install

re-import files using something like Titanium Backup

see if bat is better

if not

try a different sdcard, and do the same steps mentioned above for another clean install.

see if bat is better

if not

check how old yoru phone is.

if more than a year or so, your battery is just dying

buy new battery, and do the same steps mentioned above for another clean install.

see if bat is better

Have you tried the built-in one from the stock CM settings?
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
Getting massive battery drain, 20% (100 to 81) during ten minutes of net surfing, with latest build!

I have noticed that NetFlix and Google's Music player were constantly running in the background, so have uninstalled both. Will see if that makes a difference.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
Well, that is fairly conclusive...

Travelled exactly the same web route, same articles etc, after ten minutes, battery lost just 1% (100 to 99)!

All I did was remove NetFlix and Google music player. Happy Bunny now :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] markber:
Awesome, this works for me! Great to have BT again ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] markber:
Awesome, thanks for researching this and finding a potential fix!

Experiencing the same issues - would be great to test whether or not this works in a future build. Cope, is this something you are looking to add?
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
Just an update... I've had a couple of emails from the guy who did all the work fixing it (and who should get credit if we use the fix applied to this build). He's been in touch with CM directly to try to find the email apk owner and had a response:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/23983-email-app-owner/

He told me he's going to try to update the Gerrit tonight so the fix might come down with a nightly that Cope pulls down after that. I have to admit I have little idea of how all of that flows, so Cope may be able to confirm.

EDIT: Also... someone on the Google team saw the original issue thread I found and has taken ownership of the issue. Looks like the fix is going to go into the stock email app Android base code as well!
[HD2 Android SD Development] markber:
Double awesome!
[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
Task killer make drain even bigger in most cases, so dont use it. I takes more power to start again killed application than let it running in background all the time, there are exceptions, but not many.

[HD2 Android SD Development] f3lixc:
having a noob problem however im no noob....then again i may as well be since i cant figure out what iam doing wrong....downloaded the NEW version 2.3.4 HOWEVER after it 'self-boots' and i boot it up again....it loads untill the 'screensaver' part but then it just freezes....anyone who had/have this issue know how to solve it? tia

EDIT:NVM had to replace files with the ones in SDMAG' & delete the 'image file' included in the android folder....all good now to install titanium back up & restore all my APPs :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Could be any of several things:

1. A bad install in which case just unzip the file afresh and try again

2. You are using old data.img in which case create new data image

3. Your Sd card could be corrupt - if so format

4. Your Sd card is running out of free space - check whether you have at least 2Gb free space

5. Nothing wrong. Sometimes it takes a few reboots to get it to work.... :D

Edit>>>> Naughty boy. You edited your post as I was typing my response which after all missed the correct answer!!!! ;)

Keyboard!

Happy burger Thursday day to all! (Though, there's nothing like that at least in m country :) )

Can anybody extract the HTC IME keyboard from this build or tell me how to install on other non-sense ROMs? I've already tried posted HTC_IME mod on another thread with SuperRAM build. It always force closes.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Quick question - has the fix permissions been altered to perform the first shutdown as part of the first boot rather than a few minutes after loading into Android? Just the last two builds have shut down for me while the Spacedroid is dancing and not after booting into Android like it used to
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
19 May

Another easy and smooth update to the latest build...

USB to PC issues persist

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13760435&postcount=7929

Tablet Tweaks soft button

I'm unable to copy the framework-res.apk to make this work with the latest build.

This is what it looked like before

I'm using home, settings and back soft buttons, but there are more options available under Tablet Tweaks in CyanogenMod settings.

Please, please, please can we have this option in the build

"frameworks/core/res/res/values/config.xml" and set the values "cm_default_is_tablet" and "cm_default_has_soft_buttons" to true instead of false

edit: update - solved

You need to install and load the theme before copying the framework
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Just updated also (and cleaning old temp files, of course);

Tried BT, and YES, pairing is faster than before : everything is quite made in on second !

Will try others things after, but seems very good !!!

I also have received my 32Gb class 10 MicroSD, and after a copy, everyhting was very slow, not usable at all !!!!!!

But after trying having changed the cache size and others things : nothing very good.

I think that, as said, system has to be relaunched more than once !

What i've done in order :

- copy from class2 16Gb to 32 Gb car,

- booting new SD (not partitionned at all) : very slow;

- SD speed test : faster than class 2 (class2, R/W = 7,6/15), class 10 is about 10 and 22)

- installing sd speed software : changing to 4096 : idem

- reboot to try : before than first;

- trying 4072 : same;

- reboot : setting to 2048 again, uninstalling software;

- restart = ok, quite as fast than before;

- update this morning (in my country) to build 1905;

- everything is like with 16Gb, as far as now...

Good job for this build.... "What else ?!"

Hi Uzi,

Are there any major changes between todays build and 17/5 build with new kernel. Just wondering whether there is need to update now or wait for next build. My internet speed is as slow as the steam engine trains..... :eek:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The main change will be Warren's work on the kernel, which I guess you already have. Maybe you should invest in a decent internet connection
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
currently on 1705 build atm as im at work, and just found a couple of problems.

wifi doesnt turn on anymore? even when it cannot find a network to connect to it doesnt turn on? im sure it was fine when i first made the data.img, nothigns changed since then but now nothing.... perhaps corrupt files from the USB to PC thingy.

also had a couple of notifications in the toolbar, "updates found" and "app installed" however when i tapped the updates on, instead of lauching the market to install updates like it should. it jsut cleared the notifications and stayed on homescreen.

hmmmm :confused:

Mine is with the r512 build at 4Mah at idle some times even 2 or 3.

Thats with a class 2 sandisk card.

2 or 3?

Sooner, it will even recharge your battery ?! (i'm jalous, only that ;-))

Never went lower than 7 or 8 (don't remember exactly)...

good for you...

[HD2 Android SD Development] noamke:
Hey guys

Thank you for all the hard work.

But my problem is the battery drain while the screen is on and i'm actually using the phone.

on stand by it's cool (5-7 mah) but things like browsing pictures, playing music, web browsing and stuff like that for 5 minutes makes me lose 3-5%.

so i'm always worried about my battery

tried everything. even switching to different radio versions.

do you think that the WM rom has something to do with that?

my rom is 1.66.7070.1 (76641) WWE

I'm using a bootlader to boot into android after 3 sec.

and on WM it's on flight mode, no sense or anythings that could drain my battery.

tried my best to deal with the battery drain issue, no GPS, BT, apps running in the backround, brightness set to 1%.

and still, no matter what i'm doing I can see the battery % go down too fast

is it normal? how much time does it take for you to lose 1% from your battery

while using the phone ?

any help guys?

Thanks in advance!

[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Me also, I get about 5mA sometimes, mostly 7-8 though
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Anyone tried to monitor battery drain with latest build ?

i can't go lower than 58 :confused:

tried plane mode, no data/reboot, still the same :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Well, I'm assuming that the last page of posts are all with the latest build.

It sounds like you need Battery Calibration or apply the process in the FAQ.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Sorry for this newbie question, it's just that i never made this calibration...

My fault :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] noamke:
Hey Uzi2

mine has nothing to do with the latest build, it's the same with every build I guess

I know all about the Battery Calibration but it never really helped

I'd love to see what you have to say about my problem

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
download the app i nthe marketplace Battery Calibration, let it charge to 100% and then start the app and push the button to calibrate.

can also try finding out if any apps are playing up like the firefox app that was found to be draining another users battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
I'm currently on 4-5 mah (051911). Range is not optimal here (tower building) i only have 2 bars on G mode. Used currend widget to get the readout.

[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Thanks for your tips, application/services part was already made, so currently doing batt calibration and if it works... shame on me ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I don't understand your problem. It's a bit like putting your foot down whilst driving and being surprised that you're using petrol.

The biggest drain on the battery is the display, then the radio, then CPU.

Expect high consumption with a process that makes high demand on all three.

If it doesn't, take a look at Watchdog. It can help you to identify any misbehaving apps.

have to do it within android once its booted, just edit the file in build.prop

/system/build.prop > edit > 'ro.lcd.density=' or similar, change to desired setting,

reboot and voila

Without extensive testing:

I think netflix prevented my WiFi to even FIND networks! After deinstall, I could find and connect the usual wifi networks.

Additionally, I don't get an HSDPA connection, only EDGE (which to me is not a big thing). I tried switching between 2G/3G, but without any effects.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Battery Calibration made @100%

Making cycle of 100%=>1% at least twice (doing the first right now), to be sure Android stats are correct...

i'll tell you later about effect and mA consumtion, no problems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] felixdd:
I have the same radio, and I'm not having any freezing issues.

When you say freezing, do you mean your device doesn't turn on after it sleeps? That's known as "screen of death" (SOD) or "black screen of death" (BSOD), and you can combat that by a combination of reformatting your SD card to a larger cluster size (increases read speed) and also increasing your minimum CPU speed to 384 MHz. Finally, I find that the Lense lockscreen has the least amount of lag (but yes it's the ugliest as well).

If it doesn't install or boot up at first, make sure you have enough space on your SD card! Even though the build is a few hundred mbs, it creates a data.img file that's a gig in size.

HSPL isn't required to run SD builds, since it runs on top of WinMo. I'm running ACA on stock SPL and it works fine for the most part (except I'm not running it as my daily OS yet).
