Only purchased apps will populate in the myapps list. Free apps will not.

Not sure why your having issue with app store... is this a fresh build? If you are booting other builds from the same SD card make sure they are partitioned correctly.

Make sure compatibility mode is not selected in settings.

I suggest reformatting SD card and start fresh again. I've never had that issue with AmeriCanAndroid builds.

I find it takes a few days of running & reboots for the Battery to sort itself out. This isn't just for the battery but also for the speed. The phone seams to run faster & smoother after about 3 days and 5-6 reboots.

Google App Market only saves your paid apps. ([rant]IMHO a serious usability issue, even the WinMo App store worked that one out, how hard is it to add a "favourate" button, seriously google...[/rant]). I'm trying an app call App Brain App Market, that syncs your app list to the cloud (twitter/Google/FB authentication) I won't know how well it works untill the next build comes online. Other option is Titanium Backup which now syncs your backups to DropBox. I used to just scrub the Ext & Linux Swap partitions then reuild them for a fresh build. Then reinstall with TB (all backups left intack on the FAT32 partition), only I found after a few rebuilds the TB installs became buggy, so in my 041311 build I actually installed all fresh from the App Store and with much less bugs. Hoping with App Brain can now do this everytime.

Still GPS Problems

After trying everything that was suggested here and in other threads, the GPS fix takes a very long time mostly over 10 minutes (not only the first one). In some cases no fix at all. I always have good fixes when I return to WinMo. Does anyone else have this problem or did anyone solve this problem? Thanks

Accessing the Market

In addition to the comments written about the Market, I noticed after I hit the install on the selected item in the Market it takes few minutes for the actual download to start. Nothing major, but a bit different.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Thats something I can relate to actually, in WinMo GPS always used to locate exactly where I was, accurate to the small town where I live.

Android only locates what county/state/area (UK) Im in, nothing more accurate.

Not really a problem, but ya'know

Just upgraded from 021611 to 041311, everything seems fine, battery lasts like i'v gotten used to from previous builds, only the gps issue.. i stood outside trying to get a fix and gave up after about 4 minutes, maybe if i had more patience i would wait more to see if it gets a fix at all.. but..

anyway, thumbs up AGAIN for the great build

Do you have excess battery drain when bluetooth on?

--summoner
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Are you using Fasterfix and GPSStatus&Toolbox?

It's never taken more than 40s for me using this combination.

I always get the fix first with GPSStatus before using the app that requires GPS.
[HD2 Android SD Development] damathos:
Another solution is if you're on dual OS (WinMo & Android), which I think is the case, juste once a week boot in Winmo and update the GPS Data (QuickGps).

It always worked for me, GPS fix is then less than 30sec.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
GPSStatus&Toolbox updates the satellite data in exactly the same way as QuickGPS in Winmo. Unless you are saving the satellite data somewhere on the SD card where it can be read in Android as well, using QuickGPS is not going to help you at all.
[HD2 Android SD Development] damathos:
Well, that is what I thought... but everytime I update GPS Data with GPSstatus/toolbox, it takes quite a long time before first fix (1 to 2 min, ok, not that long, but still). And EVERYTIME I update with WinMo's QuickGPS, fix is less than 30sec ... go figure ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] tarkboffin:
Have you edited the startup.txt [using notepad++ or linus editor]? if you set gps_zone=gb (or your equivalent country code) fix is pretty fast
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
That part of the startup.txt is not used in this build. You would have to change the gps.config file in root to achieve that.

The first fix can take up to 13 minutes even when you are outside on a field with no objects blocking the view.

After that a fix should be pretty fast, under a minute, unless it has been some time since your last sat fix.

Go to wikipedia and look up how gps is working, especially the part about the almanac.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
GPS problem

I use fasterFix and GPS Status and toollbox with fasterfix I changed the gps.conf to my region, I tried the quickGPS in WinMo but always if I have a fix almost 10 minutes. The only thing I didn't do is pray, I'll have to try that
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I can assure you that it has nothing to do with QuickGPS as it stores it's satellite info in the Windows folder. Android can't see that.

If it speeds up, it can only be as a result of the reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The Winmo QuickGPS and GPSStatus & Toolbox use Assisted GPS for a faster first fix, so everyone who is experiencing long wait times to establish a fix even when using Fasterfix and GPSStatus should ensure that they have "Use wireless networks" checked as well as "Use GPS satellites"
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Yes, we do have AGPS.

But without data Enabled and without "use wireless network", the almanac that is needed for the sat fix is downloaded via the gps reciever and that can take the mentioned 13minutes to download.

But once the almanac is downloaded the fix should be there quickly, even without the any assistance.

So, to the people that have a problem with the sat fix, try this.

Start your gps, let it get a fix, no matter how long it takes. Turn gps off, once you've had a sat fix, wait for 5 minutes and turn it on again. No reboots, just wait a couple of minutes. How long does it take to get the second sat fix?

LED-related battery and update on 04132011 Build

My update on 04132011 build:

- Data RARELY drops, but when it does I just use "Restart Connections" and connection is up and running in no time

- Prolonged LED flashes (SMS, mail, etc... notifications) will drain battery at ~70mA when the phone is on standby. I only leave the notification on for "low battery" and "low disk space" in LEDmeknow and so far I have 5~8 mA on standby.

- I read that some people get GPS lock under 30 secs but I usually get in 5 minutes or less. Perhaps I'm not doing it correctly. :rolleyes: Do you guys just turn "Faster Fix" and GPS Status on first before going into Navigation? (Sorry the the noob question) :p

Unrelated questions: What are the must-have apps do you guys sport on your AmeriCanAndroid? :)

EDIT:

Per uzi2's and shamez23's tips, I use GPS Status to get the first lock, which takes about 3 minutes or so. Then I turned off the GPS for 5 minutes and turned it back on again. It took about 20 secs to get a lock. Great!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You only need to read a few posts back for the answers but...

Fasterfix only has to run once. I obtain the first fix with GPS Status (make sure you have "Use Wireless networks" checked as well as "Use GPS satellites"), before using the app that requires GPS. 30-40s max for first fix.

I don't think this should be discussed here - have a look in the Apps and Themes section.

Nice to know, and good for you...

but if you want some help, you need to provide us with some information. For example, it would help us to know the following:

1) Did you

read the FAQ????

2) Are you running via WinMo6.5 from SD of from MAGLDR 1.13?

3) How long are you waiting, 1st boot can take some time, as it builds a Data.img file

4) Have you partitioned your SD card?

5) Do you have enough space on your SD card

6) did you rename the Android directory

7) do you have anohter android build on your phone?

If you want help you need READ the FAQ and give us a bit more information, how are we supposed to help, if you only tell us it doesn't work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
There are 300.000+ apps in the Android market. I estimate there are about 1000 apps that can be considered as good apps plus a couple more that are variations of those apps. The rest is just garbage.

Still, we are talking about 1000+ apps here, that are "must haves" to some and "must not have at all" to others.

We are already at over 500pages in this thread, if every user would start listing his or her prefered apps, we would add another 500 pages in no time.

It's really up to you. What you like, what you need, what you miss.

If you need help in finding a special app, maybe one you used in winmo or in another ROM, you can ask for it here, although this thread really isn't about doing that. At least it's somehow related, since you experiment with this build and having this one app or not shouldn't be the reason you decide against using this build.

But just throwing in lists of the apps we use is really a waste of time and space.

It wouldn't be usefull to you and it would be a real pain for those that come here to find solutions to problems they are having with this build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] materoprodutions:
thank youi very much for this new update. I LOVE IT. only problem I have is: after restoring apps with titanium, if I go to settings_sound it forces close and It doesn't let me change anything. I guess it's an application but I can't figure out what it is...

Also On the first boot the phone didn't reboot by itself after 15minutes or so as it says it should (on the instructions on the first page). Is that normal?

Last question: I have a 16gb sd card class10, it's formatted FAT32. Should I move my apps to SD or let them intall on the internal storage. I have about 65 apps total...

THANK YOU
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I'm not sure what's causing your sound settings problem.

It will only reboot if you have partitioned your SD card, so yes that's normal.

65 apps will be fine within your 1GB data.img - no need to move anything to SD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
As far as I know that auto reboot only is active, if you have your sd card partitioned to use backup2sdext.

Apps automatically install to sd. Some apps, like angry birds, don't work from sd. So if you get FCs from one of your apps, move it from sd to phone memory.

Since this build is a sd build, everything is installed to your sd card. Internal memory would be the 1Gb data.img that gets created at first boot. More than enough to install your apps. What I'm trying to say, your physical phone memory is never touched with this build and the simulated phone memory in form of the data.img is 1Gb. So don't worry about space.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Are you backing up and restoring everything, or just your apps and data. If you are backing up and restoring system settings, along with your apps and data, you could be causing a conflict. Make sure you are only restoring apps & data.

Try to delete your data.img file, and start fresh. Without a restore, see if all is working fine, then go into titanium, and only select the apps&data you want to restore, skipping any system app. This may solve your issue, I think

Thanks uzi2 and shamez23 for your responses. I guess I didn't think it through when I asked the unrelated question.

[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
it's not a bad idea, just start a new thread in the general forum is all.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
It shouldn't take 30 minutes, I think 10 min max should be sufficient. It could be a corrupt file, I would try and redownload, and extraxt, recopy, and try once more. The creation of the data.img has been working for a long, long time without any issues, so if you are having one at this stage, it is either not enough space, which on a fresh formatted 16G is not an issue, or a bad file, that may be causing a problem.

If it doesn't work after another go (Remember copy the android folder, in its entirety to the root of your SD card) you may have to make startup log to see where it is bogging down.

I will add, I do this all in Linux (Ubantu) and never have copying issues, however, some people have said Win7 may not copy everything correctly. not sure about this as I don't use Win7 to do the copy, so I can't comment. If you have access to another PC without Win7, you may want to give the copy a shot on that pc, or extract the folder directly to an attached microSD card (using WinMo 6.5 a a card reader)

You also may want to scan the card for data errors, and fix those prior to first launch.

Sorry, im not a xda expert. By the way...can you help me out with the keypadlights? Do you know how to fix it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
It does not put the game in windows. Here's how it works.

You are running the build from SD. It actually creates a "phone storage" of 1gb but it is running from SD, as far as Android is concerned though it thinks it's phone storage (that's the data.img file) everything else on your SD card is "SD". So if you "move to phone" you are moving it from another folder on your Android folder to the inside of the data.img file in your Android folder (all on SD).

You don't actually have anything stored on NAND (internal storage) even though android thinks you do, everything happens from SD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
They are fixed.

They now act like they do in winmo. There was a build, one of the earlier ones, that had a bug, where the lights wouldn't turn off until the screen was off. There were loads of posts from people that asked for them to get fixed back to the way they act in winmo.

There is always someone that wants to have things differently, you can never satisfy everyone.

The keypadlights are not something that can be changed by some setting.

You would have to find out where in the Android code the keypadlights are controlled and change the code. Or even better, create an app that does it, so other people that want the keypadlights like you want them can benefit from your work.

Have fun in learning to code.

This is a personal thing, your personal preferences, not something that is of any concern to the devs of this build and therefore has no place in this thread.

Have you tried the docent14's method? It's mentioned in the FAQ I believe. I use that method every time I update and my battery life has been good to me. It could just be your battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
I have some SOD at times with the newest builds, basically if you just press the power button and wait, then do it again and again the phone will eventually respond.

My solution has been to use the interactive governor which helps on SetCPU, as far as data drops go it's hit or miss. You can put it on Airplane then take it off that usually handles it.
