general1977, there was NO battery drain on builds from the late April, and BT was working as well. Any way, use SetCPU with profiles - no Android build is usable without SetCPU, be it 2.2, 2.3 or whatever.

"Screen Off - 245\600 Powersafe", and the battery lasts for a day & a half. With BT, WiFi & music player on.

Why not set Power Control Widget to automatically turn Bluetooth On when on external power?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Have you copied the files from the MAGLDR folder?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Drakosha:
PLEASE, do that! Your builds are not just the best, they are on the next LEVEL compared to others - but non-working BT ruins everything :(

At least, can you provide the "fixed" kernel as a separate download? Like you do with "Sdmagldr" folder?

Thank you for everything,

with GREAT respect - Draco.

[HD2 Android SD Development] gargon01:
Everything is looking good so far with this build, although the last build (i think it was 1205??) was working excellent and was probably the best ever for me in terms of battery life especially. The only problem I'm having so far is the extended boot times. I always change my boot animation anyway but even with the original animation it's almost 4-5 minutes every boot for me...is anyone else getting this? Let me know guys.

A lot of appreciation to Cope, Warren and everyone else involved in this rom. It's seems like it's almost running on par with a native WM rom. Great job!

Thanks

Do you use sd-ext or swap partitions ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
If you have access to the ACA DropBox.....I've posted up a test kernel. Please have at it if you want, and let me know how bluetooth behaves. there was something i just simply was uncomfortable with when I looked at the bt drain "fix." I've reverted a small piece of it back to see if our results are better.

Cope will test when he gets home, but I figure if anyone with issues or without wants to try and and give me feedback, AWESOME.

What is magldr? Booting straight to android skipping winmo? Any tutorial on how?

Also which is a complete non buggy version or an ETA for it? Don't wanna keep updating like last time. Stopped using since march build coz there is no garmin and the photo album lagged the entire phone. Only had 300pics in dcim folder from winmo.. Also built in opera felt better than androids browser at that time..

Advices are much appreciated. Running energy rom from sometime late last year, problem free.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gargon01:
I have no idea lol!! I used this tutorial months ago when WP7 was first released:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944288

and dual boot via MAGLDR . Everything has, and still is, been working great but it's just these long boots with the latest build. Any help would be appreciated but it's not a deal breaker as I won't be restarting Android too much anyway if I can help it, but if there's a way to get the boot times down, it would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance

[HD2 Android SD Development] general1977:
I tried SetCPU and it never did any good for me. It never increased my battery life. I have always had a standby drain of 7mA with bluetooth on, which gives me roundabout 2 days of phone usage without charging. So far I have used Dandiest DesireHD, ACA and BOYPPC (don't know about BT working or not yet). With well-designed kernels I don't think SetCPU is of any use anymore.

Because I neither carry external power in my jacket, nor in my businesscase. ;) Bluetooth needs to be on all the time.

So most Android versions are vulnerable to a snooping attack.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20063646-245.html

The vulnerability affects all versions except for 2.3.4 and 3.0. Another good reason to get the latest and greatest here. Thanks to Cope and Warren for helping to keep us safe :-)

+1, also with the new build17/05. Pairing with the car needs about 10 min and several atempts and will disconnects imediately after that. If it reconnects (after several atempts) it will disconnect again after 5 min.

PS: AmericanAndroid is a very good build (BT is really the only issue). Thanks to Cope and Warren!

Contact Oddity

Interesting...I check this build out every couple weeks. Unfortunately, I always find a reason not to use it (usually related to the lack of Sense). This build has a particularly odd flaw (at least on my phone). While all my contacts, 1200+, installed, none of the photos did. :confused: Any thoughts, anyone?

-Bob-
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
how did you backup?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rebecker:
Didn't. Totally clean install on a freshly formatted card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
:confused: how did you want your photos to copy across if you didnt backup?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rebecker:
Pardon me? When you first set up a new card all of the Google data, calendar, tasks, notes, contacts are installed (at least up till now ;)). I've probably installed 15 different SD builds over the last 5 months, never had a problem with contact pics not transferring to the new install.

[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Sometimes there is a lag on the sync. Time should allow them to show up.

Did the rest of the google items sync?

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
sorry i thought you meant like just normal photos, like gallery images, not ones you had linked to contacts.

my bad, but you didn't really state that, just said "but photos didn't"
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I just has the weirdest thing happen. This may relate to the guy commenting on the rapid charge. It seemed to be taking forever to charge and then it went from showing 26 to 100 instantly. I just reran battery calibration again, so we'll see what happens.

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] rebecker:
Had to go back to my day-to-day build (working :o). Calendar items were there. Didn't check tasks. Will play around with it a bit more tomorrow and see what happens. I've never had a lag time greater than maybe 30 minutes, so I just figured there was something wrong. Will update tomorrow.

Titanium Restore is a 2 hour process for me.:(

Hey guys,

The only truly tiresome problem for me is when i restore my apps using Titanium Backup/restore, it asks individual confirmation for each app, i mean i have around 350+ apps which are backed up and everytime i upgrade the new build, i spend another 2 hours clicking 'Yes', and then 'Done' for every application installed.

Currently I use the batch option/Backup all user apps+ System Data for backup and

then Restore app apps and Data.

Is this normal or am i missing some setting? Please advise.

Thanks,

Sanjay B.
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
I've never encountered that problem using Titanium. I always just restore user apps and their data though using the batch process. Did it earlier today with the new build and it worked fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
You need to purchase the Root Key to avoid the individual confirmations.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Not sure why does it ask me for every individual app. Its a real pain doing a 'Yes' for a confirmation and then a 'Done' for the completion, and then again a 'Yes', 350+ Times !!!

Does this have to do anything with the free/pro version???

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Got it. Thanks man !

sound disruption?

Hi, still new to this. I had an early april build, and installed 05172011 build.

First, many thanks for all the work done. I used my old data image. After a few boots it is generaly very nice, and the battery is much better than it was:).

On the new build I am getting some disruption to sound in playing both music and video. Every so often the sound is disrupted with a typical sort of interferience noise. Maybe about every 30 seconds. It happens in various players.

Any ideas?

[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
I hope whatever you have done will bring full BT functionality. I am absolutely prepared to use the kernel without the power fix only to get full bt functionality. Any hope of those of us without Dropbox access testing this? After all I recall Changelogs indicating that in the latest build one can change the kernel without the other files which are now cooked into the rom. This BT thing is like a problem child.... :eek:

Feedback please !

My class 6 sd card is getting slow read speeds i.e. 4.5mb/s and on my wife's card is getting 7.8mb/s ( also class 6, Transcend, where mine is TeamGroup)

I was doing some research and found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921530&highlight=[fix]+sd+card+speed&page=34

My question is this: Is this build already optimised for sdcard read speeds. Or can I use this script with this build ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] endallas:
From first post:

""-if you want to adjust the sdcard speed fix values, this can be done by editing

/system/etc/init.d/05mountsd the section in there is CLEARLY labelled and easy to change""

You can try values ut to 4096 or something

newb question

hey guys - sorry if i ask any dumb questions or if they have already been answered in any of the 800 pages before this one.

so i was on the 0512 build - it was great! everything (that i used) ran smoothly, no FCs, really enjoyed it. then all of a sudden my phone restarted, and when i tried to boot back into Android, i would just get a black screen - it was on, it just wasn't going anywhere. i tried this a few times, before i gave up and decided to update to the 0517 build.

i labeled my current "android" folder with another name and copied the new "android" folder over to my sd card. i was able to boot into android, but now everything was running REALLY slow, and i was getting a lot of FC messages. i'm assuming this is because i need to do a clean install?

so my questions are:

1. can i do an update to a new build and still keep all my settings, updated apps, contacts links, icons, widgets, progress in games, etc etc. in place? (because replacing the "android" folder with the new build's "android" folder did not work: along with the slowness and FC messages, none of my existing setup was kept.)

2. if i have to do a 'clean' install, does that mean i have to re-format my sd card and re-partition it each time?

thanks AmeriCan Android and gang - i really had no idea what i was missing out on until my three days of bliss with android! momentarily being back on WinMo is kinda like going back to black and white TV...

Not all SD cards are built to the same standards. It's generally better to go for a good name over high class rating. Sandisk class 2 gets very good reports from users here and I am very happy with my Sandisk class 4.

I am using the built in setting of 2048.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Sounds like your SD card has problems. It could be something that can be fixed by formatting your sd card or can be bad sd in the worst case. I had same problem with my Sd where Android crashed from time to time until I confirmed that my Sd card had failed..... Changed the Sd card and my problems ended.

You can try format your sd card install latest build with your old data.img. Of course that means you need to save contents of your sd card in the pc before formatting the card. You also should have Titanium Backup which app is built in the latest roms. With the backup in case your data.img has problems you can always restore your apps and data. Always remember to back up and save a copy of the backup elsewhere. Infact what I normally do is to save both the backup and the data.img in the Pc just in case soemthing goes terribly wrong.... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You can save yourself any embarrassment by reading the FAQ, searching the thread and at least reading from the date of your build.

Are you using a partitioned SD card with sd-ext?

Have you checked the FAT partition for errors (Windows diskcheck)?

It's possible that your SD card is corrupt.

If you are using sd-ext, you could be restoring errors from earlier.

This suggests you do not have sd-ext. Do you have a backup?

Use Titanium or Mybackup.

In view of the problems you have had I would recommend a reformat and reinstall on this occasion, but it is not normally necessary. I really can't remember when I last did this as I have used my old data.img for numerous updates.

Always have a backup an you probably won't need it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pookle798:
sorry - i didn't put complete info in my post. i am using a PNY 8 GB Class 10 card, with three partitions (~5.66 GB on the main partition, ~2 GB for sd-ext, and the rest for Linuxswap), all are Primary. i have not checked the FAT partition, but will do so. beyond setting up the partitions, do i need to do anything further, or does Android automatically use the sd-ext and linuxswap partitions if they are present?

i will definitely set up Titanium (or mybackup) as soon as i get android working again.

what do i need to do with sd-ext? to be honest, other than setting up the partition, i don't really understand what this is for...

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think this is what i gather that i should do:

- re-format and re-partition my card

- put the new 0517 "android" folder in there

- replace the data.img file in this folder with the data.img file from my 0512 build android folder that was working on my phone

from what i understand from the above posts, this should update my build while keeping all my settings intact.

also, is there any maintenance type of things i should be doing on my sd card? for example, there is a "LOST.DIR" folder in there that becomes populated with random numbered files. should i clean this out periodically?

thanks guys!

pj
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Since you are new to this forget about partitions for now. Just format your card and put the Android folder in the Sd card. Copy your data.img file from 12th build and place it inside the Android folder and you are good to go. Simple.

Try it first then come back with more questions, if any. Trust me you wont have much to ask after that..... ;)

Tried it now, and restoring data connexion sucessfully. Having Radio 2.15 also. Data image from beginning of Mars...

Same problem with my BT : it's now disconnecting faster than previous build, i think. When on call via BT, BT link is disconnected after about 1 minute, and call ended directly !

But still staying on this build, as it's very stable for me (only waiting BT fix to be able to can rely on it at 200%)

Very good job, you're working hard, it can be seen clearly !

TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP WITH BLUETOOTH ISSUES

Please try out this download.

Download, and extract zimage and root folder straight into your android directory. Please be in WinMo when you do this.

No guarantees bud. Cope passed out and the only BT device I have is my carPC, not about to run out there @ 1:52am. lol.

I can confirm it at least starts up. I've changed the original fix to utilize the high speed serial driver cotulla provided ages ago, instead of using the stock high speed serial driver. If it doesn't make much of a difference, I'll cut back to a hybrid I had Cope test earlier with MUCH success.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
We perfectly understand that this is still a test kernel. But I too have the gut feeling that this is the real deal.... Thank you for the info.

Please take a rest now and leave us to do the tests. By the time you wake up you will find our results splattered all over this thread.

By the way I see the download file also has the modules. Do we need to do anything with the modules or we just replace the kernel and thats it?

Edit>>>> Oh yeah I see the other folder too goes to the root. Sorry

Battery drain spikes

cant wait to try the new kernel, DL just now.

Regarding the drain spikes, I have run battery calibration and it appears to be a data.img issue, especially since I do not see many people post issues other than ACA lady Kris ;) and someone else if I remember correctly.

Also, I now had time to check my current widget log (see attached). I deleted all the processes running when drain was good (7-14) and only AppBrain (which I will uninstall, wanted to do that anyway) and Twitter remained. I also took an overnight timespan in order to rule out that I had caused any drain because of interaction.

BUT, drains occured throughout the night with no particular app causing the drain as various processes were running which also ran when the drain is low. Therefore my conclusion that it must be someting with the data.img.

Hope this helps anyone. I will now back up my apps with TB and let it create a new image. Had mine for more than a month now so its time for a new one anyway.

EDIT: Just in case anyone stumbles upon this post, the data.img was NOT the issue, I have now uninstalled k-9 and it looks much better. See my later posts for more info...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
I did the BT test. But BT is not working at all. Cant connect to any device and others cant see me.

And there is a problem with the light sensor software (i think its CM7 that had a problem). It does read values lower then 400. But the software wont do anything with values below 400. Normally i have a setting of 20% screen at 0-100 value but thats not working anymore. It starts responding above 400. So i lack precision now.

Hi,

Updated my 0517 build with latest gift :

- enabling BT on phone 20 seconds before opening car;

- openning car and BT headset : synchro ok :) (don't have to re-pair it, already paired with stock 0517 rom)

- not touching anything : still connected after more than 2 minuts :)

- trying to make a call from the BT headset : ok : :)

- 2 minutes in-call : no deconnection :eek: =>:)

- disconnecting car or BT or both or trying with another tel : always able to reconnect automatically to Android :eek:=>:)

- trying to be called with another phone while BT connected : phone number shown on BT, and accepting phone call on Bt : ok : :)

- No deconnection while this call :)

So far from me, it's really good working :cool:

going back to my laptop BT-onboard enabled, never paired :

- enabling BT on phone with discoverable;

- asking pairing from Win 7 sp1 : successful !

- disabling discoverable mode on PHone;

- sending a picture from PC to Android : accepted after question, and reception successful !

I didn't checked power consumtion, but it's really really better with my LEO radio version and my BT device !
