corporate mail security problem

Sorry to confirm that I tried both 2.3.4 25/07 and 2.3.5 1/08 SD versions (clear full install) and the problem persists: corporate mail setup fails to setup Email as device administrator (without any error message), as a result no synch for contacts&calendar from my account (mail no such problem as can be also accessed via IMAP).

As it is, I can't switch to this otherwise great SD ROM (all other stuff seems to be working OK). As the same works without issue in another ROM, must be something specific here :mad:

And seems like nobody else here with such issue :(

If you think about any good ideas let me know, willing to try ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
There is a nice thread in HD2 WP7 forums showing the steps you need to partition your card to use WP7 in NAND and android from SD. That is what I did and partitioned my SD for use with both. Sorry I am using phone now not near my pc would give you a link. But search the thread its one of the most popular.... you really don't need to use 2 cards especially with a 32 GB card......
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
Thank you, will give that a try.

thats strange . I have been using American android since april and i am able to access my corporate email through it. the device after I configure my corporate email accont setup prompts me to allow security settings to be setup on the device (pin) and it just works. We use exchange as our corporate email solution.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rpstter:
I am running the 8/1 SD build and have no problems with allowing corporate exchange email as a device administrator. Make sure you have not disabled email as an admin.

Setting -> Location & Security -> Select Device Administrators and make sure Email is checked.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gpietron:
My setup prompts me to allow security settings which I confirm, and I'm even greated with success message (mail is on its way). However, when I look into Select Device Administrators it is empty, rest as described in my previous message (Email connection in error, corporate account not visible for selection in Contacts/Calendar & not syncing).

Must be some specific rules, sync should be going via Notifylink.

thanks for suggestions though, narrows the issue ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
thats the problem ... there is no startup.txt with a magldr / clk build.

so.... we have to get creative.... but... isnt that the whole point of linux? android etc? CReatiVITY!

side note: this lcd gps data size - change via startup.txt was supposed to only be for sd users anyways. Im pretty sure I didnt advertise it as for the nand builds also... but... now we've got the nand users wanting the same functionality. lol

i feel an idea creeping up on me

battery

my battery last about 4 hours with this build , is it just me or dose everyone else see the same thing
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
More than 24 here
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
Uh-oh copes got an idea...we might be in for some trouble. Hahaha jk. I'm sure it will be epic :)

@trav44: I'm getting around 12 hours of heavy use from nand, and with the sd builds I was getting around 9. Maybe a fresh install and format of your sd card. I'm assuming you are using the sd version. I haven't seen drains like that since the early builds.

Sent from my AmeriCan NANDroid HD2 r727 magldr
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
24 hrs!!! (Haha Lol)... is that with any actual use? Lol. Or do you have it charged-up then turn the screen off and wait to time the battery drain over those 24 hrs? - I'm just joking with you. ;) Haha - No I'm really serious... How do you get 24 hrs.?

I'd think 4hrs. of REAL use is pretty good... that is; running the OS off of an SD card. 4hrs! Sometimes w/ heavy use, I won't get half of that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bitwister:
I was getting higher than usual battery drain with the 08/01 SD preview release. I had to pull the battery after a crash. When I rebooted, it settled into single digit drains during idle. Try rebooting. If that doesn't work, consider pulling your battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
I wouldn't agree with you. If you can believe me, i'm using 29/7 and my battery lasts for a good 14-15 hours. Thats regular calls, WiFi on for about 50% time, lots of awake time, and full signal.

Also, IF YOU BELIEVE ME, i actually got a standby time of 28-30 HOURS, (not joking, seriously), on the same build, with WIFI off and limited calls. :D:D:D:D

I mean that was unbelievable for me too, but that's a fact.

EDIT: Just put my phone on charging while it reached 15% and my usage last shows 14 hours, 56 minutes. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
You mean to say (that from your experience), my statement that four hours of REAL use is pretty good, is something you wouldn't agree with.... OK, I'm good with that. And I do believe you. Why wouldn't I?

I find that I barely have 30% power remaining, after streaming a two hour Netflix movie. One hour of heavy, (graphic & CPU intensive) gameplay can burn through 50% of my battery.

But, I am looking into power-saving options. I have made a few significant changes to my setup, and I think I'm getting some battery performance increase - but I need more time to be sure.

Anyway... (honestly), I'm personally very pleased that you and a few other folks are getting better than good battery life!!! It gives me something to shoot for. So, thanks for the comment Sanju, I do appreciate it! :) -Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] TEKHD:
Few questions...

Can we install the new vending.apk (market) as usual? or does this rom since it is an sd rom... we have to stick with the old market?

Does this kernel support 2WCR?

This rom is on CM7 nigthly #148 or 149?

Can we install Titanium Backup? Does it work with this sd rom?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
lol. haha... no joke.

i easily get 12 hrs plus with regular use between charges.

with mild use (no wifi / bt) i easily get 24 hours +

regular oem battery. (1 yrs old now)

so despite your experience... mine is quite the opposite.

perhaps your missing something.. like setcpu or have left your wifi location service turned on... bt gps wifi on when not needed.. screen brightness high..

something. do you charge it over night while your sleeping? have you calibrated the battery. there are many things you can do.. and you've not posted that you've completed any of them in your efforts to lengthen time between charges.

a little info from you and we can help you a lot.

best of luck to you as you shoot for better results.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SuperXM1ke:
I'm using 0801 cLK and I'm only getting 13 hours now, the build previous was giving me around 20 hours, but 13 hours is great compared to what I used to get with SD builds.

Another note, I'm getting gps fixes in 1-2 mins. My bluetooth works, and also the new android market (some have called it the android "black" market) is working perfectly for me. I don't know how else to say this is the best android there is.

Come to think of it maybe I'm only getting 13 hours now because I'm always using my gps, bluetooth and checking out the new market.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
nothing changed on my side.

also.. all this stupid battery talk.. and ive gone off track. (TIRED OF BATTERY TALK).. what i originally popped in to say is

EUREKA!~

a solution to make life simple for those "awww" nand users who can't edit their

build.prop / gps.conf manually to change settings. ;)

im ajust test it first. brb
[HD2 Android SD Development] SuperXM1ke:
Sorry Cope, I realized it was pretty dumb to think something had changed like that in 1 build with no reason. Then I realized that I've been literally playing with my phone like the shiniest new toy these past few days... so I edited my post above when I realized the battery usage is probably because of me... using the battery... because I couldn't put my phone down for longer than 10 minutes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
don't be.. ....nothing wrong with anything you said pre or post edit...

:)

okay so check this out................... a LONG time ago now.. like 070511 (feels like a long time ago) I added to the nand builds a copy over process like the sd build has in it. keeping that in mind. (we are gonna use it now YAY!) Ultimately we are going to do the lcd / gps change @ first (or second) shutdown:

i have a present for those NAND users who want to easily change gps zone and lcd density without all the fussy editing.

in the attached zip are two files. 00gpszone and 00lcddensity. you can edit them on your pc

change LCD_DENSITY=240 or whatever

and in the gps file change ZONE=us or whatever

then copy the acaupdate folder to the / of your sdcard and boot(or)reboot (you can do this one while in android -- doesnt have to be before you boot) the change may not take effect until 1 or 2 boots after, but they will work.

When you update to a new build, just copy the acaupdate folder from your pc to the / of your sdcard. you will end up with

/sdcard/acaupdate

and it should be all ready to go by ur second boot up ;) ;)

NOTE: the attached .sh files are based directly off the code examples shosts gave me.. so once again thankyou shosts.

FYI: you can also just copy the two 00 files (files only .. not the folders) to /system/etc/shutdown.d/ and be done with the whole acaupdate thing.

:) announcing the nand copy over method. lol

similar to how we could copy stuff to /sdcard/android/root/STUFF

you can now (have always been able to) do that with the aca nand builds.

/sdcard/acaupdate/AndroidApps/*.apk here -> goes to /data/app (data partition)

/sdcard/acaupdate/media/ (structured media files) here ie: audio/ringtones/* audio/alarms/* audio/notifications/* and audio/ui/* -> goes to /system/media (system partition)

/sdcard/acaupdate/root/* here -> goes to androids OS root / (not the same as sdcard root or /sdcard/) (system partition)

I agree. I have actually done exactly to make sure that the battery drain is less.

SetCPU, WIFI only when needed, Data not using, BT not using. Screen brightness is only as much as needed. Battery callibration once every week.

That gives me a good battery life. And my battery will celebrate the 2nd birthday next month. :)

I'm very happy with the battery life, after the proximity sensor issue got sorted out, and probably WarCope made changes in the build.

Thanks

Hi,

I tried repairing the end key button myself yesterday, and now...

My end button doesn't work at all. :p

But on the brighter side... I dont get the problem of the screen not getting unresponsive at all now. Coz that used to happen when the end button was pressed. :D:D:D:D

Thanks anyways...
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
Thanks.. we already covered this a few posts up.

i beg your pardon? what are you talking about
[HD2 Android SD Development] cariocap:
sometimes your answers are rude and don't help the community
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay so we are on the same ground in many ways then.. device included.

what i would start with is

-getting rid of juice defender... it killed my battery when I used it.

-non oem batterys.... i can send you my non oem battery and you can see what sort of life you get from it ;) when I stopped using it.. i was down to 1 hour MAYBE from a full 12hrs + charge. and I .. like you.. was swapping between my oem and non oem battery once a day. i still have the original oem battery i got with my first hd2 ~ 2 years old now.. and it still lasts me a good 8 hours plus.. (over a week on my 2nd device with no sim card in it) ;) so... there is somethign to be said about the non oem batterys and how BAD they are.

i did recommend a new data.img (tho how much difference its going to have on battery life?!? i highly little if any at all)

the radio.... what radio are you using.. (didnt check your sig.. i will look after posting this) im on 2.15.. some users report different radios give different results. something to think about.

thats where I'm at with it.. if I had anything more to assist you it would be right here.

other then that.. the usual remains.. this is a way more advanced os then was designed to run on the hd2... the hd2 was first gen smartphone and tadah.. has shAt life time anyways... the hd2 isnt as efficient as newer phones with how it handles its power.. but .. we live with it. warren has pimped the kernel beyond that i could have ever asked for... the two of us have spent more nights then ANY OF YOU can imagine "fixing the battery drain".. the code (at least on my part) hasn't changed, but cyanogen is almost an hourly experience with them.. there's not much more we can do.. so (not directed to anyone specificially.. ;) yes.. the battery talk is starting to droan on and become lol as I originally put it ... stupid.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
you input is not needed here cariocap.... if the community has an issue with me.. the community will tell me about it. i don't recall the community electing you as it's spokes person. if you have an issue you can pm me about it or better yet.. you should pm a forum mod and tell them your feelings.

this thread.. is not a forum for your personal feelings toward me or anyone for that matter.. and i've seen this comming a mile away with you... you are not the image of perfection that you think you are.

for the record... ill initiate the forum mod action for you. hows that sound? save you the trouble.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
You must be kidding right???

I have not seen people like cope or warren, so patient with all the **** that people in this forum keep throwing. Yes there are appreciations too, but there are complaints too.

For every small issue, there are pages 'wasted'. When people have an issue because their kernal has changed or they have overclocked or underclocked or done anything different, they will post it here and the final blame game's on the build. How would u like 25 people telling you that your build, for which you work day and night, free of cost, is not working correctly, not working correctly and not working correctly, again again and again.

Its irritating for me to read, how would a person feel when he gets it on himself.

Lets not forget that cope or warren are nobody's employees to not to be rude when someone or something irritates them.

Thank you Cope! Juicedefender, I've read good & bad about. Thought I'd try it for myself but its only been a few days. On your word... I will delete it. No need to send me your non-oem battery, (Lol). I've two of my own - and they were cheap enough... I'll purchase a new oem battery. That, I'm sure will help. And it's not lost on me... a device with this much memory and a GHz CPU, and a huge bright screen, running off of a 1230 mAh battery? What was HTC thinking? (let's keep it a slim device, methinks).

Thanks for the good suggestions!!!

Any Market Apps that YOU can't get with your ACA HD2?

This might be old news for some, but it's new news for me and so I tried it... and I'll be xxxx'ed - it works; Great for me (at least) and maybe for you too!

I go to the android market on my SD ACA HD2, and search for something and most things I can get and download. SOME apps (I know are there) won't be presented to me, as my device is still seen as an HD2. I had to get the Netflix .apk at XDA. The market won't offer it to me. Same story with a few other apps I've tried to get.

Similarly on my desktop PC... with some apps I search for and locate; I'm told I don't have a compatible device (or something like that), and so, they will not be downloaded and installed to my device.

Here's the answer I've found... and maybe YOU know of it already but I didn't. Kudos to these guys who posted this... as I did follow the simple instructions... edited my build.prop and... damn... It works!!!!

Now I've downloaded Netflix directly from the market and a few other apps that were refused to me before. Here's the links...

My thanks and gratitude to both of them. The Android market denies me nothing now, be it from my PC desktop or the HD2 ACA.

mms problems

Hi all!

I tried to search but couldnt find any info. My problem is that i cant either send or recieve mms. It works fine in winmode but not in this androidbuild. Everything else seems to work and i really like american android.

Hope that this build goes nand for all.

[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
All I'm saying is windows and any other build of android, stock or otherwise, is put to shame by ACA. I haven't seen a phone yet that can keep up with this beast...and as cope said the hardware is outdated and not even meant to run android. I think that really says something about what the devs have done here.

I can honestly say that battery life, app load times, downloads and anything else really is considerably faster and more stable than winmo.

So, thanks again cope and warren you guys are crazy good at what you do.

I don't think any nand users have asked for this. There is no need anyway, when it is so simple to edit the build.prop and use your own gps.conf.

What are the 2 partitions? I'll assume Fat32 and swap

Format the new card with nearly all Fat32 and small swap partition.

Using a card reader is normally much quicker.

Copy everything on original SD card to PC

Copy it all back to new SD card
