Android was running fine, Then SOD started happening..(FIX)

This has happened to me, however Format FAT32 is a fix, but I chose to just scandisk the card. Found a couple errors, and I deleted the temp files and fired up Haret. All is good again.
Long story short some errors on the card happen and a quick scandisk/chkdsk should fix them and Android should be happy again.
You can perform this on your computer or with any storage card tools in Windows Mobile prior to launching Haret.
Hope this helps some people...

Just an idea, can we add a chkdsk command in android boot loader?
I have same issue before.

SODs are caused by sd card errors?
i didnt realize that.. is it really only errors on sd cards that are the cause of SODs? or are there other underlying factors affecting SODs such as mayb speed class of SD cards?
im using the class 2 8gb which came with my hd2 and my phone gets SODs despite having the same setup as many people who are using the same android build as others who do not have SODs and have used android back-to-back for days without falling back to Winmo..

I'm no expert or anything but I use the 16 gig SD card that came with my HD2 and I've formatted it, I've tried every trick I know with the sd card ad I still get SODs, I'm going to keep looking for a fix here. I'll post back if I find one. Let me know if any of you do.
thankx,
Kn0t

the android boot loader should already check all the mounts before mounting them.
i would say try a different winmo rom..
im using the miri cht one with 2.12 radio.

I think every time we boot android the card is automatically checked for errors! I have seen it in the test that scrolls while android is booting!

The problem is actually in the format of the SDCard (fat32) and the way files are organize when we transfer/save/backup files onto it. A scandisk plus a defragment will make a difference. I always do it when I transfer music files, take pics, make backups o just installed a new build. even the fsck finds non-contiguous files every time you boot android (pay close attention be4 the sound is loaded)
and you are right, the sdcard is checked for errors but not fixed. what the bootloader get "automatically fixed" is not the sdcard, but some files which might not be configured/located where they should. I recommend a scandisk and a defragment everytime you load a new build/change many files. u will notice the difference.

So which chdsk/defrag program do you recommend ?

Every Windows pc comes with its scandisk and defrag utility.

according to some peeps at computer forums
you should NOT defrag a thumb drive or sd card, because its a different tpe of memory than hard drive and may cause some sideffects.
cna someone confirm that?

I formatted my SD card. Upgraded my radio. I took everything off of MT SD card that was windows mobile. I just left music movies and android and I've been running android 19 + hours with zero problems nor sods.

it doesn't make any sense, this two thing isn't related at all. hard drive type and defrag. data just fragments, no matter hdd type, format. so you need to defrag it.

Thank you for this tip. I had installed Modern Combat: Sandstorm and put a good amount of music on my phone, and after that I was getting SOD's fairly frequently.. I'm attempting this trick now to see if it has any positive effect.

I don't know if this will help anyone but it works great for me. In addition to repairing errors when I formatted my 16 gig class 2 that came with the phone I set cluster size to 64 and its always ran fast since with no sod. I don't see that much of a storage loss. Barely using 5 out of 16 gigs on the card with almost 3 gigs of music loaded.

I also don't know if this will help anyone but I used to get the SOD to happen ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I would get lucky for a couple hours but then they would happen sometimes every TWO minutes. I have 3 different SD cards. One stock 16gb, one class 4 8gb. and a spare 16gb. I tried everything I found here from switching to a faster card. reformatting. Using a higher cluster size. Nothing worked. Then I tried switching radio's from 2.08 to 2.12. PROBLEM 100% fixed. I havent had a SOD in over two weeks. Ive read that the radio is NOT a fix for this problem but for some reason it fixed it for me.

HELP ! I have read dozens of posts on here about Wifi...
I have got the same problem.... My Ace I just flashed 2.3.3 Villain with Odin and when I try and connect to my Netgear router (HTC Wildfire S and San Fran) are fine...
All I get id obtaining IP address etc, then phone disconnects....
Screen times out after 1 min then SOD ! (Switches off)
Hold power for 10 secs phone is back on, still no wifi...
HELP !

MY SOLUTION FOR SOD...
Hey all... I am new to this forum. I own a Galaxy Note GT N7000. I am using stock JB rom. I have been having SOD's since 3 months. Even wen i was on ICS. I have tried many custom roms, changed kernels, got my phone bricked n got a motherboard replacement under warranty. Guess what... SOD persisted. I was goin mad. I tried usin phone without external SD, overclocked my device to 500 Mhz.
And hell... SOD persisted. Have been through almost all forums regarding SODs.
What helped was... changing WIFI settings.
Go to... Settings... WiFi... Go to options menu.... click ADVANCED...
CHANGE... "KEEP WI-FI ON DURING SLEEP" option to "NEVER"
Bingo....
No SOD... since last 4 days.
Hope it helps. I know some ppl are havin SOD even without using WIFI.
But for those who r using WiFi, its worth giving a try.

Temp fix for sod

I traded my g1 for an hd2. Gave it to my wife and she loves it. Only problem is the SOD. Until a solid kernel fix is made she figured this out and no SOD so far. She uses Aldiko a lot and you can adjust the contrast with a swipe down the left side of the screen. She turns it all the way down and its completely black. Swipe up the left side and screen is back on. Cheap fix I know but works for now till the real bug could be ironed out.

the only time i had an sod is when i tried 2.11 radio..
what radio you using?

I am using the tmobile radio 2.10.50. Or something like that.

if its related to radio, I have 2.08 and never had one sod

What rom are you using? Also which winmo rom? I know its not a radio problem.

So, could it be, that radio 2.11 and higher kill the screen?
Do you recommend to use only radio 2.08?
I am from germany and a week ago my touchscreen was defect and had to be changed for a new one. Could this happen because of the wrong radio?

SODs have nothing to do with the radio. it has to do with the SD card. i can confirm this by taking my sd card and putting it in 2 different hd2s with 2 different radios and i had no SOD what so ever but when i would use a different sdcard i would get SODs on both

I've heard that higher class SD cards have better results. But sods are typically causes by the g sensor bottle necking when the phone goes to sleep. Aldiko prevents phone sleep but you can shut the screen off by turning the contrast down all the way with it. Swipe down off. Swipe up on. Like I said cheap fix but works for the time being.

I use a class 2 sd card that came with the phone. the only form of SOD i experience is the screen powering on but it remaining black which is only temp, as a few turns on attempts anbd its fine. which i realy wouldnt consider screen of death since it never sticks like that permantly to requiire a reboot.

That's lucky for you its a common bug at the moment. I have to baby my wife's hd2. I'm a bit jealous. Lol

thats not true. i use the stock 16gb class 2 sd that came with the phone (TMOUS) HD2 and i have no SODs at all. I experienced SODs with a PNY 8gb Class 4 so higher class doesnt mean less SODs. it has to do with how the sd is formatted and if the sd has errors on it.

That's what I'm using the 16 gig that it came with. I'm just saying what I've read. Now that you said that I know I can save money and not have to but a expensive SD card lol.

Viewing the answers it seems to me that nobody really knows what is causing the SODs... someone said that could be the SD CARD, others that is on the ROM side, others Radio, others GSENSORS... in my opinion have to do with the early stage of Android development in HD2, maybe Cotulla will be able to release a new Kernel which fix the SODs and Freezes problems...

Use chuckydroidrom with radio 2.12.50
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

The Radio is the problem
ok Ive done this for 3 phones and I can tell u that SOD has only to do with the Radio. The only thing ive seen that the rom affects its the robot voice.
get this Radio Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9GU2FF3X
And Im a 100 percent sure is gonna work and if u want get the chunkydroid just in case.
Also the 3 phones which ive put Android had been from tmobile USA.

Using chuckydroidrom, supherhd2 1.2, class 4 sd card -- I don't get SOD other than sometimes waking from sleep. Either it's the blank screen which just takes a few tries, or it shows up but is unresponsive, then the wifi reads "error."
Unfortunately that happens a few times a day.
[edit]
Also using radio 2.12.50.02

Great Success!!!
Guys,
I have had great success running Miri's rom / 2.11 radio / turned windows mobile sense off / running Nexus One build FRG33 9-8-10
I have had now screen of death, no audio issues, no bluetooth issues, camera & camcording work in 5mp, wifi working, wifi portable hotspot is working (I desperately need this because of my job), no freezing, all apps working, my NES/SNES emulator works like a charm, no freezing issues, Quandrant speeds range from 1550-1650 (low speeds when snes emulator running in background).
My only issue is that, when in sleep mode, the orange light stays on constantly, but even with this, I have had battery life of 36+ hours. This setup is ready for daily use.
If anyone can help me get that orange light out, I would be much obliged.

you would think after all the great development going on here, this issue (the biggest issue it seems) would have been the first to be sorted out. I for one am pulling my hair out over it. i get it constantly on all the builds I try except for darkstones which kills my battery in 2 hours. running stock rom, 2.08 radio, stock 16 gig sd card

i have tried radio 2.10.50.26 and 2.12.50.02.2
all have SOD. all rebooted when i tried to log in at the market place
i have tried nearly all the roms
it seems like only mattc is the most stable..
but he hasn't have any updates for the last 10 days.
thanks
jack

Cant agree with you on that. I have also tried different roms, and stayed on Darkstone 2.1 from 18.8.10. I use 2.12.50.02.2, Elegancia v10, Class 2 16gb card which is almost full and I have only 2 issues:
1. SOD after you try to wake the phone up and immediately put it to sleep (Power button, and a second after again). It takes about 20 seconds until it starts working again. My suspicion, gsensor/sdcard, nothing to do with radio.
2. Bluetooth, A2DP controls do not work on my Bluetooth headset.
So, for me, this is the most stable.
BTW, I can run a battery for around 24 hours with gmail push, exchange push (through Touchdown, not native Android program) and average usage of calls, SMS, Wifi, Youtube and Market..

Singapore StarHub users > what is working.

Hi, I know there aren't many from Singapore here but I'd like to share what is working for me as some are having really bad data down (300 kbps). As SG is a small place, our HD2 should all be similar (unless you got it from overseas).
ROM: Chuckydroid Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734238&highlight=chuckydroid
Radio:
2.11.50.26 is most reliable for me. Constant H signal, full bars steady.
2.10 radio works as well but tends to switch to G -3G- H a lot. That alone drains a lot of power I believe.
Android: Shubcraft 1.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740963
Kernel:
I'm using the file: Build_n.7z
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756513
What's not working or not working well:
- Wifi not working.
- wifi/USB Tethering not working.
To solve this, I USB tether using EasyTether which you can get from Market.
- Screen freeze.
Settings > Display > Turn off Auto-rotate screen.
I can't get G sensor to work on any build without freezing my screen.
- MMS might or might not work.
Truth be told, I'm not bothered by it.
- Blue tooth: I don't use so never tested.
What's working?
Pretty much everything else.
My biggest concern really is data speed and reliability. With the builds i listed above, I get very consistent data down. Up isn't so great but I download more than I upload so it works for my needs. You might get disconnected 2-3 times per work day but I consider that reliable enough as my daily work phone.

Battery uptime:

Try it out and hope it works for you.

Hi,
I'm also from singapore and i'm using stock rom (1.66.707.1), radio 2.12.50.02_2.
My android build is darkstone froyostone v2, changed my rootfs to the ppp one from mattc.
So far i got 1 restart, no SOD, data works, wifi works, g sensor hasn't had major issues.. Only thing is that it takes a while (1-2sec) to wake from sleep...
Data speed i can get more than 1mbps download and 200kbps upload, so far it hasn't really disconnected by itself.. On singtel btw.

cool . im also a starhub user. shall bookmark this page to discuss issues liao . im using 2.12 radio . haven tried 2.11 before . hows 2.11 compared to 2.12 ? as for me , i previosly had alot of problem with hsdpa as well. kept dc . unntil in windows i change network to gsm 1800 900 from auto . in Android, i use wcdma only . haha . think my settings is kinda of weird . i shall try urs and see how

hi,
i am in singapore but i dont use 3G/HSDPA. I am just using wifi and works well. now in shubcraft 1.5, radios 2.10.50 and have a few issue
- low volume ( though i have set to max )
- where is the FM radio ?
- compass is pointing to the wrong direction :-(
- laggy and battery goes flat very fast
i have changed my winmo to chuckyROM.
regards

Ok, I'm a fellow Singaporean as well, totally reflashing and flashing my phone until I have no idea whats really inside..
I have the Latest Artemis installed, and 3 flavours of android installed, yeah bad idea, but I'm testing out which is better..
So far Darkstone works the best, with Wifi, bluetooth and everything else, hey what happened to the FM Radio? lol..
Battery life is "Jia Lat". Watch the meter drop like a Porche stuch in Orchard Road, one vroom 50Cents.. lol..
I'm thinking of organizing a gathering for ourselves, just sit down have a drink and discuss a little on our findings.. who's keen?

wow many singaporeans here. I am using Mattc Leo's Froyo w/sense.
Works great. Everything is working for me except for occasional touchscreen freezes which occurs very seldom. It will just go away after locking and unlocking my screen.
Wifi is working for me. My G sensor is on too.

I'm a fellow Singaporean, using STOCK HyperDroidV1.2 with 2.12 radio.
Wifi is working well, volume is ok.
No major issues other than the slow wake up from sleep
3G/HSDPA is inconsistent, sometimes it work, sometime it doesn't.
The only major gripe about my android experience so far is the battery life. With normal usage, smses every now and then, my phone can hardly last a day.

Hi, from Singapore too. I gave up on android on my HD2 cuz' I can't even boot up with chuckyrom.
Ran haret and booted to the lockscreen only to have the phone reset.
I have since gotten a galaxy S for free, so getting my droidfix there.
Is there a singapore HD2 radio thread anyone can point me to?

YEAH! Stand up for singapore, do the best we can!!!

Hi, i am a singaporean too.
Currently using HyperDroid 1.5, best ROM atm since shu8i didnt update shubcraft anymore.
After testing out so many builds by developers, ppp and RMNET doesnt make much of a difference for us. I am getting 200-300 kb/sec download and 10-30 kb/sec upload on average.
What i am concerned is the battery, suck so badly. Screen so big, phone so big, use only a 1230 mAh battery, facepalmed.

aye, sporean here too...on singtel tho haha. tried shubcraft 1.5 before but found it to be a bit more buggy, having probs installing apps onto phone
but gotta admit does look nicer. sticking with bangsters 1.3 for now with chuckydroid. on radio 2.11.50.20. apps have no more problem installing.
battery drain on standby is quite jialat, wake up almost 8-10% gone. but i find that using it on the move occassionally for twitter, fb, surfing, searching and stuff consumes much less than winmo compared. was with dutty's and elegancia's gtx previously.
don't ever think i'm going back to winmo for now until wp7 gets ported. haha.

Aye aye so many singaporean lah.wow did not know leh.
i now testing mdeejay_froyo_sense_v2.1a_ppp version.Previously using FroyoStone.
Somehow i find android very lag compared to WM6. I tried others also very lag. rest no problem

Tried darkstones' but I think its bugged and laggy, tried HyperDroid and feels that its the most stable and fastest rom out there.

Wow so many singaporen here...suprisely. Using chuckyrom and shubcraft 1.5 with starhub. All working well and only problem face is i cannot surf in facebook and gmail using starhub line. If with home wifi then working fine. M'sia but in and out sg everyday.

Hey i had the same issue with my Bangster when I was on Chuckydroid.. sometimes my audio just disappears. Now, I switched to Ozroid (since I am not using WM any more), Audio is perfect, does not drop off anymore and app installation all works except Flight Director the game for some strange reason, all others work! lol..
When my screen freezes, I press the Window button, and it resumes.
When it sleeps, quite rare it can't come back. If it does decide not to come back, I press the Window button , back arrow and power it comes back.

I am getting about 2% drain on standby mode

Hi bjkoh, how's ya sg members recuiting? count me in too

[Q]Slow wake up

So, when i lock my phone, and when i try to wake up to unlock, it is really really slow sometimes (up to 10-15 seconds even)..
Is there any way to prevent this ( to decrease that wake up time ) ?
p.s. My phone wm and android roms, radio and kernel is shown in my signature
Cheers ppl and thanks in advance,
Laynee

The 'smartass' scaling defaults to 245mhz when the screens off.... Disable the smartass, then bump the frequency up when the screens off !

Ok, first of all thanks for swift and fast response..
Second, from your reply, it seems like i have to install setCpu, and do that in it? What freq to put when screen is off? Because last time i got those profiles set up in setCpu ( before i uninstalled it), they didnt work..
And last, will it affect my battery drainage alot ?
p.s. One more question ( i know im annoying ) : I got really slow download speed when downloading from Market.. any cure ?

Huh, nor smartass nor underclocking in standby is respondible for slow wake up (well, maybe for a split second but definitely not the 10-15 seconds OP is talking about).
I haven't found any solution for this yet, but actually once you learn to only lock your phone when you know you won't be needing it the next 30 seconds, your problems are gone. (Unless you're using an old build/kernel, in that case you should just upgrade. New builds only lockup if you unlock shortly after locking.)
Slow market downloads is due to your sd card apparently. Either try with another one, or unmount SD card before starting the download.

i always find using the 'pick up' key wakes the phone in less then 3 secs everytime for me

I'm my experience wake lag is caused by corruption of the SD card. It happens more often when I try to use higher class cards than the stock one. What always fixes it for me is running checkdisk in windows. It usually finds errors and after it fixes them and I reboot I get no wake lag for a while. Errors happen a lot less often for me when I stick to stock sandisk class 2 card. Hope this works for you.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I found this recently on Desire HD, it takes 3-5 seconds to wake up (not using setcpu)
I am using cedesmith desire hd2 (beta) rom with 2.14.50_2 radio and energy (13-nov) winmo.
Most desire builds are ok (less than 1 sec )
Hope to fix this ASAP

The most you can do is try another microSD card, but the reality is that this is device-dependent. You've just been unlucky to get an HD2 that is slow to wake up.
I know this because I had an HD2 before which took around 5-10 seconds to wake up all the time. After I broke it, my insurance company replaced it.
My new HD2 wakes up instantly almost always.

Well i forgot to mention one thing :
The slow wake up problem is not happening every time i try to unlock phone(its not that much often but when it happends im pissed off).
When it happends, buttons and screen are up, but screen is blank for 7-10 ( not 15 seconds i overreacted )..
So any help now ?

hmmm my screen is only ever delayed by around 3 or 4 seconds e.g. when in the middle of installing software.
Only thing that might help is, as before, trying another microSD card or a different ROM/kernel.
The one I'm on is Mdeejay Clean Sense with hastarin 8.5.1. Try that and see if it's any better. If not, its either your microSD card or just your phone.

The one I'm on is Mdeejay Clean Sense with hastarin 8.5.1. Try that and see if it's any better. If not, its either your microSD card or just your phone.

Nope. It doesn't

try formating your sd card delete any partition keep the whole card FAT32 and use a RAM build my lag is so much better by doing this

[Q] Please Help..I am at my wits end..

I have an HD2(of course)...i have tried many many roms but am stuck with the same issue..I have random freezing issues..i have tried different radios, different classes of sd cards..tried adjusting the vm heap. but to no avail..i am currently using frankenstine rom it seems to be the smoothest but i still have freezing issues..when this occurs i can only pull the battery to reset it and sometimes when i do this i must pull battery 3-5 times to get it past the magloader screen.
i have asked this question in many of the rom threads that i have used but have never gotten a clear and definite fix..can someone enlighten me on how to cure this issue it is really becoming quite frustrating.. thanks in advance to anyone..

When do you have these freezing issues?
When you're watching a web video? Playing a game and listening to music at the same time?
If so, it's cuz you've run out of ram, so your phone will lagg to death. So get a task manager to close those apps.
If not Iunno what your problem is.
Note: Try not to pull out your battery, instead use the soft reset button. If you keep pulling out your battery, you'll mess up the pins.

Have you tried a task29 prior to flashing?

it doesnt seem to be specific on when it freezes..but usually when only using 1 program at a time..i do use task manager.i recently installed words with friends and almost every time i try to open it, it will freeze.

yes the last time i flashed i used task29..someone once told me it was my radio..which ive tried to downgrade to an earlier version but that didnt help either..

I think it's ram. Reason being, if it is from opening an app, it may be the app is using too much memory for it to handle, eg. mega jump is one
Never tried words before though, but it doesn't sound like something that uses a lot of memory but Iunno.
Do you use desire hd or z builds? Those leave very little ram left.

my current rom is a desire build..what build would leave more ram?
i am going to try yet again to reflash this phone and task29 it..

Any non sense build will give you 210+ ram free.

what radio are you using? had some freeze moments when i first started fiddling with android. upgraded my radio to 2.15 and never had a freeze ever since.

yea i got this radio also...

ok i rewiped, reflashed, task29'd it last night and thought everything was a-ok until a few minutes ago when yet again it froze. i cant wait till tmobile comes out with an htc phone with the same screen size as the hd2 but native android cuz ill be all over it..this crap gets old quick..i cant believe i am the only one with this unfixable issue.

did you also fully refresh you sd card? not much point task29'ing, reinstalling android and starting over if your sd card is still full of cache/droid system folders/EXT/Dalvik and what not.
that being said, if you have had the phone since way back last year, a good proportion of the early ones had freezing problems, regardless of rom.radio, and a quick warranty swap was usually the answer.

i did use the recommended panasonic formatter..and also the cmw format,dalvik and cache wipe...
your other comment kinda makes sense..i have had this since i think February of last year.

so after speaking with tmobile, and actually reflashing windows 6.5 and having it freeze on me twice and today it got stuck in a reboot loop, I am getting a new HD2..i sure hope this one does not freeze as much as my current model..if tmobile would come out with an android phone with this big of a screen i would switch.
