Android Problems Thread

Mods please close this If you think I am wrong.
Firstly there are a lot of guys here asking about the same problems with android which I dont think are being noticed because the messages are either deleted or thread closed so no one see's.
I am not the only one with these problems with android but here are the 2 main ones that keep popping up and mods keep knocking us back down telling us to post in the relevent thread yet these problems are not for a relevent thread.
1. With certain Android Roms users are experiencing when answering and making calls the phonecall will be disconnected due to a problem with the proximity sensor.
2. With the latest Zimage from Cotulla certain users are getting the SOD (screen of death) when the phone goes into standby mode. Cotulla has mentioned this problem is fixed yet we cant find this fix anywhere and he has released the GPS working fix yet no SOD fix?
Hope I dont come off too strong its just when we as in the members try and get our opinion across or ask for help, we are shot down instantly by Moderators who frankly I know more Info than them and they should not close threads on guessing what our problem is.
Thanks, and If anyone thinks I should be a part of the staff Team Just gimme a shout, and ill keep things in order!

Oh waste of thread so you have the answers for us somewhere else then do you? Please share!
waits...

have you posted the disconnect problem in the respective rom. I personally have never had it.
secondly if you are getting the green screen of death with the 25th zimage you should revert back to the 23. That image is considered to be the most stable for those who have sharp panels which is what is causing the Gsod.
my two cents
From what I have seen, said mods are only closing threads that their questions have been answered in the sticky information. Its those questions that had made it fustrating for the mods the dev's and the general xda community. I literally see the same questions over and over and these have been answered.

Well not all Android Builds are there same so you are going to have different results, Darkstones proximity sensor for calls works perfect, GPS has been fixed and working except the releases are all home made so far not official, the latest zimage is random for some people, personally works perfect for me but on another hd2 i have available the same build the image doesn't work, so who knows,
and as far as creating threads for problems and questions and answers its a waste of time because they get ignore and dropped down the pages like the thread i made yesterday to help out but nobody uses it or adds any extra info for it, cause it is mainly new people come here for android and they cant be arsed to search for anything and think everything works perfect straight away
@bazgee my point is there is many threads open and closed because you new people just wont search anything

Dude, all these questions have been answered like a 1000 times... Use search! you'll find a solution / answer!
I'm a noob at this.... really, and i had my fair share of hick-ups.. I've researched and read a lot for two days before attempting to install.. This way i knew what my problem would or would not have... I have not asked any questions yet regarding Android errors, please read and research dude... You'll find it!
If not, send me a pvt message and i will search it for you! The mods dont like it if you open these kinds of threads.. Unless you absolutly sure your the only one with this problem..
No offense, just making a point..

Were is the text selection method of Desire in Froyo?
Friends help me if possible, In Desire Build V5 .... to select a portion of text, we have a selection method like iphone, that alowed to stretch and shrink, was better than iphone, because we can send it to google tradutor or even to twitter or email.
Now, in Froyo this method of selection dont work...we have one like WM....and is wast we just can copy!!
For exemple:
How did you select a portion of text to edit bold, italic or underline??
I give my centims to, who can, make the a phrase like mine up with Froyo Darkstone V1 in HD2
Is any option off? or is it a app, which?
if not, it's possible to port the method selection of Desire in Froyo.
thanks

So Im guessing my second question still cannot be answered. Cotulla has said the SOD has been fixed yet where is this fix? GO ON search and then try and call me a noob.
I know for a fine fact there will be loads of users reading this right now agreeing with me and glad that I posted this.

Dude, i'm not calling you a noob, and i'm not dissin you in anyway,
The SOD, came with the latest Zimage from the 25th, dont use this one.. Get the ZImage from the 23rd NO SPEEDY!
If your problem still persists, i suggest you:
- Remove SD and SIM card
- Hard Reset
- Task 29 it
- Put a compatible radio on it, (See my signature for a example)
- Put a decent winrom on it, like Chuckys, Miri or Energy
- Hard reset it again
- Insert Sim and SD card
- Format SD CARD (uncheck quick format)
- Put an Android built on it, with Zimage Nospeedy from the 23rd
- perhaps a Android Loader...
Do this, might take you 30 min overall... and you'll be home free...
Now i've explained it again.. hope this helps and hope you'll research more in the future..
Alright bro, Good luck

maybe It hasnt been released. I know for sure the first few post says the 23rd is the most reliable version. I personally check his uploads daily. I havent seen it.

Zimage of the 25th was released untill everyone started to complain, then Cotulla removed the link...

To the OP.
I agree, some things need to be searched first, and your orig questions have been answered, I also to some extent agree with the you though, things get locked/deleted MUCH to soon.
In my case I searched for 2 days, found nothing, then posted a thread for thoughts and to help the devs of that Img/Kernal out with some info. I doubt they ever saw it because it was locked.
My issues are with the Camera (black screen only) and no Audio in phone calls. (yet i could get audio in EVERYTHING else)And yes, CLRCAD, etc, I know...
I was told to post in the relevent thread, but in my case, there wasn't one. So meh, it happens. I only thought I should have at least had a chance to respond but w/e.

best directions to change over to android?

I've seen a couple ways so far, but I'm not sure how stable or up to date they are. Can someone please point me in a direction where I can find the best way to convert to android?

I really am confused why that thread isn't stickied in the HD2 Android forum People new to HD2 or Xda just wont know where to look...

This seems fairly complicated, I'm not sure if I can do it I'm too use to programming android lol. Now if only I can find an app for I'M and sms/mms that doesn't cost in texts.

I had a Nexus One before I got my Hd2 so I know Android pretty well and have to say it was a pretty terrible experience compared to Windows Mobile on my Hd2.
Just not worth it really. The frustration trying to get it ported correctly the first time, the lags, the freezes, the battery life problems. In my opinion I would much rather have Windows Mobile anyday on my Hd2 over Android.
If you want a way to send text messages for free you could always sign up for Google Voice. I use it on my Hd2 so I don't have to pay extra for text messaging. I just log into m.google.com/voice and it works perfect

Eh I need something that shows up right there like handcent or chomp. Anyways I am downloading froyoston sense v2.7z and the kernel links and the links for kernel modules cannot be found.

Would any of the matching ones from here work? Is this all I need is the froyostone sen file plus the image kernel and kernel module? Or do I need something else?

[Q] Installing android on ROM

Hi .. as the subject says .. is there a way to install android to the ROM of the device??? .. u know completely do away with windows ...

well i searched the forum (again) and it had no information on this for atleast the first 7 pages..
ps. I have not asked about installing an android rom
I have asked if it is possible to install android ON THE ROM of the device
and well if you have seen this question asked and answered before please kindly provide me with the link .. I will be grateful .. thanks

You're not the only one with this question. I've searched and searched for an answer but hopeless... Either I don't know how to search (which I doubt) or search engine works in really weird way.
Anyway, my question is: can you delete windows (or maybe leave it) and install android on your phone memory?

ok, to be honest, it's hard for newbies to click a sticky titled "nand updates." they don't even know what nand means. but if the OP tried to browse the q&a subforums i'm sure he would've found a thread like this.

How does Darkstone's SuperRAM build help a guy asking how to flash a build onto the ROM?
I think there should be something at the very top of the first sticky that says something in big bold and colourful letters, like "Android ROM flashing is not available. Please search for NAND for further info"
Let's face it, you'd never think to search for the word NAND if you were looking for the same thing as the OP, unless you've spent time on the forums and already know about it.

Thats true ... never knew the the term nand until i was told to search for it in post 5. . Anyways ... if somebody does come here searching for android on ROM ..
There are people working on putting android on ROM .. but that thread is strictly for devs. The thing is this. Android on ROM (aka NAND) is actually NOT faster than android on the sd card. At this point when android on a win mobile is really buggy ..its also for your own good that you stick to loading windows then booting to android. If in case anything happens to the android installation then atleast you would have your windows installation. 2 days after my first post I am running android installed on my sd card on my hd2. There are no lags and everything is working, although its a bit buggy .. like the in call volume keeps increasing and dropping but i think its gonna be fixed pretty soon. After going through atleast 4 different versions of win rom and an android rom, here is what i found to be the most stable
ChuckyROM with radio 2.15
cyanogenmod for hd2 v0.34
its working nicely and there are no animation lags , video plays properly and music is good too .. its a little buggy but nothing too alarming ...
and all this thanks to ultramag69 who atleast set me off searching in the right direction

Haha you don't know how difficult it is not to flame you right now.
1. There is no best ROM. It's a matter of opinion. What's the best colour? Exactly.
2. Yes, there are tutorials, but I'm not going to give them to you. Find them yourself. If you aren't completely incompetent you'll find a link right in front of your eyes. If not, then you probably shouldn't be flashing anything.
3. Please watch this video before doing anything else.

Hi
I tested some of this forum roms and I think this rom (NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.7 [NativeSD][tytung_HWA_r3.4]) is better than other which I tested.
before doing any thing read forum posts carefully to avoid problems.

[Q]{Noob} 3G data not working

Hello HD2 users,
I'm an X10 user so I'm pretty noob in HTC HD2 android development.
The problem is that my dad has this phone and he tried to boot this rom.
Booting went good, everything is working except 3G data. I haven't found any buglist on this thread, so I don't know if it is normal or not. Everything is configured just like by me, even restoring stock APN settings doesn't help.
He has also some Froyo ROM and there 3G works just great. But Froyo is already old ROM, so I suggested him ICS.
Please tell me if You have any solution or the problem is just with ROM.
PS. If the problem is with ROM could You suggest any fully working ICS SD card ROM.

Not even a minute of searching the keyword "data" on that thread, and I already have the fix.
Let me give you an advice.
When experiencing a bug in a ROM, do this:
1- Check the first posts (probably will have a bug list or fixes for bugs)
2- Search the thread with potential keywords.
3- Post in the rom's thread.
4- Post your question/bug in Q&A.

Well, I would rather disagree with this ;P
The "no-data issue" seems to be quite frequent or at least my little research make me think so. I spent many hours testing different ROMs and searching for the solution (reading the SD and NAND info, changelogs, searching for "3g", "data connection" etc.) and I've found nothing, so maybe it's all about knowing HOW and WHERE to seek for the solution ;P... or just being lucky.
I would love to "post in the rom's thread" but I'm not interested in wasting my time to post 10 replies if I don't have anything to say or to spam in some God's forgotten topic just to get the opportunity to write "my 3g data sucks, mommy help! ". I don't who invented this 10-posts block for development forums but it's definitely annoying.
What I would do is pin the solution somewhere so that it was visible for everyone. The xda forums server would then be free of hopeless research done by users like me ;P
Since you posted the solution I will try it and - if it works - add it to my 3g-unfriendly roms list...

Not sure if troll or pure stupidity. (I believe it's stupidity)
First of all, do not rant at those who are trying to help you. (especially if they DID help you)
Second, "3- Why, there are 100 of replies so the dev won't read it so soon." Who are you to be helped by the developer himself? huh? ... when I said "ask it in the rom's thread", I didn't even think of the developer. But the users, there are many experienced members who had tried that particular rom, and probably faced the same issue and had it fixed, and they were going to help you. I DID NOT MEAN THE DEVELOPER HIMSELF.
And that advice was for future reference, I did not mean this thread. I repeat, I DID NOT MEAN THIS THREAD.
In case you don't know, Here is the definition of the word advice:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ad·vice : Guidance or recommendations concerning prudent future action, typically given by someone regarded as knowledgeable or authoritative.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And with that attitude, I doubt I will be helping you again.
Have a nice day !

So, you're having a go at the guy who provided you (and probably a few people if the problem is as widespread as others claim) with the fix? *facepalm*
