Hi
i'm using latest kernel right now and it's SUPER FAST
but this problem I'm writing now, have had it before I changed the kernel and still now, I can see that wi-fi is connected ... but when I use the marketplace or web pages ... is nothing, just waiting and waiting ... but nothing, maybe sometimes works ... and then stop it .. and it might work again when I restart the cell phone!.
are all has this problem or is it just me?
pls. can someone help me!
about my HD2:
Rom: Duttys creme de la creme (V5)
Radio: 2.12
Android: shubCRAFT 1.2b
Do you have Netgear router WiFi?
I replace my router Netgear with another and work fine.... Boh!
Test with another AP
No dude, definitly NOT!!! replace your router. ROFL!!!
It's something in the settings eighter in android or our routers.
Didn't find the clue eighter, but I have a DLink router, and I have to disconnect and reconnect my router (wait 30 seconds up to one minute), and then put the plug back in, and wifi works again. I never have this with other devices. So I guess it's android-related, and even more, I never had this with other versions than the one you mentioned.
Maybe it has something to do with your internet encryption.
Have you tried disabling the security and logging into it as open/unlocked connection?
I have seen this problem reported a few times, but never really looked into any potential fixes. I haven't had any problems at all with my Wi-Fi connections.
Updating Kernel and fixing Wi-Fi
This is from another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7632459&postcount=8531
Thanks to memin1857 for the original post.
I was having issues with my Wi-Fi not connecting most of the time. When it did, it was very spotty. So I updated to the latest Kernel and updated my .ko file. Doing this appeared to fix my Wi-Fi issues, plus the full ram Kernel has sped up Froyo quite a bit.
My setup:
TMous HD2 (Leo)
Cookie Energy Rom (24.Jul.2010 WWE)
2.10.50.26 Radio
darkstone HD2Froyo build (Not the darkFroyo build)
zImage from 2010-8-11
From memin1857:
STEP BY STEP UPGRADING TO NEWEST FULL RAM KERNEL
1) Download http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo...-htcleo-latest
2) Rename zImage-htcleo-latest to just zimage and copy it your Android folder (overwrite the original)
3) Edit your startup.txt to this: (delete original content)
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set initrd initrd.gz
set kernel zImage
set cmdline "rel_path=Android"
boot
4) If your WIFI is not working (error) Download http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo...leo-latest.tgz
5) Open the modules-htcleo-latest.tgz file with winrar or any similar program and find bcm4329.ko file inside. (It is located at lib\modules\2.32.xxxx\kernel\drivers\net\wireless\ bcmxxx) copy it to your sdcard root.
6) Start a Terminal Emulator within Android. (Install a terminal emulator from market if not already installed) Copy bcm4329.ko to sdcard root beforehand. Enter these commands:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
you should get no response and wifi should work immediately.
OR instead of those steps just wait for a new build to come up. New builds will include these ready to use.
-You won't lose settings
-You don't need to format your sd card
-If you don't use above startup.txt you will get stuck at jumping to kernel
-You don't need other modules unless explicitely written somewhere.
-I'm assuming you're using one of the newest builds such as shubcraft, froyostone, mattc Change startup.txt content if your android folder or initrd file is named different.
Other methods for replacing the wireless driver: (bcm4329.ko)

I could make this easier with a single zip file BUT this is the official way and it is future proof. (Please don't post files to file sharing websites it only causes confusion and quickly gets obsolete) If everybody are using the same kernel from central reprository http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/ it will be easier.
Please DON'T ASK if something doesn't work. Try again from the beginning or Use SEARCH THIS THREAD just above page numbers (not the big search box on top of page) I am SURE your problem is already answered.
This kernel uses all memory but if you get around 422756KB reported it is normal. (1MB is 1024KB, not 1000KB and it makes a usable 412MB, not 422MB) This behaviour is the same in winmo and also htc desire or nexus one. ALL HD2s including european ones labeled 448MB HAVE REAL ACTUAL 576MB physical memory. Htc just crippled the stock winmo and pre 2.xx radio to make us version look better. You will get full memory in Android with this kernel and you can get full memory in winmo if you flash a 2.10.50.xx or 2.12.50.xx radio + custom rom such as miris 6.5 v17.0
You may wait for
1600+ quadrant shubcraft is upcoming:

Hi,
i have tested sensor driver from Nexus Build in a Desire Build.
After reboot i have no longer screen freezes (only randomly on wake up).
Unzip and copy the attached file in (Desire Build) /system/lib/hw.
Backup your original file!!
Please report your test results.

Sorry for (I guess) stupid question...but how to copy the attached file to the mentioned location? Under windows mobile I can't access it (as well as on PC windows) and under Android I can't copy anything to this location (using Astro). Please give me some hint
Many thanks in advance!

Hi starbase,
after one day of use I can assure you that the number of freezes (at least at my device) have reduced dramatically. I could still force them, but under normal use (incl. walking) they are gone!
Good find!!
My conf:
mattc 1.7 sense rmnet
michyprima R11-AXI kernel

I downloaded droid explorer and the only folder I see under system is one called Lost + Found.
Am I just looking the wrong place?
For me my WiFi being left on when the device suspends seems to have been the main cause of screen freezes (it doesn't like waking up again it seems) and SoD.
A solution suggested by another user for that was to turn it off automatically using the app Lite Setting Profiles.
I've had my G-Sensor disabled, so I enabled it and tried this version (after a reboot of course). For me it seems to have made matters worse in that I managed to lock the phone up completely.
BTW I used Android Commander to put it on and changed the owner back to system after copying the file on:
chown system.system /system/lib/hw/sensors.bravo.so
You can verify the ownership with:
ls -l /system/lib/hw
Still testing results here, since freezes seem to increase as battery levels decrease. Thus far, though, it seems to have significantly reduced the freezes while just walking around - and those were the most irritating.
Running MattC 1.7, for the record.
Posted via HD2
Have been using today and have had barely any freezing at all!
Good job!

Have you tried Android Commander? Sounds like you are in the right place but you should be able to see a bunch of other files including System.
I am using FroyoStone Sense V2 and I've experienced far fewer screen freezes since installing this! Brilliant!
EDIT: Nope still getting quite a few screen freezes coming on now

What do you mean by Desire Build? Will this work with all builds?
This Fix Works!!
My setup:
Artemis 32.0 Atlantis NLD
radio 2.11.50.2
Mattc Leo 1.7 (Mattc's kernel)
I've tried this solution and NEVER had any screen freeze since. i think this is the best solution for fixing the screen freezes, at least for me it is.
Thank for sharing this find. i think it should be made into a sticky.
Hey Guys,
I never ever get GPS of my legend locate. Today I see the gps.conf file (I mean /etc/gps.conf )
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
However, I am now in canada, is that the reason why I never get the satellites locate?
I tried to change it , but it says that it is a read-only file system (even I got rooted and try to chmod 777)
Could anyone told me how to solve it?
BTW. I currently use CM 6.1 ... I think many people get this version and it works right, but why mine doesn't work (it didn't work in my previous android 2.1 kernel either)...
Help!!!
Update, I find another gps.conf in my phone. it's in /system/etc/gps.conf... what's the difference?
All right... I need to mount them....
: D
But it didn't work correctly... sometimes the old version(europe one) came back.
and the now there is zero or one satellite on the GPS..
So I've tried alot of Nand builds lately (Like TyphooN CM7, CMYLXGO's Stock Desire, and a few others) and it seems none of them allow me to use gps ill open google maps and it will say waiting for location then after like 2-3 mins it will say your current location is temporarily unavailable I've also tried using the GPS Status Tool to try and download GPS Assistance data to see if that would help but it doesn't ):
Anybody have any idea's why it doesn't work? and how i can fix it?
Did the gps work before? does it work with winmo or igo my way (any gps software) . You can try and flash again the radio,maybe do task 29 and then radio.
Can you use adb?
If so, check your /system/etc/gps.conf file.
Make sure NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
Many builds have it set to "europe" or "asia" by default.
oh yeah maybe he didn't change in the config file before he flashes ,right?
Yeah I'm having the same problem I change the gps.config and replace the lib files. Gonna flash a different radio and see if it works
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Seems to be a very few people out there with phones that don't work with the NAND builds at all with GPS. If your phone still works using Winmo then I would suggest using one of the SD builds instead. Especially if you changed your gps.conf file and it still doesn't work. Did you try the files that are found on the Instantaneous GPS Fix thread?
Try FasterFix and GPS Status to fix it
I have the same issue. It used to work and for the hell of it, I flashed a WinMo 6.5 (CR192 DESIRE HD v6.5.3.1.0 Stable - 1.1 Vibrant GTX Released) with QuickGPS and it worked and I got a GPS lock/fix. However, I flashed back to a Android NAND and GPS can't get a fix. There are lots of people in the [Mar.1.2011] Instantaneous GPS Fixation CWR v1.1 RELEASED! who say they can't get a fix even after modifying gps.conf. I think it's a kernel driver issue or all the hardware isn't the same or something.
Can I change that gps.cfg without reflashing? Mine is set to Asia....

Yes.
Option 1 : You use rootexplorer to modifiy the file.
Or
Option 2 : You use Droidexplorer on PC which allow you to explore the phone and get/put file. So you get gps.conf, you modify it and you put it back.
Or
Option 3 : you use adb.
I like DroidExplorer for this kind of operation. Simple and efficient

Thanks I'll give it a try right now.
So just open the gps.cfg in notepad correct?
Yes, with notepad for example.

You can also use "vi" to edit the file straight from the adb shell.
Stroll around.
I tried changing the gps config file myself it was wrong too so i got excited it might work ;~; and I've tried the faster fix thing before but it still didn't work but that so I'm gonna try the flashing wimo and see if works there it used to work awhile back and super well too then one day i went to use it and it was gone Dx
Hi guys, bit of a newbie here.
Ive seen on the site abut getting gps to work on this version and followed instructions but nothing seems to work.
It got me thinking... would an external Bluetooth GPS work instead? Just as a bit of a work around?
Many thanks for your help here

The OP may also want to check the gps.conf file to determine if it is optimized for the region. Check this thread out as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
I am using Tytung's Gingerbread 2.3.5 Nexus HD2 v2.9 build with both the GPS v2.0 and an optimized gps.conf file on my phone. First locks are under 10 seconds and relocks are almost immediate using the built-in Google Navigation on the phone. Without the optimized gps.conf file, first lock was around 20 seconds. Tytung's ROM is set up for the North America. If you are not in North America, then you will need to change the gps.conf file to match your region.
The build-in gps must work, but a bluetooth gps will work to.

GPS problem
Hey guys I don't want to open a new thread, so I'll just post here...
I have the same GPS problems as most people here – GPS Status and GPS Essentials are showing no satellites, 0 visible and 0 used for fix.
I’ve left the phone to search for 10min in couple of occasions and nothing.
I think I’ve tried about everything here to fix it (and this is begging to bug me majorly)...
Updated the libraries with v2.0 RPC tytungs update (before that I’ve used the AngleDeath Europe.zip patch)…
Then edited the gps.conf file
first added the eurpe.pool.ntp.org,
then tried following lines
0.europe.pool.ntp.org;
1.europe.pool.ntp.org;
…etc.
Event tried the (my) country specific server address (pulled it of from the NTP POOL PROJECT website)
rs.pool.ntp.org
Installed the xtra.bin injector
Tried it on a perfect summer day and/or night, with 3g and WIFI on… but no results…
I’m running
CyanogenMod-7-NIGHTLY-Desire[TyphooN_V3.5.7-MAGLDR]
Tytungs r11_beta2 kernel (the lock screen lag fix)
CW 3.1.0.0
Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
Any ideas?
hi, this is what ive used but i must be doing something wrong and dont understand what im doing with the files etc
Im using MDJ_GingerBread_HD2_v.1.0_RC4_RAM_MODDED SC Card version
does that make any difference?
Is anyone with this problem using one of the latest roms with agps support? I can lock on in about 20 seconds from a restart. Also is everyone on the latest magldr?
never had any problems using MDJ Gingerbread... no editing or anything else - it works perfect right from the get-go...

I think the problem is that on your build they recommend using Tytung's NMEA and not the RPC file that you tried. Try loading v2.0 NMEA by Tytung and give it a try. On some of these builds, only one of these files will work. I suspect your build is one that will need only the NMEA file to make the GPS work properly.

Yeha, I’ve noticed a after my post here that in the “update” list of the TyphooN ROM is stated that the NMEA lib is implemented in it… anyhow, re-loaded the NMEA lib… edited the .conf file again… rebooted… injected the xtra.bin … left the phone outside for like 5min to try to find any satellites… 0 hits :/
Man, this is frustrating… I would hate to have to change or re-flash the rom, I’m quite satisfied with this one… maybe I’ll switch to iOS XD

With all the changes that you did, you may have no choice but to reflash the ROM again. Then only change the gps.conf files to your region after the reflash if it is not correct for your area. Then hopefully your GPS will be working again. If after all that, and it still doesn't work, you may have to look in the GPS antenna to see if it is working.

Unfortunately, I can't see the link. Maybe you should try the quick and easy way to change your region by using FasterFix that is free on the Market. At least it will quickly change your first gps.conf file line to the correct region and hopefully get you a gps lock. I suspect that the gps.conf file you are changing may not be correct or possibly the changes you are making are not being taken and the original gps.conf file keeps staying? I don't think it is the build. I've used TyphooN in the past with my custom gps.conf file that I use with no problem.
