Hi all
I am new to Android.
I recently converted my hTC HD2 from Windows to Anadroid NAND. The funny part is regardless which version I use Like [BOYPPC, MIUI, CyanogenMod7 or Ultimate Droid] I can't see my Widgets after I install them. They are in the installed apps menu but not under Widgets menus.
To add more problems, whenever I start up the wireless, it connects and obtains an IP, but there is no Internet. So I installed proxy and now I have Internet. But another problem rises is that the web browser will not allow me to access SSL web pages like gmail or Android Market. Data Connectivity problem: A secure connection could not be established.
So basically the Android HD2 has been reduced to a phone function only with some few apps I can install from web. Some apps I can't download from web cuz it require Adroid market (secure connection could not be established).
I wonder do all Android NAND's exhibit this behavior or is there a workaround to the two problems I have?
What radio version do you have on your phone right now?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
Radio 2.15
MAGLDR 1.13
Move all widgets to internal storage, otherwise they won't work. And also, no, not a single Android ROM has these as known problems as far as I know, your other problems are due to something else
Agree^
If you are trying to "install" the widgets they will not be seen by the system. I am guessing you have a compolation of widgets that you have aquired over time.
To expand a bit more on the previous post I would advise first un-installing all the widgets you tried installing then copying the widgets to your "/system/app" folder using some file explorer program then restart your phone. I would also advise just to reduce the risk of any other problems to durring the restart go into your recovery then delete cache, delete Dalvic Cache then fix permissions. It may be over kill and it will make the restart take longer but it gets the easy troubleshooting things out of the way early.
As for the no connection problem... the phone worked correcly in WM6.5? Did you try to connect or call prior to installing all of your apps? Have you gone in and phisically made sure that all of the APN settings match with what they should be? Do you know what they should be?

I would think that that is complete overkill for the widget problem, you're making it far too complicated.
@ OP Just go to settings>manage applications>widget which you want to move>move to internal storage, works for me every time without fail. Also you may want to change the default install location to 'automatic' as I'm sure most widgets automatically install to the internal storage anyway
hTC HD2 NAND
Thanks to all who have participated. You have been very helpful
Moving the widgets to the internal RAM has showed up in the Widgets menu. yay.
As for the WM6.5 it worked perfectly with wireless "once the proxy is defined in there".
Now I am down to one problem. Wireless Internet.
The wireless works fine even with Android. But there is no Internet pages as default configuration. Once the Proxy "TransProxy" is installed and running with proxy "IPort" only then there is Internet. Is this normal?
I can access SSL web pages via 3G connection, but the running cost is high. Wireless is the best choice. But I am slapped with "A secure connection could not be established".
I hope I have answered your questions as well, and you guys are great.
No clue whatsoever if this will help but I saw this somewhere else so:
Go to settings>wireless and networks>WiFi settings>menu>advanced>regulatory domain>13 (at least that's what I have) then menu>save. May help, may not and sorry if it doesn't
Thanks again all for the help & tips.
Do I sense that out of a box fresh installation of Android NAND does not support Internet browsing without a proxy app?

I have been using Android for quite some time now. I haven't had this problem..
If I understood you right, this only happens on wifi right??
And you said you can only download a few apps in market place correct?
I am not certain but the problem could be with MAGLDR... I know that MAGLDr uses whats called RMNET it's a type of connection to internet but thats about all I know.. cLK (the other bootloader) uses whats called PPP instead of RMNET. I am not certain but I've read in several developer threads where cLk (PPP) is more stable than the RMNET.
I do not know if cLK would fix your problem or not, but it could be worth a try. I know these connection types are especially a big factor in the new ICS builds.
Yes this only happens on wifi.
From Hd2: I enable wifi->connect to AP->obtain IP->connected to AP.
Launch web browser from HD2 and nothing happens. To confirm connectivity I use my desktop or laptop to ping the IP address that I obtained from the HD2 and it replies. No issues there. This only confirms that HD2 is indeeded connected to AP.
Since I do not have Internet on HD2, I install TransProxy IPort->enable it and the browser opens Internet. Hmmm.
Actually I cant access the market yet as I cant log-in to Google. HTTPS.
Summing it up:
No proxy = no Internet.
TransProxy = Internet http only. https are slapped with "secure connection could not be established"
I hope this clears things more.
As a last resort, I am thinking to re-flash everything from Zero. I use latest versions.
HSPL- 2.08 HSPL
Radio 2.15.50.14
Task 29
MAGLDR1.13
Recovery 150M repartition & CWR 3.0.2.5
Install ROM from CWR -> HyperDroid-CM7-Killer-Koala-v5.5.2-magldr-signed
Anyone would like to comment on the steps I use?
Once done I will update you with the results.
Thanks all to your help & feedback
I reflashed everything from zero as I mentioned and I still have this problem.
What I meant to say able to download, I meant to say I am able to download files and attachments from normal Internet sites that do not require SSL. I am unable to get into the Android Market as it requires SSL. I never logged into the app market using my android. A secure connection cannot be established once the Proxy is configured. No proxy no Internet. A viscous endless circle.
So to all Androdians out there, you just enable Wifi, get connected to AP and you have Internet without defining a proxy on your Android?
Well, to all of you who have participated, thanks for your help.
I solved my problem with a simple app called AutoProxy. I now can log into the Android Market
I hope this tips would come in handy to anyone searching the forum.
And I am loving the NAND Android on HD2. For the first time in my life I feel I am using a phone for other than a phone. WM6.5 sucked big time.
Keep up the Good work and lets help others.

Nice to see you've sorted things out

After searching both here and on google I have not found anything so I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me out with two minor annoyances.
I have noticed that several applications can run without showing up in the task manger (both dutty and the regular one).
Is there a way to see and/or close these applications?
I have WorldMate installed and even though I have disabled auto updates it still connects. So my second question is this:
Is there a way to see what applications are using a data connection (preferably the exact executable)?
Thanks in advance!
I think the standard HTC one (included with the phone) is able to shut down more, but l'm not sure about your problems.
If you have a search through the apps section then i think I've seen something in there that tells you what is using your data (data monitor of some sort?)
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Owen.
in standard task manager click menu view processes to see lots more of what is running.
Hi, I am newbie here but spent a lot of time testing the builds that developers have offered us. Big thanks to all the developers who are truly making HD2 more sexy and top toy in the market even though it has been there for almost a year (which merely happens to other phones, dare I say this?)
Currently using Froyo (mattc, RC1.2) on HD2 with exceller dualboot loader (V1.02), working very stable and smooth. Asides the points which have been listed in their posts, I found the following not functioning properly (or just happened to m2??)
1. Every time it reboots, the bluetooth automatically turns on (reported by other users). The HTC bluetooth toggle works funny when I tap it to turn it off- becomes gray but seems refuses to turn off...
2. Can not use google voice search- "process com.google.android voicesearch has stopped unexpectedly-force close". Found some solution in Android Software Development in the forum (just search "voice search"), but I suppose it is only for nand android thus not the solution for our case?
3. The voice in Google navigation is funny, quite robot-ish, any way to change it?
4. My winxp-64bit cannot recognize it as USB storage. Charging with USB cable to PC is fine, but it does not pop-out for selection of functionality, even I manually change it to USB storage. (solved: using different USB port followed by uninstalling the driver in PC device manager, also I installed JRT Auto Mount software listed in market, which might help as well))
5...
Hope this thread is useful, and list your findings here so that our lovely developer can make HD2 perfect.

This is totally normal. It is a Text-To-Speech-Technology
Advantage: Everything is spoken - Streetnames, Cities, Autobahn-Numbers etc.
Disadvantage: It sounds like an robot.
no internet .. no my location update.... stock 1.66 greek rom... 2.12.50.2.2 radio....
if you have no internet connection you should check your provider APN and the option you subscribed, I need to change the APN name each time I re install a android rom but it works !!!
Hello.
I've installed android SDK on my acer aspire ax1300 computer twice now & the android SDK works fine but has left my computer running horrible. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or perhaps has a solution?
Specifically the problem i get is that when i try to open a web page at random times throughout the day i will get "windows can not display the web page" it offers a point to select diagnose problem so i do & it comes back "there does not seem to be anything wrong" It then refreshes the web page to where i was going and everything works fine. It does this maybe 10x in a day. Also i noticed that trying to view web pages takes a lot more time..i mean A LOT more & the time it takes to shut down has increased as well. I know android sdk is a huge file but i still have a ton of memory left so I know its not a memory issue or a installed issue since its working fine. My thought was maybe it was a paths directory issue but i cant find any info to support this or even why i thought this...jus do i guess,. lol.
solutions i've tried1st) i uninstalled android sdk to see if it would do it with it uninstalled which it does not...only when android sdk is installed do i have these problems
2nd) i double checked to make sure my computer meets the requirements set forth by google which it does
3rd) i tried to look through countless forums including videos from theunlockr.com & have not came across anyone with this problem or similiar for that matter
4th) i defragmented my hard drive
5th) i disabled indexing
6th) cleared computer of unwanted files & disabled unnecessary files from within the start up menu
7th) i finally caved and came to the experts here on xda for help...please help me fix this issue or i will have to ban my hopes of having android sdk & a working computer
8th) i disabled Aero
9th) i ran avg pc tuneup including cleanup/defrag/tweaks/optimize/registry repair & registry defragment all of which did not seem to help the issue
10th) installed firefox to see if i would have the same issue...will report back after some time using to see if it helped
Thanks in advance to any help any member gives or any nudge in the right direction ?:^D
also if i kill the process to adb.exe & java.exe i notice a huge system improvement..soo... . i then tried to visit sites that had been giving me problems & i did not seem to have those same issues. web sites seem to load much faster also signing out of yahoo is much quicker. (it would take a very long time to sign out of yahoo before..normally i would have to click sign out many times)
anyone with info/help & also wouldn't mind passing it along i would be very appreciative.
so i figured out what was causing my problem..not to sure how to fx it but i wanted to list it just incase someone else runs into the same issue i have had.
i have a cisco router which worked fine when i dont have android sdk installed but when i do i cant use the router. well i can but it gives me the problems listed above. when i unplug the router my computer runs & works just fine so i know its the router that has been giving me problems. i guess i'll look for a new router and hopefully i wont have that problem anymore.
Hi folks,
Dont know what is happening here, but for whatever reason I cannot install any apps from AppBrain or Market.
This problem also exists or is consistent with no matter which ROM that I use, meaning if I use JoeStones, CM7, whatever.
Saying this, I what I can do is download .APK files or apps on my own webspace fine enough. Which then show up in downloads and install fine so just not sure why it is that I cannot install from Market or Appbrain.
The message I get from Market is when clicking install is: Starting Download
And that is it, nothing else happens and it seems to sit on that for endlessly so then cancel it and try to figure out why it wont download so I can install, hence which brings me to here making this post.
Any ideas or possible solutions?
(I have also used the reset factory after doing previous installs with no effect)
Folks, I finally found the answer to my problem to the questions I asked.
For the sake of others whom come across the same problem ever, in this instance it may have something to do with what Modem/Router/Firewall you are using.
The case for me I am using a Billion modem router with firewall set to high and discovered I need to allow TCP port 5228 allow outbound traffic to the exceptions or rules.
This then allows google talk to start straight up and downloads just flew down over my WLAN where I use my phone.
Sorry for all the previous questions or posts, but I never knew that Market downloading was on a Port related task basis.
Good luck to others whom also come across this issue.
Cheers
Same Problme for me..I am using GPRS only how to solve my Problem...
Hi there,
my problem is that I can't download some apps from market. These apps are large (like Angry Birds or similar, bigger that 15 mb). When I try to download a notification appears, which tells me, that it's starting download and then it disappears. And with smaller apps like translator or astrid task list I don't have any problems.
It started about 1-2 weeks ago.
The problem isn't in my network connection - I disabled firewall (droidwall), checked if app will be downloaded on gprs/edge, 3g and multiple wi-fi's (included hotspot made by my friend from his htc, which downloads apps).
I looked over the web to find the solution and here's the list of what I've tried:
1. Log in to gtalk while downloading.
2. Delete market cache.
3. Delete market data.
4. Delete download manager cache&data.
5. Unmount SD card while download is starting (and mount it back).
6. Uninstall market updates.
7. Make '.cache' folder on sd card.
And it didn't work. I didn't try to use factory reset, but I believe you'll find the solution (btw what does factory reset delete?).
Please help me, because I simply don't know what to do next.
Ah, and last thing: I use Android 2.3.5, swiftdroid 2.0 rc4 (based on cyanogen mod 7.1.0 RC1).
Which is the best rom that supports all the things????with out market android sucks
Hi:
I am loving my HTC HD2 running Windows Mobile and Android. I am using the following latest builds which work very well:
AmericanAndroid
MCCMBoxMax
and another which doesn’t come to my mind.
The only thing that is keeping me from a perfect experience is getting internet connection while in Android.
1. In Android OS, If I am connected to WIFI I get perfect internet at home or anyplace else where there is WIFI
2. In Windows Mobile, if there is no WIFI, I can connect to internet via my cell phone connection. I guess this is called data connection. I seem be having trouble doing this regardless of what Android build I use. Is there some setting I should be using in Android to get this to work? I’m almost certain I have the Mobile network setting checked. If there is some other setting, I must be missing it
I don't get any error messages, just that there is no internet connection when I goto a web page or try to goto Market.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for your help in advance!

There are many reasons why your data connection might not be working well because of.
First, your APN Settings may not be correctly set.
Second, in case you're running off NAND and you're using cLK with rmnet.
Third, your phone couldn't resolve the DNS server thus giving you no connectivity.
To fix the:
First, check your settings.
Second, Enable ppp instead of rment.
Third, editing the build.prop in your device.
after opening it, look for DNS1 and DNS2 .
Set DNS1 (or Primary DNS) to: 8.8.8.8
Set DNS2 (or Alternative DNS) to : 8.8.4.4
build.prop is located in system folder in your device.
Reboot, and check if it is working.
Well, maybe I mistated....It doesn't connect to anything while booted in Android. The only so far to get internet connection is thru a WIFI connection. If there is no WIFI then I get nothing. With WINMO 6.x I get data, but not with Android.
Will those instructions you gave still work? If so, I will try it after work.
Thank You!
You mean you see the "H", "3G", "E" or "G" but you can't get internet. or you don't even see them?
what does it say when you turn on Data connection?
Ah...maybe thats the problem. I get 5 bars, but those letters are no where to be found. When I'm on the WINMO side, I get those letters.
Wait....as I'm typing this, I just saw the letter H with up and down arrows below it. What does that mean?

How do you enable ppp?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
That means you're now connected to the internet, you probably have network select set on "WCDMA Only" and your area has insufficient 3G coverage. Just set it to "WCDMA/GSM Auto" .

Depends on your build, reading the OP of your build will definitely give you the answer but in most cases you can do so by editing the config.txt file on your sd card (create if not there) .. also keep in mind that not all builds support config.txt nor PPP. Refer to your build's thread. you also have to have a compatible kernel.
I'm using HyperDroid GBX v12, couldn't find anything on the rom's thread. Although I did find a ppp.txt right next to my build.txt in my system folder. Does this mean it is enabled?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I'm not really sure, but you could try making a txt file on the root of your sd card and name it "config.txt" and write in it the following:
Code:
ppp_mode=1
Then reboot your phone with sd card on, and see if it works.

I'd advise you to use a permanent Android Version, such as BOYPPC (which is the best in my mind)!
Otherwise install a newer SD-Android Version, and turn on the data connection in settings! Should work.
If there appears a E, G, 3G or H in your task bar, then u have internet connection!
Thank you for all your help and suggestions. I just installed:
[08 JULY][SD/MAGDLR] MccMBoxmaX GS V8 Gingerbread
And I finally got the Data to work. I don't know what happened, but it working. I am so happy I waited a year to by the HD2 Telstra.....Thanks again!
