hi

configuration=settings?

if yes i don't have problems with it,but just in case format your card(again) and tell us more details,what SD card you have,if other versions was working for you before,etc.

and try first boot without the sim card

p.s. also try to re-download the new version again,it can just be corrupted the one you have..
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
yes, i have the same issue.

some also had this problem, see here :

http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/issues/detail?id=23

that must be because of our provider (orange france).

but it doesn't really matters, the phone works without changing configuration, both 3G and GSM.

[HD Mini Android Development] zio_rudy:
something miss

hi all!

i fallow this tutorial to install but dont work on my htc mini.

i have a new sd card (samsung 4gb, class 6).

this is what i do step by step:

- format sd in fat32 with win7

- use the tool to format the sd card (the .exe in the first page)

- drag the file from .rar to the sd main root (without any main folder, my path is: /sd memory/"allthefileintherar")

- take the phone go brows the file and tap "HARET_PHOTON7227.exe"

- hd mini start to install, progress bar "HaRET: booting linux ..."

- wait 10min

- wait 20min

- wait 30min

- continue...

Installation is blocked!

there is something i do wrong with the sd root or folder?

thank u all
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
all files must be copied to the root of the SD and that's it, many have previously had this problem and solve it so that they got a another SD card

[HD Mini Android Development] krisbiker2:
Right- firstly an apology if the answer to this prob lies out there somewhere- I've done numerous searches with no joy. I installed android, ran haret and it loaded ok. I couldnt get out of it into WM- ended up removing battery and resetting. As has been noted, my GPS no longer workrd in WM. Found the set up in Android thread, unfortunately Android no longer runs on my phone. Have tried reinstalling, no joy. Have since done a factory reset on wm, still no gps. Have tried HTC photon gps program- no joy. Am now really stuck. Can anyone tell me how to re enable GPS from windows please? Thanking any one with suggestions in advance....
[HD Mini Android Development] liorderei:
try to change rom maybe?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
1.not booting Android is SD card fault(99%) replace it and try again

2.GPS not working in WM anymore because is set to off in Android,you need to run Android and change from settings in order to have GPS enabled on WM.

btw...how long did u wait to boot Android?
[HD Mini Android Development] krisbiker2:
Thanks for the replies, as I managed to boot ok into android 1st time, I thought sd card probably ok- ive now deleted And, am hoping for a solution without reinstalling as at present it seems more hassle than its worth- Im a WM diehard but wanted to dip toe in water out of intreast. May try reinstalling radio ROM to see if that solves. Waited for full boot !st time in Android, about 5 mins, now when I try to run, when HTC boot screen comes up, its booting into WM, the splash shows no Android on the screen
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
my powers of translation can not match your style. I would gladly help you with advice but my telepathy gene is damaged from birth ... so there is no other choice than to the traditional way (writings clearly) what is the problem?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
1.you can't enable GPS in WM if you don't install back Android!

2.i'm pretty sure reinstalling ROM won't help too!

my advice(which i gave to all having your problem) is:

1.format SD Card(see my tutorial)

2.install Android

3.check status in Android>settings>location>use gps sattelites(if it's on turn it off,if it's off turn it on)

4.restart phone,boot WM....test GPS..it should work!

P.S.Android is not a hassle,but if you think so don't use it!

P.P.S WM 6.5 sucks!
[HD Mini Android Development] krisbiker2:
Thanksfor the answer, it looks like I'll have to reinstall Android on freshly formatted sd card.
[HD Mini Android Development] krisbiker2:
OK- done it, GPS now working, thank you very much for the help, I'm still intreasted in how you would turn on gps reciever from within WM. Did not mean to offend with "too much hassle", I've used WM for so long and find it covers all my needs, the idea with this install was to get a feel for Android, may try having a play again.
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
U mean GPS still not working on WM?

If not,GPS receiver turns on automatically when u run GPS software.
[HD Mini Android Development] krisbiker2:
Sorry, maybe not clear- GPS is now working fine, thanks, I'm intreasted in whether there are either hidden settings somewhere within WM that would enable turning the GPS on and off as Android must have switched a registry entry or something?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
no,there are not such a settings,only to change baud rate and port
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i have the same problem 2. it all starts 3 days ago. first i wanted to navigate with android ( that was normally working ) but nothing. He found no gps connecting. So yesterday i wanted to navigate with wm , but still nothing happend. than i turnt in android gps off, and boot into wm. then i download satalites but that won't go because i have switcht off the gps in android. So i went back to android and turn gps on. so again i starting in wm and downloaden satalites and it goes. But again no gps connecting in WM and not in android . what is the problem. i have install windows mobile but still no gps connecting. WHAT IS THE D@*^M problem
[HD Mini Android Development] seppe82:
Hi!

I had a similar problem with the 134 release. I also thought that my GPS does not work anymore, because when I wanted to download the satellite positions the device always told me that GPS is deactivated. In the last versions of android you just had to switch GPS off/on and then it worked again in WM.

I realized now, that you can ignore the error message when you download the satellite positions. Go to google maps and use GPS. After a while you should get a GPS signal, even if you observed an error message in the the satellite positions download window. Though I had to wait longer than usual in google maps to get signal it worked.

So I suggest: Try it in the usual way

-switch GPS on/off in Android

-boot WM

-try downloading satellite positions (if it works-> everything is okay)

- if it doesn't find satellites -> go to google maps, activate GPS there and wait for signal

I hope it did not only work for me but it also works for you!
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
it won't work i tried everything. i now try it with R127. i did what you said seppe82. i activate gprs with google maps but 10 minutes no signal. i tried it with gps function in android off , and i tried it with android gps on , both not work.
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
also not work with R127, i turn in android gps off then on and then i start windows mobile and test my gps with google maps , still nothing happends. Is there somtehing deleted in my windows mobile? it is strange that after a hard reset still gps not works.
[HD Mini Android Development] seppe82:
That's really strange :confused: I'm sorry that my hint does not work for you.

From my experience I just know, that I had to try it several times until it worked. Furthermore I can't believe that android deleted something in your windows directory.

I have no idea how to help you any further and hope you manage to fix it.

Good luck!
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i not hope that my gps antenna is loose. i really don't know what to do now

I GIVE IT UP!!! already crack in screen, now gps not working anymore. what should i do buy another phone
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
what GPS software did u use on WM?

Edit: I tested myself and things are very simple: if GPS is OFF on Android,on WM won't work too,if it's ON on Android GPS will work on WM(and Android of course) too(on WM connected to satellites in few sec)

My idea what can be the problem is:did you mix Android releases?I mean using a release from google page then adding fixes from munjeni

if that's not the case then it is a hardware problem...
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i think it is a hardware problem. because i only used munjeni + his fixxes. last fix was gps fix , then my gps works fo 1 day next day nothing did. and in wm also nothing did.
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
Well if i were you i would try the google release before to say it's a hardware problem
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
but it also won't work with only windows mobile. my navigation always working on wm and every android version sinds schlunds gps fixxed. Now i install 3 simular versions. 1 from 05-07 1 from 10-07 ( munjeni ) and 1 from cm6 deferas. Nothing worked, then i give a hard reset and try gps withoud any sd card.
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
I have a solution to your problem with gps

I have a solution to your problem with the gps but strictly follow the instructions

1st you must be cool - meaning calm :)

2nd You do not have to do ROM update or hard reset not working for this problem but if you already did it - it does not matter ...

3rd Android boot, any! all the same (for this problem.)

4th turn ON the GPS location from settings

5.reboot in WM

6th go to setting => Location> sat.position download (very important because without this navigation as Garmin, for example takes 10 minutes to find satellite position OK ?...to speed up the navigation you need to download an sat. position)

if you fail and you get message "locations must be activated" just try once or twice more time and you will see that WORK, after downloading go to your navi prog. go outside and wait until find satellites the first time is always a little slower ...
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i tried that over and over now im trying it for the last time. i install tomtom again and put it over in the window where i always hat GPS connection. thanks for the answers. first of al tomorrow i let my screen repair its a little bit broken. but for 4 months being broken and hat no problems with GPS. so that can not be the problem.
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i did what you said 15MA1L but i won't work. is there not something like a app to check or your gps antenna is loose , or working or something.

can this be something why gps not working?

I've found out what is causing com.android.settings process to crash when trying to open APN list in setting. In this list there is 7 invalid entries. To repair this you have to use APN Backup & Restore software from Marketplace.

- Backup your APN list (in summary it will say that you have 7 invalid entries)

- Delete APN list

- Reboot Android (no data connection at this time)

- Restore APN list from backup (again you will be informed about 7 invalid entries and that they will be ignored)

- Again reboot Android

- Now you can access APN settings without crash

If you are unable to connect to market, I've attached this software. So you have to download it and then put it on your SD card to folder AndroidApps (it's located in the same directory as other Android files like system.ext2 and others). On the next launch of Android it will be installed automatically.

Update:

I suggest using this -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748980 solution (under update).

Access point name (APN) Crash = GPS not work (I think NO)

we need HELP ! of developers here, I do not know if these two things can be related to the problem.I think no because, you can use GPS without a sim card and without the provider...

1.Q Are you try outside (open sky) or in your car ?

2.Q The BAUD RATE and COM PORT for GPS may be incorrect at the navi prog.?
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
1. i tried everywhere open sky , in car

2. i never changed the baud rate and com port it is always on com4 and 4800 baut rate. i changed it today to com0 and 9600 baut rate but no succes.

iv done hard reset everytime so got fed up and stopped using android for the time being,i`ll try complete fresh reinstall of android, reformat sd card etc,i did charge it on android by mistake once so im thinking maybe i corrupted something,are there any issues with ghost drivers on wm or android?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
it cannot be because of charging or ghost drivers since Android files and,kernel,drivers everything are on SD card and WM files,drivers are on NAND.
[HD Mini Android Development] BATFINK74:
thanks for that,im really not sure then,i`ll try a clean install and see if i can swap back and fore smoothly,until we get fully functional android then i want need to swap back to wm :) thanks tzacapaca
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
You can try to reinstall WM and see if that helps.

Did you use any special app to start Android? Some "bootloader"? Or just by starting HaRET?
[HD Mini Android Development] BATFINK74:
just by starting HaRET codiak,to be honest i think its by downloading one kitchen build then adding updates from diff versions,probably corrupted the whole pack :confused:

Experiencing Android on HTC Mini

First, thanks to all devs that made a tremendous work to adapt Android to HTC HD Mini :)

I got the Mini from Orange in France and here is my 10 days experience report on Photon-Android.

Installed first r134++ on a 2Gb Transcend microSD 1 week ago.

I experienced the regular issues linked to this release, the main one being "No charge from USB"

So after 2 days, I format the card, installed release r127. More stable, Battery charging, but high consuming! After 3h with 3G or Wifi activated, battery level decreased very fast. BTW, system time was running too fast as well.

Then, after searching on the forum, I found that update from Munjeni :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15703681&postcount=163

I installed it directly over the r127 without formating previously and it works great.

- This update brought many improvements : G-Sensor reacts faster, it seems that Battery is not decreasing as fast, but in parallel, I switch on/off 3G or Wifi and connect with only when needed. System time runs still too fast, but less faster than previously with r127. I use Clocksync app to fix it.

An other improvement is that buttons lights on the bottom of the screen are not anymore switched on, which was really annoying with r127 especially at night.

- Regarding Battery temperature, after 10min with wifi on, it rises from 32° to 39° (I'm using Battery snap app).

So to optimize battery, I manage connectivity and also use the Screen Filter app.

- I tested GPS, it works fine (maps+Igo). HTC sync and data transfer as well.

Regarding my usage, the last big issues are :

- Jack/Headset earspeaker not working

- System Time frequency too fast

- Battery lifetime of course

Other personnal feelings not necessarily reported on the forum, I found Speaker phone not to loud during conversation, even with volume at the max.

SO now I'm still waiting for official next release. Hopefully, battery usage will be improved, system time and Jack/headphone issues fixed..

Cheers! :D

Sure I am not launching it from windows I must do it from phone but then from what program if I use "File Explorer" when launching haret nothing happens.

I will be glad for some help clearance.

[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
it seems that you did not understand tutorial

4. run HARET_PHOTON7227.exe

(using windows explorer, at the root of your SD card)

http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/wiki/Android_Installation_Tutorial

Currently Android is installed by using a clean SD Card, and booted from there.It is booted by running a special application called 'Haret.exe' residing on your SD Card which will terminate the Windows kernel and boot into Android.
