thanks for report, but can you be more precise?

is it 2 minutes shift, one hour, etc? how can we reproduce the problem? (i dont see this problem using release r127)

this is the android notifier led :-D

when you receive sms, mail with gmail, missed call etc

to clear you must clear notification bar

WIFI

Thank all for the works!!!!!!

WIFI don´t works for me with the last update.:confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] Wowser:
Delete data.ext2 file for working wi-fi in the r127 build

It was not made clear in the first post but if you are upgrading from a previous build, delete data.ext2 from the SDcard root directory then extract & overwrite all the other files in the SDcard root directory that are also contained in the latest build (ie. zImage, initrd.gz, system.ext2, STARTUP.TXT, HARET_PHOTON7227.exe and the update directory). When you delete data.ext2, all your preloaded applications and settings will be reset to the "factory default" but at least your wi-fi should then work... as according to the developers, the wi-fi module was updated (which is contained in the data.ext2 file).
[HD Mini Android Development] Ciccius:
with the latest release (r127):

- after 10 minutes it shifted about 1 and half hours.

- wifi seems to be quite unstable, but it can be only my impression. today i'll test it better

- the device freezed every time I started android (3 times), always when it was in stand-by mode

thanks to all devs !! :)
[HD Mini Android Development] swissly:
I am having the same problem but only if "get time from network" is enabled... :o

Is there any known to work backup solution which will extract all userdata and settings so you can delete data.ext2 and reload the data afterwords?

Thanks to all for the great work! :)

I have deleted all the old files and copy the new ones, but WiFi doesn't works. When I activate it, I have an error.

With the previous version all works fine.

Is there anything that I can check?

Thanks, Alex

+1 for battery high drain.

No problem with wifi

No problem with clock, it has woked fin from last night 09:00 PM untill 08:00 AM (while charging) and from 08:00 AM to 10:30 AM when I ran out of battery :p
[HD Mini Android Development] TomRiha:
Thanks to all developers who are involved in this project!!! This release works perfect. First boot lasted about 4 minutes and second boot about 30 seconds. (I'm using A-DATA 4GB Class 6)

3G/EDGE/GPRS: Working

Battery Gauge: Working

Camera: Not Working (I can't save a photo.)

Charging: Working (Seems to working but I haven't tried charging from 0% to 100%. If I compare values in WinMo and values in Android there's only a few % difference.)

GPS: Working (Seems to working but signal should be stronger.)

Power Button: Working

Screen: Working (When moving in vertical direction it seems that bottom part of the screen reacts slower than upper part of screen. It's probably screen calibration issue.)

Time: Working (Time wasn't shifted after 2 hours of using Android. Time is synchronized through 3G. Without synchronization there are big differences.)

There are no problems in WinMo after using Android. Only time is sometimes shifted after using android. And after first boot was date shifted too.
[HD Mini Android Development] asorcinelli:
for wifi issue, it should work if you use both zImage + system.ext2 from r127 release.

the issue usually is, if kernel is compiled with another computer than wifi module, it cannot be loaded.

so if you have enough knowledge, you can update your own system with adb (adb push bcmxxx.ko etc) but it's a bit complicated

I'm a stupid... I forgot to copy the update directory....

Now all works fine! Thanks a lot.

i have the same problem, even when my phone is stand by! and the phone is very hot.:confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] garmin2:
I don´t update old version, and wifi don´t work for me. I format Sd before run new version, and of course I use Zimage, system.ext2 etc etc of the new build and wifi don´t works. What´s can I do?:confused:
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
did you copied the folder named "update" in root of your sdcard?

copy it, and launch android. it will update modules and delete automatically on next run.

.
[HD Mini Android Development] Wowser:
The Update directory is vital for first installation!

Did you:

(1) directly extract the files zImage, initrd.gz, system.ext2, STARTUP.TXT, and HARET_PHOTON7227.exe to the main SDCard\ (ie. root directory); and

(2) put the update directory as SDCard\Update
[HD Mini Android Development] fernando2610:
Hi, i install the new realese, before i format my sd card, and the first time everythings its good (without simcard), but the second boot never pass "haret: booting linux" any help please!
[HD Mini Android Development] 7ftnick:
Hi.

Thanx to all the dev`s for this daring project.

Did test out the latest build.

.Some apps crash and hang up (possibly caused by insufficient hardware resources) Like Youtube, angry birds (e.g. when youtube crashes whole device needs to be restarted.

.The headphone trick does work for the player, but not for the radio (radio tunes in finds the station but no sound coming from the headphone speakers)

.Time seems to be running okay, didn`t notice any dramatic time shifts.

.GPS found my location in about 5 to 7 seconds (Using Co-Pilot)

.3g working great.

.Wi-Fi finds an access point but couldn`t check cuz I don`t know the password.

.Battery drain is fast but not when the phone is in standby (about 14% drain overnight in standby). Got about 3 hours of usage (music, internet browsing + angry birds) non stop before the battery alarm sounded. (Didn`t check on WinMo, maybe it is actually normal for that device. Gona check tomorrow and see how many hrs WinMo will hold)

Thats about it (+all the issues on the code.ggl website)

Thanx again for a wonderful rom/addon/mod.

Turn sound off/on into radio and it will work.

Don't install poweramp player, otherwise would not sound anywhere for unknown reason.

I don't know why, but my device freeze if stay in stand by for a while. I have to remove the battery.

It happen only to me?
[HD Mini Android Development] belannaer:
It happens to me to since I installed the dual boot and the light and prox sensor fix. Im not sure if it is related. Do you have installed any of them?

Update: After a few restarts it do not happen again :)
[HD Mini Android Development] doublej4473:
Hi folks,

regarding the battery drain, I don't know why, but my device stayed all day long in standby mode and the battery indicator tonight show full battery.:D

Yesterday it took only few hours, even in standy by, to dain out the battery
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
+1 lol,just wanted to say the same

high drain was only for first time,then got better by itself
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
alarm clock is not working for me, can not set the clock,
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
did you installed the light sensor patch?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
yes,via update folder though
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
because sensor patch is activating sensors only when needed.

it could be the reason why battery drain is lower.
[HD Mini Android Development] petpeggi:
Testing

First of all, thanks for your great effort of all developers. The programme is really great!

After installed the programmed for 2 days,

- camera: freezed after taking a photo and the photo cannot found in the ablum

- wifi: ok

- 3G: ok

- clock: the time will move forward quickly after connected USB; even I sync the clock with the network, time is not correct.

- alarm: not work; After installed this programme, even I used the alarm in Window OS, it's not functional.

- battery drain: The major problem. If the 3G or wifi is opened, the battery will drain out quickly. From 100% to 60% within 2 hours. However, if I turn 3G off, the battery did not drop much after 5 hours. Only from 100% to 90%.

[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
alarm can be set but with a alarm app. alarm goes but it won't work because the time is not correct.
[HD Mini Android Development] Ciccius:
may be it's not freezed but simply don't turns on the display.

indeed i noticed this new behaviour:

while in standby, i press the wake on button and only the keypad backlight turns on (the display stay turned off). press the wake button and the keypad backlight turns off.

there is no way to turn on it again, I must remove the battery

Thank you! excellent news, thanks a lot! report follows

edit

first impressions

G-sensor-works, when i turn my phone sideways, it go to landscape mode.

lightsensor - work to low and high values (at night, strong light source is necessary to deactivate the keypad backlight)

proximitysensor - works perfect

time-switch - just perfect

Internet-via 3G/GPRS - quick, quick, I like how it works

touchscreen - so far is great

keypad-backlight - works as it should. (perhaps would not be bad, if it were a bit dim)

I will continue tomorrow ... thanks for the excellent work

remarks on G-sensor

G-sensor is working in standard programs. However two remarks:

1) I find it a bit slow reacting

2) when I turn the device up-side-down in portrait mode, it shows the screen in landcape.
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
1) I find it a bit slow reacting

you need to calibrate it, it will be faster.

you can check with Elixir: when not calibrated, the max values you got are 3,5m/s

when calibrated, it gives you 9,5 or 10,5m/s, those are the normal values.

the only issue is, when you calibrate g-sensor, after a reboot the calibration is gone and you have to do it again. it needs to be fixed :)

2) when I turn the device up-side-down in portrait mode, it shows the screen in landcape.

this is normal android feature, screen wont display upside down
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
By the way, warning guys:

it seems we have a regression on battery driver. (for devs: i think it is due to r132)

if you have a low batt, and suddenly you see 100% displayed, you should go to winmo (or switch off) and charge.

also if charge is not working well (as i saw in previous msg, delays and led blink), better boot winmo (or switch off) to start charging.

to be fixed in next release :)
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
Great work! Looking fantastic so far.

The only problem I have with it is the responsiveness of the operating system. When launching some apps or windows, it'll freeze for around 30 seconds until coming back to life. For example, if I scroll to the left to the 'mail' section, the phone will freeze completely while loading this. Sometimes worse than others.

While it's freezing however, I've noticed that the icons in the notification bar are still animating. The freezing bug seems to only happen the first time you launch items.

Okay, now it's got to the point where the language selection screen at the start freezes, closes, and I'm faced with a blank screen and can't even continue to set up my phone!!!

I've got a 4GB TDK Class 4 Micro SDHC card. Any ideas?
[HD Mini Android Development] ripstar:
The charging is completly dont work while android is using
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
Actually after 10 minutes of running it, it seems to be okay. The only thing that freezes is the lockscreen?

[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
As said above, everything works a charm exept charging the battery. If that's fixed then you're onto a winner!!

Regarding my freezing problem earlier, this only seemed to happen when starting Android for the first 10 minutes. After this it starts to get more stable.

[HD Mini Android Development] B4tou:
Hi,

I'm one of the silent readers so far :)

First of all i want to thank the developers for the great work!

I tryed the latest Build today. Even my Phone is getting very warm at the rear Bottom and i noticed that the LEDs of the Softbuttons are on 100% every time the Phone is not in direkt Light. Probably that causes the heating up.

Under Win Mob the Lights are never so bright, even if i am in a dark room.
[HD Mini Android Development] netsrac101:
Here is my test result:

G-Sensor: working, but not in every application

Light Sensor: Working (not yet tested in sunlight), a bit brighter than WinMo. Is there any dimming down after ca. 30 seconds of non-use?

Proximity Sensor: Working

Keypad backlight: working, but very power consuming! WinMo uses half of the brighteness.

Touchscreen/alignment: ok. Since this release scrolling is

a bit

fast... but ok.

Realigned HANG UP Button: working too good - cannot be used to hang up a call anymore.

Battery Charging: Not Working

+ other known issues (camera, data transfer,...)
[HD Mini Android Development] 15MA1L:
Last 24 h with r134a + +

With a few games that I tried, G sensor was not functioning. Other sensors are ok, switch time is okay, Internet is ok, touchscreen is ok, keypad backlight is ok.

I must also say, pre-beta-test release is fast and stable, no overheating on my phone, no freeze and no errors experience, battery charging is already known so I will not mention.
[HD Mini Android Development] kiretocin:

Additionally, I cannot use bluetooth for talking.

[HD Mini Android Development] konnichiwa:
Fristly, thanks so much to deverlopers. But I can not charge battery with v134 also. Light of kp so high.
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
Hopefully it should just be a quick fix. Implementing the battery from 127 into 134. Would have a fantastic phone for everyday use :)
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
The fact that the battery is drained so fast still prevents us from "everyday use" ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
I was under the impression that it was alright in 127? Or was it just the charging capabilities that were fixed in 127? Didn't realise :(

Just a quick note, I've taken my phone off charge and started Android around 2 hours ago, and it's still got 90% battery. I've hardly been using it mind, so it looks like the power consumption when the phone is in standby is alright.

[HD Mini Android Development] audio84:
Just a few updates that may help:

The battery in standby mode is fantastic. I've had it on all day, checking my mail and texts now and again and it's now down to 60% since 8am. So that's 9 and a half hours from 100% to 60% with little usage. Not perfect, but it's not bad!

I thought the system time was okay, but it isn't. It's already known that when you plug the USB in, it'll speed up hugely causing it to skip a few hours. BUT when you unplug it, it seems okay at first, but over about 9 hours without plugging it in it's become about 10 minutes fast. Keep an eye on that one!

Hope it helps. Apart from that all seems good :)
[HD Mini Android Development] Gipsy_Mickey:
1. G-sensor works perfectly, but it seems too smooth for me.

2. When I turn off mobile internet i loose gsm connection/

3. battery charging is still actual (the battery becomes very hot).

4. Time is still goes crazy

5. Led buttons have only 2 modes (off/on), in winmo it also has a dim mode.
