GPS satellites are never on the same spot. Always on the run around the earth. Getting the GPS fix is totally random.

IIRC our android does not use aGPS to speed up the lock. "GPS Status" does download GPS data, but I'm unsure if it is used ?

Sometimes Google Maps get the position very fast. Any chance it can use some tricks with towers positioning to speed up GPS position lock ?

Anyway, it's probably random luck...

Today i got GPS position fix in 20 sec. This was from starting Google Maps as the first thing after boot into Android.

I never use WM to get GPS fix. Never!

This is awful behavior, and I'm sure you can - killall zygote if you can manage to type anything in a terminal (thru adb is probably your only hope).

I don't use Exchange (my work uses Groupwise and only allows BB's to connect...) so I only use GMail. Works great :p.

I guess the stock dialer never really bothered me. I don't make that many phone calls, and with Google Voice I quite often don't even dial on my phone anymore ;).[/QUOTE]

Ya this thing is definitely a battery burner. That said, our devices are up to two years old now and before I switched I could already tell my battery just can't hold a charge like it used to.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] StitchRokcs:
Thanks guys for the tips, yeah I figured the battery was just getting old (it only needs to hold out for 4 more months!!), I did disable the GPS just now lets see if that helps any.

EDIT: Wow the light actually went green without me having to do a fresh restart. Maybe this GPS thing really worked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
lol, the GPS bug is no lie.

One of the developers (emwe) fixed that bug in GB, hoping he can port it back to FroYo...

Although with that bug (along with GPS in general) fixed in GB, that'll be a very usable build. Can't wait for that release :D.

Does HTC G1 have almost the same hardware specs as the HTC touch pro2? I believe TP2 has even more memory than the G1, but how come my friends G1 works faster and smoother than my HTC touch pro2, even if I already OC it. Any thoughts? Thanks.

We're running hacks-in-progress off an sd card, they're running finished professionally tailored wares, possibly with some proprietary drivers off nand. Even if they run mods, it's easier to hack from a finished android product than it is to hack away from winmo.

Pretty much what fortunz said. I wouldn't ever expect our devices to be on-par with native ones, but perhaps one day.

BT looping on and off

After turning on BT on my phone it loops on and off. It comes on, scans and detect devices, turns off, and then turns itself on and starts over. I tried reading through all 51 pages of this thread (and searching elsewhere) but I have not found a resolution to this issue. Every one that I see posting about this issue seems to have resolved it by making sure BT is off in Windows before loading Android. I have turned on Airplane mode in Windows and rebooted into Windows before trying to load Android but I still have the issue. I am sure I am likely just doing something wrong ... any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have attached my logs in case it helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Everyone that has had this issue has resolved it by having BT off.

You said you were in airplane mode in WinMo, did a soft reset, boot back to WinMo (still in airplane mode) and then boot Android and you still have issues with BT?

I don't know how concerned you should be with BT at this stage, it's not really useful for headsets yet.

Edit - did you have Pandora running? I've heard that wreaks havoc on BT for some reason..

Seems you were -

I/ActivityManager( 1344): Start proc com.pandora.android for broadcast com.pandora.android/.api.bluetooth.AutoStartReceiver: pid=2097 uid=10057 gids={3003, 3002, 3001}
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] paulsperch:
I should have caught that .... I remember reading that Pandora and BT don't get along. After uninstalling it BT worked! If I had tried a fresh build with no apps installed I would have caught it through simple troubleshooting. Sorry for wasting your time. I'll try to do more thorough troubleshooting next time. Thanks for you help.

Not concerned, just excited. I was/am considering trying jb's code to see what happens (yes I am a glutten for punishment). Sadly it sounds like fun to me. I don't remember where I saw it but I think I remember reading in the last week or so that the the changes needed to be compiled into the latest kernel as well as adding the audio libraries to the userland. Too much to learn and fun to be had but so little time :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mgross029:
I posted this a few pages back to get the in-call routing working for BT... I'm trying the new test Kernel arrrghhh through out in the forum to see if that changes anything... I think things are getting close to a fully functional BT though... :D

Hi Arrrghhh

So do I make 2 x FAT32 partitions ? And if so, what size should I make the root one ? And do I need to do anything in particular in relation to having data on it's own separate partition ? Is there another posting covering this ?

C
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It's not a supported configuration on XDAndroid. You can by all means do it, the rootfs will work with dedicated partitions (ironically Neopeek chose a different partition layout...) but there's no official support for it if you will.

It would be 1 FAT32 and 3 ext2 partitions. By different layout I mean:

p1 - FAT32

p2 - ext2 (rootfs, not required)

p3 - ext2 (system, at least 120mb)

p4 - ext2 (data, at least 256mb to match default...)

Neopeek's CWM uses a cache partition for p4...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mgross029:
I've been using Droid Explorer to copy files to and from my SD Card while in XDAndroid. Works really well and saves from having to make partitions.

i will now apply the wifi nv trick to see if i can get wifi working, but I'm happy that i don't have to do any adding to the bluetoth as it is working perfect

Hmm go to the root of your files... then to Data. Their you can find a file called wifi-nvram.txt

Open that file as text... on the first commandline with me it said ___fid (___ as in space). but it had to be manfid....

So i deleted the space and replaced it for manfid

That worked for me

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
One of two things is wrong.

1) You don't have a rootfs.img where you run HaRET.exe from.

2) You put everything in a folder, but didn't adjust rel_path= in your startup.txt. The default startups assume everything is extracted to the root of the SD card - haret, zImage, rootfs, etc not in a folder. If you want them in a folder, say FRX07, then rel_path=FRX07. This is in the first post...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 800xl:
I haven't seen much mention good/bad about camera behavior for a while now. My camera app has basically become an icon for a quick full rebot to winmo. It began when I was still using FRX06 and has continued with FRX07. More than one SD card, multiple SD card formats with HP tool and others, different kernels and rootfs tried, and still the same. It was working great for a while after some of the camera fixes were in place, then it got iffy (1/2 the time camera rebooted the phone) and then it seemed to get worse just before frx07 landed and I was trying the new RIL bits and f22's rootfs. I have not found a rootfs and kernel version that seems to make the camera happy since. Winmo and camera work fine.

So is this a known issue, something specific to me, or a kernel bug that needs some feedback to fix? I have a few more ideas to try, but I'm mostly just wondering if there a known issue and I should stop chasing it. If logs would help I can provide.

Other than the camera problem, frx07 has been great, many thanks to the devs. Bluetooth is nearly working for me, I haven't tried wifl, but the rest is looking good!

WIFI?

Hello

I'm new to the board and, by the way, Android too. So i hope you will be patient with me ... ;)

I'm used to WM 6.5, but I discovered Android with the latest build of FROYO. They really did a great job here... I had no issues with the first bundle of arrrghhh - mainpage -, but, trying the second bundle (stinebd's), I had to reboot my RHOD100 after one hour installation process. I tried this second one several times, but the installation time seemed running to long for me... So I went back to the working one (first one given by arrrghhh) ... installation length : 5 minutes !

Meanwhile the system is very stable, thx again to the developper, I'm having some issues getting WIFI working. I tried several roofts (last three of them) and the kernel 20110718. No one of these solved my problem and made WIFI working on my RHOD100.

I also tried the wifi-nvram.txt approach. As the dev tools which can be found on the latest FROYO build doesn't have the Terminal Emulator application, I employed ConnectBot. Strange thing happened here... after having written down the needed cmd lines, I received the message "File already exists" without the option to replace it by the newer file in which I put the right MAC address.

So actually I'm still stucked with the message "Unable to scan for network" when I'm triyng to activate WIFI.

May I ask for some help? Don't know what I have to do to make WIFI working on my andronized phone :p

Battery killer

After about a week and a half of running this on my phone, I have now found out what eats up my battery like a fat man at a buffet - web browsing.

I went an entire day without firing up any browser. My battery started at 98% in the morning, and 12 hours later was at 45% or so. The minute I fire up a browser (I've tried stock, Opera, Opera Mini, Dolphin Mini), the battery starts discharging at as astonishing pace. 10 minutes of browsing leads to more than 20% in battery drop.

So I'm not sure what's contributing to this. Having the backlight on for 10 minutes? Brightness level? Data being constantly cached to the card? Something else?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
HQ vid's don't really work. There's some libs that help (that for some reason missed FRX07...), but it's still not on-par with what WinMo is capable of...

I thought it worked... I have the service, but never tried the app... I'll try it today hopefully.

The battery meter is very off basically. When the phone is used (really at all), the battery plummets. Try making a long phone call - the battery will probably climb after the call is over. Same with web browsing, etc.

Is it WEP? Have you read the FAQ?

I would just try replacing the file. If you SU you should be able to cp over it. If not, I guess rm the old one? BTW, stinebd's stuff is the same as mine - I'm simply bundling (packaging) up his stuff.

It says connected but you can't use it? Can you ping in the terminal? See if you can ping an IP, 8.8.8.8. Perhaps it's a DNS issue.

Camera works freaking amazing for me in 07. I snapped a ton of pics of an accident I got into the other day, I was amazed at how quickly it snaps the pics.

Are you using any aftermarket apps? Have you tried on a fresh install (new data.img)? I'm not sure why it wouldn't work well on a RHOD300, RHOD100 folk are the only ones that I know have issues with the cam... You don't have a RHOD100 do you?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
wifi-ace should only be used if your AP is using WEP. In which case, I would highly recommend that you change it. WEP is extremely insecure, and should never be used under any circumstances - if you can avoid it at any cost. If you're the admin of the router, or know the admin - tell them to change it to WPA2!!

If you must use WEP against all efforts to get rid of it, then wifi-ace will help you get WEP working.

beta music 3.0.1.339

I'm able to use and have been using Beta Music Player for months now. Your gmail account you connected to your phone has to be the one Activated to use music beta. You may have to restart/delete cache or whatnot, play around with it a bit to get it to recognize you have access to online. Now i just use Titanium Backup to restore app and haven't ever had a problem but I do remember that at first it wouldn't show anything for online sync till i played with it some (no idea what i did back then but I know it wasn't anything complicated or hard)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:
yeah, i did that a few hours back, works without a hitch now. i had to un/re-install because i noticed the music wasn't in the background sync for whatever reason.

Well, cam works great on my RHOD100 as long as is runs alone. Having IM running sometimes is enough to break the cam.

I have some messy logs from the cam. Typically it hijacks BACK and MENU buttons. I can switch to other apps, but not use BACK to terminate the cam. Everything is landscape, since cam has that locked too.

I did manage to run GetLogs though.

All the fun ended in a panic

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elektrik2001:
hmm.....

Admittedly a noob when it comes to xdandroid here, so be gentle =]

I've installed the latest FRX07 on my Sprint (CDMA w/sim card removed) TP2 and using the latest zImage (zImage_20110718_223029), latest Rootfs (rootfs-20110727-358bc80) and don't seem to be having nearly the same experience as everyone here. my android takes 3 reboots to come up correctly, and when it does, it randomly reboots, etc.

Here's my startup.txt. I was hoping someone might be able to provide some insight as to what I might be doing wrong here.

Thanks!

Startup.txt:

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Where the hell did you get that startup.txt from? Certainly not the startups folder. Don't mix startup.txt's from other builds please!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 800xl:
I've tried it with a fresh everything, just formatted SD, unpack FRX07, copy startup.txt from the startups folder, run haret. I had wondered if it was updates being automatically pulled down of Google maps and gmail for a while, but even fresh booting new data.img without running marketplace the camera still rebooted the phone.

It is obviously a Tilt2, AT&T logo and all, but just to make sure I wasn't crazy I pulled the battery and confirmed RHOD300 is printed underneath.

Since I still bounce back and forth from winmo to android I tried deleting the DCIM folder completely and running camera still resulted in a reboot. I am going to pull out an older 2 gig card I have not used recently and see how it behaves. The last card I was using that worked was an 8gig sandisk class 2, and I'm running from a cheaper transcend 8gig class 6 now because the sandisk card died. Everything else works fine, but I'm just not 100% that I've been a good user and eliminated my SD card(s) as the culprit.

Thanks for the confirmations that it SHOULD work fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Heh, frustrating when it doesn't work when it should...

Try a different SD for sure. Reason I didn't harp on you for that (or formatting) is you originally said "More than one SD card, multiple SD card formats with HP tool and others"...

Certainly worth a shot... several other RHOD300 users don't have any cam issues, so there's gotta be something else going on!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] MACHEK:
Hmm thats weird, I have audio & video, and photos all without any problem. Maybe cause I have a Rhod500? I haven't changed anything either, just FRX07 out of the box.

EDIT: Oops, I guess its just that RHOD that has the issue. Sorry for the post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 800xl:
I did try 3 different cards before, fresh formats, but with the amount of things I've tried I wasn't 100% sure I remembered correctly. Better to return to basics and be sure than even a 99% guess.

The good old reliable 2 gig card did NOT help. Next is a clean new download and unzip of FRX07 to the root the card. I'll format fresh, and see how it does after the phone settles and before any changes. Again, repeating earlier troubleshooting but just to be 100% sure its squeaky clean.

I'm not running anything exotic in winmo that I can think of, no overclocking, EnergyROM, a few apps, no overclocking. Cam in winmo works fine. In android it pauses for about 3 seconds, dark screen, and next thing I see is the white AT&T boot screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You've done a great job at triaging... I'm really at a loss as to what could be the cause. You've ruled out old outdated stuff, potentially bad hardware, etc...

Now I guess it's possible (albiet highly unlikely) that you have a different panel/camera sensor. That's why some RHOD100 folk have had issues - most of their phones have a different panel type (AUO instead of EID) and this has wreaked havoc on many things, including cam support. If you can't sort it out with troubleshooting, we'll have to peer at logs. See if we can get logs up until the reboot, and if not look at last_kmsg logs from dropbox... More on that if needed. IRC chat would probably be the best place to hash that all out if it does get to that point ;).

Ok, First off, please lose the attitude-it's counterproductive to those interested in posting. Secondly, the startup.txt I posted is the exact same one I pulled from the 'startups' folder in "FRX07_Full_Bundle_20110715".

Here's the 'original' below:

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2292

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=2,1,3 force_cdma=1 pm.sleep_mode=1 physkeyboard=rhod400"

The only difference is that I referenced a newer zImage (zImage_20110718_223029).....
