MMS working for Sprint on this build?

RHOD400, Sprint, 3.1 kernel. Have APN set up just like FRX7.1 build which was working. New data image when first setting up GBX0B 2.3.7.

I can send a MMS to myself or someone else, but when I receive one I just get the download button and it never automatically downloads nor does it download when clicking the download button.

So I was just wondering if it is even supposed to be working in this build yet?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
MMS is flaky at best, mainly because Sprint so badly mangles it when it goes thru their servers.

It should still work just as FRX did, but who knows. If you can't get it working, that GoSMS thingy supposedly always works. Sometimes reboots fixes it, like I said MMS is flaky at best.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
I have the same issue, some just continually show downloading, some just tell me it can't be downloaded. Like Arrrghhh notes, it's more Sprint than anything. Just jump back to FRX if you need pics. How screwy is that, we can actually jump to the port for pics rather than have to go back to Winmo :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:
So, my power button is FUBAR. Is there any way to change the button scheme so sleep/wake is on the end key or some such? Assuming that that isn't what the default button mapping is (haven't installed this yet).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You can change it yourself, but you'll have to basically make your own rootfs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rotor nuts:
might be late to the party but about to try gbx0b on a spare sd card. here are my csvs using neodium rom with maxx_vol_audiopara3 installed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slickdaddy96:
GoSMS worked like a champ. Thanks for the suggestion. Guess the app counteracts whatever crap Sprint does to their messages. Hopefully I will like the app...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
rpierce99 also mentioned the mms fix for Sprint might not be in this build... which is entirely possible. So I'll look into that :D.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Not sure if this a build or kernel issue, but for whatever reason my gps doesn't want to lock. I left it outside (for a comparable amount of time that it took Froyo to lock) running gps status or w/e the app is called, and it never took. Any logs I should look at?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bryanwieg:
On my Rhodium 500 I have also found that the GPS does not lock. Let me know any logs you need and I will provide them.

Thank you!

EDIT: Also just to report that, while 95% percent of the time apps work fine (albiet slow) I do get, a fews times a day, freezing applications, such as the XDA app and the browser. Sometimes the only solution is to restart Andriod. This is one reason I am trying to overclock (slightly,I know it can cause system hangs too), to see if the problem is just that it is slow. I can report any logs you need.

EDIT2: overclocking to about 614 does give a nice boost...

EDIT: perhaps gps. Is ok. Or at least partly. Googla maps pulls my location, but the news app does not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sifting cinders:
On my rhod 400, I also found that to be an issue on .27. When I switched to 3.1 for testing audio, gps got a lock easily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Odd thing is, I'm on 3.1

I'll try some more tomorrow and see what happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SgtMac02:
I haven't tested GPS in this build, but I know that there was an issue in the other builds where the GPS would take an inordinately long time to lock if you didn't also have the wifi based location turned on. Somehow the two features helped compensate each other and the GPs worked way better with it on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Holy crap guys!

Let's clear something up. First, netloc is broken in this build (cell tower/wifi location) (need to get a new one out).

So that won't work. Flat-out.

Second, GPS works great guys! I even say this in the first post :rolleyes:.

Don't forget about QuickGPS in WinMo first tho. Without this, it takes forever to get a lock. With it... I get locks, within seconds usually, in my basement. No joke.

Also, AFAIK all kernels support GPS... but I could be wrong. I haven't verified every kernel GPS functionality personally.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slickdaddy96:
Any idea on when netloc for CDMA might be fixed in this build? To be honest I had no clue it even worked in FRX7.1 for CDMA, but going back through the board and IRC log, I see it finally was working, although I don't ever remember it working for me in FRX7.1 when I had it on when I used things like the Weather app or Google Maps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nickleby:
You can do what ryannathans says on this post if you really need the network location.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Do this if you're itching. Otherwise it'll be fixed in the next release. There's a few things I'm trying to bundle up, I don't want to do a new release daily... I have a few changes that I'd like to merge all at once, and it seems like I might not be able to depend on stine to build images for me anymore :(.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] josephbrien:
Hi,

I can't get to boot.

after starting Haret, I'm always stuck on

"init: cannot find '/system/bin/installd', disabling installd'

:/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] webxplore:
I had the same issue as in item 3 above. This is with a clean format and install of GBX0B. The first time after android boots I can preview ringtones and select ringtone of my choice. After then once GBX settles down, at some point I lose audio permanently. No sound on previewing ringtones or on incoming call. Reboot does not fixeither. Since no one else reported this, I tried reformatting/reinstalling few times and gave up. I never had this issue with any of the FRX builds or the GBX0A. I am on Sprint.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Is your card partitioned? Then put no_partitions in your startup.

Just like I told others in the OMGB thread, if you don't report problems and post logs, you will get left behind. The new acoustic code is not going away, so if you're having issues with it help us troubleshoot. The thread does say TESTING, that means you should post logs and report issues!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cmvc:
I great job arrrghhh!!!

i have one question, my BT, dont stay on is goes on, off, on, off...

i dont know if i do something wrong.:o

all the rest work's fine.

ps sory my inglish, i'm portuguese.

keep going with the great job...:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Make sure BT is disabled in WinMo before booting Android ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cmvc:
I'm doing that, and off inclusive, airplain mode in WM, but is the same...

sory...:(

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

Some strange, before i plug ib BT, the wifi work's, them when i try to on BT, it goes like on, off, on, off, them after i shut down the BT, the Wifi say's off, but ist's marked on, them i off, on and work's only wifi.

i know it's complicated to explain, sory again.

:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You're not making any sense.

Turn off BT in WinMo. Reboot WinMo. Now boot Android. Should be fine.

Note - Pandora still causes issues with BT AFAIK. There's probably other apps that do as well, but I don't think anyone's figured it out yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bryanwieg:
Hey,

I have a quci question I'm sure has been addressed somewhere before, I'm just compelled to ask...

It appears these builds work by placing and using a virtual ext3 partition on the sd card. Is that right? In my past experience with virtual partitions, there is always a performance hit.

Is it not possible to put a, say, a 1GB native ex3 partition on the card, and have eveything loaded there. If its just a matter of creating a ext3 partition on a sd card, I'm sure I can figure that part out...

But as I see, whatever bootloader it is or however it works, it would have to configured to read the local ext3 partition and not a img file.

Like I say, I'm sure this has been addressed before, I just had to ask..

Bryan
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
The rootfs is configured for dedicated partitions or loop mounts. By default, we use loop mounts because it's much easier than formatting the card and tar'ing data onto the partitions.

However, like I said the rootfs will support partitions, so if you want to setup your build in this manner feel free.

p1 - fat32

p2 - rootfs (small, some just make this a tiny unused partition)

p3 - system

p4 - data

I wouldn't do ext3, why put a journaled FS on an SD card? That's a bad idea. ext2 would be better IMHO... But I ran on a partitioned setup (few months ago, for a few weeks...) and found it was slower. YMMV.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bryanwieg:
Thanks for that info, I will probably give it a try. But I have to say, if you've already tried this I don't expect any earth shattering diffence, lol. What suprises me most is that not only did it not at least maintain the same level of performance, it was worse?

That is very suprising to me...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It's entirely possible I did something very dumb. Wouldn't be the first time...

It did work, but was decidedly slower. Other builds actually only use dedicated partitions, and some have said they move quite well. So it's entirely possible I did something silly when setting up or tar'ing to the partitions ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:
This is a damn good build, I'm impressed. My audio isn't working now, but I'm willing to bet my phone it's because I switched the rootfs to the F22 build with all the button tweaking. I'll try switching back and seeing what happens. Would the button cmdline commands in the startup txt still work?

EDIT:

Also: light sensor. Does it work? I didn't see anything about it in the first few posts. I set my brightness to auto, but if it doesn't work I'll just have to set it to some sensible mid-value.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Light sensor should work.

Please don't use F22's rootfs' at all anymore. You can snag the keyboard layout files, but the rootfs itself should not be used.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bryanwieg:
Hey again,

I've been working on this today, (I have time in between tasks...), and I need a break, and some pointers.

So far I have downloaded a Linux distro as a vmware appliance, and am using it to setup the partitions and all on the sdcard.

4 Partitions:

Part 1: FAT32 - named andriod - size 2GB

Part 2: EXT2 - named rootfs - size 17MB

Part 3: EXT2 - named system - size 300MB

Part4: EXT2 - named data - size 260 MB

I decided to keep the partitions close to the file size while I am learning this, I can make them larger later if I want.

I then used Ibuntu to copy the contents in the two img's and the ext to the appropriate partition. I then renamed the files to end with extention '.old' to ensure it does not boot from them. I did not do anything with the module*.tar.gz kernel file, zImage file, or Initrd.gz file. I disabled overclocking.

So after all this, I run haret and it freezes at about 2 second marker, I can't tell any particular command associated with the hang.

Any tips? Did I Botch something up? Any input is appreciated... I'm burnt out for a the moment working on it, and I need a break. I'm going to keep at it, I just thought I'd ask while I'm doing other things...

Also, I noticed in googling this procedure that HaRET (on other phones) has the ability to detect the presence of the partitions and prompt the user asking of they want to perform an "upgrade".. Well I noticed in a script in rootfs the code for this, the promt and to copy the contents of the img to the partitions.. Does it need to be tweaked to be enabled or to be fixed to work on our case?

Thanks,

Bryan
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Doing a partitioned build is not encouraged nor supported. You're on your own if you want dedicated partitions. It adds a lot of complexity, for pretty much no reward.

I'll throw you a bone tho - you'll need to tar or otherwise preserve permissions when putting stuff from the loop mounts to the partitions. Good luck.

Edit - It's also REALLY off-topic to testing this build. Please, no more partitioning posts!! I want to know about bugs to resolve, thanks guys!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:
Mmk. Just that I left my linux machine out of state, so reading that ext2 from win7 is gonna be a *****.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RBraverman:
Seem to missing auto install apps

Install went fine, but nothing I put in AndroidApps was installed. I installed the OS in /AndroidOS and pointed the startup.txt to it.

What did I miss?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:
Didn't work for me either, so I just ran the apk's.

Is there anything besides the keymaps folder in "init.etc" I'm supposed to replace in the rootfs?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] josephbrien:
The card is partitioned for use in froyob v2.

The style I used for installation of GBX0B is FRX07.1

or i need another card for the installation?

Thank You. :)

edit=

It Worked on the same card w/ partition using the Command line you gave.

Thanks :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RBraverman:
But, he asked innocently, how did you get to them? I don't have a file manager of any sort installed with the pack.

I did finally get DroidExplorer to work - actually worked well - and install Total Commander (as I own it...) and went from there.

This I do not know, but I used some resourcefulness and looked at mine and there are 3 other folders including wifi, and 8 files.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Really? I actually put the Astro APK in AndroidApps and it installed great for me! I did this so I could 'force' a file manager application on to everyone, and if they truly hated it, it's easily removed.

I know this works great for me, so there's gotta be something else wrong. You guys on .27?

I'm not sure why AndroidApps wouldn't work for you guys... Like I said I know it works great for me, and I know it works for others as well...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Would someone be willing to post the default gps.conf that ships with this build? I'd appreciated it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bryanwieg:
I have been experiencing freezing when trying to shut down. It happens weather I OC or not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
Are you using "Shut Down" or "Reboot".

Whenever I use Reboot, mine freezes up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bryanwieg:
Yeah, for me its:

Shutdown: retarts phone

Kexec: sometimes retarts andriod, rest freezes

Reboot: freezes

Also, when this happens I have to pull battery, and when I restart I get a lof of FC errors. If I reinstall the app things work better, but I have to reinstall them...

Also, almost always on fresh install there is a FC of an com.adriod app (or similar), but it doesn't occur with the next boot.

Also, it seems to me the battery meter isn't accuate.

And the time does not detect the time zone (is that supposed to be done manually?)

Lastly, my wifi quit. When I try to enable it stopped with 'error'. At least it doesn't crash.. I already tried re-copying that wifi-nvram.txt file in case it was that...

Is there a way to set the red 'end call' button to go to home screen? Otherwise (I'm new to andriod) all I can do is hit arrow to go 'back'. In some apps I have to 'back' 5 screens when I just want to go to home screen. So either the red button, or something else?

ALSO, while in call, hitting the red button does not hang up the call, it goes to home screen. -.-.. I know, irony.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
That wifi issue you're describing, are you using the stock kernel? Did you replace the kernel before booting the build for the first time? Are you using a fresh Data.img?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bryanwieg:
Ahh, it is the 3.1, but I don't remember how I installed it.

What is killer is it worked last night. The problem didn't start until the freeze and I pulled the battery. Several apps freaked out, and so did the WiFi.. I supose I'll have to do a full rebuild...

EDIT: I fixed the wifi by repairing a permissions issue.

Edit: It just wouldn't work. Several file permissions were messed up. I am trying resetting the user area.

EDIT: Since I reset that user area I can tell you the FC error on fresh install: com.andriod.phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:
Yeah, no dice on the keymap editing :(

Anybody else try switching the keys around?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
This is normal on first boot

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

For what purpose?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:
My power button doesn't work, so I'm trying to map the SEND key to home and the END key to on/off. Did it with F22's rootfs, but the audio wouldnt work, so I replaced the keymaps in this distro with the ones from the F22 rootfs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
What RHOD do you have?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Keep in mind guys, shut down and reboot has different effects on different kernels.

It should all work fine on .27.

On .35+, reboot will probably freeze and shut down will probably reboot.

Please, let's focus on userland bugs in this thread and kernel bugs in the kernel thread. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] wehweh:
RHOD 400.

Possible bug: The media scanner doesn't seem to be picking up any audio files. The "set as ringtone" from astro doesn't work either.

BT doesn't work on 3.1

Again, I can't stress this enough folks... If you're on .27, report pretty much anything here. If you're not on .27, you should probably report it in the kernel thread. Make sense? Basically if the bug is reproducible on .27, then report it here. If it's only on whatever kernel you're on, report it in the kernel thread.

Also might help to read the kernel thread. Detule says 3.0 is the only kernel with BT support.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bryanwieg:
Sorry about that... I am trying to keep up with what is 'userland' vs 'kernel'.. Honestly, I'm not sure what that means. I've only been using andriod for 3 or so days. xD 'Kernel' tells me devices and boot, thus, does 'userland' mean UI, applications, etc?

As for what is reproducible, I couldn't tell you, I don't run both. So I'll assume from here on to post in the other thread.

And sorry, I obviously forgot Detule's notes. I will make the appropriate report in the other thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
np, baby steps. Just follow my rule of thumb above - if it doesn't work in .27, report it here. If it works in .27 but doesn't work in some other kernel - good chance the report belongs in the other thread.

Really, the .35+ kernels are for testing only. They're in various states of functionality, so they're not for the feint of heart... In other words they change frequently, a lot to keep up with! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] fishingmedic:
Arrrghhh, is GBX0B using the latest RIL or is there some aspect of it missing? Have been having some funky issues with the phone within Airave range, outside of airave range, good and bad signal areas. Although unfortunately I've realized many of the issues long after logs could be pulled. Most of the time I'm in my vehicle so pulling logs that way won't work and when the phone freezes it's going to be too late to grab logs since I have to reboot. I've also been finding that when a call is missed/sent to VM the next time someone tries to call it goes right to VM. I can try to use getlogs next time, or do you have any recommendations?

Hi, what's the correct behaviour when you play a local video on Android? I mean, on FroYo if I play a .mp4 video from my SDCard the video by default starts in landscape mode...But on Gingerbread, the video starts on portrait mode and there's no way to change it into landscape unless you have activated the rotating screen :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Bleh. I hate low service areas. Truth be told, hyc build the RIL without any CDMA device in front of him. There still might be some outlying issues with it.

However, we are on the newest RIL code that is available, as far as I know. I've been building from source, as does stine - and I'm pretty sure the RIL code on git is the newest.

As for suggestions, you know more than anyone this is far from easy to triage and properly capture in logs. Good luck...

Rotate the phone, what's the problem? Assuming you have that enabled :rolleyes:. If you don't have it enabled, you've created your own bug :p.

My B/T piece connects and within a short time, it disconnects (stays paired), and it will not re-connect.

It seems that the phone stays connect to my Netbook, but not the earpiece.

BT is off in WinMo? I would turn airplane mode on in WinMo, reboot WinMo then boot Android.

Pandora and probably other apps have been known to cause issues with BT. BT in general probably still has some bugs to work out as well. What kernel are you testing on, .27?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RBraverman:
2.6.27.

I'm painfully aware of Pandora's problem - took me 2 weeks to figure that out months ago.

I understand .30 is strong on BT support, but ...

I'm just confused as to why it drops off, and then won't connect after the first time.

Please provide logs. Otherwise, I'll do a stable release thinking everything is fine, when clearly it is not.

This is the point of testing folks! We need to hash all of these out. I am thinking your issue is user-error, but perhaps not - hence the reason for testing!

Recreate the issue, use GetLogs and capture all three. Post 'em here. Thanks!
