How do I upgrade to 3.40.5? I've downloaded a radio upgrade utility and a NHB rom image, but at about 8% or so the RUU tells me that I can't update because the phone is incompatible.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
latest power collapse

Here are my findings over the last 13 hours or so.

When the device is charging, the screen now stays on like it should (mine would shut off before, even when plugged in... dunno if anyone else had that.) This did allow for the alarm to go off this morning, but I don't know if it would've worked if I had manually turned the screen off, or if the device weren't plugged in.

With this comes a bit of an issue. When you boot up Android and the phone is not plugged in, Android still reports as "charging" which causes the screen to stay on. So far, the only way I've noticed to get Android to realize the phone is *not* charging, is to plug it in then unplug it. I suppose Linux recognizes the "unplug" action and therefore realizes it is not plugged in, but when the phone boots, it can't detect whether a cable is plugged in or not.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Running the WM6.1 upgrade did it for me. Actually, it brought mine to 3.41.00.

Maybe someone has a different way of doing it. I wouldn't mind getting 3.42.50 so I'm on the same version as Martin.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] kevkranker:
Here are some instructions on the 3.42.50 radio it's part of Bell rom update. Flash at you own risk. If you haven't flashed your phone before please read up on it before trying.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Oy, that sounds like a lotta work, and somewhat dangerous. Since I haven't had a problem yet, and I have Rev.A/WM6.1/GPS enabled, I'll stick with what I've got. If the radio version becomes a real issue for me, then I will take another look at that. Thanks though!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Praiz2ELoHiM:
yeah, that's what i thought... my keyboard pulsates on touch
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Praiz2ELoHiM:
It's actually not that bad. I quoted, below, a post i posted earlier with a link to jim's instructions on it...

It's really no different from reflashing. You've already done it once, so i don't see why it's any more "dangerous". Basically, if you're not Bell or Sprint and using one of those roms to flash your radio. Just don't run the customizations on boot, you can soft reset it before it happens to be safe.

And as for authentication. You will only need to re-auth if you flashed the phone while that ESN is registered to your account. If you have a spare phone, you can simply switch to that (if they let you do it online, simple... they do for verizon), and re-register your ESN once you're done flashing. Which will in turn re-auth your phone automatically, without having to talk to customer support. Cause CSRs are annoying...

power and data

With the latest kernel version, I am not getting power collapse(sprint touch) I did however notice that when installing the lasted package on my card, after it extracted the images, it paused and was able to get a ppp data connection with out one connected. I have not however been able to reproduce this. I am wondering if the ppp takes longer than the kernel normally boots in, and thus is not given enough time to complete. Also dose anyone have the new dialer? I uploaded the 10-30 stuff and still have the same dialer.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fredcatsmommy:
is anyone having problems with their touch screen once android boots? On the versions since Android went open source, it boots fine (something about it can't open tty, but the print is too small), but once I unlock the screen, it doesn't matter what I touch on the screen, no response. This wasn't the case with prior versions; I could use the browser, call out, etc. I've tried the newer versions both on the device and with the files on the sd card (with the data and system files in the root), but nothing changes the screen from being non-responsive. Also tried disabling gps; no go with that either. Any ideas??
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Ideal2545:
Does anyone know, do you need to modify the default.txt file at all in the last build 10/30? Im still getting the green led when i try and turn off the screen. My radio is updated, not really sure whats going on, i have not modified the default.txt at all.

thanks,

Jon
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jakub_w:
success!

after moving the appropriate files (all other than system and data) to root of device, SD card is detected in music! songs play!

works flawlessly now (aside from the graphics but thats fine) after doing dev tools > media scanner (scan took like 5 secs)

camera still says no sd card, and pictures still say no pictures found

btw its a sandisk 2gb sd

but at least the music is working now! :D

this is with 29-10-08 version
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Lol, not to rain on your parade, but welcome to last month.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jakub_w:
lol no probs! im glad i got it working......finally!

i just never thought to try it the way its supposed to be run, since mostly everything worked from the sdcard.

oh well! :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Ideal2545:
Just incase anyone is also having this problem, i had to add a line to the latest release to make mine work.

Is a Market-Place like App that allows you to download apps straight into android, from android, works great! I hosted the file because i was having trouble getting to the site earlier.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Kind of a big deal (i think)

Alright, so we have a great kernel running so far (thanks dzo, we couldn't do this without you) but I've really been wanting to get away from our sdk build and working with the actual source.

So, I built the Android source, put the system/data images together, and loaded them up onto my phone. Android booted fine and dandy like sour candy. Of course, our system.img (and maybe data.img? i dunno) have been altered and customized for the Vogue, so there is stuff that doesn't work, most notably the keymappings, but I just got home from work and will try to bring the keymappings from Martin's build over and see how well it works.

The other thing I've noticed not working is the radio. Obviously that's a big one, and I'm sure most of you are gonna say "no thanks, I'll stick with what we've got." That's fine, but we can get the radio and keyboard working, so for those of us who really want to move this forward I think using the source is the way to go.

What do you all think?

Also, I should mention that when I started the Browser app, it gave a message about checking login credentials (i'm assuming this is the Google Login Service) that has never shown up for me in the build we're currently using. Hopefully this means that things like Calendar sync will work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] corpashe:
damn the delio for market apps is great... we nned to get the actual market up though lmao.. nice find
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d3mon187:
Hey, I noticed in the latest build that the ringtones are being played through the handset speaker instead of the speaker phone so you can't really hear them. Also, this isnt really an issue, but it seems that when I put the phone into sleep mode it takes a little while longer to transition from yellow to red?

Great work as always though, and it's great to see that the Android-Vogue team seems to be getting stronger. Hopefully you guys can work out a system so that everyone's updates can be included in the same releases. It seems right now we are getting some problems with one person updating something, then having to get in contact with Martin to figure out a way to integrate it in the next build.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Yeah, I think we need our own git. I would host it, but my internet is sketchy, and router is even sketchier, plus I'm currently hosting a website, so I don't think I can really handle it..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d3mon187:
Market app works great and seems like a good temporary substitute till we get the real thing. I've already added a few of the interesting ones and they all work fantastically. One thing I noticed though is that a lot of games seem to ask for you to push up to start, and with our current layout you have to push down instead? Pretty weird?

Also, I want to say the contact sync with funambol that someone posted is great. It may not be perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than trying to add all your contacts in everytime there's an update
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d3mon187:
I have two website servers that see about 5 people a month in traffic, so I would be willing to host it if Martin didn't want to or couldn't on his current site host. www.CurbStuff.com would be the one I'd put it on, and I'm guessing I could have it running in the background without it affecting the site at all? If so, just let me know if you want it and how to do it and I will.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
I agree with both you guys on these things, and that as we have stated previously just doing all this in one thread is getting a little inefficient to say the least.

but I say, why not use etiger's http://www.myhtcphone.com/ for all this? We could simply add in a forum system just for this, and he already has just about everything else set up (although of course I'm sure he would be willing to add different capabilities/functions).

What do you think of that?

etiger?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
everyone who is interested in developing, im me on aim at emonge13. i am going to need some help. the new site is almost ready and i want to add a SVN repository back to the site
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
oy, you americans and your AIM. that means i have to sign up... can't we msn instead? *sigh* i guess i could sign up... after i eat some delicious dinner.

d3mon187: it could be a fair amount of traffic at first. the source code is like 1.8GB or something huge, so if there are a fair number of developers downloading (at first anyway) there will be a lot of traffic. If you're on residential DSL for instance, I wouldn't recommend it. etiger's site is probably a better idea.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
i have msn too but i get so many spam messages on that. emonge1@hotmail.com on there
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
its a fair amount of traffic. just for the cab file i created (which is about 35mb), there is about 100gb of traffic a month. This is just an estimate based off of September and traffic keeps growing. So there is a fair amount of interest in this.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
ok so I am really lost now. I don;t know whether to use SVN or GIT to host the repos. Each has their own pros and cons. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
I've never hosted either one either. Part of me says git because it's what the main android repo is using, and part of me says svn because it's more common... I don't really know advantages or disadvantages to both.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
Could always use torrents to share the files now couldn't we? Just have the torrent link posted on the site. I've got fairly fast internet speeds and would be happy to leave them seeding.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
not for developing on. We are talking about hosting the source files for the project.

I am in favor of svn because its what I know and use. it would mean though that we would have maintainers for the code and patch files would be needed. it would also mean having to go through the official code to merge those changes in as well.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
OK, another kernel.

This one has a much better battery meter, it defaults to not charging now. I found a bug where the timer wasn't reset correctly after power collapse and added a delay that hopefully has fixed the problem where the panel didn't power up sometimes. I also changed the ril so that it goes to sleep faster.

You don't need to get the whole zip file to try it, just fetch zImage from here:

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/zImage

and the libreference-ril.so from here:

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/libreference-ril.so

Put libreference-ril.so in the root of your SD card and it will say "patching RIL" when starting and replace your current ril. (remember to delete it afterwards or it may replace future versions).

craig0r: If you replace libreference-ril.so in your system image the radio will work. The keymap is in /system/usr/keychars/, just copy (or rename) qwerty2.kcm.bin to vogue-ts.kcm.bin. I have compiled the open source code but it doesn't include the maps app which is quite useful, so until that works, I'll stick with the current system image.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] unsungboxer:
Agreed, I really enjoy being able to use this program since it installs applications from android. It has lots of free programs that I was not able to find other places on the web.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] smopoim86:
I just tried the most recent image from about an hour ago. I couldn't get the power kill to work at all. I also had some weird call issues (started call, timer started but the call was never really started). Also, the symbols on the keyboard are still miss-mapped for me.

Thanks for all the hard work
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Did you delete system.img on the SD card before copying the new system.gz, if not it will be using the old one. When booting with a new system.gz it should say "Please wait... extracting System Image".
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
just tried the latest build, everything seems to be working great for me. calls and call timer works great, kb keys are still normal as of a few builds ago :)

[Touch CDMA Android Development] unsungboxer:
Martin,

I have confirmed that the older radio does infact effect the power collapse (as well as the audio).

I just received a factory replacement for my vzw xv6900. I tried android with radio 1.6 and power collapse becomes unstable, causing me to have to soft reset. I upgraded the radio to Alltel 3.37 using steps from this website:

http://www.atwistedweb.com/xv6900/index.html#unlock

With the new radio, sound and power collapse work as expected.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Ideal2545:
well im definetly still having problems with power collapse, i have NOT modified the default.txt file, should I? I am on the newest radio also
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jim256:
don't worry about modifying the default.txt
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Well now I've run into a problem. My microSD card is now corrupted. Any file I transfer to it is garbage. It was working just fine until right now.

The only thing that comes to mind about what may have caused it is the fact that I soft reset myself out of Android earlier today (even though I usually use the shut down method). I've never had a problem with that before, so I'm hesitant to think that that may have been the cause... And cards do fail every now and then...

I tried formatting the card through Windows and that failed.

So... *sigh*

I'm so sad now. Well, I guess I will now be testing these releases vicariously through all of your posts. So post away everyone!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Praiz2ELoHiM:

USB is a long way off because the MSM7X00 hardware is completely different to the MSM7201A. I think we'll have to learn to live without it.

I'm really happy with the latest build, I can't seem to break it at all and the battery meter works nicely now. I'll have a look at the camera next week.

Some SMS Messages not working

I've been following this thread for about a week, and messing with Android on my Touch, and I'm very impressed. Thanks for all the hard work, you've done a great thing.

I have noticed that if someone sends me an SMS message from their phone I receive it fine, but if I send one from a service like Google Calendar, for instance, or my service provider's (Bell Mobility) Text Messaging web page (http://www.txt.bell.ca/bell/en/index.jsp) I never get it.

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm guessing there is some difference in the message format.

I'd love to debug it myself but I haven't got an environment yet ... maybe I'll get some time on the week-end.

thx
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d3mon187:
Well it is a professional hosting service through Hostmonster, so I have 205gb free disk space and unlimited bandwidth and the downloads max my cable out at over 800kbps. So if you guys want to use it, then that's great since my site hasn't taken off at all and right now is just a big waste of money.

Still, if someone else wants to then that's fine. I just have a free server that I pay monthly for and it would be nice to get SOME use out of it :rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] roxorz:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Oh, that's pretty awesome.

etiger13 mentioned swapping AIM so we can IM each other, but I think an irc room is more appropriate. Organizing group chat sessions in IM and getting everyone on everyone's contact list is slightly more work than all of us just joining an irc channel.

So I've started #vogue-android on Freenode, if anyone wants to join me there.

Hey All, I've been lurking in this thread for a while now with nothing to add. Too busy at work! But I was messing around last night and found that Sprint doesn't firewall connections to devices. So! I ran on the phone "/bin/busybox telnetd /bin/sh" to start up telnetd and i can telnet right into the phone over the net!

Connected to 68-30-190-XXX.area4.spcsdns.net.

Escape character is '^]'.

localhost login: root

Password:

#

Pretty cool. Now I just need to figure out how to connect to it via the adb tool! I couldn't figure out the root password so i just ran passwd on the device and changed the root pwd. Now i just gotta figure out how to get apps onto this thing!

Great work to all, hopefully i will be able to join in and develop something soon. I can see Android being my new hobby!

Edit: One more thing to add. After yesterdays update the battery icon and % output is working. Power down is working, etc. Low power mode seems to be working also, as my telnet session does not echo when i type until I wake the phone back up.

how to properly power off the android?

I tried several releases and all of them worked well in the first boot, staring fresh from data.gz and system.gz. However, after reset the android and try to run it for the second time, I have various problems like the endless power wakeup during booting. This leads me to guess that maybe the data.img and system.img are somehow corrupted during the power off/reset process. Is there are "shutdown" command to properly power off the android? Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] suanccd:
ok. just found out that after long pressing end bottom, there is a shutdown option.

Android locks up when in a phone call

Firstly, Thanks to everyone who made this dream come true! Second, Everything works beautifully except I see that when i receive or make a phone call the screen goes black and is unable to be turned back on. I am able to complete my phone call just fine. However, the phone is unresponsive until it is soft reset.

I'm on verizon using radio version 3.37.10
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Can you make a file in the same place as haret called debug.txt with this in it:

pwf dmesg 0x00600000 0x00040000

Then boot android and get it to crash or lock up, now reboot into wince, run haret and change default.txt to debug.txt, and click run. It will create a file called dmesg on your phone, send it to me and I will try to see what has gone wrong.

Martin
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
You probably need a newer radio version, do you have working audio and power collapse (red led when you press the red hangup button)? If you get a debug log as described in the previous post I'll be able to tell.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bugmen0t:
I fixed the DTMF dialer/in-scall screen too. Here's the new phone app.

Phone.apk

Two strange things I noticed upon using my own base fs(not sure if they happen in martin's base fs too):

1. It seems the power button is no longer the home key (it will wake the phone from sleep but does nothing otherwise)

2. The clock is exactly 4 minutes fast.

3. Pressing the "end call" doesn't lock the screen -- pressing it again brings the home screen right up, instead of the locked screen.

Martin, any idea on these?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
These things work fine with my system image, do you have a working maps app in yours? If so, can you post it somewhere?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bugmen0t:
Damn it, more broken **** in the SDK. I just realized screen locking doesn't work and the clock is out of sync in the emulator too.

No, no working maps app. I suspect it might be an API key issue, since the API key is tied to the apk key. If someone has time, it'd be nice to see what happens if you try copying over the maps framework jar file and try a simple hello world app signed with a proper maps API/android apk key.
