HTC trinity and Android

Hi

I have kinda drowned in the amount of messages in this thread so sorry if I repeat a question already asked by others.

Does android work on the HTC trinity yet or ?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
The first post says that this only works on the HTC Vogue and this is the Vogue forum... Why/how would we know whether it works on other phones? You should ask this question in those forums.

Why does everyone who comes in here asking a repeated question feel they need to remind us that this thread is massive?

We know this thread is huge. We've been reading it for quite some time now!

Despite being thankful, you throw jabs back with comments like "...as I have a life" (implying that others here do not). Try not to insult the people you are asking for help.

On massive threads, I always recommend reading the last 50 pages or so. Sound like too much? That'll take like an hour or two. That's probably faster than you will get a response from others and faster than the 2 days you've spent looking here.

So understand why people get frustrated with repeated questions and comments about how long this thread is. It's just proper forum etiquette and common sense. You're a guest here and so am I (I still consider myself a guest here even though I've contributed a little), so respect everyone here and heed the advice you're given.

This is directed to all of the people who will undoubtedly come in and ask repeated questions (with some specific references to your post fiktion because we've heard similar things before and yours was the most recent), so try not to take this too personally.

Thanks Thanks Thanks

I have never done any linux or android development.

I wondered yesterday morning if someone has put android on an HTC touch. Did a quick search, found your site. Spent 15 minutes reading downloading installing... and I was done....

It went from a stinky windows mobile 6 to this amazing android os. I am amazed how rocking my phone is now. I now have no desire to get the G1, storm or iphone (hope my wife didn't buy me one for Christmas)

Thank you for making this so easy.

Thanks thanks thanks....

Can't wait for usb and bluetooth... (but no hurry)

keep up the good work... I will for sure donate... as should everyone else who have enjoyed the fruits of xda & Martin's labor.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
i still try to post and keep my site running. its just a bit harder to make cab files now but im still trying to. i cant test them anymore since i got my Touch Pro. ill try to make an updated cab file today.

If there is anything people repeatedly ask, I can throw that up on my site as well. http://www.myhtcphone.com

Again, the forums there are mostly working and now have the subscribe feature workings. Its starting to get some traffic so if you all want to slowly start moving some more of the excess questions/comments/discussions over to there feel free to.

its amazing the work that Martin and Jake and Adam and retrobits have all done for this. Now just got to find people as good and as dedicated for the Touch Pro......or learn Linux well enough that I could be that person since that project is a good 6 months behind this one.

I figured my data problem out. If anyone else on Alltel is having trouble, this might help. What I did was open Opera (or Internet Explorer) on Windows Mobile. This opens up a data session. Then I closed out Opera, started Android, and did the Toggle thing. Hallelujah it works!

Also, where to find applications? Everywhere I look i can't find downloading places.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manley:
or they could use the search bar?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
First time poster in this particular Android thread.

I currently am an HTC CDMA Touch Diamond user, but after seeing the progress the Touch community has made I had to pick up a handset from Ebay to play around with this port. As I anxiously await the shipping ;) I thought I would introduce myself and post some thoughts.

I personally have no desire to be able to boot natively, as someone stated previously. Not one platfrom really fits all needs, so "dual boot" or at least launching Android from winmo is just fine by me.

I do, however think that to take full advantage of the Android platform we should make GPS a priority. As I see it, many of the quality apps coming from the the devs are location-based services. IMO, this is where the industry is heading, with Android and Apple leading the pack. From dzo's comments, GPS may be tougher to crack than BT and USB.

So my question is, does anyone (outside of the groups that are actively involved with other aspects of the project) feel like taking on the challenge? Maybe somebody already is, but I haven't seen a whole lot of discussion around this yet.

BTW, my personal thoughts on order of importance purely based on my own use-cases:

GPS - for reasons stated above

Headphone support (not A2DP) - I like using my phone to stream online radio, particularly last.fm, which Android has some promising clients for (alast.fm, android.fm)

USB Support - obviously a need for easier interfacing and file management

Bluetooth - whatever profiles we can get, not sure what all is supported by the Touch

Great work so far. I am excited to be part of this talented community...Can't wait to see what's next!!

Cheers!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
Ditto here.

GPS would be the next big thing for me as well.

Thank you to DZO and everyone else for this GREAT alternative.

I also second the motion on a Wiki for this thread.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] d3mon187:
I wonder how short this thread would be if we didn't have 5 repeated questions like this on every single page?

:mad:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myriam53:
I installed Android on my Touch. Everything looks good, but I can't connect to the internet or google maps. Any idea on what might be my problem?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scott500:
ugggh

Read the thread!

Start a data connection in WM prior to starting Andriod.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ingenue007:
the answer is READ THE THREAD OR SEARCH THE THREAD FOR THE ANSWER. i wish engadget had not linked this story.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] exabrial:
DZO,

Another bricked sd card. This time I had just received an SMS message and the phone shut off. When I rebooted, it went into that infamous infinite loop. I hadn't rebooted out of android in about 2 weeks up till today.

This one was a 256 Sandisk, same brand as the last one that died, which was a 2gb. Last one died on boot though, this one just randomly
[Touch CDMA Android Development] uiucryan:
I have long been trying to host a wiki for this effort (last time was in post number 2402), but have never really gotten anyone to join the site and update it. I basically have stopped offering, because I don't want people thinking I am spamming this thread.

To copy and paste what I wrote in response 2402.....

It has been a while since I have shamelessly begged folks to join and update the wiki entry at http://www.androidgeeks.net/wiki/HTCVoguePort, so I thought I would give it a shot. Admittedly, I have not updated anything there myself in some time. I still think a wiki would be a good place to put the common questions, answers, tutorials, etc.... instead of having to search through the countless pages of this thread.

I will likely scrap the wiki entry due to lack of interest and lack of updates.....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Hi,

I'm going to be away for about 3 weeks from today. I'll still try to read this thread and answer my mail but I won't be able to do much development.

As for new drivers, USB will be extremely difficult since it is very different to MSM7201A, I have some ideas but it will need a lot of work and I'm not going to even try it soon. GPS uses a fairly large intermediate driver that looks like it does lots of work. This would explain why GPS on the touch is so much more unreliable than on MSM7200 devices where the GPS driver is said to run on the ARM9. Again, lots of work. Bluetooth on the other hand shouldn't really be much work, I think it sits on the serial port which should be working and I think it is similar hardware to the G1.

While I'm away I'll do lots of thinking about the best way forward.

Happy Xmas.

Martin
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zapat0s:
Hi I have been reading since Engadet posted about the port and I am very impressed by everyones hard work. Because of everyones hard work I have decided to buy a Vogue from Verizon when my contract ends this January.

I added some things from this thread to uiucryan's wiki and hope other will as well.

Happy holidays everyone and I look forward to an eventful new year.

Thanks for all your hard work Martin and I hope soon I will be able to assist in further development of Android on the Vogue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pierrechn:
hey i finally got android to work on my sprint touch.....

i have run into 2 problems..

calls dont always come through?

and is the battery bad or is it just me?

also i am using the cab should i try the zip to fix battery issues?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pierrechn:
lol buddy how hard is it to tell the man the answer...searching hardly ever turns up useful info....lol just answer his question
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manley:
are you keeping the internet session on? chances are the data is eating your battery. as far as the other problem sounds like a sprint thing honestly. i used to work with their phones and that was not uncommon.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brsev:
This is great, it's amazing how slow an clunky windows is on the very same hardware. Using the zip mentioned in the first post, everything seems to work pretty much flawlessly, except for some twitchiness when using the keyboard in maps and in the browser. People have probably mentioned this, but the calendar won't load. But it's really amazing how quickly android has been ported, usably, to something so different from the G1.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dubbwilliams:
Hey dzo, nice job on the port. I have a used Sprint Touch on the way and wanted to help out in the graphics department if I can.

I've never worked with a phone OS before, so I'm not exactly sure what is needed. Can you provide the images that you use in the soft keyboard?

What is the primary image format that Android uses for images displayed in the OS' UI? I can pretty much do whatever I want as long as I stay within the proper pixel dimensions, right?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] whitenexx:
Very well work!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
If you do scrap it, you could throw the info on my site and I can give you write permission to write new articles.

The forums on my site are getting a little bit of attention. mostly questions that could be answered by searching here but as a lot of people end up at my site first its understandable they dont know.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xxmillertimexx:
I'm sorry it this has been answered and I know that most of you get irritated when newbies asked already been answered questions, but I have tried to open Internet Explorer and then launch Android, but android still won't connect. The icon won't load either, and I have to manually go in and press Haret.exe

to get Android running, any help? Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pierrechn:
dude u dont have to open up IE...u just load android through the haret.exe

then go to the togga app..its white circle red in the middle hit CONNECT wait for it to connect then you should be good...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] uiucryan:
Feel free to copy and paste:) I personally don't care if people 'rip' any of the info on the wiki. It is there for the betterment of the community.

And thanks to zer0 to making an actual update to the wiki:)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xxmillertimexx:
Well then why do they put an Android Program Icon in the List if it doesn't work? I also tried to use Togga, and it doesn't work. SMS doesn't always work either...it always says Wrong SMS encoding..? This gets to be pretty confusing.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] es3045:
Vibrate all

Is there a easy way to set the phone to vibrate all? Right now im turning everything down and selecting the phone vibrate. Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zapat0s:
zer0 is me btw. The name zer0 wasn't available on xda-developers so i went with my backup name :P

I hope you can help add to it as well and maybe even if nobody else helps the two of us can turn it into something useful.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manley:
did you make sure on the top bar thing that it has the little data arrows showing you have a data connection? like try navigating to a website on ie
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manley:
under dev tools you have to do the google login service. just click "require google" and enter your gmail info. make sure data is on!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sfleury:
Wrong SMS coding?

Are you perhaps using a GSM version of the phone? This port only supports CDMA...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
Im guessing you are using my cab. Post over at the forums on my site for support with using the cab. This will help free up this thread for development of the port itself.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] manley:
when i get texts from certain people it tells me "wrong sms coding"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xxmillertimexx:
Ok etiger I will do that. And no, I'm using Alltel, which is CDMA. It always says "bad sms encoding"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myriam53:
Can't connect to the Internet

Sorry if I'm redundant. I opened an Internet connection before I fired Android, but I can not connect with the Internet in Android. Is it because I have a radio 42.30? How can I get a radio 42.50? What can I do? :confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xxmillertimexx:
Same here, But I don't know if my Radio is up-to-date though. I really wish that somehow some way we could get this to work. My Text Messages work with some people, and then with like Sprint it always says "bad sms encoding"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] uiucryan:
I had originally hoped the site would be a good place to discuss Android hacking and development. I got little interest in the site and had little time to keep it up to date myself. If the site garners more interest, I would be happy to put some more effort into it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bryn987:
anyone get this to work on the Verizon Touch? I installed the cab last night but got a Haret error message when trying to launch it
[Touch CDMA Android Development] philf:
android

Hi, I have a cdma4 touch I've installed aothndroid I can't get the caledar to work or add contacts or turn on bluetooth

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mjchoi824:
bluetooth doesn't work, you can use CSVcontacts or funambol to upload contacts, and you have to login to get calendar to work. this has all been addressed many times in this ginormous thread.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
CSVContacts works great! I've not tried to use Funambol yet.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xxmillertimexx:
Funambol is so easy to use, and you don't even have to sync to the Computer. Just upload them to Funambol and Android comes with Funambol installed.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
If only Funambol would synch the calender for Android. I still haven't switched to using Android full time mostly due to lack of gps. Granted my gps rarely picks up signal using wm as it is.

Quick question, how can I tell which release I'm using of Android? I'm not sure if I've got the latest files or not.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
As is said in post 2369; if this happens, send me a radio log as described in post 1705. Until somebody does this, I can't fix it.

I'm currently in Vietnam, they have a CDMA network here and

my Vogue with Android works perfectly.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Start the terminal emulator and type:

su

/bin/uname -a

This will tell you when the kernel was compiled which should be more or less the same as the date on the zip file. Obviously, this doesn't tell you which version of the system image you have.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d1rtyd33z:
call waiting

Dzo,

Have you made any progress on call waiting? I vaguely remember sending you a radio logcat via email. If you need any testing, etc, I'm available. =]

--Daniel
[Touch CDMA Android Development] etiger13:
it sounds like more and more people are using my cab file and thinking it is the de facto install, which it is not. it is just a packaged up version of dzo's files. Currently I'm using the build from 12/3. I may update it today though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tallnerd1985:
Hi everyone!

I am a little new to the vogue-android scene but from what I have been playing with for the last month, thank you DZO for your great work, your port is so far awesome. I work at VZW and I have been promoting the crap out your port for the touch because everybody loves how smooth and fluent the Android operating system is compared to blackberry and windows mobile. I got a couple of questions for anybody that can answer them and forgive me if I sound like an artard if these questions have already been answered.

1. Would it be better to develop an driver emulator for haret to talk to the windows mobile drivers kinda of like NDISwrapper so that porting to other pocket pc phones would be easier?

2. The bad sms encoding error, could it be that Android does not recognize a MMS?

3. To build a program that would automatically use activsync to update the Android port files whenever a new release comes out?

Other than those questions, if any of you guys need help regarding carrier specific info, I work at VZW so I can try to help if you have a specific need.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crunchitize:
I'm aware

I'm actually aware that this question has been asked prior to me asking this; however, I've had no luck.

Simply, when booting I receive the error:

10setup (or l0setup): No such file or directory

Failed

Failed to find data.img on SD Card

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

Is this indicative of the lack of support for my SD Card?

*Edit: Also, I have unpacked the data.gz file, and data.img is on the SD card, along with system.img as well.

Thanks for anyone who responds.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hunterd13:
i had the same problems at first- i just put the files on the the root of the card(without folder) and also renamed data>data.img, system>system.img and ect..

thats all i did-i dont know if adding the extensions helped or just moving them to the root of card(no folder) hope this helps.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ~David:
Any status updates again?

Haven't seen a new version since the 5th :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] summerblink:
dzo is on vaycay . . . hold tight!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] d3mon187:
This looks tasty :D

Seems like some mighty nice fixes that should help with the port. Hopefully Dzo can chime in on just how helpful it might be.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] ajoh99:
This is what we've been waiting for:

(from cupcake)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brsev:
This is great. If the dev. got this far on his own, I'm guessing the next update, eventually incorporating 'cupcake,' will be day-to-day usable. I can't wait.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] xxmillertimexx:
So this means that this "Cupcake" will fix all the bugs with SMS and MMS, and will allow Android fully usable on WM? If so, this will be amazing. Any ETA? I am pretty excited for this. Thanks DZO!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] erickplaystation:
I hit import contacts and it doesn't seem to be doing anything, the name of my file is for sure contacts.CSV (copy/pasted the filename/extension), i exported it from outlook 2007 to CSV (DOS) mode. it's in the root of microsd card with system.img and data.img.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] summerblink:
did you export it as a Windows CSV or a DOS one? it makes a difference . . . at least it did for me. i can't remember which one works though :-(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] erickplaystation:
DOS, I will try the windows one next..

edit: Windows didn't work either. The application tells me it can't find my file.

edit edit: I even tried to export it from outlook as an XLS (excel) and opened it in Excel, and used excel to save it as a CSV with no luck. i have it named "contacts.CSV" (without quotes obviously) ARRRG!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] retrobits:
just a couple of ideas. make sure you have "hide file extensions" off in windows, otherwise it may be actually named contacts.CSV.csv. Also it does take a while to import your contacts if you have a bunch of them. I have about 100 and it seems to take about 30 seconds (the UI gives no indication that its working). In an earlier post you said that id "did nothing" when you tapped import and I remember thinking the same thing the first time I ran it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I'm jealous DZO. I wanted to go with friends to Vietnam last year but just couldn't afford it. Plus I still want to go to New Zealand as well.

Well hopefully Cupcake would be easy to incorporate. I wonder how much of a hassel it'd be to keep all these independent projects working together. Like if someone gets it to work with this port, then the people working on Cupcake put out a new release can it all of a sudden it not work on the port anymore?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] erickplaystation:
first thing i did when i installed windoze. i will try that older version of CSVcontacts with a small number of contacts and see if it works. (wait for it when it looks like it's doing nothing).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pierrechn:
hopefully the next update fixes the battery issue...cause i mean teh battery is horrible it last half as long as windows and thats wit togga off but once they fully port it everything will be straight..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
Android Rocks!!!

Been using it for 3 days straight now and its awesome. I do miss not having GPS or Bluetooth but I'm sure those things will be fixed at some point. The only other thing is no MMS. I tried a few things but was unsuccessful. Has anyone else had MMS issues with Verizon Wireless?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] steve98:
Audio will only work if you have radio 3.42.50 -- do you have this?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mattcoz:
I think it has a lot to do with the inability to lower the brightness of the screen. In WinMo I always set the brightness very low when I'm on battery, but in Android it is at full brightness and the brightness controls don't work.

Problem with Data connection

Hey XDA

I am loving the Android OS. Everything is running beautifully except my data connection. I make sure that I connect to my pocket IE and establish a data connection before I run the haret file. Also, once I am in android I go to the togga application and establish a data connection there before I load up the browser. Once I go to the browser.....nothing....no connection. I am running the latest rom on the Sprint Touch. I picked up the cab file for android from myhtcphone.com. Let me know if you can help.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pierrechn:
yea sometimes u have to connect in togga then disconnect then reconnect..but yea if brightness worked it would last longer...and cupcake looks awesome..
