USB

Is it possible to have Internet on the phone by connecting it to a linux box (Ubuntu) via USB? This would be really useful for me since i neither have a data plan nor WiFi is working.

In the AndroidOnHTC Wiki it says USB is working but i cannot find any information on how to use it or get it working.

Which Bundle to use?

Hello Devs:

Could you please tell me which bundle would be the best and most stable right now for the AT&T Tilt kais100 / 8925? I have been following this thread for a while and now that its has different build from different people I am starting to get confused of which one to use.

I would like to also know when I change the bundle on my phone, do I still need use the data.img from 1.1 dzo verison or can I setup the account now through 1.5 builds?

Thaniks for the assistance.

Outgoing call issue

Any news about outgoing call issue?

I`m from Brazil and I`ve tested VIVO SIM card and Claro SIM card and wih both of then I have tha same problem, I can`t make outgoing calls, but I receive incomming calls and send SMS text to another mobile phone.

Everything else that are suppose to work are working.

My Kaiser model is KAIS130.

GPS Support

I just finished initial Kaiser GPS support. Thanks to srwalter for libgps and discovering the pattern of RPC commands to keep GPS turned on. The sequence of RPC commands is similar to the vogue, but the positional data comes as a NMEA stream, rather than through RPC. I'm parsing the NMEA in the kernel and converting to the vogue's format, so srwalter's current libgps is compatible.

Right now, it reports only position and satellite information. I'm working with srwalter to decide on the libgps interface for velocity, accuracy, altitude, etc.

I have attached the zImage . This also requires the latest libgps, which can be found here: http://dasbrennen.isa-geek.org/~srwalter/vogue/

GPS test

Hi,

I tested GPS.

At this moment I am located @ Curacao (Netherlands Antilles near Venezuela).

I used 'GPS Status 2' from Android Market to get my coordinations.

With my test I get the coordinates as follows:

11o39.889'N 66o29.983'W

The time does not changes and stays at 20:03:34.

The measered location by GPS is about 250km left from my current position.

I hope this helped to fine tune GPS in our Kaiser!

EDIT:

The changes are going very fast. Now I used the initrd.gz I have a fix!

The time stays at 20:03:34, but the coordinates changes every time.

GOOD WORK! I am very happy with this, because now I can use 'directions' with Google Maps.

Same problem here. after about 5 seconds it gives location cannot be determined using the zimage given and the initrd given. although i am in a lot of tree cover. will try again later in town.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mburris:
So i tested the gps.

Turns out vilord put a syslinked hook for the libgps file in the initrd already, so all you have to do is put the newest libgps.so file in the root of your sdcard and it gets linked to where it needs to be automatically.

As far as it accuracy goes... it placed my location in some national forest in Indiana. I am actualy in central Illinois.

To get a lock, I just turned how on in location and seecurity, then walked outside.

Keep up the good work.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tylerwhall:
The NMEA actually already streams from /dev/smd7. I went back and forth with srwalter over parsing NMEA in userspace or in the kernel. I don't think it's the best idea, architecturally, to read data back into the kernel and send it out a different channel, but there is also some merit in maintaining library compatibility with the Vogue.

Also, for anyone having accuracy issues, the old libgps applied a "correction factor" of about 1.035 to the position. Based on half the earth's circumference, that should put you about 700km off. Make sure you have the latest libgps.

As for the time, I'll have to get with srwalter to figure out what format he's using. I'm not sure the current driver interface actually supports the time in milliseconds that android wants.

GPS Testing

Hello Devs,

OK, I have been playing with the GPS more and also download GPS Status from the Market and it toke a very long time for it to show any information, once it showed the information the numbes for the Lat and Lon change often and its numbers are with then the same location area which is good from my understanding. it does not show how many satelites it has picked up and also does not change in the time much at all in the last 10 - 15 min the last fix time has changed by one sec from 19:00:20 to 19:00:21 it does not show speed or do any thing for the magnetic field

Hope this helps!

Issues and Behavors

Hello Devs,

Here is my take of issues and behavors that Android 1.5 dated yesterday with GPS enable:

Ever once and while the phone with go sleep and won't wake back up. This has happen about 2 or 3 times with then updating and before doing the updating.

When the phone is plug in at times it won't show it as plugged in (the icon or lock screen).

phone gets a little warm from battery, this in the past only happen when was on phone or was using phone for while (texting, web, calls)

I had since the updating to yesterdays verison and 30th of June version my phone front keypad would not unlock the phone but if I slide the keyboard open and close it would bring up the unlock patten thing.

when booting from windows and not connecting to the internet first I am still not able to connect to the internet, modem would not even let me disconnect / reconnect like it did in the past. when connecting in win first and then the modem most times it connect, if it does not I go into airplane mode then turn airplane mode off again and then try moden and it work 99.9% of the time if moden does not do it the first time. /Question, is there a way to have data auto connect yet?

I don't know if its me or not but haret seem to take longer now to boot Android after the load screen disappears and it still show explore on the screen then about 10-15 sec later it shows the linux screen. The boot time seems to be faster also back on dzo and viliow (spelt wrong) versions.

when using GPS status program in portarit view it cuts off the bottom of text half way.

Also when trying to access the task / nav bar (top bar of home page) I have to use my figure nails to pull from top edge it won't open other wise, beside using menu then notice bar.

Thanks and keep up the GREAT work that your folks our doing on our Kaisers!!!

Sincerely,

Christopher

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
TheParadox, you can just put the apps in AndroidApps/ folder in the root of your SD card. It will auto install apps for you (boot screen says "Copying Applications"). Might want to tell it to let you install 3rd party apps in Settings. Or just get App Installer which is free. I've posted all of my apps on this thread, you can get it anywhere. Scans SD card and lets you install.

(Not) working

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you about outgoing calls. The thing is that I read people have trouble with outgoing calls, but nobody describes what the problem is and how it appears.

When I want to make an outgoing call, the phone 'dials' and disconnects immediately. In the call log I see only 0 seconds calls.

Incoming calls are working fine.

After an incoming call, again, I cannot make an outgoing call.

By searching this issue, I saw the dev(s) asked for a log file. My question is if my outgoing call problem is the same as the dev(s) are investigating at this moment.

Thanks all!

I still show myself near the 101 Freeway in California, despite being almost positively in Texas.

Does the GPS patch require anything besides the .so file in the same path as the data.img and system.img, or should it be next to the zImage?

GPS Inaccuracy

I copied the latest libgsp.so from http://dasbrennen.isa-geek.org/~srwalter/vogue/ to my /sdcard. I'm still off by the 400+ miles after getting a lock using Google Maps.

As root, I then tried cp /sdcard/libgps.so to /lib/libgps.so. There is also a link from the root directory, libgps.so -> /lib/libgps.so. I verified that the libgps in /lib is the same as in my /sdcard directory using the diff command.

Still, the location has me in the same 400 mile off place. I took the phone for a drive, and did see my incorrect location updating... slowly, but updating.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Devs, can you please add to initrd.gz's init.sh script a way to execute scripts on the SD card? Vilord put a clause to copy a file to the root but a way to run test scripts at boot time (preferably at the end of boot up) would help out. I'd like to try overriding Vilord's PATH for 'su' to get Advanced Task Manager to work again. A simple "sh `cat /sdcard/testscript.sh`" would work since that should prevent needing a return statement in testscript.sh. The last line "exec init1" I'm assuming moves the cursor away from the script.

For some awesome reason my initrd.gz's permissions I believe are wrong since a simple extraction/compression renders Android unbootable. I've run the scripts exactly as posted but to no avail. The files are owned by my laptop user automatically.

This is what I've tried:

Unpack:
cd initrd15
gzip -cd ../initrdgz | cpio -i

Repack:
rm initrd.gz
cd initrd15
find ./ | cpio -H newc -o | gzip > ../initrd.gz

You're doin it right, but you need to do it as root, because when you re-create the archive it will store the user id information.

I'll add an item to check if there is a /sdcard/initrdupdates/script.sh and run it if it is there.

By the way, it copies everything from /sdcard/initrdupdates into /, not everything from your SD root.

I'll update it so you can put libgps.so in /sdcard/initrdupdates/lib/libgps.so and have it copy over correctly.
