Yes it works! thank you! GRAZIE :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doverfr:
could you tell where your music is stored? (folder name and path)

thanks

I'm sure it has been discussed already, but can't find it (I must use incorrect keywords)....

Is there a way to have our REAL location? I'm in france, and it says my location is in US :( (I'm even able to see myself moving.. don't know who i'm on tracks, but he should avoid killing people or i will be a witness :p )

For the battery, it seems that my phone moved from 70% to 1% in an hour (when from 100 to 70 took 3hours...)

And it's the same under windows.. where my phone just can't even finish loading...

I'm testing the full charge under Android to see if it helps...

Music player worked one time, now it's NOT WORKING.

However in sdcard/my music.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] adamc118:
i neeed wifi!!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
It does seem very stable for me other than the issues states. (SD and Sleep mode.)

On another note. in 1.5 I have noticed that you MUST do it as an upgrade otherwise the custom APN settings delete themselves. This seems to have been present in every build of 1.5. I did however notice that it input the settings for my carrier (not totally correct though) if I used the use default settings option.

Also to the person that asked about the resolution, yes it is still there. It isnt seeing the resolution as the 1.1 build did and everything is smaller and out of ratio, which can be seen from some of the non resolution aware apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doverfr:
wooooo not good....

i'm not sure it happens to any one before... As I mentionned, my battery went down very fast from 70% to 0...

I am now charging since past 2 hours, and after it stayed ages on 3%, it's now at 10... nevertheless.... under WM... the battery is 0% charged!

i hope it's not a state that the battery will "remember"...

The worst is that after relauching android... it says 42%... :( (instead of 10% just before crashing)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tdavis75:
This is because the location you're seeing is not even a "REAL" location. The GPS is not functioning. It's a fake signal that is being produced.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doverfr:
It works too for me, with My music (instead of Music i was using...)

I need the correct name for pictures ;) (my pictures ... :p)

edit: ****.. time for me to launch a song and "no SDcard is present"... :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] adamc118:
So how do i initiate the wifi?? i really need to test.... any way we can get the htc hero build on the kaiser or maybe android 2.0 donut in the future?

Hello,

I started a test of android-kaiser-1.5-06042009 from okibi:

1) after 1st start (upgrade to previous version) I got android.process.acore is not responding - after force close seems be fine :)

2) seems be faster !

3) 2G switch is GREY - as always (few posts before someone mentioned it).

4) SD card not available through settings

5) SD card is mounted

6) still no root shell

7) modem is working

8) market is working

9) in Apps I found Advanced Task Manager - it was already after installing uprade - but seems be not working due to message: activity advanced task manager is not responding.

10) neocore is rebooting phone

11) ANY opengl apps from API demos are rebooting phone - I thought that okibi said that OpenGL is fixed... seems be not.

Regards,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doverfr:
How can we get a location using GPRS instead (like it worked in google map on WM) it's not very accurate, but enough to find restaurants and stuffs around ;)

I forgot to mention that I have deselected "use GPS" and selected (and accepted) use network localization...

But i'm still located in Sunydale (or sunyvale), next to San Francisco
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] szymonunion:
doverfr,

good question. A-GPS should be working. In WinMo it is working with Google Maps.

Testing latest 1.5/ stock wm rom/ Clean install of all files in the kaiser 1.5 build.

- Noticed a slight speed

decrease

from last 1.1, but increases speed over time.

- Never goes to asleep, might be that it's set to 0, not sure why the clock settings are in the default, if it clocks to 500 once you wake the phone up for the 1st time.

- Battery meter reads 93% all the time

-Video player

does

see videos on SD, plays fine

-Music player

doesnt

see music on SD( says to mount SD)

-Open gl es partially works(stock rom and radio), neocore runs but is messed up, scrambled graphics.. same results as open gl api demos.. a lot worse than dzo very 1st gpu build. Global time wont run at all..though my phone

doesnt

reset do to launching a open gl app like some others are expriencing..though it did seem to dim the screen and shut it off..but i was able to wake it up.

-screen brightness

doesnt

work

will continue to test..

Update: second time booting / no changes since first time booting

- Noticed it might load images faster than 1.1, Home screen icons loaded almost instantly..but UI still isnt as smooth as the last 1.1

-Reads Audio files now in music player, but some apps that scan the SD card still dont read it, like the Comic book viewer.

-Advanced task manager seems to work at 1st but doesnt after letting the phone idle for a few minutes..

- Battery meter works but isnt correct about 10-15% off..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
I found that Advanced Task Manager does not work on my 1.5 test either; however I did find a program called closeall (I think) through Market. It works very similar to an Advanced Task Manager for WinMo, I liked it but it would not work on 1.1 which is what I am using until the power collapse issue is taken care of
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
The advanced Task manager worked for me, then after about the 3 or 4th time launching it, it stopped working..like it cant recover if it sits in the background or goes idle or something.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
Ive only tried it twice but afaik its the one that is newly included in the 1.5 package? either way it worked without problems for me. but I did not test more than just launching it and looking at it wondering where it came from. :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
I installed the Okibi 1.5 version.

I used 'Modem' to get a data connection. When using the browser and maps, I know there is a data connection.

When I try to sign in into my Google account, I clicked Gmail. With my username and password no connection is being made. I did not see the GPRS/UMTS arrow up and down blinking.

Someone knows what to do?

Has someone also have this issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
yeah it launches for me 1-3 times trying it right after another but if u let it sit for a few minutes it wont launch, and wont even force close itself, maybe if u tried another task manager you could close it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
Can you please try the AdvancedTaskManager.apk I uploaded to my repo?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mikentucson:
open a folder. Organize/Folder & Search Options/View/Hide Extensions for known file types.

just uncheck it

or do like i first did. open up the command prompt and goto the folder and ren *.zip *.apk
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ajclai08:
Thanks, i got it and it fixed it, it even got the old task manager working.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
Good, it will be included in the next android 1.5 release. (it's needed, imho)

I got the music app to work 100% of the time, working on gallery now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mikentucson:
awesome! will be using android again when this is fixed. back to winmo6.5 for now
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
Sorry to hear that android 1.1 is out of the question and a couple bugs bother you...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
Am I the only one who thinks this version of 1.5 is far LESS stable than 1.1? It's just very buggy and things still don't quite work the way they're supposed to. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I dunno.

And I'm not knocking your work, okibi. I very much appreciate it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
I've uploaded a new android 1.5 build to my repo:

http://ratedo.com/android

Really, only initrd.gz and system.img have changed.

Changes in this release:

fixed Advanced Task Manager

fixed Music app (put your music in My Music folder on your sd card)

fixed mmc_host path (previously submitted to kernel-git, now utilized)

a little cleanup (hopefully faster booting)

Also, I believe Gallery and Media Scanner utilize sqlite to store data rather than look at a mapped folder (not sure why the others are mapped), but it doesn't seem to work. Hopefully I can look into this later, I have work to do today.

NOTE: If your music app stops working, can you please send me what's listed in your exceptions log file?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
I find it to be quicker, more responsive, and overall more stable than 1.1. I don't hardly get any glitches at all. I do, however, reboot every morning and leave the phone plugged in the majority of the day when I'm working.

And I didn't say you were knocking anything. I understand that different things work different on different setups for different people. I just wish people could lend a hand. Tell us about your phone, what issues you have, and any ideas you may have. Also, be willing to help others out.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
When the screen is locked, the only way to unlock it is by opening the phone. Pressing the menu button doesn't work as it should. Also the browser seems a bit slower when entering a URL. That's actually all I can think of as far as stability is concerned (for now). The incorrect resolution is a bit annoying as well. EDIT: While a first speed test was showing HSDPA-like speed, more speed tests are showing 2G-like speeds.

Another minor but annoying thing: I used to be able to hit the center select button to go to a Web site after typing it into the browser, but now I have to actually touch the button on screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
What is your sleep_mode set to?

The browser's first load seems longer to be, but usability and usage afterwords seems better.

Have you tested your speeds on 1.1 and 1.5 during the same times and repeatedly? I didn't notice much of a difference, if any at all.

Which keylayout were you using on 1.1? More simple, did the Windows key return to home or did the IE key?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
sleep_mode is 1. Never changed it. And yep, I was getting good speed in 1.1 - about 1.5 MBPS. In 1.5, it's about 200K - seems like 2G to me. As far as the key layout goes, I never used the IE key, but I know the Windows key was the menu key for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mikentucson:
its not that. just i use my bluetooth alot and its not working yet. trust me i love android. trying to get a buddy of mine to trade his g1 for my tilt lol. what i do now is run windows at work for my music (day goes by soo much faster with music) and back to android when i get off.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
The keys are different now. Mail and IE is vol up and down, softkeys are both menu, win key is home, and ok is back.

Also, i am still unable to get any media working with this build. SD card in settings shows none, media says no card, and gallery is unable to find anything. BUT this build does seem faster than the last for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
DOH! I didn't know the keymap had changed. Don't know if I like this new one better, but that's another story.

Oh, and I think my Internet speed might actually be good after all. I would say I definitely like this release of 1.5 better than 1.1 (I noticed some nice visual effects I didn't see in 1.1!), with the only annoying thing being the resolution issue. If you pan over to the Google Search, you get a black box on the right side of the screen. Wake up also acts funny as well, but you probably already knew that.

Oh, and I also cannot sign into my Google account.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doverfr:
Battery is definitly an other issue. :( My phone didn't passed a night ... it seems that the sleep mode to 0 really prevent the phone to be sleeping :p

I'll try your new release Okibi... Thanks a lot

Regarding the new buttons settings, you'll find that it's quite good like that... windows button being the home button is more logical than the explorer one.

I've changed the setting of the red button so it also go back to home (in settings)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doverfr:
Thanks again ;)

Where are the exception files you need? I still have the same issue: SD card is seen, I launch a song and then i'm told there is no SD card :(

i've not tried connecting to the system using the internet browser... do you know the standard url for accessing a local sqlite admin? (like http://192.168.100.1/index.php )

let's start test of android-kaiser-1.5-06052009:

1) I created folder My Music and copied few mp3's - works! I see all mp3's and I can listen it :)

2) advanced task manager is working - I copied from okibi's repository. I can close apps and it is working. edit: after 3rd start: sorry! bla bla bla is not responding

3) modem is working, market is working, browser is working

4) OpenGL - everyhing reboots my phone :(

Regards,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
1) yes, Music player works fine now.

2) there is no need to install from Advanced Task manager from my repo, the apk is included and auto-installed in the latest release.

3) modem connects and everything should work (don't use togga... I might just remove it). If you can't sync with google, be sure you upgraded from a 1.1 where it worked.

4) opengl seems highly dependent on what rom/radio you are using. I believe hyperdragon, shifu, and athine have been tested to work with radio 1.7x

If you have any exceptions or issues with sdcard, please let me know what your exceptions log says (you can get the most recent tail in Exceptions under Dev Tools)

As for testing the wifi, you'll have to become root (or do it on boot, or boot to debug) and probe the module and configure the device yourself.

If you don't like the current keylayout, please let me know how it should be and I'll remap the keys.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
Personally from the keymap, Though I'm ok with the one you have. The other way I could see it mapped would be

Scroll wheel = If available, mapped to volume

power = power

end = end + home

call = call (bring up contacts list)

start = menu

mail = could it be mapped to messaging in android? if not then home along with

IE = home

ok = back

Also that reminds me, the scroll wheel seems to have the error that if you scroll down it wont stop scrolling down, if you go up, it wont stop going up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Xcloud1990:
For me, doesn't work anymore, I created "My Music" folder, even gallery does not work but the SD is mounted.

Battery goes down faster than ever, 2 batteries in 12 hours! with 1.1 1 battery goes for about 36 hours.

C'mon okibi, you're doing a beautiful work for us! Thank you!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
Do you have any exceptions after looking in /sdcard/My Music from the Music app?

Battery should work the same in you have sleep_mode set to 1. However the display does not come back on every now and then, even though the phone wakes up. I'll fix this soon, promise! I have my sleep_mode set to 0 and leave it plugged in most of the time. Battery life seems to be 6-10 hours otherwise.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
Still can not seem to get the SD Card working. Not sure about any errors but it just wont show up. I do have a my music folder (that android seemed to have made) so it wants to use it but maybe it just doesn't know how to properly?

Also is it possible to check into what is causing the resolution to not go with what is set in the default.txt and instead bump up to some pre set resolution when changed? It would be nice to have it back at the resolution that 1.1 was at for application compatability.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Xcloud1990:
Same thing... came back to 1.1 4 the moment.

Hope to have a release 1.5 soon! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Xcloud1990:
No, no exceptions, just a screen telling that there is no SD on the device..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SnootchieB:
At last...SD card recognised in latest 1.5 build but it required another app for it to work.

Short version:

- Download and install Meridian player from Android Market.

- From Meridian browser tab, select sdcard, then My Music

- Press menu button, select Refresh

- Go to Music tab and all mp3s should be accessible by artist, album etc and can be played

- Also, built-in Music player app should now recognise SD Card

Long version:

I Downloaded okibi's 1.5 060509 build and copied initrd.gz and system.img over a working 1.1 build. Under 1.1, SD card was working (mp3s stored in My Music folder) as were data, Market, Gmail, GCal etc. Under 1.5, data, Market, Gmail, GCal still worked, but Android music app would not recognise SD card. Checked exception log, but this was blank.

In case the problem was limited to the built-in player, I downloaded Tunewiki from Android market, but this would not recognise SD card either. Also downloaded Meridian player from market. The main screen in Meridian has three tabs at the top; Browser, Video & Music. From the browser tab, I selected sdcard, then My Music, and Meridian displayed all the sub-folders (my mp3s are organised by artist). I clicked on an artist at random, and Meridian displayed the track names with a prompt to refresh the library as some songs weren't recognised. So I clicked on the browser tab, browsed to the My Music folder, pressed Menu button, selected refresh then went back to Music tab in Meridian. Not only could I view and play all the songs in the My Music folder, but the default Music app now also recognises the SD card!

Rebooted phone, launched Music player, which reported SD Card not found again. Went back into Meridian and repeated above process to rescan SD card. Looks like I'll have to do that each time I reboot. Worth it to have music working under 1.5, though. Hope this works for others.

Edit: Meant to say, I have a MDA Vario III on T-Mobile UK running Mbarvian's Solace 3.1 ROM and radio 1.65.24.36
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] szymonunion:
SnootchieB,

interesting - mine Music built-in app in 1.5 050609 is working fine as I wrote about it few posts before. I have 10 MP3's in "My Music" folder on SD. I will check if I create folder and move all of them there it will be still working.

Regards,

edit: in settings I still do not see it SD Card, but I see it in mount list.

Hello, I'm still using the latest 1.1 version, and I've found some bugs:

1. The phone still gets into the "hard sleep" and only a soft reset helps.

2. After the "hard sleep" the WM shows zero battery (or a very small amount of it)

3. After every soft reset the clock goes +2h (i live in GMT+2)

4. The menu buttons are very sensitive. It is very hard to slide the menu not opening an application.

If You know quick solution(s), I would be glad to hear them.

Thank you in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doverfr:
Hi, I suggest you go to page 480 to 508, and you should find an answer to all your questions (not the very sensitive stuff though, as this is more from a personal feeling) (you will always find someone for whom this is not sensitive enough ;) )
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doverfr:
same for me still the SD card issue. It works for about 30 secs or so.. and the: "no SD card in the device" :(

I'm going to test the solution using th other player ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
Thanks definitely a Move in the correct direction towards wifi :eek::D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] okibi:
I was hoping anyone that has music issues with 1.5 would find someexceptions int the exceptions log when it doesn't work for them.

It works great for me, and I can make it break by having it scan mp3s with bad tags, which results in no media found and "audio_meta" exceptions in the exceptions log. I was expecting others to see that, but maybe it isn't the issue? (I'm assuming Meridian has a better method of reading the tags and populating sqlite)

I hope to have time to look into it tonight!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
How do you read the log? I don't know how but if I could then maybe I can get it to show what errors I am getting with reading the card. Also after booting android it created folders "pictures" "my music" and "video" on the card. And even after placing files in those folders nothing shows.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
Im building a repository on mediafire to help out everyone. Stay tuned ill post it soon. It has builds and everything else such as .apks and stuff. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] MooNWalker:
Does anyone have same issue with scroll wheel as I do? If I touch it even slightly it starts scrolling continuously. Same result most of the time if I turn it one step. Usualy the only way to stop it is to turn in other direction, though quite often it causes it to start scrolling again but in opposite direction.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
Alright guys I have started uploading to the repository. Enjoy! I'm still searching and uploading everything cool I find. The 1.5 Build is in there too. :D My small yet hopefully helpful contribution to the Android on HTC phone community.
