calls or no calls

Hi all,

spent a night testing the build of 01/03... data initially didnt work but found that the t-mobile uk info most people publish on net is wrong :( ....all sorted but found that calls dont work unless i call some one first?

Also i am using radio 1.65.16.25 which win and android seem ok with but get echo and boot from the recommended duttys rom (but this has screwed up my contacts).

Keep up the good work - read some info on the g2 last night - think i would miss my keyboard too much!

regards

phil

Data connection without Togga

Ok, I'll force myself to not start a new thread until the new forum has been created...

I don't know if that works for you, but I have to use Togga everytime I reboot or the connection got dropped to start up the data connection. But apparently the already is a mechanism to keep you online all the time - it just doesn't work. So I modified the toggle.sh to create /start_ppp.sh:

#!/bin/sh

modem_log()
{
/bin/echo -e "${@}" >> /smodem/ppp.temp.log
}

while true ; do
/bin/echo "" > /smodem/ppp.temp.log
if [ -e /smodem/setupmodem.pid ]; then
/bin/echo "setupmodem.sh is not sleeping yet..."
/bin/echo ""
/bin/echo "Waiting a few seconds before"
/bin/echo "trying again"
modem_log "Toggle is not ready yet..."
modem_log "We wait a few seconds and try again."
elif [ "`/bin/ifconfig | /bin/grep ^ppp0`" = "" ]; then
# Turn ppp connection on
modem_log "Initiating ppp connection..."
/bin/echo "on" > /smodem/ppp.stat
/bin/echo "Turning ppp connection on."
[ -e /smodem/sleep.pid ] && /bin/echo '/bin/cat /smodem/sleep.pid | /bin/xargs /bin/kill' | /bin/su
fi
sleep 30
done

The while true/done loop isn't really necessary as the init1 watched for the "service", but I put it in to be sure. Then add the service in /init.rc, right where it says

service setupmodem /setupmodem.sh
console

add another two lines saying

service ppp_watch /start_ppp.sh
console

Now it should check every 30 seconds if you're still online and reconnect if necessary.

boot problem

hi

@enatefox

ive not messed with any files and copied kaiser default.txt to default.txt but it would just say failed to open \storage card\initrd.gz

im downloading fresh files now and will redo it again to see if anything changes.

thanks for your input
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thebazman:
boot problem

hi

@enatefox

downloaded files copied over default.txt same outcome.

if i leave the default.txt unchanged i get the failed to open storage card\initrd.gz

this is so annoying and strange not seen anyone with same problem

cheers

Your only chance of success is to completely remove all the Android related files and folders - including the zip from your sd card and any startup.txt/default.txt files. soft reset the phone and then redownload the 01-03 files from here and unzip into the root, dont touch anything and run haret and see what happens.

btw, anyone know what dzo's been working on recently?

Put your microSD card in an USB SD reader and open it in Windows explorer. Make sure you have Windows explorer set to not hide known file extensions. Make sure that your files are named system.img, data.gz, and initrd.gz EXACTLY. That means check that they don't have any extra extensions and that they are all lower case.

hi

disregard my last post iv sorted it.

I'm trying to git the kernel so I can do my magic but it's hanging at

remote: compressing19% (42987/220442)

anyone else having this issue?

I want to keep your usb audio changes in tact as I work with wifi, are you gitting with your patch or adding the patch after?

Also, I'm pretty sure you can't resume a git transfer but I'm 0/4 attempts today at getting the kernel... anyone have alternative to removing the kernel folder and starting over again? Or even how to sync an outdated copy?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] AngryUndead:
Someone pushed my USB headphones patch on 03/04. It only works on the m7200 chipset and I've only been able to test it on the Tilt.

As for the current repository, I can't seem to get a working .configure for my Tilt, something is wrong with my config for block devices/cramfs and someone (more knowledgeable) probably should take a look a the default config for the vogue as it doesn't come with block device support.

Hey, I saw a new zImage from DZO:

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/zImage (09.09.2009 - 09:55)

Description: Change defconfig a bit, set up kaiser audio tables and make a start at bluetooth init.

Testing now...

to those having trouble downloading the kernel:

mkdir foo

git init
git pull git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git htc-vogue

then, to update, repeat that git pull command.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dzo:
That was quick, I just commited it a minute ago! This might help kaiser audio but I haven't even tested it yet. The bluetooth stuff is only for vogue at the moment and it doesn't work yet. I also changed a few things in the config that may make a difference, it uses the general purpose timer now rather than the debug timer, I don't know what this will affect. I put a compiled kernel on my site for people who want to try it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Thanks poly, I'm at 18% of my 6th attempt to not time out with the download. My dl from last week is probably no good now.. Will this let me resume and/or sync or does it simply restart the process or update when I 'pull?' Just want to be clear.

Dzo, can you please enlighten me on how to compile modules for the kernel? I know saurik said he would if there was interest and I think it's safe to say there is on this thread. Haven't heard back from him though. His updates (here) have some interesting updates that might let me mount loop Debian but it's only good for a G1 I believe. I want to try to mirror those changes as well as some new ones but don't know where to start. My side-thread (here) has dwaradzyn's post about compiling the kernel but what about modules? I've had no luck trying to chroot into an ARM enviro yet.

Thanks for the help and when I'm done gitting, I'll be gitting to work on wifi and camera.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bally3:
Dont know if this is the case for anyone else but I noticed mine keeps trying to turn wifi on in settings. If that is the case then could that ake a difference to the battery drain?

edit: I checked and wifi is definitely switched off in WinMo - I can tell anyway as the scree gets very warm in Android if wifi is left on in winmo when you boot Android.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milas:
I edited the install instructions to just instruct people to put everything on the root of their storage card. The subfolder to keep things neater just seemed to be confusing a lot of people and causing problems. (Obviously if you've been doing it that way without problems like me, it will continue to work)

I also added the latest build to the blog as well as the experimental section of the latest builds page on the Wiki.

I am in the process of booting Android now, so I will edit this post with findings of the new zImage in a little bit.

EDIT: On the latest build Android is not even showing a signal strength/carrier. This has never been a problem before. Is anyone else experiencing weirdness?

EDIT2: I'm dumb. I'd been experimenting with SIM PIN code stuff earlier and forgot to disable it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Still waiting to hear about compiling the kernel with custom modules... can't do much until then...

bally3, my experience is that wifi in the system settings for Android are removing and deconfiguring the interface. I would recommend you stay away from it until others can confirm it with me. Using this (configuring tiwlan0) you can get the tiwlan0 interface and assign it arbitrary IPs. When you go to the wifi settings in Android however, dmesg tells me the bit flags are set to 0 for the interface and I haven't been able to make them reappear without a reboot.

To answer your question about the battery, it will absolutely drain it more than not trying to configure it but I do not know if it is more of a drain than having the keyboard backlight on endlessly as we are experiencing. Couple that with never having my battery last more than maybe 6 hours of regular use and you better keep your charger on hand..

poly_poly-man, I just saw your post about my other thread, I'm only trying to make a simple reference to this thread that can easily be navigated. I'm summarizing pertinent info and linking back to the original posts as they are and putting them into a list to help other developers. Please, if there's an error (htc-msm vs. htc-vogue) I will update it but I'm trying to keep credit where credit's due.

It's not fun for me to search to over 4000 posts to find something and worse is to double post a question that's already been answered. I don't think keeping something like compiling custom modules into the kernel should be kept 'secret' or to much work to find so the better organized the info is, the quicker we'll be getting this up and running imo

Also, over on the google groups forum, I saw a reply by a google-ite saying that wlan.ko won't work unless it is compiled (configured) to the kernel as version-checking is enabled on it... It's like the Dr. Seuss book Oh The Places We'll Go but my metro card is in the form of a reply to how I can customize the kernel. Do I just drop files in where needed before the 'make' before the 'make' that makes the zImage file (the first of 2)?

Go into your settings in Android and set your timezone (which will then probably require you to reset the system clock). By default it takes the time from Windows Mobile and sets it as UTC time, so it thinks you are in GMT and your friends are in GMT -6 or something.

for those who want to loadup Haret with mortscript automatically when windows boots.. this is what i did

paste that into a text file, save it as "boot_haret.mscr" or whatever you like, put it into your \Windows\Startup and rename your default.txt to startup.txt

works on my tilt. no need to hit "run" anymore. i dont know that much about mortscript, but if anyone knows how to "disable keyboard lights" so that if you accidently hit a key before it boots, that the keyboard lights wont stay on, i'd like to slap that code in there too. probably as close to an "android rom" as we'll see for a while

The new zImage with the 03-01-09 system.img is working really well for me. I downloaded a ton of stuff from the Marketplace without issue, and managed to use a lot of apps flawlessly. Last.fm was a little funky because some of the tabs were super tiny, but it was still usable and streamed music fine. The Weather Channel worked fantastically and even played back video forecasts with just a couple seconds of stuttering at the beginning. Gmail app works fine as well.

Phone calls work great, I made a 10 minute international call to a Thailand cell phone and the call quality was great (better than Skype) with no random disconnects or anything.

I have noticed that while it is suspended, the LED randomly flashes quickly from red to green a few times before settling on red.

Overall the build has been incredibly responsive and stable - no random crashes or quirky behavior at all. I even tried to crash it by having lots of apps open and doing a bunch of stuff while sliding the screen in and out and it just became unresponsive for a bit and then went back to normal.

The battery still drains pretty quickly, but I think that's even an issue on the G1, so it's really not that surprising.

Anyone know a way of how to install Chompsms from my SD card? I dont have a data plan so using the market isnt so easy. Hopefully wifi will continue progress!. But is there any way to go about this? I really like the looks of the interface,id love to you use it thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] clujalolo:
its pretty simple, go to ur root of the SD card create a folder called AndroidApps.

In there put any .apk files (apps) Pretty simple. U will also need to go to application settings and check unknown sources. then your set.

then in the menu you'll see chompsms.!

My first post here..

I got to say big thumbs up for the people trying to make this work. I think android is a brilliant piece of work. It beats every WM theme with ease in both speed and design/ ease of use.

The only things i miss is carkit functionality and GPS. Dont really care about wifi and bluetooth. Never used them on wm. I will be patient for these functions to work.

Only problem i have at the moment is my alarm clock, last thursday it didnt wake me up.. but my rythm woke me up.. friday i woke up @ 10am..whoeps..

Today i had a backup alarm, wich pretty much saved me. Going to the alarm settings when i click the ringtone settings for my alarm (default alarm clock of Android) i get the following error:

The application alarm clock (proces com.android.alarmclock) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Does anyone know what is wrong?? Thanks in advance..

Correct Battery percentage

H,

After checking the datasheet for the DS2746, I've added the correct formula for battery percentage calculation (based on the standard battery). Actually, I read in the datasheet that a correctional value can be pushed, so I'll be trying to look more into that. At least when the battery is full or empty, we can take note of it and store the correct value. As for the max. capacity in mAh, we can easily find out, but were can I store that value permanently (across reboots)? An entry in NVRAM (if this exists) or the like would be the best I think...

Anyway, seems like the WinMo driver deals with wrong lower bound values, at least my Kaiser still shuts off at 24%. Will see if I need to add a voltage check.

I am running the 3-1 version, and just as a comment I amm on AT&T service here at work android keeps telling me I lost connection I do not have roaming turned on blah blah blah, I turned on roaming and noticed today that my phone was on T-Mobile network ??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] milas:
Weird, I don't have any problem changing ringtones or alarm tones. What applications do you have installed? You might try doing a clean install without anything in your AndroidApps folder and see if it's a conflict with something. Otherwise, I have no idea - it works perfectly for me with the 03-09 zImage, so maybe try that?

Did you enable data roaming? If so, you should be very careful because you'll probably get hit with some nasty roaming data charges for using T-Mobile's network to surf the internet, etc.
