After copying the files to the SD card and booting for the first time, it prompts you to sync with google servers. I already have gmail, so I choose the sign in option. No matter how many times I try I keep getting "There is a problem communicating with the Google servers". But then when I choose to skip that process and check the internet connection. everything seems to be ok. I have an assigned IP and the internet connection is working fine. I can use the browser to login to gmail or see my google calendar through the browser directly. But the initial google application fails, or when I use the GMAIL application it has the same problem connecting. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Here are my experiences with the 23-02 build so far:

- Changing the scaling resolution in the config file now works, haret boots ok and the screen is much more clear. Also I have the feeling the system just runs quicker this way.

Some cons of this resolution are that some programs do not seem optimised for this resolution, like the tast switcher or dialer. If I remeber correctly, these looked good on the older (cupcake) builds. So maybe some changes are missing?

Also, the font might be a little bit smaller, I think it was smaller in the cupcake builds, but again, not sure about this. Now the font is quite big, and it intersects with other text sometimes.

- Power collapse (1) still shows coloured lines.

pm.sleep_mode=0 seems to solve this problem.

- I cannot try the android market out, as wifi isn't implemented yet and I don't have a data plan.

- Sound works well (only tried music so far).

- Screen orientation in landscape mode is wrong, although in the previous (1.1) build it was good.

- I called my android phone, it received the call, but there was no sound on either sides, and I couldn't end the call on my android phone. When I ended the call on the other phone, my kaiser never noticed it.

Second try, call worked. Both sides could hear each other quite clear, and hanging up (on the nonandroid phone) worked out well. Only problem is that the other phone hears an echo of its own voice.

- I found a very interesting bug while playing around in the terminal in landscape mode. The touchscreen seems to be oriented in the opposite way of the actual screen for parts of android. Here is a vid that clearly shows the bug.

- I deleted any ppp settings from my configfile, but I just accidentally found out that android somehow autoconfigured and connected. Google maps was working, the browser was working, and togga told me I was connected. I did not do this, and could please someone tell me how I can stop making android autoconnect? I do not have a data plan and this just costed me probably around 2 euros :( .

I'm using a Vodafone branded (dutch), KAIS130, Dutty's Diamond Rom, Radio 1.71.09.01 .

Please help

So my GF just got a G1 and I really liked Android, so I have it running on my At&t tilt, it is a build with "working data" and I am very confused as to how to get it to work.

I have the Tilt here in the USA and I don't know which settings to type in and where? I tried messing with the settings in andoird like the FAQ says, but I am not getting anything..

Could someone please help?

thanks a lot.

it still has an issue with charging, goes up to an amount and refuses to charge any further. and if the screen is off it keeps waking the device up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] krisje8:
All of them.

I looked at the bytes of the files, and except for haret and maybe the config file, all the other files were different.

Does anyone on vodafone uk and not in a 3g area got this to connect to the net, have calls and messaging but not internet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] poly_poly-man:
actually, it would be an interesting project to hack a compass and an accelerometer onto the I2C bus - wouldn't be too hard, either :P

Anyone who wants multitouch: this is impossible on kaiser. Kaiser has a resisitive screen, meaning there is a layer that gets pushed down onto another, and the resitance in x and y directions is read - this is only one value.

Capacitive touch screens like that of the iphone and dream can get much more information - it's a matrix of capacitive readings that can tell the size, shape, and location of every press - to varying degrees of accuracy.

Running android-kaiser-23-02-09 with a clean install, after changing the default.txt file to use AT&T settings and changing the resolution to "mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320" haret boots linux, and the font size is much larger. I can read clearly now all of the booting messages, although, its much harder to see whats going on since the font is huge.

Boots fine, directly into the Dev Phone 1 demo.

Rotation is Upside Down :'(

Keyboard symbols for the TILT are still incorrect (using "board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=1" in default.txt)

Tried signing in to Google to sync, no luck. Togga connected, Internet in Browser works.

Loaded AT&T APN settings into Android from the following:

Rebooted and Everything synced up fine.

I tried using dzo's latest build and noticed the phone doesn't work. I called myself and the phone rang fine but I could not speak through or hear anything on my cell. I previously had been using okibi's latest and phone/sms functionality were working fine.

Quick question, are dzo and okibi working together or are they just releasing separate builds?

The 'blurry' screen isn't that bad at all by the way.

Anybody else having issues actually downloading the apps from the Google Market? I tried to download 3-5 apps and the progress meters never moved.

Everything else works, even NitroDesk Touchdown. I don't mind the bigger font as long as its more functional with the other apps.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Diznario:
I don't know if this affects everyone or not, but in my case with the latest DZO package it didn't seem to use default.txt for the network settings. It appeared to be getting the network settings from somewhere else.

To fix this, I loaded up Android and deleted the existing connection and created a new one manually, and the connection's been fine ever since.

Im on ATT... everything (relative) seems to be working...

Signed into Google Sync...

Contacts, Calendar, Gmail (Gmail Icon, not Email) all works perfect...

Apps download from the App store fine... had a hick up the first time I tried... after that the next 10+ apps downloaded and installed fine...

Again I will say I like the fake screen resolution... everything looks better since it all fits...

PhoneFlix is a cool app for connecting to your netflix account and changing your queue!

Ohh... during the first boot, before attempting to sign in to google, I hit the menu key and setup my APN (deleted the extra) I now HAVE the G Icon on the bar... After that appears I signed in without issue. See Diznario's Post on the page before (me - 1)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tembares:
@DZO and other devs: Thank you very much for all of your work! The latest exp. release is a very good one. I used it almost all day!

I had two incoming calls. It worked very well. The sound was very loud through the internal speaker, so I used one of the two soft keys, next to the green and red phone buttons, to volume down.

When I changed the volume, I saw the 'in call' meter went down, but the volume did not change.

Someone else had the same experience?

I re-arranged all of my Google accounts to one. Is it possible to have more than one active account?

I should use Android all day, only with a working GPS for navigation. I am asking to work on it. I have TomTom running, and a soft delete is done very quickly.

So when I am in my car with BT carkit and I soft reset the GK (not G1 but GKaiser :D) my BT connection does very strange. Is it possible that Android changes settings or just influence BT?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
Yes works perfectly, the default.txt settings are ignored for connecting but the settings in APN are not. It will only connect when the 'g' icon is present.

(also, for some reason when i couldnt connect, renaming the apn to "AT&T" exactly like that and as soon as it saved the "g" icon appeared.)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] skola28:
I also had to insert the APN settings in Android in order to get the Sync to work. To be honest though, I didn't try rebooting before adding the APN Information in Android. My APN Name is simply ATT, not AT&T as shawdowline suggested. My sync works fine with it named ATT.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] guymanx09:
FYI, I named mine "ATT" and got the g icon
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] skola28:
BTW, it is only the screen image that is upside down when in Landscape on the Kaiser (tilt). The touchscreen alignment rotates correctly, for instance, if I put the device in landscape by sliding the keyboard out, and then touch what should be the TOP of the display, I can make the notifications tray slide in and out. It looks very strange b/c it slides in the opposite direction from what I am seeing on the screen (b/c the screen is flipped).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bluenfee:
Deleted the APN settings and created the new ones based off of DZO's post. Got the G icon and everything is syncing up perfectly now. Thank you for the help. I'm amazed at how far you guys have taken the port. Keep it up.

@DZO and other developers:

When you want to calibrate the battery level, then about 32% my battery went dead. I could also not restart in WinMo, before I connect USB to load.

I am able to browse the market, but the downloads always fail. I am using the latest build

I was bored today, so http://www.androidonhtc.com/blog has all the latest releases, and you can RSS it/put it on your iGoogle, etc. by going to http://www.androidonhtc.com/blog/feed/

As for all the discussion about resolution issues that keeps popping up, the Android roadmap says that for 1Q09, their plan was all input method, and beyond that they are going to add QVGA and WVGA support. Is the soft keyboard in Cupcake actually part of the IME/IMF work, or is it just a hack to get on screen keyboard support out there (for the HTC Dream)?

I'm just wondering if they are actually currently working on the resolution issue, or if it's likely to not show up for quite a while.
