Data connection almost never works for me

I still can't get the data connection to work. If any of you has any ideas, I very much appreciate to hear them.

Here is what I have got and what I have tried so far:

-I have a DIAM300 with radio 1.08.... and I never got it working.

-changed my radio to 1.09.... and I got it working exactly once (for one hour, stable) but then never again

-I briefly tried a friend's DIAM100 with Radio 1.08... and also that didn't work

-network provider: Optus Australia

-I did read and follow the guides

-my APN details show up in the APN list in Android

-I do get the G/3G symbol, but not for long periods of time

-I do sometimes get an IP address - as shown in the modem log, but shortly thereafter the connection "breaks down"

-I tried to use only GPRS(GSM) and not 3G(WCDMA), (selected in both WM and Android)

-reselcted my provider in the network settings (repeatedly)

-I tried to switch on/off the data with the modem application in Android

-also tried to "reset" the modem with the modem app and/or with switching on/off the flight mode (repeatedly)

-I do start an application in WM that uses data before booting Android

-I tried many different locations, some of which have signal strength 4 out of 4 bars in WM, but still can't make a data connection

It seems like there is some magic happening here, but it's working against me :confused:

Anyone any ideas? Pleeeaaase :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] :
This is still a work in progress project, of course thing's don't work the way there supposed to, be patient that time will come sooner or later, just sit tight and let the dev's do there work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] IceBone:
My connection is on and off too sometimes. But sometimes it works. :S Try running a data application when you get the 3G symbol, like market or google maps.

Hey dude. I like you too - maybe we should meet us for a cup of tea ? :rolleyes:

By the way: It runs on my diamond really smooth and I hope, the next time we see an "production release" so that we can kick of windows mobile from the phone.

I've got the panel power on/off working now, this should save lots of power.

Kernel is here:

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files

This works on my diam100 which has a Toshiba MDDI client and Hitachi panel. I think most diamonds have the Toshiba client but I don't know about panels. What this means is that is may not work for everybody.

It displays junk at first but press menu again and the panel should display.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Fantastic, mirrored in the zImage section in Downloads on Connect-UTB.

Going to try it on my RAPH100 later today! :) Thanks for all the great work!

I'm back again with my booting problems which have been bothering me for about a week now :S

I though it might be conveniant to type over a part of the boot messages (is there any way of logging this to the mmc once it has been mounted correctly?).

In an attempt to re-create the partition of the diamond's flash i've followed this guide:

http://www.htc-android.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=70&start=180#p1609

After which my diamond still doesn't have a partition table that any partitioning tool can display :S.

This is the output is get when booting android, can anyone shine their bright light on this?

the new zimage do not work on my diam100 :( after turning of the screen with end button the screen can't turn on correctly again, the screen lights up but only with vertical stripes in different colors...

thanks for your hard work,

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Try pressing the menu button once the vertical stripes appear.. or once the screen is off.. According to DZO, if you read his comment above, you need to press the menu button!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] raymondw:
Tried them on my Raph300 : nogo...

- Buttons not working

- Screen also not turning of

I'll wait for the next version :)

For now the older one is working oke.

incosistent behaviour

Hi,

Just after copying the android and the latest image to the root of the internal storage of an DIAM 100, android boot-ed and I was even able to receive calls, after some time device has blocked. After restart and booted again in WM everytime I start android I have the message "No service" and shortly after the device freezes. Is there a solution for this?

Thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
From my experience, when copying a new zimage, it's also good to delete the old data file.. (at one point i didn't do that and android didn't work as it should)

EDIT: I also get the white lines when i wake up my device, but pressing the home button once or twice brings the screen back on... So...it works! Great job dzo!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nakebod:
Although Android rocks, I have some strange problems, which I coudn't track down too one cause yet.

Currently running 20090909 (xrom1.4r3, downloaded via Connect-UTB) with the default zImage, zImage 2009-09-13, and the latest zImage 2009-09-17 version.

In general, Android works smooth, but sometimes the load is very high (Checked via "uptime" in the terminal)

But so far I couldn't find strange processes which uses much CPU or memory.

It even froze a few times, probably because the heavy load.

Hope I can find the real cause of this.

Now the positive things: IT ROCKS :D

My data connection (T-Mobile, The Netherlands) seems to be working out of the box now.

I followed the small guide @ Connect-UTB, added a new APN, refreshed the provider list, and it configured 2 new APNs (One for internet, one for MMS)

So I don't use my own APN anymore. Sometimes it can't get a connection at boot, constantly disconnecting, but when it has a stable connection, it will stay connected.

Keep up the good work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] j_cozi:
Hi

sorry for my ignorance, how can I locate those data files (how are those named)?

Thank's

The lastest release seems less stable than before. on my French Diam100 when i try to wake up the Mobile on android my screen gone white, and its die... bad

I can't wake my device, after he gone in sleep mode. (White Screen, Black Screen, etc...)

EDIT : The Touch Screen is less responsive too. i can't scroll into the list.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Strange. I also get the irratical screen behaviour, but can wake it up every time. Try just pressing the buttons... Mine sticks at the blank screen a couple of times, but i pressed the CALLEND button and tried again, and it woke up. Did that about 4 times now....and didn't freeze. Of course, it's annoying, but the device doesn't die..

hi

i try the android rom from http://connect-utb.com on my diamond ( german o2 version(diam300)) android starts und works fine but i cant use usb(no charging, no headphone, no usbstorage(it looks like usb is disabled)) and i can't endable bluetooth or wlan? can anybody help me?

thanks

(sory for my bad englisch)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nakebod:
Now you notice, I thought that my device crashed, but I guess I have the same power issue :+

Screen doesn't power on.

Ok, switching back to 13-09's zImage :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thedicemaster:
don't know about headphones.

charging only works if the phone is plugged in while booting into android

bluetooth and wifi still need drivers

and i think usb was configured for debug stuff.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mr.Betatester:
@thedicemaster

where i can get bluetooth and wifi drivers?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Well, you can't...read the thread a bit... ;) (or the wiki - all the info in one place..)

Screen on-off is working on DIAM100 with latest kernel, indeed the scrambling is there but no big deal.

Very nice to hold the powerbutton and see sort of 'task manager'.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
BTW RoboDEfence FREE runs great.

I bought the whole version (hehe, the game is big fun) but it hangs (com.wagicwach.rdefence stopped unexpectedly) does it on all kernels.

Anyone an idea, already? Lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mr.Betatester:
i found a litle app that will be mount the storage card as an usb stick but it don't work with my android

http://www.91rb.com/android/soft/net/at.abraxas.mountusb.apk
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Its a scam app if you ask me. Android has native support for mounting the storage card when you connect the phone to a computer, and it shows up as a removable storage unit. The reason it isnt working on the Touch Pro or Diamond is because USB functionality isnt up yet. Have patience.

Also, I would really appreciate if people took time and read the FAQs and read the Wikis so that we dont have loads of people asking how to get Wifi working or why Bluetooth doesnt work. We are working on it and we are making awesome progress.

Thanks for all support!

sending sms

Hello,

For those who can receive sms's but can't send them, I found a solution that worked for me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=433433

I don't know if it was a matter of sim card or network but I couldnt update the smsc directly from android in the test menu.

By the way, tried the latest zImage but the screen doesnt wakes up (DIAM100)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stamppot:
I see that the USB is dead though, as I cannot get the ADB debug bridge visible on my PC. But it will charge when it is connected to the PC or charger when booting HARet.

On a related note: does anyone get a headphone symbol in their notification area? I cannot seem to lose it, but it doesn't seem to do anything either (just wondering).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Got the headphones symbol in one of the previous versions, but now on the ConnectUTB 090909 version with the 130909 and 170909 zImage it's gone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] chowdarygm:
hi,

i have downloaded the 170909 zImage and renamed it as zImage and booted up but still i get the headphones symbol. am i doing anything wrongs here by renaming th zImage file? do i need to delete the old zImage files?

and also i edited the startup.txt with the carrier settings (o2 germany) but still no response and also tried to add APN settings, after adding all APN settings and saving, it never shows the apn settings and also i am not able to close the APN settings page once it is opened what ever i do...... :(

i am using Diam100

any idea folks???

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] boas:
Tried the new rom, and it is a bit more stable! It does not lock the screen, and it has good sensitivity by default (no need for reboot to fix it).

I even for the first time since xRom edition, got a stable 3G connection, I will use it tomorrow for as long as it is possible.

Great work as always, and don't give up :)

Btw, is there a group or people that is developing/porting Android for the Raphael, or is it only for the Diamond?

EDIT:

If I have understood it correctly the headphone icon varies from phone to phone. I have the headphone but still can use my Raphael normally. With your APN settings, follow the guides properly and you should be able to get something at least.

Works well here too on my RAPH110, but missing WiFi and currently doesn't got data working. Using RAPH 090909 and zImage from 170909.

But from my PoV .. I hail to all guys bringing this so far.

EDIT:

Got data to work (Settings O2 Germany GPRS -> APN:internet , user:, pass:, MCC:262, MNC07)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] computerguru:
Latest 09-17-09 kernel from Connect-UTB site will not start on a DIAM500 at all...using MTYPE 1805 or 2040. Haret loads, starts loading the kernel into memory, and freezes (never even shows the console screen...locks on WinMo screen.)

BTW...I want to thank MrPippy as well...your kernel from a few days ago worked on my DIAM500 with MTYPE 2040...although without microphone support (but calls/texts/speaker worked.) If I had more time, I'd help you out...I have C coding experience, but haven't had time to set back up my android dev environment.

did you run the program in winmo or somehow in android???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] deeproot:

Woot lcd backlight brightness has been implemented, waiting for the zimage dzo :P, keep up the good work mate.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dzo:
OK, it's on my site now. This kernel only comes out of sleep up if you press the power button, so press power then menu to wake up. I also changed the idle sleep back so it should be a bit more responsive.

If the panel doesn't work for you, boot with board_htcdiamond_panel.type=0 in the cmd line, you won't get the power savings though.

I left my diamond overnight and it went down to about 80% so it's probably usable if you charge it every night. There's still something using too much power, I'll find it eventually.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] brachialis:
thanks dzo!

works great! the battery lasts much longer now!this is AWSOME!

the brightness settings works great on my DIAM100.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] c4software:
dzo, you think you can add panel support in your kernel for sharp panel based Diam100 ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] babijoee:
Brightness control and backlight control not working for raph100 :(

Owells heopfully more support for different panels to come soon :D

Good work dzo
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mchh:
Sorry, forgot to tell what I precisely did(in winmo):

My smsc was set as : AT+CSCA="+33609001390",145

I just typed: AT+CSCA="0033609001390"

(the 145 value went automatically to 129)

Then did a soft reset and that worked for me.

Be sure to use your network's SMSC (mine is for SFR France)

You can also try to update it under android through the *#*#4636#*#* menu but i think that this menu doesnt work yet, or my sim card may be too old.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Well, with the new zimage my diamond still won't wake up properly. What i mean by that, it will wake up, but not on the first try. Sometimes i only get a blank screen, sometimes those white stripes across the screen.. Then i have to push the callend button, so it powers off, and again try with the power button -> home button "combo". Sometimes it wakes up on the first try, sometimes on the third, fourth... Just some info for the developers...

My device is DIAM100.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dun74:
+1

The last zImage seems to be better than the previous one, you can start and stop the panel quite well, but if you let your phone off for more than few minutes, it is harder to wake up (have to play 2-3 times with endcall and powerOn). And if you wait even more I have a black screen and hardware buttons don't work at all. You can only reset. I will try to plug my usb in debug mode to check if I see a special log in the LogCat view.

BTW the temperature of my DIAM100 is now quite good, not as warm as before, so the power consumption should be really better than before.. great !

And as usual Thank you all for your work.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Untouchab1e:
Would Raph qwerty support be implemented in the kernel image or in the base files? Would be nice to get it working again :)

Great work dzo! Power consumption is definetly much lower now! However, I still have to fight with my Raph in order to wake it up. :) Love the progress though! :D

Having the same result, also if there is an incomming call the panel backlight turns on, but doesn't show the calling screen. I can pick up the call but can't see who is calling.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] beboxed:
I've only tested this with the 17-09 kernel, but Android doesn't seem to read my battery properly sometimes.

The indication seems to vary between 25% and 50% and sometimes Android shutsdown due to an empty battery, even though WinMo indicates that its at 50%
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lucxxx:
Same result for me too. DIAM 100.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RationalGaze:
Oh, and I also have the incoming call issue. The backlight turns on, but the screen doesn't. (****, would really like to know if my mother is calling, or someone else :P)

thanks for the amazing work and giving us the android exp
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lionizer:
Hi all, let me start by doing a great "Thank you people" for the recent progress!

I'm running the latest Zimage (18th) and Android is more stable then ever on my HTC Diamond, downloading, no more overheating, better power control, etc.

I found a strange bug, i can make calls (outbound) but can receive them.

I'm in Holland and I'm using a KPN account. Does anyone else have the same problems? Sometimes it gets the text message that I've missed a call but never have i been able to directly answer an incoming call.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nakebod:
Well, I have the same problem.

What I've discovered so far when I boot to Android (09092009 from xrom1.4r3) and I open the "Better Terminal" app, and I type: uptime, the load is very high.

It drops a little bit after a while, but the load is still 3+.

When the phone goes into standby, how longer the standby time is, how longer it takes before the phone reacts.

When the phone is powered on, and I open the terminal again, and check the uptime again, the highest load I've seen is over 30!

If I'm right, and simply said, what normally should take for example 1 second, now takes 30 seconds because the "queue" is full.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stamppot:
Same for me, except that I get random hangs. Just now I even experienced a reboot back into WM! When it runs, it is more than usable though.

@dzo: is it possible to activate USB debugging? I wonder if you can have the debug output of the kernel sent to a USB serial port or something. Any pointers, anyone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dun74:
The usb debugging already works, you have to start adb or use the LogCat view in eclipse when you installed the android sdk.

I am not an expert, but I ve got a lot of error messages in the log saying it cant open /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_vol

When I open this folder I ve got a "batt_volt" but no "batt_vol" doing a cat of this file give me the actual battery info ex: 3184

Is it a typo error or some kind on different name depending the htc ? mine is a DIAM100.
