Having the same problem losing the SD card. I just put in a 4GB card, so I thought that was causing it until I read your post. I'm going to do some testing - if it still doesn't work I'm going to wipe it and reload JF 1.43
[G1 Android Development] KyleK29:
So have we established whether or not the data/data move is ok? Maybe we should start a separate poll-thread to more easily track it?

Options like:

Does it work good (no bugs/crashes)?

- Yes; Class 6 Card

- No; Class 6 Card

- Yes; Class 4 Card

- No; Class 4 Card

Just a thought.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
To answer both of your questions: I currently reside in the UK and I have JFv1.43_Holiday + HardSPL + newest radio.

The advantage is that you get stuff like amazon mp3 and voice dial that are only available in the US + all the latest and greatest stuff like latitude, google voice search, as well as numerous minor enhancements.

I have noticed no problems whatsoever in terms of GPS, 3G, or mobile reception. Flash away my friends! :)

Just don't use RC33 as it sends an SMS to 453 every couple minutes.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Regarding 1.43 update, it works great (including latitude), no wipe needed.
[G1 Android Development] amvella:
Same here man, the battery drains out without even doing anything. But from all those pple who updated to JF1.43 ADP1.1h, it looks like we are the only two having this problem? Is any one else having this problem? Can anybody help us where to start from to look for this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance
[G1 Android Development] twistkill:
hmmm..i am on 1.41..i read somewhere that 1.43 does not have the myFaves icon..

but i aint worried about myFaves much..I use the IM a lot..i know tmo used to charge when u use the IM app..i just hope i doesnt..not sure

thanks for the reply anyways man!
[G1 Android Development] BobbyHill:
Mine did it again this morning. I thought maybe it was a problem with my sd card, so I got out my spare. (Identical to my main, 4gb class 6) I reformatted the card, wiped the phone and started fresh on JF 1.43. It worked all day, but now just a few minutes ago it's lost the card again.

This was a few minutes after I'd tossed it onto the couch, but that shouldnt knock the card loose, I wouldn't think.

Edit: Shut off phone, took out card & reseated. Rebooted and it still wasn't there. Wash, rinse, repeat, and it was working again. This is starting to get annoying. Still not sure if it's related to the update or if it's a hardware issue with my handset.
[G1 Android Development] jdc4429:
It's probably because some of the draining items are on by default in the update... Try turning off GPS for one (which was on by default in my last version)... Maybe something else you had off by default that is now on... This response was already given previously as well. Lots of answers to questions like this if you read the forum regularly.

Idea

Hey JF,

First of all we all appreciate all you've done. i was wondering is it possible to pick which update to flash? like when you press alt+s to select update.zip what if we could choose like updaterc33.zip or updateglo.zip (theme)... just a thought i know you can go into recovery and use the mv command or adb but i think it would be more convenient to change on the fly
[G1 Android Development] johnsto:
The disadvantage being you only have access to the US marketplace, meaning apps like ShopSavvy are useless, giving you product prices in dollars and for US retailers rather than UK ones. As I discovered to my embarrassment yesterday on Oxford St!
[G1 Android Development] Autarkis:
Acutally, I have felt that in contrast to JF1.41, battery life is longer! :) Are you sure you applied identical power saving settings? Particularly watch out for "use only 2G networks", that seems to be my biggest point of saving.

It's really a pity that we can't measure power consumption objectively... :(
[G1 Android Development] amvella:
I havent put my phone on "use only 2G networks" mode yet. Does that save battery a lot? Also when we surfing the net with G1, what does G1 use? Edge or 3G (If you put the phone to "use only 2G networks")? Am just a little confused, could you clarify? Thanks a lot
[G1 Android Development] Autarkis:
It's like this... imagine you and your phone ("P") are in the reach of two cells: one can only do EDGE ("E"), the other can do 3G ("3G") as well.

Cell towers with 3G are not as tightly spread as EDGE towers.

If you're phone uses 3G and a 3G cell tower is in reach, it will log on to this tower, even if the 3G tower is farther away than the EDGE tower - normally, the closest cell tower is being used. ("Closest" in the lose sense - it's based on signal strength, so it might be that one tower is geographically closer, but because of obstructions it's signal strength is weaker, so you'll get logged into a farther tower. It's still the most battery-efficient tower.)

With 3G enabled:

E----P======3G

Long distance, big battery consumption for sending data (and voice!) to the farther tower.

Use only 2G networks:

E====P--------3G

Closer distance, less battery power is needed.

I hope that's more or less true, and I also hope that you can make sense of it. :)
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
This has nothing to do with it. As far as I know ShopSavvy is meant for US market only. The fron page of their website reads "Coming Soon to Europe!" (http://www.biggu.com/)
[G1 Android Development] johnsto:
They mean mainland Europe. ShopSavvy was available in the UK at launch, and worked superbly! Then I jailbroke to ADP...
[G1 Android Development] blackgin:
My battery problem seems to be solved.. I don't know how nor why.. However at the moment, my battery's life is normal..
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
I won't argue as I have never used ShopSavvy, but it is weird that they would not mention UK on their website at all.

Try other stuff -- there's heaps of it :)

Newbie and need help

Guys

I just got my free phone since i work for google and after the pushed OTA update, this is what I have

Baseband: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.14.11

Kernel: 2.6.25-01845-g85d4f0d android-build@apa27 #27

Build: holiday_devphone-userdebug 1.1 UNLOCKED 130444 test-keys

1) Someone told me google will be releasing early versions to its employees phones before giving them out to the public. If I upgrade to the JFv1.43, will I lose that capability to get early-release OTA updates from google?

2) Also, should my version already have multi-touch capabilities?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Multi-touch is only available in JF firmware and it will never be available in any official build as Apple now has patent for it.

And yes, you will loose OTA. The updates will be downloaded and rejected. The only way you can "catch" them is by checking logs constantly.
[G1 Android Development] boostfedh22:
5. Open up a dos window (start>run>CMD)

6. Type cd desktop then cd fastboot

I get stuck here when tryin to flash... cd desktop goes thru, but wen i type cd fastboot.... "The system cannot find the path specified". And i have the driver installed, it comes up under adb as htc dream....??? Need Help
[G1 Android Development] sam008:
Thanks Karolis

1) once i lose OTA, i'll still be able to get the firmware online and transfer via USB. Right?

2) can i make a backup of my current software using alt+b and then restore it in a few days? Will that also restore my OTA capability?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Thanks JF.
[G1 Android Development] LPChris:
Just sent you some cash, I appreciate all you've done for us. :)
[G1 Android Development] schizox:
i do believe you can just do alt w then alt s
[G1 Android Development] speoples20:
Thanks JF love the new multitouch on the browser. Everything seems to be working fine.

And if anyone is having trouble with auto rotate through Droidsans tweak what i did was hit 5 first to disable auto rotate. It will say auto rotate disabled reboot phone. Now hit for to enable auto rotate and it should say auto rotate enabled reboot your phone. Now reboot your phone and it should work.
[G1 Android Development] finacc:
Thanks JF for this great sharing!!!!
[G1 Android Development] LPChris:
Crap, I knew I should've just left v1.4 on there after getting everything working. Just installed v1.41 and it's locking up at the flashing android screen again. Another wipe, here we come! :(
[G1 Android Development] nvisi0n:
I just sent $10 it's not much but I do really appreciate all you do!
[G1 Android Development] rickyteddyb:
Dont know if this will help

I tend to quick format my card anytime i do a jf update. i keep an empty 1 gb card and use that to update my phone. then i stick in my 8gb with all my stuff back in. It works everytime. I just updated from v1.31 to 1.41 and it works just fine.
[G1 Android Development] jasoncheng:
Thanks JF, it's really cool :)
[G1 Android Development] lushmoney:
Nope jus did it and same problems. The root doesn't seem to be working and the main browser isn't in the app list gotta use steel I don't know why it isn't working what the hell?! Droid sans keeps tellin me operation failed when I try to enable auto rotate and why isn't the browser in the app list? There's gotta be a way to fix this...
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
This is awesome JF but i want my pics to look like it is in those videos is that an app? Or would you need to add the multi-Touch feature to that?
[G1 Android Development] fiveohhh:
Awesome new version, borwser multi-touch and auto-rotate work perfect!
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
I just wanted to show my appreciation for jf, lukehutch, and everyone else that makes these builds possible. You are keeping the Android platform alive imo. Eventually, we will start to see official builds with cool new features and functionality and it will be due, in no small part, to the innovation that you have developed. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] ayo991:
I can't seem to do a su in terminal. It gives me an error. Put 1.31 back on it and not having any problems. Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
You have money to your paypal! Thank you so much for everything you do! :D
[G1 Android Development] LPChris:
Mine's doing the exact same thing in my JFv1.41 RC30, but was working fine in v1.4

After I type su, I get:

Error type 3

Error: Activity class {com.koushikdutta.superuser/com.koushikdutta.superuser.SuperuserRequestActivity} does not exist.
[G1 Android Development] Manacit:
su works just as it should here, first time I su'd in the terminal it asked me if I wanted to allow it, I hit yes, and now it works no problem.
[G1 Android Development] LPChris:
Yeah, my superuser doesn't even come up. Are you running apps from the sdcard or the system memory? I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.
[G1 Android Development] Manacit:
I'm running my apps from the system memory, haven't changed anything in there other then a few caches.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
I noticed in the booloader mode it says v1.31 and i don't get the alt-x but multi touch browser works so i am not sure if it went through 100% or what.
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
actually it has nothing to do with patents. it was simply not a priority feature for Goolge.

the creator of the MT patch has a (must read) post about this in his blog
[G1 Android Development] AsaSpades:
1: Yes, you can always flash your phone

2: No, since you are on a stock G1 and dont have Nandriod Backup, but you wont want to go back anyway once you get root
[G1 Android Development] sam008:
i'm actually a google employee and have the dev 1
[G1 Android Development] boostfedh22:
Any takers>?
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
1) No, I haven't disabled OTAs for the holiday version, you will still receive any OTAs that are pushed out for them.

2) No. Stock firmware doesn't have multi-touch. You need to install one of mine for that :)
[G1 Android Development] sheepdawg:
Hi,

So I rolled back to RC30, with the old radio update, everything worked. Then I updated the radio, and verified the update. Everything worked. Then I updated to RC33 JF 1.42. Everything worked. Then I updated to JF 1.43, Phone didn't work, all contacts missing.

I rolled back to JF1.42, and contacts came back, phone doesn't crash anymore.

Anyone else have this problem?

Sheep
[G1 Android Development] boostfedh22:
Similar problem myself, wiped then updated and contacts synced...

still sayin processor core error( i hit wait, so far so gud)
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
JFv1.43 is only the holiday version. So it sounds like you went from RC33 to the holiday version, will requires a wipe.
[G1 Android Development] kiucheng:
wipe

I upgrade from RC29 to JFv1.43

The first time I did the upgrade, it stalls at the android screen.

then I did a wipe. It works but the home button and call button are not responding.

then I wipe the phone again, now it works great! THANKS
[G1 Android Development] sheepdawg:
Hi, Again,

Thanks for all your help and hard work. I'm trying to sort all this out, and keep running into strange issues, so I suspect I'm not understanding something.

What is the difference between the modded RC33 and the ADP1.1h holiday version? I guess one is the Android Developer Platform OS, and one is the T-mobile branded version of the OS? How are they different? If I messed up by installing the holiday version over RC33, how do I wipe and start over? Do I start again from RC29 and the DREAIMG.NBH file for RC29? I guess there is no DREAIMG.NBH file for ADP1.1 that has leaked?

Thanks! Slowly learning.

Sheep
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
RC33 is based on the original US tmob G1 phone. ADP1.1holiday is actualy based on the phone googlers received for christmas (which looks pretty similar to an "updated" version of adp 1.0) Currently the main differences are than RC33 has tmob stuff (myfaves) and amazon mp3 store. under the hood there are more differences, which are what make not possible to change from RC33 to adp1 without wiping.

to change from v.1.43 rc33 adp1.1h to v.143 rc33:

1. download the proper update

2. rename to /sdcard/update.zip

3. reboot into recovery

4. Alt-w (wipe)

5. Alt-s (update)

6. when finishes, home+back to reboot.

you will loose all you data, so make a backup first
[G1 Android Development] Freezey:
I just updated the firmware to the modified rc33 and now i need to install the radio. when in recovery mode i tried to install the radio and it would say"cannot open update.zip" then it stops and says I can reboot.

any solution?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] saffyreuk:
Im a UK user using the ADP holiday firmware. Will my phone work in the UK if I do the radio update?
[G1 Android Development] sam008:
Thanks Jesus

Quick question on this (apologize for basic questions but I'm new to this)

Like I said, I want to go from ADP 1.1 holiday to 1.43 with multitouch. So I should download this and run it from the recovery console. Right?

to http://jf.odiness.com/v1.43/JFv1.43_Holiday.zip

Will I lose all my data or will it all stay? I have installed tons of apps and it would be nice for them to stay
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
If you're staying on the same OS build then you shouldn't need to wipe.

Like ADP1.0 -> ADP1.1 or RC30 -> RC33.

RC33 -> ADP1.1 would require a wipe.
[G1 Android Development] sam008:
Thanks Uber

so basically RCxx is an OS build for G1 users and ADP is an OS build for developers. Right? I'm a google emp and this is what I have currently

After an OTA push update by google on the first day of powering the phone up, I had these versions

Baseband: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.14.11

Kernel: 2.6.25-01845-g85d4f0d android-build@apa27 #27

Build: holiday_devphone-userdebug 1.1 UNLOCKED 130444 test-keys

So to confirm, I can download 1.43 from here http://jf.odiness.com/v1.43/JFv1.43_Holiday.zip and it wouldn't require a wipe. Correct?

Thanks for your patience. I'll learn this quickly with all your help
[G1 Android Development] mannyb:
That's the one. Should not require a wipe. You'll be up and running JF's image within a few minutes.
[G1 Android Development] kathompson2nd:
After updating my radio I noticed that my service is horrible...does anyone know where I can find the previous radio version and install it? I also did a wipe when I installed v1.41.
[G1 Android Development] medjai:
I dont seem to be able to use multi-touchon the map, only on the browser. Does anyone have the same issue?
[G1 Android Development] jusplainmike:
The browser is the only app so far that uses the multi-touch, you need a version of maps that uses multi-touch.
[G1 Android Development] kathompson2nd:
Unroot G1

Ok, T-Mobile is sending me a new G1 because I qualified for the "squeaking phone exchange". I have a rooted G1 and I assume when I send it back they are going to inspect it. Is there any way to return my rooted G1 back to normal for the exchange?
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
If you have flashed the splash2 partition, use fastboot to erase it (fastboot erase splash2), and then just apply the RC29 nbh.
[G1 Android Development] Obsidiandesire:
Note to all UK RC33 users (Maybe want to put this on the front page?)

It is safe to update the radio AFAIK. It made a strange symbol after i pressed home and back to reboot (arrow going into a microchip), but I rebooted, it went into recovery. I did a wipe and it worked fine.

I didn't have 3G (so no internet), changed that by fiddling around with the APN in the settings and disabling data roaming.

Maybe the flash failed and it reverted to the origonal radio ROM? I do know that it says it's correct in the baseband info.
[G1 Android Development] kathompson2nd:
Ok, now I'm back to RC29 with the and the andriod build. Will I receive the rc33 OTA update? It's not that big of a concern because I get my new G1 in 3 business days!
[G1 Android Development] boostfedh22:
Ok so eva since I upgraded to jfv1.43h I can't receive mms messages. But I can send them, anybody havin this issue? Can anybody help me with this? Would be VERY helpful...
[G1 Android Development] AsaSpades:
Works fine for me, im diggin the similar sig
[G1 Android Development] boostfedh22:
Thanks bro, tryin to do everything I can to dis phone. But I'm on hold with this mms issue. But u don't have the same prob, so hopefully its sumfin simple. I wiped it n all...yet I'm still scratchin my head
[G1 Android Development] Autarkis:
My suggestion: Double-check MMS Server / APN settings.
[G1 Android Development] rolflin:
I have no problem with MMS (yoigo spain settings).

tested sending and receiving OK.

Check apn settings!

But! I 've noticed that with jf1.43(adp1.1h)phone app is crashing frecuently on call or after ending a call.

Sometimes it only stops the call(no voice in and out) and after you press the endcall button, it crashes.

Any body has something similar?
[G1 Android Development] Gadzks:
I did, but it was with JF1.41 or 2, can't remember which, but it was ADP1.1. Have NOT had it occur with JF1.43 ADP1.1h and have two phones running this RC.
[G1 Android Development] robiom:
Just updated to JFv1.41 RC8 and now wifi will not connect. When I attempt to connect with my home network (1 metre away) it says signal excellent and then when I press connect it says out of range.

Any ideas??

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

It was my stupid wireless router needing a reboot.
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
Does anyone know if RC8 was also updated?
[G1 Android Development] kathompson2nd:
After finally getting my G1 to RC29 now I'm wondering if I will receive the previous OTA's due to contacting t-mobile and getting a dumb rep. that says "we can't push ota's"...uh yes you can if it been released already...I just want my new G1!!
[G1 Android Development] g1gangsta6604:
there was no problem going from 1.41 rc30 to rc33 mod.. didnt have to do a whipe...great job..the only thing is now i cant enable auto rotate it says bad version thats weird wateva..
[G1 Android Development] Obsidiandesire:
Unfortunately not =[ I'd recommend RC33 as there's little difference :)

Sumbody had said to check my apn settings,but not shure how to do that...n yes I did use the search fucntion and went thru 4 pages of nothin pertainin to my issues...if sumbody could point me in the rite direction, i'd really appreciate it. Thanx

Help Please!!!!!

Ok so this is my first post and I need help. I was able to root my phone earlier and now I want to get the most recent update. I dl the zip file, rename as update.zip on the sdcard and when I go to boot in recovery I get the message E: Cant open /sdcard/update.zip (bad) installation aborted. What am I doin wrong?? Please help and thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] farbird:
u shd read "how to root the G1" first
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
Another question:

If I where to go from my current RC8 mod to the RC33 mod (or back again from RC8 to RC33) would I need to wipe the device each time, or can it still be upgraded (I have HardSPL installed with a root access mod)
[G1 Android Development] moussam:
Is there a su executable in /system/bin/ of the original ADP1 and ADP1.1 firmwares? Or was this something added in the JesusFreke builds? I know the superuser activity was added, the one that prompts and asks the user the give access. But in the original ADP's how would you get root access, would you just run su and it would give it to you with no prompt or anything?
[G1 Android Development] spy_owl2:
Yes on ADP1. ADP1.1 added the superuser whitelist.
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
No, I added the superuser whitelist :). Both ADP1 and ADP1.1 just have the plain su binary that gives root access without any prompt or confirmation.
[G1 Android Development] moussam:
i am talking about the original ADP firmware not the jesusfreke version. the super user whitelist was added in jesusfreke's firmware. i am pretty sure this is not in the original ADP firmwares
[G1 Android Development] moussam:
Thanks JF that's the answer I was looking for. So basically you would call su in the same way, but there would be no prompt, no protection, as if every app was in the superuser whitelist.
[G1 Android Development] n19htmare:
GPS doesn't seem to work anymore.... what gives?

RC33 JF latest.
[G1 Android Development] tony_m78:
...simple question. . .is it possible to install a JF R33 onto a JF RC8?? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] popsi:
Yes, did this myself. I did perform a wipe because I like to have a clean phone with a new upgrade.
[G1 Android Development] Karolis:
Yes it will. I am a UK user and I have JFV1.43 + the latest radio.
[G1 Android Development] uherrera:
I don't know if this is because of the firmware but sometimes I get a IM notification from gtalk but when I click on it, it takes to the chat screen but the actual message is not there.

I can read part of what was said on the notification itself and even on the google chat logs, but the IM app itself seems to ignore it. It only happens once in a while and seems to be fixed by restarting the phone.

I'm using ADP1.1 on an unlocked Tmo G1.

Also the Droidsans app. now has a feature that unlocks the msn client from the usual Tmo proprietary sms method to the normal web based one. It might be worth checking it out in order to include msn service into de ADP firmware.
[G1 Android Development] [RiS]:
I've experienced the same issue on my ADP1 (both 1.0 and 1.1 holiday versions). Some times, when I'm on a long conversation, I lost some messages (the notification sound is played, but no message arrives, although if I check later on GMail, the message is there). The only workarround I've found is log out and log in again, so the chat window is reset (Closing the chat window does not work, as the chat history is kept.

:eek: Where did you find this? I've checked the droidsans page (http://droidsans.com/) and I was unable to find any word about that. Have you tried it? If you are on Tmob network, how do you know it's not using SMS?:D
