You realise that cycling with headphones is one of THE most dangerous things you can do when riding a bike? Unless you're off-road then it doesn't matter so much!
[Touch HD Accessories] funk1980:
Bike or bicycle :D

There are FM transmitters that connect to a 3.5 mm jack. They transmit the audio signal via a certain FM frequency which you can pick up with a radio. So if you have a small FM receiver or anything, it could pick up the 'radio signal' transmitted by the HD.
[Touch HD Accessories] JayPeg:
Thanks for helping me with the headphone question!

If I wanted your opinion on riding a motorcycle... I would have asked.
[Touch HD Accessories] erkv:
I had one of those

http://www.expansys.es/p.aspx?i=127513

and i tried several ones, including itrip and i dont recommend you this. because you will drain batteries in the transmiter and the receiver, you will have problems w wires anyway because they are still messy, and you will have problems with frequency. Once you get into a populated area or anything similar you will not be able to listen anything. Other frequencies will interfere.

I went from that into bluetooth, either headphones or car adapters are much better. If you want it for a bike you can look for helmets with on board headphones, its batteries will be better, i guess.

And I had installed in my bike a 12V power adaptor for these cases. so i can use the pda gps on board.

hope can be helpful.

be careful my friend.
[Touch HD Accessories] Step666:
Another option, though it's potentially fairly pricey, would be a pair of headphones using the proprietary 'Kleer' wireless system.

The only pair I know of specifically that support it are the Sleek Audio SA6 IEMs.

There's a page on Sleek's website specifically about the wireless option they offer - link.

There's probably a list of other headphones using the same technology on Kleer's own website.

I've got JF 1.41 RC8, can I update the radio and if so are they any drawbacks/improvements I should be aware of?

I've been searching the forum but not really finding much info regarding RC8 (I'm unlocked, not on T-Mo AND roaming so I'd rather not risk RC33 and the horror stories about txt message charges)
[G1 Android Development] Fushichou:
Pretty sure the radio update is for RC33 only at the moment, and that there is a different update for RC9, which I hope gets rolled out properly very soon.
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
I have installed the radio update, and although I Haven't noticed any particular improvements, I haven't had any problems either
[G1 Android Development] HorusUK:
Same here!
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
If a US phone can run RC9 without reflashing the radio to the EU version, that means there's no difference between them.

Granted, they could be doing something funky like hard coding in different radios for all firmwares, and RC9 doesn't have the RC33 radio update included in the code... but that is highly unlikely.

Just flash it, I very highly doubt it won't work. And if it doesn't, that's what the NBH is for.
[G1 Android Development] SchlafNinja:
How do you go about flashing the radio update if you already have JF's RC33 installed?
[G1 Android Development] majatt:
Thanks, if its no sig diff I'll just wait. I'm really waiting for the bluetooth stack to be updated ala 'cupcake' in an official capacity.

Which one of these formats would be easier viewed/converted to read on my G1 if I was to buy this book.

http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php?BODY=viewbook&BOOK=250465&v=buynow

If you guys can help me out by providing the program that could convert any of these formats to view on my G1, keep in mind when you click on the adobe version its says "Digital Edition" and said it would not work with regular Adobe reader, it needs the digital edition.
[G1 General] beartard:
Microsoft Reader files are the easiest of the ones you mentioned to convert....if they don't have DRM, which most online books would have. There is a command-line program called "clit" (convert-lit: I didn't make it up) that works in Linux and, I think, Windows. Again, if the file has DRM, it probably won't work, but I'm sure there are ways around that.

Sony's eReader (lrf) format still stinks as far as conversion goes...as does Adobe's PDF format. I believe they're possible to convert to html or txt, but the tools to do so are expensive. I'm not sure about mobipocket format.

I haven't converted files in a while (and most of my conversion is from html to Sony format) so my info might be out of date.

A good site to check out is http://mobileread.com. They're to eBooks what xda is to HTC phones. They have both forums and a wiki full of information that could be of help.

In particular, check this wiki page out: http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_conversion

I have been trying to get an answer, but with no success so far.

Does anybody know what happens if you take your phone to warranty service with a custom ROM?

And...

with a custom SPL?

with stock ROM and SPL but a custom official Radio?

with an official ROM, but not the stock one (updated)?

with an official ROM but of another language?

with an official ROM of the same language, but with different or no brand?

Please answer at least a couple of these points... I'm desperate... :( ;)

And please do not say "it should be" if you don't know, since everybody gives different answers this way. The best would be if somebody had tried that or if HTC had made an official statement about this.

Thanks!
[General Topics] denco7:
Officially, if you alter your phone in any way, other than official software update, your warranty is void. Period.

My phone stuck in bootloader with a custom rom on it and AT$T online tech could not get it out of bootloader ( didn't tell them it had custom rom and Spl ) just told them it got stuck trying to update the rom. Three days later they sent me a new (refurb ) I sent them the old phone . That was the last I heard of it. For what it's worth.
[General Topics] Black Antitoon:
I thought that, but the warranty certificate doesn't even mention that. That's why I am asking. Someone told me that they won't be happy because you are breaking WM's EULA, but my thought then was that flashing SPL or Radio only does not break WM's EULA. And even installing another official ROM, but not officially available for download, may not break the EULA.

Good news. Thanks for sharing. :)
[General Topics] aximilation:
That's cool, IMO it sounds like you got lucky :-D I've sent phones in before because of physical issues and made sure I did my best to restore to factory settings before that. I'm with AT&T and was told over the phone that if I had used a non AT&T / HTC ROM that the warranty was void. If I sent my phone in like that, AND they checked, I would have been liable for the cost of the phone...not saying it *will* happen, but I wouldn't risk that myself :-D
[General Topics] Black Antitoon:
Hmmm... An idea is that they say that because they don't want you to flash, but that they won't say a single word and repair/replace your phone in any case, since the warranty card does not mention it. Of course they won't if they suspect that the damage was caused by you...
[General Topics] aximilation:
Hopefully that's because they don't care and not because there's some people working on the phones who don't remember to check, etc...I wouldn't encourage sending back a phone with a custom ROM until I heard more success stories. Chances are that everyone has been trained that flashing a ROM will void the warranty, but the enforcement? Well who knows...
[General Topics] Black Antitoon:
Of course. The only good reason for doing that would be that the phone does not turn itself on anymore, or does not recognise USB and is without HSPL. In these two cases it is impossible to revert to the stock ROM, but for the same reason it should also be difficult for HTC to notice that...
[General Topics] aximilation:
Ah, excellent point. *facepalm*

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
I think WM6.5 will be like Windows Me was, an interim release between two larger releases.

WM6 was a big release, WM6.1 was a small release, WM6.5 is a little bigger, but will still be considered a small release until WM7 comes.

Hopefully WM7 will equal how XP was on the PC. XP/2000 was/is considered to be the best OS MS has released by many.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
I agree entirely. The language of the article also indicated that the author feels that 6.5 will be coming out late 2009, and 7 will be coming out in early 2010. Is there anything that supports this belief?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sweeny Russ:
I wonder if Microsoft publically gave the announcemnt to him that 6.5 won't work on our devices to sell new devices? Microsoft knows we have running beta's of it now.

And 6.5 is a joke. And according to leaked information about 7, with the exceptions of cool gestures, isn't by any means a huge leap in mobile technology. The only way to really promote this product is to advertise the hell out of it. I have finally seen some AT&T fuze commercials. But what makes a raph really stand out at the store is tflo3d not winmo. Microsoft needs to polish this terd, put it in a pretty basket, put it on a device that is crazy functional right out of the box and sell it after rebates for $199 with 16 gigs of storage, sd expansion, wifi, gps, exchange support, and a god damn qwerty hardware keyboard.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rudegar:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile#Windows_Mobile_6.5
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KD8DNS:
I agree with you to a certain extent. But you must realize that WINMO is just the operating system. HTC Samsung ETC. is the device maker, so in the end the maker is the one responsible for what the device has as far as hardware.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sweeny Russ:
I agree with you to a certain extent. A set contract and reduced price of software would ultimately determine the costs of the devices themselves, whether it be from a 3rd party device manufacturer or not. There are many pc manufacturing companies who do this with microsoft now. But maybe a microsoft proprietary phone is in the makings in the years to come (ha, ha). Like an xbox mixed with a phone. Maybe an XPhone. Super gamining device with portability and business functionality. I can only dream.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] baltika09:
The article says that current phones will be unable to support 6.5. Why exactly is that? I find it hard to believe that at the very least, the raphael wouldn't be capable of running it. I find it more likely that Microsoft is just feeding everyone a load of crap, to get them to buy a new phone, but that the new OS will work just fine on the TP/Fuze etc.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sweeny Russ:
Don't doubt it!!

The best developers here are broke. Look we have android running on titans. Really I don't doubt that once Microsoft releases the sdk it will be ported. Supposedly, the gestures require input from the camera and g-sensor and we have both. I'm not sweating it. Not to mention I'm usually upgrading at a year to year and a half anyway.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] markgamber:
Uh....the best developers where? The best developers I know are far from broke.

Personally, from what I've read about 6.5 and what I've seen in the hacked systems on my Tilt, I couldn't care less about it. It offers little beyond 6.1 and I really don't like the honeycomb thing. Sure it might be more efficient but it still looks like crap.

That having been said, I plan on getting a TP2 when it's available in the states for less than a small fortune. If it comes with 6.5, fine, but I'm not losing sleep over any aspect of 6.5. It's obsolete? Ok, whatever. It's not obsolete? Ok, whatever. The real question is who is going to be able to afford a new pda phone six months from now, not what system it's going to run.

I posted this over on the Updated Getting Android and Linux on Kaiser but I think this needs a new thread.

I used http://www.saurik.com/id/10 with his debian.img, busybox, ext2.ko, etc. I'm running ATT Tilt with I believe currently the 1.1 build of Android from 02/17/09 since the screen rotates correctly, calls don't drop, makes me waffles, etc.

I am not new to Linux and will help get this to work as best as I can (not looking for you to do all the work, just need direction):

Here's my issues (besides wifi... another post perhaps)

No internet and "I hate this terminal emulator" = paraphrasing the output:

1.) I can't get bootdeb to run:

"mount: cannot setup loop device: no such file or directory"

I try manually typing it in and I get a "mount usage ... blah blah rtfm, etc"

2.) "chroot: cannot execute /bin/bash: No such file or directory"

you already know I have it there... I've specified it, not, whatever nothing goes. This is saurik's debian image and the file is there...

3.) I've been told to modprobe ext2 first. Well..

with ext2.ko from the post in my /sdcard directory:

"$ su && cd /sdcard"
"# insmod ext2.ko
insmod: init_module 'ext2.ko' failed (No such file or directory)"
"# modprobe ext2.ko
modprobe: cannot parse modules.dep"

whether or not I use busybox for this or not:

"# busybox insmod ext2.ko
insmod: cannot insert 'ext2.ko' : unknown symbol in module (-1): No such file or directory"
"# dmesg
ext2: Unknown symbol __might_sleep"

That and the usual incoming call can hang until I reboot, no speakerphone action (my tape adapter in my car now hates me) and wifi. Without wifi, I can't even try telnetting in and getting the mounts to work. But if I can get Debian running, I'm hoping to maybe use ndiswrapper to give me internet.

My ultimate goal is to make a final package for devs and noobs alike to get a ready-made version so we can get the rest of the bugs taken care of.

Oh and i hate to ask but do you have a data connection in WinMo before you boot into android? As thats the only way to get it to work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I've tried that trick but no go. Wifi works fine in LoseMo (i hate you wm6...) and an active connection doesn't survive the 'reboot' into Androidland.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] smokestack76:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] smokestack76:
What is LoseMo? Never heard of it. That may be the issue then. If you lose the connection when you boot into android it wont connect. I had that issue for awhile. Once i figured it out all was fine. If you dont have a active connection when android starts it will fail to have a connection to data no matter what you do.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wornbat:

Although when I try to run the commands from a script I get the second one if I run it at the command prompt I get no such file or directory
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Kidding about LoseMo (WinMo)... I don't have a data plan I was talking about wifi.

Hopefully there are more people in on getting this to work. I think we (anyone listening) need to break this down a little and try to isolate individual problems nailed.

My plan:

I'm going to try to work with the emulator and see if I can get the Kaiser blends to run. If not, then the dev phone, lastly the stock FW that comes with the emulator.

If I can mount a fake SD card in it and get debian (first the premade one then ultimately a custom one) to install in the emulator with it's shortcomings then it should work in Haret right?

Please let me know who wants to help me do this-- I know we have the same phones and software but being in IT, I know sometimes the same directions can be interpreted many ways and maybe one will work if we have a large enough group testing it. Let me know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] smokestack76:
Well i know wifi doesnt work at all yet. As i dont think there are any drivers for the kaiser and android. Data will only work if you setup the apn settings for your carrier.

Should work like you say :confused: But it is a emulator so who knows the outcome lol.

ndiswrapper?

Has anyone either on Debian or Android, tried ndiswrapper with the WinMobile driver to see if wifi would work?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Regarding Ndiswrapper, that's what I'm wanting to know. I'm not comfortable with Android's apk format and no idea how or if one could convert a deb or rpm into an apk. And while busybox is fun it can't even mount an image due to module issues at least on smokestack76 and my phones so good look with ndiswrapper modules. I have no idea how to put ndiswrapper on Android and all the experience of 4 laptops behind me on Debian to get it working with that.

I need to boot Debian before attempting ndiswrapper.

Unless you know how to do it in Android.... if you do then we can try another avenue to get Debian running:

On the G1 you need to telnet in to get root access. The builds on our phones seem to give us root but I'm suspicious that it's really a pseudo-root environment and that's the cause of the failure to mount the Debian image. I might be able to try telnetting and mounting Debian remotely in that case. No wifi and no dataplan mean I have no way to confirm this yet.

It will be nice when we get it to work once and back up the install for further development but that's a little ways away.

I have not been able to get Kaiser ports to work in the emulator and the standard Android images to run in Haret... I understand the great lengths the devs have made but I wish there was some slack here.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] smokestack76:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Alright, I had my fun with Android but I want to get Debian running on it more than anything. Android is nothing more than a JAVA VM that can be ported to any respectable Linux distro.

I've got Debian installed on QEMU but can not get it working on HaRET with Kaiser/Tilt. Does anybody know how to get the image to run with HaRET?

Do you have the kernel log? can you create the qemu image so it writes to the boot / kernel log a SD card?

Have you consulted the Android devs or their bug tracker? Haret use to do the same thing when booting Android on my phone, so I image they made a kernel tweak somewhere.

Finally, what is the difference between the actual kaiser chipsets and those emulated by qemu? Are the ARM processors the same revision?
