On another note, I've been using mssmison's latest (as of a couple nights ago) hero-themed ION build, and have been having some radio/data issues. The data connection will go down, for instance, but "3G" will still appear in the tray, so without going into the Modem app, it's hard to tell if you're still connected or not.

And (very) occasionally, the cellular connection will disconnect completely (an 'X' next to the signal icon.) I checked my dmesg and logcat after this occurred last night, and didn't find anything significant, except for an LCP error, but I'm not sure what that means.

Regardless, I noticed you were putting up another Rogers build, so I'm going to try that one.

For anyone curious about different builds, I've found the standard, non-themed ION to be the most stable lately, but it lacks the most features.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
next time that happens can you get me the logcat data for the radio. I'm not sure it's related to the build as most of that is handled by the rootfs but I'll happily take a look.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
I thought I was on freenode, but maybe not. I'll try and pull it up.

EDIT: Found it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fireshaper:
I've seen the same thing, craig0r. Most of the time I notice it when I haven't received any email and I go check my gmail account and there a few in there. When I check my modem app it says it's disconnected. I'm using the Bell 3.42 radio (just updated it this week, around the same day that I updated to this build) and don't know if it's a radio thing or build thing.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] prodigy2m:
I had the same thing yesterday. I came out of the train and I had X and nothing worked until I restarted the phone and now I cannot download anything from the market... :( sad ... But the themed edition is lightning fast ... awesome
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
I'm on that radio as well.. Do you find it's only after you hit a dead spot and lose cell service that it doesn't re-initialize?

Again get me radio logcat data and I can look into it.

My Location: Use Wireless Networks option

Just wondering if anyone has any idea why when I select the Use Wireless Networks option, instead of placing my in Dallas, TX, I'm placed in Savannah, GA?

Also any idea what file controls this behaviour?

Thanks !:confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
+1 here as well. I am on Rogers build though!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Snakehn:
off topic but, i lived in savannah for 6 years, such a great wonderful city :) :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Morpheus Phreak:
I'm having a bit of an issue, and I figure this is probably a really easy fix, but it's got me pretty irritated at the moment.

I'm using one of the recent builds from within the last week or so.

It seems to work pretty well...but when I restarted my phone and went back into Windows Mobile it appears that my DCIM folder for my camera is empty.

However when I boot back into Android it shows all of the files there in the DCIM folder.

Did Android somehow change the structure of the files in such a way that Windows Mobile can no longer access them?

If so that means Android is going on hiatus for me since I need WinMo access to those files...or at least a way to get them sync'ed to my PC easily.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Just a thought, you could upload them from android to picasa, then you can access them from anywhere.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
double check that you're looking at the same DCIM folder... beyond that maybe hook up your SD card to a laptop and run a scandisk on it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
Still plagued by this low battery thing. using latest nkhero with fresh data.img. Charged all night, took off charger at 5a, did not use at all and turned off data. looked at it at 9:30, I was in the 50s. by 4-5pm after sending two texts all day no phone calls data off, I was in single digits. I was in the hospital all day with patchy service, and I think this has a huge affect on it. I may go back to the old initrd again, see if it works with the latest nkhero.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tiermann:
Same thing here in the past few days (since nkhero-2009-08-12).

If I have no signal for a while, it won't come back until a reboot. Trying to use airplane mode to bring it back just lets you put it into airplane mode (but never actually goes into it) and then you have no option to bring it back (greyed out).

Probably more to do with the latest initrd or rootfs though.

CDMA Sprint, Radio 3.37.15
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
I am using initrd/zimage as back as 8-6, still I am loosing 3g network (on sprint).

I am using Rogers build.

Does it have to do with button remapping at all?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
Same here, remapped zimage, latest init/rootfs and older hero themed ion system. Sprint.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Morpheus Phreak:
vilord: Yup it's the same DCIM folder. It's the only one on my MicroSD card. I'll have to wait until the next time I have access to a media card reader (my desktop doesn't have one) and I'll check that out. It showed up immediately after using the camera in Android though for some odd reason.

katmandu: True, but when it happened I was actually trying to show someone the pics on the phone, and at times I do transfer photos off directly to other PC's. That's why I was trying to find a more 'local' fix so that things would show up properly.

Receiving calls erratically

My wife tried calling me a few times today and I didn't receive the call. She said it just rang and rang until it went to voicemail. I checked it out when she got home and it was taking 20 secs to even register that she was calling, but then it also went straight to voicemail. Signal strength was very good during the test calls.

I'm going to try changing the modem spc (name?) and see if that helps, but I don't know if the problem is connected to that since it only takes about 7 seconds for the call to connect when I am in WM mode.

edit: crap, I thought I was posting in Zen's thread. Sorry. I'm running Zen's 8-15 Hero build if that helps. I'll leave the post in hopes that someone not on the other thread will know an answer.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] clockworx:
I was also having issues with the phone losing connection ( Sprint), and requiring reboot to get it back. I fixed it by rolling back to the rootfs from 8/6, which also means the second-to-last system.img, since the latest requires the latest rootfs. Here's my files and their info:

initrd.gz - 8/6/09, 2.98MB

rootfs.img - 8/6/09 - 10.0 MB

system.img - 8/7/09 - 40.0MB

zImage - 8/14/09 - 1.43MB

My guess is that something was changed in the rootfs that is causing this issue, though I'm not sure what. I first noticed the issue on 8/8, so it was sometime between then (I think my rootfs is from the 8/6 bundle), and then.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
So, since switching back, have you received calls any faster? Thanks for that detailed input. It is hard to keep up with all the components and the new releases of each (no complaints here, though).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
compcache???!!!

it's on vogue-android website.

wow...it's getting very exciting here....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
sounds like something in the RIL isn't right for CDMA... I'll take a look at it again tonight and see what I can find.

If it does have an issue, disco twice in modem *should* fix it...

New stuff now is a compcache rootfs (faster with big apps), thanks to magister for the scripts and help.

And the new keymap with power->menu, 2+ second press power->rotate and cam->back, 1.2+ second press cam->task switcher
[Touch CDMA Android Development] frad:
Sounds sweet. With Power now the menu key.. what button takes us back to the home screen? Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
the easiest is to go to spare parts and set up your end key to be home, then sleep.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] clockworx:
I'm putting on the new rootfs to see if the Sprint "dead radio" issue still persists there. Anything I can do to help if the issue crops up again? I'm not quite up to speed yet on this platform with where log files and other debugging related materials are located.....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zakkain:
What are the PureBlack and SuperHero builds on the google code page? I searched this thread and the kernel development thread for those keywords and nothing came up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] clockworx:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] zakkain:
Ahhh thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
the dead radio issue is something i'd really like to fix. I've only seen it once, but was too late to get a meaningful log... if you see it, and it started recently, bring up a terminal (development tools->terminal emulator), "/bin/su", and then "logcat -b radio -f /sdcard/radiolog.txt"

that will start logging the radio for the previous 2-5 minutes or so and will keep going 'till you stop it (middle dpad-c is like ctrl-c to stop it).

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
You said "If it does have an issue, disco twice in modem *should* fix it..."

--How exactly do I do that? In the haret under "Listen for network" or what? Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
I mean open up the modem application in android, and press disconnect, then press disconnect again and it will reset the radio. This is only a workaround to avoid rebooting the phone... it does not fix the underlying problem.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] clockworx:
Let's see if this works..... (from the latest rootfs.img with compcache, posted today on google code)

If you do come up with a fix, I should be pretty good to test it....the disconnect seems to happen pretty reliably with me, within 5-6 hours of use typically, and often within an hour.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Drizztfire:
Thank you ... i hate to reboot and see wimo. ;)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
thanks for the new button mapping, I think it works well. thanks for decreasing the longpress time; I think it could be faster yet, even down to 0.7 seconds especially the camera button, but hey it works. hats off for figuring out how to get the phone to wake properly, it's all working now. thanks for your work.

for those who accidentally press the power button twice in a row and unknowingly unlock there phone, I activated the lock pattern, and this has worked well for me; I like it even better than the old two button unlock that we had before.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cointelbro:
I think it would be better to swap screen rotation and task manager, right i use screen rotate a whole lot more than task manager and hate having the keyboard pop up all the time
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
We discussed that in the other thread and it was decided that we should probably do that, but there was some issue with it I think. Not sure what though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
I'll make the change tomorrow, shouldn't be an issue. I think it'll work better too, because task switcher will close the keyboard after it's opened

Just updated to the new rootfs-2009-08-16 (with compcache (faster, replaces swap), dma wlan.ko, fixed radio lockups (vogue)) this morning and now when I boot into Android I'm getting no data signal. I have to manually go into Modem and disconnect twice and then connect to acquire data. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] femmyade2001:
hey guys, i have a problem with the newest hero build (it sems to have been an issue with all the hero builds too). Whenever someone calls, i only see the phone number, but not the contact name. Is there any way i can make it show me the name of the caller?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] punk.kaos:
Yeah, mine is doing this as well. I'll be ok with it if the radio stays connected now though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] aross6:
Yeah... my only problem is that we live in a sketch-kinda service area... seriously thinking about switching back to the previous release until this gets hashed out.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:

Switched to : rootfs with compcache (faster, replaces swap), dma wlan.ko, fixed radio lockups (vogue) .

I did not had to reset radio (double disco) to have a connection at boot. I didn't loose connection yet so i don't know if it reconnect itself.

Headset Icon?

Why am I seeing a headset icon on the status bar at the top?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Stupid question time: Do you have your HTC headset plugged in?

I'm here all week. Try the veal.

Seriously though.

What happens when you DO plug your HTC headset in? Anything change? When you unplug it again? I've only used my HTC headset once, and I don't recall if an icon showed up or not. I don't have it with me so I can't check.

Radiolog

i am having the same problem when i boot with the new rootfs-2009-08-16

when i disco twice and reconnect i can get the data working

i attached my radio log hope this helps
[Touch CDMA Android Development] golfnz34me:
Just to let everyone here know. I had the issue where the radio (The telephone part) went away and I couldn't get it back. It happened to me twice, both times right after the phone beeped at me for low battery.

Coincidence?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Sublimeinlife:
Ive got the same headset icon and ive never plugged in any headset before, i saw a couple other people in the thread asked about it too. Is the HTC headset you speak of something that came with the vogue? because all i got was the mini-usb and 2.5inch jack splitter with my verizon vogue
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
The headset icon is one everyone's phone that is using mssmision's newest cupcake build. I am not sure of the reason that it is there, but I do not think that it affects anything adversely, except aesthetically. The only thing it may affect, is if a headset is plugged in, but I have not tested that yet.

All in all, it is really not an issue to be worried about. Enjoy the build.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
*THANK YOU FOR THE LOG!!!* I can tell from reading through it that the radio wouldn't start because for whatever reason the data connection is already up at startup... this is likely due to windows having an active connection already. I'll look at what needs to be done to drop it... so far the only command I've found to hang up data is ATH, but sending ATH will also hang up any voice calls you are in, so if it decides to hang up data mid-call your voice call would go away too... I don't like that option, so I'll investigate alternatives.

golfnz34me: are you using the rootfs from the 16th? the radio shouldn't be disappearing and not coming back... but if you are using the old rootfs, when data went down, the radio went away... And, when the battery notification comes in, android turns off data.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] BenRivera:
I have been known to ask stupid questions when I don't have enough coffee in me..... :eek:

But I don't have anything pluged in... headset or headphones, not even power.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
:) I'm pretty sure it doesn't work for our build. It's something carried over from the port.

Okay I updated the rootfs again this morning, it hopefully won't have the radio lockups anymore... Comments are welcome, of course.

Install apps without using a data connection?

If I want to install apps without a data connection, do I need to use the Android Development app?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
You might try the old AndroidApps folder technique. Create a folder called AndroidApps (case sensitive) don the root of your sd card (where all your other android files are) and put your apk's there. Not sure if it still works that way, but it's worth a try.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
My settings from the calibrate screen app are not being saved across reboots, even though I set, tested, then saved the settings. Do I need to be in 320*480 for ti to save? If so, can I then revert back to 320*428 on the next boot and retain my settings?

A lot of the time when i hit the end button to go to home it shows a black screen with HTC written on it for a few seconds, then i get a pop up box that says loading and then it goes back to normal. The issue is that this might take up to 1 minute after i go back to the home screen where the phone is unusable
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
Sounds like you are using a Hero Build?

That wait time is just the TouchFlo interface loading. It is slow on our phones, just the nature of the build.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] katmandu421:
bump. Anybody?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
To the above post: the keys are not mapped in the system image, but rather in the zImage. I think at this point everyone is using the remapped keys, so they are universal.

As for your problem, I am using 320x428 and the calibration seems to be fine between loads. It used to be off every time I restarted, but it wasn't really a pain to just hit the two points, test, and save till it worked.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
Okay, there's a rootfs and a zimage on the code site that state Bluetooth is "sort of" enabled. I can't find any info on this. What is it all about? What is "sort of"? THANKS.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
It's not 100% and doesn't have power saving etc in it. But it will turn on and scan and connect to varying devices.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] natefish:
so, by varying devices, do you mean I should just try and see or just certain BT profiles? Also, is it just for cupcake or also for Hero? THANKS.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] TheKartus:
As far as I know, the current implementation can be thought of more as a proof of concept sort of thing. It won't find the profiles so its not necessarily useable. Audio in handsfree sets still comes out of the phone, but audio in is picked up... some audio will go through but lag and stutter...

But, the major hurdle in getting bluetooth to work has been overcome. So the finish line is near.
