Definitely not complaining - just seeing if this is a common issue or not. I let it go one night and it "died" out of android because it thought the battery was dead - ended up booting back into WinMo with 1/2 a battery life left.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] prairiefire:
i get this phenomenon too (battery level indicator is quite different with its battery status than winmo and also goes up from time to time), however i agree with craig0r that it's not a priority for me.

Please go to the thread and reply with the size of your data images.

It's really not that much faster... I can barely tell anyway.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
This is because I don't take the battery temperature into account when working out the capacity. When it's cold it reads low and when it's hot it reads high. If someone wants to do some experiments putting their phone in the freezer and noting down the battery readings (cat /sys/class/vogue_hw/battery) as it warms up for various battery capacities we could get it calibrated.

why can't i pull up a keyboard to type anything? i have the latest android version installed! :confused:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
if you have the latest version from google code, just tap the input box and a keyboard will appear.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i did and nothing pops up?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
try holding down your finger on an input box (not the google search one... best to go into the browser)

Then, you should get the option to choose the input method, pick touch input and see if you get a keyboard then.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
nope, nothing im afraid.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
did you get the menu to pop up? is your touch screen working? I'll need some more details...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
my touch screen is working, but i had no menu pop up at all. im trying a fresh reinstall right now to see if it helps? other than no keyboard it is working fine, phone and everything!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
sounds like the touch screen isn't aligned right... as soon as you put your finger on the input box it should get a halo around it, and if you keep holding it down a menu should pop up.

Bluetooth tethering

Wow! if Bluetooth works on XV6900 Android then this program for bluetooth tethering should work too! http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

I currently have to switch back to WM 6.5 and run WMWifiRouter to work; until bluetooth works on Android.

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Okay, if you see a purplish keyboard, then you aren't using the latest stuff. Wipe out your sdcard and start over, link in the first post, download the latest bundle.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i did download the latest bundle. the only way i can get android to work on my phone is by first downloading the old cab installer, then replacing the files with the newer ones. if i just manually put the files on my sd card when it boots i get errors.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
What errors do you get? This is why things aren't working... the cab installer is about 6 months out of date.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
cannot find system image. my sd card is not empty so you know. im installing android under program files on my sd card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
There is a very specific reason the instructions say to put *all* of the files in the ROOT of your SD card. Please try that and let us know how it goes. Before you do that, please make sure that there is no data.img or data.gz in the root of your SD card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
does my sd card have to be empty and formatted a certain way? if it does than i guess i cant run android as i have to many apps on there.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
when you say root what do you mean by that? right now it is under program files on my sd card. as i said my card is not empty, it has other music and apps on it!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sequen:
Root means "\storage card" or in other words do not copy the files to a folder on the sd card just simply copy them to the card, no folders
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
so basically my sd card has to be empty and formatted then? if that's the case i guess i cant play with android. is there a way to partition my sd card so i can put android alone on half and my other apps on the other half?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drprince89:
you just have to extract the image and copy all the files to the base of your sd card, nothing else, unless your card itself has issues, which you wouldnt know yet. After all the files are on your sd card run haret.exe
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
it doesn't have to be empty or formatted, you just need to move the files from "\storage card\program files" to "\storage card"

So if you look at storage card in file explorer on your phone you should see a whole bunch of your stuff as well as system.img, haret.exe, initrd.gz, zImage, default.txt, and a folder called "media"
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:

thanks for the help guys, i got it working now. can you guys recommend any great apps to have for android? also how can i customize the clock and such?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] prairiefire:
out of curiosity, since i'm on Bell and thus do not have a touch with wifi capabilities, would my service provider know that i was tethering using bluetooth (subject to crazy high bills) or would it appear that i'm only obtaining data through the 'mobile browser' plan? (if my question makes any sense)

2 questions

1.) why cant i set a wallpaper without having to crop it first? :mad:

2.) i can't access the market place, i keep getting errors and crashes with google? :confused:

seems to me that android is pretty buggy still! :eek:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
1) The android wallpaper is a specific size and shape. If you try and use an image that is proportioned differently, then naturally some of it will have to be cut off. At least Android lets you choose just how to crop it. WinMo just cuts off where it feels like when you set a non-standard wallpaper.

2) Did you set up your google account in the first-run wizard? If you didn't, you'll need to set that up. I can't recall exactly where it is in the settings, but maybe someone else will be kind enough to post it, or you can dig around the forums for it, it's there somewhere. If you did set up your google account, do your email and calendar sync properly?

and yeah, android's still pretty buggy, but it's a work in progress. For the most part (just waiting on bluetooth and audio) it's a usable setup. I would hate to go back to WinMo full time.

Heres my question.. What was the weather widget initially available in this version Ion Android? I downloaded the latest version and it is no longer available, and any others I try are not as good for various reasons. Anyone know where to find the original weather widget?

android problem

hi yall i need some help, i have a verizon xv6900 and previous versions of android had service but on the latest build i have no service, i cant call or text anybody. can somebody please help me
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Sounds like some of your old files didn't get replaced, so you are probably using an old kernel with a new initrd or vice versa. Make sure you remove the following files from your SD card:

- zImage

- initrd.gz

- system.img

- data.img

You may need to replace your default.txt with a new one too, depending how old it is.

Then, copy all the new files to the root of your SD card. If that fails, post back in this thread, which is specifically for asking questions like this:

if you are getting no service, reboot into windows and make a phone call first, seems to fix it up on my phone.

Activity home is not responding-> just hit wait. This will likely be fixed once we have things in internal memory.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
I used to get that after switching from an older build to a newer build. Dumping my old data.img and starting from scratch fixed it. Try this if yo are using an old data.img

Are you using *everything* from the latest bundle?

And, do you have ADB working, we'll need a radio log to see what is happening, what is different in your phone from others.

Also, I'm trying out copilot from the market, looks like I won't needs iGO anymore for navigation... IF I can get it to download the maps without wifi... i'll keep y'all updated...

On bluetooth I hit a wall last couple days that I'm working through with Martin... and I think that using internal memory with a full flash is going to be my next project. It'll start out being just a slim windows rom with the other files tacked on, but will eventually have windows removed completely.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Nice, I like it.

I don't know if this is worth mentioning or not, but prior to the latest build, when I would go into wireless controls and "turn on" Bluetooth, it would just flicker and stay off. On the latest build, when I do this, it actually goes grey for about 10 seconds and says "Turning On Bluetooth." And when I rebooted back into WinMo (to actually use BT, as fate would have it) BT was turned off, where normally I have BT on all the time in WinMo.

And if I can make a small, perhaps unnecessary request for the flash rom, I would say that ActiveSync functionality should be left in tact in the slim WinMo, that way we can still sync our Calendars and Contacts through google sync.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] spiritssight:
Hello devs,

I was wondering what would be need to happen on the phone for us to flash it? What setups can I do now to get prepared? Also can this be done with OUT a windows computer as I don't use such I only use Ubuntu?

I thank you all.

Sincerely,

Christopher
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Well, I think it goes without saying that you should backup all your data, as you will be completely wiping out the memory of your phone.

As for flashing from non-windows computers, I've never tried it. Apparently there's a way to flash a ROM from your SD card, but I'm not sure how that works. It must be posted on the forums here somewhere... Once we move to a full android install (no WinMo left,) I imagine this SD card method will become important to a lot of people.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] spiritssight:
Hi Craig0r,

EDIT: Found it on ppcgeeks (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=73458)

[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Well the state we're in right now is that I think the bluetooth chip may be being turned on and off, but the communications line from the chip to the OS isn't being turned on properly. We'll get there :)

For the flash rom, to start out I may just take whosdaman's clean wm6.1 image, take out all the touchflo stuff, and add a pair of android partitions. Of the 256MB of flash memory, I'm looking at about 90MB for windows if I don't do too much slimming, 20MB for windows data, 70MB uncompressed android system, and only 75MB of android data.

So for now I may look at using jffs2 with compression for the system, and probably yaffs for the data.

EDIT...

For loading from a microSD card, it has to be regular SD, not SDHC as most of us are using... so if you still have an old mSD card around that'll help... otherwise you're better off bringing up a slim XP system in vmware player.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] craig0r:
Oh, I didn't know you couldn't use SDHC cards. Good thing I've got my old 1GB card kickin' around.

Regardless, I wouldn't go unlocking your phone through anything but a USB connection and Windows XP. So I second vilord's suggestion of a slim WinXP VM to do this. Or, go to a friend's house, you'll only have to do it once, as long as you have a non-SDHC card to flash from later.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] spiritssight:
Hello Craig0r / Vilords,

What if I don't have access to a system? I am also using the regual mSD 1gb.

I'd go with Coke 2.31 (unless there's a new version) (EDIT: Here's ImCokeMan's official thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370)

As for unlocking it, you're really best off to do it from Windows. You could try using WINE in linux, but I wouldn't.

You can get Virtual Box (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) for free, to run a Windows VM. As for Windows itself, I'm sure you could install from a normal Windows XP install disc, even if you enter an expired license key. You've got 30 days to activate windows, but you will only need it for a day.

OK, I was on the site and its says its for CDMA phones.

I am using the AT&T Tilt, sorry forget to mention before.

would I still use this or different? I also have a VM setup with Windows now.

Also what radio should I be using?

and if you don't mind can you send a link for hte rom that you recommend use? I don't use windows at all now I use only Android so the must lightist windows is fine.

Thanks again!!!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
AT&T Tilt is the same as HTC Kaiser... Since this is the vogue forum you won't be getting the right answers here.

You'll want to head to the Kaiser forum and look for roms, SPL, radio, etc there.

If you try to load a CDMA radio, SPL or ROM, you will very likely brick your device.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
You have to be careful flashing things using a virtual windows load. At least doing this from my mac has caused problems in the past, both with my XBOX and with flashing ROMs to and unlocking my Vogue. I think it may have something to do with the way the virtual machine accesses the USB ports on my mac, don't know if this would be different on ubuntu or linux. As a rule, I never flash anything requiring PC software from anything but a real PC, and I don't run any programs, shut down programs, move the mouse, or anything while it is happening. Some of it may be voodoo, but I'm a believer after spending many hours trying to figure out inconsistencies.

I am going to get started on this today. I will charge my phone to "100%" right now, put it in the freezer, and take it out when I get back from lunch (I hope 45 - 60 minutes in the freezer doesn't kill my phone) and read the battery readings every 30 seconds or so. I'll do it again when I get home from work, at whatever charge the battery has left at that point.

EDIT: Martin, since plugging the phone into USB to run cat /sys/class/vogue_hw/battery will also start charging the phone, would it be preferred to NOT plug the phone in, and instead run the command through the phone's own terminal console?
