Ok, clarification time..... And yes, I do work for Sprint.

We do not allow SERO plans anymore. While many of you may be on SERO plans, it is because at this point in time you have been grandfathered in. If you were in a particular plan prior to a plan change being made company wide you will be able to maintain your existing plan but you cannot add it onto a new plan. IE. if someone is on the old Fair and Flex family plan, they would be able to maintain said plan, but if they needed to add more minutes or a new line to the plan, they would be required to switch over to one of our current plans.

Approx, 5-6 months ago SERO plans stopped being offered and instead were switched over to a new syle of plan called an advantage plan(if created by a sprint employee) or in the case of the SERO replacement, Everything Plus plans (which require an employee's email and ID).

As far as your phone purchase, it is dependent on what Sprint requires for the particular phone. The reason you cannot have an instinct or pre on a SERO plan is because it is only allowed in one of two plans, either the Everything Data or Simply Everything, no exceptions. As it currently stands, WinMo phones do not require a specific plan hence the reason they are so widely accepted in a SERO plan.

As far as our upcoming Android phone, nothing has yet to be "released" specifying which plan it will be required to maintain. If it follows suit on our new feature rich releases, you'd better believe though that it would infact require one of the two afforementioned plans.
[Touch Pro CDMA] b727pilot:
Thanks for all the news. Nice to have someone with some knowledge and that works for Sprint respond on the subject.

Let me be the first to say though that if they (Sprint) does require me to upgrade my Sero plan then there is no longer a reason to stay with them. Better phones, in my opinion, are available else where. The Sero has kept me with Sprint but without that I will find better phones else where.

Hope they (Sprint) realize the churn in customers is going to increase.

My 2 cents, I could be wrong
[Touch Pro CDMA] ace.app:
i understand the grandfathering of a plan, and that no new SERO plans allowed, but what about transfer of responsibility of an account whose contract is still active? Is that an exception?

[Touch CDMA General] edru:
So I have my vogue fully flashed to cricKet - data and all - works fine. I then loaded Android to the mSD card and most builds I find work fine. I was able to edit the default.txt with the needed username/password info - then went into the connection settings and edited the APN for "Android" to reflect the correct proxy settings and user name - left most of the stuff as it was - and I got data working fine now.

My problem is this:

I cant sync my Google Account. It will never connect. So was wondering if anyone had any info on this.

My theory is that its connecting the same way in which WinMo would connect to an IMAP or POP server for Outlook. cricKet will not allow that some how - even though exchange sync works with google. So I'm thinking that may be the cause.

I attempted to go into DevTools and use the Googe Account option to see if there as anything in there to mess with but i would receive and error and it would terminate before I would even see anything.

Is it possible to add a proxy/port setting in defulat.txt that might help it? (I know you cant do that now, but wondering if someone added it in the code if it would help at all)

Again I'm not sure if this is the cause for it not connecting - just trying to find a group of people who may be doing the same thing I am.
[General Questions and Answers] astromark:
Is anyone aware of an offline reader for this and other forums?

Some threads are too darned long and interesting to read sat at a PC... but would be good to read on a device like the HD, especially if one isn't thinking about posting.

Now there is one piece of software I have found for desktops - Forum Pilot but it seems unstable, but it demonstrates what I am on about.

Now if only something similar existed for Winmo... :)

Hi

I have grown to love TouchFlo on my TP2. I used to run SPB mobile 3 on my xperia but on my TP2 TouchFlo wins hands down.

My only gripe is the weather app. On SPB mobile 3, the weather app showed a breakdown of the forecast for the day i.e. morning, afternoon, evening and night. I used to find this really useful. ON TF3D, it just shows a general forecast for the whole day with no breakdown. I really miss this function.

I know I could install a 3rd party weather app that might do this but I would really love to incorporate it into the weather tab in TF3D. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for any help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petzku:
100+

That would be a nice feature to have. But I think it's too hard to modify manila to show the weather like that. Or is it??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pyper70:
I was wondering how hard it is to actually perform a keyboard replacement. There is nothing wrong with the actual keys of my Tilt but the buttons underneath don't always register, particularly the "H" and the "E". I was looking over the replace pictures for the keyboard here:

http://www.mikechannon.net/PDF%20Manuals/Replacing%20the%20LCD%20on%20a%20Kaiser.pdf

Doesn't seem toooo bad. I build computers on the side and have most of the tools. Whats the actual part under the keypad I should be asking for? "Keyboard PCB"???? Anyone have a reputable place I can buy it from? Do I need to reload any CAB files after this install?

I figure since I am taking it apart I should replace the touch screen. Theres nothing wrong with the LCD itself as I have never dropped it (knocks on wood) its just the top mylar protective screen that a bit scratched up. What is that part called?

How many have replaced these parts? What the rate of bricking my Tilt after I attempt this? Do you regret doing it (even successfully) and wish you had just sent it in to a professional service shop and paid the dough to have it done?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Any reason you posted this twice? Make sure to get some really really really small screw drivers and hex drivers.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] carhigh:
Cant et nothing by these people here on this forum. Good lord.

Anyways, ill try and actualy be poductive instead of just padding my pot count.

I have 2 tilts that need keyboards. I ordered the ones that come mounted on the slider part, so its take it apart and put it back together. Both came in from the ebay seller and they were both trash. I just sent them back and waiting for new ones.

I say the other kind on ebay as well, (just the keyboard) but have no clue how its mounted. I have read hours upon hours and countless documents and still cant seem to find anything that gives a clue.

I will find out though. Once the new ones come in and i take the phones apart and put the new ones in, the old ones are gonna tell me for next time. I will post my findings in the post i made a few days ago. The keyboards are only sent to and coming from one state over, so it shouldnt be long .......... IF they actualy send me good ones this time.

I have a full jewelers screwdriver set with Torx, Allen, philips and flat. Gonna try to use the handle of a nail file where its thin and no ribbing for the separation process of the body. Does HTC sell replacement parts? I'd rather do this one time and wouldn't mind paying the extra few bucks for a decent keyboard PCB as to not have to do it 2/3 times a year.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] carhigh:
I got an email back from a seller on ebay who sells just keyboard. He told me it just sticks on with adhesive tape.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
The cnn site sells good parts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Okay........ so here is what you do, seeing as you have added nothing constructive to this forum , during your extensive membership and vast posting history, except of course to pad your post count by accusing other people of just padding their post count.

Just take apart your phone while videoing and documenting the whole process. Change the keyboard and or keys and then reassemble the entire phone. Document all the steps and the tools needed. Then post the video on YouTube and link it in your signature.

Then for the next two years or two thousand posts, you can field question after question about how to replace a keyboard. And for the next two years, you can answer, check my sig for video and instructions............check my sig for instructions...............check my sig for instructions.

And when your all done with this, and you have answered the same questions a thousand times. Let's see if for one small minute you get the urge to say " can you at least make a small effort to f**ing search ? "

And of course I'll be right there to say ......" padding your post count again carhigh ?" :p

Looking forward to your tutorial on swapping out keyboards, it will be a great addition to the wiki and the forum. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pyper70:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AGY:
I usually don't post to much but I re-searched alot of valuable information.

I just fixed my tytn II after an accident in Disneyland broken screen and damage keyboard. the process is very simple and the best guide I found was in you tube search for it.

I also bought my spares from an ebay great store. I was very surprised with the quality and fast deliviery of the parts no to mention they included all the tools required. US Canada in 3 days:eek:

http://myworld.ebay.com/gadgettown/

i hope this help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pyper70:
Thanks Agy...I found the LCD replacement but I emailed him about the keyboard. How long did it take you to replace? Through all the ebay sellers he is the first one I see that offers the tools to do the job in there as well.

Thanks for the heads up

Pete
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AGY:
About 45 minutes. I was very slow I didn't want to screwup anything but I did:( I broke the little brown lock that attaches the orange nylon band from the keyboard to the motherboard I figure it out how to fix it however if anybody knows where to get a new one will be appreciate.

my only recommendation is to be careful with that little lock other than that once you open it for the first time the next will take about 10 min :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pyper70:
He doesnt stock the keyboard PCB anymore so I guess I am still SOL for now....

zimage

:

05/02/09 - zimage from rogro (added latest changes from dzo)

04/02/09 - zimage from rogro (fixed power collapse from dzo)

01/02/09 - zimage from rogro (full audio support, in-call audio and mic are working)

30/01/09 - zimage from rogro (able to set the brightness from the settings in Android.)

28/01/09 - zimage from rogro (mtype set at 1723 in the default.txt, like "set MTYPE 1723")

25/01/09 - zimage from rogro (with working backlight and keypadlight.) great work rogro !!

22/01/09 - Rogro posted a new zimage - zimage

20/01/09 - Latest zimage from rogro82 zimage

19/01/09 - Android Vogue package android-19-01-09.zip Latest zimage from rogro82 zimage

Boot:

Copy all files to the root of your sd card, replace zimage (with the one from rogro82) and run haret (included).

What's working:

- Calander

- IM

- Market

- Google Mail

- Email

- SMS

- Audio

- Dialer

- Adding Contact

- Import Contact from Sim

- Calling the added Contact

- Internet

- Google Maps

- Phone calls (with full audio support)

- Turn screen on/off without problems

- Buttons are mapped right

Known issues:

- Telefone isn't disconnecting when pressing red button (you must press the on/off button)

Solution for screen flickering:

Use "board-htcvogue.panel_type=3" in default.txt

Internet isn't working:

Besure that you have a active data connection in Windows Mobile -> Boot Android -> lauch Togga and click on "Connect"

If you can't find "Togga":

You should just make a folder called "AndroidApps" in the root of the sd card and put this file in there:

http://retrobits.googlecode.com/files/Togga_103.apk

It installs when android starts. Now you should have "Togga" in your programs list.

Solution for "No Network" "Not Registered"

You must disable sim pin in winmo, than run haret.

Good job! Finally a thread where everyone can put there issues with Android without spamming the development thread.

You could add some known issues and answers to the startpost if you want (see below).

Known issues:

- Audio isn't working

- Starting camera results in a crash

- Screen displacement while turning screen on (temporary solution: click power button until screen is aligned right)

- Mapping buttons not optimal

Solution for screen flickering: use "board-htcvogue.panel_type=3" in default.txt

Internet isn't working: Besure that you have a active data connection in Windows Mobile -> Boot Android -> lauch Togga and click on "Connect"

And maybe add what works and what doesn't work.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pananza:
Android boot's fine, and calls seem to work as well. But that is Togga? I've searched the forum and looked around in the Android menues without getting any wiser.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] radem205:
You can find Togga at the bottom of the main menu (be sure that you have the latest files from dzo (16-01-2009 or 19-01-2009, see startpost).

When you launch Togga and click on "connect" then Togga setup a data connection.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Michel82:
I have a question more than a new bug; Is the android version in these downloads some kind of testing or special development version? Because i miss certain options that are available on the G1 (like Gmail for instance). I would like to check out how android integrates with my google apps account. Calendar, Contact and Gmail i mean. And, if so, is there a way to update to a full version of android without losing the kernel stuff?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] marcelkordek:
If you can't find "Togga" in your programs list then you should just make a folder called "AndroidApps" in the root of the sd card and put this file in there:

It installs when android starts. Now you should have "Togga" in your programs list.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] radem205:
Maybe adding this into the startpost? And maybe it is clarifying to setup the different solutions as follows:

Internet isn't working

blablabla

I can't find Togga

Download Togga at http://....

Keep up the great work!

Android isn't a specific development or testing version (for as far as I know). I think when Android is fully working all these applications will be working too.

I'm getting a "Kernel Panic". It says that something is "not syncing".

- Radio 1.59.44.02

- Active internet connection (WiFi)

- The file I extracted to the root of my SD card is:

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] craigad:
Two things:

your active internet connection needs to be via gprs rather than wifi - there are no wifi drivers available yet.

you need to replace the Zimage that you have now with the one listed from rogro at the top of this thread.

hope that helps

/craigad
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] marcelkordek:
Use data.gz, haret.exe, initrd.gz, system.img and default.txt from latest android files 19-01-09

use rogro's latest zimage http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=147804&d=1232304684

WIFI don't work yet.

You must have a gprs/umts connection in winmo to get internet running.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] SuperJMN:
Doing this way it works perfectly! Thanks a lot :D

It has a very slow startup.

SIM contacts are not accesed.

- Phone OK

- Internet Browser OK (some problems pressing buttons)

- Google Maps OK

- The search with Google at the right side of the home screen is not working. I could not enter any text. The keyboard just didn't appear.

Quite good, indeed!!! It looks amazing. What a big difference in the interface design... compared to Windows Mobile :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] marcelkordek:
Only the first startup is slow, the second should be faster.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] euti:
i use the last zimage from rogro. it works and boots without problems.

good work.:cool:

some more things wich don't really work: :mad:

- Calendar is not opening

- telefone is not disconnecting when i press the red button

- gallery is not working - because of camera problem ? but i can access my photos over OI File Manager and over the wallpaper-menu

- IM is not opening

sound is disabled because of my old radio (1.59.42.15)... :confused:

which is the last version i should flash on my device to get it work?

i can connect to internet with togga - it shows me ip and everything - but neither google maps nor email nor browser find this connection. (server not found) also a radio issue?:confused:

Making good progress!

Hi Everyone,

First off, thank you again to marcelkordek for starting this thread, using the instructions at the beginning I was able to get a working setup that I look forward to testing up coming zimages with. This is the first time I have been able to connect to the web and make calls with Android on my phone!!!

I can pretty much confirm all the listed known bugs but can also add the following one.

*Cannot import contacts from SIM gives an error 'No contacts on your SIM card'.

Polaris - HTC Touch Curise.

M-Amime 2.0 WWE

1.59.44.02

Also is there a way to exit out of Android back to Windows Mobile instead of doing a reset?

Cheers

Ben
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cr1960:
Congrats to the developers, and to marcelkordek for creating this thread.

Running fast and most importantly stable - can really see this being a viable alternative once the audio, contacts, calendar and sms/email bugs are sorted out.

Looking forward to the next update!

As there's nothing to 'install' (just copy stuff to the root of your memory card) I encourage everyone to take a look at this. Once you've finished playing, just soft reset and you're back to your Windows ROM.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pt-1:
Should we overwrite the zimage that comes with the 19-01-01 Android Package with the one from rogro82 ..?

I used the one from the extra archive.

Maybe also worth to include on the 1st post that after copying everything into the root directory you just start haret.exe

I can finally turn on Data ROaming without android crashing, but it's still giving me the message "You have lost connection because you left your home network with data roaming turned off ", even though it's turned on (green checkmark beside data roaming)

Freeze

I downloaded the new zImage from 10-02. But now it always freeze when haret is at 100%. I could see that the device works in the background cause, when i wait a moment, then the display goes darker and after another 15 seconds the display and the lights are off.

What could i do to resolve this problem.

Another problem is that i couldn't establish a internet connection. GPRS is on in WinMo. After starting haret and starting Togga it is trying three times but fails.

Any suggestion??
