Vodafone NL connection

The data connection for Vodafone NL isn't working... When Android is attempting to make a connection the 3G/G flashes once and then an error message comes up with the following line: "No network connection: The page will continue loading after connection has been restored."!

I'm going to try it with a fresh install... Maybe I edited the apn settings to much!!!

In my startup.txt I added the following setting(same as in windows mobile):

ppp.apn:live.vodafone.com

ppp.username: vodafone

ppp.password:vodafone

In the apn configuration in android I added these lines:

Connection name: live.vodafone.com

APN: live.vodafone.com

Proxy: blank

Port: blank

UN: vodafone

PW: vodafone

MCC: 204

MNC: 04

The proxy and port are blank because in windows mobile I always delete the proxy... So it won't take me to the standard vodafone live pages!! With or without this setting it doesn't matter....

Can anyone tell me what the settings MCC and MNC are for??

Exchange/ActiveSync email (No calendar, contacts sync)

I have Exchange/ActiveSync email working by installing the mail.apk from the Magic forum http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4132254&postcount=1. Too bad it doesn't sync with Exchange contacts and calendar. Does anyone know if there are apk files for installing Exchange contacts and calendar? What I have researched so far is that you can only have full Exchange support (mail,contacts,calendar) using only certain ROMs, such as Hero/Rogers. Hopefully, our beloved devs will be able to port one of these ROMs to our blackstones. :D

according to the problems with the sd cards. i dont know whether anyone has suggested that alrdy but is it maybe because of the file system ppl use i use as far as i know fat32. maybe some issues with ntfs file system?

maik
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Duncank:
And maybe it is something with the ROM and/or sd-card tweaks people have installed.

I will list my specs here to give a clear view, hopefully this problem can be solved so that anyone can use Android!

Thanks for giving us this nice piece of work. Have tested the basic functionality of a mobile phone successfully.

My concern was, the device was getting heated up - other than that, dint find any serious show stoppers.

Waiting for your next release.

I run on WM6.5 Energy manila 2.5 rom / with sd card tht came with the phone.

About the non-working cards:

I have tried Transcend 8GB class 6 - does NOT work

TakeMS 16GB class 6 - does NOT work

Kingston 2GB class 2 - does work

Sandisk 8GB class 2 - does work

Original Nav'n'go 2GB class 2 - does work

All these cards are formatted as FAT32 and were tested in my Touch HD with original, nonmodified ROM. I always just booted the device, ran File explorer and then haret.exe from the card. So it seems the problem - at least in my case - is not related to ROM, any active hacks in Windows Mobile environment or some other per-device based issue.

This message appears around the "MMC timeout" errors for non working TakeMS card:

pc_clk_disable: FIXME! disabling a clock that doesn't have an ena bit: 22

When I run compatible card, there is much less such messages and it is complaining about bit 37 (or 34, text scrolled out so fast so I was unable to catch it):

pc_clk_disable: FIXME! disabling a clock that doesn't have an ena bit: 37

Just to mention - I made the same experience with Blackstone Android 1.0 from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneLinux

Hope it helps a bit...

Great work tux! Keep us posted!

One question: Where is my name at the donations list ^^?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] FabianNL:
Already tried it but doesn't worked. Problem is that USB support isn't 100% atm. Also tried manually installing drivers which HTC published for the Hero, but didn't worked either.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
try plugging in the usb n then running haret.exe.

it does detect USBNET.

maybe then the drivers might make some sense..

also try drivers for devices using android 1.5 coz hero runs android 1.6

fingers crossed..

Anyone manage to get optimus (portuguese operator working).

I tried with the diamond process

"First make sure there is an active data connection in WM

Edit startup.txt and add the following to set cmdline

ppp.apn=Optimus ppp.username=guest ppp.password=guest

start haret.exe

Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile networks>Access Point Names-> add new APN

Name: Optimus

APN: Optimus

username: guest

password: guest

mcc: 268

mnc: 03

APN type: default

-> save APN

Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Network Operators and reselect your carrier

Then activate the airplane mode, when your signal is gone deactive the airplane mode"

and other process said here on page 54

Remove Everything and install again.

Edit startup.txt and enter APN, Username and password if u don't have username and password keep them as none.

After booting into Android Got to settings->Wireless controls->Mobile networks->Access Point Name and click Home Button

Select New APN and enter Name and APN and save it by clicking Home button

That's it. as soon as u saved data connecting icon will show and dissaper wait for few mins it will show up again.

but no success.

How do you guys do with your operator? Just edit the startup.txt?

Thanks

As much as I want to play with 0.3, I can understand the need for the LCD on/off to work first.

How many times do we need to ask people here to read and search before posting stupid questions over and over again?!?

Please refer to the first posts and read:

11. This is not a ROM so stop asking for a ROM, we are not even far enough to have these versions fully running. That means that first these Androids need to work for the full 100% before thinking of a ROM!!!!!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Adrian312:
Hi,

on the page 1, tuxhero says: NO ROM until we don't have 100% function Android port on HD.

We must wait.

BTW: tuxhero, great work. Respect :)

Damn, you was faster then me. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xeonedbody:
Hey Tux...I have no personal interest in trying out Android and will stick to WM for now...but...wanted to say..

....i read ur thread a while back when you were in the very early stages of developing this and no release was out...and I remember people doubting you and they became a bit harsh on you as well...but dude...theres no bigger strike back than what you've done..actually released the Alpha version for the ROM and proved them all wrong...a remarkable step! congrats!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Roadrunner100:
Correct, our device is recognized by windows as "MSM device", which is what windows is searching for within the driver INF files, and is not able to match the device code which is listed in the INF files as USB\VID_0BB4&PID_*******_**.

This can be changed in either the Kernel (I assume) or the INF files to match correspondingly in both, and would have to be done by someone who knows his ****.

Was worth a try though :D

Meanwhile, contacts dump to SIM from WM, then import to Android does the trick nicely, which leaves the Calendar issue unresolved, unless you are willing to go via Gmail every time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
First of all, to everyone, it is totally possible to make a ROM release with this. BUT - it would be a windows mobile ROM that just was set to start HaRET after bootup.

Omega, right now, the linux system that android is running on top of "piggy backs" on windows mobile. That is, the windows mobile drivers do a lot of the "dirty work" of initializing the hardware when the phone is turned on. The Linux kernel is able to sort of "take over" the running machine, but most of its drivers are still far from able to actually startup the phone.

So, if a cook wanted to make an mega-ultra-light ROM that booted this, it might be possible. Still, there might be issues with not having enough room in the phone's system memory. But these things are possible. However, right now development seems VERY far from starting linux on a cold boot.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmmhmm1222:
hey Tux, thanks for your work, i have been thinking on this sd card issue, i have two cards one class six trand... and one other class two. Since i dont know how this thing boots, i was thinking do you think it where possible to boot from a ntfs formated card? then maybe i could make a partition on my sd card and format that one ntfs and leave the rest as fat 32.

since you probably know better then most about the boot process ill ask you :D I figure it would be worth a try if it is possible
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmmhmm1222:
people need patience, and why would anyone just wanna run linux on their phone when you can have both? sure many are "complaining" about these minor issues that will be sorted out with time, its an amazing breakthrough here and people nagging about this and that. just relax pplz.

first of all, really a nice release Tuxhero, I really like it, but as many of you others, I can't use my class 6 trancend SDHC card...

but that wasn't my problem, my problem is that i saw the game "Snakes on a Phone" and figured I would try that game. :D but when I start the game it says "Snake Press Up To Play" but I don't know where "up" is, I tried the volume buttons, and I tried all the touch buttons also, but no luck. :( so can anyone help me and tell me which button is up ? or is there even such a button? :)

v 0.3 release date plan

Hi tuxhero

I dont want to sound pushy but do you have any approximate date for the next release? Is it days, weeks or months we are talking about?

Would be nice to have more people in the project team like marketing and project manager :D:D. One person cant do all the work
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Duncank:
We're talking about days here. If you've read a few pages back, you would have known that the original release date for 0.3 was today, but by having some problems with turning the LCD back on, tuxhero moved that up till further notice.

If that LCD-thing is fixed, we're a step closer to using Android on a daily basis.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuxhero:
It's days bortek.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fards:
it is possible, I tested it the principle the other day..

Unfortunately it still meant running squashfs from the Sd card, but that's mainly because I've not worked out the proper way of running it from internal memory yet. I guess I should take some time to get familiar with initrd

still it's fairly easy to do it from the sdcard, link to haret goes into the startupfolder after first customization of windows after hard-reset/flashing .

In case anyone is tempted to start asking; android isn't ready to be used just yet as standalone on the HD, that's still a long way off..

There's still some problems like some application not taking fullscreen size (keyboard lock screen, google maps, etc...)

Don't forget to tell that GPS and camera are not working too ;)

Is there headset support or not (I suppose 'no') ?

Thanks and keep up the good work !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Major_Sarcasm:
This is pretty impressive stuff. Got it working on my mem card with no probs, 8GB that my HD came with.

Crashed the 1st time when I clicked 'tutorial'. Skipped that the next time and I got all the way to the desktop and used it for a few minutes. Fired up the browser, calculator then it locked up and rebooted.

Just fired it up now and it went to screen lock and asked me to press 'menu' to unlock. LOL, I don't have a 'menu' button.

Excellent work though, Tux. Shows promise. Just as I'm about to get a HD2. Typical ;)

Hi Tux,

nice wrk you are doing right now :)

To be honest, in the past i was not sure if you are just talking hot air or really can do this, but now my doubts are washed away :)

Will give your ALPHA0.2 a try tonight....

But just a short question:

At the moment you are working on the LCD-Backlight, but what will follow??

Perhaps you could make something like a "masterplan" in which order you will work on which feature and publish it on first page. Because i am very interested in what will follow after Backlight works *g* WiFi would be awesome as well as full-working 3G :cool:
