android is working really awesome, sometimes the screen is not reacting for a couple of seconds, but wifi is really fine for me now ;)

just a questions... is it possible to get all the contacts from WinMo to Android ? i mean with pictures and birth dates and all that...

nice work :D

Sync your WinMo phone with Google Sync ( http://m.google.com/sync ) and then just sync your android on your google account, and there you go.

Hi I'm watching this thread with great interest. So far it looks fantastic, thanks for all the hard work!

My question is, when is the next release due to come out? I'm about ready to jump in and try android but wondered if I would be better to wait for the next update.

[Touch HD Android Development] kingofslide54:
hi guys.

I have been trying to get a proper screen calibration on ubuntu with no success. Screen calibration doesnt work in android either, but looks like there's some kind of pre-calibration via haret or something. can't we get the same in ubuntu? I tried many different cmdline options, including the same 'calib' as in android, but I dont know the meaning of most of them and couldn't find a manual...

hi phhuson, thanks for trying it. have you been working on the omibuntu basis only, or tried anything different like some mid edition? It could be interesting since it's meant to work on embedded devices. I would, but have not the knowledge to do it.

sorry guys for being talking about a different linux here... we should create a new thread for that...

[Touch HD Android Development] sakkeus11:
Screen calibration on ubuntu can get work with good imagination and hard faith.Move keyboard lidle down before calibration starts and tap first left top as close you think you shut be.Next tap right top and then right bottom and then left bootom and at least middle of the screen.

[Touch HD Android Development] Uglymike:
Second that. Unless the Ubuntu port has DIRECT relevance to the Android port (eg solution for LCD on/off or so) please refrain from posting Ubuntu-on-Blackstone news, tips or guides and start a new thread. (although its interesting to know how to get Ubuntu running on Blackstone, it's irrelevant to the topic at hand...)

Are the files in the first post (files fro 15 Nov and 20 Nov ) still the best to use on Blackstone? I see people experimenting with newer zImages but there does not seem to be an 'official' thread update as yet. :confused:

I get to choose a new, free GSM this month at work. Although the HTC Magic is on offer, the current state for Andoid on Blackstone is good enough for me to NOT go for the 'old' HTC Magic. Unfortunately, my company does not offer the Hero. Also on offer, the Diamond 2 doesn't seem better than the Blackstone, the Touch 2 is a joke and I don't want a feature phone like the Samsung S8000 or LG GC900. That leaves the SonyEricsson Satio and the Nokia N97 Mini, both Symian phones. Tough choice :mad: .... I'll probably go for the N97 Mini. (I know, I know, I reprimand people to remain on topic and then go off in this direction.... Consistency is not my strong point. :D )

For those still encountering issues with SMS send/receive, below a solution that apparently works on Diamond, and is worth a try.

Thanks rattenfanger
[Touch HD Android Development] kniffo80:
yeah. just use the files postet at the first post (mix them!) and use the latest zImage from repository. this should work. the zImage Library is mixed up for diamond, touch pro and HD. they all seem to have nearly the same hardware. i just check the repository every day 10 times for updates and use the latest from there.

hehe just have a look for the new Touch HD2. this should be the best choice at the moment for a windows mobile phone. another interesting phone is the motorola droid (or in europe milestone) with android 2.0 (2.1 later) running ... this are my favorites at the moment.

[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Newer zImage are imho really too instable for daily use.

It's something I have to fix, but currently I can't see any point in using too fresh zImages, unless you know and want to do precise bugreports (with patches ? :D)
[Touch HD Android Development] Zailynne:
I used Android today pretty much. And issues I encountered was:

- The Android Browser didn't work. When I click on a map, it just kind of returns to the root of the device.

- The Screen Calibrator doesn't work. When I enter the program, it just asks me to force the closing of the program... (Sometimes it misscalculates my touch on the screen and clicks on something else on the screen. I don't know if it has to do with the Screen Calibrator)

- The Audio doesn't work. And this is something new I've only encountered on this last module release.

Overall, it's getting better and better for each release! The device doesn't heat up as much as it did before, and waking up the device works with only 1 click now unlike the earlier versions. Great job! :)

Hi.

Is there some way to let the phone boot in android unless some key combination is pressed during startup? This would be helpful when resetting due to android freezing, and I want to start in android again and not the WM box.
[Touch HD Android Development] ekampp:
Freezes after specific amount of time.

Hi there.

I'm having a bit of a problem. Android will freeze after about 5 minutes, it really doesn't matter if I'm doing heavy work or simply looking at the pretty interface. It feels (this is subjective) like something with a memory leak or overflow or something..?
[Touch HD Android Development] ekampp:
Update to the timed freeze problem

I have tried some different things, to see if I could get the problem to go away. I couldn't figure out anything, but I have further informations about the problem.

I started the music player and began to play a tune. This worked fine for about three minutes, then it began to scratch, then it simply gave out. The screen went black, the sound stopped, well that isn't completely accurate; There is still sound, but its just noise originating from the speaker still being powered by the battery.
[Touch HD Android Development] dameon12:
Maybe u should submit a bit more details like which zImage you used and which system file.

With the zImage from 6th december i could play down my battery (so about 2 hours without a crash or stuff like that).

When u encounter an error message always use the "WAIT" option as it seems the timeout for menus is set very sensitive.

I had the crashings too when i used an earlier zImage and the old system file.

and just 2 mention it:

there is an edit button in every post u made so u can pack some ideas in ONE post instead of spreading every single idea or question in a seperate post :o

- wakeup is very much harder, than in versions before

all i got till now. i think this zImage is not as usable as those before :(
[Touch HD Android Development] ekampp:
So what system file did you use? I Used the following build:

* zImage-modules-20091206_210138.tar (from http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android)

* And then the rootsf image and the rest of the stuff is from the first post here.

The problem is that I don't encounter a "wait" message, it simply freezes the screen. But apparently the battery indicater works, because the phone heats up and the battery life drops like a strone.

Yes, discovered that after(!) posting the second time =P

I have been able to run android of my ad card (so the type/version of card is not the problem) then i formatted it to fat, now I get:

[Touch HD Android Development] dameon12:
That's the point. You should try to use the updated system file from here:

http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/build-update_donut-1.6_22-11-09.7z

Copy the newer zImage and modules just over the ones that come with the package and u are ready :)

So all files you need from this release are the "rootfs" and "system.sqsh" - it would be easier to copy just these two in your sd-card root and overwrite the old ones.

The one from first post is older and i got the same errors as u in that build. But with the version in that link i didnt get one single crash until now.

Hope it helps :)
[Touch HD Android Development] ekampp:
Thank you, I will see if that works better.

In regards to my formatting problem it seems that DiskTools (Mac OS) can't format correctly in FAT32, So I had to install a windows box and format there. That solved the "Waiting for SD card" problem.

Well, I have now updated as suggested, but it's still freezing after about three seconds. I have the following build:

http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/build-update_donut-1.6_22-11-09.7z
http://zimages.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/autobuild_system/htc-msm-android/zImage-modules-20091210_235310.tar

[Touch HD Android Development] kniffo80:
hi phusson,

thx for the latest zImage. It's even better than the last ones ;-)

But if you are able to do, please check a few things for blackstone:

1. Deep Sleep mode: the backlight is still glowing a little bit if in sleep mode. If it's possible to shutdown the device to real deep sleep mode, this would be a daily use android for my blackstone.

2. WiFi: please fix it, it worked a few zImages ago nearly perfect. The last (from 12th dec) is not working :(

3. Calibration: it seems, the android at blackstone has a few problems with calibration of the touchscreen. You should reproduce this by booting anroid fresh and tapping an icon on the start page in the middle of the screen. The tap is registered EVERY time (the first only) to the left side of the screen. Calibration program is not working at my blackstone :(

4. Camera: not THAT important, however, it would be nice ^^

5. GPS: that would be awesome!

Sorry for posting my interests here, but i'm still a fan of your work and a fan of the Android System. I'm really thinking about buying a Motorla Milestone/Droid. But i'm patient :) waiting for a good release for my Blackstone.

best regards from germany

Deep sleep refers to the ARM11 CPU, and this one do works :) The problem about panel can't be easily fixed, and I don't feel like doing it without having the device.

Hum I'll take a look, but it should work as is.

Edit: Ok found the problem, trying to fix it now, but git doesn't seem to be my friend this time :/

Edit2:Glemsom's updated.

Again I've no blackstone. If you can get a precise way of having a bug, I might find a workaround, but again I don't think it can be that easy.

Already tried without much luck :/ ARM11 is just crashed by MMU. I've got some clue it's because of clocks, but it hasn't been reversed yet.

Try with latest glemsom's kernel, before it was done the wrong way.

I already have plenty of testers (not always available though) on #htc-linux, but it always take a while for someone to react ...

See the previous page.

Depends on what you means with "faster". For me android is already totally smooth, so I can't see how smoother can it be. The only problems I sometime have is when MMC gets flooded by android.process.media or spotify or app installer, which will anyway stay on MMC, so NAND won't fix that ...

Persistent black screen problem

Hi!

After running Andoid on my Touch HD I have problems with getting the device to wake up in Windows Mobile.

I know that there is a post about this, BUT, a hard reset does not work.

I have tried 6 or 7 different ROM's and even installing the stock ROM - but the problem persists.

My guess is that when running Android it makes som chenge to the power saving settings that is not removed when doing a hard reset. I can see 2 options:

1. Is it possible to run a program in Android to reset theese settings?

2. Is there any other way of doing a hard reset (I have done this SEVERAL times both ways)

Sometimes it helps pressing the powerbutton many many many times to get it to wak up, but often a soft reset is needed. And occassionally when it wakes up the screen image is upside down and mirrored :-S

Please somebody help. I need my Touch HD to work until I can get a HTC Passion...
[Touch HD Android Development] kniffo80:
I hope for the fix soon :-) so, as i said: if you need a fast tester, i'm ready ;)

Okay, Wifi is working now correctly. BUT wake up takes longer now again :(
