acknowledged. but for daily use there should be following improvements:

1. Sleep Mode -> shut off display. I think that drains a lot of battery.

2. Battery itself -> drains really to fast. a half day is possible only :(

3. GPS -> i really love to use GPS with my HD. I hope it will be enabled sometimes :)

4. Camera -> take some shots is really useable sometimes. Today, my camera is really only flickering in different colors :D

5. Touch -> this is REALLY bad. Calibrate the screen would help. but i don't got any calibration working :( the onscreen keyboard is a little bit buggy. it takes round about 75% of my taps only.

But as stated: this is a really impressing release. BUT today, for daily use, winmo at Touch HD is better and more stable.
[Touch HD Android Development] k-zik:
I totally agree with you,it need some extra work,but it's on the road!!!The guys are working so hard to port it as well as possible,we have just to wait until they finished!!

at the start of the project,no one tought that android could be port it,and to get the necessary fonctions (phone,sms,audio...) working,but today we had these essentials and we still waiting for extra more!!!

Android it's on the way,so prepare your self for it!!!;)

[Touch HD Android Development] kieboy:
Great! it is him! thanks.
[Touch HD Android Development] brumbrum:
this is totally great!

Waiting until somebody have figured out how to create a rom that is flashable with android.

know that is no easy work, but it is the final thing that would make me use android on the HD for everyday use.
[Touch HD Android Development] kickr:
Very great :)

I am waiting so long to play with Android on my blackstone :)

-SMS working for me

-Phone is working

and - jesus - ist android :)

Wifi/BT not tested yet.

But there are some bugs:

-Incoming Call (it takes a long time, that the phone is showing me that someone is calling)

-Wake up (ok you know that)

-Have to press very hard on the screen :(

-Search funciton in Market seems not working correctly (turn back to homescreen sometimes)

-Can´t take the contacts from the SIM

But you guys do a great job, keep it on!
[Touch HD Android Development] LukeH:
With latest build I can't connect to wifi. When I turn on wifi HD show me "Unable to scan wifi" and after restart wifi it show me "unable to start wifi"

BT turn on perfect

wake up - I have both hand left, because i don't know how I can wake up on one touch
[Touch HD Android Development] kniffo80:
are you using REALLY the lastest builds?

wakeup -> simply press home (it should vibrate) and wait a few seconds ... that's it!
[Touch HD Android Development] k-zik:
If you use last builds with the last image,you will not have to press the home button to wake up the phone,simply click on the power button & VOILA!!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] Zailynne:
It seems that sms is working for so many people... But why not for me? :confused:

[Touch HD Android Development] rickead2000:
Can anyone point me in the right direction of getting data working?

I'm on Orange in the UK and I have no net connection. Is there anything specific I need to do?

Thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] k-zik:
Well for the Data you can get it working as described here:

Step 1.

Open your default.txt or startup.txt and add the bolded/underlined lines:

ppp.apn=**** ppp.username=**** ppp.password=****

After Adding these lines your startup.txt or default.txt should be something like this:

set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/ console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=3 zmgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p1 imgdevnum=1 imgdir=/ msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f clock-7x00.a11=528

ppp.apn=3services ppp.username=none ppp.password=none

lcd.density=185 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"

boot

Modify ppp.apn=**** ppp.username=**** ppp.password=**** according to your carrier,you can find these+specific config for each carrier,on one of the websites below:

http://www.androidonhtc.com/carrier_network_settings

http://www.flexispy.com/Mobile APN...use GPRS.htm

http://www.niklaus.co.uk/blog/extras/APN_EN.html

For Orange UK,the config is down & you can also add specific details:

Step 2.

Enable your Data connection within WM and make sure its still active when you boot into Haret.

(Notice that your device may now be sluggish due to enabling data connection.)

Step 3.

Once your in Android open the program tab and goto Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile networks>Access Point Names

Now press the home button and add a new APN.

Enter your details from one of the 3 links above. Once you finished entering all details. press home button and save APN.

(Note that you will not be able to see the APN after you saved it. After all the steps in this and you achieve the connection, you then will see the APN details in there)

Step 4.

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

Step 5.

Now go back to the Android Today screen and hold the Call End button and select Airplane mode and wait until you lose the signal.

Once the signal is gone hold the Call End Button and re-enable airplane mode.

At this point it is now just the waiting game.

It Works on raphael and Diamond & it can also work on Blackstone since it's the same build & the same kernel!!!!
[Touch HD Android Development] thethegent:
I have the same problem as this, I tried using network settings manually, connected for a few seconds then completely went.
[Touch HD Android Development] brumbrum:
Trying latest kernel and latest builds...

Still same problem as always: Android works perfect for 3-3.5 minutes, then completly freeze. No reaction on any button. No reaction on power-button. Nothing happens even if I leave it like this for 5+ minutes.

Anyone can tell me what is wrong?

It is during usage this happens, so this is not sleep-mode.

---

Tryed enter sleep-mode, and it worked to wake the phone up again. But still hangs after minutes of usage.

Anyone got any idea? Please? Doesn't matter what rom I use. Tryed Miri, tryed Dutty, now using PhamQuang (V80), still same result.

---

Now I even have tryed to reformat the memorycard, and I also tryed another memorycard. Still same problem. Does I do anything wrong or is there anything wrong with my phone?

---

I just figured out a thing: If I (very fast when Android has started) enter settings and enter Flightmode, then the system will not freeze/lock. It is usable. I played around with the system for over 10 minutes without any problem. But as soon as I uncheck Flightmode the system gets a little slower, the suddenly: Total freeze.

I hope somebody knows what the problems can be and help me... really wanna try out android on the blackstone for more then 3 minutes and with net enabled so I can use the phone, sms and data-transmission.

---

I have found the problem! The simcard!

When using another simcard it works! Not perfect, but no freezes anymore.

The one that didn't work, and that makes the phone freeze is a Tele2 Sweden Sim card.

The one that work is a Telenor Sweden sim card.

Can anyone explain this for me? And is there any way to make my "real" (Tele2) card work?

I even can use internet on the Telenor-card :-)
[Touch HD Android Development] Don_Diego:
Same problem here for me. My wifi is protected by mac address. I have put the option in startup.txt (wifi.mac=xx.xx...), was working fine with the 21/11 image, but not with the 29/11-21:25 image.

I will try 25/11 image.
[Touch HD Android Development] judas7:
Tested on a blackstone under winmo 6.5. With the zImage Sun Nov 29 21:25:34 2009 +0100

Everything works perfect but I think you want to hear what's is not working:

1. the screen calibration give this error

the application proceso org.isageek.dasbrennen.calibratescreen was interrupted inexpectedly. Try again

2. google maps is downsized (surely to the size of the other phone)

thanks again and trying spotify on my htc hd
[Touch HD Android Development] brumbrum:
Searching the internet for any solution about my sim-card-problem. Anyone else then me that uses Tele2 Sweden, or that have simular problems with android running on blackstone (or any device) with Tele2 Sweden simcard?
[Touch HD Android Development] Syc:
The weird thing is that Tele2 and Telenor uses the same network (atleast in Norway), so i don't think it's a network problem.
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
Sometimes, sim cards go a bit "off". I know cause i t happened to me that an iffy sim card kept freezing my old nokia!!! This seems to be what is happening to you and the solution was really simple; have a duplicate done! Good luck
[Touch HD Android Development] sugo88:
Edit: thethegent, this probably won't help you - just read your post properly! Hopefully will help someone else.

I'm Orange UK too and have it working. You need to add an APN, which can now be done via android, no need to do it via startup / default.txt.

Tap "Home" button -> Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Points Names. Tap "Home" button again -> New APN.

Name: whatever you want...

APN: orangeinternet

You can leave the rest blank.

Once you've exitted the screen, give it a minute (maybe two) and the 3G icon will appear.

Note, this may only work with modern SIMs.

On another network? Google Your network name APN settings.

Word to your mom.
[Touch HD Android Development] sugo88:
I'm using zImage-modules-20091129_212534 (zImage and modules) and hardware buttons don't wake my phone (or vibrate).

Commmit comments for this revision mention "board-htcraphael-navi.wake option." But nothing about Blackstone - unless this is a generic setting for all devices with a not-so-suitable name?
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
For those who dont like to wake.

Just Enable Bluetooth anyway.
[Touch HD Android Development] thethegent:
For the noobs here (like me), here is the latest build/kernel all unzipped and ready.

Make sure if your SD card is SDHC it is class 2, make sure it is formatted to the FAT32 file system.

Unzip the RAR found here and place the contents straight onto your card, NOT in a folder.

Disable TF3D, titanium etc, then using a file manager go to the card and start HARET, then run. You now have Android!!

To wake I found that pressing and holding the power button for a second or 2 then the home key the phone wakes quite fast.

The only problems I have found so far (all known) are:

Camera not working

Wifi a bit iffy, but works more than not

Waking not ideal

Screen isn't fully off

Battery is dead in less than a day!

Otherwise credit to the developers, this is excellent, far better than WinMo by miles!
[Touch HD Android Development] El Massman:
does this have acceleration working without tf3d running then? that'd be awesome, been waiting for that. i want to check out android with acceleration to see if it makes much difference with the smoothness of the UI but installed a rom without touchflo a while back. for some reason since then the checking of any nbh on my memory card fails and i'm running a mac so installing a new rom from windows is going to be a right pain in the ass. doable but annoying. acceleration without a new rom would be so much easier.

thanks,

marc.

ps; if not, does anyone know the likelyhood of acceleration becoming available without touchflo in the near future? if it's something that's coming there's not so much call to upgrade my rom.

thanks again
[Touch HD Android Development] thethegent:
I dont know if its faster but mine's pretty good, haven't tried it with TF3D though so I cant say.

BTW by TF3D I mean the WinMo plugin, not winmo itself. Android cannot yet be started from bootup, but Im sure its not far off
[Touch HD Android Development] kickr:
Is there a "WVGA fix" for the Apps from the market?
[Touch HD Android Development] El Massman:
yeah, i know what you meant. that's cool though. i'll give it a go anyway. i remember reading a few pages back that acceleration's enabled when there's a 3d program such as touchflo running before loading haret. the way to tell from what i read is if you have a splash screen it's working and if it's a black screen with white line top left it's not.

thanks,

marc
[Touch HD Android Development] LukeH:
Yes I have. But when I press home button, HD don´t vibrate.

When I disable TF3D before startin Haret, wake up the phone is much better and I wake up my HD everytime but I must press power button or volume before press home button.

But wifi still not working.

I using the this build Sun Nov 29 21:25:34 2009 +0100 from http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/

but this is e great project and I love Android

Startup/Default files for Blackstone

Hi guys,

I use the latest zImage, I have no SD issues, but I can only get a black screen.. I think it's just a startup/default.txt issue... I've set the lcd.density to 220 and, width to 480 and height to 800. I tried several zImage versions and several configurations but I can't get it to work on blackstone.

Could anyone post working default and startup files for Blackstone, so that I can evacuate this possible cause of error ?

Thx :)
[Touch HD Android Development] vieuxclou:
A: Just boot Windows and disable the SIM lock.

Hello everyone, i have a little problem, i don't know how to disable the sim lock:confused: i try two times, one idon't enter my pin code after windows mobile boot (android doesn't reconize my code pin) and the second time i enter my pin code normaly after windows mobile boot (the result is the same on android, it doesn't reconize my pin code) so

can you explain clearly how disable the sim lock please ?
[Touch HD Android Development] LukeH:
At WM 6.5

press phone, menu/options/PIN/PIN2 and unselect "Reguire PIN when phone is used"
[Touch HD Android Development] cvchetan:
the complete package here..

includes lcd density set to 220..

just extract ro sd card and run haret.exe..

be sure u have no old linus files on ur card coz this could cause conflics..

[Touch HD Android Development] kingofslide54:
hi guys!

just a couple of things:

accelerometer works well, but it only rotates the

screen when you rotate the phone to left. neither

right turn nor 180deg work. I dont know if its normal

in android.

and last but least, data connection in movistar spain

is still not working. but i have some clues that point

to an android problem, not to a kernel problem.

in tux's 0.2 it didnt work. however, using tux's zimage

with the 'iom variant' android files in the wiki it worked,

so it looks that what is preventing it to work is related

to thw android files, not the kernel.

thanks again for the devs.
[Touch HD Android Development] mitikos:
Do u read the first topic or when u see a link u just press it without reading the rest?

Is everithing in the first page!

In this version:

--- Accellerometer works

--- Blutooth Works

--- Screen on/off works

--- Telephone, SMS system works

--- 3G works

--- Internet connection is finally fully controlled by Android and not from startup.txt so is supposed to be easier and working better

Enjoy :)

[Touch HD Android Development] ASK768:
Nice to see this is progressing rather nicely. i would suggest megaupload.com as a good host. unlimited downloads and the link stays up until not downloaded for 30 days.

also, half the time, the part where you have to wait for not being a premium member doesnt work so you get instant downloads!
[Touch HD Android Development] DanMccoy1:
Im going to upload to ShareCash.org

I believe you can download by just entering a code like on megaupload, however if you sign up for free then you get rapidshare premium sort of speed downloads.

Double Post, Mistake, Sorry.
[Touch HD Android Development] Duncank:
Does text messaging works for everyone here? In tux version and in this version also, I can only receive messages, not send them. Is there a place where I can find settings for text messaging, or is there another explanation?

Screen rotation works, 3G works, BT works, Wifi says its unable to search for devices and the rest feels a lot smoother than previous versions! Thanks!

Android kills Windows Mobile when it boots, so there's no other choice than to soft-reset.
[Touch HD Android Development] ManuM:
yeah

so first i wanna say i followed this thread and tuxes from the beginning and was always testing with you guys =) really nice work, you guys are awesome !!! :D

so about me experience, haven't really tested much with the new build but, i tested a bit the wifi and for me its working real fine, maybe a bit slow in opening some sites in the browser but google maps was quite fast.

so keep on the work and soon we will all run our blackstones with android :D

Try reading the FAQ??
[Touch HD Android Development] brumbrum:
this sounds like the same issue I am having almost.

Try this: as soon as you enter android, goto wireless settings and enable flightmode. Also try with another simcard and see if it works.

I cant use any android-build on my hd with this simcard. I can however use my sim in the Htc ADP1 and also my wife's Htc Hero. Only with "BlackDroid" it is messing up...

gonna try solve this issue in the kernel as soon as I have time. Currently working on some applications for Sony Ericsson X10 that needs to be finished before the release that is gonna be shipped with their phones on release. Always to much work to contribute to the free world... sadly.
[Touch HD Android Development] Labodilsen:
To save battery while not using phone.

Hi.

I have found the following way, to increase the battery life.

Put Android in Flightmode.

Long press End call, press flight mode.

When the phone is done going to flight mode.

Put the phone on standby/ilde/sleep.

long press End call, when the menu pops up, short press End Call button.

OR. press Menu/home key, and when menu pops up, press End Call button.

To bring it out of standby/ilde/sleep. Dobbel press Menu/Home.

This way the phone don't heat up, and the battery will last alot longer.
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
and the phone will not receive calls :P

I've seen the comments on the latest build in the linux zImage site and all are saying wifi is ok. Is the 'ok' only meant for WPA2 type of wifi protection? Because I still can't connect to a wep protected based wifi..can't even see it, the moment I turn it on, it just shuts off and saying something about cant scan.
[Touch HD Android Development] mcdull:
Do you have the calibration file?

Hi all,

I just read this news

http://www.mobigeeks.fr/2009/12/03/htc-se-lance-dans-le-recyclage/

It's french, and only rumors for now, but they say that HTC is (maybe?) working on an official Blackstone-Android

Anyone hear something similar ?

fyi
