help

this maybe sounds funny but im new to all those stuff so i sorry. but i have no idea what "sdcard root" means ? i mean i do know what sdcard is but where can i find the root thing in there?

thanksss
[Touch HD Android Development] Zailynne:
A root of a map or in this case sdcard is the first thing you get to in it. In the browser it should be, \Computer\sdcard\.

If i put it this way, in the root of the Local Disk C, is often the Windows map and the Progam files map etc.

Hope you understand my explanation... :p

Hi everybody !

Wanted to check out Android on my french Blackstone so i did for a couple of days.

It's quite stable and smooth and i will probably get the ROM as soon as it come's out :D

But for now i still can't get the 3G to work so i wonder if my WM 6.5 ROM can be the problem ?

It also seems like my device can't search for a wifi network...

I'm y the only one ?

Oh and when i start the camera app i only have a green screen instead.

Anyway nice work and can't wait to be an happy Android user ;)

(sorry if my english is not correct)
[Touch HD Android Development] diamondX04HT:
3G works for some....doesnt for others....

I am one of the unfortunate ones just like you :(

tried all the tip and tricks just couldnt get it working here on SoftBank in Japan. Althoug exactly same settings works in WinMo. Got wifi working few time...but that too not consistently sometime it works....sometimes it doesnt :(
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
The data connection is not linked at all with the WM ROM.

How do you setup the 3G connection ?

And concerning wifi, which build did you use and how did you install it ?

[Touch HD Android Development] Kael:
Hi there,

tiny question I had about screen alignement (yes it takes us WAY back to the beginning)

Could someone either send me a PM or explain it in detail below what exactly was the manipulation done to adapt Android (1.5 at that time) to the screen of the HD?

I remember that there was a refreshment issue or something like that.

It's for helping the devs at the HD2 android development, because no Android device has a 4.3" screen (as no Android device had a 3.8" screen at that time)

thanks
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
What do you mean with screen alignment ? touchscreen calibration ?

Just remove the msmts_calib=xxxxx option, kernel will ask you to calibrate.
[Touch HD Android Development] Kael:
Thanks, but it isn't calibration. The screen was blurry and nothing was distinguishable.

But at the HD2 fora they told me that Android 1.5 didn't support WVGA screens at that time.

Q:How can I reboot my HD?
[Touch HD Android Development] first_damned:

Press the red Reset button on the back of your phone. That should do it. ;)

fat32

Hiya. Sorry if this has been asked before, but searching gave me too many hits (on fat32 that is):

how do I check what filesystem my SD card is currently formatted as? Couldn't find any info in WinMo under settings, or on the properties of the SD card.

Thnx,

=7
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Why do you ask that ... ?

I mean how related to android is it ?
[Touch HD Android Development] paulojmlopes:
if your sdcard is from Transcend it wont work.
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Might work with

msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave

in the cmdline.
[Touch HD Android Development] Seven_PRX:
Well, step 2 of the installation says:

2- Format your sdcard fat32

;-) So that's why. It could be that my SD card if NTFS formatted, if WinMo supports that, no idea. Is FAT32 the default FS for WinMo?

=7
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
WinMo handles only FAT, no NTFS, so it's fine as long as WiMo can read it.
[Touch HD Android Development] Seven_PRX:
Well, FAT (aka FAT16) only goes up to 2GB, which would mean my SD can't be formatted as 8GB (which it is). So I guess you mean FAT32.

Thnx, now I will go try Android.

[Touch HD Android Development] Neo-Dragon:
Everything boots fine, but none of the buttons/touch works.

Any suggestions.

Edit:

It seems that the phone is freezing completely.

I don't have a sim inserted so maybe this could be the problem?
[Touch HD Android Development] sjmcinness:
Actually it's country, and potentially carrier, dependent. In Australia + is equvalent to dialing 0011.

But what you're trying to do with the SMSC number is convert it from a full international number to a full national number within your country. i.e. for me on Vodafone AU:

+61 415 011 501 became 0415 011 501, where 61 is the country code for Australia and 0 is the national trunk dialling prefix.

You would need to drop the +44 and replace it with your national trunk dialling prefix, which should be 0. i.e. a London number goes from +44 20 xxxx xxxx to 020 xxxx xxxx, so for O2 you would either use:

07802000332 for Pay Monthly or 07802092035 for Pay & Go

Hope this helps.
[Touch HD Android Development] Lead foot:
I'm just rubbish at this, I tried:

AT+CSCA="07803000332" but that doesn't work then AT+CSCA="007803000332"

[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
it should change language automatically, don't know if there's swedish in this rom.
[Touch HD Android Development] sjmcinness:
Perhaps try AT+CSCA="07803000332",129. This means that it is not sure if it is a full international number. It's meant to automatically appended the ,129 if the number doesn't start with +. Mine (T8285) did.

If it still doesn't work, it could be a carrier specific issue.

I am using android for 4 moths now . im really happy that you devs work so hard, but have only 1 problem sins the start 3g Wont work .

i have an BLAC100

apn = live.vodafone.com

login vodafone

i have filled this in the android menu and also in the startup.txt file but nothing seems to work . my diamond also have this problem is this a known problem for vodafone netherlands ? or ame i doing something wrong .

Thank you

[Touch HD Android Development] younxta:
I'm also on VodafoneNL and find the same problem in all the latest builds. The only time 3G worked was couple of months ago, with one of TuxHero's builds by entering the apn manually in the startup.txt. It might be the vodafone proxy or something thats blocking the connection. I remember that Groovefish couldn't connect in Windows Mobile. After i deleted the proxy setting, it worked perfectly.
[Touch HD Android Development] TheNose:
The vodafone proxy sucks, why do they keep it in their standard settings anyway? It breaks everything!
[Touch HD Android Development] ReijMan:
This is very off-topic i think, and mentioned many times before.

Vodafone Netherlands Internet doesn't work (yet) in current builts. There is

already a bug-report and I hope 'people' are working on it.

You don't need to set proxy settings (not in WinMo not in Android).

I did follow all the instructions and downloaded the latest zImage and rootfs but no matter what I do, android doesnt boot up 4me. Thried 3 differen version so far and every time when I run Haret this is what happens: I dont get any errors it boots up loading stuff after I get past the linux stage, the screen goes blank but with the light on and all buttons are frozen. No change after 5-10min and a few SR. Got to SR or pull the battery out to get the phone running again.
