for me wifi isn't working

Hi

I've downloaded all the files from the first post, everythings is workng fine except WiFi, it seems to be activated, but I don't have State Icon on the top bar of Android, I have to activate Wifi 2 times to really activate Wifi, it seems to connect to my home wifi, I can put my WepKey, but always no icon showing that wifi is on.

What am I doing wrong, should the calibration file need to be at the root of the sdcard, or in a folder named calibration ?

Thanks

And the headset support (3.5 Jack & BT) and a better memory usage, and correct power management (deep sleep is a bit "too deep"), and ... and ...

Still a lot, but don't worry, everything will come once it's done ;)

[Touch HD Android Development] giniman:
Does anybody knows a fix for all the apps (googlemaps, nimbuzz, etc.) not displayed in fullscreen??? It looks like they are rendered only in vga resolution and therefore have black bars on the left, right and bottom side.

The marektplace app has sometimes a problem showing the keyboard, which is based on the wrong resolution, in my opinion :D

well tried everything in page 1. but no luck with wifi. say that cannot scan for network and in advanced settings mac address unavailable. my gprs also doesnt work but i only have my windows mobile settings. no android ones.
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
Oh yeah, let's wait for Godot, then ! :D
[Touch HD Android Development] Cyclone_storm:
Yep same problem here, I have tried everything but without success.

I also noticed that WiFi only works with WPA not with WEB. :D:D:D

Then i have a question, is there a way to exit android and going back to wm ?

Or just a trick to reboot the device without having to press the red reset button ?
[Touch HD Android Development] Bl@ck:
that's because android 1.6 supports higher resolutions, we've to wait for newer version that'll support all res.
[Touch HD Android Development] miniterror:

Hello

Great work !!!

I'm French SFR customer and I have problems sending SMS :(. (I can receive them)

Is this normal issue ?
[Touch HD Android Development] mitikos:
The only way so far to reboot the device in Android side is thru the terminal...

Open a terminal and type

su

bash

mount -tdebugfs none /dbgfs

echo 0 > /dbgfs/vreg/msmp

This will reboot the phone... but i think opening the back and press the red botton is still easier than this :)

If someone has enough knowlege to make an aplication which does it automaticly then post it here or send to me, i will stick it in first post

Enjoy :)

Now seriously... has anyone on movistar spain got gprs/3g to work? I see the 'g' icon but no way it works...

Wifi is not working either... it switches on, and either shows an 'unable to search networks' and switches off itself, or takes a long time searching but finds nothing.

rename Blackstone.txt to Default.txt and make sure it's at the Root of your SDcard.
[Touch HD Android Development] giniman:
Shouldn't it be startup.txt, or is default.txt also possible??

greetz giniman
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
Multi-touch will never work on the Blackstone as it's not supported by the hardware.
[Touch HD Android Development] aavan:
I had that problem with the wifi.

Try deleting the data.img, it's the image that keeps all your data stored (contact, sms, etc.) so unfortunately you will have to put them all back, but that did the trick for me.

If you're not sure, just rename it.

If it still don't work, erase all android-related files from your sdcard (or backup what you need to backup, and then format your sdcard to fat32)

And place the new android files.

Don't forget once you're done to copy the blackstone.txt file from /startups to your sdcard root as startup.txt.
[Touch HD Android Development] guanodude:
I also think the physical keyboard isn't supported by the hardware.

The guy probably thinks he's a joker.
[Touch HD Android Development] Roadrunner100:
The error message you got is "Cannot open script file \storage card\default.txt" Which means that Haret is expecting a file named default.txt
[Touch HD Android Development] Roadrunner100:
C'mon guyz, kingofslide54 is taking the pizz, a joke, as in funny :D
[Touch HD Android Development] zathyrx:
startup.txt or default.txt, eather way i get the error :confused:
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
Flash works fine for me; just taped a torch to my blackstone and the photos taken in the dark are excellent, much better than any crappy led flash!!!

Seriously, I can't get Movistar to work either, i had the same problem on tux's release, we'll have to be patient until somebody figures it out!!
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
hehehe I was believing that here also work the shell commands "halt" and "reboot"......... I use them in my Debian and in my OpenBSD..... But in Android they don't work...... :(

Maybe we can make a sh script to avoid typing that so long sequence......
[Touch HD Android Development] Roadrunner100:
Dude, start over again! Delete the entire package on the Root of your SDcard. Re-Download the package on the first post, unpack it, and go.

One more thing, a consequence of having to SR the device to return to WM is that the SDcard can at times get errors on it. It is sometimes worthwhile even to reformat. When doing so, make sure you format it to Fat32, and select the Allocation unit size to 32 kilobytes.
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
I was having the same problem about data with my operator WIND in Italy... I solved it by simply checking "Data roaming" in Network settings".

For me it worked.....may you give it a try......
[Touch HD Android Development] zathyrx:
Thank you..

I just needed to delete ".txt" from startup.txt Sorry :D

I have the same issue with the backlight, auto adjust is off in winmo but the backlight does not turn off in android, only noticable in the dark, looks off with room lights on. I can adjust the level up and down in android ok
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
Biggest joke of the day :D

Come on dude, can you read a topic? Here is BLACKSTONE topic, not G1 !!!
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
What a joke :)

Have we to specify in the first post that here is Blackstone?? :D
[Touch HD Android Development] jamillambert:
I am on o2 pay as you go and it works fine for me. make sure you have set up the APN correctly, details on lots of other forums. If you can login to your google account but cant access the market try using with the proxy set to 193.113.200.195 port 8080
[Touch HD Android Development] kingofslide54:
maybe it was not a great joke, but it was an obvious

joke! I even wrote 'seriously' after that.

Of course I read the whole thread, and OF COURSE

I know blackstone has none of those things, I'm

writing from one!

I won't make jokes (or bad ones, at least) again...
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
It seems it has been released now. Anyway, there are too few improvements to be worth doing in a hurry.

Use the ToggleData widget available on market.

No you have to setup it in settings => networks => mobile networks => access points or something like that.

God no, wince is killed by haret !

battery life is just a kernel driver problem.

Don't fight, both work :) default.txt doesn't start automatically when launching haret, you have to press the "start" button, while with startup.txt, it does start automatically

I'll try to fix that then. (actually it should already be, don't know what broke it.)
[Touch HD Android Development] wvernon:
Using the newest build from the first page and I'm having problems adding widgets. If I long press on the background I get a blackscreen and then the desktop refreshes. Same happens when I press the menu button and try to add that way.

Haven't had this problem with previous builds.

UPDATE - it seems to be working now. I just tried downloading the toggledata app mentioned above and now I can add any widget. Stragne.

Donut 1.6 on RAM instead of SDCard, is it possible?

Hello Guys,

When I read all work the linux team make is very great job. But I thing the only goal is to remove the Windows OS on Blackstone.

But actually, the only way to run Donut 1.6, is to run first Windows and after the haret.exe file????

So my question, is there a way to make a Donut 1.6 ROM same as standard Blacstone one, ton instal it in RAM and not on SdCard?

Thanks!

LikeM8;)
[Touch HD Android Development] Kenia1234:
Well...

First of all...really well done guys!! It's really great!!

I've only noticed this...

when I toggle wifi on...it turns on...it can find the networks and connect with them...but it actually disconnect soon after and so I can't surf in the web... :(:(
[Touch HD Android Development] LikeM8:

Do you replace the old zImage by the newest one zImage.20091115_174520??? It fix this problem...

what to do?
[Touch HD Android Development] nocomp:
hi folks,

well i just tried, and i get the "waiting for sd" bug

i guess i ll have to wait before use it, unless there is a trick for fix that?

any tips?
[Touch HD Android Development] mitikos:
Sadly no tips...

The only way is to buy a new class 2 sdcard, is very cheap.

Remember it MUST be class 2 to be sure :)

[Touch HD Android Development] chelseafcuk:
used android all day yesterday and returned to win6.5 today and the battery usage is terrible now - last about 2 hours if I don't even use the phone - any reasons?
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Good news, for me :D

Now I can run both wifi and data connections. I run the "ifconfig" command in the shell and it now see 3 network devices: Loopback (localhost), ppp (should be data) and wlan (wifi).

About data, the first time I installed android and configured the APN it didn't work, so no data transfer.

After that I deleted the APN configuration, and I created a new one with the same parameters......this second time data worked! I tested it by running the browser.

About wifi, same way it didn't worked...... the problem was that it turned on, but after a few seconds it automatically turned off.

The problem disappeared by reinstalling android again..... now all works fine....data and wifi works fine........

Maybe during the first installation the system didn't configure itself properly missing wlan configuration? Or the zImage (kernel) is upgraded?

;)

[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Try this: when you stop using Android and do a soft-reset, WinMo will start automatically.....now wait that WinMo is fulli loaded and initialed, so do another soft-reset and let WinMo rebooting again. In other words, after using Android, try to do 2 soft-resets.

Like you, I noticed a short battery life in WinMo after resetting from Android, but after the second reset battery seems to me to regain some charge.

It's only my tought, but it seems that after the first reset, WnMo doesn't boot properly, and it needs a second boot up to work normally.....
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
I wish that, as explained in the first post by Mitikos, You all understand that at the moment all is a "work in progress" and Android on blackstone is still under heavy testing.

At the moment devs on #htc-linux are working hardly and they are doing giant steps forward as you can see and try.

Now we have a working Android release on Blackstone, it's amazing :)

But these releases are not yet 100% end-user friendly, so if you decide to install them please be conscious that you do it at your own risk!

Sebastiano ;):)
[Touch HD Android Development] vdude_1:
I've read through the majority of the thread and even done a search with no luck. The phone picks the wi-fi in my house, but after entering the WPA key, it still won't connect to the network. It just says "remembered, secured with WPA". Any help would be appreciated
[Touch HD Android Development] chelseafcuk:
Tried the 2 soft reset in WinMo and still can watch the battery usage go down as I write this - just thought I'd better report this - going to hard reset now
[Touch HD Android Development] phhusson:
Mayb try to activate and disactive wifi and BT.
[Touch HD Android Development] chelseafcuk:
Both wifi and BT are off and haven't turned either on since resetting to WinMo
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Understood :confused:.... so, as phhusson said, try on WinMo to turn on and then off wifi and bluetooth....
[Touch HD Android Development] chelseafcuk:
Sorry about that - will do - here's hoping

Battery in WinMo

I have not tried the most recent versions of Android, but I did try Tuxs' the other week (0.2A), and have noticed that the battery life in WinMo drops a lot quicker than it did before... Didn't put it down to Android, until the recent posts here... Hmmmm interesting... Just thought I'd put my 2p worth in :)
[Touch HD Android Development] chelseafcuk:
Did both wifi and BT off and on a couple of times - soft reset and battery life is slightly better but still way down on the original Win6.5 battery life
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
My bad if it was a joke, but what a joke!!! :p

Seriously, when you read Tux'thread and this one, you can see both are stuffed of real stupid comments made by persons who even do not read the first and last page of the thread, so, i though you where...
[Touch HD Android Development] jdejansb:
Nope :(

Several ROMs, not working ... card is 8gig Transcend micro-sdHC (6) .... :(

btw : great work, great work !!! :)
[Touch HD Android Development] kingofslide54:
everything's all right ;)

I feel the same when somebody asks things that

are clearly explained in the first post (not only on

this forum)

BTW, being unable to get a data conection is making

me crazy! I even tried to merge files from the old

'ion' in the wiki (the last where movistar 3g worked)

with the latest zimages. wit tux's kernels it worked,

but this time it hanged, probably because merging

1.5 with 1.6...
[Touch HD Android Development] maniatico:
hi i am in t mobile usa and i have internet and i can make calls but my sms dont work can anyone help me?

thank you in adv.
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
hehehe, merging the 2 releases is the worst thing, because in a release, kernel, system and rootfs are updated together to work at their best, hoping for the future as well :p , so you merged an old release and a new one.....bad ;)

I want to point out that tux' release isn't really a tux' release :D .

He simply putted together the various files in a folder.....He developed or builded nothing in his release...... For example, as you mentioned, the Kernel is an old version of the one mostly developed and maintained by phhusson (now we use his newer version). All other files are now all old versions of ones that devs on htc-linux are developing constantly.....

About data I noticed this: the first time I created the APN it didn't work, so I deleted it..... after a few time, when the G icon disappeared, I created again the same APN and.....this second time data worked! So you may try this procedure untill data work..... I think.... :)

[Touch HD Android Development] Ryukeima:
Hopefully this has not been asked before, since I can not find it anywhere, but does anyone know how to get the mddi.width=480 mddi.height=800 commands for startup to work? On the release tuxhero made, it made it so that apps stretched to fit the screen, but on the latest releases it only works for a split second when launching an app, and then it downsizes
[Touch HD Android Development] kendalfung:
For USB cable, seems PC can't detect it, just can recharge battery.
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Have you tried to modify the startup? Me not yet but i'll try

Yes, at the moment there is not usb data support, when you connect it you can only charge the battery
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
I tried it, but it doesn't work....... applications are still resized.

Maybe it depends by kernel or system......
[Touch HD Android Development] DaVince:
I have to say that this is pretty good. :D

Most of the stuff works and I really enjoyed playing around with it. Hopefully the rest of the issues will be fixed in the future and all of the stuff working. Like the camera, screen calibration.. etc.

Btw, I find the screen responsiveness to be a bit awkward and misaligned.. I wanted to try the screen calibration but it's not yet working. Though I'm sure this will get better. Great work!
[Touch HD Android Development] eke:
Could you make the version under "Quartz" ? Devices almost identical, but this not started.
[Touch HD Android Development] mattiax:
It depends on the android build. I use the first tuxhero build v0.1 and the last zImage and modules from the htc-linux team. Applications are scaled and phone, 3gdata, auto, sleep mode works too.

BR Mattias
[Touch HD Android Development] Eitum:
It has been asked before but I couldn't find an awnser. When the screen goes off, its more luck then anything else to get him working again. any trick with that?

so and then i'm searching for a possibility to switch between vibrate and ring for the hole system.. but i think i have to take a deeper look into android for that. nothing from the rom.

p.S. is there a way out of android back to win without reseting?
[Touch HD Android Development] mattiax:
Hi htc-linux team!

I know, the power button was just added as a home button:

"Add power button as home button for raph too (why noone complained about it before ?)"

but I think it would be more useful to map it to the hang-up button. So the device could be switched off and on with the htc-powerbutton.

Hello, I have been able to flash the Stock rom using USPL .

The Phone is experience malfuntion on the camera anda on USB connection.

I dont now if this problems where made by my experience with the android but has I said before it is allot of coincidence.

Iam going to try to send it to service and see how mutch will it cost to repair.

thx for all the help.

Ps: installed the old camera app...it still gives the same error.
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
To get the screen to come back on you need to press the power button several times or try an hold it for a bit, the screen will eventually come back on, thet''s the only trick, for now it's the only way, it's 'cause the phone goes into a "deep" sleep.
[Touch HD Android Development] samsanchez88:
Sorry about the double post but i've found a solution for the battery isue. I also found that by battery was running down quite quickly (not sure it is due to android but it did coincide!!), and my battery passed from lasting over 2 days to not lasting even one (my problem was not as bad as lasting only 2 hours!!)

Anyway, I (accidentally) let my battery run all the way down until my phone switched off, i gave it a full nights charge and turned it on in the morning, also i made sure, in the comm manager, thet 3g was in "auto mode", and now my phone is back to it's good old self, it's been on for 4h now and battery hasn't even gone down 1%, and thats with 3 phone calls.
[Touch HD Android Development] vdude_1:
Posted this about 12 hours ago, but nobody has been able to help. I'm sure somebody knows the answer to this.

[Touch HD Android Development] Cyclone_storm:
I changed my network from WPA to WPA2 and now it works. Before that I had a Webs Password and had the exact same massages as you have.:D:D:D
[Touch HD Android Development] jeanfrederic:
this is the "recalibration" method. Seems batteries aren't totally "unmemorized". I mean if you want a still powerful lasting battery, you have to sometime make it running all dawn, then fully recharge it, HD switched off.
[Touch HD Android Development] auss81:
Yes, it's the better method to reset battery status.......Li-Ion batteries aren't fully without the so called memory effect.

Anyway........in my Blackstone I solved the "applications resizing" in android.....

Like everyone, me too experienced that when you run an application it resizes itself and becomes smaller than the rest of the screen...... I almost solved it by editing the startup file. I setted the parameter "lcd.density" to "240" instead of "220".

Now the entire screen is bigger, like if it has a lower resolution.... but at least applications don't resize smaller in respect of the rest of the screen.....

I think that the right "lcd.density" setting is still "220" but all applications are written to support only lowerr resolutions and not the Blackstone WVGA.....so setting it to "240" reduces the resolution bul at least it runs right the applications.

What do you think about? Please let me know.....
