If you're using a kernel/.NBH that's more recent than the 20-Feb SourceForge .nbh, you'll need to install the polymod 2.1g BT update, it contains a wlan.ko compiled for the newer kernels.

how is the wifi performance on wpa2-tkip? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] manu33xtro:
Much better : it works now. Not in first use... Hum I flash with the last kernel (19/03) and after boot I call a friend but no sound :( I test BT just after with success :) And again just after (with BT connect) I test to call again my friend and : it works :confused: I disconnect BT and it works now very good :)

I have to test wifi now : just now the High file doesn't work with my Polaris... I'm going to test the others...

Thanks, very great now I can again use your build with last kernel everyday :D

Cheers.

I'm soooo tempted myself, just can't bring myself to fork out the $530 to purchase off contract. I'm so there if they add a contract option on AT&T like T-mobile has.

On another note, 2.1g working great with bluetooth update, sound with my headset still working well. Speakerphone works here too.

Great job, :D

No offense, but that kinda goes against what this site is all about.

most people are here for the enjoyment of making this crap work.

it's no fun to just go and buy something that already works...lol

on that note. having android. with or without all the bells and whistles, and even with all the minor problems it still has...

BY FAR out performs the crappy windows mobile that came with my tilt.

even though eclair still has no camera the camera that works on donut is actually usable... I cant say I ever used the camera much when using WM. the video drivers for WM made taking pictures impossible.

Custom NBH?

I have the Tilt and I can't stand that wheel on the left not being volume. The non-tilt NBH's do it correctly (the way I want it), but there's no 3G or working keyboard symbols (@ and ! ). Also the windows button is menu for some reason, and the internet explorer button is home. YUCK! Haha! So I'm in a tough spot... Is there some way to remap the keys in the Tilt NBH?

Other than that I'm loving it!

1) WIFI running but it can't catch any network

2) BT running and it can see my LG phone, it can't see the pc (even it's not catched by the pc). BT is connected to my BT headset but I can't speak or hear through it

3) GPS: very slow to start

4) PHONE:1^ call I can't heard; I started up the loudspeaker and stopped, and I can heard. The sound call is starting only after 4-5 rings.

5) It's very slow compare to the previous Polymod version

6) The process "System" is crashing every time after the start-up

7) The process "Phone" is crashing every time I'm trying to call someone. I can receive calls but the caller can't hear me. With BT on even I can't heard anything

Great Rom Few Questions....

I really appreciate all the work you guys have put into this... The Rom is amazing I just have a few questions.... I have a Att Tilt and Flashed using HSPL 3.29... I'm using the new NBH panel 2 320 from March 19th and done updated with the 2.1g_BT.

The phone works great. The Speaker phone is awesome. But I have a really weird battery issue. First.... I can't charge my phone other than with the corded usb to outlet. (car charger doesn't work) Then.. I used the phone for about an hour and battery was full.... Left the phone over night for about 8 hours and when I woke up the batter was at 66%.... When I started to play with the phone for a bit. The battery dropped to 3% and wanted to shut down... Could this be an NBH issue?

I use eclair NBH but I don't have a clue where to add this ( Eclair you will need to add hw3d.version=1 to the command line in your default.txt ) line. Where exactly do I look for this? On the Sdcard? Please help.... Thanks ahead of time.... Until then I going to completely wipe and flash everything over.

3g

this is the first time i do this. Can't get my 3g working, anyone know what su command i can wright to get it work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
@jmcbrother, have you tried using google maps with gps? Not quite sure why it would freeze the phone, however if it does the same with google maps, then it does point to a problem with something in the system.

Offhand I can only think you are either using an older nbh, or perhaps had a bad install, since you don't say Haret or Nand i'm not certain where to go from here.

@stampe, 3G should just work, unless there is a problem with your service provider settings, you may have to look for those online and edit them in settings/wireless&network/mobile networks/access point names, ( use menu key to add a new apn with the correct settings).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure but since you are running HaRET with an img or sqsh-based installation you don't have that kind of access to the file system. I think you need to be running Android from NAND/EXT2 to be able to get access to the file system for writing. However, I will not bet all my money on it and instead refer to anyone else who has more knowledge on this.

I know that when I ran Android through HaRET, I could do almost nothing to the original installation but ever since I switched to NAND I have full access.

GPS Issue

Hey Zen! Thanks for your answer and sorry for the missing info!

I'm using NAND in a KAIS120.

Don't know if it makes any difference, but my last radio version was/is 1.71.09.01 (I'm a little confused here: does Android use this radio or does it have it's own radio?)

I am actually using the latest nbh (19 Mar), but just found out my wi-fi isn't working as well. Also I reinstalled the whole system when I changed the NBH since I wasn't even able to receive and make calls (the app was loaded and I could dial, but there was no sound).

Are you using the latest NBH? Got any issues with it? Perhaps it can be buggy...

Thanks for your help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Wackomin:
Hey jmc.... I had a lot of the same issues you had. So I actually reformatted my SDcard put in the new NBH (Panel 2, 320 att tilt)and redownloaded the install file. I did a complete wipe install let it load skipped all the registration stuff, let it sit for 5 minutes, turned it off took out the battery and then turned it back on and installed the BT update. Let it load again and then turned it off. This seemed to work for me.

I have a KAIS 100 I don' t know if it makes any difference?

I did have battery issues. I would just lose my charge once it hit 66% but for some reason after the 3rd charge it's seems to be working great now. WIFI works, Maps work, GPS is good.

WIFI is a bit spotty for me at home where I have a linksys router, but at work its great... I have a dlink there.

Wacko
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jmcbrother:
@Wackomin, I did the exact same process as you, but no luck! I should probably reflash a WinMo stock ROM since I did a lot of flashing lately, and then repeat that sequence.

Not sure about the differences between the Kaiser models, but I believe that at this development phase it shouldn't be critical.

Your reports about battery seem to be quite normal... it can take some charging cycles in order to do the calibration.

And finally about wifi... there are a lot of variables like distance, electromagnetic interference, obstacles blocking signal, etc... maybe you could try doing some experimenting with different channels in your router's configurations or try to raise Kaiser's wifi power with the updates.

Thanks for your help!

Wifi

I've updated my polaris with bt_update but the wifi, also if turned on, say that it's impossible to find wifi and bluetooth it's no activable.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jmcbrother:
@sanji1310, I don't know much about the Polaris, but my Kaiser didn't even turn wifi on...

Didn't test the BT, though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
The device itself uses the installed radio stack, Android uses this the same way winmo does, ( well not quite the same way, but close enough ).

I'm using the 19th march nbh from ponaks site ( http://ponack.net/poly/BT_Update/index.php?folder=S2Fpc2VyX05CSHMvRWNsYWly ). which is pretty much the latest stable version of the kaiser nbh, ( as far as I'm aware ). have had no problems with gps apart from the usual long initial fix, which is normal.

You may have to do the 'complete reinstall' routine, and remember to skip the initial sign in and wait for at least 5 minutes before using the device after it's fully booted, I tend to wait longer, up to 15 minutes.

The 5 minute wait seems to cut down on a number of freezes/fc's, perhaps it allows some setup scripts to fully complete, not sure, but that wait seems to give me a reasonably stable install every time.

Currently trying out having both system and data on EXT2 partitions on my SD-card so I took the chance to flash a WinMo ROM and try the HARET boot again as I seen several people having problems with that.

However I didn't have issues booting with the latest (19/3) kernel from DZO, it booted just like my previous NAND install had done.

Step-by-step

1. Download this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-02-20/haretinstall.zip/download

2. Unzip to SD-card. You only need initrd.gz, default-kaiser.txt(or default-polaris.txt) and haret.exe and they need to be in the x:\andboot folder. (where x: is your SD-card)

3. Rename default-kaiser.txt to startup.txt.

4. Download latest zImage from: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D

5. Rename kernel to zImage and place it in x:\andboot

6. Edit startup.txt so that the setcmd line looks like this:

set cmdline "ppp.nostart=0 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0 board-htckaiser.panel_type=1 hw3d.version=1" (you may need to adjust the atttilt and the panel_type according to your needs)

This is just for booting tghe kernel. Unless you have a previous install you will also need to androidinstall.tgz and androidupdate.tar (BT update) from the first post of this thread to install Android.

Just thought I'd try asking again because I think my last post might have been drowned out by now =)

How well is the GPS supposed to work on this? I have never been able to get a lock (though GPS Test seems to find satellites it never locks them) and the assisted GPS places me about 150 miles away from where I am. Is the GPS know nto be buggy? I don't mind if so, I can live without it to be honest, but if it should be working then I'd like to fix it =)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
I have used the GPS with this build quite a bit. What I found was this...

Google maps tracks my location within 3 meters and holds its lock pretty well. When I use Google Nav it will follow me but, it will lose its signal every few miles or so and takes anywhere from 20 - 90 seconds to reacquire a lock. I have tried no other GPS software. As an every day GPS solution, it's not there yet but it can be done. It can be very frustrating to lose your signal so often and it will happen at the worst times. I find myself booting back to WinMo when I need solid GPS.

Hope that helps. ;)

As a side thought... These GPS tests were done on 2 and 3 hundred mile trips (I travel for work) so, it wasn't just a "run to the store". I've spent hours listening to that damn Google Nav lady tell me "GPS signal lost". :)

Make certain you are using the latest Kaiser radio...
