[Windows Mobile Software Development] mtranda:
Ok, so I'm developing an app that does its stuff via HTTP calls. I guess you could call it REST. Basically it's a file uploading utility, that uploads files in multiple parts (so I can monitor the progress), and does this via HTTP.

The backend works just fine, particularly since I ported the client code to a desktop test app and the uploads complete quite fast, and successfully.

The first call is a call where I get an upload ticket from the server.

From the second call on up until the one before the last, I send data.

The problem is that upon the third call (on the emulator), and the second call (on the physical device) the operation times out. So basically, if uploading from the emulator I end up with a file on the server that's the size of the send buffer, and from my phone I get a 0 byte file, since I don't get to make the second call to even upload the first part.

So here's my question: is there something in the framework that limits the number of http calls? Since the desktop client works just fine with the same backend, yet the phone seems to stubbornly refuse to work properly.

Oh, just so we're clear, I'm doing this in C# (.NET CF 2.0).

L.E.: emulator runs WM 6, phone runs WM 6.5.

Thanks in advance.

L.E.: fixed the problem. It was in my code. A stream I wasn't closing (and apparently there's a limitation on the amount of streams concurently open on a mobile device) on each call.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Qancer:
was wondering if there is a certain method because the last time i tried to change my SPL, the phone was bricked...

i just dled the .zip, opened in recovery and updated.

i just want to be 100% sure now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BoomBoomPOW:
Yeah me too. I want to update my SPL, but very hesitant and know very little.

I'm confused in regards with perfected spl's, eng spl's, and ship spl's, and all that jazz.

I need to update my SPL because the roms I want to flash are limited because of my "outdated" SPL.

My spec's:

I desperately want to update my SPL to the latest one but very afraid of bricking my phone.

I've been googling everything about SPL's and so far still stuck with a fear of bricking. I NEED GUIDANCE, please HELP.

Hi Everyone,

I am not really sure if everyone knows about Dropbox but here goes:

UPDATE: A PREVIEW VIDEO HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR THE WINDOWS MOBILE CLIENT. IT SEEMS TO BE FOR WINDOWS MOBILE 5 & 6.x AS ITS SHOWN ON THE HTC LEO / HD2

YOU CAN VIEW IT HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsbcO5iWVI8&feature=player_embedded

Note: YOU CAN VOTE EVERY 28 DAYS AGAIN FOR THE SAME CHOICE!!

Please can everyone who has Dropbox or might get Dropbox after reading this whole post then please also vote for a Windows Mobile App for it! I don't get why its always the iPhone which gets all the apps even though it has fewer developers!

Here the link to vote for it: https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/8/windows-mobile-support

And if you want to sign-up here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTE5Njc5OTk5 YOU WILL GET AN 250MB EXTRA IF YOU USE ME REFERRAL LINK!

What Is Dropbox?

Dropbox is software that syncs your files online and across your computers. Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they'll be instantly available on any of your other computers that you've installed Dropbox on (Windows, Mac, and Linux too!) Because a copy of your files are stored on Dropbox's secure servers, you can also access them from any computer or mobile device using the Dropbox website.

With Dropbox, your files are always in sync.

Let's say you're editing a document at home. As soon as you click 'Save', Dropbox will sync this same file to all your other computers (and now your iPhone!) instantly and automatically. It's as if you saved the document to all of your computers. This gives you the freedom to work on any of your computers and always have the files you need.

Dropbox lets you share files easily.

You can easily share entire folders or photo albums with Dropbox. Simply put the folders you want to share in your Dropbox, and invite people to them. You can also send people links to specific files within your Dropbox. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects

With Dropbox, online backup is automatic.

Any file you put into your Dropbox folder is automatically backed up to our servers. Even if your computer has a melt-down, your files are safe on Dropbox and can be restored at any time. While our free 2GB account is perfect for backing up your documents, we offer larger accounts (up to 100GB) for backing up your music and video collections.

Dropbox lets you go back in time to undelete or undo changes to files.

Every time you save a file in Dropbox, Dropbox syncs it to our secure servers. Dropbox keeps a history of every change you make so that you can undo any mistakes and even undelete files. By default, we keep 30 days of history for all your files. We also have an unlimited undo option called "Pack-rat".

Dropbox is better.

Dropbox replaces:

Emailing file attachments to yourself and other people

Using USB drives to move files between computers

Renaming files to keep a history of previous versions

Complicated backup software and hardware

And more!

Just moved house and got no permanent broadband connection yet so could not update this post. Would be updating it in the coming days. I would just like to remind everyone to keep VOTING on Dropbox's official website so we can get an Official Version!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
I'm quite satisfied with the Dumdidum app. So, I will use my next votes to reclaim a price reduction. I don't understand why Dropbox is so expensive compared with other services like divshare. I have there an account with 25Gb for only 19,99$/year.

On dropbox the free account of 2Gb is OK, but if you need more than this, the only option is paying 99$ for 50Gb!!!! I can't afford it!.And the minimum size is 50!!! Even if you only need 5, or 20 Gb.

I think that these guys need an urgent Sales formation. For instance, if I only need 10 more Gb, I agree paying 9$ for them.

It seems the same but it's NOT the same.... I bet that they are going to loose a lot of business if they don't rectify on time.

Best regards

Pere
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pere:
As said previously,I want to promote to request to DROPBOX to reduce their , in my opinion, abusive storage prices:

As Dropbox member, you have 6 votes every month to support some ideas. One of them (The fifth one in order of votes) is this:

Better (more affordable) storage prices

https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/90/better-more-affordable-storage-prices

I ask to all the new Dropbox users to vote this idea. This will be good for all the Dropbox users that need more than 2GB but can't pay a lot for it.

Starting this thread here for running this Eclair-Hero build on our Kaisers. Many thanks to all devs below!!

UPDATE 17 Dec:

Download the new rootfs below for working WiFi! Thanks enatefox!

Download:

system.sqsh [ver 0.6.01]

Eclair-ready__rootfs.img (rename to rootfs.img, of course)

eclairhero.user.conf (goes on your SD card in /android/conf)

OR if you have a swap partition on your SD card: eclairhero-swap_partition.user.conf (goes on your SD card as /android/conf/eclairhero.user.conf)

And if you don't have them already:

zImage-15-12-09 (the latest kernel from 15 Dec)

startup.txt (My personal HaRET startup.txt)

rootfs changelog:

Copied /init.cfg/init.eclairhero.rc to /init.cfg/init.eclairhero.kaiser.rc

Copied /init.cfg/init.eclair.rc to /init.cfg/init.eclair.kaiser.rc

Altered init to check that media folder exists in /sdcard/android/media instead of /sdcard/media

Altered init to support eclair.user.conf and eclairhero.user.conf

TIPS:

You will need a fresh data partition/data.img for this build. Don't forget to back up your old one first!

Go straight to version 0.6.01 as posted above, version 0.6 gives me weird SIM errors.

This build takes FOREVER (5-10min) to boot. It goes through and even attempts to make a number of thumbnails for your images during first boot. I suggest watching it over adb so you'll know when it's settled and ready for input.

The HTC widgets are not working with this build.

TaskKiller is an absolute must, like other Hero builds this one loves to keep apps open.

Hmm, this build has successfully rebooted itself twice, during heavy use. I wish I knew how that worked, so we could get it to reboot on command!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
Wifi not working D:

Also if I put 15-02-19, Haret asks for 11-12-09 (where can I find the latest haret?)

Why does it happen?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Almost downloaded Hero, just got vanilla Eclair to boot the first time. I'll look into wifi. Maybe it's me but Eclair seems faster than Donut but I haven't messed with it much. That should make Hero much nicer.. will post back when I get further
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
The startup.txt needs to be updated for the new zImage, or you can download my updated one from the first post.

@enatefox:

O

Hero is very buggy, has too many problems to run daily for now. Overall Eclair Mike the fastest yet though! And the fonts are much better for qvga. Text autocomplete has issues.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
Nah, don't worry, it was something really really stupid.

In the same file you said, it was like "zImage 11-12-09" so now I saved it saying just "zImage". Now works fine.

Waiting for wifi updates, great work guys! ;)

BTW, is there any way to take screenshots?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
damn bootloop. I'll look at this tomorrow but that's a promise :). I don't know where these wifi files came from. I dropped in the ones that I've used and we'll see. Right now I'm fixing telnet and some other issues to post back with but it will take a little bit of time. We're going to get this working for daily use.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
Here's working wifi for Eclair:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ezyzekjozj3

EDIT, I didn't get Hero to boot for me (looping) but I forgot to update Eclair Hero's conf file to match conf.eclair.kaiser.rc.. can someone either do that and repost or wait for me to finish some perm issues with it and I will upload one for Hero. Sorry about that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
I have got to be doing something wrong. I am using all of the files from the 1st post and the rootfs.img from enatefox's last post and this sat for 30 minutes. I even copied the user file to the sd card, to the /sdcard/CONF folder and into the /sdcard/Android/CONF folder and still it sits. I'll get a post of the last few lines up later to see if I just need to wait more or not. I am also using an empy 2GB Fat32 SD Card with the 1.71 radio. All other builds work but this one???

Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
I could mirror my files. They're working perfect, even wifi and etc (bluetooth not yet).

Folder Screenshot:

http://i46.tinypic.com/oqbo2c.jpg

Then you delete data.img to start from the beginning.

that could solve your issues :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
If u don't mind, that would be great. I also just noticed that even after a 1/2 hr, a data.img file never was created

edit: wait, your system file in that picture is only 44.325 MB; the latest system file from post 1 is 89.3? Why so different?

Also

What do you mean, clean data.img, do I need a clean one already on the SDCard for 1st run, so none present?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
FYI, your 'conf' and 'android' folders should be named in lowercase, if they aren't already.

The only way we can tell what is wrong is to see whatever the console says before it freezes, or ADB logs if you can make it that far. Post whatever you've got.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
If it wasn't created then... you wouldn't need to delete it, do you? :D

ROM Size: That's because I use mixed files from the different Eclair thread's.

It's a "package" of what worked fine on my device.

Most of the files are from this thread, but the system.sqsh is from this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=600154

Mirror File: http://rapidshare.com/files/322793487/android.rar.html (up to 10 times, I don't have a premium account D: )
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
You need to have one of two things:

If you are using the partitioned SD method, you need a fresh ext2 partition (newly created with a partition manager, or wiped using the Android install script)

If you are using the data.img file method, just make sure there's no data.img on your SD so the installer can create one during boot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
thank you, will try

I competly forgot about needing all lowercase letters; as for the data.img file, that is what I though; Thank you

[EDIT]

That is so wierd; I had to place the system.img into the /sdcard/android folder and the use user file in these 3 places /sdcard /sdcard/android and /sdcard/android/conf

Now it works. Don't know what changed, but it works
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
http://rapidshare.com/files/322793487/android.rar.html
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
I can almost guarantee you that the .conf file in your SD root and the .conf file in /android/ are ignored, try deleting them and just leave the .conf in the /conf/ directory. And yes, everything including the system.img/system.sqsh should go in the /android/ folder now.

I bet you can boot this Hero build, but it has a lot of bugs, you'll probably be happier with plain Eclair that rugalck linked.
