How to disable 3G? :(

NAND appears fast and smooth and I so badly want to keep THIS on my Kaiser BUT I am having problems connecting to cellular...

My Kaiser's 3G radio appears to be permanently burnt out (tried all manner of radios and whatnot on another thread) and I must disable 3G.

This is strange because in HaRET it was easy to do and reception was great (for AT&T) now reception appears to be horrible (for AT&T even! haha).

"2G Only" keeps getting "unselected", and then I have no data connection and can't make calls.

Please help :( it's my main phone so I really need cellular...

More info if it helps: I have Cingular, AT&T@ and some other service if I search. I can select @AT&T and EDGE icon will appear but go back to 3G EVEN when "2G Only" is selected. I have not been able to make any calls/data with this NAND so far. I tried Cingular as well but it seemed not to connect at all.

Any chance you can tell me how to set the lcd setting for the dialer?

As for the ringtones, what should I do?

Have you create APNs?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aikeru:
APNs

Probably not. I just kept whatever was already on the ROM. In APNs I have only:

"ATT

wap.cingular" which is selected

going inside this...

Name: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: (was already set and all *'s)

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

everything else is not set.

Here is another example of what happens:

I can tick 2G Only (select it), then pick network operators, while it is searching "3G" will popup. I can select AT&T and then the EDGE icon will appear but by the time I am totally done it goes back to the 3G icon.

Is this an APN problem?

Can 3G be permanently disable on Eclair?

I've been unable to keep 2g only forced on any android build so far, a real issue for me as I live in an area with really weak 3g signal so it keeps flicking between and ending up with no connection

I've no problem if I force 2g in Windows mobile and run via haret - then it stays in 2g but I'd like to loose windows - NAND is faster

This is set in the default.txt file in the andboot folder.

Open it and look at the second last line for the place where it says lcd.density=120 and amend it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aikeru:
FWIW I found this post

http://androidforums.com/how-tips/27388-disable-3g.html

Which gives instructions on how to select what network you allow your device to have (it's not the "Settings" thing):

(naturally don't pick WCDMA)

How to disable 3G
Go to the Phone app and dial *#*#INFO#*#*
Press Phone infomation
Scroll down untill you see "Set preferred network type:"
Press "CMDA auto (PRL)" and a list should pop up
Select "CDMA only" in the list
Return to the Home screen by pressing the Home button

Doesn't seem to be helping me out but it's something you could try.

May have to go back to HaRET ;(

I tried pressing the Dpad button so the installer menu started. When I pick option 1 Install here, it says "Warning installing Android wipes your current system". So this option really seems to install Android instead of Windows Mobile, instead of letting it be used as 'Live CD' OS.

How can I run Android without removing my Windows Mobile? I want to be able to reset the phone and automatically boot back into Windows Mobile.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aikeru:
Just wondering did you try those instructions linked by the O/P on the first post? :)

Unfortunately despite my best efforts Android refuses to leave 3G alone and can't get any good connection on cellular.

Then go into astro and browse to /system and press and hold on build (actually called buld.prop but doesn't show .prop) and select open as / text document / file editor. Then scroll down to where it says something about lcd density=120 and change it to 110. Then save and reboot.

Just delete the media folder on you sd card to get ridof the dup ringtones

Install menu doesn appear

Hi,

I'm installing polymod 2.1a4 in my HTC polaris (Touch cruise); after running haret, I get the message "Hold dpad center to launch installer", but after pressing it I get the message "error waiting for notbusy".

What can I do to fix this proble???

thanks a lot!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tilt8925kaiser:
I have installed Android and it does not erase Windows Mobile. The message sounds scary but all it does is create android files on your SD card and boots Android. When you soft-reset, the device reverts back to WinMobile. None of the data in the SD Card or Windows Mobile is removed. Once you have installed Android, you can simply boot by running Haret and skip the d-pad message.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Assuming you are running from SD, this means that running the installer will wipe any Android system you have previously installed, so if this is your first install of polymod using Haret it's completely safe, all it does is prepare all the files needed to use Android.

Of course if you have already flashed the nand version you already wiped windows anyway ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] RuuddieBoy:
Yes I did but it doesn't clearly state if pressing 'install' really installs it or just runs as 'live cd' mode.

@tilt8925kaiser & zenity: Thanks a lot, I'm gonna try it! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] SharpieMarker:
Is anyone flashing this over top of an old version of android on nand? What system.img are you using? I used an old system.img and ended up with an old version of android. So what is everyone using?

I start by placing everything on my sd card as instructed. The androidinstall.tar won't unzip when inside the andboot folder. So if I place androidinstall.tar in the root of my sd card it unzips and gets as far in the bash script as telling me that I haven't got a rootfs.img. Using the rootfs.img from the third or so post, I get as far as the bash script telling me that I haven't got a system.img. I never get the option to hold the center button to bring up the installation menu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've researched the issue and have read pretty much all android nand flashing tutorials which lend me no aid. I've also searched the forums repeatedly to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

I have a couple issues and questions.

1. how do I get the keyboard to come up in the terminal?

2. I am using 1.70... radio is that OK or do I have to use the radio designated on the main page.

3. I seem to be missing market place apps. My girlfriend has the Behold 2 and she has a WAY bigger selection of apps then I do. For instance C:Geo does not show up, as well as about 10 others.

please be kind, I looked and searched through the whole thread and could not find answers to any of these. I need the keyboard cause I need to adjust the LCD density.

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] RuuddieBoy:
So ok, I installed polymod 2.1a4 on my TyTN. I indeed didn't loose any files and I can still boot Windows Mobile, so thanks for that!

But anyway, I just ran polymod 2.1a4, just the zipfile that's part of the openingpost. Running it from my SD-card, from the directory andboot and starting HaRET. And it's SLOW AS HELL. Basically Android isn't usable for me. Just opening anything takes half a minute; stuff like browsing through the settingsmenu was really slow. I seem to have to click very firmly and I get a black page for 10-15 seconds, after which the screen is loaded but not usable yet.

So I installed the 19 feb 2019 Super important update after this and it seemed to make it a little bit faster but still not usable :(

I think this is strange because I used the 1.6 Android before and that ran extremely fast. I could click any icon and it would open stuff right away.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
@Ruuddieboy

Both Haret and Nand installs are slower at first, mostly due to a lot of processes running in the background, mediascanner, google sync, various other bits and pieces that take a little time to settle down.

I find the new update really smooth things out, but what helps the most is adding the Taskiller taskbar widget, and killing off most or all of the tasks, frees up a load of memory too.

Other tweaks such as turning off a few things like window animation and stuff like that help as well.

Finally running from SD will also be slower anyway, 2.1a4 takes our kaiser right to the limit, but it's still damn good work, and once it's set up it's fast enough :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aikeru:
Hmmm two things I'd like to mention -- first you might try turning off the media scanner (instructions in that instructions link, killall something). The other is that running from SD is NOTHING like running from NAND in my experience. I would be using this NAND day-to-day if someone had an easy way to permanently disable 3G. It's really fast off NAND and as long as you know what you're doing (and there's a real helpful group here :)) no real risk flashing this to NAND in my experience/opinion (unless your Kaiser 3G radio don't work ha).

Questions

Hi people,

I am very tempted to install the android build on my phone, however, I have a few questions/concerns. I am new to the android flashing (I have read the different posts) so please bear with me. The questions/concerns I have are:

- In the installation process, as described by j101399j, step 11 requires me to select the default.txt for my phone and rename it to default.txt. The assumption I am making is that there are multiple default.txt's and I have to select the appropriate one for my phone. Is my assumption correct???

- From what I understand, HaRET allows me to run android from winmo. The question is how do I switch between operating systems??

- What is the typical sd card storage required for an install??

I know some of the questions might be considered trivial, but I would really appreciate any advice/answers.

Thanks:)

I hope so! Please let me know if you make any progress! :) :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aikeru:
Assuming you have a Kaiser... with the latest you don't need to rename any default.txt's, it comes with one already named that you should use. The others are clearly named for polaris/vogue.

HaRET is just used like you would start any program in WinMO. As long as you use HaRET and don't flash to NAND you always boot to winmo first and then use HaRET to go to android.

For HaRET I'm using a 2gb with no special formatting and it's working fine for me. I think there's formatting instructions elsewhere here.

Hope this helps :)

Can you elaborate a bit?

Some data does work?

Have you checked your apn settings? The ones I listed a few posts back are valid for att.

Unfortunatuly you cannot use the onscreen keyboard in Terminal. The radio you have should be ok, I have used it. However I moved to 1.71.... and I prefer it.If you run you resolution at 240X320, then most apps will be missing, If you chnage the resolution to 320X480 99% of the apps should come back. Market removes apps are not supposed to work on 240X320 :(. Now if you copy the /system/build.prop file to your sdcard, edit it and then copy it back (all using Estrong file manager) terminal is not needed.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ArvinSR:
Thanks for the advice, it has indeed helped. Two other questions:

- In terms of booting android from WinMO, does HaRET require me to reinstall every time or do I just run and it would be booted?

- Could you give me an exact figure in terms of storage as I have a 1GB sd card? I want to know if it would work or I need a bigger card.

Good stuff!

Definitely liking this build with the newest update. Using it everyday - I'd been using Android every day for a while, but made sure I always had a power source nearby because of the battery. This build blows that problem away.

I like to play with GPS, so a few issues I've noticed along the way:

-GPS sometimes locks in a location fairly quickly, within a minute or so. Other times, I'll have it on for almost an hour, but it won't lock at all. I'd put it at about a 40/60 percent ratio of no-lock/good-lock.

-Some applications, including Google's My Tracks, cause Android to automatically reboot upon starting them. It's a 100% crash rate with My Tracks.

Still amazed at how far this has all come. Great work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
-HaRET, as ArvinSR mentioned, is like any other application run from within WinMO. When started it will present you with a Linux penguin logo in the upper left corner and present you with boot up log information scrolling by (this can be good for troubleshooting purposes should something go wrong)

When you run HaRET and Android boots for the first time it will create a file called data.img. When you power off your phone after being booted into Android, and power it back on again, you will be taken to WinMO and have to start HaRET again to get to Android. Your settings from the last time you booted Android will be saved, unless something really wrong is messing stuff up (ie taking out your SD card while Android is running..).

-About sizes. I've been using a 2GB card for my 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 setups of Android and I've not passed the 1GB mark even once. But, if you're planning on having some room left for videos and music while running this, I'd highly recommend a bigger (see if you can get a real fast one too) card. Running Android only, downloading the occasional app shouldn't pose a problem for you with 1GB.

Updating Android on unpartitioned NAND?

I've accomplished to run poly's 2.1a4 on my Kaiser by using a NAND setup. Now, I'd like to be able to update the animation fix poly posted the 19th but I have an issue with this;

I'm running Android as my main OS and I can't figure out how I'm supposed to update the installation. I don't have a card reader and I chose to install the System and Data on NAND during the installation process.

Is there any way to be able to update the NAND-based installation I've made or do I have to partition the card (forcing me to get a cradle for the SD to plug in my computer)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
I'm a bit confused about a step in this guide; If I'd like to install poly's Eclair on my Kaiser, am I doing it right by _replacing_ the "androidinstall.tar" that came with the NAND-flashing zip-file (which can be downloaded from the forum thread you link to) with poly's "androidinstall.tar" and _then_ start the flashing process?

Why this is confusing to me is that the NAND-flash guide has its own "androidinstall.tar" and poly has his and I just haven't found any clear message that I'm supposed to use the tar for the version of Android I'd like to run (in this case poly's).

I have been able to install poly's Eclair by replacing the tar that came with the NAND-flash guide. Before I got this to work I had to create a directory called "andboot" in the root of the SD card, place the tar within that folder _and_ download a proper "data.img" which I placed in the same andboot folder. I think that I was able to deduce that that was the way to install this thing, but it wasn't self evident. :)

Now, I'm just not sure I've been doing it "by the book". It would be most welcome if someone could verify that this is the way to do it, because is so, I'm going to write this down for future reference.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aikeru:
Sounds right to me... I didn't use a data.img and used the latest as of right now and just had it create one for me. You might want someone more knowledgeable to verify but so long as it boots into android and everything works as advertised seems like all the confirmation I would need. :)

I have an AT&T Tilt, running a Diamond L26 WM6.1 ROM - very stable, also running the latest 1.71 Radio, hard SPL 3.56 too - my carrier AT&T, I live in a 3G coverage area too :-)

I've formatted and installed onto a 4GB SD card with the three partitions, large FAT32, 512+ EXT2, and a 512+ EXT2 - formatted using Linux (Ubuntu 9.10 with GParted, not that it matters).

Anyway, fresh install - all works - WiFi, GPS, display power etc, applications - BUT....

I cannot get my Android build to connect to AT&T 3G, I keep getting SIM card not provisioned for data error. I know the SIM works, because this same SIM works on WM6.1 in my Tilt _AND_ my AT&T Tilt II _AND_ my AT&T Tilt II running a _LESS_ stable Android build. So I know it isn't the SIM but the build or a setting.

I've checked the settings - and the settings for the APN are correct.

Wifi /Cam etc work - just no 3G data

Finally got it working off my SD card. Read a suggestion to hold down the D-pad as soon as you see text. Even got that update installed, and now the UI is much smoother.

I have found a couple of problems.

#1 When I flip open the keyboard and then flip it back, the screen rotates the wrong way. This can only be fixed by hitting the power button, and then waking it up.

#2 I've installed Genesoid, Nesoid, and Snesoid. So far, all the games work better then I've ever seen on Windows Mobile. The only problem is, I can't hit more then one key on the keyboard at a time. In other words, I can only run or shoot, but not both. I doubt it's the emulators fault, but probably an issue with the

#3 I've tried a 3D game called Jumpyball 3D, and it just crashes as soon as it launches. Not sure why, but it maybe because the game requires an accelerometer.

Other then that, it works pretty good. I'll need to do more testing.
