[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Most of the problems with instability we are having with this build I believe are due to the new JIT Dalvik, as I've stated before. I'm not at my main dev machine right now, but I should be able to port OpenEclair 1.2.2 over the weekend which will return us to the more stable Donut Dalvik. The crashes I get with this build seem to have no pattern, although since I'm tweaking it constantly I'm sure that has some effect.

I'm sorry to those of you having WiFi trouble, I've been syncing and using Market all week on a weak WiFi connection, I'll put an androidupdate.tar with the tiwlan.ini from the old build up ASAP -- unless someone else can get to it first. The old tiwlan.ini kept the power level of WiFi on full constantly, of course that will give you a stronger connection but the heating and battery issues will return.

As for DNS, we've never been able to ping from terminal... there's a hack for it somewhere (probably CM) if I get a chance I'll look for it.

You don't need a partitioned SD to run from NAND, I've tried this build with a swap partition and tested compcache backingswap and it only seems to slow things down.

oh and @nyunyu yes that message is normal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] sid0101:
I haven't been able to get alpha 4 to work using the SD card method. I want to dual boot for now and therefore I cannot NAND flash. I am not sure what the problem is.... I just get a bunch of jibberish after I hold down on the dpad and click install. It gets stuck. I know others have said it might be the radio version or the SD card and what not.... but all this is getting more and more technical. Is it possible at all to have just a Haret launch like before?

P.S.: Please keep your new wifi files in any future builds because keeping heat to a minimum and battery life up high is really important.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kaboofa:
Welp, if it makes any difference, the default browser and connectbot can't seem to do DNS lookups either. I'm about to format/partition/reinstall and I'll report back with results.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ALIEN_:
Same issue here. I've updated my ROM to Solace and Radio 1.71.09.01 as suggested by Poly but no change.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] a.s.j:
Please read my answer to jessnuman, that I posted just below his post :) Hope that helps, because as I said, there is no more use of Camera button, use D-pad center as you are asked by the installer :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ALIEN_:
Sorry i should of clarified that I did use the Dpad center button.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] a.s.j:
OK, so then again.. can you tell me what exactly is happening to you? And please, be more accurate :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ALIEN_:
OK, all files in andboot (latest release) folder on a FAT32 2GB card, select haret and used default.txt (no changes) goes through and gets to checking partition and then

Hold dpad center to launch installer

sh: 2: unknown operand

losetup: /dev/block/loop1: No such file or directory

Failed

Failed to reach system.img on SD Card

I've tried using another 1GB SD card FAT32 with just those files on it and still the same.

I've tried holding the dpad button after pressing haret run button and also waiting to get to the hold dpad center to launch and same message appears.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] a.s.j:
Well... I am not sure that I understood, but...

when you run HrET, it starts booting sequence and you have to wait until Android prompts you to press and hold D-Pad center button. Then jus do that till something happends (for about 5 seconds, then Installer should pop up)

Did you try this way? Still with the same result?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ALIEN_:
That is correct.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] nyunyu:
Oh, ok..that's a relief.

Just want to report that I have this build working on my Kaiser but it is very slow compared to older build even if I turned off all animations. By default after booting up, there are many programs running which contributes to the slowness as well and I killed them all to gain better responsiveness. Wifi is working and connected but it seems like I have the same problem like others whereas I can't browse, can't go to the market.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] urban69:
Hey, after flashed NAND version my kaiser wakeups on any key press, i've to unlock to use it, but i think that waking up by any key will "eat" lot of battery.

Is there any fix to it?

Hi All,

I'd just like to know if the speed increase when installing via Nand is worth the change from SD install. Right now i have the OS running on SD but things are very slow. Also having delays from when i receive a call to when the display actually shows who is calling and various other lag issues when starting up applications. Overall the speed is slow but i love the application. So i just wanted to know if doing a Nand install will change the speed and if its significant enough to warrant me wiping out the dual boot.(winmo 6.5 and Android)

TIA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] plutarcian:
yeah the speed boost is worth it. but what u really have to decide is if u want to make this your primary os with the missing features (wifi, bluetooth, gps, location) etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] gresham:
Thanks i was hoping for that ! will ponder over the features that wont be available for now :rolleyes:

wifi issues - its traffic related

Discovered something about the new wifi settings - they work fine if there is plenty of traffic on the wireless lan, but not if the kaiser is the only device active. I discovered that it worked fine at work but not at home; however once I tried it at home while streaming video to a laptop, and it worked!

From a very brief look at the traffic, I'd say that when it goes into some sort of power saving mode, it ignores incoming packets altogether (I see retransmissions from the servers its talking to).

Hope that helps figure it out....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] spaic:
short answer:

you have to select Sys on SDCard partition and Data on SDCard partition.

long answer:

the options that say smth about ext2 use partition images on a ext2 partition, just like the FAT install.

if you want to use that you would probably have to have only one ext2 partition larger than 512MB in order to fit the two files (sys.img and data.img).

at least that's how i understand things.

How is everyone connecting android to a pc? I have downloaded and installed the USB driver from the SDK here

(http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)

But I still can't get anything to show in windows. When I plug the usb in it shows in notifications that usb is connected. I have pulled down the notifications and click "mount sd card" but nothing happens.

I just want to be able to transfer files between my pc and my tilt.

Just reinstalled with a 320 nbh, just for the hell of it, went well as usual, however my latest install procedure has changed, instead of signing in on first boot, which can sometimes take a while due to initial slowness, I just skipped the sign in, set up wifi and apn, tweaked a few things, restarted and signed in much faster.

If you have the same trouble with initial data setup and the wifi FC all the time, perhaps try just skipping it initially.

My carrier ( virgin mobile ), uses the T-Mobile network and it seems that this causes a little confusion on first boot, making for a long delay in getting on gprs/3g, usually it times out, tries to use wifi, FC's and resets the sign in process again.

in addition, the device is HTC Polaris and i'm trying to install Eclair 2.1 for Kaiser/Vogue/Polaris -- polymod 2.1 alpha 4 [Based on OpenEclair 1.1.5]
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jrmurph:
Thought I would share a couple more things.

First, I was having some random lockup issues where the phone would just freeze up and I would have to pull the battery to get it to reboot, just a softreset wouldn't clear whatever issue it was making the phone run really really slow at the next reboot. Not sure if it was the full wipe/reload to nand that fixed the issue, or using a new the SD card. After both I had much better response times and this issue went away.

Second, I had issues with battery. I tried the drain and recharge bit, inlcuding removing the batterystat.bin file and could not for the life of me get my phone to hold a charge that lasted longer than about 20 min of use. Some of the directions to reset the battery meter were to discharge the phone till shutdown, then charge the phone powered off till the indicator turned green, then turn the phone on to let Android see the battery at 100%. My issue was that my phone would not charge at all while powered off, the light would come on amber for about 10 seconds then turn off and nothing, rebooting the phone and charging with the system on it would read 4% charge until about 8% and then jump to 100% and stop charging.

I have flashed back to a winmo image to discharge and recharge (charges fine with power off) then I will try flashing back to Android and see if starting with a full charge before flashing helps at all. I suspect this is an issue with dzo's .nbh image not poly's install as it affects the phone when powered off as well as on.

If anyone else has experienced this and has a solution please let me know. :D

I'll post back with my results once i'm done discharging and recharging under winmo.

No Edge or 3G Data

OK,

I have an AT&T Tilt, running a Diamond L26 WM6.1 ROM - very stable, also running the latest 1.71 Radio 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 this is BS, 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 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.

Can anyone help? I would love my Tilt to run Android !!

Thanks,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loserskater:
I was having battery problems awhile ago. Wouldn't charge all the way, false readings, etc. Ended up buying a new battery and it works great. I get about 2 days with one charge. So you might want to start looking at buying a new battery.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jrmurph:
I may do that. I am really just trying to get this to work while I wait for my contract to expire in a couple of months, and hoping by then AT&T will finally have their 5 Android phones released.

Could be a worthwhile purchase to buy an oem replacement from Amazon for the $7 if it gets things working in the interim.

It is currently charging with the power off after flashing nand back to winmo, gonna wait till it's green, then try flashing back and see what that does for me.

Thanks for the suggestion.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jrmurph:
Doh! looks like my battery is bad, no way it should have charged from 5% to green in 2 hours. *sigh* :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
I have had occasional trouble with the installer not launching when I hold dpad-center... when I try again and press it harder it works. In theory, it shouldn't make a difference how hard you hold the button, but in practice that's what works for me.

@d_m: Very interesting. Thanks for the bug report, I wish all the bug reports I get were so detailed ;) The tiwlan.ini sets power levels but also has a packet threshold you can set, it will ignore packets if they slow down to the set level. Feel free to experiment with the different settings and see what works, I doubt you can hurt anything.

Just flashed my phone and it's working great, WI-FI, Calls, Everything that is said to work..works :)

But i got a question, how fast is your NAND flashed android? (i used DZO's 320 res and panel 2 nbh) mine lags a bit on the transition animations, when i slide the program list and so on...is it normal?

Also, when i connect my USB cable to the whole it keeps going USB on, off, on..endlessly, sometimes it resembles a notification machinegun, really annoying
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] plutarcian:
same here. i guess its normal for the time being. remember its still alpha :) . im running the 428 resolution with animations turned off. would really like to run 250*360 but i dont know how to do that on the nand.

i suggest u leave animations off for now till things get settled

and for the usb connections, just disable usb debugging in settings. i think tht shld take care of machinegun notification

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] acompres:
Hmm, i found out that the best lcd.density setting as far as visual eyecandy-ness, finger friendly (as in i can pull down the notification area without much hassle with my thumb) and less eye strain is 130 on the 320 Resolution, someone really should optimize the Pattern lock and phone app for it, or something like that is in the works?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
Regarding USB-connections and what can be expected out of this, if your aim is to mount the SD card so you can manipulate the files, I haven't found a solution to it yet. I believe the developers haven't figured this one out or just haven't focused on the issue yet.

I am not able to mount the USB SD-card through Windows 7 at least. I always get repeated messages about the phone being connected but hitting "Mount" in Android just gets me back to the original message, with nothing mounted in Windows. I can't say if there's any difference in Linux or if this issue can be solved in another way.

As for the status not showing the USB-icon. This could either be because of the the USB debugging-setting set to OFF in Android (I haven't confirmed this though); Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB-debugging. Or it could be that you simply don't get a notification but the USB is working. Try ADB-commands (read up on the Android SDK or other threads) through Windows to see if you can contact the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jonahs:
In WinMO: Start -> Settings -> Phone -> PIN/PIN2-tab -> Require PIN when phone is used. Don't know if PIN2 is anything you need to bother with, but setting that empty to if possible shouldn't hurt.
