The GPS is not stable. Sometimes it seems to work rather well, sometimes it is hard to get a lock and sometimes the whole phone locks up and needs a battery removal before it's accepts booting into Android again (at least when NAND flashed).

I do mind as I'm a geocacher and I hope to be able to do some geocaching with it. I actually reinstalled Windows Mobile today just to get a better working GPS. Having Android in it's own EXT2 partitions on the SD-card seems to be as fast or almost as fast as a NAND install so the only thing I lose with this setup is boot time as I have to go through WinMo before starting Android.

So for now I will use WinMo for GPS things and Android for everything else.

You may not be able to check the radio version but you should be able to flash a new one while keeping Android. Nonetheless, if you do reflash Windows mobile, backup your android data partition first if you wan't to keep your setup when you reinstall Android again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Biglittlewhateva:
That's why I'm sticking with the SD version until Android is fully functional. Then I'll flash it. I like having the convenience of rebooting to WinMo.

Hey I tried to search for the Batterystats file and could not find any such file.... on a side note though I went back to the Feb NBH and now my battery is lasting all day... but I have no WIFI which is the main thing I use....

Can anyone help with the battery problem for the new NBH?

Thanks,

zImage 2.1 bt update freezes

I tried latest zImage from ponack.net/poly/BT_Update/ adding the "hw3d.version=1" to my "set cmdline" line on default.txt

Did I miss something? Haret freezes at 100% on "go go go". Can I debug this in anyway? Bootlog.txt doesn't help...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xxaznxx27:
mother....

so for whatever reason after using it for 5-8 days my phone would freeze and I would have to restart. but for whatever reason when it restarts from freezing it erases EVERYTHING which is a pain to reinstall again and again. i've tried backing up the data but it can never be restored because it would just give me an error. any ideas on whats up? or anyone else having the same problem! thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] smartphoneguy:
Anyone else have thoughts on the above? Is it possible to successully run android-wifi-tether on polymod 2.1g?

Also, polyrhythmic, did you ever get the 240x320 full marketplace app from the other thread working correctly on 2.1g? For me, it will download apps, but it force closes when it tries to install them. My workaround is to go to /tmp, where the .apk was downloaded, and install it from there. It would be nice if it worked like it should.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] smartphoneguy:
Well, I have solved the issue with the 240x320 full marketplace app force closing on polymod 2.1g. Instructions:

1) Download androidupdate-fullmarketqvga.tar

2) Extract the classes.dex file from the Vending.apk it contains

3) Extract the stock 2.1 Vending.apk from polymod_2.1g.zip (the .apk is in \data\app_s_tmp)

4) Rename it to Vending.apk.zip and open it

5) Replace the classes.dex file within the .zip with the classes.dex you extracted in step 2

6) Rename the .zip back to just Vending.apk

7) Create a new androidupdate.tar containing the new /system/app/Vending.apk or just replace the Vending.apk file in the .tar file from step 1 with the new one

8) Install the update and repair permissions (I also cleared the dalvik cache for good measure)

Explanation:

I figured that the best way to figure out what the problem was would be to determine how the stock polymod 2.1g Vending.apk differs from the the modified "full market" one. So, I took the "full market" .apk, renamed it to a .zip, extracted its contents, and repeated the process for the stock .apk. I then used WinMerge to compare the extracted contents of each. I found that there were not a lot of differences at all:

Compare Vending.apk Full with Vending.apk 2.1g
Filename,Folder,Comparison result
classes.dex,,Binary files are different
CERT.RSA,META-INF,Right only: Vending.apk 2.1g\META-INF
CERT.SF,META-INF,Right only: Vending.apk 2.1g\META-INF
MANIFEST.MF,META-INF,Text files are different
TEST_KEY.RSA,META-INF,Left only: Vending.apk Full\META-INF
TEST_KEY.SF,META-INF,Left only: Vending.apk Full\META-INF

It seems that the classes.dex file has been altered to achieve the "full market" effect (using baksmali to determine what has been changed is an exercise I will leave to the reader). I believe the "force close" problem that occurs on polymod 2.1g when using the full .apk stems from its use of the TEST_KEY.RSA key certificate instead of the offical Google one (CERT.RSA). At least on my phone, replacing only the classes.dex file in the 2.1g .apk with the one from the full .apk appears to work fine and allow full market downloads+installation without "force close" issues... Good luck!

This happens to me anytime my system freezes, and i have to remove the battery on 2.1B.

When I have 2.1G installed and it freezes I restart I get an error, init: Untracked PID #### and it loops and the PID number increases. This got really frustrating after re installing android 2.1g multiple times thus I regressed to 2.1b but now I get the acore message sometimes :(

THANKS! Merry Xmas.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dyetheskin:
a complete list of whats been updated/fixed would be appreciated,would love to use this when it's mostly a stable release vs 1.6,a few features i can live without but others i cant
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Well, this build is running pretty well, very quick and responsive. 3G Data, WiFi, GPS, Sync, app updates, all seem to be working. ConnectBot FC's using local mode, I'll have to roll back to the previous revision. I have HTC_IME keyboard in this build although it only really looks good in 320x480 so I'll make it optional for the next release. (I wonder how hard it would be to port it to QVGA)

All in all I like this new release of Eclair and it has been very stable, Zen's new memory settings seem to work much better, the home screen rarely reloads, transitions are very smooth. I'm going to switch some apps around to make this build more useful and darken the theme a bit for the next release. I am still working on the sleep issue, but it looks like for a proper fix I may have to compile a new kernel, so I expect it to be at least several days out. Nevertheless I only lose ~35% charge overnight if I turn data off, so it's still functional.

Besides the obvious camera and sleep issues, any requests for the next release?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] enatefox:
I can't figure out how to recognize hardware keys. If I could I can finish a service I've got that will force it to sleep (courtesy of polyrythmic) and it does work. I put Lock 2.0 on my phone and am having the same wake lock issue on Donut. I know with the installer on the rootfs.img, the volume down button is mapped but how to get a readout of all the buttons (specifically the power button)? One other issue is that I have to have the device awake to force it to sleep because even if the power_state says "sleep" it isn't unless you force it through the shell. While I can't figure out how to override that function-- too deep in the system, it's not impossible. I don't know what I can do in the kernel to get this to work but maybe we should start collaborating here on that so we can come up with some kind of plan
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
Don't you have problems by finding apps in the Market?

There are a lot of people getting this issue.

We are missing apps such as Photoshop, Screenshot and stuff.

And the only way I've found, is by downloading them manually and then -> SD card -> Manual install

But, through Market I can't find them.

As I said in other posts, on Donut this wasn't happening.

If that IS indeed a problem with the rom release, it could help a lot by being fixed :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Pandemic187:
It's been mentioned before that these apps aren't compatible with QVGA (or something along those lines), so they won't show up while you have a QVGA resolution (i.e. 240x320). But if you put your phone in 320x480 and boot up with no data.img, you'll be able to download them. You then switch it to QVGA , reboot, and you're set.

Also, I've encountered this problem on Donut so I'm not sure why you wouldn't have.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] :
Yeah, as you said, I went without problems cause I used Donut in native resolution.

Then later changed to 240x320.

I'm gonna try native in Eclair's. Thanks :)

Continue like that...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jmhalder:
I know there are quite a few posts on it, but nothing that is super clear on what needs to be done.

Partitioning your SD card for a Data/system/swap:

Download Gparted-live CD

Format SD card as: *what should be logical/primary?*

1:Main memory *remainder of space* as FAT32

2:data as 256mb ext2

3:system as 256mb ext2

4:swap as 100mb swap

then the second and third partitions should be automatically recognized and you just have to use the installer (vol_down at prompt) to wipe and use the second partition as data and install the system to the third partition. As for using the 4th partition as swap, i Believe you need to change the xxx.conf file to show:

#Linux swap parameters
#
# linux swap can only be enabled if cc_backingswap_en is set to "0"
#
linux_swap{
linux_swap_en=1	# enable(1) or disable(0) linux swap
linux_swap_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 # swap partition device
}

only thing i changed was the "linux_swap_en=" to 1 (it was 0), and although mine defaulted to mmcblk0p4, i guess some have mmcblk0p3 and need to be changed...

is this all correct? will the system.img/sqsh be deleted after install? if not, should it be deleted?

Reason for me posting up MY procedure is so someone can check it and let me know if i'm doing anything wrong Thanks in advance!

*EDIT1: after accidentally erasing and recovering my partition table for my other desktop, I partitioned as shown above, booted, and still shows "using system.img on /sdcard/? anyone know why?*

*EDIT2: ok, apparently you have to use the "upgrade" feature on the installer, so vol_down for everything, and it seemed to install, then said "use data.img"? and i THINK i said yes(vol_down), rebooted, and those files are gone!!! guessing it successfully installed!!!! sweet, dont know how to check to see if the swap is working though.*

this no sleep state thing sucks, once that gets sorted, i think i could use this daily! I downgraded to a 1.70x radio from 1.71x radio, seems better, and people have had issues with WM and the newwer radio too.. also downgraded to a naked 6.1 rom, cant wait to use this daily!

Hmm that's interesting but at least you were able to get a correct position at all =)

I do believe I am using the latest 1.71 something radio as recommended but I might try flashing some different radios later to see if it helps.

What I find the oddest is that it claims on google maps that I'm some place about 150 miles away from where I am using the tower based "psudo" gps, (claiming to be accurate to within something like 1000 metres). Which is obviously crazily wrong.

I am having what I would call an unusal issue. The battery life fluctuates. Some days with consistent lite use the bettery will only go down to around 80% and other days it will zero in the same timeframe. I do not use the device as much as I formally did but still use it daily. The device is fast and clean. Running on SD with the one I have an issue with.

I have not applied the BT, wifi or full market updates just running the 2.1G version.

I do not shut the device down either except to reboot or battery drain. The battery issue usually shows up after the second or third day without reboot. To get the device back operational takes like 3-4 reboots and some 10 minutes. I also charge all night every night, new battery(2800mAh) a few weeks ago.

FYI, I have an extra Tilt that I am using for testing of the NAND for functionality so if you want another tester for builds I can help. Not any good at developing software, plus don't know enough of linux to be helpful.
