Battery charge is figidity.

Everytime I try to use android my battery will say 4% once I boot into it, I'll charge it to 100% then start using it. It will get to about 96% then jump back to 4% and die soon after.

I've tried to drain the battery to 0 then charge it back all the way from there but I don't understand how that will fix it considering Windows Mobile detects the battery life as different usually like 56% (Which is still not correct, I remove my battery and it says 0% in WinMo) when Android detects 0%.

After I plug it in so I can actually boot to Android without it dying, it will charge normally for an hour and then it says 100% and stops charging (shows no charger is connected like it says on the wiki page), then it gets to 96% and hops down to 4% again.

Anyone else have this issue who resolved it? Right now I bought an extended battery for my Tilt and hoping that will fix it and it's just that my battery is broken, (Need that twice the life anyways). So if anyone else has figured this out could you give me a step by step on how you fixed it? I know Android on Kaiser has always had problems with the battery but no one else seems to be complaining about only being able to use the Android for 20 minutes before it dies on them.

Phone - AT&T Tilt 8925

SPL -1.0.0liPof

ROM - STAXXTANIUM V03 (Build 23529)

Radio - 1.71.09.01

I had this *exact* problem until I bought a new battery. I ended up getting a rayovac 1200mAh and it's working like a pro.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Otnehs:
Thanks for the fast response kaboofa.

I'll let everyone know if the extended battery I bought fixes the problem when I get it.

For those of you with wifi problems...

@modsrule: no dhcp settings were changed, it probably has to do with the network traffic and android's power level settings, as discussed previously.

For those of you having wifi problems:

Attached to this post is a zip with the androidupdate.tar that will change your tiwlan.ini back to the old one. This will be harder on battery life and will probably cause the hot battery problem like before, but the wifi connection should be more stable. If (like me) you are not having WiFi problems, do not use this update!

To install it, place the androidupdate.tar in your andboot folder, enter the installer during boot and choose Upgrade.

There is probably a happy medium between the old and new setups, but since I'm not having any Wifi problems I can't test a fix, I can only guess at it. If anyone finds better settings for tiwlan.ini, please let me know!

Is there anyway to partition the SD card within Windows? Specifically, Windows 7?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] j101399j:
There are programs that claim to do it, but I have never been successful. You can do it in android on your phone. Check out the FAQ's there is a link on how to do it and it works great
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Ok, if you're crazy about testing,

I present polymod 2.1a4 experimental. It is the exact same as 2.1a4 except that the .pngs have been optimized and compcache has been lowered to 16MB. Overall the .png optimization saves 8MB, and some of the central components see the most optimization (Launcher, Framework, Email). The reason this is 'experimental' is because optimizing system apps as I have can sometimes cause FCs -- I've been running this all week without trouble, but YMMV. It is faster to load in some cases, but I'm working on getting it faster than this.

Don't forget to backup your data in case this doesn't work for you! I did a full data & system wipe to install this, and that is the safest way to go. If you do want to try to keep your data, use the installer to back up your data, then use the installer to wipe the dalvik cache. After you've wiped the dalvik-cache install the system. I haven't tried this so let me know if it works!

Last but not least, thanks again to the donors, I'm adding credit in the OP now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kaboofa:
I just did with the filesystem what you did with the androidupdate.tar. I plan on creating a few shell scripts that will tweak the tiwlan.ini file for "normal" (e.g.: default 2.1a4), and "old".

When I have some more free time I'll upload them.

Would it be okay to install the wifi patch on top of a fresh install of the experimental version?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Johnster988:
Hello I am trying to run the newest Eclair version but I can not get past the intro it always stops me with a "failed to load system..." or a "ext2 partion is unreadable for the superblock..." I have followed the troubleshooting guides and both of my partitions are over 1gb so therefore that shouldn't be the problem. The furthest I can get into the instillation problem is the menu but it lacks the button to "Install System."

Market Download doesn't work over WiFi

Hi all,

I have what may be a unique situation. My cell service (AT&T) is disconnected, so I use my Tilt to sync to Exchange at work over wifi. This works fine with WM 6.x and Active Sync.

With the 4a build (and prior ones, for that matter), I can connect to the market sometimes, but can never actually download an app. When I locate an app (Exchange for Android 2.x for example) and specify to install it, the screen indicates that it is "Starting download...", but it never does, not for hours.

In the meantime, I have download the app from the owner's website and it is installed and communicating with Exchange, so wifi is working - just not to download Market apps. :(

Has anybody else had a similar problem? Again, I am using wi-fi. Does anybody know what ports the Market app uses to communicate with the Market and to download apps? Perhaps that is the problem.

Thanks for any insight into this! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] polyrhythmic:
WOW

Very sorry to have missed this before. Please download this update as soon as possible to make your Android animations as smooth as butter! Also, it solves the copybit error.

DOWNLOAD SUPER IMPORTANT UPDATE HERE

Open the zip, extract the androidupdate.tar to your andboot folder, reboot and use the installer to apply the update. Then enjoy super-smooth Android 2.1 Eclair!!!! Please, let me know some feedback.

I will add a full android alpha 5 update ASAP, it's a bit hard since I'm ssh'ing into my dev machine at the moment. In the meantime, this update works with all versions of polymod 2.1a!!

Hmm, I think I moved the GenieWidget.apk into /system/app for my experimental release, it's working for me. It seems Android is more tolerant of apps in /system/app than the ones in /data/app. Uninstall the app if you have it installed, put GenieWidget.apk in your /system/app/ folder and reboot. That should solve it.

EDIT: You'll probably need to execute:

su
rwsystem

before you can move the .apk to /system/app/

still cant figure out whats wrong

so i still cant figure out why it wont boot and just keeps going through the power_wakeup scrolls. i get through install and everything and it still doesn't work even with the new one. does anyone think it can be the rom/radio i'm using? also, if it doesn't work with the sd card boot, would it be safe to try and nand it?

but i do notice during the install there's a error that says

"end_request I/O error" a lot! but eventually it does go through.

and then when it goes to the fix permissions screen it says:

"no such file or directory"

Trying to partition my 2GB SD card, and I still get the "Failed to mount /system". The instructions on how to format weren't very clear. It didn't explain how many cylinders I should make each partition.

My first partition is 932 MB and formatted by Windows as Fat32. Second and third are made out to be 256 cylinders bid, cause I didn't know how to set the size. The last one is very small, but is set as the linux swap file.

Video and audio

Running a tilt on NANd with poly's 2.1.a4 with update.

Interesting observation: Since video does not work via streaming on any 2.1 build that I have tried, everything is radio for now. At least for me. Lovin the pandora, clear as a bell.

But, if connected to WIFI using spb tv the audio is way too fast. In 3g it is normal. It sounds like the chipmunks giving the news.

Just thought maybe the too video and audio problems were related and could be solved by the same lib.

I am runnin this 24 hours a day.

BTW, if you want to calibrate your screen goto pointer dev tool-pointer location. If you hold the camera button down and touch each corner, the settings will stick until a restart. Get a baseline reading, you may see the inaccuracy on the left side edge. Then it can be corrected, until restart.

My link is to the entire SourceForge repo for Android HTC, it has the files for flashing AND the basefiles you need.

Go to the Android HTC page, then View All Files, then open folder 2009-11-16 everything starts here, and download the basefiles package.

I don't want to link directly to any basefiles package since it is often updated, so I link to the whole repo.

Let me first say to you guys this..

WOW ! Ive been following alot of these builds from early 1.0 and i gotta say this mashup here is absolutly brilliant a great example to the amount of effort put in by everybody.

My poor Windows Mobile unfortunatly did not fair well in this case :) I only continued to use it for ActivSync, however as there is native exchange support (which doesnt require a mashup of manually downloading "Work Email" and using another product) i have swiftly moved to Android and hopefully i can contribute something!

Ive uploaded a mash of the latest Kaiser/Android basefiles + files that work on my Kaiser at the start of this thread to here:

I've managed to luck into a workaround for the sleep issue, at least to meet my needs. I set up an unlock code and set it to require the code to unlock. It didn't take right away, but on reboot, it works, meaning I can carry the phone and test this build without fear of accidentally making a call or screwing things up.

This Eclair build has been a revelation. I wouldn't have thought QVGA Android could be so usable. Kudos to the folks who actually know what they're doing!

I've installed android to NAND, and it appears to be working fine. However, when I switch the phone off and try to power it back on, it's stuck on the bootloader screen. Re-flashing the installer .nbh fixes the problem, but that's hardly a workable solution :p

Hard reset doesn't help either.

persistant property ... error 2

hey all,

So i've read all the posts i could find on this problem, When pressing D-pad it doesn't load the install screen,

but throws a "persistant property ... error 2",

what i've read points to it not being able to find a data.img - i downloaded the empty data.img from j101399j's awesome polymod Eclair install guide.

When running install from haret it installs fine, but on the nand install i'm not winning - any ideas?

NAND I'm missing something :/

Hey guys... I'm having some noob issues flashing android to NAND... can you help me out? Here's the deal... :)

I'm using a KaiserCustomRUU.exe with kaisimg-panel2-320-tilt-15-02-10.nbh over USB. I've placed the androidinstall.tar on the root of my SD card.

I've got as far as the Linux terminal where the install screen comes up, there's no "Install" option however but if I select sys and data on NAND then "Quit" it goes to the "V O G U E A N D R O I D" and then "persistent property directory...error no 2" error. I'm using a 2GB microSD with no special formatting (so I guess it's FAT32 ?) really don't want to format it if possible but if that's required then I can get it done.

Since I'm installing to NAND I don't think this is a partitioning issue I think I've missed some step so can someone help me please? :)

Not sure if I can help with this problem, but I have not applied the patch and am noticing the following situation:

I am unable to get an IP address from my wifi router between ~4PM and ~12PM. Nothing else uses the wifi.

Outside of those times, I am able to get an IP address without a problem, first time.

Any ideas? My wifi channel does not overlap with any neighbours, and neighbours signals are around 30dbM lower than my own. It also makes no difference even if I place my phone next to the antenna on the router.

I have no problems with wifi however if I use a static ip.

I found the problem, it was an ip address collision on my network, my router assigned the same ip address to my phone and one of my computers.

I understand you have to press the Dpad button when it tells you to. But it says "Press the Dpad to install". I don't want to install Android on my TyTN, I just want to test Android a bit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] nyunyu:
That's how you test it AFAIK.

Once you finished playing with it, just delete the ANDBOOT, TASKKILLER, ANDROIDAPPS and other related files. Or better, clear up your SDCARD and test it (keep backup of somewhere) so when you finished, you can transfer all back.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] loserskater:
As far as the ringtones go, it sounds lke you might have a media folder on your sd card.

And try setting the lcd density to 110 to fix the dialer issue.

Youre not letting it get into the full sleep state. Somethings running making the phone not sleep. After about a minute try pressing the buttons again. I noticed after about 20 min of a new install things kinda settle down and you don't have to wait as long to get it into a full sleep
