[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GerardSamija:
Thank you very much for that stylez. I'm reading through the pages of that thread, and while so far the latest CAB there hasn't quite made decent quality two-way recording for my Kaiser, it's considerably improved from what it was yesterday. Nice.

Trying the 'old' camera trick (sorry for re-publishing ancient news - I've only had this Kaiser a few days, so just getting caught up. On testing it this morning I found a number of tries didn't work at all. Not sure why. Then just now I tried it again and it worked fine, though delivering only about 15 to 20fps, not quite smooth. I did back to back tests without and then with the trick, and there was about a tripling of framerate from A to B. Guess I'll just have to keep practicing to get it down solid.

And I probably will remove part of the shielding over the camera lens, carefully. The lens in the body itself has a flat glass cover so no real risk of damage there, as it's recessed behind the battery cover. Occasional cleaning of dust is necessary anyway with a pocketable camera, so this just adds the step of slipping off the battery cover to do that. The phone I have was used for a few months, then left in an office drawer for over a year. Not a lot of wear, but obviously some fine scratching of the coating on the camera lens protective filter. Removing it will improve imaging, and the glass lens cover beneath is about the same as on my old HTC Elfin. That one has held up very well.

I hear windex helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] drutort:
lol ya i gave up using the camera really, i know im just caring around a big brick, with the advantage that its touch screen and has a keyboard... otherwise its not used much for anything else, unfortunately there are a million other phones that would meet this basic need, though im not getting burned by HTC again or any other phone maker...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GerardSamija:
I'm getting better at the timing with tricking the camera into responding quickly for stills, and getting 15fps and better almost all the time. This afternoon was fairly sunny here, and I shot a few videos of my son at the playground. Checking them later on my Asus 901 they look quite good. And contrary to many comments saying pointing at bright light kills the effect, I was able to shoot almost directly into the sun without losing frame rate.

Oddly, VLC gives an audio codec cannot be found error. Guess I'm off for yet another codec hunt. Windows 7 has mostly been pretty solid in supporting things like that, but I guess VLC stands apart from the OS in terms of codecs.

Windex? Nah, bit of a rub with a shirt end is fine. It's not a camera for making museum grade images. It's convenient, when I don't want to carry a bulky HD camera with proper optics around with me.

Hi every1 here, my G1's wifi seemed doesn't work properly

Here's the details:

At first, i've got a lot of Force close error, so i reboot my device and found that it stuck at the first splash screen. So i wiped ext3 and reflashed the same rom, but the problem persists.

Then i download the AOSP rom and flashed and successed. but the WiFi notified me "Couldn't enable wifi" while i'm trying to enable it.

I though it maybe the permission problem of wpa_applicant.conf, and i managed to fix that, but no go.

I then tried to flash the "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721", and then the ROM. At this time, the WiFi could be enabled, but after it running for a while, it stuck right there(the icon showed that you're connected, but the fact is not), so i tried to disable the WiFi, and met this "Couldn't disable WiFi".

That's so weird.

And i also found that if i unplugged my TF card, this problem is gone.

But if i replugged in my TF card, no matter repartitioned or wiped, the problem shows again.

And if the TF card is FAT32 partition only, there won't be this problem...

Thank u for reading this.

And, is there any1 could help me ?

THanx in advance!

g1 wifi not working....

I HAVE kind of a similar problem

i have a TP-LINK wireless router and ive tried connecting to it through my device.

it connects perfectly and it worked once i dont know how after trying for like a million times but once i disconnected it didnt after that

i read somewhere for link sys that by changing the wep key to wpa tpik or something like that

it still doesnt work

im hopeless, every gadget of mine works with the same TP link router

my psp worked my iphone does even my notebook

just that my G1 isnt working at all

it even gets an ip and an excellent signal strenght but the internet doesnt seem to work

Can anyone please HELP..........
[G1 General] ss1271:
Try different channels.

located in G1's Wireless Option, then press menu, advanced.

U should change the channels of your Router at the same time.

Wifi Problem on G1

I dont know what went wrong with my phone as i brought a used G1 and it was working fine. I dont know whether its rooted or not but every thing was working fine but today.

I hard reseted my phone due to slow working. and i did install all the application which i was running before. My wifi was working fine as well ( I am using D-Link router ). I turn it off and after an hour or two i turn back it on. first it shows that turning on then it shows unable to start wifi.

I did reset my phone again but the same problem. after restarting phone first time it do take few minutes like its searching for signals but then it shows unable to start wifi.

I was also using wifi analyzer from android market.

Given below is detail to my G1.

If any one have any solution do email me i be really very great full.

Model number : T-Mobile G1

Firmware Version : 1.6

Baseband Version : 62.50SC.20.17H_2.22.23.02

Build number : DMD64

my email id is bilal.balouch@gmail.com

please do help as i dont know what is the problem.
[G1 General] ibraheeemz:
you should use biffmod 2.0.1, it will solve your problem most probably

WiFI Problems

Hi Friends.

1) You can try with an OEM battery pack. (worked for me on one)

2) You can try with a different daugther board. (worked for me on anotherone)

Please let me know about your experience.
[General Questions and Answers] husky_motox:
Wonder if anyone can help, I have the above and when I try to use texts and the internet it comes up with the error message Phone not ready wait 15 seconds and try again. The phone is unlocked and the rom upgraded. I am trying to use it in Qatar with a Qtel Sim.

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smhussain:
I have bought htc mytouch 3g for my wife to replace her iphone. The phone is unlocked. just two questions:

1. if i flash it with a custom rom from this forum. will my phone become locked again.

2. Which is considered to be most stable rom around here which adds sense UI to mytouch.

I am a noob, i searched but didn't understand any of the technical jargon.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stian230:
If your phone is unlocked, it will not be locked if you are flashing a ROM

and a stable room, many of those here.

Do you have 32A or B version?

What room will you or your wife have? sense, Eclair, donut.?

Bidra med en bedre oversettelse
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stian230:
room = ROM

sorry
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] melterx12:
mytouch 3G = 32B

there is no Sense UI ROM for mytouch 3G that isnt laggy as hell unfortunatly. your best bet is CyanogenMod latest version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yayayay:
There is Sense UI-ROM:s which you can flash and have as daily use, for sure. But I'd suggest Dwang as ROM and Darkstar as theme. Unbeatable!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zmesler:
NOOOO there really is no need to change ROM for your wife. I believe that stock ROM will do everything she requires. I promise you you will face a lot of problems and issues trying to flash custom ROM. Just leave it as it is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smhussain:
Okay

My phone has 32B motherboard meaning less ram.

So as i understand sense UI is not an option for me. Can somebody tell me if android 1.6 or android 2.0 have been officially released for t-mobile mytouch. If yes, where can i get a copy of this. If not, can you provide me a link to what you consider to be the bestest custom rom for t-mobile mytouch 3g.
[G1 General] xdaofficeuser111:
Hi,

I go through the forum but unfortunately cannot find anything related to my inquiry. I use a custom ROM and go to /system/app to delete some unnecessary applications (e.g. Mail.apk), however, the saved space cannot be used for my 3rd party app installation. My dream was 9MB free before I remove system apps, it is 9MB again after their removal.

Is it possible to give more space to the 3rd party app application, given the sacrifice of system apps???
[G1 General] Ace42:
Are you sure that you are clearing cache?

Maybe you dont have apps2sd working for you.
[G1 General] Ace42:
Just do either one from terminal..

type:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Then type:

cd /system/app

then you can type "ls" to list the contents of the directory.

Or

su

cd /system/sd/app

ls

or if you dont have EXT2/3/4

su

cd /system/app

ls
[G1 General] xdaofficeuser111:
Yes I don't have app2sd enabled.

My dream is always having 9MB left so it is very inconvenient .... But I don't want to run app2sd so that speed could be improved ....

That's why I want to remove some unnecessary apps in the /system/app (e.g. Mail.apk which consumes 2MB!) so that I can have more space for my applications.

cd /system/app

ls

Shows all the pre-installed applications (those coming with the custom ROM)

Thanks for answering!
[G1 General] Ace42:
Now do

-rm appname.apk

You have to reboot when your done though.
[G1 General] xdaofficeuser111:
Theoretically it should work?

Because I removed Mail.apk, and rebooted. The free space left on the phone is still the same ....

Are those applications in different partitions or something wrong with my setup?

I am using AOSP r1.6 .....
[G1 General] akapoor:
o_O

Never heard that before.

Try removing applications that have higher file sizes, like the browser. You should see a change then.

And, as mentioned earlier, clear your cache.
[G1 General] xdaofficeuser111:
I did - I even removed the largest one - Mail.apk. But I found that my space was not released .... :(

I cleaned my cache nearly every hour .... :(

I had a horrible experience with App2SD so I would rather keep all the apps on my G1 ram .....
[G1 General] akapoor:
What ROM is this?
[G1 General] xdaofficeuser111:
AOSP 2.4.2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538456

But even when I was using CM and Dwang before the same happen - I deleted apps in system/app, but available space for my app installation hadn't increased .....

When I moved from Dwang to AOSP, I had to remove a lot of my apps as a result because AOSP consumed more space than Dwang .... but when I deleted the system apps in /system/app one by one .... the space wasn't recovered ....

No matter how many times I cleared the cache and reboot .... :(
[G1 General] xdaofficeuser111:
That's why I start to think if /system/app and my 3rd party applications are on different partitions??? So that releasing space on one will not benefit the other ......

Does it make sense?
[G1 General] B-man007:
yes you are right

system apps are on the /system partition

other apps are on the /data partition under /data/app

you need to clean the /data partition to get space back. you can clear the dalvik-cache and maybe get some space. Make sure you clear the browser cache because that takes about 8mb of space on average

god youre dumb
[G1 General] B-man007:
the only way is by flashing the haykuro spl as if it was possible through scripts then the G1 would have been able to upgrade to better ROM's officially such as 2.0 without having to compress things
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
Wow, that's what I said only longer. Good job stretching out information
[G1 General] xdaofficeuser111:
Thanks! I am already on Danger SPL ....

Look like my dream is to the limit ..... :(
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
Yep, it is
[G1 General] Ace42:
You might as well use apps2sd again, but make sure you wipe when switching b/t roms.
[G1 General] cloverdale:
Everyone here seems pretty certain about this, so please correct me if I am wrong, but we can make the system or data partition via creating symlinks to the cache. The cache is used to download and install OTA updates, and thus is a useless 45MB partition on the dream. The haykuro spl takes this space and adds it to the system, thus allowing users to flash large updates. The same amount of space can be created through proper symlinks (be very careful if you attempt to create any to the system). I have set up symlinks to allocate cache memory to the system in order to flash large metamorph updates. It seems equally likely that one could symlink a folder in /data/ with a folder in the cache. Can anyone prove me wrong?
[G1 General] B-man007:
No you are correct about this, but if you apps on the data partition and only have ~9mb out of ~76mb of space, with the stock SPL, you only have ~69mb of space on the cache partition. You can only have the apps directory on EITHER the /data partition OR on the /cache partition (you can't split them up)

The only way to have a benefit from symlinking is to send the cache over there (since there is more space on the /data partition, thus more space for apps), but the amount of space that comprises the cache on the /data is relatively small. You cannot have apps installed in two directories other than the /system apps and the /data apps. Also, in doing so, it will cause system instability. It would be more advantageous to have apps2sd which he does not want to do.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wuchacarlsee:
i have been playing around with my tp and i noticed when i had it in my pocket it made a very flappy-like noise. and when i examined it i noticed when the slide out keyboard is not displayed everytime i tap the screen the whole layer pushes back and wobbles. but when the keyboard is out it seems pretty steady.

any way to fix this??:confused:

thanks in advance:o
[G1 General] spiritplumber:
It's all done through vnc right now so the latency is bad, but that's easy to fix by using a dedicated app.... window 0 is video, window 1 is the debug output from vnc, window 2 is the output from the daughterboard and also where you send commands to steer with. Using channel 1 and 2 for steering, channel 3 for tilting the camera (well, tilting the mirror) so you have 5 free for a manipulator or whatever. Also 6 slots for sensors.

I'd like to point out that unlike a Predator drone, the video and data feeds have proper encryption :P

Sorry for the bad quality of the external pictures: I use the G1 as my main camera and had to dig out an old webcam.

Code and schematics for the daughterboard available on request, if you want a built-up daughterboard I gotta charge you for it, though.
[G1 General] Ace42:
you made me think of mw2 when you said predator drone.
[G1 General] spiritplumber:
Update: Video!

You ssh into the g1 to steer it and get video back through vnc.

[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Let me get this straight. You have created a vehicle which is controlled by a G1 which itself can be controlled remotely? is this done by Wifi or 3G? Please post more details, it looks like a fun thing to do once I retire my G1, especially if I could control it from another Android phone.
[G1 Android Development] spiritplumber:
Yes, the G1 is connected to a daughterboard that uses the serial port on the ExtUSB plug to talk to a microcontroller, which in turn can deal with servos and sensors. The G1 can be controlled with ssh (I prefer to work in linux shell land) and sends images back via VNC. This can be done through any sort of network connection, I tested it with 3G and it works, now using wifi because I don't have to pay Vodafone for airtime that way. Next step is to get better video feedback and port the universal autopilot I wrote for the Parallax Propeller onto the g1.

No... android development is when you develop Android, not hack the hardware. This isn't any new ideas or improvements, it's just an interesting use for what we already have.

Don't get me wrong, I think what you've done is extremely impressive (weird, funny, and makes me say "Why???!?!," but impressive). Kudos to you for your work. It's definitely not Android development, but it's a simple mistake, which is why everyone on this forum isn't bashing you mercilessly for it like we do when someone posts a thread here saying, "Plz help tried to instal dis moto clik thing n now all i see is Tmobil G1." A mod will move it soon, so don't sweat it.

But seriously, dude.... WTF?!? inspired you to do this?
[G1 Android Development] spiritplumber:
I make my money building ship autopilots and wanted to do something that you can buy with less than $100 if you already have a g1. Also, I think those rc-car-with-camera toys are spiffy but have very limited range, so let's do something about that :)

re developing Android, I think this will turn into a "you see what my camera sees and viceversa" application, which I am sure has been done already, but I need to make it work through ssh.
[G1 Android Development] vixsandlee:
I dont care if its develepment or not (nor the whys) I think if you have the knowledge to build something like this, then why the hell not its fun.

Absolutely. This is awesome, and my inner geek is very happy seeing this. I want a video of this in action! (Seriously, someone loan this guy a camera)

I think I'll have a video of it moving around today (had to build a proper battery charger for the thing). As a warning the "first person" video will obviously use the androids camera and be decent, but the "external" video will be really low res (320x240) because it's all I could find and I don't want to buy a new camera. Although it would be amusing to use another g1 to steer the g1. What I'm looking into doing is saving up for a g2 to put in the glider, since due to lack of keyboard they're lighter... but I like the keyboard!
