No data

Hi Myn,

Congratulations for your rom and thanks. A lot, I have polaris and i had no data connection with first release, with the second i had, but now with third release i haven't.

I used i blank data img, formated, differnt apn vodafone esp, but... no result.

Could you give me a hand?

Thanks and agains congratulations! It is incredibly fast!

I noticed this IMMEDIATELY when trying this release. I really need to press hard on the screen to scroll through something or else it just launches one of the apps instead.

It might not be the build but some kernel/etc. changes. One way to try to figure this out would be to use an older version of those files and see if the responsiveness improves (given that it might break some other things that depend on the newer updates).

Anyone still have those older files to give it a shot?

Is there a way to associate a different gmail account without doing a hard reset?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] bobzero:
Thank you, but when I try to do that it says "No reset was preformed because the System Clear service is not available."
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
I was wondering if I could get some feedback.

I'm planning on doing A LOT more UI changes in the next release.

I have some ideas but wanted to bounce it off of people.

How do you feel about a custom icon pack that makes almost all of the icons consistently themed? I'm all about consistency as you guys know but at the same time I can't accommodate for applications installed outside of the base rom so if you'll have a mixed bag of themed icons and some icons that aren't themed. (As an example, See screenshot below where I purposely left Calibrate screen and Custom Locale with their default icon)

And how do you guys feel about widgets? Would you prefer I add more or are Widgets so personal, leave it up to you guys to add the ones you'll use?

I appreciate everyone's thoughts and opinions.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] zakkain:
I like the widgets you have now, they're the ones I want and they look great.

As for custom icons? HELL YES that would be great!

<3
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
i love the widget idea. but no the icon idea. i dont like the idea of some of the icons will not change
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
THANK YOU!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pyrator:
widgets = the more the better

Icons = ... i think no b/c it would suck to have all my icons match except for like 2 apps i install lol.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] loserskater:
I also agree with keeping the widgets but leaving the icons. Especially if all the icons are black & white like the pic. I like to have color (like the widgets)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Nick N:
I like the the idea of custom widgets on the home screen. I usually use contacts, messages, browser, gmail, etc. The Taskiller widget looks out of place on my home screen, the ones in your screenshot would look better with it.

Also, do you have any plans to update the G icon at the top? It doesn't bother me but I have seen quite a few posts about wanting the 3G instead...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
what is this superuser permissions? i click it and nothing happens but black screen
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
so is there a fix for the camcorder yet? I can access video mode, but cannot record anything - i can only take pictures.

also, how to you get GPS to work? mine just says it is searching for GPS all day long when i have the nav program open.

thanks

[Touch CDMA Android Development] derringdo:
I still have release 2 on my computer so I'll test it out again to compare. I'm definitely seeing a difference for the worse with release 3. Where can we ask about the changes in the kernel regarding touch sensitivity? I assume Myn doesn't touch that stuff.

Edit: Release 2 is definitely much more sensitive (or release 3 is much less so). 2 is super responsive and smooth, 3 requires a lot more pressure and is choppy.

Noticed a couple of other posts concerning the data connection on Polaris, just tried the 20/02 sqsh package and cannot connect through 2g or 3g. So is it safe to say Data is not working with Polaris? If anyone else could test and confirm I'd be grateful. Wifi connects fine with the updated SQSH posted yesterday however the lack of data is a major blow.

Other than that, the overall speed increase is amazing!! Great work!! Not had enough time to test out the battery fully but so far it seems to be an improvement over the last update. Thanks for the hard work Myn!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
This has to be with the new basefiles/nbh as I haven't touched anything in the networking side of things.

Can you do me a favor and confirm this?

Try using the previous release's basefiles/nbh with the 02-20-2010 tar and see if data works.

I greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks

[Touch CDMA Android Development] skipbarker:
I have to say Myn, you have outdone yourself with the 2/20 release. Battery life is greatly improved with this build and the addition of working usb mass storage without tweaks is very nice.

Keep up the good work. :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rodeo_lar:
Thanks for the awesome release and it sure is FAST !!!

As part of feedback yeah more widgets would be great prefer the icons to remain the same.

I am not sure if this is an Android/google maps thing but would it be possible to take a location (My location) from google maps and be able to link it directly to an existing contact? Right now if I take a location from google maps there is no way to add it as an address of an existing contact !

Also it would be great to have a sliding screen unlock option.. :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Thanks for the kind words :)

I've got more in store. I've already begun working on the next release.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
Loving it so far. My battery is still full from today.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
Are you willing to share with us what you have in store for your next release or is it a suprise. haha
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
I usually have a charter set out for each release. As you know this past release was all about core system functionality enhancements.

This next release has a focus on user interface and applications.

I have a list a mile long of ideas I would like to add from an auto-update system to implementing a SweetHome theming system to adding things as simple as widgets and even resoliving the Market resolution issue.

Alot of the time I spend is experimenting with different things to see what works well and what doesn't. And things that don't work well that are important enough, get fixed or ported so they do work.

With that said, the list of items for each release fills itself as I make progress in certain areas. There are things that I started back in December that I still haven't completed yet but I certainly would like to.

As I make more progress I will be sure to share with you what I am working on but at the same time I am a sucker for Santa Claus and surprises so you can always count on those too :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
well you know how to say alot without saying a damn thing. haha i cannot wait to see what you do in the future. 2-20 is fantastic so far .
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
Yeah, on every WM ROM I ever flashed, GPS worked great. Got locks within 30 seconds, without a data plan in TomTom Navigator.

just tested data connection on my polaris and it works right away, don´t know if it´s 2g or 3g, i just see the litte g-icon with the arrows, but it´s working. i´m running android from nand, maybe that makes any difference?!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
Hey myn what is a sweethome theming system? And by auto- update system do you mean like a fixed system updater apk? And I am running this build with the eclair theme on nand. System and data on nand for maximum speed and I'm not joking when I say that litterally every app opens within a half a second. No exaggeration. Keep up the good work! :)

Ps. How do you upload pics or files on xda from your phone? I tried but it says uploads disabled. How do I enable?

Anyone else having installation problems here? Am installing onto my SD card and it's going VERY slowly (has been a few hours now) through a black screen with white code that occasionally changes/moves. Got into the install menu ok but there doesn't seem to be an end in sight to this installation. When I tried earlier it also went a few hours, my battery died, and then haret could no longer be run from my vogue, so I had to recopy the folder into the root of my SD card. Is there a problem with the SD card, or is there some other issue I'm not aware of that's happening? Have been running 6.5 on an unlocked vogue for months with no problems and just wanted to give android a try!

Thanks in advance

edit: one line is reading "INFO: task kadspd:16 blocked for more than 120 seconds." on every other screen that seems to be updating now every 30 seconds. Most of the words are just code and different write commands and what look like memory addresses. Does this mean anything?

Android takes about 3 minutes to install.after that you just hit menu and then hit quit. Then it will boot into android
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
2-20 looks awesome so far. Thanks:D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Once it hits that section where it's "a black screen with white code that occasionally changes/moves," you should be able to hit the Center D-Pad button (or one of the buttons) and it should go back to the install menu and choose "Quit." This happened to me the first time I had tried to install Android this way.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] grktaurus83:
Yea, thanks for verifying that. Glad to know I'm not crazy.

Though I'm suprised that no one else is noticing/experiencing this issue as it's such a significant change in feel. Maybe everyone just presses that hard on their touch screen normally? Haha!

I can't seem to get data working in this build 2-20 - I notice it has some APNs built in, but just changing the username/password to TelecomNZ's details doesn't work. It worked fine in the previous build (x.15). Running from SD
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Make sure there is an APN with MCC=310 and MNC=995 with your username and password set and that it is selected (has a green dot by it in the list).

The old initrd set this up for you but we took it out for people without a data plan.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drewden123:
Make sure all the location settings are turned on firstl. If they are, get into a terminal and try:

su

echo -e "AT+HTC_GPSONE=0\r" > /dev/smd0

According to dzo sometimes the gps is disabled somehow and that command enables it.

data works on polaris

Hi myn,

I have use previous basefiles as you recomended to another person to try to solve data conection on polaris. I have use zimage-moisha from another build and data worked. So this is the clue to have data on polaris users.

Hope it helped you for realease 4.

Thanks a lot for you great work!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
Thanks for confirming.

I am not familar with zimage-moisha. Is this a specific zImage made for Polaris users?

I am wondering if perhaps these changes can be incorporated into the current zImage?

Thanks again

Quick question, I have noticed this since I first started using android, and this is on every build I've tried, I noticed that when sliding from different screens or pretty much just moving from left to right that at the top of the screen it gets a little line of fuzziness. Is it just mine or is it like this for everyone?

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Nick N:
So did I. Just wiped my data image and it still does it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Carrick1973:
I am as well. I thought it was because I changed the density from 160 to 120, but when I changed it back to 160, I am still getting F/C on maps and Google Voice. Strangely enough, when I used the 240 x 320 NBH file, it didn't change the resolution - the resolution stayed at 320 x 460 after the flash reset. I - for the life of me - can't get it to change resolution, no matter if I use the 2/19 or 2/20 file, so right now, I'm keeping it at 320 x 460 with density of 160. I wonder if dzo made changes to the rest of the files for battery and performance changes, but forgot to make the resolution changes.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] slow88lx:
I made the leap to Android on NAND and I couldn't be happier!

I'm amazed that Android can take a smaller keyboard and be more accurate with it than Window's keyboard which is twice the size.

I hope you guys are right about the sensitivity problem, because that might be my only complaint so far, but it really only gets me when I am sliding. "Tapping" still feels normal, but I do notice having to hold my finger down longer to get something to slide.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
I really don't see why people are saying its hard to scroll. Its a hell of a lot easier with this build, I wouldn't be surprised if I could use my breath to slide the screen cause it's so easy lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] lynxboy:
I wrote that post regarding the Haret SQSH package however, I decided to try from NAND as you suggested, but using the latest package and basefiles.

Originally I found that the data was still not working, but then noticed dzo's recommendation to another user regarding MCC and MNC settings. I changed the settings according to my network (Orange UK) and strangely the APN "disappeared" from the list after saving. Even though the APN is not visible in the settings, the modem made a connection and now works.

So it seems the data issue on Polaris may be surrounding the MCC and MNC settings in the APN information. Maybe other Polaris users struggling to connect should try find the correct settings from their network provider, as the default (MCC 310 MNC 260) may not work for you.

I will try repeat the steps from a fresh flash to see if the same thing happens.

Thanks for the suggestion and help.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
My sensitivity is fine too.

I am wondering if its a NAND vs SDcard thing?

I'm using SDcard via EXT2 and sensitivity is fine.

To those with sensitivity issues what are you running it on?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crobs808:
The GPS is still not working for me, even though all my Windows Mobile ROMs had working GPS (without a data plan using TomTom, got locks within 30 seconds). Anyone know how to get GPS working w/o a data plan on Vogue Android?

Also, since you have to have data to use Google maps, does anyone have a working version of CoPilot 8 for 240x320 screens? The one I installed is all slanted, and you cannot see the whole program, then the programs just shuts down after the initial startup.

This probably has nothing to do with your build specifically, myn, but my battery life (while I think it is better) is reporting completely bonkers numbers. I've got a battery indicator widget and it jumps from 92% down to 82% when I browse the web for a few minutes, then I close the browser and leave the phone alone for a minute, and then it reports 88% and then a minute later its up at 90% again.

Real world battery life is great, but I never know how long I actually have left, its all over the place.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
I am using the free battery widget and it moves around a bit, but it is not bad.

I have not plugged the phone in for 24 hours and I am at 60% life. I have made a few phone calls, downloaded a number of apps, and sent some text messages. For the most part, I have just been playing around with the phone and getting used to Android. I am very pleased with the battery life.

MARKET APPS:

I recommend app TasKiller which is free. Lots of settings but it will auto-kill apps in the background based on your settings. You can also specify which apps to never kill. I also recommend Handcent SMS which is also free. Its a awesome texting app with tons of settings.

I am on the hunt for a compact QWERTY with larger keys, I have a heck of a time typing on this keyboard. There is one for $3 on the market but I am wondering if anyone has created a theme or update which already has this....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] CasopoliS:
This is an Andoird question, but is there another way to access notifications without sliding the upper bar down? That bar is thin and sometimes I have a hard time with it. It would be cool to have a widget icon that just pulls up your notifications window - it would be easier for me to pull it up by clicking an icon. Seems so silly, but it would be great. Maybe there is something already available and I have just not found it.

Oh yea... ANDROID >>>>> WM

by far. I ran many different ROMS on WM and nothing compares to Android. So simple to use, so intuitive, and "clean" screens.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
Well your using sdcard and your sensitivity is good and I'm on nand and my sensitivity is excellent. So I don't think its an sdcard vs nand thing. Maybe its all in there heads lol I did notice that if you calibrate the screen but press as lightly as you can, like barely tap it, it really does help a lot!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] lynxboy:
I've always used the Haret SQSH method of running Android, and today was the first time I flashed to NAND and there was definitely a difference in sensitivity. Nothing major, but sliding between homescreens was where it was most noticeable. I'm using a Polaris 200 if it makes any difference.

This is the answer. I was using the stylus and pressing firmly(thinking I was ensuring an accurate alignment). It didn't occur to me that the sensitivity was being calibrated. It's much better now, thanks!

Does the screen need recalibrating after every restart or am I just crazy again?(I'm running 100% from NAND)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Carrick1973:
Make sure you hit the menu button and click on Save from within the calibrate screen app. I thought I was going crazy until someone pointed that out.

Polaris FIX!

I was just about to post confirming the working fix!! I've tested on NAND with the latest basefiles 20/02/10, nomorootfs and also classic haret SQSH method. With every method the data isn't working until the MCC and MNC have been edited to the correct values.

Firstly, set up your APN without editing the MCC and MNC, as this allows you to select the APN via the green button. Once you have selected your desired non working APN, go back and edit the details of the MCC and MNC to the specific values set by your provider, and then press menu and SAVE!!

This should result in the APN disappearing from the list, however after a 30 second wait, the "G" icon should appear and you should be connected.

I can only confirm this is working for me, using Polaris 200 (O2 XDA ORBIT 2) and on the Orange UK network. I had no problems with the previous build and didn't need to mess with the MCC and MNC. Hopefully it should work across the board. Let me know if you are still struggling.

Thanks to Myn and dzo for posting the information needed to figure this out.
