[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I guess I'm not most people :eek:.

I've always been a hardcore Windows guy, through & through, but when I realized MS wasn't really investing in 6.5 anymore, I kind of lost hope in them, and gave up, since I knew my inferior devices wouldn't have a chance to run WP7. So, I started looking for options. Andorid was supposed to be the next "big thing", but I wasn't impressed - Windows was still going strong on my devices (thanks to the XDA community, of course), and who needs change, when you're comfortable? But I just couldn't settle with the idea of buying a new device to have to experience a new OS . . . and then, I found XDAndroid. "Android, huh?" I thought. I'm sure it's not as good as Windows Mobile . . .

But then I tried it, and it was SWEET. Even without sound, I could understand the potential of the OS, and just hoped that it would all be working on my device soon. And thanks to the very dedicated, very AWESOME XDAndroid team, it is almost there.

(sorry for that long tirade/story - just wanted to make sure no one thinks I don't appreciate the work being done here)

But anyway - Bluetooth. That is actually the ONE thing that's preventing me from using XDAndroid full time. I could even live without sound (as long as vibration was working), battery (I keep my phone on the charger all day anyway), or hardware 3D (doesn't really affect the function of the phone at this point, since software 3D is enabled). But why, you ask? How could Bluetooth be so important to you?

Well, I respond, I use BT everywhere (that's kind of the point, isn't it?). In my house, I no longer have a "home phone". I have a base unit that pairs to my cell phone, and has receivers throughout the house, so when someone calls my cell when I'm at home, all of the "house phones" ring, and that's how I answer it. Both mine and my wife's phones are paired that way.

In the car, I have a cigarette lighter BT FM transmitter, that I use as a handsfree in my car (it's illegal to hold a phone while driving in several states now), and I use it to stream music from my device over A2DP to my car stereo. It's also helpful when using Navigation to be able to hear it out of the car stereo (at least I think so).

So yes, I'd really LOVE it if Bluetooth was working. But I know it's on the list of things "to do", and since I have no ability to help get it enabled, I will digress and just express my thanks to everyone that's helped it get this far :).

On to a current issue - something that was working, but now isn't (and I miss it dearly, lol) - Voice Search. I installed the new version from the Market, but it appears the mic isn't picking anything up. I've seen a few people mention this, but I can't pinpoint exactly which kernel broke it (probably the 8/26?). I also thought that the older version of Voice Search was working, but I could be mistaken on that. Can someone else confirm whether their Voice Search is working, and specify which kernel (zImage) you're using?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Jackietreehorn:
Yes it is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
Living in California, to use this 100% either BT or speakerphone needs to be working...so other than the car this thing is always running!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] junior_8791:
Is it just on my end or are the links down for the new download?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] shinobi26:
I have to say you and Captain_Throwback a few posts ago have good points.

But realistically most people spend more time out and about than in their cars where they have a charger, or sitting at home or work with it plugged in all the time.

I'm a college student, so naturally I'm always on campus and in classes and doing things. It's obnoxious and annoying to bring a charger with me everywhere to plug in my phone. All I need is for it to last an entire day. Charge once a day, that can't be so bad can it?

You can still use your phone all the time without bluetooth. I can't. It dies.

:(

Editing as an after thought:

Power management may be the only thing that could stop me from going out and buying a Captivate. ( I see Reefer already did :D )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
thats weird.. WiFi, and WiFi Tethering works perfectly for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sancho00:
mine its ramdomly shutting off, is this an overclocking issue? everything else(that supposed to work) works fine
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zenrei:
Sound works great.

Sound works great, even a little more boosted than in WM. Though the 3.5 headphone jack still isn't working on the VZW model. Not a huge problem, but I usually hook my phone to my car stereo for music via the AUX jack. Aside from that I'm very happy with this update. I'm surprised no one from HTC is willing to help out with this project even though they seem to support the idea. It would definitely speed up the development.

To be honest, I think all smart phone manufacturers should give the option of what OS you want on your phone and make it available to download.

TMo TP2 here and I have had WiFi on all the builds since june. When I didnt have it I had to reformat my card then reinstall Android. Ive never had to turn it on in WiMo it just worked. One thing I have been doing is after the first boot to Android I go through the setup then leave the phone alone for a few mins, then I power cycle back to Android then test the functions. Hope that helps....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] businesschild:
Q/q for the users out there, since Hotmail just released ActiveSync support for users today, has anyone had any success syncing their contacts / mail / calendar info with this build of Android 2.2? It sets up perfectly for me, and says it's syncing fine, but nothing ever gets pulled down.

Lots of stock 2.2 users said their info was syncing fine, so I'm just curious if maybe the ActiveSync protocolls in this BLAZN build are twirked somehow, and it's causing sync errors.

Lemme know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
1. How long have you had the Phone? (Weeks/Months?)

2. The battery meter is not accurate in Android, its close but not perfect.

3. You do have to condition Li poly batteries

When I use Android I get right at 8hrs OC'd the meter may show 5% for 3hrs before it finally dies (or I get to a charger).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] illa215:
First of all thanks to all the developers for making this possible, but i've been having problems with my screen when in Android. At times it feels like the screen is unresponsive to my taps and at times, usually when im scrolling, it feels like its too sensitive. I've looked through the thread and couldnt find any solution. I tried deleting the calibration file and recalibrating but that didnt fix the problem. I've also tried complete reinstallation, still no success. I never had the problem in some of the older builds, the problem has existed in the last 4 - 5 builds though. Does anybody know whats wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] :
Anyone else notice how weird the Data was when you first start it up? I had to turn it on, then off, then on again just to get it to work. Then maybe after 5 minutes or so it just stopped. It was the first time I booted the newest Android Build so I'm not sure if that's why or what. By the by...fancy widgets doesn't work for me. It instantly closes as soon as I open it.

Edit: Nevermind, I think it's because I forgot to delete the previous module haha
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] :
Also, what in the world is the new addition Galroc for WVGA devices? O_O
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
im wondering about what that is also
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
+1 yea, what is Galroc?

Just updated to 30Aug

Whats supposed to work works incl WiFi (Streaming Last.Fm right now). Testing to see if sleep_mode=0 works for me.

Edit: sleep_mode=0, no SOD and OC'd to 710Mhz. Going to charge to 100% then check the batt life (Overnight). This is so sweet....

Edit 2: Off charger @ 22:20EDT night. Still using same charge as of 07:50 EDT. OC'd to 748Mhz and is stable. Again, this is sweet. Thanks to all the developers.

I tried force cDMA in the beginning, and tried scanning for my network, and nothing changed. What am I doing wrong. plz help...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
What what what? Where do you see this at?

Did you set in the band to GSM or Global?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sxyladyhussla:
Well I got it working by not checking Force CDMA in the beginning b4 booting into android. I am on T-mobile with the Verizon Tp2 world phone so my question is leave it unchecked, or is Tmobile Gsm even though I am using the CDMA TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Yes they are a GSM network. If your on Verizon check it & if your not then dont.

I just removed sleep mode fully lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sxyladyhussla:
Thank you...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
Uh, you have volume control while you are in a call?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Yes its there. Its been there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] :
EDIT!

Whoops I meant gralloc for WVGA devices! Sorry kind of screwed that up huh? Anyways...what in the world is that? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] yovy:
Im gettin a static in call pretty much whenever the phone moves...sounds like ah dollar store toy radio
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hello00:
Are you serious? get the latest build or download the fix read a few pages back it's there
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] businesschild:
T-Mobile SIM in unlocked Rhod500

I have the same set up myself. First, make sure in WiMo you set it to GSM only mode, and that it finds the T-mobile network. If you didn't SIM unlock your phone, this isn't gonna work. Test a call and data in WiMo to be sure. Second, don't force CDMA, and make sure that startup.txt doesn't have a 1 value when you boot into Android. Lastly, go to your Settings > Wireless > Phone Settings and make sure T-Mobile@@ is selected there. It should automatically find it.

PM me after all that if you got any more questions about my setup.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] yovy:
Im usin newest version with static fix...Im only gettin static in calls tho
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
yeah its been available even before the sound was fixed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hceuterpe:
Oooh it's close

I just jumped on the bandwagon and it's looking quite good.

In my mind, the two big things I'm missing personally is OpenGL ES & bluetooth. It seems like people are working on a non-SD (flashable ROM based) around.

So what can we do for the graphics and the bluetooth? It sounds like the OpenGL is similar to the sound issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sancho00:
*sigh...my excitement with this new build lasted 2 days, kinda unstable(shutting off), BIG UPS to the devs for their hard work on this rom. ill probly just wait until its fully developed, as fast as they going, wont be too long.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] atomiq:
thanks

thanks for fixing the sound devs, wow this thing is moving fast.

i dont want to buy the htc vision, so am just gonna have to wait for this rom to be good :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ersar:
No Chinese in this build

Please add Chinese in the next build, thanks a lot.:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nerd6373:
Reef dont yell. I am trying to put in verizon apn settings but cant find where the settings are. Can anybody help me. And also any progress on earphones usage in the new builds? Where should I be looking for the change (withing the zimage or rootfs)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
For those of you with in-call volume control, what phone are you using? On my Sprint TP2 (Rhod400) I can press the volume buttons but the actual audio level does not change...this is with the latest zimage and rootfs...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bieka:
Ok, i will see if its the same for me. Did you try my used Radio yet?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] althorium:
THANKS!

I just want to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has worked on the Android port for the Rhodium (and similar phones). I have been switching between Android and Windows Mobile (Energy ROM) on my Sprint TP2 for a few months now, but I think the Android port is at the point where I'll be using it almost all the time now. Probably the thing I like best about it is that it's SO much faster than Windows Mobile (at least with HTC Sense). And I don't even have it overclocked.

So thanks again for all the hard work, and thanks in advance for future development! It is very much appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Dont have any of these issues. Most people actually claim it runs better than the previous build, which it should. Did you delete your data.img?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SilentO:
I'm going to answer my own question for those that still haven't got Voice Search upgrade from the Market.

Open Terminal Emulator on your phone and perform the following commands to uninstall the older version,

1) su

2) mount -o rw,remount /system

3) rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk

4) pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch

5) rm -f /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

6) pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Now go to the Marketplace and download the latest version of Voice Search.

Anyone know how to turn the microphone on and leave it on all the time?

Google Navigation isn't working for me. Its hanging up at the display, "Getting driving directions". Anyone got the Google Navigation to work and would like to share on how to?

Thank you again for all your hard work DEV.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
This usually means that you have lost the data connection.

If you have got this far, then it must have found the GPS, else it would report that navigation isn't available in this area - I don't know why Google haven't worked out the shipping lanes yet!

Once it has your location and your destination, it needs to go to Google to receive a route and the mapping for that route. I know that it gets the full route mapping because if you lose your data connection mid-route, you will see that the road that you are supposed to be on is still marked on the display, but nothing to either side of it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SilentO:
Enable mobile network and it should work
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tekgurl:
Crashes

I haven't read any post about constant crashes or force closes. It seems that no matter which home replacement or launcher I use, the more widgets I add to my home screen, the more it force closes. Andriod is no fun without widgets. In fact, that's the primary draw for me. Is anyone else having this problem? This happens with every build and every launcher. Even after starting fresh, deleting my data.img file....still happens:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
When I use pm.sleep_mode=0, I lose my phone connection. Data is still working (I can still browse etc) but I cannot make phone calls or receive them.

This can also be the fault of the widgets that you use. It does not have to be a bug in your android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cloudyhead:
This is absolute GREAT work. I'm delighted that sound is working now. I have read some posts about being able to adjust the in call volume in this new build. I just tried, but it doesn't work for me. The bar moves but sound stays the same. It's still way too loud. Does anyone know how to fix this? Keep up the good work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
Although some people will say that it works, it does not work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
Same here. I want to know too. (Rhod210).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] captobie:
I've been having the same issues too, and that is after deleting data.img. Not too often, just enough to be a nuisance. Small price to pay for sound, IMHO. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Meckerbacke:
I'm using a fresh installed 'ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.083010.cab' (data.img deleted before install), and it mainly works fine. But it shows a steady (amber) or blinking (amber/green) LED, and I dont know how to switch it off. I know already that this is the sleep mode indication, but I guess it needs some power. Is it possible to switch off this indication?

And, second problem: is there a solution for the "time problem"? Every time I used Android and come back to WM, the system clock is misaligned by two hours (I'm in MESZ zone). I read about a workaround, to switch off time sync in android and set the time zome to GMT, but if I use this, all calendar dates in Android calendar are then misaligned by two hours :(

(I'm using it with a german unbranded TP2, the startup.txt is as installed, except the keyboard setting)

BTW: Thanks for this project and the effort to all developers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
I have full function with sleep_mode=0. Im about to try the 2.1 Sense and see what I get. I actually prefer Sense over Froyo. Just a personal preference....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
Hey guess what !

In default's startup.txt it's sleep_mode=1.

And guess what ?

That's how to fix it.

(=0 and =1 has the same power consumption theorically)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
Yes, i know that. I was just testing sleep_mode=0. I was just posting my findings.

I wanted to do this because with sleep_mode=1 and not overclocked I get 12 hours of batterie.

Overclocked and sleep_mode=2 I get 8 hours of batterie.

With sleep_mode=1, you get a SOD when overclocked

With sleep_mode=0, You don't get a SOD when overclocked. You just can't make or receive phone calls anymore, but data is still active and you can browse and stuff.

But edwill44 states that he doesn't have the problem of losing his connection when overclocked and using 0...So if someone else could test this to...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 5oo:
what is SOD???

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hello00:
Screen of death. When you press the power button, it won't turn on.

auto adjust display brightness

has anyone noticed that occasionally when switching back to winmo, the auto adjust in winmo doesn't come back. It's a mild annoyance that causes significant bat drain. I don't know why it only happens half the time, any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] SublimeMogul:
I'm confused. I'm on a cdma TP2 overclocked and I've set my sleep to 0. I get zero problems from this. I can make and receive calls as well as better battery life. Not to mention it seems to have stopped my crashing and made my xdandroid run smoother. Infact I haven't had it ask me once if I want to force quit an app since I made the change. Maybe its a sprint thing but I think sleep setting 0 is the way to go. I get atleast 10 hours of relatively heavy use out of it now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
OR . . . you can download Titanium Backup from the Market, and use that to uninstall Voice Search :rolleyes:. After a restart, you can download & install the new version from the Market :) (someone mentioned this previously, I believe - though that may have been in the XDAndroid thread - I'm watching 3 of them, lol)

Google Navigation works fine for me. The only thing I've noticed (And I assume this is just me), is that I usually try to get a lock in WinMo before booting into Android to speed up my locking process. What I've seen is that after having a lock in Android and booting back into WinMo, My GPS hangs trying to get a lock. Then I restart the phone, and immediately get a lock in WinMo (as if there were still some remnants of something still in memory preventing the lock). Then I'm able to boot into Android & get a quick lock again. Unfortunately this is the case on all my devices (Fuze, Tilt 2, wife's Pure), using kernels post 7/10, I believe. I think some change may have affected GPS adversely (at least for me). Of course, having to restart my phone a couple of times (to me) is worth the benefit of free turn-by-turn voice navigation :). But has anyone else noticed this (or am I just completely crazy)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
That may be true but I cant OC with Sleep=1. I have mine set to 0 and have full function with BLAZN. Setting up my backup card with Sense to see if it works there....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 3daysaside:
Problem 1: I can't imagine the LED chewing up that much power since it is, after all, an LED. I appreciate it letting me know if my phone is chewing up a ton of juice when the screen is off.

Problem 2: It's in the FAQ. You can either change the auto sync settings in Android, you can download a clock sync program for WinMo (that's what I've done), or I'm sure there's other options available -- either way, read the FAQ for a full explanation.

Awesome! One of the things keeping me from using this was the sound... fantastic work!!!

Thanks!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Ballinthavx:
Is there anyway to make the screen light up when you get a text, fb message, or anyother notification while the phone is sleeping?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] :
Cheers to the good ol'Captain! :) Thanks for all your wonderful tips/work.

WinMo -> 'droid is definitely required for a GPS fix.

I've also had luck with using starred items (a nearby location) and then clicking on "my location". This also makes the GPS fix happen fster.

I go back and forth a lot between WinMO & 'droid. I haven't really seen the "remnants" issue you mention - my WinMo lock happens in around the same time or at worst, a little longer. Haven't needed another restart. Will keep an eye out to see if things change..

(BTW, I'm using eras2r's AT&T GPS cab fix, with the original AT&T radio:siggy)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Meckerbacke:
Yes, thanks, I read that already, and its working (with TimeSyncTZ). But to understand: is it a bug (of XDAndroid?) which will hopefully be repaired in future? Or is it a problem which maybe originates from different principles of setting or managing the time in Android and Windows Mobile, and there will be no chance to solve it without additional tools?

For me its clear to use both systems alternatively also in future (because I paid for some windows mobile applications and I will not dismiss it), so a seamless operation of both systems would be very nice.
