Is there anyway other than booting back into WinMo to determine the battery level?

Now that I got android running smoothly, the only thing holding me back from using it permanently is knowing what the battery level is.

Good job guys.

PS I think Android has the best call quality of anything ive used on my Tilt 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Manni01:
Have a look at the processes in memory using something like advanced task killer, and check what's loaded.

I had installed Aloqa, and it was a complete ressource hog. Even scrolling home screens had slowed down dramatically. Got rid of it and graphics are back to normal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] stcardinal:
Does anyone's phone get really hot using the OC settings in the original blaze startup? After 10 mins my phone gets almost too hot to handle.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CosmicBlue2000:
Well, lower the OC level. That way your battery will also last longer.

In fact, 2.2 runs smooth enough to run at 320MHz instead of the default 528MHz.

No need to OC, undercloaking is more useful in this case, if you ask me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Nope, I would maybe try turning down the OC a bit. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] KitsunePaws:
Sorry to be a pain, I skimmed over a few things but didn't see anybody asking this, perhaps it's an odd problem.

It's in regards to Storm8 games, namely Vampires Live.

When using 2.1 I was able to sign up for these games and play them just fine, however when I use 2.2 and let it build a new data.img for me, it seems somebody elses account is already linked. (I'm not crazy, I deleted the account and named it something funky. A few hours later it was deleted and renamed something else, so I can't be the only one with the problem) If I carry over my data.img from 2.1 I am able to continue playing on my accounts but I lose my ability to use the Market. Upon trying to open the market it will go to a white screen then back to the home, I am thinking it has something to do with the fact I'm running without Android having Synced itself to a gmail account. Which I can't do that either. If I let 2.2 build the data.img I can do everything just fine, except get back to my account in Vampire Live. From what research I've done Storm8 seems to base accounts off of device ID. So I'm thinking either 2.2 screws up the device ID, or the build released has a cooked in Vampires live account :D. Any ideas reef?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
None sorry. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] KitsunePaws:
:eek: Not the answer I expected! Nah, I kid.

I'm installing the Non-Blazen 2.2 now to see if the story is the same, worst case I suppose I could always try to splice two data.img files together with the trusty hex editor :cool:

Edit:: Sorry Chris S. I erased your Pets Live account in testing. Problem is there and seems to be in all the Storm8 live games. Download Pets Live. Your trainer name will be TOUCHPRO2!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
I have always had the losing data connection issue with the Android builds, so +1 for adding to bug list! Vodafone in the UK. I think it might be less prevalent with the current build, but it is still occuring. Or maybe I'm just willing it to be better!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] blitzer320:
try a blank sd card it may be storing files on your sd card like a few games i play have files on the sd card to save my progress other than that yeah it probably uses some type of id that changes from 2.1 to 2.2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Plasmamuffins:
Yeah I had to lower it all the way to 730000, thank you so much xD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] KitsunePaws:
I've deleted all files from the SD card, it's pulling the data from their servers. And I could understand the ID changing from 2.1 to 2.2, though unlikely, It would be possible. But if that were the case, I wouldn't be logging in as somebody else as our IDs shouldn't match. I'd just say while this silly little game has little importance, I'd be very careful about buying anything with the phone, at best these images were cooked with Storm8 data in them already, no big deal. Worst case all the 2.2 images share the same device ID.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] djtrunxness:
Cannot D/L page not found

Trying to Download the blazin .cab and .rar. Am getting a page not found. What's going on? Older builds are ok to dl. I was able to dl directly on my gf's tp2 last night.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Tumdace:
Ok please dont flame me, I did look everywhere before asking this question but I cant find and answer.

My 3g works, cause it says it works. Albeit, ive got about 0-1 bars under R.

I can receive phone calls, and I can even check my gmail.

I can surf the android markets and download apps no problem.

What I cannot do is surf the web.

Any idea why?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Sorry bud,

My fault on that one. Its back up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Manni01:
I'm a bit confused... Is there a difference between Froyo beta 3 07/16 and Froyo RC1 07/18? It looks like the archives are the same date (07/16) and I don't see anything new in the changelog:confused:... Could you please clarify? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Yeah it was really such a small change I didn't really make much of a huge update, and I didnt feel like changing the download links. Really it was only a couple small things I changed, and I added a XDAndroid boot animation for the BLAZN builds. :) Sorry for the confusion.:o

EDIT: Why does Hex Editing make me feel like a caveman? WTF why is that so unnecessarily convoluted? lol Good news is i fixed the black text on black background issue for Blazn builds. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JimboJoe:
I switched from 2.1 to the 2.2 BLAZN version a couple days ago, and so far so very good!

Unfortunately, still no access to protected apps in the market... has anyone filed this as a "bug" yet?

Thanks anyway for the great work to anyone involved!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Manni01:
Thanks for the clarification;)

Good to hear the black on black issue is fixed on Blazin. Does it mean the white on white issue is fixed as well?

I really like the top bar in Blazin, which I think is much neater than the default one, but I had some apps which progress bar would end up being white on white (My Movies while syncing my collection for example).

Also, as someone else already pointed out, I kind of miss the orange touch, it gives a bit of color (and clarity) which I don't find garrish.

Anyway, you'll never find a way to please everyone, so you should please yourself with Blazin and keep the reference build for those who prefer it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] juliocho:
I hear a lot of people talking about overclocking, but how much battery life do you get doing that? I'm using stock and I can barely get 7 hours with light use, if anything I would underclock the phone.

And thanks to all developers, Android's GMail app is reason enough to switch from Windows Mobile :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Banditd:
Same problem for me, I tried several Storm8 games.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lorgem:
v2.2 is fast fast fast

Just installed the latest version 2.2 and i would say this is the best ANDROID in my TP2.

The only SHOW STOPPER is "SOUND" - ETA for SOUND :D

One more thing :mad:

Installed Flash Player 10.1 and i noticed every time i launch Browser it force closed. Please help :D

Thanks and Advance. Cheers!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
I don't have an ETA for sound for here's for hoping it's soon!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Tumdace:
That and optimizing the battery.

Went to bed last night, left my phone charging overnight.

Power went out since it was storming.

I woke up to find my phone dead, battery completely drained. Power was only out for maybe 4-5 hours, and the phone was in standy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Tumdace:
Overclocking is nice and all, but ya, the battery lasts for nothing when its overclocked.

Some dude say 320 was good enuf, so I tried it, and it was too slow/choppy. Im trying to get a value around 425-450 that is stable and hopefully that works, which should give me a balance between good battery life and speed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
best news of the day for me right there. hope you guys solve that problem out for us, good luck on the debugging
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Star-Lite:
That would be SUPER-awesome :D

Let's hope they can find the problem with the camera & BT as well :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] y2kendall:
Titanium Backup

I just installed Titanium Backup on Froyo blazin version. It says external storage not mounted and so I can't backup anything. Any ideas on how to mount the sdcard for Titanium Backup?

Running Froyo v3 Blazin

on Sprint Touch Pro 2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Plasmamuffins:
I was wondering why when Blazn froze and I had to reset my phone, all my widgets dissapeared and everything stopped working? I had to delete the data.img to get it working again,, but what if I have to go back into wm? Will it screw up again?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
only thing i would be able to suggest is to apply all your settings/widgets/short cuts in android first and then power it down the safe way( not removing battery) and just hope the changes get saved
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Zero_Shadow:
Sorry to be a noob but have two questions I read the faq and did a search but didnt seem to find these two issues.

1) For some reason when I send txt messages the ppl on the receiving end get strange numbers at the end of the txt the numbers are random never in any kind of sequence. Was just curious was anybody else have this problem. Tried both Chompsms and the default messaging app and the problem is one both.

2) Im still learning android and I wanted to see know how to actually backup things. I wanted to install the latest Froyo build 7/18 but im not really sure how to back up my apps, contacts, call logs etc or if I need to to install this new build. I read about Titanium Backup and installed it but it seems to me with the free version I have to individually click each item and hit backup. So I was trying to see if there were any suggestions you could give me.

Note: Sprint TP2 running Froyo 2.2 Blazin overclocked to 700Mhz 7/16 Build

TIA
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] killlopez:
OMG I have the same exact issue. I tried getting storm8 support to remove the account. When I started the game, another account was on there. It's very weird. This problem started as soon as I started using 2.2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] locomariachi:
Can anyone tell me why i'm getting a hang up upon booting into android? It looks like this:

[RPC] READ on ept d432180

Help would be greatly appreciated :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] electrikjesus:
is it just me, or is the BLAZIN build charging only for a few seconds before reporting battery as full and shutting off charging?

Let me know

EDIT: I am getting a little better signal strength with radio version 4.49.25.77
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JimboJoe:
Did you try to lower the overclocking if you're using the BLAZN build?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Yeah it was one of the ways unknownforce was temp-fixing the battery. For a while, it would just keep charging, even if your battery was at 100%. What he had to do what switch it to the way that it is now, and android will actually stop charging your battery at about 85% now. He planned on going further with his work, but sometimes there is that thing called real life and he has been hard to get in touch with.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] juliocho:
Since I installed the latest Blazn build, I haven't been able to get my Google account up and running. If I try to add the account through the GMail app, it reaches a black screen and I have no options (not even hitting menu button). When I tried through Settings>Account & sync, it reaches a point where it says "unable to connect to server", even if 3G works just fine and I've hit all the SSL boxes.

I had the last version of the regular build before, I remember that I set up the Google account through Settings and it asked me directly my Google username and no Exchange shenanigans. Also, I got contacts and calendar painlessly, now I can't even add my account for email. Any ideas?

edit: solved it, changed server to m.google.com, like I used to do with WinMo. Strangely, I didn't have to go through Exchange settings in the previous build.

The problem with setting up through Exchange is that calendar will only show the things you put in your calendar but not from other calendars that you might have subscribed. In the first Froyo reference build, I could see exactly like I do in Google Calendar since it didn't set up my account through Exchange. I'm now going to try the latest reference build, if that doesn't work as well I'm going back to the first Froyo build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] electrikjesus:
The thing is, WM reports my battery as 50% and Android reported it as 46% before I plugged it in. It charges for a few seconds, then reports the battery as full/shuts off charging. Is the battery temp too high to charge? is my device too OC'd to charge at 700000/691mhz?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Ahh I see, it actually does not stop charging just because it reports full, it will go up to like 85% in winmo before it stops in android. Just keep it plugged in, it will keep going up (you just cant see it, lol)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] juliocho:
Went to the latest reference build, I still can't add my Google account any other way not being through Exchange. I'm installing the first Froyo release again... someone please tell me if it's a bug from the latest build or if I'm doing something wrong.

Update: with the July 1st build I can choose whether I want to add a google/twitter/facebook/corporate (exchange) account, which didn't work for me in the latest update. Hopefully, it will be rectified in the next release.

I might be late on this update...Just wanted to state that the video player works its still unstable....but it works
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
For those of you needing a unique ID for your handset, for some of the games you guys have been playing, download the newest rootfs and replace the old one. You WILL have to delete your data.img but after that your phone will be assigned a fake ID# to associate with your accounts, just like a real android handset :)

http://xdandroid.southcape.org/rootfs/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
Thats very cool, i mainly just use my phone just to entertain myself during school or look at videos and stuff. im not one of those people that have to have every feature working because i seriously think that out of the whole time i had my rhodium, i used the BT for example for only 1 time and that was just cause i was bored and was lazy to hook up my phone to my comp with a USB.

But still if PM was fixed i could live without wifi and all them other features for some time. but thats nothing new and im sure you heard that many times already
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Modernly:
Any chance of details on which issues the "big things" are headed towards resolving? I'm trying to be patient, but this is such an exciting project.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
yeah i second that, like in no way rushing the developers at all but itd be cool to know what was being currently worked on, to have knowledge of current progress etc. But then again i love checking out this forum and being suprised by new things changing lol

many thanks to all involved!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Only 15 hours??? sheesh..... :p

As requested:

Big things list:

Wifi

Accelerometer

3d

Power Management

Your mom

:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
thats great many thanks!

one thing to clarify, when 3d is working i take it graphics will run much smoother and the interface and menu switching will be too? im amazed at how well it works and how smooth it is without 3d already!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] phhusson:
No. 3D is only 3D. (and some stupid 2D games but that's another story).

And wait... You think it can be smoother ?!? I can't see how ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Modernly:
Very exciting. Thanks for the info. Is there somewhere that people are posting updates day to day so we don't need to bug you guys here for this information? Such as a blog or a twitter? Thanks again, much appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
Well its a "Droid" after all with some Grease and oil it will definitely run smoother :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] chasy:
i like your mom the best .. hope that's the next feature ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cd993:
no no, i dont have much techinal knowledge on this port and so not in the know-how on how this port is accomplished, i just meant to ask if the build can become smoother at all, like when the ram update was made a bit ago which made it faster, meant to ask would there be more speed in future builds (like by 3d being made possible but now im clear that it wont make a difference)

yeah im sure the technical wizards will have androids running exceptionally well as time goes by!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Xodium:
15 hours?

That's not bad at all.

Ready to play Abduction?

Hey guys, Im putting together a new .cab right now with the newest zimage/modules and Phh just hooked us up with a system.sqsh that enables our accelerometer on the last XDAndroid Eclair build.

If I can stop playing this stupid game that is....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
I've been playing around a little with the last Zimage and Screen Brightness seems to work somewhat, im able to increase the brightness a lil and dimmed down. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Yessir, as long as you have the auto backlight setting turned off in WinMo!

One thing I noticed in the Tilt2 cab for the 2/15 build is that the ! key did not work on the keypad.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elroy944:
anyone has actualy the g-sensor working? on my rhod100 it doesn't....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
I have a Tilt2, my ! works just fine.

There were also some tweaks that needed to be made to the startup.txt folder regarding the axis calibration. It has been changed in my new cabs, and the startup.txt collection that is in the .rar.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] elroy944:
so the g-sensor works for you...?

startup.txt

have anyone notice this problem of the startup.txt file getting erase whenever you quit out of android? I have everything working but whenever i quit out of android and boot back into WM, the startup.txt file is empty. The file is still there but it's empty.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] M_T_M:
Nope...that's a new one to me!! :eek: :confused:

Are you doing something in particular when it happens? Removing the battery, re-starting WinMo, etc?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] juliocho:
I never had that problem, but you might want to try to make the file READ ONLY.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] M_T_M:
I don't think that's a good solution...have "you" tried this?

This will make the startup file usseles....unless someone else can correct me on this :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] edwill44:
Facebook....

This might be a non-issue but I was wondering has anyone had success syncing FB to any of the android builds? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] djtrunxness:
I had to edit and copy the startup.txt to another location and replaced it everytime I booted. It happened when I used the boot up app. When I use haret.exe directly with the correct cmd lines in the startup.txt, I no longer have the problem of the file being wiped out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] M_T_M:
and you do have this file on the root of the sd card, right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kojotandoh:
Will this solve the market problem where u cant find protected apps??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] newyguy:
I have to do the same thing myself. Defeats the purpose of having a startup utility though. seems like i am the only one with this problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
For those having their startup.txt deleted I have not tracked down exactly what he issue is, but it is the startup utility that is causing this. There is some corruption somewhere ill need to track down soon. I think it only happens with certain ROMs, but like i said, have not tracked it down yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] 3daysaside:
I've actually had this every time I've run the latest Froyo build -- I reboot the device, and my startup.txt is blank.

My solution: copy the file to a different location after a fresh install (or copy to the SD Card). Then, make a copy in the same location as the original startup.txt, and just name it default.txt. When the haret loader pops up not knowing what to do because startup is blank, you can just hit run because it automatically suggests the default.txt. The startup.txt will still be made blank for me, but the default.txt is left alone.

Hope this helps....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] electrikjesus:
You aren't the only one. Me and about ten or more others started having this issue a few weeks back. So it's not just you.

Look back 20+ pages or so. You will see.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] electrikjesus:
I actually think it is not. Some of us are using .txt editors that add unicode. If there is a Break symbol for enter, or an extra space get's added. The Android boot process truncates the startup.txt to 0k. So, I don't think it is your tool, Just something in the system boot that should be programmed to omit certian symbols.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] monomer888:
That's very plausible. I won't repeat my solution to this (since it only seemed to work for me, haha). Anyway, I think JJHiemenz posted something earlier that sheds a little more light on it:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] y2kendall:
My 8GB SanDisk microSD card showed up fine in 2.1 versions but doesn't show up in the froyo versions. I checked both the stock and the blazin. I'm looking in Settings -> SD card & phone storage. In 2.1, it would show that it was mounted and how much space was available. Is this a limitation of Froyo right now or compatibility problem with my card? Anyone else having this issue?
