[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Words_vs_Pain:
I just want to say that I tested Android for the first time yesterday and I loved it.

At this moment I regret the fact of have bought my Touch Pro 2. I mean, the device is amazing but Windows Mobile is slowly dying in my humble opinion. Plus all the cooked roms are a little slow (compared with what I want on a PDA).

Testing Android on TP2 was amazing. In my opinion it's no ok yet for daily use (battery drains like there's no tommorow).

Hope to see a release of android working near 100% in the future :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] juliocho:
Well, just think about the advantages of a TP2, which you can't find in the same handset: the best keyboard to date, GSM+CDMA worldphone and SERO (if you're a Sprint customer). While I'd love to get my hands on a latest gen Android, these factors are enough reason to stick to the TP2, especially now with a great Froyo build!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Does the features like the battery fix that Rewind posted included in the kernel you posted?

Its there but slow detection.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
simple answer...no

I hope everyone reads this...if you don't understand why these builds I've been put out have "dirty" in the name, it's because it's a version of the kernel that has not been pushed to the main repository. It includes everything in the main repository that has been done to-date. Everything's working on mine and Reefer's phone, but it is proper to get multiple testers before pushing to the repo - then it will be in the main build (not these cabs files...lol...but the main kernel build). It won't break anything unrelated to the handset in-call speaker (well...it won't break that either...just improve it). I am using the most recent kernel repository to date. I keep seeing a few worried about "dirty" being in the modules package LOL. Hopefully this clears everything up for everyone...

:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Rewind's kernel is using viruscrazy's work on the batter meter. No, the kernel Reefer posted earlier doesn't have viruscrazy's battery modifications. Simply because his code is not finished yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
No its actually there it can detect a charge but its slow detection also I notice that the reader was on yellow n it jumped up a bit to green. NVM it detected then when I went to look it was all green.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
I am CDMA (Sprint) :D ...since only the CDMA phones have a 3.5mm jack I don't expect that to be high on the priority list :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Ummm...if you're using the kernel Reefer just posted with my mods, battery meter stuff from viruscrazy is not in there. (I think I interpreted your post correctly)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
i know what "dirty" means.. i was just tryna clarify if it breaks anything, lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Didnt break anything actually.

Speakerphone hasnt worked on mine for a long time.

The trick turns the VM Call to that noise but still cant turn speakerphone on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Words_vs_Pain:
That's why I'm keeping the TP2 :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ingenue007:
wait, will the android build posted here will not charge in android??

i have to use the batter fix zimage for that to occur?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] YOSEFE:
I get the "forbidden" error when I click on this link or copy it into the address bar.

Can I get files using the normal route of accessing files in download on first page?

Cheers.

EDIT: Not to worry, got to the archive using download button on page one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jphaus:
Same here. I'm loving Android on TP2...it's like I got a whole new phone all over again. And SERO makes it even better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
No, you're not being patient. It IS charging.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Anyone tried the new Gmail (2.2.1)? I'm using it now, and it's much easier to reply to e-mails now :)

http://www.multiupload.com/S7W2MS4BCU

Credit goes to whoever leaked this (I just found it via a Google search and the news feed on my Home Tab).

I have heard of some shortcomings, but I haven't really noticed any (though I seem to be having trouble downloading some attachments).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] _cv:
Fine work and Android is going to catch me ;-)

I have a problem, when i am installing a few programs at one of the next tries to install another one there is a message: not enough memory, and so the forcecoming installations wont work.

How can i became more memory?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
It was like on yellow before I plugged it in but when I plugged it in it did show charging however its not reading right. After like a min it shows its fully charged & when I unplug it begins to go down, down, down & proceeds to go down to 14%, 9% etc etc its not gonna stop giving me the battery is low message because the message continues to appear every minute but have I really gone down 5% in a minute not really.

Let me tell u about the one viruscrazy posted. It works in Sense builds. It doesnt go up to 100% in a few minutes & acts like real charging however thats a bit off as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Words_vs_Pain:
TP2 with Android by default would be the best phone ever :) (At least what I want from a PDA) :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
That's normal. You just have to leave it plugged in for a period of time that you estimate will charge it fully. The current battery meter code is from another guy that never really finished it...and viruscrazy hasn't finished yet either. It will still be a while before it works right. Just use your good judgment when charging...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jasmineautrey:
I concur. Great work developers!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
UPDATE: it doesn't break anything, lol.. can't really tell if Noise Cancellation works, but nothing breaks anywhere tho :cool: .. i would suggest this and the battery fix go into the main repository ASAP :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ReekyDesert:
after installing the rom (RAR), my TP2 screen turns off when i press the hangup key, but the backlight seems to be staying on, result is battery goes flat very quickly. is this a common issue?

thanks

btw, great work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Yes in the FAQ it explains this already. Simple fix, disable your Auto-Backlight in WinMo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dswaggz:
Motorola xt720 I love my tp2 but that phone is fxxking hot an amazing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hello00:
What does this has to do with Android development?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dswaggz:
Well not much but soon as I get tha money either that phone or the g2 will be my next bkuz I'm tired of winmo I love tha fact that I can run 2 OS's but I have fallen n love wit that lil green Guy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
I wouldn't spend my money on Motorola.... bleh....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hello00:
Agree. It ain't worth it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Alcoholic:
Me either. But the G2 is by HTC.

I've taken a vow to never buy a non-htc phone again thanks to the developers on xda who make HTC phones even superior than the stock one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] y2kendall:
Tried this and it worked great. Google Voice Search is awesome. Something for the dev's: when I did this, my Sprint TP2 had the mute button lit up on the back of the phone. Don't know if this is a clue to anything to get the mic working for apps, but I thought I'd pass it along. When you press it, it never turns off, just stays lit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Bieka:
Not sure if anybody got Problems with navigation too but since new kernel posted by reef my navigation works great at all. Google Navigation crashed 2 times but Navigon works all day without Problems. Could be an unwanted change but it is the result ;-)

A friend of mine told me since the update he can run Google Navigation without a problem so it can be a preference failure on my tp2.

Thanks a lot reef ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jutnac:
I tried it and it works great. Downside my phone won't let me update the voice search app. it says install is unsuccessful. I tried deleting the app but I couldn't. Anyone have any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Atmosphere:
I'm a little annoyed... without any reason my phone would just disconnect from the network and display "NO SERVICE".

Then there is no way to get it it back except to reboot into winmo and restart android. Is there a command to restart from terminal? like init 1 and init 3 or reboot or whatever.

I also still lose data connectivity for no apparent reason from time to time
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] schriss:
I was thinking about getting Motorola Droid 2 as it comes out pretty good in tests and has hardware keyboard. I thought it's one of top 5 best droid phones, but now you say don't buy it :confused:

I'm with Windows Mobile for years, since I got candybar HTC Tornado.

My current phones:

HTC Touch Pro2

Apple iPhone 3G

Chineese phone with analog TV :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Cancellation is working, but it's hard to tell. I have an a/c unit in my office that before this change my wife was always telling me it sounds like i'm driving in my car when the a/c is running. I also called my phone from the office line and I can hear it in the office phone. I went back and forth between the mod about 10 times and it is clear that the a/c noise is gone with the mod and comes back without it.

When/if viruscrazy gets the rest of the battery code in I will include it in my build. It'll be up to him to get it pushed to the main repository...

:cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I don't have to go through all this rigmarole to get Voice Search working on my Tilt 2.

All I have to do is call my Voicemail (or anyone, really) while in Android, wait until I hear a few words, and then hang up. After that, Voice Search works fine for me.

EDIT: Of course, that only works until you do something else on the device (like initiate a Market download), and then you have to start over again. Does the above procedure keep it working all the time?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xtremetactics:
The procedure above does keep it going continuously, At least it did for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] NewbTrader:
Phone seems to recover from "sleep"

FWIW, I set sleep mode = 1 and removed the overclock line from the startup.txt and the phone SEEMS to sleep and "wake up" just fine. Previously, I had problems with the phone going to sleep and when waking up, everything seemed fine, but the phone didn't work. With the overclock line removed, it seems to "wake up" with the phone working now.

Just a heads up to anyone who wants to save battery life.. might want to remove the overclocking line in the startup.txt..

Edit: I'll report back after using it a couple days like this, but I left my phone off the charger overnight last night, haven't rebooted yet, and it's been a-ok so far today w/ the phone working. I'm really loving android! Thanks again devs!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Serren:
The rigamarole fix above does stick. My phone even did that odd Android reboot when you mess with the call volume while on a call and the fix was still good. I would guess/hope that since we can do this trick, a smart developer can hard code a similar fix into the code.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
Thanks for the info. I have a problem, the ROM I am using (minimal) does not have the "control panel" for setting that. Is there a registry tweak maybe? I can write a .CAB file for this but need to know the registry entry.

If there are other tweaks that are needed let me know also, I can compile all of them into 1 .cab file for everyone to use.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xmckinzie:
I sure wish someone had an answer to this as well. Mine can go days or hours before this happens. I never know until I check out the phone. Missing phone calls is not good.:(

I still love it.

Android Icon

So i reflashed my Windows, and now the nice little Android Icon is gone.

Damn.

Is there anyway i can get it back without reinstalling/slashing losing all my Android Configuration / Programs?

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone for being so helpful on this board Amen.

Brandon
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rcgators:
Just reinstall the Android startup app. I use MJGDroidUtil.exe You'll find the link it the android thread faq page.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sovereignty:
Save \andboot\data.img in another folder and reinstall. I actually think the installation will still not overwrite your data.img anyways, but just to be on the safe side...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] brandonbl79:
are you talking about the .cab package, or the actual .exe on the device?

Not quite following, (but trying what i think you meant in the meantime)

What i think you meant is to run mjdroidutil.exe and it will just auto create the icon in the Programs folder?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Its a registry setting. If you use the startup tool it actually runs the registry change for you, when I'm back at my PC ill get you exactly what needs to be changed.

Mic Workaround

Just wanted to say thanks to the person that posted about the mic workaround. Works flawlessly. I was able dictate text messages and I finally got to play with that silly app Talking Tom Cat.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Serren:
Ha! Me also. Stupid cat wouldnt talk before. Now he will not shut up... My daughter thinks he is funny though, so she is glad the mic is working also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] y2kendall:
Activate mic in Android

I think I discovered a way to activate the mic without first having to be in WinMo. When in Android, call your voicemail. Then activate the speakerphone (I know it doesn't function correctly). Hit any number on the dialpad. You will hear the voice come out of the speaker for a few seconds and then stop. End the call and your mic will now work (not just first time, but always). Try it out and see if it works for the rest of you. I'm using Sprint TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ubcjack:
Has anyone successfully used PSfreedom on tmobile XDAndroid port?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
I got it to work with your methods but once the phone went to sleep the mic did not work anymore...same Sprint TP2 as you...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sancho00:
Now you guys made me feel down right BAD bout myself and purchasing choices..lol, SHOLD'VE BOUGHT A DROID! Every single app that i want working on my phone its on android market..it aint right. internet radio radio, youtube, even urbanspoon. damn mr. gates, step ur mobile industry game up..lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Doesn't work for me. When I activate the speakerphone, I hear nothing. Then I press a button, I hear nothing. Then I kill the call and try voice search. It works once, then not again.

I haven't tried the voicemail while booting trick.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] XERO_Racer:
when i charge my phone on android, the battery icon would show a charge icon but then seconds later it says its FULLY Charged, when in fact the battery is half way, is there gonna be fix on this?

i applied the battery fix that i found on here also im running 8/30 BLAZN with latest packages
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
It still charges even tho it says full. There probably will be a fix at some point, but the world could end tomorrow, you never know. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
I have now, and it works as described. Now I just need to work out what accent I need to use to make the thing work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] doublen1:
You guys are getting there! Thanks for all your hard work :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] blackwaterstout:
I also tried the voicemail hack and it works great. I love Google voice search. Maybe this is a good step for the deb's to figure this one out. This entire message was written using the microphone icon on the google keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] atxbyea:
Actually I did turn of the automatic backlight in WinMO, however, when the XDANDROID logo is done being flashy the screen just stays black, and I have to pull the battery, then turn auto backlight back on and boot android again :(

And thanks for the Market-enabler tool, worked like a charm!

And by the way, using the USB dongle for USB\Minijack 2.5 and 3.5 does not work, actually it seems to kill the sound driver of sorts (atleast in spotify).

When it's plugged in and I press play in spotify the player plays, but no sound, if I remove it the sound is still gone.

However, if I reboot spotify without the USB dongle plugged in, the sound is back in the speaker.

I guess that's why they stopped selling motorola in Norway like 10 years ago, I agree with you ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
Just an FYI i tried updating thru the android launch app and when i tried to run android it would not recognize any touches and would freeze and reboot on a loop until I reinstalled the 8/30 .cab. Just letting you know incase it happens to anyone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Has happened to lots of people. If you read back 2-3-5-7-10-15 pages there are all kinds people who have had this happen because they didn't read the most recent pages of the thread. Currently the zimage/modules update is broken. Using this update will result in a failure of android. Use the zimage/modules from either a rar package, or from the project tracking page kernel link to fix this problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dswaggz:
Hey I tried both triccs for the mic search an it won't work I do have my phone clocced down 2 691mhz an my sleep set at 0 an my 3d turrned on if that makes any difference an tha xt720 is still a good phone just needs more developers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rushwal:
Just wanted to wish a hearty thanks to those who have gotten the sound going! Just one more step in all android all the time. I've gotten one convert under my belt, and I'm working on making my wife an android.... well, you know what I mean.

Kudos!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
NICE! i couldn't test it good because i was inside and it wasn't noisy.. i didn't say it wasn't working, i was just saying i couldn't test it right.. but can't wait for all the fixes to be added! :D

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lordstrife:
I found a speakerphone work around and posted it in the forum.

Hope it helps people.

the wifi tethering is working for me perfectly on the build of andriod im using with no problems actually the only problem i have is no speaker phone lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] m4f1050:
What build is that? What's left to fix, camera, bt & usb?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
^^ those and OpenGLes/3D/HW acceleration, auto key backlights, fixed keyboard directionals, in-call volume adjustment, 100% in-call speakerphone, mic voice search, 100% battery meter, improved battery life.

Stuck in bootloader..

I was trying to boot android, now my tp2 is stuck in the bootloader screen.

Every 3 minutes the loader comes up, and shuts down. Its not booting.

Soft reset does nothing.

Finally got it to connect to my pc (with the vol/power option), and succesfully installed the original wm rom

again. I thought.... Now its in a loop of the bootloader screen. Can't get past the screen, because it shuts down after a minute. Its connected to the wall charger for 12 hours now, still the loop, even when charging. When the bootloader screen pops up, the charge light goes out. After it shuts down, the light comes up again.

Can't get the stock rom installed again, because the tp2 shuts down after 8%.

Info boot screen:

rhod100 32m hx-bc

spl-0.87.0000

Getting frustrated here.....

Any help will be very appreciated..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] rcgators:
Sounds familar to a post on a ROM thread. Find somoene with a fully charged battery and borrow it. As I recall it was a weak battery but the phone was stuck in a loop where it would not charge enough to get the boot process up long enough to start charging again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
is normal that when flshing stock rom it shut down at 8% is doing some process just leave it plugged in and it should continue with the flashing!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] isoman4:
Here's what I did...

I had the boot loop due to low battery 2 days ago, and here's what I did (I'm going from memory, so I hope I'm remembering correctly)...

1. Unplug the phone and pull the battery

2. Plug phone into the charger

3. Hold down "send" and "end" keys

4. Insert battery

That should keep the phone off while it charges, instead of the phone trying to boot, it should stay off and charge the battery. 2 and 4 might be flipped around...I honestly can't remember. :confused: :o

Good luck :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
hey reefer thanks, I completely didnt read the posts because I was about to go to bed and figured I'd try the update, but Reinstalling the 8/30 cab fixed every thing for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] beaviz:
Thanks, Will try that asap...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
This is what I do when I had that issue. I go grab TASK29 in the Windows Mobile thread since it is a small file it should go right through w/o issues. I then pull my battery while AC is in & put the battery back in youll need to wait a few hours then id flash the ROM.

Youll do the TASK29 flashing via mem card & youll name it RHODIMG. It is the only file to be on the card you can do this for your ROM as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lordstrife:
It doesn't have to be the only file on your card it just has to be on the root folder of the card.
