Hey everyone!

Myn's WD RLS5 is very fast and responsive, despite the lcd density which make screen look blury, I think it's the best build for POLA100. So, thank you Myn for your work. Wifi+BT fix works fine too, so I am happy... But.

When I use adb, or ssh, log into phone and try to make any ping or nslookup, I get no correct response.

sh-3.2# ping google.com

ping: unknown host google.com

sh-3.2# nslookup google.com

Server: 4.2.2.2

Address 1: 4.2.2.2

nslookup: can't resolve 'google.com': Name or service not known

Contents of file /etc/resolv.conf (which affects nslookup Server) is

nameserver 4.2.2.2

nameserver 4.2.2.6

I Tried add or replace it by

nameserver 200.0.0.1 (which is my router)

but no luck.

Also tried

setprop net.dns1 4.2.2.2

setprop net.dns1 200.0.0.1

No luck too.

Android browser, Opera mini works fine, ping by IP too. What's wrong with name resolving in android?

a couple of problems on polaris

hi.

i am using polaris with pola200, now with Myn's RL5. hopefully wont be needing to go back to WM again. thanks Myn.

some issues i am still facing are:

battery charge % does not show on homescreen. how to do that?

i have used RL5 for about 4 days now and i feel battery gets used up quickly. but then i have been checking and downloading apps from the market a lot.

so battery lasts about 60-70% of the day. about 6-7 hours i think.

if i dont have the boot files on my SC card when i next boot the phone, will it get stuck? cuz that means using another SD card will also have to have the boot files in it. so no place for other apps.

And also I am interested if there is an opportunity to install default (not themed by Myn) applications? Or the modified ones are some way optimized and chanhed that default ones will work not correctly?

Is there any how-to or common instruction on how-to do that?

hi alexander , Myn and Paipo

you are a genius !! my deep-hearted thanks to Myn for RL5, Paipo for making a workign WIFI for HTC Polaris / O2 XDA ORBIT 2 with Pola100 and Pola200 both.

and to Alexander for guiding how to install the wifi update and making it work.

to others, please follow the link mentioned by Alexander. to install wifi update on pola200 Polaris, boot the phone, press D-pad when asked, choose INSTALL UPDATE, then just press the soft reset button with your stylus. DO NOT QUIT FOR REBOOT. it will get stuck.

to victorfungcy - wifi for polaris

hi victorfungcy

there is an update patch for wifi. you need to download that patch from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651856

to install this:

put androidupdate.tar in the andboot folder on your sd card and the zimage file also.

boot polaris and then hold the D-pad when required. you will go to the install option screen.

only choose install update.

after it installs and you get back to the install menu screen, just reset your phone. DO NOT REBOOT.

the reset will take some time. dont get worried.

this should work.

What can you say about battery drain with this release ?

My battery drops a lot, with very low usage it lasts for about 2 days. Or maybe my device is getting old.

I have tried the skyfire browser and it works awfull, very slow with lots of freezes... I think that our Polaris is getting too old for this stuff. The interface is fast and smooth but when starting a program, things get slower. Or is it only my impression ?

Dear Walter and o2-lover,

Did you use paipo's kernel which is available here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=300529&d=1269822497 ?

I used that one with mentioned above update, it worked. No ADB, but Wifi+BT with audio.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] iseeka:
I´m just trying latest nbh with that update too

no charging either!

damn...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
gyurza - you sure no charging?

if you are using the update from paipo, there are 2 files together: the androidupdate.tar and the zimage file.

if you have a problem with that zimage file, keep the zimage file that you got the RL5. but use this update file. after installing update, DO NOT QUIT, but simply soft reset.

as for the charge, when you connect the charger, check carefully. when i connect, i sometimes have to wait a few seconds before the charge sign shows up in the middle of the battery.

you can also download the BATTERY LITE app from the market. it is very helpful and takes up little space.

hope that helps.

Hi all,

for about 5 days i was trying to make the wifi works for me (on Myn’s Warm Donut RLS 5 ) on POLA100. First i was able only to turn on the wifi but it aways say that it cant scan for networks. Today i sloved it. It is little tricky but works for me.

I use the androidupdate.tar.zip from the [Android] NAND Boot Method for Polaris: FLASH IT! thread - post #1 . After that i found this :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5565735&postcount=173

There is some writing here but its work so try it :). Before you perform these steps make sure you have the calibration file. If not ( or in my case i had it but it was empty. Actualy every calibration file must be individual for every device, but this one works for me ) download it from here post #188 :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=621001&page=19

It must be on the root of your SDCard. On the part with "setup sysinit.rc and build.prop" there is a "2." with link, follow it and edit the files ( but first check if these files have allready these lines in them - it can save you some writing ).

Thats it :) After this now i can scan for wifi networks and find them.

Tnx to all for the hard work here.

Ok, after some time the sound stop worked and i reseted the device. Start haret and it hang on after the loading screen (there was a some lines ,diff from usual, when booting android that i didnt remember but if it crash again i will post them).

hi intresting to know i can run android on my polaris. saw and subscribe to all android and polaris thread. but still get me confuse as too many "attachement" need to include to make the android runs. but still i am eager to try. and i still prefer to keem my WM just in case.

may i know, can mix the android file with all the WM file in single SD. it easier when i use GenY dual boot. will it erase/corrupt my WM file on the sd card? do i need to transfer to somewhere all my WM file and run haret/android installation than only copy back my WM file?

_install ROMUpdateUtility_task29

_install polaimg-panel1-320-07-05-10 by customRUU, with the files androidinstall.tar and androidupdate.tar in the sd card (in a folder called andboot)

_in the installation menu i choosed install, fix, clear cache, quit and the system starst

_soft reset, in the menu i choose update, when i'm back in menu, i did a soft reset

but always the same problem. does anyone have a solution?

Go to HTC and upgrade to official 6.1, then you should have the working radio for

Go to the Myn's Warm Donut, download the 240*320 zip file, and place to you SD card, and then read careful the instruction. You should able to get the android run.

However, after I applied the androidupdate with the zImage, the phone just can't get there, so my wifi still doesn't work

After a try, this one is more faster than the Eclair, but I do like the Eclair more.

After weeks of trying to get Android runnig on my Polaris 100. I finally succeed to get my UMTS online. But a few days ago starting the Android through haret.exe it failed to load because the "system.img" wan't found.

I never had a system.img in the ROOT of the SD-Card. Only a rootfs.img and a system.sqsh was there.

I didn't changed anything to the files. I just wanted to make a soft reset to look something up in WM an then the Android failed to start as described.

I also didn't succeed to get a version running where all the files are located in the "andboot" folder. How can I get such a version running using the haret.exe and when so I have to press which key. The promt to hold down volume up appears but I couldn't get it running. The same "system.img was not found" appears?

Any useful tips how to solve it or how to repair my previously working android system?

Edit: I finally get the installation working be holding down "volume up" and not "camera" as I always read in the post about the Polrais 100. I have chosen "Install system" and afterwards "Quit". But when Android tries to launch I get the error message "init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/preperty errno: 2". Can anyone help me out with this problem?

MMS?

No MMS support yet?

And also I wonder why there is need to use modem app to establish data connection? What is default android way to do that, establish connection as soon as it is needed by any app? Is there way to enable default way? Actually I think that it's the reason why mms service connection isn't establishing.

Am I right?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
That's a great question and I think the same. Why the connection isn't established automatically when an application requests it? I'm having lots of problems with the connection being lost every now and then, when the device is sleeping. The modem application says "data connection went down..." and it doesn't reconnect until I click Turn Off. That should be automatic.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] idreadful:
I think that android should decide connect/reconnect/disconect, but not modem application. It seems that modem uses some another way to up connection (pppoe, or something like this), than android uses with multiple APNs configured. Modem can establish only data connection, but not mms one (it's my guess, so don't beat me please).

I have also the guess that almost everybody doesn't like automatic connection due to their data rates and plans, and modem app gives them full control on data.

So.. modem uses just one apn, doesn't use other types of apn (mms).

Of course it's ok for now, but few days ago I realized that I miss MMS =)

Cannot load Android/SD-card write fail?

I too have been silently following ALL Android forums for the Polaris100. The only way I have gotten Android to start is by SQSH, but not everything loads (sometimes no keyboard, sometimes no settings, it just depends but still nearly unusable). Using Haret and NAND as it is loading I can read that "cannot determine if 'partition' is mounted". I try to install the system through the menu, and all I can make out is that I get a whole string of I/O errors. Finally, as it tries to launch Android it gives the warning above "init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/preperty errno: 2". My preference is still Haret, because I still use TomTom in WM

I appears that there is a problem with writing to my SD-card which is formatted to Fat32/ext2/ext2.

I have been looking through many forums for an answer. This question has been asked several times, but as far as I can tell, it has not been answered.

Thank you everyone for the great community project this has been, I would be glad to contribute as well...once I can get into Android :)

Problem with USB and SD card with RLS5

Hi,

sorry for my English...

I'm currently using Warm Donut RLS5 and I have a problem with usb connection. When i plug my phone, Windows 7 don't mount a new device and I can't install the USB Android driver. I tested with version Eclair 2.1 and the Flash driver works but I prefer the Donut Interface.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] o2-lover:
to combatdan - installing android

before any installations, always try to do the HARDSPL.

i have found the simple way to install android is by rebooting your phone and hold the camera button with it and get to the bootloader screen. make sure you have the following files in your SD card and back up of data done.

AN IMPORTANT PRE-REQUISITE IS that if you have any LOCKS and PIN CODES enabled, DISABLE THEM FROM WM BEFORE GOING FOR ANDROID.

polaimg.nbh (whatever nbh file you download, rename it to polaimg.nbh).

androidinstall.tar in the andboot folder in your SD card.

in the bootloader screen, choose Install, then Fix Permissions, then Clear Cache, then QUIT. DO any updates after QUIT and reboot of the phone, not before.
