How can I enlarge the phone storage? I only have 124K available, and cannot install anything. Even I uninstall apps, it will be remanding 124.

PS: my sdcard has 3G free? How can I let market download and install in sdcard?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] przemhb:
1. I cannot add my account. Although I have working Wi-Fi connection I get "Unable to open connection to server" message.

2. I guess the above is the reason why Market exits immediately after being launched.

3. Wi-Fi is unable to connect when signal is poor, despite the fact 2.01 Xperoid Wi-Fi worked under exactly the same conditions (only loosing signal from time to time).

4. Is there a chance Polish language will be added so I could select it from Language & keyboard->Select Language?

5. Does the 3D acceleration works also for 2D (i.e. will it accelerate movies playback)? How hard it is to make Froyo use the acceleration?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
My market works, though I did get that error today. Try turning on/off your network connection and background sync until it does.

I can't really do anything about 3D and video acceleration at the moment. The 3d binary from the Dream/G1 doesn't work here, it ain't working on Touch Pro2/Diamond2 either according to the xdandroid site

Thanks for your feedback guys. I'm going to attack power consumption next.

BTW about Swype, saw this in the Pro2 forum:

how come i can't search my network server right?

it just say that i'm 45403:(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
45403 = the mobile country code for Hong Kong (454) and operator (03) - 3HK

Does the name appear in the select operator (manually) list?

The same thing happens with the 3AU network - either the SIM or the network has set their name to "" (blank).

Not quite sure what I can do at the moment.

Another bug report directly from my device:

- after front keys backligth randomly turns on, it stays on until I reset the device. Including in standby. That bug probably causes battery to die even faster

- resuming from standby is sometimees extremely delayed. It looks like screen backligth is fading on, but very slowly. And you cannot do anything until is fully turned on.

- backligth is not controllable (slider indisplay settings don't do anything. Same for switch at power control widget)

one thing i want to know is that does the radio version in wm affect the andriod one?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Turn off auto backlight control in WM.

No, but your radio version can affect reception and call quality in both OSes.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ted presley:
I can confirm that android use WM time as GMT+0. It means if you live in London, you got no problem with the time between android and WM. If you live in other country and use auto update through network....you will get the time of Android and WM different...
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Auto backlight is already turned off.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] garr89:
Overall, everything's been going well. I couldn't get Swype to work. Been streaming pandora through wifi at medium volume for the past 3hrs (screen off/dimmed) and battery is at 52%. Got stuck when changing the volume a few times and android had to reboot. That was a part of the 3hrs. So far so good.

How to navigate within android os

Great thanks for Tremere, his done a really great job, the latest version is running quite smoothly in my rotten X1.

Sorry for the stupid question, but I really don't have any idea how to navigate within android, especially to return/back/exit within the application. I always end up hiting X button to go back to the home menu, but everytime I back to the application it will stay in the same screen where I left it, so I couldnt access other area within the application. Is there any way to "exit " the application? or back button?

I have broken DPad, and OK hardware button, maybe this is the main reason? I have no problem in WM OS, as I can always hit touchscreen OK button, or use the optical keypad. Is there any way to remap the hardware key within Android?

many thanks..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] gaolinde:
power button = home button

left silver button = menu button

ok button = back button

end call button = power button/offscreen
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] akeohan:
Wanted to thank everyone here and especially Tremere for all the hard work. Because of there hard work I have 2.2 running better then 2.01 ever did!!! Battery life is yet to be tested but so far is looks promising. I did have a little trouble getting 3G to work but after creating a new API and getting info of the web its all up.

I do have one small issue, the side LED lights are flashing like the device is plugged in and charging even thou its not. I did run 2.2 for the first time while the device was plugged in so I am wondering if that is the cause?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
Disable LED Illumination in WinMo first, I often start Haret whilst charging so disabling the LEDs was my best option.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dzent56:
Thanks for the explanation. Then..my guess was right, since my OK button is broken then no chance for me have this. Is there any way to change the key mapping?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
I've got a new zImage which has its cpufreq settings corrected - I changed it from 'performance' to 'conservative', seems to have added an hour with screen off.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Is the performance difference noticeable?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] nerfg002:
Great Work again! THX,hehe,I'll try
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] xmfreak:
Great news. I gave my old X1 to my sister -I have a Desire now- and I'm sure she will be happy with this since she's already sick of WinMo.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Dava_2:
I like it, but my battery goes so hot so I avoid it for now..

I'm really new to this Android stuff, So how do I need to ensure my way to install it is correct without losing anything such as USB connections etc etc?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Prillan91:
Hi

First, awesome work, I love it.

I'm having a bit of trouble with all xdandroid builds. After clearing the SD-card and copy all files there's no problem starting android. But the second time I try to start it i.e after a reboot the phone reboots about halfway through haret.exe.

It looks like this:

*LOTS OF TEXT*

"Phone will reboot in 7 seconds"

*PAUSE FOR 4-5 SECONDS*

*LOTS OF TEXT*

*REBOOT*

Is there a way to log/dump the text to a file?

Also, I don't know if it's related(probably is). When in android and "clicking" Power off the phone reboots into WinMo immediately.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

I can't seem to login to any Google accounts in the Accounts settings. There is only an option for Exchange accounts. If I remember correctly in Android 2.1, I can login to Google accounts. Is that the reason why the gmail and market apps seem to crash?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Hmm, first guess is that one of the files didn't get copied properly. Try again, leave a little while after its finished copying before taking the microsd out/disconnecting the usb cable.

Bug wifi

I find a bug when trying to get wifi working:

Android or the wifi modules can't connect to network with SSID containing swedish letter(åäö), it finds it but when trying to connect it only scanning.

It works in WM.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ethanliew92:
so do I just need to erase all my files from my SD card and copy this thing into it and straightaway can run it without anything? anybody care to tell me the step-by-step guide please? I just repaired my X1 and I don't wanna risk it again.. Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
No need to erase but please clear stuff like:

conf

data.img

that might have been left by previous androids and also use 'safe eject' when copying.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] plonkersaurus:
It would be good to switch the power button over to end call.

To put the phone in standby end call is used and to turn the phone off (hold down end call) to bring up the menu. But the end call button on the x1 seems to repeat so you can never get it to just get the menu up to turn off the phone, it always puts it in standby.

The power button doesnt seem to repeat in the same way (i think)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
I find it highly annoying as well, I'll need to learn to keymap it Android-style.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] yewthanasia:
why not setting "end button behavior" to "nothing" from spare parts? so holding the end button brings up the menu and the phone shuts down without any troubles, its fine for me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
Yeah u have to ^^ because the last release is working bad for azerty kbd ^^ (The third line of key don't work. )

It's not a big deal, it's not the first issue to solve ;) There are more important things..

Btw, with the last zImage modified, SetCPU stopped working ( force close ).
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
with the last zimage the web scrolling is very bad. i will back to the old zimage
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Android really don't support more buttons?

We are wasting our buttons on X1. Power and panel button does the same thing. Same for right softkey and end call. And i suppose camera button does nothing (yet).And seems like middle button on D-pad is not working also.

Xperia is designed to work with front buttons. Now we are going to leave half of the buttons and pretend they are not here?

P.S.: i have just switched to WM and tried to wake up phone with end call button :D

About latest zImage: performance on the X1 is already big issue and i don't think that increasing battery life by reducing performance even more would be good idea.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] przemhb:
Unfortunately I did not helped, although I've tried many times. I wasn't able to add my account neither.

More problems I've run into:

1. Like in Xperoid 2.0.1 GPRS data connection sometimes works and sometimes does not and I couldn't find a way to make it work.

When it does not work I can ping any remote web site by it's IP, but I cannot view the site in any web browser (problem with DNS?)

2. Data traffic counters like NetCounter or 3G Watchdog do not work.

3. Charging sometimes doesn't work. I thought the cause was current consumption higher then charging current allowable (USB limit), but I think that's not the case.

Suppose we have 700mA input current limit (phone's charger IC limits current consumption from USB to 700mA). Part of the current is used for supplying the phone and rest is used for charging a battery. If the phone is connected to the charger and despite of this battery voltage drops it could mean that phone's current consumption is >700mA. Suppose then we disconnect the charger. As we haven't done anything else with the phone it's current consumption should remain the same, so it should now draw about 700mA making the battery boiling hot. In reality I haven't observed that. Battery remains cold. This mean there's a software problem with controlling charging.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Changing the cpufreq settings shouldn't have an effect on performance. Its supposed to work like speedstep on mobile cpus. But the current kernel codebase doesn't seem to handle it well. I noticed some work was done on later kernels at android.git.kernel.org to improve standby/wakeup on MSM.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] FatTrousers:
Swype works great on this BTW everybody.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
AFAIR, changing CONFIG_MSM7X00A_IDLE_SLEEP_MIN_TIME

had a beneficial effect on performance, but completely broke

the touchscreen.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Might explain our breakage with the official xdandroid kernel then. Will have to check when I get home.

I've been advised suspend/wake works properly on diam, raph etc.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] akeohan:
I disabled the LEDs in winmo and that fixed the charge led on after 2.2 started. The biggest problem for me is battery life, but I think my battery is going bad anyway. As always, thanks for the hard work into this project, it brings second life into my X1 and now justifies the $700 spent on it!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] DonDizzurp:
so glad this is still in progress.. im out of a computer for a while so i cant test the latest build :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ethanliew92:
how to safe eject? I can't seem to find safely eject my USB on Win7

Plus.. How to actually view my sim contacts? Cuz all my contacts are in sim card..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jwte:
Right click on the USB device and it will be in that list.

If sim contacts works in android:

Go to the contacts app and press the left silver button to get a menu and import sim contacts are there.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] :
This always bothers me,

Is there a way to switch the buttons on the top with the silver one above the phone.

because it keeps turing on my screen in my pocket, great work keep it up.

does 3G work in this version?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jwte:
Some suspend work because it get really cold after one hour without touching the phone after being hot. Not tested with the last zImage.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] hojjat1991:
hi

how i can charge my x1?:confused:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Oggy972:
:confused:

Just........ plug it ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Hmm.. seems to be a few people who don't have charging working under Android. But it works for me.

Does Battery Information in the spare parts app say the charger is plugged in (AC)?

A port of xdandroid RC2 will be available soon. I've also compiled a new kernel using their configuration so its one step closer to merging fully.

I'm benchmarking 3.1-3.7MFLOPS from Linpack which seems to be on par with the G1/Hero and the other HTC MSM7201 devices without overclocking :cool:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] yewthanasia:
Yes it does, and the meter/percentage keeps going down.

Keep up the great work!

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] steadyshot:
Can't wait for RC2; Keep up the great work! Also if the power management bug gets sorted out I'm definitely going to start to use it full time. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Wait a minute, that means that X1 is same speed than G1/Hero ? :eek:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] CaptainCool13:
Thank you Tremere for the good work:)

But i have a little problem

When i want to start market i got only a white screen and then i was back at homescreen

In the previous version market works perfectly

I don't know what to do.....

Sorry for bad english xD
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Delver26:
Hmmmm, I seem to only get around 1.7-1.8 mflops using linpack, any idea how are you able to get so much more performance? Great port by the way, you've saved me from binning my X1!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
He have newer version. But it's performance really improved THAT much (2x faster) ?

Sounds way too good to be true.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:

It's stable, I'm using it now. Battery at 72% from full charge with 3G and WiFi (checking Exchange on auto pull), been on standby for 2 and a half hours.

Yay I finally got it to work in my memory card:D. To get wifi to work I had to start it in WM first becuase I tried doing it in Android first but it restarted my phone.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
I have decided to update to nevest RC1 version with "official" wifi patch.

So i have first cleaned up my card, leaving only media folder with my ringtone, DCIM with some pictures and some data folders, which are not android related and were present before without problems.

Then i downloaded and copied newest froyo release with both updates (rooted image and zImage with better battery life).

But now my boot stuck at something like that: "mount failed: invalid argument" folowed by looping error message saying "30.000 ms after vsync request"

And worst thing is that now even old release won't work. What the hell i did wrong?:(

EDIT: i have reformated my card and now it boots normally. But vsync request error is still spamming haret console.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
Noticed that if you enable Flight Mode within WM it carries through to Android, the thing is you can't turn on/off the phone mode within Android even though it toggles wifi and bluetooth without any problems... had to jump back to WM, enable phone mode and then reboot into Android to get the phone running again.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] :
Finally a stable version, which doesn't drain the battery.

but for some reason my signal seams weaker. 3G doesn't work in my house, but in WiMo it never was a problem.

Is there a possibility to switch the button at the top and the right silver button?

that would be more logic if you ask me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] CaptainCool13:
Have anybody the same problem that the most apps not working???

I get everytime a error message

I have been watching the various developments for the X1 since way back when I first got the device and thought that almost everything was dying out now.

This version of android is the most exciting X1 development I've seen for months!

Tremere, this is great work, keep it up.

On a more useful note, yewthanasia's fix for setting end button behaviour to "nothing" is perfect and stops android entering that weird sleep wake cycle with the phone options dialogue box.

I've noticed people seem to be having varying results with reception. As Tremere commented, the version of the radio flashed to the device seems to affect the android radio too.

Can anyone recommend the best radio to combine with this froyo port? Or does anyone have a spare X1 and would be willing to flash available radios to the device and see which works best with froyo?

Just a thought. It looks like there's a decent thread with collections of all available device radios here (wont let me post links properly yet, sorry)

Are there any pointers to articles on debugging 'Droid phones to see where all the cycles/amps are going ?

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to RC2 release.

I still has problem with backlight unable to be turn off even though I have disable Auto Backlight in WinMo before starting 2.2.

PowerTOP seems to be exactly what we want

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532762.. but we need to pull it and the required libs out of a cynogenmod rom.

I included the current.sh to make it easier to grab the current reading from the battery driver.

In normal use we seem to be averaging -250mA.

Also, we need to figure out why we seem to be in running mode 100% of the time, according to this thread over at cynogenmod forums, when it works properly it shouldn't be:

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] visser:
How about values in standby and dimmed screen brightness using the power widget controls?

here's some WM6 (article published in 2006) power benchmarks

when in standby (backlight off, screen off, cpu doing very little, phone only listening for incoming calls), the typical device burns around 5 mA​

5mA on a 1450mA battery, serious... what is froyo clocking in at, hell, what was wm6.5 chugging away at!

The backlight eats power like a whale eats plankton. "Typical" backlights burn 45 mA. [...] If you keep your backlight on continuosly, your 200 hour phone will become a 20 hour phone.​

what effect does dimming the brightness have on day-to-day battery life, lowering the brightness a level or two by default might just get us past the 8 hour barrier.

[...] If you were to load an app that kept the CPU busy just 1% of the time, that app would be using ten times more CPU than normal​

is there a step-by-step users can run through to assist you in daily/hourly, cpu usage reports, etc.?

Signal strength is a huge factor as well. The closer a cell radio is to a cell tower, the less power it takes for the two of them to communicate.​

I've had this last one affect my battery life greatly when my x1 is out of the area (wrong frequency support in NZ vs AU) as the phone continuously looks for a new tower, etc.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsmobile/archive/2006/08/04/689069.aspx
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Tremere:
Thanks for that. Gives us a target to reach.

BatteryDog is what I used to compare some kernels recently, it produces a nice CSV file on the sdcard. It also graphs %/hour usage, and at the moment we are around ~15% per hour. Too much!

dmesg also gives current readings when Android pings the battery for its state, including a bit when the screen is off but yet to go to sleep.

So far on low brightness it seems backlight is responsible for 50mA, high brightness over 90mA.

edit: It was reported in the Cynogenmod forum that Market can stop the device going into sleep.

Try disabling notifications by going to Market->Menu key->Downloads->Menu key->Notifications->Don't notify me.

Let me know if the 'Running' % in Spare Parts battery history falls below 100%. It seems to be doing it so far. :cool:

Also, while you are in spare parts, set end call button behavior to sleep.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
mmm... I have noticed also that the speaker pre-amp is always "on" and it is very loud. Maybe that is one of the reasons. I have a bad idea, but for testing purposes its nice... will try to disable permanently the speaker and chek the battery status. will post updates.
