com.htc.bgp error since updating to this radio - any ideas?

I updated to this radio and am now getting the above FC, any ideas how I can fix this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
I flashed Paul's r3.1 rom with added A2SD+

Everything is working fine, but I can't use Google Earth. After I installed it, it says:

"Can write to data directory, maybe run out of disk space."

I have enough space in my A2SD storage and internal memory. Any way to make it work?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desire_this!:
I too am having the same issue. Part of the point of having A2SD is having Earth installed, but this setup broke it. Everything else works like a dream though! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
I solved this issue, installed different version of Google earth (~5,7 MB, first version was around 5,6 MB) and it works now! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desire_this!:
Hmm, could you please provide a link. I've tried 2 different versions myself but no go. :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
check your pm ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh500:
Can you send me the link too? I've got the same issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
sent, check your pm ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh500:
Thanks for the app. Unfortunately, it still seems to install to the internal memory, taking up the standard ~20MB space :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey_kon:
I've got the same issue. Please, Can you send me this link too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STOPTHESEJETS:
Same here.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STOPTHESEJETS:
btt

Anyone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Can't be done, only Data2SD would do it

[Desire Themes and Apps] kokwei:
Hi all,

I'm running MCR 3.1, and am looking for the Stock Android Contacts app to replace the HTC's People app which is heavy, and slow.

Yes, I screwed up by flashing [MOD] Dialer/Contacts.apk 2.8 Based off ChainsDD Dialer that can be found in the HTC Dream/G1 thread. I didn't notice that the app is for the G1 :-(

Anyway, after flashing the app now resides in /system/app/Contacts.apk. I tried to uninstall it but failed. I then tried to remove it via adb by doing:

abd shell rm -f /system/app/Contacts.apk, got the error message "Directory not empty".

I tried removing the app using a file brower (Android mate - which has superuser access), still failed to uninstall.

Need help to remove it permanently from /system/app as this app which I wrongly flashed crashes when launched.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastan:
how many of you think that there will be a stable and usable Android ROM on HD2 in a month ?

(I must decide between Desire and HD2 in a week,and want HD2 because of the 200$ lower cost but hate WinMo !)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
So, your poll is to gauge the likelyhood of an Android->HD2 port to help your buying decision? Bro, if I wanted Android that bad I'd just buy an Android phone. Never get people that would even ponder buying a WinMo device then beg/stress for an Android port LOL

If it's any help in your decision - apparently HTC has run out of the AMOLED screens and will be packaging the Desire with an LCD screen.

http://androidcommunity.com/htc-for...ft-lcd-from-amoled-due-to-shortages-20100625/

But hey, whatever works for you ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastan:
thanks ,

my HD2 advantage list is

HD2 bigger screen , sexier , less COST (450$ unlocked)

Desire on the other hand

ANDROID , costs (650$ unlocked )

so as you can tell hd2 with android is my dream phone , lol !!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
I hear ya! I do like Android, I spend quite a bit of time playing with and flashing her rooted Desire. She often tells friends that I have 2 phones and she goes without lol.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johcos:
It's nice my friend to play with 2 operating systems in one phone but my opinion is, don't by a phone that you don't like just because it's cheaper.

Android will run on HD2 but don't expect it to run flawlessly, like it would run on an android phone.

If you like android buy android.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarathustrax:
There are people that think there's going to be a perfect android port in a month??? :eek::eek:

Seriously... look at all the other android ports for other winmo phones.... some have been developed for years, and are still nowhere near perfect. Most of them are hardly usable on a daily basis as your main os. Most have severe battery issues and can only last a few hours, almost none can use camera, some don't have sound, bluetooth, 3d, etc... I wuoldn't expect a port that you would want to use on a daily basis instead of winmo on the HD2 for at least a year.... and that would be some quick development.

Seriously people... if you are seriously interested in android ports... do some research. Read about the development of the other ports for winmo devices. They take a long time. You can't expect it to miraculously work perfectly in a few months. I really can't believe the poll results are almost even results right now.... it's ridiculous to think your gonna be using android on your HD2 like it was an android phone anytime soon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeewadj:
mate you have to be kiding :eek::eek: in one month

you have high expetations lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wil Badger:
Even if they got Android working with in the next month it would not be fully working. Try looking over the other builds for other phones that have been ported for the last year or so and you will find that they still have problems getting all the hardware to work.

If you want Android that bad then you best forget about the HD2 as an option.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastan:
Thanks for the replies , I will wait a little bit longer (for the cash! ) and may seriously consider Desire !
[EVO 4G General] cjcamilla:
To back up the way you have your screens set up? Also, how do I preserve user data from apps?

I hope someone helps!
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
go download titanium backup, don't know it you can preserve your senseui setup but it works fine with other launchers.
[EVO 4G General] cjcamilla:
I'll go ahead and try it, thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
It can, you have to backup the item called "[DESKTOP] HTC Sense 1.00" It will be in green font.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobtentpeg:
For those that didnt know, you can set the policy in the wifi menu area by hitting menu>>advanced
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
yes but wifi still doesnt maintain as stable a connection for some reason
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
But the "never sleep" option never work for me. For example, with the setting "Never" on, when I tried to transfer file over wifi with SwiFTP, the transfer will stop at the moment the phone screen is off, and I hv to unlock the screen again to resume the transfer. Same thing happens to Market download.

I m running stock nonroot Nexus One Froyo FRF83. Solution for me now is using screebl lite and hold the phone to keep the screen on until the transfer is done... a pain in the ass.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
Just installed and tried the app: I tried copying a 300MB video file from phone to PC over wifi via SwiFTP, the transfer stop a bit after the screen is off, still hv to unlock the screen to allow the transfer continue.... Thanks for the effort though, this is really bugging me and I hope at some point the "never sleep" policy will actually work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
Thanks guys, for trying out the app..yeah this setting is available pretty deep into the menus but my reason of doing this app was:

1. To make it quick (especially through widget)

2. To really make it work..

The first release essentially takes care of the first point.. However to take care of the concerns pointed out, like by lou and flybyme, I'm adding some more workarounds to it to keep wi-fi working.. I'll probably have some more news for you guys around weekend :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Yes, thats a bad bug on NexusOne.

I can't stream Music to the phone. When screens getting off, the stream stops.

Very bad.

Make a pingtest to your phone.

With screen on, everything is fine, screen off it went crazy.

No Dev here, who can make changes to this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
For those didn't know, that option doesn't actually work on android.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
I have a couple of workarounds that are working.. but I still need to do a lot of work to make them optimal. Will be released soon in 1.2.0

The other thing that compounds the problem is that apart from the phone itself, there is a lot dependent on the routers as well.. That part I'm still trying to figure out a workaround for..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Thank you, sounds good ;-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Great, please keep on working on this app :)

(and dont forget to read this, when u find time ;) )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] erikiksaz:
Hah, I like how you snuck that one in there :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gr8gorilla:
couldn't you manipulate the stay awake while charging set up to make the phone stay awake forever? That works, I know if I have that checked and the phone plugged in the screen never turns off!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lou2serious:
Your right, this is a standard feature android has had for a long time. Basically going to setting>wireless & networks>Wi-Fi settings>press menu> select advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy> select from these options "when screen turns off", "never when plugged in", "never"

Of course by selecting "never" your wifi never disconnects while your phone sleeps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
haha.. thanks for reminding me.. :P I'm pretty lousy with graphics though.. I'll try coercing one of my creatively-non-challenged friends to do some work for me :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
Yes, that would work but:

1. It won't work for times when your phone is not plugged

2. It slows down the charging rate

Yes, that is true but as I mentioned earlier in the thread. The reasons to do this app are:

1. Quick access. The setting for this is buried too deep and I wouldn't like to have this set to "never" (e.g.) all the time. I'd like to do it in a tap whenever I'm doing something that doesn't require me to look at the screen but wi-fi needs to be on. Otherwise you have most of the settings anyways in Android (for wi-fi/gps/sync/etc), why would you need widgets for them?

2. The settings mentioned don't work always. Although the app provides pretty much the same options to the user as the in-built setting provides but I'm trying to include work-arounds in the back end that would really make it work.

Will put this in the OP as well..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vandam500:
Actually it works perfectly fine for me. At work I have it set to Airplane mode but with Wifi on. I still receive all my Google Talk, Emails, etc just fine with the screen off.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] z3ntn3l:
+1 here with that Problem on Nexus One.

I tried many ROMs (CM, MCR......), every Radio and some "WiFi Alive"-Apps on the Market (They are developed for Android 1.5) and NOTHING changed the Situtation:

Music-Streams always disconnect when the Phone goes into Stand-by. It's horrible. There are some Posts from different People about this Problem in the ROM-Threads from Cyanogen & Co but it seems most of the People dont have this Issue so its not recognized by the Devs?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeeDroid:
Same problem here. I'm trying to stream shoutcast radio stations with Xiialive, but it's buffering all the time as soon as the screen turns off :-( ...htc desire
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
Guys, could you help me a bit in figuring out the solutions..

Please also report the ROM you are using if it doesn't work for you..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
Are you on a wep connection? I noticed this only happened on my AES WPA connection at my office, but not at my house (wep).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sindroid:
This bug sucks big time. Real pain in the ass when you are online with meebo or something.

When the first leak of Froyo came around, it maintained the wi-fi no prob.

But now with FRF83 it came back.. Annoying..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] worker1:
I've tried to connect via ssh to quick sshd but I have to run the browser right before I connect to activate the wifi connection. Hopefully you can get this to work. Maybe someone else can help you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
This is indeed an annoying issue. I was downloading a new rom earlier and had to keep the phone alive by hitting the trackball every now and then before it went to sleep. As soon as it sleeps, bam, transfer stops.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] y2whisper:
Yeah i too have the problem on WPA2 at home, but not so much on other networks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lou2s:
My phone is N1 Stock non-root Froyo FRF85B, and the "Never Sleep" doesn't work at home (WPA2-PSK/AES), 802.11n draft router.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sousafrui:
I didn't read throughout the allbl thread so pardon me if someone already post this workarround i use with 100% success: i just use another app that has already built in it this functionally mencioned in this thread. I use one msm app (msn talk) that you coul find in the market. The app keeps my wifi on as long msn is connected (simple: keep my state offline so i don't get bother).

I also suffered from that problem even with the system configuration "always on' turned on I'd get a lost connection.

You could also try another approach: try to use some widget /app who keeps you phone active while the screen goes off. I've read some where (probably in here xda forum) that someone made a app for that porpouse. If so i think that also do the trick jn keeping wifi on.

Hope i helped

Had the same problem on my HTC Desire with the froyo custom roms. That was one of the reasons I downgraded back to the stock one. That one works great

I have this problem with the desire stock rom, didn't modify anything
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] maedox:
I don't quite see the point of this app, but it's good to see that people use their skills for good at least.

I have never seen the wi-fi bug on mine. The screen has been off for a few hours and I can still ping it and ssh to the dropbear server. I'm on Linksys WRT54GL w/ WPA2 on Tomato at home now, and at work I'm using a BlueSocket setup with WPA2/PEAP. Sleep policy set to never sleep = never sleep for me. You must be doing something wrong. :p

You guys with problems are you using the latest radio? Are you on some custom kernel with lower or higher voltage levels?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
no it happens on fully stock phones as well
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
UPDATE: Potential work arounds for folks having problem in sleep policies not working correctly have been put in version 1.2.0. Please redownload to test and let me know. Read this for more details. OP also has full changelog and download details

Changes in this version:

* Added workarounds to take care of sleep policies not working on some phones

* Optimized the code a bit for faster operations

* Added Configuration screens to widgets (pops up whenever widget is added)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] noapp:
Might I ask what the two workarounds are? Knowing this might help me to understand which to select.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] noapp:
Sorry but the workaround does not work. I have tried with both checked but as soon as my screen is turned off, I cannot ping the device anymore.

It's Desire on OpenDesire v1.5 (Froyo AOSP 2.2_r1.1).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
my wifi is still dropping on both fixxes

modaco r21 based on froyo frf93

i've got a workaround which pings my router every 60 seconds, this keeps my wifi awake all the time, but consumes around 1-2% battery
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
The first workaround is to get a wifi lock and monitor its state.

Second workaround is to get a partial wake lock, which keeps the CPU running even with screen off (CPU should anyways be running if you want to keep the wi-fi on so there shouldn't be any issues).

Also note that these work arounds would come into effect in accordance with the policy you choose. I'm trying to keep the behaviour as close as possible to the sleep policies to avoid any unnecessary drain on battery.

Edit: BTW I'll add this info (along with new workarounds) in the app itself with next release. It's taking a bit of time because I want to keep the layouts as uniform as possible for all old devices as well.

This might be due to a third case because of routers. I haven't been able to pin point the issue so far but with the above workarounds I'm able to use a friend's G1 and my nexus 1 fine with one of the routers that I have. But my nexus still fails when connected to another router that I have. Also note that so far it seems that this issue is not really related to sleep policy. This issue happens even if you keep the device alive by constantly tapping the screen but there is not much data transfer happening.

I have a test build with a regular ping message and it, along with work around 1 or 2, keeps wi-fi always working even with my second router but I'm still perfecting it to reduce battery usage as much as possible and also allow a way to work for people with different subnets etc. That would be out around next weekend as I'll get time to work on it around next friday/saturday only..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] qvert:
hmm cant you ping the default gateway? which should normally be the router on homenetworks?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
^^ Yeah thats what I am doing right now.. but somehow it keeps returning me false when I use a router with a subnet 10.10.x.x but works fine with the other router with 192.18.x.x subnet and I can ping both fine through PC. Maybe I'm doing something wrong somewhere..

besides I want to make this extremely battery effective based on various conditions the phone can be in (right now in my test build, it starts pinging immediately when wi-fi comes alive and keeps pinging till switched off)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
Updated to 1.2.1 (Primarily for a bug fix. Rest are some usability enhancements that were pending on a branch)

Changelog:

* Changed "Advanced options" to button instead of text

* Bug Fix for a Force Close

* More Optimizations

* Help and Info Menus (to explain options and workarounds)

* Option to disable/enable debug logging
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] maRioHD:
My nexus one's wifi still has issues even with this. Although it does reconnect the wifi once I turn the screen on (with the workaround) so atleast it somewhat helps me. But it doesn't keep the wifi on while the screen is off, so streaming in Pandora stops once the song is over and it is trying to get the next song. :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
^^ Mario, could you please mention these things:

1. What is the ROM version that you have?

2. What is the app version that you have? (latest is 1.2.1)

3. Did you enable the workarounds in the advanced options?

4. Can you please enable logging in the advanced options and send me logcat dump for this duration
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] maRioHD:
1. My rom is a deodexed frf91.

2. I am running version 1.3, which is the lastest version but i have always had problems with pandora on the nexus one. I think its just the hardware problem not pandora's fault.

3. I have enable both workarounds both didnt work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
Thanks Mario. Btw, by "app version" I meant the version of Wi-FI Keep Alive that you are using. I am not able to see the logs from my app in these logs but one thing is for sure that atleast the software is not turning off wi-fi.

This is because if that was the case, you should have seen a log like "setting ACTION_DEVICE_IDLE timer for ..." after you see the logs "D/WifiService( 85): ACTION_SCREEN_OFF" and/or "D/WifiService( 85): ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED pluggedType: 2".

Do you face this failure immediately after screen is turned off or it takes some time? Does this happen even if you are doing a file transfer instead of using pandora?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Hm, I don't know, whats to do.

With or without this app, its the same.

If I ping the Nexus with enabled screen, I have pingtimes 1-100, with screen off I have 200 - 3000 and dropped.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] maRioHD:
haha my bad, and yes i am running the lastest version of your app.

And the wifi stops the streaming a minute or 2 after the screen is already off, but for file transfers or downloads it stops it right away.

I dont know its weird, but oh well atleast the app turns wifi back on when screen is turned on. Before i was manually turning the wifi off and on again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jbrinkley:
thanks OP, I really hope you get something worked out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jbrinkley:
OP,

I will be working on my phones sat and sun probably all day. I have both versions and have been working on the att one for days with no luck. had your app on both phones and went through stock att build to frf50 and to geo411 froyo with stock radio, and one previous radio under that so far. Right now I'm checking all the kernels. NO luck with the att phone.

I'm starting to think it really is a hardware issue between the phones.

I'd really like a fix and would pay for one. let me know if I can help in any way.i can get logs or flash whatever, have a netgear and a linksys.

I'll keep an eye here for you.

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
Updated to 1.3.0

11-July-2010 -> 1.3.0

* Added workaround 3 (Ping the router gateway regularly)

* Lot of optimizations for battery savings.

* Apply workarounds without needing to select the policy again
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
Could you please try v 1.3.0 and enable all 3 workarounds? Also, if it still doesn't work, please enable all workarounds and logging option in the app and take a dump of logcat for this duration ---> start logs from slightly before phones goes to sleep, then let it go to sleep and after the wi-fi connection breaks, then bring it out of sleep. stop logs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jbrinkley:
worked with work arounds.

TMO phone with frf91 by geo411 and 2.6.34-925xxxcfs kernel.

only one unreachable in 8 minutes.

I'll leave it all night and see what happens.

tomorrow I'm going to check the att phone.

THANK YOU.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] shantzg001:
^^ Awesome. Nice to know. Please do update with the overnight results..
