I get this issue once in a while. I think its a software issue. Over time something gets hung up somewhere.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
I had a thread like this as well..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691399

For me it still happens randomly, stock 2.1 rom, stock 2.2 rom, Enom's ROM, etc...

Although I have a theory that I haven't tried to prove/disprove yet.. It seems like several times when this has happened I was holding my finger over the second mic on the back, which is naturually where my finger seems to lay when I hold the phone. Anyone else considered this? I'm thinking maybe it's throwing off the microphone trying to do noise cancellation?
[Nexus One General] nexusdue:
Definitely not the finger covering the mic. Just tried it with/without and same result.

There was another thread that was at least 3-4 pages of people complaining about it.
[Nexus One General] S_Dot:
Sounds more like a network issue than a hardware issue, IMO
[Nexus One General] julianwong22:
This issue has come up recently for me and it's really annoying. I'm not sure what triggered this problem...

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any ideas on how to resolve?

I've got the Rogers/AT&T N1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FatMutha:
Any help on the matter would appreciated on this. I've searched through the forums for answers, but most are older responses to the problems I'm having and I don't want to follow them in case I cause more of a problem.

I Just installed Android on my TyTN II, and the WiFi, Camera and USB Sync do not work.

1 - When I try to enable Wifi it just goes "unable to start Wi-Fi

2 - When I try to run the Camera Application that came with install I downloaded I get error "The applicationCamera (Process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

3 - When I try to connect my phone to my PC (Windows 7) it connects fine and I get a notification for USB Debugging and USB connected. When I click on USB Connected it asks me to mount the SD card, but all it does is unmounts it. Then for Android to see it again I'm force to reboot, as I can't mount it again through settings.

I've installed:

Kernel - kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh

OS - Myn's Warm Donut RLS5 (for Kaiser only).zip (which includes all updates)

Radio - 1.70.19.09

HardSPL - 3.56

Now this is my first install of Android on my TyTN II, and the process all went smoothly, except for these problems I have when running Android.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I tried reinstalling everything two times, and I also tried removing the battery, draining the device and putting it back and powering on. However I'm still having the same problems. Also I'm continuing to read through the forums for an answer. I figured I'd post this anyways as there is more of a chance someone will be able to point me in the right direction before I find the answer :)

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] toasty_:
OK first you are using Kernel 2.6.32, so you need the wifi modules (wlan.ko - wifi driver) compiled for this kernel. Myns Warm Donut does include drivers for 2.6.25.

here you can find a update that you can install to get wifi working. (its for froyo but should also work with donut)

You are using a froyo kernel on a donut system. For a working camera you need to edit this kernel with nbh editor or with hexeditor:

set the value hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0

at the moment there is no way to sync your phone via USB you need a googlemail account

Btw why you want to use donut. Froyo and Eclair are also stable, fast and have some useful functions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FatMutha:
First thank you for the quick reply :)

OK with these two points in mind. Would it be better/more stable for me to just use a kernel designed for the Donut system instead of editing the NBH and install drivers?

So you know I used the Kernel that I installed because in the How-To it said you take the latest Kernel. In future how can I know which kernel is for the correct release?

I'm not looking to sync with google mail. I have an account and am able to connect to the Market Place and such. I just want to be able to access the SD card via USB. Is this not possible/fully functional?

I used Myn's Donut release because again in the How-To it said WiFi, BT, Camera etc are working in it. But then of course I goofed and installed the wrong kernel :D

With your help here I have a better understanding of it all now and will try what you said, and also experiment with other Kernel's and releases to find what I like best.

FatMutha
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Lol, beat me to it :).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FatMutha:
Since it was noted that I was using a Froyo Kernel on Donut system... from the list of kernel's that can be downloaded here on DZo's Site All recent kernel's in the last month or so are Froyo. Where can I find a recent Kernel for Myn's Donut release?

Also as noted I don't want to sync via USB, I just want to be able to access the SD via USB.

And last is there a place where I can find all builds, Eclair, Donut, Myn's.Froyo etc? or will I need to dig through the foums as the How-To only lists Incubus and Myn.

Also I went to edit my NBH file ( I use Windows NBH Editor) for the camera to change hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0, but I don;t see that option anywhere. Am I using an outdate NBH editor?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] toasty_:
in fact there the actual kernels are for froyo. But by editing the kernel with hexeditor or nbh editor you can also use them with donut. The value 'hw3d.version' indicates if it is used for eclair/froyo (1) or donut (0). If you use a hexeditor for the manipulation you have to look for this value. If you are using loserskaters nbh-editor you can directly change to eclair, froyo or donut.

I don't know if it is actual working with windows i because i am using linux on my machine. For reading and writing to the sdcard I have to set 'Start recovery' in the boot (install-) menu on the phone (need a reboot), otherwise it won't work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FatMutha:
Ok I changed it to Donut from Froyo and the camera is working

Good new on this as well. I rebooted and from boot menu I set the start recovery and sure enough it works. I'm able to connect my phone to my windows PC and access the SD card :D

Toasty I would just like to say thank very very much... with your quick and courteous answers you saved me a lot of headaches and time in trying to get these items working and searching the forums for answers.

One last question I have that maybe you can answer. I had all my contacts in WinMo..I used pimbackup to back them up regularly, now before I moved to Android I saw that there doesn;t seem to be pimbackup for Android. I searched google for ways to migrate contacts from winmo to android and I found Sprite Migrate. I was able to backup everything fine, however right now I'm having problems restoring the application keeps crashing on me.

Do you know of any program that will all for easy migration of contacts from winmo to android. I'll move back to winmo on a temp basis if needed to get my contacts in android.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] toasty_:
If you have stored your contacts in Outlook so the easiest way is to export them in a CSV-File. Then you open the googlemail web-interface from your windows machine. On the left side is a button named contacts. It contains a submenu to import Contacts from CSV-File.

After you have imported them to your google account, you can sync them to your phone.

If you want to get your contacts to Outlook you can also export them from google in a CSV-File
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FatMutha:
Problem is I don't have Outlook. I have the windows live mail that comes wtih live essentials, but windows mobile center in windows 7 doesn't sync contacts to that. It can only sync to Outlook. Which is why I found the the program sprite migrate.

Prior to me switching to Android I was never able to sync my contacts to my computer, which is why I used pimbackup. Whenever I changed Winmo ROM's i used pimbackup to restore my contacts to my phone.

I'm also wondering if enabling the start recovery in the boot menu might be causing this. Is there a way to disable this once its been added? I tried going back to boot menu and running the option again to disable it, but it just started the process again.

Also I just tested Bluetooth for the first time driving home.. it works in the sense it finds and pairs with my device (in this case my GPS in the car), however my voice according to the other end sounds like a muffled robot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FatMutha:
Also I noticed when I checking info about the version of Android I installed and it says firmware version 1.6.

Now I see through various forum posts that there is android 2.1 working on Kaiser... Am I running a later version because of the Kernel or does it have to do with myn's build I downloaded?

When I followed the How-To on installing android I followed the links provided for kernel and android builds and downloaded those I thought were latest versions.

I'm reading through the forums on seeing different release's of andoird, but how do I know which is the latest build/firmware?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] toasty_:
Yes thats correct! YOU are using a donut build (Android 1.6) the newer builds are eclair (Android 2.1) und froyo (Android 2.2). All have nearly the same functions. For a long time donut (imho especialy myns) was the most stable release. But actualy the new froyo (2.2) releases are well optimized for our devices and are fast and stable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Zombie069:
Yea that update file just wiped my phone as if it was new, and still hasn't fixed the wifi issue..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] FatMutha:
Are you sure you didn't select the wrong option in the boot menu?

When installing the WiFi update you need to select Install Update, then fix permissions. If your phone got wiped chances are you selected Install System.

When I ran the update it fixed my WiFi issues right aways. Also today I installed Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] [9/3/10] and everything worked right from the get go.

The only problem I'm still having is with sprite migrate it can't seem to open the backup of my contacts I made from WinMo.

Right now I'm going revert back to WinMo do a backup again with sprite but also backup contacts to text with PimBackup import to google then sunc with Android as a precaution. Sprite Backup is supposed to make migrating from WinMo to Andoird easy, I read where people have used it without problems but for me its not working, which leads me to believe I probably had a corrupted backup.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Zombie069:
Yea thanks for that advice.

No I'm sure I chose Update.. After it "updated" it would wipe the phone everytime I turned it off..

I finally just started over since it already ****ed my data anyway.

Working fine now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] qqdawg:
You are using a froyo kernel on a donut system. For a working camera you need to edit this kernel with nbh editor or with hexeditor:

set the value hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0

I'm running a Eclair kernel on a EClair system with the same error, any idea what can be done to fix it?

hw3d.version=1

I'm running this using HaRET. PolyMod 2.1D is the version of Android I'm running off. (Camera works fine if I install kernel and system to NAND directly)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zPacKRat:
I'm looking for some help in what it would take to be able to reassign buttons to certain functions. for instance I would like the end key to be just the end key, with no power options, the power button to be just the power button, where it does not end calls if pushed. Can a button be mapped to an application, such as the ptt button being associated to voice search, etc.

Seriously, a keymapper app for Kaiser? This just has to be one of the most useful utilities we could have right now :)

I have gotten used to the 'traditional' key map that we have had since way back when, but I do know that it took some getting used to, so an app like this would be a perfect addition to every build we have :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ghghgh14702:
can we finally map the power and end button different like in winmo? or atleast the camera/other unused buttons...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zPacKRat:
If you follow the link in l1q1d's signature you will see other devices already available. and it looks like we will gain quite a bit of control over our button mapping. but the changes are made at the kernel level, so you won't be able to change on the fly like winmo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
The changes are applyed on the key mapping of android (not in kernel) so you need to reboot to reload them, is less "user friendly" them win...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zPacKRat:
But your editor looks like it has been added to the nbh editor and I thought that modified peramiters in the kernel. Maybe I am wrong on all counts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
No, it generates an androidupdate, try the tool before posting next time :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zPacKRat:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ghghgh14702:
Anything can be done, its a just a matter of the amount of work that is required. You have to figure everyone has to make a paycheck and this isn't doing it so cut everyone some major slack especially if they are actively trying. If you want to make negative comments then try doing something yourself and see how hard it is.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ghghgh14702:
I'm just wondering if there is a specific file that contains this info can you tell me where it is? I have been messing with some of the files, using root on my laptop, and would love to play with this file.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
Sure just edit this file /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
We can change the situation, we have always been able to, it's only been a year, and I'm still amazed at how far we have come.

Every improvement and breakthrough for Android on non-native devices requires considerable time, patience and skill on the part of the developer who chooses to tackle the problem that they feel they can make a contribution to.

Without the developers Android will stagnate and die on our devices, we will be left with only the builds and support files we have at present, almost, but not quite, complete.

So before asking asinine questions like the one above, ask yourself, can I fix this, have I the skill, dedication, drive and commitment to succeed? If the answer is negative, then refrain from negativity, if the answer is positive, then be positive and contribute your solution.

'Let he who hath understanding,reckon the key bindings of the beast' :)

L1qu1d: Please continue, what you have done so far in the integration of the nbh editor is amazing, it's fast becoming the 'swiss army knife' tool that it promises to be for Kaiser, I hope you do not feel the need to rush this however, I hope I speak for others when I say, something this good needs to be taken time over :)

is the keymapper an apk, or an edutor for the pc? Couldn't find the apk...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
The keymapper makes an androidupdate.tar file, just put it in the andboot folder, start the kaiser in installer menu and install the update, don't forget to fix permissions before you exit :)

I also recorded a track with mytracks (google earth file attached). In yellow the Galaxy S. In red an HTC Hero. I was in bicycle so I was following the right side of the road and parking lot.

We can see that the track for the Hero is fine. The Galaxy S, however, thinks that I crossed the tennis court, the woods, and a university building.

The funniest thing is that in GPStest, my Hero get about 12-16 meters of precision, while I get about 5-10 with the Galaxy S.

So my issue is that the GPS is not accurate. It is very quick to get a fix so this works well.
