I have a real showstopper problem with this kernel. When ts-calibration comes up, console information pops up one second later, making it impossible to see the little squares to touch on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Calibration file issues

The release note with kernel commit 1245 on the other thread specifically warns that a calibration file must be in place before booting (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9757042&postcount=1). I'm guessing that this test kernel of WisTilt2's is based on that kernel?

If so, 'downgrade' to an earlier kernel, go through the calibration process, then upgrade again.

Personally, I haven't done a calibration since they started leaving them in the main builds - they have always been fine for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
All is not well... :(

I think you might be right. Prior to the issues described in the next post, my battery drain was very similar to older/non-test kernels. So it looks like the panel isn't being turned off properly on my rhod100.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Further feedback after 18 hours use

Battery consumption is the same as previous kernels, see post above.

Phone has now become unusable with this kernel :(

# Started off smooth as silk, very nice

# Lasted the evening and night, no problems

# Had a sleep of death 9am this morning

# Another an hour later

# Now it goes to the sleep of death within a few minutes of booting, every time

Issues I've noted so far:

When putting phone into airplane mode, it just hangs. Then when I reset the phone, it's in airplane mode. It's the same to reverse it.

Same speakerphone buzz as mentioned.

When I'm in an area of poor signal, if I go any significant length of time, I can guarantee that I'll have to reset the phone to reacquire a signal.

The caps and function lights at the top left of the keyboard do not come on.

When in Android and I reset the phone, WinMo will be 5 hours ahead. Most likely timezone issue as I'm in a -5 time zone. If I go back into Android without fixing the time, I will receive an "error" status for my Wifi in Android.

Same issue of screen being backlit but no image when screen is locked. Sliding the bar (that you can't see) always works, however.

This may be more information than you want, but as you can see, it seems to be working quite well. I'm quite impressed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kwoodyusa:
I did not explain very well. When using the phone normal (not spk phone) and recieving a call waiting call. It will turn on the spk. It seems as if any time there is a a tone to be played it will send the tone to the spk instead of the ear piece.

Yes i have tried new data.img. Just to be sure i will reload from scratch today. i have been messing with some of the 3d drivers too so i will start over and let you know.

Working Great

From problems posted before I did a fresh install of FRO3 to my rhodium 400 Sprint with the updated Kernels from this post about 2 days ago. No crashes at all. Great work. I have installed and uninstalled various programs. Some flash content is working. Video is better. Battery life is much better. response time makes winmo look primitive. Wireless tether is working. USB response seems better. Backlighting only lasts 10 seconds but if you keep typing it stays on.

Is there a setting that changes this or are you close to creating one?

Damn this is close hopefully Camera, Bluetooth, and 3.5 audio are not that far away.

By the way I do have USB audio working with a bluetooth dongle. I have a micro usb hub from Touch diamond and I plug the Bluetooth dongle in the 3.5 jack on the hub transmitting to my stereo bluetooth headset. No hands free but video and music sound great. Thank you guys for the great work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Overmann:
I was able to get calibration to show up by keyboarding into the terminal under Dev Tools and doing:

su

tssc-calibration

Mind you, I had to "ls" my way around the system until I found the calibration app, since there is no "tab autocomplete" or "locate" function in Android. From there I was able to calibrate.

Right now my problem is the performance has gone from super fast to super slow. Clean reboots and all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Overmann:
Rhodium 500, SOD does occure on occasion. Separate from the "panel doen't show up until you touch the Lock slider's location" problem.

I'm very happy with the backlight for the keyboard, now i type a text without worrying about pressing enter and sending the message.

BTW my phone is a rhod100
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ksper6986:
result

ok i have not had any problems besides if i am on pm.sleep_mode 1 and over clocking at max then when i make a call first attempt fails but i hang up and second time it works fine...

no sod

no restarts android nor wm

speed is pretty good

data 2g/3g great

backlight working more like stock

hardware keyboard light great

battery been running since 5:30a.m. and it is 4:16p.m. and i have 40% left damn good

wifi scans and finds my network but it will not connect it rescans and disconnects

bluetooth does not work

testing (pm.sleep_mode1,2) exactly as i wrote it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Let's focus on what this test kernel addresses - kbd backlight and speakerphone improvements.

BT doesn't work. In any build. Wifi works, and should work just fine with this test kernel - you're not using WEP are you? Again, that's status quo for XDAndroid - WEP does not work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ksper6986:
say i have been a user for a wile and i was stating the use that i have had for the nubes not complaining that way they could see whats up if they have something close to what i have but thank you i guess i am just an idiot for helping .....this is great service i guess i should beat myself for what i have done ........thought this site was saposed to be friendly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ksper6986:
once again thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not sure what was unfriendly about my post, I thought I asked quite nicely to stay on-topic.

Considering all the posts that stray from the original idea, you can see why I would be frustrated. I'm trying to get some useful feedback to give to WisTilt2 - BT not working and your wifi issue is not useful to me whatsoever.

If you think the forum is unfriendly, no one is forcing you to use it. I'm trying to get this code committed, this thread isn't for "nubes" as you say, and it's not meant for help - it's meant to test this code so we can see what needs to be modified so it can get committed. Honestly I'd rather you just not test it if this is your attitude.... No offense, but just stick to the main thread for help. What you're doing is not helpful.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] webxplore:
Been usin the latest kernel from post 1....here r my observations.

Keyboard backlight works perfect.

Wifi ..wpa2 works fine..speed is good..switching between wifi and 3g takes sometime but works..3g speeds not impressive.

Usign the kernel for two days..day1 no sod, very good battery life with exchange, gmail,hotmail and yahoo polling mails. Occasional calls. However since day2, have been getting sod frequently..would say every couple hrs when I try tocheck emails. Speaker buzz is clearly audible while in call. Have not used speakerphone.

One last note, I also deleted the data.img file from andboot and reinstalled all my apps from the market. Advanced task killer for froyo is running in safe autokill mode each 30 min.

I can say that after using the kernels from 1/1 and 1/2, I had a feeling that finally I am to use android allday without worrying about sod but my enthusiasm lasted for a day. Still...you guys are awesome and appreciate all the effort .....thx arrrgh..

My 2 cents....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:
I had the same SoD issue as you in that I started out great and then over the next day or two I starting getting some SoD...I haven't figured out the culprit yet but what fixed it for me was uninstalling any "unnecessary" or "fun" programs and sticking with the minimum...the first day or two were great because I hadn't installed much yet...after I brought more programs into play I started having problems...

As I said though - still not sure which program(s) were doing it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] webxplore:
Thx pdawg17.

I will try getting rid of the apps that I had installed and check it out.

I have not used majority of the apps though I have them installed. Just the mail clients with Dolphin browser mini is what I use 90% of the time. I do not know but it could be the total size of these apps on the disk or a stray app triggering the sod.

Is data.img at 256MB fixed? I think so.....My guess is this is probably the internal storage for apps. It is currently at 45% with 25 apps installed according to LINDA file manager.

Will report back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jchutch2:
I've found a new problem. It seems, whether I have a signal/connection or not, even with several bars. The calls will immediately drop. It's like it says it's got a signal and connected, but is not. Am I making sense?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I've had some calls drop, but not with this new kernel... Not that this kernel fixed anything in respect to it, just that I've gotten lucky. I've had several calls just drop out of the blue in the past before, seemingly just because the cell radio doesn't want to do it's job anymore... Gonna be a hard one to track down, that's for sure. If you can recreate it, we'll probably need as many logs as you can muster from such an incident.

I'd definitely be interested to hear if you run a clean system (no apps installed) if you get the SoD. Also, are you OC'd - and what is your pm.sleep_mode setting?

Also, the data.img isn't "fixed" at 256mb. See this thread. FYI, it is the location of all user customizations - apps installed, widgets on your homescreen, etc all go here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jchutch2:
I think I need to clarify. It's not every time. It's once in a while. Also, it's not that the call gets completed and then dropped. As soon as I hit dial and the background screen turns green, it will immediately go back to read and fail. It will do this with every single call until I reboot. It's like it gets into a mode. I'm wondering/assuming it may go hand in hand with the issue I have where if I lose signal from the cell carrier, I can't get it back after a certain amount of time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Probably is the same reason... I'm pretty sure this happens with the autobuild GIT kernels, but it may be worse with this test kernel... I'll let WisTilt2 know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jchutch2:
Well, crap. I was wrong about the wifi, too. It's not the time that's causing the problem. *sigh* Still going into "error" state. Wonder if my phone's the problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
OT: wifi

Wifi isn't affected by this kernel any more than any other, so please use the main thread or a new one unless you are reporting information about the speaker phone microphone, the keyboard backlight or the panel (screen) backlight and associated improved battery life.

However, I would like to ask you if you have made sure that you have tried turning the wifi on when you are sure that the system isn't stealing all the resources? For me, I will get the error state if when I boot all the system resources are being used up by system_server. If I reboot and the system behaves itself (there is no wait error when I first unlock), wifi works fine.

Please reply (if you feel inclined) to the main thread or start a new one.

Hope that helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] randomblame:
I have two suggestions for now:

Double the length of time the keyboard light stays on to 20 seconds.

then commit the keyboard backlight code and lets continue testing the mic - it was acting flakey for me - more so than usual.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ksper6986:
sorry it was a very very bad day did not mean to lash out on you just to much stress here on my end ...once again i am sorry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] webxplore:
Thank your for the link and suggestion.

I guess I could try a clean install of everything and test without any apps. Before I do that I thought, let me get rid of all apps that I really don't need on the phone. So I uninstalled almost all. The only apps I have right now (as seen in the app drawer as well as market) are gingerbread keyboard, clocksync,circle batt widget,launcherpro,xda app, linda fileman, dolphin mini, appremover. Ofcourse, gmail, youtube & google maps got in automatically. Let me know if you want me to remove anything else. These are all the apps other than the ones that came with FRX03.

I will let it run for a day or two monitoring for sod. Whether I see sod or not I am going to start clean (format) and test again over the weekend.

I had the phone on charger all night and ran fine all day. I had notification on for all my emails and I could hear the notification alert all day. This evening (almost 8+ hrs later), I checked my email after a notification alert and noticed the battery level was fluctuating between 23 & 27 and put it to charge only to trigger sod immediately and booted into windows.

Also, I noticed few times that when the phone is in my pocket as I am driving around town, and if I have to make calls, I notice that the phone would fail to respond to buttons and screen tap to wake it up only to eventually trigger sod. Not sure if handing off between cell towers or change in signal strengths is causing the radio/phone to go crazy.

btw, no overclocking and sleep mode is 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ok, just a couple of things.

1. SoD means the phone is basically in a sleep state and you can't wake it. If the phone resets to WinMo... that's not technically an SoD. I know, details details... But they are important in this case!

2. If you're not overclocking sleep mode should be 1. Also, bzo made a recent commit that fixed overclocking and sleep mode 1, so you should be able to OC with sleep mode of 1 now. This test kernel includes that commit, however the camera test kernel does not. bzo made this distinction earlier... hopefully that camera code gets committed soon, as I think that kernel is way behind on everything else ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] webxplore:
Thx...Agree on this....should not have said sod.

I will change the sleep mode to 1 and check it out. Will post back.

Quick question....can I use the 1250 kernel?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] F22:
Certainly, although for rhodium owners there is nothing to be gained currently by switching aside from compcache. In fact you'd lose some of the power management adjustments that WisTilt2 has made in this kernel, so your battery life would drop.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] NightvisionOo:
backlight and volume works perfect on a Rhodium 100 :=) ty for that :=)

finally that was the last step for me to use Android all day and forget that Wimo... :=)

Sound on speaker mic is still too low and has static on my rhod400 but bl is perfect.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Ut0p1a:
today I went to a T-Mobile store in Bellueve to see if it is true that you will never find a Windows Phone 7 on display. As I was looking around for Windows Phone 7, I did not see any Windows Phone 7. All I see were shevels and display of android phones. I made an attempt to ask one of the salesclerk, and told me because Windows phones aren't selling, they didn't want to waste the shelf display. I am really upset at T-Mobile, and I think Microsoft should investigate into this practice. No wonder their phones are not selling.
[Windows Phone 7 General] makoute:
When I went to try the HD7 back at the end of November they had two phones on display, they even had and HD2 on display.

[Windows Phone 7 General] siralex241:
I have noticed a difference with att stores and att authorized stores which look like an att store but they are privately owned. I assume it is the same with T-mobile. The authorized stores will push there highest end phones that are not neccesarily the newest or best phone out considering they want to rid their inventory; so they will try to sell you anything high end that most of the time they have little to no knowledge about haha.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Gonna have to call shenanigans. Almost every decent AT&T store I've been in has a display unit for pretty much every phone they carry barring maybe a few feature phones and dumbphones. But as far as smartphones go, they almost always have at least 1 display unit for every phone.

I used to have AT&T, so I've been in a LOT of AT&T stores :P

T-Mobile stores are just full of lazy employees. There's a 50% chance the phone you want to try will either not be on display, or the reps unplugged it and let the battery run out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chmckay:
I don't know. Around me I have four T-Mobile stores. Each one has a Vibrant, MT4G, HD2 and HD7 running side-by-side. Only one store had the HD7 not working because it was played with so much that it was always in need of a charge.

The problem at these stores is that they were selling the HD7s, but most of them were returned within days of the purchase. According to the sales people the reasons varied. I think most of them were returned because they weren't what people were expecting. However, the sales people were actively pushing it over the Android phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TooSlo:
Uh, the Bellevue (Factoria) has an HD7 on display. It's on the left hand side of the store when you walk in.

The RTC store has one on the left hand side of the store on the upper display when you walk in the door from the main street.

Are you referring to the Bell Square store? While I can't vouch for it, I'm quite confident that they have one on display. Since I'll be there tomorrow, I'm more than happy to take a photo of it.

Cheers!

[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
The T-mobile store in my area isn't even selling WP7 devices, but all the Tmo Stores in the City over have the glass covered with ads. I think it has something to do with whethers its an authorized reseller or an official store. Because T-mobile will market every device. Unlike official stores, authorized resellers will only sell what they see fit. Couple years back the same store in my area would sell the G1 and stop selling sidekicks.

Move your back ups to your computer. Get rid of the zip files from your Tom installs because you can just restore through recovery instead of doin a new Tom install

You can delete all the stuff from your sd card with no side effects to your root status,which rom you are in, apps, etc. The only downside would be that you have no data on the sd card.

I have an 8 gig and have never come close to running out of space. I only have the latest roms out, i have no back ups(i am weird and would much rather do a fresh install everytime), and i only back up contacts to the sd card.

Once youre done with root though, you can delete visonary, the root.sh file or whatever, the recovery.img on the sdcard, etc. with no effects.
