Why do these devices have so many crazy problems... I certainly don't have this issue.

So you're saying if the far end actually hangs up, your phone reboots? Is this consistently reproducible, IE it happens every time you run into this condition? If so, I'd like to see some logs. That's madness.

Someone else described a similar issue with Skype, but seemed to indicate that it was every call ending - no matter which party ended the call, his phone supposedly reboots after a call..

Are you implying me? Yes, my problem was at the end of any skype callls whether I end the call or the other party. Though I still don't know what the cause of it. I have tried your suggestion to start over with the data.img, but the same problem still persists.

Yes, you . That is an odd one, I haven't tried a call to anyone else with Skype other than that test echo123 user or whatever. In fact I uninstalled the app, it was wreaking havoc on my setup....

My setup is also kinda custom. I'll try it again with a completely clean stock FRX06 here in a few.

Edit - my fault man... I just tried on a completely stock FRX06 setup, and it rebooted on me shortly after hitting end call! I guess that's what I get for testing on custom stuff . So I'm thinking it's the new RIL that is resolving the issue, but I'm not positive. This issue will be resolved in FRX07, whatever the cause is. Sorry again for making you sound crazy, I need to keep a completely stock FRX06 around for testing stuff like this .

I'll post an update in a few days (tending to a 6 week old baby boy, too!)

Hi arrrghhh,


I've tried some of the newer kernels from April until the latest in June. None of them resolved my power or wifi issues unfortunately. I tried deleting data.img as well. I also tried a fresh SD format with the HP tool and a clean FRX06 install.


Would you mind pointing me to a RIL tutorial, please? I don't see any references to how to update the RIL on the first page of this, and I tried a quick Google search with no luck either.

Thank you

THANK you very much for at least trying it out. For a second I thought I have gone completely insane since my long time gf just left me....... anyway, do you have any idea of when FRX07 will be out?

Hm can anyone point me in the right direction for which kernal/rootfs that have the fix for the rhod400 for the landscape/portrait issue and the power issues. I mentioned these problems on page 68 and since arrg said they were fixed, I've been downloading and trying them but can't seem to find one.

So any help would be appreciated if you know the number/version/link to one that is fixed for rhod400.

and just to make sure i've been looking for right things, ril=rootfs?

edit: how odd, after updating things, the phone reboots into winmo after running haret . I'll redownload the entire setup and startover this weekend

Using the htc-msm-linux @ 20110618_144657 build and see some "bug" with me:
- can not hear anything when receive call with wifi on.
- random restart
- wifi signal does not stable.

Have any workaround with these?

Thanks

I don't think any kernel old or new will improve wifi "signal"...

Random restart, need logs.

Can not hear anything when receive call with wifi on? No clue. Never heard of it. Need logs. But for weird audio issues, quite often are resolved by flipping the speakerphone on, then back off. Try that. There's some new audio routing code, which is still under development.

Rootfs = rootfs. RIL = RIL. The RIL is basically the tool that speaks directly to the radio (RIL stands for radio interface layer...)

What do you mean landscape/portrait issue? You mean when the phone boots, it's in landscape mode? Hit the back button. It won't happen again until the next boot. Pretty trivial issue...

If you update your rootfs, you'll get a slightly newer RIL. If you're brave, see this thread. If you can't understand it, leave it alone. Wait for the next build, there's a lot of new stuff.

Ugh. Just like CyanogenMod says, no ETA's. Ever. If I said it'd be out on such a date, and that date goes flying by.. I'd have a lot of stupid posts about why isn't it out yet.

So please, don't ask. It'll be out when it's ready - there's no schedule here, we don't have deadlines here. When it works, and works well is when it'll get released.

Oy, too many problems! Your power issues was no sleeping, and wifi doesn't work at all? There's some tips in the FAQ if wifi never works, or even scans. Certain devices don't get wifi setup correctly for whatever reason.

The RIL tut is above. Beware, it's not easy. If you update to the newest rootfs, you'll get a slightly updated RIL. Definitely the easiest way to update it. Otherwise, there's a lot of 'manual labor' involved.

Thank you. I'll give it a try.

At any rate, for GPS there's fixes in the FAQ. Tethering... it depends on what type, and again that is addressed in the FAQ. I highly recommend you read it.

I have TP2, so guess that will be RHOD ?

I am heading over to FAQs now... also my Froyo crashes time to time for no apparenmt consistent cause. But I still like to keep Android running over WM any day
