[3/6/2010] Google Android for TP2 CDMA [In Dev]

for all those that cannot get wifi to work, what type of security are you using on your network? I was using WEP and I could not connect. Then I turned off security and was able to connect. I then switched to WPA2 and tried that and was able to connect.

Try a bunch of different securities for your home network to find one that works for you.

Not entirely sure this belongs here, but will ask anyway. Going to move to the most current android build on my primary SD card (the one android was on is dying a horrible death). I would like to be able to keep my saves of RoboDefense. Anyone know how to back that up?

Will continue to troubleshoot.

TP2 Sprint....

Is your problem with wifi or connecting to the Sprint cellular network? Mine is with wifi. I can make/receive calls fine. I've never seen that error or the option to select automatically.

The security is not the problem. I've switched my home network between wpa2 and open and there are many other networks in range that are all different (wep, wpa2, etc). My problem is that android cannot scan for networks. It has never found one network. It either reports "unable to scan" or says "scanning" indefinitely or does nothing.

Making calls were fine. Getting to the net was a problem. I removed the SIM from my phone. followed the steps to "select Automatically from the billionth post with specific instructions and immediately got a "registered on the network" message. Opened the browser, but no internet connection. Changed my WIFI network from WEP to No Security, for testing. Still not picking up my wireless router SSID.

The "select automatically" option is for connecting to a cellular network. Once you connect to that, all you will be able to do is make/receive phone calls as the cellular data connection hasn't been figured out yet.

However, the second part you said is the problem I'm having. My android TP2 isn't picking up any wireless routers and I've tried in multiple different locations. Do you see any networks or just not yours (assuming there are other networks in range)?

I was thinking about trying out the GSM version of android for TP2. I know its probably the same wifi driver/settings but I thought I'd give it a shot. Will running the GSM version cause damage to my CDMA phone? Honestly, I'd rather have a data connection than the ability to make/receive phone calls.

Has anyone found any kind of workaround to get the market working, or are we waiting for a new release to hopefully fix the problem?

I went back a few pages but saw no reference to market at all, don't have the time this morning to slog through 20+ pages=P

Try totally cleaning off and reformatting your card to fat32, install android, and before you boot up reboot your phone, start wifi in winmo, make sure it can connect there, and leave it connected. That gives proof of concept, then boot android, and see if it see's the network.

and fyi, no a gsm version can not do damage to your phone.

No fix yet, and at this time don't bother with market enabler, it is meant for a different issue then what we currently have.

No. Market does not work yet. Nor does data.

As an FYI...it takes less time to do a search than slog through 20 pages.

Also, depending on how fast you type...it also may take less time searching then posting a question that has been asked so many times.

Time wise that one is kinda iffy, unless you can find the absolute latest posts on it, you still might be left wondering if someone found a solution and you just missed it or search missed it... I do understand the asking of the question.

Check out the following link
http://www.androidonhtc.com/rhodium/port_status

It's pretty up to date.
The status of the items is for both GSM and CDMA, but most items mention if they don't work with CDMA
