my roommate's got the droid and ive been messing around with it...it's significantly smoother and less buggy than what we've got...do you think we're gonna be able to run android as smoothly if not smoother than current android phones?

As smooth... not right away. Less buggy? I dunno. Good chance.

To be honest with you, although google and android have been working with htc.. know the hardware in and out already. I would bet it would be as close as possible to being good or better.

Just like them the developers probably have a release schedule or cycle of some kind going already. Though MrPippy and others busting in and kicking butt just pushed things to where they should.

The biggest issue is this phone was made with windows in mind. There could be that they need to write the firmware to run the sound chips or anything else. Much of those are modules and known through other phones. As mentioned before our phones have some different hardware. For better or worse just means more work.

I think overall it can be better than say the Droid. Droid Eris? I dunno. I know it will probably be on par with other HTC phones. The thing I think of is Verizon or Sprint or other carrier nitpicking over things that make other features lack. Look at the Blackberry Storm in the beginning, pushed to make the phone got it working and sold it with the missing touches on the rom.

Ultimately what stays functional or gets worked on is in the hands of the community. Quality will get there little by little but as you can see... already built in from the start as a reliable os (as long as you ignore what isn't working which is less than half the entire list).

Now that wasn't very nice!!! :mrgreen: How many questions have I answered? Anyone else try it? I haven't seen anyone say anything about it since I posted that. Yea I ran Android while plugged in, and yea my battery was still up afterwards. Still doing it now and it was on all night. Run it, wait a few hours, unplug the cable and reboot the phone. Betcha your battery's still full. Latest kernel I happened to notice it. (from march 14th) Haven't played with the one from the 16th yet.

Hey, Im taking your word for it. I havent personally tried it because I cant see myself (at this point) having Android up and running for hours at a time. There just isnt anything to do on it and I love listening to music through my phone. So im not going to doubt what you said just because it hasnt been widely reported yet.

Some users have had to go in and establish their mobile network, you might try that. Goto the Home screen, hit the Menu button, select Settings, then Wireless & network settings, then Mobile networks, and then Network operators. Once that screen comes up, choose Select automatically. If it doesn't say Registered on network, press it again. Once that is done, you can go back to the home screen and try Market again, if it still doesn't work after doing that, try shutting down and rebooting back into WM and then boot back to Android.

Edit, only other thing I can think of is maybe something hosed in your Account, go back into settings and select Accounts and sync settings. if you see your gmail one, go ahead and remove it by tapping it and selecting remove. And then try re-adding it.

i can browse the web/internet just fine in 3g. i get the error message in the apps store "the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. please try again." each and every time i try to download anything.

any ideas?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

Understood. Mazzakre, I've never seen you intentionally stire a fire in anyones thread. No issues here either bro. Now that it's out there, we'll see what reports say. I'm sure it'll take some time. For Ruscho to just out with sayin I'm ignorant about Android... that wasn't the coolest thing I've seen all night. Can someone else run android for a few hours plugged in and see what the battery reads in WinMo afterward? I know i'm not the only one here that stays up all night with nothing to do. :mrgreen:

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

I'm sure its been answered but where can I find either aHome or openhome to use on my TP2? Or will either even boot?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

no help still have no web whats the deal might as well ditch the phone

I had my battery charging in WM it was at 100% I boot into Android and run it for about 30-45 minutes and then reboot back into WM with the Charging cable never coming out and I am now at 100% still. I am going to try a few other test to see what is going on and try and see if it is running off power cord or actually charging in android finally.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2

This is a CDMA Android Build ....... So that would mean I am running CDMA which is also stated in my signature and profile
