1024th useless post of yours!

On topic, I have reported about the charging is working on my TP2 when on android. Now it seems like charging is having problem even if of WM, sometime it works and sometimes it wont. I think I have overcharged it :-(
I have hardreset couple of times, but still having the same issue. It could be the physical connection went bad or the ciruit went bad.. dont know.
Does anybody have the same issue?

I havent tried charging with Android but I do charge alot with the car charger while streaming music making my phone incredibly hot. Recently Ive started having issues with the car charger staying connected. I think its the charger itself though because I havent noticed that problem with the brick.

I do not think this kinda thing should be released here unless you want to monitor every post to see what conflictions this causes. I too am on IRC and I don't spill over what they post in the chat.

Is there a particular reason you don't think it should be posted here? It has been tested by many and is working well. It isn't like I released a kernel that hasn't been tested or that is breaking other items? If you know of a conflict, by all means let us all know. But this is development and it is for everyone to test so that the conflicts can be resolved, how else are they going to know?

On a personal level, I have not liked your posts about me combining all the files together blah blah and putting them one place for people to download. I don't get what your problem is with that but if it helps people, why shoot it down? Download #'s speak for itself and there are hundreds of people being helped by someone putting all this into an easy extraction. Seems kinda stupid to me.

I think you are reading a little too much into my friend. I wasn't putting you down, in fact if you read it, I said it was nice of you to do. But I was making a statement that people should learn to update the kernels themselves. That way if something really great in the kernels does come out that they can do it themselves in case you aren't able to be around that day etc. I personally have a family and a real life and cannot be here 24/7, so I know there would be no way I could update everyone on the latest and greatest everytime a good kernel can come out. So I would want to know how to update it myself in case I didn't want to wait. That was MrPippy's original intentions.

And again, that is great that you provide it for them. Please don't take it any other way, I just made a comment that I didn't agree with it due to it just keeps feeding people and they will never learn to do it on their own because they will just sit and wait for someone to feed it to them. That's ok if that's what they want. But again, they will have to wade through the posts to find updates like that, because I know MrPippy isn't going to come update Post#1 everytime someone posts a new zip.

Enough of it, I normally will not participate in all the flames and politics in here, but you stabbed right at me and felt I needed to set that record straight. I am not at all flaming you, it is a great community here and I think we have come a long way. So please do continue to help out, but I still do feel people should learn to update themselves.

Enjoy

And if you notice, I maintain the FAQ. I talked with MrPippy the day that he created this thread and he went ahead and asked me to maintain that and that way I could keep info updated. I highly doubt MrPippy will come here too often without major updates due to all the drama. He is more concerned about developing and continuing to bring the great advancements to us along with the rest of the developers.

Yes, hopefully you haven't done damage, but the charging circuit hasn't been written, so I don't think there is anything in the phone to tell it to stop charging if it is. So if you are going to do the charging thing while in Android do please make sure you only charge for so long. Don't leave it on overnight. These are Lithium batteries and are known to explode if they get too hot!

Please do. Or just wipe the thread and tell everyone to shut it unless they have a problem or an honest helpful addition. If the children want to play, there are better places suited for it than a friggin' Android development forum

i just tried the wireless tether zImage and rootfs,module file and my tp2 still don't get charged. here how i did it.

After i put all the new files on my mcsd card i noted the battery level on windows mobile (70%) then i plugged it in before i booted into Android. Noticing on the android screen lock still say its charged. Played with it for 2 hours while it still plugged in. Then I reboot it back into windows mobile and the battery meter showed 39% charge level. So i somehow think the charging situation is depend on what ROM you are using. My android charging has never been working since the first day i tried it.

On the side note, my location service is working with the new kernel, rootfs, and module. i enabled WiFi but not connect to any hotspot. then in google map it show my correct location down to a very satisfying level (i tried it this morning when i drive around and it show correct cross street and location). Also on my google homepage it show correct city (orlando) that i am in.

I thought overcharge protection would be done in hardware. That's not something I would trust in the software, no matter how fail proof you try to make it.

agreed with that. i have had several car chargers and brigs went bad on me numerous time so i would try diff charging method first.
