I see your Carrier is T-Mobile .... if that is what you are trying to use .... you are using the wrong build. Pippy made this work for CDMA .... you may want to take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997 if you are in fact using T-Mobile.

OK guys. I just tried this again, and this time, I ran my battery down to 90% before booting Android. I then plugged in my usb cord, and ran Haret. IN android, I ran the phone HARD for about an hour with web pages, media streams and anything else I could get to work. Upon booting back into windows, Batt says 100%. This is my phone. I am not crazy. :headbang:

EDIT: Another way to see this. Load up android and then unplug your cable. The battery monitor should be running showing you "100" in the top right corner. Go ahead and slide the top taskbar down to see "Advanced Task Killer and the Battry Monitor. The voltage should be right there. Unplug your phone for a few mins. The voltage will drop. Give it a few mins to get down a bit. Now turn your screen back on. The voltage will be much lower. (mine started at appx. 4.8v and dropped to about 4.3 before I plugged it in) Now go ahead and pop that cable back in. after about 30 seconds the voltage will begin to go back up until it reaches 4.8v again.

I'm posting this because it takes less time and still shows the same outcome. She's charging. Not huge, but closer nonetheless.

Sounds good ..... I as well had my device at 100% in WM, booted into android and unplugged my power cord ran for about 30 minutes, plugged in cord and let charge for about 12-20 rebooted into WM now at 90%. I am not sure what can tell from my results but your results sound good. I am glad we are finally getting some form of power management.

commit 7be0a6588fd3ca1e025b09cde120afaeeaf942da
Author: HUSSON Pierre-Hugues
Date: Sun Mar 14 12:39:29 2010 +0100

Add rhodium proximity driver.
As there is no proper API for on/off yet,
I added two cmdline options:
board-htcrhodium-proximity.on=1 to enable the proximity device (default off)
board-htcrhodium-proximity.wake=1 to wake up the phone on proximity
change.
Might need a to-low/to-high filter.

__ Wondering if the above statement taken from the kernel autobuild site means that if I add that line to my set cmdline it might make the proximity sensor work... Anyone have any thoughts on this? Will test and update...

Nope..Don't go and do that. :)

Reading it again I believe the author added the options but is awaiting the driver to be added/written.

Be careful about build msm-android@20100316_102354. See the notes before downloading. IRC log shows it for the diamond. Audio jack does not apply to us, and the screen is under increased sensitivity again. Lots of double taps. Can't even move icons on screen.

Just an FYI in case someone else downloads it and comes to complain. You can still try it to see if anything is different for you. Just keep a backup of your old zimage and modules.

Sort of like your statement above.....eh?

You have enough posts in this forum to know what it is about.......even though you may have missed it you still could have at least read a few pages back....sure you would have seen something about sound...seeing that it is mentioned daily...so instead of getting mad just read a little more next time....

So, when you are all done bickering about reading posts and searching, can someone tell me if sound works yet? lol

And please don't tell me to go back to page 1 as I have no intention of hitting my back key for 129 pages......

Also, be sure you have cleared out any old files left over from the previous versions you have had installed. If you don't get rid of your data files, then it may not initialize android properly with the newest release.


still dont work i have no web icon....no 3g , no ev,no E and not even 1x .....this sucks started over from scratch and still nothing can some one copy the files off of there sd card and e-mail them to me maybe i didnt put it together right....also i have no sim card in the phone.....do you have to set up apn for sprint or is that for gsm cuz a gsm user told me thats probally the problem. www.slcmccollum at aol.com

When scrolling, does everyone have the issue of accidently clicking things when you want to scroll? I think that is what bugs me the most as it just takes to long to do something as I need to click back everytime I accidently click something......

Are you sure you don't have the files in a folder on your SD card? I tried putting mine in a folder on a fresh install and everything loaded, but I had no data or calling. Putting it all back on the root of the sd card and using the startup.txt posted in the first post of this thread got me back up. Sound legitimate?

This will be fixed soon, there is a patch out there just has to be tested a little more. Be patient. Soon enough the touchscreen should work lots better.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if that had to do with the actual touchscreen settings or it was due to the lag in Android.......Or is the lag we see mostly due to the touchscreen issues?

I have found that the first time you launch Android, the wireless radio does not always work. Try rebooting the phone and launching Android again and see if it works better. I do not have Sprint, but I do not believe you need to setup APN.

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 
I had a different outcome. My phone was at 91% in WinMo and I booted up the latest build of android. Checked the battery monitor and voltage was around 4.5, left it for a while, nothing changed. Then I plugged in the phone to my computer and the orange LED came on, just like it does when in WinMo, but the voltage never changed. Rebooted back into WinMo after 2 hours and the battery was at 72%.

No charging for me from computer, havent tried the wall charger which would provide a little more power yet, that will be next.

I tried a similar experiment with the wall charger. I burned battery in WinMo all the way down. Then I plugged the phone in until winmo reported 10% battery life.

Booted into Android with phone plugged in. Checked back two hours later to find phone off and battery dead.

Note: I did move the phone from one wall charger to another after booting into Android. If the OP is actually getting a charge perhaps it must be started in winmo and maintained?

Yesterday, I was running wm and had a few battery intensive operations going: pandora on pause, slacker, opera 9.7 and lots of sms. Plugged my phone into a car charger and got an error message that said something like the power source wasnt enough to mantain a charge. If android is a battery drain currently I could see usb/car charging not being enough to keep the phone charged. If this is working wall charger is probably the way to go. Also, like sfxc said, starting in WM might be the trick.

On a side note: I dont know is this is really the case but I get the feeling that at least part of WM is running when we're in Android. It seems like when I restart my phone and the dual boot screen comes up, if I click to start windows it loads incredibly fast. Its as if windows is already loading in the background. Does running Haret shut down all processes on the WM side? Could it be that some processes are still functional, e.g. battery charging?

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 
I think that when you use that Dual Boot Cab it still loads into windows before launching the screen to choose windows or Android. That is why allot of us are just making a short cut in the start menu to launch haret. I have the cab that installs haret with the android guy and made a short cut to the start menu and then just placed it in the top short cut links in Sense 2.5.

Last night my spare battery had a charge of 40% in winmo. I launched android and then plugged in my phone. I left it plugged in all night and by morning I had a full charge.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm using 95 civic's build 3-6-10,

slow4g63 03-16-2010 02:44 PM

Re: Android/Linux for CDMA Touch Pro 2
 
mine always says 100% in android from the build I installed yesterday.
no biggie though, I'm going to be patient and wait until the sound is worked out and start messing with it again.

I wonder what they mean by "audio" on the port status page when we all know it does not work: http://www.androidonhtc.com/wiki/Port_Status

Just noticed under the Rhodium CDMA section it says "yes"

Not trying to start a fire or anything, just hoping for accurate updates.

I had that issue when I tried to keep my data from a 95civic build. I did a clean install and it got rid of the issue.

You can use any kernel, but be advised that those kernels are for a whole bunch of phones (blackstone, raphael, diamond, rhodium, etc..) So you can use any of the kernels, but sometimes (for example) when they're working on a fix for the Rhodium they end up breaking something for the Diamond etc... Just keep an eye on the changelogs to see if a newer kernel has any benefit for you.

That was the long answer :)

The short answer is you can use any kernel from that site :thumbleft:
