Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [10/04] BATT UPDATES!

So lately my Android has been randomly booting on me. I decided to start with a fresh build, so I did a Quick Format on my SD card and loaded a fresh BLAZN build on there. But when Android loaded up, I couldn't select ringtones, only "Silent" was an option. And several apps wouldn't run (such as the music player) saying that I need an SD card to use that program. I fought with it for a long time, trying full formats, the stock Android build, and so forth, and could NOT get it working right again. Finally I tried the official SD Formatter tool I found in the FAQ post, and I can select ringtones again.

...however the reboots have come back.

Are the reboots a problem with the current Android kernels, or do you think my SD card is going bad? Or do you think a re-flash of my Windows ROM would help with anything? I know some things in Windows can indirectly affect the Android boot.

Any advice is appreciated. It was working perfect for a long time, but doesn't work good anymore..

Can't. Android needs the card to be mounted - as that is where the OS is running off of. USB works for debugging in the newest kernel, but that's about it. You can access the card within Android, since it is mounted...

At first I was just going to say format with the HP tool but it looks like you've already done that & solved your issue with the ringtones. The reboots... do they happen when you do anything in particular? I get random reboots every now and then, usually when I try to use the phone as a phone (of course...)

You may try a different SD card, I'd be curious if that is the cause. Doubtful. Do you install a lot of apps? There's a lot of apps that don't work for one reason or another & can/will cause instability.

With that said, the newest commits need some patches... there were some regressions, and we're still tryin to dig thru exactly what broke

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [10/04] BATT UPDATES!

it seems the new build for android has both the power button and the end call button set as the POWER button for Android. Does anyone know how to change the power button to be the HOME button for Android?

It does seem to happen after certain "events". Having lots of apps installed as it will happen after a completely fresh install (SD format, load BLAZN, perform update, boot). I've noticed it will crash back into Windows sometimes when pulling down the top notification pane. Sometimes when I select a text message it will hang for a second and then crash. But then, sometimes it works fine too. It is always when I'm actually doing something on the phone (pressing the screen). Which makes me wonder if the SD card is involved because maybe its trying to load something, fails, and bails out?

Ran into those problems last night w/ new kernel and zimage, had to reload the 1011 updates and it's back to working normal.

Roaming only option? Can we? I go to settings, Wireless & network, Mobile networks, Network operators. The 2 choices don't give an option to select any other network.

Not sure what you are talking about. Reefer is still here and providing updates. He is just really busy and I'm sure he can't handle all the questions that are being asked. And I don't think we want him too. We want him to focus on the updates. Others like arrghh have been extremely helpful but your comment about him managing this thread now is a bit off base.
