Just out of curiosity, am I supposed to have really horrible battery life? I can usually get about 6-8 hours of battery life, then the phone dies. Normally, I can go about 1.5 days via WinMo. What's normal for the android port?

Battery life isn't great with Android. Although the newest update seems to possibly improve it?

That's actually pretty good dude... Have you done ANY reading?!? Not too long ago people were getting 4 hours and were happy.

Yeah I can vouch batt life has ticked up recently... arrrrrrghhh is right, for us long time users we're happy with any and all improvement in this area.

Should we expect the battery live to be not as good as windows mobile since we are running android from the sd card? Reading information from the sd card uses up more power am I correct? How do you expect it to be the same as windows mobile running from the phone's internal memory?

Yes, I dont think it will ever be the same or better than winmo running off the sd card. It might get real close but never the same

I agree with battery improvement, speed improvement, more stable. It works very good. I still have the "can't hear when I dial out" problem sometimes. But that's about it.

I've been asked to point someone that has a HTC Touch in the right direction. Can it be Androided?
What is the general nickname for a Touch? (ie Rhod400 for a TP2 cdma) Is it the Vogue?
Does this this Mod apply to the Touch also?

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [10/04] BATT UPDATES!
 
Haha, I love how the boot text says "Welcome to Vouge Linux" =P I remember back in the day when I was getting the early builds of android working on my Vouge xD

</offtopic>

EDIT:

Actually, this is kinda on topic, to the person above me, if it is the CDMA Touch, then yes, there is Android for the Vouge. They have Full Featured ROMs and it is fully working. I have my Vouge running android as my backup phone =D

Thanks for your response regarding battery life! I think it's pretty amazing that I have Android running on this phone as it is!

Also, are the lights on the buttons supposed to stay lit? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't (if it's on, I usually boot back into Windows and then into Android again.)

will depend on the state of the lights when you boot from winmo. If on when you boot, they'll be on in droid.

Try going to the advanced settings and booting at medium or lower overclock in the Android startup app. Mine wont boot at max.

I'm not OC in WM, using the most recent startup app, OC'ing medium in android, and with latest couple of updates I occasionally get the sleep of death? any ideas? Doing nothing different, just wont wake up.

I've been getting these lately too... seems random, I haven't been able to sort anything out. I just keep blaming the RIL :p

Does it still happen when you don't OC?

Same for me. The phone won't answer when this happens, so I have to stay in crappy WinMob when I'm telecommuting. Really sucks!

LOL I'd say if you depend on your phone at all you'll need to stay in WinMo :p

unistalled the anroid project cab and reinstalled it, when to boot and it just stayes at the linux boot screen with the scrolling text what seems to be forever...I just give up and go back to windows for the time being, but dont understand why with my older TP it did not take that much time to boot into android, but with my TP2, it just hangs and hangs...it does not freeze, but the scrolling just does not seem to stop and I cant make out what its saying.

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [10/04] BATT UPDATES!
 
My rhod500 (verizon - running on gsm network) just hangs during the android boot (I've triple checked that I am not overclocking in windows).

It stops as soon as it says:
1.720001 misc_register(): OK

Only solution is to reboot the device

I've also trying formatting my sd card and doing a fresh install

Any help?

Format your card, try the rar install.

This project has come so far and cant get enough of it. However, I'm still getting the in call issue that others have reported. I'm on the 10/10 update and have seen it for the last few updates after they enabled the adjustment of in call volume. I'll either hear the caller and they cant hear me, or when I try to adjust the volume of the call, the phone will lock up and android will reboot, but the call will stay active through most of the reload of android. This all seems to be random and not on every call, but I can reproduce the issue most of the time by calling into voice mail and change the volume up and down a bunch. Sprint RHOD 400

Thanks again to all the work on this! It's has been fun to watch it grow.

I feel like I have been searching for a while with no luck so I am going to ask. My GPS is not working. I don't even know what to start with so I am hoping that someone would be willing to help me figure this out.

Hey guys. I have been keeping up with this thread for a while now.
I think i have a dumb question however with this newest release. I saw the newest release and read about 25 page after it was released. i saw that Reed was saying to use the update tool. So I did, not when i boot it goes through like normal and when It gets done it set up for about 5 seconds and then reboots. I thought i noticed that i saw people having the same problem but i havent been able to find out ther solution.
Also i usually DL from Reefer's site and tyhe version that he has up is the 9/28. is the only way to get the newest from the update app?

Oh no. Use the autobuild service if you want the newest kernels (zImages/modules) without the update tool.

Do you have GPS enabled in the "Location & security"...?

Hrm, I have the same device and haven't had the issue. Are you overclocked? Running Haret or the update utility? I wonder what the difference between my setup & your setup is...

Well, if you want the newest kernel... grab the newest. If you're having issues with the newest kernel, grab one that's a little bit older ;)

I have been using the newest 10/10 update and am seeing that everytime I try to download something from the marketplace it never fully processes. I know with the new update tool it fixed alot of glithces from previous updates but am not sure what I am doing wrong? I have tried rebooting back into Android after a soft reset with still no luck

Delete (move, rename) your data.img, try again.

Hrm... Which kernel are you using? If you hold your mouse over the download link it should give you a quick rundown of what the changes are.

beathookup 10-12-2010 06:13 PM

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [10/04] BATT UPDATES!
 
@arrrghh - I deleted the data.img and went back into the marketplace and tried downloading another application and got the following error message "The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectledly. Please try again." I continue to try again with no success.

Huh... that's very odd. I haven't heard of anybody else reporting this issue. Is it a free app? Can you reboot now that you've blasted your data.img & try again? For whatever reason that sometimes fixes crap.

I was using the 9/16. I did that and and had a hard time trying to figure out which one was the one i am looking for. I guess i will have to try again and read a little closer.

Patiently must be a relative term here :p

I'm not sure what you mean TBH, they're always pumping out new code... A new package as in what reef builds? Like blazn, reference, etc? He usually puts one of those out once a month.

zImage (kernel) updates seem to be daily, sometimes 2-3x per day.

thx arrghh and ya i was talking about reefs builds but I understand that patients is a virtue. Thx for all your guys hard work i really appreciate. If you devs need a tester for anything you can come to me i will do anything to help the progress of android on our phones.

Use the new startup program and it includes an update feature. There have been new kernal release just not on the sit only through the update utility

bdurst08 10-12-2010 08:19 PM

Re: [CAB] GSM&CDMA Project Android Port and Startup Utility [10/04] BATT UPDATES!
 
Sorry guys another 2 dumb questions. I HR reset my phone and for the life of me can't figure out how to get the boot utility to show back up under my program slist so that I do not have to go into the andboot folder everytime.
Also do i still need to change the cdma value for sprint from 1 to zero?

TIA!!!!!
