Ok guys, I totally agree with both of you. I normally do my research but I kind of gotten too eager to even find the correct answer. I know it's just common sense to do a search. That's why about the wifi thing, I did see some things on how to fix it but did not understand it. That's why I had to ask you guys. Another thing was I appologize for acting coocoo inboxing too much. That was very silly. But the update on my tp2 on Android, I decided to keep the frx07.1 because I don't like the light thing staying on. I will be downloading the ConnectBot like I am doing now, not realizing I didn't read the very last end of Arrrgggh's post he told me before, because I thought it was part of his signature or something. I already put wifi ace on there and it's not doing anything. I will do the terminal thing and this should work. Will keep you guys posted. Thanks so much guys for being such a help. :)

Wifi ace is for WEP - which if you have any choice in the matter, don't use it. It's very insecure, easily cracked...

Also, if wifi worked before, you shouldn't need the wifi-nvram trick either. What is the problem exactly? I don't think I've seen any logs from the failure... I wonder if it's a simple module mismatch.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

Well the problem was everytime I turn on wifi and when I go to set up, it says 'unable to scan'. I did go to the ConnectBot that I installed, and did the following step:

Open a terminal window, and type:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
find /lib/modules/ -type l -delete

Then reboot. The modules will be unpacked on next boot.

I had to find my server which was thescotts7@xx.xxx.xx.xx:22 but I couldn't do it as ssh, but as a local host. After I did the reboot, nothing happens, the same old thing. Then, I found another step, which I downloaded the wifi-nvram.txt file and added my MAC address in the macaddr line, renamed the file to wifi-nvram and added it into my sdcard as: sdcard/andbootfrx07.1/ of my card. So I did follow the following steps:

su
cp /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt

After doing that, I get:

Cp: cannot stat ' /sdcard/wifi-nvram.txt': No such file or directory

I tried: /sdcard/andbootfrx07.1/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt (hoping it would work)
It didn't do anything. Does it mean it worked?

Update! After doing the /sdcard/andbootfrx07.1/wifi-nvram.txt /data/wifi-nvram.txt
I turned on wifi and the next thing you know, I saw my connection! Thanks so much for everything you guys do! I finally fixed it. :)

My SD card just got wiped again after i let the battery completely die. I think there may be something wrong with my SD card.

There has to be something wrong with it, I've only had this happen once with a crappy 1 gig that came with my old BB8330. Just get a sandisk 8 gig and format to fat32 you shouldn't have issues then...avoid killing your battery and back up with Titanium backup.

OK, after doing a unsuccessfully searching on the site for guidance on how to get Bluetooth working in FRX07.1, I thought I'd ask for help - if there's a FAQ or guide I should reference, please point me in the right direction - I'm happy to read for myself if it's available!

What I'm seeing is when I attempt to enable Bluetooth on my RHOD500 running 7.1, the Bluetooth turns on momentarily, then turns itself back off. Then back on. And the cycle will continue as long as I'm willing to allow it to run. I checked to make sure that Bluetooth was working correctly in WinMo (it is), so I don't think it's a hardware issue. Any suggestions?

TIA,
Gremlin

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

BT must be off in WinMo for BT to work in Android.

However, BT doesn't work so well yet in Android. It's flaky at best.

i have looked in the forums. read about 70% of this thread. and searched. the issue i am having is this, i cant recive calls or download mms messages. i havnt tried sending them. i can make call send and recive sms messages and surf the web. im on uscc if that makes a difference. otherwise, or aleast what i can tell, everything seems to be working pretty good. thanks for the help.

I would make sure you're on the 2.37 VZ radio. See the radio thread.

As for MMS, you have to configure your APN for your provider.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

i did try to input the uscc apn settings. it wouldnt save. any ideas? as for the radio is that a verizon radio? will it work on us cellular?

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

I'd say it'll work on any RHOD400/500. Works on my Sprint RHOD400, which isn't even sold by VZ - they sell the 500.

If the APN doesn't save, you're not entering the correct settings.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

i got the apn setting set up. as for the radio, the one i found on here looks like it will completely change out the rom and radio. i have updated the radio before and it just like which radio is to be updated. but this one has a completely different image than just the radio. can you point me in the right direction? thanks.

I put up 2.37 at the end.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

ok now does the update utility just update the radio or is it a full rom? usally when i flash the radio it tells me what radio is going to be updated, ie 2.23.00, 2.32.00. the ruu gives a completly different number than 2.37.00.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

I always flash via SD. I can tell you the link I provided is only for the radio, no ROM.

I tried to program the contacts with phone card's access number, PIN and found that DTMF sending was not working. An example, try to dial *2,,,,,,,,1 or *2,,,,,,,,your_10_digit_number if you are with Sprint, you'll notice the IVR does not recognize the DTMF sent by the phone. However, if you press the button on the sreen to send DTMF manually, it works.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

ok thanks. i tried to flash from the sd. but it wouldnt. goes to bootloader and thats it. i did check the flash from sd thread on how to do it. still and nogo on flashing from sd.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

Other than formatting the card to FAT32, I've never had a problem flashing from SD.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

i just get stuck in bootloader. doesnt do any once there. my card is formated right, so who knows. i havnt found the answer yet.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

got the radio updated, still cant recive calls. any ideas?

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

a) you're booting Android with WinMo in Airplane Mode, yes?

b) you've verified (in Android or WinMo) that you are indeed on radio 2.37WV?

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

2.37WV sucks. You want to install radio 2.32WF. It handles roaming a lot better in places where their a weak but unusable non-roaming signal. I would never switch back to 2.37.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

You're literally the first person who has said 2.37 sucks. Every single other person has said 2.37 fixes a lot of issues, and it has for me as well...

Soooo ok? I'm going to stick with what works for me, you stick to what works for you. 2.37WV works much better than 2.32. Perhaps you just need a PRL update dude...

Seriously read thru the OMGB thread and see how many people have praised 2.37... It's outrageous.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

no i havnt been boot android in airplane mode. guess the might be the trick then. and yes i did get the radio flashed to 2.37wv. went back and flashed 2.32wu back on. hell i have been running on 2.23wu with out a problem for a while. i run att go phone when in certain areas but realy dont need to. uscc has been service in those areas anyway. ill give airplane mode a chance. cut me some slack i have been deployed for the last year and i am a little out of date on things.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

Another finding. Wifi does not work or barely works when the screen is off though wifi is set to never sleep. As soon as the screen turns on, wifi packets immediate goes through. It seems the wifi is in some sleep or low power mode when the screen is off though wifi connection is alive. On latest kernel and rootfs.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

Yup, well known bug. There's even a bug on the tracker - just no one has looked into it specifically (or at least extensively). Feel free to poke around with what's going wrong, it's certainly a bug.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

Certainly.

We'd truly be nowhere without enterprising developers like ACL who has for the most part been working solo on getting the tricky part of flashing Android natively working well. Hats off to him, and the countless other developers like him - I can't even begin to think about how much actual time these guys have put cumulatively over the years into this project.

So long as they keep going, this project will always continue to improve. The dedication is incredible!

Something I think is not mentioned much and should be is if you use the Android ports, its common courtesy to donate to [ACL] and arrrghhh isn't going to complain but he's pretty modest and deserves donations too.

Anyone ever have problems with the gsensor going wacky and portrait and landscape moving over one turn? Straight up is now left landscape , left turn on side is now portrait and upside down is right landscape. Works like its supposed to after a reboot then after a little while goes back to this, just started today and it's pissing me off immensely.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

Hrm, never heard of this myself. Usually the g-sensor settings are always off which typically means the startup.txt values are wrong... But if they work correctly at first and then go wacky, I don't know.

Did you install some app recently that might be messing with the g-sensor? Any other changes recently? Update rootfs/zImage/etc?

Perhaps rename your data.img to data.bak and let it create a new one on boot. Run for a while, see if it happens again. Then reinstall apps one-by-one, see if there's one in particular that causes it.

Only app I've added lately was dolphin browser on your recommendation. :P I think it may be dolphin since right before it started happening the app kept going through the beginning setup...that kind of made wonder. I'll uninstall dolphin and if that doesn't help I'll try creating a new data.img. Also my email has been FC like crazy today as well.

Re: Simple Guide 11/11 Android on SD card! 4 Easy Steps (15 min): TP2 DL lnks (FRX07
 

Hrm, might just be some general data.img corruption. Suck. I've been getting FC's on some framework for gapps, been driving me nuts. Gonna try to run fix-permissions.sh (from Cyanogen) but it doesn't always fix it.

Which Dolphin, HD or Mini? Not sure it would matter, but I use Mini. Works great, certainly doesn't cause my g-sensor to go wonky :p.

I'm using mini, loved the thing but now that I've uninstalled I'm pretty sure it was the culprit. Dude I wanna try either of the NAND builds but I gotta wait till you guys work out the last few bugs and get my laptop back. I just don't want to be "one of those guys" without the ability to pull logs and test. :)
Edit- also is [ACL] mad at me or something? I sent him 2 pm's with no reply.

lol, I have no clue if ACL's mad at you... I doubt it, he probably just ignores PM's on here :p. He was getting flooded for a while there, I think he just got overwhelmed. Might've even turned 'em off I don't know.

Either way that's strange about Dolphin. I use it every day... Hrm. There's other browsers, just odd. There was some boat browser I heard about? Sounded pretty sweet. We'll see what Chrome will bring, hopefully we can run it!

Chrome you say? My wife has it on her computer and loves it but then anything is better than IE. Ok I just figured I would ask... no worries it was just to tell him I'll be donating again soon.
Edit- oh and to tell him about MDU, you should check it out too.
Holy FC on my fargin email....may have to reinstall from TB.
Strange....uninstalled dolphin mini and rebooted everything working fine now but went to browser icon and dolphin mini pops up....maybe I somehow installed it multiple times...dunno.

Yea, Google evidently is going to release Chrome for Android. Sounds promising :).

As for your other problems, fix-permissions.sh, or new data.img. Sounds like corruption for sure.

Yeah its still acting up, pretty sure you're right, I'll just create a new data.img since this one is older than FRX07. I'll just use TB once it settles for my apps, thanks for the help bro!
