Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro -- Now working on Verizon! And with GPS!

that squeaky ring tone just Fooken killed me!!!! i was trying out the new build playing with it, put it down to drink water when a friend called and i get that ring. i spit water all over my phone and computer

[docnas]

besides that on topic i played with it im with spring initially data wasnt workig ot ito work using the fix mentioned in the first posts and connected to maps and the market BUT whn i tried downloading an app from the market it just wouldnt download it just kept showing the bar and "starting download". ( i wanted to try out tht google goggles app)

I'm going to try and start with a new data file, maybe that'll help my location woes. I think the google voice troubles are caused by the phone looking for a sim card. when I go into cakk settings and then additional settings there's a sim card or network error that I am assuming is involved in the problem.

Goggles won't work till we (they )get the camera working

[docnas]

oh good point i forgot that the camera still doesnt work , this port has progressed to the point i almost take it for granted that most things work. its amazing the work thats been done so far.

[docnas]

but still the camera not working shouldnt get in the way of the app downloading would it??

[Yibrushn]

No It shouldn't. One thing that usually helps is when problems creep up that seem to be unique to you is to start with a new data file. I didn't have wifi working with the latest build so I deleted my data file and started fresh and it works perfectly now.

[arrrghhh]

No you should be able to dl apps just fine...

I downloaded like 15 apps yesterday, without a problem. Have you tried doing it over wifi? I was doing it over my sprint cxn, but maybe your provider is blocking it somehow...

It may be good to note that I had the same issues with the Market until the 2/8 build...

Donut is 1.6, as mentioned. Grab it from the links on the Raphael Donut wiki page. It used to be much less stable than eclair, but with most of the massive smd bugs squashed, it might actually run better than eclair now. I'd be curious to hear people's experiences with it. You'll have to grab the kernel and modules and startup.txt from the package in post #1 here... and some things might just be wrong, because everything we've been doing lately has beene expecting eclair.

GV has just worked for me without any tweaking. I don't know why it's been weird for others. It does dial a weird number, which then redirects my calls. But it's all transparent, and as long as I have a data connection, the calls dial and go through just fine.

I've noticed occasionally when calling and then booting, the speaker doesn't hang up (?) correctly, and then I get no sound. It's just not that stable. I think when I don't make a call first, it always works, so it'd be an added benefit to getting that bug worked out.

adb only works if you're connected to the computer when you boot to android. And sometimes after that you need to disconnect and reconnect before it'll work. And droid explorer will die and need to be restarted sometimes. Not super clean.

I don't think I've ever had network-based location work on my phone. Possibly once. Usually just hangs and waits and tries and fails. As far as making wifi work, a new data.img is the easy way, but you could also just go to a terminal and delete the /data/wifi-calibration file and then reboot (making sure, at this point, to use the rootfs from my package, and not from the original xdandroid, which is what caused the problem). Probably doesn't matter for anyone at this point, but I thought I might as well put it out there for the curious.

Thanks makkonen you are really staying on top of everything!
