I am using incubus' super froyo rls 12, but I have a couple of problems;
Over 3g the only thing that makes connection is the opera mini browser. In all the other apps; like browser, youtube and android market, I get the message that there is no data connection.
I also can't get gps to function in the google navigation app
And the last problem is the inabbellity of google maps and all the other apps, like the weather app of yr.no, to get a fix on my location...
Lastest NBH
Try to use the latest NBH and try to change the SD card.
Maybe ...
Are you using HaRET or are you flashing a kernel to NAND?
i am using haret

Any help on the matter would appreciated on this. I've searched through the forums for answers, but most are older responses to the problems I'm having and I don't want to follow them in case I cause more of a problem.
I Just installed Android on my TyTN II, and the WiFi, Camera and USB Sync do not work.
1 - When I try to enable Wifi it just goes "unable to start Wi-Fi
2 - When I try to run the Camera Application that came with install I downloaded I get error "The applicationCamera (Process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
3 - When I try to connect my phone to my PC (Windows 7) it connects fine and I get a notification for USB Debugging and USB connected. When I click on USB Connected it asks me to mount the SD card, but all it does is unmounts it. Then for Android to see it again I'm force to reboot, as I can't mount it again through settings.
I've installed:
Kernel - kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh
OS - Myn's Warm Donut RLS5 (for Kaiser only).zip (which includes all updates)
Radio - 1.70.19.09
HardSPL - 3.56
Now this is my first install of Android on my TyTN II, and the process all went smoothly, except for these problems I have when running Android.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I tried reinstalling everything two times, and I also tried removing the battery, draining the device and putting it back and powering on. However I'm still having the same problems. Also I'm continuing to read through the forums for an answer. I figured I'd post this anyways as there is more of a chance someone will be able to point me in the right direction before I find the answer
Thanks

OK first you are using Kernel 2.6.32, so you need the wifi modules (wlan.ko - wifi driver) compiled for this kernel. Myns Warm Donut does include drivers for 2.6.25.
here you can find a update that you can install to get wifi working. (its for froyo but should also work with donut)

You are using a froyo kernel on a donut system. For a working camera you need to edit this kernel with nbh editor or with hexeditor:
set the value hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0

at the moment there is no way to sync your phone via USB you need a googlemail account
Btw why you want to use donut. Froyo and Eclair are also stable, fast and have some useful functions.
First thank you for the quick reply

OK with these two points in mind. Would it be better/more stable for me to just use a kernel designed for the Donut system instead of editing the NBH and install drivers?
So you know I used the Kernel that I installed because in the How-To it said you take the latest Kernel. In future how can I know which kernel is for the correct release?

I used Myn's Donut release because again in the How-To it said WiFi, BT, Camera etc are working in it. But then of course I goofed and installed the wrong kernel
With your help here I have a better understanding of it all now and will try what you said, and also experiment with other Kernel's and releases to find what I like best.
FatMutha
Lol, beat me to it .
Since it was noted that I was using a Froyo Kernel on Donut system... from the list of kernel's that can be downloaded here on DZo's Site All recent kernel's in the last month or so are Froyo. Where can I find a recent Kernel for Myn's Donut release?
Also as noted I don't want to sync via USB, I just want to be able to access the SD via USB.
And last is there a place where I can find all builds, Eclair, Donut, Myn's.Froyo etc? or will I need to dig through the foums as the How-To only lists Incubus and Myn.
Also I went to edit my NBH file ( I use Windows NBH Editor) for the camera to change hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0, but I don;t see that option anywhere. Am I using an outdate NBH editor?

in fact there the actual kernels are for froyo. But by editing the kernel with hexeditor or nbh editor you can also use them with donut. The value 'hw3d.version' indicates if it is used for eclair/froyo (1) or donut (0). If you use a hexeditor for the manipulation you have to look for this value. If you are using loserskaters nbh-editor you can directly change to eclair, froyo or donut.

I don't know if it is actual working with windows i because i am using linux on my machine. For reading and writing to the sdcard I have to set 'Start recovery' in the boot (install-) menu on the phone (need a reboot), otherwise it won't work.

Good new on this as well. I rebooted and from boot menu I set the start recovery and sure enough it works. I'm able to connect my phone to my windows PC and access the SD card
Toasty I would just like to say thank very very much... with your quick and courteous answers you saved me a lot of headaches and time in trying to get these items working and searching the forums for answers.
One last question I have that maybe you can answer. I had all my contacts in WinMo..I used pimbackup to back them up regularly, now before I moved to Android I saw that there doesn;t seem to be pimbackup for Android. I searched google for ways to migrate contacts from winmo to android and I found Sprite Migrate. I was able to backup everything fine, however right now I'm having problems restoring the application keeps crashing on me.
Do you know of any program that will all for easy migration of contacts from winmo to android. I'll move back to winmo on a temp basis if needed to get my contacts in android.

If you have stored your contacts in Outlook so the easiest way is to export them in a CSV-File. Then you open the googlemail web-interface from your windows machine. On the left side is a button named contacts. It contains a submenu to import Contacts from CSV-File.
After you have imported them to your google account, you can sync them to your phone.
If you want to get your contacts to Outlook you can also export them from google in a CSV-File

Problem is I don't have Outlook. I have the windows live mail that comes wtih live essentials, but windows mobile center in windows 7 doesn't sync contacts to that. It can only sync to Outlook. Which is why I found the the program sprite migrate.
Prior to me switching to Android I was never able to sync my contacts to my computer, which is why I used pimbackup. Whenever I changed Winmo ROM's i used pimbackup to restore my contacts to my phone.
I'm also wondering if enabling the start recovery in the boot menu might be causing this. Is there a way to disable this once its been added? I tried going back to boot menu and running the option again to disable it, but it just started the process again.
Also I just tested Bluetooth for the first time driving home.. it works in the sense it finds and pairs with my device (in this case my GPS in the car), however my voice according to the other end sounds like a muffled robot.
Also I noticed when I checking info about the version of Android I installed and it says firmware version 1.6.
Now I see through various forum posts that there is android 2.1 working on Kaiser... Am I running a later version because of the Kernel or does it have to do with myn's build I downloaded?
When I followed the How-To on installing android I followed the links provided for kernel and android builds and downloaded those I thought were latest versions.
I'm reading through the forums on seeing different release's of andoird, but how do I know which is the latest build/firmware?

Yes thats correct! YOU are using a donut build (Android 1.6) the newer builds are eclair (Android 2.1) und froyo (Android 2.2). All have nearly the same functions. For a long time donut (imho especialy myns) was the most stable release. But actualy the new froyo (2.2) releases are well optimized for our devices and are fast and stable.

Are you sure you didn't select the wrong option in the boot menu?
When installing the WiFi update you need to select Install Update, then fix permissions. If your phone got wiped chances are you selected Install System.
When I ran the update it fixed my WiFi issues right aways. Also today I installed Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] [9/3/10] and everything worked right from the get go.
The only problem I'm still having is with sprite migrate it can't seem to open the backup of my contacts I made from WinMo.
Right now I'm going revert back to WinMo do a backup again with sprite but also backup contacts to text with PimBackup import to google then sunc with Android as a precaution. Sprite Backup is supposed to make migrating from WinMo to Andoird easy, I read where people have used it without problems but for me its not working, which leads me to believe I probably had a corrupted backup.

Yea thanks for that advice.
No I'm sure I chose Update.. After it "updated" it would wipe the phone everytime I turned it off..
I finally just started over since it already ****ed my data anyway.
Working fine now.
You are using a froyo kernel on a donut system. For a working camera you need to edit this kernel with nbh editor or with hexeditor:
set the value hw3d.version=1 to hw3d.version=0
I'm running a Eclair kernel on a EClair system with the same error, any idea what can be done to fix it?
hw3d.version=1
I'm running this using HaRET. PolyMod 2.1D is the version of Android I'm running off. (Camera works fine if I install kernel and system to NAND directly)
I am unable to install apps from the market. I can access the market and select the apps but all I get is starting downloads which doesn't change even if I leave for hours. I have WI-FI enabled and can access the web with no problems. Here is what I have tried already.
Clear Data in Downloader,
Clear Data and Cache in market
Factory reset
Flashed to CyanogenMod 7
and I still cannot download any apps.
If you have s-off you could try deleting the market.apk file and then reinstalling from a non market source? If you search xda I'm sure I remember several threads about this.
I had this problem a few times. Have you recently changed your Gmail (If you use Gmail) address from @googlemail to @gmail? This is what caused the problem for me and many others...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I never did work out what was causing the problem. I installed CyanogenMod 7 and all is work again.
Yea, sometimes just a reflash fixes the problem. I also found that, sometimes, the download would just finish but never actually install - almost as if the .apk downloaded but the Market Process just never actioned the new .apk to open, so it just sat in /cache until the next reboot, doing nothing.
log in to google talk...i think that should solve the issue.
I decided to try some new ROM, and decided for villain 2.7. I used 2.2 until yesterday. It installed fine but there are plenty of things that are not there where they should be. Am I missing something?
For example, the navigation feature. It is not there. No google maps.
I tried Oxygen (I did Not installed it before) and i suddenly get apps restored into it.
That does not happen in gingervillain. Stranger, in Oxygen, I get the same, I mean there are a lot of apps that should be there after a fresh install but in one installation out of four I get that "restore" thing and it's ok.
I changed sd card, formatted it, done a dozen flashes with different ROM's but something's wrong. Where should I start? How am I supposed to do a fresh install of 2.7?
Thanks
There is no GMaps in GV 2.7.
As for clean install - wipe everything (data/cache/sd-ext/dalvik)
Really? But how am I supposed to use gps if no maps, considering that "Car Home" app is telling me "activity not found" when I try to access navigate.
Is there a misspelling on main thread by richardtrip? Right there in the first pos he says that on 2.7 we have GMaps 5.0. too. I see no ROM manager, no Gtalk, no app2sd
Am I seeing it wrong?
Look
GingerBread 2.3.4 aosp/cm7
*Google Apps (with market)
*OTA update/mod/kernel flash tool (Villain Setup)
*New Gtalk (with video)
*Google maps 5.0 - two finger rotation
*Bluetooth
*Camera
*Apps2SD (Google + Darktremor A2SD+)
*Titanium Backup
*ROM Manager

I have GTalk (named Talk), but no maps (but maybe I deleted it, because I use Sygic Aura Navigation).
However, here you can find GMaps separately :
Gmaps 5.7.0
Edit: I must've had GMaps as default in the ROM - because Street View is still there.
Thanks, I installed what was missing and now I am a happy man.
nope no maps
check the install zip - there is no maps! yes there is street view! but thats not been updated in ages, where as Maps has, and maps is a very large file compared to some.
to get a clean fresh install - wipe everything (as stated in first post.) and make sure it wipes sd-ext... or better yet format the sdcard (some roms require larger than my 512mb partition)
I have been modding this rom alot, as I love it! I have found that there are several things you can remove too, like whats the point of having both quicksearchbox and googlequicksearchbox? infact I could name the 18 apks I remove everytime, but meh you get the picture... that basic idea is that the system partition is so small on cm7r2, that with a2sd (and if u have a good sdcard cache2sd) you should have NO problem with internal memory...
ive been flashing some cm7 nightlies today and finally got on cm7.2. everything is running well, but it just reboots every time apps are loading from sd card.. normally i can use the phone when sd card isnt inserted, i really dont want to wipe it, is there any way to find out what app(it has to be something, because apps stop loading in the menu at some time, and then phone hangs up) is force closing everything?

Hmm... One of the reasons why a custom MTD Partition is needed. Apps on SD won't function like apps on the the internal memory. I have apps on my SD and rarely see FCs. I would advice you check your card if it is error free. Your phone shouldn't hang.
My apps have always worked perfect from SD ext, its probably a corrupt file on your SD card and could be anything not just an app, hook it up to a pc and do a disk check, see if that helps.

^ what app causes all the problems? maybe you guys know which one is this, i know i can still reinstall them, but im running out of time..
I now have a working 4.4.4 on my Wildfire S and I have set the default application install location to 2 (SDCard) and I downloaded the apk of:
com.google.android.apps.maps_V10.11.1.1011100030_Android-44.apk
I then installed from file manager and it all went well
When i opened the map app i get and error either google maps has stopped or that i need to reinstall it
Is it just not possible to run or is there another version or a fix available?
(It is a 32GB SanDisk MicroSD)
Whil I remember also BBC News opened but didn't seem to be able to get a connection - does this no longer work for 4.4.4 Android?

Hello, have you checked APK file if it has libs for ARMv6 architecture?
I will take a look into this in the next few days - than you!
Doesn't look like it does - armv7 in the libs, have tried the version from spec-gapps-4.4.4-basic-v2.6 and various others to no avail, tried setting accuracy for gps only too (Sometimes fixes maps - it did on my 7.1.2 S3 Mini)
Older version 7.7 opens but requires update so that effectively doesn't work either
Is there another map app i can use that might work on armv6 and android 4.4.4 or a version that someone knows that would work?
