Quick Questions

Hi, I just recently purchased my Hermes, I have the ATT 8525 and I already upgraded to WM6 (I used the official one offered from HTC) and I have been reading everything on this site, it has everything for the phone! I just have a couple quick questions, I didn't purchase a data plan yet and have been using WiFi at all times that is possible and trying to stay away from the 3G until I get the unlimited data. Here is my first questions:
If the screen just shows the little WiFi antenna and not the 3G, does that mean I'm only using WiFi to access the internet via IE or could it still be using the 3G?
I haven't installed the "NoData" application yet and was just wondering if I really need to as long as I make sure I'm connected to WiFi and not use the data options while i'm away from WiFi.
My Second Question:
When I get my MicroSD card, will this allow me to install applications to it or how does that work? Is it only for storage of media that can be acceseed by the phone or can I download a CAB to it and install things to the OS from the SD card?
I have to say the forums here as well as the Wiki offer a lot of help and I want to thank all of you and I hope to be more active in the boards.
Cheers

1. I would still install the no data cab, just to be on the safe side. I haven't got my Rogers bill yet since I switched to the 8525, so I'm not sure if I've connected with 3G, but better safe then sorry.
2. Most apps can be installed on the card, some more crucial apps, like Today plugins, some SPB apps, ect can't be, if your not sure use the advanced google search and you'll probably find the answer...

Android Wifi Tether? -internet -

So i've installed the said addon, including files and i can connect to "android tether" and phone vibrates etc... However it says local access only on the pc, i can't get internet. Does anyone have any tips on what i may be doing wrong? Should i not update to the newest files if i am going to run tether or is it all compatible now? I've tried both ways with no luck, i must be doing something wrong...
Touch pro 2, Sprint
I only now make a thread because i've asked a bunch and no answers in the mega thread

You might not be getting any answers because this is the TP1 sub-fora. There's a whole section for the TP2 dude.
Not sure what the status of tethering on the TP2 is, but I recommend you go over there!!!!

I actually got it working, with an aosp version. man seems faster than regular windows. now if only it didn't break all internet when i try to reset my data ;p

2.2 do not support Chinese？
and will it？

Mine is Diamond，where I can find a lite rom for android.

232603 are you talking about the language support? wouldn't see any reason it wouldn't be supported in the future if it isn't already.
as for a literom, are you gsm or cdma? are you looking for a rom to boot android or dualboot android and winmo?

We haven't built it in. I'm sure we have it in the source though. once the builds start getting more stable i'll start adding those in. For now we just fixing bugs.

Bypass Google Accounts? Or alternatively set it up over a wireless network.
Howdy,
I have been watching the Android development for the Fuze with quite some interest for a while now, and it has made leaps and bounds over the past several months to the point where I decided to try it out.
It successfully booted into Android; however, I have data access to my phone disabled. This seems to cause the Google accounts set up to fail and causes some sort of infinite loop where it keeps asking to set up my account
Is there A) any way to bypass the Google Account set up and set it up later or B) jump on a wireless network (or alternatively jump to shell)?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

We've removed the SetupWizard and default provision so no more setup loop.

I don't know why I hit it, but I rebooted the phone and it was gone.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, i've been using xandroid since last month and everything is running OK except the battery is draining and charging quickly (1-2 hours) which is pretty unusual for normal usage or charging.
What I've noticed that this can also happened even in sleep mode. Did there is any way to preserve battery power? Usually it can stand up to 8 hour on WM6.5 (gps, data connection on).
I am using HTC Touch Pro (RAPHAEL).
Anyway it was the greatest effort you have put to make this device running Android

It is truly a problem when you only get a couple of hours of usage and even on sleep mode. There must be something you're using that keeping the device awake. To test what happening you can use adb logcat and it will let you know which process is kept on running or you can start a new build and test every app individually. Its a lengthly process but in the end if will help you and allow you to achieve greater battery life in the long run.

remap hard keys? my hard keys on the front bottom of the phone don't seem to work other than directional. Is there a way to make them work for back and menu? or remap some keyboard key to back and menu?

i changed the wall paper and then got into the endless xdaandroind logo boot screen. WTF ???? lost everything because of a wall paper from the ROM gallery which suppose to be ok.

A couple of questions about 2.2:
1. Is there anyway we can get slide to answer back?
2. Has 3d been activated on this build?

hi guys ive a htc touch pro and im using the latest energy rom on it but having problems in loading/booting android on it , whenever i open haret.exe via browser it just hangs and nothing happens , ive tried the same with other roms like tael rom and default rom and it runs on both of them so any idea how to fix this issue ?? thanx in advance

ROM has no effect on Android, that we've found.
Sounds like you didn't copy the startup.txt... Did you follow all the directions?

Yep there are definitely some stability issues and will create an infinite loop. Until we get the builds more stable these issues will be present

Isn't slide to answer default? Otherwise we'll implement it in future builds
And yes 3d is activated in this build. From the very beginning of 2.2 and recently back into 2.1

First of all which device are you using and type?
This sounds like a very strange behavior and making a layout like this would be kind of useless. Does those buttons work in winmo?

yahoo issues?
ok guys weird problem. not sure if anyone else has it.
i use mail.yahoo.com at work. it has the chat feature. i use it to send text and msg's while at my desk.
i've noticed that since i've started using froyo, whenever my phone boots up or comes out of deepsleep, i get signed out of my yahoo chat with a message that i've been signed in somewhere else.
now i have no messenger on my device. i have yahoo mail through the stock android email app along with my gmail and exchange mail. i also have a yahoo news widget.
i have had my g/f send me a message after i am kicked out. on her messenger it lists me as mobile. i have never received a message from her on my device.
any ideas on this?

[Q] Cricket Wireless revisited: Cricket Android Plan

Greetings.
For the longest, i've been trying to get the full cricket service working under xdandroid, CM6, etc, on the RAPH800 phone using various methods posted in this forum, ppcgeeks, connect-utb, and other blogs... to no avail. The best was talk/sms, and using the web browser, access the web via the data line.
and then i found this: cricket wireless has a "new" android plan that will work for their android phones.
Has anyone using cricket and a flashed/haret'ed android os subscribed to the "android plan ($55)" and got the full cricket wireless services working?
(talk, text, mms, email, market, data, etc.)

The RAPH800 isn't an Android device, so the Android-specific plans don't apply.
For example, Sprint & VZW charge extra (you must have a certain teir plan) to get an Android device. Heck I've heard SERO members on Sprint outright cannot purchase an Android device without giving up SERO entirely.
So the trick is probably related to the Cricket proxy - have you tried setting it up...?

Sorry, double post.

Yes. And in the APN settings, i am able to browse the web, but not log onto the google account nor visit the Market.
i even tried the u2nl and autostart.sh solution to no avail.
My guess would be: subscribe to the "android plan" and then apply those solutions... but the plan is beyond my budget for the time being.

I would recommend against that - you could end up applying for a plan that could potentially cause issues with your device (probably not, but you never know...)
At best you'd end up paying more money and since you don't have an actual Android phone not be able to reap the benefits of having an actual Android phone...
Is there a global place to adjust proxy settings? Perhaps Cricket sees the market traffic and outright blocks it... that is a shame if that's the case. Personally, I wouldn't pony up for an Android plan unless I was running an Android phone...
It's kinda a stupid workaround, but can you access the market and google services thru wifi?

The only obvious place is through the APN Settings
sure, one can hack into the files relating to networking (since it is linux-based)... but any changes via GUI would over-write the files. (anyone wanna confirm this claim? )
Perhaps there's an app in the Marketplace dealing with proxies... (anyone wanna recommend one? )

i get the same response from the other related forums... including the word "Perhaps" ... but no hard evidence.
Is there a way to determine if this is really true using the android debugger, or some other tools?

I would imagine if you could run a netstat command while trying to access said services, and if you get any SYN_SENT's... then it's pretty certain that it is being blocked.
I could also be barking up the wrong tree, that's just how I would probably figure it out if it was a computer

The easiest way is have a dealer add your TP to the account as the Zio then change it to the 60z "$55 Android plan" refresh the features.
Then for the setting on the phone:
Using CDMA WS or the likes write the NV files from whiterabbit.org set the EVDO passwords, double check all the epst setting, then check your data connection in WM. If it's working in WM flash the Android ROM of your liking, waite for the 3g or H icon to appear and you will have a fully flashed Android TP. Also note you will need an updated PRL, most are using 32100.
I am proof it is working, I have it running on a Touch and plan to load it on the wifes TP this weekend.

Thanks for affirming it works... for the Touch.
However, from the sites observed, the Touch Pro does not have the NAND option working, and we're stuck with using the Haret method instead... unless i'm mistaken.
With Haret, is it the same proceedure as you've outlined above, or is there another?

I wouldn't see the point of paying extra for something that's only usuable part-time...
I had too many call-related issues to be running Android full-time.

If you had a WM device on the Android plan it's going to open the access up. You will get full use of POP email, apps that you may not now.

Yes but IMHO it would only make sense to pay extra for something that you can use. Not that Android is completely unusable, it's just not usable as a full-time OS.

My Xperia play Has internet but can't connect to any servers...

I just got a new xperia play from hong kong. Its a R800A and its connected to koodo. The only issue is the fact that I can go on the browser but almost every site is blocked/cannot be connected. This is the same situation with every other internet app especially the preinstalled ones like Market. No matter what I do it says something like "Cannot Connect to Servers, Please try again later" It has me so upset and no matter where I go on the internet there is not a single person who can help so I'm making this report and hoping someone can help me.
To speed things up I live in Canada and I can call and text without issue. But when I go to the internet I can't do anything.
Thank you for reading if you have any information on what i can do or what will help please reply and help me

I just bought a used R800X and was wondering the same thing - Wifi doesn't work anywhere except for the stock browser. After some searching apparently Google Play Services support for Android versions under 4.0 was killed off earlier this year.
So if your Xplay is still on 2.3, you won't be able to use the Market or pretty much any app that uses Google Services. You can still sideload apps that you've backed up with Titanium on another device or just install some APKs from the net. If you really can't live without Google Services look into getting a custom ROM based on 4.0+.
My R800X has some dumb issues in regards to the bootloader so ROMs are pretty much out of the question for me, but I was still able to get it rooted and install a bunch of emulators. Hopefully you have better luck. Cheers mate!

Thank you! thankfully I'm bit of a nerd so I went online and force updated the app store to the latest version and now I can get basic apps. Down side is that it keeps breaking and crashing every few minutes so I'm going to uninstall most of the unnecessary apps and see if that will help fix most of the issues with crashing. Also the fact that most of them are always running in the background doesn't help xD.
I also have planes to overclock using my sd card. like take some of the memory to boost my phones power

I had a bit of the same but I managed to get it rooted and my bootloader is unlocked. Thing is most links (like it has been said) has been killed off. But I need a custom rom for the phone...it’s getting me really mad. Suggestions? Help? Please?

For custom ROMs, it's gonna be a crapshoot going through all of the threads and looking for links that are still hosted online somewhere. /u/ TheNameBrand had some success with installing CM9 recently, but ran into wifi issues or something. Here's the link if you're still interested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024782
If you end up sticking with stock and don't have the Market/Play Store running, you can download the latest 2.3 compatible version of the Play Store here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-2-02-release/
