*Assistance aka, HELP* Android HTC TYTNII Kaiser - polymod_2.1 (Tattoo)

---

Hi there,
For those who take the time to read through this,
I'm a HTC TYTNII (Kaiser) user, and I have just installed Android on my phone's SD card (2gb, unpartitioned) and I boot it using HARET.exe

It works and I can do the usual and send sms'es and calendar stuff and web and market. And, as expected, it is somewhat slow in some areas.

The problem is, my mic doesn't work during calls. The camera doesn't work, the pictures are green data lines (what?what?) The mp3 player or media player doesn't work. The only time sound does work is during a call, but even then only on my side (receiver doesn't hear anything). And I am just about figuring out how the keys around/on the D-Pad work. (greenphone is Phone, redphone is power, left/right is volume, ok is back, windowskey is something like a options key, internet explorer is also a options key, etc.)

- -

So, Can aybody help me with this:

1. Mic problems (not working. calls or recording)
2. D-Pad Keys problems (don't know what they are)
3. Camera Problems (not taking pictures, just green data)
4. No file explorer to install apps. (how to upload apps on sdcard or from market)
5. Market browsing works, but cant download. (just says 'starting download' forever)
6. Can't brows SDCard (or any files for that matter)
7. Music can't play. (media player with slide album cover stuff, no play)
8. Can somebody please post up a definite link or site, where I can get working stable Kaiser Android (TYTNII) install files. (nothing fancy like themed or modified with grafiti or windows mobile features, simple Android 2.2)

PS, not sure about the Radio, or whatever. I have "Radio Version: 1.27.15.32"
Does it need updating or new files? What does it effect?

ehhh.... read the forum.... READ


here You have 'how to'.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680518
here NBH file (as You know, without this You can't install Android rom...) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660158
here is stable Android 2.1 I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688880

Radio must be 1.70.18.02 or 1.70.19.09 ...


polymod_2.1 is Enclair Android, not Tattoo.

Thanks!

Yeah, about reading... I get very frustrated when I go through 50 pages of forum, and end up having 6 pages, all about the same thing, but with different file versions. Then I'm unsure of what to do.

Thanks again, I'll try these

You can also check out my thread in this forum (can't link it due to new user restrictions) which at the time of this posting is 5th from the stickies in the index.

I had various issues with my eclair (incubus's) and it was solved by upgrading using the official WM6.1 release, which upgraded my radio. Upping to the most recent radio (1.7x...) didn't help.

Also a point of order: all eclair builds have non-functional cameras and most have bluetooth issues (some can be fixed with patches). If you need a working camera and BT, you might want to try Myn's Warm Donut which is older but is also stable... And slow.

Incubus's Super Eclair is the fastest I have tried so far though it is buggy on my kaiser.

- Mine didn't either. Might have been fixed with the radio upgrade though I haven't checked it.
- Mine work fine... Can you explain a little more?
- Universal to eclair builds, fall back to donut if this is a deal-breaker.
- You need to get yourself one since android doesn't come with a free, standard. Search for "andexplorer" on your phone's browser and install it directly from the web, then you can grab all the packages you want and manually install them.
- Does your other wifi work?
- Andexplorer.
- Likely need a radio upgrade

Redundant, but hopefully it helps more than "go do some searching" or "go read through this 300 page thread".

Mr fosi refers to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=690693&page=2

You will have to upgrade your radio, from experience on the forum I can tell you that anything lower than version 1.65.x.x will almost certainly cause a number of problems.

You will also have issues if running winmo 6.0, if you are using haret, you should go get at least a stock ROM that is winmo 6.1 and radio 1.65.x.x, yes you will lose all your data if you flash a new rom, so back up anything you really cannot live without.

And at the moment the highest version of Android available for kaiser is 2.1, 2.2 will take a little time to get to us here

again,

Thank you all,
You have been most helpful.

Up till now, I have been trying to find ways to refrain from overwriting WinMobile. (not that I prefer it, it's just I have a butload of stuff on it, and I dnt want to lose them)

@ mazz8y
Thanks for the innitial help

@ mr_fosi
Very helpfull, thanks!

@ zenity
Thank you too. But do you think it's better to overwrite? Or SDcard method?

PS, What can be used to backup everything of my current phone system? (WinMobile, calendar, contacts, messages, etc.)
I have diffuculty connecting my TYTNII to my pc via usb cable. Software related?

Same as me. Plus, I do stuff for free on windows that I can't currently do for free under android... Like read my .txt and .doc books, play .wmv files, open and edit .xls files.... Etc.

No probs. Best way yo pay back is to pay forward.

I know this wasn't addressed to me but I'll weigh in: SD is great for versatility or "trying things out" but it isn't so good for speed or battery life. Replacing windows isn't a huge deal since you can put it right back but once you flash it off, you're somewhat committed to the android model.

Personally, I don't see going straight android right now b/c it would cost me an arm and a leg to buy apps to do what I already do on windows for free. Even then I wouldn't cover everything, just the most critical issues.

Dunno about soft/hardware but the best thing to use might be PIM backup, which you can find with a quick search. I'd link it, but I can't. I don't actually use my kaiser as a phone but rather as a PDA/mobile PC so I can't help you with phone-related data. I generally use the Windows Mobile Device Center to keep all my contact, calender, notes, etc. data synced then keep everything else (like backups of installed software) on my SD. You can sync without a cable if you do it via BT. I bought a $0.25 (free shipping!) Hong Kong BT adapter for my lappy and it works great.

If you refer to running Android, I'd recommend SD card method at first, that way you learn to install and use android with the safety net of Winmo available if things go wrong.

Haret is slower, but safer.

I have used SPB Backup a number of times for this, it will back up pretty much everything, and can backup to SD card.

It depends on what build you use (I never saw a difference, difficult to measure).
