I need a Vogue user who wants to install VaniljEclair RLS9 and then add the update attached in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7511486&postcount=612
I want to now a few things before I push the changes in libhtcgeneric-ril.so to the repo.
1. Does the cell tower location changes break anything for Vogue users (I'm pretty sure cell tower location won't work on Vogues but as long as the changes doesn't break Vogue compability then the change would be OK to push)
To test this, just make sure phone calls and data traffic works.
2. Does the pin code changes work on Vogue, at least I'm pretty sure they shouldn't break anything but it would be nice to know if it works on Vogues aswell.
To test this, enable pincode security in Windows mobile (or use another phone to do it) and see if accepts your pincode in android.
If you want to try changing the pincode you propably should use a spare SIM card. It worked fine for me on my Kaiser but I guess there is a risk involved.
I could try and test this, but 1 main question:
I use Sprint network - so my vogue's do NOT have a SIM card?
Would loading this provide any useful testing?
Or does the testing require a phone with SIM card?

Testing would still be helpful, just to now it still works just as it did before the update.
OK, will try it out after I backup some of my stuff on the phone.
1 More question:
I'm currently running Incubus Release 12 Froyo with the 7/26/10 NBH file
Can I just go ahead and install Eclair?
Or do I actually need to flash an eclair NBH?
kallt_kaffe,
I'm running Froyo RLS 12 from Incubus
I saw your androidupdate.tar file only had this 1 file changed: libhtcgeneric-ril.so
I said what the hell, and just went and applied the update to Froyo RLS 12
Rebooted the phone - no issues, can still make phone calls and can still do data/internet
Is that a good enough test?
Or does Eclair specifically have to be installed on the phone?

Interesting... I didn't think Froyo would run with a libhtcgeneric-ril.so compiled for Eclair. I've tried the other way around and it left me without any data or phone connetion.
As for your previous question. You can use the froyo kernel on VaniljEclair RLS9. And if it isn't to much trouble, then please test it with eclair too even thought the Froyo test propably proves it works on Vogues.
hey K_K i can test it my vogue isnt active though, if you still need people to test it only problem is i wouldnt be able to do it till later tonight

That's OK. Let me know how it goes.
I've been running your Vanilla Eclair full time since release 8, IMHO it is the fastest and most reliable 2.1/2.2 build out there. I will load the update and let you know if I see any issues.

Well I can confirm that the cell tower location does NOT work for me (Vogue on Verizon CDMA), which I believe was expected. I noticed no other issues with phone/data service though.

Yep - HTC Touch Vogue - Sprint Service
Works without any problems using your fixed file
Data works, calls work, and hell, it even works on Froyo RLS 12 as an update!
Nice one.

I believe he's just trying to see if the changes he made affect Vogue users at all. The changes were for cell tower location on GSM networks, and since Vogues use CDMA it won't work. He just wants to make sure that CDMA doesn't break. You shouldn't expect to see anything new, just that everything is working as it used to, and it's a good sign that it is.
Thanks everyone who has tested. I'll consider the test to be over and I'll push the new code today.

Afters many hours searching the net and xda i could not find answers to these questions.
1) Does the rogers dream/g1 GPS work without a data plan? (using a standalone GPS app for example: CoPilot)
2) Does rogers Dream/G1 require data in order to initially find the satellites?
3) If you have no data plan are you able to get a lock on the satellites?
4) Can i manually enter my coordinates (longitude/latitude) for my gps in order to find the satellites quicker?
Here is what happened, i got fed up with rogers and decided to cancel my data plan (its just not worth paying 25$ for just 500mb per month). But since i canceled i noticed i am unable to find satellites for my GPS. Using multiple apps (GPS Test, GPS Status, CoPilot, etc...) none of them could get a lock on any satellites or even find one for that matter. I had my phone outside in a clear view of the sky when i was trying these apps.
By the way its not a hardware issue, because it worked before i canceled the data plan. I purchased the standalone map software called CoPilot in order for me to use when i canceled my data plan. (The US/CANADA maps are already installed on my sdcard).
Data was not important to me, since i quite often use my wifi, but not having my GPS working because i canceled my data is really making a paper weight out of my phone
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!, as i am sure that there are many other users who would like to have these questions answered before making the decision to cancel their data plan.
1) Yes.
2) No.
3) Yes.
4) No.
Note that robbers really screwed some things up badly on the latest "update" that they sent out for DREAM hardware -- along with locking the thing down to prevent you from fixing it yourself. I think they want to make it look like crap and be locked in to its obsolete version of Android permanently. They are obviously fishing for more service contracts. I wouldn't be surprised if they broke GPS.
Note: It could be that you just aren't in a spot to easily receive GPS.
Thank you for the response!!! lbcoder, and i am happy you kept your answers to a yes or no (that was exactly what i was looking for).
I was wondering if you could help me some more. Instead of doing the robbers 911 update, i followed the instructions from cyanogen to bypass this since i already had my phone rooted, i used this guide wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio
Before i did this update i was running enomther rom and also wesgarner rom. Both worked flawlessly and GPS also worked with both. But once rogers sent out the 911 update, that's when i cancelled my data plan, and followed cyanogen instructions to bypass this.
1) Could it be that its cyanogen new v4.2.14.1 rom that is causing the issue of my gps not working?
2) What are other roms i can try that works with cyanogen new radio update?
Thanks again for your help!

Possible. Cyanogen isn't known for being particularly stable.

I believe that you should be able to use ANY ROM that you like. The only issue is that the kernel you use must be compatible with that radio (i.e. built from the HTC source).
There is no guarantee, but there is a high likelihood that the appropriate kernel will work with pretty much any system image. So you should be able to switch out the boot.img and any kmods from any rom to make something that works.
Just be sure that you don't go messing with the radio or spl on your phone and keep a good nandroid backup in case you need to backtrack.
Now if you aren't comfortable making this kind of modification (i.e., if you have to ask....), then you might want to go searching for ROMs that are specifically listed as compatible. I don't have any robbers hardware, so I don't know which specific roms to suggest to you.
I was able to install two roms aside from cyanogen, using the new radio. One was by wesgarner and the other by benbuchacher. Both roms are not able to find any satellites for the gps.
So i can confirm this issue has nothing to do with the roms.
CAN ANYBODY CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO USE THEIR GPS WITH A ROGERS DREAM PHONE, WITH THEIR DATA PLAN CANCELED?
The G1 GPS uses ASSISTED location when it can, meaning when you use the GPS along with the data services it will be able to lock onto a signal pretty much instantaneously. If you turn off your data, if can take the GPS a LONG time to find location (I've seen it take upwards of 5 minutes.)

not sure which version were you using but Cyanogen is one of the best roms and stable ones, maybe you used the experimental version

Any of them. They're all bloated piggish things that barely work at all. Fine if you like bleeding edge and useless features. Not if you actually want your something productive.
it works fine.
Being a sprint user myself upon the camera development this morning (still needs work but something is better than nothing)
i have come to realize that Eclair and Android on The Sprint HTC Touch
is very close to complete.
only things left that i know of are:
bluetooth audio (music playback)
video recording
Video playback
but i want to see if anybody else has found anything.

Yea I know it is but not for audio routing so you can't listen to music through it
Video playback is also still not working.
I'm running the super eclair from incubus
Well the camera on mine still isn't working after the update. It loads but when i take a picture it crashes.
I'm very new to this so I'm trying to learn as I go.
but also I'm not receiving text for some reason, everything else seems to be working fairly well.

Text messaging is a known issue with super eclair. It works on other builds.
cool now that the camera is working does everyone have MMS setup to send?

This is day two of going back to this phone and I dont have any data connection. In two more days according to Sprint I should have 100 percent access to whats on my account. I hope I have data connection soon. If I dont have it back by then I will be posting it here. I miss my data connection!

what happened there, was your Data working before you flashed to android?
I have the Vogue and the Titan. I switched from my Vogue to the Titan due to some minor issues and now my Titan is doing the same thing. Before switching back to my Vogue I flashed the rom with the Android, liked it alot and then called up sprint and did a switch back to my newly improved Vogue. According to the sprint rep it will take upto 4 days for all provisioning to be complete. As of right now I have it all working except for the data. My phone doesnt even show a data connection and when it tries to access something via internet it says "You don't have a network connection. Ths could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. Please try again when you are connected. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Ohh yah, *2 and *4 doesnt work. I was going to call them today to see if they could speed things up but cant call them this way.

yea so i have an easy fix to your problem, flash back to windows mobile once its back an loaded access the internet, it should do some sort of dialing #777 thing then flash back to android after IE loads any sort of web page.
you should be perfectly provisioned right now the max it usually takes is like 24 hours, although i do still have nightmares from my days as a service tech provisioning those sprint Direct Connect phones
but yea so if you were in android before you activated the phone thats why you dont have data
Thank you. I relized that I would probable needed to do this but I didnt want to if there was a easier way to resolve this issue. I recall that I needed to do this when I went for stock rom to nfs 6.5 and had no internet as well. I then needed to load the 6.3 rom and then back to 6.5. This time I reverted to the 6.3 nfs rom and straight to this one.
okay so I am super new to this...i have a sprint vogue and i am running the zen-hero files from my sd card...I cannot get my caller id to work to save my life...it shows just numbers when someone calls me please help...
..In picking out which is the best droid setup for me.
I was here months back when I setup droid on my Vogue(US Cellular) and over the course of a couple days of trying out different builds and testing, I found that Warm Doughnut was the best working one for me at the time. Unlike the Froyo build on here that I tried, doughnut's data connection worked fine (and right away) without any setup at all whereas I couldn't get it running for the life of me on Froyo.
However, I'm wanting to swap out past doughnut now to a more updated version of Android. Which would you all recommend? I've been reading some good reviews on the Gingerbread build... However, I'm worried about calls/sms/data and all of the other features... Which are working which aren't?
I'd have to have them all working (like current setup on doughnut) to make the switch, else it'll just be pointless for me.
Now I ask the same of the FroYo build on here. Before it worked fine for me, except the data functions... I couldn't get it to connect at all for the life of me.
So, I ask of you all with more experience with this phone than me. What would you suggest? What works for you? Doughnut, Froyo, or Gingerbread?
I want to get Froyo running if I can (about to put it back on and give it a go) but not having a data connection will kill the idea for me. And even better would be if I can get Gingerbread running, but only if I can get in/outgoing calls, sms, data, (gps hopefully) and bluetooth.
Thanks in advance for any/all support you guys can give me!
Superfroyo seems very stable and functional to me. I'm on Sprint. Even MMS works though you have to fiddle with it. Gingerbread's not all there yet stabilitywise.

Thanks for the reply! I felt the same when I tried it out months ago, my only issue is getting the data running... Did you have to fiddle with yours a lot to get it working? I know you're on Sprint and I'm on US Cellular, but from what I can tell the two shouldn't be that different to setup. Maybe I didn't give it enough time/work before to get data running (or maybe I was doing it wrong).
Also, I'm going to be using it from my SD card (like I have previously) for a while and make sure its solid before I think about wiping my WM6.1 off and replacing it altogether. Doughnut worked fine off of the SD card, I'm assuming Froyo will as well? Didn't give it too much time before, but when I did have it going on the SD card before I didn't notice it chugging along at all.
Another thing, do I have to use WM6.5 to get this going, or is it ok using WM6.1 like I am? Would prefer not to have to redo (and backup all that nonsense) for my 6.1 if I don't have to.
I totally wiped windows mobile and run off nand. It's snappy enough and data worked straight off. No fiddling.

The typical question is: does it work in winmo?
Hello all, hope you are all good
I've had an updated RIL posted over on the Kaiser forum for a while now but for those that haven't seen it I don't know of any reason why it wouldn't work for you guys with your Vogues.
To install simply unzip the download and put the androidupdate.tar in the andboot folder on your SD card, then install like any other update in the android installer menu.
There are a lot of changes most of which relate to general responsiveness, signal strength detection and reliability. Let me know if there are any problems on the Vogue.
The modem app included in most builds isn't really necessary anymore so I recommend just enabling and disabling through the android setting but each to there own.
hi
i have updated your drivers
but it doesn't work with Donut?
I tried to install this update but after I did, my phone would never aquire my carrier's signal.
Sent from my HTC Kaiser/Vogue using XDA App
hello
i used this ril on my sprint vogue and it sits there searching for signal the whole time, cant connect.
i did notice that before the boot animation comes up, the little block of code says something like ro.home.operator.numeric=4 which with hyc's work over for tp2 means its trying to get into cdma operation.
seems on the right track to real cdma ril on our hardware, hyc mentioned when i asked him a while back that wrong radio commands (i think htcbsinfo maybe?) was the culprit why it wouldnt connect, and network location was part of it too.
thanks for your work, hopefully this may help in some small way
doesn't work
I have a verizon on Fat Free RLS5 - odex.
Cannot find network...
In conclusion, this does not work w/ the vogues', please adjust settings accordingly
I currently have 5.12.00.08 radio. According to this page: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version it says the radio should be the LATEST VERSION. But doesn't say what version that is. I have CM 7.0.3 and 2.6.38.7-CFS-redstar+ kernel.
My understanding is 5.12 is the latest for anyone, but I don't know if it was ever officially released in USA or just Korea. I couldn't find anything definitive.
I've been seeing performance issues for quite some time with regard to 3G data. Doesn't quite seem usable, very slow and sometimes the little arrows show nothing happening for several seconds before anything starts to move. When standing next to someone with a Verizon phone, it's pretty embarrassing when their data is already loaded and I don't even see my little arrows doing anything yet.
Speedtest has almost always been .25MBs-.45MBs when on 3G. I'm not expecting 100Mb, but it really makes the phone hard to use when 3G is this slow.
I've called Tmobile on a few occasions and they either tell me it's an unsupported device and, basically, go pound sand or that they are always working on upgrading service and I should see better speeds with time.
What else can I do to get better speeds?
If everything is working you shouldn't worry too much.
The Radio that got update with OTA GB is 5.08.00.
I've run 5.12.00 before without a problems. I went ahead and put 5.08.00 on cause that's what is official with GB.
