General FAQs
How do I migrate my contacts from Windows Mobile?
On the Android side, if you simply set your Google account to sync, (and you sync with WinMo) all your contacts will synchronize between operating systems - if you add a contact in WinMo, it syncs to your Google account, and same if you add a contact in Android.
How much space do I need on my Storage Card?
The data.img file by default is 256mb. With everything else, it's usually around 480mb, so a 512mb card will just barely suffice - you won't be able to fit much else on the card except for XDAndroid however!
How do I fix a non-functioning or miscalibrated touchscreen?
Delete the ts-calibration file from the root of your SD card (or where ever you run haret.exe from). The next boot you will see a calibration screen, watch the boot process carefully!
How do I prevent clock drift?
There are two types of time drift reported - if you notice your clock drifting in Android, download ClockSync (on the Market) - I have it set to sync the clock every hour.
The second type of drift people have reported is when they boot back to WinMo, and they're clock is 6, 8 etc hours off. This is because Windows stores the time locally, and Linux (and a lot of other systems) store in UTC or GMT. Usually if you sync the time in WinMo with your network provider, you'll never have a problem. Some have said this still doesn't work, then a third party app for WinMo that keeps time in sync is necessary.
How can I dial out with Google Voice?
Some users have issues dialing outbound calls through Google Voice. If you experience this, add the following to your cmdline in startup.txt: north_am_dialing=1
Which cmdline arguments are available in startup.txt?
See Kernel boot command-line parameters
HTC Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2 (Rhodium)
Which features are not currently supported?
- Camera - there is a test kernel to work out issues related to it.
- BT - pairs but doesn't pass any audio/data
- 3.5mm jack - RHOD400/500 has this plug, and it doesn't work at the moment
- USB - only works for adb (debugging)

Why is the device's notification LED always orange or green?
The notification LED indicates sleep state (orange LED indicates device is awake; green LED indicates device is in sleep mode). If the LED is always orange, the phone isn't properly sleeping. Make sure GPS is disabled, as this will prevent the phone from sleeping.
How do I connect to WiFi networks with WEP encryption?
There is currently an issue with WiFi access points which use WEP encryption. The system currently does not support WEP out of the box, but a Market app called wifi-ace will work around this issue until it is resolved by XDAndroid.
