LG Optimus S LS670 - Doesn't work

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Where to start? I spent all last night and this morning trying to test my app on my phone. I have been keeping up with recent builds, and testing on my computer forever. But when I couldn’t even run one line program (display.newRect(10,10,40,40)) I knew I was in trouble.

My Phone:
LG Optimus S LS670
Android 2.2

My Development Platform
Windows 7 x64
Corona SDK Build 2011.527

I tried installing various builds of my app, and stuff I compiled weeks ago would work, and stuff compiled recently wouldn’t. I noticed something peculiar about the recent ones as I installed them. It asked if I wanted to “Allow this application to: Network communications full Internet access”. It usually just mentions “Allow this application to: Hardware controls control vibrator”. So now, when I click Install, instead of saying installed, I get “Application not installed”.

Sigh, so spent all night trying different computers, trying different programs, and nothing was working. I even got someone on mIRC to help me out. I sent him my build, and it worked on his phone! So I was like darn, it’s not even my computer. He convinced me it was probably my phone (where I thought it wasn’t at all). So I did the inevitable and factory reset my phone!

Did it work!? NOPE! Come on! What else could it be, right? Well, I gave up last night… and went at it again today. Pulled out an old laptop I had, and tried it out on here! IT COMPILED and COPIED TO MY PHONE JUST FINE! I looked and looked to see what the difference was between this laptop and the other computers I tried. I found it! It was Corona SDK Build 2011.377. So I updated to the newest version, and tried all stable releases in between. Sure enough, I ran into the same problem with the network connection, and application not installed!

So, phew! I’m glad I found the problem, but I’m sad that I can’t use the newest version of Corona SDK.

Can we support LG Optimus S LS670, guys!? Thanks!

Alright, I figured I should meet anyone half way with helping me resolve this problem. Here’s the ADB LOGCAT of when I try to install a simple trial program of creating a rectangle.

I had the same issue…with my lg optimus v

Corona now only supports armv7 processor phones.

See this link for a list of armv7…and others

Daily 319 is the last osx version to work on arm6. 377 is the last windows version if i remember correctly. [import]uid: 8872 topic_id: 10847 reply_id: 39481[/import]

Yeah, this sort of sucks, because I bought my phone for development purposes (and Corona SDK) in December, and here I am 6 months later, and I can’t use it anymore to develop. :confused: Oh well. I guess I have to use an old version of Corona to develop for my phone.

Is there a way/link I can get to see all the release notes since build 377… I either see recent changes, or antiquated changes, but not the in-between. [import]uid: 7721 topic_id: 10847 reply_id: 39495[/import]

I just spent the last 20 minutes reading about ARMv6 not being supported by Corona SDK. Everytime someone asks why ARMv6 was no longer supported, it seems to be pretty silent on the forums. But when asked about why only > 2.2, Ansca Team members know exactly what to say.

I read one post where Carlos basically said he would cut X% to prevent from having a bad reputation. I understand it, but kind of sucky for us developers who truly are looking for a cross-platform development suite.

I just need to vent and let someone in cyberspace know that I’m not happy with the decision. But as long as you can make developers’ lives easier and profitable, you will always have me as customer…

Thanks, and good night all! [import]uid: 7721 topic_id: 10847 reply_id: 39496[/import]

I have done quite a bit of looking and can not find a link to daily build 377.

I did find a link to an older 319 version that is a dmg here…in a great article:

http://www.base2solutions.com/walkabout/Corona%20Tips.html

Maybe there is hope, I just can not find 377 msi. [import]uid: 39506 topic_id: 10847 reply_id: 39503[/import]

Well when I was testing it a few days ago, I simply went here to test out all the stable releases:

https://developer.anscamobile.com/downloads/archive

This is where I test 377, 484, and 505 for Windows… only 377 worked on my phone. [import]uid: 7721 topic_id: 10847 reply_id: 39657[/import]

#9

Exactly my point. It is not a format, and this is part of OGL Extensions and I doubt it will be found on mGPU’s.

Here I go… updating to the latest stable version of Corona SDK, going to try and find an old iPod touch, or newer ARMv7 Android Phone/Tablet, and hopefully never looking back!

PS - This would be much easier if I could build to iPod from my Windows machine.

To new beginnings!

Here we go, stop our project in Corona because it is very limited… Don’t work in most part of the devices (like lg optimus one, and others) [import]uid: 6732 topic_id: 10847 reply_id: 40061[/import]

I’ve an LG E510 “optimus hub” (android 2.3.4), and standard demos built in my windows7 with the 2011.591 version of sdk can be installed but doesn’t start (crash on startup).

my question… can i download older built? or I must “buy/subscribe” before be sure that I can build app at least for my phone ?
[update]
purchased license, downloaded 377 built compiled and deployed.
it works on my LG E510.
However, I think that there are a lot of people like me that prefer “compatibility” and not “performances”.
