TC55 Operating System for Verizon 3G Non-GMS Devices BSP 01.06.01 Release Notes

Introduction

TC55CH is a ruggedized device based on Android for the enterprise market that blends the capabilities of a smart phone with those of a traditional enterprise PDA.
TC55CH has a number of enterprise-grade features, including a touch-screen that can be used with gloves, support for stylus input for signatures, barcode capture capability and IP67 rating for dust and water protection.
 
It also features Zebra Extensions (ZX) to make the Android operating system more enterprise ready, with security enhancements and hooks for device management tools, and is designed for a longer lifecycle than the typical smart phone.
TC55CH is designed in response to customer feedback from using consumer-grade smart phones in the workplace, especially with the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend, where employees use their own choice of device for work.
 
With TC55CH the workers can capture practically any type of data — from bar codes and signatures to photos, videos and NFC — improving on the job efficiency and customer service. The screen is optimized for Enterprise viewing, helping ensure the battery lasts a full shift.
And with a drop, tumble and environmental sealing specification you can count on, it has the durability required to serve your field workers for years.
 
The TC55CH is only supported on the Verizon network in the USA.  It will work on CDMA and EVDO.

    Known issues, Tips and Workarounds

    Description

    Notes/Recovery

       

    Observing NVitems push after OSupdatewhich intermittently locks up the device.

    This would only be seen when the BSP is reflashed on the device.  If the modem is not responding at boot time just after the OS image is updated, the terminal should detect this condition.  If it does, it will automatically reboot and recover.  If the terminal did not automatically detect this condition, the phone will remain in the no service state.  To overcome this issue, the user needs to cold boot the terminal.  Once the NV item update has succeeded the terminal can then be used as expected.  This is not a common occurrence and may only be seen during OS reflash.

    ·   Charging may fail on the first attempt (rarely) the LED will blink red quickly to indicate this (114388)

    ·   Connecting a unit with a dead battery to a charger (rarely) does not turn on (115212)

    To recover, reinsert the charger.

     

    Charging a deeply-discharged battery will cause the LED to blink red slowly… this is normal and can last up to 8 minutes until the normal charging green LED is seen (114428)

    This is normal behavior.

    Scanner/camera does not enable after restore of Datawedge (113726)

    To recover, select a Datawedge profile after the restore operation.

    For a mixed deployment comprising broadcast and hidden SSID’s, the device cannot connect to a hidden SSID if the profile was added manually by selecting a broadcast SSID listed in "WiFi" Settings Page.(114289)

    To workaround this problem, there are two solutions:

    1.    Manually add the profile using the “Add network”  option (Click on “+” in “WiFi” Settings Page)

    2.    To configure programmatically, use the wifiConfiguration class to create a profile that has the hidden SSID field parameter set to true. Here is a code sample to do this:

              import android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration;

              WifiConfiguration configuration = new WifiConfiguration();

              configuration.hiddenSSID = true;
