for those who have wifi problems.

I m building a new BOOT 179-4 based on Spanish SBF (3 Jun 2011 Kernel and modules)

Inside i let the "old" wifi modules (froyo ones) which are on this SBF...

Maybe something was fixed...

When we switch wifi config.. that can invalidate "stored wifi keys" in config... so if no wifi network is present at all, delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot to check...

If these Modules doesnt works well for you... reinstall last BOOT179 and make report :)

PS: Thanks Petr81 for the beer ^^

EDIT: The froyo modules have a better ping but they can have problems to connect to some WPA Mimo wifi networks
[Defy Android Development] tecjam:
I've had the exact same problems for a while now, not just with the latest nightly, but pretty much throughout. I can't say if this happens on RC1 and I havn't really used it much as I flash the nightlies on a daily basis pretty much.

I'm not sure if it's an issue with the power bar widget - which I usually use to switch wifi on and off.

Basically, I switch wifi on using the power bar widget and nothing happens .... I go to settings > wireless and it says 'obtaining IP address' , but nothing happens.

So I go to Wi-Fi settings - it says the same, but the network (in this case my home network) says it's 'Not in range'.

It only connects to my saved network if I use the settings screen to disable and then re-enable the wifi.

Do we have dlna? I had with froyo. Its phone portal?

Installed the cm7-110723-1251-BOOT179-4 nightly for test, the one thing I immediately noticed is that the overclock settings in boot menu are not applied any more, I'm restricted to 800Mhz instead of 1GHz.

We might have a winner here...

Am I glad to participate in the good news reporting group?

Oh yeah!

I've read very good comments on that last Froyo sbf and seeing that Ep finally made a build with it, I couldn't wait and jump in.

I've just installed BOOT179-4 (110723-1251) and after a quick and very limited testing (~30 minutes), I must say that I'm impressed. Here's why:

1- My wi-fi speed is back!! After almost 6 weeks of slow DL speeds, this build brought back my constant 1700kbps up and down. I was getting very desperate on this: my wifi DL speeds were averaging 250 kbps the last few days...I almost gave up on using the browser on my phone...

2- After having video camera FCs with the last 4 nightly builds that I've tried; this one here works perfectly.

3- Video playback seems better than ever (smooth and audio/video well sinchronized).

So all good here! :D

I couldn't care less about the 800MHz at boot; CM7 works so well that I usually downclock to 777MHz anyway... everything is fine, smooth and lag-free at that frequency even the games that I play. And SetVsel works fine with this build as well so easy overclock that way and no reboot required...

More testing tomorrow, but I'll sure go to bed a little happier now....

Thumbsup Epsylon: nice build. ;)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Not like I terribly care for the 800Mhz, but I consider it a bug so I reported it!
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
That's cool!

My comment was more as a reply to the person asking about people's CM7 performances a while ago... IMHO once ADW Launcher is tweaked a little, CM7's interface and games are pretty smooth w/o overclocking.

The "I couldn't care less..." was just an honest comment about that fact and really not aimed your way ;)

Cheers.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
yea, i dunno exactly what is going on with overclock...

CPU Spy report 800Mhz and some others report the 1.1Ghz

after running setvsel.

There is a problem in the overclock modules with this kernel... to be continued...

I suggest people who have a refused wifi connexion to try to change router wifi

settings, like channel or encryption mode... report if you find a solution...

Its long to test, i need to type manually password on each try... and the bad

network is far from my room...

WiFi Problems

The latest nightly doesnt let me use the wifi. The phone says it is conected (if it is unsecured) but browser or market can't connect. Also, if he WIFI connection is secured (pasword), the phone can't conect: always disconecting.

Very frustrating. What can I do?

internal speaker crapped out

I haven't upgraded in awhile. Using the 7-110627-2013 Nightly. A few days ago my internal speaker stopped working. Must use speakerphone to hear any calls. Rebooting didn't solve it. Anyone else experience this issue?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
You are having a hardware problem, you must send the phone for service.
[Defy Android Development] lionheartpl:
when I had this issue it was a hardware problem(not related to any rom whatsoever) and I had to send it to motorola to get it repaired. It's a pretty commom bug. Try flashing a stock rom and see if you get lucky.

IIs there still no way to fix the compatibility issue with certain sd cards?
[Defy Android Development] edwardo_machino:
Ok. Thanks.

Why do you think an official ROM refresh would help, if it is a hardware problem?
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
I'm having some problems with my 8Gb class6 card, this bug is in all CM7 latests nightlies. Many times after taking a photo, or recording a video the gallery loses the connection to the sdcard, the same goes to the camera app :\
[Defy Android Development] edwardo_machino:
I'll make this quick as I don't want to hijack the CM7 thread with an off-topic problem.

Yeah, I thought the earpiece problem was a CM7 bug but it isn't, it is a contact problem as I blew into the earpiece with compressed air and now it works again - for how long, who knows.

In any case, for those of you who think it might be a CM7 problem, it is not. Check this thread for instructions on replacing the speaker (although it is likely just bad contacts between speaker and board).

CM7 is great. Thanks to all the developers, I have so much fun with it.
[Defy Android Development] edwardo_machino:
Hey! I had this problem!

Was this a cheap ebay card? Does your phone sometimes just totally freeze when writing to it? Make sure it doesn't have a boatload of bad sectors. Sometimes sellers buy rejects and sell them as good.

Go here for H2testw 1.4, which detected my bad card, so you can rule out this possibility.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
For the SDCard problems, you are right, it seems related to Galery(3D)

It is maybe a problem in the Galery Code (like to much opened files)

My suggestion to fix it Quickly : Install QuickPic from Market, it is free, functionnal.

When asked to browse images set this app as Default. This SDCard problem can cause also the black screens when you want to wake up the phone.
[Defy Android Development] :
I tried with a Nokia-brand 8GB SD card that came with the previous phone, it's also causing the problem. Another off-brand one 8GB, the same. Finally the 2GB one that comes with Defy, okay.

BTW, is the latest nightie good? Any battery drain? Are we going to boot179 in official release?

Cheers.
[Defy Android Development] lionheartpl:
I actually don't think it will help. I just want to make sure it's a hardware problem before you send your unit in for repair.

Quickpic has everything you need.

But after all... I think it may be a problem with thumbnails. Because Dropbox has this new feature and same as the Gallery 3D sometimes it says that the SD Card is missing.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
it IS thumbnails generation. gallery generate them - quickpic don't.

search and read my post about that, i had a very steady scenario..

and more precisely : file corruption happens, then thumb generation yields unwriteable sdcard
[Defy Android Development] sentree:
Really like the cm7-110723-1251-BOOT179-4 nightly.

Battery life is good now, better than RC1v2.

WiFi works smooth and without drops. Almost all seems to be good now.

But just one thing dont seems to work for me. Like in stock Froyo, CM7 nightlys and RCs dont do nothing if I connect the Defy to USB and turn native USB-Tethering on.

In the Defy+ ROMs I've tested so far, the native USB-Tethering works without problem. Maybe it would be possible to integrate these modules in CM7?

Other than that, keep up the good work devs :)
[Defy Android Development] zakoo2:
does this mean wifi/advanced/regulatory domain setting is back on? cuz it was excluded from a few nightlies...
[Defy Android Development] shorty66:
For me the battery live is superb on the Boot179-4.

I experienced somewhat bad battery live (1.5days) with the nightly of the 22.7. but now i get around 2.5 days and am very happy with that.

My bleutoothkeyboard still wont work, though. It connects as HID but typing doesnt work.

Do the overlcock settings in the boot menu still work on the cm7-110723-1251-BOOT179-4-Jordan.zip update? ive just flashed it, and when i go into SetVSEL it reports all the settings at the default values, regardless of whats in the boot menu CPU settings.

or have i missed something when flashing, as ive just been installing the Zip from SD without wiping anything ( moving from the 1808 nightly to this)
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Just checked for you and no the settings is not there. BUT, when I checked with Wifi Analyzer app, it showed me 14 channels (and ch 14 was also shown as the best one for me at that momment).

But why is it such a big deal anyway?

Can't you just change your router's settings and use a different channel?

Have you tried to change the number of channels in one of the wifi config file like someone suggested?

Nevertheless, I suggest you give the boot179-4 a try: it solved all my wifi problems I had since almost RC0 release... Except for Ookla's Speedtest.net app that doesn't connect anymore, but no big deal; I know that the speed is there ;)

The max freq for SetCPU is also 800MHz, it seems that 1000MHz is actually cannot be used in BOOT179-4 ?

Come on!

I don't want to be rude or be flamming here, but dang!!

Have you ever read anything on this forum thread?

Look just 2 and 3 posts just before yours - not pages; just 2 freakin posts.

When you decide to install a new nightly build, it never occured to you to do some reading during that download time?
[Defy Android Development] wyumhk:
Thanks, I just installed SetVsel and I have 1000MHz working now.

[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
Is it possible to be more specific in the question?

Are you asking the devs for a new feature in Gallery; something to hide some pictures or lock the access to that app?

If so, I think that the devs have other (more important) issues to work on first. Even the (very) recently mentioned thumbnails problem with that specific app would come to mind...

If you're just asking a way to hide you dirty -sorry- 'personal' pictures, then I recommend you to use 'smart app protector' from the Market:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sp.protector.free&feature=search_result

The free version lets you 'lock' 5 apps plus it blocks Market and the Package Installer by default (so 7 apps really).

My 5 applications blocked are: Astro, File Manager, Email, Messaging and Titanium Backup (TB). When I want more app secured, I use TB and freeze/unfreeze them on need. That's what I do with Root Explorer since it could be desastrous if left in some bad hands... [I could buy the paid version - I know, but 5 works for me...]

Anyhow, I wrote quite a lot for a question I'm not even clear on... hopefully my answer will be useful to you or others though..
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
No problem.

Well, you're lucky, with recent nightlies I couldn't even start the recording and was getting FCs.... :p

But now works fine in BOOT-179-4 as well.
[Defy Android Development] juan296:

[Defy Android Development] Kiristiba:
can you please be a bit more pro active?

what did you try to solve the problem?

do alternative program from market work or are the producing similar errors?

did you try to delete the camera app data?

[Defy Android Development] YashBhatt:

I have to reboot to get the camera working too

Any solution ?
[Defy Android Development] tecjam:
What can I try to resolve the problem? I am hardly a dev.

I tried lgcammera free - 'Record video failed' is the message that appears when trying to record.

Yes, I cleared the app data for the camera app - made absolutely no difference.

step 1: FC

step 2: 'Cannot connect to camera' until phone is rebooted.

Should I try and clear data / factory reset the whole phone, reinstall RC1v2 and then install the boot179-4 over the top again?
[Defy Android Development] ginnnts:
Green lens here, video recording works excellent for me, and always worked, on every nightly, since rc1!
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Function Request!

There is a missing feature here when using wired headphones to answer calls: if I answer with the headset button, the screen unlock by itself and stays on until the time is out (for me 1 min). This is not a good thing because I often keep my phone in my trousers pocket, with the screen to my leg and that is enought to appears accidentally screen touch like closing the call.

Is there an option to put the screen off if I answer through the headset buttons?

On froyo, there was a similar function like „In Pocket”. It should be useful to shut down the screen using the sensor.
[Defy Android Development] RexXxuS:

Wifi problems

Hi there,

I was one of the guys complaining about crap wifi performance ever since the new kernel was put to use.

Then right after flashing BOOT179-4 it was PERFECT, speed was great, ping wasn't bad too. It connected to my home network in no time. I even went out last night and my defy picked open connections with amazing speed two or three times.

But when I got home, i couldn't connect to my home network. That very first one it connected to without problems, it would just hang in "acquiring IP address". My notebook which uses the same network was having no problem doing so.

I then tried to delete wifi_supplicant and reboot, no go. And now I'm trying to wipe cache and dalvik cache to see if something is different.

Well, it isn't. Hangs at the same step as before. Any ideas?

PS.: Battery life in latests nightlies is AWESOME I going for 2,5 days now, with intense use and no partial charges over USB nor anything.

What is your 'address lease time' on your router? Maybe wrong term here; but you should know what i mean... I changed mine to 3 days and made this kind of problems almost disappear. When it happens again, I simply unplug the router for 10 seconds... You've tried that?

I guess that we don't have the same definition of 'intense use' because when I do use my phone intensively, the battery can go down by close to 15%/hour on whatever rom I use and that means (counting the 6% drop in the middle on my charge) a dead battery in about 6 hours.

As Quarx suggested not that long ago (and if you have a red lens), you coud try extracting the camera.apk from a stock Froyo sbf replace it /system/app (fix the file permissions and ownership) and also replace the /system/lib/libOMX.TI.Video.encoder.so (permissions and ownership as well)from the last build that the camera was working for you.

Well, I meant intense as in I'm really using my phone functions. I've listened to music for a couple of hours, I've used it's GPS to guide me through the city, I've downloaded and played a couple of games to test speed and perfomance, updated my apps, backed up my files and I've made almost 40 minutes of calls.

All data transfers were done via wifi as I've maxed my data plan for the month. =/

Of course that if I really stress my phone I'll get 8 hours or less of battery life.
