Working on a way to extract the radio from the .rfs file as we speak..
[Verizon Droid Charge] msburr87:
Alright my speak easy test for debloated EP1F is 16mbps and 4mbps (compared to 18 and 4 on 2.3.3 and 22 and 6 on froyo, and the froyo was done in an area c slightly better reception) and thats with my google syncing in the backgroud. So no real change here between this and the o2.3.3 leak. I would guess that it is either the speed test apk or your particular area.

Also I was not happy c the 2.3.3 radio, as it was spottier for me, this seems more consistent, but again I need to test for a few more days.

My experiences are coming from the tbolt where I flashed everthing and anything and we had similar issues and most of the time it was not radio related as much as ROM, user, area related.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
On Speakeasy on EG2 LTE firmware, i get 19.71mb down, 6.62 up. On the EP1F firmware i get 14.88mb down, 6.56 up. Much better results than speedtest, although the EG2 firmware looks like it still might provide better throughputs..
[Verizon Droid Charge] bmcgalliard:
No problems on the install running 2.3.4 debloated with new radio firmware. Download speeds are around 6mbps. Quadrant is averaging in the 1200's. Verified through mount command that file system is still RFS. Read earlier where it was converted to EXT4 for this release. And yes Mobile Hotspot works! Can boot into CWM no issues. I was curious as to which version you included with build just to verify. I am showing yellow version 4.0.0.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] ijustdontcare:
Yes that's what i'm showing here as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
I went on speak easy and my download speed was at 15.77. I also don't think my downloads are any slower. It may just be a false alarm. Also, had anyone else noticed how smooth the browser is? It's really nice.

anyone missing their music app?
[Verizon Droid Charge] nighteyes_wolf:
Simple fix :P doubletwist player. FREE AND GREAT :3
[Verizon Droid Charge] nighteyes_wolf:
ya, almost silky smooth hehe. Im definitely going to futz around with this leak for a few days and see if it is doable. nothing i can't do tomorrow....gotta love working helpdesk for the city of springfield...so many on vacation so the help queue is small. means extra play time for me and my new phone hahaha
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mig1234:
Goimg to be in Pittsfield to visit a friend, gonna test this on the way up
[Verizon Droid Charge] v2.2v:
lol but i liked the stock music player :/ i liked the notification pulldown feature....and the lockscreen feature...i know those other players have them but they arent as polished
[Verizon Droid Charge] nighteyes_wolf:
have you tried doubletwist? it has a very nice lock screen feature and has the pull down that shows what is playing. try it *shrug* heh
[Verizon Droid Charge] nighteyes_wolf:
funny, there wasn't supposed to be 4g in the springfield area till the end of the year. but with the tornado we just had, they decided to turn up the towers in the effected area, which were 4g capable, so they turned on that as well to help with the rescue/recovery. the rest of the springfield area towers will have their 4g turned on in the next week or so according to the rep I deal with now that I quit sprint.

I loooove that where I live I get crappy connection normally on my old hero, very bad reception due to misplacement of trees on my street....but I get this 4g and it is blisteringly fast now hehe. gotta love LTE and its penetration :P
[Verizon Droid Charge] v2.2v:
lol im gonna try it bud :D...but there has to be a stock music player right?! :confused:

hey Danalo...eta of getting Humble on the new leak base?
[Verizon Droid Charge] nowens0520:
So, if RFS is still enabled... who's willing to try to get voodoo up and running?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Right now voodoo takes too much space on the internal sd for ext4 on gingerbread for the charge is what im hearing.... is anyone running voodoo on the new gb leaks? If so, Is it working good?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Not going to start until i get a rock solid leak
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
When building my odins earlier the factoryfs.rfs file tells the complete story... these gb leaks are still using rfs

Can anyone please confirm if HDMI cable is working?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rnaiyc:
I don't know if this is a dumb guess or not but is it possible the slow speeds could have anything to do with verizon needing bandwidth to send updates to all of the 4g phones tonight due to the end of the free mobile hot spot promo?
[Verizon Droid Charge] alaj0909:

[Verizon Droid Charge] f3liC:
Nevermind!
[Verizon Droid Charge] nduanetesh:
I just performed some speed tests, using wired tether and wireless. I was running GummyCharged for the earlier tests and have just installed the debloated GB leak (with EP1F radio).

I used wired and wireless tether and ran the speedtest.net tests via my desktop computer. Before and after showed no significant change in upload or download speeds. I repeat: THE NEW RADIO DID NOT SEEM TO EFFECT UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD SPEEDS AT ALL. I was (and am) getting around 15 Mbps down and about 4.5 Mbps up.

When I run the speedtest.net app on the phone, however, I do see download speeds of approx half what I was seeing before the update. So the prob seems to be with the speed test app itself.

As for other issues, I got a force close on the setup wizard, and the first time I tried to run the speedtest app, the phone rebooted. That was a while ago, though, and everything seems fine since. I'll chime in again if I see any other big problems.

Thanks for the hard work on this rom!
[Verizon Droid Charge] opti2k:
I compared both lte_modem files of the old firmware and this GB firmware and their the exact same size..

Odd the that speedtest app would be having a problem with both GB builds..

[Verizon Droid Charge] calimansi:
Hey, what programs are you using for the wired and wireless tether?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] nduanetesh:
I used the built-in wired and wireless tethers (mobile hotspot). I used wired when I was on GummyCharged (because I couldn't get wireless to work, though in retrospect it might have been user error). Once I installed Gingerbread, I had to use wireless, as wired tether didn't seem to work any more.

On an unrelated note, does anybody know how we can get google talk with video chat?

Was it just me, or was there no booting into CWR? no wiping of any data?

[Verizon Droid Charge] thecontrolm7cl:
does anyone have any idea about the condition of tango on this leak? i know this is probably less important then the radio issues people seem to be having, but i'm curious

On a side note i flashed the EG2 update for GCBE2 and ended not wanting to deal with the leak issues and flashed to Altered Beast I noticed later that i still have the same radio. With that said i didnt notice a difference in Speeds and my speedtest.net app is so rarely consistant i've learned to not trust it but to be fair i am in a large metropolitan area so i am always having excellent service and never really aware of any data lag. But i will switch back to EE4 radio after doing some speedtests on eg2 to see if i am having major differences.

Which CWM did you flash? The non-lit softkeys are driving me crazy! I've tried to flash the New_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 in ODIN but it failed to restore my keys. Can you explain the removed/added usb steps.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
Yeah I got hit with this on the way into work this morning on both pandora and google music. It gets to about 1/2 to 3/4 through the song and then it would just freeze. If I pause/play it freezes after a second of music play. If I hit next or back to go to the next or previous song depending on which program I am on it will go to the next song and do the same thing.

Is there any possible fix for this? This seems to be the only blaring problem on this leak for me.

I also used speak easy site to test my 4G speeds here in DC and I got 16.28Mbps down and 2.24Mbps Up and on the second test I got 14.83Mbps down and 4.65Mbps up on a second test.

This is using the unbloated leak with no other modifications.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
The Evo had streaming audio problems after an update. It turns out that improper http proxy addresses had been used by Sprint. See for e.g. http://xiialive.userecho.com/topic/11559-sprint-android-devices-streaming-issues-fix/

Perhaps something like this is going on here. After having spent the last two years with Sprint, I can't remember how/where to get into these settings on a Vzw device.

This is a dealbreaker for me if we can't get this fixed, as I stream constantly to and from work (I've begun to rely almost solely on streaming my music collection via the Google Music Beta for my in-car music listening).
[Verizon Droid Charge] Baedarlboo:
Tempting...but at work, so I'll have to wait till later tonight.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
Interesting on the proxy piece. I am not sure about that myself.

I rely a lot on streaming also and now google music since it has 20k of my itunes library. Good thing I have odinmaker and made full backups.
[Verizon Droid Charge] v2.2v:
holy moly...my phone was STEAMING HOT when i woke up...and now that i think about it...it was taking forever to charge last night...any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
Amazon Cloud Player does not have any issues at all on this leak.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
Good to know. For the music apps which are problematic, I have a possible fix. Could someone try replacing the libmediaplayerservice.so file (located in System/Lib) with the linked below. The linked file is the libmediaplayerservice.so file from the ED4 rom. You may need to fix the permissions of this file first to make it read/write.

I'd try this myself, but I haven't taken the 2.3.4 plunge yet.

[Verizon Droid Charge] apascual89:
On a positive, the gps is locking postion inside my house in about two seconds!
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I'm right there with you guys as I use music streaming daily also so this is a huge dealbreaker for me. Fact is every GB build I've installed ( more then just the leaks we've seen online) has so far seemed to have the exact same issue with streaming music when using Pandora or Google Music. I tweeted last night asking about it and got a few replies saying Slacker Radio works fine so I'm not sure what is up with GM or Pandora. I hope this can get figured out as I'd like to run GB but as I commented it is a deal breaker at this point
[Verizon Droid Charge] opti2k:
Maybe its something in the ROM that's not handling bandwidth properly.. Hate paying for VZ 4G and not getting the right speeds..

Maybe the EE4 radio is different than all the others??
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
I will try this out here now and get back with you on it. I am hopeing this does not break netflix ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
One thing I just thought of. My last phone was the Nexus S 4G which came running 2.3.4 out of the box. One of the know issues with the device was that the speedtest.net app did not function properly and consistently reported unusually slow speeds. Not sure, but some of the other apps may have had the same issues. I thought it was a Nexus S problem, but maybe it is a GB issue. The only accurate speed tests on the Nexus S came from the speakeasy site or by tethering.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
Looks like doing this bricked the phone. I used root explorer to rename the original file and then copied over this file and changed the permissions to "rw-r--r--" which was what the other file was. Rebooted and it just hangs on the samsung logo.

But never fear I has backup to ee4 GC 1.8.5 and I do have a backup of this leak on my sd card. But where I work usb mass storage is blocked, so I will have to get to ee4 before I can restore back to this leak.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
Yikes! So sorry. Perhaps grabbing the file from the 2.3.3 leak might work? Did anyone have streaming problems with that leak?
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
It seems to be an issue on every GB build for the Charge so far. this includes the 2.3.3 leak, a few files inbetween that one and this 2.3.4 leak, and still an issue on a more current build of GB that has NOT been leaked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jumpie:
I wanna try this so bad but the Google Music thing is holding me back. Maybe something in hidden menus? I dunno, i'm just stretching here! :-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
Not a problem! I have the 2.3.3 leak file with me. I will see if I can do an adb pull on this file before I restore to a backup.

I dont recall having a streaming issue with 2.3.3 like I do with 2.3.4
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
Care to shed any light on this more current build? Is a leak forthcoming from anyone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] mmamo:
One thing for sure.... If these battery stats are accurate I have only used 6 percent in 5 hours. Seems like a much better leak then the 1st one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
I am not completely sure how i got it to work. All i know is after i flashed the new cwm provided in this thread it worked. I also during that time removed the us from my charge and plugged it in again. This morning it seems they are not working again. Ill play around with it at lunch and when i get home.
[Verizon Droid Charge] turnerw:
I know the streaming music is a big topic right now, but I saw the LED backlighting of the hard keys as being an issue as well, drives me crazy. Any fixes for that yet?

edit: Wow looks as if the discussion was starting back up as I was typing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
I have this too, but it is more of a quirky bug issue then a I am about to rollback to EE4 issue due to streaming.

I would like a fix for both but I would be very happy with a streaming fix.

To be very honest I would just like CM7 for it and be done with it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
It was there when I tried the original leak, just did not happen as often as it seems to on the 2.3.4 builds.

I can't say if it will leak or not to be honest, but if I were to guess I'm sure a newer build will get leaked at some point tho. I'm just lucky enough to have a friend who gets me access to flashing my device with different builds. And I don't ever ask for the files themselves as I really don't want to be involved. And before it is asked NO I will not ask or try to get any flash file. As i said I do not want to be involved with doing that.

As for the build itself it is a bit smoother then the current 2.3.4 leak from what I saw with it. that said tho I did not give it a very long run at all seeing as it had the same issue with streaming music. And speaking for myself that is a deal breaker so I went back to Froyo which functions properly
[Verizon Droid Charge] mmamo:
I have notice an issue with the new Leak 2.3.4. Has anyone tried dialing a number. One the is not in your contact list? When I get to the 3rd digit, it boots me out.

(its now 9:27am). I wiped battery stats this morning. am going to drain the whole battery, then do a complete charge. Will update with how long it takes to drain the whole battery.

Please let me know if you still have the same battery usage.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I'm almost positive that when you flash a new package in Odin, especially if its an upgrade or downgrade from OS's, that the batterystats.bin gets wiped. Meaning that you don't need to reset/delete it when you flashed GB.

There was an issue reported with 2.3.3 regarding missing RTSP keep-alive packets causing streaming to stop after about 60 seconds which appears not to have been resolved in 2.3.4 (or at least some builds). See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15229

It sounds like this may be the problem we are having.

[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
doesn't look like alot of Charge owners are "jumping" on this leak......

guess too many problems......
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
So as I read it:

Speedtest app does not work well for 2.3.x. 4G tested through website or on tether shows good speeds on new radio (I don't have 4G here so its not critical atm anyway).

There's a problem with softkey lights? I am not sure what this is. I know that hardkey lights were wonky on 2.3.2

There's an sms (receiving) problem that develops over time? That could be a big issue for me. Hopefully this is not really the case or there's a quick fix in the offing.

There's a streaming issue with Pandora and Google Music, but Slacker and Amazon work ok.

A general 2.3.x problem could be no more lagfix? That would be unfortunate. I trust someone much better versed in the ins and outs of that than I may get it working.

Anything else going on that seems not to work?
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlueHarford:
SMS hardreset fixed mine, i'll report back this afternoon

[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
I have reverted back to Froyo for now. As much as I want to be on 2.3.4 so I can do netflix without using playon. I will wait for a better leak. I enjoyed messing around with it though.

I did not get the SMS issue. The streaming issue was the biggest issue for me. The backlighing for the hard keys was annoying but did not bother me.

I am hoping maybe the GC rom and other roms will be able to use this leak but work some magic to make some of the issues get resolved.

[Verizon Droid Charge] K.AuthoR:
Maybe I just did it wrong, but my battery gremlins still seem to be present. I flashed this after charging to 100%, and actually did the flash with the battery removed, and after restoring all my apps (process took about 5 minutes) and fixing my settings, I'm already down to 88%. Seems really terrible so far, but I'll do a full drain, charge fully, and wipe the battery stats and see if it improves. I'm thinking it may have just been heavy CPU usage, but I still can't just ignore it. How's everyone else's battery life?
[Verizon Droid Charge] got_rice64:
So far I'm running ~10% per hour with moderate usage. Probably 15-17% with real heavy usage. I'm also doing a full drain right now. Gonna do a full charge after. Hopefully gets better.
