SSID

I can conform this works on the newest Caulkin, but I cannot get it to connect when i have the SSID broadcast turned off even though plaything matches up. It DOES work when in broadcast mode though. Has anyone had any success with broadcast off?

Thanks for trying. I just tested it and it failed to install. Pretty sure it said the error code was 7... The error message was complaining that "format ()" was expecting 3 args and only getting 2.

I will fix that asap sorry.

UPDATE 2011_0712 12:27 pm

The attached zip has been updated and should be working now Sorry about the formatting issues with Edify there are two ways of formatting one with two variables and one with three variables. It should work now. I have tested the formatting part on my Evo now and everything runs fine for me. Again let me know if there are any problems. Thanks

any one having camera issues

hi i reflash my evo to the stock rom 4.24 before it had CM7 everything works but my camera just wondering if any one has had this issue and is there a fix
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
Done. Thank you so much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] obperryo:
I tried both methods and all three files, including setting permissions. I kept getting Error for wifi.

So, what worked for me - I restored my backup, used method 2 and Wipe dalvik cache and cache with RA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smurph82:
Ok I think I found the problem. It was a permission problem. I created the Edify script from the Amend script in the original post. The problem is the Amend script is not setting the permissions. So when I added that part to the Edify script I was looking at the wrong driver file as the one in the zip file has the incorrect permissions. I have located the driver file in my Evo and update the Edify script to match what is already in my phone. Sorry for the the mistake. Please download the new attached version from my post until MultiDev can update the original post thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
Updated. Thanks again.

That was interesting problem though. The amend version does not require the setting of permissions. The zip (or recovery) automatically set the permissions on all the Evo's I tested it on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smurph82:
if you want I can remove the permission part all together and see if that runs correctly. From what obperryo said neither one of your or my scripts would run. I thought it funny as well. If I get time tonight I will do some more testing. But i am at a lost. The only thing I know left to do is remove the set permissions from the Edify script and try it again. I have never had the permission set automatically for me before.

Edit: Also, that does not mean you aren't connected on n, I am right now as my router is n only, but speed is 52Mbps in this room.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
Higher Mbps is better. Not sure why wifi analyzer would tell you slower is better.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xlxcrossing:
I have a netgear dual band modem and router. When I flashed the zip in my wireless networks I can still only detect the 2.4Ghz g network, not the 5Ghz n.
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
I'm pretty sure the Evo only uses 2.4Ghz spectrum. Wireless n can do both.

Edit: Also, you have to set your router to channel 1,6 or 11 or your phone won't see the signal if you are set to n only, or fall back to g if you have it enabled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxxdc5:
well when you look at the signal meter and 100 is on the left in the black and 40 is on the right in the green.... seems misleading i guess?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
That's signal strength, not speed. That shows how strong of a signal you are getting. The stronger the signal (the greener it is), the better.

As noted in the first post, the Evo can only connect to a 2.4ghz n network. You need to set your router to allow 802.11n on the 2.4ghz band too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxxdc5:
good god......LOL. Yeah I knew I was missing SOMETHING hahahaha.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlxcrossing:
I'm not sure it's capable of doing that...the whole point of dual bands is to free up interference on a different frequency, i.e. 5 ghz. If N and G network were running on the same frequency it would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] runcool:
Someone plz tell me why our Evo's need to have N on it? really? there is no use that our phones can do that could use that much speed. nothing at all. that's why HTC removed it. Plus doesn't it just use more battery life?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nagrom Nniuq:
? Why would you not want to load pages faster, download files faster, stream video, etc? Why did you buy a 4G phone? And no, N doesn't use any more battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
Well, I'm a nerd, so transferring files across my home network is faster on n than it is on g. Just like g is faster than b. We are rapidly approaching the point where g will be the bottleneck with internet connections faster than it is becoming more common. As stated above, why not just use 3g all the time if you don't want more speed? And no, it doesn't use more battery life. Gotta think beyond how just you yourself uses the phone...
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
Not really. There just aren't a ton of devices that are capable of utilizing 5Ghz, (ie. why there is less interference there) our phones included. It's not as if n does not work on the 2.4Ghz band, it's just there is more interference from other devices. Besides, that is the point of dual band isn't it? To run on BOTH bands, not just one. Hence the word "dual"...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlxcrossing:
Nice condescending conduct but I think your the one is doesn't really understand the industry standards for home based wireless signals and how they're adopted. Newer 802.11n Wi-Fi routers allow simultaneous dual band communication with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz clients. By supplying separate network bandwidth for each of the two types of links, these routers provide maximum flexibility in setting up a home network. For example, older 802.11b/g clients can be set to run on the 2.4 GHz side of a simultaneous dual-band router without impacting the performance of 802.11n clients running at 5 GHz.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yznhmr:
I dont think people understand...

in WIFI terms

"B" = 11Mbps @ 2.4 Ghz

"G" = 54 Mbps @ 2.4 GhZ

"A" = 54 Mbps @ 5.0 Ghz

There are 2 types of "N"

"N" is , MIMO (multi path in multi path out) (Where B, G, and A are single path)

"N" comes in 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz

2.4 "N" is 150 Mbps

5.0 "N" is 300 Mbps

Unfortunately most of us have between a 3Mbps and 20Mbps connection to the outside (Internet connection) with our DSL/Cable, So "N" will only benefit us inside the 4 walls for now, meaning the file transfer rate within our houses from our file/media servers and/or desktop pc's.. which most people have 10/100Mbps network switches/hubs on their internal LAN's.. so the fastest you can transfer data within your LAN, is 10/100Mbps (you Lan is as slow as your slowest connection between devices)

So to my point.. "Most" people dont need 5.0Ghz "N" (or called "A-N")

Duel Band would be if you have B,G, and A, on your Router/Access point

Or if you have B,G,N (2.4) and A,N (5.0)...

Make sense?

If this helped you in any way.. please hit thanks!!.. Thanks..
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
Yeah, I'm just a network engineer, so no way I understand it...so why can't you use n again on your phone? You still haven't explained that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] droidcruzer:
Well, here goes.

I have a Linksys WRT610N. It supports separating the connection types. Meaning, I can put the G network on the 2.4 GHz and the N network on the 5 GHz. So, that's what I did. My G network is only G and my N network is mixed for A and N (I didn't know A could connect at 5 GHz, but cest la vie). So, I turned off the 5 GHz completely and selected N only on the 2.4 GHz. When I connected (and I did get connected from my phone), I only got like 2 mbps. When I turned the 5 GHz back on to mixed A and N and turned the 2.4 GHz back to G only, now I get over 5 mbps on my phone. I measured this using the speedtest.net app. Am I missing something? I'm pretty sure turning off the 5 GHz and setting the 2.4 GHz to N only (because I read on here that the phone won't recognize 5 GHz) meant that I was connecting to the N network. So why am I seeing slower times that way? Did I configure my router incorrectly?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
Using speedtest measures your internet speed, which can vary from time to time (including within the time of several seconds, my comcast is erratic at times). It does not measure your speed on your LAN, which is where you will gain the most from enabling n (as most internet connections cannot saturate a full 802.11n connection) .

Whatever you set 5ghz band to doesn't matter. That's a separate band. And 802.11a works only on 5ghz. That's part of the spec.

To test your 802.11n connectivity, set your router to 802.11n only and see if your Evo connects. If it does, the fix has worked correctly for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
The technical details here are correct.

I will add this:

-All recent 802.11n routers come with gigabit switches built in. So even internally on LAN, there are benefits to n. I haven't found an 802.11n router without a gigabit switch. Though, the really early draft n devices probably had fast Ethernet switches (chances are, most people don't have these). 802.11n on the 5ghz does in fact help here (the faster connections allows better use of gigabit), but since the Evo (and most other phones) aren't capable of connecting on the 5ghz band, this is a moot point for this thread.

-Even if you don't need the n transfer speed on your phone, connecting a 802.11g device to an 802.11n/g/b network (on the 2.4 ghz band) causes all devices connected to be slowed to the speed of g device. Or if you running in Greenfield 802.11n-only mode (like I do) for best network performance, your phone can only connect if it supports n, it allows your phone to connect. So its still beneficial to have 802.11n support on your phone so you can maintain n speeds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
I will say that there are a ton of wireless n routers sold today with 10/100 Ethernet switches. If you search Newegg.com for example, you will find a lot of them. More than ones with Gigabit Ethernet actually.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snowpunter:
Wrong.

20 MHz wide N channels are max 150 Mbps

40 MHz wide N channels are max 300 Mbps

You can get 300 Mbps @ 2.4 GHz, though with all the noise in that spectrum doing so becomes difficult in practice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
Whoops, can't believe I missed that. Yeah, 300 mpbs is possible on 2.4ghz through MIMO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dvtmg704:
Does this help WiFi tether
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
Yes, but only a little. It allows tethered devices to connect in n mode. N mode allows greater range, though not sure how useful that is since I usually have my tethered devices very close to me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
i thought with Froyo that this is no longer needed since N support is built in?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
Yes, the Froyo builds add in N support cause Eclair didn't support it.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the gingerbread updates remove n support once again.

Stupid HTC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xlGmanlx:
really? i didn't know that. Don't most GB kernels have it or have i missed looking for that assuming incorrectly?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
Yes, a lot of chefs bake this fix into their ROMs and most custom GB stock-based kernels include this. (I note this in the second post of this thread.)

This fix is for those on the stock ROM. Basically meant for people who have rooted, but do not use a custom ROM or kernel.

Also, there are some popular ROM's that do not include this fix. For example, Fresh Evo's 4.2 ROM does not include this fix and Fresh users would need this fix to get N support.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
I haven't updated to 4.53 myself yet. Been messing 4.24 based kernels.

Judging by your posts, I take it HTC has not added 802.11n support back in yet.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lancemoreland:

It works. I can't exceed 72 mbps connection (according to my router) but it runs and connects and at 72 mbps, means that N is working. Hardware information in the phone still shows 802.11 b/g even though I am exceeding the 54 mbps connection rate.

I have read through the thread. Tried all versions, zip install and manual install. I cant get my wireless N to work. Even worse... I think I am at b speeds. speed test wont go past 1.6 mbps. In the settings it shows 54mbps, but im not even close. A month ago I was at 8mbps... Someone point me in the right direction...please!

running synergy rls1 god mode w/stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aadeleon:
ok... im a fool. speeds were gimped because of my internet connection. Ran a speedtest on my pc and for some reason I was running at 1-2 mbps speeds. Now I am running at the 6mbps speeds my connection is set up for. But i still cant connect to wireless N. I mainly want the increased coverage, not the speeds. Can anyone help still?
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
A speed test is only going to be as fast as your internet connection is and aren't 100% reliable because they only measure your transfer speeds between the test server and you. I also highly doubt your internet speed is anything close to 54Mbps. So I would start there. Are any other computers or services running on your network? Also, wireless is inherently latent. What do you get from the speed test from a wired PC?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aadeleon:
My speed test pretty much matches my service provided. I pay for 6mbps speeds and my wireless is @ 5mbps when i woke up, this morning speedtest was almost 6mbps on my pc. So I completely understand the speeds and i'm good, in general they match somewhat. Last night while trying to get N working, i thought I broke it. The speedtest on my PC confirmed it wasnt me it was my internet speeds in general that night that were slowed down to 1mbps speeds.

My main concern now is coverage and pride (i just want it to work now that i have spent so much time trying). I have 2 routers, one is set for N only and I cant connect to it until i change it to B\G\N. I wanted more coverage in the other rooms and when at the pool or outside in general.
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
Is the N channel set to broadcast the SSID? For whatever reason, this phone will only see an N network if it is set to broadcast. B networks can remain hidden and it will still connect to them. At least that's been my experience. I rooted the phone as soon as I got it, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aadeleon:
yep. It is broadcasting the ssid. My phone sees the router, but it tries to connect then kicks itself off. I kept the settings on the router as default pretty much just put it as wirelless N only. Tried to eliminate any errors on my part due to the settings. It has to be my phone. I am pretty convinced.
[EVO 4G Android Development] silenthatred:
How far into the connection does it get? Does it at least get to obtaining IP address? Also, I assume you are using 2.4Ghz N?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aadeleon:
not too far. I seen it saying that it is "obtaining ip address"... but i dont think it does since it doesnt get past that. just shuts down. I dont know about the Ghz... i will have to check that tonight. I put everything at default, so auto everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aadeleon:
not that far. it says "obtaining ip address", but i dont think it ever does. it just cuts out completely after that and stops. i dont know about the Ghz.... i will have to look into that tonight. Like i said before, everything is defaulted, so pretty much auto everything.

I have also added a FAQ to answer some common questions being asked. Please read that before asking any questions.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Don't worry about that the Ghz. The evo can't even connect on the 5 Ghz band nor can it see any such APs on that band. The chip inside doesn't support it.

If your Evo cannot get further than that, there are usually two things at play. Either the DHCP server on your router isn't working correctly or you haven't whitelisted the Evo on the MAC address filters. Also, make sure you have entered the correct passphrase for your AP/router.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Camicia:
What about support for 4.67? I tried the one currently available on the first post on this thread and it does not work. People report problems (EVO keep connecting and disconnecting evry 2-3 minutes) with 4.67 and Wireless N, I wonder if this could fix the problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I believe the Wireless N fix is posted in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459982

Otherwise, you can just reflash the stock kernel with the mod included: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?11043-KERNEL-OTA-4-67-651-3-Stock-Kernel

However, it should be noted that the issue you're reporting is likely not something that would be fixed by modifying a single module file to allow Wireless N connections.
