I do not have Phoneweaver installed but have the same issue. My wifi is stuck in "turning off" state.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Uninstall all the updates of Google Maps
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LordNickerchen:
Thanks for the reply - but what is the reason that Google Maps interacts with the Wifi connection?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gf_gollum:
How about Locale - or another similar app that waits for changes in Wifi status and "does stuff" - or that manages wifi on/off by time?

Just wondered if it was a clash between competeing apps for the same trigger events?

Anyway - I'm now without Phoneweaver - and Revolver / Clemsym is working as expected for me now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
two more things to save wifi power

- uncheck preferences / network / "search for free wifi ap"

and

- wifi tx power is set to 32 dBm (=1.6Watt) by default every time wifi is switched on

get iwconfig binary

iwconfig wlan0 tx 11dBm

sets wifi transmission power to 12mW instead of 1.6W (32dBm default)

there is an market app to set it automatically permanent (to 4, 11, 18 or 32 dBm) or it can be done with cron
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SoulReaver75:
This look like a very interesting tip.

I'll try it!

At home my access point is not so far, so a lower wi-fi power should be ok anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
that's the point, tx power 14dBm is standard on netbooks, thats far from 32dBm

i think iwconfig is not included in the asus roms, you'll have to look in other android roms for it, its statically compiled anyway
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Thanks for your tips mate, I will test them :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SoulReaver75:
I'm looking for the market app... what's the name?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
"wifi tx power" is the name
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SoulReaver75:
Found, thanks. :)

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

Yep, the program says:

"sh: iwconfig: not found"
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
as i said before you need the binary from a rom that has it

edit: extract the .tar archiv and

put it to /system/xbin/

and chmod 755
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fear_factory84:
same problem for me, open youtube.com on stock browser, you will be redirected to m.youtube.com, choose a random video, browser chrash.

logcat say that's a gl error.

quacktop tried that on prime 2.0.2 and this problem is not present, so it's a revolver issue.

Anyone has the same problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SoulReaver75:
I tried.

I've been redirected to m.youtube.com, but then everything works.

Edit: forgot to say that my agent is in tablet mode, so m.youtube.com is normal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] scottyf79:
Stock browser is loading as it should (desktop agent) for me but it could not handle a 1080p movie trailer on you tube. Generally dont use the stock browser anyway so no biggy.

Does it fixes anything other than user agent?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Nop, but this fixes solved all my problems with the browser

WiFi Not Sleeping

Hello,

It seems the issue with WiFi still active even with the new v 3.5.2.

1. I just installed 3.5.2 with full wipe without the TF revolver parts and set up the WiKi policy to go off when screen is off. Run a 10 minutes test and it weems wifi did not go to sleep in that time.

2. Installed TF revolver parts and configures WiFi sleep time to 5 minutes with WiFi policy configure on Turn of when screen is off and run same 10 minutes test and WiFi still not sleeping.

3. tried with Blades Kernel and did same procedure and same thing happend, wifi is not sleeping.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] homerino85:
But about browser syncronization ??? when google solve it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] georgica81:
i was on prime - it was ok, but wifi disconnects. switched to revolver - great functionalities, faster (or at least that was my impression), but wifi disconnects. switched to ARHD - the fastest, and the wifi disconnects were almost not there (it still happened ocasionally). switched back to revolution for the new rom (and especially for supernote) - amazing speed with no OC, but unfortunately more frequent disconnects. it is not kernel related (in my opinion), since I've been using clemsyn on all, and now I'm on the stock kernel (still waiting for some OC kernel based on the latest ones), but something in the ROM that both roach and gnufabio are doing and mike1986 is not. i have the wifi disconnects ONLY on "funky" networks (802.1x, not on wep, wpa/2). "funky" networks are usually either corporate, either college/university networks. so uninstalling the updates for google maps doesn't work and it's not the overclocking either (since I'm on the stock kernel). it must be something in the rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LordNickerchen:
If you're right and university wifi (eduroam/801.x) doesn't work - i'll have to go back to stock...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] magicdave26:
I actually like the fact that WiFi stops when the screen is off

If I am doing anything that needs constant wifi, I want my screen on anyway, and just plug it in.

Before this ROM I was using Airplane Mode App anyway :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] georgica81:
it works, but it disconnects randomly. it even happens as I am using the tablet (I remember I couldn't download a 300MB+ file, because it was getting disconnected somewhere in the middle). most of the times, I wake the tablet and it is not connected and the wifi cycles - connecting, disconnected, scanning etc. until I turn it off and turn it back on and it connects right away.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LordNickerchen:
OK, so there's the choice between stock ROM and Prime until it's fixed here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
He said he had the same bug on Prime..I will have a talk with roach about this issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LordNickerchen:
Sorry - i meant ARHD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
Fabio,

if you ever decide to lower the wifi tx power, please make it optional.

I'm happy with the high tx because in my bedroom it just works fine...

@Gnufabio

I've been using Revolver rom since the first build and I like it very much. thanks for all your efforts.

however, I never get a smooth home screen without an OC kernel. Since you keep saying that it's smooth with stock kernel, and there are other users confirming, I believe I have an application which causes high CPU usage.

And I believe that is one of the widget apps on my home screen. Because, the device is not smooth even when I boot it fresh.

How can I find the app which causes high CPU usage ? Is there an application like "task manager" on Windows ?

thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

in fact, there is a generic mistake that I made on all strings so I'd liketo correct it on all. But I don't know all strings. Can you just point me to the address that I had posted these translations ? (URL)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Man, those pictures are not of the same version of the ROM, and also with Revolver you can toggle the battery icon. It's perfectly stable.

Widgets often cause lags, try to remove them all :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LordNickerchen:
Which kernel do you use, and which settings? Thx in advantage :)

@gnufabio: Your ROM is really good, especially the app Revolver Parts. Of course i hope that the wifi disconnection-issue will be solved, but i'm pretty sure there'll be a solution. Keep up the good work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] htabbach:
I would like to thank the developer for a great ROM. However, since the latest update the tablet seems slow and a bit choppy, wifi is a bit unstable and I cannot connect to ad-hock networks anymore, did I have to wipe everything for the latest update?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Reflash the full rom, it will solve

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
so there's no application to see which app uses most CPU ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ajamils:
Yes, there is. Try CPU SPY from the market.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Thanks, I will include it in the next update.

No wipe ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] htabbach:
Thank you for the response, I will do that. One last question, what is the best kernel to use with this ROM? Stock or custom? and if custom, which one is the best?

Thanks again!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
Stock is the best IMHO
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
are you sure that's cpu spy ?

because allI find with that name is :

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
cpu spy is a "time-in-frequency statistics" program, not cpu usage per application.

you can use "top" on the command line or something like "quick system info" from market which shows cpu usage per process
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LordNickerchen:
+1 Tested some kernels and stock is the most stable one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ajamils:

User Agent in browser doesn't always work

Hi there!

I'm havin trouble with some websites that get shown as their mobile versions despite having set the user agent in dolphin to "desktop"

There is a patch for this problem for Prime:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18053134&postcount=469

This one also works for Revolver but will make the rom appear as a non-revolver rom to revolver parts.

I'm guessing it won't be too hard to apply the same patch to the revolver files.

Can anybody do this?

EDIT:

Ok, apparently a patch is already out there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ajamils:
Flashed full version of 3.5.2 and did not get the FC at start up and everything was smooth until I started watching a movie and same FC message showed up. The error states:

Any feedback is really appreciated. Thanks to woti23 for his tips.

To remove it just do this from the terminal emulator:

my VPN works fine. I just had to remove /system/bin/ip (again)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
just to add: reconnecting to wlan sets it back to 32dBm, "wifi tx power" from market app makes it permanent and lets you choose different powersettings including setting to default.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
please, please, just don't make it default.

at least if you do, just let us know so that we can disable it.

thx.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
it does nothing without installing the market app, as at the time the init-script runs wifi is not activated yet.

the second part has nothing to do with wifi, it defrags the databases according to sqlite3 manual.

phone weaver idea incorrect

I just had a recurrence of my tablet locking with the wifi saying "turning off" again even though phone weaver is no longer installed.looks like I was a bit too quick to blame the app.good to get confirmation that others have the same problem though.

Any ideas as to how to fix?

You should always do a full wipe when switching between ROMs. It's definitely worth it, in my opinion. This ROM is pretty great.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bazzz66:
Strange question maybe....

Would it also be possible make the wifi stronger? It will consume more energy, but would it pick up weaker signals?

When laying in my backyard, I have to turn my TF in a special way to get a working wifi signal, it is very weak in my lounge corner.

Hey gnufabio

i (hope) i have commited a translation change on:

http://crowdin.net/translate/revolver-rom/resources.xml/en-da

The "Rebooting your tablet..." should be "Genstarter", not "Genstarer" in danish :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
no "tx" alone works as well.

but as said before this script does nothing anyway as at the time it is run, wifi is not active and cannot be set.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

no you can't without altering firmware

and this is not about receiving signals that are weaker.

its about reacting on received signals from access point.

also note that there are regulations for signalstrength emmitting in US and EU for example - which effects AP and wlan-client.

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

i have tested both policies: "Never" and "Off while Sreen Off".

both work as expected for me, with "Never" i loose about 1% power/hour when screen off over night, with "Off while Screen Off" about 0,1%/hour over night (doing nothing).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SoulReaver75:
Did you try "never when connected"?

If I set it and leave my transformer playing an online radio, after few minutes (I think the amount set in revolver parts) wi-fi stops anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
no i can ping the transformer after 10 min when playing music and screen off and

- revolverparts 300 s timeout

- wifi policy set to "Never, when connected to AC"

just to clarify: with "connected" you mean "AC charging" (which it is) not "connected to wifi"?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SoulReaver75:
Uhmm... good question.

"never when connected" is one of the 3 options available. In my mind it was something like "don't disconnect wi-fi after timeout if it is connected and transmitting/receiving data", but probably it means "never disconnect wi-fi if power is connected".

I'm using it in italian and "to AC" is missing in the translation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
please anyone correct it but this is what i thought until now:

policy

0 when screen off wifi disconnects

1 never gets disconnected if charging

2 never gets disconnected neither when charging nor when discharging

correspondending policy settings 0,1,2

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "Select * from system" |grep wifi_sleep_policy

68|wifi_sleep_policy|1
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidelong:
It seems to me that a sure way of finding out whether there is a wifi disconnection problem is to stream video, e.g. using iPlayer. My wifi seems ok for much of the time, but I can't sustain streaming video for more than 2 or 3 minutes without it being interrupted by a wifi disconnect. It reconnects in typically 30 secs, but by then the damage has been done. This is an irritating problem to say the least.

I am on 3.5.2 with no change in kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jtrosky:
Is it possible that there is more than one type of wifi radio in different models of the transformer? I see so many people with these wifi-disconnect issues regardless of ROM or kernel. And yet there are others (myself included) that have never had wifi issue on any ROM. I'm just wondering if we are dealing with different hardware or something....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
It must be an hardware problem. I have

never

had problems with wifi or with the device deep sleep
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
maybe there is also the misunderstanding with the wifi policy "Never ..."

0 DISCONNECT when Screen Off

1 KEEP CONNECTED when powered with AC/DC adapter

2 KEEP CONNECTED always, even when not powered with AC/DC and battery is uncharging
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jtrosky:
The more I think about it, I wonder if it's actually dependant on what type of Wifi router you have or maybe something to do with a particular configuration (WPA vs WPA2, etc).... There are so many types and configuration of wifi routers out there - it could be anything. But, being that some folks have never had an issue, I can't believe it's ROM or kernel related...

WiFi disconnect and/or Deep Sleep issues

After reading this thread I decided to do a little testing and found that using my old Linksys WRT54GX4 router(802.11G) I experienced 2 WiFi disconnect problems over a 60 minute period. With my neighbors concurrence I did more testing by connecting to his Netgear WNDR3400 dual band wireless router. I streamed a video for just at about 10 minutes with no issues or disconnects and his router is located over 100 feet from my TF. I then tested it on my Linksys E4200 router that has simultaneous dual-band N (2.4 & 5 GHz). I streamed the same video for 10 minutes with no issues or disconnects. I’m not an engineer with in-depth experience in this area but I definitely think it boils down to a hardware issue. I have no doubt that we may have different brand antenna arrays within our TFs and that could very well be the origin of some of the problems being reported. On the other hand as jtrosky points out it could well be a minor router to TF configuration issue that is the root cause. Not sure if we will ever solve this one but I would definitely bet against it being ROM or kernel related.

For information purposes I’m running Revolver 3.5.2 with a stock kernel. Lucky for me I have not had any of these WiFi disconnect or device doesn’t deep sleep issues. I just wish I could help those of you that are having issues to get them fixed because we all need to be able to fully enjoy our TFs. Have a fantastic day all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woti23:
another hint would be:

installing wifi analyzer (market), to look for overlapping APs on the same channel from the neighbourhood and or the best channel for the own signal strength from the AP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jtrosky:
Good point - it could be as simple as switching channels on your wireless router. I remember working with the DD-WRT folks because the WRT-610N was having random reboots - the problem was that if you were using a "busy" wireless channel, it would reboot randomly. If you used an un-used channel, all was fine. In the end, the developer of the firmware fixed by setting the wrt-610n to ignore interference or something like that ("wl -i eth0 interference 0"). That command "fixed" the issue - it took us months to find that!
