[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolidHelix:
I just went back to 1.83 to download the new official 4.5.9.1 OTA and found this in the update-script:

tunein radio

try tunein radio it works fantastic and you can get any station you want and also picks up local using the built in radio so going under ground you won't lose connection which is nice most are just 3g only radios so its nice to have this one
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
CM7 doesn't do FM radio at the moment, same problem as A2DP.

If you install an FM app from the Market it will scan and pick up stations fine (even show RDS) but you get no sound. Just have to wait 'til the HAL arrives.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Just to clarify - we need to wait for LG to open source the hardware abstraction layer code that we need for the drivers for the various modules, eg FM radio, bluetooth etc? None of what nvidia has already open sourced is any use because it doesnt relate to the particular implementation of Tegra 2 as used in the Optimus 2X?

So we need to put pressure onto LG? Just want to make sure that I understand, because I want to email them about it. I think the more of us that email them, the higher the likelihood that something will happen.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
What's needed will come from nVidia, not LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ancalagon_ZA:
Oh. I know nvidia has kernel source for kernel 2.6.36 available right now - we need more than that though right?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yes, as I mentioned it's the lack of HAL that's stopping it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Keltek:
I don't understand this. Please can you clarify this for me?

Why I need something from SoC vendor? Any specifications and references for Tegra2 is public (or you can get it on demand). Source code of Tegra2 Linux kernel is also available.

I still think LG should release the HAL for P990 device where all subdevices connected by I2C bus will be described with all registers and address spaces. But I can be wrong and that's I ask you for clarification :)

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
LG can't release it, it's up to nVidia. The HAL are currently unreleased.

MIUI FM Radio Works in CM7

Hey folks,

Just finished an epic multi-ROM joyride and ended up back on CM7. While I was digging through Titanium backup today, I found the MIUI FM radio apk was still in my backup folder. So I tapped it in Titanium, tapped Run, and sure enough it opened and I was able to tune to any local station I wanted. It uses bluetooth, as it does on MIUI, and you need headphones plugged in like every other FM app, but it works just fine. I've been using Root Explorer to try to shoehorn the app into my system because if I try to install the APK I get an "Application not installed" error. For now, I just open it from TB, but that's not really a sustainable option.
[LG Optimus 2x] paul_cad44:
Sounds promising can you post the apk file, worth a go to get it in the system file
[LG Optimus 2x] harbingerzero:
Here it is. Again, this is the bluetooth FM apk from MIUI rom, restored via Titanium Backup while using CM7 stable on an Evo 4G. It works but I have to open it via TB every time.

Let me know if you get it installed. I think the error results from the fact that it is either unsigned or the signature was lost in the backup process.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Wait, you've been using it on an Evo 4G, a totally different phone to O2X? One that doesn't have missing HAL that lets the sound work on FM radio/bluetooth?

Sheesh.

[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
Last Thursday I installed the 4.010.11 update from Acer and my wifi connection at work worked perfectly for one day. After the first day it switches very slowly back and forth between "Connecting" and "Scanning" but never actually connects. Looking at the active connections on the WAP we can see the MAC address of the tablet trying to connect but it won't do it.

We are using:

EAP method: PEAP

Phase 2: none

CA cert: unspecified

User cert: unspecified

Identity: my username

Anonymous identity:

Password: my password

My co-worker has a Xoom and it connects fine and both of our Android phones connect too.

We did not make any changes to the wireless configuration. The WAP I'm trying to connect to is an HP ProCurve MSM422 AP.

Today I backed everything up and did a factory reset and the A500 still won't connect. The unit connects just fine to all non 802.1x WAPs.

I have not installed the Acer wifi fix since my understanding is that it is rolled into the 4.010.11 update.

I've become pretty reliant on my tablet at work so this is driving me nuts. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
same scenario for me, it appeared on the .08 update and I had hoped the .11 update would take care of this issue. However it didn't.

My Nexus One connects fine to the 802.1x connection. My A500 connects to wpa or open networks without trouble.

I don't use my A500 at work but I wish I could if I wanted to.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
There is a fix for this well known issue on the Acer support site. Download the zip indicated (it's very easy to find), unzip it to your PC, and follow the instructions within.

There are also several threads on this topic that contain other ways to fix the issue, at least temporarily, but the Acer fix is meant to be a permanent one.
[Acer Iconia A500] dude64:
I ran into the same problem after trying to connect to a network that I hadn't yet properly set up. For me a factory restore solved the problem and it hasn't returned so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
The threads on here don't mention 802.1x and my tablet works fine with all the other wireless protocols. The other threads also reported that it would connected and disconnect quickly. My tablet takes several minutes before it switches from "Connecting" to "Scanning" and vice verse.

I have done all the other fixes (double reset, system restore, deleting the DHCP cache (was never there to delete on mine), using static instead of DHCP, etc) and they do not help, not even temporarily. I have not flashed the fix from Acer since the PDF in the patch.zip does not list my newer version as being affected. My understanding, after reading all those other threads, is that the patch is rolled into the .11 update.

I've done a factory restore and it did not help. First thing after restoring I went into my wireless settings and it would not connect. I figured since it worked for a day after doing the .11 update it would at least work temporarily after a restore but no dice.

-

Thanks to the both of you for your suggestions. I may try the Acer patch later today if I have time, I'm stuck in meetings most the day, and will report back. If anyone else has any other ideas I would be very grateful.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I might be a channel related issue. However, what EXACTLY do you mean by 802.1x? Do you refer to 802.11 a/b/g/n? Which one does your router support? IIRC, the A500 supports a/g/n variants only. Not at my tablet right now to check.
[Acer Iconia A500] Chemdog:
Just got done trying the patch (after all the other resets suggested on the Acer website) and it didn't work. According to the documentation with the patch, it is only for versions .07-.09.

I'd also like to add that I use WEP on my home network and I connected without a problem this morning. We also use PEAP here at work, so maybe that's the issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
802.1X is an authentication protocol originally used on wired LAN's for port authentication that is now also often deployed in corporate wifi networks to authenticate wireless client access to the network.

It should not be confused with 802.11 specs for the RF layer.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
OK, I see what you're talking about now. The A500 only supports 802.11 b/g/n. Not sure what you connected to on the first day, but there is no listed support for 802.1X.
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
I'm not sure you've got a handle on the difference yet. 802.11 b/g/n is the wireless LAN spec, 802.1X is an authentication protocol used on top of the 802.11 layer instead of WEP or WPA2/WPA.

My A500, like the OP's, when running 3.0 worked fine on the network with 802.1X EAP authentication. If you are in the presence of a network running 802.1X and attempt to connect you are presented with a menu for information such as the info in the OP's first post. This info may still be entered in 3.1 for the 802.1X EAP network but it is not authenticating in 3.1 like it used to do in 3.0.

I suspect that the A500 is not presenting its entered credentials correctly such that the authentication process can complete.
[Acer Iconia A500] pfc.joker:
I can confirm the Acer offical patch works for .11 (even though it says US .07-.09) - before I couldn't connect at work (PEAP/MSCHAPv2) but WPA and WEP worked fine - after patch 802.1x EAP worked great.

Tested on US 32gb 4.010.11_COM_GEN2
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
well I installed the patch and will report tomorrow on the results...
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
Well the wififix patch is not effective in correcting the issue I have at work with 802.1x networks. Patch installed last night and this morning the a500 will not connect.

Guess this is another issue Acer is deficient in testing.

I also tried the double reset just to make sure that it wouldn't by chance have any effect. No connect results.
[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
To answer FloatingFatMan the WAP has two antennas which can be set independently. Right now one is set for b/g and the other for n. As was previously stated 802.1x is an authentication protocol and has nothing to do with speed. In our case it allows wireless users to be authenticated through Active Directory instead of using a password like WEP or WPA.

I'll try the Acer patch today and see if I have any better luck than rvholland.
[Acer Iconia A500] Chemdog:
I have the same version as pfc.joker (just the 16GB model), but I got the same results as rvholland. Went home and worked fine but at work it's borked. I haven't been able to find anything useful on the web regarding this. Anyone talked to Acer about it? I'm afraid they are going to charge me $100 for the call.
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
4.010.13 doesn't help

My a500 updated late yesterday to 4.010.13 and even though there was reference to some wifi tweaks it does not improve the situation I'm having on 802.1X authenticated wifi. :(

Retried this morning at work and the same results of scanning-connecting-disconnected and then followed by simply staying at scanning for a long time.

There is never any mention of 'obtaining ip address'. I doubt its ever connecting far enough to communicate with the dhcp server.
[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
I received the 4.010.13 update last night and hoped it would fix the issue but like rvholland I too still cannot connect to the wireless at work. Hopefully a fix is found soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
Same thing here. Watching the connections on the WAP it looks like the A500 tries to connect but hangs on the authentication and therefore never gets to the point where the DHCP server can assign an IP.
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
My first query via online support from Acer was not helpful. They suggested the same old "use 4.010.10" update about wifi issues or "use the patch" answer.

Perhaps the second round will get someone to read the actual explanation of steps already taken before replying with the steps for a different problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
Thanks for taking the time to check in with Acer. We only have a few weeks before school starts and have a lot of projects that need to be done before the students come back so I have very little time to look into this right now. I sure hope you can get a hold of someone that actually realizes this is a separate wireless issue and is not fixed with .10 or the wifi patch on their website.
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
acer response is that the issue has been escalated to a higher level of support, wait for response so we'll see what we get...
[Acer Iconia A500] rg1003:
Same experience here. I could connect at work (802.1X authentication ) with my tablet until the very fist 3.0 update. No dice since then. I have not tried the patch because I am on .13 and

1. Acer's instructions did not list my OS as an affected version

2. I would assume that a version of the OS that came out after the patch would already include it.

I have no issues connecting to any other wifi network (never had). Guess I should consider myself lucky....:confused:

Has anyone found that applying the patch to .13 makes a difference?
[Acer Iconia A500] Chemdog:
Well, I took the easy way out... I exchanged my A500 for a new one since I had only have it for a week. I'm now leaving it on 3.0.1 until I hear that this problem is completely resolved. I don't want to get stuck with partial usage again.

Good luck getting it working, I'll keep an eye out for the solution.
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
this, unfortunately, is a known issue on all honeycomb tablets :/ some connect, some don't, little rhyme or reason, on the transformer, xoom, iconia, all of them. Several sport tickets have been submitted over this issue, so hopefully google will fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
Are you specifically referring to 802.1x authenticated networks or the more generic wifi issue?

My tablet is fine on open/wep/wpa/wpa2 secured networks which appears to be the same for the others reporting in this thread.

Acer's latest response from yesterday is " by the end of this week a new update will be available for the version 4.010.13. You will also get a notification regarding the same in your computer when it is available. Please update the same and check whether the issue is resolved or not."

So we wait and see...
[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
I am referring to specifically 802.1x networks that use EAP, such as many businesses and colleges. And the problem isn't on just honeycomb, they are posts everywhere for droid x's, feel streaks,motorola xooms, most all of them. And for almost all of them they connected once for a short time, and that was it. My college uses something similar to EAP, but requires us to log in as soon as we try to load a page instead of as soon as we try to connect, and that works well
[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
I got mine working! I downloaded a free program from the market called WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor and poked around. After unchecking Hidden SSID from the main configuration menu and then under Enterprise Configuration re-entering my password my WiFi started working. I've tested it on multiple WAPs on our network and so far so good. If someone else can download the program and see if making either of those changes fixes it for you let us know.

WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor:

[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
Good find! Now I just need to find a network to test it on. . . My college uses a mutilated version of EAP that actually works lol so its hard to test.
[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
I'm not really sure why changing either of those things would make a difference but it worked for me. I'm really curious what works for others and if someone has an explanation that would be great. I know after unchecking Hidden SSID and then going back into the settings later it was checked again. I don't like the solution since so far, to me at least, it doesn't make sense but it worked and I'm happy I can use my tablet at work again.

I did notice that in my wpa_supplicant.conf file the network now has a line with my password in it (in open text too) which it did not have before.
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
Using wifi ace and unchecking hidden ssid and entering password also got a connection for me today.

I ran across a thread somewhere where someone inspecting his radius logs found his password was in quotes when it shouldn't have been.

Perhaps something like that is going on and entering the password via wifi-ace avoids this problem.

My supplicant file doesn't appear to contain anything related to the password. Unless there is a different directory to look at besides etc/wifi/.

I'd rather not have to do this trick either but at least it is a work-around for now.
[Acer Iconia A500] _tachy_:
That's actually the problem. The password is not being propagated to the wpa_supplicant.conf. When I hit the issue, I manually edited the specific network configuration and added a line "password=my_password" into wpa_supplicant.conf (while WiFi was turned off).

Haven't had any connection issue ever since.
[Acer Iconia A500] Wilda:
I had to add my tablet to a new network today and just re-entering the password in WiFi ACE fixed it. No need to uncheck Hidden SSID.

The wpa_supplicant_conf file is in /data/misc/wifi.

With WiFi ACE it is saving my password like this:

password="mypassword"​

You would think this would be an easy fix for Google and or Acer so hopefully we'll see this corrected soon in an update.
[Acer Iconia A500] rvholland:
Perhaps my a500 not being rooted or the app I use, ES File Explorer, keeps me from seeing anything in the /data directory. Whatever the reason I see no files or directories in /data so I can't check the password being there.
[Acer Iconia A500] _tachy_:
You need to have root in order to see any files there.
