Hi guys.

I'm pretty new to android os and maybe someone more experienced might want to have a look at this. It might help regarding this topic.

So there is this process that's not displayed in the GB running processes window called "FlexProvider". I installed "SystemPanel App / Task Manager" and in the processes window there is this process listed there. It reads:

Thought this might help. Have a nice day.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
Hi, I resurrect this thread just to share a workaround I made to keep controlled the DataTracker-FD process.

I've been using APNDROID and it works but I really dont like to use apps to patch system issues, so i made a service that runs a script every time the data connection is turned off, the script kills the phone.apk and stops DataTracker-FD, the phone app then restarts but DataTracker-FD keeps stopped.

So first you need to open your boot.img and on your init.rc or on the init.thunderg.rc put this at the end of the file:

# DataTracker-FD workaround by RoQ
service dtfix /system/bin/dtfix
disabled
oneshot

on property:gsm.defaultpdpcontext.active=false
start dtfix

This creates a service that executes a script every time when data connection is turned off

Then we need the script, just create a file with the name "dtfix" on system/bin/ and give it full permissions, inside the file put this:

#!/system/bin/sh
# Kills phone.apk and stops DataTracker-FD

PHONEKILL="$(ps | grep com.android.phone | awk '{print $2}')"

kill $PHONEKILL

And thats it, now every time when you turn data off, the service will kill the phone app and with that stops DataTracker-FD, the phone app will restart automatically so you just will see your phone without signal for a few seconds
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mrmaffen:
i also have the infamous fd bug and couldnt find a fix for this issue yet. i will try your workaround roqu3. installed it 3 hours ago and from what i can see until now, it really seems to work :). thanks for sharing your solution
[Optimus One, P500, V General] yanuk:
Roqu3: any layman way to do this like installing an apk?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
Sorry, no idea
[Optimus One, P500, V General] indigobv:
Roqu3: Let's say I add the service and the script. I turn on data and browse the internet then I turn it off, in that moment the phone network will restart and turn off DataTracker-FD. But what happens if I turn data on again, will then DataTracker-FD start or not?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
Yes, data tracker is on when data is on, the bug is that when data is off data tracker keeps on and drains battery very fast
[Optimus One, P500, V General] indigobv:
I don't know why, but I couldn't make it work. The connection doesn't restart when I turn off data connection. I think the service doesn't keep running or the trigger doesn't work. I tried the way you posted, then I modified it like this:

# DataTracker-FD workaround by RoQ
service dtfix /system/bin/sh /system/bin/dtfix.sh
disabled
oneshot

on property:gsm.defaultpdpcontext.active=false
start dtfix

And I saved the script as dtfix.sh, also I tried by removing "oneshot", thinking that it may keep the service running, but either way I tried, it doesn't restart the connection after I turn off data.

If I try to run the script manually it does work, the connection stops for a moment then it comes back like it should.

I've tried adding it into init.rc then init.thunderg.rc. Maybe it needs to be somewhere upper and not at the bottom of one of them.

There is something that I am confused about and maybe I misinterpreted; when you said "every time the data connection is turned off", you were talking about unchecking "Data enabled" from Settings Menu. That is the what this trigger means: "gsm.defaultpdpcontext.active" , right? Because I couldn't find anywhere what that means, so I thought maybe I am doing it wrong.

The ROM I used to do this is N2-CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC0-OptimusOne-KANG.

L.E. I forgot to ask, is there any way to check if it does work, other than to look if the connection restarts? Maybe it works without restarting and I didn't notice.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Roqu3:
Never tried it on cm7, I only use it on my custom v20h.

I got that property using getprop when connection on and off then comparing both that was the property with difference. I really don't know why it doesn't work, maybe that property is only for stock lg and cm have another one.

I was using cm7 for new baseband last week and never experienced this bug. Are you sure you have it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] indigobv:
I thought it cannot be removed so I assumed it is in every ROM. Now that i think about it I don't think I have this bug. Thanks anyway for your help.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ben756:
I see this has become quite a long thread, but for those coming in from search engines and such:

I had the problem with the battery on my LGP500 draining as much as 30% over an 8 hour night, and the phone showed it was awake constantly. Using better battery stats i discovered datatracker-FD to be the culprit. This problem seemed to have just started on its own, i dont remember changing any settings that could have caused it.

Disabling fast dormancy as now described in the opening post works for me, altough i had to change it 3 or 4 times in the secret menu before it 'stuck'. Last night the battery drained 10-15% during about 8 hours of idle, which is pretty normal afaik.

During these tests i had do 'battery saver' application or other 3rd party network switcher enabled - just the stock android system configured to disable wifi when screen off. Mobile data was set to 2G/3G automatic mode. Network coverage is generally good in this location though, some sporadic dips in signal but noting difficult.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Actually, if you use APNdroid + Tasker (if you need 3G to be toggled based on conditions), you may get better battery life - mine only uses about 5% per night, although this may not be related to completely disabling fast dormancy.

TEMP ROOT Instructions:

Download http://tinyw.in/1lI

Unzip if required and put in your ADB folder

Launch command prompt and navigate to your ADB folder

adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/

adb shell

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF (if this doesn't work, try rebooting phone)

Download these 2 files here and put them in your ADB directory: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14927732#post14927732

exit back to command prompt if you aren't there already

adb push Superuser3-beta1.apk /data/app/

adb push su-3.0-alpha7 /data/local/tmp

adb shell (should now see # instead of $)

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7

./su-3.0-alpha7

cd /

mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /

rm vendor

mkdir vendor

mkdir vendor/bin

cat /data/local/tmp/su-3.0-alpha7 > /vendor/bin/su

chmod 4755 /vendor/bin/su

You now have temp root. Disregard any notification about outdated SU binary. Root will go away if you reboot. If you reboot your phone you can obtain root again by just running the following

adb shell

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF

adb shell (should now see # instead of $)

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7

./su-3.0-alpha7

cd /

mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /

rm vendor

mkdir vendor

mkdir vendor/bin

cat /data/local/tmp/su-3.0-alpha7 > /vendor/bin/su

[EVO Shift 4G General] Rooster85:
Type su and see if it gives you root permissions

Sent from my MiuiSpeedy
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
says su: not found.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tokuzumi:
You are saying you cannot install the superuser app? From reading in the Evo3D forums, you could install Superuser, even without being rooted, but it obviously won't allow root access, until you run a root exploit.

Try rebooting the phone, installing superuser, run fre3vo, and then try the adb shell, and su method.

This is getting interesting. Hopefully you are on to something.
[EVO Shift 4G General] FdxRider:
Looks hopeful!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Okay let me clarify

I can install SU but it wouldn't install the binaries. I did all of the above. Says su: not found.

I then tried something else.

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su

# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

I was then able to get the SU binaries to install but Titanium Backup says:

"Busybox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root: "whoami" reports "app_135" instead of root/uid 0.

then su from the command prompt was saying "link_image[1935]: 3160 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE" and now back to su: not found again....
[EVO Shift 4G General] tokuzumi:

[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
Well here's a tweet he put out a couple of hours ago.

@agrabren: For those with the SHIFT, it's a known bug in my code that we missed the address. One too many zeroes in the list. I'll try to fix it soon.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Yeah he posted that right after I gave him the memory address for the exploit. Just means that I did it the manual way through debugging. At least I think so... hopefully soon!
[EVO Shift 4G General] minneyar:
Good news, everybody! I have successfully acquired temp root on my Shift!

First, fre3vo has to be pointed at the right address. After copying it over to my phone, I did "adb shell" and then ran it like so:

/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF

That printed out a message that it found an exploit and kicked me out of the shell. After doing "adb shell" again, I got a command prompt. I tried installing the 2.3.6.3 version of Superuser, but it complained about being unable to install "su"; I tried to find a separate su binary and copy it over manually, but it didn't work due to a linker error.

After searching around, I found a beta version of Superuser 3:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14927732#post14927732

First I uninstalled the old version of Superuser and then used adb to install the new one from that thread. I ran it and it said it was unable to install su, so I downloaded the version of su provided there and installed it manually. The process went something like:

adb push su-3.0-alpha7 /data/local/tmp
adb shell
# cd /data/local/tmp
# chmod 4755 su-3.0-alpha7
# ./su-3.0-alpha7
# mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /system
# cat su-3.0-alpha7 > /system/bin/su
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

I don't know if explicitly running "./su-3.0-alpha7" is necessary, it just seemed like a good idea at the time. I don't know if everybody's block device will be named "mmcblk0p26", I used "mount" to figure out what was mounted at /system.

Anyway, after all that was done, I ran Superuser again and it didn't complain. To test it out, I started up Wireless Tether. It asked me for superuser permissions, which I granted it, and it's working fine.

Root successful!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Hero 4g:
Good job!!

Sent from my Speedy HTC EVO shift on XDA Premium app
[EVO Shift 4G General] Kevets:
I followed those steps exactly and got what I would call a partial root. Some of the 'you need root' errors are gone but "su" still results in 'not found' even though "mkdir su" results in 'file exists.'

mmcblk0p26 exists on this unit.

The weirdest part is that Adfree will accept the device as rooted and with superuser but says it can't find a partition to modify. And after a reboot root is definitely gone.

I think you're on to it but it isn't quite there yet.
[EVO Shift 4G General] minneyar:
It seems to be fully temprooted to me; I have to redo it if I reboot, but otherwise it's working perfectly. After following the steps I listed above, running "ls -l /system/bin/su" should produce this output:

# ls -l /system/bin/su
ls -l /system/bin/su
-rwsr-xr-x root root 22228 2011-07-25 19:14 su

If it says "No such file or directory" instead, then the su binary isn't in the right place.

Looking back over what I wrote, I think I left out a step -- if you were following what I listed exactly, it probably won't work, because I forgot to change to the /data/local/tmp directory. I'll update that...

Update: after playing around with it for a while, something is definitely not quite right. Everything works fine at first; I've tested Wireless Tether and Titanium Backup and they're both fine. After leaving my phone for a while and coming back, though, applications that try to get root access mysteriously fail. The dialog prompt doesn't even appear.

Going back into the adb shell, /system/bin/su is still there, but trying to run "su" causes this to happen:

# su
su
link_image[1935]: 3802 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

But if I use cat to overwrite su and then chmod it again, everything works. su must somehow be getting modified by something else and replaced with a bad version... but I'm not sure where to look.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Kevets:
I caught something like that.

I think there should be a chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7 after cd /data/local/tmp
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
YES! I have root! I was able to install a screenshot app and test it :) this is amazing progress! Thanks for that.

So now when I reboot, you have to do the entire thing again? SU and all?
[EVO Shift 4G General] minneyar:
Yes, every time you reboot you'll have to redo the whole process, including running fre3vo and then copying su into /system/bin. Hopefully somebody will figure out a permanent root soon.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Wow those SU binaries are disappearing before I even reboot! Already gone and I haven't rebooted the phone
[EVO Shift 4G General] Kevets:
I think I had that issue too. I just couldn't believe the files just disappeared and thought I did something wrong somewhere.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
