[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephm:
I use a linux box to do my DHCPD duties. So far I've tried both mac address based allocation of address and just allowing my TF to get one from the pool - there didn't appear to be any difference between the two.

With the default lease time set to 600 seconds and the max set to 7200 I was getting a request for dhcp renewal every couple of mins :

I then changed the default lease time and the max lease time to 84600 (24 hours) and am getting practically none of these ... only when I turn on my TF since I have the wifi set to disable on screen off. - And obviously I don't see my wifi indicator go grey or loose network connectivity.

My first question is why when the lease time is set to 600 seconds is it making the request after 2 mins ?

It looks to me like it is dropping at least part of its layer 3 config when it goes through this process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike5065:
I have used IP reservations since the very first connection to my router, which included MAC filtering. I have never had my connection drop, at least none that I'm aware of.

Mind you, I buy a new router every year, to improve performance, for better implementations of standards, better compatibility, etc.

Those having issues may want to test another router.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephm:
As long as I set my lease time to 24 hours I have no problems ... trouble is I don't get a say in that on public wifi hotspots ... this should just work ... it's not exactly a complicated protocol.

A renew should just update the expiry time on the lease on the DHCP server it shouldn't trigger a complete layer 3 reconfigure which is what appears to be happening.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
You should be able to find 'tcpdump' for arm. (might be called tcpdump-arm), which is a pretty nice packet sniffer for linux (or whatever it's built for). With that and a tcpdump examples page, (or the man page), you could look over the packets that are going back and forth, but this isn't simple stuff if you're not well versed in what they ought to look like, and even if you are, it's not that easy.

Wireshark, used to be called ethereal, would be much easier, but the only thing I can find out there in the market so far is "shark for root", and "shark reader". These are better than nothing, probably require tcpdump, and might help, but are also just trying to stick tcpdump output into a GUI, which isn't that good.

Maybe if you can find the right tools this becomes a lot easier to at least nail down to a 'bug' or even a 'fix', but without knowing the actual problem in terms of data being passed, these things are tough.

I'm just guessing that somewhere on XDA, there is a sniffer that is better than what I've mentioned and like the others is free. I've not searched around yet.

A different tactic that would also be useful would be to setup a 'hub' or a couple of 'mirrored ports' but then the question becomes " who the hell has this stuff anymore? " It requires , perhaps, Cisco level gear , IOS mirroring commands, or a hub (which are out of 'style'). But with that, you could slap in a laptop running wireshark and do this. Oh crap. I totally forgot that this is wifi, not wired, so the last option isn't good unless you've got a dd-wrt router that will somehow allow all this. DD-WRT is really cool, so it might let you run a good sniffer itself right from the router.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvfl:
I'm in your camp - my lease time is 1 week.

And the answer to this problem most assuredly is NOT 'replace your router' (which coincidentally is also what Asus tech support told me). Next will be 'go ahead and drive to a different public WiFi'.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephm:
I do this stuff for a living and am a fully card carrying geek :) .... my home router is a Cisco 1800, I run a linux server as a DHCP/Mail/Web/anything else I can think of box. tcpdump is pretty straightforward for someone with a modicum of networking knowledge and running with the -w option will save the captured packets in a binary format suitable for opening in Wireshark which makes things even easier. I've already done all this on from the dhcp servers perspective ... the problem doesn't appear to be in the dhcp request/response packets but what the TF actually does with the packets higher up int the TCP stack. In my opinion the way to identify the problem is not more packet tracing but to look at the dhclient code and/or the kernel code in android 3.2 preferably with the diff's against android 3.1.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvfl:
I actually think it got broken in the 3.1 update, FWIW. I ran just fine with my current setup on 3.0.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephm:
I believe mine worked correctly on 3.1 - I have only had mine about 2 weeks so I went straight to 3.1 and then very soon after that to 3.2 but when I upgraded to 3.2 I was on a foreign network so it wasn't a direct comparison.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Wow, a real Cisco router. I'm impressed. If you can afford electricity to run that thing, all is well. I realized after I'd replied that the tcpdump I'd put on my tf was the full featured one, not some android knockoff. It is a good tool.

I read up on the bug report and it seems you're right. I always hope that trouble leaves a telltale. I guess I've escaped it for some reason because I'm on 3.2 and haven't the issue. Probably the problem takes a number of ingredients to occur.

I'm glad the bug is longer an orphan.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] checkbox111:
Just unistall it to good old 3.1 :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlienCraB:
My device also had the same issue with being unable to connect to the wifi, as a different method than the ones suggested earlier,

Just change the password protection method of your router,

Changing mine from WPA / WPA2 to WPA2 solved the problem for me, weirdly enough... :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephm:
Very strange coz that is a lower layer of the connection ... I've never lost the "physical" connection to the wifi just the layer 3 connectivity (the ip address/default route) when using DHCP.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] LockheedX:
Just upgraded my phone and Droid still works, are there any ROMs developed that don't have the radio? I want to be able to use WiFi and Bluetooth, but I don't want it draining the battery looking for cell service that doesn't exist.

Or is there an app or something I can use to disable checking?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thmitsu:
I've been using Airplane mode. Still able to use wifi. Bluetooth starts up, haven't tried pairing with anything yet, tho.

Running both Steel Droid and MIUI.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] KSATMobile:
I would also be interested in anything else out there! Currently running Gingerbread 2.3.7 and would like to hand this thing down to the kid to play games on. Therefore, no cell radio (only WiFi), no BT, etc... I know Airplane mode would probably work OK, but, I'd prefer just to not load them to begin with.

Is there a stripped won ROM out there that would suffice? Hate to see this thing sit on a shelf once my Nexus comes in.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ubermetroid:
I did the same for my kids. The Droid lasted about 3 weeks before the touch screen failed.

I would not let a little kid touch my phone o.0
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numb92:
So, I've rooted and S-off'd now i want to flash a ROM - this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1143456

But one of the first things i have to do, is wipe data/factory reset. But i have the recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM.img recovery image, so when i want to wipe, i get the following options:

- Wipe ALL userdata

- Wipe only /data

- Wipe only /sd-ext

- Wipe only /sdcard/ .android_secure

- Wipe only /cache

- Wipe only Dalvik-cache

- Wipe only battery stats

- Wipe only rotate settings

So when the tutorial tells me to wipe data/factory reset, does it mean "Wipe ALL userdata" or "Wipe only /data"?

I would ask the question in the ROM's thread, but i do not have enough posts to post in the android development area :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
Wiping everything is the recommended procedure for most roms. Wiping only data, for example, leaves data on the sd-ext partition which might result in problems. Basically wipe all in an option which spares you the time to do manually all the wipes necessary to install a ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
If I were you I'd use fastboot to erase boot, system, userdata and cache.. yes the, boot & system files are technically overwritten when you install a new ROM, and everything else is "deleted" (if you choose to delete it from recovery), however it's a more "cleaner" install that way (as in use fastboot to erase boot & system), and most of the time ROMs appear to work better.

You can use several tools with fastboot.. you can use cmd, however commands are specific and it takes a while to learn them (there are a lot of guides, but it takes practise), and there are some software platforms. Personally, I prefer to use fastboot commander as it gives me the most features, it however requires java JDK and android SDK (possible you already have this so check before installing.. if you are going to install it in the first place)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les02jen17:
I've been using Multi-picture LW with GO Launcher and it's working well. Now since GO Launcher doesn't have the option to add Launcher Action buttons/icons in the homescreen, and since I need those to achieve the customization I like, I've been forced to use ADW EX Launcher.

*That doesn't mean I hate using ADW, I just think GO Launcher is more of my cup of tea. :)

Well the thing is, Multi-picture LW doesn't work well with ADW. Whenever I go to a different homescreen, the pictures doesn't change. And when I tried to remove the pics, it gives me a blank screen saying I'm looking at Screen 2, although I'm on a different screen. I try moving to a different screen, it still says screen 2.

Any ideas?

UPDATE!

Here's a screenshot so you'll know what I'm talking about:

Notice that the Screen Indicator clearly says that its in the 3rd screen, but Multi-picture LW says its one the 2nd screen. Weird.

Can someone with original 2.1 please post the whole of the /system/framework so I can use the framework to port apps to 2.3.5 (it needs to odex'd). Then I can post some of the stock apps and widgets (not fm or hidden menu etc though). I cannot unyaffs the recovery of 2.1 as it gives a stack error

You can use this backup of 2.1

but at the moment i cant find social hub anywhere on the web

in order to get it you need a dump of the os so it can be extracted. then you need one of the many intelligent individuals on here to make it compatible w/our phone.

I doubt it will work. I think it's built into the Samsung Framework, that is. Unless someone can port it over to stock Android.

So when i use new stock browser with navigation controls and go to bookmarks, everything is empty. But when i try to rebuild bookmarks I get a message that says bookmark already in use.

Anyone else getting this?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] leo876:
Not sure if this is exactly the same but on my homescreen I had the bookmarks widget whose outline was visible but the bookmarks themselves were invisible. I had to go into my browser "Settings">"General">"Sync" and apply sync with google chrome account for my bookmarks to reappear.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iUser13:
Yes, I have the same issue.:( Creating a new bookmark in a folder (bookmarks/test) works, but creating bookmarks in the root (bookmarks/) directory does not work. But if I try to recreate the bookmark, it says it's already there! I also see (doubled) bookmarks on my Chrome on the PC, so sync works...help appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DocRambone:
TW is a bit strange, if you restore or sync bookmarks they end up in "history"

So to restore bookmarks;

Restore

Go to bookmarks/history.

Press the "stars" 2 times and the bookmarks shows up.

Wipe the history to get rid of the double bookmarks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bert269:
I had the same issue with bookmarks before this rom for GT10.1"

Here is how I solved it.

1) made a TB of your bookmarks before you flash the new rom...(hope it's not too late for some of you)

2) ensure the bookmarks widget is not on some screen (check to make sure its not hidden somewhere - strangely, I have found this phenomena with widgets on GT10.1" - dunno why)

3) flash your rom, after rebooting, ensure the bookmarks widget is not running/loaded/hidden somewhere.

4) restore your TB bookmarks - it will replace what is there/missing/ 'appear to be there'

Hope this helps. Works for me everytime(but sometimes between android release changes, it can be tricky. Then I combine my restore effort with 'my backup pro' and running the two apps restores in different sequenses, get the trick done.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iUser13:
I tried it, but it didn't work. But now, after cleaning the history I'm able to manually create bookmarks in the bookmarks/ root directory (which I wasn't before). But now they don't sync to my PC / Chrome anymore. However, I get very frequent FC on com.google.process.gapps. According to the stacktrace in the failure report this has something to do with the chrome bookmarks sync. So no surprise the sync doesn't work anymore. Anyone else having sync and/or bookmarks trouble?

Edit: I cleared the browsers chace, history and cookies and reset it to default (settings - advanced - reset defaults). After this, creating bookmarks works fine (with touching the star) as it should, but I still get the FC on Google Chrome sync...working on it..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Greg Tolan:
Go to app management and clear the browser's cache, force stop it, clear all defaults...pretty much wipe the app clean. Then start the browser and go into settings and make it sync bookmarks with chrome. They eventually show up...whenever it decides to sync.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iUser13:
It works for me! Thank you, Greg!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rjj1976:
I have lots of bookmarks in Chrome and have been trying for 2 days to get them to sync. I just picked up my tablet and they all there now with all the different folders. I haven't done anything in the last 7 hours so I guess Google fixed something or it just takes forever.

[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Yeah, that's the thing.... that app is HTC only.... but we have Samsung S-II and want dualboot as well.

I'm already brainstorming on how to enhance the actual usability of this, i.e. flashing a 2nd OS directely to it's place instead of first installing it to the main system partition. But there is problems when /data is not mounted to the original partition, at least stock doesn't like it on initial boot.... well, well....
[Galaxy S II General] Tricky103:
That is great. Going to use this for sure. This should be in development for sure.

This is impressive bro sure will use it

but i want to ask one thing

SD card needed for this or not ?
[Galaxy S II General] jackleung:
That would be really cool (and definitely should goes to original development). Does it work with CM7/MIUI + custom rom?
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
No, so far this completely works with all internal storage.

But I have a few ideas I have yet to try to get mounted from other places - like images in /sdcard for example (I *so* hope that'll work.... :D)

exactly what i was hoping for.

great job - pls continue your work
[Galaxy S II General] Tricky103:
Hi i tried this with instanity rom last night. When I use the three buttons to boot it just sits there not booting. My guess is the kernel is not compatible. Unless I made a mistake somewhere.
[Galaxy S II General] HellcatDroid:
Hm, yah, might be that the kernel isn't fully compatible with that ROM, what kernel does the ROM usually use?

Did you boot it up fully at least once before copying /data to /cache ?
[Galaxy S II General] Tricky103:
Yes I did fully boot up. But his kernel didn't have advanced activated in recovery so I flashed your kernel and moved the cache okay. But it said /data not found when I ran the 2nd command line.

I will flash aosp later. I like that rom.

I am not sure what kernel nitr8 uses. I think it is his own, Insane.tar would you like it to see if they can work together.
