Thanks. Those were useful. Can you make screenshots of all the networking and wireless settings-related pages on your Wireless router/access point? Then zip the images up and post them here. Block out any personal info first.

Next time just zip the files up instead of cutting stuff out.

temporary power socket fix

[QUOTE=< snip>

In the meantime the DC input jack on my tablet broke (after disassembly I'm a little shocked at how poorly it was attached in the first place) so I'm trying to re-mount that which has slowed down my testing. I've been trying to get a dock as a charging alternate but despite ordering one 10 days ago from merimobiles I've heard nothing from them. If anyone else has any clever ideas I'm all ears.<snip>

Whilst waiting for my dock made a temporary socket fix. The center pin fell out of the power socket.

I found that Romex single core house wire center conductor fits snug inside the charger plug.

I chopped a length of conductor just long enough to stick out of the plug about an eighth inch when pushed inside the center. To be clear I am talking the charger plug not the tab socket. I filed a point on one end of the piece of conductor using sandpaper.

I pushed the blunt end into the plug. The sharp end sticks out far enough to engage in the hole where the pin broke off. Bingo - it charges! Caution the charger plug is now live at the tip. Plug into tab before connection to mains outlet. If you put the modded plug in your mouth and switch on, you will find the safety feature of the original design is no longer effective!

Good luck!

Change the lease time to 60 mins and reboot the router.

Reboot the gTab also and get me the logs as before.

Also I still need to look at some other WiFi settings. Can you connect to the router using a browser and see if there are any settings that you haven't sent me yet?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgingermany:
Hey raj, I'm sorry for being such a dumb ass but I was trying to use terminal emulator to run the commands you suggested and its not letting me. I then tried root explorer to see if I could simploy edit the xbin but it wont let me even open it because it says the file is too big and it opens up in code which I cant read or make out.... Am I being a noob? Thanks for any further assistance
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Root Explorer is a kludgy piece of software. I can't believe that it let you edit a directory (xbin) directly.

Steps.

1. Install busybox (for awk) from market if you don't already have it.

2. Copy the contents of the file in my post into a file, let's say, called batt.awk on your PC. Make sure that when your editor saves the file, it saves it with Unix line-endings (LF only) and not MS-DOS line endings (CRLF).

3. Make a directory called /data/local/bin on the gTab and give this directory 755 permissions (owner & group = root).

4. Copy batt.awk into /data/local/bin and make it executable.

5. Run a Terminal Emulator (Jack Palevich's app adds /data/local/bin to the PATH), and run batt.awk as:

$ [B]batt.awk[/B]

OR

$ [B]/data/local/bin/batt.awk[/B]

6. If your battery maxes out at 96% (or 98%, or 102%, or whatever) instead of 97% as it does on mine, either edit batt.awk and change MAXBATT= or do it on the command line:

$ [B]batt.awk -v MAXBATT=96[/B]

My Install

So I was excited about this upgrade because the original was so great and I've been very happy with it. I was set to go the day after it came out and then I started seeing all this scary stuff about issues. Given that GoJimi is sometimes more like GhostJimi, I wondered if there were all these issues how long before he might get back to it. I sure didn't want to be messing around with downgraded blobs, and other arcane stuff - especially since the 7.0.0 version was working so good for me. I waited until yesterday and then made a Titanium Backup of my apps and then a backup of the ROM. I elected to leave this tablet on boot loader 1 because the new ROM was available for both boot loaders. I copied the zip file to a folder on my tab that I have called INSTALL. Next I booted into clockworkmod and used Calkulins wipe script to format stuff. I also ran the clockworkmod menu selections to wipe stuff including the advanced one to clean out the dalvik cache. Finally I told it to install from a zip file I selected. I went to my Install directory and pointed at the 7.1 version. It ran the install. Rather than let it reboot I forced power off so it was down completely. Then I rebooted it. It didn't take long to start and it came up relatively fast. I went through the google setup and had to stop so I could set up wireless. Once that was going I finished the google setup and everything looked good. I downloaded Titanium backup from the market and then started restoring my apps. For most of them I restored the app only except for a few games that I didn't want to start from scratch. I only restored apps (no system settings) and I took that opportunity to leave a few clunkers behind. I got a few updates from the market, but everything seems to be running really well. I'm not having any wifi issues so far, no SOD, or anything else. It runs really fast too. My only complaint is that I haven't been able to find out how to turn off the screen lock entirely when you boot up. I'm thinking that the key to success with this baby is to wipe, wipe, wipe and then wipe some more before you install. I will say that somewhere in the course of the many installs I've done on this device I did fix the partitions so possibly someone with a new tablet hasn't done that and it may be causing issues but that is just conjecture on my part. If anyone figures out how to turn off the lock screen completely let me know.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dav_t:
I've done some experimentation with my router settings, and have determined (at least for my Gtab and router combo) that the problem occurs when the AES encryption key is updated. I'm running VeganTab Ginger 7.1 and have a DLink DIR-655 router. One solution if this is happening to you is to downgrade your wireless security encryption to TKIP or WEP, but I didn't want to do that so I simply increased the "Group Key Update Interval" to its max of 65535. Although this doesn't completely solve it, it will reduce the wifi drops to once every 18+ hours. Thanks for the help rajeevvp. I could've never traced this down without your help.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Hmm. That's slightly insecure, and therefore, not advisable.

The thing I noticed was that your DHCP lease time was coming back as `-1'. This is an invalid value. I wanted to see if it was the WiFi router returning it or the dhcpcd program on the gTab getting things wrong. Which is why I asked you to change it.

There was another value I was looking for--usually seen in the "Advanced" page for WiFi--which many wireless routers don't expose. It's called "Aging Interval". Increasing it decreases the no. of Station connect messages that are sent, which is what I think triggers our disconnects. Ultimately, this has to be fixed in the kernel/ROM. I'm looking into this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cranky_dan:
rajeevvp, thank you. I believe my problem is cured. I'll definitely know tomorrow when I see if the g-tab still likes my work AP. But here at home, where I may have had 10 or more disconnects in 60 minutes, it's now solid.

For the record, I upgraded to the latest pershoot kernel, and that was all I needed to do. Thank you.

How do you know so much about this stuff?

Dan

Today I'm happy to say the AP at work *also* gave me no problems. So the issue for me really is resolved. Thanx again.

Short Cuts / Quicklinks

Am i Being dumb or what? I switched to the 7.1 and had the email problem. If anyone else has the problem, copy from 7.0 and use APK installer from the market. Much easier than trying to cut and paste into the proper folder.

However, I have one problem which I think is just an oversite. How do I add quick links, or shortcuts that are not on the list? With previous roms, you could just click and hold and bring it to the home page.

Afterward I installed my apps back from Titanium and did mostly just apps without data. It has been running like a charm.

cifs.....again

After upgrading and thinking how much I like this ROM I tried connecting to my network and nothing I did would work. I thought about it and remembered that this new version used pershoots kernel which doesn't include CIFS support. At the end of the developer post gojimi includes some instructions for loading kernel modules but I need more details to do it. The last version I loaded a different kernel that included cuts support so it wasn't a problem. I'd rather just do that but I don't know which kernel would work. Not sure if I rember how either. Alternately I would load the module for pershoots kernel if I could find more detailed instructions. Anyone got any suggestions?

- RAM at 200+Mb free,

- OC to 1400,

- smooth and superb VTL launcher,

- Decent video with MX video player,

- Camera app working,

- Geolocation working well,

- Skype, Flash and market working great,

- BT working well,

- Reliable alarms (using Waketimer as an insurance)

These are all flaws that are experienced elsewhere in various ROMs and a RARE combination of working geatures in the same ROM.

Thanks again gojomi.

- Skype video calls

- OC to 1600

- HW video acc.
