I am still on DSC 1.0

Guys,

I am still on DSC 1.0 ( nothing flashed over DSC 1.0)

I moved here - cause I wanted a reliable and ( as fast as possible - without compromising on reliability )

Rest all is fine

-- I still cannot mute a call!! :(

But- all was running fine.

But- since last week- I notice- the ROM is running laggier :(

Upgrading to 1.1 does not seem to be a wise choice - especially considering the need for stability - being on top priority!

Also- I notice- the Mobile network coverage is fine- but call Quality - sucks- in 6/10 calls !!! :confused:

Battery is-

dropping 15% per hour or so

- with average 1-2 hour calls in a day- and APN (2G) only activated all the time.

I was expecting it to be like 7~% or so- but.. that's still on lower priority than Stability / call quality.

Please suggest actions to be taken!!

Should I consider moving to 407 Olleh?

Thanks,

Sony.

I dont mind going back to Streakdroid also !

but- I want stable ROM n good call quality :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I'm on vacation right now, but anyway:

1. Most reported data switch issues was caused by Busybox installer. Dunno about the rest so far, but it seems it's not related to 1.1 update.

2. Battery drain, etc. is caused by big number of background/service apps. Remive unneeded, check with autostarts the rest.

3. Stability:

(last reboot was due to discharging battery fully)

sh-4.1$ uptime

up time: 6 days, 02:55:23, idle time: 1 days, 15:19:10, sleep time: 3 days, 11:38:38

sh-4.1$

4. Can't say anything about call mute.
[Streak 5 Android Development] besony:
Thank you n0p

n0p ,

I cannot help but thank & appreciate you for your wonderful work and prompt attention!!! :)

I am definitely happy with the ROM - just some minor things :D

I understand you are on vacation- So please do enjoy :p

Sorry for the trouble !

Let me bug you - after you are back :)

hope you have a wonderful time!

God bless.

Sony.

P.S. I am totally after battery tweaking now & call quality research :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Thank you.

Battery - you need to reduce background apps. Especially that uses data sync.

--

Call quality. Yes, it's that bad. What I know and what I plan to do:

Internal speaker is ok. At least I hear voice quite clear. Check the dust.

Mic is no good. I had complains about not hearing me clearly. Thought about drilling a bigger hole, but left this idea out.

Voltage for mic cannot be raised (it controlled by amss and i've no idea if kernel can do it via gpio).

I heard that some amss (i don't exacly remember, maybe 366) has better results for voice.

But we have another problem: blinking leds on amss mismatch.

Awhile ago, manics sent me gb kernel (most probably from some prerelease 40x rom) that have no blinking leds problems.

This leads to:

kernel blinks checking amss. I haven't found such routines.

Amss recieves an incorrect rpc call and blinks.

So far I cannot think of other way than decompiling that kernel and diffing vs 406 kernel.

It's a bit hard for me, because i've little exp in arm assembly (i've made some optimizations long time ago and that mostly compiler hints related)

Battery n Call quality.

I have even lesser experience- :p

But- I can help with any testing - that you may want!

I have a backup phone to rely on/

But- please let me know so- I can keep it ready for use then! :)

___

For call quality -

I was checking out this app- ( specifically on this ROM - hence posting it here- not in App section..)

-Fresh Network- from market.

It says it re-calibrates the Radio and signals.

and shows - that it improved the signal

from -67dBm to -54 dBm ( lesser the better ).

Comments show- that it does save battery/better call quality also with better coverage.

I thought I can test- and parallely - ask our friends here to have a shot.

Thanks,

Sony.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
No app will recalibrate radio, that's for sure :) Same as that little signal boost stickers :)

--

Mic: root access has nothing to do with it. Mic voltage is set via baseband, even kernel sets it with indicative values. And it sets it to max possible value.

--

What you really can test - flash 366 BB, ignore blinking leds and check sound quality. Note that you'll need to switch network type to gsm manually.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Wifi troubles update:

Yesterday i've tried to connect to open AP and got a white bars.

Quick look at log showed that reason was incorrect info supplied by WifiStateTracker ( it gave 0.0.0.0 as gateway and 0.0.0.0 as subnet mask).

dhcpcd itself worked fine: I did a

killall dhcpcd

dhcpcd eth0

(dhcpcd actually sets def route itself), and wifi started to work.

So we just need a fix or workaround for broken dhcpcd-framework communications.
[Streak 5 Android Development] p_razzi:
YES! That's the problem I had all along and was told that the 0.0.0.0 was a bad antenna or that I had a bad router. Looking forward to the fix so I can return to DSC!
[Streak 5 Android Development] uluvali:
Resolved my Wifi to 3G issues (for my personal uses anyway)

Thx _n0p_ :highfive:

Resolved my Wifi to 3G issues (for my personal uses anyway)

I only connect to 1 WiFi network which is my home router. I set the WiFi adapter ip,sub,gateway and DNS to static. Now I can switch effortlessly from 3g to wifi without restarting my streak (regardless of which is enabled @ start up). The 0.0.0.0 was the key for me
[Streak 5 Android Development] zAm1987:
I think this actually explains the weird wifi behaviour I got sometimes. Switching Wifi off/on always fixed it for me (now I know its because of restarting dhcp action).

I got this behaviour through all roms I had used since buying my Streak, but I never really looked into it, because it happened so rarely and could easily be fixed.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
uluvali, would you do revert to prev. settings and do a full logcat dump right after having a 0.0.0.0 error?

adb logcat -d >log.txt

(i cannot reproduce the issue, and wanna know preceding events)

--

Meanwhile - a liitle test update with slightly newer dhcpcd version and disabled autorenew in WifiStateTracker:

http://n0p.8bit.fm/streak/DSC_TestDHCP.zip

Please test and tell if it's any better.
[Streak 5 Android Development] uluvali:
Sorry. DSC_TestDHCP.zip did not help

"log.txt:

Your file of 389.8 KB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 256.0 KB for this filetype."

Am I doing something wrong?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
uluvali, zip it :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] uluvali:
got it, thx
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Odd. You recieve bad ip and gateway right from start.

Actually all values are zeroed.

I wonder if disabling Wifi interface route udating in framework would help, as dhcpcd works fine itself setting default route.

I may interfere with setting static ip though, but i'll try.

--

uluvali, what if you issue

su

killall dhcpcd

dhcpcd eth0

In terminal emulator when having a bad connection?
[Streak 5 Android Development] uluvali:
No change. Wifi icon white. Ip address in advance settings has "Unavailable".

Change to static and run Wifi Reassociate. Icon green and Internet restored. Also, the ability to switch back and forth between 3g and Wifi returns (without having to restart device)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I guess we have some other case here.

Looks like your dhcp client cannot get address at all.
[Streak 5 Android Development] uluvali:
After wiping the phone and sd card only to have the problem reoccur, I am completely satisfied with the static ip fix. Thx for your hard work and support of this rom :good:
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I'd really like to find the real problem, but having it occured only once i doubt to find it.

Baseband-ignorant kernel test

Highly recommended!

You'll need following kernel and baseband:

As title says, this kernel doesn't check BB, so no blinking leds problem. Currently testing it with 366 BB.

Benefits of 366 BB:

Crisper/better voice.

No Wifi freezes (so far?)
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
is this ROM specific kernel or it can cross over any ROM..?

i mean gb <> froyo vice versa...? :confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Compatible with DSC and should work with 407 Olleh ROM.

After some testing i'll release it for CM7.2/MIUI 2.x.x

Not compatible with FroYo but it's kernel already works with 3xx BB, so what's the point?
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
i see... emmm.... this one could be flashed straight out of the box or we have to prep for it first?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Simply flash it with StreakMod recovery.

Nandroid first, as always.
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
@ _n0p_

tried this kernel to longhorn 2.7... and it still gives the blink... i guess it is not compatible with the rom... though it is kinda cool to see it blinks ... lol... :p

oh... silly me... i use the original baseband... amss366.mbn

no wonder it gives the blink.. lol... :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Longhorn is CyanogenMod 7, and did I mention compatibility with CM? :)

There's a specific thread for CM/MIUI.

[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Sorry guys.

Have reuploaded corrected packages (Talk and Vending reverted, CPU Master Free removed)

Thank you for collaboration!

BTW, market should update automatically.

jenjenX, you can use it on ANY GB ROM.

About "refund". I'm using only free software, so let's wait for others opinion on the subject.
[Streak 5 Android Development] smnc:
I'm getting the same problem
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
All links correct.

Just do a page refresh.

Had to clear my cache, page wasn't refreshing.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Thanks everyone for reports.

Hope it's ok now in current state.

Quite hard to test everything when you are using the device as your primary tool.

(And i had gTalk frosen due it's constant activity - dunno, Google has us :) )
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Request.

BTW, anyone willing to create custom bootlogo for DSC?

I can offer no prize, but anyway...

Using FileExpert, navigate to /system/app

Tap Vending.apk

Reinstall.
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
It says not installed. I also tried to install the latest market but it also said not installed after trying.

Sent from my SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Strange. I would do this -

Delete market updates, cache and data

Delete Vending.apk from /system/app.

Put 3.3 version named Vending.apk to /system/apk.

Reboot. It should work.

P.S.

@n0p - Sir,

I tried to donate to you - and for some reason paypal says- you only accept dontations from Ukr.!!

So- I have to come to Ukr. and then transfer via paypal! :p ?

You should accept donations globally! :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
No probs, I actually don't need donations.

I'd prefer a chip souvenir (your country specific would be nice).

And I think it's in Paypal policy not to allow donations to Ukraine.
[Streak 5 Android Development] besony:
How to give chip?

That's very modest of you to say that!

I would surely present you with a chip souvenir (from India) - but, how to do that..

Good to be back after a long time... can this be flashed via streakmod or need fastboot for it...
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
i am pretty sure it needs fastboot... :good:
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Damn means i will have to take my cable to work...at home i use a mac and i somehow forgot how i did the fastboot flash using it..
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
No way has been found to update lowlevel fw with recovery.

I'm quite sure that it resides in mtdblock partitions.
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
a better analogy is that... fastboot usually for hardware and recovery is for software... well... something like that... :o
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Actually you can flash full prepared system via fastboot.

I still wonder how it's done in stock fw.
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
i suppose it is done using qdl tool... :o
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I mean on device :) I think it's done with DT.mbn, but dunno how.

Suspecting one of mtdblock (NAND) partitions hold lowlevel fw. But incorrect operation would brick the device and consequent QDL-ing is not fun :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] besony:
I am testing the BB366.

Well, I also confirm - after one day of use (almost), the call quality is much much better! :cheers!:

Its like switching from 240p to 480p :D

Waiting for further analysis on this. I really believe it could be pushed further :p

366 baseband

call quality is better, not perfect but better. i also have no data reception even after switching to gsm, i'll have to live with that to get better call quality. wifi works perfect.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I don't think there's anything could be done further in voice quality.

Disabling BB check will probably one of last updates to the kernel, and i'm really happy with this hack.

Anyone remembers how many attempts to fix wifi freezes was made? :)

I will forge a quick update to 1.2 with new kernel and provide a flash pack with 366 BB.

One more thing I think of now - it would be fun to create notification patch for kernel with configurable led blink patterns.
[Streak 5 Android Development] droido101:
"One more thing I think of now - it would be fun to create notification patch for kernel with configurable led blink patterns"

yes. please.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
DT.img holds the menus and related stuff, on the S5 it's the black menu with

fac reset/enter rec/screen calibaration. It's likely also the fac reset and screen calibaration apps too.

on the venue it includes a lot more and is also better looking (they never bothered to backport anything good to the S5)

DT is 'magic' as in it's not simply copied to the DT partition, the rec has to run the DT update app after it's done flashing.

If you manually fastboot flash DT.img, you get a super-brick that wont respond to anything, you likely must jtag to recover it (assuming you have a jtag payload to fix it with)

We dont have the partition map for all the firmwares, on emmc devices it's merely

package_extract_file("blob", "/dev/block/mmcblk3p13");

which is standard extraction.

where our MTD devices are

move_file("/cache/DT/Firmwarecommand", "/tmp/Firmwarecommand");
move_file("/tmp/Firmwarecommand", "/cache/DT/Firmwarecommand");
write_dt_firmware_image("amss.mbn", "/amss.mbn");

which means it's a custom job likely.

I'd imagine the stock rec has been modified to include the DT updating stuff.

Regardless QDLtool isnt nvflash, there's plenty of reasons for QDLtool to fail where nvflash will only fail if the hw is physically damaged to the point it wont power up.
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
yeah... this one a very welcome accessory feature :good:

i bet everyone would welcome it :victory:

if it can have user created custom pattern, it would be even better :D

then when it is confirmed working, you then can make for cm7 and miui too... heheehe... :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Quick peak into DT shows that is actually does that ingeneering tests.

OK.

appsboot - boots kernel. Can operate nand (read/write)

5 minutes later , nothing bad to report.

@ _n0p_ , i really don't know if it is any things left to do with this ROM anymore , the latest patch with the 366bb , is in my opinion DSC v2.0, as now anyone can enjoy Gingerbread in its full glory with DSC.

I've not been around here as much as I've been playing with an ICS tablet from a minor manufacturer lately. it's more fun getting Google Play onto one of these tablets than going with something bog standard like an Asus. But, seeing the improvements to the kernel and the recommended change to the baseband, I'm going to attempt an upgrade to 1.1 once more, after changing the baseband to 366 and of course applying the U11 kernel.

I'll let y'all know how it works out.
