Agree about ICS; but since dalingrin's posted about ICS using the same driver as the current CM7, any problems will probably carry over and any fixes to it that can be made now will help simplify ICS troubleshooting. Right?

I know that everytime the wifi issue comes up a lot of people jump all over the thread and beat their chests about noobs not wiping caches, repairing permissions or any number of incredibly simple faster-to-try-than-posting fixes. Those things aren't working for those of us affected. It's great that you don't have problems with it, but trying to outpost the people who are having issues isn't making the problem go away or anyone feel like putting in time to gather information for submission.

So, what can I offer you to help. My 16gb tp is *Horribly* affected. It's a complete waste because the only thing that makes a tablet useful is internet connectivity. Tell me what you want and I'll google all the howtos, download all the preware and sdk bull****, brick and unbrick; device wipe and start over until I get a single bit of information that might help you fix it.

I currently have WHR-G300N, WZR-HP-G300NH, 2x cisco dpc3825. The wifi has been getting progressively worse on CM releases. WebOS remains perfect on all 4 wireless units. I've used multiple buffalo and dd-wrt firmwares, and changed *all* of the options. I've tried other access points of multiple brands as well, but those are my current routers to burn down testing with if need be.

If I *have* to I will buy a ubiquity router with airOS5 on it for advanced site survey and channel saturation information.

What would you like to know about the wireless problem?

WebOS is perfect. (well... the wireless stability anyways)

It's been getting worse and worse little by little over the release history.

Going to earlier releases seems to help. (currently on 2.4 so I can use the TP for 20-25 mins at a time right now)

This happens on multiple access points running different bands (10/20/40), on different channels, with different firmwares. It happens on *all* of them.

So how can I help?

I think I'm gonna do this too before I waste my time on anything else. It's about the only thing I haven't done yet.

hi guys ipost it in ther developement archlinux thread but no one anserw to my quation can you help me guys

i download archlinux build to my pc

but i think i must change this command thats right

can anyone help me please
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Yeah, run acme uninstaller, take it back to HP factory, and reinstall. Start from scratch.

Dude, really?

That literally has NOTHING to do with this ROM. You are in a Android ROM thread. You did this once before, have patience when you ask a question, don't start spamming other threads with your question.
[TouchPad Development] russg:
What part do you not believe is true? The driver is the same and if you like you can check that yourself. As I also said before, if you don't have problems then count yourself lucky.

I have seen some tweaks in the latest stuff that seems to help with the problem but the core problem remains to be the driver. The tweaks shouldn't be needed if we can get a solid driver.

Until then, I will expect more posts in this thread about WIFI issues.
[TouchPad Development] krook6023:
The wifi issue has been beat to death. Describing the issues at this point is not helping. Whether or not wifi works great for some does bit dismiss that there is clearly an underlying issue with wifi.

So find a solution or quit posting unhelpful details about a KNOWN ISSUE.

That is all.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
On the other hand, I was having wifi issues since day 1 with my TP, even before going to CM7, on both my home routers. Spent lots of hours with HP on the phone to no avail, including doctoring. Finally, replaced one router since it was intermittently failing and changed the broadcast channels on the other. Ever since that no problems at all, but I also do run Blade Wifi Fix from the market. As an aside, put the failing router back on line for a while, and it connects too, now. So some combination of channel changing and the market app seems to have fixed for me.
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I don't know what everyone thinks all this extra *****ing is going to accomplish.

Be patient, let ICS get rolled out. NO ONE is overly focused on CM7. Gingerbread is at it's end of life, we're moving on to ICS. If it's a rampant issue, it will be corrected in ICS by someone.
[TouchPad Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
outta thanks bro, so
[TouchPad Development] calash:
Most of my connectivity issues have gone away with 2.9 and 2.9.1 but I still suffer some odd issues with Wifi.

The most pressing is the rebooting when the screen turns off. Sometimes this is more of a lockup then I have to force a reboot. It happens more on my works PEAP network but I have seen it at my house as well.

The work issues may also be related to overlapping access points for pervasive wireless. I can pick up 3 points at my desk, each with a different channel and various strength. They are all the same SSID and network and use the same PEAP servers.

I can get around the issue by not restarting the Touchpad or if I have to keeping it connected to the USB for a while. Once the connection is done and the screen has gone off for a while it seems to stabilize and I can disconnect.

There is something odd going on with the wifi driver. If this was Ubuntu the first thing I would look at is the blacklist file to see if I need to block a competing driver that may be causing the instability. Not sure if Android even has something like that..
[TouchPad Development] L33t Masta:
Looks like I get to stick around long enough for that 7in MeMo 370T from Asus to come out for $250.
[TouchPad Development] ieatrocks:
Agree *****ing isn't helpful; but those of us affected don't know what to offer to help. Anytime we bring it up we're told to just deal. It's unusable, and we'd love to do something to help other than getting told to stfu.

Obviously it's not Leo's problem since it's buggy in CM, but the same buggy driver is being carried into ICS, so saying "someone will fix it in cm9" isn't a real solution and work should be started now by understanding the problem causing the disconnects.

Maybe the wifi issue should get a new thread so it's not drawing tons of replies of "wifi is perfect, lern2wiepcachs" and generally pissing off the coders working on all the other things making cm7 usable on our tablets. Leo is doing good work and if he could reproduce it *at all* maybe we could expect some attention on it, but trying to produce a problem to then fix it? Silly. What we need is a dev to say "make X happen then send in Y logs" or somesuch. Even if he just gathered and ignored the logs until he has spare time to look at it, it's not the same circular arguments making this thread a trainwreck.

Anyways, good advice to redownload everything and uninstall back to stock, and no sense worrying about anything else until I give that a go.
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
i don't have wifi issue, but thanks, i will check that out ! (sorry Mod)
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
My point is, don't hold off on ICS because we haven't "fixed" wifi in GB. Get ICS going, and we'll address the issue from there. The good of ICS way way out weighs that of wifi issues that some are having.

Another thing that some people are saying helps fix the issue is installing MIUI and running it for a few minutes, and the reinstalling CM7 again.
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
i'll be adding that to my collection !
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Yup, me too.
[TouchPad Development] L33t Masta:
I will probably sell my TouchPad for $150 around that time and grab one of those.
[TouchPad Development] sahhar1993:
Wooow why people have wifi probleme

i never got this probleme xron is amazing rom no bugs

but still we must have ics ;);)
[TouchPad Development] L33t Masta:
Only Wifi problems I get is the occasional issue with my iPhone wifi hotspot. I just have to toggle them both for a little bit.
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I'm gonna keep my Touchpad as well.
[TouchPad Development] L33t Masta:
I would keep my touchpad but that 7in Tegra3 tablet is going to provide everything I need. I don't really game on my tablet, it's more of an internet browser/music player/book reader. And $250 for full access to my Desktop PC on top of all that is amazing.
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Wow! You fixed it!! Why didn't I think of that!!???! ZOMG!! :eek:

(Maybe it's because I/we did)

Do you REALLY think those having wifi issues wouldn't have tried every channel!?

It's NOT just a channel thing. Sometimes it fixes the issue for

SOME

people, and others it doesn't. The only "common" thing found is Belkin routers (with RALink chipsets) seem to get along better with the TP than others. The culprit has been found to be a driver issue, which is not easily fixed as the HP driver is still closed source. I tried 5 (or was it 6??) different routers and the only one a channel change made any difference was the WRT54GL running Tomato, and that was on channel 10. So yea....
[TouchPad Development] bluedogtouchpad:
Sorry, I did not mean that we don't all have the same driver, I was talking about "To be clear, everyone has this problem". Don't get me wrong I know there are a lot out there with this problem. I was just trying to help put out what I thought was a possible problem that seemed to be solved after my last reinstall. I guess the only way I could verify it would be to re install the last rom that I had on my tp and see if the problem comes back and if it does I could do another re install of the rom I am using now to see if it gets corrected. If I get the time and want to chance it I will give this a try. I do not want to ruffle any feathers about this. The Xron team is working hard on everything with this rom and ics and if I can help anyone with this by trying what I did to get rid of my wifi problems I hope it can help. I did list all what I did back farther in this post but parts might be separated from post to post and this post is getting so large that new arrivals get lost in it.

This is what I did for my last update.

Run WebOS Doctor

Wipe both cache’s

Do a factory reset

Run ACMEUninstaller (Search post for info on ACMEInstaller and ACMEUninstaller

Wipe both cache’s - again

Do a factory reset - again

Download XRONified_vB2.9_01012012.zip

Install using the ACMEInstall directions in the original post on page one of this post

This video that was made by reverndkjr is very good to follow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXJK7nboqaE&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

So this will be my last post on this subject unless I am asked directly about the installation that I did. You could also ask in a pm if you would like.

[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Just to make things clear. Myself and the team do no make drivers or decompile them to modify them. If its a driver issue we are sol. With that said, if wifi is a huge priority (and understandably so). They the belkin line of routers. I haven't had any issues since the beginning. It was a $40 router. I won't be spending my time yet learning to build drivers. Sorry but drivers aren't part of my specialty.

I strongly suggest the discussion of wifi issues be placed in a thread dedicated to it because we will take up too much time on something that's out of my control.

For those who say cm has more stable wifi than mine, I find it strange but suggest you use their from for the time being. While I want everyone to have a bug free experience, it probably won't happen.

Since wifi issues have been a problem since day one, make a new thread and carry the conversation about it over there. If a solution is found we will let everyone know. But to say everyone is having or not having issues isn't the case.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] zcrugby:
guys am i missing something here.. hp just released an update for webos for our touchpads. go check it out. i thought they were done with webos?
[TouchPad Development] InferiorL3gion:
Omg his wisdom has fixed all my problems
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
Link maybe...not seeing this.

Edit: Ok found this on Engadget...will check when I get home.

[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
That guy is an ass.
[TouchPad Development] zcrugby:
the webos update is failing to install for me :( anyone else tried?
[TouchPad Development] tbob18:
Don't worry about that setting. I'm not even sure why it was at 10000 as I never set that, it is now at 50000 now and it won't change. :confused:
[TouchPad Development] dan-fish:
all of my updates have failed for some reason. I'm not sure if it's do with android or preware or something but it's really annoying. Anyone got any ideas?

If i use webOS doctor to install the update, will i lose my files on webOS?
[TouchPad Development] bluedogtouchpad:
My update also failed.
[TouchPad Development] OmahaPaul402:
Failing here as well. I wonder if it has something to do with moboot? It seems to go smoothly up to the point the device restarts.
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
My update seem to go fine for me (in the UK) didn't take too long either

no html5 change though for youtube etc

edited to add

I only webos doctored mine back a few days ago to 3.04 and haven't yet put Android or moboot back on it

IIRC from the last update I had to remove something (possibly moboot) before the update would go ahead
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
This is a bit offtopic so I'll keep this short.

I had trouble with the last hp update because of preware and a couple of patches. Once I uninstalled preware and the patches, I was able to update. haven't tried with the new update, however. maybe give that a whirl.
[TouchPad Development] dmarchant:
Mine failed on the restart, but forced a power off, then let it start again into webOS and it has recovered OK with 3.0.5 running. That was with moboot 0.3.5, and Xron installed. Didn't even take any patches off. Just put the new 3.0.5 UberKernel back on.
[TouchPad Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
sorry man, that was meant for guho.... Long LONG couple a dayzzz!
[TouchPad Development] kumar754:
update fine with 3.0.5 + android installed

while updating i read these post and was worried. but it was updated without a hickup.
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Did it kill your Android install? Did you have to reinstall moboot?
[TouchPad Development] kumar754:
just now booted into android .. got moboot boot options.. everything working fine..

update:

it did cleaned preware and other patches on webos. not a big deal though!
[TouchPad Development] sahhar1993:
yotube is crashed with 3 browsers opera. dolphoin. and max for 10' tablet

i think the bug is from the rom
[TouchPad Development] jayb222:
I have never had a wifi problem on this rom. So I can't help there.
[TouchPad Development] tbob18:
Remove Flash using Titanium Backup or Root Explorer, reinstall Flash from the market. Fixed it for me.
[TouchPad Development] lay_forat:
The best solution I wish Leo removes the flash player from the next rom update :)
[TouchPad Development] krook6023:
Here is a word of advice...to everyone.

If you donate to a developer do so as a way to thank them for their hard work. A donation is something you choose to give as a gift without expecting something back. You do not get to dictate how it is used and a donation does not entitle you to demand anything from anyone.

Fair warning If I see posts along the lines of "you owe me an update...I donated" they will be deleted...and the poster will receive an infraction.

@guho this was not aimed directly at you please do not think that is was :cool:

Constant Boot

I applied the HP update and now Im in a constant reboot. I get the HP screen then it keeps restarting. Looks like Im gonna have to do a full restore and start all over.
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
webos update ...

icey creamy not too distant future ...

as part of my accepted challenge,

my tp connected right away at clients office

(of course i set up his router and wireless settings :)

now if my shingles would gtf outta here,

life is good would be even better !

this tp with xron is so very cool !

[TouchPad Development] mrblazed:
Your rom is sweet and gets me laid. Thank you.
[TouchPad Development] lay_forat:
No problems here firmware update went smoothly webOS 3.0.5 & XRON 2.9.1 working fine moboot cwm keep intact
[TouchPad Development] swaze:
Lol the tp does all that and more.
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
I love you guys...in a non sexual way, so don't get any ideas!
[TouchPad Development] FishDoc:
Remove and reinstall from market. At least it worked for me.

WebOS Update

So what is in the update from WebOS that you should upgrade for. I am having a great time with this rom and have not booted into WebOS for over 2 weeks.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I enjoy android more than webOS but I have to also admit that webOS is a pretty nice OS. Here is a link to find out more about the update.

UPDATE INFO

But it's not a bad thing to see them continue to make small updates.

~leo
[TouchPad Development] isanrap:
Wow I go to sleepnfor few hours and hp releases an update. Should check it out now. Hey leo how are the devs settling in with their touchpads :-) just curious.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
doing good. They really enjoy them. TMartin hates the phone OS which is good cause it will make him get rid of it. MiSfit is working on kernels for this rom. Chubbz and I are working on ICS and Tommy is working on stripping CM out of this one and clean it up all over.

So we are all working a lot on this. Plus Tommy just started school on Monday again. Ivan is helping us with the ICS kernel....whew...lots happening
[TouchPad Development] isanrap:
Great to know. Thanks a lot leo and other devs for their work. Its only good days ahead now then :-)
[TouchPad Development] rwstarke:
'ath6kl' is the wireless driver for Atheros AR600x family of chips. It has been tested to work with the latest in the family, AR6003.

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath6kl
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Damn. I had the whip cream and candle wax ready to go. :(
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I can't get the touchpad to update....
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
Y'all got me scared to even try. I haven't been in webOS in a long time anyway - not sure I will :P

sidenote: setting up an android dev environment at this very moment - not sure if I will be of any help as I'm a pure noob to it - but I do have a C++/JAVA coding background so who knows ;)
[TouchPad Development] zcrugby:
join the club :) if it were a major update i would do over the entire touchpad an install it before android, but i can live without it
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
system/lib/modules you will find ar6000.ko this is the module for the wifi.

so the ath6k represents the 6000 i believe. It's the same in webOS being used.
[TouchPad Development] bajingo:
That's what I plan to do when ICS comes out. Uninstall, update webOS and start over.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Yeah, I really wish at this point we could just wipe webOS entirely and leave a small partition so we could recover it. other than that, its time to set the following

system to 1gb

data to 6 gb

remaining for sdcard. this would allow any system to be installed....
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
you guys have been amazing for hitting the thank you button. I believe since this thread opened, it has been hit around 1700 times. Really mind blowing. Thanks again...

edit: Looks like we are gonna get stronger as a team for ICS. Myn just told me starting next week, he's in for ICS. This is great news because he's just plain good!
[TouchPad Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
It's interesting about updating. I have read in a few webOS forums, that even when dual booting (android, ubuntu etc)it is still suggested to update the firmware.

Hmmmm
[TouchPad Development] russg:
Here's some more information about the drivers for the AR6003. A quote from the source page:

"This driver is upstream as part of the Linux 2.6.37 release under the staging area. From Linux 3.2 onwards it will be promoted from staging to a proper wireless driver. "

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath6kl

I'd suggest that those that have no problems with WIFI and those that have problems report their make and model of Access Point.

As I have seen, my TP with this ROM is fine with a AP that uses an Atheros but has problems with my Broadcom AP.
[TouchPad Development] zcrugby:
noob question here.. but i normally use titaniumbackup to restore all my apps and data after a new clean install.. but i hate having to click install for each apk it is installing in the restore process. is there a faster way?
[TouchPad Development] hassanjanjua2002:
Hey Hurtzzz where do i place the system tweak file? Thanks

And Leo Im getting little to no volume from headphones in the last two builds, the speaker is working well other than when the screen is off, but thats been an issue for a while. I did clean install both times btw. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] Fulicolor:
Nice build, seems faster and smoother. However no headphone volume for me on 3.3.2. I have done a clean install twice with no success for headphone sound.

Headphones work OK on 3.3.1 and on WebOS.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] shorty87:
I think the latest version of Titanium Backup restores/installs everything all at once. I have the paid version which has that feature already. It's definitely worth paying for if you do a lot of flashing roms.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Headphones been working solid for me. Listening to it all night.
[TouchPad Development] hurtz777:
Hass you can use root explorer and place the tweak file in system/etc/init.d folder overwriting the old one.
[TouchPad Development] cyburke:
if these tips are valid this seems like a very solid post. cheers!

oh yeah - mad props of course to the OP for all his hard work! bam!
[TouchPad Development] stgeorge88:
gtalk keeps signing out

It signs in fine but seems to sign out by itself when left for couple of minutes (all contacts appear offline but have Internet connection on browser and other things). Had the same issue on CM alpha 3.

Other than that the rom works very nicely. Less glithes than cm-a3. Thanks a lot!
[TouchPad Development] mrcpu:
Managed to install this w/o too much hassle. I installed the latest moboot and tenderloin using acme installer, then applied the xron modified cm file via apply zip from sdcard in the moboot menu.

Got in, setup basic acct settings, set up wifi, which seems to connect fine to my WNDR3400 Netgear router.

Thanks for the hard work, looking forward to seeing future updates. Finally turned my 64gig touchpad into what should be a more useful tool.
[TouchPad Development] Hieutt:
I also have headphone sound issue and I reboot, then turn on music with loudspeaker first, headphone later and I have sound again :) I dont know why but that can be a little trick :)
[TouchPad Development] Stryder5:
Get the pro version. It'll restore everything without the prompt to install each APK.
[TouchPad Development] peekeesh:
Is your 3vo producing clean sound? I find the hp touchpad's sounds much cleaner than my 3vo. My 3vo has hiss when i turn the vol past half. Kinda irritating but theres nothing i can do. The og evo has better internal amp than 3vo, imo. By the way, I use jvc harx700 cans and cmoybb external amp.

if you can get dsp or beats or volume+ work on the tp, thatd be so awesome.

great job on this rom.
[TouchPad Development] flashypants:
Ah someone else with a 64gb version...I can't go past 1.5ghz on mine on either no frills or setCPU, what about you?
