We will never have the code to look at and fix because it is actually in either the modem code itself or in the vendor_ril... both of which only samsung has access to. I have talked to some of the engineers (both hardware and software) in both the United States and with Samsung Korea. The problem is in the modem chip going effectively a deep sleep mode when there is a fault between tower swapping and network swapping while it is sending out or recieving data packets. The modem is effectively turning itself off to the point it doesn't accept incoming commands from the ril. The kernel has nothing to do with this outside if you make it continuely look to see if the modem chip wont respond to commands and then reboot (which powers it down and reinitialize the power sequence to get it worknig again).

Samsung has a long standing history of these issues with CDMA (mostly because their Korean engineers use a femtocell to mimic US CDMA)

In some cases you are correct that the kernel can have an effect on CERTAIN hardware that utilizes direct kernel input (I should have stated this better in my original posts), but in the case of the modem, no...

Please research the modem hardware to software pathway and what role the kernel actually plays. Here is a basic diagram that google puts out for the pathway of the RIL http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/telephony.html ... Notice what control's pathway is...

As for the kernel speeding up dataspeeds... Most of those kernels actually alter the proxy connection data and bypass the sprint proxy servers which bottleneck data. They may also decrease overhead OS data demand or prioritize data connections more efficent.

It isn't increasing the actual speed of the EVDO or WiMAX data signal, that is impossible..

It is like taking a cable connect at 5 Mbps and a 802.11g router at 54 Mbit/s (i know Mbit/s and Mbps are different but for this comparison assume they are the same) and overclocking it and decreasing the overhead and expecting to get an internet speed of 10 Mbps... You can bottleneck and throttle down the connection speed very easily by the software in the router, but you can't force it to go faster then the maximum connection speed.

As for this entire thread, it is to let you know that the EL13 modem DOES STILL SUFFER from LOS... AKA it is not fixed. They may have partially fixed it so 80% of the people never suffer a LOS again, but it was just a notification that if you get LOS... Don't be shocked, it still exists...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Which level of data packets? Those generated by the user/kernel-space or some internal data packets generated by the radio?

Given the information you are providing, how does that get reconciled with the recompiled kernels exacerbating the problem. If the conditions causing this problem were purely affecting the modem code, then you shouldn't be able to exacerbate the problem with recompiled kernels.

Does the modem run at the CPU speed that the kernel configures? If so, then changing the CPU speed can cause race conditions to show up. Then the kernel could actually affect the modem.

I am not saying any of this *IS* happening. I'm saying making the statement the kernel has nothing at all to do with it assumes one has an exact understanding of how the fault is occuring. I haven't seen any description of that. The modem dies on a tower transition isn't an exact understanding of the fault. It is a step in the process of narrowing down what code to further look at.

If I said the browser crashes when accessing yahoo, that isn't an exact understanding of the fault. If I say there is a semaphore that needs to be used to protect update_url_bar() because highlight_url_bar() could be called mid-process and cause a memory access fault with xyz variable, that is an exact understanding of the fault.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
I'm trying to create a bootable SD card with CM7. I followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957.

I've put the CM7 file on the card, but when I put in in my nook and boot it just goes to the nook software. Can anyone help me with what I did wrong? When I look at the SD card, I see these files:

cm_encore_full-253.zip

u-boot.bin

uRamdisk

uImage

MLO​

And it looks like the nook put some stuff on it when it booted, folders called:

My Files

B&N Downloads

LOST .DIR

.android_secure​

Any help would be vastly appreciated!

If you are still booting into the stock ROM I would say you have a bad image and to do it again.....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
As I think back through the process, the only thing I was a bit confused on was the generic image. After downloading it, I expanded it out using winrar before writting it to the SD card with winimage. Was that the right thing to do?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Try again with Win32DiskImager
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
Do I need to expand the image out first with winrar, or will the Win32DiskImager handle that?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
You have to preface the ROM zip files with "update-", so change the name of the zip file to update-cm_encore_full-253.zip. Additionally, you're missing some files that would allow the ROM to be written to the sd, specifically uRecRam and uRecImg. You should probably go back and review the instructions and start from the beginning.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
You should have wound up with an .img file that you write to SD with WinImage. From that linked page:

Did you wind up with a ~130M .img file?

From what you've written, sounds like the write wasn't good and it doesn't even start to boot.

Also, when it does boot, watch the process as CM is extracted when you boot that disk. Per the top part of that guide, some cards work better than others.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
Will try that, but would it skip the boot from the SD card all together because of that?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
Looks like my image, after I expanded it with WirRar, is more like 117MB (123,379,200 bytes). Do I need to bring down the image and expand it again?

Creating a bootable CM7 uSD using winimage and verygreen installer:

1.Download winimage, verygreen boot image, CM7 zip or Mirage zip, gapps zip...

2.Unpack the verygreen .gz to get the .img file inside

3.Put your SD card in your card reader

4.Open winimage....

5.Disk->Use disk (whatever your sd card is)

6.Disk->Restore virtual hard disk image on physical drive (select the verygreen .img file-change .vhd to .* if you don't see it)

7.Click ok on the warning and you should have a boot disk

8.Right click the CM7 zip and "send to" your new boot disk

9.Pop out the SD card, put it in the Nook

10.Boot the Nook, let it install and turn off

11.Put the SD card back in your PC, transfer the gapps zip to it, put back in Nook

12.Turn on the nook, let it boot to CM7

13.Connect to wifi (saves a little hassle later when google wants you to log in)

14.Press the power button, restart, to recovery

15.Let gapps install then turn off

16.Restart the nook

17.Touch the android

18.Log in to your google account

19.Install whatever google apps you want (don't worry if you don't get them all now, the market will still have them later)

20.Enjoy

I recommend using DizzyDen's patch after step 1 if you want better market support. I make the IMEI from my Nook's serial # and use these build.prop edits.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
The more answer you get, the more confusion.

Anyway, follow this carefully.

Assuming you running Windows on PC.

1. Download (or redownload) the file from your link. It is .gz file, it is a zip file, so you need to unzip it. After unzip, you will get the .img file, and that's the one you need to write off your uSD card.

2. Execute Win32DiskImager (assuming you already downloaded), prefer an old version, r0.15 or something like that.

3. Create a bootable uSD. After this step, your PC should see the uSD as "boot" and inside, it should have only 4 files as you listed above.

4. Copy the ROM into the boot directory (like you listed above) and properly eject the uSD off the PC.

5. Insert the uSD into the NC and power it up. You don't have to do anything else, it will FULLY AUTOMATICALLY detects the zip file (the ROM file), install, then delete and then shut down. Note: you don't touch anything.

6. Now, you have to power it up.

7. Repeat step 4 to get the GApp installed by trying to boot into recovery (this step needs your skill, read the how-to from the link you posted)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
It appears this was my problem. I was using "write disk" rather than the restore option. I now appear to have CM7 on the card (althought it's been on the bootup screen for a while, and I now need to get the gapps installed.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallahad2000:
I made the same mistake, it's not really explained in any of the guides.

That's an unnecessary step. The verygreen installer will flash it even without the prefix.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
No, you don't... the recovery script is setup to find "update-*" "cm_encore_full*" and gapps-gb*" files. So, as long as your file begins with everything up to the * it will work.

uRec* won't be present until the script actually runs once. The script creates the uRecRam and uRecImg files to use on further boots into recovery mode.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallahad2000:
Thanks for the clarification, I just knew he was wrong. :D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
Thanks for clarifying my misconceptions. At one time, a standard "cm_encore_full*" file didn't take and did when I added the "update-" to it.

That's why we come here, to learn at the feet of the masters. :)

So angry of this stuff,however there should be a way,how to wipe data using recovery.

Actually I did the full wipe,but no luck. Boot loop is still present.

What's worse,I am not able 99% of time to enter recovery. Is there a way,how to SURE enter recovery? I hold buttons as I can,1% of attempts I am luckily entered there.

Another thing: If full wipe doesn't help,is there a way to reformat stock ROM or do I need some custom ROM to install?

Thanks.

So, I've made sure that ringer and media volume are at their highest, and I've noticed that it is kind of difficult to hear Navigation. Has anyone else dealt with this? I haven't had any of the "speakerphone or call quality issues", just noticed this the other day while traveling. If others have experienced it, do you have a work-around?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Goat_For_Sale:
I think that generally all of the sounds on the Gnex are very low. I personally haven't used navigation ( i don't drive ) but all their ring tones notifications etc are very low.

One solution for the notifications i used was to 1) use your own audio files or 2) manually edit the audio file with a music editing program to have a higher master volume level.

That is where you may be able to get some success if you can locate where the audio files are for the navigation app you could try to manually increase their volume and replace them.

The audio files are downloaded on the fly, so trying to edit them wouldn't work too well. Look for volume+ in the market.
