Hi FrEcP!

What does it mean didn't react to anything.... really nothing?

Have you already inspected dmesg output?

May try with USB stick instead of your keyboard.

Some sticks also claim to use more power than others...

You might examine this with lsusb as well, most "tell" the host they will consume 200mA.

I don't think there's a side effect with turbomode... though i can't tell for sure.

From what i found out during hardware investigations is, that there's a DCDC voltage converter that is responsible for the 5V power supply of the type A USB connector. Maybe the converter is to weak for currents above 200mA.

E.g. the kernel hack used on Uruk allows to switch on the USB power for devices claiming up to 500mA (as specified for USB).

There's nothing wrong with this at first sight, but maybe Archos did choose some of the components to weak to deliver this current.

My suspicion is that this converter might die slowly or there's some kind of inrush current while activating a device.

This might kill the chip.

Unfortunately i was not able to identify the manufacturer and model of the chip, i only know the location on the mainboard.

I'm sorry that i can't really help on this issue, but maybe some day there will be light :rolleyes:

You might try one thing:

Use a self powered hub and connect it to the Archos, then insert USB device again...

Any difference?

Good luck!

[Gen8 General] voom:
I would suspect, that it does not have to do with the power-consumption, since the same hardware that used to work all the time suddenly stops working...

Also, when the USB is dead the port still delivers power, but does not recognize any devices any more. It seems whatever gets broken has more to do with dataflow than with power-supply...
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
always nice to hear for u scholbert ;)

>What does it mean didn't react to anything.... really nothing?

Well - as i said - the power light light up for about 20ms then noting happens anymore

>Have you already inspected dmesg output?

neither "dmesg" nor "lsusb" show any different output while plug in.

>May try with USB stick instead of your keyboard.

tried a wireless keyborad, a wired keyboard and a usb-stick all just seem to have power for some milliseconds.... then noting else can be noticed.

The only interseting difference i noticed is:

If i have my Keyboard plugged in while startup all lights (capslock,...) light up and STAY ON. Till i pull the plug. Then its like before...

Sadly an USB-Hub (powered) will neiter be recognised... (same bahaviour)

What i noticed - if i resome the device (after is was powered on) there are several wake up commands in dmesg for the screen and the usb hubs...

But it doesnt seem to me that the 2nd hub will get resumed proper... unless those command invoke both of em at once.

What does it tell for u when resuming the device?
[Gen8 General] scholbert:
If it operates at some limit point it might work for while without any problems.

Then it might suddenly stop working...

This is typical for hardware defects (overheat, ESD, other weird things...)

Anyway, i never got these problems, so it's just a kind of "feeling".

This is new information for me... sounds logic to me.

BTW have you measured the voltage at the port?

It might also be that the device sticks in enumeration at some point.

Let me point out the following thesis:

1. USB device gets plugged into the port

2. OMAP gets an interrupt and is told there's something happening at USB

3. OMAP listens

4. USB device send identifier, power request for full operation.... (enumeration)

5. OMAP gets it, tries to enable power to match requirements and waits for ACK

6. USB device didn't get enough current for operational state and fails

7. ???

There should be something in dmesg though, so just a thesis :rolleyes:

Thanks, great honour :D

O.k., got it... so in fact there's nothing.

That really sounds that there's still some power... like voom already pointed out.

Any measurements if there's some voltage drop or something?

Will need some equipment to do so, i guess.

:(

I must admit, right now this tells me nothing...

Have to think about it.

Maybe we should compile a kernel with full debug output, at least for the USB part. This way we might get a clue what happens...

I wish a day would have some extra hours :p

Anyway i'll try to have a look in the kernel sources... looking for debugging as well.

Might take some time though, so you might try it yourself.

Regards,

scholbert
[Gen8 General] FrEcP:
Thanks for the reply- well we are a bit further now as it seems.

Since archos released the lastest firmware .82 wich fixes this"bug" partialy

Anyway - the USB is working again with this version - but just until the device goes into standby without having an usb-device connected. Then u have to reboot to get it working again.

(all is fine if the device goes into standby with device connected)

So the big question is - what happens in between?

Well at least we know its software related now ;)

I will check back dmesg again with this new firmware - and repost.

So the full debug kernel would be a nice idea - can u give me some adives how 2 start? I really have no clue about that yet.

I already compiled kernels in old suse 6.0 days but I think it will be different for "external" devices - I remember having read something about toolchain,...
[Gen8 General] voom:
With the dead port if I plug in a USB-Stick that has LED it lights up and then the light stops, while if it works (as it used to with working USB-Host on the Archos or when used with the PC) the LED stays on and constantly changes brightness. This LED behaviour is related to functioning dataflow.

On the other hand if I plug in a mouse with decorative LEDs in the dead port, the decorative LEDs, not related to dataflow, stay on, even though the mouse is not recognized. If I plugin a device that can be charged by USB it even shows that it is charging, though energyflow is probably not high enough to make that a practical use. Again in this case only the energyflow is relevant but no data activity.
[Blade General] bladebuddy:
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I realty could do with some help rebooting my San Francisco 2/ ZTE CRESCENT. I was a bit nervous about unlocking and debranding the phone so I sent it to a man on eBay to unlock+ debrand. Everything was OK on return. The problem happened last night when I tried to put it in CWM recovery pressing the power on with volume pressed down. All that happened was a white screen with TPS or something similar wrote on it and I could not get it to reboot so I pulled the battery out and powerd on and now it just stays on the android boot up logo. Is there anyway to reboot the phone and if so what file do I need and what to input . As you guessed I am not a wizard on phones or P.C s so any help would be really appreciated as I do not want to bin the phone.Thanks Jason.
[Blade General] ikamil:
Orange San Francisco 2 unlock

Have someone made the unlocking of ZTE Crescend?
[Blade General] bladebuddy:
Looks that way as contacted the guy that unlocked it and the only advice I have is not to worry try restarting the phone. I would never have thought of that. Then when I replied that that's the first thing I tried and I think I should return the phone to him and cover postage he replied " I think it's better that I sort it out". On his advert on Ebay he guarantees not to brick your phone. What he has done to it I have no clue he certainly has not followed any of the guides to unlocking the crescent that r posted all over the web. And my only chance now is to try and find out what software he used. Have you any suggestions?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yozh:
This is now solved based on the post Bellow go to www.google.com/sync on a browser with agent as iPhone or from actual iOS browser and choose your device (check the last sync time) and check the appropriate box.

So I`m trying the Skyrocket and of course one of the main apps used is email. I tried GMAIL app and it sucks, not being able to pinch to zoom or just resize html message is unacceptable.

So I`m using native email app setup gmail as exchange server so it`ll push messages out and its not great, but good enough... One thing I ran in to today, when I delete emails from the phone they do not go in to TRASH folder, seems that it archives the messages, even if I manually move the message to trash folder it still doesnt put them there. Seems only way to see those messages is if I check all mail.

I need to change this behavior any idea ? I need mails to go to trash when I delete them on the phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 0x20:
Found a google support discussion on this topic, but I can't post it here because I haven't reached 8 posts. Do a google search for the help topic "Google Sync, Gmail, and iPhone -- mail getting archived instead of moved to trash"

The interesting thing is they just updated this feature two days ago (or at least that's when they posted about it).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yozh:
Well this is great... But it doesnt seem to work in Android does it ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 0x20:
I swear I followed that link from another page that talked about issues on android, but now I can't even seem to find that. Sorry for that oversight.

It seems that the only way around it is to use IMAP or use the native GMAIL app. Google people seem to follow the /r/google subreddit, perhaps that's a place to mention it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yozh:
THis is the stupides thing ever ! I just went to the m.google.com/sync page on iphone on indroid it doesnt work and i see my device there and I can change settings, but I dont think it works in the client. I dont get it so this is fixed on the iOS client, but not android ? Google own ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yozh:
Ok actually changing on the iOS device worked.... which is of course strange, but ok.. Now here is another thing, if I move that same email from trash in web interface it doesnt show up in phone... but I guess I can use all mail to get those...

You will always have high Android OS until you start using the phone. After a full day's use, it should read 20-25% if your setup is dialed in. It will show less with Rogue kernels. They have it masked somewhat

But the phone was down to 85% power just sitting overnight.

Is that normal? (Serious question, not being a smart-ass.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tooill:
Not for me it wasn't lol, way slower than stock, and i was out performing quadrant and linpack tests on stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Going down %15 overnight sounds typical. Are talking like 8-10 hours?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
It"s "typical," but it is NOT what this device is capable of.

The Android OS usage is not supposed to happen. It's a bug, albeit an omnipresent and seemingly unkillable one. There is nothing you can do about it except reboot and hope it doesn't re-trigger.

Without triggering the bug, I was able to sleep for eight to ten hours and drop about 2% in that time frame. THAT is what this device is ACTUALLY capable of.

and i read a post baout using the 506 recovery img but theres a post saying it was updated idk cant find link now to it but if it works then good i myself am in the process of charging my 7 before i can see if it will accept the update.pkg now cause i tryed without changing the img im on stock 2.2.2 4g tmobile one

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ripsta99:
when i try to copy files to /system/ nothing happens

i mounted as r/w so what could be the problem?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
when paste or modifying a file in the root system, you need to tap the r/w to r/o in order to write or change permissions.

If you are doing a 3e mod, don't forget to change the permissions too.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ripsta99:
....not working. if i change it to read only it Def not working.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Check again to see what you are doing wrong. Its a toggle to read/write or read only.

If you're using root explorer, you have root.

Infuse n root explorer is not smart enough to pick out just you. :)

Edit.. Are you trying the 3e mod?

Three are easier way
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
bad su binary?

does super user show root explorer having super user permission? do you have super user installed? does it give a notification or toast that permissions were granted either when the app starts or on boot?

if that is all ok then open terminal emulator and type

su

(you should see $ change to # and a notification for superuser permissions granted.. if not you likely need to re root the phone)

if that goes OK then type

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

if it has any error like permission denied or invalid argument or can't remount folder exists or anything at all then there is something odd going on, could be something I'm overlooking, could be a bad su binary. try reflashing and don't update the binary if you are on a custom kernel.

edit: overlooking busy box. try installing it from a busybox installer from the market! that should fix it if su is OK.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:

That's my video :-) and no, no fixes yet unfortunately. I spoke to Samsung last week and they were still looking into it. I plan to call them again this week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wave1990:
keep me informed ...... thank you!

do you think is a software problem? or a hardware problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protonus:
I am nearly certain that it is a software problem, a bug in the touch controller driver. Famous android Dev supercurio agreed with me, and said tha the touchscreen controller gets recalibrated every time you turn on the screen, which would make sense why the problem goes away when you turn the screen off/on again - yet it affects all apps until you do. It seems like the touchscreen driver is getting a response it can't interpret when playing landscape multitouch games, and it breaks the calibration - and this broken calibration affects everything once it happens. Then you turn the screen off/on again, it recalibrates, and it's fine. For these reasons I believe it's only a software bug, and one they can fix with an OTA update.

If I thought it was a hardware problem, I would have returned the phone. I love the phone otherwise, and I assume they will fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wave1990:
I do not know if you develop .... but you could create a fix that recalibrates the driver every tap on the screen!

is an idea =)
