This is a known behaviour, all u8800's and similar devices have the same problem.

The battery % is calculated using battery temperature as well as other factors - the battery is hotter during charge, and when you remove the charger, it drops as the system calculates the %. Do not worry about it. There is a well-written explanation somewhere here, if I find it I will add it into this post.

You have to go back to v4. No need to wipe anything though, so you won't loose nothing. Beware of the ****ty camera and overall worse performance though, especially when using it for a few days, performance degrades a lot compared to v5.

Re: [ROM] Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 18

The problem that really needs to be fixed is the wifi reboots. On aurora v4 we didn't had those wifi reboots why is it so difficult to fix from one version to the other?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
its clearly explained by dzo and many others in this thread, if u care to read a little more before making such comments..

and anyone with a little bit of programming knowledge wouldnt even make such an ignorant comment..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nikeradsn:
Re: [ROM] Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 18

Man I know that it is caused by a buggy driver... And that aurora v4 is different from v5. But if it was fixed on v4 why can't it be fixed on v5? It's not a dumb question. Bugs exist to be fixed. I don't have the proper knowledge about programing to understand what is really going on. I'm sorry. But I see people complaining all day about little bugs while the wifi reboots are one of the major bugs that are preventing this rom to be almost perfect. For me everything is running as it should except for the wifi reboots, which are annoying but I still think this is one of the best roms for our phone for daily use.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
thats why i said only ppl without programming knowledge would ask repeatedly for a "fix" for the problem.. cos this is not just a driver bug issue.. the drive may not be perfectly written, but its not the main reason here..

the problem is caused by memory fragmentation after a period of phone usage as i understand, which in term is aggravated by our limited 512MB RAM (actually just 3xxMB) available. its not that aurora 4.0 does not have wifi issues.. there are i assure you.. just that with 4.0 its not that demanding and thus the problem does not show up so frequently, or probably wont show up with light usage patterns.. 5.0 uses a brand new kernel (from the pro sources) and we all (well at least the technical-minded guys) know that everything branded "new" comes with a trade-off.. they are cooler, probably faster, fancier, etc., at the expense of less stabler, more resource-demanding, higher battery-draining, etc..

dzo already made effort in optimising the memory usage and recovery in case of memory module collapse, and i have experienced far fewer reboots ever since..

while maybe this wifi issue is not a problem that cant be solved, solving may mean spending such a long time and human effort that doing so is not worthwhile.. thats why i said ppl with programming knowledge can understanding more.. everything is possible with programming (as bosses always say), but given the resource restrictions, only few of them are actually feasible..

anyway off-topic for too long.. gonna stop here..

Re: [ROM] Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 18

V4 wifi was worse, it drops connection and never connected back which dzo fixed that very well. V5 sometimes reboots but it's not a big deal. Whining about this, is like a spoiled child without any teeth wanting alot more candy.

Re: [ROM] Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 18

Those are not issues.

1. It's meant to turn WiFi off, because you can't share that WiFi where your phone is connected to some other device.

2. Are you saying that you don't get any icon or notification when you connect headphones, if so that is normal.

Portable Wi-Fi hotspot is feature that shares your phones internet connection to some other device (for example to other phone)

For example your friend can use your mobile operators internet connection with his/her phone. (You share it to he/she)

Your phones internet connection can NOT be Wi-Fi, it must be 2g, 3g or 4g to share it to other device.

If you are trying to get internet connection to your phone, then you DON'T need to use Wi-Fi hotspot. Just use Wi-Fi. :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Beware of soundabout, it messes the headphone detection once it's uninstalled. I mean, it settings are not returned to original, then the ROM will have broken headphone detection.

Re: [ROM] Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 18

I think that there is some misunderstanding between us. :p

You can only share your mobiles network, not Wi-Fi. If you want to share your mobiles internet connection which is provided by operator (3g), then use Wi-Fi hotspot.

For those who want to avoid wifi reboots.

After I've read the explanation behind wifi reboots, I found that ending all tasks and then turning on wifi won't reboot anymore, at least for me, since yesterday I'm not having a reboot. You can use a task killer with a widget on main screen.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dolfius:
Re: [ROM] Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 18

Correction: you share your phone's 2g/3g connection OVER Wifi. In other words, when you switch on your hotspot, others devices can access the Internet using your service provider, via Wifi.

So, if your Wifi switches off when activating wireless tethering (not USB), there's most likely a problem.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
Re: [ROM] Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 18

That's what I'm trying to say.

But there isn't problem. You can't be connected to WiFi when you are sharing internet over WiFi.

When your phone is WiFi hotspot, it's wireless access point.

Yeah, I have found a way that seems to work reliably for me using system tuner (free app) - I need to get the phone back to running Aurora and grab some screenshots, but basically I set the android memory management to "aggressive" or "very aggressive" so unused memory is freed quickly. Caveat - this phone has been relegated to "dev/test" so I'm not really using it, but I can certainly turn wifi on/off, load and exit big apps, and still toggle wifi repeatedly and not have it fault.

Like I said earlier this is for those who don't want to experience wifi reboots, just free up some memory(RAM).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
As you can see, this doesn't work for everybody - it has to be contiguous RAM allocation.

Changing the memory management parameters works better for me, because it keeps the memory free *all* the time, thereby helping keep the free memory in contiguous blocks. Still, not a perfect solution, but works well enough for me.

AW: [ROM] Aurora ICS 4.0.4 for u8800 - Version 5.0 update 18

Yesterday my battery was empty after just 17 hours, even though the phone was just lying on my desk. It was awake the whole time, because of a kernel wakelock by rpc_read.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Reboot and watch for it happening again. I'm pretty sure one of your apps got stuck in a sync operation.

The other option is that your sdcard may have corrupt data on it, the best option is to copy the data off, format it (from inside the phone) and copy the data back on.

Someone may want to correct me, but I believe rpc_read and the rpcrouter are to do with the interconnect between the baseband and the rest of the system, so it most likely is data-related. However, it also controls the bridge to the sdcard read/write system. I'm guessing a bit, but I googled heaps and found very little human words, but lots of code.

Just loaded it on now, will let you know how it goes.

One thing though, I did the usual rename of wpa_suppliant_alt to get the wifi working as usual, but this time it didn't work.

In Root Explorer, I noticed that the permissions were different between wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant_alt. I mirrored the permissions from wpa_supplicant over to wpa_supplicant_alt which then made Wifi work.

Perhaps the permissions aren't set right in the zip file?
