I have found a bug on the browser. Whenever I switch tabs by just sliding, instead of going into the all open tabs menu and choosing the one I want, if I press the menu button and choose "refresh" or any other option, it will work only for the tab I was previously on.

Also if I try to drag down the address bar, it won't work.

Same over here :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fri13:
Battery statics wiping does not help because U8800 does not use it. It meters voltage and calculates by that the battery level in real time. That's the reason why you might sometimes get 15% battery status warning when in heavy use but when shutting down heavy load process it goes back to 25-30% when voltage rises.

Correction, I HAD the data connection but then after recharge (never rebooting phone) I lost again the 3G connection and I am without it since then (three days now) without any way to get it back.

It is one of the few terrible bugs in current 3.1-u5 why I would not recommend ICS_Aurora to daily use or as stable.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkado:
sure glad i never had any of those deal breaker bugs
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] forumber2:
and this bug is really frustrating.Sometimes, i'm staying in difficult situations.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Volume keys are reset when the phone comes out of 'deep sleep' so just switch the display off (when not on charge) and wait a minute or so. I'll do the reset more often in the next kernel which should help.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
I hope this will not reduce our battery life significantly?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Dzo. I'm buying a galaxy nexus. My question is, after I update to latest stock rom, is it possible to use Mms.apk from this Aurora? I want it because of the strip Unicode!

Best regards. I hope my donation was received by you. We don't have any 'receipt'...

Really really weird stuff is going on!

In:

Update_4

Bluetooth works perfectly, Wi-Fi cannot be switched on.

Update_5

Bluetooth cannot be switched on, Wi-Fi works perfectly.

Anyone else has same issues or it is just me???

Imei is ok.

I'm looking forward to flashing the upcoming update!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] thachtunganh:
Hi dzo, i saw that in the changelog of 2.09 version, you said you made the wifi module smaller (from 2MB to 800K), how did you do that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
People when I block the phone the light, and led, is always blinking with the blue color. How to turn off.. Is eating a lot of battery.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Silent_Fang:
Hey Dzo, I'm also experiencing problems similar to erkkiboy83, these are that apps will randomly close, and a generally slow user experience.

Looking into it I can see that the system is using nearly all of it's ram, leaving only around 5-10mb even if I just reboot the phone and don't open anything other than the settings.

I'm no expert but from what I can tell a system process is leaking and taking up most of the memory, this then causes the active apps to be flushed from memory, closing them, in order to make room for this system process.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Some programs may not need a start order to start... like facebook, instagram, etc... Each time you connect to the internet they "sense" it and start syncing with the server... All at the same time... Each time I connect to a wi-fi router I have to wait a bit because everything starts syncing... In 3G it doesn't happen.

Perhaps you have too much social applications installed (this phone was designed with Android 2.2 in mind which needed significantly less memory to the operating system. As we are using ICS, we have to deal with less ram)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Silent_Fang:
Thanks for the help, but that isn't the case. I have done a clean install of the rom without installing anything and this still occurs, I probably should have mentioned this to begin with...

Also, if you look at the running processes the culprit isn't listed, suggesting it is happening outside of the user-space.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
For me about 200MB of RAM are used and about 160MB are free (manage apps -> running). Please revert to factory settings within the ICS settings menu and if this does not solve your problem immediately, reflash the ROM (with wiping etc.). Backup your call history, SMS etc. with MyBackup Root which does an excellent job. It also backups programs, but I use Titanium Backup for this task.

Maybe this is because of an application you installed previously. Check each program you download, maybe one of them is the cause.

XphX
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Silent_Fang:
Alright cheers, I'll give that another shot when I get a spare chance. Also, just for reference, what exactly should I be wiping when I do it from within recovery? I usually do a data/factory reset from the main recovery menu.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
I wipe data and cache in the main menu and then the dalvik cache in the advanced section.

XphX
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Silent_Fang:
Okay, doing the reset from within ICS didn't fix it.

I then tried a fresh flash again after wiping data, cache and dalvik but I still have the problems.

However, I flashed an old version (2.04) to see if the problem is with a more recent version. I had run 2.04 in the past without these memory problems so I figured that would be a good place to start. I'll report back with what I find.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Do you use any rom manager? I used a ram manager a while ago just to find out that it was breaking the memory management in the u8800.

Uninstalled and now I have this (attached)

I found a strange thing... My battery lasts ~17h if I use 2G and ~1d10h if I use 3G... Isn't that weird?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Silent_Fang:
I don't use anything like a ram manager at all, like I said before I'm getting these problems on a clean flash with nothing installed, not even my google account signed in. Also, upon my further examination, I don't have these problems in 2.04, so apparently it's a problem with the current release that only effect me...

I reflashed 3.5 update 5, and now it's working fine. I don't understand why the first time I flashed it (even though I flashed it twice) I had no 3G connection, then I downgraded to 3.0 and everything looked fine.. now I thought I'd give it another shot.. and it worked :)

When I flashed it, I got stuck at bootscreen, but then I went in recovery again and flashed it again.. and it worked fine now I have latest version with 3g again.

One thing I don't understand is, I use Advanced Task Killer and when I kill all programes sometimes I get 140MB of free memory and sometimes I only get like 65MB, even though all tasks are killed. This happened in 3.0 and is still happening in 3.1.. any explanation for this?

I have no problems so far.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I added usb host once but it really slowed down regular usb transfers for some reason and I don't have anything to test it with so I disabled it. I'm really not interested in TV Out, the setting in that thread definitely won't work.

Weird bluetooth

Just noticed today, that bluetooth doesn't work properly.

I had two situations where I tried to send third party apk:

1.Phone didn't pair with SGS3, didn't even see SGS3. (S3 did see the U8800)

2.Data transfer with Galaxy xcover didn't work. I tried after SGS3 and I could pair it with xcover, but after I start transfering data nothing happened it just said sending..

Any idea what might be wrong?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maneet21:

?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
It's already activated in the OS itself; images and music on internal storage are indexed by applications, and can be browsed with file explorer by going to /HWUserData from root.

If you want it browseable from a computer when connected via USB, I think you must enable MTP mode from Settings -> Storage -> (Menu button) -> USB computer connection

Just be aware that back when MTP was first featured, some people claimed it could delete data at random. Not sure if people using MTP have had that problem since - haven't seen any reports on it.

About the Saunalahti "roaming fix" mentioned earlier: if you guys meant manual network selection it's worked fine for me since dzo fixed it a few versions ago.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Well, the time had to come :)

I'm staying on this phone for now... It's fast and smooth... I'm pretty sure that if I buy a new one all I'll do is regret that, because I'd probably be spending 300+ € to get no new features...

We still got Blefish and I've been checking his git-hub out... He's very skilled! :) Anyway, thanks a lot for the hard work, dzo... You made a great ROM for this phone...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Let's not rush things though. I'm sure dzo will work on both projects :D And if not, yes, only good things to say about what all he's has done for our community!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
I think DZO will keep u8800 alive, he's just modding kernel over there. Maybe he updates less frequently, but the ROM is becoming very good.

On facebook, Huawei said that is rolling out ICs to most of devices (including U8800Pro) so maybe U8800 can be upgraded too and this can improve Aurora much more.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mbinx:
Well, he makes this forum more active, and make my phone more interesting..

So thanks dzo.. so much..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Well, XDA sent me a One S, so I do have to do something for it, but I'm definitely still working on u8800. I think I figured out exactly why the volume keys were failing so expect that to be fixed soon and I'll update to the new CAF release.

I probably won't be able to make as frequent updates as I have in the past and I'm away all next week but I haven't given up.

Hi,

I think I am also experiencing fast battery drain. I updated from update 4 to update 5 yesterday and this morning i had 20% down during night.

restarts - 2-4x per day

still having sometimes problems with connection - wifi waking after sleep and since 3.1 very rarely also data (2G) problems - internet just stops working and data must be switched off and on again.

any way how to force 2G/3G switcher in notification bar work? it does nothing..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hmarques:
X2. I'm on the last update since it's been released, and so far so good. better than ever battery life, wifi and 3g working fine, absolutely no big issues.

That's the only phone I have now, so after a week I can say it's totally stable for daily use.

Small issues:

- SMS limited to 60 caracthers - it's a problem with some special caracthers from portuguese, but I read somewhere there's a simple fix for that. Not to worried because I don't send many SMS;

- can't connect to some Fon APs - again I know there's a fix, but wifi is so good by now... Not on the mood to take risks on it.

Dzo, thanks for your great work and specially for staying with us even If you have other projects!

Thanks a million mate

I have also a question, updated from 2.04 to 3.1 u5 . And see that the Gui of the radio has changed ( no problem there ).

But when I want to listen to the radio, my volume goes from mute, 1 click on the + volume button, the circle moves a little bit to the right, but still no sound, 2nd click, again the volume circle moves a little bit, but the volume is loud and only goes louder from there on. I'm not going to get deaf of it, but it's still loud!

Anyone know, if there is some kind of file I could edit to change it? My running ear plugs don't have any volume control of there own.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I've tried to fix this a few time by modifying the audio parameters but nothing seems to make a difference. I suspect this may be a hardware problem and could be the reason the FM radio was never included in the official ROM.

This was bugging me ever since 4.0.4 was introduced!

EDIT: after modding android.policy.jar to have volume wake, now it takes two clicks on the volume keys to wake up the phone :D Not a big deal and it's not Rom's fault either because no one if forced to mod stock files :D

I don't have this problem waking the phone with volume keys. I use the latest patch from the general thread and it works normally.

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
That's because Android.policy.jar is very different in this build, and strings will be wrong. To use volume wake, you have to mod the new one. Strings are correct here, and I reported badly, it doesn't require two presses of the volume keys, it's working as before... :-)
