There's really nothing I can do about wifi stability, The driver is the latest and it will most likely never be updated. It's just that the wcn1312 doesn't seem to have completely stable hardware. The hardware has been improved a lot now since it's the basis of the wifi in the msm8960 but that doesn't help us. You can try changing some parameters in the .ini file but that probably won't help much. I guess this is why hw switched to broadcom for the pro and -51 models.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jegr6:
regarding wifi I used the "wifix manager" from play store like a user mentioned here before and actually had very good results. you can always try for yourself but for me it worked well, no wifi drops till now and very good speed
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
Bad news then :(

It's a major problem since many times the wifi gets stuck and a lot of voip calls are missed plus real time notifications about emails etc.

On the first Aurora releases that were using the 2.6.35 kernel there weren't issues with the wifi though. I would rather have a stable Aurora with good wifi and the 2.6.35 kernel rather a good camera with 3.0.8 and bad wifi.

Anyway again thank you very much dzo for your hard work and you've really done an excellent work on this, in the end there is nothing you can do about crappy hardware indeed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
The problem in 5.0, at least here, is not wifi drops or low speeds, it is when turning on the wifi never works until a reboot. It happens all the time. In aurora 4.1 that was fixed for good, never have this problem there...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GeorgeManim:
I guess I'll stick in the 4.1.1a, I have never, ever seen a reboot!

Nothing crashes. Wifi works very well!

The only problem is that the cpu doesn't sleep all the time, so the battery drain is a little bit high, but I'll live with it...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
Like fjsferreira said, it's fine when it turns on, but right now every 3rd or so time it doesn't and requires a reboot. This is just like it was back in the 2.x and 3.x versions where you used the normal, large driver that could not be loaded, because of a lack of ram. Maybe this gives you an idea?

For me, wifi was almost perfect in 4.1u1 :)

HELLO DZO

Sorry, I didn't mean to repeat a question, but the problem is, there is a part of the machine will appear such circumstance, gallery exists in the MP4 format video gallery will freeze restart time, mobile phone, MP4 was deleted file is normal, may I ask how is this going? Thank you!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hung.ngomanh:
So strange, people are complaining about Wifi in v4 and v5, but i'm using wifi driver from 2.04 and it work fine for me both on Aurora v4.1a and v5.0.

The problem for me on Aurora 5.0 is camera:

- The image is blurred when taking with any iso (never had in v4.1a)

- Video capturing with SCN= Action in the low light environments has problem, when changing SCN = Action, the screen is darker than the real environment at that time, cant see anything clear through camera screen. View fps property this video on PC has 15fps only :(

- Atmel screen has some random "touch", i mean i have no touch, but it has performed the action like that. (on Camera screen, and when unlock screen like some pp reported.)

The battery life in Aurora 5.0 is better than 4.1a without Paul's kernel, i've lost 5% overnight, only overnight when screen off (about 9 hours)

And thanks to dzo, hope you keep the great working on u8800 :):silly:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unicorn9x:
yeah that's right, can you please fix this bug, this rom is perfect beside this bug!:good: every second or third time turn on wifi through power widget, it's just stuck, have to restart to fix

it's because the crappy camera hardware, not rom's fault, he try his best, dont complain about that, this phone camera is useless in my opinion... :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] natna:
I agree. X5 camera hardware is worst than a Nokia 3mp 5 years ago... Don't expect much more. I am very thankfull that dzo brought our phone so far away from its miserable start. I'd also like to see a jbean rom from him. Even a test one...;)

We could use those versions, in fact I use 4.1 myself, but the new camera is amazing, the 30fps video in good light rivals my video Olympus video camera... its a shame not be able to have both wifi and camera working great on the same ROM... but wifi definately is more important and if Dzo continues to develop the ROM but is unable to fix wifi, I'll be very very sad :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Not on my phone it doesn't.

The bars turn blue and some data connections are successful if the packets are small or the amount of data is trivial. But for anything that requires serious amounts of data like downloading apps, the data connection fails. This is both 2g and 3g.

As an IT engineer I would suggest the mtu is too small on the mobile data interface.

Does anyone know how to check, or change, the mtu?

I have the same problem with data after extensive use at MIUI. I had this with Aurora also...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
It's very frustrating, with the Wifi issues on all the newer u8800 ROM's I want to use mobile data full-time, but it won't work!

My best guess is MTU, but I will double-check the APN's. It's on my wife's phone so I can't check until this evening.

Even more frustrating is that it's the same city and mobile network as @dzo uses so I'd expect it to be rock solid.

But it's not his daily phone so I wonder if the issue has been there a while and he's not noticed?

I spent 4 hours yesterday loading every edition of Aurora from 3.1 onwards with full wipes in between, in case it was a version issue.

My only next possible step is to re-flash the official 2.3.5 in case there is a problem (I re-upgraded from CM7 yesterday morning).

If this was for one of my customers I'd have advised them to buy a new phone!! With the pending release of the Nexus 4 (YAY!) I can see this X5 becoming a paper weight :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nagato.fm:
Having a problem since flashing 5.0: sometimes after a reboot I can't make any change in phone settings. Found it when was trying to enable auto-brightness some days ago. Never faced such an issue before. Also sometimes my /system folder goes r/o and I have to remount it r/w using some 3rd software from market. Anyone knows what can cause such a problem? The most interesting fact that now I have the same issue on 4.1 (I flashed 4.1 on top of 5.0 so that's the reason I think).

P.S.: I've already tried to fix permissions, it has no influence at all. Also I don't want to reflash aurora again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ChrisX5:
Confirming others' experience

Mostly working well on Aurora 5.0 experimental with update 1. Wifi connects with good download speeds. When switching to 3G data, downloads work but cannot re-establish a wifi connection without rebooting. Auto brightness is a bit erratic, but it seemed to work in reverse on 4.1 (not brightening in strong light). At this early stage no reboots, but those had become quite regular events on 4.1 in the last month or so.

The camera is now very impressive.

This update is called "experimental". Would that all experiments could be so successful. If you are holding back - waiting for perfection - then I suggest that you update soon. Most people seem satisfied.

Thank you dzo. Another piece of impressive wizardry.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
OK data issue solved. APN's. :p

So, the 4x APN's for 2degrees NZ that come with this ROM are not quite right. Two of them are not required, and simply cause the system to use the wrong default setting. I mirrored the APN settings off my Nexus and now everything works perfectly, including send/receive of MMS.

Hi dzo,

Can you give me the update 4.1a WITHOUT disable video focus ?

I really want the focusing feature while recording video, and i try Aurora 5.0 but i have problem with the image taking, the image is blurred.(also had this problem on newest Elora) :(

I've tried v3.1 update 5, and 4.1, and it works fine for me, everything will be amazing with me if the 4.1a have the focusing while recording video.

Hope you can spend some times to do this.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I found the reboots to be linked to disk access.

From my own experimentation, use something like System Tiner (Play store, free) to change the i/o scheduler to noop and 256 or 512 cache.

Reboots stopped after I did that.

dzo, is the photo date (always at 2002?) issue resolved or going to be resolved?

this is so far the only thing that prevents me from updating to 5.0..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
The attached update should fix it. Otherwise, this is the same as update1.

There's no harm in trying 5.0 since you should be able to easily go back to 4.1 without any wipes, they are the same version of android.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
@dzo is it appropriate to put the 5.0u1 and 5.0u1a updates into code.google.com and mention them on the change log?

Or are they not really for public consumption?

I've recently flashed 5.0 but didn't realise there was an update1.

Does u1a require u1, or is u1a cumulative?

Cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
u1a and u1 have exactly the same file content, so i think u1a is cumulative update (which is also a dzo tradition in providing updates)..

:DDear DZO

Thank you so much for your hadr working.I think I have found some reasons leading to the mobile phone rebooting that. It is audio driving.When I use my phone to listening to music, it will be rebooted at any time.This is not only an individual case.If you have time, please check the audio driving since the rebooting problem is really trouble me too much.Even all the editions will have such problems.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] be-answer:
…

what iwant to say is i am always respect dzo .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Here's a test update with a few changes.

It has a much more aggressive low memory killer which should help with wifi not turning on. I spent some time looking at this and the problem is that the wifi driver asks for large regions of contiguous physical memory. After some time, the memory gets so fragmented that it fails to allocate it.

The other change is that it enables the PM_RUNTIME option, this might help with power consumption when the phone is on but it may also make things worse. Let me know either way.

This also includes everything in the other updates.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
For people saying the camera takes out-of focus pics, can you make sure that "Focus Mode" is set to Auto and not Continuous. For some reason Continuous Autofocus doesn't work.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MaRcIuPT:
fo me the new kernel its worse in camera. I mean its like the 4.1 more slow to focus. and most of the times when its open can't take pictures right away(it does nothing). need to wait some minutes after force close.

edit: and a reboot after 10minutes with new kernel. I'm not with the sim card because I'm waiting for a important call

edit2: when slow to focus I mean when, for the phone, its low light. with 5.0 takes half of the time

This is a long-standing issue with this ROM, use "No Frills CPU" from the market (or similar app) to set the I/O Scheduler to "noop".

If you use System Tuner (free, from the market) then you can also boost the file handle cache a bit (I use "256" and "noop" and it's really stable).
