I've forgot to mention- my Wifi AP is using wpa2 with AES encryption

Other thoughts- confirmation dialogs in recovery would be usefull (I've wiped storage by mistake today....)

[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
I agree with u 100% that confirmation dialogs should be included. I've accidentally formatted before, thinking it would confirm. +1

Wunderful !

I can finally look back videos with sound.

Great Thanks!

WPA TKIP

I have changed the encryption-settings to WPA TKIP (former: WPA+ WPA2) on the fritzbox 3270.

Now everthing works fine!
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
my results seem inconclusive. previously, Wifi seemed to not reconnect for me after i turned my screen of (without manually turning wifi off then on again). I installed the test firmware, and it seemed to work good, however i booted back into sde firmware, and the problem seems to be gone there now? Doesn't make sense to me

if it helps:

Same result as official 4.0.4 update on my 101 G9 16Go Turbo tab (OMAP 4430 ES2.3)

* WiFi is still not working with my access point (D-Link DAP 1160 WPA2-AUTO), but i works quite well with my HTC phone when sharing 3G connexion (as i've got optical fiber connection, i'm not happy with just 3G internet),

* No sound on my Samsung video projector when connecting it through HDMI cable,

[Gen9 Android Development] GraemeJones:
Updated earlier today, fixed my Wi-Fi issues. Connections now solid and fast. Never had a problem with HDMI, can confirm it still works though.

Thank you Archos!!!!
[Gen9 Android Development] stooby:
Thanks! It works much better on wifi than before, but still not perfect.

I'm using it with an 802.11g network and WEP encryption (I know!)

Still occasionally loses connection, but nowhere near as often.

Haven't been able to test HDMI yet.
[Gen9 Android Development] skicavs:
Loses connection less frequently but still a bit unstable

Thanks for the updated firmware, it is great to see Archos taking such an active role

My router is an Airport Express 802.11g w/ WPA

With the update, the tablet drops connection less frequently and always seems to pick it up quickly but still a bit unstable.

The tablet works perfectly for 8 hours spans without internet but as soon as you connect to a secure Wifi it rarely goes 30 minutes without requiring a hard reset. This happens less frequently when syncing is turned off but still makes the tablet pretty worthless for web browsing and the like.
[Gen9 Android Development] uberNoobZA:
Update - my G9 is still having wifi issues but less frequently. My browser sometimes reports `no internet ` before it loads page anyway and sometimes when I unlock my g9, it briefly shows `no internet connection` on the notification bar. Seems to me like it is dropping wifi completely when not in active use. However I cannot find anywhere to set/change this in settings
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
I have Wifi Problem when i use the Galaxy Nexus 3g as connection sharing
[Gen9 Android Development] Jim_81:
I installed the new firmware yesterday. The mini-HDMI port works properly (both video and audio).

However i encounter a problem that i didn't have until now. The level of the sound decreases rapidly using the volume keys. The sound is almost muted when the slider of the volume control is set at 50% approximately.

[Gen9 Android Development] 4carlos:
fritzbox 3270 should work

moin,

hope your hardware is similar my 101 g9. to get fast and stable wifi on 3270, change your router settings.

hardware/firmware : archos 101 g9, avm fb 3270, current rooted ics from surdu_petru

we have at home a fritzbox 3270 too. since 4.04, the connection via wep (i own some older devices) is very bad with a lot of breakes every few seconds. mr. google shows a lot of topic related posting in the web but only one fixes my problem:

i changed from wep to wpa/tkip. that's all. reconnect your tablet and keep the defaults in dialog untouched. only the key is needed!

(there are some comments about settings for power saving or ssid only in capital letters too, but this was not important in my case)

wifi works for me now and i can wait for a final fix from archos.

the 3270 offer for testing purposes a special mode, called "guest account" in wlan settings. configuration is easy. try it first before you change the main settings ;)

(written with my tablet via 3270. uptime is 3d14h48m without any network problem)
[Gen9 Android Development] eep1:
Helped wifi

Seems to have helped the wifi. Can not test HDMI though.

Edit: I was able to watch more than five minutes of netflix with out buffering so much better.
[Gen9 Android Development] benoitb85:
The wifi works much better (maybe perfectly ? I will have to test for longer to be totally sure).

I really appreciate that Archos uses XDA to test new firmwares and doesn't try to do it alone. It will help achieve stability.

My Archos is the 80 with omap 4430 es 2.3
[Gen9 Android Development] duncaneidaho:
Can you try to get some logs from your AP ?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
There is no logging unfortunately, AP (pc based one) runs using built-in win7 internet connection sharing. Windows Event Viewer doesn't say much
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
UPDATE:

I'm messing with linux based softAP: 802.11n, no security, AdHoc (I can't make this work as Infrastructure)- Gen9 doesn't even see the network, Desire connects properly
[Gen9 Android Development] gibovl:
hi

want to ask if this modified rom will break any current apps installed or reformat the whole tablet? I have configured my tab to my liking [apps, settings etc.] and I don't want to do it all over again.

tia
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
No it won't mess up anything. your apps and settings will persist.
[Gen9 Android Development] gibovl:
thank you Sir (or Ma'm)
[Gen9 Android Development] steve adams:
No change on my signal strength. Had no signal issues before ics, but had a laggy user interface. After the ics update, the tablet is much smoother, but my signal strength has been reduced to nil at times. Hopefully this will be sorted soon.
[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
All: thank you very much for your testing and reports.

I see that we are making progress but there are still some issues left.

We have a new firmware ready for you to test including some Wi-Fi changes:

Thank you for your help/feedback and patience.
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
My charger port broke on my tablet so I can't test this. waiting for an email back for my repair request! but this is great archos is actually putting out test firmwares instead of new firmwares every week that dont work
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Wifi is the only thing changed?
[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
No there is also VPN fixed.
[Gen9 Android Development] cajl:
Thank you Mister Courville
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Quick test- wifi is better. It still brakes connection after ~60-90 seconds but reconnects faster.

[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
I have an issue since the ICS update, the touch screen has an issue, when i tap in 2 different places at the same time, all is ok, but if i keep tapping one of the 2 fingers while holding the other, the point that is associated with the finger that is maintained on the screen disappeares... this makes playing some games impossible, not that i play games that much, it's just annoying when i want to play games like zombieville where you have to move and shoot... (and yes, i have tried re-formatting my device and re-calibrating my touch screen)
[Gen9 Android Development] nicusasch:
Bonjour Archos,

thank you for the Test Firmware. I have a Good and a Bad news:

the bad one: After standby the tablet freezes and reboot

the good one: The wlan problem is solved!

Info: archos 80 G9 1GHz

Router: Fritzbox 7320

Merci et un Salut d`allemagne
[Gen9 Android Development] uberNoobZA:
Thanks. Have installed it. After reboot, it optimized applications and then it said 'Starting applications' and froze. I had to shutdown and restart. It then optimkized 17 applications again and started fine.

Will feedback once I've had a chance to use the tablet on wifi a bit more (just got the Archos 3G Dongle, so using that now - it rocks :-) )
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
One more little bug is still present- when backlight is set to lowest possible value it flickers (using newest test firmware). I had the same problem on Honeycomb also. Not a big deal but it's annoying
[Gen9 Android Development] steve adams:
Could be worse, you could have a new multi dollar ipad 3 that when you turn up the screen more than 3/4s it burns your legs etc. their answer.....Your holding it wrong. sorta like your holding the iphone 4 wrong causing issues with the antenna. I have never had my 80g9 at lowest back light setting, im about 1/4 up, nice and bright but saves alot of battery.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Backlight flickering is annoying, IMHO it's a software only problem- backlight driver is not 100% compatible with LCD (backlight signal is out of range or on the edge) or it generates wrong signal for lowest backlight value
[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
can you please disclose if your product is a 80G9 or 101G9?

Thank you
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It's 101G9 16GB (A101S-v5, omap4430 ES2.2)
[Gen9 Android Development] Jim_81:
Mini-HDMI port is working fine.

I 'm still experiencing issues with the sound volume as i have already mentioned (sound almost muted at 40-50%).
[Gen9 Android Development] steve adams:
I'm having a weird issue, since updating to ics when I hit the back button it brings me back 2 sometimes three times as far. For example when I'm searching eBay, and I view an item, and want to back out of that item, it will bring me back two maybe three pages and always at the top of the page. Or when I'm in a topic here, and hit back it brings me back to the g8/9 main forms instead of the sub forum I was in.
[Gen9 Android Development] realismo:
Same here, the sound volume is quite low, almost muted at the lower ranges of the volume bar.
[Gen9 Android Development] theguy:
I posted this in another thread but realise this thread is probably the right place for it.

I can confirm this bug affects ICS builds after testing on honeycomb.

When playing a game or using two finger input, when holding one finger down and tapping with a second finger after several taps of the second finger the first finger is no longer detected.

A good way of seeing this is on GTA 3, hold the accelerator button down while tapping to steer and after a few taps to steer the accelerator touch button stops responding until you take your finger off and press again.

[Gen9 Android Development] huppe:
Still having problems with the hdmi-output with my g9 101 turbo 16gb ics and test 4.05. By problems I mean that I haven't seen a picture even once since I got my tab. Have tried with 3 different televisions and keeping the cable connected while rebooting. I've formated the whole device 3 times with fresh firmware. I also have brand new mini hdmi to hdmi. Everything else is working quite nicely. Wifi has worked perfectly on many different networks and I've not experienced too many crashes or fcs. Only thing I am missing now is hdmi-output and hi10p support (I guess the later one is bit a out of reach).

Any updates on these? I am not asking for working firmware right now. Just asking for few words. Have seen people saying that they have "slight" problems with their hdmi output. Audio sync and such. Feeling like I am the only one with the black screen. Would also be nice to know what is your take on hi10p and if there is any plans to support it.

And then ofc thanks for all your hard work. 2 tests builds in so little time is amazing. Keep up your good work.
[Gen9 Android Development] TjaXanK:
Having the same issue here, so it's a fw problem for sure.... quite annoying when you play games like gta, zombieville or shadowgun...
[Gen9 Android Development] steve adams:
courville, can you look into this for us? Its great that an Archie tech is on our forum. I'm more satisfied with purchase of archos gear now. At least if I have an issue someone is close by...thanks!
[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
Thank you for reporting this weird behavior: indeed this is an android touch event processing regression introduced in ICS. We are investigating the issue.
[Gen9 Android Development] DarkhShadow:
Is this the same bug as the one where touches aren't accurate?

[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
All: official 4.0.5 is out. It contains some minor additional fixes but nothing new on the Wi-Fi front compared to the test firmware.

For the fritzbox and speedsport owners (Atheros based AP): we are working on the issue with our Wi-Fi chipset provider, we have over the air captures of the issue. Please stay tuned.
[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
BTW the problem you describe should be fixed in the 4.0.5 release that is available now.
[Gen9 Android Development] theguy:
I have tested and can confirm this bug has been fixed.

Many thanks.
[Gen9 Android Development] svennimann:
Tested 4.0.5 official and can confirm that wifi works on a o2 router (chipset huawai)

(4.0.4 was a mess)

Thank you archos, thank you Courville.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
No luck for me- installed official 4.0.5 and still wifi disconnects randomly (but I'm more and more convinced that mine usb wifi card or it's drivers are to blame)
[Gen9 Android Development] duncaneidaho:
What about RTL8186 based AP? My D-Link DAP1160 is based on this chipset and I'm still not able to connect to it via my tablet since the update.

Regards,
[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
Can you please grab the logs after attempting to connect to your AP using the following LogExtractor apk: http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/debug/LogExtractor.apk

It generates a zip at the root of your product that contains all the logs.

Thank you
[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
OK let's now continue the little game of fixing HDMI for all.

For those who are experiencing no image/no sound on your TV even with 4.0.5 (I am interested in only these), could you please report if this test firmware will solve your issues?

http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_4.0.5-TEST2/firmware_archos_it4.aos

Thank your for your testing.
[Gen9 Android Development] duncaneidaho:
Log from logcat provided here ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23699945&postcount=15 ) are not good for you?

They have been realised with 4.0.4, but behavior remains the same on the tablet:

1-Associating,

2-Authenticating,

3-Fetching IP and back to step 1 without any IP.

Note : I can not see DHCP logs in my DHCP server.
[Gen9 Android Development] courville:
It is just fine. Thank you.
[Gen9 Android Development] realismo:
Hello courville, I have continous disconnection problem while I'm trying to download sd data files for anything. As I noticed except while I'm using 11b connection type, which is actually quite thin. TP-LINK wifi Router (TL-WR642G), I don't know anybody have same issues, but on the other hand the wifi while I'm browsing or downloading little files seems okay. Ty for your work man!

Edit: Oh it seems doesn't matter what type of connection, 11b was luck. :(
[Gen9 Android Development] bkromhout:
SD Card problems

Hey courville, ever since updating to the first test build of ICS (It worked on the very first release of ICS) I have been having problems with writing to my SD card with anything other than the stock files application.

For example, I've been unable to delete or move files to the sdcard when using both QuickPic and MX Video Player. Now even in the latest official release, 4.0.5, it still doesn't work.

Can you comment on this at all? Was something changed on the first test firmware that differed from the first ICS release (The regular 4.0.4)? Because, like I said, it worked fine on that, it only showed up in the first test firmware. I hope you can help me out here!
[Gen9 Android Development] uberNoobZA:
Courville, thanks for all the help you give us here. Do you know if this version of the ROM has addressed the issue of the screen sometimes not being as accurate in detection where you touch after ICS update ? Post here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557635

Wifi update:

It seems that TI wlan chip "just doesn't like" my Atheros based AP- Xperia Arc S (wl12xx driver in use) also has problems with connection- connects then drops connection, just as 101 Gen9.

Jjust a reminder: SoftAP on win7- ar9271 usb wlan, wpa2-psk using AES encryption

EDIT:

I've found possible casue- wifi card is not switched to Master mode but to STA+AP. My old rt2870 based card (ralink, 802.11g, I've changed it because of sh**y PCB antenna) uses 'pure' AP mode- there is no problem with connection.

Mar 27 07:44:56 wlan0: A STA is rejected by 802.1x daemon - 90:C1:15:74:XX:XX

then I switched:

and connection back to normal:

Try to find this option, nothing to change in Wireless Security Setup, it's still working in WPA2(AES) on Pre-Shared Key
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Thanks but I use SoftAP (not a real router) which has limited config options.

In my case it seems that usb card settings was the problem (sta+ap mode).

Salut Courville,

since the Update to Fw 4.0.5, I have much more Freezes and Reboots then the Previous ones.

[Gen9 Android Development] steve adams:
I had the same problem. Last night I formatted my tablet and installed the latest firmware from the website via my computer and all the issues with my tablet were fixed. Smooth again, no freeze ups, wireless is stronger and all the little software problems like tapatalk not working correctly are fixed. Worth a shot. I'm going to see how it goes this way. If it starts slowing down again, I will root and over clock.
[Gen9 Android Development] nicusasch:
Hi Steve,

I will try this also, thanks for your hint :)

I had a little Problem to do this, because of the "big" work after this (lot of appz...), but if it helps, I will do it...

Have a nice Day

Firmware: 4.0.5.

Issue: Intermittent short freezes

Description: When using the device, most notably when web browsing, the device will freeze for 0.5 - 2 seconds. During the freeze period the display is frozen and the touchscreen is non-responsive. After this period any touchscreen actions carried out are then carried out (e.g. if you press the homescreen button during the freeze, the tablet will return to the homescreen after it has unfrozen)

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Gen9 Android Development] DarkhShadow:
I do, but very very rarely
[Gen9 Android Development] steve adams:
Courville, would it be hard for Archos to add a camera deactivation setting? My son has autism and fixates on the camera on his g9. I will be buying him the kid tab when its released but would love an update to add this feature. My iPhone/iPad has this feature and its very use full. I think archos would be a great tablet for the autism community as its a great performing tablet, and relatively inexpensive. Also with the release of kid tab, you just hit a new market. The kids with autism in our community are part of a tech pilot program to show how tablets can improve their lives and give treatmetnt and direction. Its very amazing to see them take to it. The only concern with my son is he fixates on the frigging camera and cannot concentrate on the apps. He just wants to see himself at all times. Can you look into this? This would be a great improvement for our g9 units
[Gen9 Android Development] theguy:
The camera application can already be disabled in the settings menu
[Gen9 Android Development] JiiJii:
My 101 G9 reboots few times every day. It freeses and then reboots. It doesn't matter what app is running.

Ok, an update on this one. It seems to be a universal issue with the stock ICS browser.

See here: Look at all of the sublinks on the first result:

https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sour....2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1920&bih=979

Solution? Disable Javascript (Also seems to speed up the browser!) of course this leaves you without Javascript and some sites may complain but so far it seems ok!
[Gen9 Android Development] steve adams:
please tell me how!
