Wireless Tethering solution

Ever since Stock ICS and then CM9, I encountered unpredicted time out / drop in connection from wireless tether client.

One thing that I can conclude is that the problem is somewhere with data connection. Switching the data connection ON/OFF will bring the internet connection back to life.

Since the build in wireless tethering is not working in this CM9 build, I have found one app in the market that works : Wireless Tether for Root Users.

Occasionally, there are timed out and slow connection.

This is what appear in logcat when connection timed out:

W/NetworkManagementService( 1870): Observer notifier failed

Somebody have sucess with a 6200L model?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jOeYbOi:
Also experienced those random wifi drops but was able to connect again again in a jiffy. Aside from that, hasn't had any issues with it yet. Really glad that I flashed this new build. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ciutnik:
Hi all first time in this forum and please forgive my poor English :)

Aorth, thank you very much for your hard work, but after flashing my P6200 (from stock 3.2) exactly according to instructions in first post, I noticed some problems:

1) In my case, there is no information about the mobile operator (Aero2) and signal strength. Instead, I see the character "x" and information "No Internet connection". But of course everything works OK - in fact, is access to the Internet. I guess that this is caused by an unusual SIM card which I have. It is the card to transmit only data. Without conversations and even without SMS.

But in stock Honeycomb these data be displayed properly. Some programs from Market such as "net info" shows the name of the operator and signal strength, even "About tablet ->Status" are presented in the following entries:

Network: Aero2

Signal strenght: -89 dBm 12 asu

Mobile network type: HSDPA:9

Service state: Out of service

Roaming: Not roaming

Mobile network state: Connected

MDN: Unknon

It would be fantastic if you were able to fix it. Aero2 members in Poland is growing because it is absolutely free internet, free advertising, free of charge, the only limit is the maximum speed is 512 kbps :)

2) Just as in others, the MAC address of my WiFi card has changed to 00:03:7f:04:18:40 (recognized as a Atheros Communications).

Thanks again for the fantastic ROM and sorry for my terrible grammar,

Maciek from Warsaw.

WORKAROUND random wifi tether drop due to data connection time out

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I have seen many some threads like this in XDA.

WORKAROUND:

Since this connection drop happen in the data connection ( phone to internet network) and not the wireless tether ( client to phone), the solution is to toggle data connection ON/OFF or Airplane Mode ON/OFF.

I found this app on the market : Connection Checker

Basically this app will automatically restart your network as soon as the data connection drops. Set the refresh check to 1 (one) second and turn it on.

I have bought the pro version and, its helping me a lot. The free version also works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] tcardozo:
Thanks for this fix. It worked for me, but I would prefer to save the ram to keep this thing up and running. Any chance a permanent fix might make its way into a new build?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Phantom_G2x:
For some weird reason my photos won't show up in my gallery anymore. Turned my tab off to charge yesterday and when I turned it on none of my pix were showing. Not gone from the tab (checked root explorer and they were still there). Only my synced g+ photos are showing now.. this is really weired. I'm using a third party app for now but if anyone can help with a solution I'd be very happy! Thanks in advance!

Never mind I fixed it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] arfian:
Same as above me..

Media file not showing up in gallery..

But for recent file..like photo just taken it shows..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Dushaine:
Easy ! Just go to app manager (system > app > gallery) and delete data app. It will reset your gallery and you see your pics again.

Try opening the Dev Tools app, then going to Media Provider. Force a Media Scan, it will scan your sdcards for media and rebuild the indexes.

Bro does the kernel has the MMC_CAP_ERASE command disabled? I could not read this important information as a MAIN feature in the OP because MMC_CAP_ERASE procedure performs secure erase wich emmc chips can't handle leading to bricks..

Thanks in advance for the info
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Yes, the kernel used in the ROM and in the Recovery both have MMC_CAP_ERASE disabled. It's safe to wipe data/factory defaults with this ROM, as well as my ClockworkMod Recover 5.5.x.x and 6.0.x.x. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] simonckenyon:
i've build this using your updated local_manifest.xml file.

it installs and boots but the wifi just cycles endlessly

have i missed a step or patch somewhere along the way?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
Has anyone figured out how to restore their WiFi MAC address or just change it in general? Perhaps Bluetooth MAC too? (I'm not actually sure if that MAC has been changed and shares the same one as other 6210s with CM9.)

WiFi MAC: 00:03:7f:04:18:40

Bluetooth MAC: 12:34:78:DF:00:01
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
locerra pushed a fix to github for this, add macloader to fix the mac address issue. I did builds of CM9/10 this weekend, both of which have this fix, but forgot to look if the MAC was fixed. Presumably it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pinsb:
Welcome back mate, sorry to hear you had to go to Liverpool though ;)

I saw that you did a CM9/CM10 build, does this sort of answer my earlier question re moving to a CM10 build?

As I said before not looking for a timescale just trying to understand mindset.

Keep up the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] simonckenyon:
is there something else to do besides this?

i don't see driver_cmd_wext.c being built

in fact i see this line:

target thumb C: lib_driver_cmd_bcmdhd <= hardware/broadcom/wlan/bcmdhd/wpa_supplicant_8_lib/driver_cmd_nl80211.c
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
I haven't really looked at CM9 in a few weeks... I know locerra's been messing with wifi, though. nl80211 -> wext and then back to nl80211, so we're not using right now. Honestly, I'd put your time and effort into CM10 now. Jellybean is what ICS should have been.

I'll post my local_manifest.xml when I get home.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] simonckenyon:
do you have a recipe for building jellybean then?

a local_manifest.xml and a set of proprietary files?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Yeah, I have a local manifest. Basically, all you need to do is use the current manifest and switch all the branches to "jellybean". The repos are the same. I will post build instructions when I get home. In the mean time, go start on a checkout of CM10, it's big!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
Previously (not sure which build), I had not been successful when testing a USB keyboard/mouse, but I just tested the following with the Samsung adapter:

ASUS USB keyboard (SK-2045) - works!

ASUS USB mouse (MO96UOB)- works!

Yubikey II (OTP USB access key) - works!

Woohoo!

I'm not sure if it was necessary or not, but sometimes using the reset feature in the USB Host Controller app seems to help.

How can i flash this then if i can't wipe because of bricking tab? I'm on stock ICS rooted, and i recently flash CWM from OP but when i go i recovery it says its v5.5.x.x not 6.0.x.x . Where can i get latest?

Just out of curiosity, will the CM9 P6210 build you mention from 8/19 be available at some point? I'm still not convinced by the new statusbar location, and home/back icon positions in Jelly Bean. I'd like to stick with the last stable CM9 for a bit while things shake out.

As always, thanks for the great ROMs! =)

Cheers!

Was going to try out CM10 and discovered a small problem with my current CM9 setup. I can't seem to access my data partition for some reason. I tried to do a nandroid backup from CWM 6.0.1.0 and when it got to the data partition it rebooted. Did the same when I tried the Wipe data/factory reset. I was able to wipe cache and dalvik just fine.

Not sure if it's related, but I was unable to copy a file from my Bluetooth share folder to the SD card as well. It keeps giving me an insufficient space error but there's 15GB free.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rendler:
I had same problems throughout last week and again even today (boot loop from corrupted /data partition, after creating nandroid backup) . Easy to solve it though, just go into recovery and then connect to it using adb and run:

Hope I remembered the paths correctly (if not run: cat /etc/fstab | grep ext4) :)

umount /cache

e2fsck -cy /dev/block/emmcblk0p7

e2fsck -cy /dev/block/emmcblk0p9

e2fsck -cy /dev/block/emmcblk0p10

Might as well check all the other partitions while you're there. Some partitions might need to be run couple of times until there's no errors.

Hope it helps.

NOTE: The paths I specified are for the P6200, for other models you'll HAVE to cat fstab.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] aorth:
Hmmm, you're not the only one who has mentioned they've had strange problems with /data. I haven't hit this bug... but thanks for the diagnosis/solution... let's keep an eye on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] litesout:
I'll give that fix a shot and see what happens. I've been having problems with ADB, but I think they're related more to the laptop than the tablet.

Not sure if this is remotely related but I replaced the microsd card recently. This morning I was going to format the old card. I put it in a usb card reader and deleted all the files. I then copied a single file back to the card. When I put the card into my phone, it showed exactly the same contents as it did when it was in service in the tablet. Tried to format it in the phone with the same results. I get no errors, just can't make any changes to the card.

Have you flash gapps for cm9 from the first page?

No file manager/explorer in cm9 package, you have to download it yourself.

CM9 and wifi at last :)

I also had the wifi issues.

Finally got it working by flashing stock HC, and then 4.0.4 from here.

Hemdall flashing the 6.0.1.x recovery from here.

Lastly flashing Aug 10th CM9.

With Wipe, formatting system and dalvik in between.

Much like the galaxy HD rom requires you to flash from a particular HC build, I guess this one needs something similar too.

Someone has posted a fix by adding a string in the build.prop (to let device sleeps) but seems not working :(

Any idea?

ICS dev has been stopped.

You should really try the JB CM10 ROM which is more usable than this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] iqy90:
but why cm10 rom, the home button, back and task switcher button at the middle?? can we set it to left below as usual??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Dushaine:
This is the "Nexus 7" layout but I think you can switch to tablet mode by changing the DPI (but I'm not sure).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
The following change in /system/build.prop will put CM10 in tablet mode on the 7.0 Plus, but I think you need to make sure you're using a different launcher (other than the default Trebuchet). Apex Launcher works fine for me at 133 DPI, other launchers are prob. OK too.

ro.sf.lcd_density=133
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] iqy90:
i try with go launcher hd also works perfectly.. but the changes make everything smaller than before lol.. :laugh:

looks weird..haha. any chance to make bigger again in tablet mode?? i'm using 133 density..

Does CM10 perform better than CM9 in general? I been using stock ICS until now. So not very sure.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] spaeter:
my build.prop file has two row with ro.sf.lcd_density.

Should I change both to 133 dpi to enter the tablet mode? or only the first (or the second)??

NOTE: I've tried to change both row, but but my tablet do not reboot (It stucks in the "Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Tab Plus" image)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] k_t_b:
That line should only be listed once. What ROM are you running? What is the date of the build? Did you try changing DPI with an app like DPI Changer or something else at some point? What app did you use to edit the build.prop file?

If you have a nandroid backup from CWM, just restore it. Otherwise, reflash whichever CM you were using. Before changing the DPI value, remember to use a launcher other than Trebuchet, because that launcher will force close over and over again at 133 DPI.

Once you're back up and running, feel free to post your build.prop file so somebody can take a look at it.

New builds

I decided to go back and play with CM9 a bit. Here are new builds which incorporate a few of the changes we've made since we started working on CM10. Nothing major, but we switched to ANOTHER new kernel (same as Galaxy S II / Galaxy Note, which we're using in CM10). Also, some people prefer CM9 as CM10 is still in a state of flux (and things like video playback work a bit better in CM9).

Download (P6200/P6201/P6200L)

You know the drill. Backup apps, data, and contacts with TitaniumBackup or GoBackup, and then do a nandroid from ClockworkMod Recovery. Flash the ROM from ClockworkMod Recovery. I'm not sure if a wipe is required, it's been too long and I haven't been keeping track of CM9. Try without, but don't hesitate to wipe if things get fishy. :P

I've tried using the stock ICS Rom 4.0.4 Austria and Nova launcher and manually edit the file with ES File Manager.

Perhaps the stock rom does not support changing in the dpi value ...

The stock ICS rom's /default.prop overrides the build.prop and cannot be changed. You'll have to use a custom ROM if you want to use a different DPI.

I think it might be your kernel. You're using an old branch of an old kernel of mine. Try using the CyanogenMod smdk4210 kernel, jellybean branch:

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4210" path="kernel/samsung/smdk4210" remote="github" revision="jellybean" />

I just had a look at my CM9 local_manifest and this is what I used for my last CM9 build.
