[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
BTW, best of all worlds is I see something in the log, look at the code, and I say, "Here, flash this and let me know if you're solid now". OK, that sounds wrong... but you know what I mean. ;) I have no problem handing out a test flash or two so we can try a couple things. But I need those logcats. Worst of all worlds is I see no real clues in the logcats in which case it's probably something HTC is going to have to fix in a binary somewhere... or the kernel.

Thanks,

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sivarticus85:
Oh snap! That means we'll hopefully get to see some AOSP sweetness here very soon!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rocklee99:
can i use an app to send you a logcat?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
There's an app called aLogcat in the Play Store. I've never used it (just because I find adb so much easier) but I've heard it works.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rocklee99:
here, i think... i used alogcat app
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Thank you! What's the history behind this logcat? Did WiFi disconnect recently? I don't see anywhere in the logcat where WiFi either disconnected or reconnected but unfortunately if you don't use the command I gave and you use the aLogcat app instead, I don't see dates/times on each line so I don't know how far back this goes. Don't know if that's configurable in that app or not. The only WiFi activity I see is the OS testing your signal strength which appears to be OK.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rocklee99:
well, like i said it never disconnected...ill go on some apps and see if that gets anything for you, because when i go on the internet or youtube or xda, it is just loading not doing anything

edit: now they seem to be actually loading...idk why this is happening...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
yeah good for AOSP...but no good for sense, since the day before they release a new OTA with a new kernel. that's HTC for ya.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Duhhhh... I just realized I could create flashable WiFi-test-on.zip and WiFi-test-off.zip files that would dump properties and logcat to a file the minute that WiFi disconnects. Gimme an hour and I'll post here. Then the people who are having the WiFi drops can run the test and send me the resulting log that gets created automatically when it disconnects.

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sivarticus85:
Yeah you're right about that... I'm sure that was planned.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
I don't think that's necessarily true, tbh. And someone more knowledgeable can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the older kernel could possibly be tweaked/customized to where it'd still work/be beneficial to flash over the new base. I guess it depends on the changes made.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tourbound129:
Thanks for the constant updates. Got back from vacation last night and got up this morning flashed twrp, radio, and 1.5. Running great so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
I am sure it was. HTC be trolling.

It's good for AOSP since it will have drivers to get stuff working correctly, but with new bases and what not, a new kernel will have updated drivers.. And I would put money on that wifi fixes are buried in the new kernel.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
Yeah, I understand why it's good for AOSP. And yes, good point, you may be right. We'll see.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cantos:
Anyone else notice that the camera app is missing from the app drawer/shortcut list?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
In my experience, yes, sometimes a custom kernels from a previous base will work on a newer base, but it depends on what was changed, and we truly won't know until the source code for the new OTA is released.

WiFi tester here

OK, for anyone having WiFi dropouts, you can use the attached wifi-test-on.zip to turn on a monitor that will dump properties and a logcat to /data/MeanROM-WiFi.txt file. Just:

Run this test when the phone is in an area that should have continuous WiFi (like when home and not going out for a while)

(1) Flash wifi-test-on.zip from recovery and reboot.

(2) Wait until you notice WiFi having to reconnect.

(3) Use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer and go to /data

(4) There should be a MeanROM-WiFi.txt file there.

(5) Copy that file to your SD card and subsequently your computer.

(6) ZIP it (it'll be large) and post here.

The wifi test file simply dumps properties and a logcat as soon as it notices your WiFi connection drop (within about a minute). That way we can see what happened at the time it happened. Just remember to flash wifi-test-off.zip when you're done with the above test and all will be back to MeanROM ICS defaults. This won't mess with any installed tweaks, themes, or mods either so it should be safe to run regardless of your config.

Thanks,

Mike

MMS size question

New guy here...Huge Props to MikeyXDA for an awesome rom.

Question about the MMS sizes....if I attach a pic to a message and the pic is 1.92m, why does the attached pic compress down to 46k? It shows I can have up to 5m....or is this a sprint thing?

Spent days reading these forums and after doing root/unlock, twrp, lazy panda s-off and flashing MeanRom this is the best working phone I've ever owned....awesome community support.

Hey Mike!

I posted a locat yesterday morning did it get lost in another discussion? Hahahaha I woke up to no wifi. Turned off then on, worked for 10 minutes then stopped again. So I attached the locat with times etc... It's zipped. Would you like me to reattach it?

I flashed Rom then the firmware and noticed that my bootloader says Tampered Locked with s-off. What does this mean if I want to flash another Rom? Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
You'll be fine and it'll flash roms no problem. You have Tampered and Locked because you ran HTCDEV to unlock the bootloader and you have S-Off because you ran Lazy Panda. I didn't want to see Tampered on my LTE or let HTC know I rooted my device so I just did Lazy Panda to get S-Off and then used RegawMod's Bootloader Customizer to make my bootloader say Locked with S-ON to really throw Sprint techs for a loop if I ever take it in. LoL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cantos:
Scratch that... Complete wipe (again) and this time didn't install the HQ Camera mod. Camera now shows up, so something clearly isn't working from that zip on the new firmware.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I did miss that, so thanks! I have it now. I need to look it over more thoroughly later but in a cursory look, it appears your signal was pretty weak toward the beginning of the file. Then after about 11:34am, the signal gets better. When the signal was week, I see quite a lot of new RSSI levels in the -70 to -80 range and old RSSI of -200. With -100 typically being no signal, that means the WiFi radio lost signal (-200) and then regained it (-75 for example). Do you remember what you were doing and if you were further from the router before noon and then close around noon?

Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:

Ok. Guess it was the wifi i was using messing with it. DL'd from Dev-Host, and it looks like it is working fine now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] long_tall_texan:
Ok. Regarding wifi issues. I don't seem to drop once connected. But... I do have a recurring issue. When I leave the house, my phone will not drop the wifi connection. I have to turn off wifi manually for it to start connecting 3G. Also sometimes when returning home, with wifi on already, it will not auto-connect to my wifi without switching my wifi off and back on, on the phone.

I'll run the wifi-test-on zip. Hope it helps you figure something out.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Exclusive256:
For those looking to get S-Off, you can get it with the Mean Rom installed, but I would recommend using a 2GB or 8 GB sd card.. I bricked my phone 3 times with my 32GB and one of the Devs recommended using a smaller card and that did the trick..

Also wanted to ask if there's any harm in flashing the PJ75IMG.zip file twice? I did the S-Off, flashed the zip for the new firmware and then flashed MeanROM 1.5 and everything was lower for me for some reason.. My 3g speeds were lower than before, my quadrant scores were 1000 lower ect.. Would like to redo the PJ75IMG flash and see if that changes anything but would flashing it twice do any damage?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
flashing the PJ75IMG.zip should have permanently changed the radio/PRI ect. boot into your bootloader and check the radio - other than that it should be totally fine to flash twice as long as your phone doesnt die.

my 16gb SDCard worked just fine in my phone using LazyPanda

Well I was in the bathroom then moved to living room which is where the router is. My wifi signal is pretty consistently strong thru the house. But there could be strong interference in the bathroom I guess.

Anyone know how to use the credential password storage without using a PIN or password on the phone at wake?

Work uses enterprise security on their wifi. In order for me to gain access to the wifi, the credential storage requires to have my phone locked before it will store my password for the wifi at work.

Any ideas to get around this? This wasn't on the EVO, the credential storage was saved seperately from the PIN or password for the phone on wake.

I'd like to post my results. As always, I'm am a MeanROM fan.

I recently went from 0.8 to 1.3 and my battery performance has taken a big hit. On 0.8, I would have 60-75% left at the end of the day depending on my usage. With 1.3, I'm down to 30-40. The only things I've seen in the changelog that might explain this is the overclocking mods. I don't plan to overclock, so is there a way we could get a non overclocking modded rom? I'll have to revert back to a stock rom since that was getting better battery performance than the 1.3.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KnoxBNYC:
Are you doing so while connected via WiFi or 3G? I find more problems when connected to WiFi, believe it or not. It seems to fail authentication. I would guess it has to confirm that you are indeed on Sprint's network before it will let your hare to a Sprint account. But I'm just guessing. Anyway, it can't hurt to try it via 3G.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
Turn off your WiFi and turn on your 3G/4G and try it again. You might have to close the market and open it again.

I first OC to the recommended #7 which I think was 1.7ghz. After running it stable but not such difference I went up to #12. It was all the difference in the world. I'm afraid to push it much further but it runs flawless doing everything I can with it.. Play and record full hd video, took many pictures including speed burst. When I open the dialer it's instant.. same with a shortcut to a contact. Brining up a quick contact shortcut is the longest process on this phone but now it's also almost instant. It's as stable as it was when I was running stock lets put it that way. I've OC'd my computer for the past 8 years and this is probably the smoothest change I've ever noticed. I have to see if 1.9 is good to go cuz I'm just curious like a cat.. :silly:

And regardless.... battery would still make it all day long either way. I check emails and text quite a bit too on top of xda app and tapatalk use, Flipboard, friendstream etc.. . Played music for a 45 min jog and 2 hours of playing footbag and only hit 60 percent. At first I wasn't impressed with battery but coming from an Evo 4G with extended battery and sbc kernel..

2) went into my router configuration (Cradlepoint MBR1000) and did the following: a) channed channel; b) made sure it was 802.11 'n';

3) on EVO LTE's wifi tab there's a menu dropdown and you can select ADVANCED

Ok, this will be my last time explaining this. For those of you that were asking about goomanager, I encourage you to watch this video, and then say... Wow, that is a lot easier than doing each step manually. Set it and forget it! Like, I can't tell you how many times I've went to install a rom and each step took a minute, and I was busy... So I lost time! I would go, OH, it's finally done! Then I'd move onto the next step. It gets frustrating. With GooManger, I choose all the zips I want inside the system, and it does everything for me. Please watch the video. Then your opinion of GooManger will change. And then when MeanROM has an update, you get a notification about the update! So if you're not at home, you can just click on the notification and install the update. ;)
