This week I got a new HF5X battery (from defy+ and photon) and noticed a few things

- general performance seems slightly better

- crashes and freezes are less common, specially with apps that where very unstable before, like chrome, jays headset control, and vine (which didn't even let me record before, now it's just slow, but functional)

-No drops at all after heavy use and a few charges with the new battery. I had drops with my old battery and an aftermarket battery which was relatively new. My batteries always jumped from 86% to 100% while charging and had 2 drops totalling around 20% to 30%. Is it possible that the ROM was recognizing my defy battery as a defy+ battery?

Can someone with wifi "jamming" problems test if switching wlan sleep settings?

/settings/wifi/advanced/keep wifi on during sleep/ set it to "never".

If i set it to "only when plugged in" i got wifi problems.
[Defy Android Development] sa3e1:
[MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION]: currently on MS2Ginger 5 because on latest CM10.1 wifi jamming was so bad, I could not use wifi at all. Will flash CM10.1 and report back!
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Mine's always been on "Always On" and I didn't have the problem so far... Just saying :D
[Defy Android Development] vedhasd:
Yes i can confirm that [MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION] . same happened to me cpl of days before. Yet i'll try to reproduce it tomorrow. But when it is in never phone lags when wifi turns off or on, and whatsapp lags like hell, instead keeping always on and manual switching is lag free.

No problems so far

Hi there! Yesterday I flashed My Defy (MB525) with the 20130616 ROM. Moved from CM10 Android 4.1.2 also by [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] .

Went to bootloader, wiped data, wiped cahce, wiped dalvik.

Flashed cm-10.1-20130616-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip then gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip. Restarted.

Everything is working like a charm!! No WiFi jamming (tested using a laptop, a desktop, and a tablet), no camera problems, battery seems to be doing OK.

Only odd thing was that it restarted itself before loading the desktop on the first boot and that I had to restarted twice once I changed the baseband in order to changes take effect. Apollo closes from time to time while browsing albums, but still better than CM10.
[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION]: man, once again you did the magic for me. Big Thank You!!!

How far away were you from your router when you tested with your laptop/tablet? I'm assuming your desktop was connected to the network via ethernet cable?
[Defy Android Development] alvarete62:
The laptop is about 5 meters (aprox.16 feet) away from the router with no walls on the way. The desktop is like 8 meters and it's connected via WiFi, not Ethernet. No walls in the way either. The tablet & the phone were on the same table (less than 40 cm away) where the router is located.

Still no jamming. I updated apps from Play Store on both devices at the same time successfully.

Sorry about my written English...

[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Of course, as I suspected. You'll never get WiFi jamming like that. If you're going to comment that there is...

...you should probably test properly.

It's like if I stated that I've never had 3g/Edge data connection drops, and then it turns out I never use a 3g/edge data connection. It's not a real test, and it can even be confusing for the developers or anyone else trying to figure out the problem.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
My test options: All at the same time: watching video stream on wifi blueray player (draft n), downloading iso images on my linux mobile pc (wifi draft b) and a second image on my windows tablet (draft n), samsung galaxy s2 downloading latest cm10.1 and defy dwonloading cm10.1 from quarx. No jamming with my posted settings. And jamming with setting `only on plugged charger`
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
Still got more then 60% data loss while ping'ing.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
maybe firewall?
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
When I have wifi disabled on the defy I have 0% data loss while pining and with the defy's wifi on, I have 60 or even 90% on my PC.

With my laptop in the same position as the phone and when downloading something, I never have this issue. Only the phone causes interference.

The sleep setting doesn't make a difference.

I'd come to not using wifi on my phone when I'm at home. Not really an issue for me.

You can plug it in and use the phones wifi if you really need it on both.
[Defy Android Development] gatewave:
Yep same WIFI issue here, everything works fine on the phone apart from having a wifi on, and when I do my wireless network goes crazy on 2.4Ghz band. I sent two days changing my access points until I worked out it was the phone causing the issue. I have Cisco access points setup and even they are having trouble keeping a stable network when the phones wifi is on.

I love the new version of the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on my Defy+ plus so going to keep it and hope that WIFI issue will be fixed soon, in the mean time I guess I'll have to turn off the WiFi function on the phone.

Same story with the latest CM10 (4.1.2), it looks like since the wifi drivers were changed this problem has surfaced.

I was messing with the 2 popular video apps yesterday, just to see what our little device can do with modern media sharing. Vine is not a viable video solution, it's too slow and the video capture produces jerky video. Instagram on the other hand works flawlessly, video is nice and smooth but of a little less quality. Still, I was surprised that I can use these apps in our old little phone. It seems that Aerokernel really does make a difference.

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:

had a "data drop", 3G disappeared, reception indicator grayed out and i wasn't able to load stuff from the internet.

played around with 2G/3G toggle a bit and kazing: reception indicator became blue again with an H (after less than 10sec) :)

can anyone confirm this please?

[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
I'd like to suggest anyone talking about battery duration to inform the battery type (BF5X for defy, HF5X for defy+) and age

I for instance had an almost 2 years old BF5X battery that had 3% to 5%/h drainage while idle, and with my new HF5X battery I basically get 1%~1,5%/h

The phone also seems to be more stable, I can use Vine with the new battery for exemple, but once I pop in the old battery, the app hangs indefinately while initializing camera
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Does Vine work ok for you? The videos I capture with it are choppy, while Intagram video has no such issue. Which camera module you have, SOC or Bayer? I have the older SOC one, could be part of the problem.
[Defy Android Development] 01ago:
Based on my observation, switching WiFi sleep policy to 'Never' does seem to alleviate the problem of interference.:)

otherwise ill start from an sbf! if that helps :) but still thanks
[Defy Android Development] major9:
Tried before & after rebooting the phone, no luck. Had 75-100% loss on pings.

Btw. my router is using Tomato Firmware. I can provide logs from it.
[Defy Android Development] Persechini:
I have a bayer defy

With the old BF5X battery I can't record anything, I hear the camera initializing, but the "initializing" popup never goes away. With my new battery it takes a while to start, but I can record. It's not very choppy with a lot of my apps greenified, but if I ungreenify only facebook I can confirm the video gets choppy, and this is quite reproduceable
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
No Facebook here, but I suppose Facebook itself is not the issue, I suspect Vine is memory hungry. I don't have a problem initializing the camera, just the videos are choppy. Anyway, there are many complaints about Vine in Google play, so this is hardly the fault of our device.
[Defy Android Development] okij:
I also experience "data drops" every now and then, especially when moving in a car or public transport. Then I notice that no mobile data is being transmitted (so e.g. Opera Mini as my browser displays an error message) while the "H" is still being displayed in the reception indicator. :eek:

What I usually do is turning off and on mobile data (two arrows as symbol) in quick settings, which reestablishes the data connection quickly.

I don't want to try out [MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION]'s build at the moment, because I'm using [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] latest kernel update from 06-20 right now (still successfully, without reboots and corruptions of the data partition). :)

However, it would be great if [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] could take a look at [MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION]'s changes and incorporate them in his next build! :fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: did anyone try [MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION]'s build and can confirm if it's good for preventing data drops and/or wrong displayed "H" or "3G" symbols, when there's actually no mobile data connection? :confused: Thanks! :highfive:
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
You can very well try [MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION]'s version with [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION]'s kernel, the changes [MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION] made are NOT in the kernel itself!
[Defy Android Development] okij:
Thanks for the information! :)

So I can install [MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION]'s build and [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] latest kernel on top in order to test [MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION]'s changes, is that right?

Root Access CM10

Hm, guys,

anyone had a success with the rooting the CM10?

Asking because I am not able to gain root access, neither by using Superuser, neither by Terminal Emulator...

when I wrote `su` in terminal, just saying "Terminal Emulator has been denied..." etc.

When I try to setup SSH access, DroidSSHd does not responds, sometimes just freezes, but usually it is giving me the main screen as if it was never sat up.But it is.

In Developer Tools, it is totally missing a menu similar to anything in common with root access.

I am strugling with this problem since 2 months now.

And it seems I am not able to find any solution.

I know that CM had changed the policy for granting root access to the end user, and I hate them for this. It might work OK for stable builds, but for test ones, it is a nightmare.

Also tried to edit the build.prop changing the persist.sys.root_access entry to 0 1 2 and 3... none of them gave me root access.

I had the same problem with CM9, I did changed the su binary with an older one, edited it with hexeditor, and I somehow succeed in gaining root access... the hacker way, but not the regular way.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
You'd have to have had root access in the first place to install CM10, since you need it in order to install 2ndInit, so you must have broken something. Which superuser app are you using?
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
About wifi problem.

http://quarx2k.ru/TQS_D_1.7_127x.ini copy to /system/etc/wifi/ and reboot.

Maybe it helps.
[Defy Android Development] starbright_:
Sounds very interesting.

Due to missing PDdroid2 support I am back to CM7.2. So I can't test this right now.

But feedback would be welcome.

Would like to go vor CM10.1, but without privacy protection : no go.
[Defy Android Development] VoidRunner:
Thanks for the fast reply.

I am using 2ndSystem from the "Bootmenu v2.0-beta" application, which is loading right after the backend.

My CM10 is installed in files residing on the memory card and I am using multiboot to bootstrap the OS.

The current Superuser is with version 3.2(47), and the su binary is 3.2(18)

The actual version of the main OS (which is in the NAND) is CM7, and have no problems with it.

I have CM9 installed in files, and bootstraping it using multiboot option in the Bootmenu. Also have no dificulties with it, except the lack of Hardware access for Garmin Streetpilot (libgarminos have wrong resolution and it is working very slowly because it is unable to use the OpenGL) and that is why I am trying to upgrade.

Unfortunately with out a root access CM10 is useless for my daily tasks.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Did you test this to see if WiFi turns on properly?

About a month ago or more I already tested by changing the "Single_Dual_Band_Solution" to "00", and commented out the 5ghz parameters section, and it didn't make a difference. I know that after commenting out certain lines WiFi wouldn't turn on, but when it did, the jamming was still there.

Is there any difference in the file you attached and the one I'm attaching now?

(Had to upload in zip because the uploader didn't let me attach files ending in *.ini)
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Can you change the superuser automatic permissions to "grant"? If so, have you tried installing other superuser apps such as chainfire's SuperSU and/or CWM's Superuser?

If not, maybe you can try flashing the superuser I attached; I messed up my root access once, and this helped me out. It's an older version, but I'm sure you can always upgrade it to the newer version once it's installed. That being said, I'd try the options in the links first, and then, if no luck, make a backup and then flash the attached file.

Just saying because since this is an older Superuser version, I don't know what effect it might have on these newer builds (since you didn't mention what build of CM10 you're using); probably none at all, but there's no harm in playing it safe. ;)

[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Yeah, I should mention, I changed that too, I just didn't keep a version of each change I made.

So in summary, nothing has changed, and therefore, nothing will change regarding the WiFi jamming. Not that I'm discouraging other's to try it, I'm just saying that I know for a fact that this does not work, at least not for me, and I already have my own method set out with which I can test if WiFi jamming is present, since I can get far away enough from my router. If it would have worked I would have of course shared my findings. I even started commenting out sections of the 2.4ghz sections, since it doesn't seem to be a 5ghz problem, and WiFi would not turn on sometimes.
[Defy Android Development] major9:
Didn't work.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
[MENTION=4864817]Antiga Prime[/MENTION] if I remember right the jamming started after the Wifi calibration was added but it worked without jamming in the first build with new driver but with no calibration? If that's the case, we need to find what can be changed in this .ini file to reduce the TX strength. Which is what you were doing, but we need documentation about these parameters.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

I forgot the other possibility: the firmware produced by the calibration procedure could be defective itself, regardless of the .ini file because of some flaw in the calibrator routine or module.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I thought that too at first, but to be sure I tested with the first build that had the new drivers "CM10-20130324-WL12XX-NIGHTLY-mb526", and even though calibration did not work, the jamming was still present, which means that it's not related to Wifi Direct, nor is it related to the calibration, and it's not related to the INI files, nor to the TX power (tested this also, search for my previous posts regarding TX power).

This also leads me to believe that when I tested with the JellyX kernel "kernel_03.04-cfs-modules" file, I had tested wrong, because it behaves exactly as the first Quarx build that had the new drivers. Without calibration it just forces you to get closer to the router to connect, and therefore it's easy to get TOO close to the router and then you'll never see the jamming in action; so it's not a proper test.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Then there must be some fault either in the core firmware itself or the kernel driver. The fact that our kernel is a hybrid of old code for the Motorola modem to work, and new code for almost everything else doesn't help.

Some feedback to test builds

[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION]: I'm using your test kernel for 5 days now and didn't have any problems with reboots and data losses. :good:

[MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION]: I'm using your test build (with Quarx's test kernel on top) for one day now and I didn't have problems with mobile data drops or wrong displayed "H" or "3G" symbols in the reception indicator yet. Today I drove through a tunnel, after which the mobile connection reestablished itself properly again - whereas yesterday and last week (using Quarx's build from 06-16) I had to turn off and on mobile data in quick settings after driving through the tunnel in order to get mobile data working again. :good:

So both test changes look good to me so far. I will keep an eye on these issues in the next couple of days and will report back if they nonetheless might occur again. :fingers-crossed:
[Defy Android Development] justjr:
Same here. Since new kernel no reboots or data loss (I had a totally data loss, and one time I had to reinstall sbf, something I never had to, or even did before, but it's all good now).

And after installig latest unoficial build with data commits my data connections had been amazing.

I can finallly use 2g without losing connection every single time, and apparently without (much) packets lost.
