(not so)Weird connectivity Issue

Hi, recently I've experienced a "curious" issue... I suddenly lost my connectivity. I mean, phone indicator shows Wifi connected, chrooting I can see ifconfig settings are "right" (good IP, etc), but every app is unable to reach any server. No ping, no pages loading ("Can't load the page, check connection settings or try again later"). I can turn off Wifi and the menu bar shows now HSPA+ indicator, but the situation is basically the same.

It occurs at random, generally networking like browsing the web, it has occured me twice this way. It also happens when I'm playing GTA SA, the game FC, and when I re-launch it, it says it cannot connect to Rockstar Club, and it's because this issue has been triggered. Apps can't reach any server.

Rebooting Solves the problem, until next occurrence.

Now, I think it can be triggered by a faulty Wifi Connection (like mine, I guess), but it sometimes fails with Wifi off and over HSPA too, so I don't really know what's going on. This issue wasn't present on previous versions (I'm on stable 1.7.11), and it's quite annoying, more than only "curious".

I know It could be related to ADblock, but I don't know how to "debug" this... I'm not expert in Android at all, there are no /var/logs so don't know how to check what's exactly going on. I know I could also "disable ADblock", but I would like not to do so.

Thanks again for making this ROM, Archie!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
First of all, if you have any strange errors related to hardware, and you're not sure if Android causes this, the answer is the kernel, preferably pure stock one, the one bundled in the rom.

But before you do it, try simply turning off adblock in ArchiDroid app, test for a few days, maybe situation improves. If not, you'll at least know that AD's adblock isn't the reason.

Also it would be cool if you could test your connection in such "no connection" state. I mean that if even AD's adblock is faulty here, you should easily ping any device by IP, for example google's dns server - 8.8.8.8. ArchiDroid's adblock works through modyfing DNS requests, so if anything is broken with it - you won't be able to resolve names, not IPs.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyberlord86:
It is AD's adblock. I had that "no connection" state. Nothing actually worked, resolving was not an option. :P However, I could easily connect to my router by entering gateway address.

What I can say is that i know how to bug the system. Changing governors in boefflas app can make this bug to occour easily.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
Is there a way to decrease the minimum brightness without using 3rd party apps? In the build.prop for example
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Interesting. Based on that I'd say that somehow dnsmasq process is being stuck or something. The interesting fact is that I didn't face this issue, and I've been changing governor from time to time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyberlord86:
Probably yes.

And, if you are willing, try switch them and right after that open web search. It is not always, but 2-3 times out of 10 should do it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Does ArchiDroid app indicates than dnsmasq is ON? You can check that in the app itself, after clicking on reload button.

Maybe it crashed or something.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tonydeli7:
Just wanted to share my battery stats and memory.. I use stock kernel and have disabled Talkback, Google Search and Google Voice... Great Rom! Thanks Archi..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MD500:
Archi,if samsumg releases KitKat in I9305 only(and I9300 -unsecure-),you can port the rom with your modifications(debian backend,pocket debian,adblock,crossbreeder,optimization,etc)and make it compatible in i9300?(changes are ril,LTE,knox,no support fm radio -which i9300 supports-) because SOC it the same (exynos chip,and gpu).please answer...and sorry!!

Sorry for my english..

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JahBoson:
Hi,

I've had this issue a few times, no log caught though.

For me it usually happens when starting/using Simpson Tapped out.

In the ArchiDroid app I see Dnsproxy2 getting disabled.

Before your app was installed I just used the script in /system/archidroid to reload.

Now I do it from the app, reload and refresh solves the issue.

Will provide logcat if I can catch it.

I'm Using Viper4Android as sound driver, in governor Yank-Battery when screen is off, music sometime lagging. When I switch to zzmoove performance it is all good. In short I switch governors quite a bit, never had connectivity issues (I stream my music, so I'd know if there was any connectivity issue). I have Archi default settings for adblock

Elad

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Version 5.2-beta5

28.02.2014

Updated zzmoove governor to version 0.8 RC1

Implemented new governor "intelliactive" (credits to Faux123)

Updated BFQ scheduler to version v7r2

Touch-to-wake charger mode added: If switched on in Boeffla-Config app, touch-to-wake will stay active as long as the phone is connected to a charger or usb port

Is it recommended to flash the kernel, or wait for new AD release with it?

Elad
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
The point is, if really dnsproxy2 is getting disabled then in worst scenario adblock shouldn't work but connection should remain the same, as DNS requests will just go through normal DNS servers.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] just4u32:
Guys, got any idea how to completely disable keyguard/lockscreen?

If not, how can I make it stylish? It looks pretty bad :/

Also, can we remove SMS from call log?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gopzzz:
1. Under lockscreen - security - none

2. Use wanam xposed to remove sms from call log... for wanam xposed to work you need to install xposed installer from playstore/ aroma selection during this rom installation.. activate and reboot to install wanam xposed and activate.. to configure the needed mods..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maxq1:
on 1.7.11, after a fresh install or hot boot, wifi tethering works fine. toggling it on afterwards doesn't seem to work. it turns off by itself like in 1.7.10. disabling adblock doesn't work as well. working fine on 1.7.9 with the same kernel on my sig. using stock tethering. any one else having this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
im not sure if this is a kernel problem or rom problem but I am getting freeze at startup on the lockscreen many times when I reboot my phone or turn it on.

Now this happened when I flashed the latest boeffla beta 5 and got stuck for about 2 mins. so forced it to turn off, and turned it back on to be surprised that now I have a lot of data missing, many apps just reset, many apps were deleted, and even when I want to install my missing apps from playstore, they tell it failed error -24

Anyone can tell me what happened,, why did my device get full wiped !!??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Try other kernel, preferably stock one.

Also I plan to backport some misc improvements from 2.X to 1.7.12.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LarzGearbox:
I got the same thing, the lock screen freezing thing, never had my device wipe though.

Lockscreen never seemed to come back to life, it was like the screen wasn't registering any touches, i could bring up the reboot menu by holding the power button but then couldn't tap on reboot, so i had to hold power for hard reboot. Happened multiple times.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Let me guess, gravitybox?

ArchiDroid itself doesn't cause any behaviour like that, you should look for culprit instead of asking here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LarzGearbox:
The only reason I have gravity box is because it came with this ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
So I should delete all potentially unstable features, including root, just because it's possible to do bad things with it?

Noted.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LarzGearbox:
anyway......thanks for pointing me to GravityBox being the potential culprit, I will disable it as i don't use / need it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyberlord86:
Finnaly, after 24 hours I have made to produce bloody "no connection" bug. And all I can do it is to confirm that dnsproxy2 is going on a vacation.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
No its not gravity box. Wrong answer guys. I never ever installed gravity box and have this bug. Dont just assume stuff please because it is really annoying to have this bug. Currently im on a clean install with almost nothing installed will check if the bug still appears.

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

So can you give me another guess? I never have installed gravity box...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maxq1:
thanks, but i'd rather stay w/ devil and wait for an update. can't do some testing/flashing atm. anyhoo, not much but better than none: 21997152U15722808
[Galaxy S III Android Development] strange1712:
I want to comment I'm having this issue TOO. Since the first version of Archi I had installed (which didn't had any gravy-thing), and added to the fact My S3 won't handle ANY OC at all, makes ArchiDroid a hard candy for my cellphone.

The situation is this:

*The phone hangs BY RULE half of the times it boots IF I DON'T DO ANYTHING. It means that if I'm lucky and let it "naturally stabilize" and don't touch it until a couple minutes have passed, S3 maybe will wake up and keep runnign fine. Else, it will keep a black screen, no lockscreen at all and it gets boiling hot, with the only option of pressing the power button for 10s to reboot the phone.

*If I UNLOCK it at boot, everytime everything goes fine. So for me, EVERY BOOT IS A CHALLENGE, I have to unlock the phone so it actually boots. But the very first screen is not a working lockscreen, I have to wait for the icons and the carrier name to appear so I can unlock it. One second later, and it's over, I have to reboot again.

Now, I don't know if this "unlocking" at boot is just placebo, but my guess is something is VERY AGRESSIVE for my hardware, puts the phone to sleep too soon maybe, and as my phone heavily relies on BOEFFLA CONFIG app to set the non-toxic profile for my S3, It doesn't get's the time to set propperly the profile. Or maybe AD startup stuff is doing something that, if launched before the correct kernel settings are applied, loops the phone. As I had not read it in this thread, I had always considered this was my phone only issue and so I had not commented it here.

Now we are bringing up bugsquestions, I have one: Search function on the stock browser when in incognito mode works only once. Then you can type anything on the search bar and it simply takes you to google. Is this an intended behavior? Is it only me or a known bug?

There are no perfect ROMS, every one I've tested had it's major and minor issues. This one is quite good even with these issues. I'm sticking to this one as none of these issues are real stoppers (like not having a decent camera could be for me, that's why I'm not with any Cyanogenmod ROM).

Thank you Archidroid, for this rom and your patience.

PD: Loving Archidroid debian, with XFCE I've got totally operational and reliable Kile+Latex+Geogebra(Java)+Maxima, but had to install some "external keyboard helper" so I could set my keyboard layout, swiftkey doesn't seems to work and as I don't have Sammy's KB...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] v1ks:
Hey Archi..

Great rom and very stable as already mentioned tons of times on this thread...

One request, isit possible to get the Note 3 keyboard in the next release, i did try a port but it didnt fit well with your dpi settings and i didnt want to move to stock. Only if its possible if not then not a big issue!.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] just4u32:
[MENTION=994334]gopzzz[/MENTION],

Can't find it on Wanam exposed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ScratMan38:
It is not in Wanam any more. Open the dialer, go to the journal, open the menu, display, and select "all the calls" it will display the calls only and not the messages.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sheeezy:
[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] will there be a .12 version in near future ?

Im asking because I dont want to download the .11 and a few days later there will be a new update, which I have to dowload again.

Just 1 page back, he wrote:

"Also I plan to backport some misc improvements from 2.X to 1.7.12."
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eyosha:
I updated every week since 1.7.9

it's 10 minutes even less to download the zip file and 5 minutes to update that is all and you get stable full featured ROM.

For me the advantage of this ROM is that it is constantly being improved and getting better by the week!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sheeezy:
Im using Archis ROM since 1.7.3 so this is nothing new to me.

But I dont want to update everytime as every version is so stable, because most improvements on the

new updates is (very minor and) not so important to me
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Because there aren't any major issues, those ones are really misc and definitely don't hit every user.

If I successfully reproduce something, usually a proper fix is in experimental a few hours later. But you need to know that I'm only a human and I can't blindly fix stuff I never seen before :).

That's why it's important for you to give as mush details as possible, with a proper way to reproduce issue if there is one. Now I know that I should left my phone untouched after boot for some time, so maybe I'll find what's wrong.

It's also important to say which kernel and which version you were using while bug appeared.

Also notice that this is Sammy's base and while I can fix everything "next to it", including ArchiDroid, I can't fix closed-source base.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Right, this is interesting.

Is there any particular way to reproduce it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyberlord86:
Tbh, I'm not quire sure. What I can say is: it will not occur if I use my device in non advanced way. Surfing, texting, calling.. etc. That is why it is really hard to say: ok, it was this and that. But, whenever it happend, happend after tweaking in Boeffla's app (not that I'm pointing into it. :D). When i change governors alot, for example. Totally random tho. (not really 2-3/10)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sheeezy:
As I said before, Im happy with every version you give to us users and therefore only wanted to know when and if there will be

a new update in near future. Simply because I dont want to download 2 times and obviously dont want to install 2 times, so I can

safe me some time :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Ok, I'll try 20 governor changes, if I won't reproduce it then I close this case as ultra rare unreproducable problem :D.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cyberlord86:
And it is rare and, IMHO, not worth of spending time trying to reproduce it. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
If there's a problem I can fix, I try hard to do so. And I implemented dnsproxy2 together with my AdBlock, so this time it's pure ArchiDroid function, which should work as good as it's possible.

Even if everything fails I can still implement auto reload in daemon.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fema90:
About a week ago I wrote here about my problem that my phone is sluggish. I said that I will try it with different kernel, so I switched from Boeffla to Yank kernel. This time I didn't install Evernote and Messenger (2 apps syncing in the background and the latter eating up the ram and cpu).

I'm using mostly Archi's default settings and as usual, I don't have much apps installed.

Without Messenger the phone seems to perform much better (I'm saying "seems" because it's based on my opinion).

On the other hand, when receiving a call, I have terrible wake up lag. It waries from 1-2 sec to even 10 seconds.

I made a video and uploaded it to youtube, you can see for yourself: [click]

I'm not using wake up lag fix. Should I? Are you people using it? I'm afraid if maybe it will drain the battery? (Phone never being fully asleep)

What can I do? :crying:

Edit: No, wake up lag fix doesn't help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JahBoson:
For me it happens mostly when playing Simpson Tapped Out.

I just managed to capture logcat when it happened and it has been sent to Archi to check.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Well, first step was to recompile latest dnsproxy2 with latest NDK.

https://github.com/JustArchi/ArchiDroid/commit/6c0fb8e5af2b905d88f050bdbfbaab4bfb487e19

Now I'll backport everything from 2.X to current 1.X-E and try to reproduce this issue ;).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Okay, 1.X-E is up-to-date with 2.X-E now, including recompiling of all ArchiDroid binaries.

I tried hard to reproduce dnsproxy2 issue, by applying every available governor two times (about 20 tries in total) with no luck. Either I'm unlucky, or recompiling itself fixed this issue. I hope that it's second option :).

Latest 5.2-beta5 boeffla kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] atikrasul:
can i get the transparent weather widget in this rom???
[Galaxy S III Android Development] megen:
No. This rom does not include ports from other devices. It is heavily tweaked, themed but not moded.

But it doesn't mean you can't install some mods flying around by having some stability and performance risks. ;)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JahBoson:
Hi,

Updated and after a while I got same issue.

No logcat this time but will provide one if I can catch it.

It is, as stated before, very rare problem.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] west421:
Yes why not:if you choosed it from aroma.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] megen:
Camera issue is most common problem in the custom roms. But ArchiDroid has a fix for this issue in aroma installer. You can re flash ArchiDroid without wipe by selecting the camera fix.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Logcat doesn't help because my backend doesn't do any logging (there's nothing to log) apart from boot sequence - RunOnce.log and Init.log, which won't help in this case.

I need a way to fully reproduce this error because only in this way I can actually check what's wrong.

Also, I suggest testing latest 1.X-EXPERIMENTAL branch, as it may fix these issues already.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JahBoson:
Ok, noted.

It was with 1.7.12 EXP. , not a full wipe though, but forced update.

No worries for me, just tried to help out a bit.

I just reload and refresh adblock and it is working again.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Right, I'll need to implement ARCHIDROID_CRON in addition to RUNONCE and INIT.

[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] : The app "BluetoothTest.apk" is provided in the bloatware, so yesterday I tried to remove it from my system, and I discovered that it is required for the phone to respond to the buttons of the bluetooth headset.

So if you remove it, no more remote control of the music through bluetooth.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Good find, I'll put it back then.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ArbiterGR:
I can't reproduce that. I use LG HBS730 and the buttons respond just fine!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Maddinuser:
Weird. I have LESS screen on time than with temasek. I dont know why. I thought battery live is better on stock. Also I experience lags sometime, especially the browser does not respond sometimes.

I really like the rom and I would be happy if someone knows why this happens.

Hello, I'm loving your rom so far, but I've encountered a bug, I'm not able to set a background for the lockscreen. See the picture attached. Any help much appreciated ^^
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Howlbeck:
Opera Max

Does any of you guys use it ? I used it on Fusion without problems, but on 1.7.11 I have to cfm after every reboot that this app is reliable. Could this be related to your adblock, Archi ? Just asking, no biggie. It works as it should otherwise.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] agha020289:
Mirrors?

Hi,

I wanted to download Archidroid 1.7.11 but some how from the link provided, it shows me download time of 12-13 hours...

I know my internet is fast, this is unusual. is there any other link or mirror?.

thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] regaber:
When you flash the rom, if you don't choose to intall gallery app in the bloatware, you can't change lockscreen background.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xpmode:
Try downloading zipball from Github.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kaynpayn:
You need apps to pick the image from. If you chose not to install the stock gallery just download quickpick from playstore. Its a better image app anyway.

I've had similar experiences if I'm doing it from my phone. It just ends up failing. I have better results if I get it on a computer and just copy over later. Still takes a while. A download manager helps.

Or a better choice is use adflash from terminal. First time will take a while (think mine was around 30mins) but there are several advantages doing it this way (read the op of you're interested in knowing more)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] spiff773:
i don't think it's required. bluetooth headset controls are working fine without bluetoothtest. sometimes the controls are not working, but a simple re-pair/re-connect would do the trick. this also happens even on stock ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Okay :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Maybe it's this google's app checks? Also you can temporary shut down my whole backend through ArchiDroid app and check if anything changed.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] systemallica:
I have Quickpic installed but I'm still unable to set a background for the lockscreen. I guess I'll just install the stock gallery app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kaynpayn:
Odd but you're right just tried it. It does allow you to pick feom quickpic or any other source as long as it's for homescreen only. If its for both mine only shows gallery and live wallpapers too. Well, guess you'll really need gallery.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enebro77:
Really strange, ... how many screen-hours with temasek ?

(with 1.7.09 and boeffla I usually get 5 hours ...)

yes, with stock gallery i can set lockscreen background without problem

I think backport from 2.x stable is started and you have some suprises for 1.x users huh?

It is very soon for 1.7.12 stable release and so may be it is not a big mistake to ask a developer for release date :p

my best wishes archi...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Not yet, I'm actually developing ARCHIDROID_CRON, which will be documented in the changelog when I'm done. This mostly fixes "no network" issue reported by some users due to dying dnsproxy2.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kaynpayn:
Something that implements a cron job monitoring when dnsproxy2 dies and restarts it? Just what i could figure from the pic.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Exactly like that due to the fact that I'm not able to guess the reason why dnsproxy2 may die for some users.
