Fix signal strength on SingleSim????

Enviado desde mi HUAWEI RIO-L01 mediante Tapatalk
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Reflashed everything, now it seems to be working properly, 4G signal is perfect.

By the way, isn't it easier just to make a flashable zip with the changes rather than having to build the whole ROM all over again? (specially for these small fixes.)

Best regards.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
No signal bar on my device...
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Huge battery drain
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Thanks !

I'll start to push into my github "device tree" for G8 (GX8) , maybe someone can help with camera debugging !

Best regards !

Edit :

I just finished to push commits into my github for device & vendor rio ! You can build from now CM-13.0 for your device using : device, vendor & kernel for rio from my source .

device : android_device_huawei_rio, branch cm-13.0

kernel : android_kernel_huawei_msm8939, branch 6.0.1

hi my friends.

i finally flashed this rom on my phone and i have to say that its pretty fast and smooth as expected from a cyanogen rom.

i hope that in next update the battery consumption will get better and speacialy the camera.

now i have a problem that my backup from the stock rom is deleted and i dont khnow how to return please help me because the camera function is so important for me
[Huawei GX8] redimmer:
please help

update!

hello everyone.

im trying to flash the stock rom according to this guidence.

xdaforums.com/honor-6/development/guide-to-stock-rom-method-t3099261

but the adb does not recgonize my phone no matter how hard im trying.

i think there is a special way to flash in this way.

please help me.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Ok, I understand your issue , but why you check solutions on Honor-6, instead Huawei GX8 :confused:

First, here is a development thread , so your question should be on the right place "Huawei GX8 Questions & Answers" , because there someone may help you more quickly than here !

On the other hand, if you'll check the first three threads from there, I'm sure you'll be able to fix your issue .

Good luck !
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Hello !

As I said a few days ago, the camera would not be something too difficult to enable on cm-13.0 !

And now the story :

After few days ago, and armed with all my knowledge, started to enable camera - and today I have reached a result :

- the kernel source code provided from Huawei it is sadly incomplete about camera drivers/configurations - bizarre, because everything seems to be right for other drivers !

How I came to this conclusion :confused:

Because , after fixing all issues about camera ( like usual, in development way - I already enabled camera for CM on few Huawei devices few times ago ) , device just refuses to boot , adb didn't work and sys/fs/pstore ( after enabled pmsg into kernel ), also didn't say too much about camera service issue ... I tried today to use all camera blobs from Huawei 6.0 beta and also stock kernel from 6.0 beta ... and sure , here big surprise : I can see camera icon ... :D

Unfortunately we can not currently use the stock kernel Huawei 6.0 beta, because it requires restructuring/modified the whole device tree and vendor ... maybe in few weeks I can fix cm to run on stock kernel properly !

The best way would be if Huawei will release a kernel without issue , or why not a kernel source for M .

Best regards !
[Huawei GX8] Matada02:
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/mobile-phones/g8-en.htm So this kernel is just not good for you to work on the camera?
[Huawei GX8] ELV1ZARR0:
Bad News ::crying: :crying:
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Yep, it is the kernel that we currently use into cm-13.0, and of course was updated of me to M !

Anyway thanks for the help, and if you know about a new kernel source code update, please let me know as soon as possible :o Thanks !

Yes, I know ... but currently I'm working with stock 6.0 beta kernel into cm-13.0 ... until Huawei will release a new kernel source code without issues, no matter if it will be Lollipop or M .

Edit :

Right now, I sent some messages to Huawei development department , to inform about kernel issue ... I hope to have news soon :o
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
We're working on our contacts for you too.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Camera enabled into CM-13.0 !

Hello !

Very good news :D

After almost a week of work focused only on camera, right now I managed to enable camera into CM-13.0 !

So, because in my opinion it was a issue related kernel source code , today I tried to fix what Huawei should be released without issue - in other words, I fixed the kernel driver issue related camera ;)

Next update will be in this weekend and of course will bring camera on our CM-13.0 and maybe other fixes !

Best regards !
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:

I don't see a download link. :o)
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Yes, because "No signal bar on my device..."

Nop, because I reverted also GPS blobs !

Edit :

On my device dual SIM, signal strength seems to be stronger with this fix , and also does not seem to disconnect !

But for single SIM, I'll revert commit for fix signal strength !
[Huawei GX8] Trailhunter:
Hi, on my Device with the last update SONSO App doesn't run. And there is no signal-bar. But both SIM-Cards are available. The not displayed Signal isn't worth. I am available, that counts. But the crashing SONOS App... :-|.

Can I downgrad by flashing an old version?
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
I'm getting some temperature peaks on normal use and the battery isn't that good anymore..., I'll report later after a whole day, but it's not looking very good.

And when I get a call, the mobile signal goes to 0 and takes approximately 1minute to actually receive a call.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
I've switched back to previous version
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
For me RIO-L01 single sim it's day and night: better signal, better GPS, better battery.

EDIT: maybe different versions works differently and the code should fork?
[Huawei GX8] grungle25:
I had to revert to an old version. The cell signal no longer dropped when sleeping which was great but my signal was so bad my phone wasn't even ringing when sitting on my desk. Was going straight to MessageBank. When I did make a call there were heaps of dropouts.

On a RIO L02 dual sim
[Huawei GX8] dgnghia:
Thank You Very much

I found rom my phone RIO-L01 Dual sim Working anything oke !
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Hey, since Cyanogen is quitting the OS market what does this mean for our phone?

Are you guys going to focus on another alternative or just let it go? :crying:
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
What?! Do you have a link?
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
http://www.androidauthority.com/official-cyanogen-moving-modular-721195/

They are moving into a more modular approach instead of fighting against Google in the OS market.
[Huawei GX8] sigmarelax:
It is important to note that CyanogenMod and CyanogenOS are separate things. CM came first, and then CyanogenOS was born out of CM as Cyanogen Inc.'s venture to bring their builds to retail phones. I think it is unlikely this change from CyanogenOS/Cyanogen inc will have any effect on the development of CM.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Yeah I know that, but still...

The code is maintained by Cyanogen Inc., they can pull it out anytime they want.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Any weekly?
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
new weekly build is up.

GPS should be fixed.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Thanks, when I rebooted it was stuck on the loading screen for like 10 mins, I shut it off holding the power button, next reboot worked.. :)
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
It works well . no bugs until now. Signal fixed, no battery drain. Well done:good:
[Huawei GX8] grungle25:
What he said. Well done!
[Huawei GX8] apet:
After 24 hours no bug found. Thank you for your great work!
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Most of my apps encounter force closing...i can't use my theme app. Any ideas why is this happening? I did a clean install. Cheers.
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
So if i'm correct the loss of mobile data connection in deep sleep is fixed? Can anyone confirm this?
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Nope, not fixed. For me this is the holy grail.
[Huawei GX8] Aria995:
not have battery drain in latest build??
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
That's too bad :( I reverted back to Huawei stock rom for this specific issue, as I'm on the road a lot and was missing too much.

Keep up the good work Surdu!
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
I am constantly tethering at "home" because I do freelance around the world and it has been a problem for me too. I really think about reverting too or changing phone altogether for Christmas. But still sometimes it works (tethering): when you boot and have a strong signal. But the background downloads are always stopping on 4g. I guess almost everybody is always on WiFi to not bother them?! I am grateful for the devs because I am one so I understand.

How's stock in terms of battery, signal and GPS?
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Does stock really uses the fingerprint reader on the GX8 to swipe down the menu like in this video?!

[youtube]UEMCS9V3NKU[/youtube]
[Huawei GX8] heruthe:
I install latest firmware, and i have found several bugs ( I use dual sim )

1. unable to shoot mode blur in google camera. ( after shoot always rendering and then close ).

2. mobile data connection is fine, always on even in deep sleep. But after enable GPS, the mobile data will off in deep sleep.

That's minor, and they don't intterupt my activity.

Thank's a lot Surdu, I really enjoy using the g8 now.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
You mean when you turn off "high accuracy" the cell data continues when the screen is off?
[Huawei GX8] KobySam87:
After the latest update some of my apps force closes.

Twitter and other games.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Yeah...I said that too, but nobody explains why..
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
Yes it does, you also can you use it to answer/hang up, take a picture or clear all notifications with a double tap.

Although I enjoy this feature, it isn't a dealbreaker when switching to CM.
[Huawei GX8] KobySam87:
I'm pretty sure has seen our comments and he's working assiduously to rectify this bug.....
[Huawei GX8] delf0s:
Well flashed the latest update...wiped...flashed "stock" Gapps...wiped...then did a factory reset. The phone is running beyond good. Everything is smooth, no force closes...awesome battery. I'm on the single sim, btw.

Only thing I have noticed is that the GPS is not very accurate.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Last time I heard they were saying it was upstream and not directly involved.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Sorry if i have been aggressive, i just said my point of view with no offense to anyone . I appreciate the developers work and understand they work in they free time:crying:

[Huawei GX8] heruthe:
what changes in latest firmware ?
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
Is there any program to fix the mobile connection issue where it disconnects while the screen is off? The AOSP CAF ROM has an option to keep the connection alive however this is absent in cm13...
[Huawei GX8] apet:
Had the same problem with the latest ROM. It went away after I wipped cache & dalvik in twrp
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
You had the option back or the problem went away by itself? If it's the latter, it will come back that's a known issue. When your signal is not super strong it will disconnect.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
But thwn thats gonna be a huge issue cuz sincei flashed cm my 4g signal is NEVER at full strength. No AOSP ROM gives me as good a 4g signal as stock. Also my signal for EDGE is great but it doesnt stop the issue from happening
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
I live somewhere where there's no wifi so I'm always on 4g. The signal is pretty strong because on stock I get all the bars. But on CM, I get 3 quarters. I have to reboot the phone laid against the window to do tethering. I found out that "the switch" that tells if you're gonna have a connection when the screen is off is decided only once on boot, and the setting stays like that.

So I reboot my phone 2-3 times a day to be able to work.

After trying to convince myself that I could bare stock, I reverted back to CM and finally made peace with myself: I'll accept it and live with it, CM outweighs enough stock to live with the bug.

The bug is not specific to our device so the mods can't do much about it. I think it's libraries upstream that have it. EDIT: or its a fundamental flaw in Android's deep sleep design.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
The thing is there is an option to keep the connection alive on AOSP-CAF... But then AOSP-CAF seems incomplete... (No battery charging animation while phone is off as well as the lack poor selection of mobile network options - extra options arent removed) which really isnt a deal breaker because the ROM works beautifully. The factor which made me switch was the lack of updates on AOSP-CAF, the availability of the latest security patches on CM13 and the inability to use stock/full gapps package with the ROM so I couldnt get Google Camera. CM also gives me a tad bit more customisability. This mobile network disconnect issue is literally my ONLY issue with CM13

Also, am I the only one with the issue of the stretched camera preview while recording video with the front cam?
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
new build is up. just whatever cm13 changes came down.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Just went to a café where they have fiber optics. Even on wifi, downloads pauses when I shut the screen off.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
[MENTION=5399951]redbeard1083[/MENTION] are you in contact with [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION]? Do you know if there's any changes happening any soon?
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
we haven't talked in a while. he seems like a pretty busy guy. i'm not sure what if anything else he has planned for this device. i'm just helping out w/ building the weeklies....until a more interesting device comes along :D
[Huawei GX8] redimmer:
hi, everyone.

I have a major problem and that is when I close the stock Huawei cover the screen doesn't turn off...

it is so important to me so if anyone has a solution for this please let me know and also the ois does not work ...I use camera to study my courses and use my friend's notes so this is very important for me also!!!

thanks
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
You should consider going back to the stock rom for those things.
[Huawei GX8] Mu.French:
im getting this error

Updater process ended with Error: 7

error installing zip file

-------------------------------

flashing the "supersu.zip" the root files then flashing the latest CM13.zip from internal storage has resolved my problem,, many thanks :)
[Huawei GX8] Mu.French:
i have installed the CM and everything is okay except calling,, when i call some one or recive a call my phone do a "fast reboot" i don't know why

----------------

setting Phone as your default phone app from the "App" settings Resolved my problem,, thanks for your hardwork:)
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
if you're using opengapps and the google dialer you need to go into settings -> applications -> gear icon -> set phone as default dialer.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
Is it just me or does simply keeping mobile data always active in developer options fix the issue where data drops while the screen is off?
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Not for me unfortunately :(
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
I turned it on and havent really had any drops while the screen is off... But then again ive been testing this only for a cpuple hours. I have am app called Data On Off that aows me to monitor if another app changes mobile data status. It used to alert me data was off while the screen wasnt active. Now that ive kept mobile data always active on, i no longer see it.
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
you'll probably lose it after a reboot.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
I rebooted and still working

Update: it started doing it again :(:(

This is becoming a real problem for me... I need messages on time.

How is it that this seems to not be a problem on AOSP-CAF?
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Told you it depends on the strength of the signal on boot. This is what dictates if you're gonna be cut off or not when the screen is off.

I too am suspicious on why it happens. Devs says it's upstream but it mustn't be that upstream since it's doing it only on our device.

The bug happened on other devices (cm or stock) even dating back 2012 but got resolved.

Fingers crossed it will be resolved on Nougat, apparently they are working on it for this device :D
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
Lets also hope the low signal gets fixed. Its strange though cuz the signal bar tells me signal is weak but it never ever drops in areas where id normally have low signal. These are my ONLY issues with the ROM. But i have to say brilliant work to all these devs who provide these alternatives cuz EMUI 4 sucks
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Update?
[Huawei GX8] halxs007:
Battery Issues :S

Hi i'm from Mexicto too :D, my GX8 works great, smooth, fast, some applications force to close, and the battery drains to fast, how can i fix it? how did you make the wipe data?

Saludos!!!
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
So, no update from this weekend?
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
i think i have a fix for data crapping out when the device is sleeping. as soon as i can get CM13 to build again (my builds have been failing for a week) i'll put up a test build. there is a test build of slim (in the slim thread) if anyone wants to test it out. it'll help me know if i'm wasting time. i am fairly confident it's fixed though.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
If this works... You rule... Epically....

---------- Post added at 03:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 AM ----------

Question does anyone else experience the camera preview bug when the front facing camera is set to video? Ive noticed it with google camera, aosp camera and snapdragon camera
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
been using it all night. was getting email notifications and google play music streaming wasn't stopping when sleeping on LTE. bad time for the CM and RR source to crap out, right? hahha.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
Lol... What about the previous build? Is there any way to patch that one? Are u on cm or slim?
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
I build the weekly updates for this thread, aosp-caf, resurrection remix, and slim for the gx8. I use slim the most. I was hoping to get a build out for cm13, but it's currently broken. Slim and aosp-caf should be good to go.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
Awww :crying: i guess that means ill be going to slim or AOSP-CAF... So is it that the patch breaks cm13 or u cant access the repo? Either way, excellent work. If cm cant work then ill go back to AOSP-CAF
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
the source is broken on my end. trying again.....we'll see. it's not the fix that's breaking it. no reason we shouldn't get a good build eventually.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
Im hopeful all over again :)
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
the honor 5x has official builds and that's been broken since 10/31/16. since this device is so similar, it's not surprising that this is broken as well. i hope to have a fix for that soon.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
Much appreciated
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
New Build: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312968873555011870

Data should stop crapping out when sleeping. Until this change becomes official, these updates will be unofficial unofficial CM13 builds out of respect for [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION]. What this means is that until he reviews the change and decides to add it to the source, links will not be in the OP.

Credit to [MENTION=5190980]InkSlinger420[/MENTION] for pointing me in the right direction for the fix.
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
U absolutely rock!

Btw will i need to flash the new gapps?

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 AM ----------

I ask cuz the last time i flashed cm i had to reflash stock gapps... Will i need to do complete system wipe or data wipe?
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Well man if this works, will happily donate something for your efforts. If not, will do the same because you tried :)
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
With the test build I just experienced once the exclamation point on the mobile network. I don't know if it's because I was in a mall in the basement or not, toggling airplane did the trick. Just saying if others are experiencing the same thing or not
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
Are you losing date when it is sleeping?
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
The clock seems to be OK and not drift.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
After a full day of use I have to say I'm impressed. Now I have the perfect phone :) (touching wood)

Battery was not affected at all even though the 200mhz cpu state usage was higher than before (which is normal since the phone stays more alert while the screen is off.) Before, the cpu was almost always in deep sleep. Btw I use cpu spy reloaded to check that out.

I had 4-5 hours screen on time, with SIP client in the background, couple of calls (since it's my birthday today :)) Tethering , etc still have 35% left !

Thanks!
[Huawei GX8] FoxxMD:
I concur... I have full functionality. Signal bars still appear low on 4g but ive never had a call drop. Im starting to think the phone just reads it as low. The video preview on the camera is a small price to pay. This is the perfect ROM now.
