[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zswielder:
Hi,

Is anyone having an instability issue with WiFi connection? This happens at home and work, but my phone at times disconnects from WiFi. It also struggles to connect to "saved" WiFi at times. For example, I came home today, and it didn't connect to my home network, so i turned wifi off and on, and kept checking it, and it eventually connected. I'm on stock (never rooted this phone) 8.1, but I've had this problem even before updating to 8.1. If you have any suggestions to fix this issue, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you,
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jhs39:
I haven't experienced that behavior. Did you try resetting your network settings? If that doesn't work I would do a full factory reset but if you do it's important to select the fresh start option in setup instead of restoring from a Google backup. The backup restores some system and app data and can easily restore whatever is causing your problem. Sometimes data gets corrupted and your phone needs a fresh start.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JudasD:
i have seen this issue. It only happens on my 5ghz network. When i connect to my 2.4ghz network it is stable.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zswielder:
Thank you for chiming in. This was driving me crazy. I'll try switching to 2.4 and see if it'll go away.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] JudasD:
i am curious what your results are, please let us know.

Thanks,

JD
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zswielder:
Actually it still disconnected :( Same result.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] elkay:
I'm having a similar issue where after the phone has slept for a while, the wifi basically doesn't respond anymore until I've turned the wifi fully off and back on. Signal shows fine even though no data flows. Happens both at home and my office. This wasn't an issue at all since owning the phone through all the betas. Only started happening with official Oreo release. Forgetting networks didn't work. I'm not willing to reset the whole device right now, too much to redo. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and has a solution.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
I have one phone that sort of logs off. It says "tap to login" it is a google dialogue. It is on my home WiFi at 2.4GHZ. I will be doing a reset within a week to see if it fixes things...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Matsfats:
I am doing my Hard Factory Reset now....wish us all luck.

8.1 Oreo broke my Essential, I want it back...

More to come...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cappysw10:
Mine was doing that as well, after resetting my router no connection issues.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Matsfats:
HARD Factory Reset

Well, it's done.

It has to be done and done as hard as possible. No reinstating ANY previous software settings of any kind.

I linked to my WiFi (non 5G) after reboot, and there has since been no issue.

This doesn't mean the problem has been solved. Days may pass before it surfaces again...

In the meantime, Telus, who provides me this service has stated that an in store test of device should show whether or not this is a warranty issue. Connection to an in-store WiFi should show quickly if it's a firmware issue, and a discussion can begin about device exchange.

That's all for now.

Good luck.

No issues at home or work connected to an N router at home and an AC router system at work. Also no issues connecting to various public WiFi nodes.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] MDsz:
I second elkay, same exact problem I'm experiencing. I may consider a hard reset on my phone soon, in hopes that it resolves the issue. Otherwise, I will continue running on my mobile network. Hope an official solution or fix comes soon.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] elkay:
Unfortunately, even a hard reset didn't fix it for me. I did end up buying a new router a couple days ago which does seem to have fixed the issue in my home (was buying a new one due to wifi coverage in corners of the house anyway), but that obviously won't solve the issue at work. Not sure where the incompatibility is. FWIW, I went from a Netgear R7000 to an R7800. Both running DD-WRT with same configuration.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] superlid:
I had this issue with a new PH-1 that updated to 8.1. I was not able to connect to an 802.11n router with cloaked SSID without difficulty, when saved, amidst several other issues, that I attributed to the 8.1 update. I downgraded to 7.1.1 and the wifi issue is resolved.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ru124:
I just got an Essential Phone during the prime day deals and was experiencing the same issues. Download at 20mb/s for a couple of seconds then tank to 0.2mb/s.

Has anyone tried the latest Android P beta 3? It seems to have fixed my wifi throttling.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zswielder:
My phone was doing OK until a recent update. Now my phone disconnects and reconnects WiFi like crazy. Sometimes a dozen times in a few minutes. This is driving me crazy.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Genesis3:
If you do not have Pie on your device load it.

I had serious WiFi connection problems on the last Oreo update but when I got the Pie update they disappeared and the phone has been fine since.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] RandomZero:
I'm on Pie and I still have this problem where the wifi will drop randomly every minute or two, but sometimes it's fine.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Genesis3:
That's bizarre.... I had the one horrible Oreo update (as did a lot of others reporting in here) but since Pie it's been ok. I have both 2.4 and 5Ghz here but usually run on 2.4 as my router is in the next room and 5Ghz doesn't get through the walls nearly as well.

ooh im excited for a rom i only just heard about, to be fully out and working... gonna try it out once it is downloaded
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Austcool:
make sure u download Deadmans updated TWRP for SM-T350 above ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] TheBestKmanEver:
already did... how exactly do i go about flashing? the file doesn't seem that large so do i clean the data, system, etc. after flash of stock?

EDIT: nvm i figured it out
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] andr01dfr3ak:
I am just sitting here, wondering why the OP has not provided any links himself. It took a different user to provide links to the ROMs that aren't even for Android Oreo.

There's also no disclaimer or warning or instructions anywhere, which is very concerning because people are more likely to mess up and blame us due to there being no instructions to flash it properly, and no warning or disclaimer to tell the consumers to absolutely be careful.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] TheBestKmanEver:
already enjoying it very much. the snappy speed is really nice and got gapps installed into it with ease. hope the audio and video gets fixed soon, love me that dolby atmos mod :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] andr01dfr3ak:
I'm pretty sure that we can't torrent our nightly releases or claim we can actually produce stable builds because honestly, nightly builds are typically associated as being stable nowadays, with unofficial builds being unstable, and not everyone has a torrent client and some might not want to use one.

By the way, it's worth noting that certification for devices on Nougat has been shut down by Google, and they want everyone to go to Oreo really badly, so the sooner we can output some Oreo builds that won't just make people rip their hairs out, the better.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Spaceminer:
[MENTION=8879817]Paradoxify[/MENTION] I can't get the torrent files to work. I can add them to my torrent client, but they never start downloading. Tried force rechecking, no dice. Is there an androidfilehost link? I don't use discord, and don't plan to.

Edit; Finally got both files. Deadmans twrp does not work. When I boot to recovery all I get is a black screen. And when I try installing with ashyx's twrp, the assert script erroneously thinks I have the LTE version of the sm-T350 and will not install. If I remove the assert script, it will install, but will not boot.

I will no longer be part of this team starting at this point in time. I will return to focusing on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and maintaining that other thread I made for the Tab A (provided that I can find anyone willing to test).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] TheBestKmanEver:
I will be willing to test builds for the TAB A. I am also no longer involved in the team either.

I no longer care if it is permissive or not, however i will still be trying to compile a working permissive kernel for nougat for others who want it

If you want to have contact with me just message me or reply here or send an email to kaz@marzman.com

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Verifirs:
Hello,

I installed Lineage OS - great ROM. Only problem is, camera apps do not take advantage of the G5's dual cameras, and take generally worse photos than the stock camera app. I would like to obtain the apk for the stock LG G5 camera app for the RS988 from someone that still has it installed. Thanks in advance.

General information:

Base for OEM part: Polaris CHT_1.52.751.2

Base for SYS part: Kaiser WWE_3.08.161.0

CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0)

So it contains the latest drivers with the latest OS build. The only original OS is WWE.

That means GER|FRA|ITA|ESN are mixed builds, but no problems related to resource differences so far.​

Kernel is running in full kernel mode with disabled certificate check

This makes the OS faster and you don't need to worry about signing stuff when you want to customize the rom to your needs.

The patched Kernel is especially useful for advanced users, because it makes it easy to overwrite system files with customized ones.

e.g. for a new key board skin or replacing drivers, just copy the files to the windows folder.​

Removed Update Loader partition

It is not used at all and we get more storage.​

First boot Memory:

Premium Edition - this one is not up to date!

- Storage: Total 132.17 MB, Free: 126.17 MB

- Program: Total 100.78 MB, Free: ~61.22 MB

Opera Edition

- Storage: Total 135.35 MB, Free: 129.58 MB

- Program: Total 101.03 MB, Free: ~59.10 MB

Standard Edition

- Storage: Total 140.39 MB, Free: 136.13 MB

- Program: Total 101.03 MB, Free: ~60.65 MB

Basic Edition

- Storage: Total 153.46 MB, Free: 149.22 MB

- Program: Total 101.03 MB, Free: ~68.36 MB

This are the values for the 0.65 WWE builds, the real amount for other languages might vary!

newbie question

I downloaded http://rapidshare.com/files/100784919/Polaris_WWE_0.63_Premium_bepe.rar and clicked rom.exe and then a german window asked me to do something..:confused: i clicked something and next something and then my laptop did a bluescreen.:eek:

My phone did not die yet and like it that way.. ;)

I tried to find installation instructions with no luck.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] aganivet:
hi,

thanks for your great work.

only a question, does the 0.63 version have the htc camera patch?

thanks in advance.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] DvTonder:
Just got my first problem with the 0.63 build:

Flashed last night and installed everything. ROM was OK. This morning, when my alarm went off, I stopped it (using left softkey) and then both my soft keys dissapeared. Start menu was still responsive but no matter what I did, whenever I got back to my Today screen the bottom bar was empty (no softkeys)

SR fixed the problem and I have not been able to re-produce. Will monitor.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] schaggo:
Olioaglio I prefer German builds too, but out of curiosity I tried .63 WWE and after finding out that the speed is there I decided to stay and not go through the hassle to install all applications and customizations again. Other than the under-the-hood changes you mentioned, I couldnt find any obvious changes. This corresponds with bepes changelog: fixes here and there, new base rom, thats it more or less.

andilein 20 key QWERTZ (2 letters per key) or the full QWERTZ keyboard? bepe added the SupportMSSIP reg tweak which disables xT9 for non-HTC keyboards, thats why it doesnt work for the standard microsoft keyboard. You can enable it for non-HTC keyboards setting HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip to 1.

As for the general xT9 functionality, did you accidentially deactivate xT9 with the ROM Settings tool?

sbc302 The procedure is quite simple: connect the Polaris, be it already in bootloader mode or fully booted in Windows Mobile. Once fully connected, execute the ROM.EXE and the update process should automatically start. A progressbar will simultaneously fill up to a 100% on the PC and the Polaris. It'll notify you once it's complete.

aganivet No, its not (yet?) included. Install it manually.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] qoka:
is it possible to flash the new build, an then restore a backup except of the system files so i dont need to install and customize everything again, or will that bring some problems?

when ollipro keeps that pace that woukd be very helpfull^^

greets, qoka

edit: great work, btw ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] martiare:
Polaris_ESN_0.63_Premium_bepe, NO Funciona, no carga el HOY
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] schaggo:
qoka Theoretically yes. I didnt want to use my systembackup because I was switching languages with the ROMs. I know Sprite Backup has several upgrade options but in the end it's just a backupper and puts old garbage back onto the new ROM like every backupper. I'm always very cautious with using "old" backups.

martiare please use the English language. This is an international forum. And appart from that: I have no idea what you were asking so I can't even try to answer. I guess has something to do with charging over USB, but thats only a guess...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] isidar:
Hi, thanks for the 0.63 in ESP :)

but I have two questions (for the moment) :)

1) In the original I had the Office Programs which I cannot find either in the .62 nor in .63 ... do/can I download them from elsewhere (or why are they not in these ROMs?) or did I not find them ... :o

2) in .62 as in .63 in Configuración/Conexiones Advanced network, there is nothing written, I cannot see any word ...

(it is not so easy to explain)

i try in ITA :)

Vedo i quadratini dove posso mettere le crocette, ma non c'è scritto neanche una parola o spiegazione su cosa sto attivando o disattivando)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] isidar:
With me it is working properly (so far I tryied)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] schaggo:
Isidar the advanced network item (should) collects the HSDPA, GPRS Authentication, the CSD Line Type and the SMS Service control panel items in one unified settings panel. See screenshots attached.

As for the Office Mobile Suite, I had/have Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote available with all the bepe ROMs I tried. Maybe sounds offensive, but: did you check your Start Menu? The Office Mobile Suite is added to the Start Menu by default and cannot be found in the Programs panel.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bepe:
The tom tom voices need to be installed to SD card.

About 1.28.61.01, it is much older than this rom... the PDAViet ppl changes the rom date.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bepe:
I will try another database for the next build. If it is the same problem I'll go back the the one I used in the last ones even when it is smaller

Without vista I can not really try that... but I'll see what I can do

Undone the changes I've made... lets see if it is working now

Trying to solve that one right now

about the ROMSettings tool, I have so many things I would like to add, but somehow I can not find time for it... but I'll extend it
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bepe:
You just need to create a SDConfig.txt inside the root of the SD card. Autorun will execute it.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] DXL007:
Active Sync not working in build .63. (Standered) it will not connect to my exchange server?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bepe:
About the speed difference, if there is one it is not something I can fix, bc all languages are using the same XIP section and the same OS files and also all languages have exactly the same config... just the language resource files are different.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bepe:
The camera patch should already be included. This rom is v1.50.xx and that is the same version as the dll in the fix cab, so it was already fixed in the base rom.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bepe:
1) Office is included to the rom already... there should be a link in the start menu

2) Thanks, fixed that for the next release
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bepe:
Hm... thats a problem, bc I don't have an exchange server, so I can not try it.

I'll do some changes related to that for the next build. And someone needs to try if it is working.

I plan to flash my device at 17h,with 0.63 have you plan to release a 0.64 version before tonight?
