Weak WiFi

First of all, this is an awesome mod and thread! I've found so much help here, but I'm kind of stuck on my current problem. It seems that my wifi signal is very weak on my EVO.

I'm running DC 3.2.3 with the Nova screen fix and if I get more than a few feet away from my router it the signal pretty much dies. I've tried things in the 2nd post about updating radios, etc. and I get no good results. Maybe there's something in this thread, but I haven't had luck finding it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Other than that issue, this setup is awesome. Just waiting for a Froyo build!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bhagiratha:
Well everything was fine for me until I tried to apply the Apps2SD settings from the dconfig menu. After the phone rebooted, it just kept looping.

Silly me, I didnt think clearly of what I was doing and wipe my sd and partitions clean!. damn

I still have root, android system recovery, nand ... but since I wipe the SD, I cannot restore from a backup nor run DamageControlv3.2.3_deodexed.zip again.

Is there a way I can send back the custom ROM via adb shell over to the phone so I can preform the install again?

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
You can mount the sd card via the Recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Wow. Quiet this morning.

Hopefully that means TrevE and Damageless had a good night of testing the new stuff and we'll see an update today.

How about it TrevE? Any ideas yet of a release timeframe? (Not pushing, just super excited) :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ssgelm:
This may be the longest period of downtime this thread has seen yet...
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
I think everyone is just 'quietly waiting'. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bhagiratha:
Yes, that worked . Now I know what the usb ms option does . Gratitude!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fyyzer:
Quietly refreshing is more like it. Can't wait to see what they've cooked up!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
Just a quick question for all you guys. What does jit do to battery life? Does it drain a lot, stay the same or improve? The speed has increased a bit and no problems yet. I used the jit casual sense banned profile.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JuggZaPoppiN:
I have been reading through the forums and there are some people who have the issue with the battery icon dissapearing and being replaced with a headset icon.

Example below.......

I am having the same issue, and can't find a fix for it. The icon does go away while charging.

Anyone have any suggestions.

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
You have the old aloysius theme. Grab the new version for 3.2.3 from dcupdater, or from Koni's post in themes/apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] conflikt:
Anyone know of a stock or safe setting to use with setcpu?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Repnepto:
I was wondering the same thing. I figured I would just wait for froyo for jit. Only cause I am used to the since ui and didn't feel like changing yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
Actually it bombed out real quick like right after I posted it started to freeze up and stuff so maybe its not so great. I would recommend launcher pro though if you use sense analog clock or fancy widget you won't miss sense. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Emrys_90:
I like everything that sense has besides the dock, which I use Launcher Pro for. I like the Facebook sync, the status bar and notification drop-down menu and such. So I'm glad that this will be a SenseUI rom, I hope it stays that way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Genjinaro:
Man, I love this ROM, I'm getting 10hours of non-stop 4G now. :)

All is right with the world.
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnpucillo:
I am finally taking the plunge into the DC world. I have tried all the others and can't seem to find one that is stable and gives me good battery life. I use Ava's Froyo ROM but I like to have a 2.1 build that I nandroid and use when I need a camera or more stability. I am about to set everything up now. Is there anything I need to be aware of? I appreciate your guys help
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
I agree that sense has good features just not the home screen. I think its best to just leave it run in the background and use lp as home. Of course everyone has their opinion of their favorite. Treve said sense will be in 3.5 as an option to use so everyone will be happy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
This Rom is pretty much flawless. Just be sure to choose a profile in dconfig of your choice. Battery saver is my personal favorite. Also you will probably want to read the lengthy 2nd post there is lots of good info in there all about the Rom. Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeyo987:
i get this now "failed on 'system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk' "

thanks for all the help guys still cant figure this out

EDIT i flashed the lwp.zip could that be causing this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JuggZaPoppiN:
Can I just flash the updated version directly over the existing w/o any wipes?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] g12345:
4g never turns off?

Long time lurker here, have not posted in a while. Anyway I have had WiMax issues since upgrading to the rooted OTA update. I finally got it to connect by flashing the latest Damage Control ROM, deleting the XML file and updating profile. I am able to connect to 4g at my house in northern Denver which is very cool, looks like they are brining new repeaters up every day around here.

My issue lies now when I turn off 4g. It looks like it never really turns off. It says it is, but I get horrible battery drain. When I look in the logcat, I get this message spammed every second or so:

E/Wimax ( 703): <DC CONNECT> IO error: msg=127.0.0.1:7771 - Connection refused

If I reboot the phone, the error goes away, 4G is off, and I get normal battery drain. I have seen others having this issue but have not seen any sort of resolution. Anyone have any insight into this issue? It is pretty annoying to have to reboot my phone every time I want to check 4G...

Oh and also I never had any issues with the MAC address being wrong, it has always matched what it should so that is not the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeyo987:
oh and for damage control i was able to push the htcnews widget and fmradio but i cant get the stock.apk or stockswidget to work, it pushes fine to the phone but when i go to load widget i dont see it there, any ideas, i pulled the apks from the stockrooted rom, thanks!

when in usb debugging mode when the phone turns on itll ask for permission and ill see htc.com.(something).stock, does that mean it loaded but it wont show up in widgets, thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnpucillo:
I am downloading Aloyisious full color from the DC Updater right now. I also saw Aloyisious Espresso in there. Does that just change the bottom bar to the Espresso? Can I flash that right over the Aloyisious full color theme? Thanks for your quick response and help
[EVO 4G Android Development] aaron130:
Ya you can flash right over without a wipe. And yes the Espresso is just the bottom bar. And I think you should be able to flash the Espresso right over the full theme but Im not 100% sure but I think you can. If it doesnt work just flash the full theme again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
Have you done the whitslack method from second post? (Do you have 2.05 radio on your phone that is required for it to work)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Renegadez:
I am still have front camera issues when trying to use FRING I use this for video on wifi when im out of the country to talk to my wife. I have dc 3.2.3 installed nothing else.FRING just cant recognize the front camera, I went tp thier forum it is useless. Does anyone know of a setting to enable/disable front camera settings or even another app that can do video chat on wifi or a fix in DC regarding FRING any help would be Greatly appreciated. Damage Control in all other areas is just rocking my phone Huge thanks to the Devz on this Rom!!

[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeyo987:
could flashing the lwp.zip make the vanilla lockscreen patch i downloaded not work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JuggZaPoppiN:
Thank you.

That fixed the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] g12345:
Yes I did the whitslack starting over meathod before I flashed the latest damage rom. I am running the most current 2.05 radio as well as the latest WiMax radio. I am able to connect to 4g just fine now, the issue is when I turn it off it doesn't really turn off.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sstory792:
O ok well I havnt seen that issue. Unless your using WiFi I've seen that you can't use both without rebooting in-between. That's a bug in the sprint ota. Otherwise maybe you should nandroid backup, wipe and reflash dc and see if that fixes it and if not you can always go back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
As the LWP fix shouldn't replace any framework files, I don't think it should.

[EVO 4G Android Development] johnpucillo:
Sometimes I do the stupidest things. I flashed everything ok but when I went to restore my apps with Titanium I chose to restore system data which of course restored everything from my previous ROM. Needless to say things didn't play right and I started getting force closes all over the place. I ended up wiping everything clean and starting from scratch. I guess its all part of the learning curve with Android

i was trying to move the file manually to dcbanned

im trying to get the vanilla lockscreen to work because after flashing it and banning HtcLockScreen in DConfig it still wont work, the stock still shows up

thanks for all the help guys still cant figure this out

EDIT i flashed the lwp.zip could that be causing this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
Lwp.zip should not be causing problems like that. It is simply replacing two .apks in /system/app/

I guess you may have to do this using adb in recovery.

Go into recovery:

adb reboot recovery

Then mount the file system:

adb shell

mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Then try moving it (in adb shell) :

mv /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app/dcbanned/

Then reboot.

I hope this works.

God that was hard to type lol.

[EVO 4G Android Development] SouL Shadow:
I remember reading in this thread (and possibly others), ppl having similar issue with 4g not shutting down. It appears to be a htc/sprint/ota issue. My guess is it's the same cause of the 4g/wifi issue. It seems sprint/htc is aware of a number of problems with the latest wimax. (they appear to have stopped preloading the new update on new phones) Given that 4g is a big marketing strategy for sprint right now and the evo is currently their flagship device, I would expect to see some kind of update or fix from them sooner rather than later.

That said, I'm betting on the xda community to deliver faster, higher quality updates then htc. Although, the wimax issue will likely depend on htc as it's still new and the inner workings are not very well understood by most xda dev's.

well, that's my 2 cents. I'd quote references but it's difficult to quote from different threads with the xda-tapatalk program. But all info was gathered from various evo 4g forums on xda.

-SLS-
[EVO 4G Android Development] g12345:
Thanks for the insight, doing more research today I was coming to that same conculsion, I found people posting on Sprint's forums with the same issues and they were on a bone stock non rooted Sprint ROM with the latest OTA. Looks like I will be patiently waiting for a fix, its not that big of a deal atleast I got 4g working finally :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] thegame3202:
I got ants in the pants over DC 3.5. I keep checking every 5 minutes for new posts or an ETA. lmao!
[EVO 4G Android Development] damageless:
We have been hard at work on it. I think we expect a release for sometime tomorrow. It will be pretty big. I'm way psyched about it, and I notice that Trev has put some hints as to what it contains.

We have spent some extra time on this release, making sure that it will be good and getting everything up to par.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeyo987:
WOW that is the coolest thing ever, thank you so much! it worked finally!!!! did you type that using ur phone, that was awesome
[EVO 4G Android Development] CaptClay:
Love this ROM so far. Been using it since yesterday. I put Fresh on my wife's phone to see which one works better. Both seem great but I've really been digging the DC ROM.

I just now had my first issue with it though. During the last phone call I made, after about 10 minutes into the call the phone just randomly rebooted itself. I called back and 1 minute into the call it rebooted again. Tried one more time and the call lasted about 30 seconds before the phone rebooted once again. Anyone else have this issue?

I've got these apps banned, sense, htc lock screen, htc world clock, twitter and friendstream. I've got the vanilla lockscreen working and I haven't messed with or touched the advanced tweaks. I have not flashed any radio updates either. Any ideas what the problem could be?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Repnepto:
WOOT! You are my hero lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
oh now i'm extra psyched. woohoo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tatnai:
use profiles.

1.15 max .245min for everyday use (with epson overclock undervolt kernel, it does not climb above .998 if you set above 1.15; set at 1.15, it scales up to this max no prob, I think this is a limit of the kernel)

around .5 max and .245min for screen off (some report problems going under .245, i have had lockups and slowdowns right after coming out of screen sleep, I would not go below 0.245)

figure something else out for any other profiles you might want.

note have not checked or done anything on main page (my profiles are running the show) or advanced (profiled in dc config take care of this, don't want them confilicting).
[EVO 4G Android Development] tatnai:
are you running 3.2.3, and if so, do you have the latest radio update per post #2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] CaptClay:
Running 3.2.3. Have not flashed the latest radio. I thought it was just for wimax/4g and I'm not in a 4g area. Could flashing the latest radio help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
Yeah, hahaha. But no worries. Glad it worked out. Now that I am back home, typing is less of a chore for sure though. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] thegame3202:
Nice! Your pockets will be jingling if it's a fully functioning froyo! Either way I'll be donating though :-) Finally got some money to spare! Thanks for all the hard work guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tatnai:
don't know if flashing the latest radio will fix your problem, but quoting post 2:

so I would start there first, then if your problem is not fixed, look for additional answers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
Yes, flashing the latest radio is your best bet. The only 100% safe way to do it is using witslack's PC36IMG.zip.

Under the 4G section in the second post, there is a link to witslack's guide. All you need to do though is download the PC36IMG.zip, and flash it through the bootloader. Then flash DC 3.2.3 on top of that in recovery. You don't need to do the other steps in witslack's guide. This will wipe everything though.

Actually, you can probably do a Nandroid Backup from recovery, use witslack's PC36IMG.zip, then restore your Nandroid. That way you won't lose anything, but it may cause issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jjlee:
doing this right now. if I already have DC 3.2.3 installed, do I wipe anything before using the PC36IMG? or just flash in on top, and then re-flash DC on top of that? and what about the novatek panel fix kernel? flash that on top of everything else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Renegadez:
I am running DC 3.2.3 will updating to the newest Prl 60668 break my root or my DC rom??

aslo if I do a nandroid backup does it backup the entire current state of the phone like to say if I needed i could put it back with root and the DC rom intact everything but whats on the sd card??

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] sherman901:
Why is my PRL version 60667?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
The PC36IMG will wipe everything.

After you are done flashing the PC36IMG.zip, you can just go into recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, flash DC 3.2.3, then grab ffolkes' kernel from the second post of this thread, and flash that one right over DC 3.2.3

You should use the kernels in the second post because DC uses a customized kernel, so DCConfig won't do anything without it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CaptClay:
Alright, followed witslak's "start over" instructions. I did a nandroid backup and now I'm Flashing DC 3.2.3 again. Thanks for the advice guys. I'll let you know if I have any trouble with the results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
Updating PRL should not break root. Updating profile shouldn't break root either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Renegadez:
new version came out today.

Jykinturah Thanks I can never tell with sprint better to ask :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jjlee:
Thanks for the clarification.

One more. When you say it wipes everything, does this mean I have to unlock Nandroid (pt. 2 of toast's root) afterwards? Or will that be kept intact?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
NAND will remain unlocked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jjlee:
Just finished it up. Thanks :)

saw that damageless posted saying we may have an update tomorrow. As far as I know, I realize we can flash DC roms on top of each other, but will that still be the case for FROYO roms? Debating on wether I want to wait to do the fps kernel until after tomorrow as well.

Again, thanks for the quick answers :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
Froyo is different so a wipe will probably be mandatory. Who knows though, they may work something interesting out. TrevE and damageless will let us know.

No problem. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] topdnbass:
This ROM Broke my live wallpapers =(

Galaxy, Water, Spectrum, Grass, VU Meter, waveform & Many.

Very annoying cause I love the first two.

I get a force close when I try to view them, before setting the wallpaper.

It says Process com.android.musicvis stopped unexpectedly (for spectrum, VU Meter, waveform & many)

For the rest it says the same thing but com.android.wallpaper

I tried wiping everything and redoing, TWICE.

I did this right after using whitslacks start over method, and they worked right before I flashed the ROM..
[EVO 4G Android Development] zeeyo987:
use the lwp.zip file and flash its right after the link to the 3.2.3 download
[EVO 4G Android Development] topdnbass:
Ahh good point sir, I forgot about that :D

I glanced at the known problems and didn't see that mentioned.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
Will we be able to use the new FPS kernels with DC3.5. That would be awesome especially now that screen tearing is fixed on the Epson with 53 FPS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
I have read elsewhere that the customized kernel can cause touch issues. Try a quick flash of the stock DC kernel. It seems really inconsistent, and only a few people get the issue.

EDIT: Nice font BTW. Humor me with the name of the font, please?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hx3:
Haha. Again, sorry for the long post. I'll try flashing the stock DC kernal. Thanks for responding.

The font I'm using is called Sony Sketch.

Edit: It's a no-go. Still having the dead spot issue with the stock DC kernal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Huluk:
I successfully flashed this today, and so far everything is great! My only problem is that I keep getting a force close when i try and set the water live wallpaper as my wallpaper.

Anybody else experience this?

Still a noob, not sure how to fix it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SouL Shadow:
Haven't noticed any dead spots here. Using 3.2.3 w/ original kernel, no jit. Although from day one when I got my evo there is a dead area along the entire left side. It's only about 3 pixels wide so I'm not worried, but it can be annoying when trying to copy text in a terminal.

Also, while currently typing this I notice that the entire touch screen is less sensitive then normal. Maybe from the heat of the day. Also charging the battery I noticed battery temp was up about 8 degrees. My screen stays on while charging but this is the first time I noticed this. Maybe just a fluke, but figured I'd share.

-SLS-
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jykinturah:
In the second post, TrevE posted up a LWP fix. Just flash that and you will be right as rain. It should be right under the DC 3.2.3 download link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] effluent:
Read a couple posts up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Huluk:
Thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nondescript Van:
running 3.2.3 and flashing the "Netarchy Fix#2 FPS patch for Epson screens with modules" kernel linked in the second post broke wifi for me. I then flashed the tearing fix test kernel that gives ~52 fps and everything worked just fine.

I don't know if that was a known issue but i thought i'd post anyway in case somebody else is having the same problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drunkenmonger:
After I flashed this Rom, I went back into recovery and I noticed when i went into the "wipe" section of recovery there was no way to "return" back to the main menu (no selection for return). So I pulled the battery, let the phone boot as normal. After it booted up I ran an adb shell and flashed the recovery img from toast's second part of rooting. Will this affect the way this rom performs?

Thanks in advance for the help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] caryroberts1:
If you are using RA recovery than to return you just hold down the up and down volume buttons at same time
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkcovers:
Was waiting to root until most of the problems and such were worked out with the kernals, roms, 4g, etc.

Finally rooted, nand unlocked, with amon ra's recovery.

I then used the "starting over" method to give me a good base.

Stock kernal, stock OTA rom and made sure everything was going smoothly.

Finally decided on DC's rom and the underclock kernal.

Flashed 'em both and everything went smooth. So far, after a few days with it, no problems.

I've noticed the boot time is longer than when stock. I'm guessing this is normal with custom roms and/or kernals?

I've only been able to get 45fps with evo switcher, I've tried a lot of numbers. I've noticed some people can get over 50? Perhaps I need the normal volt kernal and overclock? Either way, I'm fine. I didn't have a problem with 30fps. Not much of a gamer, except for emulators.

I have setcpu set to on demand. Haven't noticed any issues with this after 3 days.

Also set DCconfig to battery saver. No issues here either.

I've been able to get 30 hours of battery life, with normal usage.

Thanks for the work DC, I'm enjoying the rom.

Running DC 3.2.3

Updated radio to 2.05.00.0.10 then flashed recovery

ran speedtest.net app and fastest download was .54Mbps (.40 on average) and upload .39Mbps, was getting 1.5 and .75 before i updated radio... any ideas? :(

PS: was wondering if i should flash a different kernel, using stock HTC-Kernel@and18-2 #1

also noticed my wife's PRI on her EVO is 1.40 and mine is 1.34, does this mean anything?

sorry for the noob questions, but i appreciate your help and patience :)
