Strange [Q] about Wifi Tethering

I have a sort-of strange question about wifi tethering. I've gotten it to work with no problem at all, and you can call me stupid for me being annoyed at this...

On Cyanogen roms using wifi tether(all the versions that work at least) every time I turn Tethering on and off, when I connect via WiFi on my laptop, i get the "New network set location" window popping up; you know.. the one that gives the three choices of "Home Network, Work network, Public Network".

Now, this obviously doesn't give any performance or stability issues, however it's kind of annoying considering the number of connections keeps rising (I must be on AndroidTether connection 31 by now). I could also set it to "treat all future networks i connect to as public" so I wont have that screen pop up, but I don't want to do that.

I do not have this issue with any of the other 2.2 roms (such as BS, DC, official rooted, etc...) Once I set network location, it saves permanently.

Any idea on how to fix this? And once again, I believe this is with all the tethering versions.

Edit: It seems that the tethering app gives off some sort of new ID every time it turns on and off on Cyanogen roms, but not others?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bkfitz:
I don't think this is the case (that radios are backed up using NAND recovery backup)... but I guess I could try and see...

Can anyone confirm this???
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Are you using the build in tethering in Froyo? Try that. Then you won't have to deal with any version changes.

I'm not sure what the deal with those popups are for you because my iPhone, Thinkpad (Windows XP) and netbook (Ubuntu/Easy Peasy) connect just fine and save the connection settings. Is that another of those great new Windows "features" :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigblueshock:
Haha. windows security FTW =P

For some reason ever since the first nightly, the built-in tethering has never worked for me. Not sure why or what the reason is. It finds the device, i try to connect, and it always has an issue somewhere in between. And i get no internet access. (exclamation mark)

I did do some searching, may have missed something. Was there a fix for this, or is it a common issue? I would have no problem using the built in app if I can get it working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
It's worked for me since the first nightly. Are you using WPA2? Try turning that off first and trying to connect. If that works then you should make sure that you're connecting as WPA2-PSK AES. I know I had to set all that manually with my Thinkpad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigblueshock:
Actually I haven't tried any security at all, been just plain open. The first time you connect when you turn on tethering; how long does it take roughly? I'm going to try just waiting a minute to see if it eventually connects
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Radio's don't get backed up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
For me it connects as fast as it does to any other wireless router, but who knows.

EDIT:

Yea, I guess not. I just checked and it backs up boot.img, cache.img, data.img, recovery.img, system.img and has an md5 that goes along with it. No radio or wimax partition backups. :D Sorry about that!
[EVO 4G Android Development] firemedic1343:
That's what I was thinking, but it's always safe to assume that your probably dealing with people with very low aptitude scores :)

Agreed. It gives many options, if you set it up properly it's every bit as fast as anyone else...and so many customizations...perfect choice imho

btw, thanks for everything Cyanogen...LET'S ALL DONATE!!! YES, THESE ARE CAPITAL LETTERS AND YES I'M YELLING...I'M YELLING WITH JOY!!! :D:D:D:D:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I'm wondering why he didnt post the fix for the known issues... He is gonna get a boatload of newbs asking for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shyfe:
just curious how software goes from nightly to RC1, not that I'm complaining about the excellent ROM. thanks cyanogen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheMike1:
Would like to know this as well.

Thanks cyan :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] epersons:

Thanks for answering my question asap : D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mudkip:
Why not use the stock launcher from google itself or is that not OS? Also can we get a mirror ;)

You've got to be freaking kidding me. :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] firemedic1343:
Good question.

My wife is going to finally root her phone now that there is a RC...wow, she's in for a shock on the speed difference from stock.

[EVO 4G Android Development] PikkonX:
Excellent job to Cyanogen and the rest of the team. I'm actually compiling the RC1 source right now. Why? I just did a new Ubuntu install and I was extra bored :p.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
lmao how can u no see the big bold letters regarding sense lol..im downloading now and im extra thirsty lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmlott:
Believe it or not, I never applied the market fix to any of the nightlies and it magically started working on the last one. I'm about to get the RC. We'll see if it still works after.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bpqow:
The GAPPS mirror isn't working for me... Everyone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] epersons:
Worked Perfectly. Thank You.
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
Obviously ppl on here don't read or can't comprehend! That's a percentage of what uses the battery. If you are doing nothing on your phone then display will be the highest. Don't call Jesus name in vein because you chose not to read..

No disrespect, its just hard to follow what's going on when you all keep posting the same exact thing without doing any research!
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaCop:
I think this whole battery issue with CM6 is HEAVILY being exaggerated due to reading the battery usage in the wrong manner.

Folks, the battery usage screen is a PERCENTAGE. As with any piece of electronics such as a laptop or a smartphone, it's the LCD display the one that sucks the most power.

If your phone indicate that most of your drain is on the display, it's because the REST of the phone is running very efficiently. If Android or any other app was to be draining my battery more than the display, then we surely would have a problem.

I am currently on CM6 RC1 and unplugged my phone this morning to go to work at 7am. I have been using my phone EXTENSIVELY ALL DAY, so check out my battery stats as of 4:40pm (8 hours and 40 mins later - currently at 7% left):

Display 45% - Time On: 1h 40m

Voice Calls 41% - Time On: 1h 7m

Cell Standby 3% - Time On 7h 20m

Fancy Widget 3%

Android System 3%

Phone Idle 3% - Time On: 6h 44m

As you can see, I have been using my phone all day practically and granted that my office is a dead zone where I get no signal, thus for the high standby percentage, I am still at 7% left! Now, if I would have put my phone in airplane mode while in my office, I would most definitely get over 10 hours which I think it's outstanding considering this is only a RC1 ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neilkarunatilaka:
Glad it worked out for you! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaCop:
If you are asking this question, then my friend, you have no business overclocking your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thevumeister:
Just flashed this ROM, I'm loving it so far except for one thing, the camera. I search but didn't see anyone with the same problem. When I try to use the camera, I got "camera error" "cannot connect to camera". Any idea or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] uoislame:
That looks really good considering if that 3% standby your phone was searching for a single.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Do you have fring installed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MalaysianMafia:
yeah, I understand how the battery meter works, this is the only rom I've used that had the display take up so much of the overall percentage, even when not in use...
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
Is stereo bluetooth to audio working?

The last nightly build it would only work on Mono.

If it does, then I will flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
What is the time without signal? Sadly my work is the same but I keep it plugged in at work to solve this problem lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Yea its back working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] strung:
folks the power usage thing isn't accurate
[EVO 4G Android Development] kill3st:
I used Titanium backup's uninstall to get rid of it, then did a 'adb -r signed_facebook.apk' to install the new one. After that, reboot the phone and it should work just fine. Another way, you could do an adb uninstall maybe...

[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
As Cyan said... the %'s are wrong he needs to get the detailed specs to get them correct...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lordcyrus:
Display 57% (1:18)

Voice Calls 22% (:15)

Robo Defense 7% (:15)

Cell Standby 4% (4:46)

Android System 4% (:08)

Phone Idle 3% (3:28)

Swype 2% (:04)

Handcent 2% (:03)

4 hours, 46 minutes since unplugged. 14% left. Battery has been recalibrated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MalaysianMafia:
thats fair then, I was just wondering why my battery life seemed to take a digger when I installed this, but I did just reset the batter stuff too so we'll see...

that being said, I have set to find the setting that keeps the status bar showing at all times, or the part that keeps the corners rounded... i've looked everywhere in cyanogenmod settings, where is it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] HondaCop:
*yaaawning*
[EVO 4G Android Development] craigbailey1986:
It's just my assumption but I have tried every froyo build including ones not listed on this site but it is a froyo issue not a ROM issue. Other ROMs on here are being underclocked so of course this would seem to use more battery. But I have been using the nightly since day one and I get well over 12 hours of battery. Just let it cycle through a few times and then post if it didn't get better over time....

Again no disrespect!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dtruong23:
Camera Error

Do you by chance have Fring installed? Last time I had that app installed, I got the same Camera Error. Try uninstalling and the cameras should work again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] werkem:
Am I the only one who still can't figure out froyo vibrate ?

I went into settings sounds, when I am in silent mode I have Vibrate set to "Always", yet it never does it .........

cm6 rc2
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Silent mode doesn't vibrate... Vibrate mode does. When you have vibrate on Always it vibrates in Ringer on and Vibrate mode. Not Silent Silent mode...

So I guess you need the little vibrating phone icon and not the speaker with the X.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TF1984:
IS ANYONE HAVING 100% AWAKE TIME?!?!

I have posted this question multiple times in this thread, nothing.

Ever since using any CM6 build (currently RC2) I have 100% awake time.

Spare Parts indicates UID 10018, google indicates that is tied to com.alarmclock.process.

Hello? Anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Nope. Not me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TF1984:
So you are having normal sleep functionality?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
In my Spare Parts battery history it shows

Partial Wakelock:UID 10018

Total time: 1m 31s

My phone's been on for much longer than that too. So I'm pretty sure it's sleeping fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] werkem:
I have it on the vibrating phone icon and im switching it with pro switcher, but when i goto options/sound it has silent checked
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Yea, it's still considered Silent though. It's just there are two modes I guess. I am using the Power Control widget and I can switch between all 3.

Sounds like you should be getting vibrations though. Does it vibrate on calls and just not notifications? I think those have to be set in their respective apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fchipm:
I seriously hope Cyan is aware of the WiMax indicator LED and would consider developing use of it for notifications. I didn't even know it existed til I saw this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746732
[EVO 4G Android Development] werkem:
ya it vibrates on calls just not on email/sms

got it thanks ! had to go into email and sms and set the notifications there

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] dave31175:
2 issues

1) GPS (problem since RC2, wiped before RC2 fyi) -- even when "on" GPS won't find satellites until I turn it off then back on. This happens anytime GPS hasn't been used for a while.

2) Wifi (have noticed this since RC1) -- I haven't discerned a pattern, but very often when at home or work (2 places I always use the wireless) I'll notice that wireless isn't connected. I'll go to wireless settings and find the network "disabled". Wifi is set to never sleep. Also, quite often at home it will get stuck on "obtaining IP address" unless I power-cycle the router. 2 laptops connected wirelessly at the same time have no problem.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nswenson:
Mine also is not working. On RC2 I got a lock, but it took a long time. Now I'm on the 8/19 nightly and it's not working at all in my office building. Normally it works fine. Even the non-gps location part is not working for me right now.

Edit: Actually, after rebooting the non-gps location works, but GPS lock is failing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
My GPS seems to work fine.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Sigh. I find myself saying this more and more. Most people do not get two days of moderate to heavy usage. It is perfectly normal, and most people will agree, that 8 hours would be great with ANY 2.2 ROM with moderate-heavy usage. The few who claim (not calling you a liar, just lucky) that their battery lasts that long need to realize they are outliers, and have gotten the long end of the stick by chance, are lying, or don't know what heavy usage is.

Sorry for the mini rant
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:
the problem we have is with defining "Moderate Usage" or "Heavy Usage".

it depends if you talk for 10min/1hr/3hrs per day on the phone

how many things are sync'ing (facebook, weather, news, email, podcasts, etc)

how much do you like looking at the screen

calling someone a liar (even indirectly) due to their usage of a subjective term is rude. for someone in sales a light/moderate usage day could easily be a heavy usage day for an accountant. one lives on their cell phone the other mostly at a desk. a geek who tweaks/adjusts/finagles/etc their EVO all day will use up the battery much more than that accountant; who uses it as a phone and email (and, of course, a lil news or a game during the morning constitutional) yet otherwise leaves it in the pocket/purse most of the day. the salesman who only talks for 30min may say it was a light day. the accountant who spoke for 3hrs may say it was rather heavy usage.

ex:

60,000 miles per year is light driving for a professional driver

12,000 per year is heavy usage for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackshin0bi:

Hey everyone I just had a quick question. I was checking my battery usage and noticed that the green bar for Android sysem was completely filled but it also was listed at 34%...is that good or bad?

This message EVOlved from the one and only EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drodzand:
Yeah it really depends on what each person subjectively thinks is moderate or heavy use. For example on work days I consider I give my Evo some heavy use. Heavy being 2 hours of Pandora, 1.5hrs of talk time, 1hr gps and some light email/twitter reading. Under that sort of use I can get around 8rhs. Having said that from what I've seen the average battery time for the Evo is around 8-12hrs. Some people get extraordinary battery life but that's...well...extraordinary. I've reached 18hrs but that's if I turned off all wireless and hardly talk.

Maybe in another thread we can design some guidelines that define what "heavy", "moderate" or "light" use is and then people can see where they fall and say how much battery they get in any of the predetermined types of uses. But as I said, in another thread.

btw this is my first post here and I want to thank all the devs for doing all the hard work they make. We are really grateful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drodzand:
that just means that Android System is the one that is using the most battery...it's like the 100% for all other bars to compare to. At least that's how I've always read it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmegalodon:
Good battery for me is 12-15 hours with 2.5 avg display on time.

Ok so I am having problems with my screen calibration. Whether I flash clean with cw or RA my calibration is off.

If I lay my phone flat it goes 270. And I can barely get it to go 90. I really do not want to go back to sense ever.

I will pay for a fix or calibration app.

Have tried going back to fresh and using g calibration under settings/display. After that orientation is great. But as soon as I flash any cm6 rc2 or latest nightly then calibration is so bad that it is almost unuseable.

Besides that, I have RC2 sitting as a nandroid. Hoping the new release will have much better battery life, doesn't seem like aosp works well on side of sense. Sense seems to have SUPERIOR life compared. So patiently I wait... :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] vboyz103:
I would suggest disabling all profiles and just roll with screen on to see if you still got lags. I only have screen on and off scaling.

Also once profiles are disabled, make sure to run quadrant to jump start the CPU and then do pinch action to see if it helps. From my experience lagging in touch caused by CPU speed is not fast enough to process.

Also, consider changing governor to ondemand, or performance to see if that helps too.
