I see no change in the (mis)behavior of WiFi with RC3. It only partially works in that it associates with an access point and downloads some data, but it seems to get stuck very quickly and uploading anything is fruitless.

A prime example of its failing is to use the speedtest.net app - it will perform the download without problem but the upload portion will just sit and stare at you forever.

Anyone?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nikol4s:
Running rc3 on two devices and have not encountered this bug. My suggestion is a reflash.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Not sure about that one ....try fix permissions in Rom Manager,or using ADB.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Geoi1006:
My question is can I get the original blur effect back from the RC1 notification power control. I liked the look better than the white toggles in RC2 and RC3.

If you're using a modified bootimage or kernel, then GTFO from this thread :)

No really, any bug reports are invalidated if you've changed stuff from stock, especially the kernel.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
modified boot image works great ... screaming fast wi-fi up/downloads. It's not the kernel causing the issue. I bet most with the wifi issue are pushing data+app backups and it's breaking the wi-fi (and who knows what else). Fresh set up (no data+app backups) or GTFO with the wi-fi issues ... just kidding :D. Best ROM for the Slide by a long shot.

NICE JOB!

UPDATING RC2 TO RC3....CM, best ROM FOR MT3S;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Dude.

I know you're *trying* to be funny and emulate Steve, but I *know* that you know that people are having wifi issues with no modifications to the stock CM6 rom + gapps.

The issue has been documented countless times and has existed before an OC kernel even existed. I opened the ticket on code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod and can verify that the problem still exists on RC3 and all the latest nightlies. It's an incredibly annoying issue for people, such as myself, who have a subpar EDGE connection in their home and must rely on wifi for speedy data transfer.

In any case, don't trivialize it.

Very well put. I don't deny that at all. It seems that every espresso is different and unique in its own way. Hell my other espresso wouldn't oc past 800 put my brothers and the one I have now can OC to the highest limit. In any case I won't lie my wifi does turn on and connect, but doesn't seem to work honestly. But I freggin love RC3 especially these new lockscreen capabilities. Adding phone and messaging to the lockscreen is like a dream come true almost I use that feature SO MUCH. If there was an ability to add other apps to the lockscreen like that this rom will be perfect. Oh and also maybe adding a setting to let you change the lock and unlock sounds? Its kinda annoying changing them manually every update lol :p I know its probably a lot to ask for but hell there seems no limit to what you guys can do. I sware honestly I would hate running stock android if it wasn't for cyanogenmod settings and all this customization that comes from it. Great job Steve. Only reason why run vanilla is because of you. And trust me I even try to stay away from your roms because I get hooked too easily and I like sense Roms lol :p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Get over yourself ... Wifi, EDGE, 3G, Bluetooth are working perfectly ... sorry to those with defective devices.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Quick question : why the hell do apps you move to SD erase themselves from the launcher sometimes like if you reboot or mount the sd? I never really understood it as to I never had many apps. But now that I actually need to use apps2sd this happens and its quite annoying :p and no I never partitioned my sdcard and made an ext and all that because I never needed to use swap on this phone so I thought it would be pointless.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Get acquainted with the actual bug ticket.

The issue only manifests under certain conditions, conditions which *you* may never encounter. So before you claim things are working perfectly -- a foolish claim considering that we don't have the modified drivers -- you should do a little research.

Sadly, there's nothing #teamdouche can really do short of reverse engineering the modified TI wlan drivers, but pretending the issue is limited to "defective devices" is simply naive. My wifi [appears to] work(s) when I'm in a 3G/H coverage area, but in an area with EDGE or worse it fails. And I'm far from the only person seeing this.

Go read the lengthy notes on it here.

My reply in short: you're wrong.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Taylortron3030:
I don't want to clutter up this thread, but...

I have been using CyanogenMod since I got my first Android in August and I wanted to say thanks. I just put 6.1 RC3 on and it is pretty ****in nice to have bluetooth working again. My smartphone was feeling kind of dumb without it. I am really impressed that the BT problem has been resolved and I really appreciate it.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Sorry about *your* bad luck. WiFi, EDGE, HSPA, UMTS and Bluetooth are working perfectly for *me* in *every* way.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] loo432:
Then how about you take your 'good luck' and keep it to yourself? Just cause you were one of the 'lucky' people that got a 'perfect' device doesnt mean that other people aren't experiencing problems.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
I'm just trying to let people who know how to use their equipment that everything is working fine. Devs cannot have special branches and endless troubleshooting for people that have defective phones/routers/methodolgies. Don't assume you understand my motives. I was replying to another post anyway so save your exhortations. Sorry I hurt your feelings there smart guy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] petraman:
Hey I hate to add more fuel to the wifi fire, but I'm having problems connecting to an 802.11 enterprise connection. I was able to use it fine before with the stock rom. The problem seems to be that I setup the parameters and it refuses to recognize that it has pap security (w/e that is; I'm nowhere near a networking guru) and resets the parameter. Does anyone else have this problem and/or knows how to fix it? Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
This whole wifi debate is pointless. We've all known from the beginning the this issue exists no matter what the setup is. I had it with my first CM ROM 6.0, fresh setup, no oc or a2sd so that argument can be thrown out right now. Not knowing how to use equipment??? Wtf kind of argument is that? I can use 20 different routers from 20 different ISP's and get the same result.

The small irregularities in the build process and the various changes (updates) that are implemented over time result in a completely different phone once you get down to the dev level. Take for example the fact that I can only oc to 806Mhz but I know people that can only go to 768Mhz or can go beyond 900Mhz. Guess I just don't know how to use my equipment right, or maybe I can't install a 'one click' zip kernel file. Then again it could be that there are just a series of small changes that were made to my series of slide that resulted in different capabilities.

So the argument can be made that not restoring data to the phone yields a better result but the truth is, you're not the first person to try that. You're also not the first person to have perfect wifi. I had it with TeamFenix2.0 and guess what? It's a Cyanogen ROM with a few apps taken out and added in. Do you even know what's in the data that's restored? It's like saying putting your old washer and dryer in your new house will make the door squeak.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mytouchguy:
To all who choose to piss and moan about wifi issues, and more so argue nd say arrogant comments.....

If you dont like it... go back to stock and deal with tmobile BS! if you cant deal with a few little issues on a seemingly increadible rom that many people have spent their hard time to make for the community, then no one is forceing you to use it.... go to tmobile and ask them to unroot it and flash it back to normal. then you can be a capitolist puppy like the other clowns out there and go about your life

otherwise just SHUT UP, and let the people at cyanogen do what they good at and in time they will figure out a way to fix your stupid little problem.

stupid little issues like this are not worth a whole booty tickled argument, if you dont like it..... leave

k thanks :)

ps, flashed RC3 yesterday, thank you cyanogen for a ever imporveing amazing rom... i will proably never use stock agian

My 2 cents

Well now, I may have some kerosene for this one...

So I got my Slide and immediately flashed RC1. No Wifi, since I did not read the thread I reflashed thinking something went wrong. Read the thread and turned on BT.

Time passes... RC2 drops I flash it. I continue to use BT+Wifi until I read in this thread that it is fixed in RC2. I turn off BT-Wifi WORKS!. But I am running out of room so I delete some apps from RC2 and gapps and reflash. Wifi works.

Then I read about a2ext. Finally I take the plunge. I flash RC2+A2EXT, wifi no workey. Later I realize the A2EXT is kinda no workey either (still can not figure that crap out!).

So I go to reinstall A2EXT but, SURPRISE! RC3 has dropped. So I do a complete wipe and flash "stock" RC3 to get a clean slate. By chance I use the wifi...and it WORKS! Then I "upgrade" to RC3+A2EXT now A2EXT and WiFi no workey without BT. What does this mean?

Speaking of A2EXT does anyone know what magic incantations I am supposed to use to get it to work? And once it does work how do I know it is working. And what should I set as the default install location (internal, external, auto)? Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Well, here's what it means...

The fixes cyanogen has added to try and make wifi fully-functional for all use-cases have helped in some ways. I've found that *sometimes* my wifi does work, but that it doesn't last very long. At first-boot of freshly wiped and installed CM6 it seems to work -- after a reboot it does not. So if you had played around with it a bit longer before flashing apps2ext you would have seen that it wasn't fully working as you thought it was.

As for why it definitely only works with BT enabled after flashing apps2ext, the modification is based on an older version of the cyanogenmod kernel for Espresso and, as a result, did not include the modifications made recently. So wifi will work 100% of the time with bluetooth enabled using that modification -- using "stock" CM6 will result in wonky wifi with or without BT enabled.

Hope that makes sense.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
well i updated the a2ext boot images so heres the deal... if you dont have wifi problems with stock RC3 then use the a2ext RC3 boot.img if you have problems with RC3 wifi then use the RC2 RC or older nightly boot.img whichever had working wifi for you. If none of those have worked but say another roms boot.img based off cyanogen did then use that boot.img just dont use anything not based on cyanogen as it most likely wont boot. Last but not least if none of that works for you and RC3 wifi worked for you then sorry you cant use a2ext for some reason even though i actually didnt alter the kernel but eh some devices can do wanky things.....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
What do you mean, the script you need to type into terminal to get it working?

su

cd /system/bin/

sh a2sd cachesd

you may need to do this before that step:

su

cd /system/bin/

sh a2sd reinstall

Both will reboot your phone and may take a bit for it to reboot. Set default install to external.

Listen troll, no one is saying this is a bad ROM. In fact is excellent. We're just trying to figure our among ourselves what the issue is since it's still haunting us. Since this is an open source community we're free to do that. If you don't like taking part in furthering the development of android then GTFO. Next time you should read before jumping into the middle of a discussion.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
i always set default to automatic or whatever since it installs to sdcard anyway i assumed external would do the stupid a2FAT32..

but instead of the sh a2sd reinstall you could do the command

sh launcha2sd

both do the same thing really but if you check out the bin folder there are other commands you can do.. say using a 2.1 rom there is a Jit installer script theres a zipalign script a fixa2sd script if something goes wrong also chka2sd to see if anything is going to ext or what is going to ext partition. very helpful scripts.. cant really say if the jit script works soo use at own risk also it must be done in recovery menu because system has to be mounted as r/w and we dont have s-off for that yet
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MLonon:
I have never gotten wifi properly with a2ext, but it was working properly with "stock" RC2 for about a week before I flashed RC3. It worked briefly on RC3 but did not test thoroughly.

I used adb because I was under the impression that we could not write to /system while booted and I cannot find a terminal in Clockwork. I did not use sudo since I was using adb. The scripts did not return any errors (except that is could not delete files that did not exist) so I am guessing it worked...?

Curious thing about default location... The first time I flashed A2EXT my internal memory was decreasing as I added my base config of apps with appbrain down to about 60.58mb. I then switched the default from auto to internal and after that the size did not change for the rest of the 30+mb of apps installed.

I re-flash A2EXT and set the default location BEFORE installing appbrain and now it behaves as if there is no ext partition..?!?!

BTW I should mention that I always created partitions using Clockwork.

Is there some place that I can look over what each of the scripts does? What happens if I try to rerun the scripts now that I have apps installed?

No Problems and no issues with this RC3 Rom, Runs faster than ever ! I can now OC to 807mhz without my phone crashing (768mhz was my max with RC1) Thanks !! Me and my wifes phones are running this and she LOVES the speed !
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
Well the part of the script that does the dirty work in /system runs while it's booting. That's why the reboot takes so long after typing them in.

As far as the whole memory thing - run the cachesd command, otherwise the dalvik is still internal and not on the sdcard. If I were you, I'd just install the apps to the phone, flash a2sd, run the commands, and move the apps to the sdcard after that. It's how I did it and I have 100MB free with around 35 apps, some are very large.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
RC3 is working flawlessly even after several reboots and radio configurations. DarkTremor modification is great ... 45 apps installed 134mb free internal. Hoping I don't continue to see 40% battery consumption (from full charge) from cell standby(!) like I did with RC2. Hoping that continued development to accommodate the defective Slides won't sully up this near perfect ROM for future releases. Thanks CM team!

I'm having the issue as well, and I guarantee you it is not a hardware issue. When I switch to stock or any 2.1 ROM, my wifi works fine. It is only on cyanogen based ROMs.

Yes, I've tried wiping and reflashing.

No, I'm not using a modified boot.img or apps2sd.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
I was on the IRC chat with hebrewtoyou this evening and it looks like an answer may have been found to the mysterious wiFi failures. Sounds like it may be a hardware and a kernel issue ... some seemingly random hardware differences with some of the Slides. I've had a rough couple of weeks and have been a little peeved about HTC not helping us out with codes and drivers and I've been a prick on the thread. I appreciate you guys not flaming me too hard for my lapse in judgement. Hope everyone with a Slide will be on 2.2.1 soon ... then Gingerbread.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
My apologies as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mytouchguy:
just putting the idea out there

but i have flashed from 6.0 to 6.1 RC3 and have yet to see an issue.

wifi works as it should, over clocking hits an excellent 864 and can be set to boot at max, wifi is stable all day and have yet to see a crash, overall i have not seen a single issue yet

so if your having issues, try that... flash up from 6.0 stable to 6.1 RC1 then 2 then 3...

thats where i stand.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Totally unrelated to the issue at hand.

orbit on IRC seems to have found the issue and it appears to be integrated into the CM github now. Will test the next nightly to see if the issue is resolved.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Not reliably. It will work sporadically -- even without bluetooth enabling sometimes! -- but other times it simply will not work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
Since Cyanogen uses ADW Launcher for the home UI, any ADW theme will work. Just get on the market and DL some or make your own. Once you install the theme, go to settings-adw settings-theme settings, look for the theme, select it and click apply. Done.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
There are also theme settings with Settings->CyanogenMod Settings that let you tweak the UI. You can customize all sorts of stuff and export the settings to XML for distribution.

When G does come out, I don't forsee any issue getting it on the Slide ASAP since it's got a nice GPU. It's the first-gen and gimped phones like Dream/Magic, Hero, and Wildfire that will be EOL for updates.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImHuge07:
Will the slide even be able to run it? I thought I read somewhere that a 1ghz processor minimum is required to run it, amongst other things.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyanogen:
I think it's gonna be more about GPU than CPU, at least based on what Romain Guy posted to his blog. And a decent amount of memory. The Slide has a gimpy CPU and DSP, but it's got plenty of memory and the same GPU as the QSD8x50 devices.
