data issue on huge download...

Hi,

I have the same issue, after a huge download (2Mb or 3Mb in one time (or more)) the data stop working with the upload arrow staying...

I tried the m-deejey (S1) kernel, it has the same issue :(

Is there any solution to this issue ??

Thank's :)

Thank's for your answer, i tried this wrapper ;), but it doesn't solve this specific issue (data blocked after a huge download, and it's impossible to restart it without rebooting...)
[HD2 Android SD Development] famewolf:
You may want to create the logs from the wrapper thread and look in them...specifically the dmesg one...you may be having out of memory issues etc that would be indicated by the logs.

If you read the thread I mentioned, letama requested folks to provide logs for pppd issues the wrapper is not fixing.....

I want to thanks, the great work you are doing with kernel, always update with last changes on Git.

I'm using, 7.8 because the extended battery support.

I have really good battery drainage, even when im using 3G and wifi.....and one really important feature on kernels is the low temperature.....I'm have 21'C and 32'C surfing in web....the best I can saw.....it means +-0,5-1% in standby.

I'm waiting anxiously by a R8 series, update to extended batteries support.

I always appreciate good stuff, and yours kernels are one of that.

Thanks

I have been trying hastarin 8.1 since yesterday. But it seems that my battery life is shorter than with 8.0.

I go back to 8.0 despite this last release has solve my reboot problems.

I ll give it a try again but battery life is my first aim for the moment.

Has anyone the same problem?

Next kernel should be an interesting one, I think it brings RMNET to the Evo tree in the form of a module called msm_rmnet_wince.ko.

To update on this...

After 15 hours uptime and using data in some bad coverage areas, no issues with SYSTEM constantly chewing up CPU. However, it must have gone a bit crazy in the bad coverage areas, as "Android System" shows up as the highest user of battery since last charged (2hrs ago). It's gone back to 5ma standby so its fine right now, and I didn't notice a disconnect while on the train, but these PPP issues must be related to high CPU use when losing network signal. When i'm on wifi with the new kernels "Android System" is normally the lowest user of battery time.

Also, when i'm on wifi and the phone is in standby, my mail app (k9mail) is claiming 'no route to host'. Is the wifi driver disconnecting from the network? I didn't have this problem with the older kernel/build. Not a huge issue but it means your phone has no data if you leave wifi on and put it to sleep.

Anyway, good work on the kernel hastarin and big credits for actually listening to and replying to your user base :)

Cheers,

Jason
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
It looks like it but since I haven't had a chance to read IRC logs I don't know much about it. I won't be rushing a kernel out with it just yet. Work/life is a bit busy and it's not of use to me atm since I'm mostly on WiFi anyway.

Worst case though I'll update on the weekend. I figure an update once a week is reasonable.

You're welcome, and thanks for the donation.

I'm still finding I have to reboot once a day or so. I installed an app, "WiFi Fixer", and it seems to help my WiFi stay alive, but after a day or so it stops working and I can't view my Settings.

I still suspect some magic buffer or something is getting filled up. The error I saw in logcat trying to start settings was:

W/ActivityManager( 228): Activity idle timeout for HistoryRecord{4720cc78 com.android.settings/.framework.activity.HtcSettings}

I hadn't had this particular problem before so perhaps it's build related, related to the app, or perhaps I hadn't had the sort of uptime I'm getting lately to see it... Or maybe I just need to format things and start again. :(

Whatever it is it will have to wait for the weekend for me to have time to investigate further.

Just a follow up post about the RMNET commit after reading logs. It seems he made it so it can be used as a module but it still doesn't actually work so I won't release an update for it.

Stock tmous rom and radio

Good job!

This is the first time time I have been able to use android with everything I need working, over a stock rom and radio. It may not be perfect yet, but good enough for now.

I had massive sod problems, but I switched my sdcard from a 16 to an 8 gig and it's all happy.

I'm using 'Desire Sense - BlueTopia v4' updated to R8.1

I have Hastarin 8.1 kernel and libhtc_ril_wrapper_v0.3 and smd_tty start to drain my CPU almost every day (it use 70% of CPU continuously). I must complete reboot my phone. It is related to changes in kernel? This bug is relatively new.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
Hastarin,

The hard work and energy you put into these projects is much appreciated.

Thankyou so much over and over.

I'm proud to own my hd2 because what you and the other great devs in this community do.

/thumbs up sir!
[HD2 Android SD Development] otaku888:
Thanks for the great kernels. I am running Darkstone's recently discontinued froyostone.

I tried to upgrade to 7.8 yesterday and found wifi was broken, tried copying both root and zimage first, and then just zimage, but both ways result in broken wifi.

Tried the driver fix with no success, the only thing I can think that it is, is the kernel. The two zimages are quite different in size. When I go back to the 7.7 zimage wifi works again.

I also tried 8 and 8.1 but found the lack of under-volting was very detrimental to my battery life.

So stuck on 7.7 for now, anybody have any idea what might be causing the wifi problem in 7.8? Is it ppp related?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ChrisM001:
Second that. With 8.1 the data drop problems seem to come back. Ril wrapper 0.3 fix doesn't help. Reboot necessary. I'm going back to 8.0.

Hi.. I can't ping any host... I used different pingers...There is no any firewall on my system...Who can tell how to enable ping(ICMP) ??? I use Hastarin 8.1 ..Special thanks fo GRE....Now VPN works fine
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2udCrRAZdK:
I'm currently using r8.1 with phireMOD Skinny EVO v1.7 and having pretty good success with it.

I'm especially happy about being able to use VPN connections. This is now working well for me for the first time.

I am however having blue-tooth issues. It seems like I can pair my phone with my car (Ford Sync) and it will work until I turn off the car. The next time it will connect, but shortly afterwords it disconnects. If I keep try to reconnect, I almost always end up "locking up" the phone and I have to take out the battery or soft reset.

Just passing along this info, hopefully it is helpful.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kryzpee:
same to me

one interesting thing... directly after i updated the module files (but without the light file), ran the script and switched plane mode off/on, wifi works. but after a restart i got the same issue and wifi isnt working anymore.

Edit: old file on sdcard caused the problem after reboot. Everything works fine now
[HD2 Android SD Development] sxypapi:
amazing

i have a few data drops here and there but my battery life with this kernel is amazing. wow thanks :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] eenbox:
I had echo and suspected kernel but it is actually radio causing it... can't wait to get home and reflash everything back with another radio... shubcraft for the win!!! This kernel and shub build gave me full day of average usage easily ... please no echoooooooo ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
Just reporting terrible data drops with 8.1 that have went away since going back to 8.0
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
The difference in size is because 7.8 doesn't have NFS support and CIFS was moved to a module. "Broken WiFi" is almost always a failure to copy the modules correctly. I have NEVER had this problem upgrading kernels.

I wonder how you quantify that detrimental to battery life. 2mA difference in sleep is not huge. Assuming that was 2mA difference in average drain, that would mean perhaps 2hrs difference, but both would be more than adequate for daily usage. NOTE: Our battery has 730mAh useable.

There is nothing changed in 8.1 that should affect data. Look back through the thread. Every new kernel someone thinks it's made data better/worse.

If data is dropping it's doing it because your radio can't keep the connection, or pppd is crashing. There have been patches for the later, but radio wise the kernel is not responsible for that. The wrapper does the initialization of the modem, etc
[HD2 Android SD Development] bronx:
good morning to You all.

I have noticed, that with 8.1 I get amazing net speed, but batt is being eaten rapidly while online. (pretty good in normal use i.e. other than internet connetions)

went back to 8.0 just for a day to check if it's going to be better.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TruePlaya:
Do absolutely agree. Less drops than r8. Battery life is great.

FYI:

I´m running MDeeJay NextSense ROM with LauncherPro. SenseUI always kept loading itself so I had to kill it all the time with taskkiller. Then I renamed "rosie.apk" in \system\app dir - SenseUI was gone. That did a great improvement to my battery life!
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
FYI:

With r8 or previous r7.x, I can install Angry Birds on the SD card. (Angry Birds is installed in the SD card by default.)

And I can move this app to internal memory, and reverse.

With r8.1, I can NOT install Angry Birds on the SD card.

I must unmount SD card first in order to install Angry Birds in internal memory.

Although installing apps in the internal memory is better than SD card, may I ask why to disable SD card function in r8.1 ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] otaku888:
No disrespect intended, just trying to resolve an issue. I'm pretty certain I didn't copy the modules incorrectly. I've done it 7/8 times now with your kernels. I copied and replaced the root folder and the zimage each time as per the instructions in the readme. I don't know how that could have gone wrong, I repeated the process a couple of times and rebooted twice to make sure all was ok. Is there anything else I could do to make sure wifi is intact when upgrading?

I quantify the battery life not by the mA reading in current widget but by the time the phone lasts during the day. With 7.7 I get a full day of battery life, no exceptions, but when I have tried 8/8.1 I only get at most 8 or 9 hours before needing to charge. I blindly assumed it was perhaps something to do with the undervolting not being present anymore, as this is meant to increase battery life?

I assume there is some conflict with the newer kernels as well as 7.8 and my build or my radio choice. I'm sure that's no fault of yours, just wish I could figure it out so I could have working wifi in 7.8 and perhaps try the v8 kernels. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] atticus182:
Yep I second this, installing Angry Birds (the awesome update) wasn't possible while SD card was mounted on 8.1, on 8.0 and below this wasn't a problem!
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I certainly haven't done this on purpose. I've never been able to get the install to SD to work myself so it's not something I've tested.

I did disable something else in the config (LVM and crypted block devices) but I don't expect they're related.

If you want to test a kernel built with those back in to see if it fixes the issue please PM me and I'll see what I can do.

You could compare the md5sum of the WiFi module (bcm4329.ko) in your /system/lib/modules

Just run the following via Terminal Emulator or an adb shell:

md5sum /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

For r8.1 you should get:

afbfdfd415704fe6ca21671f049dcca4

For r7.8 you should get:

7fcf8ee2e5a87d88d72bda8b505bd0f3

Yes undervolting should save battery life, but it may lead to instability. I'll consider releasing a kernel with it again eventually, but wanted to try getting people using a more stable kernel to identify any issues that may have been related to the undervolting/overclocking rather than something else about the kernel or what I'm doing building it.

To give some more figures, the typical 925mV kernels give a saving of 125mV at idle (which shows as about 2mA difference in drain) and it is even less at 998MHz, ie 75mV. Even just going by percentages it's about 10% less voltage at idle, and 5% at peak.

To put it in hours, if you're seeing 8-9hrs without undervolting I wouldn't expect to see more than another 1-3hrs with undervolting.

To give you an idea, on r8.1 with light usage (some XDA surfing, a big of Google Talk, Facebook, etc) with WiFi on I'm at 50% battery after 12hrs unplugged.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pack21:
Hastarin,

With #8.1 i have 41'C

With #7:8, i have 34'C

3G or Wifi high web surfing.

So i think is good to have undervolting in kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] voiconbt:
I test r8.1 three days and i very like it. Without undervolting,setcpu but battery with this kernel is amazing.Thanks Hastarin :-))
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I doubt a 5-10% undervolt would result in a temperature drop of 7 degrees (17%).

I'm sure there is some difference, but the temperature calculations are different in 7.x and 8.x due to the change in battery driver. That's more than likely contributing to the change in your temperature reading.

If you want a more accurate comparison test 7.8 vs 7.8 Alternate under the exact same conditions.

An example.

Make sure the battery is fully charged, remove the charger, let it sleep for 5 mins (for the temperature to stabilize), then run Neocore 3 times, then take note of the temperature.

Then do the same with the other kernel.

[HD2 Android SD Development] otaku888:
You are a gentleman and a scholar sir. The md5 hashes, very helpful. It turned out that was the problem after all, somehow the bcm4329.ko file wasn't being replaced. doh!

In return I will disseminate this information whenever I see someone with the same problem.

Thank you very much for your consideration and support.

[HD2 Android SD Development] zerglisk:
Hello all,

I am not getting the "amazing" battery life as most people see with R8.1.

With current widget installed, it shows my best idle drain is at about 40~50mA.

It drains about 30-40% at night even with data / gps / bluetooth / wifi all off.

Which files do people suggest to replace for upgrading Kernel? I copy all 4 files (root folder, zimage, haret and initrd.gz) as suggested by readme.txt.

Do all people copy all these 4 files over into android folder for their amazing battery?

Thanks.

[HD2 Android SD Development] galapogos01:
Another update. 62 hours uptime, i'm getting a solid 12 hours of moderate to high usage each day with 8.1, 5ma idle, 15% battery left before I charge. I switch off wifi during the day and use 3g, but use wifi when I get home and it hasn't flaked out apart from seeming to disconnect when the screen is off. Turn it back on and wifi comes back up. 3G disconnects seem all but gone, I haven't had to cycle data in 62 hours and though I lose network as expected in bad signal areas, data comes back up when the network does. I'm using the wrapper that came with FroyoStone 3.2.

Great kernel!

Those having idle drain issues, use the recommended WM rom from your build and upgrade to the latest 2.15 radio.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:

No offense, but I think I'm starting to really hate Angry Birds and any question related to installing it. I think the title of the game should be called "I'm new and I haven't learned to search for help"

Sorry for using you as an example, it's just that this question has been asked hundreds of times and in every thread on XDA. So yes I'm tired of reading it and reading the answers....

Been running setup as below but with 2.15 radio. I live between 2 towers and suffer serious lensing or fringing whatever it's called. 2.15 radio constantly changed between H, 3G and E but kept dropping and I ran that radio for over a week to be sure. Result was excellent in good reception areas but sh!t @ home. Back on 2.14, data is showing E or G but is a solid connection. Will run for a few days with r8.1 and see.

Edit: sleep current

[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
wifi works in WM right? Just checking. If it does, I'd make sure that your using the same WM rom and radio as the others first. Then I'd use adb to push the modules again. Or try using the others SD card too, if it won't work with their SD card then sneak out late at night and swap phones...lol.

Well let us know what you tried already....:)

r8.2 released - App2SD fix

8.2 is a minor update to get App2SD working again. It seems it requires something I'd disabled thinking we didn't need it. A virtual block device.

Apologies to all those affected.

Presuming your build supports it, you should now be able to install apps that need App2SD support again without having to unmount your SD card.

And yes I installed "Angry Birds" from the marketplace to test since it seems to be the #1 app people have this issue with. :p

My priorities at the moment, when time permits, are:

Extended battery support

PPP issues, but this has to wait 2 weeks until I have spare data on my plan again and I know LeTama is looking in to it anyway.
