I am using the mdeejay NextSense v.2.5 and I really like it. I could not get Michyprima to work with that build. However I installed the

huanyu BFS-BFQ-OC-UV-AXI_850mv-0.1.h-evo.zip kernel to replace the hastarin kernel. did not have a feeze for 5 hours now and I am keeping my fingers crossed. I also using the mods in "PPP data disconnects? -libhtc_ril_wrapper.so-Need "logcat -b radio" Oct 23" thread but I did those before with not much help.

What is the user experience of the huanyu vs. the hastarin kernel?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
For those of you using PPP ok and then suddenly getting loads of PPP freezes...

Ok, up until about last Wednesday or so I was getting fairly good PPP performance with minimal dropouts, then all of a sudden I started getting PPP freezes where the data connection would always get stuck in "H" with the Up arrow, and flicking Airplane Mode did not reset the PPP connection, requiring a (Hot) Reboot.

Changing kernels (hastarin 7.5 -> 7.6), updating the build.prop DNS to use provider's DNS servers (already had the net.dns, net.ppp0 prop's setup) didn't help with the problem.

Then just yesterday morning I fiddled with the APN settings and that seems to have fixed my issue.

All I did was:

1) Alter existing APN internet setting's Name and "APN" field from whatever it was originally to something else - in my case, Name changed from "internet" -> "yesinternet", APN changed from "default" -> "internet", and Authentication changed from "None" -> "PAP"

2) Pressed back button to "save" the setting, and Mobile Internet connection failed with message "Connection Failed" in the Wireless Settings page

3) Reverted the APN and Authentication fields back to what they were

4) Mobile Internet connection option in the Wireless Settings page showed "Connection Failed" again after it attempted to auto connect, but after flicking the checkbox manually one or twice it connected fine.

Since then I've had no dropouts (surprisingly). Only used internet sparingly so far for fear of having to do a hot reboot again, but results so far so good.

This isn't a final ppp fix solution in so much as a workaround for PPP "H" freezes... at least until the devs fix it.

Hope this helps someone

I had massive problems with connection losses (PPP) on various builds and I've tried almost every workaround posted in this forum without success. :mad:

But since two days I am using Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.0 rEVOlution without any disconnect. :D :D :D

I will take a closer look when I am going by train today in the evening but till now it is the most stable build I ever tested. :D

You can use open dns. It's faster.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DavidC1980:
Two questions:

1) Which thread can I d/l the RMNET R11 kernel from?

2) Does this have the screen freeze issues that the old RMNET builds had? I only ask because since all these PPP builds came about, screen freezes and SODs have stopped completely for me, but clearly data connections are now an issue.

Thanks

workaround

I have a workaround that's doing great so far, about a week strong so far. This is not a fix as I'm not editing any files. I downloaded a version of Android that had script files and 3 different kernels. And I am running mdeejay froyo z I think. So I use the pop with all default settings and it works great, when the data disconnect start I run the script to swap out the Hastings 7.6 kernel with the michyprima kernel, reboot, and allow the rmnet internet to connect, after I get a strong connection and run the script again to switch back to Hastings kernel and get another 2 full days of fast internet. It's a bit of a pain in the ass but you waste 10 mins rooting twice and get strong ppp internet. Like I said not a fix, but a good workaround to keep ppp and loud sound with the Hastings kernel. Hope this helps someone. Sorry for all the typos I'm doing this from my Droid and my auto correct sucks and I always forget to check the word before hitting spacebar.

trying rmnet

I am was using mdeejay NextSense v.2.5 with hastarin 7.6. I was fed up with data disconnects and I tried michyprima@mainframe (r11) AXI scaling Build_on. I was not expecting it to work. I though NextSense was an Evo build and supported only ppp.

Everything seems to work. Terminal command uname -r shows: 2.6.32.9-r11_on-38158-g184606d-dirty so the kernel seems to be install properly.

This is an rmnet kernel right? How can I test that is rmnet and not ppp?

By the way I am getting some inside download speeds I never got before. I got 1759Kbps when my maximum with ppp was 984Kbps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maff1989:
Hopefully this helps..

I'm using Darkstone's new HD2Froyo v3 (from 10/28 I believe) with the default kernel/settings (no wi-fi) and have had a handful of brief disconnects in a matter of 3 days or so. No mods to the ril_wrapper (nor replacement), and I am using the included APN settings (for T-Mobile, of course), whilst leaving the Username and Password fields blank. I also have the *#*#4636#*#* "Phone Information" set to "WCDMA Preferred". Once the data disconnects, though, it is quickly reconnected automatically, after the "Network failure/Retry" error occurs.

Although Glenn Beck YouTube videos load rather slowly, the browser and other internet apps work flawlessly. Little to no lag, and the download speed for mp3's is the best I've experienced thus far. It's definitely worth a shot, even if you're a Sense-o-holic, and especially if your head is aching from the hair you've pulled out trying to get the damn 3G to work properly. :P

P.S. Modern Combat: Sandstorm v3.2.7 is the ONLY app so far that is not able to connect to the Multiplayer for some random reason.. I keep getting a "server unavailable" sort of error. Haven't figured out a solution to that yet, but I'm willing to forgo that dilemma and experience the other 99% of internet apps that are working for me. :D

Its been over two days with michyprima@mainframe (r11) AXI scaling Build_on. The system crashed twice but other than I had no data disconnects. During that time I used the phone while driving long distances and listening to on-line radio. Connections protocol was changed between edge and hspa, sometimes connection dropped but there were no data freezes (frozen upload arrow).

I am not sure if my connection are rmnet or ppp. Here is what the system says:

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$netcfg

ppp0: ip 26.83.222.XXX mask 255.255.255.255 flags [up point-to-point running multicast]

$ ifconfig rmnet0

rmnet0: Cannot assign requested address

It looks like it is ppp but a ppp which I am not willing to change unless permanent solution is foung to the data disconnect problem.

I think that kernel developers could branch off this michyprima version and address the data disconnect problem succefully.

Ok, PPP dropped already. Editing build.prop does NOT fix the problem.

Yes I was missing a . These seem to be working good for me so far. I have downloaded 7 updated apps on the market, browsed some secure websites, used the speedtest.net app and haven't had to restart due to frozen data. Before I changed these my data connection would freeze with a constant upload arrow when I did any of these things. I'll give an update later if I get any freezes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
You are right about that it has to be a RMNET build. Could be helpful information to have. But I do still think that modifying some DNS settings would'nt solve the PPP droppings, because it seems te be an kernel issue.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RedWave31:
The fact is :

- Not everybody has issues with PPP

- "I" was able to enable and disable these issues only using a bad build.prop (with data still working but enabled for only 10 secs and "auto-rebooting" data connection following these 10 secs)

So:

- Don't scream at the kernel guys ^^

- Use "may be" instead of "is"

- Use "for me" instead of "it"

- Ask for advices, and search the forum (searching is a PAIN - 30secs for registered users? really?) but patience is required

Thanks :o
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lesjaw:
yes, I've been using this method since r0.x evo kernel come out.. ppp never work for my provider..because ppp doesnt automatically get dns value from my provider, so I have to input them manually in build.prop.. drop connection issue is always happen for me, it happen when I switch 3g to 2g and vice versa .. to solve this i made apn off then on again to make data work again..

I also make a shortcut in gscript to check data connection..

busybox ifconfig ppp0

if data drop it show some error in output..

ok, so just for the hell of it...I popped in my spare sdcard with phiredrops skinnyEVO 1.4 rom and edited the build.prop just a bit ago

I love this build, but last night at my girls soccer practice I had to toggle my data connection at LEAST 20-25 times in a matter of 90 minutes...I seriously wanted to slam my phone into the bleachers. We live kind of out in the middle of nowhere and data is always kind of spotty...so I know for certain that if I can go the rest of today and this evening without a data drop...this thread will have been a God send.

right now, I have my phone on the charging cradle here at work which is in a near 3G impenetrable building....my phone constantly jumps between GSM and WCDMA all day long, and just to test it even more...I am tethering with it.

I am sure that I should have encountered a data flunk out by now as its already been about 45 min and I have already gone from "H" to "E" and back about a dozen times.

...we will see, and thank everyone for their help and suggestions

I used droid explorer to pull my /system/build.prop off onto my windows PC then edited it.

Modify your build.prop file to have the correct DNS entries for your provider. I used the following for T-Mobile. I pulled the DNS entries from: http://www.opengear.com/faq383-Configuring-3G-APNs.html#USA

net.ppp0.dns1=216.155.175.105

net.ppp0.dns2=216.155.175.106

net.dns1=216.155.175.105

net.dns2=216.155.175.106

net.dns3=8.8.4.4

After edit, I used a terminal app to set the /system filesystem to writeable.

su

mount -o remount rw /system

I copied the build.prop file to /system using droid explorer.

I hit airplane mode on then off.

Next, I edited my APN to use the APN listed on that same site.

APN: internet2.voicestream.com

Proxy: 216.155.175.105

MMS Proxy: 216.155.175.105

Enabled the APN after editing it and it said connection failed a few times. Kept enabling it and it was successful after about 3 tries. Been solid ever since.

I think that's the exact steps I took.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sorin129:
Well I'm so happy I opened this thread. I don't want to get to exited but I changed my build.prop and put Level 3 Free DNS service (4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1) and so far no drops. I tried all the things that normaly would give me drops and still no drops.

Its still to early but so far so good. when you change this you have to change nat only net.ppp0.dns but also the net.dns1. So a total of 4 lines you have to change.

Anyway if this is confermed I will update my first post with easy step by step instructions.
