[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
I want to make a quick update and say that this indeed solves my campus wifi issues I have had with 2.1-based drivers.

I'm not 100% sure about the stability of the drivers though - I'm having a little trouble with maintaining a steady connection with SwiFTP.

[EDIT]I must stress, however, that in no way does this mean the new drivers are of any blame. Until I have the time to investigate deeply into this issue, it is an isolated incident that is only occurring within my network and is of no indication of the fault of the new drivers.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hagizma:
I have 2.2.1 milestone but it didnt work with me proper, I installed everything properly but i got error when i try to open wifi. then i restore my back up files but it still gives me eeror
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] royshum:
It is glad to hear that the new driver solved your wifi issues :).

Besides, are you still having the problem even after setting the "Wifi Sleep Policy" to "Never"?

In my experience, although the new driver is much more stable, but due to the highly power saving, it may still become instable (just in weak signal, not freeze nor wifi hang) if the AP have far distance to your mobile. In this case, you may try "WifiPowerSavingOff" from market to turn off the power saving feature.

But if you turned off the power saving feature for this connection session, it may drain your battery much much faster, so just use it in some trouble network :).

You haven't read the instructions carefully. It is the latest wifi driver for "2.1", not "2.2.1", as it is supposed to compile the driver from "2.2.1" down to "2.1".

So for 2.2.1, by default, you are already have the latest wifi driver (at least a stable wifi driver), it is no clue for using it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Yeah, it's always set to never ever ever turn off wifi unless I explicitly shut it off. For me, it seems like wifi is transferring in bursts or in intervals. After a while (roughly 5 minutes of heavy wifi activity like FTPing stuff), the phone will freeze up and it won't even automatically reboot. Of course, a quick battery pull and the problem is solved, but nonetheless the issue is still here. It *may* be my sdcard, since I've made a swap from a class 6 4GB to a class 2 16GB, but I'm not going to jump to conclusions just yet until I do some testing here and there.

Btw, CM6 uses the file name fw_wlan1271.bin. I'm guessing stock Android from Moto looks for fw_wl1271.bin (just guessing... can't exactly prove it since I'm not running stock Android), which was why I was trying to correct you (although it seems to me both of us are right).

If you're running 2.2.1-CM6 you can extract the files from the update zip and adb push them into the phone. That is, if you're on CM6. If not, well... you can either upgrade to CM6 or go into fastboot and restore the sbf again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MenoDev:
Very interesting what you are saying. I had the same suspicion due the fact that the sdcard is often not accessible, this again causes multiple attempts to write and fills the buffer.

Concerning the battery pull, you can reboot and wipe the protected storage area with a script, so that you don't need to pull out the battery (which at the end does nothing else but losing voltage, resulting in loss of temp data
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Yes, I have the same suspicion as well.

Can you go into a bit of detail on that? I'm interested :)

I've also had problems with the cell signal for 2.2-CM6. Again, I'm not sure the cause of it, but it's a very very serious issue that strikes at the wrong time. It seems like the cell radio freezes up even after a reboot with zero prior warning. So when I try to make a call, it doesn't go through. It's super frustrating, especially when there's really no good alternative to 2.2-CM6 right now. The only way to resolve this issue is to push the Telus baseband files again, but after a while it'll freeze up again. Ugh.

At least the Wifi works.

[EDIT]It seems like the cell problem is at least reported in the thread and acknowledge by other users. It seems to be fixed on 2.2.1-CM6, but since that's a little meh right now I'll have to dig around and see just what's causing the freeze.

[EDIT2]In fact, it seems like the problem is pretty widespread. Anything 2.2-CM6 based (that includes MotoFrenzy, Cronos...) has this problem.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MenoDev:
works flawless, extreme improvement, thank you very much!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MenoDev:
I made a little research and found a working solution, tested it myself.

Apparently it can happen that the resolved DNS can not be stored under certain circumstances, (in order to trace those, i try to avoid the "out of the box" mods, even though the guys make a tremendous job, but i feel more secure and have a higher learning curve by doing stuff myself).

In order to avoid random disconnects from network or wifi, or worst case both, add the following lines of code to /system/default.prop

net.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.dns2=8.8.4.4

net.rmnet0.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.rmnet0.dns2=8.8.4.4

These are the google dns, most probably the best choice. You can find this out if you fire up the "getprop" command.

I've seen that most Recovery tools such as the G.O.T one, have implemented the DNS fix, but personally I prefer to just fire up a terminal from the phone and add these lines manually with some comment, so i know what and why I'm doing stuff.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Please help! I succesfully copied both files using root explorer, but now I can't turn on wifi. Then I have restored the original files but it

didn't

solve the issue. I could do a nandroid restore but I really don't want to (last backup is quite old). I have a german milestone running 2.1 build SHOLS_U2_02.36.0
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MenoDev:
If you followed the instruction you should have to *.bak files that you previously pulled, so no need to do a "panic rollback".

Did you turn of wifi before copying the kernel objects and made a reboot before turning on wifi as described in the howto ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] b787:
I did turn off wifi before copying any files. However, I didn't rebooted before I tried to start wifi, only after I noticed it doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] NighTalon:
Fix for 2.2.1 Possible?

I have the same issue with my home WIFI network on 2.1 and 2.2.1: namely the connection drops during large transfers (such as a Market app download) and I have to turn WIFI off and on again to have connectivity again.

I wonder if 2.2.1 really has the latest firmware baked in...how would I compile the TI firmware for 2.2.1?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] royshum:
Can you make sure your original files are stored to "/system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko" and "/system/etc/wifi/fw_wl1271.bin" properly, with the appropriate permission "chmod 644" to these two files?

Otherwise, you may dump the kernel log "dmesg > /sdcard/wifilog.log" to the sdcard after turning on your wifi on both new and old wifi modules, so we may know what's the happening with your wifi.

huh.... since motorola didn't release the source code for the 2.2.1 kernel, I had tried to compile with the generic kernel which is the same version, as well as same configuration, the best result is only able to start the wifi, but it will keep error and restart the wifi itself infinity.

You may refer to the other thread for more detailed information:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] b787:
Permissions were set incorrectly, after I've changed them to 644 everything works, both with old and new driver. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Thanks for that, but I already had that fix applied a long time ago. The DNS issue was also troublesome until nadlabak's solution to the problem.

That said, I've swapped the mSD cards and did some transfers. Turns out, even though the transfer rates were much higher with the class 6 card (yay for solid open source router firmware!), it still transfer in bursts. Either that, or it stutters when the buffer is filled up. The stops are much shorter with the fast card, but they are still there.

[EDIT]Also, the wifi drivers does not seem to be at blame for the mSD card freezes. It has to be something else. For now, I'll transfer large files over USB. Also, the stutters disappeared completely in 2.2.1-CM6.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] MenoDev:
That "may" be a reason

I noticed that since i partitioned my sdcard, I never had the SDCard problem anymore.

Could be a coincidence. However, since I exchanged the Wifi modules i didn't charge my phone till now.. that's more than obvious. Plus the signal and download rate has increased drastically.

great stuff, fixes my sdcard/wifi combo bug

Need some help.

Royshum,

I was facing problems with the wifi connectivity of my milestone. wifi turns on/off with no issues. but it was unable to find any wifi networks around. but rarely somehow it used to find wifi network and connects also works for few minutes and then drop again. After looking at ur post i was convinced that this is going to solve the issue of my milestone. I applied ur solution and updated the drivers exactly it was mentioned. i rebooted my phone and my wifi worked fine. performance was better also but it worked for about 2 hours. then again the connection dropped and now its not able to find wifi networks .... this is so irritating. I know there is something wrong with the software. can you please help me in figuring out the issue with my milestone. the details are as follows.

kernel: 2.6.29-omap1

build number: shols_u2_02.38.1

i ll appreciate it.

Regards,

Riz

Hi All

Can I use this kernal driver with CM7 RC13, actually I am having a problem with wifi it connect for few minutes then drop automatically :(. If I keep on/off wifi it works but only for few minutes. Any solution and help highly welcomed.

Phone info::

Thank you very much.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] marceloid:
Im having the exact same problem. I can connect to any wifi hotspot, everything seems to be ok for the first minutes but then the wifi connection suddenly stops working. It keeps connected but i can't access any website.

I tried the CM7, MIUI and Froyomod. In all three of them, i got the same problem.

This driver is for fixing this problem?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] loveorhate:
My phone problem is now solved. I am using FroyoMod, wifi works flowless with FM, but still having same issue when using CM7.

From the same dev that brought you Easy Root, you can now enjoy some minor overclocking on your DX or D2 with DX/D2 Overclocker.

check out jrummy16's overclock app, just out as well. at this point, it's better than the unstable apps one, IMO. it's called droid x/2 overclock in the market.
[Droid X Android Development] gio2005:
Does jrummy's app set it at boot, or is that just an option? I don't want to lock myself into a speed that isn't stable. I know the app from unstable at least for now will not set the speed at boot.
[Droid X Android Development] MisterKrispy:
I just bought both of them. Need to support these guys!
[Droid X Android Development] BDavis81:
Bought JRummy's app and have a question. After setting it the way I want it, I checked my setscaling.sh and there are no changes. SetCPU shows the right OC speed. This normal? I'm pretty new to OC

I bought jrummy's app also, I am getting an error tho saying failed to install overclocking components..... any idea what i might be missing? am i suppose to have additional files? thanks for any insight you can give

Yep, I picked up Jimmy's app as well and also get the same error. I sent him and email and tweeted him. He did respond and it does look as though he is both aware and working on the issue...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazin619:
Okay I really really need the I9000XXJF7 firmware please please please.

If you guys have noticed, whenever you flash a new firmware update your imei number changes! Every time you update a /2../3.. or /4 adds to the back of the IMEI #. This might be a tactic by TMO to prevent people from unlocking there phones because you can not unlock a phone with firmware that has added that /2 to the back of your IMEI. The original firmware, the first one that was released when the phone just came out with TMO is I9000XXJF7 i think. I am looking for that firmware and have been unsuccessful. I found some firmware that claim to be the original but it is simply the firmware that was released with the second batch of phones TMO started selling. Can someone please help me find the I9000XXJF7 firmware.

Note: I9000XXJF7 might not be the first firmware, I really don't know for sure. I do know that people are downgrading there firmware to I9000XXJF7 and successfully unlocking there phone after unsuccessful attempts with updated firmware.

Thanks ahead of time. I have my NCK code ready and waiting. :o

did you not unlock the phone first, before you start flashing roms to the device?

Got my Venue Pro ordered a few days ago from Clove for £440 - excellent price and I didnt even realise the screen was AMOLED!

Awesome!

neither did I! Thanks for the heads up hehe

Like you, mines now ordered at Clove aswell:D

These Windows Phone 7 phones seem to be going quite cheap when bought on their own compared to other devices.
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
I wish it had 576mb RAM like most of the HTC devices.
[Venue Pro General] Monty Burns:
Why? WE have no idea how ram is used or affected on Windows Phone 7. It meets the minimum requirement and as shown on youtube, it seems to be quite zippy!!!
[Venue Pro General] bigsro:
Exactly Monty Burns

At £440 the Venue Pro is a bloody good price. Considering the size of the AMOLED screen at 4.1" and portait QWERTY. I have a HD2 but longed for a hardware keyboard - the Venue Pro is just what I need!
[Venue Pro General] Ganondolf:
it does have 576mb of ram. in fact all wp7 phones released with 512mb of ram have 576mb but only HTC lists it. 64mb is on the graphics chip.

Ordered mine from Clove yesterday also. Come on Nov 8th

? it supports tmobile 3g not at&t
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
Looking on there site with the verified freq Hell i dont know anymore. I am just coming to tmobile for this phone as of today from At&t. I knew there bands cold. May end up cancelling my order and just waiting :confused:
[Venue Pro General] ajftl:
UK dell veneu bands are 900/2100 ..doesnt work here in usa...period.. i know by experience when i bought my desire...need to be 1700..pretty much made for tmo usa...

from seller

Connectivity:

- 2G: 850/900/1800/1900 Mhz (Quadband)

- 3G: 900/2100 (Dual-band).....

it works but edge.. lol
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
Yeah thanks for the clarification. Hell i could have stayed with att and got edge. Will be cancelling and waiting. Dam. Was debating between Venue and Focus. After switching to tmobile today and having much slower downloads now this. ****. Going to hold out for the Venue and use the G2 i got today until release i guess
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
Awesome. I didn't know that!
[Venue Pro General] reggaetonero:
front cam!

do you guys know if there is a front facing cam on the venue or any other wp7 device?
[Venue Pro General] fastie:
just ordered mine, YUUUUPI

c'mon 8th november
[Venue Pro General] ajftl:
Tell me about it. The veneu is the phone I want. I seriously don't want to switch to Att but I really like the surround ...I guess ill wait for the veneu to show up here in US
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
The Venue will sound a lot better than the Surround.
[Venue Pro General] ratchetjaw:
Yeah I am just going to wait on the Venue or maybe the HD7. If I were still on att I would go with the Focus
[Venue Pro General] ajftl:
none................
[Venue Pro General] Jim Coleman:
The front-facing camera serves one purpose and one purpose only - to broadcast your face to other people.

Which begs the question.....why?

I had a front-facing camera on my old HTC Tytn and I used it once for a video call, just to see if it worked. Then I never used it again. I have a front-facing camera on my laptop and used it once for an MSN video chat. I never used it again.

Honestly, is it really a deal-breaker?
[Venue Pro General] bigsro:
Exactly Jim Coleman

I have a front facing camera on my old old old Samsung i600 and I used it once to see if it worked. It did and I havent used it since nor would I.

Never been interested in using it!

Cant see why people use it to be honest - ignore the vommit inducing Apple factetime ads.

Hope the post some information on when the USA T-Mobile version will be available. I'm definitely looking forward to this being my next device. I think the first thing I'm going to do is put a 32GB card in that puppy too.
[Venue Pro General] mrmomoman:
I hope Telstra gets this phone unlocked so that I can get it over to AT&T. I cannot stand TMobile. I run Sprint and Verizon right now and the coverage is awesome. AT&T was pretty good as well. I had tried TMOBILE when the HD2 came and the reception I had just 1 mile from the TMOBILE store was horrible. TMOBILE said I was inside and it cannot help me. DUH! MOBILE PHONE doesn't mean I am always outside being mobile.

So I returned the phone and tried out Sprint and have been very happy.
[Venue Pro General] blitzkrieg7710:
Hi Guyz... just had a small question.. I am planning to order this phone from Clove UK... only worry tht I have is whether this phone will work in India... am not sure what bands are supported by operators in my country but am guessing, since a friend of mine bought a blackberry in the UK, he brought it over here and it works for him...can this be the same case with Dell Venue Pro as well.... Any info is welcome... Thanx in advance guyz !!! Cheers !!!
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
That's the problem, bro. There is no info. We're all waiting on Dell to release the real specifications.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all AMOLED screens are pentile.
[Venue Pro General] Monty Burns:
So launch day today, anyone eany news?

edit: I'm wondering if it will become available sooner on the Dell website (the Streak is currently on sale there)?
[Venue Pro General] Se4nH4x:
Streak is there because it is for sale there...

Venue Pro won't be sold on Dell site until the 15th.

edit: it is on the US site: http://www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-venue-pro/pd
[Venue Pro General] Monty Burns:
Maybe (probably) you are right however, just because Dell are not releasing it to 3rd party suppliers until the 15th, does not automaticaly mean they won't sell it earlier... (you are probably right though)

For "launch day" though, things seem a bit quiet! Would have thought Dell would have been on to people like Engadget, Techradar etc....
[Venue Pro General] Se4nH4x:
They have a website now: www.dell.com/us/p/mobile-venue-pro/pd

This is definitely a sign that things are starting to happen.

However, I agree with you, Engadget and other tech reporters should have been kept in the loop about what is going on. I wish Engadget got a device to review already.
[Venue Pro General] Monty Burns:
Silly me! Checking dell.co.UK... do'h!

Looking at the sizes its not that much bigger than the HD2:

VP v HD2

63 v 67

121 v 120

15 v 11

So its a little fatter but not much (4mm). Should fit nicely where ever the HD2 fits :D

Weight however, its a third more! 192 (VP) v 157 (HD2)

I believe there were also questions about the radio?

Note: these are from the USA site, maybe diferent in Europe?
[Venue Pro General] Se4nH4x:
Europe has less bands (only 900/2100, not 900/1700/2100).

That's good for us in North America as AWS 1700/2100 is one of the available 3G bands here, not 900/2100.

I'm really happy about that ^^.

Please no off topic

1.Can i slide out the keyobard to answer phone calls?
[Venue Pro General] Aturayd:
I called dell sales today. The first person who answered my call knew about the phone and directed me to the right department. The sales rep that answered said they had some deal with microsoft that they would carry it on launch day and it should be open to them any day now and was pretty sure it was before the end of the week. Heres hoping that holds true.
