Issue with Wifi Calling?

Hey,

So I've had this running a couple of days now, and I'm setup to use WIFI calling from work and home, same as I did with .9.0 and every earlier version. Something odd that I'm observing is that every now and again after my screen turns off (possibly not related) I'll wake it up, and the lock screen says limited calls and emergency calls only or some such thing, and when I look at the signal strength rather than seeing no bars, it's got greyed out bars with a small X. The only way I seem to be able to fix this is to either turn off and reconnect to wifi calling, or restart the phone.

I will add that even though it appears to be an issue, I have no problems with calls or data.

I might try to wipe and reload again just incase its a random quirk, but I thought I'd toss it out there just incase others have observed it. Searching hasn't turned anything up on XDA or google.

[MOD][PORT]Notification Menu Power Control Widgets for Sense

O.K. Guys originally ported by JsChiSurf --> HERE and then ported by MrLuje for 1.85.73.2, Signature Verification in PowerManagerService.smali fixed by me, per rmk's suggestion. I also added JsChiSurf's --> PowerControl Settings app. (see below)

Here you guys go -->> DOWNLOAD NOW

Can be flashed via CWM2/3

Also this can be ran through the UOT Kitchen (thanks to Mendozinas - and many others) -- Remember with this mod enabled, for UOT Kitchen to properly edit the framework you need to do the full customization and make sure you enable any options that refer to power control / notification widgets!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Love the port you did for the power control widgets in the notificaton bar ben, but it lacks the wifi toggle.. (one i use the most honestly) so how can i go upon removing this? I want to go back to the power control widget option via virtuous and this one overrides it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
no need to remove... read this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9885714&postcount=1

it will tell you how to change the widgets to be whatever you want (of the 14 available)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
Have tried both Standard and Advanced kernels along with the default stock. But i seriously dont understand why the UI seems to be way slower. Even before installing any extra apps.

I did a full wipe installed 1.0.0 , rebooted and then let the device sync and everything. Then again rebooted to see if anything would be different. No dice. Still the difference in speed is visible.

Now on next reboot i installed the standard kernel. After i did this there was a very slight improvement in UI fluidity. But it was slowing down again and again.

So i again did a full wipe, reboot/Sync/setup home screens. And then installed the Advanced kernel with the following SETCPU profiles :

Screen Off : 245/368 (On Demand)

Screen ON : Max freq - 998 Mhz / Min - 245 Mhz (On Demand)

Now the thing is it runs smooth for a while and then but i am experiencing very frequent redraws and Rosie slowdowns. (i did try restoring the stock launcher from the Virtuos MOD's in the ROM Manager and also with the one in 0.9.5)

So i wiped yet again and went back to 0.9.5, which is super smooth right off the bat. Now since the standard kernel here was working uber smooth. I made a Backup and installed the Advanced kernel. With exactly the same SetCPU profiles as above on the SMARTASS governor.

0.9.5 is way smoother. Have tried everything possible, cant understand what is causing issues with 1.0.0. Because i have the same no. of apps installed and the exact same Homescreen layout with the exactly same widgets.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashex1:
What are the odds of this working with 1.83.415.2 (v0.9.5)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Try flashing 1.0.0 again and then applying this patch:

http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/extras/virtuous-patch_172_rosie.zip

Let us know how it works out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smoochiezz24:
Has anybody had any luck changing the power down animation? I tried swapping out powerdown.zip (system,customize,resources) but that didnt change anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
RMK, in virtuous it is not possible to map the TAB key in emulators like snesoid for example, though this is possible in various other roms.

This is a problem since the game gripper needs this TAB key to be mapped.

See link and link for more info. Is it possible to get a patch that makes the TAB key mapable?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrianszadura:
But, you can map tab key in emulator.(i have tried snesoid,nesoid,gameboid,gbcoid, gensoid,gearoid psx4droid, and i can map tab button in every emulator) and The emulator shows mapped button as but it works!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrjoeyloke:
virtous

i know you devs work hard and i thank you for that! i do think that in the last two updates this rom has moved backwards... 0.9.0 works great, 9.5 kept freezing and 1.0 is very laggy in returning to the home screen... maybe its just my phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
one of your issues is that your not using smartass properly... smartass has been removed from the 2.x kernels because almost no one uses it properly... it has a built in "screen off" profile, so setting a screen off profile on top of it causes issues... just use on demand, and don't lock down (ie: use 246/599 or 246/691 NOT 246/368) the cpu so much, it needs to be able to scale some 246/368 isn't enough...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Check the previous posting about the Rosie launcher issues, and a patch for that just a few posts above.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
I had that problem too. Once I applied the Rosie patch the redraw problem stopped.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
Locking it down so much hasn't caused any issues as such for me. Plus the issues im facing are still there even without any apps installed.

Ill try what you suggested, lets see it that helps.

@RMK

I applied the patch, There is a significant difference now!!!

Thanks a ton.

Ill update asa i install all my apps again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
With all due respect, this is not correct. Maybe you run an older version of virtuous or an entirely different rom but on a desire z with virtuous 1.0 the tab key shows in emulators as page down and does not function correct in game.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Honestly this ROM gets faster the longer you use it for some reason. I love the ability to have autoscreen rosie! My mt4g using brother is so jealous. But I think I'm going to go back to the 1.72 Rosie only because honestly I don't use it that much. And my homescreen freezes sometimes which gets annoying at times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
Ok another thing i noticed was that there are somewhat more signal dropouts than on CM7.

This is confusing because afaik it is dependent on the phone radio right?

Other than that amazing job Rmk and eVil!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
that's good, but there is a reason for not locking it down so tight... there are many times when your screen is off, that the phone is still doing something, phone calls, listening to music via bluetooth, titanium backup schedule... etc... so maybe you haven't had an issue YET, but that doesn't mean you won't...

the best bet for "slow interface" when everything else seems to work fine, is replacing the launcher with one from 1.72 or earlier... there are a few different versions floating around... some with auto-rotate, some without, some modded (launchkey) some not... see which works best for you =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrianszadura:
I'm using virtuous 1.0 (on desire z) now, and tab button works for me. Do you use the latest version of emulators?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
I did try the one from 0.9.5, and the one from corresponding stock ROM. Still the same results.

Right now im on Conservative @ 998 Mhz Max.

Screen Off @ 245/476 (Conservative).

Will this be fine or should i switch to interactive?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Yes i do have the latest versions. It does not work on either one of the emulators i tried. As you can see in the links the producer of game gripper officially confirmed the problem. What keyboard layout / language do you use?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrianszadura:
GiGi, you mean hardware keyboard settings? If yes, only option that i have is english,

And my language is set to polish.

What kernel do you use?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Maybe it has something to do with the language settings then because that is the only difference. Kernel does not change anything concerning the keyboard layout. I do run the latest advanced kernel. I will change language to polish, just for trying :P

*I just tried setting the language to polish and tried to map the tab key, no luck
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
try either of the "FASTERHOME" launcher's from THIS POST. Let me know which one works best for you.

regarding the screen off governor, I believe interactive is the best because it doesn't do an polling, it just automatically scales when coming out of idle... so in theory it should save more battery when in idle as it won't constantly be checking to see how much cpu is being used...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrianszadura:
GiGi, i think i found solution! I'm 99% sure that you're using stock htc keyboard, try to use other input method. I'm using swype, when i changed my IM to Touch Input

The tab button suddenly stop working. When i go back to swype, everything was ok.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
The FASTERHOME without mod is working wonders!!!

Thank you so much for the help!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
@rmk and eVilD: I was just in the phone and while talking, I was able to surf. I thought this wasn't available yet on TMo. I'm on 3G and do not have WiFi calling installed. Can anyone in Atlanta reproduce or confirm this?

EDIT: Ok, from tmo CS and tmo forum, you can talk and surf as long as you are on 3G or WiFi. This is soooo sweet. Take THAT iPhone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
LOL, the iPhone can talk and surf at the same time, too, if it's on 3G (the Verizon one can't, but the AT&T one can)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
LMFAO fail.

I was thinking the same thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] denich:
After flashing i noticed that sometimes the widgets on homescreen ladinf very slowly after wake, or just after showing the homescreen.

One more issue: press 2 times on "home" and sometimes I see blank screens.

Anyone noticed that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
I know about how AT&t works. I was just asking when did it come to tmobile. I know I wasn't able to do it when I first brought my G2. I just like that this is the last thing my brother can hold over my head with his iPhone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Hm. Weird I installed the faster home and it worked for a while. I installed a theme from htc hub and the autoscreen rotate is back..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
The only time your G2 couldn't surf and talk at the same time is if it's back on EDGE - and your brother's iPhone would be the same way.

EDGE does not support simultaneous voice and data - that's a benefit that 3G brought. Any GSM 3G device can do voice and data at the same time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
Noone has the facebook sync problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
Not facing the issue here.

Are you using the modded FASTERHOME?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IntegraR:
I'm getting a very weird and annoying issue regarding HSPA on my DESIRE Z.

I found that H is not working properly in the same place where it got to work on Stock ROMs.

I'VE READ ABOUT THE FAQ ON THE ISSUE:

Q: I used to see HSDPA (H) connectivity with the stock ROM, where Virtuous shows me 3G in the same area. Why is the data slower?

The stock T-Mobile ROM lies about data rate and displays H even if you are in a 3G-only territory. Virtuous displays H only when you actually have HSPA+ service.

HOWEVER, I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN ANSWER FOR ME. IT IS VERY WEIRD THAT HSPA NETWORK (shown as "3G+" in virtuous 1.0.0) IS TRIGGERED EVERY TIME I MAKE A PHONE CALL. However, I'm not able to start H by opening a browser, etc which triggers a data transfer.

I used to have HSDPA in *#*#info#*#*. now it only has UMTS connection, except during phone calls.

Therefore, it should not be a network problem. Also, when I switch back to stock ROM, the HSPA is working properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sh0rty007:
i still have some wake issues sometimes...

And sometimes i get an error message in my mail saying he can't open it becouse the mail app only supports plain text....????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
for crying out loud people, when are you post, POST SOME INFO when you post an issue... NO ONE CAN HELP YOU, unless you are willing to help us first, by helping us to eliminate some of the guesswork...

PLEASE tell us:

kernel version

cpu control program

specific profiles

AT A MINIMUM!!!

It's very frustrating for us who like to help people, but can't because of a completely useless post... otherwise, please, just refrain from posting all-together... it really is pointless without the info!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Pretty sure I'm not. I made sure to test it after I flashed with the skin I was running at first. Once I downloaded the theme from the htc hub then this happened.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
no offense, but if your brother was "holding that over your head" he is a complete iTool/iDrone... lol... you should smack him for being a douche... unless he is bigger, then just put some ex-lax in his chocolate milk... haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
This is a result from this rom, it now shows 3g+ instead of H when in hspa area, it still differntiates between the two. Don't worry 3g+ is "H" and 3g is just that 3g.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IntegraR:
Thanks for your reply!

But my question is that... I'm not able to get "3G+", but "3G" only...

I used to have H/3G+/whatsoever in my stock rom. I'm sure it's not due to the issue mentioned on FAQ because *#*#4636#*#* in stock rom showed me i'm on a true HSDPA network.

The most strange thing now is that... No matter how much data I'm transfering... the phone wont change to 3G+... But it appears when I'm making a phone call!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Honestly I'm kind of experiencing the same issues with reception. I reach edge A LOT now. Honestly before i never even really seen edge. And I'm mostly getting 3G in my usual 4G areas. Maybe APN issue?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
Ohhh ok I must have misunderstood. Hm that is weird. I have a desire z also and virtuous 1 and have 3g+ everytime except when idle. You could try flashing ROM again without wiping data. Just dalvik and cache. It's worked for me to resolve little quirks like this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Now your an ass for that lol.

And I was able to be on the phone, the web, and download apps directly to my phone. On my Htc Dream. And that's 2 years old you must have terrible reception.

So...

Kernel: Advanced, up to 1516800

cpu program: setcpu

profiles: i use is only one: screen off -> 245 - 368

i have my top speed cpu set on 1305, set on boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
you didn't say what governor, but you need to give the cpu more room to breath in screen off 246-476 AT LEAST. Recommend 246-599 at minimum. conservative or interactive gov. interactive preferred for screen off. on demand for regular profiles...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Big Dawg 23:
Are you having it not refresh? If so, yes I have experienced this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
I'm having it constantly sync every 5 min nonstop even though I set it to never sync and background data off. If I never cancel it manually, it keeps syncing forever.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thedauntlessone:
I've had a couple issues since using this Rom and hope someone can help me out.

Virtuous 1.0

standard kernel using ondemand governor.

Sometimes I have to press the power button 3 times for the screen to come back on. First time screen doesn't turn on, second time, screen flashes on and off, and then the third time the screen will turn on normally. Happens a few times a day. (Symptom: the capacitive buttons are lit when screen is off)

Signal abruptly cuts off. Happened 2 times to me so far. First time it came back in 30 seconds and the second time I had "select network operator automatically." (Symptom: None that I noticed. Could be carrier problem need to confirm)

Last is not a problem but more of a clarification about LED notification. For missed calls and texts, the trackpad LED blinks slowly but for something like new emails the LED on the top blinks. Is this intended? The trackpad interval is too long and not obvious enough for me to glance at my phone for notifications. Is it possible to change all to one method of LED notification? Thanks.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
The first one happens to me as well with standard kernel. Exactly how you describe it, usually once a day.Didn't with stock kernel though.

Second issue, perhaps carrier related, never had that problem. Signal is great.

Finally, use the app LED me know beta from market to customize notifications. Works amazingly well. You can choose what notification lights to use and what speed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
Hmmm....im using the Music Skin and changed in between the Default one and this one twice to test.

But its still the same.

I downloaded the only FASTERHOME zip. No rotation mods o anything.

Though yes i did apply the patch posted by RMK first. Deleted the previous launcher and then applied th FASTERHOME zip.

Yesterday I made a video when I wanted to play it, got ne error message that the video can not be played ...:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sh0rty007:
Thanxx for your reply.

Uhm what does conservative or interactive mean? I mean, what does it so it's better than what i had before: on demand..?

Thnxx again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sh0rty007:
Btw, wauwwww..

I just installed the stock rosie launcher and now i have power widgets at the top of my pull down menu or how do you call it? :p anyway, really happy with it!!

Do you mean the mod via ROM Manager? Or the one made available by "benjamminzIS"?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmaciak:
I would like to express my big thanks to the author(s) of this rom, been using it since 0.9.0 and this last release is top-notch piece of software. Runs very smooth but I have one issue, which is not really an issue of the rom but probably happened because it is ported from another carrier.

I am from Slovakia and my carrier is Orange. In this rom I can not set maximum MMS size to 300KB, minimum listed value is 600KB. My carrier lets me send only 300KB messages. I can still send MMS but if I lets say want to send picture it gets compressed and resized only to fit to 600KB, not 300KB. I know I could set 300KB with previous roms.

Is there any way I could change the maximum size for MMS messages? I travel a lot and send my wife lot of picture messages so this is going to be quite an issue for me. Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ramsfan_Jim:
I am periodically getting a strange - and very frustrating - problem. My DZ will suddenly stop recognising all apps on the SD card. It still recognises the SD card is there (I can use file explorer etc.), but it loses all icons and can't run programs.

Then, seemingly randomly, it will reload sense and all be working fine again.

I don't think it can be an SD issue as it CAN still access the card successfully.

Is this a known issue? Any solutions?

I am using 1.0.0 with standard kernal and Stock Rosie ( loaded from virtuous files) with Wi-Fi calling removed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexandervandam1982:
great great rom

this is a great rom it's fast and i think the batterylife is great. Is it possible to have an add-on in the rommanager or download as an update.zip file to fix the mms problem? I can recieve mms messages but i cannot send them. There is a solution, but it's to difficult. Or is there someone here from holland that can translate this so it would be more simple for me to do that.

Ok, so I downloaded the last version of Virtuous back in January, so I am a bit of a ROM noob.

Does flashing the new ROM wipe my G2? I really don't want to lose a lot of application data. Do you just update through ROM Manager?

Any help, or maybe a link?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexandervandam1982:
you can download a backup manager. Mybackup or something like that. I even think there is a backup option on the rommanager(that you can find in the market)
