[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] steve austin:
I am using hastrain 7.7 on the phireMOD_SkinnyEVO_v1.6 build. I have been having issues with the build just hanging. I searched recently to see if there was a way to find out what was causing the phone to just freeze. I found an app called OSmonitor that lets you see into what processes are taking up most of your cpu. It is supposed to let you kill the greedy ones.

To make a long story short I found out that smd_tty is taking up lite 85-90% of the cpu on top of the ohter standard processes. This is BEFORE I can even run an app or connect to the internet. its killing my battery and making it virtually impossible to run any other programs. To boot, OSmonitor does not allow me to kill it so I have to start the phone up all over again.

Does anyone know how to get around this? is there a different kernel, a script I can insert or something? If I cold just kill it and have it restart properly I would settle for that but i can't at the moment. I really like the why i have my phone set up but this is getting tiring. Thank you in advance.

LeTama is looking in to it, but there is no fix, other than not using data, yet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] steve austin:
so this is primarily a wrapper issue? i am asking because i am having a high cpu drain/system lock up even if i am not using data. for example, flipping through larhe pic galleries, using an app installer (which populates the apps and takes time to do so) etc... I did not know these processes were dependent on the wrapper. thanks in advance.

I have the exact same problem with all new roms I have tried. The only relatively new rom I found to not suffer from this is Core Droid 0.7.

I tried 0.8 but it had that problem so sticking with 0.7 for now. looks like between 0.7 and 0.8 Core Droid moved from letama's 0.2 to 0.4, so this might be the reason. Would be interesting to try Core Droid 0.8 with letama's 0.2, but I'm not sure how to do that :-)

Anyways, you may want to try Core Droid 0.7. Works really great for me.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ZixacunX:
I was using the stock browser and tried to use the 'select text' option. Then after I highlighted the text the phone gave me a message saying 'copied to clipboard'. How can i access this clipboard or use it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Du22ty:
This is called copying and pasting. You don't access the "clipboard".
[G2 and Desire Z General] cparekh:
Clipboard is just the memory in which an operating system holds something you copy or cut. You access it by choosing paste. This is a term used by all operating systems: Windows, Android, Linux, and, I think, Mac as well, though they might call it something slightly different.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kgold708:
LOL.... before the G2 people used these things called computers to acess the internet and on these computers, which were 50 times the size of a G2, there was a thing called the clipboard......
[G2 and Desire Z General] Okawa:
This is a Clipboard

[Fascinate General] Domush:
I was playing around with this and, beyond changing the GPS settings and the navigation volume, I didn't change anything, just browsing.

Well, my phone rebooted a few times while in the ##DATA# section, even though nothing changed (that I am aware of), and now my phone no longer has 1X data, so my data goes away unless I have 3G.

Does anyone know what I may have changed that broke this? I haven't touched any settings in the main phone, as it happened while I was looking around in the secret menus.

Is there a way to restore all of the settings to default if all else fails? I tried doing the *228 option 1 programming, but to no avail. Still no 1X data.

-------------------

UPDATE: For those reading this thread because you have also lost data connectivity, I have solved my issue.

By a recommendation from the IRC channel, I activated a different phone (any phone will do, even a dumb phone), waited a while (I waited a day, just to be safe, but I don't think any delay is needed), then reactivated my Fascinate again. Once I rebooted after activation, the data was all back to normal again. No issues.

Keep in mind, you MUST do a new activation, not simply a *228 opt 1 while the phone is currently activated, as this does not seem to reactivate the data. It must be a new device activation (coming from a different device)

Hope this helps someone avoid the stress I went through.
[Fascinate General] Domush:
Bump because this sucks.
[Fascinate General] jokerls240:
Need help from devs!

+1 bump!

This is a serious issue as a result of people releasing the "secret codes" with no explanation of what each menu option does.

I, too, am experiencing intermittent data connectivity as a result of tinkering where I shouldn't have been. The OP and I are not holding anyone liable, but just asking for expert help to get our phones back in original working order. I really don't want to call Verizon, risking this becoming an insurance claim which requires a $150 deductable. I could drop Big Red and get an Epic or Evo with that money (contract is up in a couple weeks).

My problem is that the data connection seems to be going into an on-demand state, but when that demand is present, the connection will drop. If I wake the phone (press the power button to turn on the display and unlock), a 3G connection is present. However, if I try to start browsing the web, for example, the connection will drop completely within 1-2 minutes.

I've tried changing the "Set preferred network type" option (found in *#4636*1111# > Phone Information) to every logical option - WCDMA Preferred, CDMA auto (PRL), CDMA only, EvDO only, etc - to no avail. Looking at this menu right now, the preferred network is set to "Unknown". When I toggle the radio on/off from this screen, the "GSM disconnects" active log takes a few minutes to connect, and I see packet traffic. But, again, when I attempt to use that data connection, it will drop completely in short time. I've done everything I can think of, short of a full Odin restore.

Surely XDA has some cellular experts here - maybe even Verizon network techs - that know how to fix this.
[Fascinate General] themobijew:
i disagree with your first line. this is a n issua as a result of people who dont know what they are doing. not because it was leaked. if you dont know how to mess with your phones. dont. and if u do and screw up, dont blame anyone but yourself
[Fascinate General] Domush:
Thanks for the not helpful reply. Argue in your own thread. I need help, not a finger pointing lecture.

Unless you know what caused my issue, you are just as ignorant as I am. The difference being I didn't climb on a soapbox about it.

[Fascinate General] jokerls240:
I'm in the same boat, lowkee. I'm just frustrated because I've posted this issue in 2 different forums and no one tries to help.

Just like you, I only changed the GPS Startup Mode to "cold" and looked around at other things - I touched nothing else. Last time I checked the GPS setting, it was back to "hot".

My intent was not to start a flame war or hijack your post. I was only trying to explain what I troubleshooting I've done in hopes that it may help you and, more importantly, get a response from someone who knows this topic front to back.

The response I got is the reason why my post count is only 2 (now). These days you can't go into any forum without risking backlash or flaming.

Back to the topic at hand - does anyone have any helpful suggestions for the OP? I'm just going to do a stock Odin restore and read up.
[Fascinate General] Domush:
Let me know if that ODIN restore (and which part of it) fixes the issue. I have a suspicion it won't, and if it doesn't, I'm really worried.

Wiping is not an issue; I don't want to have to wipe for no benefit, though. Thanks for being the test subject :)
[Fascinate General] jokerls240:
Ok. So I actually had to use the "force close loop" restoration method, including manual voodoo removal even though it should have been removed before - I never reapplied it. Data is staying up... nope, just dropped again. I'm really starting to hate this phone.

Here we go again... baseband version is the DI01 update, but build number is DH12. :mad: Removing root and going to try OTA update, IF data will stay connected long enough...

That DInc in my desk drawer is starting to look better every day. It's even one of the first batches that had the (AM?)OLED screens AND it has Froyo!
[Fascinate General] jokerls240:
I hate to start typing this, but I believe I've fixed my issue. Here's what I've done so far (in order):

Removed Voodoo lagfix manually.

Wiped System via stock recovery.

Wiped system/cache/Dalvik cache via Clockwork Recovery.

Flashed stock system partition via Odin w/ PIT loaded.

Flashed stock kernel via Odin w/ PIT loaded.

Followed steps from the post "How to Escape the Force Close Loop of Hell" on AndroidCentral forums (sorry, can't post links yet).

Once fresh ROM loaded, installed CWM, fixed permissions & reboot.

Loaded the latest JT stable kernel.

Installed latest JT CleanROM.

And, of course, while I was typing this post, it dropped data connection when browsing the web, but not during the first time setup when Google Sync was processing. Very odd, but I'm now at a point where I feel I can troubleshoot further. Not going to install any unnecessary apps until I get this fixed. The SpeedTest.net app is good to test your connectivity - data immediately drops when I run it.

Also keep in mind that when I say that the data connection drops, I mean the 3G icon itself completely disappears and I get a network error. So back to the drawing board. :confused:
[Fascinate General] zeiroe:
This is what i have had to do to correct 99% of all my issues ... results may vary and I base this off my own personal experiences:

To undo any changes that the hidden menu would have changed, I did a "factory data reset" from within the privacy options. Not from clockwork and not from teh original "-Vol and power". Neither clockwork or stock data and cache wipe clean out dbdata. It has to be done within the system options. Those of you not able to add new gmail accounts and super sekr3t phone code problems need to wipe dbdata via this method. Odin backups only restore kernel, recovery and system. dbdata remains untouched and contains these configurations. Ever wonder why after a clockwork wipe, it still remembers your gps options after you selected english and proceeded to configure? Hope this helps.
[Fascinate General] jokerls240:
I'll give that a shot now, but doesn't the manual method to remove voodoo wipe /dbdata?

BTW, I had to perform the wipes from stock and CWM recovery because the system was stuck in a force close loop.

EDIT: So I did the factory data reset from within the OS and as soon as I try to open the browser, the network connection drops off. Time to call CS for a replacement. :-/

OP: As long as you haven't tinkered with funky ROMs or lag fixes, I bet this will solve your problem. Like you said, a wipe can't hurt anything but convenience. :)
[Fascinate General] zeiroe:
well ... crap ... So much for me posting something useful for once :(
[Fascinate General] jokerls240:
The help doesn't go unappreciated. I've just played with too much experimental stuff, thinking XDA has never let me down. I'm glad you stepped up with a logical suggestion!

Let's just hope this works for the OP.
[Fascinate General] Domush:
Thanks guys for trying so many methods. I have a feeling the unreachable phone firmware is storing this data, which means it may not have a reset at all. Some guy in a cubicle somewhere has a document which shows all of those settings.. we need to kidnap that guy.

Seriously, though, this may require a phone replacement if we cannot get someone to tell us what setting controls 1X enabling and tell us the value it needs to be set at.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this was intentionally done by the factory (or Verizon) to detect tampering. Say, you always have to change X value to Y when entering a certain menu or the configuration goes pear shaped. If I were trying to detect phone hackers, this would be my method of detection/prevention. I'm evil like that >:)

I think its funny that people havent done a FACTORY RESET before posting here. Then they post they don't want to do one because they will lose all their data. Big wow, back it up, do a reset, restore and boom alls good.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
So you really think a factory reset messes with radio settings?

Interesting.

I was talking about a TOTAL reset and reload of EVERYTHING! Including, Radio, Kernel, ROM, etc...
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
How does one do a factory reset of the radio?
[Fascinate General] Domush:
I'd love to know how to reset the radio settings, being that is the point of this whole thread and all. Care to share with the rest of the class?
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
Try a *228? That will reset your PST settings. Option 1 for sure, possibly 2 as well.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Wow you guys are reaching.
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
Using the XDA app, I didn't see (until doing a 'find' now) that it was already tried.

If you can get QPST going, you might look under where some of the modem settings are, to see if you can find something akin to '1X Diversity', (should be enabled) and 'Rev. A' (should be enabled). Some of those hidden menus will pick a default choice (regardless what the setting is ACTUALLY set at) and when you even open up the menu, it's going to choose one (so you'd better know what it SHOULD be).

At this point, it might be worth unrooting, bringing it to Verizon, and letting them figure it out.

'Hidden Menus' aren't there to void your warranty. You'll be fine.
[Fascinate General] jokerls240:
Ok, so after looking at the 2 Android folders on the Tab's SD card, I found nothing of significance in regards to the radio(s). Maybe it was just the many resets and activations I went through that "fixed" the problem.

I do agree that *228, option 1, should restore the radio config, but doing so many things at the same time creates too many variables in my case. When the replacement gets here, I'm done with "beta" tricks/ROMs or hacks not thoroughly tested. At least until we see what Froyo does when it gets here.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
joker,

What you described is a classic example of a missing DMU key. It allows authorization to VZW's data services, and can only be gained back by Verizon pushing it, or, as you did.
[Fascinate General] jokerls240:
This is the first time I've heard of a DMU reset. After a quick Google search, it makes sense. The DMU key is basically the authentication data for a phone's internet connection over the mobile network.

"As I did" is basically move the phone from one plan/line to another forcing the DMU key push. Moving it back to my line would logically resolve the problem. Yet, I'd rather have a clean slate to run CWM and jt's ROMs/kernels on. Keep it clean and ready to unroot easily before any updates, if needed.

Thanks for the info!
[Fascinate General] Domush:

[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
I saw one of the threads say that they did or to do a factory data reset in the privacy menu in setting. That seemed to do the trick for me.

I've sustained 3G and data for a good 5 - 10 minutes now. no drop outs or anything.

So before activating another phone to fix things and to avoid the $15 activation fee when you swap phones.

Try this first.

So i am waiting to have a VPN or through MSFT update hopefully in early Q1 2011, but i figured i started testing what i can and cant do anyways.

So working from the office (ie connected to work network and no need to VPN):

I tried to open an address for our requisition systems that ends in xxxxxxx/relogic/reqlogic.aspx what is interesting is that when the phone is plugged with USB cable(zune sync) it seems to display the page no problem. However when unplugged i get an error that i cant find the page/dns error....

anybody have experienced something similar or or has some inside into this issue?

i believe aspx is .net correct?

Thanks for the help fellas
[Focus General] markgamber:
It sounds to me like you're on an intranet site that's not available to the outside world. When the phone is plugged in it's using the computer's network and it's accessable. When it's not plugged in it's using 3G and with no VPN it's not accessable. The page type has nothing to do with anything.
[Focus General] IIQuickSilverII:
Thanks for the reply.

I actually have no cell service at work as its a remote area. So iNternet service gets picked up from Focus wifi connection...which would mean its connected to the intranet, right?.

I an open the on-site link for web-outlook(off site is a different link) webpage. But it bombs with .aspx link, except when plugged in to PC.

If anybody else experiences something similar, i hope they can post here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twinsis:
Since I migrated to froyo there is small but actually very annoying problem, namely viewing the photo(video) gallery. In eclair pictures were arranged so that the first one was always at the beginning of the gallery, and older ones were arranged to right according to their dates. But in froyo the new photos are send to back(far right) and it's very annoying when you accumulate a lot of pictures because of this order you must scroll all the way to the right to see the new ones.

Is there a solution for this case and if so, what is it?

Please excuse me for my English.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twinsis:
I figure it out that this bug appears only when the pictures are stored on the external (sandisk 16GB, class2) micro cd card. There is no such issue when using the internal card.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exxos77:
When I upgraded my Galaxy S to Froyo (XWJPA), I noticed quite a loss in touch screen sensitivity. I was used to making small "jabs" to switch pages in the launcher, and with the new and improved "sluggish" touchscreen, that was no longer possible: I had to really drag the thing instead of just throwing it.

So I had a look at the Samsung kernel source and found that:

drivers/input/touchscreen/qt602240.c.

To control the touchscreen parameters, just do a "echo XYYY > /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen" where X controls which parameter is affected and YYY is the value:

* sensitivity: X=7 (default 7040)

* minimum duration to register touch: X=8 (default 8002)

* minimum motion: X=11 (default 11003)

* motion filter: X=13 (default 13046)

* maximum multi-touch points: X=14 (default 14005)

So in my case, I used:

cd /sys/class/touch/switch

echo 8000 > set_touchscreen

echo 13008 > set_touchscreen

... and my TouchWiz is flying again!

For a laugh, try "echo 7005 > set_touchscreen". Your touchscreen is now so sensitive that it registers "touch" events from as much as 3 millimeters away. It *may* go a little crazy, though ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] runagate:
I don't know if this'll be of any help, but the AT42QT602240 is the capacitive touchscreen sensors from Quantum, bought by Atmel in 2008, and used in their maxTouch (formerly Qtouch) multi-touch gizmos:

Atmel mXT224 (AT42QT602240)
