....update

so I flashed the leaked drivers and then immediately flashed the new RIL 2.2.1003G while never exiting clockwork recovery menu. the wifi problem has stopped!! now with the screen off and the wifi policy set to never sleep you get good consistent latency and no request timed out messages. Now im not sure if it was the drivers that fixed it or the RIL (not sure what RIL was included in the leaked zip file) but it worked and everything is running fine.

The only thing I have noticed is that the status icon for wifi always only shows 1 or 2 bars, maybe three sometimes but never full even if i'm right beside the router (wifi analyzer maxes out the signal meter so i know its a very strong signal). Maybe thats a gingervillain bug?

Thank you to whoever posted those links!

for anyone who is having dropped wifi when streaming music please try the leaked drivers or the new RIL to see if that fixes your problem. No more need for wifi keep alive programs.

cheers

oh and my radio is an older 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Can you please post links to exactly these two files? I'll try if it fix my wifi bug :)
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
So the links from pages back are:

http://theliel.es/android/BaseBand/N...ed 2.3.3.zip

http://files.daggeringcats.com//andr..._2.2.1003G.zip

the first is the drivers and the second is the RIL. Like i said before, I flashed them back to back in clockwork recovery before performing a boot so I am not sure which one fixed the problem or if they both did something. Don't forget to back up just in case u need to roll back if something screws up.

Hope they work for you! this issue was very frustrating for me cause I like to listen to shoutcast at home with wifi and before I had to keep the screen on otherwise it would cut out constantly.

Edit: Sorry those links dont work I just copied and pasted them, not sure why they are not linked but if you go to page 782 of the thread and scroll to the bottom you will find the links!

i having a funny issue here, having my Desire to s-off and hboot with cm7 partition.

wipe everything and flash GV rom.... all i got is i stuck @ htc boot logo screen.....

if i flash CM7, its OK! :(
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
@weretiger: GV needs system partition of at least 145MB. Maybe that's the reason why you cannot use CM7 Hboot.

could you please point me to the radio thats recommended with these two files ?

After flashing new ril and drivers my wifi problem is not gone :(

When the Display is off some time and i turn it on again, it seems to be connected to the internet (wifi signal strenght bar is green) but it isn't. I can't access the internet with any app :confused:
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
Well don't know if it matters but I've flashed in this order:

New Drivers

Radio

RIL
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
can you still access the internet using a data connection? I would set up a constant ping to the phone from ur computer when it is connected to wifi to see if it is actually connected to your network when wifi is on.

the radio I am using is 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 when I flashed the drivers and RIL. Now I have read that the drivers for some reason screw up some desires (every phone is different) so maybe try to restore a back up and just try flashing just the RIL or flash an older RIL now over top and maybe that will fix it while keeping the new drivers.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Yep, I think everyone has this issue with some of the custom fonts. I don't use that browser, but I notice it in the app drawer, where the final few letters of some of the longer app names are replaced by squares.

I'm not sure, but I think it's caused by slightly wider characters. Like the characters don't fit in the assigned space. I've not noticed it on smaller fonts, but then I've not used them so much.

Edit - how the hell did I become a "senior member"? Of those 113 posts, at least a hundred were noob questions...
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Hm, strange, i did not have it in previous versions...
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Hm, how can i ping my phone from my PC?

After a few seconds (after turning screen on) the signal strength bar is turning white an green again, and than i can access the internet again.

2. New Drivers and RIL from laked 2.3.3.zip

3. HTC-RIL_2.2.1003.zip
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
wrong place...

take a look at:

menu - Settings - Applications - Development - Stop app via long-press
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
Sorry fot the delay response (at work lol) but from windows shell use

ping -t XXX.XXX.X.XXX (ur device ip address)

the -t makes windows keep sending pings so you dont have to manually. so then you can test with the nscreen on and then off. Also make sure you have wifi settings set to never.

the white/green thing isnt an issue when connecting to the internet because you can still connect if you have white bars. Green bars just mean you are connected to Google Services.

if you notice that you get a lot of messages that say "request timed out" or the milliseconds for the ping is >2000 ms then it did not fix your problem.
[Desire Android Development] vofh:
You need to flash this HTC-RIL_2.2.1003.zip now and it should resolve your issue.
[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
this seems to be working for me. How do I know if the new drivers are installed?

That's up to Richard! ;)

But usually there's an update at the end of the week.
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Did not helped :(

What are the recent changes? Is there something special about the latest commits?
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
Im sorry to hear you still have wifi problems. I know how frustrating it can be!
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
another update

hey guys just wanted to give another update about the wifi issue.

if you have read the last posts I posted that the wifi issue of high latency/request timed out when the screen goes off even though the wifi profile is set to never (making difficult to stream music while the screen is off) was fixed by the leaked drivers and new RIL updates I HAVE NOW FOUND ANOTHER ISSUE although it did fix the latency issue, it seems that if you leave wifi on, the screen off, wifi profile set to never, after an amount of time with the phone in idle (not streaming) the wifi signal will completely shut off.

I tested this by turning wifi on and setting the phone down with the screen off. After about 30 min I sent myself an email and my phone did not receive it after 10 min. Then i decided to ping my phone and got "request timed out" but eventually from pinging it woke up the wifi and then i immediately got my email. not sure 100% what exactly is going on other than i think it shuts off completely then wakes when enough information is sent to the phone. While streaming it works great though.

if others could test that would be appreciated

Would the ROM dev be willing to integrate these into the ROM if possible ?
[Desire Android Development] pezzage:
Back button cancels incoming call

Hi. The ROM is almost perfect except that I still cancel calls while taking the phone out of my pocket and as I just discovered it's the back button that puts the call away. I have disabled all buttons but I cant find the way to disable the back button, the long press option in development settings does not have any effect on this "feature". Please help!
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Only if it's ok for everybody.
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
the thing is though, it might not work too well for everybody, I think Richard shouldnt integrate it into the ROM, so just after we flash we get a fully working and stable ROM, if you want to experiment and test other drivers etc just flash the files, if something goes wrong you're responsible for it not Richard :)
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
Having leaked drivers integrated into the ROM probably isn't ideal as the effects of these sort of things don't seem to be uniform across all devices. Though would be good to have them as a flashable option from VillainSetup? I haven't tried the drivers yet but that RIL is the best I've used.
[Desire Android Development] :
I am not quite sure what's going on with my battery life when screen is off...

My status:

new drivers, new ril and radio and eviollet's svs axi kernel with undervolt vdd levels... This kernel settings I got since the start off this kernel and got in the early versions of gv very good battery life... With wifi,bt,gps on and screen off I got a drain off 3-5mA! Now it's even with old ril, drivers and radio between 8 and 60mA... Really have no idea what the hell is draining that much power:(
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I didnt test it for a whole day as I was getting getting random reboots (my phone rung and as I answered I got reboot, same with outgoing calls), I didn't flash the third, HTC ril, if anyone can point me to that zip... :)

Does anyone have a flashable zip of the stock drivers? Flashed the leaked ones and I'm having a wifi issue where I'm connected to my router but no data is being sent/received. Have tried loads of radio's and ril's and they haven't sorted it so I'm guessing it must be the drivers.

I know my router is fine as my gf's stock desire works fine using it.

Any would be advice gratefully received.

[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
reflash rom without wiping and stock gingervillain ril and drivers will be back
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Thanks i'll give it a try
[Desire Android Development] :
The WiFi Problem is so annoying.. anyone knows wether it is fixed in OS 2.3.4?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The post that first linked the new driver+ril, post 7280, also has a zip for the old drivers & ril if you want to undo without reflashing the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
That's GV 2.0. Didn't work for me on gv 2.1, so I recommended reflashing, that'll surely help
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Tried it and no joy, it connects for a short period then randomly stops working. Wish i'd never flashed those bloody drivers now!!!
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Tried what, drivers or rom?

Just flashed the GV 2.0 drivers lol should be more patient, Thanks :D
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:

I find it strange reflash didn't rewrite drivers...

Theliels any chance you can separate drivers and ril?
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
http://theliel.es/android/BaseBand/New Drivers from laked 2.3.3.zip

Should work fine, but dont tested
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
True, but I did actually use this on 2.1 and it worked for me - though as my problems were with RIL rather than drivers maybe that's not a good test.

But reflashing the ROM should indeed be safer.
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Tried the GV 2.1 drivers and still my wifi connection after about 10 mins won't send/receive data even though it says i'm connected, i don't know what to do :(

(my HSDPA/3G connection works fine though??????)
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
what wifi problem are you having???
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
I flashed the leaked drivers and ever since my wifi will work for about ten mins then no longer send/receive data even though i'm connected to my router, i've flashed loads of radios/rils to try and solve this as well as the GV 2.1 drivers/ril restore zip.

i know my router isn't the issue as my gf's desire works fine on wifi :confused:

Sorry didn't read your post correctly thought it was directed at me :o
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
thats ok, but I have a question for you will it not send or receive with the screen on or off or both??
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Both, however if i turn wifi off then mobile data on and off then wifi back on, it seems to kickstart it and it works again for a few minutes then starts not sending/receiving data again :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
Does anyone have any problems in installing any battery mods via villain setup? I install but after the initial reboot it stays in the S-Off logo for 50mins and I end up having to restore original framework. I have tried all battery mods. Phone is using n1 table and is s-off.
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
well one thing to try is to keep your wifi active, although it does sound like your phone dislikes the drivers. however its weird that its still connected but no send/receiving. Usually if its not doing that its not connected at all.

I saw this on an older xda thread.

download an app called httpmon (its an app for pinging servers)

under requests pick a website of your choice and set ping time to 60 seconds

under actions add ping and add response code but change response code to 200

you dont have to add any notifications if you dont want.

when you connect to your wifi open up the app and start the monitor. it will ping the website you specified every 60 seconds and maybe this will keep your wifi active. the monitor can run in the background and doesn't use any battery really (i ran it over night while connected to wifi and got 1% battery/per hour use, which is normal while my phone is on idle). I use this program to keep my wifi alive now after the screen is off because I noticed a new problem with these drivers (i posted a few pages back about it)

this app also has a log that can be selected when you press menu. in this log you can see if the pings were successful or if there was problems, indicating connection problems. they are also timed stamped.

might be a long shot but why not, try it out.
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Thanks for the advice, i'll give it a go tomorrow as its late now. The drivers situation does seem strange though.

Out of curiosity i flashed oxygen 2.0.3 and leedroid 3.0.4 to see if my wifi would work correctly on those. I had the same probem on oxygen but on leedroids it works perfectly :confused:
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
That is strange, the only thing I can think of is I think leedroids is a sense based rom (no?) so that might be the difference as oxygen is ASOP.

Give that a go tomorrow and post back. also this might be stupid but make sure your wifi policy is set to never (some ppl forget! lol)

cheers

Which radio you're using?
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Just flashed the new radio/ril/drivers combo and try again an Eviollet kernel, didn't work well in the past. I'll come back in a few days to tell you how it worked for me. So far, everything seems to work fine...

Edit: for the moment, all I can tell is that the wifi signal is stronger... Not bad!

Ginger Villain 2.1

Eviollet 1.4 havs cfs axi

[Desire Android Development] kingears:
I've tried 05.17 and 05.08 with GV and it didn't solve the wifi problem. Using 05.17 at the moment.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Have you tried my ril/radio combination? See my sig
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Yep, i've tried allsorts of ril/radio combinations, some lose my carrier signal but the wifi seems to work ok, and the ones that keep my carrier signal seem to break my wifi :confused:

Seems strange that it works on sense based roms and not aosp. Before I flashed the leaked drivers I'd never had any WiFi problems on any aosp roms.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I guess the only thing left is wiping and flashing gv again, if reflashing didn't help.

I had similar issues with the leaked ril, lost carrier immediately after screen off and couldn't get it until reboot. Only rils ending with G work in my desire.
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Have already tried a fresh install of GV and my wifi problem is still there, it's the same on any fresh aosp rom install, thats what i don't understand.
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
The ril that kingears installed ended in a G also if it was the new one posted a few pages back.

I take it that using httpmon did not help you kingears?
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
What kernel are you using with GV? Another thing to try is a different kernel. On android forums there is a thread about wifi drop signal in the root section of the forms. The person ended up using the vork kernel and it fixed their problem.

Go check it out.
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
I've always used eviolets 1.3 HAVS-AXI-CFS without any trouble, until now with these drivers, makes sense it could be a drivers/kernel issue, i'll test some kernels out, good tip :)
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Yep, thats the one, along with every other ril ending in G, no joy with any of them.

Is that the app designed to ping a website and keep wifi alive? if so not tried that yet.
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
Does evoilet kernals work with vpn?
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
Finally got round to giving this a shot, and it seems to have done the trick :)

Is there anyway i can implement this into the rom so i dont have to use the app?
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Just try wifi keep alive from the market, and active the first trick. If it doesn't work, the second is also a ping trick, you can activate it also. This will start at boot

IMEI (SIM) Unlock issue

Hey everyone, firstly I'd like to give a thank you for this awesome ROM to the VR team! I have not seen my Desire fly the way it does after updating it to 2.1.

Now my issue, I was wondering if anyone else came across the issue of where the SIM Unlock code would not stick even though it says on the SIM Unlock screen that "Network Unlock Successful."

Does anyone have any ideas why I would be getting this problem? It says successful but it would not lock on to another provider's network other than the one it is locked on. I am running on Ginger Villain 2.1 of course. Could it have anything to do with updating the Radio? If so, I completely forgot how I go about doing that. If anyone could please be kind enough to post a link so that I can take a look then it would be awesome!
[Desire Android Development] koegs:
Will i have to flash "Leaked Drivers", "Radio" and "RIL" afterwards?
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
If you were using them before then yes as they will be overwritten
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Not the Radio. you only need to flash the leaked drivers and RIL. Tested them for a couple of days and still not convinced it's ok for everybody. Needs more testing.
[Desire Android Development] kingears:
They weren't ok for me, screwed my wifi up bigtime.

Says i'm connected to my router and will send/receive data for a short period then it won't. I know my router is not the problem as my gf's stock desire has no problems using it.

I've reflashed old drivers, ril & radio and still the problem persists.

At the moment the only way i've managed to make it work is by either using httpmon to ping a website to keep it alive or by setting a static ip address.

It's been like this on every AOSP rom ever since i flashed the leaked drivers :(

But i don't have this problem on any of the gingersense roms :confused:

Any ideas???

[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Tried them with 2.2, and they worked slightly better than with 2.1: instead of losing all mobile connections after a minute or two I just lose mobile data when the screen turns off (but it stays lost until I reboot).

As with 2.1, flashing the 2.2.1003G RIL over the top has fixed it.

which leaked drivers and ril?

i'm a little bit confused. had never any problems with 3g or wifi.
