Can't ping the Aria

First, I'm not sure if this is a phone or CM7 issue. I've been trying to get the app FTPServer working on the phone via WiFi on my LAN. WiFi connections work fine on the phone and all the typical (normal) info about the phone shows up properly in my router stats, IP addy, MAC addy, etc.

After not being able to connect to the FTP server app running on the phone, I started to do some basic testing and found that the Aria won't respond to a simple ping test.

I have 2 Aria's, both running CM7 nighlty 2 and neither will respond to a ping.

I also have a stock 2.1 Captivate on the same network and it responds to a ping properly.

Does anyone else have a problem pinging their CM7 Aria over WiFi on a LAN?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i have no clue but i did make ro.ril.hsdpa.category a higher category but no difference still just plain hsdpa(no plus) speeds im just happy to have speeds that my phone can do and not what the man wants it to do ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i think the workaround is to ping it both ways from aria and from pc to eachother
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Bummer oh well no upload cap. Have you tried increasing hsupa?

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i made both higher categories i meant to say. made hsupa cat. 7 and made hsdpa 10(no difference in speed to stock #) i get around 2800kbps-3412kbps(max) and 800kbps-1335kbps(max) just from today
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
You need to ping your computer from your phone and ping your phone from your computer at the same time. After that you should be able to ping your aria whenever without pinging your computer
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Link to the controversy thread? this is weird...

Just works for a while. You need to constantly ping the computer in order for the "tunnel" not to close. It's a real PIA
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:

Here's where I saw it
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
yeah thats where i seen it also. had all too similar of upload speeds to me, did a lil research and found that out when i compared build.props with the inspire roms, most people were saying it was just the telus kernel but its just that simple number

i noticed somthing was up when i got the same upload speeds as my old iphone 3g(which doesnt support hspa)....asked at&t about it and they "didnt know what i was talking about" so i felt as if i was wrong and thats the uploads we got but i guess i was right the whole time :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thanks everyone. It looks like FTP was a great idea, but not real practical on the Aria. :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Anyone else getting that ugly turn dial answer on incoming phone calls? Anyway to change it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] mikehe:
looks like a bug when i just loaded the latest nightly and in contacts when i try to select a picture from gallery it wont allow me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Just an update on my inability to run FTPServer or ping the CM7 Aria. This problem appears to be a CM issue. I restored a backup of FR008 to the phone and FTP & ping work fine.

:rolleyes:
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Indeed it's just CM related (happens with 6.1 too if I'm not wrong) but havent heard the Mod group to say why this is like it is. Maybe ATTN1 knows why?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
RC and Nightly Builds

I've found that nightly 43 provides the best performance so far.

RC1 had strange call-screen issues and the nightly builds after 43 (which re-started at 1) all have a browser that doesn't quite make it on non-mobile type web sites (like the mirror site with the nightly builds themselves).

Build 43 has a fast browser and no call screen anomalies. It's fast overall, and doesn't seem to have any unanticipated issues.

Great work so far from the development team - the Aria will probably never get the FroYo OTA update, so we're already 2 "versions" ahead of the stock.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Not seeing this on nightly #3

Tested this and works fine for me on nightly #3

Might have found something on this - installed nightly #3 without flashing the adfree fix, and my browsers worked properly. Went back to recovery and flashed the adfree fix, and browsers failed. Re-flashed #3, without adfree, and browsers are working again.

Anyone like to try to duplicate this behavior?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Can overwhelmingly confirm this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
Yea, it is a CM issue. As someone already said, anytime the question is asked it never gets answered - i.e. why it is like that. There is an easy way to get around it but you have to do it everytime you want to use ftp or anything like that.

PC: ping -t your.phones.ip.address

phone terminal: ping your.computers.ip.address

at first, you should see destination host unreachable on your pc, once you start pinging your pc from your phone, you should start getting replies from your phone on your pc. now you can use ftp.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Awesome, thank you. At least we are making progress. I don't have the knowledge required to troubleshoot the issue any further than this I guess. Anyone able to bring any deeper knowledge to bear on this issue? I'm guessing attn1 is kind of tied up working on the inspire for the moment.

Edit: for any of you guys having success with browsers on specific builds (TX, I think you were having success on 43 iirc) are you running adfree with the fix? If so, can you post up a copy of the fix file you are using, perhaps there is more than one floating around, and one works while one doesn't?? Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] LightI3ulb:
I'm still having problems with wifi discovering new networks, even after a complete wipe. I can be at home using the wifi, then leave for school. If I want to connect to the school's AP, I have to disable and reenable wifi. If I don't toggle the wifi, when I get back home, my phone will instantly connect to the AP that it was previously.

AdFree Fix

I have an issue that I'd like a hand addressing. Since updating my hosts today WWF will not work since the overlay ad is being blocked. I found this post but I'm not sure how to accomplish this.

If you'd be so kind as to give me some instructions, I'd be forever grateful. I managed to do it half asleep @ 1AM but can't remember what/how I did it.:o

Tx
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
What exactly is WWF?

If you could, please use root explorer to go into system/etc and copy the host file to your sdcard, then upload it or pastebin the contents of the file. You will have to open it in notepad, notepad++, etc to see the contents. Also, since this is not CM7 specific, if you don't want to clutter the thread - feel free to message me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
Thank you sir, pm sent.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jpope:
Just did this and it worked beautifully. I ended up seeing an increase on both up & down speeds.

[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
http://developer.htc.com/

HTC Aria Froyo source code has been released. Just a heads up. :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Changing the hsxpa=1 to a 2 in the build.prop. i did a speed test and noticed pretty much no difference. Oh, well. It was fun though tinkering with. ok, ok, ok. I take that back. I just rebooted phone and did 3 speed tests and know im getting around 2.65mb down and 1.26 up!!!!

It used to be 2.65mb down and 0.31 up. Definitely an improvement. thanks Drowningchild, you da man! you people rock.

"the only good bug is a dead bug"
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
of course I forgot to do a baseline test before making changes but after I modified the build.prop with that change and a few others I got 2.93Mb down/1.64Mb up. Im in the middle of no where Pahrump, NV right now for work so I'd bet those numbers will go up when I get back home to a metropolitan area in CA.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Googa:
I made the change to build.prop, but don't seem to have found a benefit on my Aria running CM7 RC1.

I'm in Manhattan.

I got 1.74/0.14, 1.84/0.15 before, and

I got 1.41/0.10, 1.88/0.14 after...

and after another reboot and more tests, I got nothing better.

I connected to my computer with USB, and used adb to pull build.prop, edited, and then pushed it back while on the bootloader.

Am I doing it wrong? Maybe it's because I'm using AT&T's over-iPhoned network in New York City?
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
Try again later. I rebooted 2x and waited awhile b/c, like you, I didn't notice any changes. 30 mins. later I am consistently getting the speeds that others are reporting.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Yes, it definitely took a bit for the the hsxpa edit to kick in. Don't know why.

[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:

[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I did more than just the one change. I'll post my modified build.prop in a bit. I modified mine before actually flashing the rom though. If you do a push method you have to reboot your phone at least twice to see the results according to other posts I've read.

EDIT: here's the portion of the build.prop that contains the mods I made:

rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411

ro.ril.def.agps.mode=1

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

wifi.interface=eth0

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=90
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mike's Aria:
I was editing the build.prop to amend hsxpa to 2 and I noticed just a few lines below that there is this ro.sf.lcd_density=160.

I don't know if anyone else uses the LCD Density app or similar to amend screen size like I do. I change mine to 120. When I noticed the above on the build.prop, I decided to change it to 120 to see if it would work the same. It is so much better. The phone boots to that setting, and doesn't change for a reboot. I will certainly change this as well before flashing from now on, and no temporary LCD Density setting for me.

Here is my home-screen as an example:
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
wow, that's a busy home screen! definitely an interesting mod - I may try that. I'd be interested in any ill effects you encounter elsewhere from making that change. what is the impact within applications if any?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mike's Aria:
I forgot to mention that you need to open Spare Parts and disable Compatibility Mode. After that, there are no issues with applications that I'm aware of. I have KeyRing Widget installed and in order for it to function correctly it needs to take up 5 columns instead of four.

I know it looks busy, but I'd rather have the majority of what I use all the time on the home screen and not spread out over 3 or more screens. If you count them up, stock setting has room for 16 icons. I have room for 36 on each screen.

[HTC Aria Android Development] uhhhyeahhh:
i was reading how you could increase your speed and what you need to do but i'm such a n00b that i have no idea how i even go about in doing that lol it's like "is this english?!" :p
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Inside your /system folder there is a file called build.prop (shows up as just build). If you open that up with a text editor you can change certain values. You can use adb to pull it to your computer and edit it and them push it back. Or you can unzip the rom you want flashed and simply modify it and then rezip it and flash it (no need to wipe anything). Just compare your stock values to what I have changed a few posts up and change the values accordingly.

EDIT: If anyone wants the modified build.prop pm me your email.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:

This is the latest nightly btw. To remedy the browser issue w/Adfree, I inserted the hosts file into the zip prior to flashing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
I'm guessing this is just for the cellular data network and not for WiFi...

What were your speed test results? I'm able to get 3.5 Dn and 1.3-5 Up w/ these settings.

ro.ril.def.agps.mode=1

ro.ril.hsxpa=2
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Heres what I understand about these settings:

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 this has something to do with voice/data being used simultaneously over the same radio, which is something att is known for. So I figured it should be enabled and have seen no ill effects

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28 increases download rate cap

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7 increaes upload rate cap

ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411

ro.ril.def.agps.mode=1

ro.ril.hsxpa=2 Enables hsupa setting

ro.ril.gprsclass=12 increases gprs upload and download speeds

wifi.interface=eth0

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=90 this is the scan interval time for wifi in seconds. Stock is something like every 15 seconds, i changed it to 90 for battery savings.

So I flashed nightly 6 and so far so good. GPS works and everything. I liked how they added the battery percent in the top status bar. Also edited build.prop from hsxpa 1 to 2. Sweet stuff.

"the only good bug is a dead bug"
[HTC Aria Android Development] stickbo:
Is there a reason as to why hsupa is disabled in the Rom? Sincere question, not sarcasm.

I noticed my data speeds fell way off after going from liberated to cm, but I honestly thought it was the speed test app or something I did. The fix works awesome! I have changed the values with notepad++ and with astro, both work great. I forgot how fast my data used to be :) . If not for the inspire having issues, i would have gone on with the slow speeds.

*edit* I just looked at the fr008 build prop and notice that it has hsupa enabled. At least now I know im not crazy. :)

I have noticed that you have to reboot a couple times if you do it with astro. Probably has to do with the network handshake or something?

Thanks for the hard work devs. You make this little phone so much fun.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
I'm using task killer because I get better battery life with it. My theory is that even though android will kill the apps, it kills it when it hasn't been used in a while. Everytime before locking my phone I use the task killer because it will kill the apps faster than letting it sit before being killed by the android system (with the small exception of 1-2 apps that reopen). I didn't use task killer for a week, noticing my battery died faster then when I did have it.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Sometimes market apps uninstall (glitch). The only thing you could do I guess is redownload them after you go to settings/application to see if there is any trace. I recommend you go to rom manager and click fix permissions, it will make the rom more stable.

Adfree + fix still breaks the browser in nightly 7.

Be sure to put your hosts file into the rom before flashing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
There's really no reason to delete it completely. Since it was included in the ROM, the app is on the system partition which means deleting it wouldn't free up space for downloaded apps. Avoid installing updates for it though since those will be stored on your data partition. (But you can always revert it if that happens.)

If you simply MUST delete it, you have to do it through the usual adb method.
