Tethering broken with 3/31/11 update

Crap. The 3/31/11 update broke tethering.

I had to wipe and restore a 3/30 backup and now tethering works again.

From the phone, it "looks like" it works, but it never does anything to the laptop.

Confirmed on 2 different laptops, one with XP, one with Win7.

It is definitely something in the 3/31 COS-DS update. Must be the new kernel in it?

Please take a look... thanks!

NOTE: USB mount still works, though now I have to first do USB Debugging, then I can click on the Mount popup to get it to work. It has been like this for some time on COS-DS, but not always. Just recently, the last 5-10 roms, I think. (for some reason, does not need the USB Debug on to mount on WinXP, but it does on Win Vista and Win 7. Annoying, too!) On all of them, USB Debugging by itself does NOT mount the USB, either... strange!

Also, tried flashing the 2.6.37.3 on top, but that did not fix. I then flashed just the 2.6.35.10 by itself, and still that did not fix it; fix_permissions also did not correct it (and reboots...)... only by wiping and restoring the 3/30 backup did tethering actually work again.

updated from 328 to 331 using Rom Manager super slick... no problems.

I noticed it was a bit slow so I moved a lot of apps from phone to sd and have 10MB free with nothing but Maps and Street View on the phone. Still feels kinda cramped, i may switch to the Normal ROM.. I don't know.

I also installed setcpu and bumped it up to max (think it was 622mhz or something, daughter took the phone after I fixed it all up)

Finally, ran a fix_permissions and a reboot and it all seems very sweet. Just got to be super judicial on keeping apps on sd (anyway to make the sd the default?) and keeping widgets at a minimal and this ROM is bad ass... thanks for all the work!

I just tethered my ipod touch to my G1 and it worked just fine. I'm on the 3/31 update.
[G1 Android Development] djbspliff:
I'm also running 3/31 update and I'm having nothing but problems.

About the only thing that works right is I think data and phone and that's still a pain. Ok so my texts I'm not getting txts at all unless I'm in the msg'n app. Very annoying and missing msgs from all over my emails seem to be working a lil better. But I'm all screwed up. Can someone please guide me on what to do

What are you compcache settings? Do you have a lot of stuff running resident in memory?

I haven't had a problem with stuff dropping out of memory using these performance settings:

26% compcache

Jit OFF

Dithering off

Allow purging of assets on

Lock Home in Memory

Lock Messaging App in memory

I also remove the News and Weather widget when I install new because it tends to stay in memory even if I'm not using it.

That said, I'm having no problems whatsoever with this update. Have no idea if I'm just lucky or what, but I've been on a good streak.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
I also have no problem ;)

I do test the builds.

Who has issues, do a full wipe, let the device fully load up on the first boot. If your errors continue provide a full logcat ( adb shell reboot, adb logcat > log.txt) wait 10 min, stop it and attach it here. Also tell me what device you are using, if you use any task killer.

Multitasking

Okay, so far, I'm not getting the best multitasking on this ROM. I went ahead and created a swap partition late last night, so we'll see how that affects my experience. My main problem is that I've downloaded the daily free apps from the Amazon appstore, and on this ROM those apps don't work because they have a problem connecting to the Amazon appstore.

EDIT: Looks like the swap helps. I'm now able to play Angry Birds Rio! lol... it runs a little slower compared to Froyo...

Gingerbread color icons under Settings

Roalex - any way you can/will incorporate the color icons for Settings?

I first/last saw these in CM6-01132011-NIGHTLY-DS-GingerbreadModid242.zip.

See pic:

Or, can you extract those icons to make a flashable zip?

Those dull whities are just... well, dull! :)

Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Ah, that's the "problem". You are using Apple-anything VOODOO!! ;)

I also had an unfixable problem with the browser force closing repeatedly on the 3/30, and again fix_permissions did not cure it. I had to drop back further to 3/29.

Before I restore anything, I always do all 5 wipes in Amon-RA 1.7.0.

Now I am seriously gun-shy about doing any more "nightlies" for awhile, but not for too long. :)

I still wish I did not have to enable USB Debugging before I click on the mount USB, for it to work in Win7. Works without that in WinXP. Oh well, I have a desktop shortcut...

[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
About the battery thing... actually I remember that I wiped the battery stats when going from CM 6.1 to Yoshi 5.2, but i doubt it was full. Since then I had problems... (yeah, I should have first tried to find out what I was doing...). I have tried to fully charge the phone ever since, wipe the battery again, etc., but I'm still down to 1:15 to 1:45h battery life. It's THAT bad. I wonder how I can get the battery really full, because as far as I understand it it will then think the point where the stats were wiped is full, and when that point is reached it will stop charging. So how do we get past that point, in order to reset the stats? The battery is perhaps 3/4 year old? Perhaps it is just thrashed though... just earlier it had 56°C while charging...

[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I'm a little confused. Which tethering did it break for you? USB tether or Wifi Tether? I originally thought WiFi, until I saw you referencing other USB items, but you're not specific. I'm considering updating, myself.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
My battery has never seen such a temperature. Any time it got hot, I'd open the case and half the time hold it in front of an A/C vent or fan or something, but even without the passive cooling it's never been over 45° C or thereabouts. I'd suspect getting temps like that, the battery itself -- not the electronica controlling the charge rate, but the actual chemical battery itself -- is resisting the charge that the phone is trying to get it to take.

Only thing I can think of is let it discharge 100% to the point the phone won't even go into recovery or fastboot. Then, let it rest for an hour or so. Then charge it overnight WITH THE POWER OFF (a full charge can usually be had in a couple of hours, so overnight with it turned off should do the trick). Then clear the stats from recovery again. If the life is STILL low after that, go to eBay and pick up a twin-pack of 1400 or better mAH batteries for $10. Worked for me.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I did notice something about my phone today -- I had a very very shallow battery drain until I activated bluetooth around 10:30 this morning (full charge at around 6:30 this morning when removed from charger -- I think without a reboot). Once I activated bluetooth, even though I turned it back off, the drain continued at varying rates. Could someone else with similar battery good-sometimes-bad-sometimes issues test this by chance?
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
That would be YOU ESS BEE tether.

The wireless is a neat feature, but considering the thing just sits on my desk at work, no point in missing out on the benefit of the simultaneous USB charging, since the laptop is plugged into the wall.

I've been doing these updates as directed and as long as they have been coming out... but since the 3/30 gave me the permanent force close on the browser (oddly, it didn't occur until AFTER I had fully wiped and did a nandroid restore of my 3/30 backup+ext), and the 3/31 silenced the USB tether, I'll wait for an April update (or one with a lot of new goodies) and try again. :)

In both cases, the fix_permissions found changes, but after reboots I still had no relief.

I am nonetheless pressing on!
[G1 Android Development] Yovecio:
If i want to use swap,what i must do,disable cc and make a swap partitition with recovery or i must use firerat's patch?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
yea you can just disable CC and use FR patch

USB Tether problem with 3/31/11 on Win7

Roalex,

There is a problem with USB tether on Win7 and the 3/31/11 build.

====================================

WHAT I DID TODAY TO REPRODUCE AGAIN:

====================================

Using a 2nd G1 and my SIM, I wiped clean (it had CM6 where USB tether was working), installed 3/31 raw, and no USB tether. (on a side note, the clean install did allow USB mount to work from the mount prompt on the phone, and not have to first enable USB Debugging, but my main concern here is USB tether.)

(FYI - the tether "looks" connected from the phone, but nothing in Win7)

Wiped clean again, installed 3/30/11, and USB tether works.

I then re-flashed 3/31/11 again on top, and USB tether doesn't work again.

(already confirmed on WinXP last night and the 3/31)

Currently, I am running the 3/23/11 build on my primary G1 and USB tether works fine. (that one gives me no issues)

Will you take another look please?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Device ? logcat ? i cant do anything if i dont see something :0
[G1 Android Development] chillywillyhoe:
the COS-DS-02142011 version is unusable for me, once it gets out of set up i eventually get a bunch of force closes, going in to the recovery and fixeing the premissions, the uid, or even re flashing doesnt fix it, and it gets stuck at the boot screen on the second second reboot, going back to rc1 for now
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
check your MD5 checksum there's no reason to have issues like that. If its the right one and it still FC for you, skip the account login on setup and do it after setup its done.
[G1 Android Development] juanicoenfer:
After install i make a factory reset from ck recovery and s2e says me that i have not installed cos-ds

?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
yes, thats how it works atm, it has files on /data once you clear it you lose them(the application should be able to reinstall them though). I suggest to reflash the rom(if it fails to reinstall those files), but if you dont want some of the applications i put there on data just uninstall them.

I guess since SU its on data you can't run S2E after. I will move SU back on system, that way it should be ok to reset defaults.
[G1 Android Development] juanicoenfer:
Sorry, but i cant see how modify swap values. I prefer use swap cause i have a class 6 sd.

Thanks.

Edit: done with swapper 2. I must deactivated compcache, right?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
just take CC off(Settings/COS Settings/performance), then run firerat's script and enable swap, JUST SWAP, don't mess with the other options :)
[G1 Android Development] juanicoenfer:
Done! I'll move my sim from my galaxy s (froyo 2.2.1) to the dream and i'll give you feedback tomorrow.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] xaocon:
JIT

Thanks for the great GB build everyone. I'm curious about why JIT defaults to on in this image. In some old tests i've done JIT caused slow downs overall on my G1. From what I've read it seems this is common for the lower end HW. Has the JIT system been revamped? Did I just not give the cache enough time in my earlier tests? It would be great to hear about other peoples experience with it.

I'd also like to slim down /system a bit. Is all the theme stuff tied to other parts of setting in a way that will cause issues if I remove them? I was going to get rid of Androidian.apk, Cyanbread.apk, ThemeManager.apk, and ThemeChooser.apk.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Yeah JIT does impove things on Android 2.3, ofc you may choose to take it off. About those themes you can take them away as well, might release a slimed version together with the "full".
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
A slimmed down version with only basic apps would be great. There always is the market to download or titanium to restore. According to me, there should be just the following as basic. Other might differ.

1. A good file manager( With Root is better)

2. Titanium Backup

3. ROM Manager

4. SuperUser

5. settings

6. adfree

7. camera

8. Market

9. Music

10.spare parts

11.voice dialer

12.Sound Recorder

13.phone

Along with the above there should be minimal wallpapers and ringtones.

Any additional could be downloaded and installed.

Preference should be for being slick and stable.

Just my opinion.

Note: I flashed 02152011 and had to flash ezterry 2635 kernel to make wifi work. Wifi wouldnt work with builtin kernel.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Well i did add such a File Explorer, one which very unknown for some reason, pretty happy with it myself.

hm seams so, will fix that issue
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
I do like the file explorer you added. I tried finding in the market. I couldnt.
[G1 Android Development] juanicoenfer:
Sorry, but this rom doesn't work fine on my g1. Very slow. I taste other ginger and works fine with the same config. I think i did something wrong, but i install and reinstall the rom and i could not make it work fine.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] strages:
Wow what an incredible rom! Thanks a bunch, i was a bit afraid of installing an other rom then cm on my magic, still i did it and i am very content with it!

Still there are some problems and things that are confusing me.

Problems:

nothing really much, but still:

-home-app wont stay in memory (using launcher pro, have setting enables in appsettings and cos settings)

- the drawer of the notifications is very slow for some reason.

- yesterday the phone kept connected to usb, while it wasnt ( did some file transfer )

Confusing things:

- will my phone work better with jit enabled?

- what do those other settings at cpu speed and so on, will they speed it up, or

is it better to keep everything as it is by default (also things as compcash)

- Furthermore there is the thing with spl and radio...

there are newer radio's and spl's i think for in my case the htc magic/sapphire, Right now i am running cos on my htc magic with nothing changed as when i rooted it with cm 4 i think.

is it preferable to update the spl and radio and then reinstall cos with a clean wipe?

btw i have cm recovery ;)

thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Deselect/select HOME in Ram in the COS settings, for some reason it just shows and not actually works.

The cpu settings are for overclocking so in theory they should speed things up

Jit should also speed things up

The rom finds your spl and flashes what will work on install, for 32b devices the new radio/spl are recommended since you gain 14 Mb of ram(check EzTerry's topic about that)
[G1 Android Development] strages:
thanks a lot, already helps ;) still heard in the past that jit helps for a little while, until the ram wont keep up
[G1 Android Development] xaocon:
Thanks for the response. I'm trying out a couple different settings now. As for my 2 cents on a slimed down version I don't think I would include all the packages listed by our friend. If you are going to do it then drop non-essentials and things that can be downloaded from the market. I would also have dropped rommanager, adfree, and some others from that list. Easy enough to push something out there yourself if you want it.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
I will make a clean which will be really clean. About 70 Mbs /system, but such a version is only good for those who use CMTD's else you just lose 20 MBs of space on /system.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
This is correct. JIT is absolutely worthless on memory-crippled devices like ours. It will only make some selected benchmarks faster but in general use it has value * zero *.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
So many experts in here its hardly room! If you don't like it go make your own, mkay ?

G1.

(RE: "Using a 2nd G1 and my SIM...")

Did you test USB tether on a Mac or Linux only?
[G1 Android Development] kashifsiddique:
After the latest update - the one with new kernels - USB tether stopped working
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
45-50°C is quite normal, esp. with WiFi tethering (as USB tethering was broken on Yoshi). The 56°C was in the car, using it as a sat nav, on a sunny day. The AC was on, but the vent is beneath the phone holder (and I don't see a way to place it in the way of a vent...). Another problem is charging the battery while it is in use. It takes forever or is impossible (when WiFi tethering, even using the original AC adapter). If I turn off the radio or better yet turn off the phone it charges quite fast.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it tonight. Getting the battery that flat isn't a problem. I wanted to get a new battery for a while, but the best price I have found in Malaysia was 35 Euro or so, for a no name battery. It was the only I could find. Will get one as soon as I get to Germany.

Wanted to update today, but the USB tethering issue worries me. With WiFi tethering it is virtually impossible to get the battery full...
[G1 Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Ah... I miss my G1
[G1 Android Development] mjsell2:
must be something in the Vista/Win7 kernel. USB and WiFi tether are both working in linux.
[G1 Android Development] Yovecio:
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
The new version screwed up things really badly. Did an update, now tethering doesnt work. No r does saving files. Or fixing permissions. Performance is also very bad.

Edit: Oh... oops. The recovery ROM failed at creating a backup, creating a 2.6 GB cache image. At this point the memory card was full. Of course that's not good. Now fixing permissions and saving files work. Rest I haven't tested yet, performance seems to be better though.
[G1 Android Development] river-dragon:
Hi, I did as suggested:

- wipe

- full wipe

- flash

- reboot

- adb logcat

I'm attaching two logs: keyboard_android.log shows the error when opening "about phone" with the virtual keyboard disabled (which is annoyingly always enabled on reboot); call_android.log shows the delay when receiving a call. Both situations are logged near the end of the file.

Configuration:

HTC G1 (italian qwerty keyboard)

radio 2825

spl 0013d

rom version 03312011

Let me now if you need any more information. :)

WiFi won't work without SIM card

I upgraded my phone to an HTC Inspire 4G. I'm trying to use my Magic 32A with WiFi network access. The phone keeps connecting/disconnecting and never gets an IP address. I have not tried this with any other rom. Is this a bug or operator error? Help anyone please.

Figured out my install probs for your theme were operator error, ran out of space on /system :o
[G1 Android Development] spicysomtam:
From HTC support specifically for the G1:

The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on

your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone

powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED

is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone

from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger

with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the

notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and

power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off

again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is

green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use

this sequence only once.

Also consider wiping battery stats in your recovery image before

performing above procedure.
