[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblackfish:
After about 6 months using my Incredible, today it's gotten severely slow! I noticed that it was taking 20-30 seconds to bring up my email, delete an email, etc. Then I noticed that the Google Maps update was still running from yesterday. Updates have always been reasonable fast.

I stopped the update and attempted to uninstall Google Maps thinking that I could reinstall it later. The uninstall ran on too and never completed so I stopped that as well. As a test I'm now running a Lookout "security scan" which normally runs about a minute or so. This time it's about 75% done and it's been running for 30 minutes.

What I've done so far is stop apps that I didn't need running and reboot. No change.

My QUESTION is

, is there anyway that I can determine what's eating my processor cycles or any other way to determine what's going on? I'm assuming that's what's making it SO SLOW.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Have you just tried to reboot it? That can usually get the phone back to normal. If it keeps happening is when you want to look into other possible reasons it may be happening.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
I have a rooted incredible and using Warm Z TwoPointTwo and I was using wave launcher and that caused my phone to become useless cuz it was too slow.. so check if there is an application like it... another is launch -X pro can cause that too..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JewRican:
i think that the gingerbread mods for Myns have slowed it down a hair too.. i just did it but i will keep an eye on it.

I really like the look though for sure!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wljohnson05:
Did you install anything before it seemed to get slow? Are you running a stock rom, rooted, etc.? Just would help to know the basics.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Sometimes random apps will do this to my phone. Usually when it does I haven't rebooted my phone in several weeks so I just reboot it to start it out clean and the lag goes away.

If you download watchdog you'll be able to see what's eating up your resources, but I wouldn't suggest you running it 24/7 because it eats up a decent amount of resources on its own.

Latest kernel source you can find here:

http://sauron.pourix.com/UrukDroid/

conntrack/nat brakes compatibility with tiwlan kernel driver - witch is not part of kernel (but can be recompiled).

Anyway - entire wifi stock is a mess .. sadly
[General Questions and Answers] brian_o'fish:
Thanks! What is the build system are you using?

I'm not exactly confident that the one I built from the Archos GPL package, is good.

But it seems to work! I successfully compiled your kernel, with your .config, and run that now. Wifi is working so far, my g_ether usb network connection works, too, and no funny hdmi messages are showing.

Now I'm going to build in some of the stuff I wanted of the networking stuff, and see what breaks wifi exactly. I would _love_ to have conntrack / NAT available.

Update built again with various networking stuff enabled, advanced routing and namespaces among them, but consciously NOT with conntracking. Guess what - tiwlan_drv.ko does not load! When triggered through the UI that results in an apparent complete hang, but when trying insmod from a shell it is benign. All in all that's good - the wlan problems probably don't have anything to do with conntracking, and I have a half way easy test case to start "bisecting" which build option makes it fail. Now if I only had more time today...

Anyway, thanks again Sauron for providing such a good basis for playing!
[General Questions and Answers] brian_o'fish:
After some compile / flash / test cycles I'm pretty convinced that anything which changes the layout / size of struct net_device or struct sk_buff, breaks that binary tiwlan_drv.ko thing - which is probably to be expected...

Some googling around, did not find me any source code to that tiwlan_drv.ko, only loads of people copying it around between various systems in binary form (argh...)

Do you have source for that module available, so I could try and recompile it when the struct layout changes?

Here's a list of config defines that should probably be left alone, gleaned from looking at the struct definitions:

options that change sk_buff:

CONFIG_XFRM=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=n
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER=n (switches on when enabling bridge driver,
but can be switched off separately - bridge
itself builds and module loads)
CONFIG_NET_SCHED=n (so no tc / traffic shaping / queueing)
CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=n
CONFIG_IPV6_NDISC_NODETYPE=n?
CONFIG_MAC80211=n
CONFIG_NET_DMA=n?
CONFIG_NETWORK_SECMARK=n

options that change net_device:

CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y
CONFIG_NET_DSA=n
CONFIG_NETPOLL=n (switched on / needed by netconsole... sigh)
CONFIG_NET_NS=n (would love to have that, lxc could work well then...)
CONFIG_DCB=n
CONFIG_COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS=y
[General Questions and Answers] $aur0n:
You can try with this source

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP35x_Wireless_Connectivity_Release_Notes_beta_3_release

I haven't checked it - so I cant guarantee it will work. But If you could make it work - this would give us NAT on Uruk - so.... ;)
[General Questions and Answers] brian_o'fish:
Thank you! I looked into the stuff a bit, it is certainly the right code set. It's a pretty huge pack overall, packing a kernel and userlevel stuff, even a copy of the iptables source :), but I already located the driver itself...

I'll see that I extract the driver only parts into your kernel tree, somewhere under staging, and get it to build and maybe even work from there.

Will need some time to do that, and I'm rather busy with other work this week - next week maybe.
[General Questions and Answers] brian_o'fish:
tiwlan_drv rebuild - no success so far

Hi $auron,

was able to take some time yesterday and today to work on the tiwlan_drv source code you pointed out. Unfortunately I did not get it to run.

I successfully built a module, inside your kernel tree, by incrementally dumping .c and .h files from the TI code drop into a subdir of drivers/staging/ and finding out which -DEFINES it needs to build, and some small code mangling was also neccessary.

However, the resulting module fails to properly load, first with some GPIO allocation message which I could get around (not present in the .ko file from Archos), and then in a request_irq call during initialization. Looking at that second failure point I notice that the more hardware / board oriented parts of the code look not at all like what objdump can tell me about the Archos binary...

Given my nonexistent ARM assembler skills, I cannot go forward at that point with ease, so I'm trying to chicken out by asking some Archos people for the source... No idea whether that will work...

UPDATE: no reply from Archos so far...

I try to sidestep the issue by moving the problematic elements of skbuff and net_device from the middle of the struct, to the end.
[General Questions and Answers] Golomidov:
Hi!

I see that the topic is quite old - but anyway: are there any news? I am trying to build gen8 kernel with conntrack/nat support but with no luck - the kernel doesn't load, it reboots the device.

Did anybody find the way to compile with that options?
[General Questions and Answers] $aur0n:
In Uruk 1.6 kernel has compiled in conntrack/nat.
[General Questions and Answers] Golomidov:
Yes, but there are other options that are missing in your kernel - targets owner and multiport - and because of that orbot transparent proxy doesn't work

Could you please tell how did you achieve that? I mean how did you compile UD kernel with conntrack/nat support?

(btw, I have changed init and installation scripts in UD for it to work with latest archos devices - a35dm for exmple)

EDIT: did you take/recompile tiwlan_drv.ko? would standard kernel work if I just copy tiwlan_drv.ko from UD?

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Nope, it didn't work
[General Questions and Answers] Golomidov:
$aur0n, could you please share the knowledge how did you manage to compile kernel with tiwlan driver and conntrack features?

Community will appreciate it! Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] $aur0n:
It's all all written somewhere in developers thread of uruk droid.
[General Questions and Answers] Golomidov:
Confirmed! tiwlan has been compiled and tested with nat/conntrack and targets owners and multiport.

Since openaos is down pasting here instruction:

How to build the WLAN source provided by archos

Kernel module released at http://gitorious.org/archos/archos-gpl-gen8/trees/master/hardware/ti/wlan/wl1271

Download the above mentioned sources.

cd .../hardware/ti/wlan/wl1271/platforms/os/linux
Now setup your environment by editing wl_env.bash or do it manually on the commandline in my case it was:

export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/src/gen8/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/usr/bin/arm-linux-
export ARCH=arm
export HOST_PLATFORM=zoom2
export KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/gen8/buildroot/linux/

Then type make and wait a few minutes and you are done. The tiwlan_drv.ko will appear in .../hardware/ti/wlan/wl1271/platforms/os/linux This gives you only the module. I am still looking at how the tiwlan_loader needs to be compiled.

More info can also be found http://omappedia.com/index.php?title=Wilink_Linux&redirect=no

If you use wl_env.bash then don't forget to

# source wl_env.bash

after editing and before make

thanks everybody!

Basically I was looking for an app that would turn my Evo 4g into a webcam..

Thanks..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jrollf:
Just picked up a Sprint TP2. So far I love it (not impressed with WM7, so I stayed with WM 6.5).

My biggest gripe is the Slideout keyboard no longer has Tab and Ctrl buttons (especially Ctrl) like my TP1 did.

Is there a quick Registry change I can make to change the 'Mail' key (just to the right of the FN key) to Tab and the 'SMS/MMS' key to Ctrl?

I can live without the tab, but I use Ctrl quite a bit (Pocket Putty SSH, & for formatting bold/italics/underline in documents, etc.) Yep, I am one of those strange people that uses a smart-phone for work, not for watching YouTube videos.

I would prefer just to do quick registry setting change, but if that is not possible, is there an application out there that will let me do this?

Thanks!

John

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
We all know their network sucks right now, including myself, but Sprint is working on this. They are rolling out what's called "Sprint Vision" (and forgive my lack of technical know-how) basically they are adding some "boxes" with multiple "cards" that can be inserted in them allowing for better/faster coverage in multiple directions that can easily be fixed if one goes down by simply replacing this "card" (something to this degree). The full "vision" has not been rolled out yet and is mainly the cause why the speeds suck right now.
[EVO 4G General] Shushunmire:
Oh God.... This sounds like they're trying to whip up a janky version of a CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System).
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Hopefully it works lol
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
sounds like a band-aid to plug a hole.
[EVO 4G General] Shushunmire:
Hopefully. I would like higher speeds than 400kbps plskthx.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
hell id be happy with that lol im getting 100k or less some times :(
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I read the announcement on this... its actually pretty good. The towers will now only need one refrigerated smaller box to do 4g 3g and 1x(saves energy and space) they will use fiber cables to the top instead of copper for less signal lose. They will need less towers because this one can do all of it.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
What's wrong with this setup? The cable co's use it, and in most instance it works well. The issues occur when there's over saturation - not enough blades to handle the load. Speeds go down, noise goes up, speeds go down more so... Perpetual cycle.

In fact, I recently had an issue with my cable provider where during prime time hours, speeds would drop 25-40% or more. At first look it would appear to be a capacity issue, but in my talks with the head of local operations, that wasn't the case. Plenty of capacity in this area to go around. Turned out during prime time, due to additional load, a failing card/blade (not the one I was connected to) was generating noise, which ultimately was causing my issues. They replaced the offending part, returning my speeds back to 20mbps at all times of the day.

Bottom line, who cares what method they use to increase speeds and bandwidth, so long as it works and is consistent.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Well it makes sense here..whatever it is...they might have it done in my area of Chicago....because a couple weeks ago 3g improved in a major way. Data downloads fast here now.

Didn't Sprint sell off all their towers to TowerCo in 2008, and leases all of them?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
They do lease them. They still get to decide what goes on the towers.
[EVO 4G General] DarkAudit:
They didn't even have any to sell here. IIRC nTelos owns all the towers Sprint uses in WV.

network vision

Network vision's going to do a lot of really cool stuff, from what I understand of it. Currently they've got 3 different technologies running off of three different bands of spectrum (iDEN, CDMA, WiMax. Once they're done, they'll have moved PTT traffic off of iDEN to the CDMA network, and they'll be able to run any of their technologies on any one of their frequencies interchangeably; WiMax, CDMA 1xrtt (with PTT), and CDMA EVDO. The lower frequencies currently used for iDEN will be available to provide greater in building coverage on CDMA and WiMax. And they could even roll out LTE simply by plugging in the LTE base station and antenna to the existing tower. Pretty cool if it all works as planned.
[EVO 4G General] abanh:
Since you posted in another thread that you work for Sprint, do you have any info on this Network Vision build out? Like when is Sprint starting on the project, what areas they will start with, etc.? I'm in Houston so I'm hoping this is one of the first areas they'll start with since it's a major metropolitan area.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
I'm in Chicago, not a suburb. My speeds are still not pleasant. Some days I get 100, some days like today I'm hitting 700. If its consistent with 700 I would be happy. Come on Sprint my brothers t-mobile 4g is amazing without having a battery hit.
[EVO 4G General] acerbusconfig:
Flavor Aid....
[EVO 4G General] hercules rockefeller:
I've got some more info, I actually just watched a pretty cool presentation on it that one of our execs recorded last week. But I'm not sure how much of that is public or not, so I'm going to be pretty cautious about what I share.

Anyhow, it's already started as we speak. I don't know if that means guys are wrenching on towers today or if it's more in the planning stages, but they're not wasting time. There will be major markets rolled out this year, but I'm sure the exact schedule is not something that's public (and I only know of a couple).

As for Houston, I'm with you there - probably more than a third of my customers are in Houston, so the sooner the better if you ask me. I'm excited to start telling my customers about this now, I don't want to wait. But even aside from network vision, we're adding capacity in both backhaul and wireless to the current network as we speak, so the current service shouldn't suffer while you're waiting for network vision. And there's other stuff that's pretty cool as well IMO, but I'm really a bit paranoid about posting it online (it'd be easy enough to track it back to me even if I wasn't posting from work). If I can find some information that's been approved as customer-facing I'll see about posting it.

[EVO 4G General] newbapotamous:
Just did 5 speed tests in my house here in southwest houston on 3g.

average - 1.42 Mbps down // .695 Mbps up with a ping of 155ms

For comparison, i also ran a 5 run 4g speed test in my house at the same spot as the 3g test.

average - 5.02 Mbps down // .94 Mbps up with a ping of 149ms

I would have to say compared to AT&T service i used to have, the 3g is about (-0.12) - (+0.70) Mbps faster/slower while the 4g speed i don't have a comparison for because the 3g speed tests were done from when i had an iPhone 3Gs.

One thing i can say though is this:

dropped calls on sprint = 3

dropped calls on att = over 9,000...literally...ask my wife during our wedding planning

speed reliability with sprint > fluctuations on att

customer service with sprint > att

All in all - I would gladly take a relatively slower network that's more reliable than a shotty network that almost got me divorced before i was married to begin with...

for comparison's sake - the wife and i have consistently averaged 1,275 talk time between the 2 of us talking to each other for the 3 months before the wedding and the 3 months after (when we both jumped to sprint - her from verizon and me from att).

I am in the hospital, wife just had a miscarriage. No worries we are doing ok.

Just thought I post this while sitting here in the er... I will test again in the afternoon to see if its cause most ppl are sleep and not using the network.

Be blessed ppl!!
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Its been noted many times if you run your speednet tests through one of the locations where the main hubs are in sprints network you'll report vastly higher speeds than running the server closest to you.

Example with WiMax if i run the closest to me here in NC in Wilson or even Charlotte i get about 3-4Mbps, but if i run it on Atl. server I get close to 10.

While I completely agree the article doesn't state they are solely using the Nextel band for the new stuff.

"Voice and data capacity is expected to increase significantly as Sprint will be able to fully leverage its industry leading spectrum holdings in 800 MHz, 1.9 GHz, and – through its partnership with Clearwire – 2.5 GHz."

I take that point more as a sign of the new network upgrades "sprint network vision" where they will be able to multiple spectrum bands it uses into single, multimode base stations, and in the process driving 4G expansion, increasing call quality and overall coverage.
