[Still not Fixed] PPP disconnection solution

well I think we have a fix for the data drops. I did this steps below that fordfanboi did and I have to say so far no data drops.
I don't know if it was the build.prop or combo of build.prop and apn but i did exactlly as he did execpt that i edited my build.prob from root explorer and I have not had any data drops. I just hope that it works for everybody else just as it did for fordfanboi , me and others here
You may not need to do all this steps for the data drops to stop but since I don't know exactly what solved the problem and I'm afraid to change anything now on my phone to find out because it works so good now , I listed all the steps I did to get it to work.
this are the steps we did:
1.a He used droid explorer to pull my /system/build.prop off onto my windows PC then edited it.
1.b I used root explorer and edited the file right from the phone. Just open the file with text editor right from your phone
Modify your build.prop file to have the correct DNS entries for your provider. I used the following for T-Mobile. I pulled the DNS entries from:
http://www.opengear.com/faq383-Configuring-3G-APNs.html#USA
net.ppp0.dns1=216.155.175.105
net.ppp0.dns2=216.155.175.106
net.dns1=216.155.175.105
net.dns2=216.155.175.106
net.dns3=8.8.4.4
After edit, I used a terminal app to set the /system filesystem to writeable.
su
mount -o remount rw /system
I copied the build.prop file to /system using droid explorer.
I hit airplane mode on then off.
Next, I edited my APN to use the APN listed on that same site.
APN: internet2.voicestream.com
Proxy: 216.155.175.105
MMS Proxy: 216.155.175.105
I also changed that ril wrapper from the other thread
At this point I restarted my phone
EDIT: well after 2 days working flawless I did have some data frezees today ( you know when that uploading arrow gets stuck) and i had to restart my phone. Just hope that the drops will be less then before but they are not gone
EDIT: The data dros are back. I don't know why it worked for 2 days after the fix but now is back to the way it was before. The data is almost unsuble

1) Did you try updating your ril wrapper? It may solve or at least make you be able to recover your data connection without restarting. (mobile data widget off-on)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794309
2) Also try settings wcdma preferred to gsm auto in that secret menu.
3) If you are using 2.15.50 radio, try downgrading back to 2.14.50 radio. (I thought your signature might be old)

1. Well as far as the ril wrapper I think I already have the latest one.
2. As far as settings in the secret menu I tried both gsm auto and wcdma preferred and still data drops.
3. As far as radio yes I did downgrade to 2.14.50 but still the same.

I've noticed the same problem as well and if you'll do the test I'm curious if it's working for you. Since I've been using Android on HD2 I've never been able to see a pass on those checks so maybe there's something to it.
Also if I remember correctly, there are/were some dns addresses hardcoded to the kernel, 8.8.8.8 or similar. Should we replace that? Could a DNS fail be the cause?

WARNING : EDIT YOUR POST TITLE WITH: [Q] PPP disconnection solution : or else u'r gonna be flamed by the mods...
This MAY have to do with system/build.prop configuration...
On my HD2, i've been trying to apply some tweaks, like DNS changing and HSPA boost, but my phone started "turning" the data On and Off without warnings, so...
- Here is my build.prop with everything set to default, this one WORKS for me
(HD2 Froyo Nextsense 2.5, Hastarin 7.6, New Libwrapper)
>Place it in /system/, and don't forget to backup yours

thanks for your help. if you do this test with your phone you don't get a fail on the first 2?

it's a kernel problem on the PPP enabled builds.. nothing on the settings will fix it.. if you want a little (or more) stability, try the RMNET.. the only drawback with RMNET is the upload speed.. which again is a kernel issue..
also, on the ping test posted by the OP.. i don't think that the winmo failing the ping test on ip address and google site has anything to do with the data drop problems.. if it was the other way around, it would still be the same. the instability on the kernel's PPP is the issue.. probably the reason for the failure on the winmo rom is because the data service isn't ready yet when it sends the ping test to google and it's ip address or your winmo rom disconnects data when not in use and then reconnects when you start using it, while on android it doesn't sleep etc, that's why it passed..

Well I don't know as much as you do about this but I figured maybe it help someone fix it. If it does not then a mod can delete my thread. It was worth a shoot. thats how things get figure out i think. I tried to help anyway i can

Ril wrapper, gsm auto and the 2 concrete provider specific dns entries instead of placeholders in build.prop seem to fix the data drop issues completely. Using Froyostone 3.1 with hastarin 7.6 for a whole day without a single necessity to restart mobile internet.

Ive been here for couple of years since the first android phone (G1) and you know how many threads i opened?.......... maybe 2 so i understand your concern but i don't think is the case here but who knows

He meant:
- Open Root Explorer
- Go to system/
- Open with text editor : build.prop
- Go to end of file
- Seek net.ppp0.dns1 and net.ppp0.dns2
- Replace 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 with T-Mobile USA DNS settings
FYI:
- No, I can't have a ping with the secret menu
- Yes, i can have a ping using Terminal Emulator, and pinging the same www.google.com
- Conclusion.....?

Just did and its not that easy to find recent data about TMO. Im gonna try the Level 3 Free DNS service (4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1) I will report back with findings.

Last 2 entries in system/build.prop contain placeholder dns ip adresses. You have to google the dns ip adresses of your provider and replace these placeholders. You can edit build.prop using droid explorer on your pc. With this tool you copy build.prop to your pc, change it and copy it back to your device. After reboot and eventually restart mobile internet one time, your data drops will be completely gone.

Maybe this could be of any help:
OpenDNS free dns server list:
* 208.67.222.222
* 208.67.220.220
I also have the PPP drops, so I replaced the DNS servers in build.prop file myself with these DNS servers. Rebooted and its working.
I hope I can post back at the end of this day because only in that matter of time I can know for sure that the problem of the PPP dropping is solved with this trick
Oh, the 8.8.8.8 and the 8.8.4.4 server are just the Google DNS servers btw (for the people that didn't know that)

to get ur dns provider is easy enough.. boot android rmnet, open terminal and type this :
su
getprop net.dns1
getprop net.dns2
or ask ur friend who use android with the same provider and tell him to type those text in terminal..

Nand wifi problem.Help needed.

Hi.
I tried out the nand version of the android and, it seems that i can not connect to my wifi network.
It does not see my network, it is not listed in the available networks list.
Tried to change the router config, security options,WEP,WPA,WPA2, but still no luck.Tried to connect manually, still no connection.
Tried Cotulla s rom, the cyanogen rom, and the desire hd rom, still the same issue.
If i go back to winmo, wifi works great, android from sd card works great, so i really do not know what the issue is.
Anyone any ideas?
thank you.

Are you restricting access by MAC address, by any chance? At least on gauner's HD build, it's 00:11:22:33:44:55, so not your usual address.
If that's the problem, you can add that address to your router's list of allowed addresses, or perhaps edit /system/etc/calibration as described here.

Checked in the router settings and the MAC filtering is off, so this should not be the issue.
the mac address is what you said 00:11:22:33:44:55.
Any (other) idea?

Hmm... Regional differences in allowed wifi channels? Is your router set to use a channel above 11?
A bit of a long shot, this.

Yes it is 12 or 13 i do not know for sure, but why is it working in winmo and sd android?

Thank you for your help.
It is not working. But...
I flashed the NexusHD2 and it has some option in the advanced wifi menu, called REGULATORY DOMAIN and i can select how many channels to use. I selected 14 and it is working.
So it was like you said, something with the last channels.
Now working great, and the download speed is.... freackin fast.And 205 mb free storage.
So thank you.

Good to hear you got things working. Was actually looking for a similar option on the Desire HD build I'm running, but couldn't find it. If you ever decide to use a different build, you might want to check the Market - I'm sure there are a few apps out there that can make this sort of change.

[Q] Channel 12/13 Support

Hi There,
Has anyone noticed the a500 doesn't support channel 12/13 for UK?
This is proving quite irratating. Does anyone know how to enable this? In previous versions of android the regulatory settings could be controlled from the device settings but i can find no options. Does anyone know?

It looks like it is set for US 1-11channel, i dont know how to change it for europe 1-13channel.

Shouldn't be too hard, my Tegra 2 Gtab supports all 14 channels, you just select 11, 13 or 14(Japan). It doesn't even ask where you are, just offers those three options for the amount of channels.

But you have android 2.2, we have android 3.0.1 and this option in WIFI settings is missing there. How to change it otherway?

Any clue anyone?

Can a European or non-NA member can confirm they access channels 1-13 or 14? I'd be willing to risk flashing that to my A500, worst case I take it in and exchange it.

Android Revolution HD 5.x.x Niewbie <10 Posts Place

Hi Folks,
sorry to post in here, but I've less then 10.
Great thanks and detonation to Mike for his rom.
I flashed from Android Revolution HD 5.1.17 up to 5.2.1.
VPN with module tun.ko in 5.1.17 was ok and working.
But can't in install tun.ko in 5.2.1
" insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed "
As workaround , I flashed instead of original kernel this [KERNEL][June24]-=UNITY V3=-[2.6.35.13] and Android Revolution HD 5.1.17 is fine and doing VPN again.
Looking forward in Mike's Rom

I just about to ask why nifs doesn't work on ARHD 5.2.1.
I'll try that patch.

5.2.1 - issues
I enqueue.. less then 10 posts.
Hi everyone.
First, I'd like to thank everyone in the scene for developing great software!
I wanted to share my a few issues i experienced with 5.2.1 and the recommended radio Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2:
Issues:
Revolution HD 5.2.1
In "settings/Date & time/" I set "Automatic".
If I lost service, the phone changes the time zone automatically to a wrong value (GMT -06:00) instead of GMT -02:00. After the service returned, the time zone remains wrong. I have to enable/disable "Automatic" in settings, to refresh to the correct timezone value.
FYIM:
Currently I'm running a lot "out of service" (heavy weather destroyed some antennas, I guess) other non modified phones are also out of service.
Revolution HD 5.2.1
htc sense "Mail" android default "Battery use" tells me that it requires 20%. I use K-9 and HTC Mail for Exchange ActiveSync. I cannot confirm if it requires more guice than before, perhaps it's just a misleading information from Battery use.
2.3.3 stock rom and Revolution HD 5.1.9 - 5.2.1
After a short phone call htc Dialer uses 40% in "Android Battery use" , only a reboot will fix this issue. Again, I cannot confirm if it requires more guice, perhaps it's also just a misleading information from Battery use. But it's suspicious if a reboot solves it.
Revolution HD 5.1. - 5.2.1
Zooming in camera/video recording is very laggy compared to stock rom.

Same problem for me. There is no workaround. It is not sure if it is a wrong information or it really uses the battery. Use the search, u will find many threads about that. It is not ARHD related.

Well, I guess there aren't many places in 2011 were you could running out of service. Perhaps this issue wasn't discovered by now. Could you post this issue in the main thread, please? Maybe someone else could confirm it might be just an easy fix in the code.

Not sure it is ROM-related, but with ARHD 5.2.2, the new market can't access to Internet through my computer, while everything else can do so (Internet, Mails, ...).

and for me too

tried a few iterations of it. Not bad. But I have moved on to HydrogenMOD

After wi-fi probs with 5.2.2 trying now virtous unity, with sense 3. Great rom, great look, not that great battery life... now waiting for 5.2.3 of ARHD...

When will the RUU 2.52.1010.2 be used?
Or is there no major changes?

Same here

The HTC Sense sync service is deleted from the ROM since 5.2.2, but I want it (it works for me). So how I can get it back ?
EDIT : Now full wiping to install 5.2.3.
EDIT 2 : Solved. Just had to connect to HTC sense via HTC Hub and the service came back.

Try reflashing

try the new room

Had flashed before, really stable ROM. Now trying CoreDroid, battery life seems quite good with blue theme

PPP Widget - easy use of external phone or 3G modem

Update 2015-04-13: PPP Widget 2 now includes support for Android 5.0.x (5.1 not tested)
==================================================================
Update: try PPP Widget 2 (Google Play) if you have driver issues.
==================================================================
I would like to announce a widget that I catered for and tested on the A500. (It should run on other tablets as well, of course.)
It includes everything to connect via phone or 3G modem plugged to the USB host port (usb_modeswitch, pppd and chat).
Edit: New version 0.97 with experimental full network access available.
Edit: New version 0.98 available.
Changes include:
full network access may work on 2.x devices now too
latest usb_modeswitch program and data package included, providing
several new modem configurations
custom config files may be added in "/sdcard/pppwidget/cfg"
improved robustness
Edit: New version 0.99 available.
Changes include:
full network access should work properly on 4.1 devices now
improved robustness on several custom ROMs
Edit: Version 1.00 is now available at Google Play.
Changes include:
No more fixed path to SD card folder
Username and password are no longer mandatory
Translations to German, Portuguese, Dutch and Vietnamese
Additional translations are welcome.
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..

Thanks, JFDee. And don't sweat the limitations. If you stick around I think that you'll forget all about that once you get a few posts in.
I'm checking it out now.
In case anyone else wants to check it out, here's the link.
http://www.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html
I haven't been able to connect it to my AT&T Atrix4g yet. I'm sure it is a config problem on my part. I'll goto to the forum at your site to see what I can figure out.

supurb work.
I can only say , supurb work it works like a charm , installed the widget ,(on my custom RE-FLEXxx rom android 4.0.4), turned wifi off and plugged in my HUAWEI E1552 and did my apn settings (for belguim and my provider = apn = "internet.be") pressed dial and I got connected instantly. So supurb and you can expect a donation m8.
Edit.
Some side info , if I install a application to monitor mobile data use like 3g watchdog the ppp app crashes and I need to reinstall ppp widget.
Not a big problem , just letting you know.

Congratulations
Congratulations for civato who posted the good news for 3g working in the A500 as well as the developer who made possible to run 3g with the iconia A500, finally I can migrate to Flexreaper relix R.4. It works like a charm. Thank you, you are one!!!!!!:good:

I didn't do anything thank the OP , I just confirmed that it works on my custom roms.
Some info for app builder.
Sometimes I need to remove the widget from home screen , go back to Widgets and replace it on my home screen .
If not I get crash message , ppp widget stopped.

I tried lots of tool but finally arrived to easytether pro

I suppose that is one of the problems caused by Android not knowing "officially" about the working PPP connection. I'd really like to find a way of changing that (and make all apps aware of the connection) without changing central system components like "init.rc" ...

Superb APP..Will die for it

I would like to announce a widget that I catered for and tested on the A500.
It includes everything to connect via phone or 3G modem plugged to the USB host port (usb_modeswitch, pppd and chat).
For more information and download see its home page:
www dot draisberghof dot de slash android slash pppwidget dot html
(I really think you are overdoing it a bit with restrictions).
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..

I have been dying for seeing such an app for the last one year. Tried N number of ROMs, but all were a pain only for this.
You have done a great job here.
One Request here to make some small change, if it is not too much bother. Whenever the tab sleeps, the modem disconnects too, which is expected. But if you could add another setting for AUTO RECONNECT MODEM, it will be superb. :good:

I'm not afraid of changing init.rc in ramdisk , so I can build custom kernel for the A 500 and my roms , so what should add in init.rc.
But again really thanks for the so easy in use widget. Is it OK for you if I change the layout for myself , I would like a more transparent look and other icon.

Hmm, that depends. I'd rather have a consistent look for my widget, no matter where; that includes the icon as the central sign.
But maybe I like your alternative design and will use it as the default ...
If you have anything to show (screen shot?) you can PM me.

No problem m8 , will do if I cooked something up.
Edit.
Strange , the moment I change layout the widget won't install but that is not a big deal.
I got other problem, after a while ( when not used) the widget tabs go blank and the moment I insert my dongle it crashes with message , ppp widget stopped.

for the developer: I am reporting a bug that has to do with a constant message that appears each time I insert the usb dongle saying "the application has stopped" and does not allow me to connect the device. The application has crashed several times. When I reboot the system starts working again just for a while. I am using 0.96 latest version. god bless you.
Note: This is not a complain, it is a suggestion for the developer that can help to improve the software.

in my opinion using stop ril-daemon and start ril-daemon will do the trick.

No it won't I tested that.

Wow, very cool!
Don't really need to use my 3G stick since I can tether my phone while on the road but it's nice to have the option.
This was foolproof plug and play, just needed to reboot the tab once for it to recognize the modem (ZTE MF110)

although not developed form my tab, i tried and it appears to not install corretly on the acer a510(rooted). no pppwidget dir is create nor can i find the files under their standard directories, ie usb mode switch. as a result just get an error from pppwidget when i plug in a wireless stick. (sierra wireless 306 and sierra wireless 598usb).

Jfdee,
many thanks for this...I am using stock ICS, just to report - it is bit unstable, keeps disconnecting......
eagerly waiting for a more stable version from you...
