[Q] How to fix wifi drops in kernel source? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am experiencing occasional wifi drops when streaming music. Unfortunately, this is a known problem on stock. Some custom kernels (e.g., Franco's) have made some improvements to the kernel to prevent these wifi drops. I know I can use one of those kernels, but I prefer them stock and moreover, I prefer to compile the system myself. However, I cannot find these changes that fix the wifi issue (I browsed through all the developer's github accounts, but can't find it). Could someone point me in the right direction? Which files should be altered? Thanks in advance!!

Franco uses stock WiFi drivers. He didn't tweak/modify them. The WiFi issue has to be fixed by Google. It's been a known issue. Interestingly enough I haven't experience it yet.
Probably you should really ask the developers about it.

Thanks. I know I could ask the developers, but I thought I'd try it here first (so i wouldn't bother them) I read something about fixing the wifi issue in changelogs, so that's why I assumed some developers had tweaked the drivers. But I'll ask them!

Acer HC 3.2 really piss poor

I'm sure I'll hear differing opinions, but I see big show stoppers here. I've gone back to 3.1 already.
I've tried stock, custom, different kernels, and from what I can see it all points to that version of Android, not any particular customizations.
1. Dropped wifi connections - I'm not the only one
2. Something a bit more obscure:
The latest version of the email client does not allow you to set the port for your incoming mail server. While most folks wouldn't care or even notice, this is something that I require and has been an option available on 3.0 and 3.1.
3. Streaming Flash videos seem to just lock up on you at random times.
Realky piss poor job, Acer/Google! Ever hear of Quality Assurance, or are we your testers?

Two things:
1. Seeing that you have gone back to 3.1 indicates that you haven't used the ROM provided by Acer but by one of the developers here. So maybe the problems you are seeing with wifi might not be result of Acer/Google's work. Correct me if I'm wrong but the new recovery can't be downgraded (still).
2. Have you tried to set the port in the name of the server? Like mail.provider.com:25 ? I'm waiting for root for 3.2 before I update because after months of flashing my phone I came to the conclusion that stock is aways the best option when stability is a must. Maybe when Acer discontinues supporting the A500, custom ROMs will be the better option, but surely not now (in the mean time you have to be sure not to flash a unrootable recovery). Having said that, I don't know if setting the port in the server name would work but definitely worth a try.

What does recovery have to do with this?
Before writing my post, I did try a stock 3.2 from Acer. Nothing to do with custom or stock. I started with stock 3.0, just like most people here.
When I saw the port number issue, I went to Acer's servers, downloaded 3.2, and the it was, a missingport number inputbarea. Still there for outgoing servers.
I've been around the block a few times. I'm no newbie when it comes to technology, and I won't brag about what I do for a living.
As soon as you enter mail.somewhere.com:6799 or whatever your favorite port numer is, the Next button becoms greyed out. Just typing the colon after the server name does the trick, you don'even have to go as far as the port number. In the pervios versions of Email, there is an input box for the port number, it's gone missing.
The problem with wifi has been reported by users of 3.2 in general, meaning Asus and other brands as well. I did do some poking around on here on xda.

"My wifi is fine" - I hear that from a lot of people. Mine isn't. Ohters are complaining about this as well. Acer's support claims it's the router. Oh, come on, Acer. I have a couple of routers here, servicing FreeBSD systems, Mac OS X systems, iPhones, whatever a guest to my home might bring over, and gasp - Windows systems. It's not my router(s). And the fact that 3.0 and 3.1 work just fine, custom or stock, throws up a big red flag to me.
Emailing Acer support, or calling them for that matter, is the same as emailing or calling a brick wall.

The fact that you reverted back to 3.1 means you never had stock 3.2, but the buggy 3.2 that was made off the 501 3.2 with its problems.

I can second this: If you'd used 3.2 from Acer, you'd be stuck with it. Right now it locks you in and you can't downgrade. Really douche move from Acer, if you ask me. It's this kind of crap that you would expect from Mac.
As for your wifi issues, it might be a faulty unit like others have said, but I doubt it. I know the radio on mine is rather week (can't go more than 20 feet from the router). The GPS is also weak (only works on sunny days) with a low SNR even then. I suspect these two transmitters are underpowered on mine. I was an early adopter and I noticed that Acer had refurb units out only a few weeks after the initial release. This usually means they had many many returns. This is never a good sign.
The good news is that it is likely not a hardware thing in your case. If it worked better with 3.1, then you know that your transmitter is at least capable of a solid connection. If you don't mind losing root, try the OTA update. Keep in mind this is a one-way trip.
Otherwise, just stick with 3.1 until ICS comes out in a few months. 3.2 really is nothing spectacular; i wouldn't recommend upgrading unless it specifically fixes something you need.
Cheers,

Wifi Issues
As someone who has had the occasional wifi issues and been trying to hunt it down, I can say it almost always has to do with the AP, regardless of whether or not other devices have issues. I have about 8 different APs at my house that I have used to test across a wide variety of manufacturers. The biggest issues I have seen are tied to WPA2-PSK AES/TKIP support, and pre-N support. If the device is set to support both AES and TKIP I have seen issues. Set it to either one, it's fine. N has had major issues as well. Any AP I have tried that is Pre-N gives issues. Anything after the standard has been ratified has not had issue. It's not just A500 that I've noticed this behavior. I have a Moto Defy that acts the same way as well Smartbook. If you crank the support down to G only the issues disappears. Ironically the only device that I have had 0 issues with is my roommates Apple AP........go figure the irony on that.
---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------
Also as far as 3.2 goes.....I've noticed the only people that are getting the 3.2 update are the ones with Gen1 devices. I have a Gen2 and have seen nothing. Maybe there was a slight hardware revision?
I had really some problems after updating the device but after doing a factory reset all problems vanish.
There aren't different hardware gen versions by software update. The use of "gen" in the rom/update name appears to merely be some sort of codeword for acer and acer only.
Check out this post to see the original code lines for 3.1..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16061585&postcount=3
Updated it to reflect the various 3.2 roms that have popped to upgrade from 3.1. I still have not seen one for the US rom line that was up to Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2.
Originally the US rom line was gen1 prior to 3.1.
If anyone was on 4.010.13 and got the update could you please post your software versions?
There is a version of 3.2 posted in the dev section that is the best bet for those wanting to try it out before a userland root exploit is figured out. It's version A500_4.010.41_7.006.01_COM_GEN1. The only thing done to this otherwise stock rom is root, custom recovery (CWM), busybox, and the new bootloader removed. This rom is ready to go and flashable from CWM which means no need to unroot and revert recoveries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265847
We need to have a DEV work on the other codetrain versions that exist to have a similar rom posted for each section of the world.

No, I don't. That's my honest opinion and I stand by my words. The devs here do outstanding job considering they don't have the resources the manufacturers have. But at the end of the day, custom roms just lack proper testing. They do bring more features but if you read carefully what I have written in my post, I said they are inferior in terms of stability not features.
EDIT: If you have gone back to 3.1 you did NOT update with the stock ROM. Period. At best you updated with a near-stock ROM (with removed recovery, added superuser app, busybox and God knows what else) and in the process you should have wiped cache, etc. You are the only one who knows what you have done in the process and that's exactly why manufacturers void warranties on rooted/custom recovery devices. There are many with wifi problems you say, well there are also many that don't have them. The only way we could know if those problems are caused by Acer or by the users is to have someone that had stock unrooted 3.1 working who updated OTA with the stock 3.2 provided by Acer and started having wifi issues. Not someone who flashes every other day something cooked by anyone but Acer.

About WiFi Direct

So since my N7 doesn't have WAN connectivity, I'm trying to play with any/all apps that take advantage of anything wireless. I know there's the standard NFC, BT, WiFi apps, but I recently learned of this new thing called WiFi Direct. Does anyone know of any apps that use this new technology? I came across one which I posted about here, which I thought was really cool so i'm looking for other apps that use this kind of wireless P2P connectivity. Anyone know of anything else besides Tapestry?

Nothing? There's really only one app in the Android world that uses WiFi Direct? Either these guys are onto something or they're screwed!
Wi-Fi Direct is just beginning to get places, it seems. I know it's a feature that Miracast will utilize when it comes out in a few months, and most of "smart"/wifi tvs will be compatible with it.
But who knows?
-Ara
WiFi Direct is already supported in many connected TV's today...its just that CE companies do a poor job productizing it, and advertising it.
if you want to connect from android device to android device for transmitting media, check this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
different from tapstry (that is a presentation app) WiFi Shoot is a direct share app, and works with ICS.
this was developed by yours truly, and I developed it exactly because I noticed there was nothing out there for WiFi Direct
I tested it between Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Asus TF300 and Galaxy SII (stock ICS) and all worked fine.
The most problematic of those were the Galaxy Nexus that not always want to connect, but between N7-GalaxySII was flawless.
At the moment the app just works for photo and video but I'll be expanding more, if you guys fancy helping spreading the word about it, I'm really looking forward to see the downloads explode on it.
Hi guys,
is anyone with interested in beta test my WiFi Direct app?
I started a new thread in the development section asking for Logcats if you're experiencing force close.
Also it's a cut down version of the .apk there to test part of the system.

Why aren't custom rom developers enabling features like miracast, sip dialer?

I think it's great that there are many choices for custom roms, and when I had my nook color I immediately went to cm7 for the obvious benefits. But with my nexus 7, I'm not so sure of the clear benefits of a custom rom.
Again, it's great they do this work and I know there are some features like being able to use custom kernels, over-clocking etc, but I think there are some good features that would really attract other users.
For ex, with miracast, a lot of people were anxious to have that on the nexus 7 but were disappointed that it was only the n4. I thought, cyanogen or some group will enable it in their rom, but so far nothing.
I'm really surpised though that no one seems to know exactly why it wasn't enabled. Like what in the hardware is preventing it? Some have said because the wifi chip is only 2.4 ghz but that doesn't seem confirmed. And if that's the case, then why not on the n10? Then with the n10 some say it's because of the high resolution, but I think res scaling is in the miracast spec. I guess I'm suprised some dev hasn't looked at the code and said, ah this is the reason it wasn't enabled. Like is there proprietary code with the encoder or wifi chip? Or is all of miracast in aosp?
Another example is the n4 not getting multi-user. This is obviously not a hardware limitation but a decision on google's part as tyically a tablet is shared but a phone is not. I don't own an n4, but sometimes people want to borrow your phone and it would be nice to be able to just let them play with your phone without any worry of someone seeing private data.
What I'm getting at is, if it's obvious that the n4 could have multi-user (btw has any custom rom enabled that for the n4?) but it doesn't because google decided as such and it's also obvious the N7 could have the sip dialer, is it the same case with miracast or is it actually a hardware issue?
The other thing I mentioned was the dialer. It's disabled on n7 because it's not a phone, but for a long time now the built-in dialer has had support for sip, and you see mentioning of voip all the time with regards to the N7. cm7 had the dialer enabled on the nook (which wasn't useful because of no mic) so why not on the n7? From what I've read no custom rom enables the dialer. Again, I know the functionality is there, all you need to do is change the dpi to a phone value. So it would sound as simple as taking out that check.
Yes there are lot's of voip alternatives but I want the built-in dialer because I heard it works with bluetooth headsets.
I tend to ramble, but basically getting miracast and sip dialer would be two nice features out of a custom rom, and I could some users of N4 wanting multiuser. I think it's pretty obvious that any n7 could have the sip dialer enabled and any n4 (or other phone) could have multi-user so wondering if it's the same for miracast.
This is the power of open source. The company decided we can't have feature X on device Y so why not enable it if the code is there?
Over 400 views but no replies. Does anyone know?
Really, I don't want to ask other users like myself, I want to ask developers but it sounds like posting something like this in any dev forum is against the rules.

Nexus 7 lacks the correct WiFi hardware for miracast, that's why it didn't come with it enabled and why no one is working on it. There is, however apps in the store for streaming over WiFi.

I'm curious, where did you read that? I've read speculation that it's because it's 2.4 ghz only but no where did I read that was confirmed. And then why not the N10?

Hmm, I googled it extensively, and found many speculating that it's because of 2.4 ghz and other speculating that the N10 didn't have miracast because of it's high resolution. But that's all it was, speculation. Nothing from an official at google as to why, or a rom/android dev who has actually taken a look at the code.
So I'd like to see a link or otherwise to me it's another comment that falls under the speculation column.
And my post wasn't just about miracast, but rather seemingly easy features (well sip and mutli-user for phones) that rom devs could enable but for some reason don't.
Hi guys
You doesn't need any of the patches or 3rd party apps.
You just need to follow these steps in order to use cast screen in custom roms:
1. Just enable wifi 'on'
2.Open cast & it shows all available devices:fingers-crossed:

Static IP makes it connect successfully, but for unknown reason, data only uploads (as indicated by the arrows on the WiFi icon), and no website would load, even when other phones connected to the same WiFi works. Tried multiple IPs to make sure the IP I choose is legal, but still no dice.

Ur welcome .... But As I mentioned the problem was apparently from 20140825 and above (Well for me), so in order to keep my KK BL I went back on a Nightly I had which in my case was 20140729 (Which does not have bugs as I've tested).

Suggestion: try scratching goo.im for previous nightlies and isolate the issue between certain ones. Back in March CM11 had stutter issues on this phone and I successfully traced the issue back to November 2013. Helped solving the issue in 3 days after the discovery.

0825 is when those commits were built, right? Dhacker's commits to fix the WiFi, it involved something in the kernel, or reverting something.

They are trying to fix it, but I don't know if it is on kernel o somewhere else... The only way I could get back to "normal" was using a previous Nightly.

I'll try it... I'm considering to try pacman ROM, they say they had no issues and it's compatible with KK BL

Nougat, Play Store and Data Roaming

So I'm in Europe for a few weeks and have been enjoying T-Mobile's unlimited data roaming while I'm here. I still try to be fair and use wifi for heavier downloads when I have access to it. I was able to update and download apps using just cellular data when I was using Marshmallow. I updated to Nougat and it no longer works. It downloads fine on wifi, and with data roaming off, when I try to download individual apps I get asked if I want to use only wifi as it will use alot of data. With data roaming on, no such question is asked and it just says pending until I connect to wifi.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
Just reporting back. I'm back in the US and apps now download via cellular data again so it's clearly an android nougat "feature." They should give us the option to choose as this can be be a huge inconvenience for many as it was for me.

It's stupid and annoying and they should give us the choice and not make it a default "feature"

Same
Got the same issue and can't find a solution. Anyone has an idea how to change this?
Already tried all standard settings, altering updates on roaming etc.
Not fixed yet. All options tried.
M facing the same issue and there seems to be no solution to this currently
Same here, in different device. Reverted back to MM.
Either Motorola or Google has to take this issue of 'Disabled App Download/Upgrade on Roaming' feature seriously. This is a stupid kind of thing I have ever seen. It should be the decision of end user whether to update or not to update while on roaming. With implementing this irritating feature Android is ruining it's own image. This is one of the 'Dumbest thing' ever happened in software industry.
Totally upset with it. I am facing this issues & have seen many people complaining on different community forums regarding this issue since SEP-2016.
Only God knows when Android Developers will take it seriously. May GOD en-light Google on this !
