ICS test firmware tackling Wi-Fi and HDMI issues
- Thread starter courville
- Start date
after updating from honeycomb to 4.0.5 and now to 4.0.6 test2 i´ve noticed that
google talk video chat quits the video chat after 20 seconds.
furthermore i´ve bad sound problems during video chat because the speaker sends
the sound back through the mic, thats annoying.
are these both firmware based bugs? google talk video chat was stable on honeycomb!
on 4.0.6 test2 firmware there is no button in settings for configuring the archos remote! i hope this is easy to fix, thanks

So I rolled back to Honeycomb
Problems I had on ICS:
-system freezes when reading a pdf for all tested readers, additionaly for Adobe Reader about 1/8 of screen is flickering almost always (sometimes on bottom, sometimes on top of LCD)
-device gets quite hot (hardly touchable) when there is a minimal system load eg. unlocked desktop
-some ICS compatible 3d games have graphical glitches or FC's, sometimes touchscreen stops responding but for the game only (onscreen system buttons work fine)

Wifi connection problem is not relevant any more. Yesterday I decided to test built in alarm clock. It woke me up but 5 minutes after when I took the device the screen was white as snow. reboot didn't help. I finally noticed that it wasn't just white — it was working but like completely faded. And reaction on touches was slow as if it is -20 C. Tried to roll back to 328, 405 and back to test 406. Nothing changes. Seems to be a hardware problem. Returning it back to the seller when i'm back from vacation would solve the problem completely.
Please note that the final 4.0.6 firmware has been released. It contains one more Wi-Fi fix that will hopefully solves more disconnection problems faced with some access points. Please share your experience with this new firmware if 4.0.6-TEST2 was not working for you. Thank you for your help and patience.
HI !
Thank you very much !!! Please ..can you update gitorious/kernel - ics source cod for this release ?
Hi, thanks for the patch, however I still have problems with the tablet freezing and rebooting. It's not always reproducible but it happens pretty often while viewing (heavy?) pdf files in adobe reader (this one has caused more than 5 crashes: http://db.tt/esmwb3S9) or when viewing xda developers in desktop mode with opera mobile.
Edit: here is /proc/last_kmsg from one such crash on 4.0.6 (opera mobile on xda developers) : http://pastebin.com/2CEmtPWY

For me all pdf readers caused system hang on 4.0.5 (reset as the only option) but Adobe Reader also had probles with rendering- about 1/8 of screen flickering (fragment of current page <->fragment of next/previous page).
That's why I stick to 3.2.80
Oftopic: quantum gates you say? Wouldn't you be rather reading about Shroedinger's cat?
HI !
Unfortunately (for me) this update 4.0.6 is the first update ( since 3.2.69) in the tablet is closed only ! No FC , screen just freezes and stops responding - and reboots in a few seconds !!!
Problem is that until now ( with old firmware ) I never had even a fc' !

I have exactly this behavior and additionally by browsing on internet with the default android web browser, it just closes randomly and rapidly.
I tried to change my wireless settings AES OR TKIP with WPA2-PSK, it's the same behavior. My router is a DLINK DSL-2760U Wireless N ADSL2+
My last_kmsg file with surdu_petru rooted version http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31745142/last_kmsg
I have to note that I had this exactly behavior with the official Archos rom 4.0.6 non rooted and without SDE.
Hi, the 4.0.6 firmware didnt solve my Wi-Fi issues. It stil loops on obtaining IP.
I have hidden SSID - bud i tried also when SSID is not hidden.. this time it worked for first connection but then after reset no more conection.
I'm using ovislink wl5460ap v2 router. Is there any list of known working routers(APs)?
Edit: one more thought, maybe the delay (time) it waits for obtaining IP is too low - had any one considered this possibility?

On my 101 All seems okay on 4.06 apart from wifi not waking up after the device has been inactive for a few minutes. (Rooted stock Rom).
My wifes 101, that freezes for no reason, usually when using internet, are there any logs that show what caused a freeze? (Her 101 is unrooted). Again her 101 does not wake the wifi after sleep.

12Please check the following firmware and report in this thread if it solves your Wi-Fi or HDMI issues.
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_4.0.4-TEST/firmware_archos_it4.aos
There might be still some audio out problems with HDMI with OMAP4430 ES2.2 based platforms (check in settings->about tablet->OMAP version): we are still working on it and will come up with a solution shortly.
Thank you for your help/feedback and patience.6Here we go again: for those still experiencing issues with Wi-Fi we have a new test firmware that consists in a major upgrade for your evaluation:
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_4.0.6-TEST4/firmware_archos_it4.aos
Please note that this firmware also includes i) skype audio fix, ii) SGX performance boost, iii) some more CPU scheduler stability patches.
If this is not the ultimate solution, it would be great to generate logs of the failures by installing/running the following applications after witnessing a problem:
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/debug/LogExtractor.apk
that will generate a zip of the logs at the root of your tablet and post the result.
Thank you for your help and patience.6All: thank you very much for your testing and reports.
I see that we are making progress but there are still some issues left.
