I installed this snapshot and was pleased to see the mobile network operator name displayed but as soon as I switch wifi off the mobile network (3g) seems to switch off as well ...

What am I missing? Anything that I can provide that will help to narrow it down.

nothing has changed in terms of that. if it was like that before, it wont be addressed at this current time.

since i cannot test that, isi should be able to investigate that when he gets some free time.

Update. Even though the mobile operator name is displayed there is no 3g functionality. I thought that it was possibly being switched off with wifi but that is not correct - there is just no 3g connectivity. Proved that there is nothing wrong with the sim card or data plan by inserting sim into a stock HTC on 3.2 it works fine.

Question, did you wipe? If not pease do and check back. If you did something not right. Mine is working fine. Post log of radio.

Adb logcat -b radio >> radio.log

Yep, wiped and I am fairly sure that I did everything correctly (apart from having the incorrect recovery image initially).

Here is the log file, hope it helps.

I see a lot of SIM errors in log. Remove sim and reinsert, or try your phone sim, see if it works?

I also had that problem but a reboot fixed it.
Our 10.1v has always been a little finicky with SIM/3G. The SIM card error effecting 3G has always been there to some extent even on HC31 & HC32.

new test:
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p3/

kernel: touchscreen, rtc, display controller (fix charge bug which impacted wakeup of screen), vpn (l2tp only over 3g at this time, pptp no mppe over wifi at this time; your mileage may vary).
rom: current CM

Hi, just found the tablet dead this morning after unplugging it from the charger. I had to hold power to force reboot it. I am runing the latest test build from above

802.1x wireless broken with new releases

Hi all

The 802.1x wireless configuration seems to be broken. It previously worked in builds 7 or so. It does not connect anymore ?

For those that have a problem with their Bluetooth keyboard key mapping, I just tested a program called External Keyboard Helper from the Market and it allows you to set any keyboard layout to your Bluetooth keyboard.

Your kernel date/time in your log shows jan 22. This is not the newest.

Please reflash latest test, then do a adb shell uname -a to ensure you are on it. The date will be sunday morning (4/1), towards 7am, eastern.

So I tried a different SIM card in the Tab - no difference
Tried my SIM card in the HTC Desire, again - works fine
Replaced the SIM card back into the tab - still no luck
Restored the HC3.2 (ISI) ROM and voila - 3g works perfectly.

My conclusion ... must be ICS :(

Pls ensure you are using the right apn, etc. Settings. Many many people are using 3g on ics on this tab/7500/tmobile tab, so it should work for you too.

That is part of the problem, when I navigate to the Acess Point Name (APN) settings option there are no options - a blank form. I don't think that I am missing anything there.

Also when I select "Network operators" it searches for a while and presents "Error while searching for networks". I believe that this can be seen in the log.

I am acutely aware that I seem to be the only one with 3g problems and all that I can think of is that it is related to my operator? But why would 3.2 work fine?

Also interesting is that I can receive sms and send sms - even though I get a report that the sms send failed. Might or might not help ...

Can't you choose options in Taskbar and "add apn" upper right corner.

From what you've written so far, I suggest:
1- Make sure you are using the supplied recovery. <- Very important
2- do a full wipe and install ICS again
3- it's probably a good idea to install the recommended radio as well.

Since everything works in HC, it's not a hw issue. This combined with the blank pages you are getting tells me there's something wrong with the installation.

Recovery. Check. Made this mistake once already
Reinstall with full wipe. Check.
Radio. P7500XXKG7

I haven't yet flashed pershoots snapshot. This time there is no indication whatsoever of the network operator name.

I think that it is something to do with the way the sim card is read and is possibly operator specific otherwise many people would see the same thing? Unfortunately not many 10.1v tabs with ICS in Malta

    I am please to announce an unofficial build of Android 4.04 (CM9), Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for the Galaxy Tablet 10.1v (the forgotten one), GT-P7100.


    PLEASE READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS

    You do this at you own risk. I cannot be held responsible if you brake something.

    This is an alpha build, what does that mean?

    • It is not feature complete.
    • It will contain bugs.
    • It will not have everything working 100%, do not complain about something is not working.

    What is not working:

    • Camera
    • Tether
    • Battery usage data
    • When trying to unlock tablet the touch screen sometimes does not respond. When you press lock (power) it just dims screen. Let the tab go to sleep itself and try it again. Keep doing until it works, it does sometimes take a while to get back, or force hard reboot.
    • Screens flashes to black when you login to tab
    • If you have flashed a 7500 modem to your TAB the signal strength will not work correctly. (working on a fix, I hope)

    What is working:

    • 3g
    • Wifi
    • HQ Youtube video’s
    • Android

    Install instructions:

    • You need root
    • Backup your current tablet via CWM/Recovery
    • Copy files onto your tab.
    • You need to install a new recovery.img via fastboot , you should know how to get into bootloader to do fastboot by now, if not see instructions above for root: fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
    • Reboot into recovery,
    • Wipe/Data reset (very important)
    • Wipe Cache
    • Flash ROM,
    • Flash GAPPS.
    • Reboot
    • Enjoy!
    • Thanks to the flowing people:

    in reference to tether,
    im still working on the needed bits for that to properly happen (hostapd via nl80211). unfortunately as of right now, it will have to be ad-hoc/softap (wext). wireless tether should be able to do this.

    i have a newer wifi module which will be submitted for review this week. this should enhance wifi (throughput, reliability, etc.).

    New version, with 3g Tether fix.

    New Wifi driver thanks to pershoot.

    Enjoy.

    can you all pls test this wifi module:

    turn off wifi
    adb root
    adb remount

    download this: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/kernels/2636/test/p4wifi/ics/bcmdhd.ko

    adb push bcmdhd.ko /system/lib/modules
    turn on wifi

    Thanks for this explanation isimobile.

    So basically we need to look for an ICS camera lib for the Tegra 2 specifically?

    So my investigation leads to the following devices that use a Tegra 250 T20 chipset:
    Acer Iconia Tab A100, A200 and A500, Asus Slider, LG Optimus Pad, Avionic Design Tamonten Processor Board, Exper EasyPad, Notion Ink Adam tablet, Olivetti OliPad 100, Point of View Mobii 10.1, ViewSonic G Tablet, Motorola Xoom, Toshiba AC100, Toshiba Folio 100, ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, Advent Vega, Hannspree Hannspad, Aigo n700, CompuLab Trim-Slice nettop, Dell Streak 7, E-Noa Interpad, Malata Tablet Zpad, MSI 10-inch (250 mm) tablet, Toradex Colibri Tegra 2, Toshiba Thrive tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, T-Mobile G-Slate, Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1, Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet L510, Dell Streak Pro, Zyrex Onepad SP1110, Zyrex Onepad SP1113G, Sony Tablet S

    => The Motorola Xoom is for example in this list and received an ICS upgrade (and more importantly, the back and front camera work on it).

    When I look at the camera specs for this device:
    BACK CAM : 5 MP
    FRONT CAM : 2 MP

    Maybe we could use this camera lib from this ROM? Maybe we could get at least the front camera to work if we're lucky.

    I've extracted this ROM for the Motorola Xoom and taken the lib's for the camera from it.
    I've then replaced the /system/lib/libcamera_client.so, /system/lib/libcameraservice.so, /system/lib/libnvmm_camera.so, /system/lib/hw/camera.goldfish.so, /system/lib/hw/camera.stingray.so with the ones from the Xoom ROM. Is this enough or do I need other files as well?

    When I start the camera it doesn't say that it can't connect to the camera anymore like previously, but the app crashes a little while later. I've attached a logcat for investigation. Someone an idea? We need a kernel modification?

    Here is how I tried to get it working, maybe it will help others as well:

    I took camera.tegra.so which I got from the Nvidia Tegra ventana official libs and pushed it to /system/lib/hw/.

    Then I pushed nvcamera.conf , a text file, to /system/etc/. This file contains the config for the camera.

    Our backcamera is a IMX073 and our front camera is s5k5bbgx. So you just need replace the values inside this file for mapping like below:

    Code:
    # format, cameraName=device,direction,orientation,type
    # type can be 'stereo' for stereo capable, 'mono' for not stereo capable,
    # 'usb' to enable searching for a usb device and where to put it in the list
    #  if found.  Lines must be shorter then 256 characters
    version=1
    camera0=/dev/imx073,back,0,mono
    #camera1=/dev/ov5650,back,0,mono   // 2nd camera for stereo once supported
    camera1=/dev/os5k5bbgx,front,0,mono
    #camera4=/dev/ov5650,back,0,stereo   // virtual stereo device once supported

    I only used the two files.

    The camera then loaded in the log.

    Then if you open the camera app it opens but FC's.

    So then I looked in logs.

    I cannot remember exactly the errors in the logs, but if I remember it was complaining about reading sensors from the camera and then it failed, that is how far I got. I then spend a couple of days trying to figure it out but then gave up.

    What I learned from all this investigation is that libcamera.so from the hc3.01, which we used on the 7500 roms to get camera working, is actually tegra.camera.so that Samsung have recompiled with their specific stuff in for IMX073 camera. Well that is my assumption in any case and one other libnv*_video.so lib, cannot remember which one, contains a reference to the camera IMX073.

    So that is why am saying, this is only my research I could be wrong, is that we need the sourcecode of the nv tegra stuff to get it working, I would be glad if I am wrong but nothing so far has pointed me in any other direction.

    If you look at all the other devices that have the tegra chip in them none of them have a working camera except for those with a leaked ICS rom. Unless it changed in the last month.

    [Edit1]
    About Kernel, the kernel has the drivers compiled in for the camera, so I do not think any kernel work is required, but again I could be wrong. ;)

    Hope all this helps.
