[Q] Interesting I/Wimax errors in logcat - but Wimax is off......

ROM: Fresh 3.1.0.1
KERNEL: netarchy 4.0.1
I have my 4G turned off, and I just happened to be browsing my logcat (using aLogcat) and saw these interesting entries:
I/Wimax ( 332): <DC> Try to establish a connection to DC server.
E/Wimax ( 332): <DC CONNECT> IO error: msg='/127.0.0.1:7771 - Connection refused'
****That occurs multiple times****
Anyone else seen this? Why is it happening?

I have seen that a lot on my phone. I thought it was related to the Damage Control ROM I was running, but I never really researched it too much.

That is normal.

Yeah, it clutters up logcat, but it doesn't cause any battery drain or anything. If you're trying to debug something and those messages are getting in the way just power the phone off with 4g turned off. When it comes back up it won't scroll those messages.
It's sloppy on HTC's part...but it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Yeah - I thought so too - but there are a number of apk's in the \system\app directory that have DC in front of them but I am using Fresh's ROM - so I am not sure why they're there - I don't think he used DamageControl as his base....

Ok..... anyone know why? If it's continuing to keep trying to connect to a server using Wimax - why? and why is it trying to go to 127.0.0.1:7771?

Yeah you're right, the Q&A board is just for asking what peoples favorite colors are, etc.

If you're asking - blue.

The 127.0.0.1 IP address is a local loopback, a lot of linux services, modules run in a local loopback. I wouldn't think this is much but don't know why something that is turned off could be trying to connect to something.
Something else on the phone may be dependent on starting that package/module for some other reason causing it to try to connect.

I am using SwitchPro.... I will remove it and see what happens....

Same thing happens here. To duplicate, all you need to do is enable and disable 4th. And that starts happening.
You can check in by netstat that once you enable 4g, a couple of ports get bound on the localloop interface (127.0.0.1) on that port range.
What I haven't looked st yet, is switch process is staying behind after having the interface disabled.
I'll take a look tomorrow.

Were you ever able to find anything on this? I'm not coming up with anything.

My boss took over my life for the past couple of weeks.. bad, bad boss (at least he paus for the phone and sprint services!!!)
I'll try to find out soon.

so, a quick look at it. the server that binds to port 7771 is:
service sequansd /system/bin/sequansd /etc/wimax/sequansd/sequansd_app.xml
user root
group root inet
socket sequansd_0 dgram 660 root root
disabled
oneshot
I'll look to see who is trying to connect to that service/port...

Looks like someone opened a ticket at Google support forums: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11008
Doubt anyone will fix this unless HTC sees this. Please spread the word to anyone you may know there.

well this tid bit, i assume from init.rc, has helped get me started.
the most interesting sections i saw in /system/etc/wimax/sequansd/sequansd_app.xml -
Code:
<server>
<ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
<port>7771</port>
<maxClients>10</maxClients>
</server>
<debug>
<logfile>/data/wimax/log/sequansd.log</logfile>
<crashLog>/data/wimax/log/crash.log</crashLog>
</debug>
/data/wimax has all sorts of other files, including those sequansd.log files.
in my opinion, they're most interesting comments are:
Code:
sequansd.log: 9:10 45.306 >| DCX/SPY info >| Waiting for connect...
sequansd.log: 9:10 46.400 >| DCX/SPY info >| New connection 0x10E10001 from 127.0.0.1
i'm not sure where all of this is going, but i do find it interesting, 10 max clients on localhost port 7771.
when i turn on 4g, netstat changes and shows two lines with 7771:
Code:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7771 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7771 127.0.0.1:36932 ESTABLISHED
any ideas? worth changing the max client number in the conf file? changing ip address or port?

I've been having 4G issues ever since I flashed Calkulin's 1.7 Rom. I looked into logcat after reading this thread and found that when the 4G is turned on the error is
E/wimax (5978): getPvtPem: No device private key
E/ (5978): Cannot get private key
These are in red. I also see a lot of logs about tethering, but I have not used the wifi tether yet. I also see logs about duplicates coming from the flurry agent

Wimax connects fine but will not load web pages

First let me say i'm sorry that i didn't find information regarding this issue by searching but I cant seem to find information describing the exact problem i'm having.
I have nand unlocked and while i can connect to wimax, i can not load any pages to completion. The browser progress bar moves but will never finish. I'm about ready to do the start over method. I know it worked at some point, but way to many things have changed since i knew it worked. My MAC appears correct when i do the wimax_mtd in terminal emulator. Does anybody have any insight into my particular problem? Thanks for any help...

I am having this same problem on the most recent Fresh. The page loads very quickly but the progress bar never finishes.
This happens only while connected on wimax. FWIW, I'm pulling up to 13mbps downlink.

It's because of the HOSTS file and/or using AdFree, open said program, and switch from use 127.0.0.1 to use BTC IP

Most recent versions of AdFree have removed BTC IP (it was slamming their servers).
You can try 0.0.0.0 for a custom IP and see how that goes.

can you explain more in detail

I'm having the exact same problem and it's driving me crazy. It will get 80% full and just stop. It stops so long that it kicks the browser back to 3g to complete the page since 4g stalls.

[Q] [SOLVED] How to enable wifi and 3g/4g simultaneously?

Hi,
I am setting up a wifi router in my car. I will have a small network of devices. I want to be able to add my Epic 4g to this network and use it as an internet gateway.
I have wifi tether installed and it works wonderfully, however I don't want my car network to depend on the phone as the wifi hotspot. I need the network to function if the phone is not present.
I would essential like to do this: Tethering via WiFi - Troubleshooting.
However, wlan_loader doesn't seem to exist on my phone. I'm running midnight rom 5.1. When I run wifi tether, netcfg shows me that both ppp0 and eth0 are enabled (along with another iface called wl0.1). However, like I said, I don't want my phone to be the hotspot, I want it to be a client to my other hotspot and 3g (or 4g) simultaneously. If wifi tether can enable both interfaces at the same time, how do I do it. Or, can I just use wifi tether to enable both interfaces, and then use some commands to connect eth0 to the hotspot?
On a side note, the wifi router I'm using is a cradlepoint PHS300. I was hoping I might be able to hook it to my phone by USB and get the direct connection working with either the wired tether or wifi tether, but neither work. It seems you must have the legit Sprint wifi hotspot working for it to work that way. The cradlepoint sees the phone as a ppp device when I run wired tether, but it says it's not configured correctly. If anybody knows how to make that work without using the paid sprint hotspot service, that would be a great alternative.
Thanks!
EDIT: SOLVED
------------------
No thanks to Custodian and nullghost, I got it working. k0nane, thanks for being respectful and for moving my post to the correct location.
Back on topic, I don't really care if I can't use 4G and wifi simultaneously, I don't have 4G service in my area any way. My goal is to use my phone as a gateway, and 3G will serve the purpose. I'll take your word that you can't use 4g and wifi simultaneously. Maybe I'll try sometime when I'm in a 4g town just for fun.
I connected to the AP using the built in wifi gui first and got the settings added to my /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf file. My phone has several firmware configs on it. The only one of the 3 that works correctly with wpa is bcm4329_sta.bin.
Here's my scripts that I "developed" :
load script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# need this so getprop and networking stuff to work
export ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE=9,32768
# unload and load the wifi driver module
/system/xbin/killall wpa_supplicant
/sbin/rmmod dhd
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/dhd.ko "firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcm4329_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt dhd_watchdog_ms=200 dhd_poll=1"
/system/bin/wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ieth0 -c/data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
# set ip address
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
# set up iptables so we can use device as a gateway
/system/bin/iptables -F FORWARD
/system/bin/iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.10.0/24 -j ACCEPT
/system/bin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
/system/bin/iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.10.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
/system/xbin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
wifi off script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# need this so getprop and networking stuff to work
export ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE=9,32768
# unload and load the wifi driver module
/system/xbin/killall wpa_supplicant
/sbin/rmmod dhd
I'm using GScript to launch these from the Android GUI.

This is not development. Moved to Q&A.

Questions belong in Question & Answer.
Before you post in Development, ask yourself, "what am I developing?" - not suggesting to develop, not requesting, not asking questions about developing... actually developing.
Now, as far as your question goes... not happening. There's a reason Samsung blocks 4G and WiFi operating at the same time. You can certainly use WiFi Tether with it, but it may reboot your device (there's a very good chance of it).

That one didn't work. Fail, sir, fail.

I thought wifi and 4G wimax used the same radio and that's why you could only use one or the other but not both at the same time.

yeah, I think you won't be able to do it because of them both using the same Ghz.

WiFi Problems... Soultion Needed!

Restart your router/accesspoint.

Cant change Netmask or DNS2
Hello,
Thank you so much for the solution but how do i change the Netmask or DSN2... When i go onto advanced settings there isnt a netmask option but Network prefix length and when i go to add the forward slash to the DNS2 it removes the Save option so cannot change the settings?
Thank again for your help!

I was experiencing issues with apps being able to refresh/load content on Wifi when it would work ok on mobile data.
What I did to fix this on mine was under Settings > WiFi > Advanced
Change Best Wi-Fi Performance to ON
Even though my signal was ok before it was having issues, now it does not. I haven't noticed any huge battery differences (yet)

Thanks
When you say Restart your router/accesspoint do you mean unpluging it for 10 secs or more as i have tried that on many occasions but no luck... any other ideas? Thank you again
Thank you outofmyelement i have turned this on and already working but my battery life will tell if it is ok.. Hopefully there will be an update to fix this which will let my disable this option... Thanks Again!

Yeah. If you've already done it then no need to do it again. Some routers/accesspoints have buggy firmware which means DHCP doesn't hand out IP addresses properly if it has been on for a long period of time.

changing my router's channel width from 40mhz to 20mhz fixed my wifi issues.

Thank you all for solutions you suggested.
I know assigning a fixed IP for my One X on my router would solve the problem.
The problem is, I also connect to my work's router.
And dropouts/slowdowns still exist.
My home router is Cisco LinkSys WAG120N
Anyways, HTC are aware of this bug.
Hopefully a FOTA will release to solve miscellaneous bugs including
WiFi BUg
Battery life (misplaced apk file in stock-rom)
I know people starts having FOTA with software number: 1.27 to replace the 1.26 version.
Hope it rolls soon.
Thank you all again.

Installing ROMs breaks data because I have a static IP with Verizon?

I have had problems installing various ROMs on my Verizon GNex for a while now and it just occured to me that my phone might be somewhat uniques because it has a static ip from verizon. I was on with tech support today and when they took off the static ip and switched it to dhcp, it got the ip and worked fine, but when they put it back on static ip, the phone would not get an ip. They told me to go get another sim card, but the phone works fine if I restore it to locked, unrooted stock.
Basically, after I unlock & root stock and then install a ROM, my 4g data would not work. In settings, IP address is 'unavailable' where before the ROM, my static IP was there.
Anyone else have a static ip with verizon and have any issues or have any ideas why this might be an issue?
Old post about this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935957

My question is, why do you have static IP? For remote connections and such?
Static IP has to be manually set in the phone and changing ROMs is like changing operating systems on a PC, you'll lose network settings in doing so. I think....

This is a work phone and our firewall is set to only allow a specific range of IPs in on port 25 for email. If I could manually set it I would, but I don't see where, I'm pretty sure it's pushed out from Verizon. Right now I have it working on Eclipse, but for whatever reason it just wont work on any others (JBSourcery, PA Android, Xenon, etc.), it's got to be something small/subtle that people just aren't thinking of. And since this isn't a widespread problem, having a static ip from Verizon is the only thing that makes my situation any different.
I just don't know enough about how the phone communicates to verizon to get the connection and static IP. Maybe certain APNs, RIL, etc. I tried making a backup of the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file while the data was working. Then I installed a new ROM and overwrote it's apns-conf.xml and rebooted, but that didn't fix it.

I read somewhere that there is a bug that would make your Mac address change every time you flash a ROM, though that would affect Wi-Fi only but maybe other things too?
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

do you know how verizon is assigning the static IP? is it by ESN/MEID, MAC address or what?

Yeah, but what would various ROMs be doing that could effect that. It works again when I restore a working backup of stock or Eclipse, same sim, so it's got to be software right?
