Wonk Fix Donations - Nexus One General

I thought I would post a thread listing the Paypal address for those who would like to donate to the developer who helped bring about a fix for the dreaded wonk.
I think this guy deserves a couple bucks thrown his way by most of us who use and enjoy ASOP based firmwares.
The last couple of cyanogenmod nightlies have had ZERO wonk.
Lets keep in mind that this issue was starred with Google a couple of times and we couldnt get Google to even recognize that a problem exists!
The problem was so bad that cyanogen was releasing roms marked as stable that still had the wonk because it was an ASOP bug...
Anyway, send this dude a couple of bucks if you can. All of us running a N1 with ASOP based firmwares are benefiting from the wonk fix.
His paypal address is: [email protected]
Thanks!

Ok, I just sent the guy $10 USD. Its not much but every little bit helps.

Umm what?
Google acknowledged the issue and even fixed it, which is probably why it is working in CM roms now.

Dunno if the email is the right guy, but it was fixed independently of asop.

Two different forms of wonk ..
One is the call delay bug
The other is the black screen bug
I "think" he found the issue for the call delay
Not sure about status of black screen bug
Google said the delay bug was not across all devices and only specific to Nexus so they closed the report. Last time i heard about it
Again i might have my bugs mixed up but ehhh

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080147
This is the thread where you can see the results of the guys work. All I know for sure is that for several iterations of Cyanogenmod there was a "call delay". People would call me and not be able to hear me for several seconds. Very annoying bug. I resorted to using a CM Froyo build for a while and then a rooted OTA build of Gingerbread. It was acknowledged as an ASOP bug but wasnt present in the OTA builds of Gingerbread. This guy took the time and tracked the issue down and repaired it with a simple patch.
@Devastatin: The email is the right developer if you follow the above link you can see the name of the guy who I contacted via PM.
@GldRush98: You may have never seen this bug because I remember you commenting in a thread where you stated you only used OTA builds and not "janky custom builds like Cyanogenmod" which I am sure ruffled a few feathers.
But regardless it was a very real problem and there were a couple of threads in which people were asked to "star the issue" on Google forums. The first starred thread was closed, Google said it was hardware specific on the N1 and didnt address it. I dont know what happened with the second thread.
If you guys dont want to donate to the guy, nobody is forcing you. I just felt like the guy deserved some props for fixing an issue that noone else was addressing.
-D

I'm not actively soliciting donations, but if anyone wants to donate to me, I appreciate it. I just thought I'd post here to confirm my identity.
My changes to cyanogenmod are listed here:
http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#dashboard,1030
The a1026 suspend commit deals with the wonk, the call delay commit is obvious. If you click any of the commits, you'll see my email address there, as well.

The other fixes were for a CM related issue due to merging of 2.3.3 with 2.3.4 which broke receiving MMS from certain other phones. All bugs were a major source of complaints on both the xda nightly thread (along with Fitsnugly's Gigglebread build) and the CM nightly thread with who knows how many countless other threads in both forums.
And AFAIK, google has not fixed the call-delay bug (the wonk didn't exist on the stock ROM) from everything I have read. It still existed on various 2.3.4 builds that I tested.
jyxent fixed some of the major bugs that were plauging N1 users (and who knows how much sleep cyanogen lost due to the wonk). If I can come up with some money on this next paycheck, he will be getting some... Until then, I will just sing his praises

Gonna give this thread a final bump in the hope that the N1 users out there will show this guy some love.
I realize fixing broken code and releasing it to the community is in the spirit of open source software but every once in a while I like to give credit where credit is due. My N1 is perfect (again)!!

I'm on CM7.0.3 and am still having to use dewonkificator because of phone delays. Is this for real or is someone trying to get some free $$?

It's for real, and also seems to have side effect of greatly increasing battery life as well. Bit the fix is only in the nightlies which is why you don't have it.

You could apply the fix to the stable firmware. The dewonkificator was just a band-aid as this actually corrects the bug.
And the guys not trying to make any money off the code, it's freely available. I just think he deserves a few bucks for fixing a huge problem with our phones.

I believe that this was truly fixed for most devices and the developer who solved it deserves the credit for it, but I'm sorry to say that I'm also still experiencing that call delay occasionally on my N1 running CM 7.0.3...
Edit: just after posting I saw the comment that this is only available on the nightly builds... thought this was already included in 7.0.3. Anyone has a clue on when it will be included on the stable versions ?

I would think it would be included in 7.1 (or the next stable release (candidate) but I'm most likely wrong.
Oh, and the call delay exists in stock OTA builds. My husband has an N1 that is completely stock and not rooted, He has the call delay bug.
I didn't write that. Prove it!!!

this patch can be applied to another ROM like stock GB 2.3.4?

I'll wait for the next stable CM
If the next stable CM has fixed the call delay, wonk, and has better battery life you can be sure I'll be sending out some donations! I flamed on the google thread about this issue; it was clearly an AOSP bug because I experienced it on CM *and* vanilla AOSP. I'm looking forward to the upgrade back to gingerbread but until CM drops another stable I'll be rocking Froyo

This problem is completely fixed in the latest nightly builds. You can apply the fix to the 7.03 build by pushing over the fixed libaudio.so file. Step by step directions are available here if you are uncomfortable using adb, search the forum. I attached the corrected file to this post. The fix was made by jyxent and he deserves the credit for fixing this problem.

Just so everyone is clear...the call delay bug is not just AOSP. I had it right from the get go in OTA 2.3.3 and it continued to 2.3.4. I am now using an AOSP build and don't have it . I may have the MMS bug though as I can't receive certain MMS pics from certain phones/carriers. Have not narrowed down the exact issue yet.

aospGBMod v0.1.2 | AOSP 2.3.1 (Gingerbread) lounge for talking about this ROM

Since the other thread seems to be getting off topic, what topic? Im not sure since there is no development collaboration in the topic...I have created this thread for us to talk about whatever we want (pertaining to this ROM) SO go ahead and cry and whine all you want here, because afterall, thats the topic.
(MOD> PLEASE MOVE THIS TOPIC TO THE CORRECT FORUM, by MISTAKE I ADDED IT HERE)
Thread moved to General.
I'm afraid to see this thread in a day or two.
Anyways, does anybody know where AOSP and his all-knowing powers stand with this? There's plenty of chatter about what version he's on and all, but does anybody know for sure what he has so far?
I say give it some time. It took a while for Froyo to be fully functional. I'm not too keen on rushing the progress.
But as for GB, it looks really neat. Has anybody got any benchmarks data on it and compared it to the latest Froyo release?
i almost got a 5 on linpack, jit enabled. if u enable jit in gb though ive found video playback is screwey and dont work all the time. or maybe thats just the rom itself cause ive been having video playback problems with jit off to

Haven't been following the IRC. I don't much like the web based one. I follow 3 from Trillian, but I can't access the one he uses (only tried twice).
I do have hunches as to the slience. A lot of things have changed recently I think he might be working out.
-Root issues - being wiped out because of binary update
-ClockworkMOD - change to 3.0.0.2 supporting the new image methods
-gmail - critical to some, he's probably working on this over..
-camera. not critical to next update, but long run would be nice to have working, even to aosp i'm sure.

Engadget covers the nexus s issues

Engadget just posted a story on the two major issues of signal loss and rebooting during calls.
Maybe with this Google will start to fix the problem? I sure hope so, as both are now affecting me more than ever.

Didn't Ry guy posted that a fix is coming and they already found the problem? Its been more than 2 weeks now..
They must also fix
1)Choppy browser with and without flash.....
2)Random freeze of the gingerbread launcher...

I think it was posted that the reboot fix was coming, but not the loss of data.
Maybe I am just a lucky one, but I have had Nexus S since release and have only had a "random reboot" once; and no data signal loss issue AFAIK like Engadget has described. I have owned three Nexus Ss.
There are other issues, though, making it clear 2.3 is not bug free.

Perhaps 2.4 is coming sooner than planned and the fixes will be implemented in that? Just a wild guess.

Weird. I haven't had a single one of the issues described in any form. However, the browser issues do make me angry.
Glad there is a hotfix on the way (for the issues mentioned, that is, not necessarily the browser issues)!
The only issue that regularly bothers me is the vanishing ringtone one. It's not exactly critical from a utilitarian standpoint, but I think it's stupid that I should have to root and move files around my phone in order to set a custom ringtone. Still, I'm far too happy with pretty much everything else to switch.
I think one major sticking point with the Nexus S is that we have a fairly lengthy list of at least semi-common issues, but in several cases it's not clear whether those are hardware- or software-related. This is troublesome because the latter may be reasonably expected to get fixed in OTAs, while the former will probably only ever be resolved through workarounds, if at all.
I would be very pleased if Google were more transparent about what it's working on, or at least aware of, even if they (understandably) don't want to commit to fix dates. As a user, just knowing the basic nature of these problems and that they are being acknowledged would go a long way towards improving customer satisfaction in my book.

Went back to DI18 (F) DK28

Im so sick of DK28 and all of its issues. I just went back to DI18 Epic Experience. So much more smoother. No lag. No cant hear when calling glitch. No gallery problems. No force closes. No random reboots. NOTHING!! Just a nice smooth phone that I can use and that is reliable!!!!!! Im done with the whole leaked version thing. I wont flash my phone again until the official froyo comes out for the Epic. Good night DK28!!
I did. Well I was an idiot and bricked my phone and was lucky enough to get it replaced without the $100 deposit (thank you Dustin). I planned on rooting and flashing asap until I literally was about to connect the usb cable into my pc. For now I am staying stock. I may Z4 it to get rid of some stock apps but I am taking a break from the ROM/Modem flashing and theming stuff. My new Epic is running WAY better now then my old one was on DK28. I mainly wanted flash 10 but once I got it I never used it. I thought it would be great for watching HULU in between class or when I take the bus to work but my battery life was only 4hrs and I never could fix it no matter what recommendation I tried. Now my battery lasts all day again. We will see what I do in another week or 2 though lol.

From what I've experienced, there really aren't any issues with DK28 that aren't already in 18. Every Rom I've tried recently (Quantum, Bonsai, Midnight) has been silky smooth and I haven't gotten any FCs, calling glitches or anything you've experienced.
I just think its odd that people blame all their problems on the build. Its understandable if everyone is having the same issues as you, but when you're the odd one out, doesn't that mean you're the one thats the problem?

Well when Im looking through the threads and Im reading the titles that people post who are experiencing the same issues as I am and many others on this site, then I would assume its the build and not just one particular person. Not to mention its a leak.....Its not even an official release so for you to sit here and claim that it is more STABLE than the STOCK BUILD or anywhere close, you sound like a fan/groupie of DK28 rather than a person who is speaking from knowledge. There are more people on this thread than me who have been experiencing more than a few issues with the "leaked" froyo. When dialing out and sometimes the call not going through or you can talk but cant hear is a KNOWN ISSUE with the "BUILD" that even the devs are curious about. Never had an issue like that on the stock BUILD. Anyways like I said F DK28.
For me, Quantum 2.1 is more stable than the stock ever was. It's not fanboy speak, it's that we know what we're doing and it's pretty obvious that Froyo is much faster. Maybe Froyo doesn't work as well on older revisions of the Epic hardware, I know I got mine in December rather than when it was first released. But for me, it is much better than the crappy stock rom which is bloated with Sprint garbage.
Do we all care about if someone flashes back. It seems like posts like this keep clutterng up the forums. It makes it really difficult to search. Who cares u went back to stock. Mod please delete thread.

So what your telling me is that the pre-release version of a ROM is more buggy and less stable then a final product. Got ya.

Get off his case. He's sharing his experience on DK28 vs DI18 in case some DI18 users were still on the fence as to whether or not they want to jump to a buggy 2.2.1 build. There's a lot of hate going around these forums and it's the response like what you just gave thats give people a poor outlook of our community.
Personally I've experienced both sides of the argument. I went with DK28 first and killed my gps, flashed back to DI18 and went with ACS for 3 weeks. Got sick of 2.1 and really wanted some 2.2 features back so I went with midNIGHT and a 2.3 theme.
Thanks for your thoughts OP, I share the same concerns but found some of the buggy issues of DK28 to outweigh the bugs and lack of features of DI18. I actually think its funny though because a buggy DK28 makes me want a real stable froyo build even more than being on eclair made me want a 2.2 update lol

Exactly! I have been flashing my phone since I had my Touch Pro so I know all about leaks and the benefits they bring to a hardcore phone user like myself. I enjoyed DK28 for sometime now and it seems like the more people do to it the more some things stop working. I just got to the point where I was just tired of constantly updating the ROM with the newer version because the dev "FIXED" another DK28 issue. I appreciate all of their hard work. I even donated to a few of them because they made me love my Epic again with all these new EXT4 and no journaling mods. My phone has never been so fast and snappy......But at the end of the day when I need to use my phone I dont need it to do a random reboot or even worse miss a call because the other person cant hear me which is a very common problem some users are having. Although now that I am back on the DI18.......Its hard to find all those cool mods that I have been so used to. lol. Decisions decisions.

Way to get defensive without backing your claims. There are also much more than a few people who aren't experiencing the same problems you are. I've never even heard of the dial out bug nor experienced it in any flash. If you don't want to work to get a good beta experience, why are you even on XDA and flashing in the first place? I find that DK28 isn't perfect, but its still leaps and bounds better than stock.
You have problems? Try to get them fixed, reflash or ask some questions on the Q&A. Don't just blame it on the build. Basic rule of thumb? If majority don't have the same problem you're having, double check what you've done or reflash.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight
To use the OS "windows" as an analogy for you...
How do you think the bugs get found and fixed? When Vista (or any OS for this matter) was in Beta 1 / Beta 2 stage... guess what? It had MORE BUGS / glitches then the version that was released to the public. When it went to RC stage, it had less bugs then the beta. When it went to RTM (the version released to the public) it had less buts the beta and the rc.
Nothing will ever be 100% bug free, but to say you dont think there is a difference between alpha/beta/rc and final builds is very VERY naive of you.
P.S. if you were being sarcastic, my bad lol
Actually MS betas don't work that way, they release betas and continue to fix the bugs they are allowed to fix and run 100000 regression scripts and if any regressions are found they actually unfix the bug and attempt a different fix for it.
Eventually they end up releasing a few release candidates and end up picking the least buggy of these to promote to RTM.
I have a number of friends who work as SDE/Ts for MS, this is how it goes.
Also -- it's very possible that an updated code branch has more bug fixes than bugs introduced on smaller projects (like Android customizations) versus something huge like Windows.

Seriously? Don't you think if the build was so perfect, Sprint would have released it by now?
Fact: There are bugs in DK28. Congrats that you aren't experiencing them.
I personally experience the calling out bug, but not the GPS bug. My accelerometer was jacked up for a while when I moved to DK28 until I found a good workaround (and no, the simple "recalibrate in the terminal method" didn't work). HOWEVER, the benefits to me are greater than the disadvantages of having these bugs in DK28.
This is a forum - the OP was sharing his experience. What kind of forum would it be if no one was able to share there personal experiences with the phone we all have?
Cut the guy some slack.

So... you had a bug and you looked around and found a way to fix it. Congrats. Thats exactly what my advice was.
I've had FC problems on prior Rom flashes before. I reflashed and took my time to fix it. My phone runs smoothly now. I could just Odin DI18 and blame it all on DK28, but like most people, I took the time to get it right. If it were an OTA upgrade, you could blame it on the build, but its a Rom, so take the time to get it running and like you said yourself, there are plenty of people to help with good workarounds.
I don't understand all the pandering and hand holding thats encouraged in these forums. You encourage whining and then complain when there is so much of it. How about encouraging these same people to go out and improve their phones instead of coddling them?
+1 Theres so many resources and answers theres no reason to not have a sweet running,personalized non buggy phone on dk28

Did anyone with multitouch download a new ROM?

Did you find it cleared multi-touch issues or improved it at all? Some people say Cyanogenmod fixed things, but I'd just like more confirmation that it'd make a difference

I've never tried flashing a ROM before, my device is already unlocked/rooted. What do you do exactly to flash Cyanogenmod?
Just installed Cyanogenmod and saw that the problem is not solved. I fear starting to appear that the problem is hardware. Now have to wait for an update from Google.
IIRC, the screen issue is due to a firmware config that cannot be addressed by flashing a new ROM. An updated firmware package will have to be pushed via Google.

Did Google confirm this was the problem? I just need to make sure it is their problem before I go and swap it out since I have 1 more week to decide

From what I have seen, google is aware of all the big bugs and is working on a big update. Looks like screen flicker, multitouch, overheating, corrupted images on startup, gps, wifi performance etc are going to be fixed in a bugfix update. All the nexus devices start their lives like this, one of the few annoying things about being a nexus fanboy, you get to enjoy the bugs before anyone else gets to.

I'm trying to remember the source of my information. But it was stated a few times that the second OTA is what causes the screen issues after powering your device up for the first time.

Yeah I remember this too, something about the kernel supplying not enough voltage to the touchscreen in an attempt to improve battery life. This has to be a kernel bug.
Try flashing a different kernel as that is what bridges hardware and software.
Aren't all kernels based on stock?

I would love to see that happen, but where do you see Google acknowledged and commited to fix all those problems?
If it is just speculation, that doesn't help folks who are within their return period and can get out instead of playing guinea pig.

According to the minions on their google+ "they are working on these issues". I by no means know that google is in fact going to be able to fix all of these issues, nor am I able to guarantee what they do, but I don't see that by repeating what their reps are saying is pure speculation. I think that judging by past examples anyone who has bought a nexus device at launch has either knowingly or unknowingly already agreed to be a guinea pig. In the end I am one of the last people to say that someone shouldn't return a defective piece of hardware, but it seems a lot of the issues people are having are being misdiagnosed as hardware issues when in fact they can (and most likely will) be fixed by an OTA.
I can dare to say that the issue is present in Android 4.3 affecting any device running it even Custom Roms I'm on CyanogenMod 10.2 on my d2spr (S3 Sprint) and the issue is present there too. Also that causes reboots too. I could be wrong too.

No problem with repeating what they are saying, but you seem to have commited them to more than they are saying in their personal comments, not those as official reps.
IMO everyone should get accurate information so they can evaluate for themselves whether it is worth the risk to keep it or just to return the unit.
Personally I think the random reboots and GPS can be addressed in software and the multi-touch is probably 50/50 something that can be worked around in software, but everyone has their own tolerance levels for these kind of issues and "are looking into it or are working on it" and "going to be fixed" are quite different levels of commitment.
I'm sorry but what issues are you having because I exchanged my first n7 because I was having multitouch stuttering and issues with unresponsiveness which made the device unusable. The new device is okay.

So in the past I've mention that OnePlus One had issues if you try to charge it while it's turned off, the charging led(red) isn't on and I went here to tell my story:
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/114705-oneplus-one-charge-when-turned-off-charging-and-led/
Well not much people got interested in this so I still persuit this and open a case in the "famous" jira cyanogenmod reporting system and open this thread:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-4187
So even since CM12.1 this issue exist and maybe from previous android versions, now I saw today that it's been solved, so I update my phone to the latest official "cm-13.1-ZNH2KAS1KN" and check it out ...guess what, no resolve so I tried to post on JIRA Cyanogenmod that the ZNH2KAS1KN still has the issue
When I figure out that the "RESOLVED" from "Pat Erley" which was assigned to fix it was to make my account "inactive" - great resolve
P.S. When I open this issue one of the cyanogen guys told me "I can't add votes and I'm not going to advertise the issue (and I would rather you not either). The activity would have been me assigning the issue"
He didn't want to "advertise" the issue, why? ...why he wanted this to be quiet? (this is visible from the jira cyanogenmod link I've mention in the second link
P.S.2 Share this to as many OnePlus One users possible, cyanogenmod jira is useless(and they mute you if they don't like what you are saying)

The build released in July when he closed the issue ticket is ZNH2KAS254. Check by flashing that build first if it's actually fixed. I don't personally ever charge with screen off and I'm on Omni right now so can't confirm for you at the moment.

Flashed ZNH2KAS254 (same issue) also the newer fix ZNH2KAS2X1 (same issue )
Did the flashes but forgot to update it here ...the issue exist and never beeing fixed since CM12.1(or maybe earlier I'm not sure when this started but it was there since CM12.1 for sure)
P.S. In omni as in CyanogenMOD the charging experiance while turned off is even worse, in Cyanogen you don't have red led lit but the screen has a BIG battery, the CM, omni etc etc have a tiny tiny small white battery that reminds me of the year 2000 ...also no red led lit(same issue)
I'm using the cm nightlies and it lights up fine when charging while powered off. No percent number but the light is there. I stopped using the official software months ago because of bluetooth spotify audio stuttering which also no one cared about to fix. Nightlies are running fine but without gimmicks like slow shutter and raw (but slow motion is there)

Currently on COS13.1.1 ..and issue the report based on COS not CM(had CM in the past but there still was this issue while the phone was turned off - didn't check CM for a while as I'm on COS since COS13)
It's unacceptable the official rom for this device to have a broken rom, charging led works if the phone is on but that's a different matter

You do realize CM Nightlies are months ahead development wise than COS. It'll get to official COS after some months so just have to be patient. I checked and it works on latest nightlies as the other user mentioned

Do you understand, your problems been fixed, just flash a damn nightly. No one at Cyanogen is gonna apologize to you or say you were wronged. Get over it and flash a damn nightly.

Problem not fix with the OFFICIAL rom, I really don't care about nightlies or made by papajohn ReMixERrSZzz or whoever, currently I don't feel like playing with roms, I do have a simple root in my COS(look what I wrote, CyanogenOS aka Cyanogen)
P.S. Try to be more polite, everyone can talk badly without even trying - It's unacceptable the official rom to have such a huge bug since COS12(or maybe even before that while I've mention it)

Official Nightlies are the same code made by the same guys who make the stock OS, COS just has some closed source apps and comes bundled with gapps. Can't wait to see your dumb comments when you realize you'll never get Nougat COS update but people using CM Nightlies will

Why don't u just charge with the device turned on? Airplane mode on and plug in charger there you go. I wouldn't be happy to wait for a boot every morning.
