I have a PPTP account with HideIPVPN which works perfectly on my iPod Touch and on my XP computers. It does not work on my Motorola Milestone - the connection is "successful" but no data gets through. At some point on some build of Froyo (I can't remember which), I was quite successfully able to use this VPN on my Nexus One for long extended periods to listen to Pandora Radio.
Recently I tried CyanogenMod 6 RC3, and to my disappointment, I could connect to the VPN but not get any data to go through. So I restored to my nandroid backup on FRF91 (which I'd originally applied via the pre-rooted update.zip). I retried the VPN and it works but after 30-90 seconds the data cuts out and won't work anymore.
Has anyone here had consistent success with a PPTP VPN on FRF91 or CM6 RC3? If so, did you have to do anything special to make it work?
Thanks
Charles
The "cut out" might be related to WiFi keepalive bug. Keep the phone awake and see if the connection still cuts out.

The phone remains awake the whole time. I connect to the VPN and then immediately jump to browser. I load one page and it pulls down successfully. Then I keep clicking links; after the second or third one nothing works anymore, and no apps are able to see data until I disconnect the VPN. This is reproducible.
On my iPod Touch, the same procedure does not have any trouble - I can connect to the VPN and browse for hours.
I located the post on HowardForums where I reported my success with VPN + Pandora on Froyo. It was June 6th, and at that time the latest Froyo build was FRF50.
So I've taken a nandroid backup and I'm going to try a little experiment... roll back to FRF50 via pre-rooted update.zip and see if PPTP works on that build. Don't know if my phone will have a problem with rolling backwards but worst case I can just restore.
Rollback test #1: Didn't clear data/cache first time round. Same results as before, ability to browse cuts out within about 30 seconds of the VPN connection.
Test #2: Wiped cache/data to get a blank (but still rooted) FRF50. Same results again... first page or two I browse to will load but then nothing else will.
Could rooting the phone somehow have destroyed the ability to use a PPTP VPN? So strange, I just can't figure out why it worked in June and not anymore today.
Ah well, since I can't get it working on *any* build right now, might as well go back to CM6 and try out the new stable mod. And I'll keep hoping/wishing/etc for a solution to this problem. Any ideas are welcome.
Well this is interesting. I can't get the VPN to work from my home or office wifi (and it works on both with iPod Touch) - but - when I brought my N1 into a WIND Mobile store and tried their test SIM, I was able to connect to the VPN over 3G just perfectly. The connection didn't stall out and I was able to listen to Pandora through the tunnel. This was using CyanogenMod 6.
I wonder why it's not working on wifi?
Am I the only one who cares about this, or is nobody else experiencing the same bug?
Same problem on the Galaxy S. I think its an Android issue, rather than phone. I understand, though never tested, that it works when doing VPN to a linux box, but never to windows or something like a cisco appliance.
OpenVPN works, but takes a fair amount of messing about to get it working.
On CyanogenMod 6.1 / 6.1.1, I can sometimes stay connected now to a PPTP VPN for 5-15 minutes at a time over Wifi. Not sure when it changed.
Ok so on the RC4 CM7 build my wifi is very unstable, whenever I attempt to download files it will randomly crash resulting in any files being downloaded without a restart bookmark being lost as I have to leave the program I'm in turn off Wifi turn it back on and then finallly i'm able to reconnect to the internet. Is anyone else having this problem? If you did, do you know how to fix it? I'm at my wits end here as there are programs I've had to try to download for over 2 hours because of these wifi crashes....

I've had the exact same issue, and I'm not 100% sure yet, but mine completely went away when I uninstalled Setting Profiles Lite. I was using it to turn off Wifi every time it went into suspend mode (same settings I used on Eclair) but since I did that, wifi hasn't burped once. Like you I could barely download anything before it would stop and I had to turn off and back on wifi to make it work again for a while.
this seems to happen to me every morning between 5 and 7am.. most other times it works great.. i cant figure it out either
not using that program.....
Well I checked just to make sure and I am not using the program you mentioned so I am at a loss as to why the wifi will crap out randomly and have to be turned off then on... Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Adan
I'm having the same issue. No idea what's going on, but it's driving me crazy.
I don't seem to have the same trouble just surfing the web, but if I try to download anything or stream video, it craps out about every 5 minutes.

Yeah, mine is still crapping out tonight too.. stock wifi works perfect. I am using CM7 on SD, anyone else?
yep yep yep
Exactly the same setup man. Using my CM7 on my SD card and WIFI runs just fine on my reg Nook software, Nookie Froyo, and HC sds i have run....

This may be silly, but are you all setting your wifi to 'never sleep's on advanced settings under wifi settings? If you are not familiar with Cm roms, I can see how you might miss this essential setting. Just press the menu key after going into wifi settings, and a secondary menu will come up..with scan, and advanced...under advanced, set wifi sleep policy to never. Hope this helps, but if it's something you all already know, then please disregard.

So this isn't specific to the Nook Color, it's a CM7 bug overall that Wifi falls out?
What's interesting is my wifi will stay connected, idle, for 8+ hours (while I slept) but I then download 2M of files while eating breakfast and it dies and I have to restart wifi to make it work again...
This is definitely going to make me wait until it's fixed to put CM7 on emmc, this is really aggravating. Which I hate, because I'm really digging CM7. It's perkier, runs smoother, and no B&N shortcut thingy popping up by accident all of the time.
So anyone NOT on SD seeing this problem on the Nook Color? Sounds like this might be a generic CM7 issue but I've also been told that heavy IO on the SD could cause IO problems in other areas, including wifi.
I'm not on SD and having the same problems.
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3314
Can you guys go there and Star that issue and add your configuration and experience?
And please, if anyone figures out anything, be a hero and tell us I'm thinking about wiping fresh and not installing any apps and seeing if the behavior continues.
Popped out my CM7 SD card and booted to Eclair and just spent 45 minutes updating my apps I hadn't done in 4 days, read Engadget, read some news in Pulse, played a youtube video, downloaded some other data.
Not one hiccup.
CM7 is sooooo nice, hopefully this gets figured out. What's bad is that a lot of people say they don't have the problem, so something is going on.

I have been dealing with thisfora while and I seem to have come across a work around. I switched the security settings of my router and made it a compley open network. Since then, I've had zero issues. My wireless network is unsecure now, but I live out in the woods, so I'm not too concerned.

Several people have reported this, specifically with the Nook Color. I personally haven't had wifi crashes or refusal to wake up, but I have noticed that websites take significantly longer to load on my Nook Color than they do on either my wifes or my Droid X. Obviously there are a ton of factors that could be responsible for this though.
Okay, so I tried everything I could think of.. Imaged back to totally clean CM7 RC4, not even gapps.. Fiddled with all sorts of CM Perf settings (vm heap, JIT, etc)
Considering I've also had the wifi dropouts on my phone, work, and home router I was convinced it could not be anything router specific, but I have an old Linksys B router that I keep up for my daughters computer which I have an ancient Prism wireless card in so I didn't have to run cables to her room.
It works. I used it about hour last night, off and on for a few hours today. No wifi hangs.
So my next step is to figure out if it's the router or the encryption... My B router has no encryption on it, just MAC filtering to keep out the neighbors. The G router running DD-WRT has WPA Encryption. So I'm going to disable Encryption on the G router and turn on MAC filtering and see what happens. If it works there, it must be related to encryption. If it still fails, it must be something related to the router or router FW.
Okay, first thing I did was change from TKIP+AES to only TKIP on my G router and so far so good. I found some other evidence that AES might be an issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11598765&postcount=187
Anyone else, please try TKIP only if your router has AES available?

Sorry man I don't have AES as a option, so I'm not sure that is the problem...
Hello,
I'm a newbie regarding Android, I just got a Milestone with MIUI 1.9.9. and I have some problems. First my RAM memory is 0.00 bytes and I don't know why because I'm using only email right now. Second I a have problem with WIFI, I changed the slep policy, and when I activate Wifi it's starting scanning for nothing, no wifi Network appears and when I can connect, after a whie it's disconnecting itself and doesn't reconnect.
I've read that CM7 is the best to install but I don't know how, maybe someone will help me with a turorial, I want to keep MIUI but I have these problems with it.

Try installing the app Script Manager from the Market and running Zeppelinrox's supercharging. A simple search will give you the thread.
What kind of wireless router do you have? What is the encryption?
As for CM7 (and any other ROM), you need wipe your data and both caches.
To do so, you will need to reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition and then wipe data. Then, you flash CM7, wipe both caches, flash the google apps addon, wipe both caches again, change baseband and reboot.
I tried CM7,and now downgrade to CM6 and still no Wifi connection, it's scanning but doesn't show anything. I use a D-Link router, it's open connection. I've read somewhere that on 2.2 or 2.3 based Android versions wifi it's not working. Does anybody know a solution to this issue?...
I really need my WIFI connection.
P.S. The hardware it's ok, I went to a mobile service and they told me it must be software problem.
I'm trying to update to Eclait Teluslite but I have problems in openrecovery with and I get verifying md5 then all failed and E: Failed verifying checksums. Someome told me that with eclair solved the wifi problem
The only wifi problem we have is with the sleep policy
Try to reboot your router.
If it doesn't work try to see if you can get a connection with another one.

It's like this, I installed again MIUI, I like the interface, sometime(rarely) or only one time I can connect to my router, all working, but in a while it disconnects and after that the phone is scanning but it doesn't show me any network, just not in range. And it's doing like this in any MOD. Sleep policy is never, 13 channels, proxy on/off...nothing seems to work to find again the wifi and connect.
Check my signature, and post a kernel log, when it does that.

ok, I hope I got it right and this is the log. Wifi is activated, scanning but my network doesn't show up. I have a N900 that is working just fine with my wifi router.
Accidental call hold (upper-left corner touch issue)
Hi,
I find calls are often put accidentally on hold, as my ear touches the "hold" button on the upper left corner of the touch screen.
The functionality supposed to prevent this (the promixity/light sensor near the center of the upper border) does work when I test it manually, but apparently I tend to keep the phone at the left ear in such a position the ear doesn't cover the sensor all the time.
This has been a recurring issue on the Milestone, both the original firmware and now with cyanogenmod 7.
I remember others commenting on this when the Milestone was new. Anything in Cyanogenmod to resolve the issue? If not, a couple of alternatives come to mind
* switch the phone program to something other than the Motorola original
* if source is available, modify the phone program to have the hold button in a different place, recompile & install the modified phone program
* other suggestions?
UPDATE: Solved the issue: there's an option to hide the Hold button in cyanogenmod 7:
From general settings menu: settings --> call settings --> Hide Hold button

sorry for late reply. i had problems.
but if it starting to do that by itself "on and off" it's already been discussed as hardware related
does your wireless router has ipv6 enabled ?

So I've searched around a bit and not really found anyone else having this issue... Is it just me or is no one complaining?
The Bluetooth connection shows to be solid on the phone "connected, running sync loop" shows in the notification bar and the little connection lost cloud is not displayed on the watch.
However, notifications will not push and if I try to initiate a voice command it spins for while and then tells me that it is "unable to reach the Google server" turning Bluetooth on and then back off will rectify the issue temporarily. And... To make things more complicated it will randomly happen a lot one day and hardly at all another day ( of course it always acts up when someone starts asking questions about the watch and wants a demo, which in turn makes you look like a gullable early adopting fool.)
I'm currently using a gear live with a nexus 5 running the latest stable build of cm11. Ive also tested with and without WiFi enabled, because I thought I noticed a correlation but there seems to be none.
Is it me? Am I doing something wrong?

That happened to me a couple of times too, but the watch usually had the cloud connection symbol thing while my phone said "connected, running sync loop." Turning bluetooth on and off and/or hitting the connect/disconnect button in the android wear app fixed the problem, but it seems to happen again whenever I leave the phone away from the watch and the BT connection is lost. It's doesn't seem to regain the connection on its own.
Is this is a CM11 problem, though? I also have CM11 (nightlies and milestones) and I had the same issue with my pebble watch. I'm thinking of going stock to see if it fixes the problem.

The thing that gets me is how inconsistent it appears to be. My phone is always in my pocket, and the cloud "disconnected" icon never appears.
however the link is clearly broken. I may do a wipe and install AOSP. I hope that is not the issue, ive really been enjoying the theme engine in cm11 along with all of the other customizability features

I had the same issue with my nexus 5 running CM11. Two or three times throughout the day my watch would just stop receiving notifications, but it would still say it was connected. Often I noticed it because when I went to give it a voice command it would not register and then say it was disconnected until I swiped away the notification. I've just flashed over to Omni ROM to see if that fares better, since I'm pretty sure the issue was mainly with CM11 on this phone.

The same exact thing is happening to me, just one day started to get in a "Pairing Loop" continually asking me to pair the watch to my phone. Upon pairing successfully and syncing some notifications the connection gets broken and immediately a new parigin code appears.
UPDATE:
I'm back on cm11 and everything is working properly. The problem is not the ROM, its the Kernel that comes baked in. Currently using elementalX Kernel and no issues.

[CLOSED] fixed -
re-installed "9", everything working again.
I've had this too. Sometimes wif-fi just refuses to re-enable after the TP goes to sleep. The toggle moves and then just slides back. The only way to re-enable is to reboot. I'll give a re-install a go when the next version is released as it is not a major problem for me. Just thought I'd mention it as it is not an isolated incident.

I have not experience that "yet".
Make sure the WiFi connection is " Treat as unmetered" ( this is Android feature ) not ROM
Besides that, any settings or extra Apps that the user install could make WiFi work differently.
Also Android 9 must use a swap partition and the settings from the Guide.
I've not actually in stalled much as I still prefer to use webOS!! Hate me if you like but Android & iOS are now bringing in their own versions of gestures and 'cards' that webOS had nearly 10 years ago. On this basis I still have the Swap file so all is good there.
I'll check the Android settings later to make sure, however for the device to be working fine, put down (in the 6 year old wireless charger) and left for a couple of hours and then you cannot enable wifi does not sound like an issue with the basic Android settings. Either this in an install problem, a ROM problem or a hardware problem. As there just 2 of us with this and _dave reinstalled and it seems to be good for him I'll presume it is an install problem for now and just live with it until I get bored - or an updated ROM is released.

I do agree with you on the WebOS interface and we clearly see now how the others mobile OS have implemented the WebOS gestures and other things.
On this basis I still have the Swap file so all is good there.
WebOS was the first and truly a mobile operating system designed for a Tablet and the swap partition is part of that.
I'll check the Android settings later to make sure, however for the device to be working fine, put down (in the 6 year old wireless charger) and left for a couple of hours and then you cannot enable wifi does not sound like an issue with the basic Android settings.
I have been running youtube playing music since 8 am this morning and now is 3pm data usage for that tablet is over 2 GB and I have the Super variant install of Open Gapps, the maximum that can be flash. WiFi does not drop as is all working. I turn WiFi on and off, it reconnects. When dealing with WiFi there are two devices involved and two settings, router and tablet. I had issues with disconnects and it was due to my manual settings that I had on the router and there was interference. I mostly set up all settings to auto, selected channel 11 that does not have much interference "where I am" and all went away.
Either this in an install problem, a ROM problem or a hardware problem. As there just 2 of us with this and _dave reinstalled and it seems to be good for him I'll presume it is an install problem for now and just live with it until I get bored - or an updated ROM is released.

When describing an issue, it must be very specific.
1. WiFi does not reconnect to the same wireless network ( does not see it) WiFi icon is outline but not filled.
2. WiFi is completely off, does not see any network ( WiFi icon is not visible ) OFF
What is the graphical status of the WiFi icon next to the battery icon ( outline or filled )?
OK. As I just posted to show that _dave was not alone, I think (for me) this is getting out of hand. Whilst I do appreciate your time and knowledge, it is simply (again for me) not a significant problem.
However. If I use the TP it is not a problem so streaming music would be in the realms of using. The issue I have is that after using it I place it inthe dock and when I pick it up again hours later I sometimes find wifi is not enabled. I got to settings and toggle the 'slider' to ON and a second later the 'slider' moves back to the OFF position. I simply cannot make the 'slider' stay in the ON position. If I restart the TP everything is fine and dandy again.
So for me a quick reboot is sufficient to keep me using this ROM. I know I can roll back to an earlier ROM or even try Pie again like _dave did. As we seem to be the only two users that have voiced a problem here and he has fixed his I cannot ask you to look into this further - unless there are other users that are also affected.

Where would I find the "Android feature" for the WiFi connection? Other then the ROM I don't know how to get to this feature.

Settings --->> Network & Internet --->>WiFi ( connected WiFi is the first one ) to the right (the blue icon)
The last down (Advanced).
Also WiFi will take time to connect again after the Tablet comes out of standby (sleep)
What kernel speed did you flashed from the Guide?

Thanks, got it
For some reason I did not installed any kernel speed-up, should I and can I just add it now (already setup)? I'm thinking of using the 1728000 version or should I go higher?
Thanks for all your support.:good:

It is a must and that is why the guide was created and those files fixes issues with the non working Bluetooth and the performance of the ROM, is not only to speed-up. It clearly state to flash in the specific order.
1. ROM
2. Kernel Boots optimize settings
3. Open gapps (Pico recommend)
Thanks for all your support.:good:

If you are not familiar or know the maximum CPU frequency your tablet can handle flash the 1728 if you experience reboots then try lower. If want to get better performance then try 1782 and 1836 if the tablet can handle it.
But always follows the instructions exactly as posted it, that is how the ROM was tested and guarantee to work.
You are welcome!

I started over again and flash the ROM then the 172 and pico app, didn't have a reboot problem but I lost WiFi again (keeps going off, even after rebooting). So, I dropped down to 1674 and everything working again. I'll stay with 1674 for now, at least until the next ROM update.
Again, thanks for your help.:good:

WebOS is now LuneOS and also is on LG TV

Yeah, tried LuneOS (it's many iterations) and although it is moving in the right direction it is still not as polished as webOS was when it died (has it ever actually died?). I still use apps from the old app store but Android is just easier as it is up to date and works. If webOS development was restarted and brought fully up to date with a decent stocked store it would (and should have) been a great success. Oh well :crying:
I thought about a LG TV but can't justify the cost whilst my Sammy TV is working

Also check your router settings if there are interference on the channels and is set to automatically change channels the Tablet may have issues updating to the new channel.
So, I dropped down to 1674 and everything working again. I'll stay with 1674 for now, at least until the next ROM update.
A higher frequency that the tablet can not handle will make it reboot or freeze, using the closer highest frequency for the Tablet will make it work better.

LuneOS is work in progress, but at least the built it browser works well. WebOS is alive on the LG TVS

The most important on any OS is the Apps available that add functionality.

Developers support and willing to develop App for the platform is the key to a successful OS.

I think that the only thing that is need it is a Theme pack to cosmetically make Android 9 look like WebOS. The gestures are the same.
LOL you're forgetting QT web browser and QupZilla on the TP now
I have the theme and Fling settings on an old Experia but that didn't feel right (there was a tutorial a while back in Pivot). Palm had the interface/UX just about perfect but it was never loved by the public and HP didn't really give a sh*t.

To me Pie is very similar to WebOS, even the charging sound is very similar to the finished boot sound in WebOS.
All is changing and we must adapt to it, to be able to keep the Tablet updated and useful.
Android Q is already in Beta, who knows if it will boot in the HP TP and the developers will take the challenge.
Hi HP_TOUCHPAD, once again I cannot get my TP to see my WiFi (rest of my devices - no problem). And once again the "advance" section does not show up in "Network & Internet" section. So how do I get the "advance" section to show up again.

@_dave sorry for the delay. Staring with Oreo 8.1 if any changes are done to the router the WiFi connection will be lost and the Tablet will not see the WiFi signal that was connected to and a reboot is required. If the router was changed then, select forget network and connect again. The same issue is present in Pie 9.
