Update SuperZaxxon v1.74

[Swordfish II]

Most likely interference from busy channel (used by people near you) or neighbor channels. I've noticed the wifi chip really hates when others use the same frequencies, even when other transmitters are quite far away.

Interesting, I'll have to try and change to a less used channel (wonder if I can open up channel 12 on the Pandora and router)

 

[ingoreis]

Disregard my last.

I tethered my Pandora to my cellphone and had nice sustained, stable downloads with little to no bouncing (600kbps - 500kbps). So the issue must be my shitty cable internet. I have no idea why it runs up to around 900kbps on my Pandora, will drop to around 600, bounce around there then fall to 70ish, stay there for a while, then jump back up.

The really strange thing is that I don't have this problem on my desktop using the same internet and wireless connection. That has nice consistent download speeds.

Off topic but any ideas what could be doing this?

I rekognized here that slow SD Cards decrase the Downloadspeed.

My Hints:

Try to Download directly to a fast Usb 2.0 Stick and not save to your SD Card the Files.
You will rekognize in very often Cases a faster and more stable Wlan download Speed.

Try differrent Sites..not only PND Manager for testing the Download Speed because many other Downloads work here faster than download in Browsers or PND Manager.

Try a Download with Wget for maximum Wlan Speed Test without Browser.

In one of my last Youtubevideos i had run TheTube from a fast Usb Stick and buffering worked very fast then

And i deactivated the Wlan N and AC Channels on my Wlan Router because all my Things here use Wlan B/G Standard.
That helped a lot too here.

 

[Swordfish II]

Notaz, spot on. Did a quick airodump to see which networks were on which channels. Only one network on channel 1. Switched my network over and downloads are WAYYY more stable on the Pandora.

Thanks

 

[joachim]

Notaz, I tried to copy just the files and it works now in Slackware. You are the greatest.

Many thanks from here !!!!!

Upgraded from 1.61 to 1.74. Wow. Wifi connection is instant. Download speed increased from 85kB/s to 500kB/s. And now i can use other devices on the network (slowly) while downloading on pandora - before they were totally blocked.

THANKS NOTAZ

 

[rygD]

My internal wifi still sucks. Am I the only one still having issues?

 

[ZXDunny]

Nope. Mine worked really well a few versions back, but not anymore. Makes updating large PNDs quite painful and really only possible if I take the family away for a weekend so the Pandora gets the wifi connection to itself (as nobody else can use the 'net while it's downloading).

 

[rygD]

Mine seems worse, too. There are so many possible contributing factors that I can't blame it all on one thing easily. Thanks for replying.

 

[notaz]

Nope. Mine worked really well a few versions back, but not anymore.

You know you can get the functionality from few versions back by creating a file, right?
It's /etc/pandora/conf/wl1251 where you add:

ps_rate_threshold=10000

And to revert changes from 1.71 add an additional line:

use_fw_ps=N

You might need to reboot for that stuff to take effect.

Mine seems worse, too. There are so many possible contributing factors that I can't blame it all on one thing easily.

CC unit? Many of those have broken hardware (wrong resistor), I'm quite sure ZXDunny's unit has that problem.

It also may be this antenna problem which is not hard to fix:

My internal wifi still sucks. Am I the only one still having issues?

My CC still sucked with the 1.71 release (modified wifi driver in that one), haven't tried it with current versions.

My 1ghz however went from "slow as balls," to pretty decent. Good enough that I torrent straight on it instead of downloading on a computer and transferring the files ( ~900kbps - 500kbps).

 

[harlequin]

My Pandora's Wi-Fi too really liked the update (800-900 KB/s quite stable, with 1200+ KB/s peaks).

Thank you very much Notaz.

With 1.74 from 1.73 I went from 500 kb/s to more than 1 Mb/s - really impressive.

 

[levi]

I just tried out the wifi and it couldn't discover my router (which last time I checked was broadcasting its SSID), and after forcing it to connect to it as a hidden service, wouldn't accept my password (using the configuration I normally use for my USB wifi dongle). But that's not too surprising - I had similar troubles with Network Manager on my laptop back when I used debian. Now I just use netctl under Arch there, and that works without fail. And switching back to using my USB dongle worked fine.

 

[Palmiga]

Try to update my pandora from V1.71 to V1.74, but it wont work.
I always get checksum-error from the updateprocess.
I try different SD-cards and different downloads, but no luck.

If I check the rootfs.img-md5 from the pandora-terminal by hand, its the same as rootfs.md5.

Maybe try doing a full reflash to 1.73 then upgrade to 1.74 iirc 1.73 had quite a few boot goodies that you don't get if you were to just flash 1.74

 

[Palmiga]

Thanks for your answer. Flash to V1.73 didnt work too.
As I could see in the update.log: Inside the update-process md5sum calculate everytime a different checksum.
First try it starts with cb9 and ends with dfa, next time (same image) it start with 34b and ends with 7ef.
But the checksum from rootfs.img on my sd-Card is correct. Tested it from my ubuntu-notebook or from the pandora-terminal. Really strange.

Any idea?

 

[notaz]

Any idea?

Might be the same SD read corruption problem that dgame had. SZ 1.74 has a fix for it, but the flasher itself is still using the kernel from 1.72.

Could you try reflashing 1.74 as usual, just with boot.scr replaced with this one:
http://notaz.gp2x.de/tmp/boot.scr

iirc 1.73 had quite a few boot goodies that you don't get if you were to just flash 1.74

Not true, everything is included in 1.74 too, will also be in future ones.

 

[PowerGod]

You know you can get the functionality from few versions back by creating a file, right?
It's /etc/pandora/conf/wl1251 where you add:

ps_rate_threshold=10000

And to revert changes from 1.71 add an additional line:

use_fw_ps=N

You might need to reboot for that stuff to take effect.


CC unit? Many of those have broken hardware (wrong resistor), I'm quite sure ZXDunny's unit has that problem.

It also may be this antenna problem which is not hard to fix:

Are these informations also somewhere else ? I can't find them on the wiki

Probably not, it gets out of date quickly and normally people should not need to mess with this stuff anyway.

 

[Palmiga]

Thanx to notaz, the new boot.scr fixed the problem. Using V1.74 now!
