Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

Just to give more background, I'm also running fasterN9 so could that cause the stutter even when wlanscanoff is activated?

Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

wout.martens you've hit the nail on its head ;)

uninstall fastern9, it slows down some processes so it surely is the cause of the issue :)

Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

Yes, that could be it. Easy test is to listen to the music without bluetooth. If it still stutters, then it's something else (like fasterN9 or ram filled up).

Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

Uninstalled fasterN9 and stutter is still a bit there but less so thats good.

Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

Thanks for this.

Note as well that even with wifi scanning off,
if you are not connected to internet
+
if you have at least one wifi network that is set to connect automatically
=
then if you launch for instance a web browser, it will ask for internet connection, so that it will first try to connect to wifi, so stuttering will then appear.

At least this is my experience. BUT this scanning off is a big step forward. Because before I had every 5mn or so, a stuttering.

Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

I have used it along with my 360 speaker all day. And no stuttering at all!
Ran spotify streaming through wifi with twitter updates every 20min and no stutter.
Surfing the web no stutter.

I have fastern9 installed to but as I have said alot of times in the post: NO stutter!:)

Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

Would this help my current situation where as my N9 keep prompting the Connection "page" and ask to select one when the phone is not online. I have been trying to hunt down the culprit but without success. Oh and will this come to the next version of Profilematic ?

I don't plan to include this in ProfileMatic. The reason is, that there is no place in N9's settings for enabling/disabling wifi scanning. So if I included it in ProfileMatic, it would be very easy for newbies trying different stuff to accidentally disable their wifi scanning for good and having no idea why they don't automatically connect anymore. I don't feel good about including that kind of potentially "destructive" stuff to ProfileMatic.

So as it is, I think it's better that with ProfileMatic people use Custom action to either set the gconf value, or calling ToggleWlanScan. The latter has the added benefit that the current status of wlan scanning can be seen from homepage.

Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

Justadude requested a combination of Bt + Wlan scan. Here's an attachment that calls both ToggleBt and ToggleWlanScan with one click.

1) Prerequisites: Install ToggleBt and ToggleWlanScan
2) Upload the included .tar file to your device into MyDocs/togglewscanbt
3) Open terminal and type:

Code:

$ cd /home/user/MyDocs/togglewscanbt

$ tar -xvf togglewscanbt.tar

$ devel-su

# cd /home/user/MyDocs/togglewscanbt

# sh install.sh

Now you have the icon. The icon shows current status of wlan scanning.

You can't uninstall this from homescreen but must do it manually:

Code:

$ devel-su

# cd /opt/togglewscanbt

# sh uninstall.sh

It's just a quick hack.

The nice icons are done by flopjoke.

Re: [Announce] ToggleWlanScan

Awesome stuff, thanks for making it!
It did not stop the stuttering for me, but I'm on wifi as I speak, so I'll report back about it when it's off.
