Network error, data 'freezes' for a bit

[ChillingSilence]

So I've been noticing an issue where the data on the wifi just "stops" or "freees" for a bit. Noticed it specifically some times when watching YouTube videos.
Same for G+, sometimes as I scroll up and down the list it won't pull the images from the posts. This is what happened at the end here, was using G+, noticed it stopped, so switched to 3G and it worked fine. Switched back to Wifi and it was fine again:

See from Line 945-ish

I can confirm that my Galaxy Nexus (Running latest official Google AOSP build) was working at the same time, not an issue with the wifi...

[tgascoigne]

Yeah, I've noticed that "error -13" thing before too

[ChillingSilence]

Happened also when using MIUI which AFAIK is based on official Sense ROMs.
Happened to me a week ago, flashed / factory reset and went to MIUI. Still happens. Flashed and went back to this ROM, factory reset, still happens.
Happened on Trips, I think they were initially blaming the Chrome Beta and it's sync which stops, but right now I don't have Chrome (Haven't installed it since coming back from MIUI) and it's still buggered...

Would be nice to get a logcat if possible

There was one in the first post? I'm doing some flashing this afternoon, will send another example shortly.

No worries :)

Another one from earlier today finally came through (Email to myself):
http://pastebin.ca/2161481

Was trying to post on Wifi on G+, didn't work. Dropped back to 3G, didn't work...

[ChillingSilence]

Took Build #57
Flashed boot.img followed by fastboot erase cache
Flashed Build #57
Factory reset from recovery
Flashed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Rebooted

Told it I didn't wanna use my Google account during initial setup
Connected to Wifi
Went in to Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> Google Account --> Added my google details
As soon as I did this I got an error in the notification bar:
"sign in error for josiah@%mydomain%.co.nz" (Replace %mydomain% with my domain name, I've removed it for spam reasons)
If I do what it says and "Touch to sign into your account", nothing happens.
I was able to fire up the Play Store just fine and immediately install alogcat, dump the logs and we now have:
http://pastebin.ca/2162717
It seems to be OK at the moment (I'm posting the logcat for future reference partly for myself), but I'm about to install SMS Backup & Restore, Gmail, G+, YouTube and Chrome Beta and will see if the results continue. Those will be the only apps I'll install for now, just for testing purposes, as I notice the issues a lot when using G+ / Chrome.

[tgascoigne]

Thanks for all your help testing @ChillingSilence :) I'll leave this one open for the time being until we're sure

[ChillingSilence]

I'm surprised, doing it this way around seems significantly better? The "tap here to login" didn't disappear from my notification bar until I rebooted.

Still, if this is how it has to be "done" in order to resolve the issue, then I'm more than happy to do it this way...

Happy to help @tgascoigne , any time :)

Logcat one:
G+ not updating (Was on 3G at the time) - http://pastebin.ca/2162786

Logcat two:
Gmail inbox on the app not updating when manually pushing the "refresh" button (I had another email I'd read 10 minutes earlier on my Desktop I was expecting) -
(Search for %REMOVEDFORUPLOADTOPASTEBIN% for the parts where it fails)

Logcat three:
Taken 23 seconds later, still on 3G, tested Chrome Beta to make sure it wasn't just 3G being stupid. Definitely worked fine:
http://pastebin.ca/2162790

You should see most of Logcat two is also in Logcat three coz they were taken so close together :)

This g+ issue seems to be present in TeamNDVRu tree as well, im still testing this. may be a generic issue wtih G+ and current cm9 tree?
@ChillingSilence do you have your gnex with latest nightly? is g+ notification working with that?

[tgascoigne]

I doubt this is app dependant, the logcat suggests that the system just cannot contact the server. I'm still curious as to whether this might just be an SSL issue. I'll try and replicate this and have a play around.

[tgascoigne]

So I've managed to replicate it, and I think I've found where the problem might be. Could you try this boot.img for a while and see if you still notice it?
http://tom.gascoigne.me/boot.img
I think the issue is resolved for me. It didn't work after first boot, but after a second boot I haven't been able to replicate the issue.

[tbalden]

what gave you the idea that changing a read only device to writeable might help? it's a device to be read from userspace, afaik

[tgascoigne]

The problem is that qtaguid can't untag the sockets, to do that it needs write access to /proc/net/xt_qtaguid/ctrl, which it doesn't have, as its throwing permission errors to the logcat which coincides with this issue. By giving it permission, the logcat error messages disappear and it looks like the problem is solved.

[tbalden]

That's a good reason. But shouldnt we find out what runs the qtaguid untag and give the process proper permissions? i mean user/group for that service? maybe its not possible

[tgascoigne]

If this is the root of the problem then we can look into it later

[tbalden]

yeah. i'll try to test this. thanks for the quick replies.

[ChillingSilence]

Flashing it now, will keep in touch, thanks!

EDIT: My GNex is running the Google-built AOSP builds whatever from their site... Not CM9. Technically, I gave it to my wife when I got my One X, and she doesn't like me mucking around with her phone. Bad things happen when I try.... ;-)

[tgascoigne]

qtaguid is part of libcutils, so any processes using sockets need write access (including apps). Is there a group that all apps run under that we can give permissions to?

[ChillingSilence]

Nope, issue persists with that boot.img
Flashed it, when it rebooted it came up with the "optimizing 1 out of 83 apps"

Turned off Wifi
Pushed power to put the phone to sleep
Went to my laptop and emailed myself. Email came through within about 3-5 seconds to my Transformer Tablet. Phone stayed silent.
Went to the toilet, came back, still no dice.
Woke the phone, went into Gmail app, hit the little "reload / refresh" button at the bottom.
Nothing
First logcat: http://pastebin.ca/2163053

Tried it again, still no dice.
Turned on Wifi, went into Gmail app, it came through almost instantly.
A G+ notification from 2 minutes beforehand also came through at the same time
Logcat from after it worked: http://pastebin.ca/2163054

EDIT: Search for %REMOVED% to find the relevant bits....

EDIT: Stupid github can't get it to email notifications to my secondary email address ....

[tgascoigne]

@ChillingSilence Could you give it another reboot? It took me a couple before it worked.

[ChillingSilence]

Sure, why not :D I'll post back in about half an hour.

[ChillingSilence]

Anope :(
Still occurs....

Refreshed, nothing. Refreshed again, nothing. First logcat: http://pastebin.ca/2163066

Put on Wifi, forgot to refresh coz I got talking with a workmate, and within about 20 seconds it came through. Logcat #2: http://pastebin.ca/2163067

Keep in mind it's also G+ amongst other things, but it's just easiest to use Gmail as an example coz I can easily trigger things (emails) to it.

[ChillingSilence]

I can do a factory reset after flashing that boot.img if you think that'll help?

[tgascoigne]

Nah, don't think that would help. I'll keep playing..

[ChillingSilence]

Ok cool, ping me if you need me to test anything more :)

[ChillingSilence]

OK so you may be on the money there about it being SSL-related coz I've noticed that Gtalk works the whole time... Was out at a customers site with work today and noticed that although Gmail / G+ didn't work, GTalk (IIRC Port 5222) does!
