Any solution for the deep sleep problem so far? I lose 1 percent battery each hour, when it is "sleeping"

Pipo M7 Pro RileyROM 2.1.1

The 3G version requires voltage to be elevated.

Some M9 Pro users have found a way to fix it by renaming the 3G drivers. Just check the M9 Pro threads.

The M7 Pro is similar enough to apply the same fix...especially for wifi only tablets.

Once I learn the file names associated with the kernel modules...I can make a wifi only version of the rom.

With Titanium Backup or other application you can freeze for good "deep sleep" (if you don't use):
- google bookmarks sync **
- google calendar sync **
- google contacts sync **
- SMS messaging **
- Picassa uploader
- com android backup confirm
- com android sharedstoragebackup
- com android.smspush **
- com android voive search
- Messages (SMS MMS) **
- network location **


Uninstall (please backup before) - for wifi version only because you don't need
- Mobile data **
- Mobile Network **
You should uninstall this 2 services because if you freeze only, these service works in the background...

** (important for deep sleep)

Please try and report if you have an improuvement.

Thank you again Randy for your hard work.

Youtube works great for me with this ROM.

Youtube works great for me with this ROM.

I installed this ROM and hid the button bar. Swiping bottom to up does not bring it back
I am using the Esc hardware botton now... Any ideas...

My bad i had the tablet cover on. I removed the cover and swiped from the black portion to top of the screen and it worked. But looks like it is not very forgiving and you have to start from the very bottom screen pixel....

you have to start from the very bottom screen pixel....

To hide the status bar, press the last button on the right from the status bar
From the hidden status bar to show it again: slide from bottom of the screen to the top

1. Any easy way to flash it on linux?

1. I'm using GUI rkflashkit from this forum. Works fine for me with single images as boot and kernel but never tried for entire ROM, which could be done by flashing all images one by one in theory

Skype crashing or choppy voice; YouTube app buffering

This ROM works fine for me except for two things, one major and one minor:

Major: Skype often re-starts when trying to dial. When it does work, my voice comes across as choppy and/or with gaps and with a low sound level. I have re-installed the latest Skype fresh from Google Play (yesterday). When I've tested the PiPo microphone audio with others apps (sound recorder, etc.) the sound is clear and the volume is ok. Does anyone else have this problem with Skype?

Minor: Youtube app cannot keep up with HD streaming and is constantly buffering. There seems to be lots of bandwidth remaining as download rate is only 1/3 of my DSL maximum (ie: 3mbit/s for YouTube but my max Internet speed is easily 10mb/s).

Am running the 2.1.1 ROM on an M7 Pro 3G. Skype and YouTube were tested only over wifi.

Any ideas on troubleshooting these two issues?

Thanks...

I have the same issues, but the Youtube app is almost useless. It crashes a lot.
I also have issues with the browser, it closes sometimes itself while browsing.
Almost every second boot the touch screen does not respond and I need to reset :/

I decided to return back to the original Pipo version from August, but now I can't restore the backup I made before installing this Riley rom. It fails to MD5 mismatch. Any advices?

Buffering is not present always... it happens from time to time... and it happens on some other apps too - from time to time... like web browsers and one of the apps that should download about 30 photos 300x300px from the web for working... and it is loading and loading... just like sometimes youtube and chrome.

This is a copy of a post I made on the M9 Pro thread. It also applies to the M7 Pro:

For those of you who have been having problems with wifi slowing down and not speeding back up, thanks to Finless Bob, we may have a solution.

From settings, go to the wifi setting.

Press the menu button (3 dots) at the upper right corner of the screen and tap Advanced.

Uncheck Wi-Fi optimization.

This setting is supposed to turn down wifi speed when not in use, but it never turns back up when you need it to.

I'm still trying to find a fix for the wifi not coming on automatically when the tablet boots.

I've moved it back to 2.0. Now when I try the Skype call testing service, the app still re-starts about 2/3 of the time but when it makes the connection the audio that I record is always clear (haven't tested with a real person yet). Maybe it has something to do with the performance difference I get between Riley version 2.0 and 2.1.1: With 2.0, Antutu scores 18,625 vs. 13,365 for 2.1.1 -- same apps installed. Still. Skype on my Xyboard (Antutu 9,560) worked fine (ICS 4.0.4).

Also: the problem I was seeing with buffering in the YouTube player for HD videos seems to be happening only when Bluetooth audio streaming to my BT speakers is on. I saw the same buffering with 2 other players I tried out, at almost exactly the same spot in the video I was testing with. When I turn off BT, the problem goes away and I can actually see my wifi data rate jump from an average ~600kb/s to ~2Mb/s. Something's not optimized in the PiPO.
