Ethernet not working - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

Just tried the UGREEN android OTG ethernet adapter and it does not work. Found out on google that Sony and some other companies have disabled the ethernet function despite it being available on stock android.
I am wondering if there are any work arounds for this?

Disabled in hardware or in software?
If latter then one of my custom ROMs may work.

Im not sure where it is disabled. Sony has disabled this function for their phones in the recent couple years.

I sadly can't test it on omnirom, because i don't own an adapter

But thanks, I asked it now in the sodp team (hardware support), maybe they know and you save the money

Thats great, lets hear if they have a work around.

Woops
I got told that afaik the driver is not build in.
Would you mind to add an entry there
https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker
?
So we have a todolist entry to solve

[PRJ][OS]Linux and Android on SE Xperia X1

This thread is here for information and discussion about the Linux kernel (and Linux based userspaces like Ångström distribution or google android.
If you have no clue what this is all about, click the above links and read a bit about it.
The xperia(kovsky) research information vital to porting the linux kernel is available at htc-linux.org
The kovsky is very similar to raphael, diamond and the other htc phones that are based on the QCT msm7xxxA chip. This is why the raphael/diamond development kernel code from the htc-linux project runs well on it.
Kovsky has its own machine type in the htc-msm-2.6.27 (see link above) branch now.
im kinda excited about this! if linux (& android) is able to run on the X1 smoothly, I'm definitely donating!
New thread = very good news.
If you need someone for testing then let me know.
I would be willing to donate as well.
Keep working hard everyone!
somehow i feel like setting up an X1 android version for it. since im more the "script" guy im rather useless for u if it comes to kernel development ^^
how stable and functional is the kernel so far?
and especialy, is the Wifi running allready?
hey decordes,
there is the question where to get the [email protected] files 0.8 and 1.0... (i have them. but dont know if i may provide these files while they are not from my self!)
a simple yes or no and they are available for the next years or not

afaik the wifi doesnt work. only usb0 which is laggy. (but works! you could ssh to the x1 per default.)
i am a little bit bussy at the moment (have to provide some sap-python-mysql-interface for productive use.)
but if i get spare time i will take a closer look at wifi...

kk thx.
as long i can use ssh, i'm all set up i guess

I don't know many things on Kaiser device but if you read somewhere that it use a TI 1251 WLAN then... yes, it's the same.
I don't understand why do you correlate wifi and android booting
We're talking about this wifi chip just because it isn't supported in the linux-htc-kovsky package at the moment.

i was reading a combination of things,
-wifi not working and usb0 laggy.
-log readout over usb0
so i thought maybe for the log or something, nevermind
---------------------------------------------------------
wifi not working on kaiser either so we cannot take the driver from there, but i dont think wifi has high priority...

its not related. i jsut read that the USB connection was kind of laggy so once i set up a working wifi connection i can continue working with SSH over wifi. that was the only reason.
ah... ok i think this was my intention.
most of the time i am waiting for usb0 to get any response! i cant read on the display them self... so the next needed feature for _me_ was to get a stable/responsible connection (like wifi

Hi,
very nice project. Maybe i could help out a bit
At least i may help testing and do some hardware discoveries, because i'm not a good kernel hacker.
Anyway i'm used to digg the kernel source and all the other stuff.
There are some questions though:
Those are introduced in the git repository of Mariusz "Aiv" Dalewski. Among other changes, it has the fully working xperia keyboard.

Is the git already accessible?
Maybe someone could create a patch to get started more easily

What's the exact state of USB connection right now?
Does it work on Raphael?
Concerning debugging:
Anything known about JTAG on Kovksy?
As you might know i'm addicted to this interface

http://www.htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Kernel#Kernel_for_QCT_MSM7xxxA_based_devices
The aiv code is htc-msm-2.6.27 branch plus xperia changes. I think he doesn't want to make it available publicly yet. I'm waiting for it too so I can push it to linuxtogo. You can pull the htc-msm-2.6.27 either way.
usbnet is same driver as used for raphael.
drivers/usb/msm_usb
For jtag, I think you need to wire it to the board manually.
For the raphael you can get a serial connection by making a cable that plugs in the usb port. Ask dreamkill about it. I don't know if it is wired the same way in xperia.
Hope this makes sense I have horrbile hangover
http://www.phonewreck.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sony_Ericsson_XPERIA_X1
So what has to be done is get the linux drivers for al these hardware components and compile them to a kernel to make it fully working?
that probably ist going to be easy
---------------------------------------------------------
btw about wifi cant the driver from g1 be extracted?
same hardware G1/X1
-Power Management PMIC: Qualcomm PM7540
-WLAN Texas Instruments WL1251B/WL1251FE
-UMTS: 2100MHz avago ACPM-7381
-USB SMSC USB3316
Hi dcordes,

Unfortunately right now i got no X1 for testing. Should arive the next days i suppose

I just wanted to know if there's anyone apart from Sony and HTC engineers who got some info about these testpoints ?

Have to quote myself
The patch applies fine but after having a short glimpse, this one has been extracted from the SDK. No proper Kconfigs or Makefiles
So i don't think this huge patch is intended to go into kernel tree again.
AFAIK, there's also a lot of stuff for userland inside.
Insider may know more about it!
Perhaps for WIFI on the X1 it's better to start with a more clean driver.
You make have a look here:
http://osdir.com/ml/linux-wireless/2009-02/msg00390.html
I will try to integrate the patch to current 2.6.27-msm.
There's work to do of course, e.g. SDIO support and PM.
Best regards,
scholbert
I have no idea what you guys are saying.
But Android on the Xperia is f*****g awesome!
could any1 just quickly recap how close we are on a ROM with Android?

I will ask some people about 7xxxA jtag pins and let you know if I have any information.

Right, It copies some revision (see date of file upload) of the android git ti1251. It should enable you to build the kernel module.

It's no big secret the 10M google ti1251 driver is crap and it might really be better to use that wl12xx as soon as they have the SDIO.

Apps blocked at school!

I knew bit torrent and Steam were blocked, but today I found out that Android app downloads are also blocked! Does anyone know how to get around this?

Damn... what were you expecting? A "hack" by a vpn workaround or something?
A way to change the ports of the connecting apps to the internet?
You need to set up a VPN on the outside and connect to it.
If they block typical VPN ports, then you need to configure your VPN on a non-standard port.

Alright so my Bluetooth isn't working with these earbuds: Plantronics Backbeat GO 2. My Bluetooth is working with other devices but does anyone know a fix to get this to work? It's not the headphones because I was using them with the stock ROM like 2 days ago.

Reading and learning. Finding fixes to problems before I run into them.
Speaking of... were the phone record, video call options addressed in 3.0?
---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
FYI. .. no bluetooth issues with 2.0
Phone record and volume mods are fixed in 3.0
Video call options are still present but not usable.

Link to Google Caller ID?

I am on a rom i flashed from here that doesnt include googler caller id due to proprietary reasons, which is understandable, so i was wondering if anyone could point me to the right direction to finding a way to install this on my nex6. I googled and seen kit kat links only and ports. A reply or PM would be fine. Im not sure if this is considered "piracy" if so please delete. I just want to use a feature that came with my phone, thats it

It doesn't appear to have usb 3.1 so it's hardware related. I very much doubt a software update would enable it.
