[Android] Data usage cannot work with 3G mobile connection

[charleshuang]

Hi,

We are porting our 3G modules on our i.MX6 product. It can connect network & browse websites, but we find the data usage does not work.

In Settings -> Data usage, the measurement always shows 0.00 Byte used.

Because we do not have the support 3G modules for Freescale demo board, could you help to double confirm if this feature is available on BSP Android jb4.2.2_1.0.0-ga?

    HUAWEI EM770W modem

    Infineon Amazon 1 modem

    ZTE FM210 modem

Furthermore, I doubt this issue may be caused by netfilter. From logs, we gets lots of xt_quota errors that make BandwidthController failed to send iptable commands.

Additionally, Jelly Bean 4.2 should be based on Linux kernel 3.4.0, but Freescale BSP is based on kernel 3.0.35.

I'm not sure if this difference will cause such problems.

Hi Yixing,

No. The issue is not fixed yet.

@ Jay,

As your suggestion, I try to run iptables directly on console, but it still fails.

Here is the error messages.

[Send the commands as what BandwidthController do]

130|root@android:/ # iptables -I costly_/dev/ttyUSB2 -m quota2 ! --quota 9223372036854775807 --name /dev/ttyUSB2 --jump REJECT --reject-with icmp-net-prohibited res=256

Bad argument `res=256'

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

[Send commands without res=256]

130|root@android:/ # iptables -I costly_/dev/ttyUSB2 -m quota2 ! --quota 9223372036854775807 --name /dev/ttyUSB2 --jump REJECT --reject-with icmp-net-prohibited
xt_quota.3: illegal name

iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.

Best regards,

Daniel

Hi Yixing & Jay,

We prefer to know if this issue can be also observed on FSL demo board, rather than dig out the problem.

So, could you try to verify this issue on demo board with Android jb4.2.2_1.0.0-ga BSP?

Maybe you don't have 3G modem in Taiwan, but I think you may have internal request channel to do this.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi Jay & Yixing,

Based on the result on Freescale board, I think this issue may be caused by 3rd party.

You can close this discussion.

Thanks for help!

Best regards,

As Jay mentioned the issue is not on Freescale board, you may try to dig the root cause on your HW. Please communicate with Jay for any further questions/issues, otherwise, we would like to close the discussion in 3 days.

Thanks,

Yixing

[JayTu · Accepted solution]

We verified the functionality of 3G(TX/RX) on our platform. This issue is not related to Freescale BSP/driver from current discussion. If you need help on further tracing OS/APP level, our Marketing should have 3rd parties good at this for you

Hi Daniel,

The purpose to run iptables directly is to dig further the problem. I didn't mean the solution is to run iptables.

You can check why it got the error. From the error message, looks like the parameter is wrong.

It looks like iptables didn't execute successfully,

01-24 11:00:24.735 E/BandwidthController( 2200): runIptablesCmd(): failed /system/bin/iptables -I costly_/dev/ttyUSB2 -m quota2 ! --quota 9223372036854775807 --name /dev/ttyUSB2 --jump REJECT --reject-with icmp-net-prohibited res=256

Suggest to run iptables directly on console and look into. We need more exactly clue to help check it if it is FSL platform issue and we don't have 3G modem in Taiwan.
