Cyanogen Mod 3G issues.

ever since updating to the cyanogen 4 series of roms i have been getting 3g issues. by this i mean that sometimes it doesnt want to connect to the internet from any program, like the market, google voice, or the browser. sometimes it does work, but sometimes i have to reboot the phone or just turn off 3G in order to browse the web. i am running haykuros spl with apps2sd with a 800mb ext4 partition. and im running the latest cyan mod.
can any one assist me in this?
what can i do to fix this?
do i need a new g1?

I dunno if wipe helps have you tried that? boot into recovery, wipe (alt+w)
if not, jacxrom is a good alternative to cyan, i guess...
but chances are your phone's hardware itself is fine, and you won't need a new one.

has anyone else experienced this and how did u fix it?

ive had the same thing happening lately. i had it happen tonight with just my edge connection i had to reset the phone. I also just wiped and reformatted my sd card for a linux-swap partition before flashing this rom so i know that isnt the problem.

Try re-installing the radio.

I had to do a second wipe after installed to fix the 3g problem. Since then I haven't noticed any problems

just rebooted the phone and all was well.

I dunno if this is related, but Ive been having bluetooth issues since the latest few updates, bluetooth has never been perfect for me, but when I listen to mp3s over bluetooth it almost constantly stutters, like its dropping the BT connection, because the music seems to have been going on playing while I don't hear anything.

what is with all these questions in the wrong forum? where is Mikey when you need him?
READ THE STICKIES. POST IN THE Q&A FORUM.

Mod request to delete thread: fix for BT and 3G issues
1. power down the unit with the red key. Wait a minute. Power back up.
2. Try reinstalling the radio
3. Try reinstalling the ROM, and then reinstall the radio again
5. You shouldn't have to, but wipe, re-create (not just reformat) your ext# partition (you can back it up and refill it, but occaisionally stuff gets left behind) reinstall the ROM, wipe, install again, install the radio, full power cycle.
5. (Last) post your issue
This actually belongs in the ROM forum, but not until these basics have been tried.

i tried this but still no cigar,
=[

I don't believe this to be a problem with a ROM or radio. I've had similar connection issues recently. i noticed it after flashing a Hero Theme to Cyan 3.9somethin. I thought the rom might have been the cause of the issue but a buddy of mine that i work with has a stock G1 and has similar connection issues. Also a customer came into the store who had a Samsung Highlight with similar problems, i figured it was a problem on Tmobile's End. It still hasn't fixed itself so i plan to give customer service a call in the morning and see if they have any resolutions or if its a recognized issue. I'll post back with what i get tomorrow.

MOD EDIT
Moved to Q&A forum

G1 Problem [Look out for the Monster]

Hey guys,
I upgraded my G1/Dream from an older cyanogen version, to the newer one 4.2.15.1
and now for some reason my phone keeps restarting Any reason why ?
Can you please tell me how to fix it?
I've taken battery out & Also 'green+home+red' . Same keeps happening.
It restarts when it wants, can be 2 minutes, 10, 30.. but lately ever 1 minute or so..
What can I do?

Bump

Anyone?? please

I'd recommend a full wipe and reinstall of your desired rom from scratch. Sounds like kernel panics to me.

my g1 was freezin up alot on cm4.15.1.... before it died and i had to get it replace....try unrootin and then root again and if it doesnt work it could be a hardware prob.

Why would you completely unroot and reroot? That's just too much work.
Wipe, and reflash. Also, a few apps have a problem with custom ROMs, try disabling apps that run in the background one by one until you find that your phone no longer reboots.
However, if you didn't wipe, I highly recommend that as the person before me said.

switching on/off or rebooting...... = crazy things

hey there fellas
(i'm sorry to post my problem here in the development section but i guess it might be related to the lag fix)
My SGS is acting weird lately , dunno if its related to the lag fix ( [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix 1.0 - 2.0 ) ever since i got the phone with normal use iv never seen anything funny like this. it all started with lag fix version 1 , the phone was fast and with that fix even faster , the phone was all good started with the root as step 1, then it was the market fix, after that i was tempted to try the lag fix which was amazingly effective, went from version 1 to version 2 of it and then it started.
the phone took long to respond 'sometimes' when the screen was off and after a day the phone simply didnt want to get out of standby ( black screen ) so used the boot mode and formatted the phone , once the phone started i formatted the internal sd and rebooted and applied the Root-market fix-lag fix ver 1.0 in that sequence, now the phone seems a little weird . by weird i mean strange things r happening like when i goto the apps menu the icons move by them selves in a random way after a reboot. I set it up to show apps in the first couple pages followed by games , now its all messed up and i didn't mind it at all.
with my internet provider i really have to keep an eye on my 3g usage, and have been using 3g watchdog to keep track. now i notice everytime i restart or switch off / on the phone, the counter goes back to 0 which really gets on my nerves.
now to track the problem would someone point me in the right direction ?
could it be the lag fix ? could it be the program itself ? should i switch to another ? would i need a fresh flash ? my phone is working on eclair 2.1 version I9000JXJF1 , using kies since day 1 there has been no firmware update for the U.A.E and i dont want to risk updating to anything unless its official from samsung.
any help is much appreciatted ^_^

it's interestingly weird case.
i'll start by suggesting to wipe the cache data, and data in recovery mode or
*2767*3855#
WARNING! FACTORY RESTORE, DATA WIPE AND RESET TO FACTORY STATE, as soon as you enter the last # use it only if you want to clean wipe your phone

i started with the first and then was like WTH and went with the second only to find out its the same procedure hehehe..... anyways phone is fresh now , started with rooting then off with lag fix 2.0 ( hope it dont get that same problem again ) . Now i notice there's no bootup logo when starting the SGS ( the swirling S ) but the sound still plays , is this normal ?

I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.

Are you using LauncherPro? If so, this is common behavior and might also be so with other launchers. After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.

Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
My recommendation is to update to the JM5 firmware. It's the version that's been most tested with the lag fixes. I'm running JM5 with RyanZA's Lag Fix 2.0 and SamSet 1.9e (except kernel). It works like a charm and have done so for the past week. No wake-up lag, crashes or other weird behavior.
Hope this helps, and good luck

First boot will always take longer time and might also affect the sync between the sound and animation. It's normal!

mekwall
thank you very much for your informative reply
let me start replying to what u just told me
#1
I had this exact same issue when I was using SetCPU. Uninstalled it and the problem was gone. Also some of the custom kernels are having wake-up lag.
i dont have SetCPU installed as i have tried it for a few days and found it useless , since i dont have the 1.2 ghz tune i dont see why i should even keep the app, yes i saw how the app messes with the phone so i removed it.
#2

After booting up it will sequentially load your apps and that's why they will seem to popup in a random order bouncing about in the menu. After it's finished loading everything it will all be back to normal.
no im not using Launcher Pro and i could see how it would affect the arrangment of the programs but it wasn't that. My guess is it might probably be 1 of 2 , either titanium backup or Mybackup pro after restoring the data and not the apps.
#3
Seems to me that you had a problem with applying your lagfix and that the phone doesn't store your app-data properly.
im guessing a maybe here since i dont know how it would affect my 3g watchdog's app or make it reset the counter, i switched to Network monitor ( not as good as 3g watchdog but it does the same job ^_^ )

just like i said id love to go that way but can wait a month or 2 till froyo joins the fun.

i hope its just a sync problem , but the phone gave up on the animation , after a couple of tries yea the logo simply isn't there anymore just the sound but i did notice a little faster boot up time this way with only a small vibration to indicate the phone has started.
i'll redo everything again 1 step at a time 1 app at a time , i'll delete my backups as i could do it just this time to get a good fix after a clean boot , and i guess i'll just stick with version 1 as i didnt see anything wrong with it so no need to jump to version 2 of the lag fix
could anyone tell me what app will back up all my sms/mms/call log without any trouble ? does titanium do that coz i looked everywhere and couldn't find anything regarding that
Thanx to everyone for your help ^_^
now to find a fix for that gangster game after redoing everything

ok new discovery
using mybackup pro to backup all the sms's and mms's restarted after the restore and boom
what i see now is the old background from before the *2767*3855# method and the apps linked to homescreen from before , could it be the trouble maker ?
ok now im not gonna use it and test the whole procedure all over again

ok i guess thats it... even after a factory reset the logo wont show up again T_T
any tutorials on how to flash the original FW safely ? where could i find my original FW ? thing is i need arabic lang and doubt the JW5 has it built in anyways im off for now....... ~ spends the night googling~

[Q] Random Restart problems with mutiple roms

I was running the new version of cyanogen Froyo rom (RC3) and it worked fine for about a day or two but then I started having random restarts. At first it was just once in a while but then last night it got really bad. It was restarting every 2-3 minutes.
I thought the rom was the problem so I decided to try out zachattack052 & xillius200's 2.1&1.5HERO rom but I could not get the gapps to work.
At this point I was getting frustrated so I decided to just get the newest stable cyanogen rom (v5.0.8) thinking that at least this one is known to be pretty stable. Unfortunately, I am having random restart problems again (less than 30 minutes after flashing this rom). I think it most frequently restarts when I am sliding the screen back after using the keyboard. Not only that but it's noticeably slower than the other two roms.
I am getting a bit annoyed. Is it the roms that are the problem? Is it me, am I doing something wrong? Or is it a hardware problem with my phone?
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Kernel version: 2.6.34-cyanogenmod
Mod version: CyanogenMod-5.0.8-DS
Recovery: RA-dream-v1.7.0
Programs running: Advanced Task Killer, Power Manager, Google Voice, Fancy Widget.

i have that Problem Too but then mine usually happens when its low on battery
it restarts once I take out the battery put it back in and it works fine for a while just keep it charging b4 it goes low thats what i did with mine

you just need to clean your system, run fastboot erase system -w and then try any rom you want. that should do the trick. I cant help you if you dont know how to use fastboot, in that case search for it in the forum n_n

I've never used fastboot but I am sure I can figure it out. Does doing a wipe from fastboot clean more than doing a wipe from recovery? If so I will definitely try it.
I am running KiNgxKxROM Sapphire Sense to G1 Port v1.4 right now. I like it but I am still getting a couple random restarts a day. Two so far today, both of which were while the phone was sitting unused in my pocket.

same problem
I was having the same problem, except that my G1 was with CM 6 RC2 and it does restart only when i was trying to connect to internet through wifi or 3G. If I didnt connect to internet the phone was working OK. After I made upgrate to RC3 the problem disapiered.
Sorry for my english

You can either fastboot(you SHOULD know how to do this if you are rooted) or something that worked for me was that I switched to clockwork(using rom manager app) and flashed a new rom. BTW this should be in Q&A bud.

fastboot -w bricked my phone.
after I erased everything it randomly restarted. went to the G1 screen then turned off. I have tried removing the battery but it still will not turn on. I have tried Home + Power, Camer + Power, Call + Menu + Power, and the power button by itself with no luck.
T-Mobile is sending me a new phone now.

Have you checked your battery lately? How old is it? What does it look like? Any bloating?
sent from superfroyo dream

[Q] Overheating? Logcat attached

All,
I received a replacement N1 yesterday from HTC as my previous one developed an earpiece issue. After unlocking the bootloader for the first time, it seems that the phone is overheating and randomly rebooting. I reflashed to stock, with the only exception being the unlocked bootloader using a guide found on this forum.
This was my first experience unlocking the bootloader and trying to flash a rom. I've attached a logcat to see if any info can be provided.
Thanks.
EDIT:
N1 - 1 day old HTC refurb
2.2.1
FRG83
Baseband - 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel - 2.6.32.9-27240-gbca5320

Is the phone actually getting hot?
This is why I don't get why people get a phone and IMMEDIATELY start loading custom ROMs and such on it.. Use it stock for a few days to make sure it's good.

No it's not getting overly hot. My original N1 got much hotter.
Its my fault for not waiting, I do realize this.
I did wait 6 hours or so, but I know it wasn't enough. Got a bit anxious to load CM6.1.
I had first accidentally loaded Insecure boot which made the rebooting much more common, but went back to stock, and loaded superboot. Everything was fine for a little while, then the rebooting started again.
Just trying to see if I can figure out the issue before giving HTC a call.

when i got my nexus back in early january, i dont think that i waited more than a hour before i unlocked the bootloader anyways, your phone seems fine. iy could just be the stock rom you flashed or kernel panics(i doubt). flash cyanogenmod and see if you still get the reboots. unlocking the bootloader doesnt have anything to do with a phone overheating and rebooting. besides, what is overheating? how hot does it get? ive gotten mine to 49C(120F) before

Well that's the thing, it really hasn't gotten that hot. I was just assuming it could be related as it was rebooting after sitting on the charger for a while or trying to download multiple apps from the Market. I was able to get as far as downloading ROM Manager and was part way through the CM6.1 download when the reboots from hell came back.
I used the Signed Passion FRG83 images to reflash.
I'm now attempting to format the SD card to see if it changes anything.

it sounds like youre stressing the phone(kernel). try to download 1 thing at a time for now. are you overclocked by chance?

I am not. The phone is bone stock at the moment.
Hm, it looks like i'm on FRG83 not 83D. The SD card is having some issues unmounting and i'm not receiving the OTA update to 83D

Yes - it is overheating!
My original phone did not have the problem. Every replacement phone I got from HTC crashes after 5 minutes or less on every application that made my original phone warm to the touch.
Applications that cause this:
RoboDefense
Tower Raiders
Speed Pi (run multiple times)
Curling
I am trying to get HTC to send me a 3rd replacement!

So as an update I formatted the SD card, and it seemed to have helped for a while.
I had the phone in the charger last night and was speaking on the phone for about 10-15 minutes until it started rebooting again. This time it was stuck on the X so i had to remove the battery.
Not sure what's going on...

So looking through the logcat's i've noticed these lines as failed:
E/Zygote ( 58): setreuid() failed. errno: 17
W/DevicePolicyManagerService( 78): failed parsing /data/system/device_policies.xml java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/device_policies.xml (No such file or directory)
D/SntpClient( 78): request time failed: java.net.UnknownHostException: north-america.pool.ntp.org
I'm not sure if it means anything.
The firmware was downgraded to FRG33 and OTA updated to FRG83D
Will probably be sending this back and hoping the unlocked bootloader won't make it cost a fortune to repair...
