[Q] "Wi-Fi Turning off..." repeatedly after sleeping before reconnecting.

Using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 eMMC.
I noticed my Wi-Fi takes a couple minutes or more to connect after the Nook had been sleeping. So I went into the Wi-Fi settings and I see "Wi-Fi Turning off...", then it comes on, then it turns off, and repeats over and over.
Eventually it will connect. Any idea what is causing this? This is a freshly install ROM. I've wiped it and reinstalled it and still have the same problem. And it works fine after a reboot, seems to only be a problem when it's gone to sleep.
I also installed Spare Parts and set the Wi-Fi sleep profile to never (this problem was happening before installing Spare Parts by the way) however that doesn't seem to prevent it from sleeping either.

I get the same thing. I'm assuming its a kernel thing, but I don't know, I'm definitely not a dev. Its happened in all the nightlies I've flashed, though.

yep this is a kernel issue i believe as it was better on the older kernels. i think it has something to do with your security settings.
try changing from wpa/wpa2 to something else perhaps?
i went to cm7 17 and so far it has been flawless. earlier builds were almost as bad though so i'm not sure if it will last.

That started happening on mine too. I just installed the newest kernel, that clean black theme, and nookie froyo. Prob the kernel.

It seems to help me on my nooki froyo 0.6.8 to put it back in standby by hitting volume up and power button at same time, then waking it back up and waiting for wifi to turn on usually within 30 seconds. It does not help and actually seems to make it worse to go into wifi settings to watch its progress.

Known issue with dalingrin's kernel. Go look on in the development forums.

Wifi Problem

Every other thread I see about a wifi problem kinda describes something different. My wifi messes up coming out of sleep. It will just keep connecting and disconnecting. Is their a fix for this? This is the only reason I left CM7.

This seems to be a common issue. I just turn off wifi before I hit the power button to sleep my nc. When I bring it out of sleep, I just turn wifi back on and it usually connects pretty quickly.

Which build are you using? And have you tried using a newer build?

The same issue with Nookie Froyo.

double post, please delete

I had the same problem with earlier builds of CM7, but switched Wifi sleep policy to never and am running CM7 nightly 19 and it no longer happens (still takes 30 seconds to a minute to reconnect if the nook has been sleeping for a long time). Now I have problems when I first turn the nook/wifi on!
I suggest updating to the newest CM7 and see if it's fixed. It doesn't seem to be specific to any one setup, but actually comes down to the individual nook.

I had the same problem with Froyo.
The problem went away after I swapped the OC kernel with stock one.

Hi! Can you tell me how you flush the stock kernel. I did the stock 1.0.1 via Rom Manager and it will just shutdown as soon as I login. Thanks.

I have the same wifi issue. I'm using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8. Everytime when I start my NC, the wifi turn on and off. Seems it's searching the signal? SOmetime it takes 1 or 2 mins. to reconnect! Originally, I thought that's hardware issue. It seems now this is a common issue for NC?
I read some post here, is to keep the wifi on, even when the NC sleep, but this will drain more battery.
Is there any better solution?

This happens with my rooted eclair NC as well. I'm now 99% sure it's an inherent NC issue. I though it was because I use Juice Defender to manage Wifi, but if manually turning it off can produce the same effect without the twitching wifi signal, then I'll do that instead.

Is there any app or method to make the wifi work better? Or is there any rom that can solve this issue?

device reboots while playing games

Hello, guys
I have an optimus 2x SU660 which is basically a korean version of the P990. it virtually has the same hardware with the p990 except this version has a digital tv tuner and a different button configuration.
i have been having a problem with the device rebooting/crashing while playing games regardless of whether these games use memory heavily or not. sometimes, it even reboots/crashes while surfing the internet or when i tinker with the phone after playing or surfing.
i recently installed CM 7.1 to try and see if the issue could be fixed. thankfully, the device crashes or reboots less compared to stock gingerbread (V20J) but the issue is still there.
are any of you experiencing the same problem? i used to think the processor heat causes the reboots and crashes but sometimes, it still faces the same issue when the phone is used after being on standby for hours.
by the way, my phone does not reboot or experience reboots or crashes or BSODs when left charging alone as posted by some users here. it only does so when in use.
I hope somebody can enlighten me

Should be returned for repair.

i had this odd problem a while back with stock GB roms.
but the games i was playing were graphically detailed, but what i found to be an issue was the permission for accessing the networks, both wifi and data.
it rebooted because it was changing the wifi on and data on at the same time that made the phone shut down. a bug in the rom caused the shutdown from the networks.
but the game was causing the networks to change on / off to get access to the internet.
this may not be your issue.
but try a rom with a recommended baseband and ril. and see if the phone restarts when you change youe wifi on / off and data on / off.
if you get no shut down. try the games again to see.
hope this helps.

Permanent and annoying issues with CM7

Hello,
I've been using Cm7 latest KANGs since months, they're all good but there's ALWAYS been problems in every cm7 build that makes me hate this phone when it happens.
The problem is that they happen randomly with no apparent explanation!
problem #1
almost every week it happens that the phone drain battery very fast and gets a little hot. The reason is "suspend" process running wildly in the background.
What is it and why doesn't happen always? Solution : reboot, after it drained half your battery
edit : now "mediascanner" took the place of suspend
problem #2
every 3-4 days if you never reboot the phone it gets to a point where its slow and slightly unreactive. When you surf with Opera you notice a struggle to process data like something is using the CPU, the reality is that nothing is.
The worst part about this is when the phone is in that state and you do something that involves a cpu process you hear a noise form the speakers like an interference it's very difficult to explain. If you happen to listen to music in this state everything that you do makes the music lag like if it restarted every 1/3s of a second, like when you try to playback some video from a source that has a slower reading speed than the video bitrate itself. A jerky playback.
Solution = reboot.
problem #3 every month the phone (even on silent mode) "screams". :| that's right, from the speakers you suddenly hear random "leaks" of loud and high pitch sound things for NO REASON.
"problem #4" the front facing camera is just bad it doesn't adjust to the light with auto exposure compensation. It has very bad banding and digital noise things on the image. I thought it was a driver problem in cm7 but it happens in stock too. This problem didn't happen in the first nightlies of cm7.
Are those bugs reported?
I'm currently in problem 2 and I'll just let it do its thing just to see how funny the battery graphic will look. In 6h runtime I have "suspend" using the cpu for 30minutes and going.
I tried every kernel.

i have the same problem as you with suspend i dont know what it is, but anyways my battery is not that bad after 16 hours is still 58% medium usage.
we can try asking temasek if he has a clue.

I also have problem #3
very strange, happens sometimes even when the phone is on silent, and it's been sitting on my nightstand for 7hours without me using it (plugged in)
it also happens sometimes when it's not plugged in and I'm just browsing the web
(seems to happen more often when viewing video's)

What annoys me most its problem #1 . It's just unacceptable to have something for no reason draining your battery when you phone is sleep mode, even worse when you don't when it will happen!

#1 - I rarely have this issue but it doesn't drain my battery.
#2 - I don't hve this issue
#3 - I don't hve this issue
#4 - I use LG modded camera so no such issue.

Now I have it and I can't get it to go away!! It drains battery at about 10% per hour (without touching the device). What kernel are you using?
Can you link me the camera mod?

Got another for the list!
BBC iplayer !
On both the app and the Web page it works fine through the interface, the intro to your TV program works fine, then you get into the program and the picture is just pixelated rainbow mush! Lol!
Weirdly if you minimize the program and then resize the image it's fine!
What's that all about?

another one:
( I think its with every android version above 2.34)
if there are too many apps moved to sd card (about 50) phone works only till first reboot. once shut down and turned on again, phone keeps on rebooting. only thing that helps is putting sd in pc and delete some .asec-files from .android_secure-folder.

I had #3 before, I think it was around Temasek kang 1x.. After a dozens of flashes, I forgot it ever existed.

Im on stock cm kernel.
Here is the link for lg modded camera usable in cm7

There's another one too which is important to save battery life: sometimes the wifi connection doesn't start until you go into the wifi settings. Meaning that if you are within the coverage you won't be connected to the wifi network until you go into wifi settings. This will drain battery because the phone won't turn off the eventual 3G active connection

I tried that but I what I meant is during video calls with skype and gtalk! It shows the correct exposure at the first second that goes into wrong mode.
BTW this phone has the worst ff camera, just bad bad bad quality

haha...the speaker scream at night....
just flash CM7 (Alien Revolution) this morning,
only some minor things found:
1. have to remove the latin.apk manually to against force close
2. can't use the original screen capture (HOME + POWER),
use the option by long press the power button for replacement
3. while playing "Let's golf 3", it got force close
clear the data of the game and it's solved.
4. 2 hrs before, the phone signal suddenly drop and disconnected...
just reboot and see whether it happen again...

Hi Temasek.. will this camera mod work with MIUI roms?

I have another problem on using CM7, it's the HDMI connection. My phone doesn't displayed on 1080p mode, pic quality is awful (my LCD TV is full hd capable).
And when I played a movie and throw it to the LCD TV on landscape mode, it displayed only for couple of seconds and then blackout. My phone continued to play the movie though. This is not happening in portrait mode.
On Optimus 2x stock ROM, it is possible to select hdmi resolution. How to do that in CM7?
Thanks!

no one of the problems here!
working fine and perfect with alienRevolution 1.9.1 ! Best ROM!

Problem #1 happend to me once, i was on ETaNa Kernel 0mb (i dont know wich version) and a Temasek Kang (think it was 61)
Never happend again. Now i am on ETaNa 32mb 18th Feb. and Temasek Kang 66, everything works fine for me.

I think the battery draining issue was just a bad RIL now battery seems as it should be.
I still have problem #2 though and I can't believe I am the only one experiencing it!
I made a mistake because I was powering off the phone at night in the last month but now that I'm keeping it on at night I can say it happens after 1 day of running time.
Basically when you start using it the second day the phone becomes unresponsive, go launcher EX keeps reloading icons very often, it takes sometimes 2-3 secs to open an app after you press on it , Opera keeps getting shutting down if you check another app for 1 second, when you go back you have to wait 6-7secs for it to restart. The situatios stabilizes itself a little when you keep using it (still not that snappy like at boot) but then goes back to the same sluggishness.
Juicedefender shows in the logs that "memory is low" and for how the phone acts it does look like it but I always have 80-100MB left and even if I kill every service running the sluggishness is still there. SO what the hell is causing it? Could this "suspend" be responsible for memory leaks? Again what does this suspend do?
Here's a screenshot for today only after the overnight recharge.
And of course the phone died while I was charging screen or phone wouldn't turn at all, apparently it charged to 56% and then BSOD

Just to make sure, am I the only one where suspend uses all the cpu?

i have also tryed cm7, its nice and stable but a little bug which forced me to change the rom, go launcher always restarts and i have to force close it and whenever i put some movies and images in sd card gallery doesnt updated it and shows old files only, thats y i changed my rom.

[Q] New Xperia Z stuttering issue

Hey all
Ive had my XZ now for a few days and i'm over the moon with it. I was worried reading reviews and opinions on the screen etc but I really think its great. I have one small issue with it that I just wanted to know if it was normal, or if indeed I might have an issue somewhere.
Now, I've never used this project butter android before, but flicking between menus gives quite frequent "jumps" in the animation as soon on older android operating systems. Also, if I play any games, even basic 2D ones, I still get the hiccups in the frame rates. IE ill get a couple of seconds of it being totally smooth, and then a hiccup where it jumps a few frames. Its not a deal breaker, but it is annoying.
Now, if I put the phone into airplane mode, then everything runs absolutely smooth, no hiccups in the UI, and games run absolutely flawlessly.
Is this normal, or should it still run totally smooth regardless of settings?
when not in Airplane mode, i checked with WIFI on and off, Mobile data On and off also. Bluetooth is always off, and so is NFC. The issue only seems to resolve itself in Airplane mode.
Can anyone help with this issue, or is it normal for this phone?
Thanks in advance :good:

everything should run smooth
do you run those games from older Sd card (class 2 or 4)
maybe you should do factory reset and check if everything works like it should or repair via SEUS (sony update service)

Did you do a fresh install of the apps or did you restore them from a previous phone using titanium?

There is currently no SD card installed so everything is coming off the interal memory.
I havent done a reset or anything as I didnt think of that seeing as it was new out the box and only a few days old.
All the apps that I had previously or had bought I just redownloaded from Google Play.

Yeah, me too. I was playing Temple Run OZ and the phone get really warm and it began to show frames and lag

Well in the end, to get around the "oh so not smooth" Sony UI, i went with a different launcher called Apex. Now its running as expected. I hope the impending update to 4.2 solves these issues as its a bit rubbish to have lags and skips on a phone this powerful. But I might just keep with the alternate launcher anyway
