General question about 3rd party roms - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me or does it seem like the reception quality is slightly worse when we have anything other than 2.1 roms? I've updated my radio, prl, and my profile but it's still choppy. Anyone else have this issue or better yet, a solution? Thanks

I thought the same, but i only notice it when im running the tazz4.1 rom. Downloading apps were so slow, but now i switched back to aosp+cm7 and it downloads faster.

If your running any aosp or cm7 based rom. Try switching the radio on the fly. Via the test menu. After you select the radio you want to use just switch airplane mode off for ten seconds then back on. Works wonders for me. And I even added a short cut on my home screen for easy access plus you can add the airplane icon on your pulldown tab.

Updated to froyo and went back to CM 5.0.X Why?

I just tried froyo and it was awesome! But i missed my trackball wakeup too much.
Did anyone else try froyo but revert back to CM until he releases a froyo version and how come?
Just curious and wanted some discussion
I did cause this is just a test release of froyo and is still a little buggy. I'm waiting for the cm version. To flash

Same. Messed with it a few hours and went back to CM5.
I am getting triple the battery life with froyo... sticking with it until CM6.
For trackball wake download no lock.
I for one came from cyanogen and his roms awesome for a 2.1 rom. But its not 2.2. I love flash and can't get that from 2.1. Trackball wake was hive but can use no lock till cyanogen releases a froyo rom. The speed is alot faster imo on froyo 2.2 vs 2.1. Apps open faster and placing widgets on screen opens faster. The capacitive buttons are way more sensitive and the speakers seam louder. APPS TO SD stock is great on so is having memory although on custom ya get those. Just my opinion froyo brings a all alround better experience for me. Only thing I miss from cyanogen is the stock trackball wake ( no lock for now) and full 360 rotation in the browser. Other than that I'm golden. And the reception seems better with this radio ( although you can keep that and go back to 2.1)..
Everything is not for everyone
And I lime the pinch in gallery thing.

Mine lasts longer with more use with Froyo. Will flash CM6 the second it is released !
Got Froyo as soon as the rooted version was out...Just dropped down to CM5.0.7.1 tonight.
- I seriously miss the trackball wake too
- A few games (Asphalt and Super KO Boxing 2) and apps (TuneWiki and MountUSB) are either flaky/unstable or flatout don't run
- Since having Froyo, I've had to reboot the phone at least 4 times due to touchscreen calibration going completely out of whack.
- Overall it's definitely fast, but there were definitely hiccups/lags here and there that weren't big deals on their own, but the accumulation of them got annoying.
I've tried JIT out before on eclair and Froyo (while definitely much more stable) feels like it's still got some of the JIT quirkiness.
I'll likely give it another go as soon the rooted official froyo is out...But I'm definitely chomping at the bit for CM6 action!
got a question come to my mine, those having Froyo issue did them wipe all before install?
I find the Froyo is damn stable and no such mentioning issue.
Asphalt run perfectly.
Running perfectly smooth.
Trackball Wake? - just use lockbot pro and you have trackball wake and lockscreen customization.
Battery life guarantee better than any previous Eclair ROM, this include CM ROM as well.
No touch screen alignment issue.
No radio issue.
* Everything is perfect, the only I miss now is 7 home screen, hope CM can increase to 7 home screen by using the default launcher. I also miss the color changes of status bar clock and notification font. Another wish CM implement this function as in CM 5.0.7.1 in coming CM 6.0
I updated to Froyo and changed back to CM within a couple of days. The reason for it is right now I am travelling in Asia and using wired LAN connections to my laptop. Then using a program called connetifyme that uses the laptops wireless to share the wireless lan connection over an adhoc connection. Froyo would not connect to ad-hoc, but CM does.
Once home next week I'll put Froyo back on again.

The battery life in froyo is an improvement.
Battery life opinions are useless unless you have at least some data to back it up.
For example, I used to get around 16-18 hours a day before I had to charge. Now, I can usually last almost 20 hours.
i would also miss the black notification bar from cyanogen as well. can froyo be updated with metamorph to use the desire notification bar? that's another thing i want to update to froyo and maybe switch between cm5.0.7 and froyo, but would like desire black bar in froyo as well.

Do any of the cognition versions have a gps fix?

I'm running the stable cognition 2.1 version.
Or do the 2.2 cognition versions have a gps fix in them?
I hate running beta versions which is why I'm not running 2.2.

There is no real GPS fix that I know of. You can play with the lbstestmod to try and improve performance.
Captivate
Cog 2.2
Latest CoG version runs great.
GPS works well in the car but you need to have in a dock on the window. If you have it on the chair, wont work, it will tell you that you're in Moscow
None of the 2.2 versions have any modifications for GPS. Some of the earlier 2.1 versions did, you can check DG's download page and the change log shows whats in each and when he removed the "fixes".
I have had better luck with the 2.2 versions but Im on my 3rd captivate and I can say that my 1st one sucked in comparison with me 2nd and 3rd. My first was just a lemon, I hosed the second and got a replacement as the 3rd. The only setting that has seemed to make much of a difference for me is going with cold start versus hot start but that could just be me and what I "think" helped.

If you have a phone with a working 3 button combo, try shep s rom based on the jpm i9000 build. Gps could lock in my living room and locked/tracked well while moving. The reason why I mention the 3 button combo is for some reason, that rom does not let you into down load mode with the vol + plugging in usb so you could perma brick your phone.

Well, it works for me
Yes and no. Froyo has decent performance but soema are haveing problems. I personally see a problem if i leave lbs test mode running too long. Lbs can get a lock better than google maps. So sometimes ill use it first if i have troubke getting a lock. But it will turn the gps off after some time on my phone( icon disapears feom notification bar). After that i see the chip turn off at a regular interval in google maps. Some software works without a hitch like my tracks. Some seems to cause a similar problem. And some is touchy. I might sugest trying an alternative software like navdroyd. And if you dont get a lock at first just be patient. The error on my phone doesnt seem to be universal and only a factory reset fixes it. Still i dont recomend changing the lbs settings just incase. If you dont get a lock go outside with a clear sky and let it try for at least 10 minutes. In google maps you will need to prevent it from sleeping so you might want to try an alternative program. Once you get a lock you shouldnt have trouble getting another one. But some are still sating they have poor gps. Either there are alot of negafive people or the gps performance is inconsistant. It may just be a hardware issue. For navigation in your car you might want a bluetooth gps antenna. The phone should otherwise work for walking around.
edit: i have no dificulty navigating in my car with no accesories. Even with the phone on the pasenger seat. Other than the one error which i have been able to prevent lately my gps works great.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
My GPS is fine if i give it a pretty much vertical view of the sky through the windshield. If i set it on the passenger seat or in a cup holder it performs terribly.
This should have been asked in the Roms thread instead of opening a new thread.

[APP] 50% time without a signal fix - 2/2/2011

App: xtr50fix Android 2.1 only.
I made this app to try to help those with the 50% time without a signal issue. Learn more here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-647980.html)
The one trick that works with most 2.1 Eris ROMs is the airplane mode trick. All you do is put your phone in airplane mode for a little bit and turn airplane mode off and it fixes the issue.
Basically all this app does is upon boot, puts the phone in airplane mode then waits 12 seconds and then turns off airplane mode. Finally, it kills the service so it won't run again until the next reboot.
I know it's not elegant or anything, but it seems to do the job. There are no settings and there is no icon for the app. Just install the .apk and reboot your device.
Please let me know any feedback you might have... good or bad. Thanks!
2/2/2011 - v1 - Initial build. Seems to work fine on xtrROM and xtrSense.
Added some checks to make sure you are not already in airplane mode upon boot.
Sounds interesting, thanks! I just went back to xtrSENSE so this is perfect timing.
has anyone tried this app yet?

Yes, that works as well, however, you still have to do that every time you boot up.
This seems to have worked on my optimus v. Thanks for your efforts!
Prior to this, I was constantly getting the 50% without signal mess...
Works perfectly on my Optimus V. Thanks so much for developing and sharing this fix.

I'm only replying so you don't feel ignored. No idea, myself, but can you do a nandroid on the X and try flashing this to see? You might be the first person to try, so you can let us know if it works!
For the record to everyone, this seems to work just fine with Gingerbread ROMs, too.

Lol appreciate it! Unfortunately it didn't put my phone in airplane mode when it booted back up.
I don't have a Droid X to test on... however, I did compile the program with the Android 2.1 SDK so it should work on anything with >= Android 2.1
Note: Don't flash this program. Just install the .apk like normal.

Thanks Zach! Glad you included it. I bought a Motorola Droid off my friend so I don't use an Eris for my main phone anymore. I'll have to test this out on my mom's Eris which uses xtrSense!
This app fixes the 3G drops with my Optimus V. If anyone is looking for automated reboots in order to automatically apply this fix every day, I use Phone Prioritizer.
Thanks for this. Hopefully my battery life increases.
Can someone tell me how to install the fix on an Optimus V? I tried downloading it directly and I get a message saying it is unsupported. I also tried installing it from gmail and it didn't work either.
I am about ready to return the phone if I can't get it to work.
Thanks,

Make sure in settings->Applications-> you turn on Installing Apps from Unknown Sources.
TWS/data drop fix
The fix50 app did fix the TWS problem on my optimus but didn't seem to do much for the battery or fix the data drop issue. I ran across this fix posted by greenmonster on an Android Central forum (http://forum.androidcentral.com/optimus-v/57943-excessive-battery-drain-even-standby.html):
To fix the issue, dial *#*#4636#*#* and it will load the testing screen. You do not have to press call. Select phone information.
My understanding of the bug is that even though the preferred network is set to "CDMA auto (PRL)", it is actually set to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)" because of a display bug.
The fix is to press Menu and then "Select radio band". The process will then force close. Go back to Phone info and select "CDMA only" and then select "CDMA auto (PRL)".

I'm going on day 3 now (no reboot) and have had a noticeable increase in battery life an no data drops that require an airplane mode toggle. Any way this might be made/incorporated into an app similar to fix50?
Data drop/TWS update
So I finally had a hiccup about 9:00 last night that caused a data drop- it was right after I lost a phone call & during a pretty serious storm, so don't know if that affected anything. I'm still pretty happy- I've never gone more than three or four hours without having to do the airplane mode toggle due to data drops- 60 hours without a drop is encouraging!
Time without signal also stayed in the single digits...
Installed and working on my Captivate running Froyo. Good stuff.

Droid 4 JellyBean...The Good, Bad, and the Ugly

So, now we have it. But we need to look at the new "issues" we're all facing. Because we're going to need some help.
The Good
We lost a lot of Blurr (thank ya Jesus!) We have a faster, better camera. A more optimized kernal for what seems like an OS with lighter thumbprint. Its fast! We can disable dozens of needlessly running apps/services. New gallery is beautiful.
The Bad
We lost the "Exit" button in the browser. Google+ is in everything with options defaulting to send anonymous usage and target ads based on our data. Auto sign-in/up is everywhere. Nova Launcher keeps getting killed by Android Battery life seems way off. Factory reset is pretty much a requirement. Clock app is super weird. Verizon bloat seems like an extra appendage that won't be amputated. Smart Actions is still broken.
The Ugly
The font is terrible. No amazing wallpapers added.
We have ALMOST a Nexus experience. What are you guys seeing with update, and what problems have you fixed? I'm super concerned that I can't "Exit" the browser. I don't like things running in memory.
I love the new update. I got it from the soak test early this week. I did not wipe first. My nova launcher has never been killed and phone is running perfectly for me since Tuesday. Love it!!!
Sent from my DROID4 using xda premium
I'm loving it. It's so fast and less bloatware. Browser can't "Exit" just like all JB roms on all devices. We also lost sleep mode on power menu. Good to see we still have mass storage usb mode. It's been removed in all Moto new lineups. This is the best ota update I've ever applied on my Android devices.
The Good & Ugly!

Just last evening I checked the System Updates on my unrooted Droid 4 and there it was! Upgraded it.
Project Butter lives upto the mark. Works smooth like butter.
Font, could've done better.
The ONLY UGLY issue am facing:
My data from the network is somehow locked, or in short, not working. Visited Vodafone gallery & they checked the settings, which were fine, but still the data is not working by the network.
NEED HELP!
Please, suggest me how I can make the data work on my Droid 4!
Please!
Currently my phone is technically paralyzed because of this issue!
Nova works fine with me too.

I have several friends and relatives with Droid 4's and RAZR's. These Jelly Bean updates have been hit or miss with results.
-One Droid 4 was a brand new phone with date code 03/13 and HW B. This phone received the update quickly and smoothly. Operation has been perfect.
-Another Droid 4 had date code 16/12 and HW A, never rooted or modded, update failed 3 times, left the phone soft bricked, had to be SBF'd back to ICS. The new update will just not play nice with this phone, so it will need to be replaced.
-A RAZR MAXX got this update smoothly and battery life has been great, no lags or hiccups.
-A regular RAZR got this update and battery life is horrible, the phone gets hot, wiping cache and data did not fix it. No prior issues with ICS.
I'm guessing that Motorola may have used different components in different batches and some just will not run properly.
the shift button on the physical keyboard likes to stop toggling occasionaly. rebooting the phone fixes it for a while.
when it stops toggling, you have to push [shift] and [1] to make a "!", instead of [shift] and then [1].

yes i noticed this too. it's a little annoying but i think there should be an update to the update coming out soon. right now id like to figure out how i can reflash with jb possibly using rsdlite as i did with ics but someone said flashing to ics now would brick my d4. im getting random reboots like once a day, but i think it may have something to do with my attempt at installing lbe which sent the phone into bootloop. so i want to clear it all and start from the top.. but how?

Matter of fact, I had the phone root'ed, stock tether enabled on ICS. Unrooted the phone to get the update to install and once upgraded to JB, my tether was still working, so the upgrade did not reset the value in the SQL database.
Works brill anyhow.

Weird - I'm pretty certain it had reset for me during the upgrade.
My D4 had the stock rom + the Google Now hacked into it, plus the latest version of Hashcode's CM10, which I'd been using steadily since the Bluetooth bugs were fixed. (Around two weeks ago.) On the stock ROM, I'd always had issues of the phone occasionally (often) going crazy with background processes or something where it would heat up quite a bit and the battery would drain quickly. I also had intermittent Bluetooth issues with my car connection, where it often wouldn't connect, requiring a reboot or toggling BT, and it would sometimes lose the connection after a call.
Running CM, it stayed cool and had much longer battery life, and BT worked much more reliably.
Removing the Google Now hack to install the JB update wasn't going smoothly, so I ended up just using RSDLite and wiping the phone completely then installing the JB update manually (it wasn't showing yet as an OTA.) It's definitely faster, BUT...
The Shift key often doesn't work correctly, as has been mentioned here
Bluetooth is wonky again and I have to tell it over and over to pair with my car
Mobile data just stopped working yesterday, even after rebooting, until I manually turned off and on mobile data
Battery life is atrocious; it has been getting hot a lot and I'm probably getting not much more than half the battery life that I got in CM. Looking in the Battery info, Screen is usually the biggest battery user, but I always have it either set to Auto or to a very dim display. Looking at CPU usage shows nothing obvious. It's common for the battery to get to 95-100' F or higher. Right now it's behaving and only at 72' F - it must know that I'm complaining about it.
I'm hoping that we'll soon see (if we haven't already; I haven't checked yet) a CM based on the new kernel, so we get everything working but with the better battery life and such. Video was the only issue that I was still seeing with it.

I wonder why they axed sleep mode, I used that a lot. Does CM or AOKP still have it?

I've noticed that I'm seeing 3G/H notification in the notification bar while connected on WiFi. It didn't do this in ICS. I wonder whether that's just a cosmetic change or whether it has an impact on battery life. I've not noticed the shift problem, but the Caps Lock light doesn't seem to work any more.

Invisiblek's 4.4 12-30-13 Nightly Impression

I can't post this on the Milaq thread (where most of the invisiblek discussion is) so I thought I would post it here to give anyone else a heads up.
The Good:
It's a fairly stable kernel and all my apps run seemingly just fine. I mean I've only been running it about 5 hours but not a single FC. I did have a weird bootup glitch that locked it up right away after install but after that I loaded all the apps just fine. Super exciting to see it so far!
The Bad:
Screen pixelation/tearing from left to right, especailly on grey backgrounds. Something is up with the video driver/gpu voltage. Certain icons like the Settings sprocket will have a few pixels that will flash and other times you'll see lines all the way across the screen. It might be color specific. I was playing Quadropus Rampage and never noticed it but then went back to the home screen or typing an e-mail and it's very much there.
Pandora plays music fine. If you turn off the screen while playing, horrific things happen like ZZZZZZZZZZZZ and then hard lock. I didn't like that station anyway..
The "OK Google" voice command doesn't seem to work though voice typing does. I'm pretty sure this worked on the Milaq build of the same date.
It's a bit slow and CPU is stuck to 1188. There is a bit of a lag switching apps but I don't notice any core functions slow.
The Different:
The home button doesn't wake up the TP. Only the power button.
Can't say anything about battery life quite yet but I'll keep a gander on it. Battery hasn't been a super concern of mine because I plug it in ever night
The Different:
The typical 15 second reset switch mult-button key is more like 3 seconds now. I like this a lot better.
Positive:
--backup and restore work
--it is getting much better.
Negatives:
--Microphone does not work, so I could not use any vioce search or voice dialer/sound recorder.
--Free game "F.S. Xtreme" has black box issue.
--Youtube still has reboot issue.
--TV streams app "syncbak" has similar reboot issue.
My wifi keeps shutting off and won't restart without reboot. Not even sleeping. Other than that it runs nicely.
Switched to milaq's 3.0 kernel.
The CPU is pre-configured to run at much higher 1.5Ghz, yet the 3.0 rom is still able to run very stable.
I am waiting for camera fix to enable video calls.
Since both 3.0/3.4 rom are using the same CWM, it makes 3.0/3.4 rom switch very easy.
Waiting on Flintmans as it is the only non data media rom. Not a big fan of all the repartitioning. For several reasons. Good to see choices still available. God bless the developers for all their time and effort. Wish I could do what they do.

I flashed 3.4 rom (0103) over 3.0, and tried briefly.
--3.4 rom seems running OK, except it runs relatively slower at 1.1Ghz.
--camera is not working on both 3.0/3.4 rom.
--Free game "F.S. Xtreme" seems not compatible with 3.x kernel. It also cannot run on Samsung S3.

Still does it. Did that soon as rom booted as per the Op.

Same here. Also double check that the setting took. I swear I unchecked it and it went back or didn't take the first time. Perhaps give it a toggle or two. I also noticed that if wifi turns off, it won't turn back on.
Anyone else having a problem with rebooting from within CM and it just goes to a blank screen?
Dirty flashed to the 1/5 nigthly. Reboot issues seems gone now, or just that a reflash has fixed mine specifically.
Just noticed that there is an official thread over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592909
Hopefully I can post there too!

Negative on the posting. I'm still seeing the bzzzz when the screen shuts off while playing music. Have disabled the mic (I think). Curious that nobody on that thread has reported that quite yet.
I'm very excited to see all of this development on our old TPs! I'm currently running Milaq's latest 3.0 kernel test build. It is running almost perfectly for me! I cannot wait for 3.4 to finish getting smoothed out. I've tried Invisiblek's builds out, and they currently seem a little laggy compared to Milaq's 3.0 test build. Great work all around though! Thanks to Invisiblek, Flintman, Milaq, JCSullins, Dorregary, and all of the others that I haven't mentioned who have contributed so much of their time and skill toward keeping our Touchpads relevant, even competitive with the current crop of tablets on the market!
