hey folks,
I have been following all the Milestone development threads since the very beginning, and have gone through each inkarnation of kabaldans incredible work since CM6. Recently, I updated to CM10 (first without, now with 2nd boot) and am absolutely amazed by how far our good old milestone has come. While playing around with it quite a bit, I have come across some problems (I would love to report them in the appropriate development thread, but the 10-post-count won't let me unfortunately.)
First, I really loved the keyboard multipress-system since I live in Germany and have to enter Umlauts very frequently (ä, ö, ü, etc.). The multipress-system sped that up greatly. Now, although the corresponding settings are there in the Milestone-specific part of the Settings-app, multipressing actually doesn't work for me in CM10. Is that problem specific to me, or is multipress not yet fully integrated in CM10?
The second thing I noticed (probably since 2nd boot, but I am not entirely sure) is, that in the Settings under About Phone > Status neither IME nor Serial number are displayed (instead, it says "unknown"). This also prevents me from launching Whats App - it quits saying "Your phone could not be identified ....".
Does anyone else experience those issues - and/or could perhaps somebody please post this into the CM10 development thread, so kabaldan notices?
thanks, mvol

I have issue like this, and I can see IMEI and IMEI SV, but the Serial Number is "unknown".
after doing a full wipe, IMEI now shows up for me as well, but unknown serial and multipress problems remain.

Maybe wiping everything is a solution for that?

Hi mvol,
I am running the new CN10 10/24, the seril reports also Unkown but it doesnt stop me from running and using WhatsApp app.

WhatsApp now works - it looks like the full wipe which solved the unknown IMEI problem also fixed WhatsApp.

here using the shift and alt is working normally above 2 keys simultaneous ... not tested on that specifically, you will use more than 2 simultaneous keys?
with "multipress" I mean the feature invented by nadlabak/kabaldan that allows one to press the same key multiple times very quickly to enter special characters (like pressing "a" two times very fast producing "ä", for example.) It worked perfectly for me in CM7, but it doesn't anymore in CM10...
anyone, please?
It works fine for me. I use it frequently.
mvol: I still haven't found the time to implement the multipress feature completely in CM10. Only a few of the final bits is missing. Please be patient.
thanks for your answer - in that case, I'll wait patiently

Hi All,

Thanks
Hello people!
I'm a long time CM ( 6 and 7 ) user on my Milestone.
After updating it to CM10 ( full wipe, ext3 partition formatted ), adb does not find my device anymore.
I have changed the USB settings and enabled the debugger in development, but nothing changes. Even after a restart.
Running on Ubuntu 12.10.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
The issue I have is quite annoying, if I can use such a word in a development stage . After each restart, the network is being forgotten, so I have to switch to the airplane mod off and on.
@pt0: This is a known issue, if I can say that. I experience this too, though not after every restart. I think it's a problem we can live with.

The original thread is a complete mess and it's impossible to find posts detailing CONFIRMED bugs. Let's try to keep general discussion of the leaked 2.2 ROM in the original thread and use this thread for bug reporting.
THIS IS NOT FOR HELP/PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION OF THE LEAKED ROM. Only post here if you have the leaked ROM up and running and have encountered a bug.
Post here you think you have found a bug. If it cannot be repeated by multiple users, it's not a confirmed bug, but more likely an improper installation or software conflict of some sort.
If a potential bug is posted by someone and you can repeat it, please quote the original post of the bug report and "Confirm" in body of your post. If multiple people can confirm that they can repeat the bug, I'll update this post and list it. If someone posts a bug and you know a fix, quote their post with your fix (or link to thread with fix) in the body of your post.
I'll try to keep this OP updated with a list of CONFIRMED bugs and fixes if one is known. If your bug is already listed here, please don't clutter up the thread by posting it again..
CONFIRMED BUGS:
1) Some purchased apps will not show up in the Market. Fix here
2) Multiple reports of recording in 720p in the camcorder causing a FC or screen freezing
3) Multiple reports of problems with MMS:
a) Handcent seems to work fine (no reported problems with MMS)
b) Stock Messaging appears to be hit-or-miss (MMS works for some, not for others)
c) Chomp seems to work for some people, not for others
4) Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738188)
5) Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading (confirmed by multiple users)
6) Streaming Audio Quality: "decline in audio on pandora as i listen to it bluetoothed to my stereo and now the sound has a major decline in quality" FIX: there is a patch for that works, but it hurts the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though. Fix here. Use the UPDATED fix, not the original one (original one is only for fixing Market)
7) Swype: multiple users report that Swype will stop working (cannot "swype", only tap keys) after reboot. Others report no problems. Sounds like a Swype install problem for people having trouble? FIX: Toggling Input Method off Swype and back on Swype seems to fix the problem.
8) Multiple reports of data connection dying off. lower bars on data then dropping from 3g to 1x speed. Intermittent WiFi connection dying as well.
9) Multiple users report poor battery life
4) Original Gmail app has some issues, puts a 0 at the top of messages and gets messed up during some replies. Fix:Install working gmail.apk (Fix here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738188)

If someone sends me a list of confirmed bugs and fixes then I'll add it to the main thread.
lets mention the streaming audio quality. there is a patch for it that works, but it murders the Quadrant benchmark score. the linpack score remains the same and the phone still feels just as fast though.
I've had 3G not turn on from a reboot now twice. Had to reboot to get it to work.
hrm
I couldn't get backup assistant to work, it won't connect.
delete my post please
Sending is fine. That's my fault. I'm an idiot.
Browser FC when hitting the back button while inital page is still loading
My phone has been running slower and hotter since flashing the 2.2 leak
Maybe add to #4 about Gmail that once you copy the fixed gmail.apk and reboot, you may get infinite Force Closes from Gmail. It happened to me. The fix is to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Gmail -> Clear data. Then you'll have to open Gmail twice to get it to work.
When connecting to a PC with a data cable, and going into disk mode, I am only able to access the phone storage, and not the sdcard.
I have received a few MMS messages in Chomp tonight and they have worked fine. Not sure what that bug is about?
Quick question, does anyone have the ACTUAL 2.2 OTA update that is signed and completely untouched from HTC that would flash using a stock recovery? All we seem to have is the modified / rooted version, ide like the legitimate copy if possible

Of course its out there. However you won't have root if you use it. The rom is EXACTLY the same as if you applied the OTA. Except a little older radio and you get to keep root.
Plus it has the same bugs... At least VZW/HTC knows what bugs this has, 5300 beta testers so far. The official OTA should be flawless.
Anyone else having an issue with Wifi? I installed the new radio, rooted and installed 2.2 as advised. Everything appears to be working fine for me (camera, Market, etc..) but when I attempt to connect to the same router that was working when using 2.1 it keeps looping at 'Obtaining ip address ...' but will never establish a connection. I googled Froyo 2.2 wifi obtaining ip address and got several hits for other phones running 2.2 but nothing so far for the Incredible. Any thoughts? Anyone able to get wifi working?

I never once had any issues with wifi. Grab the logs and send 'em to me and I'll see if I can find anything.
I'm noticing an interesting thing with Swype. After most reboots I can not "Swype" only use the keyboard. The workaround is to change my input method back to the stock keyboard and then back to Swype and it works fine. Anyone else noticing this?
Greetings,
Just a few days ago I installed the most recent CM 10.1 nightly, first 20130319 and now updated to 20130323. For the most part, my phone is working well, but I do not have any 3g data service nor have I had it since installing CM 10.1.
I have a Droid 3 XT862 being used in the US on Verizon's CDMA network and placing and receiving calls works. I *can* send and receive SMS as well, although in a test I did toay I sent very short 25 character text from my Droid 3 on the Verizon network to another Android device on the Sprint network and it arrived a mere 2h15m later.
I have read many messages on this forum and others, but either the problem addressed is too far removed or the ideas/changes suggested are offered with little explantion as to why, so I am unsure if making any of these changes would be a good idea. I did read through the build.prop on my device and it certainly appears that it is more or less configured and ready for CDMA usage. I have performed a *228 PRL update, but it did not appear to help. CM 10.1 makes available, unlike the stock ROM, a menu/page full of mobile network settings. I have tried to work with some of these settings, toggles, preferred network types, and so on, but again none of these changes seems to have had an effect on my 3g data connection.
Am I doing something wrong? Does anybody know how to fix this? Or perhaps it is a new/temporary bug in CM 10.1?
As for the operation of everything else under CM 10.1, I like it very much. It is a very big step up from before, when I was first using stock Android 2.3.4 followed by the Maverick ROM, which, while better, sure liked to crash/reboot when under memory pressure. I do have a few issues that I hope others might be able to help with:
* The hardware keyboard's ALT key does not appear to work anymore which rules out half the symbols on the keyboard, making it far less useful. I also cannot use it any longer with VX ConnectBot as some of the mappings do not seem to work. For example, the "OK" key used to work as a CTRL key. Maybe these are related? Any idea how to fix this?
* The backlight on the hard buttons and on the keyboard was, previously, triggered by a light sensor (I think). Now the backlight comes on when there is any tapping, swiping, or button/key activity. That's fine, except that the timeout for the light is extremely short, on the order of about two seconds. In a dark environment, this can be annoying.
* It's slow... my god is it slow! I think this is due almost entirely to a severe lack of free RAM on the device, but I don't know what to do about it. Some programs, like GMail, take forever to start, while many others are just very slow to use/respond. I see the "Not Responding" popup appear *much* more than ever before, but, as I know these apps are just slow and not dead, I always just tap on "wait" and go on with what I was doing.
I really don't think I have that much running in the background or foreground to use all of this RAM. I have replaced Trebuchet with NemusLauncher in hopes of freeing some memory. I have three widgets only: a clock/weather widget, the standard calendar widget, and the Google Voice inbox widget. In the background, besides whatever Android and CM run, I have Google Voice and imo (the instant messanger) running. I believe that is it. Is there *anything* I can do to improve the speed issue? I understand how Android handles memory, so it is clearly not about just increasing the "free RAM" value. That said, however, it seems that if there were fewer apps trying to use the limited memory then this would naturally be higher to begin with.
I have a decent collection of apps, but the number is much smaller than in the past and most all of them should remain dormant unless I actually run them... or so I believe.
Okay, so those are the issues. I could add battery life and the camera to that list, but I have read on the forum that, no thanks to Motorola, the camera is unlikely to be available anytime soon, and I have also read that the battery issues should be resolved soon.
So, um... please help! And great many thanks to all of the hard working devs who bring us better software and especially to those who help those of us with devices that are practically *new* and yet abandoned by the carriers. Extra kudos to those finding ways to work around locked bootloaders and proprietary binary blobs.

Can you force it to EVDO only? And what happens in a stock ROM?
In the mobile network settings page, as mentioned above, I can, and have, tried many of the options. Among them is the preferred network type.
It defaults to 'global' which actually sets it to LTE/CDMA, though this is not an LTE device. I have tried all of the options that make sense (i.e. nothing GSM related). I have tried Evdo-only and currently have it set to 'CDMA/Evdo auto'.
None of these settings has changed anything. To test, I disable WiFi and see if I have a Net connection.
With the stock ROM, as well as the Maverick ROM, when I have 3g, the letters '3g' appear in the status bar next to the mobile signal strength icon and there are two small arrows to indicate I/O. This is what I expected to happen with CM.
-Sent from my XT862 using xda app-developers app
I have a 3g update, but no solution yet.
In the mobile net settings page I have the network set to 'CDMA/EvDo auto'. Then I turn on airplane mode to force the radio off, then turn airplane mode back off.
The radio comes back and as it does I can see the network strength icon briefly add an R, presumably meaning reconnecting, followed by a 1x, and finally by a 3g. Then the 3g disappears. This entire sequence takes only about 3 to 5 seconds. If I do this while viewing Settings->About->Phone, I can see the current radio/network states change. Of course, I do all of this with my local wifi connection off.
Also, I did try a network type of 'EvDo only' and the above sequence still occurred but without the 1x step. However, this sequence didn't seem to occur as reliably as when the network is set to 'CDMA/EvDo auto'. For reference, the phone info page under settings indicates that this phone or network is 'CDMA - EvDo rev. A:6'.
So, it would seem 3g is at least possible, if fleeting. What should I do now? I really don't want to stop using CM 10.1.
--John Gruenenfelder
Same issue here. No 3g. In the system status, it will briefly show the mobile network status as "connecting" then drop back to disconnected.

In my case, I, well, did not follow the correct Safestrap update procedure when I went from 1.x to 3.05. As such, I *think* my stock ROM may be slightly hosed. I *do* have a complete backup of the original stock that I created with Safestrap 1.x, but 3.05 does not "see" it when I tap on the "Restore" button in recovery. So, I have it, I'm just not sure what I should do if I really need to restore that backup.
However, I have installed the Minimoto 1.7 ROM into slot 2 in Safestrap 3.05 and if I use that ROM (which is a super stripped down Droid 3 stock) then 3g works just fine. I did not have any network/connection issues and did not need to take any extra steps to get 3g to work.

Really? Good to know. Thanks for the info.
If I might reiterate on my other CM 10.1 problem, they keyboard? Right now, the ALT key does not work which means that I cannot access most of the punctuation keys. Strangely, in many apps when I press ALT I will see the cursor change with the upside down triangle at the top of the cursor bar indicating that ALT has been pressed. Good, but if I press any other key it is not recognized. It is as though I had not pressed anything. The ALT indicator doesn't even change or go away. The only thing I can do is continue to press the ALT key to cycle through its states (off, one-key, locked). Could this also be a bug in CM 10.1?
Is there a better or more correct location to submit these issues? Since these issues are/may be bugs in CM 10.1, should I not submit a bug report directly?
Beyond the 3g/data and keyboard issue is the RAM usage. It uses a *lot* of RAM. Is this just the way it is? The Droid 3 lacks enough RAM to really make a serious go at Android 4.2?
Thanks again!

When Motorola hinted that this was the reason why the D3 and X2 would not get ICS, nobody believed them.
I think it's pretty clear that CM on the Droid 3 at the moment is alpha/beta status. If you want stability and full features, you need a Gingerbread ROM. Minimoto is best for me.

+1 anything above gingerbread is not stable. Some people manage to use them for daily drivers but they have to deal with the bugs. Myself, I need a camera and I need my phone to work all day, I use it for my job. As such, I run minimoto, as it is quite stable, and any bugs that do arise can be dealt with as it's based on gingerbread, which is stable on our devices. Liberty is also a good rom to use, it's based on an older system version but it's quite stable and has lots of features, as opposed to Minimotos minimalist goal.

has anyone tried making a swap partition for cm10.1 ?
I made it and it seems to be much much faster or the latest nightly (04/07/2013) is quicker.
anyhow I have it up only for about an hour it remains to be seen during the day how it's reacting

Have you (or has anyone) successfully booted CM10.1 on the XT860? I just get bootloops after install. MiniMoto has been working great for me though.
Hey guys,
I'm back again, maybe not as often as before but i'm here to make a committed attempt to fix those annoying reboot issues some of you guys appear to be experiencing. Remember what my initial aims were for my rom?
Fast, Stable, Elegant and most of all USABLE
After many, many PM's about this issue, and my many weeks of not being active here on XDA i have decided to take control and try my best to fix this issue for those experiencing it. However, i would like to remind you all this fix will take a little time, because i want to gather all the relevent information required about which carriers etc... This issue occurs most to.
Things We Know...
Incrediblitly annoying
Perhaps a APN issue
Perhaps a SIM register issue
Maybe something else....
If you have an idea what it could be, post what you think it is with some evidence to prove that there isn't something quite right.
I'm open to suggestions from you guys, as your opinions are important too.
Okay lets get started....
Okay so this is how I would like you guys to report where you are and if you have had any of the aforementioned issues listed above, the more feedback i get the more information i will have to work against, so let's get started shall we?
This is how I would like to report to be written, copy and paste this part, and word it with your relevant information:
Hello i am currently running (A version of the revolution series roms) and i will list which country i am from, and which carrier below:
I am from---- (Your Country)
My carrier is--- (Your current, or most frequently used carrier)
My Mobile data does/doesn't work out of the box (Do you need to input your APN setting to make data work?)
When using any Revolution Based Rom I do/don't have the Reboot issue. (Again if you do have the issue exaplain how long it takes before it happens)

If you guys can post your reports in a similar way like above, it will be easy for me to pick out who is and isn't having issues.
TIP: Send a Logcat too.
THis is where feedback will be organised.
Hello, I am from the planet Earth and reside in the area of North America and to be more specific I live in southern Ontario, Canada.
I am with Virgin Mobile Canada.
I am running ReVoluTioNMoD v3.4
Dont use mobile data so I cannot report on that topic, sorry!
I experience reboots when watching YouTube videos and only when I am watching videos. It happens about once a week, I watch an hour worth of YouTube videos a day.
I think I did it right, right? I can't logcat because of it's weird reboot pattern. I switched to the old 767MHz Nameless kernel and the 832MHz Promethus kernel and reboots still happen.
Leafs waht r u doin
These may be caused by the kernel frequency, it is so high that sometimes it will reboot if you'll lower the frequency the reboots should fly away.
Using Revolution 3.5 on Desire C
Used the 722mhz boot kernel and had occasional rebooting
Strange thing was most times it would reboot in my pocket when phone
was not doing much and freeze up when using play store
But when went back to stock 600mhz boot it was rock solid, so it seems people may need to clock down a bit
Need a boot kernel at around 680 mark for me
Hi all, I hope I can provide reliable good news: LG support says some providers made some changes to some repeaters (e.g. E-Plus in Germany). They have a solution and provide us with an update released around the end of October.
Now is probably a good time to point LG to some of the major problems introduced with the JB update (4.1.3), as the new Update will likely be a smaller improvement of the latter.
In my case:
- very slow return to home screen when closing apps and problems navigating the home screens, when some more icons and widgets are present
- can't write onto external SD with some backup apps (e.g. Super Backup)
EDIT: I would be totally happy about a way to port the updated system files, once they are out, to other Roms (e.g. the ICS Stock Rom).
I'm extremely skeptical that LG would release an update for our phone. Are you sure our model is on the list?
I called them personally regarding a prior support case (repair order -> "no error found") because somebody reported the techs had replaced some parts (new IMEI) and solved the problem. I wanted the same for my P880. They told me about the changes to some repeaters, the upcoming update, and the soon following update for the P920 (?) Optimus 3D.
I am as surprised and sceptical as you are. But as I have read about this update from a second, independent, source (the German forum at AndroidPit.de), I am starting to believe and, thus, spreading the news.

Can you please point us to that article on androidpit.de. Thanks
I Tried to find but no result.
See here (look for "FETTES UPDATE" on top of the page):
http://www.androidpit.de/forum/562054/lg-optimus-4x-hd-reorganisation-interner-prozesse/page/2
Sorry, this is a German post. Although the writer confused repeater with router, P920 with P990, and another user confused software and hardware update.
EDIT: My support guy explicitly statet that this will be an OTA update. I am sceptical, as it happens often with LG that updates have to be installed manually/via PC. Very likely he meant that I won't have to "bring in" my device again.
I just called them again and explicitly named the increasing delay when returning to and browsing the home sreen as the major problem with the official JB rom on the P880. If some hundred more users do the same, LG hopefully addresses the issue as well.

I just don't think that some repair guy from LG can do anything else then told you what you want to hear and mark it as solved. I think they are just waiting till you buy new device. I'm lucky because I have no such problems with RIL. I disabled PIN protection and installed Mahdi. Now I sometimes (once per day?) can see no signal for second or two but it's ok.. no problems (there is no way for no signal, I'm living next to the mobile transmitter and I usualy have full signal bar). There is only one thing which gets me so angry - lags, usualy when listening music from youtube on background and browsing the Internet. My friend with Galaxy S laughs when my phone gets his lucky mood and he sees it, his phone is more smooth then mine, it's crazy.
Of course, this might all be a big hoax. BUT:
By now, I know of three different people who got pretty much the same information from LG support. Although you never know, for my part, I wouldn't like to suspect that LG internally agreed on certain standards on how to efficiently lie to their customers in this particular matter through personal communication - especially by giving an approximate release date (end of october) for the update AND outlining the release for the P920 as well. But that's just me thinking positively of other people and of the future.
Btw, could you elaborate a bit on this Mahdi thing you mentioned? I tried different Roms (Cyanogen, OmniRom) and none of them solved the RIP (Reorganizing internal processes) issue. Plus I unsuccessfully tried to fix it with EPRJ RIL implementation following this guide (experts might go *facepalm*, I tried anyways):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496075
Therefore I came to believe that RIP (my ideosyncratic acronym) and RIL are two pairs of shoes. No? Also, I don't really understand, what PIN protection has to do with anything.

Mahdi is mod like Cyanogenmod, we have unofficial support from alfsamsung (he's great developer) you can find the thread in Optimus 4x development section (without "original"). He did a lot of changes in baseband driver & ril. Btw that reorganising bug is only in stock isn't it? I think in CM based roms is only crashing ril and asking for pin again or full crash of ril and baseband driver so you have to reboot your phone.
When I was running stock I never saw it (that reorganising..) I only saw someone talking about it here on xda.
I'm not optimistic because LG said that our phone won't get any update in future. I just don't think that they changed their opinion because of few people crying to their hotlink.
I'm so sorry about my english, my skills are just terrible
An update for Germany is out:

Looks like the problem is gone!!!
I bought the Nexus 6 (blue, 64gb) the day one, in November and since that day I noticed random reboots in a particular situation. When I switch to a WiFi network to another it shuts down and so I have to turn it on. When it turns on I have lost all my WiFi networks configurations, so passwords, dhcp settings, etc.
Random reboots rarely happen also in camera/gallery apps.
I tried to send it back to google and I received a new nexus. The first one was produced in June 2014, the new one in December 2014. The issue is still there. [emoji17] I've also tried to update to 5.1 but no resolution.
I have rooted, installed twrp, decrypted both my nexus 6 with toolkit.
How can I solve the problem? I was very happy with this phone.
Try using it completely stock and see what happens. I'd say chances are that if you set both up the same, it's something you're doing and not the hardware on 2 different phones.
But other people have made the same basic mods on their nexus and their phone has not this kind of issue.
Is it every network? Maybe try a stable custom ROM to see if it happens there too. Could be a problem with specific networks or even apps. Troubleshooting is the key. First try full wipe, no restored Apps.
I could be as simple as an app the developer has not updated since gingerbread or something stupid like that.
Is there a way to find the malicious app?
There definitely *was* a bug causing loss of wifi networks, and I think there may also have been a reboot involved there (not sure if we rebooted it manually, or if it just did it on its own as a response to a wpa_supplicant crash...). It was across the board for Android 5.0 though, not limited to Nexus 6. I saw my wife's Nexus 5 do it once. Never actually had it happen on my 6.
I'm not sure if this bug was fixed or not, since it wasn't something we tried to reproduce, and only happened once. The bug is definitely related to wpa_supplicant, since that is the only program that actually interacts with its configuration file (which is where the wifi configurations are actually stored).
As far as galleries go, you're not giving much to guess by. I certainly haven't seen galleries cause reboots like that. Maybe you are using a bad one?
Try this gallery; https://github.com/lbdroid/Android-Binaries/blob/master/Gallery2.apk
That is the actual AOSP gallery, modified to install as a standalone application. The source code is in another repository on my github.
*note: it will not do you any good at all to swap out your phone, since there is no indication that you are experiencing a hardware issue.
But why other people doesn't experience this problem that is related to WiFi? All people use WiFi and every time. Is there a way to fix the WPA_supplicant issue? Maybe a custom ROM?
My first n6 had also an hw issue, I think, because before it rebooted it gave me some little "buzz" from the top speaker.

all people use WiFi is an incorrect statement. you can say most ppl use wifi, but all would never happen. I hate using WiFi and NEVER use it except when its absolutely necessary. ive probably used WiFi 2 times on my n6 since getting my n6 in November, and there's no WiFi issues here.

Yes, start with stock and install a few apps at a time until you get the problem. Given the fact that you have 2 different phones experiencing the same problem, it is much more likely that it is something software related rather than hardware (though I suppose it could be possible if you're really unlucky ).

You said that it happens when you change from one wifi network to another. Most people don't do that. Most people have one wifi network at a time and don't change it.
There is also a huge difference between wifi network configurations... A/B/N/AC, frequency, bandwidth, multiple-bands, encryptions, etc.

Normal.
