Hi,
Im just curious how to track down the reason for reboots with stock ROM and stock kernel, not rooted. I had one random reboot yesterday (when watching trailers in the IMDB app) after almost a week I own N7. I know that one reboot in a week is nothing, but its my new toy and Id like to know how to track down the reason for that in case it happens again.
I found out some threads about this and generally it says I should use LogCat - but I dont know how to use it. So I please ask for help! For now, I started Stability Test (CPU+GPU) and wait ...
Happy New Year, Y'all !!!
EDIT: Ghardashyan a bit lower mentioned hes been having reboots when watching youtube videos. Anybody else having this kind of behavior? Also, I had my reboot when watching trailers in the IMDB app - its playing via youtube, right?
The ONLY reboot I have ever seen, is when the default lockscreen widget gets updated by the marketplace. It's guaranteed to reboot on 4.2. It does it every time on both my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7.
You will only ever see it, if you remove the default android 4.2 lockscreen time widget and put something else there from the marketplace, and only when that widget gets a marketplace file update.
Perhaps you are seeing this? Do you have auto-update apps enabled???

I dont have auto-update enabled. I added another time/weather widget to the lockscreen but I dont think it got updated yesterday ... I will remove it and hope it wont reboot again. I sure think it was some app as the stability test goes for 2 hours without problem.

Its to do with location based services, HD Widgets is a major culprit and stated they were talking to Google to try and resolve the issue, it is also as stated before mainly because of the new lockscreen widgets, which HD Widgets also provide, so the stock widget could also cause the same issue?
Mine have pretty much stopped with the last update of HD Widgets, but it does still occur.

Just for your information, I dont use HD Widgets
Since you're on stock rom and kernel, I think the best way would be to reset your device and keep track of what applications are installed, one at a time.
My guess is that one of the installed apps are causing it..

I know that, but as it was one reboot only in less than a week, it could take months to track the app down ... :laugh: Im about to restart the device myself and then use alogrec to continually record stuff.
EDIT: Alogrec is not recording a thing, so I rooted my phone. In case of restart, I believe it should be enough to save last_kmsg. Am I right?

I had my reboot when watching IMDB trailers - which also are on youtube, am I right??
BTW Is your problem repeatable? Eg. is there any time watching youtube that quarantees reboot? Id like to check that ... And are you using the youtube app?
REALLY?
Check out the thread 4.2 Random reboots instead of making new threads.

Correlation does not equal causation and it seems some are eager to go barking up the wrong tree. As has been stated here, as well as confirmed by Google, it is a bug at the OS level. It has nothing to do, per say, with HD Widgets, YouTube, or any individual app. It affects all products running 4.2 and 4.2.1.
Until Google fixes the issue, there are only two guaranteed workarounds- disable location services or downgrade to 4.1.2.

Thanks, never heard of that. How do I disable Location Services? Should I just turn off the Location access menu? Or is it a service under running services? In that case, which one?

Settings › Location. Bear in mind that the tradeoff is that, among other things, Google Now will no longer be functional.
For me, the reboots haven't been annoying enough to warrant disabling it on mine just yet.

Great, thanks. :good: I disabled that for now and will turn it on only when I need navigation. I dont use Google Now anyway.
BTW, when Google finds a solution for this, should I expect a full system upgrade?
Just experienced my first random reboot while streaming a flash video on Firefox Beta..
Random reboots are annoying me as well with my stock unrooted n7
Mostly though its during wifi/network activity not just in one app, have had reboots while in youtube, ebay, chrome etc. I have also seen it reboot while in standby
All started from 4.2
Would be interested to know if these reboots are reported back to google?

Hello, I'm on Cromi-X and running the Sixaxis app and a PS3 controller. I have no problem with the basic functionality - it works just like it does on all my other Asus tablets. However, I have found one kind of big bug and I was hoping someone else could check this for me on their systems. The problem I'm having is a crash every time I try to open up a background image to make a touch profile. This is the "Change Background" button under the "edit touch profiles." Every time I select "Change Background" it crashes (actually it says Unfortunately...has stopped), it doesn't drop back to desktop, only to the previous menu level in the program.
I can build a touch profile, drop buttons and joysticks and it will work, but it's very much trial and error process without being able to import a screenshot to overlay while you are working. Has anyone else seen this? I tried uninstall, re-install, closing everything else, etc. I've been searching and cannot find anyone else posting about this type of crash (on any system) so I wonder if it is something unique to the TF701T or maybe Cromi-X (I'm on Deodex 6.1 and love the rom). I am hoping that I am not the only Sixaxis user running Cromi-X 6.1 at the moment. Note that you do not have to have a controller on or paired to test this - you can create profiles without needing a controller. Thanks in advance.
Hello friend.
I was running your setup exactly... however I've never tried to create a touch profile. As you, I did find that everything else worked properly on that ROM with sixaxis. It's a great ROM! If I decide to flash back to it, I'll give it a shot and let you know. Sorry I can't help.

I've never used it before but it seems to work for me. Not sure if I am doing it right
Main Screen Select
Menu > Preferences > Touch Emulation > Edit Touch Profiles
Then Double tap for menu > Change Background
I have an option for either Gallery or G+Photos and I select Gallery then I find the image and it's good.
Gallery version is 5.1.20131213 which is the Asus stock version (I think)
Did you maybe change your screen resolution? I am no the default.
You know what, I think your reply might have helped me figure out the problem. I don't see gallery installed and maybe this program is calling it. I'll look back, but maybe the 6.1 version of Cromi-X has it on the removed app list. I'm traveling, so it might be hard for me to restore it, but I will definitely give that a shot when I get back home next week. Thanks for the help.

Seems sixaxis needs the gallery.... and sbdags removed it. He just doesn't remember why :laugh:
Yes, that fixed it. Weird. Thanks.

Not that weird. Devs tie their apps into an existing eco system. Why not use services that are installed by default instead of duplicating it? We custom rom users are a tiny minority among Android users. So we'll always have to find our own solutions. Which is part of the fun, right?

He does now! It's because Asus called it called Asus Studio (not gallery) which is more than just a gallery but is full on picture editing (bloatware)
Anyway - you can also add it back in via the asus spps installer as well via post two of the CROMi-X 6.1 thread
Hi,
I have installed Cm 10.1 advised by @jcsullins using his great tool Touchpad toolbox to have stable ROM as it is for my 4 year old. as I am away i cant see it myself and set it up. I guided my wife through phone and she was able to install all. It is working perfectly. I just need to know is their any where in CM 10.1 a setting to create profile or restriction so that My 4 year old don't delete thing and go to settings ?
Thanks for your help
There is this app on Google play http://babyturtleapps.com/apps2.html the link is for there Website incase you don't have an android device with you.. Child lock comes as a lite version l guess to try out with ads and limited to 4 apps or pro which removes ads and app limit for £1.20. The reviews seem good.
I hope this helps.

I know about apps and most of them i tired sux big time, either they have too much add or limit the app to their own apps or they are so heavy that they slow the tab down.
But I saw that a lot of tab devices have a built in feature to create profile to lock acces to settings and all apps, that is why i asked if CM has such feature?

I'm not familiar with any parental controls but have you tried a Lock app? Something like LockIt? I can't post a link.
I was just exploring random things on the M Preview and found an app called "com.motorola.triggerenroll" I downloaded QuickShortcutMaker on the Play Store and attempted to open it, but I got the error in the screen shot below. Has anyone else seen this? Also, is there a way to get this working? And, more importantly, is this actually a sign Moto Actions is coming to the Nexus 6? Or, is it the more likely scenario of wishful thinking on my part?
It's on lollipop as well. Don't know what it does

I posted this on Reddit and somebody pointed out an AOSP commit that says this is for the OK Google everywhere command. Although I disabled this app and was able to set it up just fine, so it seems pretty pointless.

its for ok google to work, when the screens off and not plugged in. its part of how we got it to work on all roms, back in december. since it wasnt included in aosp for some odd reason.
Anyone know how to get Android native sip working, can't find it in phone settings...
Used an activity launcher but it didn't make any calls...
Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk
Not sure if there is a native client, but I know Zoiper works for me.
necroing this here, i just purchased two of these for my kids to play pokemon go. They have FI data only sim cards and typically use my PBX to place calls. The native sip functionality seems to be missing in the settings. I'm considering using a custom rom which will likely resolve the issue, but I've heard of issues with custom roms and pokemon go so I was trying to avoid this route.
Any input regarding the native sip functionality or specific roms for this phone that work fine with pokemon go AND have working native sip would be appreciated. if your reply is about using a third party app, i'm well aware that they work and such comments are not helpful. thanks.

If you have root, you might be able to replace the stock dialer with the latest google dialer. I'm trying this today and will let you know how it goes.

awesome, looking forward to your results. I briefly checked play store for the google dialer, but didn't see it. I considered loading gapps but i couldn't remember if the google dialer was included in any of them.

It would be listed as Google phone, not dialer , for some reason. It is in the open gapps package. And there are ways to add the needed framework and just the dialer if wanted.

i am pretty certain that the open gapps install script automaticly disables or removes the old version of apps that it installs., so dont think you need to use the de-bloat beforehand.
Now Im gonna try to install the gapps too to see how it goes.

Gapps installed fine. Took awhile to start after. Needed to "optimize" 47 apps.
It has google phone. But I do not know where or how to set up "sip" of "voip" on this dialer (or any for that matter)
EDIT:
google just showed me this. Dont know if it works for sure but , here it is.

Great! thanks for running through this! If you're interested in testing sip functionality, PM me and i'll make you a sip account on my PBX. It's US Nationwide calling and Canada.
I'm assuming arm is the appropriate architecture, being that it's an arm cortex a53. I looked through each edition of gapps and I didnt see anything that included google phone. Should i assume it's simply built into any version of Nano and above?

I re-read my post. It was not clear.
I do not have the menu for sip account. So something is missing from phone app.
It is version 10. XXXX
on my other phone(blu life max) running slim-rom and open gapps. The phone app is version 9.XXXX and it has the sip menu
I will try to find the gapps I installed on that phone and see if it is v9 vs v10 that is the problem of missing menu first.
If I get the sip-menu then I can follow up with trying your pbx if you want.

Still same missing sip menu using older gapps with v9.XXX dialer. Must be some stock rom interference with the settings. If camera is not a problem for you then the cm13 port might be an option. OR . The zen rom port has working camera, and has not had too many reviews. I will try to add gapps to that one and see if it has sip menu.
It's not a huge deal, I'll just run csipsimple for now. The kids use the camera for catching Pokemon...
Offer for sip service if you want to play still stands regardless, just hit me up. I appreciate your help!

the zen-ui rom has finished and it does not have sip-menu. Installed the gapps on it and still missing the menu.
The slim-rom I have on my "life max" is same rom used to port to r1. So my last attempt is to flash that rom and see.
But my port is not fully working. Audio drops out and camera stops working. But if the sip menu (voip) is there, then it is a rom problem. But if the menu is still missing, that tells me it has to be a kernel problem. All the roms have same kernel.
UPDATE:
yes the sip-menu is shown with the slim-rom port.
so this would be the 'native" option.
I have not spent time working on the rom in a while. I was hopeing for community help to finish. But that has not happened.
My current position with the rom is, I beleive the main issue remaining is the audio/ media server stops and rom needs reboot. This server stop is seen in the logcat. But i do not know why yet. And after it stops the camera server becomes unstable, then it stops.
I have seen , but not tried yet. An app in playstore that is meant for addressing the problem of camera server stopping. It is supposd to be able to restart it with out restarting whole phone.
Im planning to keep slim-rom on for few days or more and explore this app as possible work-a-round
Uninstalling the stock phone app and trying to install Google Phone from apkmirror did NOT work. Don't try it; I was only able to restore a working phone app by restoring /system. Maybe something in build.prop is disabling this? I might look around and see if this is a possibility; CSipSimple works perfectly though if people need sip support, as others have said.

there is support files needed to run google phone(dialer)
this thread has an apk installable modifed app
and in the workaround sectioon near bottom of first post there is section on how to install support files and apk mirror link to working version.
problem is for some reason the sip-menu still does not show in stock roms.

I took on trying to fix my lineage and slim ports because of this sip phone question.
I now have a solution for sip phone on stock rom.
It is same solution from before that did not work, I found so reason it did not work. Blu had intentionaly removed the permission to sip and voip.
so if still interested in getting sip without third party apps. Here is a recovery install zip, that adds the google dialer framework, apk, and needed /etc/permissions
there is warning in the gapps install about adding google dialer that is also relivent here. Default phone app must be set to this goole dialer and also recomend disable stock dialer.
Wow, you rock man! Thanks for your efforts on this!!
