[ROM Feedback] CM 6.0.2 (09/05/10)

To my knowledge, there is no thread dedicated to the new numerical releases of CM. Let us start with the newest, CM 6.0.2.
Please post your anecdotal data, including benchmarking scores, bugs, and glowing experiences. Perhaps this will serve as an unofficial repository for issues that prove consistent.
Note: After modifying my WiFi settings, specifically disabling sleep mode while the screen is off, I've encountered no related instability.
Mail FC Fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=394316&d=1283500340
Systemic issues yet to be addressed:
-LEDs do not work save for charging
-Outgoing calls initially drop before reconnecting
-Lockups or reboots, likely stemming from SetCPU
-OS does not recognize internal storage

Does this version fix the wifi not staying on?

Did you change your settings to Never sleep for wifi and just left the wifi on? Thanks...I want to try different settings and see if I can eliminate reboots/shut downs.

are we waiting for the nightly for the newest fixes like LEDs or is there gonna be a new release like .3?

OP you are a month behind (it's 9/3 not 8/3)
After fixing the mail fc, this rom is very stable except for one lingering issue. I guess it might be wifi related. I went all day without any issues with wifi on constantly (and bt) but when I left work (and seemingly as soon as I got out of wifi range) the phone was locked up with nothing on the screen, unresponsive. I had to pull the battery. This has happened since RC3 for me. I am going to try it without wifi over the weekend. Otherwise, BT streaming adio now works perfect, and the internal memory gets scanned for pics/images. I'm going to keep running it though as this wifi bug should be fixed soon.

not to mention we're commenting on it in the more official thread posted up by the author of the rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755690&page=111
however just to say it.. so far its running quite well, I found a correlation between wifi and BT causing issues with each other... commented on it in the other main thread after some extensive testing today.

Yes, there definitely is still issues with wifi. The issue seems to be exacerbated when running SetCPU with a profile that underclocks when the screen is turned off. Since I've stopped using SetCPU I havent had a single freeze, although I might have just gotten lucky so far.
SetCPU will not run at startup for me, even with the option checked to start at boot. I had to set Tasker to run it at boot as a workaround.
When phone is in Airplane mode I still am able to recieve text messages.

I would have to second the issue with SetCPU. As soon as I overclocked it and began using the rom I noticed the phone would get hot abnormally fast and would reboot a few times within the first few hours. Not sure what is going on here as it worked fine on the RC.

My phone doesn't vibrate when I receive an incoming call when the phone is set to vibrate.

Has anyone else noticed the keyboard lag when using the Messaging app? Browser and this xda app seem to work fine with no lag..
Other than that, smooth.

I believe the thread referenced by you refers to RC3, whereas I am specifically looking for feedback on the newest numerical releases of CM 6 for the incredible.

Update: leaving battery percentage at 91 before bed with system panel running, will see whats eating up the most juice. So far stable n fast with no issues (except LCDs).

I get random reboots and freezes every thirty minutes if so on a fresh wipe of 6.0.3 I tried with setcpu and without but always with the built in hotspot running. Same issue since RC3

LED notifications dont work. LauncherPro Plus FCs on every reboot, other then those things im good with it, great wallpapers , great rom

actually if you read the thread, you'll see koush himself is in there dealing with 6.0.2, offering up kernels and fixes...
he just hasn't updated the topic title.

Okay this may be a stupid question but how do I apply the mail fix?

Battery life was down to 81% 11 hours later, and the phone had been placed in Airplane mode while running Gentle Alarm and a few widgets (no auto task killer).
Breakdown:
System 0.6%
System Processes 0.3%
System Panel 0.3%
android.process.acore 0.1%
Plus several honorable mentions with 0.0%. I have yet to perform this experiment with Ruby or ID.

[Q] No GPS receipt with Kernel SpeedMod K9A

I have installed the Kernel SpeedMod K9A on my Galaxy S.
The GPS receipt is complete down, I think in the beginning with the speed Kernel (i1-2) the GPS receipt was fine.
The LBSTestMode show under „Get position test“
DOE: 1 Azimuth: xxx
System: 11:53:52 on in 2010-11-27
Elapsed (Sat): X.xxx (second)
No Satellites are found.
If I wipe the phone, the receipt is again fine.
Then the LBSTestMode indicates no entry DOE.
If I Recovery my Data back via Restore Mode, the error appears again.
I already try JI6, I followed "xda-developers - View Single Post - GPS still not working after JI6 Update- Please help", I used FasterFix for Europe settings in gps.conf- nothing.
Can anybody help me without: “so, make a wipe”

weird , i also installed K9A and didn't wipe a phone but the GPS work fine.
i use DXJPA.

SpeedMod lagfix and GPS performance.
Old thread but I just found it while searching for information on the issue I will describe below. Maybe this has already been addressed elsewhere and if so I apologize but I could not find info on this anywhere.
It has to do with SpeedMod Kernel, the lagfix options and GPS performance.
I am running on Doc’s 9.6.6 ROM, XFJS5, JPY modem.
Until yesterday I had SpeedMod 13KA with the tweaks (first 4 enabled) and lagfix (first 3 on ext4 the loop ones on ext2; no system conversion and Bind_data=false). My GPS reception was horrible – loooong times to lock and very inaccurate, jumping all around the map, lagging behind and loosing signal easily.
Yesterday I swiched to SpeedMod K13B, I enabled the tweaks and default lagfix but without touching DATA_LOOP, CACHE_LOOP & DBDATA_LOOP settings. These remained “=false”. My GPS performance improved miraculously! Lock in fewer than 10 seconds, accuracy 5-10 meters.
This morning I put data_loop, cache_loop and dbdata_loop on EXT2. GPS performance was terrible again. I used GPS Test and I could only find 1 (one!) satellite in over a minute of waiting under open, clear sky. I then disabled all the LOOPs again (all “=false”), and behold! I could find 7 satellites in less than 10 second, locked on 6 of them in 12 seconds and on the 7th in less than 20 seconds. Accuracy was 5 meters.
Do you know why this happens?

Today I installed the K13E version on my stock Froyo 2.2.1 device and I have the exact same problem:
The GPS device will just find 1 satelite and no fix. I have only replaced the stock kernel (J5) and haven't applied any lag fixes yet.
Does anyone perhaps know of a fix for this? Could anyone maybe explain how and where to set the abovementioned changes?
Many thanks in advance!

Maybe it is hardware related. Try this?

[Q] GPS Loses fix (and precision) when screen off

Hi people!
On my Galaxy S i9000 I have on Juwe 5.3 (JVR) with Semaphore 1.6.0.
I have the following problem: my GPS works (good accuracy and locking speed) only when the screen is on. As soon as the screen goes off, I lose the fix and precision, while using tracking apps like Runkeeper or My Tracks and diagnostic ones like GPS Status.
I've tried to force the CPU on 1000 MHz with Voltage Control but the problem remains so I'm guessing it's not a performance issue.
Any ideas?
Everything else works fine.
Thanks!

The same happens on my phone (albeit w/ CM7), but I don't mind, since that would eat the battery. I can see how that would render certain apps useless, though. I've used a few ROMs in my day, and never noticed GPS staying locked while the screen was off. I'm interested in how you'd achieve this as well.

Hi.
Yes in fact when I was on stock the gps worked as expected but I was on froyo.
Than I updated to a beta GB and then to Juwe.
I'd prefer not to put a froyo rom just to test if possible. I'll wait for someone to come with some idea
Thanks!

Some updates:
- It seems not to be kernel releated (tried with both semaphore and CF-Root, will try also TalonDEV)
- Not rom releated also (from Juwe JVR to Simplicity JVT, passing thru stock JVT).
Any ideas?
Is there someone whose GPS stays locked even if the screen is off?
Thanks.

Interested as well. Anyone?

Hmm, my gps would always lose lock if i turned off screen (froyo too).. thought that was normal behaviour

i thought that depends on the app. navigon has a setting which says to keep gps on or off when minimised.

Probably this is right. Should be app-related.
I used to have a lot of GPS problems, but I solved them connecting GPS for the first time with WiFi on google maps, after that, GPs worked great without wifi being necessary anymore.

I will try that.
It seems that also other phones are affected by this problem/feature, after the update to Gingerbread.

Little update: the navigation app does not let the screen to turn off to not to lose gps fix.

[Q] S5Elite 4.4.2 Rom misbehaviour

The last 3 days i have the Rom from MaHo_66 that can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-4-4-2-t2863060
Since i have so little posts(used to get a solutions all these years) but not a new member i can't post in the Rom's Thread i made a new one here. So some questions :
1) If we don't want the 3dot menu from S5 because of loosing space in the screen how can we add the official Alarm/Clock every Android device has?
2) Because of the device's BAD consumption when Data is on, and since in my country Data costs a lot, i wanna have only H and H+ in my device and not 4G-LTE.
Why when i choose wcdma only in Network Mode i get only 4G or 4GLte ? Also read the http://forum.xda- developers.com/galaxy-s3/help-i9305/s3-lte-i9305-3g-4g-2g-wokring-help-t2246437 with both automatic option enabled, or WCDMA only with every band available but nothing happened..
3) With every other rom 4.1.2 or 4.3 i had at least 2 hours of screen and about 1 hour of talking with one charge.. That one gives me only the half of it.
I noticed that an app that's running called: com.android.systemui, with included Packages of System UI, com.android.keyguard and com.sec.android.sviewcover,
eats about 5% to 10% in the usage of one charge. Generally with normal use of phone i had more than 12 hours that i got last time with that Rom..
Just to be clear,before installing the rom i cleaned Everything, and installed with DEFAULT values and no tweaks at all.
So ANYONE has any ideas for my questions?

1) The 3 dot is the menu key. You have a hardware menu key. IF when you press it you get taken to the task manager, press and hold it.
2) This depends on the implementation, but 4G/LTE should be less battery hungry than 3G/HSPA (but not 2G/GPRS) due to rush-to-idle of 4G. keyword here is SHOULD
3) com.sec.android.sviewcover is irrelevant to us, we don't have the hardware sensor to enable it. I would advise you to run Better Battery Stats to get a proper diagnostic of your battery usage.

Well daedric Thank you for answering so quick my questions. Still im sorry for my late response, cause i had net issues.
About the Rom : i don't want the 3Dot Menu cause we have hardware keys for that.. I found the clockapackage and flashed it but it gives me an error every single time i try to run it.
Well also the signal for data values was a problem too, and MaHo_66 gave a solution. Battery still drains fast especiaally when i have the data open it takes about 160 or less minutes with screen on.. Can't help it!
Thanks again for your response!

WiFi Turning Off During Deep Sleep

Hi all,
Can anyone help with this issue. I can see no long discussion about it which seems to suggest it's either rare (not great) or something I am doing (probably).
My WiFi status appears to be fine throughout the day, when in regular use. I have no speed issues (connection speeds as expected for my home internet), no random drops or on/off switches and no seeming battery drain. I have all additional services on (Bluetooth, location and NFC as I want the phone to be fully functional at all times and not just 'look nice') and despite this I get what I would expect in battery life (c. 6 hrs screen on time). YET, amongst a few other problems (what is the slider customisation about - awful!) the one I can't fathom is this:
My WiFi switches off over night presumably when the phone goes into deep sleep. I have gone into the advanced settings and set it to 'Always on' but this doesn't seem to keep it 'always on'. I wake up in the morning and it is off. I was running some Tasker profiles (which seem to make little difference given the slider issue noted above) but actually my WiFi isn't one off the Tasks effected by a night time profile.
Any help would be appreciated.
AS a secondary question, I switched my VPN over to Canada as suggested and was provided with the Nougat update. I haven't yet tried it but was wondering if there are any bugs that I should consider before switching over given I am 4 days into owning this phone and still haven't ironed out certain things in Marshmallow.

Just as a follow up question, would the 'turn Doze off' option help with this? Surely I shouldn't have to do this though?

Am I the only one having this issue? That would suck. Even so, would anybody more adept at these things than me like to have a guess at solving the issue.

IV had agresive dose mode on and haven't had any wifi problems but I am on 4.0.1 so might want to just update it as it's really stable and I haven't had any issue except having to reconfigure the APN settings. PS if you do update reset you phone after as some people have said it helps with the new file system.

This happens when people is crying about updates every day. Then, when the updates are available, they update it in the first minute and again, they start crying, that they encounter bugs and stuff that doesnt work as it should, even if they dont have any idea how to revert their OS to the previous working one. People should learn how to be patient and enjoy their phones without being so greedy about updates.
Just sit tight, enjoy your phone, READ forums about latest updates and the problems encountered on that specific update ( since its still a beta update, and an early one , called Beta 1 ). If they seem to be fine with those issue, ONLY then should update to the latest one.

I haven't 'cried' about anything, pal, so keep your unhelpful comments to yourself or help. Don't middle ground-it by offering your own personal, and incorrect, opinions.
I hadn't upgraded anything, I was running stock OS and stock marshmallow, so I had literally done nothing to my device other than switch it on and download the same apps I've been using for years.
I've also rooted several devices in the past with no issues and chime in when I can to help, but I'm not a dev and there are far more technologically gifted individuals operating in this forum which is why I sought help here... Not that I got much from you. But I'm more than capable of reading release notes and making sure I can revert backwards before installing anything.
Now to anyone still here, and with the same issue, it appears that carrying out the update to Nougat, re-adding my WiFi networks and clearing system cache solved the problem or at least for the first night. Should this change I'll update here.

Hi Iso, thank you for your response, I hadn't seen this until now.
The upgrade to 4.0.1 does appear to have done the trick somewhat as it stayed on overnight without issue. I did notice it wasn't on a little later this morning but I am giving the device the benefit of the doubt on that one as I have been messing about with certain things and it's possible I or a profile in tasker switched it off.
As an aside do you recommend any other potential fixes, just to be on the safe side.

Did you factory reset after upgrading? Other than that it's probably a app you have I hear Facebook is really bad at battery

I didn't factory reset, only Cache wipe after the upgrade, and as it seems ok so far, I am reluctant to factory reset the device as it took so long to set up in the first instance.
Should it start becoming an issue again I'll try it but for now...
Also I know there are backup options though I haven't found one that works flawlessly which gives me the confidence to explore this avenue just yet.

You might have to because in nuogat they optimized the file system and in order to get the new one you have to factory reset not 100% sure it affects battery life but it really affects performance, PS also try turning off gestures, ambient display and pocket mode

Are you sure ISO? The UI has been updated and the already snappy OS feels snappier. Is there a way to tell for sure if it's required?
If so, any good recommendations for backup capability. I have used Helium to mixed results and I can't use Titanium as I have no root (and don't wish to).

Maybe not but it all elts fails
