Im having what is certainly a stupid problem. This morning I decided to update the touchpad (I think android was originally installed 3+ years ago). I used the guide here and got cm-11-20160314-NIGHTLY-tenderloin installed, everything went swimmingly. This tablet is used exclusively for radio and video in the kitchen and everything seems to work except netflix. More often than not when I start a video it comes up black and white in sort of a jumbled jigsaw puzzle. The audio is fine. I have tried, rebooting, uninstalling, force closing, clearing cache and data, and from the one google product forums thread I found dealing with a similar issue (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/3JKWt0rEo5I), clearing both data and cache in chrome as well, to no avail. If I close and reopen the video over and over it sometimes works. Youtube seems to work flawlessly. Im stumped. I hope someone could help with this as the tablet was getting to barely usable and this seemed to have breathed some new life into it.
EDIT I have since tried a rotating list of different roms. The only one I can see to get working netflix video is : cm-11-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin. Im not sure what the deal is. Its strange that I seem to be the only one with this issue. Oh well.
I have this issue as well. Unfortunately I've no idea how to solve it!

All right, so a while ago say..few hours or a day ago, I dropped my phone. Nothing seemed wrong, everything was working fine. Until I decided to go play Abduction World Attack. It's a game where you tilt the G1 and the little character moves according to how you tilt it. Surprise Surprise I ran into my problem. The little avatar wouldn't move and it was just stuck there no matter how I turned my phone. I also just noticed that auto-rotate won't work. I believe it's because the accelerometer is broken...Anyone have any advice on how to fix this or calibrate it? I've tried calibrating inside apps that use the accelerometer. I've searched but to no avail. Help will be appreciated Thank-you.
[Edit]: A wipe has fixed this! =)
If your under warranty, you may want to try and get it exchanged. Let T-Mobile/HTC know that it just stopped working.
If you are out of warranty, you can attempt at looking for a solution by taking apart the phone. The official manual is here
The manual has all of the disassemble instructions. Hopefully that will lead you to a solution.
Sounds like it could be a hardware issue but no harm in testing to see if it is a software one. Tried rebooting the mobile? If so see if other programs like Bubble works. If not then a final resort would be a reflash to at least eliminate the software side of things.
If its no go then best to try and get it exchanged...
I've fixed it guys ^^ Seemed like a wipe would do it. I changed to the hero build for a second and then reflash CM after a wipe and accelerometer is fixed. Thanks for the suggestions though! Greatly appreciated
The power of the mighty wipe ^_- Good to hear its been sorted. Since you're the OP too, could you edit the title to SOLVED so people know?

Sure. OP and title has been updated!
Sure wish I had your luck. I'm having the same problem and a wipe didn't do me any good.
I have tried several different mods and none of them work.
tested with browser, bubble, Papi game apps, and Accelerometer xyz Values.
I don't have any akm files located in /data/misc
I do have a /system/bin/akmd but my ps output doesn't show it running.

Most likely a hardware problem then mate. You could try un-rooting and see if the accelerometer works.
If I install RC29 then the accelerometer works without issue. So that rules out hardware issue.
Here is another thread I found that goes in much more detail about what I am experiencing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533749
so far there isn't any movement on this thread. I'm surprised that this issue isn't more wide spread.
I just had the accelerometer on my HTC Sapphire go belly up.
Auto-rotate was broken, compass apps wouldn't initialize, tilting maze games would slowly move the ball to the top left side regardless of actual tilting, etc..
Reboot didn't fix it. However I did have a file under /data/misc/akmd_set.txt and most of the values in it were set to 0.
I renamed that file to akmd_set.txt, then killed akmd, per instructions in a neighboring thread.
akmd rose from its ashes, a new akmd_set.txt automagically appeared, with lots of different numbers for each value in it. All my accelerometer-depending features were happy again.
so yay, and all that.
As a side-note, I've been playing with some not insignificant magnets on my desk, and I'm wondering if abnormal magnetic fields around my phone might have caused the accelerometer miscalibration?
Good for my G1 too.
Kudos to the OP, this solution worked perfectly on my G1 with the same symptoms. Many Thanks!
After running Streamfurious for a few hours today my internal memory is totally full, and Apps manager doesn't have a a "clear cache" option for this app.
I'm using CM 3.6.8.1, with apps to SD. This never happened before this update.
Is there a way to clear out the memory using the Terminal app?
Thanks.
Streamfurious memory issues
I have been happily running StreamFurious Pro on my G1 for several months, with almost no problems. However, in the past couple weeks Streamfurious has been very flaky. It just quits after a few minutes. If I try to restart it more than 2 or 3 times, it crashes. I keep getting low memory messages from the G1. When I review the applications, Streamfurious takes up more than 128 MB! The next closest is about 2.3 MB. Usually the cache is around 25MB. Clearing it does not seem to help at all.
If I don't hear anything or get an update, i looks like I will have to give up on Streamfurious, which is really too bad because it has been a very reliable workhorse up until this month. If this problem is resolved I will post the news.
I saw the same memory-filling behavior a few days ago. It was soon after receiving an update for the free version of StreamFurious. I think this update was a mistake by the dev, since it had the advanced features I assume came from the full pay version. When it ate all my internal memory, I deleted the app and then re-installed from the Market. It was fine after that, though not long after this, the dev posted another update that took away the pay features again. It's been fairly stable since, though maybe a bit more prone to dropping active streams.
I was using the pro version, but it recently stopped working correctly. Is there a way to install an older version?

Thanks highvista - uninstalling and reinstalling did help. Still, Streamfurious is nothing like it used to be. Now it is always dropping the stream. I am definitely looking for a replacement to Streamfurious. Anyone know a good one that I can use with custom URL's (one of my main stations is Radio Swiss Classic)http://www.radioswissclassic.ch/en/webradio
I used streamfurious a long time. Im having the same issues and reached the point of uninstalling it.
Someone on the market (under the streamfurious comments, of all things) suggested "Cherry Rplayer". Its free.
Ive only had Cherry Rplayer a day or so, but I can tell you from what I have seen so far it has none of the streamfurious issues.
Blade
Blade10,
Thanks for the recommendation for Cherry Rplayer. I will reserve final judgement until after several days of testing, but so far, so good. It appears to be vastly superior to Streamfurious. Not a single dropout. And it works perfectly with custom URLs and AAC, two of my most important requirements. Thanks again for jumping in and letting me know.
The author released a new version of streamfurious last night that supposedly reverts back to the old streaming engine. I haven't tried it yet to confirm.

Seemed to solve the memory issues. Works great for me
But the old Streamfurious didn't support AAC, so why go back to that? Plus I'm still more than a little irked that they would put out such a piece of untested junk.
There was an update and not it supports 2.2 so I went ahead and downloaded it. I am having nothing but issues with it. It plays really choppy. Basically unplayable and it kinda sucks cause it took 20 minutes to download the data so I cant even return it.
Anyone else having issues with this game? I'm running Vegan 5.11
i am having issues with this game too. choppy if it even runs at all, and that's when it's not causing my entire tablet to freeze up.
My advice: wait to download this one until they have fixed the massive amounts of bugs that are floating around in it.
I agree, right now I have waisted $10
Also choppy and crashing. Wouldn't recommend anyone buy this yet.
This makes me sad, I had high hopes for this.
Did any of you try restarting your tablet after downloading? I downloaded and tried to run it and it was very laggy and was no good so I restarted and it works perfectly. I play it all the time with not one issue.
Since the last update, i've had no more problems with this game.

I did exactly that. In fact, the crappy part is that you can only get it with the supplement for VegAn-TAB 5.11. Otherwise, it is not visible on the market or available through the Tegra App. However, the supplement kept killing my audio and making my device starting hissing out of the blue as if it were possessed.
I have a service emailinto the company to see if I can get a refund or if they can send me an apk.
It sucks. It was nice, but I had to sacrifice audio or video. It never played 100%.
I downloaded an updated version. And now its like butter. Game is ok. I prefer gun bros
about an hour ago, my galaxy had only been rooted. between then and now, i've backed up my apps, flashed a faster kernel, and flashed it up to a gingerbread rom.
something strange has happened during this, and now not only did a lot of things no longer when restored (root explorer), but my phone seems to have a problem with background music, strangely enough.
speedx and fruit ninja seem to play fine with all the sound effects, but no background music plays! i mean, that's definitely something i can live with, but it just hints at lots of other hidden things wrong. has anyone else experienced this?
If it was ok before you flashed then its the flash/rom .
Even though Gingerbread is BETA not heard of your problem so far .
best is factory reset .
#Followed by a new flash if still wrong.
You do not mention any details regarding what you flashed

Aha. Finally someone with the same issue. I am missing the background music in fruit ninja too. Reinstalling does not fix the problem either. I would try reflashing, but I am having my first exam on Monday, so I can't spare the time at the moment.
I'm running debusrom g1. I'll maybe try flashing another rom and see what happens. Good to know I'm not alone with this.
Extreme kudos and awesomeness and gratitude to jcsullins and all the folks involved with developing CM10/Android for the TP. Thank you.
I had been watching the forums to figure out a good time to "jump in" and yesterday I took the moments to install CM10.1 (4/18/13) on my TP. I was amazed at how seamless and flawless the installation was. It seemed it took less time to do the install than it did to download CM10 (download was ~100kb (kB?)/s). CM10 came up running without any problems.
Of course, it wasn't without some issues After confirming CM10 was functional (along w/Wi-Fi, etc.) I installed gapps and that's where the problems began. I first tried gapps-jb-20130409-signed (which did not get installed with CM10). After it was installed, I lost the keyboard app (kept getting messages about the keyboard no longer working). I tried suggestions of default/reset and clearing both caches. Didn't fix the problem. Wasn't sure how to uninstall gapps, so I did a complete CM10 reinstall and tried gapps-jb-20130409-signed again. Still no good. I thought maybe it was a compatibility issue (I could never be absolutely clear which gapps would work with which CM version). So, I went with gapps-jb-20130301-signed. Same problems. I then came across gapps-jb-4.2-Gapps-And-Extras-Signed (I changed the name to be sure it would work with ClockWorksMod) mentioned in a posting. This seemed to do the trick. Keyboard remains fully functional.
I'm curious if there are any log files kept on the TP from the install. Each time I installed CM10, I noticed in the messages rolling up the screen that certain directories couldn't be found. And I think a few of them were related to gapps installation. I'd be interested to see what that was about.
The only problem I've noticed in the short time I've played with it is that the Wi-Fi went inactive (and not temporarily). I went into settings and tried to turn it off and then back on. Once I turned it off, I wasn't allowed to turn it on. There are prob'ly 1/2 a dozen or more Wi-Fi sites nearby, but the TP couldn't see any of them. I ended up doing a power down/reboot and that brought back Wi-Fi.
Anyway, I am very pleased with the new OS. And happy to be independent from WebOS, since its future is unknown.
Cheers....Steph
A two years old device with the latest Android, yeah, its definitively a great work!
Log files are saved in the back up and/or in /cache/recovery/last_log . Also do you have the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" setting set to Never? That might be why your wifi is having issues, because I had the same issue when mine was set to Never. Now I usually keep mine set to Always and it hasn't had that issue and doesnt seem to use the battery too much.

Im curious, were you testing CM10 or CM10.1?
Go and read a guide again, you're installing the wrong gapps. The ones it specifically says not to use.
You need this one:
