Has anyone figured out a fix for the random total-slowdown of the OS? (This is not the Auto-Brightness CPU 90% bug).

It's started happening more frequently for me. I now need to reboot 3 times a day or more because the phone will randomly get extremely slow and jerky even though CPU usage remains low. Doesn't matter what I'm doing on the phone. (50% of the time it happens when phone is sleeping).

I know I'm not the only one with this problem on CM7, there was a thread on it a while back but the thread died with no apparent solution.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

The video doesn't work for me, and everytime a call ends, its asks me if i should blacklist that person, when every single call ends.... ??? :S

When making a call DSP also Force closes, nothing have i changed, simply added the 1%step fix and display fix, nothing else new added...

Anyhelp highly Appreciated, Great Job with this Quarx !!! THANKS ! :D
[Defy Android Development] andrrei22ro:
how can i tell wich is the latest nightly? by the number of it or by the release date?
[Defy Android Development] Mahalio:
You can tell by the date of the nightly, and the time :p
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
It's easy just see the screen

FS on CM7 - same as froyo.

We cant change FS because locked bootloader

Could someone please try to put there phone into flight mode using the powerwidget in notification bar? For me it would not let me enter my pin again after turning flight mode off, so I had to wipe all user data to retrive my phone.

Any ideas? Anyone who can confirm or deny this?

I am using the 20th nightly build I was playing music for quite a long time today and now suddenly it stopped and while trying to playback again it says format not supported. Anybody?

Edit: works again after reboot.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I had that happen when I switched between players. If you wait a bit and retry it works. It seems that the playback subsystem is being locked somehow, while it shouldn't.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I have removed the PIN protection from my uSIM so I cannot test atm. But I've seen others with the same complaint.

EDIT: Well I tried to reactivate it, then set Flight mode. Pin Unlock screen came up properly, entered PIM, phone works normally. Cannot reproduce it.
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
For me, it works fine.
[Defy Android Development] pomah:
Ok, I guess it is something at my end then, will try to sort this out.
[Defy Android Development] pomah:
It was my fault.

When disabling the lockscreen using cyanogen tablet tweaks it will not show you pin input dialog, only when you enable the lockscreen it will be shown again.

Thanks for your help testing

I've tested wifi in 110522-1341-NIGHTLY. It works again in WPA2 mode with 11n router. It seems that new wifi driver has resolved such issue.

Hello

I just think understand why my photo dont work on defy green lens .

I test 19 May and now 20 2337 and with this update my photo work one time and now bug, no zoom no flash ... .

I dont test the 23 update, i try later .

Thanks

EDIT : just test 23 update and it's ok now work fine

Just when i go to Cyanogen performance setting cpu max frequency say 800 Mhz on BootMenu OC max cpu is 1000Mhz, so i change this setting on cyanogen parameters

I am trying to update to 23rd nightly build from 20th. I am not able the script applied too fast and after reboot it is still the old build. I have been trying from yesterday to get the nightly builds after 20 but not able to get it. Can anyone help out.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
If it helps, I upgraded from the 20/05 nightly to the 22/05 with no problem. I did not try the build from 23/05, perhaps it is flawed itself.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
when the update is too fast... its because /system is not mounted

The led is red or green ? try to unmount/mount "/system" in the mount menu and dont start adb before the upgrade process, unplug usb before powering up if possible

Except if updater-script is modified, the upgrade fail to a new version is failing in the old version... not in the new one
[Defy Android Development] Ph1b:
I enabled the battery percentage. My defy says: charged when percantage says: 95%. After that it charges on and at the moment I am at 101% oO.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
You know the drill, when fully charged delete the battery stats and you're set!
[Defy Android Development] binodnepal:
Once the led was red. Now I updated to 22nd NB and then noe yo 23rd NB. It worked after restart and trying again.

Still no good news for the camcorder. When recording with blurcamera, video is silky smooth... no lag, no stuttering, no choppiness. As I switch to any of the available Gingerbread ROMs, video recording is screwed up :(
[Defy Android Development] mick711:
Now with the last built 110523 photo work but now i have FC with Sygic v3 , Motonav work and so GPS to .

I have bad issu with Beta6 and Sygic v3, many reboot, no with 20 Nightly Built.

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] Bumble99:
So I still don't understand who is actually building these nightlies? If Quarks is building them then where is he getting the source from? Are they builds from the Motorola devs who are preparing the official 2.3 for the defy?
[Defy Android Development] adi4motion:
nightlies are builded by tpruvot using the latest github code from quarx
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
I can confirm it (CM7 beta 6) and I think this is a very important bug to fix.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
i think the answer is no.. :)

they do experiment and develop the CyanogenMod 7 sources from Quarx and from official CM7 sources,

so CM7 can be ported to Defy more perfectly, and flawlesly :)
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
if you know what do do you can build it yourself. When i have time, i like trying out some modification in the sources. You can learn lot about android by making your hand a little dirty.
[Defy Android Development] Bumble99:
Ah so Tpruvor takes the code from Quarx's beta 6 and maybe from his work in progress (for beta7) as well as other code from CM7 and releases a new build daily for us to try out? Am I getting warmer?
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
just a little. Here are the sources

https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_device_motorola_umts_jordan

Quarx created it from CM7 sources and includes all modifications made by Quarx and tprvot up to today. And everyone can build the cm7 from it. Even you if you want. Nightly means it is built from the most up to date sources but it is not so different from the latest release the it could be called beta 7 and it may contain some other bugs too.
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
The Defy reached Top 5 in CMStats: http://stats.cyanogenmod.com/

BIG THANKS to Quarx for this :D:D
[Defy Android Development] ziki:
Mmmmmm, this is an issue of the b6? Just yesterday I discovered that with b6 I cannot detect anymore my home wifi network (with froyo no problem).
[Defy Android Development] demolition23:
How is the camera for green lens in latest nigtly?
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
It is a problem for me from beta2 to beta6, that my defy can't connect my 11n router in WPA2 mode (it works fine when switching to WPA). It seems that the nightly build with the new wifi driver has solved such issue.
[Defy Android Development] escrivel:
Does someone know how far quarx with a new beta version is?
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
Nope

Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App
[Defy Android Development] DrogenDiego:
I tried to extract the original Swype from the original eclair rom that I had but it didnt work the unyaffs command threw out a error anyone knows how to do it under win7 ??? For me it just wont work.

I had the feeling that the white original swype was much more accurate then the betas. So please no get this beta etc stuff.

FIX FOR WIFI ERRORS

like already written, the problem is reproducible easily:

Three ways to fix (ordered):

click the SSID you cancelled and hit forget.

Enter credentials again and Viola!

Use root explorer or similar to edit /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

remove the line "ap_scan=2"

restore wifi access points data from titanium backup or similar

hope it helps
[Defy Android Development] seukumeama:
one thing i really wish is the animation for rotation screen from 2.3.3 sbf , maybe the quarx norris can ear me
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
ya, it is true, i can reproduce that error on cancelled wifi connection.

i have to "forget" that SSID, and input password again to get connection working.

thanks for the workaround :)
[Defy Android Development] Quarx:
Everything works fine?

Can be add to the GIT?
[Defy Android Development] SpawNyK:
Isnt it stable enough for a new beta ? :)
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
the workaround works, but we have two options i think:

1. to understand what causes ap_scan=2 bug

2. to disable ap_scan=2 or make it work like ap_scan=1

ap_scan=2 is for AdHoc wifi

here

https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_...read/proprietary/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

basically it happens due to double entry of wifi in .conf file

@Quarx maybe change it and it'll be tested in nightly.

@current nightly testers: check if the problem occurs to you too

+ check if Adhoc connections work

+ check (hopefully) tomorrow's nightly

i try to find relevant part in the code
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
maybe this should be fixed to include mode 2

Downgrade Recovery

So I've been away from the community for a few weeks, and since coming back a few days ago all I've been doing is reading about how much progress has been made on the Defy. It's astounding. I've already flashed one device up to 2.3.4, and other than one major issue all seems to be working well. The major issue I'm having is with regards to Recovery. It doesn't seem to work worth a damn under either 2 init 1.7 or whats stock with cyanogen 7. It caused me many issues before i realized that it was the issue. I had to go back to the older version to even get c7 loaded. Now i'm going to load apk and its failing because of supposed libraries relating to gingerbread and lack of support through install zip. Is it possible to load the original recovery for the defy and overwrite the existing one without screwing everything up? It just doesn't seem to work on the defy as it stands. I'm still piecing together how all of the new software interacts with each other. I just really need to get TMobile wifi calling working as I have no reception at the house. Thx. Keep up the good work man! Once I get back up to speed I'll start trying to help wherever I can.
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
I never had the wifi bug, don't know if i'm using WPA2 so don't know if I should have it.

I installed the latest nightly. Everything works fine. Coming form beta 6 and found out many setting have been translated into Dutch. There are some small spell faults, should I report these to CM?
[Defy Android Development] ratedr75:
Tried every version of the instructions to get this work and no joy at all.

Have tried to be polite and get some help but none given.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
This topic is for development. Try the FAQ, the instructions will work. If not, ask there.
[Defy Android Development] ratedr75:
Have aready done that!!
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
You need to use 2ndInit 1.4 . That should make it work. I've tried lots of different combos this morning. Follow the Instruction guide to a T including versions. 1.7 does not work.
[Defy Android Development] ratedr75:
When I go into the recovery mode the first message I get is this:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
When we say recovery mode we don't mean stock recovery. Plus you can ignore that message.
[Defy Android Development] ratedr75:
OK so how do i get where I need to be? Have tried the power on/down combo and thats what it brought me.
[Defy Android Development] Bumble99:
Once you have 2ndinit installed you power on the phone and only press volume down when the LED goes blue. Maybe you are holding volume down too early?
[Defy Android Development] ratedr75:
Roughly how many secs before it goes blue?
[Defy Android Development] runeblade:
This is what you need to do.

1.) Make sure you are on a 2.2 Rom.

2.) Put your phone into USB debugging.

3.) Root phone with 1 click and reboot.

4.) Install 2ndInit 1.4. Disable USB debugging.

5.) Reboot Phone. You will receive a boot menu. Select Boot, then normal.

6.) Let Phone boot up. Then shutdown and repeat Step 5 again.

7.) Make sure that everything listed in the How to thread is copied to your SD card.

8.) Reboot Phone. This time when you hit the boot menu, continue to follow the instructions in the How-To thread. When it says "Recovery" select "Recovery" and then on the 2nd menu select "Custom Recovery". Then finish following the guide to flash. Reboot phone and you should be good.

You get out of this thread, read the FAQ, then ask your questions there!

Its not the right place to chat!
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
Successfully reproduced :

It happened when I was with no reception tasker disabled wifi and GPS.

took me lots of restarts to understand that it happens in basements and stuff like that.

If you don't have a basement or a spy cage:

Shutdown device

Remove simcard

Turn on device...

(Safety measure:unmount sdcard)

Wait for it to lock.

It wont unlock -> battery pulled

@beta6 @nightly testers - happens to you too?

Please try to keep the thread clean. This is a dev thread not a noob thread.

I understand that you dont read all the pages but the links to the nightly are in the first post and if anything still not clean use the FAQ dont ask the same in two post. You will get an answer with one post.

Songe the bug is fixed in the new nightlys you can try it.

[Defy Android Development] pomah:
This error happend to me because I disabled the lockscreen option (settings/cyanogenmod settings/tablet tweaks/Disable lockscreen) when enabling it again I could see the sim-pin dialog again.

So just enable the lockscreen and it should work.

Looking at the bug list and what has been fixed in the latest nightlies it seems like the next version should be a RC1.

Great job Quarx I'm at beta 6 and I love this rom, thank you for your hard work.

Hi all! Any experience with the latest nightly? Are problems like choppy video recording, faulty photo zoom, random FCs and forgetting WIFI settings solved? These were existing problems in the previous one.
[Defy Android Development] ctz556:
latest nightly,110523 and 110524,system decreased fluency.
[Defy Android Development] diamond_lover:
Half gray it's a fault for green lense, because the compression setting is too low and high contrast objects stuck the camera.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
@ctz556

Could be this commit responsible for the system not being smooth?

https://github.com/tpruvot/android_device_motorola_umts_jordan/commit/4fc673ff6847623b94d2af9ff35e5711b71203cf
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
This changed in a recent commit in Quarx's git, he increased the compression again.
[Defy Android Development] andrrei22ro:
latest nightly:

-camera takes ~800kb pictures(on the previously nightly was ~1,5mb),faulty zoom on camera-green lense

-choopy video recording(it freezes when pressing record-stop record-stop...)

-system is missing fluency,a little scrolling lag

-random FC (camera,dsp manager,launcher pro...)
[Defy Android Development] AkkiandDefy:
This mean, that we will not see a beta or a RC soon :(
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
Seems like the last steps are the hardest to take. There are so many good things / ideas in Cyanogenmod. I love waking up the device with the volume rocker, I liked the smoothness of previous versions (especially with LauncherPro - it worked flawlessly) - I also tried Miui where the notification-bar-toggle-icons and traffic monitor were most impressive parts.

So Gingerbread is cool. And still... BlurCamera should be implemented somehow. Works like charm - unlike any Gingerbread solutions until now. And those unwanted FCs... still too many times.

All my congratulations go to the developers... I wish them magical powers to continue :) And waiting for a RC... ;)
[Defy Android Development] VTomi1975:
I think... what everybody wants to see is ... immediate, smooth, lagfree reactions in every parts of the OS. That's why Iphone got so popular.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
In time I believe all the major bugs will be squashed. Especially if a newer gingerbread version leaks from Motorola ;)

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Don't worry guys, I just noticed a new commit that may fix the FC and lag, we will know in the next nightly.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
So what i say is that it happens just like that.

and more then that - it corrupted my sdcard and i had to CHKDSK it
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
That is the purpose of the nighly builds, they are no new betas with less bugs in each release, they are for testing and experimenting sometimes having fatal bugs.

- camera picture compression cannot be too low it causes freez.

- the record stop record stop bug and the system lag is corrected a couple minutes ago(see git)

- random FC-s are hard to correct. Try to do a logcat and post it here if it is realy a bug of CM7 then post it on github. Third party apps can have bugs too LauncerPro sometimes froze on eclair too or your freeze is maybe related to other problems for example the system lag.

If it is a bug then post it on github. I am sure if Quarx knows howto fix it he will. And it is better to collect the bugs there, here too many comments and he cannot follow
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
remove etc/sysctl.conf reboot and tell me ... on the 110524 build

I won't file a bug that is reproducible only for me.

i need at least one veri from beta6 and one veri from nightly..

we aren't in a race to file bugs but to fix real problems that happen to many phones as possible. it might also be possible that its only my problem.
[Defy Android Development] vick33:
i tried but could not reproduce the bug. what i did was

Shutdown device

Remove simcard

Turn on device...

Wait for it to lock.

and i unlocked 10 times

then i disabled everything in power control.

Wait for it to lock.
