I am pretty sure that the connection problem raises during 2G - 3G switching - till working only 2G or only 3G at home (just testing if problem appears) everything is ok.

When I need mobile data I usually use 2G/3G auto, and it happens that, after some time, I notice I have no network at all.

What is specific in my case (first green, now red defy) is that no toggles, neither widget or settings, work. Neither rebooting. I have to turn off and on the phone to get connection back.

Yo!

Sorry to be O-T, but since a couple guys pm'd me lately and asking about what theme I use (..from the screenshoots I've posted lately), I thought that I would share my setup with you all and bring you a gift.

It's my latest personal theme creation: WizAL

It's not an app icons-filled theme; just a lightweight hybrid theme with a few extra colors and things borrowed from MrDSL's (Mixer) and kevin2516's (TouchWizzedB and GingerBlurB) themes. [Big thanks to them]

It's not perfect and it is still a work in progress...

But I enjoy it so far; I hope you do too!. ;)

Install it [don't forget to rename WizAL_Theme.zip to __.apk];

aplly it with Theme Chooser (ignore errror as pic1);

and

REBOOT

.

And since we're on a break from Maniac's builds...,

I've also attached a cwm recovery patch (and undo) for a

transparent statusbar tweak FOR MANIAC's JUNE16TH BUILD ONLY

.

I'll say it again:

the transparency zip is to be flashed on Maniac's cm-7-20120616-UNOFFICIAL-jordan-signed.zip ONLY.

Cheers,

/A

EDIT: I've removed the attached beta version of my theme; fo the latest file go read and get it here on this thread
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
This may also be considered off topic, but I'm pretty sure it applies to CM7 as well as CM9

I've been able to pin down with a very high degree of certainty what causes my data disconnects.

I've been using the latest CM9 FuZZ and CM9 Epsylon3 builds to do my tests, they are both pretty much the same (froyo kernel)

A disconnect happens 100% of the time when the phone is switched or switches itself from Vodacom 2G, a network I'm able to roam on, and Cell C 3G, the network my service provider Red Bull Mobile piggybacks on.

This can be tested my forcing the phone onto Vodacom 2G then selecting 3G only, which makes the phone switch back to Cell C as I'm not allowed to use the Vodacom 3G network. Every time this is done, data has to be enable manually by toggling data off/on.

My phone was running for two days without a single disconnect on Vodacom 2G only. At midday today I decided to switch it back to Auto Network Selection and Auto 2G/3G selection, and within 10 minutes saw my first disconnect when the phone switched itself from Vodacom 2G to Cell C 3G, the same behaviour as when the switch is forced.

So... for me to enjoy bug free data, I'll keep the phone on Vodacom 2G and force it to 3G and toggle data when needed.

Hope this helps those of you who have the same network scenario.

Help sought from defy+ users

I own a red lens defy since about an year. I've been having battery drops since last 6months. Now I'm fed up of those and intend to replace it by a new defy+ battery assuming the drops are battery issue. Does defy+ battery also has battery drops......I assume defy battery batch had some fault so it was upgraded to a newer version in form of defy plus battery.

Expert advice requested.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
I never had battery drops with my Defy+. When owned my old Defy, only few times observed that.

[Defy Android Development] Bleak3993:
anyone know how to solve this...? still almost 200mb of free space
[Defy Android Development] kapil_dheer:
Did this happen only for this app or all apps. Must be only for specific apps.

You might try to get into root>system>app and find a similar named apk or odex file. Delete the file using any root explorer. Then reinstall. Fixed such errors for me. Of course possible only if you have root access.

Hope it helps.

A-GPS in maniac's 20120616

Edit: Forget what I wrote here before. A-GPS in maniac's build works great, let us preload data when we have WiFi available and what I checked two days later GPS, with data off, find fix in few seconds.

I had some problems in first trials as I always used GPS Essentials to check how fast I can find fix. But I could not get fix with data off at all. The application caused some problems and it turned out that I had to force close GPS Essentials to let other applications work without any problem.

RIL connection bug

Hi,

I posted this in the german android-hilfe.de Forum. But maybe it helps a little to post the files here as well (more people to look at).

So, I think I caught a logcat with enhanced RIL log info, as maniac told me to.

scenario:

- at first I only had network disconnect (calls were possible but no data); flight mode toggle helped.

- some time later I had a complete network disconnection (grey bars, no calls possible, flight mode didn't work, reboot necessary)

- it is in a surrounding where network switches often betwenn 2G and 3G/HSDPA

While watching long youtube hd videos my cellphone restarted a couple of times. And it only happens on youtube, watching normal 480p movies or any other 30min+ video seems OK

I think i got a battery drain too, usually my phone still has 30% battery when i go to the bed. Last night it had around 40% (that i remember) but when i woke up today it was dried out. I don't have any battery history to see what happened, gonna download one today

Yo,

I can't wait to see if this awesome news for us [regarding a workaround the locked kernel for the PowerVR video driver] will also work for GB CM7...

More details here and go give a Thank you to kabaldan ;)

If it does, what kind of improvements can we expect? Better working ui, camera, no more half black screens after rotations (unfrequent but still..) and any kind of hardware acceleration possible on cm7???

Anyhow that and the European Center of Nuclear Research 'observing' the Higgs boson (the God particle; kind of the father of the quarx particles - sorry quarks :D) it is great and exciting stuff; I thought I would just mention it here...

Edit:

And if that was not enough... read this on Koush's new ClockworkMod Recovery 6.

And me that thought that things were getting too quiet...
[Defy Android Development] arjcba:
WOW, that's the greatest news after cyanogenmod itself!!! :laugh:

I would like to watch 720p movies w/o gitches and sound des-synchronization
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Apologies for the OT, but a huge thanks to you, maniac103, for the audio fix on CM10 :good:
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
My today's nightly has a new FM radio (restored sources from APK) with lockscreen integration and global volume control. If you're pleased by that, you're free to check the button under my name on the left ;) - it was a significant effort.

Also new are a 'PIN' for direct bootmenu access (settable via Settings -> Device settings -> Bootmenu PIN) and a backport of the CM9 root changes (no root for ADB by default anymore; changable via Settings -> Apps -> Development -> Root access), which, when used combined with a secure lock screen, should greatly improve device security in case of theft.

Sorry for forgetting to answer you.

The problem is that log proves that I'm sort of stuck. The connection drops due to the network, the framework tries to make the RIL forget the old connection (which it already - incorrectly - has, but that's workarounded) and tries to reconnect, but the RIL doesn't answer to that reconnection request. At this point, I don't know how to handle that: I could try to re-try the connection request, but given the RIL didn't answer to the first request, it's probably broken already anyway...

BTW, I wouldn't hold my hopes too high that a later CM version will be able to fix that issue. It's the Motorola binary blob that's broken here, and there's a high chance that it only worked on the stock ROM 'by accident', meaning that the code path responsible for the hang wasn't triggered, e.g. due to slightly different timing.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Umm, sounds nice, but I completely lost root privileges with this nightly. The option is set to 'apps + adb' but su doesn't work.

EDIT: Found the cause; I always se "ro.debuggable=0" in "/system/bootmenu/config/default.prop". That setting for some reason was not overwritten but the nightly, leaving the system with disabled su.

EDIT2: That was not it, su is not working for new apps, and if I delete the cached permissions from the superuser app, su is useless again. Got a logcat here.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Confirmed, I'll check it. I only tried cached apps before :(

Strangely, the problem seems to be in the Superuser app, which I didn't touch.

BTW, don't set ro.debuggable=0 now, or you'll lose root - the build is a userdebug one instead of an eng one in order to enable the switchable root.

Edit: Workaround for now is updating the su binary via superuser app.

edit: for the records I tried this with Settings -> Apps -> Development -> Root access -> Apps only and Apps and ADB.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Same issue, can't update it. Also I must note that the problem happens with either the superuser app included in the rom or the updated one from the market. Whatever it is, the problem is in the binary itself.
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Hi maniac, thanks for the response... I pretty much thought this problem lies with the moto code as it is present on CM7, CM9 and now on CM10.

The problem is definitely network dependant, I ported my wife's defy is to a different carrier and has since never had a disconnection issue (on CM9).

I can quite easily force the disconnect by manually switching between certain networks.

Not sure if you've seen this thread I started to try characterize the problem.
[Defy Android Development] BetoFlakeS:
One question...

Excuse me, can I flash this rom in a mb526?:D
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
No... unless you install a BL6 Froyo kernel, which I wouldn't recommend as there are battery charging issues. Stick to defy plus builds.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Yes, it definitely is. The problem is with the permissions set on the socket used for communication between su and the Superuser app.

I think I know what's wrong, I just need to find the time to try it.

[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
Had similar problem in cm10 yesterday.....I think d su binary gets corrupted due to repeated attempts....so...I wiped system using twrp and reflash ROM.....data wipe not necessary....only system wipe......and den once u do that everything back to normal.....for updating binary superuser is giving problems....so download it manually from xda or romtoolbox and push it to /system/xbin and set perms.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Already installed and confirmed, thank you very much!

On a personal note, I'll be sticking with CM7.2 for some time to come. CM10 that is in the works is still in Alpha stages, useful only for people who want to test it. Currently I need my phone 100% functional, have very limited time for testing and certainly I can't reinstall all my apps every few days. I was doing all that back when CM7 was in alpha/beta stages, this time I'll leave the honors to other people :).
[Defy Android Development] elguaxo:
Now if I delete the cached permissions, then those apps can get the superuser permissions back when requested. But I still can't update the su binary via the Superuser App:

Any hints? The main problem was solved, but I still wonder about this issue when trying the update the binary.

edit: BTW, root access is enabled for Apps and ADB

I applied it and the su binary is now 3.1.1, but it's not working now :eek: If an app requests superuser permissions, it just freezes unless you force close it.

I get for example an error saying:

Check whether the permissions on /system/xbin/su are 4766. The 4 (rws instead of rwx in ls -l) is important ;)

I just reinstalled your last nightly to solve the problem. su has the permissions as you describe, but I still can't update it via the Superuser app.

No biggie, since everything else is working fine.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
I can't update either the su binary, couldn't even before the latest nightly with the CM9 backport. Have the same problem on another Android device, so I concluded that the 3.1.1 su binary is buggy.
