reboot - Alpha2

Hey all, I've just experienced a soft reboot (no CyanodenMod splash screen; just the colorful boot ani).

I was in handcent (3.9.10) sending a text using the lastest swype keyboard (3.26.92.37604).

WiFi is on and the phone is charging via usb.

As I swyped away the phone froze for I guess about 8-10 seconds, then the boot ini displayed. I tried to find the file system_last_kmsg, to post it. Does CM not create that, does the fact that that file wasn't created offer any clues??

Is there another file that perhaps CM creates that can help diagnose what caused the reboot??

I've been running CM9 since Alpha-0; this is my second reboot (i think it was on alpha1). The first happened when I removed the phone from the wall charger. It was pointed out then that if you take the phone off the charger awkwardly (which was the case) the phone may reboot.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this ROM :) this is NOT meant to be sarcastic in any way shape or form.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimitz87:
thanks for the tip!

what modem/PRL should we be on with cm9a2?

Chad
[Epic 4G Android Development] slayer450:
Agreed, I've been running since it came out. Having less problems than most other "stable" roms.

after flashing this rom i lost internet connectivity. i want to run this rom!!!! lol is there any fixes for this
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimitz87:
read.:rolleyes:

Chad
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
It is recommended that u use either EI22 or EL30 (or is that just for CM7?) Either way, modems are independent and can be run on whatever ROM/kernel you are on. Find the right one as YMMV with each one, but again, I would personally just recommend EI22 or EL30 ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimitz87:
that's what I meant:o

I just did the BML flash, wow what a great great tool that is instead of going back to a BML rom and flashing updates then back to cm9.

any cons to EL30? I'm on EI22 now.

and classic7876 try toggling airplane mode off and on.

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That was the YMMV part of the last post. Your mileage may vary. Just like everything for this phone you will find some that say EL30 sucks monkey balls and others that say it is better than sliced bread...the only con is not seeing what it will do for you....oh yeah and it causes lasers to shoot out of your phone and melt your brain...almost forgot that one....lol.

Has anyone noticed the signal seems to be worse in CM9? I'm still using EI22 modem, same as I was on CM7 or any TW ROM. TWOS is up considerably seeing as though I'm pretty much in the same areas as usual...home/work.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nimitz87:
Another reboot fixed 3G weird.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I was helping a dev test a future ROM based on EL30; I tested both EI22 and EL30 modems for 3G speeds via speed.net app. EL30 (for me) was about 1/3 the speed of EI22. I quickly went back to EI22.

Downstream just blew, upstream was about the same. Again this test was not on CM9; but I am sure that it would be the roughly same because the modems are independant of the ROM.

My test results I put in our testing log:

EI22 3G data:

speedtest.net (signal meter 3 bars)

pass #1: ping 144ms, 1054kbps down, 290kbps up

pass #2: ping 175ms, 802kbps down, 251kbps up

pass #3: ping 295ms, 1121kbps down, 285kbps up

Then with EL30:

3G data

signal meter 3 bars

pass #1: ping 540ms, 369kbps down, 262kbps up

pass #2: ping 416ms, 370kbps down, 244kbps up

pass #3: ping 198ms, 307kbps down, 297kbps up

ewww EL30 modem 3G SUCKS !!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] stkiswr:

[Epic 4G Android Development] drunkskunk:
No. I'm serious. Don't know the troll u all speeketh. But I'm serious about the modem. Wasn't there a way to flash modems thru cwm? I'm on cm7 now. Thanks for the help. Xda is awesome and in no way am I that troll you think I am.

[Epic 4G Android Development] PAPutzback:
Thanks.

I have one more question. When I flashed this ROM was an included Kernel flashed with it? My kernel is listed as 2.6.35.7-g58f7575 warren@asgard #2.

I am curious about that because, since I updated to the alpha 2 my phone has been very laggy. Frequently it asks me if I want to wait or close a program. I've never seen that warning before. So I am trying to track down any steps I might have missed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
Yes, when you flash the ROM, the stock CM9 kernel gets flashed along with it.

It shouldn't be the cause of any lag, though. Experiment with the different kernels and see if they work out better for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] PAPutzback:
The latest from February 7th. I didn't think there were nightlies, only releases after the dev thought he had a stable build. I looked at the link in the OP and I don't see anything after the 7th.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
Ya, sorry, I got confused between threads, cause I had CM7 and CM9 open. I edited my earlier post to reflect that. But, ya, if you're on alpha 2, it can be a little laggy at times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] PAPutzback:
Thanks for the heads up. It is my daily driver so I'll just hang in there until the next update comes out. I'd take a look at a different ROM if it wasn't such a pain to re-install everything and deal with the Good For Enterprise app bugging out when I change ROMs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Vizzo:
For those posting that data is slow on cm9 with EL30, I doubt it has to do with this rom or the modem, and has more to do with your location and towers. Here are my 3g data tests on cm9 completely stock with EL30 modem.

That's not its purpose what it does is raise the minimum ammount of free RAM for example for most phones its set to about 60mbs with the script it changes it to your liking 100 for multitasking 150 for speed etc etc.

Hmm I don't think that's the solution I was looking for. My problem is that all of gmail contacts all the email addresses I may have contacted ever show up in my contacts. Back on cm7 or any other rom I can remember there being a display option to show only contacts with phone numbers eliminating all the contacts that were just email addresses. Does option exist on cm9 or am I just not seeing a very obvious solution. I have a feeling it is the latter.

Chad
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
For starters, both of you dump the third-party kernels before coming and complaining about bugs here.

Do that now.

Done? Okay. nimitz87, your cellular data issue is in no way a CM9 bug. It sounds, like on many TW ROMs, to be an issue of bad data. Factory reset and reflash with alpha3 only, you will likely see the problem clear up.

If anyone is missing the network options described in the blog post, you are probably not on alpha 3. Check your build number and reflash as needed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
On alpha 3 if you go to system settings you touch "more" under wireless and mobile network, then go down to mobile network, then system select. You'll see a bunch of options.

I'm not sure if this was suppose to be on alpha 2 but its def. There on 3.

CM9 alpha 2, factory rest twice, wipe dalvak and cache. I love the ROM and have been using it since alpha 1. Great work devs.

Today I had to FC contacts twice because it froze when trying to dial a number (area code, then number & the number wasn't in my contacts).

Also, people have been complaining about surrounding sounds being to loud when I talk to them. ie. the sound of other people in a room when i am talking on the phone, the sound of the car when I drive. I don't use a headset or speaker. People also say I sound like i am in a tunnel. After reading the changelog of alpha 3, it sound like that may be fixed.

Question about Auto Brightness and battery life; I usually don't use it to save on battery life but with the fix in alpha 3 will battery life be about the same with or without auto? I usually have brightness set about 20%.

[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Strongly recommended to NOT flash themes on CM9 until the theming engine is added back to CM9. You are getting on screen buttons because you flashed a poorly made theme, probably for a different phone entirely. You are replacing part of the operating system. If you change kernel or random chunks of CM9 you shouldn't complain in the official CM9 thread. Complain to the author of your mod.
