[Nexus S 4G Android Development] diesburg:
Almost the same here, 2/9 was the only one I ever had issues with. But almost everyone here with issues is at least using a different kernel, that's why I don't even really keep up on this thread. They just don't get that THEY are causing issues by using everything but the default kernel and screwing with the from every way possible. Most of this feedback is useless to Pete because of that.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MrDrumngun:
Actually I did a clean install with 2/9 and left it stock and still experienced reboots. I even formatted boot and system before I flashed as you should always do anyways.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I'm not 100% sure, but I do believe I had my min set at 100 Mhz when the freeze occurred. I flashed Matrix 16.5 afterward and haven't had any issues since. I might switch back to Pete's included stock kernel and make sure it's set at 200 min this time (or I might just wait till the next nightly).

Most of the aftermarket kernels here have been modded to work properly at 100 Mhz, but Pete's is mostly stock. Freezes and SOD could be explained by the 100 Mhz min, but reboots are most likely another issue.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
Some BLD and VooDoo audio support and this ROM is golden.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dwielunski:
I just had a reboot, on a clean install with the included kernel. I haven't changed any CPU settings either. It's not just user tweaks that are causing instability in the past couple of builds.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] diesburg:
Running great with latest nightly here. Stock kernel. Although, because of how great it was running I upped my max CPU speed to 1200. I really don't have a single issue to report. I'm sticking with this nightly until an official stable build is released.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TheMachoMidget:
Hey what are your guys performance settings on this rom? It seems like interactive is so laggy with the launcher so any suggestions? Also 200 or 100 MHz low value specifically for battery?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
If using the included kernel, 200 Mhz and either Ondemand or Conservative.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TheMachoMidget:
Which is better for battery life? I've heard conservative from some because it keeps the phone on lower frequencies but others say on demand because it races to idle quickest so what do u think? And yeah stock kernel. Jw why 200mhz?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I really don't notice a performance difference between conservative and on demand, but battery seems to do better with conservative. 200 MHz because Pete's kernel so far is pretty much stock which is designed to bottom out at 200 mhz. Some of us have had some issues trying to force 100 MHz minimum on this kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Mine rebooted on stock. Noticed the kernel panic had references to the GPU driver. Sent the logs to Peter.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] davidstjohn1:
I am not sure why but my wifi signal is next to nothing and I am right next to my router. When I first installed this from, my wifi signal was all the way up perfect! I'm not sure what to do about this does anybody know about this problem?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] big irn:
Same here. I did everything exactly as stated. No differentiation at all. So far I've flashed Gomez, gummy, bixie and this last. Each one with its own set of issues but none the exact same. I don't touch the kernel or change any settings. My only guess is that maybe I have too many apps on my phone. I mainly use Facebook, foursquare, Reddit is fun, slacker and wifi tether set to netd mode using galaxy nexus s wifi driver (which may be the culprit) but my girlfriend doesn't run those and has the similar issues.

If need be I can post a YouTube video of me flashing my phone and the subsequent issues. Not sure why someone would suggest any one is making up the problems they are experiencing or chalking it up to user error.

Sorry for the rant. Not being passive aggressive I really do appreciate the work that goes into this. I am a dba and application dev and know how frustrating it is when you get vague and inconsistent feedback from end users that I can't troubleshoot.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] hllywd:
Finally got around the boot loop problem that I had the last several updates. I think it had something to do with the speed. But I wasn't sure if it was going from 100 to 200 min, or 1000 to 800 max.

I now have it at 200 & 1000, wiped all, fixed permissions and everything is good once again in paradise.

Great job Pete.

Oh and I'm running Petes kernel and liking it.

I Love The Smell Of Burnt Rubber Anytime
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] joenathane:
Nightlies? More like weeklies! Amirite?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Yup lol :p. Sometimes on par with the CM9 builds that are coming every 2 weeks or so...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rashone:
My phone bootloops on ics at 800 no matter what ROM I use. Never did on gb so who knows. I run 200/1000 too and all is good. Love the stability of bb
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
The only reboot I got from the latest nightly was 4 days ago. The kernel panic had references to the GPU driver. Not too bad, even stock GB had issues.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] big irn:
Does anybody else have download issues? Sometimes it takes me several retries to download a file.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
Had this issue last week. Use Titanium Backup to wipe download manager.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] trn_psycho:
Anyone else have issues with voicemail on this ROM? Maybe it's just me, but the only way I can get voicemail to work is by dialing my entire number. (1 sends me off someplace else, and selecting the voicemail icon tells me it's not supported.)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Open phone dialer. Press menu key and go to settings. Change the voicemail setting.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] trn_psycho:
Crud... Now I feel stupid...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
FINALLY!!! A status bar brightness toggle!!! I LOVE THIS ROM!!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
Any way to keep the toggles open instead of having to hit the settings button every time?

Edit: I found it. Unchecked toggle auto hide.

Also is anyone having the keyboard bug? It just stops working on me and disappears. Comes back seconds later. Very frustrating.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Under display settings there's an option to not auto hide the toggles.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
I'm also having an an auto rotate issue. Its not working. I'm stuck in portrait :(
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
I just reflashed the rom without wiping and auto rotate is functional again. This happened to me in cm9 too. Also i just downloaded an alternate ics keyboard and all is good. Means somethings wrong with your stock keyboard Pete. It freezes and disappears.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
I can confirm the keyboard issue as well.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] big irn:
Thanks!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] :
i want facebook sync back! other thing making me consider other roms since pete's is awesome.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ehiggins:
Does anyone else have some apps not showing? Amica insurance and crj 200 wt and balance planning tool don't show for me
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Yes, everyone using this ROM. It's because of the Market Fingerprint in the build.prop. Pete used the fingerprint from the leaked 4.0.4 build assuming it was gonna be the official ICS release for the NS4G.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

I'm unable to replicate this keyboard issue myself, but I don't doubt you. Pete has modded the keyboard to look and work nicer on larger screens (Galaxy Nexus). I suppose there could be some side effect for some folks. Is there any particular scenario that will cause the keyboard to vanish, or is it just random?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
It disappeard while I was using the Stock Messenger. Also while searching in the Market. Pretty much at random times with random apps.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Is anyone having this weird issue with charging? Sometimes when I plug my charger to the phone the screen won't turn on so I will pull out the cable again. But once I do that I notice my phone thinks (at least the UI) it's still charging. The Status page does show "Discharging" though.

Another issue is the phone doesn't wanna charge. Usually a reboot fixes this though.

I am on the latest nightly, everything stock, Interactive 200/1000. I did upgrade from the previous nightly though (wiped dalvik/cache) so I might try formatting /system, /boot, /cache and /data if this issue continues.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] The Doctor PhD:
No problems here. Does it do the same thing if you power off and charge?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Never had issues when the Phone is off.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
This keyboard issue is nuts. I'm gonna reply every time it happens. Now its happening on all 3 ice keyboards I have. I literally almost fastballed my phone at the wall a few minutes ago. It happened like 3 times in less than 20 seconds.

And now it ch
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
Happened above. Its very irritating. Enough to get off the rom. Your rom isn't as bugless as we hoped it would Pete ;) lol
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I highly suggest a full wipe and re-install. If you're seeing this error on three different keyboards it's pretty safe to say that Pete's keyboard is not the culprit. I've been running this ROM from the get go and haven't come across any keyboard anomalies whatsoever. There are literally thousands of people using Buggless Beast across 9 different devices and only 2 reports of what your describing. There's either some corrupt data or an app that's not playing nice here.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] raiderep:
just flashed the latest last night and everything is smooth as butter as usual...even chrome beta works now...good times ;-)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] koolkid09:
Want to flash but a few questions.

I'm on the 4.0.4 leak build and GPS doesn't work. Does GPS work on the latest build?

Does MMS work.

What kernel do you use? I use Mathkids kernel for BLN.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
I did man. Thats what fixed the auto rotate issue. If youre wondering about my wiping habits..

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Format /system

Format /boot

Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache

Also about other apps causing interference.. I barely use any other apps. Just your usual tools like ns tools, fb,g+ and a game or 2. Also you said it... across NINE different devices. With ever device being different I think that leaves more room for error. Not only that if you look back a few other users are reporting it too..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
If you truly believe that the issue lies within pete's rom then send him a log cat with the data during the issue. If there's a problem I can assure you he would definitely like to fix it, but he cant do that if he can't recreate it himself. Not only would you be helping yourself but you'd be helping the other 0.002 % of the people also experiencing the error.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] cheyne1:
It is true. If there is only one or two ppl its almost 99.99999 percent user error. Something somehow; whether it be the way you wipe to the kernel that's used to the data and/or the way its restored.

Tappin and talkin kindle fire + cm9 lovely
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
Well I went and flashed the new cm9 night lies and all is good :-\
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] robertrulez:
So I just installed this bad boy over night and I'm loving it. My one pet peeve is the lack of calendar. WHERE IS IT????
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] thatk1d:
It should be there. Its on my phone.

Check /system/app to see if its even on there.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Calendar is included in the ROM. Is the Calendar.apk in the system/app directory? If so, make sure the permissions are set correctly and then reboot.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Did you install over a previous BuglessBeast version? If not you will need to format /system, /data, /cache and /boot and then flash the latest nightly.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

So far after a clean full wipe (system, data, cache and boot) I am not experiencing any reboots yet.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Oh man I hope Peter comes back with kernel fixes for the reboots ppl are reporting. No need for new features.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] raiderep:
Not one reboot on my end with latest, been on it 2 days now...
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
Tried out CM9 and its fast. Hopefully BB matches and surpasses that ;)
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] drofenaz:
Fantastic ROM. The only thing I don't like about it is the kernel that comes with it. The battery life was awful.

I switched to the Matrix kernel (17) and had much better performance and battery life.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] grifforama:
You're kidding right ?

This is Pete's stock. Its phenomenal
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Cobaltikus:
Canon EPP - Canon Easy Photo Print

Canon EPP - Canon Easy Photo Print

This app on the market says it's not compatible with my device

Sprint Nexus S 4G

However, it used to be, before flashing this ROM.

If even possible, how can I force it to install with this ROM?

I love this ROM but if I can't have both, I'll need to switch to another so I can use Canon EPP

I found an old apk, but it's too old doesn't have the features I need in the newer version available on the market for the stock ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Edit your build fingerprint in the build.prop to read like this-

ro.build.description=sojus-user 2.3.7 GWK74 185293 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=google/sojus/crespo4g:2.3.7/GWK74/185293:user/release-keys
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
it's probably caused by the 4.0.4 fingerprint in the build.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Cobaltikus:
Canon EPP - Canon Easy Photo Print - SOLVED

Very cool - Could one conceivably download and install virtually any app using this method? So long as a compatible description and fingerprint is known?

Trying this now... didn't work...

checking the file to make sure my changes stuck... nope...

mounting as read write... trying again...

checking the file to make sure my changes stuck... they're there...

trying again... didn't work...

rebooting now... didn't work...

Force stop and clear data from Market App...

trying again... Woo hoo! Success!

THANKS!!!!!

Noticing the included gapps in BB are older than CM9 GAPPS. Wondering if they will ever get updated.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] njeske:
Possibly. In the meantime, you can just flash a newer gapps package after you flash BB.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] lamename:
Off subject, but I wanted to mention that razer(x) blue infitnium them is confirmed working. Looks incredible..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] drofenaz:
I'm not kidding. My battery life wasn't nearly as good on the stock ROM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MtDewFella:
maybe some one can explain this to me, I was under the impression that nightly releases happened every night, bugless beast nightly for our phone hasn't updated since feb 16th. (I know these guys aren't paid and there doing it in spare time, life happens, etc) but when you call these releases nightlies and then there's no releases for a while, a post explaining that something came up or explaining upfront that these don't release every single night would be nice. Anywho is this normal for gaps in nightly's, sorry if I sound rude or impatient.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chip_sealander:
I tried aosp's rom for a while, it was really good, but then it blew up on me, tons of fc's. I installed it agian and after about 1 month it did it again. So..

I went to stock GB for awhile.

Decided to try this one. . seems really responsive. I had a little hiccup when I tried to use maps for the first time, all the running apps seemed to crash. but its been running really smooth since then, nothing to complain about except .. I seem to have shorter battery life.. especially towards the end of the battery, seems like it just dies at the end, it goes from orange to dead. I do see red but not for long.

Thank you
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Pete only posts a new nightly if there are relevant changes to the code and he has the time to do it. He is a collage student so during the school year updates are fewer and further between. Not to mention that he maintains this ROM for 8 other devices and not just the NS4G. You can follow him on twitter and on his github if you would like a better idea of when new releases are coming.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] seezar:
Nightlies is just a term in the software development world to refer to builds done frequently between release cycles (generally once daily if development is very active)... sure a new build could be built every night but if development for a few days is slow then what's the point? Shrug, Pete does this on his own time, he really doesn't owe us any explanation to when he is going to work on it, although he is pretty active via twitter.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] MtDewFella:
Thanks for the explanation, I know he doesn't owe us any explanation I just said it would be nice. Now I know what they mean by that term and can adjust my expectations accordingly.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] onigiri1692:
I want to report a bug I have experienced at least two times on the latest build of BB. For some reason every now and then my phone will refuse to charge, it doesn't matter if I use a wall plug or charge it through USB, it simply won't charge unless I reboot the phone.

While not a huge deal, still very annoying. When it happened last night I thought something was wrong with the USB port or cable, but that turned out not to be the case as a reboot fixed the issue.

I am running nightly 2/16 and am using the stock kernel. No other modifications have been made to the rom at this time, everything is stock as Pete intended it. If this happens again I will try to get a logcat to better help.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] DominoDoug:
I've had this happen multiple times. I've also had the phone tell me it was charging when it was unplugged. And for some reason the phone always charges to 100% despite having other settings.

QUESTION

Does the tethering ability cost anything??? Will Sprint notice me using it? And, does it work as hotspot??? Thanks for the help.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] rasengan82:
It is against TOC but I've used it for years. As long as you don't abuse it you should be fine.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xJU1C3x:
But, will they notice if I started using it?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] beejcox:
I've never had a problem with it. I don't use it a ton, though... but I do use it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] xJU1C3x:
What, if I may inquire, would classify as "abusing" it???? That is, if I'm only using it to get internet on my iPod???

Installed today's build over the 2-16 build with a cache/dalvik wipe and all of my gapps are crashing back to the home screen. Also, there's a notification message about needing to setup a backup account. And in Settings>Accounts, my Google account is gone, and if I try to add an account Google isn't even an option. Not sure what's going on. Rebooted a couple of times, but that didn't have an effect. Too bad I forgot to backup before flashing. :(

Guess I'll have to try a full wipe and re-flash.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
It flashed fine for me with a cache and dalvik wipe.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] njeske:
Not sure what went wrong the first time around, but I was able to re-flash after a full wipe, restore apps with Titanium Backup and all is well again.

Aside from the flashing problems (which I don't blame on the ROM or Pete, just sharing my experience) this build seems fantastic. Much faster than 2-16 in my opinion.
