Facing occasional freezing issue specially in Dailer Aurora v3 beta2 and sometime at home screen.

Could you do some fix for this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I've had an idea about disappearing media. I had a look at the code and it deletes the database for the external card if it hasn't been used for 3 months.

It could do this if the system time is messed up somehow and perhaps this happens sometimes when waking from suspend if the modem rpc time server isn't ready.

Try setting your time manually rather than from the network and I'll look at the time rpc code.

Just an idea, could be completely wrong but it makes some sense.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] schuessm:
Hello,

and what apps have you running on your system? Only the apps from the rom or anything else?

Thanks for the information
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
I have it set manually and I don't have the problem... So that could be it...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
No, manual setting of clock does not solve that disappearing media, because I use that manual setting all the time and media problem exist. But my problem is now, that I couldn't disable MTP setting and therefore I cannot seen any more SD card from my phone on PC. I try to do it with setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb, but there are no changes, no mass stroge connection. And MTP can not be untick at all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Looks like this:

http://epiccm.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/details-on-disappearing-sd-media-issue.html

could be the problem, I don't have google+ installed so that would explain why it doesn't affect me. I'll add those patches now and make an update.

Thanks to zephyr1988 for finding this...

edit: OK, this fix is in aurora_3.0_beta2_update1.zip

it also has an updated kernel with a patch to increase the panel frame rate to 53fps and enable smartass2 (not the default)

This is also thanks to zephyr1988.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
I don't have Google+ too but I have the problem.

Maybe other app have the same effect as Google+!

I'll try the patch, thanks!

Then i'll post results.

Tonight I had all the ROM Bugs at once :D

For the first time I had the Volume Keys Bug and the SD Card bug.

1. I was listening music and the screen started blinking and the phone after one minute +/- rebooted

Screen Blinking Bug

2. A few minutes later it had the same bug again

3. It rebooted one more time and after 2 minutes listening music my Volume Keys and my Power buttom had stoped working. I unpluged the batery and it started up.

4. When it started, I went to the same music (after 10 minutes I couldn't listen the all song :confused:) and my Album Art didn't appear in Google Player, the songs started to play but the phone didn't reproduced it. I only could listen the songs if I open them with file explorer.

5. I rebooted the phone twice to see if the problem was solved but no success

6. I went to Storage, dismounted the SD Card and the phone rebooted without my intervention

7. After that the songs appeared again and they could be played in Google Play

dmesg, mmcblk0p7, logcat (don't know if it's well done) and screenshots of batery usage (radio and wifi usage) attached.

I'm running 3.0 beta 2 for two days and I didn't had any problem so far.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
I dont have Google+, still have the media card. bug.. downloading and installing this patch.. might fix it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zephyr1988:
If you read the article it mentions that Google+ is only a trigger.

Other applications could trigger the same problem.

Therefore the fix dzo included fixes the underlying OS bugs that are triggered by applications like Google+.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Yes, it was what I thought!

Well, I think the bug is fixed, at least when we reboot the phone the musics/pics are all there and the ringtones are being assumed correctly!

Let's wait a couple of hours to see if it is 100% right!

Thanks dzo, many thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Yes, I realise now that I had included those two patches up until about 2.11 but never pushed the repo.

A couple of weeks ago I moved to a new build machine and cloned my changes from github but this didn't include mediaprovider.

This explains everything, so I'm confident that the fix will work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
Hey Dzo, after flashing this last update1 over beta2, rom became slugguish, menu transitions and scrolling became slower and not fluid. someone else noticed this?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, was about to post this, it's very very sluggish after the new update :-s maybe it's the scanner working in the background? Will wait to see if it returns to normal... maybe returning to the previous boot.img will fix this without affecting the new media apk that was included?

Edit: something is very wrong with the new update :-s ROM has become unbearably slow in animations, transitions and scrolling.... programs still open fast though...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zephyr1988:
Can you try fps2d from market and report the avg value?

The new kernel has a generic value that should provide most panels with ~53fps.

However if some people report low fps, I guess the value should be configurable.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I guess it could be the fps patch, try using the kernel from the original ROM and let us know if that fixes it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I'm getting an average of 29-34 fps :-s

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
Trying with new MediaProvider.apk right now.

EDIT: with older kernel (without fps patch), Everything's smooth.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
All is good here!

Avg FPS - 53

Mediascanner is working perfectly!

Thanks once again

Edit: Ops, after 4-5 fps test, they decrease to an average of 30fps...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] btrst:
confirming the sluggishness. especially in games.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Same behaviour, starts with 50 but decreases after a few seconds. Returning to previous boot.img fixes this, it keeps a constant ~47fps and finishes at a medium of 47fps. ROM is all fast again :-)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
All fixed with update1a. Dzo, did you just returned to previous boot.img or does the update contain anything new?

BTW, imo, next thing now is, after booting the phone, wifi connecting to the network but always staying grey, without internet connectivity until one disables and re-enables wifi... :D

After that, I don't see what any other bugs the ROM has...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
1st Test: Average 53 FPS

2nd Test: Average 53 FPS

3rd Test: Average 53 FPS

4th Test: Average 53 FPS

5th Test: Average 53 FPS

Games seem to be running fine too.

I used a config that for the kernel that I'd been experimenting with so I've made update1b with the usual config.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cayar:
Breaking up the wifi connection randomly, sometimes the hardware crashes. This problem still continues.

Thank you for the effort.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
I see, and which one is better?

That bug and disabling haptic for atmel users don't work, we have to do it on terminal.

After those are corrected we have an very stable rom
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
dzo, wifi download speed is so slow in my phone (and my father's phone too).

When I try to download a ROM from google repo (or any other download, including from market) it's speed is ~20kbps... But sometimes it is OK... Most of the times it's slow...

Any idea? I've been trying to fix this, including changing io schedulers, formatting the sd card, etc... No luck.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Another thing, I don't know if aayone noticed that, but when we try to find networks manually, an error appears. We can only select automatically.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
The new FPS patch is doing wonders for me. The old patch that you had in Oxygen and really any other ROM gave me screen tearing, frame skipping and overall a worse experience, so I'd just like to say congratulations and thank you to zephyr1988. Does it simply disable v-sync?

It would be nice to simply have an option to enable or disable it though, for the people having problems. I think certain panels just don't react the same way, back in 2.3 the FPS unlock patch gave me tearing and stuttering but no one else seemed to complain.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
Noticed slow downstream over wifi too. I tougth it might be my router, but today I returned to .32 kernel based roms and could reach easily 10mbit downstream.

Otherwise I really like this wifi driver power saving capabilities.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Good luck making yourself heard with that problem... :)

I experience the same as you... Thought it was the router, but like you said, everything was OK... And it isn't about the power saving features as I remember with the .35 kernel without the new wifi driver, I had bad speed too...

Well, I don't download much stuff in the phone, but...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] magictwins:
I have this issue too
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
I had problems too with 54 fps but only in games. With latest update everything is smooth again. Dzo, are you going to keep the fps like before or at 54 from now on? I think the old worked good for everybody...

Thanks for everything

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
Spoke too soon, I see stuttering too with the FPS unlock patch, but only in 3D games, not the UI or fps2D it seems. Looking through Github, why is "pinfo->lcd.refx100" set at 6118? Shouldn't it be set at 5300 or something closer to the panel's limit?

After upgrade Version 3.0_beta2 I had 2 problems. First I used custom boot animation and get error screen. I don't know what is it, but my phone can booting normally. Second I get lag on homescreen and menu transitions. Now after update 1a and 1b everything back to normal. Thank you Dzo
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dyzanel:
I'm using Google+ in every version of Aurora and I haven't media problems at all. I am on 3.0beta2 now. Only one bug for me is occasional problem with wifi (slow speed, sometimes doesn't start).

Ive got big problems with battery. I think this isnt normal behavior. Its my battery after 8 hours... it was really good until random restart and it dropped dramatically then second restart came and it dropped again. I dont know what to do and nobody mentioned same problem. I wanted to do same 3day battery life like that one guy on previous page it looked promising until random reboot... anybody know what to do?

i am running latest version before 3.0beta
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
There's something wrong with the battery calculations....

Try this... Recharge till 100%, then restart the phone n times (lets say... 7) and each time you restart you have 7% or 8% less in the counter.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Puzzlegirl:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
It could be...

There are 3 little things that kill recent batteries (and most people does that!):

- Battery% > 80%

- Battery% < 20%

- High temperature usage (this one is a killer!)

Usually, people think (because of the old NiCd) that Litium-ion batteries have the so known "Memory effect", so they treat their batteries like 0% -> 100% -> 0% -> 100% -> 0% (etc)... And that is SO wrong...

You can easily make small charges (e.g. 47% -> 65%) and there is no problem...

As stated above, battery life will be improved if you keep it always

20% < Battery% < 80%. Read (a bit) More

My latest Samsung Laptop even has an option in the BIOS to "Block the laptop from charging above 80%".

Well... If you fit the pattern, it's probably a (close to) dead battery...

Mine has an average duration of 20h (but I call a lot...), so, seeing some people around here get 3 days, I think my battery might be a bit damaged, I don't know...

Does 3.0_beta2_update1b include the changes of 3.0_beta2_update1 and 3.0_beta2_update1a or do I need to install all three ones one by one?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
So, a small list of bugs until now (using latest version/kernel):

- Atmel users can't turn off haptic feedback, only in terminal.

- When trying to select manually a network, we get an error.

- Sometimes Wi-fi doesn't connect (yes, it appeared again, unfortunately)

- Some notification drawer buttons don't work (like 2g/3g toggle).

- Insert bug here (I can't remember all of them)

Question: Is it best to enable the option "Force GPU composition" or not? And why?

Have you tried light flow? It's an app that can control the LED for specific events. The notifications work well as long as you won't let the huawei charge. Then the green LED turns on, won't change or turn off until you disconnect the cable.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
I have tried that appp, it's nice, but the point is that LED notifications is a stock thing, it should work as on previous versions. In version 1.0 and 1.1 we had similar problems and DZO fixed it, he said he have changed the machine where he compiles Aurora, the SDCARD bug was a change he forgot to commit, maybe this is the case.

There's no point in not using the LED in conformity, he lost many hours "tunning" the LED driver. MY idea was, besides fixing the notification, maybe he could put a flag in build.prop for instance, where 0=blue, 1=red, 2=green, 4=white, etc so we can change the LED color permanently. This would be very very nice, just my opinion.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] seifed:
I've installed "53 fps patch" and finally i can get 60 Hz refresh rate!

I'm not really sure why is there 53 fps cap with vsync on (it should usually match refresh rate, which is 61), although there is seems to be quite a bit of history regarding Novatek NT35582 and correlations between LCD frequency and FPS cap on various devices.

There are also was some occasional sluggishness and slowdown in games. It was gone after changing "debug.composition.type" to "gpu" (probably not very good for battery life, as well as this whole refresh rate increasing though).

Anyway, now everything is super-smooth and completely lag-free.
