No full wipe required. Like you, I needed to install twice which is odd and makes no sense, but it works!

Edit: after a couple of hours everything is looking good. None of the lagginess experienced without The fix. Still early days, but so far it is looking good.

GPS Not Working

My GPS is not working I have tried installing the ROM thrice, but still it is not working.
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
I have had both disabled from when they were introduced on this device as I value battery longevity over 5-10% more available working storage. If I need more space for some reason I'll activate swap on the sd-card and disable it when the need is past. Thus far I have not had the need to do so (other than for testing purposes).

I tried this kernel and it has the same problem for me as the 130113 JellyX kernel, no GSM signal. This is a rather weird problem as I seem to be the only one that is affected by it. I installed sevenrock's version of the quarx kernel over this one and GSM signal is back to normal again.

When I disable DRM my phone is faster, and smoother. For example - before I stop DRM i have wia wifi speed abou 4mbit and now about 12mbit (yes, its wifi connection, but when is phone laggy wifi is too slow).

I installed latest build (10/01) and gps IS working and compass also points +- in the right direction. Cross-checked with my gps-device!!
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
That sounds more like a problem with the baseband settings than something directly kernel-related. Just try again I'd say. If it still does not work, change your baseband settings, just remember which one you were using to be able to go back to it. Maybe the mere act of changing the settings will kick the radio in to gear...

don't you think it's an AUDIO DRIVER problem?

I'm now on CM9 12.11.16 from Epsy (ICS4.0.4), and I can say all is stable and functional, a very daily-use ROM.

I would be glad if I can return to CM10 JB finding the same experience...

From my tries I suspect the problem lays in audio driver (not totally compatible to make our DEFY really working with JB: I remember that the actual audio driver we are using in this ROM it's only a good workaround by maniac103 in 12.07.18 and nadlabak in 12.07.23).

In fact, I can remark that the problem isn't only the ringtone bug after some hours (appeared in the last two months), but a general audio gap (present from the beginning of this adventure). Also starting from a fresh all-wipe installation I always notice a significative gap between the event (eg. the arrival of an MMS) and the sound notifing that event.

Also I can compare the instantly manner in which CM9 connects and calls (aka: I can immediately hear free-signal sound after the call command when I type a phone number and I can immediately hear the voice of a caller when I touch the answer button... all these things aren't possible in CM10).

Don't you experience the same things?

I'm not a developer, but the symptoms are the same as those I noticed when I was trying to make work a sound card on my PC using a not fully compatible driver made for windows Vista on Windows Seven... : Rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] paulle:
i can confirm these gaps (mb525 green lense) quarx 2013.01.10
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Unfortunately your suggestion does not work. I changed the baseband setting to Central Europe 3.4.x and rebooted... nothing, then back to the South African baseband, reboot and still no GSM signal.

The interesting this is the APN settings are missing too with this and the 130113 JellyX kernels
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Do you still need these outputs? I have a phone with the audio disappearing problem currently, I can provide logs too. But the phone is running a CM10 and Blechd0se kernel I compiled myself on 12th of December, not any of the latest releases.

And about the audio driver bugs, gaps people are talking about, I have noticed that too. When playing temple run, the sound of the guy collecting coins is severely lagged in the build I am on (12th Dec self compiled), but on the 10th Jan CM10 and the "old" 2.6.32.9 kernel by sevenrock the same audio effect plays normally like it should.

But here are the problems currently in the phone I have, just to make sure we are talking of the same thing:

1. Loses signal intermitently (changing basebands does nothing)

2. When I do get network signal, calls have no audio (rebooting doesn't really fix this)

Other than this the phone is snappy, app launching etc.
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
Sure, the more the merrier. Put the data here for all to see, maybe someone will spot something. Especially since you use a Blechd0se kernel (did you save the .config?) as I have not noticed any lags yet. That might of course be because of the total lack of games on my phone so don't take my observations for granted. Once you've collected those logs etc. from your phone you could try the kernel I posted here to see whether it still exhibits audio lag.
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
I've noticed the audio lag is very obvious when receiving an SMS if you have vibration enabled. If the phone vibrates and then the audio notification is heard, you have the bug. After a reboot the vibration and audio happen at the same time.

[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Random weird thought:

Would a corruption of the /cache partition have any adverse effects? CWM recovery kept spitting out mount errors for /cache. I just now flashed a ROM+kernel combo that I know for sure doesn't have the audio/network issues, but still it had the issues. So I went to stock recovery to wipe there and flash an SBF, and stock recovery too reports the same mount errors for /cache! After doing a data wipe in stock (it wipes /cache too), the mount error disappears.

So right now I have a known good ROM+kernel and a freshly "repartitioned" /cache, will boot up and check.

EDIT: Holy crap! Wiping data and cache from Stock recovery helped solve the bugs I had!

So I did this effectively, starting from a ROM+kernel in which I had no audio and no network.

1. Wipe data in CWM, flash the full wipe zip, install Jan 10th CM10 with sevenrock's kernel. (this didn't solve any of the bugs)

2. Wipe data from stock recovery (This I think recreates the partitions for /data and /cache, or just does something differently than a wipe from CWM)

3. Rebooted (did NOT flash an sbf or reflash any ROM+kernel)

4. Booted up to the same Jan 10th CM and sevenrock's kernel that I flashed in step 1.

5. No audio bug, Network connected :D
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
Test: JellyX kernel, test for ringtone bug; might solve black screen issue

The black screen seems to occur more often in these Blechd0se kernels as can be read on their thread. The current git repository shows a number of reverted commits which might solve the problem. I have compiled a new kernel from current git using mostly the same config as last time for those who want to give it a try. I installed in on my phone, it seems to run but as I only just booted the thing I can not say much more. As the rate of churn in Blechd0se is rather high it remains to be seen what else has changed and whether this is for the better or for the worse.

Do remember that the prime objective of testing Blechd0se kernels is to find out whether the 'ringtone' bug is present or absent. It does not make much sense to start chasing other unrelated and most likely Blechd0se-specific bugs, nor is this the right place to discuss those - head for the Blechd0se thread instead.

The zip attached to this post contains a kernel and related tiwlan_drv.ko module, based on Blechd0se git as it was on 20130115@1400. Use it to test for the absence (or presence) of the 'ringtone' bug. For all other bugs which suddenly show up (black screens, no signal, etc) look at that Blechd0se thread first before you post here as it is quite likely they are the result of one of the myriad of patches applied by the Tin Can Man.

[Defy Android Development] smokeysevin:
I had the 02/11/12 moto ice gun build corrupt while installing resulting in a soft brick. I had to flash a sbf and recover it but when I did I ran into numerous problems, I had to flash sbf wipe all stock recovery, root, wipe, flash cwm, wipe cwm, flash build wipe all, gapps, cache/dalvik, reboot, up to the build error I never had to wipe data all the way back to the early ics builds, once it did boot there were still problems. I reset the baseband settings and rebooted but didn't have data and I checked the settings and all SAS good, I ended up having to recover all from a previous build to get ft it to work and it's still not where it should be. Point being I think there is something to wiping in stock recovery to get stuff to work.

1-Back to kill apps and it would be nice if we can adjust the holding time

2-File explorer

3-Launcher settings in settings

4-Lockscreen shortcuts

5-Theme Manager

With all the missing small things ,Its way better UI effects , Faster and manage RAM better than CM9 and i think its a must have OS :good:

I'm sorry but I can no longer provide logs of the ringtone bug because I really need to have my phone working properly. I installed YetAnotherForumUser's kernel over 10.01.2013. I shall keep it running for as long as possible to test the ringtone bus's apparition.

(for those getting black screen, instal kernel yet again if it stalls at black screen and do not wipe cache or dalvik. worked for me)
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
A very quick glance/grep shows com.android.systemui holds 4272 references to /dev/pvrsrvkm - on my phone it holds 34. That is probably due to the fact that I have HWA disabled just about anywhere but it does seem a bit excessive. Apart from that the memory pressure does not seem to be all that high:

RAM: 488572K total, 57712K free, 21240K buffers, 90488K cached, 204K shmem, 24812K slab

57 MB free, 21 MB buffers and 90 MB cached on a 488 MB system translates to relatively low memory pressure.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

It seems Blechd0se's kernel has display problems for some, not for others. Reading the relevant thread shows Blechd0se himself commenting on it. He relates the black screen bug to the presence of Google Chrome on the phone. As to whether that really is a contributing factor I have to wonder, but if all those black-screeners here happen to have Chrome installed it might be.

That is annoying of course but let it not distract us from the main reason we're trying alternative kernels - if Blechd0se's kernel does not exhibit ringtone problems it will be worth trying to find the (set of) patch(es) which eradicate it. Blechd0se regularly syncs his tree with Quarx's so it should be possible to find this specific needle in those stacks.

[Defy Android Development] irekd:
I think that after 44 uptime hours I can confirm that there isn't ringtone issue having 20130110 ROM and kernel extracted from Quarx's 20121109 by Sevenrock. It's my daily ROM right now - the newest nightly (20130110) with kernel from 11/9, which in my opinion was the most stable and less battery consuming CMX ROM for Defy ever. The battery lasts in my case 3 days and a bit more.

- HWA only for a few apps demanding it

- RAM peformance tweaks disabled

- Kernel samepage enabled

- Talk app disabled (get rid of lot's of synchronization job)

- DRM Download service disabled

- Synchronization changed to manual (get rid of lot's of synchronization job)

- No Facebook app installed (get rid of lot's of synchronization job)

- Wi-fi only when I need it

- Radio only 2G

- Airplane mode enabling for night

- Charging until Battery Monitor Widget shows 0mA charging current

Using sevenrock's 2.6.32.9 kernel package I'm at 52 hours uptime and ringtone plays just fine, device is also responsive. Battery life is also excellent, this kernel is a winner for my green lense Defy.

I tried the modified kernel from 150113 with quarx's 100113 build but still had major ringtone lags after a few hours of uptime. There were also times when the phone would slow right down, particularly after some web browsing. Back on sevenrock's tweaked 911 kernel now too.

Still ringtone bug with test kernels / description of symptoms

@sevenrock, @YetAnotherForumUser and all who are trying to help with solving the ringtone bug:

The last couple of days I tested the current CM10-20130110-NIGHTLY on my Defy+ with both kernels that are supposed to prevent the ringtone bug, namely

- the kernel by sevenrock, compiled from CM10-20121109

- the kernel by YetAnotherForumUser, compiled from JellyX-20130111

Unfortunately, with both kernels I experienced the ringtone bug again!

After the kernel by sevenrock failed for me and the kernel by YetAnotherForumUser was finally running (I first had the black screen issue that others reportet too), I was really in hope that the ringtone bug wouldn't reappear. My Defy+ was really snappy and smooth with the JellyX-kernel by YetAnotherForumUser and seemed to have good memory management (good amount of available RAM).

But then after 21 hours uptime the ringtone bug appeared again yesterday evening. :(

The symptoms I experience with the ringtone bug have been like this with the recent nightlies:

1. Haptic feedback isn't working anymore (i.e. when I press the "back" soft button)

2. Wifi stopped working

3. Mobile data stopped working

4. Incoming calls don't work at all, since the mobile network connection seems to have stopped completely (though the icon in the upper right corner is still there)

5. Terminal Emulator isn't working anymore, since the "$" promt is missing and no input possible (therefore I cannot make a "dumpsys meminfo", which I wanted to share)

6. "Android System Info" app, which I wanted to use to look after the free RAM, isn't working anymore (shows just a black screen and no info, I can just force close it)

I would like to know if others have the same or similar symptoms with the ringtone bug, since it obviously seems to be a problem with memory leaks, heap sizes or something similar (as has been discussed), so there are more symptoms than just a missing ringtone, as we all know.

I really hope that we can narrow this problem further so that the culprit is found and it can be eliminated from the kernel... :fingers-crossed:
[Defy Android Development] YetAnotherForumUser:
Try to connect the phone to a PC, open a shell using adb and get some information off that thing. It sounds like instead of being solved, on your phone the bug has hit with a vengeance. It makes me wonder whether this is 'just' the 'ringtone' bug, a combination of that bug and something new from Blechd0se's patchwork kernel or something entirely new.

As I have not had any problems yet since I started testing these kernels there might be a correlation between configuration parameters and/or installed apps as well.

[Defy Android Development] irekd:
Something very wrong begun to happen with my Defy after about 51 uptime hours. A few post earlier I wrote that I treat 20130110 ROM with 20121109 (by sevenrock) kernel as a daily ROM, but I must reconsider it.

1. Like I said, right now after 51 uptime hours I'm trying to call my number from another phone and I can't see any answer screen and it looks like anybody is calling although the the phone shows up full coverage in status bar.

2. When I try to make a call, the usual calling screen appears with dialing label, but I can't hear any calling signal from the speaker and anything is not being happened, but the calling screen is still being appeared to me.

3. After enabling wi-fi I can't connect to any webpage (there is for sure properly working wifi router next to me). And also I can't turn off the wi-fi.

4. I can't connect to my device with adb using USB cable. The device is not being visible under adb. ./adb devices is not showing any device connected.

5. I can't write anything in terminal emulator, so that I can't see any way to dump logs.

Unfortunately must restart without grabbing logs.

Comparison of symptoms when the (ring tone) bug appears

These symptoms are quite similar to the ones I described above in post #15004! :D

From my experiences I can second your #1, #3 and #5. I didn't try the things you described in #2 and #4 when the bug appeared yet, but it's likely that my phone behaves the same in these points when the bug is there.

What I find most interesting is that you are using a green lens Defy while I am using a Defy+ and that you have been using Sevenrock's 20121109 kernel while I had the same issues using YetAnotherForumUser's 20130111 kernel, so our setups are quite a bit different. This leads me to think that there is something wrong that all current kernels have in common... :confused:
