Random reboots

So I get them random reboots. No idea why.

I've switched to the 27/05, clean install, full wipe and all. And it works magnificently. Except for these reboots.

Once today I even had a boot loop that I got rid off by removing the battery.

Anyone has an idea as for the cause or solution to this problem? (both would be great)
[Defy Android Development] frullewulle:
install catlog and maybe you see some errors just before those reboots

bootloops and charging problems

I also have random bootloops. Problem is that neither removing battery, nor restoring backups are good solutions and I have to go rsdlite, reflash sbf and then install 2605 once again. As of today it is the second time during the last week that I get these hard bootloops. I also have random charging problems since 2505 rom, as it seems that the usb cable (I have two of these) doesn't get well recognized by the phone either via wall socket or data usb. I.E, now It doesn't recognize the usb cable connected to the pc, whilist it does recognize the one connected to the wall socket. It happens randomly, some days without any problems, others with the phone sensing the usb cable only intermittently. I don't know if bootloops and charging problems are somewhat tied, but I am very concerned and I am wondering if they are hardware or rom related.

Anyone having same problems?

EDIT: this time I was able to recover by restoring a previous backup of /data. Restoring only /system didn't help.
[Defy Android Development] Percz:
Have had some major problems with charging for awhile now. Notification Bar sticks at battery 100% for a few hours, but then battery suddenly reports as flat even though in ROM Recovery it says battery has over 50% charge. In the latest custom ROM recovery (Team Win Recovery) I can't find anyway of wiping Battery Data. I would try and boot into Custom ROM recovery, and try charging once in there and see if the battery level goes up.

It also seems like it will boot ok after a flash a couple of times or so, and then it because hugely unstable. From what little I can debug before the phone completely crashes out, it's as if the internal '/data' mount is having staying up.

I have quickly flashed some old roms just fine and have no problems but will now try and jump back and stay on an older ROM version again, and just check my phones hardware isn't to blame, but it seems to be software based. :(
[Defy Android Development] Tausif Ahmed:
Do a battery calibration whenever u flash roms. if u cannot find wipe battery stats in recovery, use an external application from play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDMsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd

Charge ur battery full, and let it be on charge plugged in for few more minutes, then click on calibrate battery from d app. unplug the charger . reboot. do a battery drain(there is an app for that too in play store). then charge continuously.

Voila ur battery is Calibrated!!

Lost Stable recovery

Hey guys,

Im in a fix here, had flashed MINT rom, and now i wanna get back to Quarxs CM10. The problem is that stable recovery is now missing in my boot menu, and all i have is Custom recovery by TeamWinProject.

How do i get CWM back... Sorry for the Noob question.

Thanks in advance.
[Defy Android Development] frozenwaverider:
CM10 is in custom ;)

TWRP is the new recovery, CWM was getting a bit old

After a sudden shutdown while receiving a call (battery was rather low), at next boot all the SD installed apps disappeared and these installed on the phone had been reset to their factory configuration. How is that possible? Thinking to go back to some pre-experimental rom.

Is there a new build coming up..

I have seen that a new build has been popped up in cm10.1 thread.. so was wondering... whether a new build for cm10 is going to be released soon...
[Defy Android Development] Fight4Music:
It's no rom build, only a Kernel for 4.2.2 with changes in interactive :)

# We aRe oNe!
[Defy Android Development] frozenwaverider:
It was a fix(hopefully) for the data connection problem 10.1 was having that didn't affect 10

I tried the new kernel(as both builds share the same kernel) but got red led black screen on boot which will hopefully be fixed when compiled differently...

All very exciting stuff! Definitely defy has a great community, we are lucky

Thank you Quarx

Hi all!

I have a Defy MB525 Red Lense and I tried a lot of roms: CM7.2, WIUI, MS2Ginger, CM9.1 but everyone has some bugs that makes me prefer the Froyo stock... Which are the bugs/problems with this rom? Is it now stable or has still some problems? Which is the best release for a daily use?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] GuustFlater89:
Maybe read some of the last pages before asking these type of questions. If you don't want to, please stay on stock...
[Defy Android Development] jennifer_d:
I'm on the 18-03 build and it's fairly stable. Almost no issues.
[Defy Android Development] 3ze:
Yes 18/03 is pretty stable.

24/03 and later have known issues like wifi creating interferences to other devices due to new driver and suspend problems (which derives in battery drain)

For example with actual build 27/05 (wich i have and claims to be experimental) you may have random reboots (i have) Battery drain ("Android OS" consumption is high, i have) and some others minor issues like blinking notify bar when dragging down (i have).

Does anyone knows if this patch https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_...mmit/2a5669ec4df4a6e26022f511e0ee4efa3161aac4 is included in the latest build 27.05?

Because if it's included is not working:confused:
[Defy Android Development] Delphis1982:
I'm on 27/05 and that is for me the most stable ROM.

OK, I'm in Europe, but i don't know, if that's important,

because someone told about heavy battery issues or stability probs.

Data-Connection is stable, Tehtering works like a charme

and since the last few builds there is finally enough space in /system

to install Busybox, Anti-Theft, etc, pp...

I'm using it for daily use and the Battery-Life is AFAIK the best.

It lasts about 1 1/2 - 2 days.

And I'm always online (NOT 3G) and Sync is always active.

You have to know, that this builds are ALL nightlys.

So you can call them BETA.

I recommend that you READ the postings,

because it CAN happen, that a new build is less stable, or it will fail to boot...

And for Failsafe take a second mobile phone like a NOKIA 5110, 6303... etc...

If you want stay safe, stay at Stock-ROM,

and if you really want CM, pick the 18/03 ROM, install it,

and STAY on this ROM.

Do NOT upgrade the builds to often, it CAN go wrong.

And once a week make a Nandroid.

And again... don't ask such questions, wich is the best ROM, who has the longest... ääähm...:eek::angel:

I'm done. :)

Cheers...

Boot Loop

I am (was) running 27/05 for a couple of weeks with very little problems. However, the phone becomes slow after 3-4 days usage (even with Greenify etc), so I just restart it.

Yesterday, I restarted the phone and since then it has been stuck on the circular CyanogenMod logo. :( I tried cache wipe, dalvik wipe from both custom and stock recovery. I even reflashed 27/05 and also 16/05 but none worked.

I have a very, very old Titanium backup and hence do not want to do a fresh install. Any suggestions?
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
Have you installed any patch like simunlock? If thats the case go to bootmenu and change the governor to smartass and reboot. You can do also do a /data nandroid backup, reinstall the rom and restore it.
[Defy Android Development] vinu.shukl:
No, nothing installed. Just the ROM.

I have never used Nandroid before. Team Win has options for Cache, Data and System. So, I should backup /data and then start from the sbf onwards? Once I'm back on 26/05, will the restored backup run smoothly, because some people face problems with updating apps and force closes?

Thanks, btw.
[Defy Android Development] roytam1:
try wiping /system in TWRP and reinstall cm10 and minimal gapps zip right after wiping (DO NOT reboot or you have to restart from sbf)
[Defy Android Development] vinu.shukl:
Just tried that. Didn't work, bootloop. Anyhow, I did a nandroid of /data and am moving towards the full sbf flash. Anything I should keep in mind?

PS: Even if can get a fresh install running, then wouldn't recovering the old /data again induce a boot loop?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Not necessarily, but you're a lot better off just restoring your APP data with Titanium Backup using the option "Extract from Nandroid Backup". When you flash a new ROM, whether it's the same build or not, you will almost always brings about weird bugs when restoring the entire /data partition, at least for me.

Secondly, if you can still access TWRP, you can just as easily flash the ROM again, and don't have to start all the way from the SBF. Just to be sure you're bug free, wipe /system like stated previously, and don't reboot.
[Defy Android Development] vinu.shukl:
I tried flashing the 27/05 build and few older ones, but it didn't work. I have started the sbf flash as the last resort.
[Defy Android Development] vinu.shukl:
I successfully booted into 27/05 but when I select 'Extract from Nandroid Backup', it detects the backup file but shows an empty applications list. There are no apps in the backup. :(

Tried recovering from TWRP, but got stuck in a bootloop again.
[Defy Android Development] frullewulle:
no wifi interference for me here with 27/05, maybe others ...
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
Hi,

I have tested and it still occurs since no WIFI changes have been made (you can check Quarx's github).
[Defy Android Development] frullewulle:
can you provide a detailed log from your router?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
That is very odd, maybe there is a problem with your Nandroid backup. You can use Nandroid Manager to explore the "data.ext4.win" file of your TWRP backup and see if there are in fact any app folders in the "data/" folder. If there aren't there probably is a problem with your backup, or you did something wrong.

If you do see app folders (that are not empty, of course), you can:

1. Try again with Titanium Backup (Maybe the "extract from nandroid backup" option is just a pro feature, IDK)

2. Try to restore your app data with Nandroid Manager (Never tested this feature, but I imagine it should work)

3. Extract the app folders in /data manually, and copy the folders/files for the apps you want to restore MANUALLY, after you've installed the apps. I've done this with whatsapp, but it would take you quite a long time, because you'd have change the file/folder's permissions and owner for each app, though it would be a lot easier and faster through an ADB shell.

Edit: Do you have TiBu pro? Turns out the "Restore individual apps+data from TWRP backups!" is a Pro only feature.
[Defy Android Development] vinu.shukl:
Yes, I do have the pro version. However, I think something went wrong with the TB restore, I can't find the Defy Parts menu in the Settings and hence can't change the baseband and hence have no connectivity. I tried the Baseband Switcher but it doesn't seem to work for me.

I'll flash CM10 again from the beginning and this time will install the apps from the Play Store and restore their data from TB.

Will give Nandroid Manager a shot too.
[Defy Android Development] pasor1:
speed up your rom

Try disable HWA for all apps, you'll get a more responsive rom, no more lag or freeze. You'll get a little more battery life also.

In my opinion HWA should be disabled by default ;)
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I'm not on CM10, but it should be in Settings => Advanced (or something like that). Baseband Switcher didn't work for me either on CM10, then again, never really needed it.
[Defy Android Development] vinu.shukl:
I know where its found. I use it everytime I do a fresh install. This time tough, its missing. Weird.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I've had this strange reboot and then forever stuck at boot till I do a /data wipe too. However it was in SlimBean 4.1.2 that I had compiled (using aero kernel and mostly Kayant's sources) so thought it might not be related to this rom. But if Quarx's CM10 has the problem too then it lies in something that's common to both the roms.

[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] have you noticed this problem by any chance?
[Defy Android Development] woodman:
No, sorry, I can't. I'm currently back on cm7 for other reasons... I will do this when i'll be back to cm10 or cm10.1. Excepted if Quarx fixes this issue soon...

Sent from my Defy MB525 green lens
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
In case you, or anyone else is interested, the ROM I'm currently using (check signature) still uses the old WiFi drivers, so no interference; pretty decent performance, I have about 120mb - 150mb of free ram most of the time, I can easily get 2 days of battery life on one charge, no FC, no random reboots (not using any of the init scripts).

You have to delete or comment out a line in an init script in order to enable logging, and I personally don't like the search key locking my phone so I changed that too; and it's HIGHLY customizable (transparent status bar/notification drawer, etc).

Also, video recording works out of the box, without having to modify the "media_profiles.xml" file, as in, the audio will not cut before the end of the video file, even while using stock camera app (JB 4.2) to record a 20 minute long video. (I have several suspicions as to why it works here and not on other Quarx ROMs, but that's a different issue).

So it's a pretty nice JB rom to be on until any developer decides to give a higher priority to the WiFi issue with the new drivers.

PS: I'm specifically talking about the "Taki_jeden_rom_09052013EN" build which does not have the new WiFi drivers.

Hello to all :))

I am new on the defy bayer model and want to ask the pro users some questions.

I try to help a friend to update his defy with the current

Android 2.1 Eclair Build JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1.

I decided to flash this rom. I succsesfully installed with superonclick root and the superuser apk.

Also i managed it to install cwm 2.5.8.1.

Is this rom flashable with that cwm recovery?

I try to find the rom from 18/3 which is pretty stable some user here told in the thread.

Could please a well known user help me a little ?

Same here. Today, after the phone turned off because of low batt (it was in plane mode), I couldn't boot anymore. No bootloops, but forever stuck on the CM10 animation. The problem is under /data, because if I restore an old data backup or wipe data, i will boot again.

This may be just a coincidence, but I have manual PlayStore updates, and today I've accepted updating some apps. Between them, the Google Play Music. I'm not sure if this was the problem, but I'm pretty sure one of the apps I've updated caused it ONLY WITH THIS ROM, since there's no report of people having this issue in stock or other roms. I suspect about the Google Play Music, but I can't remember which other apps I've updated today, I'll try to deduce this.

:rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
This might be the problem (and solution):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42577243&postcount=2232

So I guess best course of action is switch to a non experimental CM10 build or to the latest CM10.1. Optionally flash the above Blecd0se kernel too...

And no I don't think that kernel will work with CM10. CM10.1 only for now.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Yes, you can flash with that recovery. Ask questions on the support thread next time.

16.05. & 27.05. lose the data connection for me when I am on 2G too. Sometimes the signalbar stays blue and I don't notice I lost the connection until I try to send something. To revive the connection, I have to switch to 3G or airplane. Sometimes only a reboot helps but often the phone loses the connection again after a few seconds when I switch back to 2G. Only solution is to stay on 3G but that doesn't work in areas with a weak signal, in those places this bug renders the phone useless. Didn't have this problem in builds before 16.05.
[Defy Android Development] frozenwaverider:
Try this, go in to phone dailer, dial *#*#info#*#*, in Phone information scroll down to Set preferred network type: set to GSM auto (PRL)

Then go back to launcher, Settings, WIRELESS & NETWORKS More..., Mobile networks, Network Preferences, set to GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)

Any time you go in to this menu you have to select again because if you choose Cancel it changes to GSM/WCDA (WCDMA preferred)... or it does in mine anyway?

Another problem is if you manually switch 3G/2G it changes back to GSM/WCDA (WCDMA preferred) again, once again this is my experience, yours may be different?

I also found after a baseband change it is good to clear stock & custom cache & dalvik so I don't get RIL reboots, I suspect it clears remnants of old baseband which can cause problems

I also always restore my factory baseband from original nandroid backup, found in: /etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/

Extract& copy all files from nandroid place in same folder in phone, set permissions to: rwxr-xr-x

Reboot

Then reboot again & clear caches & dalvik, done

Hope this helps you, it works for me ;)
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
I am on Slimbean 3.1.1 now (should incorporate the same problems as it's based on Quarx' 27.05.). I will try that, if I run into problems again. Still, I manually switch from 3g to 2g quite often and having to do all this everytime is tiresome...

I've flashed 11.05 and dissappointed as I've charged the phone with iPad2 adapter it fully charges till 99% and drains till the end of the same day and when I charge with notebook USB prot it still 90% - 6 hours, 26 min. yesterday it was 80% at the end of the day. Its nice but whats up with iPad adapters? And I 've also noticed that leds are not always indicateing the charging (they are off mostly).
[Defy Android Development] sukano1:
Yesterday I had a hang at boot animation, too, with 27.05 - wiping /data worked, but then I stupidly restored all user apps & data with TB and next boot hung again. When I tried a few hours later (battery was taken out) it booted up again without any changes to /data. Strange!

EDIT: Just created a backup of /data in recovery, and reboot was hanging, too. On next boot I got the dreaded hang again, but after taking out the battery shortly it worked on next boot.

Updated to 16.06 now and will see if the problem occurs again.

Does anyone know how to install 06.16 without google apps?

It seems like this rom automatically installs them (I believe using the script \system\addon.d\70-gapps.sh) whether you want them or not, and then they can't be easily removed.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
It doesn't install them, it backs them up and then restores them when you flash the ROM. If you don't want that to happen, you can either delete that file from the zip, or you can wipe your system partition with TWRP or the Aroma Wiper. If you choose the second option, just make sure you flash the ROM right away before you reboot, else you'll have to start from SBF.

EDIT: I've never flashed any ROM while having deleted the 70-gapps.sh file; I'm just assuming it would work. I always wipe system before flashing any ROM.

When you use TWRP have you adjusted the brightness?

[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
IMHO the best way to proper wipe is using defy_wipe.zip's from recovery. Those zip's you can find here . There are zip's for ext3 and ext4 accordingly.

Beware so after using defy_fullwipe.zip you HAVE TO flash new ROM immediately without rebooting, because at this moment there is NOT ANY system in your phone so after rebooting there is nothing to run... in such unfortunately case one have to flash stock ROM through ADB and then root and recovery as well...
[Defy Android Development] roytam1:
If TWRP /system wipe doesn't work for you, try mount /system and make use of TWRP shell prompt to "rm -rf /system/*" instead.
