My first feedback to CM10.1 - overall great, but e.g. compass not working yet

Today I also jumped on the train and installed CM10.1 (the current 20130415 Nightly) on my Defy+. :)

I must say that I'm really impressed about the snappiness of CM10.1! :victory:

I installed it without problems over my installation of CM10 with 100+ of apps. With CM10.1 the starting of apps, switching between them and menu operation is much faster than before. :D

However, I found two bugs / problems with the 20130415 Nightly that haven't been reported yet and that are worth mentioning:

1. The Magnetic sensor and thus the compass are not working. So e.g. the compass calibration under Defy Parts doesn't work (the arrow points to North all the time even when turning the phone) and the app AndroSensor stays at "waiting for event" for the magnetic sensor. I would like to see some feedback of you other guys about this.

2. I did not try TWRP recovery yet, but I looked through its menus (nice UI!) It seems that there is no way to backup .andriod_secure, or am I missing something? Backing it up is important for me, since I have quite some apps moved to SD-card that I want to backup (CWM was capable of it.)

A thousand thanks, Quarx, for your great work and for bringing an already well working JB 4.2.2 to the Defy! :good:

I will use it as my daily ROM from today on and see how it behaves...

just a small side thing.. sms dark theme is always not working right? it seems to me it has never worked so i guess it is a cm bug right? thanks bye and good night :)
[Defy Android Development] AnTerNoZ:
the dark theme is only for the pop-up if u geta new message and it worked on CM10.
[Defy Android Development] Feche:
Works for me
[Defy Android Development] MB525:
I already had the exact same problem under CM7 two years ago with some AVM routers so I don't believe it is related to the new drivers.
[Defy Android Development] XJeFX:
tried latest 04/15 rom, finally i got signal and wifi working properly on cm10.1 after 6 reboots... but, can't send sms... just stays on "sending" then a message in the satus bar says "message not sended", sometimes a message about converting sms to mms pops up.

Tried different carriers and multiple reboots, no way to send an sms.

Cheers.
[Defy Android Development] atulclassic:
1. compass not working..exactly same problem

2. I believe android_secure will be backed up automatically if u select sdcard in selection while taking full backup
[Defy Android Development] okij:
to 1.: on the FAQ-thread also someone reported this problem, so it looks like a general one.

to 2.: has anyone tried this yet? I assume that then the whole SD-card will be backed up, which is quite too much. Just android_secure would be alright.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Unfortunately I must confirm, the latest build broke the Compass, it is no longer working.
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
I think to remember it has been mentioned already but related to BT..

..sometimes during phone calls voice is completely lost (I can't hear the voice of the other side and they can't hear my voice) :(

it just happened to me and in my case shouldn't be related to BT as I have never turned it ON since last reboot.. :(

bye
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
+1 ... I had it also.... on incomming and outgoing calls.
[Defy Android Development] vrl13:
Confirmed.

Directly related, the magnetic sensor stays at 0uT all the time, so there is no data available for the compass.

Hope this gets somehow sorted out, maybe some module is missing or the mag sensor driver has a problem?

Beat regards.

If you defy the BL is unlocked (I guess may unlock this causes), write your CM10 24.03 - 09.05 cm10.1 09.04.13 - 15.04.13 arbitrary version 4.1.2and 4.2.1, will lead to the wifi does not open, the button is "gray", or button has been in the "on" state, leading to the wifi can not use, and not just one person I have this situation, we have tried to wipe anddelete data / misc / wifi, was not feasible, 24.03 before each version, the wifi is working properly!I hope you can solve, or reply to me!Why does my post inexplicably disappear?

[Defy Android Development] cyrusct82:
Did anyone with the compass problem has enabled the display rotation?
[Defy Android Development] vrl13:
Hello,

Yes, display rotation is enabled by default and working normally.

The accelerometer spits out information as it should however the magnetic sensor is allways "waiting for event" and NO compass app is working.

I am using Androsensor, SmartTools (lets me even disable accelerometer in compass) and GPS status in my tests.

Any clue is more than wellcomed :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Tried with and without, no change. Compass is dead, I can confirm because it stopped working in Google Maps too, it was working in the previous releases.

Is it possible to make Phone Apk Faster?

Phone App is the key application for any mobile. I found phone apk responds very slow in this rom ( stock rom & CM 7 are much faster, since CM 9, 10 & 10.1 it becomes slow). I know that we have low ram in our defy but is there any way to lock some memory to phone apk in order to make it faster. It took 4 to 5 seconds to open and while ending the conversation again it took same time. Guys any suggesstions for improving the same?

@ Quarks if possible please consider the above request in the next build.

By the way thank you very much for this nice rom...

Thanks in Advance

Avi Tandel,

[Defy Android Development] :
no offence, but this was discussed earlier, I dont need 5 seconds for phone, maybe you can try disabling all HWA, if they decided to not lock it it must be for some reason :)

4 bug reports on audio issues and 2 on others

now that BT-Audio is working i migrated yesterday to the 04-15 build, coming from 4.1.2 / 03-18 build this is the first cm10.1 i've ever tried and i'm excited!

everything seems much faster than on cm10, and feels like it's speed has doubled... many lags are gone completely and on other parts it lags only half the time of cm10 - for me it has been the greatest advancement so far, greater than the improvement of 2nd-boot cm10 over stock 2.3.6 with bloatware.

so after doing a full wipe, restoring with TB / AppExtractor and playing around with settings, this is what i can report:

audio-related:

1.) BT-Audio (a2dp) stereo worked "out of the box" directly after pairing and playing music with Apollo. it remaind paired and i changed ringtones, there i discovered the sounds are being played in both the a2dp headset and through phone-speakers almost simultanously.

2.) after turning off BT-headset in 4.1.2 it usually stops playing music automatically and the speaker for ringtones, notifications & whatever is activated again. in 4.2.2 now the speaker remains muted completely (no chance to change this) until you manually turn off BT. also phone-calls don't have any sound (neither mic nor speaker) until BT is off. when BT is off everything works fine.

3.) a2dp worked flawless on first try, but after connecting the headset for the 2nd time, music playing stutters when touching the screen or during loading an app. after reboot it worked again and it occured only once since yesterday.

4.) as others reported, i also have no problems with stereo through a2dp, but on phone calls via the same BT-headset the sound for both me and the other side is very laggy and stuttery (robotic), it seams like only every 2nd packet is transmitted.

others:

5.) compass also doesn't work for me, but didn't try the provided fix yet

6.) swiping down from the very right side of the status bar often opens the notifications instead of the toggles... any one else experiencing this?
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
Not a bug, it's a feature.

Settings - System - Quick Settings panel - Quick pulldown - make your choice

*EDIT* Haven't read carefully enough, sorry! But still, no problem with the same feature here.
[Defy Android Development] disadjusted:
right side

yeah, there i've chosen the right side to open the toggles (isn't it standard?).

but approximately every third time i swipe down on the right side, it opens the notifications and not the toggles.

so i think it might be worth mentioning because it could be a bug...

edit: especially when screen is dimmed, this seem to happen every time.
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
What you are talking about is the Power Widget and this is the Quick Settings panel. Two different things. ;)

*EDIT* I think I missunderstood you in the first place xD Sorry! :D

But, anyway, I use the same setting - Quick Settings panel shows up when I pull down on the right side of the screen - and it works every time. I think that only the most right 1/4 of the screen is where the Quick Settings panel will show up after a pull down... So, I don't know, bear that in mind :D
[Defy Android Development] disadjusted:
quick settings panel

you are right, i meant the quick settings panel, i just called it toggles like all the news authors do :laugh:

it seems that it'll work when swiping down from time and power-circle (on the very right side)... but starting from wifi-icon it opens the notifications. think i got it now, thanks anyway :highfive:

edit: happened again although swiping down from time (on the outer right side)... :(
[Defy Android Development] FcukBloat:
I have some problems with BT that I didn't have on 4.1.2..

if I want to pair my defy+ with my laptop with win7, if I start the process from the laptop, it can't see the phone even if it is visible to all devices. only way to pair the dwo devices is to start the procedure from the phone. anyone experiencing this?

also, today I can't send things from laptop to phone even if the two devices are correctly paired..

[Defy Android Development] droid_<3er:
Great job Quarx. I've followed your work from CM7 to CM9 to CM10 and now CM10.1 and I have to say,

there isn't a single developer who brings more joy to Defy users than you.

One thing I want to ask is: does anyone know why the notification pulldown is so laggy in JB? The JB animations

were originally a huge problem for the Defy to handle when 4.1 first came to the device, but that's gotten a lot better.

Some roms basically fix it completely. However, the notification window has not changed? Any way to optimize it?

Running at 1.0 ghz w/ performance governor doesn't help. I know the HWA isn't enabled in this yet, but any way to

boost the GPU in CM10?

Some fixes if you haven't seen them

@ Quarx

I found some fixes for bionic and ti wlan..... don't know if you know about them but here they are :)

Bionic -

It also works for wl1271_softAP

P.S also you forgot to add Eppy's yaffs2 to allow users to compile :p

Also trying some things out to help fix sdcard mounting ;)

I got a build compiled atm but data is not working at all & getting constant reboots :( once I get some things I think I can fix fixed I will upload my build so you guys can stop bugging Quarx ;)
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Kind of working :)

The main problem I have on my side is that the phone is very unstable random reboots after few minutes and random fcs in some of those sessions so I can't tell if it's defiantly working but I hope this will helps as it has mounted two times for me :)

It's the same as the Razr - found here

Edit - Working well & if it's not working using Quarx tip it works again ^_^

Need to look at my setup and see what's wrong when I get data, wifi working I will upload for now it's pretty useless to upload

Here is what I added to init.mapphone_umts.rc -

mkdir /storage 0050 system sdcard_r
mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0000 system system
mkdir /mnt 0775 root system
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /sdcard
rmdir /mnt/sdcard
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1

I've done a clean install on CM10 (Wipe data + cache...).

Install went fine, added latest GAPPS minimal from goo.im.

Phone started, toook 5-6 tries to connect to the 3G networ, but finally was able to make it.

If I switch data off and on again usually it connects for the 1st or 2nd attempt, but every now and then it takes 5-6 tries.

The only app problem is the clock: it crashes every now and then. If I open the clock app and try to set an alarm it does not open the Alarms page but crashes immediately - so I beleive the irregular crashes might be related to the alarms as well.

FM Radio works.

Have not tried

bluetooth

wifi jamming

Antutu benchmark went wild: CM10 always scored between 2500-3100,

Same phone, same CPU settings (1.2 GHz), same apps: CM10.1 Could not go below 3500 - but usually 3700.

All in all: Great ROM, great performance and of course great developers!

further examinations

to 2.) when turning BT off while music is playing, sound doesn't return - even when enabling & disabling BT again. when enabling BT & connecting headset, there's sound again via a2dp. as soon BT os disabled, again not through speaker. but with BT off, if there's a call incoming, ringtone is played through speaker and after that sound/music through speaker works again.

to 3.) had these issues again under several conditions... persists even after reboot, but not as distorted as with several hours uptime. seems that when executing things it gets worse, so i checked CPU status, when just playing music through BT it's mostly @ 300MHz, sometimes @ 600MHz. perhaps that's too weak somehow now with cm10.1?

and 7.) i listened to music through BT, then got an incoming notification, but weren't able to activate screen. tried hitting power button several times with several minutes between every try, music was still playing, but screen remained off. then longpressed power couple of times, music playing stopped, button LEDs were on, screen was off. hard-rebooted via battery-pull...

With BT activated (not connected) I can't hear a call and the other side can't hear me. Disabling Bluetooth solves the problem.

(solved) Alarm clock not working

It's the same here: The Clock app is always crashing if I try to open the Alarms page.

@ quarx: I think that this would be quite important to fix, because without it the Defy cannot be used as an alarm clock (which is a function that quite a lot of people use - I use it at least regularly in my holidays.)

Besides this, CM10.1 is working very well for me with today's compass fix. :)

Edit: Clearing data of the Clock app, as suggested by binodnepal, solved the problem, so it's not a bug. :good:
