"No connection - Retry" Error message

Hello all, the last few builds of this great ROM have been really good: smooth, good battery life and all the rest. A few little bugs but nothing that has really bothered me.

The only inconvenience I have, since the very first builds, is the ""No connection - Retry" message from within Gmail, play store and sometimes facebook too. This happens on both WiFI and 3G and the connection would eventually work without moving the phone by even a single mm, so I really don;t think it is a signal/cover issue.

I am now on build 17, latest gapps 20130301 signed, it happens after clean or dirty flashes, Baseband 20.76.30.0835P_3831.19.00.110

My phone is HTC_DEV unlocked.

If I could get the rid of this problem, this rom would be perfect!

Thanks

More info... lock screen widget and cLock are both CM repo's without any modifications now?

You must think me a magician or something... I can only do so much with these old phones:) I can't say I've seen lag when scrolling but if you have lots of memory hungry apps like Facebook installed then it's probably going to happen....

Don't use it very often but seems to work ok when I do. One of our biggest problems is that we are stuck using an old audio driver as all the new ones require ION which we just can't do at the moment as I've explained before.

widget connects to yahoo for weather data but also needs to know your location. If location service is b0rked or disabled or you don't have a data connection it will display a ? when it tries to update. I've not had the problem with it not updating....

Rom specific problems I'm happy to look into (although there are far more niggly little problems than I as 1 person have time to look into!) Feature requests or changes to how CM works should be pushed upstream though as I'm certainly not in a posiiton to do anything with them :)

I've NEVER seen this issue.. Wonder if it's APN/Provider specific? Have you tried manually setting up the APN for your provider?

Guys I'm fairly busy at the moment I'll throw out a build later with a few upstream bug fixes in and possibly a few other tweaks and fixes. If anyone want's to help then investigate/fix bugs and send me pull requests on github or pm me the fixes I'll be happy to include them. Most of the Andromadus team that was have moved onto new phones and I could do with some help tbh :)

My wishlist would be something like..

Rom.

Somebody to investigate and help fix UI related stuff...

Kernel

A kernel guru who has an MDDI panel or could provide builds/debug remotely then who could then fix an ION+PMEM kernel :)

Switch Graphics/Sound/Rotator/Media to ION leaving Camera the only thing using PMEM.

Nick.
[HTC Desire S] courghan:
I think I had the mobile network set to Automatic...I will try to manually set it to my carrier. should I try enabling "national data roaming" too?

Thanks

EDIT: Issue happens even when APN is set manually, all parameters are correct. Could the radio fw have anything to do with this?
[HTC Desire S] VnnAmed:
Well actually we do. If you standalone can make JB 4.2.2 work and run smooth on DS then yes, that's really some kind of magic. Still if someone isn't satisfied with his performance I suggest using Titanium Backup for removing Apps/Features you don't use. JB is mainly for dual-core devices and making it more lightweight really makes performance better on phones like ours. Also if you are still not satisfied after doing that you can always overclock. From my experience it gets some things done faster and battery life is quite the same thanks to well made interactive governor. Most people are getting it to 1,2/1,5Ghz but our chip is known for performing with maximum CPU frequency of even 2,0Ghz (it's experimental in kylon kernel). I was testing for quite some time 1,8Ghz frequency and left it like this cause it didn't made any issues.

I also have this issue but only in Gmail. I read about it on the internet and it seems to be triggered by different factors but it's Google issues. This problem is not collaborated with this ROM.

Well I guess it's going to be hard for you to find someone with skills to help becaouse quite frankly DS is old and even when it was new it wasn't top of the shelf device. Still what bothers me is that why don't you guys developers that are still supporting DS like vampire36, thantos2024, lowveld don't team up and make one Badass ROM that would rock our socks off?

Possible fix for troubles with b17

So, b17 has been not working for me. I had blackscreens, freezes etc. Now yesterday I have installed hboot 7.00.1002 Revolutionaty over my 6.98 Revolutionary and I gave b17 another shot and now it works flawless :victory:. Can people with problems say what HBOOT they are using? I also modified my GAAPS before flashing this time so maybe it's a problem with some Google Application? :eek:

I didn't have to do hard-reset, it started reacting normally after 30 secs.

no problem: Lockscreen , homescreen 4x3 , homescreen 4x2 and 4x2 without search bar , even changed language to english and everything looks perfect. I'm using Trebuchet Launcher (CM10 default).
[HTC Desire S] VnnAmed:
"Teściowa ma urodziny" :laugh: Wish her all the best from me :D

Anyway, after using this build for a while I have to admit that there is a positive difference between this and b16. It seems even smoother and more responsive. After changing HBOOT now issues encountered.

This is what I've been waiting for. The performance on this build is simply mindblowing! If you have a friend with stock Rom on some dual core device go ahead and make him cry :D Seriously if you're on some previous build and thinking about changing this may be as good as Android experience on Desire S gets. No bugs, stable, creepy fast. I just can't believe that it's there. I just can't believe that this is so much better than previous builds. Now seriously. Guys... it's FLASHING TIME!!!

[HTC Desire S] Android-UK:
Thanks, but clarely you have not looked at my screenshot correctly. Note you only have 1 row of icons above the dock. I have two. Thus the overlap on my part.

Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding giving feedback to the CM developers regarding this issue?

Thanks Flinny :)

I found the default trebuchet launcher to be laggy in general. Try Nova launcher, runs smoother, adds more features and runs fine on this ROM.

Quick Preview of Andromadus b18

Becaouse of how amazed I am by b18 I have made a Quick Preview of this build. This is Andromadus b18 Clean install with some apps restored with Rom Toolbox running Trebuchet launcher. I would like to point out that HD Widgets (widget on main screen) have reccomendation of Dual-core 1,2 Ghz and it really slows down the system:

Re: [ROM][09-03-13][Flinny] Andromadus Test builds - CM10.1[17]

What firmware/radio/baseband version?

For me, my device runs pretty well on this build, battery drain is quite low when im on Wifi or 2G. But not on 3G. It's normal for me. As long this device can stand 8 hours of heavy usage, it's cool :)

Re: [ROM][09-03-13][Flinny] Andromadus Test builds - CM10.1[17]

Could you actually post yours setting? My phone too gets to about 3 hours of usage but I find it normal. HTC 's ics was similar in terms of battery usage but slow and laggy like hell
[HTC Desire S] mysubcult:
Use the latest flinny build (18), use stock kernel with 245-1024...use the 1800 battery from mugenpower.
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
well, I use my Saga just for social life ( twitter, whatsapp, instgram, viber, livescore ) most of the time. So, this setting is just fine for me :

Im using SetCPU, but without SetCPU, u still can follow my settings if you want, it's really basic thingy.

Screen On = 368 - 1200 Mhz / ondemand / row

Screen Off = 245 - 368 Mhz / ondemand / row

Check your Settings > Performance

- tick on 16bit transparency if you dont need fancy graphics

- disable surface improvement

With :

- Greenify installed to reduce background process from unwanted app, ( dont use this on social apps, it will cut the push notification )

- Seeder, to maintain stability, less lagging when switching apps.

else :

- Avoid 3rd party launcher. I know it's not going to reduce a lot, but at least, it can hold extra juice for hours.

- Avoid 3G connection if you dont need it. 2G is really slow, but if you can tweet, and whatsapp without problem, stick with it whenever possible. - 2G is really sucks, i know, but if you have wifi, use wifi. Using wifi is better than using 3G. Huge amount of difference.

- Use auto brightness for outdoor only. When you are indoor, change it manually.

And I think it's better for you to use this latest firmware/radio pulled from official ICS by suku_patel_22

Well, that's my best, I know some settings and apps are unnecessary, but I dont really care, as long I can get at least 8 hours of heavy usage.

read above, and yeah, avoid 3rd party battery too. If you have extra bucks, order an oem battery from htc. dont buy it from retailers, I dont trust retailers :p

Dont mind complaining on my settings, I didnt ask for you guys to judge my taste :)
