Are you on the Dz hboot or g2?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 41.kretschi:
Thanks guys. I will check that out and report back
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 41.kretschi:
Nothing helps. I think Wi-Fi Is hard broken. This one goes to trash and I'll go and visit eBay :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BIade:
I know it sounds silly but try this:

1) Enable usb-debugging in dev-options

2) Enable air-plane-mode

3) Turn off your phone

4) connect the phone with a pc via an usb-cable

5) Turn on your phone and wait 5min

6) Disable air-plane-mode and pray

I know it doesnt make any sence, but there is a reason you want to use a DesireZ in year 2014 - its called love :P

Even if it doesnt work it is worth a try (10min).

Cheers

try another ROM first

before you do that you maybe should try another ROM first; in my opinion Andromadus Mimicry 1.5.0 still is one of the most stable ROMs available for the DZ; I never had probs with that apart from the fact that it's left sitting on ICS. If you cannot turn on WiFi there then maybe it's gone.

Currently I'm running Flinn's Andromadus CM11.0 Alpha 3 which I feel is reasonably stable for every day useage, but every now and again I cannot turn WiFi back on coming out of flight mode or after having disabled it for some other reasons; device simply keeps telling me that WiFi i scurrently being activated. I then have to completely reboot the device which usually does the trick.

Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Another clue for broken wifi, I wasn't able to make it work when using ART runtime, it's always hanging with 'wifi is activating' message.

Went back to Dalvik runtime and wifi is back again.

If it can help...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 4L3xN3t:
maybe ART would be the way to reborn for a DesireZ, but I think using it into an alpha version maybe a little bit soon...isn't it???:p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mrcepan990:
Hey guys,

I can't install the ROM (alpha5), I'm getting 'Installation aborted (bad)' in recovery. File was downloaded and checked few times in order to make sure it's not damaged. SD card was also formatted, still no joy. Can it be my version of recovery 6.0.4.5?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Neo2SHYAlien:
Update your recovery with latest ext4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
My son had the installation abort with "failure to set Metadata," and the newer 4ext also helped.

We had some trouble with the gapps packages though. Apparently you need to use a micro and not mini gapps package on the Tmobile G2. The Desire Z has a slightly larger /system partition.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 3lambda:
Have you changed your hboot to the DZ one ? If no you may try :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mrcepan990:
Thanks man, it helped.

Also, do you guys use any tricks to reduce the lag? I don't want to complain about stock performance too much as it is fairly good, but it lacks a little bit to be DD I think. Currently I'm using Memory Manager but I needed Extreme option to be fully satisfied. Do you have any other suggestions I could try?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Just install a quick and stable ROM.

I.E. no KK roms on our device for now....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Salut Keno, What do you mean by a quick and stable ROM, do you have a pref for any of them ?

I'm thinking to downgrade in order to get the best experience possible on a DZ. I'm planning to buy a new phone (the mic doesn't work anymore on my DZ since a week :() but I would like to keep it with a non too much experimental ROM, even with the mic not working.

I'm interested by the sony Z1, it looks like a decent phone and begins to be affordable. Almost 4 years for the DZ it's not so bad after all, nowadays.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
My favorite is still AlterNdromadus CM10.1 | Android 4.2.2

Remains stable and quite quick

Close to the last versions.

I've tried some booster which gave improvements, but after a while, it started to gave stanged thiongs so I flashed over the ROM.

I use 8SMS app and Dialer EX which are more responsive than stock one's.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Thanks and sorry for the off-topic discussion
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
This topic is Off anyway...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mrcepan990:
But this ROM is stable for me (not rock solid maybe, but deffo good enough to be DD). Memory Manager reduces lag MASSIVELY, in fact I think I'm happy with the performance and won't even need any more tricks (maybe screen rotation response could be little bit better).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tatowaki:
I'm on the same boat, my DZ MIC stopped working.

I'd recommend you the Nexus 5, and it's a beast. Best price vs quality phone in market, excluding chinese-branded smartphones. FYI bought it for 280€ in ValueBasket via Rakuten.

As Kéno40, I have AfterNDromadus installed in the DZ. Highly recommended.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
I have hesitated and looked at the N5 but for me LG is not reliable enough (my girl got 2 N4 and they are so fragile)... And the N5 is not brand new anymore and formers flagships from others brands now compete with its price. I found the Xperia Z1 at 300€, so for the price it beats anything (apart from Chinesy-chinese-brand). It can resist water and seems solidly built, so I hope it will last almost 4 years like the DZ if I don't drop it too often of course :p

And there's a Z in the name so I'm not lost ^^

Sorry for ruinning the topic again but it's kind of a goodbye here, I'm going to root my new Z1 today :D

Cheers guys
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Z1 is far away too big for me ...

Dimensions (l x p x h) en mm	73,9 x 8,5 x 144,4

Today, I'd say maybe moto G

Z3 compact could be good, but expensive for now. So I wait.

Or HTC One Mini2 or the next one in this segment....

Et bonne continuation à toi la.ouiche!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Merci !!

I have to say that I didn't though about the size when I choose the phone ! I compared prices, specs and everything but forgot the size ! I have now the Z1 in my hands, and yes it is big, very big. It's a real pleasure when you use the phone for sure. And to move with it is harder, I'll have to change my habits, it fits in the pocket but you can't run anymore... I think I will keep it with my wallet at all times as it's the same size....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
FWIW I bought a Z1 compact last Friday. It's somewhat bigger than the DZ, but still manageable.

Unfortunately Sony is all for openness and bootloader unlocking, provided you accept to void your warranty.

I'm still using the DZ as I lacked the time to get a micro SIM...

Guys, I've not had fine to touch the dz/saga recently (getting married on Sunday). I've got an m8 and it's a really nice phone the size you just get used to. The wife to be just for the one 2 mini and it's really nice also.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Congrats on the wedding! Just had my one year myself. Do what you need to do and don't worry about ROM building until you have the time. The m8 is a fantastic phone and someday u may get one myself but can't justify spending more than $300 on a phone still especially when these older phones still get development.

Hope all goes well with married life! (Its really no different)

bass distortion badly

Hi I'm facing sound distortion problem in flinny cm11 alpha3 rom .its a basically bass distortion in full volume. guys if anyone able to solve this issue plz reply :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aktivehate:
Congrats on your wedding! Make it an unforgetable day :)

I've left the DZ as my main phone last year, i had the chance to buy a cheap One S. Used it for nearly a year, then sold it to my girlfriend. Currently running the Nexus 5 as main phone and still my old DZ as backup phone. The awesomeness is that despite the 3 year difference since the release they both run CM11!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Firestone_cz:
Hello everybody. Could I ask for help what I have to do when I try to install Flinny's CM11.0 into my rooted Desire Z @ old CyanogenMod 7.2.0 (Android v2.3.7) with ROM Manager v5.5.3.7?

Thx for any possible info that could help for newbie :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
This ROM is not developped anymore. It's more a starting point for others.

AlterNdromadus 10.1 is more stable and runs quite good.

KK CM11 are more recent. You can try ..

Goldfish issues -- solved?

Hey, did you ever figure out the story with goldfish? I'm trying to build the Bluez for Android version of lollipop on nexus7, and I'm getting the same goldfish error, and I have no idea why we'd even be building goldfish, or whether I can turn it off somehow.

I see some references to goldfish in build files, but have no idea what kind of havoc would be created without it. I see goldfish references in build/target/product. When I kill them, I start getting complaints about the APN system, which should only be for phones. So I've started brutally ripping all of the emulator and phone-related targets out of my build files, but this is incredibly painful. It'd be great if you could share a solution that maybe solves the other problems too...

I'm not trying to do anything too weird here -- I'm using the recommended Ubuntu 12.04, building for the nexus 7. I would have expected it to just build...

Does nobody else's brightness randomly go all the way down? It doesn't happen a lot but it does like every two days. Only a reboot fixes the toggle.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
Hope you all had a good Christmas (those that celebrate it:) And hope the rest of you just had a nice day anyway.

Looks like Fyodor's tweaks of pmem whilst getting us some ram back (yey) didn't leave quite enough for some graphics functions (boo). I was going to throw another build up today but not had enough time to get a build done and tested so hopefully tomorrow as long as RL doesn't get in the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Have you enabled swipe menubar to toggle brightness? Swipe left is dim, right to brighten.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
No, I've seen the brightness switch to the lowest before my own eyes without touching the screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Happy christmas too ! Good news for the updated build, I'll try it tonight. Does the tweak will resolve the kernel problem that makes the phone reboot when awaking it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gp4004:
I had 1 or 2 reboot since build 5 release, only on phone wake up.

I've set min frequency to 386 instead of 245Mhz, so far it seems to be good

I'm experiencing gsm issues after a long air plane mode (like a whole night): sometime I'm unable to get any gsm signal (and wifi) signal leaving the airplane mode, I have to reboot. This happened in build 1,2 and 3 (didn't try the 4)

It happens whith various radios

I also saw this while exploring in the settings.

am on build 5 with fresh install, have experienced few random reboots at lockscreen.

also still having the same problem trying to enable mobile data after using WiFi which enables but doesn't work or even show blue in status bar unless I enable then disable airplane mode, been having this issue since cm10.

Will try build 6 soon :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
I have experienced one reboot (shortly after I sent the previous post) I have connected the phone to the charger and the moment I heard the vibration and a white screen with HTC logo. I estimate that it could be 30 seconds after connecting - time set to switch off the display (screen is off)

EDIT: So I've come a second reboot :( I start Opera Mobile, the phone went to sleep, incoming SMS, pressing the touchpad, lit only the buttons below the screen and after a while just boot animation. Interesting is that the touchpad still blink ..

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
I'm glad not to be the firt to experience reboots on lock or unlock. As I'm used to unlock the phone by opening the keyboard I first thought it was some short circuit with the keyboard (the only mechanical part in the phone), but now I only use the button to power on and see I'm not alone I'm kind of satisfied. I'll wait for a kernel fix as the rom is very cool.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCTOUCHPRO91:
On build 5 antutu scores 46xx @1ghz on build 6 scores 39xx :) but no reboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aishsingh:
am I going crazy or is the flashlight not as bright as before even using high brightness
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imanoob:
I believe the reboots are related to something else. When receiving an incoming SMS and you wake phone the screen will not power on and will reboot. On reboot I will get a message saying the SIM card has been removed, which did happen in early ICS builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
I'm having problems with the gallery, not showing any pictures taken in other ROMs, only squares with the video icon (everywhere). It did not help erase data applications, or deleted Dalvik cache.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Try fix app permissions. What happens when you click on the vids?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nobooya:
Player says it can't be opened. I have the same problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zelych:
Fix permision (in ROM manager) did not help. When I click the file and then just pops up an error that the video does not play. Total Commander is normally displays photos.

I've now tried flashnout ROM and Gapps deleting cache + Dalvik cache but did not help

EDIT: Well, the Gallery itself is not the problem. I restored a backup from B131 and tried to install APG gallery from B6 and everything works as it should.

Argh I think I'm cursed, I'm on build 6 and having lots of problems:

1. A couple of random reboots

2. LOTS of applications hanging to the point where I'm prompted to close

3. Overall slowness, I had to change the CPU governor to Performance just to get my apps installed and configured without throwing the phone across the room.

4. Bluetooth will pair with my car (Audi A3) but will not connect, selecting the device in bluetooth settings does nothing.

:(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] becksbiertrinker:
+1 with the BT issue.. paired with my car but won' t connect. since there are people around who complain about BT issues with other devices as well, it might be a general Bluetooth issue. Anyone who successfully connected to a Bluetooth device?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sil_rain:
awesome, i like it, thanks for hard work! issues i have:

- gallery works bad, my fotos dont viewed, everything is like "videos" with "play" logo

- some laggy on lockscreen

- i think battery usage is high

still testing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Skarj:
I have to say that soon after installed was laggy, but now, after few hours of usage it runs quite smoothly. I think build 5 was a little faster passing from an app to another.

Also battery drain is higher then build 5, by now. But it need to test the build for 1 or 2 days in order to have some better results.

Tnx again flinny. Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Flinny, clean wipe, fresh install of 6, seems noticeably smoother imo over 5. No random reboots (e.g. when I received a txt) that I seemed to experience on 5. Great work. Haven't tried BT yet so can't comment on that. Keep up the great work buddy =)

5000 in AnTuTu ;)

By some fluke I got 5000ish in AnTuTu at 1.4GHz.... Not repeatable I must add, I got less at 1.8GHz, but there we go. Better than build 5, and I thought that was great. Fantastic ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blackknightavalon:
It's possible. I had it at 1.7GHz just now and I scored 4957.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
Okay from a complete wipe the camera doors start quicker only five second or so until the preview come up. However I now have the gallery bug where things appear add videos.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prairie-dad:
5348 at 1.7. The question is, what are your other settings in performance? And how do you prepare to run Antutu? And what good is 5000+ anyway, of it drains the battery like crazy? I'll settle for 4k, and take the extra hours!

p-d
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
I use the Virtuous OC Daemon, 368MHz minimum for screen off + screen on, 806MHz max screen off + 1.4GHz max screen on. Interactive governor for screen off + on. I find this ROM needs a more headroom for screen off otherwise I get reboots when it's sleeping, or at best lag when I wake it. Also I use the deadline I/O scheduler.

I have Surface improvement set to fix colour banding (I assume this is surface dithering), 16bit transparency off, no swap of ANY sort (no zRam, no sd card swap, etc.), I have purging of assets allowed, KSM on. Also max bg processes set to 2 and forced GPU rendering.

I'm 50% V6 supercharged (I only have minfrees etc. set, no patched services.jar) and run the Kick Ass Kerneliser (yes, I like zeppelinrox's scripts :cool: ) and I did an "Engine flush" as it's called in the V6 script, which basically just purges cached apps in RAM.

I personally think this is a pretty good set up, at least for this ROM. I also think below 1.4GHz just doesn't cut it - too much lag for me then.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:
I never used this antutu thing, but i've read here that many do, so my question is: what das it meassure? And what's it good for?

About the rom: i'll stay on build 4, even though the toggles don't work, cus of all the comments about these reboots and the gallery glitch. Cus with build 4 i only had 2 reboots within 1.5 months :)

CM statistics?

I haven't experienced this in build 6, although it happened to me in build 5. I have a feeling it has something to do with CyanogenMod's stats reporting... I don't know wh, I just figured it made sense (I can't think what else it could be)

It tests various things such as different aspects of CPU performance, 2D/ 3D graphics, RAM speed, etc. I also don't recommend staying on build 4. I think build 6 is a lot faster / smoother than build 5 (as shown by the benchmarks) and also I now have no more reboots with build 6. It should be fine as long as you don't let it under 368MHz. I haven't experienced the gallery glitches either. You might as well give it a try even if you're not sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
After upgrading to build 6, I had trouble connecting my Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and cleared bluetooth share defaults and data to fix. You might want to give that a try.

Still get reboots daily also with advanced task manager.
