Never noticed it doing it before. This last week is first time. Wasn't sure if maybe least build had this issue with more than me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
What do you have that uses gps? The only thing I noticed about gps is that locks seem kind of slow and the icon seems to stay a bit longer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kramer56:
Yes tiny that what going on it stays on in notification bar and and always says it searching. I haven't added any apps in over a month and nothing different in use of phone either. It's just weird to me it comes on n goes away so often and the battery drains quick. ie. When I started typing this battery was 95 now is 83
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
I would try wake lock detector to see if you have something triggering GPS and keeping the CPU awake
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kramer56:
Ok I did that and Android system and media using the most in minutes, others were only in up to 4 second. So now what can I do with it zach

Location manager service is up to 10 minutes under the android system.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
How old is your phone? I keep wondering if you just have hardware issues. You also may have an old battery that doesn't have a good charge because that's a quick drop even for a gps issue. I say turn off gps unless you need it. And logcats are still nice.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
no but I had a totally bat**** run the other night; i was assuming it was runkeeper's fault but considering the timing pf your questions in this thread, i have to wonder if it's related to this. here's the runkeeper map: http://i.imgur.com/PJzowRg.png -- obviously i'm not superhuman and leaping over rivers and running through houses...

i'm running a race tomorrow and will try to logcat for it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
We don't know that for sure
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kramer56:
Tiny my phone is over 3 years old but battery is 3500 extended and only a few months old. Like I said this started in last update to rom .

Not counting out it being my phone but just strange it happen all the sudden so figure I ask the forum that all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
I would maybe try a better branded battery than like sedio or mugen
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Oh yeah I forgot about the extended battery. Seems weird for sure. Anyone else have this issue? This phone isn't my daily so I don't catch issues as easily. Regardless I don't think anything gps related has changed in a long while.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
Did you change the qcom camera or GPS to cm ... If you are still taking qcom GPS from EV maybe they were testing something
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zombolt:
As I've stated previously, the cheap Chinese 3500s are absolute garbage. When I was running cm7 and using one of those it would run down quickly like that
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
You know there's an easy way you could have found out. My github indicates what I'm using from what project. The reason I'm still using qcom's gps, actually gps-legacy, is that GPS didn't work on this device with CM's qcom-gps project. If you look at my github, you'll see that gps-legacy which the inc uses hasn't been updated for months.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Osiris19:
I had a sedio and was not impressed. Would barely last me a day.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kramer56:
Yes it Def weird all the sudden it all changed. The last build you told us to wipe n I did that, that's when it all began

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

I going to update rom to see if things change

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

No different lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
When you wiped was it a full wipe or just system? Since you just said you, I don't know who you're referring to. I don't think there was ever a build where I said a full wipe was recommended. If anything a full wipe (including data and cache), would help resolve weird issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
Yeah it happened again this morning -- I ran a 5K and it said I ran 11 miles. I'll try a full wipe tonight maybe as you suggested, tiny -- maybe that'll clear things up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] c_raethke:
I have noticed the GPS searching as well, but I assumed it was because I usually have GPS turned off. I am still on 3/14 build. I checked my battery stats today for the first time in a while and was surprised to see a process called *screenlock* using a third of my battery; I tapped on it and it brought me to Maps. Now it shows as Maps in the list of battery stats again, using the same amount of battery. Is this service used by the weather part of the lockscreen widget or something?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kramer56:
What about the maps yes or maybe the cLock widget it has weather right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
Maybe cLock if you have it setup to do by GPS and not by zip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I don't believe cLock uses GPS at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Or you could wait a day or two until I get an update with the linaro toolchain.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 123421342:
You got it thanks for letting me know!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CyanoLou:
Very happy with this ROM! In testing various features I have found that wifi hotspot is not working. I have checked passwords and the usual. It trys to connect, then disconnects. Anyone else notice similar?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shano56:
Hey tiny, when I turn the am/pm style on the clock on it pushes the button on the top right over, as seen in the screenshot I took. any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Yep, I'm aware of it. I had that issue with it on and I didn't notice that's what's causing it until someone else pointed it out. It probably will require some edits to the framework to make it work on this small screen but I'll see what I can do. I'm not sure where to look either.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shano56:
Alright well at least u know about it :) no big deal for me really so I'm not too worried
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Well, it gets cut off on my Galaxy Nexus when I use the normal size AM/PM for clock but not when it's set to small, so that's something CM needs to fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
New build up + check OP for gapps which replace the AOSP keyboard with one that supports gesture typing. The advantage of this is that when updating you won't have to flash the keyboard mod with updates once flashing this gapps package unless you wipe system which then you'd have to reflash gapps again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Any news on when the camera will be fixed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
When it's fixed. Most likely evervolv will switch to a legacy camera again and that will be the solution. It's not hard to download an app in the meantime. This is what ended up fixing the camera preview on 4.1.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 123421342:
This is the build that includes the linaro toolchain?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Yep. I forgot to mention it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 123421342:
Awesome! Im going to flash this now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
And what about camcorder?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYC Coyote:
I've learned to stop asking. It ain't going to happen. We are lucky to even have a working camera. Best option is to use an app with software acceleration built in. Although it's not a perfect video it's something.

Or stay on ginger.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Spport for Android 4.2 was literally added earlier this month. The evervolv team's got more things to do than just fix camcorder.

And as NYC Coyote said, if you need camcorder there are options, or use gingerbread for full functionality.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nathansnyder:
I love this. 4.2 is even smoother than 4.1. As for the camera bit, how would reverting to the legacy camera affect the lock screen camera?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mamarley:
I still find several things to be laggy. The text messaging app is much slower than in 4.1 and some other menus also tend to scroll more jerkily. I think it might have something to do with text rendering, at least in the case of the SMS app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nathansnyder:
Yeah, I use Google Voice, so I can't speak for the SMS app, but everything else seems good. I had an issue the other day where music started playing from the phone earpiece instead of the headphones that were plugged in, but haven't duplicated it on this build yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cheesethief:
Latest build is running much smoother in my opinion. Can't thank you enough, Tiny.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kramer56:
I don't use it but I figured it runs in background because it being a widget. It was just a suggestion
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
I know this is PAC but it uses the same source from cm
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
If you don't have weather enabled in cLock you won't get any battery drain from it. I've never seen the GPS icon pop up when checking the weather. But if you have any other weather apps I'd check if they use GPS or network location.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Yep that's network based not GPS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
Than the is something in surfaceflinger/android system that is calling the GPS chip to grab the location, maybe if not cLock and not maps it may be the cm stats which if I remember calls location, imei and ROM version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Maps does use GPS but only when you're actively using maps that I've seen. I don't have this issue. GPS stays active a bit after using it but it does go off within 20-30 seconds. Or it could very well be something with kramer56's phone/setup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
Haha good thing I said I was going to wipe anyway, because this has never happened before but everything went crazy after applying the 4/12 build -- there's some kinda launcher issue, i enabled developer options but i don't get advanced reboot menu, i plug the phone into my computer and it charges but i don't get the option to turn on USB storage or the other thing... but most importantly the home button doesn't work all of a sudden, and the battery icon is replaced with the spinning circle 'waiting' sort of icon. two reboots later and it figured out how to connect to my home wifi network... something definitely screwy, but the md5 checks out so it's not a bad download.

hoping that dirty flashing back to 4/5 does the trick, because it's late at night!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kaepernick:
Odd. This happened to me after restoring a backup made with twrp 2.5.0.0. Home button failed to work. Everything was completely screwed up. None of my settings had been saved. Advanced power options would not show. It never happened before with normal flashing. It was a bad backup. Maybe you had a bad download?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
Nope, I checked md5 -- as it turns out, if you're like me you shouldn't do this stuff when you're exhausted. I think this is the second time I've forgotten to flash ext4all after flashing the ROM. Redid it this morning and everything appears to be mostly ok except i'm missing a couple apps and the Play Store and Gmail both FC on me. So I surely screwed something up; just not sure what.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kaepernick:
Forgetting to flash ext4all shouldn't mess anything up. I've never flashed it and these builds work fine without issue. Did you wipe system? Before you install the latest Gapps in the OP, you must wipe system. I'd wipe everything, including system. Flash the new build, then flash the latest Gapps (tiny's, not the ones from goo.im). Then ext4all, and see what happens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
i heard this @ another cm10.1 thread, the systemui had a memory leak both on custom and stock ROM's. Cyanogenmod "fixed" this on 4-13-13. im not sure if anyone here knew this or not...ill be posting a link wen i find it.

Flowed Away From My Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
And here's the patch on CM 10.1:

SystemUI: fix memory leaks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
I wiped system before installing the gapps -- I don't reinstall gapps every time; usually I just flash the rom and then reflash ext4all. Whenever I've had problems like this it's from forgetting the ext4all. So I flashed ext4all and only having problems with google accounts at this point.

Anyway, wiping system/cache and trying again; we'll see if that solves the problem! If not I reckon I'll start over from a factory reset; it was my fault after all.

Edit: reflashing gapps made things work like normal once I set up all my google accounts again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
You need to flash the mod each build if you're using a no data limit mod. Otherwise no need unless you wiped data.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Saw it and will build when I get a chance.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
no rush Tiny, thanks for everything :)

Flowed Away From My Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
Yeah exactly -- I have been using the mod and forgot to reflash it this past time, and everything went crazy. Totally me being stupid, sorry for the distraction, hope it's a lesson for everyone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I should clarify though. Although flashing the ext4 mod isn't strictly necessary for the normal data mods, if you flash a ROM, you lose the mount tweaks though the filesystem gets mounted as ext4 by default in later CM7 and all ICS/JB builds. Also, anytime you wipe a partition that does a format, the filesystem gets reformatted as ext3 by default. Now with TWRP, that may have changed and the formatting is now ext4 but I don't know for sure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Osiris19:
I used to use ext4all, but I stopped flashing it like two months ago since I no longer have system issues and I haven't had a problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
Does it help to know that I'm using TWRP 2.3.3.0 (should I be upgrading that as well)?

I wiped system and reflashed ROM, gapps and the mod, and reentered all my google accounts and all is well except the play store which is still erroring out. I can provide a logcat unless you (or anyone) just knows a common error/resolution for it. (I hit play store, a few seconds later it says it's stopped).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
You probably have a space issue. Check your space in /data and /cache. Did you wipe play store data already?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
Ah! That seems to have done the trick (wiping play store data). Many thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
Hm, on second thought that doesn't seem to be the issue. Or at least, I don't think it is?

df /data says 748M, 495.4 used, 252.6 free

df /cache says 196.8M, 79.4 used, 117.5 free

Doesn't that seem like it should be plenty? But the play store keeps crashing. I have a logcat with a whole list of /E lines in it -- should I take this to the Q&A thread?

Edit: I cleared the play store data and the play services data again and it appears to be working again -- but it did last night, too, and then stopped again today. Fingers crossed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kaepernick:
How much space do you have in system?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
This thread is fine. Also see above about system free space.

What about /data/data?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I don't think I'll be able to update my ROMs as often these days. I have a Galaxy Nexus ROM (unofficial CM kang with extras like this one) finally and have recently started building semi nightly builds like here. I don't have the time to dedicate like I used to and I'm probably moving to Galaxy S4. At that time, I'll probably forget about the inc and maybe just check the forums daily. Supporting 2 devices is a lot but 3 sounds crazy. I've already kind of let CM10 fizzle out as there's not much reason to update it unless there's a true camera fix or YouTube flicker fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
thanks guys:

/system 248M, used 206.1M, free 41.9M

/data/data 748M, used 498M, free 250.1M

but I think that after wiping the play store and play services data again this afternoon, things seem to have stabilized -- I keep opening play over and over again to try and make it crash and it's not doing it now.

as an added bonus I ran tonight and runkeeper didn't give me crazy GPS readings, so that issue seems to be taken care of with the latest build too (although I realize you didn't change anything about GPS; maybe I mean with my latest reboot or like, whatever).

Thanks everyone!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
With that said, now I talk about my upcoming ROM. I had to pull out the battery bar for now as I haven't had a chance to fix the commit as it was broken last night and I had no time tonight. The good thing is the systemUI memory leak fix is in there as part of CM's merged commits. Probably what is more significant is a few dalvik improvements but mostly I've updated the kernel in the ROM again.

It has an updated interactive governor (io_is_busy and other commits that were made to the AOSP kernel source). I also added dynamic fsync and additional TCP congestion schedulers. If you want to see what's new in the kernel, I'd recommend Trickster Mod. It doesn't have a full set of features but it works on incredikernel. It doesn't work with audio boost or fast charge for this device as well as voltage control. Governor and I/O / congestion scheduler settings can be made though in additional to dynamic fsync (fsync off on screen off and then back on on screen off to maintain device integrity). The dynamic fsync is a bit experimental here so leave it off (default) if you're unsure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hapablap:
Understandable. The nice thing about this stuff is, once you get something working, there's no real reason to change it -- so wherever you end up leaving it off, I'm gonna hang on to it till I get a chance to upgrade. Thanks for all you've done; I really am amazed at how long this phone has lasted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tydiamond11:
The other thing that is very nice about this ROM is you can update very easy with goo manager
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zombolt:
The only advantage to ext4 is if you absolutely must have the app space. Right??!?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tekweezle:
Some people say it makes things run faster because of the ext4 file system.

For me, it's a must have because exhausting the 149 mb has been fatal to my Dincs. It's not a big deal to flash it.

Sent from a Samsung Fascinate running CM 10.1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kaepernick:
10.1 has come a long way since January when I first started using it. It's still officially in nightly status, isn't it? You (Pons and Neo) made that sucker work pretty damn well on the Dinc and I'm sure it will improve even more before the end. I switched to 10 because it's a bit smoother at the moment (and wanted to try it for a bit), but I've been looking forward to your updates of 10.1 and the kernel updates.

CM10 is pretty good the way it is now. Really, there's no real need to focus on it at all anymore.

That said, the eventuality of you moving on was inevitable, and we appreciate you and the other devs for helping keep the Dinc relevant after all this time despite it not even being a phone you use anymore. If you decide to lighten up on updates (even once monthly or so), do you plan to keep supporting until 10.1 officially hits stable status?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
all true except the fact that this isn't official at all, cm dropped support after cm7...

Flowed Away From My Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kaepernick:
No, I meant when official 10.1 is stable. Was under the impression that it was still on nightly status. I know these are unofficial.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zimlokks:
ahh lol should of clarified, im not sure but im gonna ask someone if they will be building cm10.1 once stable, since these are great stable builds but based on nightly source, once cm10.1 goes stable i bet he will :) best of luck Tiny, planing to seeing yur work on the S4 :D

Flowed Away From My Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ohredwood:
Bummer, I hate to hear that, but knew it was a matter of time. You and Pons have breathed so much life into this phone it's not even funny. Heck, I guess I've become kind of a flash addict, waiting for your next build to flash, lol. I don't even know how much more can be improved with this rom, but it's sure fun trying them out.

I fully plan myself on going with the ONE or it's variant if VZ should get onboard with it. So I reckon I got a couple more months to passify before retiring my INC as well.

Thanks again amigo!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tekweezle:
yeah, thanks again for keeping this platform alive. your 10 and 10.1 roms are pretty much the most stable for this platform that I have found.

there are still a couple of minor unresolved issues but didn;t stop me from putting on phones for others to use as their work cell phones.

by the way, have there been any changes or improvements in the power management since the april roms have come out? i have been getting better than expected standby time lately on my wifi only Dinc and wonder if anything has changed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zombolt:
Can you please elaborate. I certainly don't want to break my dinc from not flashing ext4
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
You'll at worst soft brick which is a bootloop. Not a brick.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tekweezle:
all the info is in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488351

a scenario just popped up today. I restored all my apps via titanium backup and it installed everything to the phone memory. it was an all inclusive restore so I got more stuff reinstalled than I wanted to or needed but i was being lazy. hadn;t trimmed the backup in a while too.

i got a message saying I was dangerously low on disk space and had only 70 of 750 mb free. if I had only 149 mb instead of 750 available, what do you think the results would have been? at best a bootloop and alot of cursing. at worst, totally screwed and needing a factory reset.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Osiris19:
With the way cm10.1 is, and the way tiny freed up the space, there really is no need for ext4. I really don't understand why you would need extra system space. Your apps are stored on a separate portion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I'm not sure you understand the purpose of the ext4 no data limit mod. It has nothing to do with /system and everything to do with /data and /data/data. I agree that freeing up /system is pointless now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aldroidx:
may i flash this with out sdcard, is it safe to put the zip file in the internal storage and flash with full wipe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Why would there be a problem? Yes it's fine.
