What are you using to watch videos?

Also updates to get rid of some kernel problems that caused problems in the 5/26 release.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
I think it's not the problem of playing but recording a video because I have tried playing it on various players and on a Windows PC and it's the same. While playing, the video freezes for about a second several times but the sound is still playing. And it happens on exact frames not randomly. So it looks like it's encoding/recording issue.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
encoding is the only thing I can think of.

When on a call people say that I'm always breaking up... And the battery stats are somewhat off.... I look at it u got 32% the when I restart I have 50%
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
Could just be your battery stats...

Clear your battery stats, run the phone all the way down, charge to 100, then completely drain again and charge.

Also please remember android doesnt drain the battery based on use immediately, It has hard coded "drain values" in the framework that tell it if this is on use this much, if this is on at that level use that much, etc. These are not fine tuned to include drain reduction for cpu undervolting, and other undervolts.

I've installed into MT4GS but it said unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped, I did wipe so many times but it still same problem, can you tell me what should I do please ? thanks alot
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
S-ON/S-OFF?

Any restores after you flash?

Did you flash Gapps after flashing rom? If so which? This is a must. Even when I dirty flash I have to reflash the gapps.

Also which recovery are you using??
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] anitgandhi:
i know this was sort of discussed earlier, but now that the ROMs are closer, i'll ask it again: what difference is there between this and the official build, besides inclusion of a kernel based on scverhagen?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
As of right now, this one's kernel has more features and is build with a different toolchain. I also tend to play around more with parts of the android tree. But I havent done anything to the rom in a while.... been caught in some kernel stuff... and sleep
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
(no pun intended) the toolchain is a gimmick in my book, but i'm curious what are the features aside the governors that might be interesting for the official kernel? thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
Well I dont know where the schism started between the doubleshot only and the official.

But first, Initally I saw the tool chains as a gimmick too, until I started trying different ones and noticed in unoptimized one there was a point to the startup where the animation would lock for a quick second. I feel the toolchains play a good part in the kernel itself and would play a great part in android had it been C/C++ oriented. Because android runs on a VM on top of the kernel and one that isnt compiled with any additional optimizations and/or toolchains there isnt much a performance notice.(all opinion and theory).

I know the official kernel has the updated bluetooth and touchscreen drivers and should have mpdecision.

Aside from the governors and schedulers, I think there were updates to the thermal driver and various test changes though I have been meaning to update scverhagen's fork of the official to include some of these things. I have been lazy.

Though I should have been a little clearer that there isnt much more other than the inclusion of frivolous toys and tweaks.... for me... and users to play with. :)

I've been called out by the big man.... :-/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] autojack:
Just out of curiosity, why isn't there an "official" CM 10 or 10.1 for this device? On the CM web site it only lists stable CM 9 (which I'm using) and some nightly CM 9 builds.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
the official cm9 is not really _that_ stable... besides, cm10.1 isnt there because some legacy stuff is not yet merged, for more info see the official cm10.1 thread
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
Legacy stuff will most likely not be merged either. The rate at which android devices come out and manufacturers not going back and updating their kernel, older devices such as this one cant compile with the newer current android hardware sources.

Groups like Code Aurora Forum make their hardware tree updates on newer devices and for newer kernels (3.4 I think is what they're currently using). If I were to try to build with the newer headers and newer hardware tree... theres a chance that it may or may not. In fact I've been able to build a rom for the phone using display-caf drivers and the up-to-date display drivers(from the android tree). But the kernel headers did not match, and the phone would not boot.

I could've updated the stuff in the kernel if I found them, or if they'd compile... but then that leads to a hybrid kernel with an obscure version number... and possibly unable to update with the main linux branch.

I've also been working on trying to get the kernel up to version 3.1.... but compile errors galore. I was near the end but then ended up with some linking errors.

I have learned a few additional things so we'll see how it goes, but this will end up being a good news bad news thing as the phone wont boot if the android's headers and the kernel's headers dont match the device wont boot. FUN.

This is why I stick to my blackberry.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
Thanks for the details, much appreciated...i'm just lazy too to go through all the commits and histories generally :)

and really, it was just a practical question, big appreciation for the stuff you're doing for our beloved doubleshot devices.

GPS

As of the 20130609 build, my GPS is refusing to sync again. With GPS Status and tools, I can occasionally get it to come up, but not in Maps. I don't even get the GPS icon there... Any suggestions? Rolling back to the 0602 build didn't fix it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
Interestingly enough, restoring a nandroid backup I made just before updating seems to have fixed it. Seeing as I have tried reverting every part of the previous build already, that strongly implies it is something in the data partition. I then verified that by gong back to the latest, but with a full wipe, and the GPS is fine. I am now working on figuring out what part of the data partition is causing the problem. I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing maps, I am going to see if anything else helps. I REALLY hate doing a full wipe, too much gets lost...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
delayed weekly.

Date is the build date. Not release date... sorry for delays.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
anyone know why when I take a picture with the flash, my phone turns off?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
Now that you mention it, mine does exactly the same thing. It seemed to warm up in the process, but I might be imaging that
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
Mine doesn't. Flash works fine both on stock and CameraICS app and many other.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
It happens when the battery is below 50%... Above 50% it works fine. :confused:

also, what is the deal with E/ Trace (21xxx): error opening trace file: No such file or directory (2)

...xxx being a random number...

It comes up in my logcat a lot. :silly:

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

Along with E/AudiohardwareMSM8660
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
I dont know enough of the pure android source to say where those come from. I can tell you they're Errors in Trace and AudiohardwareMSM8660.

You'd be surprised that they probably dont mean anything except the code probably drops into those errors possibly from bad coding(improbable) or just that something in the trace is trying to run and no trace file was created and thus that error occurs. Audio... something may be trying to play, if you're getting sound, then its probably trying an output to something like.... I dunno BT audio(not definite but an example) that isnt plugged in and errors because its not there.

I wish I could say for sure.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
I can also verify that when the battery level is good, this doesn't happen on mine. I rolled back to the previous version and it still happens, so it is probably not a problem with this build specifically. Seeing as it can turn the phone off, it sounds like a driver bug to me...

Wait a minute mms always worked on this rom right? So why is it on the latest build I can't send or receive mms
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
I replicate this one too, but I don't actually know how long it has been broken. I am on Wind Mobile in Canada, so the MMS is set up through a second APN, which can apparently be problematic in at least some versions of Android...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
Odd, I dont see any changes for Tmobile, or Wind in the cyanogenmod apn list... and i didnt change any of those things. I wonder if it will still be there in the new build.

PS... minor updates. been lazy.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
I don't know for certain if it has ever worked for 4.2.2, actually. Does T-Mobile have one APN set up, or two?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
I see way more than 2 for T-mobile US, I see 2 for Wind one particularly for MMS.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/blob/cm-10.1/prebuilt/common/etc/apns-conf.xml
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
I have a suspicion that the 4.2.2 code base has an issue with having a separate APN for MMS, which seems partially validated by some threads I have seen googling the issue. I have noticed in my case that when the phone tries to send an MMS, it shuts down the default APN and switches to the secondary one. At that point, the MMS message appears to fail due to some issue using the second MMS (possibly trying to use the wrong interface name, due to the switch?). I think I will do another complete back up, and try a few different versions to see if any of them work. I am currently snowed under with actual paying programming, but if I get a significant break, I will put on my developer hat and see if I can fix it...

By the way, I love your ROM. I am thinking of trying the AOKP one, especially if I can manage it without wiping my /data partition. Thanks for the good work :)

symlink problem on latest build 0707

Am i the only one who got into the trouble of "installation aborted" when flashing with cwm 6031?

p/s: I did wipe cache + wipe data + wipe dalvik + md5 checksum

Update: problem fixed with twrp :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rtiangha:
For what it's worth, I believe that disabling data to switch to the MMS APN and then switching back to 3G when the message is sent is the expected behaviour. Obviously, failing to send the message isn't though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
I see what you mean. I wish I could say for sure as well. I've been trying to tinker with the build and framework a bit, with no avail. Do you know anyone who is a bit more familiar with the source? :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

I dirty flashed the previous ROM with the newest one. It fixed the battery drop issue. I wasn't referring to the "battery level", simply as to the driver which killed the phone when it got under a certain percentage. :rolleyes:

Headset in-call volume

I always seem to have the weird problems... I have noticed that when I am using a head set, my in-call volume is FAR too loud, even with the volume set all the way down. This happend if a call starts while the headset is plugged in. On the other hand, if I plug in the head-set during the call, the volume is normal. Anybody have any ideas on what might be causing this?

-Craig
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
That's one of the issues that has been there yet since CM9.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
I have had it for quite a while. Is it CM only? I am thinking of switching to AOKP. If that would fix this, it would certainly give me incentive to get around to it...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
SilverL's CM and AOKP are basically the same. But it's also like that on Tbalden's CM and JellyKang. (I flash and switch to all of the four ROMS from time to time)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
Volume issues with headset plugged in

Is there a thread for the headset volume issue anywhere? In my testing so far, I have discovered that simply tapping the speakerphone button after the call starts is sufficient to correct it. That strongly implies that it should be possible to write a kludge app for this that simply waits for a call to be connected while the headset is enabled, and toggle from headset to speakerphone and back again.

On a related note, I have noticed that there is no visual indication that the headset is actually in use. In fact, it appears that the phone has no knowledge that a headset is plugged in.

I seem to recall that the MT4G (no S) has an issue with two of the pins in the headset jack being connected backwards. Is this also true of the MT4GS, and if so, would this have some bearing on the problem?

Edit: I should have remembered this one myself. Backwards in this case is a matter of opinion. The original standard for this type of headset was by Nokia. Apple then came along with their own headset pinout that swapped two of the lines. Apple was pretty clearly breaking the standard, but they have that hole market-share thing going for them, so the rest of us are out of luck...

Does anyone have any issues with the new hangout app? I can get video from both cameras just fine, but I cannot get audio out. I can hear the other person but not be heard. Also with GrooveIP, I had to manually set the mic source as voice call. otherwise same issue (no voice out).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ruggie0:
Alright, so I have still been having issues with my screen draining the battery. It's been happening with ALL post-gingerbread roms (yes, I know I ran other things, but is this type of drain normal?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ruggie0:
Oh, also, I'm running a streaming radio app (di.fm) and when I shut off the screen, 30 sec later, the audio stops, whether its to my bluetooth boombox or the speaker. Any ideas to keep this going? I don't know where to go in settings.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PsychoPhreak:
A fellow DI listener! Are you listening over wifi or data? DI free or premium? My first thought is wifi, and that the radio's timing out. If so, check settings, wifi, advanced, and Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep.

Ok so I just had the new google maps app pushed on me, and all aesthetic issues aside, the app is having constant graphical issues. I get video artifacts, displaced pieces of the screen, garbled video from the popup menus... its horrid. Is this a CM10 issue or a google maps issue?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] acwest:
I suppose it could be an MT4GS issue as well. I certainly replicate these issues. I also have problems where the blue arrow mostly points the wrong direction for no apparent reason. Needless to say, I found an APK of the previous version and rolled it back.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Pyr0ball:
the arrow pointing the wrong way seems to be because of the orientation of the compass being in portrait mode. for some reason it doesnt compensate when you put it in landscape mode as far as ive seen
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PsychoPhreak:
Wow, not that I've ever seen.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pyro9219:
Have you tried Settings > Developer Options > Disable HW Overlays?

I had to do that for several games that were causing screen tearing / artifacts.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] PsychoPhreak:
Personally I hadn't, but that's a wonderful suggestion, wonder if anyone else has?

Also while using navigation, I went to pull down the notification drawer, and that had all kind of overlay issues as well, with the map popping back up over the drawer while it was down, flickering, etc. Definitely will try this, thanks for the idea!

Edit: So after learning how to re-enable dev options, I just tried this, and it definitely seems to WAY help. Is there any downside to leaving this checked all the time?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pyro9219:
Glad to hear its helping.

Honestly, I'm unsure of the impact that this setting has on the device, I just know I've needed it for a few games as long as I can remember having custom ROM's on this device. Maybe SilverL or one of the folks closer to the code might have some better details for you.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SilverL:
I cant say for sure because we never know what changes googles makes to the underlying parts of their apps.

Had some computer problems and was unable to use my linux machine... All is well now.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Well I doubt removing the radio secure flags would help change the hardware no matter what script is written as change firmware will not change our hardware.

In other words you won't need s-off on the phones it works for but it won't work for the double shot.

Newest update

Using latest build + the new kernel that scverhagen posted today, and everything that I expected to work is working fine. Now if only wifi calling worked... ;)

Tested working (most only brief tests):

8M Rear camera

Front camera

1080 video recording

Bluetooth audio/phone

GPS (Google Maps)

Wifi (tested at the full speed of my uplink on speedtest.net, 16Mbps/5.5Mbps)

Wifi hotspot

Battery Monitor

1A USB charging

FM Tuning (with spirit free)

Flashlight function

High-speed USB download (20MB/second)

high-speed USB upload (to phone) @ 3.45MB/s (may be flash write speed)

Barcode scanning (FAST!)

Auto-dimming

SMS

Accelerometer

Genius button goes to "google now"

Rotation appears to work consistently as I would expect.

Every application that I tested...

I think this covers all the components at least in basic, and everything appears to be working as I would expect it. Very good job!!! Now, that wifi calling... ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ruggie0:
Naw, it's cool, yer not being rude. I was just wondering specifically for THIS rom. Anyways, I noticed a new APN has appeared out of nowhere on the apn list: fast.t-mobile.com I pulled almost 7 Mbps on MikRom under that apn. Would love to see if I can pull faster.

Also, does H in the signal display mean 4g? I've seen 3g most of the time with H showing instead every once and a while.

Test update

After doing feature testing yesterday, I started using the new update with the new kernel, and have encountered one problem that appears to have resolved itself. On startup of Skype (not the most well behaved Android application from my experience), I had several device restarts. Once it had restarted a few times however, everything started working cleanly. I feel that the issue may have been the burst of data coming in, as I'm online with several extremely long-lived group chats, and lots f contacts. Once the local client had retrieved enough data, it slowed down, and the problem stopped. This is just speculation however, but fits the data. Beside that, everything seems to be working smooth.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Pyr0ball:

I have both cores on badass governor at 1188. Is there a reason why they don't go over 756? Other than a reflash, is there a way to have it all reverted to default settings?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] drklaw:
Interesting. I see the same thing. I switched to ondemand and it started using higher clocks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] abe5:
"22: BadAss Governor:

Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 918Mhz and therefore stay cool and will use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 918Mhz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1188Mhz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 1-2 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)

Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1188Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu."
