Issue

dmesg output attached.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glankford:
I also have flashed 9-20130714-Nightly and I've noticed an improvement in the audio stoppage. I tried to repeat the problem that augoosto has seen by turning the wifi on and off. I was not able to repeat it. I will keep trying to stimulate the failure. I seem to get a lag only when the audio has stopped, and only when the app/program is calling to make a sound. if I mute the app and not the tablet sound (candy crush is a good one to try this), I get normal non-laggy performance.

Overall things are much better with this build. I probably only have to reboot a few times a day. Previously, I had to reboot every time I wanted to do something that involved sound.

Another thought. There may be some correlation to using the power switch. I just now let it fall asleep on its own, and use the home button to wake it up. I'll do more to see if I can find more correlation.

Thanks!

augoosto,

I don't know much about how sound in Android works, but I took a look at your dmesg output anyway. This line stood out to me:

[ 162.777248] asoc: can't open platform msm-audio

I would assume that this line occurs sometime after CM boots, because I doubt that your TP is taking almost 3 minutes to boot.

Next time that the audio drops out, try running cat /proc/asound/cards and see if anything is listed. My TP lists a single card called msm-audio in CM 10.1.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonMcKee:
I'm a newbie to Android on my Touchpad and I am also experiencing this intermittent dropout of the audio. I have not been able to narrow down the loss of audio to running any particular application, or sequence of events. In short, audio will be working fine, then, the next thing I know, silence.

For better or worse, I'm running a jcsullins preview build: 10-20130418-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-FOR_LIMITED_TESTING_ONLY_CAM . Everything else has been working fine except for this annoying audio problem. BTW, I first noticed the problem shortly after my initial install and tried to view a YouTube video. The video displayed one frame at a time, obviously very sluggish, and no audio. After rebooting, the same YouTube video played fine, and other sounds were working, too. I didn't think anything of it until I noticed the audio disappearing at random times.

If it helps, I've attached my dmesg and logcat listings captured today as soon as I realized that my sound disappeared. The "Out of memory" errors listed in logcat are certainly suspicious, but could just be a symptom rather than the problem.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augoosto:
sound card still listed

My sound card is still listed after using that cat line, but I am still no closer to fixing this problem, which I am now experiencing in cm 10.1 as well as of the last 10 builds.

Dmesg

See anything out of the ordinary in my dmesg output JC?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augoosto:
Partial fix

I have found what seems to be the cause of the issue. It appears that the issue is caused by bad blocks in the NAND memory of the device. Last night I did a full format, and before re flashing, I partitioned the SD card in CWM, causing the installation to be written to a different section of the devices flash memory. The audio issues almost completely went away in CM9, now I just need to find a way to identify all of the bad blocks and prevent them from being written to. Hope this is helpful to other users suffering this issue.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glankford:
This is great news as mine has become almost unusable. I'm not 100% sure how to partition the SD card in cwm but I'll take a stab at it and let you know if it fixes mine as well.

can you please give us the steps for doing this,, by doing this will we loose webos as well ? i have the touch pad with cm9 and have tried different builds but sound has not worked consistenly. in web os it works well.

with these particular touchpads we have, is it better consider some other OS !!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahoatam:
Any progress with this audio issue? It's the only problem I ever have with my touchpad. Incidentally, it never shows up on my daughter's, which has cm7 installed.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosted69:
Same thing here. Sounds work fine at the beginning, then lose it (after the screen is off for a couple of seconds).

It was working fine at some point using CM9, but since I tried CM10.2, CM11 and now evervolv 4.4.2... I still have that painful issue. Everything else work fine, except audio. It also prevent youtube from playing videos. Videos work fine while the sound is working, but when we lose the sound, youtube videos doesn't play anymore.

I've been crawling the web since last December on this subject, found a couple of thread like this one with the issue but nobody has found how to fix it (or I didn't find it yet!)

If anyone has an idea... please let us know, thanks!

ps.

Decided to take a new look at the issue. I have the same issue as this guy here :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51644387&postcount=556

I have this trouble since I left one of the older CM9 build. I tried so many roms from evervolv, cm11, most likely cm 10.1 cm 10.2 too (a while ago).

I decided to take a new look at it during the holidays, the information about the issue is quite rare and I haven't found anything to fix it really on my side. Did anyone manage to find a solution?

I have a 32GB touchpad. Audio works fine in webos, worked fine in some older CM9 release. Works fine in evervolv until I reach youtube (or it dies a while after). Works longer in CM11, might stop in youtube or after using youtube AND screen turned off.

Used tptoolbox full clean, direct acmeinstall etc. Spent so many hours on this. (I am a programmer myself)

I get the same message in my logcat : http://paste.evervolv.com/view/8904178f

I'm trying for the last time, but most likely heading to revert to CM9 and stay with it as nothing else works fine on my touchpad.

As title suggests I can't copy my nandroid backup folder contents from TWRP to my PC. Seems to be just the large data and system files that are around 1.3 gig each.

in windows 7 it never copied, no error. in windows 8 I receive an 'unspecified error' and it just stops.

I can copy other large files back and forth but just not these from my backup.

Any ideas?

Edit - Feature of TWRP 2.6. Encryption and permissions.

Currently only way to backup contents is to change permissions of the Backup folder contents, or boot phone back into recovery and do an an ADB pull.

I did ADB pull and that went fine.

I had this same problem for a while on my Nexus 4. I found this thread and tried to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Hi,

I started having this issue on my Nexus 4 but I can't remember if it was after 4.3 update. I could not copy the large files from the TWRP folder through windows explorer, wifi pro, Nexus Toolkit or any other method with the mobile turned on.

Permissions were already to 777 and still nothing.

For me the pull command with the mobile into recovery mode did the job.

Thanks
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] pjc123:
For me it was TWRP ver. 2.6. that prevented me from a PC transfer. An adb pull resolved the issue. I believe changing permissions has the potential of opening a can of worms later on.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] orangeyes:
Yes indeed it must be the TWRP update for me as wel that caused the issuel because I updated the TWRP before going into 4.3.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] veeravar:
Hi,

Could you please explain what an Adb pull is and how I can do it ? I've never done it before and need some help. I use a Rooted Nexus 4 (4.3), with the latest version of TWRP (flashed the recovery only today).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] orangeyes:
Hello,

Assuming that you are in the same folder with the adb.exe (can be found in the sdk or standalone online) and have the proper drivers installed:

1) Reboot phone into recovery.

2) COnnect it to your PC. A driver installation will take place if this is the first time.

3) Hold shift in the folder with the adb.exe and select "open command window here"

4) Type

adb pull /mnt/sdcard/TWRP C:\

You can continue after the C:\ if you want to copy the files elsewhere. Also fi you get error of the type that the target is not found propably your backups are saved in another directory. You can easily get the complete location to them by going into the advanced options of TWRP and the use the file manager to browse to your backups. You will see the target directory on top.

Edit: Sorry I did not include what adb is. here you go http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html

I think that's all :good:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] veeravar:
Hi,

Thank you for that tutorial. I tried using the code you mentioned. I need to move the TWRP folder on my sdcard to the platform-tools folder on the D:/ on my pc. I executed the following code (with cmd opened in the platform-tools folder):

adb pull /sdcard/ twrp

Only 24.6mb of files are being pulled into the said folder. Whereas the actual size of the TWRP folder is 1.5gb. The phone is booted into TWRP recovery.

Could you please explain why this is happening? and it would be great if you tell me the code to execute if i want to copy the TWRP folder to a folder called ANDROID in my D drive.

Hi all,

I've got this problem after hardreset my XDA.

Coz synchronizing isn't possible (with the partnership I've made before)

so I do a restore first (but some files can't be restored).

After that, it's possible to synchronize.

But... all data is gone :( No contact, no appointment.

Is it still possible for me to get it back?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rscerr:
not sure whether i understood your problem correctly, but you can use the PIM permanent store for contact, appointments and connection string. these are saved in the "permanent storage" and thus will survive hard resets.

hope this is what you're after :?:

hi rscerr,

do u mean "permanent storage" is folder "Storage\PerSaveBackup"?

here are some files, but they're all zero byte in size.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rscerr:
goto start >settings >system>permanent save and check the items you want to save permanently. (these will be saved in the permanent storage)

If you switch the unit after a hard reset, do the same again and the items selected will be restored.

[One (M7) Accessories] TonyTurboII:
Just wanted to share my thoughts with you guys about the cases made by Cruzerlite.

If youre looking for a fair amount of protection for your phone for an even fairer price, look no further than a Cruzerlite TPU case.

Ive been using these now for the past few phones ive had, and always end up with a few of them. If youre not familiar with TPU, it is a flexible plastic that provides a pretty good deal of protection.

Im kind of partial to green, so I opted for the green Bugdroid Circuit case and the Molded XDA Developers Case.

First off, let me say these are both a tight fight, kind of a point where they are a PITA to get on. Both have been on and off many times, and I can say thankfully they are not stretching out like some plastic cases tend to do.

The cut of these cases is also top notch. The power, USB, volume, camera and headset jack cutouts are all perfectly lined up, and do not interfere with plugging in any accessories.

Both have a very interesting design on the back which is recessed, and im sure over time will attract dirt. This is definitely easier seen on the lighter color cases, as a previous white case I had picked up dirt and ink very quickly.

All in all I give the Cruzerlite cases a 9/10, only loosing some points for attracting dirt and, should you choose a painted case eventually the paint coming off to reveal a white plastic case under it.

Final thought, You cant beat it for <$20.

Do someone know about this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAFF_1989:
Yeah, I heard about MF8 firmware it is the latest one but it should come after MEA update or together with the MF8 update for those who didn't got/install the MEA update.

MEA update is about 343MB and as far I know the MF8 is of 30MB. Now the problem is if you have got both the updates together then it must be more than 343MB. So I doubt that you didn't got the MEA update, but is it possible to update MF8 firmware without installing the previous firmware MEA? Personal I don't think so. :rolleyes:

http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-...is-at-samsung-according-to-employee-20130709/

I ran across this earlier today and it seems like something Samsung would never think about doing. Do you think they would consider doing this? Wouldn't it make it harder for Samsung to achieve a good brand recognition and send Samsung back to where they were before the Galaxy S3 came out (when no one really knew what a Samsung phone looked like)? Would you buy a Samsung phone if they did this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] pejhod:
It's the carriers. I see almost no advertisements by them. Best example was when the phone first came out, I saw nothing by AT&T. I walked in and it seemed like it wasn't even launch day.

Selling a bunch of other models would be a bad choice in my opinion. Improving the build of their one flagship device might make a difference. I for one would like a strong mid-body that wont flex (lets make the phone a bit thicker, please). Perhaps a metal band around the phone (or at least nearby the glass, I already scuffed up the front plastic ring).

What I don't want is something like the GS4 Active, great concept that will work for some, but ugly and not simple.

If they can make their devices even more physically appealing and have the carriers push them more, they'll sell more. This phone is too much like the GS3 that is running for zero down.... or so it seems to most of the population, one that doesn't know what a Full HD Super AMOLED versus an HD Super AMOLED. One that sees the two and find the slightly smaller and lesser as a better buy.

Just my 2 cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Slade8525:
my GF and i were discussing this earlier. from a marketing standpoint, we can see 3 variants working best (psychology and marketing background on her part), like the S4 active, S4 zoom, and S4 mini. i would actually roll the S4 into the Active, and make that the standard model. Turn the S4 mini into a 4.3" 720P with less sensors and detuned processor with 1.5GB of RAM and 8/16GB storage, apply the S4 mini specs to the S4 zoom, and then I would can the 'active' label, and make the IP67 rating standard on the 'flagship' model, throw in the missing sensors from the S4 proper, and there you have a more ideal lineup.

So basically...

S5 mini 720P with lower proc, ram, and storage aimed at women and sell it for $50 less

S5 Zoom with above stated specs for same as 'S5' price

S5 with max stats and IP67 rating.

AMOLED screens CAN be secured against water damage to IP67 specs.
