Two days ago my screen started go nuts. Hopping back and forth, sometimes getting umresponsive and "ghost-touching" when playing games or typing.. Searched the forum but no luck. Someone experienced this or have any idea as to what it could be? Be happy to post logcats or whatever if i knew how..

mine always goes crazy when it gets wet :p. turning it off and on always helps.
[Defy Android Development] okij:
Thanks for reporting. :) I checked it with Network Signal Info (also just got 00:00:00:00:00:00 as BSSID) and therefore added this bug to my list of known bugs for the 09-17 nightly of CM10.2 for Defy(+).

This has been going on for a while in the recent ROMs. It won't show the proper RSSI either.

I'm wondering if the recent versions of CM10 and CM10.1 show the same wifi bugs. If this is the case, I think that the wifi driver that [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] wrote from scratch still has some bugs.
[Defy Android Development] ithakaner:
I've check both Quarx CM10 and CM10.1 (latest builds) and there is no such issue. All the BSSID's are reported correctly.

So maybe, as I mentions in my previous post, it's maybe Android 4.3 related... :confused:

Update#1 (28.09.2013_23:39_UTM):

So far I haven't found any direct bug concerning the Android 4.3 theory.

The correct BSSID is in the system, but seams to be instantly overwritten:

a Taskerprofile capturing any BSSID other than 00:00:00:00:00:00 will see the correct address

Network Signal Info show/flashes (every ~30-50sec) shortly the correct address in between all the 00:00:00:00:00:00

I'll try to uninstall youtube and report back. i remember some time ago other users complaining about youtube as a huge battery drainer but i didn't have that issue at the time so never took care for that. I also don't use facebook at all. i hate it XD

I've always had that issue with my defy, started about 2 days after i bought it in august last year... i'ts pretty random, sometimes i go weeks without that problem and sometimes several times a day. Try this: 1.- clean the screen with a damp cloth and then dry it as much as you can (sometimes the oils from your fingers cause the screen to go nuts, remember it's capacitive screen acts like that when there's oil or water). 2.- some games (eg. Galaxy on Fire 2) can go unresponsive for a few seconds and then marking the touches we made on the screen very fast, causing the impression that the "defy has gone wild" (there's and idea for a movie). 3.- turn the screen off, clean again, then turn on again. this helps most of the time when "ghost-touching" happens.

Hi,

I thought my back light button were dead (one year with only settings button) but after moving quickly in both direction (auto brightness on) the slider bar of the advanced settings some start working Randomly again. Now home and back button are ok.

Strange... Never done a sbf flash, always use wiperzip then twrp or cwm.

Is there any command line to test them? Or to set different values for each button?

Nice new phone with working button, 4.3 and soon OTG!

[Defy Android Development] ithakaner:
I haven't tested the bare VPN function of Android, but for me the

VPN

(pkn=de.blinkt.openvpn) is working fine.

And I think it's also using parts from the VPN-system, eg. the trust connection dialogue.

damn it . I had upgraded from 0915 to 0917 ,then play store disappeared and many apps can't open ... they promted there's no google play services support ,although i had installed gapps-jb4.3-20130813-minimal_edited_20130814.zip/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip several times, fully wiped, again and again , I'm a little suspicious that the process of installing gapps was too soon to succeed

now I reinstall cm10.1-0709 and find that g+ is not even supported . play Store showing " This item is not compatible with your device ." maybe so are some other apps , which i don't care about.

[Defy Android Development] Schattenspieler:
I tried several ways to format cache/data to ext3. Every CM I started afterwards declared both partitons as ext4 (terminal: mount). Tried: stock recovery, TWRP -> Tools -> format as ext3, Aroma wiper: wipe/format, full wipe + recover only system of TWRP backup, CM10 and 10.2. Even reflashed stock sbf and tried before mentioned steps, again. Is that just a display error or does it just not work that way? I'm really confused now.

For the time being I back up regularly.
[Defy Android Development] gkkovacs:
I am running CM10.2 since August, but any time my phone powers down due to empty battery, something gets so messed up that it would never boot up again. Couple of times it got in a red Moto logo bootloop, but now the CM loading animation never finishes and the red led keeps flashing.

Today it happened on 20130917, but this is not the first time, been happening since CM10.1.

TWRP loads fine, but reflashing CM10.2 (with Dalvik+cache wipe) doesn't seem to help, neither does factory reset.

Only flashing Froyo SBF, rooting and installing 2ndboot, etc. can revive the phone, and TBFH I CBA to do all this **** again...
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
That's the infamous data corruption bug. Have you tried restoring a TWRP backup? That always solves it for me. It's still a pain, but better than starting from sbf.

Rumor has it that the problem may be related to ext4 format (see this post from a couple of days ago), so you can try formatting to ext3 and see if that solves the issue. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't confirm that it works, but I plan to try it sometime in the next few days.

About the bluetooth issues.

I've issues with voce from phone: no voice or volume very very low and distorted sound. This occur with BT headset (sony MW600) and BT car audio (Kenwood) also . When I disconnect BT headset switching it off, the voice doesn't route back to the Defy speaker, so i cannot hear nothing, the mic also seems have problems because the other side cannot hear me. If I switch off Defy BT, all back to te normality.

This issue only for the phone sound, i've no problem with music and the same BT devices!

Loss of connectivity

Hi,

I come back to you regarding the loss of connectivity (data is on, the top-right logo indicates "H", or "3G", or "E", but no packet gets in or out).

Fortunately, I just have to switch "data off/data on" (or plane mode on/off) to get the data is back again; but this now happens very often (can happen every minute sometimes). Data won't come back by itself.

I noticed 2 things :

1) Sometimes, the bandwidth is very very low; If I switch data off and on again, it gets better

2) My provider is relying on "national roaming", and I get bounced between my "official provider" (FreeMobile) and the other provider (Orange) a lot because they both cover the area; it seems to me that this national roaming is making things worse (but I can't force the phone to only catch my official provider's network; all I can do is prevent my phone from sending data through the other provider but I don't care, it doesn't cost me anything).

I'd be pleased to put any kind of sniffer and provide any kind of log you need for investigation (that's the most I can do, I guess).

Can anything take a look about this ?

Regards,
[Defy Android Development] okij:
Besides this report, also [MENTION=4521310]ennarr[/MENTION] reported here that there are still data drops.

I also still have mobile data drops 1-2 times per day with CM10.2, whereas this issue was completely solved under CM10.1 after the SlugZero patch was applied and adapted to CM10.1.

[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION], [MENTION=4841764]SlugZero[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1892363]xdaid[/MENTION] (who adapted the SlugZero patch to CM10.1): Could you please have a look if there is something CM10.2-specific which has still to be changed in the applied SlugZero patch? :confused:

Thanks in advance! :)
[Defy Android Development] patriiice:
+1

I'm in the same conditions as you on FreeMobile and I must add to things:

- it's very dependant on the signal strenght: when I'm at home I almost never have any datadrop. When at work, it's maybe 80% of time that I have no data (maybe worse because I'am not always looking at my phone...)

- it's better on CM10, but not good enough (maybe 40% of time with no data), and it's one reason I stay on it rather than CM10.2
[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
Yes, the (re-adapted) SlugZero patch is actually NOT working with 10.2.

The patch included by Quarx is the SlugZero patch readapted to 10.2 by me, it compiles fine but the result is not good as i expected (as it was for 10.1). In the CM10.2 sources under telephony some classes were changed, i'm still looking for the change which prevent the patch to take effect. I tried by reverting some commits which was not there in CM10.1, i made at least five new test-builds, no luck so far.

I'll keep trying :)

I also had a 26 months old stock battery on my mb525. with this rom and lately iv'e been getting 1 day tops of normal use.

i just bought a new hf5x battery (which is claimed to be original) and im on my first cycle with the battery. no battery percentage drops what so ever.

the phone was last charged 50 hours ago and i still got 18% more.

the phone has been under normal-heavy use in those hours.

so i can pretty much say its the battery.

on the rate of degradation of li-on batteries u can read here:

However It's really slow after installing gapps...tried to wipe data and reflash.

Is this the full gapps package, or minimal?

im suspecting you have the full package installed, try again with minimal gapps and you will see a world of difference.

Is your phone stuck on boot? I experienced a similar problem. Simply reflashing did not help. I had to wipe everything and flash fresh - or restore a previous backup through TWRP. Someone mentioned that this could be related to a problem with ext4, which is used by 10.2 for /data and /cache.

Is there a way to mod the ROM so that it does not use ext4?

I'm back from Mokee (few days) to newest quarx.

SUPER. This rom is in my opinion better!!! very very responsive, fast, stable!!!

errors:

- Sometimes very little problem with Internet Connection (few post ago somebody write about it)

- and one topic that bugs me for month! - 'long show name of contact when incoming call' - very bad thing because when somebody call his name from phonebook show after 3sec, 5sec. I have only ~400 contacs (i dont use photos, contact are simple only 1 gsm number, 0 notes, 0 e-mails). Simple phonebook. When i go into phonebook everything is fast/normal/good.

Data in / out transfer arrows are missing

I found another minor bug: In both Wifi and mobile network strenght icons (the blue ones in the top bar), the small arrows which indicate data in / out transfer are missing.

Besides those already known bugs, IMHO this is the best initial release of a new CM-version by [MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] yet! I already switched from CM10.1 to use it now on a regular basis, because CM10.2 already runs very smooth and stable here and the known bugs so far are not a big deal for me. :)

Installation Problem

I did a sbf flash and then downloaded twrp from the twrp homepage for the defy and flashed it through CWM.

Well, when flashing CM10.2 my TWRP tells me:

E:Error in tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 0)

And I don't know what to do now :confused:

Update: I tried to install CM 10.1 first. Then TWRP was updated to 2.6 and it started with flashing, but rebooted while it was flashing, now sbf again. Where do i find CWM 6.x (cause TWRP makes me want to throw my defy out of my window)?

did you try wiping /system (but not reboot!) in twrp before flashing cm10.3 zip?
[Defy Android Development] Fire Head:
I tried, didn't help. Rebooted again. :eek:

But rebooted while wiping...

Fourth time it worked. I wiped system, the screen went black, then rebooted to recovery, then installed.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Had a look at the CM10.2 zip, without trying much I can reduce it to 140MB by removing things I do not use. The new Focal app for camera takes a lot of space, if needed I suppose we can remove it from the zip and install it as a normal app that will go in /data. In any case, I only wanted to see if CM10.2 is viable as an option for our DEFY, I think it is unless the gapps will be too large, the current gapps packages are early versions, not finalized and I do not like the minimal versions as certain things don't work with them. It's all very fluid for now as everything is under development.

Building from source currently fails

The current repo does not build to completion. When trying to build directly after init/sync it fails in opt/telephony due to the presence of maniac103's RIL bug workaround. Revert that patch to get the build to proceed past that point.

$ cd frameworks/opt/telephony/ && git revert 5e5e523b7176acae0495157bcfc8a5bedb880351 && cd -

This allows the build to continue to the next problematic point: the exceedingly hacky legacy audio patch in libmedia:

Edit: I see a new bug, when you disable the 3G data the signal of your operator will not back anymore, if you access the 3g settings it says "Config stopped work". With this bug i will need to back cm10.1.

This problems probably will be fixed next build cause its not big problems (just the focal probably will need more work to fix).
