Refers to missing time service. I'm thinking time_daemon is either missing or not accessible. What I found interesting is he refers to motochopper.

I'm guessing your device was moto unlocked or was it done some other way?

http://www.s3forums.com/forum/galaxy-s3-help/4273-date-time-incorrect-while-recovery.html

Refers to a very old problem that I remember (date 1970 in recovery) which apparently affected S3's and was also tied to RTC.

Just something to think about I guess.

EDIT: Which recovery are you using? If not TWRP, try it and see if you can set the time from it (use a recent build) No custom kernel right? A lot of posts/info I find come down to enabling RTC writes in the end to "fix" it. I checked this in our kernel:

static struct pm8xxx_rtc_platform_data pm8xxx_rtc_pdata __devinitdata = {

.rtc_write_enable = true,

.rtc_alarm_powerup	= false,

};

And it's enabled. So that's not it. Here's the source link: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...b/cm-12.1/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-8960-pmic.c

I went into recovery mode, used the factory reset option of TWRP. Then proceeded to flash the new rom along with the gapps file. The random restarts started after I decided to give cyandelta a try. I thought a dirty flash of a full rom would work, but the problem only continued.

I decided to just restore a backup of the last working nightly rom (8-14). It worked fine, didn't have any random restarts. Dirty flashed nightly rom (9-16) today, it seems to be fine now. Probably cyandelta screwed something up?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Yeah I guess. It's been ages since I used CyanDelta -- I just download each build and flash it. Glad it worked out for you :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] MaicolS:
No, no custom kernel. I had twrp 2.8.7.0 as recovery, so i looked and there's no way to change the date, it changes itself to 1970 again at reboot in both phone and recovery.

EDIT: I flashed the 2.8.6.2 build but still nothing.

EDIT 2: I think philz recovery has an RTC related option, so i'll flash it and try

EDIT 3: I flashed last build of philz recovery and enabled that, and now only recovery shows correct date on every boot

EDIT 4: I solve it. If anyone sometime experience this bizarre issue, here is the solution

It's weird, but it worked. By the way, thanks [MENTION=2559459]Zeljko1234[/MENTION] [MENTION=4418762]CWGSM3VO[/MENTION] for the help
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
It's not your fault. You just flashed new CM build and later sbf to stock. That should bring your device to stock whatever you did before. Ok, some partitions are not touched even then, where is info about IMEI, MAC, serial number, etc.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Nice, OP updated :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I was close with trying without sim and luckily wrong with hardware fault :)

cm: Set IOPS mode for CFQ and BFQ automatically

I wonder if this means that the magic bullet is not fully operational yet.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
No, these cgroup nodes exist, I can see them. But I'm not sure if it requires BFQ or CFQ.

EDIT:

And as I stated, I/O is now non-blocking, so it must in part be working on our devices:

root@vanquish_u:/sys/block/mmcblk0/queue # cat scheduler
cat scheduler
noop deadline [row] cfq

root@vanquish_u:/sys/block/mmcblk0/queue # echo cfq > scheduler
root@vanquish_u:/sys/block/mmcblk0/queue # echo 0 > iosched/slice_idle

EDIT: Seems to work very well from what I'm seeing so far.

EDIT: See here for more information: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=cfq-io-scheduler-iops-linux-4.2
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
Yeah, I can see it's a little smoother in multitasking situations.

I won't be using my xt925 much since it's my daughter's now, I'm merely the guy in charge of making sure that things "just work".

But I'll definitely keep looking here everyday since the place is full of great people and discussions are very instructive.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Maybe is just placebo but I will try as soon as possible :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Hi, I'm stil running DU. I sometimes get freeze, so I plan to clean flash again. Is CM 9/13 really without major issue? Thanks
[RAZR HD Android Development] md07:
can I use Cyanogen recovery to update nightly ?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Yes, but you still need to follow the basics. CM recovery is only good to you if you already run CM and not coming from another ROM. I use TWRP, everyone should use TWRP.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I'm running 9-17 without issue. There's a few small bugs, mostly with APN stuff but easily fixed.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Thanks, I should try flashing it tomorrow :D
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Installed 0918. So far, really impressed. Looks like that the magic bullet really works. Played music with DCT over BT and no stuttering during apps installation from the market in background, syncing email, setting up phone, using other apps...

Previously music used to stutter for time to time even when phone is laying on the desk unused. However I've noticed some occasional lag in GUI. But that's ok, it's only dual core with 1 GB of RAM after all and cannot run all processes in real time. Really hope that will remain smooth after few days of use.
[RAZR HD Android Development] amedeh123:
dual core + 1gb is plenty

I came to the conclusion that android is SUPER bloated after using a single core 512mb ram lumia. No stutters, no dropped frames no nothing at all. Ever. Period.

I dont get why android is still comparatively laggy, sounds like something that should already be solved.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I agree with you, 1.5 GHz dual core should be more than enough. 1 GB of ram, depends of usage, apps, etc. but we had such amount in desktops not so long ago.

Android itself is not that super bloated but Google play service is getting bigger and bigger. Problem is in concept, architecture. Android is Frankenstein of Java, running on Linux with virtual machine between. Add frameworks, libs, vendors bloats, not well made apps, etc. and you get the point. Other platforms are compiled to native code and obviously better optimized. Java is chosen because the same code could run on anything if vm is available. Which is not the case for native code.

ART should make Android much better because each app (and OS itself) is compiled to native code during installation. That's theory, practice we see every day.

Anyway, CM still works noticeable better than before. Finger crossed that will not ruin that, as usual, after few days of up time.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
I also get this issue with DCT, I think I'll also try 09/18. Thanks for the information.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
In older CM builds changing batter mode to performance will fix issues but will set CPU clock to max and drain battery. Yesterday, I noticed that CPU clock somehow stuck on max all the time. That explained smoothness of build. After reboot, clock changed to bi dynamic again. Just listening music with DCT and got one glich after few minutes... and before click on submit another. Ohh damn, looks like that magic button was clock set to max :(
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Something is wrong on your end -- my device is not at max at all times.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Must be that I was holding it wrong :D

If you read carefully my post, you will see that after reboot clock is changing again but now DCM stutter, especially with flac. Btw, I didn't change anything after flash, just installed apps I use.

For test, just set battery mode to performance and stuttering is gone.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Btw, right now I'm listening Cowboy Junkies - State Trooper live FLAC. I like how bass sounds and guitar, really good music. They're from Canada, btw ;)

Couldn't find good youtube of that song, so here's another good one.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
No, not holding it wrong :) But CM does do per-app profiles, perhaps DCT/DCM is one that triggers Perf mode.

I see no stutter, no lag here at all. I've also forced my scheduler to CFQ + IOPS (which our build doesn't do by default)

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm running 9-19 and there's some copypasta fixes coming down the pipe for this particular addition as well which should appear in 9-20
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Yes, DCT not DCM. Would be good if DCT triggers perf mode. See, you're cheating with forcing different scheduler, not me :D

Btw, how did you do that? CM use to have that in setting but I don't see it anymore.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
See this post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62883623&postcount=4312

I only did it for internal SD (mmcblk0) and I might try external SD as well (mmcblk1)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
In mean time, I've changed scheduler to cfq for both, internal and sd card (music is on sd card) and battery mode back to balanced. So far so good.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
I'll listen it tomorrow [emoji2]

Is anyone using Snapchat? I'm still on DU (I'll flash CM in the next few days), and my phone still reboot when I try to send a video (but sending picture is working well). Should I try to provide log when I'll clean flash (with only snapchat installed?)

I remember somebody already mention it some months ago, but I just saw the issue is still here [emoji20]

Edit: I'm using Snapchat 9.14.2.0, but the issue was here on previous versions.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Reminds me of The Doors in a lot of ways :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Exactly! And that's good :) They have some boring songs but also some psychedelic, rock, country... but in general I really like it.

Btw, looks like that your tweaks make the magic bullet magic. After changing scheduler to cfq no stuttering anymore :fingers-crossed:
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
More cleanup expected in 9-21 -- just saw the commits roll in. Glad its working out for ya :)

EDIT: Flashed 9-21, all's well. Made changes to enable CFQ as per previous postings but this time included sdcard1 as per Z

EDIT: Noticed that BFQ v7 merge is in-progress for JBBL msm8960 kernel. I've seen some similar commits for kernel 3.4 so hopefully it isn't too far away.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I'm just enjoying in new David Gilmour album and DCT started to stutter again. Haven't had any reboots or changes since yesterday. Battery mode is balanced. Turning off per-app profiles fixed problem :confused:

Edit: Still stutters, less but still :(
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Try upgrading to 9-21 which included quite a few fixes for the scheduler. I think it'll get better when BFQ makes it into our kernel, as noted, the JBBL HD kernel is currently getting it merged in so hopefully ours isn't too far away. I'm guessing you're listening to music via BT because I've never heard it skip with headphones :)

EDIT: On a side note, I re-enabled automatic network date & time, watching alarms. Noticed RTC writes are failing, not sure if it's due to SELinux or not as I'm not seeing any denials. I'm expecting it to break alarms as my network operator appears to be in UTC rather than MST/MDT

EDIT: Z, I'm not doing anything custom as far as per-app profiles/etc other than changing scheduler and this thing is as smooth as glass for me.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Of course I'm using BT, cable is so obsolete :D But that gave me idea that stutter is because of BT process, not DCT or is combination of both. FLAC is not helping either.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Hi guys, so today is the day (or tomorrow :D ), I'll flash 09/21.

Must I only use the commandsyou describe here in Terminal or is there anything else to do?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Do you have a spare phone? :D
[RAZR HD Android Development] Thibault1171:
Yes, but I prefer not to use it (my old HTC Buzz [Wildfire])
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Does this repro using the stock music player as well? Yeah, I'm old-fashioned in a lot of ways still :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I have to check but stock player is less demanding and I think works fine.
[RAZR HD Android Development] VlitalityX:
Hey, you're just in luck. I happened to have the same problem for months on end, and just a few days ago, I searched around and found a fix. Go into developer options ->Scroll down to "Drawing"-> Turn on "Force RTL layout direction" then turn it off". I then tried snapchat video and it worked perfectly. It seems to be a permanent fix, after I restarted, video snapchat didn't cause a reboot.

Cheers!

It doesn't work on Dirty Unicorns. I'll flash CM in a couple of hours and I'll tell you.

Anyway, thanks for the tips.

EDIT: thanks a lot, it works on the latest version with CM :D
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
How BP is working in comparison with CM? Smoother, better, more stable, more feature reach, has longer battery life, etc?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
All subjective statements, flash it and try it out :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I asked him about his subjective (and objective) statements. I don't have time to flash rom every day ;)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Ducadim:
I too[emoji6] I have tried CM12 at LP5.02 times and I was disappointed... BP have a lot of settings (system and for customization), very smooth and lagginess, IMHO. It's my daily driver from March[emoji12]

P.S. Battery - as on stock KK (with Greenify)

from XT910 or XT925 using Tapatalk
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
CM 12.1 is a far cry from CM 12.0 -- that being said, I get easily 2 days of battery time on current builds. Lag is non-existent, smooth as glass. Especially with the new BFQ/CFQ cgroup optimizations that came into effect (which I expect will make their way into other ROMs)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Ducadim:
Agree, BP builders use CM commits[emoji106] . Earliest BP LP5 ROMs was much better then CM... Now main benefit for me - built-in tools.

[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I can't help myself, I gotta ask :) -- built-in tools that do what exactly?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Ducadim:
I mean, for example, all customization thru settings, not thru separate apps. And I don't use Gravity Box, there are all features in settings. Same for kernel settings, they use built-in Kernel Adiutor...

!!! wakelock and ad blockers in developer settings[emoji12]

Just use CM: simple, stable, update everyday !
[RAZR HD Android Development] Ducadim:
I can't agree[emoji6] , BP have same bugs as CM, even little bit less, due to not daily updates[emoji2] and some tuning from ROM builders. Plus it possible switch off all customizations

When I tried it last time, BP was really good. Honestly don't remember why I gave up on it. Probably had some issues. If it has all good things from CM and more, I may try again.

Only CM12.1 (all buid from release 1/9) work perfect, maybe CM has some bug, but you can not see, and they fix bugs everyday by nightly build.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Ducadim:
I have not such issues. About everyday fix bugs - and everyday add new[emoji2] BP 17.09 works good for me - no FC last days. Other side, I not test last CM's myself[emoji6]

only one I like on Blisspop ROM is floating mode. But i heard someone on Google+: Blisspop stole that feature (coding) from another team (maybe Paranoid, OmniRom or AICP) and not donate anymore for them.

Beside CM, i also like AICP very much, used this rom on my HTC M7, best rom base from CM with a lot of features and very stable. :good:

But on my decive now (Razr HD), AICP not support official. :(

So back to the cell network issues. I used RSD lite to flash the stock most up-to-date OTA. My phone worked, texting worked, MMS worked, LTE did not. I did the cleanest flash possible; wiped everything, even my nose. Installed 9/21, it was connected to 3G, calling worked. I forced LTE and call service stopped working again. MMS and text work fine though. I bought a skype number for now to spare me having to switch radio settings to make calls. Any idea what is going on? It hadn't been an issue till using the 9/1-9/2 builds.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Without radio logs, it's hard to say. Try: adb logcat -b radio

Try what you would normally try to get signal in this case and hopefully with it being logged, someone will notice something.

EDIT: Check APN settings too.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Flashed 9-24. No problems first boot, second boot no radio. HUPed rild, no effect. Kept getting Phone FC's. Managed to clear data/cache on Phone bits, rebooted, everything is fine again and my APN list is now populated with the right information (whereas in some past nightly, this was broken).

Been running for an hour or so without issue with a couple reboots (by choice :)) in between.

I also fired up my build VM, I got some time coming up where I can devote some effort to the cause again.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I had CPU on max problem again, changing battery mode and going back to balanced solved problem. Didn't use DCT today so couldn't blame it. Actually didn't user phone much today at all, just noticed that is warm.
[RAZR HD Android Development] tripaX8:
Can you answer incoming skype calls ok ?

Im also on 9-21 but since a few days, all skype calls ring correctly, but the screen doesn't show the green and red answer buttons for nearly 30-40 seconds.
[RAZR HD Android Development] md07:
only bugs on all the build CM12.1 is sometime after reboot, the sim no detect, no service, no signal... All rom buid base CM have this problem. The solution is: beforce reboot, turn on ain plane mode, and after reboot you can turn off, and the signal will normal
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
This happens to me once in a blue moon. If it doesn't recover from trying to restart rild, I'll reboot. Always fixes it. That is, I never have two reboots in a row where there's no signal lock. In fact, after clearing Phone (app) data/cache, I've had pretty good results where previously was problems.

In relation to Skype, I tested it with my wife. Worked fine for me, display came up and buttons showed up almost immediately. What took time was once I tapped video (or voice) the setup time for the session which lagged, got an ANR, chose to wait and it came up. Subsequent attempts were obviously cached and worked much better *shrug*
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I'm actually testing this currently. Decided to try something new.
[RAZR HD Android Development] amedeh123:
Anyone else having crashing, freezing and overall instability issues with recent builds?

Ever since I updated to the snapshot build and newer ive been having a lot of issues with cm, but I dont see it being discussed here, so I think I may be doing something wrong...

edit: It gets like this after a while of using it. Initially it is smooth and stable.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
If you can remember, what was the build install order you used? You mentioned snapshot, did it install it over a nightly and if so, was it older than the snapshot? Have you tried a clean install?
[RAZR HD Android Development] drkdeath5000:
I had these exact symptoms a while back and it drove me crazy. In the end i clean flashed, and using delta gapps one by one i reinstalled my apps. The issue reappeared with googlemaps for me so i removed it, havent used it since and its been nice and stable ever since. Using 23-9 build. So my guess would be its an app causing your issues, either something part of gapps or something else you have installed.
[RAZR HD Android Development] amedeh123:
I have installed the snapshot and most subsequent builds, all clean flashed without restoring any backups. I'm currently using 24-09.

I'm using very few 3rd party apps and CM gapps. Will try delta gapps to see what happens.

Thanks for the replies.
