Don't know if this will help... I use SwiFTP for file transfers to/from the SD, not exactly the fastest, but it seems to work without issues and without mount/unmount of SD... I did have a weird issue where my phone suddenly rebooted while plugged in to USB on computer, SD wasn't mounted, though I did have adb running as I was looking at some phone stats info... seems like something failed related to USB, not really sure as I'm not an Android Guru (more like a semi-noob with a bad addiction :D)... I did save the logcat of what happened if any Android Guru's (or Cyanogen himself) want to take a look, just let me know...

I haven't seen any force close messages but I did notice today that when trying to send a pic via messaging from Gallery that it dumped me back to the home screen. Went back to the gallery and tried again. It worked that time. Haven't sent anymore pics today, I'll see if it happens again though.

Wiped Then Flashed from CyangenMod 3.6.8.1 to 3.9.7 And went fast and smooth boot slow but expected due to flash .... apps still fully functioned except for power manager full it was installed but no icon was to be found to lunch app and app could not be started uninstalled app and re-installed app ran perfectly fine..... all other fun process that I have done seem to be working flawlessly ....my main issue as of this moment is something I havent seen before when my phone is on standby (when you usually hit menu to either get screen to turn onto unlock screen) well during this state if my phone is closed and I hit home or menu my screen does not turn on but I can here my selections and my buttons light up so I have to slide my phone open to then hit home or menu so that my screen turns on .... this is the same to turn on phone it must be slid open to see screen anyone know what maybe the problem here?

Nope, I just sent a MMS Image to myself (Astro Image Viewer -> Share -> Email and Message) and I was able to send and receive it just fine.

Repeat the error and then immediately run the Log Collector app then send it to yourself and see if you see where the issue is occurring. If you can't figure it out, then post it here and someone may be able to help you diagnose the problem.

I wasn't able to re-create this FC either. I'll try again tomorrow, after my phone has been on for awhile (I actually rebooted it about 1/2 hour ago) and I'll see if I get the same results.

Let us know if it continues to happen to you and, if it does, run a Log Collector immediately after it happens and send it to yourself.

Have you looked into a 3rd party app like "Battery Status"?

It puts the percent on the notification bar and is on there all the time.

Does not seem to cause any issues this end.

(If that is what you are after - save going to all the trouble of trying to get the one on the lock screen back on)
[G1 Android Development] pascanu:
I hate being right all the time :-)

No, you are incorrect. 3G (UMTS, as in GSM 3G, not CDMA EVDO) allows you to do both data and voice simultaneously. (I just tried it just to make sure I'm not wrong).

Problem is that if you are in a low signal area it happens quite often that when you make a voice call it looses 3G signal and switches back to 2G (GPRS or EDGE) which do not allow voice and data simultaneously. So overall although technically you should be able to do both data and voice, quite often it doesn't work (that's my experience).

Just to look smarter than I am: EDGE is considered by many as 2G but technically it's considered 3G (now it's more often referred to as 2.5G).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Data_Rates_for_GSM_Evolution

Sorry for being off-topic. Hopes this sorts out other 3G "bugs".

Why when I use Google Voice apps or the web based version google voice does not connect only when I dial my number using dialer it would work but when using an web app or market app such as Google's own google voice nothing works just acts like a regular call?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
I don't think this pertains to his 3.9.7 update. I would probably try searching to see if there my be a thread up for google voice i no some people have mentioned a few issues using the app on g1. I have not experienced the same issues.
[G1 Android Development] mitac112:
Actually it is very noticiable

with 3.9.2 I get 5h continious music play and with 3.9.7 I get 6:30h :) Also standby time increased alot. 3.9.2 after 12h standby battery drain to 90%. 3.9.7 show 99%. This is with data sync off, only 2g network setting and 1 active widget (beautiful widget).

I completely drain battery between flashing versions and making two tests

Still 6h music play is not enough for me :(
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
No data even though icon in notification bar says connected.

There are likely more people out there who are experiencing this intermittent data issue. Most people are simply rebooting. This is what I did to mitigate the problem: I reinstalled the radio.

I am not sure if this 100% fixes the issue where you show connection to data, but cannot send or receive it. There has been at least once since I did this that a restart was necessary/... but that may be normal. I mean, this is a heavily tweaked ROM. One should expect glitches...

But before I flashed the radio, the loss of connectivity was always happening. I mean like many times a day.And that really sucks, especially if you use programs like Google Voice wherein the loss of data equates to missing voicemails and such.

Try flashing the radio again. It is available on the HTC site, under support and downloads for the DEV1 phone (not dream).

By the way, there was some talk around the boards referencing statements by HTC and stating that it was necessary to update the radio everytime you change your ROM. I am not sure as to the validity of this (and couldn't even direct you to the post), but it seems logical and doesn't hurt.
[G1 Android Development] Blind Oracle:
Okay. I did some quick searches before I posted to make sure it was a valid option with vfat. I didn't have trouble finding others saying they were using it, so I posted. If its not valid with vfat, that certainly makes sense.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] JanetPanic:
No it is not. It is a filesystem independent option. man mount would have shown you that. There is no guarantee that any particular implementation will honor it however. Almost all *nix filesystems (including Reiserfs and XFS) will honor it.

It probably does actually but since atime for vfat has a resolution of 1 day I do not think it will make much difference

true.

Since flashing 3.9.7 ive been having issues (most notably in browser) with touch sensitivity/multi touch..? Pulling down notifications will attempt search, tap lower area of screen will open app drawer, scroll in browser zooms in or out, etc. Any know issues with this, or could it be a possible hardware problem?
[G1 Android Development] pascanu:
Without trying to be rude, this thread is for an experimental ROM, it's about testing and providing as many answers as possible not adding unnecessary questions.

You have a question you can at least try to solve first by yourself: if it's a hardware problem it will not go away if you return to the rom you used before it (either reflash or nandroid back to it).

Try it and then report back and see if other people have seen that particular problem.
[G1 Android Development] pascanu:
I had a similar problem when I flashed 3.9.5 over 3.9.7 (wanted to go back, test something). Flashing back to 3.9.7 solved it. Try reflashing 3.9.7 or/and wipe and then reflash.

P.S. You might want to update your signature, it's confusing. What ROM are we talking about?
[G1 Android Development] userfriendlyme:
I was experiencing the same thing as well as having some issues when connecting to adb. I ended up reformatting the fat32 part of my memory card which cleared allot of my problems includng the screen delay when ringing. I also enabled compcache here which helped performance allot on my phone and i haven't had a problem since when a call comes through.
[G1 Android Development] AdhvanIt:
Understandable. After post, flashed back to official tmo 1.5 rel. No such problems. None before flashing to 3.9.x from 3.6.8.1 either. Ive read through multiple through multiple threads and have found no posts regarding this problem

Network location not working

I upgraded from 3.9.5 to 3.9.7 earlier and now it seems that my phone can't grab its location using the network based method. Noticed a few other people had this issue a couple of revisions back and tried all the suggested fixes but nothing will work at all :( The network location option is staying ticked so I don't think its caused by that particular issue.

Any ideas?

[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Yeah, I noticed that is what he said. But that doesn't seem right. If we were to lose something important in the /data/data folder because of a post-install wipe, then that seems to imply you can NEVER wipe again for fear of losing that stuff.

I'm sure we are interpreting something wrong.

Guess i should wipe right now, then reinstall the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] Droid8Apple:
Agreed...

I also had some lagging and reverted. Home was force closing, I have a log ready to be emailed just a little busy right now. I tried to post earlier but I don't think it worked, my home screens were erratic. Sherpa was great, hope I see a port WHEN I HAVE TIME TO SEARCH. WHEN...
[G1 Android Development] Saiboogu:
Exactly - If you wipe after flashing, you must flash again to fix the things you wipe out from the /data partition. So if you need to wipe after flashing, just flash again afterwards.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Thanks for this. But, isn't there a way to do this from terminal (and therefore from a script) so that it can be done easily every time after a new flash? I am not really that good at writing shell code, but it seems like you could remount, cat that line of code into the /system/build.prop file, and reboot. Someone who knows the syntax could probably do it easily. Am I wrong?
[G1 Android Development] inoah:
You could put this in your userinit.sh, and from then on it will be reset the first time you boot after you flash a new rom. (It won't take effect the first time, but just reboot again after you verify that the phone comes up normally.)

# Configure google checkin service to be disabled if it isn't already
# set one way or the other. A reboot is required before this takes effect.
# N.b. if this is set, SetupWizard will fail.
if ! grep -q '^ro.config.nocheckin=' /system/build.prop; then
mount -o remount,rw /system
echo ro.config.nocheckin=yes >> /system/build.prop
mount -o remount,ro /system
fi
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Won't work, userinit.sh is run before the Android runtime is started.
[G1 Android Development] inoah:
Exactly. It should work on next reboot, shouldn't it?
[G1 Android Development] lancealtar:
Well, I think I fixed the issue with a series of wipes/restores/upgrades.

First, I tried wiping and going straight for 3.9. That didn't work. Then, I restored to 3.6.8.1. That reproduced the network disconnect issue. Then, I updated the radio, which fixed the problem for the disc'd issue, but the problem would come back with any subsequent reboot. So, I updated the radio, then immediately upgraded to 3.9 with the next reboot. Now, it seems everything is stable. I've rebooted three times without any problems. Hope this helps someone else.
[G1 Android Development] MotherMayI:

sorry haha! im just really anticipating 4.0! i cant wait omg! i love everyone here! keep up the good works!!! (mug shot pose!)

[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
I wonder if compcache is working (I posted this to the compcache tutorial too).

I have two G1's. Both have brand new installs of CM 3.9. One has compcache (with swapiness set to 20 and 24mb of space allocated) and one does not. After a reboot on both devices and waiting a five minutes for everything to settle, I filmed the opening of the camera app. The one without compcache is noticeably quicker. Is compcache slowing our machines down, at least in certain instances?

By the way, cat /proc/ramzswap confirms compcache is enabled.

i have found , install->nandroid back up->wipe->reinstall->nandroid restore , very useful .

thank you cyanogen for the roms , for the recovery ,and especially for the effort
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
But that's stange. It effectively means wipe is useless, since you will always have to reflash
[G1 Android Development] springah:
.. what? rom installs data onto /data too.
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Just to clarify....

According to Cyanogen, you must wipe before you flash as there is important stuff in the /data/data folder.

The premise is, if you wipe after you flash, you will lose this data and have to re-flash to retrieve it. But this invalidates the wipe feature for ever, since every time you wipe you will lose this data and have to re-flash.

Maybe the Master chef can collaborate with us and clear this up when he gets time.
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Cyan

Perhaps you could (at some point when you have time) compile a little list of what stuff is safe to remove (ie Checkin service, updater, IMprovider, etc etc) and complications that we may have after removing those. I know that I take HTC_CIME, amazon, voice dialer and IM.apk off right away and have no problems afterwards. It always bugged me to see al that stuff (checkin, updater, ftp? drm?) in the app manager. Thank you if you do, I will understand if you don't
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
3.9 now. I flashed last night (and checked). I came from 3.7.7.2, no wipe for several flashes of updated ROMs. I generally don't update ny signature until I'm ready to commit to a ROM and recommend it.

It's unusable, really. Tonight I'm going to, and probably need to, start from scratch wipe, format my ext3, shrink it and make it ext4, and try flashing 3.9 from RC29, unless someone stops me because it's known to be not the smart thing to do.

Now I'm running, (really just for kicks or to try it out or because I'm paranoid and make too many backups) Backup For Root Users (the last, not the latest). "My Apps2SD data" backup has been running for 15 minutes. Calendar storage just fc'ed. The other backups seemed OK.

I think I'm just a pack rat and it's time to clean out.

(Edit: I know WinMo down to being able to recite the registry keys for the default Input Methods - not really, but I could find them if you asked, but gettting a grip on this Java/Linux stuff is like learning Chinese from English, or vice versa. My brain is mush.)

Root Problem

Root works fine in recovery mode

Have searched all around XDA with "lost root" and such and can't find any working suggestions.

USB Debugging is enabled, have tried it disabled as well...

Have tried /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su

chmod... both 4755 and 04755 ...

Have ran fix_permissions...

I would really like to know what I'm missing here. I Love the rom so far but I'm afraid to completely switch to it if I can't get this running. I have two apps I do not want to lose that require root...

I am having similar issues with my music player and doggcatcher. I am running the latest radio update. Rom 3.9.7
[G1 Android Development] rayberto:
Reading more threads, I will try reflashing the radio.
[G1 Android Development] epicphotoeye:
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunatly, I did try this already. However, the code I found also included cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su before-hand.

So, me not knowing linux commands I just followed the script I found, kind of in a last resort since I could find anything else and wanted to try everthing before posting.

I suppose a little more details are in order:

Long time reader of XDA, first with htc wing, now G1. Did a lot of reading when I first got my G1 - so long ago I don't remember the rom I used originally, but definitely a year or close - been waiting for cupcake and low and behold I hear of a donut! So...

Tried a wipe and flash to CM 3.9.7, no root and thought I did something wrong.

Found files and guides, re-downgraded to RC29, re rooted, flashed recovery and hard spl, jf 1.51, then cm recovery 1.4, then made the partitions for my sd, flashed new radio and latest spl, and finally flashed 3.9.7

again, no root, so first I tried this code cause it's all I could find:

still not working, found something about making sure USB debugging was checked, it was, so naturally I unchecked and rebooted, no change. Finally found a CM FAQ for an earlier version and ran 'fix_permissions' from recovery, still no change. Can't access localhost and in terminal, root is denied.

I'm sure I'm not that unique and am the only one to have a problem like this...
[G1 Android Development] dumfuq:
Not sure what your original problem was but "cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su" would have corrupted your superuser program. Easiest fix would be to wipe and reflash. You could try replacing your su with the original one but that wouldn't solve the original cause of the problem. So in short...wipe and reflash.
[G1 Android Development] etiennepb:
I've seen some comments in this thread about 3G and whether it can handle data and voice in tandem. What's the consensus on this. I live in an area where 3G is spotty at best. If I'm in the midst of a call where the signal is 1 to 2 bars and the OS decides to sync would this drop a call. It's happened a few times over hte past month and I have been curious as t the cause.

[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
reflash the ROM

I agree with the other poster that your next best step is probably going to be to reflash the ROM. You shouldn't HAVE to wipe necessarily, so if you've spent more than a few minutes setting up your phone it might be worth it to try reflashing the ROM without wiping everything first.

For curiosity's sake you may want to explore /system/bin (ls /system/bin) just to see if su is still in there, but whether it is or not you'd probably want to reflash so it's sorta academic at that point. Curious what happened though.

[G1 Android Development] NPS_CA:
OT but; 3G/UMTS can handle voice and data at the same time; GSM (e.g. EDGE/GPRS) will NOT and either it will terminate date on an incoming call or divert the call to voicemail (phone dependent).

If you are on the edge of 3G coverage there is a chance the radio hops onto EDGE at times (GSM) and that would cause loss of simultaneous data and voice.

Calls in progress WILL never drop on GSM (EDGE/GPRS), you will simply have no data access (data bearer) until the call is terminated.
[G1 Android Development] nurre:
That's not how it should work at all, it should always drop the data connection, not the call. I dont think I've had my phone drop a call once.
