problems with 4.2.4

I just upgraded an I'm having problems my phone keeps going to the android boot screen an it keeps cutting off in the middle of conversations when I'm on the phone when I tried to look at something on youtube that took me to the android boot screen it hasn't happened again though since the first time please tell me that I there is a 4.2.3.1 download somewhere or another update coming out soon thanks

Is it normal that with cynogen mod whne you put the phone in vibration it DOESNT vibrate when you receive sms?
[G1 Android Development] DefTaker:
Yeah, seems to be a bug? I hope there's a revision soon...like the new icons and stuff but have noticed that it randomly reboots to the android logo screen. <-- Even with a wipe! *sigh* may have to do a clean install from a pre-cupcake rom. YIKES...please, no...i iz too lazy!
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Actually this ^ is. First, up to CM4.2, all of the previous versions used swapping as a technique of adding virtual RAM, hence improving the experience. Look up swapping, and you will understand that it WILL kill your SD card eventually.

Even with Cyanogen disabling it, a lot of us still rely on it, and find ways to enable it. We don't care about a $20 SD card, but do care about the performance of our devices.

You can't be sure about what the user reporting this "issue" has been doing with their equipment, hence you can not make such blunt remarks.

If you have three partitions set up, so that swap is the last, you can enable it by typing this in the terminal:

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

I have spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to make it stick, but I'm sure a userinit.sh script will be available soon, so we won't have to find work-arounds.

Mine is 128M, no problems, no lag. I can't imagine how swap can be "too big" between 32 and 128 M. It's not THAT big of a difference. THis is just my experience, I haven't ever had problems with larger swap, only with smaller, actually.

Can you verify your APN for internet access is set up correctly? I haven't seen anybody having this issue. BTW, when this does occur, it is kernel related, meaning boot partition related. It can only be a bad download, or a bad flash, but check your APNs first please.

Just installed it thanks to the help or Amon Ra
[G1 Android Development] B/B:
HELP

Did the update and now I can't get a darn thing to work! Tried to flash and get the boot screen and now I am locked on TMO G1 and nothing further. I can't even mount the SD card to the computer! I'm in panic mode. CM is awesome but this last update obviously wasnt stable :(

Hi. I was on 4.2.3.1 and everything was working. I updated to 4.2.4 using Cyanogen Updater and I got a lot of FCs.

So, I wiped, applied 1.6, applied 4.2.4 and I'm stuck at HTC Dream logo.

I've tried formatting SD card and remaking the partitions, reflashing.. it's stuck at HTC Dream. I can pull battery, get into recovery mode and reflash but I've done this almost 10 times and its just stuck at HTC Dream logo.

I can still get into recovery though. Have I bricked my phone?
[G1 Android Development] EWitsJan:
Just re-download then re-flash.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
you did NOT brick if you can still get into recovery. put your sdcard in the computer, copy over a KNOWN WORKING ROM ZIP FILE, reinsert the sdcard into the phone, reboot into recovery, then wipe, formatt ext, wip, repair ext, then flash that working rom zip,.
[G1 Android Development] karolbe:
Connect your phone to a pc and see what's going on using adb logcat. perhaps you have the same issue as me? I had to return to 4.2.3.1 - hopefully I ALWAYS do a full backup using switchrom before installing a new rom :-)

And of course your phone is not bricked...
[G1 Android Development] B/B:
Same thing happened to me. You have to start allllll over again:

anyone have the changelog for the 4.2.4? can't seem to find it in the CyanogenMod Wiki Release Notes page.
[G1 Android Development] gucy:

[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:
Sorry buddy but he has not bricked his phone...yet. The term brick means it is in a state that you can't return from. If he can pull up the recovery image it isn't bricked, it is just not working now. Can be saved.
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
From my question, this fails to put feedback to the dialer, it has it for everything else including keyboard in locale. Not sure if this is an issue, have not heard any other complaints about this.

Also, my bluetooth will not transfer files, (2 g1's both on 4.24) also a buddies phone which is now running 4.2.4 none of us can get this working with eachother nor other BT phones.

Problem happens in the transfer, I find phone choose file to send it goes, the transfer pops up and dies in a matter of seconds and no data was sent but a comformation of sending is noted. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong here, or at least point me somewhere I havnt looked yet.....thankyou!!!
[G1 Android Development] ragflan:
Hi. Thanks for all the responses. I'm currently redownloading all files. While I do that, just two quick doubts.

In the CyanogenMod Wiki, where it says Hard SPL (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...nal.29_-_ONLY_FOR_HTC_DREAM_.28G1.29.21.21.21)

I NEVER did that part before. So whenever I used to press the Camera+End Call button, I used to see a rainbow of colours.

Today, when I press Camera+End Call button, I see the 3 Androids on skateboards. I didn't do that Hard SPL part before... Is this normal?

Also one last question about the flashing process. These are the steps I took.

1. Do the partitions through Console (in recovery mode: Fat32, Ext4, Linux-Swap)

2. Wipe.

3. Apply 1.6.

4. No Reboot. Apply 4.2.4

5. Reboot. There's an icon with a Box loading something onto the phone. Restarts and comes back to Recovery Mode by itself.

6. Reboot again and wait for it to boot.

Have I got the process right?
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
really ?????

you HAD to post the changelog here.... why?!?!?!?! where's your xda-ness! be sarcastic! waste that post space and yell at a noob like he was a bad driver! gosh!!! why are we helping each other WTF is this forum coming too...

lol

anyone noticed the swipiness and app drawer pull lag compared to 4.2.3.1? still fast tho... just different feel... just sayin'... and YES i'm effing bored at work. lol
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
After testing this a bit, here are the results:

1.BenchmarkPi only had the mentioned problem on the very first run. Now it starts up alright.

2. Tests don't go faster than 17,5 secs. During tests, CPU clock doesn't go higher than 383MHz. Not any faster with Linux swap enabled.

Conclusion:

Cyanogen plays it safe with this build. No swapping enabled by default, and keeping the CPU at minimal over-clocking. This is good for our devices and our SD cards. How he achieves the incredible overall speed of the ROM? Beats me!

So far, I have only one bug, and once I properly catch it I will post it in the tracker. The Market seems not to want to download on the first try. Sometimes it does, but 9 out of 10 times, the logcat shows "Invalid signature", and Market refuses to download the app. The weird this is the "fix". If I push the End button, and send my phone to sleep, it will sometimes resume the download :eek: Other times I have to cancel them and start again, to have it actually download and install. Haha... I haven't seen this so far :D
[G1 Android Development] B/B:
My apologies. There is a point of return. So therefore I was wrong and I'm man enough to admit it...lol

Well I am having an issue regaining root;

$ su

# cd /system

but when I do this line ---> cat /sdcard/recovery.img > recovery.img

I get this ---> cannot create recovery.img: read-only file system

Could someone help me out please? :)
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Niiice :D

As for the app drawer, it feels even faster. Dunno, but then again, we're on different devices...
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
What on earth are you trying to accomplish???

I'll tell you... You are trying to open a .img file in text mode, and copy that TEXT into another .img file on /system partition. Why?!

Regarding your question, type "mount" in terminal, and you will see that /system is mounted as read-only. An easy way to change that, is to do this:

mount -o rw,remount /system

Do not do the copy with cat

! Use cp instead. But now I'm curious, what are you trying to accomplish really?

EDIT: I forgot... you have no troubles gaining root, since "su" worked, and you saw a nice little "#". :)
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
This thread is a mooovin...

On another sunny note, my blutooth is still a fail.

I'm not sure what step to take next, no data is transfered, and with no sings of anything else wrong I am lost.

I can connect to other phones and send the files, but even a 15mb transfer takes 3 seconds to tell me everythings ok and nothing received on the other end. I'm lost please guide!
[G1 Android Development] B/B:
I'm doing this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua8ljJAnTpc

Start at the 40 seconds into it and you'll see what I'm trying to do. Obviously you have forgotten more than I will ever know about this. I highly appreciate the help. Thank you

I had CM 4.1999 on til this last update and all Hll broke lose and locked on the TMO startup and I couldn't do a recover...nothing. So I started alll over with DREAIMG R29 aka unroot.
[G1 Android Development] niuchl:
The music app works fine now, after clearing the app data
[G1 Android Development] pypen:
Well, i am still at 4.2.3.1 and i am having two weird problems:

1. (not that important) I cannot get the rotation animation running.

2. Sometimes, when someone calls, the phone starts to vibrate (in the normal pattern), but the phone hangs. I cannot unlock, restart or anything. I have to remove the battery, then the vibration stops, the phone shuts off and afterward everything works normally. Like i said, it does not happen always. Happened with 4.2 the first time (after wipe).

Anyone any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
the vibrate issue is known. just do a 3 finger salute to reboot. no need to pull battery. happened to me twice sine being on 4.2.4, and has happened on the most previous recent build(s) as well.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Sheesh.. you just won't give up :D

Sorry friend, can't help you, as I am having problems with Bluetooth too. I feel really stupid.. I tried sending something between two identical Magics, and the application tells me to "Enable file transfer service" WTF?! I don't see any such option! I thought the moment you turn on the BT, the service gets started... :(

No luck whatsoever... I think it's the module that's broken.. I'd actually like to hear from somebody who has it working.

@B/B: I haven't forgotten anything ;)
[G1 Android Development] ScotterMonkey:
Desired feature

I would love to see the gallery work more like the MacCultPhone's photo viewer, i.e.:

(1) swipe to move to prev/next image

(2) pinch/zoom (like yay i see now in the 4.2.4 browser!)
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Wait, you are the guy with Audio module problems..? How did that work out?

Did you try downloading again? You *have to* check your MD5sum somehow before flashing... then get back here
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
This is a clue:

W/zipro ( 196): Size mismatch on inflated file (818773 vs 821320)
W/zipro ( 196): Size mismatch on inflated file (818773 vs 821320)

Re-download, and check md5sum against what cyanogen posted in the OP. They have to match, obviously...
[G1 Android Development] doalittledanse:
This is major nitpicking and it doesn't really matter but on 4.2.4 you can see a few pixels of the app drawer when its closed when in landscape on the home screen
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=645

Star it, and let's hope for the fix.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
ok i must admit, 4.2.4 is a lil laggy compared to 4.2.3.1.... and i have it overclocked to 528 -384. idk what's goin on really. anyone confirm?
[G1 Android Development] skesseks:
Try touching upper right corner of the browser. This should open the address bar.

Also try th upper left, this goes to you home page (I think) and a second touch there will close the browser.

[G1 Android Development] xtony12:
haha yeah i got it to work i just flashed a hero rom then flashed 1.6 and cyan 2.2 and bam it went thru but then i hit a brick wall when i tried to flash 4.2.3.1 and the phone got stuck in the g1 screen. i tried to restore my backup but i hit create backup instead and i somehow lost my recovery so i had no recovery on my phone but i fixed all that and came back to 4.2.2 with hopes of upgrading :cool:

im n

ot sure i know how to check my md5sum but ill see if i can look it up
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
ADB connection problems

After installing 4.2.4 and setting up usb tethering I am no longer able to connect my phone to the PC via adb even when I stop usb tethering. My phone also does not give me the option any more to connect to the computer as a usb mass storage device. I installed HTC sync to get tethering working and since updating the drivers I lost all adb ability. Is it possible to use both, usb tethering and adb?
[G1 Android Development] M3NYFAC3Z:
i can confirm that this one is slowww wow....i might actually have to go back

:(
[G1 Android Development] skrki:

Don't know why so many are saying its slow...fast for me. Also loving those eclair icons.
[G1 Android Development] masterrn:
I can't seem to find instructions on setting up nav. On this rom, can someone help?
[G1 Android Development] dead2hill:
Quite right, this is quite bothersome, and ur right I have yet to see complaints about this. It is quite a big deal as I trade stuff with my buds @ work often and this henders it. Now I do have one thought, it worked before I switched to 4.2.4, I used bluetooth file transfer and everything went fine. I'm not sure if it was before or after, but I updated navMaps while in 4.2.3.1 then upgraded to 4.2.4 and bluetooth was a fail with both apps.

Any other thoughts? At all?

Also haptic feed back still does not work with dialpad??!?

Argh
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:

not sure what changed.. I'll keep an eye on it.
[G1 Android Development] ScotterMonkey:
4.2.4 seems really fast

Wow. Most things do seem snappier.

Thanks, Cyanogen!
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
ok what? my bad, i didnt understand that md5sum?? and how do i make em match? ... as far as redownloading.. i tried that, please be a little more specific? and its onnly doing it on this phone... no other phone ever had this problem... every other rom works fine.

#include note <std_disclaimer.h>
/*

it helps...
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Yeah, it's definitely a bug but I may have found the culprit. I'm sure maybe not everyone uses this app but maybe there's something in it that affects other programs as well. The rebooting was getting quite annoying and so I was trying to figure out what was causing it. I use the app WallSwitch, which automatically cycles your wallpapers for you. I noticed everytime it rebooted, I had a new wallpaper. So I said let me see if the time of reboot coincided with my wallpaper switching. It did. I was using the Auto Switch feature of the app and it lined up exactly. Whenever the wallpaper was scheduled to change, my phone rebooted. So I uninstalled the app at about 6:30 pm eastern and so far I haven't had one reboot. It's now 11:40 pm. Before uninstall I was rebooting one a half hour schedule (my auto switch schedule). Haven't reinstalled it yet, but I will after a few more hours of testing and then report the results.

Thanks for the information. Seemed to have located the root of my problem so I am going to wait before wiping and reflashing.
[G1 Android Development] embracelb:
sometimes, when an app can't quite process due to an "error" it'll force close, if it can't force close it'll freeze then reboot. It's happened to me once using the Bluetooth function but everything else works fine. So i doubt its your wallpaper app.
[G1 Android Development] skesseks:
CheckSums: know them, love them

I know that this has been said before, but....:rolleyes:

Please get a checksum checking program and verify your rom downloads before flashing.:cool:

Cyanogen provides the md5sum for each rom. Checking against this reduces wasted time for you and everyone when the only problem with a misbehaving phone is a bad download. (I am not saying that bad downloads are the only cause of problems, but it is easily avoided).

I always check the download twice. Once after downloading to my computer and once again after copying it to my sdcard.

I have not had any major problems with Cyanogen's roms when following this procedure.

</soapbox>
