Can't call specific contact

Hi-

My wife and I are both running G1s, both with CyanongenMod-4.2.8.1.

Since I've upgraded both phones, I haven't been able to call her phone from mine. When I dial her number, it appears to connect for a second, then just ends - it never rings on her end. She can call my phone without any problems.

I had upgraded my phone to 4.2.9.1, but rolled back (via nandroid) to 4.2.8.1 when I started to experience this problem, but it didn't resolve it.

Not sure where the issue lies -- her phone or mine. Before I start rolling back her ROM, I wanted to see if anyone has experienced this issue. couldn't find anything on this thread.

Thanks in advance.

switch your phone to 2g mode and see if that resolved the issues - if it does it's either the 3g on the phone itself or with the provider's network
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Try this?

[G1 Android Development] monki-magic:
Mate, try swapping the SIM cards, which should prove if a provider issue or phone issue.

can anyone help me with camera fcs?

[G1 Android Development] nipper68:
Thanks. We don't live in a 3G coverage area, so I'm not sure if it could be the network, but I'll try to change both to "Use only 2G networks".
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
The log you posted can not be opened, so if you don't mind (and want help) post your log again. Do a "logcat -c" before you open the camera please. Then open it, FC, and do "logcat -df /sdcard/cam_fc_log.txt".

gotta agree 4.2.5 was perfect, not a single crash and SOOO fast even when pressing home from within apps and without "home in memory" latest is not bad but occasional bugs and not as fast.
[G1 Android Development] zoth:
Same thing happened with me, I check her phone and she, by mistake added to me to her blacklist. I sure hope it was a mistake ;-)
[G1 Android Development] :
Also edit contact and see if the option at the bottom 'Incoming calls - Send calls directly to voicemail'

I have hit that a few times whilst choosing a contacts ringtone.
[G1 Android Development] tnleeuw:
Me too.

Have to keep the Music app active, otherwise the music just cuts out after a few seconds. Never had that problem before :-( Not with any other CM version.

It looks like severe low-memory conditions and for some reason the Music app is being picked on to die, even though Task Manager shows other process still running too which haven't been used for quite a while.

See logfile in attachment.

--Tim
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Please...Don't flatter yourself. Successfully rooting your phone, then flashing a ROM or two does not automatically make you immune to forgetting to flip a switch.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Ditto on the 'severe memory issues'..

If I don't have the swap partition on, I just look at logcat and see PIDs dieing all over the place.. Like nothing sticks into the memory.

I notice that apps which require less memory might not cause the Music to die.

However, opening the Browser or Gallery, makes the Music stop playing after a few seconds.

The weird thing is, Advanced Task killer still shows the Music app is active. More over, doing "adb shell ps" shows that PID is active, so the app is really still alive... Just stops playing...

I'm looking at the log now, and seeing all kinds of interesting things, but I'll have to cut it down to relevant bits, and then update this post. Follow-up's coming in a while...

G1 screen touch problems

Has anyone else been experiencing screen not responding to touch. Like the app launcher slider sometimes I have to do it 3 times for it to come up :mad:. Sometimes it will come halfway up and start bouncing up and down, I hit end to turn screen off, then once I hit menu to bring screen back up it is usually fine. Just womdering if I am the only one. I thought it could be the screen going bad but it was working fine until about 4.2.6. Any help would be appreciated. :confused:

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
i do not have any issues with MMS. been running 4.2.9.1 since its release.

HOWEVER i do have a different issue that i've had since 4.2.8:

if i am listening to the native music app, and try to go home, then click the native messages app, about 80% of the time the music app will stop playing.

this happening to anyone else?
[G1 Android Development] hallokitty:
Just to say the random music bug is still in 4.2.9.1. I just got out of my car, unplugged the charger, and bam, music started playing, right from the lock screen. Unlocked the phone, went to the music player, and like before, it wasn't aware it was playing music, it was idle, paused. You'd have to play, then pause again to stop it playing.

Also, this version of Cyanogen doesn't let programs change the brightness of the screen, it seems. No flashlight app brightens the screen anymore (upgraded from 4.2.6 where it worked fine). (HTC Magic 32B)

Not to slate Cyanogen, though! Keep up the good work

/Yet another edit/: Randomly started playing music again just now, on charge, locked, not touched for at least 30 minutes. No notifications at all that would trigger it.

[G1 Android Development] erickrios:
I'm having the same problem, I don't know exactly when it started to happen because before I updated to 4.2.9.1 my Internal Phone Storage would be in the high 80's, then I noticed that after the update it went down to the 10's, I reformated my sd card as follows (using amon ra's recovery): 7gb fat/500mb ext3/32 swap

So I wiped the phone and did an install from scratch, I started out with about 87mb, but after I started installing apps I'm at 71mb

I'm scratching my head because it was working fine before, now I have no idea how to get apps2sd back

please help!

[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
wipe phone. reformat ext/fat partitions. flash 4.2.9.1. that should fix it.
[G1 Android Development] _zygo_:
Skater says it isn't, but I haven't seen any XDA reports of the issue since the release of 4.2.9, and there aren't any new tracker entries since the release. If you had the issue, or are still experiencing it, upgrade and let us know how it works for you.
[G1 Android Development] Kholdstare79:
Well, I wonder what could be the problem then? It kind of bothering me as of lately that i can't receive picture no more now because of this MMS bug.

Reverted back to 4.2.8.1

I'm using an ADP1.

Upgrade to 4.2.9.1 when it came out and used it all weekend. Reverted back to 4.2.8.1.

Why? I missed multiple SMS messages. Plus 4.2.9.1 is a lot slower than any previous release. The phone continued to lock up and become un responsive. The screen became a waiting game. 15 to 30 second to refresh to see the Home Screen after pushing the Home button while in an app.

I was also getting a lot more Force Close / Wait messages too. Just passing the info on ( I did try to search this forum post for similar users with this issue but 500+pages of comments is very frustrating .)
[G1 Android Development] pachecolljk:
I was using 4.2.5 and I updated to 4.2.9.1 and all my programs dissapeared, after I did a fix_permissions in the console they re-appeared but most of the stuff was broken so I had to reinstall every app. I had lots of "insufficient space" errors although the storage page shows 60mb of ROM, 2gb for FAT32 and 800mb for EXT3.

What is the way to upgrade from one version to another? The wiki says that if you're upgrading from 4.1.9999999999999999 you can just apply the 4.X.X update right ontop and everything should be peachy. Do I have to apply every subsequent update? 4.2.4 -> 4.2.5 -> 4.2.6 and so on? Or can I skip them and go all the way to the latest one?

Here's what I've been doing step by step:

1. Put the 4.2.9 update .zip on SD card.

2. Boot into the recovery mode.

3. Choose apply from any zip and choose the 4.2.9 update.

4. Without rebooting, doing "fix_permissions" in the console.

5. Rebooting phone.

6. ?????

7. Profit

This has NEVER worked, am I doing something wrong?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Looking at that, there's something physically wrong with the driver files (I think you realized that too). I can only tell you to try and download the files again (both dream image and the CM update), check the md5sum of both and flash them again.

Dream images are here:

You might want to try this with different dream images too, it seems there are a few different ones around. I believe you can get them from that post^. Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] ilostchild:
You can try to do a wipe then flash 1.6adp then latest cyan rom
[G1 Android Development] mttmllns:
I experienced the same. I wouldn't get notifications of the messages coming in, so I had to manually sit in the Messaging application and refresh it every now and then. Some would notify, others wouldn't. I could be mistaken, but I think this also occurred once or twice near the end of using 4.2.8.1, so I decided to go back to 4.2.7.1. This took care of my Gmail syncing issues too and seems to have made the Market act up less with downloads. I also love my Quick Settings and ExFlashlight and couldn't deal with not being able to quickly change my brightness.

I probably could solve some of these issues by wiping and going from there...but man wiping sounds like a PAIN. Until I'm positive ALL my apps can be recovered, all their associations w/ the market are maintained so I can receive update notifications, and all their settings are retained, and all this in one easy app, I'm gonna hold off. While I know some of these things can be done with alright results, and I've heard recommendations of Backup for Root Users, My Backup Pro, etc., it still seems like something that doesn't work 100% of the time and after the initial wipe to get to CM I'm going to do my best to not wipe.

[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
You should be banned. While I understand how redundant questions can become irritating, it is people like you who make these forums unbearable.

I'm sorry to inform you, these forums do not serve the sole purpose of allowing developers to send out press releases regarding their ROMs/applications. It is also a support forum, for those who need support. Some people do not know how much as you. The font size you chose is a clear indication you're nothing more than a troll.

If you want to help, write a FAQs. When people ask "stupid questions", link them the FAQs--others will too, I bet.

Stop being an ugly community member.

[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Now that was descriptive and will really help fix your problem. The widget works fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] kerauno:
First you need to always include info about your phone when you post to help identify if it is phone specific.

Also what type of files are you trying to play. I'm using "ogg" type files and not experiencing any problems.
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
Actually Joel, you have it ass backwards. The Q&A forum is the support forum. He may have been trolling, but the problem that he's addressing is the one that had cyanogen on the verge of LEAVING XDA no more than two days ago.

He's absolutely correct. People need to either search or take problems to the Q&A forum. Threads like this shouldnt be bogged down with problem posts, but should be used for bug reporting. The difference between the two? Saying "help, i'm stuck at the G1 screen" and "everything is force closing on me" are not bug reports. Things like "I've found an error in X part of the code, and heres the logcat to go with it" is a bug report and does belong here.

Unfortunately, people cant seem to comprehend the difference, so they keep clogging the thread with useless garbage that needs to be addressed in the Q&A forum to the extent that the freaking developer is overwhelmed by the magnitude of it. For one, I dont blame him. If I had to sift through 80 pages of crap to find the few meaningful bug reports that would aid my development, i'd be pulling my god damn hair out. We're just lucky that cyanogen has decided to stick around here for OUR convenience.
[G1 Android Development] pachecolljk:

A temporary fix to the broken SMS notifications would be to install "SMS Popup", which I'd recommend anyway...

Somewhat off-topic:

How do I set up swap without an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition?

I can't seem to automatically run userinit.sh from the fat32 partition.

Right now ConnectBot does it for me, but I want to do this the "right" way...

Edit:

@bfguitar

I'm not exactly a mac expert, in fact I've barely even tried it, but if it's similar enough to UNIX or GNU/Linux, you might need to use chmod ('chmod 0755 fastboot-mac' or similar?).

Anybody having trouble with widgets updating after a power off/reboot?

This only happens in version 4.2.9.1 Have gone back to 4.2.8.1 for now. Tried all the usual fixes: wiping, reflashing, fix_permissions, repair EXT partitions, reinstalling widgets... all failed. Have reflashed 5 times now. 4.2.8.1 works fine as far as widget updating after boot goes. And yes, my task manager excludes the widgets from closing and it doesn't run at boot up anyways. Have also tried switching between home and advanced launcher as default and home staying alive in memory with the same results. Have struggled with this ALL weekend, lol! Any one else experienced this?
[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
One of the market apps lets you use swap with a script on the sd card without a partition. Can't remember the name though. Sorry...

Oh yeah, its called swapper or a newer one is droidswap
[G1 Android Development] Djhg2000:
Thanks, but those only takes care of the swap (neat little tools you've found though!).

Edit:

The problem is autorun of userinit.sh on FAT32, maybe a symlink to /sdcard/userinit.sh from /system/sd/userinit.sh ?

I know FAT32 can't handle UNIX permissions properly, but in kernel 2.6.27 an experimental feature was introduced that allowed different permissions on the source and destination when using mount to bind directories/files.

I tried this:

touch /system/sd/userinit.sh
mount --bind -o umask=7022,fmask=7022,dmask=7011 /sdcard/userinit.sh /system/sd/userinit.sh

through an adb shell (because it would have taken forever in ConnectBot :D ) but it seems the feature isn't enabled (permissions of userinit.sh stays 044) in 4.2.9.1?
