Is anyone having issues during a phone call?, because every time I'm talking to someone for a while I get brief hiccups where the other person can't hear me for like 5 seconds then it goes away but comes back again later. This is really annoying. I tried wiping everything and freshly installed 4.2.9.1 but it still happens...any suggestions, thanks.

ConnectBot and AndroidVNC

I use SSH tunneling and VNC to remote back home. After flashing to 4.2.9.1, I noticed my SSH connection on ConnectBot drops when I switch to AndroidVNC trying to authenticate. Then when I switch back to ConnectBot, it showed it's disconnected... everytime. It's also true if I use the browser too... it will drop the SSH connection. Has anyone seen this? Thanks.

Gmail app works fine for me. Upgraded from 4.2.8.1 WITHOUT wipe. Hardware is T-mobile MyTouch 3G. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] delyorik:
Hrm... so a few days ago, I put 4.2.8.1 on my myTouch (T-Mobile/Google branded) without a wipe. Now, I have no idea whether or not I actually have root access (I didn't do anything with "goldcard", whatever that is), so I'm wondering how I can figure that out.

Also, I tried using CM Updater to put 4.2.9.1 on my phone this morning, but it seemed to freeze on the AndrOid screen. I flipped out for a sec before remembering that I'd used the Nandroid backup (before and after the update), so I just removed all the backups from my sd card except the post-9.1 and got my phone working again, but I wanted to know if I was missing something in trying to update to 9.1.

Yes, I'm a n00b at this (only had my phone for 2 months, and have only tried goofing off with it for the past 2 weeks or so), so I'm probably missing something obvious.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

when your phone is on, go into terminal emulator and type SU

if a box appears asking yourpermision to allow root access pops up, you click allow, then if a # sign shows up you have confirmed you have root.

Anybody else have an issue with 4.2.9.1 loosing data connection and then having to reboot to get it back?
[G1 Android Development] Djhg2000:
I can't seem to reproduce this:

Tell ConnectBot to connect to my laptop
Enable port forward of Transmission web interface
Open browser (google.com)
Open Transdroid and connect to web interface
Repeat with Torrent-Fu
Open browser again, same url
Check if ConnectBot is connected

When checking ConnectBot in the last step, it was connected.

Although I did run 'free' in the local shell and noticed it was using ~33 MB swap, perhaps it runs out of RAM for you and simply kills ConnectBot?

I've noticed a HUGE speedup since I started using swap, and I can run more apps too, so maybe this is the solution?

Just be aware swap WILL eventually break your SD card, so use a separate partition at the end of the SD card, that way just a fixed area will break.

Edit:

Just tested the music app, and swap seems to get around that issue too (using ~38 MB swap now).

My conclusion is that it would seem the phone runs out of RAM, can't find anywhere else to put background tasks and kills some of them to avoid a crash.

So, this isn't a bug, it's a feature :D

What makes CM eat so much RAM anyways?
[G1 Android Development] chunkxzor:

[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
so after having incredible trouble and frustration trying to partition my sdcard for the better part of the past weekend, i have compcache enabled (definitely running, i checked using 'free' in terminal emulator) and now i have droidswap enabled (created swap, said its ok)....the question is, am i getting the benefit of apps2sd without partitioning or is this something different...i am not a linux guy, but i'm trying, man
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
no.

Swap is virtual memory, what windows calls a pagefile. In typical Linux installations on computers, you use a small hard drive partition instead of a file on a formatted partition. What 'droidswap' is doing is using a file on your fat32 sdcard partition, which isn't as good as having a dedicated swap partition, but it gives you the extra virtual memory.

Compcache is using part of your RAM as compressed swap.

Neither of these things affect the partitioning of your sdcard, and therefore cannot make you magically have apps on your sdcard.

Yes. I could not receive calls from certain numbers, my wife's was one of them. The calls would just get rejected and the phone would not ring or leave an entry in the call log. Txt messages did not come through either and I had a notification in the tool bar "low on space" or something like that. This was after I flashed 4.2.9.1 and initially thought it was working. I went back to 4.2.7.1 and everything started working again and no more low space notification.

If you're in Canada there is no official access to paid apps yet. However, if you download Market Enabler (http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/) you can set it to fake being in one of the paid app countries. Just try to avoid using the T-Mobile fake as your phone might download the new T-Mo specific Market app which can cause problems. I find using 02-de works best.

Dalvik Cache

I'm sure you get asked this a bit, but I'm stumped. I was given instructions to remove Dalvik-Cache by doing:

su
cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
rm *

(via terminal)

This didn't work so well. I went to the location and in place of the dalvik-cache folder there's a file called "placeholder".

Question: where is the cache hiding? And does it even exist if apps2sd is not being utilized?

Thank you in advance!

Cyanogen wiki for the win: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Troubleshooting

The cache, for anyone who might be looking, is actually under

/data/dalvik-cache

Android Kernel for ARM MACH - android-msm-2.6.32-test1

Includes:

BFS 312 (hopefully since it's on .32 it will be mucho stable)

(no 10mb hack)

Uses Deadline I/O Scheduler

Now... here's the testing part to see if these included well

USB Tether (now, it may include the one in Settings.apk for CM, but if not try installing this inf file for USB Gadget Kernel for Windows XP (this is stable and not harmful) http://github.com/wesgarner/wg-kernel/blob/master/Documentation/usb/linux.inf

WiFi Tether

Overall speed, bootup, etc

If any dev's out there have any input on changes to be made, send them my way

I'm not sure if this is a ROM error...

I turned off the pattern security, then decided I wanted it back, so I put a different code and forgot what it was.. so I clicked "forgot pattern" and led me to enter my email/password and it would say it's wrong no matter how many times and how correct I knew it was. It would unlocked when someone texted me. I flashed it again and the same thing happened so I did a wipe and have left my security off since...

anyone post the link to the thread with the advanced launcher compatible with cyan roms .... been searching past half hour and eyes getting tired ..thanks
[G1 Android Development] zer0day:
Cyanogen, it seems like a really bad idea to use new Eclair apis in this rom. Apps reading the version info and working to be compatible with previous versions will be broken. I've seen this behaviour in my own app with the new service api in 4.2.9.1, and also with K9 and the Music app. Personally, I would favour either incrementing the version info to match Eclair or reverting the addition of the new apis.

Just my 2 cents.

That makes no sense friend. How does it 'not recognize' the EXT partition? Have you tried df command:

# df

/sdcard: 6675408K total, 6621720K used, 53688K available (block size 4096)

Or maybe the EXT was just not mounted? Mounting happens early during the boot process, so you might want to watch the logcat as your phone is booting and see if you notice errors during mounting of /system/sd. See the output of 'mount' command:

# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (ro)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=600)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
tmpfs on /sqlite_stmt_journals type tmpfs (rw,size=4096k)
none on /dev/cpuctl type cgroup (rw,cpu)
/dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system type yaffs2 (ro)
/dev/block/loop0 on /system/modules type squashfs (ro)
/dev/block/loop1 on /system/xbin type squashfs (ro)
/dev/block/mtdblock5 on /data type yaffs2 (rw,nodev)
/dev/block/mtdblock4 on /cache type yaffs2 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /data/dalvik-cache type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered)
/dev/block//vold/179:1 on /sdcard type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0711,dmask=0700,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro)

Your experience would be a malfunction surely.. If you get this every time you flash, then you might wanna consider wiping, re-downloading and re-flashing. Sorry I can't think of an easier solution :(

I've attached screenshots of my phone and my wife's phone and as you can see, same processes take more RAM on my phone than at hers.

(I had to use the camera to take screenshot of my wife's phone. For some reason, adb couldn't see that phone, even though USB debugging's turned on).

All programs are the same versions, checked on the Market before taking the screenshots.

Phone app - 12.6Mb vs 16.2Mb. (But it's not really the same version of course).

Battery Widget (com.geekyouup.android.widget) - 10.6Mb vs 14.1Mb

Astrid - 10.0Mb vs 15.2Mb

Task Manager itself - 16.2Mb vs 20.3Mb

system_server - 25.3Mb vs 33.5Mb (but might not be the same versions due to ROM differences)

I'd like to know what causes this, and if really any more memory is used by processes or if it's all shared memory.

I'm also very curious to know if the 'Precise GC' change that went in recently could be the cause for this.

Kind Regards,

I know Cyanogen's build does not automatically start swap, but does it disable if it is enabled?

I recently downloaded swapper and everything worked fine. Typed 'free' in terminal and it showed up ~96Mb. But once I rebooted my phone, swap was apparently disabled. Typed in 'free' again in terminal and it read 0 all across.

In the swapper app itself, I already went in the settings and applied the startup at boot, so why is it not starting up? Any thoughts?

Cyanogen says Gmail sync is fixed in the upcoming release! Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=879#c25

The issue raised here is (likely) a consequence of the facts you mention... one of the more obvious consequences. The important thing is that Cyanogen claims it is fixed for the next version. Let's keep fingers crossed! :D

On a side note, kudos Steve, on the issues with "Gmail not syncing" and "Crash on receiving call"!!!!
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Maybe the app is faulty (with respect to these bits of Eclair Cyanogen is putting in). You can see this comment which depicts the current situation with the ROM and 3rd party apps.

But AFAIK, CM does not disable swap when it's on already.

I can suggest two things:

1. Download GScript and make a script that switches on your swap partition: swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (check 'Needs SU').

2. Use a userinit.sh placed in /system/sd

In my opinion first is better. When you boot your phone, just click on the shortcut to switch it on (yeh, you can place gscript shortcuts on Home :))

[G1 Android Development] kernelzilla:
Is anyone else experiencing weirdness with folders on their homescreen? I have 4 folders, the first one named "Phone" and after a while, it becomes un-openable. Only that one folder, and only rebooting the phone fixes it.. I first noticed it in 4.2.8. And of course, I've tried wiping, clearing ext and starting from scratch but the behavior is still there.

I think a lot of these changes should have been made in an experimental branch, 4.2.9.1 introduces more bugs than it fixes!

As I don't have twitter, I answer Cyanogen's question about IM:

Cyanogen: "Does anyone actually use the T-Mobile IM app?"

Cyanogen: "The reason I ask is because we can save about 10mb of system memory, plus keep you signed into GTalk by ditching it."

If you can save 10 MB of memory, I would definitely take out IM. It is important to keep the roms as light as possible from the start. The people who want to use IM can install it later :) Well, at least this is my opinion ;)
[G1 Android Development] KratosAurion:
I would use it if it actually worked. It never worked for me. Signing into MSN Messenger always gives some sort of network error, which is why I use eBuddy instead for MSN. So as far as I'm concerned, I see that it's better to remove it, if it's going to improve the ROM.

Some screen touch problems with 4.2.9.1

I'm having some problems with screen interactions with 4.2.9.1. For instance, when I'm in a call, I can't bring up the dialpad using the onscreen tab, and if I bring up the dialpad with the hardware menu button, I can't actually press any of the numbers. This is only in-call; I can dial with the dialpad before that.
