hi

for 4.2.7.1 is there anyway to listen and let music play in background while i explore the home screen?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
erm, open music, press play, press home buton, explore?

OR: put a music widget (a standard part of android) on one of the home screens.
[G1 Android Development] xdakix:
ive tried it doesnt work as soon as i press home button music cuts.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
Well, if the image in your sig is your home screen, I think I have about 3 guesses why.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Cool, I'll use Estrongs. One of my other favorite FM's so no problem there. Did I have the steps correct though? TIA.
[G1 Android Development] the_alien:
Ah thanks.

Will post a log if it happens again.
[G1 Android Development] NeoBlade:
Hi All, its been a long time since I've posted here since I haven't had many issues. I'm not totally sure if this has been mentioned before but does the Silent mode work for you guys? I had my phone on silent while at the cinema but when I had phone calls the ringtone was still going off! Could anyone give it a quick test please when they have a few moments? Many thanks.

Going back

I'm going back to 4.2.6 just to check and see if i'm having the same problems.

I got reboots, music starting up on its own and then frezzing up when I try to stop the music, and market apps taking forever to download.

I have cleared davilk, fix permissions, fix apk and other things and I still was having major problems with 4.2.7.1.

I will report back if there is a difference with 4.2.6
[G1 Android Development] Robert916:
Every time i check there is at least 2 updates for this. Good stuff, Thxs Cyanogen.

gmail not syncing

I have been on 4.2.7.1 for a few days now and my gmail does not seem to be working on the regular. I have cleared the storage out a few times and it works after that for a few hours, but then always stops syncing.

Is there any other fix or something I may be missing? I did a full wipe of all cache and everything before install. All else is good and everything works great, except for the sync...
[G1 Android Development] juniorjj:
I'm having a problem with the brightness control, through the standard slider and the power control widget.

Sometimes it works as intended. Other times the brightness doesn't match the slider or the power control widget and flickers as you adjust the brightness. The brightness syncs up with the position of the slider/power control if I sleep the screen. Although instead of fading to black like normal it flickers as it goes to sleep.

I've tried factory resetting, wiping ext sd, repairing the ext filesystems, fixing permissions and reflashing the ota + latest cyanogen with no improvement.

Not sure if other folk are experiencing this.

FYI, I just performed a Google Maps update from the Market, and trying to run Maps gave me a force close. I had to uninstall/reinstall Maps before it was working again. Not sure what happened there, but it all looks ok now.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
FEI, (E standing for 'Everyone') we aren't interested - this isn't CM related.

FYI (just cos here we aren't interested):

P.S. Obviously, I have the need (and obligation, and apparently it is necessary) to repeat this every 20-30 posts. Oh well... I don't mind! :D

(Sometimes) Phone goes silent, end call button doesn't work.

Sometimes (every 2-3 days) when I'm talking on the phone (G1), the phone suddenly goes silent, but it shows I'm still on call. After that no matter what I do, I can't terminate the call. Not with the end call/power button, not by clicking menu and selecting End Call. Can't even put the call on hold and initiate another call. It's like the phone part of it just hangs. I can do other things (like play games) though. Can't even turn off the phone using power button. The only solution is to remove and re-insert the battery.

Any help would be great. I have searched for this in the forums but can't find any post as this exact problem. Also, this has been happening since about 4.2 (currently I'm on 4.2.7.1), so I am inclined to believe it's a bug in the ROM. But feel free to move this post to another section if this is the wrong place.

Some of the steps I have taken to try and correct this: When upgrading to 4.2.7.1, I reformatted the SD card, didn't change any settings from the cyanogen defaults and installed only 3 apps: Pandora, weather channel and Jewels, to see if a setting or app were the culprits. But so far no luck.
[G1 Android Development] theartar:
Check this: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=646
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
It would be great if you could capture a log next time it happens. Phone (I mean phone app) hangs are a known issue, though they usually manifest through an automatic reboot. Yours would be the somewhat different than everyone else's. Anyhow, check this out, this is the common scenario:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=647

Same advice for you, as for anyone else having problems with system applications - try flashing this kernel please.
[G1 Android Development] velazcod:
I tried searching around and didn't find anything, so, excuse me in advance if this has been reported or discussed before.

OK, so i upgraded to 4.2.7.1 from 4.2.6.. the phone is not reading the audio resources files from the sdcard, not even if i move the files to system/media, wth could be going on here?

im just about to wipe and start from scratch, just wanted to know if there was a quick fix for this, ive thought of a few things and nothing.

EDIT: meh, fixed, after the 4th-5th reboot, files in /system/media showed up in the ringtone pickers

Market downloading problems? No more!

Ok, I know the title sounds really optimistic, but this isn't a real fix. This isn't something Cyanogen will ever fix, either. This isn't something that we WANT TO fix because it's Google's problem, and more experienced users are probably aware of this workaround. Nevertheless, it works, and I'm happy! BTW, if you want to flame me for discussing Google stuff, now would be the right time to stop reading and hit that 'Quote' button.

So, I and a couple of others have had this problem where Market just wouldn't start downloading, or would start downloading on reboot, or would start downloading randomly whenever it feels like it. So, all this together started ringing some bells eventually...

I remembered reading this article a while back on Google's service framework, and how all Google apps share the login service (which is great and all, blah blah), but there is a catch there. The catch is, your Market uses GTalk service to communicate and pass your login credentials whenever you try to download an application from the Market. Now, when GTalk isn't signed in, Market won't start your download! It isn't supposed to be like this of course... when you start the Market, GTalk service is expected to start as well. However, sometimes it just doesn't.

And now the bells:

1. You use some sort of task manager? Great, but you probably always kill GTalk when you don't need it.

2. You reboot your phone, and GTalk is started again. If you (or I) start to download something at that moment, it works!

3. Notice how some system apps just start up by themselves? After using my phone for several hours, without killing background tasks, I noticed GTalk being up and running again. Random startups of Market downloads?? This is the cause!

I've performed a little test. I've just logged in into GTalk before going into Market to download stuff, and surprise surprise, it worked flawlessly!

So there it is.... the source of all the trouble.... Google....! :mad:

Haha!

P.S. I'm wondering if this is a real fix (for more than one person, that is me), so you guys with similar problems, try this one out please!

P.S.S. This could easily make it's way as an informative article in the CM Wiki... Do you think it would be appropriate/useful? After all, we are all forced to flash the ADP/Dream images, so we are stuck with this malfunction...
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
I have totally started over with 4.2.7.1 fresh, re installed all my apps and so far no reboots, and no draining battery. It must have been some app that the update did not agree with , its been all day still at 90% battery. I dont know what the problem was but its all clear!

I just don't think some of the 3rd party apps are designed well
[G1 Android Development] masr1979:
@skrki

Sounds about right, I'm one of those who loves to kill gtalkservice and IM and as expected run into problems when I do so. I've been trying to get rid of them, since it seems to take up 8MB+ of memory. I wish there was an alternate way to access the market without needing the rest of the mandatory google crap, I like their optional apps, but I really hate all those services that are running in the background.

Maybe we should start another thread and list the apps each of us is running (I don't want to clutter this thread with this topic more than it needs to be). I'm experiencing some more severe battery drain, where my phone would last me from 7am 'til 5pm with about 15% battery remaining, I'm getting low charge warnings by 12pm now.

hey guys, i have an issue with my g1. few days ago every time i am on an app and i press the home button, i takes 3 to 6 seconds to load my home screen. when i first flashed this rom, i did not had this problem. its getting annoying so please i need help.

Try opening the Spare Parts app, and see if "home in memory" is checked (it's the option all the way on the bottom). If it's checked, try unchecking it, if it's unchecked, try checking it.

having problems

Hellpp... lol

Ok I updated my spl to 1.33.2005 and Amons recovery image to his most recent. Wiped everything. Applied updated Cyanogen 4.2.7.1 to my sd card and applied. Now I am having problems booting up. It goes to the mytouch screen then to black then to mytouch screen then black.

I used Dwangs rom with no issues then

I was able to load CM 4.2.3 with no problems.

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I have a shell script that removes gmail completely from your phone. They you flash the HTC build then the latest CM build and it starts working again. I tested it on my friends phone because he had this issue.

#!/bin/bash
mount -o remount,rw /system/
rm /system/sd/app/*Gmail*
rm /system/sd/app/*gmail*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*Gmail*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*gmail*
rm /system/app/*Gmail*
rm /system/app/*gmail*
rm /data/app/*Gmail*
rm /data/app/*gmail*
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*Gmail*
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*gmail*

put this into a notepad, save it as removegmail.sh, place it on your sdcard and run it from terminal.

I didn't write this code, I just renamed a couple of things so credit to the guy who wrote it a couple of pages back.

This version is unstable and always restart on my G1. especially, when i run some the application.

Please fix it.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] PsychoI3oy:
So many responses in my head.

response one: it's open source, you fix it.

response two: without logs (e.g. logcat, last_kmsg), nobody can diagnose your issues.

response 3: it works fine for me, you must be doing it wrong

response 4: try the boot-new.img from http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/testing/ and see if that helps.

response five: @$&#&^*#&@%^%$ @%$^@$%^@%$ing n00bs.

pick one.

Are you flashing HTC Donut base before flashing the CM, or are you flashing this on top of Dwang's?

See this:

Download the base of your choice:

Or find alternative download links (also in this thread) if you don't like RS.

Good idea, I've just checked it out. Would be good to link it to the Main page.

hi,

When trying to dial a number or use a number from contacts it just spouts this message

The process android.process acore has stopped unexpectedly.

Im using 4.2.7.1 any help appreciated

Andy
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
I have had this happen on 4 different phones. I belive its the download throught he recovery. the way I fixed it everytime is by getting the 4.2.7.1 file from here and flashing it through recovry. All worked fine.

My problem was that it wasnt fully downloading the update before it would flash it. It would get a few kilobytes into it, say it downloaded, reboot, say its flashing then stick at the G1 screen.

But flashing it right over the top in recovery fixed it everytime.
[G1 Android Development] iluvmymytouch:
I've tried doing the donut based 1st. I followed the Cyanogenmod.com upgrading from older version last night.

"use only 3g networks" option gone

My rogers/32a stock ROM had 2 options for 2g only or 3g only. After upgrading to cyanogen 4.2.7.1 the 3g only option is gone, and while I leave the 2g only option unselectected, it frequently stays in 2g mode even there is a strong 3g signal here. If I do another search for a mobile carrier it picks up AT&T and switches to 3g mode but eventually it locks back onto 2g. How can I keep this from happening?

random Reboots

okay I've been on the v4.2.7.1 for about a week or so and notice a bug on the rom. every now and then the screen would go blank and now buttons work to wake the phone up again, unless I pull out the battery. not a big thing. has anyone else had this bug.
[G1 Android Development] landstander:
I've hit it twice (once on my wife's phone, once on my own). According to the issue tracker a fix is currently being tested, and expected to be included in 4.2.8... I don't have the link handy, sorry.

In our case, the 3-finger salute (power-phone-menu) was able to reboot the beastie, so we didn't have to physically remove the battery.
[G1 Android Development] iGoOsE76:
cool i'll try that next time...

Hi Sunny,

Without a signature in your post + a complete problem description it's impossible to help.

And for all people with problems we should have a question-list in my opinion...somethin like:

- Did you read the wiki of cyanogen and followed it to the Letter?

-With problems did you reformat/partition your SD card, and then reflash the dev rom + the latest Cyanogen Rom?

-Without installing any apk's did you reproduce your problem?

Yes? Post it @ the bugtrackerlist @ cyanogenmod.com!

No? try to find out wich apk triggers your problem and post it at

another forum Thread

. because the main idea about this Thread is to discuss about CyanogenMod!

I have respect for all android beginners, seniors & dev's. Together we make Android to another level!:D
[G1 Android Development] flarbear:
Just to be sure - you didn't mention anything about installing an HTC base ROM in there. The latest Cyanogenmod ROMs are not complete ROMs and will fail to boot if you install them on their own without installing a complete Donut ROM first. Install Donut ROM, then install Cyanogen over it and then you are good to go. The instructions and necessary links are on the first page of this thread.
[G1 Android Development] ardinmcallister:
So, i've been having this problem since CyanogenMod-4.2.3.1. I'm now up-to-date on the CM Builds (4.2.7.1) and its still happening.

Just about everything works, except that when i have bluetooth on and try and add only a SONG from the library to the playlist, it tries to scan for bluetooth devices. I've tried turning bluetooth off, and then it adds to playlist, however, i need bluetooth for my headset. It will add a whole album no problem, and same with artist. its just when i want to only add one song. Any ideas? This is on the Music App, not any of the other mp3 playing apps.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I don't even use that app anymore since it started freezing and I still get the reboots.

[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Did you apply the ram hack, that is the biggest reason for random reboots
[G1 Android Development] rpesigan6:
the only reason why i dont like this rom is cause the wired tether doesnt work on mac...
[G1 Android Development] oneG:
I did everything right...trust me, im not illiterate...maybe a bad speller with even worse grammer but i know i have followed the OP step by friggn step.

I too am having random reboot issues. No i havent added any extra hacks or scripts. And yes i repartioned EVERYTHING.

But the worst of my problems is when the calls go dead (no audio) but the Dialer is still active. I also had the same problem with Dwang v13. But that was on the other G1. So it cant be a hardware issue.

Cant end the call with the END button or the onscreen "End Call".

Either it will randomly shut off while im doing something else or when i kill the dialer task, which results with me re-entering my SIM PIN. Still, even after i restart the services I cant get a call to go through nor can i recieve calls. the only solution is a reboot.

I read the logcat and dont see anything out of the ordinary...but then again.... i dont kno what the hell im looking for.

I'll post it once its happen again...

Anyone else havin this issue or know whats causing it?

EDIT: also sometimes during calls sometimes my network connection goes dead. Not a big deal but i like multitasking during boring calls. Browser, MMS, Email, etc.
