This ROM has been working pretty flawlessly for me for the past couple weeks, but the past couple days it's been acting up Connectivity-wise.

For most of the day, I maintain a high amount of signal strength and everything works fine, but randomly for what seems like an hour at a time, it loses most (if not all) of it's connectivity. I still can receive/send calls just fine, but my texting, browser, and market all go to hell. I get text messages late and I can't even send a regular SMS message without it failing on me. I've rebooted the phone multiple times to no avail and reinforced the APN settings for my network (ACS Wireless in Alaska) using APN Backup & Restore.

I've double checked with other ACS users and they don't seem to be experiencing the same issue (But they have the stock ROM on their phones) and I love this ROM in coordination with Decad3nce's kernels. I've just run out of ideas and was wondering if you guys had any.

Please help! (:

What radio are you running? See my signature for the newest radio, and for a list of all current radios.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
no prob dude, but dude for some reason when i switched from darchdroid to cm6 thats when i did that and i figured it out myself, but from now on if it does it again, just go to settings and tap on ur voicemail number again lol:)

2.42.01.04.23

I saw version 2.42.01.04.27 in the link you gave me. Is it okay for me to update to this? I haven't done any research on radios and compatibility with networks, just not to flash a GSM radio on a CDMA phone lol, excuse the newbie question.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, the one in my post and the ones I link to from Flipz's website are all CDMA Hero safe. And no problem, it's good to check, I wouldn't want a brick either. Better to be safe than sorry :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Its good to mention to try more than one. Speaking for myself and several users, the eris dump radio has provided me with the best results :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 completely correct, different locations get different results with the radios :D

Does anyone have fennec installed and working. I got it installed but it fc before loading all the way, anyone help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajaholic:
is there a way to fix the notification led light so that it flashes like it does on sense roms? whenever i get text, e-mail, etc. the light just turns steady green and stays on until i turn the screen on. its not too big deal, but it is annoying.

i apologize if this was already resolved elsewhere, i couldn't find any by searching the thread.

thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm, it flashes for me? What version of CM6 are you running?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajaholic:
im running the stable release..completely wiped phone, ext, and dalvik before flashing.

did you change any settings after u flashed?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, I didn't change anything, I'm running the same thing too. Do you run handcent or chomp?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajaholic:
i have handcent installed, but the problem isnt limited to sms, the same thing happens when i get a new im in gtalk or a new e-mail in gmail.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm that's very odd, I don't know why your phone is doing something different. Is it set to flash green in handcent settings?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajaholic:
yeah it is..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try reflashing the rom on top of itself, no wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
No matter what rom i use my signal in my area just blows all the time, its so bad they had to send me a free airave to boost my sig in my home which works fine but driving around my town still has horrible sprint coverage, im using this rom with radio 2.42.01.04.27 from the 2.1 release still and idk man. Can some one recommend some radios i could test out just to play around with and not brick my phone, there has to be a way to increase my sig. thanks in advance

EDIT: the stock 1.5 radio blows in my area as well, 1 bar at the max
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
See my signature for a list of all radios, I would recommend the eris radio dump first, this one seems to work well for many.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
will give it a try thanks man

I'm running Dec's #14 stable kernel, and after doing the GPS trick, the best I can get is a lock within 100m. Granted, this is indoors, but I'm sitting next to the window in my dorm and have a clear view of the sky.

Does this sound like a decent lock? I could have sworn on 2.1 I got more accurate locks indoors.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
You should be able to get a lock within about 10 meters, although 100 is not bad at all :)

[Hero CDMA Android Development] travlincablguy:
One thing that I do to get better signal is to use a verizon prl file to lock onto their towers instead of sprints. If you have unlimited voice it is no problem. I have the 400 minute plan and I get charged for roaming after my allotted minutes, so I only use it when I'm in low sprint coverage areas for long periods of time.You can search the EVO forum or I can send you the 40060 old alltell (verizon) prl file that has worked wonders for me if you PM me.

You must have your msl number and use ##775# to install. Phone reboots everytime you manually update prl.

impaler!! why the hell is my phone lagging so bad still? flashed the lastest stable CM6, 9/14 uncapped kernel, setcpu MAX: 710 MIN: 691 ondemand, autokiller set on aggressive. seems like when i reboot my phone it will be smooth again but eventually it will gradually start to bog down and lag again. i dont know what else to do!! please help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
That seems Normal to me well at least from my exp. Autokiller doesn't really keep all the apps from reopening in the background it pisses me off.

Try backing autokiller off a step or two. I have mine set to Optimal and it runs great, I was noticing the eventual-slowdown issue myself when it was set to Aggressive.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chinkster:
normal for a phone to lag like ****?? im talking about lagging like when a piece of turd slowly makes its way down a toilet bowl...maybe even slower! on DDv2.8 my phone didn't lag at all.

Next time your phone lags, go into terminal emulator and type this for me:

Top -m 5

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
You're probably using JIT. Turn it off. You're phone will slow to a crawl because of heavily depleted RAM. This JIT isn't optimized for our device, thusly, it's optimized for high RAM devices.

So with a lot of uptime + JIT = slow as balls.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
See, that's what many people say, and to be honest I don't really disagree with you, but myself and many others run jit without a problem, and I have my phone on for 4-5 days at a time. Just curious why it would affect some but not others

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Decad3nce:
Multiple things:

How you use your phone; heavy apps? heavy multitasking?

Heap Size: Stick to default or is it higher?

Compcache: Getting that extra RAM from somewhere?

BFS vs CFS: BFS tends to starve tasks sooner than CFS and thusly could handle JIT better

Autokiller: What is the memory management setting?

I still don't recommend using it. At least not until Ninpo pushes his dalvik vm optimizations for our devices; and after we fix the "Failed to find cpu subsys" error spam. Which I finally pinpointed this morning! Hoorah! http://gist.github.com/593394
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dedian:
Because everyone uses their phone differently, and have different apps.

Edit: what Deca said :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Actually I just turned jit off and I don't notice a drop in performance. I'll leave it off for a while and see, but I'm liking it off better :)

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!

Cool I turned it off for now, let us know when you've got the hero optimized version up and running, very cool indeed :D

[Hero CDMA Android Development] squigglyrulez:
Performance

At one point I experienced the same performance issues that you guys seem to be having. It works good for a while after reboot, then it slows down to a crawl. Reboot, its good again. What I decided to do was see if there was any apps that used extra services while I was not using it. I used a combination of quick system info and autokiller, to identify the services that were running (not the processes). Quick system info even shows core services that run on your device, if you configure show locked services. Whenever I had a lockup, I went to quick system info to see what my top cpu load was. Of course it was 100 percent and it shows you what is using the processes in order. What I found was that my cpu load was 100 percent, but not all the listed processes totaled 100 percent. What that means is that you have a service using the rest of the cpu not a process. So I uninstalled all programs that had services that were running and not crucial to the phones core functionality. I found that vilingo voice was causing an issue using the cpu as it had 2 services running at all times, even though i didnt open the program after a reboot.

If i was to do this again, i would do a fresh wipe of everything and install 1 or 2 apps and see how my phone does with them. Maybe that explains why after a full wipe and not installing any apps, performance is good.

Hope this can help find out what is causing the slowdowns for you guys. I also switched to BFS 9/22 kernel fyi and loving it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I am trying some different settings to see if it helps with the eventual drag of the rom after a couple days. I turned off JIT and dithering, but should I use Compcatche? Also what VM heap size should I use?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
I fixed my lag with a simple habit change. I hardly ever hit the home button. Whenever I am done with whatever app I'm using I now faithfully hit the 'back' button. Doing that is supposed to actually kill the running app and for the most part it works. It doesn't kill all of them but it does most.

I can run my phone for days with no lag whereas before the habit change it would get laggy after a while. To me lag = ram starvation. I try not to multitask too often (but Pandora in the background is a must!)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darodiho:
if you don't mine me asking, what r your collin batt tweak settings???

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajaholic:
ok wow i reflashed it on top of it self and now the notification light doesnt go off at all lol..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
That's odd my notifications have been working fine on stable.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Does anyone know a way to fix the 160char thing with the default messaging app? I know chop and handcent can do it for me, but I really like the default app over those. Its just a pain in the ass to have to press send half way in a message because you fear you are gonna go over 160 and it won't send.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
I really wish it was standard that a long press on back closed the app. Sometimes you don't want to leave something running, but you don't want to spend 2 minutes hitting back 50 times either.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajaholic:
just did a full wipe, and reflash. still same thing led just stays steadily on upon notification. any other ideas?

awsome...ok thanks..i figured this. So by chance i looked at the changelog, is there any real reason to go to the 6.0.0 stable? i saw something about MMS and GPS fix. would anyone suggest going from the RC1(running 8-24 nightly) to this new stable version?

Messaging issues

Is anyone not able to receive SMS? I can send out, but not receive. I was using Google Voice to manage my voicemail (disabled text management), but have now deactivated it. Still, problem persists. Running 6.0.0 stable with deca's stable #14 and a2sd with both programs and dalvik running off of SD (class 6) and swap set to 64MB with swappiness @31.

You can check "Stop app via long-press". I think this will do what you want.

When you have 10 characters left, it will show a counter. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it will also split your text for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vandelay007:
I had this problem. I had to wipe, load a sense rom, I used the latest fresh rom, then I was able to receive them...then I deleted all my froyo downloads and really downloaded them and was all set when I wiped and reflashed cm6, gapps and one of decs kernels

Once I loaded fresh all the texts I missed came through

Let me know if you need more help and good luck
[Hero CDMA Android Development] roundaway:
For what it's worth.....I had flashed one of the early Darchstar 2.2s and had the LED stay on. Applied LED Hack and that fixed it. A subsequent version of 2.2 came out that fixed the LED so I flashed and then removed LED HACK. I've never been able to get the LED to flash, only come on solid for notifications, or charging. Complete wipe and flash when 6.0 came out but LED still the same.

Took another Hero in the house running Fresh 2.1, wiped, and flashed 6.0. LED flashes/blinks.

So I'm wondering if something isn't getting overwritten when wiping. Thinking about RUUing, rooting, and reflashing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fifedogg:
Let me know if you can get it to work. It sucks not having a notification led...Mine wont even light up at all unless I'm charging my phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pauper7:
CM6 with Deca #14 and Deca batt tweak...SLUGGISH!! FREEZES like my prom date...I dont get it...ugh.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
That's cool, but it doesn't work. Some apps, like the browser, attach their own event to long back (history) so it kills it, and brings up history. But that's still only 2 backs then so probably better.

It doesn't work in other apps at all. You know how some apps force close, but instead of looking at the homescreen they reload back to their same state, more or less? It's almost like that's what it does.

Thanks for the top though, at least now you don't have to hit back 78 times in the browser to actually kill it. (Or am I being a dumb ass and overlooking an easy way to do that?)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vita10gy:
Not running the batt tweak, just cm6 and the #14, and it's by far the crappiest my phone has run compared to the nightlies and standard kernal.

Still much better than other roms, and definitely still usable, and generally snappy, but it gets bogged down way faster than my same usage pattern on the nightlies.

(And I don't mean to scare ppl off, my phone could reboot every 2 hours and CM6 would still be the best rom out there. I went from counting the nano seconds until I could get an Epic 4g or Evo next month to wondering if I should wait for the next big things. I literally went from hating my phone to loving it.)

Edit: I also don't mean to run down the other devs who do great work. IMO they're handcuffed to something that was halfbaked, and too much for our phones (Sense) and also to 2.1, neither of which are their fault.

theimpaler747,

do you have random lockups? im on 9/18 6.0.0 from the thread but get a lockup every few days that requires a battery pull. no other tweaks have been done, no jit, no dithering, no batt tweak, etc. it runs real nice aside from the randon lockups. do you think i should try #14 stable or #8. i must have gps but it sounds from your earlier posts its fine in #8 bfs correct. a little advice is appreciated. thx.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I haven't experienced any lockups at all, this rom has been good to me. I would try the #8 BFS, as it's super fast, and then if there's any GPS issues you can just flash the #14 stable, which is no slouch either :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
+1 for the hero right now, JIT is only good for benchmark scores. I found that out after I removed it.
