This may sound a little strange, but is anyone here using swype with the 9/13 nightly? When I long press a character, to get the alternate character (i.e. long press "G" to get "6") it works, but the letter notification turns pink, not blue like a regular press of the button or light blue like it used to be. It happens for all alternate buttons. I've tried reinstalling it, but did not help, couldn't install the beta from the swype installer, so have not tried the newest version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crazifyngers:
it is happening for me. i am using the "older swype with mic button" started happening on 9/12 nightly for me

9/14 nightly

Can call out, but no calls in. Oh well I wait for the next release.

9/14 loaded

King's #1 (ASOP)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jackattack:
I was having trouble with the 9/14 nightly also. 9/15 seems solid so far. I like that you can swipe to clear a single notification. Nice touch.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
Still on 9/8 - battery life has been getting really good. About to put it on the charger now, it's at 17% after 20.5 hrs of moderate use on the stock 1300mAh battery. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing different than anyone else, but this ROM is just rockin' stable as far as I'm concerned. Over 170 hrs uptime right now :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mcgoo99:
I got a couple spontaneous reboots yesterday with the 9/14 build. also got the "temp drop"issue on both incoming and outgoing calls. testing out the 9/15 build today. battery still seems abysmal.

another interesting observation: we aren't the only ones with the "temp drop" problem. the CM6 build for the Eris is experiencing the same:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8142238

could this be an issue with CM6 CDMA phones? I never saw this with my GSM Nexus One running CM6...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mcgoo99:
that's fantastic...was your 9/8 install from a fresh installation, or upgrade from a previous nightly? I've been thinking a factory reset plus reinstall is in order soon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cabal_:
Has your phone had spontaneous reboots under other AOSP roms or earlier CM6 revisions, or is it one that's been stable across the board regardless?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
It was a clean install. I also uninstalled almost all of my 3rd party apps before flashing, specifically anything that had root access and/or network/dialer access. I kept Titanium obviously, but everything else I've added back in very slowly or not at all. Titanium is still the only app with root that didn't come with CM6 that I have running. Oh yeah, I put Dropcap back on a couple days ago.

So, basically all the games and frivolous apps that I didn't NEED, I didn't let reinstall. I wanted the ROM to have a chance to run without any bloat. I'd say it's worked :-). I've added quite a few apps back in the last few days and everything is still solid.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
CM6 is the only AOSP ROM I've run. I was absolutely plagued with reboots and pseudo dropped calls before 9/8. I literally was at the point of having to hold myself back from breaking the phone. If what I did in the above post hadn't worked, I almost certainly would have gone elsewhere.

I started with RC3 and moved to almost every nightly up to 9/8. I did full wipes every time. I'd wipe Dalvik, then Data, then Cache, then Data and Cache a second time. What I changed going into 9/8 was uninstalling all the bloat I had before flashing.

I also think it's important to flash just the ROM and then let it boot fully, go thru the intro and sign in to Google. I don't think you need to let it finish syncing tho. Then go back into recovery and install Google apps and anything else like keyboards or Titanium zip that you have. My 2 cents.

Thanks, good info.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lcsglvr:
Does anyone else's signal seem to be weak or attenuate on cm as compared to other roms?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sfxc13:
Is the battery life a recent problem for you or an ongoing one on the nightlies?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Do you use wifi on a regular basis? If so do you ever leave wifi enabled for an entire 24 hours? I have completely wiped (dalvik, cache, data) before any CM install and never had more than 12 hours uptime before a reboot or freeze. I always boot up completely before installing the google apps. I install very few apps but typically Touchdown (for Exchange email), Beautiful Widgets, and Pure calendar as a default set. I've never tried it without installing at least those three, might do it this weekend as I'll be on a mini vacation and reboots or freezes won't bother me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sfxc13:
I think it is more than just a wifi issue:

I just spent a week out of the country and had the phone radio off and the wifi on and did not experience a single reboot.

Back in the states this morning with phone radio on and wifi on and I already had a reboot.

Perhaps it is some application trying to use 3g while the wifi is on that causes the reboot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfiniti9:
I'm pretty sure its the 3G radio. Whenever you enter a low signal area (where it turns off and on alot) or enter/leave your wifi area it seems this is the major cause of the reboots. Now the thing is, the EVO users aren't getting the same reboot problems we are. They are using almost the same hardware except for the screens. I kinda doubt its the screen though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
I use WiFi at home and 3G at work. My WiFi was on the whole of this past weekend with no reboots.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
I think you're right. Or, maybe it's too many applications having access at the same time.

I hope the next nightly is better. I keep getting lockscreens and reboots with 9/15.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mcgoo99:
ongoing, every nightly I have ran. don't get more than 8-10 hours out of the 1500mA aftermarket batteries, roughly the same from the 1350 oem battery. average usage...if there is such a thing
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
Just wanna throw out there that I've been running the 9/13 nightly with almost no problems. Some lockups but eh, whatever, nothing a battery pull doesn't fix.

What I'm building up to though is that I just tried ShadowRom last night with the #1 KK Kernal that everyone is getting a boner about...and it sucked. Laggy as hell compared to CM6. Dunno if it was because of the default launcher in ShadowRom or what. But it wasn't anywhere near as comfortable as CM6.

Just sayin.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jackattack:
I've been running the 9/15 nightly since the other night and I've had one reboot. It happened just after install and wifi was on. I have no idea if that had anything to do with it though. Since then, I've had no problems.

Battery life has been as good as any CM6 stable/nightly I've run (using setCPU with screen off profile).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
I've been using 6.0.2 with no issues. But its all in how you use it I guess. ShadowROM ran fine for me, but it didn't seem quite as comfy as CM6, plus I honestly do not like the launcher. If I knew how to force ADW in there like CM has I might give it a longer go, but I want it as my *only* launcher not as a market download.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mcgoo99:
i just discovered my 9/15 install apparently forgot which apps i had previously downloaded from the market; all my downloaded apps are there, just not showing up in "My Downloads".

i'm going to take this opportunity to uninstall all my current apps, do a full wipe/factory reset and fresh install a la the mike.d method, and see how CM6 runs afterwards. also cleaned off the SD card and EMMC completely, just in case. had to sign on to my google account via wifi, as it said i didn't have a SIM card in my phone. well durr.

what's the point of flashing gapps now? as soon as i signed on and ran the market, it recognized the important google apps i needed...google maps, twitter, google search, superuser, google chrome to phone, google voice, facebook for android, and voice search. anything additional in the gapps-0817 zip file that i need?

edit: forgot to mention, i'm now using the Amon-RA style recovery, i like it better than clockwork. plus it gives full USB mounting access to the EMMC and SD Card. obviously this b0rks the ROM Manager but i never used that anyway.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
The market is part of gapps, as well as google sync.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
the only difference is its in /system/app instead of /data/app. still functions the same, just from a different spot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mcgoo99:
ah. a factory reset + wipe did not remove my google apps. i had to flash a different rom to the phone first (skyraider sense 3.0) and reflash CM6 first. THEN i had to flash gapps. now i'm starting from scratch. again.

mike.d you better be right about this LOL.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
- and it has a name :D:D

Good luck, I hope it works out for you. I'm about 7 hrs short of 10 days uptime now and still running strong.

EDIT - Actually, I think I was at 213 hours uptime here. Was crazy tired thinking 220 hrs was 10 days.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Nice Mike.d. I can't make it 2 days on AOSP roms without a random reboot. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
Same here. I really like both CM6 and Ruby but ended up switching to a de-Sensed rom because of the random reboots. Hopefully someone figures this out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
Out of curiosity, does anyone know why there was no 9/16 nightly?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ordovice:
I've had issues with the 9/15 locking up to the point the phone is unresponive after display is off. I'm not running SetCPU or anything like that. I reverted to the 9/13 and it seems to be semi-stable (though I still get the random reboots). Many thanks to the CM team though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cabal_:
Of the people not having any random reboot issues (and using wifi), what wifi sleep policy are you using?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Ditto with me - every flavor of CM I've tried has had the same battery life (horrible).

I have never changed it - don't know where this is configured. So mine has always been the default.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ordovice:
I've installed the 9/17 Nightly and so far so good. Here's hoping I'll see some more stability. No complaints so far, I just played a game of Fruit Ninja on it.

I did notice they release a new GAPPS package so I installed that as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Can we see a screenshot of your uptime?

EDIT - nm I found the prevous ones :)

I'm going to load up the latest nightly and gapps and use it over the next 4 or 5 days
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
I don't think it makes a difference. I've had sporadic reboots under every setting. I have a profile for Tasker that will put the phone into airplane mode when near (but not connected to) a certain wireless network, then briefly turn off airplane every half hour to receive messages. Just going within range of this network causes my phone to freeze, then reboot pretty much every time. This happens with every aosp rom I've tried.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cabal_:
Good to know, thanks. I wonder if it would be possible to track down the hardware or model of that access point that's causing the problem consistently for duplication.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Might be a stupid question, but how do you sign into Google without flashing the google apps? I'm looking all around and I can't see any place to sign into google before installign Gapps?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Asterdroid:
You can't unless they were left over from a previous flash.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
It's set to Never.

I usually turn it off/on as I leave/arrive at my house with the power control widget . Before 9/8 I had a Lite Settings Profile that switched it on/off through GPS localization, been thinking about turning that back on. I really wish it could turn the lockscreen on/off also.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr1070:
THE adw from cm6 is the same as the new.standalone versions. Im running that combo. The problem with it from the cm6 is that its setting are built into the settings apk of the cm6 rom. But look for it. It works great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Getting close to 24 hours without a reboot or freeze. But only running gapps and haven't installed anything else. Also haven't turned on wifi or bt. Never went more than 12 hours before. I did travel 530 miles and used gps a lot. I think I'm going to turn on wifi next for a day, then start with apps. This is with 9.17 nightly and latest gapps file from 9.17.

EDIT - after breaking my uptime record, it froze about an hour after enabling wifi after leaving range of the network I was connected to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
That's great news, good luck. I'm sure you've thought about this already, but try to keep it to one or two apps a day. That way you'll be able to see how the phone reacts and know what caused any change.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] viper8u2:
I was on the 9/15 nightly, is mms working on CM?

I noticed I got the message but it kept saying it failed to download
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
Wow - wifi is the culprit for me. Not even an hour after enabling it, phone was locked up with a blank screen and unresponsive. I noticed it once we left the house while driving away. Once again, this is with only the fresh 9.17 nightly installed with gapps. Nothing was installed from the Market or otherwise.

So just to recap: 24 hours uptime, including 9+ hours of driving using GPS, before turning on wifi and then experiencing a freeze.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] metroidnemesis13:
Yeah, I have the same problem with wifi. Also, I'm at a college and I'm one of those cheap a holes who refuses to pay for a data plan so I jump from wifi to wifi spot on my nexus one (perhaps 20 times a day) and I have issues connecting to wifi all the time (one of those is a secure EAP access point) or even an open access point (yes, I can access it on other devices). Honestly I think the wifi is incredibly buggy in CM's froyo. I'm running CM6 and this is the first time I've had issues with constant random restarting. Sometimes it will restart while trying to boot (20 plus times) until I remove the battery. I am honestly about to move back to my iPhone. I've restored it twice and wiped the sd card without backing up apps, etc.

So let me get this straight. When you wipe all your caches and restore factory settings on your phone and reload CM6 and gapps there are still gapps left over from the previous? Did reflashing another ROM and then going back to CM6 stop the random restarts for anyone? I need to get this fixed otherwise my 3GS is going to get more attention.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Huh? Just run Virtuous or one of the other Sense-based ROMs. They're a lot more stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
For the fun of it... someone that's running CM6 still... push the broadcom 4329 firmware files from skyraider (or any sense based 2.2 rom) to your firmware folder, fix the permissions and see if you still have any issues with wifi causing reboots...

I was working on trying to get BT working (sounding) better in Sense roms by pushing various BT files from CM6 over to sense (since BT sounds SO MUCH BETTER in CM)... I had noticed that the firmware for the wifi/bt chip in the sense roms was a totally different size in the two roms...

Anyways, worth a shot....

(I'd only recommend that you do this if you are extremely comfortable with the adb shell and permissions etc.. (chmod 644 the files you move)).

here's the location of the files and the differences in size...

/system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin -

CM - 247,584 bytes

Skyraider - 248,364 bytes

/system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin

CM - 246,696 bytes

Skyraider - 249,232 bytes
​

CM also has an additional file (BCM4329.HCD) in the firmware folder that Skyradier doesn't have... perhaps try removing... never know...

If I get some free time tomorrow i might give it a shot, but I've been pretty happy with my rock solid vanilla skyraider here recently...

Let me know if the screen cap is fuzzy or clear, can't tell on my phone.

EDIT - Fixed screen cap.

EDIT 2 - Oh Noooooooo!! The run is over, I forgot to plug the phone in and the battery died. Now, I either just see if I can duplicate it on 9/8 again or move to one of the new nightly's. Anyone want me to go either way?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aaronjb:
That's your perspective. I have no problems with my AOSP-based ROMs (CM and others that I've tried). No reboots, no lock-ups, no horrible battery life - even with wifi on and connected for the better part of a day.

I may not put my phone under a microscope like some here, but CM nightlies have been doing the trick for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
He's commenting on the fact that someone is threatening to switch to an iphone simply because they can't make CM stable on their phone. (which is kinda stoopid) You are like one of 2 people who don't have any issues... :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Lcsglvr:
I have been having rebooted and freezing like crazy. I think I figured it out for me. Not having setcpu installed on my phone. I haven't had a reboot yet. Will report back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
I went ahead and jumped back to CM6 and pushed the different wifi chip firmware files I was talking about. Will report back tomorrow ... (crosses fingers)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] metroidnemesis13:
Well to be fair I love android but I've been dealing with this reboot thing for a month and it just gets old. I have a samsung blackjack 2 that my friend dropped in a 40 oz big gulp and its running windows mobile 6.5 (yes, 6.5, I found it on the internet) and it is more stable then CM6. I don't remember if I had this problem with the RCs though. I think it was only after I installed CM6. I just hate it rebooting every five minutes when all I'm doing is reading achewood on the web.

good luck dnoyeb. So if I turn wifi off and never use it will it stop the freezing theoretically?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
In your current case, I doubt it. I really think the problems many people are having lie in the interaction of installed apps and the OS (CM). Meaning that it's not CM is borked, but that it doesn't always play well with others (or others don't play well with CM). What others?, I don't know yet for sure, but SetCPU is a big culprit and anything that has access to the radio (any/all networks) or root access is very suspect IMO.

I'm just a user, so take all that with some salt. But, CM6 runs rock solid on my phone (it didn't used to).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
My longest uptime came after not turning on WIFI at all. I also never installed a single application, or even added or changed any widgets/shortcuts. Froze up after turning on wifi and driving away from the AP.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
For those of you that paid attention, my phone had an 11 day uptime run with the 9/8 nightly. After forgetting to plug it in last weekend, the battery died and I was finally forced to reboot.

Since then, random reboots and freezes have unfortunately come back. I was very, very, disappointed that this happened. I had hoped that I was in the free and clear at least until I installed a new ROM. They happened whether wifi was on or not and setcpu was never installed.

So, I'm spending tonight trying to get a clean install of 9/20 :(:(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mike.d:
Well, I'm up and running on 9/20. I upgraded to the latest radio (2.15.00.09.01) and the latest HBOOT (.92), hopefully that makes a difference :rolleyes:
