[Nexus S General] floomat:
thanks HelloH but flashed netarchy 1.4.0 and same problem..

i have a backup but its a few days old, if nothing else helps i will restore it.
[Nexus S General] novagol:
i don't know about all of the problems with bln a lot of users are having, but i have none. tried all of the notification combos (missed call, sms, gmail) and had 0 reboots, i came from nscollab .41 though and because i wanted a fresh install i formatted everything beforehand (system, cache, data, boot), and as i've said, had no problems so far.

i also agree with all of the requests being made (overcloking, uv, dimmer) but on the other hand the dev did so much awsome stuff already that i feel we should take it a bit more easy on him and be patient and i'm sure he'll get everything sorted out!

big tnx, especially since there hasn't been any real development in a while for our crespo and keep up the good work!
[Nexus S General] HelloH:
Before you roll back to your old state, please backup the current borked one, so you can fix later! It's probably something that a manual fsck, or a simple overwrite can fix.
[Nexus S General] HelloH:
(To floomat) you could also do a partial manual restore from your old backup (leaving your data alone), then WITHOUT BOOTING INTO IT(!!!) flash the latest cm and reboot.
[Nexus S General] floomat:
thanks, i already did a backup :) but i probably think this is not fixable...

didn't work :( somehow the data of my current state is corrupted... hope someone could look into that log and find out whats going wrong here...
[Nexus S General] HelloH:
Sorry :( if you wish to salvage something from your currupted data, you can mount it, and see what has survived.
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
No reboots in the last 2.5 hrs, with a few gmails coming in. Not sure if it rebooted over night or not. Hopefully not, and this continues reboot free with bln working.
[Nexus S General] floomat:
how to mount .img on windows? so maybe i can pull some of my data and put it back manually :)
[Nexus S General] zyonee:
If it's a yaffs2 image, you can google for "unyaffs". It will unpack the img file into folders with subfolders.
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
anyone 210????:D:D
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
If you do the nandroid, then you can actually format data too. At which point do an advanced restore after factory reset and set it to only restore data. This method works great for me when I have problems.
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
Not sure what the point would be in wiping the data if you're just going to restore it again?

Either way, still no reboots. Gonna flash 210 here now.
[Nexus S General] JDMSirEK4:
latest nightly is 2.3.7!!! :D
[Nexus S General] droidance:
Nightly 210 has 2.3.7 build? So does it mean Google Wallet may work?
[Nexus S General] got2best:
I wanna know this also! Any way to add Google wallet? I have flashed 210 already and google wallet is not installed. But I do want it. Any way to do this?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
build 19 ext4 hack

flash it from recovery
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
gotta flash every update nightly right
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
yes, when you flash a new nightly (or any rom) it has its own boot img so it will kick out the "ext4" one. they are also build specific, so the latest I posted is just for b19
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
alright cool, just checkin and makin sure, My list of items to flash on my NS is starting to look like my N1 did :)
[Nexus S General] :
flashing now, thanks
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
You've made our lives easier but added more work (than hitting the gscript) for you since you have to update with each nightly. Appreciated.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Thanks, these are great.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Ditto. It fc on me when I'm receiving a call, but not when I send a call.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
your welcome, I'm sure in the near future this will be implemented into cm...
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
I just called myself (I could be waiting days for someone to call me) and I did not have a force close. Did you try fixing permissions?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
its a "google" problem http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/01/28/nexus-s-reboot-bug-could-be-fixed-within-one-to-two-weeks-sez/?utm_source=engadget&utm_medium=twitter
[Nexus S General] headsh0tshurt:
I've been having random problems with these builds. Now after receive to build 18, I had to wipe my data and restore from an older rom.now the long press on the home screens doesn't bring up the trash can our the widget menu
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
I've been getting better smartbench scores with the original ext4 zip you posted and build 19 then with build 19 ext 4 hack
[Nexus S General] dingdonghei:
Running 19 with trinity15 now. Seems fairly stable, at least when phone is not in charger. Hard to know if it's google or trinity that's causing the reboots though :)

EDIT: browser now just crashes and exits, instead of causing reboots. that's pretty neat. has to be the new nightly, I'm using the same kernel. But I'm still stuck with dolphin or opera.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Google is releasing an update in a week or so to address the random reboots
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Nope, but I will try later since I've missed some calls and have no idea who it was from. Man, I haven't done "fix permissions" for a long time now.
[Nexus S General] tominater12:
So what does that little download you provided do?
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
I had 18 and I kept getting phone FC... I upgraded to 19 and I would get a FC every 10sec or so with no signal. I went back to 17 and back to normal. I just wait for tonights nightly.
[Nexus S General] ajftl:
Puts Turbo to ur phone
[Nexus S General] Red Fox:
I would have to agree, jlevy73

[Nexus S General] droidance:
Well CM7 doesn't include Google Apps so Wallet will not be installed.. and it's not in GAPPS neither.

But I'm thinking it's more complicated than extracting Spring 2.3.7 ROM, pull out Wallet.apk, lib, NFC files, and simply paste it to current setup.... :(
[Nexus S General] got2best:
Do u know where we can possibly get a hold of the apk or something that we can test with?
[Nexus S General] jungbum:
You can download the Sprint 2.3.7 ROM update from Google's server, extract the zip file, but I'm quite sure that copy and paste is not the answer.

system/app has Wallet.apk

I see some Shopper lib on system/lib

patch/system/lib includes some NFC elements.
[Nexus S General] got2best:
What do u suggest then?
[Nexus S General] daniel3ric:
Hope it continues to work well for you.

[Nexus S General] got2best:
Just updated to 210 love that development is going so well! Thanks!

Only thing I have notices is that BLN is still not working.. has any1 tried to do a full wipe? I am thinking about trying this but not sure.
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
Ugh got a go sms and reboot. Took like 10 before it did though,so its not every time.

Edit and now a gmail reboot. Bln off I guess
[Nexus S General] al_madd:

Serious problem here!!!!!! :(

Flashed 210 Nightly and whenever the screen is off, phone no longer works and I have to pull battery out to reboot since it's nonfunctionable.

Any solutions?
[Nexus S General] got2best:
Full wipe is all I can think of.. I updated mine and didn't have that problem.. u can try to reflash it first.. if not go.. then fresh install
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
Try to flash alternative kernel?

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Nexus S General] droidance:
I reflashed it twice but it's still the same. I'm outside right now so there isn't much I can do. I'm going to try to leave the screen timeout in 30 minutes and download different ROM, but not sure if that's the best possible method since the internet is slow outside.. my battery went down 30%+ in less than 1 hour.. I think something is seriously wrong here :(
[Nexus S General] tehgeekguy:
Why set the screen timeout so high? That will drain the battery faster.

If you're keeping the screen on to stay connected to a wifi network, just set the wifi sleep policy to never. Wifi Settings -> Press Menu -> Advanced.
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
It's not a kernel issue. It's the baked in BLN thing. It's not every text I get, but a lot of them cause reboots.
[Nexus S General] JDMSirEK4:
running nightly 210 since early this morning. running trinity 880MHz kernel with it and bln is off via the bln app in the market. When i had the bln on using 208 and 209 got way too many reboots, therefore its the bln causing all the reboots guys. Havnt had none, zip zero, nada reboots all day and loving it. Battery life is amazing also.....

hope this helps :)
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
It looks like they are prepping for another RC or Final. I really really really hope this does not make it through yet another "stable" release cycle.

[Nexus S General] nonameduck:
I'm not sure what happened, but my phone randomly rebooted and got stuck on the boot logo. Wiping cache/Dalvik cache didn't help and neither did re-flashing. I had to restore to a backed up version. 210 nightly with stock kernel.
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
power off...pull your battery for 10 minutes...

re-flashing again

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

try first change your kernel....

If you say BLN cause your problem..disabled it..solve..!
[Nexus S General] daniel3ric:
Again tons of kernel updates in today's nightly.

Hope those suffering from instabilities and unwanted reboots will find a solution in #211 rcu changes.
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
Al those updates are not to make system really more stable. Please report me all those who has inestability those things:

What NB version?

When does it fails?

What device? 9020, 9023...

Do you have made a clean installl, cleaning all, dalvik, system...?

Did you recover a previous backup?

What governor are you using? ondemand, by default ( amartassv2...) ?

What kernel are you using ( original one or an other ) ?

Can you send me a log from the moment it fails?

One more think, if you switch off and on 3G it could fail. I am investigating this issue. If you do this, go to telephone, presss *#*#INFO#*#* and turn off the phone system and on again. That will make you recover the system and recover 3G too.

Kalim
[Nexus S General] zadnica:
211 is up!
[Nexus S General] daniel3ric:
Kalim, thank you for your exceptionnal work, I just installed #211 - wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions - and will tell you how it behave.

I am very impressed that, at least for me, this kernel overcomes others by far in terms of stability for my day to day use.

I am running a 9020T over a french (3G) network, I (ab)use of phone, push gmails, lotus traveler, whatsapp, thinkoffice, angry birds, browser, tune in, gmap. I use profiles, all with led notif deactivated.

Any chance of adding core files to make Wallet work? It seems like a poster figured out and it works on stock 2.3.6 and 2.3.7, but not CM 7 2.3.7 (Nightly 210~).

Thanks!

+1 got the same thing with my OC/UV kernel yesterday. Thought it was my mods but I guess that if you had it on stock kernel its not my mods.

[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Ok... people aren't getting it are they? It's the NEW BLN issue. It has nothing to do with BLN in general. BLN has been working FOREVER on the Nexus S. After nightly 203 where CM7 team baked in BLN support where it blinks for you automatically, things have gotten bad.

sure we can turn off BLN and solve it all, but basically CM7 broke an originally working feature.... it's better that CM7 fix the blinking BLN bake in support rather than to tell us to turn off BLN entirely.

It's like saying if we could make phone calls up til Nightly 203, and afterward we can't, and you just tell us "stop making phone calls." Well gee thanks buddy, makes my phone useful....
[Nexus S General] yojlik:
The difference is that the Nexus S isn't a backlight notifier that happens to make phonecalls.
[Nexus S General] RieGo:
i don't get your problem. you don't have to activate ANYTHING for bln to work. it's just a trackball-notification replacement. I haven't had any issues since it's in the cm kernel. I never had such a stable kernel (except the stock kernel) :D

maybe you should just uninstall that bln app (If you use that)

i mean how would you turn off bln? :confused:

btw: sorry if i missed something. i didn't read all the pages
[Nexus S General] morfic:
Maybe he was rushing a little to add as many features as he could for tomorrow's 7.1.0?

As long as they fix it with a 7.1.0.1 :p
[Nexus S General] Roscopcoletrain:
People tried removing the bln app and still have issues
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
CM7 on Nexus S has been rebooting to a dark boot loop since way before BLN. Maybe this BLN thing is triggering the same instability.
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Ok what I'm saying is using BLN is irrelevant. Thousands of users on XDA have been using CM7 Kangs, Nightlies, CM7 based ROMs such as MV or NSCollab for months and months now. Most of these don't just use the default CM7 kernel, and have been using Trinity, Netarchy, or Matr1x. I bet a solid 60% of these CM7 users have been using the BLN support at least with the BLN app.

This means we're used to BLN notifications for email, sms, etc. Not all of us pay for the blinking app, so I think most of us just got the solid BLN on.

Somewhere along the line of CM7 nightlies, 203 or so, we got baked in BLN support... or something changed. So even though we run neldar's free BLN app with no BLN control except whether it's on or off, we suddenly get blinking notifications. My initial reaction is:

- Hey this is cool. We get BLN support and blinking features even though this was a paid feature before.

- It's great BUT there's no way to turn off the blinking support. I havent tried uninstalling Neldar, but it's pretty clear that either we get blinking or we don't get BLN period. No happy medium.

After a bit more use, it seems that certain notifications like SMS and Whatsapp notifications (read everyone's feedback so far) is causing reboots. You can obviously tell us to stop using a kernel or stop using SMS or whatever, but the thing is these apps worked with the BLN support we had for months and months and months.

What's changed recently is CM7. Either you're telling us all these apps and all our kernels are written to deal with BLN wrong, and that nightly 203 and later has the TRUE BLN support that we should deal with, and we should just deal with our reboots, or it's likely CM7 has some issues. Given that these are nightlies, I suspect something in CM7 isn't right. Even if you look at this from a non developer's standpoint, forcing us to take blinking BLN with or no BLN at all, even though we all signed up for non blinking BLN with neldar's free app, is a bit retarded. We should at the very minimum have control over implementing CM7's baked in blinking BLN support or NOT.

I don't mind having a new BLN control through CM7, but we should be able to go back to our old methods of having BLN controlled through Neldar's app and the kernel. Sure I could flash a pre-203 nightly, but we all love new ROMs.

Edit: what I'm saying is BLN was working for us for months. CM7 came along and broke it recently. It could be a combination (integration issues) of different things like kernel, rom + BLN malfunctioning, but its pretty obvious CM7 was the one that broke it all in the end. You could argue for kernel rewrites, BLN re-implementation depending on who you believe has the proper implementation.... but why I'm mad is something that's been working for 6 months now goes down the drain and the solution that the non BLN users keep echoing is "turn it off." Okay? What about my phone call analogy? Stop making phone calls if a new ROM breaks phone calls? Shrug.
[Nexus S General] laslow:
In short? These are nightlies/kangs. These are not release quality - they are builds with recent changes in them that may or may not work, and require testing. Do not expect everything to work. When things break, they will be fixed, but that takes time. Ranting on XDA that "This used to work on these unstable builds, but now it doesn't, and hasn't for X number of builds!" won't resolve anything.

If you want a ROM that "Just Works", stick with one of the Stable releases and wait for them to get upgraded.

Edit: To add something on-topic to this comment, BLN (blinking and all) works fine for me. No crashing, no reboots, nothing. Just works.
[Nexus S General] TRIUMF:
210 froze at night. Had to take battery out..
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
Can you try to make a clean install and no use any app to control bln to see what happends? I don't knows the real issue you are having since I have no reboots since NB206, and it seams I'm not the only one. Belive me, from this post you've done I cannot get any clear information to solve your issue more than that maybe you don't like my work. I've never said turn off BLN, just report me what issue is causing you, and send me a log to work on. Since I have no issues at all more than change from 3G to 2G switch, I cannot solve it.

Kalim
[Nexus S General] morfic:
I believe he is saying he can not control BLN from blinking notification to steady only notification.
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
Morfic, that can be easy removed from the ROM, sice I have never used neldar app to control it I didn't know this was pay on his app. For this reason, I'm going to remove this from the ROM ( binking ) since I talk to Neldar about it.

Kalim
[Nexus S General] terryhau:
It's good, since you could have BLN and blinking without the BLN control services running all the time.

And the BLN control services keep the CPU awake to make it blink. I don't know if the way you've done it does this.

But if it has to be removed then, whatever.
[Nexus S General] KalimochoAz:
I was done in kernel blink so no service keep the CPU running. Nevermind, I have removed since I talk to Neldar. On the other hand I'm more focused on 3G issue at the moment.

Kalim
[Nexus S General] RieGo:
alright

My question: did any of you try a full data wipe? and did you flash any other kernel before? maybe some custom kernel stuff causes this issues.

I had many freezing-issues until i wiped my data. custom kernels usually leave their traces...
[Nexus S General] kevinngck1:
To be included in next nightly:

Remove BLN blink from boot (android_device_samsung_crespo)

Update kernel binary prebuild (android_device_samsung_crespo)

ARM: dma-mapping: free allocated page if unable to map (samsung-kernel-crespo)

Add Overclock and allow undervolt ( not by default ) (samsung-kernel-crespo)

[Nexus S General] alf69mi:
Kalim

with latest nightlies i'm having the same problem as i already reported to Google:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=433c283cb9c0ba87&hl=en

At the end Ry Guy from Google recognized the bug.

3G-WiFi (cellular data - WiFi) switch now is very slow ALSO on CM7.

CM7 and MIUI were the only roms (maybe also nscollab and other cm based...) where the switch was quick.

Would it be possible to fix it as it was before,

i don't know which nightly changed the behaviour but i think up to #200 was fine...

thanks.
[Nexus S General] unforgiven512:
I (personally) feel as if the BLN code should be re-written to follow the method used by (basically) all other devices -- liblights.

They have the implementation done right on the G2x.

My point?

Not to take money from Neldar, but, to remove one more app that needs to always be running, taking up RAM, depleting battery.
[Nexus S General] melvinchng:
