It looks to be more widespread than just your ROM tazz...people are talking about GPS reboots over in a couple heroC CM7 threads. No one seems to really know what's going on but their ideas include gps taking up too much memory, phone overheating, and purging of assets being enabled. Some posts from heroC threads: 4/27/11, 4/22/11, 4/14/11, 4/8/11.

I have yet to see a kernel message log(dmesg or cat /proc/kmsg) of this problem for our eris or the hero but would be useful.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cu_shane:
Just so no one wastes their time or money to test dogcatcher...that's not it. I have the problem in v23 and I don't use that app. In fact, I have the problem w/ I don't have any apps other than google apps installed so I don't think a 3rd party app is the problem. The overheating issue sounds plausible...my phone get's pretty warm.

Tazz, try not to pull all your hair out over this. Everyone knows that you've tried/are trying everything you can think of and we appreciate it :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] damienisxcore:
Been using this rom for about 1-2 weeks now, and it's so slow. I barely have anything installed on the phone next to Handcent. It's choppy going from screen to screen and accessing the menu. Opening apps hangs for a good 3 seconds. I'm basically running a clean install.

Not using this rom anymore, but thanks for the effort.
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
doesn't sound like a ROM issue to me... this ROM has always been the smoothest and fastest on my phone, and I had a ton of apps installed.

Do you have LauncherPro or anything? Lots of widgets on your screens?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Lol thanx for the effort ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGratefulDead:
thats what he said 5 days ago not 2 weeks
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Lol yea saw that.. Atleast I gave good effort lmao
[Droid Eris Android Development] trybal057:
wheres the v.23 link?
[Droid Eris Android Development] santinog:
I was hoping it was fixed but during my run race, it rebooted at 2.4 miles. Even though I was running face and dying at the same time I was like man I really don't want to report back to Tazz its still not fixed. :) I guess we all developed a dependency on our GPS phones. I would almost really have the phone part not work so no one could call me. Anyways, maybe we just need to wait and see what happens. I appreciate all your efforts and no matter what this ROM is super fast.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bradrobster:
Loading v23 now...v22 has been fine for me. I did do 3 diff tests of navigation with no issues...only lasting about 25 min max..Rom still very fast for me..I even showed it to a guy tonight who got the TB for his 10 yr old daughter..lol .. He said..your running "that Gingerbread thing" on your phone and she doesnt have it...lmao... He commented on how fast it was. Will let ya know

Thanks for the effort RAZZ.... lmfao!!!! I love this forum...makes me laugh!:D:D:D:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Ok, after a field test, I did get the phone to reboot even with memory purge off and unplugged. However, other things were not working, I get this strange plus button in the Calendar app that isn't supposed to be there, and at one point the voice search app stopped taking audio input. I suspect i have a bad flash, and will have to reflash v23 to make sure. If its still rebooting after another flash, i'll grab some logcats with various app combinations. Won't have a lot of time tomorrow, so it might be Monday before I can get it done.

Also, just want to say thanks to Tazz and company for all the hard work making this poor abandoned phone work so well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Blkbty:
Obviously doesnt know how much Tazzs efforts suck
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok ive been up all night ,, just got back from a walk,,,using gps +pandora,,, walk took 1 1/2 because i cant walk that far and need to stop now and then but both apps on ,, not reboots no nuthing once again,,,,this will be the last update if the reboot continues, until its figured out

maybe more effort? lmfao

[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Thanks Tazz!

Just thinking out loud: The logcats keep saying a memory fault is the cause of the resets. Does the CPU governors have anything to do with the way the phone handles memory?

EDIT: Flashing v24 now. Had another thought: is there any hardware test programs that I could run, say a stress test for CPU, Memory, ect? I need some way of testing my phone's hardware to make sure there isn't anything wrong with the phone itself.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
TheGeek, I believe SetCPU has a benchmark built in. Run the "long" one or if there's a stress test run that one.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Any word ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Downloading now will test today using maps and Pandora
[Droid Eris Android Development] mad5870:
V24 works for me very well. But I never had issues before.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IndyRoadie:
"thanks for the effort"? My aren't we just a TAD condescending.

It's not the ROM, since hundreds of other people don't have a problem.

Probably a PEBPAP error..

Problem

Exists

Between

Person

And

Phone

:D

Seriously though, if you are running Launcher Pro you need to tweak the settings, or delete some Widgets. Almost every speed issue i have had on any ROM has been with LauncherPro

...but hey, since you probably already switched ROMs, without bothering to ask for advice, mine is probably wasted anyway..:cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Steve125:
I'm still on v20 test 3 with no issues. I'm going to ve upgrading to 24. Since the source was switched to gsm I'm assuming a full wipe is required, or can I flash over?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
it was switched from gsm... But u should get away with a flash over.. but if u encounter issues.. do a wipe bro :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Y would he/she ask for help.. don't even know when he flashed it as pointed out by someone lol says he was using it for 1-2 weeks when it was just a few days lol. Maybe he didn't put in enough effort LOL
[Droid Eris Android Development] bennettg:
Tazz:

I flashed 24 but when i when into settings, about phone, it still says 23. Did you miss something or have I?

Thanks in advance
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
That would be me lol guess I didn't put in enough effort lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] bennettg:
tazz, we appreciate all you do, especially with the pain that you are in. i am a noob and assumed that i probably did something.

have you been to hospital for special surgery in NYC?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bradrobster:
v24..( aka v23..lol) working great for me...Even though I still never use Pandora and nav together, I used them for a trip across town and back and let it run in the car while I ran an errand. It was a total of about 45min+ and never hit any issues..but i haven't had the issue before either. I saw improved speed in v23 and also v24. Still a solid 1st for SRE..lol :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
can't get any kinda surgery or anything.outside of pa.. workers comp won't pay.for it bro...if they would I would go home to Boston .. but they said no...they suck
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
thanx bro... Maybe I should call it the good effort Rom lol

Sorry about the effort jokes .I just found that funny
[Droid Eris Android Development] bennettg:
tazz: just noticed that with the 24 version, when i am charging (either by power cord or usb), the phone is way sensitive and almost moves itself from screen to screen. when i am not plugged in i can shake the heck out of the phone and nothing abnormal happens. any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mercys Fallen:
That's a bug of the Eris. Locked my first phone that way and it was stock...
[Droid Eris Android Development] dbnaruto:
I've read that this is a hardware issue. Something about the USB effecting the trackball.

Sent from my Droid Eris ♥ (running Tazz GB v19 [eat your heart out Jobs])
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Get you some Tazz SuGER :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
Just flashed 24, its stupid fast :3 why is it so loud though? Lol I got a notification when I rebooted my phone and it almost blew the speaker xD
[Droid Eris Android Development] bennettg:
Any ideas on why it just happened? i know it is not the rom, because i flashed back to 23 and it still happened. i've had the phone for many months and it never did this....no new chargers or cables. how can i fix?

thanks in advance
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
That is a phone issue.. not sure if there is a fix. But its a known bug .. it happened to me and needed to replace it
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Loud? Hhmm I didn't.do anything different
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
downloading now...going to put this on her phone ...... i haven't been here for a while since i dont have the eris anymore..but gotta keep the wifes phone going. how is GB on the eris ??? I hate in on my OG droid seems to be a big battery eater...and buggie

\
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
Anyone else having this? Not that its a problem really... I don't like it but I'm sure many people would...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
I don't know y its doing that but.I did a search and found this maybe it will work ..found it in cs thread ..

[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Try the stock volume flash on my rom op and see if that fixes it lol.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
lol you guys are good. :) same link, both of ya. ty :D hope it works!
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Reboot on v24 after about 30 minutes. Only a dalvik wipe though. May try a full wipe tomorrow and run bone stock. Just to see if its a certain app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ILikeBubbles:
Yay it worked!!! Ty ty ty!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Kinda scary 2 of us think the same huh :eek:

Glad it worked for you :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
When you do your full wipe. During setup, uncheck the option to restore settings from google servers. Just to rule out the possibility that it's a setting somewhere that is being restored at that time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i think thAT Would be dangerous:eek:
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Oh. I'm not doing this, as its a pain to set up my wifi WEP key yet again.

The phone reboots with Doggcatcher and Navigation, and I'm again getting odd behavior and graphics, namely a plus button on top of the days in the calendar app, and a plus button instead of the android in the usb notification.

I need to figure out if it truly is my phone is at fault. I plan to do the following:

1. Get logcats of the resets to compare

2. Try the CPU test in SetCPU, see if anything strange comes up

3. Rollback to a version like v14 that I know worked, and see if I get the resets still. Perhaps I'll capture a logcat of it working, to act as a baseline.

However, I'm working a lot, so I won't be able to do too much.

And again, thanks to Tazz and co for all the help making this old phone go way beyond what it was designed to do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
0ok i need to come clean with this last test i used CondemnedSoul rom, i have seen a few of u guys in his thread, with no complaints about rebooting ,,how can this be ? he uses sheds source and so does macrodroid and i havent seen any reboots,so im not sure whats going on to be honest ,, how can those roms be used with no reboots and u are getting thiem with this rom ? its the same rom, only thing changed was the name:confused: and cs knows lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Well, tried real quick to capture a logcat tonight, but for some reason it doesn't want to reset!

Also, I got some really good advice from MongooseHelix, he suggested I try the following:

logcat -b events > /data/gps_elog.txt &

cat /proc/kmsg > /data/gps_kmsg.txt &

he said the ampersands (&) were to make it run in the background so you could run two commands at once, but I couldn't get it to work. I tried two command prompt windows with the following commands:

in the first window

adb logcat -b events > gps-elog.txt &

in the second

adb logcat /proc/kmsg > gps_kmsg.txt &

and only the second seemed to work, updating only the gps_kmsg.txt file.

Anyone have any clues as how to run two adb commands at once?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
off topic but ,,YES BINLADEN IS DEAD!!!!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i have no idea , but im still trying to find out y people use cs cm7 rom and dont have this issue but they are with this,, its the same rom :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Just caught that **** HOOAH!
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
Well, I have to figure out why the ROM is working great for most people, and lousy for me. I'm gonna try testing the phone hardware with SetCPU and anything else I can find (memtest programs, diagnostics, etc) to make sure the phone hardware isn't faulty in some way.

If its not the phone, then I need to figure out what i'm doing differently, or if the phone is different in some way.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
whats bush gunna do now? his boy is dead
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
You can do this all in one window/prompt if you want. The problem is the second command should be just cat and not logcat (see red text in quote). Also, if you don't want to have to put adb in front of the commands you are running, type "adb shell" and you will be able to run commands on your phone.

TL,DR version...type or copy and past these three lines into a window/prompt one at a time:

adb shell
logcat -b events > /data/gps_elog.txt &
[COLOR="Red"]cat[/COLOR] /proc/kmsg > /data/gps_kmsg.txt &
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Will do. You may be on to something with this. Maybe its something that a select few of us picked up along the way that's interfering with proper GPS and audio interaction that crept into the settings that are we restore when we setup after the new flash.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i am really confused ,,, as i stated ,, i switched roms just to test a theory,,ive looked in his thread and no one is haven reboots ,,,,why its happening here i just dont know,,its his rom not mine :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Could be because people have been flashing his over yours now. Maybe check into what things are preserved when doing a no wipe flash-over.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
true , i didnt tell people to wipe :o
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
I wouldn't stress about it tazz, I don't think it's specific to your ROM and I refuse to believe this thread is hexed with a GPS curse haha. I've read about other phones running CM7 ROMs(maybe AOSP too) with this exact issue but no true cause has been figured out that I can tell. Must be a coincidence or just the fact that people are actively trying to reproduce the error here and not with Condemned's.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
I wiped myself (boy that sounded dirty), but didn't uncheck that box "restore settings to my phone". I think that may be the cause of some of the weird behavior and strange plus buttons where they shouldn't be.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i noticed the plus button when i plug in the phone to the pc not sure wtf that is ,maybe cs changed something in framework -res i dunno , but i have no reboots
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea but its frustrating , :mad:
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
do you have it on your calendar app? it covers the days on mine. Interesting that you have the same issue...
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
**** stained balls
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok looks like there is a 7.1 im gunna build off and see if it fixes the gps
[Droid Eris Android Development] TheGeek007:
How can you test it? You have a perfect Eris, its horrible for testing! Let us with the cursed Eris's do the testing for you. Thats what minions are good for!
[Droid Eris Android Development] labnjab:
Lol minions with cursed eris's too funny
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i wouldnt call it perfect lol just clean ,, and btw i have 2 eris and they both are fine :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Sign me up for testing when you have a finished product.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
ok guys im gunna upload two versions,, one basic and the other debloated ,,maybe one will work lol

one wil be the normal size 70 + mb

the other just under 60 mb
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Not sure if it's working on the Hero side, but my son tested wifi, it's still broke in 7.1. Status bar closes on USB, too... Just wanted to give a heads up on issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
You're getting a plus sign in your calendar app covering the days?:confused: I don't see anything like that on mine :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I thought you said you saw it too? :confused: lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
No re- read.. I saw it when I plug the phone in .not the calender lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
At least one person has the GPS reboots on GSB also.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
What do you guys think about using TI backup for all your apps and such? Worth it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Absolutely, I have TB Pro, and it's totally worth it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Ok, doing a fresh wipe and install of v24. No frills, nothing extra such as c2c, undead fix. I unchecked the restore google account settings to test that. I'll re-install all my apps and test Nav and Pandora on the way home, about an hour and 15 min away.
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
Do these types of issues happen in your AOSP version? Just curious.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
its not a full blown issue,,, only some have the problem not all, so its hard to say to be honest
[Droid Eris Android Development] DoubleByte:
Sorry to hear that man. Hang in there.

Thanks...I'll give her a spin!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tombepa:
OK, evrything is up and running again, no reboots! everything is even smoother than before and I finally got to see the screen off animation for the first time! It must have been something on the sd card like Conap said. The only thing is that the colors still did not change on the icons, just the status bar. I was flashing 3.5.1, is that the issue with the themes?

edit: OOPS! FC on status bar trying to mount sd card to computer!
[Droid Eris Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Man this is driving me crazy, so everything was going great and I was sitting here watching tv. Next thing I know, my damn phone reboots on its own again, this time it gets stuck in a boot loop. Thought I had it working good. :(

Also i'm flashing v3 and I keep seeing posts about v3.5 and such. Is there a link i'm missing or something ? How do I get a updated version ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
shouldnt be bro ,, i changd with both v,, is a2sd working?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
try to reboot to see icon changes. sometimes they seem to take instantly, sometimes they seem to need a reboot. same thing with shed's cm7.

tazz, it all seems to work including wireless hotspot and built in wired tether, gapps, themes, wifi, market. i need to check gps. flashed 3.5 not 3.5.1 so cant check app2sd
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
finally lol thanx bro
[Droid Eris Android Development] tombepa:
You may think this is dumb but i have never used a2sd so i have no idea
[Droid Eris Android Development] tombepa:
Rebooting changed the colors, did not think of that, THANKS!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
its not dumb bro ,, ive never used it either lol i just figured u flashed that one u would know lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
thank you for all the hard work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
Alright, I just finished with my latest flash (v3.5.1, I know Tazz that was an accident). I flashed the rom and skipped gapps and everything worked with no reboots. I also tried moving apps to my sd card and it appeared to work. I guess it freed up about 10mb's but I don't normally use it so I moved them back. I'm not sure if the google stuff was suppose to be there without flashing gapps so I will try and reflash after reformatting my sd card, but so far so good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
no problem. i found it out by mistake in shed cm7. i was like oh thats cool themes change the status bar. then i rebooted and was surprised that everything else changed. oh and i never use app2sd either.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
if you leave your phone alone for about 10 minutes after the first boot, it may install the gapps from the market without flashing the gapps package. if they don't show up, you can search for them individually in the market and install them from there. flashing gapps seems to cause major issues with v3.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
i dont know y tho ,,, maybe future cm nightlies will address this ,,
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
so i guess its safe to post the update? ill just tell people to formatt their card
[Droid Eris Android Development] mjb413:
And to cancel through the first google apps install from the market.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Busphan:
Yeah, all my apps restored. Well, most of them did. I had a few that the install was unsuccessful, but I just tried again and they all installed.

Tazz, both brightness setting and mount sd card fail (v3.5.1)
[Droid Eris Android Development] tombepa:
Yeah, I never had the need for it. About the only apps I use are twitter, facebook, astro file manager and of course XDA! between working 2 jobs (one of them being BIG RED, especially with what just launched), almost 4 kids, and full time school....who has time for any other apps? :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] C.Hatfield:
Now when you say 'format sd cards' to you mean into partitions ext/2, ext/3, ext/4 .... ???
[Droid Eris Android Development] tombepa:
Fail here as well
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
For some reason on v24, the gallery keeps fc'ing. any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] csleverette:
No that's good enough. I have been following but I was curious if it was a CM or not issue so I was curious about the AOSP build. No biggy though. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
I know I have te perfect Eris but . It's not doing that for me
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Hmm, maybe I was trying to multitask too quick. Its doing great now. Maybe it was still processing all the stuff on my sdcard and stuff was still syncing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] beachbumdeac:
just for testing information... I switched over to Condemned's ROM (which is CM based too, right?) and haven't had a GPS reboot at all, and I've used Nav + audio a lot. I did a full wipe and wiped the SD card too, and flashed the cache2cache script.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bennettg:
now on 24 and had gps reboot. no pandora on phone. no other apps running.

does anyone know what the last version without the gps reboot was?
[Droid Eris Android Development] emarietta:
i have been using the aosp build for like three weeks and i have had no problem. battery life is perfect and its a fast stable rom so i recommend you use that if you are trying to decide
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I think you're the only one to have that with that version... :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Lol well not sure if u saw it not but 24 is that same Rom lol so that makes it even more confusing :confused:
