I cannot seem to get Rhapsody to see my phone using this ROM. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and if so did you find a solution? I'm running SC 2.9 Voodoo. I downloaded the DRM patch zip but that did not change anything for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] ecpolo521:
I've noticed on 2.8 & 2.9, when using Poweramp, the volume stays really low after finishing a phone call. I have to kill Poweramp and restart for the volume to come back. Any ideas on why or how to fix? Besides that, is the only thing I've had an issue with.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssmaster:
Well, last night right before bed I upgraded from 2.8 to 2.9. I have beautiful widgets installed. I went to bed probably at 11, to wake up to no alarm. Luckily I got up only a few minutes late. When i turned on my phone to see what time it was, it said 12:59 am then jumped to 6:20am, the correct time (I was supposed to get up at 5:50). I read that beautiful widgets was the likely culprit. Needless to say, I just un-installed it. Don't need an app to get me in trouble at work :)
[Fascinate Android Development] zakth:
I stopped using BW about two months ago for this very same problem. It seems the widget would somehow freeze the clock until you unlocked the phone. I too had issues with my alarm not sounding because of this. Wishing that was one purchase I did not make seeing how buggy it has been.

Anyone interested in trying a GPS mod (for those with bad GPS)?

Just flash in cwr, and disable/re-enable all your agps and gps settings on next reboot.

[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
What did you mod? My gps isnt too bad but I may test anyways.
[Fascinate Android Development] rushfanx1:
I'll try it now..

Also, I installed the Media Scan fix you posted earlier... But now I have no ringtones.. I think you wrote something about that, but I cant find it.

Im contemplating going back to stock and starting all over again... But i'll try you GPS fix first.
[Fascinate Android Development] RyanBluebirds:
Hmm. Just got a random reboot. Deleted a mail from gmail. Locked my phone and set it down. A minute later I noticed the boot animation going.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Its in the mod thread. There are scripts to enable/disable. You need to disable the scanner mod if you wipe, or you lose ringtones list.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
I changed supl server, port, and gps mode.

I also changed the gps driver back to eb01.
[Fascinate Android Development] rushfanx1:
Thanks... I'll do that.

Anyway, installed GPS mod... Didnt notice any difference... Still took about 1 minute to acquire satellites in Google Navigation. Im on Long Island and have clear view to sky.. It is VERY cloudy and rainy here, so not sure if that affects things.
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
I flashed and it seemed to get my location at about the same speed as before, I'm inside right now though so I will test again in about an hour. I'm only getting within 60 meters right now.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
You guys may want to delete data/xtra.bin and reboot as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] rushfanx1:
I scanned my phone for xtra.bin.... Not found anywhere. So, I guess thats good

;)
[Fascinate Android Development] 4GivenByChrist:
Flashed the fix and deleted the bin file as instructed and noticed a huge speed up in gps lock in Google Latitude and Maps. Will keep an eye on it over the next few days.

[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
This has been a problem for all the Froyo ROM's I have tried, basically voice commands work for a day then stop working. All you get a is a "connection failure" prompt. Does anyone know why?

Edit: Wow my GPS is dead also. Tried the fix and deleted that file. Nothing. :(
[Fascinate Android Development] kwinders:
I scanned mine as well and it didn't find it, I looked manually in the data folder and the xtra.bin file was indeed in there. I deleted and rebooted as suggested, having no problems before or after.

Adryn: when you say not to restore data to prevent the sod, are you referring to app data or system data such as wifi access points, user dicts, etc?
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
Been having more and more of what seem to be called "random reboots" with 2.9, including a weird thing where it won't let me power off -- it reboots instead! LOL. Otherwise, though ... things were working really well. GPS locks were freaking instant, performance was good, didn't have any problems with my data connection getting stuck, etc.

I have at least one dumpsys log on the SD card still I'll look at, but for now I'm opting for a full and complete wipe back to stock (EB01) and bring it back from there tonight.

The first time I used jt's CWM I had lots of problems as well, which I believe at the time I tracked down to DBDATA not getting wiped (solved by using Blue Recovery wipe first). Since Blue recovery isn't available with the updated CWM, could this be a factor? For my rebuild here I'm going to stick with the blue->red CWM and non-voodoo methods to see if my problems are inherant to a mistake I'm making, something in 2.9, or whatever. Never had too good of luck figuring out problems like this, since I run out of time and just ODIN my way back to "all good" so I can use the phone the next morning :)

Frequent Reboots

Same here. I had frequent reboots ( several a day) when I was on 2.6, but since I upgraded to 2.8 I have no that that specific issue. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] SnrSuave:
I am also having random reboots. Haven't had the problem with any other superclean versions. Installed 2.9 last night and have had 3 random reboots so far. But sure what is causing it. Even tried reinstalling 2.9 and I still have reboots.

Here is my install process:

1. Factory reset phone

2. Wipe data in cwm 4 times

3. Wipe cache in cwm 4 times

4. Wipe dalvik cache 4 times

5. Install rom.

Seems others are having reboots as well. Is there a fix our at least a possible cause? Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
Ok I've deleted the above several times and rebooted each time. When I was traveling it took 4-5 min to lock on. I was on above ground metro train but that shouldnt be much different from a car. When I got home it locked in in seconds. I deleted folder, rebooted and it locked on in seconds. Its hard to say if my traveling conditions were interfering. As for if its better than before, thats still subjective. I can say it is locking on quickly right now. I will flash back to previous version for some further evaluation. Do you have any advice or tips to narrow down variables with this? Any other folders or cache I should clear in between tests?
[Fascinate Android Development] superchunkwii:
I was having same issue and this is also the first time I've had this issue in an SC Rom. I just redid the same basic steps as above, but 2-3 times wiping vs 4.

I'll report back after a few hours to say if reboots happening again.

EDIT: Ok, just happened. Any ideas? Go back to 2.8? I think my problems stems from all the changing of CWM. 2.5x to 3.0x back to jt's version in thread (another 2.5x)....
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
If you really want a clean install, I recommend using odin. I think cwm may be leaving something behind since there are still some compatibility issues with the newer versions of froyo and edify and all that. Experimenting with my own phone I've never problems when I odin to start fresh, but I have had strange things happen when I just wiped in cwm at least going from different versions of roms and themes. It could also be something you are restoring back to your phone, you might want to go though your apps.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Your first sentence told me that you installed an incompatible theme. Themes will kill this rom if they are not compatible.
[Fascinate Android Development] Dread This Day:
Try the app on the market, it is called "Rescan", does essentially the same thing but is much easier to toggle, and you won't lose your ringtones.
[Fascinate Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
my .02 cents on 2.9v

- wiped cache and dalvik, but not data over 2.8

- no random reboots

- battery life much worse

- one weird freeze up trying to scan a barcode

- no other problems. Just wonder why my batt life is so bad, others here report that it is good w/ 2.9. mine was great on 2.8.

- also, not a fan of music controls on the lockscreen. I believe you can disable, I was looking around and couldn't find anything?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
You are installing something else that is incompatible. I had someone swear up and down today that my rom was stuck in a reboot loop, no matter what. A little confession later, it was the theme they installed at the same time.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Low signal can cause reboots as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
I did have a low signal when my phone rebooted this morning. Didn't know that could happen. Anyway, installed again and no problems. Handcent kept force closing, but, took it off and then back on with no problems since. Heavy heavy use since earlier post and install and battery is at 60%. Restarted the phone about 7 times just to see if I'd encounter any issues. No theme, just 2.9!
[Fascinate Android Development] RyanBluebirds:
Yeah I think this is my problem as well. I get a low signal here at work. It seems to only be happening around the times my phone accesses data. Super annoying, but I have wifi at work, so I'll just have to keep my phone set to that here. I'm assuming if you had any idea how to stop that from happening you would have fixed it. Roms working great otherwise! No complaints and I love the new messaging colors!

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Ok fixed my GPS issue, what I did was open Google Maps then close it with my GPS on, when I reopened Google maps BAM almost an instant lock. Wierd but it worked I remembered reading that in a thread here. However voice commands stopped working again, I just get "connection failure"
[Fascinate Android Development] redgryphon:
Hi,

I'm no expert but if you didnt wipe cache, dalvik and data this happens. it happened when i upgraded my brothers phone to 2.9 as well after my own. I redid it and wiping all 3 and wifi worked.

Ope this helps.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
The only thing I changed was a notification drop-down twframework-res.apk patch you provided earlier [tw-res.zip] .. I think it was in the old thread. Is that incompatible with 2.9? It would explain a great many things (and force me to face-palm a couple times)

edit: it's this .zip: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11919279&postcount=60

The twframework-res.apk in 2.8 and 2.9 are the same, so (possibly dumb) assumption was that it was OK to replace it with the same file as I did with 2.8.
[Fascinate Android Development] GrainOsand:
Anyone have mms issues? I flashed SC 2.9 today about 2hrs later my mms force closed. Then saved a.report file to my SD card. Weird.
[Fascinate Android Development] Mikes30000:
2 random reboots in 30 minutes. Anyone find a root cause cause for this? Never had a reboot in 6 months
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
After flashing back to my previous setup I tried out the gps again. The first time it took about 45-60 sec to lock. I deleted the folder, rebooted and it locked almost instantly. Google is most likely storing my location so without moving I can only say that your mod is a bit quicker on the initial lock, but as I said before this test, I wasn't really having any gps issues in the first place. It can't hurt for someone with issues to try this out, but its more likely something else about their install is giving them problems. Just my humble opinion and I would be glad to test out in different scenarios for you if you keep working on this mod.
[Fascinate Android Development] SnrSuave:
The only theme I install is the eb01 modded quickpanel. I also added Nuance and the tw clock package. I will start from fresh again and leave the rom stock and see how it goes. Just recently had another reboot. This time I was on a phone call, and when I hung up and tried to lock the phone with the power button, it hung, did the error vibration, then rebooted.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Is there a circle battery mod that's compatible with 2.8 ?
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Alright folks.

Been doing some testing and let me ask this.

All of you with random reboots....how many are using the aosp lockscreen, esp. with something playing in the background?
[Fascinate Android Development] Mikes30000:
Aosp lockscreen here. Not playing music. I do get reboots
[Fascinate Android Development] rushfanx1:
just had my 4th reboot.

Im using aosp...

The only thing in the backgroup was a Sudoku game.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Ok. Anyone else?
[Fascinate Android Development] Andrew179:
I'm using the AOSP lockscreen also. Haven't had any problems with it before 2.9. Also, it seems unrelated to the music app, as I've had it crash first thing after boot.
[Fascinate Android Development] Powell730:
I'm running the rotary unlock, but it's happening usually with nothing running.. I've had this problem since 2.6 I believe..

Superclean 2.6 voodoo.. Thanks devs!!
[Fascinate Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
AOSP yes. No on music

Zero reboots.

[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
Hmmm...

Can some one please comment on whether having sensorserver_yamaha (rotation sensor and compass) polling at between 8% and 16% of the cpu at all times is:

1) expected behavior

2) significantly hurting battery life

Is there anyway we could control the rate at which the sensor is being polled aside from turning of auto-rotate? I've asked before but no one has said anything on the issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] superchunkwii:
aosp yes, nothing running in background that I'm aware of.

This last reboot also made me lose all my widgets in the same fashion as when I wipe all data when I flash a new rom.

Additionally, when the system rebooted it was in "safemode". Odd, considering I didn't realize there was such a thing.... in android/linux.
[Fascinate Android Development] acgr4me:
I am getting the reboots. Going on my third one. I had Pandora running earlier and I was using aosp lock going.
[Fascinate Android Development] Fyrmedic654:
I too am using the AOSP lock and getting the reboots, as many as 6 an hour, but there is nothing that should be causing it. It happens when playing music, happens when not. Happens when it is just sitting doing nothing. I want to say i have narrowed it down to to the Yahoo mail app, because it more frequently happens when I receive emails or am doing anything in the app. I am restoring to stock and then going back to 2.9 to see if that clears anything up. Gonna wait to put the yahoo app back on. Let you guys know after it gets done and sits for a while.
[Fascinate Android Development] superchunkwii:
Wouldn't the question also stand if someone has been using their phone with 2.9 with AOSP unlock screen and has never had a forced reboot?
[Fascinate Android Development] RyanBluebirds:
That happened to me when I was downloading a file for a game which was installing to the SD card and the phone went to the asop lockscreen. It rebooted and I was stuck in safemode until I did a battery pull.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
I think the aosp and rotary lock are buggered from the music controls. I am still running some tests. For stability reasons, I recommend you switch to a different lockscreen.
[Fascinate Android Development] Scrappy1:
I've been chasing the froyo battery demons on SC 2.8, and this is what I've found. My main concern is idle screen-off battery usage related to wifi. Now then, I get the heavy drain (5-8 % per hr) when all of the following are true simultaneously: wifi enabled & wifi not connected to AP & Google location services enabled & Google latitude running. If I remove any one piece, my idle battery drain drops to eclair levels (~1% per hr). Oh yea, and also need to toggle airplane mode after reboot to prevent 50% time without signal bug and associated battery loss.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedfrk:
I guess I am the only one but I have NO problems with 2.8 and great battery life so I don't want to switch.. I just need the TW calculator .... is that in a patch somewhere I just can't seem to find it.
[Fascinate Android Development] 4GivenByChrist:
I've been using rotary lock since you added it through all the different revisions and have not had any problems. Also used the music controls with Pandora and TunedIn and had no issue with either.!

[Fascinate Android Development] RyanBluebirds:
Yeah I just got a crazy amount of reboots just trying to send and receive text messages ASOP lockscreen enabled. I noticed that those reboots never display the samsung logo, just the boot animation. A few times I would hear the text messaging notifications even though the boot animation was just looping. I switched to epic unlock for now, I'll post if I continue to have them, but it seems to be working fine at the moment.
[Fascinate Android Development] SnrSuave:
I am also using AOSP lockscreen and and getting reboots. Wasn't listening to any music when they occurred. I will switch to a different launcher and see if that help. Is there any other launcher we should be staying away from, or just AOSP?
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacking:
I just have to say thank you soo much adryn! I've gone through many phones and many more roms, and this is the best by far! I was running the 1.3ghz non voodoo kernel before this and I don't even want to overclock now after using this rom, it is soo snappy! And I love all of the froyo software it is awesome! This rom gives me a new love for my phone. I am very satisfied I don't know if I even want to update to stock froyo if it ever comes out.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
AOSP lock screen here. It does appear to happen when nothing is running. I'll have it in my hand with the screen off and feel it vibrate once then I look at the screen and it's the boot animation.
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:

Since flashing rom again this morning @10, I have not had one single reboot with near continuous usage and battery is at 31% using wifi and 3g. Texting, xda app, facebook, twitter, surfing, etc. Running voodoo(not enabled) and no theme. And still using AOSP lock!
[Fascinate Android Development] cesium:
Since SC2.8 (was on blackhole before), LauncherPro refuses to save settings and randomly reverts back to non-Plus version. Anyone have any ideas?

With regards to saving settings, they would go away after a reboot or restarting LauncherPro itself. This poses a problem, as certain settings require you to restart LP in order for them to become active. As soon as you do, it's back to default settings...

This happens for my brother as well, who Odin'd to stock before flashing SC2.8

This will sound douchey, but I don't even recall the issue.

If you are having crashes, etc.

Wipe data/factory reset.

Install rom (NOTHING ELSE)

Reboot

Skip setup, and go into privacy settings and disable automatic data restore.

Then install one app at a time, and test your stability from there.

Disable auto rotate on your launcher if its on.
